55KRC Friday Show - Jack Atherton, Tech Friday, Adam Koehler, Dave Taylor

stupid things government does. But we got a it's It's It's It's mark to today, Mark two of the Big Picture with Jack. Evan and Jack reached out to Joey R. Say, he said he's got more thoughts on Gaza. And it was a really awesome Wall Street Journal op ed on that, and you know, the sort of mirroring what I've been saying about Donald Trump talking about Gaza. Uh And you can read it for yourself. I don't have to to read the article. It's about those beautiful beachfront Gaza condos.

Critics derived Trump's ideas, But what are they offering the Palestinians. The point being, no one seems to give a whit about the people in the Palestinians that live there under the oppressive, oppressive, you know, terrorist Thomas rule. No one's offering any solutions. All the countries around, these very wealthy, oil rich countries just seem to turn a blind eye to the conflict. Hosts thrives, lives, thrives and survives in this war torn area which really just looks like a

nuclear a post nuclear holocaust wasteland. And so I said, you know, I don't think Trump has any aspirations or designs to send the US military to take over Gozen, maybe make it the fifty first state. But he comes out with these wild proposals and ideas I think just to get the conversation started, and that's really where what

I think he's just trying to do. You get people to pay attention to the problem by you know, saying something like, yeah, we're going to go in a takeo for guts and make it into a you know, a luxury beachfront paradise. Anyway, Jack's take on that coming up at six oh five, and of course of being Friday Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and congratulations, I mean he

posted something on Facebook. I say, I can't believe he's been doing this on this show for eleven years, and I just you know, it's one of my favorite segments every single week because we learn so much and he alerts us to all kinds of things that you and I can do to protect ourselves from the evil forces out there that just get worse and worse every single day. And today we'll be talking about Chinese hackers can access and record your phone calls, speaking of evil and nefarious

actors out in the world. Gmail a hack, apparently you've been impacted, affected two point five billion with the b users. And finally, artificial intelligence will supercharge cyber weapons. Oh joy of joy. I know, they're usually grim topics, but this is truly the reality of the world we live in. He's not making any of this stuff up. He's not wearing a tinfoil high although he likes to make fun

of himself for wearing a tinfoil hat. Adam Taylor returns in studio to talk about well you becoming a citizen journalist? What is the Cincinnati Exchange and how you can get involved? Write it out ed start a podcast called Joe Strecker for your podcast. Joe does produce podcasts on the side. Little extra revenue for Joe. How many jobs you got now, Joe six seventeen. He's got to supplement his paltry salary. You say, Todzzinser's got a new podcast out now, just

started with you. Well he went to the right guy. Joe does a wonderful job producing podcasts. So you can reach Joe, you know how to do that. And we'll also get Adam's thoughts on the railway money. We know jam Michelle lemon Kearny, vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati's already has designs on the railway money, which is inconsistent what the promises were made when they sold the railroad, which is they'd only use it on existing infrastructure. But

as I pointed out the other day, it's fungible. Money is fungible. You got two piles of money, the general Fund, and you got the money the railway money that's generated at from the revenue that's invested. And so since you got two piles of money, you do new projects with the general fund and you tap into the railroad money fund to do what you're supposed to be doing with the general fund, which is maintaining roads, bridges, and infrastructure.

It's a total payton switch. But you know, it's so obvious, and this is something that we talked about before the railroad was sold. I mean I made this point on the radio. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that, Yeah, that was a dumb idea selling that railroad. Anyway. We'll also talk about bitcoin and the Bengals with Adam Keaylor in studio. Looking forward to having Adam back. He's a really good guy. Congressman David Taylor

placed Brad Weinstrip. We'll find out what committees he's been appointed to in the legislative proposals that he's got that'll be an eight h five, So again a wonderful lineup. You know I always love hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two to three Talk Ti Fi fifty on AT and T phones or remember fifty five caresee dot com for the podcast Jay Ratliffe. We had Mark Metclerk yesterday. He's the President of the

Convention of States. Makes a great argument for the Convention of States and it's growing in popularity. The idea of well amending the Constitution to force, for example, them to work within the revenue they've got coming in a balanced budget proposal. That'd be awesome. And I just I just go back to this whole Doge things and that Democrats are pulling their hair out, screaming and yelling about Doge. Doge. Oh my god, Hey, you know what Doge is doing.

They're merely identifying fraud, waste and abuse. Those aren't have any authority to shut anything down, but thanks to them, it's being brought to our general attention people who otherwise aren't looking at the minutia of government where all this money goes. You start talking about, well, gay operas in Ireland or whatever, and everybody at every political stripe goes, wait,

what we pay for what? Yeah? And the list is endless, on and on and on, stupid, stupid things trying to influence the hearts and minds of countries with these messaging DEI and LGBTQ and all these different programs shoving it down other countries throats when they might not cot into the idea. Aren't they entitled to chart their own destiny? And I know we've been influencing other countries for years. The CIA used to be responsible for that, and I know it's still doing it, but now you've got this

entire department which is doing the same thing. This USAID crap. Anyway, I'm glad they're out there. I'm glad DOGE is out there bringing it to our attention. And again, Elon Musk does not have any authority to do anything other than ferret it out and let you and I know about it,

and of course let members of Congress know about it. God, Democrats are losing their minds and I don't know why, I mean, wonder why they react so negatively toward US, seeing thanks to Musk and the work that they're doing in Doge seeing the fraud, waste and abuse in government, and does that bear a political stripe? In efficiency, fraud, waste and abuse. Shouldn't that be something we can all rally behind. Lord knows we could use some cutting in government.

We're just so dangerously in debt. And I always like to point out for those who think that the government is not too big and needs to be bigger and bigger, you are most at risk of having your programs because we are so far in the hole. We're never going to be able to climb back out of it. If we can't pay the interest on our debt. You know, the fiat currency that we rely on and the global currency, that default currency is going to disappear. And when it disappears,

so does your favorite pet program. Think about Medicare and Medicaid and social Security. If you really want to put some some fear behind the reality of the overspending, the fraud, waste and abuse and government, those are programs that will must be paired back. Look at the Congressional Budget Office, you know, to take my word for it. It's reality. They've been screaming about it for years. Look, this is just you know, we're paying out more than we're bringing

in where it's like it's like eating into principle. Going back to the railroad thing. You know, if there isn't revenue generated from the investment, you're going to start diving into the investment money that the principle, and then the money alter disappeared into no source of revenue anymore. Ah See, I seem to be a little more awake this morning than I was yesterday anyhow. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk

found five fifty on AT and T phone. Something wanted to get into. I'm reminded of the underpants numbs from a South Park Phase one steel underpants, Phase three profit overlooking Phase two headline ev fiasco. Ford lost five point one billion dollars on electric vehicles last year alone, five point fifteen Right now, fifty five K Steve Talk Station. I'll be back after these brief words.

