Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five a fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Happy Friday, it was a vacation.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
It is got a woo hoo for Friday, and h
Here I am Brian Thomas, wishing everybody very happy Friday.
I hope you got some great plans for the weekend,
and I hope you can stick around all morning. You're
at the fifty five Charrosee Morning Show. Good to see
Joe Strucker, as I always say, where he belongs, Executive
producer Joe Strucker, without whom the show would not go.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Tech Friday with Dave Hatter every Friday at six point thirty.
I always enjoy the segment. I hope you do as well.
And important information we learn from Dave every week. Passenger
in a lift talking with friends and then got a
bizarre tech.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
We'll learn together with Dave what that one's all about?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Wall Street General revealing how to delete yourself from the Internet.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Can you really do that?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'm sure Dave will explain how to what extent you
can get yourself out of there completely. I find it
hard to believe you can actually erase everything, considering this
whole concept of the cloud generically speaking, you know, sort
of once it's out there. The bell of posting something
on Internet or having something out there in the world
cannot be unwrong. I mean, think about it. Someone could

(01:28):
copy and cut and paste your information right now and
they're in personal hard drive, and then you go to
delete yourself from the Internet, that information still out there
on someone's personal hard drive, which could then be reposted
to the Internet.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
This is why we have Dave to explain all the
whys and wherefores on that. And finally, Chinese robot goes
berserk in a factory. I saw video of that. That
was crazy. I think like terminator run amuck. At seven
and five Brigham Account in studio the latest on energy policies,

(01:59):
speaking of which Duke Energy says we're facing a rate hike. Great,
get to that in the moment. Anna Marie Barnett, executive
director of the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Cincinnati Alzheimer's in
Ohio Facts and Figures that we're going to go over
with Anna Marie Barnett. Of course a topic near and
dear to my heart, given my father's issues with Alzheimer's,
which of course led to his passing eight o five

(02:19):
Fast forward Bill Potts with the book up for the Fight,
Fight to Advocate for yourself as you battle cancer.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
AH.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Another topic near and dear to my heart. Maybe not
so dear.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Gary Walton who joins the program at eight forty Cincinnati
Type in Print Museum. You know there's a whole lot
of job opportunities in typing and printing. I was not
aware of that, and it can be rather lucrative. My
mom did a visit to the Type in Print Museum
and a tour and everything. Apparently this is the greater
CINCINNTI area is big for the printing industry. So Gary,

(02:51):
give us all the information, batt and to tell us
about something you might not have even known existed, the
Type in Print Museum, which I didn't know existed until
my mom told me about it.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
There you are five.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
One three seven nine fifty five hundred, Joe, if you
want to open the phone lines up in case anybody
wants to call in. They might want to steer the
direction of the conversation, and I always welcome that. Five
one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
eighty two to three talk Go with Tom five fifty.
If you have an at and T phone and remember
fifty five cars dot com whenever you can't listen live.
Rather interesting conversation with doctor James Thorp, who we've had

(03:23):
on the program before, talking about the evil COVID nineteen
vaccine and the way he boils it down. The pharmaceutical
manufacturers knew full well that it was going to cause
death of fetuses, and it did. He documented that well
back and actually ended up getting thrown out of the
medical practice because he spoke truth to power about COVID nineteen.

(03:44):
Of course, everything he says has been well documented and
actually is true, but nefarious, yes, I asked if this
was sort of maybe just something that was revealed because
they didn't do sufficient testing of the vaccine before it
got rolled out under an emergency use authorization, which were
shield the shield of the pharmaceutical industry from liability for

(04:05):
damages caused by the vaccine made him billions of dollars,
And of course one component of his ire over this
is that it was all about money, But then he
also did boil it down. He said it's about population
control as well. But then I thought he went off
the rails a little bit, and I ask what was

(04:25):
behind this? And he said, Satan, Judge, you find that
rather unusual turn of events there when he went went
off that road. They're down that road, definitely different than
last time he's been on the program before. But he
blamed Satan. I'm not someone who's inclined to blame Satan
people doing nefarious things. People have different stupid philosophies, like

(04:47):
the Malthusians. I know there are people out there who
want to limit the globe's population, but I think they
came up with that on their own. That's just my
personal opinion. But we've all got personal opinions when it
comes to things like well, theology, doctrine, and dogma. Oh look,
new Pope, Pope Leo the fourteenth, let us see, and

(05:11):
in terms of his background, everybody's trying to get a
handle on was this going to be more conservative pope?
Is it's going to be a liberal pope like the
prior pope, Pope Francis, who did an issue formal permission
for Catholic priests to bless the same sex couples, and
that kind of rocked quite a few people in the church,
you know. And from my perspective, I'm a live and

(05:32):
live guy. I don't have any problem with gay marriage. Honestly,
I know the institution of marriage is stabilizing and provides
benefits for both people and the partners and in a
loving relationship.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
You know, if you want to have the state stamp
its issue of.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Sort of acknowledgment because you know, honestly, my perception of
marriage is you know, we didn't have a priest or
a rabbi, or a minister or vicar in front of
our rights when we stood in the hotel lobby of
the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Naples, Florida and got married

(06:12):
by a judge. If you believe in God, then you're
making a pledged before God that you're going to have
this permanence with your spouse. To pledge the God. I mean,
you can pledge the state, or the state can give
it stamp of approval all day long, but you know
that there's no issues or in the state doesn't care
if you get divorced either. The commitment is between you,

(06:35):
your spouse and God.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Right, So.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I think that gay people can make that same commitment
and stand there in a room and pledge a pledge
eternal bliss and loving each other until death.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do us part before God.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
So everybody's got their own ideas on this, and of
course the new Pope has his ideas on this. And
in a twenty twelve addressed to the vicious, then Cardinal
Robert Privos, who's now Pope Leo the fourteenth, accused of
media fostering sympathy for benefits and practices that are odds
with the Gospel. Cited the homosexual lifestyle and alternative families
comprised of same sex partners and their adopted children. So

(07:14):
he's obviously got his thoughts on that, which conflict with
at least Pope Francis's acknowledgment and allowance of Catholic priests
who bless the couples, although provided it's not a right
of marriage, so the right of marriage was not approved
by Pope Francis, but they seem to be. I mean,
Leo seems to be a little bit more conservative on
that one. He shot down a government initiative to promote

(07:37):
gender ideology in schools while he was bishop of Chickalio
in northwestern Peru, so he does not like the promotion
of gender ideology. He said, specifically, the promotion of gender
ideology is confusing and I love this because it seeks
to create genders that don't exist. Props for Pope Leo

(07:57):
on that statement. On abortion, He's totally against abortion. He
shared previously a photograph from a March for Life event
in Chicklio City.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
He used to live in.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Let's defend human life at all times exclamation point quote
from the now. Popolio also does not like euthanasia. Previously
said something about that, So a couple of indications. He
was actually registered as a Republican when he was living
in Chicago, which I thought was interesting. Maybe on the

(08:35):
maybe it was because of the issue of abortion.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Can't climb into the head of Popolo, but registered as
a Republican, although has shared quite a few from what
I read this morning, tweets online or social media posts
online being critical of Donald Trump, most notably in the
area of illegal immigration. I think he believes in open
borders or something along those lines. You know, compassion shared,
compassion for humanity, blah blah blah blah blah. That seems

(09:00):
to me that you know, everybody's bleeding all over themselves
and the idea of compassion and it doesn't have any
understanding of fiscal realities. When it comes to that, and
of course we are struggling here fiscally. Check a look
at our deficit. Will the Republicans endeavor to hash out
this budget reconciliation bill and fighting amongst themselves? Of course,
got details of where that stands right now. And you know,

(09:22):
the Republican Party can sometimes be its own worst enemies.
So different factions than the Republican Party fighting over their
own turf, like the salt Like the salt standard deduction levels.
The Blue State Republicans, for example, are are fighting to
get that raised because the taxes are so damn high
in the Blue states. Hey, fix your own tax situation.
Don't make it so difficult for the residents of your

(09:45):
state like New Jersey and New York and others with
outrageously high tax rates which under the old tax structure
used to be able to deduct, and when SALT came
in and capped it at ten thousand dollars, that really
cause a lot of financial pain for people in Blue state.
So the Republicans are back at the table trying to
argue to raise those just one of some of the

(10:07):
wrinkles that's going on right now in terms of budget reconciliation,
also arguing them over the amount of cuts over the
next ten years. I mean, is two trillion really sufficient?
I would argue now, it's two point three percent of
overall expenditures over ten years, two trillion dollars in cuts.
You can't manage more than that over ten years. That

(10:27):
just irks the hell out of me anyhow. Five one, three, seven,

Speaking of Popolio's stance on gender promotion of gender idea
ideology is confusing because it seeks to create genders that
don't exist. Former Cardinal Robert provost Or Frivos now Popolio

(12:15):
the fourteenth, So I agree with him on that and
along those lines, the Defense Secretary Pete Heggsath announced yesterday
that active duty transgender troops now have thirty days to
voluntarily separate from the military before they are forced out.
This couple of days after the Supreme Court ruled in
favor of the Trump administration restoring Trump's January twenty seventh
executive over directing the Pentagon to discharge service members who

(12:38):
identify as transgender. According to Hegzeth, in accordance with the policy,
now reinstated service members who have a current diagnosis or
history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with gendertors for you
may elect to separate voluntarily, and if they don't, they'll

(12:59):
be moved over removed as involuntary is if necessary. So
two phases here. Ultimately they're going to be kicked out.
This has been litigated and resolved. Actually it was litigated
previously under the first Trumpe administration. Is too one thousand,
approximately one thousand service members that reported self identify as
being diagnosed with genadisphoria according to Pentagon's numbers. That's among

(13:22):
roughly one point three million active duty troops. Apparently, those
troops now have thirty days to lead, or those individuals
have thirty days leave the military voluntarily if on active duty,
sixty days if they're in reserve components. They said, the
Defense Department will proceed with processing for involuntary separations after
those periods. I said, this is the president's agenda, this

(13:44):
is what the American people voted for, and we're going
to continue to reliously pursue it. Again, this had been
previously litigated. It was a similar transgender ban that was
implemented in the first Trump administration that the Supreme Court
upheld in twenty nineteen. Then Biden comes in and scribes
that policy allowing the transgenders to come back into the

(14:06):
military and actually get elevated to some pretty lofty positions.
I'm sure you can remember some of the photographs floating
around on the Internet of admirals. For example, seven transgender
military service members and one who aspired to be a
service member sued this Trump administration. After the ban was
implemented again by Donald Trump, you'd say, well, wait a second,

(14:26):
hasn't this been resolved by prior Supreme Court precedent? In
other words, your lawsuit has no merit. You have filed
something that you know the Supreme Court has already ruled
on and yet here you are fighting against it, and
it's been adjudicated and litigated well. As for this when
they claim it was different. Attorneys for these planets claim
that the ban violet of the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection

(14:48):
clause and claimed the earlier ban lacked the nimous leyden
language of Trump's January twenty seventh band, which was again
upheld by the Supreme Court the other day, so wording
same concept and principles. So it doesn't shock me the
Supreme Court came down the way it did on this
time consistent with its prior decision, although there were three

(15:10):
dissenting justices, and I'm sure you can figure out easily
which ones of those are.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
What else is going on?

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Public Utilities Commission to Ohio advising Duke Energy customers. I'm
one of them, take a look at your utility pills
because they're anticipating a rate increase, which is set for
June first, twenty twenty five. I know, Joe, new standard
service offer rate will be implemented for Duke Energy Ohio
customers who are not part of any government aggregation program

(15:40):
or enrolled with a competitive supplier. You may have been
enrolled in one of those over your own objections. You
may already be enrolled in one because your municipality decided
they were going to join up with an aggregation program.
Now you've got to opt out of it if you
want out of it. We had a call or talk
about that. Seemed a bit outraged over the idea. It
was so difficult to opt out of something that he
never agreed to jump into in the first and I

(16:00):
am sympathetic with that.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
That outrage.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
So apparently, residential rage will increase by nearly two point
five cents per kill a WAT hour taking the killer
water kill a what hour up to ten point one
zero four five PUKO chair at Jennifer French. It's important
for customers to be aware of pricing changes impacting their
electricity bill this summer. The puko's available to assist ohiolands

(16:26):
to understand their electric bill and what options they have
to manage their bills year round. Let them know what
exactly they can do. I mean, there's a whole lot
of wine items on a utility bill and them explaining
to you what each line items all about. Fine, you'll
have a greater understanding for why there are all the

(16:46):
line items there, but in the final analysis they can't.
They're not going to lower the bill. Oh we'll change that.
It says two hundred dollars, we'll make it one hundred
and fifty. What options they have to manage their bills year.
I'm sure it's going to be something like, we'll turn
the thermostat down in the winter and turn it up

(17:06):
in the summer so you don't use as much energy
you're and you do many You do have an option
to select your own energy supplier. Residential customers, they say,
can utilize the price to compare, listen on their monthly utility,
be able to evaluate electricity rates from competitive suppliers, and determinive

(17:29):
switching suppliers can result in savings. That price to Compare
apparently indicates what a customer will pay to their local
utility if they do not switch energy suppliers. So there
you go. It's always going up. It's always going up.
It's always going up. Thank you Joe for putting the
exclamation point on that one.

Speaker 1 (17:48):

of mine just let me know that he has even

(19:33):
billing in his house. It was previously about one hundred
and thirty bucks per month on even billing. He's still
on even billing and he's even built. Just came in
at two ten, a seventy dollars increase. Is that what
we're all facing? What's that? Calculating on a percentage basis, Joe,

(19:56):
you do the division on that one. Let's see what
Tom's got this morning Tom, Welcome to the mor Show.
Happy Friday to you.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
I think that's a little bit above a fifty percent
rate hike? What what?

