Right, Yeah, 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 4: the very the governing body. I guess you could argue 34 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 4: it's still the governing body Hamas for Gaza. Not that 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 4: people voted on that, but shooting their own people, killing 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 4: their own people, winding them up and putting bullets in 37 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 4: the back of their head. There's been a lot of 38 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 4: news articles about that, and they're claiming that the ones 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 4: that they're killing, Hamas is killing these people because the 40 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 4: people that they have selected to kill were working with 41 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: the Israelis or something like that. Sounds remarkably similar to 42 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 4: our hasty withdraw from Afghanistan, leaving a lot of the 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 4: Afghanistan folks who had actually helped us during our occupation there, well, 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 4: leaving them to a questionable future. I'm sure a lot 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 4: of them didn't quite make it out of that same 46 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 4: thing going on right now.

We 78 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 4: hear from my heart MEATIA aviation expert Jay rat left 79 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 4: today Boeing, increasing the number of jets delivered, but still 80 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 4: behind Airbus Delta United reporting strong earnings and a nod 81 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: to the premium passengers for the strong earnings report. Plus 82 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: a passenger attacked a crew member, forcing an emergency landing 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 4: on Alaska airlines. There's always somebody out there doing something 84 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 4: extraordinarily stupid. We'll talk about that with Jay. We'll see 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: if I can't come up with some curveball topics between 86 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: now and eight thirty to throw at Jack. All right, 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: since it's the bubbling percolating local issue and there are 88 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 4: a lot of other bubbling percolating issues. Hey, you know 89 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 4: there's I know one of the reasons that Democrats keep 90 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 4: the government shut down is because they don't want to 91 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: wait till this no King's prote us this weekend October eighteenth. 92 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 4: Are you planning on attending. They're expecting millions and millions 93 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 4: of people across the Sun Country to show up on 94 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 4: October eighteenth, this Saturday. There's one event located near you. 95 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 4: More than twenty five hundred of them are planned across 96 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 4: every state in the Union. Organizers include all of the people, 97 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 4: the usual characters that you would expect, and a lot 98 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 4: of big fat promotional money by those left wing organizations 99 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: like move on dot org that have been promoting this. 100 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 4: So get out there and be angry and yell and 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 4: scream and try to be peaceful if you can try 102 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 4: to be I know, I pivoted away from the police 103 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 4: chief comments, but this is going to be big, and 104 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 4: the Democrats were waiting around for this, because then they're 105 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: going to point to the millions of people who took 106 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 4: to the streets on Saturday and protests to the Trump 107 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: administration and whatever they're out protesting. Are they angry because 108 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: evil Orange Man period, end of story, the Trump arrangement syndrome? People? 109 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: Are they angry old immigration policies? Are the angry over 110 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 4: ice picking up dangerous, murderous rapists and deporting them otherwise 111 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 4: incarcerating him? Is this a rally in support of keeping 112 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: illegal immigrant criminals on the street? Is that what this 113 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: is about? Is it about Donald Trump negotiating peace between 114 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: Israel and Hamas? Is it about anger over the lack 115 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: of a two state solution? Is it anger over and 116 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 4: frustration over the situation involving the Palestinian people? Is it 117 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 4: anger and frustration over the green energy policies of the 118 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 4: United States. It could be all of them, and I'm 119 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: gonna suggest yes, it is literally all of them. It 120 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 4: reminds me of like the late sixties and early seventies 121 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 4: with Vietnam protests, which included a whole bunch of different 122 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: groups and factions coming together just as an angry mob. 123 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 4: Look there they are. That must be the will of 124 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: the people, and we'll see. I just want you to 125 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 4: keep in mind. You know, there's a lot of people 126 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 4: out there that probably have nothing to do on a Saturday. 127 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 4: They'll be happy to show up at this protest because 128 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: evil Orange man or whatever. But considering the population of 129 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: the United States of America, consider that we have three 130 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 4: hundred and forty plus or minus million people here, how 131 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 4: many people have to show up to reflect and a 132 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: reflection of popular public opinion. And just because you have 133 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: a big showing of protesters, is it really truly representative 134 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: of what the American people want? Because poll after poll 135 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: after poll, you're talking about these eighty twenty issues, the 136 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: Democrats always seem to be on the twenty percent side, 137 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: Like guys pretending to be girls and getting into the 138 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: restroom with your twelve year old daughter. Okay, that one's 139 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 4: a no brainer. If I think the vast majority of 140 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: people and if this protest was all about that issue, 141 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: you would probably get a very very insignificant number of 142 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: people showing up. But this is this is an ill 143 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: defined moment of anger that's going on after it's taking 144 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 4: place on Saturday, and a disturbing element is whether or not, 145 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 4: like you know, the George Floyd protests, to b LM protests, 146 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 4: the anti file protests, and there's gonna be a lot 147 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 4: of anti file folks out and then amid this crowd, 148 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: you know damn well that there will be, and I 149 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: bet there'll be a lot of masked, black clad individuals 150 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 4: waving their respective flags, but also throwing fireworks, bottle rocket, 151 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: smoke bombs, maybe even as happened the other day driving 152 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 4: an suv into ice agents. I suspect some of that's 153 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: gonna happen. And the reason why is there's actually another 154 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 4: new poll out. Not that this shocks anybody, but a 155 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: subsizable number of liberals believe it is acceptable to break 156 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 4: the law in the name of their political message. It's 157 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: survey by Signal. They've on this several years and years 158 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: in a row. Forty two percent of liberals say it 159 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: is acceptable to go beyond peaceful protests, even if it 160 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 4: means breaking the law. The number jumps to sixty percent 161 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: of liberals under the age of thirty, so you're young 162 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: people out there, and I would say a pretty decent 163 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 4: majority at sixty percent are willing to break the law 164 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 4: in the name of their political objective. The President's signal 165 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: who did this poll in the Polster One side of 166 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: American political spectrum, whether directly engaged in behaviors or not, 167 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: now openly accepts breaking laws if it means advancing their 168 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 4: political agenda. Considering their justification of illegal immigration, and instances 169 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 4: that it is not a criminal act. If the act 170 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 4: is desperate, this might not be such a surprise. So 171 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: I just have to go back to what's on the 172 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 4: books now. I guess they're actually angry at the laws 173 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 4: that are on the books, laws defining who is lawfully 174 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 4: in our country and who is not. And then there's 175 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 4: that separate, pesky set of criminal laws independent of one's 176 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 4: lawful status in the country or not. If you or 177 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 4: I legal citizens commit a crime like, oh, I don't know, 178 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 4: raping a child, we're gonna end up in prison because 179 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: our criminal justice system demands it. If any one of 180 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: the quote unquote illegal immigrants that's been picked up by ICE, 181 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 4: ICE doing its job and complying with federal law regarding immigration, 182 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 4: if they pick up somebody who is a let's say, 183 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: a child rapist like I just mentioned, and they happen 184 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: to be illegal. The remedy we've got, and it's a 185 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 4: quick one, is to throw them out of the damn 186 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 4: country and center back for wherever they came, or pick 187 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 4: a country randomly, which the Trump administration seems to do. 188 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 4: I'm puzzled by that. Be well, how do you pick 189 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: Uganda or whatever as a country when the person that 190 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: you picked up came from pick a country, Venezuela. But 191 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 4: it's a quick, expedient remedy to get a dangerous person 192 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 4: out of our country. 193 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: One. 194 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: They had no right to be here in the first place, 195 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 4: they broke the law doing so. And then oh look 196 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: long and behold they turn out to be a moluster 197 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: of children. Yeah, okay. Rather than send them through the 198 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: criminal justice system and lock them up in a prison 199 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 4: at taxpayer dollars expense, how about we just throw them out. 200 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 4: That's why you're protesting, because you don't want a dangerous 201 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 4: person picked up and chucked out of the country head 202 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 4: to the streets this weekend. I just hope it doesn't 203 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: end up in violence. Although if I was a betting man, 204 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 4: I think you know which direction I'm going to go 205 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 4: on that five at seventeen right now, feel free to 206 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: call five one three, seven four nine to fifty five hundred, 207 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 4: eight hundred and eighty two three taco A time five 208 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: fifty on eighteen and T phones.

Do you have any locations 233 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 5: or where we're supposed to have these festivals and the 234 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 5: thing Saturday. 235 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 4: Well, according to the little map which I saw on 236 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: the reporting on this, they're pretty much literally everywhere. There're 237 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 4: twenty five hundred of them across the country. I suspect your 238 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: most likely destination would be something like maybe City Hall downtown. 239 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 4: I don't know. I honestly, Bobby. As much as I 240 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 4: wanted to talk about the reality of what's going on 241 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: and put it in the context I did, I wasn't 242 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: interested in promoting it. So you know, it's like, I 243 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: literally do not know where the sins I protest is, 244 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: but if I did know, part of me would be 245 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 4: reluctant to even say it out loud. Bobby, you plan 246 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 4: it on showing up. 247 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 5: Joe said, there wasn't anything going on now Cole rain, 248 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 5: but since it was supposed to rain, I thought they 249 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 5: may have some indoor activities or something. Yeah, there's a 250 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 5: lot of malls that are vacant. 251 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's space. 252 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 4: Available, Gotta have that air conditioning, got to be in comfort, 253 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 4: find a controlled environment. Right. 254 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 5: Well, God bless them all, you know, God bless them 255 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 5: all Saturday. And maybe the chief ex chief. You know, 256 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 5: she's falling on the stoard for the mayor, so perhaps 257 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 5: it's something that she's falling on the swords. 258 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 4: Well, you go, she hasn't been fired yet, operative word yet. 259 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 4: Somebody's heads got a roll and they have mayor have 260 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 4: to have Purvoal is certainly not going to allow his 261 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 4: head to be the sacrificial head. Before we get to 262 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 4: the election. Maybe the voters will see it differently, Bobby, 263 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: what do you. 264 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 5: Think her tenure is questionable? 265 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: Well, and going back to ken Kober's point on that 266 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 4: used to be that the police themselves were deciding who 267 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 4: their chief would be. They could choose from among their 268 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 4: own ranks. They are more familiar with who has the 269 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 4: competence to run the police department and to whom they 270 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: want to be accountable. Now, the mayor and the city 271 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: manager are alone selected, making it an extraordinary political position. 272 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: So you're subject to the whim of probably just one person, 273 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 4: the mayor or maybe the city manager, but collectively it's 274 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 4: supposed to be the mayor and the city manager. So yeah, 275 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 4: I think Ken is right on that maybe we go 276 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: back to the old ways, and that's actually one of 277 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: the things that's been reported. That was one of his suggestions. 278 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 4: Repeal issue five. So the police chief isn't under the 279 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 4: thumb of an elected official, he said out loud. So 280 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 4: there you have it. Good to hear from me. As always, Bobby, 281 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 4: stay safe, have a great weekend, and enjoy the no 282 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: Kings protest if you can figure out where it is. 283 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: Have to comment on this just because I and I 284 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 4: admit to I will call Donald Trump out when I 285 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 4: think he's exceeding his authority and to yesterday, he's kind 286 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: of alarming from my standpoint because I personally don't believe 287 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: in unilateral decisions by elected officials to launch rockets and 288 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 4: blow people up in areas where we have no declaration 289 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 4: of war, in an areas where the individuals being blown up. Notably, 290 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: drug dealers in boats who are one thousand miles away 291 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 4: plus don't represent an immediate threat to the United States 292 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 4: of America. Yeah they got drugs, Yes they want to 293 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: bring the drugs here, but it's not an immediate threat. 294 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 4: Wait for the Coastguard to pick them up once they're 295 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: in US waters. Blah blah blah blah. Right, well, now 296 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 4: Donald Trump is letting it is authorized the CIA to 297 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 4: start carrying out strikes inside Venezuela, strikes on land within 298 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: the country done by the CIA. We don't know what 299 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: the CIA's budget is, We don't even know what they do. 300 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 4: We just know that that's that secret organization behind the scenes, 301 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: supposed to be looking out for our best interest and 302 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 4: of course sowing the seeds of political descent around this country, 303 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 4: impacting elections. And of course, many people are arguing that 304 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 4: Donald Trump is trying to kick out Nicholas Maduro by 305 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 4: launching these strikes against the drug boats. Whether or not 306 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 4: he has any success in a completely corrupt land where 307 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 4: you really can't vote or count on your vote being 308 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 4: counted properly, go ahead, draw parallels. Don't know if he's 309 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 4: going to be successful, but I find it problematic that 310 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 4: he's kind of admitted to doing this. He said, we 311 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 4: had number six votes strike twenty seven dead in little 312 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: boats down by Venezuela and pursuing to our missile strikes. 313 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 4: Donald Trump yesterday speaking to reporters, we are certainly looking 314 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: at land now because we've got the sea under control. 315 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 4: We've had a couple of days now where there isn't 316 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 4: a boat to be found. He was asked about this 317 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 4: New York Times report earlier in the morning yesterday that 318 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 4: said he authorized the CIA to carry out operations inside Venezuela, 319 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 4: including lethal operations. At least according to the New York 320 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 4: Times reporting, I authorized for two reasons, he said. Really. 321 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 4: Number one, they have emptied their prisons into the United 322 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 4: States of America. They came through the border. No argument. 323 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 4: I agree that happened, at least I perceive it to 324 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 4: have happened. Is that does that justify a unilateral decision 325 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 4: to blow up stuff within Venezuela, because my understanding he's 326 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 4: going to blow up the drug cartel operations. Did they 327 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 4: facilitate the emptying out of the prisons or would that 328 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 4: be more of a presidential level decision? Maduro and then 329 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: he and I said, a lot of drugs come out 330 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: in from Venezuela and a lot of drugs come in 331 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 4: through the sea, but we're going to stop them by land. 332 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 4: Also wow, I speaking of expedient.

I mean, look, we we all have decisions 396 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 6: to make and we get sometimes put in a position 397 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 6: because of negative stuff, consequences, whatever. We got to make 398 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 6: a decision and something maybe we don't want to do, 399 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 6: we never thought we would have to do, but you know, 400 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 6: these these situations are staring us in the face and 401 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 6: we got to do it. And you know, sometimes it 402 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 6: has to be done. So uh, to uh, to follow 403 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 6: up yesterday's phone call, uh, and to respond to Mississippi 404 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 6: James my my perspective on this. First of all, I 405 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 6: agree we should be considering the perspective and circumstances of 406 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 6: people involved in whatever's going on. It's something someone you're 407 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 6: having a conversation with, somebody in a story, Hey, think 408 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 6: about what they're going through, trying the best you can 409 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 6: to put your put yourself in their shoes, all that stuff. 410 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 6: I guess I wholeheartedly agree. But while we're considering each 411 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 6: other's perspective, we need we need to all being agreement 412 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 6: in agreement on the same basic set of rules. We 413 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 6: should all there's some civility that we all have to maintain. 414 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 6: That's why, you know, the best kind of discourse is 415 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 6: a civil discourse. We have to stay on topic, we 416 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 6: have to keep our goal. We have to not go 417 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 6: off on some kind of a tantrum on something that 418 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 6: has nothing to do with what we're talking about, just 419 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 6: to mask over whatever it is we have said or 420 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 6: whatever we're accused of doing. And so, yeah, I would 421 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 6: love to have some kind of thing where we can 422 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 6: sit down and talk. But short of that, we have 423 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 6: the ability to get on here and speak our mind 424 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 6: and give our opinions, and we we it's great. I 425 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 6: think it's a very healthy thing to be able to do. 426 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 6: And I encourage people to listen to this and programs 427 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 6: like this and and so that we can hear what 428 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 6: other people have to say. And we talked about this before. 429 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 6: One of the best parts of this is hearing other 430 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 6: people's opinions, not just saying what I have to say 431 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 6: and hanging you up and turn the radio off. But 432 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 6: I like to hear what other people have to say. 433 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 6: I appreciate the responses.

It's helping. And if 438 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 6: I can help anymore, I would give everyone the advice 439 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 6: don't vote Rhino and don't vote Democrat. Have a great day. 440 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 4: I always have opportunity to reel it right back into 441 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 4: that final point. And I appreciate your comments about the show. 442 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: That's the component of the show that I enjoy so much, 443 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 4: because who am I a man with an opinion, a 444 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 4: guy with a sphincter like everybody else.

They were disputing over security. They 508 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 4: won't place the guard to the front door. They won't 509 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: provide the necessary security perceived needed by the Ruby group. 510 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 4: So there it is. I don't think it was over rent, 511 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: it was over security. 512 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 8: They tried to make an issue in one of the 513 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 8: news stations that it was over a rent issue, but 514 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 8: I was in that office up there, because the Republican 515 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 8: office was one floor up and when you took the 516 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 8: elevator there was absolutely no security and it was no 517 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 8: key card. Seems that she was exactly right on telling this, 518 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 8: but their the town properties are going to come out 519 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 8: and say, well, it was. 520 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: Over a rent issue. That's all bull So that's this, 521 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 2: And then she got into the fact. 522 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 8: Of crime and that she was downtown on one of 523 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 8: these happenings and that is why they're thinking about moving that. 524 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 8: It's a palacious office up there, and I know Jeff 525 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 8: Ruby doesn't want to spend the money to move, but 526 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 8: now he has to. And I'm hoping that the restaurant 527 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 8: isn't next, because that is the number one restaurant in 528 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 8: downtown Cincinnati, a bar all. 529 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens on that. 530 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 8: Now the debate, Now, if anybody watched that and didn't 531 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 8: know Purvall before this, he's a bully, and Corey is 532 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 8: very statesmanlike and diplomatic, and he got a couple of 533 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 8: jabs in. But Corey is not the meaning that Purvall is, 534 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 8: and Purvoll saying Cory this and Cory that, and he 535 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 8: was not qualified and he doesn't know what he's talking 536 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 8: about and things like this. 537 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: That's the Purvall. He tried to be nice, but Purball 538 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: isn't nice. He has to get his he has to 539 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: get his digs in. 540 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 8: And if anybody didn't see that, you should hit the 541 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 8: DVR and you should go back and watch that thing 542 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 8: because it was absolutely terrible the way he treats people. 543 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 8: And he treated people like that in the clerk's office. 544 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 8: I knew people in the clerk's office down and when 545 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 8: he was there, and he was horrible. And that's why 546 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 8: a lot of them either quit when they stuck it 547 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 8: out because of the fact of retirement. And then as 548 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 8: soon as soon as retirement age came up, it's kind 549 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 8: of like. 550 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 2: A drop with the police. They got out. 551 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 8: And you know, I saw the pure Ball that I 552 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 8: know last night, and Corey Uh, I thought he did 553 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 8: a decent job. 554 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 2: I wish the Ruby thing would it came up with. 555 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 8: When Purvall said about the fact that business is coming 556 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 8: downtown and everything is jumping and everything is great. 557 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 4: And all this kind of stuff, did he did he 558 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 4: cite any specific examples of businesses that are coming downtown 559 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 4: on Moss No, no, I don't think so. Yeah, I did. 560 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 4: I knew the answer to that question before asking you. 561 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely no. 562 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 8: And he ain't talking about the ones over leaving, the 563 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 8: big corporations and so forth. 564 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 2: On his watch. Yeah, And you know, it's just sure. 565 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 8: He talked about the housing coming in and I just 566 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 8: don't understand where you're coming up with the fact of 567 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 8: forty thousand housing opportunities coming up in the next four years. 568 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 8: Forty thousand Are you kidding me? 569 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 4: They can't get a lane mile get his number, They 570 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 4: can't get a lane mile paved. How they're gonna bill 571 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: forty thousand units? Yeah? 572 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 8: And then that that was one of the focal points 573 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 8: last night was the paving, and Corey got him on 574 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 8: that one where he came out and he said, well, 575 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 8: you've had four years to do this. Why is it 576 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 8: during the election year and all of a sudden you're 577 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 8: bringing all this up. Everybody knows that it wouldn't even 578 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 8: have to be explained.

