Speaker 1 (00:09):
Fattal five at fifty KRC, the talk station. Happy Fridays,
say a education, there it is. It's got to be

(00:33):
Friday this woohoo. Thank you Joe Trekker. My name's Brian
Thomas's to the thirty five Case Morning Show. The aforementioned
Joe Strekker is the executive producer of the fifty five
Karzy Morning Show. There wouldn't be one without him, and
without him, there wouldn't be a great lineup today. What
a fantastic day to be Brian Thomas. Here, we got
Tech Friday with Dave Hadter coming up, always always, always
appointment listening, just trying to keep you out of trouble,

(00:55):
giving you some really sound advice. Deleted doesn't act mean deleted. Okay.
Plus we got an eighty two year old who got scammed.
And deep fakes are getting larger and larger in scale,
and I saw some artificial intelligence program out there generating
like they start to finish eight Z movie content. Hollywood's

(01:19):
going away, I mean Hollywood's going away of the DODO.
With artificial intelligence, we get urt Ai created people that
look genuine and real like real people, talk like real people,
looks like real people do you need an actor anymore.
Apparently not anyhow, Tech Friday, Dave had a couple up
with six thirty Dan reaganal former owner of fram USA,

(01:41):
not retired but still involved with Empower You, Empower You
America dot Or. We got a spring semester. We're going
to talk about that. What are the lineup classes? And
I love hearing from Dan. He's just a real true
uh patriot, will call him a patriot, but he's all
about education. And I love the varying lineup of the
empower seminars. It has, you know, just across the board content,

(02:03):
some political, but a lot not Corey Bowman, the return
of the former mayor old candidate Corey Bauman, along with
Signal ninety nine. Together they're going to be in studio
in the eight o'clock hour COVID BIN eight o five.
It should be great. Especially on the heels of my
conversation with Scott Wortman yesterday from the Cincinni Inquirer, I
was asking him specifically, are you aware of Signal ninety
nine and her you know, announcement about this a new

(02:25):
position the City of Cincinnati put in place, notably the
violence production managers. So yeah, yeah, I'm well aware of
Signal ninety nine. So she's obviously made a huge name
for herself and everything she says turns out to be true.
She is she doesn't post unless she's got the backup
for the documents. The information got to me inside test
or inside inside or information, whatever it happens to be.

(02:48):
So we do have a violent production manager, as I
was joking about yesterday, as she pointed out brought it
to my attention, the person's background is basically graphic design.
How in the hell does someone land as a violence
production manager in the city since Sinnati with a graphic
design background, zero law enforcement background, nobody does And I
suggested Scott Warnon might want to look into that because

(03:10):
we have very little local reporting these days, don't we
True and she's already written out all the questions. Was
this position publicly posted? Was there a competitive process? What
were the minimum qualifications? Was criminal justice credentials required? Or
were was the role reclassified? Who else applied? What is
the start salary and who signed off? And finally, what

(03:32):
in the hell is this person going to do? What
model of violence production is this administration actually pursuing. That
is a genuinely valuable question that residents of the city
of Cincinnati might want to know. The answer to seems
to be fly by the seat of the pants piecemeal anyway,
Corey Bowman and signal ninety nine eight oh five. And
then we get Jack winsor maybe send him a text

(03:57):
right now, Joe remind him that he's going to be
out at eight thirty anyhow, Jack Windsor of the Ohio President,
We're going to talk about more students skipping school. Oh
look locally and nationally plus Ohio State professor assaults journalist
bad idea five on three seven four nine fifty five,
eight hundred and eight two three talk point five fifty
on eight, T and T phones, don't don't forget fifty

(04:18):
five krs dot com, get your podcasts, dream the audio
stream any of the iHeart media content. And of course
listen to the ihard media expert Jay Ratliffe from yesterday,
the conversation I had with Scott Wartman right there. Get
your bourbon tickets, cure cancer and maybe win thousands and
thousands of dollars of bourbon or Scotch or tequila. The

(04:41):
bourbon tickets one hundred a piece, uh Scotch tickets fifty apiece.
Tequila tickets only thirty bucks apiece. Anyhow, I don't know
how you turn three bottles of tequila into three thousand
plus dollars worth of boost, but that is the retail
prize anyway, right there, fifty five kr sea dot com
so all of it and your iHeart media app pitoting
over Yeah, North College Hill. Question about this one, because

(05:02):
we have student walkouts going all over the country. Some
are supported by the school districts themselves. Some are just
rebellious students taking their cue from social media and think
it's the right thing to do. We need to take
to the streets and scream about Ice ICE, which is
enforcing federal law. Why don't you take to the streets
and Quitno, I almost said a curse word there. Anyway,

(05:23):
I'm not running for governor anyway. I want to take
to the streets and demand a change in the law,
engage in civic advocacy. We need to change the law.
The law currently is what the ICE agents are enforcing,
federal law. Right, they've got an obligation, this is the
oath they've sworn to uphold the federal law. They're out
in the streets doing it. You don't want federal law enforced. Well,

(05:46):
what is the remedy for that? The remedy is to
appeal to your elected officials in this representative form of
government we have and ask them to change the law.
You think that's gonna happen. Of course, it's not gonna happen.
You can't get their people on Capitol Hill to do anything.
Why evil Orange Man. You know, if Donald Trump should
start advocating a change in the law, yeah, no more deportation, right,

(06:11):
and then the Democrats will rise up and say no, no,
we need Barack Obama back He was the deporter in chief.
He held firm on federal law. He was responsible for
kicking millions of the illegal immigrants out of our country. Yeah,
we used to embrace it back then, but then you know,
evil Orange Man popped up. And now since Evil Orange
Man is wants to go the opposite direction, we're now
going to go for a border enforcement and enforcement of
federal law and kicking illegal immigrants out of our country.

(06:34):
It probably would work. Now, I'm not advocating truly doing that,
but this is the world we live in, so right,
the country we live in, and the constitution suggests the
remedy for federal law enforcement. Enforcing federal law would be
to change the law. Maybe that's why they're out in
the streets frustrated over ice actually enforcing it. Anyway, So

(06:58):
this is a weird one. Locally, North College Hill students
are portably not going to be facing disciplinary action court
of the high school. North College Hill High School Superintendent
doctor Eugene Baylock Blaylock in a statement yesterday, he said
students specifically note this actions inside Kroger on Hamilton Avenue

(07:24):
do not reflect the values of the school or the community.
He said, students have a right to protest peacefully, but
no right to behave violently and put people at risk.
Wait a second, is that suggesting that the walkout itself
was okay, but the actions of twenty and thirty twenty
to thirty breakoff student protesters who went into Kroger and
got unruly, maybe you committed crimes. Are we bringing them

(07:46):
down into groups or will the principal stand up and
say no, you can't walk out of class during the
school day. And apparently about tw hundred and fifty students
did in fact walk out of class, So question is

(08:07):
a little swirling about that students who were involved in
anything that happened in Kroger and acted violently disorderly. They
definitely owe this community apology as a matter of fact,
and the parents of the community apology, the parents the

(08:29):
you know what, Something insides me think that maybe the
parents didn't even know the kids walked out of class.
And I know that had I walked out of class
when I was in high school, I would have had
a stern lecture at minimum. I can see my dad
and the words coming out of his mouth right now.
You did what you're supposed to be in class, so

(08:54):
you're not getting run down. We had a miner that
got hit by a car during of ice protests in
Palm Beach, Florida, participating in an ice protest anti ice
protest walk out be struck by a vehicle while hundreds
of students from four Palm Beach County high schools were
taking to the streets and protesting against ice. This on
the heels of Florida Commissioner of Education announcing that walkouts

(09:19):
would not be tolerated. We go over to North Carolina headline.
Horrifying footage is North Carolina high school students bolt out
of class and run across the busy four lane highway
right to protest ice. It's right there in video.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
One.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Senior, here's the future of America once senior involved in
this protest. I mean this is a highway, folks. They
got a couple of hundred folks from the ac Reynolds
High School carrying signs and channing. Here's what one had
to say, Tommy phil Yaw, senior at ac RENOTLDS High School.
We don't represent the students that are here. We represent

(10:03):
every student that can't come because they're scared or something else. Whatever,
they couldn't come here, we represent them. That's brilliance right there,
Man Shakespearean accord to the Buncolm County Schools, there was

(10:28):
a statement from the schools itself. This activity was not
organized by the school, but we respect the right of
students too peacefully and respectfully express their views. We continue
our normal school operations scheduled during this time, including maintaining
our attendance policies for students who were not in class.
What does that mean? We are supportive of the walkout.

(10:49):
We're going to maintain our attendance policies for students who
are not in class. Does that suggest there's going to
be ramifications for a couple of hundred students who left
studies to walk out and protest. But then you have
saner folks out of the world. Wilson High School Principal

(11:10):
Daniel Webber from Pennsylvania. If you go back to class,
then we're good. If you stay out here, as he
stood in front of a group of students who are
apparently waving around Mexican flags and walked out of school
to anti to protest Ice, if you go back to class,
then we're good. If you stay out here, we're gonna
get your names and you will be suspended. Okay, this

(11:34):
is your option at this point, because you were operating
outside the mounds of what was granted. And there's no
information or details in the reporting about what he means
by what was granted, but clearly the kids are standing
outside school protesting ICE and he's giving him an option.
Go back into school or you're going to be suspended.
Good said you left school without permission. Your rights do
not supersede the school. So if you understand that it's

(11:57):
your option, you want to return, doctor Demia Honey will
let you in that door over there. If not, I
we getting your names, and you'll be suspended. Okay, those
are your options, all right, your rights do not exceed
that of the school. Good and over to Virginia where
we have three hundred teens who walked out of class
yes for the purpose of protesting ice. They have been

(12:18):
issued three day suspensions. Somebody standing up to it. Woodbridge
High School principal doctor Heather Abney, in a letter to
the parents. You know, the demonstration was not backed by
Prince William County Public schools, and it went out of
the school grounds, it went onto the streets. Local police
had to get involved with crowd management. The principal note

(12:41):
the while the walkouts allows students to voice their opinions
issues that aren't important to them, leaving campus without permission
during school ours violates district rules. Good punish them. Oh
but but they're gonna have a record, They're gonna have
a blemish. They're gonna feel bad because they've been punished. Yep, right,
And you're gonna probably feel bad. When you're an ignorant

(13:02):
person and you haven't passed grade level exams to prove
that you can study at your grade level, you're gonna
be held back. Sorry, it's for your own damn good
five eighteen fifty five kr CD talk station. Bill, you
will be next. You don't mind holding for a moment.
Got a couple of words here and I'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
W KRC Cincinnati and iHeartRadio station guaranteed Human fifty five
krc D talk station.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I heard radio You ever wonder how far I need?
Oh my god, Donald Trump's improved this message. I've been triggered. Ah,
let me if you like, I'll tell you five one three,

(13:52):
seven fifty five ten eight two three to talk. I
feel Bill's got this morning. Bill, thanks for holding over
the bread there. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
Hey, Brian, how are you doing this morning? I hope
your treatments are going well.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Thank you very much. Once I got over that brain
fog from the last treatment, everything's great, feeling good. I'll
do it again next month. I got four more series
of treatments left, and that time will pass quickly. But
I appreciate it, and of course I am in a
great mood. It's Friday, man. It's just it's the reason
to smile in it of itself.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
There you go, Hey, I just wanted to make a
quick comment. They had they had those Marxist stuff there
at the North College Hill Kroger's in there, and a
man did get injured in there.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
All right, you know, I don't know if he was
older or not.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
But then at the North Bend Krogers, a person jumped
in front of another person and the people in the
line told the person to get back, including the guy
that who had the person jumping mine in front of him,
and he got he got surrounded out in the parking

(14:57):
mont at the North Bend Krogers. Because it was yesterday,
it was on Fox nineteen. Uh, and they you know,
they they heading well, Uh, unfortunately it was on your competitor.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
The other day.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Just happened to be rolling around and listening to the
radio and Ken Kolber was on there and talking about
how city councils making backdoor deals giving millions of dollars
to thug families who raise people that shouldn't even be
in our society. They should be jailed or whatever. Where

(15:34):
Where this is going to go? Where this is literally
going to go? Is he said that. Ken Colber said
that his men are pretty much down there. Uh, they
don't know what to do by the by the time
they're doing the paperwork. They're already out on bond.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh yeah, So so where this.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Is going to go is uh, people are almost going
to have to It's it's gonna come to people are
going to take things in their own hands because it
is now out of hand. It is no it's cross
the it's crossed the rubicon and it's got to end
because you, a civilized society can't have can't have this

(16:15):
Marxist behavior coming out of schools and having them show
up at Kroger's and disrupting the stuff. And what's going
to happen is gonna I'll tell you what's gonna happen
with this. They're going to get tired of it, just
like it did all out in California, and they're going
to close the crows. Oh, this one's having problems gone,

(16:36):
this one's having problems gone. You know what, Oh, they'll
do it because they're going to look at the bottom line.
They're only going to take the ones that are profitable.
And it's it's coming.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
You may be onto something that would be a prudent
business decision. If your store cannot generate income, then you
close the store. Oh my god, food desert. Maybe we
need to elect mom dommy here in the UH somewhere
in elected capacity and as mayor or maybe as a
county commissioner, and he can offer free groceries and we'll
see how that works. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
And the ones that are profitable, they they'll have, they'll have,
they'll have warm guards, don't have people out further and
they look at California.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
You your comments aren't far off the mark. California. Everything's
behind glass, locked up. You need someone from the store
to come over and put pull any item out of
a lockcase so you can walk up front and pay
for it.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Do we want to live in that world? That's the
world that's coming to us, brought to you by Yes
left his policies, right left his policies, and that revolving
door of the criminal justice system, as you know, you
point out these students, of course they were protesting. They
engaged in can throwing inside the Kroger. Probably would be
classified as a misdemeanor. We don't have time to prosecute misdemeanors.

(17:47):
These are just young, misguided kids. We don't want to
give them a record because it's kind of work follow
them for the rest of their life. We're woke, we're
following the you know, all these principles of criminal justice
which basically are too ignore criminal justice completely. Now you're right,
but is there any optimism in what your conclusions are
as dire as that would be? You mentioned we're going

(18:07):
to reach a breaking point. Der Kroger's are going to
close that kind of thing. Will this not lead people
to better choices when it comes to elected officials and
the laws that we follow. Is it not possible that
this unruly ridiculous anti societal behavior will rewake cause us
all to collectively wake up and say, you know what,
this is killing America and look who's driving it. Oh,

(18:33):
maybe we shouldn't vote for well democratic socialists or whatever
moniker they're putting on themselves to describe their outright Marxism
five point twenty seven. Right now, if you have KRCD
talk station, feel free to call five on thirty seven

Speaker 8 (19:14):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Five point thirty on a Friday, one hour from now
Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Deleted doesn't actually mean deleted,
just that statement alone. It's like, I think this should
be a given. Once it's out there, it's out there forever.
Over the local story, somebody sent a search party out
of times onto the line auditor. We go to Kentucky.
My friends in the Commonwealth. You got auditor Alison Ball

(19:36):
on the job. Oh look. Raising a few concerns about
Governor Andy Bisheer's lavish spending report came out early in
the month. Spending was identified fiscal year twenty twenty five
quote concerning expenditures close quote including almost one hundred and
eighty five thousand dollars in out of state travel costs,

(19:59):
which includes seven thousand, six hundred and thirty two dollars
for limousine in Germany. Huh. Seventeen thousand dollars.

