Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Five o five. If it'd be on a seat the
talk station sue, that'd be Friday. Suit there are It

(00:30):
is definitely Friday. It's confirmed by the yuh woo who
nothing you needed to be reminded of that, although I
needed to be reminded of it. This morning. The alarm
goes off at two thirty, and I got the second
alarm that goes off at two forty, and I don't know.
I guess I was asleep and I turned both of
them off. It was twenty minutes after three. My wife

(00:52):
hits me, she said, you need to get up, Like,
holy crap, I really thought it was Saturday. I don't
where I came up with that conclusion anyhow, So I
got an extra forty minutes to sleep this morning, but
of course I had to hurriedly get into work and
try to catch up with what's going on in the world.
And you know, that's like every other day. There's so

(01:14):
much going on in the world. I'll never get to
address all of it here on the fifty five Krsy
Morning Show, which is why I always invite phone calls.
Maybe this is a particular topic matter that you want
to talk about, feel free to bring it up five
point three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
eighty two three Talk found five fifty on AT and
T phones. Great day on the Morning Show yesterday. Of
course I always enjoyed talking to Jay Rattleff about aviation issues.

(01:36):
But Todd Zenzer was on fire yesterday, our citizen watchdog,
former Inspector General Todd Zenser a brilliant, brilliant man, I
mean demonstrably brilliant, and he spends a lot of time
paying attention to what's going on out front as well
as behind the scenes in the City of Cincinnati. Antics
and what I always like to call shenanigans of the

(01:57):
mayor and City council members. And of course I'm sure
the High Park residents are getting a full a dose
to that, considering the City Council denied the wishes of
the High Park residents and move forward with shoving down
a variance on the Connected Communities zoning laws that were

(02:19):
shoved down the throats of all the various community councils
within the City of Cincinnati previously by city councils. So
they change everybody's freedom to choose their own destiny in
the various neighborhoods, and then well they offer a variance
for some well connected developers in spite of the fact
that it seems that the vast majority of High Park
residents didn't want the development to move forward m anyway.

(02:44):
Just one of many topics with Todd Zinzer also the
green agenda that the City of council City Council is
just really I mean full in on. And you see
the realities of the of the money when you hear
about you hear Todd talking about this federal mon that
comes in and hopefully it'll dry up now that we've
got the Trump administration, but millions and millions of dollars

(03:05):
which the city then gets to hand out to a
whole lot of outside ie non governmental organizations to spend
on so called green projects around the various neighborhoods. And
Todd says, I don't know that they have really done anything.
You got like forty five million dollars annually coming in
and it just mysteriously goes out into the world. How

(03:29):
does one get one's hands on that money? I guess
you have to be fog friends of government, friends of
the mayor, perhaps friends of council members. I mean, he
was kind of it's a puzzling mystery as to where
the money goes, how the money's allocated, and who's getting it.
There's no transparency in any of that. And this is
the kind of thing that Todd Zenzer reveals, and when

(03:50):
you hear it, you know, your mouth falls open and
almost disbelief. But that's what happens. I mean, it's kind
of like looking at what Doges reveals in in the
Trump administration. Wait a second, what we're funding what yesterday
I was reading those stories or the studies that got defunded.

(04:11):
I don't even know what the funding was for. You
read what they are funding or what you and I
actually are paying to fund. Someone decided to provide the
money and grant the money to do the various studies.
But when you look at what the studies for, you
can't even figure out what the hell the studies for.
It makes no sense. Somebody's being supported out in the

(04:33):
world with it, though, friends of government, speaking of maybe
city council a new direction today, Corey Bowman, he's going
to join the program at seven and five, right after
Dave had her. Of course, it's Friday. I don't want
to overlook Dave and skip to Corey Bowman. But his
name did jump out considering I was talking about Todd's
ensor yesterday fifty five KRSE dot com for that todds

(04:55):
Enzer discussion. It was in studio for a full hour.
It's well worth the listen. I mean, I even arguing
for those who do not live in the city of Cincinnati,
if you're in the Tri State area, the city does
really impact the entire Tri State area, so it is
important to pay attention to what they're doing. But for
you know, people who want to observe just you know,

(05:16):
the shenanigans and antics of government and how well they
do not serve us. City of Cincinnati provides a wonderful illustration,
as evidenced by what Todd Zenser was pointing about yesterday.
It could be your city doing the same thing. Is
anyone paying attention? Do you have a Todd Zinzer in
your city? More people should, More people should have an

(05:40):
inspector general for those cities, allocation of tax payer dollars
anyhow So, tech fart of to day've had to today.
Iranian hackers attacking water and gas systems. Fake Ohio toll
messages are on the rise. I even got one of those.
You get a message saying that you owe like you
didn't pay a toll. You're getting a bill for a toll.

(06:01):
Just delete it, Just delete it, ignore it, don't take
it seriously. And we'll hear from Dave about that. But
I even I got one of those. Microsoft's new artificial
intelligence tool called a privacy nightmare. Oh good. Those the
topics with Dave after Corey Bowman at seven oh five,
we'll here at seven thirty from Hartford Seniors. Patty Scott

(06:23):
returns with that wonderful charity helping seniors in assisted living facilities.
We'll stay out of well trouble medically speaking, and making
it much easier for the staff at those facilities to
deal with the immediate needs of seniors as opposed to
just sort of rotating around the various rooms and checking
on whether or not they need their diapers changed. It's

(06:45):
a disgusting conversation, but it's actually so very important, and
they came up with this wonderful solution for it, ultimately
very very affordable, keeping seniors out of misery. If you
have a loved one in a senior care facility, this
is an organization you need to embrace. Eight oh five
Former Air Force Colonel Josh McConkie's got a book be

(07:08):
the weight behind the spear. We'll talk with the colonel
at eight oh five Fallow by Brett Metters, a living
kidney donor and Kidney Walk committee member. We'll be talking
about the twenty twenty five Kidney Walk. And finally Shrry
Poland from the Board of Elections. They need poll workers.

(07:28):
Early vote voting is going on and we'll find out
about voter turnout projections with Shrry Poland at age forty
not I really really because it wasn't quite sure where
to start, but let me just start with this one.
And I was thinking about the Supreme Court argument earlier
this week on parents wanting to just remove their children

(07:48):
from the classroom when sensitive perhaps issues that run a
foul of one's personal moral convictions or religion are discussed
in and indoctrinated into our our children's education system. That's
what public schools do. And in that particular case, it
was you know, these really I find troubling and disturbing
books that they're giving to kindergardeners up through fifth graders

(08:12):
that discuss sexual issues, sexuality as well as issues of transgenderism.
Men marrying men, women marrying women. I don't care about that.
You want to do that in your world, knock yourself out.
But to discuss those matters in front of children requires
a discussion of sex. Yes, the act of sex. What

(08:33):
is it to be a gay man? It means well,
that you are in love with men, you are attracted
to men sexually speaking. It requires a disturbing discussion that
a kindergartener probably quite can't fathom. And as a parent,
thankfully my children are adults now. I don't have to
deal with this and didn't have to deal with it
when they were in public schools. But you out there,

(08:55):
if you've got a kindergartener, they may very well, very
well be having a discussion about this kind of stuff
with your kindergarteners. I find it to be an act
of grooming children become inquisitive. What exactly are we talking
about here? What is sex? What does it mean to
be a gay man as opposed to a heterosexual man. Well,

(09:18):
if you're an adult, you can do the math on
that one, and it doesn't take much to reduce it
down to putting yourself in the place of a kindergartener
who has no concept of human sexual relations. But there
you are talking about it, bringing it up, and perhaps
providing a vehicle for some pervert to I don't know,

(09:41):
maybe engage in further discussion after school hours when you're
not around and they have some measure of control over
your child, perhaps the twisted uncle that has taken care
of your preteen children. Use your imagination. It's not difficult.
All the parents wanted to do. They didn't want to
change the curriculum. They didn't want to tell teachers they

(10:02):
couldn't present them material to the class. They just wanted
advanced notice so they could get their kids out of
the class so they weren't twisted and perverted by the
indoctrination session that was going on. And if you listen
to the oral arguments on it, it was most notably indoctrination.
Teachers were instructed to bring these books up like five
times a year, most notably like during gay Pride month

(10:23):
or Pride month or whatever. Talk about them a lot,
and that may run a foul of your religious perception
or even just your simple concern over your children having
very sensitive sexually related topics brought up to your young
children who don't have any way of sort of understanding it.

(10:52):
But one of the justices, one of the liberal justices,
I can't remember which ones, sort of made the argument
for school choice and with that, judge in New Hampshire
yesterday blocked the Trump administration from cutting funding the public
schools that maintain diversity programs the DEIVE crackdown. Federal money
comes with strings attached, and I'm sure at some point

(11:12):
might be under the Biden administration or maybe even the
Obama administration, they mandated the requirement that they bring in
DEI into the public schools, Diversity equity inclusion federal dollars,
if you're accepting them, you must have a DEI program.
I'm sure that there was some mandate, edict or whatever
associated with accepting federal dollars under Title I funding. Well,

(11:35):
the Trump administration comes in and says, well, if you're
going to accept Title one funding, you're not allowed to
engage in discussions they're teaching a DEI. However, US District
Judge Landia McCafferty said the effort by the Trump Education
Department to block federal funding to public schools that continue
to promote diversity equity and inclusion programs likely violates the

(11:57):
First Amendment, calling it a textbook viewpoint discrimination. It issue
was a memo sent by the AD Department this month
to public schools nationwide, threatening withhold Title I funds from
public schools that continue to unfairly promote DEI views or programs.

(12:19):
Of course, the lawsuits followed after that. Across the country.
A whole bunch of groups filed citing the importance of
Title I funds as a critical source of funding for
many low income public schools. Right, okay, how come the
Trump administration can have strings attached to the federal money
that comes into your low income public school when the

(12:43):
original federal money came with strings attached that required you
to do DEI. New administration, new rules, new laws, new
strings attached before you had to do it, and now
you can't do it. Judge says, no, this ultimately will
probably end up with the Supreme Court. But more fundamental
than that, it's the idea that this is why I
love school choice. If you don't believe in DEI and
don't want your children indoctrinated, you rather have your children

(13:06):
learn mathematics and core reading skills, critical thinking skills, rather
than spending time on DEI in the advancement of that
woke ideology. You might want to move your kids out
of the public school. And I love how they citeen
low income public schools, because who's least equipped to have

(13:27):
the flexibility and move their kids out of the indoctrination camp.
Of course it will be low income families. They're stuck.
They're stuck unless the dollars follow the children. And if
the dollars follow the children and the families have the
flexibility and can allocate those dollars into some different alternative
education system, then let them do it and allow them

(13:51):
to make the choice to keep their kids out of
the public school in doctrination camps. Why not, well, I suppose,
because that would ruin their ability to indoctrinate your children
along the lines that they see fit. See, this is
religion without religion. This is religion without spirituality, without a
higher power connected the DEI programs, all this nonsense, this

(14:14):
woke ideology. And I would argue, most notably, even this
whole climate change stuff is religion. It's just religion without
belief or connection to a higher power. Er go, they
can shove it down your throat without running a foul
of the First Amendment. It's still religion. Five nineteen fifty

(14:39):
five KRC Detalk Station five point thirty seven four nine
fifty eight hundred eight two three talk. Feel free to
call take us in a different direction. I don't mind,
most notably because it's Friday. I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Chenera nine First Warning weather forecasts. Showers and storms are
likely later this afternoon. Downpours are likely. They note overcast
day with the highest seventy two down to fifty three,
overnight rain ending toward about midnight. It'll be a mostly
too partly cloudy day Tomorrow, highest sixty five Saturday night,

(15:18):
a few clouds and a little forty three Sunday mostly
Sunday pleasant, gorgeous day. Exclamation point. It says, right there,
seventy degrees for a high on Sunday. Let's see right
now it is what does my temperature continue to disappear?
Sixty four degrees at five car se E Talk station.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I'm Donald Jane Trump can improve this message.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
It is five twenty two f five Garrisee de Talk station.
I thought of you the other day, Joe, I heard
killed by death.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Tell you.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
That fans. Now, it's just the name of that song.
It's hilarious. Killed by Death, Yeah, no kidding. Five one, three, seven, nine,
eight hundred eight two to three dog pat fight fifty
on eighteen defounds. Oh boohoo. The Democrats are, you know,

(16:18):
screaming law fair, law, air weaponization of the Justice Department.
How many years we lived through this when the Democrats
are doing it against Donald Trump or contained Attorney General
Letitia James just running on a platform of looking into
everything Trump did in his life in an effort to
find something criminal. That is not what justice is about. Anyway.

