Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Bottle five at fifty five k RC detalk station. Happy Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Okay, well.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
There it is. You know it's Friday. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Joe Strecker, executive producer for the Woo Whoo and Brian
Thomas is my name, hosted the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
And I love Fridays.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Regular listeners know that tone of my voice, Slider, and
I feel a lot better because it's coming up on
the weekend. I love having some time off and sleep
in the end.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Anyway, that's my life.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Feel free to call if you'd like to comment about
something like men beating up women and women's boxing in
the Olympics. That's a possible conversation point. We have Senator
rand Paul coming up just in one hour six five
Senator Ran Paul commenting on the failure of the United
States Secret Service and also some thoughts and comments on
why he voted no for that so called that bill
that they passed to as an effort to protect children

(01:13):
online and the online access to information.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
He was a no on that.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It was a ninety three to three vote, if I
recall correctly, one of three senators who said no. He's
got reasons for that and he'll explain them coming up
in one hour along with his breakdown of the failure
of the United States Secret Service. Got more information on
that today as well, or folks coming out of the
woodwork on that one, and the Secret Service responding to
the video that one of the guys who got shot

(01:38):
took which clearly shows the crooks kid walking along that
building a couple of minutes before Donald Trump got shot
at It's just amazing how pathetic that looks. Anyhow, it
is Friday, so we get Tech Friday with Dave Hatter.
Oh I love this first one. Yeah, great, another CrowdStrike

(02:00):
like outage. Remember the CrowdStrike outag which knocked out the airlines.
I mentioned the other day that costumes United five one
hundred million dollars because of the five thousand flights they
had to cancel just one company. That's the business interruption
lost this one company face. Anyway, CrowdStrike obviously demonstrates how
interconnected we are and what a failure on one little

(02:21):
tiny aspect of our networks and operating systems can do.
Another crowdstike like outage could collapse society. That's the topic
point with Dave Jeez x ray machines exposing privacy violations,
and more businesses are experiencing email attacks. Got a comment
on that one here in a moment. Two Frank Whitton Camp,

(02:42):
World War two veteran. He's going to be on the
program seven oh five at his experiences in the war
as well as growing up in Cincinnati ninety years ago.
What a wonderful man. Frank Whitton Camp is seven oh
five for the World War two veteran and hero Joe
Montgomery Patriots Landing. We're talking with Joe at eight and
finally it is the Mediterranean Food Festival Saint Anthony of

(03:04):
Pado weekend. We're gonna eat some wonderful Mediterranean food. I
love the food that they make, love it, so we
get to talk about that.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
At eight thirties.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
We close out the show on an extraordinarily happy note,
awesome food. As we go into a weekend five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty eight hundred eight two to three talk found
five fifty on eighteen and t phones. Let us see
here a couple of things related. Well, let's start with
here at Ohio the first Paul I think I've seen

(03:33):
uh with regard to shared brown Bernie Marino race and
I have been a little maybe overly critical of Bernie
Marino for not launching the campaign a little bit earlier.
Shared Brown has been spending millions and millions of dollars, recognizing,
of course, that Ohio went really strong Trump and apparently
Susan Collins have Maine the only Senator who has won

(03:54):
a Senate race in a state where the party's presidential
nominee has lost in the past couple of cycles. So
fighting uphill battles Shared Brown. Maybe if Donald Trump does
indeed prevail here in Ohio courting the new AARP pole,
Brown is holding a small lead over Bernie Moreno forty
six to forty two. Twelve percent of the voters says

(04:14):
choosing another candidate are undecided. Okay, let's see running ahead
hit while the actually Shared Brown's doing better than Kamala
Harris in Ohio seven points better Donald Trump holding a
lead in the same pole over over over Kamala Harris
forty eight to thirty nine. That is, this substantial lead

(04:34):
Trump has here in the state of Ohio, and yet
Shared Brown still leads Bernie Moreno. M Brown leading Moreno
by twelve points with independence separate fun fact in the
breakdown and also Brown apparently holds support of fourteen percent
of Republicans. Harris gets seven percent of Republicans. Harris tied

(04:59):
with Trump among independence here in the state of Ohio.
That to me is a weird poll. I don't understand it.
And of course there is time to turn it around.
We're going fast approaching the election and in the waning
time for Well Actually moving over to analysis of Kamala Harris.
Isn't it interesting that this late shift to Kamala Harris
for vice for President of the United States of America
the coup atta we have so little time to thoroughly

(05:23):
analyze her record. Now we all thought it was in
the bag when they were dissing Kamala Harris as under
consideration because she obviously pulled pulled so poorly over and
over again. But they're in the process of rewriting history.
We are living in an Orwellian moment like I've never
witnessed in my life. She's now in favor of racking

(05:43):
when she was absolutely one hundred percent anti fracking. She
no longer wants to do a gun buyback. She wants
to allow you to keep the guns that are on
the street and yet still bad ar fifteen. She's just
moving all the way across the board on every single
policy point that she was in trouble over now is
taking a different point of view, and the media is
in the bag for her, of course, massaging that message

(06:06):
and parenthetically, as we all know, she was never the
borders are, by.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
The way, so.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Disturbed by all this I am, But I mean, listen,
I know who I'm voting for, I know the issues,
and I know where she stands on the issues, and
she can't change her tune last minute and convince me
that she's well moderated. Never going to convince me she's
a moderate. And of course Bertie Marina has got some
time to get the ads out and of course close

(06:39):
the gap he currently faces here in the state of Ohio.
So I'm looking forward to the moment in time when
that happens. We also a still in the process of
purging non citizens from the voter roles here in Ohio
as well. Frank LeRose just announced the other day that
he has purged a whole bunch of folks illegal immigrants.
Audit that they were doing uncovered almost five hundred individuals
who are registered to but were not US citizens. These

(07:02):
remobls announced yesterday, including individuals who confirmed their non citizen
status to the Ohio Bureau Motor Vehicles. What they did
was cross reference it with the Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements federal database, which we didn't have access to before
until Frank Loro started demanding it and the federal government said, okay,

(07:23):
we'll let you have access to that. So cross referencing
the citizen status as reflected by the DMV here in
Ohio with the SAVE database confirming these folks were not
citizens ergo under Ohio law, not well under federal law.
For federal elections under high law, not allowed to vote.
I had previously removed one hundred and thirty six non
citizens from the voter rules back in May as a

(07:45):
result of an internal investigation which relied on only state data,
and that's when Frank said, hey, hey, we need to
save data so we can cross reference and make sure
that these removals are appropriate. Could result in prosecution for
some of them, but he did. He was kind of

(08:07):
soft pedal in that he said, I want to give
these folks the benefit of that and say that most
of them did not intend to break the law, but
they will be referred over for investigation in terms of
whether they willingly registered to vote when they knew they
weren't eligible. We also removed nearly one hundred and fifty
five thousand registrations confirmed to be abandoned and inactive for

(08:27):
at least four consecutive years. So following the protocol and
keeping the voter ranks secure and accurate. Frank LeRose is
doing his job. So good for you, Frank, appreciate that.
And further to the concerns we're going to be talking
about with tech Friday's Day, have had a CrowdStrike like
outage could collapse society and related to the elections, federal

(08:49):
agencies have issued and alert are you ready and you
know it's coming.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I got like a list.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Of you know, they call it October surprises, and I
have a list that floats around in the back of
my minds about what can happen between now and then
to give us like a COVID nineteen like event which
will impact our voting in November. Federal agencies issued the
alert of a possible cyber attack targeting the November elections,

(09:18):
which could prevent access to critical election information. Great issued
Wednesday by the FBI and Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency SISA
potential distributed denial of service d DOOS attack against election infrastructure.
In such attacks, apparently, internet servers are flooded with enough

(09:40):
request to slow down servers to the point where they
can't even be accessible, or they crash completely, preventing you
and me from accessing servers and online resources.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
These d DOOS attacks that the.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
FBI's warning about could end up preventing voters from accessing
websites detailing how to vote, or even registering to vote.
The announcement, they could disrupt the availability of some election
related functions like voter look up tools on official election
night reporting, but they claim it will not affect the
integrity of the election process. Their words, not mine, and

(10:16):
someone wrote hmm after that on the article discussing this,
in the event of attacking against election infrastructure quote, the
underlying data and internal systems would remain uncompromised, and anyone
eligible to vote would still be able to cast a ballot,
they claim sins a senior advisor k Conny quote. With

(10:38):
election day less than one hundred days away, it's important
to help put into context some of the incidents the
American public may seed during the election cycle. Yeah, I
guess I'm sort of scratching my head and maybe Dave
Dave Hader could address this on how it is that
these attacks could only impact your ability to inquire about

(11:00):
the election and the rules and related functions or register,
but maybe never have an impact on the ultimate vote.
Federal agencies said hackers in the past have falsely claimed
DDS attacks have compromised the integrity of voting systems to
mislead the public that their attack would prevent a vote

(11:22):
from casting, about or change votes already cast. I know
many of my listeners claim that that has happened before.
Statement says the FBI and SISA have no reporting to
suggest a d DOS attack has ever prevented an eligible
voter from casting a ballot, compromise the integrity of any

(11:42):
ballots cast, or disrupted the ability to tabulate votes or
transmit election results in a timely matter. That point, as
you note in that statement, relates to d DOS attacks
the denial of service attacks because the sites get swamped
by bot farms all at one time trying to access

(12:04):
the site. Fine that particular site not linked to your
vote or the vote you cast. Fine, what of other attacks,
what of other nefarious actors or elements hacking into the system.
We've seen this for our own federal government in the
chacoms and the Russians planning software that remained on our

(12:24):
systems for what I think was described as years, just
sort of sitting in the background, as Dave talks about
all the time, waiting to be launched in order to
follow through with whatever activity they were designed to do.
But there they were already embedded in the system. So
I mean, you get a warning like this and eraises
red flags and you get concerned, But nothing to see here,

(12:47):
at least in so far as a d DOOS attack
is concerned with regard to the integrity of the actual
votes cast. So don't worry, folks. Everything's a okay. Doesn't
make me want to it doesn't give me a sense
of comfort. Five eighteen fifty five K City Talk station, Kevin,
Hang on a second, brother, I'll get your call. I

(13:08):
just looked up and saw I was way out of
time and stime for you to mention chimney care, fireplace
and stoves. I've been pointing out summertime is when you
take care of your safety, so you can enjoy the
comfort with peace of mind. And that's what Chimneycare, Fireplace
and Stove is all about. They do comfort and they
do safety. So let's start with safety. Since you're not
using your fireplace, have it inspected. If you got a
wood burner, you know you got creosol build up, soot

(13:30):
and all that stuff that attaches to the lining, and
the chimney dock catches on fire and we'll crack the lining.
And from my understanding, it's the second chimney fire that
well may burn your house down or something like that.
You could already have a cracked lining and you don't
even know about it. When's the last time you had
your chimney inspected? Call the Chimneycare Fireplace and stuff. When
whether that chimney isn't connected to a real fireplace, Maybe

(13:50):
you got an insert in there, would like the wood
waste pellet stove inserts which Chimney Care sells, you need
to look at. Could have water damage in there. And
they do literally everything in terms of service and safety.
So now's the time to take care of the safety.
And while you have them over to your house and
inspect the chimney, or alternatively have them over to your
house to clean your dryer.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Vent out.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
You're spending too much damn money with your dryer running
longer than it has to with a clogged dryer event.
Plus that also represents a fire hazard. A plus better
business Bureau showroom with everything you could ever hope for.
Located four to thirteen Wards Corner Road. Find them online
Chimneycareco dot com, Chimneycareco dot com and tell them. Brian said,
how can you call for the inspection? Five one, three,
two four eight ninety six hundred.

Speaker 4 (14:33):

Speaker 5 (15:03):
I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Now, Lord, keep your stupid mouth shut Thank you, Jay speaking.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
On behalf of my entire listening audience, at least the
vast majority of them. Five forty two coming up a
five to forty three at five krc DE talk station.
Let me wake us up this morning. Feeling better already
go to the phone. So what Kevin's got to say? Kevin,
thanks for holding over the brake there walking on the program.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Happy Friday, Hey, Happy Friday Brown.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
How much you want to bet the next Summer Olympic
Circus includes a drag queen competition for minors.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Uh, that's probably a safe bet.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
Don't don't damon crat.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Joe Tracker said that I didn't see the fight that
has heard about a forty six seconds and the woman
was Joe said it was brutal. Hecause if you watch
that thing, he said, it was just brutal. I saw
a Babylon b post. It's hilarious because that's of course
the satire site and they have a picture of them
holding up Aman Khalif's hand headline. Iman Khalif wins first
ever gold medal in freestyle domestic violence. What's the world

(16:23):
coming to, Kevin? What's the world coming to? Thanks to
the hey man it's Friday. Thanks to the laugh. Appreciate it.
Have a great weekend. Oh that's why I love I
even feel lighter on Fridays. Just the day itself makes
me feel better than the weight of the world relieved
from my shoulders. And I hope you share that feeling yourself. Anyhow,

(16:44):
I'll add one more real quick hacker related news. Hackers
hit a US blood bank more than two hundred and
fifty hospitals or apparently without blood or at least it's
been shut down, and it was not just this one.
It's the company's called one Blood serves one hundred and
fifth the American hospitals in the Southeast region. Ransomware attack.

