A ication.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
There.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It is confirmation from Joe Strecker, if a good producer
with the woo Who SoundBite, that it is in fact Friday.
Didn't he tell you that, didn't need the woo Who

day've had or every Friday six thirty today Consistent with history,
TikTok mutes descent in China, Get off TikTok data breaches

(00:52):
at twenty three and meters. Pokemon and Cisco Pokemon is
still a thing. Oh really, Joe, Okay, that was a
definitive Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. I thought that
kind of went the way of the Dodo. I remember
my son was about five or six years old. He
tried to collect Pokemon cards, and we did everything in
our power to dissuade him from the stupidity of collecting

(01:15):
pieces of paper printed in random numbers to inflate or
deflate the value, as the case may be. Never understood
that beanie babies is another thing I never ever quite understood. Whatever,
once you decide you're going to collect something, you have
a built in market established for the manufacturer of those

(01:36):
pointless items. John Pearson, gop Hamilinkuinty Commissioner candidate, is going
to be in studio in seven oh five. We're going
to hear what John Pearson's running on. Uh Stacy Lufton
for Judge Stacey Lufton eighth five Why should we vote
for Stacy Lufton? Also a request to donate out at
eight oh five and follow by closing out the show

(01:57):
with Brian Rensinger with the book Land Rich, Cash Poor,
My Family's Hope and the Untold History of the Disappearing
American Farmer. So there you have it, getting married to
a dairy farmer's daughter, as well as having a lot
of farmers in my well ancestral background, going back to

(02:18):
my great grandfather and some of my relatives that lived
in the southern Kentucky northern Tennessee regions. Dirt farmers, I guess,
but lots and lots of experience sort of just from
a distance with farming. It is a hard life, Lord Almighty.
My wife's father never, I don't think he already ever
left the farm. You got dairy cows and you're well,

(02:41):
a small farmer like that. You gotta milk them twice
a day or they don't produce the money that are
the revenue that well keeps your food on your table.
So you milk them in the morning, you milk them
in the evening, and you do that every single day.
Failure to milk a cow results in them no longer
producing milk. What amazingly difficult and challenging life. That is.
My stories I could tell by just what eye witnessed.

(03:03):
But you know, my wife, it's an amazing thing. You know,
she kind of draw parallels with Jade Vance growing up
in You know, she had a stable home, good mom,
good dad, brothers and a brother and sisters. But they
didn't have anything, you know, you didn't have two pennies
to rub together. But living on a farm was a
stable life. Nothing changed year to year. And the greatest

(03:27):
illustration of that was, you know, during the seventies we
were going through stagflation. The economy was terrible, joblessness was
all the rage, and prices were going through the roof
of everything. They didn't notice it, you know why, cause
things weren't great beforehand, and things didn't change after that
settled down and Reagan became president. So status quo on
the farm. But what a wonderful life it is. She

(03:49):
wouldn't have changed anything, and of course it made very
strong people being a farmer, character building young children. I
just don't see anything. Do you have any young people
that would take on that kind of job? It would
commit themselves of that kind of life. Anyway, we'll hear
from about it from Brian rensig here at eight thirty
starry going down that road. Oh and if you're not

(04:09):
friends with me on Facebook and you know about my
cancer situation, I finally got the appointment with my doctor
yesterday and got the results of my biopsy and my
treatment options status quo. So if you, by way of background,
got low spectrum lymphoma and it's still low spectrum in lymphoma,
it's just come back. So basically, I'm rewinding the clock

(04:32):
to twenty eighteen when this the whole thing started. The
protocol I went through back then got me about three
and a half years of remission. So that's an option
that's seeing protocol. There are a couple of other options
I can pursue, but no worries on my end, I'm
not concerned. I figure, hey, if I disrepeat the process,
I'll be back at this in about four years, assuming
the same trajectory. It goes away and it comes back,

(04:54):
And that's kind of the information that gave me at
the outset, Brian. This treatment, you know, will provide you
with some relief. We'll get it remission, but it'll probably
come back. Also giving me great comfort from the outset.
They told me, Brian, you're going to die with this,
not from it. So please, I cannot thank everybody enough
for the prayers, the kind words, the support. It's just

(05:15):
it was just a beautiful thing and I just cannot
comment enough about how uplifting it is. You know, if
you're struggling for me, it was more of a psychological struggle. Again,
I didn't think I was going to get you know, Brian,
you only have three months to live. But how important
it is and how nice it is when someone extends
to you just the courtesy of saying, hey, I got

(05:38):
your back, man. If anything you need, you just can
call me. You can count on me. By the way,
I'm praying for you, I'm keeping you in my thoughts
and prayers. You know how uplifting that is. Let's kind
of think you through a day. So thank you to
everyone who expressed those concerns. Now, I will ask you
from the bottom of my heart, in terms of prioritization.

(05:59):
We've all got priorities, we all got lists, and there's
only so many people you can include in your prayers,
and well, I thoroughly appreciate them, and I would not
reject any further prayers, prayer for support, or any other
words of encouragement. Please consider those who have it so
much worse than the I posted on Facebook yesterday, like

(06:19):
the cure starts now. Pediatric brain cancer. That's something that
needs prayer, That's something that needs words of encouragement. That's
something that while people struggling and going through that need
words of support and encouragement. That is a grave diagnosis.
So thanks again, and let us emphasize I think we

(06:40):
can all agree one thing for sure in this divided
country we find ourselves. Cancer sucks.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's funny because they had that someone had made a
sign wood burning, you know art. You get the wood
burning tool and you burn into wood right there and
the doctor's off yesterday. It's a big sign cancer sucks.
That give me a chuckle. And back over to things
political here in Ohio and It was great having the
Kentucky folks on yesterday Kentucky of Blue Bluegrass Institute for

(07:13):
Public Policy talking about Issues one and two in Kentucky.
And I'm behind both of those. I think they sound
like excellent ideas and simple to understand. Issue one here
in Ohio isn't simple to understand. It's convoluted, it's crazy,
and it's nefarious. Oh, we're going to take jerry mandering
away from the politicians. Well, you know, the Wall Street
Journal got a wind of this and issuing a concern
a warning to you folks out in Ohio considering voting

(07:36):
for Issue one, Uh, don't do it. Look behind the
veneer of this. It's all up and up. It's going
to be evenly divided. Look at the veneer and peel
it away and realize this is an effort to undermine
the Republican advantage in the state of Ohio. I had
the guy on that was pro issue too, and he said, well,

(07:56):
it's worked in other states. It's worked in another states.
And you stop and you say, well, what does work
mean for you? If it results in Democrats taking over
in otherwise republican areas, I would say that doesn't work.
That's exactly what the Journal's pointing out. They point out
to the state constitutional amendment to stablished this redistricting committee

(08:17):
fifteen members that would take control of the redistricting maps,
five Republicans, five Democrats, and five independents. And as I
always do, pause and even consider what that means, because
within each party there's like nine miles of separation from
one side to the other. Proponents argue that this is
a bipartisan system, it'll end jerrymandering. But the giveaway, as

(08:39):
the Journal recognizes, of the real purpose is the ballot
measure is funded by a partisan culch array of unions
and major national progressive nonprofits, the goal to enshrine progressive
jerrymandering in Ohio's constitution. They note the Ohio Redistrict Redistricting
Committee already bipartisan two Republicans, two Democrats, the governor, Secretary

(09:01):
of State, and state auditor. They suggest that the so
called independent members, if this new commission is established, because
people foolishly vote yes on one, that these so called
independent members are likely to lean left. And that's here,
here's what works for the guy who's pro issued won
here quote, that's what happened in Michigan after voters in

(09:23):
twenty eighteen approved a similar measure. Over the next few years,
the commission redrew the electoral maps. In twenty twenty one,
the state Senate at twenty two Republicans sixteen Democrats, the
state House fifty eight Republicans fifty two Democrats. In twenty two,
with the redrawn maps by this so called independent commission,
Democrats won both legislative chambers Michigan, Ohio or Michigan GOP

(09:46):
they say is a mass but then against those Ohios.
But the new maps are much more favorable to the Democrats.
Note they observe that the lefts drive for so called
independent commissions to draw the maps tends to be focused
on states where Democrats don't control the state legislature. Targeted

(10:06):
states from this outside money. Get to that in a
minute include Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, Utah or the data from
ballot Pedia. If the belief in the nonpartisanship of citizen
commissions were the real drivers, where are the ballot measures
for such commissions and heavily jerrymandered Illinois and Oregon? I know,
chuckle over that one. They're not there. It's just like

(10:28):
early voting was that New York had only voting on
election day, and the left never said that was racist.
They never said it was the disenfranchising minorities. They never
tried to extend it there. They focused on states where
well they were losing and they needed to flip the
politics over to the left. How do they do that
by cheating? Ballot measure also includes a command for proportionality,

(10:55):
a key progressive goal. The tech states that the statewide
proportion of districts that favors each political party shall correspond
closely to the statewide partisan preferences of the voters of
Ohio got into the chase, this would override the normal
redistricting command for compactness. Progressive voter for urban areas could

(11:16):
be distributed to so called balance outlying districts to elect
more Democrats. That happened when Michigan's commission redrew majority minority
districts to elect more Democrats in twenty twenty three. A
federal district court threw them out as a racial gerrymander
and they had to be redrawn. Now Here we are

(11:36):
to the donors. The largest donor to both the Michigan
and the Ohio districting ballot measure is the sixteen thirty
fund five oh one C four, part of the Progressive
Arabella Advisors Network. We've learned about that group over the time.
Over time. Anyway, that group fund of the Michigan ballot

(11:57):
measure and is the largest single donor to the one
in Ohio, and they observe the journal. The ballot measures
often have looser rules for political donations from foreign nationals
than those that apply to candidates. One of sixteen thirty's
largest donor, and this came up just yesterday, Swiss billionaire
hands George wis known for donating lavishly to progressive causes

(12:21):
here in the United States from Switzerland. Why does a
Swiss billionaire care about US politics? Good question. Maybe he's
a globalist. Shocking no one. Last or this year, the
legislature here banned foreign nationals from contributing to Ohio ballot campaigns.
Get a load of this. On the day Governor Mike

(12:42):
Dwine announced the special session to ban foreign donations, sixteen
thirty dropped six million dollars into this ballot campaign. The
ban ultimately blocked by federal judge with the Sixth Circuit
let it take effect, but you note they saw it coming,
they hurried up and got the foreign money donated to
this cause. Host congressional deligration currently eleven Republicans, six Democrats,

(13:08):
reflecting the state's elector. It's turn in the state too
war favorable to Republican But at least lawmakers on the
current redistricting Commission are accountable to you, the voter. The
new commission will inevitably become a captive of progressive interest groups,
and we hope voters don't fall for the rose. Thank you,
journal I agree with you. I hope so as well.

(13:32):
Great thing about politicians is you can kick them out
of office, you can hold them accountable. That we choose
not to from time to time is not the fault
of the system. It's our fault. Five eighteen fifty five
KRC Detalk station plenty more coming up. I'd welcome phone
calls five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three talk oh count

(13:53):
five fifty on eighteen T funds. A whole lot more
coming up. I'll be right back after these free forts.
Time for the nine first warning weather forecast.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Today.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
We've got a sunny Danner hands high at sixty seven
clear skys overnight traveling it's forty two tomorrow for you
see homecoming sunny and pleasant with the highest seventy two
overnight clear forty four and on Sunday sunny skies with
the highest seventy three thirty nine degrees. Right now, I
think about cars. The talks too.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
I'm Kamawa Harris and I approved this message.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Cheap your stupid mouth shut.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Thank you, Jay Rattler summing it up five twenty two
bios kr C the talk station.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Funny Way, maybe like a I'll tell you you sny till.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
You know it's interesting. Though you didn't get any chance
to listen to Judgjentena Paulton. I'm talking about the government's
free speech, which they don't have predictor on them, trying
to suppress your political speech through well all kinds of avenues.
The most recent illustration of this. You know, we have
a politicized Internal Revenue Service, we have politicized Justice Department.

(15:12):
You know, we can go on and on and on.
Maybe one of the reasons people are rejecting Kamala Harris
because they see the overreach of government and the oppressive
reality of government. Elon Musk felt it the other day.
He's now filed a lawsuit against the California State agency
for political discrimination. He's entitled to his own political ideology.
He's entitled his own philosophy just because he likes Donald Trump.

(15:33):
It's pissed a lot of people off, if I may
be so blunt. California Coastal Commission rejected their plans SpaceX
plans Elon Musk to increase the number of rocket launches
from his own private property, the Space for Base in
Santa Barbara County, so he lawyered up and in the lawsuits,
Bacex claims that this committee made its decision purely due

(15:56):
to political differences that well they have with Elon Musk
that has nothing to do with the review process what
they're supposed to be taking into account. They claim in
the lawsuit, this committee, the California Coastal Commission, and it's
twelve members engaged in naked political discrimination during the debate
over the proposal by the Department of the Defense. Department

(16:20):
of Defense to expand the number of SpaceX launches at
the Space Force Base would have seen the number go
from thirty six to fifty. Court of lawsuit rarely has
a government agency made so clear that it was exceeding
its authorized mandate to punish a company for their political views.
Commissioners on this committe appointed by the governor of the legislature.