This is kind of funny. We're going to be at March First Brewery on East Kemper, which you're familiar with Kids First, which is the sporting place where children learn athletics and taekwondo and things like that. I spent a lot of hours there when the kids were younger, and at first when March First opened its doors, I was scratching my head over the concept, why is there a micro brewery right here? Because it looks as a micro brewer,

you know where the location is. It seems a little bit out of place, and it's just right down the street from Silver Spring House. But that was my initial reaction. I'm like, oh my god, that's brilliant. It's right across the street from Kids First. So you're dropping your kids off, or you're gonna sit there at Kids First for a couple of hours while your daughter is doing tumblebees or

taekwondo or something like that, or taking swim lessons. You got nothing new but twiddle your thumb or read a book. You can walk out the front door right across the street and go enjoy a beer at March First Brewery. Congratulations to Darren who is the owner of March First Brewery. It's their eighth anniversary. And so we will be at March First on March fifth, which is the first Wednesday

of next month for the listener line. So March fifth at March First, go ahead, continuing the micro brew tour. We are sort of we've set off on a course to do that this year, So market on your calendar, it'll be March fifth, at March first. Quite a few people confused by that at listener lines. Anyway, Congratulations Ford Motor Company. I'm losing five point one billion dollars on its electric vehicle and software business last year. Keep it

up Phase three profit. Ford Motor Company announced it's fourth quarter in full year earning for twenty twenty four, which actually surpassed Wall Street expectations. That's because they're still selling internal combustion engines. They sustained massive losses in the electric vehicle and software division, known as Model E five point one billion dollar loss in that segment, which is a significant increase from the four point seven billion dollars that

lost in the prior year. Ford also predicts losses will continue to mount, potentially reaching five point five billion this year. How's that for a business model? And you know what, if you bought a Ford traditional gas powered vehicle that division and Ford is actually performing quite well, generating sufficient revenue to keep the prompt company profitable overall. So that truck you bought or that internal combustion engine you bought from Ford, and you know I'm a Mustang fan. I

used to own a Mustang Cobra. Loved that car, boy, I had fun with that thing. So nothing against Ford's internal combustion engine, but you're paying more for that car because you need to support the billions of dollars and losses in the electric vehicle category. Can you imagine if they weren't forced to make electric vehicles how much profit they'd have and how much less your internal combustion engine might cost if they didn't have to prop up the

EV wing. There you have it. They Ford caution that its earnings may drop by two billion dollars or more of this year due to costs associated with new vehicle launches. Compared to its rivals in the EV market, Fords appears to be lagging behind, currently offering only three battery electric vehicles. So they got three vehicles for sale that are evs and it costs the five point one billion dollars in one calendar year. How do you make sense out of that?

And pivoting over New Yorkers. And you can have sympathy for him or not, but their their energy bills are outrages because they, like California, are seeking to become a zero emission state con Addison, which serves in New York City and the suburbs, proposing rate hikes that would increase electric bills ready by eleven point four percent on average, thirteen point three percent for gas service. I don't know what your utility bill is, but mine doesn't come even

close to the New York average. Utility bills will average about five hundred dollars per month average, which is one hundred and fifty four dollars more than five years ago. I don't think I've ever seen a bill be above three hundred dollars for the Thomas House, even the worst possible climate times. We do have a very energy efficient home, I'm proud to say, though, But you know what, the thermostats at seventy two degrees all year long. I'd never

touch it, don't have to. Democrats were hoping for a one hundred and seventy five mile transmission line to power to New York City with a giant wind in the soil roller farms in upstate New York. What happened, Well, that

project got thrown out the window because of costs rising. Apparently, another transmission line to deliver hydro power from Quebec under construction, but it's going to cost six billion, with a E six billion dollars they say, four times as much as Connetison proposed electricity rate increased this year Journal reporting on this, New Yorkers can expect rates to continue climbing to pay for these green energy product projects in the interim or

in the meantime. New York Independent Systems Operator November warning of potential power shortages next year. If that Quebec transmission line isn't online by May, don't hold your breath that it will be. And thank you Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York who mandated the what is described by the journal as the premature shutdown of the Indian Point nuclear pant which generated about a quarter of New York City's power. You also put in place a ban on shale fracking.

You also vetoed gas pipelines, all of which sent New York Cities utility bills through the roof. How's that working out for you? New York's giant climate tax five twenty six, maybe making all the lives more miserable and taking what your disposable income. And I think that's one of the farious elements about all of this. Yeah, the more money you got to throw at a power bill, the less money you can output into the economy. It's economically destructive, which may be the point of all of this when

you ponder it. Five twenty six Stick Around Local Stories coming up. I'll take your phone calls if you prefer I do it, but one way or another we'll get through. I look forward to talking with Jack Addan coming up at six oh five Stick around.

Right now, if you have ksee the talk station five thirty Happy Friday, Tech Friday coming up at one hour Kay five one three some nine fifty five y thre three pund five fifteen eighty teen te phones. Get that all right, Governor Mike Dwine propose budget the wine apparently he's come up with the way for paying for new sports stadiums. Question, why would the Ohio taxpayers are literally anybody whose tax

want to pay for new sports stadiums. That's a pet peeve of mine. I just don't get it. And he plans on doing it without using state taxpayer dollars. No, he's going to rely on sports Bettingdwine planning on doubling the rate that those operating Ohio's sports books pay on their profits after winnings are paid. According to Dwine and his statement, quote, look, Ohio citizens are giving every single

day millions of dollars to sports gaming companies. It's time for us to raise the tax on them so that we can do things to help ohioans. Joe is building new sports stadiums, help Ohioans, just asking for a friend. Are there other needs that Ohioans have beyond sports? Just a couple you said, these are the companies that are taking all of this money outside, draining it outside of the state of Ohio on gaming. They got to pay

their fair share. A Republican actually said that they ought to pay their fair share, and this would make them pay their fair share. Budget proposed doubling the tax rate, currently at twenty percent to forty percent and then creating what he called a initial cap Sports Facilities, Construction and Sports Education Fund. He said, so that will no longer be necessary to use general fund tax dollars for this purpose.

Why was it ever necessary for general fund tax dollars to be used for building sports stadiums for teams that are owned by private individuals that make literally millions and millions of dollars off of the sports, he said, What can that money be used for? The fund once an actor can be used to help fund professional sports facilities in both major and minor leagues. Also, the proposal allows

the fund to support youth sports education. Maybe we should just focus on youth education along the lines of traditional things like reading and writing and arithmetics. Since the test scores nationwide have tanked and our children are ignorant, That

would be stupid, says Joe. You said. It can be used, for example, to help opposeet the cost of sports and school activity fees and prevent many of how children from playing youth sports and participating in other school based extracurricular activities. And it's an interesting figure. We spent a lot of money on sportsbook book Apparently it was originally a ten percent tax, and four years later they bumped itto twenty after more than a billion dollars was wagered in the

first month of operation in twenty twenty three. Priorities, thank you too, John Kosache, News five Cleveland for reporting on this one. Got to give credit where credits due. Only twenty four the tax ended one hundred and eighty million dollars in tax revenue. Seven hundred and twenty three million dollars went to the sports books. Most of them happen to be located outside of the state. Not the only industries that are located out of the state that are

still operating in our state. You're picking on one industry over another. Let us see here we are at the New York and New Hampshire Rhde Island apparently have the highest taxes on sports betting fifty one percent, Pennsylvania, thirty six, Vermont and thirty one point seven. And then of course that means a Mike to Wine can say that, well, we'll still not be the highest, not the lowest, but

not the highest. He said in talking with some people in the industry, there's a lot of concern that this would mean a pullback and eventually advertising and marketing expenses. This could be less This could also be less promotion. It could be changing the betting lines. Right now, sportsbooks charge what's called the viig, a little bit extra for the line. Maybe that could change. We've seen that proposed in other high tax states, some of those leading sports books.

Well wait a second. You know, I've never been against gambling. I don't gamble personally because I think it's a foolish exercise. I mean, you're usually gonna lose. That's how they build those grand and glorious casinos. That's with your losing. So if they pull back on advertising, maybe fewer people would be addicted to gambling. Just the thought, I know that makes me argue in favor of the tax, which I'm not necessarily in favor of, given the where the money's

gonna go. Anyway, talk amongst yourselves. Interesting conversation. Five thirty five stack is stupid coming up? Looking forward to that beah be right back after these words.

import tariffs. The sledgehammer, the color of the sledgehammer, and the country of origin is not identified in the article. However, Jason Sheen Hupp, thirty three years old, reportedly walking outside the Hampton Inn naked with the sledgehammer. According to the recitation, police received a call about ten thirty pm on Sunday about a man who was running around outside a hotel

with the sledgehammer. Police arrived. They made contact with Hupp, who was screaming unintelligible words as a tradition well talking with a police notice. Appeared to be under the influence and had glossy eyes. Yep. When I asked how much he had to drink, Hupp replied, quote a lot close quote Well, at least he didn't make the use of the three I had three beers, two Miller lines. Police were able to get up into custody without any incident injuries.

