Brain chances and the thunderstorm possibilities remain in effect throughout the entire weekend. Won't be a blanket wash up by any means, but there was always that possibility of rain all the way into Monday, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Sounds familiar. High around fifty nine. It is fifty seven now in cloudy.
Seven one hundredth WLW Sports.
Liam Tomlinson take her away as the Reds moved to eighteen and fifteen after six to one win against Nationals last night.

One of the best days of the year in the state of Kentucky and the United States, the Kentucky Derby post time six point fifty seven.
Uh yeah, I mean you got any picks?
I feel like a Bob Baffert hurt horse. It's always a good pick, but I think he got scratched.
No kidden huh Bob feeding them drugs again? What about the Toby Keith howarts? What's it Ultimate judgment or what what's the name of that horse? Render judgment? Render Judgment. I know it's a long shot, but I always bet long shots in the derby, and every once in a while it comes in and at some point this morning, if she's awake, my wife has happens to be known as a great prognosticator. She actually selected correctly the results of the last triple Crown winner justified. And I think
I think you're laying some money down. You ought to listen to christ to two point zero your thoughts.
Yeah, she's given picks before, and I'm rich and I was able to make a ton of money. Okay, they're saying journalisms like American Pharaoh. Though, oh so you got to put him in all the boxes?
Perhaps well part of an exacta maybe with render judgment.
I don't know.

You know, it's just garbage, is what that is.
But uh Day from Dayton wanted to know if you had any Star Wars presence or if you'd like one for your birthday.
What's a Star Wars present?
That's the best answer you could have given. Thank you, Dear, We love you.
Oh I want happy birthday tomorrow, Thank you.
Birthday, Thank you great thanking them my happiest birthday.
Love you.
I love you too, Dick from Dayton. On the way, he's hanging here, hang.
Good morning, Good Jeff. How are you?
I'm well? You know, tomorrow is Mama Tree's birthday. We celebrated birthday in style back last month, and now it's Mama Tree's birthday, just one after the other people living up all over the place with birthdays.
How was your week, Dick?
Oh, pretty good, pretty good. I played a couple jobs.
I went back to the summers, and you know, I had been for a while and had a good time and had a little the ban Joe group Daryl and dearborn Michigan for a big convey this week.
You didn't get to go.
No, I didn't get to go. No, it's just it's about four days. It's uh, it's everybody comes up.
You know.
It should be.
Good everybody but Dick.
Yeah, I haven't been to that one. But I don't know. I think the convention the Fighter is down at Hebron this year at the Marriott. I'm going to try to make it.
Well, yeah, that's close enough, that's not that's not as far flung as Dearborn Michigan.
You know, it's weird.
You know, Dearborn Michigan has one of the largest populations of radical Muslims anywhere in the United States. So I wonder how I wonder how they get along with the banjo people. Yeah, you gotta wonder about that Derby day to Dick. Do you have any picks, Dick, or you care about the horses?
No, I'm not much on the horses now.
All right, Well, it was a chance for us to earn a little bit more money from day from Dayton, but it's okay. We'll have to wait until the next time. Listen, have a fantastic weekend, Dick, and keep picking and grinnin.
All right, and do me one last favor.
What's that say?

Derby pick is dang it? At least coming down the last stretch around the bend of that horse. If that nag is coming on last, at least you can have a lot of fun hollering, come on, dang it, come on, you know what I mean? So at any rate, what do you call someone with nobody and no nos?
What do you call someone with nobody and no nos?
Dave, nobody knows.
Jokes told by Dave from Harrison are not necessary considered funding by the staff, management, or advertisers of seven hundred WLW or his parent company, iHeartMedia. If these attempts at humor have caused you to roll your eyes, made your stomach churn, or you have considered the entire exercise to be a colossal waste of time, we deeply apologize. Now back to our irregular programming It is.
A deep body of water in the Scottish Highlands known as Lockness, rumored to be the home of the Lockness Monster. There have been reported sightings of the beast, what scientists have been skeptical until a recent photograph emerged showing the creature swimming in the lawn wearing earbuds. No doubt. Listening to Bill Cunningham.
Show Bill Cunningham, A show for legends like you, Monday, twelve noon on seven hundred WLW what does it mean?
Thirteen eastern, That is on a Saturday morning. Time to get a reception report from our friend mister Rick Washburn Old Radio.
