And finally Lewiann Horman Seminar March eighteenth, empower Youamerica dot org how to transform our perspective, attitude, and behavior. Apparently understanding the science of psychological change can help us transform our perspectives, attitude, and behavior, but believes about ourselves in the world, apparently stifling our ambition and preventing us from realizing our full potential. So ways around that weighs to transform your life again and empower you seven or empower

Youuamerica dot org. Well you heard the top of the Our name is Chucky Schumer apparently caved depending on your perspective, says he is going to vote to keep the government open. He complained that if the you know, this is something I guess they were screaming at each other in a closed door room the other day, the realities of a government shutdown. It does give Donald Trump a tremendous amount of leeway to decide what is critical and what is

not critical in terms of keeping the government going. And I was thinking as I was driving in when I first heard this, that this this idea that they're going to go ahead and vote to keep the government open. First off, you know clearly, the Democrats would own the shutdown. I know there's always this back and forth on who's responsible in prior government shutdowns, during which nobody ever died,

and I'm sure your lives were not impacted. And of course all the federal employees who were not working during that period of time got all their pay, so it's only a delay in payment. But moving beyond that, they would clearly own this. You know, the Republicans in the Senate, we're going to vote for it, meaning if the Democrats stopped it didn't give them the sixty votes they needed. The Democrats would have been responsib before the government shutdown,

clear convincing, objectively obvious. So for all those years they screamed and welled and asked their teeth about the horrors of a government shutdown, and always the Republicans fault, this would have been owned by them. But moving away from that, because Trump would decide what parts of government are open or not, that gives them admodus amount of power, doesn't it. And they were worried that maybe some of these areas of government wouldn't be reopened. Now find that little lacking

in credibility. But that was some of the concerns that were expressed. But I thought one of the areas of government that would probably be kept open'd be the Department of Governmental Efficiency. And if none of the other employees are in these shutdown agencies, wouldn't that give them the freedom, like the keys to the door, to go on in and start ferreting through stuff and things while everybody else was home, and not preventing them from doing that. Just

the thought. But apparently the concern about this shutdown overwhelmed the naysayers, and Trump or A Shimer has capitulated. I believe my job to make the best choice for the country to minimize the harms of the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down. That in a statement from the Senate floor yesterday, I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via government shutdown is a far worse option.

So there's going to be a vote to limit the debate on the spending bill, the continuing Resolution scheduled today around one point fifteen. Jimmer, speaking with reporters last night, we want the attention of the American people not focused on different bills that they would bring to the floor during the shutdown. We'd rather focus on our message, which is beginning to work. And I wrote after that, well what message? What's beginning to work? And then he answered

the question in the next sentence. During the this is the reporting for Fox News, but it's quotes from Schumer. The Democrats message is that quote they're hurting the middle class to give tax breaks for the billionaire's close quote. Yeah, how many years we've been hearing that. There's no new message, there's no message, just the same old, tired trope. It's

all this class warfare company the Democrat Party. And if he's referring to the Trump tax cuts, which I don't think are addressed in the continuing Resolution, those benefit of the middle class tremendously. Wait, you see what your tax bill is going to be if those things disappear. And I'm always like to point out that, you know, if you are taking less money from those, for whatever reason, evil billionaires, then you're taking less job opportunities. You're you're

providing less job opportunities for the rest of us. They do employ a lot of people. And to what end is government using those evil billionaires tax dollars? Well, that's what Doge is pointing out to everybody, and maybe the concept of this taxation they're all being overly taxed, might take a hold and take a grip among the vast majority of American people when we find out where our tax dollars are going out, and how inefficient government is, and how they don't do a damn thing to protect

the interest of the American people. Social Security is a great illustration of it. They keep screaming about, how you know the Musk and Trump are going to take Social Security away from us time and time again. Every time that comes out, I say, no, we're not. We're trying to save it. If we can get rid of billions, if not trillions, of inefficiency and waste and fraud from the program, maybe we can keep it around a couple more years. It won't save it from a death spiral

because it is a Ponzi scheme. They hate hearing that. But there's reality, and then there's the Democrats spin on reality in an effort to get you all ginned up and worry that somehow Trump's going to turn this pigot off. He campaigns said he wouldn't touch it. He's had to come out multiple times staying I'm not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I wish you wouldn't say that. I wish he was frank with the American people and say we need to do something or it's not going

to be there anymore. Well, when Shimmer was asked what changed between Wednesday and Thursday to change his mind on this, here's what he had to say. As of yesterday. This again, this is yesterday after late yesterday afternoon. As of yesterday Wednesday, there were not enough votes to pass it. Well, I

guess now there are since he changed his mind. Shimmer said, I thought I would let people know that, but there were a bunch of undecided votes and members and as members studied it and look at it, each is making their own decision. On Wednesday, however, he claims that his caucus was unified and that they would vote know for the continuing Resolution. So what at what point would they become undecided? There were a bunch of undecided votes. That

means they were not you fight in their position. Undecided means I haven't made my mind up. I am not on board with voting no on this. So he's talking out of both sides of his mouth or out of his mouth and his sphincter simultaneously. I love this quote by Fetterman, because you know, Fetterman says some goofy things sometimes, but he at least was rational in his perception of this Continuing Resolution. Fetterman, I've seen the videos that they're

going to shut it down. I'm like, that's spicy, spicy. I don't know, I don't know if they'll do it or not. Spicy is it also extra crispy? So if the spending bill isn't passed by eleven fifty nine tonight, the government officially enters a shutdown twelve oh one tomorrow morning. So I going back to Congressman Thomas Massey. It's benefited tremendously by Donald Trump going after him about voting no on the CR. He was on the program earlier this week.

I strongly encourage you to listen to what he had and his explanation for why he voted no. It makes crystal clear sense. But he did predict this would happen. He said, it's a foregone conclusion the Senate will vote for the Continuing Resolution in spite of what Chuckie Schimmer was saying like five minutes ago, which obviously he's changed his tune. Thomas Massey predicted it and it coming true. Yet again, his predictions are regularly accurate. Five sixteen. You

feel free to get you a call. We'll move into other areas, like, for example, how much funny Massy's taken in since the Donald Trump criticisms of him. We've got a few words to speak about coming up next, and I'll be right.

has happened before. It didn't work, but anyway, thanks to Donald Trump targeting Congressome Massy, Thomas Massey has been the beneficiary of a rather large infusion of campaign donations. I think it was yesterday, he announced, in less than three days, I've received two hundred and sixty one thousand dollars through three thousand, two hundred and three individual donations without sending an email, a text, or a phone call. It's a fundraising record for me, and it's boosted my current cash

on hand north of one point one million dollars. He tweeted on Wednesday that he had already received two hundred and five thousand dollars, and then sent out a tweet, I've received an amazing outpouring of support since I was attacked for voting no on the Biden money level CR. In fact, we just set two hundred five thousand from

twenty five hundred grassroots donors. Can you help me send a huge huges in quote huge message by reaching two undred and fifty thousand dollars before forty eight hour mark. That worked. That worked, So I'm sure he'll take more if you want to donate more now. Trump had attacked Massy ahead of the lawmaker ahead of the Massy's GOP primary back in twenty twenty. Decisive victory for Congressman Massy

in Kentucky's fourth eighty one percent of the vote. My friends in Kentucky loved Congressman Massy, and then Trump actually endorsed Massey before the twenty twenty two primary. Trumps all over the board on this one. And Massey got a bit over seventy five percent of the vote in the twenty twenty two Republican primary with three other candidates dividing the balance of the vote, and Massey earned es shy of seventy six percent in the twenty twenty four primary.

