55KRC Friday Show - Tech Friday , Don Tolzmann, Jim Grindle

Carcy Morning Show on Friday. Dave Hatter from Interest It Well give it a advice, trying to keep us out of trouble. If we just took his advice, we'd stay out of trouble. Topics today with Dave Hatter, think twice before you unsubscribe. North Koreans have secured remote jobs in US companies and Google is reading your WhatsApp instant messages. Now why would Google do that? He hates Google. Anyhow,

we'll hear from Dave Tinfoil Hatter at six thirty. Don Hyry Toltman, our resident German expert with the book I Am Innocent. It's a jail cell autobiography of Bruno Richard Haupman. In case you don't remember, he is the German immigrant who was accused, tried, and convicted of kidnapping and murdering Charles Lindbergh Junior. Apparently harr Holtzman edited the book. So we're gonna hear from Don at seven thirty about the book. Another book and in studio retired detective Jim Grendel local

retired detective his book Homicide Investigation. He was a former Springdale Police Department officer and he's written this true crime book about a homicide investigation. Think was a cold case anyway. He's also running another one and that has not yet been released yet, but something tells me we may get few of the details from Jim. At eight oh five

again he will be in studio. You could be in studio sort of metaphorically by calling five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two three talk with pound five fifty on AT and T phones and as always a reminder to head on over to fifty five care sea dot com where you can stream the audio directly from the fifty five care sea dot com web page. But you can also get the iHeartMedia

app so you can load it onto your device. Less of the content from my Heart wherever you have it to be, including of course the podcast. Steve Gooden, So happy I have Steve won the program yesterday talked about Biden's auto pen and the legal ramifications of it. Has determined that it wasn't used appropriately or legal expert Steve Gooden also running as a charter right for say City Council.

Great ideas solid across the board. Good Man, vote for him. Please, Dear God, hasn't gotten his signatures yet, but you only need five hundred by August twenty first, and he's not going to have any problem whatsoever getting the signatures. Congressman Warren Davidson joined the show talk about a variety of different issues, including the spending cuts package that did land in the House yesterday and I got around the stroke

of midnight. It passed nine billion dollars. Oh my god, one half of one percent or something along those lines, some tiny little amount. It just raised so much concern and ire of Democrats. We can't cancel this USA program. It was one of the representatives was screaming about protecting the Sesame Street in Iran program one of the dumber things identified by Doge, and believing that that would counter

the anti US sentiment in Iran. Think about that. You live in a country where the motto basically is death to America and death to Israel, and you think a half hour program funded by the United States is going to change the hearts and minds, sort of like the modern day Voice of America. You don't have to use radio waves and bounce signals off of clouds into areas where they try to block the radio frequencies from coming

into the countries to avoid propaganda. You just put it on TV thanks to USAID presumably multi million, if not billion dollar contribution from you, the American taxpayer. Laughable concept, at least that's how I come down. Anyway. Congress officially sent it up Spending Package deal nine billion dollars in spending cuts, that Trump's going to sign it today. I think today was a deadline. The Recision Package two sixteen to two thirteen. After an intense debate between Republicans and Democrats,

the Republicans have voted against it. Representative Brian fitzpat Pennsylvania Republican and Republican Mike Turner from here in Ohio. No explanation in the reporting I saw by why Mike Turners voted know for it. So today being the deadline, the White House is going to sign it. Otherwise they have to re obligate those funds as they were initially allocated by Congress. Mike Johnson calling it a victory but symbolic. So I'm describing this as a test on efforts to

claw back even more funds. And I got a parallel to draw on that. Yeah, nine billion dollars a very tiny fraction of the seven trillion dollars the federal government shells out every year. So it is symbolic in a way. But I'm glad it was block eight billion dollar block for US Agency for International Development USA one billion block that would have gone to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That's the one that got people all haunted to the collar as if NPR and PBS are going to disappear.

It's a fraction of their overall budget. Most are from contributions, and many are suggesting that given the outrage express that that's going to result in even more money going to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS like all these liberal leftist donors are going to open their pocketbooks up and write checks to keep them alive, because of course you need American funding of broadcasting. It reminds me of

Soviet Union Russia when he really comes down to it. Anyway, this is the first time a Decisions package has been signed into law since nineteen ninety nine. Not done very frequently so, but given the dollar amount nine billion dollars, and all the handwringing and all of the arguments and outrage express mostly from the Democrats, how about four billion dollars slightly less than half of the total amount of

that is in the recision bill. It was that he's going to sign California's high speed rail It was announced earlier this week the Transportation Secretary to Sean Duffy terminated four billion dollars in unspent federal funding going from the Federal Railroad Administration, your taxpayer dollars to this high speed rail project that's gone literally nowhere in California. Four billion dollars. In his statement, Duffy said, this is California's fault. Governor Knwsman,

the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste four years. Federal dollars are not a blank check. They come with a promise to deliver results. The announcement followed months of scrutiny after a comprehensive compliance review, along with feled attempts by California High Speed Rail Authority CHISRA to address the product deficiencies. Duffy's statement, after over a decade of failures, just as management incompetence has proven it cannot build, it's trained to

nowhere on time, We're on budget. It's time for this boondoggle to die. President Trump and I will always fight to ensure your tax dollars only go to projects that accomplish great, big, beautiful things. Fine, how much? How many miles of rail did they build on this? This has been going on for years. Zero. Not a single track has been laid since ground was broken ten years ago. Meanwhile,

costs continued to balloon. President Trump said, you know, to the law abiding, tax paying, hardworking citizens of the United States of America, I'm thrilled amounts that I've officially freed you from funding California's disasterly overpriced I Speed Trained to Nowhere. He went on, miss boondoggle led by Incomona Governor California Gavin new Scum, as he always refers to him as cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars and we have

received nothing in return except cost overrun. The railroad we were promised still does not exist and never will. This project was severely overpriced, overregulated, and never delivered thanks to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Not a single penny and federal dollars will go toward the Newscomb scam. Ever, again, this was an ill conceived and unnecessary project in a total waste of taxpayer money. But no more. There you go.

Representative Kevin Kelley, he's Republican in California. He sponsored legislation to prohibit further federal funding of this boondoggle project, saying California's icepeed rail is the worst public infrastructure disaster in US history. The project that was supposed to be finished, these were the facts really are just mind boggling, as he notes, the project was supposed to be finished five years ago. Remember, ground broke ten years ago and they

haven't laid a single track. Supposed to be finished five years ago at a cost of thirty three billion dollar dollars is now projected to take till the end of this century at a cost of one hundred and thirty billion dollars. I'm grateful that Trump and Secretary Duff you are sparing our taxpayers by cutting off federal funding. The state must now follow suit with this disastrous project down and spend our transportation dollars where they are needed our roads.