(17:05):
They say the running it significantly reduced capacity. After this
ransomware attack, blood Bank has implemented what they're calling manual
processes and procedures just to remain operational. However, does take
significantly longer to perform an impact inventory availability, meaning people's
lives are at risk as a consequence of this ransomware attack,

(17:30):
and it's one of many hacking attempts targeting the US
healthcare system. As the information has been reported. Back in February, remember,
the United Health Group got hit, one third of all
Americans could have had their sensitive health information leaked under
the dark web. As a consequence of that, United Health
had to pay twenty two million dollars to the hackers

(17:51):
as ransom. They paid it in bitcoin. Kaiser Permanente in
April got breached. Thirteen point four million individuals had their
data hacked, and apparently, in a report back in June,
Data Security Company's Security Scorecard pointed out that thirty five
percent of third party data breaches in the United States

(18:12):
last year alone affected healthcare organization, outpacing every other sector
of business. So lucrative. Apparently, twenty two million in bitcoin
for one hack that's worth the effort. Why do you
think they're targeting the healthcare infrastructure? As I stare at
the ominous first topic with Dave Hatter at six thirty,

(18:34):
a societal collapse as a consequence of a typical CrowdStrike
like hack five twenty sixty five care see detalk station again.
To keep thinking toward November and all the potential downsides
and risk that we face every single day, and how
much more compounded the problem would be as we go
into a well. I think in my lifetime the most

(18:56):
important presidential election, we'll ever see tight Plumbing's always plumbing
done right. Call my friends at plumb Tight. You have
a house, you have a plumbing need, You are in
the right hands of plumb tighte Plumbing outstanding customer service

they enjoy an A plus with the better business faarunt

Tight does plumbing right and they live by that motto.

They'll provide you with the truly exceptional plumbing experiences they
have with me the multiple times have been over to
my house.

Speaker 3 (19:25):

you know when they're on their way over. You get
an actual license plumber working on your project, and they
will quote you a fair and ethical price and there's
never this service charge. They don't charge a mileage fee
like so many other businesses do. So no matter how
big or small your plumbing job is. From a leaky
pie to well, how about a whole bathroom remodel with

(19:47):
a whole bunch of plumbing that it'd be done from
the basement all the way up. Yeah, they did a
great job on that for my home, and I know

Talk Station. Just hi five thirty one. Here at fifty
five KRCD Talk Station. Remember the podcast page fifty five

(20:42):
KRC dot com. Get your dose of Jay Ratliffe discussing
aviation issues. We also talked about the FED rate increase,
our decrease that's coming, maybe coming, or maybe not. He
does do a wonderful job with stocks and stocks analysis.
Let's see here Americans for Prosperity joined us yesterday, and
of course other topics. Jay Carson Buckeye Institute. They're discussing

(21:05):
lawsuit and union dues. I just couldn't believe that unions
have just the nerve taking dues from someone who's not
a union member. I don't know how that's even not
I thought it might decriminal. You're stealing. Anyway, It's an
interesting discussion, and of course, thank god for the Buckeye
Institute providing free legal representation, because who among us would

(21:26):
hire a four or five hundred dollars an hour lawyer
simply to recover two thousand dollars in inappropriately stolen wages. Anyhow,
let's move over to local stories here. Let's see u
man in custody in Butler County jail twenty years after
shooting and killing a twenty five year old Benjamin Bisara.
Accord to the US Marshall announcement. Yesterday, Antonio Rihano arrested

(21:51):
in the state of Oaksaka, Mexico, he was working as
a local police officer when he got arrested yesterday. He
was extra extradited for Mexican authorities in Mexico City, taking
to Butler County to face proceedings. US Marshals and said
Brianna is listed as one of Butler County Sheriff's office
most wanted suspects and was profiled on the television so
America's Most Wanted back in two thousand and five. That

(22:14):
was a year after the murder court to the statement,
US Marshal Service through our Violent Fugitive Task Force assists
or state local law enforcement partners to apprehend the area's
most dangerous fugitives. This arrest is the result of the
ongoing sharing of information between the agencies and the determination
of the investigators who refuse to give up on this case. Amen,

(22:35):
and thank you for continuing to follow up. Justice served
late is better than justice not being served. Let's see
here one second, Mark Climont County man accused of providing
methan fetamine to a minor who was reported missing, according
to Claimont County Affidavid. Court records show Damian Beckett, twenty nine,

(22:56):
facing two counts of corrupting another with drugs, and one
kind of tampering with evidence in connections with the incident
of the curd in July nineteenth. You Shit Township police
found the fifteen year old was entered into the National
Crime Information Center database for criminal justice agencies to search
for information about stolen property, missing or wanted persons, among
other things, and they searched the National Sex Offender Registry

(23:18):
fifteen year old. Total investigators that Beckett provided the meth
to the juvenile and that the juvenile snorted the substance.
Bond in Claremont County, unlike Hamilton, Hamilton County, Ohio, bond
set at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Mark, Welcome
to the program, Thanks for calling in this morning, and
a happy Friday to you.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
Good morning.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
I'd be Friday too. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
I heard about that yesterday and then when I got
home last night, I saw the video of the guy
beating the girl up in the Olympics. And you know
what they should do is it seems to start champion
of the women's boxing and gender doesn't matter. He s
fight the gold medal winner of the men's boxing. See

(24:04):
how long he lasts, and that way we have an
over it's a super gold medal, you know. Uh, it's
just pathetic. And this guy raises his hand like he's
some sort of champion victor, and this poor girl's in
the center ring calling her eyes out because she's worked
for however long to get where she was. And I

(24:27):
think if you go back, the first time that I
remember this ever being a thing in college sports was
when the guy that calls himself Lea Thomas, you know,
the swimmer yep uh is in the national Championships or whatever.
What all the girls should have done on the starting
blocks that day when they fired a gun, all of

(24:49):
them should stood there and let him jump into the pool,
buy himself, swim the event, buy himself, and that would
have that would have nipped all of this in the.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Fun, you know more mark any that I agree with
you that that would have been the right thing to do. However,
the woke society and the uh, the powers that be
in the social media would have come down upon them hard.
And many women in women swimming are so woke themselves
that they think it's aoka that they have to swim
against a guy. I mean, you've heard women in professional

(25:19):
sports defending this nonsense, And I don't understand where that
comes from.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I really don't.

Speaker 8 (25:25):
I totally agree, I totally agree. I don't know where
it comes from. And I think the girl's name is
Riley Gains.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
But yeah, plan for Kentucky.

Speaker 8 (25:32):
She's been very outspoken about it, right, and good for
her for standing up and saying what needs to be said,
because you're right, a lot of these and you'll call
them kids or these young adults are scared to go
against the brain or go against conventional wisdom because of
the fallout. And but again, so my question is for

(25:54):
the Olympics, they let a guy go in there and
beat the crap out of the girl. But so is
there any other sports that I haven't heard about it
it's swimmy or gymnastics, or I mean South Park did
years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
It's gone viral. That episode has gone viral. Mark It's
got it's everywhere, macho man Randy Savage donning a wig
and complain and saying he's a strong woman and literally
beating the crap out of a real woman in the ring.
It's listen, Life is now imitating south Park And isn't

(26:31):
that hilarious? Because South Park usually does a great send
up of life. Mark, thanks for the call. Brother at
a time, have a wonderful weekend five thirty six. If

suspended from the teaching job. July first, Randolph County Sheriff
received a report in regarding sexual allegation regarding a teacher
and as student at random and High school in North Carolina.
Taking indecent liberties with a student considered a Class one
felony for school personnelity, teachers, administrators, and coaches who are

(36:20):
at least four years older than the underage victim. I
don't know what the deal is with the four anyway. Wednesday,
thirty nine year old Brittany Marie Vernon was arrested after

to the program, my friend. It's always a pleasure speaking
with you.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
Thanks Brian, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I know, people generally have lost a lot of confidence
in government for a whole variety of reasons. Our lettered
agencies have let us down from time to time. And
here we are pivoting over to the US Secret Service,
who obviously let former President Donald Trump down. He was
just a fraction of an inch away from getting assassinated.
And then the failures are revealed. This so much so,

(38:27):
Senator Paul, and I know there's a million conspiracy theories
rolling around the internet about this, and I'm the kind
of guy who wants to sit back and wait till
the dust settles and they get my evidence. But more
and more people are concluding that maybe this negligence, and
I would call it gross negligence, was by design. I
haven't reached that point yet, but it's so bad optically
speaking that people are drawing those conclusions. What is your

(38:50):
reaction to the failures and what are we going to
be doing about it? On a going forward basis, Senator Ran.

Speaker 7 (38:55):
Paul, without question, these failures are indefensible. They're grotesque. They're
such that the average ordinary citizen, who knows nothing about
security as appalled to find out what happened. The police
had identified this suspect ninety minutes before the shooting. He

(39:16):
was seen at four point thirty. The shooting happened at
six' eleven. At four point thirty, they're saying, looks like
he's eyeing your position up there. Looks like he's learning
about the structure. Well, that sounds suspicious enough to.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
Go talk to him.

Speaker 7 (39:30):
Had they at any point in the ninety minutes gone
and talked to him, he had a backpack with him.
Backpack probably weighed I don't know, ten to fifteen pounds
because it had an ar fifteen innut folded up. At
any point in time, had they confronted him, this would
have been prevented. But even at the very end, let's
say the ninety minutes goes on, you getting to the
point where he's now in the roof. He gets on

(39:51):
the roof at six oh six. The shooting is at
six ' eleven. He asked to traverse about fifty yards
on the roofs. There's four bill holdings that are joined
by roof, but you have to go up and down
a little bit. You go down five feet here, up
five feet there, and he's basically I got a run across,
you know, about fifty yards worth of roof. He does that,

(40:12):
and so at six he gets on the roof. At
six oh six, Within about a minute or so, a
brown six oh six, the crowd is shouting, man on
the roof, Man on the roof. At six oh eight,
police saying, man on a roof, man on a roof.
They still don't see a gun because he's tribably gotten
his backpack and he hadn't assembled the gun yet. But
at six oh eight, so man on a roof at

(40:34):
six oh eight, Now the police know at six '
oh eight it's three more minutes to the shooting. Why
in the world would there not be an all points
bulletin broadcast potential shooter on the roof, take the president
off the stage and hit three minutes. That's that's a
long time. That's an enormous amount of time to take

(40:54):
him off the stage. Now they still probably can't shoot
this person. They haven't seen a weapon yet. But by golly,
somebody on the roof is potentially an assassin, and uh,
you know, it's just inexcusable at every turn. The first
Secret Service director was a complete imbecile, a complete uh
you know, uh, completely unrepresentative of what good people would

(41:17):
do in the situation. She wouldn't answer any questions, and
she was she was fired finally or she resigned. The
new director came in and testified before my committee, and
there's certain things that are encouraged about him. He seems
more you know, military, he's a career, uh you know,
officer of police officer, Secret Service officer, and he says

(41:39):
it will be accountability. He has a disciplinary hearing and
on the face of that, Doll was very good. But
also during the hearing he kind of pointed fingers at
the local police and kind of try to blame it
on them. And my point to him, wash who's in charge?
Who's in charge of the operation? He says, without questioning,
the Secret Service. So there was at least one or

(41:59):
two age in charge of this. They can't do this again.
They showed that they do not have the management or
discernment to be in charge of this because they failed
so significantly and The thing is is even if you
even if they really do claim, which the local police
deny this, but if they claim we assigned that roof

(42:19):
to the local police, When you're the Secret serviceation in
charge and you walk on the grounds and you say, oh,
my goodness, he's going to be standing here and look
at that roof, you know you would you would then say, no,
we do have to have somebody the roof. It is
your It is your responsibility. Yesterday, I don't know if
you saw this, but a video came out from one
of the guys that was shot in the first row

(42:40):
behind Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
I saw he's videotaping.

Speaker 7 (42:44):
Donald Trump and you see the shooter in the background.
That even more remarkable than the shooter is how close
that building is. That building, that building looms so large. Now,
something that's a trick of perspective, I think with the photography,
but that building is pretty damn close and to have
left it unguarded is inexcusable. That person needs to be
fired and never in charge. And I asked, I asked

(43:06):
the director this directly. I said, you know, people want
to know that that person's not going to be in
charge of making decisions at the Democrat National Convention in
two weeks. He says, Oh, that won't be But then
later on he says, oh, but they're still working, and
you know, we don't want to reveal their names for
their safety. And it's like, well, maybe they shouldn't be working.
Maybe they should be on a desk job. I understand
the need for a procedure or a disciplinary hearing, but they

(43:29):
shouldn't be out there making decisions on the heels of this.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Oh, without question, And I thought it was rather here.
It was James Copenhab that got shot. He's the one
that took that video. But when you watch it, I
mean you can see Crook's head just move right along
that roof line. I mean it's like a giant red
flag being waved that there's a guy out there. You've
got Secret Service snipers perched behind and elevated behind Trump.
I mean that had to be as apparent as the

(43:54):
is the hand in front of their face from that perspective,
Yet no one saw.

