1
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: K r C, the talk station.

2
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Joe Strecker had just dawned on me. The today is

3
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day.

4
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: I mean literally just now I have the promo. Yeah,

5
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: the promo said something about Saint Patrick's Day, and that is.

6
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: That is today I have.

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: I have not one green item on my body right now.

8
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: I feel bad about that. I enjoy Saint Patrick's Day

9
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: as much as anyone else, but uh, my day will

10
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: be done at nine o'clock this morning, so I have

11
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 3: some opportunities ahead, so we will see what happens. And

12
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: good morning. It is Saint Patrick's Day. I'm Dan Carroll

13
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: and for Brian Thomas, glad that Joe Strecker is here. Joe,

14
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: were you rudely greeted by the weather this morning when

15
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: you walked outside got in the car?

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: Oh?

17
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: I mean this is this is no joke. This morning

18
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: windy cold. When I came out, there was a burst

19
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 3: of snow that was coming down. Windshield wipers are frozen

20
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: to the to the windshield. That's unbelievable. Yeah, So it

21
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: definitely feels like winter today and it's not going to

22
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: get any better during the course of the day. So

23
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: we have that to look forward to. We have some

24
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: things to look forward to today. Corey Bowman be here

25
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 3: in the seven o'clock hour. We'll talk to him about

26
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: a lot, a lot of a lot of city talk

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: gonna happen between at a seven o'clock.

28
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: And eight o'clock. We've got Cory. We've got Corey Bowman,

29
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: the man who would have been mayor. Talk to him.

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: What's happening with the police chief, the whole There's an

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: ordinance now to stop the city takeovers, the street takeovers,

32
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: which I mean you talk about, and look, I appreciate

33
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: the fact that the city council is trying to do

34
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: something about this. At least one member of council is

35
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: Mark Jefferies, just a little bit behind the curve though

36
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: street ta. Mark Jeffries says the street takeover last night

37
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: was dangerous, guns recovered, eighty five percent of the cars

38
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: impounded non city residents. Cincinnati cannot be a destination for this.

39
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: This is all true.

40
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: And then it turns out, I guess there was a

41
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: social media post which I did not know about yesterday

42
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 3: and talking about this destination start location Columbus, Ohio. Destination Cincinnati, Ohio.

43
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: So I guess this takeover ride went all the way

44
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: from Columbus to Cincinnati. So Mark Jeffries says, taking a

45
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: stand and has a proposed ordinance to put a stop

46
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: to this. Therefore, we moved that the Administration Producer reports

47
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: in the next thirty days on the following a recommendation

48
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: on an ordinance similar to Louisville that puts in place

49
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: a civil fine and impoundment of cars for up to

50
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: six months other policy choices city council can make to

51
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: eliminate street takeovers. Do we need a specific ordinance for this?

52
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: Seems to me this would be something that would already

53
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: be under police purview, just to my way of thinking.

54
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: Seems to me that police would already have I don't know,

55
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: some thought on the way they deal with these things.

56
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: And it seems to me they did deal with these things.

57
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: When you talk about seventy cars toad thirty five fifty

58
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: people arrested, however many it may have been. So congratulations,

59
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: Mark Jefferies, really very responsive to what's happening in the city.

60
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: And I mean that.

61
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: At least it shows some sign of life. I suppose

62
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: these street takeovers a there's the story from Fox nineteen.

63
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: Street takeovers are hugely dangerous. Dozens of people across the

64
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: country have been killed in them. If people say, wow,

65
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 3: we don't want that, We don't want to do a

66
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: street takeover in Cincinnati because I'll lose my car for

67
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: six months, that's a big deterrent. People losing their property,

68
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 3: people losing their their freedom, being locked up, that's a

69
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: big deterrent. Well, maybe we are getting somewhere, So we'll

70
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: kick that around with Corey Bowman at seven oh five.

71
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: Will and Signal ninety nine is going to be here

72
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: for a segment at at eight oh five talk about

73
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: the press conference with Steven m and Chief Fiji yesterday.

74
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: What's happening there. There's also apparently some news surrounding the

75
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: the case of Fire Chief Mike Washington, which I need

76
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: to get up to speed on, so I will endeavor

77
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: to do that during the course of the show today.

78
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: A good idea to say a prayer for Susie Wiles,

79
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: the chief of staff of President Trump, confirmed Monday that

80
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with cancer. He says, Susie

81
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: Wiles great person, one of the strongest people I know.

82
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: She's been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Trump says

83
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: she has decided to take on this challenge immediately, as

84
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: opposed to waiting. Trump writes she has a fantastic medical team,

85
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: her prognosis is excellent. During the treatment period, she'll be

86
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me,

87
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: as President very high. Her strength and her commitment to

88
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: continue doing the job she loves and does so well

89
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: while undergoing treatment tells everyone tells you everything you need

90
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: to know about her. Susie is one of my closest

91
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: and most important advisors. It's tough and deeply committed to

92
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: serving America. Or she is tough and deeply committed to

93
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: serving America. She will soon be better than ever. Malanie

94
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: and I are with her in every way. We look

95
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: forward to working with Susie on the many big and

96
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: wonderful things that are happening for the benefit of our country.

97
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: And Susie Wiles was Trump's campaign manager during the twenty

98
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: twenty four campaign, and she has been the chief of

99
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: staff since he has been back at the White House. So,

100
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: if you are of such a mind, little prayer for

101
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: Susie Wiles this morning, and not just her, but all

102
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: those who are dealing with various forms of cancer. And

103
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: so you can include Brian Thomas in then and he Joe,

104
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: He's coming back tomorrow, right, Brian Thomas back here tomorrow

105
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 3: in this very seat. So that's good. So God bless

106
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: Susie Wiles and what she is going through.

107
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: What else? What else do we have?

108
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: We got the little up all Tom's Zoatowski will be

109
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: here at seven point thirty this morning and we will

110
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: talk to him about the Save Act and will the

111
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,359
Speaker 3: government ever get fully reopened again as it relates to TSSA,

112
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: TSA agents and all the rest of that. So we've

113
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: got a lot of stuff to kick around with him,

114
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: a lot of great feedback. On yesterday show, we spent

115
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: the seven o'clock and eight o'clock hours with Chris Smitherman

116
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: in studio. At least for me, that's never happened before,

117
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: but it was it was great having Christman and you

118
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: talk about two hours that just that just flew right

119
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: by and we talked about all kinds of stuff and

120
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: along the way we were fortunate enough to get a

121
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: phone call from Vivek Ramaswami, so we got to hear

122
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: from hopefully Ohio's next governor and that was great. And

123
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: then Brad Winstrip was burning up the hotline as well,

124
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: So that was that was pretty good, pretty good two

125
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: hours of radio right there. And Joe Strecker tells me

126
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: it's on the podcast. If you want to go to

127
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 3: what do they do there? Joe, just go to fifty

128
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: five KRC and dot com and you can dial it

129
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: up on the podcast.

130
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,479
Speaker 2: There is that how it works.

131
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: So thank god Joe Streker takes care of all that,

132
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: because there's no way I could do it.

133
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: I just never was able to figure all that kind

134
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: of stuff out.

135
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: And then.

136
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: I was complaining yesterday about my coffee cups and my

137
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: wife heard some of that and she says, oh, I

138
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: got one you can use. So it's sitting there this

139
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: morning by the coffee maker. Then the first thing I

140
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: noticed is it doesn't fit, Joe. It doesn't fit in

141
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: the cup holder. So't I've got to keep one hand

142
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: on this coffee cup as I'm driving here this morning.

143
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: The lid is a terrible design. You slide the thing

144
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: back and you can't get a decent sip of coffee.

145
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: And then number three, it made the coffee taste funny.

146
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: And so that coffee cup was deposited in the garbage

147
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: can in the parking garage this morning, and that's where

148
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: it will stay until it makes its way to the landfill.

149
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: It is five fifteen. We got to get to a break.

150
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: We'll talk about the weather coming up and a whole

151
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: bunch of other stuff, and hopefully you'll find it interesting,

152
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: fascinating and stay tuned as we make our way till

153
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,960

00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: as it turned out, we uh the final two hours

159
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: of having Smith been in here just just I mean,

160
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: it was it was great, but it just left so

161
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: much stuff on the table. A little overview of Operation

162
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: Epic Fury. Friday, the thirteenth mark the beginning of the

163
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: third week of the Iran War, and despite the doom

164
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: and gloom from Democrats in Congress, we are winning big time,

165
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Chairman

166
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: of the Joint Chiefs General Dan kin raising Kine We

167
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: have destroyed ninety percent of rounds of Iran's ballistic missiles,

168
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of their drones. We are well on

169
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 3: the way to destroying their ability not just to assemble more,

170
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: but to manufacture or missile and drone components. We've sunk

171
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 3: all major combatants of the Iranian navy and are now

172
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: turning to their mosquito boats, the speedboats hand fitted with

173
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: a couple of launch tubes that Iran hopes to use

174
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 3: to swarm US warships in the Persian Gulf. Our aircraft

175
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: dominate the skies to the extent they can that they

176
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: can loiter over target areas, wait for missile launchers to

177
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: pop up, and then take them out. How are those

178
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: state of the art Chinese radars working out for you?

179
00:12:59,040 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Have?

180
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: Iranians had some success? However?

181
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: On Wednesday they managed to strike five commercial ships using

182
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: their drones. Two tankers, a container ship, a bault carrier

183
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: and a cargo vessel. Four were hit inside the Persian Gulf,

184
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: the Fifth and the Gulf of Oman. The clear goal

185
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 3: of the attacks is to shut down the Straight of

186
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: hor moves all but to all but Chinese and Iranian

187
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: vessels and drive oil prices through the roof. Within hours,

188
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: oil prices spiked to over one hundred dollars a barrel.

189
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: President Trump responded by announcing the US would provide political

190
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: risk insurance and escort ships through the Strait. He also

191
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 3: announced he would release one hundred and seventy million barrels

192
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and temporarily waive sanctions on

193
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: Russian oil. That claim, or that calmed I should say,

194
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: both the oil and stock markets without the escorting a

195
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: single vessel. Democrats predictably, predictably screamed that they were allowing

196
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: Putin to profit from the war. This past Friday night,

197
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: President announced that he had launched a massive attack on

198
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: carg Island, Iran's biggest oil export terminal, a strategic move.

199
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: By taking out all the military targets but sparing Iran's

200
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: oil export infrastructure, the President sent a message to Iranian's people,

201
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: it's your turn. You don't need to remind any Iranians

202
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: of the significance of the nation's oil or dependence of

203
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: the regime on the revenue it generates. The event that

204
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: triggered the revolution against the Shah was not Comeni's return.

205
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: In January of seventy nine, but the general strike by

206
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: oil field workers one month earlier. Without oil exports, the

207
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: regime cannot pay its military. Without oil experts, the regime dies,

208
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: and the people of Iran know this. The next step

209
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: is for US to take control of the oil export

210
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: terminal or alternatively to place it under a naval blockade.

211
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: Taking control of Iran's oil resources will have a huge

212
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: psychological impact on the regime and signal to the Iranian

213
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: people that the regime's days are numbered. We should announce

214
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: that we are holding them in escrow for the Iranian

215
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: people once they have seized control of the government. Let's

216
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: see this piece goes on to talk about Oman, Turkey, Qatar,

217
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: and let's see the says the regime leadership has apparently

218
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: fled to Tehran for Mashad on the border with Afghanistan.

219
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: For the Isola Junior has gone to ground. There's I

220
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: guess there's still some question about whether or not he

221
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: is he is alive. And then saw all this reporting

222
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: about that the sun of come and he may be gay,

223
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: and that apparently would not sit well if he was

224
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: going to to be the leader of Iran. And apparently

225
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: this whole thing about him being good. Look, we don't

226
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: care if he's gay or not, do we. Apparently this

227
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: guy is going around hitting up people that he works with.

228
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 3: Apparently he's history. He's a real pain in the neck,

229
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: and a lot of people don't want to deal with

230
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: this guy, the son of komayin E. So we'll see

231
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: what becomes of that. But yeah, things are things are

232
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: in flux right now, and so that's just sort of

233
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: a brief update of what's been happening with I mean,

234
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 3: you see all these things. I saw a headline today

235
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: that more ships have been struck in the straight of

236
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: horror moves, and I mean, there's just been so much

237
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: fake news and you don't know if any of it's real,

238
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: and you have to research everything two three and four

239
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: ways before you know whether any of this reporting is

240
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: factual or not. So it seems like we should have

241
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 3: more up to the minute reports of what's happening right now.

242
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 3: But there there are so many out theres who are

243
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 3: out there right now who are dedicated to putting out

244
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: fake propaganda on all of this, and so at least

245
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 3: from my perspective, it's going to tread a little lightly

246
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: on this stuff.

247
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: Five twenty six.

248
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: We've got to get to a break and as we continue,

249
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five kr CV talk station.

250
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 4: Here's what's happening.

251
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: The streets are horror moves at fifty five kr CV

252
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 5: talk station, fifty five krs the talk station.

253
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: Big story last week was the revelation that the Pentagon

254
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 3: spent several million dollars on steak and lobster for our

255
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: US troops. And it turns out that this is really nothing,

256
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: that's all that unusual. And I say today, and I

257
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: said to that as soon as I saw that, I

258
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: don't care if they spent double that amount on steak

259
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: and lobster for our troops. Let them eat, and a

260
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: great peace in town hall about this. As the conflict

261
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: involving around intensifies, the United States military focuses on deterring

262
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 3: one of its most dangerous adversaries, much in the national

263
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: media has chosen to focus on something else entirely, instead

264
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: of analyzing military strategy, deterrence policy, or the broader geopolitical

265
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: implications of confronting the Iranian regime, several outlets have focused

266
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: on a far more trivial narrative the Pentagon spending on

267
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: crab legs, lobster tales in steak. Headlines across left leaning

268
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 3: publications frame these expenditures as evidence of reckless or even

269
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 3: absurd spending under the Department of War. Secretary Pete Hegseth.

270
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: CNN reported on the purchases. The Independent ran headlines emphasizing

271
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: that the US military spent millions on seafood before the

272
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: Iran conflict. The Daily Beast portrayed the spending as part

273
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: of a broader effort to characterize hegset as irresponsible. Taking

274
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: in face value, those headlines sound dramatic. In reality, the

275
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: narrative collapses the moment the numbers are placed in context.

276
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: The Pentagon did spend millions on food items such as crab, lobster, steak.

277
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: What many of these stories conveniently omit, though, is that

278
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: the Pentagon spend similar amounts under the Biden administration as well.

279
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 3: Using the same watchdog organization Open the Books, which released

280
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: the September twenty twenty five spending report that many of

281
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: these left leaning outlets are citing, the story appears far

282
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: less scandalous than the headlines suggest. Federal agencies routinely accelerate

283
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 3: contract and grant spending in the final days of September

284
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: because unused funds can expire at the end of the

285
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 3: fiscal year. This pattern has existed for decades, and when

286
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 3: I was talking about this story last week with a

287
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: couple of different guests I had on on my show

288
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: down the Hall, I said, I thought we were beyond that.

289
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: I thought we had.

290
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: Abandoned the notion of baseline budgeting that if you get

291
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: X number of dollars in a certain year and for

292
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: whatever reason, you don't spend all that money, that means

293
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 3: you have to either a give it back or b

294
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 3: you get less than next year. I thought we had

295
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 3: done away with that sort of thing, But apparently that

296
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: is a practice that is still in place in DC

297
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: as it relates to these government entities. The media correctly

298
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: reported that during the month of September of twenty five,

299
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: the Department of War spent fifty zero point one billion

300
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: dollars in the five final working days of the fiscal year.

301
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: In fiscal year twenty twenty four, during the final year

302
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: of the Biden administration, the Department of the Spent Defense

303
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 3: spent thirty three point one billion in the last five

304
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: days of September. On September twenty seventh loan, the department

305
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: spent eleven point seven billion on contracts and grants. When

306
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 3: placed in that context, the fiscal year twenty twenty five

307
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: numbers become far more understandable. There is still roughly a

308
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: twenty billion dollar difference, which initially sounds large until the

309
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 3: broader context is considered. The defense budget itself increased between

310
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: those two fiscal years, the meaning of the end of

311
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: the year's spending surge naturally or meaning that the end

312
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 3: of the year spending surge naturally rose as well. The

313
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 3: spending pattern itself remains largely unchanged.

314
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 2: By far.

