55KRC Thursday Show - RestoreWellness, HEART 4 Seniors, DAV, Caroline Topperman, Jay Ratliff

Merry Christmas here. I'm gonna call home and Christmas morning and tell my family Merry Christmas because we all suck and we spend too much and we're running our country into the toilet. Okay, I got it out of my system. Let's start with them. Rundown this morning, and a happy Friday Eve to you. George Brenneman. We had a little miscommunication yesterday, No big deal. George Brendman's gonna join us

in studio talk about politics and stuff and things. A great guy got a great insight George Gtt, and he's been on the program so many times over the years. I've lost track as I close out again my eighteenth year. I just still can't believe that. It seems like just yesterday when my dad sat me down and said, Brian, do not take this job that they've offered. You don't do it, like expression of his frustration with his corporate masters. Joe, do you think my dad was trying to tell me

something with that along those lines. I'm serious, you know, I said, Dad, you've been a radio for forty six years or whatever. The world's changing radio. He used to have such a good time radio apparently, and the whole industry was a riot. It was fun. It was games, people setting fires in the hallway, running around naked and doing crazy stuff. Randy Michaels, he's out there somewhere. It

was fun. And then of course the laws came. I'm reminded of Telegraph Road if you're familiar with the lyrics of that song. Then came the lawyers, Then came the rules, and of course the NBAS came along. And I said, Dad, that's been my work environment my entire life. I've worked for control freaks and nbas and my entire life. So you know, I'm not missing out on anything. I just moving over from one group. It's the ones you know versus the ones you don't know, and how many people

get an opportunit. I need to try it out, I said, try it out. Mark Twain, Right, you regret the things in life you don't do, not the things you do. I said, I'll keep my law license and I can always go back to practicing laws. So that's how I ended up arriving the decision over my dad's very very very very very strong words of discouragement about taking this job. So I'm happy to have accomplished and fulfilled eighteen years.

And I appreciate I appreciate each and every one of the folks that listen to the program more than you can ever imagine, because I'm not responsible for millions of dollars in other people's money anymore. It's a pressure job. Being a lawyer is not necessarily an easy thing, trust me on that, But neither is this Anyhow. Every job has its ups and downs, and I just want to thank everyone for at least allowing me to be here

on the morning show for the last eighteen years. I got three years left in the current contract or two plus one, depending on how you look at it. And as long as Joe Trekker is the executive producer of the program, you can count on me showing up to work. Roger King's going to be in studio Hearts for Seniors Foundation.

We'll learn all about that with Roger King at seven oh five, followed by the Disabled Veterans of America Dan Claire, chief Communications offer Officer for the Disabled Americans for a ve Disabled American Veterans. So I'm going to talk about the DAVY boot Camp Patriot boot Camp helping veterans transition into private sector and grow and own small businesses. Wonderful, wonderful concept. We'll see, we'll learn about it and see if there's something you and I can do about it.

Eight oh five with Carolyn Topperman with the book Your Roots Cast a Shadow. And finally it is Friday Eve and you know how much I love talking to Jay Ratliffe. Hell of a great guy. Enjoy our conversations so much so. Eight thirty with Jay Ratliffe, like every other Thursday at

eight thirty, iHeartMedia Aviation Expert. We may get a comment or two about the market reaction to the Fed's announcement about the rate cut and the likelihood that there won't be that many Next year, airlines finally required to provide protection for passengers traveling with disabilities. We'll hear about the danger of lithium batteries, which I mentioned yesterday. About the

guys the boots that caught on fire. He had heated his souls, insoles, and his boots he got off Amazon there made by some Chinese manufacturer, and they gave him second and third degree burns when they well literally blew up on his feet or caught on fire. So this story story described his feeling. These looks an intense heat. It looks that in smoke is billowing out of his boots.

A hospital visit ensued, and I mentioned the handwarmers that I got from my wife, and since I didn't have my cell phone yesterday, I left it at home, thus depriving me of two factor authentication and access to my email. Anyway, I got home to find out she had texted me, well, I'm going out with a dog this morning. It's cold out, but I'm not taking my handwarmers with me. Thanks to

the story, you read. So anyway, whether those will ever be used again remains me seen, but I found them quite useful when I was out of camp at orready shooting fifty BMGs on a cold and windy morning. So anyway, we'll also get hub delays from Jay Ratler that al at eight thirty I love hearing from you. Please feel free to call five one, three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk go

with Town five fifty on AT and T phone. Yes, drones are still in the news as well as everything else. But let's take a quick look at the spending bill and going through the comments, some of which are sides splittingly funny in spite of the fact that the well, the predicate for the comments is not funny in any way, shape or form. And that's the ridiculous fifteen hundred plus page spending bill that gets us through March and also includes a whole bunch of great provisions that you and

I would probably find offensive. If we're saying that will be me and my listening audience, including giving Congress a raise or some massy Yesterday people call me Nustra Thomas for accurately predicting Speaker Johnson would use the Christmas recess to force a massive spending bill through Congress after claiming he would not. Johnson is embracing a DC tradition that's

nearly as old as decorating Christmas trees. Amen. He put a video up with Speaker Johnson saying in September that there would be no Christmas omnibus, and himself over the years highlighting how often Congress comes down to the wire before the holidays past government funding legislation, which is every single year. Now, what do we know it's gonna happen next year? There's supposed to be twelve appropriation goals. We're

supposed to complete them before the year. Is that they know that they knew that ten years ago, fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, and they knew it every single year

going forward. And why are we on the uh, Well, the moment before Congress goes on, Reesa's dealing with an extension of the federal government until March because they're incompetent, maybe because they don't care, because this is easier and they can stuff a whole bunch of unnecessary crap, including raises for themselves because well it's the last minute, we all got to go home for Christmas. That means they've failed in their job. Again, listen, this is part of

their job description. And I bet you if you go to work, I bet your job has some sort of description, or you know what your responsibilities are and you're supposed to accomplish them, or it results in your being fired. Like, for example, I have to be here in front of the microphone at least by five or five? Oho?

goes on holidays. Quote, they always say, if you vote for this, you can go home and open presence with your family, and if you don't vote for this, we're gonna be here over Christmas because the optics are bad. He also added that no, but he's going to bring their family to dec over Christmas, so they're, you know, like the Grinch. Some people call me Nostra Thomas for predicting this. We could find clips with me predicting this every year. It's not a prediction, it's just how the

swamp works. He also said he's not going to be voting for House Speaker Mike Johnson for the next Congress either, and that also does not shock me a bit. He said, Mike Johnson just gave me another fifteen hundred and fifty seven reasons not for vote for vote for him.