Speaker 7 (20:09):
What?

Speaker 5 (20:09):
One?

Speaker 8 (20:10):
Two?

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Ten?

Speaker 5 (20:11):
That's that's just that's just quick carpenter math. I mean
that could be wrong.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
No, you're you're in the ballpark at least, I mean,
shee's li Loise man. It's like a property tax increase.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Geez see.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
Now here's here's two subjects. If my wife was up
right now listening, she would be just starting to pace
around and and maybe saying a few choice words.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
School tax levies and the electric bill are the two
things that just get her fired up about as much
as anything else. It's I think the problem we had,
if I'm not mistaken, was we we actually wanted on
the Cold Rain aggregate aggregation thing, and they they opted
us out. They just dropped us from it and didn't

(20:56):
even let us know. And then all of a sudden,
are we get electric bill and like through the roof,
like what what the hell happened? And she had to
make ninety eight phone calls, which she absolutely loves to do.
I bet I'll quote her fixed other people screw ups.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, there's nothing more aggravating than that man.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Getting on the phone and I'm telling you what.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Going through the menus and dealing with the chuckleheads and
and folks that are really not don't have a witsworth
of interest in helping you.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Out, waiting on hold and all that grid stuff.

Speaker 8 (21:27):
You know.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Yeah, Hey, what one's good note for today? Not only
is it Friday. I don't know if I'm allowed to
say a name of a business. There's a pizza place
that opened up while you were in school back in
the day. Uh, is it all right if I mentioned
the name? Yeah, go ahead here here you see Adriaticos.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I remember that.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
Yeah, yeah, they're the contractor is bringing in Adriaticos today.
It's it's pretty much the pizza of choice down here
at U see.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Oh yes, if I remember that, that's one of the
really is it crust?

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Oh yeah, yes, just yeah, straight thirty waight oil?

Speaker 9 (22:05):
Oh my god, it's.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
I remember that.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Like yesterday, man, that was one of the favorites. That
the midnight pizza or even later. You roll on in
from your evening out of the bars or whatever, and
if you were hungry you got Adriatica's. That's great, that's good. Stuff,
good stuff, real quick. A couple of points.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Your whole thing with the church and the things that
they agree on or don't agree on, and what the
pope blesses or doesn't. There is something to be said
for having certain people and certain authorities condone certain behavior,
give their stamp of approval. That's why when it comes

(22:50):
to election times you have all these politicians or I'm
endorsed by these people or I'm endorsed by those people.
And if you think about it like this, if you're
someone who believes in God and someone who believes in
the Bible, and you're you're reading the Bible and you
believe in that God is against this, and God is
against that, and God doesn't want us to do this

(23:13):
and doesn't want us to do that, and you can
get a government entity to approve that behavior which you
believe God is against. That's kind of a big deal
that and that's that's really the the important part of
that whole issue is it's getting the state of the
country or whatever to approve of behavior that is thought

(23:33):
of to be anti God. So that that's that's really
where that issue well, I think has the biggest biggest
impact Again.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
And hold on.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Let me let me dress that real quick, because I
agree with you. But if I read the Bible and
I just interpreted from my perception, I might come up
with different conclusions about what the text means. Now, that's
one thing, and it's but but when when a when
it's incorporated into the formal doctrine of the church, When
a position is you can't be wavering on it. It

(24:04):
is part of our fundamental belief as a Catholic, or
as a Lutheran, or as a Jew, whatever we believe
in this this is our formal teachings. For a minister,
a priest, a pope, or rabbi whatever to do something
that's contrary to his own or her own core teachings
built in part of the principle of the church, that
to me is fundamentally flawed. So you can't sort of

(24:26):
play fast and loose with core tenants of the church
if it's your particular religion's faith. I've never understree it.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Iheartily agree with that. So, first of all, the group,
the entity the church has to come up with those
established rules. That's number one, and no. Number two is
the individuals within that group need to stick with it,
especially the leaders right, So otherwise you don't have consistency
and there goes some more confusion.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Absolutely, I absolutely agree with you. So switch gears real quick.
And this whole thing with the debt. Take take this
example as how crazy this sounds. Let's say you got
a credit card and you know you can't pay it off.
You can, You've got an X amount of dollars on
it for your spending limit, but you know you don't

(25:15):
have any money to pay for it if you put
anything on it. And you go around and you you
just pay for people's stuff. I mean, you're it's very altruistic.
You're being very very kind and giving stuff away, but
you are you're swiping your credit card knowing damgen well
you can't pay for it. But hey, I'm giving money
away to feel I'm giving stuff. I'm buying people stuff.

(25:37):
That's what the government is doing with our money. They're
not using their credit card, they're using our credit card,
and they're swiping it in the name of oh, well,
we're being generous to people and we're caring and we're
having compassion full crap. You're spending us into bankruptcy, is
what you're doing. And the one most guilty of that,
of course, of the Democrats. Now Republicans aren't free from

(25:59):
g boive me, but the Democrats are like Paul, let's
just give everything away. So please, people don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
I have a great name.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Right, have a great weekend, Tom. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Bankruptcy is exactly what will happen. And what happens in bankruptcy, right,
people get ripped off. They're not going to be paid
back the money you borrowed, so they're harmed, and you
are harmed to your credit rating collapses and you can't
take care. That's the end of the gravy train. You're

He stated that he entered the property through the unlocked

the house did not belong to his friend, and he
walked back outside, roaming the nearby area before the deputy
showed up. Victim told the deputy that Roper was completely

We did pretty well here in the greater Cincinnati area,
and that's it just warms my heart to no end.
Back to the stack is stupid. Go to Lawrence, Kansas,
where of course it's Friday. We have a naked man
arrested in the bathroom with Lawrence Gas Station after refusing
to stop pleasuring himself, phrasing, and bit his own dog

(34:46):
as well as a police officer. What hockey player, well
get deliberate penalties? Going back to the Slapshot, you knower
and fewer people are going to understand that joke anymore, Joe.
I got to just point out that movie was like
for what seventy six or seventy five or something. Got

(35:10):
to be an old person having seen Slapshot to get
the deliberate penalty joke. But it always makes me crack
up anyway. Lawrence, Kansas Police Department set about three pm Wednesday,
May seventh, emergency crews call to Casey's General Store with
reports of a trespasser. College reported a homeless man with
a dog refused to leave the business's restroom. First responders
showed up. They found the man naked touching himself. He

(35:31):
refused to stop. Yeah, I think there is a parallel, Joe.
They attempted to wrest him, but he began to fight. Ultimately,
law enforcement officers said the man was tested tazed rather twice,
continued fighting, though eventually placed in handcuffs, but continued to resist.
While still in the cramped bathroom, he bit onto his
dog's ear and neck, refusing to let go. What more

(35:55):
investigators arrived, They say they were able to subdue the
suspect take him to a nearby hospital for evaluation, expected
to be booked into the Douglas County Correctional Facility after
being released from the hospital. Law enforcement officials said multiple
officers sustained injuries in the scuffle, including an officer who
was treated for a bite wound. Canine taking to Lawrence
Humane Society for treatment of minor injuries, as well.

Saint James City. We're back in Florida. Resident of Saint

it for several weeks. Ring door camera is catching it
all on video. Stephanie Ogden lives there. He's been around
a lot, really a lot, a lot of videos. Neighbors

(36:44):
sent Gulf Coast News several videos of the man roaming
around doing different things, riding a bike, trying to open doors,
walk into people's backyards. Neighbors believed that the same man
who Lee County Deputy's arrested in ionn of Lona back
in November is the same guy. Lee County Sheriff's Office

(37:05):
and Gulf Coast News a statement regarding the issue. Detectives
from our third and six precincts, along with an analyst
from Real Time Intelligence Center currently investigating all leads out
of this incident, and as always will leave no stone unturned.
We ourage anyone who sees suspicious activity to see it,
say it, and make the call. Neighbors also fearful, are
now locking their doors when they don't always do that,

fact that his even billing went from one thirty to

increase on that electricity to build. Maybe it's a little
red flag about what you and I are going to
be facing anyway energy policies. With brighamccown I also noted
that it looks like Ontario, Canada is going to be
the first country in the Western world to build and

(39:32):

hundred and eighty two to three taco with pound five
fifty on AT and T funds. Springing from a comment
Tom made about I mentioned some of the parallels and
some of the differences between what we underno and understand

(40:25):
about the new Pope, the first American Pope, which is
in and of itself an amazing thing. You know, we
were globally demonized in the idea that they selected an
American cardinal to elevate to Now Pope Leo the fourteenth
is in and of itself rather amazing, But it seems
to have a more conservative stance than Pope Francis on

(40:47):
a number of issues, although he did share Pope Francis's
ideas and criticisms about the United States and its willingness
to embrace the unwashed masses that flow across our borders
illegally under our law. Francis encouraged us to take in
more and not to stand in opposition to that happening,
which I think ignores the financial and fiscal reality that

(41:08):
had happens, and of course that can lead you to bankruptcy,
as we talked about with Tom when he called in
this morning in the last hour. In bankrupt yourself, you
can't help anyone. And we do have a budget problem,
a serious budget problem here in the United States. And
everybody knows who's paid any attention the weight that the
illegal immigrant community has placed on a variety of cities

(41:28):
to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars. Now, Jesus
didn't advocate stealing your wealth from you. A matter of fact,
wasn't there a parable about him meeting a rich man
who asked, you know, what do I need to do
to follow you as I give up your possessions?

Speaker 1 (41:41):
And was like, okay, I'll go the other way.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
He didn't order the disciples to attack the man and
steal everything from him. It's a question of freedom of choice,
and taxes are taken by force, and to use those
taxes to fulfill a religious obligation. By taking in all
of these illegal immigrants is forcing people to do something
they might not choose to do. On them right, and

(42:07):
there are a whole bunch of people in the United
States of America who do not share Christian philosophy, and
many within the Christian community who do not share the
philosophy that we need to take in every man, woman
and child in the world, because again, that might ruin
our ability to be altruistic and have money to buy choice,
provide for the mission of charity, and to fulfill our
obligations as Christians to help out our fellow brothers and

(42:29):
sisters on this planet. And so I always just rail
against any priest or bishop, or anybody else who's in
front of the congregation saying, hey, we need to vote
for this government program to care for the poor, care
for the homeless, care for the hungry, give medical free
medical care. That's doing exactly. It's inconsistent with Christian's doctrine.
It's the obligation the people in the church or within

(42:51):
the religious community to do it themselves. It's turning over
to government and obligation of the church, which negates the
need for the church, then, doesn't it. So a couple
of reasons there and then that I was led to
make this comment and sort of go through that brief analysis.

(43:14):
I just had all kinds of stream of consciousness ideas
come in my head about the how complicated this is.
But the other day Bill Gates said, Elon Musk is
responsible for killing the world's poorest children because of the
cuts to the US four and A budget USA, the
one that led us to you know, Sesame Street in

(43:36):
Iran or Iraq or wherever it was, to transgender research,
to funding gay lesbian LGBTQ pride events, on and on
and on and on. Yeah, all that's going to solve
the problem of killing the world's poorest.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Chill.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
But he's response for killing them. And here's what Gates said,
wealthy man, he is. The picture of the world's richest
man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one.
I'd love for him to go in and meet the
children that have now been infected with HIV because he
cut that money. Now hold on here, you're telling me,

(44:10):
remote US dollars here in this corner of the world
are responsible for a child somewhere else out of this
vast world of ours, for getting HIV that appsent the
American taxpayer dollars that the world would just somehow collapse
upon itself.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I mean, come on, how.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Did the child get affected with HIV in the first part?
In the first place, there's a big question mark floating around,
And how is the taxpayer dollar from the United States
supposed to stop that from happening? What did they do
before the American taxpayer dollars at some random time funded
by USAID? And I'm sure the number of programs changed
over time, and sometimes they were fund in programs led

(44:50):
to HIV in some remote corner the globe. In some
years they weren't. It was probably a steady flow of
cash coming in at all times. Now, sixty nine year
old Gates yesterday said he also plans to shut of
the Gates Foundation by twenty forty five and give away
two hundred billion dollars. Now note that he'll be eighty

(45:11):
nine years old and twenty forty five, or roughly around them,
he wrote, patting himself on the back. People will say
a lot of things about me when I die, but
I am determined that he died Rich will not be
one of them. There are too many urgent problems to
solve for me to hold on to resources that could
be used to help the people. Well, yeah, certainly, if

(45:31):
you joy the fruits of that bucks over to the
age sixty nine, and if you don't shut out in
the US got the Gates Foundation till twenty forty five.
It sounds to me like you're going to be hanging
onto a huge pile of cash for a pretty darn
long time. And note, does anybody think he's going to
move into a micro house or otherwise taking a setic
vow and live in the woods and maybe walk around

(45:52):
with a bowl looking for rice to be donated to
him like a Buddhist at any time in his life? Well,
how do you define rich Bill Gates. I'm sure there
are people out in the listening audience who would always
look at Bill Gates regardless of how much money he
gave away, as probably living a lifestyle that we would
determine can allows us to easily conclude that he's rich.
It's all a question of relativity Bill Gates, and I

(46:18):
think about the money that the United States has sent
And I don't know where Bill Gates is on gain
of function research, but something tells me he's probably on
the nefarious side of it. We funded gain of function
research in Wuhan Institute. Virology led to the killing of
thousands and thousands of babies in utero. I learned that

(46:40):
yesterday and you listen to the podcast. Talked to the
doctor before, a well respected physician. He always was doctor
James Thorpe, and well, I think he went off on
the rails a little bit towards the tail end of
the conversation, which you can find the podcast for aty
five carecy dot com. I encourage you to listen to it.
I mean, he's well documented in this. Unlike the Pfizer
papers pointed out they knew this this vaccine was a

(47:01):
danger to pregnancies. They knew it was going to cause
problems for women, interrupting menstrual cycles and causing other problems
with the ability to have babies. We funded that Bill Gates. Now,
thankfully this administration has stopped funding for gain of function research.

