WEBVTT - Mike Allen Saturday Mid-Day -- 12/27/25 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:09.840 Day, there's Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:14.200 Midday on a kind of a yucky but halfway warm 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.159 Saturday morning. Boy, they're getting hit on both coasts with 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.759 the weather. So we escape that at least hope you 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:25.640 all had a good Christmas. I did. I am happy 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.920 to say that God blessed me with a grandchild. A 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.920 couple of weeks ago. Got a little granddaughter and it 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.519 was fun to be with her sometime part of the 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.680 whole Christmas thing. So I think Christmas is going to 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.559 be fun again. I've kind of got a thing that 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.600 Christmas is fun when you're a kid. Obviously, it's fun 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.960 when you have kids, and then it becomes fun again 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.560 when you have grandkids. So I'm in for some good stuff. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:56.680 I think, speaking about good stuff, some not so good stuff. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.560 In Minnesota, I'll tell you the hits just keep oncommon 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:05.320 with that place. Some of it, although it's obviously very serious, 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.000 is actually comical, and I've got a couple of them 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:09.880 we're going to talk about today, but I wanted to 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.480 let you know first. At ten o'clock, Janis Heisel of 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.720 the Epoch Times. She is on this story, I believe, 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.200 and others too, more than any other national journalists so 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:26.479 far she's got. She did a twenty page article, very comprehensive, 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.280 and we're gonna be talking to Janis at ten and 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.240 at eleven o'clock we're going to talk to FOP President 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.120 Ken Kober about what's going on with CPD, what we 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.520 can look for. And I want to ask him too 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.360 what the status is for the witch hunt. And it 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.400 is a witch hunt of Chief Fiji. So we'll talk 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.640 to him at eleven o'clock. In between those times seven 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.640 four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred, the big one 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.480 are the numbers. If you want to be a part, Okay, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.840 let's lead it off here. Article in Fox News Minnesota 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.280 Senate candidate and by the way, this Senate candidate also 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.640 happens to be the lieutenant governor of the state of Minnesota. 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:14.520 Minnesota Senate candidate wears Hajib in visit to Somali market 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:20.919 as fraud scandal unfolds. Minnesota Lieutenant governor and US Senate 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.200 candidate Peggy Flanagan was seen on Somali TV station. I 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.919 guess we have those here now. Well, isn't that great? 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:34.280 Wearing Ah Hajib at a mall as widespread fraud. The 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.799 scandal implicating some Somalis plagues the state. Now they wrote, 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.919 some Somalis. I've seen figures of the people that either 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:49.040 have pled or are charged or who are suspects. About 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.000 ninety percent Somali. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:52.360 You know. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.080 The hajib is kind of that scarf looking thing that 0:02:55.440 --> 0:03:00.639 sometimes Muslim women wear. Wearing a hajib is it's typically 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.880 a sign of obedience to God. Quote and worn to 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:12.160 show modesty. Flan again, this Lieutenant governor. She is a Catholic. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.840 She said that publicly and on her campaign website is 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:22.320 quote her view on immigration is grounded in her Catholic faith. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.440 Really okay, her far left views and it's just not 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.400 this incident, it's something else. Also prompted her to wear 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.960 a are you ready this will be a big surprise 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:40.000 to you, protect protect trans kids shirt with a knife 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.520 on it. I don't know what that means. In August, 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:46.400 she did that in a viral video, telling parents and 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.600 I'm going to quote here, when our children tell us 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:55.120 who they are, it's our job as grown ups to 0:03:55.320 --> 0:04:01.560 listen and believe them. Close quote so translated what she's saying, 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.880 what you mom and dad want for your child, doesn't matter. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:12.000 Doesn't matter, the child will make the decision. You got 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.800 to be twenty one to buy beer, you know. And 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.960 they want these libs want the government to make the 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.600 decision on these trans things, not the parents. It's just 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:28.279 upside down. Well Walsh got involved in it too. He's 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.400 quoted as saying, the programs are set up to move 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.359 the money to people. The programs are set up to 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.360 improve people's lives, and in many cases, the criminals find loopholes. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.560 Really you just find an add out. But anyway, he 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.480 set up a new anti fraud task force. A little 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.320 laid on that governor. The message here in Minnesota, this 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.400 is from the governor again, and this is laughable. The 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.960 message here in Minnesota is if you commit a crime, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.880 if you commit fraud against public dollars, you are going 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.840 to go to prison. Close quote. You know, once again 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.000 a little late on the draw there, Governor. Where were 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.920 you in the last three or four years when apparently 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.440 a lot of people knew about this but they just 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.520 weren't coming forward. I tell you what, if that guy 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.239 doesn't get indicted, I think something's wrong. There are criminal 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.560 statutes and I'm not gonna say I know Minnesota law, 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:28.200 but there are criminal statutes that are based on negligence, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:33.159 and some of them gross negligence. And this is negligence 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.600 of the highest sort. While you and I pay our 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.599 tax dollars, and make no mistake about it, this stuff 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.440 is our money because at the root of it is 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.640 almost all of it is federal money. And guess who 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.640 pays into that. That's you and I. It's just I 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.960 tell you what. For talk show host, it doesn't get 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.560 any better, and this one's it's not going to go 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:03.160 away soon. Donald Trump weighed in on this, as only 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.560 he can quote. I guess this was on truth social 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.240 quote from Trump. Send them back to where they came from. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.760 It's over. I'll tell you what. Harsh words, hard words, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:21.240 but by God, in my opinion, accurate words. You know what, 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:26.800 we don't have to like everybody. We don't. You got 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.479 a group of people who, so far, it looks like 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:36.320 about or ninety percent responsible for what's going on. We 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.440 don't have to like those people. We don't have to 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.799 wear hajeeves. You know, we don't have to fear being 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.680 called an islamophobe. I don't know. We're just gonna have 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.719 to see where this is going, but it's going to 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:53.360 be a manna from heaven for people like me along 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.800 those lines. This one I keep saying, you won't believe it. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.719 I gotta stop doing that because once you see one thing, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:05.280 the next day, usually something else happens. Okay, The third 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:09.120 ranking leader in the House of Representatives, who happens to 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:14.160 hail from Minnesota, demanded answers from Governor Tim Watz after 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.920 a YouTuber tried to confront employees of an alleged daycare 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:25.480 center get Ready for This that had misspelled signage and 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:32.960 no signs of activity outside, but reportedly received four million 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:37.680 dollars in state funds. Got a brief audio of it, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.960 obviously not video. It just to kind of give you 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.920 a feel for this. Could you play that, lamb? Please? 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.760 Just wanted to put my son Joey. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:47.400 Yes. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.320 Is this your daycare center? No, that's not what's helping. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.160 I just wanted to put a child in daycare. By 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.440 all the daycare centers seem to be closed. No one's 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:57.240 opening the doors. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:58.040 Your work here? 0:07:58.640 --> 0:07:59.880 Ohs yeah, what's helping? 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.720 Where are the kids? Sends its license for seventy four 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.600 children right here? State of Minnesota? Where are the kids? 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.160 They got paid one point two six million dollars. In 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.760 fisted Your twenty twenty five it says the have a 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.520 capacity for seventy four children. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:16.800 When when where are the kids? 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:17.280 Right here? 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:22.480 State of Minnesota website. You work here and you don't know. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:23.480 I don't know. 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.240 I was dead before. I don't know what was going 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:25.600 to going on. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:26.960 Were there any kids when you worked here? 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.440 He's dead, he's there with so many I don't know. 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:30.440 I don't know. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.640 I don't know. I don't know how many kids are there. 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.200 I don't know your tax dollars at work, folks. This 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.160 thing is just incredible. Just to kind of set the 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.400 ground on this, I think you get it based upon 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.360 what you hear. This guy, Nick Shirley, he's some YouTuber, 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.959 not real sure what the definition of that is, but 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.960 he's doing a good thing here, doing a public service. 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.079 Shows up at this learning center, and if you look 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:57.840 at the video of it, you can see it plain 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.680 as day, A big old sign in front of the 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:06.000 learning center that is spelled. They spell it Leering center. 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.920 So the learning center is a leering L E A 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.600 R I n G. It was spelled. It's an alleged 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.800 daycare center. They got four million bucks. I mean, it 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.960 just it keeps getting worse and worse, and the dollar 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:26.640 amount keeps going up. Four million dollars of hard earned 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.840 tax dollars. This is the Republican House majority whip in 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.800 the believe Minnesota Senate or House. He says, four million 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.000 bucks of hardered tax dollars going to an education center 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.920 that can't even spell correctly. Care to explain this one, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.439 Tim Waltz. That's what this guy Tom Emmer, and he's 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.840 kind of leading the charge on this thing. That's what 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.760 he wrote on X. It keeps growing, it keeps growing, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.840 and we've not heard the last of this. I mean, 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.320 it's going to keep bu to be the gift that 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.440 keeps on giving. But at the end of the day, 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.000 it's just sad. I swear to God, all this stuff 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:11.200 going on in Minnesota is not that big of a state. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.880 I mean, it really isn't. And nobody knew. I know 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.120 people knew. I know the mainstream media knew about it 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.160 based upon what I've read. Of course, the mainstream media 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.720 didn't do anything about it because they were afraid of 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:29.079 the R word. If they covered it, they would be racist. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:34.600 And these elected officials in Minnesota are so beholden to 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.520 the Somali community, they just shrugged their shoulders and let 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.760 it go. That is negligence of the worst kind, and 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:49.280 possibly worse than that. Somebody in the upper echelon's not 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.880 the lower stream guys of Minnesota government has to go 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:58.280 to prison for this because it's just it's unprecedented, and 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.559 it's a joke. It really is. It's the worst financial 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:08.120 scandal in this country's history. Well, Jimmy Kimmel, that's a name. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.040 You probably thought you weren't going to hear the news 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:15.280 too much anymore. He got his ears pinned back to him. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:20.720 Just recently he went to the UK. It just says UK. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.040 I'm assuming that it's London or somewhere in Great Britain. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:31.000 He is facing renewed backlash following his decision to criticize 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.840 the United States during an address to the United Kingdom 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:41.160 that aired on Christmas Day. Real Clear Politics co founder 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:47.040 Tom Bevan dismissed Kimmel's remarks as contradictory and called like 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.960 this and called the late night host insufferable, which, of 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.160 course he is. Kimmel was elected to deliver Channel four 0:11:55.240 --> 0:12:00.400 his annual alternative Christmas Message, a long standing counterprogram speech 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:06.320 that airs opposite the BBC's traditional Royal Christmas. So, you know, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.080 fly over to Great Britain, Okay, have a little fun 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:16.040 over there, then go on national International UK television and 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.280 criticize your country. You know, there used to be an 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.800 unwritten rule for politicians and really anybody that if you 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:29.120 went to another country, you didn't criticize your own country. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.720 If you wanted to do that, you did it at home. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.920 But of course, with today's breed of liberals, that's not 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.040 the thing anymore. Anyway. During the speech, the late night 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.400 hosts repeatedly took aim at President Trump, claiming that quote 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:50.360 tyranny is booming over here close quote in the US, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.640 he booming over here in the US. He also apologized 0:12:55.000 --> 0:13:00.800 on behalf of us, our country, telling the audience, I'm 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.480 gonna say this. You might not believe this one, telling 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:10.040 the audience quote, this is the a hole Jimmy Kimmel quote. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:16.080 We are not bright, we're Americans. Wow, what a way 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.920 to go. You know, I got an idea, you whatever, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.320 Why don't you stay over there? Why don't you stay 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.400 over there? If we're not bright, why would you want 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.440 to come back? You know, you're the one that's not 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.880 too bright, Jimmy Kimmel. This guy is just you thought 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.960 he would have his come up, but he didn't. And 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.440 it's a shame, it really is. We are not bright, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.800 We're Americans. That's what he thinks about you and I. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.280 And he's still on the air anyway. The guy from 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.760 Real Clear Politics and Real Clear Politics I've found to 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.320 be pretty pretty much down the line, maybe lean a 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.160 little bit left. He said. Kimmel's claims don't man, that's 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.680 right about this. Listen to this is logic here. Bevan said, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.280 Kimmel's claims don't make sense given the host meaning Kimmel 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:13.280 continued presence on television, calling him among the most insufferable 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:18.480 trumpeters in America. There's a real contradiction there. If tyranny 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.240 is booming, how can his show be doing so well? 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.880 That's what mister Bevan asked. I don't know that it's 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.960 doing so well. I haven't seen any ratings since he 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.120 went back on the air. My sense is it's probably 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.840 not doing too well. You know, whatever cable system I 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.000 have at my house, one of the channels gets the 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.240 old Johnny Carson shows, and you know what if I'm 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.200 not doing anything and it's on, I'll watch it. What 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.640 a difference between him and this new breed of late 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.920 night talk show hosts. There's no comparison. Carson, if he 0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:00.239 ever did politics, he made sure that he did both sides. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.400 You know, think about it. For those of you in 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.800 my age group, you don't know, and you really couldn't 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:10.600 tell what Johnny Carson's politics were. And that's the way 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.000 it is supposed to be. Then you got the buffoon 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.360 David Letterman. I don't know if you've seen him lately. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.920 I think he thinks he's Santa Claus. He's always always 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.200 sticking it to Trump, always criticizing his country. Don't know 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.920 that he's doing it in someone else's country. But late 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.880 night television used to be a big deal, used to 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.400 be something that maybe you'd want to stay up to 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.000 eleven thirty four. Not anymore. And that's just not me, 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:45.200 that's the people speaking. Here's he says this. If again, 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.440 this is Kimmel, No, I'm sorry, this is mister Bevan. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.400 If you know Tyranny is so If you know tyranny 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.160 is so great in the US, why does Jimmy Kimmel 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.720 get to go on the air every single night and 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.120 bash the resident of the United States. That seems like 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:08.600 a free America. Close quote, and he's absolutely right. There's 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.040 a guy named Paul D. Thacker. The only thing I 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:15.440 could find out about him, he's an investigative journalist and 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.840 he wrote on X a couple of days ago, the 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:25.120 British establishment chose Jimmy Kimmel to speak out against fascism 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.640 and in favor of free speech. This is the same 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:34.720 government that only recently arrested comedian Graham Lenihan. And that's 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.360 a whole different ballgame there. Boy, I'll tell you what 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.720 the UK, in specifically Great Britain, free speeches is going 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.680 out the damn window. I mean, it's like King George 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.280 has come back. It's very very concerning. At any rate, 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:51.800 let me just it's just a sentence. I want to 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.080 read it again. The British establishment chose Jimmy Kimmel to 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.880 speak out against fascism and in favor of free speech. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.400 This is this government that only recently arrested Graham Linehan. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:09.000 Everything is upside down in England. And the funny I 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:13.959 love this the closing and the funniest joke is Jimmy Kimmel. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.639 So you know, if you thought he went away and 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.080 stuck his head in the ground, you're wrong. But guess what, 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.560 I don't think it makes a dimes worth of difference 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:28.200 because nobody's watching that crap anymore. Late night television has 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.280 just ruined itself. I think a guy that a woman, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.280 even whatever, who was funny, kind of a Johnny Carson type, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.840 who got a show like that and stayed out of 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.840 politics or gave it to both sides. I bet you 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.760 that could be pretty successful. But hey, that's just me. Anyway, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.720 we have to take a break for the news, but 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.719 we'll be back. The phone numbers are seven four nine, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.880 seven thousand, won eight hundred. The big one Mike Allen 0:17:54.960 --> 0:18:00.880 Saturday Midday, Mike Allen Saturday Midday. You know, talking to Minnesota, 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.800 and I've been talking about it all week. I've been 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.359 in for us Sloaning three or four days last week. 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:08.639 Now I'm going to, by the way, I'm going to 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.359 be in for him all week this week, nine to noon. 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.280 But it's the big topic among talk show hosts and 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.280 really people that are concerned about what's going on and 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.680 are interested in these things just for the heck of it. 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:31.200 I googled most liberal state in the country and this 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:37.000 thing came up from a group called World Population Review. So, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.879 being the responsible talk show hosts that I am, I 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:46.359 looked into them. World Population Review is an independent data 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:52.160 driven website providing accessible tools population statistics, demographics, blah blah 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.040 blah blah blah. It seems to be pretty straight up. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.800 But I don't know much about them, but at any rate, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:01.480 it might surprise you. I thought for sure, I thought 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:06.040 for sure Minnesota would come up. It did, but only 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.520 at eighteen. So according to this outfit, the most liberal 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.720 state in the Union is Massachusetts. Doesn't surprise me too much. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:22.520 You got Minnesota at eighteen. Where do you think Ohio fell? 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.600 They fell at about thirty eight. They're the thirty eighth 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.159 most liberal state in the country according to this group, 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.760 and that's about right. And the fiftieth and I'm going 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.399 to start looking for apartments there. Tomorrow is Alabama. So 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.359 that's kind of their take on what's going on. But 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.600 I'm going to ask Janis about this. Janis Heisel, she 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.639 will be on at ten o'clock and we've talked about 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.640 this before with her. There's a saying out there it's 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:58.520 called Minnesota nice. And you know, the description I think 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.119 kind of gives the kind of tent that everybody's nice 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.560 in Minnesota. I don't know that's the case. But they're 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.760 open minded about things, I guess, and they're welcoming of 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.959 things different. Okay, I'm not that way, but I get it. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.800 I get it. But what I don't get is, and 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.000 I'll ask her this too, what I don't get is 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:24.920 how these citizens aren't howling. I mean, some of them are, 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:30.200 but sure doesn't seem like many. I mean, you think 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.320 about you know, what I'd like for somebody to do, 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.600 probably wouldn't be that hard given everything we have now, 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.919 which you can do, as statistics is per person in 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.040 the United States of America, per citizen. I should say 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.919 what this whole mess so far in Minnesota has cost 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.240 the average taxpayer. I don't know what it would be yet, 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.479 but probably a better idea if you're going to do that, 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:57.360 to do it, to do it after it's all settled. 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.199 And I'm telling you that's not going to be for 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:06.560 a long long time. Unfortunately, Moving right along here since 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:11.560 apparently nobody wants to talk this morning, Ice and this 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.280 is from Newsmax. I don't know if y'all look at 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.800 Newsmax very much. You know, really, I don't, but when 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.920 I because I just think Fox News predominates over everything. 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.800 It's pretty good though. It HiT's some good stuff, good 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.160 ip eds. Anyway, they published an article the day after 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:33.680 Christmas yesterday Ice. This is a report from ICE. Seventy 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:40.080 percent arrested, meaning illegal aliens had criminal ties seventy percent. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.440 Now that kind of flies in the face what the 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:49.159 mainstream media and the lefties are saying with respect to 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:53.119 who ICE is getting, because Donald Trump did say the 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:58.360 first priority is getting the worst of the worst. However, Okay, 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.119 when you're looking for the of the worst, if you 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:07.320 come across someone who trespassed into our country, which you know, 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.560 guess what Looney left, that is a crime. You are 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.320 violating the law when you do that. So they picked 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:17.480 them up too. It would be uh, it would be 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.760 negligent if they didn't. But here's just a couple of 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.840 paragraphs of what this Newsmax article. There's a lot of 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.760 good stuff in here. It's by Charlie McCarthy. Roughly seventy 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.800 percent of illegal migrants. I don't know why they call 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.360 it that. I'm going to change it here, roughly seventy 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:40.159 percent of illegal immigrants, because migrant to me has a 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:44.840 connotation of legal arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.440 ICE under the second Trump administration reportedly had been convicted 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:54.600 or faced charges for criminal offenses. That's not just in 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:59.320 the United States, it's also criminal charges in the states 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.880 where these people came from. Goes on to say. New 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:07.160 data provided to the Washington Examiner. Boy, that's another good 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:11.280 paper shows Trump administration arrested about five hundred and ninety 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:15.960 five thousand illegal immigrants between January twentieth, when he was 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.520 sworn in, and December eleventh, just a couple of weeks ago. 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:23.639 And that is according to the Department of Homeland Security. 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.320 You know, I was put out a thing saying that 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.400 roughly seventy percent, like I said, which is, I guess 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:34.240 four hundred and sixteen thousand had and I'm quoting from 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:40.639 ICE had quote criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:46.439 the United States, underscoring President Donald Trump's promise to prioritize 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:50.280 the worst of the worst in immigration enforcement. He is 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:54.119 doing that. But what he's not doing, and ICE is 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:58.760 not doing through the President is just letting someone go 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.520 like Biden did. Well, he didn't even try to get him. 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.600 They're still going to be held for what they did, 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:09.679 and that's trespassed into our country. So you got a 0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:12.400 lot of things going on with that. This article goes 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:15.679 on to say that ICE is going to get a 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:20.560 whereas it one hundred and seventy billion dollars in additional 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:26.720 funds in the fiscal year I believe twenty twenty six 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:30.840 or twenty twenty seven, one hundred and seventy billion bucks. 