millions of pages of them. You'd have to go there to find out what the change is in the Omnimus Bill to have any context for what we're reading in the one thousand, five hundred and fifty seven page document that's sitting on your desk. Massy further stated, we get the same lump of coll right before Christmas every single year. They will literally tell you, if you don't vote for this steaming pile of pooh, you're going to be here

over Christmas break. I love Congressome Massy. He compared the practice of doing this or doling out aid for foreign countries, which the bill does. US foreign aid spending is like watering the neighbor's yard while your house is on fire. Be that Grandma Swimming responing responding to that, So, no, No, it's worse because, unlike a household, US government actors are spending other people's money to do it. Like you know, it's your water bill, watering your neighbor's grass while your

house is burning down. This is spending your money to do well, exactly what you big. Grandma Swimming pointed out he was on a WADC radio interview. Quote, Massy, again, I have Republican colleagues who'd rather run over their own mom with a car then to vote to cut spending. Just a tip of the iceberg on the comments on this one, folks. Let's see if they'll be in DC for Christmas five eighteen fifty five kros De Talk station or is there a plan? B Elon Musk had a

few choice words for it as well. Don't go away, I'll be right back after these brief words, see even a happy one. T You're gonna go straight to the phones five one three eight hundred two to three Talk Contact fifty on eighteen T phones. Hey Kevin, welcome to the program, and happy Friday eve to you.

It wasn't you know. There's a difference. So domestic terrorism comes with its own set of specific requirements you must meet in order that you got to go to court and prove. So I guess maybe did he have an intent? Did he have an intent to disrupt traffic? Or was he just being an idiot lighting a fire that ultimately melted a bridge? I mean, I can't imagine anybody in his position.

one thing. If he just lit a fire intentionally to be an arsonist, not knowing that it would melt the bridge, then you probably won't meet the predicate of domestic terrorism because you had no intent of burning and melting a bridge. So you got to keep the two separate. Is it a crime that he committed Absolutely, What level or degree of crime again goes to the whole point of like murders at first degree, second degree, third degrees at manslaughter,

there are criminal elements that must be met. And I seriously doubt that anybody in his position would understand metallurgy and temperature and how hot that fire could get, and that the materials that were the springy element that did the shredded tires that help kids prevent themselves from having injuries when they fell, would actually ignite and reach those temperatures.

I sure as hell wouldn't. I mean some fire marshal, if a fire marshal actually lit the fire, probably would have the skill sets, the knowledge and information to know that, yeah, this fire could melt the bridge, and that's why I'm lighting it. I want to disrupt traffic. I want to stop commerce and industry from flowing on a federal bridge. That person might be charged with domestic terrorism, But again I don't know what the elements of domestic terrorism are,

so ultimately I can't answer your question. But these are the types of things you need to keep in mind when you're making when you're wondering about the question. Can't deny that the questions legitimate. I'm just telling you, I really seriously doubt it that that guy knew that the bridge would melt. Five twenty five fifty five carcit De talk Station. Feel free to call if you got a comment, love to hear from you. Got local stories coming up as well, and again George Reneman Studio at six oh

through intimidation, coersion, assassination, kidnapping, or mass destruction. Point of fact, did the guy have an idea, ideological motivation for starting the fire, whether or not he intended it to melt the bridge or not? Was the fire itself intended to course influence the government? I tend to doubt it in

that particular case. The other description domestic terrorists or Americans who commit violence to achieve their goals that stem from domestic extremist ideological influence or lack and lack foreign direction or influence. So I don't see that here. I haven't heard an iota of information. Now, maybe the guy did have a political motivation in doing it. If so, then it may fall into something you might characterize as domestic terrorism.

So you see, the elements must be met. Will the guy be charged with arson?

Streker and Thomas family. Thanks. As most people in the Tri State will be opening up presents on Christmas Morning or maybe Christmas Eve, we get a present every Monday through Friday Friday from five to nine of radio excellence, and I would like to thank you once again.

wonderful cribbage games, a listener lunch and just everything about it. Man, it's just it's it's it's it's good to me, me brother, And you were one of the reasons I can say that out loud.

So we're going back decades and I don't ever remember Sunset being what I would call reasonably drivable, and it's gotten so bad it's as if they just forgot it existed. Last time I drove over to Pryce Lil Chili for listening to lunch, I'm like, you know.

subsidizing the Anderson Ferry. Throw all three ferries on. At least get people from the side over to Boom County something not just crickets. And I know he has aspirations of other political office, and whoever runs against him ought to look at this last seven weeks and it's probably going to be another four to six weeks, and just run this and say, okay, do you want this guy to be a congressman, mayor center whatever. The guy's an embarrassment, and.

Appreciate the kind comments, Mike, I really do. And blessings to you and your beautiful better half and your entire family. I'll have a merry Christmas. It's five thirty five right now, fifty five KRST talk station five one three seven four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three Talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones and do not forget fifty five KRC dot Comedy Can't listen Live, great show yesterday we talked to Judge Topolitano, which was

I loved that conversation about the drones. Todd Zen's are brilliant man. Speaking of bridges and roads, we talked that whole Brent Spence Big Bridge project, and boy did we get a heapload of insight from Todd Zenzer on that one.

three others. Described as the latest growing wave of hyper violent crimes that have been plaguing Mexico, while the government claims the country has improved in public safety. Happened on Sunday night at the outskirts of Men's and Ilio City in Kolima. Group of unknown individuals hosting the clandestine cockfight frasing group of men arrived the ranch and began shooting into the crowd, phrasing oh wow, Joe, I think you might have pushed the limits on that one. Government officials

haven't released any information about the incident. Unofficial accounts point to four men dying in three others being shot. State military forces responded to the scene and had a clash where the gunman as the group fled. Obviously, people had phone videos of the shootout, which have been shared on social media. Because of the silence and state authorities, it remains unclear how many the fatal victims died from the attacker or how many were gunmen who died during the

confrontation with the officers. Shootout comes at a times when mass shootings targeting crowds become more prevalent throughout Mexico at a time government officials have been able to do little to address the trend. Huh is cock fighting illegal and messizing? I know you're not allowed to have these things here in the United States, at least as the term is described in websters. I don't understand bear hunting. You know, I understand hunting to a certain degree. I had a

lot of friends at hunt. I'm not a hunter myself. I have been bird hunting before, pheasants and that kind of thing, but never been deer hunting. Never really had any desire to go. I mean, I'm well equipped to go deer hunting, It's just not something that appeals to me, you know. Gimme clay pigeons every day, gimme targets down range, give me steal to shoot at. I am extremely happy,