(16:43):
What's the makeup of California by the way, Oh that's right, Yeah,
it's all Democrats. They voted six to four on Thursday
to reject the DoD plan Department of Defense plan, but
the debate over whether or not to focused on Elon Musk,
supported Donald Trump. One commissioner Elon Musk is hoping hopping

(17:05):
about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking
FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims
with free starlink access to the Internet. What in God's
name does that have to do with whether or not
we're going to allow the number of launches to increase.
Because Elon Musk is hopping around the country, in their words,

(17:27):
tweeting political falses. There you go with that, you know, misinformation,
disinformation narrative that they stick to everything uttered by someone
who doesn't share their viewpoint. Chairwoman on that said Tuesday,
many things are said in the course of meetings, whether
it's a Coastal Commission meeting, whether it's a legislative meeting,
whether it's a planning department. The basis of this decision

(17:51):
is the commission's conclusion that SpaceX, as a private company
engaged in private activities, needs to apply for a coastal
development permit. No, they blame that politics. So he's got
a lawsuit. But then again, this is exactly the type
of thing Judgejennen A. Poulo Atana was talking about. You know,
this is a free country with free speech rights. We
have people of all political persuasions, from the far left

(18:12):
Marxist all the way over to the most well i
want to say conservative, all of the most radical right
wing individual you could think up sovereign citizens. Everyone's entitled
their own opinion. Are they entitled also then to equal
treatment under the law. The answer to that is supposed
to be yes. You shouldn't be rejected from a permit

(18:32):
merely because you don't share these woke leftist political viewpoints.
Five twenty six fifty five KR see the talk station.

thanks for calling this morning. And Happy Friday to you, sir.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
Hey, Happy Friday to you too, Brian, and I hope
everything goes good on your medical case.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I appreciate it. I'm optimistic, man, I really am. So
we're I feel like, I'm oh.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Well, we're all praying for you.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
But the point I'm getting to now, this is hypocritical, man.
This is what these people do. They do it every
election year. The undecided. Now come on, now, wait a
bet it the people that I've seen a survey on
here when I'm posted, people said the under sided never
vote anyway and here here. Here's the other thing is

(20:05):
if you can't understand you were better all four years
ago than you are now and you're still not decided,
are you serious?

Speaker 5 (20:15):
I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, it could be I hear you the idea that
you could be undecided given the obvious differences between Trump
and Kamala Harris. It's it's absolutely backcrap and saying to
believe that's even possible. But there are people out there
that pay zero attention to politics, absolutely zero attention. And

(20:39):
I've got some friends that are like that, I mean
dear friends of mine. You ask them anything about politics,
like you know, who's the secretary of State or uh,
you know, and who's had no idea, absolutely no idea.
And I had people that vote I remember, I had
people that that admitted to me back when Barack Obama's
first running for president that they voted for him simply
and exclusive, not based on policies. What he was playing

(21:02):
and his ideas is nebulous and broad basis they were,
but only because he was black. That was the only
reason I asked him why it's like, well, you know,
it just shows that we're not a racist country if
we have a black president. It's like, well, you know,
that may be one advantage. We'll find out and we'll
see what happens. So that was the only thing they
didn't know anything really about policy. No, you know, it

(21:22):
didn't end the idea that we're a racist nation, though
in fact, it stirred the pot and made us. Since then,
it's like, we've even become more racist, Like how I mean,
didn't we demonstrate to the world we elected a black
man as president clearly the vast majority of the majority
of Americans anyway, don't feel that way. If you're racist,
you're not going to vote for a person of color.

(21:43):
That's kind of the definition of racism, is it you
hate someone simply based on the color of their skin.
So anyhow, Yeah, there are people out there that pay
no attention. But it baffles me equally that you really
could say, with a stray face and you're undecided, I
would press those cool. Why you know, Well, because I
don't pay attention, I think is probably in the final analysis,

(22:04):
the only answer you can come up with. Have a
great one, man, appreciate the kind words. Yeah, we're getting
forty three charging stations for electric vehicles Okai. The Ohio
Kentucky Regional Council of Governments on Wednesday set awards from
its carbon reduction program that would be the infrastructure law
pass in twenty twenty one. That multi billion dollar Boon

(22:25):
Doggle sixteen recipient's going to be sharing the funds to
build the forty three stations. Four communities they say one
million dollars each. Three plan to build four stations each.
Hamilton one point six million, Middletown one point five, Anderson
Township one point two. And something I found out today
since they acquire Patrician Newberry reporting Miami University is going

(22:49):
to get one million dollars for a charging station at
its airport. Miami University has an airport, Yeah, they do.
I'm just pulling up on the map. I've been up
there a bunch of times. Had no idea. It's kind
of outside of the center of town though, But I
don't have an electric vehicle, so I'm not worried about
logistics on that anyway. With this year's awards, Okai has

(23:09):
awarded sixteen point eight million dollars in federal money for
ev charging station. It gave six applicants two and a
half million in twenty twenty three. Eight others earlier this
year got three point two million. So coming to a
neighborhood near you the charging station okay blinks this weekend,

(23:31):
you need to worry about the road closures Downsound A
downtown festival is going to make navigating parts of the
region a bit difficult. So you want to attend the festivals,
you have to get the information list of roadways that
will be closed. While thousands of people are looking at
these exhibits spread throughout Sinceinni in northern Kentucky, the roadway

(23:54):
list is long important to remember that driving into the
city isn't the only available option for those want to participate. Metro,
tank and Butler County Regional Transit Authority are all offering
free public transportation and blank this year. See I emphasize
that word free taxpayer dollars paying for it. Metro and
tank I have fair rides starting at six pm each
night of BLINK, while the Butler County Transit Authority offers

(24:18):
shuttles from further north. All three public transportation options have
multiple park and ride options. Drop offs at riverfront Transit
Center downtown that runs between five thirty pm and eleven
pm each night. I can't go through the whole list.
It's just really, really, really long. So it's important if
you're planning on attending blank and you're one to take
your car with you, plan way ahead. I hope that

(24:42):
event is as successful as the one I attended. It
was a really beautiful, beautiful thing to behold. Five thirty
six stack is stupid coming up in a moment. I'll
be right backstick right here at fifty five k CD
talk station.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
In today's Marketers Report, Kate Cronin.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yes, I think we've established the answer to that question
years by forty on a Friday five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three,
Taco Time five fifty on eighteen and two funds you
sure have had on note A fifty five cares dot com,
the podcast and the I heard media app.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Nor.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I think this is getting worse, Joe we I don't
know how it could, but what is with teachers messing
around with children? I don't understand this anyway. In a
world filled with social media and video, it's going to
come out. I keep saying it every damn time in
yet here we have yet another one. Ah let us

(25:50):
see Franklin County substitute teacher facing child sex crime charges
after almost a year long investigation. Seventy four year old
Donald Roberts What surrendered to the front Saklin County Sheriff's
Office Wednesday booked on two counts of school employee having
sexual contact with his student under the age of nineteen.

(26:11):
Gor to the Red Bay Police Chief Jenna Jackson, not
Janet Jenna, school resource officer on November twenty eight, twenty three,
told about an incident at Red Bay School involving a
substitute teacher and underage students. Department of Human Resources investigated.
Jackson said the Lawrence County District Attorney's Office is handling
the prosecution because the Franklin County DA recused himself from

(26:32):
the case. Not no reason stated further accusal. Former security
guard at East Point High School arigned on charges of
having sex with a female student at the school. Prosecutor
said Darien Craig Lamar Webster, twenty six, Detroit. Arraigned Thursday
last and oh yesterday, I believe in the thirty eighth

(26:54):
District court two counts a third degree criminal sexual occult
Conductor Judge Kathleen Galen at the bond at one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Prosecutors claimed the alleged sexual content
encounter took place Tuesday somewhere in the high school court
to the prosecutor, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido, this is

(27:14):
a serious breach of trust and responsibility when someone in
a position of authority abuses that trust, that harms not
only the victim, but the entire community. Sure School officials
said Webster was an employee by a third party security
company not directly employed by the district. His contract was terminated.
Spokesperson for the district said officials at the high school
were notified by students and staff about the inappropriate consensual

(27:36):
relationship involving the female who's in the twelfth grade. Probably
reported the concerns of the school. Upon learning the situation,
Administration with the district immediately initiated investigation, notified law enforcement,
contact with the student's family, work with security company to
terminate the contract. You fight there, you are. That's funny, sad,

(27:57):
twisted and funny. But I know when I was in
high school, one of the seniors was having a relationship
with one of the teachers. I know a girl that
was in my class who was having a relationship with
one of the teachers who's widely known. So, you know,
this stuff only now gets reported. I guess it's been
happening since the dawn of mankind. But you know, you

(28:20):
send your kids into a school and you'd like to
think that those people have some measure of decency and respect.
But now you got to talk to your children about
this is really I think what this comes down to.
And we got a family of a fourteen year old
student claiming in a lawsuit that a California school teacher
named Michelle Christine Sawas who's forty six, groomed and sexually

(28:44):
assaulted their son on his graduation day at Sycamore Middle School.
What they allege you left the boy traumatized. One of
the Sacramento being new allegations in the lawsuits, they saw
us often organized meetups with the student. She also gave
him a pass for recess and spent a lone time
with him by saying she was helping him with homework.

(29:06):
On his eighth grade graduation day, she took the boy
into a classroom, locked the door, and coursed him into
sacks the corner of the but Keunty District Attorney's office. The
student then sent him The student then sent him photos
of their encounter and asked the boy to delete their chats.
Rumors and copies of one of the new photographs began
to circulate in the Gridley community. In October of last year,

(29:28):
police investigation and soon investigators contacted the boy and retrieved
the contents of his phone. District Attorney's office said they
found communication between Solace and the boy, including two explicit
photos of her that matched the description the boy previously provided.
Whilst claims the school failed to properly monitor the teacher's behavior,
nor do they train the other teachers to properly detect

(29:51):
grooming behavior. Suit seeking general damages and non economic relief
for physical, mental, and emotional injuries. At turning for the
boy told load go outlive. The sexual abuse had traumatized
the boy and had a lasting effect. He's back in
the classroom where he had no control of the situation
and felt helpless. Saulus been a teacher for twenty years.

(30:11):
Sentence to four years in prison back in July twenty four,

How five point fifty On Friday Tech Friday with Dave
Hatter coming up at the next hour six thirty.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Feel free to call otherwise. Back to the stack of
stupid This one looks more familiar in terms of a
Friday stack of stupid. Good in New Orleans, where there's
concern in the seventh word community after a woman was
caught multiple times exposing herself in the middle of the day,
it gets worse. Why are you doing that? I don't
think we're gonna get an answer to that me homeowners

(31:40):
and homeowner Bianca Laboof and Megan Brayden, speaking with local
news outlet WDSU, said the woman's been coming onto their
properties and being caught with her pants down. Quote. Her
private parts are in full view of everyone to see
it close, quote, said Labooth. These two ladies provided photos
going back to twenty two the woman on their properties

(32:01):
with their pants down, using their yards as a personal bathroom.
Told she gets worse, the woman said, that is not
what I want to be doing with my time, coming
out and picking up human feces. It's unsanitary and it's
really unacceptable dating the obvious gourd of the neighbors. Police
were called multiple times, with the woman's only given a summons.

(32:24):
I said, unfortunate I'm used to it by now, but
it just makes me angry every time. It makes me
more and more angry. Courd of the New Orleans Police Department.
Someone's for lude conduct, carrying a final one hundred dollars
or more in a minimum of thirty hours community service
picking up trash or in this case, maybe she could
go and pick up her own feces the other woman,
Perry said, I'm not a jail person, but what can

(32:46):
jail do that's not going to rehab her. I'd like
for her to go to some get some help because
it's obvious that she needs it. In the video, the
woman's showing throwing tissue in Perry's yard, then walking by
her back door that her and her son you to
get into the car. There's instances where she yell. There's

(33:09):
instances where she can go out of her door until
can't go out of her door until the lady finishes
because she doesn't want her son to come out and
see the activity going on. According to New Orleans City Council,
and Eugene Green called this a quality of life issue,
saying his office is going to work to find a solution.
Omer said they're tired of seeing the woman half naked
leaving behind him ask for them to clean up. This

(33:30):
issue needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand,
Lebooth said, seems to me that it already has. Let's
see here we go to Bedfordshire in the UK. Reports
say police officers showed up at the home on Potton
with a warrant to a rest aman in question around
seven to twenty in the morning. Despite their initial search,

(33:52):
they weren't able to find the suspect. Then they decided
to expand their search to the sofa and that's where
they found him, calling it comparable to a sketch of
Saturday Night Live but real, according to the led Bible.
Local authority took to Facebook to say We've seen some
things in our time, but we must say this is
a first. This morning we executed a Warranton Potton policing

(34:15):
team thought there was nothing more to be found with
the bar property bar a friendly dog. Upon a closer search,
officers found the suspect tucked into the base of the sofa.
We thought the man would be more comfortable tucked into bed,
so he'll be spending the next few hours in a
custody cell. A little less of squeeze that way. Naked

(34:37):
guy half naked, I should say, found hiding in the sofa,
idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Okay, I'm going
to ask an upfront question. Will this Stormtrooper be able
to hit the target? Because most Stormtroopers don't in Star
Wars movies. The Star Wars fandom has been given their

(35:01):
first official look at the new trans Stormtrooper. I can't
believe this is even the thing, you know what. I'm

(35:21):
not even gonna continue with that one. And here's one,
since I'm running out of time, a trans Stormtrooper. They
all look alike. They're all on the white plastic suits.
Who's inside? I don't know. Everybody looks the same. Isn't
that the point? Now we're gonna have a separate brigade
for the trans Stormtroopers. Guys, we all know that's what

(35:43):
Star Wars is all about. Here's the headline from the
Daily Mail. Explicit lesbian scenes at the opera leave eighteen
audience members requiring medical treatment. Graphics show features Graphics Show
features naked nuns on roller skates and christ having his

you for calling today, CJA good to hear from you.