(47:23):
That doesn't mean it's not going to continue to happen,
which is a frightening reality going on out in the world.
There's a lot of those Wuhan Institutes of virology all
over the planet in different in different countries doing their
own mangala like research. But is it appropriate for the
American taxpayer dollars to be used for something that could

(47:44):
be and turned out to be so unbelievably horrific, unleashing
a virus on the world that wouldn't have existed had
they not created an a laboratory. That's crazy when you
peel back the layers of the onions on these kind
of topic, isn't it? Oh, I got several callers online.
I'm sorry. I looked up and I see that I
will take those calls right after this quick word or

(48:06):
two from our sponsors, including Affordable Imaging Services. I love
the idea of saving thousands of dollars, and I do

If you've got there, ceed talk station, Happy Friday. I'm
going to go over to the phones here, got to
get confirmation. David's happy. It's Friday, David. And with that,
hover the phone, starting with Larry. Larry, welcome to the
morning show. Thanks for calling a Happy Friday.

Speaker 13 (49:29):
Happy Friday. Back to you, sir, Thank you listen listening
to all of the discussions and all of your points.
I agree with completely with regard to it's not exactly
being compassionate with the open borders, the thing that the
previous pope, and it sounds like maybe this pope also

(49:49):
does not acknowledge there's nothing compassionate about an open border
that helps facilitate drug trafficking and human trafficking on a
massive scale.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Yep, good point.

Speaker 13 (50:03):
I mean, make no mistake, Joe Biden was the biggest
human trafficker and drug drug trafficker probably in history. And
it just makes me crazy that pokes in positions of
power influence like the popes don't acknowledge that obvious reality.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
That's a very fair point. Well, anyway, you Larry, thank
you for calling on man. It's a it's a it's
an excellent point. How many children would not have been
turned into child sex workers had we not had open borders.
It created a brand new market to facilitate all that evil,
evil behavior. Let's see what Steve's got. Steve, welcome to

(50:42):
the Morning Show. Thanks for calling up, and have you
Friday to ye?

Speaker 7 (50:44):
Sir, Yeah, thanks for trying to ruin my Friday morning.
I was just enjoying life and everything, and your your
anger bled over in the me and I got angry
and I thought I've got to turn the show off.
Well I did turn it off because I called. I'm
listening on the telephone and I'll turn it back on
after I hang up. I really liked Bill Gates a

(51:07):
lot when he was hiding in shame when it became
known that he was cobarding with Jeffrey Epstein's and now
that he's coming out, you know, he's kind of forgetting
that stuff still might come out. I mean, he may
have paid off enough people where it won't. But I
just find it just priceless that he's so concerned with

(51:29):
the children. By definition, a child is not an adult.
I guess you're an adult at eighteen, you know, give
or take whatever, and if you're younger than eighteen, you
would be underage. Now I'm thinking he knows a little
bit about taking advantage of underage girls boys. I don't

(51:52):
know what his proclivity is, but what a phony. I mean,
you know, and he's got more money than he knows
what to do with. So elon's the bad guy, he's
the good guy. It's like, you know, you're one and
two on how much money you got spend? You know,
pick up the slack, I mean what you know, And

(52:13):
again it's just nonsensical us giveaways that that did nothing
to help anybody. Well, going back to line pockets, but
it's priceless, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
It is?

Speaker 3 (52:23):
But going back to my point, Bill Gates can do
whatever he wants with his money, buy his choice. He
can fund whatever he wants to fund, save the world
with his money, do whatever he thinks is in the
best interest and consistent with his personal philosophy, that is
consistent with Christianity. Your obligation, your money, your choice is
you do what you think is right. It's your choice,
unlike you know Gates, who thinks it's the obligation of

(52:44):
all the American tax payers the shoulder the burden of
funding programs across the globe. That's we don't have any
choice over that. Our money is taking at the rate
that the federal government says they're well, they can take it.
They take it, and then they choose, not us unwere
to spend in what to spend it on. We all
have disagreement about a variety of different things the government
spends money on. But you know what, we don't have
a choice. It's out of our hands. It really bugs

(53:07):
me that way, Bobby, you get to find a word
in this segment before we get to Tech Friday. Welcome back, Bobby.

Speaker 8 (53:12):
Happy Friday. My brother, and Happy Mother's Day. I know
you're gonna be very busy.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Oh yeah, we're all hanging out with Mom this Sunday,
looking forward to it.

Speaker 8 (53:22):
I tell you what, all your segment and everything was
one hundred and ten percent. Right now, people have to
understand you got thirty seven percent of the electorate, that
we're never going to be able to change these progressive minds.
I mean, it doesn't matter, So put them by the wayside.
Those people don't count anyway, you know, look around. They'll
vote for a Democrat no matter what, knowing that he's

(53:44):
a piece of crap, but that doesn't matter. They're still
will vote for Explain that.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
To me, I think he just did a good job
explaining it. You know.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
It's like, listen, you know, you can't talk them off
the ledge of their political philosophy much in the same
way you can convince someone that their religion is wrong
and they need to convert to something that's completely contrary
to the original they believe in. They believe in that
in their hearts and their minds, and they think it's
maybe either a sin or going to result in eternal
damnation or whatever. But trying to convince someone that they
aren't right. Well, when you are, you know of that mind.

(54:19):
You've taken that leap of faith, and like communism is,
it's a leap of faith that it's actually going to
work out this time when it's never ever, ever worked
out before. So different when you compare politics with religion
for a number of reasons. But yeah, you're never going
to convince them to the contrary six twenty five right
now if you have curious the toxation until they get older,

(54:42):
he who is not from the left has no heart.
He who's not from the right as an adult has
no brain. And quite often people grow out of their
religious sort of viewpoint of politics and wake up to
the reality that, oh, I guess I was wrong as
a young person. I'm smarter now I've learned more. Uh,
you can save with the fifteen hundred and fifty dollars

(55:03):
on a new carrier comfort system. For my friends at
Zimmer Heating and Cooling, they are the experts at heating
and cooling. They've been making Cincinnti home safe, efficient, comfortable
for more than seventy five years. Third generation, family owned
Zimmer does a great job and they still represent the
company that invented air conditioning. That's Carrier. So your system
went belly up, it's a great time. I know it's

(55:23):
not ever a great time for the system to go
belly up, but if it did fifteen hundred and fifty
dollars savings, I think that's really enticing. I like saving money,
and Carrier makes a wonderful HVAC system. So call Chris
Zimmer and schedule that appointment. And if you just need servers,
you want a maintenance program, they do it all at

recommendation if you have a business, I know you have computers.
You need to get out of trouble. You need to
know best practices. You need someone to help you with
an issue, you need interest it. According to the Business Curve,

(56:19):
they are the best in the area. So get in
touch on the interustit dot com. Dave Hatter and the
team will help you out. Dave, welcome back, my friend.
Happy Friday to you.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
Thanks Brian, Happy Friday, you and Joe and all your listeners.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Always good to be here, Always good hearing from you.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
And I know we're not talking about Internet of Things
devices today, at least not so much, but I just
I saw this pop up ad on Facebook this morning
and I had to bring it up and Internet of
Things hummingbird feeder. It's got a camera on it and
it posts images to your phone and real time video.
It identifies the species of hummingbird. But of course it

(56:54):
is hooked up to the Internet, and of course I'm
sure that they didn't think about safety when they created it.
So anyway to the growing list of things that we
don't need.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 14 (57:03):
You know, Brian, we could we could talk about the
Internet of Things every single week, and you know, I
could talk about it for the whole segment because I
just want to remind folks I get why things like
this seem cool to people. I really do, especially if
you like humming birds.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
It's powered, it's it's appealing. I'll do that.

Speaker 14 (57:22):
But yeah, I do you really think the people that
made that thought, you know, A, we're technology experts, b
were security experts and see, we're really going to care
about the privacy and security of the people that buy this.
Or do you think they thought, huh, I want to
capitalize on market share, speed to market, and needs of
used because if I make it too hard to use

(57:44):
because it's secure, then my customers won't use it, which
wil direction.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Do you think they went.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Not to dwell on it? But real quick here, I'll
just interjecting. I bet I didn't look it up, but
I guarantee you that thing was made in China and
it could have had nefarious purposes in mind, they actually
intentionally allowed it to be hackable or otherwise allow the
Chinese Communist Party to tap on into it. I don't
know why would they want to look at your hummingbirds,
but there's always that element there, and we're learning about

(58:09):
that more and more every day.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
Brian.

Speaker 14 (58:11):
It's not just that they want to look at your hummingbirds,
it's that that's connected to your network, right, it has
other devices connected to it, like your computer you used
for work, your phone that you use to access your
bank account, and if you know, for what it's worth.
I know this always seems so far fetched to people,
but I would just tell folks go look at the
Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. It's a House committee, right,

(58:36):
and you know they've looked into a lot of this.
They've put out a lot of proclamations. They were one
of the one of the first groups to really kind
of raise the alarm on TikTok, amongst others. But you know,
they just had a press release it might have been
Wednesday about unitary robot Dogs, which is a Chinese robot,

(58:57):
and you know back doors.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
They've warned about all kinds of things.

Speaker 14 (59:00):
And again, yes, I would bet you that's made in China,
and I would bet you, at best it's highly insecure
and at worst it's basically some type of spyware.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Yeah, you can almost guarantee it.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Well, let's see if we can get this in the
next couple of minutes, which we've got left in the
segment chatting with friends in a lift device and then
something creepy happens? What happened to this woman?

Speaker 14 (59:19):
Well, this is you know Internet of things, right, your
car now as a computer with all kinds of sensors
in it. We've talked about this. This woman goes for
a Lyft ride with some friends. I find this super
disturbing by the way she gets back and then she
gets a text that has a transcript of their conversation.
So essentially everything that they said inside this Lift vehicle
was recorded, transcribed and sent to her via text.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Creepy.

Speaker 4 (59:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (59:43):
And I think and whether whether you agree with any
of this or not, the main takeaway for this particular article,
in my mind is that any device that has any
kind of camera or microphone in it could potentially be
surveiling you without your knowledge or consent. And I'm sure

(01:00:05):
when you sign up for the Lift terms of service,
you are giving them permission to do this. Lift has
been somewhat unclear about what's going on here and exactly
how this happened, Like how did this transcript get to her?
Because basically what Lyft has said in response to this
from the reporting I've seen, is that they have a

(01:00:27):
program they've rolled out in some places to record what's
happening inside a vehicle, so that if there's a problem later,
they can, you know, come back and say, oh, well,
you know, here's the audio and or video of it.
So I understand what they're trying to do. But you know, again,
big brothers watching and he likes what he sees. No
matter where you go, you're potentially under this sort of surveillance.

(01:00:49):
And you know, if you're having a sensitive conversation with
someone in a vehicle like this and a shared ride, lift, uber, whatever,
you at least have the possibility that could be recorded,
transcribed and then used for who knows what kind of purpose.
So I can tell you this ensures I won't be
writing in a lift anytime soon. And unless they completely

(01:01:11):
disavow this and say they won't do it, yeah, I found.

Speaker 4 (01:01:16):
It really disturbing.

Speaker 14 (01:01:17):
I encourage people go out read the details for themselves.
I know we'll be out of time here, and I
understand their claim for why they are doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Thanks, but no, thanks, Yeah, but you at least let
people know about it so we can make an informed choice.
That's why we love having your show. Dave Patter six

it dot Com Refund, Dave and the crew Tech Friday
with Dave Hatter pivoting over. Can you really delete yourself
from the Internet?

Speaker 9 (01:03:36):
Day?

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
I mean, I just.

Speaker 14 (01:03:37):
Well, no, let's just be honest. No, you can't entirely
delete yourself from the Internet. I don't believe that that's possible, Bryan.
But what you can do whether you do it mainly
And this is the same conversation I have with people
a lot about identity cheff monitoring and can I do
it myself?

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
Do I need something like LifeLock or fill in the blank?

Speaker 14 (01:03:57):
Because you know, there are competitors out there for LifeLock,
and my answer to them was always, you know, can
you monitor your credit? Can you freeze your credit? Can
you put front alerts on your credit? Can you monitor
all your accounts? Yeah, you can do.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
All of that stuff.

Speaker 14 (01:04:08):
And if you have a very small number of accounts,
you know that's probably somewhat manageable. But if you have
a large number of accounts accounts, can you really manage
it the same way a company that has built technology
to monitor at scale can Well, of course you can't, right,
And do you really have the discipline to monitor those
things all the time? And I this to me, this

(01:04:29):
is the same question. So there are companies out there
like deleat me that have been around for a long time,
and this really speaks to data brokers right, We've talked
about data brokers before. These are companies who are buying
and selling data all the time. They're buying it from
people like Meta and Google and others. They're collating it,
you know, and selling it amongst each other, trying to

(01:04:51):
build ever larger and ever more granular data sets about you,
because that's where all the money is in this stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
Right.

