55KRC Friday Show - Tech Friday, Orlando Sonza, Cory Bowman, Chris Piehorta, Bill OReilly

I think they're all to some degree invasive, as we've learned from Dave over the years, but the most invasive. Let's see how they determined which one of the most invasive are He did an op ed piece Dave did Chinese evi's threat to national security and privacy, and he'll talk about a video that shows how easy it is to install a card skimmer. Excuse me, I had to exercise the cough button. Get my voice going in the five o'clock hours sometimes can be a struggle for me,

So apologies for that. What has Orlando's sons have been up to? Of course we were all weeping over the victory of Greg Greg Landsman over Orlando Sanza, but I know he's still active, and we're going to find out from him today at seven oh five. What's he been doing since the election, his thoughts on what's going on in DC and what's in store for him future wise in terms of politics. And I can only hope that

he does pursue some office down the road. I think he's just such a brilliant man and just a family man, an honorable man, a decent man, and I think he's well deserving in some position if he chooses to run. I mean, that's of course his choice. Corey Mawman one of three now running for the mayor city of Cincinnati. Correy's going to j join the program at seven thirty. That's great. We had him on early on in his efforts and apparently got enough signatures, so we have options

in the city of Cincinnati. Question, does anybody think that a Republican can win in the city of Cincinnati. Christopher P. Hotel, with the book wanted the FBI, I once knew cash Mittel got confirmed yesterday by a squeak. A squeaker, but cash Mittel was confirmed FBI director. So Christopher on his book as well as his thoughts on cash Hotel at eighth five, and they'll look not a new book to talk about. Bill O'Reilly's been on the program a whole

bunch of times over the years. Every time he releases a new book, I just you pour right through it. They're great reads or easy reads. They're informative, very interesting, and no book to talk about today. But we will get his thoughts on what's going on in DC. We will get his thoughts on Mitch McConnell, who is not seeking reelection. Can't believe I didn't get a woo who on that one. Joe. The audience is going, yeah, he's

eighty three years old. For god's sake, the next campaign would be twenty twenty six, so he's gonna just, I guess fade away. Cash Bettel will be on the subject Metalist with Bill O'Reilly, and then we will of course Bill O'Reilly dot com if you're interested in getting his books, they're fantastic as well as his commentary. He does a

lot of activity over Bill O'Reilly dot com. So Bill O'Reilly at eight thirty, closing out of Friday here on the fifty five Carssey Morning Show, Outstanding, Joe, Outstanding, did you reach out to him or did he reach out to you? You reached out to him. That's great. You know, he's a busy man. He doesn't necessarily have to spend time on the fifty five Cassey Morning Show on a Friday morning. So it's awfully cool that he is. We

have a good relationship with Bill. It's kind of funny because if you get a Bill O'Reilly book, you damn well better read it before you talk to him about it, because he's going to ask you, did you read my book? So has he? Fun fact from Joe Strecker, he's hung up on people who haven't read his book. Oh that's funny.

But again, there are good books. We'll get to catch yoursel as a crime stopper bag guy the week later in the program as well, Jay Ratlife from yesterday, Michael Walsh with his book A Rage to Conquer Twelve Battles have changed the course of Western history. Ohio State Representative Jennifer Gross on medicaid. And we'll see if we can't bring back to the top of the conversation we had with the state auditor Keith Faber, because previously on the

program it was sometime last year. He didn't seem overly concerned about the amount of well, for example, payments that went out of state. He subsequently did some sort of analysis and review and uncovered that about was it, twenty five percent of the Medicaid dollars floats to some other state, to a resident of some other state, which should be verboten and should be ferreted out. If you can figure it out through an audit of a handful of sample

of claims, let's start cutting the payments. But as Jennifer Gross explained, you've got to get approval from the basically the administration, the federal government to make any changes whatsoever, including adding a work requirement. So that's the strings attached that she pointed out. You know, ninety percent of the Medicaid money. We did that Medicaid expansion some years ago, and ninety percent of that money comes from the federal government.

Menial highlands are on the hook for the other ten percent. What if they cut that money? And what of the folks that just entered into the program under the expansion weren't there previously? Can they manage themselves without it? And she said, they are all the people we're talking about here, able bodied folks who could get jobs, and so the job requirement or a job training requirement, you know, that might help them move away from the welfare state and

get themselves unhooked from the umbilical court of government. How about that? And yesterday I got a fun text from Joe Strecker the protest outside the Greater Cincinnati Tesla store. Are those independently owned and operated? Joe, do you know? Or is that z line Muscow in it? I don't know either. So about fifty people showed up Wednesday, upset over the mass layoffs that are happening under the Trump administration, with this Department of Government Efficiency. And there's been a

lot of lawsuits filed over it. And those lawsuits intentionally brought about by Donald Trump. He knew they were coming. And there's a great op ed from Kim Strassel on that maybe we can get some of the details on that later. But they're outside the Tesla store and they're screaming about, well these firings. Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillage

was there. Well, if you've been able to draw connection between Hamilton County crimes and the prosecution of crimes here in Hamilton County with the firing of various government employees in the federal government level, Joe, because I'm struggling with that one all the time. Yeah, you think about it all the time. Yeah, right. We love spending money to send them to war, but we usually forget about them

when they come home, and that's disgusting. Referring to I guess the recent firings at the Department of Veteran Affairs as an example of the cruelty of the Trump administration, the American Federal Federation of Government Employees Local thirty eight to forty Save our Services SOS of course, haha, that's the I guess, the banner under which these protests are flying said the jobscups would have a trickle down effect

on services people throughout Greater Cincinnati rely on. So Connie Pillach, Hamilton County Prosecutor making a pitch to protest the firings of these federal government employees now rewind And I appreciate Joe going back to this because November twelfth, twenty twenty four, WVXU reported, after having spoken with her after the election, when she did win, she beat Melissa Powers with fifty one percent of the vote, Obviously the first time that

a Democrat has taken over the prosecutor's office. Yeah, I think it was the report of ninety one years of Republicans handling the prosecutor's office here in the city of Cincinnati. The people of the city of Cincinnati kind of liked that. In Hamilton County most specifically because, well, she would the Republicans over the years have been rather tough on crime. But back then, quote, I don't see this as a political job. I'd like to see us focus on the

job instead of the politics. Close Quote what do you think she forgot.

it with the Polatano all the time. It just came up with I think Daniel Davis earlier in the week we did a deep, deep dive, but we are using drones and flying over to discover where these ventnol lambs are manufactured and you think that's a new development uner the Trump administration in preparation for war, and oh my god, you know this is an atrocity. We can't be doing this. That started under the Biden administration. Jones part of a

covert program started during the Biden administration. The effort was not disclosed until this week, so it's been an ongoing thing. But fortunately, as reported and I appreciate the reporting on that one, we're sharing that information with Mexico. Now, I don't know that that gets the president of Mexico out of a lurch, because the Cartels presents this literally existential threat to the well being in the lives of the

various politicians in Mexico. They kill them all the time, and it was widely speculated the President Scheinbaum actually came out and said, do not designate these folks as terrorist organizations, probably because they had threatened her. You better do something about Trump or we're gonna do something about you. It's a pretty lawless country when it comes right down to it, unless you know, you think the cartels are providing some form of structure for the citizenry there. But in fun

facts on our border. Related to the situation borders are, Tom Homan pointed out earlier this week that there were only two hundred and twenty nine border patrol encounters along the entire US Mexican border within the prior day, which he pointed out was the lowest since he first joined the border patrol in nineteen eighty four. But when you review the border patrol encounters, which they've been tracking for decades and decades, apparently the numbers have not been this

low since the nineteen sixties. They say, if the agents working on the border continue to encounter this a mirror two hundred and twenty nine every single day, the entire fiscal year would would ultimately be eighty three thousand, five hundred and eighty five, which again is a figure that hasn't been seen since nineteen sixty eight, when there were only sixty two thousand, six hundred and forty reported encounters along the southwest sectors. And I imagine that figure probably

was actually higher. We have it's easier to track people these days with modern technology, of course, computers, and you know, we encounter them, we take a DNA sample, we give them a cell phone and a place to live, and all that. But regardless, obviously the Trove administration is making some serious product progress on the southern border, much to the chagrin of the Catholic bishops who filed the suit the other day and sadly their first round in court

didn't go their way. A well, A federal money is not permanent and you're not entitled to it. Five seventeen fifty five Kacy detoxication. Feel free to call thank you, Joe summing it up quite nicely. Five point three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three Taco with tound five fifty on at and T phones hang around right back. It was LGBTQIA fifty five KRC Beat Talk Station Friday Evenings from Money Full Confirmation. It is Friday year under the five KRC Morning Show.

