Speaker 1 (00:10):
Five o five at fifty five k RC, the talk station.
Happy Friday, Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Some say.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Will to.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
A vacation. You know it's Friday when j Just Trekker
hits the woo hoo button. Thank you, Joe Trecker, Executive
do for the fifty five KRC Morning Show. My name
is Brian Thomas, host of the morning show, and I
always appreciate help here on the morning show for phone calls.
Maybe the topic is burning in the back of your head,
you want to bring it out, Let's talk about it.
Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty two to three
Talk Time five fifty on AT and T phones. Tracker

(00:53):
is going to be taking a couple of days off
early next week. Good for you, Joe, using up the
vacation days. Mine begins Wednesday week and I'll be out
the rest of the week because why not. I love
Thanksgiving and of course got vacation days. And if you
don't smoke them, you don't smoke them. If you got
them with iheard media, use them up or lose them. Joe,
would you prefer a policy that allows you to take

(01:15):
a cash payment in lieu of vacation days that are
not used, or a rollover. Either way, you can probably
take like three months and next year off if they
allow you to roll them over. Joe just saying, don't
bite the hand that feeds you. Oh, why not Tech

(01:36):
Friday a Dayve Hatter Every Friday at six point thirty
we get the pleasure of Dave Hatter's company and warnings
and things we need to pay attention to. Of course,
interest i T is the best in the business. Interest
Ie sponsors. It sponsors the Tech Friday segment today. What
caused the cloud flare outage this past Monday. We're kind
of scratching our head wondering if the empower you America

(01:57):
site got hit by that because it was not working
during that cloud fair outage. We just speculated on that.
We'll find out the extent of what happened. Social media
fueling the fake weight loss, drug boom and deep fake
videos are getting increasingly more realistic. We now have the
new Sora to AI app, which apparently is going to
prevent you from determining what is real and what is fake.

(02:22):
There's nothing good that can come from that. Heart for seniors.
I love heart for seniors. What they're doing for the
seniors out in the community. Patty Scott behind Heart for Seniors,
and she'll be back in studio at seven thirty talk
about what's going on with Hard for Seniors and all
the wonderful benefits they are providing our senior community, for
folks at home that are undersisted living for folks and
folks in assisted living facilities, all kinds of problems, and

(02:45):
Heart for Seniors is working to iron out those problems
and make everyone who's in that situation's life easier, from
the caregiver to the of course person being cared for.
Just love that organization, so happy to give them a
segment here on the fifty five Cares Morning Show. That'll
happen at seven thirty. The return of Congressman David Taylor
got him talking about well Epstein, of course the dominant

(03:07):
topic right now. Interesting if you go out in the
world and read some of the commentaries on whether or
not it's going to be a good thing for us
to get the Epstein documents, there's some interesting points counter
to us actually getting them. Although I'm on the side
of transparency, regardless of what happens. Commercial Motor Vehicle English
Proficiency Act. Should commercial motor vehicle drivers be required to

(03:29):
understand and be at least proficient in English. Sadly, many
of our even our American and K through twelve educated students,
don't even have English proficiency themselves. You have to ask
him about that. I believe that they should be able
to speak English. You know, the road signs here in
the United States of America are not in multiple languages,

(03:50):
so you can have you know, like a Zimbabwean, a
semi tractor trailer driver who gets his commercial vehicle license
in California, for example, where they give them out like
pez and not be able to read the road signs. Hmm,
is it legal to do a U turn on an expressway?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I wonder. Oh, I don't know. There's no sign at
least one that I can read.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
I think that's a pretty damn good idea. David Taylor
on that subject. And plus, now that the government's back
open the Epstein file issues behind this sort of kind
of what is going to happen? I ask Warren Davidson
about that. Just the other day. I was hoping that
they would do something along the lines of some policies,
changes or whatever they can come up with to deal
with medical and the insurance problem. We're facing here in

(04:32):
the United States with medical insurance Obamacare a colossal failure.
Look at what the premiums are, look at what you're
out of pocket, liability is, and responsibility is before insurance
even kicks in. Can you even call it insurance. I'm
on the side of no, something's got to give. Will
there be anything that they come up with which will
provide the American people relief? And then we get meals

(04:53):
on Wheels As we quickly approach Thanksgiving holiday season, we're
gonna be talking about the Bust a Crust campaign. Mike
Cogan and Natalie Cochin going to be in studio for
Meals on Wheels to talk about that in the ways
you and I can help out a lot of people
in need. I understand that, especially when we come up
on Thanksgiving, and you know, I waxed poetic just yesterday
about Thanksgiving what it means to me. And you know,

(05:14):
as much as I loved the food and I always
still love the food, Mom's dressing and gravy and the
turkey and just all that, for me as a child,
it was always just this big, awesome family gathering where
everyone was having fun. You got to see relatives that
you only saw once a year, and you know, I
just have so many great memories from Thanksgiving, and you know, yeah,

(05:36):
the food was a draw, but it was just the
family getting together. So I'm trying to put a positive spinner.
There's a lot of negative news out in the world.
Inflations obviously a real problem for everybody, affordabilities and the
hearts and minds of everybody, and it seems to be
just getting worse and worse. But you know what doesn't
cost anything, spending time with family, trying to make the

(06:00):
most of it, trying to appreciate it while you've got them.
And don't be that guy I mentioned yesterday, that person
who wants to stir the potted division or bring up
some hot button topic in the middle of a joyous celebration.
Let's talk about no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
let's not how about that. How about we just choose

(06:21):
up front to make a family rule today in the
name of peace and harmony and putting a smile on
everyone's face. There will be no politically charged conversations over
the Thanksgiving table. How's that everybody got a rand raise
on that one? Can we all agree? Yes? Wouldn't that
be great my perspective anyway, and that's the way I
intend to present myself. You know, I deal with politics

(06:42):
every single day. Quite often people want to talk about
politics with me in social environments. I don't mind it
for the most part, but if it's going to ruin
my Thanksgiving holiday, I will mind it. So there you've
been warned anyhow. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty
five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk fifty
on AT and T phones. There's your lineup for today.

(07:02):
So I don't know if you got the memo, uh,
the collaboration, the kind of the Sheriff's office. So we
had got Charmie mcguffy pulled out and got out of
her cave. Where has Charmie McGuffey been well. She showed
up yesterday for the first time in quite a while.
Also since at Police Interim Chief Adam Henny and the
State Patrol Colonel Charles Jones together in a joint conference

(07:24):
about reducing crime in the City of Cincinnati, the first
time Charmie McGuffey has spoken directly about the Sheriff's Office's
contributions to safety. The safety initiative that was rolled out
in the aftermath of the violence that we all saw
over the summer, violence that forced the mayor to actually
acknowledge that we have a crime problem in the city,
in spite of the fact he'd been spending months saying
there's nothing to see there. You're imagining crime as a problem. Well,

(07:48):
we are all smarter than that. It took a couple
of really horrific incidents, Sarah Herringer one of them, and
of course Holly in the end of the beatdown, all
on videotape to bring it to the public attention. Sadly,
quite often takes something as tragic as that to do so.
So they all got together and rolled out some new policies,
and yesterday they were sort of doing a I don't
want to call it a post mortem. I'm going to

(08:09):
put a Paul over the whole thing. So what they
say they have been collaborating as they have in the past.
They said, the most recent effort to target specifically areas
in downtown Cincinnati A courted to Police Chief Adam Hanny.
Please please know that we have been doing this probably
as long as I've been in law enforcement here in Cincinnati,
he said, speaking of working in collaboration. This is something

(08:31):
I've talked about with Sheriff Neil many times on the
Sheriff Show. We used to do in the morning show.
He's all about collaboration, so this isn't a new concept.
So apparently, in the past fifteen days, operating as a
targeted collaboration, these three entities city, Police, State and the
Sheriff's Office, McGuffey said, the collaborative agencies gave almost are

(08:52):
you ready, here's your stats? Two hundred warnings to people.
What's your reaction to that? Joe warnings? Anyway, they did
Smike Hans Blicks strong letter to follow, right, Joe boy,

(09:14):
you're really going that's blast from the past kind of
stuff there, Hot Ricks. I'm sorry you threw me off.
McGuffey said. Law enforcement agencies made seven misdemeanor arrests, eight
felony arrests, recovered three stolen vehicles, and recovered six guns.

(09:34):
Apparently in the past fifteen days in this collaborative agreement,
I don't know how many came from her car at least.
I mean, you know, when you leave your car unlocked
and you have firearms in there, that is a target.
I remember the old keep your junk in your trunk campaign.
That was you got to go back to Chief Tom
Striker on that listen. And I know my friends over
on the West Side. There's an article about West Pricele

(09:56):
neighbors fed up with repeated car break ins. And I
noted one of the guys had medication and air pods
stolen from his vehicle overnight, and I feel sorry for
that person. Got to deal with the aftermath. Get you know,
the glass people to come in and fix the glass
on your car. You got to refill your prescription and
buy a new AirPods. Don't leave anything in your car,

(10:21):
anything of value. Just don't do that. Now, someone may
nonetheless break the window of your car and rummage through it,
but end up with nothing and move on to the
next vehicle. It's so easy to break a window in
a car. It takes a fraction of a second. It's
done almost silently. So while you may not be able
to avoid the repairing the window situation, because someone wants

(10:44):
to see if there's anything in your car. If there's
nothing in your car, then you're not going to get
it stolen. I do sound preachy or anything like that,
but it's the simplest solution to minimizing your potential property loss.
So just you know, that's one way of minimizing the damage.
And I'm not quite sure if this is a group
of people that are organized. They've been repeatedly breaking into

(11:06):
cars in these various neighborhoods over on the West Side.
But it's a problem and one that could be minimized
to a certain degree. So anyway, back to the law enforcement,
McGuffey also revealed something that I thought was rather interesting
and a bit frightening. Going back to I mentioned a
moment ago Sarah Herringer, the guy who was on the
ankle bracelet that nonetheless for months he was out and

(11:28):
about ended up stabbing her husband to death in their
apartment and over the rhine. Now that guy was on
probation and an ankle monitor. But McGuffey said, there are
thousands of outstanding warrants in the city in county, thousands. Now,
she did point out that many of them are traffic related,
and she said some of them or many of them
are minor misdemeanor or mistermeanor warrants. And what we have

(11:51):
collectively sat down and talked about with judges. She meant
it mentioned that the three agencies worse speaking with judges,
and that was the initial paragraph in the reporting. Thank
you to Felicia Jordan and Valerie lines Over at WCPO
for the reporting. But I was thinking maybe they sat
down with the judges and encouraged them to issue higher
bonds and it's tougher sentencing. No, they apparently sat down

(12:14):
with the judges to talk about an amnesty program for
these minor misdemeanors. She said, you know type of amnesty day,
a program a week where people who have minor misdemeanor
warrants that are almost or that are more than ten
years old. She said, as many of these are age
and let's get those things cleared up for people without
the consequences of incarceration, without the consequences of fine and

(12:36):
people having to lose money in this arena. Okay, Now,
the point being, if we have an amnesty day, everybody
who's got an outstanding warning field flee to come. Come
on in. We're going to eradicate it. You're not going
to have a record, we're not going to charge you
any fine. We're just going to clean up all these
minor issues. And I just have to go back I
guess her concern is that people with outstanding warrants, even

(12:57):
minor ones, will run away from police and cause bigger
problems as a consequence of running away, because of course
the police are going to run after them, so a
greater police interaction. But the initial charge, the initial warrant
was issued because of a violation of the law. And
if we're going to get rid of fines after a
certain amnesty period, doesn't that potentially encourage people to just

(13:19):
walk away from those Yeah, run the risk of the
outstanding warrant. But if you wait around long enough, amnesty
is going to show up. I don't know. I don't
know if this is an appropriate strategy. Maybe you have
a comment on that. And some of these efforts, they
say because they're doing targeted enforcement in certain neighborhoods, and
that has been announced over and over again. Yeah, we're
going to be in Government Square, we're going to be
targeting the West End, We're going to be targeting areas

(13:41):
and over the Rhine. We're going to put more police
presence in this neighborhood or that neighborhood. And some are
finding a problem with that. Efforts to face criticism residents
and community leaders, saying that there was too much focus
on downtown and over the Rhine, there happened to be
fifty two neighborhoods in the city of Cincinnati. Hey, where's
the love for our neighborhood while you're protecting the urban
hits pictures in the gentrified over the Rhine. They also

(14:04):
accused officials of cherry picking data to highlight success since
anti announcement. They claim overall crime dropped thirty one percent
in July from June in the peak of June, and
it's been steadily declining every month since. Where's that data
come from? And from what neighborhoods? Ask some five nineteen
right now if you have k see the talks dation,

(14:27):
We've got a lot more to talk about. Bottom of
our news. Maybe Tom will call, Maybe you'll call. I'd
love to hear from you. I'll be right back fifty
five KRC dot com. Do you improve this message? Take
you down and thank you lending me for that phenomenal
base riff and for some words they'll get you out

(14:49):
of bed. Maybe, Hey, let me doesn't even think of
a sports betting absolute that one, Joe, do you think
Lemmy's life would have been a different trajectory. Rather than
sit in a bar and play video poker hours and

(15:09):
hours and hours back to back to back, he'd be
sitting at home, staring at his Nazi daggers and playing
our betting sports betting. No, no, he'd still be at
the Rainbow grill, staring at the video machine. Apparently all
right for those who have no idea about Lemmy or
who he is or was, I'm sorry for the rambling.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
There.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
There's a trend they call it jugging. And just on
the heels of that meeting in downtown about the crime
and the break ins that are going over in West
Price Hill and everyplace else, something else you need to
worry about. Article from Fox News, call it's called jugging.
This is the reason you would be paying close attention
to your surroundings if you are buying stuff, if you

(15:50):
are pulling money out of an ATM, if you're a
technician working on an ATM. Apparently those guys have a
lot of concern about him too, because what happens is
these criminals will follow you. You're being the mall, you're
buying some cool stuff. They want that stuff, They follow
you and they steal it from you. Sometimes quite violently.
Jugging is what it's called. But the point being from

(16:11):
the officers that were quoted in this article, the FBI
notably telling you, the shopper or ATM user, look around
for anybody who may appear to be suspicious before approaching
the ATM or getting out of your vehicle in a
parking lot, do a quick survey of the area. I

(16:31):
do this every morning, pulling into the Towers of Kenwood
parking lot. Look three o'clock in the morning. It's dark,
There's like two cars in the entire parking lot. Just
do a look around. Every once in a while, there'll
be someone inside a car in the parking lot, which
is unusual here because hardly anybody's in the building at
that hour. Be prepared. I learned my boy scout lesson.

