55KRC Friday Show - Tech Friday, Brigham McKowen, Tim Rivers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
New candidate Your Decision twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Station, a failed Vice President and a failed administration.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Fifty five krs. He the talk station.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Five O five at fifty five KRC, the talk station
Happy Friday.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Will there is a vacation there.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
It is woohoo for Friday and thank god it's Friday. Oh,
let us see what is going on today? Well, we
of course got Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Always enjoyed
that segment, very informative. Today we'll be talking about a
new Microsoft program that can deep fake someone with one
single photo and one single audio track. Deep fakes getting

(01:02):
worse and worse, which means better and better. They're be
getting better making deep fakes, and more technology gets rolled out,
the more likeliness someone's gonna fake you, or at least
and make an effort to do it. We'll see if
he's got any solutions to get out of that problem.
I tend to doubt it. Local woman got scammed out
of ten thousand dollars. And finally, third topic, social media
companies have engaged in spying of users due to lax safeguards.

(01:27):
Of course, that's a regular theme for the Tech Friday
segment here on the fifty five KRSE Morning Show seven
oh five with bring him account from Hudsondence too. Just
got back from Europe where he delivered a large presentation
in Hungary. We'll get the details from Brigham on that
at seven oh five. Fast forward to eight oh five
Tim Rivers, the author of American Goolag. We've talked with
Tim Rivers before on the Morning Show and about that book.

(01:49):
We're get get an update since we had him on
last and that was in January. So there's your rundown
for today. I always enjoy hearing from you. Five one three,
seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
three talk go to town five to fifty on AT.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
And T phones.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Quite sure where to start this morning, Let's go obviously,
the hurricane, although making the news some pretty significant damage.
Kind of waiting for the lights to come on this
morning in Florida to see how large the damage was
cat for it was described as being cat too as
it entered the state of Georgia. And they're really kind

(02:24):
of concerned for the folks in Atlanta dealing with hurricane
force winds, which is an unusual kind of thing. So
prayer's thoughts for everybody or our friends to the south,
and of course we're at least going to get the
benefit of the rain from the hurricane and enjoy it
because we certainly needed the rain. Whether it's going to
ruin your weekend plans or not. Speaking of weekend plans,

(02:44):
I hope you can make it. We're going to be
at the Claremont County Airport tomorrow for the Claremont County
Republican Club Flapjack event proceeds benefiting the Clarmont County Republican Party.
Got some great speakers, including a lucky man. I am
Morgan Ortegas the American television commentator, fin Angel analyst, political advisor,
and the person who serves as a spokesperson for the
US Department of State during the Trump administration. It's also

(03:07):
a founder of Polaris, a national security co chair of
the Woman's Democracy Network, International Republican Institute, and remember the
board of advisors for the China Center at the Hudson Institute.
So I'm facilitating. I get to be there and just
introduce people. Get some noted and notables going to be there,
including Congress from Winstrop, Alex Channata Filo, ag Yost Megan Shanahan,

(03:30):
who's nominee for the Supreme Court, pay attention to your
judicial races. Daniel Hawkins, also for the Supreme Court, and
Secretary of State Frank LeRose So got sausage, orange juice, Flapjacks, coffee, Mimosas,
and Bloody Mary's will also be available. Tickets are inexpensive.
It is serve a good cause. The Clermont County Republican
Party Solid Red Claremont County forty bucks a ticket. You

(03:53):
can just go to gop Claremont dot org and a
little click you over to the event bright site where
the tickets can be bought. I hope to see you
tomorrow morning at nine am again Claremont County Airport. Thanks
to the Claremont County Republican Party for inviting me to that.
I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. So what else is
going on in the wild wide world of sports? Just
don't know where I want to start? How about here

(04:13):
since it's Tech Friday now. First off, there's been a
warning issued. Car dealerships are expecting to well have a
real problem because of the port strike. International Longshoreman's Association
is negotiating on behalf of it's forty five thousand or
so dock workers at three dozen US ports between Maine
and Texas, which handles around half of our entire country's

(04:39):
seaborn imports, and they say they're prepared for a strike
and they don't have a new contract by October first.
So the ripple effect is get your car repaired now
while there are still inventory for parts, because if the
ports get shut down, that's just one small segment of
an entire well half of our seaboard imports are going

(04:59):
to be shut down, presumably, and it includes car parts.
Just I'm guessing there's going to be a longer list
of things that will be impacted by this. But it
kind of since it's tech Friday had reminded me that
I had this story that I forgot to get to
earlier in the week. We are here in the United
States proposing and the White House announced this on September

(05:23):
twenty third, a proposed ban on connected vehicle technologies that
connect with countries of concern. That's what the countries of
concern think of China, for example, and that's predominantly what
this concern is all about, that a foreign adversary could
remotely control these vehicles and use them for surveillance purposes

(05:43):
and data collection. Commerce Department apparently found that location technologies
can be used to capture information about or disrupt critical infrastructure.
According to a Commerce secretary at GENA Riomando at a
press briefing September twenty third, when foreign aras adversaries build
software to make a vehicle that means that it can
be used for surveillance, it can be remotely controlled, which

(06:05):
threatens the privacy and safety of Americans on the road.
In an extreme situation, a foreign adversary could shut down
or take control of all their vehicles operating in the
United States all at the same time, causing crashes and
blocking roads. Yeah, I'd say that's a big concern, Sloman said.
With potentially millions of vehicles on the road, each with

(06:26):
ten to fifteen year life spans, the risk of disruption
and sabotage increases dramatically. Of course, we know, because we've
heard it time and time again. The United States considers
the Chinese Communist Party our top security threat. They're the
ones making all the stuff that goes into the technology
in these new vehicles. Commis Department identified particular Chinese and

(06:49):
Russian technologies also Russia, that they pose a particularly acute threat.
They're currently working on a rule to ban the import
or sale of cars with in their words, systems designed
and develop manufacturers supplied by entities with a sufficient nexus
to the People's Republic of China or Russia. The rule,

(07:10):
if the rule is finalized, this is one of those
things why this represents a massive security threat. There's some
swirling speculation as to whether the rule is going to
be finalized or not. Anyway, they say if it's finalized,
as they hrumph over the problem, the software band would
take effect for cars with a model year of twenty
twenty seven. The hardware prohibitions would take effect for model

(07:33):
year twenty thirty. Kicking the can down the road a
little bit on this very very eerie and frightening technological ability,
and I thought this was an odd fact. Car manufacturers
apparently told the Bureau that they do not know often
the source of specific components and pliers. They claim this

(07:59):
delayed implementation schedule that just referenced twenty to thirty is
meant to give manufacturers time to do due diligence. You
need that many years to do due diligence that six
years court to Liz Cannon, head of the Commerce Department's
Information and Communication Technology Office, we anticipate at this point

(08:22):
that any vehicle that is manufactured in China and sold
in the United States States would fall within the prohibitions.
In other words, it will be a ban on Chinese vehicles,
given that they are pack full of technology that regularly
communicates lots of information over to some watchers in China. Now,
in spite of the fact that China doesn't import very

(08:44):
many cars here in the United States, it's the parts
that are the problem. Coalition for Reimagined Mobility, which includes
industry executives and private and public sector leaders in technology,
wrote a letter to the Commerce Department saying that Chinese
suppliers dominate the production of many essential components. It sounds
like we're talking about electric vehicle components like batteries. An

(09:11):
American light OAR company called Ouster Light Detection and Ranging
Company light our sensors, basically network devices, capture and transmit
continuous streams of data, typically ranging from one hundred to
one thousand megabytes per second. That data transmitted via ethernet
ports with a system or device which is often connected

(09:33):
to the Internet. In other words, going to the Chinese
Communist Party. Apparently, Chinese companies make light our components in
a lot less than the well those that aren't manufactured
in China. This Alster company to the products of the
Chinese company is still an average of six hundred to
eight hundred dollars per piece versus eight hundred to one

(09:54):
thousand dollars from non Chinese suppliers. A separate group, Yule
Group Technology market analyst, reports that Chinese light arm manufacturers
control drum roll seventy three percent of the market, and
that was twenty twenty two, and I can only imagine
that the share of the market dominated by the Chinese
has gone up since then, given that they have a
price advantage, enslave labor, and no environmental rules or regulations

(10:17):
or restrictions, and no environmental litigation. They just want something made,
They make it, and there can be made it for
a lot less money. This is why people end up
gravitating over towards Chinese stuff. Understand economics, but it comes
at a cost, and that cost is scary in the
sense that the data alone is being gathered up. And

(10:38):
they said that this scanning data with these light ar technologies,
can you know, scan an area and provide very specific
details down to the millimeter. So anyhow it's going on,
got to be aware of it and just got to
wonder why are elected officials with this kind of challenge
and this kind of concern and it's a major one
can't act with a little bit more speed five sixteen

(11:02):
fifty five k site talk station plenty more to talk about.
I'd love to hear from you too, so feel free
to call me this morning five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five eight hundred eighty two three talking quick
plug for fifty five casy dot com when you get
the podcasts and you cannot listen live. Bernie Moreno was
on the program yesterday. Get in touch with Bernie. Let's
check out the podcast Berniemarino dot com on the web
and see if he can't help support him in our

(11:23):
efforts to oust Shared Brown, which will be great for
the country. Right back.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Fifty five krc.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
iHeart Radio brings you Global Citizen Festival twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Four from New York City at Central Part.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Five twenty on a Friday, an happy one for you.
I got a little shot for going on this morning
and yesterday read there was moving away from China dominating

(12:08):
the auto parts industry and spying on us with our automobiles.
China's newest nuclear powered attack submarine sank apparently happened in spring,
and it's just now being widely reported. The Chinese, of course,
are denying anything happened, but nope, they're trying to do
a cover up. Happened in a shipyard near Wuhan in

(12:29):
late May early June. The US does not know if
the sub was carrying nuclear fuel at the time it's sang,
but experts outside the United States say, well, it was likely.
Apparently Beijing had forty eight diesel power a tax subs,
six nuclear power tax subs at the end of twenty
twenty two, and it's busily trying to build up its

(12:51):
navy and significant significant ways, of course, in anticipation of
the invasion of Taiwan. When's that going to happen comes
more of a question than if it's going to happen,
of course, to South China Sea constant date of turmoil
with the Chinese claims of rights over that particular area.
They need a big navy to do that. The sub
was part of that rebuilding effort new attack submarines. The

(13:16):
Zu class vessel that sank apparently the first of a
new class of Chinese nuclear powered subs.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
They say it.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Features a distinctive X shape stern, which apparently makes the
vessel more maneuverable. At least that was the expectation, but
the thing sank, so I don't know if they'll be
doing any testing in the near term. Sub was built
by China State Shipbuilding Corporation, state owned, of course. It
was seen alongside a pier on the Yangze River in
May while was going it's final equipping before heading out

(13:46):
the sea, and then I guess satellite footage shows just
basically a bunch of cranes showing up in the area,
and well, you try to salvage the submarine which sunk.
According to United States senior defense officials, it's not surprising

(14:06):
that PLA Navy would try to conceal the fact that
their new first in class nuclear power attacks su sank
peer side. In addition to the obvious questions about training
standards equipment quality, the incident raises deeper questions about PLA's
internal accountability and oversight of China's defense industry, which has
long been plugged by corruption, made me smile. It's nice

(14:28):
to know that Chinese have to deal with corruption also
human phenomenon. Now they say American officials haven't detected any
indication that the Chinese are sampling water or looking for contamination,
But then again they're pretty close to that about talking
about such things. But a little embarrassing, and of course

(14:50):
it doesn't bother me that it happened, But like I said,
provided me with it's just a scoche of schadenfreude. The
other day when I about that as a segue into
local stories. Just a real big red flag warning here.
And we've all been talking about this for such a
long time, the idea that if you're buying any drugs

(15:10):
off the street, you are really putting your life in
jeopardy given the fentanyl problem, and that the idea that
there's so much ventyl out there that's showing up in
literally every form of drug, and these counterfeit drugs that
are out there are truly deadly. The Hamilton County Addiction
Response Coalition just issued a public alert because there's been
an abnormal increase in overdoses over the past week between

(15:32):
in one week September twentieth and twenty six, they're four
to ten suspected overdose death. They're waiting for toxic toxicology confirmation.
I understand that they say the county has also seen
to jump in the number of overdose related nine to
one one calls. So increase overdose death likely related to
people unknowingly consuming fentanyl laced substances or failing to use

(15:59):
well narcam. You're supposed to have narcan around if you're
a drug addict. At the narcan that's a society's solution
to your drug addiction. I strongly would encourage you to
see counseling, but having that there might prevent your death.
But in the broader scheme of things, and I bring
this up regularly because it's incumbent upon all of us
to explain to the young people of the world something

(16:20):
that they may not be familiar with. They do share
their drugs and adderalls literally everywhere. It's sort of like
a speed thing, focus clarity, help you study whatever, keep
you awake during class, or keep you up at night
so you can play video games all night. That is
shared widely among young people because there's so many prescriptions

(16:40):
out there. How there's so many prescriptions out there. They
had an Adderall shortage for a while. I'm not sure
if that's been overcome. So the drug dealers know this.
They manufacture pills that look exactly like prescription adderall and
send them out of the street causing wild death. So
please spread the word on that. And it's not just Adderall,
it's just my favorite one of choice because I know
how popular that apparently is among young people. So be

(17:03):
safe out there, stick around. Local stories coming up. Then
we'll do a stack as stupid. I would love to
hear from you if you've got some to say or
a topic you want to talk about. And then of
course coming up at six point thirty Tech Friday with Dave.