(16:38):
President Trump yesterday directed the Justice Department to investigate the
main fundraising platform used by the Democrats, Act Blue. Of course,
Democrats are responded with accusations of weaponizing the government against
his political opponents. Anyway. Trump's on a memorandum instructing Attorney

(16:59):
General pan Bonding to probe supposed foreign and other illicit
payments the platforms like Act Blue, as well as others
that are used by Democrats to process donations for election campaigns,
said he wanted the probe to look at the use
of fundraising platforms to make straw or dummy contributions and
to make foreign contributions to the US political candidates and committees,

(17:22):
all of which break the law, and they do. You
can't do that. My response to their screams and wailing
and nashing untie the weaponization is well, wait a second,
if your hands are clean, isn't the best defense to say,
all right, bring it on. Here's my metaphorical middle finger

(17:45):
raised at your weaponization of government. But we don't do
anything like that, and we can show you with the
records disclosure that we don't accept foreign contributions and we
don't allow this kind of activity to go on. This
is might, you know, sort of methinks the lady doth
protest too much. So I realize they're entitled to whale

(18:08):
and nash teeth and scream about this. It's all politics,
at all politics. But you know, this kind of concern
has been going along, going around for a long time.
I mean, even Elon Musk love him or hated, He's
made out loud statements about this Act Blue organization for
quite some time. Straw donations, donors giving money in other

(18:30):
people's names, and foreign contributions to federal political candidates and
political action committees are against US law. So I would
agree that there should be some accountability on this. But
you know what if Act Blues hands are clean and
they're not accepting foreign contributions and they're not allowing people
to give money in other people's names. So this is
what happens. You get a guy like George Soros. I'll

(18:52):
use him as the evil villain because he's always behind
the curtain, isn't he. He's got billions of dollars and
he wants that money to go to any particular, given
case campaign. But those campaigns have limitations on what any
individual can donate, usually a fairly low dollar cap. So
if you distribute your money to a bunch of random
individuals and instruct them to make the campaign contributions gee

(19:16):
and send it through Act Blue, it makes it look
like a bunch of random individuals, you know, like, oh,
here's ten dollars, here's one hundred dollars, here's one thousand dollars.
You know, we're scrimping and saving so we can get
this guy elected, when in fact they haven't script and
saved it all. It's not their money. It's one person
or one organization contributing to campaigns and exceeding the lawful

(19:39):
campaign cap and they use these organizations, these entities to
get it accomplished. So Act Blue, open your books up,
prove it's not true, and embarrass the Trump administration. Wouldn't
that be a wonderful thing for ActBlue to be able
to do if they're not doing this? Yeah, screw you guys,
bring it, but that's not going to happen, is it.

(20:07):
Five twenty six Come to a five twenty seven fifty
five krc DE talk station. Lawn equipment. You know, I
got in under the wire yesterday, got the grass cut,
fired up my Honda Professional level walk behind powered mower

(20:29):
The grass was long. I hope you're able to get
your grass cut. If you have grass, I hope you
got a cut. And if you need a mower, you
need maybe a small riding tractor, or maybe you've got

(22:25):
Listen to lunch Sounder Westchester location Sounder Brewery of the
Westchester location. That'll be on the seventh, not next Wednesday.
The following Wednesday, always eleven thirty. I have always people
ask I regularly mention it's there's no the official start time.
I suppose officials eleven thirty, but you don't have to
show up at eleven thirty. Ever since I've been doing

(22:46):
listener lunches, I got people who show up at like eleven.
Just make sure that the place we're going to be
dining opens at eleven. Sometimes places don't open until eleven thirty,
but you can show up later too. If that happened,
all the time people show up you're like twelve or
twelve thirty, it's like, where have you been?

Speaker 3 (23:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
I got here late I had something going on, a
big deal. I'm usually hanging around there from at least
until one point thirty, especially on those days when my
submarine or friend Cribbage might comes in because we always
end the day with a cribbage game, sometimes taking me
there as late as too, So feel free to join
the fun. It is great fellowship and it is not
about me. It's always about the fellowship, getting out of

(23:25):
the house, supporting a local restaurant let and having fun,
especially in springtime, but throughout the year you may even
meet some friends. It'll become long term friends. And that's
the biggest joy that I get out of listener lunch.
You got tables of people that always sit together you
friendships are created and friendships that extend beyond listener lunch.

(23:45):
It's been a beautiful thing to behold over the local stories,
FBI Cincinnati agents arrested two men, one of whom the
agency says as they suspected MS thirteen gang member, one
of for homicide in his home country. Men arrested are
here illegally courted the FBI. Federal officials have not released
the names of the men arrested. Spokesperson with the FBI

(24:06):
Cincinnati said, thirty three year old Salvadorian or Salvador rather,
apologies to my Salvadorian friends. Salvador Hernandez Solooronzo arrested April
twenty seconds. According to the statement from the FBI spokesperson,
Hernandez is an illegal alien from l Salvador who was
wanted in his home country on murder charges as a

(24:26):
member of the designated foreign terrorist organization MS thirteen. ICE
remains committed to working with our DOJ partners from the FBI, DEA,
and ATF to enhance public safety across Michigan and Ohio.
Hernandez remains in ICE custody of the Butler County Jail
pending immigration proceedings. Hey, Joe, you think the Democrats are
going to stand out in protest the Buttler outside the

(24:47):
Butler County Jail free Hernandez Aftab, Yeah, maybe he'll be there.
Joe suggested that as Aftab should welcome him into his home. Yeah,
I know. I got a follow up on that, judge.
Apparently they've been arrested. If you're scratching your head, wonder
what the hell I'm talking about. Maybe we can get
to that a little bit. FBI did not say whether

(25:13):
the men lived in the Tri State area, although that's
where they were arrested. Since I police say they're investigating
after two men and a teenager were shot, including one
in a vehicle that crashed into city park. Officers responded
to Mount Echo Park in East Price Hill eight twenty Wednesday.
I talked about this one the other day. I discovered
a sixteen year old was shot in the leg. Officers
had to apply attorneyquet to control the bleeding until the

(25:34):
fire department showed up shortly after. At eight forty pm,
Police at the University since a medical center, requested additional
officers respond because two shooting victims, both aged twenty seven,
showed up and a large crowd gathered. According to Captain
Bauer Police Department, one of the men also shot in
the leg, the other one shot in his arm and buttocks.

(25:57):
All three recovering at the hospital with non life threatening injury.
Police say early Thursday that they were still investigating the
motive and what led up to the shooting. No arrest
have been made, No suspect information was made available at
least as of yesterday. Jeez five point thirty five fifty

(26:17):
at Foreign Exchange, they've been fixing and repairing and servicing.
Our automobiles are imported automobiles and that's what we own.
Say what you like about it, and laugh at me
for buying a German car. My wife's got a German
car too, And yeah, the oil changes are expensive if
you go to the dealer. Most notably, my favorite illustration
is my own four hundred and fifty bucks for an
oil change, and it's only two hundred change over at

(26:40):
Foreign Exchange, so you see savings of two hundred dollars.
That's the point of Foreign Exchange SE Certified Master technician
working on your car, same oil, same filter, a lot
less money. Go ahead, ask yourself why they charge so
much of the dealership. I have no idea. Maybe because
they think people believe that the dealer is the only
place you can have your car service. But no, no, no,

(27:00):
Foreign Exchange SE certified Master Technicians. They have access to
your manufacturers technical information, whether your car is from Europe

Can you play John the Fisherman?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
It is five forty five forty one. It is Friday,
So the answer, of course is always a yes. And
as always, Jeffrey, my Facebook friend was ready for it
and looking forward to it. The base rift stack a

(29:16):
nupid or call five one three, seven, four nine eight
two three talk it must be Friday look headline. Naked
man rested at Planet Fitness Amen brother uh Man charge
after he allegedly took off his clothes at the front
desk of a Planet Fitness and then began exercising naked.

(29:45):
Uh No, no kidding, Joe. He was over in the
weight department doing clean and jerk phrasing. Told police he
thought the jim was a judgment free zone. Eric Stango,

(30:06):
thirty four years old, arrested without incident in charge with
indecent exposure, lootous and disorderly conduct after police responded to
the crowded Jim in Playestyle, New Hampshire. According to the
reporting by The Boston Globe, when officers arrived, they found
him there completely nude on his knees in a yoga
type position, walked into the gym, stripped down at the door,

(30:27):
then proceeded to walk back and forth a couple of
times before sitting, settling in on one of the yoga mats.
Witnesses he saw Stagno's naked exercises reported feeling disgusted. These
words are in quotes sick and also unsafe, according to
police Captain Brett Morgan, who took the statements. Morgan told

(30:51):
the local news the only statement that he made was
that he thought it was a judgment free zone, apparently
referencing the chain's slogan released on a thousand dollars l
DO back in court May twenty first, just that they
burned the yoga mat. Yeah, I imagine that probably true.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Now, who can argue with that?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Oh, this is ridiculous. Texas School District bans, Virginia state
flags and seal over naked breast, idiots doing idiot things
because they're idiots. Virginia state flag and seal depicting the
Roman goddess Virtus standing over a slain tyrant, her drooping

(31:39):
toga exposing her left breast, and it's cartoon. This isn't
an actual photograph of the Roman goddess, notably because goddesses
are otherworldly beings. Most people don't believe in them anymore,
and there wasn't any photographs around at the time people
believed in the Roman goddess Virtus. It's been banned from

(32:05):
a younger students in a Texas school district. Lamar School District,
consolidated independent schools near Houston took action against the image
late last year when we removed the section about Virginia
from its online learning platform used by third through fifth graders.
Texas Freedom to Reproject, a group that opposes censorship and
book bands in the States, said it had unlocked a

(32:25):
new level of dystopian book banning and censorship hell in
Texas when it discovered students that Lamar can no longer
learn about the state of Virginia in their online research database.
You know, normally inclined to disagree with these gidiots, but
they got a good point on this, one group said,
after it fought a public records request, the school district
acknowledged that Virginia had indeed been removed from the website

(32:48):
due to lesson violating the school board's local library policy
banning any quote, visual depictions or illustrations of frontal nudity
close quote in elementary school library. According to the reporting
here from the Guardian, the Commonwealth of Virginia flag is
periodically thrust to the national spotlight, and in twenty ten

(33:10):
was part was part a debate about what constitutes sexually
explicit material in the state school libraries. Then State Attorney
General Ken Kuchinelli created a special lapel PIM that edited
the seal to cover the breast. But he just cut

a some pump problem called plumb tight. You got water
pressure problems called plumb tight. You got clog drains, leaky pipes,
your chandeliers raining, and you don't know why. Call plumb tight.

(34:38):
They'll fix it. And I can vouch for that. Last one.
Tankless water heaters. They are the Tri States number one
installer for tankless water heaters, which I learned from plumb Tight.
They have a longer lifespan. They on average ask more
than last more than twenty years these tankles compared to
like ten maybe fifteen years for traditional tanks. And you
save money and you never run out of hot water.

of course, that just means that there's another naked story here.

(36:30):
Man in custody after trespassing at Disneyland and yes, roaming
around naked incident. Why are you doing this? Listen? I
bet we don't find out. Incident happened Saturday at the
park's New Orleans Square. Workers tried to steer visitors away
from the disturbing site as the man climbed one of
the buildings, exposing himself to people below. The visual in

(36:55):
my head on that one is bothering me. Arrested shortly
after for trespassing public nunity and being under the influence
of narcotics. Local news reached out to Disneyland for a statement.
They deferred to the Anaheim Police, who had made the rest.
Agency said the man, who had not been identified, lives
in Canada. Well that also answers the question, Joe, no

(37:20):
reports from anyone being injured in the incident. How many
people in the listening audience will get that joke? Joe,
Joe says three. His statement was he with a pengulon.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
It.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Gotta be a diehard South Park fan to figure that
one out. South Florida man accused of stealing his coworker's
cell phone and then sending nude pictures and videos from
the woman's phone to himself. Twenty five year old Benjamin
Alvarez covered his face and ignored local news questions when
he founded out of the Miami Day Jail on Wednesday

(38:09):
night after being released hours before. He quietly stood before
a judge facing a long list of charges including grand theft,
resisting an officer without violence, and sexual cyber harassment. Incident
happened back in July at Starbucks and doesn't matter where.
You don't care about what location anyway. Victim, who works
at the coffee shop, told police she left her cell

(38:30):
phone charging in the back office that night, and at
some point the victim noticed her phone was missing, then
questioned Alvarez about it after coworkers told her that he
had a habit of stealing their phones and sending himself
their information. When the woman checked her phone, several messages
had been deleted. She told police those messages contained the

(38:53):
nude photos and videos. She then called the police. Officer
showed up at Alvarez's home in Miami, where they said
he tried to run away from the officers who were
at the front door. Suspect continued to resist officers when
they got him outside, cuffed him, and then took him
into custody.

Speaker 8 (39:08):
How's this tradition?

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Starbucks statement? This individual is a former partner and is
no longer employed by Starbucks. Their actions are not consistent
with starbucks high standards of conduct. In court, did judge
older Alvarez to stay away from the victim and the business?
Please say? The suspect allegedly did this with multiple employees.
Now question why why do you have nude photos and

(39:39):
videos of yourself on your cell phone? How is it
that Alvarez was able to unlock and get access to
the contents of the cell phone? How did you a
good question, Joe? How did he know they were there?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Well?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
I guess he had a habit of going around and
stealing cell phones and breaking in either people in Florida
do not use passwords or the you know, the thumb
print kind of thing, or maybe he you know, looks
over their shoulder while they're unlocking their phone. I don't know.
This one's filled with question marks that I don't even
think Dave Hatter can answer. But fundamentally, and I think

(40:17):
it's most important here to emphasize, as I have many
ties before, don't take pictures of yourself naked or having
sex with someone.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Okay, now, who can argue with that?

Speaker 1 (40:27):
It's the Internet, it's out there, the cloud. They back
up your phone all the time. You can't get it back.
Someone's going to break into it. And why do you
need to document nudity and sexual activity? Just like open
up a can of worms and ask him for all
kinds of problems. It may end up in the stack

(40:48):
of stupid. I just say, no, honey, how about we've
no just no, no, no, Just keep it in your memory.

