Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday midday
Speaker 1: on a on a Chili Saturday Morning. Well, once again, folks,
Speaker 1: who got a short show today? Out of here at
Speaker 1: eleven or the twenty fifth ranked University of Cincinnati Bearcats
Speaker 1: against the Arizona Wildcats. So our coverage will begin for
Speaker 1: that game at eleven, and the game itself is at noon,
Speaker 1: so out of here at eleven. I'll tell you, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you probably saw this already, but the BBC, British
Speaker 1: Broadcasting Corporation, ran a documentary about President Trump's January sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one speech, the famous j sixth speech that
Speaker 1: he delivered before the attack on the Capitol occurred, and
Speaker 1: the documentary. The BBC documentary was called Pamma. It was
Speaker 1: intentionally misleading because there was a clip in there that
Speaker 1: conveniently omitted President Trump's urging his supporters to protest peacefully.
Speaker 1: Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna play the clip
Speaker 1: here back to back. What you'll hear first is what
Speaker 1: the BBC played. Uh, then we're gonna stop it and
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about the rest of it. So, Drew,
Speaker 1: if you could play that please.
Speaker 2: We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be
Speaker 2: there with.
Speaker 3: You, and we fight.
Speaker 4: We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell,
Speaker 4: you're not gonna have a country anymore.
Speaker 1: That's what they played. Here's the thing, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear this next one what the BBC did, and it's incredible,
Speaker 1: the hoodspah of these people. They took the the tape
Speaker 1: of what Trump said, they splice it together and you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear it in just a second here. But what
Speaker 1: they did, and you hear it the first one you heard.
Speaker 1: They fifty four minutes later, almost an hour later into
Speaker 1: the speech, that's when they did their edit that you
Speaker 1: just heard. Let's play the original. If we could drew
Speaker 1: bunk down to the Capitol.
Speaker 2: And we're got it.
Speaker 5: Cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.
Speaker 1: And we fight. We fight like hell, and if you
Speaker 1: don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a
Speaker 1: country anymore. Well, there you go. That goofy music in
Speaker 1: between was speeding up the thing fifty four minutes, almost
Speaker 1: a damn hour, where the BBC edited that thing and
Speaker 1: just threw the edit onto the clip that they played absolutely,
Speaker 1: unequivocally deceitful, deceptive and wrong, but par for the course
Speaker 1: with the mainstream media. And of course the BBC is
Speaker 1: a British publication, but they're worse than we are with
Speaker 1: respect to media bias. I think so. Like I said,
Speaker 1: they stitched together remarks that the President made fifty four
Speaker 1: minutes apart to make it appear like it was one
Speaker 1: long statement and again blatant biased editing the President. He
Speaker 1: ain't standing still for this. He asked for a full
Speaker 1: and fair retraction of the documentary and the BBC complied
Speaker 1: with that. He also asked for an apology from the BBC.
Speaker 1: He got it, and here's the good one. He's asking
Speaker 1: for one billion dollars in damages and the BBC says
Speaker 1: it will not pay him anything. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: we shall see about that. They're not going to fork
Speaker 1: up sixteen million or anything close to it, but they
Speaker 1: will pay. They will pay because finally, finally, someone is
Speaker 1: holding these people accountable. You know, you may recall the
Speaker 1: situation not too long ago with during the election with
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. She gave a horrible interview to CBS for
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Of course, CBS. They had to run to
Speaker 1: the aid of their friend there and they doctored that
Speaker 1: up to make it look It still sounded awful, but
Speaker 1: it didn't sound as awful as the original, the true
Speaker 1: clip that they had. So anyway, Trump got sixteen million
Speaker 1: dollars out of that. He's taken all of this money
Speaker 1: and putting it towards his presidential library and museum. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, by the time he's done, he might
Speaker 1: not have any contribution at all for that because we'll
Speaker 1: let the damn media pay for it. So also as
Speaker 1: a result of the defamation, BBC News CEO lady by
Speaker 1: the name of Deborah Turnus and BBC Director General guy
Speaker 1: named Tim Davey, they resigned because of this. Now listen
Speaker 1: to this. Miss Turnus made this statement after she left
Speaker 1: where she just continued the lives. Here's some of the
Speaker 1: things she said, and I'm quoting. I stepped down over
Speaker 1: the weekend because the buck stops with me. That's the truth.
Speaker 1: But she goes on. But I'd like to make one
Speaker 1: thing very clear. BBC News is not institutionally biased. That
Speaker 1: is a lie. She went on to say, our journalists
Speaker 1: are not corrupt. That's a bigger lie. And she also
Speaker 1: goes on to say, quote, our journalists strive for impartiality.
Speaker 1: That's bigger lie number two. But here's the biggest lie
Speaker 1: of all that she said when she went out the door,
Speaker 1: she said, quote there is no institutional bias close quote again,
Speaker 1: the biggest lie of all. These people are so arrogant
Speaker 1: that they don't think we're going to catch these things,
Speaker 1: or maybe he'd say so powerful in that they run
Speaker 1: any damn thing they want, and damn the consequence, well,
Speaker 1: they ran into a bulldozer by the name of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: They are now being held accountable. So BBC joined CBS
Speaker 1: News as news outlets that Trump has roughed up for
Speaker 1: their lives and bias. And like I said, CBS ended
Speaker 1: up shelling out sixteen million in July for that edited
Speaker 1: transcript on sixty minutes of Kamala Harris. And now the
Speaker 1: BBC's going to help and pay for the line library.
Speaker 1: The arrogance of these networks is stunning, absolutely stunning. But
Speaker 1: their days of no accountability are over, thank you, Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1: Yet another example of the blatantly biased cover is the
Speaker 1: blatantly biased coverage of the recent government shutdown, which finally
Speaker 1: got resolved this week. The Media Research Center. If you're
Speaker 1: not familiar with them, you should be. It's a great
Speaker 1: organization that they provide some accountability for these mainstream media people.
Speaker 1: So anyway, they did some research on the Big Three,
Speaker 1: and we talked about this last week a little bit.
Speaker 1: The Big three, ABC, CBS, and NBC their coverage of
Speaker 1: the shutdown, and their analysts examined every evening nude newscast
Speaker 1: on those three ABC, CBS, and NBC between October first
Speaker 1: and October thirty first, across the eighty seven reports and
Speaker 1: news briefs which discussed the government shutdown. Listen to this,
Speaker 1: eighty seven percent of the coverage favorite Democrats, eighty three
Speaker 1: evaluative statements in which anchors of reporters were critical of Republicans,
Speaker 1: but just twelve criticizing Democrats. Broadcast shutdown coverage heavily favored
Speaker 1: Democrats over Republicans, as I said, eighty seven percent to
Speaker 1: thirteen percent. Only twelve reports and that's less than a fifth,
Speaker 1: even mentioned that Senate Democrats had refused to vote for
Speaker 1: a clean continuing resolution. They just forgot about that, And
Speaker 1: not a single report mentioned that Democrats voted back in
Speaker 1: March to end the same Obamacare subsidies that they were demanding.
Speaker 1: So again, just another example in the lesson to the
Speaker 1: story is I think media bias will only stop when
Speaker 1: they're held accountable for their corruptions, their lives, and their bias.
Speaker 1: And finally, because of President Trump, that is happening. You know,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, there's only one person that
Speaker 1: the media I think hated even more than Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And in just a second you're going to hear this man.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you'll recognize his voice, but boy, way
Speaker 1: do you hear about what he has to say? If
Speaker 1: you could play that, please Drew.
