That's a global phenomenon 6 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: and it's caused the price of gasoling to go through 7 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: the roof. Not stating anything you don't know already, So 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: mean you've been out trying to fill your gas tank 9 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: up over the last several days.

Worry belongs to executive producer of this program 12 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: and responsible for lining up guests. We've got some great 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: guests on the program today. That's a subjective statement. You 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: can draw your own subjective conclusion. But coming up seven 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: o five as the Tax Ohio Sarah Woolf from ax 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Attack Ohio about ending property taxes. Apparently either she directly 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: or the organization through its representatives met with Eve Ramaswami 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: to discuss well, ending property taxes and everything that goes 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: along with that weird reality that one. We'll see what 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: Sarah has to say about the complexities involved in getting 21 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: read of property taxes here can we go in that direction? 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: We're going to have a vote on it, presumably if 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: they can get it on the ballot. And of course, 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: it being Monday seven with Christopher Smithman, just kind of 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: wondered if you might have anything to say about violence 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: going on in downtown since, say, Joe, do you think 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: he's going to talk about violence? Had another pretty violent weekend. 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: A couple people stabbed in Westwood, we got in a 29 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: deadly shooting in Avondale, Madisonville, And of course Joe Strecker 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: is keeping track of the way folks voted in downtown 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Cincinnati see Madisonville seventy one to eighty four percent AFTAB 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: pearvall in the current makeup, or in Westwood seventy one 33 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: to eighty four percent aftab Parvoll and the current makeup 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: eighty five to one hundred percent have tab parvoll in 35 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: the current makeup over. In Avondale, there was a deadly shooting. 36 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm just trying to sort of 37 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: project what Christopher might talk about. Christopher, the subject matter 38 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: is always yours. If you're listening this morning eight oh 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: five after Christopher Holly, you know, Holly. Probably the most 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: tragic illustration of that just crazy beatdown that happened last 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: summer in the city of Cincinnati, drawing national attention to 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: the violence that's going on in the city. Oh look, 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: it's continuing. Anyway, Hollywood joined the programma talking about Holly's 44 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: Law or Holly's Act, introduced by a representative, DJ Swearingen. 45 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: He's from Uron, right, Joe, DJ Sweringen. We're not real 46 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: close to Huron, but Hollya joined the program in eight 47 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: of five. Get her reaction on that and how she's doing. 48 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: I first thing out of the gate got to ask 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: Hollie is how she's recovering because she suffered some severe injuries, 50 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: including my understanding some long term brain damage. Anyway, you're 51 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: wondering why I mentioned DJ swearing in Ohio state representative 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: being from here on DJ Swearings and swaring is going 53 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: to join the program at eight twenty after Holly because 54 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: he's the one that introduced Holly's Law legislation. Hey, Joe, 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: could you get anybody locally to talk about that? Crickets, 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: How is it that we can get a representative from 57 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Huron but no one about here locally. That's weird. No 58 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: one here cares. Strekker's summary of the current reality of 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: local elected officials wanting to be on the fifty five 60 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: kr S morning show and care see does care. We 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: always try to prove that. And today the since ADVA 62 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: doctor Sherry French Meyer Friends Meyer will be in studio 63 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: about well, explaining to you me and my veteran commit 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: of friends in the veteran community, whole health. What is 65 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: whole health? Initial cap on wh whole health? How do 66 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: they get connected with it? Services involved that are not 67 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: part of the typical healthcare. We'll get all kinds of 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: questions answered with the doctor at eight forty again in 69 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: studio and speaking of an ability to call in. You 70 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: don't need to be an elected officials from this southwest Ohio, 71 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: although if you're out there, feel free to time in 72 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: five one three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight hundred 73 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: eight two three talk pound five fifty on your AT 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: and T phone. Department of Homeland Security is still shut down, 75 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: among others. I don't know if you got the memo 76 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: on that, but apparently anybody who went to an airport 77 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: airport over the weekend is struggling mightily to deal with 78 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: the weight, and President Trump said just yesterday he will 79 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: not sign any other bills until the Save America Act 80 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: is passed. That will be the photo ID requirement, among 81 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: other things. I'm just wondering if Congress decides to reopen 82 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: the government and get these DHS folks and others a paycheck, 83 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna This week is the first week 84 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: the DHS and the others who are struggling with the 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: shutdown will not be getting a paycheck. I guess at 86 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: all zero dollars, and a lot of them aren't shown 87 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: up to work. We saw this before. It happens every time. 88 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: So if they came up with the build A fund, 89 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: the government with Donald Trump signed it in advance of 90 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: them not taking any action on the Save ac According 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: to yesterday, apparently not said he wants the version passed, 92 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: one that would require proof of citizenship to register and vote. 93 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: Great job by hard working, hardworking Scott Presler and Fox 94 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: and Friends taking talking about using the filibuster or talking filibuster. 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: This is a statement from Trump yesterday. In order to 96 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: pass the Save America Acting, eighty eight percent issue with 97 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: all voters must be done immediately supersedes everything else. Must 98 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: go to the front of the line. That's in all caps, 99 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: just trying to make himself clear on that point as president, 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: will not sign other bills until this is passed. And 101 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: again shifting to all caps in his social media polls 102 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: and not the watered down version. Go for the gold 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: must show voter ID and proof of citizenship. No mail 104 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: in ballots except for military illness, disability travel. No men 105 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: in women's sports. I didn't know that was part of 106 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: the Save Act bill. No transgender mutilization for children, do 107 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: not fail triple exclamation point, signed Donald Trump. Now, there 108 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: was a recent Harvard Harris pole which of course backs 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: up what Donald Trump says about this being a overwhelmingly, 110 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly in favor of issue, you know, one of those 111 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: eighty twenty issues we talk about. So where's the hold 112 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: up with the Save Act? I saw yet another article 113 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: about Mitch McConnell being outright against this, and you know 114 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: it's funny. I was willing to say he's willing to 115 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: stake his political future preventing to Save Act. Oh, that's right, 116 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't have one anymore fast approaching and of Mitch 117 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: McConnell's decades and decades long career. Yeah, pivoting back over 118 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: to the reality you may have felt. I'm sure maybe 119 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: we'll hear Jay Ratliffe on this subject on Thursday, and hopefully, 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Dear God, let us pray that the situation has been 121 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: resolved by then. I'm not optimistic about that. The absence 122 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: of TSA workers, I guess we're not shown up if 123 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: we're not getting paid created problem over the weekend with 124 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: like multiple airports, three and a half hour line at 125 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: Houston's Hobby Airport. You know, I sort of I feel 126 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: the sting of this personally, although I haven't flown in 127 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: such a long time. One of the reasons I abhor 128 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: air travel is exactly that it's something I'm afraid at crashing. 129 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: It's just I hate everything that goes along with air travel. 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: Lewis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans, TSA experiencing a shortage of 131 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: workers at the security checkpoint, which is causing longer than 132 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: average line. Passengers with travel schedules today advised to arrive 133 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: at least three hours before the scheduled department departure at 134 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: least Houston George Bush International multiple hour lines. Charles Douglas 135 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: International Airport in North Carolina Artsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 136 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: probably the busiest airport on a planet, also dealing with 137 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: multiple multiple hour delays. Funding for Homeland Security Department stopped 138 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: on February thirteen at halted operations funding for a variety 139 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: government agencies, including course TSA, resulting at about fifty thousand 140 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: TSA airport security screeners working without pay now facing their 141 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: first full missed paycheck, leading to financial hardship, absences, and 142 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: crippling staff shortages. That's from an announcement from the DHS itself, 143 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: and I you know there were reports of this previously 144 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: during prior government shutdowns. This sound like a story you've 145 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: heard before. A lot of those workers are living paycheck 146 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: to paycheck. That's their problem, it's their issue, and them 147 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: not alone on that. But if they're not getting a 148 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: TSA paycheck, some of them have to go off and 149 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: find another means of gaining money or getting money, a 150 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: separate job, which might prevent them from showing up for working, 151 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: shown up to work where they're not getting paid and 152 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: oh no, what's coming. It's only going to get worse 153 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: unless they get the government back. Going spring break spring 154 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: travel period with carriers, I guess up until now expecting 155 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: a record number of folks, up four percent of the 156 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: same two month period last year. One hundred and seventy 157 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: one million passengers are expected to be flying. 158 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 3: So. 159 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: Just know they're not well if they can wait it 160 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: out long enough. And yeah, okay, thankfully I'm not in 161 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: that crowd. I have no plans for air travel, so 162 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: this is one of those issues that I can feel 163 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: for other people, not impacting me directly.

There's certainly 292 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: a possibility it won't. But I think your admonishment that 293 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: you need to be prepared and think about that contingency 294 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: is really important advice, Bobby.

And as 300 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: I always like to point out, the fool is the 301 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: one that's not looking out for his or her own 302 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: best interests. So think about that he Bobby's advice, and 303 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: you might just want to consider things getting going sideways 304 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: sort of outside of your ability to control that reality. 305 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: Good point.

Maybe you're just angry about the price of 407 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: gas going up, which was happening, which would be a 408 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: hell of a lot worse if it wasn't for the 409 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: Donald Trump energy policies all the above, I mean, we have. 410 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: If you think it's bad now with the straight of 411 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: hormuves being closed, you have no idea how bad it 412 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: would have been had we not changed gears a while 413 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: back and tapped into our own ability to be energy dominant. 414 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: We're now in net exporter of fuels and that was 415 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: not the case in all the prior times when the 416 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: straight of horror moves has been shut down, Go all 417 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: the way back to the nineteen seventy three OPEC embargo. 418 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: That was an intentional reaction to Nixon and his foreign 419 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: policies quadrupled the price of oil at the time. So, 420 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: but recognizing that and that is a problem. And you 421 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: can say Donald Trump is the one that did this. 422 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Trump attacking Iran, the straight of 423 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: hormuves would not be shut down. Well, there have been 424 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: a whole lot of times when like the Huthis and 425 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: other terrorist proxies have shut the straight of hormones down 426 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: or made things rather dangerous. Are you going to go 427 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: back to the Democrats global climate alarmism and the refusal 428 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: to tap into energy policies? Is that really? Is that 429 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: something you want, you desire to happen, because that's what's 430 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: going to happen.

This after he 502 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: cut off his penis. And sorry to the guys in 503 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: the audience, I it's like phantom pain.

That's pretty 510 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: gross anyway. The Sheriff's annual barbecue fundraiser resulted. This is 511 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: the Indian River County Sheriff's Officer event. I guess last Wednesday. 512 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: They did have a hit, apparently raised sixty three thousand 513 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: dollars for a Florida charity. Attendees rawford tours of the jail, 514 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: and they enjoyed a swat and canine demonstration. During the 515 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: thirty second annual affair, you could get two dollars hot 516 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: dogs and seven dollars dinner plates. Your choice is pork 517 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: or chicken. Anyway. To help with the sheriff fundraiser, organizers 518 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: employed some inmates. Inmates describes as folks who could be 519 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: counted on when outside of the prison called trustees, and 520 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: these trustees were charged with us serving food and maintenance 521 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: of the fair grounds. There apparently one such trustee, a 522 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: guy named Hartley Sanchez Vero beach Man, locked up in 523 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: advance of trial on theft and drug possession charges. Police 524 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: report says Sanchez was assigned to the barbecue serving line 525 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: when he snuck away to a bank of portable toilets 526 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: about five point thirty in the evening. All recorded by 527 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: surveillance cameras, Sanchez spoke with two women, one of whom 528 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 1: eventually entered into the porta potty with Sanchez, why are 529 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: you doing that? After checking with the coast, is clear 530 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: he went in there with her. When jailer's later questioned 531 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: about the trip to the John Sanchez quote spontaneously, openly 532 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: and freely stated that he had sex with the female 533 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: in the porta potty close quote, there's no flag for us. 534 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: Sanchez ledley walked fifty yards away from where he was 535 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: working to get to the toilets, engaged in an quote 536 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: unauthorized conjugal visit to hook up or have sexual intercourse 537 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: clothes quote that's in the arrest report. When I asked 538 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: about his companion, Sanchez says, quote, I am not willing 539 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: to say who she was. 540 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: Yet. 541 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: After a review of video footage, investigators identified the woman 542 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: as embarrassing her entire family. Elizabeth Greer, a former jail inmate, 543 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: thirty six years old. She'd been freed from custody about 544 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: two months after serving time for credit card theft and 545 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: possession of drug paraphernalia. The court records don't necessarily address 546 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: the nature of the relationship between Sanchez and Greer. As 547 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: a consequence of the action, Sanchez charged with prisoner escape 548 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: or attempted escape, described as a second degree felony punishable 549 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: by up to fifteen years in prison. I hope it 550 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: was worth it. Buddy Greer, on probation until late twenty 551 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: twenty seven, has not been in charge of connection with 552 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: the Well incident.