Speaker 7 (43:58):
Him, and just one thing after another, I tend not
to want to believe that, Oh, you know, in order
for a whole bunch of people to be in league
and this could be a purposeful thing by government. You'd
have to imagine, you know, several people all deciding that
While I do think there's Trump patrood out there, there
definitely was Trump patriot at the FBI. I just you know,

(44:19):
can't believe. You know, we'll look where the evidence takes it,
but I can't believe that there would be enough people
that are going to get together to actually try to
allow a former president to be killed. Now, I do
think that we need to examine their reasons why they
denied extra security for him. So this question came up
right after the shooting, and the Secret Service was asked,

(44:40):
did Trump campaign or Trump's Secret Service detail asked for
extra security? And the answer explicitly from the Secret Service
was no. And we put that up there yesterday and
we said we now know this to be untrue. And
the acting director said, no, that is true. That saying
absolutely is true for Butler and I looked at that,

(45:02):
and I looked at him incredulously, and I thought, he's
basically telling us that a statement that didn't mention Butler
County is true for Butler County, when in reality, the
question that was asked was was Secret Service protection denied
at any time? Not just for the one event, and
so really it's a very deceptive statement. If you're putting

(45:23):
out a statement saying no secret additional Secret Service agents
were not denied, and then she says, oh, yeah, for Butler,
they weren't, but that wasn't in what the statement said.
So it's really really deceptive parsing of words, which makes
me think, oh, my goodness, this is an agency that
isn't being completely honest with us well.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
And not forthright with the information. I mean, when Cheetah
was testifying, and you're right, she was an embarrassment. I
felt embarrassed for he was so terrible. But she would
not even answer questions about the information she had at
the time. She could have, you know, like, what was
the first time Secret Service gout noticed of this guy,
I can't answer that because the investigation's not over. Well,
what do you know now, change the testimony later if

(46:03):
your report determines that, no, the first interaction was not
at that time what I said in front of Congress,
it was over here. Fine, you got yourself some cover,
but what do you know now? By the time she
was in front of the members of Congress, she had
literally talked to every member of Secret Service who was there,
so it's not as if she didn't have the information.

Speaker 7 (46:22):
Yeah, and this is what makes people distrust government. This
is what feeds conspiracy theories, is when government isn't honest
and won't put things forward. It's like it took them
two weeks to tell us that there were eight bullets fired,
and you know that should have been that was known
that day when they went to collect the shooter's body.
There were eight casings there, and I think they knew
within a day or two. They're still doing some investigation

(46:44):
on trajectory and things, but they knew eight shots were fired.
And you know, I think they have audio of it
so they can hear the eight shots being fired, which
helps to dispel any kind of notion of a second shooter.
And that should be put out there and they could
always say we're still investigation, but right now, our evidence
points towards there being a single shooter and eight shots fired.

(47:05):
The audio agrees with the bullet casings, and we see
the evidence of a second shooter, and then that puts
people at ease. You know this, there weren't two shooters
at the assassination.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Attempt, exactly right. You got to give us what you know,
none of it's harmful. The investigation can continue to at
least satisfy us with some information now, and that's not
what we get, you know. I mean, let's face it,
Senator ran Paul, if it was not for local law enforcement,
we'd have very little information at all on this thing.

Speaker 7 (47:33):
Yeah, and they've been very forthcoming. We've met with them,
we've interviewed with them. They haven't said the lawyers. They're saying,
here's the truth, and we want everybody to know the
truth about this, and that's that's kind of what we need.
We just need to not have, you know, the dissembling
and evasion and just the typical government people trying not

(47:55):
to basically to cover their ass more than to actually
tell the truth.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Indeed, we do well. Senator Rampai, I certainly appreciate you
joining the Morning Show this morning. Oh very briefly before
we part company. You are one of the few no
votes on that Internet Children Protection Bill the other day,
and I from my perspective, I certainly understand why you're
a no vote, but ninety three to three or something
had passed.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I just want to know if you.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Could articulately briefly for my listeners, your explanation as to
why it was not worthy of your vote.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
This bill sets up something called the Children's Online Safety Committee.
The Children's Online Safety Committee will then be tasked with
trying to regulate any kind of content that causes anxiety
in teenagers.

Speaker 6 (48:41):
So let's say there's a.

Speaker 7 (48:42):
Fifteen year old girl and she's pregnant, and she's trying
to decide whether to keep the baby or have an abortion.
And so let's say you're on the pro life side
where I am, and they are pregnancy centers that would
have information out there. But let's say her mother wants
her to have an abortion, and her mother says, this
pregnancy center shouldn't be allowed to broadcast this because it's

(49:03):
causing my child anxiety. To we ban the pregnancy center.
On the other side of it, what if she, you know,
is you know, the reproductive health abortion people, you know,
should that be banned and she shouldn't be allowed to
hear about that because she's really pro life and that
is upsetting her and causing her anxiety. I mean, it's
kind of crazy that we'd let government regulate things to

(49:23):
cause teenagers anxiety. The most famous case is Greta Thunberg,
that foolish girl from Europe who was crazy about climate alarmism.
I think the world's going to end. She didn't eat
for a year because she's anxious about the climate. Harvard
did a study in sixty five percent of young people
between the ages of fifteen and thirty say that they're

(49:44):
anxious enough about the climate that it affects their daily routine.
Does that mean that when I tell them it's all
a bunch of bunk and it's climate alarmism and they're exaggerators,
that maybe I should be banned and the teenagers shouldn't
be allowed to see my website if I say that
because it causes anxiety. Is Pandora's box of censorship. It's
well intended by you know, moms who have lost kids

(50:05):
to suicide and things like this, and it's so tragic,
and everybody wants an answer for suicide. And you know,
I hanging members a kid having friends who committed suicide. No,
we all wanted explanations, but you know, sometimes there isn't.
And you know, here's another example. I love to watch golf.
Golf has nothing but gambling heads on now. And you

(50:26):
can argue pros and cons of it, but you can
watch it on TV. This bill would actually ban streaming
of PGA golf and fan duel commercials on certain websites
for fear that kids might see gambling advertisements. Same with beer.
They would the screen beer commercials so the kid can
watch the super Bowl on TV. They can watch PGA

(50:48):
golf on TV, but they can't watch it on Facebook.
It's just this bizarre thing. It's going to be a
terrible bill, and I think the courts may eventually strike
it down. It's unconstitutional.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yeah, and at the decisions on what is harmful or
not made by a panel within the federal government is
my understanding.

Speaker 7 (51:06):
Right, and it used to be that conservatives understood and
still a lot of us do that. It's the family unit.
It's the responsibility to the parents, and tragedies happen. Look,
they have to put to good parents. Yes, you know,
everybody tries to keep their kids from bad stuff online
and keep them but ultimately the only way to make
the judgment on it. You know, some parents are really
hardcore them to give their kids smartphones till a certain age,

(51:28):
and that's one way of doing it. But I'm not
for a rule or a law that sasion a kid
can't have a smartphone. Yeah, I mean that's a decision
each parent. Sort of like violent video games. Some kids
with mental problems. Violent video games might not be good.
But I'm not for telling every American family that their
kids can't play these games. Someone should talk about the
games and whether they're good or bad, and maybe parents

(51:48):
can make better decisions. But some things just aren't the
progative of government.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Gosh, I love when you make those points. I could
not agree with you more. Senator Ran Paul, thank you
for the time you spell. There's the me today. Truly
appreciate your willingness to come on the fifty five here
see morning, sure and keep fighting that good fight on
behalf of all of us. Six thirty Friday theme song

I'm pretty confident of that, and you might run into
problems that we talk about all the time every Friday
here at this time with Dave Hatter. You need Interest
It Business Career says they're the best in the business.
Welcome back, Dave Hatter and thanks for the ominous subject
matter for this first topic.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Good to hear from you today.

Speaker 6 (52:34):
Yeah, always good to be here, Brian, and sorry to
be a bummer.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Well you're just speaking truth. It's not like you make
this stuff up, So no, I don't. Let's talk about
societal collapse related to another CrowdStrike like outage.

Speaker 6 (52:51):
Yeah, this CrowdStrike thing and as already sort of following
off the radar screen for most people. And I think
it's a really important topic on two front. First off,
it goes to show you how fragile our society is
because we depend so heavily on software and everything. Now,
I'm sure I've mentioned this before over the years. It's
a really great article called the Coming Software Apocalypse. It

(53:13):
was written by two MIT professors essentially talking about how
and this article's almost ten years old, everything has software
in it. Software is mostly crappy because the wrong incentives
drive the development of software. It's not focused on things
like resiliency and uptime and security. It's focused on things

(53:33):
like speed to market, marketcare, budgets, timelines, that sort of thing.
And you know, I know I've said this see before.
I spent about twenty five years as a software engineer,
I caused plenty of problems on my own, never because
that was my attention, because I'm a human being and
I make mistakes like everyone else or again, and you know,
incentives that did not drive a focus on quality. So

(53:55):
in fact, it's this article that really made me kind
of make the shift from a full timeocus on software
engineering to cybersecurity, because I'm concerned about how is society
going to thrive when you have software that's been around forever.
It started out crappy, it just gets more complex over time.

(54:15):
This software uses that software talks to another system d
NAPI anyway, you have this increasingly complex web of software.
And the premise of these two professors was, even when
that takes cyber attacks out of it, just based on
crappy software and software that does not focus on the
writing finons, you're going to have a major problem. And

(54:36):
crawd strike is the first indication of that. In my opinion,
it's the first huge outage like this where you've seen
millions of machines go down, whole industry disrupted. I don't
know if you've seen the headlines this week. Deltas is
they lost five hundred million dollars.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
Yeah, talk about that, Yes, and I mean think about.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
That five hundred million dollars. I mean, obviously most businesses
couldn't survival off like that. It's going to be interesting
to see what happens to crowd strike over time.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
But well, they're going to get a litigated out of
business if they have to pay off all the business
interruption claims that they are going to space, because Delta
has already said they're going to file a lawsuit against
them for that. I mean, I'm sure they're insurance and
carrier who's been tapped for a business interruption claim is
going to insist on it. Who caused the outage CrowdStrike,
Let's go after them, they're responsible for the damage.

Speaker 6 (55:21):
And another sort of tangential thing, imagine being an insurance
company in this situation and what this is going to
do to insurance the whole tech sector. But anyway, anyway,
my point is, so you have this essentially any virus
software operating at a very little level of computers. It
bricks nine million Windows machines, roughly causes outages across whole industries.

(55:43):
You know, hospitals had to reschedual patients all kinds of stuff.
That's nine million machines out of roughly a billion Windows machines. Now, again,
this has nothing to do with Microsoft. CrowdStrike is a
third party company, and I'm not going to really pick
it on CrowdStrike at this point. We can say that
for another day. My point is, you see the disruption
that a relatively small outage caused. Imagine if, for example,

(56:08):
a Chinese nation state hacker were able to get inside
the Microsoft network or were planted inside Microsoft as an
employee or something, and then purposely costing out ages like
this across all Windows based computers, all billion with down. Imagine,
imagine the chaos that we would still be dealing with
because you know, it took over a week to restore

(56:29):
most of these machines, and the restoration was relatively simple.
It was mostly just a matter of you've got to
go touch them. That was the real problem. Yeah, you
couldn't remote access into them. You had to physically touch
these devices to take them.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:44):
So bottom line is you see the potential disruption. That's
because now imagine a cashless society where there is no cash,
everything is digital, and you have a large outage like
this or a complete collapse of the whole network than what.
So there are many proponents I've learned recently, and I'm

(57:05):
going to try to get more engaged with some of
these organizations who are fighting against things like central bank
digital currency and cash for society. I've been concerned about
that whole concept for a long time for any number
of reasons. But when you look at this crowdstrikeing and
the potential impact that a significant outage could have on society,

(57:26):
and the fact that if you had no way to
do any sort of transaction with other people except through
digital systems, what would happen just in the crowd strikeoutage.
Where would we be now again, scale that up to
some sort of full scale outage, it'd be a major problem.
So yeah, I think this is a clear cut indicator

(57:49):
that our society is nowhere close to being ready for
any kind of fully cash for society. And again, we
need to wake up to this. We need to move
a lot slower on these things. I hate to say it,
We probably need legislation and people need to really think
about what it would mean to be fully cashless. I
understand the convenience of things like mid no, which I
don't use any of that stuff. By the way, it's

(58:10):
all a privacy dumpster fire, security fire. Frankly, as far
as I'm concerned, agree, But just just think about what
happened with crowds, right, dig into a little bit, folks
understand how much the impact was. Apparently just in the
Fortune five hundred companies, they estimate the loss that over
five point four billion because of the downtime. Again, imagine

(58:31):
a much wider outage the ability and no ability to
buy anything because it's all digital, and where would you be. So, Yeah,
we need to we need to push back against this.
We need to resist this sort of thing. We need
to wake people up to the fact that, you know,
maybe at some future point, when we reach the time
of Star Trek, we'll be in a position to support
some sort of fully cashless thing, but our systems are

(58:54):
so fragile there is just no way that that would
make sense for society at this point.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Yeah, totally against, totally against it as well. It really
worries me.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
All of our four toh one k's and retirement plans
are basically ones and zeros as well. Right now, it's pause,
will bring Dave Hatter back to talk about X ray
machine exposing privacy violations.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Add them to the list. First, Foreign Exchange, save money.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
That's what it's about. Foreign Exchange. You will get your
car fixed. It will leave with a full warntown parts
and service. When you go to the Westchester location of
Foreign Exchange where Austin and a crew of a SC
certified Master technicians will fix your car. They have access
to your manufacturers technical information regardless of which Asian or
European traditional manufacturer comes from. From the exotic to the
run of the mill. They literally do it all and

(59:37):
they charge you less than the dealer, and a significant
amount in many cases. So why give them money to
the dealer when you can keep it in your pocket.
That's the point. Go to Foreign Exchange Tyler's villelegs it
off of I seventy five, go east two streets hanging
right on Kinglin and.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
You are there.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Call them up five one three, six four four twenty
six twenty six. That's six four, four, twenty six, twenty six.
Online you'll find them at foreign xformlletter.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
X dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Fifty five KARC there was said.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Forty if if you've got KRCV talk station looking forward
to the top of the air news because after it
in studio, World War two veteran ninety years young Frank
Wetton Camp returns. We've had Franklin studio before. He is
one hell of a great guy in the meantime, one
hell of a great guy. Dave Hatter Moving over to
X ray machines, we've got a problem with those as well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
What's going on with this?