No, 580 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 8: Sunset was not brought up. It would have been funny 581 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 8: if Corey would have said, well you should drive up 582 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 8: on down Sunset anyone talk about it.

Oh Jay, real quick, 640 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 4: you have a reading assignment, Gay, go to zero hedge 641 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 4: dot com. There's an article there that's we reposted from 642 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 4: the Epoch or Epic Times regardless by Molly Engelhardt headline 643 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 4: when do we truly own anything? The property tax scheme 644 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 4: that keeps us paying forever? I thought about you the 645 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 4: minute I read that. So anyhow, reading assignment. 646 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it sounds good. Hey, just want to give 647 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 3: you an update. 648 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 10: We're up to seventy five billion dollars in savings with 649 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 10: this government shut down, and I kind of thought about, 650 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 10: what could we do with that money? Minus the twenty 651 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 10: billion that was given to Argentina by Trump gets us 652 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 10: down to fifty five billion dollars saved. So I thought 653 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 10: about what else could we do with that money? With 654 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 10: fifty five billion, we could actually fund the Department of 655 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 10: Education for three months, and the twenty billion that was 656 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,719 Speaker 10: given to Argentina, that could actually fund one year of 657 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 10: Ohio Medicaid fraud. So it's you know, you put it 658 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 10: in that perspective, A fifty billion dollars would only fund 659 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 10: one Department of Education for three months. So people need 660 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 10: to think about we could go back in time. Would 661 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 10: you rather have the government fully funded and operational for 662 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 10: these past two weeks with an approble rating of like 663 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 10: twenty seven percent? Or would you rather have seventy five 664 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 10: billion dollars going towards the national debt? We don't need 665 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 10: more government. Nobody's suffering, Everybody relaxed. And to your point, 666 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 10: why back to property tax?

Government shutdown No. 686 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 4: An efficiency audit based on data from past closing is 687 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 4: roughly twenty five percent of the federal workforce, of course, 688 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 4: could be permanently cut. Good number crunching on that one. 689 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 4: Looking at pass shutdowns, a number of people who lost 690 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 4: their jobs, who were furloughed, and really the impact on 691 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 4: that at least in so far as how you and 692 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 4: I experienced it, and I am with Dan that Yeah, 693 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 4: I do believe twenty five percent of the work or 694 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 4: force could be permanently cut, resulting in a significant decrease 695 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 4: in our spending in government.