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:34.080 You know, you can hire a lot of ICE officers 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:42.160 with that, which again shows the administration's dedication to responsibility 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:47.600 and enforcing the border. Tom Homan was on the TV 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.840 not too long ago, and he said he went up 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:55.040 in a helicopter, flew around, didn't see anybody sneaking in, 0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.800 got on a four wheeler, drove around, didn't see anybody 0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:02.840 sneaking in. So it's working. Personally, I wish they were 0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.879 getting more than they are, but it sounds like things 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:09.280 are happening. We got some calls here. Let me talk 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:13.400 to Let's see, let me talk to Jesse. This one 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:15.920 might be good. Hey Jesse, how you doing. 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.359 Hi, Mike, This is Jesse from Indiana. 0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:20.840 Okay, thank you for taking my call. 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:23.640 I've listened to you. I've listened to you a few 0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:27.440 times this week, and you keep referring to what's happening 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.200 in Minnesota as negligence. 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:36.639 Now, it's at its easiest, it's negligence. At least, it's negligence. 0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:38.800 That's kind of what I'm saying, Jesse. I probably didn't 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:39.800 make that clear enough. 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:43.320 Well, just I mean, I could be negligent all day long, 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:47.600 and that million dollars is not going to follow my lap, right, 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:49.760 this was this was a criminal action. 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.800 Well, okay, you know again, I don't think I was clear. 0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:57.760 I'm talking about the elected officials. Uh, the elected officials 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.840 who are supposed to be policing that this thing, unless 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.240 some of them are cramming cash into their pockets, which 0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:08.840 is well, then it's Katie bar the door man. The 0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:14.840 federal statute is very hard on elected officials who take money. 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:18.280 I mean, you're talking about twenty thirty, forty years, so 0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:20.680 that's kind of what I meant by it. I should 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:22.600 be a little more clear, though, I preceied you let 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:27.919 me know. Thanks, Michael, Okay, thank you. Yeah, negligence is 0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:31.320 at the bottom, and there are criminal statutes based upon 0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:37.680 negligence in Ohio, it's purposely recklessly or purposely knowingly recklessly 0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:43.160 and negligently. And for the elected officials, if they're stealing 0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:49.639 money or there's something more serious than just gross not 0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:52.720 looking at things like they should, then I think the 0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.919 Crowbar Hotel would be a good place for them. And 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.200 you know, we haven't heard anything about that so far, 0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:02.520 but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. Okay, let's see, 0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:04.840 let's talk to Jerry. He's all the way up in 0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:06.920 Mercer County. Hey, Jerry, how you doing. 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:08.440 Hey? 0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:10.680 You talked about fraud touring them. 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.800 Yeah, that's that's the that's the new coin phrase that 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:15.479 they've coined. 0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:16.440 Yeah. 0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:21.479 On Laura Ingram Show, they had emails from Smalli's in 0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:28.760 Minnesota emailing to some only men in Philadelphia and on 0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.920 the email said that they should come here. They got 0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:33.960 programs here, you can make a lot of money. 0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:37.680 Yep, I heard that too. I'll tell you what it's. 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:42.960 They took fourteen and a half million dollars, bought bitcoins 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.000 with it, and fled the country. 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:50.800 Bitcoins great. Yeah, And you know what, as I said before, Jerry, 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.440 I truly believe this is a tip of the iceberg 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:54.920 on this thing. It really is. 0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:55.480 Now. 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:59.679 I've had collars the last three weeks from Columbus saying, 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.720 of course Columbus has a pretty large uh Somali population. 0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:09.040 I don't think nothing like Minnesota. But the word is 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:13.240 up there, something's coming up there. I haven't heard anything personally, 0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:15.720 but just stand by. 0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:21.359 I didn't hear anything about the Eboch time. Yes, you know, 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:25.120 I'll ask. 0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.399 Her about it. Uh, well, I'll tell you what she 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.320 is on. And she's coming up right next. She's on 0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:34.040 this like White on rice. I mean, again, very very 0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:37.680 in depth reporting. But this thing's going to continue unfold 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:39.560 throughout the year and probably beyond. 0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:43.640 Okay, thanks Jerry, bye bye. 0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.680 Yeah. I mean, at a minimum, at a minimum minimum, 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:52.120 it's negligence with respect to the elected officials. Uh, if 0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:56.200 they're taking money or favors or something like that, that's 0:28:56.240 --> 0:29:01.320 a whole nother ballgame. Hey, let's talk to ye in Xenia. Hey, 0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:03.640 good morning, Jeff, Hey. 0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:05.239 Good morning, my great show. That just one. 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.200 It also too is because I sent actually a email 0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:10.680 to Janis about because when I used to live up 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.920 in Maine, they had a large, small population up there, 0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:15.800 and I said, you ought to really look into it 0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:17.800 up there, because I have no doubt that, you know, 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:21.040 the information travels very quickly when there's easy money on tap, 0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:26.960 and main Main's about as accurate as UH Minnesota is. 0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:29.120 So I wouldn't be surprised if they got some funny 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.800 business going on up there. But I was just wondering, 0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:34.040 you know, with all this stuff in the news and 0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:39.200 supposedly how big this basically fraud is going to get. 0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.760 I am sure that it's a probable USA wide. I 0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:44.000 mean it's Minnesota is. 0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:48.040 A prime example, but you know, it's things like that. 0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:51.720 When people find out that opportunities are there, I think 0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:53.120 they take advantage of them. 0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.520 No question, no questions. And that speaks to the whole 0:29:56.640 --> 0:30:00.520 uh tourism thing, you know what they're saying, it's a 0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:04.280 new tourism thing to get people to come. Hey, everything's easier, 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.400 you can steal money, come on to Minnesota. I mean, 0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:07.960 that's what you. 0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:11.520 Got exactly, And I think there's plenty of people out 0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.000 there that take advantage of it. And you know, these 0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:16.920 politicians when they get these donations, which I really call 0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:20.720 bribery for the most part, that it's it's it's there, 0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:22.960 and they will look the other way because I'm sure 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:28.160 nowadays they have so many either back doors, offshore locations 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:31.280 or the donations however they do it anonymously or everything 0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:33.640 else because you know, and it's it's really going to 0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.720 be a sad state of affairs because the money's gone. 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:38.600 You know, it's not coming back. 0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.000 And the politicians can say, well, I didn't know, or 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:43.640 you know, I'm going to give the money back that 0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:45.960 was donated to women. You took it in the first place, 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.080 you know, that was that was the first crime. 0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:50.920 But the thing is, you know, it's just like Hillary 0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:53.360 when she had all the money from the Clinton Foundation 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.320 and destroying the hard drives things like that. 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:57.560 Whatever happened. Nothing. 0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:02.600 Now that's the biggest uh hornet's nest of corruption. I 0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:06.680 think there is the Clinton Foundation, but there are some 0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.040 There are some politicians if they take money from a 0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.640 group and truly don't know that this group is not 0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.720 a group they should be taking money from. I've seen 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.320 it to where they have either given it back, well, 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.240 they wouldn't give it back because they don't want to 0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:24.440 further the purpose of the group, but given it to charities. 0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:28.120 That happens. But not all that frequently. 0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:30.480 That's true, but that you know, I think the it's 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.600 it's usually okay, some of these politicians that get a 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:35.680 couple of million dollars, okay, so they've done it, you know, 0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:38.280 twenty thirty forty thousand dollars to a charity. You know, 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:41.560 that is you know, it doesn't even come close in 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:45.320 comparison of how much money they pretty much got, you know, 0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:49.320 by illicit means or otherwise. And they seem to be 0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.640 able to hide it extremely well because just like all 0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:56.800 these groups that are supported by Soros, you know, no man, yeah, 0:31:57.000 --> 0:32:00.040 easily found out. But you know how many times in 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.560 the newspaper or on the news, even in Fox that 0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.560 you read that, okay, this politician got x amount from 0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:08.920 the Soros group, you know, and it's it's, it's all. 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.479 They got it very well covered up a lot, and 0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:15.960 I think I think there is so much widespread corruption 0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:19.000 I think in a lot of areas throughout the United 0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:22.160 States that you know, we could reduce our deficit traumatic 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.680 dramatically if we would just go after some of these 0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:26.840 people and make it and make examples of them, because 0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:29.880 you know that if any Republican gets ever caught they're 0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:31.560 purp walked in front of the cameras. 0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:32.520 They're purp. 0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.040 They know that they're going to be breaking into their house, 0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:37.080 or they're there on the news. CNN's right there on 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.000 the spot. But all these other politicians, when you have 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:44.560 democratic leanings, just nothing ever really happens that I've seen. 0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:47.640 Let me ask you this, Jeff. You've obviously looked at 0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:50.280 this problem and or paying attention to it. Do you, 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:52.920 in your heart of hearts think that somewhere in this 0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:57.320 whole damn thing, there's some politician elected officials somewhere shoving 0:32:57.400 --> 0:32:59.120 cash in his pocket. Do you believe that? 0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:00.720 Obviously? 0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:03.960 I mean, well, it's like what I would love to see. 0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:06.200 You know, they keep bringing up Pelosi's name and the 0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.840 four hundred million cheese work, you know, of earning two 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:12.280 hundred thousand a year, and she leaves forty years later 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:15.160 a four hundred million in her pocket. You know, as 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.200 well as many other politicians on both sides have done this. 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:20.959 You know, they were supposed to pass the law that 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.400 that was going to be taken care of, and they 0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:25.800 never really did. It's still going on. You know, why 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:29.680 can't you know they come to a consensus because Obviously 0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.600 we're the ones that elect these people. Why can't they 0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:34.560 come to a consensus, say, you know what, this is 0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.520 illegal and if you get caught doing it, there's gonna 0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:40.160 be serious ramifications because they need to do something. 0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.560 That's what it should be. Hey, I'm bumping up against 0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:42.960 the news. 0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:44.040 But hey, thanks a lot, Mike. 0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:47.720 Okay, Okay, thank you, great call. Yeah, you know, I 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.720 don't know. I mean I kind of thought maybe they 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:53.440 weren't shoving the dough in their pocket, but maybe they are. Hey, 0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.120 we do have to take a break for the news, 0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.000 but when we get back, we are going to talk 0:33:57.000 --> 0:34:01.560 to James about the whole rotten hornes. It's nest in Minnesota. 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.680 But I did want to say, if you are holding 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.280 up to get on the air, I got an open 0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:12.920 line deal ten thirty to eleven and eleven thirty to twelve, 0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:17.600 So just keep that in mind. Mike Allen Saturday midday, Well, 0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:21.560 I'll tell you what abeat goes on in Minnesota. With 0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:26.000 this fraud that they've uncovered out there. It seems to 0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:29.840 me like the thought is there at least at nine 0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:34.320 billion dollars and probably headed for quite a bit more. 0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:37.640 Janis Heisel of The Epoch Times has been on this 0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:41.480 story like white on Rice in my opinion and in 0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:46.000 Newt Gingrich's opinion as well. She is the national reporter 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:50.840 that's covering this thing the most thoroughly, and she filed 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:55.640 three stories this week. One a very very comprehensive story. 