WEBVTT - Mike Allen Saturday Mid-Day -- 10/18/25

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday midday

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>on a really nice Saturday morning. Well, I'll tell you what,

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 1>we got a full show today for the first time

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.159
<v Speaker 1>in a while. Be here nine to noon. Should be

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 1>plenty of time to get y'all out in time for

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the No King's protest. The one down here is small

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>riverfront park. They got one in Claremont County. They got

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>one in northern Kentucky, they got one in Westchester. So

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll make sure y'all get out of there, get done

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>with this thing, so you can go. Of course, I

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 1>say that with tongue planted firmly in chic and you know,

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>not to get off on this, but I mean, what

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>do they think they accomplish? I mean, really, at the

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, you know, it's performative. It's so

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>they can feel good about out themselves. And they're pretty

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>much all the same. I mean, you know, you get

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>some three hundred pound woman with purple hair and nose

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>rings bitching about Donald Trump. At the end of the day,

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>what does that accomplish? I don't get it, But you

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>know what, more power to them. It's a free country.

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>We have a first Amendment here, but you're just wasting

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>your time. But sometimes there really is some humor in it,

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>so I guess we'll see on that. But getting down

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to business here, when as I talk just for a

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>minute about the left's response to the ceasefire that was

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>engineered by President Trump and bb Net and Yahoo mainly

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump though in the Israel Palestine war. Fox News Digital

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>has it's really good, has a great article on this thing.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>It says, it's titled the Deafening silence of the Free

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Power Palestine Movement after the Gaza Ceasefire. Now, in a

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>normal world, wouldn't you think that the people that have

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>been complaining the loudest about it would say, hey, you

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, it wasn't everything that we wanted it to be,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>But thank you, President Trump. That stuff don't happen on

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the left, It just doesn't. They're never wrong about anything.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>They'll never admit when they are wrong. You know, it

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't happen, and it kind of comes from the

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>inherent arrogance of liberalism. But you didn't hear anyone on

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the left comment about it at all. And of course

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no surprise there, and you know they'll be back,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they'll be singing their Peter Paul and Mary songs and

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>bitching about one thing or another. What about the Hollywood

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>b listers who had a field day criticizing Trump. And

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, this week we heard reports that Hamas was

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>executing Palestinian citizens who say they were or they say

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>was assisting Israel. So where is the left complaining about that?

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And they actually had pictures of that? And does that

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>surprise anyone either? See, that's the thing about this agreement.

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be a difficult thing to police, but

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they're going to have to do that. They kill each

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>other over there. And again, I'll say it, there's not

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a damn dime's worth of difference between Palestine and Jmas.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>If the Palestinians didn't want Hamas, they kicked their asses

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>out of there a long, long time ago. And you know,

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>now maybe the time is ripe for them to do something.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know what the military situation

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>is over there, but now they're killing one another. What

0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>about all the Hollywood bubbleheads who President Trump for what

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he did to bring the war to a peaceful conclusion.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think we need to talk about that

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>just for a second. Here okay, Fox New Celebrities who

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>called for ceasefire and guys have faced scrutiny after Trump

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>peace deal breakthrough. Hollywood's most vocal free Palestine advocates are

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>facing scrutiny for their muted or critical response to the

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which was secured, of course,

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>by President Trump. Many in Hollywood who repeatedly called for

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>ceasefire throughout the conflict, including members of campaigns such as

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Artists for Ceasefire film Workers for Palestine, have either stayed

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>quiet or criticized the breakthrough, with few acknowledgments of Trump's

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>role in securing it. And that's just it. I mean,

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what they wanted. They're not going to get their

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>free Palestine, but they did get the ceasefire. You would

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 1>think there would be a little bit of gratitude there,

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but no, not even gratitude, just at least acknowledge it.

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Columnist Paulaphrelic she criticized about a dozen celebrities who publicly

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 1>called for free Palestine and ceasefire now or wore a

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>red handpin to the Oscars in twenty twenty four. She

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>said many have since stayed silent on the peace deal,

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.280
<v Speaker 1>or continued to blame Israel for all the atrocities that

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>have happened in the past two years. You know, I

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>guess they weren't there for October the seventh, when babies

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>were murdered, women were raped, families were destroyed. But hey,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean anything. We're not worried about that. We're

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>worried about Israel. And you know, they're alleged crimes, which

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>there were none. There were none of substance. And you

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>know what, I'll take that back. A couple things happened,

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.239
<v Speaker 1>but the Israeli stepped right up. Well, anyway, this woman,

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Paula Farilik, had a good quote. If I were less charitable,

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I might argue that Hollywood celebrities care more about a

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>performative farce. And boy, she's so right. And that's just it.

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>She got the right word. Performative sparse. That's what they

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 1>want to do, scolding Israel and our president than seeing

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a free Palestine actually happen in real time. I don't

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 1>know about that. How's that for hypocrisy? And that was

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>coming from a person in the UK. Some supporters of

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the Free Palestine movement maintained that the ceasefire does not

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 1>fully address the humanitarian crisis or allegations accusing Israel of genocide.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Every time I hear that, that gets there on the

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>back of my neck.

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Up.

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Israel and the IDF did not commit any type of

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>genocide over there. Amasa, on the other hand, on October

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the seventh and throughout did And it looks like they're

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep it up this time. They're not gonna kill Israelis.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna kill their own people. That's what you're dealing

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>with here. These people are scum. They're the scum of

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the earth. They're filthy people. They kill babies, they rape women,

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>they destroy lives. Why in the hell are people saddling

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>up with them? I never could figure that out. It

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>just shows that the twisted sense of values and you know, uh,

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>just a really stupid outlook on things. And of course

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>we all know where it em and H's from. That

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>would be the American College camp. Oh here's another one,

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>this dude, John Cusack. He's an actor. I've heard of him.

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the hell he's been in. But

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to anyone that believes for a moment that Net and

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Yahoo will stop killing again, idiot What about the other side,

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>What about the moss idiot? I got to calm down.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>To anyone who believes for a moment that Netanyahu will

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>stop killing there's a brood a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>He'll give Trump the photo op and then resume. This

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is what the guy said, accusing both leaders of using

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the deal for political gain. So you know, that's Hollywood

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>for you. I guess I gotta be fair and read

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the I think one that I found where they express

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>support for it. Other celebrities expressed cautious optimism, progressive actors

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarana. Now, I got to tell you,

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Susan Sarandon is one of the biggest libs in Hollywood,

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>so this is kind of impressive. Shared a statement from

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>artists Force Ceasefire on October tenth, calling the agreement an

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>urgent and heartening moment of relief. So kudos for them

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>for at least having the you know what to step forward,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I mean give the man his due.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. The

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>woman who got it, I don't know what for. You know,

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I got to hand it to her too. She dedicated

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it to President Trump, So whatever, I mean, that's kind

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>of water under the damn. But just stay tuned on

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>this thing, because it's not over. Those people are going

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to continue to kill their own people over there, and

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess the protests for that will be upcoming pretty soon,

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>So stay tuned. I guess. Well, this week we also

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>had a real sentencing of a terrorist. You may recall

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that last week we were talking about the situation with

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the guy that came to b at Kavanaugh's house ready

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to go to town at all his equipment, ready to

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>kill him and or his family. And what did he get?

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>What sentence did he get for attempting to assassinate a

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court justice? He got eight years credit free and

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>figuring in the good time. Dude will be out sometime

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and no later than twenty twenty eight. So let me

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:48.079
<v Speaker 1>talk to you about the way terrorists should be sentenced.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>There's at least one judge in this country who knows

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>how to sentence a terrorist. Dude's name is Cody Balmer.

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You might remember this. He attempted to burn way. He

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>did burn down the governor's mansion for Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania.

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>He was sentenced to listen to this twenty five to

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, twenty five to fifty years in prison for

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the April thirteenth, twenty twenty five arson attack on the

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>official residence of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. He pled guilty

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to charges including attempted murder, aggravated arson, and terrorism after

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>firebombing the home while the governor and his family were inside.

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.079
<v Speaker 1>This one really really could.

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Have been bad.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, anyway, Like I said, he firebombed the Governor's residence

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in Harrisburg, causing millions of dollars in damage. He used

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>molotov cocktails made from beer bottles filled with gasolin. You

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>think those things can't do some damage, you know, But

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>he got twenty five to fifty years in state prison.

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what you do with these people, you had, well.

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Number one, first and foremost, you've got to punish them

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>because they deserve punishment. But you also have to send

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a message that hey, man, if you want to try

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.679
<v Speaker 1>this stuff and you get caught, shame on you. You're

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>going to get hammered, you know, with a sentence like

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>this guy got, it's appropriate twenty five to thirty years.

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about Pennsylvania law. You know, whether early

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>release would be a possibility, It probably would. He pled

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to twenty two counts of arson, So I guess we'll

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>have to see. But it was gratifying to see that,

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>especially coming so close after the travesty we had with

0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Brett Kavanaugh's murderer attempted murder sentence just a couple of

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>minutes here saw something this week that was kind of

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>shall I say, uplifting to me, transgenders, The trend is

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>declining quickly on American college campuses. This new analysis found

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the trans identification trend among young people appears to be

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>losing momentum. Recent data taken from college campuses shows a

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>sharp decline in the number of gen Zers identifying as

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>transgender over the past three years. Okay, let me lay

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 1>it out for you, and both twenty twenty two and

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three, five percent of college people identified as trans.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>IT went up in twenty twenty four to five point

0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>two percent. Now just recently, only three point six percent

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>identify as trans. You know, it doesn't sound like that's

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot, but you're not talking about a lot of people.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Only three point six, As I said, respondents identified as

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a gender other than male or female. And did you

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>ever think that we would actually be talking about this.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's to me and I think so many

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>other people, it's just so simple. Almighty God created us

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to be one thing or another, not in between, not

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to take your body apart, cutting things off, to transform

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>with what you think on that particular day. So good

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>news only five point two percent, well up to five

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>point two and twenty twenty four it was eight point

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>six in you know what, I missed that up when

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I read it before, uh, six point eight percent both

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty two and twenty three. Bottom line is

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>it's going down and that has to be a good thing.

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And let me be clear, and it seems like I

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>have to say this every time, but I do want

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to be clear. I'm not advocating for any kind of

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>ill treatment of transgender people, not even advocating for being

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>rude to them. What I am advocating for is the

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>government and through us, our taxpayer dollars, to facilitate that stuff.

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, this guy Ruffle or what's his name, the

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>guy that the guy that attempted to murder Brett Kavanaugh

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and his family. Part of his sentence was that the

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>government is going to have to pay at least some

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>of his medical bills for his sex change stuff. So

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what's good about it. It's good to

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>see those numbers going the other way. So I guess

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>we shall see what happens with that. Hey, we got

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to take a break, but we'll be back with your calls.

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred. The big

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>one are the numbers. Mike Allen Saturday Midday, thirty six

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>News Radio seven hundred WLW, Mike Allen Saturday Midday, get

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to the phones here in just a second. Just want

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to let you know. At ten o'clock after this segment,

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk to Janis Heisel of the Epoch Times.

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 1>She did as deep a dive as I've ever seen

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in two separate articles about Antifa. Just a real shadow,

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>shadowy organization that people don't know a lot about. But

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Janis is going to fill us in on all that.

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>At ten thirty we're going to talk as we frequently do,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>local politics, city politics with Christopher Smitheman, and at eleven o'clock.

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I always enjoy this independent political analysts, and he is independent.

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Burton we're going to talk to him about some

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 1>of the things going on in the national political scene.

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think we got a good show for you. Hey,

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>let's start off with our good friend Bobby. Hey, good morning, Bobby, Mike.

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 4>A simple thank you can't express our true feelings of

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 4>appreciation for you carrying that torture freedom high and bright

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 4>every day and make you're appreciated brother.

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. It's my honor to do it. Bobby.

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to bring up something we've discussed in the past,

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.879
<v Speaker 4>and it's the midst of our cultural revolution.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 5>We're going to have.

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Part of it going today, and all the protesters out there,

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 4>just take your cell phones because when Antifa and filtrate

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 4>your organization, we would love to know who you are

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 4>and where you're at, since you can't turn them all.

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Good point, good point. You know, they go through these

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 1>things and at the end of the day, of course

0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 1>they have a right to do it, But what do

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>they think they accomplish. More often than not, they look

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>like idiots.

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 6>You know that.

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I've always said this, Bobby, and I believe it. Most

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 1>of your hard left people, they're obsessed with the sixties.

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>They want to turn the clock back to the sixties,

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, people just don't want to do that.

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it, but hey, you know what have

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 1>about it, guys, if you want to make a fool

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>of yourself, go ahead.

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.920
<v Speaker 7>All it does is support our calls. My friend, you're

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.439
<v Speaker 7>absolutely right about that. I mean, I don't know. We

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 7>shall see, boy, I'll tell you what. They sure got

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 7>enough locations though in this area, and they seem to

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:38.680
<v Speaker 7>be pretty well organized.

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, what I mean,

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you accomplish anyway, That's just what I think

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you, my friend, and I hope they are

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 4>in the Rico Act somewhere.

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.439
<v Speaker 1>You never know, man, Thanks Bobby, Thank you, sir. Okay,

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. Well, I'll tell you you know, Bobby

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned RICO. I think in relationship to Antifa. Rico

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:07.560
<v Speaker 1>is the organized crime statute that federal. You got it

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in the state law too, but mainly federal where it's

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>if you can just to boil it all down, demonstrate

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 1>that some entity is a criminal entity, then there's going

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to be some criminal liability. Now we'll talk to Janis

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>about this, but you know, Trump gave that executive order

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>not too long ago designating Antifa as a terrorist organization,

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.959
<v Speaker 1>and they're drilling down on it. I think it's in

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>its infancy, but they're drilling down on that entity named Antifa,

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's a good thing. And one of the things

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be looking at is who's funding him.

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>They're real sketchy with their funding, and that's one of

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the things I think this probe is going to find

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 1>out now whether it's a George sorosteal, you know, I

0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I've read things where they show up to

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>these rallies with like preprinted placards that they can carry around,

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you don't do those. The night before,

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I did read this morning that apparently Soros is pretty

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>much bankroll in this whole idiocy of No King's Day. So,

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, Antifa is a problem for a long time.

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, they just kind of were in the background.

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>You weren't allowed to criticize him or anything like that,

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>but god forbid you criticize Black Lives Matter or one

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 1>of those groups. But knowing Trump, I think he's got

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a handle on the thing and we'll see what happens.

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess let's talk to Dennis. We haven't heard from

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.120
<v Speaker 1>him in a long time. Hey, Dennis, how you doing.

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back?

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.640
<v Speaker 3>All right, Mike, how are you good? Good?

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 1>What you got today? Good?

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah? This character who was sentenced for tempting to murder

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 8>you know here you know the Supreme Court. Oh yeah, yeah,

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 8>and his family and the sentence he got. You know,

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 8>somebody should have brought up what if he attempted the

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.159
<v Speaker 8>judge who sentenced them, well, if he had attempted to

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:18.399
<v Speaker 8>kill her and her family or you know, and and

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 8>and the fact that he's he she addressed them as

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 8>a transgender Uh, you know, he's a biological male. And

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.679
<v Speaker 8>I think, isn't he going to a female prison or

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 8>is he going to a male prisoner?

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe initially a male prison. You know that's

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 1>on the Bureau of Prisons, and you know what a

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 1>job they have to have to balance that whole circus.

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>She seemed like she was more concerned about his transgender

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:51.159
<v Speaker 1>rights than she was in you know, crafting the right.

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 1>It made sense.

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:58.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, I like these these these judges that are

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.719
<v Speaker 8>these people that these transgender people to get men biological

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 8>men get sent who sent get sent to women's prisons?

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 8>How do they reconcile the fact that these some of

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 8>the some of them impregnate the women inmates, which means

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 8>they are functioning as males, biological males, not as females.

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, that just goes out topsy turvy. This world is

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>in this country is I've heard that same thing too.

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'd hate to be a warden of one

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>of these federal prisons where on top of everything else,

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and prisons are places where bad things happen on top

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 1>of the normal things that happen. You got to deal

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 1>with this too, and it's just so unnecessary. Why do

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 1>we have to jump through hoops for a group that

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 1>is minuscule in number.

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, another thing, what do you think is gonna happen

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 8>with your police chief there in.

