55KRC Friday Show - Tech Friday, Empower U, HEART 4 Seniors, Josh McConkey, Vets and Brews

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Five five at Think You five k r C the
talk station. Happy Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Vacation.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
There we go. You know it's Friday because Joe threw
and a woo hoop. Nothing you needed to be reminded
of that. I'm sure but happy about Friday as I am.
Just love my Fridays here, especially on the fifty five
Mornings show because it's Tech Friday. I always enjoy hearing
from Dave Hanner from Interest I T today's topics Kentucky
warning parents about sexual predators on apps. Joe, do you

(00:52):
think there are any parents out there that aren't aware
of that by now? I guess I would be surprised. Anyhow,
don't let medical collective and monetize your personal data. Continuing
your theme and how phish data turns into mobile wallet data.
All right, I'll learn something this morning, as I always

(01:14):
do with Tech Friday's Day. Vatter six point thirty for that.
Dan Raganold the return of Dan Raganold, the inventor, founder
of in Person, responsible for the Empower You America Well
education series. They just span a variety of topics and
there's some really cool topics we're going to find out
because it's another empower you Spring Seminar. Dan returns at
seven oh five to run through the list that will

(01:36):
be available for you free. Just log in from home
and the vast majority of them or show up at
the Empower Youth studio. Heart four Seniors had them on before.
Patty Scott, Roger King and sewn Or Rutherford going to
join the program to talk about seniors and incontinence care.
And they got a new podcast and they have amazing
solutions for that issue. This's issues and folks in senior
facilities and it's just an awful awful thing to behold.

(02:00):
And boy, it's just a brilliant, brilliant concept. They've got
to solve the problem. We need to get it more
widely adopted. So that's why I'm pleased to head them
back on the program. Thank you Joe for lining them up.
Eight oh five. Air Force Colonel Josh McConkey with the
book Be the Way Behind the Spear. Also apparently a
combat physician, so we'll learn about the book and what

(02:22):
it involves at eight oh five and then the return
uh Matt damaris So along with Sean Hensley, Vets and
Brew Bourbon Raffle and concert. Matt goes around buys veterans
beer through your contribution and Patriots Landing, that wonderful organization
over in northern Kentucky that makes the Patriotic wood products

(02:42):
that you can buy to serve their mission. And their
mission is a terrific one, getting veterans together, giving them
an opportunity for employment, camaraderie, shared experiences, and it's great
for the psychological psychological benefits for the American veteran. God
bless Patriots Landing. So go for the beer. Three dollars
goes to the Patriots Landing and they have put together

(03:04):
a ton of money through your contribution. So we'll get
Matt and Krue back on at eight thirty to talk
about the raffle bourbon raffles. These things really are awesome. Ah,
let us see here. You know, I feel about the
whole religion of global warming. And you know we've been
observing Europe fall apart Germany most notably. You know, they
don't make there, they don't produce their own energy. They

(03:25):
gotta buy it from somebody else. Their price of energy
there is like four times what anybody else in the
European Union pays. Why, because they're chasing this green energy
nonsensical thing like reducing carbon emissions down to zero. Fine,
go ahead, turn your nuclear reactors off. What good is
that going to do? None? You pull the plug on

(03:47):
your an abundant clean power to satisfy the what the
Greta Thunbergs of the world, who really would like us
all to live as people living in third world? Does?
Zero production? Zero can some basically starvation existence in huts,
boiling it down. But at some point reality runs into fantasy,

(04:08):
and you got to put beside fantasy because the reality
is you can no longer well produce anything. And that's
what's going on right now. European Commission said it's in
its Affordable Energy Action Plan. It was just released. Of
all things, they're looking to invest in liquefied natural gas
projects elsewhere abroad, So don't do it at home. But

(04:30):
if you do it abroad, I guess maybe it doesn't
impact your efforts to be a zero emissions European Union, hmm.
But if you get it from someplace else, it makes it. Okay.
I'm trying to make sense of this, but it's part
of a broader effort to cut their record high energy prices, which,
according to the announcement threatens the European Union's global standing

(04:52):
and international competitiveness No kidding. Commission said our energy costs
remained comparatively high, putting at a real risk of de
industrialization and posing a critical threat threat for the economy.
You couldn't see that coming, like fifteen twenty thirty miles
away when you went down this green path. De Industrialization

(05:15):
is what the globalists want, at least it appears that way.
That's the whole thing behind the green, the green religion.
You're killing the planet anyway. They say their joint purchasing
power should be harnessed by exploring the option of longer

(05:38):
term contractual agreements to make prices more stable. Contractual agreements
for the importation of liquid natural gas Commission said it
could include schemes whereby the EU and or member states
could also accompany European Union importers in investing directly and
export infrastructure abroad, providing preferential loans to private investors by

(06:01):
securing gas liquefication rights or purchase options. Blah blah blah
blah blah. We're going to invest elsewhere so they have
export facilities, so they can load up the LNG ships
to bring the stuff here where we'll use it because
we cut our run throats because of our own energy policies. Apparently,

(06:22):
for industries retail electricity prices they have almost doubled. For
medium sized industrial consumers, prices in twenty twenty three remained
ninety seven percent above the twenty fourteen to twenty twenty average.
So you know, whatever it is they're producing is going
to cost the end consumer a hell of a lot
more money because it costs them a hell of a

(06:43):
lot more money to make it because everything runs on electricity.
Duh that said. Apparently, according to the reporting, European Union
countries are locked into a legally binding target to create
a client quote climate neutral economy quote with neuro net
zero green ass gas emissions by twenty to fifty Huh.

(07:05):
How can you reconcile that? Because you are all going
to get some carbon output if you're burning liquid natural gas,
although hardly any by comparison to the old days with coal.
Said that the measures could cut the EU's bill for
imported oil and gas by forty five billion euros or
forty seven billion dollars this year and save one hundred

(07:27):
and thirty six billion dollars by twenty thirty. So let's
see here using traditional energy sources oil. You see oil
as mentioned, they're still using that, and look, with natural gas,
they'll save a lot of money. I guess those windmills
and solar panels aren't working out for them now. It's

(07:52):
reported here some energy and intensive industries in Europe are
relocating production to the United States, where energy prices are
lower soon to get probably lower, given Donald Trump's shift
into the all of all the above strategy and releasing
more lease rights and options for companies to drill for
more natural gas and oil. Donald Trump even said it,

(08:15):
if we do this, people will buy it. Obviously, the
European Union would be one of our customers because they're
expanding their efforts to bring more LNG into their countries.
According to a poll conducted by Germany's DIHK Chamber of
Industry and Commerce last year, don't know about it, but

(08:35):
they did a poll involved more than three thousand, three
hundred companies. They determined that thirty seven percent were considering
either cutting production or moving abroad. We got an open
door policy here in the United States. Come on, over
percentage increase when it came to energy and intensive industrial companies.

(08:55):
Forty five percent of those were considering slashing output or
again locating bigger companies with more than five hundred employees,
and they cite those involved in mechanical engineering and production
of industrial goods. Fifty one percent considered either slashing output
or relocating. Open for business put the sign up says LNG,

(09:24):
which is transported by it throw across the ocean and
specialized tankers. We all know that's become an increasingly important
part of Europe's energy supply. Major ports in France, Belgium,
Spain received liquefied natural gas shipments, which are then converted
back into gas and distributed across the continent. They say
the trend is likely to continue as part of President
Donald Trump's push for more US domestic drilling and increase exports.

(09:47):
LNG to Europe, right, that means fat bank money for US,
jobs for US, and it sounds to me like plan
opportunities for businesses there to come over here and become
more profitable, pivoting over taking a profitability and along the
exact same lines. Energy company BP, which is European BP.

(10:12):
You've heard of them, You've seen the gas stations, said
they're cutting back on their grain energy goals and instead
now refocusing on investing in oil and gas, planning to
increase their investment in oil and gas by ten billion
dollars a year and increase oil production between two point
three million and two point five million barrels per day
by twenty thirty. This according to their own press release.

(10:34):
Their decision to refocus on oil and gas production follows
recent reports of company facing growing pressure from investors who
are not happy with their profits. Why because they were
pumping a whole bunch of money into renewable energy, which
wasn't making them any money. BP CEO said, quote, we

(10:54):
are reducing and reallocating capital expenditure into our highest returning
businesses to have growth and relentlessly pursuing performance improvements and
cost efficiency. No, that latter statement suggests Elon musk Doge
is going to run them up inside BP increase performance
and cost efficiencies, they said it plans. The company state

(11:17):
it plans to decrease it's spending on renewable energy by
more than five billion dollars a year. I guess it's
not working out for them. No excrement that was only
in twenty twenty just a few years ago, where they
pledged the slash and oil and gas output by forty
percent increased renewables by twenty twenty three. They later lowered

(11:41):
that reduction goal to twenty five percent in twenty twenty three,
according to Reuters. And now look they're doing an exact
opposite flip, increasing investment and output in oil and gas,
the polar opposite of what they were just jawn about
not that long ago. This on the heels of their

(12:03):
competitors' bree recent announcement, Shell and equinor they recently began
scaling back on green energy investments. Also interesting how that
works out. Let's see, do we starve in de industrialized
or we do what's going to work for us? Easy

(12:25):
decision from my perspective. A Greta Thunberg. You know where
to stick it five seventeen fifty five KRC DE talk
stations stick around. We got more to talk about it.
Plus I'd love to hear from you. You've got a
comment five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred
eighty two three talk pound five fifty on AT and
T phones stick around fifty.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Five KRC A great setting.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Amplifying so Mother nature was just teasing us with the
warm weather. That's okay, it will be spring soon. Let
me what's on your mind? Consistent weekly message anyhow, five

(13:10):
on three seven, eight hundred and eighty two to three
dog pound five fifty on at and t phones uh
speaking of other things you could see coming like ten
miles away or even further. Remember when they started out
in California pushing the mandatory minimum wage up to twenty
dollars for fast food workers and others. Remember that, Remember
we talked about what was gonna do? What what's gonna happen?
Price of food's gonna go up, right, and they're gonna

(13:32):
go to automation, which will result in fewer jobs. Guess
what happened, right, Exactly what everyone with a measure of
logic and reason their head thought was going to happen,
Fast food job losses in California. I give you a
camera into our Canada Fox News. The credit for reporting

(13:52):
fast food job losses in California really spiked after passage
of the twenty dollars minimum wage. Berkeley Research Group they
did a study. They found that not only were there
ten seven hundred jobs lost between twenty twenty three and
twenty twenty four June to June. That's acording to the
Beer of Labor statistics data. They didn't just make it up,

(14:13):
but prices at the establishments also went up by fourteen
and a half percent. Duh. Study release at California fast
food restaurants also increased automation and technology to offset rising
labor costs. Ergo the ten thousand, seven hundred jobs that

(14:35):
were lost to a machine that flips burgers on its own. Therefore,
it should not be surprising that the number of employees
per restaurant is declining according to the study. They added
Californias are bearing the cost of in a wage increases
through fewer available jobs and higher food costs. Also, the
study debunked the notions at the midimum wage legislation actually

(14:55):
would create jobs, which I do not understand how that
could even have been a thought in someone's mind when
they were considering this. Report also cautioned that it may
be also a result in people getting paid less. This
is an interesting reality in spite of the fact that
the minimum wage went up to twenty bucks from sixteen.

(15:17):
It said if if large enough, the combination of job
eliminations and reductions could leave workers earning less income as
a result of the twenty dollar minimum wage. For example,
even if no jobs are eliminated, a dubious presumption given
the Bureau of Labor Statistics data discussed above, a twenty
percent reduction in hour and workforce with no overtime increases

(15:39):
would erase the financial gains from the twenty five percent
hourly rage increase, leaving workers with the same or even
less total income. Failed to account for that overtime pay,
did they? And since I got in it here another
food related news, brace for it. The price of eggs
is going to continue to go up accord of the

(16:02):
us day DA. Rather, I know, wait for Joe, and
you're gonna have to throw a couple of more of
those in there. Based upon what the USDA said February
twenty twenty five. Food Price Outlook that is the name
of the study, was published earlier this week. Retail egg
prices prices searched thirteen point eight percent in January this year,
after previously rising eight point four percent of December last

(16:24):
price is expected to remain volatile on a month by
month basis, in part because eighteen point eight million egg
laying chickens were impacted by the avian influenza outbreaks. Egg
prices now projected to rise by about forty one percent
in twenty twenty five, they say, but the increase could

(16:48):
range and I guess it depends upon your proximity where
they're laying the eggs. Could range from a fifteen percent
increase to get ready for it, Joe, seventy five percent
last month. USDA had predicted a twenty percent increase in
twenty twenty five. So things gave maybe getting worse. And
I know the Trump administration is rolling out a plan

(17:09):
to try to deal with It's a multi prong plan,
including importing more eggs and changing the way they deal
with the avian flu in egg laying facilities. Just keep
your fingers crossed at those efforts bear fruit or result
in more egg production, because it's not looking pretty for
the picture right now. Coming up a five to twenty
six sam coming up in local stories. Love to hear

(17:31):
from you. If you've got a comment, stick around and
be right back. This is what's happening as far as
the weather goes. Ten and nine says, as follow us.
We've got a win advisory beginning at ten am, lasting
until seven PM this evening. Today's high at fifty seven
with partly clotdy sky, low thirty one overnight with clouds

(17:51):
clearing out Saturday morning, clouds, afternoon sun chances, snowfloor is
going to high at thirty eight overnight little eighteen, which
I'm going to be disturbed by all day, and Sunday
I mostly sunny day with a high of thirty eight.
It's thirty three degrees right now for the five CHAIRCD
talk station. Winter changed into spring, Spring.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Changed into summer, Summer changed back into winter, and winter
gave spring and summer a miss and went straight on
into autumn.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Sounds like CINCINNTI weather, doesn't it. It's five thirty fifty
five KRCD talk station. Love hearing from you, so feel
free to call. We're gonna go go to the phones
here in a moment five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two to three
talk time five fifty on AT and T phones. And
if you didn't get a chance to listen or you
want to hear it again, Judge Ennitapolitano is right there

(18:42):
on my blog page fifty five KRC dot com or
podcast page. Got the inside scoop of bright bart News
Oliver Lane. If you want to understand the German elections,
you gotta listen to that podcast. He did a brilliant
job explaining what's going on over there and the basically
Charlie Foxtrot reality of what it is going to be
like for the German people. Over the phones we go cribbage,
my submarine or friend. Welcome back to the morning show.