Hughes came out 565 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: of the homes to confront the teens, who then scrambled 566 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: into two vehicles and tried to get away. Hughes tripped 567 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: and fell onto the road, and that's when eighteen year 568 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: old Jaden Wallace ran him over in his pickup truck. 569 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: They did stay behind to help the deputies at the scene. 570 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: Hughes taken to the hospital where he died.

Sheriff spokesperson said he wasn't sure 580 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: why the teens picked his home or if the teens 581 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: were current or former students of his. So they also 582 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: point out that sometimes te peing is done to the 583 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: homes of teachers who are in fact beloved, and oftentimes 584 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: to homes of teachers and others who are not beloved. 585 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: And who are they doing it things?

Some say no, it's not going to take 595 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: very long at all. Others are saying this could be 596 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: a protracted problem. Iranians may very well want to disrupt 597 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: global energy by bombing facilities which are being bombed all 598 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: over the place.

Judge Structer described 620 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: that as a deafening silence.

Yes, 634 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: of course, the price of oil has gone up almost instantly, 635 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: the Strait of Horn moves being shut down, resulting in 636 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: what has described as severe shock to energy markets, the 637 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: worst since the nineteen seventies. I'm old enough to remember 638 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: the realities in the nineteen seventies, not that I had 639 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: any economic perception of why it happened. That was the 640 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: Opek and Barbrow So. Anyway, because of the disruption of 641 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: the Strait of Horror moves, thousands of ships are just 642 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: floating around there. They refuse to go in through that 643 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: narrow strip because they're worried about the Iranians or the 644 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: Hoofy rebels or any other rebel proxies backed by the 645 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: Iranians blowing up the boats. Some of them are scooting through, 646 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: And apparently the ones that have been scooting through in 647 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: spite of the threat are Iranian oil tankers. M I 648 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: don't find it coincidental that the Iranians been able to 649 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: squeak through a few oil tankers and not get blown up. Hell, 650 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: it's the Iranian ships. Fortunately, thank you to the all 651 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: the above energy strategies embraced by Trump Term one and 652 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: Trump Term two. We have more shock absorbers in place. Yeah, 653 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: we're in that exporter. 654 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: Now. 655 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: Wasn't that long ago that we were dependent completely like 656 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: everybody else in the world, and mostly Middle East oil. 657 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: The percentage of oil that we relied on was overwhelming 658 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: compared to now, you know, the exception of California. Most 659 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: of our energy consumption comes from domestically produced oil and gas. 660 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: How about that? So it is bad, fifty cents more 661 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: of this week than it was a moment in time ago. 662 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 1: Is bad, but could be a lot worse. US Energy 663 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: Secretary Chris White trying to give you some assurances. He 664 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: said energy will flow soon. On Fox News yesterday and 665 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: a Sunday programming said he blamed the rise on prices 666 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: on the unknown that this could be some long drawn 667 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: out crisis. He claimed it won't be. But you may 668 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: have faith in Chris right. I don't know that he 669 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: can see the future. They say this problem is going 670 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: to get worse, especially in Europe and Asia. We for 671 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: decades policemen of the world him keeping the Strait of 672 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: Hormuz open with our military power. One fifth of global 673 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: supplies of oil and liquid natural gas flow through that 674 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: tiny little stretch. That gives the Iranians a hell of 675 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: a lot of power if you think about it, and 676 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: in the ripple effect is profound. I saw an article 677 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: on the Wall Street term I'm talking about this fertilizer. 678 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: Fertilizer for feeding crops on literally every continent that comes 679 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: from Yeah, that pesky natural gas stuff. We don't have 680 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: natural gas, we don't have fertilizer. Fertilizer feeds the world, 681 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: and it's been slowed down, in fact shut down completely 682 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: in some factories, and they expect crude prices to go 683 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: even higher. Strait doesn't open, So we either have US 684 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: naval escorts or maybe winning a prayer hope that ship 685 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: owners will think the danger has gone away and they'll 686 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: start sending more ships through the strait, just keeping their 687 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: fingers crossed that the rockets don't start firing. Yeah, it 688 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: just sort of as an aside, couldn't you, I guess 689 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: who knows, float some dummy ships through there, just so 690 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: you get an idea where the rockets are come from, 691 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: and then have a quick response team just blow the 692 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: crap out of all the areas where the Hoofies or 693 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: the Iranians are launching the rockets from. And we've blown 694 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: up like three thousand targets so far and that has 695 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: not stopped. The bombing continues. So you'd like to think 696 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: that at some point in the near term, the ability 697 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: to shoot rockets into the Strait of Hormus might disappear. 698 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: So fertilizers a problem. Apparently aluminum. Also, illuminum prices have 699 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 1: gone through multi year highs. Middle Eastern smelters have been closed. 700 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: The output from cutter. According to Norris Hydro, that's a 701 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: company that does I guess smelt aluminum said a full 702 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: restart of this process could take six to twelve months. Joe, 703 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: did you ever consider getting a degree in energy history? 704 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: Apparently there's something out there. There's an energy historian who 705 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: is quoted by the Wall Street Journal, guy named Daniel Jergan. 706 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: Never heard of an energy historian, he said. Anyway, we're 707 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: looking at what is by far the biggest disruption of 708 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: the world history in terms of daily oil production. If 709 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: it goes on for weeks, it will reverberate across the 710 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: global economy. And so note that maybe exactly what the 711 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: Iranians want. Saying that energy facilities. Attacks on energy facilities 712 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: and shipping appears to be a hail merry attempt to 713 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: make the war so painful, not just for the Americans 714 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,479 Speaker 1: but for everybody else in the world. Apparently that Trump 715 00:39:52,520 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: will back down. I personally don't see that happening. Last week, 716 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: US crewed features up thirty six bucks. So the headlines 717 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: this morning oil prices this morning already north of one 718 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a barrel. That's the biggest surge since the 719 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: crude futures market began in nineteen eighty three. Trump's call 720 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: on Friday for Iran's unconditional surrender apparently caused Wall Street 721 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: to give up hope that we're going to reach a 722 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: speedy peace deal. They've got themselves a new president. Yeah, 723 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: the Kameni's son is the new guy, tob maj Taba Khamani, 724 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: apparently really close ties the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and erradical 725 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: just like his old man. So to the extent you're 726 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 1: looking for regime change, for a more modern administration in Iran, 727 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: the answer is Nope, that's not happening. So I know 728 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: that this trait is not officially a closed or physically blocked, 729 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: but the fear of the strikes the problem. On Sunday yesterday, 730 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: more than one thousand ships were just parked floating around 731 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: waiting to pass through, scared of being attacked. Traders, fear 732 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: that both sides are going to be ramping up the 733 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: targeting of energy infrastructure. 734 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 3: Yeah. 735 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia intercepted a drone heading for an oil field 736 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: over the weekend, likely from Iran. Israel hit several fuel 737 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 1: storage complexes in Iran over the weekend right there in Tehran. 738 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: So now we go back to history. This is not 739 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: the first time. Let's go back to the oil embargo 740 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: by Arab producers in response to this is something when 741 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: I was a kid, I didn't realize Nixon's support of 742 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: Israel in the nineteen seventy three Yam Kapur War. I 743 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: guess ultimately the reason for the embargo doesn't really matter. 744 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: We lived with the embargo. Oil prices quadrupled within three months. 745 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: This is back when we relied on that oil to 746 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: a much greater extent. But oil being a global commodity, 747 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: if you take a bunch of it offline one fifth, notably, 748 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: you're going to experience shock of it, even if we're 749 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:06,959 Speaker 1: our own domestic producer. Then you had the nineteen seventy 750 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 1: nine Exlomic Revolution, remember the hostages, the Ayatola commanding putting 751 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: place in power. CRUP prices more than doubled at that time, 752 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: which of course gave Jimmy Carter a real problem because 753 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: it contributed to the stagflation that was going on in 754 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: the United States. On the heels of the nineteen seventy 755 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: three Arab embargo HM. In nineteen eighty seven, we led 756 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,240 Speaker 1: a naval convoy to protect ships going through the Strait 757 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: when the Iran Iraq War impacted oil flows. It's not 758 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: always us. And of course, now that we have done 759 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,280 Speaker 1: all of the above strategy, we are now a net exporter. 760 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: It gives us a lot more flexibility, but it doesn't 761 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: prevent the price of oil from going up. Apparently China 762 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: saw this coming. They have enough fuel stockpile to cover 763 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: two hundred days of imports. They anticipated one hundred and 764 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: fifty dollars barrel oil well, but elsewhere in Asia imports well, 765 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 1: the import about eighty percent of the petroleum that goes through. Yes, 766 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: the Golf and the Strait of Horror moves described as 767 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,280 Speaker 1: more immediately vulnerable. Minim Mar already launched a rationing system. 768 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: Thailand suspended fuel exports. Philippines told their people to turn 769 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: off their computers at lunchtime and set air conditioning low 770 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: lowerland seventy five degrees, so immediate impact. Wait and see, 771 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: keep your popcorn out, and maybe a prayer or two 772 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: that this gets resolved quickly and promptly. Looking at gas buddy, 773 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: we're looking at about three point fifty a gallon about 774 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 1: on average here in the greater Cincinnati area. Five one, three, seven, 775 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: nine fifty five, eight hundred and eighty two to three. 776 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: Talk why are my Duke energy bills so high? High 777 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: before all of this hit the fan? Talk about that 778 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: coming up and maybe a good reason to get USA 779 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: Cox station. You care to comment if I went three 780 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three top town five fifty on your 781 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: eighteen and T phones. All right, Well, some baby quick 782 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: too blamed Donald Trump and the bombing of Iran as 783 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: a result of the as a consequence or I'm sorry, 784 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,840 Speaker 1: as the predicate for the reason for the strait of 785 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: horn moves being cut down or shot down. I think 786 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: you can easily make that argument. Not that we haven't 787 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,879 Speaker 1: had our problems before, as I just mentioned. And here's something, 788 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: you can't blame Trump on your Duke energy bill going up. 789 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: I've been lamenting this since I got the bill in January. 790 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: I could not believe my eyes. And I feel better though, 791 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: because I saw this since any inquiry reporting from Alexander Koolie, 792 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,439 Speaker 1: who looked into this and realized that no, you can't 793 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: blame Trump for this one, and I feel like I'm 794 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: in a better company now. Misery loves Company's the reports 795 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: the typical Duke Energy residential customer paid more than two 796 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six dollars in February for both gas 797 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: and electricity, described as an increase of thirteen percent from 798 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: last year. And here's a fun fact, up seventy percent 799 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 1: from February of twenty twenty, right before the COVID pandemic 800 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:13,280 Speaker 1: set off inflation. That's data from the Public Utility Commission 801 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: of Ohio. Why everybody online is asking that question, I've 802 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,439 Speaker 1: been asking that question. 803 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 8: Hmm. 804 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:26,280 Speaker 1: Generally Duke Energy officials say there's a supply crunch, soaring demand, 805 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence among others. Maybe EV's had something to do 806 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: with that. I don't know, but there aren't enough new 807 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: power plants coming on problem. Yes, the solutions see China. 808 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 1: But again, going back to this whole idea that you 809 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: might go full on Democrat this November because evil Orange 810 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: Man and maybe inflation will be a reason for that. 811 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: You're going to go back to this climate alarmism stuff 812 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,240 Speaker 1: where no one's going to want to open an energy 813 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: generation plan. Oh, we'll put up a solar farm after 814 00:45:53,200 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: have per of all, that's not going to solve our problems. Sorry, anyway, 815 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,280 Speaker 1: beyond the idea that we don't even know power plants 816 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: coming on while demand increases, Duke points out Ohio's deregulated 817 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: markets doesn't allow Duke or other power companies to generate 818 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: their own electricity. They have to buy power from other providers. 819 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: And of course, because the other providers are setting the 820 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 1: rate on those powers and there are a limited number 821 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: of providers on the market that are offering, you end 822 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,240 Speaker 1: up blaming Duke. And that's what Amy Spiller, Duke's president 823 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: of Ohio and Kentucky, speaking of the inquire, said, well, 824 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: when we deregulated, we seeded some control to the market. 825 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,839 Speaker 1: Don't direct your r toward us. Your energy is being 826 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: provided by some other entity. In the last year, energy 827 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 1: service they will be Home electric and heat prices in 828 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: America rose seven point two percent. Overall inflation was at 829 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,760 Speaker 1: two point four National home energy costs have jumped forty 830 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: four percent in this decade overall inflation over that same 831 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: period of time. Also an alarmingly huge fact that twenty 832 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,879 Speaker 1: six and a half percent. So yeah, it's been about 833 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:13,399 Speaker 1: double overall inflation crazy anyway, Gasoline price is thirty four 834 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,800 Speaker 1: percent up according to the Highbuera labor statistics, although I 835 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: think that in the last several days that figure is 836 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: probably pretty low. 837 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 3: Now. 838 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the State of the Union talking about 839 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,399 Speaker 1: core inflation being the lowest it has been in five years, 840 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: and I think that's still accurate. But remember core inflation 841 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: excludes food and energy. So is that figure really worth anything. 842 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: We all have to buy food and energy. I think 843 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: not personally. So Duke isn't allowed to generate power for 844 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 1: its customers period end up gets so he gets paid 845 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,439 Speaker 1: regulated fees for distributing electricity from other providers. They also 846 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: get paid for maintenance in upgrades, and you're seeing that 847 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: in your bill. You go out and shop your own 848 00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: electricity provider well or except do price that said energy 849 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: townships that aggregate utilities. You do have options when it 850 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: comes to your provider, and sometimes it's like the peace 851 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: of God. How would I know whether any given provider 852 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: that I can buy electricity from is going to be 853 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,439 Speaker 1: lower than maybe the Duke aggregate a Duke rate. Good question, 854 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: but obviously the answer is regardless of which direction you went, 855 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 1: the price of energy has gone up, Duke President's biller. 856 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: We're no longer in the production business, and know how 857 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,359 Speaker 1: the challenge comes when customers see that bill and there 858 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: are charges and generation costs that we, Duke don't know 859 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: about because we don't set it. It's set by the 860 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,919 Speaker 1: competitive supplier. But of course the questions come to Duke, 861 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 1: why problem growing demand from the energy thirsty data centers. 862 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,720 Speaker 1: You also had the bad winter, the cold winter. Obviously 863 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:53,240 Speaker 1: demand increases on that supply demand issues, demand higher, supply limited, 864 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 1: and your price is going to go up. But data centers, 865 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 1: and again, if you're going to go full on climbing 866 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: alarmism and go Democrats in November, don't think your bill's 867 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: going to ever go down again.