After being arrested, police officers watched a video of the incident in which Hub was completely naked from the waist down in an area with multiple patrons, where multiple patrons frequent well. On the way to the jail, police said

he asked for another beer. Rested in charge with first defense first degree in decent exposure, and first or second offense alcohol intoxication first degree indecent exposure called a classic B misdemeanor resulting in a maximum ninety days in jail and to find of up to two hundred and fifty dollars if convicted. At least as of the reporting, he was being held in the hardened Kinty Detention Center without bond.

YEP Florida middle school teacher who was arrested for child pornography claimed he was looking to see if he recognized the victims. Authority's first lord of the Internet user uploading child section thanks Liam uploading child sexual abuse materials to find similar images on August first, twenty three. Actually, investigators then subpoenaed a Internet service provider and identified the suspect as sixty nine year old Mark Pentea happened again in

November and December of twenty four. Law enforcement obtained the search warrant confirmed he in January twenty five, then arrested after police seized his laptop and found ten images of children as young as two years old being abused. He spent amen brother, he spent nearly thirty years as a teacher of the Palm Beach County School District. Initially denied searching for the images, claiming he might have unknowingly clicked

the site. Then he later admitted he was curious about it before telling investigators quote he looked at the material to see if he recognized the people in the image and to know if they were in his community. Went on to say, I know. He went on to say, I am interested in the problem of child pornography, that is for sure. I am interested in all children's problems.

people who are running around naked. Over to more twisted reporting in the stack of stupid. A former San Diego County Teacher of the Year has pleaded guilty to sex crimes involving a minor. Jacqueline Ma, she's thirty five, was a fifth and sixth grade teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary School.

She joined there in twenty thirteen. In March twenty twenty three, seven months after she was one of five recipients of the Teacher of the Year award, the San Diego Union Tribune reported a twelve year old student's parents had contacted law enforcement to report an inappropriate relationship between their twelve year old son and teacher Ma. Investigation revealed she had been sending and receiving sexual images and engaged in sexual acts with this preteen, as well as an eleven year

old boy. In court, Ma admitted the boys had committed the acts under duress for her pleasure. Detective also read messages exchanged between Ma and the twelve year old boy. Quotes sometimes I think you don't understand that I am a kid still and this is my only will relationship

close quote. Superior Court judge stated the evidence was overwhelmingly clear that the defendant took advantage of two children, adding that she used her power to course the twelve year old victim into behavior that was he wasn't ready for, for a relationship that was beyond inappropriate and beyond wrong. Pleaded guilty to two counts elude acts with a child under the age of fourteen, one of possessing material containing miners,

engaging in or simulating sexual conduct. Expected to be sentenced between ready thirty years to life in prison at her May ninth hearing.

bisexual contact. The sentences will run concurrently. July fourth, twenty eighteen, officers she spotted to a nine to one one call where a mom reported that she had walked into her daughter's room to find her naked with Benavidez in the bed with her for their guest. Investigation led to detectives to discover that the sexual abuse had allegedly occurred for more than a year before he was found in the

victim's room. Bexer kind of District Attorney in a statement, children with our communities must be protected in our offices here to make sure that those who pray on children are held accountable. Today, we hope that the community and the victim feels safer and knowing the defendant is going to prison. Oh you know it, fifty years worth of it. Joe fifty fifty. Also sharing an the award, Wile Condoman charged with public in decency after allegedly engaging in elude

behavior while naked on his porch. This accorded to Waconda Police Department. Please say they showed up at the four nat block of Barrington Road four pm January twenty eighth for a well being check for a man later identified as Horatio Olio forty four. After the incident was reported by two young people. He appeared disoriented and confused when they made content. When the officers showed up at his residence, please said there was evidence of cocaine use on his

person and inside the residence. Taken a nearby hospital for medical evaluation, got a search warrant and investigation. They seize US currency and cocaine. Rest warrant issued. He was charged with two counts of publican decency, two counts of disorderly conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a controlled substance,

also sharing any award. Lincoln County Sheriff's Office in Wisconsin said a forty six year old man was arrested Saturday night after he was found walking around the town of Merrill naked. Happened in the area of the Rock Island Resort. Deputies were called because the man was seen naked. When they arrived in the scene, they found him naked and of course drunk. They tried to arrest him, but he resisted amen brother. After a scuffle, they were able to put the man in handcuffs and taken to a nearby

hospital to be checked out. He was cleared brought to the jail, now facing several charges including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and lute and lascivious behavior. And finally, those are the award winners.

again Mashad. Video shared by Irontian journalist messiev Alinjodd showed the woman calm on the police car windshield, where she sat and spread her legs. Mail officers seemingly holding an automatic weapon, appeared hesitant to touch the woman and detained her as she was naked. Woman seen yelling and angrily thrusting her arms in the air as the video clip ended. Man claiming to be the woman's husband reportedly said that

she has now been taken into care. Local media said several posts on social media claims she was protesting against heron's strict clothing rules for women. Nottally, Iranian legislature passed the strict new law Chastity and Hijab Bill that's what it's called, proposed to proposing harsher punishments for women and girls exposing their hair, arms and legs. Oh heaven forbid.

Bill also said anyone found naked, semi naked, or wearing clothing deemed to be improper in public by some random dude ims I imagine, can be arrested without question, with a punishment of up to fifteen years in prison. That bill put on hold after sparking international outrage from activist groups and human rights organizations, who accused Ron of quotes seeking to entrench the already suffocating system of repression.

the gay and lesbian folks. No no word from Alexandri or Kasio Cortez, Joe calling him a five fifty six fifty five kr City Talk Station Chapter two of this week's Big Picture with Jack add and right at the top of the news, followed by of course, Tech Friday with Dave Hatter at six thirty. I sure hope you can stick around.

my dear friend, Jack Addington. It was wonderful seeing you and your beautiful wife at listener lunch on Wednesday.

at March first. So we'll get that out of the way anyway, Jack, go ahead.

countries' money and personnel. Still, there are Trump supporters, volunteers and donors like me who keep asking questions not just about whether Egypt and Jordan would accept two million refugees, and not just about the legal basis for America asserting ownership of Gaza, but even more basic questions Brian, like why has America in recent decades focused on occupying political

minefields instead of just containing them. The old containment policy goes back to the Cold War, after Hitler invaded Russia. The USSR joined the Allies to Berlin before we did, but their communist dictator Stalin did not stop there. The Soviets drew what Churchill called an iron curtain all across the Eastern Europe. When Stalin next tried toppling Greece, Harry

Truman said enough. He stood up to Stalin, not by invading the USSR, but through containment, the projection of strength, including mutually assured nuclear destruction and later Reagan's Strategic Defense initiative, also economic dominance and humanitarian aide like the Berlin Airlift, and sharing the truth to combat Soviet lies through broadcasts to the Eastern Bloc by the Voice of America. You can still visit the VOA Museum in Westchester.

