00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Five o five, fifty five k r C detalk station

00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Friday Eves will vad no idea?

3
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: What's fun?

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Good morning? Sorry? Threw me for a loop there. I

5
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: was talking to Joe Strecker and then the microphone came on.

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, I better be prepared to say something.

7
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Good morning, how's that Happy Friday? E Brian Thomas right

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: here hosted the fifty five Case Morning Show. Of course,

9
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: the Joe I'm referring to Joe Trekker, executive producer, Internet

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: research guru. All right, great guy, let him produce your podcast.

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: That's what he does on the side, little free plug

12
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: for Joe Strecker. No, I do not receive any compensation

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: or any form of benefit as a consequence of mentioning

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker's side gig. I just to put a smile

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: on his face. Joe, would you do that if they

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: paid you more? It's a rhetorical question, Joe. It's rhetorical

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: craziness going on in downtown Cincinnati, which is good because

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: Scott Warton from the Cincinnion Inquire is going to join

19
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: the program at eight o five talking about this immigration

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Legal Defense fund that they just voted in two hundred

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: and ten thousand dollars to help these cities immigrant community,

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: meaning illegal immigrant community. Because again, as I pointed out yesterday,

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: if you're here legally, you got no problems. Fear. Oh

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: there's fear. Okay, fine, maybe irrational fear if you don't. Again,

25
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: if you're not involved with violating the law in any way,

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: shape or form, I don't know what you have to fear.

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: But in any event, apparently the immigrant community lease acorded

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: of the elected officials of Downtown SINCINNTI I think they're

29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: deserving a free there's that word free legal help. And

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to the fact that i'd

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: really in my experience as a lawyer, and we're going

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: back a long time now. I haven't actively practiced law

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: since I started the morning show, and this is my

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: twentieth year in radio. I couldn't litigate myself out of

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: a paper bag there I sat it. But two hundred

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: and ten thousand dollars done buy you a whole lot

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: of legal representation. And there's that pesky word free. Cording

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: to reporting from Marlinna Langer at WCPO the other day

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: on this Access to Council, which is the name of

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: the organization that's going to receive the two hundred and

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars grant from the City of Cincinnati Taxpayers.

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Is described as an entity that provides free legal representation

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: for those facing eviction. Okay, well, that means they're doing

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the work for free, then they don't need to be

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: paid a billable hour. We'll not talk about that with

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Scott Warbon in atoh five, which allows me to transition

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: over to something that just absolutely blew my mind this morning.

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to readjust my figures and remember that

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: it's calendar year twenty twenty six and my talking about

50
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars an hour lawyer fees is a little old. Yeah,

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: things have changed in the world of a billable hour

52
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: time anyway, Prior to that, it's time that helps cure cancer.

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Cancer sucks. Keith Desertch knows that his daughter Elena, Keith

54
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: and Brook Desk which lost their daughter Elena to the

55
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: horror that is pediatric brain cancer, which was resulted in

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: them starting the cure starts now and they have just

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: done amazing things, including this push for a global of

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: the home run cure. Is what they've called it, and

59
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the idea is that if you can get around and

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: figure out pediatric brain cancer, which is unbelievably aggressive, that

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: you may end up finding the solution for all forms

62
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: of cancer. And I wish them all the best in

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the world. They have been so successful getting doctors all

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: around the world to share their research. That's a concept

65
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: that nobody even ever considered it was possible. Of course,

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: they all keep their ideas and their theories and their

67
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: research quiet, because of course, if they end up with

68
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: the cure, they're the ones that are going to benefit

69
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: from it. But in the name of well solving curing

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: cancer globally, a lot of them have gotten together thanks

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: to the efforts of the Cure starts. Now you can

72
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: help with that effort and also win some Pappy Van

73
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Winkle booze. That's Right's the five bottle of Van Winkle

74
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Reserve collections one hundred dollars per ticket. The retail value

75
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars. But if you walk out the door

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: after winning, you can sell this stuff on the street

77
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: for tens of thousands of dollars. From everything I understand,

78
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: this stuff is hot. It's twenty three year old reserve

79
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: twenty year old, fifteen year, twelve year and e ten

80

Speaker 1: all Pappy van Winkle. So Keith's going to join the

81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: program at seven thirty to talk about this raffle and

82
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: how you can get tickets, and I encourage you to

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: do that. My bourbon loving friends pivoting over there. Yes,

84
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: I not really sure what I wanted to talk about

85
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: this morning, but first off, readjusting my perception of Bill

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: of the Hours, And I'm going to say this in

87
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: the context of the threat, the threat that at some

88
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: point you might find yourselves in the crosshairs of some litigation,

89
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: whether it's initiated by the state, that's a concern, maybe

90
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: getting brought on a controversy of some sort, you're gonna

91
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: have to retain counsel. It is a fear that we

92
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: all should have because look headlines, top lawyers fees have skyrocketed.

93
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Be prepared to pay thirty four hundred dollars an hour?

94
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: What low stream journal article Some senior partners charging as

95
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: much as thirty four hundred dollars an hour at the

96
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: country's largest law firm. Some research outfit called Pursuit, which

97
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: is a software company that well in house lawyers use

98
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: to analyze legal bills. So it's like gas buddy for lawyers.

99
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: They know how much people are charging. Among the top

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: fifty large largest firms, rates for partners have increased sixteen

101
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: percent on average in one calendar year last year thirty

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars an hour. Oh, it gets worse for

103
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: some some lawyers, they say with specialized skills. Eric Trautman,

104
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: partner at a southern calif fourny law firm, just gave

105
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: an eye open to his clients. He's upping his rates

106
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: to six thousand dollars an hour for consulting on compliance issues.

107
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: His firm described as a niche specialty telecom regulation firm.

108
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: It was just last year he was charging forty two

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars an hour. It's like, how can you just

110
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: the audacity? So can you afford it? The answer is

111
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: probably no. You know, only the wealthiest and most well

112
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: connected folks out of the world can afford that kind

113
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: of hourly rate. So even for lesser non niche practices

114
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: with rates going up that high. The article even pointed

115
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: out that associates and I'm laughing at back, and I

116
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: remember back in the early nineteen nineties when I started

117
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: practicing practicing law at the law firm. What I was

118
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: being billed out at, that's not what I put in

119
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: my pocket. But you know, the buildable rate for an

120
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: associate was in the several hundred dollars back then Again,

121
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: we're going back a while, and they point out that

122
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence is getting a lot of the work that

123
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, front level associates used to do. You were

124
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: green behind the ears, you needed to be trained. You well,

125
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: did some grunt work. You reviewed documents and regulatory filings,

126
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: had the due diligence and some of the grunt work.

127
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: And artificial intelligence is taking over that the associate lawyers

128
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: who do this type of work, which may be going

129
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: the way to the DODO given AI. We'll see where

130
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: that advancement of technology goes in so far as legal

131
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: work is concerned. They charge about fourteen hundred dollars an hour.

132
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Junior associates up to two thousand dollars, well a senior

133
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: associates up to two thousand dollars, but fourteen hundred dollars

134
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: an hour for the frontline grunt lawyers. That adds up

135
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot. So hopefully you'll never be involved in litigation

136
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: in any way shape or form. But that is a

137
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: looming thread out there, and I always point that out,

138
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think, for example, you know, you can

139
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: say what you want about the January sixth protesters, and

140
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: I've always referred to it as a drunken fraternity party

141
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: that got out of hand. And I do not believe

142
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: it was a threat to the democracy of this great

143
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: country of ours or anything else. Just stupid people doing

144
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: stupid things. But the reaction from government was overwhelming. You

145
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: know what reminds me of is this FBI investigation that

146
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: woman that got kidnapped. How many resources are they throwing

147
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: at that? How many people out there who've experienced tragedy, Uh, well,

148
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: thanks to a perpetrator committing violence against your loved one,

149
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: maybe someone that got killed in the process. Did the

150
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: FBI come in and swab and dust everything. Did they

151
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: commit DNA analysis to literally every square inch's surface in

152
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: the greater area around your home or wherever the person

153
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: passed away? No, no, no, no, no. A lot of

154
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: resources go to that. They lost my train of thought.

155
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: I hate when that happens. Five one, three, seven, four nine,

156
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two three talk Foiveter FI fifty

157
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: on eighty nt folence. Anyway back to yeah, the Jay six.

158
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: They hammered people, and many people believe some of the

159
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: prosecutions on J six were you know, over zealous, if

160
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: I can use a sort of a softer word for it.

161
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Each one of those individuals had to retain counsel. And

162
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: if you want to rely on the Public Defender's office,

163
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: that you're prerogative. But you like like the lawyers that

164
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: charge thirty four hundred bucks an hour, there's a reason

165
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: you might want to pay more for a lawyer with

166
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: greater experience. You're probably going to get better service, individualized service,

167
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: as opposed to like your name in a stack of

168
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty files that some you know public

169
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: defender has. But if you can't afford one of these lawyers,

170
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: what do you do? You suffer under the weight of

171
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: the federal government going after you, hammer and tong in

172
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: an overzealous way, and you're stuck. You may find yourself

173
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: in jail. If you had a better lawyer, if you

174
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: could afford it, a better lawyer, maybe you wouldn't be

175
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: in jail. Maybe you could have defended yourself and be

176
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: found not guilty by jury of your peers or other

177
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: try or effect. It's crazy when think about it, but

178
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: I've just thrown it out there stream of consciousness this morning,

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: which invites you to call maybe readjust my alignment and

180
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: focus on something you think is more appropriate to talk about.

181
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine is going to be joining the program tomorrow.

182
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: The return of Signal ninety nine. Well connected person knows

183
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: everything there is to know about law enforcement, has all

184
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: the documents to back up what she has to say. Wait,

185
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: do you hear who the City of Cincinnati hired as

186
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: the violence reduction manager? And as you ponder as we

187
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: go to the break here, what is a violence reduction manager?

188
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: What do you think that person, by way of background,

189
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: should have if they're going to take over the lead

190
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: in this new role violence reduction manager? Well share Long knows.

191
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: We'll see who she has hired for this position for

192
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. Find out whether you think it's

193
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: an appropriate higher I'll be right back after these brief words.

194
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.

195
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: This is it's five point twenty on Thursday, and Thomas

196
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: wishing everyone a happy Thursdays last Friday, even invitation to

197
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: call as always five one, three, seven, four nine fifty

198
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk found five fifty on

199
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: eighteen and t funds. Okay, thought exercise, what is a

200
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: violence reduction manager? And just think real quickly in the

201
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: back of your mind. What might a violence reduction manager

202
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: have to have by way of background experience in the

203
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. Ask Cheryl Long and thank you to

204
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: signal ninety nine for the post from yesterday. If we

205
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: didn't have her, we wouldn't know about Kate Bell. That's

206
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: her our new violence reduction manager. Now, we do have

207
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: a problem with violence in downtown Cincinnati. You haven't been

208
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: paying close to the close attention and then there's a

209
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: lot of people getting shot, and of course the violence continues.

210
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't know whether where our trajectory is relative to

211
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: last year, we're down, if we're up, But clearly we

212
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: have a problem with crime in the city of Cincinnati.

213
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: That's why we're putting cameras up everywhere. That's why the

214
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: city is now paying attention to crime and claiming at

215
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: least uh to look at it a little differently and

216
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: engage in different practice is to bring about some stability

217
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: in your given neighborhood. So fine, we need violence production manager.

218
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Least that's what they concluded. Kate Bell, as Signal ninety

219
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: nine rights she holds a BFA in graphic design. Her

220
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: professional background question Mark Communications UX. I had to look

221
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: up UX. Didn't know what the initial cap UX is.

222
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: Its user experience design, some technical thing, human centered design,

223
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: social media management, branding, civil engagement workshop, Bloomberg innovation training.

224
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: That's what she's done. By way of background. As Signal

225
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine points out, there is no documented law enforcement experience,

226
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: no criminal justice degree, no corrections background, no prose prosecutorial experience,

227
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: no violence intervention field history, no academic study in criminology,

228
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: no operational experience running a violence suppression strategy. Here's the resume.

229
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Graphic designer. Remember we're talking about violence production manager, graphic designer,

230
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: Communications and graphic design, Community and Economic Development, Performance and

231
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Data Analytics office, Human centered Design lead. I guess that

232
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: she pulled this directly from ms Bell's CV Civic Engagement Manager,

233
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: assistant to the city manager, whatever that role is now

234
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: it's violence production manager, she writes. Multiple sources inside city

235
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Hall are now asking the same question, quietly, why her? Well,

236
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: I am asking it to Signal ninety nine. What are

237
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: the actual qualifications for this role? Was this position publicly posted?

238
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: Jay?

239
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: Remember reading all the local reporting on this? Did you apply?

240
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I was considered Joe an applicant for any position outside iHeartMedia.

241
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Was there a competitive process?

242
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 4: Hmmm?

243
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Wonder there was? Was there a competitive process for Iris

244
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: Rollie's job?

245
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 5: Now?

246
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: The answer I think will be no on that one.

247
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: What were the minimum qualifications for violence reduction manager? Where

248
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: the criminal justice credentials required or not? Clearly they were

249
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: not since she has none, because she was engaging in

250
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: rhetorical questions? Well, was the role reclassified? Maybe it existed

251
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: elsewhere and they appreciaped it into what they are now

252
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: calling violence reduction manager. I don't know who else applied.

253
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: What is the salary band? Yeah? How much is this

254
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: person making? And who signed off? And then she says,

255
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: and most important, most importantly, what model of violence reduction

256
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: is the administration actually pursuing? Do they have a goal?

257
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: Do they have a plan? Is this something that's part

258
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: of a role, out of a process where they have

259
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: a starting point and an ending point? Presumably the starting

260
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: point is now where we don't know anything in the

261
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: ending point is well a reduction in violence. Do you

262
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: have a plan? Don't know? Then? Taking the ninety nine

263
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: to mind, Well, the city believes that violence is a

264
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: branding and messaging problem, a design problem. If so, then

265
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: while maybe this aligns with their philosophy, what we need

266
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: here is someone who can market the city as a

267
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: safe place while doing literally nothing to address the actual

268
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: violence on the street. Good call. The city believes violence

269
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: is a public safety crisis, requiring operational, investigative, prosecutorial, and

270
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: suppression expertise. Then explain this choice to the mothers who

271
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: continue to bury their children. Nice shot signal, she says.

272
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: City Manager Cheryl long owes the city some answers. When

273
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: you elevate someone into a role that directly impacts life, death, incarceration, intervention,

274
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and overall public safety, you owe the public transparency about

275
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: how that decision was made and why violence production is

276
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: not a design sprint. It's not a ux exercise. Thankfully

277
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: I looked that up. It's not a branding workshop. It's blood, mysteret,

278
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: crime scenes and funerals, and Cincinnati deserves to know who's

279
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: actually in charge stopping it and if they're the most

280
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: qualified candidate for the job. Well, this is one of

281
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: the reasons I'm excited to have signal ninety nine on

282
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: the program tomorrow. She raises some very very interesting and

283
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: legitimate questions. Kate Bell, graphic designer now violence reduction manager, looks.

284
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: I got Jay on the phone. Got to take your

285
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: call as soon as you get back. You don't mind

286
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: holding for a moment, be right back after these brief words.

287
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: Fifty five car the talk station, Happy Thursday. Obviously that

288
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: means iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe coming up with

289
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: at a eight thirty after Scott Warmant from the Inquire

290
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: talking about the Immigration Legal Defense Fund, and maybe you

291
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: get a question or two in about this this violent

292
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: production manager. I'm not sure he's prepared for that, but

293
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: at least ask the question. He is a good local reporter.

294
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: So we'll hear from Scott Warman again. Eight h five.

295
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: We're to hear from Jay right now. Tom, hang on,

296
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: you are next, Jay, thanks for holding over the break.

297
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friend.

298
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Brian. I am happy to hear somebody

299
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 6: other than me, which would be you talk about how

300
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: over the top. This response is to Nancy Guthrie. The

301
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 6: only reason is that she is a media member's mother.

302
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: I agree.

303
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 6: So, so there's twenty eight hundred children abducted every day

304
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 6: in this country. And I have not heard the President

305
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 6: tell the FBI all hands on deck, let's go find

306
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 6: these kids. But I did hear him say all hands

307
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 6: on deck. I want every asset in the FBI looking

308
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 6: for Savannah Guthrie's mother. So, you know, I hear people

309
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 6: talk about, man, this this thing's just weird. It just

310
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 6: doesn't make sid sense. And I tell him, you know,

311
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 6: the only weird thing I see about this is the

312
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 6: national response. And it's really chilling and bizarre when we

313
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 6: take a step back, and you know, I expect this

314
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 6: on the left, the left in the media have an

315
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 6: unholy marriage, an alliance and this woman and I and

316
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 6: I hope that they find her. I don't I hope

317
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 6: any harm. But Savannah Guthrie wouldn't have that seven figure job,

318
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 6: maybe eight figure job at NBC if she was a conservative.

319
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 6: NBC is not our friend. Yet here we are throwing

320
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 6: all of our treasure and time and energy with a

321
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 6: supposedly reformed FBI headed up by Cash Pattel, to go

322
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 6: focus on the right things. And that's what we elected

323
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 6: and what we got is all hands on deck, could

324
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: go find a media person's mother.

325
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: Well, let me suggest maybe it's serving as a useful

326
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: distraction for people of all political stripes. We're getting ready

327
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: to drop bombs on Iran. I mean, we're a moment

328
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: in time away from entering into what could be a

329
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: global conflict. Not a peep from the politicians about it.

330
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: The only thing I see is, you know, Donald Trump

331
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: maybe dropping bombs. Donald Trump is prepared for war. Donald

332
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: Trump is going to decide whether the line has been crossed.