but I don't know if I have to though. See, I had the skill set so I have to feed my family in times of well distressed or whatever, then I'm able to do it. But I never have understood wanting to shoot a bear unless the damn things chasing after me are trying to kill me, in which case I'm acting in self defense. Would have no remorse over it, so I kind of view this one as a bit of instant karma. A Virginia hunter is now dead after a bear shot by one of his fellow hunters fell

out of a tree and landed on him. This event occurred on December ninth, just recently reported. Incident unfolded as a group of hunters were tracking a bear and ran it up a tree. See and that just makes it an easy target. The bear is afraid, it ran away from you, It stuck up in a tree. I couldn't pull the trigger on the poor thing. One of the hunters then shot the animal and it fell on fifty

eight year old Lester Harvey. He was transferred to the hospital in the serious with stable condition, but succumb to his industry injuries. New York Posts noted that Harvey was a married father of five with eight grandchildren. Feel sorry

for the family. I feel sorry for the man, but honestly, I still view this as a sort of instant Carmen Thing Post pointed out that the bear hunter North Carolina was injured in twenty nineteen when a bear that had been shot fell out of a tree and then began biting the hunter, which seems like a logical consequence of the bear still alive. But after that, the bear and the hunter tumbled off a cliff, leaving the hospital of

the hunter hospitalized and sadly the bear dead. You draw your own conclusions, and we go to Chicago headline thanks to the New York Post. Chicago travelers whack each other with wet floor signs in wild caught on video broad Airport. A group of travelers and one employee threw punches, grabbed hair, and whacked each other with wet floor signs and a wild caught on camera brawl, as New York Post describes, reminiscent of a WWE match inside Chicago O'Hare International Airport

last week. In the video shared on social media, the fight shows three men's including a man including an employee in a blue shirt, seemingly teeming up against one man in a white T shirt inside American Airlines Terminal three. The men punch each other used the yellow floor signs as weapons, smacking each other in the head and body as the sound of plastics slapping echoed through the terminal. As the three gang up on one man in the white shirt, he knocks one to the floor yanks out

several dreadlocks from another guy's head. Two of the men armed with the wet floor signs follow the man in white as he steps back, still holding the dreadlocks he had doubt in his hands. The man on his own lifts some metal stanchion behind him and threatens the others, finally dispelling the violent encounter. As the others back off. Chicago police shut up to the servance, made no arrests

and no report was generated. Not clear what prompted the fight and if the employee involved was a staffer for the airport, an airline, or a vendor inside the transit hub.

are still stuck in space. It's supposed to be like there for nine days or something, and they're gonna end up being up there until March. And I don't know how you would feel about that. I don't ever consider myself a claustrophobic person, but every single day being up there and being incapable of getting back home. This is one of the reasons I don't like cruise ships. Yeah, I look over the railing like I want to go over there. I want to go over there, and it's

out of your control. You're stuck. One of the reasons why I don't know airline fly well, multiple reasons. I don't like flying on planes, and no, I'm not afraid of air travel. It's just that I don't like being stuck. I like to be in control of, like, for example, an automobile. Just thinking the only way I could survive someone was like, I wonder how the food supply and

I just are you kidding me? If you didn't have like a car loads worth of xanax and vodka, I couldn't survive that log Stuck in a tin can, I can't get out of anyway related to absolutely nothing. Speaking of liquor, we got to Columbus so High. We have a north side funeral home serving mourners in a new way alcohol. The Evergreen Funeral Cremation Reception, set to open next year, applied for a liquor license and could be serving people during services. Owners, speaking with local news WSYX,

said the unique twist to the celebration of life. They want to change how people view an average funeral. They want to make the process of a very difficult time a little easier. According to Hunter Triplett, I guess the owner, my role in this position is to kind of be a party planner for the dead, be more of a celebration of life and more of a multi day traditional service which costs a lot of money. He wants to shed the business reputation of being dark and morbid, offering

manageable prices and the option for mourners to drink. According to the High Liquor Control site to permit, if approved, would be for a three a D three license, which in Ohio allows to sell of beer, wine, and hard liquor for consumption on site. He said, we'll only be serving alcohol when people are on this premises and remain on the premises until the continuation of the services just for the safety of the people and the community around,

he said. Adding a bar will allow people to make the service more personal lives, which is a okay with me. We said, cremate me and have a giant party, said, I want a lot of liquor flowing and a lot of app have a good time, play some music, have good time, celebrate life, and don't mourn. That's perfect with me. And then just sprinkle my ashes around where people are

having a good time my wishes anyway. Three two year old New Jersey woman charged with killing her mom during an argument Monday, used the curtain rod, hammer and screwdriver during the attack. According to the Burlington County Authorities, details of the brutal slang including an affiday but a probable cause filed against Brianna Beecham charging with murder and a

weapons offense or offenses. Beacham On was on top of her mother, Kim Beacham Hanson fifty seven, when police arrived at the house on Hope will Wayne about well almost four o'clock in the afternoon. According to the court documents, another person in the residence was upstairs doing homework when she heard Beacham Harrison or Hanson screaming for help. Witness saw Beacham beating her mother before she left and called nine one one, Why are you doing that? No idea?

Beacha Hanson pronounced dead at four thirty six pm, just shortly after the officers arrived. She told Beacham Total Detectives. She struck her mom with a curtain rod and hammer before stabbing her with the screwdriver. She was temporarily residing at her mother's home. That's it, so I won't be an answer able to answer my own question. I will be able to confirm though, that George Brunman will be

in studio since I'm staring at him. Good to see it, George, looking forward to our conversation during the six o'clock hour, folks. I hope he can stick around for that should be a good time and informative on new year and a new president.

he would do the Christmas Celebration. I'd come in and of course continue that tradition year after year, and without Rob Rider and his guitar, it just wouldn't be the same. So thankfully Rob Wrider will be in studio tomorrow with me and we'll be inviting phone calls and celebrating the Christmas tradition, obviously dusting off Vince Garaldi's Christmas album because it is the only sanctioned Christmas music for the fifty five KC Morning Show without further ado in studio from

restoring Liberty dot Us. Check it out online. They do great work and we're gonna learn all about it, including learning about the holiday buffet at the farm tonight. You're invited. Welcome back to George Brunman.

I care about our country need of me. I'm like you, I freedom, liberty, the founding principles of our country all just being wiped away before our very eyes. And it was that would have been the end.

it's crazy. The interesting thing to me is two things. Really, there was no violence afterwards.

qualified little L libertarian. I know I'm not a Republican. I'm a little L libertarian. And one of the reasons I'm not a Republican is because of that crap that they just put out in terms of that bill, that spending bill. We're gonna we can talk a little about that about that. But I was extremely critical of Donald Trump in the first term because of his Twitter feed, because of his just inability to just keep his mouth shut with regard to any criticism that was levied his way.

