1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Five o five. If give I have k r C

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: the talk station SI.

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Happy Monday, and that's the way the news goes.

4
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the way the news goes, and sadly

5
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: it's kind of lousy news in this world. Anyway, try

6
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: to have happy Monday. My name is Brian Thomas, host

7
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: of this program, the fifty five KRC Morning Show. I'm

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: glad to be glad to see Joe Sstrekker, Wory Blogs

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: executive producer, Internet research guru. All right, great guy. Couldn't

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: do the show without Joe, and wouldn't see Ken Coober

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: on the rundown without Joe Strekker coming up two hours

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: seven oh five with Ken Cober FLP President. Hey, do

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: you realize they had a bunch of shootings over the weekend.

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: You know what, Joe, we need a marketing strategy. That's

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: why we need a change of marketing strategy. According to

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the survey of the residents of the City of Cincinnati,

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: we broke down last week. Yeah, it's just messaging. They

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: don't believe your own eyes. Don't believe what you read

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: in the papers or what you don't read in the papers.

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: I just had to go in and talk to Joe

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: Strekker this morning, because you know, I had a picture

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: here off sincey feed, which you know, I don't know

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: anything about it. It's a Facebook page. I'm looking at

24
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: another Facebook page called Cincinnati News. No Channel nine, no

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Channel twelve, no Fox nineteen, no CINCINNI inquire not a

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: single word in what we have, at least traditionally relied

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: on in so far as getting our local news about

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: the street takeover at Glenway and cles Warsaw. It's like, Joe,

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: did you look around for an article on this, because

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I can't find anything. No, That's why I sent you

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: just a picture screen cap of the Sincy feed facebook page.

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Team takeover in Cincinnati gone. Hell, yeah, went wrong. It

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: was like two hundred people out there. Apparently shots were fired.

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Apparently operative word of what I just said, because you

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: know what, like Abraham Lincoln said, if you read it

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: on the internet, it must be true. Well, you know,

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: we traditionally had some local news reporting that would verify

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: or you know, confirm or say no, no no, the details

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: on that were wrong, you at least put some measure

40
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: of faith. As biased as it might be that the

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: local news, the traditional local news might have some word

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: on it. Hear nothing. FOP President Ken Kober is going

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: to talk about that. Apparently a ton of police and

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: he even reported a lot of rorests. Just one of

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: the things going on in downtown cincinnative of the weekend.

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Oh look, let me run through the headlines. One person

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: hospitalized for a gunshit wound to the head. Happened Sunday

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: evening a little after eight pm, sixteen hundred block of Mine.

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: One person hospitalized after shooting a Lower Price Hill seven

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: forty two pm yesterday, twenty one hundred block a Saint

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: Michael Street. Fifteen year old boy killed in North Avenuel

52
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: shooting eight hundred block at Glenwood Avenue yesterday around midnight.

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: And one person injured after his shooting in Mount Airy.

54
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: That one happened on Saturday. Oh well, it's okay. Then

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: it was spread out over time, almost right before five

56
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: pm on Saturday. So there's your le your tragic headlines.

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: You think this has something to do with the warmer temperatures, Joe,

58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: we hit about eighty plus degrees yesterday. It's a little

59
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: foreshadowing of what we're going to face throughout the rest

60
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: of the summer. Do we need a new message. Do

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: we need new marketing. We got to convince people that

62
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: they're not reading actual headlines on those I look, I'll

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: give Fox nineteen credit for the last headlines I just read.

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: Sadly nothing there about the street takeover in what was

65
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: basically my old neighborhood growing up. Well, I mean, I

66
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: live further down the street on Glee's Wars.

67
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: I'll fight.

68
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Anyhow right there by Heart Pharmacy. I just remember when

69
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, the little Heart VW with

70
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the UH mortar and pestles sitting on top of it,

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: delivering pharmaceuticals to our home back in the day. Anyhow,

72
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: eighty two three top pound five fifty on AT and

74
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: T phones. Again, that's FOP President can covert seven to five.

75
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm sure he want to talk about that, Christopher Smithman.

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Of course, he'll probably bring that up to seven twenty

77
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: with the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati

78
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: for the vent the smither vent eighth five Go Monday

79
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Monday's Brian James Every Monday at eight oh five, How

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: are oil gas electricity prices affecting your budget? And brace yourself.

81
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: You haven't seen the end of the increase in uh well,

82
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: at least gasoline prices, and of course will ripple effect.

83
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: Diesel price is going through the roof. Your food is

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: going to be impacted by that? How long is the

85
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: war going to last? As they start talking about hitting

86
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, some real serious infrastr ructure targets. Donald Trump

87
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: threatened to hit the nuclear base, the Tehran power plants.

88
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: Again it was Tehran obviously depriving the civilian population of energy,

89
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: a humanitarian mess that will be most notably yes, and

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: then there retaliatory strikes. We find out iron Hey, they've

91
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: got some long long range missiles. Do you know that?

92
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred mile missiles? And boy, that was kind

93
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: of an eye opener, wasn't it. Where were those things parked?

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: They obviously weren't on the top list the targets that

95
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: when we went in, so it was thousands and thousands

96
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: of military targets hit. Apparently the Iranian navy has been decimated.

97
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: But look, lo and behold, they have some long range

98
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: missiles frightening the crap out of everybody, and they're promising

99
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: to hit hard serious infrastructure. You think there's a global

100
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: price shock with the closure of the Straight of hor

101
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Movez or the significant closure anyway, imagine if you will,

102
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: the oil producing installations which have been largely from what

103
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: I hear, largely unscathed thus far. What do they say

104
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: about a caged animal or a cornered animal? You know

105
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: you're in your last act of desperation. Isn't that what

106
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: you explore when people just completely lose it? Like let's

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: say the Iranians are backed into a corner and they

108
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: see their lives fasting before their very eyes and the

109
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: existence of their theocracy coming to a collapse. Oh my god,

110
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: let's throw everything we've got at the rest of the

111
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: world in an act of desperation to try to get

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: down to put the brakes on. Got a gin up

113
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: global anger against the whole conflict. Now, if you're the world,

114
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: which side do you end up on? Is it those

115
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: pesky Americans going on their imperialism? Is that what's causing this?

116
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Or is it the Iranians existence in the first place

117
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: that has caused global instability since nineteen seventy nine. But

118
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: if they start blowing up all the in for a

119
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: structure that provides gas and oil and everything else, Oh,

120
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and parenthetically the other ripple effect fertilizers and talking six

121
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: nine months, hence the lack of fertilizers which were previously

122
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: coming through the Strait of Horror Moves and produced there

123
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: in that region of the world, aren't going to get

124
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: out into the world to provide well fertilized fertilization for crops,

125
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have a starvation problem down the road.

126
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Ripple effects are profound, So would it not be you know,

127
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the pesty Chinese and Russians in the

128
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: middle of all this, where they end up. When do

129
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: you call something a world war? Is it the twenty

130
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: nations who have announced their readiness to support the Strait

131
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: of Horror moves and opening it up if we get

132
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: the likes of you know, a handful of countries that

133
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: have did stepped up and at least suggest that they

134
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: would help. Australia, Bahrain in Canada, Chechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Lafia,

135
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: Lithuania and the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovnia, Sweden,

136
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom condemning in these

137
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: strongest terms the attacks by Iran against unarmed civilian shipping vessels.

138
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: They're struggling mightily with the problem that the Straight of

139
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Horror moves has left them with. They hadn't have a

140
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: contingency plan, I guess, to get there to keep their

141
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: power on. So if they collectively join in the struggle

142
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: against the Iranian shutting down the Straight of Horror moves,

143
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: and don't forget the terrorist groups, where do the Russians

144
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: and the Chinese come down on that? I even saw

145
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: an article about the sort of the the quiet acknowledged

146
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: reality that Israel is a nuclear power. Yeah, they don't

147
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: advertise it too much, and sort of some sort of

148
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, quiet calm debate over whether or not

149
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: they do. I think we can all just agree Israel's

150
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: got a bomb. I don't know. This whole thing scares

151
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: the hell out of me. I just I can't make

152
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: much sense out of it. But if everybody joins together

153
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: we get the straight of horn mooes open, it's gonna

154
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: settle a lot of problems. I guess I've just out

155
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: loud wondering what Iran has left. It was a while

156
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: there every day you'd read that the war's over, We've

157
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: beaten Iran, their military is decimated, and then blow and behold,

158
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: another day passes, and now these even more threats, and

159
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of making good on some of them, most notably

160
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: that twenty five hundred mile missile that they shot. If

161
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: you can solve the problem, makes sense of any of this,

162
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: please give me a call. Five one, three, seven, four

163
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three

164
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: top pound five fifty on eighteen and two thound skews

165
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: the sort of jumbled mass of brain purds that was

166
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: the first segment here in the fifty five KC Morning Show,

167
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: as is typically the case of the five o'clock hour.

168
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Not quite awake yet, but I see just the chaos

169
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: generally from city of Cincinnati across the globe. It never

170
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: seems to stop, does it. Oh? Can we just talk

171
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: about our brackets or something? Five point fifteen, don't go

172
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Away'd be right back. Fifty five KRC ed similar to

173
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: distress that there was nothing reported on the street takeover

174
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: that took place. I guess over Friday and Saturday. I'm

175
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: still sketchy on the details, said he wrote me on Saturday,

176
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: or yesterday an email or one twenty pm yesterday. We

177
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: live in el Hi, just out of the CEA limits.

178
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: I understand there was an attempted streakovers takeover at Glenway

179
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: and Cleeves Warsaw last night. I was anxious to learn

180
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: more details about it, but none of the TV station

181
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: had any mention of it on their eleven PM news

182
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: last night. Nothing from the inquiry either. Again, he wrote

183
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: this Sunday. Maybe they run with skeleton crews on the weekends,

184
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: he suspects, perhaps that's why they shove the weather down

185
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: our throats constantly. Just find it curious there's no mention

186
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: of it at all. Hey, could it be that the

187
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: local news is now in coordination with city managers officials

188
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: and Iris Rolie and the uh oh Joe sitting Oh,

189
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: do you think I got it right? Joe's agreeing with

190
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: my conspiracy theory? Is it a conspiracy theory? If all

191
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: the storms the stars seem to align, how is it

192
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: that there's no local media outlets reporting on this? Two

193
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: hundred child teams reportedly widely. You got everybody in the

194
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: area is all freaked out about it. Apparently shots fired,

195
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: got police involved. Nothing isn't it amazing? You just real quick, chuck,

196
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: as I see you're there, I'm gonna get your call.

197
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: In a world of social media, you can report on this.

198
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: In a world of social media, you can put a

199
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: post up on Facebook, you can take video of the

200
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: scene unfolding and let the world know about it. If

201
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: we didn't live in a social media world, if we

202
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't live with an Internet access world where there can

203
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: be citizen reporters, and think of all the stories we've

204
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: learned from citizen reporters that otherwise weren't discovered, but for

205
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: someone like you with an am video camera or their

206
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: cell phone letting the world know about it. Quite often,

207
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: it is then that local news will grab a hold

208
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: of the story and then print it or refute the

209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: details reported by the citizen journalists. That makes sense too.

210
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Gives them an opportunity to open up the story and

211
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: look into the different avenues and answer questions that you

212
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: and I might be having nothing but we know it happened,

213
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: we know the police showed up, we've got video of it,

214
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: and we've got Ken Kober coming to the program at

215
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: seven oh five to confirm or maybe refute what I'm saying.

216
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Right now, Chuck, thanks for calling this morning and bearing

217
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: with me on that. Welcome to the show, no problems.

218
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 4: I got stuff on that too, but never mind. But

219
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: the list that you were saying, you know, Germany, all

220
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: that stuff, yes, that's behind us now, all the where's

221
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: all the ones that are right next to Iran.

222
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Well they're they're busy trying to fend off the the

223
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: Iranian missiles are being launched into that, you know.

224
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but none of them, you know, Saudry Arabia doesn't

225
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: have a maybe or whatever and all that. You know.

226
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: That's what gets me is like, nobody else.

227
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 5: Is there except us?

228
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: Yep, I know.

229
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 4: And I'm a veteran, so so I understand that.

230
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: And I appreciate your service to our country. I appreciate

231
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: your supporting the American veteran having been there man. But yeah,

232
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: a lot of this doesn't make any sense, Chuck. To me,

233
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: It's like, why aren't their local reporters talking about local

234
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: issues right here in the city of Cincinnati. Humm, I'm baffled.

235
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm confused. I am well sort of beside myself with

236
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: this belief this morning. Oh and I love this one.

237
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: You are aware we have a TSA problem going on

238
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: out there right widely reported. Of course, we have laguardi

239
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: Is shut down because of a collision between a fire

240
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: truck and an airplane. Two pilots data on that one,

241
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: but the TSA didn't shut that one down, although it

242
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: could have. Sean Duffy saying yesterday, this staffing crunch is

243
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: only gonna get worse we don't start funding the TSA agents.

244
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: They haven't. They've gone on a paycheck for now a

245
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They said they're gonna quit or they're

246
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: not gonna show up. It's gonna get worse as we

247
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: get closer to Friday, when the next paycheck is due.

248
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Starting salary about fifty grand a year, and Duffy pointed out, Listen,

249
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: if you live in New York or Los Angeles or

250
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Miami and you're not getting a paycheck and you only

251
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: make I say only no disrespect to anybody's making that

252
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: or less money. But when you don't live in an

253
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: area like that, maybe you can get away with making

254
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: fifty grand a year. But there no so it's obviously

255
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: a real problem for them living paycheck to paycheck. I imagine

256
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: in very expensive cities like that. So it's gonna get worse.

257
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: Johnald Trump meanwhile saying that he will not sign any legislation.

258
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: I guess until the Democrats pass the Save America Act.

259
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: That complicates matters, because if he holds good on that one,

260
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: what if they came out with a funding proposal they

261
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: settle this ridiculous shutdown brought to you by Chucky Schumer

262
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: and the Democrats bringing about significant pain for the American people.

263
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Why is he bringing about significant pain for the American people.

264
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: I guess it's because he wants illegal immigrants to be

265
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: treated more nicely by the ICE agents. Oh my god,

266
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: we're all gonna die. Really, what's the Is this a

267
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: failure of priorities? He asked rhetorically. I love this Democrat

268
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: represented Hakem Jeffreys on this TSA thing, because the Trump

269
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: administration is planning on putting ICE agents in there. Like

270
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: they're not trained to do TSA work. I would argue

271
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: they're probably better trained than TSA. What do TSA agents do? Okay,

272
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: not dissing the TSA agents, but as stuff, he pointed out,

273
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of them are just sitting on stools, you know,

274
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: in that you can't re enter area of the airport.

275
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: You just sit there and you watch. If someone tries

276
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: to go through the wrong way, you stop them and

277
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: tell them no, there's no entry through. This not exactly

278
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: rocket science in terms of functionality. So I can see

279
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: ICE helping that, because if you're putting a warm body

280
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: in a seat that otherwise was empty, causing backups and

281
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: delays in the actual TSA screening lines, there's a problem.

282
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: And is it the TSA screening lines that require some

283
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: level of TSA training that ICE agents perhaps do not have.

284
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the manual. I don't know what they

285
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: learn in TSA school. But in so far as the

286
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: idea of ICE agents generally speaking, stepping into the to

287
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: fill the growing numbers of ICE agents who will either

288
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: quit or aren't showing up for their work, Democratic Representatives

289
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Entative Hajakeem Jeffries thinks it would risk lives. The last

290
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: thing that American people need are for untrained ICE agents

291
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially

292
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: to brutalize or in some instances kill them. Is that

293
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: article or does that argument wash with anyone? I mean

294
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: with a measure of sanity, I mean, if you know

295
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: you're running on a forty five degree IQ. I can

296
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: see how that would might resonate with you. But for

297
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: him to say something like that is his primary argument

298
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: with a straight face. We can't have ice agents in

299
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: there because they're going to brutalize and kill people going

300
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: through an air airplane terminal. He thinks ice agents are

301
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: murderers in the purest sense of the world. Do accidents happen, yes,

302
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: Do certain ice agents make mistakes, yeah, But does that

303
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: render them all incapable of performing this task? There's low

304
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: word anyway. Five twenty six Local Stories, which is a

305
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: lot of death and murder and shooting and everything. He

306
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: she didn't get the memo I love to hear from

307
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: you though, five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty D

308
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,160

Speaker 4: Uh.

317
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: Twelve hours ago, I was I was hitting a little

318
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 5: like golf balls on a driving range, working up a

319
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 5: sweat and getting a little sunburned.

320
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what happens a great weekend for yard at work?

321
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, if you had grass to cut, I did it.

322
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: I did, yes, and it needed it too. I couldn't

323
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: believe how thick it was, Tom, And I really was

324
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: like sort of even scratching my head of whether I

325
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: should even cut the grass, like, oh, what the heck,

326
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: go go ahead and do it. As soon as I

327
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: got into him, like whoa, yeah, I here.

328
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 5: All the all the rain and snow that we've had

329
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 5: over the last is what month and a half? Have

330
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 5: two months? Yeah, that's that's the way it's gonna happen, Soss.