333
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: And there is nothing in there about Democrats or Republicans,

334
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: with the exception maybe a Thomas Massey, although you don't

335
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: see a whole lot from him on the whole thing.

336
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: Wait a second, this is war. Maybe we've got something

337
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: to say about it here in Congress, given the Constitution

338
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: gives us the authority only and the sole exclusive authority

339
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: to declare war zero. Pick a different topic that is

340
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: controversial or something swirling around in the background that people

341
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: are not paying attention to because oh my god, this

342
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: poor woman's been Oh my god, they've found DNA on

343
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: a glove and of uh see, and it really is working.

344
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: It is. I mean, every headline or It's headlines all

345
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: over the political spectrum of the web, various websites that

346
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: I rely on to get content. Right, Bart's got it

347
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: right there all the time every day. Look at the

348
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: New York Post, look at that, even the you know

349
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: what we call legitimate papers. Even the Wall Street Journal

350
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: mentioned it from time to time. It's a useful distraction.

351
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: How many times have we been down this road? Jay?

352
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they're all benefiting from it, just throwing

353
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: it out there as a possibility.

354
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's disappointing. Nonetheless, it's either it's a reflection

355
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 6: on what how they're right. You know, we talk about

356
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: the left, our shape, we are no different. If we

357
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 6: get distracted by this, we clearly have almost to become

358
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 6: the national topic. Then shame on us that.

359
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: We lose them. Jay, you dropped the call or the

360
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: call is dropped. Yeah. I would like someone to just

361
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: do a piece interviewing the mothers of children who've been

362
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: gunned down in street violence, and to do a comparative

363
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: analysis on the level of law enforcement focusing on any

364
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: given murder versus this national attention headline grabbing news involving

365
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: the kidnapping. I'm not saying the resources. I mean, if

366
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: we had the best of all worlds, in every single

367
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: case involving the murder or kidnapping off someone would get

368
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: this level of attention, But we don't. Resources are scarce.

369
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: There aren't even enough officers in the city of Cincinnati

370
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: to patrol the streets let alone. Can you imagine all

371
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: of the work that isn't getting done because were short,

372
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: like two or three hundred officers. There's always folks in

373
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: the background doing research, investigating, interviewing, folks, gathering evidence, and

374
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: when you have a low contingent of officers, you can't

375
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: do that. But I do believe Jay, it is a

376
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: reflection on society at large that we all apparently it's clickbait.

377
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: They know what gets the clicks, which is why they

378
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: keep elevating it to a higher level of tension because

379
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: we're focusing on it out here in the world. Tom,

380
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Thursday.

381
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. I'm a little bothered that I didn't

382
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 7: hear about this violence reduction manager position. I definitely would

383
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 7: have applied. I mean, I know I have years of

384
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 7: experience raising four boys, and yeah, I definitely had to

385
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 7: try to use those skills now I'm not going to

386
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 7: say that I was good at it and sometimes I

387
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 7: got involved. My wife had to use her violence reduction

388
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 7: managing skills, and I'm not gonna say she was always kidding.

389
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you, brother, h I mean, you know how.

390
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 7: Violence reduction manager. Oh, we got we got a few

391
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 7: of those. They're called tops.

392
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: That's what I You know what, that's funny you said

393
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: that because I wrote police question mark at the top

394
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: of the art or the posts from single ninety nine,

395
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: isn't that the entire police force? Well, that's why we

396
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: ask for a greater police presence.

397
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 5: You know.

398
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: It's like we put cameras in substitute for police officers.

399
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: Cameras option is a deturrent, but if actual physical police

400
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: officers are there, they certainly act as a deterrent. They

401
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: are reducers of violence. Their mere presence reduces the likelihood

402
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: of anybody engaging in violent conduct. You know, I will say,

403
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: as a person who has been peaceful my entire life,

404
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Tom never even been in a fight like a fistfight.

405
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: I've avoided violenced my entire life for a variety of reasons.

406
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just not a physically violent kind of guy.

407
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: I could be violent reduction manager just by demonstrating my

408
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: entire life, which has been violence free.

409
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 7: Yeah. The two things that'spring to mind are a who

410
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 7: is this woman related to? More more than likely she's

411
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 7: related to somebody, and she's now cashing the check on

412
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 7: By the way, City of Cincinnati taxpayers, on your dime,

413
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 7: you are paying for this person. Just keep that in

414
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 7: mind as we talk about these things and the ridiculous

415
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 7: stuff that makes politicians on every side of the aisle

416
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 7: make this. The crap they come up with, I almost

417
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 7: I almost got a dumb button there. The crap they

418
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 7: come up with, Yeah, we're paying.

419
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: For that free and free legal representation for that one.

420
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 7: There is then no such things. Somebody's paying for it,

421
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 7: you know that. I find it ridiculous. There's already a

422
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 7: public defender's office. It's already there because of the Miranda rights,

423
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 7: and we've guaranteed people right to to a representation if

424
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 7: you're prosecuted. Fine, okay, whatever, let's put money into that.

425
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 7: We don't need to be spending extra money on people

426
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 7: who are likely not even citizens of this country, therefore

427
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 7: not even citizens of our county and city. It's ridiculous.

428
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 7: It's just more money getting spent. That's what they're good at,

429
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 7: figuring out a way to take your money and then

430
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 7: coming up with ridiculous ways to spend it. Don't vote Democrat.

431
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Have a great day, right the same, Tom appreciate the

440
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Gary, welcome back, man. It's good to hear

441
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: from me as always. Gary. You think he fell asleep.

442
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 5: Too, I'm sorry, I ahead, John Mute, I'm sorry. I

443
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 5: just wanted to remind you that this reminds me of

444
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 5: Bubba Wallace. All the attention given to Guthrie case, where

445
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 5: they sent forty seven agents down to I think it

446
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 5: was North Carolina to investigate the news that was actually

447
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 5: a garage handle pull. Yeah, yeah, and you know it's

448
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 5: the exact same thing Limited Resource is going. And at

449
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: the end of the day, it's all politics. It's not

450
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 5: about solving crimes or anything like. Mostly somewhat crime, but

451
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 5: it is mostly about politics. I'm a retired government employee.

452
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 5: I was in the military for thirty four years. I

453
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 5: also worked for the Department of Defense. And you have

454
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 5: to see what government is for what it's worth. It

455
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: only does what it's in its own self fenced interest,

456
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 5: not necessarily your interest at all. Right, you know, and

457
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 5: I think if we look at all the things that

458
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 5: you bring out, you know that the Reduction Violence Manager,

459
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 5: how come the news is not covering any of that?

460
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: Well, I may be ask. I'll ask Scott Warton from

461
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: the Cincinni Inquirer that one. He's on the program at

462
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: eight o five. You know, how come this one under

463
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: everybody except Signal ninety nine's radar. You know, clearly violence

464
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: is a topic that is a major issue for Greater

465
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati generally, but also the residents of the city of Cincinnati.

466
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Look at the beat downs, look at the robberies, look

467
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: at the stabbings and the murders and the shootings and

468
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the dry bys and all that. Yeah, we got some

469
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: dangerous neighborhoods and this may this may very well serve

470
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: to address it. Did Sheryl Loong do something great by

471
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: hiring this Katie Bell, the marketing expert, as the violence

472
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: reduction manager. That's worthy reporting, isn't it? Isn't that something interesting?

473
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: I think so? Now we got a kidnapping to worry about. Anyhow,

474
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: this reminded me remember the movie Old School with Blue

475
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: the old guy, Remember how he died? Jay I remember

476
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: the jello wrestling match. We go to Castlebury, Florida, Seminole

477
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: County strip clubs suiting being sued after a guy died

478
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: after a medical emergency on the premises. Lawsuit followed earlier

479
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: this week by the widow of rajiev Nai says the

480
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: employees at Rachel's North Men's Club and Steakhouse. Oh that's

481
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: a gross. That's a gross combinate food and stripper poles.

482
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe. They said they failed to get in

483
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: proper medical help when he lost consciousness. Rather than calling

484
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: nine to one one, staff reportedly put him in a

485
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: tax he'd set him home without administering first date or

486
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: attempting to stabilize him. Sorry, Yes, there is a little

487
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: laughter in behind my voice here. I'm not trying to

488
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: laugh at this guy's situation, but it is stack as stupid.

489
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: Tommy was removed from the premises. Lawsuit points out that

490
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: Nai had stopped breathing and required immediate medical attention, which

491
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: wasn't provided. Complaint also says that Rachel's employees were negligent

492
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: in the response and failed to protect naive harm. Also,

493
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: the defendants failed to train and supervise their staff on

494
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: how to handle medical emergencies and did not have reasonable

495
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: safety protocols in place for patrons at least once or

496
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: in distress loss. It also adds that NAII had a

497
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: prior incident months earlier at another Rachel's location near Orlando

498
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: International Airport. It's a franchise on medicasion. NI also lost consciousness,

499
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: but the emergency medical services were called. He was taking

500
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: the hospital and admitted. Nai family seeking damages of fifteen

501
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for loss of support and services, metal pain, suffering,

502
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: loss of earnings, funeral and hospital expenses, and other damages.

503
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Surprised that maybe that's a minimum stated damage claim, because

504
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: I suspect they're going to be asking for a whole

505
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: lot more than that. My Boy Blue five forty five

511
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: for putting it together. I Dearly, Dearly, Yeah, I'm not Catholic,

512
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: so I'm not giving up anything. I don't. I have

513
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: never understood what the point was of giving up meat

514
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: on just one day, but then again, that was an

515
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: older rule. But hell, we've got fish Friday and that

516
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: is great because Dearly love a deep fried fish sandwich.

517
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: So we got about a month of that coming up

Speaker 1: five Carsea dot com. Oh, and Joe did some research

521
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: Internet research. Greury is the the strip joint where they

522
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: serve steaks and apparently is more like a Hooter's of

523
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: steak joints, So scanty clad women providing you are serving

524
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: you between sixty and ninety dollars steaks or perhaps the

525
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: sixty dollars charcooterie board. Thank you Joe for doing the research.

526
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: There's a chain option there for you too, Joe, if

527
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: you want to open one locally. Back to the stack

528
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: of stupid. A naked guy who stole an ambulance with

529
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: a patient inside arrested after a multi agency chase ending

530
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: in a field in Pittsville, Wisconsin. Suspect Benjamin Felts corner

531
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: of the Wisconsin Rapids Fire Department. They responded to a

532
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: call five thirty pm ambulance parked in the fourteen hudd

533
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: block of twenty second Avenue while Cruz provided care to

534
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: a patient. Felts, authorities later learned had been evading law enforcement,

535
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: was doing pushups while naked in public got in the

536
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: ambulance driver's see. Two paramedics were in the patient compartment

537
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: with the patient at the time. Corn to Police Chief

538
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: Daniel houstin speaking with the news, you hear that come

539
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: up over the radio, Hey, so that someone's stolen an ambulance.

540
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: At first of your thought is did they just say

541
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: someone stolen ambulance? How in the hell does that happen?

542
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: One paramedic immediately got out of the ambulance to figure

543
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: out what was going on and attempted to engage this

544
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Felts guy, and that's when Felt began driving away. The

545
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: second paramedic attempt to prevent him from moving, but was

546
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: forced out of the ambulance. Chase, said Western Highway seventy

547
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: three deputies assisting Wisconsin Rapids officers attempted to end the chase,

548
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: deployed to tired deflation devices that didn't work as a

549
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: chase entered Pittsville. Officers from the Pittsville Police Department were

550
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: ultimately successful in stopping the ambulance with stop sticks, and

551
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: he ended up in a field. Refused multiple commands to

552
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: get out of the ambulance. Because of the urgent concern

553
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: for the patient. Wisconsin officers deployed a drone to safely

554
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: observe Felts from a distance. Then a coordinated a team

555
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: of officers and deputies approached the ambulance and took him

556
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: into custody, apparently without incident. Patient inside the ambulance during

557
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: the theft safe taken to the hospital. Felt booking to

558
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: the Woods County Jail on disorderly conduct, lout, and lasivious

559
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: behavior operating a motor vehicle without an owner's consent, obstructing

560
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: emergency personnel, recklessly endangering safety, threats to law enforcement, and

561
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: of course, operating the quote while intoxicated. Third offense. Third offense,

562
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: let's see. Charles Gregory, thirty five, missus in Wisconsin, arrested

563
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: after he quote got into an argument with his significant

564
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: other close quote punching her in the head while he

565
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: was driving, and then Joe rock henaded. District Attorney Jason

566
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Sanders said that he then threatened to beat her in

567
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: front of the children when they got home. When they

568
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: got home, woman attempted to run to the neighbor's house,

569
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: but Gregory punched her several times and tried to quote

570
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: stomp her Chicago style close quote while she was on

571
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: the side. H victim able to break seeks safety in

572
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: the neighbor's house, but as Gregory drove home from the scene,

573
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: he called the neighbor and threatened to quote have someone

574
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: take care of her close quote for just getting involved.

575
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: He was on parole for a prior armed robbery conviction.

576
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: He was arrested and sent back to prison. During his incarceration,

577
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: prosecutors said he called the victim from jail recorded the

578
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: recorded line. Of course they're recording it. You're in jail. Quote.

579
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Some domestic abusers are cold heartless folks who will stomp, punch,

580
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: and threaten anyone to try and gain control at a

581
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: comment from the district attorney. When we find those folks,

582
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: we need grateful for the neighbors who helped us get away,

583
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: the police officers who put abusers in jail, and prosecutors

584
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: like Jerry Arbic who pushed for the strongest punishment allowed

585
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: under law. Jerry did find him guilty of threatening a witness,

586
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: domestic battery, and two other misdemeanors. He will soon be sentenced.

587

Speaker 1: have Pervoll talking about that, trying to shore it up.

615
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: So limited dollars, finite resources, and they're giving out free

616
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: legal assistance, free legal assistance, priorities, and maybe he'll ask

617
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: answer the question, what the hell is the violence reduction manager?

618
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: And how is it that city manager Cheryl Long decided

619
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: to promote Kate Bell. I don't know this woman, but

620
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: apparently she is a graphic designer who is now and

621
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: her resume is longer than that. But all relates to,

622
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, things that have no connection whatsoever? Is signal

623
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine pointed out in her post yesterday. She'll be

624
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: joining the program tomorrow maybe to talk about this. But

625
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: how can a person basically who is a graphic designer

626
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: become the violence reduction manager? Did you know that post

627
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: was open? Do you know what they're going to make?

628
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what that post is going to involve?

629
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: What has anything to do with Why isn't violence reduction

630
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: just part of the police department generally speaking? And I

631
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: thought that's what the police department was for? Hm, HM

632
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: questions swirling swirling, swirling five one, three, seven, four, nine,

633
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three

634
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: taco with pound five fifty on eighteen and t fund

635
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: I forgot Jay Ratler at eight thirty Every Thursday here

636
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. You what Maureen's got this morning? Marreen,

637
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Happy Thursday to you.

638
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian. I'm much like you and Jay. I

639
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: kind of see it over a little overwhelming about how

640
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 3: much the Savannah Gothrie stuff is filling the every media channel.

641
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: And I talk to some of my neighbors, some of

642
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: which most of are liberal, and I ask them, do

643
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: they do you know anything about the Epstein files? And

644
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 3: they say, no, I'm so focused on the Savannah Gothrie.

645
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 8: Thing of her.

646
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 3: They do, yes, It's a major distraction. They aren't looking

647
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: at anything. I said, do you know you can go

648
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 3: to Justice dot gov slash Epstein and put in the

649
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: search box anything you want to know. Hillary Clinton's mentioned

650
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 3: this many times, and Pizzagate and all the children's sacrifices,

651
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: the blood sacrifices of children. Does that not interest you

652
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: one bit? And they just all they talk about is

653
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 3: Savannah Gothrie. So I thought, if I'm thinking that under

654
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: the prism of a military operation, which I say we're under,

655
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: how could that play into being part of that? So

656
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 3: I started researching it and listen to different podcasts, and

657
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 3: I found out about Savannah Kutrie's husband. His name's Michael Salthman.

658
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 3: He worked for Senior Advisors, a group in the Clinton

659
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: for Foundation or Clinton Bore administration, and he worked for

660
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: a firm called Clover Park Group and their company that

661
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: offered services like media strategy, government relations, and crisis management

662
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 3: communications for Clinton and Gore and also am Obvioust Well

663
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: different podcasts they talk about this and they say that

664
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: they are who's basically a scrubber for the Clintons, so

665
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: they know everything about the Clinton scandals, all the things

666
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: they were involved in. So he knows a lot about that.

667
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: So could this potentially be leading people down what they

668
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 3: think is kind of an innocent path where they don't

669
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 3: have to pay attention to anything going on with Epstein.

670
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 3: But then all of a sudden you find yourself in

671
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: the middle of a man who often the glove and

672
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: a park and this guy worked for Glover Park and

673
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 3: that could tie to different things where he all things

674
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 3: are unraveled about the Clinton Could.

675
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: Mab I should perhaps down the road maybe, Mariene, You're

676
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: saying a lot of things, but what you are revealing

677
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: is that you have very closely studied this Guthrie situation.