Reminding you for the five carrisee dot com. It's place
to get the podcast and you can't listen live, very
important podcast. I just can't get over my conversation here.
I stay with Todd Zenzer and all the crap that
goes on since I City Council. They don't care wit

(41:39):
about the constituents, not a whit. It's all about money
and uh pursuing green agendas and well, telling people that
they can't have any control over their own neighborhood destiny
destiny like for example, Hyde Park and the zoning laws.
It's just it's just disturbing. I really really was disturbed.
I it's the best way to some up hearing what

(42:01):
Todd Zinser had to say about that. We're lucky you
got to Todd z Endser in our area. We really
are lucky to have him around. Everyone needs a todds
Enser former Inspector General. He knows what to look for
and where to look for it, and he can certainly
ferret out problems and fraud, waste and abuse and what
I like to call shenanigans. And yesterday was in great
hour conversation and it was disturbing. So what else is

(42:25):
going on? And thanks to everybody who supported the Parkinson's Group.
Had more en on the radio yesterday talking about their
event that's coming up this Saturday. And Bob Wedder, who
is a big supporter of the Parkinson's Group Support Group,
said that the show did a lot. They had the
biggest they sold out. The event has sold out. The

(42:48):
original plan was two hundred and fifty people, and after
she was on the morning show and spread the word
on it, they got two hundred and eighty five folks
showing up. And he wanted to thank the listeners and
so that's why I'm passing it theong to you appreciate
your support and it's a wonderful organization and you were
one of your loved ones dealing with Parkinson's. It's a
great program to provide you with benefits and emotional support

(43:12):
as well as events and activities. Because apparently exercise is
critical when dealing with Parkinson's, and so there's opportunities for
you to get together with others struggling with Parkinson's and
share your experiences as well as get you motivated to
get off your button, get out and exercise. Coming up
Tech Friday, we're gonna talk about Iranian hackers attacking water
and gas systems, so we can add the Iranians to

(43:33):
the Chinese Communist Party. Fake Ohio toll messages, which I
have been not a victim of because I know, I
know BS when I see it on my cellphone. Delete
that one. If you get a text message about tolls,
just delete it, just delete it. I'm sure that's what
the boiling of the Boildown segment with Dave on that

(43:53):
one will be. Finally, Microsoft's new AI tool is called
a Privacy Nightmare. Fast forward one hour. We're gonna hear
from Corey Boone and who's probably got a lot of
support from my friends in Hyde Park and they should
support him. Corey Bowman would allow you the right to
self determination in terms of how big your buildings are
and not have since a city council shoving well connected
developers down your throats. He's on record on that one.

(44:15):
We'll talk about that and a lot more with Corey Bowman.
At seven oh five, we're gonna hear from Hartford Seniors.
Patty Scott returns of the program. Wonderful organization that one.
Former Air Force Colonel Josh McConkie joins the program at
eight oh five talk about his book, Be The Weight
Behind the Spear. Living donor and Kidney Walk committee member
Brett Matters. He's going to join us at eight point

(44:37):
thirty to talk about the twenty twenty five kidney Walk.
And then Sherry Polland from the Hemilt County Board of
Elections on the need for poll workers. Early voting is
going on and we'll get voter turnout projections. Sherry Poland,
remember you got issue too to vote on. I'm a
strong no on that one. And what I describe as
a Joseph Mengela like, this is what we're doing to

(44:59):
our chill in this really I go back to the
word disturbed. I bring this up only because I just
it's an illustration of how sickening doctors and in this
particular case, corporations have become when it comes to gender
fluidity and transformation anybody who listens to the Morning Show

(45:20):
knows that I do not believe you can change your gender.
I do believe there are people out there that believe
there are another gender and I can live peacefully side
by side. But you're not going to tell me that
anyone can change your gender. We don't know how and
probably never will be able to modify chromosomal reality. If
you go through the surgical challenge and changes, you might

(45:41):
want to read up on that, because it's probably not
going to feel like and it's probably going to be
a little bit of a struggle to deal with the
post surgical realities of the newly created genitalia. But Nike
apparently is funding a study, a study five year corporate

(46:07):
back by Nike study examining how puberty blockers and hormone
therapy affect the athletic performance in transgender identifying children. The
goal is to see if medically transitioning boys early enough
could close the performance gap between males and females and
sports ponder that for a moment, certainly this is without

(46:35):
admitting it out loud. It's a recognition and an admission
that men have an advantage over women. Why else would
you perform the study on children. I mean, you know,
maybe the very existence of this study should close the
discussion and debate on whether men can beat women traditionally

(46:58):
and across the board in sports. Maybe it should serve
as an illustration of why men shouldn't be able to create, participate,
or compete against women in sports, even if they do
identify as a woman. Twenty five In the United States
of America, this is going on. Josef Mengel would probably

(47:19):
be smiling over this. Two leading physicians that you may
have heard of, doctor Mark Siegel and another doctor, doctor
Nicole Safire. This is reported in oh I can't remember
which article which site got this now. While they do
support compassion for those folks or struggling with gender dysphoria,

(47:42):
they're concerned about the medical risk also the ethical red flags,
which is where I'm coming from on this, as well
as ideological bias that's driving the interventions. They explain the
athletic advantages for males likely wouldn't be erased first off
by hormone therapy, no matter how early in life the
treatments are. A minister doctor Siegel pointing out that have
more testone or testosterone than females even in utero, which

(48:05):
is a long time before puberty starts, which affects the
development in ways hormone suppression may never reverse OutKick is
the website. Doctor Siegel in an interview without Kick, I
would still be concerned about a competitive advantage in people
that are born male, even if they transition over to female.
And I wrote a question mark after that, because almost

(48:27):
he's almost admitting that you can transition over to female
anyway because of skeletal type, because of blood type. I
would be very expecting that a competitive advantage would be retained.
Doctor Safier, for her part, so she feels deeply concerned
by reports that Nike's helping fund to study on adolescent

(48:50):
children using hormone blockers amen quote. The potential physical and
mental health risk of these interventions, especially in young developing bodies,
cannot be overstated. Puberty is a critical window for growth,
bone density, and emotional maturation, and altering it with hormone
blockers can lead to irreversible consequences ranging from weakned skeletal

(49:13):
health and infertility to heightened anxiety and depression. I'm concerned
about the long term side effects of puberty blockers, especially
when joined with gender affirming hormones in terms of fertility,
bone growth, and mental health, said doctor Siegel, basically concurring
with the opinions of doctor Saffier. And then they point out,

(49:38):
what about reversibility, because you know what, sometimes these so
called gender dystoric individuals change their mind, and if you
look forth, there's a whole bunch of articles out there
about people who've already gone through this whole surgical reassignment
process only to live with profound regret. When I asked

(50:00):
of these treatments are truly reversible, doctor Siegel said, I
don't know the answer to that. Nobody knows the answer
to that. He said, some of the effects may be reversible,
but not all. Notably quote clearly, a mass sectomy is irreversible,
and this hurts to even read the word castration. Mas

(50:24):
sectomies are irreversible. But as far as puberty blockers themselves,
that's unknown. Puberty blockers are usually accompanied by gender affirming hormones,
and the together that could be a big problem for fertility.
And then the ethical point that I hang my hat
on the idea of informed consent. Do children understand the

(50:47):
lifelong implications of this so called medical transition. Doctor Siegel quote,
how does somebody make an informed decision in childhood? I
think over the age of eighteen, for sure, is informed consent, because,
of course we have an age, we have an age
of adult. You're an adult at eighteen, even if you're

(51:09):
not emotionally mature, as you know many eighteen year olds
are not, at least from a legal perspective, you're considered
an adult and capable of making informed consent. He said,
I'm nervous about young teens getting this, and no I
understand that someone that decides to be another gender wants
to transition before they get hit with puberty, but I'm
concerned about what the medical risks and the psychological risk

(51:31):
of that. I'm kind of wondering who's making the decision.
Is it the child, is it the parent, or is
it the doctor? Speaking of doctor's, doctor Safier expressed similar
ethical concerns talking about the integrity of this study that
Nike's for helping the funds, pointing to the involvement of

(51:54):
a researcher in this study, someone named Joanna Harper, a
biological male who identifies as a woman, suggesting, of course
that this person has clear bias toward this gender reassignment
and hormone therapy of experiment mangal alike. She knows that
while doctor Katherine Ackerman, the principal investigator, is a qualified

(52:17):
expert to lead such research, the inclusion of a transgender researcher,
this Joanna Harper person and Nike's financial backing introduces an
implicit bias and that undermines the studi's objectivity. Science is
supposed to be about discovery, not proving preconceived opinions. I

(52:43):
feel so sorry for these kids, and they of course
express the idea that you know, parents and guardians, when
faced with this sort of genderedisphoric child should offer emotional support,
should offer and find some counseling out there. But let's

(53:07):
not rush to start mangle alike experimenting them on with
medical treatments that are unproven and maybe very dangerous or,
as noted by the doctors, irreversible. Do you think the
same thoughts and share the exact same ideas as you
did when you're twelve? Do you think you've grown emotionally

(53:31):
as an adult since you were twelve? You're capable of
looking at things along different lines since you were twelve
I'll admit that I have six eighteen fifty five KR
city talk station. A great idea to save just significant
amounts of money. Affordable medical imaging, affordable imaging services, that's

(53:53):
the place to be for echo cardiograms, mrict scans, and ultrasounds.
And I found out yesterday next I'm gonna need an
echo cardiogram, and they gave me the prescription for it,
which is kind of like you know, it's a print
out ordering the procedure to be done. And I said
they were gonn to semi over to the hospital because
of course the doctor's office I went to is owned

(54:14):
by the hospital. In fact, it sits inside the hospital
medical building. Said no, I got a company that do
commercial sport. It's called Affordable Imaging Services. And I'll get
that echo cartogram for five hundred dollars, unless you need
an enhancement, in which case it'll be eight hundred. But
I'm not going to pay thirty five hundred dollars at
your little imaging department here in the hospital. No, thank you.

(54:37):
It doesn't have to be that expensive. And you know what,
you don't have to wait around. I'm not in an
emergency situation with this. This is just the sort of
part of my general health, you know, keep it on
track and on touching on top of things. So that's
next year. But if your doctor orders an echo cardogram
because he or she suspects she got a problem, do
you want to wait a month, which you may have to.
Imaging departments at the hospital sometimes are backed up. They'll

(54:59):
get you right in at Affordable Imaging Services for that
echo cartogram and again saving massive amounts of money. All
the images, whether they echo cartograms, MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds,
come with a board certified radiologist report included in the
low price. So not thirty five hundred dollars for an MRI,
which you pay probably at the hospital. It's four hundred
and ninety five bucks at Affordable Imaging Services. Learn more

(55:21):
about the pricing and the information. It's low overhead. I'll
point that out up front. But that's one of the
reasons they can pass along these massive savings to you.

(55:46):

also happy about it being Friday. About one minute left
in the segment here, got a little long winded going
to a rail against the Mangola experience, the experiments that
we're doing on our children. Sorry for going long, you know,

(56:09):
I just that troubles me to no end. You know,
it's funny because the two physicians in that study site
the direction that the Europeans are going, like, for example,
the United Kingdom, which whose Supreme Court has already ruled
it there are only two genders and that doesn't solve
the generatus for your problem. But they cited a United

(56:29):
Kingdom cast review commissioned by England's National Health Services, led
by pediatrician doctor Hillary Cass for report comprehensive independent examination
of gender identity services for kids, finding most studies on
puberty blockers are low quality, with limited data and long
term outcomes. Puberty blockers may harm bone health and fertility.

(56:53):
Majority of children of start blockers go on to cross
sex hormones, undermining the idea that it's simply a pause.
Mental health concerns like autism and anxiety often occur and
require broader evaluation, A multidisciplinary approach to care's crucial, emphasizing
psychological support over immediate medical intervention. And I see, that's

(57:17):
the point I make. If it's a child, they even
cite twelve year old. That's why I kept emphasizing twelve
year olds. In the last segment. You're putting twelve year
olds on hormone blockers. You got to get them before
puberty kicks in, I guess. And it's weird that Nike's
funding this to find out if this ends up leveling
the playing field. God, I find that so disturbing anyway,

(57:40):
psychological support over medical intervention. And following the review, the
National Health Service in the United Kingdom has since restricted
the use of puberty blockers to clinical trials. Only maybe
they'd argue this Nike study, privately funded is a clinical trial.
I don't know. There ought to be a law six

and the team. You've got a business. I know you
have computers. Everybody does. You need Dave and his team
to keep you out of trouble, undo the trouble you
got into and establish best practices everything related to computers.

(59:49):
They're the best in the business. Don't take my word
for it, That's what the business Insdane Business Courier says,
Welcome back, Dave Hatter. Always a pleasure to have you
on the show.