315
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: The biggest talking point the media has focused on involves

316
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: these supposed luxury spending on food. Once again, compared with

317
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: previous years, the numbers are far less shocking then the

318
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: headline would suggest. In September of twenty four the military

319
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: spent one hundred and three point seven million dollars on meat, fish,

320
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 3: and poultry. Those purchases include six point one million dollars

321
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: on lobster tail, sixteen point six million on ribbi steaks,

322
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: six point four million on salmon, four hund seven thousand

323
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 3: on Alaskan king crab. In September of twenty five, the

324
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 3: Pentagon purchase six point nine million on lobster tails roughly

325
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: two million on Alaskan King crab. Those numbers, while frequently

326
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 3: presented as evidence of extravagant spending, are in reality the

327
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: cost of feeding one of the largest institutions in the

328
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: federal government. The United States Military serves millions of active

329
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 3: duty personnel, reservists, and civilian employees across hundreds of bases worldwide.

330
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: Food procurement for an.

331
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: Organization on that scale will inevitably involve large numbers. More importantly,

332
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 3: the spending increases are modest. Lobster tail purchases increase roughly

333
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand dollars between the two years. When inflation

334
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 3: and food prices fluctuation are taken into account, the difference

335
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: becomes less significant, and so it goes on to break

336
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: down all. I mean a lot of numbers here when

337
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: talking about Ribbi steakes and sam and all the rest

338
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: of it. But I just thought it was ridiculous how

339
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: many different media outlets, how many different pundits tried to

340
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: get mileage out of this notion that there was irresponsible

341
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 3: spending on behalf of pete Hegseth. When it comes to

342
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: what are men and women in the military are eating,

343
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 3: and everyone I talked to, everyone that I most reasonable

344
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 3: people that I saw posting on social media, said look,

345
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 3: when it comes to spending tax dollars in this particular area,

346
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: I don't care. Spend as much money as you want

347
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: and let our troops eat as best as they possibly can.

348
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: And I don't care if it's a regular day at

349
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: the chow haul, if they have steak every day, if

350
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: they have lif obster tale crab legs every single day,

351
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: that is fine by me. And I would imagine that

352
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 3: most people in this audience would feel the same way

353
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: about that. Five point thirty six, we'll get to a

354
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: couple of phone calls on the other side, Dan Carroll

355
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRCD talk station.

Speaker 6: Yes, indeed this Uh, this is always one of my

368
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 6: favorite days of the year because it was my dad's

369
00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 6: favorite holiday.

370
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: Uh.

371
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 6: The man, the man never remembered my birthday, even though

372
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 6: it's five days from today and my middle name is

373
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 6: because of this holiday. He never remembered when my birthday

374
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 6: was or how old I was. But I but I

375
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: always got a card on Saint Patty's Day. He always

376
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 6: called me on Saint Patty's Day.

377
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: It was. It was quite.

378
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: Quite amazing, so close enough med memories. It was on St.

379
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day.

380
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: It was I remember I went out with a buddy

381
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: of mine says, hey, let's go riding, and it was

382
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 3: I think it was about three years ago, and we

383
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 3: went out riding and we you know, we visited some

384
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: friends and hit a couple of different establishments and it

385
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: was it was a beautiful day for riding. But that

386
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: is not happening today, I can tell you that much.

387
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 6: Well, not going out in this Yeah, your your last

388
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 6: topic there.

389
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

390
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 6: I'm kind of torn because I'm on record as saying

391
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 6: we should take every opportunity we cand to try to

392
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 6: save some money and uh, you know, cut down what

393
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 6: we spend. But you are absolutely correct. If there's anybody,

394
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 6: any group of people that deserves some extra special treatment,

395
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 6: uh for what they do for our country and has

396
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 6: to be our military, and uh, those guys and gals,

397
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 6: they yeah, they definitely deserve some extra special treatment. But

398
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 6: you know, it brings us into the conversation about the

399
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 6: whole you know, spending money. And when we get to

400
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 6: the end of the year, we got extra we should

401
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 6: take advantage of that and go, hey, hey, we've we've

402
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: got left over money here, Well let's say it.

403
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: And I've got I've got some audio on this coming

404
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: up a little bit later on. But President Trump signed

405
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: an executive order yesterday to put JD. Vance in charge

406
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 3: of the government wide effort to root out wasteful spending, fraud,

407
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: and abuse. And and Steven Miller was there and and

408
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: he put it in context during the during the signing ceremony,

409
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: and he said, if if we could just get out

410
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: the fraud and the money that is being stolen from

411
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 3: the federal government every year, he said, we would balance

412
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: a budget. And Scott Descent put it at six hundred

413
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: billion dollars.

414
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: A year that is wasted on this.

415
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: So when it comes to spending on food for the troops,

416
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 3: I say, is spend more, spend more on it. Yeah,

417
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, spend more, spend spend as much as

418
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: we can possibly spend taking care of those men and

419
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: women who are wearing the uniform every day.

420
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 6: And you're and you're going to find wasteful spending on

421
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 6: both sides of the aisle. But as I always say,

422
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 6: don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Tom.

423
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. I appreciate that. Let's go to

424
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: Jay in Centerville and Tim and Fairfield. Jay, how are

425
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: you doing this morning?

426
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 7: Hey?

427
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: Dan, good morning, How are you good?

428
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: What's up? Jay?

429
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: Good? Hey.

430
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: I wanted to share a little warning. I spent about

431
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 4: nineteen years in Portland, Oregon.

432
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 6: Boys, I'm starting to see parallels.

433
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: Between Cincinnati, boy, and if you've heard anything about what

434
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: Portland is like recently, it's a shame. I moved there

435
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: at nineteen ninety three. It was nirvana. It was absolutely beautiful.

436
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: It was safe.

437
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: You didn't see a piece of garbage on the ground,

438
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: you didn't see any homeless people. It was pristine. Fast

439
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 4: forward today. The building I worked in in downtown Portland

440
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: was the most prestigious, largest, fanciest building you could possibly

441
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: work in. It just sold a few months ago for

442
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: ninety percent less than it did in twenty fifteen. Nobody

443
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: goes downtown, you know why, because it's dangerous. It's what

444
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 4: all the news stories about what's happening in downtown Cincinnati

445
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 4: over the Rhine is starting to build at the hands

446
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: of AFT have Purvol and his police consultant, and I'm

447
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: seeing the same thing and it scared me. My girlfriend

448
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: lives in Clifton, I live in Centerville. I'm down in

449
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 4: OTR in downtown Cincinnati almost every weekend, and there's times

450
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: we're feeling a little of us down there now. And

451
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: I want everybody to think about what Seattle, Portland, and

452
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: San Francisco look like now. And you have a very

453
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: similar leader with AFTAB and this can happen here.

454
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

455
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: Portland is a sanctuary city and they've got yeah, yeah,

456
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: they want to you know, I don't know what they've

457
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: done with their police force there, but I would imagine

458
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: they had to defund the police movement there as well.

459
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've done exactly the same thing and they've hired

460
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: police chiefs that will be woke and to the leftist line.

461
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 4: We even had a mayor out there he was kind

462
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 4: of the start of the demise, who was a self

463
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: proclaimed anarchist, but he had also been the.

464
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: Chief of police at.

465
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 4: One point and that's when the city started to really

466
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: go downhill. And there was a guy there that named

467
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 4: Ted Wheeler who was the last mayor who he and

468
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: Aftab are carbon copies, and it's just scared me. I

469
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: love Cincinnati. I was born in Mount Airy. I spent

470
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 4: a lot of time down there, in my extended families

471
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 4: all down there. If people don't wake up and insist

472
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 4: that Iris Roi goes, she's a piece of garbage, and

473
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: that they start to actually enforce the law and make

474
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 4: the city safe again, it will turn into another Portland.

475
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 4: The trailblazers are even leaving the city.

476
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got you know.

477
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: I'm looking at there.

478
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm looking at a picture of Portland right now, and

479
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 3: right in their downtown area, they've got all these solar

480
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: panels arrayed there. I guess they're trying to get all

481
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: this solar energy here. Here's the mayor's priorities. Keith Wilson

482
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: and unsheltered homelessness. That is his number one priority. Let's

483
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: see restore public safety, health and confidence rapidly, expand affordable housing,

484
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: make local government smarter and more effective, and then make

485
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: Portland a climate leader. So those are the top priorities

486
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: or the for the mayor in Portland. And nothing about police,

487
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: nothing about public safety, nothing about the fiscally responsible government.

488
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 3: And yeah, when you look at those priorities and the

489
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 3: mumbo jumbo that goes along with that, it seems like

490
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: we got a lot of the same stuff happening here

491
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati.

492
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: Well, and and then the homelessness thing is an industry

493
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 4: out there. It's a lot like what's going on in Minnesota.

494
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 4: The Fed send money, goes to the city, it gets

495
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: handed to ng o s. The n g os hire

496
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: unqualified new companies that just pop up to run these programs,

497
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: and then they fund Democrat campaigns with that money, and

498
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: that cycle goes over and over again. And the people

499
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 4: that really deserve the help, the homeless, people that are

500
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: mentally ill or were one paycheck away.

501
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: From being on the street, those are the last ones

502
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: in line because all the money gets funneled into a

503
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: whole lot of other pockets before it goes down.

504
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: But if you're a if you're a homeless by choice,

505
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 4: and there's a huge population of that out there who

506
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 4: wants to sit around and smoke pot and play guitars

507
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: all day Partlins, you'll be the first one in line.

508
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Jai Way, I hope everybody pays attention. All right,

509
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm watching.

510

Speaker 3: Yeah, Jay, we'll be talking in the seven eight o'clock hour.

Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC The talks Station, Tan Carroll for Brian Thomas.

518
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: Time to squeeze in one more phone call here before

519
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: we get to the break at the top of the hour.

520
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: And this is Tim and Fairfield. Tim fifty five KRC.

521
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: How's it going?

522
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: All right?

523
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 7: Dan?

524
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 6: How are you today?

525
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: All right? What you got for me?

526
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: Hey?

527
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 9: I got a nice warm, hot cup of coffee here,

528
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 9: and I'll tell you how I do it every morning?

529
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: All right? Let me hear it.

530
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: First.

531
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 9: I got a big Bubba cup is what it's called.

532
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 6: Look it up on Amazon Barba.

533
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: It's thirty ounces.

534
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 9: And uh, what I do before I put coffee in

535
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 9: it is I put hot water in it. Yeah, and

536
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 9: no hot water heats up the cup before your coffee

537
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 9: goes in, and your coffee stays warmer longer because you're

538
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 9: not heating the cup up with the coffee. And that

539
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 9: that's why your coffee gets colder faster. So uh, that's

540
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 9: a little thermodynamic lesson for you today.

541
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 3: Let the let the hot water do the work, not

542
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 3: your coffee. I love that, so Tim, Uh look good

543
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: to see your thinking out there this morning.

544
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: And we appreciate that.

545
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: And that is just enough to get us here to

546
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: the break at the top of the hour. As we

558
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 3: It depends green spaghetti.

559
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 2: Good luck with that. I'm told.

560
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 3: Real irishmen don't drink green beer though, So if you

561
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: but if you want to go out and have a

562
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 3: green beer, by all means moderation, moderation, moderation in all things. Ah,

563
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: what is going on? I have long said that Californians

564
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 3: have lost their minds? And on Friday, President Trump signed

565
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: an executive order giving the Department of Energy authority to

566
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 3: invoke the Defense Production Act, a nineteen fifties Cold War

567
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 3: era law, to force the restart of a dormant offshore operation,

568
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: an oil operation off the coast of California. The Energy

569
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: Secretary Chris Wright acted the same day, directing Sable, a

570
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: short Courpate, Houston based company, to restore operations to the

571
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: Santa Ynez Unit and the Santa Ynez Pipeline off the

572
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 3: coast of Santa Barbara. Today's order will strengthen American oil supply,

573
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: restore a pipeline system vital to our national security and defense,

574
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 3: ensuring the West Coast military installations have the reliable energy

575
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: critical to military readiness, right said in a statement. So

576
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 3: you've got essentially oil rigs out there off the coast,

577
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 3: oil pipelines off the coast, apparently in working order, and

578
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: they have not been used for god knows how long.

579
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 3: But they want to make sure that the military installations

580
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: in California have the oil and the resources that they need.

581
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: So the Defense Production Act is being invoked here. I'll

582
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: give you one guess who, as soon as he heard

583
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 3: about it, said nope, I'm going to fight this, And

584
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 3: of course that is Governor Gavin Newsom, knew some wasted

585
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: no time. Called the order an attempt to illegally restart

586
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: a pipeline whose operators are facing criminal charges and prohibited

587
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 3: by multiple court orders from restarting. He pledged California would

588
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: take prompt legal action. His office framed the action as

589
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: a political stunt that would contribute just zero point five

590
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: percent to total global crude output and do nothing to lower

591
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: gas prices at the pump. Well, that may be true,

592
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: but what did the president say at the top. This

593
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: is to make sure that the military installations in California

594
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: have the resources that they need. We are at war,

595
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: whether or not it's been confirmed by the Congress or not.

596
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: We are taking military action in Iran. And apparently it

597
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 3: is too much to ask for the Governor of California

598
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: to be a team player in this effort. So we

599
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: see where he stands along the same lines as Californians

600
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: losing their mind. And I actually I had to read

601
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: this article twice to make sure that that it was true.

602
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: And this comes from the Federalist. Is a great website.

603
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: It's a it's a website I literally look at every

604
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: single day, whether I have a show or not, because

605
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 3: you find things on the Federalist that and write a

606
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: great writing on the Federalist that you just don't find

607
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 3: any place else. And they've got a piece entitled California

608
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: fights to screen men for cervical cancer and it starts

609
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: off like this. If you have a penis and testicles,

610
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 3: you may have strang with a bigoted gynecologist who wouldn't

611
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 3: give you a PAP smear or to screen you for

612
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 3: cancer for the cervix that you don't have. The doctor

613
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 3: may have deflected blaming your cruel health insurance company for

614
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: refusing to cover the cost of the test. If this

615
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: happens to you, don't worry California legislature as you're back

616
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: today in Sacramento, the Assembly Health Committee will take up

617
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 3: a bill to forbid gender discrimination by health insurance companies

618
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 3: from the legislative introduction. This is what the bill reads.

619
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: The bill would prohibit a health care service plan or

620
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 3: health insurer from taking specific actions related to providing access

621
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: to health programs and activities, including, but not limited to,

622
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 3: denying or limiting health care services to an individual based

623
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: upon the individual's sex assigned it birth, gender identity, or

624
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: gender otherwise recorded. So if this bill passes, you cannot

625
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: be denied any type of care in California because of

626
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: the sex you were quote assigned at birth. When the

627
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: doctor there the day you were born looked at your

628
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 3: genitalia and declared your identity a male or female, your

629
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 3: declared gender identity will determine what tests you can get

630
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 3: in Californy if this bill passes. If you don't have

631
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: a uterus or ovaries, but you still want to be

632
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: tested for pregnancy, the healthcare industry will not all be

633
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: allowed to be mean to you. So think about what

634
00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: that means. That means if you are born and we

635
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: all know, I think we've got a pretty good understanding

636
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: of a difference between men and women. You can in

637
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: California under this bill, if it passes, you're a man,

638
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 3: you will be able to go into a doctor's office

639
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 3: and demand that you be tested for pregnancy, demand that

640
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 3: you get a papsmerror, demand that you get your uterus

641
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 3: or ovaries looked at, get tested for whatever you get

642
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 3: tested for. As I don't know all the women stuff

643
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: that when they go in and see they're the women doctors,

644
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 3: the gynecologists. But all those services will now be available

645
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 3: to you. And so the legislature, these lawmakers there who

646
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: and I watched the there's video attached to this, and

647
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 3: I watch the press conference that they have. They have

648
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 3: in California. They have the TGI Fund, which is the Transgender,

649
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 3: Diverse and Intersex Fund, and they talk about all this

650
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 3: money that's going to go to this fund. And now

651
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: they've changed the name of the Transgender and Intersex Fund

652
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: to the two, the number two TGI Fund because this

653
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: they've now included two spirit to be inclusive in the

654
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: t the TGI Fund was not inclusive enough because it

655
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 3: didn't recognize so called two spirit people. So now it

656
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: is it is the two TGI Fund. And so, look,

657
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 3: you have the right in America that if if you

658
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 3: are born a man and you feel like a woman,

659
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 3: you can pretend all day long that you are a woman.

660
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: You can make yourself up to look like a woman,

661
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 3: you can dress like a woman, you can go out

662
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 3: if you're an adult, you can have the surge, you

663
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: can you can do all that kind of stuff.

664
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: To pretend that you are a woman.

665
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: Now, in California they want to pass a law that

666
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: says doctors are compelled to pretend as well. So a

667
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: doctor cannot look at you and say, look, I can't

668
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 3: give you a PAP smear because you don't have the

669
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 3: right body parts. I can't test you for pregnancy because

670
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 3: you can't get pregnant. Can't do that. The doctors have

671
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 3: to pretend as well. And so I would think about

672
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 3: you know what would Brian Thomas think about this? And

673
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: I think he would say, well, doesn't this open the

674
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 3: door to all kinds of litigation in the future if

675
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 3: you're not happy with how do those test results come

676
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 3: back in a truthful and substantive way that correctly and

677
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: honestly gives you an assessment of whatever medical condition that

678
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 3: you're going in there to be treated for.

