Tom Cravin's got 20 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: a book, Running Deep. See here. Tom's going to join 21 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: the program at eight oh five to talk about Running Deep. 22 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Let's see you here, Running Deepell appeal to fans of 23 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: the Hunt for Red October and The Run Silent, Run Deep. 24 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: Got submarine warfare, high stakes, deadly outcomes, compelling storytelling about 25 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: a vital portion of the war in the Pacific theater submariner. 26 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: Mike Cribbage, Mike, you out there, better tune in an 27 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: eight oh five. Got one of your buddies writing a 28 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: book about submarine life. Judge Nanopolitano a Trumpian headache. It's 29 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: another article about using military force to kill people in 30 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: speedboats in international waters fifteen hundred miles away from the 31 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: United States. The Judge and I share our I share 32 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: the same objection to that. Neither of us believe it 33 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: to be constitutional or lawful. I know, if we have 34 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: an eminent threat, we're allowed to go after somebody. But 35 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: just because the drugs are fifteen hundred miles away and 36 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: are intended perhaps we don't know what those people are 37 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: thinking are intended for the shores of the United States. 38 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: We do have our own territorial waters where we can 39 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: easily grab them. Look, if we can track a submarine 40 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred two thousand miles away, we can probably follow 41 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: it to the coast of the United States of America, 42 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: send out the coast Guard and pick it up. Maybe 43 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: drop a depth charge or something. I don't know, but anyway, 44 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: that's at least the subject of his article. Maybe other 45 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: topics to talk about. Maybe the judge wants to talk 46 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: about a shutdown, by the way, the government still shut 47 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: down after after Judge Napolitano. I'm interested in having Lakita 48 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: Cole on the program. Look, she's on the program beginning 49 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: at the last segment of the program, Charter Committee candidate 50 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: for Sinceei City Council.

Nikita Cole coming up 52 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: at the tail end of the show in the eight 53 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: o'clock hour. I love hearing from you.

John Bender returned to the program. 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: That was yesterday at eight oh five We got the 64 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: Empower You Mike McCormick thing.

I was at a fun fundraiser 67 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: for Corey Bowman last night. The good people of Wyoming, 68 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: I know, a very blue leaning community, but they have 69 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: a lot of conservative minded folks. But they also have 70 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot of concern for what goes on the city 71 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. Why because Wyoming butt's right up against the 72 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati, and the elections in the City of Cincinnati, 73 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: as I've pointed out many times over the years, impact 74 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: the entire region. I mean Butler County, Warren County, Claremont County. 75 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: Of course, all the people in Hamilton County got Northern 76 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: Kentucky impacted by the actions of the city of Cincinnati. 77 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: Even some carryover into Southeast Indiana to a certain degree, 78 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: it's important what they do. It's the well, the center 79 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: of the wheel. And so of course, the closer you 80 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: get to the city of Cincinnati's borders, the more the 81 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: city's activities and decision making impacts you. And that, of 82 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: course resulted in a lot of people in Wyoming interested 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: in hearing what Corey Bowman is about, what he is 84 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: running for, what his policies are, and maybe providing him 85 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: with some financial support, maybe some yard signs, maybe reaching 86 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: out and talking to the people that they know in 87 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: the city. And it was good because Corey asked people 88 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: to raise their hands. Anybody in this room have businesses 89 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati? About four or five people raise their hand. 90 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Does anybody in the room have relatives or friends that 91 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: live in the city of Cincinnati. A whole bunch of 92 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: people raise their hand, So appeal to them. Listen, you 93 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: know you're impacted. Can you reach out? And that's a 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: great thing. And I'm going to ask my listeners you 95 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: might not live in the city, and you might not. 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: Now why has Thomas spent so much time talking about 97 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati election. Well, I just explained that it's critically important, 98 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: but you have influence and sway over people who might 99 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: not even consider going in and voting when you only 100 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: expect twenty five or six percent voter turnout. Your vote 101 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: is so important if you live in the city, So 102 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: engage in some outreach. Call up your friends, your residents 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: in the city. You know them. I have a conversation 104 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: with him listening, you're happy about I have to have 105 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: provoll Do you believe he's paying attention to the needs 106 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: of the city residents. Do you think he really has 107 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: an action plan that's going to effectively deal with crime? 108 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: Do you believe he's effectively dealt with crime thus far? 109 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: Do you believe that he was a propriating his treatment 110 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: of police Chief Threes the Thigi I was Cheryl Long. 111 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Now Cheryl Long took the directive from AFTAB aftabs looking 112 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: for cover, and there's some internal pulling floating around out there, 113 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: which suggests maybe AFTAB is in trouble. I don't want 114 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: to interject too much optimism on this, because I'm a realist. 115 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: I understand what a colossal Sissophian battle that Corey Bowman 116 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: is facing when he's challenging a Democrat mayor incumbat of course, 117 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: in a very blue city, but there's a lot of 118 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: very angry sow I say, red in the face, angry 119 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: Blue voters that may turn their back on the status quo. 120 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: And that's why I thought it was so refreshing to 121 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: see all those residents of Wyoming showing up at the 122 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: meeting and finding out about what Corey Bowman is, maybe 123 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: seeing him for the first time. And I appreciate the 124 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: opportunity to be there. Tara, thank you for inviting me 125 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: to facilitate that. It was a wonderful opportunity. Yesterday, Police 126 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: Chief Theji's lawyer was out made some really good points. 127 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: Finny Law firm. Stephen m of the Fidy Law Law Firm, 128 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: in a written statement which he read to the press, 129 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: called the decision putting her own administrative leave disheartening, describing 130 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: Chief Thigi as devastated and the fundamental point, which I 131 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: thought was an excellent one, they had no reason of 132 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: taking any action against her, he said. In fact, the 133 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: city does not even have a claim or does not 134 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: even claim to have a cause for removing her from 135 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: her job. And think about that, it's a very valid point. 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: Why was Police Chief Thiji removed because of what crime? 137 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: Isn't she limited in her ability to deal with crime, 138 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: because of course she's been told by the mayor and 139 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: the city manager how to run the operation. But she's 140 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: also short staffed a lot. She's got to juggle the 141 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: walls of dealing with overtime and some really exhausted police officers. 142 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: She's got to deal with a declining number of police 143 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: officers because so many of them are taking early retirement. 144 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: But his point, he elaborated, to a certain degree, the 145 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: governed the city's government by the city charter, And he 146 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: pointed out, and I'm going to take him at his word, 147 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: after six months of employment, she can only be dismissed 148 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: for cause. This is not at will employment. Apparently, now 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio, you and I are subject 150 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: to at will employment unless we've got a contract, unless 151 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: we have got, say a union, or we have a 152 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: charter that specifically deals with the terms and conditions of 153 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: our employment. We out here in the private sector don't 154 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: have that. But apparently the city charter requires cause for dismissal. Now, 155 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: what is it that she did that creates the cause 156 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: to have her removed? His point, Stephen, nothing. Then, he said, 157 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: she's being used as a political scapegoat. And political pond 158 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: Terry deserves better than this, since I deserves better than this. Well, 159 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: I stopped when I read that statement, and I thought, 160 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: you know what, did I have to have Purval think 161 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: he was going to get some benefit from removing Chief DJ. 162 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean she was hand selected by him and Cheryl Long, 163 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: hand selected by him and Cheryl Long over the police 164 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: department's best wishes. They had somebody else in mind, and 165 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: they overwhelming and rejected DJI and went with someone else. 166 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't remember his name or her name, 167 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: but the point being the leader of the folks or 168 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: the leader of the police right selected by Purball along, 169 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: which is not what the police wanted. So their person 170 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: was in charge. And by all accounts, and ken Kober's 171 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: been on the program talking about this, widely reported. Of course, 172 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: she answered to both of them obviously a very politically 173 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: charged job, since the mayor and the city manager had 174 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: the opportunity to fire her. I guess with cause we 175 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: went down this road with Mike Washington. Michael Washington, former 176 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: fire chief. He's getting ready to get big fat payday 177 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: because city manager Long and after a par Ball canned 178 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: him for no reason. Ah't they didn't learn anything, which 179 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: makes me go back to think about this plan. If 180 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: she is intended to be the scapegoat, if sort of 181 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: look over there, Fiji's to blame for crime in the city, 182 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: says they have to have parble through Cheryl Long Whatever. 183 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: Does that make sense to you? Are you buying that 184 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: or do you feel more like well, is he in 185 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: desperation mode? Is he really so concerned about his reelection 186 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: capable or his re election that he needs to deflect attention. 187 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. It just seems like a dumb political maneuver. 188 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: If if really, in fact, he hopes that we all 189 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: believe Fiji's responsible for all of this. Anyway, Fiji apparently, 190 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: according to her attorney, she wants to go back to 191 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: work as police chief. She does not want to leave 192 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: the police department. She will not accept a lesser position. 193 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: She has no plan to resign at all, even though 194 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: the city apparently asked her to resign late last week. 195 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: Em said she was given no reason for that request, 196 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: she did not initiate discussions about her resignation, and she 197 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: had no desire to resign. She has no desire to resign. 198 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: She has no intention to resign. Close quote well, he 199 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: made that pretty clear, didn't he. So where did this 200 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: Where did this drum beat to go after Police Chief 201 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: DJ come from? Anyway? 202 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 3: Hmm? 203 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: Obviously politics are a play here. We have an election 204 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: fast approaching. I just wonder if the residents of the 205 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: city as little as they pay attention to politics generally. 206 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I didn't sound like such a critic. 207 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: There's some residents of the city out there screaming at 208 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: the radio app me. You go, well, now we saw 209 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: we pay attention. Fine, Is there gonna be enough time 210 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: for the voters in the city of SINCEINNI who are 211 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: going to show up to absorb all this and process 212 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: it and try to make some sense out of it. 213 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. In a statement yesterday, Aftab par Ball 214 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: said he was referring to a meeting that he had 215 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: with interim Police Chief Henny. During that meeting, we discussed 216 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: his plan emphasis on greater use of technology, visibility, and 217 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: rapid response to critical incidents. In other words, the future 218 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: of crime fighting in downtown Cincinnati with the new interim 219 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: police chief. I suppose Aftab, since he was directing Police 220 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: Chief DJ all along about how she should conduct law enforcement, 221 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: probably could have sat down with her last week and 222 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: had this same conversation. Hey, Chief DJ, let's talk about 223 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: technology visibility, let's talk about rapid response to critical incidents. 224 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: And this is an Please, dear God if you know 225 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: the answer to what the hell this means? And I 226 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: kind of think I do, but I don't know because 227 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: this statement all I got is the statement from pearl 228 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: Ball from yesterday. All right, so during the meeting we 229 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: discussed his plan emphsis, love of technology, rapid response, incidence 230 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: and here's the further quote on top of spearheading the 231 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: recommendations from the Climate Assessment. What the hell is that? 232 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: You know? I first read that, knowing how green have 233 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: to have purvol is and how his emphasis seems to 234 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: be almost exclusively on green energy policies and reducing carbon 235 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: emissions from the City of Cincinnati, pardon of me wanted 236 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: to believe that's exactly what he was talking about. What 237 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: are we dealing with the police chiefs or the police 238 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: departments emissions? Now, actually, maybe the Climate Assessment is this 239 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: evaluation they're doing on police chief Fiji, which her lawyer 240 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: pointed out is like reverse engineering. We've seen this with 241 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: the like the federal government administration. You go out into 242 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: the world, you have no indication that any wrongdoing has happened, 243 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: go through the records, violate people's constitutional rights, and then 244 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: discover a crime and then prosecute him for a crime 245 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: that you had no probable cause to believe had been committed. 246 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: Here asked about the investigation of the city is conducting 247 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: into Fiji and who would be responsible for it? Her lawyers, 248 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: Your guess is as good as mine. Here we go. 249 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: This is a situation where a sentence has already been 250 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: passed on Terry, and now the city is looking to 251 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: see if they can find a crime that she committed. 252 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: In other words, they have no basis to terminate her 253 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: under the city charter. There is no cause to dismiss 254 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: or pause for a moment per run administrative leave, rifle 255 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: through the records, rifle through her conduct. Talk to some 256 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: police officers, see if we can't drum up some things 257 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: to charge her with and provide a justification for firing her. 258 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Five twenty fifty five k C Detalk station. Feel free 259 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: to call. Got plenty of things going on this morning, 260 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: looking forward to phone calls, and of course, bottomly, our 261 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: news stack is stupid. I'll be right back fifty five 262 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: harm five twenty three eighty two to three pound five 263 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: fifty one eight. He founds, you know, further to this 264 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: whole Fiji thing, nobody seems to have any idea what's 265 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: going on. Scott Wortman over the Inquirre, trying to get 266 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: some comments from since A council members. They pretty much 267 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: have no idea. Frustrated one word used to describe the 268 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: situation court of Wartman's reporting. Some city council members who 269 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: talk with the enquire express frustration. Quote from city councilman 270 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: Jeff Crammerting, I'm very frustrated this is happening in public, 271 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: meaning this employment dispute. I think, as he characterized it, 272 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: personnel decisions, he said, are the responsibility of the city manager. Well, 273 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: of course, but the person who's in charge of the 274 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: Cincinna Police Department, the appointment of that person is always 275 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: subject to scrutiny. It's always been followed and reported on 276 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: every time they go out into the world looking for 277 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: a replacement for the chief because one retires. If something happens, 278 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: Chief Craig leaves or whatever, it's always reported. And of 279 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: course this reflects a breakdown in the administration. The current 280 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: administration a mighty so it's very newsworthy to talk about this. 281 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: So he can be frustrated all day long. But this 282 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: is a personal decision which widely impacts the residents of 283 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: the city. So yes, it's gonna be reported. Vice Marriage 284 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: michel lemon Kearney. I'm sure the chief is still in charge. 285 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: Although she said that on Monday, we all know that, No, 286 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: she is no longer in charge. Scottie Johnson, countsman. It's 287 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: an administrative issue that I don't have a clue about. 288 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on his words. All I 289 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: know is what you guys are reporting now. Isn't that 290 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: a reflection of a poorly oiled machine, this administration. Don't 291 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: you think it would be important purvol surrounded by Democrats, 292 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: they're all the same stripe. Don't you think he would 293 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: set it out for him? Here's what's going on, Here's 294 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: why I'm doing this. You're gonna all get outs questions 295 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: about it. I want to be clear with you, I 296 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: want to be open with you. I want to give 297 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: you the explanation of why this is going on. No, nothing, 298 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: it is a personal decision. Council members aren't a part 299 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: of the decision making process, but they're certainly interested in 300 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: the outcome and how we got from there to hear 301 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: AFTAB going back to a suggestion by Christopher Smithman, it's 302 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: an outstanding one. More and more people. I'm going to 303 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: even ask Lakdaicle to tell into the program when she's 304 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: on if she likes the idea. Rather than let the 305 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: manager and the mayor be exclusively responsible for hiring and 306 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: firing the chief, obviously politicizing the role heavily, why not 307 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: require one hundred percent unanimous approval from the entire council 308 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: when hiring and firing a police chief. I think that's 309 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: a great idea. We'll see what happens for twenty six. 310 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: A new administration might bring that kind of change about 311 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: having dealt with this nonsense. Don't go away, We've got 312 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: local stories or phone calls. 313 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: Be right back fifty five KRC dot com. 314 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: This is Jacob got twenty nine Wednesday, Happy one.

It affects your wallet, it 378 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 5: affects the safety of your community, It affects you. You 379 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 5: need to take responsibility as a voter and do something 380 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 5: about it.