Speaker 11 (01:00:23):
Yeah, this is an interesting topic because this is something
that actually is potentially beneficial for us all. Brian, So
there's a ex Googler, a guy named Tim Liebert a
sending I'm pronouncing his name correctly, and he is concerned
about the ever eroding privacy situation that we all say
thanks to the surveillance.

Speaker 6 (01:00:44):
Surveillance capitalist model that drives all of these tech companies.
And just as a reminder for people, when you're using
products from Google or Meta Meta being alf the parent
company of Facebook, et cetera, they're not making this stuff
you because they like you, right, They're not giving it
to you for free, quote unquote because they just want

(01:01:06):
to be good folks out there. They are making enormous
amounts of money off your data. You are not the customer,
You are the product. They're monetizing your data. Now, as
I've said many times with you over the years, I'm
not saying that that is necessarily nefarious, but that's the
trade off you're making for most of the stuff that's
free or extremely low cost. And it's one of the

(01:01:27):
reasons why I will stick to the fact that Apple
generally tends to be more privacy and security friendly because
their whole business model is different. They're selling you physical
products and software. Now I'm not saying they're not collecting
your data. They are, but they're not in the business
of selling it at this point, Whereas what is Google

(01:01:47):
selling you, Well, in most cases nothing. You're using their
free email, you're using your free search engine, you're using
your free web browser, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Right, So,
just trying to set the stage for why this guy
is doing something useful here. So he worked at Google
for several years, he's got a PhD. He's done a
lot of research into privacy. Again, he's concerned about the

(01:02:08):
fact that our privacy continues to erode. Now your car
is buying on you, your refrigerator kind of gets back
the career segment. Everything has software in it, everything is
a computer, everything is potentially capturing data. And he realized that,
you know, this is potentially problematic because people don't understand
how much data is being collected. They don't understand where

(01:02:28):
it's going. They have no transparency or the ability into
where it's going or how it's being used, and they
don't understand how it's potentially being used in harmful ways.
I know we've talked before about data rubber companies that
are hoovering up all of this data. In many cases,
you know, the entry point being one of these tech giants,
and then building is incredibly elaborate and detailed dots gaze

(01:02:52):
about you, which then gets sold to other companies who
claim to be able to know that based on your data,
you might be a bad insurance risk, or you wouldn't
be a good employee or whatever. It's all kinds of
companies out there making this sort of stuff. So you
go to apply for the job and they run your
name through this algorithm and because of the data it's
been collected about you, munch of which could be wrong

(01:03:12):
by the way, they say, oh, well, you know you
wouldn't give it an employee, or again you wouldn't be
a good insurance risk or whatever you have, unlike a
credit score, or at least you can see this and
understand why someone might make a decision about you and
challenge things that might be incorrect. You know, you not
only can't see this stuff or challenge that, you don't

(01:03:33):
even know what's out there. So this guy set up
with it. He's got the right kind of knowledge and experience,
and he's built a tool called web x ray. And
the whole idea of this thing, which just recently launched,
is to make it possible for people to understand it
to two tier models, a free version anyone can use,
and then a premium model that people like attorneys and
researchers would say for to have access to this information.

(01:03:56):
And the idea would be you could go and do
a search on this and then see all of the
different places that are tracking you. And he points out
in this article and Wired that people are using things
like web md and they're searching for medical terms, and
that data might be going to thousands of different places.
So you might go search on some medical condition because

(01:04:17):
you saw one of these thousands of drug ads. Is
there anything on TV except pharma ads? At this point,
I don't even know. I mean I rarely watch TV.
When I do, it seems like it's just pharma ads.
So you see an app, you go to a search,
and now someone out there assumes that you might have
that condition. Think about that for a second. You might
have that condition. It gets sold to who knows who,

(01:04:38):
and people are making decisions about you that just because
you went and did a search. So he sees the
problem with that, as do I, by the way, and
has launched this tool. And I mean there's some great
quotes in here. Again the guy who worked at Google
for almost two years. But I loved this quote, you know,
based on his research and this tool he's built. This
is a quote from this guy, Tim Libert. I want

(01:05:00):
to be the Henny Forward of tech lawsuits. Turn this
into a factory assembly line. So it's pretty interesting what
he's built. And you know, I'm hoping that he gets
some traction with this thing and that people will start
to wake up and realize that you are not using
free tools. Everything you're doing is being tracked at an

(01:05:21):
unbelievable amount of detail and shared with potentially hundreds or
thousands of different places. Who are doing who knows what
with your data and making decisions about you that might
not be beneficial, and that the whole world will be
better off if we moved away from this surveillance capitalism
model to a model of you paid some nominal fee
for the services that you wanted to use and they

(01:05:42):
didn't sell your data. You know, eighteen states now have
some type of comprehensive quote unquote privacy law. I know
I've asked you my good friends in Ohio before, because
Kentucky actually beat Ohio to something useful, possibly for the
first time in the history of the United States. Kentucky
now has a comprehensive privacy law and Ohio still does not.

(01:06:03):
If you go to IATP, the International Association of Privacy Professionals,
they tracked us across the country. So you know, I
would encourage you to reach out to your legislators in
Ohio and push to get a comprehensive privacy law. There
is one work in its way through the system over there.
But this this web actually platform, I think has some

(01:06:23):
real potential to hopefully wake people up, change this model
and get us out of this crazy world where you're
continuously being tracked and who knows what's happening with the data?
You know, I'm willing to now. You know, people like
Proton have a platform with a variety of different privacy tools.
I use their email. They have a free version, but

(01:06:45):
I pay some nominalty, actually three bucks a month or
something because I want some of the additional capabilities. Three
bucks a month that's less than one bad coffee from
Starbucks to maintain some you know, shred of privacy and
support a company that's building tools designed for your privacy.

(01:07:05):
So I'm working on an article to help people figure out, oh, good, good,
how you can move forward in a more privacy friendly
way a little to no expense and start to choke
off the flow of data to these companies. But this
web x ray has potential. I encourage people to check
it out. The Wired article about this guy and its
tools pretty interesting, definitely a step in the right direction.

(01:07:26):
I consider this guy, you know, I'm a big fan
of what he's trying.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
To do wonderful. I look forward to reading your article
and it's done. Laws will bring data back or one
more segment about businesses experiencing email attacks. First though, how
about this for timing affordable imaging services? Speaking of extra
X ray machines. This is MRIs and CT scans, echo cartograms,
ultrasounds and the like, and you get them for a fraction,
a true literal fraction, and it's a small fraction what

(01:07:51):
the hospital imaging departments is to charge you. You don't
want to pay thirty five hundred dollars for an MRI.
How about four hundred and ninety five. If you add
a contrast, it's six hundred and forty five, and that's
the most expensive image. Affordable Imaging Services has a six
hundred and forty five dollars MRI with a contrast that
includes the cost of the radiologists report, which you and
your doctor will get within forty eight hours, modern equipment

(01:08:13):
to the same stuff the hospital uses. People know how
to work at Affordable Imaging Services, they've ad this for years,
and you will save heap loads of money. I know
your doctor said go to the hospital imaging department. You
don't have to do you have a choice. Go to
Affordable Imaging five to one three seven five three eight
thousand five one three seven five three eight thousand More
information online all the pricing Affordable Medimaging.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Dot com fifty five car the talk station paid for
by government.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Did you hear a secret hoard of nineteen oh four
twenty dollars six potifty two if you about KERCB talk station.
Well more are with tech Friday, Dave, how to brought
to you by Interest it interest dot Com. Okay, so
more businesses are experiencing email attacks. This is never going
to end, I guess until people get wise and figure
out they're constantly under attack.

Speaker 6 (01:08:58):
Dave, Yeah, Brian, so business email compromise. But this article
that's talking about sort of a generic catch all name
for various ones of attack and start via email. This
is the thing we see the most frequently. It's super
common and it's easy to do for several reasons. First off,

(01:09:20):
it's easy and inexpensive to send out hundreds of femails.
In fact, you know, it's entirely possible now to go
find resources online that you want to try for thirty
days spin something up, you know, at little to no
expense to you as a bad guy. So it's also
technologically easy because of the way that email and underlying

(01:09:43):
internetworks to create bogus emails. You know, we've talked about
this many times over the last ten years. It's sadly,
very easy to create a spoofed email that appears that
have come from somewhere it did not come from. It's
easy to create spoof content in the email, to copy
something and from a legitimate organization. And you know, so frankly,

(01:10:04):
if this is an easy thing for the criminals to do,
it's easy to try to social engineer you. You know,
you get the thing that says, oh, you're order didn't ship,
or here's an you made a payment and it's going
to be canceled or whatever. You know, they know the
right order flags to try to get people to move
quickly and not really think about what they're being asked
to do. But the real clincher for this is they

(01:10:26):
know that so many businesses and individuals just don't understand
this stuff and don't take the risks seriously and have
the same sinky password on all their accounts, you know, one, two, three, four,
five six A or something like that, right. I mean,
we see lists year after year from the giant data breaches.
So people make it easy for the bad guys. They

(01:10:47):
have bad passwords, they have easily guessed or easily crackable
passwords on their accounts. They don't use multi factor authentication.
The bad guys know this. They'll send a phishing email
where they'll just try use their name and password and
see if they can get in. Once they're in, they
can work around in there and try to figure out,

(01:11:08):
well who you doing business with. And one of the
most common things we see in this business email compromise
umbrella is I get in your email. I see who
you're communicating with on a regular basis. Maybe I find
some invoices. I see what your invoice looks like. I
see who you send invoices to. When the next invoice
cycle comes around, I send invoices that look exactly like

(01:11:30):
the real thing, but I've changed the payment information off.
So now your customers are sending payments. They believe they're
making legitimate payments. They're sending payments of money that you
are deserved, and it's going somewhere else. I have first
ten dolarge of a company in Cincinnati that lost nine
hundred and eighty three thousand dollars oh to this type

(01:11:53):
of attack because the bad guys were able to get
in send fraudulent invoices that looked real and portunately, customers
made payments to the wrong place. This happens constantly, Brian,
I just cannot stress enough how important it is to
secure your email system. People say, well, I got nothing
to higwall. Do you got sensitive employee information? You've got

(01:12:15):
sensitive customer information the most importantly. If you just go
research this just for a brief time, you'll find examples
where someone in a lawsuit and two attorneys are having
a conversation about a settlement. The bat that I see
this conversation, they create a mail flow rule in one
of the attorney's email systems that any emails coming to

(01:12:36):
that person are going to a folder that person doesn't
know about, and then they pretend to be that person.
In one case, a settlement of four hundred thousand dollars
would agreed to, and the bat I walk away to
the four hundred grand And this eventually is discovered because
the attorney on the other end is like, where are
we at of the settlement? And the companies like, what
do you we settled with you? Well, I know you did,

(01:12:58):
because went somewhere else. I know this sounds crazy to people,
but if I can get in your email or multiple
employees' email, I guarantee I'm eventually going to find something
that's going to lead me to stealing money from you.
And when you're dealing with people who have no opportunity
but a lot of time on their hands of internet access,
they will steal your money. I mean it's estimated that

(01:13:20):
you know, ten plus billion dollars were stolen. Actually think
twelve billion. The FBI has a stat on this. You
can check the Internet Crime Complaint Center. It's a phenomenal
amount of money that's being stolen using this type of tactic.
You've got to secure your email systems. And just to
wrap up here, you know SAVEN and ten organizations experienced attack.

(01:13:40):
Think about that. Seven Now that's just one study, but
seven and ten they weren't all successful according to these stats.
But I'm telling you this is a real thing. And
if you don't, if you don't just do the basic
stuff strong Menique pass on every account ideally as a
passer manager, turn on multi factor authentication. You're staying for
a SBFD mark and d KIM to try to cut

(01:14:00):
down the amount of spam.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
It's going to happen. Yes, Dave Hatter, we are out
of time. I thank you so much for coming on
the program every week to talk about these important issues
interest I dot com. Thanks for your folks for sponsoring
the segment. We'll talk next Friday. Have a great weekend, brother,
stay around. World War two veteran Frank wetting Camps coming
in the studio right after the news.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
History as it happens.