(16:56):
But so they also urge people to vary their banking habits.
So I think business this might apply to if you
have a regular schedule where you're making deposits or withdraws,
vary that, stay away from traceable routines, and conceal the
cash when leaving the ATM or a store. That sound
information right there, It seems pretty obvious, But let me
just double down by reading it out loud. The officers

(17:18):
urge urge buyers to keep their personal safety at the
forefront of the mind as you buy gifts or use ATMs.
It says around the holiday season, of course, a noticeable
spike in this kind of activity. But at all times
and in all places. You hate to have to live
life looking over your shoulder. But a little bit of
looking over your shoulder may avoid a much, much bigger problem.

(17:40):
Just saying five twenty six right now, local stories or
phone calls either way you want to go, say okay
with me, I'll be right back. Fifty five KRC the
talk station. You're one stop for more sun on Sunday
with a high fifty two forty three degrees right now
after five KRCD talk station five twenty nine coming up

(18:02):
on five thirty on a Friday. Put a smile on
your face for that, allone. It's always something out there
you can smile about. I always smile when I see
Tom's name up on the tall screen five on three, seven,
four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Tom,
welcome back man, Happy Friday, good.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Good morning, sir, I hope you're doing okay?

Speaker 1 (18:22):
You kidding me? What day is it?

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I got a low bar on Friday. Man. The fact
that it is Friday, meaning I don't have to get
up at two thirty tomorrow morning just always puts his
smile on my face.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Tom right right on. I get I get it, I
get it. I'm looking forward to to my next day off.
I got a feeling that it's going to be next Saturday.
So or back Thursday. Yeah, it'll be Thursday.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Better get Thursday off?

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:45):
Where do you get?

Speaker 4 (18:46):
What? What days are you off next week? Because I
know Jae's gone all next.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Oh okay cool?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
So I gotta five I share that a five day weekend.
I got a couple more vacation days use up in
December before the traditional Christmas holiday as well.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
So yeah, you had you had a you had a
four day weekend recently. Now you're gonna get a five
day weekend. I mean somebody might start calling you a slacker.
I don't know, not me. I wouldn't call you that.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
You've a right appreciate that, you know I do. My
contract does allow vacation days and I haven't used all
my vacation time up so far. So the way I
look at it is I'm maybe a harder worker than
than some I don't know, man.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Some people some people. Last Why do you why do
you take days off of because they give it to me,
They're gonna give me a.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
So yeah, everybody needs some time off. You got, you
gotta rest your brand.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
You got there, your your your subject. You're talking about
this morning? Uh you know the list you just read
before the last break there of what we should do
when we go to the ATM or the store or whatever.
The reason why that kind of list has to be
made public is because of the stuff you talked about
before that. The reason why we have to be so

(20:01):
bid nothing only there's gonna be crime. There's gonna be criminals.
But the reason it is the way it is is
because we're letting these people off easy. In fact, if
you give them amnesty, you're basically rewarding them for evading
arrest for as long as they did. Hey, good job,
you went ten years without being arrested for this, here's
your reward. We're gonna let you go. Oh, we just

(20:23):
want to make you come in. Yeah, right, I mean,
what kind of garbage is that. I've told the story
about about the child and the parent in the store
and the child is throwing a fit as a child
want a candy, gum whatever, and in the end the
parent gave in. Well, what did the child learn? If
I keep throwing a fin, I'll get what I want.

(20:44):
If I keep evading the police, I'll get what I want.
If I make a big stink, And if I make
this too much trouble for you to handle, You're going
to give in. And that's that's the message we're sending,
and that that is the wrong message. No, in fact,
what it should be is the more where you fight,
the worst the punishment is going to be. I'm sure
your mom and dad talks to you that, didn't they.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Brian Dude reminded me of a viral video I watched
the other day. It was a woman who was in
court in front of a judge and she just was being,
I mean, absolutely outright belligerent, dropping the F bomb, cursing
at the judge, and the judge like thirty days contempt.
And she kept it up that sixty days, kept it
up ninety days.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
He went up to like six months worth of prison
before they finally hauled her out. That's what should happen.
You know, keep it up, you're gonna get punished more.
Does anybody punish their children anymore? Does anyone say no
to their children anymore?

Speaker 4 (21:37):
I'm just gonna wonder if some dude, some do but
not enough. And to be fair, we all would like leniency.
I don't disagree with that. Look, you come before a judge,
and the judge looks at all the information, looks at
your situation. So you cannot reward people for doing even
more wrong than they've already done. You can't give them

(21:58):
a reward for that. And it's the same way with politics.
You got these elected officials in office, whatever office that
may be, and they're doing stupid stuff, and you keep
re electing them, like all these Democrats on city council,
they keep getting elected. Well, why would they change their behavior?
What wouldn't make them think that, you know what, we

(22:18):
need to start doing this differently. Now they're getting elected
by overwhelming margins, so they're just gonna keep doing the
same thing. So if you want things to change, you
want the behavior of these criminals to change, you have
to change the way you deal with them, you have
to hold them accountable. Same thing for elected officials, you
have to hold them accountable. Don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat.

(22:40):
Have a great weekend and have a great vacation.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Joe, thanks Man, appreciate it. Joe giving on to you
in approval. He is also looking forward to his couple
of days off next week, be Monday and Tuesday. Again.
I'm out Wednesday through the balance of the week next week.
You know who's covering form me on Wednesday yet, Joe,
Not yet. It was kind of a last minute edition.
I looked at my vacation yesterday like, I gotta add
a couple more days onto this list here five thirty five.

(23:06):
That is stupid coming up. Or I'd love to hear
from you if you've got something more important to say.
Five three, seven hundred eighty two three Talk Chimney care
Fire fifty five k RC the talk station. Can you
play John the Fisherman must be five forty on a Friday,
So yeah, you could get a Facebook and some message

(23:29):
from Jeffrey with a countdown five minutes to John the Fisherman.
Smile Joe, Wow, oh it is Friday, so obviously We're

(23:54):
going to start in Florida with a buck naked man.
Is it butt naked or buck now naked? Joe, You're
gonna go with Buck. I've always thought it was buck,
but I've heard people used the term butt naked. Whatever.
We got one of those guys in Florida, which is
a typical Friday story, so over the stack and stupid.

(24:14):
A guy was claiming to be part of a TikTok challenge,
got arrested and of course caught on camera, because everybody
is these days walking around. In the replice report, it
just says it says buck with a K buck naked,
not button naked anyway. This is on Polk County on
the street man. He was driving to work unbroken Errow trail.
He spotted a man walking down the road naked, in

(24:34):
spite of the fact it was only thirty six degrees
outside taking He was captured on of course, the driver's
tesla camera. They got like nine hundred cameras on a tesla.
Sheriff Grady Judd there and Pole County said, you know
what buck naked means. He's not even wearing any socks.
You can be naked and wearing socks but buck naked
means you don't have anything on. Well, there must be

(24:57):
the definition as perceived by Polpe County Sheriff Grady Judge.
The driver called the Sheriff's office. Sheriff Judd said, we
asked him, are you cold not bitch? What are you doing? Well,
it's a TikTok challenge you have. You don't even have
your cell phone. He said, you're really naked when you
don't have your cell phone. So under his definition, if

(25:21):
you're carrying a cell phone, you are no longer buck naked.
You are partially clothed. What sheriff said that when deputies
asked him for his name, the man gave a false
name in wrong address. Sheriff said, so we addressed him
for obvious violations of the wall. He went to the jail,
and after all, he went there without any clothes on.
That's how he arrived at bookend. We said, here he

(25:44):
comes buck naked. Well, since he gave a false name,
do you think they just marked him down as a
man named buck naked? Apparently his real name. Anthony Day
charged with this eardly conduct, resisting officer with evidence and
exposure of sexual organs. Not clear why he was walking
naked down the street because investigator said he did not

(26:06):
have a camera to video the TikTok challenge that he
was claiming he was involved.

Speaker 7 (26:10):
With idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Continue with the feme Along those lines, Joe Strecker got
a DoorDash driver been charged after she was arrested for
recording a partially naked man while making a delivery. Why
are you doing that idea? Let's find out together me
content creator? A content creator? If you have a camera
and you post something on online, you're a content creator.

(26:35):
Is there a college degree for content creator? Joe no
I thought that was a communications degree anyway. Content creator
Olivia Henderson making a delivery to the residence in Oswega,
New York, film the customer passed out with his pants
and underwear around his ankles. This according to The New

(26:56):
York Post. When she got there, the door was wide open.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
Phrasing.

Speaker 1 (27:03):

as is the case every Friday, Tech Friday with Dave Hatta.
This morning, we'll be talking about the cloud flare outage

(34:17):
happened on Monday. I'm not sure if you were impacting
it out. We're going to hear what the cause of
it was, the extent of the damage, if any, and
maybe they got the root causes of its. Social media
apparently fueling what he has described as a fake weight
loss drug boom. And finally, topic number three, deep fake
videos getting increasingly more realistic. There's a new one out

(34:39):
Sora to ai app, So go ahead and make a
fake video. No one'll be able to tell the truth
from the fiction anymore, you know, go to that. I
worry about the future of society most notably, and I
mentioned this before, guilt beyond reasonable doubt in a criminal trial.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
We talked the other day with FOPP president Ken Kober
about the video cameras that they're using. They're upgrading their
video cameras and getting some more technology, all of which
he said is outstanding technology. It's a good thing for
everybody in the city of Cincinnati to benefit from it.
But if you're presenting an officer recorded camera video to
a jury and someone defense counsel can suggest perhaps it's

(35:19):
been altered by artificial intelligence and it may not be real,
just putting a little bit of suspicion in it, because
we've all seen deep fake videos and boy, aren't they
getting to be well imperceptibly. I mean, the blur between
real and fake has just disappeared, reasonable doubt hard for seniors.

(35:42):
Patti Scott returns. I love that organization helping out seniors,
whether they're in an assisted living facility or you are
caring for them at home, which is indeed the direction
most people have to go because assisted living facilities are
so expensive. But regardless where that senior is. We got
the issue with the very frail skin and the tearing
and the bleeding. They got the bandage things for that.
They got the wonderful monitors for incontinent, so your senior

(36:03):
is not sitting and wallowing in their own and you know,
you know, and a whole bunch of technology, and all
of it is extraordinarily affordable. They facilitate your you know,
getting these technology into your hands so you can improve
your life in the life of that person you're caring for.
Awesome what they do every day of the week. So
Patty Scott returns at seven thirty, followed by Congressman David Taller.

(36:27):
We'll talk a little bit about Epstein, what that means
going forward. Looks like JP Morgan was hiding some of
his transactions. Someone suggested one point two billion dollars in
suspicious Epstein transactions. Huh. Yesterday, Senator Ron Wyden called for
an investigation on whether JP Morgan deliberately concealed these suspicious
transactions by Epstein. Huh between twenty two and twenty sixteen.

(36:53):
What they describe as a flurry of almost one point
three billion insuspicious transactions. So there's one more entity or
maybe in digitals, getting caught up in the potential Epscene scandals.
Get ready for it. It's going to be a never ending
flurry of he said, she said, He's guilty, She's guilty. Look,
blah blah blah blah blah. That's after the documents have
come out, So you haven't even seen a full taste

(37:13):
of what we're going to be dealing with. Congressman David
Taylor on that plus, Yes, the Commercial Motor Vehicle English
Proficiency Act. Why would anyone have a problem with requiring
someone to speak English if they're driving a well, extraordinarily
deadly weapon in the form of a semi. I hope
you're already familiar with some of the problems we've encountered

(37:34):
with illegal immigrants driving around with an inability to speak English,
driving in these giant semis and causing massive problems. Finally,
what's next now that the government's back open? Congressman David
Taylor eighth five, followed by meals On Wheels. We're going
to help out this holiday season Mike Cogan and Natalie
Cooking of meals On, Will's going to be in studio

the Bust a Crust campaign. Love to hear from you
five one, three, seven, four nine, five, five hundred, eight
hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
on at and T fund. You know, and since it
is Tech Friday, and since the stack is stupid involved
yet even more. It's a weekly, if not daily, occurrence
of people in authority positions, most notably teachers, and alarmingly

(38:15):
for me, the number of the increased number of young
female teachers molesting eleven year olds and twelve year olds.
These are your children, They're in your schools. In your churches,
in your organizations. What the hell is wrong with people?
Of course, social media largely behind a lot of this.
I mean, a day doesn't go by the teachers nude pictures,

(38:37):
they exchanged, nude pictures, they engage in sexual activity recorded
on What the hell? There are eight point two billion
people in the world, And I'm thinking of Dave Chappelle's
Ain't No Flag for Us comment about his sexual proclivities
and feeling marginalized because he has a weird sexual proclivity
that no one embraces or celebrates or supports in the

(38:58):
point of a in the name of a flag. There
are some weird, weird people. And your child is connected
effectively to all eight point two billion people in the world.
And I know that not everybody's connected to the Internet,
but hey, do a fraction of it. Yesterday, FBI director
Cash Bettel giving you get another warning. Parents, get your