Welcome Christopher Smithman. 735 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 4: It's a pleasure hearing from me this morning. 736 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: Hey, thank you, Brian. I just want to spend a 737 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 3: few minutes kind of weighing in, and I might have 738 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 3: a different perspective than others about what I see happening. 739 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 3: I see the police chief being used as a scapegoat 740 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 3: right before an election, and it's really troublesome to me. 741 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: And I've been talking about issue five and what I 742 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 3: think the shortcomings are with issue five. 743 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 4: All right, real quick, Chris, Christopher, remind my listeners what 744 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 4: issue five is. This came up in our conversation I 745 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 4: had with Ken Kober earlier, and I had forgotten the 746 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 4: way things used to be versus how they are now, 747 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 4: which means the I guess the mayor and the city 748 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 4: manager are solely responsible for determining who the police chief is, 749 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 4: selecting that person and firing the chief. 750 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 3: That's correct and what used to happen is you know 751 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 3: when Striker Chief Striker was the last chief under the 752 00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 3: old system, which had its pluses and minuses, But the 753 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 3: reality was you knew who the police chief was, and 754 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 3: the police chief made the decisions, the best decisions for 755 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 3: the department, and without fear of termination. And so what's 756 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 3: happening now is this to me is like the loophole 757 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 3: here that is personality driven. The issue five is as 758 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 3: good as the mayor is and as good as the 759 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 3: city manager is. And so what I see here now, 760 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,479 Speaker 3: and I'm letting you know publicly that I don't think 761 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 3: the police chief nor the fire chief should be terminated 762 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 3: without the consent of city council. I think seven members 763 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 3: of council should have to weigh in on the termination 764 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 3: of what I would say the most important job, our 765 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 3: fire chief and our police chief. And so what you 766 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 3: see here is right before an election, a mayor in 767 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 3: panic mode, a mayor trying to figure out what he 768 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 3: needs to do politically and willing to destroy somebody else's career. Now, 769 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 3: let's give a context here, right well, first, Fiji Chief 770 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 3: Fiji has given a life to the Cincinnati Police Department, 771 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 3: and she is from the Nevill family. She's a Neville, 772 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 3: and the Nevill family has given so much as police 773 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 3: officers to the City of Cincinnati. So let's make sure 774 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 3: that we put her in the right context and that 775 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 3: we at least what I want to do is if 776 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 3: she decides to leave, resign, or she's fired, that is 777 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 3: done with dignity. All of this is not on her, 778 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 3: because what I've seen the mayor do is send all 779 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 3: kinds of different messages. One of those that's the hiring 780 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 3: of Irish ROWLEI in this consulted position, and nobody quite 781 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 3: knows what she's doing and what kind of pressure she's 782 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 3: putting on the chief. What we do know is that 783 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 3: the city manager has really empowered her in a way 784 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 3: that I've never seen before. We have a chair of 785 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 3: law in Public Safety. That's Scottie Johnson. He's elected, he goes, 786 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 3: his name is on the ballot. That's the person that 787 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 3: is providing the civilian oversight, not Irish Rolely, a consultant. 788 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 3: And it seems like the lines are being blurred here 789 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 3: for me, and I think they were blurred for the 790 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 3: chiefs on who is actually who should she be listening 791 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 3: to and what is the direction now ultimately to the public, 792 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 3: our our our police chief is ultimately responsible for those decisions. 793 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 3: I just want everybody to know that this is part 794 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 3: of the chaos that I think is a problem, because 795 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 3: if the police chief had to come before council right now, 796 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 3: I don't know if they could get seven votes to 797 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 3: fire her, and definitely fire her right before an election 798 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 3: on November fourth. That's the rub for me. It's the 799 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,280 Speaker 3: it's the timing of this public it's the time timing 800 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 3: of it, Brian Thomas, that we should all be concerned about. 801 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 4: Well, and I'm glad you brought up that the full 802 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 4: council having a say in this point, because I was 803 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 4: going to counter your suggestion. How can we expect things 804 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 4: to be different if all the counselor are the same party. 805 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 4: You've got, you know, a Democrat mayor and who I 806 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 4: presume has a tremendous amount of sway over the individual 807 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 4: Democrat council members. How much maybe that would come down 808 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 4: to how they would ultimately vote on firing or not 809 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 4: firing the police chief. But as it is right now, 810 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 4: I think they probably would all vote if the mayor 811 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 4: wanted to fire the chief and the city manager wanted 812 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 4: to fire the chief, they probably would all follow lead 813 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,720 Speaker 4: and do so along the same lines. 814 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 3: Well, I think you are, you think you're right about that. 815 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 3: But here's the difference. You've got the FLP President Kober 816 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 3: who's coming on, and he has people that they have supported, 817 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 3: they've endorsed. So I would think that the FLP would 818 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 3: be able to go to those members of council and say, listen, 819 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 3: here are our thoughts on what you should do, and 820 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 3: those things would be taken under consideration. They wouldn't be 821 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,919 Speaker 3: done outside of the electeds, who the people have put 822 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 3: there to provide oversight for police and fire. 823 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 2: I just think there should be an. 824 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 3: Extra step here, and particularly Brian the timing of this. 825 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 3: We had a shooting off Fountain Square, we had a 826 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 3: shooting on Fountain Square. We've had shooting in Westwood, all 827 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 3: over the city, you know, and the mayor is under 828 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 3: tremendous pressure here because he didn't have a plan at 829 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 3: the beginning of the summer. I've had many opportunities to 830 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 3: talk to the Governor's office about when they came and 831 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 3: made the first offer, which was somewhere in May of 832 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 3: this year, and the mayor continue to turn down those 833 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 3: offers from the governor. Right, so he had played a role. 834 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 3: He has made the decision. Why is the governor's office 835 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,280 Speaker 3: only doing two times a month? 836 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 4: Now it's four now apparently the signal ninety nine and 837 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 4: I again recommend people follow signal ninety nine on Facebook. 838 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 4: She does a great job, but pointed out, well, I 839 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 4: guess the mayor has just recently decided we're going to 840 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 4: take four days to deal with a twenty four hour days, 841 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 4: seven day week problem. 842 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 3: I'm trying, I'm trying not to laugh at such a 843 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 3: serious matter, but it's it's crazy that you would think 844 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 3: that the governor is saying, listen, we'll do whatever we 845 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 3: can to help you, and the mayor saying I'll only 846 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,919 Speaker 3: accept four times. But prior to that it was only 847 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 3: two times a month. The point that I'm trying to 848 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 3: make here is that members of council who are up 849 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 3: for reelection, this mayor who is up for reelection, right, 850 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 3: they are as responsible for where we are with crime 851 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 3: in our fifty two neighborhoods. We just heard one of 852 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 3: the biggest restaurants, right, signal I think he's signal and 853 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 3: Jeff Ruby saying listen, I'm moving my catering part on 854 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 3: Seventh Street somewhere else. Now, they made a nice flowery statement, 855 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 3: but at the end of the day, everybody understands that 856 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 3: they're concerned about their employees, their cars coming in and 857 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 3: out of that location we had with the taste of 858 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 3: Belgium in OTR. They said they were moving, but they 859 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 3: gave some flowery, you know, pressure release and excuses why 860 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 3: they were leaving. At the end of the day, it's 861 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 3: coming down to crime. People are concerned about their cars, 862 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 3: their well being, their quality of life as they are 863 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 3: interacting in the downtown area. And you and I and 864 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 3: so many people have been raising concerns about the escalation 865 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 3: of this. This mayor had said, it's his perception, it's 866 00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 3: our perception that crime is down. Nobody believes that, Brian Thomas, 867 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 3: and so if it's our perception, meaning if he's saying 868 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 3: crime is down, think about what I'm about to say here. 869 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 3: You're saying the chief is doing a good job. That's 870 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 3: been your message to the entire campaign. Then why are 871 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 3: you pushing to fire the police chief. Listen, I can 872 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 3: end on that note, Yes you can. If that's a 873 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 3: narrative that, hey man, this police chief has been doing 874 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 3: a great job. That crime is down. It is all 875 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 3: of our perception, right, not our reality. Then please explain 876 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 3: to me why in the world would there be a 877 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 3: need to fire the police chief. 878 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 4: Drop the mic right there. This is a profound. 879 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a scapegoat from this mayor to try 880 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 3: to change the narrative that he's doing something or that 881 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 3: this counsel is doing something. And all I will tell 882 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 3: all all of our fifty two neighborhoods, we have an 883 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,399 Speaker 3: opportunity to do something different. You're the jury out there. 884 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 3: You have to make the decision, and I would say, 885 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 3: elects four or five new members of council that can 886 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 3: bring balance to this city and can move the needle 887 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: in the area of safety and making sure that we 888 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 3: are able to bring crime down with a plan. And 889 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 3: it includes accepting help from our partners like the governor 890 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 3: or the sheriff or whoever would like to weigh in 891 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 3: out in there. Brian, thank you so much. I don't 892 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 3: put this all at the head of this chief. I 893 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 3: think it's easy to do that. If she does leave 894 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 3: the position, and she's hearing my voice right now, I 895 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 3: want her to know that she's done a great service 896 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,479 Speaker 3: to the City of Cincinnati, just like Chief Washington did. 897 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 3: They fired Chief Washington. Most people don't know the fire 898 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 3: chief was fired and that he has won his lawsuit. 899 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 3: He's won the appeal. 900 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 4: He may be back. I gotta run, Christopher or out 901 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 4: of time man, God bless you, my friend. Six seventeen 902 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 4: vote Smithman Galaxy Concrete Codings Dot DE talk station six 903 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 4: if you have KERCD talk station looking forward to Dan 904 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 4: Hill's former FOP president with his former FOP president had on. 905 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 4: Is the chief being forced to resign? Swirling rumors about 906 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 4: that she was called back from her out of town meeting, 907 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 4: and so far the comments from the mayor's office are 908 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,839 Speaker 4: that know she's not being fired, city manager saying that, 909 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 4: but does look like she's on thin ice. And I've 910 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 4: been singing the praises a Signal ninety nine. Recommend you 911 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 4: follow her on Facebook and she's she gave the recitation 912 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 4: of this into very clear summary of where we were 913 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 4: going back to Christopher Smithman's comments earlier in the year 914 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 4: to where we are now, which seems to be a 915 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 4: mayor in desperation mode. She's right, the people of since 916 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 4: I deserve the truth, not the political theater that has 917 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,399 Speaker 4: defined city halls, handling a violent crime in downtown as 918 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 4: well as all over the city. In July, when casts 919 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 4: are upted a main national news the mayor and his 920 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 4: allies dismissed the outrageous hysteria. They stood before the cameras 921 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 4: clutching their pearls, insisting that the city of Cincinnati was safe, 922 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 4: while footage of assaults, open air fights, and chaos told 923 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 4: a very different story. Governor Mike Dewaine extended an unprecedented 924 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,759 Speaker 4: offer the full resources of the state to help restore order, 925 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 4: highway patrol, investigative support, technology assets, tools that could have 926 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 4: given the CPD the breathing room it desperately needed. Instead 927 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 4: of welcoming that help, city leaders arrogantly declined it. They 928 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 4: wanted to protect their political narrative, not their citizens. By August, 929 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 4: the pressure is too heavy to ignore, the administration quietly 930 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 4: allowed a high state patrol to handle traffic enforcement, claiming 931 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 4: it would free CPD to answer critical calls. It sounded 932 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 4: like progress, but it was a partial, face saving compromise. 933 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 4: The quote full package close quote was still off the 934 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 4: table because it would expose the depth of the crisis. 935 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 4: The city has worked so hard to downplay. In September, 936 00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 4: they relented again, finally announcing they would accept the governor help. 937 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 4: What they didn't tell you was it really for two 938 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 4: days a month two Then this month they stretched it 939 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 4: to four, four days out of thirty four days to 940 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 4: fight a twenty four to seven problem. Mayor stated that 941 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 4: over the exaggerated violence in our city was more of 942 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 4: a perception than a reality. Even worse, the mayor and 943 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 4: city Council forced the Governor's office, you're gonna love this one. 944 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,399 Speaker 4: I did not know this, and I trust signaled ninety 945 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 4: nine at her words, forced the Governor's office and multiple 946 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 4: state agencies to sit through a lecture from Iris Rowley, 947 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 4: the self opponented authority on the Collaborative Agreement, Roly, who 948 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 4: is not the director of the agreement because there is 949 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 4: no director, dictated what troopers and agents could and could 950 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 4: not do in Cincinnati, as if she held legal jurisdiction 951 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,959 Speaker 4: over them. The Governor's office, trying to help, was forced 952 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 4: to tolerate this circus to avoid political backlash from city Hall. 953 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 4: It was humiliating, not for them, but for us, for 954 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 4: this city. Has now turned to his next political scapegoat 955 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 4: police Chief Theresa Thiji, after being ordered to juggle impossible directives, 956 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 4: appease political activists, keep crime's stats control, and protect confidence 957 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 4: amid chaos, the chief is being positioned for sacrifice. It's 958 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 4: the same cynical script blame the police when the politics collapse. 959 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 4: What City Cincinnati is witnessing isn't leadership, it's manipulation. Public 960 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 4: safety is being bartered for headlines. The mayor's office continues 961 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 4: to mislead the public, minimize the scale of the state's assistance, 962 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 4: and allow unelected consultants to hold sway over law enforcement. 963 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 4: The collaborative Agreement was never meant to become a political 964 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 4: weapon or a personal platform for self promotion. Yet here 965 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 4: we are watching a city and crisis defer to a 966 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 4: consultant while the governor's troopers stand down because Iris Roley 967 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 4: said so. Four days of help per month isn't a plan, 968 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 4: it's a pr stunt. And as the mayor scrambles to 969 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 4: protect his re election campaign by three growing Chiefdiji under 970 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 4: the bus, one truth remains clear. The violence continues, the 971 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 4: spin intensifies, and the people of Cincinnati are left to 972 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 4: fend for themselves while city Hall hides bodence talking points. 973 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,320 Speaker 4: Signal ninety nine concludes, vote this mayor and city council 974 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 4: out of office next month, and the rest of the 975 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 4: trash will take care of itself, will take itself out. 976 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 4: We can start to heal as a city, clean up 977 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 4: our city and its neighborhoods. Utilize the federal courts to 978 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 4: start holding these violent criminals accountable, since so many of 979 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 4: our own county judges will not. It's just time. That's 980 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 4: the kind of thing you get from her all the time. 981 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,240 Speaker 4: So if you're out there, signal, I appreciate your words. 982 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 4: I appreciate you standing on top of things. You are 983 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 4: a refreshing voice out there. Stick around. We're gonna hit 984 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 4: you fridaye to you. Starting off with the guests right now, 985 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,800 Speaker 4: although I always consider callers guests as well. You're welcome 986 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 4: to call, but not right now because Dan Hills returns 987 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 4: former FOP president Dan Hills, putting his old FOP kind 988 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 4: of hat back on and giving us an analysis of 989 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 4: the lay of the landscape of the since a police 990 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 4: department relative to law enforcement downtown and will Chief Fiji 991 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,320 Speaker 4: be fired? Sure sounded like it was going to happen yesterday. 992 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,880 Speaker 4: Welcome back, Dan Hills. It's great having you on the show. 993 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 3: All Brian, it's good to be back. I hope you're well. 994 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 3: Hope your health as well. 995 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm doing really well. I appreciate you asking about that. 996 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Now, yes, sure, it looked like 997 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 4: calling Fiji back into town from her police chief conference 998 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,319 Speaker 4: looked like the writing was on the wall, although there 999 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 4: was what I would call backpedaling if they had made 1000 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,720 Speaker 4: the decision to fire her. It has not happened yet, 1001 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 4: But do you get the impression that Fiji's on thin 1002 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 4: ice and it's just the shoe just hasn't dropped yet. 1003 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's obviously the thing bring her back 1004 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 3: from Denver, which you know in something I have commentary 1005 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 3: rights here, you know. I don't think going out of 1006 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 3: town to a chief conference during this time of increased 1007 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 3: scrutiny and the violence on the streets and all that 1008 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 3: thing was probably the best the best picture to present 1009 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 3: of the police department or her leadership. 1010 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 4: Well better that than well watching while the city burns. 1011 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 3: And it was I don't think it was a good idea. 1012 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 3: But yeah, I didn't know where you were going to go. 1013 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 3: If you just ask me, my opinion of the. 1014 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 4: Chiefs or well, that's a separate here. 1015 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 2: You're the host, I'll no, no. 1016 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 4: No, I think that's a completely separate issue, and it's 1017 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 4: a worthy issue to address because you know, you still 1018 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 4: stay in touch with active members since a law enforcement 1019 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 4: I bet you have a pretty good idea about their 1020 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 4: perception of whether Police Chief three Strategi's doing a good 1021 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 4: job or not. I've had people tell me one way 1022 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,719 Speaker 4: or another, and I have my own perceptions along those lines. 1023 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 4: But that's why we have you on the show. So 1024 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 4: how she fares among the ranks is one thing. And 1025 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 4: if we had the old system before this, you know, 1026 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,959 Speaker 4: issue five thing, the rank and file would decide whether 1027 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 4: or not they wanted to cling to her correct. 1028 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,240 Speaker 3: Yes, And I you know, issue five is a discussion 1029 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 3: of its own And I was. I was, and to 1030 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 3: Christopher Smotherman on there, and let's hope to god he 1031 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 3: gets elected and Steve Gooden gets elected and there is 1032 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,919 Speaker 3: some change in some change of thought down at city Hall. 1033 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 3: But that's what I guess I wanted to say about 1034 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,920 Speaker 3: the chief in my opinion, that she's more of a 1035 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 3: symptom of a problem in a sense than the problem. 1036 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 3: I think she's done a better job than I expected. 1037 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,319 Speaker 3: I don't make any secrets about it. I was not 1038 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:28,240 Speaker 3: supporting her. I was still the president when she got appointed. 1039 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 3: I was pulling for Lisa Davis. And I was only 1040 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 3: pulling for Lisa Davis because I was listening. I want 1041 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 3: to say only, but I was mostly pulling for Lisa 1042 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 3: Davis because that's what my cops are telling me. So 1043 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 3: it was like, this is an easy one. I got 1044 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 3: all these cops call me and saying, yeah, can you 1045 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,879 Speaker 3: get can you get anything done? And I remember being 1046 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 3: disappointed in city at city Hall, namely Cheryl Long, because 1047 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 3: she went on this last second tour of talking to 1048 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 3: the cops when I knew she had already decided. I 1049 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,440 Speaker 3: had a good source inside city Hall that said she 1050 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 3: had ready to but then she heard the controversy that 1051 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 3: was out there. I was putting it out there that 1052 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 3: the cops far preferred Lisa Davis, who went on to 1053 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,280 Speaker 3: UH to be the chief in Austin, Texas. 1054 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 2: But just so I'm not. 1055 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,720 Speaker 3: Here, you know, celebrating this trouble rating. 1056 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:17,839 Speaker 2: I think that. 1057 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 3: Terry has done a better job than what I had expected. 1058 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 3: Hansom downside, I guess anybody would and and and it's 1059 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 3: easy to sit outside and be a critic and throw darts. 1060 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 3: But you know again, I think the reason she got 1061 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 3: the job as part of the the symptom of the disease, 1062 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 3: and and that is you're far left activism within city 1063 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,919 Speaker 3: Hall to the point where they hire somebody like Irish Rolli, 1064 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 3: which we could talk about we will rest the show 1065 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 3: right well, so you know, and so you hire somebody 1066 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:59,319 Speaker 3: like uh Terry Tigi who had gone in there and 1067 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 3: willing to it down and and and play with Irish Rely. 1068 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 3: Can you imagine uh uh back in the day you 1069 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 3: mentioned Striker or Smitherman mentioned Striker, that's the last guy 1070 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 3: in their old system. Would he have would he have 1071 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 3: paid attention to her or cared what she said? 1072 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 2: Ever? 1073 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 3: Hell only to criticize there is the only time he 1074 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 3: would have spoke up in his mind. And even under 1075 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 3: their new system of hiring and and and and keeping chiefs. 1076 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,480 Speaker 3: Can you imagine if James Craig would have. 1077 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 2: Had a deal with Iris Rely, you would have he 1078 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 2: would have come. 1079 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 3: Out publicly and and uh and condemned her for the 1080 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 3: dingaling that she is. So you know, you put somebody 1081 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 3: into place and part of her marching orders and part 1082 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 3: of what I assume I said, I don't know this 1083 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 3: for a fact. Part of what she agreed to to 1084 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 3: to get the appointment was that she would she would 1085 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 3: play along with Iris and all that silliness that that 1086 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 3: that goes on with that. 1087 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 4: So you're illustrating the political reality that that job became 1088 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 4: once the city manager and the mayor had the sole 1089 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 4: power to hire and fire, then they really are at 1090 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 4: the whim of the directive of the city manager and mayor. 1091 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 4: If you don't follow my directive, you're going to lose 1092 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 4: your job. So let's hold I'm just going to stop there. 1093 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 4: That's my thought. We'll let you respond and we will 1094 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 4: bring up virus role among other topics with Dan Hill's 1095 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 4: former FOP president right let talk Station six on a 1096 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 4: Thursday Bright timeAs with former FOP president Dan Hill talking 1097 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 4: about the situation going in downtown Cincaia. He looks like 1098 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 4: the chief TG's job me Figi's job may be on 1099 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 4: the line, sort of speculation, wondering about back and forth. 1100 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 4: Of course, exclusive control over her position held by mayor 1101 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,439 Speaker 4: Aftab Purvol and Sherry Long didn't used to be that way. 1102 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:37,320 Speaker 4: But now we have the involvement and that you mentioned 1103 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 4: Iris Roli before and I wanted to see if you 1104 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 4: have confirmation on something I read from our friend Signal 1105 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 4: ninety nine. I think she is at least a former, 1106 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 4: if not current, police officer, but she's always standing up 1107 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 4: on these issues. So follow her on Facebook. She said, 1108 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 4: with regard to the Governor's office and him providing the 1109 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 4: state agency resources that Mayor aftab Purvol took a little 1110 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 4: bit of she gave them a lecture, and I just 1111 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 4: I can read the quote here even worst Mayrin City 1112 00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 4: Council force the Governor's office, multiple state agencies to sit 1113 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 4: through a lecture from Iris Rowley fast forward a little bit. 1114 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 4: Not the director of the collaborative agreement because there isn't one, 1115 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 4: but dictated to the troopers what the agents could and 1116 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,440 Speaker 4: could not do in the city of Cincinnati. Did she 1117 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 4: really do that? Did she did she speak to all 1118 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 4: the officers that were coming in from the from the state. 1119 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 3: You know, I don't have confirmation of that, and that 1120 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 3: might be a little bit of the difference between me 1121 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 3: and ninety nine. I think that we comment on a 1122 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 3: lot of the same things, and where you obviously have 1123 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 3: the same political feelings as those she's got Right now 1124 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 3: at this stage of my life, she's got more sources 1125 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 3: than I do, and she's definitely working at her page 1126 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 3: and stuff harder than I work mine. But I'll say this, 1127 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 3: it sounds likely to me because that's the way that 1128 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 3: things work in the city, which brings me around full 1129 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 3: circle to where do you go next? And I think 1130 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 3: it to hear Cobra if he was on this morning, 1131 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 3: but I did. I did read this statement that they 1132 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 3: put out, uh saying that you know that the police 1133 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 3: chief isn't the problem, which is kind of what I'm 1134 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 3: doubling down on. But but my thing is, where do 1135 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,880 Speaker 3: you go next? How can you get a quality person 1136 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 3: in here to be the police chief when you still 1137 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 3: have Irish Rolli on your payroll? 1138 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 2: And they they I. 1139 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 3: Think they actually believe that Irish. 1140 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 2: Roly has like a. 1141 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 3: Riot button in her den or something that she can 1142 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 3: push a button and cause a riot, and that's why 1143 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 3: they bow to her. And I don't think she has 1144 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 3: that much power. I think the only power she has 1145 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 3: is the power they give her. So I mean, it's 1146 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 3: it's insanity on top of insanity. You you have a 1147 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 3: law and order problem. Do you hire somebody that is 1148 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 3: an anti law order person to go up to go 1149 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 3: out and and rile up the masses from time to time? 1150 01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 3: And it's it's almost like an alternate reality. It's hard 1151 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 3: to believe that the city does that, that they hire 1152 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 3: this lady and that you know, the only reason that 1153 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 3: I think they could is because again they think that 1154 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:13,280 Speaker 3: she has the power to uh let loose uh you know, 1155 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 3: all the all the use and cause and cause some 1156 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 3: sort of commotion. And I don't think I don't think 1157 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,959 Speaker 3: that she has that power. So yes, I can see 1158 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 3: her speaking to the troopers and stuff. Enough I was 1159 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 3: the troopers or the commander of the camp the troopers, 1160 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 3: I would I would get all my people up and say, 1161 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 3: let's go we listen to this this malarkey. We're down 1162 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 3: here to help the city with a crime problem. Not listen, uh, 1163 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,360 Speaker 3: not listen to her. So that's the that's the back 1164 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 3: to the symptom rather than the disease. They they they 1165 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 3: they only are going to appoint somebody. And I think 1166 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 3: that's part of what cover statement that I want to 1167 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 3: double down on us is the chief isn't the problem? 1168 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 3: You know, I can like I said, I can sit 1169 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 3: there and nitpick a couple of things, and I could 1170 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 3: also compliment a couple of things. But the problem started 1171 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 3: because I think she agreed to be their yes person. 1172 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 4: Right, Okay, Okay. Then she got the job for agreeing 1173 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 4: to be a yes person for a woke pretty much 1174 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 4: anti police administration, a rethink the police administration, or a 1175 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 4: defund the police administration. I think Iris Rollie was part 1176 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 4: of that entire movement. So you, I think, in defending 1177 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 4: your you're also pointing out a criticism. A strong chief 1178 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 4: who knows how to conduct law enforcement, how to manage 1179 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 4: police resources, would stand in defiance to a directive that 1180 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 4: was counter to what her perception of proper law enforcement is. Okay, Yeah, 1181 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 4: I was appointed by the city manager and mayor. I 1182 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 4: know they want to go this direction, but I think 1183 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 4: it's bad for the city for the following reasons. She 1184 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 4: runs the risk of losing your job for you know, 1185 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 4: rejecting something that they told her. But it would show 1186 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 4: that she is independent and of thought, of mind, and 1187 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 4: independent of you know, the direction the police need to go. 1188 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 4: So I think that's true. She's not She's not. 1189 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 3: She's not She's not independent I think she was Chryl 1190 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 3: Long's girl from the get go. I mean, look, I 1191 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:13,160 Speaker 3: was pulling for Lisa Davis, somebody that I don't necessarily 1192 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,400 Speaker 3: hang out with politically, shall I say? She is a 1193 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 3: friend and I and I thought she was a better 1194 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 3: natural leader. And you know that's and and again, I 1195 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 3: think I think Terry is a nice person. I think 1196 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,480 Speaker 3: she's very smart and qualified, but she doesn't have that 1197 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 3: whatever it is that that that certain leaders had that 1198 01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 3: get people to fall where I thought Lisa had more 1199 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 3: of that. Lisa politically and I are are are our 1200 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,479 Speaker 3: world's apart. But I just thought that she she would 1201 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 3: be more of that natural leader. And I also think 1202 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 3: Lisa has stood up to him on some different things 1203 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 3: that made her not not their pick. And so until 1204 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 3: you fix the system, and this is where you know, 1205 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:57,040 Speaker 3: like I said, double amount of look over said with 1206 01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 3: issue five, and mister Spiderman said, until double down on 1207 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 3: the system, change the system, then then then nothing's going 1208 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 3: to get better. And I don't think you're going to 1209 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 3: get anybody of any quality, at least not from outside 1210 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 3: of the agency to come in and an inside I 1211 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 3: don't know either if they're going to get somebody that's 1212 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 3: very interested in this because you you either have to 1213 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 3: compromise yourself or risk risk risk risk what is might 1214 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 3: might or likely happen to terry. 1215 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 4: Something that this issue five created. It highly politicized the 1216 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 4: job and tied the hands of the police chief in 1217 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,200 Speaker 4: the city of Cincinnati. Ken, let's stop and we'll bring 1218 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 4: you back and get a couple of final words on 1219 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,440 Speaker 4: the Dan. I'm sorry, I was thinking that I was 1220 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 4: looking up my interview with uh with Ken was on 1221 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 4: the fourteenth. You can go to fifty five KRC dot 1222 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 4: com check of the podcast that I was searching for 1223 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 4: that since you brought him up in my conversation earlier 1224 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 4: in this week one more with kr CB talk station. 1225 01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 4: He Riday he ring with Thomas with FOP former FFP 1226 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 4: president Dan Hills. Dan, obviously, I think everyone can. Everyone 1227 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 4: can all political stripes can agree that may have to 1228 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 4: had pur Ball in a reactive mode. Wasn't out getting 1229 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 4: in front of crime issues. Crimes I guess has started building. 1230 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,960 Speaker 4: We've got a societal breakdown problem, regardless of the genesis 1231 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 4: of it. His answer to it has been only to 1232 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 4: recently create and enforce the curfew. Now he's extended the 1233 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 4: hours of the curfew. But the curfew it is what 1234 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 4: it is. It's only a forced in certain neighborhoods. And 1235 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 4: I kind of scratched my head and wonder about it. 1236 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 4: There's fifty two neighborhoods in the city. What about the 1237 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 4: other neighborhoods where the curfew doesn't exist. I know they 1238 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 4: have crime problems there, but also the idea of putting 1239 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,640 Speaker 4: swat and other police resources on Fountain Square at least 1240 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 4: at a larger presence until ten pm, I thought all 1241 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 4: the crap hit the fan. I know it happens during 1242 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 4: the day, but a lot of the criminal activity takes 1243 01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,440 Speaker 4: place after ten pm. So I just wanted your reaction 1244 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 4: to his most recent reactive efforts to deal with crime. 1245 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 3: But you know, you just you just sat right there. 1246 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 3: Reacting is never as good as being proactive, you know. 1247 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 3: But also, I'm gonna I'm going to say the same 1248 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 3: thing you've kind of said too, that the country and 1249 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 3: the big parts of the community are in a speech, spiritual, 1250 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 3: and cultural crisis. I mean, that's that's beyond the mayor's control, 1251 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 3: the chiefs control, and everybody else. It's and and then 1252 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,720 Speaker 3: the next step down is the state doesn't have enough 1253 01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 3: prison space for all the thuggery that needs to go 1254 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 3: to jail and stay in jail. And I don't know, 1255 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 3: if you know, taxpayers up here in Moren County and 1256 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,520 Speaker 3: everybody else are necessarily going to want end on what 1257 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 3: it would take to house all the bad guys that 1258 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 3: we have in this state. And so this, you know, 1259 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 3: there's there's a problem there. The county judges, Oh my gosh, 1260 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 3: you've covered that all the time. And ninety you talked 1261 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 3: about ninety nine. She likes to she likes to bring 1262 01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 3: up in detail the insanity that you have accounting judges. 1263 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 3: So you have all that, and then so what do 1264 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 3: you do. You get reactive because there's stuff beyond your 1265 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 3: control and like to swat the CDRT stuff. All that 1266 01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 3: is doing is Robin Peter to pay Paul. You know, 1267 01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 3: most of our SWAT members are CDR Team members. They're 1268 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 3: all in different assignments, and a whole lot of those 1269 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 3: assignments are patrol people and districts two, three, and four, 1270 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 3: And so now you're you're bringing them down. 1271 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 2: Well that you. 1272 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 3: Can't be two places at one time, right, and you 1273 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 3: can only work so much over time, and still be effective. 1274 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 3: So while I agree if I was, if I was 1275 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 3: the chief, or if Joe Strucker was the chief and 1276 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 3: I was advising, because I don't want to be your chief, 1277 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 3: but if I were there, I understand wanting to have 1278 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 3: those central business districts feel and be one hundred percent safe, 1279 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 3: and the best way you can do that is to 1280 01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,520 Speaker 3: occupy with an occupy an army. 1281 01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 2: If you would. 1282 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 3: Back to the one hundred and fifty to two hundred 1283 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 3: cops that were short, maybe we even need to reconsider 1284 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 3: the complement of cops. But that takes us back to 1285 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 3: who wants to come work here. Been harder to get 1286 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 3: people to come to a police department a city that 1287 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 3: hires Irish role And one of my favorite topics in 1288 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 3: my years there the CCA, which is an anti police organization. 1289 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 3: So we're paying, we're paying tax dollars to have people 1290 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,519 Speaker 3: that go out there and handicap the police department. I 1291 01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 3: don't know how many times I can use the word 1292 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,639 Speaker 3: insane in a single guest appearance on your show, Brian 1293 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,519 Speaker 3: to where you get tire, you got to come up, 1294 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,679 Speaker 3: you got to come up with some different terms there, Dan, 1295 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 3: But it's insane. I mean it is insane that to 1296 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 3: have the CCA and have it operate like it does. 1297 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 3: It's insane to have Irish Roly and have her on 1298 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 3: the payroll. And so then you end up getting reactive 1299 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 3: and doing stuff like working people after death to have 1300 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,600 Speaker 3: presence in your central business district that you should have. Anyway, 1301 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 3: if you had the proper number of cops. What's that 1302 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,160 Speaker 3: proper number, I don't know. I would I would say, 1303 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 3: you know, it might be approaching like fourteen hundred cops 1304 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:10,720 Speaker 3: or something that you would like to have in a 1305 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 3: city this size with the crime problems that it has 1306 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,560 Speaker 3: and the people that come into here for business and entertainment. 1307 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,240 Speaker 3: So you can't just go, oh, look, you know, we're 1308 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 3: about the same size as you know, Salt Lake City 1309 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 3: or whatever. I don't know, any think about the size 1310 01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 3: of Salt Lake City if they have a totally different 1311 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,600 Speaker 3: demographic and crime problem and don't have professional teams and 1312 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 3: all the other stuff. 1313 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,640 Speaker 2: We need more cops. You know. 1314 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 3: We can't control the spiritual and cultural crisis that's in 1315 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:44,200 Speaker 3: this country and in our communities. We can't control what's 1316 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 3: going on as a state. The one thing we can 1317 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 3: do is we can have more cops. And that's not 1318 01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 3: the chief problem, at least not alone. The city halls 1319 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 3: problem that they haven't gone out there and been the 1320 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 3: city that people want to come and work for and 1321 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 3: then go and get the people that you need to 1322 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 3: have that presence to do the best you can under 1323 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,879 Speaker 3: really bad circumstances here in the country. 1324 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 4: Nop've been complaining about the lack of police office for 1325 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 4: a long time. Pervall even said he wants to increase 1326 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 4: the compliment. But the big hurdle here is getting the 1327 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 4: bodies to apply. Whether they're going through an academy class 1328 01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 4: from start or they're a lateral hire.