0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:59.439 If you're interested, and you haven't you haven't read any 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:03.280 of her stuff yet. This one is how Minnesota Minnesota nice, 0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:07.360 and Janis is gonna explain that how Minnesota nice progressive 0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.960 policy's paved the way for Somali fraud. Janie, thanks so 0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:12.720 much for joining us this morning. 0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:16.880 Well, thank you, well, An, I appreciate that. 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:20.080 Up are very Christmas I mean, Merry Christmas to you too. 0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:24.880 I'll tell you what. This story goes twenty three pages, 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.759 and it is I mean, it's got everything in it. 0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:31.840 And as I said, I think the plot just thickens, 0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:32.319 doesn't it. 0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:36.359 Oh, it's hard to even know where to start in 0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:36.759 some ways. 0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:39.840 Yeah, right, Yeah, what's the new? What did you find 0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:43.440 out since we last talked. I know, the fraud is 0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.120 just it just keeps going up and up and up. 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:48.680 But just kind of some of the major points that 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.040 you have discovered recently. 0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:54.080 Well, you know, It's almost like one of those soap 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:57.439 operas that people were addicted to back in the day 0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:01.359 when we last left our you know, our bad guy. 0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.600 Here's what was going on. And the latest thing that 0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:08.400 happened was just a couple of days ago, Kelly Loffler, 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:11.839 who is the head of the Small Business Administration, wrote 0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:15.480 a letter to Tim Wallash telling him that she's cutting 0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:18.279 off five point five million dollars. Now, that sounds like 0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:20.360 a drop in the bucket, and when you compare it 0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:24.920 to nine billion dollars, but it is, you know, a 0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:28.319 chunk of money that you know, she's saying, Look, you're 0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:31.160 not going to get this money because Minnesota cannot be 0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:36.080 trusted to safeguard these taxpayer dollars. So that's the start, 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:39.400 and there's also quite a few efforts to try to 0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.640 claw back some of the money from the people who 0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:43.880 have already been convicted. 0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:45.760 But Mike, as you know as a. 0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:49.239 Former prosecutor, the forfeiture process is not a flick the 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:50.560 switch and you've got the money. 0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:51.840 It takes a while. 0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:55.120 It takes a while if it happens at all, and 0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:58.839 if people in Minnesota are counting on restitution to make 0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:01.520 the taxpayers hole I'm telling you right now, it ain't 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.200 gonna happen, and it's not even gonna come close. In 0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.200 your story that I talked about in the intro Minnesota 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:10.759 Nice Progressive Policies at page four, I just want to 0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:14.319 read one paragraph here because it's just incredible. You talk 0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:17.120 to a guy named Ed, just a normal citizen, I guess, 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.440 and he said, this is Ed. There's a willingness to 0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:25.279 help everybody without any consequences. And then you write, this 0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:29.360 attitude made the state a beacon for progressives. It also 0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:33.800 manifested in generous welfare benefits. Here it is in twenty 0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:38.239 twenty three, those programs that you've described previously doled out 0:37:38.280 --> 0:37:43.560 forty six thousand dollars for each person in poverty in Minnesota, 0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:49.840 which is the nation's second highest amount, behind only Massachusetts. 0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:53.520 When I saw that forty six thousand buck figure, I mean, 0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:57.280 you know, ibou lost it, and that's forty six thousand 0:37:57.360 --> 0:38:01.839 probably most of our money, national money from all over 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:05.080 the United States. I mean, that's pretty incredible, wouldn't you think. 0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:07.200 Jeez? 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:10.000 I tell you, just anytime the dollar amounts start to 0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:13.840 come out about this whole scandal, it's just eye popping 0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:17.040 another one that is a lot of people are not 0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:19.719 really pointing out or reporting on that. I do mention 0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:25.680 in that story is that Minnesota actually had an eighteen 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:30.480 billion dollar budget surplus. Every bit of that is gone 0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:34.440 and then some and in just one two year period, 0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:36.520 in fact, they are now looking at being in the 0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:40.680 hole by three billion dollars. And I'm telling you, the 0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:44.280 people I've spoken to who are ordinary taxpayers are hot 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:47.839 about that, and they are feeling it because they are 0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:51.680 seeing their property taxes go up because of the fact 0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:56.440 that number one inflation over the last several years prior 0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:58.759 to the current administration, there are a lot of policies 0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:02.279 put in place that inflation did go up and the 0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:05.000 health values went up, and therefore the taxes went up. 0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:08.760 Plus new taxes are being piled on top of citizens 0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:12.640 to pay for these mandates coming from the state government. 0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:15.560 And I'm telling you, people just feel the squeeze there. 0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:19.560 It's it's really people are are not are very unhappy. 0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:21.080 I will say the ones that I've spoken to. 0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:24.719 Are yeah, sures. And that's a theme that runs through 0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.920 this story. You know, if you would, for my listeners, 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:32.160 explain what you mean by Minnesota nice and it's you 0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:35.600 use that term in uh a lot of your stories 0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:38.239 and it makes perfect sense. Will you just explain what 0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:41.120 that is? And I guess along with that the attitude 0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:43.160 that they have some of them out there. 0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:48.560 Well, the term Minnesota and nice. I was actually told 0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:52.000 it originated from a type of granite found there because 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:54.640 it's felled g N E I S S and that's 0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:59.000 pronounced nice. But the kind of you know, manifesting in 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:02.520 a way of life, it's almost like the people came 0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:05.399 from Norway. A lot of people there, and there's this 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:10.120 attitude where you're kind of you're semi warm, but semi frosty. 0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:13.239 At the same time they're saying is that a Minnesotan 0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:16.759 will give you directions to anywhere except to his own 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:21.480 front door. So their hospitality is kind of more on 0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:25.560 the surface. And as that guy ed said so succinctly, 0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:30.399 when people are wanting to give and say, oh, I'm 0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:35.360 trying to help impoverish people or hungry children or autistic children, 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:39.719 there is a cultural tendency to just not ask that 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:43.520 very many questions about that. There's also not much of 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:48.399 a question, oh I need help. So when you don't 0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:52.520 ask questions of either the givers or the receivers within 0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:55.160 a government system, and you don't have checks and balances 0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:58.320 in place, that's a recipe for trouble. 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.640 Yeah, there's no question about it. And that's a theme 0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:04.600 that kind of runs through your story. At page seven, 0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.799 you talk about the former assistant US Attorney I think 0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.960 it's his name is Joe Thompson who worked on some 0:41:11.000 --> 0:41:15.600 of the cases. Oh no, Joe Tireb. I guess outlined 0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:19.200 fraud fueling factors in this case. And then you know, 0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:22.120 here's the weenie as they say, this is a quote 0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:25.239 from the former US attorney. Yeah, folks, coming from a 0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:28.400 society with high levels of corruption. Of course he's talking 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:32.600 about Somollians. You mix that with a government handout system 0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:37.040 that has almost no checks and balances, and that's just 0:41:37.400 --> 0:41:41.960 a perfect storm for high levels of corruption. Would you 0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:44.439 agree with me that in many ways, that's pretty much 0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:46.239 the problem there in a nutshell. 0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:50.200 Well, I quoted him for a reason. You know, the 0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:54.160 man did prosecute a lot of these cases. And you know, again, 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:58.520 part of the whole Minnesota Knighte and progressive culture is 0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:01.880 that you know, include lusiveness, that whole inclusive thing, and 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.879 you don't want to say anything bad about people from 0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:08.560 other countries or ethnic groups, because you know, it could 0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:12.520 be viewed as racism. And so when people in the 0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:16.319 inside of the system started to see, hey, this isn't right. 0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:18.960 How is it that this place claims to be feeding 0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.560 you know, three thousand kids in one day and they 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:26.680 just started operating yesterday. You know, when they're asking questions 0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:30.840 about this, they're saying, don't say anything about that. You 0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:33.160 could be viewed as racist or worse. Some of these 0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:38.719 whistleblowers have alleged that they were even surveilled or had 0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:41.800 discipline and action taken against them when they tried to 0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:44.640 raise concerns. So there are many, many layers to this 0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:48.080 whole terrible situation there in Minnesota. But I would like 0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:50.799 to point out, as bad as it is in Minnesota, 0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:53.760 there may be states where it's worse. I'm looking into 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:57.160 trying to do more of a state a nationwide picture 0:42:57.640 --> 0:42:58.880 of what fraud looks like. 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:02.040 Wish me luck with that, absolutely, And I think I 0:43:02.080 --> 0:43:04.920 might have told you I've had any numbers of callers 0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:09.279 on my Saturday show saying that and pointing to Columbus, 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:12.560 and a couple of them said, hey, you know, stand 0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:15.239 by because something's coming out of there too. Have you 0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:18.000 heard anything about that? 0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:20.960 That is actually on my very long list of follow 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:24.080 up stories to try to get to. I'm one reporter, 0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:27.000 but man, it was sure to be nice to have 0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:29.560 a team of us working on this. But you know, 0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:33.000 we're a lean and mean operation and you know, try 0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:36.280 to do our very best with with you know, just 0:43:36.320 --> 0:43:39.239 a smaller staff. But I tell you what, I'm I'm 0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:41.080 very aware of that. I've heard some things about that. 0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:44.600 I haven't substantiated anything along those lines, but it is 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.800 on my list of things to definitely look into. 0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:50.880 You know, the stories you crank out, in the detail 0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:56.520 within which you crank them out is absolutely incredible. It's phenomenal. 0:43:56.840 --> 0:43:58.719 I mean, you know, this just isn't some kind of 0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:01.600 opinion piece. It said, boy, this is horrible. You drill 0:44:01.719 --> 0:44:04.800 down on it, and I know I appreciate it. I 0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:08.160 think everybody else does too. But one thing too, and 0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:11.440 this I don't. Oh okay, this is from Joe Thompson, 0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:14.080 a quote that again I think, kind of just boils 0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:18.319 it all down. Minnesota's fraud ridden programs all have one 0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:21.520 thing in common, and I know from reading your stories 0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:25.240 this is absolutely right. The one thing in common sudden 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:30.040 explosive growth. According to figures, you know, the way these 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:34.600 the amounts spent on these programs just skyrocket. I know 0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:39.160 one of them I've read in your reporting for supposedly 0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:43.000 helping I think it was disabled children. They were billing 0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:47.160 at twelve bucks or excuse me, twelve hours per day. 0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:50.560 And that doesn't make any sense. And that one had 0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:53.319 explosive growth sounds to me like that's kind of a 0:44:53.320 --> 0:44:54.560 common factor. 0:44:56.520 --> 0:44:59.960 Right, And that is started at like it was project 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:04.399 to cost two point two point two million a year, 0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:10.160 went up to one hundred and seventy million within about three years. 0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:12.960 And you know what, it's just incredible. You got a 0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:17.719 governor who, you know, at the end of the day, 0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:20.839 he's supposed to be watching what's going on. There is 0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:22.879 no way that if this was happening in the state 0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:27.080 of Ohio, I guarantee you that Mike DeWine would know 0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:29.880 about it and would have done something about it. And 0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:33.560 as you said and others have said as well, and 0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:36.920 again with respect to media reporting, nobody wants to be 0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:40.600 called a racist, So this nonsense goes on. I mean, 0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:46.359 it's just incredible. What's next on your list Janis. With 0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:48.120 respect to this, I know you mentioned you're going to 0:45:48.160 --> 0:45:49.120 start looking at other. 