In the fifty five casey morning shuld In 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: addition to your phone calls, feel free to call. Oh look, 26 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: another terrorist act, this one at Old Dominion University. We 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: had the synagogue attack the other day, and God bless 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: the FBI for providing training classes to the synagogue and 29 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,279 Speaker 1: for the people who dispatched the would be murderer driving 30 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: through the synagogue and an automobile. Hmm. Something's commented on 31 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: yesterday about being prepared over at Old Dominion. The prosecutors 32 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: blame me Republicans and guns. Guns. Until there's a political 33 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: will to break the spell the cunt cult of gun globalism, 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: you will see more incidents like this. Really, that's because 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: guns exist. Well, ask the people at the Temple Israel 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: if they're happy about guns being around, because of course 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: the would be murderer was shot to death before he 38 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: was able to well murder people. So yeah, guns have 39 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: their place, and sometimes they have a great place, the 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: great equalizer, because I turned many times over the years 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: and thankfully for me a perfect illustration of happy that 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: I had a handgun at one point. Never thought I'd 43 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: have to pull that thing out in self defense. It 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: does happen, and you know, you never know the moment 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: in time when you may need it. All I can 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: say is, thank God we've got them. Tech Friday Day've 47 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: had her up coming up at six thirty. Iran well 48 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: engaged in malware attacks. This is a really scary thing 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: that happened the other day. And you know, in addition 50 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: to acts of terrorism involving guns and automobiles, we need 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: to ban Joe. We need to get rid of automobiles. 52 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: That's the solution, isn't it. We enable people to use 53 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: automobiles as terrorist mechanisms and killing people. We've seen this 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: all over the world. We need to get rid of them. 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Nobody's ever made that argument anyway. Malware attacks from the Iranians. 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: This giant, it's a company called Striker, is an off 57 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: it's completely offline, hit by a what was called a 58 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: wiper malware attack. We'll learn the details from Tech Friday's 59 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. This company produces products like surgical and neurotechnology equipment. 60 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: Fifty three thousand employees. It's a fortune five hundred company, 61 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: twenty two point six billion sales. The terrorists, the Iranian hackers, 62 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: stole fifty terabytes of data data before wiping out tens 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: of thousands of systems and servers across the network. Two 64 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: hundred thousand systems plus completely wiped away, presumably with a keystroke. 65 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Now you may think that doesn't hurt me, This is 66 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: just one of a whole lot of hacking incidents going 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: on in the world. But you know what, what if 68 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: that was the electric grid? What if it was something 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: connected to what you and I need every single day 70 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: to live our lives. Frightening stuff, frightening stuff, and I 71 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: don't know what there is we can do about it ever. Vigilant, 72 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: of course, I think I would like to think that 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: dedicated resources and our governments Thurrow across the board Ohio, State, local, 74 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: and federal are all diligently working to make sure they're 75 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: a head of hackers. But Genie, maybe out of the 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: bottle already. Local man hit by bank imposter scam. That's 77 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: topic number two with Dave and then find at Meta 78 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: has been suit over privacy of smart glasses and Big 79 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: Brothers watching, particularly when you help out wearing smart glasses. 80 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: We'll find out what the lawsuit's all about. Coming up 81 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: again beating at six thirty Private citizen, former Congressman Brad 82 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: wins or Billion Studio at seven oh five. Yay, I'm 83 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: glad we have Brad Winzer'm coming in and talk about 84 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. I'll get his thoughts 85 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: about you know, I think the clock is ticking and 86 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: there's again the War Powers Resolution sixty day clock ticking 87 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: if there's no authorization, if there's no declaration of war, 88 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: if there's no you know expression from Congress, a sixty 89 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: day TikTok, TikTok with a thirty day extension, you got 90 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: ninety days to get it done. You got to pull 91 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: the troops out. Is that going to happen? And then ultimately, 92 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of information and talking about 93 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: the real problem with Iran and the shutting down of 94 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: straight of Hormoz has really brought this to everyone's attention, 95 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: considering it has had a massive global impact. Now I'd 96 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: like to think that the massive global impact. Everyone in 97 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: the world has been affected by this. Price of oil 98 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: alone going up impacts every single man, woman, a chot 99 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: on the planet. We need it to survive. So if 100 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: the entire world has been disrupted to the negative, we 101 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: have nothing but bad news coming out because of the 102 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: actions of Iran. Oh, No, it's the United States of 103 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: America and Israel who started all this. That's why Hormuz 104 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: is shut down. No, it's beyond that. They're proxy wars 105 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: with terrorism. There direct threats to the shipping lanes had 106 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: been going on for years and years. There's a great 107 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: article about it. I think it was a Kim Strassel 108 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: in Today's Wall Street Journal points it out risk. It's 109 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: like insurance risk. There's a risk of something bad going down, 110 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: the premium is going to be a little bit higher. 111 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: It's like your home, what's the likelihood of fire? They 112 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: have actuaries, it'll tell exactly how likely it is your 113 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: home's going to have a fire. That's why your premium 114 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: is based what it is. They get profit and they 115 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: get to cover their losses when they have to pay 116 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: out acclaim. But profits obviously cover all the losses they 117 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: got to pay out actuaries. Figure out the probability. Same 118 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: damn thing goes for ships going through the strait of 119 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: Horror moves. If there is a possibility, even if it's small, 120 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: that a terrorist action is going to bring the straight 121 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: of horror moves of that ship to the bottom of 122 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: the sea, you're paying for it, and the numbers are calculated. 123 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: There are figures available for you to see what the 124 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: impact is. That impact is paid for us every single day, 125 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: regardless of whether there's a conflict between Israel, United States 126 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: and Iran or not. Right alone, gives Iran tremendous amount 127 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: of power over the global oil industry, and they've drawn 128 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: a lot in the sound. Apparently the cardboard paper cutout 129 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: of the new Iranian Supreme Leader issued statement the other 130 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: day that yeah, we're gonna use it as leverage. Why 131 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: in the hell wouldn't we What other leverage do they have? 132 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Write nothing? But what do we see bubbling out of 133 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: all this? Looks like all the countries in the area 134 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: are piling up against Iran. Maybe they're finally woken up 135 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: to the reality as a consequence of this, maybe illegal war, 136 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: but one that's going on anyway, that you know what, 137 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: this is a golden opportunity for us to rid ourselves 138 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: of the pestilence it is Iran and its impact on 139 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: our doing business every day. Wouldn't it be nice to 140 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: rebuild and bring back all the tourism that we are enjoying. 141 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: Up until about five minutes ago, the respect in the 142 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: world had gone up got the Abraham Accords were suggesting 143 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: that there is going to be some sustained peace in 144 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: the region, and that idea was potentially growing. Long come 145 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: the Iranians, right, we got this thorn in our side 146 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: that we cannot get rid of. There will never be 147 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: regime change in Iran. They have a stranglehold over the people. 148 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know what the people actually believe in 149 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: or not. Maybe they're all about the supreme leader. Well, 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: actions have consequences, and I suppose maybe long term we'll 151 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: look back on this and it be maybe a moment 152 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: of triumph. Can't guarantee that, but imagine if you will 153 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: take yourself out of the realm of the current geopolitical 154 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: problems that we're all facing. If Iran wasn't there as 155 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: a threat, what's left. No one's funding has Balah or Hamas. 156 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: I suppose the Chinese or the Russians could step in 157 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: and fund them themselves, but that hurts them. I mean 158 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: they've been given waivers of the tariffs so they can 159 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: get the oil into Russia. That makes sense, doesn't it. 160 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: So even Russia and China would benefit from a world 161 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: without Iran because they would get their well oil shipped 162 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: like the rest of us. So anyway, you can feel 163 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: free to call a comment five one three, seven, four 164 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three Talk time 165 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T Funds. More about this 166 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: dominion shooting. Yeah, they saw this guy a long time ago. 167 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: Oh look, apparently been convicted.

And good morning Paul at five one three 184 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: hundred two three ta pound five fifty on AT and 185 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: T phone before we dive on into some of the 186 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: details of this old Dominion shooting. Anyway, Terry the pilot, 187 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: Terry long time does speak man. Great to hear from 188 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: you this morning. 189 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: It's good to be retired. But for some reason I 190 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: still wake up at four in the morning. 191 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, well, and and then you go to the 192 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: bathroom and you go back to bed. 193 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 4: Well, usually I do that, but not this morning. 194 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this professor named Alan Dershowitz. 195 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 5: Have you ever heard of him? 196 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: Of course I have. 197 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a I. 198 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 3: Guess he's a lawyer, a professor emeritus, and a constitutional 199 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 3: expert of some sort. But he's got a different viewpoint 200 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: than Judse Nepolitano. 201 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: People. 202 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: A lot of people do. 203 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 4: Terry. 204 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: I found an article in Newsmax that says, quote, every 205 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: Democratic president since has taken some military actions without congressional approval. 206 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Of course, I have said, we haven't had World War 207 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: two decision. 208 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 3: So I think the president's decision to level a surprise attack, 209 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: one that doesn't permit for Congress to have a debate 210 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: about it, is completely lawful, completely constitutional, and correct in 211 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 3: terms of national interest of the United States. 212 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. I've heard that before many times. And then you 213 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: look over to the other side of the legal argument. 214 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: You have people equally wedded to the thought that this 215 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: is not lawful absent congressional approval. So who's right. We 216 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: live in a world where there are multiple versions and 217 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: interpretations of the Constitution. Hell, we're still wrestling over what 218 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment means, and we are wrestling and struggling 219 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: with the fact of the Fourth Amendment doesn't even exist anymore. 220 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: For the most part, Well, we make the arguments, we 221 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: have the discussions, we have the debate, and we go 222 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: back to the fact that you're right, and Drschwitz is right, 223 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: and history demonstrates objectively that there's been no declaration of 224 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: war since World War Two, And yet how many military 225 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: conflicts and quote unquote wars have we been in? Call 226 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: them a police action. I say, when two sides of 227 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: a different flag are shooting each other, it's. 228 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 4: War, that's true. 229 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: But that Congress doesn't declare a war, then therefore it's 230 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: not a war. 231 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: That's good, right. 232 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: I think after listening to Thomas Mancy last week saying, well, 233 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: president whoever it is, to go to Congress and have 234 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,599 Speaker 3: a discussion with them, the Congress has to give the 235 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 3: approval to use military force, right, I think that's ultimately wrong. 236 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: It's wrong in the tradition, it's wrong in the constitution. 237 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: Now Congress can decide whether to declare war or not. 238 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 3: But until the war power is that which Dershuish may 239 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 3: brought up, it may not even be constitutional. 240 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: I would say it's not. It is an unconstitutional delegation 241 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: of the war powers declaration to a president, even though 242 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: for a limited basis there's lots of case law on that. 243 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: We go back to the Reagan line. It in veto, Oh, 244 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: joy of joys, wouldn't be great if the president could 245 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: scratch out appropriations that are for nonsensical purpose. Like literally 246 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: everything that the doge for that doge was looking at. Sorry, 247 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: you can't give away congressional authority. Power of the purse 248 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: rests exclusively with Congress. 249 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: Ergo. 250 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: You can't delegate a line on in vita. This is 251 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: the same thing. What does let's say right there, the 252 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: power to declare war rests with Congress war powers declaration, 253 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: a war powers resolution delegates a portion of that power 254 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: has never been tested in court. But the same argument applies. 255 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: So if the court would ultimately say remains unknown, but 256 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: I would argue that it is not constitutional. Ergo. The 257 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: only thing left is the declaration of warring of the constitution. HM. 258 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 3: Well, the ultimate control of where the president's war making 259 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: power is Congress deciding to fund it or not. 260 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: That is correct as well. And what do we do 261 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: with Vietnam? 262 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 7: Right? 263 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: We started out what was it? Eisenhower trum? Anyway, advisors 264 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: go in Kennedy inherits it. Things start ramping up over time, 265 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: and what does Congress do? Nothing by way of authorization, 266 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: nothing by way of declaration. But they kept funding it, 267 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: and no one raised the hand and said, wait a second, 268 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: is this right? Fifty five thousand lives later, we pull 269 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: out and guess what, it didn't go real well, but 270 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, we'll judge historial judge that accordingly, and historial 271 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: judge what's going on in the Middle East accordingly. 272 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: I remember reading about the Whiskey Rebellion. I can imagine 273 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 3: George Washing and going to Congress. Hey, we got these 274 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: problems up there in Pennsylvania. Do you mind if I 275 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: take some troops over there and try to squash ah Terry? 276 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: And what are you focusing on? Congressional dysfunction? And I 277 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: don't think the founding fathers anticipated the level of animosity 278 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: or even a concept like Trump derangement syndrome back then, 279 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: welcome to the two party system, Welcome to well in 280 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: action across the board. That's the problem we face. And 281 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: this is an undeniable reality. So when if you are 282 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: springing from the proposition that Congress exclusively has the power 283 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: to declare war and we're not getting into some semantical 284 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: argument over whether we're engaged in a war or not, 285 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: because I think definitionally we are, then you got to 286 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: look at, hmm, what's to be done about it? Well, 287 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: if you look at the War Power's resolution, it does 288 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: seem to provide the relief mechanism that a dysfunctional Congress 289 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: might run into President has sixty days. Basically, now you 290 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: got that whole imminent threat argument. Many on the one 291 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: side are saying there was no eminent threat. We've been 292 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: dealing with the quote unquote threat from the Iranians since 293 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: they took over the government in nineteen seventy nine. They've 294 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: killed our people, they held us hostage, they've blown up boats. Obviously, 295 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: ongoing conflict is in an imminent threat to the United 296 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: States of America. Wrestle and talk about it amongst yourselves. 297 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: We're never going to resolve that problem. But that was 298 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: the basis upon which he entered and that's the window 299 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: that the War Powers Resolution gives them. So without the 300 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: Warpowers Resolution, I think we're stuck with this whole idea 301 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: that Congress must declare war or the president can't do 302 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: anything unless the old adage, the hun is coming over 303 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the hill and it requires the chief executive or the 304 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: Commander in chief of the United States military to act 305 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: immediately to stop the threat to America. Lots of complications 306 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: and layers, but yes, the big problem congressional dysfunction. Take 307 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: us out of the war and look at anything else. 308 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: What are you left with? Congressional dysfunction? Department Homeland Security 309 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: has not yet been funded. We're in a very problematic 310 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: period of time here, the ripple effect from the not 311 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: war or whatever obviously taken root and terrorist action. We 312 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: all talked about this probably happening. Department of Homeland Security 313 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: already warning about potential drones sits out in California or whatever. 314 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: But look old Dominion shooting. We got the attack on 315 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: the synagogue. This has been going on for a long time, 316 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: expected to ramp up. Yeah, what's Congress doing about it? 317 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: Later on the thirty five Kurrissy Morning Shop after Congress 318 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: from Brad Winsor Robert Sprague running for Secretary of State. 319 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: Marcel Sturbich has been on the program. That's his running me. 320 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: But the Republican Party already endorsed Robert Sprague. I have 321 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: to ask him about what his thoughts are on the 322 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: even though they're nearer to his benefit. What his feelings 323 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: are about the party endorsing in advance of the primary. 324 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: Should only citizens be allowed to vote a high elections? 325 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: I'll be going on, I'll be going over that with 326 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: Robert Spragg. That's at eight oh five, and then we'll 327 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: hear from Jack Windsor, editor in chief the How President 328 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: Network at AY thirty five twenty six.

No, I didn't post it. 357 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, you should send it. 358 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: And the article even points out I am self deprecating 359 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: and I don't tooting my own harmless stuff. I had 360 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: a really hard time even posting the results of the 361 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Barrett Media survey. But I am strongly encouraged by my 362 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: lords and masters to do things like that for the 363 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: purposes of promoting the show. But I'm not a self 364 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: promotion guy. 365 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 8: So but if you just have Joe put it up, 366 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 8: put it up on your website, well, okay. 367 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: Okay, I like his prerogative. I don't touch the fifty 368 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: five care Sie Morning Show website that is the exclusive 369 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: purview of Joe Strecker, and God bless. 370 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 4: Him for that. 371 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 8: We'll have him do it because I'd like to read it. Anyway. 372 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 8: I wanted to talk speaking of Joe, I heard you mention, 373 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 8: oh gosh, I don't know it was a week or 374 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 8: a week and a half ago, about how maybe my 375 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 8: way of thinking was rapping off on him. As far 376 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 8: as Venezuela, going into Venezuela about the oil, yeah, I'm 377 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 8: definitely not saying that's the only reason we went in there. 378 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 8: I think there's going to be some voter fraud found 379 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 8: there too, but that's down the road. 380 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: But I'm going to ask Brag about computer voting. I mean, 381 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: he is all about paper, at least accorded to with 382 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: campaign materials, So I am going to ask him about 383 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: computer voting. So if that, I hope that helps Marien. 384 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, good, well, real quick. Florida passed a bill. Well 385 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 8: they it's in legislation and it hasn't been signed by 386 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 8: DeSantis yet, but they're they're going about it themselves in Florida. 387 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 8: It's HP oh GOSHN one nine nine or nine something 388 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 8: like that. But anyway, I don't have that right in 389 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 8: front of me, but they are putting their own rules 390 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 8: in place. But I could digress. I go back to 391 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 8: Venezuela and the oil. Now, it's interesting because with the 392 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 8: strait up, our news being our mouse being a you know, 393 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 8: area of conflict, they are, We're able to get oil 394 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 8: from Venezuela through the Caribbean right to our Gulf coast 395 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 8: into Texas and Brownsville specifically in Louisiana. So I think 396 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 8: that that was very strategic on Trump's part to go 397 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 8: there first. Yeah, because now we can secure a lot 398 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 8: of that oil and then we can refine it and 399 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 8: give it back to them. Well, and the reason they 400 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 8: haven't profited from it so much just because the crud 401 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 8: is so thick and that we have the actual we 402 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 8: spent billions on the ability to refine their crew, which 403 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 8: is like tar. So Chevron is going to be in 404 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 8: there doing that, which I think is going to benefit 405 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 8: a lot of people. 406 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: Well, and don't overlook the fact that Donald Trump's first 407 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: term all the above energy strategy and his current continuation 408 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: of that has provided an abundance of additional oil, further 409 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: stabilizing the disruption caused by the Iranians shutting down the 410 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: straight of Hormuz Marine. What do you think the price 411 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: of oil would be right now if we were not 412 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: a net exporter like we used to be, it. 413 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 8: Was you'd being pretty well off if you were. 414 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 7: Invested in some oils damn Street. 415 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 8: Yeah, because the price is going up. 416 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to go out. 417 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 8: Chevron's going to be a good thing. So I don't 418 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 8: know if you saw that picture that went viral of 419 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 8: that little she was a Secret Service agent and Trump 420 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 8: was driving by, and she looked to be twelve years old, 421 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 8: and so that went viral because she's all dressed in 422 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 8: her her little suit and her microphone and all that 423 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 8: in her earbud. But the picture went viral, and I'm 424 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 8: looking at it and I'm thinking, why is this getting 425 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 8: so much attention? Why this is very odd? But you 426 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 8: look above her and there's a Chevron sign. She's in 427 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 8: front of a gas station and it's Chevron, and and 428 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 8: I think that's, well, you know, my way my mind works. 429 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 8: I know that's that's what that was all about. But 430 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 8: I also wanted to backtrack on a couple of things 431 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 8: that I called about. Remember one, I said that when 432 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 8: Fulton County, Georgia, when we were there for the electing 433 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 8: fraud and that Arizona would be next. Well, they're finding 434 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 8: things in Maricopa County right now in Arizona, and I 435 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 8: think Pennsylvania is going to be next in Wisconsin. So 436 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 8: we need to look for those to come about. But 437 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 8: John Solomon has come out and he said within the 438 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 8: next two done days, excuse me, in the next ten days, 439 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 8: a lot of information is going to be coming out 440 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 8: about that photo fraud. 441 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: It's a trickle, isn't it marine And you know what 442 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: else is going to be coming out more and more 443 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: like Minnesota and Los Angeles and other places they're finding 444 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: epic fraud. It takes time. You got to have someone 445 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: like an administration with the willingness to go after it 446 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: to make it stop. And that's what we're seeing right now. 447 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: How long will it take to find the evidence? A while? 448 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: Keep your popcorn out wait for it. It's going on 449 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: out there everywhere. If you can have nine plus billion 450 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: dollars in fraud in one city under a couple of 451 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: different federal programs, and there are hundreds of federal programs, 452 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: how bad do you think it is out in the 453 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: rest of the country. Right It's terrible and that may 454 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: be the case with voter fraud as well. No one's 455 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: bothered to look into it until now. Oh, it rarely 456 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: ever happens, right Maureen. Well, if it can rarely happen, 457 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: then that's a reason to go look into it as well. 458 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: It should never happen. Five thirty five right now, if 459 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: you have KRSD talk station, your calls or stacks the. 460 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: Talk station, can you play John the Fishermen. 461 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: Five forty always the answer yes at this moment in time. 462 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: And if you about Kars Morning Show, Happy Friday to 463 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: you always invite phone calls, Yeah, five eighty two to 464 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: three talk pound five to fifty on AT and T phones. 465 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: First little primus for Joe Strackord, messinground with that output 466 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: volume Ajoel.