If I went three seven eight two three talk, I personally love what Doje is doing and I'd love finding out all these illustrations of the insanity. Now while the federal workers are suing the Trump administration because they've been let go, at least some of them get a load of this one props. The Aubrey Spady of Fox News reporting there's apparently a cafeteria. Department of Interior cafeteria initially closed during the coronavirus virus pandemic. That was we were

on freak out mode. Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. So the employees in the cafeteria were told to go home. They continue to be paid. It's been closed for years now, and yet they're not going back to work, and they refuse to go back to work. It's a cafeteria. You can't do remote work. One source speaking with Fox is, you have federal workers showing up to protest President Trump's plan to make government work for the people on a federal holiday, but they refuse to

show up to work when they're collecting a paycheck. Courtisying the American taxpayers. It's just nuts. Yeah, I can sum it up that way too. Department of Interior Care cafeteria closed during the coronavirus pandemic, but the lunch room remained shut down for several years because the Biden administration did not require federal employees to work in person. The photo was circulated from the twenty inhes the other Day, five years after the pandemic, the lunch room remains empty and unmanned.

Which the source speaking Fox says, shows you exactly what's wrong with the mindset of far too many federal workers. They would to get paid for doing nothing. Interior Secretary Doug bergerm in the statement, he's requiring that all federal workers, federal employees returned to the office to comply with the return to work order that was issued by the president. Now, this was the idea that you know, you either return to work or you take the buyout package, which shed

a deadline, and the deadline has passed. So enter lawsuits where people getting canned because they aren't doing anything on behalf of you and me and the cafeteria is just the greatest illustration of how stupid federal government is. Now, if you can remote work at home on a computer and get the work actually done, and you know, props to my wife, she's been doing that. Now since the lockdown, they're shutting down to the legal office at her business.

But every single day she's down there working on contracts, on conference calls, video and otherwise every single day putting into full day's work and doing the job that is necessary for her to keep her employment. If she was a cafeteria worker, she couldn't do that from the basement of her home. And I know I'm stating the obvious. Don't man explain Thomas, but this is I'm just incensed by this. They want to continue to work from home.

Someone asked me, or answer the question, how can a cafeteria employee work from home and justify the salary that you and I are still paying for them? Go ahead, Democrats defend that and those has found out that there are four point six million credit cards out in the world issued by the US government active credit card accounts, which spent thirty nine point seven billion dollars in more than ninety million transactions in the last fiscal year alone.

General Service Administration Smartpay credit card system has seen what they've described in bright Bard Props to Olivia Rondo, total amount of money spent on the cards, as well as dramatic surge and the total number of transactions over the past few years. Fiscal year twenty twenty two, they spent thirty two point eight billion, a seven billion dollar jump in two years, seventy eight point five million in fiscal year twenty twenty three built million transactions. I might point

out that's in billions of dollars. And now ninety million transactions for fiscal year twenty twenty four. Here's the problem. The audit found a staggering thinking about the Medicaid payments to out of state individuals here in the state of Ohio, coming in about twenty five percent. They found twelve percent of credit card purchases on government issued cards quote, may

have violated the Pentagon's spending policies. These are just for Pentagon cards, by the way, Developed Veteran Affairs has them, Department of Defense has them, all these other government agencies have them. But this is in Pentagon spending eleven thousand transactions totally, more than half a million dollars made at casinos, ATMs, mobile application stores, bars, nightclubs during holidays and sporting events. The oh, we can't have dogs doing this work, folks.

Oh no, no, no, there's nothing to see here. Everything's being spent and we're all just dutifully minding the dollars we steal from you, the American public five twenty six fifty five care see detalk station local stories or phone calls followed by the stack is stupid. I prefer the phone calls, but we can go either way you want.

I'll be right back Channel nine first morning one A forecast's gonna get mostly sunny day to day with thirty one for a high dot eighteen overy night partly clotty skies, thirty six with partly sunny skies Tomorrow down to twenty one, clear skyes Sunday partly cloutie going up to forty four degrees. They see attempts in the fifties to start the new work week next week. Not too bad by fifteen degrees right now to give out PERCD talk station. Actually nineteen degrees.

Had happy Friday. Local story is thirteen year old dead after a shooting happened in Wentton Woods last night. According to Sincinnti Police, they showed up of the scene to Dutch Colony Drive reported person down. When they got there, they found a thirteen year old who had been shot teen pronounced dead at the hospital. Local news WCPA reporting they were at the scene checking on it and they said they report more additional information when it becomes available.

What a tragedy, Climon Unnedy Prosecutor Mark to call. They and Claarmont County Police chief Sheriff's Association are concerned, They say for the safety of residence conducting investigations into child predators to Calley Center press releases, come to our attention that there are various vigilante groups who've taken it upon themselves to engage in the two catchup predator style undercovers things. Calvey said, the groups have met up and confronted various

individuals suspected to be predators. We had that these meetings could often or rather occur publicly. Often occur publicly rather within Claremont County, he said. While we applaud and appreciate your intent, we cannot stress enough the danger of engaging in such conduct. Prosecutor's office and law enforcement arguing that citizens are putting themselves and others at risk by endangering

these engaging in these investigations. Law enforcement says that the vigilanti groups should stop participating in these investigations and instead contact the police that they believe there's speaking with a person who has sexual interest in young children. Quote from Tacolby. Please leave this work to the professionals, and please help us keep all citizens of Claremont County safe by not

engaging in potentially dangerous acts or confrontations. They say, if you know of any potential criminal activity, just contact your local police department. I hate child predators. I don't know how I feel about that one, but yeah, if you do know something, it's like drop a dime. Report to your local law enforcement if you know about criminal activity, if you know someone who's committed a crime. The idea is for the public to work with law enforcement. Let

them do their job. And I suppose in the final analysis, I can come down on the side of mister Chacoalabi. Go to Oxford where my fraternity, sadly I wasn't there. I went to the University of Cincinnati, so different chapter, and we actually didn't get along with the members of the Miami University chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who's now

in trouble suspended. They are over allegations of hazing. Fox nineteen speaking with legal analysts Mary Curmbine on college campuses, there is a certain large group of people that still accepted they call it a sort of rite of passage, but the legislature has really put its foot down and really more heavily criminalizing those actions. Apparently, the hazing report indicates someone claiming to be a pledge for the fraternity told someone else he was being Hayes from multiple days

during rush week. Also said he was forced into accepting a bid into the fraternity. There were forced activities included described as humane in the report which the report says a member was forced to ingest an entire can of chewing tobacco and do a handstand which made him vomit. Also said he was forced to cut off all communications with others, delete social media, and be at annexes for

up to twenty four hours a day. Also had to perform what was will perform wall sits covered in baby oil and each time they slipped, they were forced to drink. Butler County Prosecutor Mike Moser, where of course university is Butler County, it has gone on record maytime saying that he is very much against hazing and he's taken it very seriously in the past. Spokesman for the university sent a statement to Fox nineteen said hazing of any kind