A lot on his plate he could have risen above. It was one of the things. He was a lightning rod, and anytime he opened his mouth and provided more fuel for the fire left and whatever he was going to say or do was going to be criticized and demonized anyway, but he just kind of added to it, and I kept it, doesn't he have an advisor? Doesn't he have someone who can take his phone away? Doesn't he have

someone who can manage the Twitter feed or whatever? And the answer was obviously no. Now you're right, he's a different guy. He is more presidential, and when he does say things, there isn't There is a really great sense of humor about some of the things he says, which otherwise would have been lightning rods for left wing attacks on him. So he's kind of managed to balance responding

and being funny. And of course it's almost like he's already in office considered, oh golly, yeah, I mean, Mexico's already changing what they're doing. Canada's in trouble because of what he's already saying, but the fact that he's now just sort of setting in place. I want these people in charge, Elon Musk and Vivak Ramaswami.

a new bird flu outbreak. I mean, you know what what else the piling on all over the place. They gave themselves a raise and better healthcare somehow, I don't know how you get Yeah, they got out of Obamacare. They freed them. They never have been That's true, but I mean, anyway, there's a number of ways we can criticize that monstrosity, but apparently the plug has been pulled on it. You know what, I hope they have to be in Columbus, in Washington, d C. For for Christmas.

I deserve to be in Washington, D C. For Christmas. I don't know.

the Corporate account or Corporate Transparency Act CTA. It's only applies to small business. It was supposedly for honors associations. My wife's the treasurer. She had to put the documents together for the damn thing. That for our homeowners association. We got ten houses. Wow, that's it.

and then lost the mid terms. I think if unemployment goes down, actual employment goes up among Americans, not just foreigners, I think he could win an even bigger majority in the House.

a Restore Wellness program which should be rather interesting. George and I have a lot to talk about. I hope you'll enjoy the conversation. It's time for me to mention something that you will enjoy, and that's paying a hell of a lot less money for your medical insurance. But in spite of the fact paying a lot less getting better coverage now, you can benefit from just using a few moments of your time and making a phone call or filling out a form on a website that does

not obligate you to do anything at all. It doesn't cost you anything. There's no money exchanged here. Let cover Since he look at your current medical insurance. Whether you're a small business or an individual, you're paying too much. You can't afford the nine thousand plus out of pocket liability for you and then the other nine for your family.

Under Obamacare, you need to talk to John Roman and the team at Cover since he they're saving people thirty to sixty percent while providing them with better medical insurance coverage that does include in many cases dollar one coverage. You get to go to your doctor without having to shell out money. It's an amazing concept, and I think John is the only person on the planets that being able to navigate the healthcare system so much that he can figure this out and let these benefits flow to you.

I mean, it's what gets him out of bed every day, the smiles on people's faces that he brings by telling them what they're going to be paying in the future and what the benefits are going to be with medical insurance. But it's it's beyond that. I mean, he has great advice for you know, anticipating life insurance and your children's going forward needs. And he'll look at your your situation and everybody's different. So if you're a small business owner,

you got let's say twenty employees. Every single employee will be looked at differently. More than two hundred insurance companies, thousands of insurance policies. That's what he's got access to. But he works for you and not them. It's worth the phone call. Trust me on this five one three eight hundred two two five five five one three eight hundred call. The form can be filled out online to

a criminal. But what I really found interesting from the Republican Party perspective in Hamilton County in twenty ten, every single judge came to the meetings, every of the sheriff came to the meetings.

ever met. He does, and he's really trying to help. But I'm hearing rumors that they're doubling down, They're going to go back to the same old main street crowd downtown that you know runs the party, And it's like, what are you running? You don't have a single Republican in the county or the city, not one. Well, okay, look, the problem is I think illustrated by Melissa Powers Loss.

She has a great record, amazing. She has done a great, great job for the community, the juvenile programs, the Drug Corps, the veterans programs's she a tough on crime prosecutor. Obviously she struggles with some of the liberal judges, but she's not laying down and letting criminals go. She's prosecuted to

the fullest extent of the law. And she ran against someone with zero experience, who has didn't even have her license last year, never law license even last year, hasn't been in the courtroom in ever a long long time, and did not have a campaign, none, didn't go out and public didn't do a town hall meeting.

guess they've just thrown in the towel. Why bother, why even try? But you know, you say, we want to have Melissa Powers. She was out all over the place.

respectful of you the homeowner. They'll show up on time, and you'll know they'll show up on time because they'll let you know ahead of time how long it's going to be before they get there. I love that phone call because I hate a window. Now you get a window when you call. It's like, well between eleven and one, but you know, you get a phone call. I'm fifteen minutes out according to my GPS. You're like, okay, I know exactly when the doorbell is going to ring, which

is just a nice little extra perk. I think they'll send a photograph of the plumber, so there's no concerns for you when you know when there's person ringing on your front door. So if you've got problems with water pressure, leaky pipe, excuse me, leaky pipes, toilet issues, raining chandelier, which is my favorite joking, but it was a real example my own dining room. You need a plumber and that would be an emergency situation. And they do twenty

I choose knowingly whether or not to take it. Obviously, I'm referring to the COVID nineteen vaccine, which obviously has a massive number of problems, probably forced upon the American people. So but to say no vaccines across the board, and I'm not that guy, and he isn't saying that either.

activating something your body does. Anyway, fast forward to mRNA. See they're reprogramming your own DNA. They're now finding that the body is still producing spike proteins because of that little amount of mRNA they injected in you has now been incorporated into your DNA.

and that's what I've been doing. I want in a keto dyet. For a full month, I had no carbs and zero sugar, and I've allowed myself some carbs since then. H helped. I lost fifteen pounds in a month on that thing, by way, So if you want to lose weight, you know, go ahead and struggle and suffer like I did, and it sucks. I'm not going to tell you anything is great about the Keytot diet. You think eating a pound of bacon every day is fun and I didn't

even do that. But what you find is that the foods that you're allowed to eat on a keyto diet and then making you get bored, you get bored bored quickly. We've been doing it since July, and so my wife and I started down this path of looking at the new literatures out there.

