Speaker 1 (00:05):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
At fifty five k r C the talk station. Happy Friday, Tuesday, will.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
It is?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
You know it's Friday. It's officials Tracker hit the woo
woo woo hoo button, Joe Treucker and second producer and
so glad to see him up and around. Good morning everybody.
Hope you're having a decent Friday so far, give it time.
It is Mother's Day weekend, and Happy Mother's Day to
all the moms out there, most importantly my own love you, Mom.
Just a wonderful thing having you as my mom all
these and what an amazing, amazing thing a good mom

(00:49):
can do for you. I sorry, someone was reacting to this,
you know, the whole feminism thing we got to deal with. Anyway,
He held the door for a blue haired obviously insensitive
I suppose to the acts of kindness bestowed upon this
woman who was approaching him as he held the door

(01:10):
for her, and she yelled at him for doing so.
He stopped, He looked at her, and he said, you
know what, you know, I learned that I learned to
hold the door for women from the most the strongest
woman that I have ever met, my mom. It shut
her down Apparently she shut up and cowered a little
bit and walked through the open door that was being

(01:31):
held open by the guy who was engaging in a
I suppose very kindly active chivalry. I still hold the
door for my wife. My wife appreciates it. Yeah, active kindness.
I've had women hold the door for me. You got
packages in your hand or something, NEI a little assist.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Me we don't
need help. Well maybe you don't need it, but she's

(01:54):
accept the gift. Eddie, how what's coming up this morning?
Sorry for that. Just want to thank my mom for
all so teaching me to hold the door, and for
my dad reinforcing that and other acts of etiquette like
the chair and anyway getting the car door, that kind
of thing. I'm a traditionalist, at least I try to
be when it comes to those matters. Clinging onto the
old ways. Tech Front with Dave Hatter not the old ways.

(02:15):
When Dave Hatter's on the air, their FDC data is
showing people have lost billions to social media scams. Learn
about those every single week from Dave Hatter, heat his
advice and you'll be well at least a lot more
protected from the scams than people who refuse to listen
to Dave Hatter or don't tune in. Modern headphones are
tracking more than just music. I'm shocked, Oh god, and

(02:39):
researchers tracking two point nine billion compromise credentials. Yeah, Dave
Williams taxpayer protection lines coming up at seven oh five.
We've got democracy in an AI. I have all these
different topics talk about with them. Let's see, we got

(03:01):
the FTC data thing, modern headphones, we got two point
nine billion compromise credentials and death by a thousand quotas
Consumer watchdog exposes global crackdown on US streaming services. I
guess they don't like our streaming services elsewhere. And Dave,
that was it with Dave had or peck and apologies, folks.
You know what I just found out some of the
other day. I got this damn chemo treatment and I've

(03:21):
been doing it since January. It has really impacted my
ability to think, and if you've noticed it, I've been
struggling a little bit to find my words. Well, there
I hit the nail on the head with that one.
I did a lot of research, you know, a little
while ago on the effects on your brain on chemo,
and you know, mostly it's temporary. It can last months,
but then again, some people are plagued with a permanent
interruption when they're cognitive function and I sure as hell

(03:44):
hope that I don't get down that road. But organizing
my thoughts has been a little bit difficult during this
round of chemotherapy. So I truly, truly apologize, and it's
actually so embarrassing. I go home feeling terrible about my
inability to grab words and thoughts and also keep myself organized.
So just asking for just a Scotia forgiveness. So with

(04:04):
that out of the way, let's see FDA taking steps
toward harm reduction. Great this one on the heels of
a UK article. They cracking down on tobacco products there
and vape products. Looks like the FDA is taking some
steps on vapes as well. And I know Dave has
a sweet spot in his heart for the vaping. He
thinks it's a great idea because his dad smoked like

(04:26):
three packs of cigarettes a day and died from lung cancer.
So vape a great alternative. And when you crack down
of vape products, people continue to smoke in much larger
numbers than areas where they allow vape products to go
out into the world. Anyway, what's going on across the pond?
Exchanging fire, iron lost missiles and drones and small boat
attacks against US warships not good. This was going through

(04:49):
the strait of horror moves. We then, of course responded
by intercepting those threats and then striking Irani military sites.
Sencom said the Iran tacks were unprovoked. Aren't we a ceasefire?
Keep hearing that they don't want to seek escalation, but
we will respond. President Trump said the ceasefire with Iran
is still in effect, calling the latest round to strikes

(05:10):
a trifle. I still go back to my question of
Daniel Davis last week. Wait a second, if both sides
in a ceasefire are shooting at each other, isn't it,
definitionally speaking, not a ceasefire. Yeah. I think the answer
to that is yes. At least we're using logic and reason.
United Arab Emirates also got an in launch of missiles
and drone attacks against them. Saudi Arabia actually now has

(05:32):
lifted our restrictions, the restrictions of the place on US
military base use, so we weren't allowed to use our
own bases because Saudi Arabia didn't want to get I
guess become the recipient of missile strikes. Apparently that is
over and we're free to use the base. And as
to those US strikes, it was a love tap, that's
what Donald Trump called them, strikes against Iranian targets. A
love tap. Here Iran have a love tap or two.

(05:56):
But again, Trump also said speaking with ABC News, the
ceasefire is going, before adding it's in effect. All right.
Over to comments from Daniel Davis, he hasn't been real optimistic,
he keeps saying, and I know people roll their eyes
over it. You know, the Iranians have a lot of missiles,
and we have not really exhausted their supply missiles. In

(06:18):
spite of what Trump keeps saying. They could go on
and on and on. And they've got that religious resistance
too that you have to keep in mind in the
back of your head. Why don't they capitulate? What have
they got to win? Why would they even want a nuke.
We'll let them alone, we'll let them trade, we'll give
them their money back, we'll let their oil flow. Just
say no nukes. They won't do that. It's capitulation. They

(06:38):
got to save face, and they can continue to do
so to a certain degree, in spite of the economic
devastation that's brought been brought down on the Iranian citizenry
and the government itself funds drying up oil stuck well
oil pumps being shut down, but not to the degree
that some think they're doing work arounds, something Daniel Davis
pointed out as well. They don't need a necessarily shut

(07:00):
them down. They do have a lot of space in
Iran to place the excess oil that's coming, so they
can keep these low level producing pumps going without freezing
up and rendering them inable to come back online. But
there is a new CIA analysis that was leaked to
the public confidential it was and of course inside sources
speaking with folks about what's in the report. Analysis by

(07:20):
the US Central Intelligence Community found that Tehran retains significant
ballistic missiles capable despite weeks of intense US and Israeli bombardment.
Talk to multiple people on a condition of anonymity, of course,
Iran retains about ready how many missiles seventy five percent

(07:42):
of its pre war inventories of mobile launchers about seventy
percent of its pre war stockpiles of missiles. Apparently, official
said there is evidence of the regime has been able
to recover and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities,
repair some of the damage missiles, and assemble some of
the new missiles that were nearly completed when the war

(08:02):
opened up. And another thing that Daniel Davis has pointed out,
it's a lot of territory. There are a lot of
these missile production facilities out in the world. We don't
know where they all are, and they don't need to
be very big. You can put drones together in a
small space, and in a country that's two point four
times the size of Texas, that's a lot of ground
to cover. Now. Trump previously said the other day Wednesday,

(08:24):
their missiles are mostly decimated. They have probably eighteen nineteen percent,
but not a lot by comparison to what they had. Obviously,
this conflicts dramatically with the US Intelligent with the Sencom
report US Intelligence official and asked for comment. So the
blockade is inflicting real compounding damage, severing trade, crushing revenue,
accelerating systemic economic collapse. Military bases badly damaged, navy destroyed.

(08:48):
Leaders are hiding what's left of the regime's appetite for
civilian stuffering, starving its own people to prolong award has
already lost. Okay, that's kind of a like good push
them in that direction. If it's that, then they'll capitulate.
But one of the officials, speaking to the Washington Post
who released this confidential report, at least the inside information

(09:09):
about it, the leadership has gotten more radical, determined, and
increasingly confident they can outlast US political will and sustain
domestic repression to check any resistance, which they had been
doing ramping up the murder of their own civilians to
keep the people shut up and not complaining. Comparatively, this
first official said, you see similar regimes lasting years under

(09:30):
sustained embargoes and airpower only wars. Humphm accord i. RAN's
economy reeling from the effects of war, great persistent inflation
gone through the roof, of course, But the CIA estimates
that Iran can survive the blockade for ninety to one
hundred and twenty eights, maybe even longer, before the more
serious economic hardships befall them. They're storing some of its

(09:54):
oil on tankers, as we've come to learn, they're studying
them in any place they can find some space, seem
to flow in its oil fields to ensure those wells
remain functional. Now, I heard a lot of people say, well,
they can keep those oils pumping, and they'd rather just
pour it into the ground than let those oils stop
producing completely. Well, apparently there's another work around right there.
Just lower the flow. It will work then when you

(10:16):
want to reopen it to full capacity. As person said,
it's nowhere near as dire as some have claimed. They
also said the analysis might be underestimating Iran's economic resilience
if Tehran is able to smuggle oil, which they have
been doing over land on our weapons. The confidential intelligence

(10:36):
assessment says the Iran's inventory missiles and mobile launchers remains formidable.
They're thought to have roughly twenty five hundred bullistic missiles
before the war began, as well as thousands more unarmed drunes. Again,
Daniel Davis speaks to this. Washington po's visual investigation found
that Iranian air strikes have damaged or destroyed at least
two hundred and twenty eight structures piece of equipment at

(10:58):
US military sites across Middle East, destruction much larger than
what has been publicly acknowledged by the US government. And
I understand painting a rosy picture of the American people.
This is what we do. Got to maintain a chin
up attitude about this. No, no, we're fine. We're knocking
those missiles that are in coming out of the air.
We're doing okay, But that's a lot of destruction and
at a sizable cost. When they hit those radar installations.

(11:22):
You're talking about the loss of billions of dollars. They say.
The timeline when Aron can start producing ballistic missiles and
substantial quantities has shortened, and they don't need the ballistic
missiles as much as they don't provide as much value

(11:44):
as the drones, which are very low cost. And as
this is pointed out, unlike medium range missiles that can
strike like Israel, the drones can be built in small warehouses,
easily concealable facilities. Of course, those facilities can move from
time to time, so off intelligence red flags some particular
building where the drones are being made, your audience can
just pick up the operation and move it someplace else,

(12:08):
and then you know, here's kind of like the ultimate
point here, the straight of Horn moves being closed, trying
to get it back open. That's the economic problem for
the world. All it takes is one drone to hit
a ship, and nobody will bother ensuring those oil tankers anymore.
If the oil tankers aren't ensured, the people who own
them aren't inclined to take the risk because obviously the

(12:30):
losses will be incalculable. So, and you know, I'll be
the first person to admit, you know, inside information leaked report.
You know, it all sounds like, oh my god, it's
a bunch of crap. We don't need to believe that,
you know, But I hear from people after Daniel Davis
talks about exactly this. Apparently he's got inside sources too,
which he's alluded to before. So I'm just providing because

(12:51):
not everybody's on the same page in terms of what
the information is that comes out. Now it's up to
us individually to try to figure it out. With the
fog of war makes it that much more difficult to
figure out what's truth versus what's reality. I guess you
think pray for a great outcome five eighteen right now

Corny Paula five twenty two fifty five KRC D talk station,
Get out of bed music.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Tell that type.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yes, I met a new listener. Listener launch came up
me because what's the name of that song that you
play the five o'clock hour? After this break, Asus bades
that wasn't exactly his cup of tea music. I know
we all have some activity the subjective dates when it
comes to music. That's Joe in my selection right there,
So just live through it for a couple of seconds.
Congratulations to my friends in Indiana. You got to relief

(14:08):
from some high gas prices. Governor Mike bron has now
I know. He extended the suspension of the sales tax
on gasoline for another thirty days, paused the state gas tax,
also resulting in my Indiana friends saving fifty nine point
three cents a gallon for the next month. How about
that Indiana doesn't care about Rhodes.

Speaker 7 (14:32):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well, wait a second, here, they have a slush fund. Yeah,
they got a rainy day fund. I'll get that in
a second. Because I did a little I did a
quick research. Ohio's rainy day fund currently three point nine
to four billion at the end of last county year,
described as a record high. Joe, we're a washing cash.

(14:53):
How does this translate into loss of tax dollars? It's
you know, it doesn't sound nearly as bad anyway. Attorney
General Todd Rakeda's office set initiated price gusing investigations into
retailers as well. I don't know that's going to bear
much fruit. If you've got three gas stations within a
mile of each other, usually the price is the same,
unless they've colluded together to raise the price. We have choices.
If you buy gas one place, it can be a
lot cheaper if you bother to drive a couple of

(15:15):
miles ago elsewhere. But anyway, we'll see if that bears
fut fruit. Thirty day tax suspension and combined of the
suspensions rather expect to cost the state coffers one hundred
and four million when you think of a billion dollars
is one thousand million. I think we can manage a

(15:37):
little bit of cut without impacting anybody's budget. Long term,
local coffers are going to struggle with a loss of
fifty two million bronze. Initial thirty day suspension of these
seven percent sales tax on gas came at a separate
fifty million revenue costs. So do all the number crunching,
and with about two hundred total million dollars, the state

(15:58):
collected two hundred and thirty eighty three points seven million
through the gasoline tax in April and is four hundred
and twenty five million above fiscal year projection, So they're
doing pretty well on tax collections anyway. The tax suspension
set to end May eighth, was set this to nd
May eighth, Now it's been extended by a month. He's

(16:19):
also increased the mileage reimbursement rate for state employees in Indiana.
So all right, pivoting over, oh look south of the
Greater Cincinnati Cincinnatieri government, sheer has frozen the state gas tax.
Do you think Kentucky didn't cover the roads either? He
Joe activating the state's price gouging laws and sending two

(16:41):
letters to Congress urging them to suspend the federal tax. Oh,
that could be done, I guess had a law at
an increase of our national debt, I suppose anyway freezing
the gas tax from my friends in the Commonwealth twenty
six point four cents per gallon. It was expected to
increase this twenty seven cents. Why because every month they
look at the prior months sales tax or gasoline price

(17:01):
and then adjust the tax for the next month. It
was expected to go up. Well, it won't apparently this time.
So congratulations to my friends in the Commonwealth. Yes, you
could do it if you wanted to wine, but you know, roads, bridges, infrastructure,
and of course six hundred million dollars from the other
slush fund, the Unclaimed funds, so we can give six
hundred million dollars to the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
Is the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
the pinnacle of doue dom. Good going, dou Your dreams
have come true.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Joe, Joe, that was not SCC compliant what you just
said to me. About the wine five went three seven
four nine fifty eight hundred eight two to three talk.
Feel free to give you a call otherwise the local
stories come in your way. I'll be right back.

Speaker 9 (17:55):
Fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
So there's bday. Hey, if I have Tarse dot com, listen,
I heard mediaviation expert Jay Ratt live Southernhiwo Technical Institute.
Does a career waiting for you in the HVAC industry?
Apparently a huge demand, there very little cost to get
the appropriate training. Off you are to a career. Congressman
Warren Davidson was some interesting thoughts yesterday as well. All
those podcasts. If if I have Charsee dot com along

(18:19):
with the iHeartMedia app downloaded and stream the audio and
all the content from my heart wherever you happen to
be over the phones, Tom, Happy Friday to your brother.