678
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: You know a hell of a lot more than even

679
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: I have heard. You've connected it with people that I

680
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: have no idea question why? See, this is what's troubling

681
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: about it. It's not that, you know, maybe something's looming

682
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: in the background, perhaps implicating the Clintons or Epstein or

683
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: whoever the hell else? How is it that that particular

684
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: story has commanded everyone's attention in the absence of concrete

685
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: details along the lines what you're talking about. They know

686
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: what we like to click on. They can do research

687
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: on it. It's easy to figure it out. Hey, everybody's

688
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: clicking on the Guthrie story. Let's promote that. It's a

689
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: great distraction. It's keeping people from paying attention to war

690
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: and and every other problem we got going on in

691
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: the world. I think it's revealing of us as a society,

692
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, and also the you know, us as a

693
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: society in our reaction to law enforcement, and you know

694
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: that we don't maybe stand up like we're doing this

695
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: morning and talk a little bit more about Wait a second,

696
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: with all the murders and all the kidnappings and all

697
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: the crime going on in the world, who else gets

698
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: this kind of level of attention and resources from law

699
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: enforcement generally, who gets the whole resources of the FBI

700
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: working on their particular murder case or whatever. Nobody.

701
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 3: That's my point. It's leading people down a path, because

702
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 3: that's the path that people tend to follow when they disturbing.

703
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: It is very disturbing.

704
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's I think that's the broader point I'm trying.

705
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, it says a lot about society that we're

706
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: easily distracted. Hey, look at the monkey, dancing monkey. Yeah,

707
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: it's over there, look at him, Look at him. Pay

708
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: no attention to the man behind the curtain. We got

709
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: the great glorious ouz.

710
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: Hopefully that's where the path takes.

711
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: It to reveal it wherever it goes.

712
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 3: People are on.

713
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: I'm worried about bombs being dropping around more than I

714
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: am about whatever happens this particular kidnapping. Not they don't

715
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: have sympathy for the family of any victim of a crime.

716
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: But how is it this way with that?

717
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 3: But maybe it's leading down a path, Brian, to broader things.

718
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm not saying it's good that everybody's playing this attention,

719
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: but you have to go with the mentality of those people.

720
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: Well, I would like to hope that someday people have

721
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: a higher level of discerning and priorities about what they

722
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: think is newsworthy, what is important to them, what is

723
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: actually impacting their life. We've got a prime problem generally speaking.

724
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 1: We've got billions of billions of dollars of fraud, waste,

725
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: and abuse in cities across this great land of ours.

726
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: That's our tax payer money. I would like to think

727
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: that would dominate the news more than a singular kidnapping

728
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: of one arguably prominent family.

729
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 3: You know, That's what frustrated me about my neighbors, because

730
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 3: I was so frustrated that they don't know anything about

731
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: anything else. That's all they're focused on. So I'm trying

732
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: to find a way that maybe that's going to lead

733
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 3: to more knowledge for them in a way that they

734
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 3: wouldn't normally seek out.

735
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: Well, I think one of my point hope springs eternal. Maureene.

736
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: You are talking about its apparently some diehard Democrats. How

737
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: long have you been waiting around for them to see

738
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: the light on any given topic that we're talking about.

739
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 3: I've been trying to introduce something and I get kicked

740
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 3: out of the book club. I don't get invited to

741
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 3: day but that's okay because I have a very low

742
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: tolerance for them. But I feel like I can make

743
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 3: some ground, right at.

744
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: Least you're trying. I encourage everyone to give it a shot. Try, try, try,

745
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: try and try, go ahead, and you know, and maybe

746
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: we can all collectively endeavor to focus on something that's

747
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: really truly important in our lives. Maureene, you know I

748
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: love you. Thanks, appreciate the call. May Thanks Mike. That's

749
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: the reality of the world we live in. It might

750
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: related to nothing. I want to get this in here

751
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: because I have not a fan of pre K education

752
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: and I thought this was really funny. This is a

753
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: w k r c's Jim Pilcher reporting. I saw this

754
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: on Facebook and I did a connect over to the article.

755
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: Here are the try state's districts with the highest and

756
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: lowest kindergarten readiness scores, and they focus on Kentucky, which

757
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: is where all the numbers were crunched. But I think

758
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: it's illustrative of the broader problem and question mark Governor

759
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: Andy Bsheer, pushing for universal pre K instruction for all

760
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: the children statewide, suffer the children to come on to me,

761
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: we can get them into the education system before they're

762
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: even in kindergarten. Really young kids being taken care of

763
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: literally by the state. We got a gap in kindergarten

764
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: readiness problem. It's of oh my god, and that can

765
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: that can shape the outcome of students for years. They

766
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: are arguing. Got a guy named Terry Brooks or maybe woman,

767
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, Terry t R r Y apparently of

768
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: affiliated with the nonprofit and GOO Kentucky Youth Advocates, claiming

769
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: the children kindergarten readiness affects more than first years of school. Hmm,

770
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: where might this lead? Gordon Brooks, kindergarten readiness is a

771
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: factor that's going to ripple throughout the K through twelve system,

772
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: not just for primary grades elementary schools. It's going to

773
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: touch on high school graduation. It's going to touch on

774
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: eighth grade math.

775
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 9: Huh.

776
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Your readiness for kindergarten is going to impact something way

777
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: down the road in terms of years. That's the position.

778
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: And so they provide a full list of these various

779
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: schools and the largest districts, and you know the percentage

780
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: of how many kids are ready. Never once does the

781
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: article discuss what it actually means to be ready for kindergarten.

782
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: They're just saying that they lack readiness. Numbers reflect the

783
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: challenges educators face when children enter kindergarten for the first time.

784
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: Educate NKY Vice president Jerry Watson, interviewed, said the districts

785
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: with lower readiness can face challenges that affect more than

786
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: just the students who arrive unprepared, saying when kids come

787
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: in not ready, the entire system gets clogged in that

788
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: you can't stay on grade level with standards right out

789
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: of the gate. Catching students up academically is difficult once

790
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: they start behind. WHOA hold the phone here. I don't

791
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: know what it means to be ready for kid. I

792
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: don't know that I had any unique skill sets or anything.

793
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: I do appreciate my mom being around to at least

794
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: try to educate me on some level. But you know

795
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: what they're worried about kids being behind in kindergarten. And

796
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: yet fast forward, look at K through twelve math scores,

797
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: look at K through score readings, K through twelve reading scores,

798
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: and the phenomenon that we are we are faced with

799
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: here in this world of woke policies and education DEI

800
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: and all that no one gets left behind. We will

801
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: not hold a child back even if they can't demonstrate

802
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: the proficiency level for any given grade, they are gonna

803
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: move on to the next grade. Oh my god, might

804
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: that be a problem down the road If you haven't

805
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: been if you are not ready for the grade that

806
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: you're in, if you have not demonstrated the grade you're in,

807
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: level of academic expertise, and they move you to the

808
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: next grade, Oh my god, you're gonna be left behind.

809
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna have a ripple effect. No kidding. Now, this

810
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: does not mean I support pre K education because I

811
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: don't want young children in an indoctrination camp before they're

812
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: even in kindergarten, which is really the goal of the

813
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: education system.

814
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 6: Here.

815
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: It's cradle two grade in doctrination with some free time

816
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: off to protest ice. But I find it laughable that

817
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: these educators pushing for pre K because they're worried about

818
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: kindergarten readiness, when they do not give a whit about

819
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: whether your child is capable of mastering the next level

820
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: skills or capable of even approaching the next grade level

821
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: skills because they don't have the skills of the grade

822
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: they're in. We can't have anyone held back that would

823
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: hurt their feelings, all right, I wouldn't hang your hat

824
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: on this argument educators who are pushing for pre K,

825
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: there are other options out there. One of the Republicans

826
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: in Northern Kentucky suggests that maybe two thousand dollars for

827
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: every child consider ready to enter kindergarten, which would allow

828
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: them some flexibility to get into some of these qualified

829
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: childcare centers that there are available out there. But whether

830
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: or not somebody should get money for pre K education

831
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: or there should be some universal pre K education, fine,

832
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: if you're going to go that direction, let's at least

833
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: bake into the into the entire system, the idea that

834
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: we will not pass any child who has not demonstrated

835
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: a mastery of the grade that they're in. Period. End

836
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: of story. You may solve a systemic problem which can

837
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: be boiled down into one word stupidity five three, seven,

838
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three talk

839

Speaker 1: pound five fifty on ET and T funds. Give me

840
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: a call. Maybe you got a different viewpoint of it,

841
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you got something else you want to talk about,

842
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: and maybe you want to get your kitchen remodel that's

Speaker 1: here fifty five KRCD talk station and a Happy Friday.

861
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: Eve I even followed the Mom Domi mayor and Mayor

862
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: Mom Dammi in New York City. The crazy COMI and

863
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: he's got budget problems. Uh, they're planning on canceling the

864
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: expected increase in police officers five thousand new officers under

865
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: the prior Mayor Eric Adams proposal, and those were those

866
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: were in the pipeline. Nope, we're not going to do that.

867
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: We got a budget problem. We need to raise taxes

868
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: on the wealthy. That's the answer to literally everything, Raising

869
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: taxes on the wealthy. And he hasn't appreciated the reality

870
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: that people are leaving their fleeing in significant numbers because

871
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: the stupid policies of the Mamdami administration, the stupid policies

872
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: of New York generally speaking, and the fact that well

873
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, at some junction you run out of other

874
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: people's money. You cannot sustain the biamoth that is the

875
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: size of New York's budget and the size of their government.

876
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: So while they're cutting police officers, and he's wrestling with

877
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hochel about trying to get her to concede

878
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: to raising the income tax on all wealthy people, enter

879
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: the ten percent hike in real estate. How do you

880
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: think that's going to impact the poor that he purports

881
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: to represent. How do rent controlled apartments pass along the

882
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: overwhelming burden of the tax increase along to the rent

883
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: controlled dwellers in there. They can't a lot of more

884
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: abandoning those properties. That makes life worse, doesn't it. But

885
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: we got to have our racial equity offices. Going back

886
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: to Signal ninety nine's post here related to the City

887
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati were creating a new violence reduction manager and

888
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: handing that role over to Kate Bell, who apparently has

889
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: a degree in graphic design. So Montdami struggling with this

890
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: will not cut government, but he will well expand racial

891
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: equity and create a bureaucracy out of it. With six

892
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: figure diversity positions, they got one hundred and twenty seven

893
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: billion dollar budget, again proposing higher property taxes and higher

894
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: income taxes, so they can well close the gap on

895
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: the whole. Under Madamie's plan, the city's initial cap Office

896
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: of Racial Equity, they're going to get five point six

897
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: million annually. Over to the Commission on Racial Equity, separate

898
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: initial cap entity, they're going to get four point six million.

899
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: So you got a combine total of ten point two

900
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: million for two different offices involving racial equity. That's a

901
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: three million dollar increase forty two percent jump from the

902
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 1: the seven point two million dollars they gave them last year.

903
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: Described as supporting a growing racial equity apparatus within New

904
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: York City government, Officer Racial Equity they have a staff

905
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: of thirty eight people coordinating and implementing racial equity policies

906
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: across various agencies. The other one, the Commission of Racial Equity,

907
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: has sixteen paid jobs functioning as a completely separate advisory

908
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: and analytical body doing research, developing recommendations, providing oversight relating

909
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: to racial equity policy, and beyond that ten point two

910
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: million dollars. The budget also funds several high level diversity

911
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: positions across agencies. Department of Education, they have a two

912
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand dollars annual salary for their Chief

913
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: Diversity Officer. Great Over at the Fire Department gott to

914
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,800

Speaker 1: well diversity inclusion officer positions. It goes on and on,

920
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I just I sort of reach a

921
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: conclusion here that there are thousands and thousands of unemployed

922
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: people with college degrees relating to something involving equity and

923
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: racial diversity and inclusion, and that every one of those

924
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: folks needs a job. Much like the Green New Deal,

925
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: Let's create a whole cloth new industry. Let's make something up,

926
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: Let's apply ridiculous principles. Let's fly in the face of

927
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: logic and reason. Let's advance children beyond the grade that

928
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: they're in even though they haven't mastered the skills. Why

929
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: because of well equity. That's an entire industry. Now, folks,

930
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: maybe I'm stated the obvious. Maybe this has been apparent

931
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: to you for years and years. But when you're dealing

932
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: with scarce dollars, these are taxpayer dollars, you want the

933
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: best bang for your tax payer dollar. Buck, I wouldn't

934
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: look at New York City. I certainly wouldn't look at

935
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,200

00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: be your feelings are going to be hurt. Maybe there's

960
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: some evil person out there who might insult you. You know,

961
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will

962
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: never hurt me. How about to adopting that attitude quiting sensitive.

963
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: You know, we raise a bunch of kids who want

964
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: to ball up in a fetal position and need a

965
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: safe space in any given environment. What kind of people

966
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: are we raising? People who are incapable of dealing with

967
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: the challenges of life. You don't study, you don't know them,

968
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: you haven't mastered mathematics or reading on your grade level.

969
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:37,680

00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 6: You know.

971
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: You may be upset you're gonna have to do grade

972
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: three or four or whatever over again, but it's in

973

976
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 1: Isn't that good for society? It might put a little

977
00:53:53,320 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: callous on them. Geez wheeze. You know, just you're provileged, Thomas.

978
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: You know what, I could go back to all kinds

979
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: of countless illustration in my personal life where I was

980
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: feeling bad and people said evil and nasty things to me,

981
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: and oh my god, I'm emotional and I'm crying and

Speaker 1: planning to talk about it out in the world. If

987
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: you want to pick a subject matter, feel free. Just

988
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: don't let it be about the kidnapping case. Uh seen

989
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: enough of that, uh five three seven fifty two three

990
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: talks just kind of springing from the realities of the

991
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: New York budget situation, which is a Charlie Fox trot.

992
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: They got a spending problem. Oh, we got a fund

993
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: the diversity equally inclusion jobs. We gotta do at We

994
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: gotta pay for everything, free this for you, that, free busses,

995
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: for everything. You got a spending problem. You are the

996
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: whole and you got to fill the whole. There's not

997
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: enough money out there in the real world for people

998
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: who can actually leave your state and go someplace else where.

999
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: They're not going to be taxed to death. That's what's

1000
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: going on. While they propose ten percent increases in property taxes,

1001
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: increases in income taxes. Oh my, God, those evil rich

1002
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: people need to fund all these programs. We got a

1003
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: priority problem, a massive priority problem. Got one here in

1004
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: the city as well. Nobody willing to address the spending challenges,

1005
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: and the problem extends to Washington. This is a true

1006
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 1: what we call existential threat. And I saw an article

1007
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: which relates to the realities of the problems we are facing,

1008
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: colossal problems we're facing with federal level spending. The typical

1009
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: American worker, this is such a crazy, scary thing to behold.

1010
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: Studied by the National Institute on Retirement Security found that

1011
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: among all workers between the age of twenty one and

1012
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 1: sixty four, including those who haven't saved anything for retirement,

1013
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 1: the median amount saved in a defined contribution plan nine

1014
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five dollars nine hundred and fifty five. Now,

1015
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: I struggle to comprehend the idea of living on a

1016
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: SOCIS security check. And if you're out there doing this,

1017
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: I bet you could tell me all day long how

1018
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: difficult and how challenging that is. That's why people are

1019
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: encouraged to take advantage of four oh one k's and

1020
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: put a little bit of money away plan for the future,

1021
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: because the future is unwritten, and you have no idea

1022
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: if you're even going to get that figure. They tell

1023
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: you you're going to get maybe on your Social Security

1024
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: mailing you get I guess annually, Oh, I'm going to

1025
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: be getting up. No, it says right there in the

1026
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: in the paperwork that that's just an estimated figure and

1027
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: is no guarantee that you're going to get it. And

1028
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: with that, pivoting over to the headline, what Washington won't

1029
00:56:55,239 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: talk about. They're fiddling while Rome burns. In essence, if

1030
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: I get a kick out of the intro from the

1031
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: editorial board of The Wall Street sorry to interrupt the

1032
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein circus, or I might interact the kidnapping circus.

1033
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: Congressional Budget Office released the latest ten year budget baseline,

1034
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: and they point out that members of both parties are

1035
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: less interested in fixing America's entitlement problems than in performative

1036
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: politics like oh, Jim Crow two point oh yeah, go

1037
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: ahead and scream and yell about how dumb that argument is.

1038
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: We got a spending problem on our hands. CBO did

1039
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: report that a one point eight trillion dollar deficit in

1040
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five fiscal year fifty seven billion lower

1041
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: than the prior year. But don't get all giddy with

1042
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: excitement because their forecast is frightening. Entitlements are a real

1043
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: problem and a challenge in something that is the third

1044
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: rail of politics. No politician is willing to even acknowledge

1045
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: that this is happening. Spending increase eleven point four trillion,

1046
00:57:55,360 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: increase eleven point four trillion dollars in counterary, you're twenty

1047
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: thirty six from currently seven trillion. Revenue not growing as

1048
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: fast to meet that increase in spending. That's going to

1049
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: be necessary. Medicaid expected to grow forty seven percent, social

1050
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: Security growing seventy four percent, and then there's Medicare for

1051
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: my senior friends out there. You're you took it at

1052
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and five percent increase over the next decade. Now,

1053
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,439
Speaker 1: they even point out CBO has a tendency to underestimate

1054
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: the spending growth, especially in entitlements. Back in May twenty

1055
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty two, the baseline underestimated spending by on Medicaid underestimated

1056
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: by one hundred and twenty one billion, fifteen billion for Medicare,

1057
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: Obamacare subsidies underestimated by sixty nine billion, and underestimated veterans

1058
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: benefits by eighty billion. They also screwed up on the

1059
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: consumer price index. They said it would fall, but now

1060
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: they're projecting that the consumer price inflation gates is not

1061
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: going to go down to two point three percent until

1062
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. No relief there if you look at

1063
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: look at Medicare Part D. In November, CBO said that

1064
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: between twenty seventeen to twenty twenty two, the annual growth

1065
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: and projection for Medicare costs Part D plans five percent

1066
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,919
Speaker 1: reduction to a four percent increase. Hold the phone. They've

1067
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: readjusted their figure and now the projections have increased a lot.