Speaker 10 (37:45):
Well, thank you very much, and I hope you're having
a good Friday morning. I didn't watch the Ausmith Dinner,
but I did see parts of it and replace this
morning and tell you this much. Jim gaff again was
wrong when he said that that room was a layup
for any Democrat. That room is a Michael Jordan breakaway

(38:06):
with nobody between him and the rim. But the basketball like,
for her not to show up there is not just
complete and confidence, it is just complete reality is stupidity.
And then she does this stupid video that really shows
who she is comfortable with and that is the Hollywood elite,

(38:27):
and then she has no ability to connect with anybody
outside of the Hollywood elite, and that includes those who
are left of center and religious. And I just see
this election is starting to break away. I know the
full numbers are not really truly showing that completely yet nationally,
but they're usually a week or two behind. And as

(38:49):
I was telling somebody last night, I don't remember a
day that Kamala Harris has won. In almost three since
the debate. She hasn't won a single day in the media.
She hasn't won a political day ever. Has been her
in the background or her just really stumbling all over herself.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
This is true, CJ. And I'm going to ask you
this question. Why do you think she didn't go? She
said she was campaigning, but you know what, being at
that dinner and having an opportunity to appear in front
of those very important people and have whatever message you
want to deliver telegraph in the press across this great
land of bars. Because what happened, what's being telegraphed is
that ridiculous video that she just sent in in LIEUISVI

(39:27):
live performance that made her look like an idiot. Do
you think because every time she comes out and utters
syllables that aren't scripted and fails that that's the reason
she didn't show up, because she can't work off teleprompter.
She would have to do things on the fly. She
would have to prepare for, you know, the sound bites
that she wants to get in, and maybe she's incapable

(39:47):
of doing that. I don't know, but you're right. She
would have been like a welcome a rock star at
that event. But no, she chose not to show up.
I think it's a sign of cowardice or incompetence, or
a reflection that her handler's didn't think she could even
manage the event.

Speaker 10 (40:04):
And to to your point, the Al Smith dinner has
become as big as any debate. Everybody covers it. You
get a bunch of free airtime. What are you doing
campaigning where you're spending a bunch of money? It tells
me that either a she is so incapable of preparing
for anything, or she gets scared of lights and cameras

(40:27):
and just basically just freezes and doesn't know how to talk.
And either one are not good recipes for the presidency
of the United States.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Or let me, let me focus on one critical role
the president plays, which is Commander in chief of the
US military forces. If she can't manage a friendly dinner
that would have presumably helped her, then how is she
going to be able to handle the stress of World
War three, which appears to be breaking out scary stuff.

(40:57):
DJ You're right, man, but listen that this, this is
what everyone is observing today. She took a pass. And
you may not know much about this particular event, but
it is really important and I don't think anybody's missed it,
with the exception of COVID. See the first time a
nominee has not showed up since failed Democratic nominee Walter

(41:20):
Mondale in nineteen eighty four. That's quite a long time.
I remember nineteen eighty four, but it seems like just
yesterday in many respects. Who's next, Joseph, Bobby, Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 6 (41:33):
Happy Friday, Face, Flag family and flame throwers.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Brothers. Come back to that. Oh that was a funny
one Elon musk flamethrower. You gotta specify the brand. It'd
be an Elon musk flamethrower. Anyway, go ahead, Bobby.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
I'll tell you what. Brother, Let's go back to issue one. Everybody,
please just say no, no Issue one. No. That way
you don't have to discuss it and worry about all
the jerry mandering and how you may get on the board. Look,
it's a bad situation. Everybody listening to this station knows.
Just tell everybody to vote no. That's the first thing,

(42:13):
and the one of the most important is that you've
got a big migrant fist this weekend.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Also migrant Fest.

Speaker 6 (42:21):
Yeah, it's up the Dayton gun show.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
That's right. Bobby observed that at gun shows we have
migrants purchasing firearms because there is no background check. Now
you're making an argument for background checks. And you do that, Bobby,
because you know, I can sell a firearm to you,
or you could maybe give me an upper for a
firearm that I own, which has happened. But if you
were a FFL licensed seller of new firearms, that would

(42:50):
have to go through a background check. So gun shows
are places where you know, private sellers, you know, present
their wares their collectors, and of course they can sell
them without going through ff So you are making a
great argument for background checks for individual transactions. Bobby. You
realize that, don't you.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
Yes, they're in the state of Ohio, if you have
a driver's license and you're not a convicted spell and
you can go ahead and purchase and or sale to
somebody that's a legal a hire resident. That's just the
way the lawway.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Is right, and we give driver's license to everyone. Everyone there.
You have it, Bobby, Well, I know you didn't call
to advocate for that, Bobby, but that's the point that
we have reached. If you're concerned about illegal immigrants acquiring firearms.
Most notably, given that we have about fifteen million new
ones over the past four years, coupled with about two

(43:41):
million known godaways, backgrounds unknown, it presents a very frightening scenario, Bobby,
as you I'm sure agree with me on that. Always
good to hear from your brother. Have a great weekend, Pat,
welcome to the program, and a happy Friday to you.

Speaker 11 (43:56):
Insane to you, Brian and your health, honey.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Thank you.

Speaker 11 (44:00):
I went to the library yesterday and I got me
a sample ballot to get an idea about this issue.
Won and I don't. And the very first thing is
when you can't vote somebody into office. This is a
commission of fifty people, and the geremandering is going to

(44:20):
help either one party or the other, And you can't.
If you've got a problem with them, you can't do anything.
You can't get rid of them. Only day if they
find you know, if one of the members isn't doing
what they're supposed to do, they can get rid of them.
You can't do anything. You can't see them. You can't.

(44:41):
I mean you can't even you're not even voting for
these people. I said, this country is in a state
right now. I don't know if the commedies are going
to be taken over the Socialists or whoever, but I
think we're in a world or hurt. And all I
do every day in the Rosary I praise good wings

(45:02):
over evil. But yeah I am not. I'm voting no
on this one.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Well, I think that's coming through loud and clear, Pat
and I concur with you, and I recommend that everyone
vote no. Just look at the money behind it, look
at what they have done. It is a bunch of
left wing organizations trying to change a pretty strong red
state back into a blue state. They can't do it
at the ballot box. They can't do it based upon
their campaign platforms. They can't do it based upon you

(45:30):
know what candidates normally run on, and we just don't abide.
We won't vote for them, we don't vote for them.
We have a Republican fully dominated Republican House, Senate, and
governor's office, and they hate that, and so they're trying
to change the narrative. Again, going back to the Wall
Street Journals observations, note that in Democrat states they haven't

(45:50):
pushed for this. They have gerimandering problems. In Democrat states
they've been to the lawsuits have been filed over germandering,
and Democrat states they have the same kind of problems
we've had here in Ohio in the past. It's not
that the problem doesn't exist, it's whether or not this
is the appropriate solution. So how come they're not doing
it in states where they have a pretty full on
blue representation. Well, that's because they have what they want there.

(46:15):
They're satisfied with it. There's no need to engage in
this multi million dollar effort to convince us that we're
wrong on some level. Don't do it. Pat appreciate it,
get the message out, tell your friends, have them read it.
Lord Almighty. It's difficult enough to get through it. That
alone should probably reason enough to vote no on it.
But yeah, I like accountability, and I know politics. It's

(46:37):
difficult to hold people accountable. You got to wait to
the next election, but you at least have that option.
You can vote someone out or vote for the other guy.
Note Steve Shabbitz no longer in office. He was there
forever he ran. He tried to hold a seat. People said, no,
I don't know if you got a better candidate out
of it. I certainly don't think so. But it can
be done. Even though it's entrenched. Incumbents can be voted

(46:59):
out of office six sixteen. Right now, if you have

Speaker 5 (47:59):
Com fifty five krc the talk station reads.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Six one fifty five krc de talk station loves Me
and my Friday's Tech Friday with day've hat are coming
up at the bottom of the hour. David, of course,
he's excited. Ahways is seems to agree with me with
everything I ask him. Anyhow, three Sevenredewo three talk Time
five fifty on eight and defend probably could make this
into a plague update, but I just wanted to rattle

(48:30):
off three headlines seemingly related. I think I can draw
conclusions as to why these headlines read like they are.
US Drinking rates hit the highest level since the nineteen
seventies inflation storm, as tequila demand sores saw that one
over at zero heads they have all the statistics on there.
I guess we're drinking more. And as so far as

(48:52):
drinking is concern, drinking at NFL games has gotten extraordinarily expensive.
I'm sure you know that if you are one of
the elite folks that can actually afford to go to
an NFL football game. Parking tickets and the cost of
food and beverage beer cost inflation. Another one over at
zero has by way of illustration, you buy one beer

(49:18):
at a Philly Eagles game, it's fifteen dollars and thirty
five cents, up from seven dollars ten years ago. Bengals
aren't listed here, but similar pricing structure across the spectrum
Los Angeles fourteen to seventy five for a beer that
used to be seven dollars and twenty cents. I know, Joe,

(49:41):
do you think that's why everyone likes to tailgate? Because
the beers out in the tailgate party. Are a whole
lot less expensive, and you can do whatever you want,
eat your own food and hot dogs and not pay
ninety jillion dollars or like, for example, what is it
a Skyline chili dog at the game? Is like seven
dollars or something like that. Who can argue with He's Loise.

(50:01):
That's why I say no to big stadiums. Let's se
what New Hampshire Gary's got. New Hampshire Gary, Happy Friday
to you, Welcome, Good.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Morning, Brian. Hey, uh, I just I thought I heard
something that you were talking about your lymphoma, and I
just wanted to let you know you're in my prayers
and well something to the effect of you're just taking
it day by day kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Well, it's like I'm rewinding the clock to when I
originally got diagnosed. I had the original diagnosis in twenty eighteen,
low spectrum lymphoma. So after they almost made it to
four years without any symptoms. But I started having some
symptoms crop up, say a few months ago, and I
finally went to the doctor and then I had the
CT scan, then they did the biopsy, and then I
found out yesterday definitively that it has not gotten more aggressive.

(50:48):
It's just growing again. But it's still low spectrum. So
I either go back to a comparable treatment protocol which
gave me basically three and a half plus years, or
there's another treatment protocol I can choose to go with.
So I had some ops. But since I was in
remission for such a long time and I was told
originally and I still believe this, you'll die with it,
not from it. I'm in the best possible place, I said,

(51:11):
you know, I even posted on Facebook. I always feel
like I've won the cancer diagnosis lottery because no one
sat me down and said, you know, buddy, you've got
you know, stage four metastas is all running through your body,
or pancreatic cancer or geoblastoma or liver cancer. I mean,
there's a multitude of cancers that are so much more aggressive,
requires so much more treatment, and people are in jeopardy

(51:32):
of dying. That's why I say, I appreciate the prayers,
and they worked. I'm at the same place. I'm not worried.
I'm in great hands with OHC. At least I feel
that way, and so prioritize you can take me off
the prayer list. Appreciated it worked. Put somebody with geoblastoma
down on that list of prayers, or help the cure
starts now dealing with pediatric brain cancer, that kind of thing.

(51:53):
But I sure appreciate it. I'm not trying to say
I don't. I just figure people have a finite amount
of time and a number of people that are worthy
of prayers. Your prayers, as far as I'm concerned, worked
for me. So thank you very much for the inquiry.
I God love each and every one of you. It's
easy to get through tough times when you have friends
six twenty five fifty five k SED talk station and

(52:15):

a pleasure to have you on the morning show.

Speaker 12 (54:03):
Brian, Always good to be here, Always look forward to it.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
And Happy Friday to you. So China, Chinese are having
problems with TikTok too.

Speaker 12 (54:12):
Huh, Well, I mean, who would have guessed this is
a study that's been reported on and a monitor you know. Yeah,
you and I have discussed TikTok many times over the years,
and really ever since it's taken off as a super
popular social media platform slash app, it's been under fire.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
You know.

Speaker 12 (54:32):
Originally most of the concern was around privacy, and we've
seen issues with it essentially being a tool used by
the Chinese Communist Party and that's essentially what this is
pointing out. Now you know, theoretically it's going to be
banned in the US. We'll see what happens with that.
I haven't heard much about that lately since the initial you.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Know, reporting on that.

Speaker 12 (54:56):
But ultimately the bottom line is I would just encourage
people to think about three things before I get into
the specifics of this. TikTok is owned by Byedance, a
Chinese company.

Speaker 11 (55:07):
Right.

Speaker 12 (55:08):
Two, When you look around and you see how adversarial
China has increasingly become with the United States, in particular
in the West in general, that should be a concern
for anyone to think that data of it's being collected.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
By this app.

Speaker 12 (55:22):
And I would remind folks, don't take my word for it,
go to the Apple App Store and look up the
privacy label for TikTok. I mean, people should do this
for any app before they install it on their phone,
because most apps are not free because the developers don't
have anything better to do with their time, and they
care about you deeply as a person. They're building this
stuff because they want to collect your data. That's why

(55:42):
they're free. They collect, you know, intensive and detailed data
from you. And when you look at the Apple app
Store privacy label and TikTok, it's you know, it's literally
collecting virtually everything off your phone, Yeah, your location, you contacts,
I mean virtually everything. And then number three, China has
a law. Right, you can look this up. It's been
well reported on in the US. China has a law

(56:04):
that says any Chinese company pretty much has to turn
over anything the People's Republic of.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
China wants at any time.

Speaker 12 (56:11):
So that alone, to me, would be enough to ensure
that I never use TikTok. Then you get into some
of the reporting that's come along the way. You know,
Forbes did a big thing in this heating future where
China can basically or I should say bye dance Byte dance.
Can you know the parent company can make things trend right.

(56:31):
So in theory you're using the app, things trend because
they trend right. Many people look at some things, share
something whatever that creates a trend. Well, they can control
that themselves. So anything they want to amplify or anything
they want to push down, they can do that. That
to me is a huge concern and that's what this
article really is addressing. Study finds TikTok mutes descent against China.

Speaker 6 (56:54):
So even if you.

Speaker 12 (56:55):
Don't assume they're using TikTok to amplify pro PRC sash
CCP narratives, someone did a study here. Researchers set of
twenty four accounts on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube simulating sixteen
year old users.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
In the US.