(39:20):
kids social media connections and find out who they are
communicating with, what are they doing, what are they saying,
who's talking to them. They're busy taking The FBI is
busy taking down what they call the seven to six
four network, described as an organization that grooms and courses
miners on gaming and social media platforms. The question is

(39:41):
your child using a gaming or social media platform? I
think the answer is probably yes. They have hundreds of
active investigations into these criminal acts. Group described as Heinous Betel,
urging parents to monitor their chill drun's Internet activity more
closely to limit the opportunities these perverts have to get

(40:04):
in touch with your kids and hurt them. And I
use the word hurt advisedly because some of these crazy, sick, twisted,
perverted individuals get off on your children hurting themselves. Network
investigators say began in twenty twenty one with a Texas
teenager linked to a broader extremist online ecosystem that pushes

(40:29):
children towards self harm, animal abuse, sexual exploitation, and even suicide.
They say they're working day and night to destroy the network.
Prosecutors in Arizona allege one at pervert targeted at least
nine victims between the ages of eleven and fifteen, child

(40:52):
sexual abuse, material production distribution, cyber stalking, animal crushing content,
as well as conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.
Turning General Pamela Bondi said that the man's alleged crimes
are unthinkably depraved and reflect the horrific danger of seven

(41:13):
sixty four. If convicted, it'll face severe consequences of work
to dismantle the evil network. Again, she also urging parents
to remain vigilant about the threats of their children face online. No,
not my child. My child's equipped to deal with this
kind of stuff. Really. Federal officials warned that this seven
sixty four, And you know, I got to point out
that maybe stating the obvious seven sixty four, I don't

(41:35):
know how affiliated or loosely affiliated this organization is, if
it even is an organization that has like communication among
the members of seven sixty four. But even if it isn't,
it's just one organization of like the I go back
to the eight point two billion people on the planet.
If there's a pervert out there, that pervert is going
to utilize all the materials in technology available to him

(41:58):
or her, as we find out more and more often,
to find your children and use them for their individual
sick purposes. Recent advisories FBI describe predators who build trust
or romantic grooming relationships before escalating too extortion like threats
to share images, threats to swat a victim's home, publicly

(42:22):
docks them. And you can't understate the element of doxing.
Remember when you were going through let's say the puberty years,
and how tough it was. You got social interactions, clicks
that get formed in schools. I feel left out. I'm
not part of the in crowd. It's tough enough to
be a kid playing alone. But when you got social
media out there, the idea of doxing and to expose

(42:43):
or to say, I'm going to go online, I'm going
to say all this stuff about you. I'm going to
make photos with AI showing naked or and compromise physicians
if you don't do what I want. The psychological weight
of the threat of you're already stressed out child of
that age. I cannot imagine bad enough growing up without

(43:05):
digital technology. He said. Some of the violent actions or
actors in these online networks are motivated by a desire
to cause fear in chaos through their criminal conduct. However,
the FBI said motivations are here's my point on eight
point two billion people, highly individualized, saying some threat actors

(43:30):
may be engaging in criminal activity solely for sexual gratification,
social status, or a sense of belonging, or for a
mix of other reasons that may not be ideologically motivated
or even sane. From an individual who's, Sayn's perspective, what
would drive an adult human being to want to see
a child harm him hers herself? These are sick, twisted

(43:54):
people who are in your kid's phone. They say, this
seven sixty four group thrived by infiltrating online spaces where
are children already gathering, especially the platforms that appeal to
the youth. They also specifically identified, based on recent investigations

(44:17):
in lawsuits, Roadblocks and Discord described as among the platforms
where many victims have first encountered the seven sixty four
linked predators. Your kids on Roadblocks or Discord? Are you
using them? Welcome to the vehicle that puts them in
touch with your children? What's your child doing right now now?

(45:12):
about those things along really good terms six twenty one
right now, five and three seven fifty two to three talk
among the multitude of well articles I gotten topics of conversation,
a little anecdotal relationship with this one. I wanted to
mention this because when we were preparing for our weekend
to go visit the Bourbon Distillery, and we had this

(45:34):
home that we it was a charity auction, thanks all
the six of us to two other couples and my
wife and I we allocated responsibility for meals, and Paul
Att and I had responsibility for lunch. So we bought ham, turkey, rust, beef,
and salami. And that's where I kind of fell off

(45:55):
my dietary restrictions. I've really been trying to focus on
eating natural, healthy foods. Ultra process foods apparently a massive,
massive problem. Fox News reporting on this. Apparently there's a
series of papers that were released this week by The
Lancet and they reviewed multiple studies forty three public health
and nutrition experts led by some huhas at big universities,

(46:15):
using what they call the Nova system, which identifies what
qualifies as ultra processed food foods made largely from ingredients
rarely used in home cooking, such as refined starches, protein isolates,
modified oils, additives, flavors, colors and multifiers, artificial sweeteners, et cetera,
et cetera. Examples soft drinks, energy drinks, cookies, chips, flavored yogurts,

(46:38):
instant noodles, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, packaged desserts, diet shakes, bars.
The list goes on and on. Problem sugar fat content.
Also that they are engineered to well get you to
become addicted to the much in the same way drugs
find drugs will make you addicted. The taste in the
flavor has been engineered to make you like desire, are

(47:00):
even more triggering compulsive eating, they say, exactly like tobacco use.
So you know regulation is coming based upon the research
on this, whether you want regulation or not. At least,
I like JFK Junior for bringing this kind of thing
to America's attention and this kind of story being reported
because of the new focus on our diets thanks to
RFK Junior's work. In large part, the review linked ultra

(47:23):
processed food diets to a greater risk of are you
ready obesity, diabetes, heart, kidney, and gut disease, depression, early death, dementia,
also a multitude of additional calories people are eating because
of ultra processed diets, which tend to pack in the
calories upfs, they say now make up more than half

(47:44):
of the calories consumed in the United States also United Kingdom,
in the same realm, more than half. Doctor Memnent Oz,
he's the administrator at the Center for Medicare or Medicaid Services,
said it's sixty percent of our diet is ultra processed foods.
And going back to my point, salami and other deli

(48:06):
needs men that Oz said are some of the worst offenders.
And I did look at the labels, and if you
look at the labels for the ham, the roast beef,
and the turkey, fairly innocuous. Yes, there's a couple of
one additional ingredient there that I would say makes it
not fully natural, but beyond that pretty much vanilla kind
of stuff. Go ahead and read the salami label and

(48:26):
the ingredients in the salami, which I literally did yesterday
after reading this article. Yeah, you might not want to
eat it. So one of the papers they released recommended
here we go a government playbook to cut back on
our eating upf's warning labels.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Here you go.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
You ready, taxes, limits on marketing to kids, and healthier
school meals, better access to affordable healthy food. Latter seems
to be the most complicated issue. But see you pivot
over to start calling them just like tobacco. They're addictive,
they're dangerous, they cause all these health problems. You know
what's next. I would argue, we all have it within

(49:05):
our control to read labels and try to find something
that's better for us, and maybe we should start doing that.
We can avoid the well food Nazis coming our way
with all kinds of rules, regulations, bands, et cetera. Six

Speaker 3 (50:06):
You get all three at once, amen.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
I just read an article about this pervert crime network
seven six four network the FBI is busily dealing with.
There's all kinds of crazy people out there trying to
harm children and for whatever reason, they find some like
perverted glee and seeing young people, you know, mutilate themselves
or crush animals, I mean, just twisted stuff that's sick.
And roadblocks was one of the ones that I mentioned.

(50:31):
Is apparently a real problem. I don't know what it is.
But after I mentioned roadblocks and the other one, I
had a buddy who's in the know on this kind
of stuff, and he had specifically said mention roadblocks, and
I hadn't mentioned it. He followed up, I don't know
anything about rodblocks, but apparently that is a terrible terrible
place for young people to be. And I know this
isn't on your list. We're gonna talk about cloud flare outage,
but I just I had had to bring it up date.

Speaker 9 (50:54):
Well, you know, it's funny you mentioned that, Brian, so
Roadblocks is a video game. It's very propuler and you
would have no reason to notice since you live in Ohio.
But the Kentucky Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against
Roadblocks for some of the issues you've mentioned. Here's a
headline for you. Kentucky ag calls Roadblocks a quote playground

(51:14):
for predators unquote and lawsuit against the gaming platform. Now
this this article is from October sixth of this year,
and you know, just so yeah, I know where this
wasn't originally on our list, but I think it's worth
talking about, especially for parents, our grandparents out there who
have kids.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
That's who I was trying to talk to in the
last segment, man, because you know, we are the ones
that have control. We can stand up and say no,
we can look and find out what our children are
looking at.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
So here's what the article says.

Speaker 9 (51:43):
Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has seen the gaming and
social media platform and a lawsuit filed Monday. Again, this
article is from early in October. Coleman accuses Roadblocks of
knowingly creating a playground for predators to distribute child sex
abuse material and grooveen child victims. It says nearly two
thirds of all kids in the US between the ages
of nine and twelve play games on the platform.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Quote.

Speaker 9 (52:04):
Public reports have shown roeblocks has become an environment for
predators and other bad actors, including so called assassination simulators
bowing the horrific killing of Charlie Kirk, as well as
with extremists extortion groups that have extorted, threatened, and even
conspired to kill children as young as eight. According to
Attorney General Coleman's news release, that's what they're alleging. Yeah,

(52:26):
so again, I'm not that familiar with it myself. I
don't play it, none of my kids. You know, they're
way too old for this sort of thing at this point.
You know, I can only go off what I've read
and it's been reported, But I will say this, Brian,
any platform where kids can interact with other people has

(52:47):
this potential. You know, anyone can go online and easily
create a fake profile. They can now use AI to
create fake avatars and you know, fake voices and do
all kinds of things. So I think it's really important
to warn your kids that on any platform they're using again,
it doesn't matter whether it's a game, social media, or whatever,

(53:08):
there's certainly the possibility you're going to run into bad
people who want to do bad things to them. Again, sextortion.
We've talked about it before. That's explicitly mentioned in here.
Kids should be warned about this stuff, and you know,
warned that there are bad people online looking for them,
will pretend to be someone else, the sextortion thing. You know,

(53:30):
many kids have killed themselves.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
I know this.

Speaker 9 (53:33):
I'm actually glad you brought this up because I think
it's an important topic and it's not just roadblocks. It'll
be interesting to see how this lawsuit plays out. Again,
these are strong allegations. I have no firsthand knowledge. I
can only tell you what I've read about it. But
kids and their parents and grandparents need to know about
this so that hopefully if they are going to use

(53:55):
these sorts of platforms, games, tools, etc. They at least have,
you know, have some degree of education and awareness about it,
and some level of skepticism about the people they meet online.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
There no question about it. The other one, in addition
to roadblocks, which you've talked about, discord, is the other
one that the FBI specifically pointed to in this release
about the so called seven six y four predator group.
I just it brought a bile in the back of
my throat to hear what some of these perverts are
asking children and getting children to do through these through

(54:27):
this manipulation.

Speaker 9 (54:27):
Dave, Yeah, I'm not familiar with the seven sixty fourth thing.
I don't know if that's news that just recently broke.
I have not heard of that before.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
They've got hundreds of active investigation. That's why the release
was made yesterday. I mean, who knew about this? I mean,
who knew about it unless you were part of these
pervert this pervert organization. That's the other thing. The Internet
allows these people to gather together and congregate and commiserate
together and sort of support their twisted ideas. It's like
getting into an echo chamber filled with twisted minds.

Speaker 9 (54:56):
Yeah, it's uh. The Internet, for all all of the
things it does to make life better, can be a
scary place, especially for children. Now Here it's interesting, Brian.
While we were talking, I found an actual press release
from the Attorney General's Office here and it mentions seven
six four. Earlier this year, twenty five year old Kentucky
mammoth ties to an extremist sex stortion group called seven

(55:19):
sixty four pleaded guilty as part of the plot to
groom extort, threatned, and even conspired to kill children as
young as eight using various on PLNE platforms.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
The group seven sixty.

Speaker 9 (55:29):
Four is known to utilize roadblocks among other platforms. So again,
this is what they allege. I don't know. This is
a press release. Anyone that's interested can find it at
ky Kentucky dot gov.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Kentucky dot gov and then go ahead and search for
seven sixty four network and look at the FBI said
about it and all the criminal investigations that have been launched,
all the prosecutions that I mean, you got to have
probable cause to go after someone. Dave, there apparently is
a lot a lot this activity going on. Let's continue
with Dave Hadter some in thirty seven fifty five KCD

the prior topic. Let's skip the cloud flare outage moment

and talk about social media again fueling what you were
describing as a fake weight loss drug booms just like
an ozempic kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Dave Yes.

Speaker 9 (56:35):
And you know, this is a combination of the things
we've talked about for years, you know, online scams and fraud.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Social media being able to move.

Speaker 9 (56:45):
Things at large scale and rapidly, and then using AI
to create celebrity endorsements and things like that. Right with
products out there now like Sora Vio three from Google,
it's it's incredibly easy. Again, I encourage people to go
see for themselves so you can understand the full gravity
of this. It's incredibly easy to get online, find tools

(57:08):
that will create extremely realistic videos with little skill and
you know, in many cases free, So.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
You've got a perfect storm.

Speaker 9 (57:19):
And whether it's you know, a zembi except bound, other
weight loss drugs which are very popular now, or you know,
anything someone would want to try to sell.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
I don't want to just limit this.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
To this weight loss topic, because you know this could
be used for anything someone wants to sell quote unquote,
and you know sometimes what they're selling, you're never going
to get it.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
It's just a complete straight up scam.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Right.

Speaker 9 (57:40):
That's bad enough, But I would argue in other cases,
you know you're going to get some fraudulent knockoff type
product which you know could be dangerous depending on what
it is, including some sort of drug, whether it's you know,
a placebo or filled with god knows what. You know,
folks need to be very careful when they're buying things online.