Larry, thanks 689 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 1: for holding over and welcome to the morning show. 690 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 2: Yes, good morning. I would want to get an update 691 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 2: from me if you can about the incident downtown there 692 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 2: with the fellows that beat up the guy and the girl. 693 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 2: Are they I haven't heard anything about. Are they still 694 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 2: in jail? Do they have ankle monitors? And the guy 695 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: that they beat up is he Did he ever get 696 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 2: released or is he still in jail? Do you have 697 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 2: any kind of I don't think that. 698 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the guy that got beat up. I 699 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: think that citation was issued for him slapping the other guy, 700 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: but that would not result at him being incarcerated. There's 701 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: nothing that warrant's incarceration for the slap. But in so 702 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: far as the others are concerned, there was a local 703 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: store I didn't get to. One of the suspects who's 704 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: facing the felony charges from the beatdown on July twenty six. 705 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: Apparently this guy has paranoid schizophrenia and his lawyer was 706 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: in court the other day demanding that Dominic Kittle get 707 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: the help he needs in a hospital. Apparently he lost way. 708 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: They say he's got a kidney ailman. His attorney's believing 709 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: he's being a hospital. Common Police Judge Allison Hathway order 710 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: him to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital once one 711 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: became available, but apparently the only place he can go 712 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: is some behavioral health care in roseland have a ten 713 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: week weight. There might be an illustration of a broader 714 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: problem we have in society, insufficient space where criminal folks 715 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: who are struggling from cognitive problems. Anyway, he is still incarcerated. 716 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: I do believe others are. Some of them have posted bail. 717 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 1: His bail or his bond was two hundred ninety thousand dollars. 718 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: He does not have the money or resources to post it, 719 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: which is why he's still incarcerated. That's the only That's 720 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: the latest I've got on that one. So things are 721 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 1: still pending. Chargers are still filed, and keep that popcorn 722 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: out Larry's I always like to joke. 723 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 2: Okay, one more thing, if you don't mind one more thing, 724 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 2: Does Tom have a patent on his phrase? You're your 725 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 2: most faithful caller, Tom? Okay, because I noticed a few 726 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 2: people have been using a few of your other callers, 727 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 2: and I'm about to use it right now. I hope 728 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 2: we don't have a patent, and I don't get sued, 729 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 2: but don't vote Democrat. 730 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: There you go. Appreciate it, Larry, I appreciate the sentiment. Yeah, 731 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: And anybody can feel free to use that if you 732 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: choose not copywritten, trademarked, or pat words you can't get 733 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: you can't patent words can trademark them, though Tom might 734 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,359 Speaker 1: want to consider that. Five one three, seven, nine fifty 735 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: eight hundred two three to found five fifty on eight 736 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: and T funds briefly, and I talked about the last hour. 737 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: Police Chiefdiji's lawyers came out and made really great points yesterday. 738 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 1: They have no reason to dismiss her, apparently after after 739 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: six months of employment, which she has been fully employed 740 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: by the City of Cincinnati forever, but also as police 741 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: chief for longer than six months, she can only be 742 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: dismissed for cause nor lawyer saying what what? What does 743 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: she do? Said the city does not even claim to 744 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: have caused for removing her from the job. It's a 745 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: good point. Called her a political scapegoat, political pawn, and 746 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: I think he's onto something here. Her lawyer, Stephen M 747 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,760 Speaker 1: from the Finny Law firm, also parenthetically representing Michael Washington, 748 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: former police chief who's alreadyrun. Is one is wrong for 749 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: termination cases? Just waiting to get paid. When I asked 750 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: about the investigation of the city is conducting to the 751 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: THIJI and who would be responsible for it, Attorney Steve M. 752 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: Your guess is as good as mine. This is a 753 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: situation where a sentence has already been passed on Terry 754 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: and now the city is looking to see if they 755 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: can find a crime that she committed. And it's kind 756 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: of true, isn't it. Why was she placed on administrative leave? 757 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: Did you ever hear of an explanation? City council members 758 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: have no idea? Well, I have no idea. I don't know. 759 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 1: It's a personnel matter. I don't know it. Don't pay 760 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: attention to that kind of stuff boiled down At least 761 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: the council members who were willing to talk with local 762 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: media pretty much you can boil down their comments to 763 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: what I just summarized there. Eddie, how we had to 764 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:47,240 Speaker 1: call earlier about the organization the Antifah Folks. FBI director 765 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 1: Cash Metelligist said the astrode I believe it was FBI's 766 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 1: on the verge of unmasking this what he called command 767 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 1: structure and financing of the violent anarchist group Antipha. FBI 768 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: looking into the money trail, they say there's indications of 769 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: support for anti American radical groups from foreign enemies, money 770 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: coming in from overseas, as well as US nonprofits with 771 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: IRS tax exemptions. He said more indictments will be forthcoming 772 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: in the investigation of the weaponization of the government. Another 773 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: parallel comment, but anyway. During the interview, Cash Mattel explained 774 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 1: that the effort in tracking antiphas becomes so important that 775 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: they've actually set an entire new program and division dead 776 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: rooting out them that is funding these operations. So fact 777 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: sheet from the September executive order declaring them a terrorist operation. 778 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: The order directs the federal government to investigate, disrupt, and 779 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: dismantle all illegal operations conducted by Antiphi or any person 780 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: claiming to act on behalf of Antiphi. It also calls 781 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: from investigating, disrupting, dismantally and funding sources behind such operations. 782 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: What they're onto here, I believe is ultimately a reco charge. 783 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 1: You got coordinated criminal activity. It's being well funded, well organized, 784 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: and they're following this trail. He said, We've got a 785 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 1: network of NGOs, not just Soros network, the Open Society Network, 786 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 1: other groups like Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network, 787 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: Neville Roy Singham in his network, and then foreign money 788 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: as well. So that's a serious thing. And then pivot 789 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: over to Donald Trump's success in the appeals court on 790 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: his placing the National Guard in Portland. Just recently, an 791 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: appeals court affirmed the Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals 792 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 1: of all Courses court's usually very liberal overturned the lower 793 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,919 Speaker 1: level decision blocking the President from deploying the Guard units 794 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: in Portland, Oregon. So this is a two to one decision. 795 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: But the reason I'm bringing this up now on the 796 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: heels of that Cash Bettel comment on the FBI's investigation. 797 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: The court took the time in saying Donald Trump has 798 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: the right to put these troops there to protect the 799 00:44:53,520 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 1: federal facilities and federal agents, and they're not enforcing state law. 800 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 1: They're not there to give traffic tickets to Portlanders like 801 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,439 Speaker 1: the police department would. But here's the quote from the court, 802 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: and do you recall reading in this glorious detail all 803 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,720 Speaker 1: the criminal activity that they have been conducting just there alone, 804 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: just one city among many who's been subjected to this 805 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: ANTIFA attacks on ice quote. Todays and months leading up 806 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: to the federalization order at issue here, immigration related protests 807 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: and events have occurred at several ICE facilities around the country. 808 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,360 Speaker 1: While many of these events have been peaceful, others have 809 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: been violent and even deadly. For example, September twenty fourth, 810 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,399 Speaker 1: a shooting in an ICE facility in Dallas in which 811 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: one detainee was killed and two others were seriously injured. 812 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 1: September twenty six, over two hundred protesters blocked access to 813 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: a gate and an ICE facility in Chicago. One of 814 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: the protesters apprehended with a gun in his possession. June 815 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, regular protests at Lindquist Federal Building, an 816 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: ICE facility in Portland. Some of the protests have been peaceful, 817 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: but many have turned violent. And protesters have threatened federal 818 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers in the building. DHS forced to close 819 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: the facility for more than three weeks. June eighth, protesters 820 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: placed wood rocks and a traffic barrier, apparently to impede operations. 821 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 1: June eleven, demand set fire to various material Protesters compiled 822 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: the barricade and a vehicle gate, and other protesters added 823 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 1: to the pile of materials, increasing the flames. Protesters then 824 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: placed a pole against the main lobby entrance. June fourteenth, 825 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: serious incident occurred when a group of protesters, including one 826 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: who was carrying a firearm, advance up the driveway of 827 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: the ice facility towards the main gate. They threw rocks 828 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: and sticks at the guard shack and fired m eight 829 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: fireworks at Federal Protective Service officers. Protesters through a mortar 830 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,800 Speaker 1: at the front entrance of the building, injuring an officer. 831 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: FBS officers had to extinguish two fires in front of 832 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: the building. They were forced to barricade themselves inside the building, 833 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 1: and protesters placed chains on the exterior doors. Think about 834 00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: that they chained them in the building that they are 835 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 1: basically setting on fire. Eventually, the protesters attempted to breach 836 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 1: the front door, breaking the front door's class. June twenty fourth, 837 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: protesters attempt to sit a US flag on fire in 838 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: the driveway of the ice facilitium. Later, another protester attempted 839 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: to light an incendiary device next to the guard shack. 840 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: An officer's got approached the protesters, she threatened them with knives. 841 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: Protesters also port a substance believed to be motor oil 842 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: in the vehicle entrance. Also June twenty fourth, a protesters 843 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,240 Speaker 1: shot officers with paintballs after an FBS officer warned protesters 844 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 1: to clear the building driveway. Anothers shined a laser in 845 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: an officer's light. The same night, another protester was arrested 846 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: for assaulting an officer with a machete and knife. Okay, 847 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: that's apparently. Although they reference protests around this country in 848 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: various cities, all of what I just read in the 849 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: court's opinion about what they're dealing with in Portland. These 850 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 1: are organized assaults on ice facilities, Federal property, and federal 851 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: agents governed by federal law and local law enforcement will 852 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: not protect them. State law applies. If you punch a 853 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: human being, you can be charged just like a federal 854 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: officer could be You could be charged for punching a 855 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 1: federal officer under state law. You could be charged punching 856 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: your next door neighbor under state law assault battery, that 857 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: kind of thing, setting fires in the street. I'm sure 858 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: there's a statute or ordinance, a criminal ordinance in Portland 859 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: saying that you can't do that, right, No kidding. Apparently 860 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: local law enforcement is an issuing citations or arresting people 861 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 1: for that criminal behavior threatening what federal property and federal officers' lives. 862 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: Enter the assertion of crowd control law enforcement to enforce 863 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: federal law and protect our federal agents legal. It's chaos, 864 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 1: it's dangerous, it's run amuck, it's out of control. Nobody's 865 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,320 Speaker 1: lifting a finger to prosecute and stop this criminal behavior 866 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 1: from happening. That's why Donald Trump has the authority to 867 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: bring in the National Guard. There you go, six seventeen. 868 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: If you five krs DE talk station five one three 869 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: seven fifty five hundred eight sixty two fifty five krc 870 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,959 Speaker 1: DE talk station Happy Wednesday, go straight to the phones 871 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: five one three seven fifty five hundred eight hundred two 872 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 1: three talk not sure if he was listening her ears 873 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: were burning.

I've been 914 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 10: a precinct election official out here in Claremont County for 915 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 10: ten years and I work with four precincts on the 916 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 10: voting location manager, so I have three per precincts. So 917 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 10: out of those twelve people, we have six Republicans and 918 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 10: six Democrats that work the polls, very dedicated civilians, and 919 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 10: I can only encourage people. It's still not too late 920 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,439 Speaker 10: if you'd like to become a poll worker. We still 921 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 10: have training going on and just a great way, obviously 922 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 10: your civic duty to spend thirteen hours with some really 923 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 10: great patriots. But once again you can learn a little 924 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 10: bit about the idiosyncrasies of the system, which might you 925 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 10: call your fears a little bit, just the auditing that 926 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 10: goes on just at the poll level when people come 927 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 10: in to vote, every one of those ballots are serialized. 928 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 10: You have an independent count there at the polling state 929 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 10: of check in place with the tablet, so you get 930 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 10: a count there. You had the number on that ballot, 931 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,320 Speaker 10: of the count, and when it actually goes through the 932 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 10: machine and the reader, that's another separate in the account. 933 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 10: And at the end of the day, when we shut 934 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 10: the polls at seven point thirty, I do an audit 935 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 10: right there and nothing's going to happen, but it allows 936 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 10: the Clermont County Board of Elections to know how our 937 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,800 Speaker 10: numbers all ginned up between actual votes counted, the provisional 938 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 10: ballots and the remaining serialized ballots that are left, and 939 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,879 Speaker 10: then when they actually certify the election, and if there's 940 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 10: an anomaly, then they dived into it a little bit deeper, 941 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 10: and unfortunately I cannot even though I work downtown. I 942 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 10: would love to be able to vote downtown. But Christopher 943 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,839 Speaker 10: always consistently brings up and you echo as well, about 944 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 10: the need you do not have to vote in this 945 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 10: case for nine councilmen. At any time you vote on 946 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 10: a presidential election, you just want to vote for the president. 947 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 10: Vote for the president. But what that ballot is going 948 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 10: to do, because now you have quote unquote undervoted, it's 949 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 10: going to kick that ballot out. Stay there, because it's 950 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 10: going to ask you, do you want to submit this ballot? Yes, 951 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 10: So if you want to vote just for Christopher or 952 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 10: you just want to vote for Corey Wollman, do that, 953 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 10: but that ballot's going to be kicked out, and it says, 954 00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 10: do you want to do this? If you walk away, 955 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 10: we are by law we have to soil that ballot. 956 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 10: That ballot will not count then, because we cannot assume 957 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 10: that's what you wanted to do, you. 958 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:11,360 Speaker 1: Have to affirmatively confirm that that's what your vote is. Sure, yes, sir, okay, 959 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: well and that. 960 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 10: It comes up on the screen. So just don't walk away, 961 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 10: and hopefully, because we have pollwalk watchers that stand there, 962 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 10: we'll not We don't care what you vote for, but 963 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 10: if it does get kicked out, we want to get 964 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 10: you right there because sometimes people quote unquote overvote. So 965 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 10: if you're in a category like let's say city council, 966 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 10: you you can only vote for nine. If you vote 967 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 10: for ten, eleven or twelve, it's going to kick it out. 968 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 10: Now you've over voted, right, and everybody gets three chances 969 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 10: to vote. So if you color in the wrong circle, 970 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,239 Speaker 10: you do an X instead of colored in and make 971 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 10: a simple mistake, you actually get three, you know, three 972 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 10: strikes in, you're out, all right. 973 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: In conclusion, a simple yes or no question, curbage, my 974 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 1: my dedicated service friend.

The 993 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 5: Democrats are wanting to throw three and or so dollars 994 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 5: in to their slush fun because they're having difficulties raising donations, 995 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 5: and since the nts in the US money cried up, 996 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 5: they're getting pretty best for to line in their pockets. 997 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 5: Looks to be like just something I see. 998 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not quite sure that the Democrats themselves are 999 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 1: going to get access to the federal taxpayer dollars to 1000 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 1: fund any of their own campaigns. What it's going to 1001 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 1: do is expand Obamacare. Of course, keep those subsidies in 1002 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: place that they obviously set to expire in December. And 1003 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: we can go on and on. But their list of 1004 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: demands in their version of the bill that would reopen 1005 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: the government, it ultimately totals one point two trillion dollars, 1006 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 1: and I know it's been widely reported that's six hundred 1007 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: billion of that, and that's over ten years. I suppose 1008 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 1: four hundred billion of that relates to the extension of 1009 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: the the Obamacare subsidies. But I as nefarious as these 1010 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: clowns are, in as little as I trust them, I 1011 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,760 Speaker 1: don't really think that they're going to get their hands 1012 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: directly on the money. I'm sure they've got workarounds around 1013 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: how to do that though. Charge. 1014 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a money log in operation. They have to 1015 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,919 Speaker 5: run it through the insurance company there, dranking out their premiums. Yeah, 1016 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 5: and then the insurance companys it back to of course. 1017 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly money right, yeah, in an 1018 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 1: indirect way. Yes, The money that goes out into the 1019 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 1: world through a government program lands in the lap of 1020 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:22,800 Speaker 1: a lot of well connected, well heeled, and very wealthy businesses, 1021 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 1: including medical insurance companies who do have lobbying firms that 1022 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 1: write checks the politicians who do good things for their companies. 1023 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: Thus it has sadly ever been Thank you, George, appreciated, 1024 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Gary, welcome back, my friend. Good to hear 1025 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: from you. Happy Wednesday. 1026 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:40,800 Speaker 11: It's good to hear from you. 1027 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:41,280 Speaker 5: Brian. 1028 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 11: Hey, I just I'm going to throw my two cents 1029 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,719 Speaker 11: on this useless police chief Fiji. If we all go 1030 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,719 Speaker 11: back to July, which is like a whole long time ago, 1031 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 11: if we remember the beatdown where there was five days 1032 00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 11: of silence from the police chief and the commissioners and everybody. 1033 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 11: Finally she came out and had a press conference, if 1034 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 11: you remember, and she scolded social media as only showing 1035 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,360 Speaker 11: one side of the story. And this was, if you 1036 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 11: remember Holly, who's the peak victim. We ought to ask 1037 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 11: her what she thinks of the chief's useless position. 1038 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: But Newhamster Garritt, new Amster Garrett, is that a fireable 1039 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: offense just because she chose those choice of words, and 1040 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: you know that lapse of time before she came out 1041 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: and made a statement, we're all under the firm impression 1042 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 1: by this point is three police chief threes that Thiji 1043 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 1: was not doing what Police Chief Fiji might have done 1044 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: if she was independent. She's not. She runs at the 1045 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: behest of aftab pro Ball and city Manager Long. So 1046 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: it may be that those two told Police Chief Thiji 1047 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 1: that she should say something along those lines, right, I. 1048 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 11: Agree with okay, I agree with that. But I think 1049 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 11: what we're showing as a systemic problem with their only 1050 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 11: hiring yes men and that, well, that's all it is. No, 1051 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 11: I doubt the problem is it was the whole system 1052 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 11: is busted. And you know with this bust and most 1053 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 11: of it came from the collaborative agreement from two thousand 1054 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 11: and ten, the riots and all that stuff, and two 1055 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 11: people who were they just got what they wanted and 1056 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 11: now they're running rampshot over the entire city. That's that's 1057 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 11: what it is. 1058 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: Well, and maybe all these revelations Gary and people saying 1059 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 1: question marks swirling around Thiegi's firing or being removed from 1060 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 1: from active duty, the fact that neighborhoods have not gotten 1061 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: the roads paved, the fact that we have limitations on 1062 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: how we in our own individual community can steer the 1063 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: direction of development. No, no, no, that lands in the 1064 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 1: lap of the mayor. You have no saying it. All 1065 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: of these little things piling up and piling up reflect 1066 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 1: exactly what your boiled down conclusion is. We have a 1067 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: dysfundunctional government in the city of Cincinnati. Look, we get 1068 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: to vote first week in November. Maybe we should change things, right, 1069 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 1: Let's move the kit in a different direction. 1070 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 4: So why not? 1071 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 11: I hope so? Because Cincinnati is near and dear to 1072 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 11: my heart. 1073 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: Amen, Brother, No, I live. 1074 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 11: In New Hampshire, you know so, I really hope so. 1075 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: All right, New Hampshire, Gary, I share your thoughts. When 1076 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: we lived in Chicago, I still felt city of Cincinnati 1077 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,320 Speaker 1: near and dear to my heart, not as much as 1078 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 1: I felt after we move back, though. It's a real 1079 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 1: eye opening experience. Folks, live someplace else and then reflect 1080 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 1: back in your life in the city, or just move 1081 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 1: back and experience the eye opening awesomeness that living in 1082 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,479 Speaker 1: this part of the country is compared to a place 1083 00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 1: like Chicago. I'm not speaking to New Hampshire, Garrey.