Oh, it looks like Tom's 475 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 1: calling him this morning. But first, Centreville residents woke up 476 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: last week to find a naked guy. Multiple residents inside 477 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: their house cornered police. Fairfax County Police Department investigating four 478 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: different home burglaries curried between March five and eighth and 479 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: the London Town neighborhood, all possibly committed by the same 480 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: guy naked at least in two cases.

Suspect fled before officers got there. Detectives 485 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: who took over the investigation looking around the area, didn't 486 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: couldn't find the guy. Then they learned that two other 487 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: homes in the same neighborhood also burglarized.

Be nice to have one, though, castle doctrine. 492 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: That guy might have not been bothering anybody else from 493 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: that moment in time afterwards, just throwing it in there. 494 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: Sorry editorial comments.

In addition to conducting a targeted enforcement 505 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: investigation in the area, police asking residents to check home 506 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: or vehicle security footage, of course, for any suspicious activity 507 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: and to let the cops know about it.

Happy 512 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: Friday to You're glad to hear from. 513 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 4: You, Brian. 514 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 9: Good luck with your treatment very much. 515 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. 516 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 9: Now. I think Judge Politana, he was so wrong on 517 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 9: us blowing up these drug boats. It might have been 518 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,959 Speaker 9: a rouge, but we did get that oil flowing out 519 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 9: of Venezuela, which we need. We need it right this moment. Also, 520 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 9: I think Alberta oil is going to start flowing, and 521 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 9: I think they're going to break away from the rest 522 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 9: of Canada because there's no minefield they have to go 523 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 9: through to get that oil down to the United States. 524 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 9: They don't have any pipeline going east and the west, 525 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 9: so were there only resources to get that out of 526 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 9: that country. So without the United States fighting the rest 527 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 9: of the world's problems, you know, there's no hope for 528 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 9: the rest of the world. 529 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: Perhaps in what way was he wrong? He didn't comment 530 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: about the success or failure of blowing up drug boats. 531 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: He talked about the legality, which is a completely different discussion. 532 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: This is where we kind of part company. There's a 533 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: question of a discussion of the law, and then there's 534 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: a question of the practical implications, like will the practical 535 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: implications of the war where IRN come out and in 536 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: you're to everyone's benefit. I'm guessing yes, if we're successful, 537 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: including the benefit of everybody in the region, does it 538 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: make it lawful? Completely different discussion. Does a drug boat 539 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred miles away represent an imminent threat justifying military 540 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: action against that drug boat suspected drug boat? I personally 541 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,239 Speaker 1: don't think it does. Will that drug boat ultimately make 542 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: it to the shores of the United States of America 543 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: where drugs will be distributed, Probably, But you know what, 544 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: you got fifteen hundred miles where once they get into 545 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: US waters, you have a better chance of making the 546 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: argument that it is justifiable to blow them up because 547 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: it look it's imminent. It's right there. As I mentioned 548 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: in the last segment, the hun's coming over the hill, 549 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't think the bottle time has ever come in 550 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: about the outcome. It's a separate, completely separate discussion. That's 551 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: what the law is all about. And sometimes you get 552 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: cases that go your way and sometimes you don't. Outcome 553 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: maybe a completely separate discussion. Well, thank god he ignored 554 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: the law, because look, the world's a much better place 555 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: for it. Thank god he ignored the law because look, 556 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't die from fentanyl coming in 557 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: from US South America and our friends down there, right 558 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: make that argument all day long, and you're right on that. 559 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: Does it make it lawful? Completely different question five forty 560 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: five right now fifty five k See these talk station 561 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: got some more stupid after these words. 562 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 2: It's not bad to deal with.

Great show lined up thanks to Executi 684 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: producer in and a research guru all around great guy, 685 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: Joe Strecker. A tech Friday coming to the bottom of 686 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: the hour of the Iranian malware attack and a frightening, 687 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: frightening thing considering the gravity of that attack and how 688 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: much data they were able to just click into the ether. 689 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: One business impact which had a ripple effect profound, but 690 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: maybe didn't hit you directly. I'm just worried about something bigger. 691 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: We've got so many announcements and reports over the years 692 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: about the nefarious forces in the world, and lord knows 693 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them out there infiltrating some really 694 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: critical systems like maybe the electric grid. Yeah, there's a 695 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 1: frightening thing. Of course, with all these new terrorist actions 696 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: breaking out, another one just yesterday, it's something to really 697 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: concern yourself about. At least I think it's worthwhile planning ahead, 698 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: which thankfully the Temple Israel. Temple or Temple Israel did 699 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: they had an active shooter plan in place, and so 700 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: when the guy rove through the front door they're building, 701 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: attempting to kill people, they dispatched him. They rendered him dead. 702 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: I think was the words were used in that separate 703 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: terrorist incident at Old Dominion the other day. Anyway, be prepared, 704 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: please Congressman Winstrop in studio Robert Sprague for the whole 705 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour with Robert Sprague or with Congressman Winstrop former. 706 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: Now it's private citizen Robert Sprague on. He's running for 707 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, Marcel Sturbage his challenger. He's going to 708 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 1: be on for one long segment at eight to five, 709 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: follow by Jack wins Or, editor in chief the How 710 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: Press Network. Will get his updates on things in the state, 711 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: including Bigfoot. He has been reporting on that lately. Apparently 712 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: people think Bigfoot's alive, although apparently there's a new documentary out. 713 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: I just got to get this in here. It's called 714 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: Capturing Bigfoot. Yeah, you've all been due the Bigfoot film 715 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: that you all remember, the Striding Bigfoot, filmed by Robert Pattison. 716 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: They have new evidence that that was all a lie 717 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: and his son is coming out what Yeah, apparently a 718 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: lot of money being made on the perpetua perpetuating the 719 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 1: myth that there is a big foot out there anyway. 720 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: Just one of the topics with Jack windsor five one 721 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: three seven for nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty 722 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: two three talk found fifty on AT and T phone 723 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: and it gave credit to Kim Strassel, and I should 724 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: have given it to Peter Navarro. The real cost of 725 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: the straight of hoorn moves being subject to the Iranian shutdown, 726 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: which it has been for years and years, baked into 727 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: the global price of oil all the time, and so 728 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: ignoring the legal problems that we may be discussed on 729 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: whether or not it was a lawful action against Iran, 730 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: the practical implications may prove to be globally successful and 731 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: globally stabilizing. And I note and you need to keep 732 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: this in mind. Just yesterday the UN, the UN overwhelmingly 733 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: passed a resolution condemning the Iranians and their attack on 734 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: those countries surrounding Israel. Resolution twenty eight seventy one was 735 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: submitted by bah ray In on behalf of the Gulf 736 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: Cooperation Council, co sponsored by one hundred and thirty five countries, 737 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: condemning unequivocally in the strongest terms Iran attacking the region, 738 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 1: no mention of Israel. It even references another resolution that 739 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: excoriated Iran back in nineteen eighty four, when Iran was 740 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: attacking shipping. Oh, I guess this has been going on 741 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,800 Speaker 1: for a while. One hundred and thirty five countries And 742 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: what did China and Russian do they have a veto power? 743 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: They abstained? Huh, Well, wait a second, is this the 744 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: world waking up to the reality that a world without 745 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: Iran and terrorism is going to be a better place 746 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: for everyone. I think we can draw that conclusion over 747 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: to the incomparable Kim Strassel Today's Trump Trump's energy triumph. 748 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: Fast forward a little bit. The Undermine America crowd describes 749 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormus as an oil 750 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: shock that's spiraling and chaotic and the worst in history. 751 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: It seems to have evaded this crew that Iran's bombardment 752 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: a peaceful trading vessels is yet more justification of US strikes. 753 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: Iran has been using energy threads to manipulate geopolitics for 754 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: decades and won't stop until it's fully defanged. Maybe yesterday's 755 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: un vote is a point is pointing that out to 756 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: Iran in spite of the new Supreme leader saying, yes, 757 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: we're going to use the closure of the state of 758 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: hormuves as leverage. That's like the only leverage they really 759 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: have and have been using it for a long time. 760 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 1: Back to her, they're blaming the administration, in particular Energy 761 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Bargham, who Politico 762 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: described as the vaunted team in danger of fumbling the 763 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: biggest energy crisis of Donald Trump's second term. The go 764 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: to quote comes from Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who rented 765 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: that on the straits of Hormuz, they had no plan, 766 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 1: which is unforgivable because this part of the disaster was 767 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent foreseeable. Okay, let's talk about plans. That 768 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: the US was finally in a position to disarm iron 769 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: is largely thanks to the plan mister Trump initiated in 770 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 1: his first term. Here you go to gain energy independence, 771 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: which his team is now turning into energy dominance. Trump's 772 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: policies turbocharged a shale revolution that made the US a 773 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: net export of petroleum products and the world's second largest 774 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: exporter of natural gas. Alongside was Trump's plan to foster 775 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: economic security ties in the region against shared threads like Iran. 776 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: The ideals like the Abraham Accords. We are no longer 777 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: hostage to Middle East fossil fuel threats, which gives US 778 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 1: room to weather temporary hormones disruptions. Domestic gas prices of spike, 779 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: but are still notably lower than highs during Joe Biden's term. 780 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: Remember that thanks to growing US exports, our allies are 781 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 1: better positions against fallout, and golf actors are working alongside 782 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: the US to mitigate Iran's blockade. Some of us remember 783 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 1: Opek embargo days no more. The biggest threat to this 784 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: plan was always the Biden administration, which halted to liquefied 785 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: natural gas exports, shuttered Alaskan and golf drilling, snubbed Middle 786 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: East partners, pressed investors, and abandoned fossil fuel projects, and 787 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: dispatched John Kerry to kill energy deals, all in the 788 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: name of climate change. These would also be the folks 789 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: who sold off the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to win an 790 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,240 Speaker 1: election remember that Joe Biden got price of gasoline necessarily 791 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,359 Speaker 1: went up because of his policies. Well, let's release oil 792 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: from the strategy petroleum deserved to make my term look better. 793 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 1: Want to send real fear through the energy market's two words. 794 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: Jennifer Graham Holme, the Energy secretary who dedicated four years 795 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: to ensuring your washing machine used fewer BTUs. Speaking of secretaries, 796 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: so it might surprise the press to discover that the 797 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: heads of the Energy and Interior aren't tasked with countering 798 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: Iranian minds. That's the Pentagon's job. Their job is to 799 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: mitigate fallout from temporary supply disruptions, which yes, were expected 800 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: thanks to the energy dominance policy. In a year of 801 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: building real partnerships with real energy players, they've moved. They 802 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: have more levers to pull. Mister Wright has been on 803 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 1: the phone daily with Middle East energy ministers, ties possibly 804 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: thanks to early travel to the region, including the five 805 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: days he spent with Saudi energy chief Abdullah Zi's Ben Salmon, 806 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: who with whom he struck a landmark civil nuclear energy 807 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: deal that allowed the US to position regional players for 808 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: possible conflict. That beats an awkward Biden first bump the 809 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: International Energy Agency announced it's releasing the largest volume of 810 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,959 Speaker 1: emergency oil reserves in history, four hundred million barrels, after 811 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: mister Wright rallied member nations to the need. Right, it's 812 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: been pressing the IEA for over a year to drop 813 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: its climate obsessions and to get serious about its fossil 814 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: fuel mandate, and that work is paying off. US has 815 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: been refilling the spr with money. This is great, with 816 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: money earmarked in last year's reconciliation build a plan, it 817 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,919 Speaker 1: will now release one hundred and seventy two million barrel 818 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: And here's a fun aside. Kimberly Straussel points out, rather 819 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: than sell it straight as the Biden team did, Right 820 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: is exchanging it on the market for futures contracts which 821 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: are currently vetting, prices will fall. This means that your 822 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: strategic patrolum oil reserve will get back two hundred million 823 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 1: barrels for the price of one hundred and seventy two million. 824 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: How refreshing an energy secretary who understands energy markets. Mister Burgham, 825 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: fresh off expanding a Venezuela US energy partnership, is flying 826 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: to Japan to reassure Pacific allies that American export capacity 827 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,479 Speaker 1: is expanding dramatically. He's keeping the machinery running to follow 828 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: through on his promises. Interior this week announce forty seven 829 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 1: million dollars in bids from a second Gulf of Mexico 830 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: lease sale. It's issued six thousand permits for oil and 831 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: gas leasing the past year alone, more than the Biden 832 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: administration did in four years. Hormos is causing disruptions, but 833 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: those are likely to be short lived. As the US 834 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: gains ground against the Iron's offensive capabilities, it can devote 835 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: more assets to restoring shipping lanes. Mister Wright yesterday explained 836 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: it as quote short term pain for the long term 837 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 1: gain close quote of denying Iran the ability to hold 838 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: the world hostage whenever it wants, indeed, the ability to 839 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: do it all, and whether the short term a short 840 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: term will be thanks to a Trump team that had 841 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: a clear eyed, a multifaceted fossil fuel energy plant. And 842 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: I go back to the point I made the last 843 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: segment or last hour we do net export, and I 844 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: never thought I would live to see that day. After 845 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: I live through the OPAC embargo back in the seventy three, 846 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 1: I remember a lot of it. Peak oil. We don't 847 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: have any more oil underneath the surface of the ground. 848 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god, we're gonna run out. We need to 849 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: do something about this global warming. We're a net exporter, 850 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: and it softened the blow of anything that might unfold 851 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: the Middle East. Yes, the price can go up when 852 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: op messes around, when Irana messes around on the strait 853 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: of hormones, but not as bad a disruption as the 854 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: world would be feeling if we weren't producing all this 855 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: natural gas and oil ourselves. And most notably, was it 856 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: in play that he put into action because of the 857 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: oil issues? Did he go invade Venezuela for the purposes 858 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 1: of making sure that oil was well reached the markets 859 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: that it could be refined. Somebody is investing three hundred 860 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 1: billion dollars in a brand new oil refinery. Mmmmm, first 861 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 1: one in fifty years. I guess they see stability down 862 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: the road, and of course, processing that tar like substance 863 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: they get out of Venezuela might require a new refinery. 864 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: Loreene six seventeen fifty five KC detalk station pats online, 865 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: Patrin the light holding for a moment.