(58:02):
You know, the old thing is true, Brian, if it
seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Well, except for ozempic and those similar category and class
weight loss drugs, which are sound too good to be true,
but apparently it makes it pretty easy to lose weight,
so the concept is out there, which makes them so
wildly popular. But that allows others to use the success
of those drugs for obviously nefarious purposes.

Speaker 9 (58:27):
Yes, so here's a stat related just specifically to the
weight loss category. Interpol says weight loss drugs accounted for
a growing share of counterfeit and unapproved medicines intercept the nationwide.
In October of twenty twenty five, authorities in the UK
reported the largest seizure of traffic weight loss medicines ever recorded,
valued at a quarter of a million pounds and included

(58:48):
thousands of injectable pens containing something called retar retried or
something apparently some drug fit's being tested and you know
it hasn't been proven, that sort of thing. So again
I would remind folks that it's not just that you
might it might just be a straight up scam. You're
never going to get anything for the money. You know,

(59:11):
you might get some kind of weird knockoff thing that's
not very good, or you could get something that's actually dangerous.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
I mean, who knows what's in this case.

Speaker 9 (59:19):
It sounds like it's some other drug that may or
may not work, may or may not be safe. Who knows.
But I mean this, this article here has a quick
comparison so with goov. This is prices in dollars in
the US. It's one thousand and thirty one thousand, three
hundred and forty nine dollars Manjarro and that's for four

(59:42):
doses Manjaro. Four doses one thousand, two hundred ninety four dollars,
sax Indo, which I've never even heard of, five doses
one thousand, three hundred and forty nine dollars. So if
you go online and find a site that reports to
be selling you, you know, willgovy at three hundred bucks
or something, you can almost guarantee it's a scam, right yeah,
and then throw in some celebrity endorsement, very very you know,

(01:00:07):
probably ninety nine point nine nine nine percent chance it's
a scam. So yeah, folks need to be aware of
these scams. They need to be aware of how easy
it is to use these AI tools to create these
celebrity endorsements or whatever. Oh yeah, and again it seems
too good to be true. It probably is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
No doubt about it. Jees like James Earld Jones is
trying to convince you to buy three hundred dollars Rosidompic
that is probably a fake six forty five right now,
or with tech Friddy's Dave Hatter, speaking of deep fake,
it's six fifty to fifty five kir Se detalk station
revealing my age. Is it live or is it memoracs?
We are in the modern times. Now in twenty twenty five,

(01:00:44):
am I seeing something that's real? Or is it artificial
intelligence generated? We're talking about video here, deep fake videos?
How about the deep fake fever dream as this article
refers to this new technology. Dave Hatter, I hate this stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:01:00):
It's it's interesting, Brian, because just like in the last segment,
you know, these these tools that can now create very
very realistic video. And this isn't something in a lab somewhere.
This isn't something you need to be an mit to access. Right,
you can go online right now and try these things out.
And I guess there's a couple of terms I wanted

(01:01:20):
to throw out. You know, first off, you might hear
the term spoofing, which is sort of a catch all
term for creating things that look legitimate that aren't, whether
it's an email, a text message, a video, whatever. Right,
So if you hear spoofing, that's generally what they're talking
about in the digital world, creating something that looks real
that isn't. And it's a real problem because as technology

(01:01:42):
is increasingly entwined in our lives and everything that we do,
and it's these tools that make it easier to create
very authentic looking things that are actually spoofed. You know
that the possibility for fraud is just skyrocketing. It's been
one of my concerns about these things, really since it
became a known thing, is it's now really easy to

(01:02:04):
clone someone's voice, to take a photo or a video
of someone and make another video that's completely fake. And again,
whether it's used for some sort of fraudulent purpose like
a celebrity endorsement, or it's used to create a video
of your boss telling you to do something that you know,
transfer phones or whatever. This stuff is now everywhere, and
you know, the Internet is increasingly full of what's now

(01:02:27):
known in the business as AI slop, all these crazy
AI videos of weird things that are clearly not real.
But I'm much less concerned about that than I am
the fact that anyone can go online use one of
these tools to make things that are extremely realistic looking.
And you know, we've talked about this off and on
for years now, whether it's okay, I want to frame

(01:02:49):
a person we're saying or doing something that they didn't do.
I want to use these tools to try to get
myself out of a problem because you said I did X.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
But no, here's a video of me. Why. I mean,
you know, this is creating impact.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
Creating an ALBI. I mentioned the idea of creating reasonable
doubt in the hearts and minds of the jurors. You know,
just by casting aspersions on a real video, like a
police video, they could, you know, the defense attorney could say,
you know what this day and age check it out.
Listen to Dave Hatter on The Thomas Show. This sora
AI program which allows you to create genuine they look
like real videos. I don't know what this video is,

(01:03:25):
but you know, we got to worry about that. Here
this man could be convicted and I don't know, I
have a doubt that this is even real.

Speaker 9 (01:03:32):
Right, Yes, now, you know, ideally you'd have metadata.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Like no, I understand there's it's a complex evidentiary change
can be proven by the prosecutors.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
And but but your general point is correct.

Speaker 9 (01:03:48):
Yes, I mean, all you really need is one juror
that doubts it, right, And at that point, and as
this stuff gets more complex and more capable of generating
incredibly realistic thing, you know, it's going to be hard
for the average person to really understand all that mumbo
jumbo about exit data and this, that and the other,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
And like you said, a political video that's made. It
shows Donald Trump, I don't know, molesting some child, and
it gets traction and people aren't thinking, you know, more
than a second in front of their heads, and oh,
look at that area is there's the.

Speaker 6 (01:04:19):
Proof he is a perverb.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Look at it, you know. And by the time the
fires put out and it's brought to everybody's attention. No,
this is artificially created. You know, there's already a lot
of damage that's been done. That's just a random musing
from my head on the fly. Here, Dave, you can
see how bad this could be.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Yeah, it's.

Speaker 9 (01:04:36):
There's so many different ways that this can cause issues.
And I know the average person thinks, okay, well, how
is this going to affect me? And I just want
to I want to point out and I'll send it
to you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Maybe we can do it next week.

Speaker 9 (01:04:50):
I recently did an interview I don't think we talked
about this with a reporter out of Columbus where we
deep faked his voice. And I've done this with several
other reporters. You can kind of watch on TV how
it works, how easy it is, how anyone can do it.
But you know what, I'll tell people all the time
because I'd be like, well, I'm not Brian Thomas, I'm
not John Matta Reeves. How would you get my voice?

(01:05:10):
How do you have a voicemail greeting on your phone?
Because if you do, I can call it and record
your voice. And we did that with Steve Levine from Columbus.
We literally called his phone, recorded his voice, fed it
into a free tool I found online, and you can
literally watch me type and his voice come out to speakers.
So it's real, it's absolutely real.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Well, and the word gets out on this just generally speaking,
you know, Okay, there's fake stuff out that looks real,
there's fake audio out there that sounds real that obviously
the I think the majority of people know that that
concept exists. Then we start doubting literally everything.

Speaker 9 (01:05:51):
That's you You certainly need to have a healthy dose
of skepticism now right, anything that you see or hear,
because it could be fake. It's never been easier to
fake it. And you know, that's the best defense against this.
Now there are you know, there are people working on
watermarking technologies and ways to try to determine if something
is fake. But when things can happen very quickly, you know,

(01:06:16):
do you when you get a call from your son
who's in jail and needs money to get out of
jail in the middle of the night and you're not
thinking clearly because it's three am and they're upset and
you're upset, are you really or your boss leaves you
a voicemail telling you to transfer funds? You know, are
you really going to question that? If you don't understand,
this is very real now and easily accessible to any

(01:06:40):
criminal out there. And that's why you know that, the awareness,
the skepticism. If you don't operate with that approach, you
are eventually going to get scammed. I mean, it's just
a matter of time till they find you. And I'm
not suggesting they're going to target you for five hundred
dollars in gift cards. But people have to understand so
much of this isn't really targeted, right, It's not like
they're thinking of out sound Cindy Lou who down the street.

(01:07:03):
She just happens to come up on a list. They
make a call, Oh, here's a voicemail, let's record it.
Let's see what we can do. Now, there are plenty
of targeted attacks, Don't get me wrong. I think we
talked about the voice cloning attack on the CEO of
Ferrari and how they tried to get the CFO of
Ferrari to transfer some funds that you know was thwarted.

(01:07:23):
So yeah, it's real. You got to be skeptical. You
got to understand that you should act with caution anytime
anyone is asking you to do something unusual, anytime there's urgency,
anytime there's pressure applied to you to do something, especially
if it's financial, you know, those are all strong red
flags that you're getting scammed. I would advise people don't

(01:07:45):
take any phone call from a number you don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
It's important.

Speaker 9 (01:07:48):
They'll leave a message. The local sheriff is never going
to ask you to buy gift cards. Your bank is
not going to tell you to transfer funds to another
bank or the irs to protect them. I mean, it's
just sadly all common. SCAN on NBI Day of warns
about these things all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
So about your time, Dave, I appreciate it, brother, thank
you for all that you do. I hope people heed
your warnings. It's all I can pray for. Have a
great weekend, my friend, and a very happy Thanksgiving to you. Brother.
Gonna be off next Friday, so you and I won't
be talking, but I hope say what shoe to Oh
that's right, we got a special edition with you on Tuesday. Okay,
fantast I'll talk to you on Tuesday. So have a

(01:08:24):
great weekday, Dave. Thanks seven fifty or sixty eightify five
carrios of THETALX station, No cool. Today's top headlines got
fifty five car See the.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Seven o six here at fifty five kr. See the
talk station Happy Friday by Thomas inviting telephone calls. Love
to hear from you. Maybe this one of the topics
that's floating down the around the world is on your mind.
Feel free to give me a rang. Let's talk about it.
Five one three, seven four nine to fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eight to two three talk go with pound

(01:09:13):
five fifty on AT and T phones. Looking forward to
the weekend. I hope you are too. Looking forward to
seven thirty bottom of this hour the return of Patty
Scott Heart for Seniors. I think is probably my one
of my least favorite organizations, doing just so much wonderful
work for seniors that are being cared for by loved
ones or in assisted living facilities. Life is not easy
for those folks, not easy for the caregivers, not easy

(01:09:33):
of course for the seniors. And Patti Scott in her
organization have so many wonderful tools, items, things that can
help everyone deal with the problems go along with caring
for folks that are dealing with, you know, mental issues
and senior issues generally speaking, like the bandages that they
offer through Heart for seniors that do not stick to
the skin but remain a fixed so you don't have

(01:09:55):
that skin tearing problem. We'll hear from her bottom of
the hour, Congressman David Taylor. One hour from now, turn
a Congressman Taylor, we'll talk a little bit about Epstein.
We'll talk about something that I think is very important.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act. Just seems like
simple common sense. You should need to be able to
speak English, or at least read the road signs and

(01:10:17):
understand them before you get behind the wheel of a
semi tractor trailer. No, nothing can go wrong with someone
who's not English.

Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
The funniest part about that, We're talking about this in
the context of illegal immigrants, and you know, California issuing
commercial driver's licenses to people, even if they're not illegal,
who can't read. I don't know how you get through
a commercial driver's license exam without being able to read,
because the exam itself, Oh, that's right, they provided in
different languages. In any event, That's one thing. But then

(01:10:48):
consider the state of the education system in this country
and realize that there are a lot of children out
there in K through twelve, regardless of their immigrant status,
a lot of them born in the United States of
America to Americans citizens can't read. Are they going to
be able to get a driver's license? Maybe I'll ask
Congress from David Taylor about that. Finally, what's next? Now

(01:11:08):
the government's back and open. Uh, And well, the Epstein
files have been released, Although that topic of conversation is
going to survive long, long beyond the release of the documents.
That only has just begun from my perspective. Then, following
David Taylor, we're gonna get Mike Hogan and Natalie Cooking
in studio. They're with meals on wheels. It's the Bust
a Crust campaign going to help out folks on life's

(01:11:30):
margins through the Meals on Wheels program, getting folks meals
delivered to their homes, Folks in need like the seniors
I just mentioned. So they'll be on at eight thirty
closing out Friday on a positive note. Five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk
Remember fifty five krsee dot com for podcasts and you
can't listen live and get your iHeart media apps. You
can listen to stuff and things wherever you happen to

(01:11:52):
be on the iHeart platform. We heard from Jay Ratliffe
and thanks to Jay getting back and overcome his bell's
palsy diagnosis, our iHeartMedia Aviation XI Bird returned yesterday and
what a great thing that was. It was Abraham Lincoln
Day yesterday. I don't know if you saw the empower
Use seminar, but we had the Abraham Lincoln in person
impersonator last night and also had Tim McGrath on the
show yesterday. Three Roads to Gettysburg sound like a fascinating book,

(01:12:14):
and Congressman Warren Davidson, it's all at fifty five KRC
dot com. Let's see here. I thought this was a
good development. As I read, I've read a multitude of
articles about the fraud, waste, and abuse in every government program.
I know they haven't fallen below your radar. There was

(01:12:36):
a report out of Minnesota about the Somali population up
there committing massive fraud in the medicaid program and the
money being sent to Al Shabab, the terrorist organization. That's right,
your American taxpayer dollars is a consequence of massive fraud
has resulted in the funding of terrorist organization. And there's

(01:12:57):
just one story after another, and weirdly, a lot of
its centers around autism diagnoses. Now I know it's probably
made it to your radar as well. Autism's on the rise.
Oh my god. What causes autisms? Is it vaccine? Is
it our diet? Is it processed food? Is it just
because we have a keener awareness of what is autism
and what isn't, has the definition of autism change? Perhaps

(01:13:18):
every single one of those factors is part of the
reason we have a greater discussion about the problems of autism.
But that can lead to the formation of non governmental
organizations designed to deal with the problems of autism. And
that's exactly what happened in Minnesota the tune of hundreds
of millions of dollars. Yeah, random Somalis create these individual

(01:13:39):
NGOs that are going to help facilitate children getting the
autism treatment they need. They set up facilities and clinics
to purposefully, yet fraudulently identify children as being autistic. So
a doctor and they connive with other family members. Hey,
just go to the clinic, take your child in. We're
going to give you a slice of the pie, maybe
fifteen hundred dollars. If you have this doctor diagnosed as

(01:14:00):
your child is autistic, Well that doctor will get paid
MM through the federal government, and then you'll send them
over to one of these NGOs where they're going to
get some assistance in treatment. Yes, the NGAA is going
to get a lot of money for each of the
children they treat, and of course they package that money
up and send it overseas. That's a boiled down version.
You can read the bright Bart article. It's a Minnesota
Somali medicaid fraud investigation reveals terrorist link. Largest funder of

(01:14:24):
Al Shabab is the Minnesota taxpayer. So with that in mind,
I was pleased to see the Treasury Departments announcement yesterday
explaining that, well, there's a new regulation out there barring
individuals with unlawful status in the United States from accessing
tax credit benefits.