(19:04):
Happy Friday, Happy.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Friday, Brian, and really pleased to hear you're going to
have the gentleman on for Veterans for brew. I had
the opportunity to meet him after a Veterans Day event
at Northern Roe Brewery last November and just a stand
up guy and can't thank him and I did that
day and I will again today thank him, thank him
for everything that he's doing.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, mat Da Maris, He's a really terrific guy, just
an outstanding guy in.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
The long as. Thanks for being out. It was a
pleasure listening to as always. Colonel brad Winstrop on Wednesday,
and thank him for being an MC at that event
at Saint Tabor High School to honor the Marines that
lost their lives and leam a company and my condolences
to their family, and I what it took that because
I could hear the passion in his voice, what it

(19:49):
must have been like to be in that room. And
I assimilated a lot to what we do with honor flight,
the patriotism and the raw emotions that we experienced that day.
And Brian, on a side note, actually have already started
our preparations for the twenty twenty five season with our
upcoming flight of a light rapidly approaching. But those veterans

(20:09):
that day being able to be together, the camaraderie going
to their memorials, especially lately now almost all of our passengers,
although our vets and guardians are from the Vietnam and
Korean War era, when they're at those memorials and see
those names, it just tugs at your heartstrings. And once
again you were there at homecoming ceremonies and you know.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
What that's like.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Oh yes, So I compare those two events. And then
this past weekend, the esteemed actress Jane Fonda was given
a Lifetime Achievement Award now granted actress, no problem with that.
You know the name Fonda. She had a couple of
good movies Barbarella years old.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Barbara was her only good movie was Barbarella.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
And Golden Palm wasn't bad. But her day had carried
that scene, you know. But that's the time to talk
about what you're there for. So what does she do? No,
it's all about empathy, and she's going to preach to us.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Now.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
Granted, as an American citizen, you have every right to
protest your country, your government. You have every right if
you want you to burn the flag. I don't agree
with it, you probably don't, but I served twenty nine
years to defend that right. Yeah, But when you get
up on that stage and you're going to lecture me
on empathy for the people who are in harms way
and are on the tough down, anybody of a certain

(21:30):
age or definitely any veteran will never forget what she
did in nineteen seventy two on foreign soil, enemy foreign soil,
and an enemy's uniform sitting on an enemy anti aircraft
gun battery anoigy For her to preach to us this
past weekend, which is unconscionable.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Eating't look for a New York You can't call it
for an argument this morning, Mike, I'm telling you that, Yeah,
I have nothing but disdain for Jane Fonda, so and
you know whatever I mean, yeah, yeah, and she's an
actress or actor whatever they call train does that well,
I guess everybody's entitled own opinion, and I can't deny that.
But people can be swayed by that. I just don't don't.

(22:13):
I don't get it. You make up a much stronger argument, Mike.
I have to give you props for that. Looking forward
to seeing you next Wednesday, right, yes, sir.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
Right, we'll be there as we tackle another new Cincinnati micro.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Brew Yes, March fifth micro Brewery on East Kemper. That's
the Blue Ash location as opposed to the other one.
So I hope everybody's going to make it because you
can hang out watch cribbage. Might kick my button cribbage again. Probably.
I do have my moments, but they're few and far between.
Love you, Mike. Have a great weekend. Brother. Tell your
beautiful wife that I said Hi. I can have one
local story. The MBI lawsuits or the nmbi's are coming

(22:47):
out of High Park Planning team in charge of High
Park Square redevelopment project now dealing with the concerns from
the community members, they're changing their plans. Some residents say
it's not enough, and I'm with the residence it's not enough.
It's rather comical change one of them anyway. Anyway, High
Park residents have been voicing their concerns over the High
Park Square redevelopment project for months. That plan includes tearing

(23:08):
down and rebuilding a large portion of Erie Avenue into hotels, apartments,
commercial spaces, and an underground parking garage. Developers have now
made changes to the original proposal get Ready for It one,
identified specifically by Ali Hanard for Foction nineteen, lowering the
initial proposed height of one of the buildings from eighty

(23:32):
five point five feet to eighty point five feet No
one concerned. Resident interview by Fox nineteen, Lois Mentor of
these buildings are still more than double the size of
the adjacent buildings in highe Park Square and are sixty
percent higher than the existing zoning codes allow. Developers seeking

(23:55):
to alleviate concerns about the building heights five feet that
resident Mentro says the changes to the plan are actually
raising concerns another area, specifically parking. She said, uh, well,
it's going to decimate businesses. You can't have a small
business without parking, so they're reducing the on street parking
in addition to that reduction, and it is actually complicated,

(24:17):
but it really causes one hundred and seventy space deficit.
They're taking one hundred and seventy spaces away developers. They're
applying for what's called a planned development, a flexible approach
to zoning, allowing developers to purpose unique projects that do
not strictly conform to traditional zoning regulations. Mentrop says, again,

(24:39):
the scale of the redevelopment just doesn't fit with the
character of the square. It's not downtown, she said. They're
basically dropping something that looks like a downtown building into
a charming old neighborhood. Yeah, you might want to speak
to Sinceei City Council about that. They're the ones that
impose this on you. Five point thirty six fifty five
kc DE talk station Stack. Oh stupid coming up. I'm

(24:59):
hoping can hang out for that and maybe call It
doesn't matter to me. We'll tackle the challenge regardless. I'll
be right back fifty five KRC dot com at five
forty It's always yes. Just Trecker is e Xechty, producer
of the program, got to get his primus fixed. You
always putt a smile on Jeffrey's face.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Let's five.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Eight two three talking to was stacking stupid in front
of you. But I see Bobby's on the phone, and
why not Bobby, Welcome back to the morning show.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Good morning, my brother, Happy Friday to you.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Thank you sir. Right back at you.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
Hey, I got a comment about the Hyde Park and
Amberley Village and the bus route issues. Okay, I think
it's I think it's great. They need to go ahead
and build all kinds, all hotels, fifty Food High, Aby
Food High. These are all left wing, progressive people that
vote eighty five to nine percent Democrats. They get what's

(26:09):
coming to them. Well, they're the one to put these
people in office.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Some of them. Yeah, I can't deny that from a
political makeup standpoint, that there are a sizeable number of
Democrats in the Hyde Park area, so.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
About ninety percent.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Well, then maybe what will happen is the residents who
objected these plans and these proposals to completely turn their
neighborhoods in a completely different direction. We'll say, hmm, I'm
not going to do that next time, and they might
vote in the best interest and perhaps elect more conservative
individuals or Republicans. Perhaps maybe Charter Heights can come to

(26:45):
the rescue. Damn, I my dad doesn't believe that's going
to happen.

Speaker 6 (26:50):
Well, they put Greg in office. In they're over a
top candidate, one of the best candidates we ever could
have been the first congressional district. I think, forget what's
coming to them. Yeah, well, you know they want to
cry when they want to cry when it doesn't go
their way all the time.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, well, it always happens anywhere butt Hyde Park. You know,
it's like, look what happened over the west side, Joe said.
You know, if Presidents and Westwood complained, if this was
happening to them, no one would raise a finger to
try to change the development proposals to appease their concerns.
But when it comes to Hyde Park, I guess the
little their extra money and their their community and their

(27:26):
political power maybe has a little bit more. Sway, keep
a popcorn out, Bobby. We'll watch how this plays out together.
But astude observation. Okay, We'll go to Middletown Local story
from the stack of stupid Chris Arnold Local twelve reporting
will have described as a startling and scary moment for

(27:48):
a Middletown woman Wednesday morning. A quick bathroom break for
Bread's dog. The dog's name Duchess, quickly turned into much more.
And it all happened at seven o'clock in the morning,
said Reid. Then I looked up after she growled and
saw a naked man just standing there staring at me.

(28:11):
I said, what in the world. At that moment, Reid said,
she was worried for a safety. I thought it was
going to be assaulted or worse, that my dog was
going to be killed. I had like no idea what
was going to happen, she said. Talking to Local twelve,
she said, we were running. She got wrapped around this
pole a little bit. I yanked her and then I
started running even more, and then I ran into my

(28:31):
side door, said she was able to get safely into
her house. I saw him look through the windows after
I called dispatch, said The man eventually crossed the street
and made his way down a nearby alley. Reid said,
then the school bus came by. He turned around to
the school bus, turned right back around and started walking
again right towards those buildings back there. Middletown School District's

(28:54):
pokesperson said the district wasn't aware of anything taking place.
Police said they weren't sure if anyone else saw the
naked guy. They did say they were called to respond
in the area. The man was ultimately found and taken
to the hospital. Reid says she's happy the man was apprehended.
She's worried about what could happen next. I'm worried he's
kind of going to come back. I'm worried he could
see this and he just comes back right to where

(29:16):
he used to be and finds me. Man's name has
not yet been released. What it's with people? Let's see here.
South Carolina man's been sentenced more than two years in
federal prison after stripping naked during a checkpoint search at
the Indianapolis International Airport back in twenty twenty three, in

(29:39):
clear view of families and children. Why are you doing that?
I have a feeling we will not know court of
the release. In the US Attorney's Office for the Southern
District of Indiana, thirty eight year old George Stevens Fleet
of guilty to interference with security screening personnel and assault
of a federal officer. He was sentenced to thirty three
months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervisor release.

(30:00):
Happened the afternoon of July fifteen, twenty three. He's passing
through the TSA checkpoint at the airport. After he went
through the machine, he was asked to step aside for
a pat down search. As that occurred, Stevens called the
officer a freak multiple times, specifically when the officer patted
his outer and inner groin area. It is a creepy

(30:20):
kind of thing. Guys, why are you doing that? Well,
because the TSA is told that they have to do
that as part of their job. Supervisor then called after Stevens,
who officials said appeared intoxicated because he wasn't complying with
instructions supervis in structure. The supervisor instructed Stevens to remove
his belt and hold up his pants. Release said Stevens
quote dropped into a squat and shook his buttocks at

(30:44):
the supervisor and others assisting the officers. This caused the
screening to be halted in multiple lines at the checkpoint,
probably because of lookie loose. After an officer with the
Indianapolis Airport Police Department was dispatched. Stevens repeated the action,
squatting and shaking his buttocks at the other tsos. He
reportedly told the officers quote, I don't have nothing and

(31:08):
what do you want to see, then pulled his genes
in underwear down to his ankles, exposing his buttocks and
genitals to the tsos and the passengers into vicinity. After
the police arrived, he removed his genes and placed them
over the supervisor's shoulder, removed his underwear and threw it
at the supervisor while completely naked. The release said, he

(31:28):
began to advance towards the supervisor. The document said Stephen
was then placed under arrest. According to the release quote,
the entirety of Stephen's assault occurred in full view of
the traveling public, including families with small children who attempting
to navigate the security checkpoint to get to their flights. Apparently,
the release said that Stephen has had prior convictions for
domestic violence and firearms offences. The sentence that Stevens received

(31:52):
in this case was quote at the very top of
the US sentencing guideline ranges close quote six at fifty
five care see the talk station. All right, more of
that coming up or you can call. It's entirely up
to you. I'll be right back about fifty fififty about

Seniors on senior in continents and their brilliant strategy to
deal with it in senior living facilities. They got a
new podcast. They're going to introduce us to that at

and concert details from Matt Deamaris and Shane Hensley from
Vets and Bruce and go back to the Stack of
Stupid Putnam County, Florida. I always got to have a
Florida story in the Stack of Stupid. Got a Florida
man accused of breaking into someone's home naked. He's been
arrested tradition. Putnam County Sheriff's Office release of the man

(32:59):
came into the home on evening to find a naked
burglar inside his residence. Deputies arrived in the scene. They
say Keaton Mercier, who's twenty four, then put on a
pair of underwear, but refuse to leave the house. Deputies
entered the home and arrested him not only for not
only burglary, but also because he was wanted for aggravated
battery by strangulation from a case bag in January what

(33:22):
Kayton taken to the hospital be treated for cuts to
his arms and legs he sustained breaking into the house
as well as due to his erratic behavior from possibly
using drugs. Indeed, deputy City found pools of blood in
the kitchen floor, in the counter and near broken window.
They also found several glass pipes typically used with narcotics.

(33:43):
Is a previous conviction for battery from twenty twenty two,
taking a jail held without bond. I guess he was
in front of Judge Silverstein. Job thirty eight year old
man arrested in Coral Springs for allegedly texting sexually explicit
photos and video of his ex girlfriend to her children.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Do what happens.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Is Lafayet Lee of Pembroke Pines turns with two counts
as of sexual cyber harassment one kind of transmitting material
harmful to minors, being held in a forty thousand dollars
bond at the Broward Main Jail. Police said he was
a you a romantic relationship with a victim of Coral
Springs resident for about three and a half years. Before
the relationship ended, he allegedly sent five explicit photos of

(34:31):
the woman, plus a video with similar content to her
three children. After the breakup, victim reported the crimes the police,
who had the victim phone Lee and confront him about
the images he allegedly sent to the kids. Victim said,
according to the document, quote that was low as f word.
How you sent all them nude videos and s word

(34:53):
to my kids? That was low as f Lee allegedly replied, oh,
lows f was what you did, in other words, breaking
up with them. He didn't deny the victim's claims, and
of course that implicated among the charges. Court records did
not indicate whether he entered a plea in the case.
I was waiting for that the biggest douche of the universe,

(35:16):
in all the galaxies. There's no bigger douche than you,
all right, Dan, We got a couple of these today.
Indiana school teacher accused of sexual miscontact with a student
and sending others photo of her sex toys and stripper pole.
What Thirty one year old Brittany Fortenberry facing multiple counts,
including sexual miscontact with a minor, dissemination of matter harmful

(35:39):
to minors, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
August last year, to two high school students reported to
the staff that the Eminence High School math teacher allegedly
sent them inappropriate Instagram messages and videos of her sex
toys and stripper pole in her Martinsville home. How many
times do I have to point out if you send
anything to a team, they're gonna show it to everybody, said,

(36:01):
don't even get in that position. One of the teens,
he was eighteen at the time, told authorities at Funtonberry
reached out to him on Instagram shortly after the first
day as school. He said the interactions began as a
general conversation before she allegedly got a little more personal quote.
She told him about her being a stripper, her exclusive
content on her websites, and about her past while sending

(36:22):
setting about six revealing photos. The teen described the alleged
interaction with the authorities as bizarre, stating that students should
be able to trust their teachers. A second miner, seventeen
at the time, told authorities he recalled his buddy telling
him about a comment that she had made about her
wanting to have sex with them and dreaming about it.