This some of course, didn't take this lying down, obviously threatening lawsuits. Release the statement in response to the Trump administration what they determined to call illegally determining federal grant agreements from the funding California's high speed rail and get a load of the statement. Newsom Trump wants to hand China the future and abandon the Central Valley. How does China come into the equation? What does China have anything to do with this boondoggle project? Go ahead, make some

sense of that if you will. If you come over with an answer, please call Newson went on. We won't let him with projects like the Texas High Speed Rail failing to take off. We are miles ahead of others, miles ahead of others. That's actually a funny statement, given it a zero miles of track have been laid and the project has been basically a non starter since it ground brog ten years ago. Think a little bit more

about your words, Gavin. Then he what goes on to say, we're now in the track laying phase and building America's only high speed rail California, putting all options on the table to fight this illegal action. Of course it'll end up in court. Oh the Dot also pointed out that they were going to pursue recovery of previously dispersed funds, claw back what you and I have paid for so far on the project that hasn't or yielded any fruit

at all. In addition to canceling that four billion and unspent funds, Secretary Ducky Duffy directed the Rail Authority to review other obligated and unobligated grants related to this boondoggle project. Back in June, there was a three hundred page report that was released. It looked at the project and found delays, missed deadlines, mismanagement, waste, skyrocketing costs, budget shortfalls, and over

representation of product project ridership. Other key findings in the report revealed that the project faced ongoing and increasing contractor cost overruns due to delays. That's inflation. It's called inflation. You know you're gotta start a project today. If you don't start it until ten years from now, guess what ten years from now, it's going to be more expensive

to do. Duh. Initially it was that it was sold as a two phase what they describe as visionary system connecting LA at a San Francisco and then later north the Sacramento and south to San Diego. Boy, that was a big project. Boy, this is going to be great when it gets done. Hm. That three hundred page report pointed out there's a seven billion dollar funding gap to complete a subset of the first phase in the Central

Valley connecting Merca to Bakersfield. Where how many riders are going to be on that leg if they ever built it, And they have not built even part of it yet.

And since the project's inception, that grand two phase visionary system connecting LA to San Francisco and Sacramentoo south to San Diego, it has been dramatically reduced the project size from an eight hundred mile segment to a one hundred and seventy one mile segment, again at an escalating cost, now up to one hundred and thirty billion dollars and again and not a single track laid. So okay, that's

why I brought it up. Four billion dollars for that one project funding pulled unspent nine billion dollars in the recision package, which I think goes to the point it probably could have been a lot bigger recision package. Keep your popcorn out and wait for Decision Package number two, which is already being discussed five nineteen. Right now, feel free to give me a call if you've got something you want to talk about. I'd love to hear from you. I'll be right back after these words.

Into their AI models going after diversity, equity and inclusion and if is according to people familiar, the order would dictate that artificial intelligence companies that get federal contracts federal money always comes with strings attached, get used to it requires them to be politically neutral and unbiased in their artificial intelligence models, because, as many have noted, quite often

they reflect a very liberal bias. Will Street Journal pointing out some of the bias that's been noted by people over the years, prompt responses that have angered consumers inaccurately depicting historical figures as people of color, Google was Gemini AI should a black join George Washington? And racially diverse Nazis? I think we must observe they weren't. They also come

up with fake information called hallucinations. Dave Hadters brought this up many times, generating wrong answers or well in site like Creatson, for example, in legal situations creating whole cloth built out of nowhere ether case law that some lawyers have been dumb enough to actually incorporate into the briefs before the court. Listen, my lawyer friends all know this. If you saw a citation, you can go and look up the citation and see if it's really a genuine case,

think Lexus Nexus or West Law. That's what it's for. Nobody keeps hard copies of books around anymore. It's all been boiled down and put in ones and zeros, so anyway makes up stuff. So this is an effort to stop that from happening. And it's presumed that the artificial intelligence companies out there, all vying for contracts with the federal government may follow and this executive order and create perhaps what we could all argue is better artificial intelligence

models that are in fact free from bias. Five twenty six. Right now, fifty five KRC detalk stations stick around. I've got local stories coming up. Alternatively, you know, I prefer phone calls, so feel free to call.

overnight loss seventy two, very human and smody. Chances of storms Sunday, very humlett, Yes, eight chances of storms and down fours eighty seven to nigh on Sunday seventy three. Right now, time for twelve not traffic, that's the next segment. Gotta wait till five forty for that, Brian, don't have to wait to go to the phones as is typically traditioned. Tom Happy Friday, Welcome in the morning, show my friend.

to you? And I, oh, it's happening to an immigrant. Oh no, it's terrible. These people are absolutely ridiculous. They make no sense. And then you got the senator I forget where she's from, just recently was talking about how you know, the Democrats we need to we need to understand, we need to know where these people are coming from. Well, that's exactly what Republicans have been saying. And in the whole phase, he's like, oh, well, immigrants or Republicans are foment to immigrant hate.

are changing over the local stories. Internal email WCPO looked into this, showing details of the Sinsini Police Department's plan to increase its presence and over the Rhine because of the rise and violent crime. Email apparently explains a new detail requiring offers to be officers to be visible on Vine and Main Streets from Central Parkway to Liberty Street

between noon and midnight. And apparently if the department doesn't have enough volunteers to do this patrol, the email says officers will be mandated, that's the word in the email, to fill the shifts that on top of the regular shifts. FOP president Ken Kober, talking to WCPO about this, said officers are stretched too thin right now, and adding another eight hours of walking outside their schedule just is probably not going to fly. He said, We're going past this

is no longer a volunteer. We're going to force you to do this if you don't sign up and work it, and that's where officers are saying enough is enough. He said. He also questioned the need in that particular area, noting that's not really where the bulk of the crime is being committed. And that's kind of what I was scratching my head over, especially given that the shift is noon

to midnight. Joe, isn't it your recollection that most of the crimes and the murders and the assaults happen right around two thirty in the morning or three o'clock in the morning. Yeah, I mean, that's what I've been reading for the past what months, not all of it, I'll acknowledge. CBO check the data showed that there have been four homicides in Over the Rhine this year, one in that patrol area, twenty nine aggravated assaults in all of Over the Rhine, just a handful of them in the area

of the patrol. So go ahead and scratch your head over that one. Data shows most violent crime and over the Rhine is happening north of Liberty Street, so outside of the new patrol area. Cober says he's wondering if three CDC is the one behind the effort in an effort to protect his investments and over the Rhine organization owns or manages much of the property in the designated area. When you call a shift a detail, can Cober, talking with Tanya Orourke at CBO, said that means a third

party like three CDC is footing the bill. He said, am I nearly twenty five years here, I have never heard of an instance where officers are forced to work for a private company. So CPO pivoted over to three CDC's president, who said he doesn't pay for the details, but he does pay for details rather, but he's not paying for this one. Cobra estimates that it's going to

cost about sixty thousand dollars a month. CPO talked tried to get police chief and the city manager's office to comment on it, but they did not receive a response by the time the story was reported. H five thirty six, Right now fifty five K see the talk station dack oh stupid coming up or you can call either way you go be right back fifty five. The talk station must be five forty on a Friday, because of course, and Joe Strecker is your executive ducer and he's a

Primis fan. That's what you get in a very happy Friday. Wo segue into the stacking stupid. And it's Friday, so we got naked people in the stacking stupid. We'll start with a naked people in a stolen RV. Not Florida, West Virginia, where a couple was naked and having sex in a stolen RV. Cops pulled a moving vehicle over after a spot in the driver being straddled by his intoxicated female passenger. During the traffic stop in Bluefield, Appalachian