0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:53.959 States, right Well, looking at other states is a big deal. 0:45:55.000 --> 0:46:00.319 Also trying to bring out some more information about where 0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:06.359 the money went. I have obtained some federal court exhibits 0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:12.720 that show vehicles and checks and you know, other documentations 0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:17.520 showing how millions of dollars of the taxpayer's money went 0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:22.359 to things that most people would be pretty upset to see. 0:46:23.480 --> 0:46:26.000 Just trying to show where that money went. And uh, 0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:31.239 also about the forfeiture process, how difficult that is. One 0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:34.680 of the lawmakers I interviewed told me that technically the 0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:38.759 taxpayers of Minnesota now on a bakery here in Ohio. 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:44.239 The quote own is in quotes, you know, because that 0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:47.560 was one of the things that that reportedly was purchased 0:46:47.560 --> 0:46:49.640 with some of these ill gotten games. 0:46:49.800 --> 0:46:50.040 Yep. 0:46:50.440 --> 0:46:54.040 And it goes on and on and on. I know 0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:56.839 you don't do politics. I know you don't report on 0:46:56.920 --> 0:47:00.239 politics text you report on facts. But I've been ask 0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:03.040 you this I think a couple of times before. I mean, 0:47:03.120 --> 0:47:06.400 the heat's got to be building under Governor Waltz to 0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:09.319 get the hell out of there and resign. Have you 0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:11.399 heard anything more about that. 0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:19.040 Well, the one of the Trump cabinet members, Lenna McMahon, 0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:22.360 the head of the education departments, Yees pointed out about 0:47:22.360 --> 0:47:25.760 these ghost students, uh, people who were receiving a bunch 0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:28.719 of money for never even attending school or maybe even 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:32.400 didn't exist. These people didn't even exist, are you know 0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:37.600 money going out? She faulted him for that. Now, in 0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:39.640 his defense, some people are saying things like, you know, 0:47:40.160 --> 0:47:43.200 the head guy can't know everything, but when there, when 0:47:43.239 --> 0:47:46.319 it's this multifaceted, a lot of people are saying, in 0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:49.440 fact what you said, which is that they believe he 0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:53.319 had to at least know, and the whistleblader blowers are 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:57.000 saying that they told him. And on top of it, yes, 0:47:57.160 --> 0:48:00.560 there are there. These mayors didn't go so far as 0:48:00.640 --> 0:48:03.800 saying that, you know, we want you to resign Tim Walls, 0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:10.040 but one hundred mayors in Minnesota banded together and sent 0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:12.279 a letter his way. Now, maybe you know, I know 0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:15.600 the public's tired of letters, letters, letters, but you know 0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:20.840 this one, when one hundred mayors are signing it, you 0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:23.880 know that is a much louder microphone and so to speak, 0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:29.080 or megaphones than just one lone voice or you know, 0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:32.520 making a post on social media. So they're saying, look, 0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:37.600 our communities are hurting. This has to stop. We demand accountability. 0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:40.239 And they were asking it of not just him, but 0:48:40.280 --> 0:48:41.920 also the state lawmakers. 0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:45.200 Yeah, I mean they have to have it. I've never 0:48:45.239 --> 0:48:47.800 seen anything like this. I've been around quite a while, 0:48:47.880 --> 0:48:50.480 and I think it's just going to keep getting bigger 0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:53.320 and bigger. One thing, I just want to read a quote. 0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:56.160 This is mainly for the listeners of something that Waltz said. 0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:59.359 It's just the guy's just he's not based in the 0:48:59.360 --> 0:49:03.320 real world. He's in dream world three or somewhere else. Okay, 0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:06.560 this is the governor. This is outrageous. I expect political 0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:10.360 attacks in an election year, said Waltz, whose re election 0:49:10.440 --> 0:49:16.439 bid faces at least ten Republican challengers, including Robins. He's 0:49:16.480 --> 0:49:20.240 a state I think rep Okay, here's what he says, Waltz, 0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:25.440 what is unacceptable is actively withholding information about fraud and 0:49:25.560 --> 0:49:30.799 blocking investigations in order to advance a political agenda. If 0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:33.799 there is fraud, it needs to be investigated immediately, not 0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:39.000 sat on, redirected, or used for political theater. In your reporting, 0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:42.520 which has been extensive, I mean relatively short period of time. 0:49:42.760 --> 0:49:47.040 Have you seen any evidence of any of that, withholding information, 0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:52.919 blocking investigations in order to advance a political agenda. 0:49:53.080 --> 0:49:55.640 Well, it's certainly not on the inside of all of that, 0:49:55.760 --> 0:49:59.239 But no, I haven't seen that. What he's actually responding 0:49:59.320 --> 0:50:04.040 to is a representative. Robin's a lady who has the 0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:08.880 fraud you know, Anti fraud and Committee in the House 0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:13.960 of Representatives there in Minnesota. She uh, you know, said, look, 0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:18.000 I have whistle blowers coming to me. They've they've come 0:50:18.080 --> 0:50:21.719 out at this Uh, there's like an online portal where 0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:26.480 they can they are guaranteed the anonymity. Apparently, hundreds of 0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:29.799 whistle blowers who work for the state well Welfare Department 0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:35.040 have come forward and made allegations and provided the information 0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:38.560 to her and other members of the committee. She says 0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:42.120 she doesn't feel comfortable giving that to the Attorney general 0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:45.600 or the other, you know, members of the government in 0:50:45.640 --> 0:50:47.680 the state, so she gives it. 0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:49.320 To the US Attorney's office. 0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:52.800 She's like, these people don't trust you. The whistle blowing 0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:57.400 would stop if it went to you guys, because allegedly 0:50:57.480 --> 0:50:59.960 you guys sat on it. You're the ones who's sat 0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:03.400 on it. Now he's accusing her of quote unquote just 0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:06.719 not doing anything with it or sitting on it. And 0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:10.719 she's saying, no, I hint the information over. As soon 0:51:10.760 --> 0:51:14.319 as we investigate that it's credible, we send it over 0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:18.440 to the US Attorney's office, the FBI, other appropriate agencies. 0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:21.680 And he's after he heard this. She said this at 0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:24.640 a public meeting. That was his response that he accused 0:51:24.719 --> 0:51:27.000 her of hiding information. 0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:30.680 Jeez, well, we're out of time, Jannis. I can't thank 0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:32.839 you enough. And I know my listeners feel the same 0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:36.160 way because they tell me how much we appreciate you 0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:38.480 filling us in on this because you're keyed in and 0:51:38.920 --> 0:51:41.080 hope we can continue to call on you. 0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:45.560 Yeah, any tips about Ohio, feel free to contact me. 0:51:47.000 --> 0:51:48.560 The easiest way to do that is just to go 0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:48.960 on my. 0:51:48.960 --> 0:51:52.760 Twitter and you can see it, says Janis highful, Hi, 0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:55.600 sle has my email address right there. It's harder to 0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:58.239 explain on the air to just go to my ex 0:51:58.320 --> 0:52:02.640 account Twitter or go to Epoch epoh Times and you 0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:04.279 can try to find me on there. 0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:09.520 Sounds good, Thanks Janis, thank you. Okay, all right, well 0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:12.239 I'll tell you what. Like I said, the plot thickens 0:52:12.360 --> 0:52:16.160 and she's all over it. It's just hard to grasp 0:52:16.920 --> 0:52:20.799 just the breadth of this thing, I mean, and it 0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:25.120 just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And accountability that's what's 0:52:25.239 --> 0:52:28.120 needed here, and I hope at some point we get it. 0:52:29.800 --> 0:52:33.280 Ten thirty eight News Radio seven hundred W Mike Allen 0:52:33.400 --> 0:52:35.960 Saturday Midday. Going to get to the calls here in 0:52:36.120 --> 0:52:38.600 just a second, as promised, But there is something I 0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:39.760 want to read. It's brief. 0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:40.840 You know. 0:52:40.920 --> 0:52:44.680 I am so blessed in this job to have listeners 0:52:44.680 --> 0:52:47.239 who are tuned in and know what's going on. And 0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:52.560 occasionally those that I know will text me, Okay, I 0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:56.960 got one not too long ago talking about the lieutenant 0:52:57.000 --> 0:53:01.160 governor Flanagan from Minnesota who wants to be the next 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:07.360 Minnesota senator, talking about her this here's the text. This 0:53:07.520 --> 0:53:12.839 Flannagan chick in Minnesota that's wearing a hajib is Irish. Yeah, 0:53:13.000 --> 0:53:17.880 Flannagan Irish? I get it. If so, that's cultural appropriation 0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:22.799 and these are my words and the liberals hate that, 0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:26.600 all right. The text goes on, if it's not I'm 0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:31.600 going to dress as an Indian squaw for Halloween. Goes 0:53:31.640 --> 0:53:34.200 on to say, Mike, when the worst of the worst 0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:37.320 are with others. They are probably a little bit less worse. 0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:41.480 I agree. It's kind of like MS thirteen members are 0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:46.240 only allowed to hang out with other MS thirteen members 0:53:47.040 --> 0:53:51.600 snatched them up and makes the point. They found that 0:53:51.719 --> 0:53:57.200 Ilhan Omar and Tampon Tim Waltz received campaign donations from 0:53:57.239 --> 0:54:00.279 these and from these those billions. You know, I don't 0:54:00.280 --> 0:54:02.560 know if you could trace it to the billions, but 0:54:02.680 --> 0:54:06.200 I do know, at least I've heard, I even drilled 0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:08.719 down on it, that that's exactly what happened, you know, 0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:11.480 in one of them. I guess it's il Han Homer, 0:54:11.760 --> 0:54:16.320 i Owmar head a fundraiser, political fundraiser at a restaurant 0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:20.279 that one of these jokers runs. And you know what 0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:24.080 I mean. That's not proving anything, but you're certainly allowed 0:54:24.080 --> 0:54:26.279 to comment on it and read into it what you want. 0:54:26.320 --> 0:54:29.239 But anyway, I'm really blessed to have listeners like that, 0:54:29.480 --> 0:54:33.239 and I so appreciate it. Okay, let's get back to 0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:35.960 the calls. Who's been hanging on the longest. Kathleen in 0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:38.760 College Hill, Hey, good morning, Kathleen. 0:54:39.360 --> 0:54:43.160 Well, thanks mine for taking my call. Yesterday you were 0:54:43.200 --> 0:54:46.440 talking about the prosecution and errors that they had made. 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:50.840 There's a lot of problems in the County common please. 0:54:51.840 --> 0:54:55.080 There was a judge that he would not allow us 0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:59.800 to cross examine Vanessa Wilberly on things that she pursued 0:54:59.800 --> 0:55:03.040 her self about. For example, she said somebody died from 0:55:03.080 --> 0:55:06.040 the fire. Nobody died from the fire, Yet judge would 0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:09.319 not let us cross examine her on that. Over one 0:55:09.400 --> 0:55:13.239 hundred members of the board of the Hammond North Condominium 0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:18.640 Association voted to remove Vanessa Wilberly. The judge thought that 0:55:18.800 --> 0:55:20.600 was a side show and wouldn't. 0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:21.359 Listen to it. 0:55:21.600 --> 0:55:22.200 He would not. 0:55:22.239 --> 0:55:27.520 Allow us to call the president of the Hammon North Board, 0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:32.040 George Alexander. And the reason I hope you're sitting down. 0:55:32.200 --> 0:55:37.080 The reason is because poor George Alexander, the. 0:55:36.680 --> 0:55:39.880 President of the Hammon North Comomitium Board, would have to 0:55:39.960 --> 0:55:46.680 use his PTO to come to court. The judge said 0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:46.960 that he. 0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:47.879 Was going to rule on. 0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:52.200 He was going to rule based on the Ohio revised call. 0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.840 Kathleen, you got to kind of wrap it up. I 0:55:55.880 --> 0:55:57.400 got a lot of callers here. 0:55:58.280 --> 0:55:59.880 Yes, I know, and I've only been on hold for 0:56:00.040 --> 0:56:00.560 over an hour. 0:56:01.280 --> 0:56:03.720 The judge, well, we can take care of that. Let's 0:56:04.080 --> 0:56:07.920 go ahead and we'll move on, you know. And I 0:56:08.000 --> 0:56:09.560 don't mean to be a jerk about it, but I 0:56:09.560 --> 0:56:12.480 don't know anything about what she's talking about. And I 0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:15.719 didn't say the prosecutors made a lot of mistakes. I 0:56:15.760 --> 0:56:20.200 don't the current prosecutor, Commy Pillach's of a different political 0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:22.680 party than me. But I think she's doing pretty darn 0:56:22.719 --> 0:56:25.799 good jobs so far. But anyway, enough of that. I 0:56:25.880 --> 0:56:28.080 know she's probably mad at me. But how the hell 0:56:28.080 --> 0:56:29.960 am I going to comment on something I don't even 0:56:30.080 --> 0:56:34.920 know about. Let's talk to Fred in sunny Saint Petersburg. 0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:35.680 How you doing? 0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:37.400 Do it? 0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:37.680 Fine? 0:56:38.200 --> 0:56:42.560 Just a quick follow up on that surplus of eighteen billion? Yeah, 0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:47.680 in Minnesota, back when that was when the politicians were saying, 0:56:47.719 --> 0:56:49.759 oh look what we got. We got eighteen billion next 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:52.360 or we're going to send you off checks. It started 0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:55.560 out they were going to send checks and rebates of 0:56:55.719 --> 0:56:59.959 two thousand everybody, Okay, right. It ended up not being 0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:05.319 that much. Number one people did get checks and get rebates. 0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:09.240 However, they had a company in Montana. 0:57:09.360 --> 0:57:12.359 Write the checks or you know, print the checks for 0:57:12.440 --> 0:57:17.720 some reason who knows, probably cronies, and the checks were 0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:21.280 mailed out in envelopes that looked just like junk mail, 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:23.520 and a lot of people just. 0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:24.120 Threw them away. 0:57:24.360 --> 0:57:29.920 Wow yeah, and uh and like hundreds of thousands of people, 0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:35.040 you know, threw them away just and you know that 0:57:35.160 --> 0:57:38.680 was on purpose. That just goes to show what these people, 0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:41.680 they don't care about the people at all. 0:57:41.920 --> 0:57:44.840 No, that's obvious, awful, it's disgusting. 0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:47.880 It is And this is one you know, the big 0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:52.040 kind of keyword now is affordability, and of course that's important, 0:57:52.080 --> 0:57:57.080 but frankly, I think what's more important is accountability. These 0:57:57.240 --> 0:58:01.040 jokers from tim Walls all the way down need to 0:58:01.040 --> 0:58:04.040 be held accountable for this because I mean, this is 0:58:04.280 --> 0:58:07.040 easily and again I think we've only scratched the surface. 0:58:07.360 --> 0:58:10.920 This is easily the biggest fraud case we've ever had 0:58:10.960 --> 0:58:13.680 in this country. And guess what, it ain't over. You know, 0:58:14.280 --> 0:58:17.960 it's hard to fathom that something like that would go on. 0:58:18.040 --> 0:58:21.760 It's even harder to fathom that the governor and apparently 0:58:21.800 --> 0:58:26.880 the lieutenant governor of that state didn't do anything about it. 0:58:26.840 --> 0:58:28.400 It's go ahead. 0:58:28.400 --> 0:58:31.800 I'm sorry, Well no, no, I didn't mean the to 0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:32.240 go ahead. 