Remember we 1095 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 1: had the weaponization of the Department of Justice, Eric Holder, 1096 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 1: going all the way back to Eric Holder and the 1097 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Obama administration, going after conservative organizations, going after businesses, lawful 1098 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: businesses licensed to do business in the United States of 1099 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 1: America being deprived of bank accounts because of pressure placed 1100 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,880 Speaker 1: on banks by the Department of Justice. We had the 1101 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 1: weaponization of the FBI, and there's more coming out on 1102 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 1: that day in and day out. I see that the 1103 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee has referred as CIA director John Brennan 1104 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 1: to the Justice Department for prosecution given the shenanigans he 1105 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:53,880 Speaker 1: was involved with concerning the Steel dossier. Weaponization of the government, 1106 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 1: the CIA and other lettered organizations against Donald Trump. We've 1107 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: all kind of felt the sting the IRS weaponizing under 1108 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: lowest learner to depriving you and your conservative organization of 1109 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 1: five oh one to three c status. Well, how about FEMA, Yeah, 1110 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: FEMA's the next one. Internal probe has found FEMA officials 1111 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:16,880 Speaker 1: under Biden's administration refused to help disaster victims who supported 1112 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This according to a Department of Homeland Security 1113 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 1: announcement yesterday. DHS investigators say the politically motivated discriminations went 1114 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 1: from Hurricane Ida back in twenty twenty one all the 1115 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: way through Hurricane Milton. In twenty four. The DHS Privacy 1116 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 1: Office determined that FEMA workers, in their words, systematically bypassed 1117 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: homes that had pro Trump or Second Amendment signs. They 1118 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 1: collected political data on survivors in direct violation of the 1119 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: Privacy Act. In nineteen seventy four report describes the behavior 1120 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 1: and that reports words a troubling overreach weaponizing the federal 1121 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,320 Speaker 1: disaster relief against Americans and Crisis Christy Nom, DHS secretary, 1122 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,440 Speaker 1: the federal government was withholding aid from Americans based on 1123 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: their political beliefs. This should horrify every citizen YEP fifty 1124 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 1: Paige investigations or investigation. FEMA employees were told to avoid 1125 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: homes advertising Trump. Apparently, at least twenty floor to homes 1126 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 1: reportedly went without initial aid after Hurricane Milton. FEMA staff 1127 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: also logged information about residents' political views. DHS said that's 1128 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 1: a move that demonstrated a failure to protect data integrity 1129 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:36,640 Speaker 1: and fairness. The investigators found discrimination wasn't isolated, contrary to 1130 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 1: testimony from Biden's FEMA administrator Diane Criswell in front of 1131 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 1: Congress and interred in multiple disasters across several states. They 1132 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: say FEMA violated the Privacy Act by creating an undisclosed 1133 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:54,880 Speaker 1: database linking personal information to political beliefs. Isn't that scary? 1134 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 1: And you consider the amount of data that the federal 1135 01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 1: government has collected on us all across the board. They're 1136 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:04,680 Speaker 1: looking at our individual data, making determinations about our political affiliation, 1137 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: and then deciding they're either going to stop and offer 1138 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 1: assistance at my house flooded as it may be, or 1139 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: strictened by a hurricane, and not stop there because well, 1140 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 1: you're of the wrong political affiliation, you're not friends of 1141 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 1: the party. Sounds remarkably dystopian and sounds remarkably like other 1142 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 1: former governments like Stalin Khrushchev, Hitler. Yeah, sorry, your politics 1143 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: don't align. You are not entitled to government services, even 1144 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 1: though your taxes help pay for them. Got madam a line. Matt, 1145 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 1: you're next. You to mind holding.

I heard girls Scott Bridge and 1151 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: immediately thought of the boy Scout Bridge, Dan Beard aka 1152 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 1: Big Mack Bridge. I thought that's what he was referred to. 1153 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 1: What's at the girls Cut Bridge, Joe Strecker, Hey, dude, 1154 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 1: that's the Covington, Kentucky Bridge crosses the Licking River, also 1155 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: known as a twelve street bridge. You learn something every day, 1156 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 1: and yes, I'm more than happy to admit when well, 1157 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. So let's go to the phones and 1158 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 1: see what Matt has to say. Matt, Welcome to the show. 1159 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. 1160 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 12: Oh hi, Brian, I'm going to weigh in on this 1161 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 12: Chief Fiji situation. You know, if she hasn't been able 1162 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,440 Speaker 12: to do her job like she wanted to. Why doesn't 1163 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,480 Speaker 12: she maybe go have a private conversation with Corey Bowman 1164 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,200 Speaker 12: and they can work out an arrangement or a deal, 1165 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:40,240 Speaker 12: if you will, and then she can come out and 1166 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 12: let the voters know what mayor pure Evil has been 1167 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 12: up to, and then the voters can decide whether they 1168 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 12: want to dispatch mayor Pure Evil in the coming election. 1169 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 1: I think that maybe even a thorny issue or a 1170 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 1: sticky wicket issue. I don't know what liberty she has 1171 01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 1: to talk about her her job in consult consultation with 1172 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 1: other people, notably political candidates. I don't know if that 1173 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,920 Speaker 1: could serve. And I'm guessing here, I'm just walking through 1174 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,880 Speaker 1: potential challenges because I've heard there are some limitations on 1175 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 1: how much leeway the chief has to speak about matters, 1176 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 1: so that could be something. And you know, I just 1177 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 1: don't want her to put herself in a position where 1178 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 1: they can say, haha, see here's why we got rid 1179 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 1: of her because of well, something she did after we 1180 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 1: got rid of her. I don't know. It just looks terrible. 1181 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: The optics are awful from Arafa per of All and 1182 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: city Manager Cheryl Long, and that satisfies me sufficiently. It'll 1183 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 1: all come to a head at some point. Police Chief 1184 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: Fiji's either going to get big, big fat check from 1185 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,280 Speaker 1: the city of government, much like the former fire chief 1186 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: Michael Washington's gonna give big, big fat check. Note again, 1187 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 1: this is the second time this has happened. They got 1188 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 1: rid of Michael Washington without cause. They fired him with 1189 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 1: no reason. He went to court over it, and he 1190 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: has prevailed. He was terminated wrongfully according to court decision. 1191 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 1: Now just comes a question of damages. So we have 1192 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 1: a problem with the administration. We have a problem with 1193 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: politics regarding the fire chief and the police chief, and 1194 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 1: that's on full display. And I hope everybody's paying attention. 1195 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: And we can send Mary aftab purval and then ultimately 1196 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 1: share along along with them packing after Wednesday, the first 1197 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 1: Wednesday November or the first Tuesday November. Appreciate it, Matt, 1198 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 1: certainly do. Oh and real quick here, since our next 1199 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 1: listener lunch is the following day, I just want to 1200 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 1: remind everybody about that. So we're going to be at 1201 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: High Grain Brewery. I think it's the Brentwood location. Yeah, 1202 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 1: High Grain Brewery, Brentwood location. November fifth day, after the election. 1203 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm hoping we have something to celebrate. I really truly am. 1204 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 1: Or we'll just contemplate maybe the craziness of the City 1205 01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati voters that they continue to go down the 1206 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,920 Speaker 1: same path, you know, definition of stupidity, doing the same 1207 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 1: thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Fred, 1208 01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:04,320 Speaker 1: thanks for calling the Morning Show. Happy Wednesday to you, Fred, Fred, 1209 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 1: Fred Joe, just turn you on, So start from scratch. 1210 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I didn't hear your initial comments. 1211 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 5: Okay, you're talking about the police chief. 1212 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,200 Speaker 7: You know she gets she's not going to quick getty far. 1213 01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,880 Speaker 3: The thing is I don't think we're understanding is I 1214 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 3: think the mayor and all these crazy people they have 1215 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 3: a theory on how all this is supposed to work, 1216 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 3: and they're mad at her because she wasn't able to 1217 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 3: implement their policy correctly to get it to work, even 1218 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 3: though we know it doesn't work. Similar to the socialists 1219 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 3: who say, hey, socialism will work, it just hasn't been 1220 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:38,520 Speaker 3: tried by. 1221 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 1: Us, right, yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah, I mean certainly. 1222 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think they actually think it's 1223 01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 3: going to work. Their policy is going to work, but 1224 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 3: reality says no. 1225 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Fred. If you reflect out look over this great vast 1226 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: country of ours, and take a look at San Francisco 1227 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 1: or Portland or you know what I'm where I'm going 1228 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 1: with this San francisc I mean, it's never worked any 1229 01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 1: place it's tried. Once you stop prosecuting and and and 1230 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:12,280 Speaker 1: uh and and you know, harsh punishments on criminals, they're 1231 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,840 Speaker 1: just gonna start engaging in criminal activity. Was the dumbest 1232 01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 1: concept ever. Fred Let's decriminalized thefts of nine hundred dollars 1233 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: or less of whatever that policy was in California. Well, 1234 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,639 Speaker 1: what idiot didn't think that it was going to result 1235 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:31,920 Speaker 1: in mass theft at convenience stores and and uh and pharmaceuticals. 1236 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 1: And it's just dumb, epic, woke, stupid. They just live 1237 01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,640 Speaker 1: in their own echo chamber and they talk on a 1238 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 1: theoretical level like that, Oh, we just talk about it. 1239 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,920 Speaker 1: We imagined that it could be a new world. It's 1240 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 1: boiled down. It's like believing in communism. From each according's ability, 1241 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 1: each court. We're all going to get along, we're all 1242 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:51,840 Speaker 1: going to be part of the religion. We're all going 1243 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,679 Speaker 1: to participate to our fullest extent. No one's gonna be lazy, 1244 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,320 Speaker 1: ask Bernie Sanders how it was on his his ashram 1245 01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 1: when he lived out there. Apparently the guy didn't lift 1246 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 1: a finger to work, which is what happens when you 1247 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 1: end up living in a socialist collective like that. People 1248 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,719 Speaker 1: are really lazy, and since it's not going to benefit 1249 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,800 Speaker 1: them to bust their hump, they typically don't welcome to 1250 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 1: communism and socialism as well. A method of political leadership 1251 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,960 Speaker 1: doesn't work, and rethinking the police department doesn't work either. 1252 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,800 Speaker 1: See literally every city that's tried it, including the city 1253 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati.