Speaker 6 (17:13):
Hatter, be right back fifty five krs.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
All right, here's your nine first warning. Well, the forecast
high wind advisory starting at noon today, so we got rain,
it'll be heavier later this afternoon, high winds. Expect some damage.
They're warning everybody about that. Seventy one for the high
sixty four overnight winds will slow down. It will have
spotty shower overcast with continued showers tomorrow. High of seventy

(17:38):
spotty overnight showers that showers that is sixty two for
the low, and then on Sunday we have a showers,
likely thunderstorms, possible seventy one for the high sixty nine degrees.
Right now, if you have kc DE talk station, it
is five twenty nine, Happy Friday to for Now Tech

(18:00):
Friday with Dave Hadner. Phone calls are always welcome five one, three, seven,
four nine, fifty eight hundred eighty three talk and of
course plug for the I Heard Media, but you can
get fifty five cars dot com stream the content the
entire I Heard Media library of content, plus the fifty
five Cars Morning Show content including podcasts, and there are
links there for the empower Youse seminars and hope you
went to the empower Use seminar last night, Jeff Cease

(18:23):
and others. Anyway, over to local stories, remnants of Hurbricane
Helen hitting the Tri State today. Duke Energy is saying, hey,
keep your eyes peeled and be prepared for possible power outages.
They say, I have customers in the Big Ben section
of Florida where cat Ford is expected to make more

(18:44):
the catfoe actually did make landfall, and then I know
there's I think it was reportedly north of a million
people without power in Florida, so they're warning about that,
Jeff Brooks, spokesperson for Duke Energy. Even though we trim
year round, we do that so we can reduce the
number of averages that we experienced. When we t talk
about a tree that's seventy to eighty feet high, you
get enough win and the right conditions that thing can

(19:06):
fall from even across the street. So he said, there
are a couple of one hundred line and tree workers
headed to the Gulf Coast to help out down in Florida.
The vast majority of the company resources, however, remain here
in the Tri States, thankfully, he said. It takes an
electric army, unfortunately, as big a utility, that's what we've got.
We put everybody into play and make sure we can
restore power as quickly and safely as possible. He i

(19:30):
pointed out line workers can out work in winds over
twenty nine miles per hour, so if the gusts are high,
it may take a little while to restore the power
until the wind calms down, So just be prepared and
check your power outage map. What else have we got
going on in the Cincinnati area Hamilton County grand jury
indicted Kie Kyle Riley connection with the Junis sold outside

(19:55):
the Montgomery and Boathouse. Raley's been charged with one kind
of filonia societ felling of the second degree, two counts
of aggravated assault and following in the fourth degree, and
according to the grand jury release yesterday afternoon, He's the
son of a WCPO Channel nine chief meteorologist, Steve Raley,
apparently who was there at the time of the assault.

(20:16):
Salt charges come after officers were called to the scene
for fighting following a motor vehicle accident and argument described
as heated in the parking lot of the Riverside Drive
restaurant June twenty second, after nine pm. Seventy nine year
old Doug Morrow, seventy six year old Lewis Morrow, and
Troy Morrow, forty all hurt. According to the documents, Kyle
Rowley was under the influence of sudden passion or in

(20:41):
a sudden fit of rage that's in quotes when he
used deadly force in the assaults of Lewis and Douglas Morrow.
Also indict in connection with the incident, Troy Morrow, I
mentioned forty years old He's charged with one kind of menacing,
a fourth green misdemeanor for causing Steve Raley to believe
that the defendant would cause fit physical harm to him.

(21:03):
Police report of the incident heavily redacted no specifics about
the nature of the injuries, but family of the victims
say Doug Marrow was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion concussion.
Lois Morrow hospitalized the concussion fractured skull, brain bleed, and
a cut that required staples in the back of her
head and a lens detached from her eye. Geez Louise

(21:24):
incident report reads suspect approach Victim one, striking him with
the closed fist in the head and knock him to
the ground. Victim number two and three attempting to aid
Victim one, struck and shoved to the ground by the suspect.
Daughter of the injured couple posted a video of the
incident to Facebook. You can hear argument off Canberra, followed

(21:45):
by the escalation of shouting on what appears to the
physical contact between multiple people, but does not show any
clear cut of salt according to the reports. Anyhow, Merlin Shiverdecker,
the Raleigh family attorney, released the statement I love Merlin.
He is a brilliant man. I used to work for Merlin,

(22:06):
so it's policed to see he's still out there practicing
law to some degree. Hey, we're disappointed in the grand
jury's findings and reverences to Kyle. It should be remembered
that these are only allegations. Kyle was presumed innocent. The
grand jury did accuse Troy Morrow of being the instigator
of the incident. We intend to vigorously defend these accusations
in court and not in the media. Good to hear

(22:27):
from Merlin. I hope you're well out there, Merlin. One
passenger killed a driver hurt in a crash of West
Price Hill happened late Wednesday. According to the cincint Police,
impairment and excessive speed are being investigated as contributing factors
to the crash. Eighteen year old driver of a twenty
sixteen Chevy Equinox struck an unoccupied dump truck, barked in

(22:48):
the curb, lame in the four thousand Loacha West eighth
driver taken to hospital with serious injuries, taking up to
UC Medical Center. A mail passenger pronounced dead at the scene.
Both were wearing seat Belts Police are looking for witnesses.
If you have any information about the crash you witnessed it,
please call this Insint Police Department's traffic unit that number
five one three three five two twenty five fourteen. Five

(23:10):
one three three five two twenty five fourteen. Stick around again.
Do a stack of stupid coming up? Keep my fingers
crossed to dive on into some funny ones, I said,
I do see the top story there involve somebody naked
as this tradition. Thank you, just trecker duck go away,
be right back fifty five the talk station. Don't let

(23:32):
game bet five point thirty nine on a Friday, of course,
the answer is yes. Five one three, seven fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two three talk five fifty on eight
NC phones. Happy Friday, go stack of stupid here. We're

(24:04):
enjoy hearing from you, And I did hear from my
submariner friend Mike aka Cribbage Mic, offering us condolence to
the Chinese submariners and their families, but another example of
how unforgiving the mighty Ocean is. And hundreds of feet
below the service, he said, our saless procedures and hardware
are light years out of the Chinese and Russians. I

(24:24):
witnessed first hand these shoddy examples of the Russian fleet
at the height of the Cold War. Both are still
a formidable threat due to their vast numbers of ships
and personnel. He says, though our latest class of Virginia
class submarines implemented the X design stern for great reneuverability
and higher speeds. Gee, I wonder how the Chinese obtained
that technology. Excellent point cribbage mic. Probably via hacking into

(24:47):
our computer resources and stealing our sensitive data. That's my bet.
Over to the stack of stupid. Start with the naked guy,
as is tradition. There you go. Good to Saint Charles Paris, Louisiana,
A dressed hand man admitted for psychiatric evaluation after crashing
and flipping over a truck injuring a driver. Saint Charles

(25:10):
Parish Sheriff's officer reporting the deputies took twenty four year
old Elogio Diaz in a custody after he was seen
naked walking around a wind Dixie parking lot seven pm
on Wednesday. Surveillance VIDY from a nearby business business captured
the crash. Diaz banged on the car he was driving
before got in it, drove around erratically, and then slammed

(25:32):
into the truck, causing it to flip over. Cording to
the police, deputy spoke with the driver of the truck,
who was advised he was trying to just exit the
parking lot when he got hit on the passenger side
by this insane guy. Driver suffered injury to his hand
climbing out of a broken rear window. They say the
video reflects that the car crash was an intentional act,

(25:52):
not accidental. Cord to the Sheriff's office, due to he
as erratic behavior and demeanor, he was assessed by EMS
and transport to the Saint Charles High Hospital. At that time,
he was admitted for psychiatric evaluation. They got a search
warrant for his blood and urine after the accident because
it appeared as though he was impaired. He will be
arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant for charges related to DWY,

(26:14):
aggravated battery, aggravated criminal damage to property once he is
released from the hospital. What do people feel they need
to take their clothes off? Sixty six year old paw
tocket Man, speaking of which arrested Wednesday after approaching women
on the Blackstone River bikeway while fully nude. This court

(26:36):
of don't know Cumberland Police reporting on this. The Cumberland
Police and others converge on the bike path Wednesday morning
after getting a call about an older white guy approaching
female walkers while fully nude. That according to police Chief
Matthew Benson Indie press release, police found the suspect identified

(26:58):
by the caller being in charge of the Nisian exposure
disorderly conduct and would.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
Get deliberate penalties so we could get into the penalty
box all by himself.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Actually worst Joe to possession of child pornography. Police think
this guy was involved in several similar incidents in Cumberland
Lincoln and ask anybody who might have been victimized to
get in touch with him. That's thank you, Joe. Let's

(27:36):
see about this one. British swingers preparing and getting ready
for a Robin Hood themed treasure hunt in Nottingham, the
legendary Outlaws home city. These swingers event dubbed the Great
Throbbing Hood Hunt. I can't believe I just read that.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
It'll be followed by what is described as a steamy
celebration near Sherwood Forest. Tickets for swingers that are interested
in going priced at forty pounds to secure a spot.
Standard tickets will set couples back ten pounds, and single
participants can join for as little as five Joe, you

(28:28):
think people might be confused between like pounds weight versus
pounds money. We're referring to the latter. Joe wants me
to clarify participants encourage that Don Robin Hood inspired at
tire for the hunt, with more reserved attendees opting for
casual wear. After the hunt, swingers are reconvened at a

(28:49):
risk a social before heading out for clod night. Out
of the clubs, October fifth, got still got time to
sign up folks. The Purple Mamba Club, described as a
member's only swingers club, started a party at nine pm
after the day's activities. Evening stress code smart clubwear or

(29:12):
more daring throbbing Throbbing Hood inspired costumes, according to the
club announcement, joined forces with other members to hunt for
clues to discover Throbbing Hood's secret treasures across Nottingham from
four pm, which teams will win race across Nottingham to
solve clues before regrouping for a live social from seven pm,

(29:33):
followed by a memorable club night from nine pm. A
great fun social followed by a club night with live
music from the amazing Pancake Boy and mishappen. No, this
is not a p didty party. Joe five car se

(29:54):
tukstation more Steck has stupid coming up. Calls are welcome
and of course looking very much forward to six thirty
with Dave atteran Tech Friday, be right back.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
What's the best five fifty fifty five care Cepe talk station.
It's Friday. Yay Tima County Flapjack Breakfast tomorrow nine am.
Hope to see you there. Lots of politicians, lots of
great people. Clarmont County Republican Party is a great organization,
so I'm hoping to see you there. I'm going to
be facilitating that little event at the Claremont County Airport

(30:30):
former New Fairfield. This is Danbury, this is Believe, Britain.
New Fairfield Middle School cafeteria eight accused of sexually assaulting
a student. Going to be spending the next two and
a half years behind bars after a plea agreement. Andy
Rossafort sentenced at a State Superior Court in Danbury to

(30:52):
twenty years in prison, suspended after thirty months, followed by
ten years probation of depleting. Guilty to second degree assault
and risk of injury to a minor. Thirty three year
old appeared in court thirty three. She knew what was
coming when she showed up, phrasing I was waiting for that.

(31:14):
Charges against her stem from a state police investiment at
a possible inappropriate behavior involving a student, which resulted in
her arrest last February for twenty three, accused of exchanging
inappropriate messages with the student she met through her job
at the New Fairfield Middle School, according to the warrant
for arrest, as well as having illegal sexual conduct with
a minor. Court to the warrant, police determined that Rossafford

(31:35):
had been privately messaging a student on social media for months,
including sending sexually explicit images and videos of herself and
asking the student for images as well. The student talking
with police said he and Rosford had sexual contact in January,
she asked to meet in person. The student told police
he was attending a party at a friend's house the
night of the incident, agreed to meet her outside after

(31:56):
she picked him up. He told police she drove a
short day distance away and they quote had contact of
a sexual nature inside of the suv close quote warrned
for Rosford's arrest that the victim told police he felt
uncomfortable immediately went back to the party. Investigators later found
explicit videos of rosffort on the student's cell phone, as
well as photos and videos on her social media that

(32:18):
were consistent with those described by the victim. She resigned
from a position as a cafeteria aid after the state
police investigation kicked in. Investigated warned by school officials in
November of twenty two about her interactions with minors students
on social media. School district's inquiry did not turn up
any evidence of serious wrongdoing, according to the letter of
the superintendent's enter the school board m HM. Rosford arrested

(32:46):
on second degree sexual assault, risk of injury to a minor,
and enticing a minor by computer charges and originally pleaded
not guilty. Then came the FLEA agreement last Deceummer. She
rejected it open ply offer opted to take her case
to try, which would have exposed her to a man
ex prison sentence of twenty five years later, then accepted
the offer by the state change and pleaded guilty on
the sexual assault and risk of injury charges. The offer

(33:12):
in Rossfors case followed a court to the court many
long detailed discussions with all parties involved. Victim in the
case was aware and in agreement with the plea agreement
addition of spending thirty months in prison, nine months of
which the judge noted our mandatory, followed by ten year probation.
She will be required to register as a sex offender,
a lifetime protective order prohibiting her from having any contact

(33:35):
with the victim. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
You know.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Every time this happens, I keep going back to our
adult teachers so blank and dumb that they don't realize
that the child they're having sex with is going to
tell everyone and his brother about it.

Speaker 8 (34:01):
Jeez.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Thousands of people flooded to Washington, d C. Saturday for
the inaugural Gender Liberation March, including a performance artist who
did sexually explicit dances on top of a hood of
a cop car dressed as a little girl as officers
looked on.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
As this tradition say.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Marchers were dancing the street, waving flags and chanting the
support of a range of causes from abortion access through
gender affirming care for transgender youth, listening to speeches delivered
by LGBTQ icons such as actor Elliott Page never Heard
of Him apparently an icon. After the marching routine, a

(34:42):
full view of the teeming masses, a person in knee
high boots and leather underwear complete with studded cod peace
and fishnet top fully exposed their breast, put on a
shine stoke gyrating on the hood of the police car,
and twerking while blaring Michael Jackson's they don't care about
Us through a speakers. She was toting strapped to a

(35:02):
dolly cart. And of course, the group of marchers passing
by in the background included at least one young girl
who can be seen can be seen gawking at the
devil horn wearing crucifix licking dancer as she walked by
on the sidewalk brightly colored signs and the speaker identified
the elude dancer as Queen Amore Queen spelled qwee n

(35:28):
self described performance artists who's previously put on similar displays
on top of police vehicles. As she danced around the
Mark DC car, the camera pans to show its documents
to uninformed or uniformed city cops, sitting stoically and registering
absolutely no emotion. Welcome to twenty twenty four five fifty

When you can't listen to line get you try I
heart mediap at fifty five KRC dot com. Before you

(37:05):
get onto other topics, let's turn over to the phones.
I heard Tom, and there's Tom. Tom. Welcome to this show,
my friend. Could you hear from you?