679
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: How can you possibly.

680
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 3: Get that if the doctor has to pretend and go

681
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: along with your particular with your particular fantasy on this,

682
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 3: How can that possibly happen? How can and are we

683
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 3: going to start seeing these if a law like this passes?

684
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 3: Are we going to see these kinds of consequences on

685
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 3: the other side of this, because and you should see

686
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: these people, they are very very proud of themselves that

687
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: they are taking this stand for so called transgender and

688
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 3: diverse and intersex rights that again they want to force

689
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 3: the medical profession to pretend that a man is a

690
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: woman and a woman as a man. These people have

691
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 3: absolutely lost their minds.

692
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: In California.

693
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 3: We got to get to a break six sixteen, Dan

694
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 3: Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC, the talk station.

695
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: Here's what's happening. The streets are poor moves being jested.

696
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC, the talk station, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.

697
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 3: We're talking about this this bill in California that's going

698
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 3: to be introduced today that will force doctors to treat

699
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 3: patients and treat body parts that patients don't have. The

700
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 3: bill was introduced by an assembly member don Adtis, Democrat

701
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 3: from the Central Coast, former teacher, former union leader, former

702
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: Planned Parenthood board member. So if the writer of the

703
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: piece sums it up like this, remember, if you have

704
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: male sexual anatomy tested for cervical cancer, next year, you'll

705
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 3: be standing up to Trump. So in her introduction into

706
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 3: this bill, she of course bashed Trump and the Trump

707
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 3: administration for their meanness and their cruelty and their bigotry

708
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 3: towards the transgender community. And so if you go in

709
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 3: for treatment for body parts that you don't have, and

710
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: you force a doctor to provide that treatment or provide

711
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 3: that examination, then that is striking a blow against the

712
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: man in the White House. So congratulations to our friends

713
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 3: in California. Let's go to Alan Cleveland or Cleveland, al Al.

714
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning.

715
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 10: I'm fine. Thank you for covering for the chief while

716
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 10: he is recovering from his chemo. Yes, And I just

717
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 10: was thinking as you were reporting on this story, this

718
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 10: this opens up a pretty good opportunity for people to profit.

719
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 10: You know, I think if if males can pretend to

720
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 10: be females, I can pretend to be a doctor and

721
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 10: pretend to give them the tests that they want and

722
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 10: may make some cash from it.

723
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 3: May pretend you can charge can you charge real money

724
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 3: for for providing pretend services?

725
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: Maybe going on all the time?

726
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, all right, have a good day, Democrats.

727
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 2: Democrat, Yeah, this is this is what you get.

728
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: And this woman's a Democrat and she's got people standing

729
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 3: behind her, some very serious looking individuals who are again

730
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: very proud of themselves that they are standing up for

731
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: the rights of these individuals. Cribbage, Mike, what say you?

732
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Dan.

733
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 8: Well, I guess that's just another thing that Gavin Newsoen

734
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 8: can run on in two years, is what he could

735
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 8: do for America.

736
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing?

737
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 3: Look and if you if you remember when Kamala Harris

738
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 3: was the Attorney General of California, she bragged about how

739
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: she led the way so prison inmates in California could

740
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 3: seek gender reassignment surgery. She was she talked about how

741
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,919
Speaker 3: that was she.

742
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: Was very proud. Remember I remember running clips from that.

743
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 3: Interview, and she was very proud of that that I

744
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 3: you know, I guess she thought that, would you know,

745
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 3: help help pave the way for her to become President

746
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: of the United States or whatever office she was going

747
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 3: to seek beyond attorney general in California. But she bragged

748
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 3: about that about how she led the way so our

749
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 3: prison in a population could could have transgender surgery. And

750
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 3: they but think about that. I mean, they really want

751
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 3: you to go in there, and they have a They

752
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 3: want to force doctors and insurance companies to pretend that

753
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 3: you are going to have some sort of pelvic examination

754
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 3: as a dude, and I guess get a report on

755
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 3: the health of your of the body parts that you

756
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 3: don't have.

757
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: What's that?

758
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 8: Hypocrits do no harm?

759
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 4: How do you do that?

760
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 8: Yeah? I don't understand what Saint Patrick stay story before

761
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 8: I get the stake in lobster. Okay, I was going

762
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 8: through apprenticeship training in the Navy in nineteen seventy six,

763
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 8: and I guess the club manager ordered too many kegs

764
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 8: of old Millwaukee Green beer. So the following weekend, he's

765
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 8: the club was selling it to all those young sailors

766
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 8: at twenty five cents a pitcher. Now, what could possibly

767
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 8: go wrong there? No, and once again the trunk arrangements

768
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 8: trunk arrangement system media thought they had another gotcha with

769
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 8: Pete Hexas and just ran with it before they did

770
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 8: any research. You know, A board submarines, which I'm definitely

771
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 8: in tune with. You know, we yes, we had staken

772
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 8: lobster going all the way back in nineteen seventy six. Yeah,

773
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 8: and usually it meant one of two things. Either one

774
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 8: we were getting extended on deployment or two we were

775
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 8: having an inspection coming up and we're going to have

776
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 8: VIPs on board.

777
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: You know.

778
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 8: You know, in your time in the Air Force, whether

779
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 8: it be a chowha or board ship, nothing affects morale

780
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 8: more than your two or three squares a day. Absolutely,

781
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 8: And what was unique about a submarine is that we

782
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 8: don't have the space to where the officers are eighty

783
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 8: one thing. They're eating steak and lobster, and the cruise

784
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 8: eating SOS. And anybody in the military knows what SOS did,

785
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 8: absolutely well. Everybody from the seamen recruit up to the

786
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 8: captain eats the same meal. So once again it isn't

787
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 8: like the admirals and the generals are getting steak in

788
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 8: lobster and the heck with the crew or we're just

789
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 8: wasting money. You know it just they didn't do their

790
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 8: research and once again it came back to bite them.

791
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 3: But you know, Mike, the previous story I had about

792
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: Trump invoking the Defense Production Act and they want to

793
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 3: open up a a doormant offshore drilling area off the

794
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 3: coast of California to do what to provide military installations

795
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 3: in California with the petroleum resources that they need. And

796
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom his reflex reaction to that is to stand

797
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 3: up against it and say no. So even at a

798
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 3: time like this, asking Gavin Newsom to be a little

799
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 3: bit of a team player apparently is a bridge.

800
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 8: Too far makes no sense.

801
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: Well, if you if you know who Gavin Newsom is,

802
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 3: it makes perfect I think it reveals a lot about

803
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 3: the kind of character that this guy has. Stand against

804
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 3: Trumpet every possible every possible intersection. Absolutely, Mike appreciate the call.

805
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 6: Thanks Dan, All right, there you.

806
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 2: Go, cribbage.

807
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 3: Mike always appreciate him in his service. Six twenty eight

Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the talk Station.

811
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 3: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas and I talk about Californians,

812
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 3: the lawmakers in California losing their minds, and it is

813
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 3: not any veteran Virginia Immigration and Customs enforcement and asking

814
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 3: Virginia officials, including the Governor, Abigail Spanberger.

815
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: Who are you like me?

816
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 3: I mean, anytime I see a picture of this woman,

817
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 3: I just see that smug, arrogant, condescending look that is

818
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 3: on her face at all times. I mean, I really

819
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 3: think she has a sense that she knows that she

820
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: is screwing the people of Virginia over in the worst

821
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 3: ways possible, and she just doesn't care. She's got the power,

822
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 3: she's the governor, she's in charge, and she's going to

823
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 3: do whatever the hell she wants. But ICE is asking

824
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 3: Virginia and the governor not to allow an illegal alien

825
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 3: to be released from jail. This illegal alien is an

826
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 3: adult but accused of groping about a dozen girls in

827
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 3: the hallway of Fairfax County High School. The nineteen year

828
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 3: old illegal alien should not have been attending a Virginia

829
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 3: high school and allowed to pray on innocent teenage girls,

830
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 3: said Lauren Biss of the Department of Homeland Security. I

831
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 3: guess Lauren Biss is the one who has taken the

832
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 3: place at Trisha McLaughlin. This dude faces nine counts of

833
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 3: assault and battery, yet another example of the Biden administration's

834
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 3: failed open border policies. We're calling on Fairfax County sanctuary

835
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 3: politicians to not release this predator from jail back into

836
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 3: our communities to assault more teenage women. Unfortunately, Governor Spanberger

837
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 3: has ended cooperation with ICE and is siding with criminal

838
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 3: illegal aliens over American citizens. Last week's last week, the

839
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 3: Fairfax County Sheriff arrested Israel Flores or Teaes and the illegal

840
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 3: from Il Salvador, who crossed into the United States through

841
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 3: the Mexican border in twenty twenty four. Released into the

842
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 3: United States by the Biden administration. He's an adult but

843
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 3: attends Fairfax County High School. Police say that he groped

844
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 3: about a dozen girls in the hallway of the high

845
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 3: school over the course of many months. Already, Fairfax Commonwealth

846
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: County or Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano agreed to let Ortiz

847
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 3: walk out of jail, but a judge denied him permission

848
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 3: to do so.

849
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: So.

850
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 3: Apparently, this guy is still locked up and I should

851
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 3: go in there as quickly as possible and arrest this dude,

852
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 3: or they're going to have another situation like they had

853
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 3: back in February. ICE had a detainer lodged against this

854
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 3: dude in Virginia, Abdul Jealo thirty two years old, and

855
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 3: he allegedly stabbed to death. On February twenty third, Stephanie Miller,

856
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 3: forty one years old, found dead at a bus stop,

857
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 3: multiple stab wounds to the upper body.

858
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 2: This dude's an.

859
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 3: Illegal alien from Sierra Leone. Came to the United States

860
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 3: in twenty twelve. Dude already had a criminal history of

861
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 3: more than thirty arrests, rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession,

862
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 3: identity theft, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of

863
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 3: a minor. They issued ICE tod issued a detainer for

864
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 3: this guy in twenty twenty. He was granted a final

865
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 3: order of removal by a judge, so he had due

866
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 3: process and Virginia just let him go because this governor,

867
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 3: Abigail Spanberger says, Nope, We're not cooperating with ICE, and

868
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 3: we are going to let these people walk our streets.

869
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 3: So whether it's girls in high school getting molested by

870
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 3: some strange dudes, some illegal alien from another country who

871
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 3: shouldn't be in high school to begin with, shouldn't even

872
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 3: be in the country to begin with. They get victimized,

873
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 3: and then innocent women get stabbed to death at a

874
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: bus stop.

875
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: These are the real victims.

876
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 3: The real consequences of these idiotic liberal policies. And they

877
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 3: think they're so smart and so much better than everyone else,

878
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 3: and they don't give it the people that they claim

879
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 3: to care about. They don't give a damn about the

880
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 3: consequences for any real Americans, for real people. Six point

881

Speaker 3: thirty seven on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

882

Speaker 2: Hit talk Station.

885
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC, the talk Station, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.

886
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: Time for a couple of more phone calls right here,

887
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 3: let's get this one. Hank has been on hold for

888
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 3: a little while, and Hank, you're on fifty five KRC.

889
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 7: Good morning, mister Carroll. H Happy Saint Patrick's day. And

890
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 7: remember the old Irish saying, I'd rather have a bottle

891
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 7: in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

892
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 2: Is that really?

893
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 3: Is that really an Irish saying, or does something you

894
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 3: say after you've had a couple of belts hard.

895
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 7: Telling, it goes back away. As far as.

896
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: I know, I've heard that one for many many years.

897
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 7: Here you go. But anyway, I was wondering, you know

898
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 7: that they're bringing this oil in off the coast of California,

899
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 7: hopefully for supposedly for military basis. It's not going to

900
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 7: be refined. Are there's still any refineries left?

901
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 2: I think there's some refineries.

902
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 3: I just saw the other day where President Trump announced

903
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 3: the building of a new refinery that's going to be

904
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 3: in Texas somewhere.

905
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 7: First new refinery to be in Brownsville.

906
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 3: First new refinery built in America in more than half

907
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 3: a century.

908
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 2: Think about that.

909
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 3: How how can you go fifty year, fifty years at

910
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: a time between building refinery. So I think there, I

911
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 3: think California does maintain some refining capacity, and so that

912
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 3: obviously that I would think that the pipeline's there, and

913
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: whatever mechanism they have for getting the oil offshore would

914
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 3: have to go directly to a refinery or obviously a

915
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 3: holding facility somewhere.

916
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 2: And then onto a refinery.

917
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think California does have some refining capacity.

918
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought that stuff was all gone because of

919
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,919
Speaker 7: all the environmental wacko stuff going.

920
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 3: That's why they shut it all down. That's why, that's

921
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 3: why it's all been shut down. California used to produce

922
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 3: a lot of oil, but of course they they are

923
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 3: and and now they they import oil from whether the

924
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 3: Bahamas are somewhere. I mean, it's ridiculous that they're importing oil.

925
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 3: They've they've got lots of oil under their feet, but

926
01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 3: in California they have been willing to sacrifice there of

927
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 3: their their fiscal sanity and their fiscal well being on

928
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 3: the altar of the environmental radicals.

929
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 7: Well, California has been kind of nutty for a long time.

930
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 2: Very nutty.

931
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 7: Probably probably the probably the largest insane asylum in the world.

932
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 3: You remember what you remember what Archie Bunker said about

933
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 3: that back on Are you old enough to remember the

934
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 3: old in the family days?

935
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 7: I'm older than you.

936
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 3: Archie Bunker said, California is the land of fruits and nuts,

937
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 3: and all the nuts are a little fruity, and all

938
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 3: the fruits are a little nutty.

939
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, there was an old joke going around a

940
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 7: while back. Y' also might remember about they're going to

941
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 7: change the name of California to granola, because if you

942
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 7: took all the fruits and nuts out, all you'd have

943
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 7: left is a few flakes.

944
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 2: Jim Ware, Hank.

945
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 3: We could go all day on this, but I appreciate

946
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 3: the phone call this morning. Thank you very much, Hank.

947
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And I said, Jim, because I saw

948
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 3: on my board here we got west side Jim and

949
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 3: west side Jim.

950
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 2: How are you this morning?

951
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Good morning, Dan. It's always great to hear you in

952
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Southern for mister Thomas as he's on the I R.

953
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's always great to be here.

954
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 3: This is the best audience in local radio right here,

955
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 3: the fifty five KRC morning too.

956
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking about this refinery stuff in California.

957
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: We better win the next two elections because if we

958
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 1: get a Democrat president here and we have spent billions

959
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: of dollars building one of these refineries, he will stop

960
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: it halfway through. Sure, another waste that we've done. And

961
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, I guarantee it'll be in the first week

962
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: that they'll be stopping that thing. Just like the pipeline

963
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: that goes from you know out in the Dakotas and

964
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: so forth.

965
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 3: Well, look, the one of the reasons that we're able

966
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: to I think that Trump is able to take the

967
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 3: actions that he's taken against the terrorist threat in Iran

968
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 3: is because of the position that Trump has put the

969
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 3: United States in when it comes to energy, with the

970
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 3: worldwide spectrum on energy and so with America leading the

971
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 3: way in oil production, and now we're going to have

972
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 3: control over what comes out of Venezuela. We're going to

973
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 3: have hopefully control over what happens in Iran. And look,

974
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 3: these are not these are not moves that are being

975
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 3: made for conquest. These are moves that are being made,

976
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 3: number one, to provide freedom for the people in those countries,

977
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 3: and then number two, to provide economic stability, not just

978
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 3: for the United States, but for the entire world. And

979
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 3: so to my way of thinking, these are the big

980
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 3: picture issues that Trump is dealing with, and because of

981
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 3: the moves that he's made as president, we're in a position.

982
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 3: And think about that, it's only been just over a

983
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 3: year that Trump has been around to do that, and

984
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 3: we're in a position to do this now because of

985
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 3: the policies that he's put in place.

986
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's true, and you know, in his first term

987
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: he had four years of taking it easy and getting

988
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: his stuff with through. Well, this time around, he knows

989
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: he's only got he's not going to be reelected, so

990
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: he's got this one shot. So he doesn't want to

991
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: be just a lame duck president. But let me just

992
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: ask you, I've got a few years on you. Have

993
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: you ever seen a country so screwed up as what

994
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: we've got right now?

995
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 3: No, especially when it comes to the Save Act. When

996
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 3: this notion that we can't get this kind of sensible

997
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 3: legislation through when we've got control of the House and

998
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 3: the White House and the Senate.

999
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 2: It is just beyond ridiculous.