Rick, Good morning, how are you my friend?
Well, well, good morning Gary, Jeff. Well, I'll put it this way. You're coming in five by five and a nineteen thirty five Sentinel Model thirty one B. It's a six tube AM shortwave wooden tombstone radio with a gorgeous dial. Has six tubes with the performance of eight. That's not a catalog thing, that's the truth. Yeah, includes a second IF amplifier stage for great reception and a great idea but badly implemented number nineteen tube for those three of
you playing at home. It's two tubes in one used for push pull audio woutput, which is a much nicer amplifier. But for some reason, half the manufacturers that made the nineteen tube used one set of specs. The other half used another set of specs and aren't compatible with each other. So when you managed to find one of these rather uncommon tubes that needs to be replaced, I had a fifty to fifty chance you're rewiring part of the radio to get that particular tube to work, and then undoing
it next time. Yeah, but this radio runs on a single sixfold storage cell usually. Yeah, most homes had six if they were on a farm or didn't have utility power anyways. Usually have a six fold storage battery somewhere in the house that would be recharged from a windmill, and that was usually used for lighting, but it could use the two small appliances like radios and so forth as well. Folks who didn't use the windmill, sometimes they had a car, they could buy a second car battery
and just let the car do the recharging. If you didn't mind swapping batteries from your car every week. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's the word I was looking for. Yes, But in somewhat counterproductive. It's got this nice push pull amplifier which is supposed to sound great, but the radio has a pin type speaker which is not known for
great fidelity. It's kind of a fragile speaker design. And on top of that, since it's a six fold radio that has a mechanical vibrator in it, much like car radios did in the day, and that gives you this nice, little annoying hum in the background that you can't get rid of. So a counterproductive from good sound.
Hey, I mean you and you came on describing this thing. It was like gang Busters. It's like the best ever, and you're telling me that it's a piece of junk.
Oh what, No, No, it's it's the best ever. But that's only because I overcame poor design.
Okay, now, I mean that, were you able to convert it to.
AC Actually, yes, I do have a little power supply that i've I've added to it outside the radio, so I haven't. I didn't mess with the the innards. But there's a modern replacement for the vibrator that doesn't make any noise good because it's not mechanical. There's a electronic one, so that Yeah, that's an easy thing. Plus it weighs about twenty pounds less. That's an exaggeration, but still so the radio weighed a lot less too because of it.
So modern technology gay. But while the catalogs has a few funny things, I thought Sentinel Triple Value Radio a matchless array of new features. Well, no, it's the same features everyone else test. Actually sensible prices yet highest quality performance. I think everyone says that multiple tested for long trouble free operation, multiple tested, Bob, did you test the multiple?
I don't know.
And simplified push button tuning, Well, I don't know how you simplify a push button. I think they were trying to suggest that maybe it was easier on this radio to set the buttons for certain stations. That would be false advertising. It's the most convoluted set of not like the old car radios where you pull out the button to the station and push the button all the way.
Back here right.
No, it knows this requires a small tool kit somebody with the patients of job and possibly four arms.
I just wanted to listen to the damn radio. What do you mean a toolbox.
Tune it?
Are you kidding me?
Geez?
Well, uh, or the adapter kit.
Well, regardless, you've got it U working.
You've got it.
Humming along nicely while not humming along exactly right.
And oh, she's a beauty. She's got Oh and I glossed over this. The airplane style dial. It is actually a very pretty yellowish dial that has a I thought the airplane style dial was because some of them, some radios have a picture of an airplane in the middle of the dial for some reason. Really, no, I think it's supposed to. I think this was intended to mean that it looks like the gauge of an airplane, because you know, in nineteen thirty five, everybody knows what that looks like.
Well yeah, but airplanes were still like brand new technology and everything in about it. So this was, you know, your next step on the way to the space age. If you had an airplane style dial on your radio.
All right, Well I didn't think of that.
Thanks, thanks for the report, and we'll talk to you soon. My friend old radio Rick at gmail dot com. Let's talk to our friend the truck Commander west Side Jim, who is live and on the move this morning.
Good morning, Jimmy, Good morning Gary, Jeff, and happy birthday to your sweetheart.
Oh, she's the best. I love Lynette and Mamitry.
And to know when hers comes up.
Also, you know, heading out to the boe to meet up with Colleen and all the good people out there to deliver ballots for that lengthy two piece.