0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:35.760 Well, I was just gonna say it just strange credulity 0:58:35.880 --> 0:58:37.960 to think that they didn't know about it. And then 0:58:38.000 --> 0:58:40.600 Tim Wallas a couple of days ago, about a week ago, 0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:44.000 I'm putting together this task force. If you do this, 0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:47.360 you're going in Minnesota. You're going to jail. Hey where 0:58:47.360 --> 0:58:49.959 were you about five, six, seven years ago? 0:58:50.040 --> 0:58:51.439 Governor? Oh? 0:58:51.520 --> 0:58:52.200 Sure, I know? 0:58:52.640 --> 0:58:56.120 You know what else? All these other cities, it's going 0:58:56.200 --> 0:58:59.200 to happen in Cincinnati if it hasn't already. Calmbus is 0:58:59.240 --> 0:59:02.760 into it. I heard, Maine, all these other places. Can 0:59:02.800 --> 0:59:05.520 you imagine all these people They're going to go write 0:59:05.560 --> 0:59:09.439 their checks to the to the tax band and as 0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:11.240 they're writing that number down. 0:59:11.080 --> 0:59:12.479 They're going to have this in their mind. 0:59:12.720 --> 0:59:14.760 Yep, how how many? 0:59:14.920 --> 0:59:16.560 How much can the people take? 0:59:16.840 --> 0:59:18.920 I mean, eventually people are gonna say, you know what, 0:59:19.160 --> 0:59:21.040 I ain't paying my freaking taxes. 0:59:21.240 --> 0:59:24.480 You know, I'm telling you that there may be a 0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:28.560 revolt along those lines. And you know what it would 0:59:28.640 --> 0:59:32.960 be I think justifiable, because this is just enough. These 0:59:33.040 --> 0:59:36.320 liberals they think, well, you know what, it's all for 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:38.959 a good cause, blah blah blah, and there's no way 0:59:39.000 --> 0:59:43.480 they'd be stealing it. And screw the taxpayers who are 0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:46.960 giving us this money. It's just and it's like I said, 0:59:47.400 --> 0:59:50.360 stay tuned on it. I appreciate the call though, Thank you, 0:59:51.000 --> 0:59:55.840 Thanks Fred J. Yeah, you know, I'm a taxpayer. I'm 0:59:55.840 --> 0:59:57.960 gonna have to write that check pretty soon coming up, 0:59:58.000 --> 1:00:01.360 and I don't like writing it and giving it to 1:00:01.400 --> 1:00:04.720 the government thinking that a chunk of it maybe going 1:00:04.800 --> 1:00:09.000 to this crap to finance these people from Somalia and 1:00:09.120 --> 1:00:12.520 again ninety percent of them. I'm sorry, Liberals, I'm going 1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:15.400 to continue to say that, you know that are ripping 1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:18.200 off our country. And you know, he brought something up 1:00:18.240 --> 1:00:20.760 that just I hadn't thought of it. I think it's brewing. 1:00:21.320 --> 1:00:23.920 At some point. I think the people are going to 1:00:24.040 --> 1:00:26.960 rise up on this thing. And if the people of 1:00:27.000 --> 1:00:31.880 Minnesota don't, they're crazy. Anyway. Let's see Barry has been 1:00:31.880 --> 1:00:34.640 holding on forever. Hey Barry, how you doing. 1:00:35.920 --> 1:00:38.439 Good morning, Merry Christmas belatedly to. 1:00:38.320 --> 1:00:41.360 Everybody, you too, pretty good, Pretty good. 1:00:44.360 --> 1:00:47.960 I wanted to ask if you could explain to me 1:00:49.240 --> 1:00:55.439 why Amy one would vote for police stake COVID shutdown 1:00:56.000 --> 1:00:57.000 Amy Atkins. 1:00:57.880 --> 1:00:59.960 You know, I was surprised that she was the king. 1:01:00.440 --> 1:01:02.960 I thought they would have had, you know, a bigger name. 1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:06.760 Now the Democrats are struggling statewide now. But and I 1:01:06.760 --> 1:01:09.960 don't know much about her, but I and the early 1:01:10.160 --> 1:01:14.640 polls were is Vivek was really killing her. I think 1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:18.040 they've they've evened out now. It probably be a battle. 1:01:18.200 --> 1:01:21.880 I'd put my money on Ramaswami, though I can't answer 1:01:21.880 --> 1:01:24.680 your question because you know what, I don't know. Seems 1:01:24.680 --> 1:01:26.440 like a nice lady, But I wouldn't vote. 1:01:26.240 --> 1:01:30.920 For and now just years and years of being on 1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:36.480 the wrong side of anything that matters between abortion and 1:01:36.640 --> 1:01:40.880 she was an early Obama supporter, an early Clinton supporter, 1:01:41.840 --> 1:01:44.560 whatever it was important, she just got it wrong. 1:01:45.320 --> 1:01:47.080 Yeah, you know, and I agree with you on that, 1:01:48.000 --> 1:01:52.680 especially with respect to the COVID thing. Uh yeah, again 1:01:52.880 --> 1:01:55.360 it's I'm going to watch the polls on this, but 1:01:55.680 --> 1:01:58.400 I was really shocked to find that they had it 1:01:58.520 --> 1:02:01.240 kind of evened out now. So thank Ramaswami. I think 1:02:01.240 --> 1:02:03.320 it'd be a hell of an Ohio governor and I 1:02:03.400 --> 1:02:07.320 think that he will run a really good campaign and 1:02:07.440 --> 1:02:09.880 win out at the end. But you know, you ask 1:02:09.960 --> 1:02:12.320 a question. It's a good question Berry that well, I 1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:15.040 can't answer. I do not know why anybody'd vote for. 1:02:16.120 --> 1:02:19.240 You know, as things stand today, if I had to 1:02:19.360 --> 1:02:22.840 vote tomorrow, I'd probably vote for Vivid, but I'm going 1:02:22.920 --> 1:02:27.480 to wait until election day and see what's out because 1:02:27.560 --> 1:02:30.920 if you vote a month or two early, you're just missing. 1:02:30.600 --> 1:02:33.240 Something well you know what, And that brings up a 1:02:33.240 --> 1:02:35.800 good point. You're right about that. But on the other hand, 1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:42.000 everybody's saying that within the Republican leadership that hey, you know, 1:02:42.120 --> 1:02:44.920 vote early, vote early, vote early, and we can bank 1:02:44.960 --> 1:02:49.920 those votes. So last two elections because of that, I've 1:02:49.960 --> 1:02:52.240 voted early. But I know what you're saying. I mean, 1:02:52.280 --> 1:02:55.080 you vote a month early and the candidate that you 1:02:56.120 --> 1:02:59.720 voted for implode, You're screwed. I know what you're saying. 1:03:01.640 --> 1:03:05.000 So yeah, you know, I always take half a day 1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:07.200 off go vote. They can go get breakfast somewhere. 1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:09.840 But not everyone can do that, I know. 1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:13.400 And you know what, I loved and still loved because 1:03:13.720 --> 1:03:16.800 it was just the off year election just a few 1:03:16.800 --> 1:03:20.080 months ago. I loved going to the polling place to vote. 1:03:20.360 --> 1:03:23.200 You know, you do it, and you think, man, I'm 1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:26.200 proud to be and lucky to be an American. I 1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:28.360 like it. I wish they'd get rid of it, but 1:03:28.400 --> 1:03:30.200 they have to get rid of it. Across the board, 1:03:30.240 --> 1:03:32.160 and I don't think that's going to happen the way 1:03:32.160 --> 1:03:35.040 it used to be. It used to be the only 1:03:35.040 --> 1:03:38.520 people that could vote early were sick people in the 1:03:38.560 --> 1:03:43.120 hospital and veterans who lived where the election was but 1:03:43.160 --> 1:03:46.760 were stationed somewhere else. And they've just expanded it way 1:03:46.760 --> 1:03:48.040 too much in my opinion. 1:03:49.240 --> 1:03:51.840 Well, you know, I'm a few years younger than you are, 1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:55.000 but you know, our parents drug us to the polling place. 1:03:56.280 --> 1:03:57.880 Cool yep. 1:03:58.080 --> 1:04:00.520 And there used to be a thing called kids voting. 1:04:00.760 --> 1:04:03.240 It wasn't that long ago. It was kind of a 1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:09.160 charitable civic organization that he had little voting boosts. When 1:04:09.320 --> 1:04:12.000 you know, you go vote, the kid does too, to 1:04:12.120 --> 1:04:15.160 acclimate them to you know, what it's like to go vote. 1:04:15.560 --> 1:04:17.480 I thought it was great. I don't know what happened 1:04:17.520 --> 1:04:20.480 to it, but I really wish we could go back 1:04:20.520 --> 1:04:22.320 to just the old way. 1:04:24.280 --> 1:04:24.640 All right. 1:04:24.680 --> 1:04:27.320 Well, if I don't see you, I'll you happy New Year. 1:04:27.520 --> 1:04:30.080 Be good, Okay, you too, Barry, Thank you very much. 1:04:30.840 --> 1:04:32.479 You know, he does bring up a really good point 1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:35.160 about the early voting. I mean, you know, I don't 1:04:35.160 --> 1:04:36.800 know what it is in Ohio. I think it's about 1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:39.960 a month before maybe even more than that you are 1:04:40.080 --> 1:04:42.800 kind of taking a chance casting your vote then. But again, 1:04:43.600 --> 1:04:48.560 the people that I respect politically, Alex Trantapeel you being 1:04:48.600 --> 1:04:52.600 the main one, say that it's in the party and 1:04:52.640 --> 1:04:55.600 the candidate's best interest to vote early. I don't know. 1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:59.120 Maybe that'll change someday, hopefully. Hey we got doctor Dennis 1:04:59.120 --> 1:05:01.200 in Annapolis. Doc, how are you doing? 1:05:02.600 --> 1:05:04.440 Hey, Mike carried doing New Year? 1:05:04.560 --> 1:05:04.919 You too? 1:05:06.840 --> 1:05:07.040 Yeah? 1:05:07.080 --> 1:05:11.320 Two quick comments. One, I hated with the leftists when 1:05:11.320 --> 1:05:17.080 they discuss you know, when they get the immigrants, they 1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:22.640 conflate naturalized citizens with the illegals. Yeah, used to they 1:05:22.680 --> 1:05:25.160 used to say undocumented, but they think they've now since 1:05:25.200 --> 1:05:28.840 dropped the undocumented, and and you know for the naive 1:05:28.920 --> 1:05:35.040 out there, uh, that it makes for a lot of confusion. Yeah, 1:05:35.480 --> 1:05:38.320 they're talking about when liberals left just talk about the immigrants. 1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:41.240 They're talking about the illegals, but they won't say illegal, and 1:05:41.320 --> 1:05:42.080 they will. 1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:45.520 We will. But you're right, I'm looking at a thing here, doc. 1:05:45.760 --> 1:05:45.880 Uh. 1:05:46.400 --> 1:05:49.640 I had to google something and I've been using AI. 1:05:50.320 --> 1:05:52.640 It was about an ice agent. It is horrible. I 1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:55.600 just saw the video of it shot and injured by 1:05:56.120 --> 1:05:59.200 what they referred to as an undocumented man. 1:05:59.800 --> 1:06:00.720 Uh in Maryland. 1:06:00.800 --> 1:06:02.920 So the media sometimes uses it. 1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:06.800 Yeah, yeah, they do, but I've noticed that they've since 1:06:06.880 --> 1:06:09.200 dropped the undocumented part. 1:06:09.400 --> 1:06:09.920 Uh. 1:06:10.560 --> 1:06:13.800 Yeah, that's their their ongoing effort to doctor our language. 1:06:13.920 --> 1:06:15.680 Yep, no question about it. 1:06:16.760 --> 1:06:17.000 Yeah. 1:06:17.040 --> 1:06:20.680 The one other quick comment is, uh, I'm Catholic, but 1:06:20.720 --> 1:06:25.520 but I have the they it's kind of almost hypocritical. 1:06:26.760 --> 1:06:31.600 The these Catholic charities where for a long time facilitating 1:06:31.720 --> 1:06:34.080 the illegals entry into the country. 1:06:34.800 --> 1:06:35.080 Uh. 1:06:35.280 --> 1:06:36.480 You know, people were donating that. 1:06:36.480 --> 1:06:39.280 It sounds all good and everything to donate the Catholic charities, 1:06:39.400 --> 1:06:42.720 but they were funneling money to these organizations that would 1:06:42.760 --> 1:06:46.240 go down to the border and uh and house and 1:06:47.040 --> 1:06:51.720 facilitate the illegal sentry into the country, violating the law. 1:06:52.120 --> 1:06:54.400 I read about that, and you know, I mean, if 1:06:54.400 --> 1:06:57.320 I were Catholic, and I am, I don't go to 1:06:57.320 --> 1:07:00.760 the camp or church mass anymore. I go to a 1:07:00.800 --> 1:07:04.760 different service, but I would sure drill down on that 1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:07.360 to see if that's where it goes. And there's a 1:07:07.400 --> 1:07:11.000 lot of good about the Camp of Church. But yeah, yeah, 1:07:11.080 --> 1:07:14.280 if they're if they're involved in that, then shame on them. 1:07:14.320 --> 1:07:15.439 But they are. 1:07:15.600 --> 1:07:18.480 I gotta move on though. Doctors Mike Okay, thanks for 1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:24.120 the call. Yeah, an undocumented man. That's what AI refers 1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:27.560 to this guy as I don't know. You know, some 1:07:27.680 --> 1:07:29.720 say what's in a name, But I think it's important. 1:07:29.760 --> 1:07:33.280 I think it's important to point out it's more than 1:07:33.320 --> 1:07:38.320 not having documents, it's trespassing into our country. Hey, we 1:07:38.440 --> 1:07:41.640 got just about a minute. Let's talk to Bobby. Hey, Bobby, 1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:44.280 thanks for calling. I'm sorry, I can only give you 1:07:44.320 --> 1:07:45.760 about a minute. 1:07:46.040 --> 1:07:48.080 That's all I need. My brother, I want to tell 1:07:48.120 --> 1:07:50.920 you we sure appreciate you holding that torture freedom up 1:07:51.080 --> 1:07:53.720 high and bright every day because I think twenty twenty 1:07:53.760 --> 1:07:55.760 six is going to becoming dark outside. 1:07:55.960 --> 1:07:58.880 Yeah, it's gonna be It's gonna be interesting. It really is. 1:08:00.240 --> 1:08:03.600 You know, it's looking like you never know, it's way early, 1:08:03.720 --> 1:08:07.280 but might be JD. Van's boy, I could certainly live 1:08:07.320 --> 1:08:10.440 with that. We've got to continue with Trump started. 1:08:12.080 --> 1:08:14.360 We've got a plan for the future, my friends, and 1:08:14.480 --> 1:08:17.479 go ahead and crush these left wing Marxists before it's 1:08:17.520 --> 1:08:20.320 too late, because they will be on the streets come 1:08:20.360 --> 1:08:22.400 this summertime. I guarantee you. 1:08:22.760 --> 1:08:27.840 Everything seems to be trending towards that. I just hope 1:08:27.880 --> 1:08:31.519 people in this country are vigilant, and I don't know. 1:08:32.240 --> 1:08:34.400 I'm not real optimistic about the future. 1:08:34.439 --> 1:08:34.799 Bobby. 1:08:35.240 --> 1:08:38.000 I probably should be, but I'm not. But hey, anyway, 1:08:38.080 --> 1:08:39.880 I do have to get out of here for the news, 1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:43.280 but I appreciate the corank you. Okay, thanks Bobby. Yeah, 1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:45.080 we got to break here for the news. But when 1:08:45.080 --> 1:08:47.679 we get back, we're going to talk to FOP President 1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:51.320 Ken Kober. Lots going on in the law enforcement department, 1:08:51.760 --> 1:08:54.679 and then I want to tell those that are on 1:08:54.720 --> 1:08:58.479 hold now from eleven thirty to noon, when I get 1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:01.599 out of here, open lines four nine, seven thousand, one, 1:09:01.640 --> 1:09:04.400 eight hundred. The big one are the numbers. Mike Allen, 1:09:04.479 --> 1:09:12.720 Saturday Midday News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen with 1:09:12.880 --> 1:09:17.800 hour three, third and final hour of Saturday Midday. Well, 1:09:17.840 --> 1:09:20.439 i'll tell you what. The violence continues in the city 1:09:20.479 --> 1:09:24.240 of Cincinnati. Fox nineteen reports that a mother and two 1:09:24.360 --> 1:09:28.080 children were shot on Christmas Day in the West End. 1:09:28.920 --> 1:09:32.760 Thankfully there they survived. They're okay. I think they're at 1:09:32.760 --> 1:09:36.720 the hospital. Arrested was some dude named Jadens Brown. He's 1:09:36.720 --> 1:09:40.679 fifty eight. He's charged with three counts of felonious assault. 1:09:41.600 --> 1:09:44.920 Brown had been accused of assaulting in twenty twenty two 1:09:45.600 --> 1:09:49.360 the same woman he shot Christmas Day back in twenty 1:09:49.400 --> 1:09:53.960 twenty two, again, he was accused of punching her in 1:09:54.000 --> 1:09:57.760 the face and throwing her to the ground. He has 1:09:57.840 --> 1:10:02.679 more than forty arrest dating to nineteen eighty. And here's 1:10:02.720 --> 1:10:07.360 the thing. Those cases were dismissed because the alleged victim 1:10:07.439 --> 1:10:10.559 did not continue with the investigation. Here to talk about 1:10:10.600 --> 1:10:13.400 this and a lot of other things, is FOP President 1:10:13.479 --> 1:10:16.000 Ken kober Ken, Thanks so much for calling in. 1:10:17.240 --> 1:10:18.320 Sure, Mike, thanks for having me. 1:10:18.360 --> 1:10:20.400 Hey, I know you want to talk about some other things. 1:10:20.439 --> 1:10:23.000 I do too, But that last sentence that I read, 1:10:23.120 --> 1:10:26.720 those cases were dismissed because the alleged victim did not 1:10:27.520 --> 1:10:31.240 continue with the investigation. That's not uncommon, is it, Ken 1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:33.519 Cober No. 1:10:33.360 --> 1:10:36.920 Not at all. Yeah, Unfortunately, it is all too common. 1:10:36.920 --> 1:10:39.759 And there's usually a couple of reasons why those things happen. 1:10:39.880 --> 1:10:43.120 Is you have a victim that decides that, you know, 1:10:43.240 --> 1:10:45.920 for whatever reason they don't want to prosecute, show up 1:10:45.920 --> 1:10:49.040 the court, or and what we've seen several times is 1:10:49.080 --> 1:10:52.679 they'll show up the court and it gets continued once place, 1:10:52.840 --> 1:10:55.920 three times, four times and finally they go listen, I'm 1:10:55.920 --> 1:10:58.519 not going to see justice. I'm done, and they just 1:10:58.600 --> 1:11:01.639 could come into court. And that is the unfortunate part 1:11:01.680 --> 1:11:05.680 that happens way too often in here in Hamilton County. 1:11:05.400 --> 1:11:07.960 It does, and probably other counties. But I know for 1:11:08.080 --> 1:11:10.479 a fact, because I mean I've dealt with it from 1:11:10.520 --> 1:11:13.599 every angle that it happens. And you know, someday somebody 1:11:13.680 --> 1:11:15.400 is going to do some kind of study as to 1:11:15.920 --> 1:11:19.080 the cost to the criminal justice system for that. But 1:11:19.760 --> 1:11:23.080 that's neither here nor there at this point. Elwood Jones, 1:11:23.240 --> 1:11:27.160 you made a very very strong statement Ken when he 1:11:27.320 --> 1:11:31.920 was arrested for ov I by your officers CPD officers. 1:11:32.160 --> 1:11:34.559 It's just your thoughts in general about that. That whole 1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:35.840 situation with. 1:11:35.960 --> 1:11:40.439 Him, well, you know, quite honestly, never should have happened. Yeah, 1:11:40.479 --> 1:11:45.640 you hit somebody, excuse me, you know, because of a technicality, 1:11:46.160 --> 1:11:48.800 uh you know, gets let out. You know, it goes 1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:52.559 to the Ohio Supreme Court, and the High Supreme Court says, no, 1:11:52.680 --> 1:11:54.080 this needs to go back to the lower court and 1:11:54.439 --> 1:11:57.920 be given a look at. And and instead, unfortunately, you know, 1:11:58.000 --> 1:12:00.200 we have a prosecutor that decided no, you know, not 1:12:00.240 --> 1:12:02.920 going to do this. No one saw justice in this. 1:12:03.439 --> 1:12:05.600 You know, I feel for the family. I feel for 1:12:05.680 --> 1:12:08.400 the officers that that were there had to deal with 1:12:08.439 --> 1:12:10.800 these things. But not only that, it's the impact that 1:12:10.840 --> 1:12:14.040 it's having on officers that are wearing this uniform today 1:12:14.680 --> 1:12:16.519 that are seeing this. But this is this is just 1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:20.759 kind of you know, the final thing for twenty twenty 1:12:20.760 --> 1:12:24.040 five that we've seen that officers are so frustrated with, 1:12:24.080 --> 1:12:28.520 whether it's low bail, no bail, you know, these light sentences. 