They're targeting your brain's forty percent cholesterol. You start starving it, guess what, you lose your mind.

eighteen years old. So you know in high cholesterol number wise does tend to run in the family. I was even on those damn things for a while, and it's been decades since I got off them. But I don't view the cholesterol as necessarily evil. It's part of your

body and your and the fats are your brain. So have you taken all the fats out of your body is a dangerous thing geo logically speaking, The whole thing is that cholesterol was something that could measure, and by measuring it they can take it take action against it. But the real issue is, and what the literature is now saying, is blaming cholesterol for heart issues clogged arteries is like blaming firemen for house fires. Yes, cholesterol shows

up in all of these clawged gartery cases. Why because there's a tear in the artery and they're coming to fix that. It's like you know, when there's a fire in the house, you call the fire company and they come out and put out the fire. Cholesterol is nothing more than a reaction to inflammation. Inflammation is caused by seed oils, high fruitose, corn syrup, and carbs, and so we're going after the wrong thing. It's really interesting, So

we started down that path you just talked about. It's when Keto, now that it's been like five or six months, we don't even really think about it at all, but every now and it's like, man, you know, I'd really like to have a soft dough preszel and you know what, baked potato and all. Your life's too short to completely deprive yourself of that. That's why I dropped the kto diet like a bad habit for Thanksgiving, yep. But I've stuck on the low, low, low sugar component and that's

actually been pretty easy to accommody. Once you ebb all the sugars, once you know what you can and cannot eat, it's pretty easy. And some of that substitution like instead of rice, use cabbage, right, and a multitude of different ways. But it's a good thing, and I'm glad you're encouraging it.

Your chimney can catch on fire as if you have a wood burner's creosote build up. That happens. You don't have to let it happen. You shouldn't let it happen. Get it fire, your fireplace inspected by the Chimney Care Fireplace and Stove, or your free standing stove, or any firebox you got something burning in,

have it inspected. Carbon Monoxide is a deadly silent odorless killer, and you could have a carbon monoxide problem with your fireplace if it's not venting properly or in the case of my firebox to want the builder special insert dangerous. That's what an inspection revealed. So I quit using that and I had the Chimney Care Fireplace and Stove install a new fireplace insert, which is absolutely phenomenal. They did that many years ago. I just love it to death.

You know, okay, I understand the first four ingredients like bread you need flour and eggs and you know, yeas, and then after that it's like fifteen ingredients, which like, what in the hell is FDC die number seven or whatever doing in there? So maybe that has some component to do with it.

But you're not talking out of school here. I know it's not doctor George Brenneman, but you do have a medical practitioner working with you on this ret or Wellness dot Org.

the people firsthand. So we're trying to put out information on you know, nutrition, on lifestyle, on all of the new literature on what's going on in the medical field. And the big difference is, let's stop focusing on which pill I take for which symptom and instead let's focus

on not getting the symptoms in the first place. There's the thought, and to me, that's the revolution that's happening right now is we're finally realizing, Hey, the fact that we got runaway obesity, run away heart disease, run away Alzheimer's. What if the cause isn't because we haven't come up with the right pill yet. What if the cause is what we're eating or the fact that we're not getting off the couch. So Restore Wellness dot Org we're doing

a couple of things different. We're going to really focus on getting some videos and podcasts out there. We've teamed up with a functional medical practitioner and guy named Keith Tennefeld. He's alt In Harrison. He got a rep for how

he was treating COVID. He was having huge success on keeping people off of respirators and treating them with ivermectin and you know ACQ and zanc So's he's an out of the box thinker, very very practical, entirely focused on what can you do to prevent disease as opposed to treat disease. And so Keith is part of our team now he's going to be with us on the podcast and on the videos. Uh, super excited. We're getting enormously positive feedback. We've contacted some of the authors of the

books that I mentioned on the website. We're going to have them on as guests. So I think we're we're onto something that could really help you know, the community as a whole, and you know, whoever else wants to, you know, listen in via the web on what we're trying to do here. But it's a local focus, but with a global concept in mind. We're really trying to

focus on how do you prevent heart disease. How do you make it so that, you know, when I hit sixty five this year and I'm feeling every inch of that sixty five, how do I make it so it doesn't get any worse from here, and in fact, it might get better. And you know, diets a big thing. Exercise is a big thing, but you got to be practical about it. So none of this is unattainable. It's all some very simple steps. It's just a matter of getting the information out there. So that's what we're trying

to do. I encourage everybody go to restore wellness dot org. We're going to start populating it come January. So we're really looking forward.

So you figure that one out. Brother, you are gonna hit a home run forever if you see it, because they should. I'm not see I know I'm not alone. Everybody's going.

as a hurting cat. Do you think that they would get along and play nicely and actually accomplish something on behalf of Ohioan's in the name of you know, our collective you're in my and my listening audience's belief systems, the message you know, smaller government, you know, a more better functioning government, and bringing about, you know, much needed legislation, like, for example, doing something about the insanity that is our real estate taxes. And they had an opportunity to do it.

And there's been actual legislation, fully crafted and vetted through committee laying on their desks now since last year and Lloyd Old got passed by the House. What's seventy seven to eleven or something like that. This this, this homestead relief would have helped the seniors, largely those who are on Social Security, and those are the ones that are worried about losing their property because their taxes won up thirty percent and that you Senate, well, you know it

just didn't do enough for they could have done. I'll take a little tiny bite. You would not know that we have super majority gop up in the ills. And what's even worse, property taxes are Like when you start talking to that, my blood pressure goes sky high because not only are they not helping the fact that you can't afford to keep your house, not because of the mortgage, but because of the property taxes. They're talking about getting rid of the income tax.

I don't know if it's past. The Senate yet just passed a thirty percent increase to all police and fire retirement funds. So every single township now has a thirty percent increase in their bill with no way to pay for it except increased property taxes. So not only are they not taking up action on the Homestead Act to help seniors and basically anybody else afford their homes, they're going after income tax, which is going to drive property

even higher. And now they're raising the costs associated with every community in the state with no way to pay for it. It's like they're totally tone deaf, and I don't know how we get rid of the fact that these people keep getting re elected and they have no idea what they're doing to harm their the voters, and it's just crazy. They just keep getting back up there and they just circulate through. I mean, just look at the west side. You go from the Senate to the House,

to the Senate to the House. We've got term moments, but nobody ever pays for it. It's it's absolutely bonkers. I don't know how we get Columbus in line. There's going to have to be I talk with Tom's Alistawski. I'm sure you've talked to Tom up in Portach County. Tom's thing is, next year, we're not backing any Republicans. The only people will back our independents. So we're going to go after school boards, township trustees, you know, all of the local stuff, and say, okay, I don't care

if you're a Republican or a Democrat. I want you to be citizen first and focus on what's really causing the issues.