(36:42):
The alleged that the comment was made on social media.
Thorities began investing in a separate case in December last
year after a woman showed up at Morgan County Prosecutor's
office alleging that her grandson disclosed to her sexual acts
that happened between him and fort and Berry when he
was fifteen. Teen told authorities that she began sending a
nude photo. She showed police a photo of himself in

(37:02):
the shower at Fortonberry's home that dates back to October
of twenty three, and alleged he was ninety nine percent
sure they had intercourse. He's fifteen, so he wasn't quite positive.
Teen said it was no different than a thirty year
old man and a fifteen year old girl, describing the
alleged encounter as child molestation. He's saying he came four

(37:23):
because he doesn't want Fortenberry to allegedly molest more kids.
He told authorities that some of the alleged victims want
to tell stories and others don't want to talk about
it at all. FI David states the allegation is consistent
with previous investigation and was verified during a search warrant
that was executed at her home. When asked by the
investigator how many other kids she had sex encounters with,

(37:44):
the team responded at least five, maybe ten. She resigned
in August the last year. When asked by the police
about the allegations against Sir Fortonbury did not say she
regretted her actions, and said telling officers she regrets the
day that she lost weight and doesn't think she would
run into any of these issues if she was still
one hundred and fifty pounds heavier. Okay, pleay to talk

(38:10):
about coming up after the top of the our news.
I'd love hearing from you. If you got something you
want to talk about, feel free to call five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three Talk
plus Tech Friday at six thirty. I'll be right back
us happens.

Speaker 7 (38:22):
Fast, stay up to date at the top of the hour.

Speaker 8 (38:24):
Not going to be complicated, It's going to go very fast.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Fifty five krc the talk station just out six or
six fifty five krs the talk station. Brian Thomas here,
wishing everyone a very happy Friday. I've got some good
plans for the weekend coming up in the morning show.
Of course, it's Friday, so we do tech Friday at
the bottom of the hour of Kentucky warning parents about
sexual predators on apps. I guess that's in addition to

(38:49):
the teachers who are sexual predators in the schools. Don't
let medic collect your and monetize your personal data. And
topic number three, how phish data turns into what I
don't even understand what it is mobile wallet data. So
that's why we have Tech Friday's Dave Hatter, Dan Reaganill
one hour from now, the originator and trops for creating
the whole empower You America's seminar concept. There's another spring

(39:12):
semester we're going to go through and run down and
with Dan always enjoy heaving Dan on the program. I
heard our heart for senors, Seniors and Incontinence Care and
their new podcasts. We've had them on previously, Brilliant ideas
to help solve the problem seniors face when they're in
senior living facilities. Air Force Colonel Josh McConkie, he's got
a book, Be the Weight behind the Spear. He'll be
on at eight to five to talk about that. And finally,

(39:33):
Matt Deamarris and Shay Hensley from Vets and Bruce got
the Bourbon Rebel Raffle, and I appreciate Matt to Maris.
He did a video Plust online giving credit to you
the fifty five k Keresey listeners. He said, we do
not screw around, he said. Last time he was on
the program to promote the Bourbon Raffle, the tickets were
sold out in four hours. So God bless each and

(39:56):
every one of you for supporting his organization as well
as Patriots Landing by supporting the Vets and Brews organizations.
So you get benefit two sides right there. Feel free
to coffee. Got something you want to talk about? Five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two to
three talk. And since we're real, real quickly talking about

(40:16):
Hyde Park residents having a real problem with the Cincinnati
Council inspired transformation of zoning laws to allow for dense
housing and otherwise previously single family neighborhoods and including Hyde
Park Square, which is unique in and of itself. So
the developers are trying to appease the citizens who are
basically screaming, not in my backyard. I just love this.

(40:39):
Developers making changes the original proposal, including lowering the initial
proposed height of one of the buildings from eighty five
and a half feet to eighty point five feet, as
if five feet is going to make a difference when
that building will still apparently tower over the balance of
the buildings in the neighborhood. So residents are complaining about that,
and I think maybe imparted springs from the US Department
of Housing and Urban Developments rule. It's the Affirmatively Furthering

(41:02):
Fair Housing Rule affh guess what's been repealed. US Department
of Housing and Urban Development eliminated federal regulations created during
the Obama administration. Secretary Scott Turner said he accused these
regulations of putting extreme and restrictive demands on local housing developers.

(41:23):
Trump rescinded this rule created under former President Barack Obama
under his sturingest first administration, and at the time he
said that the rule serves to eliminate single family zoning,
to destroy the value of houses and benefit the far
left Washington bureaucrats. Walking communities will be imposed basically the

(41:45):
Obama Air affh rule, which mandated the locality of commission
extensive analysis to certify that new housing developments do not
exacerbate disparities among federally protected groups, including access to public transportation, schools,
hot bitles, and parks. In other words, you got to
do is study. I guess you have to appeal to
your lords and masters in d C in order to

(42:05):
get local developments done. I don't know. But during a
Wednesday conference about this rules termination, HUT officials said the
discrimination that is prohibited under the Fair Housing Act in
nineteen sixty eight remains illegal, but un of the new change,
localities will now be able to self certify that the
new developments comply with anti discrimination laws implemented under the
nineteen sixty A Fair Housing Act. According to Turner over

(42:27):
the past four years and really dating back to the
Obama administration, far left Democrats have tried to socially re
engineer communities from the top down. Apparently, research from the
Cato Institute found that that AFFH rule cost taxpayers as
much as fifty five million dollars annually to collect the
certification information that the irregulation required. And I suppose probably

(42:52):
litigation ensuing from the denial certification, but I have no
idea about that. Pivoting over. We made the name national news,
at least since our children's hospital did. Remember they denied
the heart transplant surgery because this young twelve year old girl,
who ultimately happened to be a relative distance she may
be of President Vice President JD. Vance, bringing and elevating

(43:14):
this denial of a heart transplant because she didn't have
the COVID nineteen vaccine to the national attention and also
bringing it to the attention of our elected officials. House
Republicans now urging Trump to use his executive power to
block hospitals from denying organ transplants or people who aren't
vaccinated against COVID nineteen. Ohio Republican Representative Michael Rooley, who

(43:41):
I guess penned the letter signed by others, said he
was partially moved to act after JD Vance's twelve year
old relatives was denied the heart transplant over COVID nineteen
vaccination status based upon a decision the Children's Hospital here
in Cincinnati. Court of the letter, over the past week,
it's come to light that multiple desperate Americans have been
denied life saving Oregon transflants due to their COVID nineteen

(44:03):
vaccination status. This outrageous denial of care has affected some
of our most vulnerable citizens, including a child from Indiana
and a veteran from Ohio. In addition to the letter,
earlier this month, Representative Aaron Hoshin from Indiana introduced the
bill to stop federal funds from going to any anthony

(44:25):
denying someone treatment based on their COVID nineteen vaccination status. Really,
speaking with Fox News, President Trump has done such a
great job recently on executive orders, and I'm asking Trump
if he sees this, to please do an executive order.
But you could also say you could save someone's life today.
Timing is everything. If we don't get this done, people's
lives could be at risk. Letters signed by Ruley Hoachin

(44:46):
five other House Republicans cited Trump's executive orders ending COVID
nineteen vaccine mandates and schools reinstated military service members who
were discharged for not getting the vaccine, saying, hey, the
same principle applies here. These reckless the mandates implemented under
Biden administration do more harm than good. In the letter,
it says, with your leadership, our nation could return to

(45:07):
a time and our brave and talented medical professionals can
save lives freely, unburdened by bureaucratic barriers that endanger our
most vulnerable citizens. That we're even having this conversation just
blows my mind. You know, I don't play a doctor
on radio, and I certainly not license the practice medicine.
But given all the problems associated with the COVID nineteen

(45:29):
vaccine that have surfaced of late, and there are a
whole bunch of them, and I don't know if she
would be considered in co morbid condition, but you know
she's gonna have to have immuni suppressants. Congressman one Strip
noted that, and I understand that. But since the COVID
nineteen vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting COVID, so she
still runs that risk. And it was a flu vaccine

(45:51):
that she didn't have either her parents citing religious objections
to both of them. But my understanding is this year's
fluvaccine didn't get the right flu. They have to kind
of spin the rule up wheel of picking which flu
vaccine they're going to create so they can get millions
and millions of doses manufactured in time for flu season.
I think they got it wrong this year. So question mark,

(46:15):
what good's it going to do if she ends up
running into a flu of a different strain. It's a
good question. And then there are common colds and other
viruses and illness that float around in the air that
she also might be subjected to, which you can't vaccinate for.
So I really don't get the decision making process. And

(46:35):
you know, I'll give credit to Children's Hospital all day
long for the work they've done and for helping our
family out in the early years when our children were young.
They have done great work over the years, but this
is a black eye on the reputation of Children's Hospital.
I would argue, Now, if you think I'm out of line, Colin,
let me know. I would love for the puzzle pieces

(46:57):
that seem to be missing from this equation, the ones
that I just raised to be filled. In answer my
questions about that, because I think a lot of people
are scratching their head, including elected officials in Washington, DC
and jd Vance himself. You think they're going to change
their mind? If you're a betting person, would you put
any money on them changing their mind? I guess we're

(47:21):
gonna find out together, aren't we stick around? We got
more to talk about coming up, But first I strongly
encourage you if you need a new tractor, a lawn equipment,
push more, maybe a chainsaw. You know, work with Bud.
Herbert Motors has been around more than seventy five years,
fifth generation family in not operated. They do great work.
They know everything there is to know about the quality

(47:42):
products they sell, and they only sell the best, world
class brand. You got your John Dear lawn tractors, your
Dear Compact utility tractors, X Mark lawnmowers, steel power equipment,
full line of those in a Honda power equipment, which
is what I was I was after when I talked
to them, and I'm glad I talked to them. You
don't get the box store. The box store experience sucks.

(48:03):
I went through it before I finally went to Bud
Herbert Motors and got exactly what I needed. And the
Herbert family told me it's the last pushbar is ever
gonna buy. It's gonna last that long. They service everything
they sell. They've been to my house with the blade
sharping and the oil change if you wonder for work
and it's it's really great customer service. So count on
the Herbert family. You will actually be speaking with a

(48:23):
Herbert when you shop there. Tell Jim, John, Brian and
Conye that Brian Thomas said Hi when you get get
in touch with them. Trulyer Cincinni's hometown equipment dealer, impressive
product knowledge and customer service. Budherbertmotors dot Com. Budherbertmotors dot com.

From beyond the grave, Not from beyond the grave, but
over from the west side, West side. Jim Good to

(49:08):
hear from you as always, my friend. A very happy
Friday to you.

Speaker 8 (49:12):
Sitting back at you, Brian Thomas, I want to back
you up a little bit on Budd Herbert. You know
every year I for the fifth here, I've drained my
lawnmower and put gas in it. One pull and boom,
You're ready to go.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Absolutely, And I have you to thank for that, because
that's my experience. Every single year that Honda Professional Grade
Push More I have has never failed me. One pull.
It always starts, even the first even the first launch
in the springtime for the first cut. It's just outstanding.
And I'm so pleased that you introduced me to butter Remots.

Speaker 8 (49:46):
I've told people at home depot walking by her looking
at the lawnmowers.

Speaker 7 (49:49):
I said, you know, I tried, but.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
That's awesome.

Speaker 8 (49:54):
Hey, I gotta every once in a while you throw
out birthday wishes, and I got the best birthday wish
to throw out. But it is for tomorrow and she's
eighty five years old. But missus Streker, Joe Strekker's Mom's
birthday tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
And I will join in that well wishes for Joe's mom,
happy birthday. That's awesome.

Speaker 8 (50:16):
It wasn't for Joe's mom, you wouldn't have him as
a producer.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Well, stating the obvious you are, of course.

Speaker 8 (50:24):
So anyway, I know you got Dave Hatter coming up,
but I just wanted to throw it in her about her.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
So h you have a good weekend. Well, thanks for
enlightening right now. Thanks for enlightening me, and you have
a wonderful weekend too, Jim. It's always good to hear
from your happy birthday for ou Streker. Let's see here,
since it is tech Friday, how about this. I'm worried
about artificial intelligence and fake generated audio as well as video.
And you know I'm concerned. I always thinking from a

(50:50):
legal perspective. You know this this whole idea, and you
know I can see defense attorney's reasonable doubt. Is that
really my client? Is that really the defendant sitting here
in the courtroom? Or was it fake? Is it made up?
As it artificially generated? Is that really his voice on
the phone call? Because DA will tay all day long
that they can generate They only need like two seconds

(51:12):
worth of your voice pattern in order to create an
entire conversation. So this is a real weird world. Weird
world we're entering into, and here you go, great demonstration
of it. After Trump was elected in November, Democratic National
Committee launched a rapid response social media account. It's called
fact post for, in their words, the purpose of quote

(51:33):
to combat online misinformation close quote. Wednesday this week, the
account published a fabricated audio aka deep fake, of Donald
Trump Junior calling on the United States to arm Russia
in its war against Ukraine. It posted the audio on
Twitter of Trump Junior ostensibly speaking about the Ukraine Russian

(51:54):
war on his podcast Triggered In the clip the computer Generator,
Trump Junior says he quote Honestly can't imagine anyone in
the right mind picking Ukraine as an ally. Honestly, the
US should have been sending weapons to Russia close quote.
This fake audio says they don't yet know who created it.