1000
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 3: People like I mean, the notion that Mitch McConnell is

1001
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 3: still around to throw a monkey wrench in the works

1002
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 3: whenever he gets a chance. I don't know what's going

1003
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,959
Speaker 3: on with John Cornyn. I don't know what the deal

1004
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 3: is with Thune. I don't know what Look if and

1005
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 3: west Side, Jim, you know this, if the Democrats were

1006
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 3: in charge, they would not be pussy footing around with

1007
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 3: any of this kind of stuff. They would get rid

1008
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 3: of the filibuster, they would control the Senate, and God

1009
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 3: forbid that they win in November and get control of

1010
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 3: one of those bodies of Congress, because the Trump agenda

1011
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 3: will come to a grinding halt. And you know what,

1012
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 3: and you know who's going to be there, gleefully cheering

1013
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 3: alongside them, maybe behind the scenes a little bit gonna

1014
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 3: be a lot of rhino Republicans.

1015
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Are going to be just fine with all of it.

1016
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 2: And it's not gonna do you know, Dan.

1017
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: The only good thing about this whole deal is about

1018
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock today, I get to go to the doctor

1019
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: and get my ovar east check.

1020
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 3: Thank god, thank god, you have a doctor that will

1021
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 3: pretend right along with you.

1022
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Oh, isn't that what we need more of?

1023
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 3: Don't we need more of a you know, the medical

1024
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 3: establishment pretending that as a woman and a woman as

1025
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 3: a man.

1026
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: That's fair enough.

1027
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: It's bad enough you can't go to the doctor and

1028
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: get what you need because of the all the rev regulation. Sorry,

1029
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: but now they got they just you know, pound it

1030
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: on and add it up and put guys going there

1031
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: and asking for all this goofy stuff. It's just ridiculous,

1032
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Have you ever see the country

1033
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: so screwed up?

1034
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 3: The people in California have lost their minds. The people

1035
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 3: in Virginia have lost their minds, and it is slowly

1036
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 3: working its way right here to good old Cincinnati.

1037
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,400

01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 3: Bowman just a few minutes away. After the news here

1045
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 3: at the top of the hour talk about Chief Fiji

1046
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 3: and the Chief and her attorneys had a meeting with

1047
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 3: The Chief did not speak yesterday, but her attorneys did,

1048
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 3: calling the investigation into her leadership a hatchet job, share

1049
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 3: a long pleastigie on paid leave back in October hiring

1050
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 3: the law firm a Frost, Brown and Todd to be

1051
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 3: an independent counsel to conduct what it calls a review

1052
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 3: into the effectiveness of Fiji's leadership. Finny law firm Steven

1053
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 3: m said the findings of the firm's investigation are coming

1054
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 3: soon and he believes it's going to be a hatchet

1055
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 3: job that they thought it was going to be from

1056
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 3: the very beginning. And this has gone on five plus

1057
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 3: months now that we've been watching this, and we've had

1058
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 3: a police chief who has given.

1059
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 2: Her entire life.

1060
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 3: Look, I've had my disagreements with Fiji along the way.

1061
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 3: I think there are a lot of things that she

1062
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 3: did that were quite good and quite effective. I think

1063
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 3: there were times when she did her job in an

1064
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 3: outstanding way. Haven't agreed with everything, But to treat a

1065
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 3: woman like this who has given her an entire adult

1066
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 3: life to the Cincinnati Police Force and just leave her

1067
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 3: twisting in the wind like this.

1068
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 2: Is It's disgraceful. It really is.

1069
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 3: So we'll talk to Corey Bowman about that and some

1070
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 3: other items as it relates to the city of Cincinnati

1071
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,160

Speaker 3: man in the arena bravely threw his hat in where

1079
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 3: others had feared to tread for decades before. Corey Bowman,

1080
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 3: who bravely ran for the mayor of Cincinnati, got a

1081
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,559

1085
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 12: I was a little surprised this morning. I woke up

1086
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 12: to snow on my car. So I'm just trying to

1087
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 12: figure out what twilight's going on in right.

1088
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 3: That was a little rude awakening. And I mean and look,

1089
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 3: I mean you listen to Chuck and seventy five and

1090

01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 2: So the roads are a little tricky out there this morning.

01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 3: So you got you gotta be careful, Corey Bumman, that

1093
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 3: there are so many man, there are so many items

1094
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 3: that are percolating right now.

1095
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 2: Where do you want to start?

1096
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if you had a chance

1097
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 3: to listen yesterday, but I had Chris Smitheman in here

1098
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 3: and we are talking about any number of issues as

1099
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 3: it relates to the city, which I want to do

1100
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 3: with you, And we spent a fair amount of time

1101
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 3: talking about the city manager and this most recent review

1102
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 3: of the of the city manager, and the headline in

1103
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 3: the Inquirer is, you know, city council gives the city

1104
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 3: manager share along a glowing job review. And it turns

1105
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 3: out that the city manager wrote her own review talked

1106
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 3: about all these wonderful accomplishments that she has, and Chris Smitheman,

1107
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 3: his analysis was was that this is her at the

1108
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 3: beginning of her executing her exit strategy from the City

1109
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati. As you look at what's happening with the

1110
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 3: city manager right now, do you size things up the

1111
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 3: same way?

1112
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 2: How do you see it?

1113
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1114
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 12: Well, Christopher Smissman, I listened to him yesterday as well.

1115
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 12: He had some great points. And you know, chrispher was

1116
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 12: an amazing friend of mine throughout last year the campaign

1117
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 12: still is to day. I still call him up to

1118
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 12: annoy him constantly when it comes to things along.

1119
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 8: With the city.

1120
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 12: But I think he's right on when it comes to

1121
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 12: the city manager's position, because if we look at last year,

1122
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 12: you know, one of the biggest reasons I actually even

1123
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 12: entertain the thought of running for mayors because we on

1124
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 12: a coffee shop in the West End of Cincinnati, and

1125
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 12: not last year, but the year before, the winter before

1126
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 12: the snow removal was so terrible that customers couldn't come

1127
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 12: into my shop for a week because of the snowplower

1128
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 12: removal on the West End and that was very frustrated

1129
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 12: not only to me, but many businesses that are in

1130
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 12: the Downtown area Central Business District OTR. And that falls

1131
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 12: directly under the leadership of the city manager. Now, the

1132
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 12: way that our city is structured, technically, we should have

1133
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:06,839
Speaker 12: a strong mayor position.

1134
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 13: Now.

1135
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 12: A lot of the structure that you see is designed

1136
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 12: in what's supposed to be called checks and balances, but

1137
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 12: really what it is is that it's kind of a

1138
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 12: scapegoat situation to where there's always a fall, there's always

1139
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 12: somebody that's going to take the blame. That way, the

1140
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 12: people at the top don't run their political careers. And

1141
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 12: that's exactly what's happening with the city manager with the

1142
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 12: mayor right now. And if you look at what's happened

1143
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 12: just over the last year, and the only thing that

1144
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 12: you have to say is that it was a glowing review.

1145
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 1: She did great.

1146
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 12: There's no corrections at least what the public sees needs

1147
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,799
Speaker 12: to be corrections. Well, then that's one of the only

1148
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 12: solutions I have is that she's on her way out.

1149
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 12: She's going to take the fall or the blame, but

1150
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 12: it's going to be done in a way to where

1151
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 12: it seems like she's moving on or she's taking a promotion.

1152
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 12: But it doesn't change the fact that this is not

1153
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 12: been a well run administration from the city manager's perspective.

1154
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 12: The snow file removal, the crime rate, the appointment of officials,

1155
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 12: the wrongful termination of Michael Washington as the police or

1156
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 12: the fire chief. Now, this whole thing with police Chiefdigi

1157
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 12: under our structure falls under the city manager.

1158
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the way that it's set up. But still,

1159
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 3: when it comes to the city manager having purview over

1160
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,719
Speaker 3: all these areas, you would expect, hopefully, you would expect

1161
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 3: some results in some of these areas, but there are

1162
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 3: so many items that are sitting on the table. We

1163
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 3: spent some time with Chris yesterday talking about an eight

1164
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollar unfunded liability as it relates

1165
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,679
Speaker 3: to the retirement program that the City of Cincinnati has

1166
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 3: for its employees. There have been no meaningful efforts in

1167
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 3: that area. We've got a police chief who's been twisting

1168
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 3: in the wind for the last five months. We still

1169
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 3: have the the settlement, and then it looks like the

1170
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 3: settlement or the court case as it relates to the

1171
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 3: former police chief, Mike Washington, is going to come down

1172
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 3: in his favor. That's going to cost the city a

1173
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 3: multimillion dollar settlement. So you don't see any of these

1174
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 3: items addressed in the review when it comes to the

1175
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 3: city manager. And I just wonder, as mayor, would you

1176
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 3: be okay with Look, the city manager should have a

1177
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 3: regular review that goes before council, But as mayor, would

1178
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 3: you be okay and would you abide the city manager

1179
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 3: writing their own review that gets submitted to council for

1180
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:38,719
Speaker 3: their rubber stand.

1181
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 12: Well, here's the thing. If we need a third party

1182
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 12: to investigate the police chief, if we need a third

1183
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 12: party to do a bunch of other things, then we

1184
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 12: would need a third party company or organization to do

1185
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 12: the review of the city manager, I believe, and I

1186
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 12: think that actually is something that has to do with

1187
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 12: the budget as well. When to the budget and the

1188
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 12: audit of how the money is spent in our city.

1189
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,879
Speaker 12: I think that we need to bring in third party

1190
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 12: auditors when it comes to that as well, because we

1191
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 12: need accountability. You know, with any business, with any nonprofit,

1192
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 12: there's accountability, there's third party accountability, just to make sure

1193
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 12: that there's no bias, and we're not seeing that city Hall. Really,

1194
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 12: what we're seeing is that, from my perspective, we have

1195
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 12: a bunch of political pawns that get told what they're

1196
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 12: what to do when it comes to City Council, when

1197
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 12: it comes to the mayor. But really the power or

1198
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 12: the monopoly that you see of power at City Hall

1199
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 12: is in the City Manager's office, and a lot of

1200
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 12: that comes even trickles down to the chief of staff

1201
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,919
Speaker 12: of the mayor, the chief of staff of the CPD.

1202
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 12: I saw that whenever I looked into the internal aspect

1203
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 12: of the CPD. The City Hall has its hands and everything,

1204
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 12: and at the top of all that is the City

1205
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 12: Manager's office.

1206
01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think there was a time when the

1207
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 3: city manager structure that we had here in Cincinnati was

1208
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 3: good for the city and was responsive to Council and

1209
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 3: to what the city or the people of the Cincinnati

1210
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati needed and wanted. Was a good way to

1211
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 3: oversee economic development of the city. But it seems that

1212
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 3: we've gotten to the point now to where we have

1213
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 3: I don't know, certain individuals who look at what's happening

1214
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 3: in the city are part of what is happening in

1215
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 3: the city. And it seems that we cater to there

1216
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 3: once needs and desires more than what is really needed

1217
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 3: when it comes to what the city needs and wants

1218
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 3: and desires. And I think that was pointed out in

1219
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 3: the piece that David Ferrara had in the Inquirer on

1220
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 3: March fifteenth, just a couple of days ago, talking about

1221
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 3: fewer people going downtown to over the Rhine. And this

1222
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 3: is something that this is right in your wheelhouse when

1223
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 3: it comes to the perception and the reality of safety,

1224
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 3: of crime, of economic activity. This is something that you

1225
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,200
Speaker 3: live every single day as far as people people like

1226
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 3: me who live in the suburbs who find any reason,

1227
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 3: and it gets easier and easier to find reasons not

1228
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 3: to come downtown just simply because of the whole idea

1229
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 3: that you know, I don't want to deal with everything

1230
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 3: that comes with it, especially in a sense to where

1231
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 3: it it accrues to the negative and it's it's Cory Bowman,

1232
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 3: this is not a good look that we have going on.

1233
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 2: Right now.

1234
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Now.

1235
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 12: And the nays there basically throughout the year was saying that.

1236
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 10: It was fear monger. You know, there was a bunch of.

1237
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,640
Speaker 12: Fear mongering, and that's why people didn't feel safe to

1238
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:55,679
Speaker 12: come downtown. And that's why we heard the whole year

1239
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 12: of perception. You know, it's a perception. And I use

1240
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 12: the example of you know, we used to be in

1241
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 12: or we still are in youth leadership and youth discipleship,

1242
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 12: and there'd be a case, you know, let's say there's

1243
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 12: a case where a child comes in with a black

1244
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 12: eye and says that they're they have a family member

1245
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 12: at home that beat them. Well, I don't look at

1246
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 12: them and say, oh, well, their perception is their reality.

1247
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1248
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 12: They they're perceiving that home is unsafe. No, they've been

1249
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 12: beaten up at home. They're unsafe. That's the reality. And

1250
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 12: so that's I feel like, well a lot of people,

1251
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 12: especially businesses and people that are trying to make their

1252
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 12: living downtown, that's how they felt that whole year was

1253
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 12: when they're geting told that a perception is their reality.

1254
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,560
Speaker 12: But they're walking around with a black guy. They're walking around,

1255
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 12: you know, figuratively, but they're walking around seeing the violence

1256
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 12: of downtown, seeing that it is an actual reality. It's

1257
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 12: very discouraging for people that are downtown as well, because

1258
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 12: you know, our business in the West End, it actually

1259
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 12: thrives on people being downtown. I'm not trying to fear

1260
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 12: amonger people not come downtown. We love Red games, we

1261
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,679
Speaker 12: love Bengals games, we love the rest shops. We love

1262
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 12: everything about our downtown and central business districts and OTR

1263
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 12: and the shops. We're trying to add more, but that

1264
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 12: can't move forward with the crime the way it is

1265
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 12: right now, because we've seen a rise in violent crime,

1266
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 12: even in this year after the election, after everything's trying

1267
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 12: to be settled, and we're still seeing that uptick. We're

1268
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 12: still seeing a year that's poised to even see more

1269
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 12: victims this year than we did last year.

1270
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Corey Bowman, stay right there. We've got

1271
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 3: to get to a quick break and we'll continue on

1272
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 3: the other side with Corey Bowman on fifty five KRCV

1273
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 3: talk station.

1274
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 2: But go our.

1275
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 14: I heard Radio Music Awards Hard.

1276
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 2: Cutty PRONK Station.

1277
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRV talk station. We continue our conversation with

1278
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 3: Corey Bowman and Corey Bowman, and just to put a

1279
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 3: finer point on the point you were making a little

1280
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 3: while ago about perception versus reality. It's bad enough when

1281
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 3: you wake up and you turn the TV on and

1282
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 3: Cincinnati is making national news because there's a beatdown that

1283
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 3: happens in the street after a big weekend festival, or

1284
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,719
Speaker 3: there's a mass shooting at a nightclub in the East Side,

1285
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 3: any number of things. You know, kids being killed at

1286
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 3: a local park, things like that. But it's the constant

1287
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 3: stream of little things that don't make even the local news.

1288
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 3: Sometimes you talk to I talked to people constantly. I

1289
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 3: came downtown and went back to my car, parked my car,

1290
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 3: and went back to my car. The window was smashed out.

1291
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,959
Speaker 3: I got punched in the face coming out of a nightclub.

1292
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 3: I got stuck up with a gun in my face,

1293
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 3: and I had, you know, I had one hundred bucks

1294
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 3: in my pocket and had to hand that over. That

1295
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 3: kind of stuff happens on a seemingly daily basis. Anecdotal

1296
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 3: evidence like that, But it's those kind of things that

1297
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 3: people hear about, people will talk about. People tell me

1298
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 3: about all the time.

1299
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 2: They don't.

1300
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't even make local news anymore. If someone gets

1301
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 3: shot and they don't get killed, well, it's maybe a

1302
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 3: one line in a thirty second vo that you see

1303
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 3: on Channel twelve, five, nine or nineteen and that's the

1304
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 3: end of that story. So even stuff like that where

1305
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 3: someone gets shot, no one gets seriously injured or it

1306
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 3: could be they think about that.

1307
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 2: I mean, someone.

1308
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 3: Getting shot that's a serious traumatic thing doesn't make the news.

1309
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 3: But it all accrues to this notion that we just

1310
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 3: it's not a good idea to go downtown. So that's

1311
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 3: the kind of stuff that I'm talking about when we

1312
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 3: have this perception that we don't deal with prime here

1313
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 3: in a serious way.

1314
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 12: No, you're absolutely right, And I'd go back to the

1315
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 12: case of Krishanda Win. Kashanda Win was a single mom

1316
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 12: of five that was walking down West Nicking Street last

1317
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 12: year and she was walking home from work. She wasn't

1318
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 12: now at two am, and she was actually on West mcnickon.

1319
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 12: If you put it in your GPS and you're trying

1320
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 12: to get let's say north to Butler County from visiting downtown,

1321
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 12: a lot of times it'll take you down these roads.

1322
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 12: If you're coming from OTR or whatever, it'll take you

1323
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 12: down these roads because they're central roads. They're not like

1324
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 12: back alleyways. And on that road, I saw the camera footage.