Mountain City. Patrolman approach the RV found Shannon Bryant, thirty five, now sitting behind the wheel. Passerby yelled out that the occupants had switched seats before I made contact with them, stated Officer Ham, who added that Matthew McDonald forty eight, was the passion in the passenger seat. I inquired about their actions while the vehicle is in motion, Yes, said to it, which Miss Brian candidly responded, we were f wording.

and broken glass pipe in the area. I think I read this one earlier in the week. Bryan told police that McDonald had thrown drugs from the vehicle during the traffic stop. Vehicle check revealed the RV had been reported stolen from Princeton, a nearby city. The arrest of for indecent exposure, drug possession, DUI have possession of a stolen vehicle. Both have pleaded not guilty. Have extensive criminal records that

have not been able to post bond. Okay, Florida. You knew Florida was going to show up here at always is in the news in the stack of stupid. We got a Florida man behind bars on a felony charge for a pair of Walmart sex toy thefts. What forty year old Jeffrey LaForge arrested Friday in a pair of theft counts, which he's being held in lieu of a ten thousand dollars bond. Wow, obviously we're not in California

on this one. Two separate occasions, police charged that he swiped a variety of adult toys from Walmart in South Pasadena and Penelas County. SETI. Store security cameras reported Lafarge removing items from their packaging and then leaving the Walmart without paying for them. The two hundred and eighty dollars worth of good stolen included a thirty one dollars and forty four cent quote Tush toys close quote Hold on, let me get a reading from Jim. You would advise against saying, okay, I'm not.

aids that he stole. There's quite a few of them, say. It's not clear whether the sex toys were in and for personal use or resale, though the lack of packaging might cause a perspective buyer concern that the items were used. Yes, he took them out of their packages before walking out with him gross. This merchandise value less than thousand dollars of sex toy thefts would normally be charged of misdemeanor. However, due to his history of multiple theft convictions, the accounts

have been enhanced to felonies. What mean rather descriptive names for these toys too. I might point out five forty five. If if five cares of the talk station more stupid coming up, feel free to stick around.

a district court hearing. He was locked up on a fifteen thousand dollars bail after his mail eleventh rest at the Lowe's outlet in Slidel released from custody after his July fourteenth guilty plea. As detailed in the police department report, cops responded to the home improvement store upon receiving a nine to one one call from a store manager about, in quotes, a mail subject naked inside a shed for

sale at the Loewe's parking Lot phrasing. During a canvas of this various storage sheds located in the Loew's parking lot, Officer Brian LeBlanc discovered Calivius Quote lying in a soupine position on the floor of the shed beneath the window. Pants and underwear were at his ankles, and he was using his left hand to touch his exposed private parts.

Why are you doing that? Le Blank noted that there was an open tube of vaciline petroleum jelly to the immediate left of Calebas's person that's in the rest report. In the report, it also says he was watching an unknown video on his cellular phone and he had headphones in his ears. After being handcuffed and his riots, he advised that he had been well pleasuring himself. Not his words. He was a little bit more graphic inside the enclosure, one of multiple sheds Lows had on display for sale

while customers are free to browse the shed. That was noted in the arrest report. He had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the shed. Wow, Yeah, I don't know what the clean up situation involved, Joe. There was no

comment on that from the Lows personnel. Forty six year old man taking it into custody after an alleged assault and failed to escape attempt were in Sumter Counting, South Carolina for this one, where deputies say that Kelly Jack Brielan was found naked in a tree after reportedly assaulting someone at a home ten minutes after two am Wednesday. Deputies responded to the residents after reports of an assault. Witnesses say he became violent and assaulted a before leaving

the house completely naked. After a short search, deputies located him in the aforementioned tree. Rested charge with a second degree assault and battery, as well as third degree domestic violence. Taken to the Sheriff's office detention center, being held on a twenty five thousand dollars bond. Obviously not in Hamilton County. Asheville, North Carolina, man arrested for running naked around the West Ashville neighborhood and attempting to break into at least one

home has pleaded guilty. Why are you doing that? Let's find out maybe. Back in August, the twenty three officers with the Ashville Police Department dispatched at Madeleine Avenue. Homeowners reported hearing a man yelling in their next door neighbors

fenced in backyard. They said that after directing two young children inside their home, the residents said the naked man jumped over the fence into their yard and attempted the ender the side door of the house, but arrival police later found the naked guy, identified as Ronald Jamal Billings, inside a home that was under construction Billings originally charged with felony indecent exposure, misdemeanor decent exposure, felony breaking, rendering

with intent to terrorize, misdemeanor breaking and entering injury to personal property, first degree trespassing, and resisting slash delay, slash obstructing. In the plea deal, however, he pleaded guilty of the misdemeanor indecent exposure and resisting public off a public officer, sentenced to forty five days served. Notably a neck tattoo guy. And finally, we'll end in Englewood, Florida, where a man completely naked arrested Saturday in Englewood after being accused of

charging at a deputy and threatening others. Charlotte County Sheriff's Office said they responded to the area of Placida Road on reports of a naked guy in public, yelling profanities and threatening to harm. A woman who happened to be carrying a baby. Showed up found the forty year old Justin Grover Miller, completely naked and yelling at Unknone. Suspects refused to acknowledge the deputies adhere to their command. Ignoring deputies, he continued to walk through a public park towards Santa

Caslor Drive. Miller then ran towards a Dollar General in the area. When he observed deputies approaching. They followed him into the store and tased him twice after he failed to follow verbal commands. He did manage to escape and began running through the Dollar General parking lot, exposing himselself completely to other patrons, as well as children in the area. That time, Miller charged directly toward the deputies on the

scene and forcibly ran through the officer. He was ultimately taken into custody for resisting with violence, batteran law enforcement officer, and exposure of sexual organs to the public. Five fifteen fifty five k see de talk station. All I got that out of our system. It's going to be a tech Friday with Dave pat at six thirty. More to talk about between now and then Donald Trump threatening to

sue the Wall Street Journal of All Papers. We'll get to that and other stories if you can stick around Today's top stories at the top of the hour.

Think twice before you unsubscribe. Topic one, Topic two. North Koreans have secured remote jobs in United States companies work from home, even if you're halfway around the world. Google is reading your WhatsApp instant messages as well. Fast forward to seven thirty with the return of our resident German expert Don Heinrich Toltzman. A new book is out. I

Am Innocent. He is the editor of the book. It's an autobiography of Bruno Richard Hautman, who is the journey An immigrant who was accused, tried, and convicted of kidnapping and murdering Charles Lindberg Junior, the baby. You may remember that from your history books. In studio, retired detective Jim Grindall He'll joined the program at eight o five to talk about his new book, Homicide Investigation. He spent a whole career at the spring Down Police Department, and he's

written a book about one of his experiences there. He's also writing another true crime book that has not yet been released, but I'm sure that Jim will be happy to give us some of the details about that in the eight o'clock hour. And again you can, of course feel free to call in a sort of a strange twist. And I still haven't quite made heads or tail out of this. Donald Trump called to release, in his words,

all pertinent grand jury testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein. This after this high profile craziness that's been going on, of course, the reversal of the promise that we were going to get the documents and wait a minute, there's nothing here. There is no file, there is no list, We've got nothing. And that sounds kind of strange coming from the Trump administration. Who's many of the Trump supporters are claiming all kinds of conspiracy theories or at least asking for the answer

to many questions that are looming out there. Like I said yesterday, based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein. I've asked Atorney General Pan Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony, subject to court approval. This scam all caps perpetrated by Democrats should end right now, Bondi in her response, President Trump, we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.