Blessed the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Oh. In the Power You Summoner last night on property taxes, I thought this was rather interesting the timing on it. Fox News reporting there are several states that are pushing to abolish property tax. Representative Russ diamond of he's a Republican out of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and he makes a great point we shouldn't have to pay rent to the government once we own our homes.

He's putting forth a resolution House Built nine hundred, a draft constitutional amendment that he hopes we'll go to the voters on election day this fall out. A typical piece of legislation require and gubernatorial approval. This means the people of the citizens of the state of Pennsylvania may decide to well eradicate property tax. He said. Property taxes are an issue that is not exactly partisan because in some

areas it's more of a big deal than others. He said, for me, the big deal is that I want people to own their own homes and not have to rent from the government all across Pennsylvania.

a sort of damicle is over my head. At least that's my personal psychological reaction to owing someone money, and a mortgage is owing someone money. So we took extra steps and did some belt tightening over the years and made some extra payments on our mortgage to get rid of it. And I felt relieved and it's usually the follow up, well, you're not relieved the property taxes. You got to keep paying and paying and paying and paying.

And I know property taxes are a huge burden for the senior folks out there, which was the subject matter of my conversation with Bill Blessing and his efforts to try to bring some relief to the Ohio taxpayers along all the lines that he talked about yesterday and at the Empower You summinar last night, not real thrilled to this idea of giving every school to a child a free lunch. A couple of emails Rhino was mentioned, So you draw your own conclusions on that. But he's not

the only state there, Pennsylvania. We got Florida. Governor of sant has proposed a similar question in the state last week asked is the property yours or are you just renting from the government. He said, you buy a home, payoff a mortgage, and yet you still have to write a check to the government every year just to live on your property. Taxpayers need relief, and he's adding that penning legislation seeking protections from homeowners will have his support.

So New Jersey also taking some steps to offer some property tax relief. So it's a growing phenomenon and it really makes sense, doesn't it. Five twenty five ifty five KRC detalk station, local stories or phone calls. I'll go either way. It's all always up to you. Five three seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk will be right.

For the Saint Patrick's Day parade, seventy one to high rain shows up late afternoon, severe weather one two inches of rain, gusty wins up the forty miles per hour, overnight low up fifty four and rain heads out in

the morning. On Sunday, clear sky. These skies will clear up and it'll be a high of fifty eight, so a little bit cool with right now fifty degrees fifty five per CD talks day it's five twenty nine, couple to a five thirty and yes, Eric, I know in spite of the fact that I loved my friends in the Commonwealth, and they brought us Congressman Thomas Massey and Senator Ran Paul. They did elect Mitch McConnell for four decades and stopped screaming at me. It's in all caps

and filled with expletives too. Eric's passionate about that one. You cracked me up, Eric, he really do anyhow? Five on three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred two three talk Otherwise, diving into a local story. His man's been arrested after court documents claim he tried to carry out a murder for higher plot. His name Dominic Grubb charged with conspiracy to commit murder corner of the Butler County

Court records FOX nineteen for reporting and thank you. Crime started Deceummer twenty fourth and twenty twenty four continued through January third. Grub, according to the records, approached and solicited what is described as a confidential informant to murder a

woman offered. The offered the informant an initial one hundredment that was to be placed in the informant's jail commissary account, gave the informants the intended victims address, vehicle information, and details about her family, which included her child's bus stop location. Told the informant he didn't care if the child was also killed.

imagine on which explet have we use? In the sentence, Grub offered a second one hundred dollars payment to show the informant he was serious about giving the intended Having the intented victim killed. Doesn't say whether the informant or whether the the alleged assassin turned him in or not. I presume so if someone offered you twenty five hundred dollars to kill someone? Would you be willing to risk perhaps the electric chair or the death penalty or at

least life imprisonment for premeditated murder for twenty five hundred dollars? No, thank you, Dad, God bless you.

sales tax. So literally everyone then would participate in funding the government, and they could express outrage when they go to the store and buy something that now costs extra because of the national sales tax as opposed to income tax, which only hits a smaller percentage of the American population. You know, those that work and those that make over a certain amount of money, they're the ones that fund most of the government. These evil billionaires pay the giant,

giant chunk of the income tax in this country. It's much bigger, and they fund the govern to a much greater extent than most of the people in the United States. And there's a certain segment, the bottom one third of the roung doesn't really pay anything at all because they're not subject to income tax because of their lower wages. You may say that be unfair to them, but they probably consume a lot less because they have fewer dollars

to spend. It's very complicated, and I'm not saying I got any as solutions to it, but you know, it is one answer to the complicated mess. Independence man facing charges after alleged assault during a road rage incident happened on Tuesday this week. Nineteen year old William stuff have been charged with criminal mischief, assault and wanton endangerment to the victim. He was driving a car into the intersection of Tailormill Road and Handspike when he passed the black

BMW because it was going too slow. He said, they jerked over real fast and pushed me off the road and I got back on the road and saw the driver laughing as he sped off. Said it was unable to get the license plate because his tire was shredded and the part of the wheel came off him. He was hitting the neck cheek. I'm sorry, then, he said, as I pulled over to change the tire, the BMW came back and I asked for them for their insurance information,

and they just started swinging. He said he was hitting the neck, chest and back and shoulder by this Stover kid and his passenger. He was bruised and cut under his right eye. Fox News interviewed him and thank you for the reporting. Fox News. Thank you, Joe. Unclear if the passenger William Stover's car was going to be charged.

Lou John. Charged with an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon a salsagejar. It must have been full Joe. According to the restaurant victims at a restaurant with another woman Monday, when someone took a picture of them and sent it to Jessica Holly Lou John. A short time later, she showed up at the bar and started swiping food and drinks off the table. She then picked up a glass salsagejar and threw it at her boyfriend hitting behind the ear.

Witness said the disturbance continued outside the restaurant. Well, of course it did, manager. Another witness told police that the couple argued outside and Halli lu John attempted to run over the victim with her vehicle. Okay, that's where the aggravated thissul comes from. Manager said. It appears she deliberately swerved her vehicle in the direction of the victim. Police got there, they met with a victim who said, quote

she hit the hell out of me close. Quote. While officers were speaking with the victim of the scene, Holly Lujanan called the victim multiple times and reportedly said, quote, so you're really upset to put You're really you're really upset to put me in jail. I didn't mean to I was just angry close quote whatever, thank you. It was kind of waiting for that, Joe. She eventually surrendered to the police court. To the police, she repeatedly stated she was upset and did not mean to cause harm.