Why in just a moment, up until now, 1278 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 9: the Democrats' top three issues, actually there are only three 1279 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:13,640 Speaker 9: issues have been Donald Trump is hitler, Donald Trump is 1280 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 9: on Putin's payroll, and most heinous. If you're a Hollywood celebrity, 1281 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 9: Donald Trump is fat, to which Millennia would say, no, 1282 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:27,679 Speaker 9: my husband is just pleasingly plump and he cannot work. 1283 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 9: You any day. We're beating Democrats on all those issues 1284 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 9: and a few more little things like crime, securing our borders, 1285 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 9: growing the economy, and world peace. But now Democrats may 1286 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 9: have stumbled on a winning issue, even though it's a 1287 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:53,479 Speaker 9: problem they created themselves, affordable healthcare. Demos are using healthcare 1288 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 9: as an excuse to shut down the government, and it'll 1289 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,480 Speaker 9: be a huge election issue Brian next year. So Republicans 1290 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 9: had better not let President Trump down again the way 1291 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:10,280 Speaker 9: they did in his first term. A little history, that's 1292 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 9: what we do. Once upon a time, basic health care 1293 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:18,200 Speaker 9: was affordable in the nineteen fifties when I wore a 1294 01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:23,719 Speaker 9: Davy Crockett coonskin cap. Our family doctor charged fifteen bucks 1295 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:28,880 Speaker 9: a visit, and he made house calls. Yeah, most folks 1296 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 9: did not have health insurance, but they could still pay 1297 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:37,080 Speaker 9: for all the usual kid operations. Tonsils happened, dectomy. Because 1298 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 9: Washington had not yet destroyed free market competition, the push 1299 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 9: for socialized medicine started during World War II. FDR had 1300 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 9: imposed wage and price controls, and the war created an 1301 01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 9: enormous demand for the civilian employees who were still around 1302 01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:01,439 Speaker 9: to get around paying them higher wages. Washington companies take 1303 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,880 Speaker 9: tax deductions for employee health insurance. That's why most people 1304 01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,560 Speaker 9: still get health coverage at work. But because employees no 1305 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 9: longer had to pay their own doctor's bills, they stopped 1306 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,760 Speaker 9: noticing what healthcare actually costs. The federal tax code was 1307 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 9: an effect subsidizing health care costs for businesses and their employees, 1308 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 9: though not for self employed people like my parents. Even worse, 1309 01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:32,160 Speaker 9: the increased demand for subsidized healthcare sent costs rising at 1310 01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 9: a fever pitch. So to fix that crisis, which Washington 1311 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 9: itself had created, the government as usual made things worse. 1312 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 9: Congress next offered Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for 1313 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 9: the poor and infirm. Those programs have helped countless Americans. 1314 01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 9: Amesley and I are on Medicare. You will be soon too, 1315 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,800 Speaker 9: thanks j scries. Well, it's true. 1316 01:13:58,840 --> 01:13:59,479 Speaker 1: You don't look at it. 1317 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 9: It's true. But to the surprise of no one, unless 1318 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 9: your healthcare included a lobotomy, budgets were both Medicare and 1319 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,920 Speaker 9: Medicaid soon rocketed beyond the estimates used to sell them 1320 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 9: to taxpayers. As always, since it didn't have to compete 1321 01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:19,799 Speaker 9: in a free marketplace, government had little incentive to control costs, 1322 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:25,559 Speaker 9: or even outright corruption. Instead, bureaucracies felt and they fed 1323 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:31,160 Speaker 9: on built in budget increases every year that outstripped inflation. 1324 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,919 Speaker 9: Rush Limba used to love talking about this baseline budgeting. 1325 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:40,799 Speaker 9: So did health providers, including physicians, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. 1326 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 9: But wait, it gets even worse than that. To make 1327 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:51,480 Speaker 9: health care affordable for everyone, the Affordable Care Act Obamacare 1328 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:56,720 Speaker 9: included a mandate requiring everyone to buy a policy that 1329 01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 9: qualified under the new law. Barack Obama had repeatedly promised 1330 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,320 Speaker 9: that if you liked your current health insurance, if you 1331 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 9: liked your doctor, you could keep them. 1332 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:08,559 Speaker 1: But that was a lie. 1333 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 9: As the architect of Obamacare, MIT economist Jonathan Krueber admitted, 1334 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,400 Speaker 9: the only insurance policies the government allowed under Obamacare had 1335 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:24,759 Speaker 9: to include a laundry list of liberal coverage, including abortion treatment, 1336 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:30,960 Speaker 9: and those requirements more than doubled Obamacare premiums. Barack Obama 1337 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 9: didn't care, because even before he became president, Senator Obama 1338 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:40,479 Speaker 9: had said what he ultimately wanted, with single payers, socialized healthcare, 1339 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:44,839 Speaker 9: like the national healthcare they have in Britain and Canada. 1340 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 9: The trouble is in not so great Britain, the rich 1341 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 9: have their own healthcare system, and Canadians, as I saw 1342 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,800 Speaker 9: for five years working in Miami, they flocked to the 1343 01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 9: US to get quality care they cannot get back. Republicans 1344 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 9: campaigned against this unaffordable Obamacare. In twenty sixteen. When they won, 1345 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 9: Donald Trump told Congress to repeal and replace it with 1346 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:16,480 Speaker 9: a system that would bring down costs through free market competition. 1347 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 9: But believe it or not, that didn't happen. The late 1348 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 9: senator Republican Senator John McCain, who hated Trump, literally gave 1349 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:31,000 Speaker 9: a thumbs down on the Senate floor. The best Republicans 1350 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,679 Speaker 9: could do was to do away with the individual mandate, 1351 01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 9: and that was something. It meant you no longer had 1352 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 9: to buy Obamacare, but that made the policies even more expensive, 1353 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 9: and not just for low income people. 1354 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:44,960 Speaker 1: Brian. 1355 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:53,000 Speaker 9: Under Obama, Democrats had also expanded eligibility for Medicaid. What 1356 01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 9: had been a safety net for the poor became a 1357 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 9: middle class entitlement. And you know who was one of 1358 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:04,719 Speaker 9: the first governor to support that, Ohio's own Republican, John Kasik, 1359 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,959 Speaker 9: who was no more conservative than most of the Rhinos 1360 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:13,559 Speaker 9: now running Columbus. The final straw came during COVID, when 1361 01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 9: Joe Biden's puppet masters pushed staggering health insurance subsidies. That's 1362 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 9: what Democrats now want to extend. That's why they're shutting 1363 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,920 Speaker 9: down the government to this day, two years after even 1364 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:32,960 Speaker 9: Biden admitted the COVID emergency ended. And yes, Democrats also 1365 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 9: want to keep covering illegals by reimbursing hospitals and state 1366 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:43,599 Speaker 9: Medicaid systems. Democrats insist that's not true. Once again, they're line. 1367 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,719 Speaker 9: Both Democrats and Rhino Republicans are under pressure to continue 1368 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 9: subsidizing government health insurance. That pressure comes from their voters, 1369 01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,720 Speaker 9: but also from Big Pharma and other medical providers. They 1370 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:03,920 Speaker 9: are among the politician's biggest owners. So here's the challenge, now, friends, 1371 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 9: We've done a way with free market healthcare in order 1372 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:12,160 Speaker 9: to provide subsidies, but how far should this go. If 1373 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:17,320 Speaker 9: governments subsidized clothing, jeans and a T shirt would cost 1374 01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,799 Speaker 9: so much you'd need a subsidy to avoid wearing thig leaves. 1375 01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,920 Speaker 9: Yet for most everyone in America, food and clothing are 1376 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:30,080 Speaker 9: affordable thanks to free market competition. Instead of socializing our 1377 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,559 Speaker 9: whole healthcare system in order to help the truly needy. 1378 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:38,560 Speaker 9: We should subsidize the truly needy and transition back to 1379 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 9: the free market for everyone else. How I'm no expert, 1380 01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 9: but the Federalists Society, for one, wants workers rather than 1381 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:52,880 Speaker 9: their employers, to own their health policies, insurance policies that 1382 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 9: would be portable across state lines, so they could follow 1383 01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,920 Speaker 9: you if you move. Portability keeps insurance company from claiming 1384 01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 9: you have a pre existing condition and denying you coverage, 1385 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 9: and it increases competition. The Federalist also wants to expand 1386 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:15,680 Speaker 9: health savings accounts HSA's. They allow tax free contributions and 1387 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,560 Speaker 9: withdrawals over the course of a lifetime. I also like 1388 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:24,200 Speaker 9: letting young healthy people by stripped down policies the kinyanity 1389 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:29,920 Speaker 9: of car perhaps to cover major expenses, including surgery. The 1390 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:35,240 Speaker 9: bottom line, America, I believe, should remain committed to providing 1391 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:40,559 Speaker 9: a safety net for citizens who cannot help themselves, the poor, 1392 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,720 Speaker 9: that disabled, and the elderly. Indeed, we'll also treat people 1393 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 9: in hospital emergency rooms, but those emergency rooms cannot be 1394 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:54,640 Speaker 9: free health clinics for illegals. Full blown socialized medicine is 1395 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 9: not the answer. As you mentioned, just a few minutes ago. 1396 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 9: As we mentioned constantly, some socialism is never the answer. 1397 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,320 Speaker 9: It just leads to corruption and power grabs. So, in 1398 01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:11,280 Speaker 9: response to the Zoran Mamdanis, the AOC's Chucky Schumer's the 1399 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 9: Obama's Republicans better come up with a plan right now 1400 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:19,240 Speaker 9: while they're doing not much else for truly affordable healthcare, 1401 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:24,679 Speaker 9: or Democrats socialists may regain Congress in twenty twenty six 1402 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 9: and our country will once again be flat on its back. Now, 1403 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,600 Speaker 9: you're a jurist, doctor, a doctor of law. What do 1404 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:34,759 Speaker 9: you say, doctor Thomas? 1405 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,320 Speaker 1: You know he didn't call looking for an argument. Jack. 1406 01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: It's an unbelievably complicated situation. And I, of course I 1407 01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,559 Speaker 1: remember when doctor Cassini, Gus Cassini the rest his soul 1408 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,040 Speaker 1: was my doctor, family's doctor, as friend of the family, 1409 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,720 Speaker 1: come over to the house. I remember getting my injections 1410 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,800 Speaker 1: in the living room of my house, Remember hiding under 1411 01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: the furniture, and I don't remember. You know, it was 1412 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:59,599 Speaker 1: just such a different world. I mean, I don't understand 1413 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 1: it still under the furniture. Yeah, I just don't understand 1414 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,800 Speaker 1: how it got so complicated. I mean, some people point 1415 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,880 Speaker 1: to this idea that you know, providing tax incentives for 1416 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,960 Speaker 1: businesses to provide their employees with medical insurance took us 1417 01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,600 Speaker 1: down this path. Of course, medical insurance companies have to 1418 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,920 Speaker 1: do actuarial analyses, they have to pay claims. It used 1419 01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 1: to be pre existing condition. If you had a pre 1420 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,840 Speaker 1: existing condition, you weren't covered. It's like you can't get 1421 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: fire insurance if your house is already on fire. It 1422 01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:29,880 Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. The idea of having to be 1423 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 1: stuck with these massive medical bills was an incentive to 1424 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:36,160 Speaker 1: take on what used to be not too onerous burden 1425 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,760 Speaker 1: to get some form of medical coverage, like that catastrophic 1426 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 1: policy we're talking about for young people. We used to 1427 01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,640 Speaker 1: sell those all the taminos with an sol anthem BCBS. 1428 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,519 Speaker 1: And you know it wasn't very expensive, easily affordable monthly payment. 1429 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,960 Speaker 1: You're in a very low risk category as a young person. 1430 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Why would you want anything more than something that's going 1431 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 1: to cover a massive hospital bill in the event you 1432 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,599 Speaker 1: got it into a serious accident or problem. Fine, we've 1433 01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,800 Speaker 1: taken out flexibility and we've issued mandates and edicts. I mean, 1434 01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 1: Obamacare is filled with a bunch I mean a giant 1435 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: policy that some like, for example, young person again, is 1436 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 1: going to get all kinds of you know, coverage he 1437 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,240 Speaker 1: has to pay for that he's never going to use. 1438 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 1: Does a twenty two year old young man need a 1439 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 1: pregnancy insurance? No, of course not. But it's in there 1440 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 1: at which causes the price of the policy to go up, 1441 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:30,600 Speaker 1: you know it, Jack, I don't know. Something suggests to me, 1442 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,400 Speaker 1: and here's a draconian concept. If you're left to your 1443 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,479 Speaker 1: own devices, would you take better care of yourself if 1444 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,599 Speaker 1: you knew that you were responsible for your future? If 1445 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 1: you were interested in longevity? For example, some people pursue 1446 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,519 Speaker 1: a healthy life, but if you knew you were going 1447 01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 1: to be responsible for your medical bills, might you have 1448 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:52,800 Speaker 1: a sort of a greater interest in your diet, exercise, 1449 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I think I would. 1450 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 1: Is the idea that insurance is going to cover everything, 1451 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,439 Speaker 1: so screw it, there's a pill for everything, So I'm 1452 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,160 Speaker 1: not going to take care of myself. That's the kind 1453 01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:06,000 Speaker 1: of world we live in. So I don't know something. 1454 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 1: It seems to me like a disaster is going to 1455 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 1: have to befall the health insurance concept. Generally, we're gonna 1456 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 1: have to start like phoenix rising from the ashes. Jack 1457 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:14,920 Speaker 1: at this point, I. 1458 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 9: Wish we could hand the microphone to Bobby Kennedy's junior. 1459 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,320 Speaker 9: A little nutting sometimes, but a great man. And yes, 1460 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 9: we would have to take better care of ourselves. As 1461 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 9: for pre existing conditions, we have to, I think, do 1462 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 9: something for children who are born with birth defects. And 1463 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,639 Speaker 9: if you do allow portability, we won't have to worry 1464 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 9: about having to be turned down if you get a 1465 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:38,519 Speaker 9: new job much less. 1466 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,560 Speaker 1: Well, if you're already insured, you were guaranteed issue and 1467 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 1: moving forward and they couldn't deny you because you were 1468 01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:47,720 Speaker 1: already covered when this disease state pops up. We can 1469 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,200 Speaker 1: manage that. And if you're born with a preexist or 1470 01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 1: you're born with a condition, you're entering into the world 1471 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 1: with it. It's not like you duped an insurance company 1472 01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,719 Speaker 1: and hid that condition from them and then obtained insurance 1473 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:01,160 Speaker 1: to get coverage. Completely different scenario. It should be able 1474 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,080 Speaker 1: to get insurance, yeah you have. How does an actuary 1475 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 1: properly account for what claims exposure is going to be? 1476 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,719 Speaker 1: If you can walk in with a stage four cancer 1477 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,519 Speaker 1: diagnosis and then get insured for that and have all 1478 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:20,120 Speaker 1: the medical insurance covered for cancer diagnosis. You can't actually 1479 01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:20,720 Speaker 1: account for that. 1480 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 9: Well, let's move to to something that's good news that's 1481 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,960 Speaker 9: happening right now. There is so much that's happening now. 1482 01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,960 Speaker 9: But on the health front, Trump, as we've heard, is 1483 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:36,600 Speaker 9: also lowering healthcare costs by pressuring big farmer companies and 1484 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 9: smaller ones like Merk and Eli Lelly to build new 1485 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:44,400 Speaker 9: manufacturing plants here in America. That's good for national security, 1486 01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:47,880 Speaker 9: it's good competition, it's good for employees. And he's also 1487 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 9: threatening tariffs. They're controversial, but he is and he's getting 1488 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 9: some results. Trump has gotten the British company, for example, 1489 01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:59,879 Speaker 9: Astroxenica and others to charge Americans the same lower prices 1490 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:03,160 Speaker 9: that are paid by customers in other countries, the same 1491 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:03,960 Speaker 9: favored nation. 1492 01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, crisis. 1493 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 9: I think he started talking about this in March, and 1494 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,160 Speaker 9: we're starting to see the fruits of that. So there's 1495 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,960 Speaker 9: movement on all fronts. But we've got to go ahead 1496 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,760 Speaker 9: and get some kind of a replacement. Got yeah for 1497 01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:21,600 Speaker 9: the repealed mandate, at least of Obamacare. 1498 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: Jack, love your conversations, love your analysis.

Always good to having you on the show. 1513 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,679 Speaker 1: My friend got a little to updates on our property 1514 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,680 Speaker 1: tax situation here in the state of Ohio. What a 1515 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:09,599 Speaker 1: of my favorite topics. 1516 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got some good news. Legislation is moving and 1517 01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 4: it's not bad bills, Brian, We're not we're not growing government. 1518 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 4: We might be shrinking it here. 1519 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 7: So this is good. 1520 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:24,200 Speaker 4: It's good. Well, well, yesterday in the House Ways and 1521 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,280 Speaker 4: Means Committee, Well, wind this back a little bit. We 1522 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:31,600 Speaker 4: identified some priority legislation around property tax reform beginning of 1523 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 4: this fall session two bills, House Bill one to eighty 1524 01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 4: six and House Bill three thirty five. Both of those 1525 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,599 Speaker 4: bills were voted out of the House Ways and Means 1526 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 4: Committee in Columbus to yesterday with a bipartisan eleven to 1527 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:45,519 Speaker 4: one vote. 1528 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:46,720 Speaker 1: Wow accounts. 1529 01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:51,280 Speaker 4: What these do is these, in short, tackle and address 1530 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 4: the spikes in increases we've all seen, making some changes 1531 01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 4: in a couple of different ways, but address, at the 1532 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,479 Speaker 4: end of the day, Brian, the spikes that so many 1533 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 4: people have seen that I think really have put us 1534 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,320 Speaker 4: in this property tax crisis. We're all trying to figure 1535 01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:06,840 Speaker 4: our way. 1536 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 1: Out of all right, let's break them down. What does 1537 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 1: House Bill one eighty six do specifically that we are 1538 01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 1: now happy about it? 1539 01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, So what one eighty six does is it caps 1540 01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,679 Speaker 4: spikes in school property tax to inflation while also giving 1541 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 4: a retroactive credit. So we're going to wind the clock 1542 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 4: back just a little bit here and say, hey, you know, 1543 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 4: back I believe it is in twenty twenty three, back 1544 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 4: a couple of years instead of allowing these increases to 1545 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 4: occur where you had the double whammy of inflation and 1546 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 4: massive property tax increases or property valuation increases resulting in 1547 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:46,559 Speaker 4: thirty forty fifty percent valuation going up right and seeing 1548 01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,240 Speaker 4: your preases go up in an equivalent manner, we're going 1549 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,519 Speaker 4: to cap it to inflation so they don't get more 1550 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,519 Speaker 4: than what inflation would be. That provides that means we're 1551 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 4: only seeing potentially if we go back to Bidenomics, Lord knows, 1552 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,040 Speaker 4: we don't need to go back there. But in that 1553 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 4: same timeframe, instead of forty percent, we would have only 1554 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 4: seen an eight or nine percent increase in taxes. Still 1555 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 4: a lot Brian, but much much different in helping to 1556 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:15,280 Speaker 4: smooth out these christs. This this sort of effect we've 1557 01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 4: seen in the last couple of years. 1558 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: So this prevention of sudden spikes to the rate of inflation, 1559 01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess my bubble has been burst because 1560 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,400 Speaker 1: I was hoping that that would limit levees to the 1561 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 1: rate of inflation. But that doesn't apply to a separate levee, 1562 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:29,840 Speaker 1: does it. 1563 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,800 Speaker 4: I believe it's I mean, it's property tax levees, so 1564 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 4: you know. 1565 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 1: If you got but that's not a valuations. That's not 1566 01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,920 Speaker 1: a valuation generated spike. That's because voters say, Okay, I'll 1567 01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,680 Speaker 1: go ahead and have my taxes increase and give the 1568 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:47,599 Speaker 1: schools more money. I'm kind of being cheeky here, man, 1569 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,960 Speaker 1: I just but at least one eight six gets us 1570 01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:53,720 Speaker 1: out of the hell hole that will was created in 1571 01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: the aftermath of COVID when the valuations of homes went 1572 01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:59,560 Speaker 1: through the roof and then we had the triannual evaluation. 1573 01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:01,839 Speaker 1: That's we got our thirty percent plus increase. 1574 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,519 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and I think some of the things that 1575 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 4: we want to see happen to address what you're talking 1576 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 4: about there right, the levees going up, we did not 1577 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 4: being addressed here, but we would say, hey, you should 1578 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 4: actually have to have a larger amount of the vote 1579 01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:17,240 Speaker 4: to get that done. 1580 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:17,400 Speaker 8: Right. 1581 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,719 Speaker 4: You can't get that done off of a fifty plus 1582 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,559 Speaker 4: one majority. If you're going to increase everyone in your 1583 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:25,559 Speaker 4: community's taxes, you probably need to be more two thirds right, 1584 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:29,400 Speaker 4: three fifths majority. It needs to be a clear demand 1585 01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:31,639 Speaker 4: signal from the voters that yes, we want to give 1586 01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:33,879 Speaker 4: more of our money to the to the local political 1587 01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,080 Speaker 4: subdivision asking for it. We're continue to work on that. 1588 01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 1: Oh, that is something that's being discussed. 1589 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 4: Then yeah, it's one of the an element of the 1590 01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 4: Truth and Taxation package of reform that would help empower 1591 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,600 Speaker 4: you know, put the put the power back of the 1592 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 4: hands of the taxpayer rather than the political subdivisions where 1593 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 4: so much of that power exists today. 1594 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,280 Speaker 1: All right, as in minitial responses, that sounds like a 1595 01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:02,240 Speaker 1: pretty solid idea going forward. People are responsible for their 1596 01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 1: own destiny. If they want to increase their own taxes, 1597 01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 1: that's fine, but you know your neighbor may not be 1598 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 1: in a position to cover that. And so the idea 1599 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:12,400 Speaker 1: of having a stronger number of people required to approve 1600 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:15,080 Speaker 1: a tax levy, I think that is a sound concept. 1601 01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,759 Speaker 1: So fingers crossed it that one kind of moves forward. 1602 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,479 Speaker 1: House Bill three thirty five. This one also moved out 1603 01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:26,400 Speaker 1: of committee. Was it a comparable eleven to one bipartisan vote? Surprisingly, 1604 01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:29,200 Speaker 1: so it was holy who, I know. 1605 01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,479 Speaker 4: Well, what this does is this tackles the inside millage, 1606 01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,479 Speaker 4: and so I don't have to get two wonky on 1607 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 4: a Wednesday morning, but every political there's ten mills of 1608 01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:43,639 Speaker 4: property tax levied in every county, and that inside millage. 1609 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,160 Speaker 4: What this does is it ties that growth as well 1610 01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:50,640 Speaker 4: to inflation, while also giving the ability like this for 1611 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:54,599 Speaker 4: voluntary reductions, and so the local governments can look around 1612 01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,360 Speaker 4: and say, hey, actually we want to lower the amount 1613 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:01,200 Speaker 4: of money we're collecting off of inside millage to provide 1614 01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 4: relief to our taxpayers. And so most importantly though, it's 1615 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,320 Speaker 4: that inflationary right, tying things to inflation, rather than you know, 1616 01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,479 Speaker 4: you didn't at a garage, You didn't you know, make 1617 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:15,880 Speaker 4: any major modifications to your house. You didn't go out 1618 01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:18,880 Speaker 4: and like tap into that unrealized those unrealized gains that 1619 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 4: your house's value has gone up. You're being taxed on it, right, 1620 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,599 Speaker 4: that's wrong, and we're gonna they're fixing that with House 1621 01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 4: Bill three thirty five. 1622 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 1: All right, well, sounds like progress in the right direction. 1623 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 1: When is it going to come up for a full vote? 1624 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:34,839 Speaker 1: And does it have the support of Governor Mike Dwine 1625 01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,639 Speaker 1: who vetoed it vetoed some provisions in the budget which 1626 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,599 Speaker 1: would have addressed some of these property tax issues. 1627 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,439 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I think these sorts of ideas were included 1628 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:46,360 Speaker 4: in the Governor's Overall Study Committee. Right, everybody is sort 1629 01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:48,720 Speaker 4: of a breed around these ideas, So I think this 1630 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:51,879 Speaker 4: is universally accepted. It should get a vote this afternoon. 1631 01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:53,960 Speaker 4: Both of these should get votes this afternoon during the 1632 01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:55,559 Speaker 4: House session. Now it has to go to the Senate 1633 01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:59,760 Speaker 4: receive a number of hearings, but all indications are that 1634 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,719 Speaker 4: this is especially with the bipartisan support. These are ideas 1635 01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:04,720 Speaker 4: that are going to move fairly quickly and get to 1636 01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,559 Speaker 4: the governor's desk. Eighty six is key because that will 1637 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 4: provide a relief for folks on their second half year 1638 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:14,120 Speaker 4: tax bills. Oh oh, five hundred million dollars across the state. 1639 01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:16,400 Speaker 1: Oh so some immediate relief. 1640 01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:16,479 Speaker 4: That. 1641 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:17,200 Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. 1642 01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:17,960 Speaker 4: I like that. 1643 01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:23,360 Speaker 1: All right, Well there's what you look I mean. I 1644 01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:26,400 Speaker 1: guess you're not suggesting that this is in jeopardy, that 1645 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:28,880 Speaker 1: this isn't going to be a squeak or considering eleven 1646 01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:30,920 Speaker 1: to one out of the committee. We don't need to 1647 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 1: call to action, to call up our elected officials and 1648 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 1: columbus and demand that they vote in favor of this. 1649 01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:37,400 Speaker 1: It looks like a foregun conclusion. If you had to 1650 01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:41,320 Speaker 1: read some tea leaves there. Donovan Brian was always about. 1651 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:46,760 Speaker 4: Foot on the peddle here. We don't give up, just 1652 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:48,840 Speaker 4: you don't slow down just because things are head. 1653 01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:52,040 Speaker 1: In the director all right, email phone calls, some kind 1654 01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:56,840 Speaker 1: of outreach. Is it can't hurt, don Nell doesn't hurt? 1655 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,519 Speaker 1: What what else are what what's the next step in 1656 01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,920 Speaker 1: property actual relief the AFP's looking for. Is it what 1657 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 1: we just talked about or is there something else that 1658 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,160 Speaker 1: looks like it could be ready to be teed up 1659 01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 1: to give us even further relief. Because I know there 1660 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:12,040 Speaker 1: was like twenty or twenty five different action plan items 1661 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,080 Speaker 1: that had been established ahead of the budget vote, but 1662 01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:19,800 Speaker 1: also in this sort of post veto budget group that 1663 01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 1: the DWINE put together, well I hear. 1664 01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:26,640 Speaker 4: I think there's like forty some plus different bills that 1665 01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,320 Speaker 4: are out there that that, you know, do some type 1666 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,640 Speaker 4: of some type of reform. I think what we what 1667 01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 4: we want to continue to see is some of that 1668 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:38,519 Speaker 4: truth and taxation stuff that I was talking about. Right, 1669 01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 4: Let's make sure that the taxpayers are empowered with the 1670 01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 4: authority to you know, you got to get a you 1671 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,519 Speaker 4: got to convince a large number of your tax base 1672 01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,000 Speaker 4: to support an increase. The other piece I think that 1673 01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 4: continues to be talked about is surrounding county budget commissions 1674 01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 4: and so this could provide a really important stopgap measure, 1675 01:33:57,200 --> 01:34:02,080 Speaker 4: local accountability measure comprised of your auditor, treasurer, another prosecutor, 1676 01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:06,800 Speaker 4: depending on how it's set up to be that voice 1677 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,599 Speaker 4: of the taxpayer. Those folks have Brian, a county wide 1678 01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,680 Speaker 4: view of what's going on, right, rather than just being 1679 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,080 Speaker 4: focused on a little village or a specific school district, 1680 01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,560 Speaker 4: they're looking at the county at hole. And what I 1681 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,559 Speaker 4: think that what we think that can do is really 1682 01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 4: help provide another on the taxpayer. Say hey, you know, schools, cities, 1683 01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,600 Speaker 4: town trips, you all are collecting all this money, how 1684 01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:33,920 Speaker 4: much of it do you actually need and what can 1685 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:36,960 Speaker 4: you do to maybe adjust or not grow as much? 1686 01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 4: Because it actually has an impact, right, Brian, High taxes 1687 01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:43,360 Speaker 4: have an impact on the economic health of a county. 1688 01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,360 Speaker 4: So this County Budget Commission that already exists, that already 1689 01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,360 Speaker 4: does a lot of that. It just needs the authority 1690 01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:52,120 Speaker 4: really to be able to be able to say, no, 1691 01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:55,160 Speaker 4: you're not gonna you know, you're sitting on one hundred 1692 01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 4: percent cash fund balance, You're flushed with cash. You just 1693 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 4: got another levee of proved you don't need more money. 1694 01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,400 Speaker 4: You don't need it. There's no real purpose, right, you're 1695 01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:08,240 Speaker 4: providing quality services that County Budget Commission. If we can 1696 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,960 Speaker 4: empower and strengthen that further, and there's some ideas kicking 1697 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,000 Speaker 4: around around that that would help address I think, more 1698 01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:17,240 Speaker 4: of those problems and keep it at a local level 1699 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,839 Speaker 4: rather than allowing the state to come in and intervene, 1700 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 4: which is what some folks want. Let's keep it local 1701 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 4: and that's what we can. 1702 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:24,880 Speaker 1: Do here with this all right call to action? Where 1703 01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:26,800 Speaker 1: do you want my listeners to go for this and 1704 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,880 Speaker 1: other issues?