Speaker 14 (01:04:57):
It gets back to the Internet of Things and why
some that stuff is so cheap. They really just want
to collect your data. That's where the money is. And
you know, like one of the articles that talks about this,
and I've tried to tried to explain this to people before,
but they've summarized it nicely. Here in PC world, you
might find loan applications being inexplicably inexplicably rejected, insurance premiums

(01:05:17):
going up, or job search is getting drawn out companies
checking your credit rating is one thing, but these effects
could stem from inaccurate, outdated, or irrelevant information being used
in decision making processes that affect you in real ways.
So this site collects data, that site collects data, your
car collects data. All this stuff is constantly being swapped around.
It's being combined. You know, Brian, I think I've said

(01:05:39):
this to you before, as a guy who spent most
of his career building software dealing with data. Do you
think I ever tried to like import some data or
mix some data together and didn't do it right And
that perhaps somehow some information that may have belonged to
someone else wills now attributed to you. Yes, yes, of
course that's happened. So my point is, all this data

(01:06:00):
is out there about you. New data is being collected,
whether it's you know, you search for something because you
heard a word on TV and you wondered what it
meant and now they think you have a disease or whatever.
All this stuff is out there, and there are companies
claiming to be able to write algorithms that can use
this data to determine would you be a good renter
or a good insurer E or a good employee or whatever.

(01:06:21):
So bottom line is, and all that data is valuable
to bad guys who want to impersonate you, who want
to steal your identity. So to the extent you can
go out and remove it, great, can you do it
on your own? Well, it depends, you know, different laws
or different states have different laws on privacy what you
can request, like you know, right to be forgotten and
so forth. But there are companies like delete me. They're

(01:06:43):
a very well known company that does this. They've been
around for a long time. I'm not endorsing them, but
they're probably the most well known company in this space
where essentially you can sign up, pay a fee, and
rather than you have to go out and try to
find all these data brokers, try to request them to
take your data out of their data set, you can

(01:07:05):
use a company like delete me to try to automate
that process. Now you know it's going to be a
never ending battle. And because even if you can get
rid of a lot of what's out there, well, new
data is constantly being collected about you. That's why a
can you truly remove yourself? No, because not every company
will honor these requests, depends on the state they're in
that sort of.

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
Thing, and be new data is being collected.

Speaker 14 (01:07:26):
But I would suggest to you it's a worthwhile exercise
to look into what would it cost to you something
like to let me and then to use tools.

Speaker 4 (01:07:35):
Google rolled out some new thing. Now you know how
I about.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
Google waiting for the admonishment about that.

Speaker 14 (01:07:42):
They've got a thing called Results about You that kind
of leverages other tools they have, like Google has had
Google Alerts forever. You can sign up for free Google
Alerts and basically interer a phrase that you're interested in
fifty five KRC, Joe Burrow, whatever, and anytime that information
new information and rather shows up in their index, it
will tell you, hey, here's some new information about X.

(01:08:04):
Results about you will do a little bit deeper dive.
It's free now, and it's just showing you what information
is out there about you. It's not necessarily collecting any
new information per se. So there are ways to kind
of get a grasp of what's out there. You know,
Google Alerts is not going to tell you what some
data broker has. But the bottom line is, as they

(01:08:26):
mentioned in this article and others have written about this,
you know again, you have to decide for yourself is
it worth the time and effort that you care enough.
My advice to everyone is always to the extent you
can limit your digital footprint it because when there are
these companies with these algorithms and so forth, unlike a
credit score, where you at least you can understand, hey,
my score is not good, and here's why, and here's

(01:08:48):
what I can do to approve it. You have no
idea what data they have about you, whether it's act
or not. You have no visibility into it and no
way to request or changes or dispute it. So the
less there is better, it's my bottom line. I encourage
people to look into services like to lead me. In
my opinion, they're worthwhile.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Excellent points and you have no idea what they're using
it for. That's the other weird thing about it. That's
that's the creepy element that's in there. You know, do
they have a dossier on you? And to what end
are they using it?

Speaker 4 (01:09:19):
The answers, yes, yes they have it, Yes, what are
they doing with it?

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Are my eyes really? Blue?

(01:09:48):
swapped out, and the cabin air filter, the engine air
filters which were absolutely filthy. There was taken care of it. It
was just a whole bunch of stuff. And I'm willing
to bet that I saved one thousand dollars by taking
it foreign Exchange, and I got a full warranty on
partsing service on everything they did. I got an a

of where your car comes from, if it's a traditionally

Briga McCowan returns in studio off the top of the
Air new Is to talk about the late latest energy
policies and including maybe a commoner two on Duke Energy.
Got a rate increase come in your direction the meantime
back to Dave Hatter. Maximum Overdrive came to mind on
this one. The humanoid robot going on attack. This thing

(01:11:09):
is creepy when you see the video. Uh, it's super creepy, Brian,
I totally agree with you. This This went viral over
the past few days. And yeah, Maximum Overdrive. That's a
classic movie. The truck with the big goblin face on
the front. Yeah, and some some.

Speaker 14 (01:11:27):
Bad acting and I pe river they got all those
guns in the basement of that diner.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
It's it's a classic anyhow. Yeah, bad acting.

Speaker 15 (01:11:35):
Yeah, anyway, the machines become aware and and and and
can operate on their own and ignore the whims and
wills of the humans who created them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
That's kind of what's going on in this thing.

Speaker 14 (01:11:48):
Yeah, it's based off of Stephen King's story the story
is better than the movie, but the movie's got you
remember when the coke machine starts firing cans.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
In the bay?

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
Just got some classics.

Speaker 14 (01:11:58):
Anyway, silly people, people should go see this from themselves. Now,
First off, I have not seen any confirmation that this
is real.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
It looks real.

Speaker 14 (01:12:07):
Could it be CGI, Could it be some kind of
AI videos someone made. Maybe it looks very realistic to
me because of the quality of the video. It looks
like something you'd see from surveillance video in a factory.
And for folks who haven't seen it yet, it's all
over the internet, you'll have no problem finding it. And
again I'll put the links to this stuff in my
show notes in the next.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
Day or so.

Speaker 14 (01:12:29):
But you see what looks to be like a humanoid
robot hanging from some sort of hoister crane, like a
little factory sized crane, and some guys sitting around it
sort of chatting, and then the robot starts to move
a little bit, and then now it's again it's hanging
from a hoist right, which their yeah, I agree, it

(01:12:51):
does seem a little weird. And then then as it moves,
it's like it's arms start to get you know, moving
around more quickly and then anially it's yeah, then eventually
it's flailing around almost like a weapon. Or for anyone
that's ever seen you know, the army has this mine.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
Thing that goes on in front of a tank. It's
like a big roller with chains.

Speaker 14 (01:13:13):
Yeah, and you drive through a field just whipping the
ground that's set off land mines. That's what this thing
looks like. I mean, the arms are flailing out of control.
It's jerking all around. These guys are looking at it
like what the heck, trying to get away from it.
Then eventually they're able to get a hold of the
hoist in the back. Now, there is speculation that this
is video that was leaked from the Unitary robot factory

(01:13:36):
in China. And why I bring that up. You may
recall we talked about Unitrey not long ago. They make
a robot dog that was found to be full of
back doors, so that the Chinese Communist Party or anyone
that had access to those back doors could not only
turn on the cameras and potentially listen to the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
But it's connected to your network because the.

Speaker 14 (01:13:56):
Internet of Things, right, Brian, Yes, sir, And that means
it would be, you know, potentially a segue into your
network or some third party. And then that gets back
to what I mentioned a couple of segments ago, the
Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Now, this is
a press release about the unitary robot dog, not this
humanoid robot in the video. But you'll see where these

(01:14:19):
things connect, right. This is a direct quote from the
press release from this House committee. The fact that PLA
connected robots are operating in US prisons and even with
ourn in army operation should be a wake up call,
said Chairman John Molinar. These machines are not just tools.
There are potential surveillance devices backed by the Chinese Communist Party.
Every single member of the committee, Democrats and Republicans, signed

(01:14:41):
this letter because we all see the risk Beijing is
quietly embedding itself in our critical systems. We must act
now to blacklist unitary before it's too late.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Unquote.

Speaker 14 (01:14:50):
And if that is a unitary robot, let's say, and
whether you know, who knows what's really happening in that video,
but imagine if it had a back door in it,
and when you see the behavior, imagine if suddenly there
were dozens, hundreds thousands, millions of these things, and one
day they hit the button and then suddenly every one
of them just basically becomes a flailing machine running around,

(01:15:13):
flailing on everything it confined.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
Yep, I know it sounds insane.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Go no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (01:15:20):
You said to The back door could be used for surveillance.
The back door could also be used, as you pointed out,
with evs to take them over for the purpose of weaponization.
I'm betting if I had to guess what was going
on here, assuming the video isn't artificial intelligence created as
you noted, qualify that, but it actually happened, I bet
this is one of the co workers who did it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
They maybe backdoor.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
And decided when those guys get close to this thing,
we're going to put it in flail mode just to
freak them out, kind of as a practical joke. But
it's that's quite disturbing. It is totally disturbing. Absolutely, brother.
You get no argument for me on that one, and
you rarely do what do I know except for what
you tell me, and I always pay attention to what
you tell me and heed your advice. We'll deal with

about KRC de talk station. A very happy Friday to you.
Happy to welcome back to the PEABODCRC Morning Show. Wish
she was Instituto, but apparently had a late night out.
We don't know what he was doing out there.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
Brigha McCown from the Hudson Institute, Senior Fellow there, director
of the Initiative on American Energy Security. Hudson dot org
is where you find him online. He has more than
three decades of domestic and foreign policy experience while serving
in multiple positions within an industry, government, and the military,
and he's also a professor at Miami University, teaching graduate
and undergraduate courses in law, policy, and ethics. Welcome back, Brigham.

(01:17:35):
It's always great having you on my program.

Speaker 9 (01:17:38):
Thanks so much. It's great to be with you this morning. Yeah,
late night out.

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
We won't ask you to elaborate on the details, Brigham.
I'm sure it was something that was on the up
and up anyway, energy policy generally. I was happy for them,
and I'm happy to see it that they're rolling out.
But I'm a big fan of these modular, small modular reactors,
the idea of using nuclear power because we don't have
to build a giant three mile island with the giant

(01:18:03):
cooling tower in old nineteen seventies technology. The world's evolved
and nuclear power has evolved as well, and it generates
gazillions of amounts of power on a very small footprint.
Waste issues are not a problem, as we've learned as well.
But Ontario, Canada, they said they've given final approval for
the construction of the very first Western world small modular reactor.

(01:18:27):
How come Ontario is getting to do it and we're not,
Brigha McCall when this seems to me the answer to
everybody's climate change warriors because it doesn't put any carbon.

Speaker 9 (01:18:35):
Yeah, I know it does, doesn't it. And I think
it's partially because you know, our policies, our domestic policies
have been some of our own worst anny's light. For example, Brian,
I got back at one thirty in the morning on
a flight that was supposed to land at Cincinnati at
ten o'clock. Why because air traffic control is outdated. We
use stuff from the sixties and seventies. This is sort

(01:18:58):
of the mindset across all of federal government, including energy
and what was once a very promising nuclear industry in
this country in the sixties and seventies, remember the atomic age.
We were going to do it everywhere everything was atomic.
We allowed ourselves to get mired in government red tape

(01:19:19):
bureaucratic delays to where we're no longer innovative. Other countries
are moving much faster than we are. But the good
news is if there is one is I think we're
starting to figure this out. And Ontario, which has a
more conservative government, it's like, let's do this. Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
Well, and there's I mean in Ohio. I talked to
Vivak Ramaswami about this. He's all in favor of it.
I mean he you know, make make Ohio the energy
generation capital of the United States, and you know, inexpensive
energy draws business and industry. And if we provide that, man,
you just you have to put a fence up to
keep the businesses from wanting to come into the state
of Ohio. I mean, it's it's just smart policy across

(01:20:01):
the board. And again there is no possible or legitimately
underscore that or reason for anyone to argue against this.
It should be embraced by the climate change alarmist because
it doesn't produce anything by way of waste.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
It's just.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
I don't know, as have our elected officials been propagandized
into believing every one of these represents a three mile
island or Cherniobyl like threat.

Speaker 9 (01:20:27):
Well, I think there are a couple different issues at
play Yes in part. First of all, back to your
point on the cost of energy. You know, one of
things that we've explored at Hudson Institute is g why
does manufacturing leave. Well, it leaves because things cost too much,
and certainly wages can be part of that. But the
cost of energy an industrial building and an industrial capacity

(01:20:53):
is the tipping point between companies that make profit and
ie expand and hire more people moanies that can't make it.
And that's what Ohio and parts of the quote russ
Belt had experienced, was the loss of energy, the loss
of the loss of affordable energy. When you don't have

(01:21:13):
affordable energy, you don't put money back into your plans,
you don't put money back into your infrastructure, and it's
sort of a you know, a spiraling decay. And so
where we have cheap electricity, cheap energy, we're seeing industry
move back in well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:31):
And all this on the heels of the new announcement
from this morning Duke Energy is raising customers prices again.
I feel like you told a commission of Ohio announced
that Duke Energy is going to be jump bumping the
price of the killowatt hour by two point five cents
per killowot hour sounds small that it all adds up.