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>A you know what, I don't know. I think she's gone.

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 1>She retained Steve m who is one hell of a

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>employment lawyer. I think they're negotiating a settlement.

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:11.480
<v Speaker 8>For Yeah, you think she It sounds like she's been

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 8>made the fall I say, fall guy or whatever, the

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 8>scapegoat of this whole thing.

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right about that. And that's happening by

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>some members accouncil, but mainly the mayor. And you know what,

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not the way the situation is in the city

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.400
<v Speaker 1>crime wise, it ain't her fault. Has she been perfect?

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Probably not, But it's just wrong that all this stuff

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>is heaped upon her. But I think she'll be gone

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>by this time next week, probably sooner.

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, Ye.

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 8>Who should really follows your mayor? That's who needs to

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 8>be kicked out.

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>You would think. And we got an election coming out.

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>But boy, I'll tell you, the city of Cincinnati is

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.679
<v Speaker 1>a tough nut for a Republican the crack. But I

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 1>think Corey Bowman what I don't know how much know

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>about him, just a great he's the brother in law

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Vice president, but just on his own great candidate,

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 1>knows the issues, got the right temperament. But again he's

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 1>got an uphill battle.

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did watch. We watched the debate

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 8>on the on the on the streaming, and yeah, you're right,

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 8>he actually cares and he has no he has no

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 8>further political aspirations, right, like right.

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, I appreciate the call, Dennis, don't put a

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>stranger anymore. Okay, okay, bye bye. Yeah, I'm glad he

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>brought that up. I didn't want to talk about it.

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Sometime during the show, and I do think she's gone.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Steve im is in the Finny law firm. I think,

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>great law firm, and Steve is a very well respected

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:51.399
<v Speaker 1>lawyer in this area. So and you don't hire a

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>top notch guy like that if you know, you think

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you're going to keep your job. But it's uh, it's unfortunate,

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 1>it really is. And one thing, and I'm going to

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:02.959
<v Speaker 1>get back to the phones here in just a second.

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people don't realize this, and maybe with

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 1>me it's a function of age. Back in the nineties,

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe it was maybe early two thousands, there was

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:17.679
<v Speaker 1>an issue on the city ballot. It was Issue five,

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and what it was all about is taking away civil

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 1>service protection from the chief of police and placing that

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 1>in the hands of the mayor. I'm going to tell

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you right now it was dumb, dumb, dumb, But it

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 1>passed I think pretty handily. If my recollection is correct.

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>If we did not have Issue five, and if the

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 1>police chief still had civil service protections and I'm not

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:53.199
<v Speaker 1>saying she's doing this, any police chief would not have

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to go down to city Hall and say may or,

0:25:56.920 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>may I you know, and that and it worked out

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>well for years and years and years. Perhaps perhaps we

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 1>might need to get that back on the ballot, because

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, if Issue five and what promulgated from

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Issue five wasn't there, we wouldn't be in the mess

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.879
<v Speaker 1>that we're in. We still have crime problems, but the

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>chief of police would not be a political entity. That

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>person would be a law enforcement entity. Anyway, let's talk

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to Barry in Miamisburg. Hey, Barry, how you doing.

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:37.560
<v Speaker 9>I just want to ask the question, after listening to

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 9>the radio over the course of the week, how much

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 9>more clueless the city leadership be about crime.

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:50.399
<v Speaker 1>It's yeah, you're absolutely right, You are so right about that.

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 1>They don't get it.

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 9>I heard the mayor talk about needing more gun control.

0:26:56.119 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 9>One the problem, you she is not being criminals in

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 9>jail for more than three hours. Yeah, that's the problem.

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 1>It's not gun control. It's a problem with police not

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 1>being aggressive and proactive. And again, I know I say

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>this every time, but I think I should. It ain't

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:20.919
<v Speaker 1>their fault. I think they'd love to be unleashed and

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>do aggressive and legal, constitutional, proactive policing. That's what we need.

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>That's the only thing that's going to solve this, not

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>gun control, not more programs. You know, I'm sorry. Yeah.

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.399
<v Speaker 9>First of all, I do not believe the problem is

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 9>with your rank and file police officer. They have to

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 9>deal with the garbage that they get from the top.

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh. Absolutely. I mean it's a pairamilitary organization. If their boss,

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the sergeant, captain, lieutenant, a system chief, chief, whatever,

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>tells them to do something, I mean, as long it's

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 1>not patently illegal, they have to do it. It is not.

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>You are so so right, Barry. It is not the

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>line level officer. That police officer is not at fault.

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I've talked to a lot of these young guys and women,

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's pretty much almost to the person, what I get.

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>They're afraid to do their jobs like they used to

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.120
<v Speaker 1>be done because, you know, let's just say they pull

0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>over the wrong person. You know, they say, just accidentally

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>something you know, out of line to the wrong person, Boom,

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 1>They're in the jackpot and they're not going to risk that.

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't blame them.

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 9>The second thing is your next guest from Epic Time. Yes,

0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 9>it's part of the reason why I have an electric

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 9>subscription to that. She is so on the ball it's amazing.

0:28:58.960 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:28:59.360 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 9>You know what.

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 1>You said that before, and I told her that and

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>she told me to tell you she appreciates it. So

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>there you go. Yeah, I concur with that. She's very well. Okay, Barry,

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>thank you appreciate it. How about Maureen, Let's talk to Maureen. Hey, Maureen,

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 1>how are you hi?

0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Good morning, Mike.

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 10>I wanted to chime in on the groups that are

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 10>involved with the No Kings.

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Movement this week today.

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 10>There was an article yesterday, it was on the Gateway Pundit,

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 10>and it's called No King's Protest in New York City

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 10>Saturday is sponsored by several communist groups and it goes

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:46.600
<v Speaker 10>into it's the Democratic Socialists of America, New York Working

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 10>Families and Parties, the CPUSA Freedom Socialist Party, and they're

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:54.480
<v Speaker 10>all sponsoring this lat rally. And if you go to

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 10>that article on Gateway Pundit from yesterday, it'll tell you.

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 11>It'll give you a video of.

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 10>Chuck Schumer and how he's promoting it. Instead of trying

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 10>to work on shutting down the shutdown or opening up again,

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 10>he's promoting this this movement today.

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 12>But it always.

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 10>Sponsored by communist parties and they'll give you all the

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 10>whole list. There's like, I don't know, over one hundred

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 10>of them in that article. I'm gonna be good for

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 10>people to look at.

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely gonna check that out, you know. And didn't

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>you just say that part of it is one of

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the endorsers is the Communist Party of USA. Is that correct?

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:31.200
<v Speaker 13>Absolutely?

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 10>Yes, and it's yeah, it's a lot of them that

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 10>It's all in that article. It shows you all their

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.240
<v Speaker 10>logos and everything so that you can see them. I'm

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 10>sure they'll be on their placards today that are pre made.

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, paid for by George Soros apparently. But

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, well I sure appreciate that. Heads up, Marine,

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 1>sure check it out, Okay, I will thank you, thanks, Mike. Yeah,

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the organization she rattled off, I mean one of them

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>was CPUSA Communist Party of the United States of America,

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>which now is a joke. I mean it's just a joke,

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, just like the Klan is a joke on

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the other side. But it's still there. And all those

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>other groups are what they used to call and I'm

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>still going to call them Communist front organizations. Look if

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the City of New York Alexman Dami, they're going to

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:28.719
<v Speaker 1>get a dose. If he's true to his word, and

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I ain't so sure about that, but if he's true

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to his word and true to what he says he's

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>going to do, we are going to have one hell

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of a crash in the city in New York. And

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I kind of feel sorry for those people.

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Apparently some of the more wealthy ones business people are

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>already getting the hell out of there. But it would

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 1>be good in that we will get a bird'seye view

0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of what happens when a municipal government is governed by

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:07.440
<v Speaker 1>someone who is at minimum a socialist and in all

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:12.600
<v Speaker 1>likelihood probably a communist. And you know, I've been around

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a while. I've enjoyed being interested in politics for a

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:20.480
<v Speaker 1>long long time, disgusted with my father at the dinner

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>table and everything else. If you would have told me

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>back then that there would be a communist or committed socialist,

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>even borderline communist running for an office like that, you're crazy,

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd say, you're crazy. I always wonder, maybe it's weird,

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:44.479
<v Speaker 1>but I always wonder what Ronald Reagan must be thinking.

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that guy put this country on one hell

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of a straight course and boy, if he's looking down now,

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he can be too happy, but I

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>mean that's the way it is. And thank god for

0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 1>one Donald J. Trump. He has turned more stuff around

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in less than a year than most presidents accomplish in

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>their time in two terms. It's amazing and it's surprising

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>to me, shocking to me in a good way. What's

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 1>going on? And well, i'll tell you what. He is

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>not letting anyone get in his way. Keep in mind

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:27.239
<v Speaker 1>with him, it's not even been a year yet. But

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 1>we have to keep the House. We got to beef

0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>up that majority, we have to keep the Senate or

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this stuff, not all of it comes

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to a grinding halt. Hey, we got to break for

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the news. But again we've talked about this morning. When

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:44.840
<v Speaker 1>we get back, we're going to talk to Janis Heisel

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:49.479
<v Speaker 1>of the Epoch Times about Antifa, what they're all about

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and how they formed. We'll do that when we get back.

0:33:52.600 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Mike Allen, Saturday Midday News Radio seven Drew Mike Allen

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday Midday, Well, President Trump, the Department of Justice,

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and the FBI are really cracking down on terrorist groups

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like the one we're going to talk about Antifa. The

0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 1>President designated them as a domestic terrorist organization any ordered

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 1>federal agencies to root out quote any and all illegal

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 1>operations close quote. But really, I mean, what do we

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>know about Antifa. I don't think it's very much. Really.

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Janis Heisl of the Epoch Times did a deep dive

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:40.879
<v Speaker 1>on this subject in two separate articles, and she's here

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>this morning to tell us about it.

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:46.719
<v Speaker 14>Janus, good morning, good morning, Thank you for having me.

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, my pleasure, my pleasure. Just in general, tell us

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>about what you learned about Antifa, and I'll have some

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:57.359
<v Speaker 1>specific questions later, but just generally what you found out,

0:34:57.400 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 1>because I really don't think Janis people know a lot

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:00.960
<v Speaker 1>about the group.

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 14>Well, actually I didn't either, and so I got this

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 14>assignment and then, as you mentioned, I really did a

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 14>lot of research and poured it into this story that

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 14>you referenced, a couple of stories that I did. So

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 14>one of the biggest things that stands out to me

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 14>is that this movement actually encompasses a whole bunch of

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 14>different ideologies. For example, it attracts a lot of people

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 14>who are into anarchy, people who are into communism, and

0:35:29.200 --> 0:35:31.839
<v Speaker 14>it actually has communist roots, which I did not know

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:33.720
<v Speaker 14>before I did this research.

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I had heard that maybe maybe came across

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>this that it kind of sprang from the Spanish Civil

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 1>War back in the thirties and forties. I don't know.

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Did you find anything out that would verify that, not

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that it matters.

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:54.239
<v Speaker 14>Actually, the anti fascist movement as it's known today is

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 14>generally traced to nineteen thirty two when a group in

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 14>Germany formed that caught it self in German, the English

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:04.200
<v Speaker 14>translation is anti fascist action.

0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:09.120
<v Speaker 5>Thus the word antifa started to come into vogue.

0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 14>And even today, a lot of the signs, symbols that

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 14>were used, flags and things that were used by that

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:18.760
<v Speaker 14>group are still in use today, embraced by this movement

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:23.879
<v Speaker 14>which ironically accuses other people of being fascist, but then

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:27.320
<v Speaker 14>they're accused of being fascist by again. The term fascism

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 14>is even quote unquote hard to define, even according to

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:33.839
<v Speaker 14>people who are proponents of fascism. Generally, it's viewed as

0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 14>authoritarianism or trying to stop people from expressing their opinions

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:39.920
<v Speaker 14>or oppressing them.

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:41.919
<v Speaker 5>But then that is what antifa does.

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 14>Antifa is it's such a contradictory thing because antifa says

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.759
<v Speaker 14>you know, we're going after people who.

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 5>Are oppress others, But then what do they do?

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 14>They try to stop people from seeing things they want

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:57.880
<v Speaker 14>to say. In fact, two of their slogans are quote

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:02.239
<v Speaker 14>no platform for people who are they deem fascist and

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:05.040
<v Speaker 14>it's up to them to decide who's a fascist, and

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 14>anybody under their definition could be named a fascist.

0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 5>That was another surprise I.

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.919
<v Speaker 14>Was stunned to see on the Rose City Antifa, which

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:16.880
<v Speaker 14>is the Portland, Oregon where where there's been a lot

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 14>of clashes lately with ICE and Antifa. One of their

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 14>criteria is literally people who engage in anti liberal, anti

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 14>communists or get this anti conservative rhetoric.

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:37.120
<v Speaker 5>Anybody might fit that definition. I just kind of liked it.

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, although that's not the only criteria.

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 14>They say that you have to have several criteria before

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 14>they would deem you a fascist.

0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 5>But people who were in.

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.839
<v Speaker 14>The movement and blew the whistle on this say that,

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:51.359
<v Speaker 14>you know, as soon as you aren't stepping in line

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:53.880
<v Speaker 14>with what they want, you become a fascist and they

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 14>attack you.

0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh of course. You've got a really interesting quote on

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:01.279
<v Speaker 1>page eight of the longer article from a guy named

0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Gabriel nadalas ex ANTIFA participant and author of a book.

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a real short quote. Antifas stands for anti fascist,

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 1>but the name is deceptive. Anyone who dares to criticize

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the group or its tactics can be labeled a fascist.

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, that word is getting to be like

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:25.960
<v Speaker 1>racist and racism, where it's tossed around so much. I mean,

0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the word fascist tossed around so much that it's literally

0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:32.240
<v Speaker 1>lost all of its value and meaning.

0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 14>It has been tossed around quite a bit. And you know,

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.640
<v Speaker 14>I've interviewed people. There was one man I interviewed for

0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:42.720
<v Speaker 14>that article that you're referencing who has been.

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Very victimized, very like Docks.

0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 14>That's another technique besides actual violence, to try to shut

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 14>people down.

0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 5>And they wear black clothing. That's another thing.

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 14>You know, although that you know, anybody can wear black, right,

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 14>you might go to a gym and find a bunch

0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:59.280
<v Speaker 14>of people wearing black, but anybody.

0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 5>Could wear black. But this is another characteristic.

0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:04.720
<v Speaker 14>They dress in black block, including masks on the face.

0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:05.560
<v Speaker 13>Prior to.

0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:09.719
<v Speaker 14>Even COVID, you know, they used to wear masks to

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:13.759
<v Speaker 14>make themselves anonymous. So there was a gentleman who was

0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:16.400
<v Speaker 14>telling me about these techniques that he's observed over and

0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:19.080
<v Speaker 14>over again, and it makes them hard to identify.

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:20.680
<v Speaker 5>So if you're attacked.

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 14>By a black block as they call it vloc, you

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 14>can't go, oh, that's the guy that hit me over

0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 14>the head with a pipe.

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:29.920
<v Speaker 5>You just can't identify these people.

0:39:30.440 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 2>So that was.

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:33.640
<v Speaker 5>Another thing that I found. And they docs.

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:36.799
<v Speaker 14>People, meaning they take your personal information, they'll put it

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:38.520
<v Speaker 14>out there and they'll label you.

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 5>As anti gay, and they'll tag.

0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:44.399
<v Speaker 14>Your employer, and they will maybe even go after your

0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 14>family members, show up at your you know, places you're

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 14>known to hang out, and just lots of different ways

0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:54.400
<v Speaker 14>to intimidate people into a feeling that it's no longer

0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 14>worth coming out and sharing whatever your political view is.

0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, I'm assuming, based on what you've said and based

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on what I read in your articles, that there is

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:11.960
<v Speaker 1>no identifiable leader or really even any structure for Antifa.

0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that an accurate statement from what I understand?

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:19.920
<v Speaker 5>Yes, although there is a one network that.

0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:24.839
<v Speaker 14>Does have at least seven identified active members. You can

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 14>go on the Internet and search for Torch Antifa network

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 14>and it has seven active chapters there.

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:33.560
<v Speaker 5>And actually I'm told that that's by.