Speaker 3 (59:57):
Always my pleasure to be here, Brian. I look forward
to it every Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
I do too, and I think because it's going to
be a shorter subject matter before we get to the
Iranian hackers. Let's start with the fake Ohio toll messages,
because I got one the other day, and I know
the answer to the question is just delete the damn
thing and ignore it. But these are coming out all
the time. Like I said, I got one, so I'm
sure they're everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Yeah, I've gotten a bunch of these, Brian, and not
just about tolls, and I think that's probably the more
important takeaway. Exactly the toll thing has been rampant recently.
You know, it's coming from various different tolling authorities around
the country. It might be easy pass, it might be
something else. I've seen many examples of this and seen
many articles, and it doesn't seem to be dying off

(01:00:40):
this particular scam. You know, it keeps hitting the media.
And what I said before, though, is really this is
just indicative of the fact that more and more people
are using text. The bad guys know this. It's easy
to write a program that can generate spoof phone numbers.
That's a big part of this. It's really easy to
spoof or create a phone call or a text that

(01:01:03):
comes from any number you want, so your phone lights up.
Says you're getting a call from this number, or a
text appears to have come from this number, but it
did not. That's very, very easy to do, unfortunately, that's
one of the reasons why these things are successful. So
you couple the ease of sending out mass texts, you
couple that with the spoofing aspect of it, and the

(01:01:24):
fact that it's really hard to look at a text
and know whether it's legitimate or not, not only because
of the spoof phone number, but there's usually not a
lot of information. And unlike on a computer when you
get a link in an email you can mouse over
it and see where that link goes. You just see
a link, you don't know whether it's legit or not.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
And these toll things and a lot of these spoof texts,
you know, there have been spoof texts from FedEx and
ups and people's banks, you name it. They've gotten very
creative and they try to help you become a victim.
Because on an Apple phone anyway, when you receive a
text that has a link from an unknown number, Apple
will automatically disable the link. So Apple is trying to

(01:02:03):
help you avoid becoming a victim. And the bad guys
are smart enough to realize this, and if you read that,
they'll tell you hit why to reply, close the text,
and then reopen the text because they know once you reply,
Apple will assume that's okay. When you reopen the message,
the link is now enabled and you can go down
their rabbit hole into whatever sort of nefarious thing they

(01:02:26):
had you set up for. So it shows you just
how creative and devious these guys are and how they're
trying to help you help them be their next victim.
So you're right, Brian. The best thing you can do
do not reply. Just delete the thing, report it as
junk so that number will get blocked. Now you know
again these numbers are fake anyway. It's easy to roll

(01:02:47):
through a series of fake numbers, but at least you
won't get another text from that fogus number again, and
that's your best bet. Education is always skepticism. And then
just delete this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Just deleted. Yep, my default for everything that comes lands
on my cell phone just deleted.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
It's probably a really good way to approach things, Brian,
because the likelihood of getting scam drops off drastically if
you just delete the stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
I know, you know, even it's a like prescription notices
because as you pointed out a bunch of times, you know,
like Walgreens, I got a prescription, they say you want
your prescription refilled. Now I have pretty good confidence because
of the way they communicate me with me that that's legitimate.
But you know, I can call Walgreens and tell them
film my prescription. You talk about all the time that

(01:03:35):
they can fake and it looks just like something you
get from like an email. It can look exactly like
a fifth third email as a message. It may very
well not be.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
So you're exactly right, Brian, And take the Walgreens for example.
If one of those hackers ever got a prescription refill notice,
they can copy that there you are, but whatever they
want in there, and then send out a hundred million
of them or a billion of them to every conceald
phone number. Because phone numbers follow a pattern, right us,
phone numbers follow a known pattern. I can write a
program that will generate every number in that pattern and

(01:04:09):
just blast stuff out. Or your information is constantly being leaked.
They know your phone number, they know your email address,
they know a lot of information about you from all
these data breaches. You and I have talked about over
the years. So yeah, your best bet is if you
get a let's go back to Walgreens prescription of this.
If you get one says you want to refill. At best,
get on a full blown computer. See if it came

(01:04:30):
to your email to see if you can mouse over
the link doesn't look like goes to Walgreens, or even better,
pick up the phone and call Walgreens on a number
that you know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
Pick up the phone. It's so easy to do. Pause
it the moment we'll bring back Dave and talk about
Iranian hackers joining with the Chinese Communist Party and attacking
our water and gas systems. Oh Joy of Joys twenty
two to three Firearms out forty tude between Mason and
Leven and first off, an awesome outstanding guns for a
gun shop. They have everything you need. They have used firearms,
they have brand new ones. They have a clean, safe

(01:04:58):
indoor shooting range. They have classes including and Wendy at
twenty two three. And you know she and Jeff, the
owners are profoundly religious people, and they just wanted to
know that. You know your religious institution, your church, your synagogue,
you know you've got ethics you've got morals, you have
a belief system, but you also need to concern yourself
with crazies in the world, and they can offer you

(01:05:20):
classes on how to improve your safety and prepare for
sadly an event like that happening. So they have again
classes and so fulfill your moral and ethical obligations while
at the same time protecting the congregation and the members
of your religious institution just one of the things they do.
But they also offer individual classes, group classes I have

(01:05:42):
never shot a gun class all the way through professional
experience shooter classes, and they have membership options as well,
full service. It's a wonderful, wonderful gun shop and it's
certainly where I go when I'm in need of firearms,
AMMO or anything along those lines. Twenty two three on
route forty two between Mason and Love and and online
at twenty two to three dot com. That's the number
twenty two follow by the word three spelled out dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Fifty five KRC so forty if you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Have KRCD talk station. Happy right a Corey Bowman pre
mayor coming up off top of the our news in
the meantime, Dave Hatter from interest it dot com helping
us out. And uh, well, I guess now the Irodians
are joining the fun and hacking into our systems. Oh,
joy of joys, Dave Hatter.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
Yeah, the last thing we need, Brian. So for a
long time, if you're in this business, there's generally well
known that there's an axis of evil. It's China, Iran,
North Korea, and Russia. It's sort of the pre eminent
hacker based states where you not only have survellian hackers
there who the government is turning a blind eye to

(01:06:44):
at best, including you know, criminal gangs who are making
enormous amounts of money at this you also have state
sponsored hackers. Often the US comes up with these ridiculous
names like fancy Bear and you know, cute Panda. I don't.
I don't really know why that's done, because to me,
it takes some of the seriousness out of it when
you have these sorts of names associated with it, in

(01:07:05):
my opinion. But nevertheless, when you hear about these things,
that's what they're talking about, and this this is a
disturbing story and wired. You know, again, Iran has been
known for this for some time. But when you have
large nation states with deep pockets and resources. And you know,
the FBI is said in the past North Korea. They
believe North Korea is making billions of dollars a year

(01:07:27):
by stealing money from American individuals and American companies that
helps fund their government. So, you know, some of this
is about stealing trade secrets. We've talked about that, and
it's it's well documented that the PRC and people from
Republic of China has been stealing trade secrets for decades.
It's about stealing military secrets, it's about stealing money, it's

(01:07:47):
about causing chaos, and it's really that latter point that
I'm always the most concerned about. And to me, this
story and Wired, I encourage people to go read it
for themselves. It's got a lot of detail we won't
be able to get into. But they point out that
you now have at least one they started out or
at they claim to be a activist group. When you
hear the term activists, these are usually individuals who are

(01:08:08):
doing some hacking, but they have political goals. They're not
necessarily extremely technical, extremely capable. They don't have the deep
pockets of a state behind them or even military training. Again,
I've seen FBI stats that say, the FBI believes Chinese,
the Chinese Communist Party has a fifty to one advantage

(01:08:29):
in terms of their hackers versus ours, which is pretty
disturbing and scary. But apparently this started out or at
least was purported to be a activist thing, but it's
really sponsored by the Iranian state. These are high level
hackers and the point that they're making in this article
is that you know, they've been hacking into what I'm

(01:08:49):
going to loosely call Internet of things. Right in the
industrial world manufacturing companies, you'll hear the term operational technology.
You've got information technology, think of the people's sitting and
carpeted offices working on computers. And then you have operational
technology all the stuff that makes the plant work, sensors,
systems out there that are monitoring things, moving things around. Right,

(01:09:10):
So when you hear operational technology, that's generally what folks
are talking about. And then within that you have systems
like skata ICs industrial internet of things again, the sensors,
all the things that are collecting data making sure everything
is going well. And when people say, well, you know,
how bad could that be? Recall stuck stent right where

(01:09:31):
someone quote unquote, Brian delivered a virus to the uranium
enrichment reactors in Iran that made the operators believe they
were operating correctly while they were basically ripping themselves apart.
So when you think, when you think this is not
a thing, it's a thing. And this Uranian group apparently
has been going after industrial devices, not only in manufacturing plants,

(01:09:53):
but as we've discussed many times before, and the things
that keep me very concerned about the chemical plants, the
electrical grid logistics systems. You know, if you could shut down,
let's say, the major ports all around the country, and
we saw some of this sort of thing once, not
in the not too distant past. You know, if all
of the cranes that lift those container boxes off the
ships suddenly stop working and couldn't be fixed in a

(01:10:15):
reasonable period of time, that'd be a problem. But worse yet,
imagine if you could make a chemical plant over pressurize
or something and blast chlorine out into the area. We've
seen that happen back in Bopaul in nineteen eighth. Yeah,
or you could just shut down the grid or better
at Brian, because you have attacked all kinds of systems
in all kinds of places, these industrial Internet of things systems,

(01:10:37):
these operational technology systems, you could turn off a bunch
of stuff, shut a bunch of things down, perhaps cause
explosions or other catastrophes, nuclear plants, et cetera. It'd be
a real problem.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Yeah, that's putting is delicately.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Yeah, this isn't just my speculation. Again, the FBI and
other government agencies have been worrying about this for a
long time. You keep seeing these articles coming out again.
I encourage people go find this Wired article. It's got
a lot more detail.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
Thankfully there are lots of smart people out there working
on trying to detect and defend against this sort of stuff.
But we have got to convince businesses everywhere that they've
got to take this stuff seriously. I mean, it's not
just a potentially existential threat to their business because something
catastrophic happens that they can't recover from, but it's an

(01:11:30):
increasingly existential threat to our society, not only because of
the supply chain risk of that business going out at
the supply chain, but when you think about things again
like chemical plants, nuclear plants, electric grid water plants, which
they mentioned in this article extensively. It's a serious problem,
and we have got to get serious about it as
a society because eventually, whether it's the Chinese, the Iranians,

(01:11:54):
someone is eventually going to push the button and this
stuff is going to go down. And I do not
believe we are prepared for it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
No, I don't either. And of course one of the
things I sort of anticipate. The day China decides to
invade Taiwan is a day they'll push the button. So
while we are in running around screaming hysterics because the
electro grid is shut down and we can't get to
the grocery store or the grocery and the entire supply
chain breaks down, we're hardly going to be hardly going

(01:12:23):
to be able to deal with the Taiwanese people, or
maybe that'll be the beginning of World War three.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
I think that's a real threat, Brian, as I do.
Test as it may sound to some, you know, it's
the old distraction technique, right, Oh, look all your systems
are down now. You're too busy dealing with your own
problems to even worry about what we're doing over here.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
Mass hysteria. Dave again. No, it's mass hysteria.

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
You can't get your money, you can't buy food, you
can't get gas, you can't it's I know it's not
pleasant to think about these things, but you know, fore
warned is forearmed, and we really really really have to
get serious about this as a country, as businesses, as individuals.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Fair enough, time is n It is past nine coming
out Microsoft's new AI tool, a privacy nightmare. God good
news and report this morning. So why not get over
to Gate to Heaven Cemetery and engage in some quiet contemplation.
Maybe prayer as we contemplate through out is what Dave's
just talking about. It's a beautiful, beautiful location, winding roads

(01:13:28):
and pathways, the monuments, the shrines and reflective water tree features,
and the gorgeous, gorgeous trim lawns and seasonal flowers. It's
a park like setting. It is a park and you know,
as you can find comfort and peace in the cemetery's
quiet reverence surroundings, and it is literally open to everyone
for your enjoyment. So take a stroll, sit down, meditate, contemplate,

(01:13:51):
engage in prayer. They've been ministering to the tri saye
more than seventy seven years. Honor your life on Sacred Ground.

Huh Microsoft's new AI tool Tell my listeners about this?

(01:14:12):
When Tim foil had or well report Dave.

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
Adder, Ah, what could go wrong? Brian? And by the way,
you made me have a good flashback there the way
you described Sunny Sunday. Do you remember the board game
Payday Parker Brothers, Oh yeah, I haven't thought played that
like crazy as a kid. And if you remember the
Sunday space that was set up like a calendar, sweet Sunday,

(01:14:35):
a little flashback, will you find? It made me think
of that.

Speaker 9 (01:14:38):
That.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
So Microsoft has a thing. This got a lot of
flak last year and they kind of backed off it.
It's a feature called Recall. It has not been fully
rolled out, and it's only going to be rolled out
to newer devices with co Pilot plus so far anyway.
But it's a really interesting idea. And on one hand,

(01:15:00):
I could like so much of this stuff, Brian. On
one hand, I could see where this could be beneficial,
But on the other hand, I could easily see how
this has some very orwellian aspects to it and could
go horrifically wrong. And ironically, this morning, when I woke up,
I was sort of scanning the news and I saw
a story on LinkedIn, so a friend of mine had
posted this where apparently we've talked about this before. Bossware.