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Hey, good morning, How you doing doing fine?

Speaker 5 (37:15):
Man?

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Long time no here. It's great to hear your voice
this morning.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, I'm still on the five o'clock schedule, so we
we're working at UC and if I don't start at five,
we won't be able to find a parking spot over here,
so that's kind of the main reason for doing it.
So yeah, I told Joe I had a little little
burro up my rear end and I had to call
in this morning, and obviously I've been itching to issing
to call in. I definitely missed talking to you every morning.

(37:40):
So we got a mailer yesterday. I'm sure everybody's getting
all these mailers and you're hearing all these political ads
and everything like that. Uh, we got one particular mailer
and it was particularly concerning. We got it from the
Democrat Party, which you know, it's like my wife's name
or current resident you know that got stuff. So I'm

(38:01):
not totally shocked or anything like that. But it was
an ad for shared brown and and the main point
of big bold letters, it's not about Democrat or Republican. Well,
I beg to differ because the the difference, the the
what do you call the big wide gap between the

(38:21):
gulf between these two parties right now is so huge,
so vast you almost can't see one side from the other.
And it is what these people are trying to do
to this country is so much different than what Republicans
want for this country. And believe me, and I've said
this before, Republicans got all kinds of problems, you know.

(38:42):
I mean we see the ads for for example, Bernie Marina,
one of the you know, one of the ADS attack
ADS is like how something happened with his business and
he cheated his employees and he shredded to mature whatever
and all that, And somebody asked you recently, is that true?
That's a that's a problem that Look, okay, let's just
assume for a second it is true. And I'm not
gonna but he's a Republican, And what's your option voting

(39:04):
for a Democrat. That's not an option anymore. It can't
be an option. It comes down to Democrat versus Republican,
no matter what Shared Brown or any of his people say.
That's what this is coming down to, because the difference
is so vast between the two parties. Because the destruction
that the other side, that the Democrats are are inflicting
upon your town, your county, your state, and this country

(39:28):
is so terrible we cannot allow them to continue to
be in power anymore. That's really what it boils down to. So, folks,
it all sums up in the one really easy sentence,
don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Have a great day, MI take care Tom, great hearing
from you invested the you and the crew. I know
the answer to the attack ad from Shared Brown on
this you know Bernie allegedly ripping off his employees and
Bill Biden with me just for a moment. Here, I'll
take your phone call. Here is the response from the
Marino camp. I asked for it at the Northeast Republican
Women's luncheon that I attended. Mention that quite a few

(40:00):
times I was there. It was a brilliant, brilliant lunch
in great presentations, but they were Miraino folks were there
and I said, we need an answer this question. I
haven't seen a response in the Mareno camp on this
attack ad, which really raises eyebrows when you hear it.
We'll call it effective. Bernie owned fifteen automobile dealerships. One
of them was in Massachusetts. Federal law then and now

(40:23):
exempts commissioned salespeople from overtime. In twenty nineteen, after Bernie
sold that Massachusetts dealership. After he sold it, the Massachusetts
Supreme Court ruled in contradiction to federal law, changing the
law and concluding that overtime portion of a commissioned salesperson
draw could not be deducted from their monthly bonus. Two

(40:47):
of the multiple salespeople that worked at that Massachusetts dealership,
sued two of them. They never punched in or out.
Their paycheck stated forty hours worked, and the employee manual
did not allow overtime without written permission. And in spite
of all that, a Boston jury determined the exact amount
of the overtime they allegedly worked over three and a
half years and awarded a few thousand dollars in compensation

(41:10):
the rest of the judgment attorney's fees. So ask yourself
this question. If you have no timesheets, there's no record
other than forty hours a week work, how could a
jury determine this specific amount of overtime that these couple
of employees work over a period of three and a
half years. And most notably that the Massachusetts court changed
the law and ignored federal law. So obviously complicated, it

(41:33):
takes a lot to explain that it's not something you
can do in a response ad, and response ads quite
often are rejected as a concept because they acknowledge and
elevate this allegation to a higher level than it's worthy of.
That's basically shared around stretching and reaching as far as
he or his political action committees can go, and trying

(41:54):
to find something something to make you concern about Bernie Moreno,
given his superior quot qualifications and obviously not being a
far left woke democrat like Sheared Brown. Bill, Thanks for
calling this morning, Thanks for buying your time there. Well,
I got that out of my system. Welcome to the
Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
Yeah. So, if Kamara Harris becomes president and flip flops
back to her original positions, is this such a thing
in the United States? Is that presidential recall emction?

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Not? To my knowledge, No, No, I've read the Constitution
a few times. There's no provision that there other than
an impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors, which thus far
we haven't seen any yet. And we' of course know
all politicians lie, which is why I can't believe anybody
in America is giving her a pass on her flip flops.
We know what she literally promoted and ran on as

(42:45):
a candidate for president. We know how she ran her
operation out in California. We know the organizations that she
supported and belonged to. We know her position on defunding
the police and working with those bail organizations to bow
out evil guys who were locked up on bail because
they were dangerous to society and a flight risk. We
know about her position on green energy, we know her
position on fracking. I mean, we can go on and on,

(43:08):
stated out loud, on the record, positions that she held
for years and years, which magically in only a few
months period of times she's able to flip flop on
and get away with it. For a large part, not
here in the morning show, not in the hearts and
minds of most of my listeners, to pay attention to politics,
understanding that politicians will lie through their teeth to get
elected only to do something completely opposite of what they

(43:29):
ran on. It's insanity, folks, absolute insanity, real quick here.
I hate to bring in matters personal, but I had
mentioned previously and I had a lot of my friends,
a lot of my listeners. Pat called in yesterday said
she was praying for me. So the morning show's over
yesterday nine am, and I look, and I knew someone
had tried to call me while I was doing the

(43:52):
morning show. I never pick up the phone while I'm
on the air. So lo and behold, it's a message
from my cancer doctor. She said, I have the results
of your image scanning. We need to talk and since
she called me at eight o'clock in the morning, I
knew it was not going to be good news, and
it wasn't. So later in the day I had a
conversation with her. Yes, my lymphoma has returned. My lymphoes

(44:13):
have gotten larger in my abdomen. I am now going
to have to get a biopsy to find out if
the form of lymphoma has gone from low spectrum to
something more aggressive, and I think that's where her major
concern came from. So not good news, but I'm in
great hands with my OHC doctor and I feel confident that,
you know, I'll get through this one way or another.
I suppose it's in God's hands that I think God's

(44:34):
going to steer my direction in life. But I appreciate
the thoughts and the concerns, and Pat was particularly you
know special that you called in and told me you
were keeping me in your prayers. That means a whole
lot to me. So I'll have updates for you down
the road. I have to schedule the biopsy first, they
had to get the results back from that, and then

(44:54):
doctor Patel and others will determine what my next treatment
protocol is going to be, but appears yes, I will
have to undergo more cancer treatments. But thanks to you,
to everyone who inquired and asked, and who'd been preying
on my behalf or enjoying shodenfreude, there is that possibility.
Because not everybody is a fan of Brian Thomas, his

(45:15):
political philosophies or the fifty five care see Morning show.
I acknowledge that that's quite all right. Differences of opinion
do exist in this world, and that's why I always
welcome phone calls. Here we can share our thoughts and
ideas and hopefully well learn something from them. Chimneycare Fireplaces

(46:44):
I am happy it's Friday. I hope you are as well, David. Oh,
that makes two of us. Anyway, it's an interesting development.
There's so many investigations going on, it's almost impossible to
keep track of me. You got two, you know, assassination investigation.
You have that committee that's looking into the pull of
the weaponization of the government, on and on and on.

(47:05):
You also have the January sixth investigation. We've got some
new transcripts that have come out supported a couple of
days ago. Of course, people blamed Donald Trump for the
riot that occurred the drunken fraternity Party's look. What I
like to describe that as sadly Ashley Babbitt was murdered
deadly force used on her without any justifiable reason. There

(47:27):
is a civil lawsuit and so we talked about that
the other day. This trial set for that in twenty
twenty six, or family suit, the responsible parties in that.
But obviously a bad day. But was it Donald Trump's problem?
And what did Donald Trump do in advance regarding his
concerns over security, Well, he asked for it, as reported
by Justin and his new transcripts show President Trump offered

(47:48):
ordered rather officials to do whatever it takes his words
to protect the capital. On the day of the electoral
votes were counting or being certified out a concern over
the protesters. Transcripts recorded during interviews with top government officials
in the aftermath of January sixth by the Pentagons Inspector General.

(48:08):
One of the key witnesses, Mark Milly, former Chairman of
Joint Chiefs of Staff, during his interview He admitted that
during a meeting on January third, third, President Trump had
already approved the use of the National Guard and active
duty troops to maintain law and order the nation's capital.

Speaker 9 (48:22):
Quote.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
The President just says, hey, look at this, it's going
to be a large amount of protesters coming here on
the sixth. Then make sure that you have sufficient National
Guard or soldiers to make sure it's a safe event.
That's Molly Millie's recitation of what Trump told him. He
then said, Christopher Miller, who was then acting Secretary of Defense,

(48:46):
shared the president of security plans to today. Quote. Miller
responds by saying, Hey, we've got a plan and we've
got it covered, and that's about it.

Speaker 5 (48:56):
Close. Quote.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
During that interview, Millie again confirmed Trump was the one
who insisted on higher security. Quote. It was just what
I described, which was, hey, I don't care if you
use guard or soldiers, activity soldiers, do whatever you have
to do, just make sure it's safe. Again, Millie's boiling
down words that Trump used to ask for these additional
troops and resources. However, when Miller was interviewed by the

(49:20):
Inspector of General, he confessed to refusing to use additional
security get this for fear of political repercussions, corner Miller
during his transcript at the time his testimony, rather, there
was absolutely there is absolutely no way I was putting
US military forces at the capital.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Period.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
Went on to say that officials instead utilized an interagency
process to come up with an alternative plan that would
delegate some DC National Guard troops to the job of
directing traffic but not actually guarding the capital. That proposal
suggested by Washington d Mayor Muriel Browser quote, the operational
plan was this, let's take the DC National Guard, keeping

(50:06):
them away from the capital. Let's put I paused the request.
It was my request, wasn't my request? He said, Bowser
and the Metropolitan Police Department were like, let's put the
DC National Guard on traffic control points at metro stations
to free up credentialed law enforcement officers that could go
out and arrest people. There's that we also have now.

(50:28):
The Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who testified Wednesday,
he did not deny that federal government confidential human resources
were in the crowd during the Capital riot. He was
testifying at that House Select Subcommittee on the webposition of
the federal government. Horowitz was forced to answer questions about

(50:51):
the review from YES Representative Thomas Massey questioned him about
whether federal assets and confidential human sources were present at
the Capitol. It's been a wild widely speculated that the
Feds were there and were in and among the crowd.
Do you have evidence of the number of confidential human
sources that were operating on the Capitol grounds on January sixth,
asked Congressman Massy Horowitz. Duck or dodge, duck, dit dove,

(51:15):
dive and dodge. He five, d's a dotted ball around
that one. Our report will include information in that regard.
This is what we got from the Secret Service. We're
busy building a report. We're putting information together. The port
hasn't hasn't been released yet, So I'm not going to
say how many resources were there, because you know that
number might change. But Massy kept pressing him, and there's

(51:36):
the responses from Horowitz kept coming along the lines of
all have that information in the report. But at the
end he pressed Horowitz further and asked how many confidential
human sources were reimbursed for travel. His response, as I
sit here, I don't recall the number, which is a
veiled way of saying, yes, some were reimbursed, but I
don't remember specifically how many. And then finally, in this

(51:59):
real quickly here the same committee, the Weaponization on the
Federal Government. Marcus Allen, former FBI staff operations specialist, said
that he was deliberately targeted by higher ups for asking
why there were so many federal informants in the crowd.
Was his criticism he testified the FBI question of my

(52:21):
allegiance to the United States, suspended my security clearance, to
spend in my pay, and refused to allow me to
obtain outside employment or even accept charity. So the FEDS
came down hard on him after he sent an email
September twenty first to twenty one which his supervisors claim
contained hyperlinks to what they called extremist propaganda from questionable sources.

(52:43):
Alan during his testimony, there are no words strong enough
to describe the impact the FBI's lies about me have
had on me and my family. This is a warning
the American people. I say, I personally have no confidence
in the FBI, no confidence the FBI will reign in
its own conduct. And then ominously, he had this to say,

(53:03):
my other recommendations are in the natural order. Arm yourself
and know how to defend yourself. Make three or four
friends in your neighborhood and promise to come to each
other's mutual aid. In times of hardship and during the
Great Depression, people stocked up on their pantry, so I
think that's a good practice, especially in our economic times.
And make sure you have three or four months of food.
And he also suggested praying and reading the Bible regularly. Anyway,

(53:28):
it's a slow trickle. The more comes out, more you
realize maybe the fix was in fact in six twenty

Friday to you.

Speaker 10 (54:48):
Thanks Brian, always good to be here. Happy Friday to
you and all your listeners.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
To appreciate that we got Look at Microsoft. This is
deep fake with one photo and one audio track. That's
all takes.

Speaker 10 (55:00):
Now, huh, yeah, this is some wild stuff. So Microsoft's
researchers announced a tool called Vasa one vasa dash one,
and what they've illustrated is they can take one photo.
So it's a lot of times, Brian, when people talk
about deep fakes and voice cloning and you know, all
of this stuff that is increasingly being used for scams.

Speaker 5 (55:21):
I remind folks, I mean well documented.

Speaker 10 (55:23):
This isn't Tenfoil Dave hatters, you know, grand theories of
what could happen. We've now seen examples like the CEO
of Ferrari being deep faked to try to get the
CFO of Ferrari to transfer funds. I mean it's well
documented in the press with comments from the CFO. So
you've got a scenario now where you can take one photo. Well,
where could I get a photo, I don't know, off

(55:45):
your website, off your social media, off your LinkedIn? How
hard would it be to get one photo of a
person in today's world? You know, this isn't forty years
ago when unless you were a celebrity, you might not
have a photo available to the average person. Your photos
everywhere now, right, So again I just want people to
I don't want to overstate that, like we're all going
to be wiped out because of this. But when people say, well,

(56:06):
this could never happen to me, think about how easy
it might be for someone to find your photo. So
one photo, and they can basically feed it into this
model and then use an audio track with it to
basically animate you and make it appear that you're saying
or doing anything someone would want you to do. And
even if this doesn't concern you, I mean, think about
this capability right today. It's one photo and an audio track.