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 14>Design that the analogy given to me by one of

0:40:36.480 --> 0:40:38.919
<v Speaker 14>the people I interviewed was, you know, it's not like that,

0:40:39.280 --> 0:40:42.399
<v Speaker 14>you know, the mafia or a drug cartel is going

0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:45.800
<v Speaker 14>to have an organizational chart like the typical corporation would.

0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 14>You wouldn't have that out there because it's a way

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.760
<v Speaker 14>to give, you know, guideposts to people who might seek

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:56.240
<v Speaker 14>to authorities who might seek to be charging you criminally

0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 14>for these activities.

0:40:58.040 --> 0:41:01.959
<v Speaker 5>And so you know, whenever there's been an org chart

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 5>of for example, the mafia.

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:07.040
<v Speaker 14>That tends to be something that the authority is put

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 14>together after investigating. So we don't know what it looks like.

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.920
<v Speaker 14>It may be as loose as described, it may be

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 14>more organized than described. But one of the biggest things

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 14>that cash Puttel, the FBI director, said is that he

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:23.000
<v Speaker 14>is following the money because quote, money never lies.

0:41:23.040 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 1>He said, I saw that in your article, and that

0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:27.759
<v Speaker 1>leads me into what I was going to ask you later,

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 1>but I'll ask it now. Any idea who is funding

0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 1>this group? Now, the logical suspect would be George Soros.

0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess his son's taken over his communist stuff now,

0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>But we're able to get any kind of clue or

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 1>lead into who's spending money on this thing, because I

0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it was in your article, but somewhere else.

0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, they show up to these rallies, these protests

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 1>with handmade not handmade, but pre made signs that look

0:41:56.680 --> 0:42:00.879
<v Speaker 1>like they were professionally done. Somebody's somebody's bank rolling them.

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Anything on that Janus.

0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 14>Well, there are videos that actually show equipment such as

0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 14>you know, masks or maybe even weapons, different things being

0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 14>handed out from like vans. So again, there is something

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:18.160
<v Speaker 14>afoot here that part of it I don't know a

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:20.720
<v Speaker 14>lot about. I do know that the authorities are looking

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 14>into this, The FBI, all the different agencies of the

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:28.200
<v Speaker 14>federal government are investigating the funding aspect, and I've read

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.560
<v Speaker 14>some things about it, But right now I don't have

0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:32.560
<v Speaker 14>a deep knowledge on that yet, and I don't think

0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 14>most people are.

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 5>Very few people would at this point.

0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 14>It's something that there's just a dawning awareness of, and

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 14>more and more investigation is going to be coming forth,

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:45.839
<v Speaker 14>I think. So we'll see what happens, and we'll see

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 14>whether you know, it really is as quote unquote not

0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:53.239
<v Speaker 14>organized as they say, or whether it's more organized than

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 14>they are purporting.

0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 1>It's really perplexing. I mean, and obviously the president is

0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>put as a high priority, and that's obviously a good thing.

0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But boy, I'll tell you what, it's really sketchy. Wanted

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to ask you. There's a guy that you interviewed, I

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:12.839
<v Speaker 1>think for both of your articles. But Andy, and I'm

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna probably screw this up, ngo nego am I saying that? Right?

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Janis if Andy know?

0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 14>And actually I incorporated into my story an interview he

0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:25.160
<v Speaker 14>did with one of my colleagues.

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:27.279
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes we do that to help each other out.

0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:30.120
<v Speaker 14>But so I didn't speak with him directly, although I've

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:32.399
<v Speaker 14>been in contact with him on social media. And that

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:37.520
<v Speaker 14>particular journalist was attacked viciously and almost died of a

0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 14>brain game in twenty nineteen, and he describes in his book,

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.920
<v Speaker 14>which I did read for this article, how you know,

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:47.359
<v Speaker 14>he was hit very hard in the back of his head.

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 14>He naively thought maybe it was an accident, and he

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:53.440
<v Speaker 14>turns around and then suddenly he's surrounded by what he

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:57.080
<v Speaker 14>calls what they call the black Block, an anonymous mob

0:43:57.160 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 14>of black clad people just beating the pulp out of

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:01.560
<v Speaker 14>this guy.

0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 5>And he shows up at.

0:44:03.880 --> 0:44:06.359
<v Speaker 14>The hospital with a brain bleed and then to humiliate him.

0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:08.960
<v Speaker 5>They threw like I guess, milkshaits on him.

0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 14>There's even a picture in my article that shows this

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:16.480
<v Speaker 14>young man just dripping with this white colored liquid. Just

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 14>again it's a humiliation tactic. And you know, they targeted

0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:23.920
<v Speaker 14>him and literally he said, all he was doing was

0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:26.000
<v Speaker 14>filming with his iPhone.

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 5>He wasn't bothering anybody.

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 14>I don't think he was even necessarily talking to anybody

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.919
<v Speaker 14>at the moment, hit from behind and almost died.

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 5>He's because he was just pummeled.

0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:37.759
<v Speaker 1>He's a journalist, didn't he Yeah, yeah, he was.

0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.520
<v Speaker 5>An independent journalist at the time. He's not affiliated with

0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:41.759
<v Speaker 5>like a couple of.

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:45.720
<v Speaker 14>Organizations, I believe, and has written this book that has been.

0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:46.360
<v Speaker 5>A best seller.

0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 14>He actually had to leave the country because he has

0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:53.880
<v Speaker 14>been so so attacked. In his last name No and

0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 14>Geo is a Vietnamese name, and he says in his

0:44:57.520 --> 0:45:01.840
<v Speaker 14>book and in interviews I've seen with him where he

0:45:02.160 --> 0:45:07.320
<v Speaker 14>loves this country. His parents escaped communist regime in Vietnam,

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:11.000
<v Speaker 14>and that's why he felt so passionate about bringing to

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:14.360
<v Speaker 14>light what these people are doing. And you know, not

0:45:14.480 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 14>all of them are communists, and he says they're purposely

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:21.399
<v Speaker 14>hard to define. They're purposely you know, it helps make

0:45:21.440 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 14>it harder to identify who they are. It makes it

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 14>harder to maybe even press charges. It's just it's done

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:31.440
<v Speaker 14>by design to be kind of vague.

0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and boy, I tell you that's one of the

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 1>things that is kind of consistent through it. They are vague.

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:40.640
<v Speaker 1>And in your article, I forget which one. And this

0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is pretty incredible, but doesn't surprise me. Former FBI Director

0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Ray called Antifa quote an ideology rather than quote

0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:54.520
<v Speaker 1>an organization. I get it that they're sketchy, but when

0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the top law enforcement off Sir makes that determination based

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 1>on nothing, just tells me that, at least under him,

0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:06.600
<v Speaker 1>they weren't taking it seriously. It certainly seems like Cash

0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Battel and President Trump and you know, the whole Department

0:46:11.080 --> 0:46:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of Justice are taking it seriously. Would you agree with that?

0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:19.759
<v Speaker 14>Well, they have made no bones about it. In fact,

0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:26.000
<v Speaker 14>in his executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization

0:46:26.960 --> 0:46:28.720
<v Speaker 14>and also in a related.

0:46:28.320 --> 0:46:30.319
<v Speaker 5>Memo, President Trump comes out and.

0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:35.000
<v Speaker 14>Tells all the various aspects of the national security apparatus.

0:46:34.640 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 5>The FBI, even the.

0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 14>IRS, all of these different agencies, the Treasury, department, on

0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:46.000
<v Speaker 14>and on. He is issuing directives to fully investigate and

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:50.440
<v Speaker 14>root out whatever structure does exist and whatever funding does exist,

0:46:50.719 --> 0:46:53.960
<v Speaker 14>and make it a high NAP. I think he said

0:46:54.000 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 14>the word top national priority in either the memo or

0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:57.640
<v Speaker 14>the executive order.

0:46:57.640 --> 0:46:58.439
<v Speaker 5>I don't remember which.

0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you it's obviously needed. Are you gonna

0:47:02.280 --> 0:47:03.680
<v Speaker 1>stay on this? I sure hope so.

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:06.600
<v Speaker 5>Actually I have been told to do that.

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:09.279
<v Speaker 14>So it seems like, you know, this is gonna be

0:47:09.320 --> 0:47:14.279
<v Speaker 14>my next area of concentration. And I've got to say,

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:18.839
<v Speaker 14>it's uh. When you dig into this, it the murkiness

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:21.759
<v Speaker 14>of the whole thing becomes even more apparent to you.

0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 5>It's just it was a vague thing for.

0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:27.200
<v Speaker 14>Me, and now it's become specifically vague, if that makes

0:47:27.200 --> 0:47:27.840
<v Speaker 14>any sense.

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Now I understand that it's purpose.

0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:33.399
<v Speaker 14>They try to be vague about it, and it can't

0:47:33.400 --> 0:47:34.160
<v Speaker 14>attract anybody.

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:36.360
<v Speaker 5>And the sad part is anybody.

0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 14>Can be a target, literally, anybody who opposes them like

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:42.280
<v Speaker 14>that that one quote, That's why I've told that quote

0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:46.359
<v Speaker 14>from the book. Anybody can be labeled a fascist. And

0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:49.160
<v Speaker 14>what a horrible thing to say about a person, same

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:51.520
<v Speaker 14>thing as the word racist exactly, you know.

0:47:51.960 --> 0:47:55.359
<v Speaker 1>It's tossed around so much that it virtually has no

0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:56.400
<v Speaker 1>meaning anymore.

0:47:57.960 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 14>And I don't think a lot of people even know

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 14>what the word fascist means, if they're being truthful, because

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.799
<v Speaker 14>even the people, even the guy who wrote the book

0:48:05.840 --> 0:48:10.720
<v Speaker 14>that was pro antifa, said fascism is hard to define.

0:48:11.640 --> 0:48:14.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I guess growing up and learning about this

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:18.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff in high school, and I always equated fascism with

0:48:18.520 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Benito Mussolini over in Italy. But it is a word

0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that I guess can have any number of meanings whatever

0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they want to give it for the day, I suppose,

0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:32.200
<v Speaker 1>but really appreciate you talk to us about this, Janus,

0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and hope we can call on you again.

0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:37.640
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, Mike is always a pleasure. Thank you so much

0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:38.160
<v Speaker 5>for having me.

0:48:38.280 --> 0:48:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thank you all right, Janis Heisel of the Epoch Times.

0:48:44.000 --> 0:48:47.200
<v Speaker 1>If you have time and you are so inclined, man,

0:48:47.600 --> 0:48:50.560
<v Speaker 1>go read these articles. They're kind of like one right

0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:55.760
<v Speaker 1>on top of the other. The longer one antifat communist roots,

0:48:56.239 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 1>violent tactics and terror designation, and the other on FBI

0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:04.719
<v Speaker 1>other agencies ramp up antifa probe and boy, I'll tell

0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you what that is so needed, and that is something

0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, there is no way in

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:18.200
<v Speaker 1>God's green earth that they would have done anything similar

0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to that. Anyway, we got to take a break, but

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:32.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll be back. Mike Allen Saturday. Hey, we're back, Mike

0:49:32.440 --> 0:49:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Allen Saturday midday. We put out an all points bulletin

0:49:37.280 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 1>for Christopher Smoothman. I have in a little trouble locating

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:45.200
<v Speaker 1>him today, but if I know him, he'll call. He's

0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:49.200
<v Speaker 1>probably busy on his campaign, but gives me an opportunity

0:49:49.239 --> 0:49:51.839
<v Speaker 1>to say. Just as I'm sitting here, I heard our

0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>newscast talking about a person was apprehended on a drive

0:49:57.680 --> 0:50:01.800
<v Speaker 1>by shooting that happened downtown course in the three hundred

0:50:01.880 --> 0:50:06.319
<v Speaker 1>block of Sycamore Street. Well, anyway, they talked about, you know,

0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:11.200
<v Speaker 1>apprehending the guy and somebody I assume it as a

0:50:11.239 --> 0:50:15.600
<v Speaker 1>police they wanted to or they acknowledged help from the

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton County Probation Department Field office. They have these different

0:50:21.640 --> 0:50:26.360
<v Speaker 1>probation substations throughout the county where you know, the probation

0:50:26.480 --> 0:50:30.000
<v Speaker 1>officers are a little bit closer to the action to

0:50:30.040 --> 0:50:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the people. Without question, everyone has said that it's a

0:50:35.200 --> 0:50:39.360
<v Speaker 1>good idea. Well, the judges don't think so apparently. I

0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:41.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they voted on it or not, but

0:50:42.920 --> 0:50:48.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Fox nineteen article dated September third, and

0:50:48.320 --> 0:50:50.239
<v Speaker 1>they talk about they're going to have a vote on

0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:52.839
<v Speaker 1>whether to get rid of them or not. I said

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:54.799
<v Speaker 1>it at the time, and I'll say it again. There

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:59.759
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely no reason whatsoever to get rid of the

0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:03.799
<v Speaker 1>pro bation field offices. And you just heard it. They

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:08.640
<v Speaker 1>were helpful, apparently, and apprehending this dude in a drive

0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:12.000
<v Speaker 1>by shooting on Sycamore Street. So anyway, I just wanted

0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to point that out. We have Christopher Smithman on the line,

0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe, Hey.

0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Christopher, Hey Mike, how are you doing this morning? Of course,

0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I totally agree with you about the substations, Yeah, and

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:30.799
<v Speaker 2>the locations of where they were located, and then even

0:51:30.880 --> 0:51:33.600
<v Speaker 2>how it all went down, you know, kind of like

0:51:33.920 --> 0:51:37.759
<v Speaker 2>the in the Dark, the Republican judges were locked out,

0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:41.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know, this decision was made to close them,

0:51:41.640 --> 0:51:45.319
<v Speaker 2>and it kind of broadsided most of the judges down there.

0:51:45.360 --> 0:51:48.319
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know even why that decision was.

0:51:48.239 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Made, but it was made because what I've got here

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:52.719
<v Speaker 1>in front of me, I had to scramble. I just

0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:55.560
<v Speaker 1>have an article that says they're going to vote on Thursday,

0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:58.440
<v Speaker 1>so I assume they voted to get rid of them,

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:00.839
<v Speaker 1>which is one of the stupid But it's things I've

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:01.480
<v Speaker 1>ever heard of.

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely it was, And what it does is it just

0:52:06.760 --> 0:52:09.560
<v Speaker 2>continues to undermine, you know.

0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:10.680
<v Speaker 8>Public services.

0:52:10.880 --> 0:52:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Yep, you know.

0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:15.560
<v Speaker 2>It feels like a drum beat, Mike Allen. Where every

0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:18.279
<v Speaker 2>time we turn around, there are people that are doing

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:22.320
<v Speaker 2>things that are supporting criminals and not the priority of

0:52:23.200 --> 0:52:25.760
<v Speaker 2>protecting law abid the citizens. And I think we're seeing

0:52:25.800 --> 0:52:28.760
<v Speaker 2>that kind of trend, and I'm not exaggerating all across

0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the United States of America. So why would you shut

0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:32.680
<v Speaker 2>something down that's working.

0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't never make sense. I don't know, you know,

0:52:35.480 --> 0:52:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to be able to ask those judges who

0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:41.520
<v Speaker 1>voted for doing that, what were there reasons, or you know,

0:52:41.840 --> 0:52:44.399
<v Speaker 1>if there are reasons that are written down somewhere, it's

0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:48.480
<v Speaker 1>probably public record. But it's just the debacle. When I

0:52:48.560 --> 0:52:52.080
<v Speaker 1>heard that Christopher on the newscast right before I started

0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 1>talking to you, I thought, wait a minute, we talked

0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:57.720
<v Speaker 1>about that on this show a while back. But anyway,

0:52:57.760 --> 0:53:00.880
<v Speaker 1>getting down to the main issue, here. You know, crime

0:53:00.960 --> 0:53:04.839
<v Speaker 1>continues to kind of run rampant in the city of Cincinnati.

0:53:05.200 --> 0:53:08.319
<v Speaker 1>We've got that shooting that we just talked about three

0:53:08.400 --> 0:53:12.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred block of Sycamore Street. Then you've got, of course

0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the shootout at the Ok Corral down there on the

0:53:16.200 --> 0:53:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Fountain Square, and now it looks like the blame is

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:22.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be heaped on our police chief. Your thoughts

0:53:22.880 --> 0:53:24.560
<v Speaker 1>on all of that, Christopher.