I mean, 1762 01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 13: I'm seventy four years old now, and I worry about 1763 01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 13: the other people, the elderly people who's income maybe even 1764 01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 13: less than ours, exactly, you know, and I worry about 1765 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:17,240 Speaker 13: them losing their condos or whatever they live in because 1766 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 13: of these taxes. 1767 01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:22,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, well one of the concepts that is floating around 1768 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,760 Speaker 1: and I kind of embrace it, although the devil maybe 1769 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:27,280 Speaker 1: in the details that I haven't thought of, but providing 1770 01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,800 Speaker 1: seniors maybe with an income cap, like if you make 1771 01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,560 Speaker 1: less than an X amount, then you're relieved of the 1772 01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:38,920 Speaker 1: property tax obligation. Is the dollars that you don't pay 1773 01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,160 Speaker 1: are placed as a lean on your property. So after 1774 01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,400 Speaker 1: you die and your assets have been liquidated, that's when 1775 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,080 Speaker 1: the property tax is discharged. You don't have to think 1776 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:48,560 Speaker 1: about it or worry about it for the balance of 1777 01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:50,560 Speaker 1: your life, and you let your estate deal with it 1778 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:54,760 Speaker 1: when you're gone. So that would provide you with relief. Now, 1779 01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:57,639 Speaker 1: it doesn't eradicate the bill, but eventually the state will 1780 01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,840 Speaker 1: get it and you'll be free of this insane burden 1781 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:01,800 Speaker 1: you're facing right now. 1782 01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:05,439 Speaker 13: I mean, it's really terrible.

The reason 1814 01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,000 Speaker 14: I'm calling is I wonder, if I'm looking at this right, 1815 01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:41,000 Speaker 14: why don't we talk more about how certain. 1816 01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:43,120 Speaker 2: Like the Muslims. 1817 01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:47,040 Speaker 14: I'm sorry if I'm saying this incorrectly, but they seem 1818 01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:48,759 Speaker 14: to be infiltrating government? 1819 01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:49,880 Speaker 6: Is that? 1820 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:50,600 Speaker 7: What is that? 1821 01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:52,080 Speaker 1: Isn't fact? 1822 01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,800 Speaker 14: What is going on in England and. 1823 01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:59,400 Speaker 1: Canada infiltrating government? I'm not quite sure where you're coming from. 1824 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:03,000 Speaker 1: We have no theocracy here in the United States of America. 1825 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 1: We have a free exercise clause in the First Amendment. 1826 01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:08,280 Speaker 1: We're allowed to exercise whatever religion we want. There is 1827 01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:12,080 Speaker 1: no religious organization, or rather, there's no state church. So 1828 01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:16,200 Speaker 1: any person who probably you know, runs a campaign and 1829 01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 1: convinces voters that they're the right choice, it shouldn't matter 1830 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,360 Speaker 1: what religion they are. They can't impose their religion on 1831 01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,400 Speaker 1: us because we have the free exercise in the United States. 1832 01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,560 Speaker 1: So I don't care what religion a person is. I 1833 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:30,040 Speaker 1: just want them to do something sane for their constituents. 1834 01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,479 Speaker 1: So what does Muslim happen. Then, yeah, there you are. 1835 01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:36,439 Speaker 1: That's it. I don't care. Well, look, we're going to 1836 01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,320 Speaker 1: have vvak Ramaswammy as the as the next governor of 1837 01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:41,560 Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. I'm thoroughly convinced of that. Not 1838 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:45,200 Speaker 1: a Christian man, but he is blank and brilliant, he's 1839 01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:49,960 Speaker 1: got great ideas, he's obviously demonstrably successful. I'll take it. 1840 01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:52,360 Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't matter with you. 1841 01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:53,439 Speaker 6: I'm with you. 1842 01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:58,360 Speaker 14: I'm not talking about the US. I'm asking about England. 1843 01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh well, there that Well, you've just entered into the 1844 01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:05,120 Speaker 1: twilight zone when you're talking about the European Union or 1845 01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:09,120 Speaker 1: the UK. They do not have a constitution. They can 1846 01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,720 Speaker 1: limit the words that come out of your mouth. They 1847 01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,880 Speaker 1: have prior restraint on speech. So give you a list 1848 01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:17,400 Speaker 1: of words you can't speak. If you speak it, they 1849 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:21,280 Speaker 1: can prosecute you. It's uh again, I'm leaning toward FCC 1850 01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:24,479 Speaker 1: non compliant language. Now, as I consider the reality of 1851 01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:27,120 Speaker 1: life in the UK, you don't want to go down 1852 01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:30,080 Speaker 1: that road. That's why we should just protect the Constitution 1853 01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:34,519 Speaker 1: with our very lives. Our founding fathers recognize that. That's 1854 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:36,960 Speaker 1: why we've got the Bill of Rights. Mary, thank you 1855 01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,040 Speaker 1: very much Mississippi. James, welcome, my friend.