Speaker 6 (01:14:45):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Treasury proposed rule making is going to cover the refunded
portions of individual income tax credits like, yes, the Earned
Income Tax Credit, additional Child Tax Credit, American Opportunity Tax Credit,
something called these savers match credit. Now, are illegal immigrants
entitled any of this? Apparently right now they get it.

(01:15:09):
None of these proposals. Those credits are going to fall
plainly within the definition of quote federal public benefits, and
because they are federal benefits under the current state of law,
illegal immigrants are not entitled to them. Treasury Secretary Scotts said,
under President Donald Trump's leadership, we are enforcing the law

(01:15:32):
and preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax benefits when intended
for American as citizens. Treasure officials of tax policy and
the irs have worked tirelessly to advanced as initiative and
ensure it's successful implementation. So you know what you know,
you basically fill out a tax form, you claim these credits.
Maybe you line your income. You know your quote unquote
eligible if you're an American citizen to claim these, they

(01:15:54):
send you a check. The IRS send you a check.
Child tax credit, I send you a check. It's like
shooting fish in a barrow to get money out of
the American taxpayer, isn't it well? This rule would change that.
Treasury stated of the Department of Justice has recently issued
an opinion supporting their interpretation of the law. Final regulations
beginning next tax year twenty twenty six. So the bell

(01:16:18):
has not been unwrung for this tax year. Obviously, tax
has been fired's filed so far, But at least next year,
we're going to prevent the opportunity for people to builk
the system. Every single one of these programs is just
overwhelmed with fraud. If you create a government program and

(01:16:39):
you promise handing out money, whether it's COVID money or
any other form of money, someone's going to take advantage
of it. We sit idly by and let this happen. Well,
at least a Trump administration is going to deal with
these various tax credits. Isn't that a positive step in
the right direction? Seven fifteen, Jay and John, you guys, next,

(01:16:59):
hold on, take your call right out of the gate
when I get back after Face Ship seven, nineteen fifty five,
Karri City Talks Station Hard for Seniors coming up next
to Patty Scott's in house. Real quick here before I
go to the funds, Jay, one moment here bear with me.
So here here you can see the pattern here. According
to the sources autism claims in for Medicaid in Minnesota,

(01:17:23):
in twenty eighteen, there were three million dollars for autism
claims to medicate. Fast forward a few years in twenty
twenty three, that had jumped to three hundred and ninety
nine million dollars providers. In twenty twenty there were forty
one business providers related to autism in the entire state.
That number jumped to three hundred and twenty eight by

(01:17:44):
this year, all of them applying for receiving Medicaid funding.
One in every sixteen Somali four year olds in Minnesota
has been officially diagnosed with autism, triple the state average. No,
there's nothing to see here, Jay, thanks for calling this morning.
Welcome to the Morning Showy.

Speaker 10 (01:18:02):
Good morning, Brian. I read that same article, yeah, and
the only thing I could think of was as far
as I know from the federal government's latest last report,
which they are way late. That's supposed to be a
mandatory annual report laying out date by state who which
state is worse. We are still worse than Minnesota. No, really,

(01:18:24):
Americans for Prosperity. When the ones that brought a delight
that said it was a forty five percent improper payment
rate for the state of Ohio, which means you take
the right now, our state budget, forty five billion out
of one hundred and twenty billion dollar budget is in Medicaid.
Forty five percent of that is improper payment. I have

(01:18:44):
not heard that that number got any better. And due
to your good work, you and Joe, we've heard over
the years, Auditor Keith Faber come on and talk about
it's hard, it's complicated. There's eighty eight counties, there's computers.

Speaker 4 (01:18:57):
You know it.

Speaker 10 (01:18:58):
It smells like work and rather not do any We
have a joint Medicaid Oversight Committee up in Columbus. Who's
supposed to be watching this? I think it's equal number
of Republicans and Democrats. They all get paid to be
on this committee. It's been around for decades. Jennifer Gross
to her credit, came on your program maybe a year
ago and talked about how much incentive there is in

(01:19:19):
state money to get able bodied people on Medicaid and
it is just a disaster and it's the most underreported
and lack of accountability. Where is the Attorney General, Dave yost.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Is?

Speaker 10 (01:19:35):
This is right at the feat of the Ohio Republican Party.
And I'll go back to one of my favorite recent targets,
these are your people, Central Committee. Do you put your power,
your backing, and all the money and influence if the
Ohio Republican Republican Party has and we are worse until
somebody shows up with the data that says we're not.
And where is this annual report that's supposed to come

(01:19:58):
out of the CMMs? Last time it served was because
of a Foyer request from Americans for Prosperity, not because
the Republican Party in the state of Ohio is demanding
to know if we are still in last place out
of fifty states.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
That right in of itself is rather interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
Jay.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
They're supposed to put the report out and they didn't.
A Foyer request from judicial wa Wash only is the
only reason they actually did put out the information. Why
is it that no elected official in the state of
Ohio isn't at least curious about what the current status
is with regard to the Medicaid payments.

Speaker 10 (01:20:30):
I mean, Jennifer Gross can answer that. Jennifer Gross can
answer that question better than anybody. And my memory from
my recollection, she came on and talked about that the
state money and then the incentives that come from putting
able bodied people on Medicaid. For every person they get
on Medicaid, State of Ohio gets a kick back from
the federal government. So you know, Mike de Wine doesn't

(01:20:51):
look at it like we're all paying federal tax. We
pay that and then we pay state tax.

Speaker 4 (01:20:56):
He holds up a.

Speaker 10 (01:20:57):
Bill, but he had a when he got his record
setting budget, he held it up and like he did
some amazing thing that our budget in Ohio is one
hundred and forty billion. Next door neighbor Pennsylvania's forty five billion,
and they have a GDP that's bigger than ours. They
have a one trillion dollar GDP and weren't nine hundred million.
And if Republicans are acting like Democrats in this state,

(01:21:19):
and where is the where is the joint Medicaid Oversight
Committee they have a chairman, might be good to invite
them onto the program and say, what the hell are
we paying you and everybody else sitting on that committee
to do for all these years. I asked if I
could attend the hearing. Answers negative, No, that's not open
for the public. They did send me some link to

(01:21:39):
where I can watch the committee hearing go on, But
I would love to know what the hell are they
talking about in these meetings and what are we paying
them for.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
If you heard me chuckle when you said that about
get them on the program, Joe uttered in my head
said in slim just left town.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Well, Jennifer Gross has been on.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
She's on there, she has she's not the chairman. I
don't know chairperson. No, not to chermyally correct. Okay, yeah,
I understand that. Maybe we get it back on to
talk about if there's been any developments or any new
information on that. I know this is this is like
your hot button topic. I just mentioned medicaid. I know
I'm going to get a call from you.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
Jay.

Speaker 10 (01:22:15):
I would have never heard about it. If it wasn't
for you and Joe and your program.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
Then Americans for Prosperity they do great work, they really do,
and I appreciate it.

Speaker 10 (01:22:24):
Kind of backed off of it. He backed off of
it last time.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
He was ad.

Speaker 10 (01:22:27):
He said, yeah, we don't really you know, if we
did an audit, it would probably only yield a million bucks,
because you were using that to say, can't we can't
we lower a property tax by getting the medicaid fraud
And he said, well, it'd only be about a million
bucks if we did an audit. Well, how in the
hell do you know what the audit is going to
be before you do an audit?

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
Valid point. Let's let's get the information right, And that's
what it comes down to. And you know what, wouldn't
it be great if what we got was a clean
bill of health that the program was in fact run
efficiently and there was very little, if no fraud, wasting abuse.
I would love to hear a report card like that.
I'd be jaded and cynical it was true or not.
But if you get the information, that's what's important. It's

(01:23:03):
like the autism information, dude, vaccines cause it maybe we
don't know, but AT want you to be aware of
the fact that there could be a link of connection there.
Our ultra process food is responsible for our crazy diabetic problem,
to ec problem, et cetera, et cetera. They're finding research
out there, They're putting the information out there. It's for
you to absorb and consume. We need information. We need
to have some measure and showing of responsibility, like a

(01:23:26):
fiduciary obligation by our elected officials with the money we
hand them over. You know, they take the money from
us under threatened, under prosecutions, under prosecution in jail. You
must pay your taxes. Well, damn it. If I have
to pay my taxes will end up in jail. If
I don't, you better damn well be responsible in spreading
that money around. There shouldn't be any fraud, waste and abuse.

(01:23:49):
It's like I think a Dave had Ter and Internet
of Things devices, they should have security as the first
and foremost thing on their minds when they're sending something
out in the world. Right, how about we start with
the impossibility of committing fraud, waste and abuse on any
given program in government. Let's make it impossible, if not
onerously difficult. Shouldn't that be job one? I think we

(01:24:13):
should make that the new focus. Jay, Thank you very much.
John apologize out of time. I got Patty Heart standing in.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
The talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Seven thirty one, fifty five KRSD talk station. Even listen
to the fifty five KRC Morning Show for a while.
You know that I adore the work that Heart for
Seniors is doing for folks living in assisted living facilities
as well as being cared for by family members or
other caregivers in the home. Wonderful services and they're trying
to make life a lot easier in so many ways.

(01:24:42):
They have. Welcome back, Patty Scott Heart for Seniors. Find
them online, you'd be glad you did. Heart the word
for the number. Seniors dot org is where you're gonna
find them.

Speaker 5 (01:24:52):
Patty.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
It's good to have you back in studio on a Friday.

Speaker 11 (01:24:55):
Thank you, Brian, Thank you so much, and we love
your listeners. First of all, considering next week's Thanksgiving, we
are beyon grateful, amen so grateful that number one, we
have our seniors living amongst us. Yes, whether they're in
a facility, whether they're at home. There's no reason why

(01:25:15):
you should age without any dignity, and so we're just
so grateful that your listeners care. I'll tell you it'll
be almost a year next month that you had us
on your first show. Oh no kidding, Yes, yes, a.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
Year next month goes by so quickly.

Speaker 11 (01:25:30):
It does, and we just are so grateful. We couldn't
have done any of this or expanded or touched any
of these lives without your listeners. So we're very, very grateful.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
Well, I am grateful for you, I really am. And
it's why I'm so happy that you came on the show.
At the outset, I didn't realize that these, you know,
the problems that you deal with and address even existed.

Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
I was painfully aware of the situation my father was
in when he was with Alzheimer's and the Alzheimer facility.
But Mom was there all the time, you know, I
mean most of the time anyway, But you nonetheless saw
the struggles. It is not easy being you know, I
will describe it as in an invalid condition, in an
invalid state, impossible to care for yourself and reliant among

(01:26:18):
about a reliant on others who, if they're not a
family member, probably don't have the care and concern first
and foremost in the mind that a loved one would.
And when it comes to the diaper, changing that to me,
it's just wow, you're in air tract infections. You know,
Dad went through some of those wallowing in that because

(01:26:38):
they're on a schedule. Rather than knowing immediately when there's
a continence and incontinence issue, you have the technology that
you know, boom right there, you know, the minute it happens,
you can assign the person to that room right away,
not a schedule where you're just sort of waiting around.
Just the first you're the one that introduced the technology
to me, and all the realities that go along with
the problems of not having that regular.

Speaker 11 (01:26:58):
Assystem alert response technology. You know, at the end of
the day, all we need to know is we need
to be alerted. And there's all kinds of alert devices
out there, but none that other than our system that
shows you that there's been an incontinence episode. You know,
why should somebody have to sit in there yurn in
their feces. It just goes to skin breakdown and so
many other things. And then we heard from your listeners

(01:27:21):
that they weren't just in nursing homes. They were at
home right and they needed help because they're working. There
are other places, and so we stepped up to the call,
and we created an app so that they could have
the technology at home. You know this little device right here,
Alert Response Technology, it's heart rate, it's pull socks, you know,

(01:27:42):
it's that's the risk monitors, that's the risks where Yeah,
the smartwatch. Yeah, and it alerts and tells you if
it goes below ninety if it alerts if I mean,
I can just tell you the heart rate alone. Somebody
got an alert the other day. Family member got it.
They were able to determine what was going on and
there and father had forgotten to actually take their heart medication.

(01:28:04):
No kidding, Brady cardia heart rate drop. Couldn't figure out
what had happened. Alert Response Technology realized the medicine had
not been taken.

Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
Just scratching the surface. Here with Patty Scott from Heart
for Seniors, Heart the Number four Seniors dot or we'll continue,
got more things to talk about, all positive here on
a Friday, as we had segue into Thanksgiving week seventh
seen seven fifty five Kroosity Talk station fifty five Carosee
getting out there. Some love for my senior friends in

(01:28:33):
the audience and those who care for them. Heart for
Seniors word Heart the Number four seniors dot Org, Patty
Scott's in studio, and a shout out to my friends
Charlotte and Bob. Charlotte and Bob, good morning to both
of you. Apparently they may very well be listening. Charlotte
told me that she was. I had the pleasure of
being introduced to her a few weeks ago and when
Patty was in the studio, and apparently she is there

(01:28:55):
every morning to hear me say five oh five. So
good morning Charlotte and Bob. And I understand you know
you mentioned to me the move over to the bandages,
and I've been doing some commercial See these things are amazing, amazing.
First off, you're the one that made me realize that
a regular band aid on a senior with thin skin
will literally pull the skin off.

Speaker 11 (01:29:15):
It pulds the skin. A band aid, a bandage.

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
She had these wonderful bandages, and props to the company
that brought that helps provide you with them. You are
a five ozho one to three c nonprofit organization. You're
there for the sole purpose of helping seniors. These bandages
actually stick, but they act like a post it note
on a wall. It's easy to tear off. It's just
so simple, and yet it remains the fixed until you
decide to pull it off. You had told me that

(01:29:41):
that seniors end up in urgent care because of bandage wounds,
like we're talking about urgent care in hospitals.

Speaker 11 (01:29:48):
It would amaze taking off a bandage. Taking off a bandage,
or they bump into a wall and a normal bandage
won't and they call the fire department. I can't tell
you how to talk to your local firefighters. They'll tell
you how many calls they make to seniors that just
have bummed into a wall and they can't stop bleeding
because there's nothing to put on them. They themselves don't
even have the right proper bandages that don't tear the skin.

(01:30:10):
There's nothing out there like it. We please get in
touch with us, go to Hard for Seniors. We will
send you samples. We've sent so many samples out to people,
so many organizations. Steve Wilson, one of your followers, came
in with the American Legion in Lovelin and they donated
so many boxes to the community, to the veterans that

(01:30:30):
were in need. He himself just has wound after wound
on his arms, scratches, and here's the deal if you've
got to be so careful with that thinning skin, because
if it rips and it tears, you've got other issues.
I mean, it could turn into skin breakdown, which then
turns into sepsis, which turns into other things. So it's
just so important to pay attention. Kelly Bird, I know

(01:30:53):
she's out there listening. She's one of your followers. She
contacted us last time. Westchester is taking care of their
seniors that are homebound, and we actually are pulling together
some donations to be able to throw into some shoeboxes
for those seniors. They call it Seniors and Shoeboxes. So
anyone with a giving spirit that wants to donate some
wound bandages, they just need to go to our site

(01:31:15):
and we're filling up those boxes next week to be
able to get out. There's so many people homebound. Seniors
are homebound. Yeah, they're just home bound well.

Speaker 1 (01:31:24):
And as bad as maybe being in an assisted facility
assisted living facility may be, most people just simply can't.
I mean, it may be a better option for folks
in terms convenience, the twenty four to seven care that
might exist there, the meals that are prepared and all that.
It's all good, but most people really can't afford that.
It's just outrageously expensive. And that's why there are so

(01:31:47):
many seniors being cared forward home.

Speaker 11 (01:31:49):
In our region alone, there's sixty six thousand in a
long term care facility. There's two point three million at home.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Holy and boy has to strain the resources of the
homes that did the deals with that. But you know,
I guess went on balance, I would rather be in
a situation where a family member is taking care of
me the being in a assisted living facility. But it
just gets beyond.

Speaker 11 (01:32:12):
They need resources, they need to huh.

Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
Oh, well, I think of my poor mom. You know,
it was her and my dad. It was going to
kill her. She was exhausted after caring for him for
a couple of years NonStop, twenty four to seven. You're
up at night, you're up during the day. You're trying
to get them fed, you want to make sure they're hydrated,
you have to clean them up regularly. I mean, it's
on and on and on and on, and at some
point there's a breaking point.

Speaker 11 (01:32:33):
So but we're here's a resource. We're here to help.
We even even if we're just an advocate. We've had
a lot of people contact us. They're in a hospital,
they're family members in a hospital. They don't know whether
to send them to what facility. They don't even realize
that if just for a couple more days, we call
it treat them and streat them. Hospitals are really good
at treating them and straighten them versus just keeping them

(01:32:54):
a couple of extra days. And you can push back,
you can appeal the discharge process. We've helped so many
people appeal the discharge process just to keep their loved
one in the hospital for a couple more days to
where they could take him home, versus them just being
thrown out into a facility that, by the way, struggles
with staffing. Yeah, just completely.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
And you're dealing with Medicare, Medicaid often in these situations,
and they're looking at, believe it or not, trying to
save money by doing that early release or quick release turnaround.

Speaker 11 (01:33:24):
But treat them and STREATOM.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):

of a worthy organization to support, and I can only
call it very worthy. Heartforce Seniors dot Org and make
things really easy for you. So as we appro fast
approach Thanksgiving, I think it's important thing for me to

(01:37:08):
note I'm truly thankful for you and what you're doing well.

Speaker 11 (01:37:10):
We are grateful for you because if it weren't for you,
we wouldn't be where we are today. It's been almost
one year, and it's your listeners who trust you. They
listen to you because they trust you, and because of
that they come to us.

Speaker 1 (01:37:25):
I wouldn't lie to any of them. My approach to
this program and everything that I do is they know
that you know. I mean, you are thin lying. How
do you perpetuate a lie? Come on, why would I
steer somebody in the wrong direction.

Speaker 11 (01:37:40):
We've heard that from so many people that have come
to the office. Is I heard you on the Brian
Tobis show. I've heard you on the Brian and they
trust you for everything.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
I truly appreciate the trust and I like to think
that I maybe have earned it. You know, I'm not
a perfect human being by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 11 (01:37:55):
But you're an amazing You're an amazing man.

Speaker 1 (01:37:58):
I'm not here to have my bad back pat it.
I'm here to support hard for seniors dot Organ the
work that you're doing. You're showing just the positivity that
can come from it every single day.

Speaker 11 (01:38:07):
But you care about you care about them.

Speaker 1 (01:38:11):
I do, and you know what, I'll give props my
mom and dad for that. Yes, you know, having lived
through it, you see it, you become aware of it,
and then you hear about how much worse things can
be and are for so many people. And these are
honestly like the bandages. You think, well, that's an it's

(01:38:32):
easy solutions. Come on, come up with the bandage. It
doesn't tear people's skins off. And know that this is
not widely available technology that is mind blowing.

Speaker 11 (01:38:40):
To me now, or they can't afford it. We've had
so many people that have come in and we're just
like we hand them to them. We're just handing them
to them. They can't afford them, we're just handing them
to them.

Speaker 1 (01:38:50):
Well, if you're looking for something to be thankful for,
you have Patty Scott hard for seniors, at least in
that particular area. But you don't have to look very
far beyond that to see some great things to be
thankful for. We live in such a divided time in
this world, and everyone's seeking to divide us. No one
seems to be able to stop and smile and find
something to be thankful for. As we fast approach Thanksgiving,

(01:39:11):
let's all pause and try to do that. It'll change
your attitude. You know, I think life can be heaven
or hell. You don't know what's coming afterwards. Want to
try to make your life heaven right, that's up to you.
You know you got this, don't know what's coming. But
your attitude has a tremendous amount, tremendous amount to say

(01:39:31):
over whether or not you're going to be happy or
you're going to be sad. You want to dwell on
all the negative. You want to be in a fight
with someone all day. You want to walk around like
some of the Greta Thunberg, for example, the perpetual frown
and anger on your face or do you want to
make the most of this life? Just try to find
something to smile about. As we fast approach again Christmas
as well on the other holidays. I'm sorry a little
wax poetic there. I get kind of sentimental patty when

(01:39:53):
it comes to a.

Speaker 11 (01:39:55):
Thanksgiving is lit. You said it's your favorite holiday.

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
It's legit, mind, it really is.

Speaker 11 (01:40:01):
And we have so many things to be grateful for,
and especially the lives that are around us. I mean,
I thought I was going to lose my mom and
dad this year and they are thriving at eighty eight
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
Isn't that great?

Speaker 11 (01:40:13):
Thriving?

Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
And my mom's doing really weird?

Speaker 11 (01:40:15):
I know, I love your mom.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
I love your mom still.

Speaker 11 (01:40:19):
By the way, for all the donations, the Cunningham Sisters
are still going out and singing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:23):
So they're still doing it.

Speaker 11 (01:40:24):
They're still doing it, folks.

Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
If you're not to wear the Cunningham Sisters, these these
girls are absolutely amazing, and they perform for my mom.
If you make a donation to Hard for Seniors, they
will come to you and perform live, and trust me,
you're gonna want to have them do that because someday
it's going to be like I remember when the Cunningham
Sisters performed for mom or I remember when I was
in the room with the Cunningham sisters because they're going

(01:40:47):
to go global. They're so good. Yes, and they're performing
at King's Island right now. You say they are.

Speaker 11 (01:40:52):
They're in Winterfest.

Speaker 1 (01:40:53):
Yeah, you don't have to take my word for it.
Get down out the King's Island, enjoy Winterfest and check
out the Cunningham Sisters. Not quite sure when they're playing.

Speaker 11 (01:41:00):
I don't know the times, but they're on the main show.

Speaker 1 (01:41:02):
Charming, bubbly. They care, they care, they really do.

Speaker 11 (01:41:07):
Yeah, and their mom actually is now doing work for
Heart for seniors. She's going into homes and just even
doing like diabetic care and pumps and things that people.
Her name's Tara, And I mean literally we I hate
to say it, but a UC coach his dad was
down in Atlanta and he had to pull him up
here and he called he needed help. We got terror

(01:41:29):
ride on a plane. Terror went down with him. They
transported his father back up here. So, I mean, we're
all just here to help. We gotta help. It's we
have to help our seniors.

Speaker 1 (01:41:39):
Part four. Seniors daugh Ter. There's where the help starts.
Get in touch with them, help them out, or take
advantage of the great things they have on the website
and that they make available to you. Patty. We will
talk again soon, I hope and enjoy your Thanksgiving youtubeer.

Speaker 11 (01:41:52):
I will, I will, and I'll be thinking of you
and your mom. I love your mom.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
I love her to death. See talkstation. It was sick
a fifty five KR See the talk station. Brian Thomas
welcoming back to the fifty five Karensee Morning Show and
appreciate his willingness to discuss political matters that come on
the program to talk about it. Congressman David Taylor, representing
the second District care in Ohio and proudly doing so.

(01:42:18):
Congressman Taylor, welcome back to the morning show. It's always
great having you on the show.

Speaker 5 (01:42:22):
Thanks Brian, thank you for having me. I'm always happy
to talk to you.

Speaker 1 (01:42:25):
I am pleased about that. My listeners are pleased to
hear from him as well. Now I talk about start
off with the epstein and not quite sure much time
you want to spend with it. That's fine, but finally
we move forward. Everybody says, let's get the Epstein files
out there. A weird thing happened with Donald Trump. First
he campaigns on releasing them, then he says, no, there's
nothing to see here, and then the Democrats get start
to salivate, thinking maybe there's something in there they want

(01:42:46):
to that he wants to keep from the American public.
I don't know, but we finally ended up to the
point where they're all going to be released subject to
DOJ redactions, which we will all anxiously await and probably
chuckle over. But I mean, I think a lot of
people seem to have lost site of what this is
all about. I'm my understanding. For example, the discharged physician
petition Congress from Massey wanted from some justice for these

(01:43:08):
women who came forward and demanded accountability by those that
molested them, molested them when they were young, before they
were adults, like age fourteen, for example. The point was
there have been no prosecutions with the exception of Epstein
and his you know, Julane Maxwell, where are all the
I mean, there are a thousand victims out there where
I know it wasn't just Epstein molesting them. There's a

(01:43:30):
lot of people out there that were involved and maybe
engaged in that conduct. Isn't it important for these women
to get some justice for what they went through?

Speaker 10 (01:43:38):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:43:39):
Absolutely, Brian. It's like you said, it's not just the
gravity of the crime and the huge number of victims.
That's also we don't know who the all the perpetrators were,
you know, some of the few names that have snuck
out from the British Royalty to others. Obviously there are
people in positions of considerable influence who may still be
in positions of consider influence. And the people deserve to

(01:44:02):
know that the victims deserve justice, and we deserve to
know who were governed by. And I appreciate Congressman Matthew's
efforts to get these documents out. It's vitally important that
we do it. There are some concerns about, you know,
the sort of what's within the four corners of the
discharged petition that results in these releases. There's a security

(01:44:27):
of the victims information is a vital concern, the possible
release of the child sexual abuse materials, right, we have
to be very careful about those things. But this is
a you know, transparent first step towards holding perpetrators accountable.
Past four hundred and twenty seven to one. I was
happy to vote yes on it. What's not been talked
about a lot is Back on September third, we passed

(01:44:50):
the measure to release even more breadth and depth of information,
including Epstein's state documentation, where you can do some real
tracking of who he dealt with and when, and that
passed the House floor, but two hundred and eight Democrats
voted against that, so that leads to the question of

(01:45:11):
what their real motivations are. But I agree with you
one hundred percent, Brian, that all of this needs to
come out. And since the Republicans have been in charge,
tens of thousands of pages of documentation have been released.
Zero pages came out under the previous administration. So it
makes it look like political grandstanding on their part, But
it really doesn't matter, because between you and me and

(01:45:34):
the people of the second District, we want to know
what happened and who did it.

Speaker 1 (01:45:39):
Who did it, who is involved in disgusting a criminal conduct,
and the whole thing that was just seen to become
more of a who's going to get more shoden Freud
out of this has become a political weapon. You have
people levying accusations against Trump based upon some random musings
in some email between some folks, and that, you know,
you could take it out of context, have it in context.

(01:46:00):
The way, it looks like every single document release is
going to be weaponized, or at least there's going to
be in an effort to weaponize it against other politicians,
perhaps for political motivations. None of that has anything to
do with whether these women are going to get some justice.