Speaker 4 (01:14:26):
Never before has an election mattered so much. Minutes away
at the top of the hour fifty five KRC the
talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
It's seven oh six, it is Friday, and.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
It's a special hour here on the fifty five KRC
Morning sh're returning in studio, thanks to our friend Andrew
Pappis for bringing them on in World War two veteran
and I've been misstating it all morning. I kept saying
ninety years young, and Frank Wedder walks in this tier,
I said, Frank wetting Camp walks into studio. I said, Frank,
have you had a birthday since you were last year?
And I said, are you still nineties ninety eight? In

(01:15:14):
two months? So ninety seven years young? Soon to me,
ninety eight years young, Frank wet and Cab. It's great
to have you back in studio, my friend, young and
spry as the day you entered World War two, or
even younger than that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
How I love to hear that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Oh yeah, well, listen, man, it's amazing up about walking
around and having fun and engaging and communicative, unlike our
current president. It's just a great thing to behold, my friend. Now,
what I want to do before we start, Before we
talk about your time in World War two, the events
that leading up to it, how you got in the service,
and your time you spent there, I want to move

(01:15:49):
back to your childhood, talk about, you know, what was
like growing up at that moment in history, because you know,
most people in my listening on you is probably have
no recollection of what life was like back then, and
you can contrast it to what it's like now, because
I want to get your observations on whether you think
things are better now or worse off. But let's rewind
back to your childhood. What was it like in your childhood?

(01:16:11):
You grow up with brothers and sisters? Were you a
working kid?

Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
What was like?

Speaker 2 (01:16:15):
I had fifteen siblings?

Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
Oh? Is that all?

Speaker 7 (01:16:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
That's all?

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
And I think I was born at a bad time
for the hole nation. Nineteen twenty six, you know, is
right before the big crash on the market. It's a
big before prohibition came in and that brought in the mafia. Yeah,
you know, so I went through you know to nineteen

(01:16:44):
thirty three, and what I found out looking back on
it is you can't take a product off of the
market that people want. If the people were going to drink.
A lot of people went to drink just because it
is prohiboting.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
I understand that rebellious nature. I with the dope, tell
your kid you can't have it. That's exactly what they want.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
That's right. We went when when we were young, we
would get up Saturday morning, nothing on TV. Nothing, there
was no TV, no radio.

Speaker 6 (01:17:22):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Uh, we did what we had to do by imagination, imaze.
We would imagine how to play with a ball, you know.
We we had what they called stick and ball play,
you know, a groomstick and a rubber ball. We would

(01:17:44):
we would uh go hiking, you know, we would find
out where a pear tree is or something like that
and go up and get pears. And you know, it
was everything was concocted in our brain to do something.
So we had a lot of imagination. We invented games

(01:18:08):
that to this day would be fun for the kids
to play. But they got something in their hand. Yeah,
that takes that away.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
It's like a drug, isn't it. Modern devices, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
It's a convenient thing to keep you from thinking.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
Yeah, and you know parking it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
In my childhood and we did have television, and of course,
you know, mom and dad would limit the amount of
television time we were allowed to have. You only had
four channels to choose from back then, of course, but
we had restrictions on you know, what we could watch.
We weren't allowed to watch certain shows because of the content.
We had a limited number of hours we could watch it.
But you know, if mom and dad wanted some time

(01:18:49):
and park put us down in front of the television,
said they knew we were going to be staring at
the screen, and that you know, could free up some
time for them. So it's an opioid. It's something to
let the kids, you know, in one spot where you
don't have to worry about them. And that's convenient for parents.
And so what do they do now They stick a
device in front of it in their hand and like, okay, hey,

(01:19:10):
Johnny's in the basement playing on the computer. I'm good
now I don't have to worry about him. I don't
know if word about anything happened to him because he's
stuck in the house. I bet your parents didn't think
about you being out and about picking pears or playing
stickball in the street, that you would be home for
dinner time when you were told to be home.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Well, I'll give you a little story. Yeah, I went
to We lived out in the country. We took a
bus to go to school. My sister June, who was
four years older, always made sure that I got on
the bus. Okay, help me close everything kindergarten. So we

(01:19:46):
June and I get on the bus and go to school.
We come back, the house is empty. They moved, and
they would bother telling you we were in an empty house.
And the blessing of a guy across the street, mister
Ross was worked at nighttime on the railroad and he

(01:20:09):
was able to pick us up and take us into
Cincinnati at Coryville where the family moved.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Did they ever explain to you why they left and
didn't know?

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
No? Never, never.

Speaker 10 (01:20:23):
I now listen, Yes, i'm protected services today I'm gonna
tell you the truth. This is a little rough, but
as an eight year old I was telling the boy
the gentleman down there shining shoes. That I shine shoes
at eight years old in the bars, okay, And I
could get in the bars. My dad was a professional fighter,

(01:20:47):
and all the bouncers knew him, so they'd say, you
Shardy's boy got the bar.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Okay. I roam the streets with my two other brothers. Okay.
I was eight years old, one was seven years old,
one was six years old. We were the three Musketeers.
We'd go down and sleep on the Ohio River overnight

(01:21:13):
because we didn't want to go home. There was nothing
to do anyway, So this you know, during vacation.

Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:23):
And and it was we would hitchhike thirteen miles away
to go swimming. We'd go to Coney Island and go
around the fence on the Ohio River and you get
into the picnic area. We roamed the streets by ourselves,
and we never had any problem.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Never had I was you know that was going to
be never follow up question?

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
Well, you couldn't bet, you couldn't be left off. You
had to tell them where you were going today, of course, absolutely,
and in.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Any kid today, and I would find question with the
parentaling skills of a kid today effect that kid came
up to me or my kid, I'm going to go
sleep on the bank of the Ohio River tonight. I'll
see you tomorrow. No about No, that didn't happen though,
So No. So the idea of having concern for your
well being, your welfare, I guess I'm kind of curious

(01:22:18):
looking back and reflecting on it. Is it because you
believe your mom and dad didn't really care a wit?
Or was it because society was such a different place
that they didn't have to have a concern about your
well being?

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
I think there wasn't. There wasn't a fear of you
have today. You don't let a kid go out on
the street today. You know, there was a fear there
for some reason. There was little gangs. We never had that,
you know, right, never thought of somebody cutting me with

(01:22:51):
a knife or having a gun.

Speaker 6 (01:22:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
Yeah, we roamed all over I mean literally, you know.
We would go into Kentucky and go swimming, and then
we would hop a truck or a car or a
street car to get back home. One time the cops
from Ludlow brought us home because we were riding on
the back of a truck.

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
You know. So we went home, you know, and we
would tell my sister, don't tell dad that the police
brought us as soon as they had gotten his door.
It was, you know what, Frankie and ear Old Elmer.
You know, yeah, the snitch of the family.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
That is not surprising, and that has not changed over
the years. It's we're going to continue with frank It
just sounds like, if I can use the word idyllic,
it sounds like an idyllic childhood.

Speaker 6 (01:23:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
Yeah, Well to us, I don't think if we gave
it any we'd never compared our show.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
You had no base of comparison. You were eight, This
is what the life was that you were leading, right, Yeah,
that's the great thing about it, because if you know,
if we went into a great depression right now, we
think about all that we have and all that we
take for granted, and that's taken away from you, then
you're like, oh my god, the world's come to an end.
Look what you used to have, all this and it's gone.

(01:24:13):
If you never had it in the first place, then
you make do with what you got, and you don't.
You're not envious or greedy as much. I think let's pause,
we'll bring Frank Wetton Camp back. This is going to
be a great conversation and we will get to his
time of his service in World War Two. I will
point out starting though, I want to mention twenty two

crew that know everything there is to know about the inventory.
They sell lots and lots and lots of handguns, long guns, ammunition, accessories,

Where'd you go to high school?

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
I went to Woodward Woodward worteens in uh Broadway.

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
What year did you graduate? H?

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
Forty four?

Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Forty four?

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
Do you enlist right out of high school?

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Right? I had to wait until I graduated. I was
supposed to go to Marquette University to become a Navy pilot,
and that fell through, so I ended up going to
Great Lakes. They had enough pilots.

Speaker 3 (01:27:29):
Okay, so did you enlist?

Speaker 6 (01:27:31):
Were you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
Okay, well my mom had to sign, so.

Speaker 7 (01:27:35):
You were you?

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
Weren't you weren't eighteen yet?

Speaker 6 (01:27:37):
There?

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Yeah, I was tried.

Speaker 13 (01:27:39):
Yeah, seventeen seventeen, seventeen years old, so uh yeah, so
I want I went there, and uh, my childhood, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
Did something with me that I found out with one
hundred and forty nine other guys in the barracks that
I was the only guy that was a man. I
was growing up already. Most of these guys guys would cry,
they would come and talk to me, and you know,

(01:28:15):
and it was pitiful. You know. All of a sudden,
I was made sergeant.

Speaker 3 (01:28:24):
So you were like a father figure there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Yeah. I was a father to a lot of them.
I marched them, I took them to breakfast. You know,
I'm only seventeen years old. But these they these kids kids, yeah,
you know, and and of course I got the benefit

(01:28:48):
when I was about eleven years old. Of two guys
had taken me under their wing. One was a missionary
from Britain, Captain Hall. He started Camp Joy in nineteen
thirty seven after the flood. Okay, so he just took
me under his wing. He saw something in me that

(01:29:10):
I didn't see and he says, I want you to
start reading books, you know, and we're going to talk
about him and you know, and it was just like
he had a son and we leve next door, so
it was real convenient. He would call me, he says,
come on, I'm going someplace, and you know, we become

(01:29:30):
good friends, you know. And then a guy that became
bishop in Episcopaian Church, Brooklyn mostly also did the same thing.
He took me to his home in Philadelphia for three
months when he was going to be ordained preach a preach. Yeah,

(01:29:54):
and these guys made me what I am to.

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
That's amazing, now, do you think, And giving your circumstances
growing up, you know, I mean the idea that your
parents move and didn't even bother telling you about it,
sounds like a kind of an interesting family relationship. Do
you think they had sympathy or compassion for you or
do you think that they saw something in you that
was worthy of development?

Speaker 6 (01:30:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
Yeah, he told me that, Uh, don't waste your brain.
It was they always told me.

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
So you inspired them to get them committed to helping you.
That's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
Yeah, I mean they they they made me who I am?

Speaker 1 (01:30:40):
Well, the power of mentors. Yes, isn't it amazing? Just
getting choked up over the whole thing. I certainly understand that.

Frank. Anyway, the stories do not stop.

Speaker 1 (01:33:37):
They continue when the microphone's off, and so I have
to ask Frank to tell a story again. So here's Frank.
He's seventeen years young and he joins the military. They
obviously see him as a leader of people. He is
the consultant for his various enlist ees. They rely on Frank.
They see guidance and wisdom from the seventeen year old
man that Frank was when he entered the military. Unlike

(01:33:59):
the children and he entered with I mean, I'm sure
they all came out men after boot camp, right, that's
what the idea of boot camp.

Speaker 3 (01:34:05):
No, they didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
Huh no, you're sticking your head. No, I was drawing
an assumption.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
I thought that's what they did.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
They made men they were supposed to, supposed to.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
Yeah, you know some of them they had sent back home.
They wouldn't stop crying. Really really, some guys couldn't march
had just send you know how I couldn't he.

Speaker 1 (01:34:26):
You know, I worry about today's military, with the kids
these days, who were you know, either morbidly obese or
have don't have a fighting spirit. I thought everybody it
was alive back then, was motivated and brave and fighting.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
And well, of course we were at war, right, and
you know there was peer pressure there. You when you
were seventeen, you you had.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
To be your buddy's signed you're going to sign up?

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Yeah, of course that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
And then it's totally Cole wanted to get myself into.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Yeah it happened.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Well, the men that you enlisted with of varying degrees
of I don't know, preparedness, but the leaders there, like
your platoon leader whoever gave the commands obviously saw something
in you because you were giving orders to do the
drill work and to do the marching and lead the marching.

(01:35:17):
Uh of your of your fellow enlist ees. Correct, you're
in charge.

Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
I'm in charge.

Speaker 3 (01:35:23):
Well tell my listeners about how you would do drills.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Well, we danced the music. We didn't we didn't march,
we didn't do want to, want too, want to? We
we danced this is yeah, sure, And we sent them,
we sent them in different directions and you know, and
get them mixed up and everything else. But we were
having a ball, you know. So Captain Bond, who you know,

(01:35:49):
saw it, told Hoppy, who was by guy that run
the barrier the drill drill Uh, you know that he
never enjoyed so much.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
So he didn't get dressed down for it. That praised that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
I'm gonna tell you something, all through my every everything
that I did in the service, it's it was like, well,
I don't know what we're going to do, but call Frank,
you know, Frank will do it. Or something I got.
I got I was supposed to get discharged. When the
bomb dropped. I'm in the Philippines. They kept me for

(01:36:30):
nine more months. I was cleaning up a bunch of
junk that. Uh, well, I recall the story MacArthur starting right, Well,
MacArthur started something. There's a movie about this, it's called
the Great Grand Raid, where he saved five hundred prisoners

(01:36:52):
in Manila from being slaughtered. Because what the Japs did
when they thought they were going to lose it the island,
they killed all the American prisoners before they left. They
did that. All that was never advertised or anything, but
they did that. We knew he'd do it, see, so

(01:37:13):
he was afraid these five hundred that he left there
when he left the Philippines, okay, and then went to Austria, Australia.
You know that he wanted to save them, right, So
before he went on to lady Okay, he got together

(01:37:34):
with the the.