1068
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: Part D increases twenty percent last year, forty two percent

1069
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in twenty four forty two percent last year.

1070
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: They're expecting thirty five percent increase this year. That's an increase.

1071
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: Medicaid expected to grow roughly twice as fast as inflation

1072
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: and dispend and defense spending over the next decade. And

1073
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: of course there's that pesky debt. They say, all told,

1074
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: spending expected to increase twenty four point four percent of

1075
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: gross domestic product in twenty thirty six. It's twenty three

1076
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: point one percent. Way too high, and that we're all

1077
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: at that. And as the United States issues more debt,

1078
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: interest payments are projected to double by twenty thirty six. Double.

1079
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: We're currently paying about one trillion dollars annually. It's our

1080
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: credit card interest payment a trillion. It's going to be two.

1081
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Someone needs a recond with a spending problem. Someone needs

1082
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: to expect less from government. Quit asking for more departments,

1083
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: quit asking to expand the role of government. Do they

1084
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:35,919
Speaker 1: ever deliver on a solution for life's problems, and wake

1085
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: up to the reality that it's an institution generally speaking

1086
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: of I don't believe can be trusted. You're looking at

1087
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: your Social Security statement. It says you can't guarantee that

1088
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: you're not guaranteed that amount, and is that amount even

1089
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: as it's stated enough for you to live on, Especially

1090
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: when the projections are that the amount of people living

1091
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: on Social Security is going to double. The number is

1092
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: only going to get bigger and bigger and big. We

1093
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: need to cut somewhere in order to bring this to

1094
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: maybe something that will actually work in the long run.

1095
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: You still may not be able to live on it,

1096
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: but at least maybe if they reformed and they quit

1097
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: spending so damn much they might be able to deliver

1098
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: at least on the figure that you see on the

1099
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: SOSIA Security report you get every year. Six forty six Mississippi, James,

1114
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,680

01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: are willing to spend an insane amount of money on

1116

1123
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 11: tangle web we weez. Then Brian, also my third comment,

1124
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 11: I realize I'm in a small class of people that's free,

1125
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 11: that's happy, that's healthy, and wealthy, and that could change

1126
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 11: tomorrow now. But I'm saying up to this point, I

1127
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 11: satisfy each one of them categories good for you, free, happy, healthy,

1128
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 11: and wealthy.

1129
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Good for you.

1130
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 11: And you know, and as I was listing at all

1131
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 11: the problems of peoples in the world, you know, it's

1132
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 11: just swinging.

1133
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 2: You know.

1134
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 11: I talk about that pendulum all the time. One moment

1135
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 11: that Republican got these talking points, you give it a

1136
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 11: couple of weeks, the Democrats usually the same talking point.

1137
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 11: They just swing to the other side, you know. So

1138
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 11: and so people began to realize that, hey, that's a

1139
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 11: swinging pendelm and you know, we got to come together,

1140
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 11: and I mean necessary, but we need to come together

1141
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 11: and realize we got more in common than we have

1142
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 11: in difference. So until that part get focused, all the money,

1143
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 11: you know, just like Trump, I go to him. Now,

1144
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 11: he's the man that was supposed to stop wars in

1145
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 11: one day as he ran on that campaign president of

1146
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 11: the United States. Now we're talking about dropping bomb on

1147
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 11: this other country because I think nuclear arms that they

1148
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 11: looking to go. But everybody their own little bits that

1149
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 11: they can choose.

1150
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, yes, sir, all right, but.

1151
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 11: You're digress from there. I know you got a word

1152
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 11: on it.

1153
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: But no, I'm glad you started off by pointing out

1154
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: that you are happy. You recognize your freedom and you're

1155
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: enjoying this moment in time. You know, life is what

1156
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: you make it. It's one of my favorite Dostoyeeski quotes

1157
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: and I can't find it immediately, but you know, these

1158
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: guys talking around, they're standing in the group and his

1159
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: brothers Kraen MAT's off one of my favorite books of

1160
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 1: all time, and the one the guy observes, you know,

1161
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: life is heaven if you choose to make it. So

1162
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: you need to look around you everything that we have

1163
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the trees, the birds, the beautiful condiction, you know, the environment,

1164
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: whatever life is heaven. You just embrace that concept and

1165
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: we will all collectively smile and embrace each other and

1166
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: weep with joy. Or the flip side of that is,

1167
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: obviously life can be hell. Do you know what's gonna

1168
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: happen after you die? James, You have no idea. You

1169
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: can believe in a higher power, you can believe in

1170
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: the concept of heaven and hell. You can believe there's

1171
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: something other out there in the afterlife, but you don't

1172
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: know for certain. But what do you know that you

1173
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: get this day, You get this moment in time, and

1174
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: you can make it a happy moment in time. Or

1175
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: you can walk around grumbling and angry and really just

1176
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: generally pissed off, usually over a bunch of stuff that's

1177
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: completely out of your control. Evil Trump, evil orange man.

1178
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk around with an angry look on my

1179
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: face and protest literally everything over which I have no control. Why,

1180
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: evil orange man, You've ruined your life. You have made

1181
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: your life a hell because you don't like him. Isn't

1182
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: that just It's foolish, foolish exercise, a foolish waste of

1183
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: the gift of life that you've got, that you can't

1184
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: take a moment to act like Mississippi James and just

1185
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: reflect about how damn it. I am free, and I'm

1186
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: happy about it, and I'm happy where I am. No,

1187
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't have like nine gajillion dollars in the bank,

1188
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: and I don't live in some giant house on the

1189
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: ocean front. But you know what, I got a roof

1190
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: over my head, I got food on my table, I

1191
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: got loved one, I got friends. I have lots and

1192
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: lots and lots of things in this world that I

1193
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: should be focused on and should take a moment and

1194
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: enjoy my life and should smile. It's not a sin

1195
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: to smile and be happy. And oh, isn't there something

1196
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: like a specter looming the background of this discussion because

1197
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: I talk about it all the time. Divide, Divide, divide, divide.

1198
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: There are non governmental organizations, well oiled machine groups that

1199
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: are out there feeding the fire of division, feeding that hatred,

1200
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: feeding the misery that you individually will experience if you

1201
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: go along with it. They love that it's disruptive to

1202
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: a well ordered society. It's disruptive to the concept that

1203
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: James just articulated that, you know what, in this country anyway,

1204
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: we've got a hell of a lot more to be

1205
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: smiling about and be happy about just giving that one

1206
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: single word freedom and then reflect on who's trying to

1207
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,520

01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: number of tickets. We're going to hear from Keith Detchrich's

1226
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Deserts from the Cure starts now at bottom of this hour.

1227
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: Fast forward one hour, very much looking forward to have

1228
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: to CINCINNI acquire Scott Wortman on to talk about the

1229
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: new Immigration Legal Defense Fund in a city that's struggling

1230
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: to deal with budget issues and contemplating raising income tax. Yes,

1231
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: they're providing free services for illegal immigrants. Going back to priorities,

1232
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: what do you expect from government, especially a government that

1233
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: is short on money and a government with five hundred

1234
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: million dollars in behind road repairs and other infrastructure repairs.

1235
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: It's growing every year. Every year it gets more expensive.

1236
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Prioritization anyway, it's two hundred plus thousand dollars. I though

1237
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: it seems like a drop in the bucket, is just

1238
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: one thing. Mind the pennies of dollars mind themselves comes

1239
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: to mind immediately and real quick. Here one of my

1240
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: favorite quotes speaking from Mississippi, James talking about life as

1241
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: heaven or not make it what you will be angry,

1242
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: be Greta Thunberger, walk around pissed off your entire life.

1243
01:08:56,360 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: You've ruined the opportunity which is enjoying a life that

1244
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, that you know, is there no guarantee of

1245
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: heaven as you perceive it. So I'm saying no, Jesus

1246
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 1: Christ came back and told us all about it. That's fine.

1247
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: That is your religious belief. Some people are not doctrinally

1248
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: or dogmatic Christian. Dogmatically Christian, and many Christians within the

1249
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,600
Speaker 1: like thousands of different subdivisions of Christianity, don't have the

1250
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: harp and rainbows and clouds perception of heaven. It's different,

1251
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: and the perception of heaven and hell's changed over the

1252
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: years under theology as well. But what do you know?

1253
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: You got the gift of life that you have been given.

1254
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Thank you mom and dad for that, and thankfully for

1255
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 1: my mom and dad the gift of education, which I

1256
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: always put in at number two after the gift of

1257
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: life that my mom and dad gave me. But as

1258
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: Dostoyevski says, look around you at the gifts of God,

1259
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: the clear sky, the pure air, the tender grass, the birds.

1260
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 1: Nature is beautiful and sinless, and we only we are

1261
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: sinful and foolish, and we do not understand that life

1262
01:09:56,120 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: is heaven. But we have only to understan and that,

1263
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 1: and it will at once be fulfilled in all its beauty.

1264
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: We shall embrace each other and weep. And I presume

1265
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: that's weep and tears of joy. Life is heaven, as

1266
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: he states it, But could it not also be hell?

1267
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: That is a choice that you make. I think one

1268
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: of the biggest systemic problems we have in this world

1269
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 1: is maybe fed by social media or whatever, that nobody

1270
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: seems to just put a smile on their face anymore.

1271
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: There's always something is just in the back of your

1272
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: head that just makes you well. Embrace that, greta Thunbird. Look,

1273
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: you say what you want about religion, but you know,

1274
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: most people that I know that are devoutly religious. They

1275
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: have been freed of the burdens and the complications of

1276
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: life because they are profoundly of the belief that there

1277
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: is something perhaps better out there afterwards. But I think

1278
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: that allows people of faith to relax and enjoy. Like

1279
01:10:52,360 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Mississippi James said, I'm free and I'm happy. So if

1280
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: you think that there's something better after this doesn't that

1281
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: allow you to make that this gift that you have,

1282
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 1: this gift of life, that much more enjoyable now because

1283
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: you have been freed of the burdens of maybe what

1284
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: happens next. Just throwing it out there, I'm trying to

1285
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: engage in some measure of positivity as I reflect on

1286
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: where most of this anger seems to emanate from. Anyhow, Oh,

1287
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: Lawrence is on the phone. Lawrence just looked up, so

1288
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: you're on the call screen. Welcome to the program, and

1289
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you, sir. Sorry, I'm on a

1290
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: weird tear this morning.

1291
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 12: Welcome, It's okay, Brian, Happy Friday Eve. I wanted to

1292
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 12: call and talk to you. I'm glad you're going to

1293
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 12: have Scott warping on. Yeah, because these policies coming out

1294
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 12: of City Hall. You know, you hear it all the time,

1295
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 12: but let us have consequences, and now we have Now

1296
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 12: I'm members of council pushing legislation to spaing tax money

1297
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:53,480
Speaker 12: on illegals.

1298
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's where we're at.

1299
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Bob blown.

1300
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lawrence. Say, how does that sit with you?

1301
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: This is just like, wait a second, who came up

1302
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: with this idea. It was unanimously passed. We're gonna spend

1303
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: through two hundred thousand dollars for legal representation. And you

1304
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: know what legal representation is? Literally anybody is that the

1305
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: role of a city government to provide legal representation? I

1306
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: personally think no, hell no, especially a government it is

1307
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: short on money, it's getting raised, getting ready to raise

1308
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: everybody in the city since anty's taxes.

1309
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 2: And they have the youngest guy on counsel who just

1310
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 2: got there do it. It's like nobody knew who Ryan

1311
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 2: James was. He is a guy from Columbus who just

1312
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 2: came down here for college. All of a sudden he's

1313
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 2: helping them run our government. And he's bringing these liberal

1314
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:46,480
Speaker 2: pousies from Columbus about passing out taxpayer money to non citizens.

1315
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:51,440
Speaker 2: I know, citizens Cincinnatis, you know who need legal representation

1316
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,839
Speaker 2: for all types of issues, just keeping their homes.

1317
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,759
Speaker 1: Where do I larns? Where do I get in line?

1318
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Where's the line for me to get my hand on

1319
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 1: some money?

1320
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 4: What's my free lawyer at right?

1321
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you all day long. That's why I struggle

1322
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: going to go back to the spending on a federal

1323
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: government level. We are just way way way beyond the pale.

1324
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 1: We're running the printing press to afford what we have

1325
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: promised to provide and failed to deliver on, I might interject,

1326
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,759
Speaker 1: and while they grow it even more.

1327
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: Period, we got pension liabilities too.

1328
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: Oh do we have pension liabilities, Lawrence. We just read

1329
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: about that the other day. Fat pension liabilities. And of

1330
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: course the mayor is endeavoring to write this ship that

1331
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: has been wrongly charted for the past several decades. Administration

1332
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: after administration after administration has failed in its promise to

1333
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: the folks that are intending to rely on the pension system.

1334
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 9: Huh.

1335
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: I mean I think John currently tried to fix it.

1336
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 2: He did, as you know, he get made a good attempt.

1337
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: But as we continue to get bigger government and we

1338
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 2: get more liberals down the city Hall to grow our government,

1339
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 2: of course, the liability is not going to fix itself

1340
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: because you keep hiring people and you keep running these depths.

1341
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 2: This is they'll pass now taxpayer money for illegals to

1342
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 2: get lawyers. I am like, where am I living by?

1343
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 2: I'm not a ciscinnati anymore. I must be on Mars.

1344
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: It's okay, Lawrence. You know why because they found it

1345
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 1: within the budget to build a solar panel farm, and

1346
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: they're going to build another one. So we got that

1347
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: going for us. So if you're not, we're going to

1348
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: be providing legal counsel to illegal immigrants. But we've got

1349
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: our solar farm and I'm sure it's really paying off,

1350
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: and I bet it generated a ton of electricity during

1351
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: this most recent snowstorm. I mean, I know that's unrelated

1352
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: to anything, but the City of Cincinnati spent your labor

1353
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: on a solar panel farm, as if the City of

1354
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati can impact global temperatures at all. I read that

1355
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:51,480
Speaker 1: analysis about that new technology and in removing carbon dioxide

1356
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 1: from the atmosphere, generally, if you engage in the literally

1357
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars that would to take to accomplish the

1358
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: goals that are proposed the this particular carbon capture program,

1359
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: I mean, the impact on the temperature wasn't even within

1360
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 1: the margin of error, And who knows what the temper

1361
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: is going to be like next week, let alone hundred

1362
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: years from now. City of Cincinnati is actively engaged in

1363
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,679
Speaker 1: trying to control the globe's climate. Well, there's a prudent

1364
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 1: use of our taxpayer dollars does that make any sense

1365
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: to anybody? Jay, Welcome to the program. Happy Friday Eve

1366
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 1: to you. Thanks for calling. Hey Brian, how are you

1367
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: a little little riled up this morning?

1368
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 5: Jay?

1369
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to be positive criticizing everybody's bad attitude,

1370
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: and I'm projecting a bad attitude this morning, but sort

1371
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: of a comical light. This is all out of my control.

1372
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: It is not going to impact my day or my

1373
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: overall attitude, which is generally trying to be positive, because well,

1374
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm viewing life as heaven, at least my option to

1375
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: treat it that way. Go ahead, Jay, I'm sorry.

1376
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm hoping I can light a few people up

1377
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 13: so they can make phone calls out of the city.

1378
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 13: Hard not that'll do any good. But I wanted to

1379
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 13: share with you and article that was written in the

1380
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 13: Wilamote Week. It's a local underground paper in Portland where

1381
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 13: I used to live.

1382
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 5: It was all about.

1383
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 13: How they looked at one illegal family and how they

1384
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,599
Speaker 13: fleece the system. And I know this goes.

1385
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 5: On over and over again.

1386
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 13: So if you're illegally here in the country, you steal

1387
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 13: somebody's SO security number, that's not a victim ofst crime.

1388
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 13: You get into a lot of tax implications when that happens.

1389
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 13: But let's take this illegal alien that's stolen a Social

1390
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 13: Security number. He goes and gets a job, and he

1391
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,640
Speaker 13: claims eight dependents, so he's virtually no taxes taken out

1392
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 13: of his paycheck. His wife claims that she's unmarried and

1393
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 13: has eight kids. She gets every imaginable welfare benefit you

1394
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 13: can think of. That he's making fourteen, fifteen, sixteen dollars

1395
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 13: an hour at his job, and they're collecting all these

1396
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 13: government benefits and not paying any taxes. Think about, we're

1397
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 13: throwing money to help these people who are absolutely posit

1398
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 13: positively screwing us with the way that they do this.

1399
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 13: And it happens over and over and over.

1400
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 6: I work.

1401
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 13: I can't explain a lot, but I work in an

1402
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 13: industry that sort of supports HSI, so I see these

1403
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 13: cases come through, and universally people think about illegal aliens

1404
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 13: without a criminal record, almost every one of them has

1405
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 13: a stolen Security number. If you're somebody that's had their

1406
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 13: taxes filed by an illegal alien, you're in a mess.

1407
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 13: It is a world of heart to deal with. So

1408
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 13: all these bleeding hearts out there that talk about these

1409
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 13: underprivileged illegal aliens. They are absolutely stealing from us in

1410
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 13: the fashion that I just explained, and they're harming people

1411
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 13: by using stolen identities and social Security numbers. So when

1412
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 13: you hear people like I have tab whining about having

1413
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 13: to defend these people, he's defending flat out criminals. And

1414
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,839
Speaker 13: I don't think people realize the extent of the damage

1415
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 13: that these guys do when when they run this scam.