Speaker 9 (20:11):
For a.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Dinner at a Kentucky distillery. Seventeen thousand dollars. Oh, maybe
you know, Joe, Maybe they were drinking Pappy Van Winkle's
twenty three year old, which is you know, like six
grand a bottle or something like that. If you buy
a raffle ticket at fifty five cassy dot com, you'll
help cure cancer. Maybe you'll win one of those. Anyway,

(20:36):
thirty three thousand or three hundred and sixty thousand dollars
for seventy five people to attend a two day conference
in Kentucky. H We'll say, for example, one of the
things we saw is that the governor and the Tourism
Cabinet's spend about three hundred thirty eight thousand dollars on

(20:57):
a nonprofit called First Saturday NNGO. Maybe, so for people
who are not from Kentucky, the first Saturday in May
is when the Kentucky Derby happened. So that money actually
went to VIPs to come and celebrate and observe the derby.
Free passes for VIPs. You, my friends, and the commonwealth
paid for that, fall said. The spending was entered by

(21:23):
the executive ranch into the Commonwealth, you know, computer system.
She flagged the spending as luxury items, saying, I absolutely
think the governor needs security, but we want people to
be safe. We don't want anything to happen to our
elected officials. But there's always a butt. This is the
time when you look at, Okay, are you spending an
excessive amount? And I think seven thousand dollars for limos

(21:45):
services in Germany, five thousand dollars navigate the airport in Switzerland,
hotels like in Beverly Hills asmen. We even found an
expenditure in the hundreds of dollars for something called the
Caribou Club, which is a private club asen. So these
expenses are essentially luxury items when you're looking at what
they're at, where they're at, and the money, amount of

(22:07):
money that's being paid. Okay, Basher recently talking to local media.
They never asked us any questions, and you have to
do that if it's an audit report. All they did
was take lines and they didn't ask questions because if
they'd gotten the answers, they couldn't have done all the
political attack that it was. So this is a political attack,

(22:32):
and he leads with they never asked us any questions.
I suppose at the time the expenditures were tallied up. Hey, hey,
what is this? I love the prior sentence. Though. Fox
News Digital reached out to Basher's office for comment about this,
but they didn't respond. Ah oh okay, I guess the
window for asking questions Governor Bashard has closed since I

(22:55):
please say. Dayton police arrested a second person in connection
with the robbery that ended in his shooting and a crash.
Reported the Derek Terry, who's eighteen, was arrested earlier this
week on a murder warrant related to the death of
Anthony Davis. Police said they arrested Destiny Newman of Arlington
Heights on Thursday. Last incident began February's fourth Speedway gas

(23:18):
station on Galbreth in Heartwell concluded about a minute later
in the eighty three hund block of Burns Avenue. Newman
and other suspects quote took property from the victim and
shot him with a firearm while he was driving, resulting
in the victim crashing and dying from his injuries. Close
quote that's cording the homicide of Bescers from CPD officers
found Anthony Davis at the scene suffering from the gunshot wound,

(23:38):
taking a UC Medical matter Center, and of course later
died later. Since the police called to the scene following
reports of a person shot, officers found Anthony Davis again
suffering from that wound. That's a repeat line in the article.
Apologies for reading it twice. Oh blame Fox News Digital
for that and finally writing police investigating if he a
person was found shot. They found a male victim so

(24:00):
from from a gunshot wound of Vorhees Park, taking the
UC Medical Center by mid morning yesterday, police said, then,
updating the investigation, determined the guy's gunshot wound appeared to
be self inflicted, saying there's no evidence of any potential
threat to the public. Writting. Police say that the fire
that was also reported in the area of the shooting
was not related to the shooting anyway. Five thirty five

where the police department arrested the guy in charges of
obscenity and resisting arrest. After receiving report of a naked
guy in the roadway, police respond to the intersection here
in Avenue where the complaint had been made. Police said,
the wind officers showed up, They got naked guy identified

(26:53):
as Karen Dalos Burns, standing in the parking lot near
a liquor store. Theypproached him, but he allegedly fled on
foot and then subsequently resisted the rest, which resulted in
a physical struggle with law enforcement officers. After the brief chase,
police took him into custody. He suffered minor injuries during
the confrontation, now facing charge of one kind of obscenity,

(27:16):
one kind of resisting officer with force or violence. Thankfully
none of the officers were injured. No mention of what
injury he suffered. Did you hear the ad buy there?

(27:59):
See what more here? Got arrested earlier this week after
reportedly taking a vehicle without permission, leaning on police on
a high speed chase. A PM, February sixteenth, officers on
Alton Adams Drive spotted a white Toyota speeding down the road,
overtaking multiple vehicles, and they determined it was quite reckless
his driving behavior. Police, with lights and sirens activated at

(28:21):
temp to perform a traffic stop. They were ignored, and
the driver reportedly kept increasing his speed while weaving through
traffic in an effort to escape. Officers followed the vehicle
down one other road, turned into the hospital ground area,
stopped near a business establishment. The driver, later identified as
Edward Richards, ran into a nearby bar with a human

(28:42):
and canine officer in pursuit. Bartender reportedly gestured toward the restroom.
When police came in, Richards reportedly ignored several commands leave
the restroom. After additional officers showed up, they went in
and found out that he had Yes, it's Friday. What
did he do? He took off all his clothes, he
was there completely as tradition. He continued to ignore commands

(29:02):
of the officers to get out of the bathroom, and
they reportedly lit and inhaled I'm sorry, and he reportedly
lit and hailed from what police believed to be a
crack pipe while standing in front of the police officers
doing it anyway, He took two detectives to drag naked
guy out of the restroom and put him in handcuffs.
Officers learned the vehicle's owner had left the vehicle running

(29:24):
outside of a laundromat at the mall when he went
in to the laundromat. Let's not do that of course
his car was garm when he came outside, and that's
when he called nine one one. After being arrested, Richard
charged with unauthorized used to the vehicle, reckless operation, first degree,

fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three Talk
on five fifty on AT and T phone. Joe Strecker
frustrated this morning, who.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
Do we work for?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Joe Media Company?

Speaker 9 (30:38):
Right?

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Isn't it it? Basically Joe's studio has been rendered absolutely
useless this morning. Nothing's working. Fortunately, and conveniently, someone who's
there to fix it is located in Chicago, which is
also one hour behind us time wise, which you know,
when these things pop up at five o'clock in the morning,
it's four there, and quite often there's no one there

(31:00):
up the phone. Is that characterized as biting the hand
that feeds me on some level?

Speaker 9 (31:06):
Joe?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
I don't know. Oh, okay, authorities have in Indiana, my friends.
In Indiana, authorities arrested a thirty one year old high
school secretary at Randolph Eastern School Corporation this after reported
domestic disturbance led to the discovery of alleged inappropriate relationships

(31:28):
with students. Oh, Joe, we may have an award to
give out this morning. Quartably, why are you doing that?
I have a good reason. I think I know pervert
wants to have sex with children. How's that Is that
a sufficient enough reason? I don't know if there's any
reference to Epstein in this particular article that I'm reading here.
Union City Police Department said the officers responded over the

(31:50):
weekend to a call reporting a battery in So. It
began with a woman's husband allegedly found her with an
eighteen year old student and confronted them. Shocks me. When
women teachers are engaged in sexual activity with students seems shocking,
but I guess I should probably know better by now. Anyway.

(32:10):
During the investigation, authorities say the uncovered allegations that the woman,
her name Alicia Hughes, had also engaged in a sexual
relationship with a separate student described as a seventeen year
old miner investigator's alleged who had sexual contact on at
least five occasions. Hughes arrested charge with five counts of
child seduction in connection with the alleged relationship with a
seventeen year old. Officials have not clarified whether she could

(32:32):
face additional charges related to the reported in encounter with
the eighteen year old student probably not consenting adult. Her
husband has not been publicly named, not clear whether he
will face charges in the alleged battery incident.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Court.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
In a statement, a ran Off Eastern School Corporation Superintendent
Neil Adams said Hughes has been removed from all duties
with students pending the outcome of the legal process. He
didn't provide any additional details, also saying because it's an
active criminal investigation, into protecting privacy of students, the integrity
of the process. You know, the statement from legal blah
blah blah blah, blah blah blah, no common Hughes book

(33:09):
with the Randolph Caddy jail being held on a twenty
five thousand dollars cash only bond. No additional information released
by authorities as the investigation, of course, remains ongoing. Now
here's where you know, the corollary to this one instance,
and you know, this kind of thing pops up in
the status to but kind of regularly, and it is disturbing.

(33:29):
But as this reporting from NDTV dot com says, you know,
the disturbing phenomenon of teachers engaging in illegal sexual relationship
with students is a growing concern. Accur to recent reports,
more than five hundred reported cases of teacher misconduct. This
is between twenty fourteen and twenty nineteen. How many you
think there have been since then? Nearly one in ten

(33:53):
students they say experience to some sort of some form
of sexual misconduct by an educator. And they say in
twenty twenty three alone, nearly three hundred and fifty public
educators were arrested for child sex related crimes. Now and
I go back to the whole idea of school choice,
and we should be able to choose where we go.

(34:14):
We shouldn't be stuck in any given school. This maybe
one other reason why you might want to be able
to maybe choose where your children go to school. And
I suppose this is an excellent, excellent poster child article
for homeschooling, assuming you're not inclined to molest your own children.
They say several factors are contributing the trend, increase reporting

(34:36):
and awareness. Thankfully we do have that social media facilitating
inappropriate rect interactions, but also let me guess social media
also documenting them because these idiots, these adults or molesting
children are dumb enough to record their communications with the children.
Thank you appreciate your stupidity. You made it easy for
us to prosecute you and hold you out as an
example of the to the other people who might be

(34:58):
inclined to do this. Ah also describe one of the
reasons for the breakdowns in teacher student boundaries inadequate screening
and hiring practices, insufficient teacher training on ethics and boundaries,
and also maybe the fact that you've incorporated into the
curriculum vivid and graphic discussions of sex with young children. Yes,

(35:20):
you're talking about sexual activity where you're kids when the
kids don't have the foundational information even understand what you're
talking about. Here, let's talk about what being transgender is
all about. Here, let's specifically talk about how about bisexuality.
You have to talk about sex. You're introducing children a
younger and younger age to sex. And you can say, oh, Thomas,
you know there's the internet out there, they can get

(35:42):
a hold of this. Yeah, well, some parents are good
about preventing their children from having access to the internet.
I know it's a tough world. But question whether the
school environment, with the teacher in front of the class,
who may have a predisposition to, well, I don't know,
having sex with children, you've given that person the authorization

(36:05):
to talk about sexual activity. Today, we're going to be
talking about the whole rainbow of color, LGBTQ plus and
on and on and on and on, and pretty much
each one of those requires a discussion of sexual activity.
Why because being gay means men are attracted men on
a sexual level. I love a lot of men, but

(36:26):
I don't love them sexually. It's a you know, a
brotherly love and I said all the time, love you brother.

Speaker 9 (36:31):
I mean it.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Lesbians, right, women who want to have sex with women.
Let's talk about what that means. And maybe in an
environment with someone who's I don't know, first grade, that
sets the stage. I call that grooming. In the educational environment, yeah,
I think that may have something to do with the

(36:55):
growing number. But also, let's face it, the reality of well,
we're easily recording and documenting this kind of activity will
result in more being exposed and perhaps a declination of
the number of teachers who might be inclined to molest
children that they're responsible for. Five fifty six Right now,
Tech Friday with Dave hat are coming up. Phone calls
are all welcome. Looks like CJ's on the line. Hang
on brother, love you man, Hang on brother, get your

(37:17):
call off.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
The top of the art news Today's tough headlines coming
up at the top of the hour that changes every minute.
Fifty five KRC the talk station lost at tax ree Friday.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Always happy on a Friday and wishing everyone in the
listening audience are Happy Friday, and invitation to stick around.
Bottom of the hour. Tech Friday with Dave Hat are
starting off with yeah, what you delete isn't deleted? Apparently
we got that and other topics. Fast forward in one
hour seven oh five with Dan raaganon empower used spring
semester has been released. We'll run down the topics with Dan,
Corey Bowman and Signal ninety nine at eighth five in studio.

(37:51):
Gonna love that, really really looking forward to him, and well,
of course Corey Boman, I love talking to him. But
Signal ninety nine, what amazing resource she is. She's like
top at Zinzer, except with regard to Shenanigan's matters involving
perhaps corruption. We'll see what Signal ninety nine has to say.
And Jack Windsor One More Chance with Jack, editor in
chief of the How Press Network. We're talking about students

(38:12):
skipping school to protest. Got that going on here, It's
across this country. Do they approve of the protest or
do we have good at school principles saying no, you're
going to be suspended. There are those out there. I
mentioned some of those in the last hour. That's the
position I think it needs to be taken. What are
your children doing in school? Do you know whether they've
left school, walked out? And standing out in the middle
of the street, perhaps walking in traffic or in one

(38:32):
particular case, running across a four lane highway with the
protest sign. I wouldn't abide anyway. Plus the Ohio state
professor assaulted a journalist. Those are the topics with Jack
Windsor five one, three, seven, nine, fifty five hundred and
eight two to three talk pound five fifty on eight
and t phone Ceja. Thanks for holding over the commercial
break there, welcome to the program.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Oh, thank you, And just to continue on on education there.
You were talking yesterday about forcing students to meet mastery
before from and age promotion, and that was an issue
I dealt with before I became a teacher with my
son because he had this. He literally met the year
of school due to brain tumor and seizures and stuff
like that, and they forced him in California to go

(39:13):
back exactly into the grade he should have been in
by age, not by competency, because he had lost a
full year and the seizures had really messed with his mind.
He was able to come back and relearn it through
special education, but he really should have been held back
a year because of the fact that he had lost

(39:35):
a full year of school number one and number two.
If you take a look at what's happening in down
in Louisiana and also in Mississippi. It used to be
that the only place he could get a worse education
than Kentucky and them joking was Mississippi.

Speaker 6 (39:54):
Period.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
They were, you know, fifty second out of fifty states
and education horrible. But they made a drastic change.

Speaker 9 (40:02):
They said, if you can.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
No longer read at a third grade level, you should
not be in the fourth grade.

Speaker 9 (40:07):
And what that did parents?

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Sim believe them. They held firm on it. And guess
what has happened in a matter of less than five
years in Mississippi.

Speaker 9 (40:15):
With education, They.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Turned around the depressed scores. Kids can now read yet.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
It is they are now a top five state in
this country in education and its mass scorers and reading scores.
All because kids are willing to do whatever you demand
of them. All you gotta do is watch them play
a video game. They don't play video games because they win.
They play video games because they lose. They want the challenge,

(40:45):
They want to be challenged. And this whole concept of
we're going to meet you where you're at does nothing
good for society and is really bad for these kids
because they have no ability to learn how to suffer,
how to struggle, and how to overcome. Okay, overcoming only
comes from suffering.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
That concept of not allowing a kid to move forward
unless they've mastered the skills of that grade. What a
revolutionary concept. And oh look now we have, as CJ's
pointed out, an objectively a demonstrative proof of that if
we hold them back and force them to read at
grade level, things will improve, and things did improve. Question,

(41:29):
what is the motivation for moving a kid forward when
they have not mastered the skills? What possible good can
it do to anyone society the child specifically? What is
the reason that is articulated for not allowing that very
common sense approach to be taken across the country. What
do you hear from the other side who is advocating
for letting kids who haven't mastered the school at the

(41:50):
grade level to go forward? What backcrap and sane concept?
Where does it come from? And how do you support it?

