Host of Amicus, a law review on Saturday mornings from 9 to 11.
I highly encourage you to listen to Jim on Saturday mornings.
But he's going to join us tomorrow at 1033, like so many things in the news.
The news cycle turns so quickly and things get lost.
And so, Jack Smith did come out with his final reports about Donald Trump allegedly stealing classified documents
and allegedly coordinating the attack on the US Capitol, trying to overthrow the election.
Jack Smith, this does not exonerate Donald Trump.
Yeah.
It's just essentially, he could not pursue charges because once you take office, you cannot face charges.
So convenient.
Brilliant program.
So Jim's going to join us to explain what was in that report from Jack Smith and who was all involved.
In what was essentially a coordinated efforts to steal the 2020 election.
The whole stop the steal in reverse.
Todd Alba will be joining you right after the new news from noon to two.
Maggie Don from two to four.
Dom Salvia, four to six p.m.
Peach Schwabba with night lights from six to eights.
And then tomorrow morning, early Pat Crightlow, up north news radio from six to eight.
Pearl Ingram right before us here from eight to 10 a.m.
And yes, at this point, Donald Trump is now the 47th president of these great United States.
1153 Calvin, that means it's time for this shouldn't be a thing.
And again, if you ever have a thing, you think should not be sent it in to Greg and me.
He says at civic media.us this from Sky News headline reads woman surprised after being declared dead.
I'm not there.
Nicola Polino discovers she is registered as deceased, saying this development really, really messes up my life.
You think?
Nicolene Polino of Maryland went to renew her driver's license.
Says she was left frightened and surprised as she got a text informing her she was officially dead.
In the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration online system.
She told a local outlets it appears I am deceased.
I got a little frightened. I'm not going to lie and surprised because I am alive. I am here. Hello.
Hello.
She was then told she could not renew her driver's license before she got a letter from the IRS describing her as a deceased taxpayer.
What?
Health insurance for Paulina and her three children also got canceled prompting a stream of medical bills.
And leaving her without the inhaler she needs for her asthma.
Polino says it's affected me a lot.
It's affected my health, my mental health.
She then got a call from Social Security who told her this was all because of a typo.
A funeral home reporting someone else as deceased.
They got one number wrong in the Social Security number.
And it was Polino's SSI number.
Who is she suing?
Social Security saying its records are highly accurate.
And that less than point 33% of the more than three million deaths that that happened annually were later corrected.
Which means about 10,000 reports are wrong every year.
That's not nothing.
10,000.
Yeah, it used to be worse.
It used to be like 50,000.
And attorney says, yeah, this happens almost on a daily basis.
This is not a small thing.
This is the worst impact you can have on your credit report.
That's the, that's the thing too really quick.
We talked about before is like your credit report takes a while to repair.
Oh, yeah.
And in a situation like this, the credit score systems that the trans union all the,
they're not going to be like, oh, we'll just put it right back.
You're probably going to start over or you have to earn it back.
Oh, that's fair.
You have to earn it back.
Oh, Polino says she finally got a letter from Social Security saying the mistake had been corrected.
And now she is officially alive again.
And I don't know, somewhere folded in those papers was and I'm sorry.
I'm oopsie daisy or no, except this fruit plate.
Fruit plate is appropriate in so many different.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, but at least she's alive again.
Well, thank goodness.
We're glad Nicole.
You're back.
That wraps up today's episode of this shouldn't be a thing.