Speaker 5 (01:46:14):
No, I agree, And it's you know, it's sort of
been political theater somewhat since the Democrats have decided they
want these documents released. Oh, they have victims in the
who they be trained the last four years in the
on the House floor and you know, play to them.
And you know, honestly, I hope when we get to
the bottom of this horrible, you know, child sex abuse nightmare,

(01:46:40):
we we see the Democrats pursue the huge child sex
flame track trafficking the perpetrated under the previous administration. But
I'm not too optimistic that that'll happen.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
Oh, and following that statement, the big question is, well,
why why they seem to be like non political, no
brainer types of things. Congressman, I don't know understand the
division over something that doesn't even bear a political stripe.
You know, justice for these women going after child molesters
and child predators. Does that bear a political stripe.

Speaker 5 (01:47:11):
I don't think it shouldn't. I mean, as we've as
we've discussed, it should have been released long ago. It
should have been that we should have been digging into
it right away. The way this has been handled from
back to the the the prosecutions of Epstein and Maxwell themselves,
it's always been, uh, there's a list of perpetrators, but

(01:47:36):
none of them have been dieted. None of them have
been named publicly except your uh, a British royal no
one particularly cares about, has no influence on on American politics.
But yeah, it's it's puzzling. But they managed to caush
it for the four years that Biden was in office.

(01:47:58):
What what makes it sort of a I think they
pulled it and people want the ste documents, and they said, well,
we got to jump on something, run the twenty percent
side of every eighty twenty issue in the country. We
need to get on the positive side of one. Look,
I've always been on the side of a full transparen
business case.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
So yeah, well, and then the public is demanding some
information or know how in the hell this Epstein guy,
coming from basic obscurity could rise to a position where
he could be having one point two billion dollars in
suspicious trading transactions through JP Morgan. How is it that
he became connected with all these power bloker brokers and
these players. I mean, there's a lot of conspiracy theorist

(01:48:38):
listeners out there. I think there's some evil cabal of
like eight people that run and make decisions for the
entire world. That's not me, but when you see something
like this and all of these global players and multi
millionaire business people all working together and exchanging communications, it
just feeds that narrative and it causes people to m
what is going on here?

Speaker 5 (01:49:01):
Well? No, absolutely, and I'm glad to see that the
JP Morgan documents are already coming out. As I said,
we've been the Oversight Committee has been pursuing this. H
were trying to do it in a very responsible way,
protecting victims' names, protecting the public from being exposed to
the term of art is ceesan, but a child's sexual

(01:49:23):
abuse materials that you are maybe forced into the public
domain by this discharge petition but hopefully media outlets are
responsible when that stuff comes down and does we you know,
get to presented to the eyes of children. You know,
no one wants to see that kind of thing release.
But if that's what's necessary to get to the bottom

(01:49:45):
of this case, then hopefully it's done responsibly.

Speaker 3 (01:49:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:49:49):
Well, you know, part of me, you know, the the
attorney in the suspects that there has been some measure
of accountability against these people in the form of settlement
agreements that have confidentiality clauses in them. Congressman, maybe that's
why there hasn't been any prosecution, because they've all settled
out of court. I don't know. Just because you settle
on a civil from a civil liability perspective, out of
court doesn't mean the prosecutor's office or the US Attorney

(01:50:11):
General couldn't still go after them for blesting children.

Speaker 5 (01:50:16):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Those settlements, I'm sure sure all include
nbas of varying strength. I'm sure they did all they
could to try to make it so that their payment
led to them never being exposed to the light. But
there's all kinds of ways to pursue those cases, and
I'm sure the DJI will use every angle they possibly can.

(01:50:38):
It's been a very active DJ during the first eleven
months or so of this Congress. I'm sure they'll turn
their attention to that. President Trump refers to it as
a distraction. I think basically what he's referring to is
he's not involved and it's distracting from his agenda, fully

(01:51:00):
focused on trying to get his policies across the line.
I assume what he means is they're trying to prevent
him from enacting his agenda by using something with in
which he is really not involved. Yeah, more right, More
and more people who are were deeply involved in the
case say that, you know, as soon as he found

(01:51:22):
out that Epstein was involved in this kind of activity,
he not only banned him from his resource, but you know,
reported to appropriate people that he respected.

Speaker 1 (01:51:33):
It was going on cut ties with the guy like
everybody else should have the minute they found out he
was a child molast year. Congressman. We're going to continue
with Congressman Dave Taylor. Now, something else that should bear
no political stripe should be in the See the Talks
Station eight nineteen fifty five KCD Talk Station Brian Thomas
with Congressman David Taylor. Let me quote you, Congressman David Taylor,

(01:51:56):
along the lines of the shouldn't bear a political stripe quote.
It's a no brainer. If you want to drive an
eighty thousand pound vehicle on America's roads, you should be
able to read the road signs that. That's an irrefutable statement, sir.
But there are people who think that that shouldn't be
a requirement. What is the Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act,

(01:52:17):
which you are a ghostponsor of, sir, Yeah, Brian, this.

Speaker 5 (01:52:22):
Sort of goes hand in hand with Connor's Law, which
we talked about just briefly last time I was with you.
This covers the testing procedure. Currently, the written part of
the CDL test can be given in any language. The
driving portion of it is given in English, but the
very little English proficiency required to pass the driving part anyway. Basically,

(01:52:47):
the passing the driving part is no indication that you
are proficient in English. So this will require you to
take the test in English before getting a CDL. Whereas
Connor's Law covers folks already have a CDL, they're driving,
they get pulled over for this that or the other thing,
and if they're not proficient in English, then they're taken
out of service. It's such a common sense law that

(01:53:11):
it was the law starting in nineteen thirty seven up
until the Obama administration. They gutted the teeth of the law.
That taking you out of service part was taken out
of the law. So if they pull you over you
can't read or speak English, they give you a ticket
and on you go, continuing to endanger everybody on the road.

(01:53:32):
So these two things go hand in hand, and I
expect them to have considerable bipartisan support. But with the
way we've seen Democrats absolutely go to the mastresses to
protect illegals and keep them in the United States, I
don't know, but I'm expecting. This is a very common
sense law, is the law for most of the last

(01:53:54):
hundred years. Hopefully it can be again.

Speaker 1 (01:53:58):
So commercial drivers license are those the purview of the
states or is that a federal issue? Because my understanding
that the laws regarding the roads and the issuance of
licenses commercial or you know, like my own driver's license,
are a state law. Is this is this through the
exercises or the use of the commerce clause, you can
reach out there and sort of even the playing field

(01:54:19):
in terms of what's required to get a cd L.

Speaker 5 (01:54:22):
Yeah, states are handing out CDL with their own rules
to a large extent. But uh, these hopefully both of
these laws will be rolled into the surface reauthorization law
what usually call the Highway Bill. Yeah, it's here because
you you know, as an attorney, you know there's no

(01:54:42):
more abused clause of the Constitution than the Commerce clause.

Speaker 1 (01:54:45):
Oh, don't get me started, commers from Taylor.

Speaker 5 (01:54:50):
But that's like we can all agree that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:54):
No, that's always hesitant to even bring up the topic
because I'm arguing in favor of using the commerce clause
to keep dangerous drivers off the road. And you're right,
it's the worst one ever.

Speaker 5 (01:55:05):
Right, But I mean this is pretty clear nexus to uh,
you know, national commerce when you're hauling big rigs are
going from LA to New York.

Speaker 1 (01:55:14):
Much more so, much more so than growing private wheat
on your own private property for your own private consumption,
which is the genesis of how we went off the
rails here in the United States from the Wicked versus
Philburn case. Sorry to subject around you, all right, So,
so is this teed up is ready to go? Is
it ill still in committee? Are we going to see

(01:55:35):
a vote on this one?

Speaker 5 (01:55:38):
We're hoping that it'll be out of committee soon. The
Connors Law we've we sponsored quite a while ago, and
I think it's it's it should be close, honest. So
we're hoping the reauthorization we'll come through T and I,
and we're hoping both of these bills are are added
to that. That's the highway bills what I'm talking about,

(01:55:59):
and that sort of for a spring for a final passage.
So hopefully we'll get marked up maybe before the end
of the year, if not early part of twenty six,
and I have that passed in the spring and be
off and running all right.

Speaker 1 (01:56:12):
Other than the fact that a lot of Republicans sponsored this,
have you heard an argument articulating against this and saying
why this is not a good idea? That's kind of
the where I'm where I'm especially my curiosity, why isn't
this a good idea?

Speaker 5 (01:56:29):
I'd love to hear it, Brian, No one, No one
has come to me and said that's dumb. So gives
me hope that then we'll get some bipartisan support for it.
And I really do think we will. The trucking groups,
of the lobbying groups or advocacy groups, whatever you want
to call them, are all in favor of it. It

(01:56:51):
will be. The flip side of the coin is that
it'll be good for American workers, you know, since COVID,
the long haul trucker are trucking in general, they're very
lucrative careers, and I think that's part of why some
of these companies are in the CDL mills, are putting
illegals and trucks and paying them less than what they

(01:57:14):
have to pay an American work driver. So there's that's
guide of the coin too.

Speaker 1 (01:57:18):
No question about it. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed
on that. Congressman David Taylor, thank you so much for
spending time with my listeners with me today, and I
want to wish you on behalf of my family and
my listening audience, that you and your family have a
truly wonderful and joyous Thanksgiving holiday, and I'll look forward
to having you back on the program real soon.

Speaker 5 (01:57:34):
Sir, same to you and yours, Brian. Have a great day.

Speaker 1 (01:57:38):
Thanks my friend. I'll try to do that. It's Friday,
probably will twenty five. We're going to help some folks
out MELID talk station, Hey, thirty fifty five kr C
the talk station and some charity love going on there.
We had Patti Scott from Hart for Seniors on the
program earlier talking about the wonderful services and benefits they
offer for seniors, you know, those that are getting cared

(01:58:00):
for either in the home or in assisted living facilities.
And let's pivot on over to those who maybe need
a nice hot meal delivered to them in studio. Mike
Hogan and Natalie Cooking from Meals on Wheels, which you
can find online at much more than a meal dot org.
Welcome to the Morning Show. Let me initially start by
thanking you for what you're doing each and every day,
and I know you got some real exciting news to
pass along to my listeners. It's welcome to the studio.

(01:58:22):
Thanks Brian, thanks for having us and appreciate you being
a Westsider. Give me a little bit of loving here
in the morning. Mike is good have you in even
though you were a lisalgrad. I'm not gonna hold that
again ship you see though.

Speaker 7 (01:58:31):
Right that's well, I was at UC for a long time.
I'll give a shout out to our daughter Abby, go
Bearcats tomorrow, go against a big game against BYU.

Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
Natalie. We can go past your educational background. Are you
a local girl?

Speaker 8 (01:58:42):
I grew up in Dayton, so I'm a little bit local.
But I did marry a Westsider. Wow, out of your element?

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
Huh A little bit? Yeah, let me guess he's a frugal,
financially conservative guy. Sure, there's always an outlier. It was
in the genetic pull over the west Side. You know,
frugality rules the day, or at least it did as
I was growing up, and it's something I inherited from
my West Side blood or maybe my parents. But yeah,
very frugal and conservant when it comes to whether or

(01:59:13):
not you're going to spend money. All right, Moving away
from that talk about meals on wheels? How long has
meals on wheels been around? I was looking at the
statistics of the number of seniors that you help, pretty
overwhelming number out there, but meals on wheels. Let me
remind my listeners to the extent that're not familiar with it,
what you do each and every day, the nature of
the organizations. Then we'll pivot over to this exciting news

(01:59:33):
you've got.

Speaker 7 (01:59:33):
Sure, thanks Brian. So Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio
and Northern Kentucky has really been operating under that brand
since about twenty twenty two. In the COVID era, we
were able to come together with two other nonprofits in town.
Our history really dates back to nineteen thirty seven as
Wesley Community Services. During the pandemic, we merged with Cincinnati

(01:59:54):
Area Senior Services also known as CASS and fifty five North,
which was the Hyde Park Senior Center.

Speaker 1 (02:00:00):
I seem to recall my dad having some connection with Wesley.

Speaker 7 (02:00:03):
Jerry absolutely was involved with Wesley for many, many years.

Speaker 1 (02:00:06):
Oh that's wonderful. I'm glad that there's that, you know,
personal connection. Just different names seem kind of helping out.
So you home deliver meals. We use it for folks
that are house bound, you know, shut in types, folks
without the family and structural support to get fed every day.

Speaker 7 (02:00:21):
Yeah, sure, so, I think a lot of us, a
lot of folks know us for our home delivered meal program.
We serve over ten thousand clients in the Greater Cincinnati
Northern Kentucky area. About seventy five hundred of those are
our home delivered Meal clients. Beyond that, we also provide
nutrition at over twenty congregate sites throughout the city. That's
anything from the Green Township Senior Center over on the

(02:00:42):
west side over to the east side in the Anderson
Senior Center, and then we have over we have about
fourteen sites in northern Kentucky that we're at daily providing
providing meals, lunches, breakfasts. It's folks for a place for
them to gather. Beyond that, we have a pretty robust
transportation program.

Speaker 1 (02:00:59):
You do, yeah, we do.

Speaker 7 (02:01:00):
We're able to provide about forty thousand individual trips a
year for grocery stores, doctors' offices, social gatherings, et cetera.
Just a way to get folks out of the house
who don't have the ability to maybe drive anymore, or
looking for kind of that social interaction.

Speaker 1 (02:01:14):
I had no idea. And these are all services that
you offer to the senior community at no cost or
is it a cost associated with it, because of course,
I mean gasolines, expensive salaries.

Speaker 7 (02:01:25):
Food costs are a thing.