Speaker 9 (01:21:48):
Bring them, Yeah, it does really all add up. And
you know, I hate to say it spent a lot
of times the utility companies they're like, yeah, we'll pass
it off to the consumer. You want to regulate this, fine,
you want us to use when us to use more
expensive energy, it's fine, We'll just passing on to the consumer.
Say we had to do it. The energy company is
the utility companies need to step up and be part

(01:22:11):
of the solution and say you would think, Brian, like,
people want to sell more electricity, right, I mean I'd
want to sell more if I'd make candy bars. I
want to sell more candy bars. But for some reason,
the utility industry just seems content to pass prices along
and not worry about it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
Well, and I noted out in California, it was an
analysis that was done by the Specific Research Research Institute
talking about how unbelievably expensive it is to pursue this
green future out there. The study that they produce so
the financial burden estimates that this green transition is going
to cost Californians, each and every one of them seventeen

(01:22:51):
thousand plus between seventeen thousand and twenty thousand dollars per
family to switch over to just alternative energy sources that
are non carbon producing, and of course none of which
includes the aforementioned small modular reactors I talked about.

Speaker 9 (01:23:07):
Yeah, it is, it is, and uh, you know, you
look at California wholesale electric prices if and crease more
than four fold. It's directly tied to their policies out there. Look,
if you want, if you want to throw up a
solar panel, you want to do windmill, fantastic, But you
get back to nuclear right to your point, if, if,
and assuming, if you're like, golly, carbon is a huge problem.

(01:23:30):
We need to take care of the environment with CO two,
which is only one of numerous greenhouse gases. But for
some reason we're going to fixate on that. Yeah, great,
clear is a zero emission fuel. So if that's your stick,
then you ought to be all over nuclear power.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
Well, and this then nefarious thing lurking behind the scenes.
I'm thoroughly convinced, Brigha McCown is that we did have
small modular reactors, they did produce an abundance of power.
We would expand our domestic production, we would increase our
consumption because inexpensive electricity translates to a better life for
all of us, and that therefore we would not fall
in line with the global alarming alarmists concerns about our

(01:24:11):
overconsumption and are destroying the planet with our you know,
buying up all the resources and consuming them. I mean,
you know, productive country does go through a lot of resources,
and I think that's really the goal here, is to
undermine our productivity and our success here in this and
otherwise free quasi capitalist country.

Speaker 9 (01:24:31):
Absolutely couldn't agree more. And by the way, if also
you're into the climate, you would think you would want
things made in America where we do take environmental protection seriously,
where we can do it by emitting far less harmful
products into the environment than say, I don't know, China, right.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
That's that's the other weird thing about these climate alarmists, Brigham,
is that no one ever points a finger at China,
who regularly continues to build new coal fired power plants.
They don't have an EPA, they're not concerned about the environment,
they don't have strict rules and regulations like we do.
So we're just giving more and more opportunity for the
Chinese to keep their prices down because while they have

(01:25:12):
inexpensive electricity generated by polluting coal, not a word about China,
or rarely of re word. Although China occasionally plays lip
service to wanting to help with dealing with climate chains,
they don't lift a finger to do anything about it.

Speaker 9 (01:25:25):
I think you've got their four to one one, Brian.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
I do, I do well.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
Pause will bring Brigham account Hudson Institute to go online
to Hudson dot org and check that page out bookmarket.
It's got some great material there. Speaking of electricity culling,
my friends have Colored Electric family owned and operated since
nineteen ninety nine, A plus with a better business beer
and they're happy with that. One of the reasons their
honest reputation. That's an A plus there. Provide all facets
of residential electric work between the smallest project. I always

(01:25:52):
use like as an illustration, an outlet install or maybe
a can light or two. They did our whole house
with can lights. I love those things. Maybe up your
media room they'll do that. Maybe wire up your whole
house generator. That did that for me, uh and help
me with the remodeling project in the bathrooms. Most recently
they were over at our house for that, and of
course a wonderful job it was. Price is always right,

(01:26:12):
and they have a ten year wiring warranty. Anything they
do for you comes along with that ten year wiring warranty.
So hire the best. I'd be Cullen Electric Online ce

Deputy Larry Henderson's procession. Chuck Ingram on fifty five krc
the talk station. It's seven eighteen if you've got KRCD
talk station. Brian Thomas with Brigham accown Hudson dot orgs
where you find the Hudson Institute. He is the Senior
Fellow Director of Innovation on American Energy Security. That's another

(01:27:45):
component of energy production is security. Brigham as to have
a secure America, you need a secure grid. And the
other component of this, although away from energy production, is
the idea that our grid isn't necessarily secure from the
China's Communist Party, hackers or other nefarious actors in the
world who could easily, I've come to the understanding easily

(01:28:06):
just shut the grid down, which would result in obvious
chaos for multiple reasons.

Speaker 9 (01:28:13):
Oh, it absolutely would. And I think Brian, that's another
reason why this rush to electrify everything is maybe well
intended by some. But there's nothing wrong with natural gas.
I've got it in my house, most people do have it.
Let's not put all of our eggs in one basket.
There needs to be we call it a Belton suspenders approach.

(01:28:35):
You have to have backups, so you have to have
ways to ensure the stable supply of energy, whether it's
related to natural events or man made events. And you know,
I think that's clear. We've seen the CCP intentionally get
into our electrical, our power, our other energy infrastructure. So

(01:29:00):
far it seems to be probing around. But you know,
these are not good guys. You know your friends, don't
you know, don't come into your house middle of the
night and rummage through your stuff. They are looking for
pain points. They're looking for ways that should a conflict
to come up, or should we tell them they can't
take over Taiwan or they can't do whatever they want

(01:29:20):
to do. Part of that strategy is to figure out
how to make it hurt to us in ways that
they're not traditional type.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
Of warfare that we're used to exactly, well, I keep
pivoting back to California, and you know, they're pushed to
get everybody in an electric vehicle and achieve zero emission
status by some randomly selected year. There was a study
by the University of Southern California that came out noting
that because of all of the refinery shutdowns, which were

(01:29:52):
in large part pushed by all the regulatory costs, burdens,
and obligations the government of California State placed upon these
the refineries, including the litigation that they filed against the
petroleum companies claiming that they're directly responsible for global warming,
a nonsensical legal position, but they said that this researcher
concluded that by the end of the year, regular gas

(01:30:15):
prices could jump from four dollars and eighty two cents,
which was the norm in California as of April this year,
to as high as eight dollars and forty four cents
by the end of next year. That's that's insanity right there.

Speaker 9 (01:30:29):
You know, it is in sanity, especially when if you
go to Los Angeles that is like a car city.
Don't they don't even try to do much in the
way of urban transit there. They're like, we like our
cars well, Los Angeles, And so it's kind of a
bit of a head scratcher for sure, because you know,
this notion of fossil fuel being phased out, it's not

(01:30:51):
going to happen overnight. Even the most optimistic forecast, if
you are really into this, is that the country is
still predominantly fossil fuel based, escially the transportation sector out
past twenty fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:31:03):
But what we do know.

Speaker 9 (01:31:04):
Is powered by the green agenda. In California. There are
a couple of reports out that talk about how California's
electricity rates are almost double the rest of the country
double second highest in the nation, just behind Hawaii, which
is a whole nother story. But from nineteen to twenty three,
which is the latest data, if you look at California's

(01:31:26):
three largest investor owned utilities, SoCal, PGNA, and Sacramento Area,
prices have increased between forty eight and sixty seven percent
for electricity. Some of that some of that is caused
by the wildfires and the fact they have not been
upgrading their infrastructure. They've been putting solar panels everywhere, but

(01:31:50):
it doesn't cost less, it costs a lot more.

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Right, Well, in those programs wouldn't exist but for subsidies,
which are nothing more than taking tax dollars in and
turning them into a subsidy to get people to do
something that they don't want to do and make giving
it the appearance that it's actually affordable. It's just this
circular pleasure fest that goes on with our taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 9 (01:32:10):
I'm so glad, I'm brad, I'm so glad you mentioned that,
because you know, when you talk to people there, they
seem to think that subsidies and tax rebates they're free.
They're free, they don't cost us anything. They don't come
from anywhere. You know, when you hear the term, uh subsidy, right,
the federal government is giving you something and that comes

(01:32:33):
from each and every one of us.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:32:34):
It could be used to reduce the deficit, could be
reused to do other things. But now it's there is
no such thing as a free money tree in the backyard,
or I think we'd probably already have.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
One, well one more thing along the lines of what
they've done in California. But I was kind of view
with with really some some positive perspective and optimism two
forty six to one sixty four vote for a Congression
Review Act resolution to repeal the way that the EPA
granted California for its EV mandate. This just happened last week,

(01:33:04):
so past with bipartisan support, you had thirty five Democrats
joining the Republicans to repeal the EV mandate. Electric vehicles
not the popular things that they were really hoping they
would be, again going back to subsidies. In order to
get people to buy them, you had to incentifize them
with a seventy five hundred dollars tax credit.

Speaker 9 (01:33:23):
Yes, absolutely, And you know what's really important about that
EPA waiver to California was, you know, if you think
about it, it started out as a rational way, like, hey,
there's a federal standard for smog and pollution that comes
out of the tailpipe, and if states wanted a higher level,
they could ask the federal government. Maybe you lived in

(01:33:45):
we remember dirty cloudy cities from when we were younger,
and the federal government said, okay. The problem is it's
a waiver which the federal government can grant. It also
means the federal government can take it away. And what
California has done is they've gotten the buddy on board.
Now there are between eleven and thirteen states that follow
California's emission standards. And then they go to all the

(01:34:08):
auto manufacturers and say, you know what, you might as
well make every car to our standard. And that means
that affects the price of the cars that we buy
here in the Tri State. And California has become the
de facto federal regulator for car emissions. It's crazy and
it's time we pull that back.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
It is at least the House and with bipartisans support,
was able to do that last week. We'll see how
this advances. Brigham Account, it's Hudson dot org. We find
the Hudson and stud Brigham. It's always a pleasure to
talk energy policy with you on the program and I'll
look forward to doing it again down the road. And
hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Speaker 9 (01:34:46):
Thank you so much, and get people towards Charge Conversations
if you'd.

Anna Marie Barnett, the executive director of the Alzheimer Association
Alzheimer's Association of Greater SINSINNI coming up next some alarming
statistics and facts from here in the state of Ohio
on Alzheimer's. Of course, I have a profound connection with
that particular nefarious disease. But first a word for my

(01:35:24):
good friends at Bud Herbert Motors. Picked up my mower
just the other day and it's getting serviced. I'll be
happy to have a sharpened blade, oil change, fully serviced
lawnmower return to me. They're going to drop it back
off to my home next week pick up drop off.
They service what they sell, and in terms of what
they sell, only the finest lawn equipment out there. This
is fifth generation family in and operated business. You will

(01:35:45):
work with a Herbert family member and they're proud of
what they do and they're obviously reputations on the line,
which is why one of the reasons why you get
such great customer service to help you find the perfect
lawn equipment, whether it's you know, from the deer lineup,
attractors and utility tractors, even big stuff. You're out there
with a cup of farm you work with. But Herbert
Motors x Mark Mowers stealing Honda power equipment. Got lots

(01:36:07):
of steel power equipment from Bud Herbert, and I got
my Honda walk behind powered lawnmower from them as well.
After a terrible box store experience. Don't go with the
box store. They don't know what they're talking about. They
don't own the business. But Herbert Motors only sells the best.
They know everything there is to know about what they sell.
And again that's superior customer service. I really appreciate you
selling telling them, Brian said, Hi, when you give them

(01:36:28):
a call, it's five one three five four one thirty
two ninety one. That's five four one thirty two ninety one.

Seven thirty one ififty about KRCD talk station hope you're
having a happy Friday. Something that's not happy a Alzheimer's diagnosis,
Are dealing with a loved one that has Alzheimer's. It's
such a nefarious, nefarious disease. Joining me to talk about
some statistics and they are frightening statistics regarding Alzheimer's here
in the state of Ohio, but also nationally. Anna Marie Barnett,
she's the executive director of Alzheimers Association of Greater Cincinnati

(01:37:59):
alz dot org and then you can find the Cincinnati
chapter at the national website. Anna Marie, Welcome to the
fifty five care Scene Morning show. Let me initially start
by thanking you for what you do at the Alzheimer's Association.

Speaker 16 (01:38:12):
Well, thank you so much for having me today, and
thank you for helping us spread.

Speaker 17 (01:38:16):
The word and bring awareness. This is how it takes,
this is what it's going to take.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
Well, you know, having lived through with my father and
you know, watching my mom struggle caring for him, you know,
you get to the point where you know, the caregiver
is put in a state of medical jeopardy almost as
much as the person with Alzheimer's, because it's really a
twenty four to seven proposition dealing with the person that

(01:38:41):
struggles with Alzheimer's. The care, the cleanup, the trying to
encourage them to eat when they won't eat, and you know,
wanting to wander away. I mean, the problems are just
unlimited and so we ultimately had to put my father
in an Alzheimer's care facility, and that comes with its
unique challenges as well. So I have a very close
connection with and of course this is what killed him ultimately.

(01:39:03):
But he's not alone. I mean, my late father was
not alone. The number of folks in Ohio alone with Alzheimer's,
Anna Marie.

Speaker 17 (01:39:13):
Two hundred and thirty six thousand, two.

Speaker 1 (01:39:15):
Hundred is that number?

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
Is is it growing faster over the years, because I
get a sense that, you know, you hear about.

Speaker 1 (01:39:26):
Oh come on, the word slipping mind. See here.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
I am struggling this morning as well. But the number
of people that would say various diseases seems to be
on the increase. Autism is what I was struggling for.
That's increased dramatically. Has the number of people with Alzheimer's
diagnosis increased over the years?

Speaker 17 (01:39:43):
Unfortunately it has.