What do you call it?
The ballot itself? There's two items on the ballot. It's almost like it's a waste of time, it's except for one of them is for Corey Bowman from mayor, and then the other one's an issue?
All right, what's the issue at issue?
It's state state issue too. It's just one of the wines, a little privies. But I'm out there going to be doing my civic duty in the rain, I guess this morning. So it's one of the first times in the last six years that it is actually going to rain on us.
Now, this mayoral primary is to determine who faces off against half to have Purvole in the fall coct.
Well, unless the two Republicans actually get the top two votes and then Purvall's.
Out, Now is that likely likely?
How likely is that going to happen? But our friend, our friend, Corey Bowman is the step brother or the half brother of JD. Vance or vice president, and he owns a coffee shop there on on the West.
End and nineteen Hunter pay Miller.
And he is also a pastor a minister, and I reviewed him. He's he's a great guy and uh, I wish nothing but the best for him. I don't know the other candidate, do you.
His name is Brian Frank and he lives in Mount Adams, who is a P and G resource type person who used to buy like paper clips and stuff like that. Okay, yeah, but for a better in purbole, he doesn't even.
Buy paper clips, for God's sakes.
But Corey, Corey is is very smart, He's very charismatic, and he handled himself very very well.
He does a great interview.
I know.
I heard him on with You, and I hear him on the sister station. They've picked him up as the weekly voice.
And when you're this, when you're half brother of J. D.
Vance, the vice president, you get on some some national news coverage as well, so he hasn't heard.
He's been on three national shows correct like news Max twice and one of the other news was correct. That does help, but hopefully he gets in there.
So before you told me about this. I didn't know there was a primary going on. And the actual day is Tuesday, Is that correct?
This coming Tuesday?
Yeah, a lot of people don't know what's coming stick Tuesday. They're predicting about eleven or twelve percent turnout.
That is ridiculous.
They the only reason they the only reason they have these primary elections and these issue elections and don't publicize them the way they do not is because they want the lowest possible turnout so they can have the turnout or the outcome that they would like.
And that's ridiculous.
If there's going to be an election, everybody should know about it and everybody should participate.
Amen.
You know, Gary Jeff, as a truck commander, we make the same amount of money whether one voter or ninety percent voters. So that's the only reason that I'm out this morning, other than that i'd be looking at the inside of my eyelids.
All right, bet, well, I'm glad that you're up and awake, and don't close your eyes while you're driving, please.
Well, thank you very much for having me on, Gary Jeff, and I guess we'll just wait on to on to Tuesday.
It's It's always a pressure, I mean pleasure.
Jim, you take care of Jeff, you too, west Side Gym there the truck Commander. It's primary weekend, along with Flying Pig weekend, along with Derby weekend, along with Sinko to myow weekend. Who could possibly lose track of the fact that there's important elections going up.
Showers will be sticking around for a lot of the weekend. This morning, expect off and on rain with temperatures around sixty. We do climb to the mid maybe upper sixties this afternoon with showers tonight, same thing. We start to see rain taper off though through your Sunday. Temperatures tomorrow in the mid sixties. Former severe weather station I'm nine first warning. Cameron Harten on news radio seven hundred WLW.
Seven hundred wl W sport your home of the Reds with a Reds Report.
The Reds moved to eighteen and fifteen after a six to one win against the Nationals last night after a one hour and fifty one minute rain delay that didn't stop Hunter Green, who struck out twelve the second highest total of his big league career, while allowing two hits over six innings. Tyler Stevenson hit a two run double in his season debut after a left oblique strain injury sustained during spring training. The Reds pitchers master season high
with seventeen strikeouts. Nick Lodolo takes them ount for the Reds Trevor Williams for the Nationals. Tonight, it's the second game of three. Inside pitch begins at five point forty. First pitch is set for six forty right here on the home of the Red seven hundred WLW.
It's the gang at Brookies and Ripley and how now Brown County?
Good morning, Good morning, A little slow there, are you guys awake? Everything good?
Yep?
It was a long truck from Russellville down there this morning.
You know, it's world It's World Naked Gardening Day. I was just informed by Ron Wilson, and I just wanted to ask, Sherry, are you going to be out getting some things done today?
I don't think so.