Raw residents of Allentown, Pennsylvania, described as having a bit of excitement as a series of explosions shook the small city. Police advised them not to be concerned. As they were just disposing of a dead man's pipe bombs Joe. Lieutenant Chad Eggy said the loud boon was from the Allentown Bob Squak, Kentucky in emergency disposal operations on an improvised explosive devices. After one of the city's residents passed away, his friend was gathering items from his home when he

stumbled across the homemade ordinance. He called a friend in the police department, who then contacted the FBI. According to the lieutenant, there was no criminal intent. They didn't build them. They just found these devices and they reached out to somebody that they knew that worked with on these types of issues, and they contacted the FBI, which got us involved to take care of the devices. No one has any idea why the dead guy had them in the

first place. H Oh must be Friday naked man as tradition. New Hampshire man facing multiple charges after he allegedly crashed his car, fled the scene and then discarded all of his clothing before then running across all lanes of a busy highway. New Hampshire State Police said they received several reports about quarter to quarter after three in the afternoon Sunday of a man disrupting traffic on the Spaulding Turnpike

in Dover. Multiple passing drivers told police the man was naked and running and or walking within the travel lanes of the highway. State police showed up quickly located the naked guy. With the help from Dover Police, they were able to take him into custody. Preliminary investigation a term of the man had been involved in a crash on Varney Road in Dover and then fled on foot. The vehicle involved of the crash had been reported stolen sometime

earlier in the day in a nearby town. While fleeing the scene of the crash, for whatever reason, the man took off his clothes on the shoulder of the highway before crossing all lanes of travel. Man later identified by police as his thirty five year old Shawn Wiener Senior. Yeah, I'm sure dad is proud or junior is proud. Yes, anyway, Shawn Weener Senior of Somersworth taking an area hospital for

I love Permeddi Brothers sandwiches. This thing, Why are you doing that?

obscenities at the restaurant staff. Why are you doing that? Offices on the scene offered to place an uber for Gladwin, but he again refused and attempted to grab an officer's taser, so he was taken to the ground and arrested right awaiting a preliminary hearing. Now they're offering him an uber. He stripped naked and refused to pay his bill. I was awfully nice of the police officers there. Clearly the

guy's an idiot, had no explanation for getting naked. That's the only troubling thing about these stories is sometimes they just really don't provide any explanation whatsoever, except the fact that he was drunk. But you know, I'll be the first person to admit there have been times when I have over indulged on alcohol and I've never thought once it'd be a good idea to strip naked. What Morgantown, West Virginia man arrested after police said he was following

women around a Mongolia County apartment complex naked. Why are you doing that? Tap Adsoi Tafa d z Wa first name to Fadsoa Cheppoto, twenty five years old. Yeah, he's Irish, right, Joe. It's clearly irish to Fadzwa, Mick Chippoto how's that, oh, Chipot Hotel? Anyway, he's twenty five, reportedly walking around the Mountain Valley apartment complex completely nude on multiple occasions, according

to West Virginia State Police. One woman told police that when she walked around this guy, he followed her to her apartment, and after going into an apartment, she looked outside and saw him standing by her front door. That's creepy. The same woman saw him again on Wednesday, approximately two thirty in the afternoon, near her vehicle, completely naked with something in his left hand. What do you think it was?

Just then at eight thirty am, another woman saw him walking down a set of steps toward her vehicle, again completely naked. All this time he had a phone in his hand. Joe chartered two counts of indissent exposure currently in the North Central Regional Jail. Bond sat at ten

thousand dollars. I don't know what planet I'm on and it was our courtroom appearance during the trial of former Columbian President of Arro Ribe, prosecutor allegedly accidentally rather played a video of a naked woman unrelated to the case, resulting in laughter in the room. It was all captured on camera, a prosecutor, Marlene or Julia, initially played the video of a dwarf person dancing to music while carrying a liquor can. I'm having a hard time processing that one.

Shortly after an AI enhanced photo. Shortly after an artificial intelligence enhanced video of a nude woman was shown on the screen. Realizing a mistake, the prosecutor promptly stopped the video at apology guys for accidentally selecting a different clip rather than playing from a series of recorded phone calls related to the case. You're honor, my apologies. We wanted to show everything that Diego Cadena had sent, but we didn't foresee that this would happen. We have fifty seven files

consisting of videos and audio recordings. According to the colleague of mister mss Or o' julia, she struggled to remain calm as the court and the victim's attorneys started laughing. She said, my apologies, your honor, but well it's just that, and then remain stoneface. Although the the defendant remained stone face. I guess he's the one that had the dwarf video in the nude video on his phone. Anyway, he remained stone face to the entire thing, the entire incident. He's

been charged with witness tampering and bribery. Seventy one year old leader also been accused of offering cash or other benefits to witnesses to undermine a police of political rival, digging into former president's family ties to paramilitary groups. He's denied all charges for the record. Five fifty five coming up with five fifty six. Stick around more to talk about between six five and six thirty when we kick it in with Dave Hatter and Tech Friday. I'll be right back.

address to Congress and a shout out to Doge. Check out the post Office. There's apparently seven billion dollars annually that could be saved seven billion with a bee every year. Uh, some future day. How artificial intelligence is going to change everything?

The book by Mark Beckman, who's our guests at seven point thirty eight oh five with John Gordon, who's a political analyst and hosts of the Truth with John Gordon, a variety of topics talk about with John first time on the program, and then an empower use seminar with Lunn Horobin who joined the program at eight thirty to March eighteenth seminar, How to Transform our prospective Attitude and Behavior five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight

hundred eight two three Talk Time five fifty on AT and T phones. No need to break it down too much, but big news this morning is yesterday evening's Chuck Schumer capitulation saying he's now going to vote to keep the government open. They had no They back into a corner quite literally. And I know, based upon the explanation provided by Congress from MASSI, this continuing Resolution is not really a good thing because it just keeps funding at the

same level it was funded under the Biden administration. So we need to have cuts in government. We're in that de spiral. And again our national interest payments are now up to like one trillion dollars, and the more we have to pay an interest, the less goes to any other program you can think of. But it looks like they're going to vote and to pass the continuing resolutions of massive infighting. I understood that they were actually screaming at each other in a behind the door, closed door

meeting among the senators the other day. But their problem they were concerned, I guess, struggling to fight back a sneeze here. I guess they were worried that if you close the doors of government and leave only essential services open, which Donald Trump gets to decide what's essential and what's not, they might run amok in the absence of all the federal employees would be shut out of their offices. Anyhow, big development on that, So kind of continuing the stack

is stupid. But I appreciate the work that Doge is doing personally because they are it's very revealing, and they this is where the Democrats have find themselves in a big problem because they are forced to defend the indefensible. As I've regularly characterized it. I mean, they scream at Elon Musk and they call them the devil and three forms of evil. They're attacking Tesla dealerships and what has been a well organized campaign. But why are they attacking him?