so he says he's prepared a lawsuit against Wall Street Journal. Quote. The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch personally were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a fake and if they printed, they will be sued. Mister Murdock stated that he would take care of it, but obviously did not have the power to do so. The editor

of Wall Street Journal. Emma Tucker was told directly by Carolyn Levitt and by President Trump that the letter was a fake, but Emma Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead, they're going with false, malicious and defamatory story. Anyway, press has to learn to be truthful and not rely on sources that probably don't even exist. Also called the Wall

Street Journal a disgusting and filthy rag. If there were any truth to all at all on the Epstein hoax, as it pertains the President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comy Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other radical left lunatics years ago. Now that I think that is

a valid point. I mean they actually went out of a limb and made stuff up whole cloth about Trump and then went immediately to the press with for your quote unquote leaks from inside confidential sources or well, here's the Steele dossier, which ultimately was leaked and it was fake. So there is a precedent for Donald Trump calling this card a fake, and that's what the Wall Street Journal

reported on. Now, I didn't see a photograph or a shot of the card, but apparently there's an outline he made it a sort of a not an obscene gesture, but it was an outline of a naked woman. And it's a happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret was scrawled down there. The letter bears Trump's name, several typewritten texts framed by the outline of a naked woman. Trump said, that isn't anything he would ever say, and he has never drawn a picture of a naked woman ever.

So you have a precedent for the Democrats lying and making things up. You have Donald Trump reversing on the release of the Epstein documents. Now he's calling for the

release of the grand jury testimony. That's, I guess, part of the total package of information, which is does anybody else perceive that as a one hundred and eighty degree shift from where he was just the other day calling this all nonsense and made up and telling his supporters to quit, just drop the whole thing, generally speaking, because there's nothing there.

this story is complete and other bs. He didn't say bs he wrote out the whole word. The Wall Street Journal should be a shamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? He asked, Would you be shocked to learn that they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump? Well, I'm sure there are people who believe it does sound like Donald Trump. There's a lot of people out there that hate scuts and believe literally anything out there. So

we're kind of left to wonder. And in the final analysis, I just say, gal, find you're gonna release the grandjury testimone really everything else that is unless and no one has answered this question, are they're currently ongoing investigations into people who hung out with Epstein that molested young women

broke the law in doing so. If those investigations are going on, that would provide the absolute prevention of the release of the document to the extents it relates to the prosecution or the investigations of potential criminal activity, that'd be a legitimate reason not to bring it out. You could say that out loud. I know the Department of Justice doesn't comment on ongoing investigations, but under the circumstances, it seems like an appropriate time to say, no, we

have some pending criminal investigations. We're not going to daim names that are ongoing. But the documents in these so called Epstein files that aren't released do relate to those investigations, and as a consequence, can't be released because they might interfere with the investigation. That's a perfectly legitimate claim to assert, but it hasn't been asserted, and that's one of the

looming questions many people have out there. Listen, this guy was involved, and everyone knows it knows, notably because he was convicted of it, but continue to be involved with fooling around with underage women, and he hung out with a lot of people, and a lot of them. There's victims list. There's people who've come forward and said they were victims of Epstein molesting them and victims of others molesting them. Members of the royal family included, right, are

they going to be brought to justice? Just asking, I'd like to think so, or I'd like to get the definitive answer that no, all of this was blown out of proportion. But at least in so far as Trump is concerned. He did make a great point, and that is, if this actually exist, if this was a real thing, this letter that he allegedly penned him to Jeffrey Epstein, then yes, it certainly would have been brought up by

the Left. I can't imagine them passing on an opportunity if it's a genuine document, unlike the Steele dossier, which they they held up and waved around and claimed as

genuine for years. That was whole cloth made up. But if his card was actually in there, and it actually was done by Donald Trump, they certainly would have brought it up, unless, of course, the other conspiracy theory is that no, they couldn't bring it up because filled within the among the Epstein documents, let's just call him a bunch of banker's box lit of documents, there's damning evidence against Democrats, in which case it would have been worth

their time to bring up that one document, because then we'd all be clamoring and calling for more documents to be released, which might implicate Democrats. But see, all this comes about because we can't see them.

Although apparently adults can continue to be eligible for the treatments, and miners who are already receiving these so called gender related gender affirming care treatments will continue to get them. HMM Department of Justices earlier this month announced that it issued more than twenty subpoenas the doctors and clinics involved

in performing these procedures. New York Presbyterian also removed and changing even its online verbage of the COMPASS program, described previously as a safe space for youth navigating their gender experience and offering puberty suppression and gender affirming hormone treatment.

Now they described the program as a supportive space for youth and gender Any references to gender affirming care have been taken off New York Presbyterian's website, and their spokesperson said, we continue to work through this evolving situation to comply with applicable state and federal laws and rags as always our priorities to serve all of our patients in compassionate

and responsible way. Stanford Medicine halted their quote gender affirming surgeries, according to their statement, after careful review of the latest

actions and directives from the federal government. Donald Trump and following consultations with clinical leadership, including our multidisciplinary LGBTQ plus program and its providers, Stanford paused providing gender related surgical procedures as part of our comprehensive range of medical services for LGBTQ plus patients and under the age of nineteen, effective June second of this year. Cleveland Clinic also said it does not provide gender firming treatments to patients of

the age of nineteen. So it's a growing trend, folks, And this is, of course a trend that's been growing for a long time. Over in Europe. Quite a few countries have banned this. It's outright malpractice. They determined it doesn't do any good for these In fact, researchers determined that the rate of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders were in the studies words, significantly higher among those with gender dysphoria who underwent surgery, which is a

way of saying the surgery actually exacerbates the problem. And that seems totally logical and reasonable to me. Now you're suffering from gender dicephia, you really really really want to be a woman. If you're a guy or of course a guy, if you're a woman, surgery is not going to accomplish that. It's recreating or creating from whole cloth

genitals that didn't previously exist. And to the extent anyone has an expectation that they are going to perform and function the way that biological men and women's genitals function is completely duped. Go ahead and read into that. The complications associated with sewing something on or turning something inside out are unbelievable, and yeah, I can imagine that might cause you the suicidal ideation, significant anxiety, and also compound any substance use disorders that you might have if you

go through and get the surgery. Wait a second, did not accomplish what I really truly wanted it to accomplish, which is functionality. Six twenty five the five k se detalk station. Away from that, we'll get the Tech Friday coming up next. An apologies to segue from that to Gate of Heaven Cemetery. My friends over at Gate of Heaven. You know, this is just timing is everything, and maybe slightly poor timing, but Gate of Heaven Cemetery is truly a beautiful and tranquil place, and it's kind of the

Can be boofed. Right, it's bogus, it's not legitimate. And then you know, I think everyone knows what fishing is, whether it's an email or a text or phone call or whatever. And there are some slight distinction in the specific technical names, but you know, phishing, I'm going to send stuff out hopefully find someone who'll bite on it if you uses spoofing. And in this case, what they're doing is, at best you get an email or some message that says, hey, if you don't want this anymore,

unsubscribed it best. It's not really yeah, it's not really nefarious. It's just a way for them to know you're there.

obviously isn't working very good. As I'm sure everyone could agree, you know, requires you know certain things of legitimate companies, so you know, you can legitimately unsubscribe from some mail list if you're dealing with a legitimate company. But to your point, companies don't want you to unsubscribe. They often make it tricky, and the real bottom line is by using the unsubscribed feature of something that you are not unless you have like a ninety nine percent conference level.