1325
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 12: I couldn't post it. I just posted the audio of

1326
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 12: it on my social media. Last year, she gets gunned down,

1327
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:38,559
Speaker 12: and I talked with her mother, Ronda Win, and she

1328
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 12: tells me the condition of the kids. They're traumatized by it.

1329
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 12: You've got two I believe it's two tap football players

1330
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 12: that were affected by it. That that was their mother.

1331
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 12: And this situation happened at ten pm, ten PM on

1332
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 12: a major road in downtown Cincinnati, And situations like that

1333
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,839
Speaker 12: show that it can happen anywhere at any time, because

1334
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 12: we also see shootings throughout the day. You know, we've

1335
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 12: seen shootings that on Fountain Square and a restaurant where

1336
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 12: the guy shoots into a window and then gets free

1337
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,719
Speaker 12: because it's said it's to be self defense.

1338
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 2: Self defense, so everyone.

1339
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, So every one of these stories have a purpose

1340
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 12: to just show people it's not just about fear mongering.

1341
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 12: It's not about just always reporting the negative. That is

1342
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 12: kind of the world we live into where it gets

1343
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 12: more clicks, but that shouldn't be. The purpose of the

1344
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 12: purpose is to expose these stories to show people we've

1345
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 12: got to do better in our city. We've got to

1346
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 12: be able to apply common sense things on public safety

1347
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 12: and stuff that we've said since the beginning. We're low

1348
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 12: on staff, we have to do more lateral hiring. We

1349
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 12: have to back our police, we have to enforce low

1350
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 12: level crimes that de escalate situations, and we need to

1351
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 12: be able to hold the judges accountable, to be able

1352
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 12: to hold these criminals because it's a small portion of

1353
01:23:56,160 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 12: the population, a very small portion of the population is

1354
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 12: conducting the majority of the crime, and it paints a

1355
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 12: bad picture for the community, for the urban community, for

1356
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 12: the people in the West End. They don't like it.

1357
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 12: It's all done by the same people every time, repeat offenders.

1358
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 12: But these have to be held accountable from the judicial

1359
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 12: system as well. Twenty twenty six is an important election

1360
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 12: year for judges in Hamilton County. We need to focus

1361
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 12: on local issues. Yes, there's a governor's race and a

1362
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 12: Senate race.

1363
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: And people need to get involved there, but.

1364
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 12: We need to focus on our local judges to make

1365
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 12: sure that these criminals are held accountable at that level.

1366
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking about that when we had when

1367
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 3: we had the shooting, the mass shooting, nine people shot

1368
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 3: at Riverfront Live a couple of weekends ago, and the

1369
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 3: day after that, the mayor comes out and puts out

1370
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 3: a statement saying that he condemns the shooting and wants

1371
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,800
Speaker 3: to do everything possible to make sure the perpetrators are

1372
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 3: brought to justice and all that sort of thing. And

1373
01:24:55,240 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 3: I'm thinking to myself, why is the mayor making statement

1374
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 3: about this? Why is that news? It's news because it

1375
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 3: doesn't happen all the time. It is something that's what

1376
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 3: news is. News gets reported because these are things that

1377
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 3: people want to know about, and they are things that

1378
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 3: don't happen on a regular basis. We don't have five

1379
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 3: you know, houses don't burn down every single day. So

1380
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 3: a house burns down, it makes the news. The mayor

1381
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 3: comes out and makes a statement that makes the news,

1382
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 3: as if this was something that we are seeing from

1383
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 3: the mayor that we don't see all the time, from

1384
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,759
Speaker 3: the mayor making a statement like this when it comes

1385
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 3: to bringing the perpetrators of crime to justice.

1386
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 2: And so.

1387
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 3: I think a sad statement on the state of affairs

1388
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 3: that we have in Cincinnati when the mayor makes a

1389
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 3: statement to bring people to justice, and that makes news

1390
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 3: because it's so rare to get a statement like this

1391
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 3: out of the mayor's office.

1392
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 12: Well, Dan, I will tell you this because in the

1393
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 12: political world, everybody's just looking to fight everybody, even within

1394
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 12: their own party during these primary seasons, and I think

1395
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 12: that it is important to give credit where credit is due.

1396
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 12: Whether you see the motives behind it as right or wrong.

1397
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 8: It might be politically motivated.

1398
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 12: But when I first saw that statement, I was very

1399
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 12: encouraged because I'm like, hey, at least the mayor is

1400
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 12: bringing attention to it.

1401
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Now.

1402
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,719
Speaker 12: Whether they're setting themselves up to let the city manager

1403
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 12: go or have another scapegoat, I don't know, but there

1404
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 12: is change that's needed and it has to happen from

1405
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 12: the top down. So if we see I want to

1406
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 12: encourage everybody because everybody will say, well, we don't praise AKA,

1407
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 12: don't praise the mayor. He's not doing a good job.

1408
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 12: But we've got to start somewhere. So we've got the

1409
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 12: next three years to deal with this administration. So what

1410
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:50,759
Speaker 12: I would say is that if we're seeing statements where

1411
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 12: he's wanting to back the police, if we're wanting to

1412
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 12: focus on public safety. If he's actually acknowledging that we

1413
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 12: need to fix the potholes, acknowledging that the judges need

1414
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 12: to hold the criminals accountable, well, hey, I'll take whatever

1415
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 12: crub we can get to be able to move forward

1416
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 12: as a city. And we still hold the administration accountable

1417
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 12: for things that need to be done. But whenever statements

1418
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 12: like that happen, don't just move on to the next thing.

1419
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 12: Give credit where credit is due. And so I would

1420
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 12: say that I don't by far, I don't agree with

1421
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 12: everything that's happening from the mayor's office, but when I

1422
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 12: see statements like that, I think that is at least

1423
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:30,600
Speaker 12: a small step in the right direction where we at

1424
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 12: least have to acknowledge the problems in our city.

1425
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 3: That excellent response to that question, Corey Bowman. Do you

1426
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:37,639
Speaker 3: have time for one more segment?

1427
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1428
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right, stay right there, We'll get to a

1429
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:42,759
Speaker 3: quick break and then we'll continue on with Corey Bowman

1430
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRC the talk station.

1431
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 8: The Free I Heard Radio app has over one hundred

1432
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:48,799
Speaker 8: commercial free.

1433
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 2: KRC talk station.

1434
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRCV talk station. Just finishing up our conversation

1435
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 3: here with Cory. Cory Bowman is always appreciate the time,

1436
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 3: always great to have you on. Council Member Mark Jeffries

1437
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 3: put out a response to the street takeover. He's got

1438
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 3: a proposal that would eliminate street takeovers in the city

1439
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, and he wants to report in the next

1440
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 3: thirty days, and so good luck with that, Councilman Jeffries.

1441
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm glad that he is responding to this. But what

1442
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit surprised about is that he also

1443
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 3: showed a social media posting where they actually the people

1444
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 3: that were involved in this said hey, we're putting it

1445
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,520
Speaker 3: out on social media, starting in Columbus, going down to Cincinnati.

1446
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 3: And I'm a little bit surprised that the notion is

1447
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 3: out there that Cincinnati is the place to go if

1448
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 3: you want to go have a street takeover and drive

1449
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 3: your hot rods and do donuts and all that other

1450
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 3: crazy stuff on the streets of Cincinnati. That's my way

1451
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 3: of thinking, is an unfortunate perception that is out there

1452
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 3: amongst those people who would engage and things like this.

1453
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the mayor scheduled an interview with Rockstar

1454
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 12: Games to try to get the next Grand Theft Auto

1455
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 12: to be filmed here as well. Yeah, we couldn't get

1456
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:17,759
Speaker 12: the Sunday see that, we could get the Sundance Film Festival.

1457
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 12: So we're just going to video game.

1458
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 2: We're out now video games. That's great, that's great. But

1459
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 2: you know, you talk credit, credit where credits do. It's

1460
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 2: a little bit behind the curve.

1461
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 3: But you know, look, I think Cincinnati Police did a

1462
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 3: great job on on clamping down on this whole notion

1463
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 3: of these people doing crazy stuff and endangering people on

1464
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,600
Speaker 3: the streets of Cincinnati. So again a little credit, a

1465
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 3: little bit behind the curve, but credit where credits due

1466
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 3: to to try and see that these things don't continue.

1467
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 12: No, I think you're right, you know we when I

1468
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 12: saw the posts, I thought the same thing as I

1469
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:55,560
Speaker 12: did when I've seen a couple of the mayor statements.

1470
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 12: Because this is a council that has been elected. They're

1471
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 12: just starting this this year off in a newly elected year.

1472
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,839
Speaker 12: So I told Mayor aft I have denied the election.

1473
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 12: I said that if you win, then we like as

1474
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 12: far as like if you went throughout the year, if

1475
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,720
Speaker 12: your administration, then we went as a city. So I'm

1476
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 12: rooting them on. I'm I'm praying for our leadership. As

1477
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 12: much as I might disagree about certain things how it's

1478
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 12: been handled. You know, we're in the city and we

1479
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,280
Speaker 12: need to be able to all move forward with this,

1480
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 12: so just to get acknowledgement of the issues when it

1481
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 12: comes to that from Mark Jefferies and others. I even

1482
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 12: had a conversation with Councilwoman Mika Owens in Columbus. We

1483
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 12: were at an event and I just told her politics aside,

1484
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 12: thank you for at least stepping up and serving our

1485
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 12: city as a councilwoman. But I said, I'd love the

1486
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 12: opportunity to meet with you at our coffee shop or

1487
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 12: our church just to discuss these issues, and she seemed

1488
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 12: very open to it. So there's there's ways to move forward,

1489
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 12: but also at the same time still keep people's feet

1490
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 12: in the fire just because it's not an election.

1491
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 8: Yeer.

1492
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 12: I believe that last year kind of showed people that

1493
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 12: they can have a voice in all these issues and

1494
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 12: it really does make change.

1495
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: It might be slow.

1496
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 12: Big ships turn on small rudders, so it might be

1497
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 12: a slow turning, but that's something that we've always got

1498
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 12: to keep accountable at city Hall.

1499
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 3: All right, well, Corey Bowman, you're a better man than

1500
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 3: I and I appreciate the time and as always, keep

1501
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 3: up the great work and we'll be talking to you

1502
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 3: again before too long. But thanks for being here this

Speaker 2: Happy all the.

1524
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:33,959
Speaker 14: Citizens in the greater Cincinnati area. I was just curious

1525
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 14: and I was looking up and it looks like about

1526
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:40,440
Speaker 14: ten percent of the population of Cincinnati have Irish heritage.

1527
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be.

1528
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 14: Some real celebrating going on today in Cincinnati. And that's

1529
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 14: a good thing, man, because we need, we need some

1530
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 14: fun once in a while, don't.

1531
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, And this time of year, Saint Patrick's Day,

1532
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 3: that percent of Irish heritage here in Cincinnati gets closer

1533
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 3: to about ninety ninety five percent.

1534
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 2: So it's my last.

1535
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:04,639
Speaker 14: Name is Zawastowski, and believe it or not, my mother's

1536
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 14: name is Shirley. My sisters are Colleen and Patty, and

1537
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 14: I've got twenty five percent Irish. I mean, it's it's

1538
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 14: always been a really big day and it's a great

1539
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 14: American tradition, and boy, yeah, I'm just so I hope

1540
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 14: people do get out, and you know, I think you know,

1541
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 14: if you remember, you know, this is kind of a

1542
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 14: holiday where COVID kind of killed all of our local businesses, remember,

1543
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 14: And and that was like it made me so mad

1544
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:33,960
Speaker 14: because the wine you know, started imposing these shutdowns right

1545
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 14: when these businesses were going to make money. That is like,

1546
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 14: you know, thirty percent of their income for the year,

1547
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 14: and so it's been a while to recover. But I

1548
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:45,720
Speaker 14: hope people will turn out to restaurants and bars and

1549
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 14: just get together like we used to do.

1550
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,519
Speaker 1: We really need that today to get together.

1551
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1552
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,919
Speaker 3: Well, we had a we had a statewide health director

1553
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 3: back then during the Wuhan Amy acton and of course

1554
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,759
Speaker 3: he's running for governor now, and so you know, hopefully

1555
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 3: that's a good reminder of the kind of thing that

1556
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:10,759
Speaker 3: she was all about. And I really, I really felt

1557
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 3: bad for Mike the Wine during that time because I

1558
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 3: really felt like even though he was having these daily

1559
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 3: news conferences and updates on what's happening with the Wuhan

1560
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 3: and everything the state government was doing, I really felt

1561
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 3: like he was lost to a degree during all.

1562
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 1: The time he was He was also misled. Yeah, I mean,

1563
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: she just lied.

1564
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 14: She was getting said that data from that group out

1565
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 14: of London that the less set up to see the

1566
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 14: lies about COVID deaths to Amy.

1567
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 1: Acting, and she was just going on these press consens

1568
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 1: telling the Wine you know that five hundred thousand ohionlands

1569
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:48,760
Speaker 1: are going to die if you don't shut down the

1570
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: schools and the bars.

1571
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 14: He was sabotaged, and now she's running for governor. It's

1572
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 14: mind blowing. You just like, how do you even show

1573
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 14: your face? You're such a fraud and yet you going

1574
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 14: to run for governor. Wow, that's pretty pathetic.

1575
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1576
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 3: I always wondered why Trump never got the credit for

1577
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 3: the inverse of that, because when when the Wuhans started,

1578
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 3: we heard I think the number was twenty one million Americans,

1579
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 3: twenty two million Americans were going to die because this

1580
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 3: so contagious, it's so bad. We got to do all

1581
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 3: these things, the mass, the six foot, all this kind

1582
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 3: of stuff, and in the end, and look, a million

1583
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:30,519
Speaker 3: deaths related to COVID is a tragic thing. But if

1584
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 3: we were being told in the beginning that twenty two

1585
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 3: or twenty three million people were going to die because

1586
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,719
Speaker 3: of this, why didn't Trump get credit for saving twenty

1587
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 3: two million lives?

1588
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, because he's Trump, right, and nothing.

1589
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 2: Any other Democrats would have got credit for.

1590
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,639
Speaker 1: That, Oh, for sure, you know, it is. It is.

1591
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 1: That's a great point though, and it rewrites it relates

1592
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:54,479
Speaker 1: to what's going on right now when America with the

1593
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 1: war and things like that. Point. Trump just has proven.

1594
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 14: To have incredible instinct. The guy just has a way

1595
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 14: of figuring things out before the rest of the market

1596
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 14: and the rest of the people. And we're seeing that

1597
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,479
Speaker 14: play out, you know here, and you know, I just

1598
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:14,799
Speaker 14: think that people just got to give him more credit

1599
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 14: and certainly give him a benefit of the doubt, because

1600
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,080
Speaker 14: he sure has he been right more than he's been wrong.

1601
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit frustrating to when you look

1602
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 3: at what's going on with Operation Epic Fury and you see,

1603
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 3: you know, I get up and I see more headlines

1604
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 3: this morning about more strikes launched by Hezbollah in certain

1605
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 3: parts of the Middle East and the I guess there

1606
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 3: are still parts of the regime there in Iran that

1607
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:43,720
Speaker 3: remain intact and they're able to make orders and talk

1608
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 3: about how they're going to resist the United States and Israel.

1609
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 3: So it's a little frustrating to think that it's only

1610
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:53,679
Speaker 3: been what we're entering our third week now on this war,

1611
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:57,760
Speaker 3: but to have these certain elements that remain intact and

1612
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 3: are able to mount a resistance. And look, in the

1613
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,759
Speaker 3: United States, I hope we keep going in there putting

1614
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 3: the hammer down, get this job done, and at least

1615
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 3: have an outcome that is worthy of all the bluster

1616
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:16,160
Speaker 3: that we had going into this thing.

1617
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 1: Well, that's why your listeners listen to you. That's why

1618
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 1: you know.

1619
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 14: On my podcast on Saturday, my team was really about perspective.

1620
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 1: You've got to keep perspective. Like you said, we've been

1621
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:33,360
Speaker 1: doing this for sixteen days. Okay, look at the damage

1622
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: we've done to their military, into everything, compared to Iraq, Okay,

1623
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: compared to Afghanistan, compared to anything in the history of

1624
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 1: the world. Where's your perspective? And they keep giving this

1625
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 1: nonsense about oh, the gas prices. You know, look at

1626
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:51,639
Speaker 1: these gas prices. Go back a couple of years. Joe

1627
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:54,679
Speaker 1: Biden had gas prices like this and there was no more.

1628
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 14: We were directly involved in the others, the Ukraine Russia war,

1629
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 14: but we had the same level gas crisis. And here's

1630
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 14: the point I want to make to your listeners. Listen,

1631
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 14: what's the price of freedom? Donald Trump is doing something

1632
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 14: that no president, no leader in the world would do

1633
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 14: for forty seven years. He's finally taking out the most

1634
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 14: the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world that it's

1635
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:23,879
Speaker 14: killed thousands.

