Strong opponent of the president and active for decades in politics from the very troubled city that is Baltimore President Trump. Just tweeted his warmest condolences following the death of the congressman he said I got to see firsthand the strength passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader his work and voice and so many work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard if not impossible to replace so I'm guessing the president didn't actually tweet that that somebody wrote that for him I was going to say that you know it's just when you think that he always says the wrong thing at the right time and he he manages to say something actually kind and pleasant Yeah but doesn't sound like his he doesn't sound like him no not at all right now I'm thinking Kellyanne Conway probably came up with that quote but you know what either way I'm glad that it got tweeted out you know I mean it's. To quote a famous American Ellen you don't have to like or agree with people to because I'd just be kind just because to them you know I actually went and bought a little pin for a like a lapel tie pin that I put on my bag that I carry back and forth for swimming just as a result of that episode with Ellen and President Bush and it just says because I put a bee kind pin on my bag. Because I want one of those you know what it came in a package of 5 so I will give you one of the things. You know I just I'm taking that up is why mantra for the for the time being because and. You know I'm going to to spread a little kindness in the world she is doing that in just. Excellent way that inspired me wow that's awesome that I That's awesome I love that. So Alija coming this was born in 1951 in Baltimore he is the son of sharecroppers I did not know that side of sharecroppers he was 3rd of 7 children he graduated from honors from Baltimore City College High School in 1969 he attended Howard University he was in the student government there a sophomore class president student government treasurer and later studio student government president he was a member of 5 Beta Kappa society which is an honor society and graduated in $1073.00 with a b.a. In a bachelor's degree in Political Science He then went to the University of Maryland Law School and became Ernest in 1976 he was admitted to the bar later that year he practiced for 1000 years before 1st being elected to the house in 1996 he received 12 honorary doctoral degrees from universities across America most recently an honorary doctorate of public service. From the University of Maryland College Park he served the Maryland House and the Maryland House of Delegates for 14 years his predecessor Lena kingly raised funds and campaigned for him years later Cummings credited her with launching his political career in the Maryland General General Assembly he served as chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland and was the 1st African-American in Maryland history to be named speaker pro tempore The highest the 2nd highest position in the House of Delegates He also served on several boards and commissions both in and out of Baltimore including seed schools of Maryland Board of Directors and University of Maryland Law School Board of Advisors he served on numerous Maryland boards and commissions including the Board of Visitors to the un United States Naval Academy and the Alija Cummings youth program in Israel he was an honorary member of the Baltimore Zoo board of trustees and so he had a you know wow a very active career and a very active life. So. We don't know obviously this just happened in so they'll have to fill that position. Yeah he's been a Democrat for all of this time you know it for those who don't know too sharecropping that was something we learned back in school that's tenant farmers they live on the property but they don't own it and in generally they're regarded as being poor farmers because they don't pay rent for the property what they do is they give a portion of the crops that they raise back to the to the land owner who then can sell them or use them or whatever and so that's a sharecropper for those of us who have. To look things up. So yeah so so came from came from humble beginnings as the boy indeed he came from very humble beginnings and had a meteoric rise obviously he was successful from from the word go and. Yeah I'm I'm you know we've lost we've lost a giant in the Senate and 68 is really young and I think a 68 it's like oh that's really young you know. Yeah I know he did I know I mean if you're 18 that doesn't seem young but but it is it is not it's earlier that he needed to be gone for sure exactly I think that the life expectancy for men in the United States is in the upper seventy's or the lower eighty's I mean it's you know so $68.00 is significantly beneath that of 6 significantly lower than that and so you know anyway so well that's an average number so yeah well of course but yeah but I'm just saying that you know it's a chorus that he was the low end of that yeah and. But it sounds like he had had health problems for a period of time and they've been dealing with those and so. Yeah you know condolences to his family and friends and colleagues and to the people of Maryland absolutely they've lost a great leader So with that let's go to a break I'm here in breaker and I'm Todd Bridges and we are on the brink the morning show on k.c.a.l.