0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, crime is on the ballot. I can tell you

0:53:27.640 --> 0:53:30.880
<v Speaker 2>no matter where we walk and whatever door we talk to,

0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:33.560
<v Speaker 2>whether and I'm going to name some of these neighborhoods

0:53:33.560 --> 0:53:36.279
<v Speaker 2>that we've been in. So whether it's Bond Hill, Rolls

0:53:36.360 --> 0:53:40.360
<v Speaker 2>on our Evingston or Kennedy Heights, the message is the

0:53:40.400 --> 0:53:44.560
<v Speaker 2>same from Grandma, Grandpa, those middle aged people that have

0:53:44.680 --> 0:53:49.040
<v Speaker 2>raised their children, they paid off their house, equity in

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 2>their home is their number one investment, and they're concerned

0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:55.480
<v Speaker 2>about coming out of their house and being robbed. And

0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:57.520
<v Speaker 2>so whether we were there, or whether we were in

0:53:57.600 --> 0:54:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Hyde Park or Mount lookout Right, or whether we were

0:54:01.040 --> 0:54:04.600
<v Speaker 2>in Westwood or Price Hill, the message is the same.

0:54:04.760 --> 0:54:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Crime is the number one issue that people are concerned about. Mike, Yes,

0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And what has happened is the mayor's drum beat is perception, perception,

0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:19.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not your reality. Right, And then we turn on

0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the TV. I'm gonna show you where I'm going with

0:54:22.480 --> 0:54:25.560
<v Speaker 2>my logic. Here is we see a shootout on two

0:54:25.800 --> 0:54:29.160
<v Speaker 2>occasions right around our core Fountain Square, one off the

0:54:29.200 --> 0:54:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Fountain Square, one on the Fountain Square right. And then

0:54:33.800 --> 0:54:36.960
<v Speaker 2>you see the going to your question. Here you see

0:54:37.000 --> 0:54:40.520
<v Speaker 2>the mayor who has said it's our perception crime is down,

0:54:40.760 --> 0:54:45.960
<v Speaker 2>make the decision to fire the police chief right before

0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the election. While he's telling her you're doing a great job,

0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:54.560
<v Speaker 2>meaning if crime is down, you're in the campaign in

0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:58.160
<v Speaker 2>both debates and you're going after your opponent, Corey Bowman

0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:00.360
<v Speaker 2>saying you really don't know what you're talking about. Crime

0:55:00.440 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 2>is really down. Our stats are telling that. That meant

0:55:03.239 --> 0:55:05.239
<v Speaker 2>that the person who was at the top, which is

0:55:05.280 --> 0:55:08.840
<v Speaker 2>our chief, Chief Fiji, from his perspective, was doing a

0:55:08.880 --> 0:55:12.759
<v Speaker 2>great job. Why would you be terminating her at this

0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 2>time right before an election? Number two, just from a

0:55:16.239 --> 0:55:18.600
<v Speaker 2>humanity perspective, and I just want to say this to

0:55:19.760 --> 0:55:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Chief Fiji, who I hope is listening, and I hope

0:55:23.160 --> 0:55:25.840
<v Speaker 2>that her family that they're listening to Neville family. This

0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:28.640
<v Speaker 2>is a family that has dedicated their life to law

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:33.960
<v Speaker 2>enforcement like like no other family. Almost I'm exaggerating, but

0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:36.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of great It's a wonderful family.

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Christopher. I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I want

0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:42.359
<v Speaker 1>to speak to that too, because you are so so right,

0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:45.880
<v Speaker 1>all of them going back to their father, Gary Neville,

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:48.600
<v Speaker 1>who was a great guy. But anyway, I just wanted

0:55:48.600 --> 0:55:49.719
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that came in.

0:55:49.840 --> 0:55:49.920
<v Speaker 15>No.

0:55:50.080 --> 0:55:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it's important because he's he's crapping

0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:58.320
<v Speaker 2>on a family that's given their life to the city

0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:02.000
<v Speaker 2>right in this area area of law enforcement, and you're

0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:05.680
<v Speaker 2>acting like she's trash. And so what really blows my

0:56:05.800 --> 0:56:10.120
<v Speaker 2>mind is they'd call her back from a chiefs conference,

0:56:10.680 --> 0:56:14.399
<v Speaker 2>meaning she's in Denver at conference. Why wouldn't you wait

0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:18.160
<v Speaker 2>until she got back to have this discussion. You call

0:56:18.200 --> 0:56:20.920
<v Speaker 2>her back like you're the principal and she's being called

0:56:20.920 --> 0:56:23.400
<v Speaker 2>to the principal's office. She's around all of her peers.

0:56:23.640 --> 0:56:27.200
<v Speaker 2>It had to be incredibly embarrassing for her. Why would

0:56:27.239 --> 0:56:29.839
<v Speaker 2>you treat a family that's given so much? And I'm

0:56:30.040 --> 0:56:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna answer that question. It's not rhetorical. It's because

0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:37.120
<v Speaker 2>this mayorage from Dayton. This mayor doesn't understand the Neville family.

0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:40.520
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't understand what he has done. He doesn't understand

0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:43.399
<v Speaker 2>the west side of town. And even if people were

0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:46.799
<v Speaker 2>questioning how the chief was doing the job, they would

0:56:46.960 --> 0:56:49.480
<v Speaker 2>never on the west side want her treated the way

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:52.920
<v Speaker 2>she's being treated. And if he was from Cincinnati, if

0:56:52.920 --> 0:56:56.160
<v Speaker 2>he had gone to a high school in Cincinnati, he

0:56:56.239 --> 0:56:59.960
<v Speaker 2>would understand those details. So this is going to hurt

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:02.640
<v Speaker 2>him in the upcoming election on the west side of town.

0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:05.600
<v Speaker 2>And I want to you know, westsiders are loyal. Again.

0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:08.320
<v Speaker 2>They might have been saying, they might have been saying, hey,

0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:11.759
<v Speaker 2>we're concerned about the direction that the chief was going in,

0:57:12.239 --> 0:57:15.319
<v Speaker 2>but there's no way they want to treated the way

0:57:15.440 --> 0:57:19.640
<v Speaker 2>this mayor and this manager is treating Chief Fiji. At

0:57:19.640 --> 0:57:22.880
<v Speaker 2>our end by saying this, she was only doing what

0:57:22.960 --> 0:57:25.680
<v Speaker 2>she was directed to do by the mayor, by the

0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:29.040
<v Speaker 2>city manager, and by Irish rolling meanings. They have a

0:57:29.040 --> 0:57:32.760
<v Speaker 2>consultant in there that is telling her be soft on crime.

0:57:33.120 --> 0:57:35.880
<v Speaker 2>We're worried about the babies. We got to do the

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:39.560
<v Speaker 2>collaborative agreement as if as if we're under federal oversight,

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and that is in conflict with doing proactive policing, which

0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:46.880
<v Speaker 2>it is not, meaning we have to do proactive policing

0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:51.880
<v Speaker 2>while we're doing community based policing. Unfortunately, they pushed the

0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:55.560
<v Speaker 2>chief into that corner because the manager had the power

0:57:55.640 --> 0:57:58.320
<v Speaker 2>to fire her. Now she's hired one of the most

0:57:58.360 --> 0:58:02.280
<v Speaker 2>prominent attorneys, Chris his law firm. Yes, he is no joke.

0:58:02.560 --> 0:58:04.920
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people do not understand that she is

0:58:04.960 --> 0:58:07.280
<v Speaker 2>going to get paid a lot of money, just like

0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Chief Washington, the fire chief Cool they also fired in

0:58:11.280 --> 0:58:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the most grotesque way.

0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:14.680
<v Speaker 9>Both of these Both of these.

0:58:14.560 --> 0:58:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Stories tell you, in my opinion, Mike Allen, how dysfunctional

0:58:18.720 --> 0:58:21.840
<v Speaker 2>city Hall is that they're not able to manage the

0:58:22.000 --> 0:58:24.080
<v Speaker 2>basic personnel of our city.

0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Yep, you are so right about that, Christopher. I don't

0:58:26.880 --> 0:58:29.600
<v Speaker 1>know if you and I talked about this. There was

0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a thing called City Issue five. I'm thinking it was

0:58:34.360 --> 0:58:39.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty something years ago. What it was before the Issue five,

0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the chief of police had civil service protection and it

0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:46.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a deal where you know, the mayor can pick

0:58:46.640 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>up the phone and say Chief, I want you to

0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:51.080
<v Speaker 1>do this, this and this. Now I know they tried

0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to do that during that time, and the chief just

0:58:53.560 --> 0:58:56.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of said, go to hell. Well, with the passage

0:58:56.920 --> 0:59:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of Issue five, that was gone, and instead of being

0:59:01.440 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a law enforcement official, she becomes a law for law

0:59:06.360 --> 0:59:11.800
<v Speaker 1>enforcement official and a political actor. And I just wonder

0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:17.200
<v Speaker 1>if there'd be any any interest in anyone taking another

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:19.920
<v Speaker 1>look at that and perhaps reversing it, because I'm telling

0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you right now, if that were still in place, that

0:59:23.560 --> 0:59:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the chief had the civil service protection, we wouldn't be

0:59:26.560 --> 0:59:28.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about her getting drummed out.

0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Now. First, Mike Allen, you're right on point, and there

0:59:33.720 --> 0:59:37.280
<v Speaker 2>are great parts to Issue five, So let me say

0:59:37.320 --> 0:59:40.440
<v Speaker 2>that from my perspective, But I think this is a

0:59:40.440 --> 0:59:43.400
<v Speaker 2>great opportunity for us to revisit Issue five, which is

0:59:43.400 --> 0:59:46.800
<v Speaker 2>what I hear you say, because it is personality driven.

0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:48.280
<v Speaker 8>If you get a great mayor.

0:59:48.160 --> 0:59:51.200
<v Speaker 2>In there, like a Charlie Luken or a John Cranley

0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:54.479
<v Speaker 2>as an example, right, and I'm gonna have some fun

0:59:54.520 --> 0:59:58.160
<v Speaker 2>with you like a Christopher Smitherman, You're not gonna have something.

0:59:58.160 --> 1:00:03.440
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna have somebody who's try to undermine law enforcement. Okay, However,

1:00:03.920 --> 1:00:06.760
<v Speaker 2>what I here's the penicillin that I plan to put forward.

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:09.440
<v Speaker 2>So you brought a problem, I'm going to share with you.

1:00:09.480 --> 1:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>What I think the solution is. What I want to

1:00:11.880 --> 1:00:15.680
<v Speaker 2>do is bring a constitutional amendment, Charter amendment to Issue

1:00:15.680 --> 1:00:21.880
<v Speaker 2>five that says the mayor, the city manager cannot terminate

1:00:21.960 --> 1:00:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the police chief or fire chief without seven members of council.

1:00:26.040 --> 1:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So I want I want just the way we treat

1:00:28.440 --> 1:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the city manager. We can't fire the city manager without

1:00:31.680 --> 1:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the consent of the Board of Directors the nine members

1:00:35.040 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>of council. I do not want the city manager to

1:00:37.640 --> 1:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>be able to terminate the fire chief or the police

1:00:40.640 --> 1:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>chief without the consent of seven members of council, which

1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:48.479
<v Speaker 2>will require a charter amendment, which I plan to lead.

1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that will clean it up. I don't think

1:00:51.280 --> 1:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>that this chief right now would not have been called

1:00:53.600 --> 1:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>back a from a Denvers conference. I also would clean

1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>up where we have chief watching. That most likely is

1:01:01.200 --> 1:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>going to cost us one to two to five million dollars.

1:01:06.320 --> 1:01:10.240
<v Speaker 2>That's coming. Chris Finny, his law firm, has warned that lawsuit,

1:01:10.520 --> 1:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>they've worn, the appeal, they've gotten summary judgment. This is

1:01:14.280 --> 1:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>just a matter of time before the public cares about

1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Chief Washington and how they drug his name through the mud,

1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:23.160
<v Speaker 2>just like they're doing. They're trying to do here with

1:01:23.360 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Chief Fiji. I've had my questions about how some of

1:01:27.280 --> 1:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the decisions that Chief Fiji has made, But it doesn't

1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>mean that I don't support her. It doesn't mean that

1:01:33.160 --> 1:01:35.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't like her. If I saw Chief Fiji right now,

1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I give her a big hug, I tell her I

1:01:37.920 --> 1:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>support you. I do not think they've treated her well here,

1:01:41.240 --> 1:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, she's going to get a great

1:01:43.240 --> 1:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>severance because of how they've treated her and having her

1:01:46.440 --> 1:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>come back from Denver. Just anybody out there who's a professional,

1:01:49.920 --> 1:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>think you're at the greatest professional conference of your life.

1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>You're around all your peers, and somebody says nationally through

1:01:56.400 --> 1:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the newspaper, you got to come back to Cincinnati.

1:01:59.160 --> 1:01:59.760
<v Speaker 3>To be fired.

1:02:00.240 --> 1:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>That had to be humiliating for her, and the Neville

1:02:03.480 --> 1:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>family didn't deserve that, Like Allen, and I pray to

1:02:07.840 --> 1:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>God that Westsiders are listening to what I'm saying. I

1:02:10.360 --> 1:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>don't care whether you're a Democrat, you're a Republican, you're

1:02:13.160 --> 1:02:16.160
<v Speaker 2>an independent like me, or you're a charter right. This

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>family didn't deserve it. You don't give thirty forty years

1:02:19.560 --> 1:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>of your life to the city and then have a

1:02:22.120 --> 1:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>city manager and a mayor, particularly a mayor who's not

1:02:25.520 --> 1:02:28.959
<v Speaker 2>even from Cincinnati, come and treat this family like that.

1:02:29.080 --> 1:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, it's just it's horrific to me.

1:02:31.680 --> 1:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>This whole thing sounds like a scapegoating situation where you know,

1:02:36.840 --> 1:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the mayor's well, you know, we didn't get good results

1:02:39.480 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>under this chief, so I spearheaded the effort to get

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>rid of the one we have, and it all falls

1:02:45.880 --> 1:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>on her, and it's just not fair. But anyway, it's

1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>not fair.

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, let's remind the public that our

1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>police department and our fire department is command driven. So

1:02:58.960 --> 1:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>now what they've also done is they've undermined the police

1:03:02.320 --> 1:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>department so bad that police officers, as I have this conversation,

1:03:07.360 --> 1:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know who to take orders from. Yeah, right, because

1:03:10.240 --> 1:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>they've left this vacuum. And this is what this administration

1:03:13.640 --> 1:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>does again. It's like taking out the general. And she's

1:03:16.560 --> 1:03:19.360
<v Speaker 2>still the chief, right, But the reality of it is,

1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>you know that her formal power has been taken from her,

1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and now people are trying to figure out, well, who's

1:03:24.840 --> 1:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>the chief and who do we take orders from? Well,

1:03:26.880 --> 1:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>guess what that puts everybody's life on the line.

1:03:29.120 --> 1:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

1:03:29.480 --> 1:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, and that's what concerns me that this mayor again,

1:03:32.640 --> 1:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>who kept telling his opponent, you don't have what experience?

1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't have experience. He kept saying that, Mike, you

1:03:39.480 --> 1:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>don't have experience. Guess what. I will take common sense

1:03:43.920 --> 1:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>over experience any day. And common sense isn't common.

1:03:47.480 --> 1:03:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I like that. I never heard that one. Hey,

1:03:50.520 --> 1:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>we only have a couple minutes left, Christopher, I just

1:03:53.120 --> 1:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to kind of maybe get a little kind of

1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>closing argument from you on voting in the election, because

1:03:59.040 --> 1:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>early voting is already started.

1:04:02.200 --> 1:04:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm hoping that that our city will think about

1:04:05.520 --> 1:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>not voting for nine people for city council. That's so important.

1:04:09.560 --> 1:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>We have a nine x system. I would only vote

1:04:12.080 --> 1:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>for four or five people in the field that you want.

1:04:14.920 --> 1:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>So there might be twenty five or twenty four, twenty

1:04:17.600 --> 1:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>three candidates that are out here running, Find four or

1:04:20.520 --> 1:04:23.320
<v Speaker 2>five of them you like, and vote for them and stop.