I hope I survived too, 879 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 1: fat I really do. 880 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 9: That was kind of a freudyet, but I know I've 881 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 9: got a friend that's going through treatment right now too, 882 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 9: and it's it's not always a good day the next 883 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 9: day or two. 884 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: No, no, no, But you know what, I'll go out 885 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 1: today and sure, unfortunately, today's the chemo bag, which only 886 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: takes twenty minutes as opposed to yesterday. I was there 887 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: for four hours. But I look around the room and 888 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: I consider myself a blessed, blessed man. There are so 889 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: many people struggling with cancer who have it so much 890 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: worse than I do, and so it's a humbling experience. 891 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: And of course, you know, getting a cancer diagnosis sucks, 892 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: but I always like to joke about it. I guess 893 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: I got the lotto ticket winner in terms of cancer diagnosis. 894 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: So I am not in as bad as shape as 895 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: so many in prayers, and God bless each and every 896 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: one of those cancer strugglering survivors out there. 897 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 11: Well, you're still in the ring, and that's what counts. 898 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: Thanks. 899 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 4: Man. 900 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 11: You know one of the things right now that's just 901 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 11: astounding about our current administration, all the negative aside, we 902 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 11: have a businessman that knows how to negotiate and take 903 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 11: care of business, which is what running in the United 904 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 11: States is. And he has surrounded himself with light thinkers. 905 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 11: And when Biden gave away all that oil theoretically to 906 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 11: glower the price of gas, the refill price was so 907 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 11: much higher because of how high the price of oil 908 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 11: had gotten. And now we got a guy negotiating a 909 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 11: favorable deal, which is. 910 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 1: Astounding, isn't it? 911 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 11: Great teching phase in our area. We have four different 912 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 11: places right now that you can get a pretty good fish, shrimp, 913 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 11: clam chowder, sam and dinner that you know, it's a 914 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 11: reasonable price, and it's all for a good cause. So 915 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,320 Speaker 11: you've got a lot of we have a lot of 916 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 11: different options because I live relatively close to where you do. Nevertheless, 917 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 11: the third phase, when these people capture a terrorist like 918 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 11: the guy at Old Dominion, Yeah, don't kill keep him alive, 919 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 11: and let this guy get interviewed so the rest of 920 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 11: the United States can see just how insane these people 921 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 11: are to know what they're dealing with. 922 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: Okay, interesting theory, pad, But if there's an active shooter 923 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: situation going on in a room that I'm in and 924 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm in a position to dispatch that guy and rendered 925 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 1: him no longer alive, as the authority stated, I'm going 926 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,359 Speaker 1: to do it. I'm not going to be thinking about 927 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,439 Speaker 1: interrogating the guy down the road. I'm gonna think about 928 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,800 Speaker 1: dispatching him and preventing him from killing somebody. 929 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 11: If you have to blast him, you blast him. But 930 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 11: if you don't, and you've got a room full of people, 931 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 11: pull that guy down so you can people can understand 932 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 11: these people are out of their mind. 933 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's see, they're out of their minds and listen. 934 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: I hope you never end up ever, nor would wish 935 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,760 Speaker 1: it on my worst enemy to be in this situation 936 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: like that, where you're facing the eminent apprehension of death. Somehow, 937 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: I think that my default position wouldn't be processing truestioning 938 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: the guy down the road, and I wouldn't even know 939 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: what his motivations were at the time. Maybe he didn't 940 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: say a lua acbar at the time, so I don't 941 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: know why he's there. Maybe he's just deranged and has 942 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: some sort of psychological breakdown. Does it matter if you 943 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: question him, if it's just some looney tune going all 944 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: gunfiring on you. 945 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 4: No. 946 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: I think in an active fire situation, you're gonna be 947 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: thinking about staying alive, and your thought process probably won't 948 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 1: go any further than that. But I don't deny you 949 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 1: have a valid point. Wouldn't it be nice to question 950 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 1: the guy? Fortunately, these days most everyone has left a 951 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: long and thorough social media account, and we do know 952 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: this guy was the old Dominion guy was previously involved 953 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: and convicted of aiding in a betting terrorists, most notably Isis, 954 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: So I think his motivation is clearly known. Comeing up 955 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: a six twenty six to fifty five KRC The talk station. 956 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,560 Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the talk station. 957 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 1: Six thirty Friday. It is that time intrust it dot 958 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: com for the best in the business and the greater 959 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: Cincinnati area. You want to get rely on interest I 960 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 1: for all your business computer needs, especially if your entire 961 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 1: system gets wiped out by a malware attack. Welcome back, 962 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: Dave had it from interest I, T well. Thank you 963 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: start by appreciating your company interest I for sponsoring this 964 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 1: segment at valuable it is and scaring the living crap 965 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,239 Speaker 1: out of us regularly, which is a good thing, most 966 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,399 Speaker 1: notably on the heels of this Striker attack. What the heck, Dave, 967 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: this is so bad. 968 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 4: Brian, first, as always, thanks for having me on and 969 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 4: the pleasure. I hate to always be the guy with 970 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 4: the bad news, but if you look at what happened 971 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 4: with Striker, and I'm a little surprised this has not 972 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 4: gotten more news coverage or or because of the connection 973 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 4: to the the action in Iran. So but this is 974 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 4: the kind of thing, Brian, you and I have talked 975 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 4: about for years. I've warned about it for years. So 976 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 4: Striker is a large company apparently based on a Michigan. 977 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 4: I really wasn't very familiar with them up to this incident, 978 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,960 Speaker 4: although I'll tell you connection I have to it, which 979 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 4: is really interesting and even more concerning. They make medical 980 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 4: devices that are used in hospitals, doctors' offices, ambulances, that 981 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 4: sort of thing. So I'm just going to quote from 982 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 4: an article here Fortune five hundred. Company reported global sales 983 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 4: of twenty two point six billion and twenty twenty four 984 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,800 Speaker 4: fifty three thousand employees. So we're not talking about some 985 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 4: mom and pop shop that doesn't have money, doesn't have resources, 986 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 4: and frankly is a technology company. They're making you know, 987 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 4: again quoting this article leading medical technology company. So they 988 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 4: were hit apparently as a result of the hostilities in Iran. 989 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 4: Now can't say it wouldn't have happened anyway, I know, 990 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 4: but the organization that was behind this attack claims to 991 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 4: be affiliated with Iran. You can see what they had 992 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 4: to say in the information they put out. You know, 993 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 4: Zionists rooted Corporation Striker, one of the key arms of 994 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 4: the global is Zionist lobby New Central Ring in the 995 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 4: New Epstein Chain. I'm reading to you from a statement 996 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 4: from Hondala. 997 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: Is Big Foot, are big Foot and Chupacabra mentioned in there, 998 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 1: as well as the other conspiracy theories that they're fabricating. 999 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 4: They are not. They are. So here's what they say, Brian. Again, 1000 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,280 Speaker 4: the organization that claims to have done this, Striker's offices 1001 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 4: in seventy nine countries have been forced to shut down. 1002 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 4: All the acquired data is now in the hands of 1003 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:39,879 Speaker 4: the three people of the world, ready to be used 1004 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 4: for the true landcement of humanity and the exposure of 1005 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 4: injustice and corruption. They say. In this operation, over two 1006 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 4: hundred thousand systems, servers, and mobile devices have been wiped 1007 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 4: and fifty terror bytes of critical data have been extracted. 1008 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 4: So again, this is a company that makes medical equipment. 1009 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you, are the terrorist 1010 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: hackers behind the Iranians? Are they going to start making 1011 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: surgical neurotechnology equipment that the Striker can no longer manufacture? 1012 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: Are they going to bring this harmony to the globe 1013 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 1: and taking over the operation? 1014 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 4: Dave Quest, Yes, I understand, I doubt it, But what 1015 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 4: they could potentially do is start to then hack the 1016 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 4: equipment with the information that they have. But here here's 1017 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,280 Speaker 4: my real concern about this. Brian So, a wiper attack 1018 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,840 Speaker 4: is essentially a type of malware similar to ransomware. The 1019 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 4: difference is, you know, if I hit you with ransomware, 1020 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 4: I want you to pay a ransom to decrypt your data. Right. 1021 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 4: I encrypt your data, scrambles it up, renders the devices 1022 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,760 Speaker 4: where that data exists unusable, and you pay me a ransom. 1023 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 4: I theoretically decrypt the data. Everything goes back to normal. 1024 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 4: And then if I say, as the victim of it, 1025 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 4: I said well, I'm not going to pay, then they say, 1026 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 4: well that's fine. Typically they have also exfiltrated stolen your data, 1027 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,799 Speaker 4: and you know they'll use that as leverage, say well, 1028 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 4: we'll start to expose this so called fifty terabytes the 1029 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 4: data they claim they have stolen to the world unless 1030 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 4: you pay us. A wiper is different though, a wiper 1031 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,320 Speaker 4: is not designed to get a ransom A wiper is 1032 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 4: not designed to be able to recover from. It's specifically 1033 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 4: designed to just destroy the data on whatever devices it 1034 00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 4: hits so that they're down and you can't use them. 1035 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,000 Speaker 4: This has happened before, you may recall, I think it 1036 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 4: was twenty fifteen. A Ukrainian company that made software was 1037 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 4: hit with something like this, which then went out to 1038 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,399 Speaker 4: their customers and knocked hundreds of thousands of devices from 1039 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,879 Speaker 4: huge companies like MAYERSK offline. So this isn't the first 1040 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 4: time something like this has happened, but it's the first 1041 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 4: time I can tell you I'm aware of anything of 1042 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 4: this significance in the US, not only because now think 1043 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,240 Speaker 4: about this, Brian, think about this, if they really knocked 1044 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 4: out two hundred thousand devices, And Striker has commented on this, 1045 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 4: but it's been kind of vague. Even if I had 1046 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 4: systems in place, so I had resiliency and business continuity 1047 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,839 Speaker 4: and could recover these two hundred thousand devices quickly, even 1048 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 4: if it took ten minutes per device. What's ten minutes 1049 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,279 Speaker 4: times two hundred thousand think of the downtime here? 1050 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: Holy when you put it in those terms. 1051 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 4: Yes, well, this is the thing that people are often 1052 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 4: not thinking about. So you know, part of cybersecurity is 1053 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,040 Speaker 4: how do I hearden my systems and reduce the likelihood 1054 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:12,399 Speaker 4: that something like this will happen? 1055 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 5: Right? 1056 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 4: And then secondarily, if something happens doesn't have to be 1057 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,400 Speaker 4: a cyber attack, could be natural disaster, could be equipment failure. 1058 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 4: How do I have an environment and systems in it 1059 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 4: that are resilient and can recover quickly with minimal downtime. 1060 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,360 Speaker 4: You know, again, I only know what I read about this, Brian. 1061 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 4: But think about this again. Ten minutes at two hundred thousand, 1062 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 4: and I can tell you it will take more than 1063 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 4: ten minutes. I'm just speculating here. I don't know if 1064 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,320 Speaker 4: this company can survive right now, you know, and that 1065 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 4: fifty three thousand jobs, twenty two billion dollar company. But 1066 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,280 Speaker 4: here's the really scary part. That's all terrible, absolutely terrible. 1067 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:52,320 Speaker 4: But these medical devices are everywhere. I can tell you 1068 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,279 Speaker 4: when I put my Mayre's hat on, we have a 1069 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 4: bunch of their equipment in our fire department and our ambulances. 1070 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: My wife works one of the largest hospital systems in 1071 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 1: the country. She knew about this right away, and she 1072 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,880 Speaker 1: even mentioned it to me the other day that this 1073 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 1: had happened. It impacted. I mean, they have relationships established 1074 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,279 Speaker 1: with all these hospital systems, and so there may be 1075 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: a ripple effect there. 1076 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, okay, if they don't survive when those 1077 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 4: devices start to go bad, what happens? Could the devices 1078 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,600 Speaker 4: could summer all of the devices they make that are 1079 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 4: Internet connected be hacked as a result of this information 1080 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 4: they now have who knows. I mean, this is where 1081 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 4: people do not think about the downstream consequences of not 1082 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 4: having the right security in place, and frankly of equal 1083 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 4: maybe more importance when you see these kind of things 1084 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 4: having systems in place for resiliency and quick recovery. 1085 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: Interest I dot Com a plug right there for that 1086 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 1: one pause will bring him back and talk about more issues. 1087 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: Foreign exchange, your premier European and Asian imported automotive specialist. 1088 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,120 Speaker 2: You talk station. 1089 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 1: If you have CAC the talk station Brian Thomas with 1090 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: Interest i T dot COM's Dave had Or business Curier 1091 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: says interest I T is the best in the business 1092 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to things like we were talking about 1093 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 1: in the last hour, trying to avoid your you avoid 1094 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 1: the risk of being hacked. Dave pivoting over local person 1095 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: talk about imposter scams. You got one every week? What 1096 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 1: happened here? 1097 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, these scams are super prevalent, Brian. I know people 1098 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 4: that have been victims of them personally, and as you 1099 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 4: and I have discussed so many times, and I think 1100 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 4: you might have mentioned this yesterday you had another breach 1101 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 4: of a billion records. Your data is everywhere now, everywhere, everywhere, 1102 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 4: And I would bet you there's not a single person 1103 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 4: listening to us ever that hasn't gotten at least one 1104 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:39,640 Speaker 4: notice of some sort of data. 1105 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: Breach, even if they're alluded at it. That's because public information, 1106 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 1: like auditor records, public information. It's out there for all 1107 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 1: to see. So even if you're hiding in a closet, 1108 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: you're still going to have your information hacked. You have 1109 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:52,439 Speaker 1: an address, yes, I mean. 1110 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 4: You're exactly right, Brian. I mean, the more apps you use, 1111 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 4: the more Internet of Things devices you have, the more 1112 00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 4: your data is going to be out there. But even 1113 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 4: if you don't do any of that stuff, I mean 1114 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 4: you're using credit cards, people are buying and selling your data. 1115 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 4: And the reason why that's important is all of that 1116 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,440 Speaker 4: data gets in the hands of bad guys. They buy 1117 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,080 Speaker 4: it off the dark web and such. Again, we see 1118 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,200 Speaker 4: stories regularly about oh, here's someone found a database with 1119 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 4: a big and social security numbers or whatever. All that 1120 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 4: data in the hands of these bad guys helps them 1121 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 4: refine their scams, It helps them target you, It helps 1122 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 4: them figure out what to say to you if and 1123 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 4: when they talk to you on the phone. It helps 1124 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:32,040 Speaker 4: them guide those conversations so they seem like the legitimate 1125 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 4: agency that claims you have some kind of problem, right, 1126 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 4: So they'll fish you via text, via email, sometimes they'll 1127 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 4: call you. Sometimes a combination of all these things. They're 1128 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 4: using this information to create messages that are much more 1129 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 4: realistic than the standard. Hey, I'm in Nigerian Prince. I 1130 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 4: want to transfer eight million dollars to your bank account. 1131 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 4: And that's what you see here in this story price 1132 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 4: woman rather loses five thousand dollars in bank imposter scam. 1133 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 4: And I think it's I have so much respect for 1134 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 4: people who come forward and tell these stories. Yes, because 1135 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 4: I know it's embarrassing. I know it's hurtful to them. 1136 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 4: You know, who has a spare five grand they want 1137 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 4: to lose. But rather than listen to someone like me 1138 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 4: speculate on this, orn't about this, when these real people 1139 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 4: come forward and tell these stories, at least I believe 1140 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 4: it puts a fine point on this stuff is real. 1141 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 4: It's not just even Da've had her making stuff up. 1142 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 4: This is happening every. 1143 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 1: Day well, and even more so, she works in banking 1144 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,280 Speaker 1: and she knows how financial systems work. That's what the 1145 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 1: reporting shows. So this isn't some novice out there. This 1146 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 1: is someone who has at least some understanding of the 1147 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 1: banking system. 1148 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. And so she lost five thousand dollars. 1149 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,280 Speaker 4: She claims that, you know, she got a call. They 1150 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 4: said there was some kind of fraud on her account. 1151 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,959 Speaker 4: The number appeared to come from her bank, and they said. 1152 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 4: There's one part again, I only know what the reporting says. 1153 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 4: One part that says that the callers, the hackers, the 1154 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 4: bad actors, were prepared. They knew her recent transactions. They 1155 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 4: knew she had just ordered a new debit card. They 1156 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 4: had a detailed personal account information that made them sound 1157 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 4: completely legitimate. 1158 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:08,040 Speaker 1: That's scary. 1159 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,520 Speaker 4: Exactly exactly how they would know her recent transactions, that 1160 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 4: she just ordered a debit card, I don't know. But 1161 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 4: the detailed personal account information, again, that stuff is everywhere 1162 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 4: out there now. So just because you get a call, 1163 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 4: it's easy to spoof a phone number. Anyone right now 1164 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 4: can go do a search and find a website that 1165 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 4: will let them send a text or make a phone 1166 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 4: call from any number they want. It is trivially easy. 1167 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 4: You cannot look at a phone number on your phone 1168 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 4: and know whether it's a legitimate number again, be a 1169 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 4: text or phone. So you know, they call her, so 1170 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 4: they got guts, they call her. They're con artists. They're 1171 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 4: going to talk to her on the phone. They have 1172 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 4: this information that makes them seem legitimate, and they claim 1173 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 4: frauds and activity in Dallas. She needs to open up 1174 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 4: a new account and transfer her money over now again, Brian, 1175 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 4: the bank can just turn your account right, No, right? 1176 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 4: I mean you should not transfer your money. You should 1177 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 4: You should not go buy venmo or put it in Venmo, 1178 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,720 Speaker 4: buy gift cards, put it in an ATM and another bank. 1179 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 4: I know someone that had something similar to this happened. 1180 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:17,520 Speaker 4: But unfortunately she did it, and you know, this article says, 1181 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 4: Okay didn't even know what happened. She took every you know, 1182 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 4: call their real customer service line, by a police report, 1183 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 4: contact a better business view, freeze your credit, you know, 1184 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,919 Speaker 4: escalate with the bank, contact the FBI. Now, let's be real, 1185 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 4: the FBI is not going to have the resources to 1186 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 4: get engaged with a five thousand dollars individual theft. But 1187 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 4: it's not a bad idea to report that, at least 1188 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,960 Speaker 4: to the Internet Crime Complaints Center IC three dot gov, 1189 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 4: which the the FBI runs. But I mean, here's here's 1190 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,640 Speaker 4: the bottom line, and they say it in the article. 1191 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 4: If you get something like this, hang up immediately. Do 1192 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 4: not talk to these people. They're con artists. They'll tell 1193 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,800 Speaker 4: you whatever lies they need to hang up. Get at 1194 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 4: your debit card or credit card, call that number, use 1195 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 4: the app you normally use. You know, you need to 1196 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 4: verify this. Yeah, go to a local bank branch if 1197 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 4: there is one. Don't click the links, don't don't use 1198 01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 4: any of the information they gave you. Hang up and 1199 01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 4: use information that you already have, and you know, reach 1200 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 4: out to your bank and say, hey, I got this call. 1201 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't engage in a knee jerk reaction. Stop hanging up, 1202 01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: give it some thought, thinking maybe this is a scam. 1203 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,200 Speaker 1: It's not going to unring the bell of whatever they 1204 01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 1: claim to be warning you about. 1205 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 2: So you do have some time. 1206 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 1: The damage has already been done, according to them, so 1207 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,160 Speaker 1: go to the bank and find out for sure. Dave 1208 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 1: yes at a time. In the segment let's bring you back, 1209 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk about Meta getting sued over the wonderfully gorgeous 1210 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:41,400 Speaker 1: looking privacy intrust dot Com sponsors the tech Frida with 1211 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Dave Hatter segment. Dave Hatter, it's his company and know 1212 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 1: the best in the business, So get yourself out of 1213 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 1: a jam, or prevent jams by calling them up. And 1214 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: then we pivot over Dave Hatter. Meta's getting sued over 1215 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:52,360 Speaker 1: the new AI smart glasses and I'm looking at a 1216 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 1: photograph of them, and honestly, you can tell when someone 1217 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 1: has them on based upon the awesome fashion statement they present. 1218 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 1: But I would not feel comfortable talking with anyone with 1219 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: these things on. 1220 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure it doesn't come as a shock to you. 1221 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 4: I'm in the same boat as you. You know, I'm 1222 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:14,080 Speaker 4: not a big fan of the Internet of Things aka 1223 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 4: smart devices, and as we see miniaturization of this technology 1224 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 4: and the ability to add cameras and microphones to everything, 1225 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 4: you know, you see things like the Meta smart classes here. Now, 1226 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 4: as a reminder, this is not new. A few years ago, 1227 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 4: Google tried this. They had something called Google Glass, which 1228 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 4: coined the awesome term for people wearing these things glassholes 1229 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 4: quote unquote. They didn't really catch on. Yeah, they didn't 1230 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 4: really catch on. So now Meta's back. They're apparently in 1231 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 4: partnership with Luxotica for their ray band brand and Yeah, 1232 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 4: there's plenty of pictures out there of Mark Zuckerberg wearing 1233 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 4: these things. You can see there's a little light on 1234 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 4: that shows you what it's active in recording. But from 1235 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 4: what I have read, disabled the light. I know you're 1236 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 4: going there and you know so. Here's one article from 1237 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 4: tech Crunch metas suit over AI smart classes privacy concerns 1238 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 4: after workers reviewed nudity, sex and other footage now again 1239 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 4: allegedly in this lawsuit. This is what this article says. 1240 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:17,360 Speaker 5: You know. 1241 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 4: It goes on to say in the article, Meta is 1242 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 4: facing a new class action lawsuit or it's ur smart 1243 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 4: classes and their lack of privacy after investigation by Swedish 1244 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 4: newspapers find them that workers at a Kenya based subcontractor 1245 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 4: are reviewing footage from customers classes which included sensitive content 1246 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 4: like nudity, people having sex and using the. 1247 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Toilet medically, don't have with someone wearing smart classes, yes. 1248 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 4: Or don't go to the toilet while your smart classes 1249 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 4: are on, or maybe perhaps just don't have smart classes 1250 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,880 Speaker 4: or be around people with smart classes, and then at 1251 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 4: least you will have one less orwelly and spy mechanism 1252 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 4: tracking your every move, listening to your conversations, et cetera. 1253 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 4: Now it goes on to say in here, the complaint 1254 01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 4: alleges that meta AI smart classes are advertising using prompt 1255 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 4: us is like quote designed for privacy, controlled by you 1256 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 4: unquote end quote built for your privacy unquote, which might 1257 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 4: not lead them, might not lead customers to assume their 1258 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 4: glasses footage, including inimate moments, was being watched by workers overseas. 1259 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 4: You know, they claim that this is being done for 1260 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,600 Speaker 4: quality purposes. Same thing all these companies say about the 1261 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 4: data that they collect and upload, and you know, again, 1262 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 4: in many cases, I'm assuming some of this more sensitive 1263 01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 4: footage isn't because someone is purposely violating someone else's privacy. 1264 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 4: It's because they don't really understand how these things work. 1265 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 4: They don't understand when they're on, they forget that they're on, 1266 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 4: they set them down in an inconvenient spot. But ultimately 1267 01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 4: that data gets uploaded to servers where someone you know 1268 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 4: is theoretically reviewing this for quality purposes. 1269 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,520 Speaker 1: It's like it's like the room back with the camera 1270 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: in it. This is the same thing, except Lord Almighty, 1271 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,600 Speaker 1: the implications that are far broader. With the glasses, they 1272 01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,880 Speaker 1: go with the ever wherever you have them on, unlike 1273 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 1: a room, but which is at least going to be 1274 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, stuck in your living room or house exactly. 1275 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,040 Speaker 4: And so also reading from the article here, and twenty 1276 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 4: twenty five seven million people bought Meta smart glasses. The 1277 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 4: footage from those glasses is fed into a data pipeline 1278 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,200 Speaker 4: for a review, and users can't opt out. So and 1279 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,280 Speaker 4: I know we'll we're out of time, but yeah, the 1280 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 4: ruma at least is confined to your house. You could 1281 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 4: be sitting in a restaurant next to someone that's essentially 1282 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 4: recording your conversation without your knowledge. Yeah, and I just 1283 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,439 Speaker 4: want to point out, let's go back to the nest 1284 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,680 Speaker 4: thing in the gut Thrie situation. She didn't have a subscription, 1285 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 4: They said we can't retrieve this data, and then magically, 1286 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 4: ten days later the data shows up. So if you 1287 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 4: think this stuff is going into their servers and is 1288 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 4: somehow eventually being deleted, or isn't potentially being sold to 1289 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 4: someone else who knows, so, yeah, there is literally no 1290 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 4: chance I would use these things. There is no chance 1291 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 4: I would be around someone that had these on. 1292 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: This is just more of it. 1293 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 4: Just illustrates once again, how as we make everything smart 1294 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 4: quote unquote put software and everything. There are all these 1295 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,200 Speaker 4: unintended consequences and risks to everyday people that they typically 1296 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 4: don't understand. So again, all of this is alleged. That's 1297 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,640 Speaker 4: in a lawsuit. Go out, read these articles, see the pictures. 1298 01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm not a fan, and I would encourage 1299 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,760 Speaker 4: people not to buy this stuff and to try to 1300 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:23,680 Speaker 4: avoid being around it as much as possible. Yeah, the 1301 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 4: Internet everything, I'm not a fan. Yes, that's a good 1302 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:27,360 Speaker 4: stopping player. 1303 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:33,080 Speaker 1: Take a pass on Internet of Things devices. Seven oh 1304 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,680 Speaker 1: six on a Friday, and a very happy Friday, it is. 1305 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,600 Speaker 1: It's always happy in my world with a Friday, but 1306 01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 1: it's even better coming off with tech Friday day of Hotiday. 1307 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 1: Have private citizen former Congressman and retired Colonel Brad Winsterpin Studio. Brad, 1308 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 1: my friend. It's always great to see you, brother, pleasure to. 1309 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:47,800 Speaker 4: Be with you. 1310 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 6: And I will say, Brian, you're looking well well, thank you. 1311 01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 6: I know you've got some treatment ahead, yeah, but you're 1312 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 6: looking good. 1313 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: Thanks positive. Just sticking to that diet routine. It's really 1314 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,840 Speaker 1: been beneficial for my health generally speaking. And I don't 1315 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,719 Speaker 1: even I literally don't even think about the cancer, except 1316 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 1: when you got to go and get a cancer treatment. 1317 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,639 Speaker 1: But everybody's been so kind and all the well wishes 1318 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 1: are truly appreciated. But again I always like to say, 1319 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 1: you got a limited number of prayers and well wishes 1320 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 1: and thoughts out there, direct them to someone who is 1321 01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: more worthy and in need. Because I feel fine, and 1322 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,880 Speaker 1: although I will be out Monday and Tuesday because I 1323 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 1: have this ripple effect from the chemo, makes me kind 1324 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,760 Speaker 1: of space CADETI. You know, it's no big deal, this 1325 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 1: too shall pass. Just playing the hand that I was 1326 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 1: dealt and going along with my life like nothing else 1327 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,639 Speaker 1: is wrong. So but it's kind of you to share 1328 01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,680 Speaker 1: your thoughts and concerns as it is with everyone, and 1329 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 1: speaking of thoughts of concern as we were talking about. 1330 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 1: And of course we'll start with the situation, the war 1331 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 1: as I'm going to label it. And in despite this 1332 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: semantical debate we seem to be having, we have launch 1333 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 1: actions against Iran, stating the obvious. Iran seems to be 1334 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 1: in a position of having one singular strategy and one 1335 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 1: singular threat, and that is the closure of the strait 1336 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: of horror moves. And it's something that they have had 1337 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 1: in their back pocket now since it took over fundamentals. 1338 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,919 Speaker 1: I was amazed yesterday, first off, shocked in Iran's strategy 1339 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,559 Speaker 1: of starting to shoot weapons into their surrounding neighbors country 1340 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,840 Speaker 1: as opposed to just focusing on Israel. That was kind 1341 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 1: of weird. It sort of backfired on them right out 1342 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: of the gate, with the leaders of those various countries 1343 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: stepping up going wha, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then you 1344 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,160 Speaker 1: have the resolution yet the other day from the UN 1345 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:31,560 Speaker 1: which is profound, one hundred and thirty five co sponsors 1346 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 1: of this condemnation of Iran for its strikes on the 1347 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:41,599 Speaker 1: Gulf region, with China and Russia abstaining, notwithstanding in fact 1348 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 1: they have the veto power. It was unanimous. The world 1349 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 1: is finally seeing a potential end the Iranians, which will 1350 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: benefit everybody that one country controls in essence the straight 1351 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 1: of hormones and the traffic it flows through it. If 1352 01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 1: you get rid of that one country, you've got lower 1353 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 1: price of fuel and stability, right, And it's so huge. 1354 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 6: And look look that control and the abuses with fossil 1355 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,800 Speaker 6: fuels and their oil capabilities and all those things that 1356 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 6: has been their nuclear weapon for a long time, yep. 1357 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,560 Speaker 6: And they want a nuclear weapon and that was for 1358 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 6: the effort of killing. So it's all about control and killing. 1359 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,880 Speaker 6: They are about killing, Let's get that straight. That's what 1360 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 6: they have been doing. And this has been going on. 1361 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 6: You know what are we on day fourteen roughly? Yeah, okay, 1362 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 6: they're on your forty seven going on forty eight, and 1363 01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 6: that's a fact. And so we're finally doing something. And 1364 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,439 Speaker 6: the Strait of Hormuz is important. But you mentioned the 1365 01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 6: firing on the other people in their neighborhood, right, I mean, 1366 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,719 Speaker 6: I don't think they ever heard of Dale Carnegie. 1367 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 1: But winning friends and influencing. 1368 01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:55,320 Speaker 6: People, I mean, this is unbelievably stupid, stupid in the 1369 01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 6: course of history. Let's put it that way, because that 1370 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 6: may have some effect that they think is going to 1371 01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,639 Speaker 6: be helpful to them in a while. 1372 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 1: They're like everyone getting together at the same location and 1373 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: meeting right when the bombs are dropping. They didn't think 1374 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,320 Speaker 1: about a zoom conference. These are clearly idiots. I'm just 1375 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,120 Speaker 1: going to say it out loud like that. I don't 1376 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:14,560 Speaker 1: get Oh, it's unbelievable. 1377 01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,120 Speaker 6: Well, fortunately we have good intel on that time, mat too, 1378 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,000 Speaker 6: and from what I understand was human intelligence, which is 1379 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,680 Speaker 6: even more amazing that it came from within somebody on 1380 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 6: the end of the Israel. The Israelis are obviously very 1381 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 6: good at this, and let's face it, we have been 1382 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 6: very strategic, I would say. You know, as you heard 1383 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,800 Speaker 6: the administration saying from the beginning, this is going to 1384 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,680 Speaker 6: be six weeks or so. So they weren't saying from 1385 01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,680 Speaker 6: the get go. They were saying, this is going to 1386 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,439 Speaker 6: take a while, and there will be casualties. And I 1387 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 6: appreciate that upfront ness, and maybe it'll take longer. But 1388 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,120 Speaker 6: you're seeing really like UAE doing a pretty good job 1389 01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:52,600 Speaker 6: of defending themselves. And so you know, the neighbors that 1390 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 6: one time weren't necessarily our friends. Everyone's coming together and 1391 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,200 Speaker 6: that UN resolution is the same. And you talk about 1392 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,520 Speaker 6: China and Rush and we were talking about this offline beforehand. 1393 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 6: They don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. 1394 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 1: I know, why would they? Yeah, why would they? Well, 1395 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,560 Speaker 1: they're depending a lot on the Iranian oil too. You know, 1396 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,760 Speaker 1: it's not in China's interest that flow being stopped through 1397 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. But they still wanted to be 1398 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,400 Speaker 1: the big brother to Iran. So of course you'd say, 1399 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, you look at it. We were always saying 1400 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,840 Speaker 1: there's the Big Four, right, you know, North Korea, Ran, China, 1401 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 1: and Russia. Well they're not Russian to their aid at all. 1402 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:27,439 Speaker 5: No. 1403 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's like having a friendship with Epstein 1404 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,840 Speaker 1: before he got busted from being a pedophi. Apparently it 1405 01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 1: was a pretty good thing. You got to hang out 1406 01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 1: with this rich guy and go to rich places and 1407 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 1: experience lap of luxury, and then all of a sudden 1408 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 1: you find out, well, he's a moluster of children, so 1409 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 1: you stay away from them. Well maybe they were hanging 1410 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 1: out with Iran up to this time because it was 1411 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,559 Speaker 1: in their best interests globally, strategically or whatever, and then 1412 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: they find out maybe not. I'm going to take a 1413 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:52,479 Speaker 1: pass on this one. 1414 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, we got to deal with a lot of these 1415 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 6: neighbors ourselves, and that you are now firing on point 1416 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,200 Speaker 6: trading partners all, well, it sounds me like they've set 1417 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 6: themselves up for even more entries into the Abraham Accords. 1418 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 6: You just took the words out of my mouth, because 1419 01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,800 Speaker 6: if you look at the Abraham Accords, you know that again, 1420 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,440 Speaker 6: through the course of history, that is phenomenal. 1421 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,160 Speaker 1: I know, no one, no one gives. 1422 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 6: Trump credit for that awesome, awesome accomplishment totally. I mean, 1423 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,960 Speaker 6: you're talking about areas of the world where they have 1424 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 6: been fighting for thousands of years. Yes, and they're willing 1425 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 6: to bring some logic to what they are doing and saying, well, 1426 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 6: why don't we just be a little more economically sound 1427 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 6: and reasonable and work with our neighbors and maybe we 1428 01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 6: can all live in peace and and thrive and absolutely thrive. 1429 01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,680 Speaker 1: And hey, rebuild Gaza, you know. I mean, it's the 1430 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,920 Speaker 1: next seaside resort potentially, and a more terrorists stability. We 1431 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 1: can trade together, we can go across each other's borders, 1432 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: we can enjoy each other's comfort and safety. And wow, 1433 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 1: we'll just put aside the you hatred and for our 1434 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,679 Speaker 1: own best entry. Yeah, I mean, you are not going 1435 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,400 Speaker 1: to wipe out Jews from the face of the earth. Sorry, 1436 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,960 Speaker 1: Hitler tried it. It's not going to work, and it's 1437 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 1: a bad idea, and it's a stupid idea. These are 1438 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 1: peace loving people. Why do we want to do that? Now? 1439 01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 6: We've got war loving people, death loving people to others, well, 1440 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 6: not even others, They kill their own people willingly they do. 1441 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 6: This is a cancer on the globe. And you know, 1442 01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,719 Speaker 6: if we can show that we can make this difference, 1443 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 6: as painful as it may be for a while. Wars 1444 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 6: are painful, there's no doubt about it. But what's the 1445 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:40,479 Speaker 6: net result of this? 1446 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 1: That's right? 1447 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,400 Speaker 6: And you know, when I was in Iraq, I found 1448 01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 6: this Wartime Prayer book by Bishop Fulton Sheen, who in 1449 01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 6: the fifties was well probably the first TV evangelical, I guess, 1450 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,479 Speaker 6: you'd say. But one of the things that he had 1451 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 6: in there that really brought some solace to me, he said, 1452 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:01,519 Speaker 6: I didn't come to this war to leave the world 1453 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,640 Speaker 6: the way it was. I came to this world to 1454 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,560 Speaker 6: rid the world of tyrants and dictators. 1455 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: That is a profound point, right So, and you know, 1456 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 1: and I mentioned it to a caller early in the program, 1457 01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,679 Speaker 1: I think that somehow I've changed gears on the legality component. 1458 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 1: There's the law and an open debate on whether this 1459 01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 1: action was justified and constitutional. That is not a discussion 1460 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: of the potential benefits or even downsides of the war. 1461 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 1: And it looks like I'm going back to this un resolution. 1462 01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,519 Speaker 1: This action has finally given everyone in the world an 1463 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to do exactly what that preacher said to make 1464 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 1: the world a better place. 1465 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 6: And you know, Brian, if this action had taken place 1466 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:50,519 Speaker 6: under Joe Biden, I would I know it's it would 1467 01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,760 Speaker 6: belauding it unreal. Would I would be a bit backing it. 1468 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,600 Speaker 6: I would say yes because my personal experience, you know, 1469 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 6: I'd say, go back forty seven years, nineteen seventy nine, 1470 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:05,439 Speaker 6: nineteen seventy nine. You know, we get hostages taken and 1471 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 6: Jimmy Carter's the president, but if you can get them 1472 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 6: out of there, I'm going to be for it. Unfortunately, 1473 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,799 Speaker 6: that failed and it took really I think ron O'reagan 1474 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:14,920 Speaker 6: coming into office that. 1475 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 1: Got them out. There're the but Jesus out of them, 1476 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:18,600 Speaker 1: didn't it? 1477 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,360 Speaker 6: It did, and it was day one. Man here here 1478 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,880 Speaker 6: they come home. But you know, I was thinking the 1479 01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 6: other day of the Jimmy Buffett song that came out 1480 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 6: right at the same time, and then his song Volcano. 1481 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,600 Speaker 6: He says, don't want to land on no ayatola, and 1482 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 6: I'm like, what's an ayatola? And so since nineteen seventy nine, 1483 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 6: I've been well aware of what an iatola is. 1484 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: Well, the a new one says he's going to use 1485 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: the horror news closure as a weapon and as leverage. 1486 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: So he's going to stick by this, assuming the cardboard 1487 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 1: cutout is still with us. That was the position that 1488 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 1: came out from Lebron just yesterday. So yeah, if that's 1489 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,519 Speaker 1: the strategy, then well it's glad to have the rest 1490 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,680 Speaker 1: of the world on our side for a change. We'll 1491 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,200 Speaker 1: continue with citizen former congres some Brad Weinster beIN studio 1492 01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 1: after I mentioned Jimmy car fireplace in Stowe. Yes, they 1493 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 1: do it. Seventy fifty five KRCD Talk Station Brian Thomas 1494 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,919 Speaker 1: with citizen and former Congressman former retire he's retired lieutenant 1495 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,519 Speaker 1: or retired colonel, Brad Weinster. He's in studio and HAPs 1496 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 1: to be a good friend of mine and I just 1497 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,360 Speaker 1: love talking to Brad and he's got provide some wonderful insight. 1498 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:20,720 Speaker 1: Let us pivot over briefly if we may. And it's 1499 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,920 Speaker 1: funny because I had fraud written down on my list 1500 01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: of things that bring by you and you said, just 1501 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,599 Speaker 1: a moment before the mic went on, what a gift 1502 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,439 Speaker 1: this war has been to Governor Tim Waltson Minnesota, who 1503 01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,920 Speaker 1: is not running for reelection because of the rampant fraud 1504 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 1: that apparently he knew all about for years going on 1505 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:45,680 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, stealing stealing our tax pair dollars collectively billions 1506 01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 1: and billions and billions of dollars through just a handful 1507 01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 1: of federal programs, of being exploited by It was win 1508 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 1: in the Somali community. No, it's not racist to me 1509 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,280 Speaker 1: to say that these are criminals. Within any broader set 1510 01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,400 Speaker 1: of people and humanity, there is a sub that we 1511 01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 1: can be critical of without being called a racist. These 1512 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 1: were people that were within the Somali community that figured 1513 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,360 Speaker 1: out how easy it was to rip us all off, 1514 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,759 Speaker 1: and they did on a massive, massive scale. 1515 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I would think that there was a component 1516 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 6: of recognizing a certain voting block and so if you 1517 01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 6: turn your head, you can you can keep those votes 1518 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:20,680 Speaker 6: coming for you. 1519 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 1: You went up with an ilon Omar. 1520 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you mentioned I remember something happened downtown 1521 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,160 Speaker 6: years ago, probably thirty years ago, and I had a 1522 01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 6: practice downtown and there was a guy, apparently a black man, 1523 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 6: was robbing a white man outside of like RB's or 1524 01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 6: something downtown, and a black man came to the aid 1525 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:48,479 Speaker 6: of the white guy who was being beaten and the 1526 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,599 Speaker 6: black guy, the one who was doing the attacking, said, hey, brother, 1527 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 6: what are you doing? 1528 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 4: You know? 1529 01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,599 Speaker 1: And he goes, he goes, You're not my brother, You're 1530 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 1: a criminal. There you are, thank you, right, illustrating my 1531 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:01,439 Speaker 1: point with the real lifetime. 1532 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:02,599 Speaker 6: Obviously not racist. 1533 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 1: No, it's not racist to go after people who are 1534 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 1: committing crimes exactly white people, black people, Asian people, doesn't matter. 1535 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 1: Stating the obvious. Okay, so we've got massive fraud. Obviously 1536 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,680 Speaker 1: there needs to be a crackdown. Pivoting over in My 1537 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,120 Speaker 1: favorite point to make is in this huge country of ours, 1538 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,720 Speaker 1: that's one city, and pivot over to what they're just 1539 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 1: finding now out in Los Angeles County with regard to 1540 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:31,679 Speaker 1: the hospice care, the number of hospice organizations ballooned eighteen 1541 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,840 Speaker 1: hundred percent in a matter of a few years. And 1542 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 1: of course bit a vehicle for fraud, waste, and abuse. Okay, 1543 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,479 Speaker 1: one program in one city. This has got to be 1544 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,920 Speaker 1: going on all over the place, depending on how closely 1545 01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 1: are the alleged overseers are supposed to be paying attention 1546 01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:47,880 Speaker 1: to this stuff. 1547 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe that these workarounds, if you will have 1548 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:56,280 Speaker 6: ways to milk the system develop because they just do it. 1549 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 6: There's an opportunity and people take it and it's unfortunate 1550 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,599 Speaker 6: and they get away with it for a long time. 1551 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,720 Speaker 6: And that's one of the biggest concerns that we had 1552 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,439 Speaker 6: when it comes to fraud. And there is a component 1553 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 6: of the government. This goes back to the Biden administration too, 1554 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 6: where they are saying we are finally finally finding ways 1555 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 6: to detect this fraud and get to it sooner. Yeah, 1556 01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 6: and they met with the doctor's caucus. But see here's 1557 01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 6: where we want to even. 1558 01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:23,800 Speaker 1: Share records to help us get to the root of 1559 01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 1: the fraud. 1560 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 6: Well, certain components of the government are and will I 1561 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,560 Speaker 6: will tell you most of this though that we're discovering 1562 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 6: is not happening with the doctor in his practice. They're 1563 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 6: not the ones committing medicaid fraud usually. I'm not saying 1564 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:41,760 Speaker 6: it doesn't happen, because it does. 1565 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, they had one doctor that was present at forty 1566 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 1: five locations on one day. Well yeah, no, he wasn't 1567 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 1: building the system. That's doctor Wenstro. 1568 01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:50,400 Speaker 5: But that was. 1569 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 6: Believe believe me, you take Medicaid and you do it right, 1570 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 6: you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart. 1571 01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 1: But see the artificial intelligence can find all of that. 1572 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:02,320 Speaker 1: We were doing that back in Anthem when I was 1573 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,800 Speaker 1: there twenty years ago with the Stars program. They in 1574 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: fact discovered one doctor build for the exact same service 1575 01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 1: at eight or ten locations in the state of ohioan 1576 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: one day, and there's no way you could get to there. 1577 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,160 Speaker 1: This is something that's old school, we don't even bother 1578 01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 1: and those things should rise to the surface quickly. It 1579 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 1: should be easy to detect. But what I was going 1580 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 1: to say, Brian, is a lot of this comes in 1581 01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 1: when there's like Medicaid approval for devices or like you said, hospice, right, 1582 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 1: that's where a lot of the money goes out. It's 1583 01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 1: not necessarily in the care that a doctor gives, it's 1584 01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 1: associated with the care, and that's where a lot of 1585 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: the abuse comes in. At least that's what they were 1586 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 1: telling us. They reached out to meet with the doctor's Caucus. 1587 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,840 Speaker 1: They wanted to show that there was a component of 1588 01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: the government that's looking within this and trying to make 1589 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 1: it better for the future. And I hope that we 1590 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 1: get that at this time in our history. 1591 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:03,599 Speaker 6: Because it's huge waste of the taxpayer dollars, and it's 1592 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 6: just so damaging to medicine in general, especially to those 1593 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:08,280 Speaker 6: that are trying to do the right thing. 1594 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,919 Speaker 1: Amen to that, we'll continue with former Congressman Brad Weinstrup 1595 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,519 Speaker 1: after a word for in perfect timing on this twenty 1596 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:16,680 Speaker 1: two to three on Route forty seven twenty nine. If 1597 01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:19,000 Speaker 1: think about kaarse City Talk Station Brian Thomas with former 1598 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 1: Congressman retired colonel doctor defending the doctors of that last segment, 1599 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 1: I caught that Weinstrup, Brad Weinster b Been Studio and 1600 01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,479 Speaker 1: source speak. The doctor thing is critically important because, of course, 1601 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 1: one of the problems we've got in America is the 1602 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,720 Speaker 1: out insane cost of medicine. Wasn't Obamacare supposed to it 1603 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: to solve this problem, but look, the premiums have gone 1604 01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,679 Speaker 1: through the roof. The out of pocket responsibility is ten thousand, 1605 01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. I don't know how you even call 1606 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 1: that insurance, but that's a real problem. Donald Trump stepped 1607 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:49,080 Speaker 1: up and suggested this most Favored Nation status with pharmaceuticals, 1608 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,599 Speaker 1: meaning we pay the price the lowest price that any 1609 01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,559 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical company is paying to the other countries in the world, 1610 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,840 Speaker 1: which sounds logical and reasonable. Although protectionist, it is not 1611 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 1: traditionally some thing Republicans do, like price man dating. But 1612 01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: of course it could offer a solution for us, and 1613 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,679 Speaker 1: there was a limited number of pharmaceuticals on the list 1614 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 1: that are qualified for this. It seems a step in 1615 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 1: the right direction to bring some relief to American people 1616 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,400 Speaker 1: in so far as pharmaceuticals. What about the broader implications 1617 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:15,840 Speaker 1: we have here. 1618 01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:17,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, going to the you know what 1619 01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,640 Speaker 6: other countries pay. Here's my take on it, Brian, is 1620 01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 6: it's an exploitation of the American people that they've gotten 1621 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,639 Speaker 6: away with in many ways. 1622 01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 1: Well, it's an evil form of wealth redistribution. We pay 1623 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 1: for everything, for all the research and development and everything 1624 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: with the high cost we pay, which the pharmaceutical companies 1625 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 1: then give to the rest of the world in the 1626 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: form of far lower prices than we pay. 1627 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, and to me, that's a problem because what it 1628 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,680 Speaker 6: shows me, and if you're in those countries, what it 1629 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 6: says is they are not willing to pay more for 1630 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 6: life saving drugs for their people unless they pay less 1631 01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:57,680 Speaker 6: than the American people do. 1632 01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: It's sort of like NATO countries not having militaries because 1633 01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,800 Speaker 1: we are providing the service to them. Hmmm, you know 1634 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,439 Speaker 1: that's an here. Yeah, that's a good analogy, Brian. 1635 01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 6: I think it really is is well, let the American 1636 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:11,760 Speaker 6: people pay for it, because you know, when we are 1637 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 6: paying for funding NATO basically more so than the others. 1638 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 1: That's the American people. But it doesn't give us a 1639 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 1: reciprocal benefit. We've got a mutual defense agreement with a 1640 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 1: bunch of countries that can't defend themselves. How good is 1641 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,120 Speaker 1: it to be in that agreement? 1642 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:26,320 Speaker 4: What? 1643 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 1: Well? 1644 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 6: I think that we see this administration trying to change that. 1645 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:33,439 Speaker 6: And I also hope that through what's going on right 1646 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 6: now today and this willingness for Iran, So it's not 1647 01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:40,080 Speaker 6: just Russia to be concerned about, it's it's I ran, 1648 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:42,920 Speaker 6: the willingness of Iran to be able to attack their 1649 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,600 Speaker 6: neighbors and do all these things. Maybe we should be 1650 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 6: able to defend ourselves a little bit better. The world 1651 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,360 Speaker 6: is more dangerous than a lot of people assumed, and 1652 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,960 Speaker 6: they assumed that they could rely on the American people. 1653 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,840 Speaker 6: But going back to the pharmaceuticals, if we can't, Wow, 1654 01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 6: that was a secuitous route, Yeah it was, but you know, 1655 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:04,400 Speaker 6: you made a good analogy there. In my mind, we 1656 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:08,400 Speaker 6: have a problem. It's a national security problem. I mean, 1657 01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,240 Speaker 6: we rely on China. 1658 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:10,559 Speaker 5: There. 1659 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 6: You have it for the IPAs, the ingredients that go 1660 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:23,760 Speaker 6: into the drugs, the pharmaceutical ingredients, and the Chinese they 1661 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,519 Speaker 6: control that. And we have the capability here to make 1662 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 6: the ksms, the key starting materials, and this is where 1663 01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 6: we're going as a nation, that we make them here. 1664 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:38,719 Speaker 6: Those are the starting materials to make the pharmaceutical ingredients 1665 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 6: that we need for our. 1666 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,000 Speaker 1: Drugs, so we can make our own fentanyl precursors. 1667 01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 6: Well, China is doing a good job with that. We 1668 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 6: don't have to worry about that. They covered death. 1669 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:50,720 Speaker 1: That's the point. Though. Precursors are the key components through 1670 01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:54,519 Speaker 1: the larger fully manufactured pharmaceutical We should be making all 1671 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 1: of that so we can have a supply of our 1672 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:58,920 Speaker 1: own pharmaceuticals. If for no other reason, then our American 1673 01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,400 Speaker 1: military depends upon China for pharmaceuticals. 1674 01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:03,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, as I've said, I've said it on here many times. 1675 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:05,840 Speaker 6: If you'd have told me i was in Iraq that 1676 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,640 Speaker 6: we got to the point that our military relied on 1677 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:12,240 Speaker 6: China for the drugs we use on the battlefield. How 1678 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,439 Speaker 6: did we let ourselves get here? But that's the situation 1679 01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 6: we're in, and this administration is trying to, you know, 1680 01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,559 Speaker 6: bring that back. So let's get domestic. Let's have these 1681 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 6: capabilities to synthetically make the materials that we need, not 1682 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,400 Speaker 6: rely on China. Because that's another thing. When when President 1683 01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 6: Trump goes to talk to President She about trade, President 1684 01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:37,200 Speaker 6: she knows, he goes, hey, mister President, you can't make 1685 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 6: your own drugs. They're made here, right And not only that, 1686 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,599 Speaker 6: there's the danger of sabotage and everything else that China 1687 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,000 Speaker 6: can put into our drugs because they're made there. The 1688 01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 6: FDA is not over there each and every day making 1689 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:50,960 Speaker 6: sure that these things are done right now. 1690 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,559 Speaker 1: No, you might want to think about that when you're 1691 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,760 Speaker 1: buying your imported seafood as well, farm raise or not 1692 01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:59,640 Speaker 1: there studying and seeing if it's clean. We don't have 1693 01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:04,240 Speaker 1: a permanent presence there at food manufacturing facilities or in 1694 01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,680 Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, which of course are far more 1695 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,559 Speaker 1: important than the food. We have choices when it comes 1696 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: to food. We don't have choices when it comes to 1697 01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals and their origin. 1698 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, and the President was at Thermo Fisher here and 1699 01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 6: since the other day that's in the vein that we 1700 01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 6: are talking about what can we do on the domestic 1701 01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 6: front to do more to bring this stuff home. And 1702 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 6: you know what, let's continue to be the country that 1703 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 6: is the innovator of treatments and cures. You know, I 1704 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,040 Speaker 6: think one of the one of the most amazing ones 1705 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,200 Speaker 6: in recent history is a cure for hepatitis C. Yeah, 1706 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,360 Speaker 6: you know, and in Washington, when you the immediate response 1707 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:43,679 Speaker 6: is what's that going to cost? Well, if it costs 1708 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 6: twenty five thousand dollars, I understand that's an expense. But 1709 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,240 Speaker 6: do you know what a liver transplant costs? Do you 1710 01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 6: know what repeated hospitalizations and missing work is for the 1711 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 6: American economy? When people with hepatitis CE become ill, it's 1712 01:28:58,560 --> 01:28:59,040 Speaker 6: a problem. 1713 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 1: Well, and now we have cure. Well, they don't see 1714 01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 1: a word about costs when it comes to fentanyl over 1715 01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:04,680 Speaker 1: these is, they just talk about the human carnage and 1716 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,920 Speaker 1: hundreds of one hundred thousand people died. Oh my god, 1717 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Let's throw all the resources in the 1718 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:11,559 Speaker 1: world to the front lines on that and hand out 1719 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 1: needles and issue free narke and they don't care about 1720 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,439 Speaker 1: the expense of that. We have people dying a drug 1721 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 1: over this is something that is obviously preventable. Don't take drugs, correct, right, yeah, solution. 1722 01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,120 Speaker 6: Look, I'm in a situation right now with my kids. 1723 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 6: It's like you don't take candy from somebody else, you 1724 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 6: don't take anything. You don't take pills from somebody else. 1725 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 6: I mean, no one's offering them pills at their age, fortunately, 1726 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,320 Speaker 6: or you know, as far as I know, right, But 1727 01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 6: they get it. And I've told my son and you know, all. 1728 01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,640 Speaker 1: You got to do is visit a morgue. Really, that 1729 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,560 Speaker 1: may be a good family we can visit. Well, you 1730 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:51,320 Speaker 1: know this that's like scared straight. 1731 01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 6: You know, this is something that doctor Odell Owens may 1732 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:56,720 Speaker 6: rest in peace. When he went brand for Corner, that's 1733 01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:57,760 Speaker 6: what he was telling me. 1734 01:29:58,120 --> 01:29:58,680 Speaker 1: He wanted to do. 1735 01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:00,519 Speaker 6: This is why I supported him. He said, I'm going 1736 01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,000 Speaker 6: to bring high school kids into Morgue. I want them 1737 01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 6: to see it. And you know it's also the gang warfare, 1738 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,880 Speaker 6: but the drugs. This is where you'll end up. 1739 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, that's the second stop after you take them 1740 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,800 Speaker 1: through the Justice Center. From the Justice Center over to 1741 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 1: the Morgue. 1742 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 2: From fifty five care and see the talk station. 1743 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 1: Seven forty fifty five KRCD talk station A very happy 1744 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:26,600 Speaker 1: Friday to former Congressman retired colonel doctor and speaking of 1745 01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,600 Speaker 1: Catholic friends, I mentioned Kate of having a congress a 1746 01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:32,920 Speaker 1: former Congressman brad Winsterbin studio for a full hour here, 1747 01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:36,560 Speaker 1: really enjoying our conversation. And of course that triggered a 1748 01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:38,719 Speaker 1: comment from you when I mentioned Kate of having cemetery. 1749 01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mentioned that my wife and I have our 1750 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,040 Speaker 6: plots out there already, and they have a beautiful section 1751 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 6: for veterans, and that's that's what spurred us on.