Speaker 1 (02:01:26):
The food is outrageous. Let's all uniformally agree. The price
of food's gone through the roof, and everybody's complaining about it.
So how does the operation deal with these financially?

Speaker 7 (02:01:34):
Sure, So all of our services go through the Council
line Aging of Southwestern Ohio. Any client who wishes to
take a look at the services that we can provide
can reach out to them directly.

Speaker 1 (02:01:44):
They'll work through.

Speaker 7 (02:01:45):
The intake, they'll get them set up and get them
connected with us as well, and we can go through,
you know, just the variety of services that we offer,
and we provide.

Speaker 1 (02:01:53):
Wonderful and again that's much more than a meal dot
org said very slowly, and our tulating the words much
more than a meal dot or because there if you
type in meals on wheels in your search engine. There
are a lot of these organizations that's wonderful and it's
great that they're everywhere, but if you want the one locally,
you want to maybe make a gift. I encourage my
listeners to do that, most notably this time of year

(02:02:13):
or volunteer. We'll talk about some of the additional things
that we as a community can do for them. And
the announcement about a new well, I'm not even going
to reveal anything. It's a little teaser there. We got
something important things to talk about. We will continue with
Mike and Natalie from Meals on Wheels Don't.

Speaker 11 (02:02:28):
Go Away fifty five KRC Do you own a small business?
A seismic shift is coming. It's time to get super short.

Speaker 6 (02:02:35):
Coming KRCD Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (02:02:39):
A thirty eight coming E thirty nine. If you have
KCD talk station Meals on Wheels, Mike Cogan and Natalie
cooking in studio. They're for meals on wheels, find them locally,
much more than a meal dot org. And I was
we're talking to them. I was talking to them on
the break, Mike and Natalie about they do all these
meal preparations in house, vast majority you are cooking the

(02:03:01):
meals in house, and then of course they have folks
that are volunteering and delivering the meals to those seniors
out there in the world that need them. We went
through a little bit of the betting process on that.
But you reach over ten thousand seniors you mentioned, but
the number of meals, which will move over and segue
into the announcement, you have you outgrew your facility. It
sounds like by an overwhelming amount. Let my listeners know

(02:03:22):
how many meals you prepare annually and what your facility
was set up to do versus what you actually do.

Speaker 7 (02:03:28):
Yeah, we're a little tight on space right now, Brian.
We're the building that we're in, we've been in for
a number of years, and we're designed optimally to be
about three hundred thousand meals a year to produce in house.
Right now we're producing about one point two million meals.
So we're at the max for sure. For sure, there's
that much need and demand out there, there is.

Speaker 8 (02:03:46):
Yeah, absolutely, and what you're yeah, well, I think our
distribution manager said it best. We can't do any more,
but we can't do any less. We can't do anymore
because we are really truly at capacity, and we can't
do any less because the need is there and the
need is growing.

Speaker 1 (02:04:01):
So you how many total meals on Wheels organizations are
there out there in the country. It's over five thousand,
five thousand, And where where does Cincinnati and the much
more than a Meal dot Org Meals on Wheels chapter
here in southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky. Where does it
rank among those five thousand?

Speaker 7 (02:04:18):
So we're always ranked among the five or six largest
in the United States.

Speaker 1 (02:04:23):
That that I mean in this greater Cincinnati area.

Speaker 7 (02:04:26):
We serve thirteen counties, five counties in Ohio and eight
in northern Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (02:04:29):
Is there a reason there's so many that rely on
meals on wheels here? Is it just the outreach that
you engage in the awareness because you know, I think Chicago,
New York. Sure, there's a lot bigger cities out there.

Speaker 7 (02:04:40):
There are, and you see a lot of cities. I
was looking, you know at Atlanta and Houston where you know,
they've gotten larger populations, but they've got multiple organizations in
those cities that are doing this work. We're kind of
the leading organization that's that's providing the services that we're
able to provide.

Speaker 1 (02:04:54):
Okay, so kind of a monopoly, which in one respect
is a really good thing, but in another you're at capacity,
can't help anybody else. So you are over Radcliffe drivers.
Where you are now?

Speaker 5 (02:05:06):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (02:05:06):
Yep, yep? Where are you moving to?

Speaker 7 (02:05:08):
So we're heading east, heading off the west side a
little bit. We last April we publicly launched our Driving
into the Future campaign, which was a thirty million dollar
private fundraising campaign for our new facilities. Thanks to the
amazing generosity of this community, we've raised almost twenty five
million dollars towards the word.

Speaker 1 (02:05:27):
Yeah, they're all private dollars.

Speaker 7 (02:05:29):
Private.

Speaker 1 (02:05:30):
Oh, I love hearing that.

Speaker 7 (02:05:31):
It's pretty awesome. We're we're very blessed here in Cincinnati
to have the philanthropic arm.

Speaker 3 (02:05:36):
That we have.

Speaker 1 (02:05:37):
Yes, now it's just individuals or businesses. I mean, obviously
you are a tax free organization or a taxixamp organization.
Are you a five H one to three C organization?
So this is a tax deductible contribution out there. Absolutely
a strong suggestion, given that we're in the giving time
of year, there's got to be someone out there in
the world, some business, some individual that might more than
be more than happy to donate to this obviously in

(02:06:00):
need organization meals on will. So we're going to encourage
him to do that. The facility, then we'll be able
to manage the one point two million that you do
now is it. Can you grow with a new facility
as well?

Speaker 7 (02:06:12):
We absolutely can. So we're really excited to be moving
over to Columbia Township. The old John Nolan Ford from
any listeners who may have bought a car or two
from there, has sat empty for a couple of years,
and we were able to acquire that facility and we're
going to retrofit it from the ground up into a
really a state of the art facility that will allow
us to produce up to three million meals a year.

(02:06:33):
But beyond just the meals brand, we're also going to
have access to community rooms, our volunteer operations, which I
do want to mention We've got over five thousand volunteers
a year that come in and really make the organization
come to life. They will have more resources, more space,
and more ability to make this thing happen.

Speaker 1 (02:06:49):
Now I see on your website much more than any
meal dot or I'm going to mentioned like nineteen more
times BEFO. We're done here to get folks remembering it.
You do have a link for volunteering. What types of
volunteers are you hoping for? What are the ways in
which people can volunteer and get signed up to volunteer.

Speaker 7 (02:07:04):
So it's everything from you know, girl Scouts will come
in and decorate birthday bags. It's one of the highlights
of our clients to a birthday bag on their birthday
every year.

Speaker 1 (02:07:11):
And yeah it is so sweet.

Speaker 7 (02:07:14):
But they'll you know, help pack snack boxes. In addition
to the meals, we help to you know, stuff pantries
every week with kind of just some of the essentials, cookies, crackers,
juice boxes, fruit cups, things like that. They can also
come in and pack pet food. I think a lot
of folks don't know that we have a pretty large
pet program.

Speaker 3 (02:07:31):
When we do.

Speaker 1 (02:07:32):
We do.

Speaker 7 (02:07:32):
We provide over thirty pounds of pet food per year
for all of our clients.

Speaker 1 (02:07:38):
You know, I never would have thought of that, because
the joy of having a companion when you are a senior,
it's like one of the best things you can do
is have a catter a dog in the house to
give you the love and attention, give you something to
do as a senior. Never thought about the reality because
I own a dog, and I know how expensive dog
food's gotten. Cheese, Louise, it's gotten expensive. Yeah, Sures, and

(02:08:00):
you nailed it. I mean, it's really it's about being
able to bride for the senior. But we recognized how
important that companionship is for their quality of life. Yeah,
so to be able to help.

Speaker 7 (02:08:09):
Them maintain that, maintain it in their home and promote
that independent living, it's really important for us.

Speaker 1 (02:08:14):
Now, what about the drivers, So all of our drivers.

Speaker 7 (02:08:17):
Our staff we're staff of about one hundred and forty
and all of our drivers are staff drivers. They are
not volunteers. And that's important to us because it allows
us to maintain continuity with our seniors. Our seniors really
develop a strong relationship with their drivers. They know who's
going to be there, when they're going to get there,
and in many ways, our drivers become an extension of
their family.

Speaker 1 (02:08:36):
I'm sure. And then there's also the idea of that
being your employees. You do background checks, you make sure
that they're up to snuff on their ability to drive
and don't have a commercial driver's license from state California. Sorry,
I had to say that. Don't do not hold Mike
and Natalie responsible for the editorial comments from Brian Thomas
related to politics. As we talk about this important organization.

(02:08:58):
Meals on wheels, We'll do one more, say much more
than a meal.

Speaker 6 (02:09:02):
Dot them talkstation.

Speaker 1 (02:09:06):
Perfect timing Judge Tracker K forty nine fifty five KRC
the talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:09:15):
Joey SA.

Speaker 1 (02:09:29):
Meals on wheels, making it a wonderful world. I always
say we Joey sings that song on a Friday. There's
always something out there to look at and see It
is a wonderful world. And I am sitting in front
of two people, Mike Cogan and Natalie cooking from meals
on wheels, who are approving that helping out ten thousand
seniors cooking one point three million meals annually and in

(02:09:51):
a new space that allow them to expand to three
million meals annually. We're talking about volunteer work. You're talking
about your drivers that are on staff and off air.
You know, well, you mentioned the pet food. What other
service you offer and help seniors get the pet food?
I wasn't thinking really out of the box, somethinking meals
on wheels. They deliver a meal and they wheel away.

(02:10:12):
Because these drivers are regularly in a constant presence in
these seniors' lives, they get to know them. As I
found out over the break, quite often they become a
temporary plumber or a can you fix this? Why you're here?
Kind of thing. So they are in the best possible position,
like a teacher looking out at the students each and
every day, they're in the best possible position to observe

(02:10:34):
whether or not something's going awry in that senior's world.
And I understand that you partner with the Social Protective Services,
so you can alert them if there's anything going on,
or you can investigate it.

Speaker 10 (02:10:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:10:45):
Yeah, So our drivers are all trained to spot something amiss,
whether that is perhaps a utility that isn't working, or
if the if our client is looks injured or looks ill,
or looks a little bit different, or maybe something is off,
they're able to report that back to our team.

Speaker 11 (02:11:04):
We're able to escalate it.

Speaker 8 (02:11:05):
So again what Mike was saying about the continuity between
our drivers and our clients, we really deliver a wellness
check whenever we drop off food.

Speaker 1 (02:11:14):
Great well, since Patty Scott was on earlier, I think
you are ideally suited to maybe partner up with Heart
for Seniors and keep some of those amazing bandages in
those drivers cars. They could drop a box off any
of the seniors that have any wounds or anything like that.
These co peel on and off without tearing the skin,
without doing any wound. I mean, it's just they're wonderful.

(02:11:35):
So here I am trying to merge you two together
to continue to help the seniors out in the community.
You also off We were joking about this on the
break because my mom struggles with technology. How I even
struggle with technology and Mike you had mentioned you also
offer seniors financial or not only financial education, but help
with technological advancement. Sure.

Speaker 7 (02:11:55):
Yeah, our digital literacy program. We're really able to put
technology into their hands and then teach them how to
use it. I think often, you know, through the pandemic,
we learned how important things like FaceTime were to help
keep in touch. But you know, it's also important to know,
you know, when you leave a doctor's appointment, how to
log back into your my chart accountant. Understand you do
that when you find out, you let me know, So

(02:12:18):
I think just to be able to give them all
the resources that they have. Our protective services program, we've
got a team of licensed social workers that help with
over two hundred cases a year that help manage that.

Speaker 1 (02:12:28):
So that's really great, No wonder you're so wildly successful
in the area. So anything else my listeners need to
know about, because I'm doing everything I can to get
them to adopt this your organization and again make a
contribution at much more than a meal dot org.

Speaker 7 (02:12:43):
Sure, thanks, Brian. Yeah, so really we are unable to
do what we do without the support from the community
and right now in the season of giving it as
we approach the end of the year. You know, any
contributions and gifts to our organization make a tremendous impact.
One of my favorite things that I get to do
is when I walk through the office and I see,
you know, a box that's being delivered to a senior,

(02:13:04):
and I see the name on that box. That's one person.
That's one human whose life we're going to make better
that day by being there for them. So any support
to your support, the community support, We're tremendously grateful for it.

Speaker 1 (02:13:16):
Well, I'm grateful the fact that I know now more
about your organization. I really had a tremendous amount of
respect before you came in on what you're doing delivering
these meals, But now that I know everything else you do,
the Thomas Household will be making a financial contribution this
morning to your organization. I am already at the donation page.
You've made it very easy to make a donation, so
I assure you this morning you'll have a few more

(02:13:37):
hundred dollars in your pocket to help this help the
seniors and do the work that you're doing. I wish
all the look to the new facility. When do you
think the new facility will be open? Obviously you've got
a little bit of work to do getting the kitchen
up and run.

Speaker 7 (02:13:49):
Yeah, we got to put some fresh pain on the walls.
But we'll hope to be in by the end, by
the end of twenty twenty six, and then there'll be
a transition period from a production standpoint, but by twenty
seven we should be up in.

Speaker 1 (02:14:00):
So you'll still be crowded up until the end of
the next calendar year a little bit, all right, But
I wish you all the luck in the world getting
that accomplished, and want to thank you on behalf of
all my listeners for what you have been doing for
so many years. And I'm glad my dad had a
connection with the prior Wesley or group that owned you
or that that provided these services, and kind of gives
me a warm feeling of my heart when I think

(02:14:21):
about my dad and how much I miss them. So
I'm glad that you're there. Thank you again one more time.
Did you guys get the website already? Did you pay
attention much more than a meal dot org?

Speaker 5 (02:14:33):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:14:33):
You know it? Get over there, help them out. It's
been a pleasure having you in feel great about this
holiday season knowing that you're out there and I wish
you all the best in your future. And with a
new space, you're going to be helping more and more people,
which is indeed a glorious thing than having Thanksgiving to
both of your happy holidays down