Nice to 1346 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 7: talk with you, Brian. 1347 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:11,639 Speaker 4: So you're still on recess. 1348 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,439 Speaker 7: Correct, Well, you know it's hard to call it that. 1349 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 7: It's a shutdown. So you know, we're just trying to 1350 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,960 Speaker 7: make lemonade out of the lemons that Democrats are handing 1351 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 7: out here. Look, how did we get here? Look, Republicans said, Look, 1352 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,559 Speaker 7: we haven't agreed to fund the government the way that 1353 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 7: we want to as the majority party. So let's just 1354 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 7: call a truce and we'll pass a continuing resolution the 1355 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,880 Speaker 7: funds of the government at status quo levels, which is 1356 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,679 Speaker 7: the same thing that Democrats voted for when they had 1357 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 7: the majority in the Senate and controlled the White House, 1358 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:47,719 Speaker 7: and it's the same thing they voted for in March 1359 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 7: to keep the government funded for now, So we haven't 1360 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,320 Speaker 7: passed a true Republican funding priority right now. We did 1361 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,880 Speaker 7: change mandatory spending and we did, you know, do recisions, 1362 01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 7: and that's part of what's in their build. They want 1363 01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,120 Speaker 7: to undo the things that we did with our majority, 1364 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 7: and then they want to double down and add new 1365 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 7: spending stuff that they added when they were in the 1366 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,240 Speaker 7: majority but got no Republican votes. And as a condition 1367 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,599 Speaker 7: of opening the government, they were one and a half 1368 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 7: trillion dollars worth of funding priorities, and they were kind 1369 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 7: enough to list it out in writing. I mean, some 1370 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 7: of the stuff's crazy. 1371 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 4: Well, I couldn't agree with you more. That's the setup 1372 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,640 Speaker 4: for the shutdown, and I you know, ownership of the shutdown. 1373 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,400 Speaker 4: I hate this argument who gets blamed for it among 1374 01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 4: the American people. But let me just this. You mentioned 1375 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,720 Speaker 4: we can turn lemonade out of the lemons that we 1376 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 4: were dealt with here, and one of those things might 1377 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 4: be firing a bunch of people. And so I have 1378 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 4: to ask you this because it was just the other 1379 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,839 Speaker 4: day that a federal judge put an injunction on holding 1380 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 4: these firings, granting a temporary straining order blocking the job cuts, 1381 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 4: saying that the judge herself believes the ad evidence would 1382 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 4: ultimately show that the cuts are illegal and in access 1383 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 4: of Donald Trump's authority. So I'm thinking about that, under 1384 01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 4: what circumstance can one of these people be fired? Is 1385 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,800 Speaker 4: it always for cause? Or here's a better question. I 1386 01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,799 Speaker 4: look and I see Nessley is slashing sixteen thousand jobs 1387 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 4: private company. They're slashing it in order to bring about 1388 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:14,120 Speaker 4: greater efficiency and greater profit. If Donald Trump does that, 1389 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,799 Speaker 4: because we have a government that is way too damn big, 1390 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,320 Speaker 4: is it a political decision to right size the government 1391 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 4: get rid of the excess the phrase of the doubling 1392 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:27,479 Speaker 4: down of efforts by various different agencies within the government 1393 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,400 Speaker 4: that all seem to be working toward the same goal. 1394 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,840 Speaker 4: Can't this be used as an opportunity to streamline the 1395 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,640 Speaker 4: government for the benefit of the American taxpayer. That's not 1396 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 4: a political motivation. It's a financial motivation, is it not? 1397 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1398 01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,519 Speaker 7: And look fair enough. You know Democrats might feel like 1399 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 7: an agency that we feel is is it serving its purpose? 1400 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:50,559 Speaker 2: They might agree that. 1401 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 7: They might think, oh, this is doing great things. You know, 1402 01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:56,599 Speaker 7: we created this back in the thirties when FDR was president, 1403 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 7: and so it must always exist. And it's like having 1404 01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,040 Speaker 7: a starting pitch. Sure that, Okay, you've done a nice job, 1405 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:03,879 Speaker 7: but we're going down to the bullpen. 1406 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 2: You know, congrats. 1407 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:06,760 Speaker 7: You don't have to be mean about it and say, hey, 1408 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 7: thanks for your service, but it's time to move on. 1409 01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 7: And that's the kind of thing that we have with 1410 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,080 Speaker 7: a lot of our government structures, things that have served 1411 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,639 Speaker 7: their purpose and aren't doing it well. I mean, one 1412 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 7: example is of the United Nations. You know, they were 1413 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,599 Speaker 7: created in the wake of World War two to promote peace. 1414 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 7: They don't do a good job of promoting peace. We're 1415 01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 7: funding them within the borders of our own country, and 1416 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:29,719 Speaker 7: what we find they're doing with some of the money 1417 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 7: is giving money to fuel this invasion of our country 1418 01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,120 Speaker 7: of illegals. Now they want to put on a carbon tax, 1419 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 7: all kinds of crazy stuff that they're doing to undermine 1420 01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,120 Speaker 7: our own sovereignty. You look at the European Union, that 1421 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 7: was also a vision to kind of create peace amongst 1422 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 7: the European countries. They're facilitating an invasion of Europe of 1423 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 7: all these you know migrants, and a lot of them 1424 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 7: are from Muslim countries. You know that none of these 1425 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,719 Speaker 7: guys migrate to Muslim countries. They're not like flooding Saudi Arabia. 1426 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,639 Speaker 7: They're flooding Europe. And look, Europe can do what they 1427 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 7: want to with Europe, but they're asking us to pull 1428 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 7: security for them with NATO, so we're pouring all of 1429 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,919 Speaker 7: our dollars over there. And meanwhile you've got people leaving 1430 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,200 Speaker 7: the United Kingdom, leaving France, leaving Germany, going to places 1431 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,960 Speaker 7: like Hungary to claim asylum so they won't get put 1432 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 7: in jail for posting amme. I mean, it's crazy world 1433 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 7: that we're in right now. 1434 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 4: It is, and you know, to that point, in a 1435 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 4: variety of other points, Europe has drifted into something that 1436 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:34,639 Speaker 4: we normally reject politically, socialism, you know, at the wide 1437 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:38,400 Speaker 4: open borders, the disruption of cultural norms and societal norms, 1438 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 4: all that. I guess part of me wants to know 1439 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 4: why we still consider them allies to a certain degree. 1440 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 4: I mean, we're funding their police force. In essence, our 1441 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:50,080 Speaker 4: American military has provided them defense now since World War Two. 1442 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's taking great steps to force them to actually 1443 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,120 Speaker 4: protect and defend themselves. Help me, help you, basically, says 1444 01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. So I guess this connection with Western Europe. 1445 01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,160 Speaker 4: I don't really think it is what it used to be. 1446 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,679 Speaker 4: Congressman Davidson, Well. 1447 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 7: Here's the thing. I mean, we used to have bipartisan 1448 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,160 Speaker 7: kind of view of foreign affairs a lot of times 1449 01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,879 Speaker 7: in the country. But now Democrats that Democrats are essentially 1450 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 7: the leadership of the European Union. I mean, they have 1451 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,799 Speaker 7: the same objectives and they want to do to America 1452 01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 7: what they're doing to Europe. And California. I mean, Gavin 1453 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:27,920 Speaker 7: Newsom wants to be our next president, and you're looking 1454 01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 7: at let's check the results here, buddy. No, you've wrecked 1455 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 7: your country, You've wrecked your state. We certainly don't want 1456 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 7: you to come do that to America and stay the 1457 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,200 Speaker 7: heck out of Ohio. So, I mean, this is the 1458 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 7: kind of thing, and it's all in their list. I mean, 1459 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,120 Speaker 7: if you look at the funding that Chuck Schumer lists 1460 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 7: out to say hey, we want one and a half 1461 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 7: trillion dollars of new spending or restored spending, they're basically saying, hey, 1462 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,000 Speaker 7: we want to keep giving health care to illegals. We 1463 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 7: want to take the fifty billion dollar fund that Republicans 1464 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,759 Speaker 7: gave to rural hospitals, and we want to turn that off. 1465 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,600 Speaker 7: We'll think of the crazy thing there. We're going to 1466 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 7: take your money and give it to illegal aliens. And 1467 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,920 Speaker 7: then we have rural hospitals and you know, vast parts 1468 01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 7: of America that okay, not the heaviest population, you're going 1469 01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,400 Speaker 7: to take that money and give even more of it 1470 01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 7: to illegals. I mean, some of the stuff that they're 1471 01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,879 Speaker 7: talking about with healthcare that they want to do aside 1472 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:25,880 Speaker 7: from the illegals is really. 1473 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:26,639 Speaker 2: COVID plus ups. 1474 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,200 Speaker 7: We gave we had a pandemic, we plused up money 1475 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 7: for COVID, right, And they're like, oh, well you can't 1476 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 7: turn that off. Well, pandemics over why wouldn't we turn 1477 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 7: it off? 1478 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 4: Well? And that bill that had the expiration data, and 1479 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 4: it was written by the Democrat's own hand, they're the 1480 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,240 Speaker 4: ones that put the cutoff data in there. They're the 1481 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 4: ones that voted for that, and lo and behold, the 1482 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,120 Speaker 4: date's coming. And so they want to extend it. Like 1483 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,320 Speaker 4: every other government program, once it's alive and in operation, 1484 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 4: it can never ever go away. That's their position on 1485 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 4: these tax credits. 1486 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 7: Yeah, which brings us back to Trump's and eliminade business. 1487 01:17:59,600 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 2: Right. 1488 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 7: Hey, we said keep the government open. You're not keeping 1489 01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,680 Speaker 7: it open. We get a certain amount of cash in 1490 01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,679 Speaker 7: the vaults, so we're gonna make sure we do things 1491 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 7: like pay our troops. We're going to operate the Fund 1492 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 7: for Women and Infant Children, you know, the WICK program 1493 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,760 Speaker 7: out there that gives baby formula and diapers to new 1494 01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:22,120 Speaker 7: mothers that are needy. And Democrats are threatening to sue 1495 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 7: the Trump administration. Thus the judge you're referencing to say, well, 1496 01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 7: you can't do that. It's not legal for you to 1497 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,720 Speaker 7: fund the troops. It's not legal for you to give 1498 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,759 Speaker 7: money to needy mothers. I think how far off course 1499 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 7: Democrats are with where they're at. They're like, well, if 1500 01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 7: Trump's for it, it must be bad. You're like, you 1501 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,880 Speaker 7: guys need to pull up and check what you're doing here. 1502 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 7: And they're just way at a sink. And I think 1503 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 7: eventually they're gonna get pressure from the public to say 1504 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 7: knock it off unless get the government open and get 1505 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,479 Speaker 7: things underway. But in the meantime, I think the Trump 1506 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 7: administras is gonna do exactly what you said. They're gonna 1507 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,439 Speaker 7: right size it. They're gonna get it to say, yeah, 1508 01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,559 Speaker 7: this over here doesn't even function right anymore, and they 1509 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 7: put all that stuff in a budget. Generally, Congress, even 1510 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,080 Speaker 7: when it's our own party, ignores the White House budget 1511 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,200 Speaker 7: and just keeps the status quo going. But here's a 1512 01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 7: chance for us to break from it. Who knows, maybe 1513 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,600 Speaker 7: when Republicans come back in. We've got a majority in 1514 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 7: the House. Technically there's a bipartisan majority in the Senate. 1515 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 7: Democrats have joined with Republicans in the Senate, they got 1516 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 7: up to fifty six. I think they're down to fifty 1517 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 7: one senators. I don't know who's present and who's as in, 1518 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 7: but they've they've voted like nine times in the Senate. 1519 01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 7: They've always had a majority to keep the government open. 1520 01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,639 Speaker 7: But their rules in the Senate say sixty. I mean, 1521 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,320 Speaker 7: that's one of the things we could do is just 1522 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 7: to quote nuclear option on funding and then we'll just 1523 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 7: pass Republican priorities. I don't know if that's where it leads, 1524 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 7: but in the meantime, lemonade. 1525 01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 4: There you go. And there's always a question of you know, 1526 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,800 Speaker 4: there is a potential for a change in administration. If 1527 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 4: you give this nuclear option to go, it's going to 1528 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 4: exist for the next administration. And God knows what that 1529 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 4: might lead to. Congressman Warren Davidson, let's pause. I have 1530 01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 4: one question to ask you about the UN, since you 1531 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:05,680 Speaker 4: brought up the carbon tax, but I also want to 1532 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:09,680 Speaker 4: pivot over to the situation unfolded. Brother dre Andre un 1533 01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,120 Speaker 4: comeing up the bottom of the hour on the police 1534 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 4: chief threes a thigi thing, the violence of downten cents, 1535 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 4: and he outspoken. He is follow him online and Congressman 1536 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,680 Speaker 4: Warren Davids is on the program right now, and thank 1537 01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,479 Speaker 4: you for your service for our country. I was pleased 1538 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,240 Speaker 4: to see at least Donald Trump is making sure the 1539 01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,799 Speaker 4: troops are going to get paid. Obviously a huge support 1540 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 4: of America's military, am I and I know that it's 1541 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 4: near and dear topic to your heart, But that's only 1542 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:33,160 Speaker 4: gonna be a temporary fix. We got to get the 1543 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 4: government back open. But since you mentioned the UN, and 1544 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 4: I've obviously profound disappointment and are even involving ourselves with 1545 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:40,760 Speaker 4: the UN because it doesn't seem to be able to 1546 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,519 Speaker 4: accomplish anything. But they did come out with this proposal 1547 01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,280 Speaker 4: to start levying global taxes on countries in the name 1548 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 4: of I don't know, global warming or whatever. I just 1549 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 4: have a simple question. Assuming I'm president of the United 1550 01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 4: States of America, and I have two words for the 1551 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 4: UN in holding its hand out and asking me to 1552 01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,719 Speaker 4: write a check. I got two words. Date happy birthday. 1553 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 4: As my dad would say, How can they force us 1554 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 4: or any other country to pay anything? What if the 1555 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,080 Speaker 4: collective world just said, you know what, screw you. You 1556 01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,160 Speaker 4: don't have any authority to collect at tax from us? 1557 01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:13,679 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think that's exactly what's going to happen. 1558 01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,560 Speaker 7: We're not going to pay at tax to them. No 1559 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,960 Speaker 7: one owes them attacks. They have no authority to collect 1560 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,880 Speaker 7: at tax. But this is the kind of stuff that 1561 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 7: they're over there working on with. I mean, they're essentially 1562 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 7: a charitable organization funded by governments from all over the world, 1563 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 7: and they send people there to, you know, essentially trample 1564 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 7: on American sovereignty. And yeah, if you're anti American, you 1565 01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 7: could go, yeah, hwan's great. It's helping us undermine our adversaries. 1566 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,960 Speaker 7: But if you're in the United States or one of 1567 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 7: our allies, you're like, what are you guys doing again? 1568 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,240 Speaker 7: I mean, what have they done that's productive? If you 1569 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 7: look up and say, in the last fifty years, What 1570 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 7: are the highlight reel out of the UN? And I 1571 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 7: can't find any? 1572 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,720 Speaker 4: Well, you know what wasn't the theories behind even establishing 1573 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,519 Speaker 4: or creating a UN following the failure that was the 1574 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 4: League of Nation sort of create a peaceful world for 1575 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 4: us all to live in. Where the hell was the 1576 01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,640 Speaker 4: UN when Donald Trump was negotiating peace with the Israelis 1577 01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,559 Speaker 4: in the Hamas members well. 1578 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 2: Or any other any other. 1579 01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, when's the last time? 1580 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:18,160 Speaker 2: When's the last? 1581 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,639 Speaker 7: I mean, they're not doing it, and they're not getting results, 1582 01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 7: and they're not even helping the people that are doing it. 1583 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 7: In fact, often they're undermining. And that's I thought the 1584 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 7: Donald Trump's UN speech was great. I mean I just 1585 01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 7: laid it out. I was like, yeah, uh, you know 1586 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 7: the eight places that we negotiated peace, I didn't even 1587 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:35,680 Speaker 7: get a phone call. 1588 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they got no. 1589 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,920 Speaker 7: Help at all, nothing whatsoever from the group that's actually 1590 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,200 Speaker 7: supposed to be doing this right, and they haven't produced it. 1591 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,160 Speaker 7: And when you find out, look, what has what is Hama? 1592 01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 7: What has Hamas got to do with the peace in 1593 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 7: the UN? Well, the UN was funding UNRA, which was 1594 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 7: supposed to help with refugees, and they were actively enabling Hamas. 1595 01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,920 Speaker 7: I mean, these are the kinds of things where the 1596 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 7: UN has actually been co opted to undermine peace, not 1597 01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 7: to promote it. 1598 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 4: So my suspicion has always been the only reason we 1599 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,879 Speaker 4: remain in the UN, considering its ongoing efforts to undermine 1600 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 4: everything that we stand for. It's a base of operations 1601 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,479 Speaker 4: for the CIA to gather intelligence from these various countries 1602 01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 4: around the world. Am I right? Am I wrong? You 1603 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 4: think I'm close? It sounds plausible, Yeah, okay, plausible is 1604 01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:28,080 Speaker 4: good enough from a Congressman Arn Davidson who has security clearances. 1605 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,200 Speaker 4: All right. Moving over to the situation in Gaza, it 1606 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 4: sounds like, I mean, a glorious day. The hostages were release. 1607 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 4: The world celebrated that the bullets weren't flying. But the 1608 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,240 Speaker 4: devil's always in the details, as I wanted, I'm prone 1609 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,719 Speaker 4: to saying all the time. And I read this morning 1610 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 4: and yesterday in the day before the Hamas people are 1611 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 4: going around and gunning down Palestinians, those that they claim 1612 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,040 Speaker 4: we're working in cooperation with the Israelis or at least 1613 01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,519 Speaker 4: incoordinated effort to undermine Hamas. They're slaughtering their own people. 1614 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 4: Donald Trump has said they have to disarm, and I 1615 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,679 Speaker 4: would think disarmament would mean taking away the AK forty 1616 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 4: seven's used to well murder members of Palestinian people. But 1617 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:11,559 Speaker 4: is this going to last? Do you get a sense 1618 01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 4: that this is actually going to take hold? Is this 1619 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 4: just the last gasp of Hamas getting it out of 1620 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 4: its system before it's completely thrown out? 1621 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1622 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,800 Speaker 7: Now, look, there was not a total victory here, so 1623 01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 7: you know, this was not an unconditional surrender by Hamas. 1624 01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 7: It was essentially a negotiated settlement. 1625 01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 3: Short of that. 1626 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:34,600 Speaker 7: So a lot of the Hamas military, the leadership that 1627 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 7: remained alive, but a lot of them were killed by Israel. 1628 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:43,679 Speaker 7: But the remnant is now converting themselves into a quote 1629 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,559 Speaker 7: police force. And what are they doing with their policing. Well, 1630 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 7: it's not like you know, our Bill of Rights or anything. 1631 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:55,840 Speaker 7: They're just saying, look, these guys are anti Hamas and 1632 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,320 Speaker 7: they're open to working with Israel, and they want to 1633 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:03,720 Speaker 7: guy that isn't governed by by us Hamas. So they 1634 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,880 Speaker 7: get a bullet. There's no trial, there's no like, uh, 1635 01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 7: you know, let's let's have a poll. Let's let's go 1636 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 7: have a election day and select leadership. Uh, there's there's 1637 01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,160 Speaker 7: none of that in Gaza. And the only way it's 1638 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 7: going to get into Gaza is if it's imposed. And 1639 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,040 Speaker 7: Benjamin Netanya, who is in the act of imposing it. 1640 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,560 Speaker 7: So uh, you know, unfortunately, war is horrible, uh and 1641 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 7: you know, and for good reason. I mean you're killing 1642 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,000 Speaker 7: people and destroying things. I mean it's a terrible uh 1643 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:39,439 Speaker 7: state for humans to get to a war. Middle East, 1644 01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 7: that's they've seen an awful lot of it. But I 1645 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:42,360 Speaker 7: don't know how you reconcile. 1646 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:43,160 Speaker 2: Uh. 1647 01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,880 Speaker 7: You know, people that want literally they're raised their kids 1648 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,719 Speaker 7: from cradle to grave, death to Israel, death to America, 1649 01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:52,920 Speaker 7: you know, from the river to the sea. You know, 1650 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 7: all this mindset of just kill, kill, kill because we 1651 01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,679 Speaker 7: disagree with these people, and it isn't. 1652 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 3: Going to happen overnight. 1653 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 7: So we've got progress and hopefully some of the people 1654 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:10,719 Speaker 7: that are anti Hamas and anti terror will take control 1655 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 7: of their own affairs. I mean, that's the only way 1656 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:15,040 Speaker 7: they're going to be a little to live in peace. 1657 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,479 Speaker 4: Well, and I think that's something the Middle East countries 1658 01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,639 Speaker 4: that surround the area, you know, Saudi Arabia, Cutter and others, 1659 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 4: some who have already entered into the Abraham Peace Accords. 1660 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 4: I think they realize that threat threatens their existence. They 1661 01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,240 Speaker 4: finally have come around to the realization that playing nice 1662 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 4: with terrorist organizations is indeed an existential threat to their 1663 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,639 Speaker 4: own governments, in their own countries existence. You got any 1664 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,480 Speaker 4: comment on that before we part company, Congressman Davidson. 1665 01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's exactly the framework. I mean, President Trump did 1666 01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,880 Speaker 7: a great job of building alliances with the Air of nations. 1667 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 7: I mean Cutter, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and others were there 1668 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:55,639 Speaker 7: celebrating the signing of this peace agreement, and they've committed 1669 01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 7: to be part of rebuilding Gaza. So, you know, the 1670 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,840 Speaker 7: hope is that with their influence, they can show look, 1671 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 7: you can be you know, Muslim and not hostile, like 1672 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,640 Speaker 7: you can live in peace. It doesn't have to be 1673 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:13,919 Speaker 7: this endless jihad is the only path to be Muslim. 1674 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,920 Speaker 7: And there are Muslim countries where they've lived in pretty good, 1675 01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 7: peaceful situations and they're you know, kudos to NBS in 1676 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 7: Saudi Arabia. They're modernizing their country in a lot of ways. 1677 01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,559 Speaker 7: If you look at Dubai, they're doing things that are 1678 01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 7: blending modern world with their faith, and you know, Hey, 1679 01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 7: that's what they should do. I mean, you know, I 1680 01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 7: believe they should follow Jesus, but I'm not going to 1681 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 7: go kill them for it. Right, they believe I should 1682 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,960 Speaker 7: follow Mohammed. Hopefully they'll get to the people that feel 1683 01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 7: like they should just kill us as infidels over that 1684 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,840 Speaker 7: and say, you know, we can agree to disagree on that. Yeah, 1685 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 7: and if they can, you know, maybe we can have 1686 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 7: some peace over there. 1687 01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:55,120 Speaker 4: There. You go, proselytize, make your argument, and we'll all 1688 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 4: draw our own conclusions about which direction we want to go.