331
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 5: It's gonna grow pretty quick.

332
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

333
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 5: You know, being out of town, whether it's here for

334
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: work or wherever, Uh, I get to uh enjoy. And

335
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 5: I said, you know, for the most part, but when

336
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 5: we're just at the at the hotel or whatever, and

337
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 5: you know, we get a little cable. I don't have

338
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: cable at the house, so you know, we get to

339
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 5: when we're when we're all of downtime, we get to look,

340
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 5: you know, look through stuff that we don't normally get

341
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 5: to see. And and sometimes that's pretty good. But sometimes

342
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 5: it's not so good. So so I'm surfing through. Uh,

343
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 5: I think it was Saturday or something, and of course

344
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 5: it got you gotta go past the CNNs and the MS.

345
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 5: Was it M s now or something like that.

346
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't watch it before the name

347
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: change time, so I didn't keep tracking where they landed

348
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: on the name change. So anyhow, well.

349
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: Whatever whatever, M S n b C is calling itself

350
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 5: now and you know, you hit a channel and you

351
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 5: and you just pause for a second or two to

352
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 5: see what it is, and and uh, and a banner

353
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 5: at the bottom of the screen is GOP pushes through

354
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 5: Trump's voter suppression bill. That's the banner, right, So and

355
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 5: obviously they're referring to the Save America Act, right, So, like,

356
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: first of all, it's not Trump's bill. He's not the

357
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 5: one to put it.

358
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Behind it.

359
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, he supports it, obviously, but you know, he's

360
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 5: not the one that wrote the bill people, you know,

361
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 5: and and then and then voters suppression bill. This is

362
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 5: this is this is a prime example of what's wrong

363
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 5: with leeds liberals. They lie. It's just absolutely flat out lie.

364
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 5: Like what you just talked about hiking Jefferies and the

365
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: whole U S A I thing. They are flat out liars.

366
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: They will say whatever they have to say to get

367
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 5: people worked up, so that so that people will be

368
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 5: worked up.

369
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: You've just identified the biggest problem we face as Americans.

370
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: That a statement along the lines of what Haakim Jefferies

371
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: was made, which is the ice agents in acapacity as

372
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: tsa role fillers are going to kill you, that that

373
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: actually works to gin people up, that it doesn't did.

374
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: The response from the vast majority of not all the

375
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: people is one hundred percent, you are out of your mind.

376
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: That is a crock of crap. They don't want to

377
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: kill you think they are the desirous of going in

378
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: and killing people.

379
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, right and again, and it's cause and effect. It

380
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 5: gets people worked up into a frenzy.

381
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's right. That's the problem with America. We're

382
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: so blank and dumb we believe something like that.

383
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: Agreed, agreed, because we don't not enough people use common sense.

384
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 5: Just just stop a minute to think about what you're doing.

385
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: So instead of following an ice agent around or a

386
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 5: group of ice agents around for a day or two

387
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: to try to block and get in the way of

388
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 5: what they're doing. Stop and think about what you're doing.

389
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 5: Save your own life.

390
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: Real quick time. And what are the ICE agents doing

391
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that, yeah, look, two people

392
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: have been killed, two American protesters were killed. Yeah, And

393
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: will there be accountability for that? I feel there will be.

394
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: If there was something wrong, there redo process and maybe

395
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: they'll get prosecuted and go to jail. But what were

396
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: they doing. They were enforcing the same immigration laws that

397
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: have been on the book since back back for Bill

398
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: before Bill Clinton, Obama, the deporter in chief, deported more

399
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: people than Donald Trump has in his first term and

400
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: this term together, under the same laws. Where was the outrage?

401
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, It's just there was nothing at all.

402
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: It's the same laws being enforced.

403
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

404
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 5: So your media, including the local media, is your your

405
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: media is complicit in this? Yeah, because they will not

406
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: they will not put out correct information. They suppress information

407
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 5: that it would be helpful for people to learn and understand.

408
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 5: And oh, wait a minute, I didn't realize that.

409
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

410
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: You know why you didn't realize that because they're telling

411
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 5: you that they don't want you to know, because they

412
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 5: want you to be all worked up and be misinformed

413
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 5: and be ignorant. That's that's how they want you to be,

414
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: and so that's why you don't vote Democrat.

415
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: Have atay, Thanks Tom, appreciate it. Yeah, and going back

416
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: to the local store. The lack of reporting on the

417
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: street takeover at Glen Way and Claes Warsaw. If you

418
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: don't talk about it, then it didn't happen, despite of

419
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: the fact there were hundreds of people actually involved in

420
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: the street taker, but they could talk about it, and

421
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: all the residents standing around videotaping it there it is

422
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: look nothing. So maybe there is some media complicity, a

423
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: complicity with the well the argument that came after the

424
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: survey out of downtown Cincinnati showing residents are dissatisfied with

425
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: the administration on things like road repairs and oh yeah, crime,

426
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: We need a better message. Maybe just not reporting on it.

427
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: If you don't read it, then it didn't happen. Five

428
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: point thirty six. Oh look there it is social media.

429
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: Don't care. See he talks stupid stories coming up? Were

430
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: your phone calls, which you know I love. Either way,

431
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: we'll be right back.

432
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC BE the talk station.

433
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: That's about five forty here. If you've got KRCD talk

434
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: station or if you're having a decent Monday anyway, Fred

435
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: eight two three talk found five fifty on EHT and

436
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: T phone and my submariner friend Mike Curbage. Mike just

437
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: reminded me that one of our regular callers, Bobby, always

438
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: likes to do an over and under on weekend shootings

439
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati. And you're right, Mike, uh, considering the

440
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: number of shooting between us Friday through Sunday evening, the

441
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: winner of the bet was the over to Bobby's predictions. Yeah.

442
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: Sadly that appears to be the case, all right. Yeah,

443
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: for those who like to travel, No, I'm not going

444
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: to talk about the TSA backlog, and I'm not going

445
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: to talk about the lines at airports. U what might

446
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: have happened in your hotel room? Some of the things

447
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: I've been brought I brought up before. My wife and

448
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't use the coffee makers at a hotel room,

449
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: and with good reason, don't really like to use anything

450
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: in a hotel room or I guess now airbnbs, although

451
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't recall ever renting. Oh no, we did rent

452
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: one out in San Francisco for a wedding, and I

453
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: don't even want to think about what might have happened

454
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: in that place anymore. But Florida, here we go. Sorry.

455
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Florida woman arrested after allegedly film herself urinating on and

456
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: destroying more than five thousand dollars worth of household items

457
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: at two Airbnb rentals, and then posting the video of

458
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: her urinating on these items to sex sites for the

459
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: purpose of making money.

460
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 6: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

461
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: Well, bear in mind, while the story is about her

462
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: antics sort of, the backstory is is probably even more disgusting, Like,

00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: release that officers were dispatched two o'clock in the morning

539
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Sunday to Hendrick Street. Carl reported that her and her

540
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: husband were being stabbed. When officer showed up, they encountered

541
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: the suspect, later identified as as Jason Whittaker, idiot exiting

542
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: the home with his hands up was taken into custody

543
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,080

544
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: One victim taken to the Franciscan Health in Crown Point

Speaker 1: and stable but critical conditions. Second victim found deceased. Gordon

546
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: the probable cause Affidavid. Incident started when Jason Whittaker's mom

547
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: asked him, not for the first time, to stop turning

548
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: off the furnace in the basement. His response was to

549
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: violently attack. Her mom told police she was on the

550
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: basement stairs when he struck her in the head with

551
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: a cast iron skillet before stabbing her multiple times. That

552
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: seems a natural reaction to an argument of her temperature,

553
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: doesn't sheoe. That's when his dad reportedly intervened on behalf

554
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: of his wife or l Whittaker's his name. His intervention

555
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: allowed his wife to escape up the stairs and make

556
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: that nine one one call. Jason Whittaker then stabbed his

557
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: father multiple times, ultimately killing him. Momb told investigators when

558
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: she looked back down the stairs, she saw Jason Whittaker

559
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: holding his father by the feet and dragging him along

560
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: the basement floor. Man pronounced dead at the scene. Death,

561
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,760

562
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: including multiple stab wounds and that fractured skull because well,

Speaker 1: he beat her over the head with a fry with

564
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: with the cast iron skillet. He was actually still holding

565
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: the blood knife when you let police through the front door,

566

Speaker 1: having a relationship that involved kissing and touching. Interview the

619
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: next day revealed that the team and his tea had

620
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: been texting for a couple of months, engaging in sexual

621
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 1: activity for what is described as a period of time.

622
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: Please obtain the voy's phone and found hundreds of phone

623
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: calls and again thousands of texts between the two, including

624
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: texts where the two professed their love for each other.

625
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: After her arrest, a booby fired from her teaching position.

626
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: Menta charge the gross sexual imposition and unlawful sexual conduct

627

Speaker 1: with a minor carry a maximum sentence eighteen months in prison.

628
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Seems like it should be more than that, doesn't it.

629
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: Court recommended a sentence of five years of community control,

630
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: continued counseling, surrender of her teaching license in community service.

631
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: As part of her plea deal, Dabooby most also register

632
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: as a sex offender. Okay, you dumb ass, Thank you, Joe.

633
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: That's a perfect exclamation points. We go into the six

634
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,560

00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: Love to hear from if you've got something you want

636
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: to talk about. Yes, and the war been the ripple

637
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: effects which are growing every moment in time. Lots going

00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: give you a call this morning. Two five went three,

643
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight

644
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: two three taco with pound five fifty on AT and

645
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: T phones coming up one hour from now. It's gonna

646
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: be great having him on the program. I always enjoy

647
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: hearing from FOP President ken Kober, But I'm just wildly

648
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: perplexed and sadly disappointed about, you know, basically going over

649
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: to my old neighborhood. We're right there at Glenway Avenue

650
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: in Clee's Warsaw big street takeover. I guess it happened

651
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: on Friday night and the Saturday morning. Couple one hundred teens,

652
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: but you know, donuts and all that kind of crap.

653
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: Apparently gunshots fired, multiple police vehicles deployed. I think was

654
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: I'd read someplace, someplace I read it wasn't any of

655
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: the local news. No, don't look today. I mean, go

656
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: ahead and look and just prove me wrong. I haven't

657
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: seen any reporting from Channel five nine to twelve or

658
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: the Inquirer on this one or Fox nineteen. Nothing, not

659
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: a thing. Just Joe and I was kind of scratching

660
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: our head, wondering if there's like local media collusion with

661
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: the leaders of the city of Cincinnati, just trying to

662
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing to see here because we didn't report on it,

663
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that social media has given

664
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: an avenue for all of us to be reporters. Anyhow,

665
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: just well, well, anyway, we're going to talk to him.

666
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: About that, but as well as the multiple shootings and

667
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: murders over the weekend. Just going through the headlines this morning,

668
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: Sunday a big day for shooting people in downtown Cincinnati,

669
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: so we got that going on. So it's a perfect

670
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to have Ken koberback on the program, and of

671
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: course segue to Christopher Smithman at seven to twenty. I

672
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: suspect he's gonna have a comment or two about the

673
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: violence in the city. Monday Monday with Brian James Today's topics.

674
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there it is right on top. How oil,

675
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: gas and electricity prices are affecting your budget and that

676
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: seems to be only going to get worse. Hate to

677
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: have to be the bearer of bad news, but remember,

678
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: at least as of right now, price of gas not

679
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: as bad as it was during the Biden administration. Well

680
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: that was COVID. Yeah, well, I'm going to say perhaps

681
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: not on that, And I guess I'm wondering where the

682
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: global Greta Thunbergs of the world are right now. We're

683
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: paying more for gasoline because well the supplies have been interrupted.

684
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: Of course, it's a global commodity. Isn't that a good thing?

685
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: Where are the people suggesting that this is See, this

686
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: is exactly why we need windmills and solar panels. We

687
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: can't rely on a steady supply of oil natural gas.

688
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine I went to high

689
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: school with is an Australian resident, and she was yelling

690
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: by not yelling at me, but sending me nasty Facebook

691
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: messages because well, Donald Trump started this global conflict and

692
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: Australia only has like a month or two worth of

693
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: reserve supplies of oil to keep their country going. I

694
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: was like, Mcministry Act and is you know this is

695
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: not something that you can unpackage in a couple of

696
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: Facebook instant messages. Is one of the reasons I hate

697
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: text so much. It's like, are you kidding me? You

698
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: expect me to engage in a substantive conversation over your

699
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: sort of out of nowhere attack against Donald Trump on

700
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: this amazingly layered complex issues. But what I was going

701
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: to do was gonna start with you know, listen, I

702
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: don't think it was a lawful war. I don't believe

703
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: he followed the appropriate constitutional obligation. You know, Congress is

704
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: supposed to declare war. Question whether they posed an immediate

705
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: threat those pesky Iranians that allowed us to launch a

706
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: unilateral attack invoking the War Powers resolution. Again, the clock

707
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: is ticking on that, so you have to go through

708
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: all that. So I'm of the position that initially I

709
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: don't think he had the authority to do this. Feel

710
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: free to argue amongst yourselves the genies out of the

711
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: bottle though we're in the middle of a conflict and

712
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: that kind of thing happens. What if the Iranians unilaterally

713
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: decided to close the Straight of Horror moves on the run,

714
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: which they could obviously have done it any moment in time.

715
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: They apparently have a lot of minds out there, and

716
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: the ability to deploy minds even after they've gotten the

717
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: crap blown out of them by the United States and

718
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: the Israeli forces over the past three or four weeks.

719
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: That could happen anytime. You think it's smart for your

720
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: country to only have thirty days worth of supply in

721
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: this ever changing, volatile world which we find ourselves. You're

722
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: the ones that pursued global warming as a theory or

723
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: a concept that you thought you should be dealing with.

724
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: You're the ones that tried to turn the spigot off.

725
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: I think they turned the spigot off of nuclear power

726
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: back in the late nineties. What point was that? Why

727
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: so you know that you only have thirty days or

728
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: a month supply left. I'm sorry, I guess you fall

729
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: into the category of sucks to be. You blame your

730
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: own people, your own elected officials, for chasing their tail

731
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: trying to rib the planet of carbon dioxide. I guess,

732
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: because apparently you still need that stuff to function as

733
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: a country. Hmm. But I think the sadder tragic part

734
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: of this is, as I mentioned the last hour, it

735
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: seems to be to be at least I can guess,

736
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: I can opine, I can well fear eyes from a

737
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: sphincter inspired thought that Iran is starting to chuck more

738
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: missiles out into the world in a desperate well on

739
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: an act of desperation, because of course, they're like the

740
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: caged animal or the cornered animal that realizes it is

741
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: going to die and is going to really pretty much

742
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: do anything last gasp of you know, effort and hopefully.

743
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: I think they're hoping that the rest of the world,

744
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: like my Australian friend, will react and side on make

745
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: inside with the Iranians as opposed to the United States

746
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: and Israel. That seems logical. A lot of folks in

747
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: the world that are not happy with this conflict. And

748
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: what's happening is a consequence of it. Right, the price

749
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: of oil has gone up, Global instability has resulted because

750
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: of a twenty mile stretch of water, and the Iranians

751
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: now talking about targeting desalination plants. And if you look

752
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: at how many people in the Arab world are relying

753
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: on desalination plants to get their fresh water, this could

754
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: be a I mean, epic catastrophic consequences. Some cave Mandani guy,

755
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: he's an Iranian scientist, and u UN officials said the

756
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: desalination plants across the region could be hit within the

757
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: next few days. He's an Iranian person. Right, this on

758
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: the heels of a direct response to Trump's seventy two

759
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: hour warning, right that the US would start hitting Iranian

760
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: power infrastructure unless the Strait of horror moves was open

761
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: forty two hours. I'm sorry, get in two days. That

762
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: was an announcement from yesterday. So TikTok on the clock

763
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: on that one. Right. Oh, if he's a redline guy,

764
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: I say you want to bud evil Orange man. If

765
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: he puts a deadline out there, he's usually pretty damn

766
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: good about making good on it. Oh my god, he's

767
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: just crazy enough to do it.

768
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 3: Yep.

769
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: So if we start hitting the Iranian power grid and

770
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: they're successful at hitting the desalination plants, I think millions

771
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: of people could potentially die on that one. Again, given

772
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: the number of desalination I always want to put an

773
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: extra syllbol in that damn word desalination plants. And of

774
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: course the hitting of the Iranian power infrastructure lights out

775
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: and iron well, that means the Iranians can't operate their

776
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: desalination plants. So that is a humanitarian target. And some

777
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: suggest that it is a violation of international law to

778
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: hit power grids or water infrat structure and things along

779
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: those lines. The civilians rely on those, and you can

780
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: think of all the innocent Iranians out there, and this

781
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: is a really complicating thing. What was Donald Trump hoping for? Well,

782
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: if we just right wipe out the Iranian power structure,

783
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: get rid of the evil Iotola and the ones surrounding him,

784
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: and those in the infrastructure, get rid of the crazy

785
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: Iranian police force. Basically the brown brown shirts of the

786
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: the iatola going around and murdering their own people. Then

787
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: the people will be able to rise up and conquer

788
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: whatever is left or reform a government in the aftermath.