(56:29):
Now they say the audio track would be a separate thing.
It's not a deep fake voice clone at this point,
but I would remind you, Okay, I could use a
second tool. So I find your photo, then I get
your voice. How do I get your voice? Well, I
call your phone. Your phone has a voicemail greeting I'm you.
In less than an hour, I take your voice, I
feed it into another different AI tool, I create whatever

(56:52):
voice track I want of you.

Speaker 5 (56:54):
I take your photo, I feed it into this thing.

Speaker 10 (56:56):
I couple them together, and now I have a deep
fake of you saying anything I want you to say.
I know this probably sounds very far fetched to a
lot of people. But I just I think it's so
important to talk about these things, and I appreciate the
opportunity to talk about them here with you because people
are currently being scammed and I don't know we'll run
out of time. But I did a presentation yesterday for

(57:19):
the Kentucky Lega Cities on AI and social engineering, and
I'm not kidding you, Brian. An individual in the audience
raised her hand and actually told a story where in
her small business she's a city council person some city
down in Kentucky, but in her business life she actually
got voice cloned in a scam where they were trying

(57:40):
to steal money and they used her brother's voice. She
stood up and told this story to a roomfull lit
of about one hundred people. I never met her before,
totally unscripted, And again, I just I can't state enough
to people. While you shouldn't fear this, you need to
be aware of it, and you need to understand through
that awareness that virtually anything that you get electronically now

(58:02):
a phone call, a text, an email, and then any
kind of correspondence that comes as a result, including a
conversation with someone you think you know could be spoofed
aka fake aaka bogus. So you have to be extra skeptical,
extra vagelent and go out of band to confirm stuff
or you're going to get scanned.

Speaker 4 (58:21):
Well, let me just ask you a real quick question.
What to what end is this supposed to be a
valuable technology that they are developing it and making it
so easy for people.

Speaker 10 (58:31):
To fake Brian, I was thinking about that this morning
because I was reviewing this article to talk to you Todayan,
And I can't honestly say, I mean, they don't they
You know. One of the points they make in the
reporting on this technology is that you could have like
an avatar. Okay, that's great, Why do you need that?

Speaker 7 (58:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (58:51):
I honestly can't think of a legitimate reason for.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
This, right, I mean, so it's creative as an opportunity
for people to rip other people off in some way,
shape or form, deceive or otherwise.

Speaker 10 (59:04):
I don't know how else you could see it, because
even if there is, again, if someone can call in
with a legitimate reason, let me know, But I would
argue whatever legitimate reason you could come up with, the
possible illegitimate uses of this would vastly outweigh that.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
Amen, brother, Yeah, Amen, I just don't see it all right.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Let's pause. We'll bring Dave Hadter back to talk about
a local woman who got scanned out of ten thousand dollars.

with interest its Dave pat or final online interest I
dot com. All right, well, you can use a local
story as an illustration of the problems we face out
out there. You got a scam to talk about, Dave.

Speaker 10 (01:02:04):
Yeah, Brian, this is it's a great segue from our
last topic. Now it's not directly connected, but I want
to remind.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
Folks of this idea of spoofing.

Speaker 10 (01:02:15):
When you hear the term spoofing in a technical context,
basically what it's saying is I'm going to take something
and make it look legitimate even though it's not. That
could be an email that you received it appears to
come from an email address, like you know, your email
address there at fifty five KRC. But it's very easy

(01:02:35):
and does not require much technical skill for someone to
send an email to someone else that to the naked eye,
looks like it came from their legitimate email address. You
know a lot of phishing and so forth. They don't
even bother with that, But to add legitimacy, they'll send
an email that appears to have come from a legitimate
source even though it didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
That's easy.

Speaker 10 (01:02:56):
Same thing with the phone number. You can go online
right now and with search and find websites that will
allow you to type in a phone number and make
a call from that number. That is absolutely true. I
guarantee anyone that's listening to you can go do this
right now. I've done it as a test. Okay, So
my point being, just because an email address appears to

(01:03:17):
be an email address that looks legitimate to you, or
a call that you get or a text that you
get appears to come from a legitimate number, there is
no guarantee that is the case. All of the technology
that makes the Internet work was developed in the late
sixties and early seventies, and the underpinning that makes it
work did not account for this kind of security or identification.

(01:03:38):
So it is possible to retrofit this stuff on, but
it causes friction, it takes money, and thus we are
now left with this spoofing problem. So John Mattais did
a story for Channel nine about a woman who lost
ten thousand dollars actually ninety six hundred her whole life savings.
And the reason why I started with the spoofing is
because she got a call on her phone that appeared

(01:04:00):
to be from her bank. She recognized the number. Again,
just because you recognize a number does not mean it's
not frauds. This is very easy to do, right, So
she answers the phone. Of course this is a scammer
on there. They tell her that there's fraudulent activity on
her account. She says, okay, what should I do? And
they say, oh, well, you need to transfer your money

(01:04:22):
to another bank. Now, right off the bat, you should
hang up the phone. No legitimate bank is going to
tell you, yeah, take all of your money out of
our bank and put it in another bank. I mean,
just on the face of it, what bank would do that, right?
They lose money as soon as you do that, because
you might not only do they lose the ability to
loan it and so forth, but you might not come back.

(01:04:43):
So then the caller told her get a prepaid debit card,
transfer the funds to it. What she did, of course
they ask for the number to quote confirm it right,
and then of course they stole all her money. So
the spoofing piece and the so engineering, these things go together.
You throw in AI tools, whether it's voice cloning or

(01:05:05):
just something like chat GPT, where even though I might
not speak English, I can create pros that I can
then plug into a voice cloning tool that will sound
just like a normal you know, your neighbor, just like
your neighbor next door. I cannot overstate how important it
is to understand this idea of spoofing, and that we

(01:05:25):
are now in a place you can no longer trust anything. Really,
you must verify it. If someone is asking you to
transfer money or do anything like this, almost guaranteed it's
a scam. Hang up, get out your bank statement, go
to your bank's website. Don't click any links they sent
you don't use any numbers they gave you, because they'll
have scammers waiting to answer the phone who will know
the names of people. There might even have voice cloned

(01:05:48):
someone that you've talked to before you pick up the phone.
You go to their website, you initiate the transaction, and
you know, go from there, log in and check your account.
See as they're missing money, right, But they catch you
off guard and tell you some terrible thing is going
to happen. They make it look legit, so that right
off the bat you're assuming it must be true, and

(01:06:08):
they suck you through the vortex before you have a
chance to really stop and go, wait a minute, this
doesn't feel right.

Speaker 4 (01:06:14):
Yeah, so that's good at that.

Speaker 10 (01:06:16):
It's the awareness, it's the skepticism, it's the stop, think,
take a breath, hang up, verifying your And unfortunately, it
looks like this woman did not get her money back
because the bank said, well, you know, you transfer the
money yourself.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
How can you prove to us it's a scam.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
Well, yeah, I gotta side with a bank on that one.

Speaker 10 (01:06:33):
She's out ninety six hundred for what it's worth. Her
family set up a GoFundMe account if someone wants to help.
You can read this story from Channel nine. Woman loses
the life savings of almost ten thousand dollars to bank scam.
So yeah, I just spoofing and social engineering are a
powerful force. And when you couple things like voice cleaning
with it, I understand how people get scam So again, awareness, vigilance, skepticism,

(01:06:57):
break out your ten fol hat people.

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
Well that's what I've got, Dave. And fun fact for today.
The number that you see which says it's coming from
your son or daughter or loved one literally shows up
on your text, on your on your caller ID as
coming from that may not really be coming from that number.

Speaker 10 (01:07:14):
And Brian, thanks to these giant data breaches like the
National Public Data breach, it's easy for me to find
people's phone numbers.

Speaker 4 (01:07:19):
Yeah, that's all over the place.

Speaker 10 (01:07:21):
Find a legitimate number for me to call you from
using this.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
Spoofing technique that's all over the place.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
Great, not the phone to anybody now, Dave, scare the
hell out of me every week, Thanks very much, but
it is valuable information. That's okay, we'll pause, we'll bring
it back to talk about social media companies spying on
you due to lack of safeguards. More with Dave Hatter
after this brief.

Speaker 6 (01:07:41):
Words fifty five KRC six fifty to.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Fifty five kr CD talk station. Well more with Tech
Friday's Dave Hatter. Again thanks to Interest I for sponsoring
it Interust dot com. So in social media companies are
spying on us. I think we've learned that from you, Dave,
over the years. Are you there, I'm still here. Okay, Joe,

(01:08:06):
didn't turn the volume up or something.

Speaker 5 (01:08:07):
Now I hear you now, no problem.

Speaker 10 (01:08:09):
So yeah, I know this comes as a shocker to everyone,
and I think we recently discussed the fact that it
has now been well documented that a company that works
with people like Google and Facebook claims to be listening
to your phone as part of their pitch deck. So
you know, if you've wondered, are they listening to me,
the answer now is yes, even though Facebook and Google
still allege that they're not doing this because I guess

(01:08:32):
plausible liability to their partner.

Speaker 5 (01:08:35):
Anyway.

Speaker 10 (01:08:35):
Yeah, so we've known for a long time, and I
just want to remind folks again and again and again.
If you're not paying with money, you're paying with data.
You are the product, not the customer. These companies aren't
building all this stuff for you out of the goodness
of their heart. Right, they got mortgages and car loans
and they need to eat too. They are collecting enormous
amounts of your data and they're monetizing it to the

(01:08:57):
tune of billions. And I'm not saying that that in
and of its is necessarily bad. What I don't like
about all of this is the average person does not
understand what they're signing up for in the terms of service.
They don't understand the enormous amounts of extremely granular and
specific data they're collecting about you. I will say again,
go look at the privacy label in the Apple app Store.

(01:09:20):
Pick any app that you've installed on your device, especially
one like TikTok, and look at the privacy label, and
then ask yourself, why would it want to collect essentially
every single piece of information that's available.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
On my phone.

Speaker 10 (01:09:34):
So if you fully understand the kind of information they're
collecting and how it can potentially be used against you,
even like I go apply for a job somewhere and
the company does a background check on me, and the
background check company has merged in data for my social
media and my apps and perhaps erroneously might not even
be right, and they're making a decision about whether I'd

(01:09:55):
be a good employer or not, or a good insurance
risk or not because of data that might not even
be right. That's one of the many ways this could
be used against you. When people say, well, I don't
have nothing to hide. Okay, if you fully understand that
you have informed consent and you still choose to use
these things, well, okay, good for you, right. I mean,
I understand the convenience of this stuff. I understand the

(01:10:16):
allure of it, but I don't think most people really
understand the trade off they're making and that the potential
risk to them. Then throw in things like this national
public data data breach, and the more information there is
out there about you, the easy it is to fool you,
to impersonate you, to spoof you. So all of that said, yeah,
FTC staff report finds large social media and video streaming

(01:10:38):
companies have engaged in vast surveillance of users, relaxed privacy controls,
and anequate safeguards for kids and teens. I'm reading that
from the FTC's website. That's not reporting on it. So
Here's what they say. Staff report examines the data collected
and the use and use practices of major social media
and video streaming shows they engage in vast surveillance of
consumers in order to monetize their personal information, while failing

(01:11:01):
to adequately protect users online, especially children and teens. Here's
another direct quote from the FTC chair. The report lays
out how social media and video streaming companies harvest an
enormous amount of American's personal data and monetize it to
the tune of billions. Goes on to say, you know,
the failure to protect kids and teens as online especially

(01:11:21):
as troubling. And then it gets into a lot more detail.
I encourage people to read this. I encourage people to
share it with their friends and family, and then then
think real hard about does it make sense to have
all these apps on your phone. You know, you can
still use Facebook if you want. Just get a privacy
friendly browser like Brave, turn on all the privacy settings,

(01:11:44):
and then when you log in and use Facebook, it
will be able to collect a very small amount of
information about you, primarily only whatever you explicitly give it.
If you access it over the web through a lockdown
browser versus the Facebook app on your phone, which is
essentially like a hoover sucking up everything out of your phone.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
Yeah, the phone, say, would be the biggest problem, you know,
when you download. Yeah, when you download any app, they
tell you we need you're gonna give us permissions for
the following, And that's that's the default for me. If
they ask for a bunch of permissions, it always raises
a red flag. I won't use the app. I mean,
you know, I've made it fifty nine years of my life,
mostly most of that time without any apps at all.

(01:12:23):
And I know some of them are valuable, and some
of them are time you know, savers, and they can
be fun or whatever. I'm with you on that, but
you know, I figure my life will be just fine
without uh, without giving up all that privacy and all
that information.

Speaker 10 (01:12:36):
Well, I couldn't agree with you more, Brian. And again
I'm not in many cases some of the things you
might want to use for whatever reason, if you can
use it through a web browser. Through the web, you
can more or less protect a lot more of your
privacy than you can once you install the app. I mean,
you know, once you ask yourself, you download the new

(01:12:56):
flashlight app. Why does it need to know your location?
Why does it need to access to your contact? But
how does that help you? Right, So, the less apps
you have, the better. You know, on my Apple phone,
other than the apps that were installed on it by Apple,
I have about five apps installed that are related primarily
to work, and other than that, I have virtually nothing
on there. And if I am going to use something

(01:13:18):
like Facebook, I do have a Facebook account, I promote
the show for example. Yeah, again, I'm using a browser
like Brave, I've got all the privacy settings turned on,
and you know, I go on Facebook, I promote the
show for example, I might spend a minute or two
strolling around and then you know what, I close Facebook
and I don't see it again for days. They're getting
the minimal amount of information out of me, and I'm

(01:13:40):
getting the value that I want out of it in
a way that to most for the most part, protects
my privacy. So there are ways to address these things,
but yes, less apps are better. I encourage people go
read this report for yourself and especially think about it
from the perspective of your kids, and yeah, get rid
of this garbage. The sooner the better. And if you're
going to use it, do it in the privacy for

(01:14:02):
the ways. There's plenty of online help that can explain
this stuff to you. Don't even need a nerdy friend
like me, and we'll all be better off, not only
because you'll have less information out there that can be
used against you, can be used to impersonate to et cetera.
But you know, well, we'll choke off the flow of
money to these people and eventually hopefully break out of
this surveillance capitalism model.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
I think live in a.