is illegal and strictly prohibited Miami University. Miami seeks to promote a safe environment where students may participate in activities in organizations without compromise in health, safety, and welfare. Welfare. University policies hazing is defined as doing, requiring, or encouraging or or coursing another, including the victim, to do any act of initiation into any student organization or other university

sanctioned organization or athletic team. Also includes any act that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person, including coursing and other to consume alcohol or any other drug. Geez, you know, I went to college. I think I pledged that fraternity at University of Cincinnati, at least I got pledged in fall

of eighty three and was initiated in eighty four. And I look back on my time there, and I really can't think of anything that they did that I personally viewed as hazing. You got a lot of older brothers screaming at you about cleaning up and things like that. But I didn't view cleaning up as hazing, as as part of the process. Somebody's got to clean the place. Hey, welcome to the new pledge class. Here's a mop, and

we may get some freshes restaurants back. Former landlord of Fish's Big Boy Real Estate Company indicated last week in corporate filings it was still in the eviction process for a bunch of the restaurants, but the company N N and RET said it's taken back possession of more than half of the locations quote twenty eight of which properties have been released to another restaurant operator with rent commencing

May first. Seems to confirm acclaim by fish As last week that a Michigan based Big Boy plans to reopen dozens of its restaurants that have been shut down since they were evicted last October. Date of the filing indicates the restaurants could open it this spring. So keep your finger scrashed. We might get our Big Boys back. And let's hope that the equality of the product increases dramatically. And I think it's one of the reasons Big Boy ran into some problems. They just kind of let it

slip over the years. But I have a got a soft spot in my heart for Fish's. Big Boy just brings back some good memories from when I was a kid. Five point thirty five Stack is stupid coming up. Jeff's excited about the bumper music. Jeff I got another Facebook message from him, So don't go away, folks, be right back.

if I can get my composure back. Okay, And this Armburser went to a concert of the Moody Center earlier the month, she said, the concert let out, she started walking to her car, a little bit of a walk across I thirty five in the Cherrywood neighborhood. Quote. Whenever the crowd would go, I wouldn't maneuver myself and to stay with him, even if that meant elongated my walk.

The whole way, I was pretty much with other people about ninety five percent of the time until I had a cross over into the neighborhood or my car was parked. When she got into the neighborhood, she saw someone. I saw a movement of a male figure, assuming that this guy just lived in this house and was outside, perhaps smoking a cigarette. He looked naked. Like from first glance, I thought, wow, he looks naked, but I just didn't think that could be. But I followed my gut, and

my gut said, don't go that way. Well played, miss arm Broisterer. Instead of going straight, she turned, she said. Then she finally saw her car. I was steps away from a when I heard very fast running footsteps behind me. I turned, and as I turned, he was literally right on me. Right there, he grabbed my hips. I imagine if someone was trying to pull your pants off. Imagine if someone was trying to pull your pants off aggressively.

That's exactly what he was doing. I was able to break free from him, I know, and because she was at a concert, Joe, she wouldn't have been able to be carrying a firearm even in the state of Texas, right, I'm sure they prohibit those in concerts. I was able to break free of them, and then I bolted running while I continued to scream, and I think that chaos created also scared him. He wasn't expecting that and he bolted in the other direction. She called nine one one,

saying I was having trouble breathing. I was crying and just screaming randomly. I was shaking so bad. Austin police, of course, trying to find the man. She said, I want people to know. I want them to keep their eye I don't want them to know this happened, so they can protect themselves. If you know anything at all, you can get a lead that helps will will help find him, because we've not found him, and I want

to keep others safe. She said. She hopes to start a self defense class with other women, say would know what to do if anything like this ever happened again. Of course, calls for folks with information about the purp are requested by local police there Jeez October fourth. Last year, Mountain Hope police received a complain about a woman sleeping in a truck and responded to an address on Highway

sixty two. When officers arrived in the scene, they were told the woman had gotten out of the vehicle was walking eastbound into town. A number of units began initially unsuccessful hunt for the woman. One officer returned to the apartment complex and drove throughout the parking lot. He reported seeing a pickup truck with a passenger side door open and a woman standing by the door. She was said to be taking items out of the truck and throwing

them on the ground. When the officer spoke to her, she said she woke up in the truck and was now cleaning it out. Items removed from the vehicle included vape packages, red bull cans, gatorade bottles, and medication packages. When she was asked if the truck belonged to her, she said no, they said. The officer said she also was disoriented and stumbling, as this tradition. Officer reported that

he smelled no alcohol over this woman's person. Witness told the officer that she had been wandering around the complex and had attempted to get into her apartment. The woman indicated she was staying in one of the apartments, but had no identification while its cell phone or key to any apartment or vehicle in the area. At tempt was made to have someone let officers into the apartment, she claimed, but no one answered. The door officers scribe she began

speaking with witnesses. They were told that this woman named Overmeyer had allegedly been trying to gain entry to a number of vehicles in the complex. Also moved through the parking. She would frequently lift her dress, exposing herself. Which is why I made the Friday stacker stupid because she was described by what are you doing? Partially naked. Owner of the truck in which Overmyer had been seen sleeping in

was a resident of the complex. Police were able to talk with him, and he said he didn't know her and had not given her permission to be in his truck or remove the items from the vehicle. And to that point, police took her into custody and took her to the Baxter kind of detention Center, where she is said to have had difficult time understanding instructions from the

jail staff as this tradition. Previously, she'd been arrested January twenty seventeen for breaking into a house wearing no clothes.

There's a whole arrested report here. I think just fast forward at the officer writes due to the reasonable suspicion of the fire alarm activation and to the detained individual. I read him as Miranda warning rights from Miranda cart And during my preliminary Miranda conversation, I asked him if he pulled the fire alarm poll station, and he said

I did. When asked why he pulled a fire alarm, he stated he wanted to Okay, further stated he was going to use a chemical weapon from his portable phone charger to burn the building down, and if the building was going to burn down, he was going to watch people suffer. He made references to the building blowing up and that this incident was the call before the storm.

Due to the above references of a chemical weapon and weapons of mass destruction to an occupied building, I find probable cause to charge him with violations including the following manufactured possession, sale, delivery, display, use, or attempted or threatened use of a weapon of mass destruction, false alarms for fires. Individual taken to and booked into the Palm Beach Guinty Jail without further incident. Described as son of longtime board

member and former board chair Frank Barbieri Junior. Also described as a well respected attorney. Apparently, this guy has faced multiple charges over the past several years and is now the subject of a quote mental health hold close quote that was initiated rather by the University police. Fifty two

years old got an award to give out Joe. Married couple been arrested on felony charges after their eight year old son suffered what they describe as permanent disfigurement when he was bound with tape from his shoulders down to his feet in an apparent disciplinary measure. According to police, Nicholas Barsett, fifty six, admitted chasing his child around their Florida home before grabbing the victim against his will. Barsett then picked up the boy and carried him into the

child's bedroom. Quote The defendant held the victim down as he utilized tape to tie the child up from his shoulders down to his feet. While this was occurring, Barsett's wife, forty five, stood there look don in didn't do anything to intercede. Boy left home alone in his room, told cops that he yelled for help and attempted to stand up despite not being able to move to to the duct tape. Trying to get up, the child fell on

his face, splitting his chin open. Said the victim could not brace himself for the fall due to his limbs being bound or bonded to his body by the tape. Affi David says the boy's parents later found him bleeding on the bedroom floor. Nicholas Barsett told cops he performed first day to get the bleeding to stop. The couple did not call emergency services or bring their son to a medical facility to have the laceration properly checked and closed.