And I'm looking forward tomorrow and celebrating Christmas. And I've been looking forward to this all morning. I have in studio Patty Scott and Roger King. They're with an organization called Heart for Seniors, and I'll recommend you check them out online. It's the word Heart with

a number four followed by seniors dot org. So we're gonna learn about this nonprofit and what they do for seniors, which is really an unbelievably important thing. Patty, Roger, Welcome to the fifty five Karasy Morning Show. I'm really happy you're able to come in studio. I love having face to face conversations. Thanks, Marian, you you're more than welcome. You can feel free to talk. Roger got shocked by the microphone. He grounded out. I think he's afraid of

it now. He's just had some static electricity built up. Like Roger, no one has ever been shocked by that thing. It doesn't have current flowing through it. You're okay, But how long? When did you start Hard for Seniors and more fundamentally, what was your motivation behind starting this organization?

years old and I'm facing it every day. And it's like when you look and see what's out there, from dehydration to UTIs to skin breakdowns, it's something that is ugly that nobody wants to talk about, and I really found there was no technology around it.

nothing that's out there that can hold them accountable. So I actually came to Roger, who's been in the healthcare industry forever, and I knew this all started when my mom fell and broke her hip, and at two am she called me because she was very continent, even though she had had the surgery, and she had been ringing the bell and ringing the bell and nobody came in.

but I walked around. I mean, the video is three to fo five minutes, no one at two am.

you know, thank God for my mom. I mean, she you know, worked herself to the point where she was almost in worse shape than my father at home, until the point where she really wasn't capable of caring for him twenty four to seven, because you know, it's a twenty four to seven.

or something like that. Now, these were you know, lower wage, sort of hourly employees, capable of maybe doing the cleanup work and doing the meal prep, but beyond that.

it needs to be alert response technology. And so I was very fortunate, I mean, with his trade association background and just all the expertise that he's had in all of his various companies.

give the quality of care I wanted. So that was extremely helpful for me to have gone through all that because today when I look at it, what I realized over time is ultimately we as a society, as a culture, we've failed our elderly people. Big Tech America has failed our elderly. Corporate America has failed our elderly people. We cannot rely on government regulations punishment to modify this behavior. To improve care. We have to in the private sector.

We have to get innovative we have to solve the problems and technology can do that. We've seen it here locally at Batavia a nursing Home. Batavia Nursing Home, they have done a wonderful job with some new technology. We're literally seeing on the patients who wear that technology zero UTIs, zero skin breakdown, very fast response times from the staff to deal with incontinence, care issues, hydration, things like that.

The concepts are being proven and I am just amazed and very very pleased with what I'm seeing.

of the quality and the expertise of the mechanics. They are ASU certified master technicians who will work on your car. You can actually talk to them too. I'm a guy, I'm a car guy, so I like talking to the mechanic that works on my car. Now you try that at a dealership and you're gonna be stuck with a sales manager. Now those guys are busy in the background, Rover. Now they got time for you. You're a great customer and they want you back, and you're in this friendly environment.

They treat their customers really wonderfully. You have foreign exchangemen going there for years and years. I literally save and I love pointing this out. I save more than two hundred dollars when I had my oil change there over the dealer. That's right. Save don't get a German car if you don't want to deal with that headache. But you know that's what I got, So that's what the cost it is. So but I love saving that kind

of money. And over the years, I know I've saved thousands of dollars with the Honda that we got to keep up and my wife's German car in mind. So whether your car is from a traditional European or Asian manufacturer, you're in the best hands. And let me point out, they're all trained on repairing and maintaining Tesla's now as well.

So talk to Austin crew at the Westchester location of Foreign Exchange Tylersville exit off seventy five, hang a right or go east rather two streets, then hang it right on Kingland Drive and you are slugging right at Foreign Exchange Westchester location. Look at them online, go to foreign axform the letteracts dot com. Please tell them, Brian said, how and you give them a call to schedule your appointment where you will pay lots of less money to have the car repaired, and you leave with a full

And Rogers set the stage given his long history of dealing with these facilities and helping out folks living in them, dealing with the breathing issues as he started out with, and he's got a long career, so he was the right man to tap for the job. We're talking technology, and how do we address the senior laying in a bed having soiled themselves

with no one around apparently to help them out. You were getting ready to explain this technology, Rogers, so let us learn from you.

the person soiled. And then the software creates a record of when and the event occurred, how long it took the staff to get there, and further than indicates which staff member responded for which resident, and then applies a reward system for that staff so they get extra bonus points and ultimately money for moving faster awesome in the form of gift cards and things like that. So what we're seeing with that system the way it's employed is average response times of about an hour, which is far

better than what we get using protocols. When you look at nursing home protocols, they're doomed to failure. They basically tell staff check on everybody every two hours. Like Epstein, you're supposed to check on people. Yeah, sure, Hony. In order to do that, the staff have to go into the room reposition that resident either peek or smell or touch. Right, we're avoiding all that waking people up in the middle of the night to do that. Now, when you look

at the numbers, it's interesting. I just looked at a facility that had about one hundred patients in it. Seventy of them were incontinent. When I do the mouth on that, I say, well, if you're going to check everybody every two hours, that's twelve times a day. That's over eight hundred times a day for fifteen nurse aides.

It may go deeper into the tissue. It may ultimately create a pressure ulcer which goes to the bone. You'll see urinary tract infections get involved. You're getting into your getting into potential sepsis and ICU stays and things like that. So this technology though, think about skin and urinary tract infections as an example, when you lay in urine in feces for hours, especially the female patients, that e coalies going into the urinary tract and we've got big problems.

if you didn't get there. So there, you know, we're keeping track of how long it takes, you know, and it's going to be a marker on your record if you let this person lay in there for a couple hours after the arm goes. But the idea that it has a reward system built into it, it is great. I don't know, man it and the record is there. You can show the patient's family, look how quickly we were able to deal with this and how often it happens, and it just is awesome.

a tachocardia bradacardia. It'll alert phones to the staff on that, as well as temperature device there. So you can imagine in some facilities somebody could have a fever for a long time before it's detected. We could have pneumonia developing, or some other viral infection things like that. There's work being done on some dressings with chips embedded that would alert staff to when a wound dressing needs to be changed because it saturated with exoday with blood. There's no

neglect there. It's it's it's basically the idea is use technology to identify potential needs, alert staff caring smart devices to go check that resident and assess and deal with that need, and then document with the software how well everybody did an alert went out, did they respond and how fast?

the Number four Seniors dot Org. Amazing stuff, wonderful developments technologically speaking, and a brilliant concept. I applaud both of you for this. Again. I keep thinking of my dad and what a wonderful thing that would have been if had they had this technology. Where he was and he was in again, I'm saying he was in really pretty good hands, at least in so far as these institutions are concerned.

donations to help expand these concepts. And locally here it's Batavia Nursing and Convalescent Center and Salem Woods has the technology now and it's the staff's doing wonderful with it, and we're really proud of what we're accomplishing there.

