55KRC Wednesday Morning Show with Brian Thomas 9/24/2025

Dave Hatter, Cory Bowman and THE Judge.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Five o five at thirty five k r C the
talk station. Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Some say.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Sae will.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
A vacation from.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
This bull what Danny cut the word off in half.
He has to do that. Hi, Happy Wednesday, Brian Thomas,
right here, Danny Gleas, I'm coming for the vacationing Jus
Tracker pool side. He actually sent a picture of him
a pool side the other day. Didn't see him saw
the pool though, does of course? I hope relaxing in Florida.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
And what's coming up today? And just let I wanted
to interject one week from today, Jim and Jackson. The
river is the place to be for a fifty five
kr SE listener lunch, last one before the election. I
do fully expect to see Christopher Smithaman there, maybe even
Corey Bowman. We can ask Corey directly that today because
he's going to be on the fifty five car see
morning show at seven oh five late edition. Yesterday I

(01:16):
found out from a little bird Corey Bowman's been getting
death threats. I'm serious, and not just one or two
death threats. It's a reflection of the deteriorating state of
politics in this country. Thought it was an appropriate subject

(01:38):
matter to go over. Obviously under the heated political circumstance
we have and a lot of violence, notably violence coming
from the left. Oh, it's always right wing violence, isn't
it anyhow? Dave Hatter six point thirty with Dave had Ter. No,
it's not Friday for regular listeners. We hear from Dave
Hatter do that Tech Friday thing every Friday at six thirty. Today,
we're gonna be talking about an Empower Youse seminar that
is taking place tomorrow night. Dad are one of the

(02:00):
most popular folks to speak at the Empower Youth seminars.
It's always a huge turnout with Dave. He's gonna be
talking about privacy and security threats, the latest and greatest
with Dave Hatter. So learn about privacy and security threats.
Listen to his advice. Heed it. It's always excellent and
it may be a little challenging for you to give

(02:21):
up on your apps or you know, not take advantage
of this modern technology that we're surrounded by. My default
position is sort of you know, old school, like Brian,
you're an old man, you don't deal with tech.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I try to avoid tech for all the reasons. Dave
brings it up. My life has gone just swimmingly without
some of these apps that exist. Might those apps streamline
the tasks that I have to perform in my life? Yeah?
Probably would? Are the tasks that I have to perform
that might be streamlined by the apps? Really that difficult

(02:54):
to accomplish and deal with in the absence of an app. No,
if there was a simple solution at that to a
legitimate problem that I have, maybe I would. I don't
know partake in the Internet of Things world that we
live in, but Dave Hadters convinced me enough that it's
just not worth it anyway. We'll hear from Dave six
thirty that again, followed by Corey Bowman, then Mary Beth Serrucci.

(03:16):
She has taken the place at Donovan and eil Dae
for the Today at seven thirty for the Americans for prosperity,
segment and perfect timing. She's leading the road to prosperity.
So we're going to learn about that. But it's all
about energy policy. We need more energy, and in order
to do that, we need to advance transformational permitting reform
to lower energy costs, create jobs and strength in American communities.

(03:39):
What is the problem out there, Well, we don't have
enough energy, more and more data centers alone, coun online
which are soaking up and using up all, if not
more than we have out there in the world. Rolling
brownouts and blackouts happening. You know, it's just it's crazy.
And you know, like the European Union, a lot of
us brought a lot of this was brought about by

(03:59):
our own throat cutting in the name of reducing carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere, which is just batcrap insane. Listen
to Donald Trump at the UN yesterday mentioning that climate
change policies are destroying the West, No kidding, climate policies
that are designed to destroyed, to destroy the rest. Let's say,
who's the outlier in terms of production and consumption in

(04:21):
the globe? Who makes the most money? Which countries are
most profitable? Right, go ahead and look at the Western nations,
those that lean closer to capitalism than Marxism. That's where
your money is being made, That's where things are being consumed.
What do we do about that? How can we come
up with a philosophy that will undermine Western nations and

(04:43):
engage in a form of global wealth redistribution. Those evil,
outlying wealthy nations are depriving the poor nations of their
opportunities in the world. Really, maybe it's the governmental structure
of those poor nations which have brought about despair for
the people. There's always that, isn't there anyway? But as

(05:04):
far as energy policy is concerned, I'm well, Judge Enneda Polton.
Of course at a eight thirty we're talking with him
about free speech. Perfect timing on that, considering. We'll talk
about this in the six o'clock hour. Google admitted to
censoring you. Oh, they're offering an opportunity for those folks
who were banned on Google and YouTube to come back
because you were banned for making an out loud statement
about COVID nineteen which turned out to be true. I

(05:27):
kid you not. It's just an amazing thing, something that
we've been talking about since it was actually going on,
the censorship of your voice on things like masking. Senator
Ran Paul Yes, he too was censored and banned from
the platform because he's told the world the truth masks
don't work. Oh my god, what a heretic. At the time,
no one dares speak of something like that it's against

(05:50):
the the scientific community narrative. You wear a mask. People
are still wearing him today. Yes, the paper mask that
you see people wearing in Kruger. And I know you
chuckle on your breath when you see someone walking by
that's still wearing a mask. Apparently they didn't get the
memo anyway. I know you've seen your Duke energy bill.

(06:11):
Speaking of energy policy, we have a supply and demand problem.
The demand is outstripping supply. That's why your rates have
gone through the roof. And boy, oh lord almighty, haven't they.
Alexander Coolidge over at the choir reporting on this just
the other day. Duke energy customers in Ohio gas and
electric bills up seventy seven percent over the past five years,

(06:32):
and they're going higher. By the way, they say. A
typical Duke consumer in southwest Ohio paid more than three
hundred and ten dollars in August, an increase of one
hundred and thirty five bucks from the same month in
twenty twenty one year twenty one percent jumping electric bills

(06:53):
plus an eight percent increase in natural gas bills. Hold
your breath because those are going to go up even more.
Some people are seeing bills one month bills increase one
hundred dollars or more extra extra According to the regulators
and utilities, The combined factors hitting consumers all at once
record heat, new aggregation contracts, soaring demand from energy guzzling

(07:19):
data centers, and well corrections for past billionaires because they
had a computer glitch which miscalculated some like fifteen thousand
Duke bills, so you got tagged with an extra increase. Whoops, Sorry,
sucks to be you. Energy prices up here in southwest
to Ohio more than nationally. Total energy costs risen forty

(07:42):
one percent since COVID thirty thirty eight percent increase in
electric costs fifty three percent for gas O Higo one
still paying less, though, it's okay, Duke, said hol hold On,
hold on, I know it's up a lot, but we're
still paying less than the national average twelve point six
cents per kilo loot hour versus the national average of

(08:02):
thirteen point nine. So rest easy. Yes, your builds up
a couple one hundred dollars, but it's still a less Yeah,
of course it'd be less than a state like California.
Soaring demand for power is outpacing utilities ability to build
a new generation capacity. How about that something we all
aware of. This is why I'm in favor of small

(08:24):
modular reactors, because they produce an abundance of electricity on
a tiny footprint. And yes, the technology is now very safe.
Cribbage Mike, my submarine or friend will tell you until
he's blue in the face. We've been using nuclear energy
to power submarines and ships of war since the nineteen
fifties with not a single incident. Why can't we have

(08:44):
one of those in our own backyard solving the problem
and dealing with the global warming alarmist problems with carbon dioxide.
If it were really a problem, you wouldn't have it
with a nuclear reactor. So why don't we get some
regulatory burdens. They point out these data centers, and you know,

(09:04):
Ohio is the number five state with the most data centers.
That was an interesting fact reported by the inquiry. We're
behind Virginia, Texas, California, Illinois, they coming in at number five,
and this is where a lot of money is made.
But it's where, of course a ton of energy is used.
They typically use they say ten to fifty times as
much electricity per square foot as other commercial customers. Huge

(09:27):
draw now that we got a warning ahead of time.
Was back in May, we were all warned that our
bills were going to jump the default rate that is
a charge resulting of resulting in competitive spring auctions held
by Duke for energy supply suppliers to provide its customers

(09:51):
with electricity. By law, Duke Energy has to pass along
these costs but does not earn any profit on these charges,
so you negotiate the raid. It's gone up dramatically because
demand is higher than supply, simple laws of economic supply
to energy as well as any other commodity. They say,

(10:12):
as of this summer, Duke Energy customer is paying among
the highest standard rates in the state of Ohio ten
point four to five cents versus nine point nine to
seven cents. Not a huge distinction, but it's still more.
But Duke is stressing that we're not cashing in on this.
We're not permitted to generate or at any extra charges
for to electricity for Ohio consumers, and they own most

(10:33):
of the local grid, but they can pass through the
maintenance and upkeep fees for maintaining the grid, poles, wires,
pipes and services like handling building responding to outages and
emergencies you are paying for that. Aggregation is causing prices
to go higher, though, which is supposed. Aggregation is supposed
to keep your rates lower. But when the supply is limited,

(10:56):
even an aggregated rate which might be lower than the
normally charged rate, it's still a lot higher than it
was before see your bill. So under Ohioalal Municipality, shop
for lower price electricity and natural gas through aggregation. Problem is,
once the prior contract ends. See your contracts in place.

(11:18):
Behind the scenes, they're negotiating for the future contract, anticipating
the end of the current one. They negotiate the best
rate they can under aggregation. But when you see the
new rate come out, it's higher than the one you
were paying. Again, economics laws applying, So in spite of
the fact it could be even higher, it's still a
lot higher than you were paying. Get a load of this.

(11:40):
I could not believe these increases. Rate pairs in southwest
Ohio seeing large double digit increases, and this is when
the new aggregation rates come out. Anderson Township up thirty
eight percent, Coringe Township thirty six, del High my hometown
forty three percent increase, Green Township thirty six percent, Liberty

(12:00):
thirty eight percent increase, Miami Township up forty five in,
Union Township forty one. Who oh, and then again going
back to the natural gas. The aggregation contracts expired this fall.
Cincinnati negotiated an eight point eight percent increase, which is
what the best which is I guess the best deal

(12:21):
that they could negotiate. Nearby communities that locked in new
rates for the next year are seeing double digit increases,
So I guess Cincinnati at eight point eight percent, that's
a gift. Dell Hi Township rate for it up twenty
nine percent, Liberty up thirty percent, Union Township up twenty

(12:41):
nine percent. It's all going to get worse before it
gets better. So why don't we put away the green foolishness.
Let's stop building wind the mills and solar panel farms.
Something that produces an abundance of electricity on demand. Anytime
twenty four seven rainshine, no win, win, doesn't matter. It's

(13:04):
the solution to the obvious problem we are all dealing with.
Five eighteen fifty five K see the talk station. Feel
free to call chime in five one, three, seven, four
nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two to three
talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Be
right back five twenty one on a Wednesday, and a
happy one. T looking forward to talking to Jay Who's
on the phones five one three, seven, four nine to
fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk. If

(13:24):
you'd like to chime in, I just ask an out
loud question. Hey, Hey, Danny Glason, I heard Jimmy Kimmel
came back on television last night. I thought I thought
the FCC and Donald Trump had him fired. Huh, I
guess that didn't work. Maybe because Donald Trump and the
FCC didn't fire him. Is that possible? You think they

(13:46):
because they don't have the ability to fire a single guy.
The maybe ABC, in its own infinite wisdom, was making
a business decision and removing Jimmy Kimmel with a pretext
excuse because he made an insult that many people found offensive. Yeah,
there's our out. Let's fire him on. Oh my God, backlash.
Let's hire him back again and put him back on.
Whatever happened to all the left wingers out there saying
that Donald Trump had him fired? Anyway to see what

(14:08):
Jay's got. Jay, thanks for indulging me on that. Welcome
to the Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey, two quick points. The first
one is, you know, I call in and and I'm
critical of the Republican Party, and it's because we should
get more, we deserve more. And last I checked, the
Republicans were in charge of all three branches of government,
including the Department of Energy. So what else can voters

(14:34):
do other than give them all the power to streamline
nuclear energy to maybe even I don't know, get rid
of the Department of Energy, which wasn't a great idea
under Jimmy Carter.

Speaker 7 (14:46):
And yet here we sit.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
Watching the power rates go up, the supply demand in
balance become massive, and there doesn't seem to be any
real sense of urgency or solutions coming out of this
maga Republican movement that we put them in powered. We
don't get it. Now, when will we?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well, I honestly do not know what's going on behind
the scenes. Now. What we do know is that a
part of energy, I think one of the components of it.
And this is why I'm going to defend its existence.
National security. We need a reliable, stable, national grid. This
is an interstate commerce reality. The grid flows from multiple
states where power sources are feeding power to areas where
don't produce power, et cetera, et cetera. So there has

(15:29):
to be some coordinated effort behind the scenes under like
the Biden administration, the Obama administration. I suspect, although I
do not know specifically, but it makes logical sense. The
Department of Energy went all green, woke, nonsensical in its
energy you know, regulatory mindset. So that is bad for
us because you go green and you're gonna die. There's

(15:50):
not gonna be enough electricity produced. We're gonna face the
problems that we're facing right now. So you know, a
coordinated effort to do in all of the above strategy
and go nuclear is what we need. That may be
what they're in the process of moving toward. I can
only imagine under this administration, giving Trump's out loud statements
about it, that's where we're going. Although this process, like
all things in government, can be very slow. So got

(16:14):
an opportunity here, and you heard Donald Trump at the
at the UN yesterday described you know about about just
being this this this crazy reality going on in the world.
Climate change policies are destroying the West, and he pointed
that out. That suggests to me that we're not going
down that road. He got rid of carbon dioxide as
an alleged pollutant. That frees us up from having to

(16:35):
do carbon capture baby steps along the way. Let's just
pray to God that we ultimately, you know, nuke the
impediments to nuclear power.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
And and I guess my concern is we don't have
time for baby steps. And if we take a look
at the history of the DOE, I can't give them
a passing grade. I would give them an.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
S okay, And I don't I don't have any fault
with your analysis of that. I don't want a Department
of Energy that's forcing us to cut our throats like
the European Union has done to itself. So yes, absolutely,
But could it be if you change the mindset? Yeah, huh, exactly.