1:04:23.400 --> 1:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>That makes your ballot more powerful. Number two, I would say,

1:04:27.040 --> 1:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>think about all the things that are going on right now,

1:04:29.080 --> 1:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>whether it's whether it's snow removal, potholes, these low level

1:04:32.800 --> 1:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>things that are important to the daily lives, the quality

1:04:35.480 --> 1:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>of life, of all fifty two neighborhoods, whether you're talking

1:04:38.240 --> 1:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>about Hyde Park and the development that went bad there

1:04:41.160 --> 1:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>because council wasn't listening, including the mayor or, this notion

1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:48.200
<v Speaker 2>of connect communities, this legislation of zoning that really undermined

1:04:48.240 --> 1:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>all fifty two neighborhoods. Again, council and the mayor weren't listening.

1:04:51.680 --> 1:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>But crime is the number one issue. We can't do development.

1:04:56.000 --> 1:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>People can't have home values going higher if we don't

1:04:59.680 --> 1:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>feel faith. And what I see right now is a

1:05:02.600 --> 1:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>is a is a council and a mayor who are

1:05:05.480 --> 1:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>more interested in protecting the criminal elements of our society,

1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:14.320
<v Speaker 2>including our judges, not the prosecutors, and not the cops.

1:05:14.320 --> 1:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>The cops are arresting, the prosecutors are trying to prosecute,

1:05:18.080 --> 1:05:20.280
<v Speaker 2>and the judges are letting them out. So there's a

1:05:20.360 --> 1:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>we have a broken system, but we have we have

1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>a body of nine collectively, not individually collectively, and a

1:05:27.640 --> 1:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>mayor who have a bigger emphasis on protecting criminals than

1:05:32.640 --> 1:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>protecting us, the citizens of law by the citizens. And

1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:38.080
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot more of us because the criminals

1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:41.280
<v Speaker 2>are a very very small element. So elect four or

1:05:41.360 --> 1:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>five people Mike Allen, and my conclusion here that will

1:05:44.600 --> 1:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>will that will support the police department and our fire department,

1:05:48.800 --> 1:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>that will not talk about defunding and reimaginating, reimagination of

1:05:53.080 --> 1:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>our law enforcement and people that can get behind and

1:05:55.960 --> 1:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>support our officers. Remember the officer who shot the unarmed,

1:06:00.360 --> 1:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the officer who shocked the young man running from the

1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>vehicle from a stolen vehicle, and then the father killing

1:06:08.200 --> 1:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the sheriff the next day. We still have not heard

1:06:11.280 --> 1:06:14.280
<v Speaker 2>from council or the mayor. I mean, these things are happening,

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and they're undermining the morale of our police department as

1:06:17.120 --> 1:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>they're out here just trying to do their job to

1:06:18.720 --> 1:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>keep us safe. So I'm asking you to vote for Smithlman.

1:06:21.440 --> 1:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Give me one of those four or five votes out

1:06:23.520 --> 1:06:26.520
<v Speaker 2>there public. We can change this together. But don't send

1:06:26.560 --> 1:06:29.040
<v Speaker 2>me there by myself. You know, there's a lisz Keeping

1:06:29.080 --> 1:06:31.520
<v Speaker 2>out there running. There's a lind Of Matthews out there running.

1:06:32.680 --> 1:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>There's a good out there who's running. There's a dree

1:06:36.000 --> 1:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>House out there running. There's a leader Lakeda Cole out there.

1:06:39.400 --> 1:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>They're running. They're Democrats, Republicans, Charter Rights, independence that are

1:06:43.400 --> 1:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>out there running that we can just do better as

1:06:45.600 --> 1:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the city. This is not about who Trump is and

1:06:48.560 --> 1:06:52.400
<v Speaker 2>national politics. This election is about us and our safety.

1:06:52.440 --> 1:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I think people should vote like their lives.

1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey, we're out of time, Christopher. I really appreciate it,

1:06:57.680 --> 1:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and we'll talk to you again soon.

1:07:00.160 --> 1:07:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. People can follow me at vote Smitherman.

1:07:03.040 --> 1:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thanks Roving, all right, thank you. All right. Hey,

1:07:06.280 --> 1:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>we do have to take a break for the news,

1:07:07.960 --> 1:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>but when we get back, we're going to talk about

1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>national politics with independent political analyst Kevin Burton, and we'll

1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>do that when we get back. Mike Allen, seven hundred WLW.

1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>This is Jeff for Tri State Men's Health, where we've

1:07:20.960 --> 1:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>successfully treated thousands of men for News Radio seven hundred WLW.

1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Mike Allen, Saturday midway our three third and final hour. Well,

1:07:35.440 --> 1:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>we talked to local politics with Christopher Smithman. Let's talk

1:07:38.960 --> 1:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>some national politics. What's going on out there, what about

1:07:42.800 --> 1:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the congressional battle in the Supreme Court, Trump's biggest win

1:07:48.720 --> 1:07:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Mideast This week, we're going to talk to

1:07:52.040 --> 1:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Burton, who is an independent political analyst. Kevin, thanks

1:07:56.400 --> 1:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining us this morning.

1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Mike, thanks having me as always my pleasure.

1:08:02.560 --> 1:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Supreme Court and the whole battle over redistricting and

1:08:07.400 --> 1:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>all that. Where do you see that going and how

1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>will it affect the races?

1:08:12.880 --> 1:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Well? First off, congratulations to all.

1:08:14.680 --> 1:08:18.840
<v Speaker 16>Lawyers on their billable hours number one undefeated.

1:08:18.400 --> 1:08:22.479
<v Speaker 3>Always, so congratulations to all.

1:08:22.360 --> 1:08:25.680
<v Speaker 16>The big firms. It does look like they're going to

1:08:25.720 --> 1:08:27.160
<v Speaker 16>strike down section two.

1:08:27.360 --> 1:08:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Of the voting right back.

1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:31.919
<v Speaker 16>So what that means is essentially that you can reshape

1:08:31.960 --> 1:08:37.000
<v Speaker 16>the maps, but be careful for what you wish for

1:08:37.280 --> 1:08:39.599
<v Speaker 16>is my only thing, because it might help you today,

1:08:39.720 --> 1:08:40.200
<v Speaker 16>but it's.

1:08:40.040 --> 1:08:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Going to hurt you tomorrow.

1:08:41.840 --> 1:08:44.719
<v Speaker 16>And a great example of this is straight ballid voting

1:08:45.800 --> 1:08:46.520
<v Speaker 16>in Kentucky.

1:08:47.080 --> 1:08:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Kentucky.

1:08:47.640 --> 1:08:50.639
<v Speaker 16>You know the Democrats many years ago loved straight ballid

1:08:50.720 --> 1:08:54.080
<v Speaker 16>voting tickets. Well, when the tide shifted. Now they can't

1:08:54.080 --> 1:08:57.759
<v Speaker 16>win any elections here. Besides Andy forsheer to be careful

1:08:57.880 --> 1:09:01.280
<v Speaker 16>for what you wish for, in reality it's going to

1:09:01.360 --> 1:09:05.600
<v Speaker 16>gain I really hate both sides because listen, if you

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:07.799
<v Speaker 16>want to do it after the census like it's always

1:09:07.840 --> 1:09:10.560
<v Speaker 16>been done, it's fair, but you can't pick up the

1:09:10.600 --> 1:09:12.400
<v Speaker 16>ball and change the change.

1:09:12.240 --> 1:09:13.479
<v Speaker 3>The rules in the middle of the game.

1:09:13.560 --> 1:09:16.479
<v Speaker 16>And both sides are doing it California, New.

1:09:16.439 --> 1:09:18.000
<v Speaker 3>York, Texas, now the South.

1:09:18.240 --> 1:09:22.200
<v Speaker 16>Like play the game, you can't change it in the

1:09:22.200 --> 1:09:25.679
<v Speaker 16>middle of the game, but they are. Every every side

1:09:25.720 --> 1:09:28.439
<v Speaker 16>is going to So it's going to be really interesting

1:09:28.439 --> 1:09:32.240
<v Speaker 16>because all these congressional maps. Usually at this time, you

1:09:32.600 --> 1:09:36.479
<v Speaker 16>have a pretty good indicator. What's it's called the cook reports.

1:09:36.600 --> 1:09:40.080
<v Speaker 16>People give like plus five plus seven that basically tells

1:09:40.120 --> 1:09:43.479
<v Speaker 16>you in the last presidential election how much they won

1:09:43.560 --> 1:09:46.320
<v Speaker 16>by you start kind of setting up the maps. Well,

1:09:47.360 --> 1:09:50.000
<v Speaker 16>if they throw out the maps and throw all new maps,

1:09:50.040 --> 1:09:52.280
<v Speaker 16>which it looks like almost every state is going to

1:09:52.320 --> 1:09:56.960
<v Speaker 16>do this, for your consultants and for your candidates, it

1:09:57.040 --> 1:09:59.800
<v Speaker 16>changes everything because you don't know what you're running in.

1:10:00.479 --> 1:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>When will they finally know something on that and be

1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>able to intelligently, you know, look at it and make

1:10:06.360 --> 1:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>predictions that'll come down to the wire. I guess what

1:10:09.520 --> 1:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it is too late?

1:10:11.400 --> 1:10:14.240
<v Speaker 16>Well, and that's that's and that is the other question,

1:10:14.400 --> 1:10:17.960
<v Speaker 16>you know. So if the Supreme Court rules sooner than later,

1:10:18.720 --> 1:10:21.320
<v Speaker 16>then it has to go to all the states where

1:10:21.439 --> 1:10:25.760
<v Speaker 16>they have to pass you know, legislation has to pass

1:10:25.800 --> 1:10:30.680
<v Speaker 16>new maps. So I mean it's going to come down

1:10:30.680 --> 1:10:33.920
<v Speaker 16>to the wire. But Let's be real. The only time

1:10:34.920 --> 1:10:37.439
<v Speaker 16>either side really cares is when it affects them. So

1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:41.760
<v Speaker 16>they'll get it done both sides in California and New York, Texas.

1:10:42.240 --> 1:10:43.920
<v Speaker 3>They'll get it done well.

1:10:44.560 --> 1:10:48.560
<v Speaker 16>But it just changes everything from fundraising, sure, the strategy

1:10:48.600 --> 1:10:50.920
<v Speaker 16>because you don't know how they're going to cut it. Listen,

1:10:51.360 --> 1:10:53.120
<v Speaker 16>kerry Mandering has always been a part of the game,

1:10:53.920 --> 1:10:57.920
<v Speaker 16>but it's always after the census. You know, you can't

1:10:57.920 --> 1:10:59.600
<v Speaker 16>pick up your ball and run when you don't like

1:10:59.600 --> 1:11:01.639
<v Speaker 16>the rules. You got to play by them.

1:11:01.800 --> 1:11:04.599
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I couldn't agree with you more. It would

1:11:04.640 --> 1:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>be nice if we could find some kind of vehicle

1:11:08.400 --> 1:11:11.479
<v Speaker 1>where both sides are happy and we don't have to

1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>go through this nonsense every ten years. But I don't

1:11:15.040 --> 1:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>know what that would be, and I'm not optimistic and

1:11:18.560 --> 1:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>anybody will figure it out.

1:11:20.680 --> 1:11:22.680
<v Speaker 16>No, And what I'm also worried about is the long

1:11:22.760 --> 1:11:25.840
<v Speaker 16>term effects, because now you've kind of set precedents that

1:11:25.880 --> 1:11:29.320
<v Speaker 16>you can just change it whenever you feel like, and the.

1:11:29.400 --> 1:11:32.640
<v Speaker 3>House that is going to become almost more and more.

1:11:34.520 --> 1:11:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you know.

1:11:35.960 --> 1:11:40.960
<v Speaker 16>The great thing is is when you have someone from

1:11:41.320 --> 1:11:43.720
<v Speaker 16>a red state or a blue state who's the opposite

1:11:43.760 --> 1:11:46.240
<v Speaker 16>party because it gives you know, it shows you, hey,

1:11:46.280 --> 1:11:51.559
<v Speaker 16>the state is not monolithic. But when with all these changes,

1:11:51.600 --> 1:11:55.280
<v Speaker 16>you're going to have, you know, all states be blue,

1:11:55.360 --> 1:11:58.120
<v Speaker 16>all states be red, and you're going to lose the

1:11:58.160 --> 1:12:02.400
<v Speaker 16>common sense voter, the common since congress person, and we

1:12:02.520 --> 1:12:03.880
<v Speaker 16>need them now more than ever.

1:12:04.400 --> 1:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this, I mean, kind of duvetailing

1:12:06.840 --> 1:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>off that conversation, would you care to venture or make

1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>any guests on the midterm congressional elections. Republicans going to

1:12:16.320 --> 1:12:18.599
<v Speaker 1>keep the House? Are they going to lose it? And again,

1:12:18.720 --> 1:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>having said that, knowing that the habit is in the

1:12:23.520 --> 1:12:27.799
<v Speaker 1>history is the party in power in the President's office,

1:12:27.880 --> 1:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>in the White House always loses.

1:12:30.120 --> 1:12:34.200
<v Speaker 16>What do you think generally, yes, they do lose twenty

1:12:34.200 --> 1:12:37.880
<v Speaker 16>four to twenty five seats. But if you're rearranging the

1:12:37.920 --> 1:12:40.639
<v Speaker 16>whole order, I can't make a production because I don't

1:12:40.680 --> 1:12:43.400
<v Speaker 16>know if California, when they pass it, are they going

1:12:43.439 --> 1:12:47.559
<v Speaker 16>to make every single seat a solid blue? So you know,

1:12:48.120 --> 1:12:50.599
<v Speaker 16>it can't give a prediction right now.

1:12:50.760 --> 1:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I get it. I get it. Well, it'll make

1:12:53.240 --> 1:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>election night interesting, I guess. Let me ask you, We're

1:12:57.120 --> 1:12:59.599
<v Speaker 1>still I don't know what day it is. Somebody's keeping

1:12:59.680 --> 1:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>count maybe day ten, twelve whatever of the government shut down.

1:13:04.240 --> 1:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's another one, Kevin, You would think that they

1:13:07.880 --> 1:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>would be able to find a way to not make

1:13:10.800 --> 1:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this just so crappy like it is. Now, my question

1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to you is who's winning and well, we all, I think,

1:13:18.840 --> 1:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>are losing on it. But what party is winning on

1:13:21.439 --> 1:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that issue? What party is losing and why?

1:13:25.720 --> 1:13:28.400
<v Speaker 3>So that's a very interesting thing. So this is the first.

1:13:28.200 --> 1:13:30.639
<v Speaker 16>Time that we've had a government shut down where all

1:13:30.680 --> 1:13:33.960
<v Speaker 16>three you know, the House, the Senate, and the President

1:13:34.040 --> 1:13:36.720
<v Speaker 16>are all the same. But there was a memo from

1:13:36.760 --> 1:13:43.320
<v Speaker 16>the White House that came out yesterday that's showing that, yes,

1:13:43.520 --> 1:13:48.599
<v Speaker 16>Republicans are still being blamed for the you know, the shutdown,

1:13:48.640 --> 1:13:52.200
<v Speaker 16>but now it's forty four percent to thirty eight percent,

1:13:52.520 --> 1:13:56.519
<v Speaker 16>where you know, Democrats have had their net favorabilities cut

1:13:56.800 --> 1:14:00.559
<v Speaker 16>by seventy eight points. So you know, Romp and his

1:14:00.680 --> 1:14:04.280
<v Speaker 16>team are thinking that if they just keep prolonging.

1:14:03.640 --> 1:14:06.800
<v Speaker 6>This, that the Democrats are going to it's going to get.

1:14:06.680 --> 1:14:09.320
<v Speaker 16>To a break even. And if it's a break even,

1:14:09.479 --> 1:14:12.280
<v Speaker 16>then that's a win for the Republicans because you know,

1:14:13.240 --> 1:14:17.839
<v Speaker 16>this is always about that seven, eight, ten, twelve points,

1:14:17.880 --> 1:14:20.639
<v Speaker 16>And I know, people get tired of polling and all that,

1:14:21.080 --> 1:14:23.880
<v Speaker 16>but that's seven to twelve.

1:14:23.560 --> 1:14:24.559
<v Speaker 3>Points, whatever it is.