(01:15:23):
It's software designed to install on a device, perhaps serptipitously,
serreptitiously maybe not, and basically monitor what your employees are doing.
I think we've talked about I know we've talked about
this before, but folks maybe even heard of like mouse jigglers,
which is idea that you're going to install another piece
of software that makes your mouse move around so it
seems like you're working, so the bossware thinks you're working

(01:15:45):
even though you're not. The point being though, a company
that fairly well known company in this space did not
have their servers configured correctly, and twenty one million images
that were taken by this bossware software running in the
background or leaked on the internet. Who knows what's in
that right? Who knows what your employees are doing? And
I'm not saying in a bad way. I mean, they're
doing their job. Who knows what sensitive trade secrets they

(01:16:07):
might have access TOPII PHI hipoprotected information. Who knows twenty
one million images just got leaked on the internet. Back
to recall, now, I just wanted to set that up.
So Recall is a similar type of product. It's not
designed as boss wear, it's not designed to be secret.
The idea of recall is while you're working, it's occasionally

(01:16:29):
taking screenshots of your computers. So when you go, hey,
you know, a few days ago, I was looking up
this thing on the internet. Now I don't remember what
it was. You could essentially, almost like a camera roll
on the phone, just roll back and find it. So
that's the premise of it. And again I kind of
understand the premise, and I could even see where there
are many times where that would have been handy for me,

(01:16:49):
especially like in the old days when I was still
writing a lot of code. You know, maybe I deleted
something and now I need it and I don't have
a copy of it. I might have been able to
find that old code without having to try to created
about it.

Speaker 10 (01:17:01):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
So I understand the premise, but I have a lot
of serious concerns, as do many privacy experts. I mean,
people went ballistic over this thing when it was first announced.
And like, here's a great quote in an article. Right
privacy campaigner doctor Chris Sharissik, who previously recalled who previously
called recall quote a privacy nightmare unquote said the opt

(01:17:25):
in mechanism is an improvement, but felt it could still
be misused. And then he says, and this is good
quote information about other people who cannot consent will be
captured and processed through recall and quote. And what he
means is while now there is an opt in feature,
there wasn't in the original role. Out of this, which
is good, you could go in and turn it off
if it's enabled on your computer. His point is, so

(01:17:46):
like his boss ware thing, you're my client. Let's say
I'm an attorney, Brian, you're my client. Your information is
being screenshot at sensitive divorce case. I don't know you're
you're suing someone over copyright infringement. That's getting screenshotted, and
then suddenly it gets leaked somehow bad software configuration. I

(01:18:06):
don't know what I'm doing using my computer, and now
your information has been leaked inadvertently by me. Who's responsible?
Is it me? Is it Microsoft? Either way, you've already
been harmed. Now are You're going to get another lawyer
to sue the lawyer that leaks your information inadvertently through
this tool. So I am not a fan of this. Again,
I can easily see where if you were a skilled

(01:18:29):
and save a user and you fully understood the consequences
of this going bad, this could be helpful. So if
you wanted to opt into it and you really knew
how it worked. Microsoft also says they're not uploading the
information to Microsoft servers. It's local to your PC. So
they've done some things that give me less concern about it.

(01:18:50):
But I know this will go bad because people will
not really understand what's happening, how it's working. Hackers will know, Oh,
here's the folder the recall photos gets to wored right,
I've broken into your system. Let me get to this
folder and see what I can steal. And then again,
just today, just today, the news breaks about another company
doing something similar, twenty one million images out there. So yeah,

(01:19:13):
not a fan. I am not. I won't be using
recall anytime soon, Brian.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
That would encourage others get that impression, and as an
attorney you might have to get informed consent from your
client when using some third party app which could possibly,
but maybe not likely, dump your information out into the world. Anyhow,
Dave had our interest it dot com. Appreciate you coming
to the program every Friday to talk about these important matters.

(01:19:38):
We'll do it again next Friday. Hope you have a
wonderful weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
Thanks for what you do.

Speaker 3 (01:19:43):
Always my pleasure. Brian look forward to talking to you

(01:20:19):
What an extra special treat I knew Corey Buman was
going to join the program, but I kind of thought
he was gonna be calling. In the fact, I talked
over to Joe Strecker. I said, Joe, is Corey coming
into the show studio? Is gonna be calling? He said,
Now he's gonna be calling in. I turn around and
Joe Strecker's walking into my room in the studio right
behind him, Corey Bauman find him online at Corey Bowman

(01:20:39):
of course he's gonna win the primary. It's gonna be
him against aftab Provall in November. And Lord Almighty. After
talking to Todd Zenzer yesterday, and congratulations, welcome Corey Bowman.
You got another endorsement, Todd Zenzer.

Speaker 12 (01:20:51):
Yeah, that was awesome to hear that as well. But
thank you so much for having me, Brian. It's awesome
to actually be in the studio. I like that more
than anything.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
I enjoy heaving. So I went across the board here
to talk to and look at in the face, because
you know, it just makes conversation that much easier. All right, So,
I think the biggest story locally in the city of Cincinnati,
and you were there and you heard the residents of
Hyde Park talking about it. Sounds to me like they
were not interested in having the zoning variants granted. But

(01:21:20):
the council members I think they had after talking to
Todd Zenzer yesterday, they had prepared statements prepared statements before
the vote seven to two vote to allow the variants
from the previously shoved down every neighborhood in the City
of Cincinnati Connected Communities zoning laws. They then immediately pivot

(01:21:40):
and shove the variants the allowance for the waiver of
the height restrictions in Hyde Park Square down the residence
of Hyde Park Throat. I can't reconcile those two. But
if you have a prepared statement going into the meeting
before you've listened to what I understand were very well
articulated legitimate concerns expressed by the residents of that neighborhood. Yep.

(01:22:05):
I mean you're not even giving them a fair shake.

Speaker 12 (01:22:08):
Yeah, well, I mean I've prepared a statement and I
was keeping within my two minutes of time just to
kind of support the community. But the people that were
getting up, these were Hyde Park residents of thirty forty
fifty years.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
You had people and this.

Speaker 12 (01:22:23):
Was like one after another where just some of them
were a little bit more colorful than others, but every
one of them had excellent points with their community of
why they do not want the rezoning, and they were
very adamant to explain that they're not against development. They're
not against the building. It's just how it's being done
right now to take away from the charm and the

(01:22:44):
character of Hyde Park. But the thing that kind of
blew me away was that, you know, no matter the issue,
an elected official is there to constantly and consistently consider
the voice of the community. And that's who showed up
and they were just ignored that day.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
And they have been ignored, I guess across the board.
When you have an organized campaign and four thousand people
signing on to a petition for the for the to
the city council saying do not allow this? That how
many times has that happened? Like never? I mean, this

(01:23:20):
isn't an election where you know you're you're putting up
Corey Bowman signs vote Corey Bowman for mayor or whatever.
I mean, you see that kind of organization all the
time because it's backed by political money, it's backed by
other people's donations and everything. But this is as grassroots
a campaign as you can find, absolutely, and with that
many people saying no, you know that's where the majority
of voters are, and yet council ignoring their This is

(01:23:43):
representative democracy here, you are elected to represent the will
of the people, and in that community, the will of
the people was do not allow this. But when you're
a well connected developer, I guess that trump's the will
of the residence of the community. Now, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 12 (01:23:58):
And the thing that this is turned into is that
Cincinnati is not just like this one downtown area. Were
made up of fifty two neighborhoods, and every one of
our neighborhoods was watching this vote very carefully. Yeah, because
it wasn't just about Hyde Park Square. This was about
do our elected officials, our nine council members, our mayor
the people that we have elected, do they actually represent

(01:24:21):
us and do they actually care to hear our voice.
So this was one community in Hyde Park that was
really speaking very strongly against this decision, and they were
ignored that day. While all of these other neighborhoods that
witness this are now questioning whether they're elected officials represent
their communities as well.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
Well, And they already know the answer to that is no,
they will not. Because again I'll go back to the
prior intrusion on zoning, which was connected communities. Each of
the fifty two neighborhoods has its own vision, view and
thoughts and ideas. Some of them, had they voted on
it in their own town halls and their own community forms,
they would have embraced the idea of connect communities. Other
ones did not want it at all. And yet the

(01:25:03):
whole city of Cincinnati is now governed by this zoning
called connected Communities. Long Comes High Park developers they want
a variance from that, and they get it in spite
of the will of the people in Hyde Parker said no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
do not do this. I don't understand that. But as
Todd Zendzer pointed out yesterday, and I recommend everyone listening
to that podcast, that is an eye opening discussion we had.

(01:25:25):
They did this the Bond Hill as well.

Speaker 12 (01:25:27):
Yeah, well, also to the whenever we first started running
for mayor. You know, the first thing that I started
researching was this connected communities and all these policies that
were going in place. And when I saw it, to
be honest with you, when you read the cover sheet,
you know, it sounds all nice and all. We're all
for development, we're all for community, we're all for all this.

(01:25:47):
But when you dive down deep into it, this was
just a trojan horse for failed policies of what we've
already seen in communities like where I'm at with our
business and church in the West End. It's just now
they have a new label on it. But these policies
do not help our communities, they don't help our neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
And this is what it does.

Speaker 12 (01:26:05):
It chokes out one of the golden opportunities of our city,
and that is to take advantage of small time developers
and people that actually have a heart for our community.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
Because the reality of is.

Speaker 12 (01:26:15):
That there is so much property and historic significance in
our city that is being underutilized. Oh yeah, and when
it comes to these small developers that can do one
or two properties at a time, you let these businesses thrive,
You let these communities thrive, you let these housing opportunities thrive.
But no, it has to be under the big vision,

(01:26:36):
the big picture vision of our elected officials.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
And I think that goes to other comments that Todd
highlighted about, like this green agenda that's behind the scenes,
you know, the fifteen minute community this whole I think
it was Agenda fifty one. It was talked about maybe
ten twelve years ago. It's got a new label on
it now. But federal money comes in in order to
retool entire cities to eliminate, you know, private ownership of automobiles,

(01:27:00):
eliminate parking spaces, you know, get people concentrated in areas
close to public transportation. I mean, maybe that's not the
vision that everybody in the community wants, you know, how
about how about letting us have a say? And I
think this whole vote in this this is a reflection
of them caring more about what their vision is for

(01:27:22):
any given area rather than representing the interests of the citizens.
I mean, it's clearly what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:27:27):
Well.

Speaker 12 (01:27:27):
Also, it shows that this is more of a national
take on these policies rather than actually looking at the
unique things that make Cincinnati Cincinnati, because we're, like I said,
we're fifty two neighborhoods. I'm in College Hill right now,
and they implement that same strategy of a bike lane
and a two lane highway on North Bend Road, which
everyone hates it right now. And I tell you we're

(01:27:51):
a city of hills. We're a city of snow or
a city of rain. And the thing is is that
I haven't yet to see one biker in the bike
on North Bend Road that they spent thousands upon thousands
of dollars to make this a bike line.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
There is this.

Speaker 12 (01:28:07):
Incredibly large, dense apartment complex that's on North Bend Road
that is still vacant to this day. And so the
reality of it is that these policies do not reflect
the uniqueness of the fifty two neighborhoods of Cincinnati. It's
one thing if you want to do this downtown. It's
one thing if you want to make Crew Tower residential,
and you want to make more access to public transportation.

(01:28:29):
Those are things that actually make sense. But when you're
in the other fifty two neighborhoods to where Hyde Park
and College Hill and all these areas that have their
own unique traits to it, you can't implement those same
policies to it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
You can't. You can't ride a bike on Sunset either,
got away to get Sunset in literally every conversation we
need to do our next be campaign event on sunset
and sunset just standing there. Just don't drive your car
on it. Yeah, you'll end up getting needed in an alignment,
or you'll need to get your rims up if fixed. Man,
that is just so distressing and disturbing when you realize

(01:29:05):
they do have a lot of money and they are
not allocating it I properly. They're not taking care of
existing infrastructure. And I know that's my favorite street to
make fun of. And I bet that every time I
say it, there's probably nine thousand people just all screaming about,
Oh yeah, you think some such bad you should come
out and see mine. But that's the kind of thing
that's the problem. They fail to appreciate the priorities and

(01:29:26):
the needs of the residents as possible. Being Corey Bowman

pretty confident about that when going with Corey Bowmen. And
you know what would be great, Corey, I think it
would be so absolutely cool if the rest of the

(01:29:52):
city of Cincinnati recognizes what happens with Bond Hill and
Hyde Park and sees that or feels already burned earned
by having connected communities imposed upon them, depriving them of
the direction of their neighborhood. If they are all burned
enough on that that you end up getting the most

(01:30:12):
votes in the primary. Well, yeah, I want to ask
par Ball.

Speaker 12 (01:30:17):
Yeah, let's actually make a statement, if you, for the
sake of what happened this last week's with the elected
officials blatantly ignoring the communities, let's make a statement in
this primary May by May six, vote for Corey Bowman
and just make that a statement to say enough is
enough and now put a fire on their tails.

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
I'm telling you certainly would, and that does not mean
you then have to vote for Corey in November, although
I really encourage you to do that me too, But
that would just be so cool. Can you imagine the

Corey Bowman wins primary beats have to have par Ball, God,

I feel pretty confident Andrew Cullen and Color Electric will
still extend the twenty percent discount because you need to
do it by the end of this month, and that's
a twenty percent discount on a service upgrade. So you
got through the end of the month the thirtieth to
take advantage of a twenty percent discount of new service
installation for your home. Twenty percent off total job costs
can save you a lot of money given how expensive

(01:31:19):
it because of code changes that were implemented last year.
I don't know why they do this, but it's the

Also Westside Jim Keefer, who wanted to be sure we
brought his name up. Hell, yeah, there you go, Westside,

(01:33:21):
got your name up, and I know you're a strong
Corey Bowman endorser. Pivoting back to have to have pro
ball in the current makeup a city council, while stabbing
the various residents in the neighborhoods in the back in
terms of their zoning rights, engaging in national level politics
while breaking the laws of the City of Cincinnati, and

(01:33:41):
causing the Cincinnati Police Department to have to incur unanticipated,
unplanned overtime expenses to the tune of fifteen thousand dollars.
He's doing an anti Elon Musk protest, blocking the streets,
no permit, and there he is with his bullhorn. What
the hell does that have to do with Cincinnati city issues?
Corey Bowman, Well, that's the biggest thing that I'm hearing

(01:34:03):
from people. I mean, when we talk to people, we
talk to Republicans, Democrats, undecided, charter rights, whatever you want
to call it, and everybody is fed up with local
government trying to bring national politics into this. Yes, there
might be a connection to people in Washington right now.
Yes we have to have a relationship with people in
the federal government, state government, but city government needs to

(01:34:26):
focus on city government. And people are fed up with
all these agendas and all these opinions that have nothing
to do with potholes, have nothing to do with crime,
have nothing to do with that. So this protest.