in Iraq. Neither country today supports democracy, much less America. There was an alternative Brian containment. When the Taliban alaud Osama bin Laden to set up Al Keeda terror bases in Afghanistan, where he plotted the nine to eleven two thousand and one attack that killed almost three thousand Americans. We did not have to invade and occupy the country. Afghanistan had bled the British dry and then the Soviets

for more than one hundred years that went on. As President Trump was say, we could have obliterated al Qaeda camps with long range bombers and threatened that all hell would break loose if any terror group returned. The same thing could have happened in Iraq after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait back in nineteen ninety one. George H. W. Bush and his international coalition twenty one nations, I think should have turned Saddam over to the International Court in the Hague,

as we did with Serbia's Slobodon Melosovich, and he stayed there. Instead, Borsh Senior let Saddam retain power and wage genocide against his own Kurdish population. Bush's son w then tried atoning for his father's mistake and wound up occupy in Iraq. A tar baby, if ever there was one. Today, instead of attempting to occupy Gaza, we should be supporting Israel's campaign again as Tamas, not with US troops or even contractors,

but with military aid. Yes, eighty percent of the Palestinians in Gaza supposedly support Hamas, but they have a gun to their head. Give Israel a free hand, as the Biden administration refused to do. Israel's exploding payg your gambit, you remember that it's going to be remembered. History will remember it for killing terror leaders and not civilians. Let Israel free as many hostages as they can. Use better intelligence than they have to prevent the digging of any

new tunnels. Israel's intelligence failures still have to be investigated by them, and then use economic and other peaceful means to contain Gaza. If Palestinians can find homes elsewhere, great, but don't try to relocate the whole population against its will. Even justice shakings up containment may not give us any seaside hotels, but America won't find itself in another bloody quagmire.

But when the Muslim Brotherhood took over, they were so radical that the Egyptian people threw them out and they brought back I'll see who is still there and remains a US ally at peace with Israel. So do you really want to screw that up?

to be involved with terrorists. You get control over an area that's filled with a mos terrorist, that that becomes your problem and you run the risk of a most terrorist coming into your country. And I certainly understand the reluctance in that regard, but the concept of rebuilding gazen making it a welcoming, you know, habitable environment, it seems to me that the various very wealthy Arab countries around

it should welcome that. And like you mention with aid that we gave to Germany after we got done conquering it, like we rehelp rebuild Japan after they were conquered and

they became very successful countries in their own right. You know, if various nations surrounding Gaza and have to deal with the spillover and the ongoing wars, whether it's Israel dealing with it or the Hamas terrorists engaging in terrorist activities, they should embrace the concept of making it a better place to live, and the Palestinians under a more stable, less terroristic administration might enjoy actually living there and not have any desire to leave.

ought to keep thinking about. But these were not off the cuff remarks. He says he's been thinking about them for a long time, and Jared Kushner has proposed something like this a year ago. So I think we have to give it a little bit more thought.

did God love you? I have a wonderful weekend. And of course thanks again for showing up at lunch. It was just a great thing seeing you and your beautiful wife. And you know you're always welcome there. And my listeners love seeing you and talking to you, and I share your assessment of my listening audience. They are brilliant folks. And great conversationalists. All right, happy super Bowl everybody, yep, take care of Jack. We'll talk next Wednesday, six seventeen.

If I have careous to the detoxation tech Frida with a day of Hatter coming up the bottom of the hour, I hope you can stick around for that. Lots of talk about with him. Frightening stuff it is.

maybe worth diving on into it. And I've got a few minutes here I can do that President's Trump's idea they write that the US might remove and relocate some two million Palestinians from Gaza and then own and rebuild the strip isn't going to happen soon, if ever. But the idea, however preposterous, does have the virtue of forcing the world to confront its hypocrisy over the fate of the Palestinian people. The reaction to Trump's flyer was predictably hyperbolic.

Some called it ethnic cleansing, as if the US military would round up two million Gozins against their will. Others criticized Trump for US imperialism, contrary to his campaign theme of deriding foreign interventions. For those reasons and more, his Gaza daydream is fanciful, but note the mister Trump expressed

admirable sympathy for the Palestinians in their plight. The Gaza strip has been a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades, and so bad that the people anywhere near it, he said Tuesday at a press conference with Israeli Permanent and Premier mister Benjamin Not in Yahoo. Who

could disagree with that? He went on to say, we should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts, and there are many of them that want to do this and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied by the one point eight million Palestinians living in Gaza, ending the death and destruction and frankly bad luck. Quote. This could be paid for by neighboring countries of great wealth. It could be one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight twelve.

It could be numerous sites, or it could be one large site. But the people will be able to live in comfort and peace, and will get will make sure something really spectacular is done. It's easy to dismiss this as fantasy of presidential huckster who imagine Trump condos and Gaza gold coasts. But his idea is so much worse than the But is his idea so much worse than the status quo that the rest of the world is offering.

The famous two state solution with the Palestinian state next to Israel won't have But as long as Hamas still runs Gaza and could run the West Bank, the Arab states aren't clamoring to send in peacekeeping forces to eradicate Hamas or govern the strip. The best the world can come up with is to mauls the two state platitude and let Gaza remain in a hell hole where Hamas will revive its reign of terror and Palestinians who won

something different we tossed off buildings. The reaction of mister Trump's brainstorm highlights, in particular that the Arabs don't really care about the Palestinians. Egypt refused to take over Gaza when Israel offered it along with the Sinai Peninsula after the nineteen seventy eight Camp David accords. Egypt wouldn't even let Palestinian civilian women and children leave Gaza for a temporary refuge at the height of the recent Amas Israel war.

As for Jordan, nineteen seventy one, King Hussain killed and expelled Palestinian nationalists who threatened Hashimite rule. Quote. No refugees in Jordan, No refugees in Egypt close quote, said Jordan's King Abdouli the second after the October seventh, twenty twenty three massacre. Neither country wants Palestinian migrants who might bring Gee hottest impulses back by money and guns from Iran.

Sellian point that we doubt mister Trump has any appetite to send in this eighty second airborne to occupy Gaza, and we know the American people don't. But perhaps his pitch will cause the rest of the world to do more to support a post Hamas government in Gaza that would let Palestinians live in a territory that is better than Hell on Earth. And see that's what I suggested the other day in response to all this craziness. You know, Trump needs to do something to get people off the dime.

He says something outrageous to get people to start thinking about it and come up with better ideas and solutions. So I think there's a certain tongue in chet point that Trump's making. No, we're not going to go in and own it. At least that's my conclusion, and I'm glad the Journal shares my view on that. And of

course Tech Frida with Dave hadter coming up. In Chinese hackers can access and record your phone call subject number one with Dave after I mentioned imaging, which can be affordable as long as you don't go to the hospital imaging department. I'm talking affordable imaging services. Don't go to the hospital. You're paying for overhead, you're paying for profit.

It's fat bang. Five thousand dollars for a CT scan is unconscionable, and yet they charge that kind of money each and every day, plus separate bills for radiologists, reports, and I don't know, probably get a line item for just walking in the door. Hospitals are very very expensive at affordable imaging services. Walk in expecting low overhead, but that loverhead allows them to do a CT scan without a contrast for only four hundred and fifty bucks with

a contrast six hundred. What kind of equipment, same stuff hospitals use. You still't pay for a lot of overhead. Professionals operating at board Certified radiologists report included in every image they do MRI no contrasts four ninety five with contrasts six forty five. That CT scan with a contrast six hundred, echo cartogram four ninety five and an ultrasounds only two hundred and fifty bucks. You might pay two thousand for that at the hospital. So don't you have

a choice when it comes to your medical care? Save huge money? Five one three seven five three eight thousand five one three seven five three eight thousand online Affordable Medimaging dot.

the reporting of it has died off. I've never seen anything that says that they believe they've fully solved this problem. Hence the FBI's suggestion that you should use into end encrypted apps like Signals. So again, think about it, Brian. We've been doing this for a long time.

could be catastrophic. So it's not good. And we really as a country if they just got to get serious about such its infrastructure, or we're in deep trouble.