789
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

790
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: If you shut off their power, and you well take

791
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: away a critical source of life, that is fresh, potable water,

792
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: how can they wage a struggle against in an effort

793
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: to rebuild. Wouldn't you suspect perhaps a logical response to

794
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: that might be anger toward the Americans and the Israelis.

795
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, they're fighting the evil regime, but

796
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: they also took away our power and our water. I

797
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: don't know that you make friends that way. I'm just

798
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: stream of consciousness this, folks, because you know, this whole

799
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: war has unfolded into a much much more complex reality

800
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: for the globe than I'm thinking even the Trump administration

801
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: might have even contemplated. And perhaps going back to my

802
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: part about congressional involvement, maybe these things could have been

803
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: flushed out a little bit more in the public. Maybe

804
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: these things were aware before it was all known to

805
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, before they started dropping bombs on Iran. Hey,

806
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: what about that straight of horror moves? What about this?

807
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: What about that. What about these shutting off a twenty

808
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: percent of the global supply of oil for some period

809
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: of time. Have you factored that into the equation on

810
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: whether you can sell the war to people generally speaking,

811
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: or if people can deal with the aftermath of that

812
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: and will suck up the gas prices for a while

813
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: until the conflict is over, hopefully sooner rather than later.

814
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: Short attention span theatero on that gasoline is considering how

815
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: much we were paying previously in the name of getting

816
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide out of the world. Nothing related to global conflict.

817
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: Just it's okay when the price goes up because of

818
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: what we do intentionally to ourselves. It's just a terrible

819
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: thing when it happens under the Trump administration or whatever.

820
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: You can make more sense of it, Feel free give

821
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: me a shout. Five one three seven four nine fifty

822
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two to three talk pound

823
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones big check it

824
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: is six twenty one right now, iffy five K see

825
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: me talk station. I'm very very happy on data and

826
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: make it so. Five one three seven four nine fifty

827
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: five hundred eight hunderd tight two three talk pound five

828
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: fifty on eight and t phones. Okay, here's a perplexing reality.

829
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: I know you probably know by now that Trump has

830
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: issued in ultimat I mean, Democrats, you better pass the

831
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: Save America Act. I'm not going to do anything until that.

832
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: I guess, including fun DHS. If they came to a

833
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: resolution today, that would fly in the face of Donald

834
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: Trump's claim he's not going to sign anything into law

835
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: until the Save America Acts passed. It's fine. I don't

836
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: think we should make any deal with the crazy country

837
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: destroying radical left Democrats in a lesson until the vote

838
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: with Republicans to pass to Save America Act said the

839
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: legislation far more important than anything else we are doing

840
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: in the Senate. So there's that. And remember why we

841
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: are currently in a shutdown, and I mentioned it previously.

842
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: We're still operating under the same laws enshrined decades ago.

843
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: I guess they preceded Bill Clinton insofar as who can

844
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: legally be here and who cannot legally be here, who's

845
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: subject to deportation and who's not. And they're arguing over

846
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: ICE actually doing its job. Yes, a little heavy handed

847
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: at time, we can all acknowledge. And of course, the

848
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: Trump administration has been backpedaling on the heavy handed nature.

849
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: They've kind of pulled folks out of Apolis. I guess

850
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: they got the job done there then they get pulled out.

851
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: But in any event, so some question about how heavy handed,

852
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, deport all illegal immigrants no longer the rallying,

853
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: Let's keep us focused on the criminal element. Nobody can

854
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: defend the criminal element, which some people suggest that's exactly

855
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: what the Democrats are doing. But again, all of this

856
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: is about laws that have been unchanged. Ice is not

857
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: doing anything that is inconsistent with the underlying laws. Just occasionally,

858
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: when you're out doing a very difficult job and you're

859
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: confronted with protesters, bad things can happen and maybe they

860
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: need a little more training or something, don't know. But

861
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: the laws are still in place. But that's not what

862
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats are arguing over. The Democrats are arguing about process.

863
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 3: But with that.

864
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: Also against the Save America Act, the photo ID requirement,

865
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: and it is you can't make this kind of stuff up.

866
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: This is really funny. So pivoting over to Connecticut. Yes,

867
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: it's a Democrat run state pretty heavily. So remember Democrats

868
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: are behind this anti Save Act thing. It's gonna just

869
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: enfranchise millions of people, right, just can't. When people make

870
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: that argument, can you just remind them that is not

871
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: legal for illegal immigrant or an immigrant who isn't a

872
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: citizen of the United States of America, otherwise a lawfully

873
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: naturalized citizen, you can't vote in federal elections period. It's

874
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: unlawful to do it. So if people are actually out

875
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: there doing it, even if it's ten that that proves

876
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: that it can be done. The Republicans are merely trying

877
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: to get a photo ID requirement in there so they

878
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: can't moving away. Connecticut Democrats just passed an anti fraud

879
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: law requiring bottle redemption centers to collect a copy of

880
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: a person's driver's license when they cash in more than

881
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: a thousand cans or bottles in one day. As a

882
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: consequence of an emergency certification. You got to hurry up

883
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: and do this. SB two ninety nine, introduced by Democratic

884
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: leaders and of course it's can. Of course, that's what

885
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: you get later past in both chambers late February, signed

886
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: by Democratic Governor Ed Lamont March third, requiring people who

887
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: wish to recycle aluminum cans for money to present a

888
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: copy of their driver's license put in place because the state.

889
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: Here we go, the state has issues with non residents

890
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: crossing its border to take advantage of the fact that

891
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: they pay ten cents a can instead of the five

892
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: cents and other states are paying. Wait a second, this

893
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: is border enforcement.

894
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 3: Isn't it.

895
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the photo ID requirements laughable enough for recycling, boy,

896
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: I guess recycling matters more than a federal election. But

897
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: the idea that it's for the purpose of keeping people

898
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: from outside non Connecticut residents from taking advantage of the

899
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: generous ten cent per can recycling fee gift that keeps

900
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: on giving Democrats insanity. Six twenty five AIRCD talk station.

901
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: I thought we got a couple of dollars online five

902
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: one three seven two three talk. Let's take West Saie, Jim, Jim,

903
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: I thought about you when I first saw the reporting

904
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: online but not in local news about the street takeover

905
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: right there one of your favorite places, right by price

906
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: El Chili and Heart Pharmacy at Glen Wayne Cleves, Warsaw.

907
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: Were you we participating in that one?

908
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: Jim?

909
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: Good here for me brother.

910
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 3: Sorry, Yeah, I was a twelve thirty night Brian. I

911
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 3: was up there right in the middle of it, playing

912
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 3: some music and doing some doughnuts.

913
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: Good making that use of the Mustang with those big

914
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: U big headers you got.

915
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 3: On that thing that and the soft tires.

916
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, no problem, got your summer stickies on already.

917
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 3: And hey, I've got a couple of questions though for you, Brian.

918
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 3: I you know, I got up a little bit late

919
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 3: this morning, so I don't know you might have already

920
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 3: mentioned these items. This supposedly happened around the twelve thirty hour.

921
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 3: Don't we have a curfew?

922
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah? And didn't we? It's only, isn't it only?

923
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 3: Though?

924
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: In certain places that the curfew applied only to like

925
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: some areas of downtown and over the Rhine. It was

926
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: sort of and of course it isn't enforced selective enforcement,

927
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: which generally means no enforcement at all. But I can't

928
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: definitively say whether the curfew applies at the intersection there

929
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 1: at glen Way and clues Warsaw.

930
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 3: And didn't we spend like four hundred thousand dollars for

931
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 3: four kids on that curfew?

932
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 7: I don't.

933
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what the implementation costs were. But considering

934
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: that very few if Eddie teens have actually been arrested

935
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 1: for curfew violation. Yeah, whatever math, whatever math can be done,

936
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure the return on investment was a miserable one.

937
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 3: Well. Being a frequent visitor of Prisol Chili yesterday, excuse me,

938
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 3: I did hear that people park their cars in there

939
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 3: at night after the restaurant closes that live in a

940
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 3: neighborhood because it's got an open parking lot, and here

941
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 3: because the parking is a little tough on the street.

942
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 3: So I understand that these utes were jumping all over

943
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 3: the cars, and I don't know how much damage they

944
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 3: did to them, but I understand that they were using

945
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 3: them as a I guess a trampoline or something. Simblin.

946
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 3: But my biggest question is has the city leaders put

947
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 3: out a gag order to the local media.

948
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: That's a good question. We were kind of speculating about

949
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: that in the five o'clock hour, because that's what I

950
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: opened with. Where in the hell's local reporting on a

951
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: blank and street takeover involving two hundred reported teams? And

952
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: I say reported only because it's local. It's citizen reporters

953
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: like yourself that are out there with video cameras that

954
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: tell in the world what's going on because five nine twelve,

955
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: Fox nineteen and the Cincinnati enquire Mama the subject at

956
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: least as of this morning. Nothing.

957
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

958
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 3: I looked all over for that too, couldn't find anything

959
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 3: except a picture that Corey Bowman actually sent me. Yeah,

960
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 3: and that was that's kind of frightening when you're driving

961
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 3: down Glenway Avenue if you were I'm a home to

962
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 3: a let's say, a party or something late at night

963
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 3: and watching them and watching basketball, for God's sakes, and

964
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, two hundred kids are down in

965
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 3: the middle of the street. Yeah, And I was just

966
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 3: kind of curious about that.

967
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: I remain curious Westside, Jim, I remain curious. They did

968
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: report on multiple gunshots and that occurred over the weekend,

969
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 1: but nothing about a massive street takeover by two hundred

970
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: plus teams.

971
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 3: And there was there was no report of gunshots there

972
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 3: except for that picture that came out. I know.

973
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: So it's just it's just not newsworthy, Jim, eat and

974
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: get the memo from the survey results from downtown Cincinna.

975
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: What we need is a different message. People are confused.

976
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: They think crime is a problem. Really isn't We need

977
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: better messaging from elected officials in the city of Cincinnati.

978
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: That's all it is, Jim. There was no street takeover.

979
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: According to the local news. It just didn't happen because

980
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: they didn't report on it.

981
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: Well maybe, Brian, since they did read Kid Sun Say

982
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 3: Avenue Sunday that day, they figured we got enough news

983
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 3: over here for a while.

984
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: They're done. That's after decades of waiting for it. You

985
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: finally got your roadary paved. We're packing it in. We're

986
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: gonna spend them more attention to the west side of

987
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati, right around the corner.

988
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 3: So well, anyway, that's my questions, Brian, I appreciate the time.

989
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: I share your questions. I'm asking out loud, does anybody

990
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: have any explanation for a while, how that could possibly

991
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: be a wonderfully crazy newsworthy event. As terrible as it was,

992
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: new event wasn't wonderful. But of all the things that

993
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: are justified or that can justify reporting on a local basis,

994
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 1: I would think two hundred teens with a street takeover

995
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: and gunshots fired might make the list. Anyway, someplace six

996
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: thirty five right now, if you have KRCD talk station,

997
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,520

Speaker 1: and come back. It's six thirty nine if you have

Speaker 1: CARCD talk station. Happy Monday. FOP President Ken cob Or

00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: just over the weekend. Ken Cobra seven oh five, follow

1006
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: the morning show. Hey, Mike called you out this morning,

1007
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: Bobby because you did the over under on shootings over

1008
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: the weekend, and he pointed out that the over's one

1009
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: on your prediction. Welcome back to the show.

1010
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 3: Sir, Faith Flag family. And I didn't get a stand

1011
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 3: down order of my friend.

1012
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: You didn't know, okay, who would issue a stand down

1013
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: order to you? Bobby?

1014
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think you'd do much much good, but

1015
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 3: you know there's somebody out there that at least try too.

1016
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: I'd acknowledge my wife probably has the standdown authority over me,

1017
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: and I would acknowledge that that's okay. I know where

1018
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: my bread is buttered, so to speak.

1019
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 3: You're a smart man, oh I am.

1020
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: Trust me, I'm the most self deprecating human being on

1021
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: the planet, except when it comes to my choice of

1022
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: spouses and my tenacity and refusing to accept her no

1023
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: when I asked her out for the first time. No

1024
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: was not the answer I wanted. So I went back

1025
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: to the well and tried two more times, third times

1026
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: a charm. And I've been living the uh uh, the

1027
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: the just thoroughly enjoying my life since that moment in time.

1028
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: I love you, hottie. I'm not an idiot.

1029
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 3: Hey, I got a question. Is it wins spring breaking Cincinnatio.

1030
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 3: Are they celebrating the last night that round up? Or

1031
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 3: what are they doing?

1032
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't even know what that means.

1033
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 3: Well, I got some hot news. It may not may

1034
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 3: not hit the press, but Donald Trump is going to

1035
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 3: put a bid in for Wall Street Journal. Why, I'll

1036
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 3: tell you'd like that.

1037
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: Don't mess with my favorite paper.

1038
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing too, And I thought about

1039
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 3: the Street takeover last night, and I can think of

1040
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 3: one reason why it's happening.

1041
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, they in Washington Park.

1042
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 3: They allocated a million and a half dollars has a

1043
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 3: skateboard thing? Are they on time and material? Now? Is

1044
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 3: it done? I mean, poor kids don't have anywhere to

1045
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 3: go skateboarding, you know what.

1046
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: I not the reason why we have a state street takeover,

1047
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: but I was questioning all morning and still question all

1048
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: morning why the local news didn't even bother reporting on it,

1049
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: because it was pretty horrendous. Marcia has the answer. She

1050
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: sent me an instant message this morning. They won't report

1051
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: because they can't blame Trump for that one, although I

1052
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: assure you they would try if they could. Even some

1053
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: batcrap And the same connection between evil Orange Man and

1054
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: the street take over there on Glenway, it's Donald Trump's fault.

1055
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 3: Well, I know, with spring break coming up and all

1056
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 3: the events this summer and everything, we're just gonna have

1057
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 3: to jack up the four and a half to hire

1058
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 3: because it's going to be hot street takeovers this summer.

1059
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 3: My friend, I don't think they can control it.

1060
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't either. Social media allize them all connect very

1061
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: quickly and easily, and I just you know, Bobby, what's

1062
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: behind the street taker? What's the point of it? Is

1063
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: it justice? Just to do it? I mean, is there

1064
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some I don't know what enjoyment or benefit you get

1065
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: from meeting there and just shutting down an entire area

1066
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: so you can what stand around and say you shut

1067
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: it down?

1068
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 3: The Partner of the Partner of Justice categorizes as in

1069
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 3: the theholistic violent extreme ason.

1070
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: Okay, exactly what it is. And then there's no goal

1071
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: or motivation behind it. Obviously they're not carrying placards or

1072
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: signs or protesting ice or whatever. They're just doing it

1073
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: for the sake of doing it.

1074
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 3: Yes, no no ideology, no religious or not being. It's

1075
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 3: just because they're out there.

1076
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 1: Huh.

1077
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 3: Neolistic violent extreme MV. That's exactly how they categorize it.

1078
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Now is this to suggest? And I understand the label,

1079
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: but question are they themselves nihilists? Are they disengaging in

1080
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: nihilists behavior even though they don't know what nihilism actually means.

1081
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 3: I think it's just a trigger effect. They they'd love

1082
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 3: to just be out there. Where are the parents at

1083
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 3: SOOS today? Why are they out there at twelve thirty

1084
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 3: at ninth? Where's the law enforcement? Where's our city council members?

1085
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Well, first and foremost, where are the parents or the

1086
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: guardians or whoever's supposed to be watching them because they

1087
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: are juveniles, their miners. They shouldn't be out of the

1088
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: middle of the night. Find they should be out in

1089
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: the middle of night, curfew or not. Curfews are created

1090
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: when parents aren't paying attention where their kids are and

1091
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: the kids go out and engage in violent behavior. So

1092
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: let me guess, Bobby, there's an element in here that

1093
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just overlooking, at least up until now when

1094
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: it popped into my head. Just the simple idea that

1095
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: lawlessness is gets a lot of clicks on social.

1096
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 3: Media, right, extremely correct.

1097
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, just going back to the stack of stupid story

1098
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Apparently videos of women urinating on property that's not theirs

1099
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: gets a lot of clicks and earns these crazy people

1100
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Okay, a few illustrations that do

1101
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: you evolution to society going on right here in the

1102
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show. Maybe you can come up

1103
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: with your own illustration five one three seven fifty hundred

1104
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.

1105
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: JAYZ Louise, feel like I'm rudderless this morning, but I'm

1106
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: not readdless when I'm telling you fastened pro roofing. Are

1107
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: the experts you should contact again to take the six

1108
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: forty nine coming up at six fifty fifty above ker

1109
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: CD Talk stage FOK President Ken Kober. They'll join the

1110
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: program at top of the hour. Now it's crazy and

1111
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: it's going on in around downtown Cincinnati. Of course, I

1112
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: hope you don't have to fly. They'll TSA backup so

1113
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: ICE agents may show up today and handle the uh well,

1114
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: all the TSA agents who quit the job or otherwise

1115
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: aren't showing up. And the lack of funding that's the

1116
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Democrats issue. They're wed to it. They don't want to

1117
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: fund TSA and we're all living the pain as a

1118
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: consequence of that. The economic reality I wish I heard

1119
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: be the aviation expert Jay Rattle was around to calculate

1120
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: somehow of the economic impact on the airlines you weep

1121
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: if you will or not for the airlines, but of

1122
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: course the ripple effect for the economy as well. Spring

1123
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: break travelers anger upset three plus hour weights airlines and

1124
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: airports being shut down. This is incidental to the Laguardi Airport,

1125
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: which is shut down because of a collision on the

1126
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: on the tarmac there overnight. But I don't quite understand it.