Speaker 8 (17:15):
No.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
I think the remedy is anytime the government wants to
get into control of something, it ends up in the
same same way, just like our energy policy and right
now our supply demand and balance. It makes sense on
its surface of somebody ought to regulate all this, But
after nineteen seventy seven. They've had ample time to show
whether they can or cannot do it. And it doesn't

(17:36):
matter if we have Republicans or Democrats in power. They're
still failing. So if you're administration can't get moving and
we don't have time for baby steps, we're going to work.
At some point the Democrats are going to come back
into power, and all the foolishness is going to come back,
and we're going to leave all the furniture in place
and keep that Department of Energy, Department of Education, keep

(17:57):
all the trappings of Herbert Hoover and what Joe Wilson Roosevelt.
Keep it all in place, and whenever the Democrats move
back in, it's all there.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Well, I agree with you with insofar as eradicated to the
Department of Education. There's nothing by way of national security,
except in so far as our national security goes in
terms of business success. But there's no interstate commerce with education.
It's typically local. There's nothing in the Constitution about education,
but there is national security issue and so far as
energy production is concerned. So your criticisms are valid. With

(18:28):
the DOE. Remember when it was created nineteen seventy seven,
what had happened in the mid seventies that made us
all fear nuclear power as a legitimate source of power.
Right three Mile Island. Oh my god, we're all going
to die. We can't do that. No nukes, no nukes,
We're all going to die. So, yeah, you're going to
end up adopting that political mindset that dominated the narrative
on nuclear power in the aftermath of Three Mile Island.

(18:49):
So you got good. I'm not disagreeing with you conceptually, Jay,
It's just that there seems to me a need for
national security focus and to me that suggests all of
the above, and let's get us some damn nukes online.
So we cannot only compete globally, we also have a
stable grid in times of well trial and peril. Thanks brother,
always enjoying it, Democrat. There you go. I was waiting

(19:11):
for it day. I figured it would seep into the conversation,
local news coming up, or alternatively, more phone calls. Be
right back by point thirty on a Wednesday special edition
of Tech Friday with Dave Hatter, He's going to Power
You seminar tomorrow night, one of the more popular Power
You seminars. They're going to put on Dave Hatter always
is a huge draw, so excellent advice from Dave. Coming

(19:32):
up at six thirty, a little insight and what's going
to be talking about at length? Tomorrow evening meeting at
seven pm. Show up live or log in from your
computer at home. Welcome back to the vide five care
sind Morning Show. Always good to hear from you, tom
Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
Good morning. I am not going to mention what the
gas prices are Tylersville, Andy Dane Road. I can neither
confirm nor deny that they are considerably lower than the
Cincinnati proper area. So check it out for yourself, but
I don't want to be blamed if they go up.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
Okay, there you go.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
What's the zip code up there?

Speaker 7 (20:10):
I don't even know. I just know it's Cincinnati Date
Road Tylesville to get the Beckett Ridge would be kind
of close to it. So uh yeah, anyway, west Chester. Yeah,
you want to look it up on gas Buddy. So
driving tip. Let's say you're in a lane and you
have an open lane to your left and you're thinking
about jumping out there and passing the person in front

(20:33):
of you.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Oh on that topic again, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
Check your mirror it's just the thrown it out there.
Look at your mirror, and if you have somebody coming
up on you and gaining on you, you might not
want to jump in front of them big white, big
white energy services van. You might want to just wait
and let that person pass you and then you can go.
So just I don't know, just making a suggestion, just

(20:57):
speaking of energy. That was interesting because you're talking about
energy and stuff this morning, and that guy jumps in
front of me. And I see this lettering right for
energy services.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Like oh okay timing. Oh by the way, four five
six nine, Danny said, is a zip code? I pulled
them up on gas buddy two fifty six a gallon.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
Yeah, yeah, last before any rewards, discounts or anything like that.
So yeah, yeah, kind of nice. So I can confirm
the energy rate height in Colerain Township. Uh that you meant? Actually,
I'm thinking it probably was more than that. It reveals
like it. My wife actually brought this story up yesterday, uh,

(21:38):
because she was looking at the computer and reading some
stories about it, and and uh, I just have a
I have a question. So if I own a business
and and Duke Energy and the like or those are
private businesses.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, it's a uh, privately private public hybrid kind of thing.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
That's my understanding, because I'm just kind of curious. Let's
say I have a business and I realized that I
don't know, a month or two ago, I undercharged my customers.
Can I gots send them all a bill? Oh, you
need to make up for you. I should have had
my prices higher. What the hell is that, Brian? What

(22:15):
kind of I mean? That's gotta be like communists or
socialists or something a Democrat thought them or something. I
don't know. Jay. I feel your pain, brother, I understand
your frustration. All of those of you listening, you hear
us say don't vote Democrat. It's not because that we
think that Republicans are perfect, squeaky clean or anything. Absolutely not.

(22:37):
We got our problems with them, but you know what, Republicans,
with all their faults, are way better than these idiots
with a D next to their name. Don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Have a great day, Brian, appreciate it. And to that point,
as well as Jay's point, what can we do about it? Pressure? Pressure,
And that's the point of Mariabeth Serriuchie joining the program
at seven thirty this road to prosperity tow is a
applying pressure on our elected officials. That's what AFP does.
Provides the tools for you to reach out and touch

(23:06):
someone in a maybe a profound way. Elected officials, if
you get in touch with them, you're in the minority
of people. They don't get a whole huge volume of
feedback from the constituents. Organize feedback. Deregulate should be the message.
Get us to nuclear should be the message we're going
to hear from Marybeth at seven point thirty on what

(23:28):
we can do to advance this message. And you know,
you can sit at home and sit on your butt
and not say a word and be angry and wonder
what the hell is wrong with the damn Republicans and
why don't they make life better for us? Why don't
you let them know? Won't you tell them you're watching?
Why don't you tell them you're angry or upset? Why
don't you tell them you get a better way? I mean,
just because they're elected does not mean they have the

(23:50):
answers to the questions of the problems that we face.
Who does I joke about it all the time? We
elect people who think islands can capsize if you put
more people and buildings on them. You know how dumb
that is, You know how extraordinarily stupid that is. And
that's just one illustration of the stream of stupidity coming

(24:11):
out of elected officials mouths on a daily basis. Many
of them don't know what they're doing. Send them in
the right direction. Help out, be a part of the solution.
It's five thirty five right now, fifty five Krsity talk
station do some stack of stupid stories, but I prefer
your call, so let's see that that happens. Either way,
we can hit the ground running right up for these

(24:32):
brief words. Don't go away. Five thirty nine here fifty
five kr see the talk station. Happy Wednesday. Feel free
to call five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty eight
hundred eight two to three talk counter Fact fifty on
eight and t fond fifty five carsite dot com and
you can't listen to the Daniel Davis a deep dive
of the latest war updates every Tuesday at eight thirty

(24:54):
right Bart News inside Scoop. Yesterday a really fun conversation
with John conn the COO Minister of Culture. There at
he wrote this wonderful song number one on Billboard charge.
Very patriotic and inspiring it is. And of course he
was there at the Charlie Kirk memorial and very moved
by it, and very spiritual man John is and he
came to spirituality very late in life. So a perspective

(25:17):
of a man who lived the non spiritual life and
then soaking it all in and hearing what Charlie Kirk
was all about. Of course, spirituality at the core of
Charlie Kirk's existence and from which he sprung into matters political.
He got engaged and look what he was able to accomplish.
It's pretty amazing, very amazing. All right. Let us see here.

(25:40):
That's again fifty five Carsea dot com. Also Eric Conroy
Canada for Congress. There's someone better than Greg Landsman for
us to elect, and Eric Conroy seems to fit the
bill on that one. So if you're not familiar with
Eric and his platform, check out that podcast fifty five
Caresee dot com. Help him out at Ericconroy dot com.
There you go, Eric, let's see here. This is funny.

(26:00):
Well that's why it's in the stack. Is stupid, all right,
So you've probably heard and everybody's been widely reported in
much of the chagrin of I guess tailan ond to
the manufacturers of the seed of menafit don't take it right.
That's the word from Donald Trump. Sitting there with Secretary
of Robert HHS, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, Maha, mendm
and odds there as well, making an announcement about tilanol,

(26:21):
Trump said, I think I can say that there are
certain groups of people that don't take vaccines, that and
don't take any pills, that have no autism, that have
no autism. Does that tell you something that's currently Is
that correct statement? By the way, question mark? As he
turned to Robert F. Kennedy Junior sitting there. There are
some studies that suggest that, Kennedy said, yeah, with the
Amish people, for example. So there are some studies that

(26:44):
say no vaccines, no tailanol, no autism, that they're out there.
You can feel to refute them. That's okay, this is
what the discussion is all about. But possible cause of
studying rise of autism, pointing toward the use of talanol
during pregnancy, recommending the pregnant women limit their intake of
talanol during the because of the possible association with the

(27:06):
increase of autism. Pregnant women don't do it, and if
you have to, you just got to be one of
those insurmountable fevers. You just can't deal with it anymore.
So take it sparingly, Okay. So naturally the reaction has
resulting viral videos pregnant liberal women posting videos of themselves

(27:31):
eating tilnol tablets. Is this is supposed to make some statement.
Apparently there's one I.

Speaker 10 (27:39):
Know, Danny.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
It's like, oh god, yeah, I know. One viral video
woman shows off the talent all pill of the caption,
here's me, a pregnant woman taking talent al because I
believe in science, not someone who has no medical background.
Failing to mention that Trump didn't randomly make the announcement
on his own based on his own personal feelings on

(28:01):
the matter, but he relied on the well some of
the scientific research and the recommendations from the Department of
Health and Human Services. Hm Is he arguing about a
scientific consensus. Is he arguing about a portion of the
scientist who've determined that there is some causal relationship between
townhall use and pregnancy and autism. Maybe there are studies

(28:24):
out there that suggest something to the contrary. Gee, sounds
a lot like global warming to me. And to that point,
I just thought of this, Donald Trump, and it's I
just said it a moment ago. You elected officials don't
know everything about everything, you know. Donald Trump didn't campaign
on being a doctor, did he. No, that's guy. That's

(28:46):
why you have to rely on other people who are
supposed to be learned in their field. Which makes me
think about the scientific community and this global science. Did
we listen to al Gore? What was his degree in? Right,
not science? Not climate science? Initially planned a major in
English and then decided a major in government Harvard College.

(29:13):
Greta thunbergers, let me know where her degree is. You
listen to her? Is she a climate scientist?

Speaker 5 (29:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
She just parents what she's been told. So I'll go
ahead and take your town off and it's your right.
Unlike I've remeected during COVID nineteen, when your physician was
specifically prohibited and pharmacies were specifically prohibited from dispensing it
or even recommending it, you had no choice in the matter,
even though some suggested it might help. Might is enough

(29:44):
for a lot of people? Hmmm, it might help, So
you make a choice on whether or not you want
to take it, unless the government says you can't take it.
Here's a bit of advice offered by the Trump Healthing
Humans Services Department. It may cause a risk factor that

(30:04):
into your decision making. And decide for yourself whether you
want to take a time all because you're feeling poorly
while you're pregnant. Five forty five fifty five KFC six
fifty fifty five kr CIT Talk station. Just concluding a
thought it was talking about al Gore has no science background.
Greta Thunberg. She's a real rocket scientist. No, not twenty

(30:26):
two years old. Greta Thunberg only recently graduated from high school.
She she took a year off from school to dedicate
herself to activism. So Greta Thunberg high school degree. That's it,
and you're listening to her. Okay, curbbage, Mike, my submarine
r friend. Welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
It's always good to hear from you.

Speaker 8 (30:46):
Good morning, Brian Thomas. And with Greta Thunberg, as we
talked yesterday about women on submarines, maybe we would take
her aboard for maybe I don't know ninety days, and
so she can see the effects of what nuclear power
come from and make our own air, We make our
own water, and they won't have to pull up to
an oiler to get refueled while underway.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
That's amazing. Hey, in storms of making your own water,
do they have desalnization equipment on submarines?

Speaker 8 (31:13):
Absolutely, and the same thing even working even longer, even
back in the diesel both days.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
That's amazing to me, it really is.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
And that's where the oxygen comes from too. We bring
in the seawater we're separated, hydrogen goes overboard oxygen, it's
stored in banks, and then we bleed it out as
necessary to keep our environment perfect.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
That is so cool. I watched a World War two
a movie about the submarines the other day, and they
had to surface to recirculate the air, the old ones,
the diesel powered subs, right, And.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
We still do that to a point, you know, while
we're up like either getting the radio broadcast or getting
rid of our trash. Yeah, well we'll stick up one
of our snorkel masks and bring the outside air into
and not near as good as what we can provide though.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
I understand that maybe just that in the Caribbean breath
of fresh air inside the otherwise interesting smelling submarine quarters.

Speaker 8 (32:08):
It made the news quite a bit yesterday when the
escalator went out at the un followed by the teleprompter
going out. But the Secret Service to a hell of
a job actually less than twenty four hours upon Trump's arrival,
which could have been something more nefarious, whether it was
perfectly time for this week's visit, or they had something

(32:28):
else down the road. But in six different locations within
thirty five miles in New York City, they found this
basically like a jamming network, over one hundred thousand SIM
cards and just racks and three hundred servers which would
have had the capability of putting out thirty million text

(32:49):
messages every minute, effectively shutting down the entire cell phone
network on the entire island of Manhattan. And it actually,
so far what they've seen has Chinese ties. I think
Dave Hatter talks about the Chinese every now.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
And then, Yes he does. Yeah, I saw the article.
Matter of fact, I got in my fingers right here
looking at it. Three hundred SIM servers, one hundred thousand
SIM cars, they said it could disable to all the
cell towersnial service, attack launches and sign and also secure
communication for criminal enterprises. And they concerned because, you know,
disrupting communications in tandem with perhaps a physical attack obviously

(33:26):
a playbook for foreign adversaries or other terror organizations seeking
disrupt and otherwise ruin our lives. So, yeah, if you
can't make a cell phone call and there's some kind
of attack going on, it makes a little difficult to
communicate instructions to the general public. Are otherwise coordinate rescue
efforts and first responder efforts.