Speaker 7 (52:11):
Too.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Accounts with large followings wece Grade twenty four in poly
Market posted the audio earlier on Wednesday. Fact Posts and
groups like Republicans Against Trump also posted it later in
the day, citing it is evidence that the administration favors
rushing in the war against Ukraine. Some social media users

(52:32):
called the audio into question, noting that the triggered podcast
website did not have the episode featured in the viral tweets,
and then fact Posts and others deleted their post after
a representative for Trump Junior. So the clip is one
hundred percent faked AI generated audio? Huh this. While Democrats

(52:54):
accused republic of spreading disinformation on social media, DNC's website
touts its support for lets legislation to fight AI generated
disinformation and deep fakes video or audio that's been edited
for malicious purposes. D NC apparently launched fact Posts last
month to quote try to combat online misinformation and respond

(53:15):
to Trump's administration's actions by pushing out memes, videos, and graphics. Quote.
The Republican disinformation machine is so powerful, but we believe
a stronger weapon is giving people the facts about how
trumpet Is administration are screwing over the American people. Ah. So,
under the cloak of legitimacy and being a fact checker

(53:35):
and a steward of responsible posting, they're the ones generating
the disinformation that kay I think there any trust they
may have had has evaporated. Tech Friday Dave Had are
coming up next. First, imaging can be affordable just don't

(53:57):
go to the hospital imaging department. Overhead galore, pay pay
attention when you walk into a hospital. Think about the
overhead they've got at a hospital. Yeah, I feel sorry
for him on some level, you know. Thank god we
have hospitals, but not hospital imaging departments where they just
charge you outrageous amounts that affordable imaging services will provide
for a mere fraction. Take your echo cardiogram thirty five
hundred dollars maybe more in the hospital imaging department. Affordable

(54:19):
imaging services five hundred bucks without enhancement, eight hundred bucks
with enhancement. And yes there's come with the board certified
radiologists report built into the price. Super low overhead. Don't
expect any bells and whistles, but you will find the
same kind of equipment hospitals use for all the images
they do echo cardiograms, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, lung screenings,
and cardiac scorings a tiny fraction of the imaging department

(54:43):
at the hospital. Yes, you have a choice. You're hot.
Your doctor's gonna recommend you go to the hospital that
owns his or her medical practice, which is typically the
case these days. But you don't have to. You have
a choice, so exercise that choice, noting your out of
pocket responsibilities, save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars three seven, five,
three eight thousand, five one three seven five three eight thousand.

(55:03):
For all the pricing information and more information about the operation,
go to Affordable Medimaging dot com fifty five KRC. The

a very happy Friday to you, my friend. Thanks Brian.

Speaker 9 (55:45):
Always good to be here and looking forward to it
every week.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Well, you know, every every Friday. I do. The stack
is stupid, and it seems of late there's been quite
a few stories, but adult women teachers having sex with
fifteen year olds and that's happy in schools. Well, there
are sexual predators on apps as well, and parents need
to know about it.

Speaker 9 (56:06):
Unfortunately, Brian, that's true, and it feels like just from
the reporting I see on it, the problem is getting worse,
not better.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
Jeez.

Speaker 9 (56:15):
You know you and I have been discussing this particular
topic for a long time. You know, you not only
have the possibility of predators trying to get connected to
your kids online in a variety of ways, and I'll
come back that in a second, but you know you
also have this sextortion problem that has been reported on
extensively in the media as well. The FBI has been

(56:36):
warning about it a lot recently. And I mean it
simply boils down to if you can get online in
a place where there are people, you know, people are
going to do bad things. Unfortunately, bad guys know that
social media, video games, chat apps, and so forth are
all ways to reach people you wouldn't be able to

(56:57):
reach otherwise. And again I want to remind for parents
in particular, even video games, right all the Xbox PlayStation
computer games, most of these games now at least have
the option for you to go online and play against
other people, and many of them, yeah, many of them
have the option to talk to them, whether it's sending

(57:18):
messages back and forth from the keyboard or controller or
you know, actual live chat. And you know, bad guys know,
they can go in there pretend to be anyone they want.
As a reminder, it's easy to spoof someone. It's easy
to copy you know, someone else's photos, pretend to be
a fifteen.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Year old girl or whatever.

Speaker 9 (57:38):
And because so many people share so much about themselves,
and because there's been so many data leaks, you know,
another aspect of this is whether it's sextortion or it's
a romance scam where it's a predator looking to meet
up with a child, and they can often build rapport
because they have information they can use to say, oh,
you like this video game, so do I?

Speaker 1 (57:59):
You like this? And so do I? You like this movie?

Speaker 9 (58:02):
So do I?

Speaker 10 (58:02):
So.

Speaker 9 (58:02):
I think it's you know, super important to warn your kids, uh,
anytime they're online in any kind of setting. Again, it's
not just social media, it's video games, it's chat apps,
and I know the Kentucky State Police recently put out
something about this the Mason County Sheriff's Office in Kentucky,
and they put together a nice infographic of you know,
various different apps where your kids are going to be

(58:26):
potentially exposed to these folks. But again, I want to
hit on the sex stortion thing for a second. It
may not be about I want to actually physically meet
this kid or kidnap this kid or whatever. It might
be as simple as you build up some rapport because
they think they found their soulmate or whatever. They asked
for some compromising photos and the next thing you know,

(58:48):
you're getting blackmailed. And you know, there have been dozens
of kids, well documented who killed themselves because of this
sex thing.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
So we just don't take pictures of yourself naked or
having sex, you.

Speaker 9 (59:04):
Know, Brian, I think that's a really great idea. Problems good,
Almost nothing good can come of that, especially in today's
world where things tend to last forever and it's easy
to extort someone or even maybe you just slip up
and expose it somehow, even if it's not intentional. Cloud somewhere, Yes,

(59:25):
you don't understand the privacy settings. As a reminder for folks,
there was a big celebrity nude scandal probably about ten
years ago now, and it broke down to people were
taking these compromising videos and photos and so forth. It
was being synced by their phone to the cloud theoretically
for backup purposes, and then because they had weak user

(59:47):
names and passwords, no MFA, bad guys were able to
access these photos and then put them out there. So
you know, it wasn't an extortion thing. It was bad
security and lack of understanding of how these clouds forms work.
So yeah, if you just don't do those things to
begin with, that's by far the best option because you

(01:00:07):
may may not really understand how this works, and you
could have your sensitive information exposed simply because you have
things set up incorrectly. But I encourage folks, and I
link it from my notes. Go find this story from
Fox nineteen Kentucky law enforcement warning parents about sexual predators
on apps. They have a nice breakdown that explains a
lot of these different apps, what they are and how

(01:00:30):
they work, so you know, it'd be a good way
to get up to speed quickly and then look at
your kids phone find out if they're using these apps. Now,
not all of these apps are necessarily nefarious. You just
have to understand bad people will can use them to
get to your kids, and then you know, warn your kids.
I'm constantly trying to reinforce with my sixteen year old
that you know, you have to be very careful about

(01:00:51):
what you're doing online, what you're saying, where you're going,
who you're interacting with, because unfortunately, there are bad people
out there who will exploit you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Yes there are, and you're here every week to remind
us of the different multitude, almost limitless ways in which
they're trying to do that. We're going to talk about
a little more on that. Don't let Meta collect and
monetize your personal data. That's the next topic with Tech
Friday's Dave Hatter six thirty six fifty five care see
the talk station. Time to mention my friend Peter Shbia

(01:01:22):
Kellowilliams seven Hills and his amazing team of real estate
agent They provide true value for you as a buyer's
agent or a seller's agent. And I like the cash
to Keys program. They've a bunch of programs nobody else
is offering, but superior service is what you get honestly
with the Shabriger they're outstanding people, so they know it's
a competitive market out there. So if they're your buyer's agent,

(01:01:44):
how about using Shabrie's cash which if you're a qualified client,
you can leverage this cash to keys program which will
allow you to write a cash offer on that home
you have looking at. This can often lead to a
better price. The owners don't have to worryorry about dealing
with somebody else's financial contingencies and waiting around for that
to go through. You can get better terms. It's a

(01:02:06):
bag of cash basically, and that's the kind of five
star experience you're going to have and you can expect
from the Shebri Group and they do deliver on that
five star experience. Several ways to reach them. If you
can't remember anything, just remember how to suppose Shabrie Cha
b r S Shabrie Group typing in your search engine.
Boom there, it'll be right there. Go directly to the
website seven zero eight three thousand dot com seven zero

(01:02:27):
eight three thousand dot com or put a five one
three in front of that website and just call them
up five one three seven zero eight three.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Thousand fifty five KRCT.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
The Williams coming up on six forty fifty five KRCD
Talk Station Brian Thomas with interest. Its Dave had Ter
doing that thing we call tech Friday. Okay, how do
you stop Meta from collecting and monetizing your personal data? Dave?

Speaker 9 (01:02:52):
Well, Brian, it's it's pretty tough. As a reminder, Meta
is the parent company of Facebook, Book, Instagram, WhatsApp and
other platforms. And I just just did a stand up
presentation yesterday, and I would ask people in that presentation
and ask all your listeners what can you buy from Meta?

(01:03:13):
Now I'm not saying there's nothing you can buy, but
just what can you buy from them? And the answer
is basically nothing. You know, their entire existence is an
organization and the billions of dollars in revenue they make
is all based on collecting people's data. They're very good
at it, and you know there's overt ways they do
it when you use the Facebook app or the Instagram app,
which I would recommend against, by the way. I'll come

(01:03:35):
back to that in a second. And then they have
things like tracking pixels. Now we've talked about this off
and all on over the many years we've been doing this, Brian,
A tracking pixel When people say that what they're talking
about generally, is a one pixel by one pixel invisible
image that gets planted in a web page or an email,

(01:03:55):
so that when you view that web page or you
open that email, it has to load that up image
from a server somewhere and then they know that you
opened that email or visited.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
That web page.

Speaker 9 (01:04:06):
And the Electronic Frontier Foundation is an organization focused on privacy.
They have this article that started this conversation to you
and I to day met at Meta. Don't let them
collect and monetize your personal data. Now this has been
reported on widely, okay, and this article gets into a
lot more depth, But I just want to give you
one statistic. METAS tracking or METAS tracking pixel found on

(01:04:29):
thirty percent of the world's most popular websites monitors people
behavior across web pages and can expose sensitive information, including
financial and mental health data. A twenty twenty two investigation
by The Markup found that a third of top us
hospitals had sent sensitive patient information to Meta through this
tracking pixel. So you go visit the Mayo Clinic website

(01:04:50):
and they have an agreement with Meta because Meta wants
your data, so they have this tracking pixel, and they
probably have lots of others too. By the way, this
is not a meta phenomenon. They're just really good at
it and they've got agreements with lots of organizations.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
So you view their.

Speaker 9 (01:05:04):
Mayo clinic web page and maybe while you're there, you're
looking up some sort of disease. You might know someone
that you think has may have nothing to do with you,
but now that is associated with you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:05:17):
Could that data eventually be sold to your insurance company?
Could your rates go up? Could you get canceled?

Speaker 5 (01:05:22):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:05:22):
Maybe I know this sounds far fetched to people, but again,
this isn't my opinion. This is all well researched that
these tracking pixels are tracking you even if you don't
use meta platforms, and that's partially my point. That's why
it's hard to prevent this. So what can you do?

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:05:37):
First off, try to avoid meta platforms if you can. Yes,
I have a Facebook account, but I do not use
the Facebook app. It is extremely data intensive. You know,
if you're using a lockdown, privacy friendly browser like Brave
or Safari or Firefox, and you use the Facebook website,

(01:05:58):
the original Facebook website, you know, you can have a
whole lot more control over what they can collect. You
can use something like EFF's Privacy Browse or Badger. It's
a plug in that you install into your browser. Again,
I wouldn't use Chrome, right, that's a Google product there
in the same kind of situation as Meta. But if
you use privacy Badger, which you can get for free

(01:06:19):
from EFF, it helps block this sort of stuff, you know.
So the bottom line is first off, always awareness, understanding
that this is what's happening, and then using privacy friendly
products and platforms. Again, if you use like a Firefox
browser or Brave with privacy Badger, you can block.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
A lot of the saptagies tracking.

Speaker 9 (01:06:39):
Don't install their apps, you know, those will go a
long long way to cutting off the flow of information
to companies like Meta. And I'm not even saying what
they're doing is nefarious with your data. I'm just saying
most people do not understand all this data is being collected.
And even if you trust Meta, well, who are they

(01:06:59):
selling that data? Can you trust them? Who are those
companies selling that data to? Can you trust them? What
happens when your data gets leaked, which we see over
and over again. So as a general rule of thumb,
less apps are better, the less data you're sharing with
these companies, the better and certainly, whatever you share, it's
always best if you have full, informed consent over what

(01:07:19):
you're sharing and how it might be used.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
All right, real quick question. You've obviously addressed this as
a primarily app on your phone based type of thing.
So if you're using the browsers that you refer to,
the privacy related browsers and blocking cookies, then they can't
track this. It's not retained on your computer. But if
you have VPN, are they really tracking you? I have

(01:07:44):
Nord on my computer, but I also have that for
my phone as well. Does that serve question? It helps?

Speaker 9 (01:07:51):
But Brian, and there's a big Google has just recently
come under a lot of fire because for a while
they were backing off fingerprinting and now they've come back
to it. So those cookies are one of the ways.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
You get tracked. It's like that tracking pixel.