1127
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, in the background of all of this, why

1128
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: do we have TSA agents? Oh, that's right. Nine to eleven, Hey, Joe,

1129
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: wasn't nine to eleven in a terrorist attack involving the

1130
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: takeover of airplanes and flying them into buildings and into

1131
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the ground, And you thought it was now inside job.

1132
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: I didn't get the memo on that one, but regardless

1133
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: of the genesis of it, involved taking over airplanes and

1134
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: apparently a need to ratchet up security because people were

1135
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: bringing dangerous items like shoe bombs on airplanes. So you

1136
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: have TSA. And now we're in the middle of a

1137
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: fight and war shooting war with Iran, the world's largest

1138
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: state sponsor of terrorists. Right, and it was just yesterday.

1139
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: The US Department of State has issued a worldwide security

1140
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: alert to be wary of threats from Iran linked groups.

1141
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Cord to the State Department released, the Department of State

1142
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: advisors Americans worldwide that would be US included, by the way,

1143
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution.

1144
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issue

1145
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: by the nearest US embassy or consulate periodic airspace closures

1146
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: may cause travel disruptions. US diplomatic facilities, including outside of

1147
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: the Middle East, have been targeted. Groups supportive of Iran

1148
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: may target other US interests overseas or locations associated with

1149
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: the with the United States and or Americans throughout the world.

1150
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: They'll be you and me. This on the heels of

1151
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: Iranian military spokesman General abol Fazil Shikarichi. That's close enough.

1152
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: That's the only effort I'm going to put into that.

1153
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: And over there, Abdul or Abola Fasil is probably mispronouncing

1154
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: my name to the stud he's on on his radar. Anyway.

1155
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: He issued a chilling threat Friday, warning Tehran that terrorists

1156
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: will now be targeting popular tourism havens as US and

1157
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Israel continued to attacks against Iran. That sounds me very loose.

1158
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: It could happen anywhere, could happen here, It could happen

1159
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: on an airplane, and I sure as hell don't want

1160
01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: anything like that to happen. But if you're a Democrat

1161
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and you're sticking to your guns over the government shutdown,

1162
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: which relates to ice enforcing again laws that have been

1163
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: on the books for decades, laws that were enforced under

1164
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: various presidential administrations, Democrat and Republican and whatever George Bush was,

1165
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: they all were enforcing the same law. And remember Obama

1166
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: was the deporter in chief, He's the He deported far

1167
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: more than Donald Trump has to date. So we're fighting

1168
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 1: over ice tactics. And again, if something terrible were to

1169
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 1: happen as a consequence of an airplane being taken over

1170
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: or some terrorist bomb making it on an airplane because

1171
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: the TSA wasn't there for want of TSA agents over

1172
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: an immigration enforcement question, one of them may be successful.

1173
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,919
Speaker 1: And if you were in that position and you shut

1174
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: the entire well, the good chuck of government down. I

1175
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: know DHS is just a portion of government, but considering

1176
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: the critical TSA component that's going on in here, you

1177
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: sleep yourself at night assuming you can make that causal

1178
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: connection between this hypothetical terrorist attack using an airplane and

1179
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: the lack of a TSA agent there, Things are a

1180
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: bit chaotic at the airports right now. I wouldn't want

1181
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: that blow on my hands. Nope, not at all. But

1182
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: this is where we find ourselves today, all right, real quick,

1183
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,520

01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,759
Speaker 1: the elected officials after the survey came out from residents

1224
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 8: As soon as you saw the forecast, just figured that

1225
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 8: this was going to be exactly what it was.

1226
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: And isn't it a sad thing that you can just

1227
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: pick as soon as the temperature gets more and people

1228
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: are gonna get all murdery out there. What are they

1229
01:09:58,160 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: waiting around for the temperatures and warm ups they can

1230
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: go make good on their threats or whatever. I just

1231
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: don't get this.

1232
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 3: I am.

1233
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: I just tell you, brother, I am just quite frustrated

1234
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: this morning with everything's going on in the world. It's

1235
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: like it feels like I'm overwhelmed, but this violence is inexcusable,

1236
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: and I'm want to pivot over to the whole street

1237
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: takeover that took place on Glen WAYN in Clee's Warsaw.

1238
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: Are you aware of that, because if you look at

1239
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: local news reporting, you wouldn't even know what happened.

1240
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 3: Ken, Yeah, you know.

1241
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 8: Unfortunately, and this has become the reoccurring theme with these juveniles.

1242
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 8: Either you get a one hundred or two hundred juveniles

1243
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 8: together in one place for no other reason than to

1244
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 8: just to create chaos, you know, and what ends up

1245
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 8: happening with this and thankfully it didn't happen this time,

1246
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 8: where you know, shots are being fired and before you know,

1247
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 8: some kids are shot and then parents are wondering.

1248
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, how did this happen? Well, it happened

1249
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 3: because you don't know where your kids are.

1250
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 8: Yes, you let them run around, You let them just

1251
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 8: create chaos until they get in the middle of such

1252
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:57,560
Speaker 8: a chaotic situation that somebody gets hurt seriously, and we

1253
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,759
Speaker 8: see it. You know, typically it happened out at the banks.

1254
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 8: You know, they'll they'll drop off two hundred kids done

1255
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 8: at small park at eleven o'clock at night. And it's

1256
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 8: the parents that are dropping these kids off. Oh really,

1257
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 8: it's not like they don't know what's going on. You know,

1258
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 8: a lot of these are young kids, twelve, thirteen, fourteen

1259
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 8: years old, and it's just something that you know, until

1260
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 8: these parents decide that they're going to be parents, this

1261
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 8: is going to be the reoccurring theme all summer, oh.

1262
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: And on into the future. Then I think we'll have

1263
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more We're worry about the society into

1264
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: the future than just this summer. Although that's the immediate

1265
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: threat right now. I was unaware that parents were dropping

1266
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,560
Speaker 1: their young people off at these events. That that's a

1267
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: new one on me.

1268
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 3: Ken. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a shame that we

1269
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 3: see these things happen, but but we see at any

1270
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 3: time there's a big event, they said summertime comes, it's

1271
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 3: it'll be worse when summer gets here with kids, And

1272
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 3: the fact that it's happening now in March is very,

1273
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 3: very troubling, and you know, I just cringe at the

1274
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 3: thought of what the summer is going to look like.

1275
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Well, and that it sounds like a bold statement. You're

1276
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: very definitive on that it is going to get worse,

1277
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: not sort of, it might get worse, so we need

1278
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: to worry about it getting worse. You're just convinced that

1279
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 1: it's going to which isn't a great marketing effort for

1280
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati because they have these events all

1281
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: the time where people get together, you know, concerts, boarding events,

1282
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of summertime activities that go on.

1283
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: I think of I mean going even into october Fest

1284
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: and the fall everything. There's so many big events like this,

1285
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: and if we are guaranteed that this kind of thing

1286
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 1: is going to happen, I imagine quite a few people

1287
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 1: will decide, you know what, I'm not going to go

1288
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: down there. It's not worth it.

1289
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, very well could happen. But I mean,

1290
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 8: you look at the consequences that the police have for

1291
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 8: these kids. If it's only curfew, Well you have to

1292
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 8: take them to a curfew center and they'll get them

1293
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 8: some snacks, and they'll find out where their parents live

1294
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 8: and they take them home. Those are the consequences right

1295
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 8: now for kids being you know, out after curfew, you know,

1296
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 8: engaging in.

1297
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 3: This kind of behavior.

1298
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 8: But it's it's what the city's created, it's what they want,

1299
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 8: and the city is certainly delivering on their promise to

1300
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 8: make sure that we don't do anything to these kids.

1301
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 8: And the end result is these kids are going to

1302
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 8: get worse and worse.

1303
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, once they kicked the punishment phase out of

1304
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement, they took all the wind own of the sales.

1305
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: There's no longer an incentive to not break the law,

1306
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: I guess. And with so, I think social media is

1307
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: part of the problem here, Ken, because apparently videos go

1308
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: viral when you're out getting together with one hundred of

1309
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 1: your friends and you're committing criminal acts. That's the kind

1310
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 1: of thing people like to click on, and they all

1311
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: think themselves sort of social media influencers because you know,

1312
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 1: one hundred people or one hundred thousand people decided to

1313
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: click on their crazy video documenting their criminal activity. We've

1314
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: just fallen off the map.

1315
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 8: Man, Yeah, yeah, And like I said, I mean you

1316
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 8: look at some of these events us of one hundred

1317
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 8: two hundred kids, the amount of resources that it takes

1318
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 8: to corral these kids up and to calm this down.

1319
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 8: And meanwhile that's going on, you know the next namebor over,

1320
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 8: you know, somebody's being shot.

1321
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1322
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 3: So instead of the police actually focusing on, you know,

1323
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 3: working on you know, try to get violent, can you

1324
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 3: know these violence under control? You know they're being pulled

1325
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 3: away because you get two hundred kids that are getting

1326
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 3: together acting just silly.

1327
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: Well, let's move aside from just being silly to something

1328
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: far more, potentially, far more nefarious. Can we all hear

1329
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: about the idea that terrorists, if they commit a terrorist act,

1330
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: for example, they'll use a diversionary tactic to draw police

1331
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: away from the area where their terrorist activity is going

1332
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: to concern. So they're all busy, let's say, dealing with

1333
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: a street takeover involving two hundred teams, then elsewhere because

1334
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: the short resources police have, we're understaffed by how many

1335
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 1: officers still Ken Cober, and.

1336
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 3: We're down about one hundred right now.

1337
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 1: Okay, you got a hundred fewer offices we would have

1338
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: under a normal contingent, which may not even be sufficient

1339
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: to deal with the criminal challenges that the city faces.

1340
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,799
Speaker 1: They're busy with two hundred punks and a street takeover,

1341
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 1: and then something really nefarious happens across town. Coordinated perhaps,

1342
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it seems to me that with

1343
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: social media, it's really easy to get a a bunch

1344
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: of teenagers together just by one person perhaps coming out

1345
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: and suggesting it, Hey, we're all going to meet over

1346
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: at glen Wyn Clee's warsaw and take over the street tonight.

1347
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: I suppose some terrorist, nefarious actor could suggest that and

1348
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: make it happen in order to bring about something more

1349
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: devastating elsewhere just saying.

1350
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 3: No, no, you're absolutely right. You know, whether that's these kids'

1351
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 3: intentions or not, it's a real threat that could happen,

1352
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 3: or you know, see somebody that even sees that this

1353
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 3: is going to occur now and coordinated it. But take

1354
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 3: advantage the fact that this is occurring and the police

1355
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 3: resource are going to be here, So I'm.

1356
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 8: Going to do whatever I'm going to do on the

1357
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 8: other side of town. You're absolute right. It's a real

1358
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 8: threat and these kids go. I don't think they really

1359
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 8: think about these things when they do it. But that's

1360
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 8: where parents are supposed to step in and be parents,

1361
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 8: know where their kids are to prevent some of these

1362
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 8: things from happening.

1363
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Oh for one of parents out there that actually cares.

1364
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: You pointed out the outset and now this curfew. Someone

1365
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: west side, Jim Keefer, brought up the idea that these

1366
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: kids were violet curfew. Is there a curfew that applies

1367
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: to that Glen Way Cleves Warsaw area or is that

1368
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: only in areas like the banks downtown. I'm a little

1369
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: confused on that one, Ken Cover.

1370
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 8: No, I mean there is a curfew that's that's city

1371
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 8: wide for kids that are under eighteen. But the factor

1372
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 8: remains is if they're just gathered there and they are

1373
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 8: the sole thing that they're doing is violating curfew, the

1374
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 8: police are not allowed to take them to jail. They

1375
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 8: have to take them to one of these curfew centers.

1376
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 8: Like I said, we'll get them, We'll get them some

1377
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,719
Speaker 8: chips and a drink, and you know, by two o'clock

1378
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 8: in the morning, hopefully we know where their parents are

1379
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 8: and then we can drop them off there. It just

1380
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 8: takes that, like I said, the punishment element out of

1381
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 8: all this. So kids have no fear of getting stopped

1382
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 8: for curfew. It's like a whatever, I understand, give me

1383
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 8: back to my parents. I'll get a ride home. Yeah

1384
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 8: this is actually great. I get stopped by the police,

1385
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 8: I get a free ride home.

1386
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: Good point. But you say the police are not allowed

1387
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 1: to haul them into in process them for crime violation

1388
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: of the or for a violation of the curfew. Is

1389
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 1: that a policy or is the Is the law the

1390
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 1: curfew law toothless just on its face? In other words,

1391
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,719
Speaker 1: if there wasn't this police are not allowed policy in place,

1392
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: could the kids actually face some sort of repercussions at

1393
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: least theoretically. I understand how lenient the judges are, but theoretically,

1394
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: if the judges were stronger on crime, could these kids

1395
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: face some repercussions?

1396
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 8: They could because the laws haven't changed. The policy is

1397
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 8: what's changed. That's that's the part. Is the policy has changed,

1398
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 8: not the law. So yeah, I mean, the twenty twenty

1399
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 8: juvenile justice system has said we're not taking these kids

1400
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,759
Speaker 8: if it's curfew only we're not taking them, so figure

1401
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 8: it out. I mean, you can have a policeman that

1402
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 8: could show up there and they just we're not taking them.

1403
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 8: Good find their parents and just refuse them altogether. And

1404
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 8: that's that's why we're in the situation we're in with

1405
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 8: these kids in this county.

1406
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,839
Speaker 1: Fact So the law says you can process them criminally,

1407
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: and the policy in the practice is no, we won't

1408
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: do that. Can I ask you, is there a name

1409
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: behind the person behind the policy, Like, is it Sheryl Long,

1410
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: is it Iris Rowley? Is it the police chief or

1411
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: the interim police chief? As an occurrence, I mean, where

1412
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: did this idea of criminal justice come from? Since the

1413
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: curfew law itself has not changed.

1414
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 8: Ken, Well, these are policies that have been set by

1415
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 8: city hall, whether it's the Council of the city manager.

1416
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,680
Speaker 8: They're the ones that determine that this is what we're

1417
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 8: going to do.

1418
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: And if the chief does not abide and continues to

1419
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: pursue it as the law is written, then I suppose

1420
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: the chief faces removal from office.

1421
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 8: Exactly.

1422
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 1: Well, maybe we figured out what happened to police Chief

1423
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Diji Ken. I don't know, Ken, Cobert, you have a

1424
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: difficult job on your hands. I really appreciate you coming

1425
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: on the Borning Show and talking to my listeners to

1426
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: me about this, and we're left with a sad reality.

1427
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: I think that's all we can take away from this one.

1428
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,879
Speaker 1: The policy, there's no accountability, and therefore there's no incentive

1429
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 1: for parents to take care of what their children are doing,

1430
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,520
Speaker 1: or for the kids even care about about the aftermath.

1431
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: And two guess local news isn't interested in even reporting

1432
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: on a massive street takeover.

1433
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 3: No, you're absolutely right, And that's that's the hard part is,

1434
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 3: you know, between all the shootings that occurred, they're trying

1435
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 3: to trying to fit how do we how do we

1436
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 3: fit a story about two hundred kids, you know, running around,

1437
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 3: jumping on cars and acting foolish and answers. I guess

1438
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 3: if we've got to prioritize violence, I guess, I guess.

1439
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 3: See the multiple shootings that occurred is what's gonna going

1440
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 3: to get the attention, Not these kids.

1441
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the story about the gunshot wounded the head and

1442
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: over the rhine, That story about the fifteen year old

1443
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,679
Speaker 1: boy killed in North Avenue, the person hospitalizing a shooting,

1444
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: lower price Hill just print those. You know. The The

1445
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: problem is, ken I think you know it. The kids

1446
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 1: that are involved in street takeovers and being generally lawless

1447
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: and h you said, to create chaos. Those kids ultimately

1448
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 1: become the people behind the triggers in these other instances.

1449
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 8: Oh with out of doubt, you know, they dit their

1450
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,599
Speaker 8: toe in the water, you know, and breaking the law

1451
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 8: by doing silly stuff like this, you know, and then

1452
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,719
Speaker 8: of course it escalates further and further and further until

1453
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 8: of course they're the one that's involved in gun violence,

1454
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 8: whether it's behind the behind a gun or the one

1455
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 8: actually being shot.

1456
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: Well on behalf of all my listeners, my executive producer

1457
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: Joe Strekker, and myself, we truly appreciate the since a

1458
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: police department of the work that they're doing in spite

1459
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: of the policies that you have to follow. As bad

1460
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 1: as it is for our society generally speaking, we all

1461
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: know where the blame is. And you know what, in fact,

1462
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: things like this I think are going to boost the

1463
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: demand for police and the need for more police in neighborhoods.