All the illustrations of fraud, waste, and abuse that he's uncovered, they're defending that, and out there, someone right now is going, yeah, they are defending that. It's because it's been a main source of income funding left winging organizations. Now and unknown to the American taxpayer, their funding sources are drying up,

which good anyway. Over a two day period, According to Department of Government Efficiency in a release yesterday, over two day period, two hundred and thirty nine were described as wasteful contracts with the ceiling value of one point seven billion dollars have been terminated, including a grant intended to teach transgender and queer urban farmers about quote food justice close quote As you sit there and hear that, you

have any concept of what that might mean. First off, I don't know how big specifically that monetary grant is, but how many transgender and queer urban farmers do you think exist in this country? Three is I'm making this stuff up. Apparently, the elimination of these contracts represents the savings of four hundred million dollars to the American taxpayer. Corn of the Doge tweet. Among them included eight point five million dollars consulting contract for quote, fiscal stewarts. Listen,

listen to this psychobabble again. If you have any idea what this means, please let me know. Fiscal stewardship to improve management and program operations in order to drive innovation and improve efficiency and effectiveness of business services, rethink, realign and reskill the workforce, and enhance program delivery through a number of transform transformational initiatives. Close quote. They threw eight

point five million dollars at that psychobabble. Nonsense, And I'm sure someone's probably just sitting at home through all this period of time where all these grants are flowing out, just making stuff up.

transgender boys. I mentioned that one earlier in the week, And how is it that you need a pregnancy program? A pregnancy program is a pregnancy program if you're gonna have sex h and you're gonna get pregnant, meaning you, of course are a double X chromosome and a woman that has the appropriate equipment to get pregnant and just date the baby. You're in the same group of people. You're if you're a transgender boy. It's the same thing.

It's the same learning and education materials. One other contract included tw hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in federal funds for the University of Colorado to study quote the effects of hormones on headaches in transmasculine adolescens. Close quote. That's one of those mangalaike experiments. We got young people and they're developing, and we're going to interfere with their hormone production because somebody told them they were actually a

girl and not a boy. This past Wednesday, Agricultural Secretary Brook Rollins pointed out that three hundred and seventy nine thousand US Department of Agriculture grant in the San Francisco Bay Area to educate queer, trans and bipoc urban farmers. I think this goes back to the one I just mentioned earlier and consumers about food justice and values aligned markets. Again, I don't even know what this stuff means, but you're

working for it. According to Brook Rollins, the Agriculture Secretary, by stopping this wasteful spending here at USDA, we are ending identity politics and we are refocusing our agency on its core mission of supporting American farming, ranching, and forestry. Thank you very much, all five urban farmers that they found that are transgender. Whatever their bubblegut burst, let's se what Steve's got this morning. Steve, thanks for calling the Morning Show. Happy Friday to you.

what would one of their scarecrows look like? I mean, how would they dress it, by the way, but forget about that. I mean, would it be a man scarecrow dressed as a woman. But it doesn't matter. But remember that the Chinese spy balloon that the Biden administration leent just for days across the United States. And then after that they started launching these, you know, from fighter jets. They were shooting these sidewinder missiles at like little kids

party balloons that got away from a birthday party. And these were multi million dollar missiles they were using to and they did like three of these after the fact. So don't don't shoot down the spy balloon, but shoot down the little you know, weather balloons and all the you know, the little ba in your backyard scientists sending up whatever. It's just amazing how they throw money away.

That that's my one comment. My second comment. And I live in Independence, Kentucky, so Thomas Massey is my representative. I have voted for him many times. I'm in and I'll continue and I'm very happy with them. But sometimes you got to play the game. In other words, I'm gonna lump together people that don't seem to be related. But you got Ran Paul, you got Thomas Massey, you got Donald Trump, you got AOC. What are they all? Well,

they're all outsiders, but they're really not. They were outsiders. But once you've held that office and you keep getting elected and re elected, you're really not an outsider anymore. And Massey, you got to play the game a little bit. And I know things worked out and he said they would, and things always worked out. But sometimes it's like you are now like Donald Trump, you're a politician. Now I don't care, you know, I don't care that you are

a business and massy too. You know, you're a politician too. You know, you're you're you know whatever their dart is rubbing off on you, so you're you're Even though you're not one hundred percent born of them, you kind of are one of them.

consistent with it. They're few and far between, but at least they're people of principle. AOC is a woman of principle. I guess I just think her principles are batcrap insane, but she stands by them, you know, And I guess maybe you've got to give her credit for it on some level. But I don't think this cr You make it sound like a good thing. I don't think it's a good idea for what Massy explained. It keeps us at these outrageous spending levels. It increases our defense spending.

We've already got eight and fifty billion dollars annually going to it. It just perpetuates the industrial machine complex and protects a lot of unnecessary military projects that we could cut out and wouldn't have to fund and therefore wouldn't have to increase the military's budget. And we're broke.

or working at the Department of Energy national laboratories. There are seventeen labs that are overseen by that department, and according to Cotton's office, in twenty twenty three alone, around forty thousand foreign scientists access these labs, with nearly eight thousand of them from China and Russia. That means one in five every five foreign scientists entering America's top labs comes from the most dangerous foreign adversaries whose are not

American citizens. They are well potentially Chinese Communist Party members. And you can make book if there's a Chinese from China, not a Chinese born citizen here in America who might hold American values, but if they're from China, they are wed and married to the Chinese Communist Party. They also are stealing our talent too. There's an actual plan from this. China has the thousand talents plan to take our best and brightest, after they've been American educated, and hire them away.

One company one report from twenty twenty one Strider Technologies report found at least one hundred and sixty two scientists who had work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, home to the development of the world's first atomic bomb, were poached by Beijing to work in its military programs over the past several decades. Just scratching the service of the information in the article. But that's frightening that we do allow that, And you kind of wonder whether there's any security clearances

related to that, and I would argue probably not. Six twenty six I fifty five CAREC the talk stations Stick Around Tech Fredai with Dave Hadter coming up after I mentioned Emery Federal Credit Union. A better way to bank learn the benefits of the bank can by going to EMORYFCU dot org, where you can also learn about the scholarship program they're offering. If you're a member with Emery, you're going to college this fall on a two or four year full time you or a family member apply

There are other restrictions like you got to get the application in postmark by March thirty first, But good opportunity to get some money for college, and who couldn't need it for who couldn't use that EMERYFCU dot org an them a list number four zero one zero. It's seven federally insured by NCUA. They are an equal housing.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. You know, they both agencies and in some cases will put out joint advisories and so forth, put out lots of useful information that will help you, as a as a business owner, business executive, elected official, etc. Understand what's really happening on there. So you don't have to take my word for it. You can see what your own government that you're paying for is seeing and telling you is happening. So, with that said,

there's an advisory about ransomware. Apparently there's a ransomware group and they come up with these names. Sometimes the name refers to the ransomware itself, Sometimes it refers to the ransomware groups. Sometimes they're kind of lumped together. But there's this this ghost ransomware I'm just gonna call it ransomware

roaming around out there. It's really nasty. It has and we've talked about this before, this double extortion effect, and so just so everyone understands, ransomware is software that is designed to get installed on as many of your devices as possible and then primarily encrypt the data, scramble the data up so that you can't access the data, which crashes the systems, makes them unusable. And then you know, if you don't have a good backup and a good

restore process, some kind of business continuity. Ideally, you've got a big problem on your hands because the only way you can get your data back and thus your systems operational and your organization functional, is to pay the ransom.