Speaker 10 (18:28):
Yeah, good morning, and I want the first day. Happy
Mother's Day, Yes, all the mothers. Hey, hey, guys and gals,
don't forget your mom this weekend. At very least call
her up and tell her how much you love her
and how much you appreciate her.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Take her out to dinner, yeah something, or make her.

Speaker 10 (18:45):
Did I mean more than likely she's done a whole
lot more for you than you'll.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Ever do for her, So no doubt about it. And
you know, and not just my mom, who obviously I
referenced earlier, what a blessed man I am to have
it had her as my mom, to my wife too,
who is just an outstanding mother to her children. I've
got I've got no children thanks to my wife. I'm
going to give her ninety nine point nine percent of
the credit for them turning outright.

Speaker 10 (19:12):
At least that much. I'm sure she's nodding in in
partible right now. Of course she is probably a little bit,
probably a little bit more of the credit goes to her.
So And of course, one of the great honors of
my life was to meet your mom over MANI Kelly,
So that was pretty cool. I met your mom and
dad at the same time.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
So yeah.

Speaker 10 (19:30):
And also, for those of you may not know, a
personal favorite of mine would have been his one hundredth
birthday today, Don Rickles. Oh boy boy, do we miss
that kind of humor? And do we miss the days
or people could put.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Up with that? Can you imagine, let's say, a thirty
year old Don Rickles who's in his prime comedy wise,
in this day and age, nobody would never have heard
who he is, or he'd probably be imprisoned someplace for
you know, offending someone.

Speaker 10 (19:58):
Right, good lord, if you if you got offended by
Don Rickles, you're you're in number one, you're an idiot.
But number two, it was it was like a badge
of honor if he if he decided to attack you,
then I was like, wow, he noticed me, This is great.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well yeah, and if you didn't get attacked by him,
he kind of felt left out. Hey what about my
flag group?

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right right on?

Speaker 10 (20:20):
So I wanted to pivot real quick. Your your caller
after me yesterday was talking about Thomas Massey and uh,
and I don't want to be a campaign ad for
Thomas Massey, but I can't say anything bad about the man.
I mean he, I mean, he he comes out, he
tells you this is where I stand on things, this
is my opinion, and this is what I'm gonna do
if you elect me office. And then he just goes

(20:42):
and does it, and he keeps up with it, he
doesn't back down. I mean, isn't that what we want?
No matter what the no matter what the stances, and
that we want a politician to tell me what you're
gonna do, and then I elect you, and then you
just go ahead and do it. And then the last
ad I just heard was, I mean, they got a
lot more in common. The guy yesterday was like, oh,
he doesn't agree with Trump, so what the deal? He

(21:03):
doesn't agree with Trump? You have to agree with Trump
to get my vote. No, I need to think outside
of who you agree with, who you get along with.
I need to be thinking about what is your stance
on this? Is it aligned with my stance on it?
Before I decide I'm going to vote for you. If
all you're going to do is is is think, oh,
well they don't agree with the president that I voted for,
well you're not really thinking very much for yourself. That's

(21:25):
just lazy. So take a few minutes and think about
what you're doing before you decide who you are and
aren't going to vote for, And don't just use who
they're aligned with or or what cable channel has them
on more often or whatever you know. Think about it
for a minute, and then, for God's sake, don't vote Democrat.
Have a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's the safest bet right there. Just default position. Don't
vote Democrat, but thoroughly review your Republican options and do
a little research with being tried to the bill of
goods may be sold to you through our efforts to
sell you a bill of goods through campaign ads. How
many ads we have this this morning with three with
regard to the Massy a ton since it is Tech Friday.

(22:06):
One local story applicable but Tavia man accused of scamming
multiple victims out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, pleaded
guilty to several felony charges earlier this week Tuesday, Cody
Win guilty to fifteen counts of felony grand theft. He
scammed thirty four victims out of more than nine hundred
and fifty thousand dollars maximum sentenced twenty two and a
half years in prisons, seventy five thousand dollars in fine.

(22:27):
Charged with ninety three counts telecommunications fraud, grand theft totally
more than nine hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Clema County
Sheriff's Office set investigators became aware of this in twenty
twenty three. Sheriff's office said Win allegedly disguised himself, using
the name Cody Clay, with a business he called Market
Modern LLC. Win promised victims across the country a fully

(22:49):
automated Amazon storefront that would generate passive income within three
months in exchange for investment investments twenty five thousand to
sixty thousand dollars per person. Each victim paid Win some
amount in that range. Deputies reviewed as bank statement. They
found hundreds of thousands of dollars were deposited into his
accounts from March twenty three to September twenty three. He'll

(23:11):
be back in court June. Third. Day's gonna be talking
something along those similar lines, with billions of dollars lost
to social media scams. That'll be up at six thirty
stick arounds five point thirty five. Right now, we'll get
to stack of stupid coming up or phone calls either way, be.

Speaker 11 (23:27):
Right back fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're one step bet talk station.

Speaker 11 (23:32):
Can you play John the Fisherman?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
By forty It must be Friday five three, seven point
fifty eight hundred and eighty two three talk or pound
five fifty one eighteen t phones. Oh look, stack is stupid,
but first, eh, we go to California this is insanity. Man.

(24:07):
Apparently there was a woman there living a double life.
Only fans model, and go ahead and do your own
research if you're not hit to OnlyFans. Also described as
a high end escort read prostitute, pleaded guilty the involuntary
manslaughter after one of her clients died of following some
sexual activity with her. Unusual. It was insane, it was close.

(24:29):
Joe Michelle Ryersdam, thirty two years old, be sentenced next
month to four years in prison. Four years after her client,
described as a fifty five year old named Michael Dale,
died from asphyxiation. We'll get to the details on that
a moment. He died in his home in Escondido, and

(24:50):
San Diego County already said the woman, who had repeatedly
been working in the industry for approximately ten years, was
based in a local county. Prosecutors Alledges the death resulter
from Ryer's Dam play are you ready? Would you sign
up for this? Duck? Cape over his mouth and a
plastic bag and saran wrap over his head during what

(25:10):
was described as a recorded encounter, because his limbs were
all good morning dead. Because his limbs were also bound,
he couldn't remove them from his head. Sounds like something
the Cameo rouge would do. He remained inside the bag
four about eight minutes. He was declared brain dead the

(25:31):
following day.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
In an interesting twist on relationships, her husband, who was
aware of her onlyfan site, also helped manage her business,
claim that she immediately called nine to one one after
the incident. Of course, nine one one after the eight
minutes of oxygen deprivation. All right, Joe, for those services
rendered you, assuming you were twisted and stupid enough allowed

(25:56):
total stranger to completely bind you and then cover your
head and deprive you of action. How much would you
pay for that service? The answer, there's no flag for us,
and thank god, eleven thousand dollars. Id God, it is

(26:19):
epic level. Oh it must be Friday. Oh all the
stack of naked stuff. Thank you. Joe Man, who was
completely naked carrying a shovel before being shot multiple times
by the Yuba City Police in February, has now been
released from the hospital is now facing a bunch of charges.
Thirty one year old Guillermo Figiora of Yuba City charged
with attempted murder, assault the deadly weapon, battery, resisting arrest, vandalism,

(26:42):
and committing a felony while on bail, and apartures in territory.
That's right. Joe happened February twenty six, Yuba City. He
was attempting to ram the front of a neighboring home.
Police got there, he fled on foot, later armed himself
with a shovel, and then got shot twice by police
when he attempted to hit the officers with said shovel.
Body camera footage, of course, was released. Taken to the

(27:03):
hospital and critical condition. Released April twenty seventh. They got
an arrest warrant and he was arrested at eleven am yesterday.
Naked man another one Boston, twenty eight year old man
arrested after a home owner city broke into his Boston
townhouse naked appeared to smoke crack pipe on his couch.
I think I read this one the other day. When
you're out, Joe. Boston police responded to radio call breaking

(27:25):
and entering by twenty minutes after eight and the morning
officers got there. They met with the homeowner said the
suspect was on the second floor yeah, I did read
this from the other Apologies for those to hear this
is a repetition. That's okay. Joe didn't hear it anyway,
police said. The man later identified as this mister Roman
guy Jane E. L. Roman, sitting on the toilet in
the second floor bathroom. Home owner said he woke up

(27:46):
at eight am, went downstairs and that's where he discovered
him on the couch, naked, smoking what appeared to be
a crack pipe. Neighbors said they saw locksmith installing a
new lock on the home that was broken into. Of
course they did. Somebody's gonna get shot. Beacon Hill resident

(28:07):
scary encounter happened on Saturday. He welcome discovered a naked
man downstairs on his couch. This is the same article.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I got to go through and read these ahead of time, Joe.
That will probably improve situation. Again, I am struggling with
chemo brain. It's a it's a protracted thing. Maybe if
I didn't have that, I would have had the prudence
in foresight to go through them all first. I got
a whole lot more different ones, but again reference to chemo.
I'll be off Monday and Tuesday. Dan Carl's gonna cover
from me while I try to recover from that. It
gets worse over the next several days, as regular listeners know,

(28:37):
but not asking for sympathy. I appreciate the shoutouts and
well wishes, certainly, but just giving me the lay of
the land and asking for a bit of forgiveness as
the consequence of my brain just simply not functioning well
over the last several months. Five forty five. Right now,
if it talks station five point fifty, I pety about
kercdi talkstay s Pardi. We da've had a coup at

(29:01):
six thirty. I've we can stick around for that one. Hey,
you feel free to call if you like. But beyond
that we go back to the stack of stupid and
I pre read all these Joe over the break, no
danger of repetition apologies. Uh Man accused of constantly exposing
himself and threatening others in Resita, California, finally arrested Gregor

(29:21):
and Williams forty four. Can you can imagine if this
guy's your neighbor, get a little what this guy was doing?
Garden Grove Avenue where you don't want to live? Neighborhood said,
they've been living in fear since he moved in a
few years ago. They described him as often exposing his
naked body from a bedroom window, where everyone, including children
in the neighborhood, are able to see him. They claim
he made threats to anybody he spotted, including one neighbor

(29:44):
who claimed he threatened to kill him and his dog.
A corner to the neighbor Rod veto he's screaming. He's
hanging out in the window naked, shaking his penis at everybody.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
Get delivererates in.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
At least so we could get int the penalty bucks
all by himself.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well, neighbor, I work from home, and I hear him
yelling all the time. It's NonStop, sometimes from morning until
three am, if not later, repeatedly exposing himself naked from
his window. She says, they're children around here. He'll people
in the neighborhood the n word, said discriminatory things about
women and men, blaming. It's just the nightmare. According to

(30:22):
the neighbors, he has no electricity at his home, so
he reportedly sets fire inside the house for warmth that night. Well,
you can pray for a carbon monoxide poisoning if you
are so inclined to do something like that, or maybe
his house will burned down. But in the meantime, authorities
finally dealt with him. I guess. Los Angeles Police Department
officers showed up around six pm to arrest him for
these criminal threats, taking to the patrol car, and of

(30:44):
course wailing and yelling at a group of neighbors. I
guess consistent with his normal behavior. He remains in custody,
being held on a seventy five thousand dollars bail. Hey, Joe,
what do you think that bill would be? If he
was in front of Judge Silverstein in Hamilton County, they
would have given him a cookie and a glass of juice.
I patted him and sent him on his way. Louisville

(31:06):
police looking for a man who, allegedly, Joe, are you ready,
hangs out naked at Cherokee Parking. That's what I was expecting,
local media said. Louisville metro Police said the man sometimes
fully naked at Cherokee Park and commits use your imagination
quote lewd acts clothes quote before running away. Police said,

(31:27):
what's happened in front of children? Great Police said he's
been reportedly seen near Hogan's Fountain if you're familiar with
the area of the lower soccer fields, yet pretty much
everywhere in the park. Police did not say whether the
suspect has physically touched anyone or made threats, but they're
asking you for help. Please call nine to one one
if you see him and report it what he is wearing,
if anything, as well as his direction of travel. Tech Friday,

(31:53):
Dave Hatter got a tech related story here. Forty year
old woman facing felony charges stole a man's cell phone
and then sent naked photos of the man involved in
a sexual situation with another woman. What's on your cell phone?
Why are you doing that? I'd recommend if you're taking
pictures of yourself having sex to anybody, not keep them
and probably shouldn't take them in the first place. Is

(32:14):
that old pesky cloud thing up there that it never
goes away anyway? That's my suggestion. You do what you want.
Griselda Ojedo de Legato Delgado charged with fellowing video of warriorism, publishing,
disseminating and selling sexual images or acts of another without
their consent. Court to the court records, Bingham County Sheriff's
met with a man, who reported oh Hada Delgado had

(32:36):
stolen his cell phone, then started sending out these new photographs.
Deputy spoke with her and she said that she denied
stealing it and denied sending the photos. The man and
his ex wife sent the photos she received to the deputy.
Corner the court documents, deputy found a translated Facebook message
sent from this woman to the man's ex wife stating
that the man had been cheating on her and that

(32:57):
she wanted to get even here we go.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Isn't that a just.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Walk away situation there? Joke? Yeah, I know message. I'm
sorry erased the pictures, but I'm suffering a lot because
he told me he didn't have anyone and when we
were still together, they sent each other all the filth
and I'm sorry. Oh heto o heya. Delgado finally admitted
to sending the naked photos. Anna warrant was issued for
her arrest, booked into the jail ten thousand dollars bond,

(33:24):
paid the bill, and got released the same day. Of course,
there's a no contact order issued and she's expected to
appear in court again. Charged with three god crimes doesn't
necessarily mean she committed them, though, not guilty until proven
beyond a reasonable doubt. Don't go away, pleay to talk
about the six o'clock hour, including yes, the reality living

(33:50):
unfolding faster than real time reality, that people hate democrats
policies and while they still can, they're running the hell
away from them. Don't go away, be right back.

Speaker 9 (34:04):
At the top of the hour.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Here the top story station Guaranteed Human six five.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
A tink you about kerr cecalk station. Try to make
it a happy Friday, Mother's Day, weekend, Happy Mother's Day,
all the moms out there. Coming up about on the
hour Tech Friday with Dave hatterc FTC data showing people
have lost billions of social media scams, modern headphones are
tracking more than music home I'm shocked, and researchers tracking
two point nine billion dollars in compromise credential. Dave Williams

(34:33):
one hour from now with the Text Payer Protection Alliance,
Democracy and Artificial Intelligence Global crackdown on United States streaming services.
They don't like US vapes in the FDA and Data
Center moratorium is not good. Apparently it puts the United
States at risk. Corey Bowman on a variety of topics
after Dave Williams. He'll be on a day oh five
primary comments. The summer city safety planet got rolled out.