Speaker 12 (01:34:37):
I'm not against protests, and we have the right to
peaceably assemble and protests under the constitution, but the way
that it was done, the city itself incurred, like you said,
up to fifteen thousand dollars of unplanned expenses, and we're
trying to run on money management, to be just smarter
with our budget, to be able to prioritize what needs
to be prioritized with the budget, with the finances. I

(01:35:00):
was a case there, and then you're up there with
a bullhorn and you're talking about national politics, and yeah,
it might get you on the news, or it might
get you, you know, a raw raw from the people,
but this isn't fixing our city problems.

Speaker 1 (01:35:13):
No, it's not getting sunset pay. That's for damn sure. Well,
and it's ken Kober the FOP hasn't and pointed out,
you know, you got all these additional officers standing around.
But and he didn't say it directly, but he certainly
implied it that they were not to issue any citations
for violating the permit requirement. There is a law in

(01:35:34):
the books that require you if you're going to block,
especially the blocking the streets is not is unlawful in
and of itself. Listen to him, Sorry, listen, next time
arrest the mayor if he engages in this. I mean,
if he's the one stirring the pot, he'd be the
best figurehead to use as an illustration saying, listen, you're
not allowed to block the dam streets. And we even
arrested our own mayor and gave a citation for it. Well,

(01:35:54):
that's the thing with our police officers. We have some
of the greatest police officers in our city. And a
lot of people talk about crime in our city and
I think that all the time. CPD will get a
bad rep for that. But you got to realize that
the government is essentially tying their hands. YEP, because they
have non pursuit laws, they have directives in order that
prevent them from doing their jobs properly. And so you

(01:36:15):
want to blame the crime, blame it on the administration
that's tying the hands of our police officers well and
sap in the will and they desire to even do
their job because if you follow through to the prosecutor's office,
and the prosecutor can do the best job in the world,
and you can draw on conclusions on whether Kyalage County
pillage is. But then once you get in front of
a judge, and the judge is one of those Silverstein

(01:36:36):
type judges and doesn't apply a bond to a very
dangerous individual who may be a flight risk or a
danger of the community. And then when it comes time
for actual sentencing, after being convicted beyond a reasonable doubt,
they get a slap on the wrist and the're back
on the street. That just defeats the entire will and
collapses the entire structure of law enforcement. Punishment is a

(01:36:57):
deterrent and if you take away the deterrent effect, you're
not going to stay out the crime from happening.

Speaker 12 (01:37:01):
No exactly, And we talk to police officers. I mean,
there's many that come in my coffee shop in the
West Send, and when we talk about these issues, a
lot of people think, oh, we're they're understaff or there's
things happen, And for the most part, they actually say
that their biggest issues are these policies. Are these things
that are tying their hands, like non pursuit laws that
are keeping them from doing their job. Two is like

(01:37:24):
what you said, like these judges and these things that
are happening after the arrest. That is just basically discouraging them.
What's the reason why we're booking people? Why is the
reason why we are enforcing these laws if they're not
going to be implemented after the process.

Speaker 1 (01:37:39):
Yeah, you got to complete the process and get the
conviction in order to get that leg of the criminal
justice in place, which is the deterrent effect. You know,
it has to have consequences. Without consequences, there is no
point in law enforcement. Corey Bowman, it's been a pleasure
having you in and I appreciate making the effort to

Happy Friday. And I know there's a lot of folks
that are in assisted living facilities out there in the
world that are much much, much happier because of the
work of my next guest, and she's been on several times,
Patty Scott, who's with HEART for Seniors Foundation, which is
a nonprofit, and that HEART stands for Healthcare Evolution Alert

(01:40:45):
Responsive Technology, And what they do is they help out
seniors who are dealing with you know, it's like incontinence
issues that so many have and I know this from
a personal, you know standpoint, and it's impossible for the
staff at these various facific to know exactly when they
need to get in there and help that patient out.
And so this amazing technology which just with your donation

(01:41:07):
you can help assist them get this affordable technology into
these facilities. So the healthcare providers there get an immediate
note warning like hey, room four, second floor, mister Jones
needs some assistance and rather than letting him lay there
for ten or twelve fifteen hours, which quite often happens.

(01:41:29):
They get right to the need and then it and
as well, it provides other things. Patty, Patty Love, I love.
I sort of adopted your charity and I'm glad to
be able to help you out. Patty. It's welcome back
to the program.

Speaker 4 (01:41:43):
Brian, you and your listeners have been amazing, and you
can adopt us anytime.

Speaker 10 (01:41:48):
We cannot thank you enough.

Speaker 1 (01:41:51):
Well we I mean, we kind of have adopted you,
so then that's good. That's good. I mean, And you
had those wonderful young ladies on last time. God is
so moved by their singing skills and abilities. And if
you make a donation to Hard for Seniors, you may
very well be blessed by a visit from what were
the gal's names.

Speaker 4 (01:42:12):
Yeah, may say Marie Cunningham, the kind of Marangers from
the NBC Voice, which.

Speaker 10 (01:42:19):
By the way, you need to let us know.

Speaker 4 (01:42:20):
They're ready to come sing to your mother because of
your wonderful donation. So we're still we uh, just need
a date and time.

Speaker 10 (01:42:28):
I will tell you.

Speaker 4 (01:42:29):
We did our first visit a couple of weeks ago
and let's just say tears are flowing.

Speaker 10 (01:42:35):
Oh yo, to be getting a lot of video.

Speaker 1 (01:42:40):
Oh wow.

Speaker 10 (01:42:41):
I don't even know where to begin on that one.
Let me start first with that.

Speaker 4 (01:42:45):
Let's just say the isolation that goes on with a
lot of these seniors. The joy of just a simple
somebody coming in and singing to them and being told
that your loved one is thinking about you and sent
these little angels to sing a favorite song. Oh yeah,

(01:43:06):
has been probably the most joyous thing I've ever seen
in my entire life. It is so incredible, And.

Speaker 1 (01:43:14):
There's no way I could ever call that an overstatement
because I got to witness they sat here in my
studio and they just are such great singers, and they
have such a positive attitude, a loving spirit. You can
see it, you can sort of feel it. It's like
somebody who walks in the room has a certain glow
and aura about them. You're like, that's a good person

(01:43:36):
right there. That's those young ladies. And they just exude
this charm and positivity and they're not they don't have
any kind of agenda other than sharing their the spirit
and their love for well seniors. And I love the
story about their neighbor. What their ninety plus year old
neighbor who doesn't have anybody left in their life, has
outlived their children, and they go and spend time with her.

(01:43:59):
It's just it's just what they're all about. So you guys,
the marriage of you of them with hard for seniors
is just the perfect fit.

Speaker 10 (01:44:08):
It is, and I'll tell you when you'll see it.

Speaker 4 (01:44:11):
With your mom, they just sit, they hold their hand,
they sing to it's like this little personal concert and
I just stand and cry. I mean, I have flowing
down my mind. But it's really personal. And that's really
what we want to do, is bring this personal. You know,

(01:44:31):
when somebody is at the end of their life stage
right there's no reason why. And obviously I'm a perfect example.
It's so hard right there. My dad for the last
month has been in the hospital and I couldn't care
for him at home if I tried. I mean, it's
just been real. He's eighty seven and it's just been real,

(01:44:53):
real issues. And we finally have gotten him to rehab
facility right now, hopefully we'll get him back home. But
you know, there just sometimes reaches a point where you
can't care for them at home and they have to
be where the medical professionals are. And Brian, let me
just tell you call lights have been an issue in

(01:45:16):
the last several weeks.

Speaker 10 (01:45:18):
We all know it.

Speaker 4 (01:45:19):
And we had told you about our call ote technology
that we installed locally and have been testing.

Speaker 10 (01:45:26):
And let me just tell you that right there is
a game changer.

Speaker 4 (01:45:32):
Typically, most average calllites can they could be answered quickly,
but with staffing issues and things like that. God loved
the healthcare staff. When they're covering a whole hall, sometimes
by themselves at neither on the weekends, the calllight maybe
just you know, gets turned off, whatever the case may be.

(01:45:53):
Now this calllite technology goes straight to their biolink phone
and they get alerted differently they do than for.

Speaker 8 (01:46:01):
An incontinence issue or a pulse sox issue dropping.

Speaker 4 (01:46:04):
And let me just tell you we are seeing response
times now just in testing mode of upwards of four
to five minutes, which may sound like a long time,
but in a normal average can't come answer the calllight
for an hour and forty five minutes.

Speaker 10 (01:46:22):
It's massive, it's massive.

Speaker 4 (01:46:25):
And what's really cool is we're targeting to determine why
are they hitting the calllight Is it medicine related, is
it socialization related?

Speaker 10 (01:46:35):
Is it food related? Is it hydration related?

Speaker 4 (01:46:39):
Nobody has been able to collect data before to determine,
or is someone kidding me?

Speaker 1 (01:46:45):
They don't know? No surprise. I mean that sounds like
a very With modern technology and computers, it seems like
a very simple thing to be able to document. But
there's no requirement that you document why the call light
went off, So nobody does it. But your technology has
the ability to just to put that data in and

(01:47:05):
keep track of it. Let's bring Patty back. It's heart
for seniors. It's heart the number four seniors dot org.
I strongly encourage my listeners to make a contribution, and
you too, make it a lovely serenade. And it's not
just the seniors are on the last limbs of My
mom's listening to the program Patty. So we Mom, we
haven't written you off. She's still independent, she lives at home.

(01:47:26):
You can also have this, may see Marie come over
and sing for maybe a caregiver as well. They'll do that,
So pause and make the donation and we'll bring her
back and find out how much how many inroads they've made,
because I know they keep expanding. So first though, a
word for doctors Fred Peck and Megan threw the dynamic
duo of dentistry. Now doctor Fredpack and other wonderful staff

(01:47:49):
at his clinic, well they're clinic now, but he's been
my general dentist for jeez, if I've been fifteen years
by now. Just the most state of the art clinic.
He insists on every thing being cutting edge, and so
they do have everything cutting edge and it's all for
the benefit and the comfort of the patients there. Teaming
up with doctor Pecks been more than a year now.

(01:48:10):
I think Doctor Meghan Fru working under accreditation with the
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, so she offers her fresh
perspectives on cosmetic dentistry. Doctor Fred Peck has got years
under his belt doing transformative, life changing, exceptional cosmetic dentistry.
If you need cosmetic dentistry, you don't like your smile,
you got a problem with it. Want of those types
of people to put their hand in front of their

(01:48:31):
mouth because you don't want they don't. You don't want
people to see your teeth. You need to see the
dynamic duo of dentistry. Doctor Peck and a credited fellow
with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. And that's rarefied air.
I mean, just you'll see the before and after pictures
of some of the work that he's done over the years.
Absolutely mind boggling. And doctor Freu, if you're afraid of
the deal of the dentist, you don't like dentists, it's

(01:48:52):
impossible not to love doctor Meghan Freu. So the dynamic
due is there waiting for you. Get a call, make

It's of course Heart for Seniors, Heart the number four
Seniors dot org nonprofit organization. You can help out. Any

(01:50:31):
little contribution can help. And I tell you what. Patty Scott,
my guest this morning, we've had her on before, has
just let me know on so many occasions how much
she appreciates you, my listeners, and the help that you
have given the Heart for Seniors organization and its effort
to help these folks truly in need. They are, so

(01:50:51):
I want to thank all my listeners for supporting this
wonderful organization as well. It just makes so much sense.
And honestly, Patty, it's just kind of when we first
met to talk about this and you first introduced me
to this technology, I was just shocked that it wasn't
literally in every one of these senior facilities everywhere, because

(01:51:12):
it's you know, ultimately, while it can be expensive to obtain,
you know, collectively, for every single bed and every single
facility overall, the cost is not that much given today's
modern technology.

Speaker 4 (01:51:25):
No, it's twelve dollars and eighty seven cents a day
Brian for one resident. Yeah, and that's actually with them
being on the entire bioling system, you know, and somebody
doesn't have to be incontinent. We have the rest wearables
that a lot of people wear. You know, as you
get older, your pul sock drops, and if somebody like
forgets to put their oxygen on after they shower, and

(01:51:48):
all of a sudden, their pulsocks drops from one hundred
down to eighty that could cause a major issue. Again,
Alert response technology, they're rest wearable will pick up on it.
It's the only approved device in the United States and
it alerts for help.

Speaker 10 (01:52:06):

term care facilities, but if any of your listeners have
loved ones at home and need help with caregiving, all.

Speaker 10 (01:52:23):
They need to do is email us.