So that's extortion angle number one. They got smart over time and realized that because more and more people are listening to folks like me and the FBI and so forth, people are installing systems and technologies and tools not only to defend themselves against the ransomware, but to be positioned to recover quickly in the event that they get ransomware. So it's harder to get people to pay the ransoms. So they steal your data. So it's a two step attack.

I get the ransomware in your environment somehow, lots of different ways that can happen. I encrypt your data, I steal your data while I'm encrypting it. And then when you say, well, yeah, I'm not going to pay the ransom because I have a backup, that's nice. Then they threaten to, you know, to release extort you by releasing your data.

appropriate forms. How about that. That's a true story, as crazy as that may sound. So it just goes to show you it's almost always about money. You know, they'll take your data too because it has value, but they want to get your money. In most cases, unless it's a nation state actor that's either looking to a steal your trade secrets and military secrets or b create chaos, it's mostly about money. It will steal your money if you make it easy. The FBI is warned about it again.

In this case, they're saying that this particular group, rather than try to use phishing attacks and so forth, are looking for vulnerabilities in your software. It speaks to why it's so incredibly important to make sure that you a have an asset inventory of everything in your network, all the hardware, all the software, all the users, etc. You can't protect things if you don't know you have them,

and then b you have to update the software. And if you have software and devices that can't be updated, you're asking for this kind of attack. The advisory points out several and what we nerds like to call common vulnerability enumerations. These are specific known vulnerabilities, and in most cases they have a fix for them. But you know, businesses don't know it might be difficult to patch the

system because it breaks things. So again, I'm not suggesting it's trivial or easy to deal with this, but here's the thing, Brian. In many of these cases, if you're working with a company like Intrust, you can find that where your vulnerabilities are, understand the risk associated with those vulnerabilities, and then either ignore it because it's not a risk,

or fix it and avoid these kinds of problems. Because when you get a ransomware attack like this, A, depending on what type of ransomware it is and how much ransom they want, you know, even if you pay the ransom, you may not get your data back. B they may have stolen your data. And see in some cases, depending on where this organization that's stealing your corrupting your data

and stealing your money. Is it might be illegal to pay them, right, you may have a new problem with the US federal government because there are certain places you can't send money to. Right. So ideally, yeah, ideally you want to defend against this. It's not possible to block every conceivable way this can happen. So you also then need a good strategy and plan.

eventually they will find you. They will find a flaw, they will exploit it if you're not taking these things seriously and not defending against them.

it's about KCD talk station. Brian Thomas with Tech Friday's Dave Hatter, interest it dot com to prevent problems with your business computer systems, moving over a new Android feature scanning our photos. What's this all about, Dave Hatter?

you never hear them say that. And uh, you know, they're often accused of privacy washing, which is this idea of saying that you're for privacy when you really are doing things against it. And to me, this is just yet another example of that. And I also want to be really clear to folks, all of these big tech companies, in their own way have their own issues they're collecting your data. They're doing a variety of different things with it,

because your data has value. It has value to them for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is to better understand you and sell you more stuff on behalf of themselves and others, and to sell that data. So I'm not saying that no one else out there is doing anything like.

just I want to work back into this. So and I'll post all this in my notes from the show so people can go see this for themselves, because there's a step by step guide. If you have an Android phone, again, I would tell you while Apple is not flawless. They have their problems. You'd be much better off on an Apple device at this point. They're step by step instructions in the ZD in that article how to remove this Android system safety Core, which is what it's called. It's

called and it rolled out an Android nine. So here is a direct quote from the article. As one Google play Store customer said, quote, no consent given, install could not be paused or stopped. I watched it install itself on my phone on January twenty second, twenty twenty five, couldn't pause, canceling, and it did all of that over the mobile network. My setting's never downloaded or installed anything unless some are set to never download anything unless I'm

on Wi Fi. Description tells you nothing. Permissions are for virtually everything. And then the article goes on to say Safety Court doesn't have an icon, doesn't show up on the usual list of running applications. You only find the service by digging deep into the settings. Apps show system processes. So those two things alone, Now again you're taking the

word of someone that posted something online. I'm going to assume the editors and whoever wrote this article researched this sum You know, they did say in their own words, this thing doesn't show up. So you get this installed and the idea. Now, I will admit if you if you understand what they claim it's doing, that it pass potentially some value. But my problem with so many of these things, Brian, is you never have a fully informed

consent of the user. If you, on your own device, as an adult, decide that you want to do X, Y or z, and you under what that means, what it's doing and how that could impact you, and you say, I'm okay with that, Well, I'm okay with that. That's on you. But my issue with so many of these things is, you know, you get this and the premise is that it's going to scan content on your local device. It claims it's not sending it to Google.

it's scanning your content. Now they claim it's not sending that to their servers, and maybe it's not today, but

it could be tomorrow. And at some future point, could you get a knock on your door because of this feature from law enforcement because of some photo that you have, Well maybe, and I know that may sound far fetched to people, but the idea that they would plug this in not really explain what it is, I would argue from what I'm reading here, because you know, I don't have an Android phone to test this, Brian, you know that they're doing it in a surreptitious way where you

don't understand what you're getting, and it's scanning content on your device. You know, at least if it's doing what they truly claim and it's only scanning this stuff locally and not sending it to their servers, that's that's a huge step in the right direction. But the idea that they would do this without telling you, and that you as a user wouldn't understand this. It's just a bridge too far from me.

read the headline, now, keyword Chinese manufacturer, key phrase. Now, let me hit a couple other headlines and then come back to this and maybe we can get to some of these next week, China's old typhoon hackers dwelled in US electric grid for three hundred days. Chinese cyber espionage jumps one hundred and fifty percent, CrowdStrike fines. US congressional panel urges Americans to ditch China made routers, especially TP link, which is the most popular brand of route. I think

think Wi Fi router or home networking device. You see a pattern here yet, Brian, Yes, I do. I thought you might. So if we get back to the article at hand, thow and this backdoor and Bluetooth. So Bluetooth most people probably at least have a basic conception of what it is. It's been around for a long time. It's a wireless technology that allows relatively short term connections between devices. It's super handy because it makes it really

easy to connect devices. So whether it's you know, your phone to an external speaker, or your phone to some kind of ear pods, or your phone to a car, you know, your computer to a speaker, right, anything that supports Bluetooth, usually within a relatively short range of fifty feet or less, that's a you know, it varies widely, but idea is without needing any cables, I can just connect to devices and they can share information. I use it every days. Most of your listeners probably do too,

maybe they don't even realize it. So Bluetooth is almost ubiquitous at this point. It's baked into just about any kind of modern device that might need to connect to something else, which is just about everything at this point. And you know, they point out further in this article that this particular chip, this ESP thirty two Tar Logic Security.