So as 1765 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:19,600 Speaker 6: please please to do that. 1766 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 4: But you know. 1767 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,719 Speaker 6: You mentioned prayer during that commercial. 1768 01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,280 Speaker 1: Speaking of Catholic and prayer. We had a pope make 1769 01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: a request in connection with the war, Yeah, that it 1770 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:34,559 Speaker 1: should engage in dialogue. 1771 01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:38,760 Speaker 6: Our new American pope you know, said, you know, it 1772 01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 6: should be done through dialogue. 1773 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:41,040 Speaker 1: That is the way. 1774 01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:44,000 Speaker 6: Well, that is a way, and that is certainly a 1775 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,720 Speaker 6: way that has been tried and we've been at this 1776 01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:49,800 Speaker 6: for forty some years. So maybe the dialogue needs to 1777 01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:51,880 Speaker 6: be more with God, because I can tell you that's 1778 01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:53,880 Speaker 6: one of the things that my family is doing is 1779 01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,120 Speaker 6: we are praying for our troops, we are praying for 1780 01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,760 Speaker 6: our country, and we're really praying for the world that 1781 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 6: we can eliminate this evil that has been here for 1782 01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:02,040 Speaker 6: so long. 1783 01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,960 Speaker 1: This goes back so deadly, Bishop that you mentioned earlier 1784 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 1: in the Prayer book from the nineteen fifties. You want 1785 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,879 Speaker 1: to leave the world a better place as a consequence 1786 01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:11,920 Speaker 1: of the war. That's that's the idea of war. 1787 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 6: And you know, we we were then talking offline about 1788 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:22,880 Speaker 6: how we were able to take out the leadership over 1789 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:28,200 Speaker 6: in Iran so easily. Well, we were using dialogue. We 1790 01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 6: were using dialogue with them, which was going nowhere. 1791 01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,439 Speaker 1: Right, And don't forget we also used bribes. Barack Obama 1792 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:36,719 Speaker 1: shipped them over billions of dollars in cash. 1793 01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:38,639 Speaker 5: Cash. 1794 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:40,880 Speaker 6: You know, we've been doing this too long. You took 1795 01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,200 Speaker 6: the words out of my mouth again, you know, No, 1796 01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:43,800 Speaker 6: that's fine. 1797 01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 1: I remember the palet. I mean, if not a wire transfer, 1798 01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,280 Speaker 1: not going to a bank, which had been simple, they 1799 01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,719 Speaker 1: delivered palettes of cash. 1800 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,080 Speaker 6: Yes, and that was their form of dialogue also with cash. 1801 01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 6: And I really think that over time, especially in that situation, 1802 01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,280 Speaker 6: I think this was as a president that was hoping 1803 01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:04,880 Speaker 6: that any type of problem, them getting nuclear whatever, They 1804 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,200 Speaker 6: were even saying, we're just trying, we're just putting it 1805 01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 6: off for a while. What are you putting it off 1806 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,880 Speaker 6: until your term is done to make somebody else's problem? 1807 01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:15,479 Speaker 6: And today I think that this the Trump administration. Donald 1808 01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:17,560 Speaker 6: Trump is saying, I don't want this to be the 1809 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,799 Speaker 6: next president's problem. This is now going to be something 1810 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,479 Speaker 6: that we want to we want to settle. But you know, 1811 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 6: we took out, we took out their leadership with the dialogue. 1812 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:32,280 Speaker 6: We were trying. We we've feigned that we were continuing. 1813 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,559 Speaker 1: Dialogue, didn't stop the nuclear development that they were still 1814 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,200 Speaker 1: engaging in in spite of the prior agreement we had 1815 01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:40,360 Speaker 1: reached for them. Right, And because Maureen's listening, I'm gonna say, 1816 01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,320 Speaker 1: maybe he was actually wanted the caliphate to be formed, Broc. 1817 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 1: Going back to your comment about Brock Obama as opposed 1818 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:46,840 Speaker 1: to just you know, let him get through his first term. 1819 01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:48,639 Speaker 1: There you go, Marine, I said it out loud. 1820 01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:52,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, And and certainly that may be on it. It 1821 01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,559 Speaker 6: could have been on his mind. I don't know. There's 1822 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,160 Speaker 6: a lot of people on yeah, he's gone and we're 1823 01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,120 Speaker 6: moving on. But we took out all those leaders and 1824 01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:03,280 Speaker 6: one day because they thought we were still having dialogue, 1825 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 6: and which was unbelievable that they, hey, we're going to 1826 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,400 Speaker 6: get together at the same place at the same time. 1827 01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 6: This is a concern I always had with things like 1828 01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:16,240 Speaker 6: the State of the Union address for us, for you know, 1829 01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,160 Speaker 6: everyone knows when this is taking place, and we have 1830 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 6: virtually our entire government there. 1831 01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:23,599 Speaker 1: In this situation. 1832 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:26,600 Speaker 6: That's that seems to me to be dangerous. And how 1833 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 6: do we have continuity of government? You know, in the Senate. 1834 01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:36,280 Speaker 6: In the Senate, if if a senator dies or is killed, right, 1835 01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:40,280 Speaker 6: they can be replaced by the governor immediately immediately. Not 1836 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:41,800 Speaker 6: so in the House. 1837 01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:45,080 Speaker 1: You wait for the next election. So there's the gun 1838 01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,599 Speaker 1: fire that you experience when they in that entirest unleashed 1839 01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:51,840 Speaker 1: fire on all of the Republican members of Congress. If 1840 01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 1: they had all been eradicated, the Democrats would have had 1841 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 1: full control until special elections had been held and we 1842 01:34:57,040 --> 01:35:00,320 Speaker 1: elected replacements for the slaughtered members of the Republican Party. 1843 01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:01,720 Speaker 1: That's the creepy, crazy thing. 1844 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:03,920 Speaker 6: I pointed out to the Democrats more than once, that 1845 01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,599 Speaker 6: was an insurrection, amen, And you didn't want to call 1846 01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:07,519 Speaker 6: that an insurrection. 1847 01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,360 Speaker 1: I had a list of targets planned ahead of time. 1848 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:13,759 Speaker 6: So what this bill does. And it was a Democrat 1849 01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 6: from Washington. It came to me and said, Brad, we 1850 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,960 Speaker 6: should do something about this. And you mentioned the baseball field, 1851 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 6: so did he. He said, you live through a potential 1852 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:27,080 Speaker 6: problem like this. So the idea on our bill is, 1853 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,479 Speaker 6: and it's still hanging out there, is that if you 1854 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,680 Speaker 6: get elected to Congress, you set aside five names of 1855 01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,720 Speaker 6: people to replace you, and if you are killed or 1856 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:40,080 Speaker 6: die while you're in office, then the governor can pick 1857 01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:42,880 Speaker 6: one of those people to take your place, keeping the 1858 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,320 Speaker 6: continuity of government in place. Plus also, if you're in 1859 01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:50,599 Speaker 6: the majority, you still maintain the majority. It doesn't mean 1860 01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,640 Speaker 6: you get to hold that seat. You only hold it 1861 01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,120 Speaker 6: until there is a special election. And you can run 1862 01:35:57,200 --> 01:35:59,760 Speaker 6: for that seat, sure, but you hold it until there 1863 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,800 Speaker 6: is a special election. And you know this is this 1864 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,960 Speaker 6: was a bipartisan idea, and I think it's a good one, 1865 01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 6: and I still think that the House needs to act 1866 01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,680 Speaker 6: on it because that is a threat. It is, And 1867 01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:13,960 Speaker 6: we dropped the bill on the day of the State 1868 01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,879 Speaker 6: of the Union intentionally. Why we still in Congress. 1869 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:19,280 Speaker 1: Well, I would get around that one all day long, 1870 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:23,040 Speaker 1: because you know, it's not difficult to envision the cold, 1871 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:25,960 Speaker 1: harsh reality that, yeah, a bomb could be dropped on 1872 01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:28,479 Speaker 1: any one of the meetings where they are gathering together 1873 01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:30,800 Speaker 1: and that would knock us back on our heels for 1874 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 1: god knows how long. Simple solution too, and it's an 1875 01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:38,479 Speaker 1: outstanding idea, bipartisanship. One more with former congress and Brad Winster. First, 1876 01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 1: a word for color in Happy Friday.