Speaker 12 (57:10):
They tested the algorithms of these platforms using four keywords
linked to the CCP's human rights violations. And then when
you you know, look at the results on TikTok, the
stuff that was negative towards PRC was suppressed. And I
mean that's really the bottom line, you know, I just
don't understand how people aren't getting the message that TikTok

(57:34):
is not your friendly, local neighborhood social media app. Now,
they all have their problems, as we've seen, you know,
and there's been censorship concerns around every one of these
platforms at some point. Really, but again, we have an
adversarial nation state actor controlling this thing, and you know,
when you when you dig down into its capabilities and

(57:55):
the idea, especially as we you know, towards this election,
that they're not trying to control the narrative that they're
not trying to forward pro PRC messages and you know,
suppress anti PRC messages. It's just crazy, and every day
it seems like there's more and more evidence that points
that out. So again I encourage people to go see

(58:19):
for themselves. I will post a link to this in
my notes from today's show. People should go see this
stuff for themselves and then share it and use platforms
like x to share this stuff widely so that hopefully
people will stop using this stuff definitely.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
You know, you've given this message over and over again
in a multitude of reasons why TikTok is dangerous and bad.
It's addictive, it's propaganda. I mean, you know, I go
back to something you've pointed out many times. A lot
of people's reaction is, well, you know, I enjoy TikTok
and everybody's on TikTok, and you know, I don't care

(58:53):
if the Chinese Communist Party has everything on my phone.
It just doesn't mean anything to me. And it's a terrible,
terrible attitude to take. But that therein lines the challenge.
It's so popular that people are willing in the face
of knowing exactly what you told and what you stated,
and the manipulation that they engage in complements of the
Chinese Communist Party, that they're willing to just keep it

(59:15):
anyway just because.

Speaker 12 (59:17):
Yeah, it's it's very frustrating for me personally, Brian, trying
to get people because it's not like there aren't alternatives
out there, right and Instagram, Facebook X, There's plenty of
alternatives that you can use Snapchat instead of this thing.

Speaker 6 (59:32):
But yeah, it's.

Speaker 12 (59:35):
In a continuous state of frustration trying to give people
to take this seriously and stop using it.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Or just don't participate at all. Take That's where I go. Pause.
We're going to find out more data breaches twenty three
meters Pokemon and Cisco. I didn't even know Pokemon is
a thing days. Gonna talk about that in a minute
six thirty six. Right now, if you buy kcit detoxication,
I'm going to tell you about the seventy five plus
years of Zimmer heating and air conditioning helping out their

(01:00:01):
loyal customers, keeping it home safe and efficient and comfortable.
That is the Zimmer tradition. Tradition I should more properly
articulate the word Barties boxis to Zimmer. You trust the
third generations at Zimmer. They are awesome and what they
do customer service is great. They can fix your system,
heating your air conditioning system. They do twenty four hour day,
seven a week emergency service and they'll replace your air

(01:00:23):
conditioner if it is that time. The cool Carrier Comfort
Rebate act while it's still going on, I figure since
winter's fast approaching with moving away from that. But until
they tell me no, it's twenty one hundred dollars in
savings on a new carrier unit. That's a good chunk
of money right there. And Zimmer do a wonderful job
installing that and you'll be very very comfortable with the
news carrier, especially given the rebate of twenty one hundred dollars.

(01:00:46):
To learn more about what they do and what they
can do for you and schedule appointment, it's go Zimmer

Speaker 5 (01:00:51):
That's go Zimmer dot com fifty five KRC. What can
the Claremont County BESO forty.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Fifty five You talk Station Bryan Thomas with tech Freddy,
Dave Hatter Fine Dave and the team online at intrust
it dot com and let us move over to data
breaches I didn't even know Pokemon was still a thing. Dave.
I'm sorry, but I don't have I don't have little
kids anymore now, so, believe it or not, I.

Speaker 12 (01:01:20):
Didn't really think people were still playing that either. It's
kind of surprising to me. I mean, you know, there's
there's the whole card game thing, there's.

Speaker 6 (01:01:27):
The whole TV show.

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
Then you had that app.

Speaker 12 (01:01:31):
You know people were playing for a while where you'd
go try to catch the Pokemon. Oh I remember that, Yeah,
which went through kind of a you know, like a
just crazy phase where people of all ages were playing
this thing like crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
So, you know, it's just it's hard.

Speaker 12 (01:01:48):
This is another thing that's hard to impress upon folks,
both from a consumer perspective why you should care about this,
and then as a business why you should care about this,
because there's two different angles. In my mind, when you
talk about data breaches, generally, what we see is one
of two things. A there's some kind of misconfiguration that
leads to information being leaked. A lot of times when

(01:02:10):
you read about data breaches with one of these cloud
platforms like Amazon Web Services or Google or Microsoft, it's
not that Google or Microsoft has been hacked it's that
someone put their data in these cloud environments and did
not configure the environment to protect it right, because there's
a society of shared responsibility. When you use a cloud

(01:02:30):
based service. Microsoft makes certain capabilities available, you may or
may not choose to use all of them. You may
or may not understand how to use them correctly. Does
that make sense?

Speaker 5 (01:02:39):
First off?

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Yeah, for the most part.

Speaker 12 (01:02:41):
Sure, it's a really important concept. If you think, Okay,
I'm going to get rid of my servers and just
dumb stuff in the cloud, which many businesses do, and
in many cases that makes a lot of sense. If
you do that, but you don't really understand how to
configure that environment correctly, you're gonna get breached. It's just
a matter of time. A perfect example this would be Snowflake.

(01:03:02):
A lot of the most recent larger data breaches, like
AT and T, they were using a third party tool
called Snowflake to do data analysis, and when they put
their data into this Snowflake platform, they didn't set it
up right and then then it was stolen. So you know,
at the end of the day, the responsibility really even
though Snowflake, if you read into it, could have done

(01:03:23):
more to make more tools available to protect it. The
people that put their data there just didn't do the
right things and thus it was stolen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
That's sound like you had a question, Brian, kind of
put a plug in maybe for interest. It is that
the kind of thing you help businesses do well.

Speaker 12 (01:03:37):
As a matter of fact, Brian, it is the exact
sort of thing that we do.

Speaker 5 (01:03:40):
Yeah, yes, I appreciate the plug.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
No, I listen to somebody out there is going, well,
I don't know how to use this stuff. Well, that's
why you have interest, I t I mean, I know
you're not the only game in town, but you know,
it's an important thing for me to point out you
do sponsor this segment. I mean, if I had to
start from scratch on this, I wouldn't even know where
to begin.

Speaker 12 (01:04:00):
What we're doing, Brian, you know it support and cybersecurity protection,
but within that, a big component of that is in
many cases helping businesses you know, modernize, improve their productivity,
improve their productive efficiency and security by moving you know,
their workloads to the cloud.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
All right, what about what of twenty three and me?
I always thought that it was a bad idea to
give up your genetic information to some random company. Out
there in the world. I mean, that's the key to
everything that you are. That one was breached as well.

Speaker 12 (01:04:28):
Couldn't agree with you not it hasn't been breached, but
it has. Here's the problem, okay, and I agree with
you wholeheartedly. I've tried to convince people for a long
time that any Okay, if you go to your doctor
or your local hospital, your data theoretically is protected under
HIPPA right right now. If the data is breached, there

(01:04:49):
are consequences. These healthcare companies that are fall under HIPPA,
I can tell you from firsthand experience, spend a lot
of time.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Trying to protect your data.

Speaker 5 (01:04:58):
It's oh, yes, some of them.

Speaker 12 (01:05:00):
Some of them still get hacked, but they understand the
legal requirements for that. Companies like twenty two to three
and me are not a healthcare company. They don't fall
under HIPPO. And when you send your DNA into them,
to your point, you're giving them the most valuable information
you have. I mean, you can't get a new fingerprint,
you can't get a new retinal print, you can't get
a new DNA. If that's if this biometric stuff where

(01:05:22):
your DNA gets leaked somehow it's hard to say what
could happen.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Let me put it, let me put a stronger point
of that. You're speaking of China. Yes, many people believe
that the bat virus, the covid that was manufactured in
Wuhan Institute Virology, was specifically designed to attack certain types
of people. And I don't know if that ever came
to fruition. But if you can design a destructive pathogen
that goes directly toward people with certain DNA characteristics, if

(01:05:52):
there's a reason right there, I couldn't agree.

Speaker 12 (01:05:55):
With you more. So here, I know we'll run out
of time. Here's the bottom line on this. Twenty three
and me you know, for a while was one of
these unicorn Darling type companies. But once you've submitted your
DNA to them and you've gotten the results, okay, what
are you using for again?

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
And that's the problem.

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
So law enforcement has found it very valuable to subpoena
twenty three meters to find out, like for the example,
to pre trying to data match rapists DNA. So there
is a valuable sort of crime fighting element in there.
But once it's out, it can be subpoenaed and it
can be handed over to others.

Speaker 12 (01:06:28):
And when this when they go you know, they're teetering
now because they don't get repeat business. If they go bankrupt,
what happens to that data? I can guarantee you there
will be other organizations that want to buy it. So
so Toy three and me hasn't been breached per se.
The concern many people are raising, including myself at this point,
is if they don't make it, or if they get

(01:06:49):
bought by another company, whatever terms you agree to, what
happens to that What happens to your data?

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
Who could it be sold to?

Speaker 12 (01:06:56):
And what does that mean for you? So I cannot
stress enough There absolutely zero chance anytime in the near future. Now,
A couple states do have laws that would potentially protect you,
most do not. Most states have no privacy law right
at eighteen do A couple have laws that directly try
to address this type of situation. But even with that

(01:07:17):
eighteen and within the eighteen mostly so you're kind of
on your own. And until there's some sort of national
privacy law that would potentially protect this data period, there
is not a chance, not a chance, I would give
any kind of healthcare data to any private company that
is not under him no way.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Exclamation point coming up. One of the more frightening elements.
It's mornings Morning's discussions with Dave. A water company shut
down after a cyber attack. We'll get to that in
a moment. Binical bills number one cause of bankruptcy. I
can understand that MRIs at a hospital thirty five hundred
plus dollars doesn't include the radiologists report. You get a
separate bill for that. Or the contrast, that's an extra

(01:07:55):
MRIs at Affordable Imaging Services four hundred and ninety five bucks.
Set scans not five thousand, four hundred and fifty bucks.
Echo cardiogram at the hospital two thousand dollars maybe more,
No imaging report. Affordable Imaging Services four hundred and ninety
five bucks, and the ultra sound at the hospital two
thousand dollars average two hundred and fifty bucks. Affordable Imaging

(01:08:16):
Services has no hidden costs. They use the same high
quality equipment as the hospitals. Each image comes with a
board certified radiologists report. The last CT scan I got,
the one that revealed that my you know, low spectrum
lymphoma had you know, gotten active again. I did it
at Affordable imaging services. I saved myself a heapload of money.
That's the important thing about it. They've been at this
for more than forty years. Call schedule appointment. You can

(01:08:39):
go where you want. Well, my doctor said, get the
CT scan. Suggests that i'd go to the imaging department
of the hospital. I said, now I go do a
commercial for affordable imaging. I'm gonna go there. She's like, great,
and no problems at all with the images or the
radiologists report. Everything was great five one three seven, five
three eight thousand. Other than the results five one three
seven five three eight thousand. Visit them online learn more

Speaker 5 (01:09:01):
Com fifty five krc Are you receiving.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Letters from the one I pick about? KRCD talk station
interest it dot Com sponsored the segment Dave Hatter and
his team right there to help you businesses out there
with your business needs in computers. Okay, this one's frightening.
This is the kind of thing I worry about in
terms of cyber attack, the water being shut down, the
electricity grid being shut down, maybe the gas not flowing anymore.
A multitude of potentials here, and we actually have a

(01:09:26):
real illustration with this water company day.

Speaker 12 (01:09:29):
Yeah, Brian, We've talked about this kind of thing before
and it keeps coming up again. First off, I want
to remind folks critical infrastructure. You touched on several of
the sectors there. FBI has sixteen different sectors they define
as critical infrastructure, and it's again some of the things
you just mentioned water, gas, electric, chemical plants, transportation, et cetera. Right,

(01:09:50):
and you know, by any objective measure, just go see
for yourself with the reporting, these types of operations are
increasingly under cyber attack, I mean, and often attribution of
who attacks something is difficult, especially if they're smart. When
I mean when you look at the level of skill
and sophistication, for example of what the Israelis pulled off
with the page Oh you know, it's it can be

(01:10:14):
very difficult to put the blame in the right place
because you'll hear all it was the Russians, well was it?
Or was it the Chinese covering their tracks making it look.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Well, no, the fact that it was done, yeah, I mean,
that's the kind of thing that can be done nefarious
actor absolutely or not.

Speaker 12 (01:10:33):
But so so when people say, you know, why should
I worry about this? And you know, I would remind
folks a lot of people still don't know about Stuck's
net back. You know, many quite a while ago, allegedly
the US, probably working with the Israelis, built a very
elaborate virus for lack of a better description, were able
to get it into the uranium and Richmond plants in Iran,

(01:10:56):
And while the centrifuges that were working on enriching the
uranium doing their thing, they were reporting bad information back
to the operators. So the operators thought the machinery was
doing what it was supposed to do and operating within
its limits, but instead it was basically ripping itself apart.
Hundreds of these centerfuges were destroyed. Again, this is well
documented stucks net. So when people say, well, this can't happen,

(01:11:18):
this is far fetched, it's science fiction.

Speaker 5 (01:11:20):
It's already been done at least once.

Speaker 12 (01:11:23):
So when you think about how devastating it would be
to our society if the water was shut off or
or worse, poisoned. And there have been instances where hackers
broke into a water plant and changed the amount of.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
Chemicals get remember talking with you about that.

Speaker 12 (01:11:38):
Yeah, thankfully no one was injured. But there have been
several of these attacks, the most recent one being on
American Water. Here's the one of the headlines, American Water
shuts down online services after cyber attack. They had to
take some of their systems offline. You know, they serve
roughly fourteen million people across the United States, sixty five
hundred employees, eighteen military and stas relations. So you know,

(01:12:02):
I just can't stress enough. You know, as a consumer,
what can you do? Well, you can be aware of
these things and then put pressure on your elected representatives,
your local water company, water district, whatever it is, to
make sure they're taking these things seriously and they're doing
vulnerability assessments and penetration testing and updating their systems because
the successful attacks, specifically in the water sector have often

(01:12:25):
been they have legacy systems, old outdated versions of stuff
that aren't updated or can't be updated, and that's.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
What gets hacked.