But the broader implications to shut down, and when we talk about a larger problems I perceive to be bigger problems like shutting down the electric grid or the water system or any of those, are truly catastrophic, you know, riot creating events. You know again, and just doubling down on your point, we really should take better stock in ourselves and worry about these things and double down on solutions to fix them or prevent them from happening in the first place.

for our companies. It's not fine from a trade secret standpoint. It's not fine for our companies from a let's shut this down, put this company out of business or worse, you know, turn off the power grip or whatever else. So yeah, we really really have got the excuise about this.

very easy to do with Emory Federal Credit Union. So for every friend and family member or a colleague you refer to Emory who becomes a member. You're both going to get a reward at twenty five dollars simply by spreading the word about the benefits of banking with Emery. And there are great benefits for banking with Emery doing it for years and years, maybe I think longer than Dave Hatter's been on this program. I had a bank

kund at Emory. Federal Credit Union rates are great. Service is superior, and now you can earn a little extra cash and help your loved ones unlock a world of financial opportunities.

year where now these hackers are smart enough. Now it might be they're using AI voices so that they sound American, but they'll you know, try to fish you and tell you that, hey, I'm from Google. There's a problem with your account. Hey look, I'm going to call you from a number that you can find on Google's website, because remember it's easy to spoof a phone number. And it just goes to show you the level of sophistication they're

operating with now. And because you know you and I talk about these things, we say, don't do this, don't do that, look out for this thing over here. Well, now it appears that you're getting an email that came from Google. It appears you're getting a call that came from Google, and you know you're not getting someone on the phone that doesn't speak English. You're getting someone on the phone or a voicemail from someone that sounds authentic.

And you know, a lot of this they're just using open source intelligence and spooking techniques, because you know, I can go look up and if I'm a criminal, I can go find a Google phone number. I can make a call using something like Google Voice that appears to

have originated from Google. And while it's a little more sophisticated than that, if you read the article that the point I want to make the focus is, you know a lot of the things that we I and other people have been saying for a long time that you should look out for, some of that stuff doesn't really work anymore, because if the bad guys are smart and sophisticated, and they'll do their own homework and they'll use spooking tools or work through legitimate Google services to send you things.

So like you know, I could go to a Google forms page, send you a message from that form, and it will have a legitimate Google dot com domain associated with it. So the point here is a you've got to be even more skeptical than ever before. And just because something looks like it can't from Google. Even if it's a phone call, you can't assume it's real. And I'll tell you, Brian, call Google. Sometimes it's sad you can get a human being on the time.

real problem. I mean, it's just preposterous to even think that that could happen.

defense against any sort of non sophisticated hacks. That's where they'll they'll start this more sophisticated stuff and they claim to be from Google and they want you to do this and enter this code. It's because they are trying to get around MFA on their end and they need you to give them that code so that they can take over your account. And one of the things they talk about in there is the use of pass keys to pass keys instead of passwords. Not every site supports this.

Google does, Microsoft does, a lot of the big players do. Now uses public key cryptography, so you have a public ken and a private key. It gets associated with one or more of your devices, and especially if you have biometrics turned on that device, which is a separate topic. Now, it's almost impossible for someone to take over your account because they have to have that physical device, for example,

your phone. If you create a pass key for your Microsoft account or your Google account and you assostate it with your phone, the hackers physically have to possess the phone in order to use those pass keys. So while it can be somewhat irritating to get the pass keys to work right. For any site that supports it, you're definitely better off to use a pass key and a password, because as far as I add of today, there's no way I know how to get around that because it's

digitally connected to it one or more devices. They have to have those devices. But if you don't use pass keys, if you don't know how to use pass keys, if you're on a site that does support pass keys, this just goes to show you you've got to be extremely skeptical on just because someone calls you or you'll get emails that look legit. It's never been easier to spoof that stuff, and people are having lots of money stolen

and their whole lives up ended. Because I didn't have the right accounts for you, I could do almost anything.

call back, there's been a problem with your account. And I'm thinking to myself, yeah, right, And so what did I do. I went to my fifth third account and logged on directly from it, and of course there was nothing suspicious, wrong, weird, or unusual going on to my bank accounts. So of course I'd never called back, and I deleted the message. But he sounded like a regular guy.

He sounded normal, and he sounded concerned, and I, uh, just again, it was obviously a spoof to me from the moment I just started hearing what he had this say.

glad you hired him. You'll enjoy the well oiled machine you'll see when they're working in your house, and they'll treat your house with the utmost respect. They're very, very customer focused, so they'll take great care of you. They enjoy an A plus with the Better Business Bureau, and of course they deserve that. Whatever work they do for you, from the smallest project to the largest comes with a ten year wiring warranty. So don't delay, don't delay putting

off the upgrade of your nobin tube wiring. It's been around for a long, long long time. Timed upgrade. Same thing with aluminum wiring. Surround sound. They do that, they do canlights. I did that with my house, the whole house generator they wired up. If it's electric, just think Coulin Electric. Never have to worry about it and the

price will always be right. Five one three two two seven four one one two Tael Andrew and the team that Brian said Hi when you call them five one three two two seven four one one two Online Cullen c U L L E N Cullenelectriccincinnati dot Com.

rip us off day. What's up.

you haven't heard this term, mark my words. In the next few months, you're going to be bombarded with agentics, which is the idea if you're going to have these AI agents that can do stuff for you. So rather than you have to sit down and type a prompt into an AI tool to have it do something, you would create one or more agents and they're just going to do stuff on their own, on their behalf. Does that make sense? Before I kind of continue.

spreadsheet in other form or something. You know, if you have a unknown process that a human being could do, and you can define those rules, and you theoretically could build an agent that would say, Okay, at two pm one Thursday, look in my email for a spreadsheet from Sindelar, who download that spreadsheet and process at using these rules

and put it in this database or something like that. Right, you'd have to define what it is you wanted to do, but then basically through AI, it would be able to do it on your behalf help. So imagine then if you took these kinds of tools and set them up to nefarious purposes, like okay, I want you to go out and scan the internet, because there's some of this stuff already exists, right, most of the hacking to see isn't someone's sitting in their mom's basement. It's already using automation.

You know, they're scanning, they're looking for vulnerabilities and systems they find online. They're trying to take dark Web data and access people's email accounts. But instead of saying, Okay, I'm going to run an automated tool and I see this system as this weakness come back to it later, you could have an agent that would kick in at that point and then attempts to exploit the known vulnerabilities. So it wouldn't take a human being to then engage

that AI could potentially do it. And the scary thing about it then, assuming that this does what they claim it will do, stuff doesn't take a break, it doesn't call it sick. It works twenty four to seven. You could spin up hundreds of thousands of these things, and basically you have a really powerful army of agents out there doing bad things as opposed to needing people to do those more advanced steps. Does that sort of make sense?

me of a lot of Doctor Strange Left. Yeah, when you do the conversation that mutually is your destruction, well we have to have more missiles than them, and that sort of thing. But yeah, agendics agents, that's the latest buzzword, this idea that you're going to be able to use agents to do things, and sadly, part of that would be to supercharge the sort of cyber attacks because you know they wouldn't. Again, they don't call them sick, they don't take breaks. They were twenty four to seven to

sixty five, and it's it is a real concern. I don't want to downplay it. I'm not sure it's quite the existential threat some people might have you believe at this point.

overseas for you know, the Sesame Street episodes in Iraq or whatever. But you you illustrated a great point and go ahead.

not even America. And this is the whole thing what Trump was saying, America first, America first, and that's what we're getting back to. That's what you see Elon and these folks getting back to. That's why they're going after USAID, which doesn't mean aid, right, it doesn't even stay for aid. But you know, we're finding out that essentially it's an arm of the CIA in a way, and it's there to push political agendas. Whoever's in power at the time,

probably it's there to push their political agenda. In these other countries, create activists so that they can implement whatever it is they want to implement, right, trans surgeries in Peru, things like that. You create these activist people like they did in the United States. And this is all coming out now. This is why you get these activists, folks that are a lot of times funded by people like George Soros, who received a bunch of money from USAID.

heads off. But the marketing component of this, and I'm very impressed with the efforts of DOGE to bring forth all of these outrageous things because they're indefensible. Oh yeah, make the American people up to it. But then pivoting over to the deportation component, I understand people's arguments when they say, oh, this woman's been living here for fifteen years, she's gainfully employed, she contributes to the community, but she's illegal.