Speaker 9 (01:08:06):
But if you know what you're doing, if you have
the right products, you can block cookies, you can delete cookies,
which makes you makes it harder to track you. And
they want to track you across all the devices in
your house. They want to track you on your smart TV,
they want to track you on your phone. They want
to track you on your computer. Cookies don't really work
very well for that, so they've come up with this
idea of fingerprinting. If you combine enough attributes about your

(01:08:28):
device together the resolution of the screen, the operating system,
and the patch level of it, very software you might
have installed, it creates a very very unique fingerprint of
your device. It may not be one hundred percent absolutely unique,
but it will be very unique. And there's really other
than going in and changing the settings regularly, there's no
way to stop them from fingerprinting you. So using a

(01:08:51):
VPN helps because you're coming from an IP address and
a server somewhere else. But they can still get your
device fingerprint, and if that from ever existed in some
previous point in the past, they can get around that.
So VPN is good, highly recommended. I use Proton myself
whenever possible, But it doesn't really block these more sophisticated

(01:09:12):
tracking mechanisms. It might make it harder, and especially if
you're a new user and you're always coming to a
VPN and they don't have any historical data they can
tie back to that will make you more anonymous. But yeah,
these folks are very savvy and remember Brian, almost in
all of their revenue comes from tracking, so they're going
to figure out ways to do it any way they can,

(01:09:33):
because otherwise they don't have any money. Okay, being good,
everyone should get a VPN, but it does not entirely
prevent this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
But every little bit helps, every little bit helps. All right,
We're going to learn together maybe what mobile wallet data
is and how phished data turns into mobile wallet data.
A final topic with Dave coming up next. After I
mentioned my good friends at Zimmer Heating and Air Conditions
Zimmer HVAC goes gets your f step to a more
comfortable home. Getting in touch with Zimmer if you need
a new system carrier. They are authorized carrier dealers and

(01:10:06):
what a wonderful system they are. So you want to
heat your house up, get a warm carrier system and
of course carrier for air conditioning as well. Enhance your
homes comfort, increase efficiency, keeping your home cozy and your
energy bills low. This is a third generation Zimer. Are
folks at Zimmer. You'll be dealing with Chris Zimmer. He's
running the show now and proud he is of his
family's heritage and tradition helping folks all over the area.

(01:10:29):
So scheduled appointment, it's so easy to do. One of
two ways I recommend going to the website can learn
more about all the services they offer. It's go zimmer
dot com. Go zimmer dot com. Tell Chris and the crew,
Brian said, how can you call for your appointment on
the phone? Five one three five one ninety eight ninety three.
That's five one three five two one ninety eight ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Three, fifty five KRC six fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
To fifty five KRC decok station. It's one of the
blessings of me being host to the fifty five Karacite
morning shows. I get to learn something literally every day,
and there isn't a day to go by it I
don't learn something. And this segment right now, I'm going
to learn something. Wallets. What are these? How fish data
turns into mobile wallet data? Unfold and explain this to
me and my listening audience, please, Dave attered right.

Speaker 9 (01:11:11):
This is another perfect example of how smart these cyber
criminals are. And it's not necessary that they're super sophisticated
from a technical standpoint. I mean, some of them are,
no doubt, but a lot of this is they just
learn how these systems work. They then, because apparently they're
evil and criminals at heart, figuring out how to stitch

(01:11:33):
these things together in a way to get to your money.
Because you know, and this is one of the things
that's really hard to get people to take seriously. I
hear all the time, Well, I you know, I'm just
a small business. I don't have anything worth stealing. Your
money is worth stealing, whether it's you as an individual
or your business. Now you know, there are nation state
actors out there, like the Chinese Communist Party who have

(01:11:55):
other intentions, whether it's caused chaos, so propaganda, steel, trade secrets,
et cetera. But most of these criminals just want to
get to your money, right, and they'll come at you
any way they can, on any medium they can, using
any techniques, tech and tools that they can. And this
is yet another way. You know, more and more people

(01:12:17):
are using things like digital wallets, Apple Pay, you know,
stuff like that, versus cash or even a traditional credit card.
You know, they know there's one of their payment apps
like Venmo. You know, will I refuse to use Venmo
or any of those sort of payment apps, not necessarily
because I think there's anything wrong with them per se.
It's because there are zero consumer protections when you use this.

(01:12:39):
I encourage people to look into this. I know young
people use them all the time. I argue with my
kids about this on a regular basis. But you know,
when you use a credit card, you have consumer protections
built into it, and generally speaking, you're only on the
hook for fifty bucks. Yep, if you have your credit
card number stolen. You know, if you have Venmo connected
to your main checking account, it's entirely possible to steal

(01:13:02):
all of the money in that account.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
So yeah, I'm sorry David, the idea of connecting anything
to my checking account.

Speaker 9 (01:13:09):
No, yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Brow Even if I were
going to use these things, which I don't, you know,
I would set up a separate account, put money in
that account so I could limit the exposure, and then
connect Venmo to that. So I would encourage everyone out there,
if you're using any of these electronic payment apps, have
a separate account, put money in that account specifically for

(01:13:34):
this purpose, and then you know, do that. That's it's
still not fool proof, but it will protect the nest egg.
If you know what I'm saying right, they can't get
to all of your money that way. But but basically, again,
these people are smart. They're they're figuring out new ways
to attack all the time. I would bet you every
single one of your listeners has gotten a text that says, oh,

(01:13:55):
your package wasn't delivered, or you know you owe a
toll or whatever. I'm I mean, I get.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
These things preod all the time.

Speaker 9 (01:14:02):
I would also remind folks on a tangential but important topic,
if you have a newer Apple phone by default, if
someone sends you a text on an Apple phone, and
again I'm not an Apple fanboy, they just tend to
be more focused on privacy and security. You get a text,
if that is not a recognized number, it will not
enable the link in that text as a way to

(01:14:24):
protect you from clicking something bad. However, if you respond
to the text, if you add that to your contacts
or whatever, then at that point going forward, it will say, well,
this is a recognized number, it's okay to let that
link work. My point being, if you get anything even
remotely suspicious, just delete it, don't respond to it. By responding,

(01:14:45):
you're not only potentially setting yourself up for a mistake
in the future. By clicking a bogus link, you're letting
the bad guys know that's a good number, right, So
it's just delete stuff, right. But basically, what these guys
are doing is they send out these texts, they get
people to click on them. And another reason why I
don't like text in general is because it's really hard

(01:15:07):
to look at a text and no, did it come
from a legitimate source, because it's easy to spoop a
phone number, right, so it's fake, yes, and that that really,
honestly is the best approach. But basically, what they're doing,
they're sending out text they're trying to get you to
pay a fee or whatever, and then they're you know,

(01:15:28):
ideally using one of these payment apps or something. Then
they try to link that and we're going to run
a time linked at to their account and steal your money.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
It's at the end of the day.

Speaker 9 (01:15:39):
It's almost always, especially on an individual level, stealing information
that will let them get to your money or stealing
your money, and better yet both if possible, because the
more information I have about you, well, the easier it
would be for me to steal your money from multiple sources.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Indeed, real quick here. Eric wants to know what about
zell he said, which I used directly for my bank's
websit in banking app.

Speaker 9 (01:16:02):
I do not use any sort of electronic payment app
like that. Again, look in at the consumer protections around.
I'm looking at the people that have had their money
stolen and how many of them have gotten their money back,
And as far as I know from my recent research,
dancers nobody. I do not think it happened. And Brian,
you know, you know I'm the tenfoil hat guy. I
realize I take a more extreme approach to this than

(01:16:24):
many people, but I also study it and I work
in the business, so you know, I'm just telling you
I don't use this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
Listen, man, your advice is sound from my perspective, and
you know, I sort of take this approach of it.
I live my entire entire life without these apps, and
it really doesn't bother me that it may be taking
me a little bit of extra time, but I'm not
exposed to these things because I've never gone over and
started using them. So yeah, I'm missing out on an
opportunity to you know, streamline processes and make my life easier.

(01:16:53):
But my life wasn't complicated before they came along, and
I don't believe it's that complicated now, and it keeps
me out of trouble at least goes along made toward it.
Dave Hatter, God bless you, sir for all that you do.
Thanks again to Interrust it for sponsoring the segment, your company,
intrust dot com for all your business computer needs. We'll
talk again next Friday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Dave.

Speaker 9 (01:17:13):
Thanks Brian, I hope you and your listeners and Joe
do as well. And I look forward to chatting with
you next Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
Looking forward to it coming up, Dan Reagan, I'll looking
forward to this. Well, there's another empower You Spring semester.
We're going to go through the details of the classes
that they're offering, all of them free watch them from home,
and Dan, we'll be on the show right after the
news stick around, News happens fast, stay up to date.
At the top of the hour.

Speaker 11 (01:17:35):
We're moving very quickly at.

Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
Fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
This report.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Seven oh six and a happy Friday to you. Brian
Thomas welcoming back to the fifty five PERC Morning Show.
It's been too long, but glad to have him back on.
Dan Reganold, who is now retired from his business Frame USA,
but he is the man responsible for and behind the
whole concept of the empower You free education courses and
they are really just a wonderful assortment of classes. And wow,

(01:18:17):
really cool classes you got lined up for the spring semester,
Dan Regnold, It's great to have you on the program
to talk about him.

Speaker 12 (01:18:24):
It's great to be to that back with you, sir.
And I was so glad to see the other morning
he had on the vik Ramaswami and had a chance
to hear from him. I had a chance to introduce
him it the other night, be one of the people
that introduced him at the Cincinnati event, and it was
just it was just electric.

Speaker 1 (01:18:42):
He isn't outstanding, I mean, just a brilliant man to
start with, an engaging public speaker. He's exciting, he's enthusiastic.
You know, he can really lift a crowd up as
opposed to bringing everybody down. I have huge hopes for
the state of Ohio he becomes our next governor. I'm
sure hoping that's exactly what happened. So I'm glad you're
behind DVIC as well.

Speaker 12 (01:19:03):
Optimistic.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Yeah, how many years, real quick, how many years has
it you've been doing these empower youth seminars.

Speaker 12 (01:19:08):
This is our fifteenth year, Oh my lord, and it's
hard to believe, but I'm so excited. You know, when
we had when we sold the building the tram USA
was in, we had to find a new location to
have our classes at are in person classes, and we've
just found a great location which is part of the
Scarlett Oaks campus right off Kemper Avenue, kind of in

(01:19:30):
between Reading Road and Mosteller. It's so it's very convenient
for everybody. And we've just got a great facility, Brian,
I'm so excited about it, with just huge screens, great acoustics,
seats about one ten or one twenty and I'm just
inviting everybody to come out, engage with some people that
are friendly and learn some learn some free class stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Oh and right out of the gate, I know my
listener is going to be excited about this, and I
hope my friend in Florida, Maureen is, because Maureene is listening,
because she is all over this first topic, as are
a lot of my listeners. Experimental mRNA vaccines were tested
on billions worldwide. That's the topic of the conversation and
you're going to be nail me. Wolf is going to
be there. I've talked to her a couple of times

(01:20:13):
on the Morning Show.

Speaker 12 (01:20:14):
I know We've had so many people sign up for
this class. It's about the mRNA vaccines, where I'm gonna
have the great Naomi Wolf who really released all the
piser stuff, and also doctor Robert Malone who was really
the originator of the mRNA technology. And then we're going
to finish the class up by talking to Stephanie Degary,

(01:20:35):
who whose daughter Maddie was actually in one of the
five prows and was injured. So all those people out
there that are interested in these vaccines, make sure this
is a virtual class. We do virtual classes on Tuesday
and then Thursday night the classes are in person and
virtual you can watch from your home. So that's March fourth,

(01:20:56):
our first class, and then we start our first live
class Art sixth, And that's what the great Peter Bronson.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
I love.

Speaker 12 (01:21:04):
So glad to have him back again as as O
is and uh he's got a new book out from
his Chili Press, and uh great to see him, and
also that night, one of the original founders of empower You,
George Brenneman, will talk about his new Restore Wellness campaign,
which will be interesting too. And then March eleventh, we

(01:21:24):
like to do fun stuff too. We're not all serious, Brian.
We're gonna have a We're gonna have an art class,
and who knows what you might learn about Salvador Dolly
one oh one man.

Speaker 1 (01:21:34):
He was a weird guy. Oh my god, he was
so weird.

Speaker 12 (01:21:38):
So when I was in the poster business originally Brian,
I sold posters to all the college bookstores around the
United States, and the two most popular posters were Michael
Jackson or Duran Durant. They were Salvador Dolly Persistence of
Memory and this this other image he had called Lave's
ls fonds one of the most unique guys. And if

(01:21:59):
you're into art, please join us March eleventh, where we're
going to have somebody from the Salvador Dolly Museum that's
going to join us and just go through everything.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
That should be really interesting.

Speaker 12 (01:22:11):
So on March thirteenth, there was a big, a big
joint committee in the House and Senate that Bill Blessing
shared to help people with this whole property tax issue,
which I know is just weighing everybody down. And of course,
if Vivick is elected governor, I think I heard him say, Brian,
he's going to try to get rid of property taxes.

(01:22:31):
Isn't that what we heard him say?

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
Yeah, that's exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:22:35):
But we're going to have Bill Blessing talk about his committee.
We will also hear from Maurice Thompson, a real friend
from the eighteen fifty one Center. He's going to talk
about his three percent plan, and I think it's a
great plan. It's simple. The most your taxes can go
up yours three percent. Wouldn't it be great to have
something common sense like that?

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
Common sense and so people can prepare the worst case scenario.
I'm going to see a three percent increase in my
taxes at least, you know in advance. It's not going
to jug jump thousands of dollars. I just I just
weak for the seniors out there on fixed incomes, you know,
who have owned their homes for decades in the end,
with a property tax bill, it's just wait, it's beyond
their reach. It's just it's unconscionable.

Speaker 12 (01:23:15):
Well, I hope to ask Bill Blessing that night, Hey Bill,
could you get to him Maurice's plan. So they had
these twenty one people, I'm unclear what they came up with.
I'm unclear if they decided anything. And and it's it's
about time we get something done. So March eighteenth, this
is going to be kind of our self improvement class
where we're going to talk about overcoming your limited beliefs.