It's real. By using that unsubscribed link. Again, at best, you've just told someone there is a warm body here, and at worst it might be a thinly veiled attempt to get you to do some of the farious or something that will lead to the farious activity in your name. So my advice would be, since it's hard to tell

when the spooky keeps improving, don't bother unsubscribing. Simply if you wonder if truly unsubscribe, you go to the organization that's sending you the emails, go to their website, unsubscribe for whatever you need to do from their website, or simply just start blocking the mails, right, Just tell it, Tell your mail client this is spam, send it to junk block it, and then you won't see them anymore.

So sadly, Brian, this is just another example of how creative these people are and how they will leverage legitimate concepts to defraud you in some way.

So I'm glad you guys picked this story. And then yeah, take it breath, move cautiously. Understand that much of what you're getting, maybe most of it some people, it's some kind of scam.

US companies, frightenings that may be. It made me think about the most recent legislation in the budget, which is going to ban pornography without proper ID checks here in the state of Ohio, yep. And one of the things that immediately came to my mind, well, if you have a VPN, they don't even know you're in the state of Ohio, you could be literally appear as if you're in Norway or something or some other state that doesn't

have that kind of law. But in the article they said they were going to address that through something called geo fencing. Can you explain that, because when I'm looking at North Koreans working at companies in the United States, it seems to me that the companies could figure out that these people are operating out of North Korea, unless, of course they're using a VPN. So what's the story on this? Can you help me out?

In fact, people, many people, I'm sure, and you're hosting audience of experienced thats at work where let's say they travel, and the company has some sort of essentially geo fencing set up so that if you're coming from an ip out of a certain range. This is not a perfect anology, but it's closed. You might get blocked and you may have to call and say, hey, I'm legitimately traveling, you know,

turn me on. So to your point though, with a VPN, yes, if I you know, I use Proton VPN for my personal stuff, you know, I can find up my Proton VPN client and it can look like I'm coming out of let's say Finland this morning and Denmark later today. So yeah, it's you know, if you know what you're doing, you can essentially hide behind a VPN and make you make it appear that you are somewhere you're not. And

with these North Korean hackers. So what they're doing, and unfortunately there are family people in the United States who are being paid paid to facilitate this, and several have been arrested. So someone in the US essentially sets up a server or laptop farm, call it whatever you want. So the North Korean hacker basically sets up a bogus profile.

This is really a form of spooping. Again, pretends to be a legitimate employee, gets hired by a US company, and despite the fact that they're essentially North Korean assets working in North Korea, they are remoting and they're connecting to a quote laptop or server here in the United States.

you know. The story goes on to say, you know data has been stolen, sensitives, information has been stolen, Cryptocurrency has been stolen by these people. Again, they're pretending to be let's say, a legitimate programmer.

You think I'm working for you while I'm figuring out how to steal your stuff, and I appear to be doing it as a person onshore in the US because we have what I would call traders facilitating this type of activity for you know, foreign adversary. Sometimes obviously it's just financial, but you know when you have companies like North Korea and China doing this sort of thing, you know it's clearly beyond I just want to steal this

company's money. They want trade secrets, they want military secrets, you know, or whatever else it is they're looking for, and this is a nefarious yet smart way to get at it.

fake profiles they set up. You know, if you are truly connected to a server in Cincinnati, let's say, and you know going to work for a Cincinnati based company, it's going to be hard for you to know that if you don't cat you know, once they're in, until they trip some sort of alarm or something. This this speaks to something that most companies are not willing to spend money on, and that would be things like insider threat protection, data loss protection. You know, there are ways

to set up trip wires in your company. If you have your permission set up right, you're not going to give people access to stuff they shouldn't have access to. You know, there's things called honeypots, where again, once someone starts nosing around too much, it starts to set off alarms. But the big thing is Brian making people aware that this is even a thing, so that ideally you would not hire these people in the first place. And all this stuff I just talked about, like data loss prevention,

well it takes work. You got to you got to tag data and say this is sensitive. And if someone tries to copy this file or copy files from this solder,

you know someone should look into that. So there are technological solutions that can help you discover this once it starts, but they're expensive, they take work, and you know, consequently, a lot of organizations, unless there's some sort of high level government requirement or something, won't spend money on that because they don't see the value in it, which I get. So this helps point out why there might be value in it. And again.

use this new feature you've rolled out. Sounds great, I'm going to turn it on. They will just roll things out. Apparently this Jem and I started rolling out on July seventh to people's Android phones, and you know it's turned on by default. Now apparently they send out an email, but you've got to open that email. You got to read it. You know you can even understand what it's telling you. Probably not in most cases. And again it's the frustrating thing for me is they're just doing this

and then you have to opt out of it. Now, the good news is apparently you can opt out of it. And as you know, Brian, I don't have personal experience with this because I don't use an Android phone, nor do I use WhatsApp. But let me try to make a put a finer point on this. So you have an app from Meta right, what's app, which is theoretically a secure end to end messaging app, and one of the reasons you would use it is because it supports end encryption. You have the WhatsApp app, I have the

WhatsApp app. You and I can send encrypted messages to one another and unless someone can unlock your phone or my phone, no one can read those messages because they're encrypted in the WhatsApp app and send to you right, right, So this whole Gemini thing, and I understand how if you want to assume good intentions, it could be beneficial. You know, the Gemini app hits it's their AI. Now you can talk to the phone. Hey, I want to send to what's app message to Brian Thomas, and here's

what I want to say. And ideally it would open the WhatsApp app, plug that in and send it on my behalf without meaning you need to open the app and type it in manually. Right, that's the theory. The problem though with that is I want to send a secure message to you. You know, even the way the end encryption works, it should not be possible even for

Meta to read those messages exactly. Okay, But now that I am talking to the Gemini app on my phone and it's composing this message on my behalf, Google potentially has access to that message. Well, of course the content is accessible with Gemini before it's encrypted by WhatsApp. Does that make sense?

and they've essentially opted you into it from everything I've read. Now, again, I don't use any I don't use anything for meta if I can help, but I don't use anything from Google. I like it, So this isn't a problem for me and I have not experienced in firsthand. But if you're an Android user, this stuff is rolling out and you need to understand that by using it, you are potentially exposing information that you might not understand as beings. So my advice, and apparently you still can go in and

turn this off. I would argue dark patterns are at work because I read all the you know how to do it and solve the screenshots. Apparently there's multiple places you got to go. You know, you could just disable to or delete the Gemini app. That would be my recommendation to you. However, you know, you've got to decide for yourself or or better yet, get off their platform

and find a more privacy friendly option like Apple. I'm not saying Apple doesn't have its problems, Brian, but in general, the whole business model is different and they are less incentivized to want to capture your data and do these sorts of things. So again, I want to be clear and every day that I'm not an Apple fanboy. I'm not telling you they're you know, spotless and without blame, right, just telling you that in general they are more privacy

friendly than most of their competition. So I'm you know, I'm not going to use an Android phone for the sort of reasons we just described here.