Speaker 5 (41:56):
CJ?

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Have you ever heard anybody that the only thing I've
ever heard is all poor Johnny. He's gonna be isolated,
he's gonna feel bad because well, he didn't study in
third grade or whatever. Okay, he'll get over it.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
And as a high school teacher. As a high school teacher,
I can tell you a lot of the teachers that
I work with feel the same exact way I do.
Is like what are And it's not just from within
the district I work in. Then you get a lot
of kids to move in from other districts and stuff
like that.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
Where did we get to this.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Point where we're just moving kids through elementary school just
to move them through and without them learning how to read?
And let me tell you something.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
You want to.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Embarrass a parent into forcing their kids to do homework.
You want to embarrass a child into doing homework, and
sometimes you got to do that to people, make them fail.
Failure is the best learning experience in life about I
have to work hard in order.

Speaker 9 (42:48):
To be successful.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
It's a genuine Failure is.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Not a bad thing. No, it's Nailure is not a
bad thing.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
You know, that's an excellent point.

Speaker 5 (42:56):
CJ.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Failure is not a bad thing, and bad things happening
with not bad things. And I look back on my
life see Jesus an illustration everybody should do this. Think
of the bad things that happened to you. Oh my god,
I broke up with so and so. I was devastated.
Oh my god, I did this. I made a mistake.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
Did that?

Speaker 1 (43:08):
You probably learn more from that than you did from
anything else. And don't do it again. How is it
that you ended up in a bad situation? What conduct
led you there?

Speaker 5 (43:17):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Maybe I shouldn't do that again. It's a learning experience
and you got to suffer through it and come out
the other side better. It's a building block life experience.
We try to tell children that their poop doesn't smell,
everyone deserves a trophy, everyone is exactly the same, and
blah blah blah. It's all nonsense, absolute nonsense. And you
know what I'm looking for, is you know it's that

(43:41):
hold nefarious or stupid of the people that push these
policies just absolutely stupid themselves. Or is there something more
to farious going on? What do stupid people do?

Speaker 9 (43:50):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (43:51):
What is a breakdown in the education system where you
do move people forward and you put give them a
college or a high school diploma when they can't perform
even at an eighth grade level and reading of mathematics.
What possible good can that do? What can't? What you
have set that person up for is dependence and you
probably have fed them that whole class warfare. Evil, greedy?

(44:14):
You know they're evil, they're rich, they're successful. How do
they do that? It must be an inequitable system. It
must be racism. There's no reason why I should be
poor and stupid. It must be the evil rich people. Huh.
Or maybe an education system let you move forward in
advanced grade wise without advancing intellectually. Ah is the nefarious

(44:37):
component behind this? If it is indeed nefarious, the goal
of setting up people for failures, so they must turn
to the government, who's gonna save them from themselves? What
it was the very government that set them up with
the education system that allowed them to become stupid or
well maintain stupidity, huh, dumbing down everyone. And equally, look

(45:00):
what's going on in New York with mom dummy he
gets rid of the gifted program. If you're a part
of his student is not in the gifted program. You
made like I wish my son was in the gifted program.
I understand that desire, But if the son or daughter
in the case, maybe he does not have the intellectual
skill sets. Maybe genetic, maybe otherwise.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
But if they're not reading or capable of performing on
a gifted level, they're not going to make it any
the gifted program. I for one, am happy there is
a gifted program out there for somebody, because those are
the people gonna save us. The smart people usually do.
The smart people go up and create businesses and industries.
Look at Google, look at Apple, Look at all the
different companies out there that are started by smart people. Hey,

(45:39):
one of the candidates for governor of the state of Ohio,
Viva Gramaswami, a wildly successful, brilliant business man. What did
he do with his intellect? He built businesses, and he
hired people, and he made millions, if not billions of dollars.
I want people like that in society. We should foster
and encourage those brilliant people. We should just do everything
we can in our capacity to help them to seed

(46:03):
and then we can all benefit from it, says Brian Thomas,
w two employee his entire life. Yeah, I've been thankful
for those who've employed me. As much as I might
have disagreed with some of the decisions they've made like
everybody does. I and my family have reaped the benefits
of people who have gone before me and built things

(46:24):
that required workers. Me included six fifteen fifty abou KRCY
talk station. Jamie, I promise I will get your call
right out of the gate from fifty five KRC talk station,
six fifty five kr CD talk station. I'd dearly love

(46:47):
my Fridays. David him at you please give my regards
to my dad. Miss my dad happeningly happy, heavenly Friday too,
my Dad. Let's go to the phones, I promise, Jamie,
right out of the gate. Jamie, thanks for holding over
the break.

Speaker 10 (47:04):
Welcome back, Thanks Brian, Good morning.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
You are Jamie. Real quick here hold on you are
you're the Monasory school teacher or owner?

Speaker 9 (47:13):
Right?

Speaker 8 (47:15):
I am?

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Okay. I when I saw your name up there in
the subject matter of the Joe put up a school
choice and go Jamie, she's the one that runs a
monastery school, right, And Joe's like, yeah, that's hers, so cool, cool, cool,
perfect timing, Jamie, welcome back.

Speaker 10 (47:27):
Yeah, thank you so much. Your last caller was spot on,
and I just had three quick points. One is the
system as it's currently set up, unfortunately, is not you know,
able to serve the individual needs of the students. There are,
of course, amazing teachers who go above and beyond, and

(47:47):
we've all had them throughout the years, but the system
is leaving a lot of kids behind who might need
accelerated work or work, like the last caller said, remedial
work for whatever reason. But your question about thefariest things
going on is a true one, because it doesn't seem
that they're actually willing to be considering what can be changed.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
So that is a problem.

Speaker 10 (48:10):
They're not seeing the writing on the wall, or they
don't want to. They just keep on trucking and sort
of pretending like things are going great. The other thing
is we need to be rethinking early childhood education. There's
a lot of things that we can be doing in
the three to six year old range that prepare kids
to go into the school setting and be ready to learn.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Reading to them, right, Jamie to them. Yeah, we read
to our children like from the moment they were born,
and you sit on your lap, you got a little
baby there, you can read to them. They hear your voice.
They're not comprehending the words necessarily but it's the foundation
for speech. And then when they got a little bit older,
then you're following the words you're pointing out in the
little picture book. Look, there's Alma with a shell. Where's

(48:54):
the shell? The kid points at the shell. They've learned
a word. They associated with the word that's in front
of them. That's how we taught our kids read. My
son was reading Tolkien by the time he was seven
years old. It can be done. Yeah, it's not rocket science, really, Jamie.
It just takes some parental involvement and concern. Yes, you
are the foundation for education and it starts right out

(49:15):
of the womb. Amen, I mean it is.

Speaker 10 (49:18):
It's not rocket science. I tell my husband all the time.
My school is very simple and very basic, and there
is a child development, brain development that we can be following.
We know what's going to be happening. We know when
children begin to talk, we know when they start to walk,
We know all these things. So we need to align
what we're offering them in terms of learning. We need

(49:40):
to provide the environments to do that. But the other
plug I wanted to give, I don't know if anyone
out there has Angel studios. There is a really good
documentary called The Death of Recess, and it's very well
done and gives kind of the holistic picture of the
history of you know, schooling in America. It's a little

(50:02):
bit depressing, to be honest, but it was very well done.
And it also highlights a lot of amazing schools that
are popping up, you know, to offer alternative ways for
kids to be learning.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
So if anybody wants to check that out, Yeah, and Jamie,
isn't it a wonderful thing to behold it? I think
the reason we are witnessing this great expansion in multiple
states across this great land for school choice is because
people see this reality for what it is. If they're
passing children who haven't mastered the grade level and moving

(50:34):
them on and rendering them well, just pointless in the
final analysis, that's a broken system. I want to get
out of it. And that appeal has to go across
party line. Do you want a dumb kid at high
school age or do you want a smart one? Republican Democrats,
Socialist Marxists all agree they'd rather have a smart kid.

Speaker 9 (50:52):
You know.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Let's go over to the Jais Montassory School. Maybe there's
a better path there and to all those teachers out there,
and I agree with you, Jamie, there are a whole
bunch of people out there there that went into education
because they wanted to help children advance. They want society
to do well. They are stuck in a system that's broken.

Speaker 9 (51:06):
What what?

Speaker 1 (51:07):
How did we come about and end up with a
system that, it seems to be across the board universally
embraced that we will move children forward in spite of
the fact they haven't mastered the content. The colleges now
offer remedial learning classes to teach college level kids what
they should have learned in high school. That this system
has been allowed to be put in place in spite

(51:27):
of the fact of all these wonderful educators out there
who know it's a broken system. How is it brought about?
It's school boards?

Speaker 9 (51:34):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Who did this? Is a DEI I don't know, but
I just know that that's where we're That's how we
got here. And what I'm seeing is a great awakening
in the American public and a demand for educational alternatives
and an embracing of even you know, teaching your children
at home, homeschooling. So we're moving in the right direction. Jamie,

(51:55):
thanks to people like you and everyone else sort of
waking up to the sad, pathetic reality of the entrench woke.
I think maybe the center of the problem here. We
don't need woke in education. We need education and education
and quit using up valuable school hours to go out
in protest and engage in political activity and learn about
sex when you're well in first grade. Love you, Jamie,

(52:17):
keep up the great work. You're an inspiration to a
lot of people out there. Six twenty five. Right now
fifty five KRC detalk station, talkstation six point thirty on
a Friday, and they happy with you. Right time to
be tuned into the fifty five KRC Morning Show. It's
appointment listening time. Brought to you by Intrust. It found
on line at Interust dot com corner the business Curer.

(52:38):
They are the absolute best in the business when it
comes to computers and business related computer needs, security, best practices,
setting up systems, digging you out of the hole you
dug yourself in because you didn't pay attention to what
Dave Hatter tells us every Friday. Welcome back, Dave Hatter,
appreciate you doing this every week.

Speaker 9 (52:54):
Yeah, always my pleasure Brian. You know, as I say
all to you all the time, I hope we're doing
some good out there. Are winding up on these topics.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
If you save one person from the devastating mistakes that
so many people make online, you have done a great
service to society. If people choose to not heed your advice,
well I think you give them an indication of what's coming.
And this one shocked me, and not not at all
the the the the rundown says deleted doesn't actually mean deleted.

(53:22):
And I've always said, and this comes from a person
with back basically zero computer experience or knowledge. Uh if
if you if you post anything, it's out there literally forever.
You can't unring the internet bell.

Speaker 9 (53:36):
That's pretty much true. But it's even broader than that, Brian.
So you know this, this this sad Nancy Guthrie case
has brought several things to light, which I'm hoping is
making people wake up to something you and I have
talked about literally for more than a decade, concerned around
the Internet of things aka smart device at store, bell

(53:57):
burn if that's TV's cars what right?

Speaker 1 (54:00):
And Pacemaker too apparently?

Speaker 9 (54:03):
Uh yeah, well, I mean, let's let's put it this way.
If you have a device that can connect to the Internet,
then it's at least smart ish. Okay, you know it
can send and receive data. It's collecting some kind of
data certainly, or what would its point be, right, It's
got software in it. And as I've tried to explain
to people for a long time, I'm not inherently against

(54:24):
this stuff. What I'm really against is most people see
the convenience, the potential convenience and or coolness factor of
these things and just go buy stuff. They don't know
where it came from. Most of it came from China.
They don't really understand that the software inside it is
usually not very good, is not geared towards your privacy
and security, needs to be updated, and is probably not

(54:48):
configured correctly out of the box. That these companies have
a goal of speed to market, market share, needs of use,
not protecting your privacy and security, and ultimately collecting as
much of your data pop wile to monetize it, to
sell it to other companies, et cetera. So, as a consumer,
while these things seem cool and seem to provide some
meanings for you, they're typically not geared to your interest whatsoever.

(55:13):
Some would argue it's a privacy and security guster fire.
I would do one of those people who would argue that,
and very smart people like nichol Opone and a well
known cybersecurity expert has written a book called If It's Smart,
It's Vulnerable. So you got the security problem and then
you've got the privacy problem. We've talked about the cameras,
the microphones, when is it listening? You have access that
data to this. This Nest situation with Nancy Guffrick Perk

(55:36):
shows that rips the Nest camera off the off the
door they have. They find video of this, and that's
the trick. Right at first they said, well she didn't
have a subscription and we don't have access, there's no data.
Then the FBI gets involved and finds, like ten days later,
wait a minute, we found some video. And the first
question I got asked by people was well, how do
they do this? Dave, I'm like, well, I don't know.
I don't think about a Nest camera because shockingly, you know,

(55:59):
I don't have any ring doorbells, et cetera. So my
first thought was, well, okay, the camera probably has some
kind of on device storage, so that if your Wi
Fi connection goes down, for example, it could store that
data temporarily and then send it to Amazon's cloud. But
I want to to Google's cloud. I want to remind
people if you have a device that can stream video,

(56:22):
unless you are very technically sophisticated and know how to
set something like this up there stuff it's definitely going
to somebody's cloud, at least for some period of time.
So then you dig into it and find out the
next cameras work a little differently than most of the rest.
They're always storing stuff for at least the short period
of time. Even if you don't pay for the subscription,
you may not be able to access it, but they can.

(56:43):
But the real trick, Brian and I know we're about
out of time. The real trick is they theoretically delete
this data. Now you mentioned the cloud, but I want
to explain something real quick to people. When you delete
something on visually any digital device you can think of,
it is not physically removed from the device of the device.
The space that it used to occupy could be a
word document and Excel spreadsheet and video and MP three file,

(57:06):
whatever it is. It's telling that device the space that
it used to occupy is now available and un less
than until it's overwritten, it's still just sitting there right now.
If you don't have to have a skill to recover
something that was quote deleted unquote. Now if you overwrite it,
and there are tools to do this, there are standards
to quote purge data, okay, because deleting it does not

(57:29):
get rid of it. Overwriting it once trivial Totever, if
you know what you're doing, you may have to overwrite it,
per the government, as many as twenty two times. But
when you think, yeah, when you think you're deleting something,
it's still there, as has been illustrated by this. So
this isn't just your personal computer, your phone. It's stuff
out in the cloud. To mention, how many different out

(57:51):
switches a server that did if we're it ended wherever
it was when they recovered. So the point is these
devices are not your friends, and you're not really deleting
things unless you are very sophisticated. Isn't it what you're doing?
Or you destroy the device.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Indeed, folks got to wake up.

Speaker 9 (58:08):
This got to wake up folks. The less ended everything's.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Devices you have, the better something to contemplate as you
use your Internet connected marital aid. Apparently those are out there,
let's not let's go, Yes they are. Dave had her back, apparently,
as senior scams are all the rages these days. Got
a story about an eighty two year old got scam.
We'll do that coming at next and then we'll talk
station six forty if if you got KCD talk station.