(01:23:36):
It's still pretty early in the New Year, so get
your get your get your chance to come up with
some good, good things to move forward to. March twentieth,
a really interesting class on Herbert Hoover, who was really
one of the New Deal presidents. And there's just a
lot of controversy over over whether you know, whether Hoover
was good or bad, or right or wrong. And we're

(01:23:58):
going to be having uh Hunter Eyes Wall that night
that we'll be talking to us about the thirty first president,
Herbert Hoover, which I think will be good. And then
on March twenty fifth, we're going to talk about led
lighting and human health and all this blue light that's
coming in. Uh, it's harming us. This is kind of
a different subject as with everything and empower you. What

(01:24:21):
we want to do is we want to learn stuff
that was the original concept. We want people to get
get outside your comfort zone and learn something new. On
March twenty seventh, we'll be going outside of the studio
and visiting Tom Borgman, who just runs this incredible garden center,
White Oak Gardens on Blue Rock Road, and he's going

(01:24:42):
to be talking to us about just I'm outside my
comfort zone here, Brian. I know, I know you're the
you're the landscaper.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
No, no, no, that would be my better half.

Speaker 12 (01:24:53):
It's always good to have one of those.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
I kick, I'll get a beer, I'll go out in
the backyard and just look at the beauty that my
wife has responsible for bringing about.

Speaker 12 (01:25:03):
Anyway, for those of you who are a little weakness
in this area, Tom Boardman is great. And afterwards you
can go and tell them, hey, here's what I've got,
what can you what can you tell me about it?
And and the guy's just he's been such a friend
to empower you. On April first, you know, we're going
to have people in from Fair uh Ira Melman, and

(01:25:24):
he's going to talk about what, you know, if there
is going to be some kind of legislation going forward.
He's going to paint a picture for us what fair believes.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Federation for American Immigration Reform in Washington, that's a group
that you're talking about.

Speaker 12 (01:25:40):
Yeah, it is, and I'm interested to see what he's
got to say. That's going to be a virtual class
and gosh, let's say said it's a it's a it's
a it's an important topic. April third, our friend Janis
Heisel from The Epic Times will be in. She'll talk
to us about being on the road with Donald Trump
the last six months leading up to his presidency. I

(01:26:02):
think she covered sixty events for him and for The
Epic Times, and she actually was there the day that
he got shot. So I think that'll be fantastic. We're
also going to have the Cincinnati Challenge ranch in and
I've just got kind of someone I know who's been
burdened by addiction. I know many people do. They're going

(01:26:23):
to talk about what they do to try to help
help people with drug, alcohol and alcohol problems. So looking
forward to seeing them.

Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
Also, well, let's pause, we're going to take a break
and bring it back for the balance of the classes.

teaching a class on something that I've always been interested in,
and that is the War of eighteen twelve. It's just
kind of one of those things you don't know about,
but it's so interesting that is really the war when
you know we fought with the Native, the Native American
tribes to come so where we tried to invade Canada.

(01:31:56):
Where if we're lucky that the British didn't didn't take
us back over, we had the Federalists fighting against the Republicans.
It will be an interesting story. I hope that you

Chaw kingbram On fifty five krc the talk station seven

(01:37:45):
thirty here fifty five KRCD talk station. Very happy Friday
to you. Putting a smile on my face to have
Patty Scott and Roger King. Roger King's on the line,
Patty Scott's in studio hert for Seniors. We've had him
on before, and from the bottom of my heart, I
want to thank all my listeners for supporting the organization.
They're doing wonderful things for seniors in you know care centers,

(01:38:10):
you know Alzheimer's facilities, senior living centers, where they're quite
often not closely watched and tended to. It's not that they,
you know, intentionally neglect someone, but it's the concept of
being able to know when someone is in need of
some attention along the lines of incontinence, changing diapers and things,
because otherwise you're stewing in your own juices. To put

(01:38:31):
it lightly, Patty, always a pleasure to have you in
the studio. Welcome back, Roger, it's good to have you
on as well, sir, Thank you.

Speaker 13 (01:38:39):
Thank you, and Brian again, thank you for having us,
because it's your listener base that has taken such an
interest in this topic and they're always supporting. And what
I love is after the show they always call in
and we're helping them. We've had and which is why
we've launched the podcast, because we had so many questions

(01:39:01):
from so many of your listeners that needed help.

Speaker 1 (01:39:04):
Well, that's great, it's you know, it's one of the
reasons I get up in the morning is because I
get an opportunity to spread news and information about organizations
like yours. And what a simple concept and genuinely, you know,
easily affordable concept you guys have brought about. It just
sounds like why didn't someone do this before? So without

(01:39:26):
why don't you remind my listeners, maybe the someone who's
not familiar with It's It's heart the number four seniors
dot org. That's the website where you can learn about
their mission and maybe donate. I provided them with a
donation myself. I was so inspired by what they're doing.
So one of you, Roger or Patty, take it over
and explain the concept what you're doing.

Speaker 7 (01:39:46):
Okay, well I'll launch this off. Well, first of all,
let's just talk about the problem.

Speaker 14 (01:39:52):
And basically, when you look at incontinence care and nursing
homes and assisted living and other aggregate living situations, the
lack of responsiveness to incontinent episodes is a major area
of concern. I would say that when you're looking at

(01:40:12):
fifty to eighty percent of the population in a nursing
home being in continent. That's a lot of people and right,
we're seeing often and.

Speaker 7 (01:40:24):
It's not incumb at.

Speaker 14 (01:40:25):
Able to see people lay for twelve hours without being
changed or more. And sometimes by then, of course they've
had several episodes of incontinence, and you know, you're you're
looking at some really negative outcomes that can occur from that.
Usually the first thing is you get you know, red

(01:40:46):
blistered skin, which is painful. Typically you'll see that epidermal
erosion turn into a wound, and of course of the
incontinent and attention continues that wind's going to get infected.
This is a spiral downward and often you'll see these

(01:41:08):
wounds get very deep and with with a systemic infection,
you know, you can you can be looking at a
hospitalization and even death. So it's it really is an
area of care that is just fundamental and can lead
to some.

Speaker 7 (01:41:26):
Pretty serious negative outcomes.

Speaker 14 (01:41:28):
So what we need to do is do better in
a way that doesn't punish people or use you know, punishments.

Speaker 7 (01:41:37):
As the way of going about it. And that's that's
been what we're about.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
Yeah, and you and you say punishment, you're talking about
the caregivers at whatever facility that are responsible for going
around and checking on the status of each individual patient.
But if you get a facility that's got a lot
of people in it, and there's always there's always not
enough people to take care of the people in the facility.
And Patty's nodding and great approval. So the ratio of
providers to patients, if we can call them patients, is inadequate.

(01:42:08):
But that's difficult thing to overcome. And the other component is,
you know, they're not always the most highly trained, skilled people.
You're not talking about skilled nurses taking care of folks.
You're talking about, you know, people who have just been
given a certain set of you know, training, and like, okay,
every two hours or every five hours or every ten hours,
I want you to do this particular wing and once
you check them and then you go back to your posts.
So I get that, But punishing them for something that

(01:42:31):
they have, well, an inability to get their heads and
hands around, just seems like it just a worthless effort.
So we'll pause and we'll bring back Roger and Patty
to talk about a much much better way to go
about doing this. And it's really terrific, and I know
my listeners are going to go directly to the facilities
where their loved ones are and demand that this be

(01:42:51):
brought about. That's what we're hoping that happens. So let's
pause for a moment. And I feel so terrible. You know,
a big fan of Gene Hackman. I'm not going to
go down to the road about you know, movies and
movie stars and the like, but great actor. And they
found him, his wife, and their dog dead in their house.
And the first thing they went through my mind because
there was no signs of foul plan. I know it
has been fully investigated. Carbon monoxide has been talked about

(01:43:12):
as a possible reason for their death. And that's why
I always like to use the Chimney Care Fireplace in
stove commercials to just do the right thing and get
yourself a carbon monoxide detector and of course to take
care of your safety. That's what Chimney Care Fireplace and
stove is all about. It's comfort, but yes, it's also safety.
Have your chimney inspected. For you woodburners out there, They

(01:43:32):
have a woodburning sweep and evaluation called the Winter Special
for just one hundred and sixty nine dollars in ninety
nine cents plus tax. They'll inspect your chimney top the botto.
If it needs to be swept, they'll sweep it. Maybe
their lining's cracked, that's nice information to know. They know
how to do relining. Anything that's wrong, including water damage,
they'll find out about it. That's the point of an
inspection and of course the sweep so woodburning, sweep and evaluation.

(01:43:54):
Lola price of one sixty nine ninety nine Get in
touch with my friends a chimney Care fireplace and stove.
Can easily scheduled appointment online and see all the other
things they offer, including the showroom options and the fireplace
inserts and stoves. That's Chimneycareco dot Com that are locally

Kingbram On fifty five KRC, The Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (01:45:11):
Fifty five KRC the Talk Station, A very happy Friday
to you Air Force Colonel Josh McConkie with his book
Be the Weight Behind the Spear. After the top of
the our news and the return of Vets and Bruce
for the Bourbon Raffle and concert Matt Damarison Shay Hensley
at eight thirty. In the meantime, plan please to have
Patty Scott and Roger King on the show to talk
about Heartforce Seniors. It's heart the Number four Seniors dot org.

(01:45:33):
They address elder abuse and neglect in nursing homes and
elder care facilities. And we were talking about incontinent. It's
a huge problem. It's almost impossible for everyone to stay
up on it, which is why, as Roger pointed out
in the last segment and sorry to hear it, with
eighty percent of the patient's experiencing a continence, and that's
a figure I was not aware of. That's a lot.

(01:45:53):
So you have a huge volume of people who need
their diapers change regularly, and he Roger already outlined all
the medical implications behind that not happening. So now we
address the problem with a unbelievably simple, ingenious solution. You
want to take care of that, Roger, Patty is at
your turn.

Speaker 13 (01:46:15):
Roger, I can. I can talk about it here as well.
So Hard for Seniors actually funds with your donations. Additional technology,
it's simple. It's alert response technology and it literally is
technology that is a smart brief specifically with incontinence. And

(01:46:35):
Roger can go into more detail of that. That simply
alerts the healthcare worker that there's been moisture.

Speaker 1 (01:46:41):
Right, So second floor, Room B. Got to go there
because you've got a situation. I don't have to worry
about it.

Speaker 14 (01:46:47):
Oh, go ahead, No, it's better than that.

Speaker 15 (01:46:52):
It is it is missus Smith in room one hundred
that the stepp knows exactly who it is. It's when
you think about this, you first have to look at
the protocol that most of these nursing homes are using them.
They say, well, to the staff, you're supposed to check
every resident every two hours to see if they've had

(01:47:13):
an incontinence episode.

Speaker 14 (01:47:15):
Of course, there's no accountability for that. Now, when you
do the math, if you have just fifty people in
a building with twelve nursing assistants, you're supposed to check
those people six hundred times a day. If you're doing
it every two hours, it doesn't work. The numbers don't work.
And when I've asked.

Speaker 7 (01:47:35):
Nursing assistants, well, how do you check? How do you check? Well?

Speaker 14 (01:47:39):
You hear things like I touch, I smell, I feel,
I peak. It's undignified for both parties, really, and when
you set up, when you set up a protocol that's
doomed to failure, and everybody knows that. Eventually you get
surrender and surrender equals neglect, so numbers don't work.

Speaker 7 (01:48:00):
And with the technology, what.

Speaker 14 (01:48:02):
We do is we forget all that only go when
you're alerted that there's an episode. So now instead of
trying to run around and check everybody, we're directing traffic
and we're saying to the nurse aid, go to room
one hundred, check on missus Smith, and it talks to
a smartphone the nurse ades carrying and she goes to

(01:48:24):
the room, and then the technology monitors how fast they
got there, you know, and tracks the time it took
to take care. What we're seeing with the bioling technology
is about a one hour response time on average, which
is excellent. We're getting there quick so and then the

(01:48:45):
staff ultimately, as the software tracks what's going on and
creates daily reports, we do an incentive program which gives
rewards points to the nursing assistance for moving faster and
working harder, so we get better efficiency overall, and we
get better outcomes and better responsiveness to the needs of

(01:49:08):
these residents.

Speaker 1 (01:49:09):
That's just that's entire that's the entire process. It's just
so logical and reasonable. And I always wonder because you know,
this type of technology has been available, or it could
have easily been available for quite some time. But it's
just amazingly impactful. And I like the incentive program built
on top of it, because again, getting people to get

(01:49:31):
up and do something that they probably is the least
desirous part of their job. Okay, you're going to get
to interact with seniors and maybe help them if you
get joy and enlightenment from that, help them with their
meals and move them around, get them outside. That kind
of thing all up can be uplifting components of the job,
but when it comes to dealing with this, I gotta
imagine it's probably bottom on the list of things that

(01:49:51):
folks want to do. So having an incentive to get
up there and clean them up real quickly is just
an extra benefit of this of this this software and
this technology. Now I'm on your website again, heartfour Seniors
dot org. Does it monitor other things? Because I see
you talk about irregular heartbeat and dehydration and respiratory conditions

(01:50:14):
and things of that nature. Does it also do that?

Speaker 10 (01:50:17):
Well?

Speaker 14 (01:50:19):
The brief system itself will monitor for fevers, It will
also monitor for turning a position. But within that software,
we will alert if someone hasn't urinated in a certain
period of time, So we're looking at dehydration, we're looking
at some other kinds of factors that you can information

(01:50:40):
you can derive from the output of the human body.
So there's that, but we have additional hardware that feeds
them to Ultimately, the goal is to have an entire
ecosystem of technology over a building. So we're alerting on lots.

Speaker 7 (01:50:55):
Of different needs.

Speaker 14 (01:50:57):
So there's a riskwearable device that looks at pulsec symmetry,
it looks at heart rate, it will alert on tacocardia, bradycardia,
and we're looking at fever with that as well. So
if something goes above or blow a certain threshold and

(01:51:17):
it's patient specific, it sends out an alert to the
smart devices and tells us that, hey.

Speaker 7 (01:51:23):
Missus Jones in room two hundred.

Speaker 14 (01:51:25):
Has a fever, or we've got to drop in pulsec symmetry,
you know, seventy five percent instead of you know, above ninety,
whatever the case may be. So the technology is designed
to tell the staff there's a need that exists potentially
with a resident. We need you to go check on them,

(01:51:46):
We need you to go deal with this as opposed.