Let 963 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 7: me get to the war now. I see a new 964 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:18,280 Speaker 7: tactic is coming on, you know, Israel or Iran struck. 965 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 7: I think it was day. It was not Beirut, it 966 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 7: was well one of Dubai or one of the countries. 967 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 7: They're starting to strike at each other's desalinization plant. Yes, yes, 968 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,720 Speaker 7: and if if you can remember that Iran in Tehran 969 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 7: they were talking about moving the capitol because of the 970 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 7: water shortage. There's only fifty four plants. The wells are 971 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:48,880 Speaker 7: drying up. But now because they Israel attacked, the wells 972 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 7: are not the wells, but the refineries and storage facilities. 973 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 7: It's now raining oil, contaminating what little bit they had left. 974 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 7: It's very easily you could kill five million people because 975 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 7: they live out in deserts, and they said in a 976 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 7: very short time they could run out of water and 977 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 7: you could see mass steps. This thing could definitely spiral 978 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 7: out in a million different ways we never thought or 979 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 7: saw coming, because it just seems like it's escalating, and 980 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,919 Speaker 7: you know, they're now striking and it's becoming obvious they're 981 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 7: going to try to increase the price of gasoline throughout 982 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 7: the country, throughout the world actually, and with that, you know, 983 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 7: like you said, the fertilizers and everything else. And I 984 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 7: don't think the Mullas are going to give up because 985 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,839 Speaker 7: I remember one of the first things my teacher had 986 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 7: taught me when I was in the military was the 987 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 7: first casualty of war is lies. It's all lies, is 988 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 7: the truth. First casualty is truth. The second one is 989 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 7: everybody that war's going to be over quickly, and it 990 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 7: never is because we're fighting human beings, and human beings 991 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 7: are inherently smart and they will come up with new 992 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 7: tactics and it comes out to be always painful. Now 993 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 7: that there could be a good reason for that. You know, 994 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 7: nobody wants to see the Middle East with nukes. They've 995 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 7: proven themselves to be unreliable, so I'm not calling this 996 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,399 Speaker 7: unjust war. I'm just saying this is either high rest, 997 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 7: high reward, or it's going to turn into the disaster. 998 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:33,520 Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. 999 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean and may be ultimately high reward 1000 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 1: down the road, but there's going to be a lot 1001 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,880 Speaker 1: of disaster that goes along with the humanitarian problems. Obviously 1002 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: loss of life we've had. We have one more American 1003 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 1: military soldier reported dead, and that's terrible, but seven out 1004 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 1: of the grand scheme of things, I can only imagine 1005 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of 1006 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 1: people displaced by the war, and the famine and the 1007 00:56:55,400 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 1: starvation and the obviously when you drop bombs there's going 1008 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 1: to be some civilian casualties that go along with that. 1009 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 1: And of course the world's focus always tends up, you know, 1010 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 1: looking at that and then blaming the United States or 1011 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: the Israelis or whoever is leading the war for the casualties. 1012 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 1: What of all the casualties that are the consequence of 1013 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,760 Speaker 1: the Iranians. And here's a question for you to hamstergare 1014 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 1: are the Iranians launching so many missiles into territories of 1015 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 1: people that you think they might went on their side. 1016 00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 1: They're going after all the all that could be maybe 1017 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 1: even were partially friends of Iran, people who didn't want 1018 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: to destabilize the region. But all these Arab countries getting 1019 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: attacked and forced them to all line up and at least, 1020 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, lend some support to the military efforts by 1021 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: the Israelits in the United States now bombing desalinization plants. 1022 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't understand the motive was behind them 1023 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 1: unless they're trying to create a global conflict. 1024 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 7: I think what they're trying to do is they're trying 1025 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 7: to apply pressure against these countries, to apply pressure against 1026 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 7: the United States to stop supplying war weapons into the region. 1027 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 7: And for Israel, I don't think it's a very good tactic. 1028 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 7: I don't think it's going to work. In fact, I 1029 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 7: you know, this is what happens when you got third 1030 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 7: grade leader military leaders trying to advise political leaders who 1031 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,920 Speaker 7: aren't very good. And I don't think that tactic's going 1032 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 7: to work. But that's exactly what they're hoping. And now 1033 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 7: they're going to go for the oil angle of it 1034 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 7: and just cut everything off. They still have their submarines, 1035 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 7: and those submarines can mine the straits. They're little mini subs. 1036 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: You know, And I would say for the time being, anywhere. 1037 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 1: For the time being, Gary, I said earlier, you know, 1038 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: could you float some dummy ships to the horror move 1039 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 1: straight and find out where the missiles are coming from, 1040 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 1: whether it's the who these of the Iranians and hit 1041 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: those military installations. I know that's going on already, not 1042 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 1: the dummy ship concept that I sort of randomly pulled 1043 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: out of my sphinter, but the idea that any place 1044 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: they can find where missiles can be launched, they are 1045 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: going to be attacked. So at some point they won't 1046 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: be able to launch missiles anymore. How long that's going 1047 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:05,960 Speaker 1: to take remains to be seen. But in terms of 1048 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 1: the Iranian military, it'll take a little bit more time. 1049 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 1: But look how much progress they've made in two weeks. 1050 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm blowing up all the Iranian military boats. How many 1051 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: have they gotten so far? Forty including some subs. They 1052 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,840 Speaker 1: need the boat to look to deploy the mines that 1053 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 1: might be deployed. And I haven't read any reports yet, 1054 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 1: Gary that they have deployed mines in the Strait of Hormones. 1055 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 1: Yet something tells me that might be widely reported if 1056 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 1: it started to happen, but you have to have the 1057 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: ability to do it in order to make good on 1058 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 1: the threat. So every single day we move forward, and 1059 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 1: every time we made more inroads against the Iranians, the 1060 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,160 Speaker 1: less likely is they will be able to launch any 1061 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 1: one of those types of attacks. And so fully very soon, 1062 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 1: being prayerful and optimistic that we'll reach that point in time. 1063 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: But you're right, these things tend to be a lot 1064 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: more complicated to take a hell of a lot longer 1065 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 1: than they normally anticipate. And here's one for you, Gary's 1066 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 1: we part company and ending the break the clock, I 1067 00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: believe is wanting on the War Powers Act, which gives 1068 01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 1: them sixty days plus an additional thirty or then you 1069 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 1: got to pull the troops out. That's where we are 1070 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 1: at least under the War Powers resolution. TikTok TikTok. Can 1071 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 1: it be done within that period of time? We have 1072 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,960 Speaker 1: to keep our popcorn out and pray. 1073 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 3: For the best. 1074 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Appreciated Gary, as always, have a wonderful week, my friend 1075 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 1: six forty seven. Right now, if you five KERR CD 1076 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 1: talk station. Now, if you are tired of that crack 1077 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 1: dull concrete flooring that the. 1078 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 3: Seat the talk station. 1079 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 1: Six fifty two if fifty five per CD talk station 1080 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: pretty Monday. Yes, my summarin a friend Mike, who send 1081 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: me a message. The littoral combat ships are the ones 1082 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 1: that we're going to send there because they do mind 1083 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: detection and removal. Perhaps you said, he's perhaps see them 1084 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 1: in the Gulf shortly if they start putting mines in 1085 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 1: the waters, I imagine. So like the USS Cincinnati I 1086 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: talked to the commander of the US Cincinnati describe as 1087 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 1: a training vessel for the most part, but one of 1088 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: many we've got. Thank you, Mike, and thanks for your service. 1089 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 1: All right, which direction is Tehran gonna go? Apparently they 1090 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 1: don't want to consult Donald Trump with the appointment of 1091 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:10,160 Speaker 1: the new top cleric. Which does anybody think a Muslim 1092 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,840 Speaker 1: country would agree to letting Donald Trump determine or have 1093 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: they say in you the new top cleric is seems unlikely, 1094 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 1: And of course that's not the direction Iran went. The 1095 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: other day they appointed Mojtaba Kameni, son of the recently 1096 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 1: dead Ayatola Ali Kameni. Hey's the new supreme leader. And 1097 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 1: all the experts are saying this is a signal that 1098 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 1: Tehran is knocking to back down. It's a hardliner selection, 1099 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,960 Speaker 1: and the hardliners now remain in control. With this guy, 1100 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: he's fifty six years old, expected to take what is 1101 01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: described as a confrontational stance toward the West. According to 1102 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 1: some of the experts, one guy, director of Middle East 1103 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 1: and North American program called Chatham House. Doesn't mean anything 1104 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 1: to me, but he suggests this is the continuation of 1105 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 1: the same old strategy, repression at home and resistance internationally. 1106 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Revolutionary guard in the Iranian army that will be the 1107 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: revolutionary guard. I believe the ones that were beating down 1108 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 1: and murdering protesters, plus the Iranian lady, have already pledged 1109 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 1: allegiance to the new leader. Now here's where the vendetta 1110 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,479 Speaker 1: part comes in. Memories are long, and if your dad 1111 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 1: as well as members of your family have been killed 1112 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 1: on these by these Americans or Israeli attacked, you might 1113 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: have a vendetta or a rather large chip on your shoulder. So, 1114 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 1: in addition to his father being killed at the beginning 1115 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: of the US Israeli campaign, this guy also lost his mother, wife, 1116 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 1: and son in strikes. Do you expect moderation from this 1117 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 1: guy in any way, shape or form. Israel already pointed out, 1118 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: we're going to go after whoever the new Supreme Leader is. 1119 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 1: Question remains whether that's actually going to be accomplished. Kept 1120 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 1: a low profile mostly he is closely tied to the 1121 01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:01,120 Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard, where he served during the nineteen eighty eighty 1122 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 1: eight Iran Iraq War. Revolutionary Guard paid a central role 1123 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 1: in repressing domestic opposition, so he's friendly to the oppressors 1124 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: in Iran. And this is kind of funny. Wall Street 1125 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: General reporting that this guy's ascendance marks the first hereditary 1126 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,760 Speaker 1: transfer of the position of Supreme Leader, you know, like 1127 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: when you have a king and the king passes along 1128 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the throne to the next heir in line. Yeah, they 1129 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 1: don't go for that, apparently, I said the founders of 1130 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,800 Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic denounced when they overthrew the monarchy in 1131 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,880 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. Yeah, the Shaw right, that is a 1132 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 1: bloodline succession. They said they thought passing on power to 1133 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: ones child was un Islamic. Well, I guess they're not 1134 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 1: looking at the mirror on this one. And the designation 1135 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 1: as Supreme Leader described as a lifetime appointment, so at 1136 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 1: least for the time being. The guy moj Tama Kamani. 1137 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 1: What are people doing? Do you think Bobby's doing? Over 1138 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: and under? How long this guy's around? 1139 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 3: Joe? 1140 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 1: Is that betting site taking bets on that one? I imagine? 1141 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 1: So what's just the name of that site, Joe? They 1142 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: take bets on almost anything. Cashi Okay, place your bets, 1143 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:22,480 Speaker 1: don't go away. After the top of the air news, 1144 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Sarah Wolf Ax that Tax Ohio 1145 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: apparently had a meeting with viveg Ramaswami.