Court filings did not indicate how police who arrested the bar Sets learned from learn of the taping punishment, which reportedly occurred around two months ago. Both parents, copsay, confessed the respective roles in the incident after being read the Miranda rights Perios the biggest douche of the universe in all the gown There's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top, the pinnacle of douche dum. Good going due.

Your dreams have come true. No kidding. Nicholas Barsett charged with felony chout abuse and booked into the County jail, released with a one fifteen thousand dollars bond, which seems woefully inadequate. Alex bar of Barset spent the night in County jail before she was freed on her own recognizance.

Let's see here. Very quickly, using a fingerprint lifted off of a goldfish package, cops identified and arrested Demand for hitting a female family doctor manager in the face with the crackers when she confronted him about stealing from the retailer. Cops alleged that Michael Gonzalez, aka Gizmo, struck the sixty five year old victim of walking out of a Florida business with approximately fifty dollars worth of cleaning supplies and a box of goldfish crackers. Why are you doing that?

Cops say. The victim approached Gonzalez as he handed the stolen goods to a passenger and a vehicle parked out front of the Golf Court store. Upon being challenged by the woman, Gonzalez, who's twenty nine, allegedly hit her in the face with the goldfish crackers, causing a small cut under her lip. Gonzalez arrested for strong arm robbery, a felony, in connection with the September twenty twenty four goldfish incident.

He was in custody for a prior alleged robbery during which he stole a skateboard from a man who he punched, bit and stabbed in the face and head. Surveillance images from the Family Dollar Gonzales had served several distinctive tattoos and if you could see him, yeah, they're quite distinctive, including one between his eyes. He apparently told cops. He he admitted, yes, that was me in the photos. Through the interview. Police noted Gonza has stated that this was

petty and that he should just get time served. Judge disagreed, setting his bond at thirty thousand dollars for the two pending robbery cases. Five fifty six plenty to talk about before we go with tech Friday's day've hat or coming up in six thirty. You can feel free to call in. I'd love to hear from if youve got a topic you want to talk about. I'll be right back covering Trump's first one hundred days.

what he's been doing since the election. His thoughts about what's going on in DC and will he be seeking an office at some point his future. Corey Bowman hops he has a future for Asmeri City of Cincinnati. He's one of three people now running. Corey who joins the program at seven thirty uh. Fast forward to eight oh five Christopher Pihorda with the book Wanted the FBI I once knew. Also get his thoughts about Cash Bettel, who just succeeded in securing the position to run the FBI.

Bill O'Reilly great to have Bill on. We get his thoughts on what's going on in DC. We'll get his reaction to Mitch McConnell's saying he's not going to run for reelection. He's already eighty three and the elections not for another couple of years. Cash battel thoughts on that. And of course you can get all of Bill O'Reilly's commentary as well as his outstanding books at Bill O'Reilly

dot com. So that's coming up five three seven two three Talk now is interesting analysis by Kim Straussel explaining almost it's almost a former reverse lawfair. Now, of course, you've got all these organizations suing Donald Trump because of his you know, some describe as ham fitted actions firing thousands of people of various different organizations. Some are claiming he doesn't have the legal right to do that. One

of those groups shot down the other day. A couple of federal judges this week declined to stop the Trump administration from firing federal workers and doing these math at mass layoffs. Yesterday, the US District Judge Christopher Cooper shot down a request from several federal labor unions, among them

the National Treasury Employees Union. They, along with other labor unions, filed a complaint in February twelfth challenging the firing of the probationary employees as well as that deferred resignation program if you recall, that offered them an opportunity to just sort of quit and take a cash payout through September. So the judge denied the request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.

little upset about that. I believe, yes, it was yesterday the federal judge rejected the US Conference Catholic BIDUS bishop's request to turn back the money that's flowing. They called upon the administration to pause. They called it a rather illegal asking the federal court in Washington to issue a temporary restraining order, which US District Judge Trevor McFadden declined to do, saying, the court finds a plaintiff has not made the requisite showing and will thus deny plain its

motion to extend that requests a temporary restraining order. He set a speedy schedule for the bishops to argue for a preliminary in johnction more powerful than a temporary restraining order, but that's going to require some time. So an initial sort of loss for the bishops, that lawsuit will continue.

So now all these lawsuits come in, and Kimberly Strassel suggests that this is exactly what Donald Trump wants to happen, and she writes in the Journal, Trump's constitutional cleanup starts out with Franklin Delana Roosevelt fundamentally redefine the purpose of federal government, setting off an air of ever expanding Washington's scope and reach. Nearly a century later, Donald Trump's White House has taken on itself to challenge the legitimacy of

some foundations of that expansion. The left calls this a constitutional crisis, how about a constitutional cleanup. The sheer volume of mister Trump's actions can make it hard to distinguish between the merely aggressive and the truly striking. In the former category of the Department of Government efficiency moves to cut the size of the federal workforce, change civil service rules,

and eliminate wasteful spending. These moves are unconventional. Most presidents role with the bureaucracy that they are given, but hardly lawless. Progressive litigators may soon discover presidents have a lot of authority to manage employees and programs. It's the truly striking class that deserves Note. This is the growing list of Trump actions deliberately designed to provoke a lejudicial review of

the legality of long standing Washington features. Congress spent a century creating dozens of agencies that blur the boundaries between the executive, legislative, and judicial power, while the administrative state produced thousands of rules that diverge from congressional intent. Constitutionalists have long disputed the legality of those actions, but over time even most critics succumb to the status quo. See the White House revive that fight audaciously questioning the foundations

of the DC architecture is remarkable. Trump unveiled the largest of the rather the latest zinger this week, detonating what the American Actions Forum Daniel Goldbeck labeled a thermonuke de regulatory warhead. The President ordered the agency heads to scour every regulation and bit of guidance under the remit and make lists of those that violate the Constitution, exceed legislative power, go beyond the clear words of a statute, or harm

the national interest. The White House is laying the groundwork to declare hundreds of rules null and void on the grounds that they were not lawful in the first place. Will it get sued, Yes, and the White House knows it. The clear hope is to build on recent Supreme Court rulings that reign in the bureaucratic state. The thermonuke, followed by a separate executive voter, taking aim at agencies that Congress created who perform executive functions administer laws, yet left

free of executive control, they instead report to Congress. These congressional minions, now numbering far more than one hundred, populate Washington and many flex far bigger regulatory muscle than even cabinet departments. They include major agencies like the Federal Communications Commissions and the Securities Exchange Commission, in smaller outfits like

the Election Assistance Commission and the African Development Foundation. Trump has ordered independent agencies to submit all proposed regulatory changes to the White House for review. Q freak out pair this with a separate order this week, drastically reducing the function of a handful of smaller independent agencies, as well as his recent firing of National Labor Relations Board member Gwynn Wilcox despite statutory restrictions on a president's removal authority.

The White House is actively courting a law suit that will ask courts to reconsider nineteen thirty five ruling upholding independent agencies. Ms Wilcox has already sued, it's the point of doing it. It also wants clarity in Congress's nineteen seventy eight law creating Inspectors General congressional watchdogs that sit

with the executive branch and conduct investigations. This is a separation of power's nightmare and issue Trump is raising with his decision to fire seventeen inspectors general his first week in office. Now the president has the undisputed power to remove inspector generals. Mister Trump flouted Congress's rule demanding he provided thirty day notice. Eight of those dismissed would have sued to be reinstated, what the White House surely expected.

Watch now to see if Trump also flouts Congressional structures as the who he is as to who he is allowed to name as replacements. Another fight likely upcoming impoundment or the presidential power to decline to spend full amounts appropriated by Congress. So far, Trump is simply paused by their spending, but he has argued that a nineteen seventies law restricting a president's impoundment power is on constitutional, suggesting the administration may seek to tee up a lawsuit here too.