1:14:24.600 --> 1:14:27.400
<v Speaker 16>Those are the people who swing elections, and that's who

1:14:27.680 --> 1:14:30.360
<v Speaker 16>you're fighting for right now, if you're trying to fly

1:14:30.479 --> 1:14:33.280
<v Speaker 16>right now. I know TSA is a nightmare, so we'll

1:14:33.320 --> 1:14:36.760
<v Speaker 16>probably change who you would vote for. But you know,

1:14:36.840 --> 1:14:39.200
<v Speaker 16>the government shut down. I mean, I think there's certain

1:14:39.240 --> 1:14:41.439
<v Speaker 16>things that I wish that both sides could be adults

1:14:41.479 --> 1:14:44.840
<v Speaker 16>and be like, you know, we need TSA. We don't

1:14:44.880 --> 1:14:48.840
<v Speaker 16>want another tragedy to happen. But that would require them

1:14:48.840 --> 1:14:50.519
<v Speaker 16>to be grown ups, and they're not going to do it.

1:14:50.680 --> 1:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>That ain't going to happen. I'm looking here at the

1:14:54.120 --> 1:15:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Real Clear Politics average of polls. Democratic party favorability unfavorable,

1:15:01.439 --> 1:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty six no way mate favorability is thirty three percent

1:15:07.400 --> 1:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty three six percent favorable, fifty nine point eight percent unfavorable.

1:15:14.320 --> 1:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen numbers uh that low for a

1:15:18.160 --> 1:15:19.599
<v Speaker 1>political party with.

1:15:19.600 --> 1:15:23.120
<v Speaker 16>A question such as this, I mean, I guess the

1:15:23.120 --> 1:15:27.000
<v Speaker 16>only other time you could probably say this was daring

1:15:27.320 --> 1:15:30.920
<v Speaker 16>uh W in the House in Crisis of two thousand

1:15:31.000 --> 1:15:37.040
<v Speaker 16>and eight. You know, Democrats, and we've talked about this

1:15:37.080 --> 1:15:40.799
<v Speaker 16>before in your show. They are just so aimless because

1:15:41.320 --> 1:15:45.679
<v Speaker 16>they built their whole party on this guy sucks vote

1:15:45.680 --> 1:15:49.720
<v Speaker 16>for me instead of what do you stand for? You know,

1:15:50.439 --> 1:15:53.760
<v Speaker 16>Mindannie AOC may not like their politics, but you know

1:15:53.800 --> 1:15:57.280
<v Speaker 16>what they stand for, and that's what voters want now.

1:15:57.320 --> 1:16:00.400
<v Speaker 16>They want authenticity, even if they disagree with you. They

1:16:00.400 --> 1:16:03.280
<v Speaker 16>want someone who's authentic, and Trump has brought that to politics.

1:16:03.280 --> 1:16:06.880
<v Speaker 16>And frankly, you know, they're kind of going through what

1:16:07.080 --> 1:16:10.080
<v Speaker 16>Republicans went through a decade ago. You have Chuck Schumer,

1:16:10.479 --> 1:16:14.280
<v Speaker 16>who was so clueless, out of touch leading the party,

1:16:14.479 --> 1:16:18.439
<v Speaker 16>and you know, you're kind of seeing this wave that

1:16:18.920 --> 1:16:21.600
<v Speaker 16>it's coming, regardless if they wanted or not, but the

1:16:21.720 --> 1:16:25.160
<v Speaker 16>establishment is going to be pushed out. I mean, you know,

1:16:25.360 --> 1:16:29.519
<v Speaker 16>no prime example that's better in Maine, where there's this upstart.

1:16:30.479 --> 1:16:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Planter guy who's a oyster person who's.

1:16:33.000 --> 1:16:36.080
<v Speaker 16>You know, gone really viral, and who do they get

1:16:36.280 --> 1:16:40.080
<v Speaker 16>a seventy seven year old governor to run in a

1:16:40.080 --> 1:16:45.160
<v Speaker 16>primary against him? You know, Democrats are just literally doing

1:16:45.200 --> 1:16:48.840
<v Speaker 16>exactly what Republicans did before twenty sixteen, and it's a

1:16:48.880 --> 1:16:51.799
<v Speaker 16>battle for essentially the soul of the party. And frankly,

1:16:52.120 --> 1:16:55.080
<v Speaker 16>it's kind of like bonding them out for an NBA team.

1:16:55.160 --> 1:16:59.760
<v Speaker 16>They need to tank, clean house and then bring someone

1:16:59.800 --> 1:17:02.000
<v Speaker 16>else then because their favorabilities are terrible.

1:17:02.160 --> 1:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I hear you, Hey, I wanted to ask you

1:17:04.400 --> 1:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>this to Trump's big win earlier in the week at

1:17:07.200 --> 1:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the Mid East peace deal. In my humble opinion, whether

1:17:10.280 --> 1:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you like the man or not, a huge deal and

1:17:14.479 --> 1:17:17.360
<v Speaker 1>getting political about it something that in my opinion, I

1:17:17.360 --> 1:17:19.439
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of others, there is no way on

1:17:19.560 --> 1:17:23.040
<v Speaker 1>God's green earth Joe Biden or Kamala Harris could have

1:17:23.080 --> 1:17:26.639
<v Speaker 1>pulled that off. But my question is how does that

1:17:26.720 --> 1:17:30.519
<v Speaker 1>and it's personal to Trump, but how does that affect

1:17:31.000 --> 1:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that the favorability of the party's potentially affect the midterms?

1:17:37.240 --> 1:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing not a lot. How does it affect a

1:17:39.760 --> 1:17:41.679
<v Speaker 1>political climate? I guess is the question?

1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:44.880
<v Speaker 16>Well, yeah, there's a lot of So. First off, you know,

1:17:44.960 --> 1:17:47.800
<v Speaker 16>Joe Biden and them did have a proposal ten months ago.

1:17:48.640 --> 1:17:50.720
<v Speaker 16>It was very similar to this. It didn't go anywhere,

1:17:50.960 --> 1:17:53.519
<v Speaker 16>but Trump did get it through, and regardless of what

1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:54.599
<v Speaker 16>you think of him, this.

1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:56.559
<v Speaker 3>Is his biggest win. Sure it is.

1:17:57.200 --> 1:18:00.559
<v Speaker 16>Now the question is will this actually hold? That is

1:18:00.640 --> 1:18:04.919
<v Speaker 16>a question that is beyond every single person no one knows,

1:18:05.200 --> 1:18:08.080
<v Speaker 16>but it is a major win. I mean, regardless of

1:18:08.080 --> 1:18:10.840
<v Speaker 16>what you think of him, you know, I know he's

1:18:10.880 --> 1:18:14.200
<v Speaker 16>been campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize. It's not a

1:18:14.280 --> 1:18:16.160
<v Speaker 16>kid's trophy at a soccer team.

1:18:16.720 --> 1:18:17.400
<v Speaker 3>But if this.

1:18:17.479 --> 1:18:20.360
<v Speaker 16>Holds, he should get it next year. He should if

1:18:20.760 --> 1:18:23.360
<v Speaker 16>if there are no more deaths, he should get the

1:18:23.360 --> 1:18:25.040
<v Speaker 16>Nobel Peace Prize period.

1:18:25.400 --> 1:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even think about that. I know he didn't

1:18:27.160 --> 1:18:29.360
<v Speaker 1>get it this year, but the person who did get

1:18:29.400 --> 1:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it was from a South American country who she dedicated

1:18:33.920 --> 1:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it to Trump, So I don't know.

1:18:37.720 --> 1:18:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Exactly.

1:18:38.479 --> 1:18:43.680
<v Speaker 16>Like, listen, if this holds there's no more killing, yes, like,

1:18:44.200 --> 1:18:46.080
<v Speaker 16>regardless of what you think of him. And it's really

1:18:46.120 --> 1:18:50.000
<v Speaker 16>ironic that his term this time, his foreign policy is

1:18:50.040 --> 1:18:53.200
<v Speaker 16>actually viewed higher than his economic policy. Why it's the

1:18:53.200 --> 1:18:57.960
<v Speaker 16>complete inverse of his first term. His domestic policies are

1:18:58.000 --> 1:19:01.920
<v Speaker 16>actually underwater. Why his you know, foreign policy is actually

1:19:02.040 --> 1:19:05.479
<v Speaker 16>viewed people are very helped, you know, very happy with it.

1:19:05.760 --> 1:19:08.719
<v Speaker 16>Instead of Teddy Roosevelt, you know, walks off to carry

1:19:08.720 --> 1:19:12.479
<v Speaker 16>a big stick. Trump is chewing gum, yelling and carrying

1:19:12.520 --> 1:19:13.240
<v Speaker 16>a big stick.

1:19:14.479 --> 1:19:17.880
<v Speaker 6>He's getting it done. But I understand what you're saying

1:19:17.920 --> 1:19:20.240
<v Speaker 6>there is there is a peace policy. Regardless of what

1:19:20.320 --> 1:19:22.760
<v Speaker 6>you think of him, the peace policy is there. He

1:19:22.880 --> 1:19:27.760
<v Speaker 6>got NATO to spend five percent. He's helping Ukraine. So

1:19:28.040 --> 1:19:31.880
<v Speaker 6>like all the complaints of his foreign policy, like you

1:19:31.960 --> 1:19:33.559
<v Speaker 6>might not like the way it's done, but you gotta

1:19:33.560 --> 1:19:34.120
<v Speaker 6>tip the cap.

1:19:34.360 --> 1:19:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Yep, no question done. Hey, I gotta ask if Shared

1:19:37.600 --> 1:19:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Brown versus Vivek Ramaswami, I couldn't find any polling on that.

1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I gotta think Vivek is quite a bit ahead your

1:19:45.960 --> 1:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that to share and have any chance at

1:19:48.640 --> 1:19:49.679
<v Speaker 1>all pulling that off.

1:19:50.680 --> 1:19:54.880
<v Speaker 16>Well, Shared's running for Senate. That's not against not against

1:19:54.920 --> 1:20:01.280
<v Speaker 16>the back, you know, share it against heus said it

1:20:01.280 --> 1:20:05.800
<v Speaker 16>will be very interesting two three or politicians. So what

1:20:05.880 --> 1:20:08.519
<v Speaker 16>Bernie Marino was really able to do the last time

1:20:08.640 --> 1:20:13.040
<v Speaker 16>was basically say share it. You've been a career politician

1:20:13.120 --> 1:20:15.960
<v Speaker 16>your whole life. Well, John Heathstaid's the exact same thing.

1:20:16.520 --> 1:20:19.719
<v Speaker 16>So you're gonna take away that kind of key element.

1:20:19.760 --> 1:20:24.280
<v Speaker 16>So it's gonna be a dog fight for back. I mean,

1:20:24.920 --> 1:20:26.040
<v Speaker 16>he's walking into.

1:20:25.800 --> 1:20:26.759
<v Speaker 3>The governor's office.

1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:28.599
<v Speaker 16>There's not really much debate about that.

1:20:28.720 --> 1:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Does it look like the Democratic candidate is going to

1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:34.400
<v Speaker 1>be Amy acting, so.

1:20:34.520 --> 1:20:38.599
<v Speaker 16>There, you know, so Amy props to her her team.

1:20:38.760 --> 1:20:40.280
<v Speaker 3>They've been working very very hard.

1:20:41.479 --> 1:20:44.839
<v Speaker 16>Tim Ryan, who has ran I don't know how many times,

1:20:45.280 --> 1:20:47.720
<v Speaker 16>is looking like he might jump back in, which it's

1:20:47.920 --> 1:20:51.120
<v Speaker 16>kind of a perfect encapsulation of the Democratic Party right

1:20:51.160 --> 1:20:54.200
<v Speaker 16>now that you have someone who's a fresh blood new

1:20:54.240 --> 1:20:56.760
<v Speaker 16>in that and then someone oldys jumping back in.

1:20:57.120 --> 1:21:00.559
<v Speaker 3>Right, it's an uphill battle.

1:21:00.840 --> 1:21:04.120
<v Speaker 16>I mean, besides, Ted Strickland went with the last time

1:21:05.640 --> 1:21:14.560
<v Speaker 16>Ohio elected a Democratic governor I think.

1:21:11.920 --> 1:21:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Which was before my time.

1:21:13.280 --> 1:21:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I know.

1:21:15.400 --> 1:21:18.200
<v Speaker 3>So, And you know, it's just interesting because.

1:21:17.960 --> 1:21:21.840
<v Speaker 16>Governors races, voters vote different, and like you look at

1:21:21.840 --> 1:21:25.280
<v Speaker 16>a state like Kentucky where they've only had three Republican

1:21:25.360 --> 1:21:31.559
<v Speaker 16>governors since World War Two, governor races are different. So

1:21:31.960 --> 1:21:35.160
<v Speaker 16>you know that's gonna win. But on the Senate race,

1:21:35.240 --> 1:21:37.639
<v Speaker 16>it's gonna be I would say, he said, the little

1:21:37.640 --> 1:21:41.400
<v Speaker 16>favorability is more favorite to win because of the state's

1:21:41.400 --> 1:21:44.840
<v Speaker 16>demographic Sure, but it is a midterm year and Sherry Brown,

1:21:45.040 --> 1:21:48.559
<v Speaker 16>you know what is he like seventeen and one running

1:21:48.640 --> 1:21:50.280
<v Speaker 16>elections something like that, So.

1:21:50.200 --> 1:21:52.280
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be a yeah, it's gonna be a dogfight.

1:21:52.960 --> 1:21:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this. We've got a couple of questions,

1:21:54.920 --> 1:21:59.759
<v Speaker 1>laffed city council election day coming up, lots of things

1:21:59.800 --> 1:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>going on the city, mostly with respect to crime. I

1:22:03.320 --> 1:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know about you, but I kind of think this

1:22:05.280 --> 1:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is a year that perhaps strong independence like a Christopher

1:22:10.320 --> 1:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Smithman or you know, uh, someone else who's out there

1:22:15.240 --> 1:22:18.759
<v Speaker 1>working that hard and you know, everything on the table.

1:22:18.840 --> 1:22:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Christopher's a friend, but do you think that he's got

1:22:22.680 --> 1:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a shot at punching through? And about the mayor's race,

1:22:27.360 --> 1:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is is the mayor pure of all gonna

1:22:29.760 --> 1:22:30.320
<v Speaker 1>win that thing?

1:22:31.920 --> 1:22:35.160
<v Speaker 16>Yes, Thatshab's gonna win. Last regard, he's gonna win by

1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:38.439
<v Speaker 16>fifteen twenty points. The numbers are what the numbers are.

1:22:38.800 --> 1:22:41.960
<v Speaker 16>I mean, you guys got to remember that Harris won

1:22:42.000 --> 1:22:46.960
<v Speaker 16>the city of Cincinnati basically sixty five to thirty five.

1:22:47.040 --> 1:22:54.720
<v Speaker 16>So there's only like twenty five percent registered like Republicans,

1:22:54.720 --> 1:22:56.920
<v Speaker 16>and so all the Republicans who used to live in

1:22:56.960 --> 1:23:00.280
<v Speaker 16>Cincinnati has moved to either northern Kentucky or the subs,

1:23:00.280 --> 1:23:02.640
<v Speaker 16>which has made those areas rider, but has made the

1:23:02.640 --> 1:23:05.000
<v Speaker 16>city bluer now.

1:23:05.120 --> 1:23:07.080
<v Speaker 3>To Smitherman's point.

1:23:06.880 --> 1:23:09.360
<v Speaker 16>Smother Man has a track record in the Trump era

1:23:09.479 --> 1:23:13.880
<v Speaker 16>of being the only candidate to punch through the blue

1:23:13.920 --> 1:23:18.680
<v Speaker 16>wall right in twenty seventeen. One thing that Democrats have

1:23:18.720 --> 1:23:20.600
<v Speaker 16>to kind of worry about is there's lots of like

1:23:20.960 --> 1:23:23.960
<v Speaker 16>legacy names running this time, right. So you have a

1:23:24.040 --> 1:23:27.240
<v Speaker 16>smither Man, you have a Keyting, you have a dree House,

1:23:27.640 --> 1:23:31.040
<v Speaker 16>you have a Mallory running right. So when people go

1:23:31.160 --> 1:23:32.960
<v Speaker 16>to vote, they're going to see those names.

1:23:33.320 --> 1:23:34.840
<v Speaker 3>And it's not that.