Thank you so much for having me. 1163 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 1: And one of the greatest things I think about your 1164 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 1: website is the fact page answers to your question the 1165 01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: questions which pop up all the time. Now you know, 1166 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: I will tell you upfront, Sarah. Conceptually, you know, just 1167 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 1: sort of looking at it. I love the idea of 1168 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 1: limiting property taxes. There are other states who've done that 1169 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 1: and they've been able to succeed in doing it. So 1170 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 1: how come we can't have that here in Ohio. The 1171 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: retort from that is, oh my god, the you know, 1172 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 1: income tax is going to have to go up through 1173 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 1: the roof, or sale tax is going to have to 1174 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 1: go up in the roof. Obviously, there needs to be 1175 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 1: a replacement for the mechanism for funding like local fire 1176 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,640 Speaker 1: schools and all that. And people think it's all going 1177 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,960 Speaker 1: to get shut down. So I've always viewed this as 1178 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity to force the representatives and senators in the 1179 01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 1: state about how to actually do something and come up 1180 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: with solutions. I mean, insofar as school funding is concerned, Sarah. 1181 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: You know what, I know it that Supreme Court here 1182 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 1: and know how declared the school funding mechanism is unconstitutional, 1183 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 1: and here we are decades later with no change. I 1184 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 1: don't know how that can be brought about, but exactly, 1185 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, just turning to the school issue alone, Sarah, 1186 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,720 Speaker 1: what is it going to look like if there are 1187 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,000 Speaker 1: enough signatures, this is on the ballot and people vote 1188 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: for it. 1189 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 8: What about the school Yeah? 1190 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Well, first of all, we don't have to 1191 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 4: touch a single teacher anything to do with the classroom 1192 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 4: if we just get rid of some of this floated administration. 1193 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,880 Speaker 4: I mean, we've got superintendents making three and four hundred 1194 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 4: thousand dollars a year, and not just superintendents, but you 1195 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 4: can go to gov salaries dot Com and look up 1196 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 4: there's like an army of administrators, compliance officers. They're all 1197 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 4: making six figures and they never set foot in the classroom. 1198 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 4: So we can start there and never touch a single teacher. 1199 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 4: But that's this is why it matters who our next 1200 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 4: governor is, whether the amendment passes are not. And what 1201 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 4: I wanted to talk to you about is we did 1202 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 4: get a meeting with the Vic Ramaswami and it went 1203 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 4: really really well. 1204 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to pivot over to that. I 1205 01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: just want to the more confounding issues are really how 1206 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: is it going to look if the property tax because 1207 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 1: it does impact so many areas of funding. What is 1208 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,600 Speaker 1: the solution going to be? But we can pivot over 1209 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 1: to the Rama Swaman and what his reaction was to 1210 01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 1: this concept is he embraced the idea of eliminating it. 1211 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 1: Is he like it sounds good? But what did he say? 1212 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 4: Well, he was he was very encouraging. Well, first of all, 1213 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 4: we got the meeting not through any politician or the 1214 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 4: Central Committee, but it was entirely through the grassroots. Means 1215 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,600 Speaker 4: my friend and she's a great patriot, Lindacaddle. She's been 1216 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 4: facilitating these meetings with the VEC and the grassroots Conservatives 1217 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 4: and there's a lot of them. And I only had 1218 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,040 Speaker 4: a few minutes to sort of introduce him at that 1219 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 4: meeting with everybody to our cause. But I wasn't able 1220 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 4: to lay out three points that everybody needs to know 1221 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 4: about our movement. One, property taxes in Ohio are so 1222 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,360 Speaker 4: much worse than any politician or the news are going 1223 01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 4: to say. You've probably heard this thirty percent number. Taxes 1224 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 4: went up thirty percent for a lot of people. It 1225 01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 4: was fifty sixty seventy two hundred and four hundred percent 1226 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 4: double and triple increases in twenty twenty three for about 1227 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,200 Speaker 4: a third of the homeowners. And that's mostly a little 1228 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 4: moderate to low income neighborhood, so it's really bad. And 1229 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,600 Speaker 4: then the second thing that I told him was that 1230 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 4: our petition didn't come out of nowhere. For years, we've 1231 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,440 Speaker 4: been trying to get reform passed and the state legislature 1232 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 4: refused to act. And we always get asked that, well, 1233 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 4: why did you go right to a polishment, why, you know, 1234 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 4: start with no taxes on seniors or coming up, And well, 1235 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 4: we tried that and the state just played the fiddle 1236 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,360 Speaker 4: while help ownership burns of the ground. And then finally 1237 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,599 Speaker 4: the third one, and this is important, you can sign 1238 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,760 Speaker 4: the petition and not vote and abolish property taxes. There's 1239 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 4: two things going on here. You know, a lot of 1240 01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 4: people are signing, you know, even we've got the county 1241 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,719 Speaker 4: employees to sign, just to get it on the ballot 1242 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,839 Speaker 4: and let the people decide how they're going to be governed. 1243 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,680 Speaker 4: And so we need four hundred and thirteen thousand signatures. 1244 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:10,759 Speaker 4: What have we got a million? 1245 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 5: Right? 1246 01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:12,000 Speaker 8: You know? 1247 01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 4: So just please sign it to get it on the 1248 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 4: ballot and stand with the people. And you already gave 1249 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,320 Speaker 4: the website Axohio, tex find o where to sign. 1250 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,240 Speaker 1: So did v vic Ronaldsomy address some of the concerns 1251 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 1: I think legitimate concerns like, well, what happens if the 1252 01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 1: ones you know, how are how our schools going to 1253 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,879 Speaker 1: get find out? What about my local police and fire department, 1254 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,560 Speaker 1: all the folks that rely on that. So did he 1255 01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: have anything to say about the devil and the details 1256 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: if I mean boil it down to something like that. 1257 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 6: Yes, we so we talked. 1258 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 4: We've told them we need his help not just with 1259 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 4: property taxes, but just with the whole way of thinking 1260 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 4: in Columbus. If you notice everything that comes out against 1261 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 4: our meeting, I mean, I'm sorry against our movement with 1262 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 4: abolishing property taxes. 1263 01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 6: It's all about how it affects. 1264 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 4: The government with no acknowledgment about what's already happened to 1265 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 4: the people. I mean, one guy was saying, oh, property taxes. 1266 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,599 Speaker 4: You know, it's it's one leg of the three legged 1267 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,799 Speaker 4: stool of state funding. You know, we can't even afford 1268 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,240 Speaker 4: a three legged stool because of the property taxes. You've 1269 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 4: got to get on that side of the equation. And 1270 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 4: the other one is there'll be a hole in the 1271 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 4: state budget that we can't fill. Well, we got pretty 1272 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,760 Speaker 4: much a shotgun blast through our finances. We need to 1273 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:31,560 Speaker 4: start on that side of the equation, something that's affordable, 1274 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 4: and then you can talk about what services that buy. 1275 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:39,679 Speaker 1: But this starves the problem, forcing them to make cuts 1276 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: that you and I would advocate for all the time 1277 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 1: and have been screaming about the size of government for years. 1278 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 6: So this is absolutely in the red state. 1279 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,400 Speaker 4: And he seemed very surprised by that that in a 1280 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:57,639 Speaker 4: red state, this big government beast has occurred in Ohio, 1281 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,160 Speaker 4: and he was he was, he seemed very surprising. And 1282 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 4: and the fact that we were shut out, I mean, 1283 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 4: you know that our current governor wouldn't even meet with us, 1284 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 4: and he had he had that tax, the property tax, 1285 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 4: the force tax, force whatever it was we caught to 1286 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 4: stop the petitions working group, but there were no loveowners 1287 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:20,880 Speaker 4: on it, regular homeowners. You know, you've got to talk 1288 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,840 Speaker 4: to the people. You've got to find out what the people. 1289 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:24,720 Speaker 4: And that's the kind of relationship that we want with 1290 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,720 Speaker 4: our next governor. Because whether he did not sign his 1291 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,680 Speaker 4: time this time, he did say to keep going. He 1292 01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 4: didn't insult us or try to talk us out of 1293 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,559 Speaker 4: any of it. And everything he does, you know, obviously 1294 01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 4: he's running for governor and so he has to consider things. 1295 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 4: Every movie mixed from every side. 1296 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:42,280 Speaker 8: But he's very. 1297 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,000 Speaker 4: Encouraging on that front. And I don't know he still 1298 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,640 Speaker 4: might sign, But I think he was surprised and he 1299 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 4: was taking notes. He had his staff there taking notes, 1300 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:53,720 Speaker 4: and he kept saying, did you get that? 1301 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 1: Did you get that? 1302 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,719 Speaker 4: So this was the first time I think you heard 1303 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,880 Speaker 4: the whole story from our side. He's only been hearing 1304 01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 4: from the politicians about it. 1305 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 1: Well, good, I'm glad it was willing to meet with you. 1306 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 1: I'm glad at least he was. You know, at least 1307 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: it braces some measure of reform along property taxes. You know, 1308 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 1: the idea of that some senior could get foreclosed out 1309 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 1: of their home after owning it. You know, I mean, 1310 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: this is the real big insult in the room. It's 1311 01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 1: like the greatest illustration. Are you telling me you're going 1312 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to everything you want? 1313 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1314 01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 1: Gone? 1315 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,439 Speaker 4: Everything he worked for in the act that we're complained 1316 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,000 Speaker 4: about a cable bill. You know, this is our homes 1317 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 4: and everything. So I mean a lot of people say, well, 1318 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,640 Speaker 4: we don't need a signature, and he can't veto it. 1319 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:35,960 Speaker 4: It's an amendment. But I think it does matter who 1320 01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:41,400 Speaker 4: the next governor is, because if it passes, we don't 1321 01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 4: want I won't going back in history the Boston Tea Party, right, 1322 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,639 Speaker 4: what happened after the Boston Tea Party. The English passed 1323 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 4: the Intolerable Acts. You know, they were being punitive, and 1324 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:56,040 Speaker 4: we don't want a governor or a government that's going 1325 01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 4: to punish us for the people rising up and fixing 1326 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 4: this problem out. Well, that's the one thing, and then 1327 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,800 Speaker 4: if it doesn't task. We did talk at length about 1328 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,680 Speaker 4: the reforms. John Kusnik was there. Oh, he gives a 1329 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 4: barnburner if you ever want to have on your show. 1330 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 4: He's Lake County commission and a tax professor. So he 1331 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 4: was talking about some of the other reforms. Now we're 1332 01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,479 Speaker 4: seeing abolishment through to the end. But if it doesn't happen, 1333 01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 4: we want the next best thing. And the good thing 1334 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 4: about our petition is now that we've gone for all 1335 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,720 Speaker 4: the marvels, some of these reforms that we've proposed in 1336 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 4: the past were looking pretty good to them. 1337 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, this is hard to go for. 1338 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 1: This is why I like what you were doing. We've 1339 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 1: been complaining about a few years. They haven't done anything 1340 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,560 Speaker 1: w or DeWine veto the provisions in the budget that 1341 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: might have addressed some of it. To it to throw 1342 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 1: it over to this tax reform group. I'm not quite 1343 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 1: sure what happened there.

You are obviously 1347 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,639 Speaker 1: at grassroots Organization's a loosely knit group of people who've 1348 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,639 Speaker 1: gotten together to put signatures out there or to get 1349 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 1: signatures for the ballot initiative. Is there going to be 1350 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 1: and do you see an organized, moneyed opposition to your efforts? 1351 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 1: I imagine the teachers Union, yes, but who else? 1352 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,000 Speaker 4: Oh, they're all going to come out. Yeah, yeah, there 1353 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 4: were with using our tax dollars. Of course, that's that's 1354 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 4: the kick in the head about it. You know, they're 1355 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna come out with commercials and everything like this. 1356 01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 4: But don't underestimate the people. I mean, I went down 1357 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 4: to get signatures when taxes were property taxes were due 1358 01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 4: down at the county building and people were running up 1359 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,960 Speaker 4: to us.

That was like a signature 1361 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:50,160 Speaker 4: a minute we were getting and people were just all 1362 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 4: fired up, and it's all it's both sides of the aisle, 1363 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 4: which is a beautiful thing.

The goal get one 1370 01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,599 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty percent of those because some of them 1371 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 1: aren't always good.