Note that what Trump is doing is very different than Barack Obama's practice of just ignoring inconvenient laws or Joe Biden's habit of searching through dusty statutes to find some contorted rationale for a new exercise of power. This administration hope its actions will compel the judiciary to re examine the constitutional underpinnings of today's heaving federal infrastructure. Winnorless, the

effort is long overdue. Vigorous debate over the powers and structure of government ought to be a feature of every administration. What should worry us isn't that Trump is doing this now, but that our drowsy political system considers it an anomaly. So keep your popcorn out. The lawsuits have been and will continue to be filed, and she's right on par on point, and Trump is right in terms of this strategy.

There have been a lot of Supreme Court cases pairing back the ability of the regulatory branch that's behind the actual structure of government, the three divisions of government, the regulatory state. Hopefully we'll get the Rains Act in any regulation that costs the American public more than one hundred million dollars must be specifically approved by Congress. We got the West Virginia versus EPA case which said no, a tablespoon of water effectively is not a navigable body of water.

You exceeded your regulatory authority under I think it was the Clean Water Act. There's just one after another, pairing it back and providing a constitutional slash legal challenge that Trump is intentionally inviting right now through his actions. So hopefully these efforts will bear fruit. Six sixteen fifty five KRC Detalk station stick around. Feel free to call. Maybe you got some sort of reaction to that or something

that point on Fridays anyhow. But this is kind of frightening thing, and you know it's coming on the heels of COVID nineteen and all the insanity that we were that that brought about. You remember that US Department of Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service announced earlier this week on Wednesday, that the avian flu aka H five and one has been detected in rats in California. Black rats

found to have this highly contagious bird flu. Apparently they discovered in late January and Riverside County, California, which they had two recent poultry outbreaks. Makes you think the rats may have been eaten the chickens, don't know. Agency update released this week knows that did H five N one detection in a fox in North Dakota, a harbor seal in Massachusetts, a bobcat in Washington State. And here's a frightening one from my cat loving people out there. Eric

domestic cats in Oregon and Montana. USDA said and Steve and all those several oppositions supporting highly pathogenic avian influenza were notified the terminations over the weekend. We were working to swiftly rectify the situation and restind those letters. Yep, USDA had removed. USDA had removed and to rehire the critical staff who worked on the avian flu area. So that was one of those perhaps ready fire aim kind

of things from the Trump administration. Hey, we're firing all of you, and oh my god, by the way, maybe we're bringing you back because we still have an ever growing increasing amount of av and flu floating around out there. According to Representative Don Bacon, Republican of Nebraska, speaking with the AP, while President Trump is fulfilling his promise to shed light on waste fraud abuse, and government does needs to measure twice and cut once. Downsizing decisions must be

narrowly tailored to preserve the critical missions. Which is kind of funny because I was having a conversation along these lines with my sister yesterday, who is a little miffed at just the outright wholesale firing of thousands and thousands of people, believing the administration did engage in a ready fire aim process. I'll let you draw your own conclusions on that. But we do have an overly outsized government.

Let's see, since the latest outbreak of bird flu back in nineteen or in twenty twenty two, one hundred and sixty million birds have been euthanized, and since most of them were chickens, you know why your egg prices are high. And I always tried to kind of bite my tongue with the Biden administration and can connecting that to the bird or to the egg prices which went up throughout

the Biden administration. Yes, they were responsible for a large measure of inflation, but they had nothing to do at least I don't believe in the conspiracy that Joe Biden unleashed bird flu on the world. But egg prices have gone up over five bucks a dozen in a lot of areas of the state. So now they deal with bird flu by killing all the birds?

like you do with COVID? I hope not. Part of me thinks that you know if there is an effort to engage in one of these massive overreactions that the general public having been lied to about COVID nineteen, most notably the COVID vaccine, which early on we were told absolutely prevented you from getting it and spreading it. That

was a lie and they knew it then. Doctor Deborah bricks On Burks, rather was a White House Coordinator Response coordinator under President Trump, admitted during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan that the government did in fact lie to us, and that early treatment would have been the key to it. Not a vaccine. They pushed the vaccine down on a whole bunch of people who were not supposed to get it. Fact, back in twenty twenty two, Jim Jordan was talking with her.

He said, when the government told us the vaccination couldn't transmit COVID, was that a lie or a guess? Doctor burks, I think it was hope that the vaccine would work in that way. Hmm. Now apparently she's claiming the vaccine rollout also ignored science. She stated that the mRNA jab was developed to target those at high risk of severe illness,

not specifically the general population. Quote the messenger, RNA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease, because that's what the vaccine was developed for, she said. She also admitted COVID shot was never designed to prevent infection. Quote. This was not what the covid vaccine was designed to do. It was not designed against infection. Well thanks for letting us know

now this far back out in the game. Someone needs to send this article over to children so they quit denying heart transplants to young people who didn't get the vaccine and apparently, at least under the emissions of doctor Burke's were never intended to get it.

The problem is so many of these things collect a lot more data that really has no benefit to you, but lots of benefit to these companies. As a reminder, if an app is free, an app, software platform, whatever whatever you want to call it is free, it's because you are the product, not the customers. So this guy

broke this down into categories. Percent of personal data shared with third parties, percent of personal data collected for developers, advertising or marketing, percent of personal data collected for analytics, percent of personal data collected for product personalization, percent of personal data collected for app functionality and percent of personal data collected for quote other purposes unquote. Now some of these categories. You know, percent of data collected for analytics. Okay,

that's understandable. They need that to figure out does the thing work? How could they improve it? You know, percent collected for product personalization. Again, that's helping you in theory, right, They're making the product more personalized to you based on that data. Data collected for app functionality. Okay, Again, it's required for the app to provide the service to you. I get it. But personal data shared with third parties

is disturbing, you know, advertising, our marketing. That's how they're making their money, and as is selling it to third parties. But collected for other purposes, well, what is that?

about now for ten plus years. Number one Facebook, Slash, Messenger, and Instagram threads all meta platforms. Sixty eight point six percent of your data is shared with third parties, seventy one point four percent collected for other purposes, sixty eight point six percent collected for advertising or marketing. You know, Google makes many entries in this list. LinkedIn didn't make it at number two thirty seven point one percent, so

roughly half of what the Facebook platforms are collecting. And as a reminder, Microsoft owns LinkedIn that that does not eschew any responsibility or and I'm not saying that makes them better. I just like to remind people in general, Microsoft is less in the business of selling your data and more in the business of selling you software products Like Apple right, they're in the business of selling you hardware and software and not your data. I'm not saying

they don't collect it. I'm not saying they might not sell it, and I'm not saying that couldn't change, saying their business model is different than these companies like Meta the parent of Facebook, or Alphabet the patent of Google, where almost their entire business model relies on collecting your data. And then, going back to your comment, quoting from this article, you know you have apps on here like Candy Crush and Roadblocks, and Roadblocks is essentially a kids game. I mean,

adults play it, but it's really a kids game Candy Crush. Now, they also are collecting a lot less data relative to some of the other Hoover type apps on here. But you know, again, why does why does a calculator need to know your location? It doesn't to just perform math functions. Right, So the big takeaway, in my opinion, Brian, people should look at this again, Google Maps, Google, Amazon, Prime Video, YouTube. There's lots of very very common apps, probably almost everyone

you're listening and interfaces with. And the three takeaways I would say are less apps is better if a product, service, platform, whatever has a web based version like Facebook. Right started out as a web based thing and then they built an app for it, And frankly, it's because the app, you know, is more convenient for people in some ways, and it definitely can collect a lot more data anything

that you can use through a browser. If you have a privacy friendly browser like Brave or Firefox, and you have a VPN and you lock that down, the amount of information they can collect about you is nominal at best unless you explicitly give it to them. So most of these things on here you can use a browser and then finally, you know, read the privacy label and then decide for yourself does it make sense to use an app that's collecting all this data?