Speaker 10 (01:14:25):
World where if I want to use something, I just
pay for it and they've protect my privacy and my
security because it's part of the model where I pay
versus all bets are off. And when you read this report, Brian,
that says in there some of these companies they don't
even know who.

Speaker 5 (01:14:39):
They're sharing your data with anymore.

Speaker 10 (01:14:41):
Right, it's so voluminous once they collect it, they don't
even know who's getting it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
And they don't and they don't care who's getting it. Honestly,
it's a vehicle from making money. I understand.

Speaker 10 (01:14:49):
Long is the green keeps rolling in, that's all they
care about.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
Interest it dot com where you find Dave and the crew.
Thank you, Dave for the valuable information you pass along
each and every week. Frightening as it may be, it's real,
it's sound, it's genuine, and you should take them up

I t coming up in studio. Bring him account from

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
You guys don't exactly happen on a schedule.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
Look the latest talk days do at the top of

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
This report is I don't know I missed it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
News is happening fast. Jeep up fifty five KRC the
talk station seven oh six. Here at fifty five KRC

(01:15:48):
the talk station. All right, so Ima switching you a
very happy Friday and welcoming back into the fifty five
KRC Morning show studio. Bring him account from the Hudson
and Study. You can find him on line at Hudson
dot org. He's a senior Fellow and director there of
the Innovation on American Energy Security at Hudson and Student.
That's where we're talking about today energy policy. He's got
three decades at domestican foreign policy experience, served in key

(01:16:09):
position with an industry, government, and the military, recently responsible
for running one of the world's most complex energy transportation
infrastructure networks, the Trans Alaska Pipeline System. I also served
as a regulatory co chair of the federal Government's Commercial
Space Advisor Committee senior executive appointments while working for both
political parties during the three administrations, so he's seen it all.

Speaker 4 (01:16:33):
He's also a professor at Miami University, where he teaches
graduate and undergraduate courses in law, policy, and ethics. Break him,
it's always a pleasure having in the studio.

Speaker 5 (01:16:41):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
I hope you're doing well.

Speaker 9 (01:16:42):
Hi, am Bryan.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
It's great to see him. And I understand we have
a lot of energy to talk about, and it's been
the subject matter. I mean, obviously I talk about energy
problems policies, and they're seemingly divorced from reality nature given
this green revolution we're being forced to undergo. So we've
got a lot of topics to talk about. But this
this energy policy took you to Hungary recently.

Speaker 12 (01:17:06):
Yeah, sure did. Was in Hungary last week and attending
a geopolitical conference put on by several organizations, you know,
primarily because Central and Eastern Europe are not on board
with the green energy transition being pushed by Germany and
a couple others.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Oh, I thought they were all lockstep in, locked in
arm and arm, marching forward toward a green new world. Brigham, Yeah,
you would think that. But you know, when you drill
into it. Europe, like the US, it's not monolithic, right,
and people have different perspectives, and for especially those that
used to be under the boot of the Soviet Union,

(01:17:47):
they have a different perspective on life. I imagine living
under the boot of oppression that long, they might be jaded, cynical,
and not have a whole lot of confidence in their
government lords and masters.

Speaker 12 (01:17:58):
Well, I think the term we use in foreign policy
and political speak is they're realists.

Speaker 10 (01:18:05):
Hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
Well, let's put this realism to the test. I noted
that when you were there, and you've got quite a
few notes for me to rely on, which I appreciate
because it's hard enough keeping track of everything that's going
on here in the United States, let alone what's going
on the European Union. But I understand that you were told,
or the German citizen who was told by their gases

(01:18:27):
are whoever, their energies are that, Well, we don't need
natural gas anymore.

Speaker 12 (01:18:31):
Yeah, that's right, despite the fact that I was just
looking at carbon emissions. If we want to use that
as a measuring stick.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
Well that's what they like to do, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:18:40):
Well, you know that's fascinating because remember we used to
talk about pollution and how pollution is harmful to one's health, right, Yeah,
I think we all agree with that, no doubt about it.
And then we start talking about greenhouse gases and there's
not one greenhouse gas. There's a little more than a
half a dozen. But suddenly we just started talking about
on youurine house gas.

Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
Yeah, carbon dioxide, right, plant food.

Speaker 9 (01:19:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:19:04):
Well, the reason is we're actually cleaning up the world.
You know, we have the best air and water qualities
since the Industrial Revolution, or at least since the United
States started keeping data on this. Right, you can actually
swim in rivers, the Cuyahoga doesn't catch fire, you can
actually see, you can.

Speaker 4 (01:19:23):
Eat the fish out of Lake Erie, you can you
can walleye. You like the walleye absolutely, Okay, then walleye
fishing quite a few times in my life in Lake Erie.
But it used to be basically sludge. I mean there
was a Saturday night live routine about you know, Lake
Erie water and had you know, chunks and it was
a little of like jelly and they were putting it
in bottles. So, you know, fresh from Lake Erie natural water, unfiltered. Yeah,

(01:19:47):
I do remember, yeah, I mean you know at the time,
people you know, up and down, you know, the CIRCLA
and and and the clean up sites and the expense
and the cost. But you know, for years and years
and years, companies literally poured like benzene right in to
the ground, benzenees of carcinogen. We don't want that anymore.
I get the idea, but those are identifiable pollutants, identifiable
pollutants manufacturing byproducts or products, and they cause cancer for example.

(01:20:12):
And fine carbon dioxide we exhale that and plants eat it.
I mean, there's nothing demonstrably wrong with it. Yeah, you know,
there's not. And people that are more of the more
that you know. I'm not a scientist or an environmental engineer,
but people will tell you that the carbon dioxide levels

(01:20:33):
in this in the world used to be a lot higher.
And actually, if we if we slim down and look.

Speaker 12 (01:20:39):
At it, it is a minor component in the atmosphere,
and human activity is responsible for less than one percent.
So in fact, I think it's point one six or
somebody's gonna go, oh no, that's not right. But the
point is it's very small. And so yeah, you have
this German climates are they're John carry except Waite. Her name,

(01:21:04):
by the way, and I've met her before. She's invited
kind enough to invite me to a meeting. But her
name is Jennifer Morgan. That sounds so Deutsch, doesn't it. Yeah, Oh,
she's an American Morgan. Yeah, yeah, she is an American
born dual citizen, Jennifer Lee Morgan and former head of

(01:21:25):
Greenpeace International.

Speaker 4 (01:21:26):
Oh no, she's not biased at all.

Speaker 12 (01:21:28):
No, no, no, So she was traveling to Canada because
Canada has a liberal government right now, and I think
most forecasters say that's gonna switch after the next election.
Justin trudeauz a good kid, but you know, time for
adults to get back in charge at Canada too. So
she said, by the way, we're warned that Germany and

(01:21:49):
Europe will require less natural gas from countries like Canada.
Germany will be driving toward Ford on a renewables and
we don't need your natural gas anymore, So don't invest.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
Are they planning on going nuclear power? Because last time
I check, we all know the problems associated with solar
and wind. Sometimes yes, it does produce electricity, but a
lot of times it doesn't because wind's not blown and
the sun's not shining. Problems, problems, problems, problems. Are they
not going to have data centers in Germany because as
you and I both know, these artificial intelligent data centers
are what is renewing the demand for nuclear power in

(01:22:26):
our country. I know you had the article and I
talked about it earlier in the program. This week, they're
opening back up Three Mile Island for the basically because
of artificial intelligence data center demands. Isn't that the one
Microsoft's involved with it is? Okay, So Microsoft's building a
giant data center and there's not enough power for the
citizenry to add additional what they're going to be using

(01:22:49):
twenty percent of the available's power or whatever, So let's
open three Mile Island.

Speaker 12 (01:22:54):
Yeah, so we need more energy, not less, and I
think one of the things that's going to sort of
bring into start contrasts this notion because green energy, and
this is something I talked about in Hungary green energy,
we've never before, Brian had an energy transition where we've
gone from a fuel source that gives us more energy

(01:23:15):
to a fuel source that gives us less energy, less density,
right the evolution. Yes, and that's what we're talking about.
And it's not going to work because the world has
never used in our entire history, minus war and COVID
less energy. It's not a thing. We use more energy
the earth. The world uses almost fifty percent more energy

(01:23:35):
now than we did just twenty years ago. It's not
a thing you cannot conserve your way to nirvana. No,
in every good and service requires energy. There are more
people on the globe now compared to twenty thirty years ago,
one hundred years ago, I mean billions more So, even
if you don't develop new energy consuming technologies or things

(01:23:58):
that people need to live, the amount of needed energy
is going to increase necessarily simply because the population increases.

Speaker 4 (01:24:04):
Absolutely.

Speaker 12 (01:24:05):
And we currently have four billion people around the world
living not only in poverty, but below what the UN
even says is an acceptable level of energy, and they
want what we have. They see how wonderful it is,
and they want it for themselves.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
Well, and by virtue of the globalization we're going through,
they see, sure as hell hell bend for leather to
take it from us, whether we want to do it
or not. By for example, the proposals from the UN
the other day with mandatory taxation, mandatory minimum confiscation of
a percentage of gross domestic product.

Speaker 12 (01:24:43):
You know, it's global wealth redistribution. Well, yeah, that's exactly
what it is. And you know, America has gotten to
where it is today not by taking other people's stuff,
but by developing our own. That American exceptionalism. And I
think when you look at energy, next to the cost
of raw materials and labor people, energy is the magic

(01:25:07):
ingredient that makes a country prosperous or makes a country weak.

Speaker 9 (01:25:13):
And we don't.

is energy poor yet rich. Doesn't exist, can't exist. Springham

you were in Hungry delivering a speech on energy policy. Obviously,
the Germans seems a scotch misguided thinking they can live

(01:27:57):
without any natural gas at all. Are they still getting
that from Russia?

Speaker 12 (01:28:02):
They are, in fact they're importing liquefied natural gas since
somebody did something to a couple of pipelines that was
bringing all of the natural gas to Germany, and for
maybe let's revisit that for a second. The Nordstream system
Nordstream one and two is an Angla Merkel project to
bring massive amounts of natural gas into Germany to power

(01:28:23):
the German economy and all that went up with the
twenty two Russian invasion Almosid Soviet.

Speaker 4 (01:28:30):
Is it the same thing? No, it's not. Okay.

Speaker 12 (01:28:32):
The Russian invasion of.

Speaker 4 (01:28:34):
They would like you to believe it is the same thing,
but no, it's not the same thing.

Speaker 7 (01:28:38):
No.

Speaker 12 (01:28:38):
By the way, do you know that the Russian Empire
right now, their GDP is equivalent to that of Italy.

Speaker 4 (01:28:45):
Boy, there's a real milestone there. Italy. Italy. Yeah, they're
a powerhouse. Well you know what, Italy's going to soon
pass up Germany baseball. What you're telling you this morning,
Well they are because this is the thing. Despite this
green energy transition, what has been underlying it for all
these is cheap Russian oil and gas, and it slowed
to a trickle. And what you've seen is energy prices

(01:29:08):
dramatically rise in Germany and lack of investment in industry
folding up and leaving the country. That does happen, doesn't it?

Speaker 12 (01:29:17):
It does because again, you know, I can't emphasize this enough.
Energy prices matter, and if renewables were actually cheaper, if
putting a windmill up or something else made sense, people.

Speaker 4 (01:29:34):
Would do it, clearly, I mean, there's no question about that.
But the only reason anybody does it now is because
it comes with dangling carrots from the government incentives, you know,
discount loans, or freebies or cash infusions, tax ride offs
or write downs. It's a fake way of creating something
that seems reasonable, and yet it is a deficit inspiring.

(01:29:58):
It is a government expanding reality. Yeah it is.

Speaker 12 (01:30:01):
And I think you know from a Hudson and Stute standpoint,
one of the things that worries me is and I'm
not saying that windmills or solar panels are bad by
all means. They have their place, but they have their
place in the toolbox. But just like you can't use
a hammer for everything you do around your house, although
I've tried before, it doesn't work. You need different tools
for different projects. That's the same thing with our energy mix.

(01:30:24):
You do need different tools, but you can't get there
just on one piece. So if we were actually serious
about this, instead of saying you must use this energy,
not that energy, government regulators should be more like referees. Hey,
here is the goal, no pun intended. We want to
reduce X, we want to promote Y. You guys figure

(01:30:46):
out how to do it, and we'll make sure nobody's
cheating and level the playing field. The government should be
the referee, not the micromanager.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
Yes, but in a green energy focus discussion. These all
require manufacturing, for example, batteries, so as they go back
to batteries because China apparently is corn in the market
and literally everything you need to create a battery and
also manufacturing. Now I know we're building manufacturing capacity here.

(01:31:16):
It takes a little time, but the key ingredients are
still coming from China. They are Yeah, so we are
building China's economy and resources and buy a corollary military,
because we have to buy everything that this forced green
economy has pushed on us and it comes from China.

Speaker 12 (01:31:35):
Our hard earned dollars are going to China. We're losing money,
they're gaining money. And the corollary is if we look
back to the Arab oil embargo of seventy five and
how America went from energy abundance during World War Two
to scraping, bagging, pleading with Opek for a little oil.

(01:31:58):
It weakened us economically, It weakened our security, It weakened
our standing in the world. Where you have energy dominance,
energy security, energy abundance, you have what we call hard
power and soft power. You can convince people to do things,
and your economy is strong. And what we're trading and

(01:32:21):
having now reached energy and dependence. There are people that
want to take us back to the past. But it's
not OPEC. It's going to be China that we're dependent
upon for everything we do. That's a terrible plan.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
Well that seems to be. You know, after COVID, it
was a bunch of eyes finally opened up to that reality.
From masks to pharmaceuticals to medical equipment, at literally everything
it was because China was supplying it. We had no
local manufacturers or resource to provide us with much needed
equipment and goods.