Andre Ewing, Curse Breakers three hundred. 1749 01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 4: He can explain to you about that again. But welcome back, Andrea. 1750 01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 4: You are an outspoken i'll say, critic, but not always critic. 1751 01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 4: You praise stuff that's good and you attack things politically 1752 01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,639 Speaker 4: that are bad. Retired police officer, you had thirty years 1753 01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,760 Speaker 4: of police a service under your belt, right, Yes, sir, 1754 01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:35,280 Speaker 4: you've seen it all. Yes you remember the days before 1755 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 4: issue five and you obviously there were problems. You can 1756 01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:39,640 Speaker 4: even mention that if you choose to, it wasn't a 1757 01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,120 Speaker 4: perfect system back then. I know a lot of police 1758 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:45,599 Speaker 4: officers weren't thrilled with Chief Tom Striker being police chief. 1759 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:49,240 Speaker 4: And you know, but now we have it completely politicized. 1760 01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 4: And of course the conversation brought up because a lot 1761 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,840 Speaker 4: of rumors swirling around the police chief. Thiji's job was 1762 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 4: on the line. She got hauled back from her police 1763 01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,640 Speaker 4: convention conference and sort of why did she go in 1764 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:01,600 Speaker 4: the middle of all this chaos is a question. But 1765 01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:03,760 Speaker 4: at least she wasn't well watching when it all hit 1766 01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:09,240 Speaker 4: the fan. So, but it's become politicized. Mayor, I have 1767 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,680 Speaker 4: to have purvall the city manager have total control over 1768 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:14,680 Speaker 4: who gets hired and who gets fired. And a lot 1769 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:16,760 Speaker 4: of suggestions, I know you were listening to Dan Hills 1770 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,599 Speaker 4: this morning, that that creates this sort of capitulation someone 1771 01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 4: who could be a strong leader, someone who might have 1772 01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:25,760 Speaker 4: great ideas about policing and might run a foul of 1773 01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 4: what Pervoll and the manager and the city manager want, 1774 01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 4: which means their jobs on the line if they disagree. 1775 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 4: That is not a good view from my standpoint, And 1776 01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,080 Speaker 4: here we find ourselves today a lot of crime in downtown. 1777 01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,920 Speaker 4: Have to have Parvoll, with his election on the line, 1778 01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,000 Speaker 4: doing a lot of things, or at least paying lip 1779 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,160 Speaker 4: service to it. But now we've got this wrinkle in 1780 01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:46,720 Speaker 4: the thing about maybe Chief Fiji's going to lose her job. 1781 01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:50,400 Speaker 4: Is any of this her fault? Andre Ewing, welcome back, man, Hey. 1782 01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 11: I appreciate it, brother Brian. It's always a pleasure. I 1783 01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,200 Speaker 11: want to give a shout out to my wife, Danielle Ewing, 1784 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,080 Speaker 11: who's a police officer as will and also a breast 1785 01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 11: cancer survived, so having breast Cancer Awareness month. Just want 1786 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,920 Speaker 11: to talk to all my survivors and your thrivers so 1787 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 11: we love you and keep fighting. 1788 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:09,479 Speaker 4: And then thank you very much for bringing that up. 1789 01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:13,000 Speaker 11: Absolutely, let's get down to the truth, brother Brian, because 1790 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,280 Speaker 11: I'm not gonna water it down. I've always said that 1791 01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:19,760 Speaker 11: Fiji has no business being the chief. 1792 01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:20,120 Speaker 2: Now. 1793 01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:23,200 Speaker 11: Now, Dan Hills was on the show talking about she 1794 01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:26,920 Speaker 11: did better than what I thought? What is better than? Okay, 1795 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 11: we clearly said that Lisa Davis was the better choice. 1796 01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 11: And what rings in my mind is December tenth, twenty 1797 01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:37,800 Speaker 11: twenty two. That rings in my mind. Why because Cheryl 1798 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 11: Long and Scottie Johnson walked into District two and started 1799 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:47,600 Speaker 11: to ask us questions, what chief do we want? And 1800 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,400 Speaker 11: it's interesting because I've been on your show before and 1801 01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:57,479 Speaker 11: overwhelmingly we told the city manager, do not place Terretha 1802 01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 11: Thiji out of chief position. And it was almost like 1803 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,559 Speaker 11: we were begging her overwhelmingly one hundred percent in the room, 1804 01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:08,559 Speaker 11: and they did an assessment and overwhelmingly you heard even 1805 01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 11: Dan Hill say, yeah, we weren't for Thiji. It was overwhelmingly, 1806 01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:18,200 Speaker 11: and you still chose somebody that everybody said do not do. 1807 01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:22,320 Speaker 11: So I'm not gonna just say Thiji should go once again, 1808 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:26,040 Speaker 11: having a convention out of town during all this telling 1809 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,400 Speaker 11: chiefs what what not to do and how to talk 1810 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:33,840 Speaker 11: to criminals to just behave This is absolutely ridiculous. 1811 01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,920 Speaker 4: You know, it's revealing of a pattern because as you 1812 01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,720 Speaker 4: were talking about that, who is most I mean, the 1813 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:42,919 Speaker 4: city residents obviously impacted by who's running the police department, 1814 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:47,599 Speaker 4: but that's one thing. But she is there to keep 1815 01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:51,000 Speaker 4: the police department organized, to hire and fire the right people, 1816 01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:55,360 Speaker 4: to give promotions to hopefully the merit based right people, 1817 01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:58,400 Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. So you're most impacted as a 1818 01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 4: police officer. Overwhelming support for someone other than tig That 1819 01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:05,120 Speaker 4: sounds remarkably like the city council and this mayor's treatment 1820 01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,960 Speaker 4: of the residents of Hyde Park who were overwhelmingly against 1821 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,760 Speaker 4: that damn development project so much so that they got 1822 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:12,640 Speaker 4: it on the ballot to have it repealed. That's what 1823 01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:16,479 Speaker 4: forced the city to capitulate in this particular case. Doesn't 1824 01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:18,880 Speaker 4: sound like the city is capitulating anything. They're like, okay, 1825 01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 4: you want that police chief. Sorry, screw you, guys, We're 1826 01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:23,280 Speaker 4: going with DG anyway. 1827 01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 11: Correct, which is ridiculous. That's why Sheryl Loan cannot get 1828 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,800 Speaker 11: off the hook. And what makes her a specialist in 1829 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:33,320 Speaker 11: picking and choosing the right police chief? What skills does 1830 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:37,559 Speaker 11: she have to disregard an entire police force? And how 1831 01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:40,519 Speaker 11: do you just get that power from individuals who have 1832 01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 11: no experience in policing. And we see the results of 1833 01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 11: that decision. And so it's interesting because Fiji is collateral 1834 01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:53,880 Speaker 11: damage being placed in a position that it was really Hey, Chief, 1835 01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:56,639 Speaker 11: we're begging you, don't take it because you're not ready. 1836 01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:01,400 Speaker 11: You're being set up by a highly political process. And 1837 01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:05,160 Speaker 11: this is the results of leadership. That's why I said 1838 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:09,120 Speaker 11: Aftab needs to go, Sheryl Long needs to go as 1839 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:12,800 Speaker 11: well as Chief and Iris Rowley because we keep hearing 1840 01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:18,400 Speaker 11: about this collaborative agreement. Will somebody, a professional attorney sit 1841 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,040 Speaker 11: down and really break down this entire process because you 1842 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:25,920 Speaker 11: hear it so much. It's it's a document that we 1843 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:31,400 Speaker 11: need to know what exactly is in those documents that 1844 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,439 Speaker 11: appears to be that IRIS has so much power in 1845 01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:37,400 Speaker 11: this situation, and we will. 1846 01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:39,600 Speaker 4: Bring that topic back up. We're bumping up against the 1847 01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,800 Speaker 4: break here. Andre a Ewing brother Dre. You can find 1848 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:44,439 Speaker 4: him online.

Outspoken observer, critic, sometimes 1858 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:24,000 Speaker 4: sometimes supporter, but things going on in the city of Cincinnati, 1859 01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:27,400 Speaker 4: bringing his thirty years of law enforcement experience and observations 1860 01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 4: and never pulling any punches on it. So check him out. 1861 01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:35,519 Speaker 4: You said you're going to rename your page at some point, Andre, Yeah. 1862 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 11: Sir, it's going to be under a Curse Breakers three 1863 01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,320 Speaker 11: hundred right now, cars Breakers three hundred dash Brother Dre 1864 01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,040 Speaker 11: is going to be revamped. But it definitely Brother Dre 1865 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:46,719 Speaker 11: and Curse Breakers three hundred. 1866 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:48,880 Speaker 4: So definitely let you know, all right, and you'd be 1867 01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:51,080 Speaker 4: doing the same thing even under the different all right, yes, 1868 01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:54,559 Speaker 4: because I would hate if that weren't away. Absolutely Back 1869 01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 4: to Iris rol you're talking met You've never personally seen 1870 01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:59,439 Speaker 4: the collaborative agreement? Are you suggesting? Is it's kind of 1871 01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,639 Speaker 4: like a hidden document. It's not like I can't search 1872 01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:04,560 Speaker 4: for the SENSEI Collaborative Agreement and come up with a 1873 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 4: full page PDF for the whole thing. 1874 01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 11: And it's interesting because nobody seems to know the heart 1875 01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:14,000 Speaker 11: of the collaborative agreement. The mayor has thrown it around 1876 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,479 Speaker 11: a lot in the debate. He threw it up, And 1877 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:20,160 Speaker 11: so what needs to happen to the citizens of Cincinnati 1878 01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,760 Speaker 11: since it's being brought up and Iris Rollie's name is 1879 01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:27,560 Speaker 11: being brought up presented to the city, read verbatim the 1880 01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:31,320 Speaker 11: structure and the importance of it. Now we do understand 1881 01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:35,519 Speaker 11: that from the Tim Thomas murder, from the police officer 1882 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:39,120 Speaker 11: and the issues that occurred there, that the collaborative Agreement 1883 01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:43,560 Speaker 11: was started and the profiling that officers were doing, so 1884 01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:47,280 Speaker 11: it was needed. But now here we are it was refreshed. 1885 01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:52,000 Speaker 11: What exactly is in there? Because I'm tired of hearing 1886 01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:54,400 Speaker 11: about it and tired of hearing that she's at the 1887 01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:58,760 Speaker 11: table dictating what rules are in or not. So will 1888 01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,000 Speaker 11: somebody show up verbatim and that should come from the 1889 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:05,280 Speaker 11: chief or city manager or mayor, since you're referring to 1890 01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,840 Speaker 11: it but showing us no facts of her position dealing 1891 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:09,599 Speaker 11: with this all right? 1892 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:13,800 Speaker 4: And I had read Signal ninety nine's post, and there 1893 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,040 Speaker 4: was a reference in there that Iris Roly did do 1894 01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:21,000 Speaker 4: a presentation to law enforcement officials and other services that 1895 01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:23,639 Speaker 4: the governor offered. So before you come here to work 1896 01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:26,000 Speaker 4: for two days a week, maybe now four days a week, 1897 01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:28,280 Speaker 4: you got to listen to a sermon by Iris Roley. 1898 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:32,360 Speaker 4: I'm boiling down what she said, but presumably I can 1899 01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 4: imagine since she was there for the creation of and 1900 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,760 Speaker 4: was an integral part of establishing the collaborative Agreement, that 1901 01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,920 Speaker 4: she doesn't know what's in it. But is it everybody's 1902 01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,639 Speaker 4: understanding that she was telling the officers and officials what's 1903 01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,559 Speaker 4: in there and what they have to do by way 1904 01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:50,360 Speaker 4: of how to conduct their policing activities in the city, 1905 01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,800 Speaker 4: or was she providing her own version of it, because 1906 01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 4: that's where the wording in the collaborative Agreement is so 1907 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:59,080 Speaker 4: damn important. Question number two and I think you know 1908 01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:01,280 Speaker 4: the answer to this or can guess it. Is there 1909 01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 4: anything in the collaborate Agreement that allows for the designation 1910 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,040 Speaker 4: of a pope or an i mom or a grand 1911 01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:10,240 Speaker 4: Pooba of the collaborative agreement? How did she land in 1912 01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:14,320 Speaker 4: that role as a highly paid consultant going around telling 1913 01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:15,200 Speaker 4: people how to do things? 1914 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 2: And you know what? 1915 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:21,160 Speaker 11: Those are the mystery questions that need to be answered 1916 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:26,120 Speaker 11: to find out exactly what is her position as you see, 1917 01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:29,200 Speaker 11: it never was told to us even after everything occurred. 1918 01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:32,400 Speaker 11: And seeing this is where a Chief Thiji is a 1919 01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,360 Speaker 11: problem as well, because you haven't spoken out even when 1920 01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:39,040 Speaker 11: she was out harassing officers, So what exactly is happening? 1921 01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:42,479 Speaker 11: No one actually came forward to present and say this 1922 01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:46,560 Speaker 11: is a problem. So until we actually know under what 1923 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:50,200 Speaker 11: power she has, this is constantly going to be confused. 1924 01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 11: She can address it to the osp and say we 1925 01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:56,439 Speaker 11: want you to follow this collaborative agreement and resources say 1926 01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:58,880 Speaker 11: that there was a memorandum that they had to sign 1927 01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:03,080 Speaker 11: and follow, But what are you following? And that is 1928 01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:06,080 Speaker 11: the question that the citizens and taxpayers need to know. 1929 01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:10,240 Speaker 4: That's an excellent observation, all right. Pivoting over to something 1930 01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:12,680 Speaker 4: the mayor seems to want to embrace, and I know 1931 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,639 Speaker 4: Cranleigh was wanted to embrace the idea of hiring more 1932 01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:20,960 Speaker 4: police officers. Were down a couple of hundred more taking 1933 01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:23,160 Speaker 4: early drop. I mean, they're not even sticking out the 1934 01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:25,599 Speaker 4: entire drop program. They're just washing their hands up and saying, 1935 01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:29,519 Speaker 4: I'm out senior officers losing experience, and we don't have 1936 01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:31,679 Speaker 4: enough younger officers fill in the rank. So this concept 1937 01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,720 Speaker 4: of lateral hires has come up. Sounds brilliant, you know, 1938 01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:37,919 Speaker 4: DANGELA carative incentive over here in the city of Cincinnati 1939 01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,519 Speaker 4: for someone to quit their suburban police officer job and 1940 01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,559 Speaker 4: work in the city. That sounds like a tough road 1941 01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:47,240 Speaker 4: to ho there, andre Ewing, what in your perception should 1942 01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,559 Speaker 4: the city do to get people to want to come 1943 01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:51,680 Speaker 4: and work in the cincinnai police department. I mean, is 1944 01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:53,880 Speaker 4: there a simple solution to that, because everybody's climbing for 1945 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:55,160 Speaker 4: officers out there in the world. 1946 01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,920 Speaker 11: Correct, and leadership is the key. Once again, no one 1947 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:02,880 Speaker 11: wants to be a police, no one. This is a 1948 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,800 Speaker 11: serious issue. And this is why you release the full 1949 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:10,360 Speaker 11: package with the OSP. And this is interesting because this 1950 01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:14,200 Speaker 11: could be a test temperature to say, we're gonna test 1951 01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,679 Speaker 11: how the OSP. We release the full package. We allow 1952 01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:21,439 Speaker 11: them to do their traffic stops, their investigations, help with 1953 01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:25,000 Speaker 11: cis all the things the police need. That means what 1954 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:30,400 Speaker 11: more officers? So if you already have the funding to 1955 01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:34,320 Speaker 11: give us the OSP, why would you keep complaining about 1956 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:38,000 Speaker 11: we need to hire more officers. Here's the test, baby, 1957 01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:42,479 Speaker 11: right here. Release all these officers at your disposal. This 1958 01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:47,759 Speaker 11: leadership is ridiculous. I just gave you the blueprint. Release 1959 01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:50,599 Speaker 11: it and see how this goes. And you will see 1960 01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:55,280 Speaker 11: when we get more officers. Here is already the blueprint 1961 01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:58,559 Speaker 11: that's been set. Release the full package. 1962 01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:01,160 Speaker 4: Get the full package. Get if the officer could numbers 1963 01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:03,479 Speaker 4: back up to where they should be, and let's see 1964 01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:07,760 Speaker 4: if it works at least right, absolute, that's what you're saying, Absolutely, 1965 01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,200 Speaker 4: try it out. You know what, maybe in six months 1966 01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:12,120 Speaker 4: from now, if they did all that, just flooded the 1967 01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:14,920 Speaker 4: streets with every day twenty four hours, seven days a week, 1968 01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:17,719 Speaker 4: the additional resources, and six months from now, if crime 1969 01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,640 Speaker 4: is gone up or things haven't changed, you can say, 1970 01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:21,880 Speaker 4: you know what, it isn't the amount of officers. It's 1971 01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:24,760 Speaker 4: got to be something else. Thank you very much, andre Ewing, 1972 01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 4: you are the vehicle for such logic and common sense 1973 01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:29,160 Speaker 4: to make it out to the residents and the folks 1974 01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,599 Speaker 4: who listen to this conversation on the fifty five Carsee 1975 01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:34,519 Speaker 4: Morning Show.