Speaker 8 (33:43):
In our technology Obviously twenty four years ago was very
primitive to what we have today. But watching once again
the horrible documentaries last week about nine to eleven, that
was one of the things everybody mentioned at the time
is that obviously, with everybody on their cell phones, they
could get through.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, I think you learned from that type of experience.
I'm glad they found him, Yes, sir, Mike. You know,
the only thing that bothers me is they found that
bank of servers, They found that group of sim cards.
Do you think those are the only ones that are
out in the world.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
Our enemies only have to be right once you.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Got that right, Mike. Always great scene. I look forward
to next Wednesday for another game with you. Cribbage Mike
at Listener Lunch, Jim and Jackson the River, grab yourself
as Smitheman signwire there and shake hands with Christopher. I
think he'll be there and helping. Corey Bowman's going to
be there. I'll ask Corey when he's on the program
coming up at seven oh five, real quick, I can
get one of these stupid stories in twenty four year old.
Twenty four year old I'm emphasizing that point. Illegal immigrant

(34:42):
from Venezuela apparently was able to dupe in Ohio school
into believing he was a teenage student, and he was
there for over a year. Now he's facing decades in
federal prison after admitting to a crime. Anthony Emmanuel Labrador
Sierra pleaded guilty Monday and multiple charges after forging immigration
documents claiming to be a sixteen year old when enrolling

(35:03):
at Perrysburg High School in Toledo. Prosecutors also said he
said here's actually a father across the border twenty nineteen,
only allowed to stay in the United States until March
twenty twenty. HM, I guess he stayed longer than that
illegally possessed a firearm he bought using the fake documents
that got him into school peril scheme. The end No.

(35:24):
Number twenty three accused of frauds Er contacted the school
claiming he had been trafficked from his home country, claiming
he was born in December of seven, told school officials
his name was Anthony Labrador, spent fourteen months going to class,
reportedly participating in sports programs with children a decade younger
than him. Lived with a local family who reportedly believed

(35:45):
they were helping a homeless teenager after guardianship granted by
the Wood County Juvenile Court. Family eventually got suspicious about
his real age contacted the school, saying they'd received information
he was a grown man with children. Those guardians later
found a prepaid cell phone, fake Michigan ID with a
nineteen ninety nine birth date, a gun with three loaded
nine millimeters magazines under his mattress, slap with an ice

(36:09):
detainer after his arrest. Prosecutor said he uses fake birthday
to apply for and receive a slew of documents, including
on how a driver's license, social Security number, and federal
temporary protected status from the US Immigration Authorities, illegal from
Venezuela again ice detainer on him after the arrest. Pleaded
guilty to the firearm possession, making false statements during the

(36:32):
purchase of a firearm, and two counts of making or
using false writings or documents. Now facing up to thirty
years in prison of convicted in all charges and going
back to the point I made to Mike, that's one.
They found one. I think that's the only one out there.
Fivefty six fifty five K City Talk Station Tech Friday's
Dave Hatter at six thirty Empower You Seminar Tomorrow night,

(36:54):
seven pm on Yes, keeping You out of trouble. Dave
at the bottom, I got a just a wild revelation
from Google to talk about after the top of the hour.
News be right back at six and six on a Wednesday,
and a happy Wednesday to you right time. It's looking
forward to the bottom of this hour because Dave Hatter returns.
No it's not Friday, but he's doing an Empower You
Seminar tomorrow night, keeping us all out of trouble. Big big,

(37:14):
big draw Dave Hatter with Himbarry you so you can
log in from the comfort of your own home through
the website empower Youuoamerica dot org, or show up at
the Empower Youth studios. Dave's going to answer all your
questions and provide really sound advice. We'll get a little
insight into tomorrow's seminar at the bottom of this hour.
One hour from now, the return of Corey Bowman. I
invited Cory to join the program, realizing I had some time.

(37:35):
You know, Joe's out of town after he does the
rundowns a little space on the rundown, and that's yesterday afternoon.
I found out from a little bird who is good
friends with Corey Bowman, talks to them all the time,
mentioned to me that Corey has been receiving a lot
of death threats. Lowly Merrill, candidate in the city of Cincinnati,

(37:55):
is subject of death threats, and it just sort of
made me wonder, But who in the hell would threaten
Corey Bowman's life. I mean, he's got this beautiful family,
his wife, they go to events all the time. He's
the open book, come and talk to me kind of guy,
you know. Charlie kirk Esk pastor, god fearing man, spiritual man,
he doesn't we wish any ill will on anybody. He's

(38:18):
looking for solutions for the City of Cincinnati death threats.
But it made me think about all those non governmental
organizations that received a steady flow of cash from the
current per of all administration, that maybe their money is
under threat. Maybe the doleouts of taxpayer dollars that they
receive regularly to do some work in the community or whatever,
maybe they see as a potential, perhaps existential threat to

(38:42):
the organization's existence. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone at all.
I'm saying it out loud. I wonder where these what
drives someone to threaten a man like Corey Bowman along
those lines, some fear that they have of Corey Bowman
getting elected. I'm just looking for answers along those lines. Yeah,

(39:02):
they're busy lead negotiation, renegotiating for something that iris rolly contract.
Of course, she is a profound anti police spokesperson. She's
part of the Provow administration, and from all my understanding
and someone that knows can correct me if I'm wrong,
is very influential among her quote unquote followers, and any
given one of those, maybe some anti police defund slash rethink.

(39:26):
The police a little worried about Corey Bowman because he's
tough on law enforcement. He lives in the West End.
He sees the gun play all the time. So Coreye'll
join us to talk about that. Mary Beth Serucci from
Americans for Prosperity leading the Road to Prosperity Tour will
be talking about regulations and trying to deregulate to get
us some energy and abundance of it. Judge jenneral Poulatane

(39:48):
on free speech at eight thirty and speaking of free speech,
get a load of this, and we I remember screaming
about this when it was going on. The censorship during
COVID that was going on. Remember the government put people
in Facebook and x and over at Google, et cetera,
pressuring them to censor you your thoughts, your comments, your reactions
to the COVID vaccine, your reactions to masks. Senator Ran Paul,

(40:10):
one of the people who got had the post removed
and was banned from the platform for saying masks don't work,
which we all know now they don't. What was lies
and conspiracy theory then perpetuated by the government who did
not allow your independent thoughts and comments on the matter

(40:31):
to be posted. Even we all learned that they were
the ones that were lying to us, and Google has
now admitted that, Yeah, that's exactly what they were doing.
Alphabet Incorporated, which owns Google and YouTube, wrote a letter
to Congressman Jim Jordan Congress generally admitting that they were
forced into removing content by Joe Biden administration and his
senior aides. They're lawyers, writing to the House Judiciary Committee

(40:56):
Chairman Jim Jordan, it is unacceptable and wrong when any
including the Biden administration, attempts to dictate how the company
moderates content, and the company has consistently fought against those
efforts on First Amendment grounds. Really didn't seem like that
back when you were doing it, As his reported Washington

(41:16):
Times Gets credit. Censorship came in response to senior Biden
administration officials who repeatedly pressured them to take down content,
even though the material did not violate the company's policies.
The officials said the Biden administration aids and Biden quote
the lawyer's words on behalf of Alphabet created a political
atmosphere that sought to influence the actions of platforms based

(41:38):
on their concerns regarding misinformation. Wait a second, everybody's all
up in arms over Donald Trump getting Jimmy Kimmel fired.
Apparently he didn't because Jimmy Kimmel's back on his job. Anyway.

(42:00):
Google admitted to relying on quote health authorities close quote
when initiated. The policies kept in place through twenty twenty
four banning discussions regard to COVID nineteen policies treatments for
the virus. There's your ivermectin point questioning the virus, and
maybe it's got some problems associated with the vaccine. Maybe

(42:21):
there's problems associated with it Alphabet officials. In this letter
from the lawyers to Congressman Jordan from the law firm,
they say they were well intentioned, but added well intentioned,
but added the company recognizes it should never come at
the expense of public debate on these important issues. I

(42:43):
appreciate you coming around to well legal reality. Jordan's been
at this year's investigating this for years, looking into the censorship.
Jordan issued around a subpoenas seeking information from the various
social media company regarding censorship in December of twenty twenty.

(43:05):
YouTube announced it had terminated more than eight thousand channels
thousands of what they called at the time harmful and
misleading videos related to the twenty twenty election, including content
that alleged widespread fraud or errors that has gied the

(43:26):
election results. I know, my friend Maureen's out there listening.
She was the one talking about that a lot back,
what was going on, And we find out that, yeah,
a lot of shenanigans have been discovered over the years
since the twenty twenty elections. You couldn't talk about it
that back then. They censored your comments along those lines.
Oh look, lo and behold, turns out that what you
were saying happens to have some truth to it. Officials

(43:48):
said in the same announcement. This lawyer letter that third
party fact checked information panels that's in quotes were and
another word in quotes triggered more than two hundred thousand
times on election related content related to voting machine integrity
and state recounts. We can't mention that there is no

(44:10):
way we're going to allow anybody to stir the pot
of concern over the voting machine technology. You can't post
that you were removed from the platform basically. Google also
accused of demonetizing conservative media's publisher, The Federalist, as well
as zero Hedge, two sites that I look at all
the time, both conservative leaning, without question, Federalist CEO John

(44:36):
Davis in response to this admission from Google, Google owes
us all damages for what their censorship cost us. A
quick we're sorry now that they're in trouble. Isn't going
to cut it. Their censorship cost us millions. Bans were
implemented against Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, HHS Secretary Robert F.

(45:00):
Kennedy Jr. Senator Rand Paul. August twenty one, YouTube suspended
Rand Paul for a week after he appeared in a
video discussing two peer reviewed studies that determined cloth masks
do not prevent the spread of viruses. They had initiated
a three spikes, three strikes policy against users who repeatedly

(45:21):
posted prohibited in their mind content. Twenty twenty three, YouTube
removed a video by Jordan Peterson, podcaster Popular interviewing mister
Kennedy then a presidential candidate. You're talking about presidential issues

(45:42):
and presidential ideas. This is an important conversation to have,
you know, even if you think what Robert F. Kennedy Junr.
Was saying at the time you made he's the guys alone.
I can't believe he's saying this. That's the importance of
asking people about these things and questioning about issues that
they may have some control over if they get elected.
YouTube said at the time they removed the video of

(46:04):
this interview for and that this is again in quotes,
for violating YouTube's general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content
that alleges that vaccine cause chronic side effects. Huh outside
of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities. Huh.

(46:26):
And what have we learned since then? Myocarditis among them,
the problems miscarriages and amundents of those women having problems
with their menstrual cycles, a whole slew of those young
people dropping dead. You can't post anything about that, they
said at the time. Now they're asking for your forgiveness

(46:49):
to that end, officials in this letter to Jordan, So
they offered those banned from YouTube because of the COVID
nineteen comments, the electri related comments, or any other comments,
and opportunity to rejoin the platform so you can go
back at it. Again, what we said at the time

(47:13):
was actually going on. It was true. They've admitted it
without qualification. They were pressured into censoring your speech. That
is the government who has to honor your First Amendment
right to free speech, which includes well, fake speech, includes
hate speech, it includes misinformation and disinformation that what I

(47:38):
characterize in connection with global warming and climate change. The
government went in and told a private company they needed
to censor these comments. That is a First Amendment violation.
The Biden administration violated each and every one of your
civil rights and having these posts taken down or having
you otherwise banned from access. Now, if it was the

(48:02):
company on its own, acting independent of government, they can
do whatever they damn well please, it's their platform. You
don't like their rules and don't participate. That's different from
what Google is admitting went on. They capitulated to the
Biden administration six twenty two. If you have KERCD talk
station and we're talking free speech with judgment of Paul
Tonna at eight thirty, stay the hell out of our

(48:23):
lives a little chunk from his column. He was talking about,
you know, when government is involved, When government is involved,
government shouldn't be involved. In speech at all, it is
free speech, he says. Was it a late night comedian
taking off the air for a week because of a
business judgment made by his employers, or because the chair
of the Federal Communications Commission threatened his employers unless they

(48:44):
silenced them. Well, we know it's not the latter because
Jimmy Kimmel was back on TV last night. But if
it's the former business decision, there's no free speech issue.
There is no government involvement. If it's the ladder. In
other words, SEC has control over the decisions. The government
has attempted to do indirectly what it surely may not
do constitutionally. Do directly evaluate and act upon content of speech.

(49:09):
That's what the Biden administration did. It actively acted upon
the content of your speech. It wasn't a Jimmy Kimmel situation.
The SEC wasn't involved in that. And I talked about
politicians not knowing Jack Squad about all the things that
they legislate over and not knowing Jack Squad about the
Constitution along the lines of free speech. Great illustration of that. Representative.
James Cliburn on CNN News responding to Google, admitting that

(49:34):
the Biden administration pressured them to remove content related to
the coronavirus as well as election fraud. He claimed that's
different from Jimmy Kimmel because the content that the Biden
administration deleted. In essence, these weren't jokes. This wasn't a
TV show, This was a pandemic. I don't think they're
the same, he said, simply because Biden. If any of

(49:56):
this took place, and it did, because Google admitted it
through their lawyer, there's jim These weren't jokes. This wasn't
a TV show. This was a pandemic, and we don't
need to have misinformation going on about this pandemic. There
wasn't enough coming from the president at the time. Put
Claroks in your veins. That's the kind of foolishness the
Biden administration was trying to do, trying to let's say,

(50:17):
a pose. And so what they were asking is, let's
not put out information that you know is not true. Well,
what do we know now? It was true. I'm not
talking about the bleach. But you know what, I can
go on the radio and say, put bleach in you.
I don't know if I could be prosecuted for someone
who goes out and listens to my advice and dies.
That's where extra speech enters into the equation. No, Brian,

(50:40):
don't do that. That's not good because you'll die if
you do that. Here's all the research and information that
shows that doing that is bad for you, could be
detrimental to your health. Engage in a communication about it
and disregard that advice. Right, that's free speech. No, there
is no difference between someone commenting on during a pandemic
about the pandemic generally speaking, the treatments for the pandemic masking,

(51:02):
not masking, lockdowns, no lockdowns. That's all fair gain. The
Biden administration said it wasn't and engaged in the process
of censorship Jimmy Kimmel's on TV last night. Clearly sec
had no control over what ABC decided to do. As
dumb as it may have been, fine, let him go
on and ramble on. I'm not afraid of Jimmy Kimmel,

(51:22):
and I think having him out there spewing his his
lunacy is a great thing for the conservative minded folks
out in the world. He reveals his own stupidity through
his words. Isn't free speech a wonderful wonderful thing can
identify the idiots, you know, like the guy who thinks

(51:43):
Squam's going to capsize six twenty five right now, Tech Freddy,
they've had to coming up now six point thirty one
at fifty five KRC the talk station and Happy Wednesday.
Listen to Lunch Wednesday one week from today Jim and
Jackson the River, and every Friday at six thirty we
here for interest i T's Dave Hatter, who provides valuable
information to listeners who are willing to listen to it

(52:06):
and heed his advice. Also warns us about threats and
concerns out there in the world. That's what he's all about.
And interest I T is the business out there, the
business courier says is the best in the business for
businesses who have computers. That's everybody keep you out of
troubles and do best practices, and that's what it's all about.
Dave Hatter, You're doing a seminar Empower You America dot
orgs taking place seven pm tomorrow evening. Log in or

(52:29):
show up at Empower Youth Studio at Scarlett Oaks. That's
three hundred Great Oaks Drive. Dave Hatter, Welcome, back to
the program.