1416
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: One city in the Great United States, Minneapolis, already they

1417
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: started nine billion dollars, and some are projecting that maybe

1418
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: the fraud and abuse in the leering centers and other

1419
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,799
Speaker 1: programs like that could reach its highest thirty billion dollars.

1420
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 1: Now that may be a sphincter inspired figure, but it's

1421
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: at minimum of this juncture nine billion dollars. So well,

1422
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: I won't pay with the broad brush and say every

1423
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: single one of the illegal immigrants is stealing from us.

1424
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,600
Speaker 1: The broader challenges why don't we look at who's defending

1425
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: the status quo, who fought against the idea that an

1426
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: able bodied individual with no children of working age should

1427
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: not be compelled to at least endeavor to get an education.

1428
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 1: Twenty hours is all we're asking for so you can

1429
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: get your snap benefits of your other social welfare benefits.

1430
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: We're trying to engage you in the system. We're trying

1431
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: to keep you off of the umbilical court of government,

1432
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: which is always and in always, every single program that

1433
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: seeks to help the poor, disenfranchise whatever, it's always supposed

1434
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: to be in set up as if it's a temporary

1435
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: program to give them a leg up to get over

1436
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: this temporary problem. Welfare has become generational. And who seeks

1437
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: to prevent any reform. I don't see any Republicans stepping

1438
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 1: up and saying, oh, no, no, no, we don't want

1439
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: to work requirement. That will be stupid. That able body

1440
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: person should be able to lay around and collect social

1441
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: welfare benefits. They don't need to lift a finger. Can

1442
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,600
Speaker 1: they be educated? Absolutely, they're able bodied, they're capable of

1443
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: performing tasks or tape, capable of going to work every day.

1444
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 1: They're capable of getting a photo ID and going over

1445
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: to get their welfare benefit. Who stands in the way

1446
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: of that right? Ask yourself why seventeen fifty five krc

01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: Who is first? Bill, Dave? Hang on your next Bill,

1454
01:19:58,240 --> 01:19:59,679
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling.

1455
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, No, Damas made some very stunning and

1456
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 9: dramatic predictions about the future, and a lot of them

1457
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 9: came true. But no, sir, Damas didn't have anything on

1458
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:17,720
Speaker 9: Rod Serling. The world has gotten very strange. So if

1459
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 9: you were talking earlier about the people who don't appreciate

1460
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 9: this country and all that, and so who if the

1461
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 9: liberals and George Soros came to the United States, then

1462
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 9: they crush us. Who's going to protect them against China

1463
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 9: or Russia. Who's going to when they come after their fortunes.

1464
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: Well, some suggest that they have a cozy relationship with

1465
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: those those governments. Maybe they're hoping against hope, perhaps that

1466
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: they won't be touched by the programs that they're trying

1467
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: to shove down our throats. But obviously and quite clearly.

1468
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's like Margaret Thatcher said, the promise socialism

1469
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: as you run out of other people's money at some point,

1470
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 1: that's a pile of money that these various governments may

1471
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: very well go after. You know, they're as much is

1472
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 1: at risk as anybody else. I'm all in favor of them,

1473
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: letting them keep their money and spending on what they want.

1474
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: But you know I feel the same way about my

1475
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 1: money and your money. This presumption that it is ethical

1476
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:22,799
Speaker 1: and moral and right just to take that is the

1477
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: building block of socialism. And yeah, you can make a

1478
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: good argument, well, we need road bridges and infrastructure to

1479
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: get a function in economy so we can make money. Sure,

1480
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: we'll make that argument. But those are things that provide us,

1481
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, the grease to allow us to go about

1482
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: our freedom loving or income earning lives. But the minute

1483
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: you start taking something in the name of it's not fair,

1484
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: then you've entered into another realm. And that is and

1485
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: that's just what it bothers me so much from my

1486
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: little libertarian perspective of life, that the presumption is already

1487
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: baked into the cake that it is right and noble

1488
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: and proper to take someone else's stuff and things fill

1489
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: in the blank for whatever particular program or policy you

1490
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: run a support with it. I think we're a bit

1491
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: over extended in doing that, as it illustrated by our

1492
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: national debt, which trajectory is terrible in getting worse and

1493
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: worse every single moment in time, illustrated in local governments.

1494
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: Look at New York City struggles. They're billions of dollars

1495
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: in the hole. They're trying to figure out ways to

1496
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,799
Speaker 1: plug that budget hole. More taxes from those evil rich people,

1497
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: and they're thrown into towel on that one. It just

1498
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: doesn't work. When the hell will the rest of the

1499
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: world wake up to that reality? Look at history. It

1500
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: demonstrates that this system does not work. It is going

1501
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: to fail and collapse because people are gonna shrug channeling.

1502
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: Iine ran seven twenty five right now, fifty five care

1503
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: see the talk station. Let's cure talk station. It's seven

1504
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: point thirty fifty five. Care and see the talk station.

1505
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: I am in the presence of a very inspiring man,

1506
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: and he's got a wife is also equally, if not

1507
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 1: more so inspiring. Keith Deskers in studio Keith and his

1508
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: beautiful wife Brook lost their child of pediatric brain cancers.

1509
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: Just and you know, I cannot imagine that the trauma

1510
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: and the devastation that someone might feel about that, that

1511
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: is a life altering thing for literally anybody. But who

1512
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: else turns that tragic situation into a multi million dollar

1513
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: campaign cure cancer. Keith and Brooke Desterers. They created the

1514
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Cure Starts. Now, Keith, welcome back to the show Man.

1515
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: It's so good to see you.

1516
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me.

1517
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: Looking forward to the gala coming up next to us.

1518
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 8: Yes, it's like a week out. This is earlier than

1519
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,759
Speaker 8: we've ever had it before. But we're celebrating that whole

1520
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 8: Marty Graw theme.

1521
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be fun.

1522
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 8: You know, if you're gonna have a gallon February, ay,

1523
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 8: you might as well do a Marty Graw theme while

01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 8: you're at it.

1525
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: Well, and what year is this for the Cure Starts?

1526
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 8: I think this is year nineteen, so next year is

1527
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 8: the really big year. But it's not an anniversary we

1528
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 8: really want to celebrate. I mean, you know a lot

1529
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 8: of people get excited about it, and we look at

1530
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 8: it and say, Okay, I wish it was cured by now.

1531
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: I know I know, I know, I know, and I

1532
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,519
Speaker 1: it was just sort of a weird you know, call

1533
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: it religious or you know, a divine intervention or crazy

1534
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: star alignment that I ended up, you know, just like

1535
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 1: embracing your charity. Uh so many years ago, and you've

1536
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,640
Speaker 1: asked me to help out. And I love doing a

1537
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: little facilitation at the at the at the event, the gala.

1538
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: It's so much fun in the event is I can't

1539
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 1: imagine a better charity event. It's just people are excited

1540
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: about it. There's so many wonderful sponsors. We were the

1541
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: winner of the gorgeous that Guggenheim family they donated their

1542
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 1: gorgeous outside of Jackson Hall. Back again, It's back again.

1543
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: He got in touch with me yesterday. He said, yeah,

1544
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: maybe you could say a word or two about it

1545
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: because we loved that. Yeah, it was awesome.

1546
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 8: Well and this time, I don't know if anybody has

1547
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 8: ever done a thing called scheduling it is okay, it's

1548
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 8: craziest sport I ever saw. I was out there, we

1549
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 8: vacationed out there once and we saw these the these

1550
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 8: horses that were towing people with a rope and they

1551
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 8: were on skis and they were going through obstacle course

1552
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 8: and I looked at that and I said, pulled the

1553
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 8: car over. We have got to figure out what this is.

1554
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 8: And I started talking with them. Uh, they're actually going

1555
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 8: to donate in combination with this, so it turns into

1556
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 8: kind of a winter wonderland and the Titons.

1557
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: Uh.

1558
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 8: So, not only it's a giant house.

1559
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

1560
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 8: And uh and then beyond you know, donated by the Gougainhems.

1561
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, you get ski

1562
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 8: passes to Jackson Hole, You get to be possibly in

1563
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 8: the skeedjuring beginning entry struggling.

1564
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: This is like in the neighborhood where someone would hook

1565
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 1: a rope up to a car and get on their skateboard.

1566
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 14: You know what.

1567
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 8: I am an avid water skier and I like snow skiing,

1568
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 8: so it's kind of like this is this is the

1569
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 8: best thing in the world right here.

1570
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: Then the icing on the cake not just all that

1571
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: that beautiful home and the views from there, but the

1572
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: fact that you're so close to Yellowstone Park. Oh yeah,

1573
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: first time I'd ever been there was when we got

1574
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: that that we won. We were the high bidders. Us

1575
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: in the group were the high bidders on that house.

1576
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: We got to go to Yellowstone. That was amazing.

1577
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 8: Did you get to go during the winter at all

1578
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 8: or not?

1579
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: No, it was a June. I think you're there in June.

1580
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, winter is Winter's a special time, and that's what

1581
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 8: this one says. No, no, no, no, you go snowmobiling

1582
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 8: in Yellowstone. So you you go all the way through there.

1583
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 8: I've done it once. It was a remarkable experience.

1584
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 4: Cold.

1585
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 8: I mean you get off the plane and it was

1586
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 8: negative twenty.

1587
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: But that's cool.

1588
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is, it is. It's a whole new definition

1589
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 8: of it, but it is. It is probably my top

1590
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 8: trip I've ever done in my life.

1591
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I imagine, and it snowmobiling. Now, I was

1592
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 1: there at the wrong time of the year to top

1593
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: particul of that. But if if you're at the Cure

1594
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 1: starts now Galla, Yes, the Guggenheims have that house or

1595
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: for you to bid on, and if you win, trust me,

1596
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: you are going to be happy.

1597
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 8: And if some or is your sport instead, we have

1598
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 8: the Jimmy Buffett Margueritaville has donated a house down there,

1599
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 8: so you have I think it's like a week for

1600
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 8: like eight people or something.

1601
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:10,759
Speaker 1: Oh cool.

1602
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 8: Absolutely, and you.

1603
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 1: Get a bunch of people together like we did for

1604
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: the Bourbon Raffle last year, you know, and we start

1605
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: in a bidding more and when they found out how

1606
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: much money we all spent on that, they treated us

1607
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 1: like royalty at the Castle Key bourbon distilled drink. We

1608
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: just we had a great time anyway. That's what makes

1609
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: the event so wonderful. So many people have stepped up.

1610
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 1: They've got the silent auctions, they've got the live auctions,

1611
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: and of course.

1612
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 8: I think we have like four hundred silent auctions. And

1613
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 8: I think actually maybe today here tomorrow, I think we

1614
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 8: may be selling out. I think I think last time

1615
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 8: I saw, I think there was like maybe ten fifteen

1616
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 8: tickets left for the gallet itself, for the galley. Yeah,

1617
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 8: and that's so.

1618
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: You've got about a thousand people are going to show up.

1619
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 8: We did not expect that in February one. We kind

1620
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 8: of expected maybe we'll have a few extra tickets, you know,

01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: yet on the show this morning, but you've done this before, Keith.

1642
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,679
Speaker 1: The ultimate Bourbon raffle, the fifty bucks a ticket that's

1643
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: the Kentucky King of Kentucky. Three bottles set. Yeah, there's

1644
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 1: there's that's a big expensive one and fifty retail.

1645
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 8: Each one of these would stand alone as a raffle.

1646
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 8: And the party source, which is the part put this

1647
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 8: thing on, came to us and said, you know, we're

1648
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 8: gonna definitely do the Pappy Suite with you like we've

1649
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 8: always done with it, but would you be interested in

1650
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 8: trying some additional things? And we figured maybe just one,

1651
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 8: you know, two? No, no, no, there's three of them.

1652
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,640
Speaker 8: They wanted to have two additional baskets for bourbon, and

1653
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 8: then they wanted to have a whiskey Scotch or Scotch

1654
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 8: whiskey one and then a tequila one, which I mean,

1655
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 8: these alone are their own raffles, but you know it

1656
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 8: all gets tied together. You can buy four different groupings effectively,

1657
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,000
Speaker 8: but it's just a I think it's like twenty seven

1658
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 8: thousand dollars totally. I know that the parties of of

1659
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 8: you know the market value if you would now.

1660
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: I do, like Akuila, I was telling you my kind

1661
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: of default drink has lately been a patron silver tequila,

1662
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:07,719
Speaker 1: and I have it in a glass with a wedge

1663
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 1: of orange. Squeeze it and I guess it. I just

1664
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 1: love it. Go ahead, do what you want.

1665
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:15,479
Speaker 8: No, no, no, of warmer temperatures, it does, I mean it does.

1666
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 1: They see the alcohol, the tequila metabolizes different in your

1667
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,600
Speaker 1: body than regular alcohol. Anyway, maybe I'm just looking for

1668
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,799
Speaker 1: a reason to drink it. But three bottle tequila selection

1669
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,559
Speaker 1: only thirty bucks a ticket. Three bottles has a market

1670
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: price of three thousand and five hundred dollars more al

1671
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:34,560
Speaker 1: might I didn't realize they made tequila that expensive.

1672
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 4: You know what.

1673
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 8: These bottles are giant. I had to build a new

1674
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 8: display case for them for this year. So it's just

1675
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 8: it's it's it's it's unfathomable, it really is. And frankly,

1676
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 8: even the support from the party source and doing this

1677
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 8: thing every single year has been amazing, you know. And

1678
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 8: they are great people, exactly, exactly, John and his group

1679
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:54,520
Speaker 8: are just phenomenal.

1680
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 1: We think about this. Not only they donate the thousands

1681
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 1: of dollars in bourbon. They you if they could give

1682
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 1: you Scotch and tequila separately as gifts. So they're just

1683
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 1: fantastic And a shout out to the Greater Family as well.

1684
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Without them, well yeah, well now we've gotten off the ground.

1685
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 8: The Galla wouldn't be here. And these are two separate events.

1686
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 8: I mean, this is a Kentucky bourbon raffle. It is

1687
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 8: I think it's in a week and a half is

1688
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,719
Speaker 8: when this gets given away. I mean the gala next

1689
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 8: week is by graters and these are people that have

1690
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 8: been with us from the start, I mean, and just

1691
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 8: supportive as all get up. And that's that's what we

1692
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 8: need because this is a big battle and it's a

1693
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 8: lot of funning we had to put towards cancer research

1694
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 8: and maybe people get an opportunity to have a drink,

1695
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:43,560
Speaker 8: enjoy life and help us secure and cancer.

1696
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 1: Kind of on a role on this enjoy life.

1697
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:45,680
Speaker 4: I know.

1698
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 8: I was like, I was listening.

1699
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, I really do, Keith. It's just so

1700
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,800
Speaker 1: important that people put a smile on their face again.

1701
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:56,599
Speaker 1: You know, amid tragedy, you deal with the most tragic

1702
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 1: thing that anybody can possibly imagine, and then out of

1703
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,760
Speaker 1: that come how many millions of dollars have you got

1704
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: put together over the years with these efforts.

1705
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,600
Speaker 8: We've put together about over forty three million dollars that

1706
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 8: we have spent on cancer research and support in twenty

1707
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 8: nine countries through nearly two hundred projects over the years.

1708
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: And it all started out with Elaine and blueberry pie

1709
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:21,640
Speaker 1: ice cream twenty years ago.

1710
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 8: It started out with ice cream. It started out with

1711
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,759
Speaker 8: my daughter drawing a heart, started with you eating ice

1712
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:30,680
Speaker 8: cream on air when I wasn't even talking to you,

1713
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 8: didn't even know you. You know, and and and and

1714
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:38,679
Speaker 8: all these things just kind of come together, and it's

1715
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 8: just there. There aren't any coincidences. This is something that

1716
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 8: has come together, and Cincinnati has really become the hub

1717
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 8: of cancer research for the world, the world.

1718
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 1: That to me is what's and you know what, it's

1719
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,879
Speaker 1: not just that you have spent forty three million dollars

1720
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 1: donated by all these wonderful folks who participate in these

1721
01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 1: events over the years, but that your research and the

1722
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:02,599
Speaker 1: money that you spent has actually borne fruit.

1723
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1724
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 8: I mean, we talk a lot about hope for the

1725
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 8: first five seven years. We don't have to talk about

1726
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 8: hope anymore because we can actually talk about promises. We

1727
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 8: have some really, really amazing research that we ended up

1728
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 8: helping to build. I mean, it wasn't just we just

1729
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 8: waited for it to show up at our door. That's

1730
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 8: not how we work. We actually go out recruit and

1731
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,800
Speaker 8: build it and help develop new types of radiation that

1732
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 8: the world has never seen that are marked as one

1733
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:33,800
Speaker 8: of the top ten discoveries in physics. We've had partnerships

1734
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,799
Speaker 8: that we forged with great institutions like since My Children's

1735
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:41,480
Speaker 8: Hospital to try to deliver cutting edge treatments. We've overhauled

1736
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 8: how we collect data for cancer registries and right now

1737
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 8: we're inventing AI models to be able to identify those

1738
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 8: but also comb through other research to figure out what

1739
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 8: should be next.

1740
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 1: See. Conceptually speaking, if you mentioned artificial intelligence, my immediate

1741
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: defallow is to think, you know, like danger will Robinson,

1742
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,560
Speaker 1: I just I find all these bad things associated with it.

1743
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 1: But the one area that you know is going to

1744
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 1: benefit from AI is medical generally speaking, you know, looking

1745
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 1: at X rays, looking at MRIs and cts, looking at

1746
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:17,960
Speaker 1: all of the data. It can read everything. Think about,

1747
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 1: like instantaneously, how many articles are there about cancer research,

1748
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 1: peer reviewed or whatever, Grab them all, stuff them through

1749
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 1: AI and have a churn.