Speaker 6 (01:37:39):
Uh what do you call.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
And the.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
Gorillas all the fighter the gorilla fighters, Yeah, the gorilla
last time you were here, the Gula.

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
Fighters Okay, and made a deal with them, okay, that
if they would help save these guys, he would never
bother the communist guerrillas.

Speaker 1 (01:38:03):
So he gets the gorilla the communist girl is to
help him celebrate the five hundred guys, right, and he
takes off and goes to Australia.

Speaker 2 (01:38:10):
Well he's he stayed. There's seventy seven islands in the Philippine, right,
so he made sure all of them were conquered.

Speaker 1 (01:38:19):
Okay, Yeah, but he left the communist grilla is to have.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
Al alone, promise to leave him alone.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
Okay. So they were still there when you were there.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
When I and they kept me over nine months with
twenty two prisoners.

Speaker 1 (01:38:34):
And if I recall correctly, the last time you were here,
you said that the communist guerrillas did not get along
with the local officials though. No, so you had basically well,
it's like a gorilla war.

Speaker 2 (01:38:47):
Yeah, So Marco became president and his wife was a
mild lady. Yeah, the shoe lady, shoe lady. Right. You know,
he was a big crook, and they knew it. See,
they knew he was a big crick but he had
been a warrior, yeah, during.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
The war, So they leave him in charge. The communist
girllas are in the man. Did you ever have to
liaise between the two. Did you ever interact with the
communist girrill as yourself?

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
I didn't get to just see the leader. They were
called the Hucks. But because his name was Huckablah. Okay,
But I got to meet the boys at the black
market place, which was run by the admiral.

Speaker 1 (01:39:41):
The black market was run by the admiral. Frank was
tasked with destroying munitions. That's why he had the prisoners
there and their job all the extra munitions. He was
actually trying to not let the conditions fall into the
hands of the community.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
We jumped all the ammunitions so nobody could claim it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
Right now, do we just leave the stuff there when
we departed theater? Comment? Actually, what we did was they
dumped it into the ocean. Yeah that's the truth.

Well in the Navy, you know, you didn't know who
you shot or you know, because you're on a boat,
because you're on sure on you know. And I was
a gunners mate, you know, you know, shot a lot
of guns, but you know you're shooting at somebody miles
away and things like that. But what happened is one

(01:43:00):
of these things with Frank, you know, see get Frank
to do it, you know. Uh. I was called up
with my ordnance guy. We were laying the two on
Guam to pick up a escort before we went into

the beach. Another snaffo, and nobody tried it through the sand.
It bogged down the sand. It was ninety millimeter gun,

jeep and I went up to where MacArthur came in
four times so and to get a good shot.

But so.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
From there the war ended. Truman dropped a bomb, you know,

We jumped ammunitions. We kept the communists from there was
a village of seventeen huts on the shore, Okay, and well,
I became a good friend of the mayor and the
people in there. I gave them generators and they had
electric lights. I gave them car beans. I should have

(01:45:42):
got court marshals. I gave them car beans, and I
gave them TNT to blow up the fish and you know,
and fishing with dynamite. Yeah, sure, yeah, you know it
wouldn't kill them. It was just you know, it was
like a grunion run, you know, big of little fish
about this big. So Nina Sal's wife made me an

(01:46:06):
omelet one morning. You know, she left the fish in it.
I couldn't eat it. She got mad at me, you know,
so she brought it back with the heads off. But
I still had to. I said the hell with it,
and I ate the fish with the tail and the
guts and everything else because Sal was doing it. One
in Rome, one in Rome, right, so you know, And

(01:46:29):
they built me a boat. I had a I'm nineteen
and a half by now, so I had a ball.

Speaker 6 (01:46:38):
You know that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:39):
Part of your only prom.

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
I had was these guys were crazy. He's twenty two.
Half of them. They were taking hand garnages and out
of the thing after we were going and dropping them
individually in the water to see it come up. And
I just stopped that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:55):
That makes perfect sense to me.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
See now I can see my nineteen or twenty year
old whatever self doing exactly that. They don't need this stuff.
We're supposed to get rid of them.

Speaker 3 (01:47:06):
Pull them a pin.

Speaker 1 (01:47:07):
Let's drop a little one more with Fred Weddingcamp. When
we return, we'll wrap things up. What a wonderful, wonderful
experience this is being able to talk with you, sir.
I'm so happy you're in studio. But let me mention
USA Insulation, though it's the greatest product around, if you
haven't ever called USA insulation you have an older home,

(01:47:27):
at least call to find out if you have adequate
insulation in the exterior walls of your home, because you
may not. My daughter's home, late seventies buildings I've been
pointing out.

Speaker 3 (01:47:35):
Had R twelve in it. That's all it was.

Speaker 1 (01:47:37):
And over the time the decades since the home is built,
that R twelve it ain't our twelve anymore. It's something
much less than that because it does deteriorat and it
loses its insulative qualities. The phone can go in with
old insulation that will truly benefit your home comfort wise.
You'll notice the improvement day one, and then of course
when the energy bill comes you'll see savings. And that
savings is guaranteed from the USA Insulation. Right now, USA

for the foam in the exterior walls. Starts with a
free quote, so call them up and then you get

forget you get an energy tax credit of twelve hundred dollars.

It's seven to fifty a tik about Kercity Talk Station.
Can we add another hour to the show because I'm
not done talking with Frank Frank Wett and Camp in studio,
World War two veteran again ninety seven years. You know,
I'm seeing to be ninety eight sharp as a Razorblady is.
We're gonna find out. I tell you what, Frank, and
it's last segment here you are you reflect back on
this really amazing childhood and what you were able to

(01:49:45):
do and survive and how you learn so much and
became a man before you even enter the service of
your country. Obviously served in World War Two honorably you've
seen the rest of your life as you reflect back,
what what do you see in our country now? Are
you proud of it? Are you worried about it? The
direction we are going to, where we have landed since

(01:50:07):
you were a young person. I just I'm just kind
of interested in getting your perspective of America, the country
and the people today versus you know then, or what
you would hope it to be.

Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
You know, it's a shame that you can't leave your
kids go out on the street and play. You know,
you got to be worried what they're doing, who's around.
It's become a scary thing. The kids are being guided technically,

(01:50:42):
the technology it guides them in what to do and
what to say.

Speaker 3 (01:50:47):
Can I use the term brainwash?

Speaker 6 (01:50:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:50:49):
Almost almost my family when under my rules, and they
laughed about it, but I knew that at the end,

(01:51:09):
they're the best you can get.

Speaker 6 (01:51:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:14):
I love all of my family, and I'll take credit
for making them do things they didn't like to do,
but it made them men and women. I don't want
to get too emotional about it, but it's a shame

(01:51:35):
that the kids can't be kids. Just use your imagine,
you know. Yeah, I go buy a little thing called
us Thrower. Give me the serenity to understand that I
cannot change things, but give me the courage to change

(01:52:03):
the things I can, and give me the wisdom to
know the difference between the two of them and you.
And you know, it made me realize that if you're
at rock bottom and come out of it, you'll never
be afraid because you've been there and you survived and

(01:52:27):
you did it, and now you've got a life that
you really love. And I think it's just because I
would try anything. Doubt will kill you if you let
it go to your mind to be doubtful about trying something.

(01:52:48):
Try whatever you can. The only thing you will get
out of it is an experience that will help you.
You know. It's there's just little things like that that
should be taught.

Speaker 6 (01:53:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:53:06):
I took ABNOP. I took psychology in college, okay, And
the guy says I used more common sense by being
who I was than anybody he ever had in a class.

(01:53:30):
And it was just from experience. Growing up by myself,
had no guidance except for these two guys that took
me under their wing and taught me how to use
my brain.

Speaker 1 (01:53:47):
Absolutely beautiful words and listen, There's nothing else I can
say on the heels of that. God bless you, Frank Weddingcamp.
It's just a beautiful thing having you here, that you
are here to share your wisdom, your knowledge and experience
and pasths along what remarkable guidance.

Speaker 3 (01:54:02):
What more can I say? Frank?

Speaker 1 (01:54:04):
You know you were always welcome here. I'll look forward
to seeing you again real soon. Best of health and
an early happy birthday too, two months away. Oh it's
it's just it's a delight, man, it really is. And
right now my listeners are smiling and maybe even joining
you with a little tear of a joy there with
those wonderful words of wisdom. I'll look forward to having
you back on again. Thank you Andrew Pappus for bringing

(01:54:25):
him in. Man, it's really fantastic of you. Hey man,
it's my pleasure. It's always a joy. Well, we're going
to continue our service to the country. Patriots Landings on next,

back to the Morning show Man. It's always good talking
with you.

Speaker 6 (01:55:47):
Brian.

Speaker 14 (01:55:47):
Good Friday morning, my friend.

Speaker 4 (01:55:49):
Yeah, bless you.

Speaker 14 (01:55:50):
How are you, sir?

Speaker 3 (01:55:50):
I'm doing well.

Speaker 1 (01:55:51):
I understand your mobile right now here to bust somewhere,
so well, you know.

Speaker 14 (01:55:58):
Things that's just been going so well, sir. We've talked,
you know, over the last couple of years about Patriots
Landing and our mission and our uh oh joe, you
know Burnett both ends dropped my son off at a
golf tournament this morning at six forty and then ran
to the farm and picked up a trailer.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
And then.

Speaker 14 (01:56:21):
We've had been blessed with a tremendous opportunity with a
buddy of mine up in northern Kentucky to make a
product out of it's actually one inch hdpe plastic. It's
a long story short. I've got a twenty short trailer
attached to the Patriots Landing truck and I'll be heading
up north through northern Cincinnatia by top Golf and picking

(01:56:45):
up a bunch of material this morning.

Speaker 3 (01:56:47):
So what are you going to be making out of that?
What are you making out of that?

Speaker 14 (01:56:51):
So they're called cable blocks. So a very dear friend
up in northern Kentucky owns a business. We go to
church together, coach to his son and his daughter and
archery and they run. They run very simply. They run
these bus systems through these gigantic warehouses that they're just

(01:57:12):
building everywhere, the Amazons, the Facebook, the data centers. They
can't build them fasten up Brian because of all this
information that everybody needs to collect. Well, they basically make
a maybe twelve inch tall by twenty inch wide piece
of one inch thick black plastic. And now that we
have a CNC machine, which I think I shared with
you on our last conversation, we're able to see and

(01:57:34):
see these parts out and then you basically cut the holes.
You split the holes in half, and there's four or
five pieces and they stack them and then they run
cables room, and then they stack them and they run
cables room and any of these systems that you ever
Have you ever seen Jurassic Park the movie Brian, Yeah,
might recall there's when the young lady is trying to

(01:57:57):
find the master switch to turn the switchback on to
get the power the guys over there, look up top.
You see all those cables running through there. You know,
to follow the cables.

Speaker 6 (01:58:04):
That's what I always like in it too.

Speaker 14 (01:58:06):
But they have to run one of these blocks when
they go vertically every one foot, and when they go
hoarzon only every three feet. So he makes thousands and
thousands of these blocks every year. And he always told me,
I mean, he loved what we were doing. This is
pre our building. This is pre everything says if you
ever get the facility, Joe, and you get the ability
to make these things, he says, I will throw you

(01:58:27):
business to help support your organization. So it's started about Oh,
it's amazing. It's about three months ago, and you know,
one of the things that I'm most proud of with
our organization is that we are very unique as a
five oh one cet tree is that we're self supportive.
So people buy a flag, if by a fly case,
by a nine flag, I buy a T shirt. That
is how we support ourselves. So having this opportunity for

(01:58:52):
really our first kind of if nobody buys a T
shirt this week or across you know, we have a
steady rest.

Speaker 1 (01:59:00):
That's just so you've turned into it's like a manufacturing
operation making these for him. You've earned a profit, and
that of course funds your organization. I was a little
written or missing my obligations to the listeners to remind
those who might not be familiar with Patriots Landing this
is a place where veterans get together. They create what
they call products with a purpose, which include the flag

(01:59:23):
cases burial flag cases, which are the only ones that
are sold at Arlington National seminary. It's kind of our cemetery.
It's kind one of the reasons that Joe started all this.
First of all, it was in memory of his father,
who served his country proudly as a marine between eineteen
fifty six and fifty nine, and he wanted to make
his father proud for what he did, so he started
this organization to help other veterans. So what they do

(01:59:43):
is the veterans come in, they enjoy the camaraderie that
they no longer have because they're no longer active military service.
They're hanging out with military buddies, sharing their you know,
their concerns and you know, their their issues, and so
it gives them a comfortable environment. And they manufacture these
wood products, including some of the the ones you mentioned
the cases, the Patriot Cross, which I've got one of those.
It's a beautiful Christian cross and with the American flag

(02:00:06):
sort of depicted on it, the nine which is a
full American flag, and the nine part comes from nine
millimeter casings which served as the stars on it. But
you've recently expanded the shop too, haven't you, Joe.