Welcome back I'm marrying franker and I'm tied breaker and we are on the on the brink the morning show on k.c. a a Have 1050 f.m. One o 6.5 f.m. 102.3 and I'm sorry I'm kind of chuckling here because. They're all good drinks a lot he did well and I let it slip at work that when I'm a little on the cranky side I play that song. So that's a warning for us is yes so why I'm just I'm having. And I've talked about it before I have this 6 year old apple. MacBook Air and it's really probably 7 years old given how late it is in the year it's a 2013 and. It's just having all these little issues and I just love it so much that I can't get rid of it but I need to like an old parachute I've got ahold of a clean install I mean to erase the hard drive completely clean install your o. S. And reinstall the apps that you use Ok that's not knowing all that had a lot of problems and no idea how to do that Mr tech you're going to have to help me I could help you with that because I know somebody who knows tech. Speaking of which do you have a tech report. Gosh do I have a tech and I've told you on the spot because I can't tell anything don't have one really ready to go right now actually I was going to talk about the fact that the fine folks over at a.b.c. News are reporting that more than a 1000 non-citizens may have been registered to vote in California after a processing error at the d.m.v. And well that it was not well and that's not surprising I think that was my 1st reaction to it was like well yeah so they don't really check much of anything anyway you just check a box and say yeah I want to register Yeah. It's like that's shocking that was predicted by literally everyone yeah department of vehicles admitted Monday that a mistake caused as many as 1500 non-citizens being registered to vote in the state the agency was alerted to the mistake when Randall marquis a Canadian citizen with legal permanent resident status in the United States went to the Los Angeles Times to tell about receiving a piece of mail from the d.m.v. Announcing that he had been registered to vote and so Mr Markey said I got this little card thing a piece of cardboard it said Congratulations you're registered to vote I thought it was over that there was this just like the stupidest thing I ever heard and I threw it out the Newport Beach California resident then rethought moving on to decide to alert someone because of a series of voter registration errors in the state. Because this isn't the only time they've messed up and do you believe that 1500 I sure don't use me no I don't think that was the 1500 is as much as they're willing to admit early in September they said 23000 Californians had registrations handled it correctly including some being assigned the wrong political parties thought you registered as a Democrat you ended up as a. You know green party or whatever. You know because there's lots of parties and so so the d.m.v. Is not handling things very well when it comes to voter registration apparently and I'm kind of of the opinion that the d.m.v. Is run by Joe is used to. I think it was designed to do this yeah those were great commercials. For those of you who are too young to remember the Joe is used to commercials. Of course as a car manufacturer and he was the slimy car salesman and he would lie through his teeth during the commercials in the truth would appear in words beneath him like he started like in a really bad Santa costume one Christmas commercial Hi I'm Santa and he was his last lizard slimy as you could possibly imagine they're great commercials I think you can find him on You Tube yeah the comedian who played him was it was just spotted a spot on to the role and yeah they were terrific. I don't think they sell these uses in the United States anymore do oh they might actually didn't work they were they were they they went down the big I think they isolated on trucks after a while and then they just gave up in the u.s. Market but there are a Japanese brand they do a lot of heavy equipment in Japan so anyway. The this error occurred when the d.m.v. Technicians process customer requests at field offices to change their voter Elizabeth responses on their driver's license applications due to the order in which the change was processed the customer's initial responses were retained instead of the correct and revised responses so they're saying that changes were not processed of people were left in the with their the party that they had originally. Registered with that was that error that was from back in September 1st chorus of temper and extensive external audit by the department found at approx 1500 customers may have been registered to vote in error Ok up to approximately 1515 my this is one office Yeah Ok yeah this is one off so I honestly believe that it was intentional because you know they're there I think that that immigrants are most likely more likely to vote Democrat and this this is a Democrat state it's a one party state and I think that this was designed to create more Democrats I honestly think that it's an issue of voter fraud. You know it's one of those things where the in the move to make registration simple and easy so that anybody who might be intimidated by the process is not intimidated they made it so simple and easy that anybody including people who don't live in Chicago and other places or have lived for the last several decades have registered to vote because it's so easy wink wink. And and yeah I mean if there are people who are here illegally and they choose to to vote there's really it's so easy that it's really not hard for them to go register to vote if they want to go vote it's it's you know there's we've got to strike a balance between verifying that the people are voting are are eligible to vote and the people that are want to vote can get registered to vote easily and I don't know that we've done that I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way I honestly think that voter id Woods would say you know solve all of this you know I