of usability, you know, ease of access versus privacy. So I am I'm at but yeah, it's you're using an Android phone. I encourage you to look into this and strongly considered disabling this Gemini feature or removing it entirely because you're potential going to exposed things you would not want to expose.

this weekend. I thine you stick around all morning, listen to the fifty five cars every morning show. Feel free to call them and to get to Bobby's call here in a moment five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred eight two three talk found five fifty on AT and T phones. You're just tuning in now you didn't get to hear tech Friday's Dave Hatter always a very valuable informative segment. You can podcast that over at fifty five kre se dot com and get your iHeart

media while are there. Coming up bottom of this hour are German. I call him our resident German expert. He is familiar with all things German, including Bruno Richard Houtman. It's don Heinrich Toltzman at the bottom of the hour about the book I Am Innocent, which is described as a jail cell i autobiography of Bruno Houtman, who's the guy who was tried, convicted, and jailed from murdering Charles

Lindbergh Junior the Lindberg Baby in studio. Retired detective Jim Grendel, who was with the Springdale Police Department before a long time before retiring, he's written a book called Homicide Investigation,

The Interview, True Crime, Robbery, homicide book. It's a two hour interview unedited and he just explains basically, it's a homicide investigation and he interviewed the obviously the suspect, and it's a really interesting analysis of how you go about, well, I suppose, getting people to confess or otherwise provide information relative to crimes. He'll be in studio at eight oho five to talk about that. In the meantime, before I moved go on to something else and not quite sure

which direction I'm gonna go. I'm gonna let Bobby decide that. Bobby, thanks for calling this morning, and Happy Friday to you.

In other words, they make money off providing pornography. Then you must provide age verification in the form of submitting your driver's license or other government issued identification to prove that you're over the eight of eighteen. And they say that that you can't work and work around at using a VPN, although I'm still not convinced that it will work because the VPN is going to make you look like you're someplace else, not in the state of Ohio.

But if you're just logging in on your cell phone, you're logging in your computer and you go to a porn site, that site is now going to be obligated to ask you for age verification. Now, what has been the reaction in other states? This is what we're like the twentieth state to pass the law along these lines other states, the sites just decide they're not going to do business in the state, so rather than collect the data, then they just say, well, we just want to offer

our service in now Ohio. I suppose law kicks in I believe at the end of September, So no porns for you in Ohio, unless you're willing to give your information to a third party vendor, which oh yeah.

has just got me baffled, befuddled, bewildered. So I can come over with the more alliterative words to use and tack onto that help me out. But okay, everybody's been clamoring for information about Epstein for a long time. Okay, the whole idea that he killed himself, Yeah, Epstein, it was a joke almost people just like nobody believed that. And so that was a conspiracy theory. It was fueled online. And I know, and I never had any idea one way or another. It didn't really care ultimately, I mean,

I guess part of me was glad he's dead. Say the taxpayers some trial money. But so you had that, you have these all these celebrities, well known folks. There are millions of photographs out there with all these famous people with Epstein. We've got all kinds a flight record showing that Epstein flew people around in his private jet, most notably to the Lolita Island, where I guess women were molested and women under age were molested. Criminal activity.

Lots of discussion about that over the many years that this has been the subject matter. Of course, he was convicted of molesting children and was a known pedophile from back in the late two thousands, and there's a picture of him with Donald Trump and a lot of people

suggesting he was friends with Donald Trump. And now the Wall Street Journal publishing an article about this letter or this this birthday card that Donald Trump allegedly created back in two thousand and three with a sketch of a nude woman in some random comment that they attributed to Trump. Trump came out yesterday said he's going to sue the Wall Street Journal because he told him it was not him,

and he didn't write that. It isn't something he would say, and he's never drawn pictures of naked women before, but there it is. Some are saying that the Democrats created that whole cloth, so I don't know, I haven't seen it. Donald Trump now saying that he is planning on having the grand jury testimony released. He's instructed that. So rewind a while back. Trump's in favor of releasing the Epstein

documents he said he had on the campaign trail. Now the Department of Justice comes out and says, there's nothing to release. There is no list. The only information in there is stuff that we can't have anyway because it constitutes childborn. We don't want to release victims' names because it might, you know, impact their privacy. Maybe there's ongoing investigations that will be a legitimate reason to withhold the documents.

But no one said that. But considering the length of time we've been talking about this, now you've got the Trump administration sort of doing a one eighty away from releasing the information, at least up until yesterday when he talked about releasing the grand jury testimony. But really hard rejection of those out there clamoring to get these documents. I mean, he's he was angry about it, but what of the Biden administration? And it was interesting exchange yesterday

between Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin and Joe Scarborough. Of all people leftist, he is MSNBC's Mourning Joe Joe Scarborough. Talking about this situation, Scarborough asked if the saga involving Epstein was a crisis the Biden administration did not release records when it was in power, Epstein was and here here's what Raskin had to say that leads into a really good sort of cross examination by Joe Scarborough. He said Epstein was able to use all his powerful connections, including

who was then his best friend, Donald Trump. Now you know that's a lie. Donald Trump knew the guy and did, I guess have some interactions with Epstein, but he cut that off after a failed real estate transaction. He didn't hang out with the guy or didn't do anything with him. And that was prior to Epstein being convicted for molesting children. So that's kind of well documented. So kind of ignore the overstatement from Raskin along those lines. And look, he

went on, why is this important? Because the sexual abuse of young people and children is a crisis throughout our society. There is, of course, the church scandal or many church scandals. There's what happened in Michigan State. There's what happened to Ohio state. That's when Scarborough interjected, But Congressman, you could have gotten that from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five, when Democrats controlled the Department of Justice, it was a crisis.

Then it's a crisis. Now, why didn't Democrats call for it from twenty one to twenty five? Legitimate question, because they are right now the Democrats driving the call to have these documents released. It's almost as if this is another one of those scenarios where if Trump wants something, they're gonna say no, you can't have it. In this particular case, Trump is now saying no, you can't have it. So the Democrats natural knee jerk reaction is to jump up and say no, we want it. Now we're asking

has this weird reply? Obviously backed in a corner, and he said, so, I mean, you'd if you go back and look specifically a particular prosecutorial decisions and what was taking place in terms of other cases. So I don't know. We could try to reconstruct that record. But the point is is that Donald Trump is the one who has led the crusade to say that Epstein, who was his very close friend, over statement and there's all kinds of pictures of them, and so that Epstein was at the

center of this broad conspiracy. He is now in a position to do exactly what he demand demanded, which is to release all the files. And so why is that not happening? That's the question I can't answer for Merk Garland or anybody else in the Department of Justice, but I will tell you that there is a bipartisan consensus in the Judiciary Committee right now that all these records need to be released. So he really just danced around Scarborough's backing him in a corner. Why didn't the Biden

administration release him? And that's a legitimate question. This is why it's so be fuddling to me. Everybody's position has gone the polar opposite of what he used to be, which seems like five minutes ago.

showers of storms. Attempts on Ohio of eighty seven. It's seventy three degrees right now. Let's get a traffic update. Chuck Ingram from the ucup traffic that you see.

been having an ongoing battle with the Fed. When he's got the interest rates low for the purpose of home buyers, Obviously the interest rates are significantly higher than they have been, and that's a real problem. I still refin luck back on when we first bought our house, when interest rates were north of eight percent. We had a seven to twenty three balloon on our first house and it was financed at eight and an eighth and we had a provision in our closing where the seller paid three points.