Speaker 6: And we think of the media in this country, the
Speaker 6: problem is that they have a sense of self righteousness,
Speaker 6: a double standard.
Speaker 1: On issue after issue after issue.
Speaker 6: They can find everything wrong with somebody else, but they
Speaker 6: will not look inside and ever admit that they could
Speaker 6: be wrong themselves. And what was involved here in the
Speaker 6: Watergate thing was the unfairness of it. Oh, there was
Speaker 6: a legitimate thing to investigate, but they refused to balance it.
Speaker 6: They allowed their advocacy to get ahead of their reporting, which.
Speaker 1: Is their job to do.
Speaker 6: You know, the media is always talking about the imperial presidency,
Speaker 6: the power of the imperial presidency. I think we ought
Speaker 6: to hear a little bit of discussion of the imperial
Speaker 6: media and its power. You see, presidential power is limited,
Speaker 6: limited with the courts, limited with the Congress. The media's
Speaker 6: power is unlimited.
Speaker 1: There you go. Of course, that's President Richard E. Nixon,
Speaker 1: the great President Richard Nixon. I don't give a damn
Speaker 1: what anybody says. I mean, did you hear that?
Speaker 3: Was that?
Speaker 1: Not right on the money? And those people hounded that man?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you heard him say right about in
Speaker 1: the middle he says talking about what, Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: something to report there. I mean, obviously there wasn't. The
Speaker 1: President Nixon admits that. But the way that they do
Speaker 1: it and the way that they stuck it to that man,
Speaker 1: and you know what, he didn't really fight back because
Speaker 1: it wasn't done. Then if Dan Rather said something, you know,
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be taken as gospel. So they
Speaker 1: didn't do what Trump did and say, hey, whoa wait
Speaker 1: a minute, this is bull crap. You're gonna get sued
Speaker 1: for defamation. And of course, you know, we know that
Speaker 1: CBS coughed up and the BBC's going to cough up.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In respect to Dan Rather, you may recall, and this
Speaker 1: was so great when George W. Bush was running for
Speaker 1: president in nineteen eighty eighth, what's called Rather was interviewing
Speaker 1: him and he asked some questions that the president didn't
Speaker 1: think were appropriate. And he this is what President Bush
Speaker 1: the first said. I should have got that clip too.
Speaker 1: He's talking about it. He goes, well, Dan, I guess
Speaker 1: it was not as bad as that time that you
Speaker 1: walked off the air during the coverage of the tennis match.
Speaker 1: What happened was Rather was on the air for something.
Speaker 1: CBS cut in with a tennis match, and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what to look on. Dan Rather's face was precious
Speaker 1: because there he was President Bush calling them out. And
Speaker 1: you know you remember too, I'm sure with George W. Bush,
Speaker 1: the situation with him Dan Rather again, CBS sixty minutes
Speaker 1: fabricates this story about tell President George W. Bush evaded
Speaker 1: the draft, and not evaded the draft, but questions about
Speaker 1: his service in the Army National Guard. He was a pilot,
Speaker 1: and they didn't take that sitting down. The Bush campaign
Speaker 1: looked at it, they investigated it. It was just wrong.
Speaker 1: It was based upon forged documents and CBS finally finally
Speaker 1: had to admit that they quote made errors unquote, and
Speaker 1: shortly thereafter Dan Rather was given his walking papers. You know,
Speaker 1: as President Nixon said, you just heard it. The media's
Speaker 1: power is unlimited. And President Nixon was absolutely right about that.
Speaker 1: You know, they answered to no one. I mean, think
Speaker 1: about it. Politicians elected officials who they answered to. Of course,
Speaker 1: they answered to the voters, but the media answers to
Speaker 1: no one.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: And because of President Trump, they're finally being held accountable.
Speaker 1: And that needed to happen. I don't think media bias
Speaker 1: is going to go away overnight. It's not, but you
Speaker 1: gotta keep you gotta keep hitting them. You know, when
Speaker 1: they screw us, when to fame our people, we got
Speaker 1: to do something about it. And you know Vice President too,
Speaker 1: he's great on this stuff. He was on a Sunday
Speaker 1: show not too long ago. I forget who it was.
Speaker 1: I think it was Stephanopolis, and Stephanopolis was giving him
Speaker 1: some grief about something totally unfounded. Vice President Vance gave it. No,
Speaker 1: it was Martha, I forget her, Lit Cravitz whatever. She
Speaker 1: was given him all kinds of grief about something that
Speaker 1: was completely unfounded, and he said, hey, Martha, you ought
Speaker 1: to hear yourself and just laid her out. George Stephanopolis.
Speaker 1: I think this was last Sunday. I think Secretary of pissent.
Speaker 1: The Treasury Secretary was interviewing him, and man he laid
Speaker 1: Stephanopolis out to where Stephanopolis is sitting in his chair.
Speaker 1: Blah blah. It needs to happen. It is happening, Thank god.
Speaker 1: We ain't gonna get rid of media bias in a month,
Speaker 1: a week, a year, but if we keep hitting him,
Speaker 1: keep holding them accountable, we will anyway. That's what I think.
Speaker 1: As always, I want to know what you think. Seven
Speaker 1: four nine, seven thousand are the numbers to call if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of it. Mike Allen,

Speaker 1: Hey, it's it Mike Allan Saturday Midday talking about media bias,
Speaker 1: blatant media bias on behalf of the BBC. Who Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump is going to ring up for a lot of money?
Speaker 1: As I said, now, I guess I'm repetitive. I'm sorry. Finally,
Speaker 1: finally someone is holding these sobs, these arrogant you know
Speaker 1: what's accountable, and damn it, it's high time. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: want to one more time. It only goes about a minute.
Speaker 1: I just want you to hear President Nixon one more
Speaker 1: time on media bias and frankly, media pomposity drew if
Speaker 1: he could play that. Please.
Speaker 6: When we think of the media in this country, the
Speaker 6: problem is that they have a sense of self righteousness,
Speaker 6: a double standard.
Speaker 1: Issue after issue after issue.
Speaker 6: They can find everything wrong with somebody else, but they
Speaker 6: will not look inside and ever admit that they could
Speaker 6: be wrong themselves. And what was involved here in the
Speaker 6: Watergate thing was the unfairness of it. Well, there was
Speaker 6: a legitimate thing to investigate, but they refused to balance it.
Speaker 6: They allowed their advocacy to get ahead of their reporting,
Speaker 6: which is their job to do. You know, the media
Speaker 6: is always talking about the imperial presidency, the power of
Speaker 6: the imperial presidency. I think we ought to hear a
Speaker 6: little bit of discussion of the imperial media and its power.
Speaker 6: You see, presidential power is limited, limited with the courts,
Speaker 6: limited with the Congress. The media's power is unlimited.
Speaker 1: There you go, and he's right, the media's power is unlimited.
Speaker 1: It really is who do they answer to? You know,
Speaker 1: they've been referred to as the fourth branch of government
Speaker 1: by some and they are as powerful, I think as
Speaker 1: one of the first. The real three branches of government executive, legislative,
Speaker 1: and judiciary. Nixon hit the nail on the head, and
Speaker 1: of course he was on the receiving end of just
Speaker 1: unbelievable media bias. And you know, people give me grief
Speaker 1: when I say this, but I don't care. Richard M.
Speaker 1: Nixon got ran out of the job and ran out
Speaker 1: of the town for basically doing what men do sometimes,
Speaker 1: sticking up for their buddies. And he gets run out
Speaker 1: of town on a rail for that. Then you compare
Speaker 1: and contrast that with Joe Biden and the Biden crime family,
Speaker 1: with his family members stuffing millions and millions of dollars
Speaker 1: into their pockets and into their bank accounts which went
Speaker 1: through about twenty other bank accounts. First with influence peddling.