don't believe that there's anybody in the United States that is so stupid that they don't know how to go get an identification identification that you need to drive a dedication that you need to know the thing is we let anybody get a driver's i.d. Now exactly no you would have to say you have to use the trusted you know you can't vote unless you go get your trusted id no no no no no I mean on your id it says whether whether you are a citizen or not I mean it says that you know that it's not doesn't the i.d. For illegal aliens or for for resident aliens I don't know maybe you just slight a you know there's a strip on the back of it maybe you just like that I mean this is an easy problem to fix Todd It really is I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying that I don't think I think that they have very intentionally set things up so that it's not so easy because the driver's licenses look the same unless you've got a got in your verified i.d. That you need so that you can get on an airplane. Which I just think of voter id would yeah I agree with you that that they've made it so voter fraud is really easy clearly voter fraud is very easy and so you know I think that that there needs to be as I think having of an id that proves that you have the right to vote in this country is necessary and I don't believe like I said I don't believe that that's a real barrier for citizens to vote I think it's insulting and patronize ing to tell a group of people oh well those people don't know how to get into an id really they don't really because they need one to buy booze they need one to go into a lot of buildings they need one to get on an airplane they need one I have a car to drive a car so yeah yeah you know and if when you're driving and again you know a lot of states if you're not a. Resident that you can't get a driver's license in California you can and so but while you're there if you have to do that there's no additional effort really involved in identifying yourself and getting it marked as a a you know if you already have your license then yeah there's a hassle to go get the verify i.d. So that you can get on an airplane anymore but the. But if you you know the next time you go to get your license it's no extra effort to do that right and here's the thing where this is I'm not I'm not railing against immigration I'm really not I mean I I like immigrants immigrants I'm I'm for the Dream Act that's fine and work but we're talking about something that is really reserved for citizens and that is voting so you know where this is this Is it become a citizen by all means come here work raise your family become a citizen I'm all for it but to be to vote in this country you should be you need to be a citizen. Got to have skin in the game you can't be subject to the laws of another country period Yeah well it was funny of this article to the gentleman that they're talking to says his 1st thought was This is the craziest thing I've ever seen and I'm going. Yeah that doesn't sound to me like the reaction that most people would have they were like Oh cool although in the next election that's what most people would probably say yeah not this is the craziest thing I've ever seen and thrown it away you know there are some people out there who would sure absolutely but there are some who are like oh they're letting me vote now Ok they sent it to me so must mean I get to vote yeah not thinking about it well cause the government tells me I can vote in a government election all right I guess all vote yeah this is designed for voter fraud gang period. So with that let's take a break I'm Arun Brinker and I'm Chad breaker and we are on the brink the morning show on k.c.a.l. We'll be right back.

Broadcasting more local radio programs in any other station in California we are k.c. . Welcome back to Marian Brinker and I'm Todd breaker and we are on the brink the morning show on k c a a m 1050 f.m. One o 6.5 an f.m. 102.3 and the l.a. Times has a piece about California schools becoming Well California becoming the 1st state in the country to push back school start times and there have been plenty of articles and research that have come out over the last like 5 years that have talked about how adolescents need more sleep than they're getting and that that part of the. Challenge is the early start time at schools because when you're not allowed. Scent you generally want to stay up to your body wants to stay up later and sleep and more if you mean how many adolescents wake up at the crack of noon on Saturdays and so I think this is baloney I think they need to learn discipline we all we all went through it this is a part of being an adolescent learning to wake up and be a human being with the rest of us in the morning Personally I just I think it's like following them yeah they're your lazy fanny out of bed and get up a good start your life and learn to go to better to do sometimes is part of growing up. That's my personal opinion yes I pictured Niedermeyer from Animal House you're worthless and weak. Well that wasn't my intent my intent was to be a tough love parent say you know I just get a lazy bum and get out of you know a lot and I had to get out of bed in the morning you know I got up for morning swim practice so I was get up at you know and being at the pool at 5 o'clock in the morning and I managed to survive so you can to some note I did get out of yeah I didn't like it and I wanted to stay up late and you know what that's being young. So that with it yeah live with it I will tell you that it's it's for low income schools low income students yes it's hard to get up in the morning like any other adolescent but you know moving that start time later means that they have later they have less time in the in the afternoon after school to work and many of them help support their families that means that they have less time for sport or it gets them home from their spare their games and practices much later which means they start their homework later I don't know that this