1464
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll boost the cooperation between the citizenry and the

1465
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: police department so we can catch the bad guys. I

1466
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: don't know though, with parents dropping their children off for

1467
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: these crazy activities, we may have been we're just maybe

1468
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: maybe the horses escape the barn and it's too late.

1469
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ken Kober, You're always welcome here in

Speaker 3: or they're in their home drinking, drinking their coffee. Let

1495
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,600
Speaker 3: me just go through a few incidents this weekend in Cincinnati,

1496
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 3: Hawaiian Terrace, a twelve year old who was shot in

1497

Speaker 3: the twelve year old was shot in the stomach. Before

1502
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 3: I can go on to the other incident, I just

1503
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 3: want everybody to think what that does to that twelve

1504
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 3: year old's life, What that does to that family. They're

1505
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 3: doing what they're supposed to do. They're at home, they

1506
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 3: know where their child is. Briton Thomas, He's sitting right

1507

Speaker 3: in front of me. He's not in the street. It's

1508
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 3: like the eleven year old who was shot on the

1509
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 3: playground in the West End. That we hear Corey Bowman

Speaker 3: just after seven thirty pm, twenty one hundred block Saint

1533
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 3: Michael's Street officers arrived to location located a man on

1534
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:54,799
Speaker 3: the scene had suffered gunshot wounds. Two people remain at large.

1535
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 3: The bottom line here is this was one heck of

1536
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 3: a weekend between Saturday and Sunday, and you and I

1537
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 3: haven't even talked, yeah about the takeover in Price Hill,

1538
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 3: which I'm going to talk about, I.

1539
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: Figure, and with the warning about from ken Cover that

1540
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: it's only going to get worse, not maybe it's going

1541
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:18,799
Speaker 1: to get.

1542
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 3: Going to get worse. So I just want to set

1543
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 3: up my spleening event when we come back after the break.

1544
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 3: But we have to have the context for your listening audience,

1545
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:33,759
Speaker 3: because the news isn't reporting what I'm seeing and sounds

1546
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:38,480
Speaker 3: like Gossam City. We have moved like Chicago in Cincinnati,

1547
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 3: and the underreporting from our news reporters out there. I'm

1548
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 3: talking about all the stations collectively, right, is really a

1549
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 3: valid when.

1550
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm ey couldn't agree with you more. You certainly have

1551
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 1: laid the foundation. Well, let Christopher unleash the smith event

1552
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 1: coming after after the timing on this one couldn't be better, Yes,

1553
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: it may be. Fifty five carc Detalk Station Brian Thomas

1554
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: and Christopher Smithman regular segment here on the fifty five

1555
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: krsee morning show one that you can find on the

1556
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 1: podcast page fifty five CARCA dot com. Christoph, you laid

1557
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 1: the foundation. We got a lot of violence over the

1558
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 1: weekend in downtown Cincinnati, some of which was reported, some

1559
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: of which was not setting you up for the spleenevent

1560
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:18,959
Speaker 1: have out of my friend.

1561
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 3: Look man. The takeover of teenagers in Price Hill completely unacceptable.

1562
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 3: The number of officers that had to be dispatched to

1563
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 3: deal with that and to have the news not even reported.

1564
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 3: It's just on the borderline of negligence but complete insanity.

1565
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 3: And these youths up there were fighting, They're jumping on vehicles.

1566
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 3: It was complete chaos in that area and it's terrifying.

1567
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 3: Our communities are one of our fifty two neighborhoods and

1568
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 3: to act as if we don't. We have to have

1569
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 3: a citizen like Jim Keeper who's bringing this to our attention.

1570
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 3: There's something they have because he lives there. This is

1571
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 3: his neighborhood. He's saying, this is what's happening in my neighborhood,

1572
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 3: but I can't find it anywhere to be read. Look,

1573
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 3: white liberals, I want you to hear this. I'm going

1574
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 3: to be so pointed. White liberals who are living in

1575
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 3: the safety of their neighborhoods, who think they can tell me,

1576
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 3: a black man, what is best for my community. They

1577
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 3: need to sit down and shut up. I am so

1578
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 3: sick of hearing them run their mouths trying to lecture

1579
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 3: people like me about what is in the best interest

1580
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 3: of the Black American communities. Our communities are living and

1581
01:27:55,120 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 3: the super majority of our families are law abiding CITs

1582
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 3: innizens who are getting up every day to go to work,

1583
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 3: and we are sick and tired of seeing our baby

1584
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 3: slaughtered every single weekend with no response from this incompetent mayor,

1585
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 3: this incompetent council, this incompetent administration. They're giving out evaluations

1586
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 3: and saying that people are doing a great job while

1587
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 3: our babies are being slaughtered in their homes, shot in

1588
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 3: their stomach, shot in their heads. You can't even drive

1589
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 3: down Reading Road and go by our recreation centers without

1590
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 3: the fear of being shot in the street as you're

1591
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 3: just trying to go to the University of Cincinnati to

1592
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 3: do your job. I am sick and tired of these

1593
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 3: white liberals who are voting and acting as if this

1594
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 3: chaos is not happening in our community and thinking that

1595
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 3: we can just open up a w rec center in

1596
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 3: the middle of the afternoon and it's going to save somebody.

1597
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 3: We need law enforcement intervention now, that's what needs to

1598
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 3: happen in Cincinnati. And if I am not blaming our

1599
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Police Department, I went President Kim kob to understand

1600
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 3: that this is not on his legs, here on his lap.

1601
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 3: But if I have to write the federal government, if

1602
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:27,720
Speaker 3: I have to write the state and ask them to

1603
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 3: bring in the National Guards because we can't stop the

1604
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,600
Speaker 3: blood and murders in our streets, I will begin to

1605
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 3: do it personally.

1606
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Well. And here Ken the police are just following policies,

1607
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: notably when it comes to the teens and the enforcement

1608
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 1: of the curfew. They're not allowed to enforce the curfew

1609
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 1: by under the definition of the law, which carries with

1610
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 1: it some criminal penalties. They're not allowed. Their hands have

1611
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: been tied by the city administration. And of course takes

1612
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: step two if you got rid of the policy from

1613
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 1: the city that is forcing the police to well not

1614
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,519
Speaker 1: deal with them on a criminal level, but just pat

1615
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: them on the back and send them home with mom

1616
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: and dad with a cookie and a glass of juice.

1617
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 1: Even if they were allowed to process them and ticket

1618
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: them and take them in and process them for criminal prosecution,

1619
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:18,720
Speaker 1: we know the prosecutor's office wouldn't bother and if they

1620
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:20,559
Speaker 1: got in front of a judge, the judge would probably

1621
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: chuck it out anyway.

1622
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 3: But what I'm tired of, Brian Thomas, are the white liberals,

1623
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 3: oh yeah, who are living in our neighborhoods, in safe environments,

1624
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 3: tucked away in Hyde Park and Mount Lookout Over in

1625
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 3: the North Side, you know, getting together and talking about

1626
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 3: these issues as if they know what the heck is

1627
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 3: going on for a single black American trying to raise

1628
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 3: a child and go to work. At the same time,

1629
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 3: we are frustrated about the lack of law enforcement response.

1630
01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 3: Our first line of defense, Brian Thomas, is law enforcement,

1631
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 3: and they are being castrated by this mayor and this council.

1632
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 3: We are living in Gossam City in many of our pockets,

1633
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 3: and it's just a small group of African Americans right

1634
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 3: who are acting out this criminal behavior that if we

1635
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 3: allowed our police to do their job, they clean it up.

1636
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 3: That is why I'm staying publicly on your station. If

1637
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 3: I have to write the federal government, if I have

1638
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 3: to write the state before we get to this violent

1639
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:39,720
Speaker 3: summer and ask them for intervention, It's exactly what I'm

1640
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 3: going to do. I'm not going to sit back and

1641
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 3: continue to see young black families like the twelve year

1642
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,560
Speaker 3: olds we start in the stomach in his home. For

1643
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,640
Speaker 3: him to live in that terror and us not have

1644
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 3: some type of response. He deserves better. The young girl

1645
01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:58,600
Speaker 3: e eleven year old in the West End who was

1646
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 3: murdered on the playground, she deserved better.

1647
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Yep, I was waiting for that one too. Pause, we're

1648
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: and Christopher back. Let get the rest of his spleen

1649
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: vent out this morning. First, I want to mention my

1650
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: friends at Galaxy Concrete Coatings Station seven one fifty five

1651
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 1: PARASG Talk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman. We get

1652
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: the benefit of Christopher Smithment every Monday between seven and

1653
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty and the close of the seven o'clock hour, after

1654
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 1: which we're gonna get money money Brian James, who will

1655
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 1: talk about oil, gas and electricity prices of impacting your budget.

1656
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Chocking no on Christopher Smithman. You have the floorback.

1657
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 3: Look, Brian, I've been listening on the federal level people

1658
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:41,640
Speaker 3: talk about Jim Crow two point zero, and I'm going

1659
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 3: to tie together the violence that I just spoke about

1660
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 3: and this subject matter. You have people like Senator Schumer,

1661
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 3: a Democrat, who continues to pimp out the black vote

1662
01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 3: by trying to emotionally charge us that having an ID

1663
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 3: on its face is racist. It is not racist to

1664
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 3: require someone who is voting in our election to produce identification.

1665
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 3: You're also trying to say that African Americans are stupid,

1666
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 3: that we don't walk around every day with an ID

1667
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 3: the function in our society. So I don't know what

1668
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 3: these people are talking about, but I can share with you.

1669
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 3: I don't know of anybody in my circle, and I

1670
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 3: have a pretty broad circle that thinks it's a problem

1671
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:41,080
Speaker 3: to have an ID, But look how they spend the

1672
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:45,560
Speaker 3: time talking about that. But when I talk about the

1673
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:50,640
Speaker 3: violence that it's happening in the urban core, where our

1674
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 3: most talented Black American youth who have nothing to do

1675
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:00,599
Speaker 3: with this violence are being shot in their homes, are

1676
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 3: being shot at the bus stop, are being shot on

1677
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 3: the street. Nine people shot at a function at a party, right,

1678
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 3: and a fifty thousand dollars bond given to someone who

1679
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 3: shot nine people in a mass shooting. And then the

1680
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 3: next day or the next weekend, you have a fight

1681
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 3: at another function. But you hear no voice to this. Right,

1682
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:28,680
Speaker 3: the leadership has you distracted about things about voter identification

1683
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 3: that are not racist. The policies that are racist. Are

1684
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 3: acting as if you care about Black Americans' lives. But

1685
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,560
Speaker 3: when it comes to providing safety and law enforcement, you

1686
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 3: have Ken Kober telling us where a one hundred officers down.

1687
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 3: Who do you think that's going to impact? You think

1688
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 3: that's going to impact Hyde Park, you think that's going

1689
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 3: to impact Maw Lookout. Do you think that's going to

1690
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 3: impact north Side or do you think are Clifton do

1691
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:00,720
Speaker 3: you or do you think that's going to end places

1692
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 3: like Avondale Right. The reality of it is that African

1693
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 3: Americans in Cincinnati deserve to be safe and go to school.

1694
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 3: We deserve to have school choice. Our children are locked

1695
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:18,720
Speaker 3: into these environments, and they deserve an opportunity to go

1696
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 3: to Saint X if they want to, if they want

1697
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 3: to go to Elder if they want to, if they

1698
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 3: want to send their daughter to Seatan if they want to,

1699
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:31,600
Speaker 3: as examples are Ursula. They deserve the same types of

1700
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 3: opportunities that my family, an upper middle class family, deserves.

1701
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 3: My ability to pay for my daughter not to go

1702
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 3: to one of these schools that are failing. The reality

1703
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:47,760
Speaker 3: is I can afford to buy her way out of

1704
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 3: the craziness. But there's so many families that don't have

1705
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 3: the same opportunity to do this. And I'm tired of

1706
01:35:56,400 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 3: Democrats trying to distract us and have converse stations about

1707
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,639
Speaker 3: Jim Crow two point zero and voter IDs as if

1708
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 3: we're stupid in the African American community and we're not

1709
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 3: walking around with IDs. But when we ask them about

1710
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:15,560
Speaker 3: school choice or having the right number of officers to

1711
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,960
Speaker 3: keep our baby safe, they won't say anything to it.

1712
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 3: What we do is We'll fund an Irish Roley at

1713
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 3: six hundred and fifty thousand dollars who I don't know

1714
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,759
Speaker 3: what she's doing, but will leave out a Hope Dudley,

1715
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 3: who is phenomenal. If we gave her six hundred and

1716
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars, we would have a better response to

1717
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 3: what's happening in the violence. I am sick and tired

1718
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:43,760
Speaker 3: of the elevation of the wrong leadership, Brian Thomas, when

1719
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 3: it's so easy to find the right leadership in our

1720
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 3: community to make it safe and better. Shame on the mayor,

1721
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:55,480
Speaker 3: Shame on all nine members of council. Shame on this administration.

1722
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,599
Speaker 3: We just came out of another bloody weekend. You've heard

1723
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 3: Ken Cover, the president of the elfem P, said he's

1724
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 3: looking for unfortunately more of this as the weather gets bad.

1725
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,600
Speaker 3: Shame on all of them. They will never hold a

1726
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 3: press conference community and they will just pip out the

1727
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:16,160
Speaker 3: black vote for more Democratic votes as we go into

1728
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 3: the May primary and as we go into the general election.

1729
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 3: And I'm sick of it.

1730
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:22,479
Speaker 1: Well I know, and I can hear it in your voice,

1731
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:24,560
Speaker 1: and you and I've had any conversations about it. My

1732
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 1: friend I hear it, you know, and I got to

1733
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 1: make make a comment really quickly because last time I checked,

1734
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,919
Speaker 1: you didn't get the benefit of so called white privilege

1735
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: growing up. You are a black man who did grow

1736
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 1: up in the city. Since now you did quite well

1737
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,040
Speaker 1: by yourself. You mentioned you're doing very well in terms

1738
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: of your economic your ability to put your daughter and

1739
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 1: your other children through schools of your choice. Christopher, I

1740
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,640
Speaker 1: want to just make a just a shout out to

1741
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 1: your late father and your mother for instilling you important

1742
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: values for themselves being individually successful in their own right

1743
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 1: in spite of the challenges that they face, which were

1744
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,479
Speaker 1: far more significant than any challenge a black person facing

1745
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 1: today's society. The benefit of having great parents who cared

1746
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:07,439
Speaker 1: about raising their children. To all those parents who would

1747
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:10,719
Speaker 1: drop their teenagers, their young teenagers off at a street

1748
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 1: shutdown event, it's to them I'm speaking. They have the

1749
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,640
Speaker 1: ability to raise their children to be successful individuals. So

1750
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 1: just had to get that out, Christopher, Yeah, I appreciate it.

1751
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:24,560
Speaker 3: All I'll share with you is that, you know, my

1752
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 3: parents who were born in the nineteen thirties, right when

1753
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 3: racism were in the South. By the way in Montgomery, Alabama,

1754
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 3: and in Birmingham, Alabama, they were facing the Klan and

1755
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 3: the Dixiecrats head on. Filling stations were being burned to

1756
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 3: the ground, churches burned to the ground. They lived in

1757
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 3: a different environment, but they loved this country and my

1758
01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:52,599
Speaker 3: grandparents wanted better for them. They still sit my parents

1759
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:57,640
Speaker 3: out with beautiful clothes ironed tight, ready saying education is

1760
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 3: our way out, high standards, fighting in wars, being a

1761
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 3: part of the military. Like my father, who was an

1762
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 3: officer in the military, in the army, he was a gunner.

1763
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 3: I remember when my father was dying, he just started

1764
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 3: he broke out in his gunner song. It broke us

1765
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 3: all out into tears as he was fighting for his life.

1766
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 3: My point to all of you is my father and

1767
01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 3: my mother loved this country and they fought for us

1768
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 3: to have a better life. Nothing's perfect, nothing's perfect for women,

1769
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:32,639
Speaker 3: nothing's perfect for Latinos or African Americans or by the way,

1770
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 3: Appalachian people in West Virginia. We live in a world

1771
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 3: that's not perfect. But this is the greatest experiment of democracy,

1772
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 3: and that is why everybody is trying to come here

1773
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:45,679
Speaker 3: to the United States. And I wouldn't want to live

1774
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 3: anywhere other than the United States of America period. I'm

1775
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 3: not trying to go anywhere. And people who sit back

1776
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:55,720
Speaker 3: and say they want us to live like Cuba or Venezuela,

1777
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 3: they are absolutely off their rockers. My job as a

1778
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 3: fire is to continue to work to make things better

1779
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 3: for my family. That's the difference. I don't sit back

1780
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 3: and play or hate on the billionaire. I want to

1781
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 3: be the billionaire, and I want to position my children

1782
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 3: to have the best education. And that is what my

1783
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:18,799
Speaker 3: father and what my mother wanted for their six children.