It's going to be a lot of rain going on. Hey, I just wanted to tell you my thirty five year old little middlely challenged fellow that I take care of and have had for nine years, passed away last Sunday. So it's been kind of the sad week, and I just wanted to say, oh, Mickey, you're so fine, You're so fine. You build my mind. Hey, Nicky, Hey Nicky, rest in peace, little buddy. And then I wanted to say to miss Lynette, you know, happy birthday to you.
And today from.
Harrison Newbody News the trouble I've seen.
My goodness, you're a good voice.
Are you auditioning for the farewell tour appearance by myself and Chris Owens tomorrow at Brookies. We're supposedly going to be doing a farewell a final farewell appearance maybe at Brookies tomorrow afternoon.
Year there's a big baby in.
There right well, No, the thing is and everybody should be hip to this by now. When a big act like Gosh Kiss or you know, think about all the groups that had farewell tours, they have them over and over. They're perpetually farewell tours, I guess because you never know
when it might be the last. So we've adopted the same kind of philosophy for the Gowen's Walker duo and it could be the very last time we ever get together and do music together tomorrow afternoon at Brookies on Main Street and Ripley two o'clock and fully expect you guys to be there and just make sure you're wearing clothes because today is World Naked Gardening Day, Sherry, not tomorrow, Okay.
I'll make a point of that, okay, And you're coming.
Back on Wednesday, right, I'm thinking I'm thinking about coming back on Wednesday for the because what what is the dollar amount on the Queen of Heartstraw next Wednesday at Brookies there in Ripley.
And it will be well over three hundred thousand dollars.
Good gosh, that's a lot of money.
Somebody can take it home.
Okay, yep, But you got to be there.
I mean, if you want to if you want, if you want to win the whole thing, you got to be.
There, right, that's right. If you're not here, you only get half. Well, I just would either cards. Oh there's twelve cards, Well that's it.
Well, you know I'd only blow my nose with one hundred and fifty grand I got to have the whole three hundred, no doubt. Well, so remember World Naked Gardening Day today. Chris Gowen's Gary Jeff Walker farewell to her appearance tomorrow at to at Brookies and Ripley and the Queen.
Of Harvest through.
And mop Muddy and odds tonight at eight o'clock.
Well that's pretty much. That pretty much describes the weekend, money and odd You guys have a good one, Thank you, bye bye the top of the hour. Gary Jeff on the Saturday morning edition with you seven hund WLW and my friend of the fifthy phone called Fame has been watching closely the events going on in Roma the Vatican with a selection of a new pope, and he has some thoughts. Good morning, Steve Simon.
Good morning, Good morning. According to former US editor and Secretarius say John Carey, Pope Francis should be remembered as the climate change prope. That's how alleged Catholic Carrie capitalized on the death of the pot off Easter weekend. I suspect Francis deserves better than to have us reminded that he swallowed a bunch of nonsense when he should have been thinking about allowing Catholics to divorce and women to
be ordained. I'm just saying, this coming week all the cardinals under eighty years old will get together for a papal conclave. To elect the next pope who serves for life or until he gets fed up with church bureaucracy. Recall Pope Benedict. The Vatican has a deep state. Also, trust me, I was an altar boy and we got to hear priest talk when they didn't think we were listening. There are one hundred and thirty three electors in this call. The winner has to get a two thirds plus one vote.
The United States has ten eligible cardinals. Europe has the most by far of any continent, fifty three, with Italy alone having seventeen. Isn't that called jerry mandering? But Francis was South American, so things are opening up. There is a secrecy oath that makes the mafia look like choir boys. You talk about what goes on and you are excommunicated from the church. Next stop, hell, now that is climate change.
The winner will be the two hundred and sixty seventh Pope, in a direct line going back to Saint Peter, who you may remember was crucified upside down. Wow, and our president only has to worry about being impeached. As Shakespeare put it on, lies the head that wears the crown. Cardinals wear those cute little red beanies that should not be confused with Yamica's. Although in our lifetime there has been a Jewish cardinals. He was Jean Marie Lustige, Archbishop
of Paris from nineteen eighty one to two five. Born of Polish Jewish parents, both he and his sister converted to Catholicism. Cardinal Lustige was appointed to that position by John Paul Second, who was also Polish, the first non Italian pope in four hundred and fifty years. So how long does a conclave take? I'd say as long as
a seventy five year old bladder could last. If there's no result after three days voting, his pause for twenty four hours to allow prayer, discussion and what's called exhortation, as in get with.