1750
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 8: Out well, and that's exactly what we started back in

1751
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 8: twenty eleven. We said, you know what, no one is

1752
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 8: collecting progressive MRIs of pediatric brain cancers. No one was

1753
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 8: and no one was collecting entire like familial history or

1754
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 8: anything like that. It didn't exist in any cancer registry.

1755
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 8: Still today there's a lot of them that don't and

1756
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 8: so we started the effort of building that and we

1757
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 8: got it to I think about one hundred and eighty

1758
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 8: nine hospitals or one hundred and eighty hospitals something like

1759
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 8: that worldwide. And now we have one of the biggest

1760
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 8: samples out there, and that's what we're using AI for

1761
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 8: is what can we do to predict how it grows

1762
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:04,800
Speaker 8: and where it.

1763
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 1: Grows and the goal the home run cure. So everybody

1764
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: out there, we all agree cancer sucks. Maybe it'll bear

1765
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: fruit in the sense of this discovery what they're working

1766
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:17,719
Speaker 1: on will ultimately translate to a cure for cancer. Across

1767
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 1: the board. We'll get a little bit more from Keith Thstrich.

1768
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:26,639
Speaker 1: I am busily filling in my ticket purchase right it's

1769
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 1: seven fifty two to fifty five KRC detalk station. Little

1770
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 1: theme song. Considering there's now a tequila raffle along with

1771
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,200
Speaker 1: the Scotch raffle, and of course the multiple bourbon raffles.

1772
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: It's the Cure starts now drink to Cure cancer, And

1773
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of a better charity to down any

1774
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 1: money too. And then the Cure starts now Keith Thsterrits

1775
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 1: and studio to talk about that. So how many can

1776
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: I ask? How many total tickets there are out there

1777
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 1: in the world for any one of these? I mean,

1778
01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to reveal any secrets or anything, you know.

1779
01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 8: I know Pappy has been very, very popular because my

1780
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 8: mailbox it's filled up every single But I don't, honestly

1781
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 8: don't know the numbers on that one. I know that

1782
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,160
Speaker 8: Scotch Tequila those are a little bit less. So those

1783
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,599
Speaker 8: are ones that you know, we hope that folks will

1784
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 8: participate in as well. But no, I don't. I'm not

1785
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 8: familiar with the exact numbers.

1786
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: All right, that's fine. I'm just in the processes. I

1787
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 1: already bought my Scotch tickets. I got four of those

1788
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 1: over break, and I'm getting ready to buy four the

1789
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 1: Tequila tickets.

1790
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,559
Speaker 8: See I was advertising by bringing it down here.

1791
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,760
Speaker 1: Well you know damn well that I'm in. I am

1792
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: in every year, and you know you're probably gonna end

1793
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 1: up having me buy the Guggenheims place again this year.

1794
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:38,800
Speaker 1: We'll get involved, like, oh, that was so much fun.

1795
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: We got a bit on that.

1796
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 8: I want to picture you scheduling.

1797
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, you know what, if we do end up

1798
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 1: getting it, and I'm not saying we're going to Peter Guggenheim,

1799
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: but if we do, maybe I will consider doing it

1800
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 1: in the winter months so I can get involved in

1801
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: the whole rope pull ski thing. Oh yeah, this is

1802
01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 1: and I have a feeling I could stand. I could

1803
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 1: manage that. I skied one time in my life. It

1804
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,160
Speaker 1: was perfect norse it with a total sheet of ice.

1805
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: One of the first dates I went on with my wife,

1806
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 1: who used to own her own skis and boots. She

1807
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: skied that as much enough to justify that purchase. Never

1808
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 1: skied since neither of us.

1809
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 8: It's a good time to try it.

1810
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:20,599
Speaker 1: This is our thirty fourth year of engagement, thirty fourth

1811
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:22,640
Speaker 1: year of marriage in June, and we've been together for

1812
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 1: I think thirty seven years, so say thirty seven years,

1813
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: soin so I need to know that I put skis on.

1814
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,719
Speaker 1: So anyway, it sounds like a good time. But fifty

1815
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: five carosee dot com is a place. Please get a

1816
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 1: ticket or two or five and help cure cancer. Finite

1817
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 1: number of tickets out there. Obviously, the payoff is going

1818
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:42,599
Speaker 1: to be fantastic. Whether you drink it or go ahead

1819
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:44,360
Speaker 1: and sell it to your friend who is an insane

1820
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: bourbon fan, you are doing right. We're going to make

1821
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 1: ourselves a whole lot of money. We're going to cure

1822
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:51,599
Speaker 1: cancer this year. There's not going to be another year

1823
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 1: for cure starts now. We don't need it.

1824
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 8: I yeah, that's that's the whole thing. We want to

1825
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 8: We want to close this down. We want to be

1826
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 8: done with it. You know, this is and it's also

1827
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 8: important to know that this is not just even about

1828
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:05,759
Speaker 8: pediatric brain cancer or you know, one person's type of cancer.

1829
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 8: That what we represent is we represent that home run cure,

1830
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 8: the idea that there are certain types of cancers that

1831
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 8: we can learn the most from and if we can

1832
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 8: cure those, it's going to change how we fight every

1833
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:19,919
Speaker 8: type of cancer. And you know that's not new, including lymphoma.

1834
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 8: Well yeah, I mean, and ironically, you know, the previous

1835
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 8: home run cancer was leukemia back in the fifties, and

1836
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 8: that that was where we really pioneered chemotherapy. But since then,

1837
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 8: we haven't invented anything new.

1838
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 1: We haven't.

1839
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 8: It's been chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and emiotherapy, but we haven't

1840
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 8: created anything new. And that's eight years, you know. And

1841
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 8: and we've only been fighting cancer, you dedicated for about

1842
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,759
Speaker 8: one hundred and seventy years, so half of our history

1843
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,639
Speaker 8: we've been doing it wrong. And that is exactly what

1844
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 8: the Cure Starts Now is about. Is we are focused

1845
01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 8: on those cancers we can learn the most from, so

1846
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 8: we can invent a fifth way to fight cancer and

1847
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 8: ultimately beat it.

1848
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: Help Keith and everything involved with the cure do just that.

1849
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,080

1851
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 1: I just did it, folks. I hope you can stick

1852
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 1: around coming up off top of our news Cincinnati's immigration

1853

Speaker 1: KRC Decalk station. Happy Friday Eve, of course it being

1855
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: Friday Eve. I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattleft at

1856
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour. Love my conversations with Jay,

1857
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 1: and I hope you feel the same way. In the meantime, though,

1858
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm so pleased. Welcome back to the fifty five carsc

1859
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Feel like it's been too long from the

1860
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,720
Speaker 1: CINCINNTI Inquirer. We're actually doing local reporting. You'll find the

1861
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: on line at Cincinnati dot com. Scott Whartman, Welcome back

1862
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,200
Speaker 1: to the morning show. It's great having you on this morning.

1863
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 4: Great to be here, Thanks for having me.

1864
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 1: Good morning well and thank you for bringing it to

1865
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,600
Speaker 1: our attention. What's going on Sinceinny City Council. You know,

1866
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 1: we don't get a lot of information out of him.

1867
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 1: Quite often they're not really willing to comment on any

1868
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 1: given topic. Any give a call to the baftabs office

1869
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,839
Speaker 1: and calls are not returned immediately. I see that regularly

1870
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 1: mentioned in your article on Cincinnati reporting. But the other

1871
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 1: day there were a couple of a lot of messages

1872
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 1: I bet you have. Can I ask you just introject

1873
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,760
Speaker 1: real quickly? Does it? Does it? Do you get frustrated

1874
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 1: by that? I mean that seems to me if just

1875
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 1: from my observations, and you're involved directly with reaching out

1876
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: to council people and the mayor's office and the city

1877
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: manager's office, does it frustrate you to get the no

1878
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: comment or no call return response a lot.

1879
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 4: I mean one of the things with reporting actually, because

1880
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 4: a lot of my reporting is based on public records

1881
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 4: and also talking to like residents. It's up to anyone

1882
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 4: that wants to talk to us or doesn't want to

1883
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 4: talk to talk to me. I mean, the story is

1884
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 4: going to happen either way. So it's it. It never

1885
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 4: really kills us. It's never killed a story by someone

1886
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 4: not talking to me. So I mean honestly, well, I

1887
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 4: mean I think public officials should talk, yeah, and should,

1888
01:40:55,080 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 4: but it is is that the Scott.

1889
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 1: That becomes a subtle point that you're making in the article.

1890
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 1: It is important for them to talk to us. It

1891
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: is important for them to explain what the hell they're

1892
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 1: doing and what motivates them that they don't and that

1893
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 1: you gave them an opportunity they passed on. It I

1894
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: think is a story in and of itself. Scott, Yeah,

1895
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: I mean that's fair enough. All right, Now let's move

1896
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 1: over to these resolutions. Councilman Ryan James, I guess the

1897
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: newest member, along with I believe Anna Albie were behind

1898
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 1: I think to a certain degree, Mark Jefferies as well.

1899
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 1: Two separate proposals to deal with immigrants, immigrants facing deportation,

1900
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:41,040
Speaker 1: which you know my listening audience would probably suggest illegal immigrants.

1901
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: If they face deportation, then there's no there's not a

1902
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 1: lawful basis for them being here. But I guess since

1903
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 1: you just mentioned you talk to residents, that will be

1904
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 1: I suppose members of the residents of the various fifty

1905
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: two communities. I thought we didn't have any money. I

1906
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: thought they were trying to close a budget hole. And

1907
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 1: in times when they're closing a budget hole, they need

1908
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 1: to either cut or they need to find other sources

1909
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:05,799
Speaker 1: of revenue. They are talking about increasing the income tax downtown.

1910
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:08,720
Speaker 1: Don't think that's a good marketing tool for getting people in.

1911
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 1: But if they need to raise income taxes in order

1912
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 1: to plug the hole for what they're promising already, is

1913
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 1: it even appropriate to start discussing about expanding and providing resources,

1914
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: money and otherwise legal fees as well for immigrants. What

1915
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 1: are the people in the fifty two communities, the residents

1916
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: say about something like that.

1917
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 4: Well, I have not on this issue, specifically, on the

1918
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 4: immigration proposals, I've not had it because they were just

1919
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 4: introduced this week. I have not had a chance to

1920
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 4: do any comprehensive polling on that the city council has

1921
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 4: had residents come to them wanting them to do something,

1922
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 4: take some action against ICE enforcement, And this is kind

1923
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 4: of a response to the concerns that they've heard in

1924
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 4: council meetings.

1925
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: All right, Well, of course, city sources are not obligated

1926
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 1: to and there's no obligation for anybody in the city

1927
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:08,280
Speaker 1: government or even law enforcement to assist ICE in its

1928
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement efforts. I get that. But then there's

1929
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 1: resisting ICE and also helping people avoid ICE, which seems

1930
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: to be a big, maybe a broader problem. But in

1931
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:22,040
Speaker 1: a budget situation where there's very limited resources and not

1932
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 1: a lot of flexibility, I mean, I'm just looking at

1933
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 1: the idea of providing free legal assistance. So one of

1934
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 1: the motions that actually passed, I think it was unanimously.

1935
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: You reported on it, the Access to Council group. They

1936
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 1: apparently have allocated two hundred and ten thousand dollars to

1937
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 1: go to this group, which is described as providing free

1938
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:42,680
Speaker 1: legal representation for those facing eviction. If this group is

1939
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: providing free legal representation, as a lawyer, I kind of

1940
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 1: read that as pro bono pro bono means there's no

1941
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: billable hours. So why would any money need to be

1942
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:52,720
Speaker 1: allocated to a group that's providing free legal assistance in

1943
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 1: the first instance.

1944
01:43:54,920 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 4: And that group is my understanding, that's going towards like tenants,

1945
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 4: that's not that one's not immigration. There's the one that's immigration.

1946
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,719
Speaker 4: It's two hundred and ten thousand. That's to the Immigrant

1947
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 4: and Law Refugee Center. They didn't return my calls the center.

1948
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 4: They said they don't do media interviews, but the part

1949
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:21,400
Speaker 4: of that will go towards because they do represent people

1950
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 4: facing deportation. Part of it will go to that, some

1951
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 4: of it will go to some assistance to their families

1952
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:32,680
Speaker 4: and families in the immigrant community. I mean, it's a

1953
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 4: valid question on where city should be, where the city

1954
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,360
Speaker 4: should be spending the money. My understanding is this is

1955
01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 4: part of money that wasn't spent last year. It's this

1956
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 4: carryover budget, which is a technical and it's won game.

1957
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 4: It's still city money. But right now they're hashing out

1958
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:54,000
Speaker 4: what to do with this money that wasn't spent last year.

1959
01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 4: And this is based on what they had heard from

1960
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:01,640
Speaker 4: residents and community like we need you to take a

1961
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 4: stand against ice. This this has been their response to it.

1962
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:08,600
Speaker 1: Well, it makes me kind of question the percentage of

1963
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:11,160
Speaker 1: people in the community that actually view this as a priority.

1964
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 1: Why not just leave the money in the general fund

1965
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 1: to help address the outstanding budget deficit we're dealing with.

1966
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:18,760
Speaker 1: That's the logical response from Brian Thomas. But is this

1967
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 1: really an issue that people are clamoring for or is

1968
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: it just the squeaky wheels out there representing a small

1969
01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: slice of the population of the city that are demanding

1970
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: this and they're just in the face of everyone making

1971
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 1: it making the council people perceive this to be a

1972
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 1: huge demand. I guess I struggle to find where this

1973
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 1: actual demand is coming from.

1974
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:44,320
Speaker 4: Well, that is the always the big trick, big question

1975
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 4: that you know, even I mean I struggle with when

1976
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:50,600
Speaker 4: I write these stories because what you hear online, what

1977
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 4: you see at council meetings could be different than what

1978
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 4: you go you know, what you hear door the door.

1979
01:45:56,640 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 4: I will say, when I was talking the voters coming

1980
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 4: out of the polls in Cincinnati for the city council

1981
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 4: and the mayoral race, everyone I talked to I may

1982
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,640
Speaker 4: be talked to maybe twenty some voters the day of

1983
01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 4: all cited their displeasure at the Trump administration is why

1984
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 4: they voted Democrats. So it does seem like these national issues,

1985
01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:29,599
Speaker 4: particularly in the city, are driving a lot of voters.

1986
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's a said commentary on the city.

1987
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: They have so much on their plate as it relates

1988
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 1: to actual matters over which they have control, and yet

1989
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 1: you know, we find them building solar farms because they

1990
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 1: think the City of Cincinnati's a mission is somehow going

1991
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 1: to impact the global emissions and we know that to

1992
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:49,600
Speaker 1: be just impossible. So fair to allocate resources properly, I

1993
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:53,520
Speaker 1: think is an ongoing problem. That's again from the subjective

1994
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: opinion of Brian Thomas. Did you see Todd Zinzer's report

1995
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,320
Speaker 1: on the railroad money and how they're just stuffing the

1996
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 1: railroad money into a general fund to earn interest that's

1997
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: going into the general fund, which suggests maybe they're going

1998
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: to use that much, Yeah, for things that aren't related

1999
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 1: to existing infrastructure. Scott Wortman, I.

2000
01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 4: Have I haven't had a chance to look into that yet.

2001
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it's by understanding they cannot do that. It

2002
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 4: has to go to existing infrastructure. I do know they're

2003
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 4: having trouble right now spending all that money coming in

2004
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 4: faster than they can get it out the door. I

2005
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 4: have not seen any concrete proposal to use it for

2006
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 4: anything other than you know, what it was intended for.

2007
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 4: If that does happen, I mean, that's going to create

2008
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:42,600
Speaker 4: a huge political fight. Yeah, because it was clear in

2009
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 4: the legislation it can only be used for roads or

2010
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 4: like existing like buildings like you know, rec centers, whatever.

2011
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 4: They can't use it to build like new things like

2012
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 4: an arena or anything like that.

2013
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:57,320
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's the way it was supposed to. But

2014
01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:00,040
Speaker 1: I think everyone, including me, was raising concerns early on

2015
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: that they're going to play fast and loose with what

2016
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:06,599
Speaker 1: existing infrastructure means. But once you've removed it the money

2017
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,120
Speaker 1: from the control of the board, the Railroad Board, which

2018
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:12,439
Speaker 1: makes these allocations, it then lands in the lap of council.

2019
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: As Zin's are reported, you know, they've only spent like

2020
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,360
Speaker 1: a small percentage of the actual money they've got. The

2021
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: rest of the multiple millions of dollars are sitting in

2022
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 1: this account. And wait a second, we've got four to

2023
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars in behind infrastructure needs, roads and

2024
01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:32,679
Speaker 1: bridges and existing infrastructure. All these projects are so far behind,

2025
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:35,519
Speaker 1: and they keep getting further and further behind. Isn't that

2026
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 1: right there in and of itself what the money's designed for?

2027
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:40,919
Speaker 1: And why aren't they pushing harder to get those existing

2028
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 1: projects done? They already know they exist.

2029
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 4: Scott, Yeah, Well, from what everyone's told me when I've

2030
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 4: talked to them about the railroad fence being council members,

2031
01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 4: they want to use for existing infrastructure. So I mean,

2032
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 4: I haven't had again a chance to verify whether it's

2033
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 4: going to be used for something else. I've not, you know,

2034
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:06,680
Speaker 4: independent heard that. But if it isn't used for what

2035
01:49:06,800 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 4: was intended, I would imagine there would be some legal

2036
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 4: challenges for that. So there are plenty of people in

2037
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 4: the community that would be willing to file something to

2038
01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 4: raise an objection to that.