Speaker 16 (01:39:45):
Last year in our stats, we reported about nearly six
million Americans with the disease and this year, unfortunately, it's
seven point two million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease, and
that that number does keep increasing. You know, we're seeing
people age, you know, people over the age of sixty five.

Speaker 17 (01:40:01):
They're just growing and growing.

Speaker 16 (01:40:03):
But the other reason we're seeing the increase is people
are getting an early diagnosis. People are talking to their physician.
They want to know if they have the disease. We
found that in our survey this year that one in
nine people that we surveyed said I want to know
if I had Alzheimer's disease. So that is what we need.
We need people to touch with their physicians. We need

(01:40:25):
early diagnosis. And because we know we have some treatments
out there, we know that there's some things that we
can do.

Speaker 17 (01:40:31):
We know that people want.

Speaker 16 (01:40:32):
To be in in part of their care planning, and
that's so so vital and so important for people to
know early that they have this disease or another type
of dementia.

Speaker 3 (01:40:41):
Well, how do they go about diagnosing that you have
Alzheimer's disease or that you are likely to get it.
You don't contract it. It's just part of your genetic makeup,
isn't it.

Speaker 16 (01:40:52):
That's yes, that's true. It is actually a disease. Your
brain is physically dying. When you talk to your physician,
it starts very easily as just a cognitive test. If
the physician see something more, they'll send you for greater testing.
Right now, the testing to determine Alzheimer's disease is either
a PET scan, which is very expensive most insurance doesn't cover,

(01:41:16):
or a spinal tap, which women would know that's not
the most fun thing to do.

Speaker 17 (01:41:21):
A spinal tap is not great.

Speaker 16 (01:41:23):
But the best thing right now is there's actually a
blood biomarker test. So I can you imagine, just go
to your doctor, get your annual exam. While they're running
all your blood for everything else, they can test you
for Alzheimer's disease. And that is incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Well, that is I didn't realize they had gotten down
to as simple as a blood based test.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
Is it one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
Potentially there could be a false positive or false negative
type of tests. I always worry about that, of course,
of course.

Speaker 17 (01:41:52):
Yeah, yeah, of course not of course. Of course.

Speaker 16 (01:41:57):
You know, the blood biomarker test is not widely available
and primary care just yet, but they are using it
and research. I know that our friends that you see
are using it as well, but they're also using the
other testing along with it, just you know, to make
sure that the diagnosis is clear. They are still using
a PET scan or a spinal tap, but the accuracy

(01:42:18):
of the blood biomarker is like ninety eight percent.

Speaker 17 (01:42:21):
It's amazing.

Speaker 16 (01:42:22):
And that's you know, think about all the people in
the rural areas that don't have access to you know, positions,
and they don't have access to hospitals. You know, it's
this is really going to, you know, be a game
changer for us.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Yeah, I just I'm vacillating back and forth in my
head whether I would want to know. You know, everybody
always has their quote unquote senior moments. I think, oh
my god, is this an indicator that maybe on the
onset of Alzheimer's. But getting a definitive yes, you do,
would I don't know. I don't know how that would
upend my life or how I would react to that.
Let's pause, We'll bring Anne Marie Barnett, executive director of the

(01:42:54):
Alzheimer's Association of Greater Cincinnati, got more to talk about it,
more statistics to go over, and more information to learn
about this awful, awful disease. Seven thirty six right now
fifty five cares to the talk station. Hey, it is
Mother's Day weekend tomorrow and Sunday. Mother's Day weekend the
full weekend and you can get mom to shoot for
free at twenty two three on Route forty two between
Mason eleven when she's the second shooter on a rented range.

(01:43:17):
So mom's shooting for free. Maybe spend some time with mom.
Maybe mom needs a firearm, Yeah, the great equalizer. Of course,
if your mom's living alone, it might be a good
thing for her to have a firearm. That's one thing
to think about. But maybe mom likes to shoot. Maybe
mom's interested in adding another firearm to a collection. They
have a huge selection of firearms at twenty two three,
the safest cleanest indoor range around and all lanes are

(01:43:39):
pistol and rifle rated up to and including three ZHO eight,
so you got a full range of availability there. Plus
it's just so clean. Hepa air filtered and the blood
is are the unplode The air is completely filtered every
few minutes. It's just a really, really amazing and clean
gun range service. There couldn't be better. They have a
gunsmith on site and knowledgeable staff of a treat you

(01:44:00):
like family. It's twenty two to three dot com the

They're over on the right shoulder. Now have a traffic

(01:44:58):
moves through Anderson Township. Chuck King Bram on fifty five KRC.
Deep Talk Station.

Speaker 3 (01:45:04):
Seven forty fifty five KRCD Talk Station. Anna Marie Barnett,
executive director Alzheimer's Association with Greater Cincinnati talking Alzheimer's here,
and the statistics are not pretty to look at. More
and more people are being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. You did
mention there is a blood test that you can have
to find out whether or not you are you're going
to get Alzheimer's or have the indication you are. And

(01:45:26):
I expressed, Anna Marie, some concern about knowing that because
you know, how do you live your life knowing the
next day it may start presenting itself, or you may
start having problems. You know what the inevitable's going to be,
because at least as of right now, there's no cure
for it. So first let me address the question for marine.
Is there a name for that blood biomarker test for

(01:45:48):
Alzheimer's or you just ask your physician, Hey, including my
blood results, I want the blood based biomarker test for Alzheimer's.

Speaker 16 (01:45:56):
Sure well, as I mentioned it, it's not widely available
in primary care physicians offices right now.

Speaker 17 (01:46:02):
Most of them are not familiar with it. Yet.

Speaker 16 (01:46:05):
We are actually in the process of creating some more
guidelines around how to use the blood biomarker.

Speaker 17 (01:46:11):
So there are some positions I know that.

Speaker 16 (01:46:13):
Are using it, but they are also using it in
conjunction with other testing just to get an accurate diagnosis.
So you may go to your position and they may say,
I have no idea what.

Speaker 17 (01:46:23):
You're talking about.

Speaker 16 (01:46:24):
So we still a little bit more time before we
can get this widely available in primary care. But if
you go to an hourologist, you can start asking those
questions and they can start getting you a diagnosis much
easier and much sooner.

Speaker 17 (01:46:38):
It you know, it is going to be a game changer.

Speaker 16 (01:46:40):
It's the blood biomarker test and a simple thinger prick,
so it's going to be really pretty amazing.

Speaker 17 (01:46:47):
But there is no name yet.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
Okay, fair enough, And obviously if you aren't seeing a neurologists,
you could get a PCP to refer you to one
or find one that's available in your in your area.
So moving over one of the reasons that would negate
my concern about knowing. It's like, I don't know, one
way or another whether I would want to know about this.
But they are rolling out some treatment options for folks

(01:47:12):
to get ahead of it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:13):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
Do we have any really positive information along the lines
of treatments that's available out there, Amory.

Speaker 16 (01:47:21):
Yes, we actually have two treatments right now that are
showing to slow the profession of the disease down in
the very early stages of the disease in most people.
We actually I know that there are people right here
in Gridter, Cincinnati that are getting that treatment, which is amazing.

Speaker 17 (01:47:37):
They're doing very well.

Speaker 16 (01:47:39):
I actually we had a big GABA last night and
I did talk to some people there last night that.

Speaker 17 (01:47:43):
Were on the treatment. They're doing really well.

Speaker 16 (01:47:46):
And we have one hundred and forty one more treatments
in the pipeline. We have you know, four hundred and
thirty million dollars across the world in fifty six centuries
and eleven hundred projects in research. So we are going
to find a cure. We're gonna find more treatment. And
the best thing I think, one of the things I
really want everyone to know and be aware of is

(01:48:09):
at the end of July, we will be coming out
with results from our US POINTER study that we actually
did here in the United States that we funded.

Speaker 17 (01:48:20):
It is a prevention study.

Speaker 16 (01:48:22):
It is talking about lifestyle change and what you can
do to help prevent Alzheimer's disease. So I cannot wait
for those results. I'm very excited about those. This is
a study that's going on worldwide and the results have
been amazing.

Speaker 17 (01:48:39):
So everybody keeps asking me that. That's a question. Everybody
asked me, how do I prevent? What do I do?

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
What do I do?

Speaker 17 (01:48:45):
Stay tuned, Stay tuned.

Speaker 16 (01:48:46):
We'll have more for you on some lifestyle change and
it's all common sense, right.

Speaker 17 (01:48:51):
But you have to stick with it.

Speaker 16 (01:48:53):
You have to have a just like anything, if you
go on a diet, right, you have to stick with it.

Speaker 17 (01:48:58):
So you have to stick with the life style change.

Speaker 3 (01:49:00):
So this will be dietary changes perhaps, exercise changes perhaps
or maybe exercises like you know, brain exercises, like reading,
is it?

Speaker 1 (01:49:10):
Things along those.

Speaker 17 (01:49:11):
Lines, Yes, all of that, all of that.

Speaker 16 (01:49:14):
So exercise, you know, making sure that you're going out
and interacting with people, that's a huge that's a huge deal.
Exercising your brain. Nutrition, you know, is definitely really really
huge as well. So yes, all of those things will
be coming out, and you know, having science behind lifestyle
change and knowing that that's going to help you in

(01:49:35):
the future.

Speaker 17 (01:49:36):
I think is going to be really another game changer.

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
That we have.

Speaker 3 (01:49:40):
Well, can I at least ask you if you have
any inside baseball on what we are putting into our
bodies that maybe we shouldn't be, that it's connected perhaps
with the higher incidents of Alzheimer's disease.

Speaker 16 (01:49:51):
No, that there's no definitive tests that are saying, yeah,
don't eat this at all. The brain is complicated, right, Yeah,
so it's going to take a little bit more time
to figure out, like, you know what, what is it.
It's going to be a comb It's a combination of things,
you know. And one of the things we're saying with
Alzheimer's disease now is you don't just have Alzheimer's disease,

(01:50:12):
but we're seeing mixed dementia. For example, my mother had
vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, So we're seeing that, you know,
this is a little more complicated even that we originally thought.

Speaker 1 (01:50:24):
So there is a sort of a spectrum for Alzheimer's.

Speaker 16 (01:50:28):
Yeah, yes, yes, it's you know, dementia is are umbrella term, right,
and then under dementia there's all there's different types of
Alzheimer's disease.

Speaker 17 (01:50:38):
There's different types of dementia.

Speaker 16 (01:50:39):
I apologize Alzheimer's is the most common, but yeah, it
starts very early with mild cognitive impairment, you know, early stage,
so there is a progression of the disease that we're
very familiar with. And that's something you know when you
were saying you don't know if you want to know,
knowing just gives you knowledge, right, It gives you the

(01:51:01):
wherewithal to say, Okay, this is what I want you
know in my life, this is my plan. The other
thing that does is it helps the people in your life.
It helps your family know like why is you know,
why is he acting like that? I don't understand. It
explains behavior. It's it's really important to know. And I
would just encourage people if they want to know. You know,

(01:51:21):
it's hard, right, I mean, I know it's a difficult
decision whether or not you want to know. But just
seeing what I've seen and knowing the people that are
in the early stages that are actively involved in their
care planning, I think it's really important for people to
be involved in Now, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:51:37):
You make some good arguments. Anna Marie Barbett executive doctor
all So Alzheimer's Association of greatersins Anti al z dot
org is where you start national chapter and then there's
the chapters that are locally you can find on that website,
and I suppose, Anna Marie, that's a place where people
can stay on top of the release of these new
studies and information that are coming out.

Speaker 16 (01:51:57):
Absolutely, yes, alz dot org slash sin is our local website.

Speaker 17 (01:52:02):
We will definitely have more coming out.

Speaker 16 (01:52:05):
It's actually from our Alzheimer's Association International conference. It's the
largest Alzheimer's research conference in the world. We will have
lots of things coming out from that conference, So stay tuned,
keep an eye on our website, follow us on Facebook.
We will have everything posted on Facebook. It's the best
research conference. I go every year and sometimes it's a

(01:52:25):
little over my head, but you know, they are really
good about.

Speaker 17 (01:52:30):
Tell dumbing it down for us and letting us know,
like this is what this actually means.

Speaker 16 (01:52:34):
So those are the things that we will put out there,
and I really do encourage people to keep an eye
on that.

Speaker 17 (01:52:39):
And make sure you know if you have questions, please
call us locally.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):

organization if you have a charitable contribution in mind, and
that's where we steer the memorial contributions when my father
passed away from the complications or complications of Alzheimer's, So
happy to steer my listeners in that direction. Any little bit,
every little bit accounts in terms of doing this research.
And I appreciate your optimism on the treatments that are

(01:53:04):
coming out and hopefully we'll come out soon. And Marie,
it just would be nice to know if anybody has
any optimism about a treatment that might reverse the the
Alzheimer's progression.

Speaker 4 (01:53:14):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 17 (01:53:16):
I do, I absolutely do.

Speaker 16 (01:53:18):
If if this was around on my mom had a disease,
I would absolutely have made sure that she was, you know,
a part of that treatment. But you know, when you
can get more time, you know what wouldn't you give?
What wouldn't you give for more time.

Speaker 17 (01:53:31):
With your dad?

Speaker 12 (01:53:32):

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
Amen?

Speaker 16 (01:53:33):
Now, this is but this is where we are and
so we just need people to be a part of it,
and you know, help help help us fund the research.

Speaker 17 (01:53:40):
It's that's the vital part of this is the research.