Speaker 1: It's not right, it's history. You know, Nixon admitted his
Speaker 1: faults on it and the other thing too. I swear
Speaker 1: shut up about mixing. After this, if you look at it,
Speaker 1: and I do the presidential I guess popularity polls or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him, he's moving up. I mean,
Speaker 1: it took him a while, but he's not at the
Speaker 1: bottom anymore. I think people are figuring out that this
Speaker 1: man was brilliant and it was just a damn shame
Speaker 1: and a waste that he got run out of office.
Speaker 1: But anyway, enough of me, let's talk to Barry in Miamisburg.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nixon are not the same as yours. I was
Speaker 3: much younger at the time.
Speaker 1: Well tell me why, tell me why.
Speaker 3: Most of what I remember from Watergate is I was
Speaker 3: in the first grade.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 3: And you know your understanding of those things just isn't
Speaker 3: what it needs to be. Tell me how come I'm
Speaker 3: not familiar with any of the legality behind it.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what you call all the time, Barry
Speaker 1: and always agree with me. Now you don't, And that's great,
Speaker 1: that is really great. I like that. But can you
Speaker 1: tell me why on this one?
Speaker 3: Probably because I just didn't know enough back then.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, but I was in the first grade, you know.
Speaker 1: And again I gotta admit that I just have a
Speaker 1: thing about the man. I think he was untreated unfairly.
Speaker 1: I think if you look at him, my goodness, the
Speaker 1: geopolitical brilliance of the man, and you know, he was
Speaker 1: the right man at the right time. And I don't
Speaker 1: think for a minute, and I don't think any credible
Speaker 1: person does. I don't think for a minute he authorized
Speaker 1: the break in or even knew about it. He did.
Speaker 1: I hate the word cover up, but you can use it.
Speaker 1: I guess he covered it up. But again, and this
Speaker 1: is no experience, it's an exploiation.
Speaker 3: He took credit for it after the fact.
Speaker 1: He did. He did. And you know, I tell you
Speaker 1: you talk about guy that picks himself up off the floor.
Speaker 1: I mean he and a hell of a career. After
Speaker 1: Watergate settled down as a as an elder states, they
Speaker 1: all sought him out for advice, especially Bill Clinton.
Speaker 3: The other thing I had to say, and why I
Speaker 3: call it is the best example of media bias. Look
Speaker 3: at President Bush number two Bush Junior, and look at Obama.
Speaker 1: Yep, you're you're so right.
Speaker 3: You know, was a governor, he was okay, he was
Speaker 3: in the military reserve. But the media just ridiculed him
Speaker 3: endlessly for his pronunciation. He must be simple. They made
Speaker 3: stuff up about him all the time.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: Obama was a constitutional scholar. Well, he was really an
Speaker 3: associate professor, a one turn state congressman who voted President
Speaker 3: on defending born a Live Protection Act, and a one
Speaker 3: term senator. The most experienced man in the room in
Speaker 3: Washington was Obama. And yet he was the brilliant guy,
Speaker 3: you know. But yeah, I didn't mean to defame Nixon.
Speaker 3: It's just I wasn't really old enough to know about that.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I appreciate that. Uh I was older,
Speaker 1: older than you at that time, but I just I
Speaker 1: don't know throughout I've read every book that he's ever written.
Speaker 1: The man was brilliant. It's just what did Kissinger say.
Speaker 1: He has said something that was really appropriate, you know,
Speaker 1: to have to resign the presidency over a third rate
Speaker 1: burglary is something is a tragedy of epic proportions, and
Speaker 1: you know what it is. What it is. Nixon finally
Speaker 1: learned to live with it and had a very successful
Speaker 1: writing career, public appearance career after that. So my point
Speaker 1: is this. Let me ask you this though, Barry, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you listened to it. We played it twice. What
Speaker 1: he said about the imperial media. Don't you think he
Speaker 1: was right on the money on that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 10: He was.
Speaker 3: I had never heard that quote before, but you know,
Speaker 3: it is a home run.
Speaker 1: There you go. Hey, I appreciate the call, Barry. Please
Speaker 1: keep calling. I have a nice day, Okay, you too.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk to George and Columbus wants to
Speaker 1: talk about Richard M. Nixon. Hey, George, how you.
Speaker 6: Doing, Mike.
Speaker 4: I'm doing all right. I haven't talked to you for
Speaker 4: a few months.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was listening.
Speaker 4: I always listened to your show. And when you mentioned
Speaker 4: Nixon that I was in high school when all that happened,
Speaker 4: and me too. Dan Rather, he was a reporter for
Speaker 4: CBS at the time. He went the anchor then, obviously right.
Speaker 4: But he hated Nixon.
Speaker 1: He did, he clearly.
Speaker 4: And Nixon did a lot of good things. One thing,
Speaker 4: he ended the Vietnam War. Yeah, and I would have
Speaker 4: been drafted because I had had that lottery that year
Speaker 4: and I think my number was like fifty.
Speaker 1: Four or George, you want to hear something. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I mean to cut you off. You just mentioned your brother,
Speaker 1: my brother Jim, when he was number three on the
Speaker 1: hit parade for that thing.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, yeah, Yeah. My brother just got out of Vietnam.
Speaker 4: He was in the Marine Corps, you know, he was
Speaker 4: in the supply. He he didn't really see the action,
Speaker 4: but my wife lost her cousin. He was only over
Speaker 4: there like three weeks and he got killed. He was
Speaker 4: one of those you know, the newbies they put on
Speaker 4: the point and that boar. I mean they showed remember
Speaker 4: how they showed the caskets being unloaded.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4: That just strikes. But Nixon, he was a good president.
Speaker 4: He did a lot of good things, and the media
Speaker 4: twisted all that. You know what's funny, h I was
Speaker 4: listening to Washington Journal and seat Span the other morning
Speaker 4: and they were talking about the Democrats and so forth.
Speaker 4: You know what, the Democrats always want to spend something
Speaker 4: when the media when things are not going their way,
Speaker 4: like the shutdown, and that's what they're doing now. But
Speaker 4: you know what's uh, you know what's similar to the
Speaker 4: Hamas and the Democrats. He liked to hold peaceful hostage.
Speaker 4: We hold this nation hostage while that shot shut down
Speaker 4: was going on. I mean, what what a cruel? What
Speaker 4: what what type of cruel they can people stand for?
Speaker 11: You know what?
Speaker 4: Crazy?
Speaker 1: Mike, that's a very good question. I appreciate the call, George.
Speaker 1: I got some more I gotta get to Okay, Thanks,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I appreciate it. Hey, let's see,
Speaker 1: let's talk to John in Mason. Hey, good morning, John.
Speaker 1: Got about uh jeez, only got about three minutes here.
Speaker 5: Hey, how are you doing? Yeah again, great show, love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was just so I'm wondering. I used to work
Speaker 5: at a hotel back in the day, and I used
Speaker 5: to watch all three different media sites and it was
Speaker 5: the same thing over and over again. It was the
Speaker 5: same story and the different opinions about everything. But I
Speaker 5: started finding on Politico being like the one that actually
Speaker 5: showed the a and just the facts, and I was like,
Speaker 5: it's political, like the best way. What do you think
Speaker 5: about Politico?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't read it that much. I do
Speaker 1: kind of find when I do, it leans a little
Speaker 1: bit well, maybe more than a little bit left, But
Speaker 1: I think they strive to be accurate. I get the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal every day. It ain't cheap, but that's
Speaker 1: pretty much down the line, I think. And boy, they're
Speaker 1: not shy about taking a shot at Trump the Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal editorial page when they feel it's appropriate. And
Speaker 1: that the grand daddy of them all, Fox News, Thank
Speaker 1: god for Fox News.