Speaker 5 (52:35):
My friend, Hey, Brian, always good to be here. It
seems a little weird on Wednesday, but you know, happy
to talk about empower You glad to his team invited
me back again. This will probably be like that. I
don't have seventh eighth time I've been out there.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Yeah, and he said, you're one of the most popular
presenters on Empower Youth seminars. I know it's a very
well attended whether people show up in person or log
in from home, it's very well attended because of the
advice you hand out. And I want to emphasize this
because you know, every once in a while I sometimes
want to interject on Fridays because you'll talk about some
tech thing that is beyond my understanding. You're like a

(53:09):
piece of God kind of a comment like, wait a second.
You are going to use relatable examples and you're going
to be talking to non technical The pretext for this
is you're going to be addressing an audience that you
perceive to not have all of this technical background and
make things easy to understand and applications practical and easy

(53:29):
to adopt.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
Well, that's exactly right, Brian. And obviously, rather than trying
to cram three different topics into less than thirty minutes
on the radio. We've got about an hour and a half.
You know, we're going to talk on cybersecurity stuff like
we always do. You and I going to dig more
into the privacy side of things, because you know that's
that's an important topic to me as well. But where

(53:52):
we're at society, with all the constant attacks and so
forth we see on the cybersecurity front, I generally tend
to focus more on that than privacy because I think
there's more risks to each of us as individuals, to
our organizations and to our society, and to your point,
you know, I've got a lot more time. I'll be
there in person, and I'm going to try to show
as many real world examples as possible. Like you know,

(54:14):
I think we talked about this last Friday. I've recently
created a blog post where as I get these ridiculous
scammy texts, right, and I'm sure you're getting them. I'm
sure all your listeners are getting them. The unique ones
I will take a screenshot of and dump them out
on this blog. So I'll walk through some of this
and try to explain not only why is this happening

(54:35):
for reasons like it's easy to spoof the phone number,
it's hard to look at the text and number. It's legitimate,
talk about some of the social engineering behind what they're
trying to do, and you know what you should do
about it. So it'll be the same kind of things
you and I talk about all the time, but a
lot more depth, a lot more detail, and frankly, the
ability to get anecdotes from folks in the audience and

(54:57):
to dive into these things and more depth as well
as at the end try to say, Okay, here's all
the things you need to know to protect yourself against this,
because you know, I think Brian, one of the most
interesting things is to not go to a presentation, seminar
or whatever you want to call it and listen to
someone like me drone on for an hour. It's to
have people in the audience talk about real world things

(55:18):
that have happened to them or someone they have.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Yes, interactive. That's the greatest thing about the seminar you're
putting on. I mean, maybe someone who's experienced a hack,
or me, a relative or something, and you can address
that specific illustration as a way of explaining to people
how to avoid the situation altogether.

Speaker 5 (55:34):
Yeah, exactly. I love to hear those stories, and I
think it's more impactful on the other people there, because again,
it's not me telling you some story that supposedly happened
or what I think might happen, or be afraid of
this or whatever else. Here's someone who's saying, this is
a thing that happened to me. And I'll tell you,
interestingly enough, who's doing some cybersecurity training for a client

(55:55):
yesterday for their employees and actually had someone in the
room say that their mother became a victim of one
of these scams. Oh, there's fraud on your bank account.
We're going to fix it, you know. And and then
she like, well, we're going to need you to go
to the bank, and they actually sent an uber God
took her to the bank and it was you know,

(56:17):
the bank teller realized something was wrong, called the Dune
County sheriff. The sheriff shows up, and you know, if
it weren't for that, possibly they would have stolen all
of this person's money. So when people say this is
far fetched and it can't happen to me, this doesn't
really happen or you know that sort of thing, or
that these people aren't that the people behind the crime

(56:37):
right aren't professional con artists, and they're not evil, and
we'll do or say anything to get your money. Again,
I'll tell more real world stories like this of things
I've either seen or that someone has told me, because again,
my my goal is for you to leave aware of
all the threats that you face out there, because sadly,
there's a lot of them, and then have some actionable,

(56:58):
concrete steps you can take to protect yourself, your family,
your business, and again our larger society since we're increasingly
digital with everythings that are connected. That's what I'm shooting for.
And again, hopefully there'll be a lot of conversation. You know,
I encourage people to ask questions along the way or say, hey,
you know that thing you said right there, could you
explain that in more details? So hopefully, hopefully it's not

(57:20):
just me talking the whole time. It'll be a very
interactive type of conversation. We'll get some more real world stories,
and there'll be lots of examples of the kind of
things that we see as a business that I see
and here talking to folks out there, so that hopefully
when you leave, you'll be a lot better off in
tens of the ability to secure yourself the when you showed.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Up great Now, I want to hold you over, if
you don't mind. I have a couple of topics I
want to find out if you're going to address. But
I also have this. I wanted to get your reaction
to the Secret Service dismantling this weaponized SIMS farm that
was designed to shut down the entire New York City
sell network and just kind of to feel you out
for that and what exactly it is, and what these
SIM servers and simcards where we're all about. So a

(58:01):
little heads up on that one. We'll bring Dave Hatter
back real quick here sixty one. I've KCD talk station
tomorrow night, seven pm. Empower Youamerica dot org, or show
up at the empower You Studio three hundred Great Oaks Drive.
That's a Scarlet Oaks campus and sit and listen to
Dave Hatter give you sound, easy to understand rational advice.

(58:22):
Dave Initially, let me just ask her, are you going
to provide a handout written materials, a link to maybe
some of the links or ideas and concepts you discuss
during the seminar tomorrow night.

Speaker 5 (58:33):
Yeah, Brian, I'll have a PowerPoint slide weeks out all
this stuff, including a bunch of links and resources for
people at the end, because I know there's no way
anyone's going to remember all the stuff. And then I'll
give that slide deck to the empower you team and
they can distribute it to anyone that wants it.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Fantastic, And I want to recommend folks follow you or
go to linked in and follow Dave Hatter because you
post things throughout the week that are very important and
great information. So another resource for people generally speaking on
matters technical. Now, I was curious to know. I am
so worried. You know, thankfully my children are adults, but
I'm sure they still deal with online content themselves. But

(59:11):
are you going to provide any information for parents to
protect their children from this dangerous and sometimes quite awful
online content.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
Well, I usually don't delve too much into the content
aspect of it.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
But I like apps or ways that you know, the
people can reg or at least follow what their children
are doing online or on their cell phones. I mean,
you know, like like spyware that you can use as
as as a responsible parent anything along those lines. I
don't want to put you on the spot and force
you to do it, but.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Here, here's what I'll do. I'll
bring it up and ask if anyone is interesting that
because you you know, this is a bunch of middle
age to older people that show up, and I just
don't normally go down that path. I'm more focused on
here's what you should do to protect yourself, your money,
your business, that sort of thing. So we can certainly

(01:00:02):
throw that in, you know, talk about printal controls from
the cell phone providers, software internet providers, all that sort
of thing. But yeah, I don't I don't typically get
too deep into that. That's similar word to ask about it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
All right though, how about for personal privacy? Privacy protection?
Will you Are you going to explain or dive into
maybe vp ns and password managers, which comes up regularly
on the segment you do here.

Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
Good, Yes, I would definitely cover that both of those
things specifically. And one of the things I'll do, Brian
is talk about because you know, a it's one thing
for the software platforms et cetera we use as a
business and intrust then it's a different thing for the
things I'm using for my own personal stuff that's not
business related. So I have a slide and I'll talk

(01:00:47):
about all the different things like Proton protons, VPN, the
Brave browser, you know, things that you can use that
are free or low costs, that are more privacy and
security friendly than some of the tech platforms like Google,
Crumb you know. We you know, I'm not a huge
fan of Google, right, and generally try to steer people
away from their offering. So yeah, I'll get into a

(01:01:09):
lot of that sort of thing again, talk about this
stuff I'm using, why I think it's better. And one
of the big points I always try to make things
is you know, when it's over, you get the slide deck,
and even if you don't come, you know, they'll post
a slide deck.

Speaker 8 (01:01:22):
You can have it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:22):
I don't care because my goal here is to just
educate people. But you know, you don't have to take
my word for this stuff. There are sites like c net,
cn et or zd net, Zelta, Zeta, Deco, Delta Net,
Tom's Guide, PC Magazine, Zoom Reports. We have editors and
experts that will talk about this. So what's the VPN?

(01:01:43):
Why do you need one? What's the best one. You
can get all of that information online from reputable sources
if you know where to look. You don't just need
to have a.

Speaker 9 (01:01:50):
Nerdy bed like me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Right, and you didn't have a pencil in your hand
when you rattled off all but all those different sites
that will provide helpful information, you will put it in
your slide deck. So that's what I was open for.

Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
All right, is correct?

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
And moving away from the seminar again and Poweruoamerica dot
org for all the details. Make sure you register. I
saw the Secret Service release this information. They seized three
hundred SIM servers and one hundred thousand SIM cards across
multiple sites. This happened in I believe it was in
New York, and they pointed out that this could have
disabled the entire cell phone network. Can you just give

(01:02:24):
me a general my listeners and me a general understanding
of what this is? And this is obviously a huge threat.
I doubt this is the only battery of servers and
simcards that could do this.

Speaker 5 (01:02:34):
Yeah, I think this is really disturbing, Brian. I don't
know if you've seen. This started to hit the internet
late last week. The National counter Terrorism Center put out
a release. It's not hard to find this that you
go look. NCTC supports US law enforcement first responders by
sharing intel product aimed at the tearing attacks by al
Kata And there's sort of a high level press release

(01:02:58):
and then there's a document that goes into more detail
warning about possible terrorist attacks on the homeland. Now this
came out late last week. Is that a coincidence? Is
this SIM thing related?

Speaker 8 (01:03:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:03:10):
Could this SIM thing be an example of the sort
of thing that they're planning maybe? I found this very
disturbing when it hit the news. So SIM means Subscriber
Identity module and it's basically a chip in your phone
that allows your phone to connect to a cellular carrier's
network for EYES and T Mobile whatever. Right, So this

(01:03:30):
Secret Service announcement came out. I'm reading directly from a
posting on the United States Secret Service website US Secret
Service that's mail's imminent telecommunications threat in New.

Speaker 9 (01:03:41):
York Tri state area.

Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
It says three hundred co located SIM servers and one
hundred thousand SIM cards across multiple sights. So basically what
they've built here is a bunch of servers that have
these SIM cards, and I'm apparently one hundred thousand, so
imagined one hundred thousand cell phone gotcha, hundred thousand cell
phones that are potentially sending out the spammy texts that

(01:04:04):
we just talked about. Want to know why you're getting
more of those? Well, it could be because there's one
or more of these sorts of send server farms out
there just spewing this garbage out because it's easy and
because this kind of capability exists. But the real threat,
as they mentioned, I'm going to read to you directly
from this, these devices can be used to conduct a
wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers,

(01:04:28):
enabling denial of service attacks, and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication
between potential threat actors and criminal enterprise. So if you
had one hundred thousand of these things and you basically
pushed a button and they just started sending.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Stuff all the same time, denial service.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
Attack right, all at the same time, possibly millions or
tens of millions of messages being sent from these things, calls,
made messages, whatever, overwhelming the sugular network. And you know,
for those of you who've seen the Dark Night movie,
if you re all like they you know, set up
a distraction while they do something else. You know, could

(01:05:04):
there be a terrorist attack and then this basically shuts
down the celling network, or it shuts it down in
advance of that. I don't know, and I'm not not
predicting that. I'm just saying when you see what the
National counter Terrorism Center is saying, and then you find
something like this conveniently near the U n conveniently near
the UN meeting where President Trump is going, and the

(01:05:27):
you know, the ability of this to potentially brown out
or blackout critical services because everything goes to the telecom network. Now,
it's very concerning to me. And you know, is this
the only one out there?

Speaker 8 (01:05:39):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:05:40):
Who knows? Because honestly, Brian, if you would have asked
me a week ago, is something like this possible, I'd
have said, well, I guess it's possible, but.