1:23:36.479 --> 1:23:38.559
<v Speaker 16>They're not going to vote for all Democrats, but they're

1:23:38.560 --> 1:23:40.479
<v Speaker 16>going to see those legacy names and be like, well,

1:23:40.960 --> 1:23:42.000
<v Speaker 16>these are some Democrats.

1:23:42.000 --> 1:23:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I want to vote for them and not be endorsed.

1:23:46.920 --> 1:23:49.880
<v Speaker 16>So I think it's very possible and probably probable that

1:23:50.000 --> 1:23:53.519
<v Speaker 16>you're going to see seven to eight Democrats of the

1:23:53.520 --> 1:23:57.200
<v Speaker 16>Hamilton County Democratic Party, people who are already on council

1:23:57.840 --> 1:23:58.800
<v Speaker 16>get re elected.

1:23:58.880 --> 1:24:00.240
<v Speaker 3>But I think smither And.

1:24:00.520 --> 1:24:03.160
<v Speaker 16>If I was a betting man, I think some other

1:24:03.200 --> 1:24:06.439
<v Speaker 16>men's going to pull through. I think the Keating is

1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:08.599
<v Speaker 16>going to be very fascinating. She's the one who I'm

1:24:08.600 --> 1:24:09.920
<v Speaker 16>going to watch a lot, because you know, she.

1:24:10.000 --> 1:24:12.599
<v Speaker 3>Finished just outside the bubble a light time.

1:24:15.120 --> 1:24:17.800
<v Speaker 16>But it'll be really you know, the machines that are

1:24:17.840 --> 1:24:20.679
<v Speaker 16>in play, they do a really good job of turning

1:24:20.720 --> 1:24:25.600
<v Speaker 16>out their voters. And for a city election, it's so

1:24:25.880 --> 1:24:29.800
<v Speaker 16>low of a turnout it just is well, I guess

1:24:29.800 --> 1:24:31.840
<v Speaker 16>you want to look at like fifteen percent.

1:24:31.640 --> 1:24:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Sure bottom line as we shall see. Kevin, hope we

1:24:34.680 --> 1:24:37.320
<v Speaker 1>can call on you before the election. That really appreciates

1:24:37.360 --> 1:24:38.839
<v Speaker 1>you spending time with us.

1:24:39.600 --> 1:24:40.719
<v Speaker 3>Mike, thank you as always.

1:24:40.880 --> 1:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, my friend, thank you all right. That is independent

1:24:44.760 --> 1:24:49.360
<v Speaker 1>political analyst Kevin Burton, always good to get his thoughts

1:24:49.400 --> 1:24:53.080
<v Speaker 1>on things. Hey, the next segment here from eleven thirty

1:24:53.120 --> 1:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to noon, no guests. So lines are ope and seven

1:24:56.120 --> 1:24:59.720
<v Speaker 1>four nine seven. The big one are the numbers. If

1:24:59.760 --> 1:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a part of.

1:25:00.840 --> 1:25:09.200
<v Speaker 3>It, visualization your wallet, stuff to the bridge.

1:25:10.160 --> 1:25:12.400
<v Speaker 1>We got some people want to be heard. I'm gonna

1:25:12.439 --> 1:25:15.400
<v Speaker 1>get to that in a second. But I have to

1:25:15.520 --> 1:25:20.519
<v Speaker 1>mention this last night and I didn't watch the game.

1:25:20.680 --> 1:25:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought about it. Dodgers versus Brewers. Winner goes to

1:25:24.600 --> 1:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the World Series, loser goes home. The Dodgers won. That's

1:25:29.439 --> 1:25:34.720
<v Speaker 1>not the big deal. Show. Hey, O'tani put on a

1:25:34.800 --> 1:25:38.559
<v Speaker 1>show that I don't think baseball has ever seen before. Well,

1:25:38.560 --> 1:25:41.640
<v Speaker 1>he actually did set a record. I don't know that

1:25:41.680 --> 1:25:45.080
<v Speaker 1>they'll ever see it again. Of course, he goes both ways.

1:25:46.080 --> 1:25:51.240
<v Speaker 1>He pitches, and he bats three home runs, and then

1:25:51.479 --> 1:25:55.920
<v Speaker 1>his pitching, he goes six innings, gives up two hits,

1:25:56.240 --> 1:26:00.880
<v Speaker 1>gets ten strikeouts. So, like I said, Dodgers go to

1:26:00.960 --> 1:26:05.040
<v Speaker 1>the World Series, the Brewers go home. I'm telling you,

1:26:06.120 --> 1:26:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I like baseball and I follow it. If anyone would

1:26:09.000 --> 1:26:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have ever asked me before Otani if they thought somebody

1:26:13.360 --> 1:26:16.439
<v Speaker 1>could pull that off, I'd say, you're crazy, you know,

1:26:16.600 --> 1:26:19.320
<v Speaker 1>just for the heck of it too, Babe. Ruth pitched

1:26:19.320 --> 1:26:23.040
<v Speaker 1>for I don't know, probably about four years, beginning his

1:26:23.080 --> 1:26:26.639
<v Speaker 1>baseball career with the Red Sox. Of course, he got

1:26:26.680 --> 1:26:29.880
<v Speaker 1>traded to the Yankees. I just looked just to see

1:26:29.920 --> 1:26:34.400
<v Speaker 1>if there be anything even close to that. He had

1:26:34.479 --> 1:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a ninety four and ninety four wins forty two losses

1:26:39.040 --> 1:26:43.519
<v Speaker 1>record pitching. But when he got to the Yankees, maybe

1:26:43.560 --> 1:26:46.520
<v Speaker 1>he'd pitch once or twice a year. But my goodness,

1:26:46.880 --> 1:26:51.640
<v Speaker 1>what Otani did last night, I really so much wish

1:26:51.880 --> 1:26:54.599
<v Speaker 1>I would have watched that, because that would have been exciting.

1:26:55.000 --> 1:26:57.080
<v Speaker 1>He's in a class all of his own. I mean,

1:26:57.479 --> 1:27:00.439
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I don't think anybody would have thought

1:27:00.600 --> 1:27:04.639
<v Speaker 1>that would have happened. Okay, let's get back to the phones.

1:27:04.680 --> 1:27:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Let me talked to Tim in Florence. Hey, good morning, Tim.

1:27:10.200 --> 1:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, I'm good.

1:27:11.360 --> 1:27:14.080
<v Speaker 12>What you got Well, I just want to bring up

1:27:14.120 --> 1:27:16.600
<v Speaker 12>one issue we discussed before about Kruse chefs sit in

1:27:16.600 --> 1:27:18.559
<v Speaker 12>and take the country over and never fire a shot

1:27:18.840 --> 1:27:21.479
<v Speaker 12>because it strive from with him. Yes, which that's pretty

1:27:21.560 --> 1:27:23.000
<v Speaker 12>much what we have today, isn't it.

1:27:23.520 --> 1:27:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what I mean. I'd have to say

1:27:27.880 --> 1:27:29.559
<v Speaker 1>a very good chance of it.

1:27:31.600 --> 1:27:34.000
<v Speaker 12>Because I have one other point he wanted to make. Yeah,

1:27:34.120 --> 1:27:37.920
<v Speaker 12>Liberals or Democrats are like hostridges. They stick their head

1:27:37.920 --> 1:27:40.840
<v Speaker 12>in the sand, sort of oblivissed everything around them, and

1:27:40.880 --> 1:27:43.240
<v Speaker 12>then our party puts it for the sundone shot on them,

1:27:43.240 --> 1:27:44.240
<v Speaker 12>if you know what I mean.

1:27:44.880 --> 1:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I do, Tim. I appreciate the call. Thank you, have

1:27:48.880 --> 1:27:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a great day, you too. Thanks. You know his point

1:27:52.240 --> 1:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>about and I didn't know that. Yeah, Kruse chefs said it. Uh,

1:27:56.600 --> 1:27:58.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're going to take you over without firing

1:27:58.520 --> 1:28:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a shot. I well, the Soviet Union's not going to

1:28:01.720 --> 1:28:04.920
<v Speaker 1>take us over. They're out the program, they're gone. But

1:28:05.560 --> 1:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the left, I mean the strides that they've made, the

1:28:09.720 --> 1:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>advances they've made in the entertainment industry in social media.

1:28:14.680 --> 1:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Then of course that the sewer, the cesspool that is

1:28:18.720 --> 1:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>today's modern college campus. You got to wonder if some

1:28:24.040 --> 1:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of that might be playing out at some point. Okay,

1:28:27.240 --> 1:28:29.519
<v Speaker 1>who's been on the longest. Let me talk to Louise

1:28:29.600 --> 1:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and Marie mont. Hey, good morning, Louis.

1:28:32.479 --> 1:28:36.840
<v Speaker 15>Hi Mike, Louise here again. Yes, I just want to

1:28:36.840 --> 1:28:40.080
<v Speaker 15>touch on several points of the maid during this program.

1:28:40.360 --> 1:28:43.760
<v Speaker 15>First of all, Mike, I was always perplexed during the

1:28:43.760 --> 1:28:46.920
<v Speaker 15>past few years about why all of a sudden our

1:28:47.000 --> 1:28:50.600
<v Speaker 15>country is anti israel I mean, and then when you

1:28:50.640 --> 1:28:53.559
<v Speaker 15>see the pulling from New York that even the Jewish

1:28:53.600 --> 1:28:56.760
<v Speaker 15>people are going to vote for this guy up there.

1:28:56.800 --> 1:28:58.760
<v Speaker 15>I don't even want to say his name, right, So

1:28:59.360 --> 1:29:01.400
<v Speaker 15>it hit me, Mike, It finally hit me.

1:29:01.880 --> 1:29:03.000
<v Speaker 1>The change is.

1:29:02.920 --> 1:29:10.559
<v Speaker 15>Because Trump derangement syndrome. If Trump was pro Muslim, they

1:29:10.600 --> 1:29:13.760
<v Speaker 15>would be on the reverse side. Oh yeah, you know,

1:29:13.800 --> 1:29:17.000
<v Speaker 15>the Jewish people have always been held in high esteem

1:29:17.520 --> 1:29:22.160
<v Speaker 15>and finance in Hollywood everywhere, and now the tide has changed,

1:29:22.560 --> 1:29:26.919
<v Speaker 15>and that I believe it's now because of Trump's position

1:29:27.400 --> 1:29:32.360
<v Speaker 15>of being pro Israeli and then these college campus Mike,

1:29:32.680 --> 1:29:35.280
<v Speaker 15>first of all, these are paid people. I mean I

1:29:35.320 --> 1:29:38.160
<v Speaker 15>confront an Antifa years ago before I even knew what

1:29:38.240 --> 1:29:41.520
<v Speaker 15>they were down the Fountain Square. They are all these college,

1:29:41.800 --> 1:29:45.240
<v Speaker 15>good looking kids that are paid. I confront of them,

1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:48.280
<v Speaker 15>I made a lift of the mask up. It's all

1:29:48.320 --> 1:29:51.600
<v Speaker 15>about Trump. They're the opposite of Trump. And when it

1:29:51.680 --> 1:29:54.400
<v Speaker 15>hit me this week is when that idiot George Clooney

1:29:54.720 --> 1:29:59.120
<v Speaker 15>and his most Lebanese wife decided to leave the country.

1:29:59.160 --> 1:30:04.000
<v Speaker 15>Amen on that she's a Muslim and what bothers me here, Mike,

1:30:04.160 --> 1:30:06.000
<v Speaker 15>and I don't want to sound like approved. I am

1:30:06.040 --> 1:30:09.960
<v Speaker 15>an old lady the Muslims. If these people are really

1:30:10.040 --> 1:30:14.040
<v Speaker 15>pro Muslim, why are they all dressing like I don't

1:30:14.080 --> 1:30:15.600
<v Speaker 15>know if I could say hook on the line, but

1:30:15.640 --> 1:30:20.160
<v Speaker 15>I am the women dress them modestly, including George Clooney's wife,

1:30:20.200 --> 1:30:23.639
<v Speaker 15>who herself is a Muslim. So if they truly believe

1:30:24.160 --> 1:30:28.519
<v Speaker 15>and what they're supposedly saying they believe, they be modestly dressed.

1:30:28.560 --> 1:30:30.519
<v Speaker 15>I'm not saying they have to wear the whole garb,

1:30:30.880 --> 1:30:35.120
<v Speaker 15>but they wouldn't be dressed so immodestly when they're protesting.

1:30:35.360 --> 1:30:37.599
<v Speaker 1>No, I hear you, hey, Louise, I got a lot

1:30:37.600 --> 1:30:40.599
<v Speaker 1>of calls. I'm gonna respond to your call, but I

1:30:40.640 --> 1:30:43.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you calling. Thank you, all right, you know what

1:30:44.320 --> 1:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean. She hit the nail on the head there.

1:30:47.080 --> 1:30:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I do not I've said this a million times on

1:30:49.439 --> 1:30:54.960
<v Speaker 1>this show. I do not understand the rise in anti Semitism.

1:30:55.320 --> 1:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand how it's happening, why it's happening, but it

1:30:59.360 --> 1:31:03.080
<v Speaker 1>is something that in my lifetime, and yeah, we learned,

1:31:03.439 --> 1:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean even in grade school about the Holocaust, but

1:31:07.760 --> 1:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't get it. I really don't get it.

1:31:10.280 --> 1:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>In her point, it's tied into Trump derangement syndrome. There's

1:31:14.320 --> 1:31:19.799
<v Speaker 1>probably something to that, but anti Semitism is not something

1:31:20.240 --> 1:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that I thought just about everybody else the United States

1:31:23.320 --> 1:31:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of America would be dealing with in the year twenty

1:31:26.280 --> 1:31:30.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty five. It just absolutely floors me. Okay, let's see,

1:31:30.720 --> 1:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>let's talk to Pete in Whitehall. Hey, Pete, Hey, good.

1:31:34.280 --> 1:31:35.200
<v Speaker 9>Mor sir, hey.

1:31:35.200 --> 1:31:37.840
<v Speaker 17>I wanted to follow up on the awesome mister Smitherman.

1:31:38.080 --> 1:31:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and he.

1:31:39.200 --> 1:31:43.719
<v Speaker 17>Comment he made, uh that on common sense. A beautiful,

1:31:43.760 --> 1:31:47.960
<v Speaker 17>striking woman told me one day that common sense has

1:31:48.080 --> 1:31:49.600
<v Speaker 17>become a superpower.

1:31:51.520 --> 1:31:54.840
<v Speaker 2>That is that is that is I haven't heard it.

1:31:54.840 --> 1:31:58.639
<v Speaker 17>Better put than that that the left has no shame,

1:31:59.080 --> 1:32:01.599
<v Speaker 17>they have no account of and they have no plan

1:32:01.920 --> 1:32:05.800
<v Speaker 17>to create a better America. It's only tear it down,

1:32:06.080 --> 1:32:08.520
<v Speaker 17>Thank you very much, Mike, okay, program.

1:32:08.200 --> 1:32:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Pete. Yeah, you know what, And that makes perfect sense.

1:32:12.040 --> 1:32:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the common sense is at a premium, and

1:32:16.240 --> 1:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>all the Democrats do is want to tear things down.

1:32:19.479 --> 1:32:24.559
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would challenge someone give me three three

1:32:24.840 --> 1:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>initiatives that the left slash Democrat Party the same thing

1:32:31.000 --> 1:32:33.519
<v Speaker 1>have tried to get through in the last three years.

1:32:33.800 --> 1:32:38.839
<v Speaker 1>It's nothing other than hate Trump, hate Trump, hate Trump,

1:32:39.360 --> 1:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>try to obstruct him at every angle. And you know,

1:32:43.880 --> 1:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the numbers and the Republican numbers on favorability aren't all

1:32:48.040 --> 1:32:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that hot either, but they're a heck of a lot

1:32:50.479 --> 1:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>better than the Democrats. So I think he makes some

1:32:54.280 --> 1:32:57.439
<v Speaker 1>good points. And man, you'd like to see some common

1:32:57.479 --> 1:33:03.080
<v Speaker 1>sense come back, but common sense in politics sometimes, unfortunately,

1:33:03.320 --> 1:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>just don't jibe. Let's talk to Frank. Hey, Good morning, Frank.