Speaker 5: Yeah. But at the same time, like Politico literally states
Speaker 5: the facts and nothing else, And I love that about
Speaker 5: it because they're trying to do the whole Spanish and
Speaker 5: you know English.
Speaker 8: Na.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they're just seeing the fact that's it, and
Speaker 5: I kind of like that. And I guess I used
Speaker 5: to love the BBC, But you're orright about the BBC.
Speaker 3: There are interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what it's at subsidized in large
Speaker 1: part by the bridge taxpayer, and you know they're kind
Speaker 1: of going to pot over there, unfortunately, but I wonder
Speaker 1: how long that that's gonna last. You know, another thing
Speaker 1: before I let you go here, As far as getting
Speaker 1: things kind of unbiased, no side bias whatsoever, I'm finding
Speaker 1: is AI. I use AI quite a bit in my research.
Speaker 1: I don't use it exclusively, but I find that they're
Speaker 1: pretty damn fair. They'll give both sides. I say, well,
Speaker 1: this is what one side says, but this is what
Speaker 1: the other man make jokes about they may well. And
Speaker 1: then also too, it's it's short, it's about a page
Speaker 1: and a half, so it's out there if you want
Speaker 1: to find it. But I appreciate the call.
Speaker 3: Hey, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. Yeah, that was a good discussion I
Speaker 1: think about media bias. And again obviously thanks to President
Speaker 1: Nixon four weighing and hey, we got to take a break,
Speaker 1: but when we get back, we are going to talk
Speaker 1: to our friend Janie Heisel. She's going to tell you
Speaker 1: about an extensive story that she did, very very thorough
Speaker 1: about the rise in the use of drones in law enforcement,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it here in Cincinnati. She's got some
Speaker 1: other cities that she looked at too, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's being seen as what they call a force multiplier.
Speaker 1: It helps the officer on the street and kind of
Speaker 1: aids them in what they have to do. Responding to Runch,
Speaker 1: really a great article. We're going to talk to Janis
Speaker 1: about that. And she did a review of Eric Trump's
Speaker 1: new book, which I thought was great. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: to Janis when we get back. Mike Allen seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 12: My advisor at Plant Moran Wealth Management, knows my definition
Speaker 12: of wealthy rescue animals everywhere. So my husband and I
Speaker 12: bought property and opened to sanctuary.
Speaker 1: It's our happy place, and from the sound of it,
Speaker 1: it's their happy place too.
Speaker 9: You have your own personal definition of wealth Plant morand
Speaker 9: Wealth Management knows it takes a personal approach to get there.
Speaker 8: Experience the difference with Plant Moran Wealth Management.
Speaker 13: Book A consultation Today Progressive Commercial.
Speaker 6: Most truckers can expect the unexpected one driving, but a
Speaker 6: little hands up like this would still be nice.
Speaker 1: From an hundred WLW Mike Allen and hour two, which
Speaker 1: is the final hour of Saturday midday today because of
Speaker 1: the UC game, UC takes on I should say number
Speaker 1: twenty fifth ranked. You see seven and two takes on
Speaker 1: the Arizona Wildcats. They're unranked at six and three. Game
Speaker 1: starts at noon. Our coverage begins at eleven, and boy,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you on these short shows, it's hard getting
Speaker 1: everything in. But do want to make an announcement here.
Speaker 1: And the announcement is that my beloved Elder Panthers beat
Speaker 1: Princeton I think they're the Vikings last night in the
Speaker 1: state football tournament, thirty two to thirty. And I'm told
Speaker 1: by my good friend Tom Grace, fellow Latin scholar, fella
Speaker 1: full of brushman, that Elder was down twenty four to
Speaker 1: nothing at halftime. Panthers came roaring back to win that one,
Speaker 1: thirty two to thirty. Also, vivek Ramaswami Sat X Bombers
Speaker 1: beat Mighty Mos seventeen to three. So next Friday night,
Speaker 1: I don't know what time, I don't know where Elder
Speaker 1: plays Saint X, and that will be one hell of
Speaker 1: a game. If I weren't so dedicated to all of
Speaker 1: you and this show, I would probably go see it.
Speaker 1: But I get up early in the morning, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of dedicated that way. But at any rate,
Speaker 1: congratulations Elder, keep going. Elder is undefeated Saint X. I
Speaker 1: think they're nine and two, So boy, that's going to
Speaker 1: be a heck of a game. All right, enough of
Speaker 1: that stuff. Hey, you know, I tell you what, Eric
Speaker 1: Trump wrote a book that is really good. I read
Speaker 1: the thing. It's just a real good explanation of Trump's
Speaker 1: first term and what he did when he was out
Speaker 1: of office and then the campaign coming back. Eric Trump
Speaker 1: is a real modest guy and he's a good reader.
Speaker 1: Janis reviewed that. But I think the bigger story that
Speaker 1: I want to talk to Janis about is the article
Speaker 1: that she did very very in depth, those twenty three pages,
Speaker 1: and it's entitled the technology that Police call a Game Changer.
Speaker 1: And we are going to talk to Janis now. Janis,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for calling in, and I understand that
Speaker 1: you have an announcement you want to make too.
Speaker 14: I do.
Speaker 15: Thank you, Mike so really quick. Just wanted since you
Speaker 15: were talking about sporting events, there is actually a sport
Speaker 15: called steinholding, and you have graciously agreed to participate just
Speaker 15: for fun. That will be next Saturday, the twenty second
Speaker 15: at more Line Loggerhouse. We will actually have competitors coming
Speaker 15: from across the United.
Speaker 14: States for the very first ever US.
Speaker 15: Steinholding contest, where you hold a beer stein full of
Speaker 15: beer heavy straight out in front of you as long
Speaker 15: as you can, and if you lose, you get to
Speaker 15: drink the bear. So that's the consolation there. And the
Speaker 15: celebrity stein Holding will kick off at three o'clock where
Speaker 15: you will be on one of our celebrities, thank you, Mike,
Speaker 15: and then at four will be the champs coming from
Speaker 15: across the country. On top of it, more Line has
Speaker 15: its amazing German style Christmas market. I would encourage everybody
Speaker 15: to go to the more Line website and check it out,
Speaker 15: and or look at my husband's page called those German
Speaker 15: Guys on Facebook for the details.
Speaker 1: There you go. You know, Jannis, in the minute you
Speaker 1: mentioned that beer was involved. I mean it was a
Speaker 1: lock for me. And also I was born in Germany
Speaker 1: and Wispaden, so I guess that's another hook too. But
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it great cause too, I guess.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I happy to make that announcement or let
Speaker 1: you do it. Hey, I wanted to talk Jess for
Speaker 1: a little bit Janis, because we're all as always pressed
Speaker 1: for time about Eric Trump's book. I just told the
Speaker 1: listeners that I read it. I thought it was great, short,
Speaker 1: succinct and to the point, you reviewed it, what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts?
Speaker 14: Well, actually I did. I am still in the process.
Speaker 15: Of reading the book, but I reviewed one of.
Speaker 10: His speeches to completely accurate.
Speaker 15: He actually gave a speech in Florida, and during that speech,
Speaker 15: he was explaining how some of the behind the scenes
Speaker 15: details of what it was like for the entire Trump
Speaker 15: family to be under this microscope and this law fair
Speaker 15: dragnet basically as.