I 1885 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,000 Speaker 6: just I'm so proud of our military and the things 1886 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,960 Speaker 6: that they've been carrying out in this last year. 1887 01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:14,200 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, say what you want about it. 1888 01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:18,800 Speaker 1: The predicate for whatever, that Venezuela and raid was amazing, 1889 01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:22,920 Speaker 1: totally amazing, right and zip in, zip out, like going 1890 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:27,360 Speaker 1: to Wisconsin exactly. Actually it might have been tougher in Wisconsin. 1891 01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:29,599 Speaker 1: That will be a reference to Stripe for those out 1892 01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:32,559 Speaker 1: there too young to remember having seen the movie. Love 1893 01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:33,000 Speaker 1: the movie. 1894 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:39,000 Speaker 6: I always say it from that movie because my father's 1895 01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:43,799 Speaker 6: German and Irish, my mom's all Italian. Line from Stripes, 1896 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:49,000 Speaker 6: we get kicked out of every decent country in the world. Anyway, 1897 01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:52,439 Speaker 6: you know, I just I'm feeling pretty patriotic about the 1898 01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,720 Speaker 6: work that's being done, and we really need to keep 1899 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:56,519 Speaker 6: our troops in mind, and I don't care what side 1900 01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:58,160 Speaker 6: of the aisle you're on. If you can't do that, 1901 01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:01,559 Speaker 6: then you have a problem because they're doing what they've 1902 01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:04,560 Speaker 6: been asked to do, and they're doing it really with 1903 01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 6: such precision. And war is difficult, and you know, I 1904 01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:13,320 Speaker 6: want to play respects to those that have lost their life, 1905 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 6: not only in our military, but now as you're seeing 1906 01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:21,000 Speaker 6: rand just launching missiles at other countries, you know people 1907 01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:23,680 Speaker 6: around the world that are innocently being killed, people that 1908 01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:28,519 Speaker 6: had nothing to do with this skirmish except quietly cheering 1909 01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,439 Speaker 6: us on to try and change this evil that's existed. 1910 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 6: But when I think about our military, Brian, there's a 1911 01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,640 Speaker 6: line that I've used in many talks and something that 1912 01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:40,400 Speaker 6: I wrote when I've got a tribute to the flag. 1913 01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:45,720 Speaker 6: One time I said, you know, evildoers fear her and 1914 01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 6: those in need pray for her arrival. And I really 1915 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,920 Speaker 6: think that that's something that we are doing right now. 1916 01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:56,080 Speaker 6: We're addressing the evil doers in the world and those 1917 01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:59,599 Speaker 6: in need have prayed for this arrival for quite some time. 1918 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,720 Speaker 1: And let us remind as we started out talking about it, 1919 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:07,080 Speaker 1: the UN resolution passed overwhelming one hundred percent, no no votes, 1920 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 1: A couple of extempsions from the obvious China and Russia, 1921 01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,400 Speaker 1: who could have vetoted it. That's the world telling Iran. 1922 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:15,920 Speaker 1: I think it's over when you, I mean, can you. 1923 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to go too far my assessment of 1924 01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:23,759 Speaker 1: that resolution, but they all correctively condemned Iran no reference 1925 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:24,559 Speaker 1: to Israel. 1926 01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,479 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, this should really bring focus to 1927 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 6: the American people and people around the world about what 1928 01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,000 Speaker 6: can be good in the world and what is evil 1929 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:36,599 Speaker 6: in the world. 1930 01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:38,559 Speaker 1: And we have our fights within. 1931 01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,439 Speaker 6: Let's keep them to policy, okay, let's not keep them 1932 01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:45,560 Speaker 6: to the values that America should stand for. And you know, 1933 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,559 Speaker 6: and everything I say in speeches a lot, especially when 1934 01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:52,600 Speaker 6: I'm talking about service, and sometimes I combine faith with service. Obviously, 1935 01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:56,360 Speaker 6: I say, you know, even if you have no faith, 1936 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,880 Speaker 6: none of us are getting out of here alive.