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
Email us, email me personally Patty Patty at Hartfordseniors dot org,
and we can set you up like your own little
nursing home at home as well, if that helps you
or helps the healthcare provider.

Speaker 10 (01:52:40):
We are here.

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
Locally obviously, we've expanded now to eight facilities fully functional.
We're about to launch another four in the next month.
With our goal, as you knew from day one when
we met, we want to be at least in fifty
facilities in the state of Ohio by the end of
the year.

Speaker 1 (01:52:57):
Well, I hope we can help achieve that goal. I
truly do, and I know my listeners are willing to
help out. They had before and you know, to the
extent you didn't get to hear the Cunningham Sisters sing
on my program, And you want to know what you're
in for if you make a donation, just go to
YouTube and type in Cunningham's Sisters and it'll probably pop
up Cunningham's Sisters on the voice And if you connect

(01:53:20):
to that link, there's several videos of them, and some
of them are several years old, and there's I'd see
they posted one as recently as a month ago under
the moniker the Cunningham Sister. So check it out. You're
in for a real treat and you'll know exactly what's
in store for you when you make that donation. They're
just lovely singers, they are.

Speaker 4 (01:53:39):
And I will also tell you we've had a couple
of your listeners who did donate last time but said, hey,
my parents are states away, and we're like, hey, no problem,
we'll make a video for you.

Speaker 10 (01:53:50):
Oh cool, and so.

Speaker 4 (01:53:53):
Yes, so there were willing if we have parents on
other coasts or miles away.

Speaker 10 (01:53:58):
I mean, hey, they'll fly. Macy was so funny.

Speaker 4 (01:54:01):
She's like, hey, I'll fly there if we need to,
and we laughed and they said, no, just can we
make a video. So we are we can't make videos.
Is that easier to get off to them? But they're
so gracious and we're so excited that their heart is
in the right place and that they're partnering with us
as far as we can see.

Speaker 10 (01:54:21):
So that's what's really exciting to us.

Speaker 1 (01:54:23):
Well, again, your mission is consistent with their mission. So
I just I think it's just lovely what they're doing.
And wouldn't that be neat to get a YouTube or
a little video of them. It's like getting a singing telegram.
It's personalized to your loved one, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:40):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, hey, at the end of the day,
that's what life's about, right. We need to be here
for each other. And again, can't thank your listeners enough.
Alert response technology it's simple. We are just trying to
figure out the why and get there quicker and faster.
But more importantly for the healthcare providers, I just my

(01:55:03):
heart breaks when I think of a single healthcare provider,
you know, tending to thirty patients from eleven a you know,
PM till seven am in the morning by themselves with
no help well and.

Speaker 1 (01:55:16):
Then well, and more fundamentally, how bad they have to feel.
I'm sure it's like in some small respect. It's like
a surgeon who loses the patient. You know that that
impacts them absolutely personally. So you know, they they're running
around trying to tend to all these folks and they
find out when they walk into someone's room because the
hour has come or the moment in the hour on

(01:55:37):
the schedule has come when they're supposed to check on them,
that that person has been wallowing in their own filth
for the last ten hours. I mean, that's got to
break their heart, like, damn it, how come I wasn't
here sooner to help this person? Or you know, it
could be a lot worse than that, like not answering
the call light in a timely manner. That could have
been something extremely serious.

Speaker 10 (01:55:59):
Yeah, or a lot of times the other way too.

Speaker 4 (01:56:02):
We've been recently dehydration is such an issue, and if
somebody hasn't been changed or hasn't been wet in over
five hours, that's a problem.

Speaker 10 (01:56:15):
I mean that right there tends to show, hey, we need.

Speaker 4 (01:56:18):
To push fluids because we're not getting any kind of
moisture alert. We're not getting any kind of BM alert,
and that could lead to something very bad, like a
fecal impaction, which could require additional medical attention that cannot
be so good. So you know, this alert response technology

(01:56:40):
tells a story, a story that we've never ever been
able to identify before because it's just been like protocol
every two hours, which doesn't work. Go, you know, check
on them and even if they're asleep in the middle
of the night. This is another thing that's just been
so incredible. You don't have to disturb somebodey and wake

(01:57:02):
them up to change them, or stick your hand down
the breeze to determine if it's wet or moistu or not.
You can let them sleep because again you're comforted to
know that alert response technology.

Speaker 8 (01:57:13):
Will tell you.

Speaker 10 (01:57:15):
The biling system will tell you if they are wet
and need to be changed.

Speaker 8 (01:57:19):
If not, let them sleep well.

Speaker 1 (01:57:21):
And you just illustrated another fundamental beautiful thing behind this technology.
The healthcare provider doesn't have to do that with this technology.
The technology says whether it's wet down there or not.

Speaker 5 (01:57:34):
You know, not a hand yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (01:57:40):
Those that think of those mean patients that don't have
a voice, that can't hit their call light, This bioling
system has become their voice patty.

Speaker 1 (01:57:50):
It's been wonderful having in the program. It's always uplifting
to know how much effect and impact you're having for

(02:01:45):
we have every election cycle, and a welcome back to
the fifty five KRC Morning Show. My next guest, excuse me,
author of the be the weight behind the spear. He
is an Air Force colonel combat physician. Josh McConkie, author
of the award winning best selling book We're Talking About
This Morning. His multitay service includes providing critical medical support
in both wartime and peace time operations, more than three

(02:02:06):
hundred and forty hours as a flight surge in ninety
combat hours in rotor wing medical evacuation and aerossoult missions
in the Middle East. He's an Air Medal and Army
Commendation Medal recipient for exemplary service during the Operation Iraqi Freedom. Josh,
it is great to have you back on the fifty
five KC Morning Show. Thank you sir, Happy Friday. Right

(02:02:28):
back at you, brother, and for whatever reason you popped
up in my head, because this book is about equipping
future leaders with essential skills and the importance of us
sharing our all of our learned experience and our collective
knowledge with the younger people, the next generation to make
them productive and essential, critical members of our nation. And

(02:02:48):
as you emphasized this, which is critical for national security.
We had a brilliant man on every week on this
program named Jack add And who's a former anchor, and
he's an author, and he was a lawyer and he's
a historian, but he to talk about HG. Wells, who
was a big fan of socialism. We all know that
the failures of socialism, and I think one of the
reasons it fails is because it does not encourage work.

(02:03:09):
There is no reward for what you do when you participate.
But also it made me think about and comment on
we are the ones responsible for our elected officials, and
elected officials don't always have the most altruistic motives in
their minds. They think more about themselves, tend to be
malignant narcissists, and end up not helping society at large,

(02:03:31):
but only using the job as a springboard for their
own personal benefit. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:03:38):
I agree with that completely. I ran a congressional race
last year. I was outspent by twelve million dollars. Yees
kind of learned that money less in the hard way.

Speaker 1 (02:03:49):
Well, and you know, of course, as you show in
this book, and you're the type of person we need
in that leadership capacity, you're not driven by self motivation,
You're driven by this shared experience. Is this idea of
using what you learned as a combat surgeon and in
your business life to help others out and equip these
future leaders with these essential skills. What are we missing

(02:04:13):
in society here? What's your biggest concern for the future
of America? Josh Boy.

Speaker 3 (02:04:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:04:19):
I go to work every day as an emergency doctor
and I see the anxiety, depression, the suicide, and this
younger population. We have so much work to do. And
then as a military commander, I deal with them at
eighteen to twenty five years old. They're joining the military,
they have good intentions, and they just they lack the

(02:04:39):
resiliency skills, They lack the ability to adapt, the communication skills.
This is just a generation that we shut them out
of so during critical time and their development, we shut
them out of school, we shut them out of church,
and they already had communication issues to begin with, you know,
because this is the whole social media generation. They never

(02:05:00):
known a world without that, and so now more than ever,
it is important to get out there and contribute in
your community, like face to face, get out there and coach,
get out there and volunteer, get involved in your church.
You know, work with some animals. You know, those are
emotional support animals with these animal shelters. So there's so
many ways that you contribute. The government is not going

(02:05:23):
to save us. It has to be you get out there.

Speaker 1 (02:05:27):
Do you see? And I have to assume you're going
to agree with me on this one. But I've observed
over the years, and I've talked to so many people
in various capacities, from doctors to politicians, to authors and psychiatrists, psychologists,
law enforcement officers, the breakdown of the family unit. This
whole idea that children are being born and without a

(02:05:49):
solid foundation's family structure. You know, young people especially, I
think boys being brought up in households without a father
in them. Did you see any of that or do
you see any of that with the recruits in the
American military or most of them come from stable, traditional families.

Speaker 9 (02:06:07):
You know, they're certainly coming from all walks of life.
I think it's a very safe assumption that the large
portion of some mental health issues and then you look
at you know, crime, and they do tend to come
from households without that type of support. You know, just
sitting down at the dinner table with your family means everything.

(02:06:30):
Everyone is so busy, regardless of how many parents are
in the household, finding that time you can get that support,
But you have to make time. Just sit down at
the dinner table, talk about today, what went well, what
didn't go well? You know, hopefully they're making some mistakes
they can learn from, and then we can talk about
what different choices could have been made to have a
different outcome for those for those decisions. But the further

(02:06:52):
we get away from that, I think you'll find a
large portion of that. Think of the crime and well,
you see a lot of these shooters. How many of
these shooters actually have a stable household with the two parents, right?
I think if you do some background, you're going to
find most of them do not.

Speaker 1 (02:07:11):
Most of them do not, And you see that with
the crime in the streets at night. You know, I
don't know what kind of structure you grew up in,
a doctor, Colonel Maconkey, but you know I had to
be at home by a curfew. My parents implemented a curfew.
And damn it, if you weren't home or did not
call them for an extension, you're in a world of
hot water hurt. We have you know, young people running

(02:07:32):
around running amuck in the city of Cincinnati can maybe
acts of vandalism and crime and congregating in the streets
and scaring the living hell out of the folks that
just want to go down and have a nice evening out.
You know, I always hear about that, and I think
what is going on at home that they can even
get away with that.

Speaker 9 (02:07:51):
You know, I used to my dad was very strict.
I came from a family of five kids, and boy,
I thought I had it bad grown up right in
the older I get, the more I relate to that,
mynd goodness, I was so fortunate to have that discipline,
and I wouldn't be anywhere right now without that. So
I was very blessed.

Speaker 1 (02:08:11):
Well, considering you're still involved in the American military, commander
of the what four fifty ninth Aeromedical Staging Squadron, have
you seen the uptick in recruits? And you know, as
a corollary to that, if there's some parents out there with,
you know, young people that are getting to be of
military service age, put in a plug in and and

(02:08:32):
tell tell my listeners why you would recommend that as
a good choice for their young people.

Speaker 9 (02:08:39):
Boy, so ten years ago we had right around a
third of Americans aged eighteen to twenty four. We're eligible
just medically and physically deserving the military. It is now
down to like less than twenty three percent, oh jeez,
and lesson yeah, and less than zero point four percent
of the population, the overall American population. So your country

(02:09:01):
needs you. You can be part of a team, something
bigger than yourself. We started to see a huge increase
in recruiting in December of last year, just with the
policy changes. Thank goodness, seventy six million Americans got together
and decided to move things in a different direction, which
I was very happy with. You can take pride in
your service. We're heading in the right direction, we have

(02:09:24):
the right support, and then you can be part of
something bigger than yourself. So America needs you.

Speaker 1 (02:09:29):
And that seems to me to be the answer to
this lack of socialization. That children are stuck in front
of their devices all day long. They have no apparent
desire to interact with their fellow human beings. Isolationism. You know,
kids aren't getting married and have no desire to have
marriage or children anymore. But being part of that group,
being a critical element of a team, and having others

(02:09:51):
rely upon you as much as you're relying upon them,
that has got to be so I mean, just life
changing for the good.

Speaker 9 (02:10:00):
That lack of connection has everything to do with the
mental health crisis that we're having now. People need that
we have to get back to that. And I know
I take a lot of pride in my service. It's
been twenty four years now, and it's the thing that
I'm most proud of professionally, of my family, my three
children and my wife. What I'm most proud of personally

(02:10:21):
and then professionally it's my military service.

Speaker 1 (02:10:23):
Well, since you're the author of the book we're talking about, well,
we haven't really talked directly about the book. Be the
Weight behind the Sphere. Explain sort of a thumbnail sketch
of what the book is about and the audience you
directed the book toward.

Speaker 9 (02:10:39):
So be the Weight behind the Sphere. That's my personal
leadership ethos. I've been very blessed in my military career.
I've worked with some special operations, combat search and rescue,
with medical director for PJS. So that's the tip of
the spear. These are the men kicking down doors, taking
down ben Laden, rescuing the children in those Taie cave

(02:10:59):
systems in twenty eighteen. I'm a doctor. I don't take lives,
I save lives. I can't be the tip of the spear,
but I can be the weight behind that sphere. And
that's what our best resource is in this country. It's people,
it's teachers, it's coaches, it's volunteers and families. Every special operator,
those heroes have those in their lives. That's the weight

(02:11:22):
behind their spear. That's where America, that's what sets us
apart is a country. So I need people to engage
their communities, volunteer, coach, be a mentor. That is what's
going to help this generation make us stronger as a nation,
and that is our national security.

Speaker 1 (02:11:38):
And so your book is really like a motivational book
to get people who are maybe disconnected or not sharing
their knowledge base with others to actually get out there
and do something about it.

Speaker 9 (02:11:50):
Absolutely, this is my prescription to the problem, and I've
been very blessed. It's done quite well and was nominated
for Pure Surprised Well next month.