1636
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 1: They just killed thirty thousand of their own people and

1637
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: they think, you know, you're supposed to say we should

1638
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 1: stop the war because we're paying thirty cents a gallon

1639
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:37,520
Speaker 1: more for a gasoline. I remember, you know, I'm seventy.

1640
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 14: I'm an old guy, but I remember reading about World

1641
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 14: War Two where our grandparents had to, you know, not

1642
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 14: eat certain foods because the troops needed and it couldn't

1643
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 14: have soap stockings because they needed for the war effort

1644
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 14: and rubber, and we committed to the war effort. Listen,

1645
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 14: when you go to the gas station today and the

1646
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 14: price is up, just smile and say, I'm happy to

1647
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,759
Speaker 14: pay this because I want to support the war effort,

1648
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 14: because I want to end this tyranny. Don't say this

1649
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 14: is bad now we all want to pay less, But

1650
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 14: what is your contribution to the war effort. Well, don't

1651
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 14: talk bad about the gas prices. Talk about how I

1652
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 14: understand why President Trump is doing this. I'm proud to

1653
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 14: do my part. And you know what, if when we

1654
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 14: win this, those prices are going to come down lower

1655
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 14: than you've ever seen because he's doing the right thing.

1656
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 3: Now, that reminds me, Under Biden, we were supposed to

1657
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 3: be proud that we were standing up to putin when

1658
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 3: we were playing for Putin's price hike, remember that, and

1659
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 3: we're so we were supposed to be happy of that.

1660
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 3: But of course the same under Democrat logic, the same

1661
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:40,719
Speaker 3: reasoning doesn't apply here.

1662
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 2: Tom Zowasowski, stay right there. We're going to continue on.

1663
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 3: We've got to get to a quick break, and we'll

1664
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 3: talk to you on the other side of this. On

1665
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 3: fifty five KRC the talk station.

1666
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 8: Got a hot take read the room.

1667
01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 2: Don'ty five krc DE talk Station.

1668
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC DE talk Station, Dan Carol for Brian Thomas,

1669
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:06,160
Speaker 3: continuing our conversation with Tom Zostowski. And Tom, I cannot

1670
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 3: recall a time where I've been more frustrated with the

1671
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 3: lack of effort to get a piece of legislation approved,

1672
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 3: the Save America Act. I'm looking at a poll that

1673
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:20,879
Speaker 3: MSNBC put out today this morning, and here are the numbers.

1674
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:27,959
Speaker 3: Eighty three percent of US adults support requiring all voters

1675
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 3: all voters to show government issued identification when they vote.

1676
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:36,879
Speaker 3: That is up from seventy seven percent in twenty twelve.

1677
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 3: So when it comes to Republicans, eighty three percent of

1678
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:46,760
Speaker 3: Republicans support this. You've got seventy seven percent of Democrats

1679
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 3: who support this. I think the number is seventy eight

1680
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 3: percent when it comes to minorities. And we have so

1681
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 3: many rhinos, so many weak willed and limp wristed Republicans

1682
01:40:57,280 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 3: in the Senate right now, that we are not able

1683
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 3: to ram this through. To me, it is disgraceful and

1684
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 3: disgusting that we've gotten to the point on this to

1685
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 3: where I guess they're going to bring it to the floor.

1686
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going to happen, but the resolve

1687
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 3: on the part of the Republicans here is absolutely shameful.

1688
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 14: Well, Van, you know, it makes you question, how can

1689
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 14: you be a representative republic? How can you pretend that

1690
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:34,280
Speaker 14: you're a representative republic when you can't pass something should

1691
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 14: be unanimously that eighty five percent of people want. This

1692
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 14: is why this is a real crisis for our country,

1693
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 14: because if the Republicans won't do it, and they can, Dan,

1694
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 14: don't let don't let them tell you they can't. If

1695
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 14: they won't do it, it's because they know there's cheating

1696
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,759
Speaker 14: going on and they're okay with that. So why should

1697
01:41:56,800 --> 01:42:00,640
Speaker 14: we vote? Why should citizens vote if you know your

1698
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 14: vote's going to be canceled out by as Chuck Schumer said,

1699
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 14: tens of millions of illegals who would be taken off

1700
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:10,759
Speaker 14: the voter rolls if the Save Actors passed, why should

1701
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 14: we vote?

1702
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous because I don't think that legislation should be

1703
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:21,440
Speaker 3: passed just because of polling or a popularity of the legislation.

1704
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 3: But when it comes to the lies and the truth

1705
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:30,120
Speaker 3: about this, and the Democrats keep putting out the lies

1706
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 3: that all these millions of Americans are going to be disenfranchised,

1707
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 3: that somehow minorities and people of color don't have the

1708
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 3: ability to get an ID, if you're a married woman,

1709
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 3: that this is going to make it almost impossible for

1710
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 3: you to be able to cast the vote. It is

1711
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 3: complete nonsense, a complete lie. And yet they continue to

1712
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 3: perpetrate this, And then you know, we have the specter

1713
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 3: of the filibuster.

1714
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 2: Hanging over our heads.

1715
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:03,760
Speaker 3: Go ahead, let him Philip buster and then Tom and

1716
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:08,400
Speaker 3: I've read where Mitch McConnell is behind the scenes blocking

1717
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:13,680
Speaker 3: all of this. It is unbelievably frustrating that we are, well,

1718
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 3: I look, we're not that far away from the midterms

1719
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:20,640
Speaker 3: in November, and the idea that we can't have election integrity.

1720
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 3: To me is just it's just one of the worst

1721
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:25,480
Speaker 3: things that I can ever imagine.

1722
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 14: I'm happy you brought this up because literally, just like

1723
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 14: twenty minutes ago, I posted on our website at we

1724
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:36,679
Speaker 14: Thepeopleconvention dot Org an article by this guy. His name

1725
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 14: is Alexander Muse. He's on access a Muse on AX.

1726
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 14: You may have seen some of the stuff, and he

1727
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:46,919
Speaker 14: breaks down how the filibuster really works and why.

1728
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 1: Soon is lying.

1729
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 14: He's just fought out lying about the fact that they

1730
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,720
Speaker 14: can't use the filibuster. He breaks this down historically on

1731
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,679
Speaker 14: our website, and you got to read it because I

1732
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 14: never saw anybody else break it down like this. That

1733
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 14: just says everything fun is saying, like, well, they could

1734
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:09,040
Speaker 14: do unlimited amendments and debate is unlimited.

1735
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 1: None of that is true. The majority is in charge

1736
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 1: of the Senate. And if you just do what you're

1737
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: supposed to do, if you just follow the Senate rules, no,

1738
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 1: none of this. Are the dender saying, oh, they're breaking

1739
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 1: Senate rules itself. No they're not.

1740
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 14: If you just follow the Senate rules, this thing passes

1741
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 14: without any problem. It may take weeks, but it still passes.

1742
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:35,719
Speaker 14: Everyone listened to this show. You need to call Houston's office,

1743
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 14: You need to call Rino's office, and you need to

1744
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 14: call Fune's office today today and demand that they passes it.

1745
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 14: Don't recess, don't leave town until this is on Trump's

1746
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 14: desk because we have to have the stand because if

1747
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:52,799
Speaker 14: we don't have it, I got Nusia.

1748
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: Our people aren't going to turn out in November because

1749
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 1: there's no reason to turn out because your vote doesn't count.

1750
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 3: It's it's absolutely horrible, Tom Zoistowski. If people want to

1751
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:06,919
Speaker 3: find out more about you and your podcast and your website,

1763
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 3: chance to speak. We've spoken, I guess on emails and

1771
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 13: trying to drive on these icy roads.

01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 13: to the station? Are you? Are you calling in? Yeah,

01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 3: Calling it in, calling it in today. That's all right,

1784
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 3: is perfectly perfectly fine by me. I hope you're feeling

1785
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 3: good this morning. You were all over the street, takeover

1786
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 3: over the weekend, and it see, it seems to me

1787
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 3: that police really responded to this thing. And we had

1788
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:15,599
Speaker 3: Ken Kober on yesterday talking about this, but it seems

1789
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:18,880
Speaker 3: to me that the police responded to this really in

1790
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 3: about the most effective way they possibly could have.

1791
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:27,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, they had great intelligence, Dan, They knew it

1792
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 13: was coming. It started up north osp pursued several cars

1793
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 13: that ran and they thought they were They thought they

1794
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 13: were cool. They thought, nah, you know, nobody's going to

1795
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 13: stop us. And they went to Green Township they got

1796
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 13: caught on flock there. I know that. I believe Mason

1797
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 13: pursued a couple of cars. I have that correctly. And

1798
01:47:57,880 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 13: so when they came into the city, the city was

1799
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 13: ready for him. And let me tell you what, call

1800
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 13: me it totally impressed because they trapped them. They trapped

1801
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 13: him in the high school parking lot.

1802
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 1: They tricked them.

1803
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, these idiots tried to go over stopsticks, curbs. I mean,

1804
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 13: they mess. They tore their own cars up trying to

1805
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 13: get away and it just did not work. So and

1806
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 13: and I have to give I have to give some

1807
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:35,519
Speaker 13: praise to uh the Sheriff's office. They absolutely brought extra

1808
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 13: people in the intake to make sure everybody got processed

1809
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 13: in the city had to recall guys into the toe

1810
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 13: in pound lot because they were just overflowing with cars

1811
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:53,599
Speaker 13: coming in. So my hope is that the word gets

1812
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 13: out to everybody that, uh, you know, we're not playing anymore.

1813
01:48:57,320 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 13: We're not going to tolerate this.

1814
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 1: It's done now.

1815
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 13: Most of these people were from out of town, not

1816
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:09,840
Speaker 13: a whole ton of locals. But the lessons are hard, Dan,

1817
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:11,680
Speaker 13: so they learned one.

1818
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 2: Well.

1819
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if you heard me talking to Corey

1820
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 3: Bumman in the previous previous segment about an hour or

1821
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:21,560
Speaker 3: so ago. And I was given credit to Mark Jefferies

1822
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 3: because he announced yesterday that he's got a emotion out

1823
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:30,799
Speaker 3: there to effectively end the street takeovers on Cincinnati streets,

1824
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 3: which I'll give credit where credit is due. It looks

1825
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 3: like he's taking this seriously. But what I was surprised

1826
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 3: about was that there was actually a social media posting

1827
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 3: on this about this. I'm looking at it right here,

1828
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 3: Ohio takeover, right out, oh Columbus to Cincinnati, the takeover

1829
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 3: right out, and it has the date on here three fourteen,

1830
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 3: twenty six, eight pm and they ride out at eight

1831
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,360
Speaker 3: forty five and head on down to Cincinnati. How did

1832
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 3: this get to the point to where these people feel

1833
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 3: comfortable putting this on some social media that we're going

1834
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 3: to ride down to Cincinnati and take over the streets

1835
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati.

1836
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:09,320
Speaker 13: Well, they've always they've always done that. I've posted many

1837
01:50:09,360 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 13: times where takeovers were being planned. They have an event,

1838
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 13: they have an event scheduler.

1839
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 2: So it's fantastic. See that's why, that's why I love

1840
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:24,040
Speaker 2: Signal ninety nine, because I had no idea that things

1841
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 2: like this were going on.

1842
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:28,439
Speaker 13: Well, you say, how did this happened? I'll tell you.

1843
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 13: When you have a mayor and a city manager and

1844
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 13: an Irish Rowlie telling your police chief we're not we're

1845
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 13: not going to enforce this type of stuff. We're not

1846
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:45,280
Speaker 13: going to no pursuit, We're not going to enforce it.

1847
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:47,479
Speaker 13: It's not a priority. Let me tell you what it

1848
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 13: is a priority. It is dangerous and when the work

1849
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 13: gets out, hey, Cincinnati is cool. They're not going to

1850
01:50:55,960 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 13: do nothing. And so many offers have tried to shut

1851
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 13: those down and they've been denied that glory.

1852
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: So I was very.

1853
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 13: Very pleased that they they them and several other agencies

1854
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:16,040
Speaker 13: I know Norwood was involved. Several agencies responded to the

1855
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 13: street takeover because they've all had enough. It's dangerous.

1856
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:24,839
Speaker 3: Well and again props the Cincinnati Police for for handling

1857
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 3: this probably in the best way possible. I think that, Uh,

1858
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 3: it just shows and it really shows just how good

1859
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:34,519
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Police are when it comes to, uh, to dealing

1860
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:36,640
Speaker 3: with these issues. Now, we need the you know, the

1861
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 3: other part of the legal system to do their part

1862
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 3: and make these people face real and serious consequences for

1863
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 3: being part of that.

1864
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 13: Absolutely, and you know what else we need. We need

1865
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 13: to revise the O r C like Kentucky and so

1866
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,639
Speaker 13: many other states have that says when we touch these

1867
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 13: cars and takeovers and drag racing and all of that,

1868
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 13: that we can that we can take the car, we

1869
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 13: can sell the cars. We could crush the cars.

1870
01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:03,719
Speaker 1: Lou Though.

1871
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 13: Crush the cars all the time from street takeovers. They

1872
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:14,599
Speaker 13: crush them. Yeah, they Yeah, a lot of well some

1873
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:19,320
Speaker 13: of them the VEN numbers don't match. There's or there's

1874
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:22,200
Speaker 13: no VIN number. But you know a lot of states

1875
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 13: take them and then they auction them. The perpetrators don't

1876
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 13: get them back. So that's an expensive hobby when you

1877
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 13: have a state law that allows, you know, you to

1878
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:37,680
Speaker 13: do things like that. So hopefully we're going to move

1879
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 13: in that direction.

1880
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:42,719
Speaker 3: So tell me what you made of the the news

1881
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 3: conference yesterday, as short as it may have been. We

1882
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 3: had the police chief, Teresa Thiji, who, if I'm not mistaken,

1883
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:52,799
Speaker 3: she really didn't say anything. And it was all Steven

1884
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 3: M who characterized the city investigation into into the police

1885
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:02,960
Speaker 3: chief as a hatchet jump and I'm guessing he's not

1886
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 3: far off the mark there.

1887
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 13: No, it was a witch hunt from jump. So everybody

1888
01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 13: with an IQ over seventy knew that. So they have

1889
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 13: to keep extending it because they don't really have anything.

1890
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 13: So speculation and conjecture here, they're gonna they're going to

1891
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 13: create something, and good luck to them with that. Because

1892
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:31,360
Speaker 13: Steven M and the Sydney law Firm they don't They

1893
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 13: do not bluff. That's why Steven M has been my

1894
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:38,240
Speaker 13: attorney since twenty twenty two. They don't bluff, and you

1895
01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:40,599
Speaker 13: don't want to play chicken with them because you will lose.

1896
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 13: This Thursday, the city is going to get their backsides

1897
01:53:45,360 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 13: handed to them again in federal court against Steven M

1898
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 13: and Michael Washington. So their final appeal is this week.

1899
01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 13: I'll be posting the audio link to that to that hearing,

1900
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:03,479
Speaker 13: and that's going to be glorious. I'm wishing them the

1901
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:06,160
Speaker 13: very best, and you know what, it's going to set

1902
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 13: a precedent, Dan, you can't just wrongfully terminate people just

1903
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 13: because you know the mayor or Cheryl Long get a

1904
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:20,599
Speaker 13: wild hair to do so. So you know, Chief Fiji

1905
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:24,400
Speaker 13: thirty five years impeccable career, not a blemish in her

1906
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:27,880
Speaker 13: personnel file, not a single write up. Also, not a

1907
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:33,960
Speaker 13: single evaluation as chief. Same thing with Mike Washington, nothing

1908
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 13: in his file, no blemishes in his file, not a

1909
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:41,080
Speaker 13: single evaluation as his tenure as chief. So they don't

1910
01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 13: properly document anything as to why they're moving towards a termination.

1911
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 13: Same thing with Anita Pettis. I mean, Cheryl Long is

1912
01:54:54,240 --> 01:55:00,160
Speaker 13: impulsive and reckless in my opinion, and the city solicit

1913
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 13: or I don't know what their issue is or the

1914
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 13: head of HR, but they probably all need to go

1915
01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 13: back to school, would be my thought.

1916
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:11,360
Speaker 3: Signal ninety nine, if you can hang around for another segment,

1917
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 3: I want you to stay right there because I've got

1918
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 3: some more questions for you on the other side. So

1919
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 3: signal ninety nine, if you would please stay right there,

1920
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 3: we'll get to a quick break and continue on here

1921
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 3: on fifty five KRC The talk station.

1922
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 2: Five KRZ the talk station fifty five KRC.