You know, it's 1384 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,960 Speaker 8: been a real tough week since the last time I've 1385 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,680 Speaker 8: been on because of the violence, you know, in the 1386 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:03,800 Speaker 8: city of Cincinnati. If I'm right, eleven people shot, three 1387 01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 8: dead since I've been on the radio the last time. 1388 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,880 Speaker 8: And that does not include Brian Thomas, the mass shooting 1389 01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,799 Speaker 8: that happened the day before. We're talking twenty people's shots 1390 01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 8: right over an eight day period of time, pretty easily, 1391 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:26,760 Speaker 8: and four homicides or three deaths, three deaths. And what's 1392 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,200 Speaker 8: soding about the violence is you see, whether it's Madisonville 1393 01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,560 Speaker 8: or OTR or Avondale, because I hear the top of 1394 01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,760 Speaker 8: the hour a young woman was shot in the neck. 1395 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:42,040 Speaker 8: You just you hear a deafening silence from our city leaders. 1396 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 8: It's almost as if they just know these are the 1397 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 8: things that are going to happen. It's not normal, Brian Thomas. 1398 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 8: For twenty people from the mass shooting, then the eleven 1399 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 8: people's different areas of our fifty two neighborhoods shot between 1400 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 8: the last time I was on the radio and today, 1401 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 8: and all of those victims as I can see them, 1402 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,800 Speaker 8: are all Black Americans as I can see them, right, 1403 01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,080 Speaker 8: I don't I don't believe this. And maybe the FOP 1404 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 8: president will call in and there was a different victim, 1405 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 8: But I don't believe that that out of those shootings 1406 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 8: there was a white victim, and most of I could 1407 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 8: probably project that the people who were doing the shooting 1408 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 8: were also Black Americans. How can we have that kind 1409 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 8: of level of violence happening in our city and have 1410 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 8: a tone death mayor and nine members of council and 1411 01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,560 Speaker 8: an administration. I know that right in front of the 1412 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 8: city Hall there's a mural that says black lives matter, Right, 1413 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,240 Speaker 8: I know that they project that they care right. But 1414 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,680 Speaker 8: but when they're passing resolutions about what's going on in 1415 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 8: Israel and what's going on and Iran or whatever they're 1416 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,920 Speaker 8: doing about what's going on in the world, when you 1417 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,439 Speaker 8: see this level of violence, meaning I don't want to downplay, 1418 01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 8: my heart goes out to all seven servicemen and women 1419 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,760 Speaker 8: who lost their lives in this conflict that we're in, right, 1420 01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 8: but we had, we're gonna have just as many or 1421 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 8: more murders, right, most likely in the city of Cincinnati 1422 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 8: this year, most likely than the entire conflict in Irani 1423 01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,759 Speaker 8: of US citizens, Meaning there might be seventy or eighty 1424 01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,800 Speaker 8: murders in Cincinnati this year, right, I would predict that 1425 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 8: they're not going to be seventy or eighty servicemen or 1426 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,200 Speaker 8: women in this conflict. And every death and every life 1427 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,679 Speaker 8: is it matters. I'm not downplaying any of the deaths. 1428 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:38,120 Speaker 8: I'm saying that we are in a war in our 1429 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 8: city streets, and we do not have a council or 1430 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 8: a mayor or any body in this city administration that 1431 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,759 Speaker 8: seems to care, are willing to put together a plan 1432 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,320 Speaker 8: that they're willing to be held accountable to to our public. 1433 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:58,080 Speaker 8: No press conferences know nothing is just another black person 1434 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,840 Speaker 8: male or female then in one of our fifty two neighborhoods. 1435 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,599 Speaker 8: And yes, it really insenses me that I don't hear 1436 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,560 Speaker 8: anything from the leadership in the city of Cincinnati. I 1437 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 8: don't want to hear them ever come forth with black 1438 01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,240 Speaker 8: lives matter, because they don't. To them, they do not 1439 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,080 Speaker 8: care right. All they care about are what are the 1440 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,479 Speaker 8: kind of photo ops we have to have? And if 1441 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,200 Speaker 8: that doesn't suit them, the politicians are not going to 1442 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,960 Speaker 8: show up. If they can't use the death in some 1443 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:28,160 Speaker 8: kind of way to project something that's related to them politically, 1444 01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:29,840 Speaker 8: they're not going to say a thing about it. 1445 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 1: Brand there is the answer to the question. I think, Christopher, 1446 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:33,720 Speaker 1: you hit it out of the park. 1447 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 3: On that. 1448 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 1: We'll pause.

But what 1458 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 8: I want to do is put a bow this so 1459 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,800 Speaker 8: that you're listening audience, they understand that I might know 1460 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,440 Speaker 8: what I'm talking about as it relates to the politicians. 1461 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 8: Having been the vice mayor, having been the chair of 1462 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,560 Speaker 8: of of Law and Public Safety for the City of Cincinnati. 1463 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 8: Remember when there was an attack in the in the 1464 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,559 Speaker 8: middle of downtown where you had members of council holding 1465 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:28,679 Speaker 8: press conferences all over the place saying they wanted somebody 1466 01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:33,760 Speaker 8: white arrested.