Speaker 8 (01:05:46):
I've never heard of such a before.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
And it shows you the creativity and potential danger that
these terrorist type cells could create.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
It really is a frightening, frightening real appreciate Dave hat
Or what you do, and I'm sure you're a seminar
to be well attended. I can't encourage my listeners enough
seven pm tomorrow evening. Empower you America. Dot orger is
where you start. Dave, Thanks for your time today and
I appreciate you doing the seminar tomorrow night.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
Always my pleasure. Hopefully a bunch of people show up.
Remember you can attend versally if you can't get out,
and I'll talk to you Friday, six.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
Fifty three, coming up at six fifty four fifty five
kre CD talk station. Up the top of our news
return of Meryl candidate Corey Bowman, who, sadly I learned
yesterday from a friend who was talking with Corey Bowman
been receiving death threats. This is crazy where we live
in Politically, Meryl candidate trying to do best by what's
best by the city, a spiritual man. I don't think

(01:06:43):
Corey wants to hurt anybody in this world. So we'll
find out the nature of these threats and how the
campaign is going after the top of the UR News,
followed by Mary Beth Serrucci leading the Road to Prosperity
tour Americans for Prosperity. She's taking a lead role on
this and regulations regulations regarding energy, talk about this morning,

(01:07:04):
you all looking at your Duke energy bills and you've
seen how unbelievably high they've gotten over the past several years.
Rates are continuing to go up. We need more supply,
and of course regulations are one of the impediments of
getting a safe, efficient, perpetual nuclear supply of energy. So
we'll talk with her on that at seven thirty Judge
and a Polton of Fast forward to eight thirty. The

(01:07:26):
topic today's column free speech. And the one thing that's
come out of all this with Charlie Kirk is at
least we get a nice civics lesson in what is speech,
what is protected, and what is not. It's gonna be
a great discussion with Judge Antenapolatan. I'll thoroughly enjoy having
them on the show. Remember fifty five care Sea dot
com and you can't listen live, Get the podcast as

(01:07:46):
well as your iHeartMedia app so you can listen to
all the content wherever you happen to be with your smartphone.
Stick around Corey Bowman after the top of the hour
news it's seven to six. I think you five KROCD

(01:08:11):
talk station. I wish and everybody a very happy Wednesday, Broon,
timas always happy to have Corey Bowman mayor ol candidate
coming up this November. You got an option, don't have
to stick with the same path or maybe a better
chance than Corey Bowman. I think represents a better path,
but sadly, being a candidate in these modern times comes
with its challenges and its downside risk. Corey Bowman, welcome
back to the Morning Show. It's good to have you on.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Hey, good moran Brian, It's always honored to be.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
On, and a distressing reason you're on. I reached out
to you yesterday after I found out and you can
provide the details because they were limited. A little bird,
my favorite little bird, providing me with information. I had
a conversation with you. He revealed to me that you
have been receiving death threats. That's an accurate statement.

Speaker 9 (01:08:55):
Well yeah, I mean I think that the threats come
in all different shapes and sizes. But a lot of
people were.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Asking, you know, if with everything happening in the last
few weeks with you assassination of Charlie Kirk, if we
had had any threats and I had just told him
that it would be honest with you. Ever since we
announced this campaign that we had received threats, you know,
whether it be through the channels of our church messages
or through even our coffee shop, and then even the

(01:09:23):
last few weeks, it was just something that we kind
of looked at a little bit more seriously because you know,
obviously I have a wife and four kids, and we
just want to take the right precautions if they're needed.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Well, so I understand that you received some threats through
the church.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Yeah, so just through messages of the church, And I mean,
to be honest with you, it's something that you know,
we're nice, you know, exactly surprised about because I mean,
even in the area that we're in. You know, sometimes
you know, when you have church, or when you have outreaches,
or if you're doing things, you ruffle some feathers here
or there. And then when people found out that you

(01:10:02):
know that I'm connected, whether it be through you know,
me being the past or the church, you know, people
want a form of communication, and if they don't have
my number or any public communication there, then they just
go straight to hey, connected to a.

Speaker 9 (01:10:15):
River a church, So it'll be through.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
A message, you know, on Facebook or whatever, and then
through our coffee shops stiffly just you know, kind of
been through messages or Google reviews or other things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Is there any context in connection to the message You're
being threatened because of your particular stance on an issue
or these just generalized type of threats.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Well, I think overall, like, let's look back at what happened,
you know, a few weeks ago with Charlie Kirk, because
Charlie was not running for office, he was just having
an opinion. He was having these events on college campuses
and he was simply just opening up for debate. And
with those debates became very you know, contradicting opinions. And

(01:11:03):
I think that's something that's healthy in our society that
we need to have healthy debate, debate, we need to
have contradicting opinions. But what we found is that when
you have opinions that kind of contradict each other with
certain groups, a lot of times their actually response to
that is whether it be violence or whether it be

(01:11:26):
with messages that kind of become threatening. And so for
us specifically, we had you been a part of what
really became real to me was that we got offered
to speak at the vigil the Charlie Kirk vigil at
University of Cincinnati. This was happening last Tuesday. So when

(01:11:47):
we got asked, I didn't promote it myself because not
out of fear, I just didn't want to make it
about me. I knew that if I announced it and
become a campaign event, I want to just simply be
there to honor Charlie.

Speaker 9 (01:11:59):
And so when we got up.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
You know, or when we were about to uh head there,
you know, we had contacted a third party security company,
and I basically just said, hey, can you just at
least assess the threat level? You know, I don't want
to take on anything that's not needed. And we had
left CPD know too, so I said, coordinate with CPD.

(01:12:21):
If there's not a thread or if there's not anything
that's really you know, needed, I'm fine with just going
by myself. I'll just drive myself there, but I at
least just want to take precautions in case. So they
coordinated with CPD and with uc CPD, and they came
back and their threat you know, assessment basically required that
I have a three detail. Along with UCPD and CPD coordinating,

(01:12:46):
They had drones and a lot of surveillance in the
area because they were making sure that nothing was getting done.
And you know, it just came a little bit more
real to me.

Speaker 9 (01:12:55):
This is something to where I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Like, Hey, I don't want to make a big deal.
I was surprised when you reached out to me, because,
to be honest with you, I never really want to
make it about these drama things. I want to make
it about the issues that were running on. But yeah,
it has become a reality that there are some people
that feel that the best course.

Speaker 9 (01:13:14):
Of action is violence, and we couldn't be more on
the opposite side of that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Well, right, And you know, I'll draw a parallel. You
have a very Corey or Charlie kirk ask mannerism about
you and your campaign. You have an open door policy.
You're willing to sit down and talk with anybody. Why
wouldn't someone who has a different political idea or different
political philosophy you want to take the time to sit
down with you and engage in this thoughtful conversation because
they believe they're on the right side of the argument

(01:13:40):
at least take a stab at maybe trying to convince
you that they're right and you're wrong. You do this
all the time. In fact, I saw Andre Ewing's post
Curse Breaker three hundred. He's great. I've had on the
program several times. He said he was. You know, he
had an outreach program with all the people who follow
him on Facebook. Listen, he's there waiting to talk to you.
Go take him up on it, you know, don't be

(01:14:01):
a coward, and just you know, and and and you
take these pot shots, sit down and talk with them.
So I mean, I'm impressed by that. And I think
in these difficult times that you're willing to do that.
I don't think you have to have provolls engaged in
an outreach program that's sitting down and and invite you
perhaps to sit down and talk with him. So profound
difference in campaign styles, but you know, it just it's

(01:14:22):
it's sort of a it's a small local campaign illustration
of the broader problem we face, which is, you know,
violence is not argument, like like curse words are not argument.
Those are just name calling. You have reached the lowest
form of debate, which isn't even debate when you go
down that path, that suggests to me, obviously I think
it's capitulation by resorting to violence. And threats of violence.

(01:14:44):
They've admitted that they lost the argument.

Speaker 9 (01:14:48):
No, I think you're.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Right, and you know, you know, I was kind of
might have. First time I experienced something was you know,
I have a friend that lives in Hamilton Pile and
he's been my best friend since.

Speaker 9 (01:15:02):
Literally we were born.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
So when we first got our yard signs, he was like, Hey,
I want a yard sign. And I was like, well,
you're in Hamilton, but yeah, you can have a yard sign.

Speaker 9 (01:15:12):
And so he took it, put it up in his yard.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Apparently somebody had run over with their car my sign,
and then they had removed it out of his yard
and he had got I mean, it's just in Hamilton, Ohio.

Speaker 9 (01:15:25):
And that's when I kind of realized that something.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Was going on here. And ultimately I know who my
brother is. People know who my brother is, and so
they're kind of putting you know, hey, if they can't
get to the vice president, you know, then they're going
to just trust high take it out on his brother.
And so I've kind of realized that, you know, I'm
just kind of a target when comes that. But right now, specifically, Brian,

(01:15:50):
I'm telling you, we're making a lot of momentum when
it comes to this race for Cincinnati, and people are
starting to wake up and understand that we've got to
have a difference in a leader, the difference in the
direction that we're going. And that's ruffling a lot of
feathers too, because we're not just there to run for
a candidacy. We're there to make sure that our city.

Speaker 9 (01:16:10):
Is not going in the same direction that it's been
going the previous years.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Well, and I maybe the threats of violence are a
reflection of their concerned you might actually win this thing.
You know. The other component of this is you and
I have talked about it, and we found out and
think guys like Todd Zens or Citizen Watchdog have revealed
all of the money the city taxpayer dollars that are
flowing out into the world supporting these non governmental organizations
who purport to go out into the world and solve

(01:16:38):
problems in the community or whatever they purport to say.
They get a lot of money, and that money is
under threat with Corey Bowman as mayor because you promised
to run a fiscally responsible ship and we of course
had a finite number of dollars. Maybe that money should
go to the roads or perhaps police, but they run
the risk of losing their funding. That could be a
real big concern out there among those organizations and maybe
fueling some of this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Yeah. Well, I've said it from the beginning, and is
that the way that our country's going right now. There's
a lot of things that are getting wrecked when it
comes to corruption and waste of money. And I really
believe that these downtown cities, this isn't just in Cincinnati,
this is all across the board in America, that these
downtown cities, for a lot of these people, it's the

(01:17:23):
last stand for corruption and for waste in policy or
waste in budget.

Speaker 9 (01:17:29):
Because let's look at New York City for example.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
You know, we have a race going on to where
you have a socialist that's running for mayor of New
York City, right, and then you have a bunch of
other candidates. But let's look at who is actually running
too that Andrew Cuomo said that he was running for
mayor of Cincinnati.

Speaker 9 (01:17:48):
This is a man that used to be the governor.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
And so when I saw that, I realized what was
going on. Is that a lot of democratic you know,
heavy hitters, instead of running for a state or even
federal offices. You're going to see a lot of them
start running for city offices because this is the ground
zero for that last stand. And a lot of the
money through these city budgets are being funneled into nonprofits,

(01:18:14):
into NGOs, and then what happens is that a lot
of this money that's being fundled not only turns into kickbacks,
but it turns into campaign donations, and it really does.
It turns into campaign donations that is going to continue
these candidates to have strong campaigns. And so that's what

(01:18:35):
we're up against as well, because we're running this campaign
on common sence. I really believe that city government, you're
a glorified custodian. You simply just need to make sure
that the city is safe, that the city is clean,
and that you're spending the money properly. There's no room
for all these national politics when it comes to just

(01:18:56):
your city government. You're supposed to take care of the
people that you're in charge of in the city of Cincinnati,
and that's not what's happening at the current leadership. They've
allowed all these issues, they've allowed all these agendas to
kind of push all of the.

Speaker 9 (01:19:11):
Priorities in the budget.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
And then on top of that, I mean being in
the West End. I think that's probably the biggest thing
that has opened my eyes, because the West End has
been the dumping grounds for a lot of these failed
policies and a lot of this corruption, a lot of
these nonprofits and NGOs. Whenever contractors or developers that are
local reach out to these properties that are owned by

(01:19:35):
these organizations, they get told that, oh, there's a twelve
month waiting period and you can't build unless it fits
with the zoning.

Speaker 9 (01:19:43):
Of what we agree with. Well, I know what a
portfolio game looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
I know when you say, hey, there's twelve month waiting
period on a condemned or on a vacant property, then
you're trying to hold it on your books for a
long amount of time so that you can utilize it
as an asset for some anything else.

Speaker 9 (01:20:01):
And that's exactly what a.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Lot of these communities have become, is just they've been
portfolio games, and they've been on the books a lot
of these organizations so that they can get richer and richer.

Speaker 9 (01:20:11):
And I believe that that's wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Well, and the other component to these NGOs out there
in the world not just money that may be flowing
back into various council people or mayoral candidates campaign coffers,
but they always come with a team of people out
in the world who are willing to campaign and actively
door knock, put up signs, or provide you know, on
the ground resource work for these various candidates to keep

(01:20:37):
them in office. So there's bodies and there's money, and
there's a lot of potential for corruption there and I
think they see the writing on the wall potentially for that.
Real quick, you mentioned the West End. You are there,
you live there, your church is there, your business is there.
In so far as that you're the safety of your
business in church. Are you getting a lot of support
from the folks in the West End and looking that
have your back and are looking out for you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
Yes. So, I mean we have security systems at our
coffee shop.

Speaker 9 (01:21:02):
And our church with these events, what we're doing, you know,
moving forward.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
With everything, and we've always had like you know, helps ministry,
but also like people that know what they're doing. We
have some retired CPD officers that help run security at
our church, and so that's always been something that we
considered because we keep the parishioners safe. We make sure
that people know that when they come to church downtown

(01:21:28):
that they are coming to a safe environment where all
they're there to do is hear the Word of God
and experience fellowship with other people. And so they're going
to experience that at our coffee shop. I joke around
and I tell people that, you know, we have their
CPD that drive around because it's part of their route
and their beat, and we have our security system, but

(01:21:49):
my greatest security system is the people around. It's the
neighbor and because they actually like us being there, I
just say that the hood had my back because a
lot of these guys they come in every morning to
get their black cup of coffee. Or there's one of
my customers, he's gotta he calls it a God mode,

(01:22:10):
but it's simply just a red eye. It's it's a
black cup of coffee and espresso machine.

Speaker 9 (01:22:14):
He comes.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
He's a local business guy and he lives right across
the street. And I just tell people that the community
has our back more than anybody there are. And that's
really how a lot of these neighborhoods operate. You know,
if you try to mess with any of them, The
best people to talk to is people in neighborhood because
they'll be on their phone and say, hey, they know
exactly what group of young people you know messed around
with that car.