Speaker 14 (02:00:21):
Yes, sir, yeah, we've you know, the things that we
discussed as a board of directors that we might be
able to budget, you know, for our three year budget
literally happened within probably fifteen months of us opening. And
that's just you know, We've been boots on the ground
for fifteen years, Brian. You know, I've gone to so

(02:00:44):
many different veterans, small veters, organizations, supporting them, meeting people,
talking to folks like you regularly has just you know,
the snowball is rolling downhill now, so.

Speaker 6 (02:00:56):
It love it.

Speaker 14 (02:00:57):
It's just been amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:00:59):
I listen mans the reward that I truly get the
best reward of being on the morning show. I love
talking with people, I love talking politics, but supporting an
organization like you and elevating it to people's attention because
so many people out there want to help.

Speaker 3 (02:01:14):
And if you don't know about an organization.

Speaker 1 (02:01:15):
Like yours it's doing all this great stuff for the
American veteran, then nobody's going to know about it. Once
they hear about it, it's like, oh, how can I help?
I want one of those nine flags. I want a
Patriot cross, I want a memorial flagcase, or I want
to join the Got Your Sixth program, which I'm going
to encourage my listeners to do, go to Patriots Landing
dot org, click on the got your six button six
bucks a month, which you'll spend more in Starbucks in

(02:01:36):
five minutes. You're going to help out this organization and
the bottom line for them, And it's such a cool thing.
It's because we all know veterans and some of them
struggle and have issues and concerns and needs, and this
gives them a comfortable environment where they can make things,
enjoy each other's camaraderie and you know, get a sense
of belonging and being in the world.

Speaker 14 (02:01:54):
Right Joe hey man, brother, I mean, I'm going to
hire you. You know what you've you know, encapsulated in
the last you know, one hundred and twenty seconds. There
is the essence of what we do.

Speaker 3 (02:02:07):
So I'm very grateful for that. Oh do it because
you're inspiring. I mean, this is the thing.

Speaker 1 (02:02:15):
You had an idea, and look what happened in no time.
You've expanded. You're going concern five o' one c three.
All the money's going to help the veterans and the
causes in your shop. It's just there's nothing, there is
no downside to any of this. God bless you for
the inspiration. Man, it's it'll keep me going for another day,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (02:02:32):
Joe, Well, you've talked to me enough.

Speaker 14 (02:02:34):
You know I might not be the sharpest tool in
the shed. It just this was not written down, Brian.
It was in my heart, as you know, because of
my dad. And I don't know if you're aware or
that we've shared. I can't recall if we talked that
we lost dad in November and uh suddenly and then

(02:02:55):
uh yeah it was that's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (02:02:57):
And then mom.

Speaker 6 (02:02:58):
Mom was the one that was ill.

Speaker 14 (02:03:00):
So I lost both parents in five months. But it's
it's it's a it's a homely world now for me
and not having a parent here. And you know, my dad, gosh,
he would just gleam in his eyes every time we
talked about it or it got down here we did
anything with regards to that is all the motivation I
need to you know, I'm as as committed as motivated.

(02:03:23):
It could couldn't be more motivated. And you're right, so
the fact that you know, can somebody send us twenty
dollars like they would to a normal charity, Sure they can't,
but I'd rather have them, you know, spend thirty dollars
on a T shirt or you know, forty dollars on
a Patriot Cross, or purchase one of our items that

(02:03:45):
they now have a keepsake or a gift, you know,
for a loved one. You know, I promise you you
give a veteran or a patriot one of our products
that's signed by the veteran on the back. Yeah, it's meaningful.
It's not going to a big box store and getting them,
you know whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:04:04):
No, I'm with you all day long.

Speaker 1 (02:04:06):
And I tell you what, there's rarely a day that
goes by that I don't see my Patriotcross because it's
out on my screen and porch where I pretty much
live my entire life. So yeah, it is a great thing.
You make a great point with that, and you invite
people to visit the shop too. This isn't you know,
just order online if you want to go see this
all unfold and how it works before your very eyes.

(02:04:28):
You welcome people to come visit.

Speaker 14 (02:04:29):
You one hundred percent. And actually, in about forty five minutes,
I'm going to have a bus full of I think
forty eight. We say it's seventy four year old women
and they drag their husbands along. But they're coming in
from my belief northern Pennsylvania and they'll pull up. They're

(02:04:49):
probably going to go to the ARC afterwards, but they'll
come in for about an hour.

Speaker 6 (02:04:52):
Brian.

Speaker 14 (02:04:54):
And that generation is you know, very very very well,
and just even speaking about the World War TI, your
era and that here this morning, you know, they are
exceptionally They love God and they love country. And we'll
we'll give them a tour, we'll explain the story, we'll
kind of share what you the synopsis you gave about

(02:05:14):
our burial flagcases in Arlington and helping the veterans. And
then they'll run around back in the shop and then
they'll come up front and they'll support the heck out
of us. They buy lots of products and then they
go back to Pennsylvania and tell everybody about us. So
our group tours, we have churches, we have buses, we
have a matter of fact, I just was contacted by

(02:05:35):
I think they're called baird Den bair Den. It's like
right before cub Scouts nowadays, there's something I know. Bairdan
out of Fort Mitchell wants to come down in two
Sundays and they want to do is a little thing
on flag etiquit and all that. So we'll be down
here in a Sunday for an hour and a half
with a bunch of third graders and I'll tell you what, buddy,
sleep good at night. It's just such a blessing to

(02:05:58):
you know, you know, from from third grade, the seventy
five year old ladies that.

Speaker 1 (02:06:03):
Come down from on their bus tours.

Speaker 14 (02:06:05):
It's it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (02:06:06):
Well, that's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (02:06:07):
And maybe you inspired some organization that's hearing me right
now to get a busload of folks that come down
and busy. It's in Williams time, Kentucky. I have it
right at three point thirty Ibeck Lane.

Speaker 3 (02:06:17):
Yes, sir, E I B E C. K.

Speaker 6 (02:06:19):
Joe.

Speaker 3 (02:06:19):
Put the link up to.

Speaker 1 (02:06:20):
Your website on my blog page if you've got carecy
dot com, so people can go right to it and
get involved. So and you welcome veterans to join in
the fun too, right.

Speaker 14 (02:06:28):
We we always always always have our you know, ear
to the ground for any any veteran. You know, we
have civilians that volunteer as well that do various projects
around the shop. Our veterans all you know, of course
make the products but we've got veterans as young as

(02:06:48):
twenty six. We've got a Coast Guard veteran it's about
twenty six or seven. And I've got an Air Force
veteran that comes down.

Speaker 6 (02:06:55):
Once a week.

Speaker 7 (02:06:56):
It's eighty eight.

Speaker 3 (02:06:57):
That's all.

Speaker 6 (02:06:59):
Is wild Bill.

Speaker 14 (02:07:00):
It's just nickname we all have. They all have their
you know names. Wild Bill will outwork every.

Speaker 6 (02:07:06):
Single one of us.

Speaker 1 (02:07:07):
That does not shock me. Listen, I had Frank Welomcamp,
the veteran. He was ninety seven years old, and I'm
telling you, if he was in your shop, he probably
outworked the twenty eight year olds too. Anyway, That's that's
just awesome. And you know, and they get that.

Speaker 3 (02:07:20):
Let me tell you, let me tell you real quick.

Speaker 14 (02:07:22):
I want to you mentioned the nine flags, and we
just we've been making a prototype and I've got the
first one literally sitting in the back of my truck.
But for a lot of years now, there's been organizations
in the VA has recognized, you know, twenty two suicides
a day is kind of the number unfortunately that that

(02:07:45):
floats around. It goes up and down, obviously, but twenty
two a day is kind of the number that's associating
with the better suicide So we are making and we'll
have online hopefully within the next couple of weeks. We're
calling it the twenty two is a smaller flag. We
are using the the twenty two caliber shell casings and

(02:08:06):
it's going to be a suicide awareness type. I think
people are really going to gravitate too because it's a
one off, unique, it fits anywhere. It's a smaller flag,
and so I wanted to share that with you for
folks that can go to our website here in a
couple of weeks, and that's going to be a real, real,

(02:08:28):
real powerful and special products product for our guys to make.

Speaker 1 (02:08:32):
That's absolutely wonderful. I'm glad you're doing that, and I
wish to God that you didn't have a reason to
have to do that, Joe, But you know there you
are well and real quick. We're out of time. But
I just want to mention I see that with the
expansion of the products for the purpose program you got,
you're going to be doing furniture at some point.

Speaker 6 (02:08:49):
We do.

Speaker 14 (02:08:50):
We do so we do take on custom products like
the dav headquarters. We made seven custom live edge black
walnut tables. We have made kitchen tables and stuff in
the past.

Speaker 6 (02:09:05):
It is.

Speaker 14 (02:09:05):
It is because of the way our shop is set up, Brian.
We love doing product projects like that. They just can't
have their.

Speaker 3 (02:09:13):
Hair on fire. You know, wait for it. It's costing, Bill, Yeah,
you gotta have.

Frank Wettingcamp on the heels of Gloom and Doom from
Tech Friday's Dave Hatter talking about collapse with society if

(02:12:07):
there's another CrowdStrike like outage, and then we get to
segue to Frank wetting Camp, World War two veteran. He's
an inspiration. If you don't do anything today and you

segment with his inspirational and very emotional words about his
observations about you know, the right way to live and
the wrong way to live anyhow. And then we get

the American veteran what Joe's doing for them. And you
can help out that organization and the American veterans and
also get inspired at a fifty five cars dot com
and check out the Patriots Landing website. And now I
get to pivot over to get twice a year, right,
this is twice a year. It is like two of
my favorite times a year. It is time for the
taste of loving and it's the Mediterranean Food Festival. And

(02:12:50):
regular listeners know how much I wax poetic about Middle
Eastern food. I just absolutely love it, kibbi and the
grape leaves, the stuff, grape leaves, Lebanese rice. To excuse
me to bully peed of bread. It's all going to
be there at the taste of leban and kim. It
is wonderful to see you in my studio, and thank
you for bringing the treasures that you brought, including the

(02:13:10):
kibbi I have on my fingers right here.

Speaker 9 (02:13:13):
Always my pleasure. But I know that's just a fake
piece since you're not allowed to eat in the studio.

Speaker 1 (02:13:18):
Yeah, let's see if I can manage to talk while
my mouth is full. I am out loud, violating the rules.
This morning, I am eating kibbi and grape leaves.

Speaker 2 (02:13:26):
Ha.

Speaker 1 (02:13:27):
I'm blessed to get it in advance. You just have
to wait till Sunday. We'll get the details on that first.
But let's remind my listeners because you and I were
having a conversation about the Saint Anthea Patawa Maronite Catholic Church,
which is the sponsor of this event. Correct, and it
is a congregation that has a variety of Middle Eastern
uh you know, descendants or Middle Eastern people, yes, correct, indeed,

(02:13:50):
including Lebanese, but also.

Speaker 9 (02:13:53):
Greek, Egyptian, Moroccan, Jordanian, Palestinian. Uh, it just covers the
Middle East. And since Arabic is the language, they're Catholic,
and they're like, oh wow, a maronit Divine Liturgy Arabic
my native language, and it's wonderful. On Sunday mornings at

(02:14:14):
ten thirty, the Divine Liturgy, which is the Holy Mass,
is both Arabic and English, and then Friday night Arabic only.
Saturday afternoon evening English only.

Speaker 3 (02:14:29):
Okay, so you get your choice.

Speaker 1 (02:14:31):
But you know, what an interesting thing to see a
Catholic service in Arabic. I mean, I listen. I don't
speak Latin, and for whatever reason, and I'm not Catholic,
so I don't understand the rules, edicts, mandates, rules from
on high and all that. But my understanding is the
Pope said, you can't do Mass in Latin.

Speaker 9 (02:14:47):
Anymore, well limited, very limited, but.

Speaker 3 (02:14:51):
You can do it in Arabic.

Speaker 9 (02:14:55):
But it's just we have we call it a corbono,
same thing as the missile in the last in church,
but you'll have English and then in their alphabet Arabic
and Syriac.

Speaker 6 (02:15:09):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:15:10):
One side's English, one side's this, and much of the
English has the phonetics for what we're praying or singing
in Arabic. So it's sort of like the Latin missile,
but with phonetics, and it's very easy to.

Speaker 1 (02:15:28):
Follow along and follow along, you know, we'll have a
familiarity with the language.

Speaker 6 (02:15:32):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (02:15:33):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (02:15:33):
You make it very welcoming, and you also welcome people
who otherwise don't necessarily normally tend that's your Catholic church
to show up on Sunday and enjoy a service.

Speaker 9 (02:15:42):
Correct and see something different, cultural experience, right, we're supposed
to share those. We also twice a month have a
Byzantine church giving a divine liturgy. So, uh, you can
just learn so much about the Catholic faith at our parish.