1:12:28.600 --> 1:12:31.000 You people with gun charges that are being convicted, that 1:12:31.040 --> 1:12:33.360 are being put on probation just to go out reoffend. 1:12:34.880 --> 1:12:39.120 This is just it's it's a terrible, terrible thing that happened. 1:12:39.880 --> 1:12:42.800 You'll you'll never convince me that that he did not 1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:46.800 murder this woman when you look at the totality of 1:12:46.840 --> 1:12:51.400 the evidence. You look at Joe Deaters and Mark Pete Meyer, 1:12:51.439 --> 1:12:54.880 I mean, two guys that have given their adult lives 1:12:54.960 --> 1:12:59.360 to public service, to protecting Hamilton County. It's just it's 1:12:59.400 --> 1:13:01.040 a sad, sad thing that went on. 1:13:01.400 --> 1:13:03.639 It really is, and it's a kind of a black 1:13:03.680 --> 1:13:07.040 eye for the criminal justice system. But you know, you 1:13:07.080 --> 1:13:09.360 throw into all those things that you talked about, you 1:13:09.439 --> 1:13:12.680 got the downtown beat down, which we haven't heard the 1:13:12.760 --> 1:13:16.120 last of that yet either on Four Street. I mean, 1:13:16.280 --> 1:13:18.920 the cops did everything that they were supposed to do 1:13:19.080 --> 1:13:22.880 from my vantage point, and that's what happens. I just 1:13:22.880 --> 1:13:24.519 hope we don't have another one of those. 1:13:26.000 --> 1:13:28.640 Yeah, I mean, that's the unfortunate part is it's what 1:13:28.680 --> 1:13:32.080 we're seeing, which is people are playing Hamilton County. And 1:13:32.120 --> 1:13:33.920 you know, one of the things that the SOP fought 1:13:33.920 --> 1:13:37.600 for was residency so officers didn't have to live in 1:13:37.640 --> 1:13:40.280 Hamilton County if they don't want to. And as soon 1:13:40.320 --> 1:13:42.559 as that passed and both put in our contract where 1:13:42.600 --> 1:13:45.840 you could live in counties outside of Hamilton County. You 1:13:45.880 --> 1:13:48.040 can live in Indiana, you can live in Kentucky. Price 1:13:48.240 --> 1:13:51.519 begin fleeing because they see what's going on. They get 1:13:51.560 --> 1:13:54.439 a front row seat to what the justice systems like 1:13:54.520 --> 1:13:56.160 in Hamilton County. They go, you know what, I'm not 1:13:56.240 --> 1:13:57.880 raising my family here, and I don't blame them. 1:13:58.000 --> 1:14:02.400 You know what, I knew that residency was relaxed. Didn't 1:14:02.400 --> 1:14:03.840 know that you can go to other states. 1:14:03.880 --> 1:14:04.040 Now. 1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:07.920 I'm glad for that for the officers, but you know, 1:14:08.439 --> 1:14:11.080 it kind of speaks volumes, doesn't it. When the city 1:14:11.160 --> 1:14:13.960 that they're policing in is a place they don't want 1:14:14.000 --> 1:14:16.640 to raise their family. I think that speaks volumes. 1:14:18.400 --> 1:14:22.080 Yeah, no, it absolutely does. And that's sad because this county, 1:14:22.520 --> 1:14:24.280 you know, I grew up here in my entire life, 1:14:24.720 --> 1:14:28.640 has so much to offer. I know, when we're seeing judges, 1:14:29.080 --> 1:14:32.479 you know, like Kurt Kissinger Josh Bukwitz, who are not 1:14:32.560 --> 1:14:35.960 being re elected that are law in order, they're fair, 1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:40.080 but they're firm judges, and people in this county are saying, 1:14:40.080 --> 1:14:42.040 you know, we don't want them judges. We don't want 1:14:42.120 --> 1:14:44.960 judges like that to be here in Hamilton County. It 1:14:45.120 --> 1:14:47.479 just speaks volumes, and that's why officers that see it 1:14:47.560 --> 1:14:50.080 firsthand are going, Nope, I'm out, And I don't blame 1:14:50.120 --> 1:14:51.799 them a bit. That's interesting. 1:14:52.000 --> 1:14:54.960 I got to ask you about this, the Chief Fiji 1:14:55.160 --> 1:14:58.479 witch hunt and witch hunt is probably too kind of 1:14:58.640 --> 1:15:01.240 a term for it. Do you know what the status 1:15:01.360 --> 1:15:03.240 that is? I mean, it was turned over to a 1:15:03.320 --> 1:15:05.680 law firm, and really I don't even remember who the 1:15:05.720 --> 1:15:08.280 law firm was, doesn't matter. It just kind of seems 1:15:08.280 --> 1:15:11.960 to me like, okay, law firm, you better find something here. 1:15:12.360 --> 1:15:13.519 What's the status of that? 1:15:13.600 --> 1:15:17.640 Ken if you know, well, my understanding is it's the 1:15:17.720 --> 1:15:22.439 law firms Frost, Brown and Todd. Okay, they've interviewed approximately 1:15:22.880 --> 1:15:27.400 I don't know roughly. I think thirty officers trying to 1:15:27.439 --> 1:15:31.559 find out, you know, if there's something that they can 1:15:31.640 --> 1:15:35.040 they could try to use to have just cause to 1:15:35.120 --> 1:15:39.040 fire Chief Diji. My understanding is, I think the contract 1:15:39.080 --> 1:15:41.360 only runs to the end of the year, so we 1:15:41.479 --> 1:15:44.400 may hear something soon. But I mean that's the impact 1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:47.479 that even that has had on the cincinnat Police Department. 1:15:47.920 --> 1:15:51.679 You know, where there's uncertainty. Don't get me wrong. Interim 1:15:51.760 --> 1:15:55.400 chief Henny has stepped in has done an absolute remarkable job. 1:15:56.240 --> 1:15:58.880 But anytime you have an interim chief, and unfortunately I've 1:15:58.960 --> 1:16:02.800 seen it several times in my career, there's uncertainty. It's hey, 1:16:03.280 --> 1:16:04.960 it's how long is he going to how long is 1:16:04.960 --> 1:16:06.680 he going to be in this position? You know what, 1:16:06.680 --> 1:16:08.760 what's going to happen? What's our future going to look like. 1:16:08.800 --> 1:16:11.560 It's not fair to police officers, it's not fair to 1:16:11.600 --> 1:16:14.920 the residents of Cincinnati. And you're absolutely right, the way 1:16:15.000 --> 1:16:17.639 Chief Fiji has been treated is just this is nothing 1:16:17.720 --> 1:16:19.400 but a witch hunt, is you know, I've described it 1:16:19.439 --> 1:16:22.000 as you know, they're they're going to make an arrest 1:16:22.040 --> 1:16:25.240 and then they're going to decide what the crime is afterwards. Well, 1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:27.639 he's not how these things work, but that's what's going on. 1:16:27.760 --> 1:16:30.280 It's not supposed to happen that way. You're absolutely right 1:16:30.320 --> 1:16:33.120 about that. And you know you don't. You don't hire 1:16:33.200 --> 1:16:36.639 a law firm to find something wrong with a police 1:16:36.720 --> 1:16:39.719 chief who has a stellar record. It makes no sense 1:16:39.760 --> 1:16:42.200 to me, but I guess it does. When you're talking 1:16:42.240 --> 1:16:46.920 about Plumb Street down there. I know you're not well, 1:16:46.960 --> 1:16:49.120 you are political, but you gotta kind of be a 1:16:49.360 --> 1:16:52.559 walk down the middle. But I don't think Ken we 1:16:52.640 --> 1:16:55.880 are ever going to see a Republican elected mayor in 1:16:55.880 --> 1:16:59.439 this city or even on city council. I was hoping 1:16:59.760 --> 1:17:03.800 so much that Christopher Smitheman would break through because he 1:17:03.960 --> 1:17:06.479 is definitely a friend of the cops. But man, it's 1:17:06.520 --> 1:17:08.439 and it's getting tough in Hamilton County too. 1:17:08.520 --> 1:17:11.840 It's a shame, no, you know, without a doubt. And 1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:14.080 we saw it. I mean we saw that the City 1:17:14.120 --> 1:17:17.800 of Cincinnati they have no interest in having any kind 1:17:17.840 --> 1:17:22.000 of you know, conservative on council. They don't certainly don't 1:17:22.000 --> 1:17:24.719 want to conservative as the mayor, and that's a decision 1:17:24.760 --> 1:17:27.880 they made. The city has to you just have to 1:17:27.880 --> 1:17:30.760 live with it. And it's the same way in Hamilton County. 1:17:30.760 --> 1:17:33.080 You're absolutely right, I mean, it's there. There is no 1:17:33.240 --> 1:17:38.679 more law and order, tough on crime. You know, judges left. 1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:42.400 Like I said, I think so far, Connie Tillis hasn't 1:17:42.479 --> 1:17:45.479 done a bad job. But when you get to this, 1:17:45.560 --> 1:17:48.040 Elwood Jonas saying, I think she just she dropped the 1:17:48.080 --> 1:17:50.800 ball on this one for whatever reason. And it's like, 1:17:50.880 --> 1:17:53.920 you know, had we had you know, Melissa Powers there, 1:17:54.080 --> 1:17:56.120 that this would have been a much different scenario. But 1:17:56.200 --> 1:17:58.920 the reality is, this is what we have to live with. 1:17:59.000 --> 1:18:01.439 If you're a resident Hamilton County, if you're a police 1:18:01.439 --> 1:18:04.000 officer in Hamilton County, this is just what you're going 1:18:04.080 --> 1:18:05.960 to have to deal with. And that's why you're also 1:18:06.000 --> 1:18:08.960 seeing officers that are leaving, and they're not leaving for 1:18:09.040 --> 1:18:12.800 other departments in Hamilton County. They're going to other agencies 1:18:12.920 --> 1:18:18.240 in Claremont County, Warren County, Butler County, just to get 1:18:18.280 --> 1:18:20.320 away from this justice system as a whole. 1:18:20.720 --> 1:18:24.240 You know, back in the day when I was involved 1:18:24.280 --> 1:18:28.840 in law enforcement and CPD, it was exactly the opposite. 1:18:29.000 --> 1:18:33.760 Ken When openings came up for CPD, people from the 1:18:33.800 --> 1:18:37.280 county would come in droves taking the test because they 1:18:37.320 --> 1:18:40.120 wanted to be Cincinnati cops. But as you just said, 1:18:40.640 --> 1:18:42.559 it's just completely turned on its head. 1:18:42.640 --> 1:18:47.559 Now, yeah, well, perfect example. You know, we had, we 1:18:47.960 --> 1:18:50.240 fought for and were able to get the city to 1:18:50.280 --> 1:18:54.080 approve a lateral class of thirty officers. Yes, that class 1:18:54.160 --> 1:18:57.160 is going to start here in about six weeks, six 1:18:57.160 --> 1:19:02.040 to eight weeks. Seven people. Oh man, we have seven 1:19:02.400 --> 1:19:04.920 a class, a lateral class of seven officers. Now, don't 1:19:04.960 --> 1:19:07.040 get me wrong, I'm come happy to have those seven 1:19:07.080 --> 1:19:07.599 that we got. 1:19:07.720 --> 1:19:07.920 Yeah. 1:19:08.000 --> 1:19:10.920 Yeah, but they authorized thirty and all we could get 1:19:10.960 --> 1:19:11.320 was seven. 1:19:11.560 --> 1:19:14.160 Isn't that something? I'll tell you what, And I probably 1:19:14.240 --> 1:19:17.799 said this a million times, but in my wildest dreams, 1:19:17.920 --> 1:19:21.120 I never thought that would happen. When I took the 1:19:21.200 --> 1:19:24.320 test for the cadet program back in seventy four, and 1:19:24.360 --> 1:19:27.320 then you know, when we got laid off from CPD 1:19:27.560 --> 1:19:30.519 in nineteen eighty, we had to test again. It was 1:19:30.560 --> 1:19:34.000 down at the Convention Center. There were thousands of people there. 1:19:34.160 --> 1:19:37.200 I mean, it was an unbelievable and for it to 1:19:37.320 --> 1:19:41.320 change that much. I just think it speaks volumes of 1:19:42.080 --> 1:19:45.080 what the situation is with law enforcement now and it's 1:19:45.120 --> 1:19:47.400 just a shame that that happens. But hey, let me 1:19:47.400 --> 1:19:49.479 switch gear and said, I you want to talk about 1:19:49.520 --> 1:19:51.960 some other things, but before we do that, I want 1:19:51.960 --> 1:19:54.720 to backtrack a little bit. Issue five. I'm sure you 1:19:54.720 --> 1:19:58.760 remember Chief Striker, very very strong chief. I think part 1:19:58.800 --> 1:20:01.240 of the reason why he would be a strong chief 1:20:01.680 --> 1:20:04.880 was because he had civil service protection. You and I 1:20:04.960 --> 1:20:07.479 talked about this, Ken, I think not too long ago. 1:20:08.200 --> 1:20:11.360 Uh is the FOP and hopefully there'll be others that 1:20:11.840 --> 1:20:15.760 are interested in bringing this back to the ballot to 1:20:15.880 --> 1:20:18.040 try to reverse it. I know it would be an 1:20:18.120 --> 1:20:22.479 uphill battle, but if we had that now, that protection, 1:20:22.960 --> 1:20:25.840 I don't think Chief Fiji would be in the jam 1:20:25.960 --> 1:20:26.320 she's in. 1:20:27.680 --> 1:20:30.000 No, you're absolutely right, and that is something that is 1:20:30.040 --> 1:20:33.800 being worked on. It's of course in its infancy of 1:20:33.840 --> 1:20:37.120 trying to trying to figure out, you know, to get 1:20:37.160 --> 1:20:39.080 the language, to get all these things that we can 1:20:39.200 --> 1:20:41.360 so we can prepare this. But we are absolutely going 1:20:41.439 --> 1:20:43.960 to be working on this. And you're absolutely right. You know, 1:20:44.000 --> 1:20:48.320 if if we had a chief that was under you know, 1:20:48.439 --> 1:20:51.280 civil service under our collective bargaining agreement, we wouldn't be 1:20:51.280 --> 1:20:53.120 in this position. And that's that's one of the things 1:20:53.120 --> 1:20:56.000 now that I've said, you know, with with interim Chief Henny, 1:20:56.960 --> 1:20:59.599 he's in a fantastic position right now. He can go 1:20:59.640 --> 1:21:02.840 and make whatever changes he wants and he can do 1:21:02.880 --> 1:21:05.800 it without fear of being terminated, because the worst that 1:21:05.840 --> 1:21:09.920 he can possibly do is get demoted back to his 1:21:09.960 --> 1:21:14.519 assistant chiefs position, where chiefs didn't She didn't have that protection. 1:21:14.840 --> 1:21:18.480 You know what I forgot about that? Yeah, that's interesting. 1:21:20.160 --> 1:21:22.479 Yeah, so it's something that we are certainly going to 1:21:23.080 --> 1:21:26.519 figure out how we can get this change. That way, 1:21:26.560 --> 1:21:29.440 we can have a police chief that can make decisions 1:21:29.479 --> 1:21:32.840 without fear of city Hall saying no, we're not going 1:21:32.880 --> 1:21:35.800 to do this, and if you do well, we're going 1:21:35.840 --> 1:21:36.960 to find a way to get rid of you. And 1:21:37.400 --> 1:21:39.840 that's unfortunately why we are where we are. 1:21:40.000 --> 1:21:42.479 I think at the end of the day, when this 1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:45.200 is all over with, they're going to have to back 1:21:45.280 --> 1:21:48.360 the brinks truck up to city Hall to get the 1:21:48.400 --> 1:21:51.479 settlement that she gets. And I know she'd rather have 1:21:51.520 --> 1:21:53.960 her job back, but they did her wrong, and they 1:21:54.000 --> 1:21:56.479 did her dirty. That's all there is to it. Last question, 1:21:56.520 --> 1:22:01.639 I have contract negotiations coming up twenty six. Your thoughts 1:22:01.680 --> 1:22:03.640 on that, I know you'll be in there fighting for 1:22:03.720 --> 1:22:08.960 your officers. Anything in particular about that that is unusual. 1:22:10.320 --> 1:22:14.040 Well, you know, unfortunately, you know, three years ago when 1:22:14.040 --> 1:22:16.880 we negotiated, you know, we were one hundred and fifty 1:22:16.920 --> 1:22:20.360 hundred and sixty officer short. And don't get me wrong, 1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:25.680 the city has made the financial commitment to have these classes. 1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:28.080 The problem is we can't get people that want to 1:22:28.120 --> 1:22:28.719 do this job. 1:22:28.920 --> 1:22:29.720 I can, It's hard. 1:22:29.760 --> 1:22:30.639 You know, a lot of it. 1:22:30.520 --> 1:22:32.280 Is is still a lot of it. You know, are 1:22:32.320 --> 1:22:34.680 some political decisions that have been made, like said you 1:22:34.680 --> 1:22:37.400 talk about the fourth and Element incident, this this stuff 1:22:37.439 --> 1:22:40.759 with Elwa Jones, that is just keeping people from wanting 1:22:40.800 --> 1:22:43.760 to be law enforcement in general. But yeah, as we 1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:45.519 go in to these negotiations, we're still going to be 1:22:45.560 --> 1:22:49.160 one hundred and fifty hundred and fifty officer short. It's 1:22:49.200 --> 1:22:52.439 it's really really going to be interesting to see, you know, 1:22:52.600 --> 1:22:55.320 how this plays out, because you're you're going to have 1:22:55.400 --> 1:23:01.320 to continue to give officers quality raises and hopes that 1:23:01.720 --> 1:23:03.160 you know, people are going to say, you know what, 1:23:03.280 --> 1:23:06.200 I'm willing to put up with the justice system. I'm 1:23:06.240 --> 1:23:08.760 willing to put up with these things knowing that at 1:23:08.880 --> 1:23:11.479 least I'm making a wage that I can take care 1:23:11.520 --> 1:23:12.040 of my family. 1:23:12.160 --> 1:23:15.240 Yeah, you know, let me ask you question. You said 1:23:14.920 --> 1:23:17.599 one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty officers. 1:23:17.880 --> 1:23:19.640 I guess it's fair to say, based on what you 1:23:19.680 --> 1:23:23.280 said and based on reality, they're not filled because they 1:23:23.320 --> 1:23:26.000 can't find anybody to fill them. Is that accurate? 1:23:27.080 --> 1:23:27.360 Yeah? 1:23:27.400 --> 1:23:30.720 Absolutely, Like I said, we're seeing it where you much 1:23:30.800 --> 1:23:34.040 like when I took the test, you know, to be 1:23:34.040 --> 1:23:36.000 able to be hired as a Sin Saint police officer, 1:23:36.560 --> 1:23:38.360 thousands of people. I was just telling you at the 1:23:38.400 --> 1:23:42.120 convention center, thousands of people there, and you know, out 1:23:42.160 --> 1:23:44.599 of those thousands of people, they would whittle it down 1:23:44.640 --> 1:23:48.599 to two classes of fifty about a three or four 1:23:48.600 --> 1:23:51.240 thousand people, they would select one hundred. So you saw 1:23:52.280 --> 1:23:55.439 it was the top, you know, one hundred out of 1:23:55.479 --> 1:23:58.240 four thousand. Now if we get four hundred people to 1:23:58.240 --> 1:24:01.160 take the test, we're lucky and they're going to fill 1:24:01.160 --> 1:24:03.840 a class one class of fifty. So they keep on 1:24:03.920 --> 1:24:06.120 having more tests. Where I said, you used to get 1:24:06.160 --> 1:24:09.360 two classes off each test, now you get one and 1:24:09.400 --> 1:24:11.679 like I said, you're you're getting fifty out of out 1:24:11.680 --> 1:24:15.200 of four hundred people. And well, once you get past 1:24:15.320 --> 1:24:19.480 the written test and get into you know, the psychological 1:24:19.560 --> 1:24:21.599 and some of these other things, it gets whittled down 1:24:21.680 --> 1:24:24.000 to and if we get fifty, we're lucky. 1:24:24.520 --> 1:24:27.679 You know what. And you can't just hire at willy 1:24:27.760 --> 1:24:29.960 nilly because you don't know what the hell you're getting. 1:24:30.240 --> 1:24:33.439 It's a shame. Well, keep us posted, Ken, and we'll 1:24:33.520 --> 1:24:35.720 check in with you again. But I appreciate you calling. 1:24:35.520 --> 1:24:38.160 In absolutely Thanks for having me, Mike. 1:24:38.040 --> 1:24:38.919 Okay, my pleasure. 1:24:39.360 --> 1:24:39.800 All right. 1:24:39.840 --> 1:24:42.679 That was Ken Cober FOP president. Boy, he is turning 1:24:42.760 --> 1:24:47.680 into one great FOP president. CPD has been blessed the 1:24:47.720 --> 1:24:52.240 men and women of CPD with strong leadership in their 1:24:52.320 --> 1:24:57.000 FOP presidents. And that is just so important. You have 1:24:57.120 --> 1:25:01.400 to have that. You have to have that. I'm almost independent. 1:25:01.520 --> 1:25:04.280 I mean, Ken still a police officer, but he's allowed 1:25:04.280 --> 1:25:07.840 to advocate for his men and women and he does 1:25:07.880 --> 1:25:09.840 a great job of it. Hey, we got to take 1:25:09.840 --> 1:25:12.080 a break. Butt when we get back, we're going to 1:25:12.120 --> 1:25:18.120 go back to the calls. Mike Allen, Saturday Midday, eleven 1:25:18.200 --> 1:25:22.360 thirty nine, News Radio seven hundred ww Mike callendar closing 1:25:22.560 --> 1:25:26.800 minutes of Saturday midday and as promised, I'm going to 1:25:26.840 --> 1:25:31.479 the Pones. Tanya has been holding on forever. Hello Tanya, 1:25:31.479 --> 1:25:37.560 I appreciate you holding. I'm good. I'm good, but you go. 1:25:38.960 --> 1:25:42.760 Christmas to you you too, Thank you, sir. I was 1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:45.760 calling just to put my two cents in on the 1:25:45.800 --> 1:25:52.839 Elwood Jones case. Yeah, okay, just a quick background. I'm 1:25:53.080 --> 1:25:57.000 I'm all for Trump. I'm all for this administration. I've 1:25:57.000 --> 1:26:00.000 been to prison myself. I was engaged to a man 1:26:00.040 --> 1:26:03.960 on death row twenty five years ago from Missouri. I've 1:26:03.960 --> 1:26:08.320 been married three times. See my personal opinion from my 1:26:08.320 --> 1:26:12.840 life experiences, is them using this hepatitis B as a 1:26:12.880 --> 1:26:19.479 reason to let this murderer go. I believe it's false 1:26:19.560 --> 1:26:24.439 because my first husband had hepatitis B. I did all 1:26:24.479 --> 1:26:26.120 the normal things that you would do with a husband. 