Speaker 12 (01:32:52):
Right, I mean, you know, globalization, it's given us cheaper stuff.
We all like cheap stuff, but you know, look around
your house, look at your Amazon or next time, how
much of it comes from anywhere other than China. And
people are starting to wake up because China steals every design. Yeah,
they take everything that we've been given because in their
culture there is no such thing as private property interest.

Speaker 4 (01:33:14):
It's all it's all for the people's property, that's right. See,
that's where politics centers into the equation, providing them with
a straight faced justification for stealing from US. Seven twenty

Friday to you. Brian Thomas with Brigham McCowan in studios,
Senior Fellow, Director of Initiative on American Energy Energy Security
at the Hudson Institute Energy Security Security. That's an interesting there,
Brigham Acown, because we don't seem to really have much security,
and as the population of the world increased, as you
mentioned before, obviously necessarily the amount of electricity we need

(01:36:09):
is going to increase. Without electricity, you don't have any
form of well standard of living, right, I mean the
countries without plumbing, for example, you need pumps. The pump
water pumps are driven by electricity, right, you know you
want air conditioning because place is hotter than hell, You're
gonna need air conditioning. Electricity, I mean state in the obvious,
but it's just it's inextricably intertwined with everything we do.

Speaker 9 (01:36:32):
It really is.

Speaker 12 (01:36:33):
And you know, I think we've taken for granted for
at least as long as I've been around. You flip
the light switch and it's gonna come on. Yeah, it works, right.
You go to the gas station, eh, most of the
time anyway, there's gas in the pump. You go places,
it just all works. And I think that's the complacency
that worries me certainly, is that we've taken it for granted.

(01:36:56):
But you know, look at the price of the pump,
Look at what electricity rates are, Look where things are headed.

Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
Well in the electricity rates are going to go up again.
I presume the Public Utility Commission of how it is
going to prove the duke energy rate increase. Now they'll
stand back and say, well, it's only an extra one
hundred and thirty bucks over three years or whatever. But
we've seen a precipitous increase in electricity prices, and what
they need this rate increase for part of which, anyway,
I know, is to deal with for green energy. They

(01:37:25):
want to buy some of these massive battery storage facilities
or create battery storage facilities. So when the wind is
blowing and electricity is being generated by that windmill, they
get to put it into a battery, and then when
the inevitable happens and the wind stops blowing and electricity
is not being produced, they go hook it up to
the battery.

Speaker 9 (01:37:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:37:43):
You know, the problem with that is if we took
all battery capacity in the United States, plugged it all in,
got it all ready, assumed it was all working, and
we turned everything off, it would last a couple of seconds.
It's not a viable alternate, and it's extremely expensive when
you have right nuclear power, where you have natural gas

(01:38:10):
fired electricity generators, when you have other means that are
far cheaper. You know, the government is trying to turn
the utilities into an extension of the government, and the
utilities are like, hey, we have to do this because
the government's requiring it, and nobody cares because they just
it's passed the buck. It's passed the buck to you,
it's passed the buck to me. Where are the only

(01:38:31):
ones that are ultimately going to feel the pinch. Everything
else just to pass through.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
Well, it's well like my comment on taxes on corporation,
those evil money making entities that employ everybody. The more
you tax them, the more expensive the products or services
they provide are going to be. It's a pass through.
It's a pass through part of doing business like anything else.

Speaker 12 (01:38:51):
Yeah, And I think that's one of the concerns I
have with some folks in government and some folks that
want to continue to be in government, is that there
is this notion that corporations are rich, that they all
have money trees out back of their headquarters. This doesn't exist.
This is a fallacy, and you know, sadly it can
make us out of mind. Are we going to be

(01:39:12):
competitive in the world? Are we going to be uncompetitive
in the world. Because if we want to be competitive,
if we want to be exceptional, if we want to
house the data centers, if we want to be at
the top of our game, then we better have good
people that are educated. We need to figure out a
way to extract more raw materials, and we better have
cheap energy prices. It's that simple. It's really not hard.

Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
It's not hard, but that concept as sellable as is
to anybody in my listening audience, Like, well, no kidd,
we want to be competitive, no kidding, we want to
be the best, no kidding, we want to be the strongest.
That is not the mindset of the many, many, many
people in government elected and otherwise. They don't want us
to be the strongest nation in the world. They don't
want us to be the most successful. We are an

(01:39:56):
illustration in their mind of something that is evil and
should be avoided because we're rapacious, we use too many resources,
we're too successful, and damn it, we've got too much stuff.
We need to share it with the rest of the
world because of our success.

Speaker 12 (01:40:08):
Yeah, and to your point, the people that are saying this,
I call them members of the global cocktail Club, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
They they're they're curs in the private jet of their
yacht and uh and humph and complain about the little
people and their carbon production and the masses and what
needs to be done to them to get them under
their thumb.

Speaker 12 (01:40:28):
Yeah, yes, yes, that that that is the bottom line.
And you know, where there is independence, whether it's energy independence,
financial independence, whatever you want to talk about. You have choices,
you have power, you have literally personal independence. That's what
we want. That's what we want for all Americans. That's

(01:40:49):
what at least that's what we want for all Americans.
And uh, you know, the people running the government, most
of them have never had a private sector job and
their entire life. And that is the problem. When I
go to Europe, people have alphabet soup behind their name,
and I'll say, say, so, where have you worked? And
you know what, it's academia, it's government, it's nonprofits. There's

(01:41:12):
no private sector experience. And I bet you ran into

get it out, Brigham.

Speaker 5 (01:44:04):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:44:05):
It is a Friday. But let me pivot over a
nuclear We talked earlier, just briefly about the idea of
reopening one of the reactors at three Mile Island for
the purposes of providing Microsoft adequate electricity for its artificial
intelligence center. Other artificial intelligence centers are popping up elsewhere
they similarly need these energy demands. And so now it

(01:44:26):
seems that it has opened up the door to consideration
of nuclear power.

Speaker 7 (01:44:31):
Oh lo.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
And behold, all the time they've been pushing us to
rely on a windmill, I'm screaming over here, what about
nuclear power? It doesn't produce the carbon that they're so
worried about. The new modern nuclear plants are what they
call modular, which means one size fits all. It doesn't
have to be individually designed and created for any specific location.
It's like legos. You just pick a space, pop it down.

(01:44:54):
We can deal with the waste. There's not that much
waste overall that comes from nuclear power. I mean, it's
it's document. They had the yucka Mountain thing. They could
have stored all the nuclear waste in the entire country
for one hundred years and never would have been filled.
Whatever the stats are the way. Okay, see you years ago.
Tell me I'm wrong. Is that anything I said wrong?

Speaker 12 (01:45:13):
No, you're absolutely right. I need a national depository and
we have one.

Speaker 4 (01:45:17):
Okay, Now moving over, our discussion about the political reality
behind the Green New Deal is that we're too powerful.
We need to redistribute our wealth, and we have too
much stuff. What about these third world countries? We need
to offshore money and develop them. Nuclear power here in
the United States would eradicate the ability to bring us

(01:45:41):
to our knees Economically. We would have all the power
we want. We could be the most powerful, mighty energy
producer on the planet, and we wouldn't be producing a
single ounce or molecule of carbon dioxide. That's why they
don't want it.

Speaker 12 (01:45:55):
All right, let me give you this is very complicated.
Let me give you a very complicated answer. Yes, so
I've been right all along and in my conclusions. Yeah,
and it lies in the face of the reality of
what they really want, which is to bring us down.

Speaker 9 (01:46:10):
It does.

Speaker 12 (01:46:11):
And you know, I've got this handy app here. I
was just looking Germany right now. Right now, in Germany,
about eighty percent of their electricity is from cold generation
at the moment. Let's go next door to France. Uh,
they're about sixty percent nuclear. Oh, look at this. France

(01:46:34):
is ninety nine percent low carbon producing electricity right.

Speaker 4 (01:46:39):
Now because nuclear.

Speaker 12 (01:46:41):
It's nuclear, and they have one of the cheapest rates.
Their citizens enjoy a very cheap electricity. Sure, they're more
expensive to build on the front end, but these things
last a long time. Fifty years. We can build one
hundred year reactor. Now it's just a matter of updating it.
So yeah, uh, you know, I think in retrospect, we've
had a couple of things go on. Three Mile Island

(01:47:03):
certainly is something that people remember, and it's not that
reactor they're restarting, it's the one next one next to it,
right and then modern nuclear actors are different than the
type they had a three mile island.

Speaker 3 (01:47:14):
If they're different.

Speaker 12 (01:47:15):
When somebody says three mile island Chernobyl Fukushima, we go, well, yeah,
that's like saying I want a nineteen sixty five International
Harvester SUV truck thing. It's it's different today, and they're
far safer, they use far less uranium or uranium drive products.

(01:47:39):
And it's really where we ought to be headed. But
we have an agency that's supposed to permit nuclear facilities
that has spent its entire life as an agency trying
not to permit.

Speaker 4 (01:47:50):
Any exactly exactly, and then the environmental lawsuits come in
in these last ten years, and then they have a
change in permitting because somebody in government says no, no,
you need to reapply, and it starts the process all
over again. So from start to finish you look at
it almost like two decades to get a nuclear power
plant build. That's the administrative state standing in the way.

Speaker 12 (01:48:09):
It absolutely is in Poland, for example, and in Hungary
a couple other places. They're also moving toward nuclear power.
In the South Koreans, the Japanese and others are actually
getting those contracts because they can actually build a nuclear
plant in a couple of years and we can do
the same. And one of the proposals we've looked at

(01:48:29):
at Hudson I'll talk more about this on my next
episode of Charged Conversations the podcast, is we can license
two or three different types of reactors, different sizes, and
once they're licensed, you just build the same one. That's
the point WIT trying to tweak it. You have a license,

(01:48:50):
you build it. But these data centers Brian can require
anywhere from one to five gigawatts gigawatts. This isn't like
back to the future. This is real energy. That could
be two to four nuclear plants just to power a
five gigawatt facility.

Speaker 4 (01:49:08):
And if AI is the future and we don't have
the energy to power AI facilities, I guess they're going
to be in China, then, aren't they. It's the answer
for everything. It apparently is one more at Briga McAllan
some forty seven fifty five ks of detalk station and
foreign exchange there to fix your car for less money.
So if they have the ports shut down that this
strike goes through, that you might want to hurry up

(01:49:30):
and get your car fixed now. Because they say there
will be a shortage of automobile repair parts. And that's
for everybody. I'm just warning you ahead of time because
that strike may take place in early October. But moving
away from that, get your car fixed for less, all
things being equal, that's Foreign Exchange. You get a great
mechanic ass these certified master technician working on your car.
You'll leave with a full warranty on parts and service.

(01:49:51):
You have the confidence of that full warranty and the
team at Foreign Exchange standing behind it. And you don't
pay as much, sometimes substantially less money compared to the dealer.
And that's what Foreign Exchange is all about, delivering on
quality service while charging you less, so save money. Head

on my blog page FT five Carcy dot com. Have
a great weekend, Lisa Baker, God bless you and everybody
on this Insant Police Department pivoty back over Charged Conversations
Brigham and I bring him agwn from the Hudson and
Who've been talking energy posse all hour. It's fascinating stuff.

(01:52:45):
But honestly, even in an hour's time on the morning show,
we're only kind of really scratching the surface of it
ten thousand foot level. You can listen to Charged Conversation
Brigham's week podcast. How often you do the new podcast
episodes every other week every other week. So just search
for it where we get your podc cast Charge Conversations
and learn a lot more. And if you were hearing Brigham,
he was talking about this app he has on his phone.

Speaker 8 (01:53:06):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:53:07):
What is that app called? Again? Because it's fascinating. I mean,
you can look at the globe, how much people are paying,
how much carbon production there is, what type of energy
is being generated in any given country, even on a
state by state level here in the United States.

Speaker 12 (01:53:20):
Yeah, that's a certain too, what you called electricity maps,
And I just learned about it a week ago, so
I'm still trying to figure it out.

Speaker 4 (01:53:26):
But just one word electricitymaps dot Com that.

Speaker 12 (01:53:29):
It's uh, well it's an app, so you go to
your app store.

Speaker 4 (01:53:31):
Oh, okay, fire it up.

Speaker 12 (01:53:33):
But I do think you can go to the website
too and electricity map. Yeah, check it out. It's got
a lot of good information. You can become informed about
where your energy comes from.

Speaker 4 (01:53:44):
Well, and just be aware of the batcrop insanity going
on in Europe. Germany cutting its own throat. And you
know when you talk about manufacturing leaving Germany, of the
entire European Union, Germany was the powerhouse.

Speaker 7 (01:53:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:53:56):
I think you can take almost every other EU country
and combine and at equaled Germany. But Germany has lost
a lot of ground. And you know we have Europeans
saying Germany's on its way to becoming an open air museum.
Oh that's heartbreaking, it really is, because they used to
have their act together more.

Speaker 4 (01:54:14):
Oh man, when you mentioned manufacturing, the first thing that
would pop in anybody who has any sense of understanding
about the quality. Germany was always number one in terms
of quality. Yes, German parts always costed more, but they
had superior quality, superior engineering, and I just we just
can't count on that anymore.

Speaker 12 (01:54:33):
It's really frustrating. Even the trains don't run on time now,
which is which is really if you're a German you've
been to Germany, that is like the ultimate insult that
the Deutsche Bahn doesn't work correctly.

Speaker 5 (01:54:42):
I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 4 (01:54:44):
Well, I think you and I both really do know
what's going on. It's global communism, Marxism, socialism, called it,
whatever label you want. Their control over us, depriving us
of what we need to be more comfortable, happier and
more productive and wealthier. That's a no no among those circles.
Briga McCowan, we'll be talking again soon, I hope, I
hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for spending time

(01:55:05):
in studio with my listeners with me today, Folks, stick
around At the top of the air news, author Tim
Rivers he's going to return. He was on the show
in January to talk about his book American Goolag. We
have some updates to go over with Tim after the
top of the R News. Hope you can stick around.

Speaker 3 (01:55:18):
What's wrong with German people?

Speaker 4 (01:55:20):
They can trumple theck, they can change.

Speaker 3 (01:55:22):
Your cards the twenty twenty four election.

Speaker 2 (01:55:24):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (01:55:26):
This is God on fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 9 (01:55:30):
This report.

Speaker 4 (01:55:31):
You gotta win their votes.