Speaker 16 (01:53:43):
But I don't I do want to stress me, I
really want to stress and make sure everyone knows. So

we are here locally for you with care consultants, with
our free programs and services, everything we have to help

(01:58:43):
TWU Lane University. In addition to being an Ironman triathlete.
He is also a five time cancer survivor and author
of the book we're talking about today, Up for the Fight.
How you to advocate for yourself as you battle cancer
from a five time survivor. Bill, Welcome to the fifty
five KRECE Morning Show. It's a real pleasure to have
you on this morning.

Speaker 18 (01:59:04):
Oh Brian, it's a pleasure to be on your show.

Speaker 7 (01:59:06):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:59:07):
And according to my producer, you and I have something
in common, and that's lymphoma.

Speaker 7 (01:59:13):
Yeah, we do, we do.

Speaker 18 (01:59:15):
Yeah, mine, I had stage three lymphalma in two thousand
and eight and then it came back in twenty fourteen,
twenty nineteen, and twenty and twenty. So we do have
that in common. And by the way, congrats on your
success with that.

Speaker 3 (01:59:31):
Yeah, And I just recently had a CT scan, actually
two back to back. There were several months apart. My
lymph nodes did start growing back. I had retuction treatment
and I was able to keep it at bay for
about three three and a half years. But the scan
revealed that the nodes were growing a little bit. But
I've been given the option of just sort of taking
a weight and see approach and that's currently where I am.

(01:59:51):
So I engaged in some dietary changes. I removed all
the sugar from my diet. I've reduced a lot of
the carbs for my daet cardinal lost lost some weight,
so I'm not sure that's going to keep it at bay.
But I know there's a correlation between sugar and cancer.
Whether it's lymphoma related, don't know, but I was willing
to try that out, and I feel a lot healthier
for it. So next scan taking place in June, and

(02:00:12):
I'm hoping that we don't see any more growth. But
I know there's treatment options out there for me. And
you've obviously been through that which particular spectrum you said,
stage three.

Speaker 18 (02:00:24):
Yeah, I had stage free non Hodgkin's lymphoma, so that's yeah.
I went through retuction as well, and there's recently, as
four years ago, I went through a more harsh treatment
of chemotherapy treatment. So yeah, it's been interesting. My wife
joke said it took me getting cancer five times before
I finally cleaned up my diet, but that that does

(02:00:48):
make a difference. So I am very very strict on
you know, fruits and vegetables. I limitedairy, red meat, alcohol
is limited, and so I lean into as healthy a
diet as I can, like you do. And also I
lean into exercise because for me, I'm trying always to
be ready for when it comes back, and also do

(02:01:10):
everything I can to lengthen the amount of time before
that happens.

Speaker 3 (02:01:14):
Well, you got to be physically fit to do compete
in Iron Man. Come on, Bill, Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 18 (02:01:22):
That was trying to prove to my three kids that
no matter what happens to you in life, if you
get focused and put your mind to it, you can
accomplish anything. And so yeah, I taught them that lesson well,
and a couple of my kids followed in my footsteps
on the triathlon stuff, which is pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (02:01:41):
Well, what motivated you to be so open and share
your cancer journey with and I, of course write the
book up for the Fight?

Speaker 18 (02:01:49):
Yeah, it wasn't my idea. I actually was going through
a chemo er B treatment in September of twenty twenty,
and before that treatment, I'd had surgery to remove a
tumor below my right hip, and when I woke up
from the surgery, Brian, I had an emotional breakdown and
told the nurse that I was done. I wasn't up
for the fight anymore that I knew what was coming.

(02:02:10):
And I'd had a great life and a great career
and a great family, and I was thrown into towel.
So she called in the pastor at Mayo and we
came and talked about it for a while, about an
hour and a half, and she said, Hey, Bill, let's
reconnect with the reasons why you should fight. And I
did a fight for my family, a fight for my friends,
fight for my meeting, for work, and also to fight

(02:02:33):
to make God proud. So I'd reset my mindset and
was really up for the fight. At the end of
this conversation, Brian, she leans into me and goes nos
and noses is I got one more thing for you, Bill?
Like what she goes, I want you to turn your
pain into purpose and write a book to help others.

(02:02:53):
So I thought about it for a few seconds and
said yes. Reached out to a publisher who the CEO
called and said, do we want to do this book?
I'm like why, she goes, I lost one of my
best friends to breast cancer recently, and this is the
book I wish somebody had written for her. So we
want to write a book like What to Expect when
You're Expecting, but for cancer patients, with some stuff thrown

(02:03:15):
in for the friends and family of cancer patients as well,
because it will be meaningful and it will change lives
and hopefully save some lives. And so I wrote it
while I was going through treatment and was really thankful
to get that done and get it out.

Speaker 3 (02:03:30):
Well, you mentioned the loss of hope and thrown in
the towel. How does one you know after you get
a cancer diagnosis, And of course some cancers are far
more aggressive than others. Some are caught far later after metastasization,
you know, stage four cancers and things like that, and
people only learn late in the process that they have
this progressive disease. Obviously, there's going to be a problem

(02:03:50):
finding some hope amid all that gloom and doom? How
does one advocate for oneself? And you know, I've always
turned on. I have great family support. You know, I'm
I married out. I can't kick my coverage with marriage,
and I get inspiration from my wife and for my
family and from my mom, and I try not to
even think about it. I just ignore it like it's

(02:04:11):
no big deal. It's like just part of my life.
But see, I've got I'm surrounded and I also have
good doctors. So what does one do to advocate for
themselves amid all this?

Speaker 18 (02:04:21):
Yeah, I think that's by the way, I kicked my
coverage too with my wife, and I've got that same
family support.

Speaker 9 (02:04:27):
You know.

Speaker 18 (02:04:27):
For me, it's about, you know, treating it. Advocating for
myself is that I have to own my own journey,
meaning I have to be involved and my family has
to be involved in all these decisions from where to go,
to getting second opinions, to doing things like you're doing,
managing your diet and exercise, all those things. So the
way I deal with it is I deal with it
a little bit like it's my job. So it's my

(02:04:49):
job when I'm going through it to get better. Now
my job is to prevent it from coming back and
make sure I'm in good shape when it comes back.
And so a lot of folks look at the health
health care journey as the doctors own it, and it's
really not the case.

Speaker 5 (02:05:04):
It's you own it.

Speaker 18 (02:05:05):
It's your life, and so you have to be really
involved in all those decisions and understand what's happening and
surround yourself with the right team of doctors and the
support that you need, and then it's your journey, not
somebody else's.

Speaker 3 (02:05:19):
Well, how about practical steps that folks can take to
make their treatment days more comfortable. Now, Fortunately, as you
probably know, retuctioning doesn't really come with a whole lot
of side effects, unlike chemo therapy, which has some profoundly
negative side effects. So along the lines is something more
aggressive in terms of treatment and more profound in terms
of side effects chemo therapy. What can folks do to

(02:05:41):
make that make it more comfortable or less painful in
their life?

Speaker 17 (02:05:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (02:05:46):
I think first of all, you've got the emotional and
mental piece, which, as you know, even walking into a retuxentryment,
the emotional side of it. Oh and so and I
actually actually had an antiphlexis reaction to to retuctent time.
So that yeah, so you know how scary that is.
You talk about waking up at what's going on?

Speaker 3 (02:06:05):
Until that happened, Yeah, they had to slow the drip down.
They were trying to get me in and out a
little bit faster, so they up the drip level. And man,
I am telling you that is the weirdest and almost
awful sensation.

Speaker 5 (02:06:15):
Ever, yeah it was.

Speaker 13 (02:06:19):
Yeah, it's pretty tough.

Speaker 18 (02:06:20):
So the way it works for me is, yeah, a
couple of days before treatment, I'm kind of a mess
and I don't talk to anybody and just people just
leave me along. But when I get outside the doors
of the cancer center, my mind switches and now it's
my job to get this done. This is one step
and healing. I also always make sure I have somebody
with me. I also, as you know, it gets cold

(02:06:40):
in there, make sure I got a sweatshirt, ski calf,
baseball calf, got some water to drink.

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
I don't.

Speaker 18 (02:06:46):
The first time I went in Brian, I was so
I was so ignorant. I took my laptop. I was
planning to work, And so now I know if I'm
going in there, just plan to relax the best I
can and get through it. And I count up to
the halfway point I went through. Generally, I'm somewhere around
twelve to fourteen treatments. I'll count up and then when

(02:07:07):
I get to the halfway point, I start counting down.
That helps me from mental side, you know, know how
much progress that I'm making.

Speaker 3 (02:07:15):
Oh, that's interesting way of looking at it, and there
are a lot of support organizations out there. I think
of the I feel so so terribly for someone who's
dealing with this problem. This is cancer diagnosis and being
alone in the world in that regard. I'm blessed to
have a family in Sport, you know, in my own
home to help me deal with the problems associated with cancer,
mental and otherwise. But there are some great support groups

(02:07:37):
out there that can help out and have resources for
you and to interact with folks who are also struggling
like you.

Speaker 18 (02:07:45):
Yeah, it's been remarkable for me. I leaned into the
Leukemia and Phoma Society. I guide people to whatever cancer
it is. There's a national cancer nonprofit in the US
that can provide you support. I leaned into some Facebook
groups for support. I recommend professional therapy if you can
get it. Somebody listen to you. You do want to

(02:08:06):
lean on your family and friends, but you also need
to lean on outside support because there are things that
you can share with them that you might not feel
comfortable with sharing with your family. And you also, as
you did too, Brian, you've got to keep an eye
on the family and make sure that they're okay. So
part of my job and my wife's job was to
keep an eye on the three kids and to make
sure that they were handling it well and to make

(02:08:27):
sure they had the support and resources they need to
go through it too, because the family goes through it
and the friends go through it, not just the patient.

Speaker 3 (02:08:34):
Yeah, there's a certain degree of that. I can understand that.
And well, to the family and others that are struggling
with a loved one's cancer diagnosis, how do they help
and support that love them with maybe how without overwhelming them.
I mean some people are like, oh my god. They
funnel over people and like, oh my god, anything I
can do for you, And sometimes that can be a

(02:08:55):
little bit troubling for the person who's dealing with the
cancer diagnosis.

Speaker 18 (02:09:00):
Yeah, it's true. Sometimes your friends disappear, sometimes they lean
in a little bit too much. And so there's really
a few things. Is Number one, be present when you're
with them. Number two is ask them if there's anything
you can do for them, But not only that, maybe
suggest something that you can do for them and see

(02:09:21):
what they say. I don't know how you were with
people coming over to visit and food and things like that,
but that wasn't really working well for me, I do.
My sense of taste was kind of a mess, and
my sense of smell was kind of a mess, and
so you know, food tasted differently. And the best thing
that my friends have done for me, I'm sure for
you is to say, hey, can I come see you

(02:09:43):
and then just sit there and talk about anything but
the cancer. Let's talk about Let's talk about basketball or
football or baseball, some of my passions. Let's talk about
your family. Let's talk about my family. But let's give
me a break from all the cancer talk, because I
get that enough.

Speaker 3 (02:09:58):
Yeah, And everybody's curious because they love you. They just
want to know if everything's okay. And I get to
ask that question from time to time, and I don't
mind hearing the question. To me, that's just a sign
of love, concern, and support, and that's what you expect
from friends. But I guess my symptoms and my treatments
weren't ever as bad as yours in terms of my
body's reaction to it. And I just really don't even

(02:10:20):
talk about it. Like I said, Bill, It's just part
of my life and I just accept it for what
it is. It's the hand that the cards that God
dealt me and I'm happy to play with them. So
that's where I sort of get my optimism. You know,
it's kind of out of my hands. I just go
with the treatments and just enjoy and embrace the support
that's provided, and of course get a copy of the
book up for the fight. How do you advocate for

(02:10:42):
yourself as you battle cancer? From a five time survivor, Bill,
I can't thank you enough for writing the book for
all of us out here who needs some resources and
guidance to help. And you obviously have been down this
road as a five time cancer survivor. That's truly amazing, Bill,
and congratulations on that. And I wish you all the
health and the best in the world.

Speaker 18 (02:11:03):
Yeah yeah, back at you. And this book has changed
my life in so many profound ways because now I
hear from cancer patients all the time, and I'm able
to mentor them and coach them to their journey. So
I've accidentally become an expert in a lot of other
different types of cancer other than the ones I've had.
So if you need it, if you have anybody that
needs some coaching or whatever, Brian, just reach out.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
Just reach out.

Speaker 4 (02:11:25):
Bill.

Speaker 3 (02:11:25):
It's been a pleasure and congratulations. Obviously a very well
rated book on Amazon. You're almost at a full five
stars across the board and some really positive reviews from
folks in the medical profession. So well done, and thanks
for your time this morning. Bill, It's been a real
pleasure having on the program eight twenty three, the fifty
five KRC, the talk station. Well I knew it was,

(02:11:48):
but confirming it is Friday.

Speaker 2 (02:12:04):
Say it.