It, guys.
The Notre Dame Spring game is on TV. The longest conclave was three years, ending in the election of Gregory x Well. I guess that's Gregory the tenth unless, like Malcolm x he was a Muslim.
But I doubt it.
I mean, a Jewish cardinal is one thing, but that's taken DEI way too far. In twenty thirteen, Pope Francis needed only five votes in less than twenty four hours to get elected. Lord, that's faster than last year's Democrat convention. I'm thinking when the kid came by with pizza and wine, Francis was the quickest with the wallet. Now you know
where your collection money goes. Pardon me when it's all over and the smoke clears, the second to last bands standing comes out on the balcony of the Sistine Chapel and says abamus pop on translation, we have a father. There has never been a female pope, so you will never hear a French cardinal on the balcony shout.
Share she lam, oh.
There has never been a US pope, although one wonders why Vice President J. G. Vance, a Catholic convert, was talking to Pope Francis just hours before the Pope died, even though a quarter of the US population claims to be Catholic. The idea just hasn't caught on, and Francis apparently had a stroke just thinking about it. God gone it Oceania. Yes, that's out in the Pacific. Maybe next.
They actually have four cardinals, and they've had great success with guys making the National Football League way out of proportion to the population. At large. Football is in the Catholic blood. Two words Notre Dame, oh so close, damn Buckeyes. And no, there has never been a black pope. It'll happen, but I hope he's better than Barack Obama. In other news, today is another running of the roses at Churchill Downs, and all eyes are on a horse named journalism. I
know something about journalism in more ways than one. He was sired by prevarication and a mayor named libel and slander. Don't bet on him. Take care of yourself, Gary, Jeff, all right, Steve, thank you very much.
Let's go to the other side here race God in the Loveland.
How are you doing, my brother.
Gary Jeff Walker, my friend, Good morning to you. Listen to your great show. And Steve bless his heart, you know, and I can here's a heads up for you. By the way, Yes, there's never been an American pope.
Then there's not there's not gonna be.
Why Why is that, do you think?
Ray, Well, that's a great question because my vote would be for Bishop Baron, by the way, but probably as you will know, but the the thinking is that, uh, with America being a superpower, perhaps the superpower and all the wealth here, that that would just be an added concentration of power and wealth, you know, to America. It's just a theory that I've heard bantied about in Uh yeah, that's a good question though. So they just keep praying that that that we get a good pope, and we
surely will. And I cool, how much time do you have, Garry, Jeff, I.
Got all the time in the world for you.
Ray go ahead, right, But you.
Know something hit me this well, you know, we get fancied about all these things about tariffs. It's a tax, the external revenue service. And you know what, it hit me, And I've got a thought.
I've got a thought.
First of all, Yes, as folks are driving down the road, I'd like to see a show of hands, and how many people would like to keep paying tax on their Social Security how many people would like to keep paying taxes on their tips? And how many people would like to keep paying taxes on their overtimes? Show a hands out there, and I can guarantee you that well, when they do these surveys and they come back, you know, people don't agree with Trump and his policies this and
that I got news for you. The reason why eighty percent of the country, or with Trump's thoughts, or because the answer that last question being primary of thought. But here's the deal with the tariffs. Trump, you know what we've talked about, a fair tax, a flat tax, and how that would be a boom to the economy and level the playing field, and would be a consumption tax and would do away with the IRS. Well, there's all kinds of reasons why that's not going to happen. But what if Trump has got.
To figure it out?
The IRS has already been newter, the eighty five thousand armed agents have hit the door, yes, praise God. And then he came in high on the tariffs, high one hundred and forty five percent.
On the Chinese and da da da da da. At end of the day, if all he has done has embedded let's say, a ten percent tariff pretty much across the board for the most part, okay, and it's embedded into the economy, well, at the end of the day, people say, well, you know, one hundred and forty five percent, he's crazy. Ten percent, We can handle that. And the bottom line is, as we well know, China is already
eating part of the tariffs on their margins. Their companies are to try to stay competitive in the price and structure. If all President Trump does is keep it ten percent care if at the end of the day and does a way with taxes under two hundred thousand dollars tips over time, would that be a win for many, many, many people in the level of playing fields financially.
Yes, you know what, Ray, we got to go, but I would vote for that.
Oh.
In fact, I did have a great weekend.
Seven hundred WLW And.