2039
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 1: Scott Warton from the since Ana Enquirer something tells me

2040
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: and are just chuckling about that they've already drafted the complaint.

2041
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 1: It's just waiting for the moment to file it properly.

2042
01:49:25,040 --> 01:49:27,439
Speaker 1: And let me just pivot over real quick. You probably

2043
01:49:27,439 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 1: are familiar with the person known as Signal ninety nine

2044
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:33,960
Speaker 1: and her reporting on things relating to crime in downtown

2045
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:35,880
Speaker 1: since saying she's going to be on my program tomorrow,

2046
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:38,680
Speaker 1: but she just reported yesterday that they have created a

2047
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 1: new violence reduction manager in the city. Manager Sherry Long

2048
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 1: has promoted a woman named Kate Bell, who, by all

2049
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:48,679
Speaker 1: accounts at least FRO Signal niney nine reporting, has basically

2050
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 1: a communications degree and a graphic design degree. And she

2051
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:54,680
Speaker 1: is asking out loud, wait a second, there's no law

2052
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 1: enforcement background here. What in the hell is a violence

2053
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 1: reduction manager? Shouldn't have something to do with law enforcement

2054
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 1: by way of training? And was the job posted? Were

2055
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 1: their qualifications? Listen, there's so many swirling questions about this,

2056
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 1: but sure, here we go. Do you know anything about

2057
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:13,000
Speaker 1: Kate Bell or the violence reduction manager position? It was

2058
01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 1: just created?

2059
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that. I do know, and this predates

2060
01:50:18,920 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 4: my time covering the city beat. It has existed for

2061
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 4: at least the last two years. There were because when

2062
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 4: I saw that post, I looked into, you know, what's

2063
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 4: previously been reported on it. There have been at least

2064
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 4: two other violence reduction managers in the last like two

2065
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 4: or three years. So it's not an entirely new position evidently,

2066
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 4: but it's something I'll have to look into. I don't know,

2067
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 4: like exactly when that was created and what that persons

2068
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 4: supposed to do precisely.

2069
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we in the community are really hoping that

2070
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 1: you do that reporting because it's swirling mystery and there's

2071
01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:59,759
Speaker 1: obviously a whole lot of questions around this. And clearly

2072
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 1: we have a problem with violence in downtown Cincinnati, and

2073
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 1: I know they've been struggling to address it. What's the

2074
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: job role, what's the description? If this position has been

2075
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: around for a while, what did it accomplish? Previously? Great

2076
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 1: questions ask and thankfully we have Scott Wartman at least

2077
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:16,040
Speaker 1: to look into it. You can find Scott, and since

2078
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,960
Speaker 1: I inquire online at Cincinnati dot com, recommend you check

2079
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Speaker 1: them out. And Scott, I'm glad we've got you out there.

2080
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 1: I really I weep for the future of the world

2081
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:26,679
Speaker 1: where we don't have really good, you know, quality local reporting.

2082
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean local reporting is going the way of the

2083
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,040
Speaker 1: DODO in an Internet world. So keep up the work

2084
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 1: and keep asking the questions. We sure have the are

2085
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:35,919
Speaker 1: sure waiting for the answer. Scott.

2086
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 4: I really appreciate that, and I feel privileged to be

2087
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:40,799
Speaker 4: able to do this work.

2088
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 1: And you know, you always have a welcome spot here

2089
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 1: on the fifty five KRCREY Morning Show. Scott Wartman, Cincinnati

2090
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: dot Com, you have a wonderful week and thanks for

2091
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 1: your time with my listeners to that. I truly appreciate it,

2092
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 1: and I know they do as well. It's eight eighteen

2093
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:55,479
Speaker 1: right now, fifty five kr CD the talk station, Hey

2094
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty three or fifty five KRCD Talk station. I heard

2095
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 1: mediaviation expert Jay Rattle of coming up next having Jam

2096
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,639
Speaker 1: on the show. And here's the questions for Scott Wortman.

2097
01:52:03,720 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 1: The again, Signal ninety nine has just laid them all

2098
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 1: out for us. This violence reduction manager Kate Bell in

2099
01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 1: this position. According to the release from Signal ninety nine,

2100
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:15,519
Speaker 1: she's got a background as a graphic designer, performance in

2101
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:19,599
Speaker 1: data analytics office, human centered design leads, civil civic engine

2102
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: engagement manager. Now she's what they call a violence reduction

2103
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 1: manager with no legal back or no background in law enforcement,

2104
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,559
Speaker 1: at least as has has been reported. So here's your

2105
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 1: questions why this position. Was this position rather publicly posted?

2106
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:40,360
Speaker 1: Did you apply? I know Joe Strecker didn't. Was there

2107
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:44,839
Speaker 1: a competitive process? What were the minimum qualifications? Were criminal

2108
01:52:44,920 --> 01:52:48,800
Speaker 1: justice credentials required or not? Great question, there was the

2109
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 1: role reclassified, which Scott Wortman suggested, know that this position

2110
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:55,680
Speaker 1: has been around for a while. Who else applied? What

2111
01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:58,680
Speaker 1: is the salaryman who signed off on it? And, as

2112
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 1: Signal points out most importantly, this is where the rubber

2113
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 1: meets the road. What model of violence production is this

2114
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 1: administration actually pursuing. What's the job description, what is the

2115
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:12,439
Speaker 1: role of the violence production manager? And what does this

2116
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 1: Kate Bell person propose to do by way of reducing violence?

2117
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: You think of all the socioeconomic and societal realities that

2118
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 1: are balled up into some individual person's decision to go

2119
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:26,599
Speaker 1: out and commit a crime. I think it's a rather

2120
01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: complex topic. Graphics design degree will really come in handy, presumably,

2121
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 1: so good questions Signal ninety nine on the program tomorrow

2122
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 1: talking about that in all types of other topics, along

2123
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:40,120
Speaker 1: with of course Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and we're

2124
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:44,639
Speaker 1: giving Jack winsor yet another shot. That's tomorrow the fifty

2125
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:48,040
Speaker 1: five Cares in the morning, Joe Don't Go Away. Jay

01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:07,639
Speaker 1: like makes like seven hundred. He's a busy man throughout

2133
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: the week, and he gets some time here in the

2134
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 1: morning show. I hold him over for an entire half

2135
01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 1: hour because of love the stories we talk about, and

2136
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:18,280
Speaker 1: I find it very entertaining. Welcome back, my friend, Jay Ratliff.

2137
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:19,880
Speaker 1: It's good having you on as always.

2138
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 14: Oh, I protect our time brother. Let me tell you,

2139
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:26,080
Speaker 14: because Newsmax wanted me eight thirty to eight forty five,

2140
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 14: I said no, So we did eight fifteen eight thirty.

2141
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:31,600
Speaker 14: When Fox wants me from eight thirty till nine on

2142
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 14: a Thursday, I'm like, no, they don't even ask anymore

2143
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 14: because they know it's not going to happen.

2144
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:36,040
Speaker 1: You're the best.

2145
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:38,520
Speaker 14: No, I look forward to being here. We get we've

2146
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 14: got a great audience, a lot of well educated men

2147
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:43,840
Speaker 14: and women, and I love that. I get that through

2148
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:47,400
Speaker 14: the email changes. And you're great at educating people on

2149
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 14: things that you know. A lot of times hoster are

2150
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 14: are bad about talking down to their audience and I

2151
01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 14: kind of catch that. I just grimace because you never

2152
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:03,400
Speaker 14: want to know underestimate the people that you're blessed enough

2153
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 14: to be all their lives and you always talk up

2154
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:09,280
Speaker 14: And I love that because you know, that's the respect

2155
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 14: that you have for the people that allow us to

2156
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:14,440
Speaker 14: be a part of their lives. And it's not common,

2157
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 14: which is what makes this much time, for this time

2158
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:19,360
Speaker 14: of day for me so enjoyable.

2159
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that means the world. You say that. My

2160
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 1: wife often accuses me of giving people too much credit

2161
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 1: for intellect. My default mode is that everyone out there

2162
01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 1: is at least as smart as me, and in many cases,

2163
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:31,720
Speaker 1: and it's true on a lot of topics, people out

2164
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 1: my listening answer smarter than me.

2165
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:35,800
Speaker 14: Brian, If you and I walk into a room, I'm

2166
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 14: not the smartest guy in the room. So I'm just

2167
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 14: telling you, if it's just you and I there, I'm

2168
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 14: not winning that one.

2169
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Well, I'm still going to de fall to me just

2170
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:46,839
Speaker 1: assuming that I don't know anything, and I am searching

2171
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 1: the world for answers to the questions that I have.

2172
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:53,360
Speaker 1: So you are, let us talk about tailwind. Does it

2173
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:55,200
Speaker 1: really mean a lot to a tail win? I see

2174
01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 1: you have an article here about Jet Blue and got

2175
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 1: a strong tailwind, apparently to the passengers benefit.

2176
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:03,760
Speaker 14: What's this, Oh, yeah, this is a Blue flight five

2177
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 14: twenty four Los Angeles to JFK. They're zipping across and

2178
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:11,480
Speaker 14: they arrived in JFK early, thanks in part to a

2179
01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 14: two hundred mile an hour tailwind. I pushed that aircraft

2180
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 14: more than seven hundred and fifty five miles of mar

2181
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:23,640
Speaker 14: It was booking big time because when you looked at this,

2182
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 14: it was, yeah, seven hundred and fifty five miles an

2183
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 14: hour when it's typically Brian, that's that's what five hundred

2184
01:56:29,880 --> 01:56:31,760
Speaker 14: and fifty miles an hours what we're looking at as

2185
01:56:31,760 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 14: far as the average time. So there's really no danger

2186
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 14: to the aircraft those excessive speeds because the pressure on

2187
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 14: the aircraft itself remains pretty consistent. We do have a

2188
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 14: slight increased risk of some turbulence, but beyond that, it's nothing.

2189
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 14: The biggest concern is if there's an available gate for

2190
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:53,200
Speaker 14: the plane to land, you know, once it arrives to

2191
01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 14: get there, because look, nothing can mess up the works

2192
01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 14: more than a flight before it arrives a way beforehand.

2193
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:02,240
Speaker 14: But Brian, you know, I'm reading all these reports and

2194
01:57:02,320 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 14: just enjoying these these these articles I'm reading across the country,

2195
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 14: and of course I come across the Do you know

2196
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:13,360
Speaker 14: why there was a two hundred mile an hour tail wind?

2197
01:57:14,280 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 14: Not global warming? It was climate change, Ryan, That's why

2198
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:22,480
Speaker 14: we had this happen. And I thought, you know, look,

2199
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 14: you know, I'm in my early sixties. I remember goal

2200
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 14: global cooling in the seventies. We talked about acid rain

2201
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 14: in the eighties, and how the population boom was going

2202
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 14: to kill twenty five percent of the planet in the

2203
01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 14: eighties and nineties, And I just don't understand how many

2204
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:39,920
Speaker 14: times this stuff has to happen. But poor for poor

2205
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 14: people start questioning like like, wait a minute, can I

2206
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 14: really take what I'm being told at face value? But

2207
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 14: why mess up a good aviation story with climate change?

2208
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:51,160
Speaker 1: I know they love doing that, but wait a second.

2209
01:57:51,440 --> 01:57:53,680
Speaker 1: The speed of sound is writing about seven hundred and

2210
01:57:53,680 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 1: sixty one miles an hour. Does this mean that that

2211
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:58,840
Speaker 1: regular commercial airliner could have potentially broken the sound barrier?

2212
01:57:59,160 --> 01:57:59,520
Speaker 4: No?

2213
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 14: No, because in essence, their ground speed remained the same.

2214
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:05,280
Speaker 14: So we didn't have any worries about them breaking the

2215
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 14: sound barrier because as far as they were concerned, they

2216
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:11,000
Speaker 14: were still going at that same rate of speed, so

2217
01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 14: it can think of it as kind of a pocket

2218
01:58:13,520 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 14: that's moving with them, and within that pocket, they're still

2219
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:19,840
Speaker 14: maintaining that, you know, five hundred and fifty miles an hour.

2220
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 14: So yeah, that would have been a little bit of

2221
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 14: an issue if we had to be worrying about that,

2222
01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 14: but thankfully we do not. But there's a lot of

2223
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 14: times you have flights come in and brand that flight

2224
01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:31,440
Speaker 14: arrived thirty nine minutes early. It would have been much

2225
01:58:31,680 --> 01:58:33,960
Speaker 14: much sooner, but when they got there, they had to

2226
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,640
Speaker 14: circle for a while before they were allowed to finally

2227
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:40,160
Speaker 14: land at JFK, So they probably would have been an

2228
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 14: hour and five hour ten minutes early had they been

2229
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 14: able to land immediately when they got there. So passengers were,

2230
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,600
Speaker 14: you know, delighted in that because anytime you can catch

2231
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 14: that kind of a tailwind, yeah, it's going to help

2232
01:58:53,480 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 14: that connection that you have at JFK to be a

2233
01:58:56,200 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 14: whole lot easier.

2234
01:58:57,200 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, this is insane because I was

2235
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:02,480
Speaker 1: a parent of a toddler. I absolutely would not allow

2236
01:59:02,520 --> 01:59:05,280
Speaker 1: my toddler to sit anywhere but next to me on

2237
01:59:05,320 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 1: a plane. That may not be the case. You're working

2238
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:09,920
Speaker 1: with Southwest. I heard mediaviation expert J.

2239
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 7: Rat.

2240
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 1: Let's gonna explain that A whole lot more coming up.

2241
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:16,320
Speaker 1: Don't go away? Fifty five KRC the talk station. They're

2242
01:59:16,320 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 1: a scene the talk station. Have you ever been in

2243
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:20,200
Speaker 1: a cockpit before?

2244
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:21,200
Speaker 5: Jay?

2245
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:25,000
Speaker 1: Has I hurt me? The aviation expert J Rattlift Jay?

2246
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:30,520
Speaker 1: This one troubles me. Now, toddler's are bad enough in

2247
01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:31,920
Speaker 1: and of themselves, but if they're not going to be

2248
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,360
Speaker 1: sitting next to a parent on an airline, you know,

2249
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 1: amid stories about crazy people, I just saw another one.

2250
01:59:36,920 --> 01:59:38,760
Speaker 1: They had to reroute a flight because some guy had

2251
01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:42,320
Speaker 1: a mental health breakdown and started wailing on passengers. If

2252
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:45,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't bad enough, the idea that a toddler would

2253
01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:48,400
Speaker 1: I could even comfortably enjoy a flight being away from

2254
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,480
Speaker 1: mom and dad. I and the legal challenges that may

2255
01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 1: go along with this, I mean, what happens if you

2256
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:56,040
Speaker 1: have your toddler sitting next to somebody turns out to

2257
01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:58,560
Speaker 1: be a pervert, you know? I mean, oh yeah, yeah,

2258
01:59:58,560 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 1: what's this?

2259
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,640
Speaker 14: It's a story about mom and dad come to the

2260
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:06,120
Speaker 14: airport and they have traveling excuse me, they're traveling with

2261
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:10,280
Speaker 14: two toddlers and they elected on Southwest, which you now

2262
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 14: have assigned seats. They elected not to pay the fee

2263
02:00:14,440 --> 02:00:18,280
Speaker 14: to have all the seat assignments in advance. So what

2264
02:00:18,320 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 14: they opted to do in order to save money or

2265
02:00:20,800 --> 02:00:23,040
Speaker 14: because they did not know better to get to the

2266
02:00:23,080 --> 02:00:26,200
Speaker 14: airport and have Southwest to sign the seats. Now, the

2267
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 14: problem is when you get there and the flight is

2268
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:32,000
Speaker 14: ninety percent full, and the available seats would be there's

2269
02:00:32,040 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 14: two here, one there, one there, those kinds of things,

2270
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:38,440
Speaker 14: there's no for seats together. So what happens is when

2271
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 14: they get to the gate, the system, the computer for Southwest,

2272
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:46,320
Speaker 14: assigns those seats to the four people the best they can.

2273
02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 14: So what happened was the couple gets on, they demand

2274
02:00:50,280 --> 02:00:53,520
Speaker 14: people to move, and yet a group of people that said, absolutely,

2275
02:00:53,600 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 14: we want you sitting with your kids. And then you

2276
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:59,640
Speaker 14: had another segment of the traveling population on the airplane

2277
02:00:59,720 --> 02:01:03,560
Speaker 14: wait time out here. You could have paid the money

2278
02:01:03,560 --> 02:01:06,200
Speaker 14: to have all your seat assignments done before you got here,

2279
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,280
Speaker 14: you chose not to. And now you're asking us to

2280
02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:11,920
Speaker 14: move out of our window seats. So you considered them

2281
02:01:11,960 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 14: to be next to your child and I'm not doing it. So, uh,

2282
02:01:15,800 --> 02:01:18,560
Speaker 14: there's people that are against the new Southwest policy. So

2283
02:01:18,600 --> 02:01:21,480
Speaker 14: they're looking at this and trying to drum this story

2284
02:01:21,600 --> 02:01:23,640
Speaker 14: up and make it make it much bigger than it is,

2285
02:01:24,080 --> 02:01:27,840
Speaker 14: because they're saying, well, look what happens when Southwest tries

2286
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:30,320
Speaker 14: to assign seats. They don't know what they're doing, blah

2287
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:33,600
Speaker 14: blah blah. But either they did not know the parents

2288
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:36,040
Speaker 14: or they did know and figured, eh, they'll work it

2289
02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:38,840
Speaker 14: out when they get there, because there's no way they're

2290
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:40,879
Speaker 14: going to allow me to not sit with my toddler.