solves the problem because the number of hours waking hours in the day isn't changed it's just shifted and so I don't know I don't know that that helps the other thing about it is it puts an unfunded mandate on the schools because schools designed start times very often based on on their buses and who they can who can who can they transport here and there and at what time and so you know it's many school districts will end up having to to increase their fleet which means that they would they're having to buy buses they're having to hire maintenance more maintenance people they're having to hire more bus drivers and so really this is going to be a significant unfunded mandate for our school districts right yeah because they can't simply just take the schedule and shift the bus schedule back because now there's different windows for different age groups to be able. To attend school right and so so they you know like you said they may have to buy additional buses and drivers and additional costs involved there so you know I just I think that this is the state getting involved is something that should be done by the school district this is a local decision not a state decision and the state should butt out I agree that so much of public education the school boards really are nibbling around the edges of the cookie that is their budget because most of it you know Sacramento tells you how to spend the money and. You know except for the Local Control Funding which is a few years old and a few other things they're pretty much like categorical funds all of those have to be spent on what they were intended for mean you don't have a lot of wiggle room and now they're taking even more control away from local school boards and local communities I think communities should be deciding on these kinds of things why in the world is Sacramento having the right to tell us what time school should start you know how many parents are going to be affected by their kids now starting school an hour later than they used to start and what's that do with you getting to and from your job because your kid now has to sit around in the morning because you're going to get them up anyway well and what'll happen is these parents will drop their kids it's because they have to draw on their kids at school so the kids will be hanging out in front of school and attended for whatever amount of time until they can get on they can officially be let on to the campus so that's not safe either and there's a number of kids who do that anyway I mean as it's as it is because you know kids starts school starts at 730 parent has to be at work at at 7 or 5 or whatever and so kids are like up I'll just leave you there Yeah exactly so I don't I don't know that. You know in that when it comes to education we have a real habit of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and we make the sweeping changes all it while. It's you know I mean do we do we have on a policy level do we have proof that this will improve educational outcomes for our school district not just you know a small sample of so many kids so you know pick a school district you know work with them for them to decide like a large urban district in a small rural district if you want to show the different sides and you test it does this work does this make a difference are we going to up and everything based an idea on an idea before we know it works are we going to wait until we have says data the worst of the educational changes that we make we do that all that we do it's crazy on some scientific idea that educators want to change or are not should see educators I should say education leadership because the educators the talk to the teachers the classroom are they so this is garbage Yeah this is stupid it's just going to mess with all of our schedules. You know and so it's it and that's exactly what's going to happen and then and then we're going to end up having you know before school study groups and stuff because the schools are going to recognize that hey we've got kids standing around out there on supervised so so then they're going to do study groups before school instead of after school and and it's it's going to achieve nothing and I just I hate the idea of hey something's hard so let's just make it all easier for them when they're kids you know kids don't need easier they need challenges and they need to be successful at dealing with challenges so help them deal with challenges don't make things easier and easier so they have no challenges you know and that's interesting because you know with the self-esteem movement right we wanted to make and all throughout the the eighty's and ninety's and even to today you know you give you give trophies to to everyone you don't want to make anybody feel bad etc etc etc But the reality is is that self-esteem comes from doing not being making things easier for kids and then calling them good at whatever that is is actually harder for them it's it's more detrimental to their self-esteem than than teaching them the grit and the tenacity to push through and succeed with something is hard because once you know you can do something hard you're less intimidated by that next hard thing kids aren't stupid they understand if something's harder or not and so I 100 percent agree with you Todd. Yeah they realize when they're getting fake attaboys for doing nothing exactly and they're like whoa why you know I'm doing nothing yet and it makes them actually less secure and more likely to act out you know but the think about I mean adults who are listening think about when you've accomplished something that was difficult you know that you that you studied hard and you got that a or you did something at work it feels amazing and makes you more likely to succeed the next time around yeah and make your kids get up and do something yeah indeed a 100 percent agree 100 percent agree so with that it's time for a break I'm here in Brinker and I'm Todd Brinker and we are on the brink the morning show on k.c.a.l.