Electric not a threat.

looked into. So, you know, any sort of Internet of Things device you might be thinking about, good place to take a look at that and to try to focus on the vendors that are making more privacy your things. And I bring that up again because they did a large expose on modern cars and the amount of information

they're collecting. You know, they're full of computers, they're collecting all kinds of data and kind of like that last story we did Brian, where you know, people are these companies are collecting information in some cases for your benefit and in some cases to provide the service. In other cases, and in most cases it's for their benefit. So these modern cars, they have microphones, they have cameras, they have

all kinds of sensors. They're collecting all kinds of information that I would argue to you as the owner of the car, And even that I would question, are you even really the owner of a car now? Because you can't really fix it or do anything to it. But anyway, it's kind of wild. And now when you throw into the mix, and you know, we see this over and over again. DHS has recently warned about surveillance cameras made

in China if you're buying products. And I hate this because this is it's not about the people of China. It's not about not liking the Chinese people. It's all about the Chinese card.

anytime they want it. But this is so much more than the data. It's the same argument with TikTok. Yes, the data is bad. You know, once you connect your phone to the infotainment center in your car, can all of your contacts, your texts, everything off that phone, just like with TikTok, go back to China through the car manufacturer. Well, yes it could. But the more important thing is can these devices then basically be rolling surveillance tools for China.

It's well documented that during the Russian Ukraine War, Russia was hacking surveillance cameras, webcams, whatever you want to call them, and then using them to target things in Ukraine because they're cheap, crappy Internet of Things, dumpster fires like so much of this stuff. Is it feasible that while you're driving around in your PRC controlled car, it's collecting surveillance that in the event of a hot war they would

use against us. Yes, that is very feasible. But even worse because the car is all computerized, it's all digital, could have back doors in the software that would eventually allow them to send commands to the car and then in self driving mode, it would become a weapon. Yes, that is absolutely within the realm of possibility. They could at five o'clock on a Friday, at rush hour, decide every model of car X. Now, again this isn't exclusive to Chinese evs. Any car that has self driving mode

could theoretically be hacked like this. But when you have an adversarial nation, they're you know, crashing ships over near Taiwan, They're doing all kinds of stuff. They've you know, there's it's well documented and you've had FBI DA chest says a warning about infiltration in our telecom networks, infiltration and our critical infrastructure. Could they turn these you know, these cars are very heavy, They're full of all kinds of

toxic chemicals in these batteries. If a if a six thousand pound rolling missile were to suddenly accelerate to one hundred and twenty miles an hour and run into the local duke substation, What do you think would happen? So again, I yeah, I know a lot of this sounds far if fetched to people, or where to roll into like a gas refinding plant or whatever. Pick whatever local target that could cause chaos, bring the grid down, disrupt this

supply chain. That's where we're at with this stuff. Now again, I'm not saying that a foreign adversary couldn't do similar things to cars that aren't coming from China, But I'm saying by buying chot cars controlled by the People's Republic of China, you literally could be putting actual surveillance devices and weapons on our streets. So yeah, we need to take a strong, long stance against this. It's just a bad idea and people should not be buying these things.

significant value. When you retain Peter Shabia Kelorwilliams seven Hills for your buyer or seller's agent, you're getting the best in the greater Cincinnati area and their entire team knows how competitive the market is out there and they want to help you ensure that you land your dream home. So one of the programs they offer, it's called cash

to Keys program. As a buyer with the Sabri Group, qualified clients can leverage that Cash to Keys program, which will allow you to make a cash offer on that home you've got your eye on, and I know you don't have a whole suitcase full of cash to make the full off payment. That's where the cash toa keys program comes in. This often leads to a lower price and better terms because sellers love cash offers. It's over

and done with so quickly. This is the reason that you always get the five star experience with Peter Shabia Kellorwilliams seven Hills and you will so tap into the cash to keys program or any one of the other programs they offer at Shabri Group of Kelorwilliams seven Hills.

manipulate the point of sales system there. And you know, the problem with so much of this technology now is is as it wrapped up the advances, it gets smaller and more capable. And you know, in the old days, one of the red flags for a skimmer on a device would be they'd have to mess with the aperture where the card goes in, right, So sometimes it might have an overlay over it, or it would look a

little different, or it would be loose. And almost all of that stuff is no longer relevant because so many of these things are basically about the size of a credit card themselves, maybe smaller. They drop them inside the device that doesn't really require any sort of manipulation of the device itself. There's no extra thing sitting over the top of it. It doesn't look funny, it's not loose. It's down inside the device. So when you put your card in there, it can read that mag stripe. So yeah,

unfortunately now you know that's not always the case. But the bottom line is these continue to get smaller, they're easier to plant, and that the old school look like. I can tell you before I put my credit card in any device, I touch it, I try to move it around, is it loose? Does it feel like it's been manipulated in any way? And if so, I'm going to use a different device. But now because these things can go inside, it's much more difficult to know if there is a skill.

least your captain in terms of liability. So stealing a credit card number, you know, I've had that happen before. I've lost credit cards. He just asked for a new one. And you just look at your transaction list to see if there's any fraudulent transactions and you go on your merry way. But if you get got your pin, you're screwed.

you know that that's stolen money. Somebody's paying for it, and it's ultimately us in the end with higher prices, higher insurance costs, et cetera. And you know, bottom bottom line I think really is you know, you should still physically inspect a device before you put your card in there. I also suggest that you try to use the point of sale systems, whether it's a gas pump or in a store or whatever, in the most highly trafficked places

where it's harder for them to manipulate it. You know, if you're at a gas pump right by the clerk where there's a lot of foot traffic, it's going to be harder to manipulate that than it with the one that's the furthest away and the most difficult to see, you know, same in a store, So keep that in mind. And then also things like tap to pay, which uses

near field communication. Now I'm not saying there's none skimmer out there that can't read that too, Brian, I'm just saying your average skimmer is trying to read the mag strip on the back of the credit card, you know, So tap to pay, Apple, pay, Venmo, that kind of thing. Although I don't use Venmo or any of those services, they have their own set of problems and no consumer protection.

You know, there are more secure ways, or go old school, which I know you're a subscriber to pay if you don't have any of these problems, good old cash.

end of the month, So period, end of story. That's it's a prudent way of going about life, at least from my perspective.

And there we go. We got Greg Landsman, Gang of five Landsman in the role, and by all accounts he's keeping his head down and not really doing anything.

wife as well as you know, Brian. She served her country proudly, and I think the future is bright for our country with the way that our military is again being prioritized.

And I have seen a lot of polls. Trump's popularity story is pretty high, and people are thoroughly appalled and upset about what we are learning and how and and and the revelations about where our hard earned taxpayers have been spent. And I find it posterous that the Democrats are at their screaming, bloody murder trying to defend programs like you know, circumcisions in Mozambique or whatever. I mean,

we have something that's completely out of control. These policies and programs are indefensible, and I have to imagine a lot of the Democrat voters in Hamilton County probably feel the same way. It's one of the reasons, you know, Donald Trump on his pledges when he was running for presidents to do exactly this made a lot of inroads into the Black community, the Hispanic community. Obviously, immigration had a large thing to do with that because it's impacting

the black and Hispanic communities also. So do you think do you hold out any hope that we could write the ship that is Hamilton County right now down the road orlanda.

sick and tired of it. And for those that are quote unquote upset with the way that the president the administration has been operating in trying to cut down the fraud, waste, and abuse in just his first month in office. This is what he ran on to your point, Brian, he ran on this campaign for two plus years. Everyone knew

that that was his mission. He was going to do what no other president has done in the modern era, and that was actually go in there into the belly of the beast and cut whether it's deregulation or cut federal spending. I mean the things that we uncovered with the millions of dollars that have gone into programs. You mentioned some of them, but I mean Sesame Street in Iraq,

a tune of twenty million dollars. You know, the waste it's created, this federal government that people were sick and tired of, that Americans were paying for, hard working taxpayers.