2291
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:44,160
Speaker 14: And sometimes when you presume upon the airline's goodness or

2292
02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:47,120
Speaker 14: people that are you're traveling with you is goodness, sometimes

2293
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 14: it's not going to work out for you. So, uh,

2294
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:52,120
Speaker 14: that's what happened here. And they could have all been

2295
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 14: avoided had they simply done what you should have done

2296
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 14: and grabbed the seat assignments, paid that extra money so

2297
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 14: that you know you're all seated next to each other.

2298
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Well, and that's a layer that I wasn't familiar with

2299
02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:04,880
Speaker 1: the story. So there is some blame to pass along

2300
02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:06,600
Speaker 1: to the parents for not doing exactly that.

2301
02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:09,560
Speaker 14: I mean as a society, Brian, you know that people

2302
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:12,720
Speaker 14: don't read past the headline, so when they see that

2303
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:15,240
Speaker 14: that's the gist of the story. But at least that

2304
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,760
Speaker 14: wasn't the blamed on climate change. So I'm not a

2305
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:19,960
Speaker 14: boordship over that as the one we talked about before.

2306
02:02:20,120 --> 02:02:22,560
Speaker 1: They just forgot they were gonna put that in there.

2307
02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:25,360
Speaker 1: But there's an editorial that darn.

2308
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:27,440
Speaker 14: Prince Eyes, they just didn't have enough room to squeeze

2309
02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:27,800
Speaker 14: that one in.

2310
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Well, what kind of money we talking about it in

2311
02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:31,840
Speaker 1: a Southwest New policy? How much is extra is it

2312
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:33,360
Speaker 1: to get the seat assignments up front?

2313
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:36,920
Speaker 14: Brian? I don't have that memorized, so I can't guess

2314
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,720
Speaker 14: at that, but I know it's a nominal fee in base.

2315
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:42,480
Speaker 14: It's in line with what other carriers are charging.

2316
02:02:42,600 --> 02:02:44,640
Speaker 5: And you know, it's like.

2317
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:47,080
Speaker 14: The basic economy seats that you would get from Delta

2318
02:02:47,240 --> 02:02:50,840
Speaker 14: United American, where you're paying the lowest possible fare. And

2319
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 14: part of that deal is when you get there, you

2320
02:02:53,240 --> 02:02:55,280
Speaker 14: may or may not get freaking flyer miles. And when

2321
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 14: you get there, you only have a carry on bag

2322
02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:59,160
Speaker 14: that can only go underneath the seat in front of

2323
02:02:59,200 --> 02:03:01,640
Speaker 14: you can't take up the space in the overhead, and

2324
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:04,080
Speaker 14: your seat's going to be signed at the gate at

2325
02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:06,480
Speaker 14: the last minute, which means you're probably going to have

2326
02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:08,360
Speaker 14: your butt stuck in the middle seat. That's just part

2327
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 14: of the deal of paying for basic transportation, you know

2328
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:13,960
Speaker 14: that going in and for a lot of people saying,

2329
02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 14: look to our flight to wherever I'm going, I don't care.

2330
02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 14: I'm going to save money. Take my small bag. I'll

2331
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 14: sit in the middle seat and Grant and Barrett get

2332
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 14: there and save myself quite a bit of money in

2333
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 14: the process.

2334
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:26,400
Speaker 1: Understood. All right, let's move over to the new B

2335
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:30,040
Speaker 1: seventy seven Dreamliner, apparently now being built to detect and

2336
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:34,320
Speaker 1: also respond to turbulence free driving to that dag real quick.

2337
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I have to ask you, because I've been on flights

2338
02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 1: before and they said, well, we may be approaching some

2339
02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 1: turbulence up here in the New York time, so please

2340
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 1: sit in your seat and bucket your seatbufs. Do they

2341
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 1: know that turbulence is coming based upon the weather? Is

2342
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 1: it because prior or air air airplanes have flown through

2343
02:03:50,680 --> 02:03:52,840
Speaker 1: and they've issued a warning about the turbulence. How do

2344
02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I know that there's turbulence coming before you hit it?

2345
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:58,800
Speaker 14: The latter point, it's nothing we can see on radar.

2346
02:03:59,280 --> 02:04:02,600
Speaker 14: It's nothing that we really know that we're there unless

2347
02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:04,920
Speaker 14: we're on top of it. And what ends up taking

2348
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:08,400
Speaker 14: place is you have turbulence that if you're flying, you

2349
02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:12,640
Speaker 14: might have light, moderate, severe turbulence, and when you're going

2350
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 14: through that, you'll ask air traffic control, can we go

2351
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:18,280
Speaker 14: to a different altitude, either climb or descend, so that

2352
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:21,120
Speaker 14: we can try to find some smoother air. Once that's reported,

2353
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:25,680
Speaker 14: every aircraft behind them at that same altitude requested to

2354
02:04:25,720 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 14: go to different altitudes as well to try to provide

2355
02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:33,800
Speaker 14: the smoothest possible flight, because in itself, turbulence isn't necessarily dangerous,

2356
02:04:34,560 --> 02:04:36,640
Speaker 14: especially when you're at altitude. It's like kind of hitting

2357
02:04:36,680 --> 02:04:39,600
Speaker 14: a speed mump, a little pothole or something. It just

2358
02:04:39,680 --> 02:04:41,720
Speaker 14: kind of rattles you, unless, of course, you know your

2359
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:43,760
Speaker 14: seat belt on and you kiss the ceiling. You got

2360
02:04:43,800 --> 02:04:47,520
Speaker 14: to be careful there. But a Dreamliner the seven eighty

2361
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:52,120
Speaker 14: sevens have a system that actually it's called a vertical

2362
02:04:52,160 --> 02:04:55,560
Speaker 14: gust suppression system. It monitors air data and some of

2363
02:04:55,600 --> 02:05:00,440
Speaker 14: the acceleration cues in when it detects pressure variants. It

2364
02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 14: actually has an automatic command system that controls the elevators

2365
02:05:04,560 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 14: and the flaps to try to move the aircraft in

2366
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,720
Speaker 14: such a way that it dampens the turbulence, kind of

2367
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:13,920
Speaker 14: trims the vertical acceleration, and the goal is to reduce

2368
02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:16,960
Speaker 14: that vertical motion by sixty to seventy percent. Now Boeing

2369
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:20,520
Speaker 14: is very quick to say, look, we can't eliminate turbulence entirely,

2370
02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 14: that's not going to happen. But the Dreamliner is built

2371
02:05:23,320 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 14: in such a way that everything works properly that it

2372
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:30,200
Speaker 14: can actually give you a smoother ride. And that's one

2373
02:05:30,200 --> 02:05:33,160
Speaker 14: of the benefits of this. And I tell you Boeing

2374
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:37,760
Speaker 14: is off to a great start. In January, they outsold

2375
02:05:38,160 --> 02:05:41,080
Speaker 14: and out delivered more aircraft than airbus buyer a lot.

2376
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 14: So hopefully they're going to keep that moving. And when

2377
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:46,280
Speaker 14: they've got this kind of technology, and again with new

2378
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 14: ge engines and things of this nature, which United in

2379
02:05:49,240 --> 02:05:51,360
Speaker 14: other airlines are gobbling up as much as they can,

2380
02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:56,600
Speaker 14: they're getting a very powerful, fuel efficient, more quiet aircraft engine.

2381
02:05:56,640 --> 02:05:59,280
Speaker 14: So a lot of this technology is really moving us

2382
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:03,520
Speaker 14: in the direction of again fewer emissions, which is always good,

2383
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:07,320
Speaker 14: and quieter aircraft, which is also good. And you just

2384
02:06:07,360 --> 02:06:10,640
Speaker 14: love to see the technology make aviation better. You just

2385
02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:13,480
Speaker 14: wish some of those improvements would happen inside the cabin

2386
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:16,000
Speaker 14: on customer service. But I guess we can give up

2387
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:18,480
Speaker 14: on that because I don't see that happening anytime soon.

2388
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:19,920
Speaker 1: No, I don't hold your breath for that. Jay. We

2389
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:24,720
Speaker 1: enjoy hitting you around. Please. It's a forty six that

2390
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:28,240
Speaker 1: they ever, ever the FAA had a time where they

2391
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:30,680
Speaker 1: were not hiring based on merit scares the living crap

2392
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:32,680
Speaker 1: out of me. Apparently they've righted the ship on that.

2393
02:06:33,120 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 1: More with Jay Ratlift plus hub delays is a good

2394
02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:37,600
Speaker 1: day to fly. I don't know what the front rolling in.

2395
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Jay on that as well. Stick

2396
02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:39,760
Speaker 1: around me right.

2397
02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:42,640
Speaker 8: Back fifty five K see the talk station.

2398
02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Eight on a Friday eve one more segment here with

2399
02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:54,640
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratlift. Oh my word, FAA orders

2400
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: airlines to base hiring on merit. What I mean you're

2401
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:01,080
Speaker 1: talking about our lives here, Jay, rat If merrit did

2402
02:07:01,120 --> 02:07:04,120
Speaker 1: not wasn't involved in the first and foremost thing in

2403
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:07,000
Speaker 1: terms of hiring, I'm worried.

2404
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:10,880
Speaker 14: Well, I tell you, if it's a Walmart greeter, I'm

2405
02:07:10,880 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 14: a little bit more comfortable with that. Absolutely, when you're

2406
02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:17,520
Speaker 14: talking about pilots and this kind of sims back to

2407
02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 14: a few years ago. Airlines United specifically was leading the

2408
02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 14: charge on this. United identified a goal by the end

2409
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 14: of the decade, by twenty thirty, they were going to

2410
02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:30,200
Speaker 14: hire five thousand new pilots. They needed it because the

2411
02:07:30,240 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 14: growth of aviation, the attrition. They were saying within their ranks,

2412
02:07:35,040 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 14: they knew they needed five thousand new pilots, and they said,

2413
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:41,880
Speaker 14: our goal is fifty percent of those new hires are

2414
02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:46,360
Speaker 14: going to be women or individuals of color, and that's

2415
02:07:46,400 --> 02:07:49,480
Speaker 14: what they were pushing for. Now, when you recognize it,

2416
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:53,040
Speaker 14: currently in aviation, less than five percent of the pilots

2417
02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:55,440
Speaker 14: that we have in the country are women, less than

2418
02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:58,880
Speaker 14: five percent are people of color. You're talking about total

2419
02:07:58,960 --> 02:08:03,600
Speaker 14: ten percent. So if United is really dedicated as they

2420
02:08:03,640 --> 02:08:09,280
Speaker 14: have been, to this diversification approach, then the diversity means

2421
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:13,920
Speaker 14: that if I've got ten candidates and the most qualified

2422
02:08:14,080 --> 02:08:17,920
Speaker 14: are someone who happens to be white versus a woman

2423
02:08:18,120 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 14: or someone of color, then to make sure I'm fulfilling

2424
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:25,360
Speaker 14: my quota, there's going to be the tendency to go

2425
02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:29,760
Speaker 14: with less qualified applicants. Now, United has been pushing back

2426
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:32,800
Speaker 14: on this, thaying, look, we're not hiring anybody who's not qualified. True,

2427
02:08:33,280 --> 02:08:35,200
Speaker 14: but what they are doing is you might have an

2428
02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:38,080
Speaker 14: individual that might have eight thousand flight hours versus somebody

2429
02:08:38,120 --> 02:08:40,680
Speaker 14: that has two thousand flight hours, and to fulfill the

2430
02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:45,000
Speaker 14: diversity goal you have, let's hire the pilot with two

2431
02:08:45,040 --> 02:08:48,240
Speaker 14: thousand hours. So what the Federal Aviation Administration is doing now,

2432
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:51,240
Speaker 14: through obvious pressure from the Trump administration, and I totally

2433
02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 14: agree with it, is, look, let's just hire the best

2434
02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 14: person qualified, if a black woman, a person of color,

2435
02:08:57,240 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 14: non color, who cares, Let's just put the best possible

2436
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 14: person into the flight deck of an aircraft. And that's

2437
02:09:04,560 --> 02:09:07,120
Speaker 14: where the sanity is starting to return here. It's a

2438
02:09:07,120 --> 02:09:09,960
Speaker 14: lot like a few months ago, it was ordered that

2439
02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:14,120
Speaker 14: the millions of dollars the FAA spent removing all the

2440
02:09:14,440 --> 02:09:20,480
Speaker 14: offensive terms like you know, manpower and a lot of

2441
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:22,840
Speaker 14: these other terms, so that you can't have notice to

2442
02:09:22,880 --> 02:09:25,240
Speaker 14: airmen because oops, that could be a you know, we

2443
02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:27,640
Speaker 14: went back to what we did before, which is what

2444
02:09:27,680 --> 02:09:29,840
Speaker 14: we should have done. But Brian, here they're just trying

2445
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:33,920
Speaker 14: to make sure that the airlines are proceeding without that

2446
02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:37,320
Speaker 14: the anything other than based on merit, which is exactly

2447
02:09:37,400 --> 02:09:38,040
Speaker 14: what they should be.

2448
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:41,080
Speaker 1: Doing exactly and I am thinking like, well, if I

2449
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:42,760
Speaker 1: have to go into the knife and have a surgeon

2450
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:45,320
Speaker 1: operate on me, I'm not looking for a DEI hire.

2451
02:09:45,400 --> 02:09:48,840
Speaker 1: I want whoever is the best qualified. This is life

2452
02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,040
Speaker 1: and life and death stuff we're talking about here. We

2453
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:52,280
Speaker 1: don't have time for games.

2454
02:09:52,720 --> 02:09:55,280
Speaker 14: So no, not when you're thirty thousand and five thousand

2455
02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:57,120
Speaker 14: feet and plus. I mean, look at the situation with

2456
02:09:57,240 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 14: the miracle on the Hudson. You've had two incredible qualified

2457
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:05,240
Speaker 14: pilots and Sully and Jeff Skiles that worked that situation

2458
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:08,480
Speaker 14: and they called upon their experience and they did an

2459
02:10:08,480 --> 02:10:11,400
Speaker 14: incredible job and saved a lot of lives. That's what

2460
02:10:11,440 --> 02:10:13,560
Speaker 14: you want on the flight deck, not somebody that's there

2461
02:10:13,600 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 14: simply because there was a box that needed to be checked.

2462
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 14: And look, I help out the Legacy program in Chicago.

2463
02:10:20,560 --> 02:10:22,760
Speaker 14: They try to bring in a lot of women in

2464
02:10:22,880 --> 02:10:25,840
Speaker 14: minorities into aviation to try to get them excited as

2465
02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 14: kids about aviation so that they can become pilots at

2466
02:10:28,960 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 14: a later age. I love doing that because there's a

2467
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:34,880
Speaker 14: need for it, but you can't push it to the

2468
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:39,240
Speaker 14: point that you're compromising levels of safety and sadly that's

2469
02:10:39,240 --> 02:10:41,880
Speaker 14: what's happened in the past, and it's just you know,

2470
02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:44,640
Speaker 14: sanity has returned. You just hope it's going to remain

2471
02:10:44,680 --> 02:10:45,400
Speaker 14: here for a while.

2472
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Indeed, and I suppose you pulled any man, woman, or

2473
02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:52,080
Speaker 1: person on the airplane, regardless of color or gender, they'd

2474
02:10:52,080 --> 02:10:55,280
Speaker 1: all agree they want the best qualified person behind the

2475
02:10:55,280 --> 02:10:57,520
Speaker 1: stick of the airplane that they're on, right.

2476
02:10:58,240 --> 02:11:02,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I mean put every prejudice you might have aside.

2477
02:11:02,080 --> 02:11:05,280
Speaker 14: You want the best qualified person up there. Yeah, you know,

2478
02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:09,400
Speaker 14: And I don't care what their orientation is or what

2479
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:12,720
Speaker 14: this or what. I want the most qualified. And I'll

2480
02:11:12,760 --> 02:11:14,320
Speaker 14: even give them a hug if they get me on

2481
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 14: the on the ground safely.

2482
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:16,640
Speaker 5: I don't care a brother.

2483
02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:18,880
Speaker 1: All Right, we got a front coming today. What's looked

2484
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:21,640
Speaker 1: like out there for air travel time for the hub delay.

2485
02:11:22,200 --> 02:11:24,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, the winds could give us some issues as the

2486
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:27,120
Speaker 14: day progresses, Ryan, But right now, I think the biggest

2487
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:29,960
Speaker 14: concerns are going to be towards the south. We're seeing

2488
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 14: Atlanta and Charlotte expecting some delays. Detroit as well. That's

2489
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:35,840
Speaker 14: going to be probably the biggest issue today.

2490
02:11:35,920 --> 02:11:36,000
Speaker 2: Now.

2491
02:11:36,080 --> 02:11:39,120
Speaker 14: Obviously the West coast is getting hammered. San Francisco in La.

2492
02:11:39,240 --> 02:11:42,760
Speaker 14: But as far as the closer home stuff to around us,

2493
02:11:42,760 --> 02:11:44,080
Speaker 14: those are the ones that are going to be seeing

2494
02:11:44,080 --> 02:11:46,680
Speaker 14: that the biggest impact towards late in the day. Some

2495
02:11:46,760 --> 02:11:50,160
Speaker 14: of those wins and the issues could kind of impact

2496
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:52,880
Speaker 14: us in the Northeast, in Philadelphia, d C, in New York.

2497
02:11:52,960 --> 02:11:54,360
Speaker 14: I don't think that's gonna be till late.

2498
02:11:54,240 --> 02:11:54,760
Speaker 11: In the day though.

2499
02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:57,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Jay Rayler, thank you for your thoughts.