(58:33):
Dave had her find Dave and his company and his
team to help you with your business computer needs at
interest it dot com. So I just weep for the seniors,
and I think of my mom struggling with technology. Dave
had her, and you know, I love my mom, and
I understand where she's at.

Speaker 9 (58:48):
I is.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
I find it very difficult to keep up with modern
technology as well, and I follow your advice. I use
very little of it, you know, forget the apps, forget
the crap. I've lived my life without most of that.
But what a great vehicle they are for scamming people,
most notably seniors who are really pretty much out of
their element.

Speaker 9 (59:05):
Yeah, you're sadly exactly right, Brian, And this is a
tragic story. First off, I have a lot of respect
for this woman who came forward and told this story,
because you know, I talk about this stuff pretty much
every day with businesses of all shapes and sizes, trying
to get them to take this stuff seriously, because you
know what interest Our goal is to make your ensure

(59:26):
your environment is productive, right. You got to be able
to work, You got to be able to do what
you need to do. So that's the key thing. It's
not just about security, it's productivity.

Speaker 5 (59:35):
It's resilience.

Speaker 9 (59:36):
So if and when something bad does happen, doesn't have
to be a cyber attack. Things die, right that every
one of your listening audiences has lost date at some point,
and then secure. Those are the three key things we're
trying to focus on, and we're trying to do it
in a quick, friendly way. So all that said, I'm
talking to people all the time about this, and so
many guests don't take it seriously. They think it will

(59:57):
never happen to them. They don't realize how sophisticated the
scammers are, not necessarily from a technological standpoint, which they
are in some cases, but so much of this is
these are just professional con artists who are using the
tools that are available booth to get to people and
then fool people. Right, they're using social engineering to trick them.
They're creating an urgency, and thankfully for them, because you

(01:00:22):
have access to people now, whether it's email, text, messages,
social media, chat apps, video games, et cetera. They go
where people are right. So again, I got a lot
of respect for this woman to come forward and tell
her tale, because I think it's much more compelling to
hear from someone that's happened to than old Doomsday Day
with his tuboical hat, just telling you this might happen
to you. Right exactly, this will lost almost two hundred

(01:00:45):
thousand dollars, and I'm reading directly from the article. Eighty
two year old grandmother lost nearly two hundred thousand dollars
after scammers use an AI generated deep fake of a
doctor to confense her to convert her retirement savings to cryptocurrency.
So she followed some doc sure I never heard of.
She saw something online, reaches out and then the scammers again,

(01:01:08):
I can ignore online right now and create a Facebook
profile and claim to beat when I want. Right, you
see that, you think you're dealing with the real person.
And this has happened many times. People have been scammed
by celebrities quote unquote, So now I'm the scammer. You've
reached out to me, and I use deep fake tools
to create video and audio that appears to be this

(01:01:31):
person easily done, especially if that person's a celebrity. And
I like to remind people, if you have a voicemail greeting,
I can call your phone, record your voicemail greeting, and
use free tools to clone your voice in about fifteen minutes.
I have done this numerous times, including for a reporter
out of a station in Columbus came down. Yeah, and

(01:01:54):
we literally, I'll send you the link.

Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
Mind.

Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
We literally called his phone, recorded his voicemail greeting, and
then you can watch in the interview how we turn
his voice into me typing on the keyboard and saying
whatever I wanted to say is him. This is real, folks,
So again this woman, go.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
Ahead, No, it's going to remind you about the secure word.
You're like my mom, like going back to my mom.
We have a password if I ever receive a phone
call from my mom, and middle to I talked about
how she's in desperate help, Oh my god, something we
got to go and give me a gift card or
whatever scam they're going to use. That way, what's the password?
No artificial intelligence is going to be able to know

(01:02:31):
what the specific password you orally establish with your loved
ones is. So start with that and you know, if
they can't answer the question, then hang up.

Speaker 9 (01:02:39):
Healthy does the skepticism. And for your family and for
like senior executives in your company, for people that have
access to money, you should definitely have some kind of
password or passphrase that's only known between the people, so
that when you start talking to one of these scammers
using one of these tools, whether they leave you a voicemail,
where do they try and do it real time? And
another tell for this, if you're talking to a scam

(01:03:01):
or using some kind of deep bake tool to close
someone's voice, you may get a weird pause because they
have to type in what they want to respond with
and wait for it to generate. That concept, So if
you asked me a question and I don't respond for
like four or five seconds every time your kitting scammed
or there's some kind of network, but let me last
before a round of times. So Malek, this individual who

(01:03:22):
got scammed, hope the investment would secure the future per
autistic grandson and significantly increase of money and trusted doctor
Corey this person. Then it goes on to say, now,
this is a direct quote from the article. I've really
respected doctor Corey for a long time, and it was
apparently an AI, which I don't understand that much about
Malek said, but it was him talking, and he was

(01:03:44):
recommending a way to increase my money using crypto uncooked.
So this is the scam individual the victim explaining exactly
what happened, She says, there was a video of him talking.
It was obviously AI, and I don't know how that works,
but I believed it and I fell for it, and
I have nobody to blame but myself. Well, so again, yeah,
she basically lost all her money and I just I

(01:04:06):
cannot truss enough cloak this stuff is real. Again, I
will end today's show notes postal link to that interview
again with the reporter from Columbus, so people can see
for themselves how real this is. You're right, Brian, password, passphrase,
whatever you call it, the secret only known between your
key people, skepticism and it. But it's getting harder and

(01:04:29):
harder to tell looking at a video or an audio,
listening to an audio, if it's real or not. The
quality of these things continues to go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
Up spring from the proposition that what you were looking
at or hearing is fake. Start there and then work
backward until you so you can establish that it's real.
So default mechanism, skepticism, cynicism, fake, learned something every day
with you, Dave hammered at home Man every single week.

Speaker 9 (01:04:56):
Trust but Verify is gone now it's Verify.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Right, don't go away. They're doing it at scale. Another
reason how it's become so easy to do all this. Yes,
there are seven eight billion people in the world, but no,
you will be the target of a scammer. Six forty
seven PRESTIESE Interiors. You're not being scamm when you're dealing
with J six to fifty one I fifty five KRCD
Talk Station Tech Fridday with Dave hat or one more

(01:05:22):
segment here to talk about industrial scale deep fake fraud's happening.
But you mentioned checking out the materials that he uses
in connection with this, and as well as stuff throughout
the week that Dave posts. The place you go for
that LinkedIn dot com. LinkedIn dot com just type in
Dave hatter and you will certainly run into him right there.
So we've got inexpensive and easy to deploy at scale.

(01:05:42):
Apparently no longer required a great technical and computer experience
to do a deep fake. Anybody can do it, Dave.

Speaker 9 (01:05:49):
Unfortunately, Brian, that is exactly right. This is a great book.
Into the last story about the woman who lost a
bunch of money too want to be stamped. Yes, unfortunately,
is not novel at this point. It's happening all the time,
and that's really what this story from the Guardian gets at.
And as I mentioned in that last segment, so in
my show notes, I'll post a link to that interview
I did with Steve Levine from Columbus where we literally

(01:06:11):
cloned his voice using a voicemail greeting.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
From his phone.

Speaker 9 (01:06:14):
So the Guardian says, ai content for scams can be
targeted individuals and produced by pretty much anybody. Researchers say so,
I'm reading directly from the article, and they say, you know,
deep fake is fraud as going industrial tools to create
tailor even personalized scan letting for example, deep sake videos
sweeps journalists or the President of Cyprus are no longer niche.

(01:06:35):
But inexpensive, easy to deploy at scale, said the analyst.
So let me again. I have done several of these now,
just to demonstrate this. Did one with John Mattres here
in town, did one es sue, one with Fox nineteen,
one with ABC six out of Columbus. And here's the
bottom line, Brian, And every one of these cases I

(01:06:57):
went out, especially the first time with John Mattei's literally
went out after he said, let's do this thing and
you and I can try this if you want. I
just went and did a search and found a site
that claimed to be able to do this. Never done
it before, had zero experience with this, found a site
that claimed to do it, created an account, played with
a little bit. John shows up, he had to read
a sentence to train the model, and then you can

(01:07:19):
literally watch me type and his voice come out of
my speakers. But I was over two years ago, not
that great. And again it's just audio. We did not
try to do videos. Okay, So fast forward to this
last time I did this with ABC six out of Columbus.
Like I say, the reporter shows up, he gives me
a cell phone number. I call his cell phone, I record,

(01:07:41):
literally put his phone on a desk, turned my computer on,
hit record, I record his voice from his cell phone.
I upload that into a different tool that claims to
be able to do this, but I also had not
used before and did not spend any money on, and
within thirty minutes you can watch me type and his
voice come out of my speakers.

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
Yeah, this is trivially easy.

Speaker 9 (01:08:01):
Now, what they're trying to get out of the article
is the hackers have access to much better tools than
the free things I'm using. You know, would you pay
let's say, one hundred bucks a month to have access
to a much better tool with much higher capabilities if
you could scam ten thousand dollars a day out of people,
or get once a week two hundred thousand dollars hit
like on this poor woman who lost her life savings.

(01:08:23):
So I'm saying, you know, in many cases, they may
even be paying for this stuff to get access to
better tools. Now, think of all the data that has
been stolen, the leaked about you. I keep trying to
bring this back to people, all these devices collecting your data,
all of the people who are willingly uploilding their data
all over the place to these apps and the Internet
of things devices and say something along the lines of

(01:08:45):
I don't care about privacy, I have nothing to worry about. Fine. Great,
you probably don't understand surveillance capitalism or surveillance pricing, where
your prices are changed based on the profiles of data
these companies have about you. But when your data gets
leaked and you get one of those data breach notices,
think of all the data that might be capture recked you,

(01:09:06):
especially from a background check company like National Public Data
that lost two billion records. I know so much about you.
If I had access to a background check, I could
easily craft very very detailed and very very authentic appearing emails,
text messages, or deep fake voice calls and deep fake

(01:09:26):
video targeted at you. It's not just this sounds like
your son's voice or your boss's voice, or your spouse's
voice or whatever. They know things about you that theoretically
only that person would know, because your data has been
stolen and leaked, and they're using it to amp up
the social engineering and convince you that what you're seeing
or hearing is legit. Does this make sense what I'm saying,

(01:09:48):
Brian to that don't think people connect these dots and
it's the key part of this. It's not just the
capability of these tools, it's they now have all of
this data to feed into it, to create things that
unless you're aware of this, why would you question it?

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
Right? No, it's coming through loud and clear as it
always does, Dave. That's why I always say, you know,
you've got to pay attention to what you say every week.
I mean you you spell it out and very easy
to understand, simplistic terms. And who hasn't gotten to notice
about some of their data being leaked on the internet.
And I've had my email and my home address, you know,

(01:10:25):
I got LifeLock and it let me know every time
somebody in the dark webs posted information about me like
lo and behold, gee, how difficult is it to figure
out where Thomas lives? Those online auditors sites that can
help you help you do that, and a lot more
data being stolen out there and posted every place self,
So heed what Dave says LinkedIn dot com.

Speaker 9 (01:10:46):
I hate to be the dings day guy. No, it's real,
it's and they're not.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
A doomsday guy. You're just spelling out reality, Dave.

Speaker 9 (01:10:53):
I know we're out of time, but to the end
of the LinkedIn is great. The piment their ex I
also repeated the substack account. But I try to start
writing more about this stuff, not just sharing other people's stuff,
but trying to focus in on some of this stuff.
So I'll post it on LinkedIn and act appreciate. It's
easy to find and trying to help folks, So keep
it up.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Day appreciate you're doing us all a great service. Thanks
for your time today. Have a great weekend. Brother six
fifty seven. It's seven six b KEROSD talk station. It's Friday.
I always happy on a Friday, and I'm always even
happier when I see Dan Ragnold on the Rundown, the
man who is response Before empower You classes, the seminars

(01:11:34):
they offer every year Power Youamerica dot orgers where you
find the whole rundown. We're going to go through that rundown.
Welcome back, my dear friend. I'm going to thank you
from the bottom of my heart. These classes are absolutely amazing,
and I love the variety. You know, you could have
done it just all political or you know, all things
like that, but it's just this whole host of different
topics and you enjoy these wonderful classes. People can log
in from home and watch them or show up at

(01:11:55):
empower You some of our studios. It's just a great thing.
And Dan REAGANLLL so thank you at the outset and
let's walk on into a brand new seminar. This is
the thirty first semester.

Speaker 11 (01:12:07):
Thirty first thirty one semesters while fifteen and a half
years we're just so I'm just so appreciative to you
and Joe for helping us get the word out about
these free classes that we offer on Tuesday and Thursday
nights during our semester.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
And it's so easy.

Speaker 11 (01:12:22):
You just sign up and empower Youamerica dot org and
you can come and visit us at our studio at
Scarlett Oaks, which is an incredible facility, thanks to Harry
Snyder there for letting us put our classes on or
if you don't feel like getting out, you can just
watch them from your computer and it's almost perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Well, and the other great thing is I just rediscovered
because it just had gone off on my radar that
the prior classes that you have empower You classes you
can rewatch or watch for the first time on the
website as well.

Speaker 11 (01:12:54):
Yeah, I mean time. Let's face that, everybody is so
time crunch, but you can just if you can't make
an important clus, you just rewatch it. You can rewatch
it right on the website, or you can go to
Rumble or YouTube and watch it and everything's free. And
you're right. We have got just a great, a great
series of classes coming up and they start next Thursday night.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
You want to go through the schedule, Brian, Absolutely, so
next Thursday, February twenty six, seven pms the start time
for most all of them unless indicated otherwise.

Speaker 6 (01:13:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:13:26):
Mike Moser, Yeah, Mike Mozer, who's a prosecutor from Butler
County and he I can't wait to meet him. He's
written two fiction books on crime, and let's say is
that true crime is all we hear about in the
news right now with the Nancy Guthrie case and everything.
But what he's going to talk about is what it's
like to prosecute a case and how hard it is

(01:13:47):
thank you get it through the court system. So he
should be great.

Speaker 9 (01:13:51):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
I think I just brought that up the other day
in connection with that kidnapping case, which has kind of
troubled me because seemingly every single law enforcement resource in
the world has been committed to that one. And I
think about all the unsolved cases and all the work
police officers have to do day in and day out,
and prosecutors to prosecute someone. It is a ton of work.

Speaker 11 (01:14:10):
Yeah, I can't imagine. I can't imagine what it must
be like, all the discovery and all that stuff that
you've got to do to make it right. But yeah,
and then the next class after that, just a few
days later, Tuesday, Marched the second, we're going to start
our America at two fifty series of a few classes
we're doing, Brian, I'm going to talk about one of
my favorite presidents, Teddy Roosevelt. Oh, that should be great

(01:14:31):
and just what I hope to teach people if you'll
join me that night, is the spirit of this twenty
sixth president. And just like all great presidents, they have
their great things and their flaws. But we'll talk about
what he did. He is the president behind the Panama Canal,
and we'll talk about his similarities to Trump. There are many,

(01:14:55):
and amazingly his clear thoughts on immigration, and I just
hope people will join me that night on March second.
A couple of days after that. Uh well, Brian, my
wife won't even let me go to the grocery store
because the prices are so high, because because I'm not
good with coupons. You know, I'm just not very talented.
But we're going to have in a rancher who's going

(01:15:15):
to try to walk us through this this mess with
beef prices, oh wow, and just why they're so high.
And uh, he's going to talk about what it's like
at his end, and uh and and and just just
just where we're at with that whole thing. And and
also we've got somebody new that night, who's Michelle Starr,
who's going to come in and talk about how to
dissect utility bills and how to act on them, which

(01:15:38):
I thought be useful to people.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
I don't think Duke is going to be real happy
about that.