Speaker 12 (01:12:33):
You know, I get it costs money to address these issues,
but you know we're talking about like that, Yeah, kinetic
impact on our physical society. Yeah, ultimately life and death
and possibly an existential situation, because you know, if you
knock out the power grid, eventually, you know, you're going
to have all kinds of other problems. Can you get
fuel to the generators that would keep pumping the water?

Speaker 9 (01:12:55):
You know?

Speaker 12 (01:12:55):
So I know this sounds very very doomy and you know,
very dystopian and so forth, but it's real. Yeah, it's
not just me making this stuff up. People can go
see for themselves. And to that point, Brian, you know,
because I talk to a lot of other local governments,
both as the mayor of Fort Wright, trying to convince
them this is ree and his intrust trying to help businesses,

(01:13:15):
and you know, government agencies address these kind of things.

Speaker 6 (01:13:19):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:13:19):
I hate that I always have to be the doomsday
guy with a ten foil half. But I put together
a blog where I've just every time I see one
of these stories that's new because you know, you get
a lot of a lot of different reporting on the
same situation. So every new situation shows up that I
can find, I'm putting it in my blog. I'll share
that in the link today too, so people can see
for themselves that this isn't.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
A one off thing.

Speaker 12 (01:13:41):
It's not just you know, one local government in Wyoming.
It's not just one water plant in Peoria or something
these to continue to happen. You know, we've had huber
Heights and Columbus here locally had some pretty devastating cyber attacks.
Now they weren't critical infrastructure. They were more of your
standard I want to steal your money and steal your
data pay me a rant type of situation. You know,

(01:14:01):
huber Heights has publicly disclosed so far they've spend eight
hundred thousand dollars trying to recover from this ransomware attack.
Whose city has an eight spare eight hundred thousand laying
around in their budget?

Speaker 5 (01:14:14):
None that I know of, None I know either priority priorities,
day priorities.

Speaker 12 (01:14:20):
Exactly right.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
You want security in the cyber world, keep them infrastructure protected,
or maybe a new leg of the street car had
to go there. Dave Hatter, always a pleasure Intrust dot Com. Dave,
I can't thank you enough for the segment, Always informative.
Take heed Dave's advice or fail to do so at
your own peril Until next Friday, my friend, have a
wonderful weekend.

Speaker 12 (01:14:41):
Always my pleasure. Brian, you too, and real quick, we're
doing a seminar. It's free. It's a webinar. Intrust and
Housin's insurance next week on the twenty second details on
our site. So if you want to understand how insurance
does not protect you from these kinds of things, but
can help you in the event you have an incident,
come to our webinar.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
It's free.

Speaker 12 (01:14:59):
You'll learn lot about how to protect your organization and
why you want to have cybersecurity protection.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
And interest it dot com Till next Friday, Dave, take
care of my friend. Coming up at top of the
our news John Pearson running for GOP Commissioner, Hamion County Commissioner.
Race in full steam ahead. John Pearson after the news,
Talk October.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
The whole assassination is sounding off so ridiculous, it's surreal.

Speaker 13 (01:15:24):
Fifty five krz, the Talk Steation. This report is sponsored
by the Berna Les Lethal seven oh six, the fifty

(01:15:44):
five RCD talk station. Brian Thomas wishing everyone a very
happy Friday. I love my Fridays, and I love talking
to folks, and I love particularly when folks I'm talking
to are in studio. And thank you Jonathan Pearson, running
for Hamilton County Commissioner, for joining me in studio to
talk politics for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
Here. Jonathan good have you Ron? Well, thank you, Bryan,
I appreciated good morning. Uh, nothing really to talk about
in the world of politics, is there. No, it's a
slow world. It's uh, you know it may you live
in interesting times. These are such boring times, it is, Jonathan.
The first thing I said to you when you came
in the studio was like, commissioner race has really, really,
really been very low key. It's sort of like it's

(01:16:21):
just off in the distance someplace they haven't and there's
no rackous debates and no finger pointing and no you know,
prominent you know, display of alternative viewpoints why you should
vote for me and why you shouldn't vote for her,
that kind of stuff. Not a lot of reporting on
the commissioner's race either, you have any I mean, are
you in agreement with me on that jam? Since you're
the candidate, I mean, you would know better than anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
It's been very interesting because people I've spent more time
explaining what the commission does, right, because most people stare
at me, go what is it? So what I always
my tagline is it's the most boring important job in
the county.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Oh, that's a wonderful way of putting it because.

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
We deal with a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
It is the largest chunk of which is the Sheriff's department.
Of course, we're all pulling for Sheriff Jim Neil or
Jim Neil former sheriff. I think he's the best qualified
for the job. And don't recall anytime that Jim Neil
had his firearms stolen from his vehicle?

Speaker 5 (01:17:14):
No, I don't. I don't think Jim would be the
type to leave.

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
It in his car either, right, Yeah, and even can
you remember the lock your junk in your trunk campaign
to avoid smashing grabs?

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
Yeah, physician healed myself, eddiehow just Neiceter plugging there for
Jim Neil because I really support me.

Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
He's a good guy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
And of course Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Power is so
important to keep her for.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Oh, extremely, she's tough on crimes. She's the last She's
literally the last one in America that a major city
for Republican.

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
Oh that is so disheartening.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
It is because of the fact that the average Republican
thinks of their community as a safe, vibrant place to
walk around and do what they want to do. And
let's just think of these cities that we start talking about,
just one Detroit, Cleveland, you know, let's be local Indianapolis,
and you say, well, there's not a high crime in there.
The FBI just secretly snuck in the new crime status.

(01:18:11):
I saw that, and uh huh shocker. They went up
sixty five percent under Biden. G I'm stunned.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Yeah, yeah, And it's interesting, you know, honestly, I'm surprised
that data came out before the election, correcting the record
in advance.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Well they corrected it actually in September. That's how quiet
they did it. We didn't even know that and it
was found by accident by I think it was of
all things like USA today.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
It's hard which you wish. Who would have never figured
they would bring it forward?

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
Not exactly your conservative leaning newspaper, is that? Jonathan, Well,
let's talk about your qualifications. You're running for Hamilton County Commissioner.
Clearly you understand the job, since you're going around and
explaining it a lot to folks, But by way of
background and what what what qualifies you to the extent
anybody really needs to be qualified for office anymore? Quite often,

(01:19:01):
like for example, in the prosecutors race, some are not
qualified to that.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
Yeah, I'm stunned.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
But the Democrats were willing to put up somebody who
is nothing but a perennial runner.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
I mean, honestly, she runs for everything but qualified for nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
And it's I think their belief, and I think it's
a well founded belief, at least if you're a betting
man that Hamilton County is blue. Now, so if you
can just really run anyone with the D after the name,
they're going to win.

Speaker 11 (01:19:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
I would like to think, for you know that the
D in this case would stand at least for demonstrating
some talent.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
But I can't say that of that particular person. You
don't want to put her name on the record. You
want to remind my listeners who you're running against, because
Adam Kaylor also has an opponent.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Yeah, you know, we're running against three House and rece
for the Commissioner's office. And the reality is that I
wanted to run because there's a lot of money that
we're talking about. I mean, I don't think people understand
how much money that the commissioners deal with one point
three billion dollars and you know, deals with all the
moneies that come in from property taxes and from the
sales tax. It doesn't go to the city. The rest

(01:20:10):
is going through the county and we deal with that,
and those go to the various projects that you are
go around, and the most notable to everybody as a
sewer system and the Bengals Stadium and the convention Center.
Well those are monstrously large ticket items and I don't
think people realize what that means to their day to
day life in this little burg we call Hamlin County.

(01:20:31):
And my whole goal was simple, let's go in and
just as I say, am I thing well studied budget.
Everybody wants to have these fancies terms of balance structured budget,
which is just a lie. It's we've managed to fool
you so you're stupid enough to not look. That's our hope.
The reality is well studied budget is where you go
line by line by line and you just start picking

(01:20:52):
that thing apart and you look at it and say,
do we really need one hundred million for all of
these things? Do we need this job to be five
minus going to be done at three? This job for
five may need actually seven million? And then we start
getting this so when we go to things like the
sheriff's office, which is extremely important and one of the
largest things we fund. We actually have the money. We
can look at a good sheriff neil and say, hey,

(01:21:14):
what do you really need the money for? And you know,
do you need more for more deputies?

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
Do you need this?

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Because right now the sheriff's offices is funded ridiculously well
for the people that are there, and they're losing people
down and they'll she'll say that there's plenty of people
in there because their HR department said, no, actually, it's
going up. Well, as I mentioned in one interview, sure
it's going up. Because when you're in a hole, there's
only one way out, you know. So when that many

(01:21:40):
people walk away and you hire one more person, well
you've got you know, you're really on the move now.
And the challenge that we're facing and all of that
is why are they leaving? See, when we work politics
from identity as opposed to talent, it stops at the
door because once I see you at the door, I
know what you are.

Speaker 5 (01:21:59):
Whether you want to.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Say that you're you're gay, or you're black, or you're white,
or you're jew or whatever, all of that becomes pointless
when you sit down at the table to do the job.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
And so now it's mayor on behalf of every resident
of the county. Yeah, and we're made up of a
real wild mix of folks here in Hamilton County.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
That's the beauty of this county. I know, man, I know,
I think that's the beauty of this county because when
I was I grew up in Springfield, Ohio.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
There's a nice city to nothing going on there, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
So, but it was interesting because in my background, I
went to school in an inner city Catholic school and
it was inner city in every way except where it
was Catholic. But everything you expect to happen inner city school.
I mean we had to step over drunks and drug
addicts to get into the building. Okay, sometimes I have
to call sister, and sister so and so is drunk
and he's blocking the door and we can't open it.
I mean that was my school. And when I moved

(01:22:53):
to Cincinnati, I was stunned to meet people that didn't
go to school with black people.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
I didn't know that that was the impossible.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
So to come down to a community that got that
started to be more leaning towards an identity as opposed
to a community was a little strange to me. And
so I really got more involved in community itself. And
I love this county. You know, I live in Fairfax.
I love our little burg. It's very interesting little burg.
In the regards that I always joke and somebody said,
weren't you concerned about the riots? I said, no, they'd

(01:23:23):
discover that we believe in the Second Amendment. Yeah, you
don't see the riots in county either. Now the Fairfax
is not going to have a ride anytime soon, just
because of the reality. We firmly believe in the Second Amendment.
But the reality is that, you know, I looked at
it more from the community standpoint, and everything that I
got involved in, I never worried about somebody's identity other

(01:23:48):
than they identified as being part of the group.

Speaker 5 (01:23:51):
And I think that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
When we look at the Commission's office, we look at
it from the budget standpoint. We're not trying to pigeonhole
something to one thing. You know, right now, they keep
throwing money at this and say, see, we're giving money
to help this person. We're giving me money to help
this person, this group. Why aren't we helping somebody to
actually stand up on their own two legs and move forward.

Speaker 5 (01:24:10):
It is the infamous.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day,
teach him how to fish feed him for a lifetime,
and he becomes one of those community leaders. Well, that's
what our challenges in the county. People are tired of
being given fish, so they're leaving. It's the same thing
we're seeing at the Sheriff's department, And we've got to
get people to be part of this community and get

(01:24:34):
away from the identity of look at my individual You
have to recognize my personal individual identity as opposed to
a Hamiltonian County resident.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
Well, I'm in favor of merit. You know, the whole
concept of equity is you don't have someone of a
particular gender in the mix. Well, if there is someone
of a particular gender out there who is both best
qualified for the job, get that person out here and
have them run for the race. Yeah, And that's the point.
Color of skin doesn't matter, it's content of character. In

(01:25:06):
this particular case, merit and ability to handle the affairs
of Hamilton County on behalf of all Hamilton County residents.
Simple concept. Yeah, that's it. We'll continue with Jonathan Pearson.

Thomas enjoying my in studio conversation with Jonathan Pearson, who's
running for county commissioner, saying wise, rational, thinking, human being.
Amazing that someone like that is trying to enter politics.
Doesn't care about identity politics because he knows it doesn't
matter a whit at all. What are you going to

(01:27:51):
do for the county? He related a story to me
he met some guy who introduced himself as a gay man.
He's like, I'm straight, and the guy got little bit offended,
and you had an interesting back and forth with that,
ultimately proving to the guy it does not matter. Now
you haven't even told me your name yet. You said
to the guy like, oh, my name's Bill, and you
shake his hand, and it's like taking aback. And you know,

(01:28:14):
there aren't enough people like you to kindly, not angrily,
or just point something like that in a very friendly,
subtle way.

Speaker 5 (01:28:23):
Oh I'm straight. Yeah, Well what does that matter? Exactly?
That was your point.

Speaker 1 (01:28:30):
So anyhow, we do have one politician running for re
election in the county that really starts every conversation with
I'm a lesbian, doesn't matter. Are you doing the job
effectively and you are? Are you a good manager of people?
Are your people happy to be in your environment working
with you? And I think across the board pretty much
the answer is no. In certain departments. Beyond that, Jonathan,

(01:28:54):
you mentioned the sewer system, we're still onder that federal
consent to Creek. Correct. Let's talk about that a little bit,
because I know it is what multi billion dollar project.
Some projects like this deep tunnel they wanted to build,
were so dumb and so outrageously expensive. We've been able
to pair that back a little bit. But where's what's
the status of this and what would Jonathan Pearson be

(01:29:16):
doing relative to the sewer system.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
Well, the one thing that fascinates me about the sewer
system is I do a lot of maintenance for people,
So I clean out sewers, I'll do whatever, you know,
and I take care of things. So I'm used to
doing stuff that nobody sees. You know, your Pierson landscape,
in my Pearson's landscape, and so what I see because
I actually do maintenance within that company too, and so
I do a lot of stuff that once it's all

(01:29:39):
covered up, nobody saw what I did. And that's exactly
what the sewer system is. So nobody's seeing it. So
it's not like seeing the stadium redone, or a new
convention center or an addition to the convention center. Yet
it affects every one of us.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
We'll get to that suit.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
It affects every one of us in an enormous way
because flush your toilet, there you go. You just there's
a sewer system. Well, the challenge is who's actually checking
to make sure that we're doing these things? If you
go down to Fairmont, and.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
These things would be the solution of the problems that
are designed to fix the overflows.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
And part of it was the rain sewer. The rain
water and the regular sewer were mixed, and you know,
and we have a like we did that just the
other day. We had that massive water come through and
you mix that with your regular sewer, your sewers can't
handle that. And for some people in certain neighborhoods they
discover that painfully, and you know, and you're not being

(01:30:33):
backed up with nice clean water either. And for the
longest time, the Metro Sewer's way of repairing that was here,
here's a thousand bucks, get somebody to clean it up.
And you know, it's still that went into your basement.
Let's just think about that for a second. I know,
you like my dog pooping in the house, so why
would I want yours in my house?