This is a research firm that discover this detected a backdoor in THEESP thirty two microcontroller that enables Wi Fi and Bluetooth connections and is present in millions of mass market Internet of things devices. Internet of things my favorite thing to dump on because this is now again this is just recently discovered. But the vast majority of your so called smart devices, your smart coffee maker, TV refrigerator, whatever is, are privacy and security dumpster fires. They're designed

for speed to market, of use, and market share. They're not designed for your privacy or security. And people are buying these things, they're plugging them in without understanding how they work, how to configure them correctly, how to update the software. We just talked a minute ago about how critical it is to update the software in your devices and how critical that is. They don't know how to do that, and now you find you have a chip.

These researchers found twenty nine undocumented commands, which basically mean that these commands could be exploited and it gets into some real nerdy stuff when you dig down into it, but could be exploited to do things like potentially takeover a device, send data to places that you don't understand. Again, they point out in there, it's not necessarily malicious. It's possible this is code that was left over for some sort of testing or something. But in my mind it

points out two things. We've got to get really serious about these Internet of things devices and what they're capable of, and the fact that they're exploding rapidly and people are creating these possible holes in their personal and their organizational

networks that could be exploited to possibly catastrophic consequences. And then b we need to stop buying these sorts of devices that we're coming from adversarial nations like China, because you know, again, this might not be nefarious, but it could be exploited in the various ways and As we add more and more of these things, Brian, the risk just keeps going up. And I'm constantly telling people and people laugh at me all the time. You know, you're

a smart coffee maker. Do you think mister coffee, first off, why do you need that? Secondarily, do you think mister coffee is putting out updates for the vulnerabilities that will eventually be found in that software two or three years from now? Of course they're not.

until that happens, you are asking to get hacked. I mean, it's just that simple, especially if the device is older, because I can guarantee you they're not updating it, and even if they are, do you know how to do it? Are you sure it's getting done? We need to stop buying this stuff.

always temporary downturns. Always I say that with a bit of hesitation, because you know, someday they if people aren't interested in purchasing our debt anymore, we're going to have a real problem on our hands. And I just sort of see that day coming closer and closer, which is a real concern. So the addressed to Congress, Trum's addressed

to Congress. Let's start there, because there was a lot of good there was some mixed reaction stuff, and of course, as you point out in your analysis of it at tax Payer Protection Lines, some bad stuff, at least from the perception of your group, and I understand why. So let's start with some of the good things. And I want to fast forward, moving away from the World Health Organization though the green news scam, which I agree it

is a scam. Trump's all the above energy policy and just released this week the EPA really making some significant changes in terms of like greenhouse gas emissions that really aren't.

own age. We're not saying not get we're not saying get rid of wind and solar, but if it's part of it, no government subsidies, no taxpayer subsidies. And I think, you know, that's where there's a little bit of disconnect I think with people is that they really hate these new energy things.

you really don't mind your internal combustion engine. I'd stick with that because that's what I do, and that's what I like. I want them to be available and I want to be able to have the choice myself.

about the bureaucracy. It's about allowing companies to do what they want to do and to be able to prosper and to build and to grow because the government is preventing businesses from flourishing, from expanding, and that's what the EPA does is stopping this.

footprint and they're just just amazing. I think this is the revolution and thanks to these giant tech companies embracing it conceptually and actually moving forward with investments in and I think that's going to allow us, the unwashed masses they have access to it too, and it'd be less resistance than nuclear power generally speaking.

that done. So and then DOGE. All the work DOJ is doing just revealing to the American public how wasteful they are with our money, just across the board, whether it's fraud, waste abuse, just stupid programs like transgender urban farmer programs. I mean, give me a break. It's just mind boggling, and that left is being forced to defend the indefensible.

let's do it now. You know, Speaker of Mike Johnson, you know when you pass a continuing resolution, offer some of these spendings.

I'm not going to touch them. So I believe in ferreting out the fraud, waste, and abuse is a great first step, but the programs themselves are going to have to be reorganized.

under control, and there's ways to do it. And I know people don't like to hear the p word privatization, but if I am allowed to invest my own.

But when you're using terriffs to get another country to do something that you wanted to do that it doesn't want to do, then we run into some real problems because then they do reciprocal tariffs and it becomes a downward spiral.

the ultimate answer. We just need better decision making and listen more attention by Congress. Congress passed the Postal Reform Act a couple of years ago, and what they did was they took all of the postal obligations, the healthcare obligations and moved them over to medicare.

He show Some Future Day examines technology, culture in the law, all kinds of really notable guests.

He's also of the best selling comprehensive guide NFTs Digital Artwork Blockchain Technology, a highly a claimed book that is Welcome to the show, Mark Beckman, Let's talk about your book Some Future Day, How Ai Is Going to Change Everything. It's good to have you on the Morning show.

And I think, and I know your book presents I think in an optimistic way, how this is going to benefit, you know, the masses, But I think most people are afraid of it, like I'm going to be out of a job, kind of afraid.

smart and curious and beginners. And for those beginners who are interested in learning how they can enhance their career, make more money, improve their family life, improve their communities, my book brings those beginners into the world of artificial intelligence, and after chapter I actually provide the reader with tools

that they can use today to start implementing. Whether that means they want to learn how to create new artwork or write a song, or how to you know, create more efficiencies at work with emails and writing even business. You know, so many of us struggle. We have a new business idea, but we don't want to write the business plan. I mean now, literally, with these new tools, we can write a business plan in a matter of minutes.

It's incredible. So I lay that all out in my new book some future day, how AI is going to change everything? And you know, obviously it's on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, target all the big booksellers. But it's pretty straightforward, and that's why I'm very optimistic about it. I think that this will have very very positive implications to everybody.

being a lawyer was it required critical thinking analysis. You had to do the work yourself, which helped you improve the case, manage the direction of the arguments and articulating them. It helped the juices in the brain flow, and I

think that benefit of the client. And when you talk about like having it write a business plan, if you got a great idea for a business, isn't part of developing the business itself sitting down and contemplating as you write a business plan to help you steer the direction of the business model. I mean it forces you to think,

I just worry about AI maybe dumbing us down. It doesn't require It takes away the logic and the creative component that your brain works on, and I think that part benefits you and helps you develop as a person.

get that emotional connection. You can't break through the way Bob Dylan does. You can't break through the way Pablo Picasso does. So for sure humans will beat the machines every single time. And I get into like some fun stories. The book isn't just technical with regards to say, use this tool if you want to create a painting, use

this tool if you want to create a photograph. But I get into like these types of stories and issues too, and I get and I go deep into the idea of like the human spirit, our ability as creators to touch emotion is far superior than algebra. And at the end of the day, AI is literally algebra. It's predicting. So I'm with you on that humans are going to beat machines all day long.

within it. So artificial intelligence can go a long way because it can easily digest thousands and thousands of pages of rags and make sure what you're writing now you know it goes, you know, falls in line with what's already on the book. So that is a great advance. It takes out the human error component of that and

a lot of man hours or hours of work. But you know, I, I guess I wonder in terms of other things like, well, maybe human error we have to worry about that, and it takes out that element of human error. But these artificial intelligence platforms are programmed by humans.