Speaker 3 (02:16:02):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (02:16:03):
And get good food and get good food, which you
know that I'm going to get move in that direction
here anyway.

Speaker 3 (02:16:08):
It's important.

Speaker 1 (02:16:11):
Well, I know you know that, and I just wanted
to give you an opportunity to, you know, say a
few extra words about the church because I learned more
this morning, I think than all the collective knowledge I
had about your church over the years. That we've been talking.
We've been talking together a long time, so over a
decade over at Faade.

Speaker 3 (02:16:26):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (02:16:26):
That's one of the reasons why I got so excited
when I saw you on the rundown. It's like, oh
my god, I get Lebanese food today. So I'll tell
you what it's. It's eight thirty four. So rather than
dive on into the specifics of the Lebanese Festival, we're
just going to pause for a break a little early
and then we'll get all the details. We'll bring Kim
back and talk about what you're going to eat on Sunday,
when to be there, how to go, and the scarcity

(02:16:50):
and limited availability of Kimmi Naya to wait for it. Folks,
you got to get there for that, and you better
get there a little bit early for los Camp. She's amazing.
You'll love working with Susette. She is the best person
you could ever hope to contact if you're talking about
mortgages and mortgage related concepts like refinancing and getting some

(02:17:11):
equity out of your home, maybe about buying a first home,
which is exactly what my daughter did. She took my advice,
called Suzette up. I think it was just like two
days two days later. This is their first time by
never bought a home before, never been through the experience before.
And I remember those days when my wife and I
bought our first house. A little bit overwhelming, but you're

(02:17:31):
in great hands with Susette. Got them through the process
in like two days, locked in financing. Now there happily
moved on with their lives and are enjoying the home
that they purchased thanks to Suzette Low's Camp. I don't
care what state you're in, even Puerto Rico, she can
help you. She's with Cross Country Mortgage, so you got
that aspect covered again. The best customer service in the
business and never a junk fee or an application fee,

(02:17:52):
just great rates at a low cost coupled with superior
customer service. Please give Susette my regards when you speak
with her. You can even call her outside of business hours,
like right now. She'll get right back with you. I
promise you that it's five one three three one three
fifty one seventy six five one three three one three
fifty one seventy six. You can shoot her an email
at Suzette dot Low's Camp, which is called l O

(02:18:12):
S e Ka MP Suzette dot Low's camp at CCM
dot com.

Speaker 3 (02:18:18):
It's kind of hard to keep cool.

Speaker 7 (02:18:20):
We know that there's other people running in the country.

Speaker 6 (02:18:22):
They are completely immune do anything that's.

Speaker 4 (02:18:25):
Logical, and the topics are so heated.

Speaker 6 (02:18:28):
Everybody's covering for a person.

Speaker 14 (02:18:29):
In defining how do we repair the damage brought forth
on our judicial system.

Speaker 3 (02:18:33):
But your call is always welcome.

Speaker 14 (02:18:35):
That shows everyone that they better get out and vote
come November, otherwise it's going to get worse.

Speaker 9 (02:18:42):

Jason earheard on fifty five KRC the Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (02:19:38):
Eight thirty nine at fifty five Carrisity Talks Station Fun Fridays.
It's an obligation for Joe Strecker of the fifty five
KRCY morning show executive producer to make it fun on
a Fridays, and this has been one of the most
uplifting Fridays I've had in such a long time. And
of course closing it out here talking about the Taso
Loven Mediterranean Food Festival taking place this Sunday at Saint

(02:19:58):
Anthea Padawa Marini Church, which you can enjoy a cultural
experience by having a Catholic mess in Arabic. Certain days apply.
You can check them out online and You can also
check out the entire menu for the Lebanese Taste of
Lemon and Food festiv we're talking about now, which is
the Taste of Lebanon dot com. That's easy and the
whole menus right there. So my friend Kim I have

(02:20:21):
been sampling some of the items. It's going to be
available on Sunday. I get them early. Great stuff. Grape
leaves you deserve it. Abs, Oh thank you, and those
are a labor of love.

Speaker 6 (02:20:31):
It is not.

Speaker 1 (02:20:32):
I mean they're not difficult to make. I've made them
many times over my life, but you know, you prepare
yourself for multiple hours worth of work when you make
stuff grape leaves, because they're all hand they're hand rolled.

Speaker 9 (02:20:43):
It's like wrapping a Christmas present, roll full full because
you don't want those edges to show true.

Speaker 1 (02:20:49):
Or you could say it's kind of like rolling a
cigar for a big fat joint.

Speaker 3 (02:20:55):
I had to go there.

Speaker 1 (02:20:56):
But those are just one of the many things. The
spinach pies just oh my mouth water even just thinking
about them. And the kiddy I made a reference to
the Kibbi naie that would be raw kivvi and you
do have it available. Some people get wigged out over
the concept of eating raw meat. This is Lamb and
it is absolutely to die for. I like the raw

(02:21:18):
much better than the baked or the fried, and I
love both of them.

Speaker 9 (02:21:23):
Well, the fried is a ground round and the raw
is Lamb is Lamb, same type of spices, and it's
it's fresh.

Speaker 3 (02:21:33):
It was so fresh.

Speaker 9 (02:21:35):
I mean we make it starting about eleven o'clock right
around there, and the festival the vine Lettergy Holy Mass
is at ten thirty and then the festival opens at
noon till seven. But so it's just made like an
hour hour and ten minutes or so before the festival opens.

(02:21:58):
And yeah, fresh fresh.

Speaker 3 (02:22:00):
You don't need to convince me.

Speaker 1 (02:22:01):
I know you're talking to people who otherwise might be
turned off by the idea of eating raw meat. But
it is so wonderful. And you put it on some
pita bread and you got the peeda bread there and
a little olive oil.

Speaker 9 (02:22:11):
Some people like onion with it as well, and kid
be tartar.

Speaker 3 (02:22:18):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (02:22:20):
So, I mean, it's exactly whoa just a description.

Speaker 1 (02:22:24):
Every time I am in, it's whenever it's available that
I'm there, I'm getting some.

Speaker 9 (02:22:29):
You know, there's one of the well, why don't you
come or let me know when you'll be there, and
I'll put it aside for you. Joe is my phone number,
and say okay, I'm going to be there at four,
and I'll be like, okay, we'll be sold out by four,
so I'll put some aside for Brian.

Speaker 3 (02:22:43):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (02:22:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:22:44):
I probably do that because my wife's got a baby
shower to go to and I'm obviously not invited, so
it's a good thing. I'll swing down and maybe if
it's a nice day. It looks like it's going to
be on Sunday ninety one under sunny skies, maybe take
my motorcycle down there for a ride.

Speaker 3 (02:22:56):
I had a baby.

Speaker 6 (02:22:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:22:59):
What else we talk about here? The which is the shwarma, Yeah, right.

Speaker 9 (02:23:04):
Just to wook and it's marinated. They'll be marinating it
either starting tonight or tomorrow, so that it's properly marinated, long,
good and long. And we wrap that and our falaffel
in a thin paper thin peed of bread so you're
not getting thicker. A lot of bread and spinach pies,

(02:23:28):
meat pies, and we also have for the vegetarian, we
have the falaffel and then we have some green beans
and rice, and the green beans are done in a
tomato space, so there is no meat in that for
some people where you can just get a side of rice,

(02:23:51):
some people like that. And of course, well the fried
kibbi yummy stuffed grape leaves which has meat in it,
rice and special Lebanese spices. Hummus to bully. We're going
to be cleaning Parsley this afternoon, and then we'll also
have a pastry booth.

Speaker 3 (02:24:13):
Let me guess, yeah, bucalo of course, and.

Speaker 9 (02:24:18):
We'll have ice cream Arabic coffee souvenir booth, and then
we have dancing. They call it the dep Key, so
we'll have music there, traditional music, and then our youth
and young adults will be doing the Deputy dance, asking
our customers to join in. And also a fashion show

(02:24:43):
which they will be wearing some Middle East garb and
somebody will be telling you what country this is from
typically how it's worn. So that's really interesting and fun.

Speaker 3 (02:24:55):
Oh sure, and it reminds me.

Speaker 1 (02:24:58):
I hate to draw a parallel, but like an October
festy thing where they have the German dancers and and
the youth groups doing the dances and the German music.

Speaker 9 (02:25:05):
This is just we don't wear the leader hosts and
whatever it's called.

Speaker 1 (02:25:07):
Well, you're gonna wear whatever the garb is that you're
going to be rolling out in the Fasion show traditional
Middle Eastern garb.

Speaker 3 (02:25:14):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (02:25:15):
So it's full of cultural opportunities for folks, but most
fundamentally and the big draw is just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful food.
So now the address, oh yeah, yeah, that would be important.

Speaker 9 (02:25:27):
Well, yeah, twenty five thirty Victory Parkway, and that is
in Walnut Hills. We have plenty of ample free parking
and wheelchair accessible and I did it goes until seven
o'clock this time.

Speaker 1 (02:25:44):
Noon until seven. Yeah, and we want to go up
show up for the mass though at ten thirty I hope.
So well, yeah, I mean you got to get your
religion going there, so you can you know, you can
God first cod you can over indulge and engage in
gluttony because you've been forgiven of your sin.

Speaker 3 (02:26:00):
You have to go back to church after the festival.

Speaker 9 (02:26:02):
We can arrange confession.

Speaker 3 (02:26:06):
See I'm that Catholic.

Speaker 1 (02:26:07):
I have never been a confession So if I were
to convert one day and I had to sit down
in front of a priest and confess my life, my
lifetime of sins. I think we'd be there for a really,
really really at some point you just say, all right,
let's just cut to the chase here see May nine thousand,
Hail Mary's.

Speaker 9 (02:26:25):
But it does make one a little bit more contrite
when you're there and you're going, oh, no, I can't
get all this.

Speaker 2 (02:26:31):
I have to admit it.

Speaker 1 (02:26:33):
I believe in God, and my view of life is
you can't hide anything from God. This is why I
like exactly. I like honest prayer. I think it's good
for you. It forces introspection. You don't pray to win
the lottery, because that's a waste that ever. Now, God
is going to not let you win the lottery. If
you win, God did not choose for you to win.

(02:26:54):
Reap the benefits of winning. Thank God for being the
person who won. But don't give God credit for it.
Not one who believes that he actively is engaged in that.
But if you're praying, though, you can't lie. Well, now
that's the point they cease through everything, So you gotta focus. Yeah,
why are you feeling this way? What are your problems?

(02:27:15):
And maybe you might want to look within to solve
them and don't hide behind. Well, it isn't my fall
because well because he knows that made me feel bad. No,
you allowed yourself to feel carry you are. We got
off on a little theology discussion this morning, kim. Anyhow
folks all everybody can go to my blog page fifty
five Casey dot com. Joe's got a link to the

(02:27:36):
festival activities and information start time location. It's all right there.

Speaker 9 (02:27:39):
We have carry out too.

Speaker 1 (02:27:41):
Well, yeah you did mentioned, but it's true a lot
of people do a lot of.

Speaker 9 (02:27:44):
People they want to come in maybe see the fashion
show or something. But get in line, get your package
and there is some ordering online that you can pre
order and then pick up that order for carry out
also that is on the.

Speaker 1 (02:27:59):
Website, including the Kibbi naya no Ah, what if you
show up late, Well, if you.

Speaker 3 (02:28:05):
Put aside my package, you can be well.

Speaker 9 (02:28:07):
For you, I will make an exception, She'll treatment you absolutely.
But I mean the carry out does well because some
people like to eat there and then go to carry out,
so they take some home in its package to go
and you can have a snack snack for dinner or
breakfast the next.

Speaker 1 (02:28:25):
Morning and it does keep. Oh yeah, I mean it'll
keep a day. But you want to eat the Kibi
naya that day, and you will. Once you taste it,
it's like it's gone.

Speaker 9 (02:28:32):
But yeah, but if you buy enough, I can eat
it Monday morning for breakfast.

Speaker 6 (02:28:36):

Faily special on Friday. Folks hang around you right back.

I love people saving money. I love folks out there
that I speak for because they are really great about
goods and services and of course Cover Sincy are the
folks to talk to about medical insurance because they can

(02:29:26):
save you a lot of money and they can give
you better medical coverage like dollar one coverage. Hey, you
don't have to sink in and pay ninety five hundred
dollars out of your pocket before the medical insurance kicks in.
It never ever, ever sounds like it's true when I
say it, But it is better coverage, less money. I
don't care where you are. There's no open enrollment situation.
Cover Sincity and the team there are working for you.

(02:29:47):
Access to more than two hundred insurance companies, thousands of policies,
and they really truly do an individual look so to
look at you. If you're going in there as a
family looking for insurance, each individual member of the family
may have different policies because you're all at different places
in your life groups same thing. You're a business owner,
You got employees who refuse to buy medical insurance because
of that massive out of pocket liability becomes a pointless

(02:30:09):
gesture paying the premium. You are in fabulous hands with
John Rolman and a team at Cover, since he he'll
improve your business's bottom line and make the insurance affordable
and worthwhile Jain, I know it sounds too good to
be true. Prune in to the test. There's no obligation.
You just reach out and ask them to do an
analysis of your situation and come up with a better way.
It's five to one three eight hundred call five one