They were 1474 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,160 Speaker 8: demanding this and demanding that. I'm saying, we had a 1475 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:04,679 Speaker 8: mass shooting of nine. You know, we've got almost eleven 1476 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,519 Speaker 8: people shot to this. The last time I've been on 1477 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:10,920 Speaker 8: the radio, three did across our fifty two neighborhoods, which 1478 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,400 Speaker 8: which is an absolute tragedy, and my heart goes out 1479 01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,439 Speaker 8: to all of their families. But I'm asking why do 1480 01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:20,960 Speaker 8: they not have press conferences today on that? Because they 1481 01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:22,960 Speaker 8: we could not get rid of them off of our 1482 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,720 Speaker 8: TV when it was related to the incident in the 1483 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 8: fight that occurred in downtown didn't. 1484 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 1: Maybe Christopher, because the one in downtown Cincinnati, the resulting 1485 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: in Holly getting that beatown on beat down on video. 1486 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 1: By the way, she's going to be on the program 1487 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: coming up after the top of the hour News at 1488 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:40,280 Speaker 1: eight to h five. Because it made national news. Everyone 1489 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 1: was looking at the city of Cincinnati and watching those videos, going, 1490 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, in Heaven, look at how terrible that is. 1491 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 1: Those people are getting brutally beaten and don't seem to 1492 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,240 Speaker 1: have really done anything. Oh look there's Holly rendering aid 1493 01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:53,080 Speaker 1: to one of the victims. 1494 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 3: Oh my god, she. 1495 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 1: Got cold cocked in the face by a man or 1496 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,800 Speaker 1: three times her side. You can't hide from that. They 1497 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 1: were forced to come out now to address it, and 1498 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,439 Speaker 1: yet any given weekend or week as the case, maybe 1499 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 1: we get well loving people shot to a few people 1500 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,200 Speaker 1: stab some of them dead. That's not worthy of national intention. 1501 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,639 Speaker 1: That's just business as usual at least crime and usual 1502 01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. 1503 01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 8: I think you drew it very beautifully there. And at 1504 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:19,479 Speaker 8: the cherry on the top is when we had a 1505 01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:24,519 Speaker 8: judge put a fifty thousand dollars right on a guy 1506 01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:30,000 Speaker 8: who shot nine people at one time, one in critical condition, 1507 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:35,280 Speaker 8: who happens to be an African American males judge and 1508 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 8: nobody understood it. And that's why the ATF that's why 1509 01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,479 Speaker 8: the FBI, that's why the US Attorney for the United 1510 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,240 Speaker 8: States of America said they were going to file federally, 1511 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 8: and listen, dude, you're not going anywhere, because if he 1512 01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,559 Speaker 8: had if that, if that, if the US Attorney had 1513 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:55,880 Speaker 8: not done that, they knew that the person who had 1514 01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 8: done a mass shooting would have walked out of the 1515 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,679 Speaker 8: door the next day. And so that's what's so crazy 1516 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,719 Speaker 8: about this many The last time I was on the show, 1517 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,160 Speaker 8: I didn't know that there was going to be a 1518 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 8: fifty thousand dollars bard. I hadn't discussed it because it 1519 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 8: wasn't out there right. That happened after I got off 1520 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 8: the radio on Monday of last week. So the cherry 1521 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 8: on top of all of this is we have a 1522 01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 8: judicial system that seems not to care about black people 1523 01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 8: or white people who illegally have guns that are shooting 1524 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 8: people in our neighborhood. They're willing to put these crazy 1525 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 8: bonds on them and just say, hey, you can go 1526 01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,720 Speaker 8: back home. That puts terror in those neighborhoods because we 1527 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,559 Speaker 8: know who the shooters are. And so somebody shoots nine 1528 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 8: people and grandma sees them walking down the street the 1529 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 8: next day. What do you think that does to the community. 1530 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 8: Brian thommins, not a. 1531 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 1: Positive look there, Christopher Smithing, And do you think a 1532 01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,240 Speaker 1: judge like I guess, I'm trying to contemplate the idea 1533 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,640 Speaker 1: that this individual might represent a greater harm to the 1534 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:59,599 Speaker 1: black community. Should a judge say, huh, I'm a black man, judge, 1535 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 1: I can I'm concerned about the black community. Therefore, I'm 1536 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:03,840 Speaker 1: gonna put one hundred thousand dollars bond on this guy 1537 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,240 Speaker 1: because he may very well go back home where he lives, 1538 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 1: let's say, hypothetically in a black community. But if he 1539 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 1: lived in a white community. I'm gonna only put a 1540 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars, but that will be a racist at 1541 01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:16,240 Speaker 1: Christopher And honestly, I'm trying to struggle with the idea 1542 01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 1: that that might happen that way. 1543 01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:22,960 Speaker 8: I'm just saying, a mass shooting of nine people where 1544 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 8: the victims were screaming out for justice. Everybody there, you know, 1545 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 8: the super super super supermajority of people there that were 1546 01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 8: there with this. You other had just there to have 1547 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 8: a good turn. Yeah, right, as somebody has spraying bullets 1548 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 8: into the crowd. The terror of that is insane, just 1549 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,840 Speaker 8: the terror of it. The people are gonna need counseling 1550 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,280 Speaker 8: after something like that. I just was shocked by the 1551 01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 8: bond and I was glad that there was an adult 1552 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,320 Speaker 8: in the room the federal government that said no, no, no, 1553 01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 8: you're not going anywhere where. I know we're going to 1554 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:56,479 Speaker 8: go to break And what I want to talk about 1555 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,799 Speaker 8: I'm gonna tee it up is the Jesse Jackson funeral 1556 01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 8: because that happened there that the family has been speaking 1557 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 8: about publicly, but the news is not covering, and that 1558 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,719 Speaker 8: is their concern about their funeral of their father, Jesse 1559 01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 8: Jackson Junior. Turned into a political rally, which is something 1560 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:19,759 Speaker 8: he articulated to them prior to his father service. Please 1561 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 8: don't come here with your political speeches. Right, and if 1562 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,719 Speaker 8: you heard what Jesse Jackson Junior said, because you're listening 1563 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,640 Speaker 8: to the audience, might not know this because it's not 1564 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:31,240 Speaker 8: being reported. He said, none of the three former presidents 1565 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:35,120 Speaker 8: who spoke at my father's funeral knew him personally at all. 1566 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,400 Speaker 1: Right, and Trump was not one of them. You got Biden, 1567 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,040 Speaker 1: you got Obama, you got Clinton. Donald Trump wasn't there. 1568 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 1: And yet Jesse Jackson Jr. Slammed the other three the world. 1569 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,680 Speaker 1: We'll get to that with Christopher Smitheman coming up next. 1570 01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 1: I want you to experience comfort and reliability because I 1571 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,840 Speaker 1: want you to rely on Zimmer heating and air conditioning. 1572 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 3: Which Beef Talk Station. 1573 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,639 Speaker 1: Seven forty here fifty five KRI City Talk Station, Bryan 1574 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,679 Speaker 1: Thomas with Christopher Smitheman, what we call the E Smith event. 1575 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:00,360 Speaker 3: Uh. 1576 01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 1: James wanted to pivot over to the Jesse Jackson funeral, 1577 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,120 Speaker 1: the memorial, that service that was being done. I would 1578 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,680 Speaker 1: say the crowd there, Christopher, from my observations in the 1579 01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,640 Speaker 1: video that I saw a largely or at least predominantly 1580 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,320 Speaker 1: black crowd. I thought one of the more interesting elements 1581 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 1: before you get to the Jesse Jackson juniors slamming the 1582 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,839 Speaker 1: three former presidents that were there, Biden, Obama and Clinton. Biden, 1583 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,680 Speaker 1: I think kind of stepped with it. Speaking to a 1584 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 1: group of largely black people. He told the crowd he 1585 01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 1: was a hell of a lot smarter than most of you. 1586 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:30,759 Speaker 3: Wow. 1587 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 1: Wow, I don't think he has any self awareness, Christopher. 1588 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 1: But go ahead and your comments, sir. 1589 01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 8: I just you know, I've been watching, trying to watch 1590 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 8: MSNBC and CNN just to see if they were going 1591 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:52,200 Speaker 8: to illuminate what Jesse Jackson Junior's reflections were about his 1592 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 8: father's memorial, and they have it, and so what you 1593 01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 8: see is this what what what I want to call 1594 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 8: this black bout of information. You know, in politics and 1595 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 8: on our news stations, is not just what they talk about, 1596 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:08,760 Speaker 8: it's what they don't talk about. And so most people 1597 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:10,880 Speaker 8: are a lot of people listening this morning might not 1598 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,879 Speaker 8: know that Jesse Jackson Junior had some very pointed comments 1599 01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 8: about the politicians that spoke at his father's funeral. He said, 1600 01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 8: I told them before they were coming, don't make my 1601 01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 8: father's funeral about politics. He also stated that the three 1602 01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 8: presidents who spoke never knew his father, and he said 1603 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 8: that his father spent a lifetime really fighting against the 1604 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 8: politicians and their public policies. These are these are this 1605 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 8: is what he's he's communicating, and he's speaking on behalf 1606 01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:48,200 Speaker 8: of the entire family and his mom. He acknowledged his mother, 1607 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 8: who was there somewhere in his remarks, and what he 1608 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 8: was basically saying here is and he said, it doesn't 1609 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,840 Speaker 8: matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or an independent. 1610 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 8: You know, my father was about public policy, not about 1611 01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:06,320 Speaker 8: your party and what you've done here, which he wasn't disappointed, 1612 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 8: But what he was articulating is you came and made 1613 01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 8: a political rally out of my father's memorial and out 1614 01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 8: of our pain, suffering and death of our father. Remember, 1615 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 8: this is a man who was a grandfather, who was 1616 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:25,799 Speaker 8: a father who we loved, right, who fought injustices in America. 1617 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,679 Speaker 8: We thought you were going to come and tell his story, 1618 01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:32,640 Speaker 8: not tell your story. And so I think it was 1619 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 8: a very point of comment, and it was a tee 1620 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,720 Speaker 8: off of what a lot of politicians do. And I 1621 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 8: have to tell you, it meant a lot to me 1622 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 8: in this sense, because I buried a spouse and I 1623 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 8: wouldn't want anybody you were there. I wouldn't want anybody 1624 01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:50,320 Speaker 8: coming and being political at my wife's funeral. It's not 1625 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:53,960 Speaker 8: the time, it's not the place. Right. The governor spoke 1626 01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,880 Speaker 8: at Pamela's funeral, he didn't make it about politics at all. 1627 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 8: And so my point is that the family has set 1628 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 8: a message this week that it seems like the news 1629 01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 8: is under reporting that he was very concerned about them 1630 01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,320 Speaker 8: turning his father's funeral into their own personal political rally, 1631 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:13,600 Speaker 8: which he did not like. 1632 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1633 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:18,919 Speaker 1: Quote, but these ongoing services are welcome to all Democrat, Republican, 1634 01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,920 Speaker 1: liberal and conservative, right wing, left wing because his life 1635 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,040 Speaker 1: is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what 1636 01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,200 Speaker 1: it means to be an American. I'm glad he went up. 1637 01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:29,400 Speaker 1: He stood up and said that that's not really something 1638 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,679 Speaker 1: I would have expected out of Jesse Jackson Jr. 1639 01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,479 Speaker 8: Well, the point is that he's saying, I'm here, He's 1640 01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:39,960 Speaker 8: a grieving son, and he's saying, listen, guys, this wasn't 1641 01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,439 Speaker 8: the time or place for you to come and make 1642 01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:48,280 Speaker 8: your political speeches. I'm uncomfortable with it. And Democrats are 1643 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:53,560 Speaker 8: so used to going to African American churches listen and 1644 01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:57,640 Speaker 8: giving these types of political speeches at the end of 1645 01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 8: the service, and so many black of Americans are tired 1646 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 8: of it. I know I'm tired of it. Speaking for myself, 1647 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:08,439 Speaker 8: I'm tired of politicians showing up to our black churches 1648 01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 8: during election time saying I want your vote, I need 1649 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 8: your vote, I need your support. But when you and 1650 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:18,559 Speaker 8: I are talking about eleven people shot and nine shot 1651 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:23,000 Speaker 8: on the Sunday in a mass shooting prior to last Monday, 1652 01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:26,920 Speaker 8: and you hear really nothing of substance coming from the 1653 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,640 Speaker 8: nine members of council, the mayor, or the city administration. 1654 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:37,120 Speaker 8: But the Democratic Party uses Jesse Jackson Senior's funeral for 1655 01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:40,920 Speaker 8: a platform for them to make political pronouncements. So many 1656 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:44,040 Speaker 8: Black Americans are tired of it, and that is what 1657 01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,519 Speaker 8: you're starting to see. You're hearing Black Americans saying, we 1658 01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 8: want public policy. We don't care what your political affiliation is. 1659 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 8: We want you to deliver on what you said you 1660 01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:59,360 Speaker 8: were going to do. And Black Democrats and white Democrats 1661 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,680 Speaker 8: are not used to this discussion that we're having, and 1662 01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,160 Speaker 8: anytime a black American starts standing up for their own 1663 01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:10,559 Speaker 8: political independence, all of a sudden, we're not black anymore, 1664 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,840 Speaker 8: as Biden said, Yeah, all of a sudden, when you 1665 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,000 Speaker 8: get a mind of your own, all of a sudden, 1666 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 8: you're not black. You're an uncle Tom, You're a sellout. 1667 01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,960 Speaker 8: How could you not just vote for a Democrat because 1668 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:23,720 Speaker 8: I don't like that Democrat. I don't like what that 1669 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 8: Democrat has done. 1670 01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 1: And the ever growing rising tide of people who otherwise 1671 01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:33,799 Speaker 1: are Democrat leaning standing up and saying quit insulting Black 1672 01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,000 Speaker 1: people by telling us we're too dumb to get a 1673 01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:39,880 Speaker 1: photo ID. I mean, just one other tangent corollary. I 1674 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 1: am so pleased to hear that. More and more I've 1675 01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 1: been saying here on the fifty five Carrissey Morning Show, 1676 01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 1: expressing insult on behalf of my black friends, Like, how 1677 01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,280 Speaker 1: on the hell can you insult an entire race of 1678 01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:51,720 Speaker 1: people telling them they can't get a driver's license. They 1679 01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:53,840 Speaker 1: do it every damn day. You and I have talked 1680 01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:56,320 Speaker 1: about that here. On the terms of the NAACP voting, 1681 01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to be a member and show 1682 01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,120 Speaker 1: a photo ID in order to cast a vote for 1683 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:03,439 Speaker 1: President of the NAACP. Clearly you can manage that. So 1684 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:08,080 Speaker 1: a welcome, welcome, growing cry about stop saying that you 1685 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:09,639 Speaker 1: are insulting people. 1686 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 8: Well, what you're really hearing. And my father said this 1687 01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:17,280 Speaker 8: to me when I was elected the first time. And 1688 01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:19,400 Speaker 8: I think I've told you this privately, but he asked 1689 01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:21,639 Speaker 8: me to come to his study. He said one thing 1690 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,840 Speaker 8: to me. He said, look, son, I do not want 1691 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,000 Speaker 8: you to hide your intelligence. And what he was saying 1692 01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:29,880 Speaker 8: is I grew up and I was born in the 1693 01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 8: nineteen thirties, where when you were African American, if you 1694 01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:36,519 Speaker 8: had the answer and there was somebody right there, you 1695 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 8: couldn't upstagium. You had to act as if you didn't 1696 01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:42,640 Speaker 8: know the answer. Well, my father, with a doctorate in 1697 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:47,000 Speaker 8: organic chemistry from Howard University, a wonderful HBCU, was saying 1698 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,400 Speaker 8: to me, Look, the real fight, the real fight, Christopher, 1699 01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 8: is not hiding your intelligence, being comfortable in your own skin. 1700 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,280 Speaker 8: If you know the answer to the math problem, say it. 1701 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 8: If you ever understand the politics, say it. What you're 1702 01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 8: seeing is a new generation of African Americans who are 1703 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,400 Speaker 8: not their parents. We love our parents, We appreciate everything 1704 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:11,559 Speaker 8: they did. Everything Jesse Jackson had to sacrifice walking through 1705 01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,400 Speaker 8: back doors people assassinated in the sixties, standing right next 1706 01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:18,639 Speaker 8: to him, we appreciate the work that he did when 1707 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,519 Speaker 8: he was singing, we shall overcome. But now we're in 1708 01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 8: a new air, an error, where we are outside of 1709 01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:29,280 Speaker 8: some of this we shall overcome. And it's about economic empowerment. 1710 01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,920 Speaker 8: It's about owning things. It's about knowing who to vote for, 1711 01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,840 Speaker 8: not being tied to a political party. And what you're 1712 01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:39,320 Speaker 8: seeing is my generation is starting to take over because 1713 01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:43,240 Speaker 8: my mother's generation and Jesse Jackson's generation, and bless all 1714 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:45,920 Speaker 8: of their hearts are starting to pass away. And so 1715 01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 8: now as Jesse Jackson Junior is standing there, he's saying, 1716 01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,680 Speaker 8: I'm not my father, right, I'm his son, and I 1717 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:56,560 Speaker 8: understand America and the fabrics, and I understand all of 1718 01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:59,439 Speaker 8: the great progress we've made in this country. And what 1719 01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,240 Speaker 8: I want to hear to hear you talking about now 1720 01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 8: is public policy that helps our community, not just here 1721 01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:08,400 Speaker 8: up here dancing and shuffling and saying, oh, I just 1722 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,280 Speaker 8: want your vote because I'm a Democrat, and I really 1723 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:14,560 Speaker 8: don't have any answers to any of your serious problems. 1724 01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,320 Speaker 8: I just say I'm a Democrat and I want you 1725 01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,400 Speaker 8: to vote for me. I'm saying in Jesse Jackson Junior's 1726 01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:24,800 Speaker 8: comments to your listening audience, and it was a very 1727 01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,280 Speaker 8: important speech that he gave, and he would it was 1728 01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 8: a lightning rod speech to the Democratic Party. Don't come 1729 01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:34,160 Speaker 8: here with your madness anymore. And you're not gonna pimp 1730 01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:37,640 Speaker 8: out my dad and his death and our family for 1731 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:41,920 Speaker 8: your political advantage. You did something that was bad and 1732 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,560 Speaker 8: I'm going to tell the whole world about it. 1733 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:47,080 Speaker 1: Amen. Appreciate you bringing that topic to the fifty five 1734 01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 1: Case Morning Show listening audience, because you're right, with the 1735 01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 1: exception of a notable handful of conservative media outlets, you're 1736 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:56,400 Speaker 1: not hearing this any place else. So Christopher got you 1737 01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,200 Speaker 1: to thank for pointing out what was a brilliant point 1738 01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:01,920 Speaker 1: made by Jesse ja Junior.