Speaker 10: He describes it, for like the quite a few years now.
Speaker 15: Ever since there, you know, his father, now President Donald Trump,
Speaker 15: entered political life, and so he was talking about some
Speaker 15: of the details involved with just the toll that it
Speaker 15: took on this family and at the end of the day,
Speaker 15: the resilience of his father, which now he says, his
Speaker 15: dad is just really enjoying his second term. He's just
Speaker 15: going after everything with Gusto and he Eric Trump said
Speaker 15: he personally is just just enjoying watching his father do
Speaker 15: what he loves to do. He says, he's just driven
Speaker 15: by his desire to do what his slogan.
Speaker 14: Says, make America great again.
Speaker 15: Whether there's people who disagree with how he does that,
Speaker 15: that's what he.
Speaker 10: Is driven by.
Speaker 1: His son says, there you go, Hey, I've read the thing,
Speaker 1: and I know you said you are reading it, but
Speaker 1: do you get the feeling based upon what he said
Speaker 1: when you listen doing that? He may run for office
Speaker 1: at some point because I don't even think he addressed
Speaker 1: it in the book, if my recollection is correct, and
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem like he has an interest in it.
Speaker 1: Do you feel differently or hurt anything.
Speaker 15: Well, there's a lot of speculations swirling around about that,
Speaker 15: but so far he has been saying, you know, it's
Speaker 15: not for him that he enjoys running the Trump Organization.
Speaker 15: He stepped into a position. I think I can't remember
Speaker 15: his exact title with the Trump Organization, but he's really
Speaker 15: into the day to day operations of the Trump Organization,
Speaker 15: which you know runs you know, high quality, high level
Speaker 15: golf courses and hotels.
Speaker 14: And things across the world.
Speaker 15: So that's quite a big job, and it sounds like
Speaker 15: he's pretty content with doing that. But I think he
Speaker 15: did just field obligation to help out with the campaign.
Speaker 15: It was literally a full court press on the part
Speaker 15: of the Trump family to help their.
Speaker 1: Patriarch, you know. And I think if any one in
Speaker 1: the family runs, it's going to be Don Junior. I
Speaker 1: don't think he said anything either, but I guess we'll
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. Hey, we got about nine minutes.
Speaker 1: This is such a big story here, I wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. It's entitled, like I said,
Speaker 1: very very in depth. It's entitled the technology that police
Speaker 1: call a game changer, referring of course, to police use
Speaker 1: of drones. Let me ask you, janis, what led you
Speaker 1: to do this story and just generally what did you
Speaker 1: find out about it?
Speaker 15: Well, just quickly, I got very interested in drones right
Speaker 15: about this time last year when there was the drones scare,
Speaker 15: remember when there were a lot of drones flying around
Speaker 15: like New Jersey and other places. I just got curious
Speaker 15: about I've done several stories on drones. And then when
Speaker 15: I found out that Cincinnati right here had added its
Speaker 15: own drone unit to the police department. I got really
Speaker 15: curious to look into that, and I found out that
Speaker 15: Tula Vista police in California were the very first place
Speaker 15: to start using police drones as first responders, as these
Speaker 15: programs are called. So I went all the way out
Speaker 15: there and did kind of like a compare and contrast
Speaker 15: between Tulavista and Cincinnati, two very different cities. One of
Speaker 15: the biggest things that relates to drones is that the
Speaker 15: drones in Cincinnati have the challenge of kind of navigating
Speaker 15: through the kind unquote canyon wind effect of our skyscrapers,
Speaker 15: which two Ofvisa doesn't really have.
Speaker 10: There are much lower buildings there.
Speaker 15: And the other thing that's very interesting though, is both
Speaker 15: communities forbid they're absolutely forbidden from using these drones to
Speaker 15: do any routine like surveillance, just to go spike on
Speaker 15: Mike Allen's house or whatever.
Speaker 10: They're not going to do that.
Speaker 15: They are being sent to reports that come in to
Speaker 15: the nine to one to one system, and they don't
Speaker 15: go all things because it's not necessarily appropriate and they
Speaker 15: don't have necessarily enough drones to do that. When I
Speaker 15: last checked, they had about forty percent of the city
Speaker 15: covered with the drones.
Speaker 14: The idea is the drones can scope out.
Speaker 15: The scene and provide information to officers and sometimes de
Speaker 15: escalate the scene so that you know, for example, it
Speaker 15: looks like somebody has a gun, but then the drone
Speaker 15: is able to zoom in with the camera and see
Speaker 15: that it's not a gun, and then the officer is
Speaker 15: kind of like less on guard, maybe you know, a
Speaker 15: little bit more relieved. You know, they can even use
Speaker 15: the drones to have a loud speaker and you know,
Speaker 15: tell the person come out with your hands upright, walk
Speaker 15: toward the end of the driveway where there will an
Speaker 15: officer is going to meet you as the officers are
Speaker 15: on their way. So there are a lot of pluses
Speaker 15: to it, but at the same time, there are some concerns.
Speaker 15: People are concerned about privacy. But right now, the police
Speaker 15: departments that I'm aware of are not using them in
Speaker 15: any capacity, like like I said, routine surveillance. In fact,
Speaker 15: one guy I talked to you with the a National
Speaker 15: Drone Police Organization told me it.
Speaker 14: Actually would be. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 15: Just to randomly fly drones around because you want to
Speaker 15: use this resource wisely. Sure, and also mixed with any
Speaker 15: kind of misuse or abuse of that would kind of
Speaker 15: hurt the you know, these programs.
Speaker 10: Across the country.
Speaker 15: So that's kind of in a nutshell, my very big report,
Speaker 15: and it was it was very fascinating to learn and
Speaker 15: just to see how these drones operate, and they are
Speaker 15: saving officers a lot of time, increasing officers safety, and
Speaker 15: improving public safety by catching literally Cincinnati police, this is
Speaker 15: one of my favorite was they used the drone to
Speaker 15: follow a guy who was fleeing from them. They thought
Speaker 15: it was going to get away by swimming in.
Speaker 10: The Ohio River, and they followed him with the drone.
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you it's like you say in the story, Javis,
Speaker 1: it's seen as a force multiplier. I mean, obviously you
Speaker 1: don't have to pay a drone any kind of benefits
Speaker 1: or salary or anything like that. And boy, the CPD
Speaker 1: guys that I've talked to are including the chief former chief.
Speaker 1: I guess who should be the chief, but I'll stay
Speaker 1: away from that, but they're high on it. And well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I can see where it would
Speaker 1: be a big help to police and something that could
Speaker 1: assist an officer safety too. I didn't want to ask
Speaker 1: you mentioned it briefly. There are some I guess municipalities
Speaker 1: and people that don't like Keep in mind that this
Speaker 1: one is from California, Eureka. You write about a city
Speaker 1: of about twenty five thousand people, and I guess they
Speaker 1: pressured city leaders to back away from it. The quote
Speaker 1: that you have in the story is we vowed to
Speaker 1: keep fighting surveillance overreach to preserve our integrity, safety, and
Speaker 1: privacy in our rapidly changing world. I have a term
Speaker 1: that I think for that is, in a BS typical California,
Speaker 1: the hell with public safety. You know we're gonna we
Speaker 1: don't trust the cops, so we're not going to say
Speaker 1: we want to do it. That is not the predominant view, though,
Speaker 1: is it, Channis Or Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 15: Not that I've detected, But it's so new here in
Speaker 15: Cincinnati that and there are so many other issues related
Speaker 15: to crime going on that I don't feel like it's
Speaker 15: gotten a lot of attention. It also is just again
Speaker 15: so new that you know, people will still need to
Speaker 15: see how it's being used. From what I gathered in Scheua, Visca,
Speaker 15: they told me that when people are originally really concerned
Speaker 15: and upset.