(34:56):
Is that going to help? We may issue citations, but
we don't want to winsor with primary results and sudden
resignation of Attorney General Yostay, he's off to a political
advocacy law firm and it's going to be doing some
work on behalf of a conservative organization. David yost Out,
who will govern to Wine a point and will govern
to Wine. Roll back our gasoline taxes since Indiana, Kentucky,

(35:17):
you're doing it saving in Indiana. You guys got to
save almost sixty cents a gallon with the tax rollbacks.
Oh I figured it. Good morning, Dad, Here we go.
This just icing on the cake for me. Now, we've
been dealing with the phenomenon of people fleeing the over taxed,
heavily regulated states and moving to places where they have
economic and general freedom. There's a new study out Committee

(35:40):
to Unleashed Prosperity. Now it is a conservative economic group,
but you can't deny what they are saying here using
United States IRS taxpayer information in an analysis called Red
States versus Blue States, where the money went described as
a cumulative adjusted gross income analysis of gains and losses
because people are moving. Over this eleven year period twenty

(36:02):
twelve to twenty twenty three are the years that they analyzed.
Thirty one states that were carried by Donald Trump gained
a combined two point one nine nine trillion in net
adjusted income as a consequence of inbound migration. Nineteen states
plus Washington, DC. The Kamala Harris won net loss of

(36:22):
a comparable amount one point ninety six trillion.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
AH.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
That's where the money came from. And they say the
numbers keep getting bigger every year. Get access to IRS data.
Over the entire period saw the movement of two trillion
dollars worth of income. Florida who the big winners Florida
one point twenty nine to three trillion, Texas thirty three
hundred and seventy one billion, Arizona two hundred and three billion,

(36:46):
South Carolina, North Carolina each an additional one hundred and
eighty seven billion dollars, Nevada an extra one fifty Tennessee
one hundred and twelve, Idaho seventy two point two billion.
We point out nearly every blue state has lost income
because people fleeing the states. Those states won by Kamala Harris.
Colorado lost one hundred and twenty seven billion, Washington one

(37:07):
hundred and nineteen, Oregon sixty point eight steep losses shown
in oh Which states do you think had the biggest losses?
New York largest six hundred and sixty billion, California coming
to number two five hundred and three billion in Illinois
three hundred and ninety nine billion, New Jersey down two
hundred and twelve billion, Maryland, Massachusetts one hundred and twenty
billion off and one hundred and eighteen off, respectively. Here's

(37:31):
the bad news, folks. Ready, several Trump won states also
experienced losses. My friends in Pennsylvania are down one hundred
and fifteen and oh lo and behold, Ohio lost one
hundred and six billion, Which allows me to pivot over
to Kimberly Strassel standing on the shoulders of her column
the Red Blue Economic Divide. Now, let me ask you

(37:52):
this question. Are you planning on staying home in November
because gasoline's expensive? Or are you going to vote Democrat,
which is the exact same thing. It's a good question
to ask as I dive into Kimberly Strassel's comment, there's
a silver lining in the clouds that produced taste in
today's political storms. It's the growing obvious disparity between red
states and blue state economic models, which puts their theories

(38:15):
to a real world test. One side's doing all the winning.
You already know which side, beautifully illustrated this week via
the amusingly unequal battle between New York Mayor Johan Mandami
and Citadel CEO Florida resident Ken Griffin. Mam Dami provoked
it by using what is described as a malicious personal
attack on this billionaire p detur tax. I think I'm

(38:40):
pronouncing that right, p the a tour anyway, It's attacks
on second homes basically, and if video of the mayor
complained that rich owners of second homes in his city
don't pay their fair share, and then he pointed to
this multi billion dollars Penthouse hedge fund CEO Griffin bought
for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars. He still
in front of this guy's home, one citizen and one

(39:03):
person that Mom Dommi's supposed to represent. Citadel moved its
headquarters from Chicago to Miami back in twenty twenty two,
but still has a huge New York presence, made it
a draft target to pick getting out of there. Hedge
Funds team members have paid nearly two point three billion
dollars in city and state taxes in the past five

(39:25):
years alone. Citadel's deciding whether to redevelop Park Avenue office
that would create fifteen thousand permanent Midtown Manhattan jobs, a
project that he might pull the plug on because of
Mom Doami. Just how daft was made clearer this week
by the response from mister Griffin at Milliken Institute conference.
He said that mister Mandami's attack had helped clarify Citadel's future. Quote,

(39:48):
when we moved from Chicago, there was a debate between
New York and Miami. It's unquestionably true that we made
the right choice. And now what the Mayor of New
York has made clear to my partners in Princelyvine, in
my New York partners, is that we need to double
down on our bet in Miami because we want to
be in a state that embraces business, that embraces education,
that embraces personal freedom and liberty, and that embraces people

(40:10):
having an opportunity to live the American dream, and a
dream of earned success, not a dream of redistrative of
handouts that leave people dependent on government for their lives
and their livelihoods in a way that takes away dignity
and honor. Amen preach it from the highest mountain there,
mister Milkin, mister Momdamie responded by insisting New York's tax

(40:33):
system was unjust and that only after further taxing quote
the wealthiest New Yorkers close, quote, will the cityb one
that working people can actually afford to live in. Strassel
points out this is demonstrably untrue, as evidenced by Florida.
Miami Dade County has experienced booming growth, with working people
flocking to chase an explosion of businesses, jobs, and better lives.

(40:55):
Its schools are better than New York's. It's housing and
rent are half as expensive, It's utilities more affordable, it
is cleaner, it isn't teeming with vagrants, and you can
even visit a Walmart. Miami residents get all of this
because not in spite of zero state income taxes, zero
estate taxes, a manageable seven percent tax, and a sales

(41:19):
tax rather than a reasonable property tax and corporate taxes.
Those policies drive growth and revenue. By contrast, New Yorkers
stagger under tax and cost burdens. Combined state local income
tax fourteen point eight percent, state and city taxes of
nine percent. Nearly property taxes are huge, A heaving corporate

(41:42):
income tax, all for the joy of primy schools, insane
ren costly utilities in a collapsing transit infrastructure. More than
one hundred thousand people fled New York City last year alone.
This is the divide, and it's accelerating across this country.
Red states racing each other to compete for growth, cutting taxes,

(42:04):
slashing regulations, and acting government union reforms. South Carolina is
the latest to join the flat or zero tax movement,
the ninth state to do so since twenty twenty one.
Texas last year implemented the largest school choice program in
the nation, joining the sweeping universal choice movement. Cities vying
to become financial and tech hubs. By contrast, I love

(42:25):
the contrast progressives doubling down on taxes and redistribution. At
least eight states now have a quote unquote millionaire's tax,
several created in just the past year. At least a
dozen more sprint to adopt one. Blue states are promising
even bigger handouts or more quote unquote crackdowns on businesses,
greater union power, fewer police, even as crime rages, schools fail,

(42:48):
and the cost of living keeps increasing see a death spiral.
The chasms between these two approaches is now too wide
for businesses or average Americans to ignore, and it's what's
providing those fascinating real time results. Whereas businesses once felt
felt compelled to stay in Wall Street or Silicon Valley,
the downsides have grown too huge. Whereas working folks in

(43:10):
the past mainly relocated for weather or the occasional jobs,
which Americans are today moving aggressively on the basis of
economic policy. They're flocking to Florida, Texas, Utah, Tennessee, Georgia,
and the Carolinas, draining at a New York, Illinois, New Mexico, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, California, and Hawaii. The obvious success of one
model and the obvious failure of another is documented with

(43:33):
every one way U Haul rental, and it conjures up
the mind a future Mondami video, one in which the
mayor is still raving about injustice, but nobody has left
in New York to hear him. Kimberly Strassel, thank you
for allow me interject my personal comments. Kim Strassele, I
appreciate what you do. FIREE seven fifty dred and two

(43:57):
three talk. Got CJ on the line, Hang on, brother,
want to mention chaif facts KRETCH Talk station six fifty
five krc DE Talk Station. Mother's Day weekend. That a
great thing, David, call your mom. Call my mom every

(44:21):
single day and I Mom, I enjoy talking with you.
Mom thinks I do it out of a sense of obligation. No,
I do it because I love you, Mom, and I
enjoy catching up with you. Even only one day's activity
is worth. Uh So call your mom. Let's go to
the phone. See what CJ's got this morning. You two
can call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty eight
hundred and eight two three talk or hit pound five
fifty if you have an AT and T phone. CJ,
thanks for calling this morning.

Speaker 7 (44:42):
Happy Friday, Oh, Happy Friday to.

Speaker 12 (44:45):
You, and best wishes for your chemo and everything goes
well over the next week for you.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Thank you very to you, Thank you very very much.

Speaker 12 (44:56):
First and foremost, after that is this is real that
you're looking at this, And there's a reason why Democrats
are just going crazy over redistricting. Not only could they
lose you know, twelve seats this cycle alone, just from
redistricting third and twenty thirty two, they could lose up

(45:16):
to another fourteen to fifteen seats in Congress and they
will be shut out of Congress for over a generation
just simply because their liberal policies have literally.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
Driven out not the rich, not.

Speaker 12 (45:31):
Necessarily the poor, because the rich can afford to live
in California one hundred and eighty days a year for
all the nice weather live outside of California for one
hundred and eighty six or one hundred and eighty five
days a year in order to avoid the taxes. And
that's never going to change. And the poor will always

(45:52):
be in California right now due to all the crazy
stuff that they hand out. But the middle class is
just completely bailed.

Speaker 7 (46:00):
And there is one thing that you.

Speaker 12 (46:02):
Can look at where you know the middle class is left.
Try getting a U haul to lose California. It is
next to impossible. I heard that it is next to impossible.
You could it is cheaper to go to Yuma to
bring it back to San Diego, pay the mileage and
come to Ohio than it is to get the U
haul out of San Diego.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Well, according to that analysis, almost half. I was just
gonna say, according to the analysis that I read from,
people aren't choosing Ohio. We have lost one hundred and
six billion dollars. Is for the same reasons in California.
I guess has people aren't choosing Ohio as a destination state.
So maybe that U haul is actually going to Florida
or Texas or one of the other states that has
better taxation, regulatory environments.

Speaker 12 (46:46):
Oh and to be honest with you, it is like
you don't even you feel like you're going to have
it here in Ohio versus California. The only thing that
is more expensive is property taxes, and that's why that
is such a big issue here. And I will also
say this, when you start getting mayors like you do
in Seattle and Mom Donnie in New York, that mayor

(47:07):
in Seattle is a godsend to Republicans and even to
Rhinos because when she's sitting there laughing from her literally
lives in her mother's basement, still at forty five years
old with her husband, has never even lived barely in
an apartment for more than a couple of months at
a time on her own. And when she's telling Howard

(47:29):
Schultz at Starbucks, who is one of the most liberal
people in the world, that by we don't want you here,
and he takes his company off to Tennessee with that,
you know, what's happening in Seattle is going to get
just gross. It's gonna get absolutely horrible. And the problem
with this is is like in the book Animal Farm,

(47:53):
the ending, the good guys don't win because the bad
guys still.

Speaker 7 (47:57):
Have power, and it is the ending is.

Speaker 12 (48:00):
Incredibly depressing because the bad guys will never lose it
because everybody thinks it will only get better well, and
Seattle will continually fall down that rabbit hole until it's.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Too late, and then the people in charge will have
power over a wasteland. Because currently anyway, we have the
freedom of travel in this country. Think about that as
they try to stuff you into a remote controlled electronic vehicle.
Can you get out of dodge in the future? I
think they're planning for that, And Ken, I get to
thank you CJ awesome comments you got. Can we have

(48:30):
time for a quick call from j Jo. Real fast, Jay,
you got in the tailing of the segment. Welcome to
the program.

Speaker 13 (48:35):
Happy Friday, Hey, Happy Friday, Brian. Hey, great information regarding
red state versus blue state. But that's almost suggesting it's
binary data. But the results has proven by Ohio.

Speaker 14 (48:47):
Sounds like there's more like a spectrum HEREO is proving
that you have a rhino states that says they're blue,
or it says they're red but act blue.

Speaker 10 (48:58):
We could still lose.

Speaker 13 (48:59):
Which is why it is so important to show.

Speaker 14 (49:01):
Up for primaries, because that's when we.

Speaker 13 (49:03):
Get to choose how conservative our leadership is. If you
want to have a good state that you can or
hand off to the kids and the grandkids, we've got
to do better. But I thought that that was fantastic data.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Thank you, Jan. I'm really glad to hear back from you.
And you know, you have fifty states to choose from,
so you have a choice between fifty or better options.
And then, of course, if you're in California, the degrees
of better Ohio might look better. Just one of a
sort of on an Apple's Apples comparison to the data.
But Texas and Florida and other places. Tennessee are so

(49:37):
much better, so we start competing as a quote unquote
red state against other red states who are more conservative
and offer a better regulatory environment for individuals and businesses.
Of course, that analysis is going on real time, and
of course that's why, in spite of the fact that
we're so much better than California, Illinois, New York, we
are on the losing end of people packing up and
moving out, to the tune of one hundred and six

(49:58):
billion dollars in loss. You can still give a U
haul here in Ohio. Just point it out. Thank you,
Jay could to hear from you. Six twenty six fifty
six thirty one fifty by Kercity Talkstation. Happy Friday always
made well. The information may not make you happy, but
it's valuable. Interest it dot com is where you find
Dave Hatter and tech Friday. You can find Dave online,
get the resources he used in support of his comments

(50:19):
on this segment at LinkedIn dot com. To search for Dave,
how do you'll find He's got his substack list and
he'll tell you all about it in full detail. Dave Hatter,
Welcome back in a very Happy Friday. To you and
thank you to interest it your company for sponsoring this segment.
Business Career says you guys are the best in the
business when it comes to business computer needs. Could you
have you back on sir?