1784
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,720
Speaker 3: The end of the day, the country isn't perfect, but

1785
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 3: it's the best place in the world. And I don't

1786
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 3: want to act like racism and sexism and those things

1787
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 3: don't exist, but to act as if Iran is better,

1788
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 3: to act like Venezuela is better, to act like Cuba

1789
01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:39,439
Speaker 3: is better or Colombia is better. Those liberal white people

1790
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,760
Speaker 3: that are in the street who are saying that are

1791
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:48,080
Speaker 3: insane and so all up there and completely insane. In conclusion, Listen, community,

1792
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 3: the violence over the weekend was catastrophic. We must support

1793
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 3: our law enforcement and we must send a serious message

1794
01:40:57,280 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 3: of a zero tolerance for this behavior, no matter race,

1795
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:04,639
Speaker 3: no matter gender and no matter age. Thank you Brian

1815
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:58,719
Speaker 1: Ron has really impacted. It looks like the cost of everything.

1816
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: Brian James, Welcome back to the Morning show. It's always

1818
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 6: And a happy winter again.

1819
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: Apparently that was a rough walk in by polar Our

1820
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: weather is bipolar, so just wait, just wait a minute,

1821
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 1: it'll change. Looking forward to summer this No, I'm not

1822
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: after talking with Ken Kober this morning, the FOP president

1823
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 1: who's just promised even more violence coming because it gets

1824
01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 1: warm out. Yeah, there's an excuse. Yeah anyway, or drag

1825
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 1: you down that road, Brian James. Let us start with

1826
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 1: you Iran war and the multiple the various areas it's

1827
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: impacting us, beginning with discretionary spending. Price of gasoline has

1828
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,599
Speaker 1: gone up, if you haven't noticed, Brian, apparently more than

1829
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 1: thirty two percent surge just in a few weeks. It

1830
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 1: continues to go up, although I have to quickly point

1831
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 1: out to all those pulling their hair out thinking this

1832
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 1: is just the end of the world. Twenty twenty two,

1833
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: the national average and that includes you know, Ohio and

1834
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 1: lower price gasoline states, five bucks was the national average,

1835
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 1: and it was pretty well into the fours up to

1836
01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:03,160
Speaker 1: five almost the whole calendar year, So it wasn't that

1837
01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:06,040
Speaker 1: long ago we were dealing with much more expensive gasoline prices.

1838
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 1: But this, of course the direct con consequence of going

1839
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:11,679
Speaker 1: to war with Iran, so starting there and had impact

1840
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:12,880
Speaker 1: on discretionary spending.

1841
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, so, And I think the reason that this is

1842
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 9: a little bit more impactful is because this is a

1843
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 9: conscious decision that our leadership has made to enter into

1844
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 9: this conflict. And it's not exactly rocket science to notice

1845
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 9: that if you're gonna if you're going to enter into

1846
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 9: a war, cause any kind of disruption the Middle East,

1847
01:43:30,040 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 9: oil prices are going up.

1848
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but I mean I have to point out,

1849
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 1: and I do it all the time. It's a conscious

1850
01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 1: decision to say we need to quit, we need to

1851
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: get rid of our exhalation our plant food from the environment.

1852
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 1: And of course, when you implement laws and regulations, look

1853
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Speaker 1: at California, for example, it didn't have to be five

1854
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:46,799
Speaker 1: dollars gasoline the norm out there. They did that to themselves.

1855
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 1: So you can have a war, or you can implement

1856
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 1: policies that force the price of gas up. Sure, and

1857
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,719
Speaker 1: then that I think is the baseline.

1858
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 9: Right, It's always more expensive to buy gas in California

1859
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 9: so what I'm seeing pictures of and I think these

1860
01:43:59,160 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 9: are slightly one.

1861
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 6: So I don't want to say that this is the

1862
01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 6: this is reality.

1863
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 9: But I'm seeing seven and eight dollars a gallon prices

1864
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 9: in certain spots of California. Is definitely not everywhere. And

1865
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:10,880
Speaker 9: I saw the states overrun, but everything has increased pretty

1866
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 9: much proportionally. You know, they were already expensive, now they're

1867
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 9: more expensive. Well, guess what, We're more expensive here in

1868
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 9: Ohio too. I do remember, you know, I remember it

1869
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 9: peaking close to five dollars around here. Five dollars is

1870
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 9: always the boogeyman whenever that happens. We talk about five

1871
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 9: dollars gas, and I don't think it happens all where

1872
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 9: we ever get to that point where it really hits

1873
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 9: five and stays there.

1874
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: To me, it's four.

1875
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 9: We hit four and sit there for a while. That's

1876
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:36,599
Speaker 9: when I know around here it's trickling through. And that's

1877
01:44:36,600 --> 01:44:37,800
Speaker 9: what I'm seeing right now, of course.

1878
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: Well, and I of course remember four plus a lot

1879
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 1: because I sadly had the pump premium into my car,

1880
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 1: so there was a long period of time when I

1881
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:46,560
Speaker 1: was paying you know, four to twenty five to fifty

1882
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 1: four dollars to fifty cents a gallon. I felt like

1883
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:48,919
Speaker 1: I lived in California.

1884
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:50,680
Speaker 6: But yeah, why did I buy this car?

1885
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 1: I know, don't be nice. I know, I know, I know.

1886
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 1: Don't get me started. We could talk a long time

1887
01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 1: on that.

1888
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 6: I have, I have one.

1889
01:44:56,200 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 3: Two.

1890
01:44:56,360 --> 01:45:00,680
Speaker 1: I get it. US Energy Information Administration's EIA gov is

1891
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: where I got the annual figure from nineteen ninety three

1892
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: all the way to this year in terms of the

1893
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: average national average. So that's where that figure came from.

1894
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 9: Sure, sure, yeah, And I don't mean to question. I'm

1895
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 9: just talking about the you know, just just the overall feeling. Yeah,

1896
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 9: remembering when people freak out, that's basically I'm on the

1897
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:16,920
Speaker 9: receiving end of that.

1898
01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:18,719
Speaker 6: Is when my phone rings and people were.

1899
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 9: Saying five, it's going to be five dollars, gonna be

1900
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:22,719
Speaker 9: five dollars. And I remember a couple instances, but yeah,

1901
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 9: my mind.

1902
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: It's for it's it definitely can tell it. There's like

1903
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 1: a wind in the airs, like, oh my god, people

1904
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:28,840
Speaker 1: are pissed off. Oh, here it is. Here's the reason,

1905
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 1: which of course is going to the first thing to

1906
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 1: go in anybody's budget except for a government's budget is

1907
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: the quote unquote nice to have purchases, the discretionary spending,

1908
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 1: and that's a sizable part of the economy because I

1909
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 1: would throw it into discretionary spending like for example, going

1910
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:41,639
Speaker 1: out to dinner.

1911
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 6: Oh for sure.

1912
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's going to cause the you know, the

1913
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:47,560
Speaker 9: the reduction in some other things. And that's why the

1914
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,200
Speaker 9: market has been freaking out a little bit and ironically why.

1915
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 6: It's up today.

1916
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 9: So futures and it's not all it's not believing, it's

1917
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:55,640
Speaker 9: not about what the market's going to do today. But

1918
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 9: that's how we can we can get a feeling for

1919
01:45:57,479 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 9: what is the overall opinion of what mood are we in.

1920
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 9: Futures are up one and a half to two percent.

1921
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 6: Look at at the right.

1922
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 9: It's crazy well, and I think it's driven by nothing

1923
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 9: more than Trump making a few comments said maybe we're

1924
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 9: going to back off here just a little bit. We're

1925
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 9: maybe not going to attack the you know, the civilian

1926
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 9: infrastructure sites, and so that the market instantly reacts and

1927
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:17,800
Speaker 9: it's looking for the end of the conflict. That's what

1928
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 9: the market is always going to anticipate that this might

1929
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:22,160
Speaker 9: be the end. WEP, Nope, it's not, but maybe it's

1930
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 9: this whatp Nope, that wasn't it either. Whooppe, Oh, here

1931
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 9: it is. And the problem is, you know, that's that's

1932
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 9: why we always encourage people not to try to time it.

1933
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 9: Sooner or later it's gonna get it right, but until then,

1934
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 9: there's going to be a heck of a lot of

1935
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 9: head fakes. And that's where we're at right now. But regardless,

1936
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 9: that's not really what we're talking about today. We're talking

1937
01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 9: about the the overall impact of inflation on the pocketbook.

1938
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 9: And so, yes, there are concerns that if I got

1939
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 9: to spend more at the gas pomp, I'm going to

1940
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,599
Speaker 9: eat out less. I'm going to you know, I'm going

1941
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,360
Speaker 9: to do all less less of these discretionary things. And

1942
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 9: not to mention, this is also filtering through. This is

1943
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 9: really what the headline is. It's filtering through to electricity,

1944
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 9: and that's not something.

1945
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 6: We get to choose.

1946
01:46:57,120 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 1: I can't decide.

1947
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 6: Hey guys, we're gonna use twenty percent less electricity this month.

1948
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 6: Buckle down.

1949
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was a topic we're going to get

1950
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:05,719
Speaker 1: to because I saw you have a separate article referring

1951
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 1: to electricity builds are up six percent from last year,

1952
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,759
Speaker 1: and I find that figure to be, well, in my world,

1953
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: a bit of an understatement, Brian. But before we get

1954
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: over that, your wheelhouse, of course, this investment in retirement,

1955
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 1: the impact that this is going to have on our

1956
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:23,439
Speaker 1: investment and retirement funds, this global conflict we find ourselves in.

1957
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 1: I see nasdacs down what almost seven percent for the year. Well,

1958
01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,760
Speaker 1: unless today jumps two points, I don't know. SMP's down

1959
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:33,920
Speaker 1: about five for the year, and as well, the Dow

1960
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 1: is down about five for the year. So clearly it's

1961
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 1: whatever's out there is impacting our retirement plan for sure.

1962
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,640
Speaker 6: And this is coming on the tail end too.

1963
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 9: There's a little bit of before the war started here,

1964
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 9: there was already kind of a little bit of suspicion

1965
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 9: there kind of always is after we have a ridiculous

1966
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 9: run up like we've had since twenty twenty two, where

1967
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 9: we had some again headfakes along the way. We had

1968
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:57,160
Speaker 9: a panic about the tariffs back in April and the

1969
01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 9: market went down almost twenty percent. That's almost a year

1970
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 9: ago now, so April twenty five I'm referring to. And

1971
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:04,679
Speaker 9: then we got over that, we calmed down and moved

1972
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 9: on as we as we normally do, and and cooler

1973
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 9: heads will prevail.

1974
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: They always do.

1975
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 9: Nobody benefits from permanently sinking the world into a global conflict, right,

1976
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 9: So I have to say that somebody is in President

1977
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 9: Trump's ear saying, hey, you know, we do have midterms

1978
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:22,560
Speaker 9: this year and at some point where we're going to

1979
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:24,560
Speaker 9: need to make to show progress that this is this

1980
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 9: is a goal, or that we do have some level

1981
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 9: of restraint. We will make different decisions when the situation arises.

1982
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 9: That seems to be what has happened here, and the

1983
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 9: market is reacting very quickly, but sooner or later, this

1984
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 9: too shall pass and we'll get back to normal.

1985
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: Well, and I have to just interject the odd, strange

1986
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 1: reality that we're all dealing with finally waking up to

1987
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,719
Speaker 1: the realization that twenty percent of the world's oil basically

1988
01:48:47,880 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: gas oil and even fertilized nothing goes through that twenty

1989
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: mile little tiny piece of waterway that Iran can disrupt.

1990
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:58,280
Speaker 1: That it has been so devastating in such a short

1991
01:48:58,280 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: period of time for so many countries in the world,

1992
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: you would think that maybe they might step up and say,

1993
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, well, if there is something we can do

1994
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 1: about that, straight to horror moves. Why don't we help

1995
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,719
Speaker 1: out and open it up. I mean, it's the world

1996
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,679
Speaker 1: against Iran right now, simply because of the economic reality

1997
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:12,519
Speaker 1: and pain they've brought on us. And I know that

1998
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 1: we are partially culpable because we started the war, but

1999
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:17,759
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have it it wasn't for Irani and terrorist's

2000
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,759
Speaker 1: discussion for another day, but it may change the dynamic

2001
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 1: globally in so far as people's perceptions of getting the

2002
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 1: straight of horror moos rack open.

2003
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's a lot of truth to that,

2004
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 9: because obviously they don't think it's rocket science there either

2005
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 9: to say that that is definitely literally a bottleneck, quite

2006
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:33,960
Speaker 9: literally the definition of a bottleneck.

2007
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 6: So let's treat it with care.

2008
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 9: But at the same time, that does give a Ran

2009
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:41,640
Speaker 9: some leverage, as it has over the centuries, because they

2010
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:43,559
Speaker 9: have something that we that the rest of the world needs,

2011
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:46,000
Speaker 9: and so they can use it to push their goals

2012
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 9: as well.

2013
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 6: This kind of goes back to a little bit.

2014
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 9: I do wish that this administration perhaps had pushed its

2015
01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 9: goals with Europe a little differently, you know, could we

2016
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 9: have maybe not treated it like it was a fight

2017
01:49:57,280 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 9: in a high school playground and just kind of laid

2018
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:00,960
Speaker 9: down the lock. Here's what we're gonna contribute to NATO

2019
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 9: and no more. And you guys need to pony up

2020
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:05,720
Speaker 9: the rest of you know what you committed to do

2021
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 9: versus the approach we took, which was basically just to

2022
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 9: pull the rug and take the.

2023
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 6: Ball and go home. Because now we're on the other

2024
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 6: end of it. It would be very nice, as you.

2025
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 9: Said, if everybody would realize that the straight OH hormones

2026
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 9: is important, not just the United States, everyone else. But

2027
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 9: unfortunately we blew some political temple I think making headlines.

2028
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: Well, the point was well made. They need to be

2029
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: responsible for their rooms for themselves, right, Okay.

2030
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's no argument with that whatsoever.

2031
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 9: But now when we could use their help, maybe we

2032
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 9: could have taken a different tact, all.

2033
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,719
Speaker 1: Right, pivoting over to one other area. This might impact

2034
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 1: or might not as the case, maybe because I know

2035
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 1: Jerome Powell doesn't have any idea because he's not he

2036
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,560
Speaker 1: can't read tea leaves and know what the future is.

2037
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: How this might impact mortgage rates. We were enjoying a

2038
01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 1: little bit of reprieve from the north of six percent

2039
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 1: mortgage rates but that moment in time gone.

2040
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 9: Now right, well, potentially because hopefully we can get this

2041
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 9: as all one way or another before this is permanent.

2042
01:50:55,640 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 9: So but of course we're seeing inflation obviously, and whenever

2043
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 9: we choke off that bottleneck, then of course supply goes

2044
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:05,519
Speaker 9: down and the cost goes up, and then we get inflation.

2045
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 9: So mortgage rates are rising six point one percent on

2046
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 9: a thirty year up to about six point four percent

2047
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 9: just over the past couple of weeks. And again that's

2048
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 9: coming from rising treasure yields and inflation expectations. This is

2049
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:19,759
Speaker 9: the market driving it, not fed policy. The Federal Reserve

2050
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:23,200
Speaker 9: did not raise rates. It's just the market pushing bonds

2051
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,800
Speaker 9: in a different direction that has that result. So and

2052
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 9: this is coming directly from of course, we're seeing gas

2053
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:31,439
Speaker 9: prices up about twenty two percent in a month, four

2054
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 9: bucks a gallon a lot of places, and a lot

2055
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 9: more than that elsewhere. And again all coming back to

2056
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:41,360
Speaker 9: this this somewhat self inflicted chosen war here, not to

2057
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 9: say it doesn't have a place, you know, in our

2058
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 9: overall foreign policy, but at the end of the day,

2059
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 9: we can't pretend that it wasn't going to have an

2060
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:49,759
Speaker 9: impact all right, this shouldn't surprise anybody.

2061
01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:52,040
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you mentioned electricity earlier. I kind of

2062
01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 1: stop you from moving forward to it because I want

2063
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about it. Because the

2064
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: electricity jump has was was there before we invaded Iran.

2065
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been struggling with the last couple of

2066
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 1: months worth of electricity and gas bills, although gas is

2067
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 1: such a fraction of my bill that I don't even

2068
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 1: really look at it, but electricity has gone through the room.

2069
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 1: Is there a reason for that? Did they change the

2070
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:12,759
Speaker 1: way billing is done? Or is that what we're dealing

2071
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 1: with because of oh, I don't know, global warming or

2072
01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:18,360
Speaker 1: something more. With Brian James Money Monday coming up next

2073
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 1: to eight sixteen right now if you have k CEDE

2074
01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 1: talk station the Events of the day, he's a vents

2075
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 1: ed talk station. Brian Thomas with Brian James Money Monday.

2076
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: Is Brian James get some good information for him. Worried

2077
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,439
Speaker 1: about your financial future? That's why everybody should really get

2078
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 1: a financial planner. I have one, and I'm glad I do.