Speaker 9 (01:22:35):
They know exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
And so we got connections not just in the government
or and the police, we got the right connections in
the neighborhood as well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
So it's got Corey's back, Cory's got the hoods back,
and that is any neighborhood in town when it comes
to him being mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Cory Bowman,
God bless you, sir. You might want to let the
FBI know about the death threats as well. We'll be
praying for you and look forward to having you back
on the show real soon.

Speaker 9 (01:22:57):
My friend, Hey, I appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
I want to remind by that the last day to
register to vote is October sixth, and early voting starts
October seventh, So we can, you know, complain all we want.
We can actually look at what's happening in our city
and be discouraged, or we can get out and vote.
So everybody get out vote for Corey Bowman for mayor Cincinnati.
Go to Coreybowman dot com. Also research all the council

(01:23:21):
candidates and vote for who is going to stand up
for the city.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Amen. Brother, So twenty eight fifty five car ce Detalk Station,
Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to the fifty five KRS Morning Show.
Taking over for Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity
and launching the Americans for Prosperity major campaign to unleash
America's energy potential. Maribeth Serucci, you good to have you

(01:23:44):
on the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (01:23:46):
Hi, thanks for having.

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
Me perfect timing on this, since any inquire reminding us
about we already what we already know about our energy
bills have gone through the roof. Apparently in the last
five years, our bills are up seventy five or seventy
seven percent. What we pay three or what we paid
one hundred and thirty five dollars for in a month
is now up to three hundred and ten bucks. Substantial increase.
This is the law of supplying demand kicking in. There's

(01:24:09):
much more demand for electricity than there is available electricity,
so our rates went up and that's continuing. Unless we
get some regulatory reform, we're going to continue down this
same path. Marry your thoughts in common. You nailed it well.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Americans can't stand how their energy builds go up. And
there's really not any excuse for this because we are
sitting on an abundance of energy. We just need government
to get out of the way, remove the red tape,
and let innovation and American ingenuity do what they do best.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Well, Mary Beth, we had a caller this morning, Jay
expressing out just absolute frustration, and I know where he
was coming from. You know, we have Republican control the Senate,
Congress and the presidency. How come this isn't done already?
Why haven't we deregulated otherwise taken bold quick steps to
do something about the burdensome regulations that prevent us from
developing energy sources like oh, I don't know, media, small

(01:25:02):
modular nuclear reactor.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
I know, I hear you. It's frustrating because it seems
like everything takes so long. Come on, we worked nine
months to get the one big, beautiful bill passed, so
this is number two. And you know the bottom line
is that your elected officials need to hear from you.
So that's why we do the things we do. I'm
going on this tour and I'm highlighting energy projects that
have been stalled or are showing American inguity and what

(01:25:26):
we can have so that the American people understand what
we can do and what the barriers are. And the
purpose of that is to get them to take action
and sign our petition and contact their legislators, and that
Americans for Prosperity, you know that we make it easy
for people to reach out and get involved in government
policy or find out exactly how to contact their legislators.

(01:25:47):
And you know, when Americans for Prosperity grassroots people reach out,
they listen. So that's the goal. We need people to
really get engaged in this and it's hard. So you
try to make energy policy fun, right, how do you
do that and get people engaged? So going off this
tour is one way to try to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:04):
Well, you know what, I guess I anticipated what you're
going to say along those lines, because that was my
exact response after I hung up with Jazz. You know, listen,
elected officials rarely hear from their constituents. When they get
inundated with a bunch of emails or communications relating to
a specific topic, they're like they're eyes light up, like
wait a second, this is really important. I'm hearing from
all kinds of people about this, and energy policy is

(01:26:24):
one that we can all get behind and contact their
elected officials. Hell, it was in January this year the
Trump issued the executive order requiring these agencies to review
all existing orders, regulations, and guidance imposing this burden on
the development and use of domestic energy. Hey, he ordered it.
Start reviewing it. Let's start yanking the plug on some
of these regulations.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:26:45):
But the problem is that we have things done by
executive order, and we need them codified into law because
you know, what I saw when I meet these businesses
and on these tours is that they need a certainty
for the future. They can't know that in a couple
of years if we have a different president, things going
to be undone. Because they're investing billions of dollars into
modernizing their plants or adding on additional energy projects. It's

(01:27:08):
a lot of money and they need that certainty. So
we really need Congress to make this stuff, you know,
certainty for the future, make it law and not just
have it done with executive orders. I'm glad we have
executive orders, and it started the ball rolling I don't
think that the average American understands that energy demand is
going up drastically because of AI and data centers, and

(01:27:29):
a lot of our power grids are kind of maxed out.
I was at one event and I've actually heard somebody
in the industry say we could be out of electricity
by twenty twenty six. Like that's that's not that far away.
Like we don't want people experiencing rolling blackouts. We really
need action and we need it now, and that's the message.
And then educating people as to what's occurring. It's, you know,

(01:27:53):
so paramounts what we do.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
I know AFP is behind and happy about the introduction
of what are called the Permit Act in one that
sounds promising the Speed Act. What are these two pieces
of legislation and this is this something else my listeners
should be pressing their elected officials.

Speaker 4 (01:28:08):
On Yeah, you know, I would say you could definitely
just go to Prosperity as Possible dot com and get
information on those bills. We also are expecting another comprehensive bill,
hopefully to be introduced in October. So yeah, a lot
of legislation coming that would speed up the permitting process.
That would simplify the regulatory agencies. We have issues in

(01:28:32):
Washington where some agencies aren't talking to other agencies. We
have issues where we have duplicative regulations and multiple multiple agencies.
So there's just a lot of things that need to
be corrected, not to mention that the whole system is outdated.
I think when we see regulatory reform, a lot of

(01:28:52):
people think, oh, that means you're going to make it
less safe, and that is absolutely the opposite. It's not
less safe. It's modernizing an outdated, overburdened, overburdened system and
making it simpler, which means, you know, that saves money
for the organizations, it saves time, and ultimately it saves
the money for us the consumer, and that's who we're

(01:29:13):
looking out for. We're looking out for that person who's
electric bill has gone up two hundred dollars a month
and can't afford it and are saying, why is this happening?
And the reason that's happening is multiple issues, multiple red
tape out of Washington, DC. And we're hoping to trickle
down into the states because there's a there's not a
big difference when I talk to state governments and federal

(01:29:34):
governments on regulatory reform issues, the amount of time it
takes to get a permit, things like that. It's the
same thing. We we just need to fix it.

Speaker 5 (01:29:42):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
I think about safety and security of not only business
and industry, but our country generally speaking. You know this
should be I mean, if someone is concerned about safety
and energy production, I think that overlooks the fact that
we are unsafe if we don't speed along the process
of putting more energy online. I mean, our country can't
survive without an abundance of energy, and we are. Energy demands,

(01:30:03):
as you point out, with artificial intelligence alone, are increasing exponentially.
So you know, a retort to this, oh my god,
you're going to make it less safe to produce energy, because,
oh my god, we're going to have it less safe
generally for the public at large and our American businesses
and our economy if we don't speed this along.

Speaker 4 (01:30:19):
That's right. And you know, we visited an amazing coal
mine in your state, and I did a deep well
mine in the Pittsburgh in the Pittsburg area where I'm from.
And the technology that we have in America is just
second to none. We do energy safer and cleaner than

(01:30:41):
anywhere in the world. And that's another thing I hope
to highlight on this tour is let people really see
how well we do this and how safe. And you know,
some of these people have said to me, you know
that are working in these minds and are in these companies,
safety and protection of environment it's critical critical to them too.

(01:31:02):
They said, they don't want to remove that at all.
They just want the overburdens some regulations to be to
be more straightforward, straightforward.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Well, are these onerous regulations? Are they predicated on climate alarmism?
Or are they I mean built over time in a
different technologically less savvy period of time. And of course
some of them are outdated and we've moved past that,
like for example, again going to nuclear technology, we are
not building three mile island type nuclear plants anymore. But

(01:31:34):
or or is this also a component of maybe a
regulatory turf battle, that's all these behind the scenes, you know,
deep state regulators. They don't want to lose their jobs.

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
Well, I mean, there's I think it's all of the
all of those things you mentioned are definitely a factor.
But there's no doubt the climate type policies we saw
under the last administration just canceling permits for federal permits
for projects had already been approved, shutting down pipeline, stopping infrastructure.

(01:32:05):
I was also at the Shale Insight Conference in Erie, Pennsylvania,
which has leaders in the natural gas industry from Ohio,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania. And you know, they said that the
shale we have an a fendis of shell. I think
I think your area knows that too. The actual production
of it has plateaued because we don't have the pipeline infrastructure.

(01:32:29):
They said, our pipeline infrastructure is so old and it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
Made for the volume.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
And now we're also doing liquid natural gas, so it
needs to be modernized. And a lot of those pipelines
have been shut down in the past. Yes, for environmental reasons, definitely,
but you know, you're talking energy security for Americans. Yes,
we have the natural gas that we can we can

(01:32:54):
get to the public, but we need the infrastructure to
get it there. I mean things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Look at California. Look at California. They are going they're
backpedaling the opposite direction as quickly as they possibly can.
They wouldn't allow pipelines now they can't get the out
of state resources that they desperately rely on, or out
of country resources to their ports. They can't get it
to the people who needed the energy of the energy
producing plants. Pipeline lack of pipelines, the regulatory burden they

(01:33:22):
placed on all these industries, the closure of the refineries.
I mean, they are struggling mightily and they're staring eight
dollars gallon gasoline in the face. So what are they doing.
They're unringing the bell of regulatory control. They're backpedaling. They're
opening up the opportunity to develop more production of natural resources,
including evil carbon producing fossil fuel type energy. It's just

(01:33:44):
it's comical to see where they're going. But there's your answer.
It didn't work, and they're desperate and they're concern.

Speaker 4 (01:33:50):
Now, well, it's a myths for people who think that
we can replace our fossil fuels in America with winder solar.
It provides three five percent of our energy demand in
the United States. And I just I was just in Kentucky,
and you know, Kentucky doesn't really have wind. Just the

(01:34:11):
way A little lesson from the state senator there who
was in the Navy on the way that the winds
and the climate work. And who is explaining how we
don't have wind in the middle of Kentucky. There just
isn't any. Like people they see other countries that have wind,
you know, in the Nordic areas, and they think we
can do that here, but we can't. Like it's we
are an all inclusive you know, we can use those

(01:34:33):
we can use those types of energy where it's suitable,
but it's a supplemental type of energy. Like we still
have to use the resources that we're given in America.
So we need people to understand that. You know, we
understand that they want to have clean, safe energy and
we don't. We all want that, right, but they have

(01:34:55):
to understand the reality is we cannot replace the things
that we're taken off of the with just wind and solar,
or we're going to we're going to have going blackouts
and we're not going to have the energy, uh, just
to meet the demand let alone. Like you talked about
our future economic dominance in the world, right, we want
to maintain the leadership around AI and data centers. We

(01:35:17):
want it to be the leader and that requires not
the same level of energy. But like thirty percent more
so if you think about you know, our energy is
plateaued and we're having a hard time adding to it,
but we need to add thirty percent demand due to
AI and data centers. Yeah, we really need to move.

(01:35:38):
We really need something to happen here.

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
Barabserucci, you know what we need more of is more
electric vehicles hooked up to the grid. That'll work very best, Serrucci.
She's leading the Road to Prosperity tour, and the way
we help out is go to I think I've got it.
Prosperity is profitable dot com.

Speaker 4 (01:35:53):
No, Prosperity is possible.

Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
Possible, it's also profitable.

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
But we also have afphq is on most of our Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter handle Americans for Prosperity Headquarters AFPHQ, So follow.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
Us, follow them a FPHQ you'd be glad you did,
and it's easy to get engaged. AFP makes it so
easy to do. So Prosperity is Possible dot Com. Marybeth,
it's been a pleasure having you on. Keep up the
great work and hopefully we'll quickly turn around the problem
that we have well prevented we have imposed upon ourselves.

Speaker 4 (01:36:27):
Yeah, thanks for sharing the message. Make sure you get
out there and contact your legislator.

Speaker 1 (01:36:31):
Amen underscore exclamation point in bold. Thank you, Mary Beth
se seven fifty here at fifty five KRCD talk station.
Got some time to talk to me now and eight
thirty with Judgennena Polatano on the topic of free speech
this morning. Maybe among other things, but at least we'll
talk free speech. That's the subject matter of his column.
And I think it's a great thing. We're learning a

(01:36:52):
civics lesson and what is free speech? What is protected
and what's not. And I can say out loud again, look,
Jimmy almost back on a show. I guess Donald Trump
didn't have him fired. Hmm, interesting how that works anyway.
Trump speaking of the UN the other day, delivering what
he campaigned on by way of a very straightforward message

(01:37:13):
to the UN, there was a meme floating around a
knuck of it'll get the context completely accurate, but somebody
took a picture of it. It's Milania. She's got a
big smile on her face, sitting there in the crowd
at the UN listening to Trump's address. Said the smile
the reaction you get knowing that by cutting the electricity
off to the teleprompter, You're going to get at least

(01:37:34):
an hour more of unfiltered Donald Trump, which is what happens.
He said, the telepropert didn't work, so he said, I'm happy,
I just go ahead and speak without notes, And he
just floored him with things he said on the campaign trail,
speaking truth to the craziness that is at the UN,
what I consider to be a worthless organization. I think
the only reason we stay involved with it is because, well,

(01:37:56):
we get a lot of spy information from him. It's
a great intelligence resource. And wouldn't you love to know,
as I have always wanted to know, how many CIA
agents are employed in the UN or otherwise working for
the CIA and providing data and information about what the
folks from other countries say, and most notably the other
folks from the other countries also with their spy agencies

(01:38:17):
embedded in the UN. So it's one opportunity for everybody
to keep track of each other. That's my only perception
of the UN anyway, an hour long speech speaking about
wars and windmills and the malfunction and escalator edition of
the teleprompter not working. The minute Milannia Trump, and Donald
Trump stepped on the elevator and magically stopped or escalator.