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Always my pleasure, Brian. I look forward to it each week.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Uh, people have lost billions to social media scams, consistent
with literally everything you've told us every week for the
past couple of years there, Dave, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Yeah, unfortunately, Brian. You know, I always hate to be
the bear or bad news, but I think it's good
to get some external validation of this sort of thing.
You know, I do talk about this stuff a lot.
I do a lot of in person presentations on this,
and you know, talk to a lot of medium and
small businesses. And I fully understand why people don't believe

(51:09):
the doom. I understand why people don't want to think
about this stuff. I mean, I get it right, But
I think it's it's important for folks to be able
to go out and see these government agencies that are
collecting data about these incidents and attacks and threats and
such that are out there. Because it's one thing to
go to Microsoft or Google or any of these big

(51:30):
tech companies who are ultimately trying to sell you something.
You know, it's it's another thing to come talk to
someone like me who ultimately, at the end of the day,
is trying to sell you something. Right, But the FTC
is not trying to sell you anything. Nor is the FBI.
And you know, there are two agencies that roll up
a lot of this data. So in this FTC report,
you know, the FBI every year, and we've talked about

(51:50):
it many times, puts out a report. Maybe we'll talk
about that one next week because it goes into a
lot more detail than this. This is focused exclusively on
social media. But just think about that for a second.
Billions of dollars just in social media loan. You know,
they're saying over two point one billion, and I need
to remind folks that's just what was reported. Yeah, you

(52:11):
know a lot of these crimes are not there's no
requirement to report them, especially if you're an individual. I
saw an FBI agent. There's there's an agent organization called Infraguard.
It's a public private partnership with the FBI and people
like me, companies like Intrust and other companies around town.
There's a Cincinnati chapter. In fact, one of my colleagues
runs it, and the whole idea is just information sharing,

(52:35):
trying to share with the FBI what we're seeing, trying
to hear from the FBI what they're seeing. Strong focus
on critical infrastructure, which you and I talk about all
the time, and I saw an FBI agent at one
of these events say they believe that only maybe ten
to twenty percent of all the actual crime that's happened
is ever reported to them. So my point, yeah, my
point even with this FTC thing, Brian, is that you know,

(52:56):
at two point one billion dollars for one year, they
say an eight x increase since twenty twenty. That's just
what they know about, so I can guarantee you the
number is a lot larger. And the point I'm trying
to get to is folks need to be skeptical. They
need to understand that social media is nothing more than
a giant channel for bad guys to get in to

(53:18):
get to you. Right, most of the criminals conducting this
fraud are not super technical wizards. They're not the elon
musks of cybercrime, if you will. They're con artists who
are using technology to get to you and steal your money,
and if I can get on Facebook and find you know,
several billion users or TikTok, Instagram, fill in the blank,

(53:40):
even things I wouldn't personally think of as much as
social media discord, Reddit, Slack, even video games. Right, there
are hundreds of thousands, millions, possibly billions of people in
these virtual spaces. If I can get in there, create
a fake profile, pretend to be someone else, whether it's
a romance scam, which continue to be one of the

(54:01):
top ways people lose money, or it's a hey, I
made a bunch of money in bitcoin or gold or
whatever it is. Right, they're connors. They'll say whatever they
need to say. Yeah, they'll they'll learn about you through
your profile and the things you're posting online. They might
you know, see look at your friends, and then create
a fake profile as one of your so called friends

(54:21):
that you don't really know. The point being they're professional
on artists using social media to reach you and then
unfortunately scam you, as this article points.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Out, you know, Dave and one thing that just popped
on my head this is this is like a televangelists
on steroids. You know, there's people that build people. Oh,
you need to send in you know X amount of
money for Jesus or whatever, and you know, you find
out that they're just spending on a lavish lifestyles. It
doesn't go to help people at all. This is like
that just exponentially increased. The net that you cast is

(54:57):
so much wider. With billions of people in the world,
you need some fraction of a percentage point to make
yourself millions of dollars. That's what it comes down to.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
That's exactly right, Brian. And it says in here most
of these scams that they again that were reported, it's
not all scams. They don't know about all scams.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
That's why I thought the religious minded out there, because
they probably wouldn't want to reveal that they have been
ripped off with some religious scam going on out there.
Exercise and abundance of caution.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Yes, And I just remind folks, even though I get
that it might be embarrassing if you fall and prey
to one of these scams, it is valuable for you
to report it to the FTC or the FBI. Maybe
it's some novel new approach they haven't seen before. They
can warrant about it. Plus it gives them more accurate
statistics to help paint a stronger picture of what's really
happening out there. But if you read this FTC article again,

(55:43):
I'll post it on my substack and link it from
LinkedIn and acts and such. You know, they talk about
some of the main types of scams out there. They
say that Facebook is by far the biggest mechanism for
the scams that were reported, but it's everywhere. It's all
the platforms. So yeah, folks, skeptical that soulmate you found
on Facebook or TikTok or whatever that seems to know

(56:04):
everything about you and like it has all the same
interests as you. Well, that may be because they see
everything you've posted and they're just turning the dials, you know,
based on what they know about you to create that
rapport and relationship.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Don't go away. Modern headphones tracking more than just music
And I know kidding. Dave had her on that next
first butt overmotors cautation. Thanks to interest it dot Calm
for bringing Dave hat or here I'm thinking about Theresey
morning sure every week of Talk Tech. Oh I laugh
when I saw this one. No kidding, Modern headphones tracking
more than just music, Dave Internet of things. Maybe.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Ah well, Brian, as you know, I'm not a huge
fan of the Internet of Things. Oh you talk about
this all the time. Yeah, And for what it's worth,
I created a separate substack where all I'm doing now
is just collecting articles like this so people can see
for themselves that when you hear me talk about why
you don't want a room to sweeper or some kind

(56:59):
of IoT doorbell or whatever. And again, folks, reminder, Internet
of things, smart device, it's your internet connected coffee maker, doorbell, refrigerator,
washer dryer, et cetera. But it's also your car now.
I mean increasingly, yes.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Down sensors in automobiles, Joe, that's coming our way. Sensors
to detect your eye movements and your your focus on driving. Least,
you have a choice if you want an Internet of
Things device or you don't. You have an option to
not get it. This is going to be mandated. We
are not going to have the freedom to choose whether
we want to get an Internet of Things device or not.
That frankly pisses me off.

Speaker 3 (57:36):
We should we should make a point to talk about
that as a separate topic, Brian, And you know Rush
predicted this in nineteen eighty one with the song Red Barchetta.
We can oh, yeah, yeah, we can have Joe queue
that up and well we can that the whole car
space could easily we could talk about it for the
whole thirty minute.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Yeah, but that was a gleaming alloy aircar, not an
electric vehicle in that in that song. Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
A country place no one knows about anyhow. My problem
with so much of this stuff is you get opted
into things if they're collecting data that you don't understand
or even possibly believe it can be collecting. You don't
know where it's going, you don't know who has access
to it, you don't know who it's being sold to.
You don't know what the consequences to you are of that.

(58:20):
And so much of these so called smart devices. You know,
as I say all the time, they're not geared towards
your privacy and security. That's not the incentive for them
to be in the market. They're geared towards ease of use,
market share, speed to market, and collecting as much of
your data as possible, because the data is where the
real money is. Look at the profit margins of companies
like Google and Meta who basically make virtually nothing. They

(58:43):
just provide so called free services to you, collect your
data and turn in you know, billions and billions of
dollars a year. But this was an interesting art article
came from the Wirecutter section of the Times. They focus
exclusively on technology, and I just want to read a
little bit of it here. So again, this isn't my opinion.
This is what the report and the editors you know,
have turned up from their research. Over time, they've added microphones,

(59:07):
control buttons, and bluetooth chips, meaning of the headphones. Those
chips have become increasingly advanced in line manufacturers to add
features like adaptive active noise cancelation, heart rate tracking, body
temperature measurement, location tracking on BOYD voice controls, AI power
transcription and translation, audiogram based sound adjustment, and even brainwave
monitoring activity. So you plug these things into your ears

(59:30):
and they're potentially capturing all this and maybe more data
depending on the advanced nature of the sensors that are
in these things. Where is that data going? You know,
if it's an Apple AirPod, is it only going to Apple?
Do you care that Apple has all this information? Maybe not?
I do I wouldn't use any of this. But if
it's not Apple, if it's some third party brand, So
now it's going to your phone, it's going to this

(59:51):
third party, who knows where it's going, who knows what
they're doing with it, who knows who they might be
selling it to. There's no hip or protection on any
of this health related data or people making decisions about
whether they should rent to you or whether they should
provide insurance to you as a result of data like
this that they're buying. Maybe, So again, I'm not inherently
against this stuff, Brian, I'm against the fact that it's

(01:00:14):
the capabilities are rapidly increasing, the data collection is rapidly increasing.
People don't understand what data is collected, they don't understand
how it can be used, they don't understand how to
turn it off, and that it's almost always they opt
you in as soon as you sign up. And if
you don't want these sorts of capabilities, if they're even
if they can even be disabled, you have to dig
down into it and figure out how to turn it off.

(01:00:36):
So I would encourage people before you buy any IoT device,
but especially something that is touching your body and potentially
collect this sort of very sensitive data about you with
zero privacy protection outder than whatever they claim they'll do. Again,
there's no hippo or anything like that. You should think
about it. You should read the privacy policy, which will
probably be an eighty page confuse optly of mumbo jumbo

(01:00:58):
that will be completely InCom prehensible, and then you know,
choose accordingly. There's nothing wrong with getting headphones that have
a cord to plug into your device and don't do
any of this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Got some of those on right now, Dave Hatter. Yes,
Dave Hatter. We'll continue with Dave. We'll talk about researchers tracking.
Oh look five P fifty and fifty five kr CD
talk station after the top of the our news Dave
Vollyams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Great topics with Dave
is always hope you can stick around for that. Meantime,
another Dave. Dave Hatter's on the phone Tech Friday with
Dave Hatter, Intrust dot Com and look compromise credentials Dave Hatter.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Pretty significant numbers, it is, Brian, and I want to
want to just start out and tell you that you
occasionally because people see me out talking about this because
I'm on the radio or TV or whatever. You know,
people will just individuals will call at Intrust and want
help with this, you know. And unfortunately, as a business,
you know, we don't really come out and help individuals.

(01:01:54):
It just doesn't make sense financially. But I always try
to be helpful for folks because again I understand how
problematic some of this stuff can be. And I had
a very nice lady call. She thinks that, you know,
perhaps some of her devices, her Internet of Things devices
we just talked about. And when I post my links,
Brian again, I'll post the links specifically to just the

(01:02:14):
substack I've started on the Internet of Things, And all
I'm really doing is is just showing a list of
all the different problems that are keep cropping up in
the news, and think concerns you should have. She thinks
her devices are compromised. So we have a conversation and
we get back to passwords and multi factor authentication. Now,
I want to be clear, multi factor authentication is not bulletproof.

(01:02:34):
It's increasingly being defeated, but it still makes you way
more secure than people who don't have it, especially when
you've used the same password across all your devices. Then
you know that's kind of what this article is talking about. Here.
Another recent article from Security Week, a very well known
magazine that nerds like me read, analysis of six billion
passwords shows stagnant user behavior. Most common stolen passwords one two, three, four,

(01:02:56):
five six adminuted password. So not only do the bad
guys know that people have these bad habits, and they'll
use a week password on all their accounts or multiple accounts.
Think about this for a second, Brian, do you think
that it would be harder to pack through someone's firewall
and get into their systems to do whatever Nefari's teach

(01:03:17):
you want? Then it would be to guess crack or
buy a password off the dark web and just walk
right into your accounts.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
I think the latter is the obvious answer to that.
But everybody should be using password one two three as
their password.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Yeah, make sure you do that, and when you do,
just go ahead and take all your money put it
in a pile on the front stoop with a sign
in the front yard that says this is steal my
money if you're using these weak passwords real.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Quick, Dave, going back to your point about information sharing,
I don't care I've got nothing. I don't care if
they take my information. What about your dog's name or
what about something like that? People use their dog's name
or their mother's name or whatever. Regular things that people
can easily find on the internet will be tried and
the neffortble you made all the normal stuff that people
kind of de fault to. So do something really less.
Are on weird and get a password manager right day.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
Matter that's exactly right. Get a password manager. Turn on
MFA for all your accounts. The password manager, I would
recommend one password. It's number one password. I'll put this
in the links today too. There are other good password
managers out there keeper you can use like c net,
zd net, various magazines to see what their editors think

(01:04:24):
of various password managers. But whether you get a password
manager or not, which I recommend, you need strong unique
passwords on all your accounts. Again, if I'm a criminal,
and I can use a tool that will just attempt
to brute force your passwords until it guesses one or
to your point, I can see your dog's name, your
kid's name, or whatever online. Again, six billion passwords shows

(01:04:46):
these patterns. The bad guys know what people who aren't
ten four hat nuts like me are doing. They know,
and I want to. I want to make one last
point before we run out of time, folks, if you
don't have strong unique passwords and MFA on your critical
accounts like your bank account and so forth, you're going
to get hacked. But I would also tell you, and
I hear this all the time, why I don't care.
I don't have anything in my email. Think about this

(01:05:08):
for a second, prime and all your listeners. If you've
had to reset a password on any account before, how
does that typically work? Well? It sends an email to
the email address on file for you, and then you
click a link, You go in, you enter a new password.
You're good to go. If I can get into your email,
I can see every password reset you've done. I can
see everyone you've done business with if you've ever gotten

(01:05:30):
an email from them. If I can get into your
email account, I can change your password, lock you out
of the account, and now start resetting the passwords on
all of your accounts, including your bank. I now owned you.
I can wreck your life. I can steal all of
your money by taking over your email account. Happy, I must, Yes,
you must have a strong password, unique password on your

(01:05:52):
email account and any critical account. You must turn an
MFA and a year after year, these password analysis like
this of the data that's leaked again the billion six
billion in this one case, the bad guys know how
to get your stuff strong unique password, MFA at minimum
Password manager, do it today.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Two factor authentication, yes, do it, do it. It can
be a pain from time to time, but I really
really get a lot of comfort from the two factor
authentication because I'm the only ones got the cell phone.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Yeah, and keep in mind bran that know itself again
not bulletproof, No, you can work around that, but it's
it's much much harder. And in most cases there, unless
you are being targeted, they're just gonna move on. They
don't want to spend too it three days there you
go attacking you when they can walk right into someone
else's account and take whatever it is they want.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Right like speed bumps on a road, you're gonna drive
slower because you can't crash the speed bumps. Screw that,
I'm gonna move on to something else and go after
someone who hasn't listened to dave hat or interest it
dot com and of course LinkedIn dot com. Search for
Dave hat Or you'll find him, get the links to
these stories and all the other things that he's doing
throughout the week. Keep up the great work, and thanks
to all the help you provide businesses in the Tri
State area through in trust it find them again online

(01:07:02):
interest it dot com. We'll do it again next Friday.
Dave hat Ter, have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, my
friend seven oh five fifty five KR City Talk Station.
Regular listeners know that bumper music is in honor of
my next guest from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. You can
find them online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Dave Williams,

(01:07:25):
my friend, welcome back to the morning show. A very
happy Friday and a happy Mother's Day weekend.

Speaker 11 (01:07:28):
You sir, good morning.

Speaker 15 (01:07:31):
And I feel like that's my walk up music. You
know how batters have walk up music.

Speaker 11 (01:07:35):
Oh yeah, this is mine.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
This is this is my walk up mine. Mine is
Animal by the band Tool. I've been playing that as
the opening song for my fifty five cars morning show
since pretty much. I started a solo career on the
morning show nineteen years ago, and they play that when
I do speeches. It always cracks me up because The
lyrics aren't exactly FCC compliant, but they sum up my
mentality come one hundred percent. So check it out for yourself. Anyway,

(01:07:58):
Dave Williams, we are going to dive into f let's
see here, democracy and artificial intelligence.

Speaker 15 (01:08:06):
Yeah, this is fascinating, Brian, because obviously artificial intelligence AI
is really kind.

Speaker 11 (01:08:11):
Of taking over, and it has been for a number
of years.

Speaker 15 (01:08:14):
And I think that's what people don't realize is that
we have been using artificial intelligence a lot for the
past ten, fifteen, twenty years.

Speaker 11 (01:08:21):
I mean, listen, spell check, that's AI.

Speaker 15 (01:08:24):
I mean, obviously the most simple of AI, but it is,
and it's making businesses more efficient, it's improving people's lives.
But that doesn't mean we turn a blind eye to
what the potential is. But also some of the pitfalls
and some of the problems with AI, and a lot
of people are concerned.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
What are the pitfalls and problems? Since you mentioned spellcheck,
I think it is responsible for dumbing people down a lot.
I have become less able to spell a given probably
more complex word. I can still spell the word the
but if I'm thinking of a word that typically can
be misspelled. You used to have to really I on
your own intellect and memory and or just go to

(01:09:02):
a dictionary to look it up, which I think serve
to help improve your intellect because you don't have to
do that every time. Once you learn how to properly
spell a word. If you're using spell check, it's just
like it's lazy boom and you move on and you
didn't even think about it.