Welcome back to Marion Brinker and I'm Todd break and we're on the brink the morning show on k c a n talk does indeed have a tech report check day to day. So yesterday Google had a announcement and they introduced some new equipment and one of which was their new pixel for a phone this is their competitor to i Phones 11 Apple's i Phone 11 and to be honest if you saw the 2 of them laying on a table top turned off it would be hard you would be hard pressed to tell them apart they are black slabs of glass front and back they have a square where the camera. Bump is now the Google has tooth to camera lenses in it are 3 I'm sorry but they're arranged differently and the glass is kind of smooth where the camera bump is but you'd have to look closely to see the little apple mark on the back of the Apple device versus the Google pixel the Google pixel uses the Snapdragon at Qualcomm snack Dragon Age $55.00 processor which is about half the speed of the a 10 by our I'm sorry a 13 by Onyx that Apple now uses So the processing power is down a bit but the. Excuse me the it has 6 gigabytes of memory whereas the i Phone now runs with I think 4 in the pro and 3 in the. In the regular i Phone 11 the Apple operating system is more efficient so it doesn't need as much memory so that's why they've designed their phones a little bit differently one thing that is of note that they have done uniquely is they have a faster risk screen refresh rate 90 Hertz refresh rate which means that if you move something on the screen fast you shouldn't get any blur because it refreshes the screen more quickly where as the i Phone uses 60 hertz which is the same as your television set here in the United States 50 in Europe and but it's a little bit slower than an i Pad Pro which does $120.00 which is designed as a drawing device if you use the Apple pencil and so they have a very fast refresh rate there but it's an interesting move by Google we'll see how that plays out they are the 1st phone that has radar in it they actually have a radar system in it so you can recognize some gestures without touching the phone now right now it's very very limited in terms of its just your menu but that's something that the folks at Google will be exploring and you could probably expect to see more gestures and waving at your phone before too much longer and I guess eventually they're going to we're all going to be Tom Cruise standing in front of a slab of glass waving our hands and things will happen but we'll see what we'll see how that all plays out very cool yeah so it's kind of interesting they also just a few new things they introduce their pixel buds to these are earphones that plug into your ear they've taken the cord out between the 2 so now they're like everybody else it's 2 separate devices that plug into right and left ear what they're calling true wireless you know it's interesting trend that they've gone to this in not having the your buds connected by a wire because now it just makes it really easy to lose an ear bud and then you've got one well and see that that's why I haven't done it because at least you know what it's specially in the bowels of my. A bag I may not have lost at last it but it could be could have fallen to the bottom and then it's you know essentially lost unless I unload everything in and search around for at the bottom yeah I just use the ones with the wires I think that ideally a lot of people thought is you always put it back into the charging case because there's a battery there and that tops off the battery in the bud so that any time you use them they're ready to go but I know I have at times pulled one out of my ear and stuffed it in my pocket real quick because I want to talk to somebody or doing something and it's and says easy to shut off you know they'll automatically shut off when you pull them out of your ear. Remains to be seen if that's something that's going to stick with us for a long time but anyway they've got some new bugs that are set up they also introduced a pixel book go Chromebook laptop that starts at 699 This essentially looks like an MacBook Air So it would look very similar to what you've got sitting on your desk right in front of you right now are nice and 699 that's a reasonably good price for a. Chromebook the chrome books you know if you know if they work for you if they don't work for you then they just don't work for you but if you're always in a wife and connected environment and you live in the in using Google Docs and Google Calendar then then they're good devices you know they just they there are specific things that they do really well and you never have to worry about upgrading software or doing anything like that because essentially they run everything through a browser and that's all it is the operating system is a browser so they work for some people really well. It's interesting that they they've also got updates to the eco. Dots that they've been cell I'm sorry their version of the Echo dot but their brewery branding everything in that arena they're now calling it instead of the Google home mini is now going to be called the nest mini And and they're building in intercom functionality and free Wi-Fi calling Ok so intercom functionality is very cool it is that's available in the Amazon echoes right now and I sit in my shack out back studios and have a little echo dot here and I although I mute it most the time so that if I don't say that if I say the word we don't have it yakking at me during the show but I can . Use it too as an intercom to anybody in the house which is kind of cool just to say hey what's going on or hey you know I'll be in in a minute or are we get ready to go you know something like that you know and it's handy Yeah it's handy because otherwise you know I we've used texting but then you know like if so if the when the kids were still living with us you know we would be in one room and they'd be in the other Hey guys ready to go or whatever dinners almost ready and they'd come out Mom did you just text