So you got that whole garbage in, garbage out kind of concern, and we've seen some of that pop up with artificial intelligence being rolled out, Like, how come there's so much bias in one direction with everything this system turns out like chat GPT for example.

the idea of racism, sexism, and bias. And what you're talking about is the way that these lms, these large language models are trained, and when they're trained effectively, what's happening is for your audience, the tech companies like open Ai and Microsoft that are building the llms, they're taking a corpus of information and data from humanity and feeding them into the computer to give the effectively the intelligence, the artificial intelligence life.

draft certain research papers and research studies. So if you look at, for example, the Nobel Prize winners going through the forties and the fifties, they're typically just representative of one gender, of one skin color, and we're missing out a ton of points of view. There are no women winners in the Noble Award arena in the nineteen fifties because they weren't allowed to participate. So the other issue that's never going to be fixable, it will always be biased.

To your point, is the fact that those points of view are not included from that time period when these llms were trained. So it really is an issue, but it is getting better. So there's the issue of let's say, explicit bias, which I think is what you were focused on, But then there's this implicit bias which is going to stay forever.

tell you the story. We've been fighting like crazy, and I guess the husband has a lack of desire to be cooperative with his wife and go to a marriage counselor. So they negotiated and the deal is, believe it or not, it's nuts, is that chat Ept is the marriage counselor and every time they have an argument, they enter their argument into Chatchypt to find a resolution. And as weird as this sounds, it's true and it's been helping them marriage.

So this is like one of the most bizarre, Like I definitely didn't write about this in the book, Like this wasn't something I expected. But people are becoming creative and now they're using chatch Ept to have a better married life.

different based on different subject matters. And I don't understand how artificial intelligence can can can grasp that human element. You type of question in my wife and I are fighting about this, that doesn't really fully appreciate the whole situation that's going on.

Now they could discover and diagnose rare diseases and old diseases that have even been eliminated from society. So they're doing great with that. But think about this. Imagine if you have a child who is ten years old and she's starting to struggle with some issues. Use artificial intelligence to diagnose what your child's mental illness might be, and then from there you can go to a doctor and

start working with a doctor. Well, the child will also have at you know, I think eventually really soon, actually, like it's on us now, an AI agent which could work with them in so many different ways. And that AI agent that could serve almost as like a technological like robotic type of therapists, will also remember all of

your child's issues. The child might feel freer speaking to something that is just a robot, let's say, versus any human, and that that artificial intelligence will remember all of your child's fears and frailties and issues and problems to take that along with her for her entire life. They're going to see the same thing change as it relates to education tutors, where you know forever the artificial intelligence will

build and work with your child in different ways. From an academic perspective, they'll build on it through years and years and years of fostering a relationship and training itself in a specialized way. I can see that specifate to your child's needs. So again these are like foreign concepts, but there could be benefits. And again my perspective is AI is simply a tool. It's only math, and it should be not It should not be replacing the professionals

and the humans. But if the if the professionals could use them as a tool, it could provide our society with tremendous benefits.

There's a sending your contemplating artificial intelligence, and it just makes me I remember the days when you have to have to dictate a letter and you do it in your little cassette recorder and send it over to your administrative assystem and that will be typed of and then you would do addits to it and send it back into the old days. Things move so much slower, I know, a lot faster in

my lifetime than the generation prior to mine. But I kind of missed those days, and I kind of look look at look at artificial intelligence with a bit of skepticism and concern. And just as I was talking to Mark Beckman and again you can get his book on my blog page, I wrote down trades see's the one thing that artificial intelligence is not going to take away is the need for people who actually can fix things.

As a South Park episode of that, the plumbers and the repair people ended up being the multi millionaires of the world because people didn't know how to fix things anymore. So just the thought, although I would agree that artificial intelligence can help the trades because if you run into a problem, if you're a plumber and you run into a problem, maybe you can enter it into AI and it can offer you a solution on the fly that

won't require you to think about it very much. But the other thing I was thinking about is DEI doctors. Now everybody's concerned about you. You pass somebody through high school and they don't even know how to read, and because of DEI initiatives or whatever, they make it all the way into med school and you have to keep them there because of course DEI requires you to have certain you know, quotas or whatever, even though they may not have a mastery of the difficult realities of what

it is to be a doctor. But if you're relying on artificial intelligence, it can, like he said, as far as you know, keeping records of what your anxieties and concerns and fears are it's going to have a perfect record of all that, well, all that's out there in the ether. You know, your diagnostician only has so much in his or her head. And of course, if you've got people who are not as smart actually practicing medicine,

that puts you at a little lever of concern. But if they have access artificial intelligence, maybe that equals the playing field to a certain degree and you don't have to worry as much. No, I plugged it into AI, and here's what I figured out the problem is, or what it figured out your problem is. I have dear friends and relatives who have struggled with certain medical issues, and they've been through every test known to man mankind,

and they haven't had their problem solved yet. Maybe there's an answer out there in that ether, that giant, massive information that the ones and zeros have accumulated in this artificial intelligence that may ultimately provide the answer. I don't know, just random thoughts and musings, but I still miss the days where we had to put a stamp on a letter and communicate that way back and forth. So fifty five The Return of John Gordon he's been on before,

political analysts. Host of the Truth with John Gordon. We're going our thoughts on what's going on with the news. Then at eight third Leu Anne Horman, she's got a seminar empower You America dot Org Seminar March eighteenth, how to transform our perspectives, attitudes and behaviors. That'll be at eight thirty. Oh, you can stick around.

that drew the ira of Donald Trump. But it done the last passed over in the sentence hands and according to Chucky Schumer, at least before yesterday evening, it was going to be a no over there, which is going to result in a government shutdown. But Chucky, she changed his tune and they're going to capitulate, which is exactly what Massey predicted. I don't know why they were against it anyway, since the funding levels didn't change your take on that one, John.

in my view. So I understand the cinema. Here's the counter. Trump is walking a high wire act and this economy is fragile. And you take two trillion dollars out of the economy overnight and it implodes. We would go into a depression of magnitude that we've never witnessed before. So Trump wants to balance a budget.

us into a recession. So it is going like Trump says, it's going to take some time, but he's committed to the cause. We'll get there. I think we just attributation.

back in the economy, then muel the economy. But right now, the only alternative is take the deficit out, and that's what would have the unintended consequence of some bad economic repercussions.

circumcisions in Jakarta or whatever. I'm convinced that that money never got there, and that didn't accomplish the goal that it purported to accomplish, even if the goal itself was ludicrous. But that money remained in Washington for hobbying dollars that ended up in the pockets and Democrats to get themselves re elected or otherwise directly in their pockets.

bad things are. I mean, pivoting over to Social Security, John, all those social Security numbers for people who are one hundred and fifty plus years old, they're still active and therefore probably being used by some perhaps illegal person in this country with no work permit to actually go work at a job. I mean, even if a check isn't going out to that number, it certainly can be used for nefarious purposes. You know, PPP grants to eleven year olds.