And you know right now there is 1914 01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:38,599 Speaker 1: a man in my listening audience, a dear friend of mine, 1915 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:42,320 Speaker 1: a career submariner, spent his entire career in the military 1916 01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:44,800 Speaker 1: and submarines, And Mike is out there sitting on the 1917 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,640 Speaker 1: edge of a seat. You've already sold one book, I 1918 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,720 Speaker 1: assure you, Tom, And he knew about this boat. He 1919 01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,519 Speaker 1: knew about the Captain Richard Okaine, which is featured in 1920 01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:56,240 Speaker 1: the book. So let's dive on into it. You described 1921 01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:59,840 Speaker 1: this is the deadliest submarine in World War Two, so 1922 01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 1: like like pilots get kills, and they can become you know, 1923 01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:10,360 Speaker 1: certain levels of pilots an ace. For example, this sub 1924 01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:12,720 Speaker 1: sunk more vessels than any of the other in the 1925 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:13,920 Speaker 1: in the entire World War two. 1926 01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:17,680 Speaker 7: It did it did. It is the USS Tang, and 1927 01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:20,680 Speaker 7: it was the best attack submarine in the US had 1928 01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,759 Speaker 7: in the Pacific theater, and it sank thirty three Japanese 1929 01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 7: ships and would have sunk more except it ran into it, 1930 01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:28,479 Speaker 7: you know, ran into an entire convoy that was trying 1931 01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,599 Speaker 7: to take out. It proved to be a little too much, 1932 01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:35,360 Speaker 7: but the Tang was was the most recognized. And I'm 1933 01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:37,679 Speaker 7: glad you mentioned about your friend who knew knows about 1934 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:41,920 Speaker 7: Richard o'caine, because amongst some mariners there seems to be 1935 01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:45,160 Speaker 7: a recognition of Ocaine, and he's like the Navy equivalent 1936 01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:48,080 Speaker 7: of Audie Murphy. Yes, but to the general public, they don't. 1937 01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:49,640 Speaker 7: They've never heard of the guy, which is which is 1938 01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:52,120 Speaker 7: a shame because he was great guite, the heroic character 1939 01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:52,760 Speaker 7: in World War Two. 1940 01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:54,360 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I wait to you here. We'll get a 1941 01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:58,040 Speaker 1: brief little sliver of the excitement that these men uh 1942 01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:00,840 Speaker 1: were involved with on the submarine. But Mike wanted you 1943 01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:02,519 Speaker 1: and meet to know my listening audience is going to 1944 01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:05,280 Speaker 1: pass along. There was a street named after the tang 1945 01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:10,160 Speaker 1: in Groton, Connecticut at the submarine base, and the CEO there, 1946 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:14,560 Speaker 1: Richard Dick o'caine is also apparently they have a officers 1947 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:18,599 Speaker 1: quarters named after him on the sub base, so everyone 1948 01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 1: in the Navy knows who this guy is. Let's talk 1949 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,360 Speaker 1: about some of the action they First off, what was 1950 01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:26,360 Speaker 1: life like in a World War two submarine. I can't 1951 01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:27,320 Speaker 1: imagine it was fun. 1952 01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,919 Speaker 7: No, it wasn't. And in fact, you can only volunteer 1953 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,400 Speaker 7: for submarine duty, you cannot be assigned to it because 1954 01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 7: it was It was not only very cramped and very 1955 01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:44,040 Speaker 7: tight quarters. You're claustrophobic, you were sunk, you can say, 1956 01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:47,200 Speaker 7: but it was dangerous. It was you know, the mortality 1957 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:49,760 Speaker 7: rate for a submarine sailor was six times that of 1958 01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:54,840 Speaker 7: a surface ship sailor, so that we lost fifty two 1959 01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,240 Speaker 7: boats was sunk during World War two, and so there 1960 01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:01,080 Speaker 7: was a lot of a lot of the navy guys, 1961 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,519 Speaker 7: they say nothing to do with submarines, but they turned 1962 01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,680 Speaker 7: out to be especially effective. And the tang was head 1963 01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:09,439 Speaker 7: and shoulders above the other submarines and being able to 1964 01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,759 Speaker 7: hunt down and sink Japanese shipping. 1965 01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:15,760 Speaker 1: Well, you're right about psychological profile to serve on a submarine, 1966 01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:18,600 Speaker 1: I personally would not pass that test. The idea of 1967 01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:22,679 Speaker 1: it's less about claustrophobia, Tom, but the idea of depth 1968 01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:25,160 Speaker 1: charges exploding around you in any moment in time, you 1969 01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,160 Speaker 1: might implode and sink to the bottom of the sea, 1970 01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:28,639 Speaker 1: which we're going to talk about here in a minute. 1971 01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:30,679 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1972 01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:34,400 Speaker 7: They you could be bonds, you'd be sailing on the 1973 01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:36,360 Speaker 7: surface and a plane spots you. It could bother you. 1974 01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,200 Speaker 7: You can be under water and a depth charges like 1975 01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:40,960 Speaker 7: you said, could come and get you. There could be 1976 01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,000 Speaker 7: a malfunction. And the thing is when a submarine is 1977 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:47,760 Speaker 7: in danger of sinking and it goes under the water, 1978 01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:49,120 Speaker 7: there's no way to go. I mean, one of the 1979 01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 7: things about if you want to destroyer or a battleship 1980 01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:53,400 Speaker 7: or an aircraft carrier and it's damaged, you have the 1981 01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:55,519 Speaker 7: option of getting into a lifeboat or if you need 1982 01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:58,479 Speaker 7: to jump overboard and hold on to something. In a submarine, 1983 01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:01,360 Speaker 7: there's no jumping overboard, there's no there's no way out. 1984 01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:03,800 Speaker 7: So that's another reason why it was especially risky and 1985 01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:07,040 Speaker 7: tension film way of serving the Navy. 1986 01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,519 Speaker 1: Well, you go into great detail about this and then 1987 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,200 Speaker 1: let's fast forward and obviously I don't want a huge 1988 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:17,920 Speaker 1: reveal on this, but it's so exciting conceptually that this 1989 01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,439 Speaker 1: is the this is the book selling moment right here 1990 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:22,960 Speaker 1: at this moment in time, Tom claven. Let's fast forward 1991 01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:27,360 Speaker 1: to October twenty fourth, nineteen forty four, yes. 1992 01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:29,920 Speaker 7: Eighty one years ago, this Friday, and the Tang is 1993 01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:33,280 Speaker 7: in the Foremosa Strait, which is off the coast of China, 1994 01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:38,360 Speaker 7: and it encounters an entire Japanese convoy. Now, some submarines 1995 01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:41,679 Speaker 7: were operated and packs one one submarine, but the tank 1996 01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:43,920 Speaker 7: was always a kind of a lone wolf. It was 1997 01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 7: by itself. I saw this convoy, it couldn't let it 1998 01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:49,120 Speaker 7: pass pass through. So an attack that took out an 1999 01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,679 Speaker 7: entire convoy. It was actually destroying it. When it fired 2000 01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:55,400 Speaker 7: its last torpedo, which boomerang came back and struck the Tang. 2001 01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,640 Speaker 7: It sank to ared it game the rest of the 2002 01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:00,280 Speaker 7: bottom a hundred and eighty feet. The captain, some of 2003 01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:04,439 Speaker 7: the crew members managed to survive. It's a really exciting 2004 01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:05,840 Speaker 7: sequence out of the boat. 2005 01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,360 Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of process here. They were sunk 2006 01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:10,439 Speaker 1: by their own torpedo. I didn't even know that was 2007 01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,400 Speaker 1: a concept, Tom. I guess we're happy we have more 2008 01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:15,479 Speaker 1: modern technology that can't happen anymore. 2009 01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,800 Speaker 7: Well. One of the reveals I think of and running 2010 01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:21,840 Speaker 7: deep is how inadequate a lot of our torpedoes were. 2011 01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:23,599 Speaker 7: I mean, when you watch a movie about World War 2012 01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,639 Speaker 7: two and somebody fires a torpedo, it always hits the target, 2013 01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:29,599 Speaker 7: but a lot of times too often, and World War 2014 01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:33,000 Speaker 7: to the reality was that that torpedoes would explode too early, 2015 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:36,200 Speaker 7: they would be completely duds, and they can boomerang. They 2016 01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:38,040 Speaker 7: could the gyroscope would go crazy, and they would come 2017 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,040 Speaker 7: around as in case of the tank, and strike the 2018 01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:43,000 Speaker 7: tank in the stern. It sank stern first. A lot 2019 01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:46,200 Speaker 7: of the guys and the boat were killed, but some 2020 01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:48,880 Speaker 7: managed to escape and get to the surface where you know, 2021 01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:50,559 Speaker 7: they went from the frying pan to the fire because 2022 01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,880 Speaker 7: they were rescued by Japanese sailors who weren't too happy 2023 01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:55,960 Speaker 7: about the submarine that I just destroyed a lot of 2024 01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:56,960 Speaker 7: the shipping, No, I. 2025 01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:01,240 Speaker 1: Imagine not so they sink a hundred eighty feet down. 2026 01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:05,599 Speaker 1: Eighty seven total crew men were on this submarine, which 2027 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:07,680 Speaker 1: again I'm trying to struggle with the reality of the 2028 01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:11,920 Speaker 1: living conditions in this tightest space with eighty seven but 2029 01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:16,280 Speaker 1: nine and manages to get to the surface. Can I 2030 01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:17,760 Speaker 1: just say, ask, real briefly, how in the how do 2031 01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:19,280 Speaker 1: you get from one hundred and eighty feet down in 2032 01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,040 Speaker 1: a sealed container to get to the surface. 2033 01:51:22,760 --> 01:51:24,920 Speaker 7: Well, you know, there are two or three the captain 2034 01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,120 Speaker 7: and a couple of guys were on the bridge. When 2035 01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:28,920 Speaker 7: the torpedo hits, they were thrown into the water, but 2036 01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:32,560 Speaker 7: there were six others down below that. They had this 2037 01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:35,280 Speaker 7: device called the Bobson lung which was invented right before 2038 01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:37,240 Speaker 7: the war, which you put it on and it's sort 2039 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:39,280 Speaker 7: of like it's not a scuba diving kind of thing, 2040 01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:41,960 Speaker 7: and so that's just a little inflatable thing. But the 2041 01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:44,040 Speaker 7: idea was they could give you enough oxygen to give 2042 01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:46,000 Speaker 7: you a chance to get to the surface, and so 2043 01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:47,760 Speaker 7: that's what these guys did. They put any Bobson lungs 2044 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,639 Speaker 7: they got into this escape chamber, they were push down 2045 01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,519 Speaker 7: into the water and they headed for the surface. Some 2046 01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:53,479 Speaker 7: made it, some did not. 2047 01:51:54,439 --> 01:51:56,680 Speaker 1: Now I have to ask you, are these like parachutes? 2048 01:51:56,720 --> 01:51:59,400 Speaker 1: Every of the every one of the eighty seven crewmen 2049 01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:00,599 Speaker 1: had one of the used to use. 2050 01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:03,680 Speaker 7: Well, they were on board. Let's put it that way, 2051 01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:07,160 Speaker 7: life preservers. You didn't bother even thinking about them until 2052 01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,080 Speaker 7: you absolutely absolutely needed them and hoped they would work. 2053 01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:11,519 Speaker 7: That was like one was issued to every sailor. Was 2054 01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:15,520 Speaker 7: like hopefully in the escape chamber you'd find them available. 2055 01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:17,599 Speaker 1: All right. So when they make it to the top, 2056 01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,680 Speaker 1: the remaining nine survivors and nine survivors, they were in 2057 01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:23,360 Speaker 1: fact captured by the Japanese in placed on what you 2058 01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:25,439 Speaker 1: described in the book as a torture camp. 2059 01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:30,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, torture camp because they they were considered almost like 2060 01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,800 Speaker 7: terrorists because they preyed on civilian shipping, which you know, 2061 01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:38,080 Speaker 7: like the Japanese equivalent of the Verti Marine, and so 2062 01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,160 Speaker 7: they were in the brutal conditions very similar to what 2063 01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:43,599 Speaker 7: the book Unbroken. In fact, Louis Zamparini was the hero 2064 01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,880 Speaker 7: of the book Unbroken, was one of Captain o'caine's fellow 2065 01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:50,439 Speaker 7: officers at this particular torture camp, and Okine was a 2066 01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,240 Speaker 7: particular target because once the once they found out he 2067 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:57,200 Speaker 7: was the captain of the the submarine that destroyed more shipping, 2068 01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,599 Speaker 7: more of their boats than any ships than any other submarine, 2069 01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,479 Speaker 7: they really had it out for him and he barely survived. 2070 01:53:03,479 --> 01:53:04,920 Speaker 7: But the camp we liberated. 2071 01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:09,040 Speaker 1: Oh, I bet he was a target of some serious abuse, sir, 2072 01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:12,519 Speaker 1: I truly believe. Oh yeah, well, and he did, I 2073 01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:16,439 Speaker 1: guess ultimately earn the highest award of the land, the 2074 01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:19,600 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor, as well as other decorations. Was it 2075 01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:22,280 Speaker 1: for his service obviously on the Tang but it was 2076 01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:25,800 Speaker 1: because of this particular operation where they sunk so many 2077 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,759 Speaker 1: this Japanese fleet. Is that the basis for his receiving 2078 01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:29,400 Speaker 1: the Medal of Honor. 2079 01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:33,479 Speaker 7: Well, I should point out that that Ritzie O'Kane was 2080 01:53:33,479 --> 01:53:35,960 Speaker 7: like the Audie Murphy of the US Navy. He was 2081 01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:38,560 Speaker 7: the most decorated naval officer of World War Two. So 2082 01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:41,479 Speaker 7: he had already been recognized for his service for operating 2083 01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:46,080 Speaker 7: being the captain that this terrific effective submarine. But I 2084 01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:47,479 Speaker 7: think what got in the Medal of Honor was that 2085 01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:52,120 Speaker 7: during his captivity the torture camp. He endured, and he 2086 01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:54,080 Speaker 7: got his men to endure, and he got others to endure. 2087 01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:57,680 Speaker 7: He was really an inspiration that he would basically, I 2088 01:53:57,720 --> 01:54:00,799 Speaker 7: almost call this book undefeated. Was used to be defeated 2089 01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:03,240 Speaker 7: by what the Japanese hold out to him, and I 2090 01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,920 Speaker 7: think that helped other people survive terrific conditions. So I 2091 01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:08,200 Speaker 7: think the Middle of Honor was different for his survival 2092 01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:09,160 Speaker 7: and the survival of others. 2093 01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:11,680 Speaker 1: Wow, and a great lesson to be learned for us 2094 01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:13,760 Speaker 1: who struggle with you know, a fraction of the day 2095 01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:16,520 Speaker 1: to day challenges that he struggled with. You know, inspiration 2096 01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:18,800 Speaker 1: can be derived from a man who walked out of 2097 01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:22,120 Speaker 1: a torture camp at ninety pounds after being subjected to 2098 01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:25,080 Speaker 1: that abuse. That's truly, truly something be said, Tom Clay. 2099 01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,040 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, did you have in doing 2100 01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:30,799 Speaker 1: your research for this Did you have access to diaries 2101 01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,280 Speaker 1: or personal accounts by the people who served on the 2102 01:54:33,680 --> 01:54:35,640 Speaker 1: on the submarine. Where did you come up with the 2103 01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:38,000 Speaker 1: information to understand these day to day conditions and what 2104 01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:38,600 Speaker 1: they went through? 2105 01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:44,440 Speaker 7: Well, I'm wanted to mention that because they the survivors 2106 01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:45,960 Speaker 7: of the tank got back to the United States and 2107 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,120 Speaker 7: what they recovered enough physically from their various injuries. They 2108 01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:52,840 Speaker 7: were all debriefed. And there's also all the histories at 2109 01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:57,440 Speaker 7: the World Wars Who Center Museum in New Orleans. Richard 2110 01:54:57,480 --> 01:55:00,760 Speaker 7: o'caine years later, which has been very interesting, he wrote 2111 01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:03,360 Speaker 7: a book called Clear the Bridge about his experiences as 2112 01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:06,120 Speaker 7: a Tang captain, but he only devoted two pages to 2113 01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:09,160 Speaker 7: his a year long incarceration that would torture camp like 2114 01:55:09,720 --> 01:55:11,720 Speaker 7: even years later, he couldn't he couldn't bear to write 2115 01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,680 Speaker 7: about it. There are other officers that kept diary, so yes, 2116 01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:17,839 Speaker 7: there was, thankfully lucky for me, a lot of archivo 2117 01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:18,840 Speaker 7: material to draw from. 2118 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:22,720 Speaker 1: How did I'd never heard of the Tang? Obviously didn't 2119 01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:25,080 Speaker 1: serve in the military, most notably Navy on a submarine 2120 01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:27,720 Speaker 1: like Mike did. But how did you learn personally of 2121 01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:32,720 Speaker 1: the Tang? And Richard O'Kaine to write this book? Because 2122 01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:35,680 Speaker 1: this is yet another, as far as I know, untold 2123 01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,280 Speaker 1: story coming out of World War Two. It's twenty twenty five. 2124 01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:40,640 Speaker 1: You'd think we'd have heard all of this by now, Tom. 2125 01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:43,800 Speaker 7: Exactly, how could there still be a story we don't 2126 01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:46,920 Speaker 7: know about? But again, I was researching something else and 2127 01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:50,000 Speaker 7: I stumbled upon a mention of Audio Murphy comparing him 2128 01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:53,400 Speaker 7: to Richard O'Kaine because of being the most decorated officers, 2129 01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:55,560 Speaker 7: I said, I've never heard of this guy. Most people 2130 01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:57,080 Speaker 7: have heard of Audio Murphy because he went on to 2131 01:55:57,120 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 7: become a Hollywood star and made movies right like that. 2132 01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:01,960 Speaker 7: But Richard o'caine, who the heck is that? You know? 2133 01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:04,440 Speaker 7: A guy whom bore in New Hampshire and he became 2134 01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:06,960 Speaker 7: one of the most decorator offictory of the Maybe. So 2135 01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:08,640 Speaker 7: that's how I sort of stumbled upon it. And it 2136 01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:10,240 Speaker 7: was one of those things where I just kept peeling 2137 01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:12,960 Speaker 7: back layers and finding more information, and more information found 2138 01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:15,200 Speaker 7: out about the Tang. How come nobody noticed it about 2139 01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:18,560 Speaker 7: the Tang and the most effective submarine in World War Two? 2140 01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:21,560 Speaker 7: So the more I learned, the more I realized, this 2141 01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:25,120 Speaker 7: is just an incredible story, and thankfully it's not been told, 2142 01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:27,840 Speaker 7: you know, for a mainstream audience until Running Deep. 2143 01:56:28,160 --> 01:56:30,680 Speaker 1: That's why we have you, Tom Claven doing it time 2144 01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:34,880 Speaker 1: after time after time. Twenty five non fiction books. I 2145 01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:36,640 Speaker 1: guess does this make it twenty six or is this 2146 01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:37,520 Speaker 1: number twenty five? 2147 01:56:39,160 --> 01:56:40,800 Speaker 7: You know, I'm like Jack Benny, who had never got 2148 01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 7: past age thirty nine, I had twenty five books. That's 2149 01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:47,680 Speaker 7: this my story. I'm sticking to it. 2150 01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:48,160 Speaker 10: There you go. 2151 01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,360 Speaker 1: Congratulations on the winning of the New York Times bestseller. 2152 01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:53,320 Speaker 1: Another one.