thanks for what you're doing. Good having you in studio too, and we'll get to uh guess we're going to take a break here and we'll be talking to the Disabled American Veterans Dan Clare, chief Communications Officer about the Disabled

American Veterans Patriot boot Camp coming up. Stick around, folks, be right back after I mentioned affordable medical imaging where you can get you know, CT scans, MRIs and all that stuff for very very low prices, save yourself thousands of dollars over the hospital imaging department where they will literally charge you thousands of dollars to get a CT scan. You get a separate bill for the for the board certified radiologists. How much a CT scan is without a contrast,

it's four hundred and fifty bucks. At Affordable Imaging Services, you get a contrast at six hundred. You know, that's like it's like ten percent of what you probably pay at the hospital. Just one illustration of the massive savings you can achieve. You have a choice when it comes to your medical care. It's really low overhead. I got a CT scan and affordable and so don't expect all

kinds of bells and whistles. But they got the same equipment the hospital has, so you what you're paying for is a bunch of bells and whistles, and of course you're helping the hospital pay for all that overhead that they have.

And there are a bunch of rip off artists out there, and every time I mention that, and they have been for years. It just irks me that there's these businesses out there that would take advantage of a senior or someone who doesn't want to get on their roof or really knowing thing about looking at what, you know, what what what a roofing problem might be. So they get on your roof, they don't find anything. They're not going to come down and tell you that you need to

buy something you do not. They're not going to tell you need a new roof when you don't need one. But if there's something wrong up there, they're going to find it and they're going to give you a great price to fix it. Ask my friend Steve about that. He had no idea he had a roofing problem. He called him to do his sighting work, so they expected

his roof. Of course they would, and they found some latent defects and got those fixed and he was really pleased, in fact, so please his son had an emergency he called. He got his son to call Fast and Pro and they were over there the very day he called them because rain was pouring down into his house. So you know, that's the kind of customer service you can expect from my friends at Fast and Pro. So get in touch with them, call them up for that free inspection. Five

But you know what, I don't know Jack squat about business as my friend. I have always been a W two employee and people can make fun of me for that.

But it just seems like such a challenge Dan to start a business and run it, Like I mean, is this the kind of thing? Are they going to be working with people who've been there and done that kind of thing?

five to fifty mentors. And those folks are coming right from our community, our CEOs, our local folks, just coalescing around these folks to give them the startup education that they need, the mentorship, access to resources, talking about funding, branding, all the things that they need to know. Some of the things that they lost that other business owners were kind of acquiring.

are they're mission oriented people. They're doing there, They're going into businesses that help their communities. It's an amazing program and I want to thank the entire I want to thank you in the entire Cincinnati area because we couldn't do it without so many great business leaders who participate well.

Everything DAV does we provide at no obligation or costs to veterans of all generations. Spouses are included in that. People just have to get here, and for people in this area, there's no excuse not to. You know, there's no hotel, no airfare. Just come on in and we're going to take care of you.

today a success story. I know there's somebody, some you know, some person out there who really made a go of this and has proven how wonderful this this boot camp turned out to be for them. Can you give us one of the success stories?

He's creating a shoe that is a hybrid road shoe running shoe, so it has the comfort trail shoe, so it has the comfort of a roadshoe, but you can take it off trail. Really helpful for veterans who like to get out there and run. And there's another person. He's looking to give back. He's looking to build shoes in America, give back to our economy, create jobs, and contribute. He's here in Cincinnati. Amazing company, great product. Just one of our great success stories, Alan Parvis.

If you are an entrepreneur, has been successful and you know how these things work, help out the American veteran, join the program and teach these folks the skills they need to be successful in the private world, because sometimes transitioning from the military into this private sector is not an easy thing to do, even if you're just pursuing it a typical W two job like me. They live

in a different world. They have that collective environment that they are taken out of and then thrown into this new, crazy world of those who have not been in uniform, and that transition is tough enough. But if you got the mind and you're interested in being an entrepreneur, it sounds like this is a wonderful way to go. Dan Claire, thank you for your service to our country and your

ongoing service to the American veteran. Keep up the great work, and I'll be looking forward to having you back to show some time and hear more about these success stories and further promote the Patriot boot Camp. Maybe we'll do that in advance of the May fourteenth to sixteenth program.

I was my mind was blown that we have such beauty here in the United States, but you don't experience these radical cultural distinct differences that you experience and write about in this book. Did you

always have this adventurous spirit in you? Did you always want to travel?

else was in Europe, so I didn't know them. And when I moved, and when I first started traveling and I first started talking to my parents and asking questions, I just realized that there was such an incredible family history that was that would have been lost if I hadn't started to write about it.

go back to Europe. And my dad and my uncle both grew up speaking Persian, so they had this extra language and they just had this amazing experience living there for the first seven or so years of their lives.

so it was mostly names. Very difficult to read it's written in Polish, but he did a chronicle of how they fled and what happened, and so a lot of this book I relied on that information for a lot of this book.

wonderful stories. Are are you writing it for people to suggest that they too should look into their background for their families, or is it just a personal exercise you wanted that turned into a published work, or are you trying to tell people to maybe get out of their own backyard and get out into the world.

a little bit of a push for that. And ultimately I think it's about starting conversations with people and realizing that even though you know, we may come from two very different worlds, or even for people who haven't traveled a lot, you know, when you say you've always wanted to or you started to learn German, I've always wanted to learn German. And my grandparents actually lived in Germany, and I have family in Germany, and so that's a connection,

that's something we can talk about. And it was really to start these conversations between people just to show us that we have a lot more in common sometimes than we think we do.

try to find something a mutual agreement. So this is a wonderful opportunity to do that. And I'm sure you get this question all the time. But considering the global travel and all of the places that you were and have been in writing this book, what is the most interesting thing or weirdest thing or funnest fact that you found out about your family or family history during your discovery.

in nineteen forty four. And when I say that, people think, well, isn't that too early? And I have to explain, well, no, the front had already moved at that point, so they weren't in danger. But it was that decision to return when so many people just they had been done with it and didn't want to return.

On the Afghan market thing, did she get special treatment because her husband was building a road or is this just a period of time where there was a sociological advancement where women were accepted and allowed to participate? What's what's the backstory? On them, and if I can ask, yeah.

it was just it was her. It was entirely her attitude and her perseverance and who this woman was.

my dear friend. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas to.

different than what he's been saying. But then, of course the market drops eleven or twenty three points yesterday, people freak out and they're calling me, saying, Jay, is the sky fallowing?