1923
01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 3: Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas for

1924
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 3: having a nice conversation this morning with our friend Signal

1925
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 3: ninety nine, who is staying warm and not dealing with

1926
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 3: the nasty weather that we have out there. As it

1927
01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 3: relates to Mike Washington, he was fired abruptly terminated in

1928
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, so this is now twenty twenty six,

1929
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:56,400
Speaker 3: So we're going on three years with this case and

1930
01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:58,680
Speaker 3: then we've got a hearing coming up on Thursday. I

1931
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:00,320
Speaker 3: don't know that that will be the end of it,

1932
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 3: but it looks like it could pave the way for

1933
01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 3: the end of that case to come. Do you have

1934
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 3: a sense that they want to do the same thing

1935
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 3: with Teresa Thigi have this drag out another I mean,

1936
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 3: the city manager will be gone by then. As I

1937
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:16,839
Speaker 3: don't know if you were listening to Chrismytham and yesterday,

1938
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 3: but his thought was that this is the beginning of

1939
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 3: the exit strategy for the for the city manager who's

1940
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 3: looking to get out and get onto her next gig.

1941
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 13: Well, and she really needs to be somebody else's problem.

1942
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:36,200
Speaker 13: That that may be why she got such a stellar review,

1943
01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 13: which was laughable to say the very least. Her her

1944
01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:48,240
Speaker 13: evaluation was written by all fairy cell things. But maybe

1945
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:52,200
Speaker 13: that's the window. You know, firing a city manager is difficult,

1946
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 13: so you know, maybe in my perfect world, this paves

1947
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:00,840
Speaker 13: the way for her to brand herself to some other city,

1948
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 13: maybe in California or something. I don't know, but far

1949
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 13: away from us, and wherever she goes Dan, I'll troll

1950
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 13: her there too. I don't care. You know, she's she's you.

1951
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 7: Know, you.

1952
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 2: Are right?

1953
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:20,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I kind of am.

1954
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:20,960
Speaker 1: You know.

1955
01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:25,320
Speaker 13: She she blamed me for all of these threats against

1956
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,840
Speaker 13: her and death threats, which I'm sorry. I don't believe

1957
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 13: she had actual death threats. I get death threats all

1958
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 13: the time. I don't have I'm not screaming for protection.

1959
01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:39,520
Speaker 13: I mean, come on, you know. Uh so, yeah, it's

1960
01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 13: a little personal. And what she's done to Teresa Cigi

1961
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:49,480
Speaker 13: and what she's done to Michael Washington, both chief of

1962
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 13: the CPD and the CFT, both settled in steep tradition.

1963
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:58,080
Speaker 13: Did I mean you're aware that the Cincinnani Fire Department

1964
01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:02,080
Speaker 13: is the first professional fire department in the country, absolutely,

1965
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 13: and the CPD. Yeah, the CPD is the second professional

1966
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:14,839
Speaker 13: police department in the country. And we've worked completely well,

1967
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 13: very well. We've performed extremely well for oh, I don't know,

1968
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,800
Speaker 13: over one hundred years. But you know, she has to

1969
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 13: come in and try to fire the chiefs of both

1970
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:30,440
Speaker 13: agencies over her ineptness. I don't think so.

1971
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1972
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:35,440
Speaker 3: I have said before that you look at Mike Washington,

1973
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:40,760
Speaker 3: who did not want to play along with the ideas

1974
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 3: of political correctness or diversity, equity and inclusion. He wanted

1975
01:58:45,840 --> 01:58:48,400
Speaker 3: to deal with the realities of what was going on

1976
01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:51,280
Speaker 3: in the fire department that did not sit well with

1977
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:54,480
Speaker 3: the city manager. And then in the other case of

1978
01:58:54,680 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 3: the police chief, she tried to, in my opinion, tried

1979
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 3: to comedy these notions of the city manager and what

1980
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:05,920
Speaker 3: was important to her and what was important to the

1981
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 3: city leadership while maintaining a viable police force. And so

1982
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:14,440
Speaker 3: you've got sort of two people, two chiefs, on the

1983
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 3: opposite end of the spectrum when it came to dealing

1984
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 3: with the city manager. But both of them sort of

1985
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 3: wind up in the same place dismissed. And now the

1986
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:28,360
Speaker 3: likelihood the specter of both of them having multimillion dollar

1987
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 3: lawsuits against the City of Cincinnati. So I look at that,

1988
01:59:33,120 --> 01:59:36,360
Speaker 3: and that says to me that when it comes to

1989
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 3: dealing with someone who has an ideology like this and

1990
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:44,760
Speaker 3: wants to pursue these sorts of goals, when it comes

1991
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:48,760
Speaker 3: to you know, DEI and political correctness, you just can't win.

1992
01:59:49,200 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 3: You can no matter how you try to to pick

1993
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:55,920
Speaker 3: whatever vector you're going to come at this from.

1994
01:59:56,400 --> 02:00:00,880
Speaker 13: Well, Chief Washington told her we have to diversity. We've

1995
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 13: got women, we've got people of color, we've got people

1996
02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:07,880
Speaker 13: within the LGBTQ spectrum. We have all of that already.

1997
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:12,480
Speaker 13: But we're not going to take an unqualified candidate and

1998
02:00:12,640 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 13: jump them over a more qualified candidate under DEI and

1999
02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:21,360
Speaker 13: call it, you know fair. We're not going to do that.

2000
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:24,520
Speaker 13: They're going to earn their rank. And she did not

2001
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 13: like that With Teresa Fiji, Chief Fiji. The problem was,

2002
02:00:30,160 --> 02:00:34,080
Speaker 13: you know, the Chief worked on House Bill six sixty

2003
02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 13: seven with Cindy Abrams getting that going, which is phenomenal,

2004
02:00:41,080 --> 02:00:44,440
Speaker 13: and then you know she incorporated a lot of new

2005
02:00:44,480 --> 02:00:50,160
Speaker 13: technology of course as Chief. But her crucial mistake, her error,

2006
02:00:50,680 --> 02:00:52,800
Speaker 13: which wasn't a mistake at all was going to a

2007
02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:55,560
Speaker 13: chief meeting for the county, which they have every month,

2008
02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:59,080
Speaker 13: and saying, hey, can we all work together, can we help?

2009
02:00:59,120 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 13: Can we can we you know, get this crime knocked down?

2010
02:01:02,720 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 13: Can we get the judges on board to do their jobs?

2011
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:12,400
Speaker 13: And they literally muzzled her for that and made a

2012
02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:18,120
Speaker 13: public statement that she wasn't allowed to make statements or

2013
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,760
Speaker 13: do things like that without permission from the city manager's office.

2014
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 13: I mean, are you kidding me? She's the chief of

2015
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 13: police of the Cincinnati Police Department. She was well within

2016
02:01:29,480 --> 02:01:31,600
Speaker 13: her right to do that. And Dan, I'm going to say,

2017
02:01:32,400 --> 02:01:37,640
Speaker 13: back in August, the mayor was absolutely praising her, praising

2018
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:40,520
Speaker 13: her all the time. He praised her in July, he

2019
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:45,080
Speaker 13: praised her in August, he praised her in September. And

2020
02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:49,839
Speaker 13: I said several times in several different posts, Chief Fiji,

2021
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:54,960
Speaker 13: they're going to sacrifice you. They're worried about the selection.

2022
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:59,320
Speaker 13: They're going to sacrifice you. You know, come out now

2023
02:02:00,200 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 13: and and get on the record about what's going on,

2024
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:04,760
Speaker 13: because they're going.

2025
02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:05,360
Speaker 7: To use you.

2026
02:02:07,080 --> 02:02:11,320
Speaker 13: And dismiss you to further, you know, their chances of reelection.

2027
02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:15,520
Speaker 13: And that's exactly what they did. She never did anything wrong.

2028
02:02:15,680 --> 02:02:19,440
Speaker 13: She did what she was supposed to do according to them,

2029
02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:23,040
Speaker 13: and they praised her for it, and then, you know,

2030
02:02:23,200 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 13: and then they sacrificed her. So now they're going to

2031
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:28,840
Speaker 13: now they're going to pay the price, and we're going

2032
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 13: to pay the price.

2033
02:02:30,760 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, go ahead, go ahead.

2034
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:36,640
Speaker 3: No, No, I was just going to say, I mean,

2035
02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 3: I'm listening to you talk about this. And I remember

2036
02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:44,560
Speaker 3: a time and not that long ago, when Cincinnati had

2037
02:02:44,600 --> 02:02:48,920
Speaker 3: a reputation around the state and around the country as

2038
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 3: literally having the best run professional police force in the

2039
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:57,400
Speaker 3: entire country. And there are people who legitimately thought that

2040
02:02:57,480 --> 02:03:02,200
Speaker 3: and pointed to the excellence that that was exhibited here

2041
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:05,320
Speaker 3: on a regular basis. And it just seems that we

2042
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 3: are so far away from that now. And uh, and

2043
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:11,480
Speaker 3: I just wonder, I just wonder what kind of perception

2044
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:16,440
Speaker 3: other police and law enforcement officials have of the Cincinnati

2045
02:03:16,600 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 3: Police Department now that they see that we've got all

2046
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:24,000
Speaker 3: this politics entwined with with what's happening.

2047
02:03:25,800 --> 02:03:29,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, and that's that's sad and unfortunate, and it's happening

2048
02:03:29,360 --> 02:03:32,280
Speaker 13: all over the country. You know, you're having these far

2049
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:38,360
Speaker 13: left liberal ideologies rooted in you know, the elections office

2050
02:03:38,680 --> 02:03:42,560
Speaker 13: and the auditor's office, and the mayor and the city manager,

2051
02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:44,200
Speaker 13: and it just goes on and.

2052
02:03:44,080 --> 02:03:44,560
Speaker 9: On and on.

2053
02:03:44,640 --> 02:03:49,880
Speaker 13: They you know, the key, the cornerstone last two years

2054
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:56,200
Speaker 13: ago was getting a liberal in the prosecutor's office. That's

2055
02:03:55,960 --> 02:04:00,320
Speaker 13: that was the key. That was the last uh no

2056
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:04,400
Speaker 13: standing was to get a liberal into the prosecutor's office.

2057
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,560
Speaker 13: Because now they've got the courts, they've got the city,

2058
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:11,240
Speaker 13: they've got the prosecutor's office, they've got the sheriff's office.

2059
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:18,720
Speaker 13: It's a lot. So unless the voters wake up and

2060
02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:23,640
Speaker 13: start doing their due diligence by actually voting, nothing's going

2061
02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:26,840
Speaker 13: to change because they're doing exactly what they campaigned they

2062
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:27,520
Speaker 13: were going to do.

2063
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:31,320
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Signal ninety nine get you've got

2064
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:33,240
Speaker 3: time to hang around for one more quick segment.

2065
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:36,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, okay, stay right there.

2066
02:04:36,120 --> 02:04:38,080
Speaker 3: We'll get a quick break in here and get back

2067
02:04:38,080 --> 02:04:41,400
Speaker 3: with Signal ninety nine here on fifty five KRCV Talk Station.

2068
02:04:46,120 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRCV Talk Station, Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas

2069
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:55,440
Speaker 3: and spending some time today with Signal ninety nine on

2070
02:04:55,480 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 3: the phone and Signal ninety nine. It's great to talk

2071
02:04:58,240 --> 02:05:01,640
Speaker 3: to you in person. Let me ask you about our

2072
02:05:01,680 --> 02:05:05,280
Speaker 3: friend Todd Zinzer has been looking into what he calls

2073
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 3: receipts recipients of leverage support as it relates to City

2074
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:13,560
Speaker 3: Hall and these different moneies that go out to support

2075
02:05:13,600 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 3: these different NGOs and certain government functions and things like that.

2076
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:20,880
Speaker 3: And he writes this, he writes, and this has.

2077
02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:21,360
Speaker 2: Been going on.

2078
02:05:21,440 --> 02:05:24,560
Speaker 3: He's been looking at the period of twenty twenty to

2079
02:05:24,600 --> 02:05:27,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, and he writes this that the first

2080
02:05:27,680 --> 02:05:31,320
Speaker 3: thing you notice is many of these same organizations received

2081
02:05:31,360 --> 02:05:35,320
Speaker 3: funding every year, meaning the process is not a true competition.

2082
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:39,880
Speaker 3: And more significantly, these organizations are essentially part of the

2083
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 3: city government without the transparency and accountability. And so he's

2084
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:47,840
Speaker 3: got it all deep. I mean, and you know the

2085
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:50,120
Speaker 3: great work that Todd Zenzer does. Do you have a

2086
02:05:50,200 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 3: sense of where this is going and the kind of

2087
02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:56,640
Speaker 3: thing that he is likely to uncover the more he

2088
02:05:56,680 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 3: looks into this.

2089
02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:04,800
Speaker 13: Let me tell you something about Todd Zenzer. He is

2090
02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:10,760
Speaker 13: one of the most phenomenal finders of the truth in

2091
02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:15,040
Speaker 13: the numbers I've ever seen. He's almost like a savant.

2092
02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 13: It's it's kind of crazy to watch him work. You

2093
02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 13: could give him a stack of reports and he'll find it.

2094
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:27,480
Speaker 13: Believe me, he's gonna find it. He's gonna run it down.

2095
02:06:28,080 --> 02:06:32,840
Speaker 13: The problem is they don't care. They know he's a watchdog,

2096
02:06:34,880 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 13: they know he's a whistleblower. They simply don't care. I

2097
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 13: mean they feel the same way about me though. You know,

2098
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 13: they think I'm just a fly in the oint. Man,

2099
02:06:44,320 --> 02:06:49,680
Speaker 13: I'm a hindrance. You know, Todd's gonna find it. And

2100
02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:54,200
Speaker 13: I post stuff that Todd does quite frequently because he

2101
02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:59,720
Speaker 13: amazes me. He doesn't hedge at all. There's no exaggeration

2102
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:03,280
Speaker 13: in the work that he does. He just shows you

2103
02:07:03,360 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 13: the truth. Here it is boom and again. The problem is,

2104
02:07:08,280 --> 02:07:11,160
Speaker 13: you know a lot of the media outlets don't really

2105
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:16,520
Speaker 13: cover it. It's not that sensational, I guess, but it is.

2106
02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 13: I mean, all of it, it's all important. I mean,

2107
02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 13: look at three CDC, how much control they have in

2108
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:27,920
Speaker 13: our city. They're in the pocket of the mayor or

2109
02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:30,240
Speaker 13: he's in their pocket. I'm not quite sure at this

2110
02:07:30,320 --> 02:07:38,040
Speaker 13: point who controls who. But it's ridiculous to me the

2111
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:42,040
Speaker 13: contracts that they give and the processes that they do,

2112
02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:44,440
Speaker 13: and they're just completely unchecked.

2113
02:07:44,800 --> 02:07:49,480
Speaker 3: Dan, Yeah, I remember, I was stunned when he found

2114
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:54,440
Speaker 3: the timesheets and the documentation for Iris Rollie, and he

2115
02:07:54,640 --> 02:07:56,880
Speaker 3: wrote about and pointed and he didn't write it, he

2116
02:07:56,880 --> 02:08:00,360
Speaker 3: didn't make it up. He pointed out how several of

2117
02:08:00,400 --> 02:08:03,360
Speaker 3: the timesheets that she submitted for the work that she

2118
02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:07,400
Speaker 3: had done to the city manager's office to in order

2119
02:08:07,440 --> 02:08:11,200
Speaker 3: to get paid were simply uh he he talked about

2120
02:08:11,200 --> 02:08:15,040
Speaker 3: how they were simply just appeared to be photo copies

2121
02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 3: of previous time sheets with the same misspellings and they yeah,

2122
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:24,960
Speaker 3: and the same verbatim. Uh, you know, went to this meeting,

2123
02:08:25,040 --> 02:08:27,240
Speaker 3: did this you know, did this work at X, Y

2124
02:08:27,360 --> 02:08:30,720
Speaker 3: and Z and and he pointed that out and literally

2125
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:35,160
Speaker 3: there was no no curiosity, no response, no call for

2126
02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:39,880
Speaker 3: an investigation, absolutely nothing as it related to Iris Rolie

2127
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:44,160
Speaker 3: and the the uh you know, the nice contract that

2128
02:08:44,240 --> 02:08:45,800
Speaker 3: she has with the city of Incident.

2129
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:50,080
Speaker 13: Well, she was rewarded with that new contract because she

2130
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:52,400
Speaker 13: got the mayor reelected, plain and simple.

2131
02:08:52,560 --> 02:08:53,320
Speaker 1: She did the.