Speaker 7 (01:51:50):
To just, you know, having some sort of protocol or
neglect happen, as the case may be.

Speaker 14 (01:51:58):
I can imagine how long long it might be if
someone has a fever and a nursing him before it's detective.

Speaker 7 (01:52:05):
It can go for a while.

Speaker 14 (01:52:07):
And the earlier you get there, the faster you respond
to these needs.

Speaker 7 (01:52:12):
The better the outcome.

Speaker 1 (01:52:14):
Well, and I'm for your idea, and I'm staring at
your results at drew on heartfur Seniors dot org, and
I was just kind of wondering as I see the
insane increase in improvement eighty six percent improvement in response time,
ninety three percent reduction in hospitalizations, ninety five percent reduction
amiss early warning signs, ninety percent increase in overall patient satisfaction.

(01:52:37):
And it's kind of one of the things I was thinking,
are these facilities rated by state organizations or entities? Do
they get scores themselves, like oh, that one's got a
bad rep, that one's got a good rep. This could
in and of itself create a much more positive environment
and a much higher satisfaction rate among the patients because
they're being taken care of. The family members know that

(01:52:57):
this technology is there, and they're not going to get neglected.
They're going to see the scores and the numbers. I
mean this is this is good for the facility, it's
good for the families who are worried about their loved one,
and more fundamentally, it's good for the loved one who's
laying there.

Speaker 7 (01:53:10):
I would agree.

Speaker 14 (01:53:10):
It's it's a win win win, and ultimately it's uplifting
to the caregivers.

Speaker 7 (01:53:16):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 14 (01:53:17):
You're talking about employees who make let's just say twenty
dollars an hour for a nursing assistant. That's not a
living wage. And we come in with the technology and
we say, you know what, if you move fast, if
you work harder, if you learn some new skills around technology,
we're going to give you additional rewards. And Brian, what's
really interesting is a nursing assistant. You know, every two

(01:53:40):
weeks we issue the gift cards to these people and
let's just say it's one hundred and fifty dollars. That's
gasoline in their car, that's groceries to their family, that's
extra money they have and they look forward to that.
It's it's amazing how much difference it makes to them.
So We're to not just impact that residence, but the workers,

(01:54:04):
the healthcare workers themselves, you know, and make sure that
they're uplifted along with the quality of care.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
Amen to that. You are a five oh one C
three nonprofit and of course you provide these resources to
folks and it's all funded through individual contributions and donations.
And I strongly encourage my listeners. You're saving lives with this,
and you're improving people's quality of life, especially in those
years where a lot of people suffer from a lack
of quality of life. Heart Number four Seniors dot Org

(01:54:36):
upper right hand corner, little button says donates easy to do.
I've been there and done that, and I sure got
a great amount of satisfaction for knowing that that money
was being spent. I mean, you know, this is a
worthwhile donation. I'll tell you why, Patty and Roger. It
has been a real pleasure having you back on and
I feel so much better about the seniors and those
facilities thanks to the work that you're doing. And again

(01:54:57):
I'll encourage my listeners to help you out with the donation.
On your website learn more about the entire program. Keep
up the great work.

Speaker 13 (01:55:05):
Brian, Thank you for your support. I could not do
it without you, and we encourage anybody who wants to
go deeper about incontinence head out to the podcast. We
are on all platforms, including the iHeart platform, and it's
a deep dive. It's a long one, but Roger and
doctor SHAWNA. Rutherford go deep into incontinence care, wounds, all

(01:55:28):
kinds of things, and we're going to keep doing the
podcast because your.

Speaker 1 (01:55:30):
Listeners have asked, oh that's great.

Speaker 13 (01:55:32):
They've wanted specific topics, so we're just going to keep
going with it.

Speaker 1 (01:55:36):
So it's Heart for Seniors podcast. Search for it, you'll
find it and I'm sure you'll enjoy finding out all
the information and details. Thanks again for the work that
you're doing, truly uplifting work it is, and love gett
an uplifting message on a Friday, particularly take care. Both
of you have a wonderful weekend and I'm sure we'll
be hearing from you again down the road at least
I hope. So, folks, you want to get in touch

(01:55:57):
with my friends at Butterbert Motors. It's springtime. It's time
to think about doing the lawn. You know you're gonna
be cutting the grass and you know you're old lawnmower
ain't up to snuff, or maybe you've been looking and
thinking about a new one. Don't go to the box stores.
You give me working with a box store family member,
someone who takes pride in the organization. Probably not. You
think going to be talking to someone who knows everything
there is to know about the equipment they sell, Probably not.

(01:56:18):
And they will not be selling the world's top quality
brands like John Deere and x Mark and Steel and Honda.
That's the what brands that Bud Herbert Motors services and
cells and about which they have all the knowledge in
the world. And you will be working and speaking with
a Herbert family member when you shop there. Proud they

everyone at very very happy Friday and please as I
can be. And I'm sure my listening audience is happy
that I have him on right now. Thanks to Joe
Jacker for lining up Doctor Colonel Josh McConkie. He is

(01:57:23):
an award winning bestselling author and estemed emergency physician with
more than two decades of clinical experience. Sir also is
a professor at Duke University and maintains Board certification in
emergency Medicine. The twenty fwo years of military service, Doctor
McConkie now commands the four hundred and fifty ninth Aero
Medical Staging Squadron in the US Air Force Reserves. He
also has a military service which includes providing critical medical

(01:57:45):
support in both wartime and peacetime operations, more than three
hundred and forty hours as a flight surgeon, and ninety
combat hours in rotor wing medical evaluation and air assault
missions in the Middle East. He's an Air Medal and
Armyccommodation Metals recipient for exemplary service during Operation Wracking Freedom.
I mentioned he's a best selling author. Worked here to
have doctor Conkie, doctor Colonel McConkie talk about his best

(01:58:08):
selling book, Be the Weight Behind the Spear, Doctor Colonel McConkie,
it's a pleasure to have you on the fifty five
Carosee Morning Show and thank you for your service to
our country.

Speaker 11 (01:58:18):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 7 (01:58:19):
It's a pleasure to be with you this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:58:21):
Now, you actually perform surgeries in helicopters.

Speaker 11 (01:58:25):
So you can. Yes, a lot of it is just trauma,
trauma and life support, but yes, it's it's not ideal.

Speaker 1 (01:58:33):
But if you have to yes, oh my word. And
so you were in the thick of it, if you
were flying wounded individuals and in combat, that's a that's
I would obviously say, that's a very dangerous proposition.

Speaker 11 (01:58:46):
Yeah, that was before my before marriage and children, So
I would probably, uh, it would have to be a
World War three level scenario for me to put myself
in a situation.

Speaker 1 (01:58:56):
Like that for an hour. You can get a young
person do anything. Doctor anyway, be the Way behind the Sphere.
I obviously from the notes, and I think anybody can
observe we are not exactly a very unified country or
quitely divided country. And I absolutely think I've noted on
the air and observed many times over. I think that

(01:59:16):
there are some you know, evil forces out in the
world that intentionally stir the pot of division in this country. Obviously,
we being the most successful country that has ever been,
Thank God for that. We're the source of envy and
green And of course we've got enemies in the world,
and it does them a lot of benefit to divide America.
I used to look at the American flag and view
it as a symbol of unification. It stood for freedom

(01:59:39):
under which anybody can stand and enjoy their own life pursuits.
But at every turn we seem to be yelling at
each other about every minuscule problem in the world. I
guess is that concept, as at least I observe it
one of the reasons you wrote this book.

Speaker 11 (01:59:56):
That has a major part to play. You know, it's
the tell us divided politically and generationally in this country
that I've seen in my lifetime. You know, I'm forty
seven years old, and I'm hoping that we can find
something in common to focus on. And if people would
just focus on developing our future leaders and engaging their communities,
America would be a much better place and try to

(02:00:19):
bring us back together.

Speaker 1 (02:00:20):
Well. And you would think, because future leaders are going
to be running the show, we want the best and brightest,
that we would all work collectively for the benefit of everyone,
regardless of stripes standing beneath that flag, to advance these
people and help them out along the way. But in
this society, part of the reasons we have so much divisions,
these so called current leaders actually foster and encourage the

(02:00:41):
division that we're talking about.

Speaker 11 (02:00:45):
It really is detrimental to our future. The best resource
that we have in this country is our people. It's coaches,
it's teachers, it's volunteers and mentors. That needs to be
the focus instead of the political division. And you know,
right now, I feel like you have half the country
that's just missing.

Speaker 1 (02:01:02):
The plot completely. Yes, you do well, I wrote, as
I was, you know, think preparing for this interview, I
wrote down the three profound you know, the type of
folks that were most profound in him having an impact
on my life. My parents first and foremost. They gave
me the gift of education, and they really encouraged and
insisted that I get a good education. So and they

(02:01:24):
helped me to get through college in law school and
I went on to practice law for sixteen years. They
able to build a family and take care of them
thanks to the education. But also education included certain of
my educators, my teachers in K through twelve and of
course college. Some of them stood out and were truly inspirational.
Thank you, Chuck Barkholtz, you're out there listening. He was
a brilliant man and one of the most influential teachers

(02:01:47):
of my life. And then my mentors, the people that
I worked for, the partners at the law firm who
taught and trained me and gave me all the tools
of the trade I needed to be successful. That's the
kind of people we're talking about. But moving aside from
my personal experience, everyone I think is an expert at
something and can pass that along to the next generation
of people. If we're all thinking about, you know, building

(02:02:09):
these future leaders.

Speaker 11 (02:02:12):
Everybody has a unique skill, everybody has something different to give,
and what they do every single day matters. They need
to realize that and they need to get out in
their community. It can be something different for everyone, right
coaching little league or soccer, or volunteering in your church
or your school. And some people that sti't like working
with people, That's fine. Get out there in your community.

(02:02:34):
There's plenty of organizations, animal shelters that become emotional support
animals for somebody. There's this is a team sport America
and life is a team sport.

Speaker 1 (02:02:46):
So in writing this book, how do you how do
you frame it in the sense that to get like
people to to to answer your call to action along
these lines, because again with all the division I unity
of people, I think people just some like ad a
hell that I I just give it up.

Speaker 11 (02:03:02):
You know, unless you recognize the problem, you can't fix it.
So our bad policy decisions over the past four or
five years are now coming to roost. As an emergency physician,
I see this generation. They're coming in with a huge
mental health crisis. I see anxiety, depression, and very sadly suicides,

(02:03:24):
and it rips your heart out every single time. These
kids are so young, the mental health crisis.

Speaker 1 (02:03:29):
Is very real.

Speaker 11 (02:03:30):
And then as a military commander, I see the same generation.
They lack the simple resiliency skills. They fold at the
very smallest of obstacles. And I was so concerned that
I sat down and I wrote this book. I need
Americans to get engaged, and this is the call to action.

Speaker 1 (02:03:48):
Well it sounds like you speak, Pete Hegsath's Language Defense
Secretary Pete Tegsath. Because I worry as much. I do
anything I can, by the way, sir, to help and
support the American veterans, because I have so much respect
for them. But I saw the recruit numbers declining dramatically.
And now, of course you have physical fitness problems in
this country with hopefully RFK Junior may help to deal with,

(02:04:10):
but we'll keep our fingers crossed. But also the American
military becoming this woke entity. There was nothing but an
extension of the k K through twelve and college education, identity, politics,
vehicle and in doctrination camp. What does that have to
do with killing people and breaking things? Which is always
my boiled down look on what the military should be.

Speaker 11 (02:04:33):
You know, it is a terrible and horrific job. I
have been on the front lines. I have flown metavac,
I did one aerosoult. Scariest thing I've ever done, and
that's our job. Nobody wants to do that job, but
when you're called upon, you have to be able to
execute that job and deliver that lethality with no questions asked.
So if what your government, if what they're asking you

(02:04:56):
to do, does not help you do that, then you're
wasting our time literally deteriorating our capabilities. And I am
so thankful that we have this current leadership in office
that is getting us pointed back in the right direction
because the last four years have been very, very hard.
As a military commander, it's been very difficult. I follow commands.

(02:05:16):
We have civilian led you know, leadership for our military,
and you know, I'm proud to follow, you know, our
civilian elected leaders. I just disagreed with a lot of
the policy decisions. And I'm very thankful that we have
p type staff at the Helm now.

Speaker 1 (02:05:30):
So you saw this firsthand because you're still in an
active role. I guess, can can you explain my listening audience,
did it really was it really pervasive? These DEI woke policies,
if I can call them woke policies and get away
with it, I mean, was it that pervasive?

Speaker 11 (02:05:46):
It was very pervasive. It almost became a singular focus,
and they were dividing people. They were dividing like my airmans.
So when you would sit down, you know, with the
quotas and the DEI, and they were literally different awards
that you would submit members for someone, you know, at
a wing or Air force wide level, and meetings alone,

(02:06:09):
they were separating. Here's the African American contingent, and here's
the Asian contingent, and here's the LGBTQ. It defeated the
entire purpose of building unity in the military. It was separating.
And when you try to build your morale and your
spree to corps and then you look at people that
were willing to join the military, those numbers were deteriorating.

(02:06:32):
That's a direct reflection of those bad policies you saw
immediately in December with one election in less than thirty days,
those December recruiting numbers ramped up exponentially because the men
and women that you asked to serve this country and
lay their lives on the line, they just want to
be able to do their job and execute. The DEI

(02:06:53):
initiatives were degrading that capability.

Speaker 1 (02:06:56):
So you're answering your question I was going to ask you,
there are are still patriotic young Americans out there that
still believe in the message of freedom and liberty that
our country stands for, that probably would have signed up
for military service maybe in earlier times, but under this
woke governance and this woke ideological concept that was going on,
they wouldn't do that. But they're still out there.

Speaker 11 (02:07:20):
They are still there. I am proud to serve with
many of them. I have one hundred men and women
under my command, best war fighting medics in the United
States Air Force, and I'm glad we are back on
the right track because the world needs a strong American military.
The American people demand one, and we are now heading
back in that direction.

Speaker 1 (02:07:38):
One subset of this, and I know you're outspoken on
this whole renaming of Fort Bragg Fort Liberty. Can you
address that and tell me what an impact that had,
just specifically.