2079
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 1: Taken the weight off my shoulders. Anyway, Pivoting over to

2080
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 1: electric prices, I have no idea What in God's green

2081
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:43,720
Speaker 1: earth happened to my electric bill? There? Brian James. But

2082
01:52:43,960 --> 01:52:46,599
Speaker 1: beginning with the first bill of the month I got

2083
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:50,880
Speaker 1: it in January, I think if I had to guess,

2084
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 1: I would say it was at least one hundred, if

2085
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: not more like one hundred and fifty bucks more than

2086
01:52:56,720 --> 01:53:00,320
Speaker 1: the highest bill I ever got from Duke Energy. My

2087
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:03,439
Speaker 1: mouth literally fell open, like what the ever loving FCC

2088
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:06,080
Speaker 1: non compliant word came out of my mouth at the time,

2089
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 1: and I thought, maybe this is just an abarition. But no,

2090
01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:11,839
Speaker 1: when the February's bill came or got it late February,

2091
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 1: same damn thing, almost identical. I just can't make heads

2092
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: or tail out of it. A lot more than the

2093
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:20,640
Speaker 1: six percent increase which we apparently are experiencing on a

2094
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 1: national average. What is with electric Brian James?

2095
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 9: Well, I think the big headline behind this is the

2096
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 9: things that we are building to support what we are becoming,

2097
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 9: and a lot of this is AI and data center.

2098
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 9: So data centers were maybe just a few years ago,

2099
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,759
Speaker 9: probably about four percent of US power usage. Now they're

2100
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,160
Speaker 9: projected to reach up to ten to twelve percent by

2101
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 9: twenty twenty eight, and so we're somewhere in the middle

2102
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:45,120
Speaker 9: of that now. And these individual AI facilities can consume

2103
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 9: up to one hundred megawatts more than that, which doesn't

2104
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 9: mean a lot to you know, just a number, but

2105
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 9: that is basically all of Dayton, a couple of Hamilton's,

2106
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:55,719
Speaker 9: maybe a middletown thrown in for good, for good measure,

2107
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 9: that's how much electricity these larger facilities can consume. And

2108
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 9: there are some of these things being built in the

2109
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:03,040
Speaker 9: state of Ohio, a lot of it, yeah, everywhere, and

2110
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:04,439
Speaker 9: so as a matter of fact, but what I'm also

2111
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 9: seeing springing up is signs that say no data centers.

2112
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:10,479
Speaker 6: Somehow that's proportional.

2113
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:12,679
Speaker 1: It seems to be well, if the data centers brought

2114
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:14,800
Speaker 1: their own dam electricity with them and covered their own

2115
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:17,559
Speaker 1: you know nut, if I can use that term, then

2116
01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:19,960
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have a problem in fact, with small modular reactors.

2117
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:22,720
Speaker 1: And everybody knows that I'm on that bandwagon. Streamline the

2118
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:27,679
Speaker 1: regulatory process, streamline the design process where one size literally

2119
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:30,479
Speaker 1: can fit all, like they have with our military ships.

2120
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:33,960
Speaker 1: We could we could manage this. It's just it's going

2121
01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:35,680
Speaker 1: to take time, and it's going to have to It's

2122
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 1: going to take a change in mind over nuclear but

2123
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:41,000
Speaker 1: also a reduction in the regulatory burden that comes with it.

2124
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 1: It's going to.

2125
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:45,440
Speaker 9: Take some courage in standing up to the profit centers

2126
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 9: that that these that these things are because at the

2127
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:50,600
Speaker 9: end of the day, that that is what we have built.

2128
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 9: Over a quarter of a millennium, two hundred and fifty years,

2129
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 9: we have been building a country that is the best

2130
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,480
Speaker 9: place in history to ever have built a business. That's

2131
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:00,640
Speaker 9: how we make decisions. We want to we tend to

2132
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:02,920
Speaker 9: want to remove we ebb and flow, but we tend

2133
01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:07,160
Speaker 9: to face more make more decisions that are around deregulation

2134
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 9: and allowing these things to happen. Therefore, there are no

2135
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:11,440
Speaker 9: rules in place to say if you want to suck

2136
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:13,280
Speaker 9: on the edge of the power grid this much, then

2137
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:14,920
Speaker 9: you can. You can pretty much do that, and there

2138
01:55:14,960 --> 01:55:16,880
Speaker 9: isn't a whole lot standing in the way, which means

2139
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 9: we need our political leadership, good, bad or indifferent to

2140
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 9: stand up and say you know what, no, this is

2141
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 9: going to be more expensive and expensive than you thought

2142
01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 9: it would. We have we do have rules, some rules

2143
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 9: in place. So let's talk a little bit, Brian about

2144
01:55:27,680 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 9: why why is this happening? Because you know, some people

2145
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 9: out there going, well, how can they do this? Because

2146
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:33,960
Speaker 9: electricity rates are regulated, aren't they There has to be

2147
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 9: an agreement from the state of Ohio for in PUCO

2148
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 9: to make these decisions to change those rates.

2149
01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:41,879
Speaker 6: So some of that is cost recovery.

2150
01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 9: You know that there's there's fuel in it, there's the

2151
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 9: infrastructure to move the fuel, maintenance and operations and all

2152
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:49,200
Speaker 9: that kind of thing. But there's also utilities are allowed

2153
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 9: to earn a set rate of return. So utilities are

2154
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 9: somewhere between a public entity and a private private entity

2155
01:55:55,680 --> 01:55:58,200
Speaker 9: because there is profit involved. However, they are supported and

2156
01:55:58,280 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 9: we can't have you know, ten utilities impeding for business.

2157
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 9: You know, in terms of the generation, it's the distribution

2158
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 9: side where they can do that. So the fuel costs

2159
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 9: get passed through, the infrastructure spending gets all baked in,

2160
01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 9: and then of course we have demand growth just like

2161
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 9: any other business. And then in capacity markets, utilities pay

2162
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:17,919
Speaker 9: for this backup power availability and those.

2163
01:56:17,800 --> 01:56:20,200
Speaker 6: Costs have surged a lot. Guess what that gets passed

2164
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:20,959
Speaker 6: through to consumers.

2165
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 9: So, yes, rates are regulated, but there's a lot of

2166
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 9: other things built into that rate that are not.

2167
01:56:25,880 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 1: Well, let's pause. Bring Brian Jat back, because you know,

2168
01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 1: one thing I find really, really, really important about my

2169
01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 1: financial planner relationship with me is because that person has

2170
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 1: a fiduciary obligation to me, which must means that he

2171
01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 1: must keep my interest in the forefront of any decision making.

2172
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 1: So I'm a little concerned. Normally I'm not when we

2173
01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:46,880
Speaker 1: get rid of rules, I'm a little concerned about this one.

2174
01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 1: Brian's gonna explain this Biden error rule that's just been

2175
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 1: pulled by the Department of Labor. That'll happen next, don't

2180
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe

2181
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 1: on Yes, the chaos at the airports. We got LaGuardia

2182
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 1: closed because of a collision, but we also have the

2183
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 1: reality of the TSA agents aren't showing up because they're

2184
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,800
Speaker 1: not getting paid. Chocking no One. Pivoting back over to

2185
01:57:18,840 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 1: Brian James and I like your sentiment on that little

2186
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 1: plot you did about you know, trying to come to

2187
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 1: some point where you actually start spending your money if

2188
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 1: you've saved your entire life. I thought that was a

2189
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,160
Speaker 1: refreshing point to make there, Brian James, because you know,

2190
01:57:31,520 --> 01:57:33,520
Speaker 1: spending money always freaks me out.

2191
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:37,960
Speaker 9: So yeah, that's that's the west side of the conservative

2192
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:38,880
Speaker 9: west side coming out in.

2193
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 6: I have to fight it myself.

2194
01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 9: But yeah, no, I'd say this all the time, but

2195
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 9: I spend like ninety plus percent of the time sitting

2196
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:46,680
Speaker 9: at my table in my office with clients begging them

2197
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:48,960
Speaker 9: to spend their own money. It's my job to shine

2198
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 9: a light on how how okay they actually are. And

2199
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 9: most people are okay, but they won't allow themselves to

2200
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:56,480
Speaker 9: believe it. That's the same voice in the back of

2201
01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 9: their heads that put them in that position. But you

2202
01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:01,400
Speaker 9: have to shout it down eventually live a fulfilling life.

2203
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 1: Well, you know, and my kids aren't listening because I

2204
01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 1: don't think they ever do. But just the whole idea,

2205
01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 1: if we ever get a grandchild, Brian James, you know,

2206
01:58:08,920 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 1: we got a pile of money sitting out back waiting

2207
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 1: to splurge on grandchildren. That's going to be a retirement

2208
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 1: project for my wife and me. So someone better get

2209
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:19,920
Speaker 1: off the pot pivoting over. We got this.

2210
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 6: Fiduciary DT hint.

2211
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 1: I love the fiduciary obligation that my financial planner has

2212
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:29,040
Speaker 1: to me, Brian. I take confidence in that because there

2213
01:58:29,040 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 1: are a lot of financial planners out there that don't

2214
01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 1: do a fee base thing. They go out and they

2215
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 1: make money selling you things that might not be in

2216
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:37,520
Speaker 1: your best financial interest down the road, which means not

2217
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:40,160
Speaker 1: following a fiduciary obligation, looking out for their own pockets

2218
01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:43,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to those that they're supposed to serve. So

2219
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 1: what is with this Labor Department rule that has struck

2220
01:58:47,040 --> 01:58:52,480
Speaker 1: down the advice that classify I'm sorry that financial professionals

2221
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: and are fiduciaries on some level. What's with this?

2222
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,839
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, unfortunately, I think this is just political.

2223
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 9: So the word fiducial basically means, just for those who

2224
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:03,800
Speaker 9: may not be familiar, basically means that an advisor has

2225
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:05,440
Speaker 9: to be able to prove in a court of law

2226
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 9: that any advice they gave or moves they made in

2227
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:11,320
Speaker 9: your portfolio that kind of thing, it was done for

2228
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 9: your best interest and not for their So that's what

2229
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 9: it means at a very high level, but a lot

2230
01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:18,080
Speaker 9: of what is impacted by it is the fact that

2231
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:21,600
Speaker 9: if that's the case, then they can't get compensated based

2232
01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 9: off of you purchasing or not purchasing a certain product. So,

2233
01:59:25,120 --> 01:59:27,240
Speaker 9: you know, commissioned IPEd things are usually kind of in

2234
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:28,000
Speaker 9: the crosshairs there.

2235
01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:29,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, So there was a rule came up.

2236
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:35,120
Speaker 9: In the Biden era that basically was targeted directly at

2237
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 9: four oh one K and retirement plan rollovers into iras

2238
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:42,560
Speaker 9: and basically was forcing people to forcing brokers, insurance agents,

2239
01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 9: and advisors, everybody to act as a fiduciary. In this case,

2240
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 9: there's a difference between being a fiduciary advisor and being

2241
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:51,880
Speaker 9: a salesperson. Salespeople have nothing wrong with it, but it's

2242
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:54,280
Speaker 9: just a different environment. There are fewer rules versus if

2243
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:57,160
Speaker 9: you're a fiduciary, a lot more documentation, a lot more paperwork,

2244
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 9: those kinds of things, And this was going to force

2245
01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:02,120
Speaker 9: the people who were only on the sales side of

2246
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 9: this to start to act as a fiduciary. It was

2247
02:00:05,920 --> 02:00:08,240
Speaker 9: in place, but it has now been struck down by

2248
02:00:08,280 --> 02:00:11,640
Speaker 9: a federal court in Texas. Really taking care of it

2249
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:13,920
Speaker 9: before it truly ever took full effect. Now I can

2250
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:16,440
Speaker 9: say my firm put this in place years ago. We've

2251
02:00:16,440 --> 02:00:18,560
Speaker 9: been a fiduciary twenty four to seven for as long

2252
02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 9: as we've existed, pretty much, and we actually put different

2253
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:25,120
Speaker 9: processes in place to document that we are having these

2254
02:00:25,160 --> 02:00:27,720
Speaker 9: discussions and making sure people understand. And that's an extra

2255
02:00:27,800 --> 02:00:29,560
Speaker 9: piece of paper you gotta sign when there's a rollover

2256
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 9: mix and all this sort of stuff. So that has

2257
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:35,040
Speaker 9: been in any fiduciary really worth their salt. This was

2258
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:37,760
Speaker 9: never a thing because they probably told you on day one, Yes.

2259
02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:39,360
Speaker 1: This is what we are, and this is what we do.

2260
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:42,080
Speaker 9: Here's our fees, and here's the services we provide, so

2261
02:00:42,160 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 9: on and so forth. So for the ones who were

2262
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:46,520
Speaker 9: playing by the rules, it was just extra work to

2263
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 9: begin with. For the ones who weren't, it was something

2264
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 9: that they resisted. And like I said a little bit earlier,

2265
02:00:52,160 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 9: we have put in place in this country the best

2266
02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 9: mechanism to be profitable and efficient. Ever, we lean toward

2267
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:00,360
Speaker 9: the side of business first. I think this fall under

2268
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 9: that category, although I do believe consumers are now more

2269
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:05,960
Speaker 9: exposed than they were before this was struck down at

2270
02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:07,960
Speaker 9: KRZ deep Tog Station.

2271
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in the cockpit before? Yes, I

2272
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,440
Speaker 1: heard b the aviation expert Jay Ratliff had as many

2273
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:20,200
Speaker 1: times and we get the blessings to Jay Ratliff and

2274
02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:22,680
Speaker 1: his aviation report every Thursday at a thirty here and

2275
02:01:22,720 --> 02:01:24,440
Speaker 1: look at the five KRC morning show. And in those

2276
02:01:24,520 --> 02:01:27,560
Speaker 1: times of need, he's willing to join us on short notice,

2277
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:28,800
Speaker 1: which he was kind enough to do this morning to

2278
02:01:28,880 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 1: talk about two things. First off, LaGuardia Airport and second

2279
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:34,960
Speaker 1: off the whole problem we have with TSA. Welcome back,

2280
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:37,680
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, Thank you so much for joining us late

2281
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:38,120
Speaker 1: in the game.

2282
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:41,720
Speaker 7: Well, anytime you need me, you know that if I'm available, Yeah,

2283
02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:42,240
Speaker 7: I'm here.

2284
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Well that's a good qualification because you are in high demand.

2285
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 1: When it hits the fan, and of course let's start

2286
02:01:47,000 --> 02:01:49,080
Speaker 1: with the Guardi Airport where it definitely has hit the fan.

2287
02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 1: We had an Air Canada flight run into a fire

2288
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:55,760
Speaker 1: truck and it looks like the airplane lost the battle.

2289
02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, what's going on here? What have we learned?

2290
02:01:57,800 --> 02:01:59,840
Speaker 1: I understand that two pilots are dead and looking at

2291
02:01:59,840 --> 02:02:01,560
Speaker 1: the damage, that comes as no shock to me.

2292
02:02:02,640 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was an arriving Air Canada flight. It was

2293
02:02:06,040 --> 02:02:09,560
Speaker 7: a regional jet, one of the Bombardier CRJA nine hundreds.

2294
02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:12,400
Speaker 7: It was landing just before midnight last night at LaGuardia,

2295
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:16,080
Speaker 7: and as they were landing and slowing coming up towards

2296
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:18,280
Speaker 7: the end of the runway, they stowed some considerable speed

2297
02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 7: and the aircraft collided with fuel truck. Now, anytime you're

2298
02:02:22,840 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 7: at an airport, any ground vehicle has to request permission

2299
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 7: from air traffic control to cross the runway. This fire

2300
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 7: truck did just that. They requested permission across the runway,

2301
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:36,680
Speaker 7: they were given permission to do so. Moments after that

2302
02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:41,080
Speaker 7: permission was granted, air traffic control comes back and says stop, stop, stop,

2303
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 7: trying to get the fire truck to stop. Sadly, they

2304
02:02:44,040 --> 02:02:46,640
Speaker 7: did not do so in time, so we don't know

2305
02:02:46,720 --> 02:02:48,680
Speaker 7: what happened other than in fact, we had seventy two

2306
02:02:48,720 --> 02:02:51,600
Speaker 7: passengers on board the aircraft for a crew member. We

2307
02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 7: had the two pilots that were killed. Forty one I

2308
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,640
Speaker 7: believe were taken to the hospital. Thirty two release nine

2309
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:03,440
Speaker 7: are listed in serious condition. The two individuals were being

2310
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:07,360
Speaker 7: told in the fire truck are injured, but non life

2311
02:03:07,440 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 7: threatening injuries.

2312
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:08,560
Speaker 3: There.