Speaker 3 (02:12:10):
In spite of the challenges we face. It can be
depending on where you want to look. Just a real
quick fun fact on observation. I wanted to get in
here in the remaining moments of this particular segment. We're
gonna have either local stories or your phone calls in
the next segment, so feel free to call me up
there's something you want to say. Remember when Robert Her
interviewed Joe Biden about his well classified documents problem. Some

(02:12:32):
of the corvette, some of the house, some of the
rebojo beef, on and on and on, willfully retained is
what Robert Her, then Special Council determined found in seven
different places in several locations. And you remember her stated
he did not call on Biden to be charged with
willfully retaining and disclosing classified materials, which is a violation

(02:12:53):
of law, as Donald Trump because of Biden's diminished mental acuity.
All the while, at the same time, press was running
around talking about how he was sharp as attack. And
it didn't come as a shock to really anybody, I
think to hear that, you know, well, the conclusion that
you weren't going to charge Uncle Joe because of his

(02:13:14):
declining mental acuity, that is a frightening thing that when
you really contemplated in and of itself. But he's running
for reelection and he had to drop out because well,
he was called out on it after what diminish mental
acuity was demonstrated in his debate with Donald Trump, after

(02:13:36):
long several months, if I recall correctly, I think that
interview that Her did with Biden which led him to
that conclusion, when we can't even prosecute this guy, He's
going to come off and come off as a bumbling
old man. No jury would convict him beyond a reasonable doubt.
He doesn't even know he has documents. That's the kind
of the point that Her was making. But that the
press continued to hold him out, and they continued to

(02:13:59):
well run for President of the United States of American
reelect him. It was until later that he dropped out
after that that debate, and they swapped him out with
Kamala Harris, of course without even consulting the Democrat Party members.
So I don't know why this didn't sort of just
jump out at me previously. But the Trump administration is
considering the release of that interview, and why not shouldn't

(02:14:27):
we get get the opportunity to take a look at
that as all the members of the press are coming
out with their own books talking about how they witnessed
the decline of Joe Biden's mental capacity over the years
of plural he was president eight twenty six. Jeff, hang on, brother,
I'll take your call right out of the gate. Folks,

Speaker 3 (02:16:46):
Thirty one to fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Friday.
Before I get through the phone to take jess College.
Just the correction of the record that interview was October
of twenty twenty three. Remember it's that time that special
counsel HERB made the determination that it's the wilful retention
of classified materials. They wouldn't prosecut him because no jury
would convict the old man who's struggling with cognitive problems. Yeah,

(02:17:09):
red flag much. That coupled with all of the insider
information about his cognitive failure over time, the people who
worked with him and for him, representatives who regularly interchanged
and interacted with him, they all had this information. They
all withheld her from you and all the decision making
apparently with the auto pen and uh working the twenty

(02:17:30):
four hours, seven days a week. I don't even think
he knows what was signed on his behalf scary stuff
and who is running the government Jeff, thanks for holding
and indulging me there. Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks
for calling this morning.

Speaker 19 (02:17:45):
Good morning, Brian, as always you enjoy true patriots, Buddy.

Speaker 1 (02:17:49):
I appreciate that what's on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (02:17:51):
Brother h I wish it was just fuzzy.

Speaker 18 (02:17:56):
Bunnies, but it's not.

Speaker 4 (02:17:59):
I ish.

Speaker 19 (02:18:00):
I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the
Republicans are going to stab you know, us and Trump
in the back.

Speaker 17 (02:18:08):
But I just don't. I just don't get it.

Speaker 9 (02:18:11):
I mean, I don't get that.

Speaker 19 (02:18:14):
You know, those goes in there finds hundreds of billions
of dollars that we they're they're just you know, throwing
away of our money and or or keeping it slush funds.
And then we go up, then we're supposed to vote
on it, and then he kills the vote, and what

(02:18:37):
a shock?

Speaker 1 (02:18:38):
Yeah, so right.

Speaker 5 (02:18:40):
I feel that we should never, ever, ever.

Speaker 19 (02:18:47):
From this point on electic speaker that not every single
Democrat wants to crucify.

Speaker 4 (02:18:55):
I mean, we just shouldn't.

Speaker 19 (02:18:56):
I mean, I mean any of them, any speaker that
steps up there.

Speaker 18 (02:19:00):
I don't care how cool he looks or how much
he talks the.

Speaker 10 (02:19:05):
Talk as they all do.

Speaker 19 (02:19:08):
But if every single I shouldn't say democrat, if every
single Liberal is not against him, then we shouldn't want him.
We just shouldn't want it. And and yet and just
and it's the same thing as what Elon and Trump
is now promoting that we all should have used our

(02:19:29):
logic and common sense to figure out anybody that's screaming
about Doge should be looked into. I mean every single
one of them. I mean that we should find out
who is behind all of this waste, all of this corruption.

Speaker 18 (02:19:45):
And and honestly they should go to jail.

Speaker 19 (02:19:48):
But but apparently you know, we can't do that, Jeff,
we we we can't.

Speaker 18 (02:19:53):
We can't put you know, politicians in jail.

Speaker 17 (02:19:56):
We we can't.

Speaker 5 (02:19:58):
You know, we can't be.

Speaker 19 (02:20:00):
Merch our fellow Democrats and Republicans. You know, no, no,
we have to protect each other. We have to sit
up here forever and never ever represent the American people.

Speaker 3 (02:20:12):
Well, mean, you have a good argument on that, and
I can't comprehend someone being against ferreting out this fraud,
waste and abuse. And you're right, there's a big red
flag flying for those who would scream about having some
of this AD dollars cut off. But if you start
following the money, I have a reason why they don't

(02:20:32):
look into such things, because if you follow the money,
you're going to find out that nobody's hands are clean
up in Washington, DC, or at least very few hands
are clean, that all of them have somehow benefited from
the from the money trail ended up back in their lap.

Speaker 1 (02:20:46):
Just my thought.

Speaker 3 (02:20:47):
We're certainly led to conclude something like that in these
modern times, aren't we? Thanks brother, appreciate the call. Help people.
Great weekend. It's Ay thirty five.

Today forty fifty five KRCD talk Station. Happy Friday.

Speaker 3 (02:23:11):
Yeah, moving away from the headier news and talk about
something that I learned a little bit about and I
was unaware of. I'm going to welcome to the fifty
five KRC Morning Show. Gary Walton, who's with the Cincinnati
Type and Print Museum. Gary, it's a real pleasure to
have you on the program. My mom took the tour
of the Print and Type Museum and brought it to
my Attention's like, wow, I didn't even know we had
one of those. And then she starts going on about

(02:23:32):
the Cincinnati having such a really big connection with printing,
this whole concept of the art of printing.

Speaker 1 (02:23:41):
It's good to have you on the program. Gary, Welcome.

Speaker 20 (02:23:44):
Oh, my pleasure to be able to share with Cincinnatians
our motto, which is life revolves around print.

Speaker 3 (02:23:52):
Yes, indeed, And was a Guggenheim who been to the
printing press bringing print to the masses. What an amazing transformation,
transformative moment in history that was. But it is an
art form. It does take skills, and it does take
training to learn how to do this. But the point
that you do, there are career opportunities printing.

Speaker 20 (02:24:17):
Absolutely. Cincinnati has over three hundred printing establishments. When I
say that, people look at me funny, And how would
you know there's three hundred because we mailed our newsletter
to over three hundred printing establishments. There is a huge
shortage of graphic arts people going into print. Most about
its being design, which is really a crowded field. But

(02:24:40):
you need to consider the idea of going into print.
And when you think of print, you're thinking probably the newspapers,
which are not doing very well. But print is way
more than newspapers. And next time you go into a Walmart,
just take a look at all the packaging that they're
There's over three hundred and fifty thousand packages that all
need to produce every day. Your fore matual is printed,
your wallpapers printed, your appliances are printed, the clothing that

(02:25:03):
you wear is printed. And in the future, the new
technology which I want Cincinnati be a leader in is
something called printing electronics, where we actually print electronic circuit boards.
And we can do that right now, print electronic circuit boards,
print parts of batteries, and actually print antennas and other devices.
So in the next five ten years, every electronic device

(02:25:24):
starts in a press room. So and I can say
I want Cincinnati, Ohio to be a leader in print electronics.
And that's one of the things we're really pushing here
at the Cincinnati Tip and Print Museum.

Speaker 3 (02:25:33):
Well, Gary, you just hit upon something that takes me
in a different direction. That's the last thing I was
thinking about. When you talk about printing. I'm thinking about,
you know, the paint and block where you stamp it
in old school methodologies and when you type set and
all that. Of course, a lot of that going the
way of the DODO with modern computer printing, but that

(02:25:53):
it's outside of the realm of just printing things that
you view visually or that you read. I guess you're
talking about a form of three D printing.

Speaker 20 (02:26:03):
No, this is this is people immediately seeing three D printing.
We're talking about traditional presses that every printer in Cincinnati has,
and all the magic.

Speaker 9 (02:26:13):
Is in the ink.

Speaker 20 (02:26:14):
The ink is the magic. The ink is what conducts
the flow of the electricity. Batteries are just liquids of chemicals,
so why can't we print liquid chemicals instead of liquid inks.
So it's just traditional presses, not three D printing, not
anything magical, just traditional presses. Now, the advantage of printing
electronics is huge cost saving. So if you're manufacturing it's

(02:26:34):
a cell phone. For example, I don't know if you noticed,
but the iPhone thirteen sold for one thousand dollars because
I had one I thought off the back of a
truck the other day and cracked it, so I had
to get an iPhone sixteen. The sixteen only cost me
eight hundred dollars. Now why did it drop two hundred
dollars because of print in electronics. Your cell phone at
this present moment, now eighteen percent of its twenty percent

(02:26:56):
is printed.

Speaker 4 (02:26:57):
On a press.

Speaker 20 (02:26:57):
I can show you a picture at the museum where
we we have fifty phones up on a press sheet
and the circuit bowl is printed, the antennamus printed, and
parts of the battery. So this this is the future.
And also the other we the printing industry are going
to save the world again by reducing the use of
fossil fuels. We have samples here at the Museum of
Printed Solar Panels. No we're talking about it is it's

(02:27:20):
a plastic that you have it that we printed and
the costs went from three hundred dollars to twenty dollars.

Speaker 9 (02:27:25):
See, this is going to change everything.

Speaker 20 (02:27:27):
And in the future your whole car will be a
solar panel and people who.

Speaker 9 (02:27:32):
Visit in really cool field. It is.

Speaker 3 (02:27:34):
My mind is blown. I mean I've learned more about
printing here in the last couple of minutes with you,
Gary than I ever thought was even out there. Now
people will learn all about this and when they take
a tour of the of the Type in Print Museum.
This is how my mom stumbled upon it. But you
talk about all this when you do tours.

Speaker 20 (02:27:51):
Yeah, So we want to encourage people to make an appointment,
to go on our website and make an appointment because
this is a working museum. You don't come and just look.
We put an apron on you and you actually physically print,
and so we'll talk about the future of printing and
we'll talk about the past of printing. So when you
leave here, you will become an ambassador for print like
your mom had. Yeah, actually talk to you to reach us.

(02:28:13):
And that's our goal to make everybody ambassadors of print.
And in Cincinnati, you realized one hundred years ago was
the second largest printing center in the world, and we said,
we just have this history. And today twenty twenty five,
we're still very strong. We're the twelfth largest printing center.
There are forty cities in this country that are bigger
than we are, but we do more print. The printing
industry in Cincinnati is still extremely strong.

Speaker 3 (02:28:35):
Eye opening reality going on here. It's Cincinnati Typeprint Museum
dot org and Joe Strecker will add that to my
blog and podcast page if you got cares dot com.
I saw an article on the Wall Street tran was
either today or yesterday talking about the trades and high
school juniors that are you know out there in the world.
There's a lot of companies out there that are interacting

(02:28:57):
with juniors and folks in the shop programs, hiring them
right out of high school with career salary level jobs.
And I would imagine this type of trade would be
a wonderful opportunity for a young person. Do you have
high are you working with high schoolers along those lines
at the Type Print Museum.

Speaker 20 (02:29:17):
Yes, we worked with Cincinnati Public schools and are prating
some of the individuals there. I also go out to
I taught printing for thirty five years of Cincinnati State,
and I'm happy to say that many of my graduates
are making more money than some people with four your degrees.
We had one hundred percent placement of our students when
I was there, Just showing you the need for people

(02:29:40):
going in the printing industry. So people who are making
c's got really good jobs because the demand was so
high and the supply was so low.

Speaker 10 (02:29:47):
And that's the case of all.

Speaker 20 (02:29:49):
Printing cities across the United States. There is a chorte.
Our number one problem is a lack of qualified, willing
workers in our industry, and that's our fault. We did
a bad job of promoting ourselves. And here at cincinn
I time in Print Museum, we're going to change that well.

Speaker 3 (02:30:03):
And I'm glad to be able to help you achieve
that goal. I just I find the whole thing fascinating.
Now do you do his historic type printing? Like going
back to my idea when I was in high school,
or in elementary school you carved a wood block and
then you put different colors and stamped it to make
a graphic design poster.

Speaker 1 (02:30:19):
Does that work still being done there?

Speaker 20 (02:30:22):
Yes, the arts community still enjoys doing with a call
minoleum blocks or ye woodcuts, and so that's being done
and we will be offering in the future classes on that.
But when you come to the museum, the first thing
you're going to see as an authentic Johann Gutenberg printing
press from fourteen fifty five. And Gutenberg's main invention wasn't

(02:30:42):
the press, but it's something called mobile type individual letters
that he could assemble to form words. Send this paragraphs
and actual pages. And we'll go ahead and give you
a little announcement here on June twenty fourth, twenty fifth,
and twenty eighth, we're going to be honoring Gutenberg six
hundred and twenty fifth birthday, and you can come museum
and you can actually print page one of the Book

(02:31:05):
of Genesis the way that he would actually have printed it,
and did the individual be the one actually doing that printing,
not mean you'll be doing it and then take a
copy home.

Speaker 3 (02:31:14):
That sounds like a lot of fun and interesting and
historically informative as well. Type and Print Museum since Anti
Type in Print Museum online it's Cincinnati Type Print Museum

I'll just show up obviously. It's a very busy place.