Speaker 11 (01:09:14):
Just yes, and there's grammar check.

Speaker 15 (01:09:18):
I mean, now you have I'm just which is uh,
Now it's humbling, just say the least.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
It's humbling. But I think that is an often overlooked feature.
If it's out in the world. I think a lot
of people are ignoring that as a feature because you see,
you see grammically and grammically incorrect things all the time,
grammatically in correct things all the time. It's speaking in grammar.

Speaker 15 (01:09:37):
Speaking of yes, absolutely, And you know I do a
lot of editing on a day to day basis.

Speaker 11 (01:09:42):
And yeah, I've seen some doozies.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
All right, sorry about driving out that cull to sect,
but let's move on with this one. What's going on?
What's what's further to this? We got stuck on spellcheck
thanks to my spell.

Speaker 15 (01:09:58):
Really the democratization of open AI and making sure that
there are guardrails right is right Now the states are
looking to regulate artificial intelligence that you know, fifty states,
you know, thousands of different bills. That's chaos, Brian, that's
absolute chaos. Because if you're a business or you know,
big or small, and you're trying to deal with Ohio,

(01:10:21):
Kentucky and they have two different rules when.

Speaker 11 (01:10:23):
It comes to AI and how you can use it,
that makes no sense.

Speaker 15 (01:10:26):
And listen, I'm not a big fan of the federal
government legislating, but there has to be a national framework
to put these guardrails up on AI and what we
what they can do, what they can't do. So I
think that's where and I hope that's the direction we're going.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
Now.

Speaker 15 (01:10:39):
What happened a few years ago, This is when Joe
Biden was still president. He saw the movie Mission Impossible,
where AI took over the world. And I mean, I'm
not lying about this. It freaked him out and he said,
we have to do something. And whenever the government says
we have to do something, of course, it sends a
chill down your spine. But when it comes to you know,

(01:11:00):
and really, you know, privacy, internet privacy, and some other issues.

Speaker 11 (01:11:03):
The federal government needs to take the lead on this.

Speaker 15 (01:11:06):
I'm sorry, but it's just you can't have a patchwork
of regulations across the country.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
And I understand that question is the growing opposition to
AI generally speaking, price of electricity has gone up. People
fear that the AI centers in their neighborhood's going to
cause their bills to go back up. I know that's
a great, a terrible thing, and that may be one
of the great reasons for resisting it. However, this I point.
I have concerns about AI generally speaking too, But the

(01:11:32):
world is moving in this direction. If we don't get
on top of it and get ahead of the rest
of the world, and we refuse to adopt this type
of technology, love it or hate it, it's coming and
our failure to adopt it may be and motivated in
part by some propaganda coming from around the world to
tell us to not adopt it. I mean, there's all
kinds of propaganda floating around, and people get ideas in
their head that it's terrible and the end of the

(01:11:54):
world's coming. But you know who benefits from that if
we don't adopt it China, for example, the Chinese Communist
Party and other foreign nations. I mean, you know, I
don't know what's going to become of this, but apparently
we need to be part of it, or we are.
If we don't, it's to our own peril. Is there
any truth behind my ramblings there, Dave had Dave Williams.

Speaker 11 (01:12:12):
There's a lot of truth behind that.

Speaker 15 (01:12:13):
And let's look at the data centers, and you know,
people are concerned about the electricity usage. Absolutely should be right,
but there's a lot of myths and realities with data
centers or you know, you look at the water usage,
and yes, they use a lot of water.

Speaker 11 (01:12:28):
You know what uses more water? Golf courses.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
Yeah, but I'm glad you brought that up because fun fact,
the golf course water goes into the ground and therefore
you can't use it or to any other purpose. It's
basically quote unquote gone, although the plants enjoy the benefit
of it. With AI centers, the water only cools the
equipment but then is returned back to the water source.
Am I wrong?

Speaker 11 (01:12:51):
No, You're absolutely right.

Speaker 15 (01:12:52):
And I don't see anyone with pitchforks at a golf
course trying to shut them down.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
And don't give me idea data centers. I don't golf, Dave,
and I choose not the golf rather, But you know,
I know a lot of people who do. They will
be upset by that.

Speaker 15 (01:13:06):
Yeah, and I mean, you know, data centers they're hiring
people of really good jobs.

Speaker 11 (01:13:11):
They're talking about six figure jobs.

Speaker 15 (01:13:13):
And again, you know, no free ride for any tech company,
for any company that they don't get to, you know,
mooch off of the electric grid. They have to pay
their fair share and more. And a lot of them
are willing to do that. But you know it can't
be corporate welfare, Brian. We can't say, okay, big tech,
whatever you want, you get, That's not how it works.
They have to pay for the upgrades and make sure

(01:13:35):
that electricity prices don't surge in areas because of the
data centers.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
Well, and there's some good that can come of this.
I loved the fact that the folks behind the AI
data centers are no longer global warming climate change fanatics.
They realize that, Hm, we do need an abundance of power.
Windmills and solar panels aren't going to provide it. Hey,
how about we bring along and here my listening audience goes,
we know what's common time, small modular reactors. They are

(01:14:01):
embracing the idea that we should get hit the ground
running with small modular reactors, small footprint. Apparently they've pretty
much close to zero radioactive waste and they produce no
carbon dioxide. Problem solved.

Speaker 15 (01:14:15):
Very cool, And they've been talking about this for a
few years now, and I can't wait until the first
one is deployed so people can see that these things
actually work and that they're not dependent upon the grid
and other people's electricity. And you know, this is something
that you know, the first company that's able to do this,
I think, is just going to pave the way for
everybody else. But of course we have federal, state, and

(01:14:39):
local governments standing in the way when it comes to permitting.
You know, so many issues, brianding, you know, permitting water.
It's just very complicated, but it's important to talk about.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
It's really important to talk about. Again we're going in
that direction. I guess the larger problem is it's also impacting.
I mean, we realize that our grid is insufficient to
handle whatever power increases we want to put on them.
So we've got a lot of rebuilding and upgrades to
do in this country. It's going to come at a
great expense, and it's going to take a really long
time to get to where we need to be.

Speaker 11 (01:15:10):
Yeah, And you.

Speaker 15 (01:15:11):
Know, when I look at AI, I look at it
as a tool. And just back you know, hundreds of
years ago, when the first shovel was created, the shovel
was a tool. Now you could pick up that shovel
and hit someone over the head with it, right, You
could still use it as a weapon. You can use
AI as a weapon. But it's helping people. It's helping business.
It's helping small business. That's what I don't think people

(01:15:33):
kind of grasp is that AI is helping small business
be more efficient.

Speaker 11 (01:15:37):
And that's good. We want more businesses to prosper and
to thrive.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
We do, and then they're the correlator to that is,
businesses often prosper and survive because things like AI streamline
processes and therefore you do not need to hire someone
to do something for the job. You can get AI
to do it. And that's the rub and the whole analysis,
isn't it.

Speaker 15 (01:15:56):
It is And as this society we have always adjusted.
Did you know the Industrial Revolution. You know, we figured
out that it doesn't.

Speaker 11 (01:16:04):
Take away jobs, it creates jobs. And I think AI
is going to be the same. When we look back
on this, we're.

Speaker 15 (01:16:09):
Going to see that it creates jobs. And like you said,
we are in competition with China. China is a very
you know you're gonna laugh when I say this, but
a very permissive society. And when it comes to building things,
because they don't have laws, they don't have regulations, they
don't have permitting. If they want to build something, they
build it. They don't ask any questions, they just do it.
And that's why you know they're going to be ahead

(01:16:29):
of us if we don't do something.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
Coming up, we've been talking about what today's favorite topics,
considering his father died of lung cancer as being smoker.
FBA is trying to help us out, help us, help you,
just like they did during Prohibition when they banned alcohol
because it was sinful and did bad things to people.
That worked out great. Coming them up. Dave Williams Taxpayer
Protection lines on.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
That station.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Just Shya seven twenty here fifty five KCD talk station.
It's Friday, doing that Taxpayer Protection Alliance discussion with our
friend Dave Williams, the Taxpayer Protection Alliance. Find them online,
learn what they do all the time. Maybe help them
out you can. It's protecting Taxpayers dot org. Topic near
and dear to your heart. You know, Dave Williams, I
was doing my prep for yesterday yesterday for the show
this morning, and I put your name right at the

(01:17:17):
top of this article that I found, and lo and
behold this morning when I woke up, you have a
topic involving the FDA trying to engage in some harm
product protection involving tobacco and vape products. Don't import UK's
tobacco prohibition experiment to America America, writes Christina Smith in
this op ed piece, Isn't it interesting? Tightening restrictions on

(01:17:39):
vapes and other nicotine products does not reduce the demand.
It just shifts people over to the black market. It
does not slower cigarette smoking rate at all. In fact,
you know, when you take away alternatives to real tobacco,
people go back to real tobacco. And of course they've
they've banned tobacco purchasing for anyone born honor after January first,

(01:18:01):
two thousand and nine, permanently never allowed to buy tobacco
products in the UK, but then they're taking away the
vape options as well. This sounds like prohibition, David. That
didn't work out too well, did it. What's the FDA
doing now?

Speaker 15 (01:18:13):
Well, the FDA did something miraculous. Is that they approved
flavored vapes for.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
At all ah, the opposite direction.

Speaker 11 (01:18:23):
Yes, and this was amazing.

Speaker 15 (01:18:24):
I think it was what mango and blueberry vapes for.
And again for adults over twenty one. You know, if
you were under twenty one, you were not allowed to
buy these products, and you should not be allowed to
buy these products. And you referenced my father. He was
sixty three when he passed.

Speaker 11 (01:18:41):
I'm sixty. I turned sixty this year.

Speaker 15 (01:18:44):
It is frightening to think that I am three years
away from the age where my father passed.

Speaker 11 (01:18:48):
Now, listen, I don't smoke, I don't vape. I don't
use pouches. But people that do smoke, please find an
alternative because cigarettes will kill you and they will destroy
your life.

Speaker 15 (01:19:01):
And you know, whether it's pouches or again vaping or
ease cigarettes, I encourage people because each products have been
studied over and over again.

Speaker 11 (01:19:11):
You mentioned the UK. They're saying you can't.

Speaker 15 (01:19:13):
Smoke after you know, a certain age, well in two thousand,
if you're born after two thousand and nine, that's not
gonna stop smoking. What that's going to do is drive
everything underground. We have seen this time and time again, Brian.
Is that and you mentioned prohibition the same exact thing.
There's gonna be cigarettes speakeasy in the UK. Mexico, the

(01:19:36):
country of Mexico has banned vaping.

Speaker 11 (01:19:38):
The cartels are involved in vaping now oh yeah, from moving.

Speaker 15 (01:19:42):
Away from fentanyl, and they're involved in vaping because that's
where the money is. It's because it's illegal, and government
officials are clueless. They think that if you ban something,
people stop doing it. No, they find another way to
do it.

Speaker 11 (01:19:57):
It's human nature.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Yeah, And you know the odd thing about it is
people out there in the world that demand will never
go away. And then the epic stupidity that people this shows.
It reflects the craziness of the demand. You mentioned cigarettes.
If they don't start, you never get I mean, you
won't get lung cancer from smoking, if you don't smoke,
no kidding, you won't drop dead by injecting fentanyl. And
yet people aware of the risk and knowing that it's

(01:20:19):
out there in the world and watching their friends around
them drop dead for years and years and years, they
still do it. What I'm not advocating for the legalization
of fentanyl necessarily that that experiment hasn't worked out real
well in cities like Seattle. But you know, something be
said that with the stupidity of people's human nature generally.

Speaker 15 (01:20:39):
And you know, at the heart of this is nicotine,
right is We've had nicotine replacement therapies for years, for decades.
Gum gum doesn't work for some people. But nicotine is
not the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:20:53):
No, it isn't.

Speaker 11 (01:20:54):
It's the stuff that is wrapped in that tobacco heap,
all the carcinogens that you're inhaling when you like that cigarette.
And what you have now are different nicotine.

Speaker 15 (01:21:03):
Delivery systems, whether it's pouches, whether it's vapes. And you know,
nicotine is like caffeine. You know, does it affect you. Absolutely,
Caffeine effects you.

Speaker 11 (01:21:12):
I don't hear anyone trying to ban caffeine. And why
not flavors again, my dad, my dad had a sweet tooth.
I could totally see him with a vape with watermelon flavor.
You know, cotton candy.

Speaker 15 (01:21:24):
The guy had a sweet tooth, right, and I wish
these products were available in the nineteen seventies instead of
riding in a car with him to school, windows up,
air conditioning on UH.

Speaker 11 (01:21:34):
One cigarette after another.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
It was brutal, well, which negates the idea that you'd
never smoked there, Dave, but he basically did for all
the time he was around you. And you know, I
feel so terrible for you having to experience the loss
of your father, but it does serve as an excellent
point when you're trying to bring this reality, this regulatory
environment up. And you know, the other component of this
approval process in the United States, they're so slow to

(01:21:57):
approve any given product, like they have approved the sale
of and I think it's because they're connected to well
in big money lobbying groups like the tobacco companies, which
have gotten deep involved in vaping. But you can only
buy certain products. Others you can get at these these
you know, vape shops from all over the world, but

(01:22:17):
they're not licensed. I guess under federal law they aren't
approved by the FDA.

Speaker 15 (01:22:23):
They're not approved by the FDA, so that means the
FDA shuts them down, and I guarantee you there are
people listening right now that are vapors that use these
products and swear by them and swear by them in
a good way. You know, how they've changed their lives
going from smoking to really becoming you know, a less
harm these less harmful alternatives. And you know a lot

(01:22:44):
of these places that are mom and pop shops that
are putting these vape liquids together. And it's really a
fascinating community once you get involved in. And I've spoken
to many of these people and they're not big tobacco,
they're small town vape shops.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Yeah. Well, you make excellent points, Dave. I cannot argue
with him, and I just you know, I don't like
nanny stage the shocking statement from my listening audience, but
it's anyway. But I'm glad to see though. The bright
news and all this is that they are moving toward
expanding the opportunities for people to choose from various products.

(01:23:20):
And again, I think in the name of improving health.
It seems to be sort of contra counterintuitive to one
having vapes out there and more quantity, But the flip
side is more people will smoke or you create a
black market and again a lesson learned from prohibition and
what they're learning in the UK real time right now
black market is growing by leaps and bounds seven twenty

(01:23:40):
six right.

Speaker 11 (01:23:40):
And it's going to be a case study of the
black market in the UK.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
Just watch, Oh yeah, learn from others' mistakes. Dave Williams
will continue with Dave don't go away at seven twenty
six right now if you have CARES talk station seven
thirty one, if you have care CD talk station, Happy Friday.
From the text their Protection Alliance online at Protecting Taxpayers
dot org, book markets. You know, with Dave Williams and
the team, they are doing for you every day holding

(01:24:06):
government accountable, or at least trying to do it by
raising our awareness about the government accountability needs pivoting or
let's stick with the FDA. From the Protecting Taxpayers dot
our website, Ross Marsha and Marshan writing about rejecting RFK
Junior's Food Safety Plan Healthier America legislative proposals on their
regulation and oversight of food. That was a hearing they
had the other day. What's this one all about, Dave Williams, Well, you.