1:33:09.040 --> 1:33:09.599
<v Speaker 18>Good morning, Mike.

1:33:09.640 --> 1:33:10.040
<v Speaker 10>How you doing.

1:33:10.080 --> 1:33:10.320
<v Speaker 15>Cirtain.

1:33:10.400 --> 1:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm good, I'm good. What you got good? I'm with you.

1:33:13.960 --> 1:33:16.200
<v Speaker 18>First of all, I kicked myself that I didn't watch

1:33:16.240 --> 1:33:19.400
<v Speaker 18>that game put on assistance, saying.

1:33:19.160 --> 1:33:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Can you believe that?

1:33:21.360 --> 1:33:23.679
<v Speaker 18>No, those stats are like something out of a video game,

1:33:23.720 --> 1:33:24.679
<v Speaker 18>and it was just unreal.

1:33:25.280 --> 1:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one.

1:33:26.000 --> 1:33:26.519
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

1:33:27.680 --> 1:33:31.080
<v Speaker 18>So listen real quick. The independent journalists that you had

1:33:31.080 --> 1:33:33.519
<v Speaker 18>on earlier, I'm not sure his name, but he does

1:33:33.560 --> 1:33:34.360
<v Speaker 18>a wonderful job.

1:33:34.560 --> 1:33:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's not a journalist, he's a political analyst.

1:33:38.520 --> 1:33:44.519
<v Speaker 18>That's just an analyst. Sorry, what's his name, Kevin Burton? Burton, Yeah,

1:33:44.560 --> 1:33:45.960
<v Speaker 18>he does a great job. So he made a point

1:33:46.000 --> 1:33:48.200
<v Speaker 18>that I just want to say, and you agreed with

1:33:48.280 --> 1:33:50.320
<v Speaker 18>him that I just want to like echo and stream

1:33:50.360 --> 1:33:53.680
<v Speaker 18>in the mountaintop, and that is that we need to

1:33:53.680 --> 1:33:57.720
<v Speaker 18>put something in place nationwide or more universal that just

1:33:57.800 --> 1:33:59.760
<v Speaker 18>makes more of a level playing field as far as

1:33:59.800 --> 1:34:04.759
<v Speaker 18>a portunate and drawing of districts. And I think that's something,

1:34:04.800 --> 1:34:07.559
<v Speaker 18>you know, as divisive as the country is, you know,

1:34:08.680 --> 1:34:11.600
<v Speaker 18>talk about polls pulling actually shows for most of the

1:34:11.600 --> 1:34:14.200
<v Speaker 18>major issues, the majority of the country agrees. It's just

1:34:14.760 --> 1:34:16.880
<v Speaker 18>the you know, the the extremes on each side that

1:34:16.920 --> 1:34:20.080
<v Speaker 18>are allowedest I believe, but I think most Americans that's

1:34:20.080 --> 1:34:23.160
<v Speaker 18>something that they would want. Additionally, you know, not to

1:34:23.200 --> 1:34:26.120
<v Speaker 18>go down this rabbit hole but campaign finance and fixing

1:34:26.160 --> 1:34:28.080
<v Speaker 18>that and getting all the dark money bs out of

1:34:28.080 --> 1:34:30.800
<v Speaker 18>politics is another thing that most Americans would agree on.

1:34:31.160 --> 1:34:34.360
<v Speaker 18>So you got two points that probably with bipartisan support,

1:34:34.400 --> 1:34:37.320
<v Speaker 18>you could easily pass a couple of amendments. But it's

1:34:37.320 --> 1:34:39.879
<v Speaker 18>never going to happen. It's never going to happen, and

1:34:40.479 --> 1:34:43.120
<v Speaker 18>it's because politics is as dirty as it is on

1:34:43.160 --> 1:34:45.000
<v Speaker 18>both sides, and it's a shame.

1:34:45.080 --> 1:34:50.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's never it's never been this bad. It really hasn't. Frank,

1:34:51.000 --> 1:34:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it's awful. And I agree with you completely. Oh like

1:34:54.520 --> 1:34:57.640
<v Speaker 1>this budget thing, my god, couldn't they work out a

1:34:57.720 --> 1:35:01.599
<v Speaker 1>procedure where we don't have to go through this? I'm

1:35:01.600 --> 1:35:03.200
<v Speaker 1>not playing the other side on that.

1:35:04.360 --> 1:35:04.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I agree.

1:35:04.960 --> 1:35:06.720
<v Speaker 18>It's like both sides of like five year old saying

1:35:06.760 --> 1:35:08.760
<v Speaker 18>I'm gonna hold my breath, like get my way. It's

1:35:08.800 --> 1:35:13.040
<v Speaker 18>it's disgusting, it's it's absurd. So I wish our politicians

1:35:13.080 --> 1:35:15.720
<v Speaker 18>were working more bipartisan fashion because there's a lot of

1:35:15.840 --> 1:35:18.280
<v Speaker 18>major issues that they could get done that could really

1:35:18.320 --> 1:35:21.400
<v Speaker 18>fix the country in positive way. But it's unfortunate that,

1:35:21.800 --> 1:35:23.479
<v Speaker 18>you know, none seem too eager to do that.

1:35:23.800 --> 1:35:25.800
<v Speaker 1>You're so right about that. Thanks for the call.

1:35:25.920 --> 1:35:28.360
<v Speaker 18>Frank, absolutely, thank you, sir.

1:35:28.400 --> 1:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You have a wonderful weekend, you too, thank you. Oh

1:35:31.200 --> 1:35:35.040
<v Speaker 1>let's see, let's see, let's see. How about Tom in date?

1:35:35.120 --> 1:35:36.240
<v Speaker 1>And Hey Tom, how are you?

1:35:37.080 --> 1:35:40.400
<v Speaker 13>Hey Mike, first time caller. You know, if Amy Act

1:35:40.520 --> 1:35:42.400
<v Speaker 13>is running for governor, she's got an awful lot of

1:35:42.479 --> 1:35:45.479
<v Speaker 13>goall in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, she made

1:35:45.520 --> 1:35:48.800
<v Speaker 13>all the wrong decisions about COVID, you know, making us

1:35:48.800 --> 1:35:55.240
<v Speaker 13>wear masks and shutting down businesses and recommending the genetic

1:35:55.960 --> 1:35:59.479
<v Speaker 13>COVID shot. You know, I don't think she should be

1:35:59.520 --> 1:36:03.360
<v Speaker 13>anywhere near me making decisions for the entire state. Remember

1:36:03.400 --> 1:36:06.040
<v Speaker 13>that was all for a virus that had a survival

1:36:06.120 --> 1:36:08.759
<v Speaker 13>rate of ninety nine point seven percent and an average

1:36:08.760 --> 1:36:11.400
<v Speaker 13>age of death of eighty years old. And she had

1:36:11.439 --> 1:36:13.840
<v Speaker 13>a shut down all of Ohio for that, and you

1:36:13.840 --> 1:36:17.439
<v Speaker 13>know Governor DeWine went right along with her recommendations. So

1:36:18.560 --> 1:36:22.000
<v Speaker 13>it's just terrible. And you know, the COVID shots not

1:36:22.040 --> 1:36:25.120
<v Speaker 13>only that, they've caused a lot of damage amongst people.

1:36:25.200 --> 1:36:28.920
<v Speaker 13>Right side effects. I've been tracking this unusual side effect

1:36:28.960 --> 1:36:31.320
<v Speaker 13>of these white fibrous clots and the balmers and finding

1:36:31.320 --> 1:36:33.479
<v Speaker 13>in corpses for the last four years. I was on

1:36:33.560 --> 1:36:36.880
<v Speaker 13>Gary Jeff Walker show this last Monday talking about it again.

1:36:37.400 --> 1:36:40.599
<v Speaker 13>So just one of to let your audience know that

1:36:40.640 --> 1:36:44.719
<v Speaker 13>this woman should be nowhere near running our state after

1:36:44.760 --> 1:36:48.240
<v Speaker 13>such poor decision making skills and twenty twenty one.

1:36:48.479 --> 1:36:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that. Tom, thanks for the call. I'm gonna

1:36:51.080 --> 1:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>address it. Yeah, I mean, she's not going anywhere. She's

1:36:54.960 --> 1:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>nobody is going to beat the vag Ramaswami and it

1:36:59.160 --> 1:37:04.080
<v Speaker 1>just st ain't happening. And uh uh, I think that

1:37:04.200 --> 1:37:07.559
<v Speaker 1>you know she's got I think she's got a primary challenge.

1:37:07.960 --> 1:37:10.559
<v Speaker 1>We were talking to mister Burton about that, but now

1:37:10.600 --> 1:37:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't recall. Uh there's some other Democrat that I

1:37:13.800 --> 1:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>think wants to do it. But she or any other

1:37:16.760 --> 1:37:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Democrat for that matter, is not going to beat Ramaswami.

1:37:20.040 --> 1:37:23.920
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, he got out so early on that thing,

1:37:24.000 --> 1:37:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's even got two or three unions supporting him,

1:37:27.880 --> 1:37:30.640
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think we need to worry about that.

1:37:31.920 --> 1:37:35.839
<v Speaker 1>How about Mike in Columbus and then Marsha Hey, Mike.

1:37:37.200 --> 1:37:38.120
<v Speaker 11>Hey, Mike, how you doing.

1:37:38.200 --> 1:37:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm good what you got.

1:37:40.120 --> 1:37:42.559
<v Speaker 11>It's a pleasure to speak with you again after all

1:37:42.600 --> 1:37:45.519
<v Speaker 11>this time. Listening to you, it would be really easy

1:37:45.560 --> 1:37:47.920
<v Speaker 11>to just parrot everything you say because I agree one

1:37:48.000 --> 1:37:52.679
<v Speaker 11>hundred percent, thank you with every perspective you have. I'm i'm,

1:37:52.760 --> 1:37:55.400
<v Speaker 11>i'm I'm a little different topic here, and that's the

1:37:55.479 --> 1:38:00.800
<v Speaker 11>National Guard situation. I'm a little perplexed why with all

1:38:00.840 --> 1:38:04.680
<v Speaker 11>the pushback that we're receiving from the mayors and the

1:38:04.720 --> 1:38:08.400
<v Speaker 11>governors of these cities that have these ridiculous crime rates,

1:38:08.920 --> 1:38:12.280
<v Speaker 11>and who President Trump wishes or has in fact sent

1:38:12.360 --> 1:38:16.439
<v Speaker 11>in guard if they want to bitch and moan about

1:38:16.479 --> 1:38:20.559
<v Speaker 11>this like they are of the opinion. And plus, if

1:38:20.600 --> 1:38:23.560
<v Speaker 11>you agree with me that the majority of people in Chicago,

1:38:24.240 --> 1:38:27.559
<v Speaker 11>or in Tennessee, in Memphis, or wherever it happens to

1:38:27.560 --> 1:38:29.880
<v Speaker 11>be where these crimes, the majority the people want the

1:38:29.920 --> 1:38:33.599
<v Speaker 11>crime eradicated. They don't care how it's done. They are

1:38:33.600 --> 1:38:36.120
<v Speaker 11>fed up with the crime. And you've got these squeaky

1:38:36.160 --> 1:38:39.360
<v Speaker 11>wheels who you know, couch out to the mayors and

1:38:39.400 --> 1:38:42.720
<v Speaker 11>the governors who are going to have this Trump derangement

1:38:42.760 --> 1:38:45.639
<v Speaker 11>syndrome and say we don't want them here, Get them

1:38:45.640 --> 1:38:48.439
<v Speaker 11>the heck out. I say take them out. I say

1:38:48.760 --> 1:38:51.439
<v Speaker 11>get them out. Don't send them into these cities that

1:38:51.560 --> 1:38:54.519
<v Speaker 11>don't want them there. Let the cities go through the

1:38:54.600 --> 1:38:57.519
<v Speaker 11>crime that we expect that they will, okay, and if

1:38:57.520 --> 1:39:00.920
<v Speaker 11>we're not afraid that we're wrong, let them go through

1:39:00.960 --> 1:39:03.120
<v Speaker 11>the crime that they're going to go through. And then

1:39:03.160 --> 1:39:06.240
<v Speaker 11>those people who haven't spoken out, but the silent majority,

1:39:06.439 --> 1:39:08.519
<v Speaker 11>are going to go to the governor and to the

1:39:08.560 --> 1:39:10.799
<v Speaker 11>mayor and say, listen, we're not going to take us anymore.

1:39:10.960 --> 1:39:12.920
<v Speaker 11>We don't care what you do. Bring in the guard,

1:39:13.120 --> 1:39:15.760
<v Speaker 11>and it'll be at that point that we prove the

1:39:15.840 --> 1:39:18.160
<v Speaker 11>point that they needed it all along and that this

1:39:18.200 --> 1:39:23.719
<v Speaker 11>is nothing more than a complicit movement against Donald Trump.

1:39:24.479 --> 1:39:28.040
<v Speaker 11>I don't understand why we're so hell bent on going

1:39:28.040 --> 1:39:30.320
<v Speaker 11>ahead and sending these troops in now. I get that

1:39:30.800 --> 1:39:33.080
<v Speaker 11>the President doesn't want to see any more death and destruction.

1:39:33.439 --> 1:39:35.400
<v Speaker 11>That was true in the Israel as well as the

1:39:35.520 --> 1:39:39.000
<v Speaker 11>Russian conflicts. But at some point you have to say,

1:39:39.400 --> 1:39:41.439
<v Speaker 11>if you're not wanted there, and all we're going to

1:39:41.520 --> 1:39:47.080
<v Speaker 11>do is have these constant rebel causes against us, say

1:39:47.320 --> 1:39:50.439
<v Speaker 11>enough is enough. We ain't going you deal with it,

1:39:50.600 --> 1:39:53.439
<v Speaker 11>have a nice day. Can you explain to me what's

1:39:53.479 --> 1:39:54.600
<v Speaker 11>wrong with that philosophy?

1:39:54.920 --> 1:39:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got to let you go here. Thank you, Mike.

1:39:58.560 --> 1:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the call. You know what I mean. He

1:40:01.320 --> 1:40:05.120
<v Speaker 1>makes a good point. I remember in Minneapolis. I guess

1:40:05.200 --> 1:40:09.040
<v Speaker 1>it was during the George Floyd Bryants. My god, that town,

1:40:09.800 --> 1:40:13.519
<v Speaker 1>A good chunk of it was burned down pretty badly.

1:40:13.680 --> 1:40:16.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I don't know. I guess that would

1:40:16.200 --> 1:40:18.439
<v Speaker 1>be one option to say to the cities, you take

1:40:18.439 --> 1:40:21.040
<v Speaker 1>care of your own self here and forget about any

1:40:21.040 --> 1:40:24.439
<v Speaker 1>help from US. I guess my thought is, what kind

1:40:24.439 --> 1:40:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of governor, what kind of mayor, what kind of elected

1:40:27.400 --> 1:40:34.680
<v Speaker 1>official would argue against help with crime? Why would you

1:40:34.760 --> 1:40:39.240
<v Speaker 1>do that? I mean, it's going to directly benefit the

1:40:39.280 --> 1:40:43.480
<v Speaker 1>citizens your constituency. But that's the state of the Democratic

1:40:43.560 --> 1:40:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Party now. They don't want the increased protection. But it's

1:40:48.680 --> 1:40:51.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be interesting to see all this plays out.

1:40:51.360 --> 1:40:54.960
<v Speaker 1>That question, I think is before the Supreme Court, So

1:40:55.720 --> 1:40:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess we'll find out. Hey, i'm out of time, Marcia.

1:40:59.160 --> 1:41:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for call, and I promise I'll

1:41:01.840 --> 1:41:04.360
<v Speaker 1>get to you next week if you call. Hey, I'm

1:41:04.400 --> 1:41:06.200
<v Speaker 1>out of here. But well, first of all, I want

1:41:06.200 --> 1:41:10.439
<v Speaker 1>to thank my excellent producer Liam for keeping me out

1:41:10.479 --> 1:41:14.519
<v Speaker 1>of trouble every week and Sunday night from ten to

1:41:14.920 --> 1:41:18.240
<v Speaker 1>one am. My son and I are doing Willie's national

1:41:18.320 --> 1:41:22.160
<v Speaker 1>show Coast to coast, so that's always fun. If you're up,

1:41:22.920 --> 1:41:26.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of tune us in. Mike Allen seven