And if that's the case, it can be very interesting to see where things go. And as long as they can not let the national debt contin need.

get away from this career politician mindset. And I think the more of that we had, the better off will be as a country, because you know, it's a matter of, hey, I'm here for you know, four years, I've got to fix this this and this limited time. Let me get it done and move on instead of trying to figure out How'm gonna win the next election. That kind of stuff never has served us well. And we've see that,

you know, year after year, decade after decade. All I got to do is look at the presidential you know, talking points that they have about in for the last twenty years. Are you talking about the same thing? Brian drives us crazy because they've not solved a single problem. So let's get people off the sidelines.

this or you're gonna face considerable fines. A lot of people that can't walk, that are in a wheelchair, they can't make it back to their seat. Say they're seat in row twelve, So we use an aisle chair that's a very narrow chair. We put them on with wheels that we can wheel them back, help them get in their seat, and then wheel them back up to the

front of the aircraft where their wheelchair is standing. By many times, even though airlines have hours of notification, don't want to passenger traveling with this type of situation is going to arrive. There's times the airlines don't have those aislechairs standing by at the gate, so that means that the flight's landed, everybody gets off the plane, you have this person that's left with the flight attendants who are anxious to get to their next flight, and they're trying

to figure out how to get this individual off. There have been times that these people have gotten in the floor and crawled to the front of the airplane to get to their wheelchair so they can get to their next flight. And when you're talking about that kind of a situation, I'm sorry, that's wrong on so many levels, and it's happened too many times. Plus one out of every four wheelchairs is either damaged, loss or destroyed, and airlines need to be doing a better job on that.

So yeah, it's long past time for the airlines to be held accountable on this, and I'm glad to see it's taking place.

all that work? Because I mean, my mind is racing through a multitude of disabilities that exists in the world and trying to figure out how in God's name an airline can even manage the number of people with disabilities, regardless of whether or not they're treating them properly.

standing by when it's needed. That's the biggest issue, because a lot of times they don't have the wheelchair standing by, or someone gets to their destination and they're supposed to have a specific wheelchair that is designed just for them, and instead they bring up this wheelchair that's in the airport that's too small, uncomfortable to sit in, and sometimes on a delayed flight, these individuals are forced to sit in this chair that causes them physical pain for two

or three or four hours on a delayed flight, when in essence, they should have access to their own wheelchair if at all possible. And a lot of these are not really requirements that are out of the realm of you know, should be unreasonable for the airlines. They should be doing this as a priority, but sadly, the wheelchairs never seem to get the priority, which is really the problem.

Now I can tell you from a seating standpoint, we would always try to keep anyone with this type of a situation is close to the front of the aircraft as we could, just to make it easier for them to get to and then get away from as well. And it's difficult many times when airlines are faced with you know, fewer agents at the gate, so you're understaffed

already the airplane. Many times you've got a lot of pressure to get that bad boy out on time, so you have all of these additional challenges for this overworked gate agent where they all with the flight attendants have got to try to make some things happen. And you know, sadly we've seen flights delayed considerably because airlines haven't done

many times the pre planning they need. Sometimes it's an equipment issue where they've got to have more of these aisle chairs and other things at the airport to make things easier for the airlines to do their job. But the DOTS made it clear that the wheelchair passengers have not been the priority over the years and that has to change, and it has to change immediately.

moving them from their chair into the other chair. It sounds to me like there's an opportunity there to do some damage or harm them or otherwise, you know, maybe exacerbate one of the reasons they're disabled in the first place. I would I mean, I wouldn't want to touch it with a ten foot pall moving someone into one of those tiny chairs. Are they do they have any liability issues in connection with that?

them on the plane and go from there. So the issue has been Look, there were years that those aisle chairs we used to have to carry people up and down the steps to get them onto an airplane.

can handle it. And in the meantime, we're enjoying one more segment here with I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattle, at least I am. I don't care if anybody else doesn't enjoy it, Jay, although I know they do. I love talking. We did, my dear friend, and so let us move over to the danger of lithium batteries. Had a story yesterday, and the stack is stupid. Was kind of funny. Story was well, it was funny in part.

He had these lithium battery shoe warmers. All right, So he's out, he's out putting his his ice fishing hut up on the lake and and the lithium batteries basically blew up, and he got second and third degree burns. And I set it out loud to go, oh geez. I got my wife these little battery operated handwarmers because she goes out and runs out with a dog and she gets called really, really easily, all right, so she'll she'll use these things even when it's like forty degrees

out and they work great. They get nice and toasty warm. And I figured, you know, probably a lot safer than the old Zippo version of the you know, they put the lighter fluid in and uh, the old school handwarmer. Oh, and I've got one of those too, But would you rather have a flame in your pocket or you know, a battery? And so I got her a couple of those, and she's been using them. So she heard me tell this story, and now she won't use them anymokus he's

afraid they're gonna blow up in her pocket. But that's the problem. Yeah, yeah, so, but that that's battery.

some of these things are igniting. And the alarming thing is we're seeing lithium batteries on flights right now in the United States twice a week.

have any lithium battery device in a piece of check luggage. And the FAA did a survey and they had passengers that were quickly admitting, yeah, one out of every four passengers admits to packing these lithium batteries in their check bags and think nothing of it. And the thought is that could kill you and everybody on the plane, so don't do it. And I don't understand the thought process of why. I understand people forget because if they forget,

they have a firearm in their carry on bags. So I understand sometimes when they don't associate a lithium battery type of thing, but it's something that has gotten to the point where it's so bad. It's like, do we ban all lithium batteries from airlines? And obviously we can't do that because it's a part of so many things in our life, but we've got to do a better job because we're having too many of these situations happen.

And all you've got to do is go to YouTube and check out these lithium fires where backpacks burst into flames, and you have different things happen where they suddenly overheat and boom. It's an immediate problem. Imagine if you're at a flight at thirty five thousand feet in something like this happens in the cabin area, which flight attendants are trained to put out, or more dangerously, if it happens in a piece of check luggage that you can't access.

a problem, and it represents a huge safety issue. And you know, we're enjoying the safest there ever of commercial jet travel. We don't want something to happen from a strategy standpoint that's preventable, and it certainly is now. Obviously when the bags are screened, if something's caught, the airlines can can you know, can work with TSA and they can get that, you know, the threat removed. But a lot of times it's not caught, they go through and represent a danger to the flight.

and it's just it's it's getting more. I mean, we had a flight, I believe in San Francisco where we had passengers injured when a Lyssian battery device overheated and they had to have an emergency evacuation of a plane that was at the gate as it caught on fire

and smoke filled the cabin. So you know, these things happen, and it's right now we're just talking about them as things that happened during the normal course of whatever, and it's just, you know, a needed reminder for anybody that's lying, please make sure you take an extra moment to make sure if you've got a Lissian battery device and you can carry.