Speaker 6 (01:30:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Point and so the same thing. But I but this
is where the FED stepped in and said, hey, you can't.
That's not a fix, that's not even a solution, and
so they said you have to do this. Well, this
is the ready shoot aim mentality that we did with
the stadium, we're doing with too many things, or did
it with this and metro sewer the same thing got

(01:31:13):
tagged across the river at st One. That's their comparable system,
And so they have to segregate all these systems. Well,
that's easier said than done. You've got a lot of
buildings sitting on top of the sewer systems because it's
not just as simple as digging up the street and
putting in a new pipe. There are buildings in the way,
there are streets in the way, there's infrastructure in the way.

(01:31:34):
And Fairmont, as I mentioned before, if you use that
as a great example, you go down there and is
this nice little running creek for the mill creek and stuff.
Well it might be nice, but to the residents that
lost their homes, and businesses that lost their businesses, and
the parking lots that are all missing, that's the effect
of what happens when we start sticking homes all over

(01:31:56):
the place without thinking of how to get rid of
the water and waste.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
Well, and I suppose you know, somebody made the decision
that those homes weren't worth saving, and that this project,
this greener way of you know, filtering out the water
and creating this nice park in an area that really
was rather run down. I don't think any we can
acknowledge that it was.

Speaker 2 (01:32:17):
It had its challenges, but you know, a challenge doesn't
mean that isn't somebody's home, And I think sometimes we
forget that part, and that's there are other ways to
manage to the water without destroying whole neighborhoods. But when
you start getting into the green movement and you want
to put the green movement in something that even though
it's practical draining off storm water, you don't need to

(01:32:38):
have a big, old, super wide creek with a park
sitting to the side. When you just took away Granny's
home at a certain point, where does green stop?

Speaker 6 (01:32:49):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
I always say that people say, well, yeah, but you know,
with all this urban sprawl and all these different things,
and then within the city we've got all this. I
always laugh and I say, I blame it on God.
He's the first one to make people have to move.
He kicked him out of the garden. So you know,
if we get over worried about having to build a
new home and different things going on, that's just part
of the human progress, you know, So don't be panicked

(01:33:11):
by it, but we'll incorporate you know, what we're doing
within that. And you know, I think that that's the
great challenge that we're facing right now with the sewer
project is people don't want it to happen in their neighborhood.
So let's go down to this neighborhood and we'll make
it green down here. Because I guarantee you that sewer
project that that kind of a cut wouldn't occurred in
the middle of Hyde Park.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
They also don't get a whole lot of Section eight
housing being so well.

Speaker 5 (01:33:38):
The connected community is trying to change that. Oh I know,
let's plaus is.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
You're a fifty five k city talk station. Brian Thomas
with a race for County commissioner that's running way low
under Riverty's raid arm. But I have one of the
candidates in studio here endorsed by the Hamilton Kunty Republican Party,
Jonathan Pearson. You are endorsed by the Republican Party. You're
on the right site.

Speaker 5 (01:36:15):
Yes, I am. I am endorsed. No, it's official.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
Take it for granted. No, he's right there. You can
find out where he is on the various issues. Of course,
his background and he's got some you know, business experience.
He is the owner operator Pearson's Turfin Landscaping. We were
talking about that, been doing that since nineteen ninety two
and moving away. So we talked about the sewer and
before we move away from the sewer. Just generally speaking,

(01:36:40):
that's one of the areas where I know we have
a consent degree. I know there have been some really
big arguments about certain projects, like for example, I mentioned
the deep tunnel thing, which I think got nixed because
of the outcry and.

Speaker 9 (01:36:52):
The seemingly stupid, stupid nature. It's not that simple to
dig a tunnel, No, it is not. People think you
just for a hole through use No, no, no, it's
not that stid.

Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
So are you aware of does anybody know what other
projects are already baked into the cake?

Speaker 6 (01:37:06):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
We're going to see more projects like you mentioned in Fairmont?
Is there a better way to do it?

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
To the details? I don't actually know all the firm
details of them. That's one of the things I'd like
to sit down with and actually see the actual plan
as to where things are, because.

Speaker 1 (01:37:22):
The back your initial comment we started.

Speaker 6 (01:37:25):
Just go through it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
And then the biggest thing is if you can keep
the actual plan on task and those who are in
the supervisory rules of running it, you know, daily reports,
not this we'll sit down every two weeks because I
think if you hold it to a daily event, because
the county runs daily yea, I mean there's a shocker
to some people it actually runs daily. And if you

(01:37:49):
look keep that on task and then go to the
subcontractors and actually know who they are and you know,
are they capable or was it again a you know
A yeah, you know, we get into and these are
examples of these projects.

Speaker 4 (01:38:03):
We do it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
We want to do it for the stateium want to
do it for the convention center. We get so caught
up and making sure that we do inclusion, that it
didn't occur to us.

Speaker 5 (01:38:11):
Can they do it?

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
The going back and is it equity or is it competentcy?
And a lot of people say, oh, you're anti inclusion. No,
I'm for who's ever the best guy walked up and
said I can do that job. If his company is
all whatever, I don't care. I don't care if it's
they're waving their flag of look at me where the
Jewish gay group?

Speaker 5 (01:38:35):
Fine, I don't care. Can you do the job?

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
Can you fix it?

Speaker 2 (01:38:39):
And so again, the identity stops at the door once
you go through and you have to actually do the job.

Speaker 1 (01:38:47):
Can you?

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
And I think that that's one of the challenges we face.
We get so caught up spending all this time making
sure we get all that taken care of. These projects
get waylaid because between the community here and between the
state in between the feds, they all say you have
to have ex percentage of this, EX percentage of that,
EX percentage of this, without occurring that if we haven't

(01:39:09):
helped these particular groups, like we got rid of vocational
schools here, there's a thought, hey, let's help people that
don't have a desire to go to college to actually
have a vocation. Huh, there's hell naive. My brother went
through a vocational school. He was a mechanic, he was phenomenal.
You know what, if you'd have kept him in a
four year high school, he'd.

Speaker 5 (01:39:31):
Never have achieved. No, Yeah, it's colleging for us.

Speaker 2 (01:39:34):
And I had a lot of friends went through vocational schools,
God bless them, and there was a great thing. And
now we're kind of like, well, yes, but little Johnny,
little Susie's got to get that college degree so she
can go out and be you know, she can get
that great degree in political science and do what.

Speaker 5 (01:39:52):
Well, guess what, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
I didn't make fun of that degree. That's the one
I got. But I knew I was going to go.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
I didn't go to I'm running for an office. And
I didn't get a pulit science degree because you.

Speaker 1 (01:40:01):
Don't need one. Trust you don't got what And no,
you don't if you're a fan of politics like I was,
and you want to get a degree in your hobby
like I did. But I know I was going to
go to law school. See, I didn't expect my political
science degree to be the source of revenue down the road.
I expected my law degree would serve me well, and
it did obviously shifted directions. But you know, there is

(01:40:23):
a demand in certain areas for lawyers, but there's not
just for political science degrees.

Speaker 5 (01:40:28):
So that's that's my whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:40:29):
And when we get so caught into this that we're
so worried about identity that we forgot of helping somebody
actually make a living back to teach a man to fish. Yes,
and so that's been what's slowing many of these projects
up well.

Speaker 1 (01:40:44):
And the explanation point on slowing these things up is obviously,
the more you kick the can down the road chasing
what butterflies or whatever, more expensive the project gets. Inflation
is a topic of conversational late and yes it does
impact construction more with hones. Just give me a second here,
because I'm going to steer you in the right direction
by telling you to go to Foreign Exchange get your

(01:41:05):
imported car fixed. Austin is the man, and he's got
a great team of AC certified Master technicians at that
Westchester location, which is the one I've always gone to.
Outstanding service family like environment and fixing your car with
a full warranty on parts and service and not costing
nearly as much as the dealer saved all kinds of
money taking the cars to Foreign Exchange, So you should

(01:41:25):
do the same thing because they do have access to
your manufacturers technical information, saying Brian, you don't even know
what kind of car I drive. I know I've seen
really exotic cars in there and have also well, my Honda.
I've been self deprecating that Honda looks terrible. It's got
one hundred and fifty thousand plus miles on it, but
it still runs great thanks to Foreign Exchange. No need
to get rid of it. Just keep it running and

(01:41:47):
think about winter time. Get your car winnerise, have them
check the battery, the tires, the fluid levels. Don't get
stuck in the frozen tundra parking lot because you didn't
have the battery checked out. They can do that for you. Also,
make sure you know you have brakes, are in good shape.

Speaker 6 (01:42:00):
You know what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
Just get ready for winter. You can do that at
four in Exchange Foreign The letter X dot com is
where you find them online. Tylersville exit off seventy five
is to get to the Westchester location. Just go two
streets each off of the on ramp to Tylersville or

Speaker 1 (01:43:17):
Five KRCD talk station Brian time of spending an entire
hour in studio with Jonathan Pearson, running for Hampton County
Commission endorsed by the Republican Party. And I thought, a
very thoughtful man. I guess you were getting the impressed
you've been listening to Jonathan speak over the hour, you know,
being thoughtful by going through the various documents page by page,
looking at more thoughtful solutions, say for the sewer project,

(01:43:38):
maybe ignoring and avoiding the stupidity of woke politics. And
let's just cut to the chase and hire bottom line competent,
capable people to do the job. And that's a great idea.
What interesting concept that content of character, not color of
skin or who you sleep with? Can you do the
job now? Jonathan, though, let's move over to the stadium.
I'm sorry, but one point?

Speaker 8 (01:44:00):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
Three billion?

Speaker 5 (01:44:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:44:03):
That's with a B.

Speaker 5 (01:44:04):
Yeah. Well, you know, Mike's got to have a nice
luxury office now.

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):
One three hundred stacks of a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
You know, I, as I tell people, I said, think
about this, that's the budget for the county, the.

Speaker 1 (01:44:19):
Entire budget for the entire county for a full calendar year.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
So for one project, for one company that they make,
that company makes money. Let's remember the NFL does revenue
sharing unlike the Major League Baseball, So that means if
you watch a San Diego game, the Bengals make money. Right,
So not that San Diego is playing the Bengals. The

(01:44:42):
Browns family is not standing at the free store. So
the reality is that I tell people, think about this.
You you take, you go home to your wife and
you say, honey, we're going to spend the entire year's
budget of everything we make on one project.

Speaker 5 (01:44:56):
How do you think that conversation is going to go
with your wife?

Speaker 1 (01:44:58):
Well, particularly if the project is really what I would
argue completely unnecessary question. Does the stadium currently function? Yes?
Can you watch a football game there? Yes? Does it
have all the amenities of every other stadium in the country. No,
But you know what it never did? And how can
you continue to compete with other cities when they keep

(01:45:19):
adding on? Is it a necessary thing to try to
compete with the city that hasn't even close to us?
Why would you? I mean, Lord Almighty I look at
like certain high school projects and what they've done at colleges,
and they expanded to make it like a resort spat. Yeah,
I didn't have any of that growing up. I went
to school and I had classes in a trailer for

(01:45:39):
God's sake, because they ran out of space. At Dhigh
Junior High. You know, we didn't have air conditioning back
in the old days. We had crappy locker rooms. And
you know, I'm sure the Bengals if they had all
they need is a locker to put their stuff in
to change clothes and get out there on the field.
Do they need a discothech locker room. Of course not,
but there it is anyway. Well, I just I don't

(01:46:01):
get it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:02):
I come from we homeschooled our girls, So I homeschooled
my girls at home, and I use that example because
all the new schools have to have these billion dollar schools,
they have to have all the newest stuff, the whiteboards
and everything. Well, my kids went to college being homeschooled,
and somehow we lived on the premise that if you

(01:46:22):
have four walls and a door, you can have a classroom. Well,
the same simplicity in my brain, this isn't a hatred
towards the Bengals. But here I'll use the P and
G as an example. P ANDNG brings in more money
than the Bengals because they don't play just ten times
a year in this stadium. They play every day downtown

(01:46:43):
and they have never been given one brick by the county.
Now I'm not saying that, gee, we need to kick
them out. What I'm saying is is this really the
best use of our money? And I know a lot
of people say we shouldn't ask that question because it's
our beloved Bengals. I think that's been the problem in politics,
is we get all caught with the shiny ring on
the wall and we keep running around the carousel trying

(01:47:03):
to grab it, and we forget to actually say, why
are we trying to grab the brass ring?

Speaker 5 (01:47:09):
And I'm starting to question that. What's you know?

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
Because La goes out and spends five and a half
billion dollars to dig a hole next to their airport
so they can put a stadium in the ground and
hide it so the planes you don't notice the planes
flying over it, and everyone goes We'll see they're spent
five and a that's LA. I don't care what they
do in LA. I don't care what they do in California.
I care what we do in Hamilton County. And Hamilton

(01:47:32):
County does not have that kind of money to throw
at one company that had the wherewithal in money to
buy out in cash the other half of the Bengals
from Paul Sawyer. We forget that there was a lot
of cash on the table that he actually bought the
team outright. I God bless the Brown family for only Bengals.
I have no issues with that whatsoever. And I actually

(01:47:52):
don't even have an issue that the Brown family asked
for us to do this, because you might as.

Speaker 5 (01:47:57):
Well ask what you know. You know, it's like all
of us who are married.

Speaker 1 (01:48:02):
Remember though, Jonathan, the ask came along with either an
out loud or at least implicit threat that if you
don't get me what I want, I'm taking my team elsewhere.
And that's not loyalty to me.