(01:38:40):
It stopped. I got the impression somebody's looking into that
as if it was an intentional act. And he rode
with it, and he made fun of the un about
the failed escalator, and then he went on and talked
about the throat cutting that we're all doing. Double tailed monster,
and what is the doubletail monster identified by Donald Trump yesterday,

(01:39:02):
Immigration and the high cost of so called green renewable energy,
which he said is destroying a large part of the
free world and a large part of our planet. Countries
that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies
on these two subjects, both immigration and their suicidal energy ideas,
will be the death of Western Europe. Your countries are

(01:39:24):
going to hell, and it may be harsh from your perspective.
With profound observation, not the first time he's uttered it,
but see, to me, he just revealed the point of
all this, the death of Western Europe and the death

(01:39:45):
of the United States of America as well. Every day
you can see reports of just unchecked throngs of illegal
immigrants all throughout the European Union. Culturally, completely different than
any of the European Union countries. And of course that
is the argument behind getting a bunch of people from

(01:40:06):
the other parts of the world into your country, watering
down European culture, evil, white supremacist European culture. And of
course energy goes hand in hand with that. Germany's getting
ready to bankrupt itself, and so it's France chasing the
green new energy tail. They don't have enough energy to

(01:40:26):
go around the prices of good Germany. You think your
Duke energy bill is bad, you better thank god you
don't live in Germany. But straightforward, he was, and I'm
pleased he said it. And as far as energy and
springing off the heels of Marybeth from Americans for Prosperity

(01:40:47):
on the Road to Prosperity Tour, he framed his remarks
with argument for what he described as American energy dominance,
praising our oil, gas, and nuclear resources and warning nations
relying heavily on renewable energy are heading toward disaster, singling out,
of course, the European Union climbing policies as examples of
what not to follow. Of course, California learn that lesson too,

(01:41:10):
and they're unfollowing the identical policies that the European Union
is still dealing with and failing because of It's amazing,
isn't it. Sevent fifty five fifty five kr CD talk station.
Feel free to call. Got time between now and Judge
Nita Polaitana. I'll be right back after the news. Eighth
five here fifty five kr CD talk station. Very happy
Wednesday to you, Brian Thomas. Inviting phone calls. We've got

(01:41:32):
some time between now and the bottom of the arm
when we hear from Judge Andrew Topolitano, as we do
every Wednesday at eight thirty. Today's subject freedom of speech
and uh A couple of five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three
talk or pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
A couple of little house keaty mine is here to
the woman who called and spoke with Danny. She was
interested if we were going to have Brigham account from

(01:41:53):
the Hudson Institute on anytime soon. I presume that we will.
He's an energy policy expert, and then time couldn't be better.
Considering Americans for Prosperities efforts and Donald Trump's comments to
the UN about climate policy ruining the world. So we'll
get bringing back on soon. But more fundamentally, she asked
for a couple of phone numbers for some of the

(01:42:14):
show's sponsors. She didn't ask for Fast and pro Roofing
Fastened pro Roofing. Ma'am, you maybe get my daughter's fiance
out there. He works for Fast and pro Roofing. I
advertise for them. They do outstanding work. I got my
new roof replaced and Fast and pro Roofing did the work.
It's superior work. So it's one other option for you
to consider. You can find on line of Fastenproroofing dot

(01:42:36):
com seven to seven ninety four ninety five. So there's that,
and what else did I want to bring up? Ault?
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Thomas Hughes. Now,
I don't know that I know Thomas Hughes, but I
received a letter yesterday's mail from the Cure Starts. Now

(01:42:57):
that's the Pediatric Brain Cancer Research Fortuse. I've been working
with them for years and they're outstanding people. You probably
know the story behind it. I've had Keith Destrich and
Brook Destricts on the program many times over the past
ten fifteen years the loss of Dotted, a pediatric brain cancer,
and began this wonderful organization which is now global. They
raised millions of dollars for cancer research, and that research

(01:43:19):
is actually bearing some fruit in terms of positive development
and dealing with this tragic, tragic pediatric brain cancer. But anyway,
the Leather states, and I just very briefly, because this
really warmed my heart to no end. We wanted you
to know that you have been in our hearts. I'm
writing to share that a donation has been made to
the Cure Starts now now in honor of Brian Thomas

(01:43:41):
from Thomas Hughes. You have have made with heartfelt intentions
to support a cause that is changing their lives through
cutting edge brain cancer research and unwavering commitment to families
and children impacted by cancer. The Cure Starts now works
tirelessly to fund innovative research, support affected families, and bring
us one step closer to a world without pediatric We
bring cancer. They conclude with it's our hope that this

(01:44:03):
gesture brings you comfort knowing that it contributes to meaningful
progress and honors a legacy of compassion, strength and hope.
Thank you, Thomas Hughes, and to anybody else. I don't
want it in my name. I just like to bring
these types of organizations to your attention so you do
help them out, because I've seen what they have been
able to do, and every little bit counts. It's like

(01:44:25):
getting in touch with your elected official, will tell them
to get the hell on energy policy. Write a little
check to the cure starts now, budle it with the
rest of best of the other money they're getting in,
and we may very well fund a cure for cancer research.
And we all know cancer absolutely sucks. So Thomas Hughes,
thank you. A special shout out to you that gesture.
It was very beautiful. Let's see this. Oh, I'll go

(01:44:51):
back to something I brought up earlier. It was in
the stack is stupid. And you heard the announcement the
other day from Trump and RFK Junior about the use
of tile and all for pregnant women. Now agree or
disagree with it, I just suggest it's additional information that
you can use and take into consideration whether you want
to go ahead and use talent hal when you're pregnant.
Do I know for certain whether or not Til and
all and pregnancy causes autism. No, I do not, But

(01:45:12):
my wife made a better point, And thank you Paul
Atte for sending me the text message when we're talking
about this, because the stack of stupid story involve pregnant
women online showing their little videos of them popping tile
and all, sort of in an active defiance to Donald Trump. Yeah,
I'm taking a tile and I'll screw you, Donald Trump. Okay,

(01:45:34):
you want to make that political stand, fine, I'm thinking
the health of the baby is an issue here. But
this is obviously a woman who rejects what the Trump
administration and the Health and Human Services Department have now recommended,
which is, take a long hard look or think about
before you take the tile and all, and see the
benefit during pregnancy, consider that it may have a connection
with autism. Do what you want, but consider it. We're

(01:45:59):
not bad, but my wife's would point on that, and
I thought it was an excellent one. And my wife
is a nurse by trade. Before I met her, she
was a nurse for a decade before we met. Of course,
she went on to get a law degree, but she
still knows a thing or two and does pay very
close attention to this kind of thing, because she works
for the largest hospital system in the country. Pregnant women

(01:46:20):
should not drink alcohol while pregnant because of the risk
of the baby's development. Does anybody out there not know that?
I mean, I've been hearing about that for years and
years and years. You know, it's a subject of sitcoms
and movies. Oh you're drinking, aren't you pregnant? Right? You
all know that? And she pointed out if tal and
all were evaluated by the FDA today, it will be

(01:46:42):
prescription only. More people have liver failure due to excessive
use of tilool than from alcohol only because of trump
rangents syndrome. Is there's such a stupid response. Yes, don't
focus on the autism thing. Focus on taking tile and
all simply because it's terrible for you your liver and
I presume the same bodily fluids and blood and everything

(01:47:05):
else is flowing through the baby, so you maybe run
the risk of ruining the baby's liver before it's born.
Don't take tail and all if you can avoid it
because of the potential risk for liver failure. How about that?
Just pure and simple? You see, that doesn't mean never
take tilanol. But mind the dosage, and the quantity factor

(01:47:25):
that into the equation when you're considering something for pain relief,
maybe there's an alternative to tile and all because that,
Harry's a risk of the liver liver problems. So thank you,
paul Ette. That was an excellent point. Another excellent point,
and I don't have to go through the whole thing.
But Jason Riley, he writes for the Wall Street Turnal,
the op ed opinion, he's a smart guy. I don't

(01:47:46):
have any criticism against Jason generally speaking, but he made
a rather interesting observation regarding these H one B visa
program changes. Donald Trump wants to charge one hundred thousand
dollars per H one B visa, and quite often these
visas go to obviously foreigners who have the educational requirements
that some business out in the world needs. Quite often Google,

(01:48:07):
Alphabet and those other big companies for computer programming and
computer geeks, folks like Dave Hatter, they need those folks.
And so the answer is, well, wait a second, why
don't they hire them from Americans? Or why don't we
provide the jobs to Americans. The retort is always, normally, well,
they're saving money by hiring a foreign national for this job,

(01:48:27):
and the H one BVS allows them into the country
without fear of being deported. Right, But is it all
about money? And so Jason doesn't announce this. So this
first he starts with the NEAP scores National Assessment of
Education Progress, pointing out something that I brought up quite
a few times over the past several weeks and in
prior years, that our nation's children are getting dumber every

(01:48:51):
single day, worst reading score since nineteen ninety two, and
the NEAP scores MASS scores the lowest since they started
testing two decades ago. Thirty one percent of eighth grader
scored ad er above the proficiency level. On science only
thirty one percent well in that stem area is exactly
where many of these jobs are needed, right, and that's

(01:49:13):
in K through twelve According to NEAP findings, percentage of
students scoring at the highest level, those really brilliant folks
that we're going to rely on to create jobs for
us and create ideas in businesses and industries. Math performance
at the Advanced Achievement level the ninetieth percentile flat least,
it's not going down aptitude and reading. I'm sorry, Fell

(01:49:41):
Program for International Student assessment a global assessment of fifteen
year olds in twenty eighteen, only eight percent of US
test takers scored in the top tier in mathematics, fifteen
percent in Canada, eighteen percent in Japan, twenty nine percent
in Hong Kong. As your top tier folk, and obviously
we are outnumbered by just those three countries. And he

(01:50:05):
says today's students will populate tomorrow's labor force, and employers
who rely on workers with math, science and engineering backgrounds
have been complaining for decades that too many Americans are
uninterested or ill prepared to fill these jobs. And then
he criticizes Trump for making it harder for US companies
to hire these foreign nationals who apparently have the skill

(01:50:27):
sets that we don't have here in the United States
of America. And his ultimate concern is that, wait a second,
if you made it more expensive for these big companies
to do business here by charging them one hundred thousand
dollars or ready of the fee associated with getting the
people they need, what's stopping them from taking their ball

(01:50:50):
and running with it to some other country and setting
up shop where it's easier for them to accomplish what
they want to accomplish in their business model. Now, I'm
not as concerned about that as I am about the
sort of reality that he is presenting to us. Dumb
people are being churned out in our education system, people

(01:51:13):
that don't qualify for much employment, let alone these high
level intellectual advanced job offerings and openings that exist. They
couldn't do it, And isn't that frightening?

Speaker 8 (01:51:29):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:51:30):
Another reality that we are not going to be the
greatest country that the world has ever seen forever, because
if we dumb down our population enough, we're going to
have much of idiots floating around that don't know how
to think for themselves, can't fill these jobs, and probably
end up reducing our economic might, either because the companies
fail because they lack the talent, or because maybe they

(01:51:52):
will pack their bags and move elsewhere. A fifteen fifty
five KCD talk stations just something to think about. It's
seven point twenty year at ifty five CAMD talks stations.
Try to make it a happy Wednesday, you know the
plug for Jim and Jackson the River Next Wednesday, I'm
going to be there. I think Christopher Smithman is going

(01:52:12):
to be there. It's his second home, so he'll come
off the cot in the back room from his private
apartment at Jim and Jackson come out and hand out
yard signs. Shake hands with Christopher next Wednesday. Haven't heard
back from Westside Jim to see if he's going to
make it. Oh, yes he is, he did respond, and
I I adore, I adore my regular listener lunch folks.
Just such a great crew of people. So Jim and

(01:52:33):
Jacks last listener lunch before the election. I'm hoping Corey Bumman.
I forgot to ask Corey if he was going to
be able to make it to lunch next week. Maybe.
Of course, you're a candidate running for the running the
election of November, it's a great chance to shake hands,
meet some people who might help your campaign. So we
could see some judicial candidates as well as others. So
everyone's welcome at fifty five care see listener lunch put

(01:52:55):
down in the calendar. I had a local story. I
didn't get too many local stories this morning because a
phone call. But yesterday apparently co Ran Township trustees voted
to open a or to allow a dispensary to open
in coal Rane Township. They previously prohibited marijuana dispensaries. But
now they're going to have one. Apparently they're going to
get a cash payment annually of sixty thousand dollars I
believe anyway, Yeah, sixty thousand a year to the township

(01:53:19):
directly from the cannabis distributor FW Green Investments, LLC. So
in return for money, you're going to open a cannabis distributor, right,
whether you shop at one or not. The only reason
I used that as a springboard there was a new
report out and it's kind of frightening. Marijuana may not
be the safe thing that people are touting it to be,

(01:53:41):
according to the research. A review recently published in the
Annals of Internal Medicine. I think Joe Strucker is still
getting a hard copy of that. Examined studies conducted between
nineteen seventy seven and twenty twenty three which found that
high THHC products showed a consistent as uciations with increased
risk of psychosis and schizophrenia. The study involved more than

(01:54:06):
two hundred and twenty one thousand participants from fifteen countries.
And of course, the article in the reporting on this
goes on to note that, hey, back in the day,
your mother's and father's marijuana in the sixties through the
eighties typically had THHC content of about two to four
percent current average twenty percent, but it may not be
the twenty percent THCHC level as high as that is.

(01:54:28):
The problem is that, of course, it's it's like the
development of the poppy plant. First you make opium, and
then opium doesn't do it. Then you make heroin out
of it, you know, and then you go down that
road of concentration concentration. Now you have THC concentrations because
of production methods as high as seventy to ninety percent,

(01:54:49):
which is obviously off the Richter scale in terms of
THHD levels. And this appears to be where the problem is,
and it's for people who use cannabis recreationally. Now, you
may get some results in dealing with in treating anxiety
and to spread and depression for folks like if you
have cancer or other neurological conditions, but for recreational use,

(01:55:10):
they say the opposite effect was seen. It doesn't help.
It actually makes the problem worse. Fifty three percent of
the study link high THHC cannabis to increased anxiety and
forty one percent associated with depression. But the review also
highlights that people who frequently use high potency products were
more likely to develop cannabis use disorder, which apparently impacts

(01:55:34):
your mood, motivation, daily functioning. And evidence also suggests, based
upon the research, that you can become addicted to these
high level THCs. Used to be that the THHD wasn't
supposed to be physically addictive, is only a psychological addiction.
You wouldn't go through like a heroin, like withdraw. Apparently
if you're on the heavy stuff that may not be
the case anymore. But then there's the psychosis and schizophrenia

(01:55:56):
that goes along with it. So again, more information allows
for a more informed choice. Now you want to live
in an echo chamber where this isn't bad at all.
You're never going to struggle with any problems. It's good
for you. It's medicine. Live in that echo chamber. But
I recommend not, Like with tile and all, there's a
lot of information out there you might want to consider

(01:56:18):
before you well put it in your body. And isn't
it interesting Now we get a whole lot of research
coming out on THHC in marijuana because well, the effort
to decriminalize it allows the research to be done so
we can become more informed people. And isn't that the
important thing? Eight twenty five, fifty five k s DE
Talk Station.