Speaker 11 (01:24:29):
Know this is the Mahad movement make America healthy again?

Speaker 15 (01:24:32):
And you know very much support people being healthy, but
you have you have RFK Junior, who is you know,
putting mandates on food and really not making America healthy again.

Speaker 9 (01:24:46):
That's the problem.

Speaker 11 (01:24:46):
And you know, the FDA.

Speaker 15 (01:24:48):
I don't know if if people realize just how much
influence the FDA has in everyone's life on a daily basis,
and really the foods we eat, the prescriptions that we
were allowed to take that are approved, and you.

Speaker 11 (01:25:00):
Know, we just don't see a lot of leadership coming
from RFK Junior.

Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
Well, what of this generally recognized as safe grass thing
that they're apparently going to require food manufacturers to go
through and provide notifications for. Is this going to raise
the price of our food or how will this allegedly
bring about some better, healthier American diet.

Speaker 15 (01:25:21):
I'm not sure it's going to bring about a healthier diet,
but it will raise the price of food. Whenever you
have any sort of regulation, that always raises the price
of food. And that's what we're concerned about, is that
there's too much manipulation of a regulation and of food
and these are regulations that don't go through Congress, and
really Congress has abdicated a lot of their responsibility here.

(01:25:42):
You know, they might have a hearing or two, but
after that, there's really nothing that they do to manage
the Food and Drug Administration or the Health and Human
Services Department of Health and Human Services.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
Well, do the food manufacturers have maybe a Major Questions
document or Major Questions argument they could bring to court, Like,
wait a second, they did not delegate this degree of
authority to regulate how we manufacture food. It's outside of
the scope of whatever regulation they're springing from.

Speaker 11 (01:26:11):
We're starting to see that.

Speaker 15 (01:26:12):
And Ross marsh until you mentioned he's our executive director,
has a law degree, and we've been filing Amiekas briefs
at the state and federal level when it comes to
these regulations, because we feel that there's a lot going
on here. There's freedom of speech issues, there's overregulation, and
so it's something we're getting more involved. And I remember,
you know, back in April, I think Joe was telling

(01:26:33):
me April first was the last time we spoke, April
Fool's Day, and you mentioned, you know, what is the
Taxpayer's Protection Alliance? You know, what do we do to
affect change one of it, you know, are amikas briefs
and trying to you know, get the court's attention and
to change what the federal government is doing and what
these agencies are doing, and a lot of agencies. You know,
this is authority that they previously didn't have and they're

(01:26:56):
taking for themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Yeah, and I know this is I suppose arguably a
more altruistic road that RFK Junior is going down. And
I like some of the things he's done. You know,
a lot of things controversial, and I kind of take
a sit on the fence approach to it, But overall,
I think it's a good thing that he's bringing awareness
about our diets to our attention, that the idea of
going against processed food just choose not to eat them,

(01:27:18):
as opposed to Dave telling them how to make them.
An educated population, that's where the food additives and problems
with processed food will reject those over time, I would hope,
much in the same way awareness about cigarettes causing cancer
will pushed a whole lot of people to just quit
smoking just because they got the information.

Speaker 11 (01:27:37):
Well, and look at GMOs genetically modified organisms. That sounds
really scary, doesn't it. And some people are really afraid
of GMOs. Well, they are saving lives.

Speaker 15 (01:27:48):
In countries that need food because they're able to produce
food at an incredible level.

Speaker 11 (01:27:55):
So science is working on our behalf.

Speaker 15 (01:27:57):
And a food company's goal is not to kill you,
it's to sell product. And this reminds me of the
fugitive is when a pharmaceutical company, why would they create a.

Speaker 11 (01:28:07):
Pill that kills you. It's not what they're in business for.

Speaker 15 (01:28:11):
So food companies, you know, do they need to be
policed and they monitored. We're already doing that, so I
think it's just really micromanaging what they can put in
the ingredients.

Speaker 1 (01:28:23):
I just thought of a conspiracy theory, Dave, where we
take a break and come back to my conspiracy theories,
or as they like to be referred to, pattern observer friends.
Maybe the idea of getting rid of GMOs to reduce
the quantity of food that is produced is a direct
relationship to controlling the population, Dave. I just put that
in people's minds. See I can come up with them too.

(01:28:44):
Although ill gott to get chimed in right now. No, no,
that's actually going on. Here's a link to an article
I found out on the internet, because anything you read
on the Internet, of course, is true. That's what Abraham
Lincoln said. Don't go away more with Dave Williams Taxpayer
Protection Alliance deaf by a thousand quotas a crackdown on
us street Tom's talking well overreach of government taxpayer protection lines.

(01:29:05):
Dave Williams again protecting taxpayers dot or Dave got a
chuckle as I mentioned my conspiracy theory, and I was
taking credit for coming up with it. No, lo and
behold my friend Maureen. Good morning, Maureene. That's what I
was thinking of. Had already sent me an instant message
about the GMO products unless you have a population agenda.
I didn't see that before I made my comment. She said,

(01:29:29):
great minds, of course, great minds think life, see Dave,
and there you go, GMO, GMO getting rid of them
is for the purpose of population control. Okay, you can
agree or believe whatever you want. Pivoting over a consumer
watchdog exposing the global crackdown on US streaming services. Why
are they cracking down on our streaming services? I think

(01:29:50):
maybe has something to do with the idea that we
have free speech and the free exchange of ideas. In
large part on our social media and places like well,
I don't know, Iran, do'te.

Speaker 11 (01:30:03):
Well, listen, the European Union, Canada, Australia.

Speaker 15 (01:30:07):
They want money and they found another way to take
it from US businesses. And this is with streaming quotas,
streaming taxes, and this is billions.

Speaker 11 (01:30:17):
Of dollars a year. And these quotas are really weird.

Speaker 15 (01:30:20):
Is that the European Union is saying that you know,
if your Netflix or any other streaming service that you're
gonna have, thirty percent of the catalog that you have
has to be European produced.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Oh lord.

Speaker 15 (01:30:34):
And then of course they impost taxes on these streaming services.
And again we've seen this from the European Union in
so many way, the digital service tax. This is a entity,
the European Union that just overregulates and over taxes and
they see.

Speaker 11 (01:30:48):
What they do is they see the rich neighbor and
they go, I want some of their money, yep. And
so they pass these rules of regulations and these taxes
trying to fleece our businesses.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Well, I guess the larger question remains is can these
large corporations still make money? Can they still be profitable?
I mean, obviously the profits will be less having to
comply with all this, and all of the bloody work
that would have to be done to comply with something
like three percent of the content needs to be EU created.
I suppose AI in and of itself can come up
with the content list. But still obviously this comes at
a great expense of the large companies. But will they

(01:31:20):
remain there in spite of this cash grab that they're
engaging in.

Speaker 11 (01:31:25):
And barren lies there.

Speaker 15 (01:31:26):
Rub is that they will pull out of these markets
and that's not good for people in the European Union. Australia, boy,
Australia time and time again are passing these bizarre regulations.
You know, Australia used to be a place of like freedom,
no more. I mean, so many different regulations on social media.

(01:31:48):
Who can access social media?

Speaker 11 (01:31:49):
Yeah, they have a rule that you know, if you're
sixteen or under you only have free speech after sixteen
years old, which I think is a weird concept about
accessing social media. But and we've seen this of course
in this country state by state.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
Yeah. Yeah, I read an arc like again another one
I thought about you, Dave Over In the UK, there
was an article about kids getting around the social media
age verification by simply using a mask, garapen and drawing
fake mustaches and beards on themselves. I mean, duh. But
see the nefarious part about this, Maureen good Morning, is
that because of that, they're going to use the workarounds

(01:32:25):
in order to bring about the dawn of the everyone
must have an online digital ID, the numbering of the people,
kind of thing that my friends out there in the
religious community kind of argue about all the time.

Speaker 11 (01:32:36):
And now Michigan wants to ban VPNs. Obviously a VPN
is a way around they do age restrictions. Yeah, so
this is the next step.

Speaker 15 (01:32:45):
This is the absolute next step, is banning VPNs that
you can't use a VPN to access the Internet. And
you know, age verification is something that we actually are
work a lot on because a lot of First Amendment issues.
Florida tried to ban kids sixteen and under. Now, if
you're let's say you live in Georgia and you're sixteen,
you have a social media account.

Speaker 11 (01:33:06):
You drive into Florida, how does that work?

Speaker 15 (01:33:08):
Like, I mean, it doesn't make any sense, Brian, and doesn't.
And people are saying, well, we have to control big
tech big tech is bad.

Speaker 11 (01:33:16):
Listen, think what you want to think about big tech.
I don't care. So what you want to do is
create a government regime to collect your ID biometric information
to ensure that you're old enough to get onto the internet.
And it's not just for sixteen year olds. As a
almost sixty year old, I have to go through the
same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 15 (01:33:36):
To prove that I am sixty, which I really don't
want to do. I have to prove that to get
onto the internet. So it's not just the kids. Everyone
has to submit this data. And we have seen one breach.

Speaker 11 (01:33:47):
After another in the UK, in the US, everywhere. These
things are breached all the time. Huge security risk, and
for some reason, people are trusting big government to do
this and to be able to handle this. I don't
get it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
People are trusting big government for anything. I don't get it. Yeah,
it doesn't matter what the topic happens to be. I
was thinking about that when you mentioned about the regulatory
scream stream for a regulatory process and streamlining it and
making an uniform for all the United States based upon
federal legislation. You know I was thinking about it. I
wrote down our idiots in Congress don't know anything about AI.
How is it that they can legislate curbs and controls

(01:34:24):
on it? Who do they rely on? They rely on
the people who build the AI platforms. I guess lobbyists. Right.

Speaker 11 (01:34:30):
You have Senator Chuck Grassley, who's in his nineties. Is
this a person that we want to be debating AI
in the future of AI in this country? I'm sorry,
but no, these are not the people that we want
deciding these issues.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
Let's pause, bring day back for one more. I appreciate
the extra time you have. This has been a fascinating conversation.
Dave went talkstation. It is seven fifty one here fifty
five KIRCD Talk Station. The return of Corey b former
mayoral Canada for the city of Sin Santa's comments about
the primary race and the new safety program that was

(01:35:06):
rolled out. He'll be joining the program after the top
of the OIR News. The meantime, one more comments or
more comments from Dave Williams from the taxpayer of Protection lines. Dave,
you know I asked you specifically about the artificial intelligence
companies pulling out of those you know, unbelievably over regulatory
and high taxation countries. You suggested, Yeah, they may very
well do that. Obviously downside risk with that. And I
was looking at this wonderful one to two punch this morning,

(01:35:28):
and I talked about it in the US at the
beginning of the six o'clock hour report released by the
Committee to Unleashed Prosperity, and they rely on IRS numbers
showing that the states that voted for Trump, the red states,
gained about two trillion dollars from those who fled the
blue states that lost a collective equal amount, roughly two

(01:35:48):
trillion dollars. They did a breakdown in all the states
that benefited and gained from it, with a corollary article
op ed piece from Kimberly Strassel, the Red Blue economic divide.
We have the freedom of travel in this country, Day Williams.
And when you get hit over the head by oppress
of regulation and outrageous cost of living, a government that
doesn't do anything about feces in the streets and roads

(01:36:10):
and infrastructure, and you know, the whole litany of problems
in cities like Seattle, states like California, Illinois, they're underwater financially.
Look at what's happening in New York with everyone who
can get out of the dodge leaving as backed up
by this economic report, that's what people do. Do you
have a reaction to that? And I don't know if
you saw the data on that one, Dave.

Speaker 11 (01:36:30):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 15 (01:36:31):
This is about competition, tax competition, and people vote with
their feet.

Speaker 11 (01:36:37):
People are leaving California.

Speaker 15 (01:36:39):
Listen, We've heard this before, people leaving California, going to Texas,
going to Florida.

Speaker 11 (01:36:43):
It's not for the weather, it's for the tax climate.

Speaker 15 (01:36:46):
It's because and you have businesses that have relocated to
lower tax states. And that's what I love about this
country is you have that tax competition, You have that competition,
and people are smart.

Speaker 11 (01:36:58):
I mean, that's the thing is.

Speaker 15 (01:37:00):
You know, we can talk all this theoremy, when you
see it actually happen, you know that people look.

Speaker 11 (01:37:06):
At the bottom line. And this has been happening for years.

Speaker 15 (01:37:09):
And California, Maryland, these deep blue states, they just don't
get it, they don't understand. They keep on raising taxes,
people keep on leaving, and it's really a vicious cycle.
But you know, the red states are winning. They're winning
and winning economically. And the next battle that I think
is going to be property taxes. We're going to see

(01:37:31):
a lot of states dropping property taxes, lowering them, or
completely getting rid of property taxes again to get people
to come into their state. And I love that. I
love competition because at the end of the day, consumers win,
property owners win when there's more competition.

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
More competition. And you know, we've got that property tax
issue raging here in the state of Ohio. I don't
know if you're aware of, but there's a Batto petition
circulating around to get the eradication of property taxes into
the high Constitution and it's freaking out a lot of municipality,
municipalities and of course the school districts wondering what they
would do in order to get funding for you know,

(01:38:08):
fire departments, police departments, and of course school districts. If
the property tax disappears. But other states can do it,
why can't we?

Speaker 15 (01:38:16):
Deep Blue Baltimore City is considering cutting their property tax rate.
If that doesn't tell you everything about property taxes, I
don't know what does. Because this is something that I
think is going to be sweeping the country. Florida is
now discussing whether to get rid of their property taxes.
So I love it I love the fact that we're
talking about this and because it puts more money back

(01:38:38):
into people's pockets. I mean, the bottom line is people
will have more money at their disposal, and guess what
they're going to spend that money.

Speaker 11 (01:38:45):
They're going to go to the store. They're going to
buy things. This is what people do when they have
more money, They buy more stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
And going back to the figure from the Committee to
Unleashed Prosperity, Florida the largest gain of all the states
receiving the benefits of new people moving into the tune
of ready Day one point two nine three trillion dollars
in adjusted gross income tied to migration during the ten
year period study between twenty twelve and twenty twenty three.

(01:39:11):
And I'm sure it got a lot bigger twenty twenty
four and twenty five are added.

Speaker 15 (01:39:15):
Absolutely absolutely, And you know, God blessed Florida and other states.
You know, if they're smart, they're looking at what Florida
did and going hm hm.

Speaker 11 (01:39:24):
Yeah, we should do the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
Yeah. Ohio lost one hundred and six billion in spite
of the fact that it's one of the several Trump states.
Are several states that voted for Trump. HM, maybe we
need to follow a different course. Dave Williams, thanks for
what you do. I appreciate your willingness to spend time
with my listeners and me on the Morning show. Here
we'll recommend again protecting taxpayers dot Org. I look forward
to our next conversation, Dave, and a happy most day

(01:39:46):
weekend you and the crew at tax Payer Protection Lines
eight oh five.