Speaker 9 (01:15:45):
Probably not.

Speaker 11 (01:15:47):
Yeah, and you know, energy bills with these data centers
which we're going to talk about. We've got a few
classes on data centers. I mean, they just become more
and more important because things are just getting out of hands.
So on March tenth, I just can't wait, Brian, this
is another America at two to fifty class. We're having
Professor Scott Gerber, he's the professor. I don't know if
you remember this story from Ohio Northern University that one

(01:16:11):
day the Ohio Northern police walked in removed him from
his class because he hadn't followed some DEI initiative, and
he started a lawsuit against the Ohio Northern University to
defend his professorship, and the Alliance for Defending Freedom came
in took his case and he won. And what he's

(01:16:32):
going to talk about is just he's going to explain
to people the importance and sometimes it's easy to kind
of confuse the Declaration and the Constitution. He's going to
explain the importance of the Declaration of Independence at this
important time of America at two fifty. It should be
a great class absolutely for all the concealed carry people.
Bob Jewele will be with us March twelfth. He's going

(01:16:54):
to talk about really conceal carry at twenty years, what's
changed and what you if you're a gun owner, you
might need to be concerned about you if you're if
you're if you're carrying a firearm. And we always love
to have education about firearms, firearm training for our attendees.

(01:17:15):
On three seventeen, We're going to have a group in Brian.
I know you're going to like this, the Institute for Justice.
These people are public interest attorneys and Brian. In two
thousand and three, which seems forever ago, these people came
into Evendale where my business was being threatened with eminent domain,
and they helped me kick that out of Evendale, and

(01:17:36):
then they immediately went down to Norwood and helped all
the owners that were fighting eminent domain in Rookwood around
Rookwood Commons. And what they're going to talk about that
night is they're going to be talking about talking about
this proliferation of these flock cameras that are really just
taking pictures of people at every corner of their lives

(01:17:56):
and really infringing on people's Fourth Amendment rights.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
Well, we are living nineteen eighty four, Dan, it's so skar.

Speaker 11 (01:18:04):
Yeah, it's just you can't get away from them. And
the Institute's can talk about a case they've taken up
against the city for all these cameras, and and really
I think they're going to paint a picture for what
other cities can do if they want to fight back.
Three nineteen we're going to have the Jesse Owens story.
John Kersey will join us and talk to us about

(01:18:25):
the incredible Jesse Owens at the nineteen thirty six Olympic Games,
the four gold medals, the fight with Hitler, and yeah,
what better, what better time?

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
I don't know, that's a great story. That's a great story.

Speaker 11 (01:18:39):
Did you happen to see the women's any of the
women's hockey match yesterday?

Speaker 9 (01:18:42):
Brian?

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Only the highlights after the match. Amazing victory last minute
apparently they scored a goal.

Speaker 11 (01:18:49):
It was a thriller. Breit Bark joins us on three
twenty four to discuss technology and AI. Oh yeah, it
should be should be, should be great and uh, let's
face it, we gotta we got to talk more about
AI and uh. On three twenty five, Tom Haggard or
we'll talk about socialism de.

Speaker 9 (01:19:07):
E I E. S.

Speaker 11 (01:19:08):
G and and kind of what's changed. And uh, we'll
also have one of your frequent guests, I believe, Adam Kohler,
who will discuss his work with his new work with
the news outlet the Cincinnati Exchange, which is which is
really uh interesting, what he's done.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
March thirty is a brilliant man. He really doesn't.

Speaker 11 (01:19:30):
Yeah, what what a what a great guy. And on
March thirty first, we'll have a fun class. This is
something I don't it's not my sweet spot, Brian. We're
going to talk about Johann Sebastian Bach and his great music.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Well how about that.

Speaker 11 (01:19:43):
And we're gonna hear, We're gonna hear. We're gonna hear
some stuff that that will kind of help you if
you if you're not a classical fan, maybe get into
it a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:19:52):
Let's sort of cross between Mozart and Bach. It's a
mock piece. Anyhow, stop right now, we'll bring Dan. We
got halfway through. We're we've got some other classes to
talk about. Thirty first semester empower You America dot orgs
where you get all the information registered about KIRCD talk station.
After the top of their news, Corey Bowman and Signal

(01:20:14):
ninety nine together in studio. In the meantime, Dan Reaganell
on the phone talking about the empower You American new
Seminar at thirty first seminar, or rather a semester with
great classes and we're rolling through them, Dan Regnold, this
next one sounds really really interesting, a white soldier's experience
of the World War two segregated army.

Speaker 11 (01:20:32):
Yeah, you know Dan Hurley, he's kind of a Cincinnati treasure.

Speaker 5 (01:20:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:20:36):
Yeah, people remember him from his you know, his Sunday
morning TV show he had. But yeah, he'll be in
talking about his book, Crossing Borders and Expanding Boundaries. I
think it's going to be a really interesting class. And
of course history classes, people love them. That empower you
and oh yeah, and there's so much fun to do. Also,
we're going to have an interesting candidate, Judge Andrew King,

(01:20:58):
who's running for Ohiopreme Court. That night on April seventh,
a fun class. Breitbart's gonna be discussing Hollywood pop culture
and just giving us kind of a different look on Tinseltown,
which should be a little different different for bright Bart,
but that should be fun.

Speaker 6 (01:21:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
You know, they're one of the sites that regularly posts
the antics of celebrities, and I hate following celebrity antics
because I ignore them less like I ignore the vast
majority of the world. They're just a person with a
sphincter and they haven't added an opinion. But I just
kind of get kind of a chuckle, because you're talking
about AI and you got the next courses involving AI,
AI churning out complete movies that look genuine and real.

(01:21:37):
Thinking of Tech Friday with Dave Hatter, I think Hollywood's
gonna go the way of the Dodo Dan.

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 11 (01:21:42):
And after listening to Dave, who who's been so good
to share time with us too, that secret word that's
on my list for today. I just keep forgetting to
do that, but it's so important.

Speaker 6 (01:21:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:21:54):
On April ninth, Tom Deweeze, a friend of Empower, you
will join us. He's going to talk talk about data
centers and what they mean to where we live, and
what they mean to utility rates and just what they mean.
Please join us that night. Similarly, April fourteenth, we're going
to talk about something that's off my radar, the waste
water problem created by Ohio fracking. What's happening to the water,

(01:22:16):
where it's going, why we should be concerned about it.
On four sixteen, April sixteenth, we're going to have a
local police chief, Even Dale's Tim Holloway. He chairs this group, Brian,
I don't know if you've discussed him or not. The
Hamilton County Association for Police Chiefs and what they're trying
to do to put a check on really the crime

(01:22:38):
problems that are happening in Hamilton County.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Isn't that the one that Police Chief dg went to
that she got an earfull for actually attending.

Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
Could be?

Speaker 11 (01:22:47):
Could could well be. But I'm looking forward to hearing
the chief that and I should be good. And then
on April twenty first, this is a super interesting one
small modular nuclear yeay, yeah, right right up your alley
and learn about him. This could be really our future

(01:23:09):
for clean energy. On April twenty third, we're going to
get our own in person SMITHER event. Christopher's going to
be joining us and empower you. It's been a couple
of years since he's come. And for those of you
who haven't gotten to listener Launch but want to meet Christopher,
this is your chance to.

Speaker 12 (01:23:27):
Meet him.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
And uh oh, and Greg Lawston is going to be
doing it on Higo property taxes and you seminar too.
I know that's going to be really really a draw
for folks.

Speaker 11 (01:23:37):
Greg Lawston on the state of Ohio, there's no one
knows it better than him, and I'm looking forward to
seeing him and hearing his take on what happens at
the Constitutional Amendment on Property taxes passes. And then April thirty, if,
of course Peter Bronson's Empower You Favorite joins us. We're
looking forward to having Peter back. We're going to tour
the American Sime Museum in Camp Washington on May seventh.

(01:24:00):
It's a fascinating tour. Those of you please join us.
It's going to be fine. I think there's a limited
number of people, maybe forty or so that can can
join us on May seventh. And finally, kind of America
two fifty, I'll be doing a kind of my study
for this semester on George Washington. You know Franklin, Ben Franklin,

(01:24:21):
Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Jefferson Madison. They referred to Washington
as the one, as the indispensable one, and I'm going
to put you right in the story of what happened
with all those founding fathers in Washington and how they
created our incredible country. On June tewod So, yeah, we

(01:24:42):
got a lot of stuff going on, a lot of
classes and Brian one other thing I just will got
to point out to all the listeners is. If you've
got a high school at home, please have them come
to our Turning Point Club for high schoolers in Sharonville
every other Wednesday, and you can learn about it on
the website. Just go to the website and there's a
link TPUSA. It's if you want to get your high
score involved.

Speaker 6 (01:25:01):
Hey, hey, we'd love to We'd.

Speaker 9 (01:25:02):
Love to see them.

Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
And I can't thank empower Your America enough for you know,
teaming up with the Turning Port USA chapter. There so
great opportunity for young people to get involved, get engaged,
and steer them in the right direction. Make it really easy, Dan,
you always have empowered you America dot or get all
the information details and of course check out the older classes.
I'm intrigued. I did not see the original class when

(01:25:23):
it aired on the thirteenth of last year, but there's
one right there at the top de EI at the
University of Cincinnati, so I think I might be checking
that one out when I get home this morning. So
appreciate all that you do, Dan Regnold, and thank you
for doing it for more than fifteen years. And I
hope you know ten years down the road we're still
talking about this and you're still doing more of these seminars.

Speaker 9 (01:25:41):
I do too.

Speaker 11 (01:25:41):
Good morning everybody. Thanks Brian, God.

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
Love you brother. Have a great weekend. Seven twenty five
right now, if if you have car seat Son thirty,
if you've got KRC detalk station Friday before I jumped
in the phone, you have a couple of callers online
you can feel free to call to and joining the
fun five one three, seven, four nine fifty eight hundred
eight two three talk ton five fifty on AT and
T phones. We're gonna tak them, which they receive, which
means Jeff is first, but real quick, Jeff, let me
interject Happy birthday to my daughter's fiance, Eric Hansman. Happy birthday, Man.

(01:26:08):
I hope you have a fantastic day and have a
wonderful celebration. Without further ado, Jeff, thanks for calling this morning,
and a happy Friday to you, sir.

Speaker 9 (01:26:16):
Hey, thank you. Hey.

Speaker 13 (01:26:17):
I just wanted to bring up this data center development
and why I surely don't understand why this region is
resisting an absolute massive amount of investment. If you look
on at a map, you'll see Columbus, Indiana, Michigan all
around the massive massive investment in data centers, and I
can't begin to understand why this region would oppose. Just

(01:26:39):
wanted to bring that up and maybe have a little
bit of conversation around that. But in terms of your neighbors,
I don't understand why you could plain its utility upgrades.
And then if you look in your backyard once the
data centers complete, there's no traffic. It's almost a lights
out facility. So what's your thoughts on that, and maybe
some talking points and help me see both ways.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
It's the wave of the future. You can't stop it
from happening. They are going to build the data centers, period,
end of story. It's a question of whether any given
community wants to take get some of the benefit of
having one. Clearly, tax revenue is going to be generated,
but it also creates it's a imposition on the electric grid,
and that brings us back to a broader problem. Where

(01:27:20):
is the energy going to come from to run these places?
And that's why I'm so excited about small modular reactors.
They seem to be the answer to literally everyone's prayers.
For people who believe in the religion of global climate
change or whatever. Guess what, no carbon dioxide production, unlimited
production of power, small footprint like really small. See your
nuclear submarine, cribbage Mic, you're out there. Check out the

(01:27:42):
aircraft carrier. How is it that they run They have
a small nuclear reactor in them. They don't have to
be replaced for twenty or thirty or forty years. It
works demonstrably. We've been running nuclear powered ships in the
military since the nineteen fifties. How come we don't get
it in our backyard? Jeff, huh, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:28:00):
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 13 (01:28:00):
I love that response. And then also, I'm heading down
to Portsmouth, Ohio today. Trump announced yesterday that they're gonna
build the biggest natural gas power plants down there for
data centers. You know, there's the Port Smith nuclear site there,
and I think we're gonna see a rekindling of industry
in this whole region, especially.

Speaker 6 (01:28:17):
With this power.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
Yeah. The only impediment, I guess, the only impediment, Jeff,
I see is if we can manage the power needs.
If you take that problem out of the equation, then
what's the downside? Well, I don't want to see a
massive box facility out there. You know, it's gonna ruin
the landscape. Okay, fine, you can make that argument. But
you're passing up an opportunity for money and jobs and
construction and all of that, and it's going to come

(01:28:40):
some place, do you want it or not. It reminds
me on some level of the casinos. You know, we
had casinos in Southeast Indiana there for I remember the riverboats.
It's just like everybody else is looking across the border going,
wait a second, they're getting all that gambling revenue. Why
don't we do it here? And the next thing, you know,
gambling is legal in Ohio and we're getting all the
tax revenue. Somebody's gonna gamble the going to do it someplace.

(01:29:01):
You may as well let him do it here, as
foolish as the prospect may be. Thank you, Jeff, appreciate
a brother. Jay, Welcome to the show, and a happy
Friday to you, sir.

Speaker 14 (01:29:09):
Hey, Happy Friday, Brian. He wanted to talk about the
North College Hill High School walkout. I saw that the superintendent,
doctor Eugene Blaylock, said that the families and the parents
should be embarrassed, and he's working with the police.

Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
How about him?

Speaker 14 (01:29:24):
Could he be embarrassed? And every teacher and administrator in
that school. This kind of culture doesn't happen overnight. But
I also cannot understand how that many students walk down
the hallway out the door. If that happened, If I've
tried to pull that in my high school, every teacher
and administrator would be out there in the parking lot
pulling us out of the cars, blocking the exits. So

(01:29:47):
how about you, doctor Eugene Blaylock, Where is your accountability
as a superintendent? Buck got to stop with you. I
understand the best offense as a strong defense, and parents
and family members ought to be embarrass You ought to
step down, and you ought to have a school board
that forces you out along with the principal vice principals.
I'm sure there's a student of a date of students

(01:30:09):
every damn administrator, and that school ought a big one
out the door.

Speaker 9 (01:30:12):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:30:13):
He came out and was critical about the twenty to
fifty students that ran into the Kroger and started engaging
in what I would argue is criminal behavior. They may
be held accountable for that, and that's where his criticism
was focused on the kids who did that, the kids
who walked up. But apparently there were about two hundred
and fifty students that walked out, and he didn't have
anything to say about them walking out of school to
do the protest, So I'm guessing that he approved of

(01:30:33):
the protest against ice. He was just pissed off that
a handful of them or twenty or fifty of them
broke off and then engaged in again arguably criminal conduct
inside the Kroger. So two different groups of people there,
and I would say every single one of them should
be held accountable.

Speaker 14 (01:30:49):
Yeah, including the administration, starting with the buck stops at
the top with the superintendent.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
I'll share you.