Speaker 14: They say they're transparent, and they actually.
Speaker 15: Have on their website you can go on and see
Speaker 15: every drone flight path that they've had, and they're saying, look,
Speaker 15: if we show people, we're not using this for you know,
Speaker 15: an invasive purpose to invade your privacy. We're literally doing
Speaker 15: this to help people, you know, help officer safety, help
Speaker 15: public safety. That you know, people usually go, aha, that's
Speaker 15: that's cool.
Speaker 10: I'm fine with that.
Speaker 15: They also, I need to emphasize, especially Cincinnati, they emphasize
Speaker 15: that they only point the camera at the horizon, so
Speaker 15: it's again not not you know, necessarily it's not going
Speaker 15: to invade anybody's privacy in the windows or whatever like that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 15: So, but I do think that because there are so
Speaker 15: many variables involved, there's a bound to be litigation.
Speaker 10: I know, there was actually some litigation over public.
Speaker 15: Records in California, So there's gonna be some litigation anytime
Speaker 15: there's new technology use of the technology. Sometimes policies don't
Speaker 15: anticipate specific scenarios, for example, and it could be used
Speaker 15: in a way that might you know, lead to a
Speaker 15: lawsuit for somebody.
Speaker 1: You know, and you mentioned too, cpdy I guess they
Speaker 1: did a community outreach with community leaders met with them,
Speaker 1: which obviously is a smart thing to do to help
Speaker 1: to alleviate any concerns that they may have. I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you too about Cincinnati. I think I've read
Speaker 1: in the story Jannis, they have nine drones now covering
Speaker 1: about forty percent of the city and their goal is
Speaker 1: ninety percent real soon and at the end of October,
Speaker 1: I believe you wrote in the story, they've had three
Speaker 1: thousand flights already, So it sounds like CPD is well
Speaker 1: on their way with drones.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 15: So another distinguishing feature of the Cincinnati drone program is
Speaker 15: that they actually are using American made drones.
Speaker 14: Some of the earlier.
Speaker 15: Departments, the Smerican drone companies were not up to speed,
Speaker 15: and so they're actually using Chinese drones, but they.
Speaker 10: Say that they are not.
Speaker 15: They're bypassing the manufacturers systems and using US software to
Speaker 15: run it, as well as storing the data on US
Speaker 15: based servers that meet these federal security requirements. So again
Speaker 15: that's another difference between the tu La Vista and Cincinnati programs.
Speaker 15: Cincinnati seem to be pretty proud of the fact that
Speaker 15: they are running those American drones.
Speaker 1: Jannis, it's a great story. I would encourage people to
Speaker 1: go find it and read it. We didn't really have
Speaker 1: adequate time to talk about it today, but congratulations on it.
Speaker 1: It's a real community service because this thing, this whole
Speaker 1: drone thing is taking off with cops and but I'll
Speaker 1: tell you down the road, I could see where it's
Speaker 1: going to be a huge help and frankly already is.
Speaker 1: And appreciate you calling in to talk about it.
Speaker 10: Absolutely.
Speaker 15: Thanks again, see you next when you're holding strong Saturday
Speaker 15: might twenty second at Marline three o'clock for you, four
Speaker 15: o'clock for the big champs coming from across the country.
Speaker 1: I will be there, all right, Jane, thank you. All right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the drones are really taken off, and man, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean I was a cop a million years ago
Speaker 1: for a pretty short period of time. However, I mean,
Speaker 1: I can see how this would really help street cops
Speaker 1: and frankly help make the situation safer for them. So
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. One thing I didn't get a
Speaker 1: chance to talk to Janis about, but it is in
Speaker 1: the article. Apparently President Trump recently did an executive order
Speaker 1: and I think the gist of it was that federal
Speaker 1: government wants to help these police departments any way they
Speaker 1: can with this drone use and anything that has to
Speaker 1: do with it. Hey, we got to take a break.
Speaker 1: Button we get back. Our final guest today is Eric Conolly.
Speaker 1: He is going to be in studio. He is the
Speaker 1: Republican candidate for Congress in the first congressional district, which
Speaker 1: changed quite a bit with restructuring, if you will, and
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Eric about that and what
Speaker 1: he wants to do if he's elected. We'll do that
Speaker 1: when we get back. Mike Allen, Saturday midday, you.
Speaker 16: Send hours raking the leaves from your yard, only to
Speaker 16: have to rake them again and again and again. If
Speaker 16: only all the leaves could fall at once. Well, now
Speaker 16: they can call tree shakers.
Speaker 1: Should you shaking down? N?
Speaker 4: You mean?
Speaker 16: Our specialized staff of x NFL linemen, sumo wrestlers and
Speaker 16: women's shot putters can shake your trees bear in minutes,
Speaker 16: freeing up your fall. Tree Shakers toss the rake and
Speaker 16: give it a shake.
Speaker 8: Tree Shakers a sponsor of the seven hundred WLW talkback
Speaker 8: button on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7: Have you taking down N?
Speaker 1: You mean?
Speaker 6: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Sex Stutter's
Speaker 6: interiors on Montgomery Road.
Speaker 1: Chop dazzling tree. Say midday, closing half hour of saying,
Speaker 1: he comes up the youth football game. Hey, we're just
Speaker 1: coming out of the twenty twenty five off year elections
Speaker 1: and now it's onto the mid terms next November third,
Speaker 1: or this coming November the third. In Ohio, Republicans have
Speaker 1: significantly strengthened their hand in the congressional elections, improving from
Speaker 1: what was a ten to five advantage in these congressional
Speaker 1: elections to a twelve to fifteen advantage. One of the
Speaker 1: districts that now favors Republicans is the First Congressional District,
Speaker 1: currently occupied by Democrat Congressman Greg Lansman. Under the new configuration,
Speaker 1: the first Congressional district would lean fifty four percent to
Speaker 1: forty seven percent Republican. Previously, the city of Cincinnati combined
Speaker 1: with Warren County to form the first Congressional district. With
Speaker 1: the new changes added by the Redistricting Commission, Clinton County
Speaker 1: is added to the first district, and I believe the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati stays in as well. Here to talk
Speaker 1: about it, is Republican candidate for the first congressional District
Speaker 1: Eric Conroy. Eric, before we begin, I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: did you go to a football game last night? I did.
Speaker 11: I went to that terrific Elder Princeton game last night
Speaker 11: at the Pitt And what a game that was.
Speaker 13: Both teams.
Speaker 11: I'll tell you what, Princeton has a very talented athletic right,
Speaker 11: that was a crazy game. That's why the craziest other
Speaker 11: game I've been to in a long long time.
Speaker 1: My buddies are all already texting and we said, and
Speaker 1: you missed it, you missed it. That's probably the only
Speaker 1: guy from the West Side not there.
Speaker 11: I mean, that's what Ohio High school football is all about, right,
Speaker 11: that's the passionates, the pageantry, and we're teaching great lessons
Speaker 11: for our young men for the future. And uh, I
Speaker 11: think Elder's got Saint X. They do, they have the
Speaker 11: I think that's a small rivalry of sorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the vake Ramaswami's Saint X bombers so and
Speaker 1: obviously Eric is an Elder boy, so always always cool
Speaker 1: to follow the sports and the GCL. So let me
Speaker 1: ask you that description that I made of the changes
Speaker 1: of the district. Was that accurate or anything you think.