2132
02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:58,280
Speaker 13: Work, she got him reelected, and you know, because of that,

2133
02:08:58,520 --> 02:09:01,720
Speaker 13: she got rewarded with this new car track, which cracked

2134
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:05,000
Speaker 13: me up because you know, over the summer when those

2135
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:09,000
Speaker 13: videos came out, the FOP released them, we released them

2136
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:16,040
Speaker 13: of her harassing police officers downtown, actually endangering them and

2137
02:09:16,080 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 13: interfering with them. A council member let it slip that

2138
02:09:22,880 --> 02:09:27,280
Speaker 13: she was going to be terminated on Wednesday. Wednesday came around,

2139
02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:35,160
Speaker 13: she wasn't terminated, And then Thursday, Cheryl long tells several

2140
02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:42,800
Speaker 13: heads of different departments and the FOP that IRIS will

2141
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 13: no longer be affiliated with the police department at all,

2142
02:09:48,120 --> 02:09:51,480
Speaker 13: and in capacity that we're we're not going to terminate her,

2143
02:09:51,520 --> 02:09:53,560
Speaker 13: We're going to use her, you know, for something else.

2144
02:09:54,160 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 13: And that's not true. I mean, that's that whole thing

2145
02:09:57,080 --> 02:10:01,960
Speaker 13: was a lie. So she still has her fingers in

2146
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:05,800
Speaker 13: the Cincinnati Police Department. She still has her fingers, and

2147
02:10:05,840 --> 02:10:10,480
Speaker 13: what she will allow the state to do as far

2148
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:14,280
Speaker 13: as tending that's help what OSP is allowed to do

2149
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 13: and not do in reference to the collaborative agreement, and

2150
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:23,400
Speaker 13: the whole thing's laughable. So I again, who's running who?

2151
02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 13: Because I don't believe Sharah long Run is Iris's boss.

2152
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:33,120
Speaker 13: Technically she is, but I'm pretty sure Iris calls all

2153
02:10:33,160 --> 02:10:36,000
Speaker 13: the shots and Cheryl just yes, ma'am.

2154
02:10:36,320 --> 02:10:38,600
Speaker 3: You know, and we're not talking about chump change here,

2155
02:10:38,640 --> 02:10:42,120
Speaker 3: We're talking about the extension of this contract. Pays her

2156
02:10:42,160 --> 02:10:46,160
Speaker 3: in excess of five hundred, five hundred thousand dollars between

2157
02:10:46,160 --> 02:10:49,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four and twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven.

2158
02:10:49,520 --> 02:10:52,560
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is serious money, and it's

2159
02:10:52,600 --> 02:10:55,800
Speaker 3: a there's no there's no there's no call for, you know,

2160
02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,960
Speaker 3: a thorough vetting of this. There's no call for an

2161
02:10:58,960 --> 02:11:02,960
Speaker 3: examination of this, an accounting or a reckoning in any

2162
02:11:03,040 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 3: sort of way of of exactly what what that money

2163
02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 3: is being spent on.

2164
02:11:07,800 --> 02:11:09,920
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, they're not going to question I five.

2165
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:13,320
Speaker 2: Hundred and seventy grand. Amazing, absolutely amazing.

2166
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:17,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know what, they could pay me just seventy grand,

2167
02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:24,360
Speaker 13: and I could do a better job.

2168
02:11:24,480 --> 02:11:28,480
Speaker 3: Dan, You go down to go down and pass out

2169
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:32,520
Speaker 3: a little literature down there by you know, government.

2170
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:32,760
Speaker 2: Square, and.

2171
02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:36,600
Speaker 13: I would have governments stack, you know.

2172
02:11:36,600 --> 02:11:40,640
Speaker 3: Some pringles and stuff like potato chips. Take care take

2173
02:11:40,640 --> 02:11:43,760
Speaker 3: care of violent crime. That that's how you saw violent

2174
02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:45,120
Speaker 3: crime in the city of Cincinnati.

2175
02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 13: You know, if they put me in government charge of

2176
02:11:48,640 --> 02:11:51,640
Speaker 13: government square for about two weeks and they gave me

2177
02:11:51,680 --> 02:11:56,080
Speaker 13: the resources of the CPD and the eighth cso a

2178
02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 13: government square wouldn't be an issue anymore.

2179
02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:00,960
Speaker 2: And you take some skittles down there, some stuff like that.

2180
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:04,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, oh yeah, I throw skittles at people really hard.

2181
02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:09,280
Speaker 13: You know there would be no snacks.

2182
02:12:09,400 --> 02:12:09,560
Speaker 6: Dan.

2183
02:12:09,800 --> 02:12:17,120
Speaker 3: I can tell you that some oranges, some oranges, like

2184
02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:19,200
Speaker 3: at halftime during the soccer gaming. Know, you got to

2185
02:12:19,200 --> 02:12:22,720
Speaker 3: have some oranges, orange slices, things like that. Take it easy, kids,

2186
02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:26,600
Speaker 3: enjoy an orange slice single ninety nine. Great to talk

2187
02:12:26,640 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 3: to you, appreciate the insight.

2188
02:12:28,680 --> 02:12:30,240
Speaker 13: Hey, can I say one more than please do?

2189
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2190
02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:31,520
Speaker 2: Please do? Go ahead.

2191
02:12:32,560 --> 02:12:35,520
Speaker 13: Did you catch the statement that the Chief of Staff

2192
02:12:35,560 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 13: or the mayor put out yesterday in reference to that

2193
02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:40,600
Speaker 13: press conference by Steve m.

2194
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 2: Oh No, Tell me about that. I did not see

2195
02:12:44,720 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 2: the response to that.

2196
02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 13: Oh. It says the Mayor's office welcome to results of

2197
02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:52,360
Speaker 13: the ongoing process and does not have a role in

2198
02:12:52,440 --> 02:12:57,160
Speaker 13: administrative personnel matters such as these. We remain focused on

2199
02:12:57,200 --> 02:13:02,720
Speaker 13: supporting the city administration and CPD and keeping residents safe.

2200
02:13:03,880 --> 02:13:06,360
Speaker 13: I laughed so hard when I saw that.

2201
02:13:07,320 --> 02:13:11,320
Speaker 3: Keeping keeping people safe, that's the number that is. It's

2202
02:13:11,360 --> 02:13:13,880
Speaker 3: the number one priority, the number one.

2203
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:17,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know the mayor. According to the mayor, the

2204
02:13:17,160 --> 02:13:18,320
Speaker 13: city has always been safe.

2205
02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:22,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, because I never talked to anyone.

2206
02:13:23,720 --> 02:13:26,600
Speaker 13: You say, it's not safe. You're a racist and hear

2207
02:13:26,680 --> 02:13:27,360
Speaker 13: this and that.

2208
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:31,200
Speaker 3: No, I don't know about you, but I never hear

2209
02:13:31,240 --> 02:13:34,280
Speaker 3: from anyone who goes downtown and here's their windows smashed

2210
02:13:34,280 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 3: out or gets punched in the face by a thug,

2211
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:39,920
Speaker 3: or you know, gets a gun stuck in their face

2212
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:41,880
Speaker 3: and gets held up for the cash in their pocket.

2213
02:13:42,320 --> 02:13:45,400
Speaker 3: And that that I never hear from anyone. Stuff like

2214
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:47,800
Speaker 3: that that happens downtown. Stuff that doesn't.

2215
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:50,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, never hear about it. It's a haven

2216
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:52,160
Speaker 13: of safety downtown.

2217

2252
02:16:02,440 --> 02:16:04,960
Speaker 3: want to thank Joe Strecker for everything. I mean, he

2253
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:07,720
Speaker 3: lined up the whole show today. I mean Corey Bowman

Speaker 3: on in the seven o'clock hour. Also Tom Lorestowski a

2255

Speaker 3: great talking with him and then signal ninety nine to

2256
02:16:13,280 --> 02:16:17,000
Speaker 3: wrap things up at eight oh five. So I appreciate

2257
02:16:17,040 --> 02:16:18,560
Speaker 3: all the work by Joe on that. If you want

2258
02:16:18,560 --> 02:16:21,280
Speaker 3: to hear those conversations, I am told they will be

2259
02:16:21,400 --> 02:16:24,480
Speaker 3: on the podcast a little bit later on, so you

2260
02:16:24,480 --> 02:16:26,600
Speaker 3: can look for that a little bit later on today

2261
02:16:26,600 --> 02:16:29,560
Speaker 3: if you want to relive that bit of greatness that

2262
02:16:29,600 --> 02:16:33,080
Speaker 3: we had some greatness going on in the White House yesterday.

2263
02:16:34,080 --> 02:16:36,240
Speaker 3: Actually I brought in some audio sound bites and what

2264
02:16:36,280 --> 02:16:37,920
Speaker 3: the heck, I got a little time right here, so

2265
02:16:38,760 --> 02:16:42,119
Speaker 3: might as well play him. President Trump was signing an

2266
02:16:42,160 --> 02:16:46,320
Speaker 3: executive order that named JD. Vance and he talked about

2267
02:16:46,320 --> 02:16:49,640
Speaker 3: this during the State of the Union address. He said

2268
02:16:49,720 --> 02:16:52,199
Speaker 3: JD Vance would be in charge of the Anti Fraud

2269
02:16:52,240 --> 02:16:57,640
Speaker 3: Task Force, and he also took a shot at Kamala Harris,

2270
02:16:57,680 --> 02:17:00,640
Speaker 3: saying it's not going to be like Kamala where she

2271
02:17:00,800 --> 02:17:03,680
Speaker 3: was put in charge of the border. So the JD

2272
02:17:03,840 --> 02:17:06,720
Speaker 3: Vance being in charge of things will be slightly different

2273
02:17:06,760 --> 02:17:09,680
Speaker 3: than what we saw with Kamala being in charge of things.

2274
02:17:09,720 --> 02:17:13,400
Speaker 3: But one of the things that happened there President the

2275
02:17:13,440 --> 02:17:16,959
Speaker 3: presidents in the Oval office, JD. Vance is there, The

2276
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:19,440
Speaker 3: head of the Federal Trade Commission is there. Off to

2277
02:17:19,480 --> 02:17:22,800
Speaker 3: the side was Steven Miller, a great White House advisor,

2278
02:17:23,120 --> 02:17:28,760
Speaker 3: and he was actually asked a question during this press availability,

2279
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:30,879
Speaker 3: and he's a little bit off Mike here, so he's

2280
02:17:30,879 --> 02:17:33,360
Speaker 3: a little bit hard to hear. But listen to Stephen

2281
02:17:33,400 --> 02:17:37,520
Speaker 3: Miller put a put in perspective the amount of fraud

2282
02:17:37,959 --> 02:17:40,879
Speaker 3: in this country and how this is really going to

2283
02:17:41,800 --> 02:17:44,879
Speaker 3: take aim and help tackle the fraud that we experience

2284
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:47,920
Speaker 3: every year here in the United States. Steven Miller, Joe

2285
02:17:47,920 --> 02:17:50,000
Speaker 3: cut number four, thank you as the president.

2286
02:17:50,600 --> 02:17:54,720
Speaker 11: Well, under President Trump's leadership, as we've seen, the illegal

2287
02:17:54,720 --> 02:17:57,760
Speaker 11: flow across the southern border was stopped completely. But what

2288
02:17:57,800 --> 02:18:00,440
Speaker 11: we found since President Trump came into off this is

2289
02:18:00,440 --> 02:18:03,360
Speaker 11: that the Democrats have set up a system to funnel

2290
02:18:03,440 --> 02:18:07,160
Speaker 11: hundreds of billions and ultimately trillions of dollars to migrants

2291
02:18:07,160 --> 02:18:10,280
Speaker 11: that are in our country, oftentimes from places like Somalia.

2292
02:18:10,640 --> 02:18:15,360
Speaker 11: So as an example, Ice recently asked a group of

2293
02:18:15,400 --> 02:18:18,280
Speaker 11: illegal immigrants that were in detention whether or not they

2294
02:18:18,280 --> 02:18:21,600
Speaker 11: were receiving medicaid. Half of them raised their hands and

2295
02:18:21,720 --> 02:18:25,720
Speaker 11: volunteered that they were on Medicaid, just volunteered that these

2296
02:18:25,680 --> 02:18:28,320
Speaker 11: aren't the ones who are hiding it right. They also

2297
02:18:28,400 --> 02:18:30,480
Speaker 11: asked the legal aliens how they paid their medical bills,

2298
02:18:30,560 --> 02:18:33,360
Speaker 11: and they said that if they don't have Medicaid, they

2299
02:18:33,400 --> 02:18:35,720
Speaker 11: go to hospitals, they get free care there and they

2300
02:18:35,720 --> 02:18:38,000
Speaker 11: build it to the taxpayers, so they aren't paying for

2301
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:39,440
Speaker 11: any of their own health care in this country. This

2302
02:18:39,560 --> 02:18:41,840
Speaker 11: is one example, and we've seen this over and over

2303
02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:44,520
Speaker 11: and over again. So under President Trump's leadership, and then

2304
02:18:44,560 --> 02:18:47,400
Speaker 11: of course with JD and the head of the FTC,

2305
02:18:47,760 --> 02:18:51,000
Speaker 11: Andrew Ferguson, we're going to see the first ever effort

2306
02:18:51,080 --> 02:18:54,960
Speaker 11: in American history to reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars

2307
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:57,039
Speaker 11: that were sold from taxpayers. I believe, but I know

2308
02:18:57,080 --> 02:18:59,920
Speaker 11: President Trump believes that when this stuff is exposed, we

2309
02:19:00,080 --> 02:19:02,400
Speaker 11: will see that if all of it were stopped, it

2310
02:19:02,400 --> 02:19:05,720
Speaker 11: would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of

2311
02:19:05,720 --> 02:19:09,080
Speaker 11: wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here

2312
02:19:09,520 --> 02:19:12,720
Speaker 11: is the primary cause of the national debt, and this

2313
02:19:12,800 --> 02:19:14,920
Speaker 11: is the first ever effort to shut that down. Thank you,

2314
02:19:14,959 --> 02:19:15,400
Speaker 11: mister Press.

2315
02:19:16,240 --> 02:19:19,840
Speaker 3: So they're Steven Miller, and this is why whenever I

2316
02:19:19,879 --> 02:19:22,640
Speaker 3: have a chance to use a Steven Miller SoundBite, I

2317
02:19:22,760 --> 02:19:25,880
Speaker 3: do it because there is no one. And look, Marco

2318
02:19:25,959 --> 02:19:29,160
Speaker 3: Rubio is great too. I love it when Marco Rubio

2319
02:19:29,200 --> 02:19:33,400
Speaker 3: takes to the microphone and explains situations as they relate

2320
02:19:33,480 --> 02:19:38,680
Speaker 3: to geopolitical things that are going on, world politics, what

2321
02:19:38,840 --> 02:19:41,480
Speaker 3: is going on with the State Department, why we have

2322
02:19:41,760 --> 02:19:45,440
Speaker 3: the foreign policy that we do. Marco Rubio is just

2323
02:19:45,520 --> 02:19:47,720
Speaker 3: hands down the absolute best. But when it comes to

2324
02:19:47,720 --> 02:19:51,520
Speaker 3: stuff like this, Steven Miller is just absolutely amazing. And

2325
02:19:51,600 --> 02:19:54,640
Speaker 3: listen to what he was saying. He's not talking about

2326
02:19:54,920 --> 02:19:58,680
Speaker 3: billions of dollars. He is talking about trillions. And he

2327
02:19:58,720 --> 02:20:01,039
Speaker 3: said he used the word trillion I don't know what

2328
02:20:01,080 --> 02:20:04,199
Speaker 3: three or four times during the course of that statement,

2329
02:20:04,760 --> 02:20:07,560
Speaker 3: and he's saying that to make a point that we

2330
02:20:07,600 --> 02:20:10,119
Speaker 3: are not talking about a little bit of chump change here.

2331
02:20:10,760 --> 02:20:16,600
Speaker 3: This is serious money. And if the trillion dollar number

2332
02:20:16,760 --> 02:20:20,640
Speaker 3: is true, I don't know it most likely is, but

2333
02:20:20,720 --> 02:20:23,160
Speaker 3: if it's not a trillion dollars, it is very very

2334
02:20:23,200 --> 02:20:27,440
Speaker 3: close to a trillion dollars, and he talked about if

2335
02:20:27,440 --> 02:20:30,800
Speaker 3: we can just get this squared away, just this part

2336
02:20:31,440 --> 02:20:35,039
Speaker 3: of the fraud and the stealing that goes on from

2337
02:20:35,040 --> 02:20:40,520
Speaker 3: the federal government, then we will be making serious strides

2338
02:20:40,840 --> 02:20:44,240
Speaker 3: to get our fiscal house in order. And so this

2339
02:20:44,320 --> 02:20:48,720
Speaker 3: is an important thing. And jd Vance, this is going

2340
02:20:48,800 --> 02:20:51,600

2341

Speaker 3: Jade Vance, this is going to be your show. And

2342
02:20:55,240 --> 02:20:56,960
Speaker 3: I hope he knocks it out of the park, so

2343
02:20:57,000 --> 02:20:59,360
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. That's it for me. I got

2344