Speaker 1 (01:55:33):
Plain weird America first, we call it news.

Speaker 6 (01:55:37):
Staying updated on the election.

Speaker 1 (01:55:39):
Fifty five krs the talk station to shy have eight
oh five here at fifty five KRCD talk station. A
very happy Friday to you. You know, I wish it
was unnecessary to have our next guest on Tim Rivers.

Speaker 4 (01:55:54):
Great guy. He's a retired IT engineer, Fortune one hundred
executive and writer. In twenty twenty one and began writing
letters of support to the January sixth prisoners and documenting
their stories and their messages to supporters and America. And he,
along with Mary Goodwin, J six's mother and activists, created
J six Patriot News, providing up the date information about
the state and mistreatment of the patriots and how they

(01:56:17):
can be helped. And he founded the American Gulog Chronicles.
And last time he was on the program January of
this year, we did talk about his book, The American
Gulog Chronicles Letters from Prison and today he joins the
program because sadly it was necessary to do a second book,
The American Gulog Chronicles. I'm sorry, the art of confinement.

Speaker 9 (01:56:41):
I just I was look, I just my here we are.

Speaker 4 (01:56:44):
I mean, I feel like I'm talking to Alexander Stolchinichen
about the Soviet Union and the Gulag Archipelago that he wrote,
and this is a comparable thing. Welcome back, Tim. I
really wish it wasn't necessary to have you on. But
here's another book, and there are still in prison, and
these trials are still going on.

Speaker 7 (01:57:01):
Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of a disturbing, I
would think to anybody who thinks that justice is available
to them. I mean, I just got off the phone
yesterday with one individual. He's a thirty year military veteran,
three times Broadze Star, Green Beret, never had a traffic
ticket in his entire life. Were three years and nine

(01:57:25):
months coming without trial, sitting in Dallas Fort Worth Prison.
These are things that I think Americans don't believe could
happen to them, can't believe it happened in this country.
That second book was necessary because this is a chronology,
This is a story that has unfortunately not ended. There

(01:57:46):
is actually a third book underway called Letters to Donald J. Trump,
one hundred and twenty five Letters for Prisoners directly to DJT,
everything from trying to explain to him what happened and
why they you know, why they are where they're at,
and to please for you know, please pardon us. I
think these are times that are disturbing to anybody who

(01:58:08):
has an expectation of some stability in the function of
justice and the function of law enforcement, in the rights
of citizens. It's a very disturbing thing to observe in
a lifetime. I really wish I hadn't seen it, but
I think that this is a time when Americans are
being called to duty. I don't care what your age is,

(01:58:28):
I don't care where you've been in your life or
what you've done. Your country needs you now. We are
really in serious trouble. And I have children, I have grandchildren.
I would hope that the grandchildren would have grandchildren one day.
I would like them all to be free, all to
be able to expect equal justice, all to be able
to have the rights that our founding fathers gave us

(01:58:50):
in blood.

Speaker 4 (01:58:51):
Well, many in my listening audience share your arguments, your belief,
your perception of what January sixth was, which I routinely
refer to as what looks like and what got ab
out of hand drunken fraternity party, not something that truly
represented a threat to our democracy, but that they have
been so mistreated and over prosecuted, and you mentioned the

(01:59:12):
someone who's been spending that much time in prison has
yet to be even brought to court. Speak to the
listeners and explain to them, if you can, please speak
to those listeners who really think this is appropriate, that
it was a threat to democracy and somehow the January
sixth was, you know, the biggest threat that our nation
has ever seen, and there are people out there that

(01:59:33):
are die hard believers in that and think that everybody
should be locked up and throw it, have the key
thrown away.

Speaker 7 (01:59:38):
Yeah, it's been a very hard battle because the mainstream media,
I'm not even going to call them mainstream media, the
fake media, has been working so hard to misrepresent what
happened and to present a biased political viewpoint of the
current regime. We have worked really hard. You know, the
reason the books came out is because it wasn't enough
to publish these things on tele Graham and X. We

(02:00:01):
weren't reaching the audience of America that needed to hear
the truth, so we put the books out there. The
books have done okay, but you know what, it still
wasn't enough. Some of the other people who have labored
in this field of ridiculous sorrow with me for three years,
mister Davidson Rall from Stop Hade, and Cameron Lee from
actually from a number of different things. More notably she

(02:00:24):
was been a filmmaker and a publicist. And we formed
a new company called Unredacted Media just for this purpose
to begin to go a little bit further than the books,
to do film. In fact, we just held our first
film festival in Greenville, Texas in the historic Texan Theater
where Houdini and the Marx Brothers and Kate Smith and

(02:00:46):
names that you would recognize have performed for over eighty years.
And we put together twelve incredible documentary films that tells
this story and not just about Jane Juquary six, but
we're going all the way back to the pandemic and
we're talking about, you know, how did we arrive at
the precipice which we stand upon. Now we've told it
in twelve incredible documentary films. It's almost fourteen hours of

(02:01:11):
video over three days, and now it's almost available for
post production streaming. You can watch all the films, you
can watch all the additional data on them. And what
we're doing is we're urging people to hold latch parties
because the folks who are listening, who don't believe that
if you watch these films, it's not propaganda, it's literally
and some of them have almost no commentary. It's video.

(02:01:34):
It's raw, real video from that day and from the
other occurrences, and we just ask America to watch and
make up their own minds. We're not trying to convince
anybody of anything. What we're trying to do is reveal truth.
And so if you go to one afilmfest dot com,
you can get a ticket for twenty five bucks, twelve

(02:01:55):
and a half hours of movie, over fifteen hours of
other content, filmmaker interviews, just really trying to reveal the
truth of what has happened in America. I just I
would think this would be our last step, but you
know what, we keep feeling this hand upon our shoulder,
This says we have not done enough because America is
still hurting, and so I guess we just keep fighting

(02:02:16):
until we either find the solution to bring us back
to some sanity, some reasonable expectation of the American values,
or we expire in the process. And I'm okay either
way with it.

Speaker 4 (02:02:28):
Well, at your age, you know, you sound maybe a
little bit like my mom who's eighty four and you know,
thinks she's not gonna live long enough to see the
collapse or say, for example, the Social Security system. Maybe
there's a little bit of that going on in your
mind there. She say, you'll take what comes, but I
don't want to see that what comes like that, because
like you, I have children as well, and hope some

(02:02:48):
day they have grandchildren my own Now does the money
that you take and it's oneafilmfest dot com. Do I
have that right?

Speaker 7 (02:02:57):
Yeah? She did the money from all it took to
I guess you know again, we started this company because
everything we've done has been nonprofit. All of our workers
are volunteers. Nobody gets paid for what they've done. For
almost four years now, all the money from the books
goes to a nonprofit that goes right back into the
January sixth support function. So If you buy one of

(02:03:19):
these books, you've joined my Gulag army to help keep
these men and women alive and keep their families afloat.
But more importantly, the money from these movies is going
right back into creating more films, to giving January six
prisoners who have been released, and in some cases are
still in prison, the opportunity to write books, to be
involved in filmmaking, to tell this story in a way

(02:03:43):
that preserves it for the future, so other generations, unfortunately,
do not make the same mistakes that we have made.

Speaker 4 (02:03:51):
Then your first book, Letters from Prison, the American gul
Law chronicles Letters from Prison. Again, we talked about that
in January. These are letters from the actual incarcerated folks.
Explain the this this neuve on the art of confinement.
Get a little more detail about how this differs. If
it does from the prior book.

Speaker 7 (02:04:10):
It does. It's still it's still letters, but it's the
the content of the letters has dramatically changed. They have
They have found the expectation of endurance is probably their
their best tool in getting through this. As as Americans
and hopefully people that are listening to this radio, we're

(02:04:30):
all laboring to try and reverse this injustice. So, but
these folks have turned this type of incarceration, this type
of persecution, uh, the endurance of that, they've turned it
into a damn art form the different ways that they
have found the coke. And I would just tell you
immediately that most of these men who were very staunched

(02:04:52):
Christians when they went in, those who were not have
actually been converted and baptized in prison. They have found
their faith in God in Christ to be their most
potent ballwork against what's happening to them. And they like me,
I said, what comes come? If this is where you
sent me and this is where I stand now, then

(02:05:13):
this is where I will work. And I think these
people have come to that same conclusion that I'm here
for a reason. I don't understand the big plan, but
I do understand that there is always a plan, and
I'll serve my part in it.

Speaker 4 (02:05:26):
Oh that's the beautiful thing of believing in a higher power,
because when the highest power that you're surrounded by is
the state and the state has failed you, there at
least some higher power you can turn to for well,
peace of mind, maybe some hope, but also, like you said,
and the whole the idea of the Lord works in
mysterious ways. Maybe you are suffering so others can become

(02:05:48):
aware of it thanks to folks like you, Tim Rivers,
who get this information out about this mistreatment, about how
the government is abusing its citizens, and so we all
learn from their suffering. I mean, there may be a
reason why they're so bring. The Lord does work in
mysterious ways.

Speaker 7 (02:06:03):
Yeah, I'm afraid that the current regime would like to
be our God, to replace God with state. And that
is the function of the socialist society. That is a
methodology of introduction of communism into productive societies. We've seen
it happen across the world over and over again. It's
amazing that people don't recognize it. And that's why we

(02:06:25):
thought these films were important because we put them together
in a manner that was just tells the story of
not only what has been happening, but how we have
been so thoroughly and specifically manipulated into a belief of
reality that does not match the actual reality of the world.

(02:06:45):
And I think that's important. One of these films is
called Into the Light, and it explores that topic in
the way that I just I mean, heck, I know
these filmmakers, and I just fall off my chair watching
these things. Because even I immersed in this as deeply
as I am with the people who speak to me
almost every day, I've arnd things in these films that
I just I can't believe, but I now know them

(02:07:08):
to be true. And it helps illuminate. If you're looking
for a path to get into the fight, if you're
looking for permission to become you know somebody more than
just Joe sitting on the couch watching TV. I'm giving
it to you now because your nation's calling, and this
is a time where you can't fight without being educated,
because you don't even know what you're fighting against.

Speaker 2 (02:07:30):
And so these movies, we.

Speaker 7 (02:07:32):
Put them together to form an armory of truth. I
know that may sound militant, but it's not. It's an
armory of truth. We want you to draw your weapons
of knowledge, to find your shield of faith, and to
find your sword of justice. And let's get in this game.
Let's be sure. Not only do we vote, we take
our neighbors to vote. We find our friends who never
voted before. We go to our church and we find

(02:07:53):
that thirty seven percent of Christians who aren't even registered,
and we take them to the polls with us and
start to rebuild this country. And I wasn't being facetious
when I said I didn't think i'd see the end,
because I think the rebuild will be decades and I'm
not sure God will give me that much time. If
he does, I'm okay with it. I'll keep fighting and
working until you know, he calls me out. But in

(02:08:16):
the meantime, I think it's He's calling a lot of
people and nobody's listening, and so I'm telling you tune down,
turn off the radio, shut off the phone, forget some
TV for just a few minutes. Even maybe the radio
somebody who's important as Joe, turn it off for just
a minute. Listen to the silence and see if you
can hear the call.

Speaker 4 (02:08:35):
Appreciate that. But I will encourage my listeners not to
turn off the morning show because it's places like my
venue where people like you can get the message out.
Not that I disagree with your message, generally speaking, it's
just simply a question of where information is gathered, and
you can gather great information from Tim Rivers books. American
Goolaw chronicles the art of confinement. The most recent one
preceded by letters from prison, and of course volume three coming,

(02:08:57):
and I really wish there was. I hope we can
come to it day when there won't be a need
for this anymore and justice will be served for these
folks really quickly before we part company here, Tim, just
by way of illustration, now, I'd be the first person
to have made if you walked on into the Capitol
building and you picked up, say something and clubbed a
police officer or somebody over the head with it, that
you are guilty or responsible for your damages. You committed

(02:09:20):
a crime. You should be held accountable for that.

Speaker 9 (02:09:22):
Fine.

Speaker 4 (02:09:22):
There has been an actual torque, even if a civil
you want to put a civil thing on it. There
was something that was done. Harm was done. But for
someone merely walking around the building. They were invited in
in many cases by Capitol police and other figures and authority.
How they can be incarcerated for that simple action is
beyond my understanding. But give my listeners like one illustration

(02:09:45):
of a severe injustice that someone is dealing with right now,
just to put a little exclamation point on it.

Speaker 7 (02:09:53):
Yeah, well, I'll just point back to Jeff mckellip, the
individual I just spoke about is it is almost four
years without trial. Set his trial for February, so that
will be well four years and changed. He was standing
outside behind a barrier, very peacefully. He was there to
actually provide protection for some of the speakers that day,

(02:10:13):
but everything just kind of fell apart when over millions
of people showed instead of the expected five hundred thousand.
He observed a police officer knocked a lady who was
standing peacefully down a flight of steps concrete. She was
in her sixties and seventies. She got up and tried
to reapproach again. He'd done that. Same officers strayed her

(02:10:34):
in the face with bear mace at literally point blank range,
and then struck her again. And mister McKellop, who was
a Green Beret and who has been trained to come
to the aid of those who cannot protect themselves, did
what any good American would do, and he tried to
protect that lady. I approved in video that he never
contacted the officer that he was. He tripped and fell forward,

(02:10:57):
but he was recovered. He never even touched the name,
He never struck a blow, he never heard anybody, and
yet he's been charged with like a half dozen violent
donies because of who he is, because he's a he's
a uniformed retired uniformed officer of special forces, and he
stood against the government because they were doing something wrong

(02:11:17):
the government, which is to make people like him, people
like Green Beret Jeremy Brown, people like Captain Gabe Garcia.
I could go on and on. These are veterans, decorated
veterans who have been singled out by the government for
this type of behavior because they dared to stand against tyranny.

Speaker 5 (02:11:34):
Stand that's a simple to put it.

Speaker 7 (02:11:37):
Please go to J sixpatriot neews dot com and read
these stories for yourself. That's all I mean. I could.
I could go on for hours, Joe, but I know
you don't have that time, Bryan.