Speaker 13: You want to add, Yeah, I think you hit most
Speaker 13: of it, Mike.
Speaker 11: So new District one starts out on the Indiana border
Speaker 11: near Harrison. It kind of loops around through Miami Township
Speaker 11: and along the river, includes the city of Cincinnati, and
Speaker 11: then goes up into Warren and Clinton County. So this
Speaker 11: is a terrific opportunity for Republicans. As you mentioned, it's
Speaker 11: about fifty three percent Republican estimate, and it is a
Speaker 11: winnable district and it should be probably a top ten
Speaker 11: race in the country next year. So we were very
Speaker 11: excited to have a spotlight on the district next year
Speaker 11: and hopefully pull us out for the Republicans.
Speaker 1: Top ten that got to mean good things for fundraising.
Speaker 13: It's very likely determine control of the House.
Speaker 11: So we're going to have quite a bit of fun
Speaker 11: here next year dismounting Greg Landsman out of the party.
Speaker 13: Well the House.
Speaker 1: One more thing about the district. Will this be in
Speaker 1: your opinion, what we've done in Ohio kind of I
Speaker 1: don't know, for lack of a better word, undone by
Speaker 1: what happened out in California on election night or do
Speaker 1: you have an opinion on that.
Speaker 11: Well, I think it's hard to tell, right, And obviously
Speaker 11: there's some redistricting going on around the country. Ohio was
Speaker 11: legally required to redistrict this year to some past events,
Speaker 11: so it's a bit difficult to tell. But you know,
Speaker 11: my team and I we are prepared to undertake, as
Speaker 11: we have been since to Aly, a very serious campaign
Speaker 11: to kick out the radical leftist Greg Lansman. I mean,
Speaker 11: look what happened this week. He voted no. He voted
Speaker 11: no to reopen the government. And this has really just
Speaker 11: been a shameless and disgusting ploy by Greg and his
Speaker 11: Democratic cronies to appease they're far left base and to
Speaker 11: feed the egos of people like AOC and Chuck Schumer. Right,
Speaker 11: this is a party, This is a party without a rudder.
Speaker 11: It's a party without a strategy, and it's a party
Speaker 11: without a plan. And we are seeing the implosion of
Speaker 11: a modern political party this year, which is going to
Speaker 11: help us out next year in the midterms. And you know,
Speaker 11: Greg Lansman is not the moderate he claims, and the
Speaker 11: decision this week really proved that. So we are very
Speaker 11: eager to have that leadership for a change and to
Speaker 11: kick him out of office next year.
Speaker 1: There you go. And you know I wouldn't disagree with that.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit surprised at him, though. I mean,
Speaker 1: he knows what the district is now, or had a
Speaker 1: good idea what it would be. A smart political move
Speaker 1: for him would have been too go along with those
Speaker 1: Democrats that went along with the Republicans. But I mean,
Speaker 1: he made his decision. Now he's gonna have to stick
Speaker 1: with Well.
Speaker 13: I was fully expecting that.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 11: He tries to portray himself as a moderate, and he
Speaker 11: could have very easily have stuck to that tagline by voting,
Speaker 11: you know, with.
Speaker 13: The decision to open the government he did, and he
Speaker 13: didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 11: And I think that just proves it is the litmus test.
Speaker 11: It is the example we can points him say, Hey,
Speaker 11: this guy is not the moderate he claims, and he's
Speaker 11: unfit to lead, and we need a change here, and
Speaker 11: I'm going to be that change.
Speaker 1: Something tells me we're going to be hearing about that
Speaker 1: throughout the campaign. You're going to get to know Clinton
Speaker 1: County though, aren't you.
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Clinton County is great. I was up there this week.
Speaker 11: Very interesting County. They've got the airpark up there, which,
Speaker 11: of course, as a former Air Force officer an aviation nerd,
Speaker 11: I loved it and what a great gem that is
Speaker 11: for the region. And it's great people up there as well,
Speaker 11: very dedicated Conservatives and Republicans, so very eager to hopefully
Speaker 11: be representing.
Speaker 1: Them, you know. And I'm glad you mentioned your past.
Speaker 1: Kind of give my listeners an idea of what you've
Speaker 1: done before, because you have done a lot, and why
Speaker 1: you think that qualifies you to go to Congress. You've
Speaker 1: got a spectacular resume.
Speaker 11: Sure well, thanks, thanks for the compliment, Mike. And as
Speaker 11: you mentioned, I grew up here on the West Side,
Speaker 11: went to Elder High School, and I grew up when
Speaker 11: you know, nine to eleven happened. That happened when I
Speaker 11: was about seventh eighth grade. And as I moved into Elder,
Speaker 11: I saw two wars going on overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan,
Speaker 11: and I said, hey, I want to serve. So I
Speaker 11: was lucky enough to be accepted into the Air Force
Speaker 11: Academy and then spent about another seven years active duty
Speaker 11: in the Air Force as an intelligence officer. I served
Speaker 11: mostly in special operations units. I did two years in
Speaker 11: Japan that I did another few years at the Pentagon
Speaker 11: in DC, and then when I was in DC, I
Speaker 11: was eventually recruited and hired by the CIA and did
Speaker 11: work in war zones. I lived in a Middle Eastern
Speaker 11: war zone for a year and then also worked in
Speaker 11: Eastern Europe for almost three years. And my role at
Speaker 11: the Agency was what's called a operations officer. My job
Speaker 11: was the marquee job there. It's the very old school
Speaker 11: espionage job. I was tasked to go overseas and try
Speaker 11: to convince people to switch sides. So it's a very
Speaker 11: rare career and I was very humbled to be a
Speaker 11: part of it. And then when I left the agency,
Speaker 11: it turns out running around cities all over the world
Speaker 11: and seeing economies, you start to get other interests as well.
Speaker 11: So knocked out a master's in economic development at Columbia
Speaker 11: and very passionate to also bring that skill set to
Speaker 11: the region, right. And I think one of the great
Speaker 11: things about my story in my candidacy is these perspectives
Speaker 11: and these experiences that I bring because being able to
Speaker 11: see those different cities in different countries, diferent societies, and
Speaker 11: how they work around the world is very interesting, and
Speaker 11: you can compare it contrast here with what we have
Speaker 11: at Southwest Ohio and build upon what we have and
Speaker 11: improve what we have.
Speaker 1: That's some great experience. The other thing I was impressed
Speaker 1: with is that, and this has been a while, you
Speaker 1: actually made your announcement for this seat on Fox News National.
Speaker 1: Is that accurate?
Speaker 11: It's correct. We announced back in July on Fox News.
Speaker 11: I've been on Newsmax quite a bit as well, talking
Speaker 11: about the race and also giving some national security commentary
Speaker 11: as well.
Speaker 13: So we've been up and running since July. We're a
Speaker 13: well oiled machine.
Speaker 11: We're well funded, and we have a lot of great experience,
Speaker 11: both national and local and with people who have experience
Speaker 11: with flipping districts right, and I think that's what we
Speaker 11: need here.
Speaker 13: So we were raring to go, right.
Speaker 11: We've been fundraising for a few months now, We've been
Speaker 11: doing media for a few months, and we're going to
Speaker 11: keep up this momentum through the end of the year
Speaker 11: and go right in the next year.
Speaker 1: And you've mentioned I think that it's being seen as
Speaker 1: one of the top ten races for Republicans.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, this is going to be a background seat, right,
Speaker 11: and you know, fifty three percent Republican is when a bull.