At very turbulent times and politics 1992 01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:25,200 Speaker 4: in downtown Cincinnati and surprising, I think me and everybody 1993 01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:28,160 Speaker 4: else who fully is aware of how blue the city 1994 01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 4: is in terms of its democratic leanings. Mary, I have 1995 01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 4: to have purval. Seems to be scrambling to respond to 1996 01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,759 Speaker 4: the crime problem at least that we've gotten downtown Cincinnati. 1997 01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:39,760 Speaker 4: But a little late in the day as we get 1998 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,599 Speaker 4: closer and closer, only a few weeks away from voting, 1999 01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:45,040 Speaker 4: but he's getting he's it seems to have he's gone 2000 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:47,559 Speaker 4: into overdrive mode. And now we have this additional wrinkle 2001 01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:51,200 Speaker 4: that maybe Police Chief Teresa Thiji might get fired. What's 2002 01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,439 Speaker 4: your reaction has as you see things unfold? 2003 01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,800 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's a little too late. You know, 2004 01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:01,040 Speaker 12: of people, the residents of Cincinnati have long been saying 2005 01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 12: they don't feel safe. We've seen violent crime continue to 2006 01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:07,479 Speaker 12: pick up and we've heard council members. I mean, we've 2007 01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:11,560 Speaker 12: had candidate forums. There's been canet forums several weeks, for 2008 01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,960 Speaker 12: many weeks leading up to this election. And they're incumbent 2009 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:19,240 Speaker 12: council members who consistently say that these candiate forums everything, 2010 01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:22,519 Speaker 12: it's fine, we're lying about crime. Crime is going down. 2011 01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,120 Speaker 12: Nothing to see here, And they didn't want to face 2012 01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 12: the facts. They didn't want to admit what was going on. 2013 01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:31,320 Speaker 12: They didn't want to listen to residents who are saying, 2014 01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:34,719 Speaker 12: I just don't feel safe, let alone. We know news 2015 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,640 Speaker 12: every morning there's been shooting after shooting after shooting, and 2016 01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:39,759 Speaker 12: they don't do anything. And now all of a sudden 2017 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 12: they're panicking and trying to make changes right before an election. 2018 01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:47,160 Speaker 12: This is not how we want our city to be run. 2019 01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,639 Speaker 12: We need leaders who are willing to face the facts 2020 01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:52,880 Speaker 12: and take action right away, not try to hide it 2021 01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 12: until it's too late leading up to an election. I 2022 01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:59,080 Speaker 12: just want better leadership and we need change in Cincinnati 2023 01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:00,519 Speaker 12: the way. 2024 01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:02,640 Speaker 4: And I guess, looking just at the issue of the 2025 01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 4: police chief, I don't personally blame police Chief three cy 2026 01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:09,320 Speaker 4: Thigi for the violence in downtown Cincinnati. She is working 2027 01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,120 Speaker 4: with a contingent of police officers, which is at least, 2028 01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,200 Speaker 4: as we understand it, a couple of hundred less than 2029 01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:17,519 Speaker 4: what we could fully use in downtown Cincinnati. But given 2030 01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,880 Speaker 4: the way the police chiefs are appointed and fired, that 2031 01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:23,120 Speaker 4: that power rests soling the hands of the mayor and 2032 01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:26,440 Speaker 4: the city manager, neither of whom know anything about policing 2033 01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:29,920 Speaker 4: generally speaking. I don't know how what their role in 2034 01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,360 Speaker 4: what their position and those roles is that gives them 2035 01:46:32,439 --> 01:46:35,800 Speaker 4: the the the the knowledge and the skills necessary to 2036 01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:38,720 Speaker 4: select a good police chief. But the political reality of 2037 01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,479 Speaker 4: that is that the police chiefs beholden to the political 2038 01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:44,000 Speaker 4: whims of those two people, which are not in the 2039 01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:45,680 Speaker 4: interests of the police department. I don't think in the 2040 01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,040 Speaker 4: interests of the city of Cincinnati. Voters will decide that. 2041 01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:50,240 Speaker 4: But should we go back to the way it was 2042 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:54,639 Speaker 4: before Issue five got passed, Liz, I think yeah. 2043 01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:57,719 Speaker 12: I think that is a very valid point. Ken Korb 2044 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:01,800 Speaker 12: has been very loud about that as well, to give 2045 01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:05,040 Speaker 12: that buffer. So for the listeners who don't know what 2046 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:07,919 Speaker 12: that means, that means we could potentially have a situation 2047 01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:11,080 Speaker 12: right now the city manager can can fire the police 2048 01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:14,680 Speaker 12: chief or the fire chief. You know, any time, for 2049 01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,840 Speaker 12: any reason, the mayor can fire the city manager. But 2050 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:20,680 Speaker 12: to put a little buffer in place, to require a 2051 01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,240 Speaker 12: vote of city council, say seven votes of city council, 2052 01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:26,040 Speaker 12: to approve the firing of somebody. 2053 01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:27,839 Speaker 2: That gives them a little. 2054 01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,200 Speaker 12: Buffer to actually do their job and not to sit 2055 01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:35,120 Speaker 12: it on and and be beholden to the political powers 2056 01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:38,679 Speaker 12: and and have to deal with the politicization of their jobs. 2057 01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:42,760 Speaker 12: I really like that idea, and it gives them just 2058 01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:45,559 Speaker 12: much more room to actually act in the professional manners 2059 01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:50,559 Speaker 12: that they're supposed to like. Actually police actually make tough 2060 01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,720 Speaker 12: decisions that may not be politically expedient for those who 2061 01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:56,920 Speaker 12: are in office. I think it's a very valid point, 2062 01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:59,320 Speaker 12: something that we should continue to debate and look at, 2063 01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:03,320 Speaker 12: because otherwise you're going to continuously see this, especially leading 2064 01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:04,479 Speaker 12: into an election season. 2065 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,280 Speaker 4: Well, I suppose on some level, given the nature of 2066 01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:09,800 Speaker 4: how she was appointed as police chief, that her if 2067 01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:13,640 Speaker 4: she is fired, the question will be why are you 2068 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:16,439 Speaker 4: firing her? Is it because of these of the violence 2069 01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:18,800 Speaker 4: in the city, since I and you have misallocated the 2070 01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:22,000 Speaker 4: resources in the city, or is an acknowledgment that because 2071 01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:24,600 Speaker 4: she follows the policies of the city manager, and I 2072 01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:26,640 Speaker 4: have to have pro ball that it's a reflection of 2073 01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:28,519 Speaker 4: their own failure by appointing her in the first place, 2074 01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:30,840 Speaker 4: or by dictating how she runs the office. I mean, 2075 01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:34,000 Speaker 4: that's like, that's like blaming yourself if you fire her. 2076 01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,080 Speaker 12: I mean, you have to have elected officials that are 2077 01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:40,680 Speaker 12: willing to stand up every single day and say I 2078 01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:42,960 Speaker 12: support the police, and I want the police to just 2079 01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:46,439 Speaker 12: go do their jobs and not holding back and not 2080 01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:49,000 Speaker 12: create a situation where they're nervous to want to go 2081 01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,639 Speaker 12: out and do their jobs the way that they were trained. 2082 01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,719 Speaker 12: The fact that we are waiting this long to start 2083 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:58,960 Speaker 12: going after people who are breaking the law, even minor infractions, 2084 01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:02,960 Speaker 12: is absolutely mind boggling to me. I mean, people have 2085 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,639 Speaker 12: been complaining about this for a very very long time, 2086 01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:08,519 Speaker 12: and then to just here this week saying, Okay, we're 2087 01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,600 Speaker 12: going to start going after you, and we're going to 2088 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:12,960 Speaker 12: come talk to you, we're going to approach you if 2089 01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:16,360 Speaker 12: you are doing anything illegal. I mean, the fact that 2090 01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,439 Speaker 12: elected officials weren't supporting and encouraging the police to do 2091 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:23,360 Speaker 12: this so long ago, I mean, it's no wonder we're 2092 01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,479 Speaker 12: in the situation that we are in. You've got to 2093 01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:27,240 Speaker 12: be able to support the police, and you've got to 2094 01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,920 Speaker 12: encourage in and allow the police to do their jobs 2095 01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:32,320 Speaker 12: and not let politics get in. 2096 01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:32,760 Speaker 2: The way of that. 2097 01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:35,960 Speaker 4: Amen to that. And then if they are left to 2098 01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:38,840 Speaker 4: do their job, to run the job independently, make the 2099 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,360 Speaker 4: choices on their own, free of political pressure, and they 2100 01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:45,200 Speaker 4: do a poor job, you have a legitimate justification. Hey, 2101 01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,080 Speaker 4: we let her run the show. She failed at that. 2102 01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:48,880 Speaker 4: We're going to find somebody that does a better job. 2103 01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:51,439 Speaker 4: That would be more logical and reasonable. But right now 2104 01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,479 Speaker 4: her hands are tied. And again, if they fire her, 2105 01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:58,080 Speaker 4: they're firing her because she bent to their will. That'd 2106 01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:00,920 Speaker 4: be my argument. Anyway, what do you action the Jeff 2107 01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:04,080 Speaker 4: Ruby Entertainment Center closing down. I know the spin in 2108 01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,200 Speaker 4: local media was it was some sort of rent dispute, 2109 01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:12,200 Speaker 4: but it actually was not. The CEO from Ruby's said 2110 01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,800 Speaker 4: out loud that knows because of security the rental company 2111 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,840 Speaker 4: the property owner wasn't providing adequate security. I think that's 2112 01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:24,000 Speaker 4: suggesting we need better security downtown. There are employees working 2113 01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:26,360 Speaker 4: here and they have concerns walking in and out of 2114 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:29,200 Speaker 4: the building, or that maybe criminals and evil types might 2115 01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:33,519 Speaker 4: walk into the building, So the controversy centers around safety, 2116 01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,280 Speaker 4: and they're not there anymore. After that, Purvoal was on 2117 01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,760 Speaker 4: the TV last night arguing with Corey Bowman, claiming Heaps 2118 01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:40,960 Speaker 4: brought all kinds of businesses in a downsound. But I 2119 01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,840 Speaker 4: don't remember any of that, Liz keating, are we losing 2120 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:45,960 Speaker 4: more than we're gaining? Where are we in terms of 2121 01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:47,960 Speaker 4: drawing people into downtown Cincinnati? 2122 01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,200 Speaker 12: You know, I think we have a problem across the board. 2123 01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:57,800 Speaker 12: We have seen restaurant shutdown and those restaurant owners consistently 2124 01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:01,360 Speaker 12: say that it's because crime, and say has it been 2125 01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:04,600 Speaker 12: a problem and impacting their businesses? Now, we know we 2126 01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:07,080 Speaker 12: are in a tough economy. We know that we already 2127 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,800 Speaker 12: have a lot of forces going against us. But when 2128 01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:12,200 Speaker 12: you have this kind of economy, you know crime spikes, 2129 01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,519 Speaker 12: you know mental health issues rise, and you know you 2130 01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:16,840 Speaker 12: have safety issues. These are things that could have been 2131 01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:20,920 Speaker 12: prevented and worked on two years ago, but it wasn't. 2132 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:24,320 Speaker 12: And now we're consistently hearing You're hearing restaurants in the banks, 2133 01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:27,560 Speaker 12: You're hearing restaurants in Central Business District, You're hearing restaurants 2134 01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:31,920 Speaker 12: do it in OTR Consistently complained about that and need 2135 01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:35,519 Speaker 12: for more police officers, more police officers walking the beat, 2136 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:41,040 Speaker 12: more security, more private detail to be able to manage 2137 01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:44,599 Speaker 12: this not just from a security standpoint and a safety standpoint, 2138 01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:48,160 Speaker 12: but a perception of safety so that people feel safe. 2139 01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 12: And if people don't feel safe, they are not going 2140 01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 12: to come support our businesses, and those businesses are going 2141 01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:55,760 Speaker 12: to hurt. And if we are a city that does 2142 01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:58,760 Speaker 12: not support these small businesses that are the lifeblood of 2143 01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,639 Speaker 12: our city and our community, we have a huge, huge 2144 01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,200 Speaker 12: problem down the line. We got to be able to 2145 01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:08,040 Speaker 12: do better, and we need city officials, particularly city council 2146 01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:12,200 Speaker 12: step up and actually care about these businesses and make 2147 01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,240 Speaker 12: sure they're getting the support they need from a safety standpoint. 2148 01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:17,920 Speaker 4: Well, Pauls, bring Liz Keating back. Obviously we know where 2149 01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:19,840 Speaker 4: she is on crime in the downtown sin Sinnator.

Going back to Christopher Smithman's point, 2155 01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:38,400 Speaker 4: don't vote for all nine.