It's an impressive career. And before we 1982 01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:53,519 Speaker 1: get started, I just want to ask you what are 1983 01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:56,280 Speaker 1: you most proud of as your accomplishments as treasurer before 1984 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,040 Speaker 1: we pivot over to what you might do as Secretary 1985 01:41:58,040 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 1: of State. 1986 01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:03,479 Speaker 5: Brian Well, I really appreciate that, and can you hear me, Okay, 1987 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:05,280 Speaker 5: is the connection all right? 1988 01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:09,520 Speaker 1: Do you sound fine? From my perspective our treasure spread. 1989 01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:12,080 Speaker 5: No, that's great. Well, you know, I think that one 1990 01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:14,040 Speaker 5: of the things that I'm most proud of in the 1991 01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:16,720 Speaker 5: Treasury is that we've improved the credit rating of the 1992 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,000 Speaker 5: state of Ohio, and believe it or not, our credit rating, 1993 01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:22,880 Speaker 5: which we got the first upgrade since nineteen seventy nine, 1994 01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:29,640 Speaker 5: statiscal management of our state, but also the underlying economics 1995 01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 5: and we get a more diverse economy. I think that 1996 01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:35,639 Speaker 5: we're doing very well. There's more work to be done. 1997 01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:38,720 Speaker 5: We want to create more jobs, better paying jobs. We 1998 01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,760 Speaker 5: want to return industry to our state from overseas and 1999 01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:46,120 Speaker 5: make sure that we reclaim our manufacturing base here in 2000 01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,759 Speaker 5: the United States. But we've got a lot of energy 2001 01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:54,640 Speaker 5: underneath our feet, a lot of water with lake to 2002 01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:57,280 Speaker 5: the north and our river to the south, and just 2003 01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 5: an incredible workforce that can't be replicated the rest of 2004 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 5: the United States. And I think our credit rating upgrade 2005 01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:04,080 Speaker 5: reflects that. 2006 01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:06,479 Speaker 1: That certainly lowers are borrowing costs the extent we have 2007 01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:07,320 Speaker 1: to borrow any money. 2008 01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:11,040 Speaker 5: It does and you know, an amazing thing is in 2009 01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:13,360 Speaker 5: some cases our credit rating is better than that of 2010 01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:14,599 Speaker 5: the United States bonds. 2011 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:19,360 Speaker 1: Don't make me that's a softball in my neighborhood. I 2012 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:21,920 Speaker 1: am a deficit hawk, and we spend too much money 2013 01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:24,519 Speaker 1: and our government's overly bloated. If I was a credit agency, 2014 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:26,559 Speaker 1: I would probably rank it a hell of a lot 2015 01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 1: lower where the US credit currently stands. But that's a 2016 01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,960 Speaker 1: subject for another day. One of the key roles is 2017 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,600 Speaker 1: Secretary of State is voter integrity. And I know you 2018 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,559 Speaker 1: your campaign website for my folks in the audience want 2019 01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:40,920 Speaker 1: to check you out. Sprague spr a Gue four f 2020 01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:43,040 Speaker 1: o r Ohio dot com, spreage for Ohio dot com. 2021 01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:44,800 Speaker 1: You can see where he is on the issues, but 2022 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:47,840 Speaker 1: specifically election integrity. Congressman Winster wanted me to thank you 2023 01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,439 Speaker 1: for your efforts on voter I d here in the 2024 01:43:50,479 --> 01:43:52,519 Speaker 1: state of Ohio. You're saying that. As he walked out, 2025 01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:55,960 Speaker 1: I applaud them as well. Where are you? For example, 2026 01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:58,400 Speaker 1: on the idea of computer ballots, A lot of my 2027 01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:01,760 Speaker 1: listeners maybe leaning conspiracy theory, but I think they have 2028 01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:03,640 Speaker 1: a lot of justification to be worried about that. If 2029 01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:06,599 Speaker 1: you can't go back and check it against a paper ballot, 2030 01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 1: for example, you have to trust that the computer's crunching 2031 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:12,000 Speaker 1: the numbers right, and the manufacturers won't give you access 2032 01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,599 Speaker 1: to the code. So I call that a problem. 2033 01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:17,639 Speaker 5: Well, you know what we do in the financial world 2034 01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:19,640 Speaker 5: is we have a dual system. So you have a 2035 01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,720 Speaker 5: paper audit trail. That's why I want to see as 2036 01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:25,639 Speaker 5: the next Secretary State, make sure that we use paper ballots. 2037 01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,880 Speaker 5: A paper ballot that's a separate printed piece of paper 2038 01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,240 Speaker 5: that you can see who you voted for, that you 2039 01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,439 Speaker 5: submit as your vote, and that's actually with you. How 2040 01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:39,080 Speaker 5: constitution says. It says that all elections will be by 2041 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,840 Speaker 5: secret ballot, and the definition of a ballot is a 2042 01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,880 Speaker 5: piece of paper, and you'll submit that vote and then 2043 01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:47,439 Speaker 5: we run it through the tabulation machine. That way, we 2044 01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,560 Speaker 5: get the results immediately that night, just as you're used to, 2045 01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,040 Speaker 5: and we know who one who lost and how many 2046 01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,880 Speaker 5: votes were counted. But there's two things that happen during 2047 01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,880 Speaker 5: that process. First of all, you create a perfect and 2048 01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:03,000 Speaker 5: immutable audit trail by submitting that piece of paper, and 2049 01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 5: we can go back and we will count the paper 2050 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,360 Speaker 5: to make sure that the machines are accurate and that 2051 01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:10,800 Speaker 5: they're telling us the truth. And The second thing is 2052 01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:12,960 Speaker 5: you create an audit trail as well, by the number 2053 01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:15,439 Speaker 5: of votes casts who won, who lost, that you can 2054 01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,679 Speaker 5: go back and audit that. We'd like to actually create 2055 01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,479 Speaker 5: and add a secondary audit as well, and believe me, 2056 01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 5: I know how to audit things, So this would be 2057 01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:28,800 Speaker 5: a secondary audit for the bipartisan chain of custody for 2058 01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:32,000 Speaker 5: the ballots themselves. And the great thing about that is, 2059 01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,560 Speaker 5: you know you have the machine saying X, and you 2060 01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,400 Speaker 5: have the paper ballots saying why. You know that you 2061 01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:40,000 Speaker 5: can go back to the paper ballots at the precinct level, 2062 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 5: recount them and make sure that the vote is accurate. 2063 01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,599 Speaker 5: That's the only way that you can ensure one hundred 2064 01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,840 Speaker 5: percent accurate elections one hundred percent of the time. 2065 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:55,240 Speaker 1: Is anyone opposing that conceptually, Robert Sprague? 2066 01:45:56,160 --> 01:46:00,400 Speaker 5: You know, I think I don't think anybody's opposing that necesscessarily. 2067 01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:02,759 Speaker 5: I think the issue is going to be with funding. 2068 01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,840 Speaker 5: We've got to get. You know, as you probably well know, 2069 01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:08,439 Speaker 5: our elections are held at the county level. And by 2070 01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:10,920 Speaker 5: the way, I don't want to tear down our county 2071 01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,599 Speaker 5: boards of elections. They do a fantastic job. I'm running 2072 01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,880 Speaker 5: to build them up, and we got to be very 2073 01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:21,479 Speaker 5: careful with that because I mean our precinct officials of 2074 01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:25,760 Speaker 5: courses bipartisan. We are Republicans and Democrats to work at 2075 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:29,000 Speaker 5: these polling locations to hold each other accountable and make 2076 01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 5: sure that everyone follows the rules. And that's the reason 2077 01:46:31,960 --> 01:46:34,759 Speaker 5: our system works so well. In the state of Ohio. 2078 01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:38,400 Speaker 5: We do elections right here, but at the county level 2079 01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:41,599 Speaker 5: sometimes they lack the funding to be able to upgrade 2080 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:45,439 Speaker 5: to different machines and machines that can work with a 2081 01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:48,000 Speaker 5: paper ballot. And I'm going to work with the General 2082 01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,280 Speaker 5: Assembly to make sure that we find the funding to 2083 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,520 Speaker 5: be able to run our elections securely. 2084 01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:54,920 Speaker 1: Well, I know you're responsible for licensing business as a 2085 01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:57,320 Speaker 1: secretary of State. Is there anything the Secretary of State 2086 01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:03,000 Speaker 1: can do pivoting over to fraud that might aid and 2087 01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:05,720 Speaker 1: assist the state of ohiow and saving money that's going 2088 01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,120 Speaker 1: out in fraud, waste and abuse, which many have calculated 2089 01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,200 Speaker 1: in the billions of dollars. I keep looking at funding 2090 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:11,640 Speaker 1: sources and a lot of my listeners will be the 2091 01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:13,400 Speaker 1: first person to say, well, if we didn't let so 2092 01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:15,320 Speaker 1: much money go out the door in fraud waste, and abuse. 2093 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,840 Speaker 1: We'd have enough money to fill in the BLANKO in 2094 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:21,320 Speaker 1: this case maybe increase election integrity. So does the Secretary 2095 01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:24,000 Speaker 1: of State have a role in preventing fraud like looking 2096 01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 1: into licensure ahead of time before say granting a leering 2097 01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:30,759 Speaker 1: center license. 2098 01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:36,880 Speaker 5: Sure, a learning center license. Absolutely, I'll tell you, well, 2099 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:38,920 Speaker 5: that goes back to something I want to talk about 2100 01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:43,360 Speaker 5: with the integrity of the election system. But let's just 2101 01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:45,560 Speaker 5: talk a little bit about the filing. 2102 01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:46,120 Speaker 4: Of the businesses. 2103 01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:48,240 Speaker 5: I've got some ideas around this that I can think 2104 01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:51,679 Speaker 5: can help our small businesses in our state. But first 2105 01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:53,720 Speaker 5: let me address this issue of fraud. And that's a 2106 01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,360 Speaker 5: big issue. I mean, we can remember that how do 2107 01:47:56,439 --> 01:48:00,320 Speaker 5: people commit fraud? They typically committed over the internet normally 2108 01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:03,280 Speaker 5: with self attestation is when we tend to trust people 2109 01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,720 Speaker 5: to do the right thing. You can see that it's 2110 01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:09,320 Speaker 5: not working well for the Somali daycares up in Minnesota. 2111 01:48:09,479 --> 01:48:11,840 Speaker 5: You have to trust, but verify and you've got to 2112 01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:16,120 Speaker 5: make sure that the documentation is in place. And so 2113 01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:19,559 Speaker 5: to your point, there is a tremendous amount of waste 2114 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,719 Speaker 5: and fraud within the system. We saw that during COVID 2115 01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:27,759 Speaker 5: with the unemployment compensation system of four point three billion 2116 01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:30,320 Speaker 5: dollar fraud there. But at the end of the day, 2117 01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:35,160 Speaker 5: you've got to demand that documentation from those businesses as 2118 01:48:35,240 --> 01:48:37,960 Speaker 5: they go through and process those transactions to make sure 2119 01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 5: that they're valid transactions. I mean, I think it's a 2120 01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:45,360 Speaker 5: little bit difficult a Secretary of State, just because when 2121 01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:48,719 Speaker 5: people are filing the paperwork to start a new business, 2122 01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:52,439 Speaker 5: they've not done anything wrong. So all the fraud happens 2123 01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:56,479 Speaker 5: after you incorporate, right, and you don't know what people 2124 01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,720 Speaker 5: are going to do. Obviously, that's not the way our 2125 01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:02,920 Speaker 5: criminal justice system works or should work. So we want 2126 01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:04,680 Speaker 5: to make sure that we hold people accountable for what 2127 01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,880 Speaker 5: they do or what they do wrong. My idea for 2128 01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,400 Speaker 5: the front and I was an entrepreneur myself, so I 2129 01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:15,320 Speaker 5: started my own business ran it successfully for several years. 2130 01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:18,760 Speaker 5: We had an international business. Actually did a little work 2131 01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:22,439 Speaker 5: in London and Mexico City and some other places. I 2132 01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:26,000 Speaker 5: can remember when we started that business. The one thing 2133 01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:28,439 Speaker 5: we needed was money. We needed some cash up front 2134 01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:30,560 Speaker 5: to get our business started. There are a lot of 2135 01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:35,320 Speaker 5: government programs out there and nobody knows what they qualify for. 2136 01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:39,160 Speaker 5: I would love to create an artificial intelligence skin on 2137 01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:43,559 Speaker 5: top of the business application piece, so that when new 2138 01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:47,120 Speaker 5: businesses are getting started they have access to maybe thousands 2139 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:51,040 Speaker 5: of different programs and maybe even some private funding like 2140 01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:55,160 Speaker 5: from the bank, that we would provide them guidance to 2141 01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:57,560 Speaker 5: access all those funding mechanisms. 2142 01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:00,880 Speaker 1: Fair enough, now I have had say the privilege. I'm 2143 01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:02,640 Speaker 1: really impressed by the man. And this is not to 2144 01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,320 Speaker 1: give Brian Thomas as an endorsement or anything. I know 2145 01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,000 Speaker 1: the Republican Party has endorsed you in advance of the primary, 2146 01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:11,760 Speaker 1: and given the collective of my listening audience, that concept 2147 01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:13,360 Speaker 1: has kind of rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. 2148 01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:15,280 Speaker 1: Why didn't we get a say in that? I know 2149 01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,720 Speaker 1: the Advance endorsed Vivik Ramaswami too for governor. So I 2150 01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,479 Speaker 1: want to get your position on pre primary endorsements, but 2151 01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:25,439 Speaker 1: also a question about whether you'll be debating Marcel Sturbiche Again. 2152 01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:28,320 Speaker 1: I liked the guy. I'm impressed by his energy and 2153 01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:30,200 Speaker 1: of course his service to our country. So will there 2154 01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:31,920 Speaker 1: be a debate on the heels of what do you 2155 01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,040 Speaker 1: say about the advanced primary endorsements? 2156 01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:37,320 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, look, at the end of the day, 2157 01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:41,559 Speaker 5: the people of the Republican Party the primary electorate are 2158 01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:44,200 Speaker 5: the people that make the decision. Of course, I'm honored 2159 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:47,479 Speaker 5: to get the indorsement of the High Republican Party. Obviously 2160 01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:50,439 Speaker 5: it's a high bar. They've known me and they've endorsed 2161 01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:52,880 Speaker 5: me for the Treasurer's office, and I'd like to think 2162 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:54,920 Speaker 5: that we've done a good and honorable job in the 2163 01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:58,439 Speaker 5: Treasurer's office for people, and in this particular case, I 2164 01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:00,880 Speaker 5: think it's one of those things where you do want 2165 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:04,599 Speaker 5: a proven leader in the Secretary of State's office because 2166 01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,120 Speaker 5: you want someone that understands how to run an office 2167 01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:10,880 Speaker 5: and run an election. Well, you know, with regards to 2168 01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,559 Speaker 5: a debate with Marcel, we'll see if we can find 2169 01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:17,320 Speaker 5: a time and some sort of a platform to make 2170 01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:19,439 Speaker 5: it fair for everyone. I don't know that that's what 2171 01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:22,680 Speaker 5: we're going to do. I noticed that last time when 2172 01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,200 Speaker 5: Trump ran, when he was ahead of the other Republican contenders, 2173 01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:28,600 Speaker 5: he didn't enter any of the debate stages. But I 2174 01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:30,080 Speaker 5: think that's still up in the air as to what 2175 01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:32,240 Speaker 5: we do on that. What I want to talk about 2176 01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:34,720 Speaker 5: really is election security, and I want to move to 2177 01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:39,200 Speaker 5: an upfront citizenship check that exactly only American citizens, you know, 2178 01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:41,000 Speaker 5: can vote in our elections. And I want to talk 2179 01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,920 Speaker 5: about those kind of issues with in our Republican primary. 2180 01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:47,400 Speaker 1: Well, you know, percon where you read my mind because 2181 01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:48,840 Speaker 1: the last question is going to ask you for we're 2182 01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:50,559 Speaker 1: parted company, because we were going to part company here 2183 01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:54,360 Speaker 1: momentarily since we're out of time. Should only citizens be 2184 01:51:54,439 --> 01:51:56,280 Speaker 1: allowed to vote in a high elections? Of course, that's 2185 01:51:56,320 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 1: a federal law. On federal elections, you have to be 2186 01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:01,040 Speaker 1: a citizen, but that is not necessarily apply to state issues. 2187 01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:02,720 Speaker 1: So where are we in the state of Ohio on 2188 01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:03,040 Speaker 1: that one. 2189 01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:06,519 Speaker 5: Well, here's the interesting thing. In Article five of the 2190 01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:09,720 Speaker 5: Ohio Constitution, which was passed in twenty twenty two by 2191 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:14,920 Speaker 5: seventy seven percent of ohiolands, it says that only American 2192 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:18,160 Speaker 5: citizens can vote in Ohio elections. Now, I can tell 2193 01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:21,680 Speaker 5: you that there are members of the Democratic Party that 2194 01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:25,040 Speaker 5: do not believe that they want to see, you know, 2195 01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:28,720 Speaker 5: non citizens be able to vote in Ohio elections, and 2196 01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,760 Speaker 5: some of them have voted for that and against that 2197 01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:36,200 Speaker 5: language in the Constitution on the House floor. But it 2198 01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:38,960 Speaker 5: is important for us. I believe in upholding the rule 2199 01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:42,360 Speaker 5: of law. That's my number one job and I will 2200 01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:44,680 Speaker 5: do it. And so in order to uphold the rule 2201 01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:46,840 Speaker 5: of law in the constitution of the State of Ohio. 2202 01:52:47,280 --> 01:52:50,960 Speaker 5: We must there is no debate. We must move to 2203 01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:55,599 Speaker 5: a front end citizenship check where we require documentary proof 2204 01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:59,040 Speaker 5: of citizenship when someone registers to vote. Now, when you 2205 01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:01,080 Speaker 5: go to vote, all you have to show as your photo, 2206 01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:05,719 Speaker 5: idea or your driver's license. So but when you registered 2207 01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:08,439 Speaker 5: a vote, you do need to show proof that you 2208 01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:09,719 Speaker 5: are an American citizen. 2209 01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:13,519 Speaker 1: And then listen, Lawyer, I may be, but I'm not 2210 01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:15,880 Speaker 1: familiar with every single provision of hell Constitution. So you 2211 01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,400 Speaker 1: enlighten me on that that it's already there. So our 2212 01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:21,760 Speaker 1: constitution demands action on that point. 2213 01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:26,160 Speaker 5: I could argue absolutely, I would. That's a great way 2214 01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:29,760 Speaker 5: to put it. That absolutely demands that we uphold the constitution, 2215 01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:32,799 Speaker 5: and the only way to do that is trust, but verify. 2216 01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:35,360 Speaker 5: And further, Brian, I will tell you that I want 2217 01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:38,000 Speaker 5: to create an internal audit team to look at the 2218 01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:41,720 Speaker 5: current voter registration records and make sure that we identify 2219 01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:44,720 Speaker 5: any record that does not comply with Ohio law. In 2220 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:48,840 Speaker 5: other words, non citizens, illegal immigrants, people that have moved 2221 01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:51,640 Speaker 5: out of our state, which is probably one of the 2222 01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,640 Speaker 5: key pieces of voter fraud. That we have people that 2223 01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:58,040 Speaker 5: have moved out of our state and then also people 2224 01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,320 Speaker 5: that have passed away because none of them are a 2225 01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,559 Speaker 5: ballot electors under Ohio law. 2226 01:54:02,760 --> 01:54:05,720 Speaker 1: That all sounds like low hanging fruit. With modern technology. 2227 01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,040 Speaker 1: Robert Sprague running for Secretary of State. Find them online 2228 01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:10,800 Speaker 1: at Sprague for Ohio.

I really appreciate it. We 2237 01:54:29,120 --> 01:54:32,160 Speaker 5: want to keep our elections secure in the state of Ohio, 2238 01:54:32,240 --> 01:54:34,320 Speaker 5: and I appreciate it coming on and talking a little 2239 01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:35,720 Speaker 5: bit about election security with you. 2240 01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:43,160 Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian opening up eight fifty five krs the 2241 01:54:43,360 --> 01:55:04,400 Speaker 1: talk station.

Without Joe Strecker, couldn't 2256 01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:41,600 Speaker 1: do this program. I'm gonna give Joe a tremendous amount 2257 01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:45,600 Speaker 1: of praise and share that award that I got from 2258 01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:47,440 Speaker 1: Barrett Media making him to the top ten on the 2259 01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:51,320 Speaker 1: mid market programs morning shows here in the across the 2260 01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:55,040 Speaker 1: entire United States. So without Joe, there's no way in 2261 01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:58,240 Speaker 1: God's name I'd have made that list. So Joe Strecker, 2262 01:55:58,280 --> 01:56:00,520 Speaker 1: he'll also produce your podcast if you're in interested in that, 2263 01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:04,320 Speaker 1: So coming up, and you know it's a perfect topic 2264 01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:06,960 Speaker 1: of this. And I keep laughing because I go to 2265 01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:09,880 Speaker 1: the Ohio Pressnetwork dot com. That's Jack Windsor's site, and 2266 01:56:09,880 --> 01:56:12,280 Speaker 1: he comes on the program every Friday at eight thirty, 2267 01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:14,880 Speaker 1: which will be on next But he's been posting stories 2268 01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:17,880 Speaker 1: about these Bigfoot sightings, but he hasn't chimed in on it. 2269 01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:20,360 Speaker 1: It's almost like, wait a minute, does he believe in Bigfoot? 2270 01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:22,400 Speaker 1: If all the things that are going on in the 2271 01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:24,240 Speaker 1: state of high in the world, that Bigfoot is going 2272 01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:28,040 Speaker 1: to dominate the conversation. There's been reports up in northern 2273 01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:31,400 Speaker 1: Ohio that Bigfoot's on the move. And it was just 2274 01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:33,880 Speaker 1: with great laughter I saw since Windsor was coming on 2275 01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:36,000 Speaker 1: and Joe put that out as a topic of conversation. 2276 01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:41,280 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal John Jurgenson article, new Bigfoot documentary helps 2277 01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:45,760 Speaker 1: explain our conspiracy minded era. In the nineteen sixties, a 2278 01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:49,080 Speaker 1: shaky film shot in the wilderness helped launch the bigfoot industry. 2279 01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,600 Speaker 1: Notice the emphasis I placed on that word enriching and 2280 01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:55,720 Speaker 1: then upending the lives of the men behind it. And 2281 01:56:55,760 --> 01:56:59,680 Speaker 1: there's a new movie out capturing Bigfoot chronicling the fallout. 2282 01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:04,400 Speaker 1: Apparently Roger Patterson, who shot that famous nineteen sixty seven 2283 01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:09,000 Speaker 1: Bigfoot film with Bigfoot casually lumbered along in the woods there. Well, 2284 01:57:09,760 --> 01:57:12,680 Speaker 1: it was staged, shocking no one, well except for the 2285 01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:16,040 Speaker 1: Bigfoot believers, apparently his brother in law. There's new footage 2286 01:57:16,240 --> 01:57:18,200 Speaker 1: that came out from a Kodak reel going back to 2287 01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:22,400 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six with Patterson's camera sixteen millimeter. It was 2288 01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:24,960 Speaker 1: tracking a man in costume which turned out to be 2289 01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,880 Speaker 1: his brother in law, moving in a similar fashion to 2290 01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,520 Speaker 1: the shoot from nineteen sixty seven that became so famous. 2291 01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:33,280 Speaker 1: Why would people continue to lie on that? His son 2292 01:57:33,320 --> 01:57:35,960 Speaker 1: apparently knew that it was a lie. His wife perpetuated 2293 01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:39,720 Speaker 1: the myth as well. His son's now talking. Well, they 2294 01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:42,600 Speaker 1: kept it going because it was making a lot of money. 2295 01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:46,400 Speaker 1: That film itself, you have to pay royalties to run it, 2296 01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:51,360 Speaker 1: and in fact, the Capturing Bigfoot documentary folks, because it's 2297 01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:54,400 Speaker 1: in the film, of course, had to pay thirty thousand 2298 01:57:54,440 --> 01:58:00,680 Speaker 1: dollars for a licensing fee. So, yeah, suckers.