That's not who they're going after. They start off with the most evil of evil, and everybody wants murderers, child rapists, pedophiles out of their neighborhoods. Democrats, Republicans, communists, don't want to pedophile living next to their house. So you can't run around and defend or and scream about the deportations which are focused on the worst of the worst, the criminal types.

These are the repercussions of your actions, right, And you can't just feel sorry for some people because it's going to keep happening. You have to put your foot down somewhere. And Tom Homan, who's in charge of this whole thing, now, he was on ABC last night, I think it was last night, but he was trying to explain this to the ABC hosts, who obviously are biased I mean, you've seen what's happened to you. But he's trying to explain to them, like, look, you can't just make exceptions.

acting like children. I mean, you raise kids, right, I mean you've got say your kid feels sorry for some raccoon outside brings it in the house, right, You're like, hey, look you can't have the raccoon. Oh but it's so cute. Then the kid gets bit, gets rabies. Then you have to pay for it to go to lo.

consumptive society. Our wealth has allowed that to happen. Our wealth is predicated and built on capitalism and exceptionalism and meritocracy. They're trying to take away meritocracy and fill us and fill the country with a bunch of mediocrity. So we end up not doing as well, intentionally knocking us off this lofty perch that we have held for so long because of how our gun works and because of the

freedoms and liberties we have. No other country has them, which is why they aren't nearly as productive as the United States.

trans surgeries. You want promote all the transurgers and tell everybody else they're bad people for not letting you do it. I mean they're going into some of the public schools. I think it was actually in Peru they were going into the public schools and teaching you know, the LGBTQ agenda things like that, which you know, great community, let

them do their thing whatever. But now you're going into another country and you're holding back money for their school system that the United States taxpayer gives them unless they teach this stuff. It's it's it's bribery.

it's it's just Frankenstein. It's turned into this, this monster, and nobody's looked at it because they see us a ai D and they think us aid, oh, well, we're doing aid. Of course, yeah, let's some of my tax dollars go to this thing. But they've never looked into it until now. And now that we're looking into it, we realize this is all going to fund the Democrat agenda. Yes, and you know what if it funded the Republican agenda,

wouldn't be for that either. I mean, you mean you're a libertarian kind of you know thing going on, but you can't you can't just use our money for political stuff because you're using people that don't believe in what you're doing money. And it's it's just crazy.

quality service. I love the family environment they have going on there, and you get that and I like to save money, and you definitely get that at Foreign Exchange as well. Imported cars from traditional imported manufacturers, whether it's Asia or Europe or Teslas. Like to emphasize they do service Teslas now as well at Foreign Exchange, but you get great service. You leave with a full warranty on parts and service. I don't care what kind of maker

model you've got. If it's traditionally imported, from the exotic to the run of the mill, you're in great hands at Foreign Exchange and you will save money. I've saved serious money. I've been going there for for as long as I can remember, because I like the service and I like not paying as much as just compared to

the dealer. That's what we're talking about. Westchester locations the one I choose and I strongly recommend it, where Austin and is as certified Master technicians will take great care of you well. Tylersville exit off of I seventy five, head east two streets and hanging right on Kinglin. That's the easiest way to get there, unless you're coming from

the other side, but you'll figure it out.

Money is fungible. If you have a general fund that is supposed to take care of roads and infrastructure, and then you sell the railroad and put it in a separate fund that is designed to pay for exclusively already existing projects, you just free up money from the General Fund so that the railroadmnute goes to quote unquote roads or whatever, and then the general fund money's freed up

to start new stuff and things. And we saw that the other day from the Vice mayor who wants to talk about the Rising fifteen neighborhoods and using railroad proceeds for this so called rising fifteen described as neglected neighborhoods. And I guess I can just observe Democrats have been running. And I misspoke the other day. Ken Blackwell was a charter right when he was mayor, I thought he was

a Republican. So I withdraw that statement because someone reported that we haven't had a Republican running the city since nineteen seventy one. Well, that is in fact true, so beyond Ken Blackwell and his more conservative minded attitude, at least now, Democrats have been in control since basically seventy one or roughly thereabouts, maybe you can even say nineteen eighty when Ken Blackwell left office. Why do we have

all these neglected neighborhoods. I mean, you know, we got a streetcar, we've got over the line that got redeveloped, but nobody else gets any love. And now that we've got railroad money, they're going to start focusing on these neglected communities.

seven eight years ago, and now it's a disaster. It's it's like a war happened right there.

and they did it in chunks and pieces. And I guess that's a strategy that UBS uses, which UBS is fine, you know, investment firm, but you know that money hasn't been been, you know, enjoying the gains that we've seen

in the stock market that it could have. Right, So I keep going back to those those TV commercials they spent six million dollars on to convince the people in Cincinnati to vote for that rail deal, where I have tabs sitting in the car right where they use the railroad money to promote him in the commercials, which you know they both had the same treasurer for their campaigns. That todd zens are found out for us. Yeah, but but I keep reminding myself of all the potholes he

was in, you know, bouncing around a car. But they haven't gone away.

and this the years that they have failed us. Look at the cities that have been completely run by Democrats for decades, Baltimore, Memphis, Cincinnati, Chicago. There's a school in Chicago where they pay over sixty five thousand dollars a student going sixty five thousand dollars a student. None of the kids can read at grade level. None of the kids can read a grade level. There is a list of all the schools. You guys can look it up. There's a list of all the Chicago schools and how

much money they pay for students. Sixty five twenty five is student thirty. That's private school money. But they can't go anywhere, right, because they don't believe in school choice. They want you to go to their little schools. They want they're in doctrination camps. They want you to think like them. They want you to be dependent on these politicians. And then you have people like Kearnie who's like they use the word underserved. Anytime they use the word underserved,

you already know what's gonna happen. Right, They're gonna steal from you, steal from good money and give to bad money. Right, are always doing that.

is really a truly nefarious element behind that. I think they're intentionally not teaching our kids to be critical thinkers. They're intentionally dumbing down the populace because then the dumbed down populace has to say, oh my god, I can't take care of myself. I need the government to take care of me. They need a vicious cycle. It's terrible. It's terrible what they do to people. Let's pause from what we'll bring back. Adam Keyler got lots to talk about,

including bitcoin and Bengals. First, though, tom is a big day ten am to four pm. Get out to twenty two three on Route forty two between Mason and eleven and my favorite gun store. The best people in the world own at Wendy and Jeff. Please tell them, Ryan said, eye when you stop in, and one of the reason you want to stop in between ten and four tomorrow, it's a suppressor Day. Shaw Armament is going to be there with some amazing suppressors, suppressors that are serviceable, modular

and caliber changeable. Serviceable is an important thing when it comes to suppressors. You may know about suppressors, so you know that it's an important element, But if you don't know anything about it and you've always been curious about maybe owning one, get out and talk to the folks at Shaw Armament. They're going to be there demonstrating them and you'll have an opportunity. They have them from twenty

two caliber all the way up. Some suppressor caliber changes and shoot anything from nine millimeters all the way up to fifty cow, which I find really hard to believe, but there they are tomorrow, and so we'll also have a full auto MP five on hand the customers can test out on the range. So it's going to be a great day. At twenty two to three, they have a gun shop. It's amazing, filled with all kinds of different firearms. Of course they have AMMO, They have a

gunsmith and a great indoor range. So think about that all the time, but get out to between ten and four to check out the suppressors. Twenty two to three dot com. It's the number twenty two, followed by the word three spelled out twenty two to three dot com.