So obviously a different landscape, but we were able to manage through that. But it's been a real problem because the price of homes has gone through the roof, and this is where the problem lies. If you get the interest rate lowered, it's not going to impact the price of the house. In fact, there's going to be more demand out there since more people would be able to afford a mortgage if the interest rates were lower. I saw this article the other in the in the Journal.

Median age of a first time home buyer is now thirty eight years old. Medium price for an existing single family home last year four hundred and twelve five hundred dollars. That significantly increased rising interest rates made it a bad situation, whereas average monthly mortgage payments on that medium priced house jumped from fourteen hundred and forty five dollars in counter year twenty one all the way up to twenty five hundred and seventy dollars last year. Home insurance has also

gone up dramatically. You may have noticed that that's a problem that's plaguing a lot of folks, most notably in states that have a lot of natural disasters, like California, where homeowners insurance companies are pulling out completely. Good luck on that, and that rising home insurance premium transforms that twenty five seventy average monthly premium up to thirty two

hundred and seventy bucks a month. As translated, the annual income required to qualify for a mortgage on the medium house risen more than sixty percent since twenty twenty one, which prices out more than half of the potential first time home buyers, which is why the average home buyer is now thirty eight years old. Used to be a lot younger than that. They say government policies aren't helping either.

Trump's tariff's going to add significantly to the cost of building because lumber and aluminum and other products are going to building. Homes are going up. There's a shortage of workers. We're apparently short two hundred and fifty thousand construction workers. And that's a career opportunity for folks out there. It really is. The trades are where it's at so many there's so many opportunities for people to get a career.

If all you need to do is earn why you learn in a trade program or I guess go to a school and learn the trades, plumbing, HVAC, construction. You're going to get a job, apparently. But the landscape isn't going to change, even if Trump got his way and had the interest rates lower. There's a shortage of houses out there. And the other thing that's changed, too is what builders actually build. And this is something that I've

observed many times over the years. The new homes are massive compared to the old homes, and as the article points out, the median size of a new home has increased from about fifteen hundred square feet back in the nineteen sixties to now more than twenty two hundred square feet, and that was in the early twenty twenties. You can't get builders to build the small homes. The profit is

in larger homes. The demand is in larger homes, and if you've got a limited number of construction workers, you're going to go where the profit is, and the profit apparently is in larger homes. So I mean, I just bring this up because there ain't no easy solution or quick fix to the price of housing and the cost of housing, and I'm not quite sure if owning a home is part of what you and I perceive as the American dream. I think in many cases people would

say that, but is it really the American dream? Do you have to own a home to achieve and embrace and enjoy what you perceive to be the American dream?

And when I was in Germany and I happened to visit Hautmann's home town, comments in Saxony, and I found that part of his autobiography had been published in German, but it was part of a larger manuscript that he had written. And when I came back to the US, I founded at the New Jersey State Police Museum. Parts were missing, the part that had published in Germany. So I translated them into English and put together the full manuscript,

and I think it sheds light of the case. And I added a lot of notes to it based on my research, which I think clearly showed that he did not get a fair trial. It was really an absolute farce.

maintained his innocence. The police there too, from their perspective, they were under tremendous pressure. Been two and a half years after the kidnapping, they had not found anybody, and they offered money to Haupman if he would confess. They offered him leniency, but he maintained his innocent So I edited the autobiography and it gives him a posthumous opportunity to tell to tell his story. And you know why

is it important? Well, it was called the crime of the century, and it was you know, even then already people questioned that the evidence was manufactured witnesses were bribed.

testified him against him. One of the lead one was John Condon, and in a police lineup and then in a meeting with Helpman for an hour, he denied that Haman was the man he had spoken with when ransom money was transferred.

And then he met on two occasions with a person to transmit ransom money to him, and he spoke with it with that person, and later on then he met with Hautmann and jail, but he denied that that was the person he had spoken with. But then on the during the trial he said he was a person.

for a long period of time. They're just a very famous man. He was so of course, his son being kidnapped and ultimately murdered drew the attention of the American people. And this guy, the person who was convicted, Bruno Richard Houtman wrote a book in German and that's what Harr Toltzman has uh has translated into English, so it's his words. But also the commentaries were learning from Don Toltzman about

why this was probably a total farce this trial. And as I read your notes, Don Man, this guy was he was railroaded.

And so the whole thing about the witnesses is absurd and I think maybe you as a lawyer could understand that readily.

that they talked about was the wooden ladder that was used. Yeah, well, when they first searched Houtman's garage, they couldn't find They didn't find anything, but then later they found a board that they said matched the wood used on the ladder. Well it obviously looks to have been planted there by the police. And when you looked at the ladder, it did not even reach the window of the Lindbergh home. And also it wouldn't have held somebody of haut Month's weight.

I think there was a test done on and one of the lower rungs of the ladder broke. And also it was about two feet below the window the second floor of the Lindbergh home. And so how somebody could have crawled out of the window carrying a like a thirty pound infant and get down there was incredibly well, you know. And also Lindberg's her Heutman's fingerprints were found nowhere, and so the whole case really looks like a farce.

And also I alluded to a recent research by Lisa Pearlman, who has a book called the Lindberg Kidnapping Suspect Number One, The Man who Got Away, and she convincingly argues that it was Charles Lindberg who masterminded the whole kidnapping what that he was behind it.

removed surgically. And in this recent publication I mentioned, it was found that Lindbergh was in touch with a surgeon and it thought that.

haven't copied. Well, a couple of years later than Haupman had gone to a gas station and he had paid for a gasoline with one of the bank and it was a what was called a silver certificate, and they were being turned in at that time, and so the serial numbers were copied and when the attendant there noticed that, and he contacted the police about it, and they he had copied on the license number on Haupman's car, and so they traced it to him, and that's the way he identified it.

each and every day. Tiffany and all the other members of Insant Police Department appreciate you very much, and so to my listeners. Seven fifty six. Right now after the top of the our news in studio, retired detective Jim Grindle speaking of law enforcement. Lead detective with the Springdale Police Department for thirty fi five years twenty one years doing investigations before retiring in twenty thirteen. He's written a book,

Homicide Investigation. The interview. We'll talk with him after the news. Hope you can stick right. You will be called the twelve Day War. I suppose that's what we were nicknaming it already.

the criminal element. It's just it's crazy what you have to deal with over the years, and we have a lot of fun with the stories, for sure. Oh I bet now you are not really retired right now, as I understand.

Once you get that response, you know through them, he.

a lot of that as props. Actually, there's times where I will take out photographs of the victim or of things that are uncomfortable source be sure, and I will leave them out there and during the interview just kind of watch his response and how he reacts to the photographs and stuff that are sitting in front of him.

Though that would only basically be you know, an accidental accident shooting, but the fact they're leaving a homicide or a robber, I should say, uh, it would make a felony, and therefore, you know, a homicide.