Speaker 4 (01:39:51):
Here a fifty five KRC detalk station by Thomas swishing
every one eighth, very very happy Friday as we head
on into Mother's Day week and on a happy Mother's
Day at all the moms out there, and of course
most notably my mom and of course my wife out
my wife, our kids will not have turned out as
great as they've turned out so far, and I give
my mom all the credit in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:40:09):
Shared a little bit with my dad, of course, But
good morning, Mom, and happy Mother's Day. And welcome back
someone who understands Mother's Day and the value of a
great wife and mother. Welcome back Corey Bowm and former
Meryll Kennedy. He's a minister over on the East End.
Also has a cough coffee shop, King's Arms Coffee stop
on it and get yourself a cup of Joe. Welcome back,
My friend's great having you on, Brian.

Speaker 6 (01:40:31):
It's always good being on a happy Mother's Day to
all the mother's out there. If my mom, or if
my mother in law, or if a wife which is
standing right next to me are listening, Happy Mother's Day
to all them.

Speaker 1 (01:40:44):
Well, an intelligent, smart man, you are. You married out
of your league there, brother, just like I did. That's
the sign of a brilliant man. And sorry you weren't
mayor of the citizen. Yeah, it's the best. That's a
foundation for success in life, right there. Yeah, absolutely so,
without further ado, your reaction to the primary a result,

(01:41:05):
twenty percent turnout, I think a little under twenty in
the Greater Since or in downtown Cincinnati, I guess was
the turnout, But any particular race sticks out as a
good result or something disappointed at Corey Bauman.

Speaker 6 (01:41:18):
Yeah, well, I mean a couple of different points that
are good, which I really am looking at the bright
side of a lot of stuff, trying to find the
good and everything. What's moving forward to be one of
the biggest things. Like you said, twenty percent turnout, that's
going to be a lot more than the primaries last year.
I think last year, I don't even know if we
hit ten percent in the primaries for the city election.

(01:41:40):
So you're seeing that people are more involved in years
like this. It kind of gradually goes up, but hey,
more people involved the better. In these Republican Democratic primaries,
you know, a lot of times you don't see contested races,
but I did see a lot of contested races. I mean,
obviously you have you state, and you have your Congress,

(01:42:01):
and you have the things going on there. But primarily
what I saw was in the state in the county
central committees and a precinct executive, which if anybody doesn't
know what those are, that's your local kind of grassroots
party involvement right there. So you have precinct executives in
every precinct. I believe there's there were five hundred in

(01:42:24):
Hamilton County, and there was a lot more contested races
or new faces that were showing up to be precinct
executives where there were none previously. So that shows that
a lot more people are getting involved locally rather than
just watching the national politics.

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
I'm glad to hear that as well. And I suppose Ultimately,
because primaries are so critically important to getting the best
possible people in there, the fact that there's so much
more interest in those positions, the question is who are
the people filling it and what are their political philosophies.

Speaker 6 (01:42:57):
Yeah, so you're definitely seeing different groups of people getting involved.
You know, people have different you know, words that they use,
whether establishment or grassroots, but ultimately, it's just people that
want to make a difference. I kind of see it
as anybody that's willing to get into this realm. It's
either you're forced into it by people, which you know

(01:43:18):
doesn't really happen a lot, or you're you're just really
passionate about getting involved in local politics. You're seeing a
lot of people that are emphasizing, like I said, the
grassroots effort, you know, going out door to door getting
people involved locally. And I will say this, you saw
that a lot on the Democratic side as well, a

(01:43:39):
lot of people that were already pre sift executives. They
saw contested races from there were whole organizations on the
Democratic Party side locally here in Hamilton County that we're
trying to get more people involved and get more people
that emphasize like door knocking and grassroots efforts because they're
fed up with how the city or the is being run,

(01:44:01):
even on their side as well. So that's encouraging.

Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
Well, it wasn't encouraged to see the capitulation from the
Republicans on the ballot in Hamilton County that they didn't
even run people in various judicial races. We've got a
problem with the judiciary in Hamilton County, the woke judges
who are not hard on crime, who allow these recidivous
individuals back on the street, no bonds, and when it
comes time to sentencing after either a guilty plea or
conviction beyond a reasonable doubt, very light sentences for some

(01:44:27):
quite often heinous crimes by recidivus. That was a sorry
state of affairs from my perspective. It's just like, you know,
last person out, pull the flag, We'll bring the flag
with you, but no one willing to run for these
judicial races. Did you react in a similar way when
you saw that, Corey Bowman, Well, I.

Speaker 6 (01:44:42):
Think I'm seeing the races where I feel what is
the most important. I'm at least seeing them seeing contested
races like let's talk about the juvenile court. You know,
you have Judge Bloom right now, which is going to
be going against Susan Lucan. And that's probably the biggest
race that I'm pushing this year is Judge Lucan because

(01:45:04):
of what we're seeing. I'm sorry, I said, oh absolutely,
because the thing is is that in the city you're
seeing major problems with youth violence, kids not being held accountable.
And then even so I was even talking with the
judge Judge McDowell, Judge Chris McDowell is on the ballot
this year as well. Amazing man, amazing judge. He was

(01:45:25):
in my church last Sunday and as we were talking,
he said, one of the biggest issues is that anybody
that's in the court system and the judges, they when
kids that are like just turning eighteen enter into the
court system, if they see a harsh charge from that perspective,
they're shocked because if they got convicted or if they

(01:45:46):
got arrested when they were younger, the juvenile system really
doesn't hold them accountable. So we've got to start from
the young up. When that starts with the Lucan race,
with the JUVENI I would encourage everybody get involved with that.
I still feel that the judicial races are the most
important in Hamilton County.

Speaker 1 (01:46:07):
This year, well, don't worry about it, because there's not
going to be juvenile crime this year. They've expanded the
They have the Summer in City program that they just
unveiled in the city of Cincinnata to help deal with
youth violence, which includes an expanded rec night program. So
from between five and ten pm, there's all kinds of
opportunities for people to engage in sports and swim. And

(01:46:28):
I just wonder Corey Bowman, if these rec night programs
will well stop the gang members from engaging in their
nefarious activities, because I've learned that that seems to be
a big part of the problem that they're not talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:46:41):
No, you're right, And what happened was what I'm encouraged
by this year is that if they were just talking
about the rec programs, if they were just talking about
the community initiatives, then I would be like, oh, wow,
here we go again. It's a merrygor round of crime
and just soft on all these issues. Actually, what happened
last year the Act for SINCI program, three point two

(01:47:04):
million dollars went into it and the primary focus of
it was these community initiatives like rec nights, cleaning up trash,
just doing things like that that didn't really address crime.
What I will say is that this year these programs,
even though they do involve the rect nights for the youth,
which I think are important, they are going hand in

(01:47:25):
hand with it. You watch INTERN Chief Henny. He started
mentioning that they were increasing patrols and that they were
increasing the drone program, they were intituing the curfew. So
you didn't see that last year. You only saw people
talking about that last year after July, and after all
the crime was happening and the election was looming, so

(01:47:46):
then they were forced to deal with it. But they're
getting ahead of a game, at least more than what
they did last year. And I want to commend INTERN
Chief Henny for stepping up and putting those programs out,
and actually anybody that was involved in putting the emphasis
on police rather than just community programs.

Speaker 1 (01:48:05):
Well, going back to your point about holding younger children
accountable for their crimes before they make it to big
boycourt and find out what real consequences might be, I
guess I was a little concerned about Henny's comments about
the giving tickets out or citations for violations of the curfew,
which kicks in at eleven pm. So if they're not
going to issue citations and just give them a ride home,

(01:48:27):
basically boiled down my comments with my perception of his comments,
is that going to do anything if they're not going
to hand out tickets regularly, Well, in.

Speaker 6 (01:48:37):
My mind, what it depends on is, Okay, if they
accept the ride home, that's great. What if they don't
accept the ride home. What if they resist the force
that's happening with the curfew, then what happens? Because I
think what they were addressing was the first case, the
best case scenario is, hey, they're taking kids home, they're

(01:48:58):
getting them off the streets. What you have to address
is what happens when you meet resistance, and that's going
to be the basically the deciding factor whether this curfew
actually works, because if they accept the ride home, if
they get off the streets, that's fine. But if they
don't get off the street, if they resist any direction

(01:49:18):
that's happening from the officers. What happened last year was
there was nothing done. It was really just like, hey,
we're gonna make this curfew, but there's no consequence, right,
So that's kind of what the police need to focus on,
is having actual consequences to disobeying the curfew.

Speaker 1 (01:49:35):
Well, the elephant in the room goes back to our
judicial race comments about juvenile court. If they enforce it
and they engage in you know, actively involving and uh,
you know, citing the children or forcing them to deal
with the juvenile courts, that's the only thing the police
can do. But then it's left in the hands of
a juvenile judge who slap them on the hand, let
them out the door again, the revolving draw door of justice.

(01:49:55):
So that it kind of seems to be that a
good proposal, it doesn't have the teeth on the back end.

Speaker 6 (01:50:03):
Yeah. Well, one thing that they did mention, so I'm
trying to be optimistic right here, hopefully hopefully that their
words actually carry weight and they're actually going to do
what they say this time around. Who knows, but they
did mention that the police we're going to actively pursue
relations or not relationships, but conversations with the judicial system

(01:50:26):
to make sure that these low bonds and that these
low accountability convictions actually are getting dealt with. So I'm
going to try to take them at their word and say, hey,
if they're because this is stuff we were all pushing
for last year. So if they were actually going to say, hey,
we're going to address these issues, We're going to work

(01:50:47):
with the judicial system, make sure that the low bonds
are not the deciding factor in getting the criminals off
on the streets. Again, let's hope for the best and
let's hope for a safe or safer summer.

Speaker 1 (01:50:59):
And Corey Buma was bringing back talking about this lawsuit
that was foiled by former tenants of the Preservation of
Affordable Housing program about some buildings and over the Rhine
that were found to have some really toxic chemicals in them.
Corey Bowman stick around, will be right back with him
after these brief words. The talk station. It's a twenty here,
fifty five KCD talk station Happy Friday. Coming up next segment,

(01:51:24):
Jack windsor fingers Cross primary results and sudden resignation of
Attorney General YOS High Pressnetwork dot com where you find Dave.
In the meantime, we have Corey Bowman on the program,
a former mayoral candidate, business owner and resident of the
city of Cincinnati, but he does not live in a
Preservation of Affordable Housing unit. Thankfully, the largest low income
housing providers in the city. Apparently now they're subject to

(01:51:45):
a lawsuit. They found some really hazardous material chloroform and benzene,
which some are claiming led to the sudden infant death
of two children that were living in the preservation Affordable
Housing units. Apparently WCPO and props to them. They've been
reporting on this and I got that article that you
forward along to me, and thanks for bringing that. One
of my attention rats sewage build ups, mold, no hot water,

(01:52:09):
inoperable stoves. They checked out Poe's more than nine hundred
residential units that have been finding these problems that have
been existing for a long time. This is I mean
chloroform and benzing that's just toxic. Corey Bowmen, your reaction
to this revelation, well.

Speaker 6 (01:52:26):
For us, unfortunately, it's not a new revelation. For the
last several years being a pastor in the West End,
we've done many outreaches in the area where the attendees
are tenants of OHA and Preservation of Affordable Housing. You now,
there's a couple other different organizations in the city to
operate the same way. Unfortunately, a lot of these tenants

(01:52:49):
face some very bad circumstances when it comes to their
conditions for their housing. Primarily, what we've heard is mold.
We've heard the lack of HVAC he and ac in
during the seasons, and this is something that when they

(01:53:10):
actually complain to the authority, they get told either want
to just wipe up the mold, spray paint over it,
or they get threatened to be evicted because there's such
a waiting list for housing in the city that they
don't care about taking care of their tenants. Now, keep
in mind this is organization specifically received a million dollar

(01:53:32):
grant last year from our city manager to be able
to improve the lives of tenants. And this is something
that's not only from the past, like the lawsuits coming
from twenty twenty three. These are conditions that are currently
happening right now. And I can attest to that from
specific people I've talked to on the streets that are
in the West.

Speaker 1 (01:53:53):
Yeah, and you know what I keep hearing from all
the climate change advocacy, we need to get rid of
gasoline and everything because the police it causes asthma. It's
going to cause your asthma problems. How about the black mold?
It is documentary. You can extrapolate make up whatever thing
you want about whether or not pollution in the air
generally does causes asthma. Of course it probably does, but

(01:54:13):
black mold is noted for its causing sneezing and coughing
and irritation as well as worsening asthma's symptom. So that
would be a great start. Plus it would create a
habitable living environment if you got rid of the black mold.

Speaker 6 (01:54:28):
No, it's so true. You got to understand too that
these organizations are well funded. Yeah, these aren't like just
struggling landlords. Do you know that, hud. I mean President
Trump tried to get it down to thirty two million,
and Congress are thirty two billion, and Congress still approved
it for seventy two billion dollars for last year. For

(01:54:48):
the funding. All this funding is coming through not only that,
but through the city budget as well. These are, for
lack of better words, it's slum lords. These are people
that pocket money that do not take care of the
tenants that they have with the proper funding that we
know they receive. And this is a major issue. We're
seeing this with it with organizations like CMHA, We're seeing

(01:55:12):
this with many organizations in the city. And I'm not
here to just bash and just say hey, not present
a solution. All I'm saying is you're well funded, your
tenants are struggling. You know, yes, the affordable housing situation.
We got to give people a leg up to be
able to get out of poverty. We don't want them
to just stay in this type of housing for the
rest of their life. At the same time, if they're

(01:55:35):
accepting these benefits, and if the organizations are being as
well funded as they are, I would expect ten times
better maintenance of their buildings and ten times better care of.

Speaker 1 (01:55:46):
Their tenants, no doubt about it. And miss wildly curious
what the salaries are for those that are responsible for
running the preservation of affordable housing.

Speaker 3 (01:55:55):
Just a wildly more than you and me.

Speaker 1 (01:55:57):
Yeah, if I was a betting man, Corey Boma, that's
where my money would be. Corey Bowman, I appreciate your
tireless efforts on behalf of all residents of the city
of Cincinnati and bringing this these issues to our attention
here on the fifty five krsee morning show. You're always
welcome and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
And congratulations again for well out kicking your coverage when
you got married, my friend, have a great day on Sunday.

Speaker 6 (01:56:21):
Thank you, Brian, you guys have a great day.

Speaker 1 (01:56:23):
Thank you too. We'll talk real soon. Corey Bowman stick around,
Jack wins Or, primary results, the resignation of Attorney General Yost,
among other topics coming up next from the Ohio Press Network,
Jack Wins I'll be right back. This is fifty five
KRC and iHeart rate it is a thirty here fifty

(01:56:43):
five KRCD talk station. As I adjust my zoom calls
so I can see Jack Wins are there. You are, Jack,
Good morning, Jack wins Orthehio Pressnetwork dot com. Check out
what Jack follows throughout the state of Ohio. Very well.
Good reporting there from Jack Winsor. Welcome back to my friends.
Good to hear from you. It's been a little while.