We'll bring her back right. 2159 01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:47,080 Speaker 2: From the station. 2160 01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:54,160 Speaker 4: Eight eighteen fifty five ker CED Talk station. So there's 2161 01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:56,280 Speaker 4: a very important election in the city of Cincinnati coming 2162 01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:58,160 Speaker 4: up in November, and Liz Keating's on the battle for 2163 01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,280 Speaker 4: sincey City Council joining the program this, we wan't need 2164 01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,519 Speaker 4: to talk about that. So as we move away from crime, 2165 01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,240 Speaker 4: I had one of the other huge issues for the 2166 01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,320 Speaker 4: residents of the city, and we saw this unfold and 2167 01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:12,240 Speaker 4: Bond Hill and Hyde Park they collectively painted this connected 2168 01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:17,040 Speaker 4: communities zoning rule over all of the neighborhoods without consulting 2169 01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:19,160 Speaker 4: with local communities about whether they wanted it or not, 2170 01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:23,000 Speaker 4: and then start making exceptions for well connected developers and 2171 01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:25,840 Speaker 4: in other areas without consulting those local communities like the 2172 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,840 Speaker 4: residents of Hyde Park. We all know how that worked 2173 01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:31,280 Speaker 4: out for the mayor and the city council. What is 2174 01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:36,000 Speaker 4: the Liz Keating approach to let's say, affordable housing. I 2175 01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:38,719 Speaker 4: know Parvoll said even again last night he wants forty 2176 01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:42,759 Speaker 4: thousand new affordable called affordable homes. Maybe you can define 2177 01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:44,120 Speaker 4: that for me, because I don't know what that means 2178 01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:47,320 Speaker 4: in the next ten years, but that's four thousand a years. 2179 01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,800 Speaker 4: They haven't even come close to that goal. Liz, keeping 2180 01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:52,280 Speaker 4: your reaction to property. 2181 01:53:54,040 --> 01:53:56,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the number one reason why they haven't 2182 01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,400 Speaker 12: come close to that goal is because they're not actually 2183 01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,519 Speaker 12: having productive debate there. I mean, if you if you 2184 01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:04,320 Speaker 12: look at these situations, they're going all or nothing. So 2185 01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:07,439 Speaker 12: you've got council members who are voting yes, just get 2186 01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:10,120 Speaker 12: down there and give speeches as to why they're voting yes. 2187 01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:12,360 Speaker 12: And then you've got council members they're voting no, and 2188 01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,400 Speaker 12: they're giving speeches as to why they're voting no. So 2189 01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:16,920 Speaker 12: they go all or nothing. A lot of these communities 2190 01:54:16,960 --> 01:54:20,280 Speaker 12: are saying, yeah, we do want housing, we do want investment, 2191 01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:23,120 Speaker 12: we do want something. Can you just work with us 2192 01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:26,600 Speaker 12: into what fits within the design of our community. And 2193 01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:30,519 Speaker 12: if it's all or nothing, everyone loses. You end up 2194 01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:33,120 Speaker 12: with nothing, as you're seeing it in High Park. Whereas 2195 01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:36,400 Speaker 12: a lot of the High Park neighborhood said, you know, 2196 01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:39,320 Speaker 12: our squares old, it's been a while since we've gotten 2197 01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:41,400 Speaker 12: some sort of investment. We'd be happy to have a 2198 01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:44,120 Speaker 12: little bit of a facelift. Can you work within our 2199 01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:44,840 Speaker 12: current voting? 2200 01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:45,800 Speaker 2: Can you? 2201 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:47,920 Speaker 12: Can you work within the current design? 2202 01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:48,280 Speaker 2: Can you? 2203 01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:52,920 Speaker 12: Can you respect the architectural history of our square? And 2204 01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:55,800 Speaker 12: if you had done that, you would actually be moving 2205 01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:59,520 Speaker 12: forward on a project right now that one fits with 2206 01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 12: a neighbor that makes the neighborhood happy, and you'd actually 2207 01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:05,040 Speaker 12: have more units than you have now. Guess how many 2208 01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:07,800 Speaker 12: we have now because of the absolute failure of City 2209 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:11,000 Speaker 12: Council zero. And it's insane. If you look at the 2210 01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:16,600 Speaker 12: way the city approaches development in our urban core, it 2211 01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:23,280 Speaker 12: is very proactive, it's strategic, it's intentional, and it respects 2212 01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:27,240 Speaker 12: the historic architecture of our downtown. And I've said this before. 2213 01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:30,600 Speaker 12: You wouldn't build a big box apartment building on the 2214 01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:32,520 Speaker 12: empty parking lot next to music Hall. 2215 01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:33,680 Speaker 3: You just want it. 2216 01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,520 Speaker 12: Nobody would even fathom doing that. But when you go 2217 01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:39,800 Speaker 12: to the neighborhoods that things like that are like, oh, well, 2218 01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:42,800 Speaker 12: you're a nimbi if you don't want this, and it's 2219 01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:47,440 Speaker 12: absolutely absurd, Like you rarely see opposition of housing being 2220 01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:49,880 Speaker 12: built in urban core because of how careful and how 2221 01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:52,200 Speaker 12: intentional they are on it, and if we can take 2222 01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:54,880 Speaker 12: that same proactive approach in our neighborhoods, work with our 2223 01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:57,120 Speaker 12: neighborhoods of what do you want and how do we 2224 01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:00,800 Speaker 12: make this fit? You can actually be much more proactive 2225 01:56:00,880 --> 01:56:03,280 Speaker 12: and figure out how to incentivize that kind of investment, 2226 01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:09,680 Speaker 12: and particularly for disinvested neighborhoods, they can get that added investment, 2227 01:56:10,320 --> 01:56:13,600 Speaker 12: more housing units the way that fits within the neighborhood, 2228 01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:16,440 Speaker 12: and you'd be much further along. If you continue this 2229 01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:20,560 Speaker 12: all or nothing approach and absolutely fail and having a 2230 01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:24,240 Speaker 12: productive debate, you get where you are now, which is zero. 2231 01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,680 Speaker 4: Well, it seems to me this kind of communities and 2232 01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:30,480 Speaker 4: it's all about affordable housing. I don't know what that 2233 01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:33,800 Speaker 4: word means. I know that if somebody built an apartment 2234 01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:36,560 Speaker 4: complex in Hyde Park, and maybe it was, you know, 2235 01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:38,840 Speaker 4: one hundred units and each one only had let's say 2236 01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:40,400 Speaker 4: five hundred square feet, you're going to get a hell 2237 01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:42,280 Speaker 4: of a lot more rent in that unit than you are. 2238 01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:44,680 Speaker 4: And pick one of the other fifty two neighborhoods where 2239 01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:46,800 Speaker 4: maybe the crime is a lot higher, maybe the amenities 2240 01:56:46,800 --> 01:56:49,120 Speaker 4: aren't is, maybe there's not as much shopping or grocery 2241 01:56:49,160 --> 01:56:51,960 Speaker 4: store access. They're not going to command as much rent 2242 01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:55,640 Speaker 4: just by virtue of location. You can't control that unless 2243 01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,880 Speaker 4: you put in some kind of rent control, can you, Liz, 2244 01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:00,440 Speaker 4: I think. 2245 01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:03,760 Speaker 12: It's more the way I look at it is is 2246 01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:07,680 Speaker 12: figuring out how we can get more two, three, four 2247 01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:11,080 Speaker 12: families built, because if you look on public transit lines, 2248 01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:16,080 Speaker 12: you can build within neighborhoods, these smaller what you know 2249 01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,560 Speaker 12: professionals call the missing middle housing. You're building up those, 2250 01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:22,680 Speaker 12: and then more people can can actually build those. You 2251 01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:25,400 Speaker 12: have more mom and pops that can build a two family. 2252 01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,800 Speaker 12: It's a pathway to home ownership because somebody can buy 2253 01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:30,720 Speaker 12: a two family and rent out the other side, and 2254 01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:33,400 Speaker 12: I'll set their mortgage, which you know brings the cost down. 2255 01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:35,720 Speaker 12: But then you're buying real estate, which we all know 2256 01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:39,120 Speaker 12: builds that generational wealth. But then more people can partake 2257 01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:41,600 Speaker 12: in that because there aren't very many people who can 2258 01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:45,000 Speaker 12: afford to big, big apartment buildings like you're seeing in 2259 01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:47,800 Speaker 12: the urban core. And so if you can take that approach, 2260 01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:50,360 Speaker 12: and I think hyge Park is a perfect example. If 2261 01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:53,480 Speaker 12: you look at all these cross streets around Hyghe Park Square, 2262 01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:58,640 Speaker 12: like z'ms Seen and Barry in Michigan and Eriie and observatory. 2263 01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:01,040 Speaker 12: You do have a lot of two three four families. 2264 01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:02,880 Speaker 12: I grew up on a street two doors down with 2265 01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:04,720 Speaker 12: a four family because I lived right off of a 2266 01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:10,880 Speaker 12: major road on Linwood Road. And it gives more people 2267 01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,720 Speaker 12: the opportunity easy. You allow more people to be able 2268 01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:16,040 Speaker 12: to build, and it offsets the cost to be able 2269 01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:18,560 Speaker 12: to create that pathway to home ownership and generational wealth. 2270 01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,920 Speaker 12: And I think that's the best approach because those smaller 2271 01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:25,800 Speaker 12: missing middle housing, the two three four family units that 2272 01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:28,800 Speaker 12: fits into neighborhoods, it works. And if you're doing it 2273 01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:31,160 Speaker 12: on public transit lines, if you're doing in these neighborhood 2274 01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:33,520 Speaker 12: business districts, if you're doing it in near schools and 2275 01:58:33,600 --> 01:58:37,360 Speaker 12: health centers and daycares, you know it fits so perfectly 2276 01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:39,280 Speaker 12: and more people get to partake in it. 2277 01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:43,400 Speaker 4: And I presume that this entire conversation has to be 2278 01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:46,360 Speaker 4: predicated on one of those smaller builders maybe or any 2279 01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:50,600 Speaker 4: any builder actually realizing a profit by building that type 2280 01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:53,120 Speaker 4: of unit as opposed to going for the full freight 2281 01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:55,600 Speaker 4: really big apartments or really expensive housing. 2282 01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:00,960 Speaker 12: There is think about the number of people that could 2283 01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:05,200 Speaker 12: move forward on doing that versus one massive project that 2284 01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:07,960 Speaker 12: takes years and years to get all the approvals, to 2285 01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:11,080 Speaker 12: get all the financing and move forward. And I think 2286 01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:13,760 Speaker 12: the problem with this council is that the you know, 2287 01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:16,360 Speaker 12: they keep this all or nothing approach and then they 2288 01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:19,040 Speaker 12: panic because they haven't move forward on any numbers, and 2289 01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,280 Speaker 12: so they just want one big project so they can 2290 01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:24,000 Speaker 12: you know, tally up and say we got this many 2291 01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:26,800 Speaker 12: versus trying to figure out how to be much more 2292 01:59:26,880 --> 01:59:30,000 Speaker 12: proactive and strategic and working with the community to make 2293 01:59:30,040 --> 01:59:32,440 Speaker 12: it fit. There is a way to do this. We 2294 01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,800 Speaker 12: have seen other cities do this, and we just need 2295 01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:40,000 Speaker 12: council members who are willing to take the time and 2296 01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:42,760 Speaker 12: actually have that productive debate to figure it out. 2297 01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:45,560 Speaker 4: Early voting is open. I recommend my listeners check out 2298 01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:48,120 Speaker 4: their website vote Lizkeating dot com. In spite of the 2299 01:59:48,160 --> 01:59:50,160 Speaker 4: fact that we're running out of time in terms of 2300 01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,400 Speaker 4: now in the election just a few weeks away, it's 2301 01:59:52,440 --> 01:59:54,320 Speaker 4: not too late for folks to help out with your campaign, 2302 01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:56,920 Speaker 4: get involved and maybe even donate or are we past that? 2303 01:59:57,080 --> 01:59:57,960 Speaker 4: Liz Keating. 2304 01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:03,240 Speaker 12: A absolutely not pass that all of the above, So 2305 02:00:03,520 --> 02:00:06,600 Speaker 12: we definitely need help and we will take any and 2306 02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:11,440 Speaker 12: all help. Obviously, donations are extremely helpful, particularly at these 2307 02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:15,120 Speaker 12: last few weeks, to help with ads and the mailers. 2308 02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:19,280 Speaker 12: We need people at the polling locations on election day 2309 02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:22,120 Speaker 12: talking to your neighbors, your friends as they come in 2310 02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:26,200 Speaker 12: to vote, and and you know, getting yard signs up 2311 02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:29,680 Speaker 12: and just making sure people are aware because you know, 2312 02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:32,880 Speaker 12: voter turnout is extremely low on these off year elections, 2313 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:34,920 Speaker 12: and that's why we end up with what we have 2314 02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:37,560 Speaker 12: right now. And if you want to have a voice, 2315 02:00:37,640 --> 02:00:40,080 Speaker 12: if you want to have productive debate, if you want 2316 02:00:40,160 --> 02:00:42,400 Speaker 12: somebody who's going to fight crime and fight the causes 2317 02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:44,520 Speaker 12: of crime. If you want somebody who is going to 2318 02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:46,680 Speaker 12: make sure those potholes are filled and the roads are 2319 02:00:46,720 --> 02:00:49,200 Speaker 12: paved and we actually plow snow when it's when it 2320 02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:52,440 Speaker 12: snows out. We need to have you show up. We 2321 02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:55,240 Speaker 12: need to have you talking about it and make sure 2322 02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:57,120 Speaker 12: you got your networks to show up to vote too. 2323 02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:00,360 Speaker 4: Have those sound like great ideas that you need to vote, 2324 02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:02,320 Speaker 4: Liz Keating, I recommend people do that again. 2325 02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:05,760 Speaker 12: Vote listen a great idea. Sorry I'm interrupting you here. 2326 02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:07,920 Speaker 12: That is not even a great idea, that is just 2327 02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:13,240 Speaker 12: common sense foundation of local government. This shouldn't be that hard. 2328 02:01:13,800 --> 02:01:16,600 Speaker 4: I'm glad I said it, Cincinnati. I'm glad I said 2329 02:01:16,680 --> 02:01:17,760 Speaker 4: that change down. 2330 02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:18,160 Speaker 3: There, right. 2331 02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:21,160 Speaker 4: I'm glad I said that because you put the exclamation 2332 02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:24,480 Speaker 4: point on it. Amen, Liz Keaty, good luck. If we 2333 02:01:24,560 --> 02:01:26,640 Speaker 4: don't talk between now and then, and I hope we do. 2334 02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:29,120 Speaker 4: I wish you all the best, and I really just 2335 02:01:29,200 --> 02:01:31,600 Speaker 4: for the benefit of the city that I love so much, 2336 02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:34,480 Speaker 4: we need a new administration who can focus on this 2337 02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:38,240 Speaker 4: logical and reasonable strategy. Thanks Liz Keating, keep up the 2338 02:01:38,280 --> 02:01:40,000 Speaker 4: great work and I'll wish you all the best as 2339 02:01:40,040 --> 02:01:43,160 Speaker 4: we fast approach election day coming up. 2340 02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:45,720 Speaker 9: Many things to be thankful for it to be otherwise, brother, 2341 02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:47,280 Speaker 9: you know that is I know it's been a very 2342 02:01:47,320 --> 02:01:47,640 Speaker 9: good day. 2343 02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:49,640 Speaker 4: That's why I love the post you put up on 2344 02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:52,600 Speaker 4: Facebook because I always have this inspirational, positive message. You know, 2345 02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:56,080 Speaker 4: there's always something positive you can focus on, and that's 2346 02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:58,480 Speaker 4: why I like you so much. You're good man. Jay 2347 02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:02,800 Speaker 4: rat left and what happened to Southwest? Real quick? Here 2348 02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:05,320 Speaker 4: carve all time. Last time you were on you were 2349 02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:07,320 Speaker 4: talking I think was Spirit Airlines. Who's getting rid of 2350 02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:09,640 Speaker 4: reclining seats or you had to pay extra for them? 2351 02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:13,200 Speaker 9: Well, actually that's West Jets. West cat and yeah, West 2352 02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:16,800 Speaker 9: Jet in Canada, they're they're kind of the Southwest Airlines, 2353 02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:20,160 Speaker 9: if you will, of Canada to a smaller version. They're 2354 02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:22,960 Speaker 9: premium seats are seats that we can pay extra for 2355 02:02:23,640 --> 02:02:26,320 Speaker 9: if we want, if you want to read like that 2356 02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:28,839 Speaker 9: premium service of reclining. Yes, exactly. 2357 02:02:29,040 --> 02:02:32,920 Speaker 4: But Southwest just has redesigned their interiors of all some 2358 02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:35,640 Speaker 4: of their airplanes anyway, and they're now switching to brand 2359 02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:39,960 Speaker 4: new Reccaro R two seats featuring multi adjustable headrest, cutchen, 2360 02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:42,360 Speaker 4: integrated tablet and phone holder in the rear, and in 2361 02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:46,320 Speaker 4: seed power with integrated USBA and seaports. Sounds like they're 2362 02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:49,320 Speaker 4: going the opposite direction. Didn't they pay attention to making 2363 02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:51,560 Speaker 4: us more miserable in order to make more money? 2364 02:02:51,680 --> 02:02:53,960 Speaker 9: Jay, Well, you know, but part of this is also 2365 02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:56,400 Speaker 9: so they can put in their premium seats, which are 2366 02:02:56,560 --> 02:03:00,160 Speaker 9: things that they are just now doing, because they've got 2367 02:03:00,200 --> 02:03:02,200 Speaker 9: the assigned seats that are coming up, and they've got 2368 02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:04,800 Speaker 9: the premium seats where you can pay to sit in 2369 02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:06,520 Speaker 9: a seat that's got a little bit more leg room. 2370 02:03:07,240 --> 02:03:10,760 Speaker 9: Because Southwest really learned a couple of years ago that 2371 02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:12,960 Speaker 9: they really needed to start paying attention to the fact 2372 02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:16,520 Speaker 9: that there's a segment of the traveling pump population that's 2373 02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:19,560 Speaker 9: willing to pay above and beyond what they would normally 2374 02:03:19,640 --> 02:03:23,520 Speaker 9: pay for an airfare for a more comfortable seat with 2375 02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:26,200 Speaker 9: more LEGRAM. And I love the fact they're going to 2376 02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:28,880 Speaker 9: assigned seating. That means no more of these wheelchairs out 2377 02:03:28,920 --> 02:03:31,040 Speaker 9: the door type of thing where people are just trying 2378 02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:33,760 Speaker 9: to get on early. But the idea that you're going 2379 02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,360 Speaker 9: to have the ability to have a premium seat, which 2380 02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:38,480 Speaker 9: is a little bit larger seat, a little bit more legram, 2381 02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:40,720 Speaker 9: well I don't think the seat's larger, but you've got 2382 02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:43,680 Speaker 9: more legroom, more pitched between rows is going to be 2383 02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:47,480 Speaker 9: a great thing. Because Delta and United reported earnings recently 2384 02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:52,560 Speaker 9: and they were incredibly strong, and they credited the premium 2385 02:03:52,720 --> 02:03:56,760 Speaker 9: seats that they've been selling and how popular they have been, 2386 02:03:57,360 --> 02:03:59,600 Speaker 9: and how they continue to make that one of their 2387 02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:03,760 Speaker 9: uh primary you know, marketing points. And you know other 2388 02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:07,240 Speaker 9: airlines are doing the same thing. They're recognizing that. Look, yeah, 2389 02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:10,040 Speaker 9: cramming as many seats onto an aircraft as you can 2390 02:04:10,200 --> 02:04:12,760 Speaker 9: is one thing. It's like that double decker aircraft, the 2391 02:04:12,840 --> 02:04:16,360 Speaker 9: airbus A three eighty. If it's all coach configuration, no 2392 02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:19,440 Speaker 9: business class, no first class, no premium seats. You can 2393 02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:23,600 Speaker 9: put eight hundred people on that airplane. Oh lord, I 2394 02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:25,720 Speaker 9: think that's tempting fate. But that's another story. 2395 02:04:25,840 --> 02:04:30,520 Speaker 4: But that's the first reaction I had came from. 2396 02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:32,040 Speaker 5: You got that right. 2397 02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:34,400 Speaker 9: So, but you know, when when airlines start putting in 2398 02:04:35,120 --> 02:04:37,720 Speaker 9: the first class seats, the business class, and then these 2399 02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:40,720 Speaker 9: premium seats, which are the you know, the extra comfortable 2400 02:04:40,800 --> 02:04:44,400 Speaker 9: coach seats. Uh, some airlines found out that the coach, 2401 02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:47,560 Speaker 9: the premium coach seats were more popular than some of 2402 02:04:47,640 --> 02:04:49,800 Speaker 9: their first class seats and some of their business class. 2403 02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:52,200 Speaker 9: So we've actually seen airlines over the last couple of 2404 02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:57,000 Speaker 9: years removing some of the business class first class seats 2405 02:04:57,400 --> 02:04:59,080 Speaker 9: so they can make more room to put more of 2406 02:04:59,160 --> 02:05:02,240 Speaker 9: these premium sea seats in because even though they obviously 2407 02:05:02,400 --> 02:05:04,760 Speaker 9: sell them at a reduced price versus what they took out, 2408 02:05:05,240 --> 02:05:07,840 Speaker 9: they can put in more of those, and they sell 2409 02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:10,880 Speaker 9: those out much more frequently than they do the seats 2410 02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:13,600 Speaker 9: that many times are just an upgrade for people want 2411 02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:16,240 Speaker 9: with their frequent flyer miles, where really, you know, they're 2412 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:20,800 Speaker 9: not getting a huge, uh you know, benefit from a 2413 02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:24,600 Speaker 9: revenue standpoint. So yeah, it's fascinating to see this shift 2414 02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,640 Speaker 9: to premium seats. It doesn't surprise me because as tough 2415 02:05:27,720 --> 02:05:30,280 Speaker 9: as it is to endure travel these days, to pay 2416 02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,600 Speaker 9: a couple extra dollars to sit in those premium seats 2417 02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:34,080 Speaker 9: is certainly the way to do. 2418 02:05:34,120 --> 02:05:38,160 Speaker 4: It well and almost a requirement considering society's collective girth 2419 02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:41,720 Speaker 4: is increasing even as we speak. Got to have room 2420 02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:43,840 Speaker 4: to put the person, and I would be willing to 2421 02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:47,240 Speaker 4: pay extra for some space if I had a girth issue. 2422 02:05:47,320 --> 02:05:49,680 Speaker 4: Pause from it will bring Jay Rylive back plenty to 2423 02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:53,880 Speaker 4: talk about with his massivenue wreckon river near Dell High 2424 02:05:54,320 --> 02:05:58,640 Speaker 4: Chuck Ingram on fifty five KOC the talk station. We've 2425 02:05:58,640 --> 02:06:01,720 Speaker 4: never been in a cockpit before?