And this individual would actually stay with the family, you know, as a friend and everything else. And he had no idea that he was actually part of the homicide while he was living with an household.

some rain. Finally, for Sunday, very humid again and another chance of some rain eighty seven for the high end. Right now, it's seventy three degrees. Time for a traffic update. Chuck from the UCL Tramphic Center.

his teeth. I thought it was a rather funny exchange, Jim, you're He says, I wasn't there, I wasn't in the car. I wasn't in the car. And you say, wait a second, I got your phone records. Man, we know you were there. And he denied even knowing the woman that was involved in the crime, although he had like twenty two different phone calls tour. I mean, this guy was just an exercise of futility in his denials.

shoot the firearm. A little lesson there. So it's called the homicide investigation. The interview, real fascinating stuff with Jim. Jim, I understand you have another book in the works. What's that one about?

you know, people of ventures. Because of some of the things that occurred in Indianapolis and also here in Cincinnati, we could put them in the locations here.

You know that kind of narrative has permeated through the society. Are since a police departments down one hundred and fifty officers. They're losing more and more every day. I know they got some classes lined up and they're trying to do some lateral hires. What's your take on law enforcement right now?

You know, for someone out there that maybe consider for a career, and do you think things have kind of run off the rails as we exist in a society here relative to our perceptional law enforcement.

And it's like you said that with the courts and what they're doing now with the people that are you know, I think what they do is they protect mostly the bad people and the people that are good people it's just don't work for them.

do not do it. He's that person's held out as an example. Look what's going to happen to you if you do the same damn thing, So you're not inclined to do it. I wouldn't want to go to jail, for God's sake. It's enough of a determ for me to keep my nose clean my entire life. But if you take that away, things runningm uck well. And with that said, I mean I've worked with a lot of great people. My career wouldn't be like it is without

the people I worked side by side with. And I mean there's a lot of good people out there, and then a lot of them have the same feelings I do that this is a great career. I still recommend it to people. Good for you, I'm glad so.

start withdrawing money. And they were doing this all over the country, and they were out of Turkey and some people out of Russia, and Secrett Service did the majority of that, but it started a lot. Actually in Springdale, they went to a what was that a travel Yeah, and they were taking the cards and putting nine thousand, nine hundred and niney nine dollars on them, and that started the investigation with us.

then a very humid Sunday chance of storms. Of course, eighty seven for a high seventy three degrees right now, if you've got kres to Deucauk station cyber traffic.

And as we've seen unfortunately in a lot of these coastal cities which will remain nameless New York and calibrating and and they it's it's not going to help the police if all you do is it's a revolving door when they bring them in and they just release them. If you do something wrong, if you and I, you or I break the law, we have to be punished. It's not so much as a cruel thing. It's actually a good thing. It keeps us from reoffending, It keeps

us from getting worse with our law breaking. I mean, if you don't punish these people, it just emboldens them to do worse and worse things. And I just can't reiterate enough that we got to remember when you when you hire these people, when you vote for them, they've got to be strong on the police. They've got to be strong on the constitution. Right, We've got to make sure we punish the evildoers and try to protect the victims. I mean, we just got to do it.

it's a pointless effort to do their job. I mean, you know, I always kind of speculate them in the back of my mind, you know, Jay, Jeff, I wonder what the real crime statistics would be if the police actually arrested everybody who should have been arrested, if they

didn't just ignore the curfew violations. Let the young teenagers go out on the street because they know that nothing's going to happen of them, and the work in arresting them is a pointless gesture because there's no place to put them, so why bother If they had actually, you know, issued citations or otherwise arrested everybody that they encounter who's committed to crime and it has the justifiable reason for being arrested, I bet the crime stats would be a

lot worse. It's just that its point is doing their job. I feel sorry for It's one of the reasons morale is down. Yeah, my friend, I appreciate the call, Jeff, I truly Do you want to go shorter or go extra long? Joe? Okay, mister pappis one moment I don't want to get cut your time off, so hang on one Minute'll be right back after these brief words fifty

five KRC dot com. Jenna and I first one to want for chance of showers and storms two day eighty five will be the high overnight lo seventy one with a slight chance of rain. Storms and showers possible Tomorrow with a high of eighty six overnight down the two. It's going to be very humid, they predict, and they also predict the possible rain. Finally for Sunday, another very humid day with a chance of some storms eighty seven

for the high seventy three degrees. Right now, let's hear about traffic from the U see How Traffic Center.

on political lines or any other lines. Now, are there some that I won't be torn up about if their time comes?

they are very supported by political parties. They are nominated, they are supported, they are held up, they are they are you know, voted by mostly on political lines. And you can clearly traced fact that God only is this poor, you know, the level of morale on the police suffering because of this you know, it's just we said no deterrence. I saw news stories yesterday about oh protesters arrested at the anti ice protests on the Rowland Bridge. They're arrested because they were blocking traffic.

Of course, go to the Hamilton County Auditor's web page and find out if somebody owns a house under a certain name in Hamilton County. But all the counties have that the idea that that there are elected officials pushing for legislation taking away the ability of ICE agents to keep their faces covered to avoid that happening. Because it is happening. Our ICE agents are under threat all the time.

I mean the amount of crime and criminal activity directed at ICE agents according to report I read, is jumped like eight hundred and fifty percent. They're being threatened, their families are being threatened, and one of the ways they have to protect themselves and their families from that is by key and their faces covered.

taken down. This is what occurs in America today. And they, you know, yuck, yuck, wink wink, we didn't do it. We don't know who.

other party. I'd love for someone to point out, can you think, I mean, you've known me a long time, and you've known my conservative views, and you know conservatives. Can you remember anyone pushing or advocating for the murder or death of Joe Biden?

you have a great weekend. I appreciate tenning in the show and calling today three seven, four nine fifty D eighty two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones eight forty.

has achieved. So there's your background, Keegan, and some free publicity there for your brother.

involved with with their children's lives. And there needs to be a bigger push rather than or maybe not rather, but in tandem with all these other efforts that we're trying to do, we need to be putting out the message that you know, dads and fathers are such an important role in the development, especially in the development of of young men's lives, to where if they don't have that, it's it's too easy for them to go astray and and get you know, not only influenced by, but taking

advantage of some some bad actors and bad characters and thus caused a bunch of trouble. But you know, I I really think that that's that's the biggest solution, would be the biggest tool in the tool belt of the city and the region to just get the word out even more so. And and dads you need to get involved in uh and and it's it's just it's just rampant, and you're talking about it.

that alone. If you're live in a house and you got a dad that gets up every day and goes to work, he is demonstrating something to you that is valuable, that work is important and he's willing to get up and go to work every day for you, it's a sign of love without even say out loud, I love you. But the problem is we live right now at a time in society when men are belittled, they have been minimized.

Women don't need men in their lives. They're equal as men, and they're not going to play I mean, you know how it is the idea of a real, true old fashioned man's man has been replaced by, you know, the likes of like a David Hog type character.

And it's just not a great example for people. You know, both of the sexes bring wonderful things to the table, and and you know, family unit is made whole by both those people moving together, you know. And and but fathers need to be in the homes and dads need to get involved, and that's what needs to happen in the community more. And that's what I think.

problem we're having with young people these days. And I have talked to so many men and women in law enforcement as well as education and counselors and psychologists and psychiatrists over the years. They would agree with you completely in your assessment. Appreciate it. Brother, You have a fantastic weekend eight fifty five and tell your mom and dad I said hi.