Speaker 11 (02:07:50):
So that right there, it is always going to be
Fort Bragg. It has always been Fort Bragg. Everyone in
the world knows of that name. That there's culture, movie references, Rambo.
Everybody knows what Brag stands for, and it's the men
and women that have served it had nothing to do
with a World War Two general over one hundred and

(02:08:11):
fifty years ago. That has to do with the men
and women and the mission that is going on at
Fort Bragg, you know, the heart of airborne operations, of
special operations, the JFK Special Warfare Center. I was not
happy with that name changed to Fort Liberty. Nobody in Fayetteville,
I live in North Carolina. Nobody called it Fort Liberty.

(02:08:32):
It was always Fort Bragg. And we're very happy that
it's back to being Fort Bragg officially, and in doing so,
they've actually named it after a World War Two veteran
from the Greatest Generation role in Brag. So it's a
win on both fronts.

Speaker 1 (02:08:45):
The name of the book, The Weight behind the Spear,
written by my guest today, impressive. He is doctor Colonel Mconkey.
Who did you write this book for? Is it literally
for anyone, anybody in any capacity, to pass along their
own knowledge and experience life or career to young people.
I suppose the audience for this book is far and wide.

Speaker 11 (02:09:07):
It's far and wide anybody that deals with this younger generation, teachers, coaches, parents,
business leaders, business leaders don't realize that this is still
their problem. These kids are coming to you looking for jobs,
and if they lack these skills, your business will not
be successful.

Speaker 1 (02:09:25):
So really, everybody, it's been a real pleasure having on
the Morning show again on behalf of all of my
listening audience, my family me personally thank you for your
service to our country and for writing this inspiring book.
Be the weight behind the sphere what we've done for
everyone's benefit. As my producer has put your book on
my blog page of fifty five kres dot com with

(02:09:46):
the link to get a copy, and it will strongly
encourage them to do that and then share the book
with a friend who you think might help out as well. Doctor,
it has been a Colonel, I don't know what you prefer,
but doctor, Colonel Josh McCaughey, it's been a real distinct
pleasure having in the pro and thanks again for spending
time with my listeners in me this morning. Time for

(02:10:06):
the nice nine first warning weather forecast. Start off with
the Wind Advisor. It starts at ten this morning and
lasts until seven pm, putting that aside to be a
partly tidy day with a higher fifty seven dropping down
to thirty one overnight. Tomorrow's high thirty eight with a
chance of snow floors. I guess in the morning we'll
have clouds in the morning and sun in the afternoon.
Skies clear up overnight being eighteen and on Sunday mostly

Sunday skies with a highest thirty eight thirty five degrees.
Right now, let's get a traffic update, Chuck.

From the UCLP Traffic Center. Around forty percent of cancers
are preventable. Lifestyle changes and screenings can make a difference.
Call five one three five eighty five U see see

northbound seventy five is between Milk and Kyle's Shot King
Vermont fifty five KRC The talk station.

Speaker 1 (02:11:11):
Eight twenty nine fifty five KCV talks the station and
a very happy Friday to you helping out the American
veteran Again today, welcome back to the BIDW fifth CARC
Morning Show Matt Damaris and Shay Hensley to talk about
the is It third Annual Bourbon Barrel Raffle. It's going
on again, and I know my listening audience is going
to help you sell all these tickets out. Good to

(02:11:32):
have you guys back on and I appreciate what you're
doing for the American veteran. Hey, how's it going, man?

Speaker 16 (02:11:37):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (02:11:37):
Right, third third one.

Speaker 16 (02:11:39):
It's it's getting to be a big event for us,
for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:11:43):
It sure is. Well. Start off by reminding my listeners
what the the raffle ticket is going to get them
in terms of assistancy the American veteran.

Speaker 7 (02:11:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:11:52):
So basically this is a fundraiser I got involved with
with Shay. You know, I met him through real estate
and he was I think he's on his fifth year
for concert for a cause and he's just a big
supporter of vets and Bruis for a long time and
asked if I wanted to get involved with this. So
we put together a Bourbon raffle to raise funds so

(02:12:14):
I could purchase VIP tables for veterans at his concert.

Speaker 1 (02:12:21):
So we bring him in, they.

Speaker 16 (02:12:23):
Get to bring a guest, they get to see an
awesome concert that helps out a great cause, and I,
you know, do what I do, and I buy their
beers all day or all night at the concert and
then you know, whatever proceeds are left over from the
bourbon raffle. We just split up between concert for a
Cause and vets and bruis. And last year we were

(02:12:43):
on top of getting the vets at the tables and
having a great night, we were able to write a
check to concert for a cost for twenty five hundred bucks.

Speaker 7 (02:12:50):
It was.

Speaker 1 (02:12:51):
It was a great, great event. Man, that is fantastic.
How many years you've been doing how many years you've
been doing the concert for the Cauche.

Speaker 6 (02:12:59):
Yeah, this is our.

Speaker 10 (02:12:59):
Few annual, our fifth annual concert for calls and it's
grown each year. And stuff. We keep everything local. We've
rotated charities each year and stuff. This year we're hosting
to that Threat Board, which is a great venue there
in Blue ash especially for music and food and everything

(02:13:23):
and some great beers. And this year all proceeds one
hundred percent of proceeds go to Inclusive Housing Resources. They're
based out of Fairfield and what they do is they
manage and develop safe and affordable housing for disabled people

(02:13:43):
and families in Hamilton, Butler and Claremont Counties. Wow, we're
pretty excited to be teaming with them and partnering with them.

Speaker 1 (02:13:52):
I bet here, that's an inspiring cause and organization right there.
I understand last year you guys put together fifteen thousand
dollars in Donny to a local family that had an
eighth grader that was going through chemotherapy.

Speaker 10 (02:14:04):
We did, we did, and you know, Bets and Bruce
Matt's a big part of that. All State Insurance, Steve
Miller and his team and Jennifer Kellum and Absolute Title
down in Fairfield, you know, plus a lot of volunteers.
Union Savings Bank is a part of it. We got
volunteers that come together. But yes, we raised fifteen thousand

(02:14:26):
dollars and we just seen on Facebook, which you know,
that's great for social media to be able to stay
in contact. That Darcy she she kicked cancer's butt and
rang the bell a few weeks ago, so we're pretty
excited for her.

Speaker 1 (02:14:42):
Oh that is so wonderful. Well, my listeners, I want
to let you know right now, because people are going
to buy these tickets up, I'm going to start talking
about some of the bourbons and the bourbon raffle here
just a second, we'll get back to the concert for
a cause. Go to my blog page A fifty five
casea dot com. You'll see the list of bourbons that
are available for the for the raffle, and then there's
a link to buy tickets. Now, I just say that

(02:15:02):
out loud because Matt I tried to go directly to
vetsnbrwis dot com, and at least on my website it
wasn't working. But the link, the longer link that takes
you directly to the bourbon raffle works like a charm.
So it's easy to get a ticket right there. Now,
how much your tickets, Matt.

Speaker 16 (02:15:19):
They're twenty five bucks apiece, so and that that gives
you the opportunity to win one of those bottles. So
basically what we do is we will have a default
list of you know what we think the best bottle
to the least best bottle is. But here in a
probably three or four days before the raffle, we'll send
an email out to everyone who's bought a ticket, and

(02:15:40):
if if you want to pick the default list, you can.
If you want certain bottles, you can list them however
you want, and we'll just go down your list if
your number gets called, whatever your highest ranking bourbon is
that's the one you're going to win.

Speaker 1 (02:15:54):
Oh, no kidding. So it's like putting them in a
basket at at a at A at a silent auction
that you know I could have been to. Everybody's been
to a million of those. So you put like ten
tickets in the one item that you want to win,
right well.

Speaker 16 (02:16:07):
At the for the online raffle, you'll just have the list.
So if the first person picks a bottle of bourbon
and then you win number two, we're gonna see.

Speaker 1 (02:16:16):
If your your yours is available.

Speaker 16 (02:16:18):
But at the live raffle, that's exactly what we're gonna
be doing. We're gonna do a live raffle with fret
Board next Saturday on the eighth from three to five pm,
and we'll have seven additional bottles there, and that's how
we're gonna work it. We're just gonna put baskets in
front of it, each bottle of bourbon and you get
a If you bought a ticket online, we're gonna give

(02:16:39):
you seven tickets. You can put them in one basket
in each or you put them all in one if
you've got a certain bottle you like, and we'll just
at the end of the day, we'll just start pulling
tickets out of there and give those bottles away as well,
so you can win online, you can win in person,
a lot of opportunity to get some really good bottles
of bourbon for you know, a very cheap ticket, honestly.

Speaker 1 (02:17:00):
Very cheap ticket and an unbelievably worthy cause. So every
little bit helps, and you put five hundred tickets together
at twenty five bucks a pop, you've got a nice
contribution for the charities and the veterans. Let's pause. I
want to bring you both back to get a little
bit more detail about this separate events. A fretboard bring
event on the eighth, but then the concert for the
cause is April twelfth, so we're going to talk about
the details on those. Just hang in. We'll be back

(02:18:45):
ton of money for Patriots Landing for your well charitable

cold beer in front of him. You'll be able to
do that at the live drawing at the Bourbon Barrel
Live Drawing. So go online to fifty carecy dot com.
Click the link that will get you to the page
where you buy your online raffle twenty bottles of bourbon

(02:19:06):
and they're all listed right there. You'll be having an
opportunity to win one of those with your online ticket.
We've already sold one of them at least Matt Chip,
thank you very much. He sent me a screenshot of
his purchase. So out the door they go. So the
the online burbo bottles. You're going to draw those tickets
at the Bourbon Barrel Raffle live drawing at Fretboard in

(02:19:30):
Blue Ash on the eighth. Correct, that's right.

Speaker 16 (02:19:34):
Yeah, Well we'll go through one at a time and
just go down the list until they're all gone. And
once once the online are all gone, we're going to
start pulling the the in person. The seven bottles for
the in person and because we did it last year,
we had no one that won online came to the
in person, okay, and we were like, well, we want

(02:19:55):
to make sure that people that show up end up
walking out of here with some bourbon.

Speaker 1 (02:19:59):
So we set.

Speaker 16 (02:20:00):
Aside seven of the bottles that we collected over the
last year, which are really good bottles, and yeah, we're
going to make sure that at least seven people are
walking out with some really nice bottles of bourbon this.

Speaker 1 (02:20:12):
Time, all right, And this works out to people who
buy online as well, because everyone, if you buy a
ticket online and you show up at the event on
the eighth at Fretboard, you're going to get seven tickets
to put in those little individual baskets of seven individual baskets.
So let's say you want to win the four roses basket,
throw all of your tickets into that one, right and

(02:20:32):
or spread them around the entire group there, and everybody
who shows up is going to get a free ticket
for the raffle. And it's open to the public. So
if you don't want to participate in the online raffle,
you still have an option to show up and maybe
buy a veteran of beer. And I wanted to tell
remind people that when you go out and about these
various microbreweries, Matt has established a relationship with quite a

(02:20:54):
few of them. And you have one of those Patriot
Landing flag boxes that they've turned into a donation. So
you put ten bucks in that box and they will
end up getting the veteran of beer and the donation
of Patriots Landing, and that happened. I bring that up
most importantly because next Wednesday is my listener lunch and
we're having at March First Brewery on East Kemper and
they have a donation box there.

Speaker 16 (02:21:15):
I'm told, yeah, they have one in there at the
Cincinnati location in downtown. But I'm planning on I'm planning
on showing up for the listener lunch, so I'll have
some donations on hand. So if there's any veterans there,
I'll make sure that they get the first round on
Vets and.

Speaker 1 (02:21:31):
Bruce fantastic, all right. And every time you buy a
beer at the Bourbon Barrel Raffule Live Drawing, you get
a ticket as well.

Speaker 16 (02:21:39):
So yeah, we're trying to influence people to get tickets man,
So we'll have every time you buy a beer.

Speaker 1 (02:21:46):
We'll give you a ticket. You can drop it in
any of the baskets.

Speaker 16 (02:21:49):
And we're also going to have like a prize wheel there,
so ten dollars of spind you get to spend that thing.
You'll win anywhere from ten to fifty tickets. So you
all day long, man, you can spend that thing as
many times as you want to try to up your
chances to win one of those bottles.

Speaker 1 (02:22:03):
It's gonna be. It's gonna be a good time, man,
I'm sure it is. And proceeds for that we go
to reserving two VIP vets and Bruce veteran tables at
the Concert for a Cause, so and veterans. You can
register online to win a seat and you can bring
a guest if you win. So the remaining proceeds gets
split between Concerts for a Cause and of course Matt
Damaris's Vets for brew Charity now pivoting over to Shay

(02:22:26):
and the Concert for a Cause that's also at Fretboard Brewing.

winning a bottle of bourbon to put a smile on
your face. And Chip, who just bought a ticket, he said,
don't mention I won Wellers last year, So sorry, I
did mention it.

Speaker 16 (02:24:31):
I've already sold like twenty five bottles Man since we've
been on the air.

Speaker 7 (02:24:34):
This is amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:24:35):
See listen, you get a good cause like this together
and they're gonna buy a ticket. It's probably more because
they want to support your cause than because they want
a bottle of bourbon. Although you've got some damn good
bourbons on the list. So I've become a bourbon fan
over the years just because I've encountered some of these
bourbon raffles. It's like, you know, it's pretty good stuff.
So anyhow, I appreciate what you guys are doing throughout

(02:24:57):
the year. I hope you have wildly successful events, and
I want to thank my listening audience for buying up
these tickets. Apparently they're only four hundred and nine left
now and you started out this morning. I think in
the what four hundred and thirty one so handful of
tickets have been sold. They'll be gone by the end
of the day, though. I hope guys keep up the
great work. You got an opportunity on the Morning Show
anytime you guys that have given event going on to

(02:25:18):
spread the word. I'm happy to do it because I
know what great causes these are, so celebrate and enjoy
them and thank the American veteran at the same time.
Take care, guys, good luck with the events.