I just like to 2432 02:06:17,840 --> 02:06:21,120 Speaker 4: build a fit all the time your show, brother, you lead. 2433 02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:23,960 Speaker 4: I don't want to have to go back and lead 2434 02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:26,080 Speaker 4: myself to my own devices. I have you as a 2435 02:06:26,160 --> 02:06:29,720 Speaker 4: vehicle to keep the conversation going, Jay, you know that's fine. 2436 02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:33,360 Speaker 4: Pete Heggs's flight had to divert. They crack. A windshield 2437 02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:36,840 Speaker 4: got cracked. Oh, how does the windshield get cracked? Or 2438 02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:39,760 Speaker 4: is this a fairly common phenomenon. I'd never read about 2439 02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:40,120 Speaker 4: that before. 2440 02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:44,400 Speaker 9: Well, you know, when when you're talking about a cockpit windshield, 2441 02:06:44,800 --> 02:06:49,920 Speaker 9: you're talking about several different layers of protection. When you 2442 02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:53,000 Speaker 9: look at it, because it's multi layered, it's obviously very 2443 02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:55,800 Speaker 9: high strength, and there's a lot of times that this 2444 02:06:56,680 --> 02:07:01,800 Speaker 9: this acrylic glass, if you will, can't and not shatter. 2445 02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,720 Speaker 9: It's not like it blows out, but it cracks, and 2446 02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:07,560 Speaker 9: when you're in the cockpit when that happens, it sounds 2447 02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:09,880 Speaker 9: like a gun went off. But because of the fact 2448 02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:12,760 Speaker 9: it's multi layered, a lot of times you've just got 2449 02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:15,040 Speaker 9: one layer of those I think three that you have 2450 02:07:15,240 --> 02:07:18,960 Speaker 9: there that has been impacted. So what happens is the 2451 02:07:19,480 --> 02:07:24,240 Speaker 9: plane normally will make an unscheduled landing. It's not necessarily 2452 02:07:24,320 --> 02:07:29,400 Speaker 9: considered an emergency landing. But the land because obviously you're 2453 02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:32,600 Speaker 9: worried about the rest of the windshield components, which even 2454 02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:37,720 Speaker 9: though they're in separately, contains separately it happens frequently. The 2455 02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:41,320 Speaker 9: biggest issue is if they're landing, it could impair the 2456 02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:45,240 Speaker 9: pilot's ability to see the runway to an extent. But no, 2457 02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:48,520 Speaker 9: I mean it's they happen. And when you look at 2458 02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:50,840 Speaker 9: the number of flights that we have in the course 2459 02:07:50,880 --> 02:07:53,560 Speaker 9: of a day, a week, a month, a year, I'm 2460 02:07:53,600 --> 02:07:56,160 Speaker 9: surprised we don't have more occurrences of that taking place. 2461 02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:58,880 Speaker 9: But the pictures when you do a Google image of 2462 02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:04,360 Speaker 9: the cockpit windshields when they do this, yeah, it's something 2463 02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:05,200 Speaker 9: to look at for sure. 2464 02:08:05,480 --> 02:08:08,840 Speaker 4: Fair enough in aviation terms, it's. 2465 02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:10,760 Speaker 9: Almost a non event, other than the fact that if 2466 02:08:10,800 --> 02:08:13,760 Speaker 9: you're drinking coffee when it starts, you might spill your coffee, 2467 02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:16,640 Speaker 9: because you get it's quite a start because you've got 2468 02:08:16,720 --> 02:08:19,840 Speaker 9: that cockpit the flight deck that's contained, so anything in 2469 02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:24,000 Speaker 9: there it echoes, but at a much louder sound. And 2470 02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:26,040 Speaker 9: believe me, the flight crew was made aware of it 2471 02:08:26,120 --> 02:08:27,640 Speaker 9: immediately when it happened. 2472 02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:29,920 Speaker 4: I imagine. So so in addition to cleaning up the coffee, 2473 02:08:29,960 --> 02:08:31,440 Speaker 4: you probably had to hit the restroom and do a 2474 02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:34,800 Speaker 4: shorts change. At least I would anyway. But oh, to Boeing, 2475 02:08:34,920 --> 02:08:37,920 Speaker 4: it looks like they're on the move in terms of deliveries. 2476 02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:41,600 Speaker 4: They're increasing the deliveries behind air Bus, though, but are 2477 02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:43,720 Speaker 4: they delivering planes that are safe? 2478 02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:48,720 Speaker 9: Jay, We hope so that is the plan, and normally 2479 02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:51,480 Speaker 9: Boeing an Airbus it's fifty to fifty, but obviously with 2480 02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:53,600 Speaker 9: the production delays that we've been talking about with Boeing, 2481 02:08:53,920 --> 02:08:56,160 Speaker 9: that's not been the case for the last several years. 2482 02:08:56,560 --> 02:08:59,720 Speaker 9: But Boeing is starting to close the gap. I was 2483 02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:02,560 Speaker 9: looking at the numbers for Airbus. Airbus has delivered five 2484 02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:06,680 Speaker 9: hundred and sixty eight aircraft to date and Boeing four 2485 02:09:06,760 --> 02:09:09,040 Speaker 9: hundred and forty. Now that's a little bit closer than 2486 02:09:09,080 --> 02:09:12,160 Speaker 9: what it's been of late. But what's really interesting, Brian, 2487 02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:14,440 Speaker 9: and we've talked about this from time to time, is 2488 02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:18,440 Speaker 9: the backlog of airplanes. Now, keep in mind, Airbus is 2489 02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:21,560 Speaker 9: hoping to deliver about nine hundred airplanes this year. They 2490 02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:25,400 Speaker 9: have a backlog at Airbus of eight thousand, seven hundred 2491 02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:29,280 Speaker 9: and sixteen jets that they still have to build. Airbus 2492 02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:33,000 Speaker 9: has got the eighty seven hundred. Boeing's backlog is sixty 2493 02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:36,720 Speaker 9: five hundred and thirty one jets Between them, that's fifteen 2494 02:09:37,080 --> 02:09:40,720 Speaker 9: thousand planes that have been ordered that they have yet 2495 02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:44,080 Speaker 9: to be built and delivered. And that's why if you 2496 02:09:44,360 --> 02:09:46,720 Speaker 9: order a jet today, yeah, it's going to be delivered 2497 02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:50,000 Speaker 9: sometime during the next presidential administration, because it's going to 2498 02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:52,920 Speaker 9: take a long time. When you're cranking out a thousand 2499 02:09:52,960 --> 02:09:56,200 Speaker 9: airplanes a year and you you've got a backlog of 2500 02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:59,160 Speaker 9: eighty seven hundred, Yeah, it's going to take some time. 2501 02:09:59,240 --> 02:10:01,240 Speaker 9: And that's why a lot of times we talked about 2502 02:10:01,280 --> 02:10:04,960 Speaker 9: why do one airline buy another airline because the fact 2503 02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:08,760 Speaker 9: that if you want to increase the size of your fleet, yeah, 2504 02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:11,240 Speaker 9: you can get in line with everybody else, or you 2505 02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,520 Speaker 9: can go buy a Spirit or somebody else and immediately 2506 02:10:14,760 --> 02:10:18,240 Speaker 9: increase your fleet by a couple hundred aircraft of the 2507 02:10:18,320 --> 02:10:20,800 Speaker 9: type that that you want to use. So that's one 2508 02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:23,280 Speaker 9: of the reasons a lot of times you'll see those acquisitions. 2509 02:10:23,320 --> 02:10:25,720 Speaker 9: It's not so much market based, do you like where 2510 02:10:25,760 --> 02:10:27,680 Speaker 9: they fly the schedule type of thing. It's the fact 2511 02:10:27,680 --> 02:10:30,800 Speaker 9: that you want the equipment that that air airline saw 2512 02:10:31,120 --> 02:10:35,200 Speaker 9: or flies. But yeah, Boeing's making up some distance there 2513 02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:37,560 Speaker 9: and yeah, we'll see if they can continue to close 2514 02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:37,960 Speaker 9: that gap. 2515 02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:40,640 Speaker 4: All right, Well, considering the the data of you know, 2516 02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:44,040 Speaker 4: signing the contract to purchase and the data delivery decade. 2517 02:10:45,040 --> 02:10:47,720 Speaker 4: What of all the technological advances that might occur over 2518 02:10:47,800 --> 02:10:49,720 Speaker 4: that period of time, wouldn't you want the most state 2519 02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:53,360 Speaker 4: of the art, safest, quietest, most efficient fuel wise aircraft? 2520 02:10:53,440 --> 02:10:55,240 Speaker 4: And I got to imagine that type of research and 2521 02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:57,120 Speaker 4: development is going on all the time. We've got a 2522 02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:59,480 Speaker 4: lot quieter planes out in the world than we used to. So, 2523 02:10:59,600 --> 02:11:02,200 Speaker 4: oh yeah, are you getting today? Like if I order 2524 02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:04,480 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five, is that the kind of technology 2525 02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:07,280 Speaker 4: I'm getting in twenty thirty five when the thing shows up? 2526 02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:10,080 Speaker 4: Or do you get the benefit of an improvements you do? 2527 02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:12,680 Speaker 9: Because what happens the avionics package is normally one of 2528 02:11:12,720 --> 02:11:14,080 Speaker 9: the last things that they're going to be putting in, 2529 02:11:14,200 --> 02:11:15,640 Speaker 9: so it's going to be the state of the art 2530 02:11:15,680 --> 02:11:17,760 Speaker 9: of what you have. A lot like the power plant 2531 02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:19,800 Speaker 9: or the engines that you put on an aircraft or 2532 02:11:20,240 --> 02:11:22,480 Speaker 9: are you know, towards the end of the aircraft be 2533 02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:26,280 Speaker 9: being produced and installed. So that's one of the things 2534 02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:28,040 Speaker 9: that you look at there. So yeah, you would be 2535 02:11:28,520 --> 02:11:30,760 Speaker 9: getting the benefit of that. That would be almost insult 2536 02:11:30,800 --> 02:11:33,400 Speaker 9: to injury if you had to worry, If you had 2537 02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:36,400 Speaker 9: to worry about getting an airplane. Yeah that had a 2538 02:11:36,520 --> 02:11:39,480 Speaker 9: package of you know, ten years old on some of 2539 02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:42,680 Speaker 9: its components. Yeah, that's not what we're after, and fortunately 2540 02:11:42,760 --> 02:11:45,000 Speaker 9: that's not the case. But you know, these airplanes, they 2541 02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:47,200 Speaker 9: continue to get more quiet, they continue to get more 2542 02:11:47,240 --> 02:11:52,640 Speaker 9: fuel efficient, and they allow the airlines to be more profitable. 2543 02:11:52,720 --> 02:11:54,560 Speaker 9: And you know, one of the things that blows my 2544 02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:58,360 Speaker 9: mind to this day is continuing to see airlines like 2545 02:11:58,480 --> 02:12:03,680 Speaker 9: Delta in United that report quarterly profits of more than 2546 02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:07,240 Speaker 9: a billion dollars. Delta just last week announced their third 2547 02:12:07,320 --> 02:12:11,920 Speaker 9: quarter profit was one point four billion dollars in the 2548 02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:16,040 Speaker 9: third United was a much less impressive nine hundred million, 2549 02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:18,680 Speaker 9: I think or so in the third quarter. But Brian, 2550 02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:21,440 Speaker 9: what just blows my mind is, I remember all the 2551 02:12:21,520 --> 02:12:24,960 Speaker 9: decades when airlines were losing money like crazy. You couldn't 2552 02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:27,720 Speaker 9: get Warren Buffett to buy an airline stock if you 2553 02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:30,680 Speaker 9: dared him. But what happened was airlines have gotten to 2554 02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,920 Speaker 9: the point now where they're using the credit cards and 2555 02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:36,840 Speaker 9: the other things to help them make this money. From 2556 02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:39,760 Speaker 9: a revenue standpoint, last year, the big four airlines made 2557 02:12:39,800 --> 02:12:43,640 Speaker 9: eight billion dollars in profit collectively, those four But when 2558 02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:46,400 Speaker 9: you look at the boring numbers. What we talk about 2559 02:12:46,440 --> 02:12:49,440 Speaker 9: the available seat miles per carrier and the revenue generated 2560 02:12:49,720 --> 02:12:53,720 Speaker 9: per available seat mile. They're actually losing money on the 2561 02:12:53,840 --> 02:12:59,080 Speaker 9: transportation side of the equation. Think about that. If all 2562 02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:04,520 Speaker 9: they did was transportation and that was the sole vein 2563 02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:06,480 Speaker 9: of their revenue stream, they would be losing money in 2564 02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:08,839 Speaker 9: a lot of it. But because they've got the ancillary 2565 02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:12,440 Speaker 9: fairs and those credit cards, you're now seeing this revenue 2566 02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:16,840 Speaker 9: being generated at just an unbelievable pace. And that's why. 2567 02:13:16,960 --> 02:13:19,680 Speaker 9: You know, everybody's got a credit card that's tied to 2568 02:13:19,760 --> 02:13:21,360 Speaker 9: miles and things of this nature. Whether or not we 2569 02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:24,080 Speaker 9: use them or not another thing. But that's where they're 2570 02:13:24,080 --> 02:13:28,480 Speaker 9: making this money from other resources in additional revenue streams, 2571 02:13:28,520 --> 02:13:32,680 Speaker 9: and it's really become a multifaceted business where you've got 2572 02:13:32,760 --> 02:13:35,800 Speaker 9: these multiple revenue streams that are contributing to these un 2573 02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:38,160 Speaker 9: I mean, the idea that an airline could make a 2574 02:13:38,240 --> 02:13:41,520 Speaker 9: billion dollars in profit in a year was unthinkable a 2575 02:13:41,600 --> 02:13:43,840 Speaker 9: number of years ago. Now you've got United doing it 2576 02:13:43,920 --> 02:13:47,839 Speaker 9: almost every quarter, as is Delta, and it just it's mind. 2577 02:13:47,680 --> 02:13:50,840 Speaker 4: Boggling mind modeling. Most notably that it isn't based upon 2578 02:13:50,920 --> 02:13:53,080 Speaker 4: the core function of their business, which is air trap. 2579 02:13:53,240 --> 02:13:56,000 Speaker 9: Why do that, Well, you know, any business has multiple 2580 02:13:56,040 --> 02:13:59,280 Speaker 9: revenue streams they need to. But when you look at 2581 02:13:59,320 --> 02:14:01,720 Speaker 9: the fact that, hey, we're in business to transport people 2582 02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:04,640 Speaker 9: and just because of the competition, thank God for the 2583 02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:07,280 Speaker 9: low cost carriers. That's why anytime we get a low 2584 02:14:07,320 --> 02:14:09,840 Speaker 9: cost carrier in Cincinnati, and we've had some recent news 2585 02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:13,760 Speaker 9: with Frontier and Allegiance which has really been exciting at Cincinnati. 2586 02:14:14,440 --> 02:14:17,960 Speaker 9: I love it because the stronger these low cost carriers are, 2587 02:14:18,400 --> 02:14:21,280 Speaker 9: the more in check they keep these larger legacy carriers. 2588 02:14:21,680 --> 02:14:24,640 Speaker 9: And regardless of which city I'm talking to across the country, 2589 02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:27,080 Speaker 9: when they say, hey, Jay, we just landed a Breeze 2590 02:14:27,200 --> 02:14:30,480 Speaker 9: or a Legion or a Frontier, I'm thinking, great, make 2591 02:14:30,520 --> 02:14:33,120 Speaker 9: sure you support them because they're the reason that we 2592 02:14:33,200 --> 02:14:36,240 Speaker 9: have these low fares. If these airlines like a Spirit 2593 02:14:36,320 --> 02:14:39,520 Speaker 9: and others start to disappear from the landscape, we're toast 2594 02:14:39,640 --> 02:14:43,680 Speaker 9: because these large legacy carriers will start to raise their fares. 2595 02:14:43,720 --> 02:14:48,080 Speaker 4: As we've seen before, Yeah, the old c and. 2596 02:14:48,160 --> 02:14:50,320 Speaker 9: That's what Well, we had no competition at the time, 2597 02:14:50,440 --> 02:14:53,280 Speaker 9: no low cost carriers, so Frontier kind of broke that model. 2598 02:14:53,280 --> 02:14:55,120 Speaker 9: A number of years ago. Thank God for that, bringing 2599 02:14:55,160 --> 02:14:57,400 Speaker 9: that one flight from Dayton that they had for seven 2600 02:14:57,480 --> 02:15:00,440 Speaker 9: years down to Cincinnati to Denver and the next thing 2601 02:15:00,480 --> 02:15:02,400 Speaker 9: you know, they're going crazy. Here comes Allegiant, here comes 2602 02:15:02,480 --> 02:15:05,720 Speaker 9: everybody else. Right, So it's because of that, So please 2603 02:15:05,800 --> 02:15:08,880 Speaker 9: continue to support those low cost carriers. And at the 2604 02:15:08,960 --> 02:15:11,960 Speaker 9: website at the Cincinnat Airport CBG Airport, you can see 2605 02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:13,960 Speaker 9: where some of these new low cost carriers are bringing 2606 02:15:14,040 --> 02:15:17,000 Speaker 9: him back some of their seasonal service, introducing new service, 2607 02:15:17,560 --> 02:15:20,120 Speaker 9: and it's really some exciting things to see and I'm 2608 02:15:20,160 --> 02:15:22,880 Speaker 9: thrilled that the community is supporting them as we are. 2609 02:15:23,440 --> 02:15:25,360 Speaker 4: Jay Ratlif Pause, We're bringing back for a real quick hit. 2610 02:15:25,400 --> 02:15:27,840 Speaker 4: We'll end on a comical note. And even though it 2611 02:15:27,920 --> 02:15:30,560 Speaker 4: involves a sad and pathetic passenger and to get a 2612 02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:33,680 Speaker 4: hub delay, don't go away right backer. See Deep Talk 2613 02:15:33,800 --> 02:15:39,280 Speaker 4: Station eight if you want, if you have Karcite Talk 2614 02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:42,760 Speaker 4: station closing another Thursday with one more segment with iHeartMedia 2615 02:15:42,760 --> 02:15:47,440 Speaker 4: aviation expert Jay Rattleff from the Don't Be That Guy file. 2616 02:15:47,520 --> 02:15:50,080 Speaker 4: We got another passenger attacking crew members. What's this one 2617 02:15:50,120 --> 02:15:50,760 Speaker 4: all about? Jay? 2618 02:15:51,320 --> 02:15:54,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, this is a don't be that woman story because 2619 02:15:54,680 --> 02:15:57,280 Speaker 9: this was a sixty sixty one year old passenger that 2620 02:15:57,440 --> 02:15:59,280 Speaker 9: was a board of a Last airline's flight. It was 2621 02:15:59,320 --> 02:16:02,080 Speaker 9: scheduled to fly from Portland to Dallas. But during the 2622 02:16:02,120 --> 02:16:06,000 Speaker 9: course of the flight, this woman started acting irrationally and 2623 02:16:06,160 --> 02:16:08,200 Speaker 9: flight attendants were trying to come to her aid, well, 2624 02:16:08,240 --> 02:16:11,440 Speaker 9: that's when she struck them, and that's all it took 2625 02:16:11,640 --> 02:16:14,600 Speaker 9: that she was immediately restrained. Flight was diverted and you 2626 02:16:14,680 --> 02:16:16,840 Speaker 9: know it's bad when you have to divert to Boise Idoh, 2627 02:16:16,960 --> 02:16:20,320 Speaker 9: but that's where they landed to get her off, and 2628 02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:24,040 Speaker 9: obviously the airline quickly came out saying, you know, charges 2629 02:16:24,080 --> 02:16:27,480 Speaker 9: could be filed obviously, you know, assaulting a flight attendant, 2630 02:16:27,720 --> 02:16:30,080 Speaker 9: and also that she'll never be flying the Last Airlines 2631 02:16:30,080 --> 02:16:33,000 Speaker 9: ever again, which is good. But then back to my 2632 02:16:33,520 --> 02:16:36,720 Speaker 9: overused comment that she can still fly any other airline 2633 02:16:36,720 --> 02:16:39,840 Speaker 9: in the country she wants to after assaulting a crew member, 2634 02:16:39,879 --> 02:16:43,280 Speaker 9: which should not be allowed, but continues to be so. 2635 02:16:43,520 --> 02:16:46,680 Speaker 9: So one of these Brian, it's going to take something 2636 02:16:46,760 --> 02:16:48,800 Speaker 9: serious and that's when the airlines are going to decide 2637 02:16:48,840 --> 02:16:50,800 Speaker 9: that that's when they need to do it, at which 2638 02:16:50,879 --> 02:16:53,120 Speaker 9: point we'll be screaming, why did it take this long 2639 02:16:53,400 --> 02:16:55,800 Speaker 9: for us? To make that kind of a decision. 2640 02:16:55,959 --> 02:16:59,440 Speaker 4: It's like our lithium battery discussions from time to time. Yeah, 2641 02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:02,279 Speaker 4: wait till that happens on an eight hundred passenger airplane 2642 02:17:02,360 --> 02:17:03,039 Speaker 4: Jay ratlift. 2643 02:17:03,400 --> 02:17:05,959 Speaker 9: Let's hope, not hope, not lee all. 2644 02:17:05,920 --> 02:17:07,640 Speaker 4: Right, as we typically do or always do, if we 2645 02:17:07,760 --> 02:17:09,840 Speaker 4: can fit in hub delays. How's it looking out there 2646 02:17:09,879 --> 02:17:12,000 Speaker 4: today for air travel one of. 2647 02:17:12,040 --> 02:17:14,440 Speaker 9: The days of the week we've had to fly. I 2648 02:17:14,440 --> 02:17:17,160 Speaker 9: think Salt Lake City is about the only hub that 2649 02:17:17,240 --> 02:17:19,360 Speaker 9: I've been able to find from a weather standpoint that 2650 02:17:19,440 --> 02:17:22,760 Speaker 9: could see some delays. Chicago may be late in the day, 2651 02:17:22,760 --> 02:17:23,440 Speaker 9: but I think that's. 2652 02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:23,880 Speaker 2: Going to be minimal. 2653 02:17:23,920 --> 02:17:25,600 Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be Salt Lake and I don't 2654 02:17:25,640 --> 02:17:27,640 Speaker 9: think the delays are going to be any more than 2655 02:17:27,680 --> 02:17:29,879 Speaker 9: thirty to forty minutes there. So if you picked today, 2656 02:17:30,360 --> 02:17:32,000 Speaker 9: you picked a great one, not only from the good 2657 02:17:32,040 --> 02:17:35,400 Speaker 9: weather standpoint, but probably a reduction in turbulence, which is 2658 02:17:35,440 --> 02:17:37,760 Speaker 9: also nice. But that doesn't mean not to keep seatbelt on, 2659 02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:38,320 Speaker 9: please do so. 2660 02:17:38,480 --> 02:17:41,000 Speaker 4: Is you flying fair enough? But what I'm hearing is 2661 02:17:41,240 --> 02:17:44,160 Speaker 4: the government shutdown, even though it may impact air traffic, 2662 02:17:44,200 --> 02:17:47,440 Speaker 4: controller salaries or something, is not impacting air travel itself. 2663 02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:48,119 Speaker 4: At least yet. 2664 02:17:48,879 --> 02:17:48,920 Speaker 2: No. 2665 02:17:49,080 --> 02:17:53,560 Speaker 9: Last Friday we had thirty nine hundred flights that were delayed, 2666 02:17:54,120 --> 02:17:56,000 Speaker 9: and a lot of that's being touted because of the 2667 02:17:56,160 --> 02:17:58,360 Speaker 9: shut down blah blah blah blah blah. But again to 2668 02:17:58,440 --> 02:18:02,200 Speaker 9: introduce facts to the story, the average number of delays 2669 02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:05,039 Speaker 9: we've had this year has been forty one hundred a day. 2670 02:18:05,959 --> 02:18:08,840 Speaker 9: We actually had fewer delays on the snapshot I took 2671 02:18:08,879 --> 02:18:11,920 Speaker 9: on Friday than what we normally have, so that would 2672 02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:15,119 Speaker 9: lend me to say, yes, we are having pockets of problems. 2673 02:18:15,160 --> 02:18:17,520 Speaker 9: I won't discount that, but Brian, don't tell me we're 2674 02:18:17,560 --> 02:18:19,680 Speaker 9: having a coast to coast problem if we have fewer 2675 02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:23,600 Speaker 9: delays now per day than what we have normally. 2676 02:18:24,600 --> 02:18:27,360 Speaker 4: Fair enough, Jay Rayliffe, thank you so much for joining 2677 02:18:27,400 --> 02:18:30,560 Speaker 4: the program every week.