Fortunately 2305 01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:22,720 Speaker 1: you worked for a moment ago. I didn't think you 2306 01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:24,480 Speaker 1: were there, and that always worries the hell out of you. Joe, 2307 01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:27,680 Speaker 1: Joe's he there anyway, Jack, you find Jack online and 2308 01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,800 Speaker 1: you bookmark the website because you're gonna love at the 2309 01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:32,680 Speaker 1: Ohio Pressnetwork dot com reporting on lots of matters going 2310 01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:35,880 Speaker 1: on in Ohio, including topic number one. And I've been 2311 01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,280 Speaker 1: cracking up. What in the hell's with you in Bigfoot man? 2312 01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:43,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know I am not a Bigfoot believer, 2313 01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:45,600 Speaker 1: good cause you would have been duped like so many 2314 01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:48,040 Speaker 1: other people. Jack read the Wall Street Journal article from 2315 01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,360 Speaker 1: John Jurgensen outlining the new movie that came out, letting 2316 01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:53,800 Speaker 1: everybody know that it was all a hoax, going back 2317 01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:55,960 Speaker 1: to what his dad did and faking that video back 2318 01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:57,160 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty seven. 2319 01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,280 Speaker 7: Thank you for pointing that out. So the part of 2320 01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:03,000 Speaker 7: why we published the story is that there were six 2321 01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:07,280 Speaker 7: and I used it in quote credible bigfoot sighting, incredible. 2322 01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:09,720 Speaker 7: When I talked about it on air, I said well, 2323 01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,040 Speaker 7: whoever deems them credible. Apparently it's the Bigfoot Society and 2324 01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:16,320 Speaker 7: the Bigfoot Mapping Project, probably two entities that want these 2325 01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:18,080 Speaker 7: things to be true, or at least want people to 2326 01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:20,640 Speaker 7: think they're true so that their membership and support goes up. 2327 01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:22,000 Speaker 1: But I digress sales. 2328 01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:25,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right. Here's what's interesting about this to me? 2329 01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:29,360 Speaker 7: Are there people who truly believe it? And what did 2330 01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:33,400 Speaker 7: these people see or are they lying? Okay, so it 2331 01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:36,400 Speaker 7: happens on six different occasions in one area, and maybe 2332 01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:39,240 Speaker 7: it is some conspiracy that ties them all together. But 2333 01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:42,240 Speaker 7: here's where my head went, and it's probably wrong, but 2334 01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:46,080 Speaker 7: if you remember, there was a drug trafficking case involving 2335 01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:49,520 Speaker 7: an incarcerated prisoner and a big network of people, and 2336 01:59:49,640 --> 01:59:52,480 Speaker 7: what we learned as we dug through the facts is 2337 01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:55,800 Speaker 7: that one lady talked about using a drone that actually 2338 01:59:55,840 --> 01:59:59,280 Speaker 7: looked like a bird in order to ship these drugs. 2339 01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:02,480 Speaker 7: And I thought, Okay, wouldn't it be interesting if these 2340 02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,640 Speaker 7: people dressed as Bigfoot? We're out doing the various things. 2341 02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:08,400 Speaker 7: Now I shouldn't say that on air because now people 2342 02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:10,240 Speaker 7: will probably try to capture them and see what they 2343 02:00:10,240 --> 02:00:14,560 Speaker 7: hell they're up to. But Nonetheless, six credible Bigfoot sightings 2344 02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:18,040 Speaker 7: is something that hasn't happened since the nineteen seventies. I thought, well, 2345 02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:19,600 Speaker 7: we ought to probably take a look at that. 2346 02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:22,120 Speaker 1: Okay, I take issue with the word credible, because let 2347 02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:24,480 Speaker 1: me ask us a simple question, Jack Winsor, in all 2348 02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:27,040 Speaker 1: the years that people believed in Sasquatch and Bigfoot and 2349 02:00:27,120 --> 02:00:29,600 Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want to call this fictious being, 2350 02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:32,040 Speaker 1: question for those who really believe in them, where do 2351 02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:34,720 Speaker 1: the big Feet go to die? How come we haven't 2352 02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:37,320 Speaker 1: run across the big Foot carcass? Do they bury themselves 2353 02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:44,080 Speaker 1: ahead of time? Are they immortal? Just asking for a friend, Jack, Yeah. 2354 02:00:44,080 --> 02:00:46,080 Speaker 7: Well I'll tell you the answer that I get. They 2355 02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:51,240 Speaker 7: find these portals that are interdimensional travel tunnels, so maybe they. 2356 02:00:51,280 --> 02:00:52,000 Speaker 4: Go there to die. 2357 02:00:52,360 --> 02:00:56,000 Speaker 1: Credible sources confirming what Jack Winsor just said. And also 2358 02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:58,560 Speaker 1: the other correlator or corollary to this is are they 2359 02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:01,520 Speaker 1: some sort of a subset of the broader category of 2360 02:01:01,680 --> 02:01:04,600 Speaker 1: lizard people which some people think are real? 2361 02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:09,800 Speaker 7: Oh, lizard people, moth men. I don't know. There may 2362 02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:14,080 Speaker 7: be this entire genre of human like beings that we 2363 02:01:14,240 --> 02:01:15,640 Speaker 7: just don't understand yet. I don't know. 2364 02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:18,200 Speaker 1: Perhaps also where did chop a cobbra go to die? 2365 02:01:18,520 --> 02:01:20,440 Speaker 1: Apparently they're all over the place too, except we can't 2366 02:01:20,440 --> 02:01:21,720 Speaker 1: find any dead ones laying around. 2367 02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:24,760 Speaker 7: Okay, I will tell you this. Here's the best part 2368 02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:28,840 Speaker 7: of this for me. Do you know how Bigfoot tells time? Brian, 2369 02:01:29,480 --> 02:01:31,200 Speaker 7: No saf squatch? 2370 02:01:31,960 --> 02:01:35,080 Speaker 1: Okay, that's a Joe doesn't have a rim shot on 2371 02:01:35,280 --> 02:01:38,800 Speaker 1: sound bite, readily ready, readily handed, handy Jack. 2372 02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:41,040 Speaker 7: The kids didn't even laugh at that when I know 2373 02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:42,880 Speaker 7: it's not good, but that's all I could muster after 2374 02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:44,040 Speaker 7: this Bigfoot story. 2375 02:01:44,200 --> 02:01:46,360 Speaker 1: Fair enough, all right, we'll we'll be keeping in touch 2376 02:01:46,400 --> 02:01:48,280 Speaker 1: with your hog Press network dot com. Make sure we're 2377 02:01:48,320 --> 02:01:51,560 Speaker 1: all up to speed on Bigfoot in the sightings anyhow. 2378 02:01:51,680 --> 02:01:54,280 Speaker 1: Pivoting over, Donald Trump visited the other day. Your reaction 2379 02:01:54,440 --> 02:01:57,680 Speaker 1: to the visit, generally speaking, Jack windsor Well, I think. 2380 02:01:57,600 --> 02:01:59,920 Speaker 7: The reaction is it's good for him to be out 2381 02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:04,280 Speaker 7: and about touting his economic plan. Thermo Fisher is one 2382 02:02:04,280 --> 02:02:06,760 Speaker 7: of the Ohio places that he stopped by, and they 2383 02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:08,880 Speaker 7: were able to grab a quote from a woman there 2384 02:02:08,920 --> 02:02:11,640 Speaker 7: who says that their business is doubling because of some 2385 02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:14,080 Speaker 7: of the things that are going on. I think that's important, 2386 02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:16,600 Speaker 7: but don't lose sight of the fact that he stopped 2387 02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:20,320 Speaker 7: in Kentucky and in the same district where he has 2388 02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:24,680 Speaker 7: supported a primary candidate that is opposing Congressman Thomas. 2389 02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Massive ed Gower. 2390 02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:29,320 Speaker 7: That's right, that's right. No, I think it's important. It's 2391 02:02:29,320 --> 02:02:32,040 Speaker 7: all about messaging, Brian, and so as Trump gets out 2392 02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,560 Speaker 7: and spreads the message more about Trump RX, about drug prices, 2393 02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:38,480 Speaker 7: about the economy, and explains what's going on in Iran, 2394 02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:40,760 Speaker 7: I think that's better for Republicans that are that are 2395 02:02:40,800 --> 02:02:41,240 Speaker 7: aligned with. 2396 02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:45,640 Speaker 1: Him well and being aligned with Congress from Massy on 2397 02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:50,240 Speaker 1: things constitutional. He is a very strict interpretations to the Constitution. 2398 02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:52,840 Speaker 1: He fights to uphold it in the face of many 2399 02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:55,880 Speaker 1: and most politicians wanting to play fast and loose with 2400 02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:58,360 Speaker 1: the with what's in the Constitution, the rights that are 2401 02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:02,760 Speaker 1: protected by the Constitution. He didn't vow and swear an 2402 02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:05,120 Speaker 1: oath to the Republican Party, which is a statement from 2403 02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:08,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump that rubbed me the wrong way. While he 2404 02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:11,880 Speaker 1: was there in Kentucky, he attacked him for like abandoning 2405 02:03:11,960 --> 02:03:14,720 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. And yet Congress from Massie can stand 2406 02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:16,960 Speaker 1: on principle and say I swore an oath to the 2407 02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Constitution and he has done probably a better job than 2408 02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:24,240 Speaker 1: any of the politician at least reminding people about what 2409 02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:25,800 Speaker 1: the constitution says. 2410 02:03:26,720 --> 02:03:27,720 Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Yeah. 2411 02:03:27,840 --> 02:03:30,360 Speaker 7: If there is something I will say about Thomas Massey, 2412 02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:32,240 Speaker 7: I've had the honor of interviewing him twice. 2413 02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:34,720 Speaker 1: It's that you know what you're gonna get, amen. 2414 02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:37,440 Speaker 7: Thomas Massey comes from the same position every single time. 2415 02:03:37,560 --> 02:03:40,720 Speaker 7: Is is it constitutional? And if I strictly interpret that 2416 02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:43,120 Speaker 7: and try to spread that out over this policy, over 2417 02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,200 Speaker 7: this position, you know where you are now. There are 2418 02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:49,000 Speaker 7: some Congressmen that are in some hot water about recent 2419 02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:52,320 Speaker 7: positions with respect to Iran that you kind of look 2420 02:03:52,360 --> 02:03:54,400 Speaker 7: at and go, eh, maybe you don't want to go there, 2421 02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:56,440 Speaker 7: But you know where Massy's coming from all the time. 2422 02:03:56,640 --> 02:03:56,840 Speaker 4: You do. 2423 02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,600 Speaker 1: And in spite of how great the outcome may end 2424 02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:02,160 Speaker 1: up for the entire globe with Iran, you still have 2425 02:04:02,240 --> 02:04:05,160 Speaker 1: to deal with the legal realities. There are different interpretations 2426 02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:06,800 Speaker 1: of what it means to declare war and who has 2427 02:04:06,840 --> 02:04:09,200 Speaker 1: that power. We have the Warpowers resolution to contend with too, 2428 02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:11,800 Speaker 1: which also may be in constitutional never tested in court, 2429 02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:15,480 Speaker 1: but different perceptions, different realities. You may not like what 2430 02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:17,560 Speaker 1: he says, but I think he is consistent as he 2431 02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:20,880 Speaker 1: always has been with his interpretation of the Constitution. So 2432 02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:23,000 Speaker 1: there we have it. We'll continue with Jack Winsor and 2433 02:04:23,040 --> 02:04:25,520 Speaker 1: found out what he thinks about Dwine's latest State of 2434 02:04:25,560 --> 02:04:28,040 Speaker 1: the State address eight fifty five Caroseeed he talks station 2435 02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:30,960 Speaker 1: always enjoyed these conversations with Jack Winsor from the Ohio 2436 02:04:31,040 --> 02:04:33,600 Speaker 1: Press Network editor in chief he is and he also 2437 02:04:33,680 --> 02:04:37,120 Speaker 1: writes many articles at the ohiopressnetwork dot com. Jack wins Or, 2438 02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:39,840 Speaker 1: I saw your piece on the state. Last State of 2439 02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:43,400 Speaker 1: the State we get from Governor Mike DeWine, your thoughts 2440 02:04:43,440 --> 02:04:45,120 Speaker 1: and comments, reactions, and some of the things he had 2441 02:04:45,120 --> 02:04:47,000 Speaker 1: to say. I know he talked a lot about artificial 2442 02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:51,280 Speaker 1: intelligence and tech issues, and I appreciate this sentiment behind that. 2443 02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:54,920 Speaker 1: He wants new law forcing cell phone tech manufacturers to 2444 02:04:54,960 --> 02:04:58,360 Speaker 1: make an automatic parental controls in there to let parents 2445 02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:02,360 Speaker 1: track and limit con There are applications out there you 2446 02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:05,080 Speaker 1: can do on your own if you're not informed along 2447 02:05:05,160 --> 02:05:07,240 Speaker 1: those lines. We have Tech Friday Dave Hatter every Friday 2448 02:05:07,280 --> 02:05:09,400 Speaker 1: in the morning show reminding us, yes, you can do 2449 02:05:09,560 --> 02:05:13,360 Speaker 1: that already. Do we need a law for this, Jack, No, 2450 02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:14,520 Speaker 1: we do not. 2451 02:05:15,040 --> 02:05:18,680 Speaker 7: This is again Governor Mike Dwine playing benevolent grandpa where 2452 02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:20,800 Speaker 7: he wants people to perceive him as the guy that 2453 02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,560 Speaker 7: cares about kids and takes care of everything. Now, this 2454 02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:27,360 Speaker 7: to me is no different than Shared Brown touting a 2455 02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:31,520 Speaker 7: shrinkflation bill telling businesses how they're going to package their products. 2456 02:05:31,600 --> 02:05:34,520 Speaker 7: Governor Mike Dwine might be well intended, but telling tech 2457 02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:36,800 Speaker 7: companies that they have to do X, Y and Z 2458 02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:40,200 Speaker 7: is him stepping over the line from the public sector 2459 02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,400 Speaker 7: into the private sector, where he has no business being 2460 02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:44,800 Speaker 7: and where lawmakers I don't think in this instance have 2461 02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:48,920 Speaker 7: any place to go what was popular. I actually agree 2462 02:05:48,960 --> 02:05:53,080 Speaker 7: we have to get our minds and laws around. This 2463 02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:57,240 Speaker 7: is tackling some of the AI dangers. You've seen headlines 2464 02:05:57,240 --> 02:05:59,280 Speaker 7: in the past couple of weeks about people who are 2465 02:05:59,400 --> 02:06:04,080 Speaker 7: using AI I and they're making those AI caricatures or 2466 02:06:04,120 --> 02:06:06,800 Speaker 7: whatever you want to call them, look like minors for 2467 02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:09,720 Speaker 7: pornographic reasons. I think that is disgusting. I think that 2468 02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:12,160 Speaker 7: is something that we do need to come against, and 2469 02:06:12,280 --> 02:06:15,360 Speaker 7: so I think there is support for that. But then 2470 02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:18,360 Speaker 7: you know, he also talked about reviving Ohio's seat belt law. 2471 02:06:19,040 --> 02:06:21,160 Speaker 7: That's something that I think is going to die with 2472 02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:21,880 Speaker 7: that speech. 2473 02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:22,240 Speaker 1: Good. 2474 02:06:23,800 --> 02:06:25,840 Speaker 7: Absolutely, Look if I want, if you want to wear 2475 02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:27,960 Speaker 7: a seat belt, Brian and I did great bay telling 2476 02:06:28,040 --> 02:06:29,760 Speaker 7: me to do it is none of the guidelines. 2477 02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:31,960 Speaker 1: I ride a motorcycle, not as much as I used to, 2478 02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:34,520 Speaker 1: but always wear a helmet. You got a ten dollars head, 2479 02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:36,280 Speaker 1: at least put it in a ten dollars bucket. But 2480 02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you have to do it. 2481 02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 1: It just seems to make common sense. My head sliding 2482 02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:43,680 Speaker 1: along a pavement at fifty miles an hour without a 2483 02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:46,320 Speaker 1: helmet is enough of a threat to get me to 2484 02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:47,920 Speaker 1: do the right thing. Same thing with a seat belt. 2485 02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:49,640 Speaker 1: Put it on. You're going to end up in an 2486 02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:50,640 Speaker 1: airbag at minimum. 2487 02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:55,000 Speaker 7: Well, and if I'm wrong here, please prove me wrong 2488 02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:58,360 Speaker 7: and I will accept responsibility. But where this is asinine 2489 02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:00,120 Speaker 7: to me is that I think he actually commission to 2490 02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:02,880 Speaker 7: study about putting seat belts in school buses, because my 2491 02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:04,640 Speaker 7: argument is, if you're going to force somebody in a car, 2492 02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:08,320 Speaker 7: why aren't our kids seat belt protected then? And somehow 2493 02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:10,480 Speaker 7: I think that study came out that it was just 2494 02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:13,400 Speaker 7: not a good idea. Okay, if we have jumped the 2495 02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:15,600 Speaker 7: shark Konzi, If it's not a good idea for kids 2496 02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,240 Speaker 7: in the school bus, then we cannot require adults in 2497 02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:21,200 Speaker 7: cars to wear them as well. But one thing that 2498 02:07:21,280 --> 02:07:25,600 Speaker 7: I do appreciate is that he continues to tout Ohio's 2499 02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,320 Speaker 7: science of reading, which I think has a mountain of 2500 02:07:28,400 --> 02:07:31,879 Speaker 7: evidence behind it. I think Ohio, like many states, suffered 2501 02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:38,480 Speaker 7: just dangerous levels of academic and education and loss during COVID, 2502 02:07:38,960 --> 02:07:41,680 Speaker 7: and we need to make sure that kids maintain a 2503 02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:44,080 Speaker 7: level of literacy, and the science of reading is the 2504 02:07:44,120 --> 02:07:45,720 Speaker 7: way to do that. There are laws on the books, 2505 02:07:45,760 --> 02:07:47,400 Speaker 7: and he's saying, look, we're going to put together some 2506 02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:50,480 Speaker 7: groups to help make sure that our resources to help 2507 02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:53,000 Speaker 7: make sure that that is actually what is taught. The 2508 02:07:53,040 --> 02:07:55,320 Speaker 7: people who are teaching reading that they understand how to 2509 02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:58,240 Speaker 7: teach it. So that's a good thing. But then he 2510 02:07:58,360 --> 02:08:00,600 Speaker 7: kind of went down the path again. Oh, look, we're 2511 02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:03,440 Speaker 7: going to use another tool to track student attendance. We're 2512 02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:06,520 Speaker 7: going to create a dashboard. And he lost me again there. 2513 02:08:06,680 --> 02:08:09,880 Speaker 7: So there are a lot of people Brian in my 2514 02:08:10,040 --> 02:08:13,240 Speaker 7: world who are celebrating probably popped some champagne on Tuesday, 2515 02:08:13,480 --> 02:08:15,760 Speaker 7: realizing that that is the last time they need to 2516 02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:18,080 Speaker 7: watch or hear Governor Dwine deliver a state of the state. 2517 02:08:18,640 --> 02:08:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Amy Acton was appeared by his side 2518 02:08:21,560 --> 02:08:23,680 Speaker 1: many times, rubbing many of my listeners the wrong way 2519 02:08:23,720 --> 02:08:26,440 Speaker 1: over during the COVID period, Amy lockdown acting, you do 2520 02:08:26,520 --> 02:08:28,960 Speaker 1: have choices when it comes to the next governor. I 2521 02:08:28,960 --> 02:08:31,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to go down that road. So we've learned 2522 02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:33,560 Speaker 1: a lot from the Dwine administration, have we not? 2523 02:08:34,400 --> 02:08:38,320 Speaker 7: He created that monster? Brian, thank you for going to that. 2524 02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:40,720 Speaker 7: And by the way, maybe I shouldn't ask you a question. 2525 02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:43,080 Speaker 7: Do you put any stock in the poll that we 2526 02:08:43,160 --> 02:08:47,080 Speaker 7: saw yesterday that has Amy acted ten points onto bak Ramaswami? 2527 02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:49,800 Speaker 1: Okay, good now, although you know, really I'm glad you 2528 02:08:49,840 --> 02:08:53,520 Speaker 1: brought up Eva Ramaswami clearly obviously a segue for that. 2529 02:08:53,640 --> 02:08:58,080 Speaker 1: But I have met people I have had it explained 2530 02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:00,800 Speaker 1: to me that the opposition of vag Grama Sami springs 2531 02:09:01,120 --> 02:09:04,720 Speaker 1: almost purely not because he's a wildly successful businessman. Ory 2532 02:09:04,760 --> 02:09:10,200 Speaker 1: think because he's Hindu. Jack, Do we live in a theocracy? No, 2533 02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:12,680 Speaker 1: you don't live in a Can they promise me make 2534 02:09:12,760 --> 02:09:16,080 Speaker 1: me worship the Hindu religion or otherwise change religious affiliation? 2535 02:09:16,160 --> 02:09:17,800 Speaker 1: Does he have a power to even suggest that? 2536 02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:21,400 Speaker 7: No, he doesn't and I think that's why he's stayed 2537 02:09:21,440 --> 02:09:24,720 Speaker 7: in tight in the lane about the policy positions. But 2538 02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:26,760 Speaker 7: that will become an issue for people who want it 2539 02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:29,000 Speaker 7: to become an issue. But what will be interesting is 2540 02:09:29,080 --> 02:09:31,440 Speaker 7: to talk about Amy Act and what's her belief system, 2541 02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:33,680 Speaker 7: because we can talk about abortion all day long. I 2542 02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:36,560 Speaker 7: don't think she's a Christian. But now we're gonna punish. 2543 02:09:37,080 --> 02:09:38,640 Speaker 7: So we're gonna go down that road and I'm gonna 2544 02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:41,760 Speaker 7: get fired up. But I will say this, I think 2545 02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:43,720 Speaker 7: one of the things that Republicans are going to have 2546 02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:46,160 Speaker 7: to come to a reckoning on is I don't think 2547 02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:47,920 Speaker 7: it's just him being Hindu. I'm going to say this, 2548 02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:50,200 Speaker 7: and it's probably going to perturb some people. I think 2549 02:09:50,240 --> 02:09:52,240 Speaker 7: it's that he has brown skin in a funny last name. 2550 02:09:52,440 --> 02:09:54,920 Speaker 7: I think that's one of the things that some Republicans 2551 02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:57,280 Speaker 7: in certain circles still struggle with. And so we're going 2552 02:09:57,320 --> 02:10:00,440 Speaker 7: to see it is racist one hundred percent. And that 2553 02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:04,800 Speaker 7: is exactly what some of the feedback we get is that, oh, 2554 02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:06,600 Speaker 7: I don't want him to support these visas. I don't 2555 02:10:06,600 --> 02:10:08,480 Speaker 7: want him bringing people from India over. 2556 02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't want X, Y and Z. 2557 02:10:09,760 --> 02:10:12,440 Speaker 7: He's an Indian and I'm thinking, man, I thought the party, 2558 02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,560 Speaker 7: uh you know, had a better look about it than that. 2559 02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:17,200 Speaker 7: But that is still an issue for some Republicans unfortunately. 2560 02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:20,000 Speaker 1: Well, not to maybe mistake her nationality, but I do 2561 02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:22,960 Speaker 1: believe my cancer doctor who will be seeing today for 2562 02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:25,320 Speaker 1: my treatment is from India, and she's a hell of 2563 02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:26,000 Speaker 1: a great doctor. 2564 02:10:26,440 --> 02:10:30,320 Speaker 7: How about that, Listen, I don't get it, man. You know, 2565 02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:33,240 Speaker 7: my family came from England, and my mom and her 2566 02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:36,640 Speaker 7: family are Native American and and by the way, America 2567 02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:38,680 Speaker 7: is the great melting pot. The only problem that I 2568 02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:41,560 Speaker 7: think I have with immigration is that when it's not 2569 02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:43,960 Speaker 7: done lawfully, and they to jump each other in the line, 2570 02:10:44,160 --> 02:10:47,240 Speaker 7: and we're not strategic about it, and we allow criminals in. Otherwise, 2571 02:10:47,360 --> 02:10:50,640 Speaker 7: America is the great melting pot, and so we should 2572 02:10:50,720 --> 02:10:52,720 Speaker 7: welcome people like vivik Ramaswami to. 2573 02:10:52,760 --> 02:10:56,160 Speaker 1: Lead our state. And I agree, and I just go 2574 02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:59,360 Speaker 1: back to my immigrant history. The difference between then and now. 2575 02:10:59,840 --> 02:11:03,000 Speaker 1: You can be libertearing in a perception about open borders, 2576 02:11:03,040 --> 02:11:06,640 Speaker 1: but when open borders means automatic access and rights to 2577 02:11:06,880 --> 02:11:09,959 Speaker 1: the public safety net and all the social welfare programs, 2578 02:11:10,200 --> 02:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and you can't keep a hold on the numbers, you 2579 02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:15,920 Speaker 1: end up bleeding heart yourself into death right. I mean, 2580 02:11:16,120 --> 02:11:18,280 Speaker 1: that's what's going on right now. Look at our deficit. 2581 02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:22,440 Speaker 7: Well, not only are we seeing resources stretched thin I 2582 02:11:22,680 --> 02:11:25,360 Speaker 7: was boots on the ground covering it up close in Springfield, 2583 02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:28,400 Speaker 7: Ohio with the Haitian population. I know for a fact 2584 02:11:28,560 --> 02:11:31,920 Speaker 7: that exists. But let's just look as far back as yesterday, Brian, 2585 02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:35,240 Speaker 7: two tragic shootings here in the United States of America, 2586 02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:40,400 Speaker 7: both perpetrated by people who were somehow ideologically infiltrated by 2587 02:11:40,680 --> 02:11:44,320 Speaker 7: ISIS terrorists. That is a significant issue. When you have 2588 02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:46,800 Speaker 7: a welcome matt instead of a border wall for four 2589 02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:49,400 Speaker 7: years and you allow whatever the number is, ten million, 2590 02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:52,600 Speaker 7: fifteen million, twenty million people in, you start to see 2591 02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:55,640 Speaker 7: how tragic that can be. That's my biggest heartburned, Brian, 2592 02:11:55,760 --> 02:11:58,480 Speaker 7: is that there are people here who hate this country 2593 02:11:58,560 --> 02:12:00,240 Speaker 7: and they came in under the Biden of business creation. 2594 02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:03,040 Speaker 7: Not only are they stretching our resources, but they have 2595 02:12:03,160 --> 02:12:06,280 Speaker 7: the ability to make our communities extremely unsafe. 2596 02:12:06,400 --> 02:12:08,640 Speaker 1: They do. And that's one thing you say about legal immigration, 2597 02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:10,680 Speaker 1: maybe a challenge to get through the whole process, and 2598 02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:13,240 Speaker 1: some say it's too difficult. At least you have to 2599 02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:16,280 Speaker 1: take the time and the effort and learn and understand 2600 02:12:16,360 --> 02:12:19,200 Speaker 1: the founding principles of our country, which is a great 2601 02:12:19,320 --> 02:12:21,800 Speaker 1: opportunity for us to ensure that they are coming here 2602 02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:26,880 Speaker 1: to assimilate. They demonstrated a desire to assimilate by going 2603 02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:29,320 Speaker 1: through the legal process, and that ensures a more stable 2604 02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:32,160 Speaker 1: and well valuable workforce if they're willing to do the time, 2605 02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:35,560 Speaker 1: recognizing that they have to actually work for a living problem. 2606 02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:38,720 Speaker 1: Solve mor with Jack Winsortheohio Pressnetwork dot com. We're gonna 2607 02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:42,000 Speaker 1: ask me ask them about Marcel Sturbage and Roberts Bregg 2608 02:12:42,040 --> 02:12:43,760 Speaker 1: since Robert Sprague preceded you. 2609 02:12:43,840 --> 02:12:46,680 Speaker 2: On the morning show this KOC they talk station. 2610 02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:51,160 Speaker 5: Eight. 2611 02:12:53,440 --> 02:12:55,680 Speaker 1: Little Dead Kennedy's going there, thank you, Jostacker.