That Brian is democracy, indeed is a threat to democracy, you know, is these unelected career bureaucrats that hide behind civil servant status thinking that they answer to no one and are completely unchecked. It's not the way that our founding fathers intended. What they intended was that one person would run to get all the votes, hopefully a majority

of the votes across America. They would run on platforms, they'd be able to be elected as president of the United States, choose the people by advice and consent of the Senate to carry out the mission. And that's exactly what we're seeing now.

the same thing, yet they didn't deliver. The government just merely got bigger and the regulatory environment just got more difficult to deal with and navigate, and had they delivered on the promises, I just kind of scratched my head and kind of wonder theoretically if the Democrats would be screaming and yelling about if their Democrat president had the efforts.

fraud abuse, they would shrink the size of government. But no one's actually done it to the extent that President Trump is doing right now. He my gosh, we are He hit the one month mark yesterday of being the forty seventh president the United States, and the amount of money that we're already uncovering that are being saved for the American people. It's just astounding, and no one the only surprise that people should have is the speed at which he's doing it, and the people that he has

apt to lead. These government agencies are committed to the mission that they are there to, yes, serve the best interests of the American people.

That author also pointed out that he instructed the folks at Tesla to start literally removing every single component product in the cars until such point that they wouldn't work anymore in order to increase efficiency, weight and keep costs down. I mean, that's the point of Elon Musk being efficiency and getting rid of you know, unnecessary components.

Number One, in his first couple weeks, President Trump offered a incredible, never heard of deal for federal employees to essentially not go back to work and take an amazing six plus months before they can early retire and give them full benefit, full pay. I mean, that's unheard of. If he really wanted to, he would have fired those employees on January twentieth, but no, instead he offered a

great buyout. If you want to retire, you don't want to stay while this ship is moved, then by all means you know you can leave and will offer you a great benefits package for these employees have been laid

off in the last couple of weeks. They are probationary employees, and these employees that have entered into the federal workforce know that they are subject to a certain amount of time as a probationary employee that I don't know what the majority of people expect when they hear the term probationary, but working just in government in the past, is probationary means that you could be removed at will at any time.

You serve with the pleasure of the federal government or the agency you work for, and if the federal agency or the administration views that that is not the most efficient means for federal government, then you.

In the meantime, I want to mention affordable imaging services because your hospital imaging department just is outrageous in terms of what it charges for any kind of given image, echo cardiograms, mri, ct scans, ultrasounds, affordable imaging services. You have a choice when it comes to

your medical care. So why would you pay thirty five hundred dollars at the hospital when you can get an echo cardiogram at Affordable Imaging Services for a mere five hundred dollars and not that that's not money, but a mirror compared to thirty five hundred. If you need an enhancement, it's only eight hundred. That enhancement, of course, will cost you more at the imaging department at the hospital. You'll probably pay separate for the board certified radiologist to read

the image. You get that included in the low price, so five hundred dollars including the radiologist report. I like that a lot more, especially given it's a new calendar year and you got a huge chunk out of pocket liability, most notably for folks who are like under an Obamacare plan, or maybe you don't have medical insurance and that image will empty out your bank account.

You know, we had a meeting in price Field Chili. So what I want to do is just find these key businesses in these districts with the business owners that are hurting and really just have these events there and hear from.

Hyde Park are worried about impacting the community. Where are these people are going to park? But it's all a design to get people on buses. And I think it's really an affront to the single family property owner to know that, you know, held next door neighbor could sell their house and next thing you know, you're living in a next to a ten to twelve unit condomenty or rather apartment complex. Where are you on connected communities? Corey?

count Sky Johnson and Vice Mayor Kearney were there. And as we were there, I give it up for the councilmen mayor, they were kind of, you know, doing some crowd control with the very disgruntled people in the room.

But a lot of people showed up and you could tell that they are very frustrated with how this has been brought to the city, and so I was going through asking people questions, and I think the biggest thing is that if you take the cover sheet on top of these connected community policies that most likely were written by chat GBT, you would sit there and say, yeah, we kind of like bringing communities together, but yeah, we

like helpless in need, we like bringing business. But it's what they're trying to kind of sneak in through these policies, and what they're really trying to sneak in through.

of any litigation, and you're waging against them. I mean, you know that seems to be written on the wall or baked into the cake when you got out these outside developers building these units.

is in one of these buildings. And when you bring in developers and absentee landlords and all these things, it's taking away from the beauty and the character of our city. And also, I'll be honest with you, We've been in the West End and we have many people connected to us that are small time business owners. They can only flip one property at a time or have one business location at a time, and they are hungry to utilize

these spaces to better the community. But these policies took out developers any of these small businesses that really want to utilize this. And so, yeah, you have thousands of vacant properties, but it's done by the hand of the city policies.

are not. Again, I turned back to Hyde Park, and I guess the idea is this is going to somehow make a housing affordable. I mean, I'm sorry, but I'm a little skeptical that any player in Hyde Park, regardless of who builds it, it's going to be affordable. Mean, lot of people love High Park. It's a beautiful neighborhood. It's safe, it's walkable, it's got a lot of businesses that you can just walk around, generally speaking. But if you build an apartment building there, the apartments are going

to fetch a pretty high rent. I'm willing to bet anyone.

all of the information they need to fix it. I don't care if you've got an exotic European car or in my case now a key. I tell you right, I haven't had it in there yet, but at some point it's going to go into foreign exchange for surface. I assure you or our old CRV they kept that thing running north of one hundred and fifty thousand miles, and yes, it's still out there in the world running.

My son has it now. But the point is you take it there, you get a full warranty on partson service, and you have more money in your pocket than had you taken it to the dealer, and sometimes a substantial amount more in your pocket. They just don't charge as much. But it's a great opportunity for you to have your car fixed for less and be happy about it. Foreign x dot Com form the letter x dot com online again.

seventy five heavy from Buttermilk to Dixie. Chuck Ingram on fifty five KR see the talk station seven fifty three fifty five KERR CD talk station. Happy Friday to you remember looking forward to the next conversation after the top of the our news Christopher Pihoda. He is a PhD, also formerly with the FBI. Twenty five year FBI special agent retired as one of the bureau's eight most senior career executives. We're going to get his thoughts and feelings

about the FBI's organizational change. He's author of the book Wanted the FBI I Once Knew, apparently described as an inside his view that tells a cautionary tale of how the FBI, once was one of the world's highest performing organizations, could fall victim to leadership atrophy, cultural erosion, complacency, and core mission distraction. Perfect timing to have Christopher on the program given the Cash Battel was confirmed in a narrow

vote fifty one forty nine. Cash Betel is the FBI Director, and even Senator Mitch McConnell i think it had previously expressed some reservations voted yes. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, of course voted no, which we've come to expect from them. But swirling in controversy, Cash Betel got the job, and

so we can keep our fingers crossed that he can. Well, we'll right the ship if I may be so bold as to say that, because I have a lot of respect for the FBI, but we've learned a lot over the Biden administration years in the Obama administration years that it does house it does somehow seem to be highly politicized. Oh yeah, and let's not overlook the Trump's first term and some of the shenanigans. We'll see what Chris has to say about that.