To another hour of the Saturday Morning edition for this Saturday, May third, twenty twenty five, and uh city in Hamilton County in.
Great sadness this morning.
With the.
Murder of Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy. Unjustified, unjustified anyway, we turn our attention to our environmental engineer, Steve Shilty with an environmental moment and the latest on the news the blackouts that were suffered, the major blackouts in Spain and Portugal. Your focus this morning, Steve, and the reasons behind them. Thanks, I'm here, I'm talking to you, you're talking to me. I guess we've got this thing on the air, Yes, we do.
So what this past Monday, I got something from uh dot org and what it's It's high is Spain and Portugal go dark and interesting, Gary Jeff frame Traine froze in place, Traffic, lights went dark, elevators trapped passengers, refrigerators shut down, flights canceled, light round or halt because on Monday there was a massive blackout in Portugal and Spain and also parts of France. And this was right after Spain announced it was running on one hundred percent renewable
energy for the first time ever. And this is one of the largest peacetime blackouts that Europe has ever seen. But Gary Jeff, not random, not unforeseen. It was exact the failures many of us have been warning wallmakers for years, and obviously that Europe has ignored. But before the outage hit, Spain was running its red with very little what's called dispatchable spinning generation, meaning power plants like gas and nuclear that can quickly adjust their output to keep the grid stable.
Traditional plants have these spinning turbans, but renewables don't make the grid fragile. And while they still claim they're looking at what really caused it, it's slightly that the outage was renewables that they cannot handle sudden disruptions. It's interesting that Spain has been shutting down. It's both nuclear and
hydrocarbon power plants with the greens and power. But in order for Spain to get back online, they had to import massive amounts of electricity from nuclear powered France Oh my god, Gary Jeff nuclear power, and even worse for those who hate carbon, coal and oil powered plants from Morocco to get the grid back online. So this shows that wind and solar are not up to the task of getting us now in our future and getting us dependable and affordable.
Energy.
But gart yet there was a silver lining in this. Yeah, in Spain, cafes were dishing out free ice cream before it melted.
All right, Steve, thank you so much. That'll be enough. Yeah, Uh, renewables I e. Wind and solar never have been capable. Are not capable. God get with the program. Seven to eleven, seven hundred WLW.

Hello Diana, what's on your mind?
Gary?
Dad?
What's on your mind?
Diana?
Saturday?
Happy Saturday year.
You have a bone to pick with you.
Uh huh.
You have a regular caller that calls himself the truck commander of the Board of Elections. Listen, we have been working on this. We're the company that delivers every single polling location for the forty fifth year for Hamlin Canyon.
We are out.
We start planning in.
January for the May election.
We have eight trucks per day, twenty personnel, and we delivered the two hundred and eighty six stops polling locations and Hamlin can on over five days and then we only get four days to pick.
It all back up.
So if Truck Commander Jim is trand is truck commander, then I'm.
The next pope.
Okay, this is what he's told me. And he's not a regular caller. He calls every once in a while.
Diana Carroll recently, I'm not I'm not Dan Carroll. I've known I've known Jim Kiefer. I've known Jim Keefer for ten years.
Hey, many go and do two or three stop for he's okay, chip and put in the computer.
But that's all he does.
Okay, Uh, that's fine. I don't know why you want to have this fight on the air, but the fact I want you.
To know, the fact that goes into the ability for people to go and physically vote, I know.
And and my my real bone to pick with the whole process, Diana, since you've been a part of this since January getting ready for this May election, is that half of the dam more than half of the population have no ideas even going on.
Who's completely when you've got eleven percent turnout?
And by the way, uh, there's a Republican and a Democrat in every truck.
What happens on that behind every one of our vehicles when we deliver, we have what's called a chaser that contains a Democrat and a Republican to verify the equipment.
Is delivered and locked up.
Okay, all the pertinent equipment is removed on election night, so when we go to pick it up, we do not have to have a chaser, and there's no absolutely zero ability to.
So you're mess with the equipment.
So, Dinah, you're telling me there are no truck commanders.
Out this morning, although I'm waiting for the little minions all to leave because there's about twenty five U hauls over there that have the little chips and the bags of ballots. Ok and they divide up all those stops. We can't even get in the load and start our work today until they get out of there.
Okay, Well, yeah, I guess it's a it's an question of semantics. Then what's a truck commander and who's actually whether a minion or not they are working for the election, for the primary.