I hope you enjoyed as much 2165 01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:28,800 Speaker 1: as I do today. The column anyway, a Trumpian headache 2166 01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:32,560 Speaker 1: talking about bombing narco terrorists or at least a leeged 2167 01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:37,400 Speaker 1: narco terrorist in distant waters, because somehow they represent an 2168 01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:41,560 Speaker 1: eminent threat to our security. Here, Listen, I know the 2169 01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:44,040 Speaker 1: talking hands. I've heard people talk. I've heard elected officials 2170 01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:45,840 Speaker 1: of talk. I've heard people have different points of view. 2171 01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:48,880 Speaker 1: I just don't buy into it. I don't want drugs 2172 01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:51,960 Speaker 1: in my country. I don't want drugs in my country. 2173 01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:57,560 Speaker 1: But we live in a smaller and smaller world. Technology 2174 01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:00,440 Speaker 1: is easier and easier to obtain and deadly. Techno is 2175 01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:02,920 Speaker 1: far more easy to obtain than it ever has been. 2176 01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:06,880 Speaker 1: And we have crazy people that run the world. I'm 2177 01:58:06,920 --> 01:58:08,320 Speaker 1: just I just always think of it. There but for 2178 01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:13,000 Speaker 1: the grace of God, go I. We're the biggest, baddest 2179 01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:18,720 Speaker 1: country on the block, unmatched American military, unmatched military strength. 2180 01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:22,640 Speaker 1: We have nuclear capabilities, for God's sake, submarines, the best, 2181 01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:27,400 Speaker 1: highest quality, most efficient effective weapons on the planet. We 2182 01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:31,680 Speaker 1: don't really we aren't really concerned about Little Venezuela, you know, 2183 01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:35,920 Speaker 1: declaring war on us, and that big existential threat to 2184 01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,040 Speaker 1: some other nation might have. The size and scope of 2185 01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:41,840 Speaker 1: our military is really what prevents other leaders, if I 2186 01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:43,800 Speaker 1: can use that term loosely, from deciding, you know what, 2187 01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:46,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's a terrorist, I'm gonna start dropping bombs on him. 2188 01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:54,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a point that can't be overlooked. But 2189 01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:58,880 Speaker 1: if some other country was doing this, I wonder what 2190 01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:01,080 Speaker 1: our reaction would be as a Americans, What the hell 2191 01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:04,120 Speaker 1: is going on? Most notably a country that may that 2192 01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:09,440 Speaker 1: we don't agree with, pick China. China started launching missile 2193 01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:15,320 Speaker 1: strikes into different countries. Maybe China's upset that the fentanyl 2194 01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:18,280 Speaker 1: that they gave over to these Mexican cartels or Columbian 2195 01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:21,040 Speaker 1: cartels or Venezuelan cartels is not making it to its 2196 01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:26,760 Speaker 1: intended destination. They're attacking our shipments of goods. They're jeopardizing 2197 01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:28,760 Speaker 1: the people with whom we do business. Maybe we'll launch 2198 01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:31,120 Speaker 1: a drone strike and hit somebody. I don't know. It 2199 01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:35,600 Speaker 1: is complicated, but in the final analysis, we've got territorial waters. 2200 01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:37,000 Speaker 1: And this is what it comes down to for me. 2201 01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:39,680 Speaker 1: You know they're bad guys, Prove that they got drugs 2202 01:59:39,720 --> 01:59:41,760 Speaker 1: in the boat, Prove they're narco terrorists. Wait till they 2203 01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:44,640 Speaker 1: finally get here. And I do believe we have sufficient 2204 01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:47,960 Speaker 1: technology if we can track them off the coast of Venezuela. 2205 01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:50,560 Speaker 1: We can see the boat, We've got video of it. 2206 01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:52,440 Speaker 1: We can see the explosion blowing it up. We all 2207 01:59:52,480 --> 01:59:54,520 Speaker 1: can say we can also see that with a submarine. 2208 01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:57,960 Speaker 1: Oh they got a submarine had drugs in it, I hope. 2209 01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:00,760 Speaker 1: So anyway, well, if you can see over there, why 2210 02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:04,520 Speaker 1: not just track it. Satellite technology, drone technology, whatever we 2211 02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:08,400 Speaker 1: use to track stuff and things all over this planet. 2212 02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:11,560 Speaker 1: Follow the submarine and the minute it gets into us 2213 02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:15,520 Speaker 1: territory of water, is just just unleash hell on them 2214 02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:17,480 Speaker 1: with the coast guard. Pull them out of the water, 2215 02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:20,520 Speaker 1: arrest them, grab the drugs, put them on full display, 2216 02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,800 Speaker 1: try them, convict them and lock them up forever or whatever. 2217 02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:26,280 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the death penalty, This is 2218 02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:28,320 Speaker 1: not me advocating for it, but maybe they should just 2219 02:00:28,520 --> 02:00:32,320 Speaker 1: impose the death penalty for narco terrorists at least to 2220 02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:33,520 Speaker 1: be a law in the book and to be some 2221 02:00:33,640 --> 02:00:36,080 Speaker 1: sort of process that could prove in court that, yes, 2222 02:00:36,240 --> 02:00:41,160 Speaker 1: without any hesitation, these are bad guys, convicted beyond a 2223 02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:43,720 Speaker 1: reasonable doubt, and subject them to whatever penalty might apply 2224 02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:46,960 Speaker 1: to them. It seems to me that did an equally 2225 02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:50,200 Speaker 1: effective determent, we wouldn't have these swirling question marks floating 2226 02:00:50,240 --> 02:00:50,760 Speaker 1: around about. 2227 02:00:51,040 --> 02:00:51,280 Speaker 7: Hmm. 2228 02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Were they really narco terrorist or do we believe the 2229 02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:57,480 Speaker 1: Venezuelan government we just blew a fishing boat out of 2230 02:00:57,520 --> 02:01:01,200 Speaker 1: the water. No, I don't believe Venezuelan government, but you 2231 02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:07,040 Speaker 1: got to recognize that's certainly a possibility eight twenty five 2232 02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Ify five cares for the toxication, Judge of Poultano, I 2233 02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:12,120 Speaker 1: think on that coming up next, looking forward to that conversation, 2234 02:01:12,200 --> 02:01:14,360 Speaker 1: I who you can stick around for it fifty five 2235 02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:18,800 Speaker 1: karc when you hear them a Trumpian headache, I enjoyed. 2236 02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:20,280 Speaker 1: You know you and I are in the minority on 2237 02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,520 Speaker 1: this issue, Judge of Paul Tuanto. I think you know that, 2238 02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:22,960 Speaker 1: don't you. 2239 02:01:24,200 --> 02:01:27,240 Speaker 16: I do, And it's such a head scratcher to me. 2240 02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:31,160 Speaker 16: I even included in they're a paragraph that this has 2241 02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:33,920 Speaker 16: nothing to do with Donald Trump, has nothing to do 2242 02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:35,960 Speaker 16: with whether you like him or not. It has nothing 2243 02:01:36,000 --> 02:01:38,160 Speaker 16: to do with whether you think it's a maudible goal 2244 02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:38,720 Speaker 16: or not. 2245 02:01:39,160 --> 02:01:39,320 Speaker 7: Right. 2246 02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:45,040 Speaker 16: This has to do with the core American value, which 2247 02:01:45,120 --> 02:01:48,600 Speaker 16: is due process of law, the very reason we fought 2248 02:01:48,640 --> 02:01:51,840 Speaker 16: the American Revolution, the reason they wrote the Constitution, the 2249 02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:56,640 Speaker 16: core of the Fifth Amendment consistently interpreted for two hundred 2250 02:01:56,640 --> 02:02:02,240 Speaker 16: and fifty years to prevent what's happening right now. Even 2251 02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:07,680 Speaker 16: the Nazi saboteurs who were caught in long Island and 2252 02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:13,800 Speaker 16: Florida during World War Two. We're given a trial before execution. 2253 02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:18,200 Speaker 1: No person shall be de private of liberty or property 2254 02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:21,320 Speaker 1: without due process of law. Now, right now, there are 2255 02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:24,120 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people when I've heard this argument before, 2256 02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:25,760 Speaker 1: you're honor, so I really want to dive right on 2257 02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:28,800 Speaker 1: into it that are saying, Wait a second, it's the 2258 02:02:28,960 --> 02:02:34,720 Speaker 1: United States Constitution. The Constitution provides protection of course and 2259 02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:38,880 Speaker 1: liberties and freedoms to US citizens. We can't extend it 2260 02:02:38,920 --> 02:02:41,720 Speaker 1: out to every human being in the world. That is 2261 02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:45,720 Speaker 1: not your interpretation of no person shall be to private life, 2262 02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:47,080 Speaker 1: liberty party, that's everybody. 2263 02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:51,480 Speaker 16: Well, that's not my interpretation. That's the Supreme Court's interpretation. 2264 02:02:52,200 --> 02:02:55,760 Speaker 16: The word is person, it's not Americans. I didn't put 2265 02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:59,560 Speaker 16: this in the in the article, and of course I 2266 02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:03,640 Speaker 16: won't his name, but I received an email from a 2267 02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:08,960 Speaker 16: very well known retired admiral. I don't know if it's 2268 02:03:09,080 --> 02:03:12,400 Speaker 16: two stars or three stars, but it's the second or 2269 02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:17,560 Speaker 16: third level up there who read a prior piece that 2270 02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:20,880 Speaker 16: I wrote about this before we knew about the two survivors. 2271 02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,600 Speaker 16: The key to my piece this week is that there 2272 02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:27,920 Speaker 16: are two survivors, which is the Trumpian headache because without 2273 02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:34,240 Speaker 16: leaving their home countries, they can commence an action under 2274 02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:38,200 Speaker 16: the Civil Rights Act for the use of official power 2275 02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:42,840 Speaker 16: to attempt to kill them and to kidnap them. The 2276 02:03:42,960 --> 02:03:47,480 Speaker 16: admiral said to me, we stopped boats all the time. 2277 02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:52,480 Speaker 16: We did so only when we had probable cause. We 2278 02:03:52,720 --> 02:03:56,360 Speaker 16: never killed anybody. If there was probable cause. If we 2279 02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:59,120 Speaker 16: found drugs, we seized the boat. We arrested the people, 2280 02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:01,160 Speaker 16: we turn them over. The Coastguard have turned them over 2281 02:04:01,720 --> 02:04:03,840 Speaker 16: to the Department of Justice. We don't know what happened 2282 02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:05,640 Speaker 16: to them. It wasn't our job, but we assume they 2283 02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:10,760 Speaker 16: had a trial. If we had been ordered to kill people, 2284 02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:14,280 Speaker 16: these stars on my shoulder would have been thrown on 2285 02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:16,240 Speaker 16: the Secretary of Defense's desk. 2286 02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Right, we need to stand as a higher, nobler country. 2287 02:04:20,680 --> 02:04:24,800 Speaker 1: The idea of due process, for me, lends credibility to 2288 02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:28,360 Speaker 1: our actions. If there's going to be accountability by way 2289 02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:31,080 Speaker 1: of punishment or even in certain cases. And I don't 2290 02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:32,960 Speaker 1: believe in the death penalty Judge of Poloitano, but if 2291 02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:35,480 Speaker 1: we're going to execute somebody, you're entitled to due process. 2292 02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:37,680 Speaker 1: It sends a message to the world that we're not 2293 02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:40,680 Speaker 1: crazy We're not rogue. We're not just running around blowing 2294 02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:42,200 Speaker 1: up every human being on the planet that we find 2295 02:04:42,240 --> 02:04:45,760 Speaker 1: offence with. And you know, and to your point, as 2296 02:04:45,760 --> 02:04:47,800 Speaker 1: I said earlier in the program, I've said before, Okay, 2297 02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:50,680 Speaker 1: you're seeing a submarine. It's fifteen hundred two thousand miles away. 2298 02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:52,839 Speaker 1: You've got you've got video of it, you've got satellite 2299 02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:55,560 Speaker 1: tracking of it. Keep your eye on it until it 2300 02:04:55,600 --> 02:04:59,320 Speaker 1: gets into US waters, and it's sending the coastguard, and 2301 02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:01,280 Speaker 1: go through the process. So you just talked about we 2302 02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:03,240 Speaker 1: don't have the death penalty for drug dealing here in 2303 02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:04,600 Speaker 1: the United States, Your honor. 2304 02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:06,520 Speaker 2: Right, right. 2305 02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:12,280 Speaker 16: So you know, I don't know anything about these two survivors. 2306 02:05:12,320 --> 02:05:16,360 Speaker 16: I don't know about their physical slash medical condition. I 2307 02:05:16,480 --> 02:05:19,960 Speaker 16: don't know if they are the type of people that 2308 02:05:20,040 --> 02:05:23,480 Speaker 16: would file this complaint. But I do know that there 2309 02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:27,040 Speaker 16: are civil rights lawyers trying to find them. Oh yeah, 2310 02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:32,360 Speaker 16: because they need a real living plaintiff who has standing. 2311 02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:35,360 Speaker 16: And from that story I told you I put in 2312 02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:39,080 Speaker 16: there about Don war Alacki's father, where the judge says, 2313 02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:41,840 Speaker 16: you know, sir, you don't have standing, there's no harm 2314 02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,800 Speaker 16: to you. Your son would have standing. Of course, the 2315 02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:47,200 Speaker 16: son was obliterated before he could. 2316 02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:48,120 Speaker 4: Get to a federal court. 2317 02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:51,760 Speaker 16: It is clear that these two people have standing to 2318 02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:53,960 Speaker 16: bring an action against the government, and that would of 2319 02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:57,720 Speaker 16: course litigate this, that would put before a federal judge. 2320 02:05:58,280 --> 02:06:01,480 Speaker 16: Trump's claimed powers to to kill people in the High 2321 02:06:01,560 --> 02:06:06,680 Speaker 16: seas if they can get these folks to become plaintiffs, right, 2322 02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:10,200 Speaker 16: But this is the nightmare for the DOJ. I can 2323 02:06:10,280 --> 02:06:13,560 Speaker 16: only imagine because they keep everything secret, that they had 2324 02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,840 Speaker 16: a great debate about what do we do with these people? 2325 02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:19,120 Speaker 16: The President says, they're drug dealers? Can we just let 2326 02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:22,560 Speaker 16: them go? Do we have enough evidence to arrest them? 2327 02:06:22,800 --> 02:06:24,760 Speaker 4: Do we have enough evidence to prosecute them? 2328 02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:27,560 Speaker 16: These must have been the types of questions that the 2329 02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,960 Speaker 16: DOJ was debating in the past week when they took 2330 02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:34,920 Speaker 16: the safe course of repatriating them, because if they brought 2331 02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:38,320 Speaker 16: them to the United States, well then there's no question 2332 02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:40,560 Speaker 16: but that there'd be litigation. 2333 02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:44,800 Speaker 1: I almost want to hasten to mention Guantanamo Bay. We 2334 02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:47,000 Speaker 1: had some due process problems there too as well. We've 2335 02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:49,280 Speaker 1: talked many times about the torture that went on there 2336 02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:53,920 Speaker 1: and the problems associated with that. I guess I have 2337 02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:54,360 Speaker 1: to ask you. 2338 02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:58,200 Speaker 16: That Guantanamo Bay. How many trials have they had at 2339 02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:01,839 Speaker 16: Guantanamo obey emanating from nine to eleven? 2340 02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:08,480 Speaker 1: There you go zero, remember zero zero. What would the 2341 02:07:08,760 --> 02:07:10,920 Speaker 1: form of the and I know there's a lawyer out 2342 02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:12,440 Speaker 1: there that would love to find these guys. As you 2343 02:07:12,520 --> 02:07:15,320 Speaker 1: pointed out, what would the nature of the claim against 2344 02:07:15,320 --> 02:07:17,520 Speaker 1: the US government? Is it a civil rights violation? Do 2345 02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:18,360 Speaker 1: process violation? 2346 02:07:18,480 --> 02:07:18,640 Speaker 7: Yes? 2347 02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:23,680 Speaker 16: Yes, Now normally this is a criminal case. Normally, a 2348 02:07:23,880 --> 02:07:27,880 Speaker 16: government agent who used the force of law illegally to 2349 02:07:28,080 --> 02:07:32,600 Speaker 16: attempt to kill somebody or to kidnap them would be 2350 02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:35,440 Speaker 16: prosecuted by the DOJ. Obviously, the DOJ is not going 2351 02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:38,919 Speaker 16: to prosecute the president or Pete Hegseeth or an admiral 2352 02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:44,320 Speaker 16: or even a guy in a Navy jet that dropped 2353 02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:46,640 Speaker 16: the bombs at the boat. So it would be a 2354 02:07:46,920 --> 02:07:53,360 Speaker 16: civil case alleging the undercolor of law, the government tried 2355 02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:56,440 Speaker 16: to kill them. You know, this wasn't Donald Trump with 2356 02:07:56,520 --> 02:08:01,040 Speaker 16: a personal pistol. This was the government trying to kill them. 2357 02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:06,280 Speaker 16: And then this was the government kidnapping them. This is 2358 02:08:06,360 --> 02:08:10,200 Speaker 16: basically a Bivens case, Brian. Now the court has made 2359 02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:14,000 Speaker 16: these Bivens cases. Bivens is a famous case from the 2360 02:08:14,080 --> 02:08:17,640 Speaker 16: sixties in which a person was terribly beaten up in 2361 02:08:17,680 --> 02:08:22,440 Speaker 16: their home, ransacked, and their freedom curtailed by federal agents 2362 02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:25,560 Speaker 16: who never identified themselves. I never even acknowledged that they 2363 02:08:25,640 --> 02:08:32,440 Speaker 16: work for the federal government. Bivens eventually succeeded. But these 2364 02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:37,360 Speaker 16: types of cases suing the government for using the powers 2365 02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:41,520 Speaker 16: of the law illegally to harm a person are not 2366 02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:45,280 Speaker 16: favored by the courts and are difficult to prosecute. 2367 02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:46,560 Speaker 8: But this is one that ought, in. 2368 02:08:46,640 --> 02:08:50,960 Speaker 16: My view, to be aired because Congress is gutless. The 2369 02:08:51,080 --> 02:08:54,560 Speaker 16: President intimidates everybody around him, and he can't just keep 2370 02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:57,000 Speaker 16: killing people again. 2371 02:08:57,360 --> 02:08:58,760 Speaker 1: You and I are not going to argue about this. 2372 02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:01,800 Speaker 1: We have Congress from asses and Senator Ran Palmer's side anyway, 2373 02:09:01,840 --> 02:09:04,760 Speaker 1: which I think gives us street credibility. Judge Napolitan, at 2374 02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:06,880 Speaker 1: least a one of my listeners. They can feel free 2375 02:09:06,920 --> 02:09:10,480 Speaker 1: to disagree, but expedience is no justification for tossing out 2376 02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:14,080 Speaker 1: constitutional rights. I'll hang my hat on that all day. 2377 02:09:14,120 --> 02:09:17,560 Speaker 1: Log Judge Enna Politano, beautiful, insightful article you wrote it 2378 02:09:17,640 --> 02:09:20,560 Speaker 1: coming out tonight a Trumpian headache.