Speaker 2 (01:48:14):
And that's not loyalty to me and mine is that
When again, back to P ANDNG, P and G wanted
to put bricks in Broadway in front of their on Broadway,
in front of their towers, and they offered to buy
all the bricks, all the materials for the city, and
the city said, we're not putting them down.

Speaker 5 (01:48:31):
We're just not. We pave it or we don't.

Speaker 1 (01:48:33):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
And P and G said, fine, we'll do it. And
the PNG paid out of their pocket to do a
public street project. Well, let me think about which company
has more in tune to saying I'm serving. They didn't
threaten to leave. Oh, you're not giving me anything, so
I'm gonna leave. We're gonna go move to some other
We're gonna move to Mexico City. Well, I think Mexico City.

(01:48:57):
I never even understood that. Has anybody actually mentioned in
the odds of Americans being kidnapped or held for ransom?
Let me think, let's put a millionaire family from America
in Mexico City and see how safe without having a
ridiculous security team to keep around them.

Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
Well, they are trying to expand the market share around
the globe. Maybe they should have said the you know,
Xingyang province in China is a possible.

Speaker 5 (01:49:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:49:22):
I just my whole thing is, you know, let's rethink
this and actually ask the question without the fear and
you know they've got to back down the rhetoric from
their side.

Speaker 5 (01:49:30):
We have to actually up our ability to actually look.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
At this with open eyes, full transparency and say what's
the real goal here.

Speaker 1 (01:49:38):
Adam Kaylor suggested, we need to get a cooperative a
group of a whole group of people who are willing
to put some money in to act as a potential
buyer of the team, which I believe I'm some roadbox
in the way of the Brown family threatening to leave.
If there's another possible buyer, then apparently, somehow under the rules,
that can't be done. I don't profess the note Jack.

Seven fifty two, fifty five Krcity Talk station. I'm gonna
give Jonathan a couple of minutes to do a closing
statement here in a moment, but first let us catch
ourselves a crime stopper, bad guy of the week, and
today it's not a bad guy, it's a bad girl.
She looks harmless. Officer Lisa Baker from the sincea police department,
look at that innocent little face.

Speaker 14 (01:52:16):
Not so can be deceiving yaiving. We are looking for
Nakisha Greer. She's been indicted on three counts of felony
theft and for telecommunications fraud Nakeisha Greer. She's a black female.
She's twenty seven years old. She's five foot two, one

(01:52:37):

If you know where Nakeisha Greer is, give crime Stoppers
a call five to one three three five two forty,
or you can submit a tip online crime dash stoppers

eligible for a cash reward. Officer Baker, God bless you
in the Sinsint Police Department. Keep up the great work
and I have a wonderful weekend. All right, Jonathan, I'll
give you the remaining couple of minutes we got here.
Anything else you want to get out, I didn't if
I didn't steer you in the right direction or get
on a topic you want to talk about well, I
think the easiest.

Speaker 2 (01:53:25):
You know, the whole reason that I look at what
we can do in the county is, you know, let's
look at this budget. See what we're wasting money on.
See we're you know, not wasting money on. See what
we need to be.

Speaker 5 (01:53:34):
Spending more prioritized.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
But since we can't affect the taxes directly in the
commission office, we can affect the budget and then do
the bully pulpit and talk about the taxes because once
other businesses know we're serious about a good bucket budget
in this county, they might be attracted. Well, there's a thought,
let's bring businesses back. Guess what those businesses bring with

(01:53:56):
them jobs, So back to the we can help the
man fish forever. We also then get other companies. Look
into that company that come in, they come in. These
are residents now that start coming in. And suddenly, now
our tax base is expanded to numbers. We can have
a lower tax base but actually make more money for
the county and the surrounding communities within the county, and

(01:54:17):
we don't need to keep raising taxes or have these
ridiculously false evaluations of homes.

Speaker 1 (01:54:22):
Well, if we had appropriately prioritized over the years and
focused on the core that brings people in, which is
infrastructure and safety. Infrastructure and safety, if you have a
safe community with a good infrastructure, roads you can drive on,
and not the multitude of potholes, et cetera, the seemingly
absolute dysfunction on that. That creates an opportunity for people

(01:54:44):
to consider and say, you know what, maybe I will
be paying a little bit more taxes in Milmilton County
compared to Claremont, but look at all that I'm going
to get in return for that. I have solid roads,
i have safe communities in Hamilton County. I'd rather have that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:56):
Then they have a good opportunity with Melissa Powers and
Jim Neil, the excellent opportunity to make exactly that first
point to save community with those two two candidates.

Speaker 5 (01:55:04):
They are excellent people.

Speaker 1 (01:55:05):
And if you are an elected commissioner, along with Adam Kayler,
maybe a more thoughtful budget process, one that focuses on
priorities seven to fifty five. Jonathan, You're always welcome here.
Good luck in the race. I know we're fast approaching
election day, but again, Jonathan Pearson, find him on the

Speaker 15 (01:56:28):
Thank you, Brian, Good morning. I'm happy to be on
the show. This morning.

Speaker 1 (01:56:31):
Oh it's a pleasure having you on, and I really
hope that you get elected. We need some folks that
are tough on crime. You are demonstrably so let me
just point out to my listeners.

Speaker 4 (01:56:39):
I love this.

Speaker 1 (01:56:41):
I hate hate child abuse. I think that's probably the
most horrific crime that can be committed, is abusing an
innocent child who usually is very trusting of some adult.
You deal with that all the time. You received the
Outstanding Service Award from the Cincinnia Children's Hospital Mayorson Center
in honor of Child Abuse Awareness Month. And also, and
I love this award apparently from the Hamilt County Prosecutor's

(01:57:03):
Office the kick Ass Prosecutor of the Year twenty twenty
three award as well. Well done there in terms of
looking out for children.

Speaker 15 (01:57:12):
Thank you. I got those awards last year because myself
and my co counsel Ernest Lee and Rich Snider and
had a case involving John and Kate Snyder, who are
a couple from Springfield Township who adopted six children from China.
They abused all their children, They even had a biological child.
They had three biological children too, and one of them

(01:57:33):
they abused as well, and of the six kids from China,
one diet of natural causes the first, and then the
rest of them they abused and one of them they
actually killed. So last year, actually at this very time
last year, were in a we were in this trial
lasted six weeks and we got a conviction which was terrific.

(01:57:55):
And now Kate Snyder's doing thirty one years to life
and John Pyers doing twenty nine years to life for
killing their son Adam and abusing their other children. And
because of our work with Children's Hospital and this case,
that's why we got those awards.

Speaker 11 (01:58:11):
I got those wars last year, and I'm very.

Speaker 6 (01:58:13):
Proud of that.

Speaker 1 (01:58:14):
Well I would be too. I mean, a demonstrably tough
on crime and apparently you're in front of a judge
that at least had the wherewithal of sentence into some
serious time.

Speaker 15 (01:58:23):
Yes, we were very thankful for that. It was a
hard fought battle. These people fought us tooth and nail.
At one point, the couple even tried to sue the
coroner's office to get the cause of death change because
they wanted to they wanted to say Children's Hospital was
at fault.

Speaker 11 (01:58:39):
It was a long heart.

Speaker 5 (01:58:41):
Hollard fought battle well.

Speaker 1 (01:58:43):
To my listeners, you might not understand the distinction. As
a common please judge versus working in the appellate level.
You're going to be dealing with both criminal and civil matters.

Speaker 15 (01:58:52):
Correct, correct, Criminal Civil. I will handle cases from municipal court,
common please Court, the domestic Relations Court, and juvenile court.
You here, it's a reviewing court. So anything any hearing
that goes on in any of those courts, if someone
wants to appeal it, it goes to our Court of Appeals.

Speaker 1 (01:59:11):
And why do you view the role of judge. I
know we have activist judges, which I am not a
fan of, and we have more traditionalist judges who review
the facts and the case law and judge things accordingly
based upon the law. They do not rewrite laws. If
there are flaws or constitutional issues in connection with the law,
it's identified and it's basically referred back to the legislative

(01:59:34):
brands to do the fixing. That's the way things are
supposed to work, at least in my mind. What's your perception.

Speaker 15 (01:59:41):
I feel like the reason why I am personally running
for judge is we've had all these judges who go
about they want to change the law. I am going
to follow the law. I'm going to follow the constitution
of the State of Ohio and the United States, and I.

Speaker 11 (01:59:59):
Don't I don't want.

Speaker 4 (02:00:00):
You know.

Speaker 15 (02:00:00):
The reason why I ran is that that case that
I got all those awards for, I was scared that
it was going to go up to our Court of
Appeals and be reversed. Oh and I didn't want to
see that happen.

Speaker 1 (02:00:11):
I'm sorry, Oh no, no, no, I was just going
to say, I mean, what possible grounds could it have
been reversed if you didn't have an appropriate makeup on
the appellate court.

Speaker 5 (02:00:20):
Well, prior to.

Speaker 15 (02:00:23):
My trial going forward last year, there was a trial
murder case that went through that one of the judges
up in common and please just decided to reverse it
because he decided the jurors didn't make the right decision.
And I don't know how he can make that determination.
He didn't see the witnesses testify, right, He didn't get
to go to the scene like the jurors got to do.

(02:00:43):
He didn't get to hold the evidence in his hand.
He didn't hear the tone of the voices of the
witnesses who were testifying was a one dimensional item was
a transcript. I know myself and the job that I
do as a cross gear, which I've been doing for
almost twenty years now. You know, we get interviews of
time and we get him transcribed, and reading the transcript

(02:01:03):
is a lot quicker than listening to him. But listening
to him you seem body language, You see the tone
in their voice, and that goes to their credibility. And
if you don't watch those items, and if you just
go from a one dimensional transcript, I don't know how
you can determine that twelve people that witnessed all these
people testify made the wrong decision.

Speaker 5 (02:01:22):
Yeah, you have to have respect for the jurors. That's
exactly what they're there for.

Speaker 4 (02:01:26):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:01:26):
I was on a criminal well yeah, criminal trial. Guy
pressed charges against guy. It was basically he said, she
said kind of thing. But it came down to witness credibility.
The guy that was loving the charges claimed he got
assaulted and assaulted. And after hearing him speak and what
his recitation and events were, and then hearing from the
other guy, it was obvious who was lying. We all

(02:01:47):
walked into the jury room. I said, is there anybody
who here who doesn't have reasonable doubt. And everybody looked
at me and said nope. I said, we're done. We
deliberated like a minute. I mean, that's what the jury does.
And how a judge could could overrule that and without
seeing the witnesses or hearing them is beyond me. But
isn't there a legal standard for the review of evidence
on appellate level?

Speaker 15 (02:02:10):
Yes, there is, but they also you know, we have
activists judges upstairs, and if they're they're kind of I
want to say. When I first started working down here
in two thousand and one, I worked for a judge
and when the prosecutors came in the room, they were
well respected by the court. We are not well respected
by the court anymore. We walk into the courtroom and

(02:02:31):
they are automatically think we've done something wrong, we haven't
provided something without even knowing, and so we go up
when our cases go upstairs, it's all we already have
a mark against us before they even read anything. And
a lot of those judges haven't been trial court prosecutors
or attorneys. They've just been like one was a clerk

(02:02:53):
over or a law clerk for one of the judges.
They haven't tried cases. They haven't heard cases actually being tried.
They just hear argument, So they have a different perspective
than someone like myself who's spent twenty years in the courtroom.

Speaker 1 (02:03:07):
Over twenty years in the courtroom, right, Yeah, we seem
to have a lot of that going on with the
prosecutor's race right now here in Hamilton County. Allow me
to interject Melissa Powers for Hamilton County Prosecute. We need
to keep her in that role because she's tough on
crime as well. Well, yes, I guess for those so
many people just maybe either don't vote down ballot or

(02:03:27):
they'll simply vote party ticket. And in connection with someone
who's literally never tried a case or done nothing beyond
being a legal a law clerk for someone else, how
that person could get elected is really to me, having
practiced law and been in courtrooms for sixteen years, you
know that's really important. I could never cast a vote

(02:03:47):
for someone with that little experience, especially on an appellate level.
That's the problem with you know, the endorsement and us
being in Hamilton County blue. If if she's on or
he is on the blue ticket, some one will just
vote because of that and nothing else.

Speaker 15 (02:04:04):
Right. We Actually I've been spending some time down at
the Board of Elections at the polls. You know, now
that early voting has started, people just I stand there.
I will say that there are a lot more people
coming over and wanting the pink sheet, which is fabulous
and I'm thankful for that.

Speaker 3 (02:04:19):
But you're right, people do just go get the blue sheet.

Speaker 15 (02:04:21):
And they vote straight down that ticket, and they don't
know who they're voting for. I think you need to
ask people who are in the court system, not not
like someone handing out a blue sheet.

Speaker 6 (02:04:31):
Call it.

Speaker 15 (02:04:31):
If you know people who practice law in the court system,
ask them, get their recommendations.

Speaker 5 (02:04:36):
They'll know who to vote for.

Speaker 1 (02:04:38):
That's very important. I mean, well, right, it may be
a little problematic. I know how little people care about
politics generally speaking, and then to dive into an area
where they have no experience and hopefully will have no
experience ever the judicial system. You know, getting folks to
ask questions on these downballot rates can be problematic, but
you do. You are on the pink slip, are endorsed

(02:05:00):
by the Republican Party, and I know for my listeners
that probably will be enough. But I will encourage folks
to go to Lufton for Judge dot com and check
out your credentials as well. I mean, really a great
background qualified to do the job.

Speaker 3 (02:05:13):
Yes.

Speaker 15 (02:05:14):
And on my website left and for Judge dot com
there are I linked some of my cases that I've
had in the past.

Speaker 10 (02:05:21):
Yeah, I had.

Speaker 15 (02:05:24):
You talked about my Snyder case. There was also I
had a case last year as well, a man named
Diland Hurt who was a known killer.

Speaker 1 (02:05:31):
He had killed a lot of people.