If it weren't for our company, that truck commander would have nothing to do, because the equipment wouldn't be there.
For Nobody discounted your great work on this or said that he was doing it all.
No one said that, Diana.
Well, I just think that he uses the wrong title for himself.
Ah, so it is again a question of semantics. I understand. Well. I appreciate your.
Dogged determination to get on there to tell me about this, and I appreciate the information that you have.
Anytime you want to come and ride and see how it really works, you call me up and I'll put you in the truck and you will see the amount of a process, how hard it is, and what we deal with on a daily just driving in residenti areas with a semi and a tracker.
I can't even imagine, Diana.
I would love, I would love to take you up on that, but but I've got better things to do, and I don't live in Hamilton County or Cincinnati. You don't have to, Okay, Well, all right, thanks, appreciate it, Bye bye. Obviously just has a problem with Westside gem He's only a minion. Time for the Tom Davis Diaries or the.
With this week's report of wild, wacky, weird stuff from around the country and around the world.
Here is your reporter, Tom. Good morning, Gary, Jeff. This week, I do, I do, and I do. But first, things have been kind of quiet on the southern border lately. Maybe that's why La Jude la Bienne thought it would be a good time to smuggle some parakeets in. He was trying to cross near San Diego and Tijuana, but the border patrol caught him and found birds in his boots. Some of these birds were dead, but some were still alive. They also found six live birds hidden inside the cushions
of his car seat. He's in double trouble because this bird is actually on a protected list. Meanwhile, a kangaroo was on the loose in Alabama. It was seen hopping down Highway eighty five in Macon County. A couple of people crashed trying to avoid it. That's when the owner of the room showed up and shot it with a tranquilizer. This guy just casually grabs a kangaroo by the shoulders, drags it to his car, drives off. You'll be glad to know the animals back home and healthy living on
a farm. In Florida, an impatient driver leveled a lady riding on her rascal. A woman named Carol was barreling through a parking lot of a Sam's Club when she smashed into a seventy seven year old woman and a mobility scooter Carol fled the scene but was arrested later.
The scooter lady was hospitalized due to her injuries, and finally, Florida's own Henry Betsy Junior, has said I do at least three times in three different counties, three women who met online realized they were all married to the same man. Henry was arrested in charge with bigamy and has boldly pleaded not guilty. He met each one of the women online on dating sites before asking them for their hand in marriage. Next week, he confessed he was in love with her sister. She burned down the house.
Have a great weekend.
We're at seven twenty two on the Saturday morning condition. Time for a little tech talk with our friend Dave Hatter Doomsday. Dave warning you about what they are doing, whoever they may be, And this time it's General Motors Day.
Good morning, Hey Gary, Jeff, I always get the chat with you.
So what is GM doing to us?
This is a wild story. Last year, maybe into twenty twenty three or early last year, it was discovered that GM was selling data a third party.
Thing.
If you go out and you sign up with someone like Progressive orble State or whomever, and you give that more box and it put it in your car because you have informed consent, right, you initiated that transaction. You decided that you might want to get better rates by getting one of these devices and tracking your driving. GM on the other hand, and I'm sure very deep in the confusofer we of the terms the service of your car. It says something about on car, safe driver and that
they would sell your data to third parties. So what was happening was they're tracking you, they're selling your data to third party and then at some point you might get your insurance drops or increased because they're getting the data from GM. And sadly, Garry Jeff, they're not the only company that has this capability. I want to come back to that, but this cost a big stink. GM
stopped doing it. The FTC. There's a headline from the pc FPC take accent a handstandal motor sharing drivers, locations and driving behavior data without sense. This is from January this year. Now there's a lawsuit and it's really interesting and I can guarantee you as long as they continue to take this stance, I will never buy another General Motors car. General Motors basically is arguing that because you
drive in public, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Now, I know the law has said this for a long time in general, but you spend money, purchase a vehicle from them, you're in your vehicle, and now, because of all this technology, sensors, et cetera, you have no expectation of privacy and they're going to sell your data at their party.
Makes me long for my It makes me long for my seventy one Buick skylark.
Amen brother, or my my eighty three nis On two, you know something like that. Here's here's a direct quote, as GM notes quote. Driving data includes vehicle location, driving routes, breaking events, and speed, all of what the current public thoroughfares, citing a twenty fifteen case where a court determined that someone being surveilled by a drone did not have their privacy A violators because the surveillance occurred in a public place.