Speaker 16 (01:57:00):
Yeah, it's been a little while, man, and it's good
to be back. Thank you and Joe for being patient
with me. It's always an honor to be with you.
In the fifty five KR see Family well, we have
fun with it and primary results. Since you report on
things all over the state of Ohio, let's just focus
on the big one. Boy, he won it by a landslide.
No problem with mister Putsch vv Ramaswami seventy percent of

(01:57:21):
the vote. He will be our next governor. I'm confident
of that. Your reaction to that one are we looking
for better times here in Ohio? Noting that I read
this this morning, there was a report out about the
gains that the Red states have made two plus trillion
for all the low regulation, low tax states like Florida
and Texas, and a loss of two trillion dollars from

(01:57:43):
states like California, New York. You know the usual suspects
on that. Sadly, we were not among the winning states
had voted for Trump. Ohio lost one hundred and six
billion in people moving. So if that figure is correct,
and I have no reason to argue about it since
they got the information from the irs, does vivik Rama
Swami represent a better path? I think I know the

(01:58:05):
answer to that question, or at least I'm optimistic Jack. So,
first of all, yes, I think so, and there are
a lot of factors at play.

Speaker 1 (01:58:14):
Here though.

Speaker 16 (01:58:15):
Obviously the Cook partisan voting Index as Ohio are plus
five and that's meaningful for the VIC and Republicans, But
we have to be real smart. It is a midterm
election and the environment is difficult. So for listeners across
Ohio who are kind of fed up with the radical
lefts direction on spending, open borders, failing schools, filled with activism,

(01:58:36):
cultural overreach, you just can't sit at home. You can't
sit on your hands, right, and Vivic Ramaswami won in
all Lady eight counties, which is important. That means that
the Republicans got out. And you know, the Democrat nominee,
doctor Amy Acton, is kind of a double edged sword here, right.
She has tremendous name recognition because of her work as
the Ohio Department of Health director during COVID, and because

(01:58:58):
she was the Ohio Department of Health director during COVID,
that may slice negatively for her too, So of course
they're gonna have to be very careful with how they
market and brand her. But right now, I think, all
things being equal, the VAKE represents a clear and distinguished path, right,
and that's what voters are going to have to decide
on even the case he puts supporters, once they're done

(01:59:21):
crying over the spilled milk, they're gonna have to go. Okay,
do I want to full on, heavy handed, top down
socialist or do I want the vake Ramaswami.

Speaker 9 (01:59:30):
And at the end of the day, that's really what
it's about.

Speaker 1 (01:59:33):
Well, you know that it goes exactly to the point
I've been making about this concern over all. You know,
the Democrats, you know, in win in Congress, and because
of the current situation with the war in Iran, and
the gas price is going through the roof, and I
just it strikes me as so counterintuitive. Okay, I'm not
happy about paying five or six as the case may
be with premium gasoline. I'm willing to live through this

(01:59:54):
what will be some sort of finite moment in time
the gas prices will ultimately come down. But that wouldn't
cause me the high gas prices to want to vote
against my best interest on literally everything else that the
Democrats stand for. So I won't be a Democrat vote
if I'm angry. But it's the problem is it may
cause me to just simply not go vote. And I

(02:00:15):
think that's the biggest challenge for Republicans. They got to
put it behind him and get out and overwhelm the
Democrats who will certainly be fired up over that and
drive into the polls over that and that couple with
Trump arrangement syndrome, They've got a lot going for him
just by really campaigning on nothing.

Speaker 9 (02:00:32):
You know, that's exactly right.

Speaker 16 (02:00:33):
And I think Democrats are saying, hey, just don't vote
for that team. Yeah, And what it's going to come
down to is once people go, Okay, you don't want
me to vote for that team, but let's look at
this team. I'm going to go back to what John
Fetterman said a couple of weeks ago. Who's the leader
of the Democratic Party? Trump arrangement syndrome? And so is
that enough to get them over the finish line? Now,
real clear polling has Ramaswami plus one right now on average.

(02:00:56):
Now we expect more polls to come out very soon
because there's fresh data from the midterms. But look at
the Calshi market. It has acting up I think fifty
five to forty six. So all indicators are that this
will be a tight contest. It's going to come down
to the economy, gas and grocery prices and then turn
out dynamics, and then what are the head wins nationally?
Right now, Trump is underwater and he's carried Ohio most

(02:01:19):
recently by eleven plus points. When you add in the
R plus five, that seems favorable. But if groceries are high,
if gas is high, if people are disgruntled with Iran,
then I think it makes it, you know, a more
competitive race. But really it comes down to again, candidate contrast,
who is Amy Actin, who is Vivik Ramaswami. And Ramaswami

(02:01:40):
is somebody who's made some bold promises about the future
of state government, about spending and about innovation. And if
voters by that, I think he wins by five. I'm
going to give you that prediction out of the gate.
If not, it could be we could be looking at
Governor Amy Acton.

Speaker 1 (02:01:55):
Amy Lockdown Acted. What is she advocating for? What's her
party platform other than you know, she's not veague Ramaswamy
man of well, yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:02:04):
So here's the interesting part, right, and we'll have this
quick discussion. She's campaigning on affordability and anyone who peels
the curtain back and looks you go, well, wait a minute.
Democrats systemically have created this affordability crisis, So how are
you going to solve that problem? And oh, by the way,
you made sixty two cents in interest income last year,
So maybe the issue with affordability for you, Amy Acton

(02:02:27):
isn't affordability. Maybe it's that you don't make enough money, right,
And vivig Ramaswami's out here creating multimillion and billion dollar
businesses and I think that is a very cheeky way
to say it, but it is a very stark contrast.

Speaker 9 (02:02:40):
But affordability is one issue, and so.

Speaker 16 (02:02:42):
You go, Okay, it sounds good, but do you have
the competence to change that?

Speaker 9 (02:02:46):
I think people will question that.

Speaker 16 (02:02:47):
And then the other way that she's positioning herself, Brian
is a doctor and not a politician, And you go, well,
a good, Okay, that sounds good on paper, but why
are you walking arm in arm with Mark Elias and
the Elias Slow Group out of Washington.

Speaker 9 (02:02:59):
DC.

Speaker 16 (02:03:00):
Jis Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen campaign attorney. So you talk
about not being an insider, yet you've selected as your
law firm the most inside DC Democrat law firm there is.
So there's not alignment there between what she's saying and
what she's actually doing.

Speaker 1 (02:03:15):
All Right, we'll pause. We'll bring Jack Windsor from the
isislepet Pressnetwork dot Com back. We'll talk about Attorney General
Yos dropping his current position and moving on to an
outside law firm to do some political advocacy. His reaction
to that coming.

Speaker 7 (02:03:27):
Up the talk station.

Speaker 1 (02:03:32):
It is eight fifty one. If if you have kcdtalk
station Ron Thomas with Jackwindsor from Theisle Pressnetwork dot com,
check out what's going on his website every single day
and tune in on a Fridays when he joins us
to talk about these issues. Pivoting over, We've got David
Yose stepping down from his position and joining a new organization,
or actually not a new organization. It's the Alliance Defending Freedom.

(02:03:55):
It's a just conservative organization, kind of a nonprofit law
firm that helps it helps out navocates for conservative principles.
Is there anything we need to read? I mean, I
guess I don't have a problem with him going on
to probably a more lucrative career position. He's going to
be doing some legal work for that group. It's in
line with his political philosophy, the work they do, so
I guess it makes sense along those lines. But is

(02:04:15):
there something we need to read into this regarding the timing?
What do you think there, Jack winsor there are.

Speaker 16 (02:04:22):
No coincidences in politics, sir, And that's number one. But
I'm going to go back to two things can be true. Right, So,
after more than two decades serving Ohio tax payers in
elected office, Dave Yoste, I think, is making a move that.

Speaker 9 (02:04:35):
Makes perfect sense on a personal level.

Speaker 16 (02:04:37):
So he's going to step into that senior role at
an organization that's been extraordinarily effective at winning major constitutional
battles in the nation's highest court, and that kind of
experience for him, going into that kind of experience and
the kind of experience that they're getting with Dave Yoste,
I think is a really good fit. And he's just
going to make more money good for Dave Yoste at

(02:04:58):
the same time, and this is where po gets interesting.
The timing creates a clean succession path, right, So Governor
Dwine now is forced to appoint someone to fill that
AG's position. And here's the interesting twist. He can now
appoint the very candidates Republicans just nominated on Tuesday into

(02:05:18):
the open state wide offices. Faber could move from auditor
to a g Larrose, from Secretary of State to auditor,
Sprague from treasurer to Secretary of State, and then Edward's
into that treasurer's office. I think most politicos say, well, yes,
this helps Yost, But Yost, in a final salute, is
helping the Republican Party by opening that seat and allowing

(02:05:39):
that cascade of appointees.

Speaker 1 (02:05:41):
I must observe Jack Windsor you just rattled off a
very very familiar group of names. I know it's something
that that in and of itself will rub some of
my listening audience the wrong way.

Speaker 16 (02:05:50):
Your take on that, I listen, I agree, right, and
I think some people go, oh my gosh, it's it's
musical chairs, right, But here's what it comes down to.
At the end of the day, you have some choices
to make, and for ag do you want Keith Faber
or John Coolewicks? Do you want Robert Sprague or Alison

(02:06:13):
Russo as Secretary of State? And so I think Republicans
are doing things strategically that Democrats would do without a blink, right,
They're doing the thing that will give them a slight edge, because,
let's face it, when somebody is an incumbent and they
can run for a position from an incumbency, I think
that gives them a slight edge. Might not be big,
but it's a little bit of something. And I think

(02:06:33):
Republicans are trying to take every advantage here they can get.
I know that that rubs some really strict constitutionalists and
people who are just you know, very conservative at the core.
I know that rubs them the wrong way. And you know,
sometimes you gotta what did they say in that movie
what Tom Cruise say, Rubbing is racing.

Speaker 9 (02:06:50):
Sometimes you gotta rub man.

Speaker 1 (02:06:52):
I understand that. I get all the political points and
the realities and the strategy behind it, but you know what,
there's got to be some backbenchers, some names back there
that may a little familiar, but be good next generation
people who will then take over the role of getting elected, elected, elected,
elected over and over again and play musical chairs. Somebody's
got to take over take the mantle from the current
cast of characters we just left putting by appointment. You

(02:07:15):
give that person with less name recognition, of course, an
opportunity to build their name recognition. And to demonstrate that
they're the competent right person for the job, satisfying everyone.

Speaker 16 (02:07:24):
Perhaps, you know what, I can't argue with that strategy,
because the other candidates that we just mentioned, if there
is not this cascade of appointments, they've built their brand right,
they have name recognition, they've won a state wide office.
And so what you're saying is let them win that
office on their merits, let's bring in the new blood,
let's let the young team kind of come in and

(02:07:45):
establish themselves. And I think when you're looking long term,
that probably makes the best sense. But you and I
both know politics is what have you done for me
lately and what do we need to do in the
next six months? And I think that's probably what we're
going to see.

Speaker 1 (02:07:58):
Fair enough, let's tell you over a little bit longer
this segment, and we'll let you go. Jack Windsor, I
had a question for you on the reaction about Governor
Mike Brown in Indiana rolling back the gas and sales
tax that results in a fifty nine point three cent
drop in price for over and for folks over in Indiana.
Governor Bisher also froze states gas tax and it's going

(02:08:18):
to result in a I don't know, twenty six twenty
seven percent reduction, And both of them pointed out, well,
we both have a lot of revenue coming in, and
we have a lot of money in our general fund,
you know, the rainy day funds, billions and billions of dollars,
and we have that here in Ohio. And yet Governor
de Wine said, no, I'm not going to do it.
I care too much about the roads. Do you think

(02:08:40):
that's a good strategy to roll back the tax just
on its face? And what do you say about Governor
de Wine is saying absolutely no to it.

Speaker 16 (02:08:48):
I say about Governor Dewines saying absolutely no to it.
That does not surprise me. He is a Democrat in
Republican clothing. He loves to speak government programs, he loves
to go hand out checks. He likes to be the
benevolent grandpa who thinks he's fixing everything. So that's no
surprise to me. I think it comes down to is
it a good decision. Well, Ohio is such a complex state,
you know this, So I'm not going to get too
much in the weeds on this. Because of the way

(02:09:09):
that taxing authorities exist, you know, the gas tax is
collected and then it's distributed, and you know it does
help with roads and so on and so forth. I'm
just not convinced that a three month pause is going
to throw a massive monkey wrench into that. And I
look at it and say, why wouldn't you, even if
for window dressing, right, why wouldn't you for the next

(02:09:31):
three months suspend this thing. Appease members of your party
who are trying to help voters who are screaming do something.
But that's not Mike Dwine. Mike Dwine is always the
smartest guy in the room, and he's going to go
his way, and if you don't like it, he'll yell
at you behind closed doors.

Speaker 1 (02:09:46):
I had someone asked me the other day on the issue
of taxes, pivoting over briefly here to property taxes, Jack
Wins with the ballot petition circulating to amend the Constitution
of the State of Ohio to eliminate property tax you know,
are you in favor against Brian and said half of me,
I'm in favor of it just because of the train
wreck that will follow up and the how much it

(02:10:07):
is going to force our elected officials to actually do
something in the aftermath of being taken having the property
tax taken away from them.

Speaker 3 (02:10:14):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:10:14):
The correlator that is, I know all those problems and
they are going to be concerning and difficult to overcome.
But I don't have a problem paying my tax bills,
so I can afford to sort of play. You know,
maybe the impish guy who wants to see a train
wreck just to see what happens. Jack, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
You know what?

Speaker 16 (02:10:31):
The first thought that comes to my mind is necessity
is the mother of invention. When you move the cheese
and they no longer have cheese, they're going to find
their cheese. That's just that's the bottom line. Now, everybody
loves change. They hate transition. The transition's going to suck.
Maybe there are over four thousand taxing authorities, so they're
going to have to figure out how to find their cheese.
But at the end of the day, I'm going to

(02:10:51):
go back to this. Do you remember what happened during COVID, Yes,
Governor and Amy Acton looked at you and said, tough,
tough titty. You don't like it, we're going to close
your business. Figure it out. Well, Governor, I want unemployment.
But the system's broken. It's been six months since I've
been paid.

Speaker 1 (02:11:07):
Tough.

Speaker 9 (02:11:08):
Okay, well it's turnabout's fair play, right.

Speaker 16 (02:11:11):
I don't have a hard time looking at folks and going, oh,
you don't have the money.

Speaker 1 (02:11:14):
Tough, figure it out.

Speaker 9 (02:11:15):
That's why you were elected.

Speaker 16 (02:11:16):
I know that's a little bit probably cheeky, but again,
at the end of the day, it's not their money,
it's our money. It's not their power, it's our power.
And at some point we have to stand up and go, Okay,
enough is enough.

Speaker 9 (02:11:28):
And if you.

Speaker 16 (02:11:29):
Can't figure it out out, let's get somebody in that
office who can figure it out, because that's why you're elected.

Speaker 1 (02:11:34):
Jack. Wins are always a fun conversation with you, and
of course they're reporting over at the iile Pressnetwork. Dot
COM's excellent. I check on it all the time and
appreciate what you're doing there. We'll talk again real soon, Jack,
and have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and a wonderful
week generally speaking. My friend, YouTube brother, God bless you,
Thank you so much, and you sir, eight forty nine
Right now fifty five krc DE Talk station

Speaker 9 (02:11:53):
A little bit left, stick around fifty five