They don't care about normal business like practices in government. They're not required to do anything. But then again they're also not required to be responsible stewards of the American taxpayer dollar.

And apparently it's in his words, they meaning the Republicans are hurting the middle class to give tax breaks to the billionaires. That tired old trope is that all they've got. They have no message.

are in serious trouble. I mean, it is self evident. Just stop the lunacy and start governing to the American people and then all the problems are solved. Will welcome and embrace the Democrats into a free exchange for ideas and stop the gainsmanship because it's killing us.

going to I want to buy our bonds. We aren't going to be able to keep this this house of cards. Even standing to the world's demise.

right here and right now is the midterm election. Since Ronald Reagan, Republicans, well any sitting president has lost control of the Congress in the midterm elections. If we're not focused on that, we're going to wake up in two years really disappointed that we allowed complacency to slip back into US national psyching.

tomorrows Hi seventy one overnight low of fifty four. The rain kicks in late tomorrow afternoon and it lasts overnight, one to two inches of rain possible along with dusty wins. We're going to leave the area Sunday morning and we'll end up having a clear day fifty eight to high on Sunday. It's fifty right now, in time for traffic update.

it would do. That's that throw in artificial intelligence the mathematics behind how we got to the massive hole we've dug ourselves in what it means to pay one trillion dollars and growing annually on debt service, and maybe it'll churn out something how long our country has to go if we continue on this trajectory, I would imagine it will be a short short term. Thanks Jeff, have a

great weekend, appreciate the call. Next up, got empower. Are you similar to talk about with Leuyenn Horribin It's March eighteenth. How to transform our perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors should be interesting. Science of psychological change would deal with that. Next, don't go away.

late could be a heavy rain too. They're expecting one to two inches along with dusty wins fifty four the overnight low with the high of fifty eight on Sunday and the rain leaving us early in the morning fifty degrees. Right now, let's get a traffic update.

by Luann Harbin, my next guest. She is described as one of sixteen hundred ICF Master Coaches, Executive and Leadership Coach, career accelerator, transformational consultant, teacher and facilitator. She's going to help you deal with your own self limiting beliefs with self empowering beliefs. Leuien, it's a pleasure to have you on the morning.

and elsewhere, our relationships with our families. What is it about? What you're teaching this science of psychological change that can help us address these issues.

actually other ways of perceiving it. And if we were to get to the actual root of it, the way we perceive it actually stems from and triggers are brain chemistry. So there's a certain brain chemistry that allows us to see challenge as an opportunity as you know, Okay, I just have to level up here, or it can also have the impression of oh no, this is like daunting to me, This is overwhelming to me. It's like the

situation is bigger than me. That's actually comes from just how we perceive it, which triggers those two different brain chemistries. So what I work with is actually helping people, first of all, understand this is a perspective, how can we see this differently and how can we work with it differently and which can lead to a different experience, which leads to a different outcome.

really where are our strengths. So if we were to perceive a situation as well, if I applied for this particular position, I'm going to be maybe maybe rejected because of my age. But actually what we can look at is, so, really where are my strengths? And really is this the best for me?

my change? So that actually comes from how we how we perceive that situation.

I would immediately say, well, I'm better qualified because simply because of my age. But this requires being objective about the circumstances. But also requires a tremendous amount of introspection, does it not?

have over twenty. Well, there's a reason that we can apply for positions when we have twenty years of experience versus when we have ten or fifteen years of experience. And so it's like really recognizing, like seeing this perspective, is how am I using my strengths versus how am I? Kind of it's almost a little bit like putting the square peg into the round hole a bit.

and that's where the chemistry comes in. Of when we're in that chemistry, we're not actually able to see solutions because it actually shuts down the solution part of the brain, oh to a certain extent, like it limits it. It's not firing the solution part of the brain, which is why when we're in that perspective, everything feels much more anxious,

much more like a struggle. And so so basically there are ways of just converting that and kind of saying, okay, you can actually do simple body posture that can help to change that level of anxiety.

see it differently. We don't see it as a rejection as a loss. We see rejection as like a redirection. It's like, Okay, if this one doesn't work, that that means that's giving me feedback. But there's something else that actually will work better. And there are ways that say, for example, instead of taking you know, the twenty years of experience or twenty five years of experience off my resume, there's people who are looking for you know, they don't want to they don't sort of want to do the

learning curve. They actually want someone who's gone through that learning curve. So it's looking for, you know, who needs to know what I've already learned type of things. Right, So recognizing my value and using my value versus thinking, oh, I have to take my value off because I'm not going to be chosen such a like the ladder one. That's the lemon taking brief right, all right.

kind of firing. And one of them is simply crossing our feet over and crossing our arms over and clasping our hands. The crossover actually changes how things are interacting in our brain. Go talk a little bit more about that. Wow, that's a really simple bosses. A person could do it like, let's say, if they were even in a stressful meeting or something, they could just cross their feet under the table.

They could cross their hands under the table, and if they just allow that to happen, it will actually change some of that interaction.

Rain will move out in the morning fifty one degrees Right now, Let's get a traffic updage.

from Kellogg Avenue. I'm Heather Pasco in fifty five krc the talk station.

he was proposing. So with that in mind, go ahead, Jay, off of your comments.

not go for dinner? If this is a cost out and any huge savings for the people of Ohio, shouldn't we just all be, you know, funneling into the schools anytime we want a snack or a meal or something

like that. But my favorite part was whenever he decided to go down the road of legality with you as a lawyer, and I don't remember the exact thing he was bringing up, but he was talking about the law and the law requires and you very tactfully pointed out that the Supreme Court twenty years ago said we can't fund property tax or fund school tax off the property tax, at which point his response was nervous laughter and absolutely

no response. Want she changed the uh, change the topic and took the took took it in a different direction. So so, people of Cole Rain, would you please do better and not inflect the rest of Ohio with with this jackass is bad ideas and Republican Party Alex Trantafela, would you listen to that and would would you sign up and to support that person with a nickel if they were running for public office, let alone a senator

for crying out loud. Quit spending money. If we want to stop spending money, don't spend money, Republican Party money. And behind Bill Blessing and Cole rain Township, wake up. We don't need any more rhinos.

property tax build that blows through the roof. You're not prepared to deal with that. So great, But as far.

suffer a kind of an amplification or a feedback effect. Yeah, you get even more and more of what you maybe don't want.

I talked to him. Anyhow, I appreciate the call, Todd and your observations about Senator Blessing, and I tend to agree with you along those lines and along some of the lines that Jay pointed out.