Speaker 14 (01:30:55):
So don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 6 (01:30:57):
Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Thanks Jay. Somebody had to get the message in since
we didn't hear from Tom this morning. Somebody put an
APB out for that guy getting a little worried. Seven
thirty five right now, feel free to call five and
three seven nine fifty two three talk.

Speaker 9 (01:31:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
How about Wilson High School Principal Dan Weber talk Station
seven on a Friday after the time of the air
new He was really excited to have Corey Bowman and
Signal ninety nine together in studio talk about Cincinnati issues.
Jack Winsor, editor in chief that How Press Network with
a goofy creepy breaking story. We're gonna got it back

(01:31:31):
in a corner on this Butler Mayor up by Mansfield,
got a bit of a problem on his hands. His
stepdaughter put a video camera in her room and she
captured this creep shirtless in her room sniffing her underwear.
And I don't mean just sniffing. I mean this guy
is gone whole hog burying it in his faith. Is

(01:31:52):
the creepiest thing I think I've seen almost ever. Anyway,
without further ado, Tom, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome
to the Morning Show, sir. Happy Friday.

Speaker 9 (01:32:00):
Hey, Happy Friday, Brian. They's taking my call back too many.

Speaker 15 (01:32:04):
Could you imagine instead of these self contained data centers
they recommended to solve this issue, they were going to
run big fifty foot wood pools through neighborhoods with wires
connected to them, and they would have to connect to
every house and they would have this high grade energy
going that way instead like they did with telephone poles
back when they suggested that and puld that one off.

Speaker 9 (01:32:26):
Could you even.

Speaker 15 (01:32:26):
Imagine that comparison that was the solution for needing this
high energy for these data centers.

Speaker 9 (01:32:34):
How that would go well?

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
And this is why I'm kind of excited about AI,
as much as I hate the whole thing, and I
wish we never entered into a world with AI in
spite of some of the advantages we had with it.
But that you know this, this power thing is an
issue with it, but it may give us cheaper energy
in the long run. It's going to take a lot
of money billions of dollars to engage with small modular reactors,

(01:32:57):
of course, But then since they produced so much electricity
in such abundance, my feeling is, at least my perception
is because they produce so much, they will be able
to satisfy the needs of the AI company, but there
will be extra power that you and I might get
the advantage of, or they may design into the whole
AI facility the concept of creating more power on site

(01:33:19):
so we can in our various communities enjoy extra power
like built into the system. You know, Okay, if you're
going to build the center here, we welcome you, But
here you need to have your own power source because
we don't have enough. Idiots make us rely on power
from windmills and solar panels. Your solution SMRs are the
answer to the carbon dioxide problem that some people think
is a problem. So build it. Have your small modular reactor,

(01:33:42):
but at least make it big enough that we can
all get to reap the benefits of it. Problem solved.
These are multi multi billion dollar companies. They can afford
and bake it into the equation, you know, paying for
the power. I don't see that that's a problem, and
maybe we will get an advantage over it. Let's see
what Mark Scott, Mark, thanks for a colin this morning.
Happy Friday.

Speaker 12 (01:34:01):
Hey Brian, Yeah, this is Mark. Come out in Williamsburg.
I called before the thing about the data centers. I
don't like, I'm really not for them, but I'm okay
probably with them. But the only thing, the one that
we have trying to come out in Mount Orb that
the mayor and everybody never told anybody what was going on.

(01:34:23):
And when everybody asked them, hey we hear there's a
data center coming out. Oh no, no, no, we don't know.
We don't know nothing about that. And it's almost like
the Democrats trying to hide something from you and wanting
to line their pockets, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
No one should hide anything from their Constituentcye I'll call
foul on that all day long. It may have been
the greatest idea since sliced bread, this AI center, but
if they're not letting the community that it's going to
go in know about it, that immediately raises red flags
like what are you hiding? Why are you doing this?
How come you didn't ask us what our feelings in

(01:34:59):
a belief is about the benefits of the downsides of
having an AI center here. I mean, you've got to
be open and communicative with the constituents period. Otherwise, Yeah,
people are just going to buy default. Maybe like me,
come out against it. Wait a minute, they're trying to
hide something. I'm gonna start from No, how about that.
We'll start with no, you convince me why I need
to be a yes?

Speaker 12 (01:35:20):
Right exactly. And you know they knew that for months
out there, like several months.

Speaker 9 (01:35:27):
What was going on?

Speaker 12 (01:35:28):
And everybody asks and no, Now it's all over the internet. Now,
it's all over Facebook, and you know, and it's just
it's just messed up.

Speaker 1 (01:35:38):
Well, I will agree with that. Our elected officials owe
us a higher level of responsibility. Think of yourselves as fiduciaries.
You are responsible for our taxpayer dollars the decisions that
impact our communities. How about some open, honest communication. See
why did I think of the city of Cincinnati when
I just said that. Appreciate the call, my friends seven
forty five right now if if you have KRS the

(01:35:58):
talk station, get to mention Fast and Prone. I love
mentioned and Fast and Pro because they are outstanding and
I sow so want you to get a fast and
Pro call for all your roofing needs. They're the best.
I can't imagine anybody being better. Their employees have been
with them for a very long time because they are
great at what they do. Craftsmen level work for your roof,
your gutters, gutter guards and the exterior projects. They do
a lot of work and you can find out all

(01:36:19):
the things they do on their website fastenproroofing dot com.
And I just check out the copperwork. Maybe you don't
need any copper work, but you see that level of craftsmanship,
you know you are in the right hand. Ox Station
seven nine. On a Friday, it is that time a
week we catch ourselves a crime stopper, bad guy of
the week man who well, personally, I always assume it's

(01:36:40):
a guide because sometimes we have a women on there.
But today to talk about that, we have Sergeant Howard
Grant from the Sinci Police Department. God bless each and
every one of the Sinci Police Department for all the
work they do trying to keep our community safe. Sergeant
Grant's good to have you on today. Who are we
looking for?

Speaker 6 (01:36:53):
Good morning. We're looking for our District one investigators are
looking for James Ramon Malik Jones. Jones is wonderful. Felony
theft investigators reported on December thirtieth, twenty twenty five, mister
Jones knowingly took the victim's firearm without his consent. Dames
Ramone Malik Jones is a blackmail twenty one years old,
five eleven, three hundred and.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
Eighty pounds should be easy too.

Speaker 6 (01:37:17):
Yeah, he's a big boy. He has the history of
receiving stolen property and last known to live on Middle
Glenn Drive in bond Hill. Sergeant had informational work.

Speaker 1 (01:37:26):
I was just gonna I was gonna do a quick intro. So,
Sergeant Grant, if we have any information might lead to
his arrest, what do we need to do? You were there?

Speaker 6 (01:37:33):
Yeah, that's right. Please call Crime Stoppers at five one
three three five two three zero four zero, or you
can submit a tip online at crime dash Stoppers dot us.
We have we have one additional opportunity where you can
submit anonymous tip at P three tips.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
Dot com P three tips dot com. You will remain
anonymous if tip leaves and rescue Bilge for a cash reward,
but we all know no one takes a cash reward,
Sergeant Grant, because they want crime stoppers to catch the
bad guys and it helps all the time. Grant, thanks
again on behalf of my listening audience for you and
all members of law enforcement in our community. You're doing
a great job and we sure do appreciate you. We'll
be looking for him his pictures on my blog page
fifty five casuy dot com. I think they needed a

(01:38:10):
wider angle lens Joe. He barely fits in the frame.
Question and the phone lines are open. Does anybody have
a problem knowing definitively one way or another whether there
is intelligent life out in the world. Donald Trump just
said he's going to release all the government files on UFOs.

(01:38:32):
And I've heard this from presidents before, so apparently the
one that kicked this off is Barack Obama saying the
other day, if he was asked about if he'd seen,
you know, extraterrestrials or whatever the hell they call him,
they're real, but I haven't seen them, he said, which
suggested that, well, he has knowledge or information that there
are extraterrestrials out there. So Donald Trump chimes in, He says, well,
this has been an interest for everybody, and tremendous interest

(01:38:53):
has been shown, so I'm gonna let you see him.
I have always struggled with, what in the hell is
the secrecy swirling around this? Is it going to be
societally devastating if we find out that, yeah, there are
UFOs floating around out there, isn't that information you might
want to have just to satisfy even for curiosities purpose

(01:39:16):
old there's national security interest? No, no, there's not, because
if it is let's say, Chinese technology or Russian technology,
I don't care. The country of Luxembourg has cutting edge
technology that we don't even know about or understand. Well,
let us know about that. How could that be devastating

(01:39:36):
to our national security interest? For the American people generally speaking,
to know that some other country has an advanced technology
and I really don't believe we live in a world
given all the spying that's going on in all the
resources that are so well connected, that they could keep
that kind of information to themselves. There's all kinds of
technological breakthroughs in things military and otherwise that happened each

(01:39:58):
and every day. We always end up finding out about it,
and we always end up trying to either catch up
with somebody else who created it, or we usually are
responsible for creating the technology, and then some other country
like China steals it from us to catch up with us.
But would it bother you to find out that, yeah,
there's a flying saucer, that's a picture of one. We

(01:40:18):
got it, it's on video. I just don't see how
it's a problem. And so I'm here's what I expect.
So Trump says he's going to release the information. He's
going to declassify it, since apparently he is of the
mind that that was classified thing. That was something classified
that Barack Obama revealed by saying they're real, but I
haven't seen them, said, I don't know if they're real

(01:40:41):
or not. I can't tell you. He gave classified information
he's not supposed to be doing that. He made a
big mistake. He took out it. He took it out
of classified information. Maybe I'll get him out of trouble
by declassifying it. Okay, I just wanted to why the
hell was classified in the first place. What possible societal
problem or concern are you wrestling with that You wouldn't
tell us outright whether or not extra trestials exist. Just ask.

(01:41:07):
I think it'll be interesting to know. But I also
really find it hard to believe that third rock from
the Sun in a universe that is is so vast
that it's impossible to get your brain around it. Look
at some of the images from the Hubble telescope and
some of the other telescopes, and it just goes on
and on and on. No, that is not a cluster

(01:41:28):
of stars out there. Those are literally tens of thousands
of galaxies. We can't even get from point A to
point B. The next star is light years away from
us in our own galaxy. Yeah, Okay, there's got to
be life out there somewhere, and if we know it's
out there, I think it'd be a nice thing to know.

(01:41:48):
Settle one of life's mysteries. Seven to fifty five fifty
five Krcity Talk Station. Oh, next segment's going to be great,
and I sure hope you can hang out till AFT
to the top of our news the return of former
mayoral candidate Corey Bowman and signal Ato five. I think
about KARSD Talk Station Happy Friday doubling down on Happy
I was so excited to find out earlier in the week.

(01:42:08):
Thank you west Side Jim Keefer for letting me know
and not Joe Shucker lined him up in studio. Right
now we have Corey Bowman who did run for mayor.
We all know what the election results revealed. And of
course I still have this sign up in my studio
with the prominent don't remove label on it. How your
neighborhood voted for mayor. And when we go through the

(01:42:29):
crime reports throughout the Greater Cincinnati area, the crime reports
in Cincinnati, I like to remind people, oh well, that
murder occurred in an area where they voted eighty five
to one hundred percent. Have to have pervoll You had
a choice, You could have done something differently, probably would
have had a better result. That would have been Corey Bowman.
Maybe we'll hear from him again in an elected capacity.
Good to have you in studio, Corey Bowman with friend
extra special Signal ninety nine. Welcome back. It's so great

(01:42:51):
having you here. Good morning, and this is a shout
out for anybody. If I don't know if people get
Facebook or not. If you are on Facebook, just search
for Signal ninety nine follower. She has all the inside
scoop on all the shenanigans going on. She backs everything
she posts with facts. She's got documents, she has testimony,
she has insider information, and it's always turned out to

(01:43:14):
be one hundred percent accurate. Signal ninety nine. Thanks for
what you're doing.

Speaker 7 (01:43:17):
You're welcome. It's pleasure.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
You're like todds Inser in a way.

Speaker 9 (01:43:20):
I love to.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
I know I need to.

Speaker 7 (01:43:22):
If I just told him the other night, if we
could like meld our brains together, oh my god, we
would be unstoppable.

Speaker 9 (01:43:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43:29):
Would Adam and and I Adam just mind meld and
that we'd have this I don't know. Well, you know
you're on the ground in the West End. Mag See,
this is a day to day operation. You're living, you're
experiencing it real time, and you get to see the
dysfunction of the city of Cincinnati unfold in real time

(01:43:50):
and how it impacts, usually to the negative of your
business and maybe even to some degree your church. But
Cory Bowman Signal ninety nine in studio, and thank god
for both of you.

Speaker 8 (01:43:58):
I wanted to mention that Joe actually encouraged me to
come in the studio. That way, I couldn't hang up
on you.

Speaker 1 (01:44:03):
And cuts him out. Yeah, I had to.

Speaker 8 (01:44:05):
I had to actually just come in the studio and
be trapped.

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):
Yeah, well, you know we can still call, mister Bowman.

Speaker 7 (01:44:12):
We can still call and cuts the mountain hang up, yes, right, and.

Speaker 1 (01:44:16):
The prominently displayed dump button right there. Yeah, run off
the rails. And no, if you do that, you're not
going to get an opportunity to come on and apologize.
So just let you know that because that's exactly what happened.
Let's start signal ninety eight. I got to give you
praise for this one. And who would have known. Speaking
of transparency in government, there is none in downtown Cincinnati.
When reached when we tried to reach out to a

(01:44:37):
parvol for comment, he did not respond. That's just kind
of across the board reality for dealing with the mayor
the city manager, any of the people who are council members.
You're not going to hear for the whys or whereforce.
You need Signal ninety nine to let us know. For example,
we have a violence reduction manager just appointed Kate Bell.
I guess Cheryl Long a point of this court of
Signal ninety nine's read on this. She's got a degree

(01:44:59):
basically graphic design. I don't know in sign money and
I do you know what a violence reduction manager is
supposed to do or what that role entails. Is there
a job description or anything like that.

Speaker 7 (01:45:09):
Well, to what we're being told does this job wasn't
even put out for other people to apply for that.
This was just an unappointed position, so that may or
may not be true. We can't get nothing but crickets
from the city, so they won't right, yeah, they won't say,
they won't go on record about it. So you know,

(01:45:30):
you should really get a button, you know, like the
you're fired instead of that crickets. So when you talk
about the city, the mayor, the city manager, you can
hit that button and just be chirping over the radio.
That would be phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (01:45:44):
But well, you know what irks me about that the silence,
and it's across the board. It isn't just with regard
to this KML person, the violence production manager, is that
there isn't more. I'll use the word outrage. I don't
necessarily expect people just like screaming in this streets and
doing like ice.

Speaker 7 (01:46:01):
Paper I do.

Speaker 1 (01:46:03):
Where are the residents of the city? Since then, where
is the outrage? How come they don't demand accountability for
the money that's being taken from them and spent on
random stuff that they won't explain.

Speaker 7 (01:46:12):
Well, not only that, you know, why aren't we all
marching together, thousands of us to stop the violence in
the city since the mayor is crickets about that too?

Speaker 1 (01:46:23):
Well, gee signaled ninety nine. What just prompted me to
turn and look at that map again, realizing that only
one out of four registered voters even bothered to show up.