I know you're thinking, well, it's time 1746 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,240 Speaker 1: for money, money with Brian James. We normally do it 1747 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,599 Speaker 1: at this time, but no, an interesting and positive development 1748 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:26,040 Speaker 1: this morning. Holly has returned to the fifty five KRC 1749 01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,639 Speaker 1: Morning Show. And I think all of my listening audience 1750 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:31,560 Speaker 1: is pretty darn familiar with who Holly is, but to 1751 01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 1: the extent you're not. It was August the last year. 1752 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,639 Speaker 1: We all recall the brutal, brutal beat down, the melee 1753 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:39,920 Speaker 1: that happened in downtown Cincinnati. People are being prosecuted for that, 1754 01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:42,840 Speaker 1: but the one most awful and heinous reality about that 1755 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,840 Speaker 1: was the video of seeing Holly get cold cocked in 1756 01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,599 Speaker 1: the face. Holly, welcome back to the morning show. It's 1757 01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:51,240 Speaker 1: a terrific time to have you on, considering the legislation's 1758 01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:53,760 Speaker 1: being proposed in Ohio in your name. But let me 1759 01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:56,600 Speaker 1: start by asking you how are you doing. I know 1760 01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:59,280 Speaker 1: you suffered some serious injuries and that I just wanted 1761 01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:01,040 Speaker 1: to get an update on New York on your condition. 1762 01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:06,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, thank you so much. I'm doing a lot better. 1763 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,400 Speaker 6: I still you know, I have some permanent brain damage 1764 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:14,680 Speaker 6: and I have some neurological issues that are probably going 1765 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:19,120 Speaker 6: to be permanent as well. I know, for the past 1766 01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 6: i want to say, eight months, at least three to 1767 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:25,680 Speaker 6: five times a week, I've been going to different doctors, specialists, 1768 01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 6: physical therapists, everything. I still, you know, suffer from migraines 1769 01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:39,040 Speaker 6: and chronic fatigue and just you know, put my words together, 1770 01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:44,240 Speaker 6: so memory issues. But I'm just I'm so glad to 1771 01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:48,639 Speaker 6: be alive, and I'm just glad to finally be healing 1772 01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:52,880 Speaker 6: and still be able to kind of advocate and bring 1773 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:56,680 Speaker 6: awareness to the reality of what happened to me was 1774 01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:00,439 Speaker 6: so preventable. And I think a lot of the crimes, violent, 1775 01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:06,640 Speaker 6: heinous crimes and murders are also preventable. And so with 1776 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,800 Speaker 6: Holly's law, I think other lawmakers really saw that and 1777 01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,360 Speaker 6: it kind of put a spotlight on, hey, what's going on, 1778 01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:17,960 Speaker 6: you know, especially not just Cincinnati, but I think it's 1779 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:22,200 Speaker 6: a it's an epidemic going on around the country where 1780 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:28,120 Speaker 6: you know, these violent criminals who repeatedly are you know, 1781 01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:32,200 Speaker 6: their rapists, and they're robbing people at gunpoint and all 1782 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:35,040 Speaker 6: this stuff, and they're being out with no bond or 1783 01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 6: maybe a three hundred dollars bond, and then while they're out, 1784 01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:41,880 Speaker 6: you know, on bond, a week later they go and 1785 01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,519 Speaker 6: do the same thing, and then it's like nobody is 1786 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:47,519 Speaker 6: really doing anything about it, and a lot of these 1787 01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:52,000 Speaker 6: cities holding the judges accountable, right, So that's kind of 1788 01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 6: been my thing I've been screaming from the rooftops is 1789 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,120 Speaker 6: why why were these people out? 1790 01:37:58,840 --> 01:37:59,040 Speaker 3: Why? 1791 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 6: Why did they happened? Not just to me, but why 1792 01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,200 Speaker 6: is it still happening all the time? Because if you 1793 01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 6: go to Hamilton County, I think Clerk of Courts or 1794 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:12,880 Speaker 6: whatever public record, look at these people's record. Not one 1795 01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,960 Speaker 6: of them was the first time offenders, and there was 1796 01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:19,840 Speaker 6: one guy who had forty had been arrested forty two 1797 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:22,640 Speaker 6: times for different things, and almost all of them have 1798 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 6: a violence of records. So that just comes to show that, 1799 01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,680 Speaker 6: you know, if the judges were doing their job, and 1800 01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:35,639 Speaker 6: I'm not saying all judges don't, but these specific judges 1801 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:40,640 Speaker 6: putting everyone's life at risk. You know, I look at 1802 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,639 Speaker 6: it as they're playing Russian Roulette with the innocent people, 1803 01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:47,000 Speaker 6: our lives, our loved ones, and we didn't sign up 1804 01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,880 Speaker 6: for this, and yet we had no voice and we 1805 01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,400 Speaker 6: had no say before and now we have a say, 1806 01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:57,240 Speaker 6: because I think so many people were outraged and they're like, no, no, no, no, 1807 01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,599 Speaker 6: you know, let's let's let's putting into this, let's figure 1808 01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,559 Speaker 6: out how So I think Holley's Act is is going 1809 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:08,160 Speaker 6: to be the first step in the right direction of accountability, well. 1810 01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:09,800 Speaker 1: One way of getting at the judges. And I think 1811 01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,639 Speaker 1: Holly's Act does just that, which it allows the Ohio 1812 01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:16,080 Speaker 1: Attorney General to appeal a judge's decision if the bail 1813 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,479 Speaker 1: seems too low, so the ag can independently look at it. 1814 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: And I mean nobody else has a position other than 1815 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,280 Speaker 1: the prosecutor make an argument in front of a judge. 1816 01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 1: And of course if it's a low bail, they maybe 1817 01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:28,680 Speaker 1: have ignored the prosecutor's request for a high bond or 1818 01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,960 Speaker 1: no bond. Then entered the Attorney General who can appeal 1819 01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,000 Speaker 1: that decision. So we do have some potential relief on that. 1820 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:35,639 Speaker 3: In this bill. 1821 01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:40,880 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, which I'm like, oh, that gives me goosebumps. Now, 1822 01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:44,040 Speaker 6: I truly believe that's going to save so many people's lives, 1823 01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:47,560 Speaker 6: you know, and I'm not just being dramatic about it, 1824 01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:51,320 Speaker 6: just truly, I mean, these people are they're murderers and 1825 01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:54,360 Speaker 6: they're the suducs and criminals during the drive buys and 1826 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:58,920 Speaker 6: everything else. And you know, I think that there should 1827 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:03,120 Speaker 6: be someone higher up than the judge saying, hey, wait 1828 01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:08,000 Speaker 6: a minute, no, this person has proven that they don't 1829 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,439 Speaker 6: play well with others. They can't be functioning members of society. 1830 01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:15,040 Speaker 6: They don't get to go out and you know, go 1831 01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:19,840 Speaker 6: hurt more people while they're also a waiting trial for 1832 01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,720 Speaker 6: already hurting someone. So you know, I'm just glad that 1833 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:27,840 Speaker 6: now somebody else with a voice of reason can be like, no, 1834 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,240 Speaker 6: they're gonna sit in jail and they're not going to 1835 01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:35,680 Speaker 6: keeping violent, you know, putting other people's lives at risk 1836 01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:39,040 Speaker 6: or killing them or whatever. So this is this is exciting. 1837 01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,919 Speaker 6: I think it's a we should all be very excited 1838 01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:47,240 Speaker 6: about this. And I DJ Swarring. Jen is the one. 1839 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:52,240 Speaker 6: He's the lawmaker, who the state representative who really has 1840 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:57,519 Speaker 6: just kind of put it all together and put himself 1841 01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:00,400 Speaker 6: out there and really has advocated hard for this. So 1842 01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:03,280 Speaker 6: I just want to say thank you to him and everyone. 1843 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:06,000 Speaker 6: You know, if you want the build to go through 1844 01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:10,360 Speaker 6: and you want your children to be safe, please call 1845 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:13,719 Speaker 6: and say tell them your story if something has happened 1846 01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:17,720 Speaker 6: to you or you know, if I just think the 1847 01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:20,280 Speaker 6: more that we talk about it and the more that 1848 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,840 Speaker 6: we call and say, hey, this is awesome, let's do this, 1849 01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:25,640 Speaker 6: the easier it'll be to pass it. 1850 01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:26,040 Speaker 7: Well. 1851 01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,679 Speaker 1: Included in addition to the ability of the Attorney General 1852 01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:31,080 Speaker 1: to appeal, which I think will put some pressure on 1853 01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:34,400 Speaker 1: the judge during the initial bond hearing to maybe set 1854 01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 1: a better bond level, knowing full well that the ag 1855 01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,880 Speaker 1: may come in and call them out, which would reveal 1856 01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 1: them to be a low bond type of judge, which 1857 01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:45,920 Speaker 1: could impact them in an election. There's an idea. But 1858 01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,880 Speaker 1: this also requires the bond payment to go up from 1859 01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,719 Speaker 1: the ten percent. It's usually like okay, it's one thousand 1860 01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,120 Speaker 1: dollars and they pay up ten percent and that's sufficient. 1861 01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:56,800 Speaker 1: So now it's going to go up to twenty five percent. 1862 01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:59,720 Speaker 1: That's another component of Holly's Act that will require a 1863 01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:02,720 Speaker 1: little more stake in the action for the defendant in 1864 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:03,360 Speaker 1: the courtroom. 1865 01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:11,639 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, absolutely, definitely a spotlight on the judges for sure. 1866 01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:16,759 Speaker 6: And uh, you know, I I do think that instead 1867 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 6: of ten percent is going to be better. And I 1868 01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:23,360 Speaker 6: think they're also going to make it a little bit harder, 1869 01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:29,479 Speaker 6: just on you know, the criminal. I was shown a 1870 01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 6: piece of paper, and I was outraged by this. But 1871 01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,960 Speaker 6: I guess in most courts when someone's arrested, they have 1872 01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:38,800 Speaker 6: this little half sheet piece of paper they write down 1873 01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,960 Speaker 6: their name, address, phone number. It's basically an IOU saying yeah, sure, 1874 01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:45,880 Speaker 6: I'll give you your money. You're ten percent and here's 1875 01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,439 Speaker 6: my address. So a lot of these people are flight 1876 01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,240 Speaker 6: rests and they don't show up for court, and they're 1877 01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 6: out there killing people and robbing them, you know. And 1878 01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:57,920 Speaker 6: so now they're gonna they're going to change some of 1879 01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:01,439 Speaker 6: the way that that's done too, and really make sure 1880 01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:03,759 Speaker 6: that this person's going to come back to court. 1881 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:04,160 Speaker 8: Oh. 1882 01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 1: I hate to laugh because this is not a laughing topic. 1883 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,120 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons you have a bond is 1884 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,760 Speaker 1: because of flight risk. You know, if the more of 1885 01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:12,800 Speaker 1: a flight risk you are, the higher the bond should be, 1886 01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:15,479 Speaker 1: so you're guaranteed to get it back in court. But 1887 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:19,240 Speaker 1: the bill also strengthens the consequences for repeat failures, so 1888 01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:22,040 Speaker 1: it addresses that as well. And the other thing. And 1889 01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, you know, to the extent there's going to 1890 01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,880 Speaker 1: be some sort of you know litigation or you know, 1891 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:29,799 Speaker 1: claims of unconstitutionality. I like the concept. Maybe the devil's 1892 01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:33,000 Speaker 1: in the details, but under the bill, nonprofits like the 1893 01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,799 Speaker 1: Bail Project are going to be limited in their ability 1894 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:37,800 Speaker 1: to come in, you know, sort of as a white 1895 01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:40,840 Speaker 1: knight and pay the bond for the defendant that's standing 1896 01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:41,559 Speaker 1: in the courtroom. 1897 01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:47,479 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, absolutely, I think that that is I'm glad 1898 01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,160 Speaker 6: you brought that up to So. I think all of 1899 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,960 Speaker 6: these things together are going to really strengthen it, because 1900 01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:56,800 Speaker 6: I think if it was just one little piece of 1901 01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,320 Speaker 6: the bill that they're trying to pass, it make that 1902 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,519 Speaker 6: much of a difference. But I think all of these 1903 01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,240 Speaker 6: things compiled and I think they looked into the future 1904 01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:08,280 Speaker 6: and said, okay, how are they going to try and 1905 01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,840 Speaker 6: find loopholes? Let's shut that down. And this is one 1906 01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 6: of the ways to also shut that down. 1907 01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:15,880 Speaker 1: Indeed, So where do you know where it is in process? 1908 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on this on the 1909 01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 1: Is it a final, solidified legislation? Are they still hammering 1910 01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:23,760 Speaker 1: out the details of it? Where are we? Because I 1911 01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:25,680 Speaker 1: certainly want my listeners to get in touch with their 1912 01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:28,759 Speaker 1: elected officials in Ohiland, get them to push this through, Holly. 1913 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,599 Speaker 6: So, I think we're still in the beginning stages from 1914 01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,960 Speaker 6: what I'm told, and again I am not a lawyer, lawmaker, 1915 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:41,479 Speaker 6: none of the understood normal folk. But from what I'm told, 1916 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:43,880 Speaker 6: it's still in the beginning stages. They're still kind of 1917 01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:47,680 Speaker 6: working out some of the details, you know, because like 1918 01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:51,240 Speaker 6: you said, there are people trying to already fight it 1919 01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:55,519 Speaker 6: and say, well, this is unconstitutional. They're innocent until proven guilty. 