this medical debt. But I mean it helped them get elected. I mean it's thirty thousand people who got letters in the mail saying that their medical debt was going to get paid off, like a.

about whether or not it's it's a good thing. Talk about it logically and reasonably.

because most people don't. Brian, I mean, you're you're on here every day, you pay attention, You watch the news, you listen to the news, so you have some material to talk about most people just go about their day. They got other things to worry about, right. I understand that especially these underserved served people, Right, they're worried about how they're gonna put put food on the table, if their kid's gonna get shot out in the street, or are they gonna come home today because they got into

a fight at school. Like those are the things that people have to worry about every single day in the hood that you know, we're not out there is Republicans, Libertarians, you know, people that are center right. We're not out there every single day in front of these folks saying, hey, look what the Republican Party is doing, and they don't ever get our message because it's blocked.

a really good chance we're going to win. I mean, it's a seventy percent Democrat district the city of since it anty.

to problems, to put forth their ideas and offer their opinions. Uh, and just one more vehicle to get the message out, which message quite often is suppressed. We all have dealt with that kind of idea before. When will you be launching this exchange? Is it going to be online like Cincinnati Exchange dot com? What's how's that going to work?

the railroad? If why not? Like we need tools to actually put our ideas out there, and that's one of the things that that's gonna do. And then on top of that, now we've got this Cincinnat's Change site, which isn't part of the Hamilt kind of JOP at all, none of that. It's something that I'm doing that I want to try to get the people that are in these clubs activated, get them on our platforms, start writing

about some of these things on a daily basis. But then individually those people can go out work with our favorite producer maybe and get your Joe Strecker and get their get their podcasts off the ground. And I've got a podcast studio people could come into my studio. They can use my podcast equipment and they could get their own little podcast going. Or we could we could start a conservative podcast in Cincinnati and get it out there. I mean this I would consider a central right kind

of radio show. You know, you're gonna have some people on they're a little further right. Maybe you're gonna have some people on that are left. Like I don't want to I don't want it to just be one viewpoint, So I want it to be objective.

I mean, you may have missed quite a few of the points that you're supposed to be dealing with here because you're just patting yourself on the back all the time. Right, It's one of the problems the Democrat party has they get in an echo chamber and they don't realize, for example, like with regard to the criminal illegal immigrant situation, or even more fundamentally, this weird thing that the left is supporting, which is letting men play against women in women's sports.

No one likes it. Every single poll Republican, Democrat, Independent overwhelmingly reject that only a small slice of humanity thinks it's appropriate for some oversight a man to be boxing a woman.

you've got to get our ideas out there somehow. We need more channels to put our ideas out there and say here's what we have to say.

content on there. And that's going to be something that I just do, right, I just put it out there, and it's you know, I own a digital ad agency, so it's it's easy for me to spin up a.

here with regard to the Bengals. Now, I know there's these suggestions that maybe if Bengals don't get everything they want by way of stadium upgrades that they're somehow going to take their ball and go to another city or move it or you know that kind of thing. But there are options out there, one of which is, we

do have the right. It's like write a first refusal kind of proposal that if they plan on moving or selling the team, then somebody else the city, vergil could come in and buy it from them and they have to sell it.

actually wasn't the NFL. It was the State of Ohio that came up with this when the Browns left and went to Baltimore. So you have no leverage right now with Mike Brown and the team. If they wanted to leave, they give you a ninety day notice, a quard of the art model rule, and if a local buyer doesn't raise their hand and say, hey, I want to purchase the team, they can leave. But the thing is, the NFL says you can only finance go to the bank

for a billion dollars. Well, the Bengals are worth between four and a half five five and a half billion dollars. There's three different groups that actually valuate the team, so it did end up in the middle somewhere. But that means somebody would have to come up with three and a half, say four and a half billion dollars in cash, maybe borrow against their stock or borrow against the value of their company to purchase the Bengals. That's slimmed to

none chance exactly. So if nobody raises their hand, they're gone. They could go to Mexico City, they'd go wherever, which would be interesting under the Trump administration on American football team going to Mexico City. But we need to do something, we need leverage. So there's this thing, you know, obviously, crowdfunding. I know a lot of people probably understand how crowdfunding works. But on top of that, there's there's this method called tokenization,

which is essentially you create value. You create these tokens that are traded on an exchange, and people can buy and sell those freely. It makes you more liquid. But Mike could either sell us forty nine percent of the team, maintain control, and then be able to sell the forty nine percent team back into the community. Now the community would benefit because now you've got regular people in a crowdfund. You don't have to be an accredited investor.

firs since we own the stadium. Then you expand that out to the metro area. And then you expand it out to say the Trice State area, maybe include West Virginia two. But you've got a lot of Bengal fans. I mean, if you've got five and a half million people in Bengaled them right, each person one thousand bucks. There's your five and a half billion dollars right there.

here in the fifty five Cares mortsh. I appreciate you making the trip and you know how much I like having somebody in studio to talk to face to face, and I've enjoyed the various topics we talked about.

and I are going back and forth. So good morning there. Yeah, there you go, coming in loud and clear. Now, David, it's great to have you on the morning show. Congratulation on the victory and of course representing Ohio District too. It's a sizeable district. Remind my listeners of your background, because you have a very impressive background that obviously qualifies you eminently for the job because most notably you run your own small business, but also we're a former prosecutor.

over the years since then and helped out where I could. Yeah, I think it's important to have more people with the business background in Washington, and I'm glad to say that in this incoming Congress, a lot of the new members don't have lifetime of political service. A lot of them are in businesses of different kinds, of widely varied backgrounds, which is you know, I think that's the goal.

lot of previous policies from the outgoing administration. But if we don't go behind him and codify those things in the law, then you know, the next time we have a Democrat in the White House, those things will will just be another flurry of executive orders. And I don't think that's how the United States is supposed to be governed. Now.

the political strike, is cracking down on the border. I mean, one of the reasons Donald Trump won and by a large margin, including the popular vote, is because this border security thing was just insane. Biden welcome people and in fact encourage people from the four corners of the globe to come to the United States, overwhelming even the most blue Democratic cities to the point where the citizen there was screaming at the top of their lungs to make

it stop. But border crossings down ninety percent. I read that this morning. But it's something that the next administration, if god forbid, we elect the Democrat president, could immediately undo. So what is your codify into law solution? Do you have one? Are you working on legislation to put something into law?

bloated federal regulatory structure. In fact, a member of my staff spoke to Congressional Research Service last year just tried to get an idea of under when he's working for someone else out here, just to try to get an idea of how many federal regulations there were, and we're basically told that's not even knowable, just so many we

could not possibly give you account. So obviously it's not a law that would need to be an effect forever, but probably need to be an effect for a number of years to sort of puld the unwieldy and you often, you know, very negative federal regulations.

you get an omnibus bill. It's twelve hundred and fifteen hundred pages long, and it is it's you can't understand it because it mentions changes to regulations which aren't fully spelled out in the omnibus, which means you got to go back to the Coda fegga regulations and have that handy to understand what's sitting in front of you. But ultimately it's only out there for like three days. So even if you could read it cover to cover and understand it, which you literally cannot.

fortunate enough to be chosen for both of those. We targeted agriculture because you know, there are eleven thousand family farms in the district and not only and they're struggling under the lack of a farm bill that's been kicked down the road two years running now, and I do believe we're going to get that across the finish line this year. I think we're in a good spot starting out.