Speaker 7 (01:46:31):
Well, you know what's really sad as he pandered to
the black community to get elected, and to get re elected,
and then to get re elected from Clerk of Courts
all the way through two terms of mayor. But it's
the black community that's being hit the hardest with the
violent crime.

Speaker 1 (01:46:45):
That's see, that's my perspective.

Speaker 7 (01:46:49):
Ninety percent of the violent crime is in black communities,
and where are they?

Speaker 9 (01:46:54):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:46:54):
Where's Iris Rolie? Why is it she out calling for
peace in the streets? And you know, I know the
State Patrol is down here trying to help out and
the task Force and all that, and that's great, but
where's everybody else? Where is everybody else? Because can you
even count how many shootings we've had this year? I

(01:47:16):
don't have enough fingers exactly. And then seven fatalities so
far this year and fires fire chiefs not been to
a single one of them. Crickets. But that's why Mike
Washington got fired. He didn't show up to a high
rise fire that didn't even have a fatality because he
was never notified by dispatch that there was a high
rise and that's the excuse they used to fire him.

(01:47:39):
But here's McKinley hasn't been to five fires that have fatalities,
including a high rise fire.

Speaker 1 (01:47:47):
He didn't go to.

Speaker 7 (01:47:48):
Assistant Chief Flagler is running the CFD, so you know
he's the one going got to praise him for it.

Speaker 1 (01:47:57):
Maybe the chief got the memo that the best way
to responding like this is just keep quiet. Don't stick
your head out and don't answer any questions.

Speaker 7 (01:48:05):
But why haven't we fired Chief McKinley. Oh, he's not
showing up to these fatality fires.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
Well and pivoting over because of course, you know, Washington's
going to get a big seven figure check.

Speaker 7 (01:48:16):
March nineteenth, next month is the city's last appeal, their
very last one. They're going to lose horribly.

Speaker 1 (01:48:23):
Oh, I know.

Speaker 7 (01:48:25):
And when they do, they're still going to refuse to
let that man come back. And that's all he wants.
He doesn't care about the money. He wants his job back,
and they just won't give it to him.

Speaker 1 (01:48:38):
Sounds a lot like police chief three. So Thigi, who's
on administrative leave? And I asked you before we started today,
because again silence is deafening. They hired an outside law
firm after they put her on administrative leave. At the
time they did that, they had no statement as to
why nothing. They didn't hang their hat on she did this,
She did that, you know, lost confidence whatever, on administrative

(01:48:59):
leave out of nowhere, and everybody's asking, like you included,
wait a minute, what did she do? They couldn't answer
that question or the you know, another one of those
silences deafiniting realities. They hired a law firm to look
into her conduct in her record as police chief and
I guess her entire thirty year history of law enforcement.
And they had until December, like a two month higher.

(01:49:20):
They couldn't find anything, so they extended the law firm's
contract to continue looking into it. Still nothing to support
why they put her on administrative leave. It sounds me
like police chief three gfig he's gonna be the next
person in line for a big seven figure check.

Speaker 7 (01:49:34):
Well, and that's the thing. They don't care. It's not
their money, it's our money. The taxpayers are going to
pay these lawsuits.

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
But shouldn't they care just because it makes them look
like clowns and idiots?

Speaker 7 (01:49:44):
Well you'd think they would. But you know, you've got
Captain Dinita Pettis is still so in the city. Oh yeah,
that's going to be a big lawsuit. I mean, she
got her job back with back pay, but the lawsuit
that's not off the table.

Speaker 1 (01:49:58):
And unring the bell of her you got.

Speaker 7 (01:50:01):
Assistant Chief Sherman Smith from the CFD, He's probably going
to be sue in the city. You've got you know,
wrong ful terminations and then just trying to force people out.
You can't do that. They have an HR person and
a law director or a city solicitor for a reason,
share along, utilize the people around you that actually make

(01:50:24):
these decisions so that you can make your decision.

Speaker 1 (01:50:28):
In just a few minutes time. Here, you've outlined a
whole bunch of seemingly inappropriate fires or terminations or just mismanagement.
Does that all land in? Cheryl Longs.

Speaker 7 (01:50:38):
Absolutely. She's the only person that can fire and hire.
She's the one. So like with Captain Pettis, she's the
one that made the ultimate decision to fire her. So
she should have consulted with HR, and she should have
consulted with the city solicitor of course, and said this

(01:50:59):
is what I want to do. I want to move
forward with termination and here's why. And then they should
have looked at that and went okay, yeah, Captain Pettis
was dishonest with IA during the investigation. However, the original
complaint she was off duty, so these IA things are irrelevant.

(01:51:22):
They should have had the brains.

Speaker 5 (01:51:23):
To do that.

Speaker 7 (01:51:24):
I mean, for crying out loud, this is a city,
as a large city, this isn't a tiny little village
that doesn't know what they're doing, and no offense to
any villages. But this is a big city where HR
and the law director of the city solicitor should know

(01:51:44):
exactly what they're doing to advise her.

Speaker 1 (01:51:46):
All the resources are there. The logical reasonable person would conclude, yes, look,
we got a whole team of lawyers. Let's run it
by the law department first. Let's see what the city
solicitor has to say. First, Let's do our due diligence.
So when people coming out and say, hey, why did
you place this person on administrative leaver otherwise terminate them,
you have an answer to that question. Eight fifteen will

(01:52:07):
continue with signal ninety nine and maybe Corey Boman will
get a word or two in don't on the station
in eighteen fifty five k se DE Talk station A
very Happy Friday, TA give Jack wins or another opportunity.
The next segment to the editor in chief of the
how Press Networks supposed to join us talk about the
student skipping school to up protest, but in the meantime,
signal ninety nine and Corey Bowman in the studio, and

(01:52:28):
before we leave, the whole concept of the violence reduction manager.
I want to get back to this person kpe Belt
with the graphic design background, how does that qualify her
to be whatever the hell it is, a violence reduction manager?
And question one of the ones you put together Signal
ninety nine and this just wonderful post. You made all
these questions which I did pass along to Scott Wortman
from the Enquiry yesterday he was on the show.

Speaker 7 (01:52:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:52:48):
But you break down all these questions and then you say,
most importantly, what model of violence reduction is this administration
actually pursuing. That's a certainly legitimate question, seem me Like
last year, this magic five pointy four million dollars, it
popped up out of nowhere because people were worried about
violence and crime in the streets. We had the beatdown situation,
we had the stabbing and over the rhne which led

(01:53:11):
people to great concerns. You, Holly, get to punched in
the face chaos and in spite of the fact they
are over and over and over saying there's nothing to
see here, there's no crime in the city since nay.
That was the mantra, But the reality flew in the
face of what they were saying. So pop up, and
they say, here's how we're going to approach it, Corey Bowman.
They're gonna put cameras in your neighborhood, which they've been
promising for a couple of.

Speaker 8 (01:53:29):
Years, which in the area where the girl was shot,
the eleven year old Queen Irie was shot. Still no insulation.
But guess where there is a camera right outside our
coffee shop, which I'm very thankful for. But there has
been crime on our block ever since we started the
shot up.

Speaker 1 (01:53:45):
But see that it would be a violence reduction strategy,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:53:49):
Part of what we are going to do is this, Well,
this is what I would say is that when it
comes to the violence reduction position that we're talking about
with Kate Bell, you mentioned that she has a graphic
design that right, Well, here's the thing is that every
time that we talk about violence reduction, every time we
talk about fighting crime in the city, for some reason,
City Hall doesn't go toward the judicial system. They don't

(01:54:10):
go toward the law enforcement. They go toward community initiatives,
they go toward feel good stuff. They go toward Hey,
we're going to pick up trash, we're going to remove
blythe we're going to paint plywood over abandoned buildings, We're
going to do and they yeah, and it's all optics
over outcomes. That's something that was stated very prevalently when
Sarah Haringer's husband was stabbed to death. But this is

(01:54:32):
a thing that has to happen, is that we have
to stop focusing on the optics over outcome. We have
to stop focusing on making it just look like it's okay.
You know, when it comes to the administration, they're an
Instagram administration. They want to look good on paper, they
want to look good on their social feeds because it's
all about a political rising within their ranks.

Speaker 1 (01:54:53):
But the thing is is that.

Speaker 8 (01:54:56):
Exactly so, this is what comes down to when making
things look better, how do you reduce violence from their
point of view, make it look like the violence is
reducing in some way.

Speaker 7 (01:55:07):
Let's not forget about manipulating crime.

Speaker 8 (01:55:09):
Stats, well, the mixture the crime stats itself. A lot
of people talk about that over the year. They're saying, oh, well,
these certain crimes are down downtown, You're just going to
see that no matter what, which I'm actually very upset
that people have just accepted the fact that this is
just what happens in our city. I hate that mentality.
We can do things to prevent it. But when it

(01:55:30):
comes to this the stats itself, we've seen the victims
rise over the years. So you can make a point
that all, well, the crime's down, but how you justify
the victims that are actually increasing over time?

Speaker 1 (01:55:42):
As well?

Speaker 8 (01:55:43):
On top of that, the shot spotter and everything that
we're seeing in the West End. I can't tell you
how many shootings that go unreported, and a lot of
it has to do with the citizens just don't even
call nine to one one.

Speaker 1 (01:55:57):
Sarah Herring was on my program talking about that gun
fire was so often heard in her apartment outside then
it just became a normal thing. It's all it's good fire.

Speaker 8 (01:56:06):
But when you monitor the reports, none of that was
actually reported, and so people are blinded to that fact
because they just want to look a certain way. They'll
fudge the numbers or there's unreported crimes that are happening,
and where they change the classification, they that well there's
bullets that I mean, by the way, I found the casings.
By the way in front of my church, there was

(01:56:26):
that shooting that took place at our church that got
categorized as property damage. So these reclassification of everything, it's
the same thing that they do with the budget as well.
They reclassify certain things in the budget so that the
money will be funneled where they want to go. So
existing infrastructure is a classification, But what are they going
to classify as existing infrastructure to spend the money from

(01:56:48):
the railroad.

Speaker 1 (01:56:49):
After the money from the railroad's been laundered through the
general fund? Because the Railroad board keeps handing the City
of Cincinnati money for projects that aren't being accomplished or done.
They haven't spent eighty five million dollars, They've only spent
what five of it or twelve percent or something. I
can't remember the figure I read. Meanwhile, all the money
that the railroad but handed over to the city has
been put in the general fund where it's earning interest,

(01:57:09):
interest that presumably will be used to get around the
limitation existing a Well, let.

Speaker 8 (01:57:14):
Me talk about that, because I've talked to Todd Zenzer
about this for over a year now, and we completely agree.
It's not about how the money is being spent, it's
about how the money's being held. Let me give you example. Okay,
if there's a building that's in the West End. Let's
say it's on the borderline being condemned, and there's crime
that happens around it. Homeless are hanging out in front,

(01:57:34):
and it's not adding anything to the community. If anything,
it's actually a danger to the community. On the books
of the city, if that's owned by an NGO, a
nonprofit connected with the city, or owned by the city itself,
that's only seen as an appreciated value asset on their books,
and they can justify interest being occurred accrued on that asset.

(01:57:56):
Now it doesn't add to the community at all, but
on their books they can just tofy these assets right here.
Now we can use that on our books to be
able to go into other ventures or to spend the
money another way.

Speaker 1 (01:58:08):
Maybe that's an impact on our credit rating. It's an asset.
Therefore it goes to prove that our credit worthiness, even
though it is a worthless building.

Speaker 8 (01:58:14):
So you leave a lot of property, a lot of
things that are happening in the city on the books,
they're being justified as these are assets that are accruing
interest over time. But that interest over time that they're
making it's at the basically at the detriment of the
communities that need these buildings to be occupied.

Speaker 1 (01:58:33):
Light did property signal aright? Know you said you want
to interject something I do.

Speaker 7 (01:58:37):
I just want to say, you were talking about infrastructure.
I'm planning to plant sunflowers in every single pothole that's
big enough to support their growth.

Speaker 1 (01:58:45):
You better have a lot of sunflowers.

Speaker 7 (01:58:46):
I sunflowers. Yeah, I could do that. But also violence
reduction manager. Why didn't they reach out to somebody like
professor Wallace at u see, someone with the criminology in criminology,
forensic psychology, criminal psychology, somebody like that would be very effective,
and even even of sociology.

Speaker 1 (01:59:08):
Well, you know what if you could get Cheryl Long
to respond to.

Speaker 7 (01:59:11):
That question, which, yeah, well shere along has never responded
to any of my questions. You know, he does blame
me for a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
Though I blame you for telling the truth.

Speaker 9 (01:59:19):
It does.

Speaker 7 (01:59:20):
And I just want to say, Corey, you and I
weren't on the Epstein list, thank goodness. Brian's not on there.
We haven't ruled out Joe yet, but we're good So
I think we could we could fix the crime problem.
You know, if we'd get rid of these judges and
juvenile court, common pleas and municipal court that refused to

(01:59:43):
hold the criminals accountable. And if we'd put up flock
cameras throughout the city, flock would reduce a ton of
crime because people that know about flock criminals will go
elsewhere to commit crime.

Speaker 8 (02:00:00):
Well, that's why they don't break cameras. It's not just
about hiding them somewhere so that you get footage. It's
about people knowing that the cameras are in the area.
Because that's half of it, right there is exactly.

Speaker 7 (02:00:11):
Like for instance, just this sweek they had a shooting.
Well we've had probably several, yeah, which one, right, but
officers were canvassing for rings, neighbors for rings.

Speaker 1 (02:00:23):
Because this is what the city wants.

Speaker 8 (02:00:26):
We've gotten that from our because we have a camera
on right, But this is what the city wants.

Speaker 7 (02:00:30):
CP go knock on everybody's door and see if we
can get their personal footage from their ring cameras. That
is blowny. How about put up some freaking flock cameras
and have your own footage.

Speaker 1 (02:00:44):
Again, all would be part whether you like it or not,
it will be part of a broader violence. Reduction strategy
that they should let us all know about. This is
what we plan.

Speaker 7 (02:00:53):
You know, they could have made me the violence.

Speaker 8 (02:00:55):
Well, when it comes to cameras, let me just make
one quick comment about that. I talked with people that
actually supply the cameras. Now, this company actually has the
ability to install the cameras fairly quickly, they said, the
middlemen and the administration and the red tape that they
have to go through the city actually hires another company
to install. On top of that, they're trying to install

(02:01:15):
these cameras on a lot of private property. But the
hotspots are CRC owned parks which the city can bypass
a lot with that. And we just saw a shooting
on Lynd Street right in front of the public library.
So these libraries in these parks are where these cameras
first need to go. And no, there should be no
impedant because whether it be Duke, whether it be Fiber,

(02:01:37):
whether it be any of the other administrations, they should
all be working together asfficiently as possible to get these
up as quickly as possible.

Speaker 1 (02:01:44):
That was like part of a violent production strategy. Corey Bowman,
maybe they should have made a viol introduction manager single
and Corey Bowman together should be the new violence production managers. Anyway,
we'll try to get answers these questions again, maybe keep
your fingers. Scott Wartman will actually follow up after guess
or happy to welcome back to the fifty five KRSCY
Morning Show from the Ohio Press Network and you find

(02:02:04):
him on zoom, host of the Windsor Report, Jack wins Or,
welcome back to the fifty five KRSEY Morning Show, My friend,
great having you on this morning.