1920 01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:59,719 Speaker 6: Well yeah, first time offenders, of course, in anybody innocent 1921 01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:03,280 Speaker 6: to sorry, innocent until proven guilty. Let me start over. 1922 01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:07,080 Speaker 6: But if you have a proven track record that you 1923 01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:12,920 Speaker 6: are a violent repeat offender, that you know you constantly 1924 01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:16,439 Speaker 6: are doing these things, well you have different rights. I'm sorry, 1925 01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,479 Speaker 6: you don't have the same right because you've proven that 1926 01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:23,839 Speaker 6: you cannot be a functioning member of society. 1927 01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:24,120 Speaker 3: Right. 1928 01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,840 Speaker 1: Well, that's a component of typical bond discussions. You know, 1929 01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:29,519 Speaker 1: look at the record. Are they a recidivous defender. That's 1930 01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,080 Speaker 1: one of the reasons you have a high bond in 1931 01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:33,680 Speaker 1: the first place, and judges just ignore the reality of that, 1932 01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,479 Speaker 1: and look where we are. We get Holly beaten down 1933 01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:40,000 Speaker 1: by a recidivous person. Holly, I am glad you're feeling better. 1934 01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:42,320 Speaker 1: You know what, I'm sorry that you had to be 1935 01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:45,120 Speaker 1: the victim that brought this so much to people's attention, 1936 01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:48,240 Speaker 1: but your sacrifice may end up helping so many people. 1937 01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,439 Speaker 1: So keep up the great work. And I'll just add 1938 01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:52,679 Speaker 1: my listeners in a request to pray for your improved 1939 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:56,080 Speaker 1: health and will wait for the passage of this bill. 1940 01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 1: I have a strong belief that it will get through. 1941 01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:01,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, hopefully sooner than later. 1942 01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 1: Get in touch with the representatives, the officials, and most notably, 1943 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:10,000 Speaker 1: we'll give props a DJing Swearingen for bringing this up. Holly, 1944 01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time today and again, 1945 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,920 Speaker 1: prayers for your good health. Hey's Brian Thomas, host to 1946 01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:16,600 Speaker 1: the fifty five Carsity Morning Show. I'm the heels of 1947 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:20,479 Speaker 1: talking with Holly obviously the namesake behind Holly Act. I 1948 01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:22,240 Speaker 1: want to bring to the fifty five KRSY Morning Show 1949 01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:25,679 Speaker 1: and welcome and thank you Representative DJ Sweringen from Huron, 1950 01:46:26,120 --> 01:46:30,120 Speaker 1: who is the man behind Holly Act. Mister Sweringeon, thank 1951 01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:31,599 Speaker 1: you for coming on the morning show today to talk 1952 01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:31,960 Speaker 1: about this. 1953 01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:33,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1954 01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,720 Speaker 2: Thanks, Brian really appreciated invitation and the ability to talk 1955 01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:37,599 Speaker 2: about the bill well. 1956 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,400 Speaker 1: A long standing problem here in Hamilton County anyway. I'm 1957 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:42,200 Speaker 1: not quite sure how things are in your region, but 1958 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,439 Speaker 1: we have a lot of woke judges who don't believe 1959 01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:47,400 Speaker 1: in bonds. They think no bond are very very low bond. 1960 01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:52,280 Speaker 1: We have criminals with demonstrably recidivism in their blood. They 1961 01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:56,360 Speaker 1: have many, many convictions for felonies, weapons, under disability, et cetera, etcetera. 1962 01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:58,200 Speaker 1: They're in front of a judge on yet another crime 1963 01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:00,639 Speaker 1: and they've let them out, don't give them a really 1964 01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:02,880 Speaker 1: low bond. And that's exactly what happened to the I 1965 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:06,240 Speaker 1: believe the individual who beat down Holly. You've introduced this 1966 01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,320 Speaker 1: Holly Act and or at least as a concept, and 1967 01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,400 Speaker 1: it's designed to deal with just this. And I think 1968 01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:15,839 Speaker 1: the most effective thing that's in this is your brilliant 1969 01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:18,880 Speaker 1: concept of allowing the attorney general to appeal what he 1970 01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:21,840 Speaker 1: perceives or she perceives as a low bond. I think 1971 01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,200 Speaker 1: that acts as a looming sort of threat to the 1972 01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,400 Speaker 1: judge who might otherwise issue a low bond in the 1973 01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,080 Speaker 1: first place, recognizing that someone can appeal the decision and 1974 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:34,280 Speaker 1: bring it to everyone's attention. Your reaction, Yeah, I think. 1975 01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,080 Speaker 2: Get the nail on the head, Brian. Really, the goal 1976 01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:39,479 Speaker 2: here is accountability and transparency in our justice system. And 1977 01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,960 Speaker 2: you know what we're seeing increasingly is a small number 1978 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:46,000 Speaker 2: of people just like you described, commit most of the 1979 01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:49,160 Speaker 2: violent crime in our communities in Ohio. So we have 1980 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:53,400 Speaker 2: a bill that is tailored towards you repeat offenders, fellons, 1981 01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:56,679 Speaker 2: violent criminals. You know, we have a host of things 1982 01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:00,640 Speaker 2: in the bill, requiring pre trial assessments for fellos or 1983 01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:06,920 Speaker 2: violent crimes before setting bail, requiring pre trial assessments if 1984 01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:09,200 Speaker 2: there's a hearing to consider no bail, because we have 1985 01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:12,479 Speaker 2: circumstances in Ohio where a judge can say you don't 1986 01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:15,760 Speaker 2: get any bail. You mentioned the appeal requirement. We have 1987 01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:20,160 Speaker 2: some accountability where if a defendant skips out on court, 1988 01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:23,720 Speaker 2: you know, two times in the last five years, they're 1989 01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,559 Speaker 2: going to lose the ability to get a personal recognissance bond. 1990 01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:29,479 Speaker 2: They're going to have to pay twenty five percent of 1991 01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:33,599 Speaker 2: their bond, which right now it's ten. You know, there 1992 01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:36,760 Speaker 2: is showing up for court. It's not optional. You know, 1993 01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:38,519 Speaker 2: that's that's not how we're going to do this in 1994 01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:41,960 Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. And then one of the other 1995 01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:45,880 Speaker 2: points in there. That's really important. And my joint sponsor, 1996 01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:48,879 Speaker 2: Representable Array, made a great point to my press conference 1997 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,200 Speaker 2: is you have to show that you have the capability 1998 01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:55,160 Speaker 2: to actually pay your bond right now. Some courts do 1999 01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:56,760 Speaker 2: it very well. They have a sheet you have to 2000 01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:01,560 Speaker 2: fill out include financial information, the ability to pay. Some 2001 01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:04,280 Speaker 2: courts you just have to put your address down. And 2002 01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 2: Representative Loray on Wednesday made a great point he has 2003 01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:09,679 Speaker 2: to fill out more information to get a library card. 2004 01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:13,400 Speaker 2: So we're taking this very seriously. You know, the debate's 2005 01:49:13,439 --> 01:49:16,760 Speaker 2: going to get started when the hearings kick off. I 2006 01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,360 Speaker 2: expect a robust debate on this issue and all the 2007 01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:21,320 Speaker 2: interested parties system. 2008 01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:23,320 Speaker 1: There's yeah, and there should be a robust debate on 2009 01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,400 Speaker 1: this because you know, the little libertarian I mean kind 2010 01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 1: of scratching my head over some of this. Like you mentioned, 2011 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:29,679 Speaker 1: you have to show the ability to pay the bond. 2012 01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:33,200 Speaker 1: I understand that, but sometimes the judges, and I would say, 2013 01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:35,600 Speaker 1: perhaps the more woke judges, say well, this person is 2014 01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:37,800 Speaker 1: indigen I can't impose a bond on them because that 2015 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:41,200 Speaker 1: just means they're gonna be stuck in jail. So what 2016 01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,920 Speaker 1: is the retort to that inevitable argument? 2017 01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:45,720 Speaker 3: You can. 2018 01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:48,519 Speaker 2: You have those considerations before the bond is set. So 2019 01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:51,720 Speaker 2: when a judge looks at what type of bond they're 2020 01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,360 Speaker 2: going to award, they look at a host of factors, right, 2021 01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:56,880 Speaker 2: They look at ability to pay, they look at flight risk, 2022 01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,000 Speaker 2: they look at threat to the public safety, which is 2023 01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:04,360 Speaker 2: debate we had twenty two. They take this big picture 2024 01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:07,920 Speaker 2: and your right to say, you know, bond shouldn't just 2025 01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:08,920 Speaker 2: be who can pay it? 2026 01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:09,320 Speaker 3: You can't. 2027 01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:10,400 Speaker 5: That's not what this is about. 2028 01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:14,040 Speaker 2: This is about who is a danger to the community 2029 01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:18,799 Speaker 2: to the victims, who's a repeat offender, who's a violent offense. 2030 01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:22,839 Speaker 2: We're looking at the really bad crimes here, the violent crimes. 2031 01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:26,360 Speaker 2: That's really what we want to go after, not we're 2032 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,200 Speaker 2: not looking at, you know, the lower offences. And the 2033 01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:31,720 Speaker 2: judges are in great position to make these decisions. But 2034 01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:34,840 Speaker 2: if you are hit with the bond that's fair based 2035 01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:37,519 Speaker 2: off of all of those factors, you got to show 2036 01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:39,280 Speaker 2: that you can pay it at the very least. So 2037 01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,720 Speaker 2: and if you're indigent, the judge will considered that. 2038 01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:44,200 Speaker 1: Well, I have considered, and they always have a representative 2039 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,519 Speaker 1: d J sweringen from here on with the Holly Act, 2040 01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about now that allows me to pivot over 2041 01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:49,960 Speaker 1: to one more element of this is the one that 2042 01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:53,799 Speaker 1: I think maybe likely for a legal challenge. The ability 2043 01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,439 Speaker 1: to pay the bond. That's the factor. But what about 2044 01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:59,840 Speaker 1: entities like the bail Project which provide heaploads of money 2045 01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:01,760 Speaker 1: and can come in Like I think I said to 2046 01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:04,560 Speaker 1: Holly A White Knight to post the bail or the 2047 01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:09,000 Speaker 1: bond for any given individual that I guess if they 2048 01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:12,720 Speaker 1: consider some sort of charitable organization. But if the bail 2049 01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:15,200 Speaker 1: projects they are standing with the money, then I guess 2050 01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,280 Speaker 1: the defendant would have the ability to pay the bond. 2051 01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,800 Speaker 1: But your bill addresses that type of. 2052 01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:23,240 Speaker 3: Activity, Yes, it does. 2053 01:51:23,360 --> 01:51:26,519 Speaker 2: We put a limit on what charitable bail organizations can 2054 01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:30,559 Speaker 2: provide a five thousand dollars. We've also said that they 2055 01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:36,240 Speaker 2: cannot sail out any alleged defendants, the two with violent crimes. 2056 01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:40,200 Speaker 2: So we're putting some guardrails around the charitable bail. We 2057 01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:42,840 Speaker 2: expect that the constitutional issues are going to be raised. 2058 01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,040 Speaker 2: We think we can prevail on those. This has been 2059 01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:48,799 Speaker 2: done in other states. I think Kentucky passed a similar 2060 01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 2: law recently. So you know, look, we're going to have 2061 01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,040 Speaker 2: the debate. Like I said, we're happy to and that's 2062 01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,280 Speaker 2: how the process works in our country, and we're proud 2063 01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:01,240 Speaker 2: of that. We do think we have the winning arguments 2064 01:52:01,320 --> 01:52:01,479 Speaker 2: on that. 2065 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:02,200 Speaker 3: At the end of the day. 2066 01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:04,240 Speaker 1: Well, ultimately, I hope you're right for the interest of 2067 01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:07,280 Speaker 1: the community generally speaking into board events something like Holly, 2068 01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:10,080 Speaker 1: the issues with Holly happening again or maybe even worse 2069 01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:12,800 Speaker 1: now finally without before we part company, you represented a 2070 01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:16,000 Speaker 1: sware engine. Where is it in process? Is still being drafted? 2071 01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, how close to being complete is it? And 2072 01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:21,200 Speaker 1: I guess because my listeners are great about getting engaged 2073 01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:23,879 Speaker 1: and doing calls to action and contacting their elected officials. 2074 01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:26,240 Speaker 1: So how far down the road are before we have 2075 01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:27,160 Speaker 1: something finalized. 2076 01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:32,280 Speaker 2: We've introduced the bill. We introduced it Wednesday afternoon after 2077 01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:35,799 Speaker 2: we had our press conference. The bill is still awaiting 2078 01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,559 Speaker 2: a committee assignment. I think that will either happen today 2079 01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:43,439 Speaker 2: or Tuesday, based off of the House procedural process, you know, 2080 01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:45,839 Speaker 2: and then it'll get a signed to a committee, thinking 2081 01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,920 Speaker 2: either the Public Safety Committee or the Judiciary Committee or 2082 01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:53,240 Speaker 2: the most likely recipients of this build that that's up 2083 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:55,439 Speaker 2: to the House leadership. 2084 01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,760 Speaker 1: Well, considering that the leadership makeup in Ohio and I 2085 01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,200 Speaker 1: know I'm always disappointed when I say this ultimately, but 2086 01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:04,000 Speaker 1: giving the makeup politically, it just looks like it has 2087 01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:07,439 Speaker 1: a good, uh good chance of passing. So Representative Swaragen, 2088 01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:09,920 Speaker 1: thank you for your efforts. I hope it does bear 2089 01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:12,920 Speaker 1: fruit and uh we'll get my listeners on the horn 2090 01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:14,800 Speaker 1: and get in touch with their elected officials to push 2091 01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:15,120 Speaker 1: it through. 2092 01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:16,639 Speaker 3: He got it. Thanks Brian,