But also that Agriculture Committee has some jurisdiction over the rural connectivity issue, and that's a huge problem in the second district. Large swaths of the district aren't not meaningfully connected to the Internet, which means they're not meaningfully connected to the modern economy.

waters here. But I am no fan of burning up corn in my gas tank, and I don't think there's any need for it. It's all predicated on climate change or something. And I don't know if I understand how or why it is a good thing to burn up food in cars, And yet we pay subsidies and encourage farmers to do exactly that because of the ethanol mandates. Where are you on that topic? And you feel free to disagree with me or explain why I'm wrong.

so the farmers mostly are for it. Oh yeah, It's something I'm digging into, but not something I've got a position on yet.

It's like everybody else in the Trump administration. We'll bring him right back. Don't go away.

that will make those bills easier to pass. So I think, you know, as much as you and I don't love the executive order, they are going to be helpful in actually legislating in this case.

it's happening than how it finds out. And honestly, there's nothing wrong with the president appointing someone to look at what's going on within his bureaucracies. And this, you know, the us AID was was enacted by executive order by John F. Kennedy, So if the President wants to look at it again, more than within his rights to do so.

of the Department of Education. Do you think that will have some sort of effect on allowing students and families to make greater choices in their education.

more opportunities for school choice. I have it does a great job with the voucher system, but it can be a lot better, Like with more resources in the state. My district which has fewer uh you know, school choice options, would be able to have more school choice options. So yeah, I know Congressman Matthew has proposed this before, and God love him for it, and I've always been for it, But this time around, it it looks like it's got

some traction from the White House as well. So now now seems like the time.

of it. And it's it's an unfortunate carve out, but it's one that it's sort of necessary to give it a chance to pass. To improve this. It's awa in the long run. But yeah, I don't think you're supposed to make a career out of this. I think the founder's envisioned people having a life before and after politics, and you'll go out and have a life and bring some value life experience to Washington and then leave and make room for someone else.

with your constituents. Got a lot of folks from district too, and we always enjoyed having Congressman Winstup on the program. So I'm looking forward to more conversations with you, sir. It's been a real pleasure today. Thank you very guys. Have a great day, you do the same, and a wonderful weekend. Eight twenty five fifty five KARSITI talk station.

I got Linda on the phone. Linda, thanks for calling this morning in a very happy Friday to you.

here in the city of Cincinnati. Yes it's blue. Yes we've lost, but we're coming back strong and hard. And I thank President Donald Trump for all the things that he's doing so quickly to change things around. And I also think that because of what he's doing, and because of the exposure that he's doing, is changing a lot of hearts and minds in the African American community, not just here in Cincinnati, but around the country. To see all the waste that they've been doing, making all these

false promises that they couldn't keep. And I'm just so proud of what he's doing.

Douglas Foundation of Ohio. We have created different events and outreach in the urban corps, not just here, but across the state of Ohio. We have ambassadors throughout the state of Ohio. We have a wonderful strong Boy and we're bringing a big event here of February the twentieth at

the Woodlawn Recreation Center. The Frederick Douglas Foundation is along with Black Wall Street and what we're trying to do is engage in the urban cores and change hearts and minds of things that you know, they've been indoctrinated into and to see that what they've been thinking.

So now we have to rethink and recharge on how we're going to move forward in the future in twenty twenty five and so we're gonna have this big discussion and you know, I'm excited about it, and I just want to call in and let you know that I am working hard in the urban car in open core and working across the state of Ohio with an ambassadors that we have in Cleveland, Liverpool's, Montgomery County, Warren County,

Butler County, Hamilton County. So we have ambassadors all over the great state of Ohio, and we're doing the work in the urban core and we just got we just really started so this year and next year, the years of ahead of us, we're going to be in that urban core, engaging, educating, and changing hearts and minds so that they can see that what they've been doing all along was not in their favor by voting for the Democratic Party.

updates on what's going on. I can't thank you enough for your hard work. Keep it up. And then you got an event like that, you want to promote it, you got a place to do it right here, and I'm glad to see it sold out. How exciting is that, Linda. Have a fantastic weekend. Get engaged, just like Linda. Turn the Tide eight thirty seven at five k Sity Talk station in Mississippi, James and Patriot you Patriot. Jeff's on

the phone. We'll get your calls. If you guys don't mind holding on just for a minute, I'll be right back.

I mean he had more people at the White House that had to do with business than he ever did you know, people that were going to back him, or money people or whatever. It was all about, let's get business people rock and and roll.

because they were forced to build them. That's not a business decision that a prudent automobile manufacturer would make. It's because of Edict's mandates and incentives from government to do something otherwise wouldn't do because it's not in your best interest. Your good man, Jeff, have a fantastic weekend, Mississippi. James, welcome back to the morning show, my friend.

to take over anything. We can just say, hey, look at life in Venezuela and under their system of government, and look at life in America where we have all these freedoms, liberties, and the ability to go off on our own and make money and profits and employ people. So we are the demonstration to the rest of the world of a better way to run a government. That's kind of what my point I think.

Now I think it's beginning to turn even here in Meridia, Mississippi, they have started a program what they use social emotion learning now. So I've just been invited to come to the public school to teach a program that I've been tweaking over the last five years. So I'm getting ready to go up mentor in some of the.

they had zero tolerance. So when a teacher sent a kid to the principal office, the principals do not mitigate anything. They call the police. Police come out. We're putting handcuffs on ten twelve third ye old kids, take them to the juvenile center. Maybe because he had his back pants were sagging, or he had on their own colored socks outside the uniform, you know, so minus stuff they were. So it was so progressive.

Not just in our schools, We're in a problem in society. So yeah, James, I wish you all luck in the world, and I hope the program is a wildly successful one. And I want to thank you for engaging and getting involved with the young people in your community. It's just there were more people like you, James, we wouldn't have as many problems. God bless you, sir. I always love hearing from you. Man, have a wonderful weekend. Got to

take a break. I'll take Joe's call as soon as I get back to hang on one second, Joe, if you don't mind.

some places. I mean the struggles that people in Chicago have versus the struggles that people in Cincinnati have or even look at a place like Los Angeles to San Francisco where it's impossible to even afford a house. Those are different struggles. It's like, you know the minimum wage that the left wants to push out there, fifteen dollars minimum wage, twenty dollar minimum wage, Well, that will be a lot of money if you live, perhaps in a

state like West Virginia. I don't mean to pick on West Virginia, but contrast West Virginia's economics to a place like New York City. I mean, you better damn will make more than that prescribed minimum wage in New York City. You're not gonna be able to afford to live anywhere. So that one size doesn't fit because the economic realities are just completely different regardless depending upon where you're standing

in our country. Yeah, innovation, local innovation, Try different solutions, different options, and try to stay away from taking the federal dollar because we're gonna end up with a one size fits all solution that won't fit all. Appreciate to call my friend and thank you for the kind words and the well wishes. A wonderful day in the program The Big Picture with Jack Aden in chapter two for this week he talked to He had more thoughts on Gaza.

Always enjoy hearing from Jack brilliant Man. He is Tech Friday with Dave hatter As a segment that will scare the hell out of all the three topics we talk about today, Adam Taylor and Studio talking about ideas, getting the exchange of ideas from a conservative side of the ledger. He's going to be rolling out Cincinnati Exchange, so you

can write, you can participate. We're hoping to get some good people regularly engaged on that to spread some of the ideas in the different innovative solutions from a more conservative or libertarian standpoint. Also, Congressman David Taylor replaced Congressman brad Winstroup. Sounds like a great guy. He's got some good ideas and I'm sure we'll be hearing from Congressman Taylor a lot down the road. Get the podcast fifty five Casey dot com. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