Speaker 11: But it's still gonna be tough, right, So we need
Speaker 11: that turnout. We need dedicated Conservatives and Republicans to understand
Speaker 11: the importance of the ticket next year. Right, We're gonna
Speaker 11: have a vac on the ballot. We're gonna have John
Speaker 11: Houston on the ballot, all be on the ballot, and
Speaker 11: this is gonna be a big year, right, And we
Speaker 11: need to have a very successful midterm to keep the
Speaker 11: president's agenda alive.
Speaker 1: We do. I mean, what is the current split now,
Speaker 1: I mean we've got it by what two three seets
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's very small, right, And here is really the kicker,
Speaker 11: right is we need to support the president and we
Speaker 11: need to have a successful midterm, right because what we
Speaker 11: can't do is we can't lose the midterms because it
Speaker 11: will curtail a lot of what we're trying to do
Speaker 11: here in this country.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Hey, let's switch the issues here for a minute. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you we did not have a very good
Speaker 1: night a couple tuesdays ago with respect to the off
Speaker 1: year elections. I think a lot of it is overblown.
Speaker 1: It wasn't as bad as some in the media, surprise surprise,
Speaker 1: would want to make it out. But one thing that
Speaker 1: has emerged, and it sure seems like President Trump got
Speaker 1: the message here is this affordability issue where young people
Speaker 1: or any button for that matter, just can't afford things.
Speaker 1: And well, I'll tell you, unfortunately, I eat some fast
Speaker 1: food sometimes.
Speaker 13: Are you a white castle guy?
Speaker 1: Back?
Speaker 13: What's I was treat you like?
Speaker 1: I like white castles, but they're closing. The one in
Speaker 1: Dell High that I used to frequent is closed now.
Speaker 1: But that kind of stuff is just so over the
Speaker 1: top expensive. Now. Now, I know gas has gone down,
Speaker 1: but your thoughts on that, I mean, are we on
Speaker 1: the right track with making that perhaps the biggest issue.
Speaker 11: We're on the right track, right, and the White House
Speaker 11: is doing a great job of trying to address it.
Speaker 11: And some of these economic issues that happen, it's kind
Speaker 11: of like a slinky right, and it don't happen immediately.
Speaker 11: It's a bit of a long term issue, and I
Speaker 11: think he's doing a great job of addressing it right.
Speaker 11: And we've seen prices increase and we've seen some decrease
Speaker 11: as well on different products. And addressing that issue and
Speaker 11: making sure that we are trying to bring those prices
Speaker 11: down is important for everybody, right.
Speaker 13: And we've had really just a couple.
Speaker 11: Economic pivots over the years, and we're kind of heading
Speaker 11: into a new one with AI in tech and new
Speaker 11: trade relationships, and the President's trying to renegotiate those trade
Speaker 11: relationships and adjust this economy and this country to win
Speaker 11: the next century, right, and that means having new trade relationships,
Speaker 11: but then also making sure we're winning the wars and
Speaker 11: AI and in tech to make sure that we are
Speaker 11: still competitive economy for the next one hundred years.
Speaker 1: We have to be. And as I said, it sure
Speaker 1: seems like the President is engaged on this affordability issue.
Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts? And I know it just
Speaker 1: was kind of thrown at this week on this fifty
Speaker 1: year mortgage thing that they're talking about. Well, that's a
Speaker 1: hell of a commitment for a young person or anyone.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I'll be honest, I haven't looked at
Speaker 11: it too hard. I did see the headline, and that's
Speaker 11: a huge commitment, right. Yeah, this is back to the
Speaker 11: affordable question. How do we make the modern American life affordable?
Speaker 11: For everybody, including our young people. And I think this
Speaker 11: is what everyone is trying to solve, and especially the
Speaker 11: White House, is how do we bring prices down?
Speaker 13: How do we make the American dream more affordable?
Speaker 11: And really, his Big Beautiful Bill was a good step
Speaker 11: in that direction, right, starting to eliminate and reduce taxes
Speaker 11: on tips and over time, this is money that's going
Speaker 11: to be back in the pockets of working class families
Speaker 11: and be able to you know, afford things like a
Speaker 11: house and to make day to day life more affordable.
Speaker 11: So these are kind of innovative ideas. These are different
Speaker 11: ideas that we are trying to propose to solve these issues.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 11: I think that's the thing, right, is like we are
Speaker 11: the party of ideas, absolutely, the Republicans are the parties.
Speaker 11: It is the party of ideas and initiative.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 11: The Democrats are not providing any new ideas. They have
Speaker 11: no initiative, they have no strategy, right, So I commend
Speaker 11: the President and this party for actually attempting real ideas
Speaker 11: that are going to solve the issues of people every day.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, Eric, I am enjoying watching
Speaker 1: the implosion of the Democrat Party because that's real. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's happening. They got a civil war brew and that's
Speaker 1: gonna bust open pretty damn soon.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I think luckily for us, it's gonna happen
Speaker 11: at the midterm. That's what has happened already. Right, This
Speaker 11: is a this is a party that is being dragged
Speaker 11: further and further left. And we saw that with the
Speaker 11: New York mayor's election, right, mom, Donnie winning. And this
Speaker 11: is a socialist, right, and this is the socialist that
Speaker 11: you know wants to eliminate capitalism and wants to get
Speaker 11: rid of the things that we do that makes America America.
Speaker 11: And that party has got a hell of a problem
Speaker 11: on its hands. And I don't think they're gonna be
Speaker 11: able to solve it.
Speaker 1: No, I don't either. It's gonna open what already is,
Speaker 1: but open up even more. I think publicly speaking of issues,
Speaker 1: the crime issue obviously, and I know you know this
Speaker 1: in this area, in this area a pretty darn big deal.
Speaker 1: What can Congress do? I guess obviously the first one
Speaker 1: would be funds to help municipality with the public safety issue.
Speaker 1: And we've got about two minutes unfortunately.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things, right.
Speaker 11: I was doing some research on this recently, and there
Speaker 11: are certain Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice
Speaker 11: grants that can't be pursued to help when local police
Speaker 11: forces are understaffed and under man right.
Speaker 13: So getting these local.
Speaker 11: Law enforcement organizations the resources that they need at the
Speaker 11: federal level through special grants and special provisions is something
Speaker 11: that can't be explored, and I think they need to
Speaker 11: be right. We've seen the democratic model of urban governance
Speaker 11: just totally crash and burn all over the country, including
Speaker 11: here in our beautiful downtown which I live in, right,
Speaker 11: and we need to start leaning on the federal level
Speaker 11: to solve these problems and fill these gaps in interim. Right,
Speaker 11: And being a resident of downtown, I'm a firm believer
Speaker 11: that you need to live in it to believe in it. Yet,
Speaker 11: and it means solving the issues down there as well.
Speaker 1: I get it. Well, Unfortunately, we're out of time. We
Speaker 1: never have enough time. Maybe next time you come, we'll
Speaker 1: do the whole hour. Would you be willing to do it?
Speaker 11: Let's do it, Mike, I would love it. I think
Speaker 11: this is my third time here with you, So let's.
Speaker 1: Get you go extremely important election. There is no way
Speaker 1: around it. We have to have that first congressional district
Speaker 1: and put it back in our column. But I appreciate
Speaker 1: you coming.
Speaker 13: Today, Hey, Mike, thanks to your time.
Speaker 1: Anytime, all right, my pleasure. Hey, we are out of time.
Speaker 1: That means we are out of here. See you next Saturday,