Speaker 5 (02:02:10):
Brian. It's an honor to be here, and what an
honor to follow. Corey Bowman, that's the tough back follow.

Speaker 9 (02:02:15):
He's a good dude.

Speaker 1 (02:02:15):
And Signal ninety nine, she's got her finger on the
pulse of all the shenanigans going on down town Cincinnati.
And before we pivot over to watch a very important story.
And I started off the morning show talking about students
walking out of class to protest ice. That's a foreign
concept for someone who thought he was expected to be
in school all day long. Anyway, you disturbed the hell
out of me. And you ever ever see something you

(02:02:36):
wish you didn't see? You're like the whole concept of
eye bleach. Well, welcome to the post that you brought
my attention to Butler Mayor Wesley Dingis, who was caught
on camera by his step daughter, as I understand it,
who was a little concerned about what was going on
in her own home. She put a camera up in
her bedroom. This guy has his shirt off, he does
have pants on. I mean he is inhaling deeply every

(02:03:00):
undergarment of his stepdaughter he can find inner bedroom. He
was already being brought up on other charges. He's now
being prosecuted for that. This is horrific.

Speaker 5 (02:03:10):
It's so let me start by saying this. Many people
are frustrated by the situation, and they're enraged. But what
I found by posting that, Brian, many of them are
directing it at me, and they're saying, how dare you
post this? And I go, hold on, pump the brake.
I'm a reporter. I report on politics. This guy's an

(02:03:31):
elected official, which by the way, in my community. I
live in that area. And so yeah, this is a
story that I got, you know, a tip on. I
collected the video front directly from the sheriff's office, and
I posted it and I've been very careful. I don't
state who the alleged victim is. I state that it

(02:03:53):
is an allegation, but many people are disturbed by it
and listen, it is disturbing, and frankly, that's why I
posted it because I don't know if the guy is innocent.
I don't know if he's guilty. He's pledged not guilty
in the matter. But this is the video evidence, so
I shared it, and you know it is a little unnerving.
It's a butler, Mayor Wesley Dingis, and he appeared in

(02:04:14):
Mansfield Municipal Court yesterday to face two counts of voyeurism.
And the short of it is this, there is an
alleged victim, that alleged victim felt something was off yeah
with Dingus, and so that alleged victim procured a camera,
put it in a room, and it's that camera that
caught him in the room. And again I have to

(02:04:36):
be careful. It appears that he is looking for panties,
putting them up to his face and as you said,
and haling them for a very long vigor and vigorously
is a great word, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:04:48):
And I will back off on saying that it's a
step thart that was reported by one of the people
who commented on it, so I'll be on the record.
I'm not certain who the victim is. It's an ex
an excellent point to make, Jack, I truly appreciate that.
And let's face it, in a world of artificial intelligence
were we had Tech Friday's Dave Hatter on this morn
here talking about how easy it is to make AI videos.
My default position is what I'm looking at is not real.
So there is the potential that this isn't real. That

(02:05:12):
being said, whatever this is real or not, it's disturbing
as hell, So we'll just make me leave it to that.
And you know what, talking about people criticizing you, Jack
Windsor for bringing this anybody's attention. If this was pulled
out of the Epstein Files, people will be gleefully looking
at it and being thankful that, you know, Thomas MASSI
forced to release fallw the exit of the Epstein Files.

Speaker 5 (02:05:30):
H Brian, thank you for seeing that. And I'll tell
you what I told my wife last night.

Speaker 6 (02:05:37):
My job.

Speaker 5 (02:05:37):
I'm honored to do it. I've had to post videos
in the past month and a half. One is miss
Good being shot to death, another one is Alex Pretty
being shot to death, and I had to analyze this,
and you know what, I didn't get any pushback. But
here I'm posting a picture of a guy and a
video of a guy who's shirtless sniffing panties, and you

(02:05:58):
would think that I was Jeffy Epstein. It's wild to me,
the lack of consistency and reaction. But people are people
get it. You know, everybody has their own vices, everybody
has the things that trigger them. But you're spot on.
If this we're in the Epstein files, people would be
publishing it ad nauseum and pointing to, you know, the
alleged perpetrator. And in this case, maybe it's because the

(02:06:19):
mayor is a Republican and many people who follow me
are Republicans. But listen, I don't report on Democrats and Republicans.
I report the news.

Speaker 1 (02:06:26):
Thank you very much, amen, And I will heap criticism
on any politician of any stripe, or anybody elected capacity
to anybody who's got authority over my life. I don't
care what their politics are. If it's corruption, if it's weird,
if it's perverted, if it's a stupid idea, I'm calling
them out on it, including Donald Trump. I'm on record
of criticizing Donald Trump from time to time. And man,
do I get an earfull for doing that? Even though
I believe my points are valid, and people can call

(02:06:48):
in and try to convince me that I'm wrong. More
with Jack Windsor students skipping school to protest, how can
this possibly be? It's say, thirty seven to fifty five
KRCD talk station, fifty five krc planning to build a
new deck be if you about KRCD talk station. Appreciate
you tuning in this morning. I'm glad you're tuned in
right now on the line, Jack Windsor from the High
Press Network. You can find him online at Yes, the

(02:07:10):
Ohio Pressnetwork dot com, reporting on a lot of matters
going on in around Ohio. We're lucky to get him
on a Friday morning pivoting over. And this is something
that I'm sorry. Maybe I'm just old Jack, but when
I was in school, if you got up and walked
out of class, I mean, even if you just walked
out to go to the bathroom, you're gonna end up
in the principal's office or suspend it, or ended up
in Saturday school or something. But this looks like a

(02:07:31):
coordinated effort by the school administrators generally speaking, teachers, generally speaking,
they're encouraging kids to get up and walk out of class,
and no one is being held accountable. Oh lo and behold,
it happened here locally ended up at twenty to thirty
or forty or some on of these students that walked
out among two hundred and fifty to walk out of
class at a local high school to protest ICE. They
ended up at a Kroger engaging what I think we

(02:07:53):
can all describe as rather criminal activity. So they got
a tongue lashing from the principle over the activity and
the Kroger, But the silence was deafening. He didn't say
that there was anything wrong with the kids walking out
of class to protest. This is happening all over Jack
and I'm sorry, I can't abide.

Speaker 5 (02:08:11):
I can't either. I've covered Ghannah Jefferson School District all
in Tangi, which is the district my daughter goes to
Delaware Hayes. There were walkouts at all of those. Actually,
the walkout at Delaware Hayes resulted in violence. A pro
ICE student was confronted by anti ICE protesters, and that

(02:08:32):
has resulted in not only violence, but police charges being filed.
So these things are not just your run of the
middle Hey, this is a peaceful protest. So there are
multiple issues here, Brian. One of them is the lack
of civics understanding that's being perpetrated and purvayed by educators.
The second article the Constitution gives the President the authority

(02:08:55):
to enforce laws on the books that are passed by Yep,
you guessed it, Article one legislative branch of the federal government.
So what is going on with ice, whether you like
it or not, is lawful, and for educators to pretend
that it's not is disgusting. Particularly during America's two hundred
and fiftieth birthday. We ought to be using these opportunities

(02:09:15):
to teach kids history in real civics, but we're not.
And I digress. But here's the other issue we're hearing
from educators. Well, I'm seeing something disturbing. There's an alignment
and all of these email messages that these educators put
out that say, well, these students have a First Amendment right, No,
they don't know and tinker versus des Moines walkouts that
cause students to this class and create material disruption. Schools

(02:09:38):
may discipline them and they're not okay.

Speaker 1 (02:09:40):
And there's also the concept of in local parenthas. Those
teachers have basically a parental responsibility for the safety of
their children in their classroom and if they let them
go out of class to protest, like the ones in
North Carolina, there was a whole bunch of kids that
ran across a busy four lane highway while protesting ice.
We have another one, I can't remember what stated was
in minor got hit by a car during one of

(02:10:00):
these protests, those in Palm Beach County, Florida. So hmm,
sounds like a failure of their in local apprentice legal
responsibilities jack total failure.

Speaker 5 (02:10:10):
The full weight of the law ought to be on
those individuals. In Garcetti versus Sibalos in two thousand and six,
activist teachers using school time and resources are not protected.
It's not protected First Amendment speech. That's one and two.
I'm dealing with a middle school principle here in central
Ohio that did not forewarn parents, But we have sources

(02:10:31):
telling us not only did he know, he was hanging
up flyers in the school, encouraging students to go out
in protest. That's gross. That to me is a violation
of whether it's the letter or the spirit of the rules,
laws and guidelines that as you said, that educator has
a fiduciary responsibility to act as me the parent. And

(02:10:53):
when there are protests that have turned violent, and you're
not telling parents ahead of time, when you know that
there's going to be a protest, that's not only is
it a bad look, I think it should be disciplined.

Speaker 1 (02:11:03):
Well, and there you go. This guy sounds along alignment
of your kids, thinks he's the opposite sex. The teachers
encourage that belief, and and and and and then don't
tell the parents about the change in sex even though
they're in the position of knowing about such the these
such important things. They're the first line of defense and
ferreting out, for example, problems in the home. They're the

(02:11:23):
first line of defense. And reporting this type of information
maybe the law enforcement if it applies, but not telling
parents about it. This is you know, and real quick,
we'll take a break here in a second, Jack, before
we move off this topic. You talk about that missed opportunity,
the opportunity to teach the Constitution while also maybe encouraging
the same thing. If you don't like ICE protests, the

(02:11:45):
vehicle to change that is to change the law. This
is how the process work. Let's walk through the constitution. Now,
the teacher could encourage the children to contact their elected officials.
Maybe we're all going to write a letter to our
congressman today, and you can tell them how much you
hate the ice rules and think that the law should
be changed. Immigration reform is necessary, and just write it
all out. We'll send it to them. That is the
appropriate process. Get your elected official, listen to the constituents

(02:12:08):
and change the law absent that they are doing their
job lawfully.

Speaker 5 (02:12:14):
That's right. Yeah, And I'll say this. I took advanced
placement government in my senior year of high school, and
you know what we did when things got quippy. The
teacher said, we're going to have a debate. You're going
to prepare that you're not going to just pop off
at the mouth. What a great opportunity.

Speaker 9 (02:12:29):
Get those students in a room.

Speaker 5 (02:12:31):
And allow them to debate each other.

Speaker 1 (02:12:32):
Love it.

Speaker 5 (02:12:33):
I mean, there's so many missed opportunities here, Brian, it's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (02:12:36):
We should bring back the Socratic method across the Board
A forty five one more with Jack Windsor, Ohio State
professor assaulting a journalist seems like eight forty eight fifty
five care Seed Talk das well Dead Kennedy's Bumber Music
and Honoro Jack Winsor on the show There Appreciated Just
Trekor executive producer Jack wins Are, editor in chief the
High Press Network, host of the Windsor Report, pivoting over

(02:12:59):
what's with the high State professor assaulting a journalist? Are
we along the same lines on this one, Jack Windsor.

Speaker 5 (02:13:06):
Yeah, it's disturbing. I've got a little bit of background
on Assistant Professor Luke Perez. He is they call him
the red Jacket in the video and he is seen
swatting the camera out of the hand of a documentarian
is what the guy calls himself, and then you know,
physically entering into an altercation with him. He has since

(02:13:28):
that time been placed on leave by the Ohio State University,
and my understanding is the latest he has been charged
with the first degree misdemeanor of assault, and so that
will be followed up on February twenty third. He continues
to be on leave as the university investigates as well,

(02:13:49):
just a little bit of background, not justifying the behavior
at all. The professor, I understand, lost a child last
year and has been kind of at the end of
his rope. One of his friends confided in me, I
can't say who that is. That person was off the record,
and they said it was certainly conduct that is not
consistent with his character. And the journalist was attempting to

(02:14:12):
ask one more question of Gordon Gee that surrounded student loans.
But you know, look, there's a lot of tension swirling
around Ohio State with Epstein and Wexner and all those
things going on, really and yes, absolutely on the pressure. Yeah,
there's a lot of pressure right now to get Less
Wexner off the board of trustees for the Wexner Medical Center,

(02:14:36):
to remove his name from the university. Chris Carter, famed
wide receiver at Ohio State NFL Hall of Famer, is
supposed to be calling a press conference in February twenty
third to demand that Wexner stepped down as chairman of
the board of Trustees for the Wexner Medical Center and
that Ohio State removed his name from all the buildings.
And as you know, Wexner was in a deposition with

(02:14:58):
Congress early this week regarding his ties to the late
Jeffrey Epstein, who's been convicted of sex crimes and trafficking minors.

Speaker 1 (02:15:08):
Yeah, a lot of it's a slow drip on that
Epstein information. But we saw what happened with former Prince
Andrew the other day's Yeah, and it's happened in more
and more European officials, And I just I'm just fascinated
more by how many quote unquote powerful people, world leaders,
champions of business and industry were connected with this guy.

(02:15:31):
Such a small circle of friends. I guess out there
in the billionaire camp, Jack, I don't know, but I
don't know guilt by association. I don't believe in, you know,
being on radio and Jack, I'm sure people want to
get their picture taken with you all the time. There
could be pictures out there me with me standing next
to some kind of child molester. I didn't know the
person was a job molester. Yes, as a photograph, So
I'm not going to indict somebody just for having a
photograph with Epstein. Hell, the guy was literally everywhere at

(02:15:53):
all times. But I mean, if you're directly implicated. Then
you know, this is the kind of thing people want
to know about. But I'm just still amazed by how
tight that circle is.

Speaker 5 (02:16:03):
Yeah, it is a tight circle. And this is what
I screamed from the rooftops all the time. Whatever the
standard is, stick by the standard. Because you know, we
heard the ladies of the View for months have been saying, well,
Donald Trump was he on Epstein Island? Was And it
came out that they were actually on Epstein Island? So
you go, well, wait a minute, which is it. Is
it bad that you're on the island?

Speaker 6 (02:16:22):
Is it good?

Speaker 1 (02:16:23):
Now?

Speaker 9 (02:16:23):
What's the standard?

Speaker 1 (02:16:24):
How stupid does that make them look that they are
so critical of all that that they know they were
there when they're making statements to that effect. They don't
have any information on Trump. They just assume he's in
there because well, this is a small circle of people
that hang out together. Donald Trump actually was one of
the people first calling him out for being a pervert.

Speaker 2 (02:16:43):
God.

Speaker 5 (02:16:43):
Yes, And Jasamine Crockett really got it handed to her
the other day too, real quick. She tried to really
hone in with Wexner on Trump, and he repeatedly said, nope, nope, nope,
I mean she was really pushing to get Trump in
hot water. And every time anyone presses into Trump with
respect to Epstein, they come up with a you know,
a nothing burger. Yet they laughed, and ladies at the

(02:17:04):
view want to continue to pound that drum.

Speaker 1 (02:17:07):
Well they're pounding something, all right. I don't know if
it's doing them any good.

Speaker 5 (02:17:11):
A sorry if I filibustered you there. Man, this stuff
gets me fired up. It's just a consistency and standard.

Speaker 9 (02:17:19):
Man.

Speaker 5 (02:17:19):
It really drives me nuts.

Speaker 1 (02:17:20):
It drives me nuts too as well. And anyhow, Jack