So again, I understand the argument, and it's probably somewhat of a legitimate argument, but you purchased the car. In theory you own the car, right, and this sends a whole weird digital rights management. You know, non Deer has done under fire for this forever because you buy a tractor and then you can't fix it. You got software and that's that feelectual proper. You can't fix it. So I mean we're heading into this crazy space, and before they run out of time, I want to encourage people
go take a look at Privacy not Included. People that make the Mozilla web browser have a website called Privacy not Included. It focuses on Internet of things so called spart devices, and they did a big expose on cars in particular, and it's quite opening to people. And this was the headline of their article, Gary Death. It's official cars are the worst product category we have ever reviewed for privacy. So it's not just GM Jim. I think that was the first to really get called out for it.
And you know, to have a kind of glove in their face with this FTC Willling right, It'll be interesting to see what the shortcase does because I think it does not go well for our privacy and I know we're about a time real quick. Maybe we can hit this next week. Did you see the story where a woman was riding in a lift and then got a text of the whole conversation she had in the Wift because it was recording her.
Well, oh no, it's yeah. Listen Dave next week. That's great.
All I can tell you is that it's nobody's business where I'm going in my own car. No one GM, not a third party or anybody else. Big Brother Deluxe seven seven Jim Barbara Rock and Roll Archaeology Afternoons, Well by Ralph's American Grill.

In betamus snakes.
Like cottonheads, cotton mouse.
Yeah, there were cotton mouse, copperheads. They were old. And if you go we're into east to see you've got some uh, you've got some rattlers. Actually even yeah.
Uh. There's like most one hundred thousand people die every year in the in the world for a snake bites and four hundred thousand of a permanent disability. In India alone, there's fifty eight thousand snake deaths a year. And currently you know, the way they get the ant to the venom now is they inject the venom into like sheep or horses and pull the antibodies out for the specific uh snake bite venom they want to treat somebody with.
You know, the trouble with that is you got an antibody from the animal going into a human, uh human body. Sometimes there's a rejection on causes issues on that end. It doesn't really work out too well. Well, let's uh, let's center Tim Freedy. Uh Tim Freedy is really uh uh be thankful for this gentleman. He deliberately they call it envenoment. Theirself envenomed himself eight hundred and fifty six
times with various snake venom. I mean he's gone from the type of cobras, tapens, rattlesnakes, and black mambas, and he's developed antibodies for all these deadly snake bites. And what researchers have done, they've pulled out his antibodies and there's two specific ones they call him not to get into weeds, but lnx d zerra nine and snx B
zero three. They combine those with some other other compounds and they're able to create one one venom, which is which is really a great thing, because one venom that actually for thirteen of the most deadly of the nineteen deadly snake bites that people typically incur around the world. So you know, you just have one venom kit where it's just like an EpiPen where you you can save all these lives from this just this one gentleman's you know,
weird method. He've been doing this since twenty ten for building up his antibodies.
So this guy, this guy is a human cure ale for snake venom.
Absolutely one person. That's really amazing.
That is an amazing story.

Your news division earlier was signing the alarm the the CDC about all these measles cases erupting. Yes, and I'm not hearing a breakdown as to how many might be illegals and their families.
You know what, that.
Is an excellent question, unvetted unvaccinated and Joe Biden's corrupt regime letting them in the southern border.
We are not hearing that statistic.
No, we're not.
And it's odd that the current measles outbreaks all started in the state of Texas.
And it's it's curious to me.
That a state that is a border state would be where the the sudden incursion of me measles outbreaks are occurring and then spreading throughout the country. These things tend to do. But yes, we have a lot of people who are totally unvetted. We have no idea. At least in the great migratory wave of the early twentieth century in this country, the people were held at checkpoints until we found out if they were well enough to become
part of the US population. We've had no such safeguards for the last four years up until President Trump took office.
Yes, Joe Biden and the Democrats are interested in importing voters, but they're also importing possibly measles.
Importing disease, yes, all those other wonderful.
Things, yeah, TB and whatnot.
Yes, and hopefully beating up your girlfriend or your wife as an epidemic. Because there we go that would start there too, all right, doctor Dennis, thank you so much for that. We'll break for news and gifts from Wally and a visit with Mo still to come.