Speaker 1 (02:12:02):
Actually, oh congratulations on that. Well, you just sold yourself
a few more copies. Is based upon that nomination alone,
notwithstanding the message that you'd bring here. Now, would you
also recommend it for perhaps young adults as well?

Speaker 9 (02:12:17):
That was initially who I wrote it for. So the
whole first session of the book is just the leadership
accountabody taking, ownership, you know, decision making, those basics that
I see lacking in our current younger military and children
that are coming to my emergency departments, they're clearly lacking
those skills, and I'm hoping this is a great way

(02:12:39):
for them to learn. Got some great stories in there
from the er and some combat experiences, and I hope
those help some other people.

Speaker 1 (02:12:46):
And it looks like it had so far well apparently
so very well received, obviously with the pure Pulitzer Prize nomination.
Doctor uh, doctor colonel or colonel doctor. I think I
joked with you last time you're on about that order
of importance. My listeners will decide. Josh McConkie, author, A weight,
be the weight behind the spear. Your book is hooked
up to my blog and web page at fifty five

(02:13:08):
krs dot com. My producer edited, so it's easy for
my listeners to get a copy. What's all i'mcourage them
to do, and it's now in paperback form as well.
I can't thank you enough for what you are doing
with by Biden, but what you've done with writing the book,
your service to our country and your continued service through
your motivational efforts, and let's hope some people will buy
the book and maybe share it with their friends once

(02:13:29):
they get motivated to do to help out as well.

Speaker 9 (02:13:32):
Thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity to be
on the show.

Speaker 1 (02:13:35):
It's been a real pleasure. I'll keep my fingers crossed
on the awards or well deserved, doctor McConkie. It's been
a pleasure. It's eight eighteen here fifty five kr C
DE talk station. It's also a pleasure to recommend to
you Bud Herbert Motors. They're going to take great care
of you. Folks at Bud Herbert Motors are so proud
of well Bud Herbert. It's I guess great grandfather this juncture.
They're five generations family own operaated business. But excuse me.

(02:14:00):
Ud Hebert's motto was the most expensive tool you will
buy is a cheap one. That's because it will break,
it will conk out, and you'll end up having to
go through the process again, kind of like that stupid
thing that I did, which was go to the box
store to get a well a replacement for my push mower,
Yes powered mower. And when I went with Bud Herbert Motors,
I ended up and I elected to go with the

(02:14:22):
commercial grade Honda of Howard push mower. And I loved
when the Herberts, I can't remember if it was Jim
or John Herbert I was working with. You'll work with
one of the Herberts too, because it's a Herbert family
run operation. Said you know, this is the last mower
you'll ever.

Speaker 3 (02:14:35):
Have to buy.

Speaker 1 (02:14:36):
That's how well it's built. That's what Bud Herbert motor sells.
Only the finest, world class brands that carry John dear
x Mark Steel, Honda power equipment. You can get the
entire line of products at Budheerbertmotors dot com. Delivered to
my door, which was awesome. They service what they sell,
which is awesome. By the way, Herbert family, if you're

(02:14:57):
out there, you're going to be getting a call for
me about service in the mower's needs a sharpening and
an oil change. But don't you're just not going to
be working with professionals. When you go to the big
box stores. That guy in the aisle does not know
what he's talking about. Can't recommend the finest equipment because
they don't sell the finest equipment. You're in great hands
with Bud Herbert Motors, so check them out online Bud
Herbert Motors dot com and make the phone call. You'd

(02:15:19):
be glad you did, like I was five one three

only encourage that real motivational man, that man. Uh, I'm
gonna be here at the Kidney Foundations Kidney Walk twenty

(02:16:51):
twenty five. That'll be up next with my guest Brett Matters,
who donated a kidney living don't And that's really something
the gift of life. I mean, and I hope you
at leased an organ donor. I mean, you just need
to sign up to be an organ donor. And no,
they're not going to let you die to harvest your organs.
I've heard people make that suggestion before, and I I

(02:17:15):
have far more, far more confidence of medical professionals than
the ghoulish reality that they would. You know, if you're
if you're able to be saved, that they would let
you die just so they can get your organs. But
the gift of life can be given, and if you
are an organ donor, you may very well save a life.
You don't need it anymore after you die. So like
to make that point. And we're also gonna hear from

(02:17:37):
Sherry Poland early votings in Corey Bowma was in the
program early today. Let's make a statement to have to
have Purvall in city council. Let's get Corey to be
the leading vote getter in the primary. It's the top
two vote getters are in advanced to November in the election,
most notably for mayor here. And I think Corey is
going to do a great job. But after the insult
to the residents of Hyde Park that was handed down

(02:17:58):
by city Council the other day, and the insult to
every neighborhood in the city of Cincinnati with the collective
Communities mandate being heaped down upon them in spite of
what your local neighborhood and community might have wanted, maybe
it's time for a change. Maybe I would say definitely,
And what a statement it would be if Corey Bowman

(02:18:19):
was the leading vote getter and he out he got
more votes than aftab perval. Wouldn't that be a cool thing?
Corey Bowman dot com He's really a quality human being
and he does care about the city, and he cares
about well the residents of the city, unlike well those

your kitchen remodeling project. He has done all kinds of
kitchens over the past thirty five years, almost exclusively kitchens,
and he did our kitchen. I like to point out
we love what he was able to accomplish with our kitchen,
but we gutted the whole thing and started from scratch.
You don't have to go that far if you just
want to do cabinets, and countertops. He's a good man
to call for that as well. He's right there with
you from a initial design to final installation. Really easy

(02:19:24):
to talk to. He's a sweet guy. He's got wonderful ideas.
He's seen some really bad kitchens over the years, and
he's seen some really poor design over the years, not
from him, but he knows how to get around those challenges.
Maybe completely transform your kitchen into something that doesn't look
anything like what you've got right now. That's certainly capable.
But given all his experience, he's the right man to

(02:19:46):
work with. I can encourage it enough. Aplus with a
better business peer that's well deserved. To see some of

donated a kidney living donor. And that's really something. The
gift of life I mean, and I hope you released
an organ donor. I mean, you just need to sign
up to be an organ donor. And no, they're not
going to let you die to harvest your organs. I've
heard people make that suggestion before, and I have far more,

(02:21:56):
far more confidence and medical professionals than the ghoulish reality
that they would, you know, if you're able to be saved,
that they would let you die just so they can
get your organs. But the gift of life can be given,
and if you are an organ downer, you may very
well save a life. You don't need it anymore after
you die. She like to make that point. And we're

Deep Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (02:26:08):
It's coming to an eighty forty two fifty five KRCD
talk station. It's time for early voting and it's also
time to do the the regular shout out for the
need of poll workers. Sherry Polland from the Hamil County
Board of Elections, welcome back to the fifty five KRC
Morning Show. It's always nice having you on.

Speaker 8 (02:26:26):
Good morning, Brian, thank you for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:26:28):
Has there ever been a year I mean we have
you know, like early elections, we've got the fall elections.
We have on your elections. We have off your elections.
Has there ever been a year that you can remember
where you didn't need poll workers?

Speaker 11 (02:26:41):
No, no, no, We always put the call out for
poll workers. You know, Presidential elections are are actually the
easiest election to recruit poll workers because there's such a
high interest in the election. But even then, you know,
we recruit over and above what we need because the
turnout is so high and we know things can happen
and people might might drop at the last minute, So

(02:27:03):
we're always putting out the shout out for poll workers.

Speaker 1 (02:27:06):
Well, in an off cycle election, that maybe a better
time if you've never worked the polls, because the pressure's off.
There aren't people lined around the corner to come in
and vote, so not as much work to do. And
I know it's always a really nice experience. My wife
did it for years and years and years, and everyone
gets along and plays nicely and you know, resolve problems
and it's I think it's just a rewarding way to

(02:27:28):
serve the community.

Speaker 11 (02:27:30):
Oh I you know, one thousand percent agree. You know,
it's a great way to serve your community and to
find out a little bit more about how elections are administered.
You know that's been a hot topic in recent years
across their country, and I think, you know, what a
better way to learn how it works than to actually
be a part of it. So it's a great experience.

(02:27:50):
They poll workers are paid for their time. They make
a minimum of two hundred and twenty five dollars, you know,
so it's a nice little a nice little paycheck for
sur in your community.

Speaker 8 (02:28:01):
Now that's the total amount of pay. They do have
to come for training at our Board of Elections.

Speaker 11 (02:28:07):
We offer those classes, you know, mornings, afternoons, evenings and saturdays,
so don't fit anyone's schedules. So they do have to
attend in person training and then they go to their
assigned polling place the night before election day Monday night,
and set up and then work election day. And for
all of that work they're paid two hundred and twenty
five dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:28:27):
Yeah, and it's I think it's more about the experience.
I guess, you know, it would be a great idea
because you know, as a lot of folks, you know,
sometimes in my listening audience and generally in the public,
they have very little faith in the the election integrity.
But I think if you serve as a poll worker,
it might go a long way to prove that perhaps
you're wrong.

Speaker 11 (02:28:45):
Along those lines, yes, that's what I was mentioning before.
You know, it's a great way to find out, you know,
how elections work, and the poll workers play such a
crucial role. You know, we have a staff here at
the Board of Elections, you know, if forty four full
time employees and then we hire seasonal employees and they
really get you know, an inside look at it. But

(02:29:06):
we're not the faces of the board, you know, to
the general public. It's the poll workers that are. You know,
the ones that are out in the community administering the
election are actually the faces of the Board of Elections
to the community.

Speaker 8 (02:29:19):
And so you know, we need good people to come
out and fill those roles.

Speaker 1 (02:29:24):
Well. Along those lines, I want to thank you and
the folks at the Hamilton County Board of Elections. I've
voted early there and I vote an election day. You
guys do a great job. It is a well oiled machine.
I mean there have been days when it was I
think on the last presidential election, we did early voting
and you know there's that line out the door and

(02:29:45):
you get you roll your eyes like Oh my god,
I'm gonna be standing here all day long. No, you
move right through, You process the folks very quickly. It's efficient,
and you know, it's serviced with a smile. So I
salute the work that you're doing there.

Speaker 8 (02:29:58):
Oh, thank you. I appreciate j though.

Speaker 11 (02:30:00):
You know, there's a lot of hard work that goes in,
you know, to set up that early vote center and
make sure that it's running, you know, efficiently and securely,
and our team works really hard on doing that. You know,
we do mock elections where we have our staff go
and vote test ballots because we really want to test
the system, test our processes, and.

Speaker 8 (02:30:21):
Like you said, voting with a smile.

Speaker 11 (02:30:23):
You know, we believe that if voters have a good
experience while casting their ballot, that they're more likely to
believe in the outcome and in the integrity of the election.

Speaker 8 (02:30:32):
So we work really hard at that. So thank you
for recognizing.

Speaker 1 (02:30:36):
It just shows and that's why I wanted to make
sure I did thank you for that that excellent service.
Now we do have the special election primary election May sixth,
uh and early voting is going on. Now, what's your
finger on the pulse of the of the number of
people voting, is it normal? Is it low? Is it

(02:30:58):
as expected because a lot of people don't vote in
these in these primary and special elections.

Speaker 8 (02:31:04):
Yeah, it's it's low.

Speaker 11 (02:31:06):
It's been a low turnout so far, that is to
be expected. Something that's a little different about this spring
election is that there is a state wide issue on
the ballot issue too, So yeah, issue too. So every
voter in the state of Ohio has something to vote for,
something to vote on this election.

Speaker 8 (02:31:24):
So that's a little that's a little different.

Speaker 11 (02:31:25):
You know, a lot of times in odd numbered years
in this spring, it's usually not even a county wide election, right,
it's usually just a few political subdivisions having an election.
But this may everyone has something to vote on with
state issue too, So we encourage people to to you know,
to go on to our website vote Hamilton County, Ohio

(02:31:46):
dot GUV. They can take a look at their sample ballot,
you know, read over the ballot issue before going into vote,
so so they can become an informed voter. And then
there's also a few other jurisdictions that have some other
contests on the ballot. I think what we've heard a
lot about is the city of Cincinnati and having a primary, Yeah,

(02:32:07):
election for mayor.

Speaker 8 (02:32:08):
City of Cincinnati holds their primaries. It's a little different.

Speaker 11 (02:32:11):
Usually when we think of a primary, we think of
political parties that are nominating their candidates to appear on
the November ballot.

Speaker 8 (02:32:20):
But the city does things a little differently.

Speaker 11 (02:32:22):
They it's called a non partisan primary, so the candidates
do not have party affiliation next to their name.

Speaker 8 (02:32:28):
There's not a different ballot for the political parties.

Speaker 11 (02:32:33):
Every voter in the City of Cincinnati has just one
ballot and it has both the mayor's contest as well
as that.

Speaker 8 (02:32:40):
State issue too.

Speaker 11 (02:32:42):
And what triggered the primary election in Cincinnati is that
more than two candidates filed to run, and so we
had three candidates file for mayor.

Speaker 8 (02:32:53):
That's what triggers the primary election.

Speaker 11 (02:32:55):
The top two voteuters in the primary then move on
and we'll face each other to be elected in the
November general.

Speaker 1 (02:33:03):
Well, you boiled that down quite nicely, Sherry. Polling from
the Hamil County Board of Elections Vote Hamiltoncountyohio dot govz

on half all my listeners, thanks for the great work