me yeah yeah that is shouting across the house which is out was what I grew up. And downstairs and sort of center herself in the downstairs area in our house so that the sound would go up stairs where the bedrooms were and throughout the house it just shout. Yeah we're saving mothers one more aggravation exactly exactly acknowledging. The Google wife which is their their. Their wife i Mesh system where you buy a couple little devices and set him around the house and they blanket your house and wife I connectivity is been the new version of it it's out as well it's it's got a more seamless set up than some integrated smart speakers so that they now work along with the next speaker system and they're also now calling that nest wife eyes so again I'm not quite sure what the point of them rebranding things from Google to nest is for some of this home stuff but that seems to be their trend is they're going to they bought the nest. Thermostat folks a while back and so now this new branding home devices as nest as opposed to Google one thing that I found really interesting too with the phone is they're doing live transcription of. Any of your text to speech functionality so it's searchable which of course Google being at its root a search company that makes a lot of sense for them so what they're doing is you can set your phone down and record something and it will do live transcription in variety of languages so that you can then have a documentary or a transcript of what was said without having to go and retire it obvious you could have to edit it because they're going to be perfect and if people don't Annunciation clearly then it's going to get you know the thing doesn't quite understand how to and how to do it mumbles but I thought it's kind of interesting that something that Microsoft announced recently in there. With their new head phones that they'll be able to do that in conjunction with Microsoft Word and Excel and now Google's doing it as well and I suspect that we'll see that added into Apple at some point as well and so one more use of understanding our voice is the ability to have a transcript of what was said or what you recorded and then you can search it or if you're doing something like this and you want to create a searchable version of a podcast or something or radio show you can grab your transcript and post that along with it so so I wonder and when you said that it's searchable you 1st set it searchable the 1st in the popped in my head was searchable by whom well whom ever you make it available to if you leave it on your computer it's searchable by you if you post it on the Internet search but why anybody Ok if it's not to store it somewhere yeah it's not stored somewhere that that you know what that you something that you perhaps wanted to keep private are just among like and what I'm thinking of his doctors you know because this might be. A great medical transcription I'm sure it'll it's not quite there yet but you know if a doctor doctors have to transcribe their notes and maybe would save time with typing or whatever Absolutely but would it be secure so that it would be hip a compliant is you know kind of my right when I'm thinking well you know like right now if you use. Google Mail Google searches all of the mail that go through the g. Mail accounts and they use that as information that they gather so it's all text search doesn't mean that a person is sitting down and reading it but they run a tech search through it so that again you can go search for things in your mail provide you with a service and that they look for keywords that they can use to market back to you so it provides them a service it's why you can use g. Mail for free that's part of the deal however if you sign up for Google Mail and use it for your business and you identify your business as a business that requires HIPAA compliance they turn that off oh they do they do My daughter works for a daughter Jensen works for a company that deals with medical information and their company uses g. Mail and that was one of the things that when she told me that I expressed concern and so she expressed concern to her employer who then said no that's not the case and I did a little research and found out that yes indeed if you happen to have a need for HIPAA compliance Google would turn off the indexing and searching of the or g. Mail and so they're very aware of the HIPAA needs and you can work with them on that so so this is using the g. Suite to manage your business I have to say that that g. Suite is really nice I really like it I love all the integration I love all the tools that you can use and it's pretty inexpensive as you add users at $5.00 per user per month and you know I am a big fan it's one of those things where if you'd asked somebody 10 years ago. Is there anything that's going to take over for Word and Excel or what it would have laughed at you and for the most part it's kind of taken over for Word and Excel although there for word I would definitely say that that that people are definitely using the docs and some of the other apps sheets is not there yet Excel is such a robust program and there's whole lot of things that you can do in Excel that you can't do and sheets there are things that it works for well I think anytime you want to use any kind of group effort where you want to share information then the Google suite tends to be better at that absolute and then the but as a standalone individual their application there are benefits to still using Word and Excel if you know if you're deep into the weeds on those things especially if you're using any kind of scripting or. Automation type projects where because both of them have full scripting language built into them that there's some advantages to doing that so with that thank you Todd for that that report that we are at the end of our show for today I'm Aaron Brinker and I'm talk breaker and we are on the brink the morning show on k c a a we will be well we won't be right back we'll see you tomorrow.