In his earlier career, he was with the US government senior executive service official. Retired from the FBI after twenty five years. And I just mentioned part of the FBI Science and Technology program he was a one point director of the US government twenty four hour Global Terrorist Screening Center, also Special Agent in charge of the FBI's Buffalo, New

York Field office. In his early career, he worked on programs and areas regarding counter terrorism, counterintelligence, technical programs, physical and informational security, weapons of mass destruction, intelligence collection. I could go on, we wouldn't be able to talk about his book Wanted the FBI. I once knew how to restore faith in the world's premieer long enforcement agency. Chris Pihota, Welcome to the Morning Show. It's a pleasure to have you on.

this in the book Wanted the FBI. I once knew.

And as all things in the government do, they start with good intention and then move into other areas of mission creep and then a lack of mission focus after a while, and what we saw was certain decisions were being made that led the FBI to becoming what we what I call corporatized. There were a lot of private sector, private sector approaches, private sector ideas brought into the FBI to change its culture after nine to eleven, and the corporatized FBI moved away from the beliefs and values and

practices that made the FBI legendary leading up to that point. Well, I think we threw out the baby with the bathwater.

Is that part of the challenge the FBI faced in this culture shift, dealing with the realities of this wide, open and insecure systems that we have.

limit the criminal activity and effectiveness. So what we found also was that the national security threat environment changed with the Internet as well when it came to terrorism and counterintelligence activities. So the FBI had a lot of searching to do when it came to looking at how we're going to protect the American people while still upholding the constitutional freedoms that our society enjoys. And it was a difficult transition.

investigator versus being an insubordinate investigator. So it's a fine line you walk, and people will voice their displeasure and their disagreement, but ultimately, if it's a lawful, legal order that comes from the White House to the Attorney General, from the director of the FBI, the folks are going to grit their teeth and still do their best to you know, conduct a mission and protect the American people.

But the FBI, and it's in its last iteration again, allowed its own personal at the leadership level, allowed its own personal ideas and beliefs to form some of those relationships that were to me unhealthy and took took us down a bad path toward that I would call almost you know, a certain level of censorship.

the right guy for right now. He has the confidence of the Chief Executive and the Attorney General, and I think he actually wants to be part of a foundational change of the FBI, and he wants to be part of that return of the FBI to being that trusted and dependable organization that so many people counted on for decades. And you know, he wants to return the FBI to the trust of the American people. So I think he

has a good background. He understands the threat environment that the FBI will be working in with him, and I think he's got to form a senior leadership team around him to help him make some of those foundational changes. Those are one of his.

What we saw over the past four years was a series of distractions from the core mission set, and we also saw again the substitution of some of the senior leadership's personal political ideas and ideologies and personal preferences versus the objective, apolitical, skilled investigative work that the FBI was known for.

therein lies the challenge. We know that CCP has hacked into all kinds of our operations, both in private industry but also into the federal government. You're an expert in security matters like cyber operations and security practices. Do you view this as significant a threat? Is at least I perceive it to be, And if so, what can we possibly do about it?

the military gets accused of fighting the last war. We can't be stuck in the last threat environment. We have to look at what we have now when it comes to international adversaries and opponents versus the internal threat that is now within our borders. You said the unchecked migration of unvetted personnel. These people have come to the United States, some seeking a better life, some looking to be here for I would say, reasons that are not good for

our communities. And the FBI has to reallocate its resources, reprioritize its operations, and look at its current partnerships with other federal, state, and local law enforcement to go out and find these people and quantify the threats to our communities and keep everybody safe.

United States is a relatively soft target. These people come from hard, hard lives, and they come from rough places, and the United States has always been a fairly high trust, high security community, and they come from different places that we're not used to certain behaviors and activities, and I think we're going to find that the American people are going to be subjected to increase crime, violence, and possible, as you said, terrorism, Not to mention the national security

counterintelligence espionage activities that largely go on quietly but also damage our national security and welfare.

thirty here fifty five kr CD talks today. What a happy day it is to be listening to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Wonderful guest leading up to the final guests of the morning, and thank God for Bill O'Reilly. I cannot encourage my listeners enough to go to Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly, welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. My friend, you have an unbelievably informative web page there. I want to applaud you on what you're doing. Well.

not wrong, it's evil. It's changed now the media strategy. So my job is basically not sheerly donald Trump. We don't do that, no, but to put it to perspective things that he does, so that people can make a decision based on reality. And that's why we're successful. On Bill O'Reilly dot com has now it's almost eight years and the thing is the most successful independent news site in the world.

doers that couldn't put them all on the cover. And that book is going to be very controversial, that's for sure, because you're going to learn things about Everybody thinks they know these evil doers, but you really don't know how the extent of what they did. And so we're editing that now, actually going to turn it in next week to the publisher.

and grabbing moms who've been here for ten years. They're going after criminals, child rapists, for example. And the left and the Democrats that are out protesting this are trying to defend the indefensible. I really can't imagine any human being of any political stripe wanting a child molester in their neighborhood if that person came here illegally and could be easily ejected from our country.

enforcing it. And just as you just said, you have fourteen million people allowed in by Biden, well, ten percent of those people are going to be heinous criminals. That's ten percent of every group is evil. So that's one million, four hundred thousand, all right, that are running around causing trouble. And the problem is that when ice raids and when they go in, there are undocumented migrants who do not

have a criminal record that are swept up in the raid. So, for example, they are living with the bank robber, they are living with the drug dealer. A lot of women are in this category and they have a child. Well, that woman and child, they're swept up. They're taken because they're in the residence with the dope dealer. The press cleaves that off and says, oh, look at this, this

woman never did anything, and they're burtner. How dishonest is that they don't explain that the woman has a relationship with the drug dealer. So what are you supposed to do? And I could give you a hundred examples of that kind of press dishonesty, and I do on the No Spin News every day. I mean, it's what we do because we have to protect Americans from falsehoods.

to programs that on their face are indefensible. And yet and and and the second component of that is nobody knows if the money actually went to any given program to accomplish the goal that was stated in the grant. They don't follow the reality. And it seems to me just a bunch of bribes, kickbacks, and payoffs for a bunch of organizations, either here within the country or out in the world. They're just soaking up the American taxpayers dollars.

That drives him absolutely crazy. And what he did was he said, look to Musk you find out the most extreme examples and our presented to the American people, and we'll try to clean this thing up to some extent.

street show, let them put it on. Why do we have to put it pay for it?

When you see that, if you just are a casual political observer, you're like, wait a second, what, there's people on the Social Security roles that are one hundred and fifty years old. How can that be? The things underwater? The CBO has been warning about it for decades. Nobody lifts a finger to try to salvage the system that so many people think that's what they're going to have to rely on in retirement. That angers a lot of people, sure, and.

The COVID stuff was insane, absolutely Okay. Trump is trying to bring in a new paradigm for these agencies where they have to apply some kind of discipline, They have to get rid of the ivy logues, they have to hire people who are going to watch the dough. Now is he going to succeed? Partially because it should. The problem is just to mammoth. But he's doing the right thing.

But again, the press is so hateful toward him. They're never going to say that, They're never going to report on him fairly, and therefore many millions of Americas think the guys the devil because they don't really pay attention to what's actually happening.

He said, no, that's not going to be possible because New Zealand will go down the toilet too.

but that's the accurate picture. So the Democratic Party again doesn't seem to understand that you cannot tax people anymore than you are now. And then Bernie Sanders and these social is, Oh, the brillionaires, and that's a bunch of garbage. There are very few of those people. The bulk of the tax receipts are working class, blue collar folks. Who cannot pay anymore. So you've got to cut the waste and the massive spending, which is what Musk has been tasked to do well in.

That's what Trump has, and if he does well, then Vance will be the next president, because I don't think the Democratic Party is going to be able to recover in you know, the forty seven months that Trump has well.

Of Bill I'm already looking forward to September when your new book comes out, so you'll be back on the Morning show and we will talk about it after I read it, because I always read your books before we talk.