Lakita Cole dot com. 2400 02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:28,440 Speaker 4: L A k E t A. 2401 02:10:29,080 --> 02:10:31,920 Speaker 1: Colecol dot com. Lakida Cole. It's great to have you 2402 02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:33,560 Speaker 1: here on the fifty five KRC Morning Show. 2403 02:10:34,680 --> 02:10:37,040 Speaker 6: Good morning, good morning, Good morning Cincinnati. 2404 02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:40,440 Speaker 1: Well, I hope people remember that you happy to do it. 2405 02:10:40,520 --> 02:10:42,320 Speaker 1: You did serve as a city council member, You were 2406 02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:46,120 Speaker 1: chief of staff, council aid, a state legislator, You held 2407 02:10:46,160 --> 02:10:49,120 Speaker 1: senior roles within community a city administration. You obviously have 2408 02:10:49,280 --> 02:10:52,200 Speaker 1: a connection of familiarity with the system, so people can't 2409 02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:56,680 Speaker 1: call you inexperience. Lakita. Let's jump right to police chief 2410 02:10:56,760 --> 02:10:59,400 Speaker 1: threesa Thiji. She was put on administrative leave, and I 2411 02:10:59,440 --> 02:11:05,120 Speaker 1: guess according to her lawyers, no reason whatsoever was cited. 2412 02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:07,360 Speaker 1: They did not cite some sort of you know, problem 2413 02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:10,120 Speaker 1: with her work experience. How she It's just it's a 2414 02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:13,480 Speaker 1: big mystery. And her lawyer was out yesterday saying that 2415 02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,040 Speaker 1: she can only be dismissed for cause because she's been 2416 02:11:16,040 --> 02:11:18,440 Speaker 1: an employee for more than six months, so the city 2417 02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:21,920 Speaker 1: charter prevents her from being let go. But I don't 2418 02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:24,000 Speaker 1: know what her status is, whether she's been fired or 2419 02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:28,840 Speaker 1: merely placing your own administrative leave crosses that barrier. But 2420 02:11:29,320 --> 02:11:31,720 Speaker 1: this all seems to be very politically motivated as we 2421 02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:34,920 Speaker 1: fast approached the November election day. What's your take on this, 2422 02:11:35,040 --> 02:11:35,879 Speaker 1: Lakita Cole. 2423 02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:40,000 Speaker 6: I definitely agree with that. And it's ridiculous because just 2424 02:11:40,080 --> 02:11:42,480 Speaker 6: a month ago they the city manager and the mayor 2425 02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,640 Speaker 6: was just praising her. So you know, a month later, 2426 02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:48,000 Speaker 6: you're making her escapegoat. And you know, just the way 2427 02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:51,760 Speaker 6: they're doing things is just chaotic, and it just shows 2428 02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:54,760 Speaker 6: you that there's no real vision down there. There's no 2429 02:11:55,240 --> 02:11:58,040 Speaker 6: you know, lack, there's a lack of urgency of what 2430 02:11:58,200 --> 02:12:01,520 Speaker 6: to do. And you know, you know, you can't sem 2431 02:12:01,600 --> 02:12:05,480 Speaker 6: out fire her because there is violence. There's no police 2432 02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:08,120 Speaker 6: chief in this country can guarantee you that there's not 2433 02:12:08,240 --> 02:12:11,160 Speaker 6: going to be violent, right, you know, And and it's 2434 02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:13,600 Speaker 6: just it just tells you that there's so much dysfunction 2435 02:12:13,760 --> 02:12:16,000 Speaker 6: going on down there. I mean, look what they did 2436 02:12:16,120 --> 02:12:19,080 Speaker 6: with the fire chief. You know they're gonna have to 2437 02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,560 Speaker 6: back cut on that. It's just it's just totally dysfunction 2438 02:12:22,760 --> 02:12:26,120 Speaker 6: and chaotics. It just shows you that this, you know, 2439 02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:29,120 Speaker 6: the mayor and the city manager. It seems like they 2440 02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:30,120 Speaker 6: don't know what they're doing. 2441 02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:32,920 Speaker 1: I think you summed it up quite nicely. They're lakida. 2442 02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is almost the mirror image of what 2443 02:12:34,720 --> 02:12:37,720 Speaker 1: they did to Uh to the to the fire chief. 2444 02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of his case wrongfully terminated. He's 2445 02:12:40,040 --> 02:12:42,040 Speaker 1: waiting to get a big check written by the taxpayers 2446 02:12:42,040 --> 02:12:44,480 Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati. It looks like check number 2447 02:12:44,520 --> 02:12:46,920 Speaker 1: two exactly. Yeah, check number two is coming. 2448 02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:48,080 Speaker 4: Our way exactly. 2449 02:12:49,240 --> 02:12:51,960 Speaker 6: Exactly. What's gonna happen with the police. With the police chief, 2450 02:12:52,040 --> 02:12:54,960 Speaker 6: I'm like getting together. I mean, it's it's you got 2451 02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:57,360 Speaker 6: news conferences. Like I said, just last month, you were 2452 02:12:57,440 --> 02:13:01,440 Speaker 6: praising her right job. So now you put on you 2453 02:13:01,720 --> 02:13:04,320 Speaker 6: you call her back in, so you changed her in 2454 02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:07,200 Speaker 6: front of all the police chiefs. You know, this is 2455 02:13:07,320 --> 02:13:09,400 Speaker 6: just not the way you handle things now. 2456 02:13:09,560 --> 02:13:11,880 Speaker 1: But the nature of the role as police chief or 2457 02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:14,680 Speaker 1: fire chief, as the case maybe, has changed dramatically since 2458 02:13:14,720 --> 02:13:17,840 Speaker 1: Issue five passed. No longer do the members of the 2459 02:13:17,960 --> 02:13:20,560 Speaker 1: unions of the police force choose their own police chief. 2460 02:13:20,640 --> 02:13:22,560 Speaker 1: It's now in the hands of two people, the mayor 2461 02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:25,120 Speaker 1: and the city manager. So they have a tremendous amount 2462 02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:27,840 Speaker 1: of control and sway over the job because they're in 2463 02:13:27,880 --> 02:13:30,520 Speaker 1: a position to fire someone. I guess they could make 2464 02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:32,600 Speaker 1: up cause, but they could get easily rid of it. 2465 02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:36,040 Speaker 1: So it's been suggested I heard it from the FOP president. 2466 02:13:36,160 --> 02:13:39,640 Speaker 1: I've heard it from others that she was following the 2467 02:13:39,720 --> 02:13:44,600 Speaker 1: directive of aftab Purval and the city manager. So she 2468 02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:46,840 Speaker 1: did what they said, and in doing what they said 2469 02:13:46,840 --> 02:13:50,879 Speaker 1: in terms of law enforcement, crime became a real problem. 2470 02:13:51,160 --> 02:13:53,840 Speaker 1: So by following their directive, she ends up without a job, 2471 02:13:53,960 --> 02:13:57,800 Speaker 1: or at least on administrative leave. I'm not quite sure. 2472 02:13:57,880 --> 02:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I smell a rat here Lakeitera Cole. 2473 02:14:01,360 --> 02:14:06,120 Speaker 6: I'm in total agreements with you, quite quick. Caducts is 2474 02:14:06,160 --> 02:14:09,720 Speaker 6: a duck, quite quack. And this is why it's definitely 2475 02:14:09,800 --> 02:14:12,240 Speaker 6: impairedive for what you said at the beginning. We have 2476 02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:14,840 Speaker 6: to change what's going on down there. Not only then, 2477 02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:17,920 Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you, you know, we definitely need to 2478 02:14:17,920 --> 02:14:21,440 Speaker 6: get a recall, a ballid initiative, a recall for the mayor, 2479 02:14:21,560 --> 02:14:24,320 Speaker 6: a valid initiative. And it also shows you that this 2480 02:14:24,520 --> 02:14:27,760 Speaker 6: function of what when we passed that the only person 2481 02:14:28,200 --> 02:14:31,760 Speaker 6: that can bring up the city manager for firing is 2482 02:14:32,120 --> 02:14:34,400 Speaker 6: the mayor. I just don't think that that's will be 2483 02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:36,120 Speaker 6: the way it should go. I think there needs to 2484 02:14:36,160 --> 02:14:38,560 Speaker 6: be something where maybe the supermajority can bring up the 2485 02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:39,640 Speaker 6: city mayor ser. 2486 02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:40,040 Speaker 2: Up as well. 2487 02:14:40,440 --> 02:14:43,240 Speaker 6: But the have is in the hands of one person, 2488 02:14:44,040 --> 02:14:47,080 Speaker 6: and especially when that person don't know what they're doing, 2489 02:14:47,200 --> 02:14:50,000 Speaker 6: and it's obvious because look what happened, Look what's going on. 2490 02:14:50,680 --> 02:14:52,760 Speaker 6: I mean, never in the history have I ever heard 2491 02:14:53,080 --> 02:14:58,160 Speaker 6: you have to have eighteen thousand citizens from one neighborhood 2492 02:14:58,520 --> 02:15:02,520 Speaker 6: do a go forward a ballot initiative on an issue 2493 02:15:02,560 --> 02:15:05,360 Speaker 6: that you passed the council path. I'll tell you that 2494 02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:07,720 Speaker 6: this council is so dysfunctional. 2495 02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:10,560 Speaker 1: Lakita, I can't believe. I'm so happy you brought that up, 2496 02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:12,280 Speaker 1: because I was clearly going to ask you about Hyde Park, 2497 02:15:12,320 --> 02:15:14,840 Speaker 1: but also Bondhill. So I see your website and I 2498 02:15:14,960 --> 02:15:18,280 Speaker 1: love the way you've outlined your platform. C l E 2499 02:15:18,880 --> 02:15:24,760 Speaker 1: see Community Council reformed, the oh oppose connected communities, zoning, 2500 02:15:24,880 --> 02:15:27,560 Speaker 1: one size fits all. You are not entitled to choose 2501 02:15:27,600 --> 02:15:30,320 Speaker 1: your own destiny any of the fifty two neighborhoods. I 2502 02:15:30,400 --> 02:15:32,920 Speaker 1: thought that was offensive. Clearly Hyde Park thought of defensive. 2503 02:15:32,920 --> 02:15:34,440 Speaker 1: We don't have to get a ballot initiative on which 2504 02:15:34,480 --> 02:15:36,600 Speaker 1: made have to have pur ball pull the plug on 2505 02:15:36,800 --> 02:15:41,320 Speaker 1: the well connected development waiver to community to community connected communities. 2506 02:15:41,560 --> 02:15:44,440 Speaker 1: Bondhill had a similar problem. I think every neighborhood should 2507 02:15:44,440 --> 02:15:46,120 Speaker 1: be able to control their own destiny when it comes 2508 02:15:46,160 --> 02:15:47,760 Speaker 1: to housing and development. 2509 02:15:49,160 --> 02:15:51,600 Speaker 6: I totally agree. Last Friday, you know I'm the vice 2510 02:15:51,640 --> 02:15:54,560 Speaker 6: president of Bondhaim Community Council. Last Friday, I spent my 2511 02:15:54,680 --> 02:15:58,880 Speaker 6: Friday evenings with the community count with our community trying 2512 02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:02,480 Speaker 6: to come up with some type of way that we 2513 02:16:02,600 --> 02:16:05,080 Speaker 6: can work through the of the day break issue and 2514 02:16:05,600 --> 02:16:08,440 Speaker 6: get a benefit of agreement or something we can actually 2515 02:16:08,520 --> 02:16:11,240 Speaker 6: developer try to sell back. I mean, we should not 2516 02:16:11,400 --> 02:16:13,840 Speaker 6: be having him to spend on our Friday evenings doing 2517 02:16:13,920 --> 02:16:16,600 Speaker 6: this because of this city council and its administration just 2518 02:16:16,720 --> 02:16:21,000 Speaker 6: will not listen. Right, They are so dysfunctional, but yet 2519 02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:23,360 Speaker 6: they think they know what's going on, and they do not. 2520 02:16:23,480 --> 02:16:26,760 Speaker 6: They are so disconnected. I wish I had a D 2521 02:16:26,920 --> 02:16:29,120 Speaker 6: in my name so I can say disconnected. 2522 02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:34,840 Speaker 1: You cracking me up, Lakita. All right, so we have 2523 02:16:34,920 --> 02:16:38,280 Speaker 1: a crime problem. Obviously, I suppose if you were in charge, 2524 02:16:38,600 --> 02:16:42,000 Speaker 1: would you have accepted all of the I wan underscore 2525 02:16:42,080 --> 02:16:45,240 Speaker 1: this word free offer of assistance from governor to wine. 2526 02:16:45,480 --> 02:16:49,279 Speaker 1: He offered Ohio State Police, Ohio State but you police 2527 02:16:49,920 --> 02:16:52,120 Speaker 1: to work every day of the month, Mayor, I have 2528 02:16:52,240 --> 02:16:54,560 Speaker 1: to have provo. At first only took two days and 2529 02:16:54,640 --> 02:16:56,920 Speaker 1: now he's up to a total of four days. Crime 2530 02:16:57,040 --> 02:16:59,960 Speaker 1: is a twenty four to seven all month long problem. Lakda, 2531 02:17:00,160 --> 02:17:02,720 Speaker 1: what would you recommend her? If you were in his position, 2532 02:17:02,760 --> 02:17:04,520 Speaker 1: would you have taken all the relief that the wine 2533 02:17:04,600 --> 02:17:05,039 Speaker 1: was offering? 2534 02:17:06,440 --> 02:17:08,120 Speaker 6: You know, no, because I'm gonna be honest with you. 2535 02:17:08,200 --> 02:17:10,440 Speaker 6: I'm fearful that they would be you know, we would 2536 02:17:10,440 --> 02:17:13,160 Speaker 6: be over police and they don't know our community. However, 2537 02:17:13,320 --> 02:17:15,520 Speaker 6: what I would do, what I would make sure that 2538 02:17:15,680 --> 02:17:18,440 Speaker 6: we have what we had before UNDERNA one of the 2539 02:17:18,480 --> 02:17:24,120 Speaker 6: police sheets. We had those pockets of like community orient policing, 2540 02:17:24,480 --> 02:17:28,480 Speaker 6: We had citizens on patrol, we had our community leaders 2541 02:17:28,520 --> 02:17:31,720 Speaker 6: out there in those pockets where they were the crime 2542 02:17:31,879 --> 02:17:34,680 Speaker 6: was very high and up and that therefore people can 2543 02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:36,960 Speaker 6: pay attention what's going on. I don't believe that you 2544 02:17:37,080 --> 02:17:39,840 Speaker 6: make this school also the escapegoat about what's going on 2545 02:17:40,400 --> 02:17:42,560 Speaker 6: down the Frount Square. What you do is is when 2546 02:17:42,640 --> 02:17:45,400 Speaker 6: I was in school, we had those Metro buses diverted 2547 02:17:45,440 --> 02:17:47,960 Speaker 6: from away from downtown. In fact, what they did is 2548 02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:50,440 Speaker 6: they brought the kids directly to the schools. That's what 2549 02:17:50,560 --> 02:17:52,400 Speaker 6: they need, That's what needs to happen. You need to 2550 02:17:52,400 --> 02:17:54,720 Speaker 6: work with the Metro and figure out a way having 2551 02:17:54,760 --> 02:17:56,960 Speaker 6: those kids go directly to the schools and not in 2552 02:17:57,040 --> 02:18:00,200 Speaker 6: diverted away from downtown. Never in my history of ever 2553 02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:05,959 Speaker 6: sing Swat having to patrol Feutain Square, Swat patrolling Felon Square. 2554 02:18:06,520 --> 02:18:08,920 Speaker 6: That is disfunctional at its highest level. 2555 02:18:09,480 --> 02:18:13,120 Speaker 1: I understand, and obviously we have a growing problem with 2556 02:18:13,280 --> 02:18:16,360 Speaker 1: young people in society, and I personally, look, kitty, you 2557 02:18:16,400 --> 02:18:18,640 Speaker 1: can disagree with me if you want, that's fine. I 2558 02:18:18,720 --> 02:18:21,320 Speaker 1: believe it's the consequence of the breakdown of the nuclear family. 2559 02:18:21,440 --> 02:18:23,000 Speaker 1: I know, I don't know how you grow up. But 2560 02:18:23,360 --> 02:18:25,320 Speaker 1: I had a curfew in the house, and if I 2561 02:18:25,440 --> 02:18:27,440 Speaker 1: wasn't home by curfew and I didn't call ahead of 2562 02:18:27,520 --> 02:18:29,920 Speaker 1: time saying I needed some extra time, I was in 2563 02:18:30,080 --> 02:18:32,280 Speaker 1: for a world of hurt. My parents would be sitting 2564 02:18:32,280 --> 02:18:33,959 Speaker 1: They're waiting for me to walk in the front door. 2565 02:18:34,120 --> 02:18:36,520 Speaker 1: So I wasn't able to run a muck. Now if 2566 02:18:36,600 --> 02:18:39,720 Speaker 1: we could, if if government could change the reality of 2567 02:18:39,800 --> 02:18:43,360 Speaker 1: what's going on in any given household, fine, but you can't. 2568 02:18:43,720 --> 02:18:46,840 Speaker 1: A teacher can't change the life that that child has 2569 02:18:46,879 --> 02:18:49,640 Speaker 1: grown up with. As much as we wanted, they're overwhelmed 2570 02:18:49,640 --> 02:18:51,720 Speaker 1: with a challenge. So I know you've you've got a 2571 02:18:52,480 --> 02:18:55,880 Speaker 1: like reaching out ideas about listening to parents and talking 2572 02:18:55,920 --> 02:18:59,000 Speaker 1: directly with youth. How come might we use that concept 2573 02:18:59,120 --> 02:19:01,480 Speaker 1: to change what's going on with our young people? 2574 02:19:01,560 --> 02:19:05,119 Speaker 6: Lakita Sure, yeah, So I have been out there talking 2575 02:19:05,160 --> 02:19:06,720 Speaker 6: with the young people. I spend some time of the AGA, 2576 02:19:06,720 --> 02:19:08,200 Speaker 6: and I spend some time with Woodward, and many of 2577 02:19:08,240 --> 02:19:10,760 Speaker 6: those kids are saying they really just want an opportunity 2578 02:19:10,879 --> 02:19:12,960 Speaker 6: more than just fast foods. And they also want a 2579 02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:15,560 Speaker 6: place to go our recreation center. Because I said, well, 2580 02:19:15,560 --> 02:19:17,880 Speaker 6: what about our recreation centers? They don't feel like they're 2581 02:19:17,879 --> 02:19:20,720 Speaker 6: inviting and the opening to them. Many of them say 2582 02:19:20,720 --> 02:19:22,720 Speaker 6: that they go in, they can't come back out. They 2583 02:19:22,840 --> 02:19:24,760 Speaker 6: go in and they leave, they can't come back. If 2584 02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:26,600 Speaker 6: they go to get something to eat, they can't come 2585 02:19:26,680 --> 02:19:29,920 Speaker 6: back in. It's just not an open and welcoming environment 2586 02:19:29,959 --> 02:19:31,800 Speaker 6: for them. So we have to make sure that if 2587 02:19:31,840 --> 02:19:34,560 Speaker 6: we have these recreation centers in our communities, they open 2588 02:19:34,640 --> 02:19:36,880 Speaker 6: to them to have somewhere for them to go. You're 2589 02:19:36,879 --> 02:19:39,720 Speaker 6: absolutely right. We can't police somebody inside their home. But 2590 02:19:39,840 --> 02:19:44,520 Speaker 6: we can't do is demand some opportunities for these young people. 2591 02:19:44,720 --> 02:19:49,599 Speaker 6: But demand, for example, you have the trades, you have apprenticeships. 2592 02:19:49,760 --> 02:19:52,520 Speaker 6: These young kids are looking for an opportunity. They don't 2593 02:19:52,520 --> 02:19:53,720 Speaker 6: want to just hang out. They don't want to just 2594 02:19:53,760 --> 02:19:56,080 Speaker 6: have a fast food restaurant. They want more. They want 2595 02:19:56,120 --> 02:19:58,200 Speaker 6: a career path, and that's what we need to have. 2596 02:19:58,400 --> 02:20:00,879 Speaker 6: We need to bring back as I keep say CCY 2597 02:20:01,200 --> 02:20:03,200 Speaker 6: and bring it in house, yes, and not have it 2598 02:20:03,320 --> 02:20:05,840 Speaker 6: outside house. To have it in house well, we actually 2599 02:20:05,840 --> 02:20:08,840 Speaker 6: can control of the milestones and making sure that it's 2600 02:20:08,879 --> 02:20:10,480 Speaker 6: doing what it's supposed to do and if not, then 2601 02:20:10,560 --> 02:20:11,360 Speaker 6: we change courses. 2602 02:20:11,840 --> 02:20:15,440 Speaker 1: Trades are a great option for literally anybody. You can 2603 02:20:15,520 --> 02:20:19,120 Speaker 1: earn what you learn, and artificial intelligence cannot take away 2604 02:20:19,600 --> 02:20:23,920 Speaker 1: a plumber's employment or electricians for that.