1:26:26.160 --> 1:26:29.160 I even brushed my teeth with his toothbrush twenty. 1:26:29.000 --> 1:26:29.679 Five years ago. 1:26:30.760 --> 1:26:34.479 I also had another significant other who had hepatitis B. 1:26:34.640 --> 1:26:39.680 I never contracted it, you know, yet they did not 1:26:39.760 --> 1:26:40.080 have it. 1:26:40.160 --> 1:26:42.440 I get it. I haven't looked when I was prosecutor 1:26:42.640 --> 1:26:45.080 just very peripherally involved in it and some of the 1:26:45.080 --> 1:26:47.960 appeals and things like that, so I'm not really privy 1:26:48.120 --> 1:26:51.240 to all the facts. I do know this though, Mark 1:26:51.240 --> 1:26:53.400 Pete Meyer, who I know. We served in the Army 1:26:53.400 --> 1:26:57.479 Reserve together. He was in the prosecutor's office when I 1:26:57.520 --> 1:27:01.080 was prosecutor. There's nobody better in this town on these 1:27:01.160 --> 1:27:03.600 kind of things, and from what I understand, he was 1:27:04.120 --> 1:27:06.599 a little bit more than honked off about what happened. 1:27:06.600 --> 1:27:10.040 Because I can't tell you this Ella Jones was a big, 1:27:10.320 --> 1:27:14.000 big case that meant a lot to a lot of people, 1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:18.439 especially the victim family. But it's just a it's a 1:27:18.520 --> 1:27:21.839 sad situation. And you know the other thing about it too, Tanya, 1:27:22.240 --> 1:27:25.000 He's probably gonna get a pretty good payday out of 1:27:25.040 --> 1:27:27.880 this too, And that's what's wrong. I mean, it's all wrong, 1:27:27.960 --> 1:27:30.320 but that especially he doesn't deserve. 1:27:30.040 --> 1:27:34.519 It, especially especially whenever it's coming out of taxpayers. First, 1:27:34.520 --> 1:27:36.160 we had to pay for him to sit in prison 1:27:36.160 --> 1:27:38.560 all these years, we had to pay for his original 1:27:38.600 --> 1:27:40.320 case to get put on death brow, we've had to 1:27:40.320 --> 1:27:42.000 pay for all of his appeals, and now we're going 1:27:42.040 --> 1:27:43.840 to have to give him probably a good million dollars 1:27:43.960 --> 1:27:47.280 or more. Yep, and he's out here already within two 1:27:47.360 --> 1:27:50.719 weeks committing prime even though it's a traffic case. 1:27:50.800 --> 1:27:52.400 But what's to come next? 1:27:52.640 --> 1:27:55.960 Wouldn't you know that he would be when you think 1:27:56.040 --> 1:27:59.080 you do all that time, and granted he got let out, 1:27:59.080 --> 1:28:01.920 wouldn't you think he'd be a little bit careful about it? 1:28:02.479 --> 1:28:05.679 I mean, I mean you would think, especially at his age, 1:28:05.720 --> 1:28:08.200 that you would be blessed by God and would wouldn't 1:28:08.200 --> 1:28:10.719 come home and actually live and be free for a while. 1:28:12.160 --> 1:28:14.320 You would think. But I want I wanted to run 1:28:14.400 --> 1:28:16.400 this by you real quick because I've been trying to 1:28:16.439 --> 1:28:19.479 get the world to know this for five years. No 1:28:19.560 --> 1:28:21.479 one wants to talk about it. I've tried the governor 1:28:21.680 --> 1:28:24.360 short of the president. I've tried d H d OJ, 1:28:25.160 --> 1:28:29.280 Homeland Security Central Office, with the Ohio prison system, the governor, 1:28:29.400 --> 1:28:32.400 all representatives. I've tried to get this message out. I've 1:28:32.439 --> 1:28:34.559 tried news stations. No one wants to get it out. 1:28:35.520 --> 1:28:38.160 With the gentleman that was murdered down here in Cincinnati 1:28:38.160 --> 1:28:39.160 who owned the gym. 1:28:39.680 --> 1:28:42.840 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:28:41.880 --> 1:28:44.840 That situation as well as there was an officer in 1:28:44.920 --> 1:28:49.160 Ross Correctional Center last year who was murdered on Christmas Day. 1:28:50.400 --> 1:28:52.840 What no one wants to tell people is that the 1:28:52.880 --> 1:28:56.960 Ohio prison system right now is so flooded with a 1:28:57.080 --> 1:28:58.280 drug called tone. 1:28:59.560 --> 1:29:02.920 What's the I'm sorry, what was It's called tone? 1:29:03.360 --> 1:29:05.559 They call it tune like cartoons. 1:29:05.000 --> 1:29:07.400 Okay, because these guys. 1:29:07.080 --> 1:29:11.040 Act like cartoons. They hallucinate. They My husband is currently 1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:13.679 in prison right now. He's been in prison for eleven years. 1:29:13.960 --> 1:29:16.639 He's been in Warren, Lucas, Phille Rock right now, he's 1:29:16.640 --> 1:29:19.920 currently in Mansfield. Every single prison he's been in, and 1:29:20.040 --> 1:29:23.160 all the people that I've talked to, investigators, Warden's people 1:29:23.160 --> 1:29:26.080 in Central Office, all of them will tell you ninety 1:29:26.080 --> 1:29:28.519 five percent of the Ohio prison population right now. 1:29:28.400 --> 1:29:30.040 Is addicted to this drug. You know what. 1:29:30.200 --> 1:29:32.519 They will also tell you what they've told me. There's 1:29:32.560 --> 1:29:35.000 nothing they can do about it, except for they just 1:29:35.000 --> 1:29:38.439 spent sixty thousand dollars of our taxpayer dollars to put 1:29:38.560 --> 1:29:43.280 sixteen leather couches in my husband's unit five sixty five 1:29:43.360 --> 1:29:46.680 inch screen TVs out of our taxpayer dollars. But they 1:29:46.720 --> 1:29:50.080 won't take our taxpayer dollars and put body scans in 1:29:50.120 --> 1:29:50.639 these prisons. 1:29:50.680 --> 1:29:55.519 I don't mean you, but I think you probably would 1:29:55.600 --> 1:29:59.720 know better than anyone that Department of Rehabilitations and Corrections 1:29:59.800 --> 1:30:03.720 is screwed up in so many different ways. But let 1:30:03.760 --> 1:30:06.519 me say this too, and I don't need details, I 1:30:06.560 --> 1:30:09.160 don't want them. I would just like to commend you 1:30:09.640 --> 1:30:12.600 for doing what you're doing. Are you familiar with the 1:30:12.640 --> 1:30:16.639 concept of re entry. I'm sure you are, absolutely Yeah, 1:30:16.680 --> 1:30:20.639 And your exhibit a as to how it works and how 1:30:20.680 --> 1:30:23.639 it can help people have to have that coming out 1:30:23.640 --> 1:30:25.559 of prison. I mean the way it used to be. 1:30:26.240 --> 1:30:29.080 They walk out of the prison and boom, that's it. 1:30:29.680 --> 1:30:33.559 The concept of re entry is usually about one hundred 1:30:33.600 --> 1:30:35.599 eighty eight days. You have one hundred eighty aays half 1:30:35.640 --> 1:30:38.400 a year left on your sentence. Yeah, you start lining 1:30:38.479 --> 1:30:41.080 up services for them, try to find them a job. 1:30:41.120 --> 1:30:44.280 But anyway, I feel very very strongly about that, and 1:30:44.320 --> 1:30:46.880 I just wanted to commend you well. 1:30:46.920 --> 1:30:47.880 I appreciate that. 1:30:48.000 --> 1:30:50.479 And one of the major problems with the re entry 1:30:50.600 --> 1:30:53.800 programs is is that most of the halfway houses that 1:30:53.840 --> 1:30:56.080 they have, yeah, are in are in. 1:30:56.680 --> 1:30:58.080 Drug infested areas. 1:30:59.000 --> 1:31:01.759 And I've been to a halfway house when I first 1:31:01.760 --> 1:31:03.640 got out of prison. The first time they sit me 1:31:03.680 --> 1:31:05.880 on a pilot program to the Tavern House down on 1:31:06.040 --> 1:31:09.360 Queen City. We were able to get drugs in their 1:31:09.400 --> 1:31:11.440 cigarettes in there, We were able to sneak. 1:31:11.200 --> 1:31:12.400 Off, we were able to do whatever. 1:31:12.920 --> 1:31:16.200 The people that actually run the places, I mean, I'm 1:31:16.240 --> 1:31:18.479 just gonna be honest, a lot of them. The woman 1:31:18.520 --> 1:31:22.040 that ran ours her husband was a drug dealer. 1:31:23.000 --> 1:31:25.519 Yeah, I'll tell you what. And it's tough out there, 1:31:25.560 --> 1:31:28.040 but again, I commend you. I got a bunch of 1:31:28.040 --> 1:31:30.200 calls here, Tony, I gotta get going, and I just 1:31:30.280 --> 1:31:30.639 run this. 1:31:30.600 --> 1:31:32.400 By you real quick because it's a person and I 1:31:32.439 --> 1:31:34.200 know the world's listening, and I need. 1:31:34.000 --> 1:31:34.559 The world to know. 1:31:34.880 --> 1:31:37.160 Sure, a lot of these guys that are coming home, 1:31:37.200 --> 1:31:40.479 that are committing these murders have been addicted to this 1:31:40.600 --> 1:31:41.719 drug called tone. 1:31:41.800 --> 1:31:42.920 I'm gonna look that up. 1:31:43.880 --> 1:31:44.360 Please do. 1:31:44.439 --> 1:31:46.400 It's all over YouTube. You can see how they act 1:31:46.400 --> 1:31:49.880 and what they do they don't understand. Like the guy downtown, 1:31:49.960 --> 1:31:52.040 it would have been a better chance if they do 1:31:52.160 --> 1:31:54.519 something with the drug epidemic in prison, that that man 1:31:54.600 --> 1:31:57.040 might not have got murdered. He was addicted to drugs 1:31:57.040 --> 1:31:59.280 when he got released, just like Elwood Jones. Even though 1:31:59.320 --> 1:32:01.960 he was on death he had access to tomb and 1:32:02.200 --> 1:32:05.120 ninety five percent the chance that he was addicted to it, 1:32:05.160 --> 1:32:07.919 and he's been released out here to our society. 1:32:07.960 --> 1:32:11.040 I'm going to check into it. I've not never heard 1:32:11.040 --> 1:32:12.280 of it, but I want to learn about it. 1:32:12.320 --> 1:32:14.400 But thank you for the appreciate Mike. 1:32:14.600 --> 1:32:15.120 Thank you. 1:32:15.120 --> 1:32:17.720 You have a good day, you too, Yeah, you know what. 1:32:17.800 --> 1:32:21.160 That one went a little longer. But again, I spent 1:32:21.200 --> 1:32:24.439 the last twenty years, Thank god, I'm retired, uh doing 1:32:24.479 --> 1:32:28.760 criminal defense work, which is hard, hard, hard if you 1:32:28.840 --> 1:32:33.120 take the job seriously. And there are so few success 1:32:33.200 --> 1:32:36.360 stories in the criminal justice system that I think you 1:32:36.479 --> 1:32:40.080 got to highlight them when you get them. Anyway, who's 1:32:40.120 --> 1:32:41.160 been waiting the longest? 1:32:41.200 --> 1:32:41.400 Here? 1:32:41.920 --> 1:32:43.599 How's about wreck in Dallas? 1:32:43.640 --> 1:32:48.040 Hey? Rick? You doing? I was going to tell what 1:32:48.080 --> 1:32:49.840 that lady was saying. I heard. 1:32:49.840 --> 1:32:53.240 I heard there's a new drug that's more a thousand 1:32:53.360 --> 1:32:57.080 times more powerful than federal What is it about? 1:32:57.720 --> 1:33:00.080 I have as only that I don't know what the 1:33:00.120 --> 1:33:00.720 name of it is. 1:33:00.920 --> 1:33:03.519 I don't like that I heard something about it. I 1:33:03.560 --> 1:33:06.200 didn't look into it, though. Jeez, that's all we need. 1:33:06.880 --> 1:33:09.240 It's a thousand times of pomps and stuff. 1:33:09.600 --> 1:33:12.280 Oh did you ever meet uh, you know, trouble since 1:33:12.320 --> 1:33:15.120 thirty police chiefs, they had it. You guys haven't had 1:33:15.120 --> 1:33:17.800 a decent chiefs of Stanley Shrotale. 1:33:17.880 --> 1:33:19.959 Did you ever meet that tele Shutel? 1:33:20.080 --> 1:33:23.040 No, he was way before my time, but I think 1:33:23.080 --> 1:33:26.160 we've had some good ones too. Tom Striker comes to mind, 1:33:26.960 --> 1:33:29.759 Larry Well and boy he was a tough chief. But again, 1:33:30.200 --> 1:33:32.800 like I was talking to Ken Kober, they could do 1:33:32.840 --> 1:33:36.559 that because they had civil service protection. Since two thousand 1:33:37.000 --> 1:33:40.040 with Issue five, they don't have that anymore, so they 1:33:40.120 --> 1:33:43.480 kind of like moved around the chessboard by the politicians 1:33:43.680 --> 1:33:44.519 and that ain't right. 1:33:45.680 --> 1:33:50.120 Yeah, Showtel was is such a man across the country. 1:33:50.160 --> 1:33:52.400 You're right, you know, you know he made the cover 1:33:52.479 --> 1:33:54.439 of like Look magazine or something. 1:33:54.720 --> 1:33:56.920 I do know that. I think it was life. I've 1:33:56.960 --> 1:34:00.719 seen it before. Uh yeah, he was very very very 1:34:00.840 --> 1:34:03.320 well respected. But hey, I got I got to get 1:34:03.320 --> 1:34:04.400 a couple more calls in. 1:34:04.360 --> 1:34:10.280 Here, Rick, Okay, you hear about that. There's another arish 1:34:10.320 --> 1:34:14.480 between whether there's a skirmish developed between Cambodia and Thailand. 1:34:14.760 --> 1:34:16.120 Now that is insanity. 1:34:16.560 --> 1:34:19.320 What did you say developed between them? I'm sorry? Can 1:34:19.360 --> 1:34:19.920 you can you. 1:34:19.880 --> 1:34:23.040 Tell me that the war start between Cambodia? 1:34:23.120 --> 1:34:25.200 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1:34:25.040 --> 1:34:26.880 I mean what in the hell is going on? 1:34:27.400 --> 1:34:30.040 You got me? Uh And my brother lived in Thailand 1:34:30.080 --> 1:34:32.040 for I think about five or six years. He was 1:34:32.080 --> 1:34:35.360 working over there, and apparently they don't They just don't 1:34:35.400 --> 1:34:39.599 get along over there. The Vietnamese uh are they don't 1:34:39.720 --> 1:34:42.519 like Thailand. So I don't know what they got going 1:34:42.560 --> 1:34:44.839 on over there. It used to be a very strong 1:34:45.120 --> 1:34:48.880 uh royalty situation, but I don't know that that's the 1:34:48.880 --> 1:34:54.120 case anymore. But I appreciate you bringing it up. Okay, 1:34:54.120 --> 1:34:57.599 thank you.

But parts of 1:35:03.400 --> 1:35:07.120 the country are beautiful, other parts not so much. I 1:35:07.120 --> 1:35:10.360 don't think they have any zoning because you could have 1:35:10.479 --> 1:35:14.360 a luxury hotel and a corrugated metal shack next to it. 1:35:14.439 --> 1:35:16.800 But well, i'll tell you what, it's big and there 1:35:16.840 --> 1:35:20.719 are a ton of people. Hey, let's talk to Louise 1:35:20.880 --> 1:35:25.360 in Marino. Hey, Louise, Hi, Mike, I'll make this quick. 1:35:25.439 --> 1:35:27.719 I know you run short of time, and I'm reverting 1:35:27.760 --> 1:35:29.120 back to the original topic. 1:35:29.400 --> 1:35:32.240 Okay soon, Tim Wallas, Oh, yeah. 1:35:32.040 --> 1:35:33.960 Because I don't know about you, Mike, but I never 1:35:34.000 --> 1:35:37.480 even heard of him till that bird brand Kamela selected 1:35:37.520 --> 1:35:40.760 him as VP, and I'm wondering, what't you think with 1:35:40.840 --> 1:35:44.240 that process that they would have been vetting and this 1:35:44.320 --> 1:35:48.479 whole big scandal should have arose. And the question is 1:35:48.600 --> 1:35:51.800 did Caamela know or not? I know she's not a genius. 1:35:52.120 --> 1:35:54.559 I know she doesn't vet very well because she should 1:35:54.560 --> 1:35:58.360 have betted that scumble husband of hers, which evidently she didn't, 1:35:58.439 --> 1:36:02.200 or who would why would she? But the question is 1:36:02.360 --> 1:36:06.960 did how much did Kamela know about the scandal associated 1:36:07.360 --> 1:36:11.000 with that governor? And then she goes on to say 1:36:11.080 --> 1:36:13.799 why she didn't pick these other ones? Can you imagine 1:36:13.840 --> 1:36:17.599 Micah for Republicans, candidate said, I didn't pick so and 1:36:17.640 --> 1:36:19.880 so he was Jewish. I didn't pick so and so 1:36:19.960 --> 1:36:20.559 he was gay. 1:36:20.800 --> 1:36:24.080 Unbelievable. And you know what, people think I'm crazy, but 1:36:24.400 --> 1:36:27.519 I'll admit it. I bought her book and all that 1:36:27.640 --> 1:36:30.840 stuff comes out in the book. I mean, I hate 1:36:30.840 --> 1:36:32.720 to give her any money, but I figured i'd read 1:36:32.720 --> 1:36:35.639 it so you all don't have to. I have asked 1:36:35.680 --> 1:36:38.800 the question that you asked from day one. You know, 1:36:39.000 --> 1:36:41.799 when you're want to be vice president of the United States, 1:36:42.320 --> 1:36:47.719 the presidential candidate is supposed to do a thorough, thorough, 1:36:48.000 --> 1:36:52.599 thorough vetting, and that obvious, well, I want to say 1:36:52.640 --> 1:36:55.519 it obviously didn't happen. Maybe it did and she just 1:36:55.600 --> 1:36:59.720 didn't care. That's how stupid she is. You remember when 1:37:00.000 --> 1:37:03.600 George W. Or not George W. George H. W. Bush 1:37:03.800 --> 1:37:07.360 picked dan Quail. Apparently he and I liked that, I 1:37:07.400 --> 1:37:10.280 did any problem with him, But apparently he wasn't vetted 1:37:10.560 --> 1:37:14.240 very strongly either. That is that shows that she's got 1:37:14.240 --> 1:37:17.000 a messed up campaign where she's messed up in the 1:37:17.080 --> 1:37:20.439 mind because how could they not have known about the 1:37:20.520 --> 1:37:22.320 time bomb in Minnesota? 1:37:23.000 --> 1:37:23.160 Ry? 1:37:23.360 --> 1:37:25.599 Why would they picked up the food? No one ever 1:37:25.680 --> 1:37:26.280 heard of them? 1:37:26.479 --> 1:37:28.639 I know, I did. You know I didn't. 1:37:28.840 --> 1:37:31.200 Well, she's not the brightest thing around. And you know 1:37:31.560 --> 1:37:33.880 the funniest thing, Mike, I'll cut, I'll make this. 1:37:33.920 --> 1:37:34.840 Short, but it's not. 1:37:34.960 --> 1:37:38.320 I was watching something and she's on there giving dating advice. 1:37:38.640 --> 1:37:39.160 I know that. 1:37:40.439 --> 1:37:42.760 And the one thing she didn't say is make sure 1:37:42.800 --> 1:37:46.519 you sleep with the married man to help your career started. 1:37:46.960 --> 1:37:49.680 Oh yeah, there's a lot of talk about that. I 1:37:49.720 --> 1:37:51.760 saw that. I think it came out yesterday or the 1:37:51.840 --> 1:37:55.120 day before. It was hilarious and guess what, it didn't 1:37:55.120 --> 1:37:58.160 make any sense, which is not surprising, but it just 1:37:58.280 --> 1:38:03.839 wasn't coherent. But yeah, a dating advisor, marriage counselor Kamala Harris, 1:38:04.600 --> 1:38:07.240 who would have thought, Micha. 1:38:07.120 --> 1:38:09.640 I'll let you go, Happy New Year, stay healthy. 1:38:09.400 --> 1:38:12.640 Okay, thank you, Louise, I appreciate it. Yeah, you know, 1:38:12.760 --> 1:38:14.880 that is one of the big questions I've had since 1:38:14.960 --> 1:38:19.519 Jump when all this stuff was popping about Minnesota. I mean, 1:38:20.320 --> 1:38:24.840 you think about it. People had to know about that, uh, 1:38:24.880 --> 1:38:27.160 and you know, you usually hire a law firm or 1:38:27.240 --> 1:38:30.559 respected law firm, a firm that maybe has done this 1:38:30.680 --> 1:38:36.080 vetting before, and they just didn't. Apparently they didn't get 1:38:36.080 --> 1:38:39.240 a good one, good enough, because that's something that the 1:38:39.360 --> 1:38:41.320 candidate should have known. 1:38:42.040 --> 1:38:43.040 It just is. 1:38:43.600 --> 1:38:48.040 And she infers in the book. She doesn't come out 1:38:48.080 --> 1:38:51.880 and say it. The situation with her VP pick I 1:38:52.040 --> 1:38:56.680 kind of think she wanted the dude from Pennsylvania, Shapiro. 1:38:57.680 --> 1:39:01.560 But and what she said I wish I could remember verbatim. 1:39:01.800 --> 1:39:04.840 It was kind of like, well that might create a 1:39:04.840 --> 1:39:08.759 political problem, which I read as hey, man, I can't 1:39:08.840 --> 1:39:12.200 take him. He's Jewish, and you know, I got all 1:39:12.200 --> 1:39:15.240 these anti semites in my party. I don't want to 1:39:15.280 --> 1:39:18.960 hank them off. And boy, if that's the case, that's sad. 1:39:19.200 --> 1:39:22.000 It's really sad. And you know she's still walking around 1:39:22.840 --> 1:39:25.760 appearing on shows, thinking that she's going to be a 1:39:25.840 --> 1:39:29.720 viable candidate in twenty twenty eight. I almost hope she 1:39:29.800 --> 1:39:33.120 runs again. Jack see she'll get killed. But anyway, that's 1:39:33.160 --> 1:39:35.160 just my two cents. Hey, we are out of time, 1:39:35.160 --> 1:39:37.280 but i just want to let you know again that 1:39:37.360 --> 1:39:41.200 I'm in for Sloaney Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday of 1:39:41.360 --> 1:39:44.160 next week. So I'm looking forward to that.