Did he have 2618 02:13:10,840 --> 02:13:13,320 Speaker 1: anything to say about energy policy? I mean you mentioned 2619 02:13:13,400 --> 02:13:16,760 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. We have a huge demand that's coming our way. 2620 02:13:16,840 --> 02:13:19,880 Speaker 1: I know again shout out to viv Ramaswami. Is all 2621 02:13:20,040 --> 02:13:23,080 Speaker 1: about maybe embracing these small modular reactors. I am a 2622 02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:24,879 Speaker 1: huge fan of them. It seems to be the salvation 2623 02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:29,600 Speaker 1: of the world. But here we are with the opportunity 2624 02:13:29,680 --> 02:13:32,040 Speaker 1: that exists in these various facilities. Whether you want one 2625 02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:34,600 Speaker 1: in your backyard or not, this is obviously the future. 2626 02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:37,080 Speaker 1: So either we get him or somebody else gets them. 2627 02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:41,400 Speaker 1: What about the energy, Yeah, I think sorry about that. 2628 02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:44,800 Speaker 1: He mentioned that Ohio is site ready. 2629 02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:47,600 Speaker 7: That is the primary focal point of what he talked 2630 02:13:47,600 --> 02:13:50,440 Speaker 7: about with respect to economic policy and advancement. Now I 2631 02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:52,480 Speaker 7: will have to tell you about the final ten minutes. 2632 02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:55,160 Speaker 7: I actually kind of tuned out. I listened, but I 2633 02:13:55,280 --> 02:13:55,880 Speaker 7: wasn't listening. 2634 02:13:56,240 --> 02:13:57,320 Speaker 1: Oh, I know that terrible. 2635 02:13:57,440 --> 02:14:01,200 Speaker 7: Probably there's a point beyond which his voice it just 2636 02:14:01,320 --> 02:14:02,560 Speaker 7: kind of goes in one here and out the other. 2637 02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:02,800 Speaker 5: For me. 2638 02:14:04,000 --> 02:14:06,400 Speaker 7: But no, I think the way that he positioned it 2639 02:14:06,560 --> 02:14:09,080 Speaker 7: is that Ohio is site ready. We've made significant changes 2640 02:14:09,160 --> 02:14:14,640 Speaker 7: with respect to our energy marketplace, with respect to permitting, 2641 02:14:15,640 --> 02:14:17,360 Speaker 7: and so the way that he teed it up, he 2642 02:14:17,400 --> 02:14:21,600 Speaker 7: talked about places like job Aviation, Anderill and how those 2643 02:14:21,640 --> 02:14:24,720 Speaker 7: companies are here because Ohio is site ready, and so 2644 02:14:24,760 --> 02:14:26,200 Speaker 7: I think he believes that we're kind of on the 2645 02:14:26,240 --> 02:14:27,400 Speaker 7: bleeding edge there, all. 2646 02:14:27,400 --> 02:14:29,440 Speaker 1: Right, fair enough, and he's it's out of his hands, 2647 02:14:29,480 --> 02:14:31,720 Speaker 1: I guess by now anyway, because this is year. This 2648 02:14:31,800 --> 02:14:34,440 Speaker 1: will be years in the making to get to that point, 2649 02:14:35,040 --> 02:14:36,800 Speaker 1: and we're at the front end of it. So at 2650 02:14:36,880 --> 02:14:39,360 Speaker 1: least if we're site ready, that's one step that's knocked 2651 02:14:39,400 --> 02:14:42,680 Speaker 1: down we can move forward with, hopefully under the under 2652 02:14:42,680 --> 02:14:46,840 Speaker 1: the control of Ramaswamy anyway, pivoting over, we have choices 2653 02:14:46,880 --> 02:14:48,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to Secretary of State. I had Treasure 2654 02:14:48,640 --> 02:14:51,600 Speaker 1: Robert Sprague on earlier, and you know, honestly, I really 2655 02:14:51,880 --> 02:14:54,320 Speaker 1: really like Marcel Sturbage I've had I've talked to him 2656 02:14:54,360 --> 02:14:58,120 Speaker 1: a couple of times. His energy, his enthusiasm, his command 2657 02:14:58,200 --> 02:15:01,920 Speaker 1: of the issues and what I mean. He is a strong, 2658 02:15:02,160 --> 02:15:05,680 Speaker 1: strong candidate and he's got some great ideas. I kind 2659 02:15:05,720 --> 02:15:07,600 Speaker 1: of flip a coin. If we get Sprague, if we 2660 02:15:07,680 --> 02:15:11,000 Speaker 1: get Marcel Sturbage. I think neither one of them is 2661 02:15:11,040 --> 02:15:14,240 Speaker 1: advancing any policies that I completely disagree with. But I 2662 02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:17,440 Speaker 1: did ask mister Spraggue about the endorsement from the party 2663 02:15:17,480 --> 02:15:19,720 Speaker 1: ahead of the primary and if he thought that was 2664 02:15:19,720 --> 02:15:21,680 Speaker 1: an appropriate thing to do. Of course, he said, well, listen, 2665 02:15:21,720 --> 02:15:25,320 Speaker 1: the voters ultimately get the choice anyway. He's representative democracy 2666 02:15:25,360 --> 02:15:28,120 Speaker 1: we live in. I appreciate the endorsement from the Republican Party. 2667 02:15:28,200 --> 02:15:29,640 Speaker 1: It is what it is. They do what they do, 2668 02:15:29,880 --> 02:15:33,120 Speaker 1: So I understand his point on that. But going back 2669 02:15:33,160 --> 02:15:34,720 Speaker 1: to the issues, and I know you're a fan of 2670 02:15:34,760 --> 02:15:36,880 Speaker 1: Sturbridge as well. What's your take on all of this 2671 02:15:37,120 --> 02:15:39,120 Speaker 1: as we and he didn't he kind of well offuled 2672 02:15:39,120 --> 02:15:40,040 Speaker 1: a little bit about a debate. 2673 02:15:40,720 --> 02:15:45,080 Speaker 7: Yes he did. I've seen the rejection email where he 2674 02:15:45,200 --> 02:15:46,880 Speaker 7: states that they're not going to debate it this time. 2675 02:15:46,960 --> 02:15:49,080 Speaker 7: So when he says that we will see if we 2676 02:15:49,160 --> 02:15:51,360 Speaker 7: can find a time in some kind of platform, he did, 2677 02:15:51,480 --> 02:15:53,920 Speaker 7: that's breaking news. So let's follow up on that and 2678 02:15:54,040 --> 02:15:56,400 Speaker 7: let's keep his feet to the fire on it. And 2679 02:15:56,480 --> 02:15:59,360 Speaker 7: then he points out that Trump didn't enter the debate stage. 2680 02:15:59,600 --> 02:16:01,600 Speaker 7: By the way, I want to say this very firmly, 2681 02:16:01,680 --> 02:16:04,560 Speaker 7: I really like Robert Sprague. I would he probably wouldn't 2682 02:16:04,600 --> 02:16:06,400 Speaker 7: have a bourbon. I would have a bourbon. He'd probably 2683 02:16:06,440 --> 02:16:07,760 Speaker 7: have a coffee, but I'd sit down and have a 2684 02:16:07,840 --> 02:16:10,240 Speaker 7: drink with the guy. And by the way, no, I 2685 02:16:10,280 --> 02:16:12,560 Speaker 7: don't over consume bourbon, just trying to be funny, Okay, 2686 02:16:12,800 --> 02:16:15,200 Speaker 7: But he's no Trump. He's no Donald Trump. And I 2687 02:16:15,240 --> 02:16:17,960 Speaker 7: think trying to compare himself to Donald Trump is quite 2688 02:16:17,960 --> 02:16:20,280 Speaker 7: a bold move on his part. And the reason I 2689 02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:22,280 Speaker 7: say that is if you go back and you listen 2690 02:16:22,320 --> 02:16:24,480 Speaker 7: to Donald Trump in the eighties and nineties, he was 2691 02:16:24,520 --> 02:16:27,200 Speaker 7: saying the same things then as he is today about China, 2692 02:16:27,280 --> 02:16:29,680 Speaker 7: about America's position in the world. And then you look 2693 02:16:29,680 --> 02:16:32,120 Speaker 7: at Robert Sprague and you go, Okay, Robert Sprague, if 2694 02:16:32,200 --> 02:16:35,160 Speaker 7: you are so passionate about these election law and election 2695 02:16:35,280 --> 02:16:39,320 Speaker 7: integrity changes, why didn't you pass or propose election integrity 2696 02:16:39,440 --> 02:16:41,879 Speaker 7: legislation when you were in the legislature for eight years? 2697 02:16:41,920 --> 02:16:44,160 Speaker 7: Because I'm not seeing it. If somebody else is seeing it, 2698 02:16:44,200 --> 02:16:46,960 Speaker 7: I would love to report on it. And here's my 2699 02:16:47,040 --> 02:16:49,720 Speaker 7: big issue. Again. I like Robert Sprague, but if he 2700 02:16:49,879 --> 02:16:52,480 Speaker 7: refuses to debate and just wants to defer to President 2701 02:16:52,520 --> 02:16:55,760 Speaker 7: Trump on that, again, he's comparing the East to the West. 2702 02:16:56,080 --> 02:16:59,360 Speaker 7: He is not Donald Trump. But if he wants to 2703 02:16:59,600 --> 02:17:01,800 Speaker 7: take on on some of the significant changes in Ohio 2704 02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:04,480 Speaker 7: making sure only citizens get on the voter rolls, ensuring 2705 02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:08,080 Speaker 7: that mismatched voterforms go to provisional status until proven authentic, 2706 02:17:08,440 --> 02:17:11,879 Speaker 7: outlawing third party groups that register people. Now we'll talk 2707 02:17:11,920 --> 02:17:13,760 Speaker 7: about that maybe a later time, because he's kind of 2708 02:17:13,800 --> 02:17:17,520 Speaker 7: bastardized that idea and requiring photo ID for all voting 2709 02:17:17,600 --> 02:17:21,200 Speaker 7: that means getting mail in ballots and then eliminating drought boxes. 2710 02:17:21,200 --> 02:17:22,520 Speaker 7: If he wants to do all those, I'm going to 2711 02:17:22,560 --> 02:17:24,879 Speaker 7: tell you he's not only going to get pressure from 2712 02:17:24,959 --> 02:17:27,960 Speaker 7: Democrats in lawsuits, He's going to get Republicans who go, 2713 02:17:28,080 --> 02:17:30,480 Speaker 7: oh goy, you know, gotch how it really hard. If 2714 02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:33,160 Speaker 7: you can't debate your opponent who's a Republican, how the 2715 02:17:33,240 --> 02:17:35,040 Speaker 7: hell are you going to stand in the breach and 2716 02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:36,240 Speaker 7: do those hard things? 2717 02:17:36,440 --> 02:17:38,120 Speaker 1: Well, and he did sort of kind of bring that 2718 02:17:38,240 --> 02:17:40,240 Speaker 1: up in the context of these election reforms, that the 2719 02:17:40,480 --> 02:17:43,279 Speaker 1: counties will bear the way to response vote for implementation, 2720 02:17:43,400 --> 02:17:46,600 Speaker 1: and they're always complaining, like Republicans would be complaining against 2721 02:17:46,640 --> 02:17:48,879 Speaker 1: these reforms, we don't have the money or the ability 2722 02:17:48,920 --> 02:17:51,400 Speaker 1: to do that. I would like to think that somewhere 2723 02:17:51,520 --> 02:17:53,520 Speaker 1: in the vast resources of the Ohile budget they can 2724 02:17:53,560 --> 02:17:56,119 Speaker 1: come up with enough money to deal with election integrity 2725 02:17:56,200 --> 02:17:58,560 Speaker 1: the foundation of our entire system of government. 2726 02:17:59,760 --> 02:18:04,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Actually do an audit on the Somali 2727 02:18:04,320 --> 02:18:07,560 Speaker 7: daycare issue. Pay attention to the reporting that we're going 2728 02:18:07,640 --> 02:18:09,320 Speaker 7: to have come out in the next week or so 2729 02:18:09,720 --> 02:18:12,040 Speaker 7: that deals with the billions of dollars in fraud in 2730 02:18:12,120 --> 02:18:16,640 Speaker 7: Ohio's medicaid system. So look, the money is there, Brian. 2731 02:18:16,720 --> 02:18:17,080 Speaker 4: You know this. 2732 02:18:17,600 --> 02:18:19,360 Speaker 7: I come from the business world, and we used to say, 2733 02:18:19,360 --> 02:18:20,800 Speaker 7: if you want to get something done, give it to 2734 02:18:20,879 --> 02:18:23,680 Speaker 7: a busy person, because a busy person knows how to prioritize. 2735 02:18:23,720 --> 02:18:25,440 Speaker 7: It's no different in politics. If you want to get 2736 02:18:25,440 --> 02:18:27,880 Speaker 7: something done, make it a priority. That's an excuse. 2737 02:18:28,040 --> 02:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Well stated Jack windsorhiwpressnetwork dot coms where you find them. 2738 02:18:31,320 --> 02:18:33,720 Speaker 1: Check it out bookmarket and tune in next Friday.