Speaker 3 (01:56:38):
You know, coming up next, our guest wants to celebrate
National Punctuation Day and points out that it can be
a very big difference in this sentence, A woman without
her man is nothing. With punctuation, a woman without her
man is nothing. The judges next, Chuck ingbramon fifty five

(01:57:01):
KRC the Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (01:57:06):
Okay, okay, I know Judge Jenena Voltano every Wednesday at
this time on the fifty five KRCY Morning Show for
Constitutional Brilliance. Welcome back, my friend. It's always a pleasure
to have you on the program.

Speaker 10 (01:57:19):
Watch this punctuation marks, Brian Try.

Speaker 1 (01:57:25):
It's easy to pay attention to them when you're writing.
Although you know anyways, speech is what it is, free
form speech. And let us start with I know you
had to have seen it. Give me your column, which
is wonderful free speech and it's discontents. We the timing
couldn't be better on this one. Google actually admitted they
their lawyers in a letter to Jim Jordan and members

(01:57:46):
of Congress that they did In fact, at the behest
of the Biden administration dictated the what content could be
posted and specifically removed content related to COVID nineteen vaccines
mass mandates. Senator Rand Paul was the subject of one
of these bands on YouTube for his comments that we
find out were actually correct at the time that masks

(01:58:08):
don't work, so they were specifically identifying certain content, and
Google parent company Alphabet admitted that it capitulated to the
Biden administration's demands to censor our speech.

Speaker 10 (01:58:21):
So we start with basics. The First Amendment says Congress
shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Today
Congress means all government. So can the White House call
up Google? Can the Attorney General call up a book
publisher and say we don't like what people are saying
on your bulletin board Google, or we don't like what

(01:58:43):
your authors are putting in their books and we want
you to dial it back. Supreme Court has been very
very clear in this that the answer to that is no.
That the government cannot do indirectly, either by using a
carrot or a stick to a book publisher or to Google,
what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly. Abridging the

(01:59:06):
freedom of speech. I use the book publisher example because
that's the leading case. It's an old case, goes back
to nineteen sixty three, but the law has been consistent
since then that the government can't do that. Google's lawyers
obviously told Google to go along with the by deministration.
They know the law. All lawyers know the law. They

(01:59:28):
should have advised Zuckerberg and others tell the by deministration
to go take a hike, that they can't tell us
what to do. But instead they did it. And you're
quite correctly, not only suppressed people who were frivolously challenging

(01:59:49):
the prevailing views on vaccines. They suppressed scientific disagreements on
the vaccines, and they suppressed civil liberties like Senator Rand
Pall disagreements on the vaccine. Ran Pole is in a
unique position because he is a civil libertarian, he is

(02:00:10):
a member of the Senate, and he's a physician. He's
the last person that they should have suppressed, but they
went after him, and now we know that they were wrong.
So I said this morning on my early morning Newsmax hit,
maybe Jimmy Kimmel kerfuffle following the murder of Charlie Kirk

(02:00:33):
will have a happy outcome. Maybe it's time to revisit
the influences on the freedom of speech. Maybe this is
bigger than Jimmy Kimmel. Maybe this is not a coincidence
that Google made this statement yesterday, the same day that
Kimmel came back on air and doubled down on what
he said. I don't watch the show. I'm asleep at

(02:00:55):
that time. I probably don't agree with most of what
he says. But like Voltaire, I disagree with what you say,
but we'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Speaker 1 (02:01:04):
Amen that and I thought it rather comical. But people
running around screaming that the FCC or Donald Trump directly
was responsible for the termination of Jimmy Kimmel. He was
on television last night, So apparently that had no impact
if he had, if he had the belief that he
could control it.

Speaker 10 (02:01:19):
But more funny when you know the point I tried
to make in the column, and I thank you again
for raising it, Brian. It's so generous of you. It
comes out at midnight tonight, is that free speech doesn't
mean free of consequences because your employer can punish your speech.
In a private setting, a non government setting, but it

(02:01:43):
does mean free of the government. If the head of
the FCC had not weighed in and threatened ABC both
privately and publicly, there'd be no First Amendment issue here.
There is no First Amendment issue with ABC silencing its employee,
just like Fox silenced me, just like Newsmacks could silence me.

(02:02:04):
Hasn't happened yet, No, that one because the government's not involved.
It's when the government gets involved that it becomes a
First Amendment.

Speaker 1 (02:02:14):
Issue, Which takes us back to this revelation from Google.
They did capitulate to government demands. They did censor people's content.
Google as a private entity could do that all day long.
Once the government comes in and they capitulate to the
demands of government, doesn't that in prior case law I
think supports where I'm going on this. Doesn't that then,

(02:02:35):
because of the involvement the inextricably intertwined government with Google,
the private entity. Doesn't that turn Google into an entity
that must honor the First Amendment because the government involved
runs the rich.

Speaker 10 (02:02:47):
You know, here's the case law. This is another old
dog going back to the early sixties, involving a coffee
shop in a parking garage in Wilmington, Delaware. And the
closer the private actor Google is intertwined with the government,

(02:03:09):
the Biden administration, the more symbiotic the relationship for the
mutual benefit of both. Can cause the private actor to
become what's called a state actor and then their subject
to everything in the Bill of Rights. Now that state
action doctrine has fallen to the wayside because most states

(02:03:32):
have their own civil rights laws, so you don't have
to use the state action. Is Google a public accommodation?
That's the question. You know, these same conservative Republicans who
are now rejoicing that Google is acknowledging that it came
to the Biden administration and it was wrong and it's

(02:03:54):
going to undo what it did. They're the ones that
proposed legislation to force Google goal to to post certain materials. Well,
that's just as wrong as trying to prevent Google from posting.
Google's a private bulletim board. The government has nothing to
do with it.

Speaker 1 (02:04:11):
Right, You can't force an entity to speak much in
the same way you can't prevent one from speaking out
of the First Amendment jurisprudence. Now, this leads me to
the ultimate question because it was something that the specter
of which brought up by Federal Federalist CEO Sean Davis.
He said, Google owes us all damages for what their

(02:04:32):
censorship cost us. A quick We're sorry now that they're
in trouble. Isn't going to cut it. Their censorship cost
us millions? Is there a civil rights Who.

Speaker 10 (02:04:42):
Is this fellow who says he suffered millions and losses?

Speaker 1 (02:04:45):
Well, the federal It's a website, much in the way
Zero Hedge got removed from the content from YouTube that
was completely outright banned using.

Speaker 10 (02:04:56):
A similar surface stand this is a website that was
kick off and now erroneously. He probably does have a
cost of action. I mean Google is certainly has enough
cash to pay him a few million or whatever. He
can demonstrate a loss, and he should go for.

Speaker 1 (02:05:11):
It, right, But would not the government also be liable?

Speaker 10 (02:05:14):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:05:14):
I could sue the government for a violation of my
civil rights, like say, for example, of a federal officer
abuse me, kicked in my front door that a search warrant,
I'd have a cause of action in an otherwise free
of liability federal government. I do believe you can. Would
could the federal government for issuing these demands on Google
and forcing them to remove the conduct also be responsible
liable for a civil rights violation.

Speaker 10 (02:05:36):
I doubt it. I doubt it. The person that was
hard would have to show that the government was trying
to harm him, just like the guy that kicks in
your door is trying to destroy your house and trying
to harm you. It's a very high bar. I mean,
it might be worth suing the government, but I don't

(02:05:57):
think you'll get the first base. The government has made
it very, very difficult for the people that it harms
to seek compensation for those harms.

Speaker 1 (02:06:05):
Well, the only other component of this I want to
address before we part company today is the comments from
Representative James Clyburn, who is trying to make some sort
of distinction between what was then perceived to be the
FCCS firing Jimmy Kimmel and the removal by Google of
all this content related to con coronavirus, the vaccines as
well as mask mandates. He draws a distinction, so, well,

(02:06:26):
that's different because of the pandemic. In other words, you
can use the fur you can justify violating civil rights
and taking away a freedom of speech in pandemic times,
and I would think.

Speaker 10 (02:06:37):
This is the language of to talitarians, and it's used
on both sides. Yes, it's an emergency, so the Bill
of Rights doesn't apply. I mean I heard that from
Governor Murphy in New Jersey, who's pretty far on the
left wing of the Democratic Party, and we hear it
from the White House as well. Guess what, there's no

(02:06:57):
emergency exception to the of Rights that's been the law
since eighteen sixty six.

Speaker 1 (02:07:04):
And also we could go back to COVID and there's
no there's no emergency violation or no emergency suspension of
our freedom of right to assembly, an exercise of religion, correct,
correct judging, to own.

Speaker 10 (02:07:17):
My own face. The government can't tell me what to.

Speaker 8 (02:07:19):
Do with it.

Speaker 1 (02:07:21):
Well, if one thing that's become of all this, your honor,
we at least got a welcome civics lesson in the
area of First Amendment jurisprudence.

Speaker 10 (02:07:29):
I hope. So the pleasure, Brian, Thank you very much,
my dear friend. And watch that punctuation, because somebody is
looking over your shoulder.

Speaker 1 (02:07:38):
Talk next week, judge them fill the time. Thanks for
the time. Every week we'll look forward.

Speaker 10 (02:07:42):
To minute I got to tell you, we Yankee fans
who hate the Mets are rooting for the Cincinnati resident.
I know there's only five games left, but every morning
I look at those standings.

Speaker 1 (02:07:53):
It's like the power of prayer, your honor. We'll take
all the support we can get and we welcome it.
God bless you. So until next week, have a great one.
Eight forty three Right now fifty five KR Seed Talks
date a fifty one to fifty five kr CD talk
station tomorrow on the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Of course,
I heeart media aviation expert Jay Rattliff. Every Thursday at

(02:08:16):
eight thirty we hear from Jay. Love that segment. Daniel
Flynn will precede Jay Rattliffe beyond at seven thirty, author
of the book The Man Who Invented Conservatism, preceded by
the return of Congressman Warren Davidson. So Congressman Davidson for
a few segments. Can't wait to hear from him again.
Just a great, great guy, really great guy. And Hew,

(02:08:37):
you know, that's a profound admission by Google from its lawyers.
And I go back to the potential for civil rights
litigation because they did violate people's civil rights by removing
their First Amendment protected content at the best of government.
So we'll see what happens on that. But the timing
could have been better for this, given the swirling claims

(02:08:57):
among the Democrats the FCC was b used as a
weapon against ABC and Jimmy Kimmel, you know, threatening to
hold up their merger or whatever if they didn't cave
and capitulate to the Trump administration's demands. As I pointed
out to the judge, and obviously you can observe for yourself.
He was back on TV last night. So apparently Trump
had nothing to do with his firing unless he called
and told him to rehire him, and we all know

(02:09:19):
that didn't happen. But it does illustrate the potential power
of the sec right, big government bureaucracy that has the ability,
maybe on even a whim, to remove your license and
ruin you financially. So that's a real power they've got, hmm.
Copany in this announcement from their lawyers said the Biden

(02:09:41):
administration and AIDS created a political atmosphere that sought to
influence the actions of platforms based on their concerns regarding
misinformation telling you what to do. And of course they
capitulated why because the government has a tremendous amount of
control over of course Google's out operations, as well as
every other business. Remember the DOJ and operation chokehold Eric

(02:10:04):
Holder telling businesses too, are telling banks not to do
business with like firearms manufacturers, payday lenders, and other evil
businesses legal though they were, don't do business with them,
or we the federal government will I don't know, maybe
unleash a compliance audit on you bank? Are you up
to speed dotting all your eyes and crossing all your

(02:10:24):
t's when it comes to the onerous regulatory structure that
we have created that you're supposed to follow closely. Do
you have the lawyers, the money and resources to and
everything else you're gonna need to deal with a compliance audit?
Ask hospitals about compliance audits? Lowest learners irs. She wielded

(02:10:46):
a lot of power. Hmmm. A lot of organizations out
there had their five oh one C three status requests denied?
Why because they were right wing conservative organizations. That's a
lot of power and I think the only reason the
Google lawyers made this admission as clear and concise and

(02:11:07):
as direct as it is Congressman Jim Jordan who has
been at this for a long time. He had subpoenas
out into the world, probably had him ask a bulletproof
pile of documents which confirmed that, yes, indeed, the Biden
administration was telling these social media companies what they could
and could not post. And what do we remember about
that period of time during the Biden administration. We all
said this was happening. They denied it. They denied it

(02:11:30):
outright over and over again. So another lie revealed amidst
the subject matter of the underlying bands, which was all
the comments. For example ran Paul's comments that masks don't
do anything. Back then, that was ver boden. You couldn't

(02:11:51):
say that you need to wear a mask, you must
wear a mask at all times. Humh. And when he
said it, people all criticize them. Don't listen to that.
That's ridiculous. You need to wear a mask as to
protect everybody else while no, no, no, And we learned
over time that yes, in fact, Senator ran Paul was correct,

(02:12:11):
as well as all the others who pointed out that
scientifically provable at the time reality we're being lied to
trust in government. I think has fallen quite a few
notches as a consequence of just that one unique period

(02:12:32):
of time. We went through with COVID nineteen quite revealing
tomorrow again Jay Raydliffe among others, and Congressman Davidson, I
hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you Danny Gleeson