Speaker 4 (02:11:48):
Joe Strecker is the producer of the program. That's okay
J six Patriot News. That's right. It happens all the time.
I am a mere facilitator to get information out. I
don't care if anybody remembers my name or not, as
long as they remember the information that you're passing along.
And get a copy of The American Goolat Chronicles Volumes
one and two. Joe Strecker will put them up on
my blog page fifty five cars dot com. And I'll

(02:12:09):
also ask that the ad J Sixpatriotnews dot com and
oneafilmfest dot com for my listeners who can't write it
down because they're in a car away from something.

Speaker 5 (02:12:18):
To jot it down.

Fifty five Carca dot com for all that and this
discussion on podcasts. Tim Rivers, keep up the great work,
my friend. I hope to have you back on the

the road.

Hey twenty eight fifty five KRC detalk station, Happy Friday. Yeah,
it's just contemplating that treatment of the Jacio and they're
you know, if you think about that guy defending the
woman who is getting the beat down, their crimes are
so even if you can label them and convince everyone, Yes,
this was a crime they pail in comparison in terms

(02:14:17):
of how other people are treating You can commit murder
in this country and there are gonna be a lot
of people running around saying you should be let out
with no bail and just free on your own recognizance.
Do these people truly represent a flight risk? Are they
truly a danger to the community because well, they see
some officer beating up some elderly woman throwing them down

(02:14:37):
at steps. I mean, it's a legitimate question to ask.
I mean, the comparative use of the justice system, depending
upon which side of the political ledge you're on, on
full display here, folks, And you know I can't abide lawlessness.
And everybody who knows and has been listening to my
program over the years since the day the moment it
was happening in January sixth I was screaming about it.

(02:15:00):
Don't do that. I mean, you know, what good are
my words? Screaming into a television center in my case
a laptop watching it live not going to have much
of an impact. But as we've learned, Donald Trump and
asked for more troops and he was denied that request.
Transcripts confirm that we talked about that earlier this morning,

(02:15:20):
and real quick here for getting the local stories, and
you can feel free to call. Maybe you've got a
different perception on this, that's that's fine, That's what the
morning show is all about. Exchange of ideas five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
three talk found five fifty on at and t fund
that a high wind warning that's in effect at noon

spoiling and your refrigerated items in good shape. Anyhow, moving along,
we have local stories to dive on into unless you
want to call. Well, we have the one passenger killed
and a driver heard and a crash of West Price Still.
It happened late Wednesday. According to the Sincint Police, impairment

(02:16:24):
and as the excessive speed are being investigated as contributing
factors in the crash. Eighteen year old driver of a
twenty sixteen Chevy Equinox struck an unoccupied dump truck that
was parked in the curb lane in the four thousand

the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. A male passenger was
pronounced dead at the scene. Both were wearing seat belts.

(02:16:47):
Police are looking for witnesses, so if you were there,
you saw it, you got information about it, please contact
the Cincinni Police Department's Traffic Unit five one three three
five two twenty five fourteen. Let's see what Mike's gott for.
You get another local stories. Hey Mike, thanks for calling
this morning, and a happy Friday to you, sir.

Speaker 8 (02:17:03):
A happy Friday to you, and good morning on this
wonderful day. But you know, I was always taught you
would go to somebody's rescue if they're in trouble by themselves. Yeah,
and I mean I've I've broken up fights throughout the years,
and and then to do this to people, is this
unconscionable and disgusting. And it's done by design. It's done

(02:17:31):
to do to us what they want to do. I mean,
I don't know how to put it, but not get
it shut off the air the way I'm thinking. But
I'm just it's just disgusting to our our government actually
joined this to the citizens, uh, and and thinking it's
okay and putting them in jail. Just like these poor

(02:17:52):
ladies they were praying in the hall. They got like
thirty years for praying.

Speaker 4 (02:17:59):
Yeahs sense, it doesn't make sense. But to your point,
and I'm in agreement with you, this is all designed
to create a chilling effect on us, our actions, our freedoms,
and our liberties. I mean, it's like people who are
afraid to you know, like, well, if I had my
own concealed car gun, I'd be afraid to use it
because you know, damn well, the prosecutor would come after

(02:18:21):
me if I legitimately defended myself. So I'm afraid to
do it. Police are put in a similar position if
their every action is just intensely scrutinized after the fact,
while after the adrenaline has worn off, after that officer
is taken away from the urgency of his or her
own life being threatened, then you're gonna scrutinize every every

(02:18:43):
single thing that they did as if they had time
to scrutinize their behavior. And I'm not talking about unforgivable
acts of police brutality or anything like that. I'm talking
about the situation where there is a reasonable justification for
use of deadly force and then they get brought up
on charges for it. Same thing happens as the homeowners.
All the time, people are afraid need to exercise their
constitutional rights because they have a government that this is

(02:19:03):
one to drag them into court and prosecute them. And
so it's all a chilling effect, and it's all well,
it's designed, I guess, to put us in our place,
whatever place it is they determine we should be in.
Frightening stuff. This is the United States of America, last
time I checked. Last time I checked, five one, three,
seven nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to

(02:19:25):
three talko with pound five fifty on at and t
phones got more to talk about and real quick, and
I thank you very much, Maureen. I mentioned this earlier.
This last time, I'm going to bring it back up
because it was earlier in the program. I did have
my CT scan the other day. People know that because
I was talking about affordable imaging services where I got
my CT scan works out great, And my own doctor
called me up while I was on the air yesterday morning.

(02:19:46):
So it was about an eight o'clock call. And when
your cancer doctor calls you at eight am to talk
about your scan results, you know that call is not
going to result in good information. So, sadly, and as
with much dismay, I have to report, yes, my cancers
come back. The lymph nodes in my abdomen a little
too large for comfort. So that's what I have, is lymphoma.

(02:20:06):
And so she was concerned that maybe the spectrum that
I'm on, which was low spectrum lymphoma, might have gone
up the charts somewhere to something more aggressive. So next
stop for me is a biopsy. They're going to biopsy
one of those lymph nodes to find out where I
am in the cancer situation, and then of course a
treatment protocol will follow I was really hoping to make

(02:20:27):
it through November without any indication or sign of cancer.
That'll be my four year anniversary. Sadly didn't happen, but
I got some great cancer doctors, and I'm optimistic that
the treatment protocol will work and I'll be cancer free
at some time down the road. At least it's my hope.
But to the people who have told me they've been
praying for me, Pat called yesterday, Mareene just sent me
a message I got west Side. Jim Keefer and I

(02:20:49):
cancer surviving friends, and so we exchange information along these lines.
And if you have cancer, it's wonderful to have a
friend who's going under the same going through the same experience.
He and I have different types of cancer, but it
really is nice to know that there's a sort of
I hate to use the term fellow traveler, but someone
else is sharing your experience with you. It's there are

(02:21:10):
times when you really need that help and that support.
And so a specific extra thank you to Jim, because
he and I exchange thoughts and check out on each
other's progress all the time, and it's a wonderful thing
having a friend period, under any circumstances. Most notably when
you're dealing with something like this. So thanking God bless
you all. Eight thirty six right now, fifty five KRCD

(02:21:33):
talk station. More to talk about and I'd love to
hear from you if you've got some comments. Maybe we'll
do a plug update since it is Friday morning. Joe,
how about that stick here.

Speaker 3 (02:21:40):
Out fifty five krc the talks.

Speaker 4 (02:21:44):
Team, jessh I have eight forty two here, fifty five
KRCD talk station. Oh, we are going to do a
plug update. Grab it out here? About it? You can
call five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eight to two three talk fifteen at
and phones caught in amash Anthras our flag got these things.

(02:22:17):
Let us begin in New York, where they have a
new mosquito board. Disease experts are warning of a widening risk.
First patient in I guess ever here in the United States,
and a New York report of the first state's first
death from Eastern equine encephalitis EEE disease has spread through
mosquito bites patients, the first person to contract EEE in

(02:22:40):
New York since twenty fifteen. A cord to the press release,
from the governor. Following the first confirmed human case of EEE,
my administration, Kathy Governor Hockel took statewide action to help
protect communities, and with today's declaration, we're making more state
resources available at local departments to support the public health response.
I wonder why they're going to r out of money
in New York anyway. State Health Commissioner doctor James McDonald

(02:23:06):
declared EEE an eminent threat to public health, which will
make more resources available for prevention measures like spraying to
reduce mosquitoes. Whatever the environmentalists are on that one, doctor
Kirk Van, Doc, PhD, public health expert and vice president
of Strategic Growth that for Mosquitos Squad in Maryland, EEE

(02:23:27):
is only spread to humans via a mosquito bite. It
cannot be transmitted directly by other humans or horses, even
though it's an equine version. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea,
stiff neck, seizures, behavioral changes. Drowsiness usually appears five ten
days five to ten days after being bit, and I
said most people have no systems symptoms. Rather, others can

(02:23:48):
only a mild flu like illness with a fever, headache,
and sore throat. So for people with an infection of
the central nervous system, a sudden fever, a hot one
one oh three to one oh six, severe headache, stiff
neck can be followed quickly by seizures and coma, and
it can be deadly. Fatalities for thirty percent of infected
people can also read lead to chronic neurological deficiencies. Oh great,

(02:24:11):
and its mosquito airborne or mosquito illness. I'm going to
have our fair share mosquitoes flying around. Palm size, brightly
covered in vasive species has now made its way to Massachusetts.
According to local news there, WCVB recently spotted one a
distinctive bright yellow spider, the giant Jorro Is it horror

(02:24:36):
j o Rro? Or is it jorro? Don't know? Flying
spider apparently pretty big, palm sized or in the summer.
Scientists warn this evasive species could be making its move
from the south into the northeast, and the Joro spider's
Boston appearance apparently is its northernmost siding. Spider experts say

(02:24:58):
people shouldn't be too worried about the venomous East Asian
anthropod ah. Yes, another one from Asia which gives the
illusion of flying through the air because it has a
dangling piece of silk off of its silk producing region
in its body, so float by it will. It's the
size of your palm, so it's big, it looks threatening,
and it's invasive. Add that to the list of invasive pieces.

(02:25:18):
Euro is it? Euro? Okay? Thank you, Andrew Pappus and
Jostreker Euro. And finally, and we're going to a little
time in the segment, but it may as well get
it out of the way since it is a plague.

Speaker 5 (02:25:35):
Update.

Speaker 4 (02:25:35):
Venomous creatures spotted washing up on the beaches of the
Outer Banks, North Carolina, cord to the National Park Server.
They sent out a warning about slugs, specifically, Cave Hatteras
National Seashore posted a Facebook that blue sea dragons have
been spotted on the beaches. Accord to the post, this
venomous sea slug lives in the open ocean and occasionally

(02:25:57):
gets stranded on the land following strong winds. Oh my god,
do we have a hurricane going on down there. They
may grow, they may only grow to about an inch long,
but don't let their size fill you. They pack a
punch apparently venomous often found throughout the Atlantic, Pacific and
Indian oceans and tropical and subtropical waters. They're considered a

(02:26:19):
sea slug. They spend most of the time floating around
on the surface, but again with winds, it comes late
they make landfall. So do not touch them because their
meals consist of venomous creatures, specifically man of war Portuguese
man of war. They store the venom and they keep
it in their own body for their own defense, concentrating

(02:26:39):
it and then delivering a steing that's more powerful than
the Portuguese man of war from which they got the
poison in their body. So beware the blue sea slugs.
Forty seven fifty five KC the Talk station, and thank
you for the correction on the pronunciation there, Joe Andrew

(02:27:00):
be right back.

Speaker 6 (02:27:02):
Fifty five KRC.

Speaker 3 (02:27:04):
It's the marketer's report today.

Speaker 4 (02:27:10):
Eight fifty two. Here fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Some comforting words from joey.

Speaker 9 (02:27:18):
Reruses team.

Speaker 4 (02:27:35):
It can still be a wonderful world even with cancer anyway.
Thanks Joe Strekker for all you do for the program.
Lining up the guests today, of course, tech Predit Dave
Hatter just you gotta listen to what Dave said, put
the apps down, and they're all out to get you.
It's amazing. And now we've got programs that were seemingly
built for the only purpose, which is a nefarious one,

(02:27:56):
an afarious purpose program. There's no justifiable reason for creating
programs that can create a deep fake of you or
literally anybody else with just one single photo and one
single sampling of an audio track with your voice on it.
That's it. And someone out there created this. And I
even asked days like, wait a second, is there any

(02:28:18):
legitimate purpose for allowing somebody without permission to create and
generate false content? And of course he can't come up
with anything, but it's out there. Also learned this morning
another fun fact. When you you know I've talked to
him a million times, I will not answer a phone
call if I don't recognize the number, if you're not
storing my system, like when my mom calls, it says mom,

(02:28:40):
my cancer doctor calls says OHC. But there is a
program or a site you can go out there, and
he's used it, he tested it. He can make any
call that he initiates going through this program. Look like
it's coming from one of the people in your contact book,
so you'll look at the phone and all my mom
is calling me, and nope, it turns out it's not.

(02:29:04):
So that's how bad things have gotten out there. And
this is the kind of reason. This is the reason
I like to have Dave on so often. It's like
you got to know how bad things are. And even
had a local an illustration of how a local woman
got scammed out of just under ten thousand dollars. Briga
Mcow's in studio for a full hour Hudson Institute. He
knows energy policy. He just got back from Europe where
he delivered a presentation in Hungary on energy policy. And this, ultimately,

(02:29:28):
this whole green thing and the insanity that goes along
with it, is clearly designed to ruin our economic might
relative to the rest of the world. I am done
even considering that there's some other reality behind it. And
if you listen to Brigham, I think you'll reach the
same conclusion. I know he has tim rivers ofth of
American Gulog and the follow up to American Gulog. There's
now two versions of it, all relating to the January

(02:29:51):
sixth protesters and the mistreatment that they are facing at
the hands of the American justice system. It's frightening stuff,
and that it's happened in the United States of America.
Having grown up with the Soviet Union, this sounds so
reminiscent of the Soviet Union and the atrocities they committed
on their people. See Alexander Sultanishan. Anyway, I hope you

(02:30:13):
have a wonderful weekend. I hope to see you tomorrow.
We're gonna be at the Claremont County Flapjack event, brought

a lucky man for getting to facilitate this. I'll be

(02:30:35):
the MC at that. It's taking place at the Claremont
County Airport. All you need to do is go to
Gopclaremont dot org to get your tickets or go directly