Speaker 15 (02:05:32):
They hadn't been able to have enough evidence to go
forward on him. Last year we were able to try
him and he is as he's doing life without the
possibility of parole now because of his killing of one
person and attempted murder on two others. Actually one of
the other people. He's paralyzed for life. And that case

(02:05:53):
was crazy. We tried it.

Speaker 2 (02:05:54):
It was a little over a week.

Speaker 15 (02:05:56):
He acted out in court. He punched his attorney. At
one point. He had tried to have drugs smuggled in
through pants because he peede himself during trial and he
had to get a new set of pants, and his
family brought pants in and there were drugs stown into it.
I mean the things that I have seen in the
past year, and the hard fought battles I had last

(02:06:17):
year with these really bad people is what drove me
to decide to run profit.

Speaker 1 (02:06:22):
Well, I'm glad you are running, and I'm glad to
have you on the program, and I will strongly encourage
my listeners do some research. I mean, as far as
I'm concerned, go ahead and trust the pink slip, as
I have just got done saying people will just trust
the blue slip and vote for the Democrat. You are
voting for someone who is undoubtedly woke and someone who
is not going to be tough on crime. If you
do that. If you want traditional judge, you want someone

(02:06:44):
who understands the practice. You want someone who is not
going to try to rewrite laws or do something crazy
like dismiss Jersey. Evaluation of the evidence and witness testimony.
You know you're in the right hands with states left
in here. Can I just point out one more thing
about your background, because it took me way back. Your
family owns Provident camera.

Speaker 15 (02:07:07):
Yes, my family owned Providence Came. That was my first
job was working. I used to go down on Saturday
mornings with my dad and I would help out in
the store and for my work, I would get twenty
dollars for the day, which I thought was very exciting
when I was younger.

Speaker 1 (02:07:22):
Oh yeah, I used I'd love going in there. That
was the best camera store around forever. And you know,
it's just weird to see with digital photography the way
things have changed. I'm sorry to take you down that road,
but I had a little wisp of nostalgia when I
saw that, because I had an olympus om one when
I was in junior high school and I used to
stare longingly at you know, telephoto lenses and auto winder

(02:07:43):
stuff I could never have afforded, but it was always
right there. It was drool candy for me when I
was a young man. Anyway, Stacey left in vote for
her appellate court. It's right there at lefton ll left
on for Judge dot Com. I wish you all the
best as we fast approached the election.

Speaker 15 (02:07:59):
Stacey, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (02:08:02):

Author of his first book, which we're talking about today,
Land Rich, Cash Poor, My Family's Hope and the Untold
History of the Disappearing American Farmer, author Brian Reisinger. But
he's more than an author. He's got a background that's
rather impressed. Who grew up on a family farm in

(02:10:37):
Salt County, Wisconsin. And of course this is what the
book is premised on. Columnists consultant. He's worked with his
father from the time he could walk and before entering
the world of business, journalism and public policy. If you
see where he has been published, if I had read
the list off of all the outlets like Usay Today
and Yahoo News and the newspapers, that would spend the

(02:10:57):
entire time up with that. But he's well published, and
again his first book, Welcome to the Morning Show. It's
a real pleasure to have you on today, Brian Reisinger.

Speaker 3 (02:11:06):
Hey, good morning, Thanks for having me. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (02:11:08):
Yeah, your background, so I do come from a farming background,
not me. I did not farm, but I laid witness
to I have uncles that had farms on my father's
side of the family, and my wife is the daughter
of a dairy farmer from a little town called Avella, Pennsylvania.
He's departed, but he worked his butt off, and I

(02:11:29):
bet you have some understanding of what kind of work
it takes to run a dairy farm.

Speaker 4 (02:11:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:11:36):
Truely, those are some good roots you've got. I appreciate
hearing about that. You know, it is a beautiful way
of life. It's a difficult way of life, and we
take it all as it comes.

Speaker 8 (02:11:45):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:11:45):
The best example I have, we talk about this in
the book. My dad was inducted in the family business
at the tender age of eight. Yeah, when my grandpa
is climbing on a corn crib and slipped off till
thirty feet and broke his back on the frozen ground.
And my grandpa ultimately got back up on his feet.
But my dad started doing the work of a man
at eight years old, and he loved it. He loved
the calves and the clean country air when he was

(02:12:06):
a kid, and he had never stopped. In fact, I
was talking him this morning. He's getting ready to harvest
corn a little bit later today. And you know, it
just shows what farm families go through, the kind of
resilience they have, and the difficulty of life, but the
beauty of the way of life, because it gets down
in your blood and your bones and you come.

Speaker 1 (02:12:20):
To love it too well. And if you didn't have
that childhood experience, I can't imagine a young person these
days grows up in the comfortable suburbs playing video games
all day ever entering the world of farming and taking
on that commitment because once they you know, stare the real,
legitimate hard work that you have to do literally every
day in the face, recognizing that if you don't do

(02:12:41):
the hard work, you're going to starve. Uh, No one's
going to go down that road. This is a generation
after generation matter of pride more than an economic boon.

Speaker 3 (02:12:51):
Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean it has such a
big impact on so many issues in our country. You know,
our food prices, our food availability, but it's also part
of who we are are in such a big way.
I'm grateful to have grown up there. And you're right,
it's so difficult and there's a lot of hard work.
You work and sun up to sun down. You learn
a lot of good values along the way, and you
also get a lot of incredible experiences, you know. I

(02:13:11):
remember gettingup at odd hours when there was a cow
who was having a hard time delivering her calf and labor,
and my dad had take us down to the barn
and he'd helped deliver the calf. We watch it take
its first breaths.

Speaker 11 (02:13:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:13:21):
Things like that, you learn about the circle life, the
value hard.

Speaker 1 (02:13:24):
Work, and other things you know, and that's interesting, And
I keep thinking again of my father in law. I
had more experience seeing what he had to do day
in and day out. And I've heard so many stories
from my wife over the years, that sense of community,
especially in a little tiny community like of Bello, Pennsylvania,
which no one's ever heard of. You know, he slaughtered
a cow. It was tough economic times, I think it
was back in the seventies or maybe even earlier than that.

(02:13:45):
But he was a family that needed some help and
her dad was happy to help out and give them
some of the meat from the slaughtered cow. That sense
the community really really is steeped into the equation, and
I think that's a real blessing, and that's something a
lot of people don't have in their life. But it's
a character building thing.

Speaker 4 (02:14:00):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:14:01):
My wife can tell the same story as you about Listen.
If you're old enough to pick up something and help
out in some way, you're going to be working at
that age, and she worked from you all the time
you're sitting around there's nothing to do. No on a farm,
there's always something to do, and kids participating that from
as soon as they can, just like you.

Speaker 3 (02:14:20):
Yeah, man, you are so right. You know. It reminds
me of a story of my family back in the
late nineteen seventies early nineteen eighties as we were headed
toward what was called the farm crisis, where tens of
thousands of farms got wiped out all over the Midwest,
my home state, as well as where you guys are,
and in all over the country too. And what happened
is the year my parents were married, nineteen seventy six,

(02:14:42):
they actually had faced a drought and we had dry
conditions or wipe out our crops, and they had local
neighbors who let them pick up, you know, loose hay
off their barn. There was an old man nearby who
told my dad, Hey, if you do the harvest for me,
I'm too old to do the work. If you do
the harvest for me, we can go have so you
can have half my hay crop. And it's what got
them to the winter. It kept them from taking out

(02:15:02):
a whole bunch of debt before the farm crisis, which
is an era when debt drove all kinds of farms under.
And that is something you see over and over where
that unique farmland spirit. That's that blend of being willing
to come run when a neighbor's in need. And also
the individualism it takes the bigger living out of the dirt.
It's both those things and it's something that slips away
in this country as our farms disappear. Unfortunately.

Speaker 11 (02:15:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:15:23):
And you know, when I was a younger person, you know,
more of a kill mall that God sorted out, kind
of a conservative. Now I find myself to being the
little libertarian category. And of course, before I married my
wife and was introduced more intimately with the realities of farming.
I always was one of the guys would say, well,
what corporate farms. You know, there's Mellencamp out there doing
farm aid. If they can't survive corporate farms, Well they're bigger,

(02:15:45):
they're more efficient, they're backed by big money. Isn't that
the direction to go? But there's something that you said
about preserving the family farm, you know there is.

Speaker 3 (02:15:53):
And here's the way I look at it too. I mean,
I think it's important to understand economics. Those farms, to
your point, they got bigger, trying to make it, trying
to survive, and there's things all across our entire economy
that are driving that. And the issue is in our
country's history. And we found this as we looked at
the book, because we've hidden airs of history driven the
disappearance of these farms with my family story, and as

(02:16:14):
I examine what was going on, we found that time
after time, there's ways that our government as well as
other things, really stack the deck against small farms. And
so it's not that family farms are saying, hey, we need,
you know, super special treatment or anything like that. What
family farms are saying is hey, we want a fair shot.
And there's ways that family farm has been stamped out
over the decades, one way or another for years and

(02:16:36):
years and years. So you know, some of those bigger farms,
they got bigger needing to make it, find ways to
be more efficient, and you know, they've got a role
that they play, and a lot of these family farms,
a lot of these smaller farms, you know, they've got
the ability to play a role too, and they're as
efficient as competitive. They just aren't as big and don't
have that scale, but there's a role they can play,
you know, whether it's in a niche of our food

(02:16:56):
economy or what have you. Those are the things that
I'm exploring, is how we have farms of all kinds
being able to find a way for because if family
farms get a fair shot, they can do that well.

Speaker 1 (02:17:05):
And I get a sense that, you know, a lot
of people, I don't know whether it's a majority, and
that doesn't matter, but a sufficient number of people appreciate
everything you are talking about and talk about in the
book Langridge Cash Poor. But this goes along with this
push to buy local. You see it all over the place.
We try to locally source ingredients. That really translates to

(02:17:25):
we're buying from local small farms and businesses.

Speaker 3 (02:17:30):
Yeah, you're so right, And we are at a time
in our country where people care more than ever about
where their food comes from. And I think that's an opportunity.
You know, we've lost forty five thousand farms per year
on average for the past century. That's a devastating amount
of us seventy percent of our farms. But we still
have a lot of farms left in this country. People
are amazed to hear that eighty eight percent of them

(02:17:50):
are small farms. And what we need to do is
figure out a way to make those farms go from
being supplemental income to full time income. Because Lobby's families,
the way they can hold on their farms is they
work multiple jobs. You know, they're working construction sites, of
pulling factors, just porn concrete, and working upon How do
we find a way to have these farms be growing
entrepreneurial ventures again they can be full time income for
these families. Well, one of the ways is everybody caring

(02:18:14):
about where their food comes from and taking steps to
buy from local and regional food sources and support their
farmers with new economic opportunity.

Speaker 1 (02:18:21):
Absolutely right, and I just have to ask you because
it seems to me the EPA, the federal government is
literally everywhere. Is there a risk or is there are
there threats posed by the regulatory oversight that seems to
be more and more intrusive in our world, and that
I presume a small farmer would have a much larger
struggle complying with Are you do small farmers feel that

(02:18:43):
intrusion or haven't they got there yet?

Speaker 4 (02:18:45):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:18:45):
Yeah, I figured it was yes, go ahead and explain.

Speaker 5 (02:18:48):
Yes, yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:18:50):
I mean those things create such cost Here. Here's the
thing about our whether it's our regulations or our farm
programs with the substitution or whatever. The issue is, there
are people on the right, the left, outside farming, inside
fruming have something that they I don't like about it.
We have so many things we got to change. One
of the issues that we face is that regulatory burden.
It creates expenses, it creates costs, It makes it more
difficult to trying new types of business. All these things,

(02:19:12):
and they're designed to go after the big farms. But
the issue is not only those big farms. Trying to
figure out a vag can handle the costs you get
the small farms that have to face similar regulations, and
it really is something that they're not in a position
to be able to afford. And so in many cases,
a lot of these regulations end up hurting some of
the very farms that some of these folks say that

(02:19:32):
they would support as well, which is an irony of
unintended consequences of government.

Speaker 1 (02:19:37):
No question about it. And Lord, don't we live with
that reality every single day. The name of the book
Landridge cash Board, My Family's Hope and the Untold History
of the Disappearing American Farmer. But my guest today Brian Reisinger. Brian,
you still own the family farm.

Speaker 3 (02:19:53):
Hey, I appreciate you asking. My dad owns a farm
and my sister's we're going to take it over. She
has a little more talent for cattle and crops than
I do, so while I work to tell our stories
in my career off the farm, she's working to take
it over. But they do still throw me in a
tracker in my days off and I help on on
the business side. So it's a family venture, on and
on to each generation.

Speaker 1 (02:20:11):
Well that's great. I don't know where she got it,
probably definitely one hundred percent for my wife, my daughter,
it's not we call it the farm, but she and
her boyfriend hopefully soon to be fiance then husband, Eric,
got five and a half acres, They got a farm tracker,
they had a successful year growing vegetables and crops, and
they're on their way to almost Eric's building a chicken

(02:20:32):
coop right now, so it'll soon be a really tiny
family farm, but a farm nonetheless, and we are just
enjoying the hell out of them making progress and being
so proud of what they're trying to accomplish. So there's
a little bit of genetics in there and I think's
helping them out. Brian, it's been a real pleasure. But
your book is on my blog page fifty five Carosee
dot com, so my list isn't no right where to

(02:20:52):
go to get a copy of land Ridge Cash Poor.
Great conversation, Brian, uplifting and I wish you all the
best and hopefully so lot of books. I think it's
a very interesting and important subject.

Speaker 3 (02:21:03):
Hey, thank you so much. I hope people go on
there and find it on your page. It's also available
on Amazon anywhere. If people buy books online or at bookstores,
they have it or they can order it for you,
and I just hope we can keep conversation going on
these issues.

Speaker 1 (02:21:14):
So I appreciate your time exactly. I will too. Take
care man, have a wonderful weekend. It's coming up in
e forty one to fifty five KRC the talk station

Speaker 5 (02:21:24):
Fifty five KRC, hey Bo