2313
02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 7: So the NTSB's arrived, they're going to find out exactly

2314
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:15,960
Speaker 7: what happened. Everybody involves going to be drug tested, looked

2315
02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:18,160
Speaker 7: at the training to look at the maintenance of the

2316
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 7: aircraft to make sure the brakes were, you know, doing

2317
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:22,600
Speaker 7: what they were supposed to be doing. And you know,

2318
02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 7: we'll see if it was a simple matter of a

2319
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:29,880
Speaker 7: human mistake or if there was mechanical situations or anything

2320
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:32,760
Speaker 7: else that might have impacted this. And you know, we'll

2321
02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:35,320
Speaker 7: get a briefing in like seven days and then thirty days,

2322
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:37,160
Speaker 7: and then the final report will be eight to twelve

2323
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:40,320
Speaker 7: months out. But Brian, you just we've talked about these

2324
02:03:40,440 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 7: runway incursions over the last several months. Yeah, and they

2325
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 7: seem to be growing in number. And here's the situation where,

2326
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:50,440
Speaker 7: you know, the aircraft was at a point on the

2327
02:03:50,520 --> 02:03:54,440
Speaker 7: runway where they had no options. You're nearing the end

2328
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 7: of the runway. You passed the point of no return

2329
02:03:56,560 --> 02:03:59,320
Speaker 7: where you can't power up and go around. According to

2330
02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:02,400
Speaker 7: the passenger that were interviewed, they those that fly a

2331
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:04,480
Speaker 7: lot said it was obvious they were trying to stop

2332
02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:07,640
Speaker 7: much faster than usual and the airplane was swerving a

2333
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 7: bit before impact, and sadly the crew saw the fire truck.

2334
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:15,280
Speaker 7: Obviously they're doing what they can, but they have limited

2335
02:04:15,960 --> 02:04:19,520
Speaker 7: mobility as far as that aircraft. It's simply not designed

2336
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:23,880
Speaker 7: to you know, be a zero turn raider on that,

2337
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 7: so it takes time to stop. And sadly they had

2338
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:31,840
Speaker 7: they have few options. And yeah, it's the whole well,

2339
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:34,000
Speaker 7: the whole front's ripped off of the aircraft. And you

2340
02:04:34,080 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 7: know the airplane is is designed with high strength in

2341
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:40,320
Speaker 7: essence aluminum, if you will, and it collides with a

2342
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 7: steel truck. I mean, you know who's going to win

2343
02:04:42,920 --> 02:04:45,600
Speaker 7: the battle there? And uh, you know, in that front

2344
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:49,240
Speaker 7: comes off, the aircraft itself just tips up and you

2345
02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:52,160
Speaker 7: see that the picture that's there. But you know, you

2346
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 7: just you hope that we can find out what happens.

2347
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:56,640
Speaker 7: So as always we say this that we can honor

2348
02:04:56,720 --> 02:04:59,200
Speaker 7: the lives of those that were lost by trying to

2349
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 7: learn what happened and then do whatever we can humanly

2350
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 7: speaking to prevent it from happening again. And of course

2351
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:07,760
Speaker 7: they've closed the Liberty Airport, which only has two runways,

2352
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:11,080
Speaker 7: until I believe two o'clock this afternoon to make sure

2353
02:05:11,160 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 7: that the investigation can go forward. And that they can

2354
02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:18,240
Speaker 7: remove everything that needs to be removed before they can

2355
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:22,200
Speaker 7: resume flight activity. And yeah, we'll wait to see what

2356
02:05:22,360 --> 02:05:24,600
Speaker 7: the answer is that the NTSB gives us. They will

2357
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,080
Speaker 7: do a thorough job as they always do, and we'll

2358
02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 7: find out what happened.

2359
02:05:28,120 --> 02:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Yes, we certainly will. And I guess the interesting thing

2360
02:05:32,360 --> 02:05:33,760
Speaker 1: is when people say what they want about it. But

2361
02:05:34,160 --> 02:05:37,680
Speaker 1: I find it unusual to observe that people are using

2362
02:05:38,680 --> 02:05:41,920
Speaker 1: the airplane and the damage that was done to the

2363
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:44,880
Speaker 1: airplane and running into a fire truck at some low

2364
02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:46,880
Speaker 1: rate of speed. He didn't say what speed. I've heard

2365
02:05:47,000 --> 02:05:49,080
Speaker 1: around twenty five or so miles an hour J eight.

2366
02:05:49,240 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm hearing the same.

2367
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that's proof that the airplane could not have flown

2368
02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:56,440
Speaker 1: into the trade center and brought it down, because look

2369
02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:58,960
Speaker 1: how flimsy the airplane is against the truck.

2370
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:04,200
Speaker 7: Well, you know, something at a much higher speed.

2371
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:07,480
Speaker 1: The first thing that came to my mind a really

2372
02:06:07,560 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 1: high rated feed and a lot of airplane fuel in

2373
02:06:10,480 --> 02:06:11,120
Speaker 1: that anyway.

2374
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:11,800
Speaker 5: Uh.

2375
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:14,520
Speaker 1: And the other interesting component of this I read that

2376
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:17,920
Speaker 1: a female flight attendant was ejected through the front of

2377
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 1: that aircraft while she was still in her seat during

2378
02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:23,160
Speaker 1: the crash. And she survived. Holy cow.

2379
02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:26,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, if if that's accurate. And when you look at

2380
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:30,320
Speaker 7: the when you look at the fact that the whole

2381
02:06:30,360 --> 02:06:32,360
Speaker 7: front of the airplane is missing, you know, you have

2382
02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:36,560
Speaker 7: a flight attendant that's positioned at the emergency door in

2383
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:39,240
Speaker 7: that seat, the jump seat there right at the front

2384
02:06:39,240 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 7: of the airplane. So if everything behind her disappears, it's

2385
02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:46,760
Speaker 7: very possible she could be thrown out of that open area.

2386
02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:50,640
Speaker 7: So you know, hopefully, you know, her recovery will be

2387
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:54,440
Speaker 7: uh will be okay from there, But we're gonna we're

2388
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:56,640
Speaker 7: gonna hear story after story after story from this. And

2389
02:06:57,200 --> 02:06:59,640
Speaker 7: you know, you've already got people that are pointing the

2390
02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 7: fingers and this is predictable as it is ridiculous and

2391
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 7: infuriating that they're immediately trying to make it a political

2392
02:07:07,080 --> 02:07:10,520
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, you know, they probably didn't have enough air

2393
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:14,400
Speaker 7: traffic controllers in the tower, which means it's obviously President

2394
02:07:14,440 --> 02:07:17,000
Speaker 7: Trump's fault. And I'm very quick to blow the whistle

2395
02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:17,800
Speaker 7: and say time out.

2396
02:07:17,960 --> 02:07:18,480
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no.

2397
02:07:18,840 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 7: We've had an air traffic control or shortage for decades,

2398
02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:24,960
Speaker 7: go back over several administrations. And if you're going to

2399
02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 7: cast blame, if there is blame on any shortage of

2400
02:07:28,160 --> 02:07:31,200
Speaker 7: any air traffic controllers. It's not a Donald Trump issue.

2401
02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:34,680
Speaker 7: It's an issue that has taken well, I would say, yeah,

2402
02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:36,680
Speaker 7: he was president for four years and it was an

2403
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:39,720
Speaker 7: issue then, so but we had other challenges back then.

2404
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 7: But we've you know, we've had presidents for the last

2405
02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 7: twenty years that have identified, yeah, we need to do something,

2406
02:07:44,560 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 7: and then they don't do anything about it. President Trump

2407
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:48,720
Speaker 7: has said it is an issue, We're going to get

2408
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:51,800
Speaker 7: it resolved, and he's tried to move things forward to

2409
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:55,480
Speaker 7: make that happen. But you know, just the part of

2410
02:07:55,600 --> 02:07:59,320
Speaker 7: the politicians that look for events to use for political fodder,

2411
02:08:00,400 --> 02:08:03,800
Speaker 7: especially when there's a loss of life, a noise me

2412
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:05,760
Speaker 7: beyond my ability to express it.

2413
02:08:06,120 --> 02:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Or a persistent problem across different administrations of different political

2414
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:14,080
Speaker 1: stripes that continues to exist after decades. Jay rattle lift.

2415
02:08:14,120 --> 02:08:18,120
Speaker 1: There you have it. Our elected officials rarely serve our

2416
02:08:18,160 --> 02:08:20,680
Speaker 1: best interest. Pause will bring Jay back and talk about

2417
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the TSA shortage, of course, a political reality. They're not

2418
02:08:23,080 --> 02:08:24,760
Speaker 1: getting paid, so they're not going to show up to work.

2419
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Not shocking anyone, but causing a lot of headaches from

2420
02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the American public and probably devastating for the airlines profits.

2421
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:33,320
Speaker 1: I want to get into comment on that as well

2422
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:35,000
Speaker 1: more with Jay ratlet at take forty five right now

2423
02:08:35,080 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk.

2424
02:08:36,160 --> 02:08:40,440
Speaker 9: Station, fifty five KARC for investors with significant rc the

2425
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:41,520
Speaker 9: talk station.

2426
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:45,840
Speaker 1: Ay forty eight, fifty five KRCD talk station. No, it's

2427
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 1: not Thursday, it's a Monday edition of I heard media

2428
02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:52,200
Speaker 1: Aviation expert Jay Ratloft talk. And today we're going to

2429
02:08:52,320 --> 02:08:54,480
Speaker 1: move over on this topic to talk about the TSA.

2430
02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Of course, with the government not funding TSA agents are

2431
02:08:57,520 --> 02:09:00,840
Speaker 1: not being paid starting salary fifty and I can certainly

2432
02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: understand maybe a lot of them living paycheck to paycheck.

2433
02:09:03,040 --> 02:09:04,640
Speaker 1: So you miss one and you've gotten ready to miss

2434
02:09:04,680 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 1: the second one. You've got to pursue your options, and

2435
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot of them are doing that. And Sehn Duffy

2436
02:09:09,640 --> 02:09:12,160
Speaker 1: just announced yesterday that he expects it to get a

2437
02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:14,680
Speaker 1: lot worse if the government doesn't open back up. And

2438
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:17,520
Speaker 1: so Donald Trump suggested putting ICE agents into place to

2439
02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 1: certain TSA agents. Is that a logical reaction, Jay Ratliff,

2440
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Or a logical response to that? Will the ICE agents

2441
02:09:26,120 --> 02:09:28,280
Speaker 1: be able to effectively do the TSA agent's job?

2442
02:09:29,080 --> 02:09:31,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, they'll be able to assist in a manner that

2443
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:36,440
Speaker 7: will allow the screening process to resume a little bit

2444
02:09:36,480 --> 02:09:39,760
Speaker 7: more of a normal flow. And it was great to

2445
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 7: see because we do have highly trained government employees that

2446
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:46,000
Speaker 7: can come in and assist, and because of the fact

2447
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:48,680
Speaker 7: of the duties that are involved, the technology that's there,

2448
02:09:49,160 --> 02:09:51,440
Speaker 7: there'll be some things they can do, some things they can't.

2449
02:09:51,680 --> 02:09:54,600
Speaker 7: But the idea of having extra hands and all hands

2450
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:56,720
Speaker 7: on deck is certainly going to help, especially some of

2451
02:09:56,760 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 7: these airports that we're seeing some of these incredibly long lines. Now, logistically,

2452
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:04,520
Speaker 7: it's a great move by the President, and politically, I

2453
02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:06,360
Speaker 7: think it's a great move because you had a lot

2454
02:10:06,400 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 7: of the Democrats that were seeing the long lines and

2455
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 7: rejoicing in the fact that there were pain at the

2456
02:10:13,600 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 7: airport by these passengers, thinking this is going to help

2457
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:21,760
Speaker 7: us using passengers as political you know pieces again and

2458
02:10:21,880 --> 02:10:24,280
Speaker 7: President Trump says, no, no, you won't, because what I'm

2459
02:10:24,280 --> 02:10:26,120
Speaker 7: going to do is deploy ice so that we're going

2460
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 7: to alleviate that so those lines will be reduced considerably

2461
02:10:29,160 --> 02:10:32,240
Speaker 7: and we'll get closer to a normal operation again, thwarting

2462
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:36,320
Speaker 7: their efforts to try to use the problems at the airport,

2463
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:40,240
Speaker 7: as you know, political gain type of thing which happens far, far,

2464
02:10:40,480 --> 02:10:41,640
Speaker 7: far far too often.

2465
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:42,760
Speaker 3: But I like it.

2466
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 7: It's a good move. It's not a permanent move, but

2467
02:10:45,640 --> 02:10:48,480
Speaker 7: you know, hopefully we can get everything back so that

2468
02:10:48,600 --> 02:10:51,520
Speaker 7: we can get these these men and women paid, because look,

2469
02:10:51,560 --> 02:10:54,200
Speaker 7: there're the front line of defense for our aviation network.

2470
02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:56,760
Speaker 7: We've got to make sure that they are paid and

2471
02:10:57,440 --> 02:11:01,400
Speaker 7: well treated. And the idea that there's no urgency seemingly

2472
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:04,520
Speaker 7: attached to what's going on. They seemed like the forgotten

2473
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:08,480
Speaker 7: step children, and that's I don't blame them, absolutely don't.

2474
02:11:08,680 --> 02:11:11,400
Speaker 1: Well, and I weren't that TSAG is put in place

2475
02:11:11,440 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: because of nine to eleven.

2476
02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:15,400
Speaker 7: Jay, Well, they were put in place because we needed

2477
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:18,280
Speaker 7: to make the country feel better because nine to eleven

2478
02:11:18,480 --> 02:11:22,000
Speaker 7: was not a situation where it was a breakdown in

2479
02:11:22,040 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 7: security at all. But the thought was if we had

2480
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:30,600
Speaker 7: this uniformed government, you know, presence, it would make things

2481
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 7: more effective. I totally disagreed with it, and I could

2482
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:37,600
Speaker 7: not believe President Trump created a separate, you know, a

2483
02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:41,920
Speaker 7: government group here of fifty thousand plus that we're going

2484
02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:44,920
Speaker 7: to be you know, adding more government jobs. But you know,

2485
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:48,840
Speaker 7: the thought was just like we put the National Guard

2486
02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 7: at the airport when flights resumed after those four days

2487
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:56,600
Speaker 7: of inactivity. For what I mean, it was nothing more

2488
02:11:56,680 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 7: than the presence of the military to make us feel better.

2489
02:12:00,040 --> 02:12:02,640
Speaker 7: And though again the attacks had nothing to do with

2490
02:12:03,080 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 7: the breakdown in security. So there was actually talk early

2491
02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:10,320
Speaker 7: on when President Trump took over, do we even need

2492
02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:12,320
Speaker 7: the TSA anymore? Can we go back to a private

2493
02:12:12,720 --> 02:12:16,080
Speaker 7: security firms across the country? Uh? I think that genie

2494
02:12:16,120 --> 02:12:19,840
Speaker 7: is out of the bottom and go back. But yeah,

2495
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 7: because we still see the inconsistencies with the TSA that

2496
02:12:23,880 --> 02:12:26,880
Speaker 7: we had when when we had private organizations as well.

2497
02:12:27,160 --> 02:12:29,360
Speaker 1: That's good point, and I just have to observe that

2498
02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:31,040
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of a shooting war with one

2499
02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: of the world's largest sponsors of terrorism and not having

2500
02:12:36,040 --> 02:12:39,640
Speaker 1: a TSA presence ere a reduced one. I think may

2501
02:12:39,720 --> 02:12:42,040
Speaker 1: come back to haunt the Democrats. God forbid the the

2502
02:12:42,440 --> 02:12:45,640
Speaker 1: airports are attacked in some way by someone for one

2503
02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:47,760
Speaker 1: of a TSA agent. Don't know if that's actually going

2504
02:12:47,800 --> 02:12:50,200
Speaker 1: to happen. I pray it doesn't, but it seems to

2505
02:12:50,280 --> 02:12:51,720
Speaker 1: be a challenge there. Now, how about it?

2506
02:12:51,760 --> 02:12:52,120
Speaker 3: You're right?

2507
02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:56,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, little time will be spent or wasted if

2508
02:12:56,160 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 7: something like that happens, to immediately shift blame, which is

2509
02:12:59,320 --> 02:13:01,120
Speaker 7: what you have to do when you're guilty of doing

2510
02:13:01,240 --> 02:13:05,040
Speaker 7: nothing for it forever. And your whole job is how

2511
02:13:05,080 --> 02:13:07,600
Speaker 7: can I stay in office? And what crisis can I

2512
02:13:07,680 --> 02:13:10,120
Speaker 7: use to help me stay here? It's just I get

2513
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:13,160
Speaker 7: so irritated on both sides in the aisle within activity

2514
02:13:13,200 --> 02:13:15,440
Speaker 7: of things getting done, you know, just like you know,

2515
02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:21,240
Speaker 7: thirty nine trillion, congratulations the national debt. After five months,

2516
02:13:21,320 --> 02:13:24,080
Speaker 7: we went from thirty eight to thirty nine. Thirty three

2517
02:13:24,120 --> 02:13:25,760
Speaker 7: months later, we'll be at forty.

2518
02:13:25,600 --> 02:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Wait at a race. One thousand billion dollars in five months.

2519
02:13:30,880 --> 02:13:34,400
Speaker 1: That's great, real quick here, how much training do the

2520
02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:37,120
Speaker 1: TSA agents go through. It's not like going through police

2521
02:13:37,160 --> 02:13:39,240
Speaker 1: academy where you got like six months and that kind

2522
02:13:39,240 --> 02:13:42,200
Speaker 1: of thing. At least I'm guessing. But insofar as ICE agents,

2523
02:13:42,240 --> 02:13:44,600
Speaker 1: I think they can sit and monitor, like, for example,

2524
02:13:44,720 --> 02:13:47,600
Speaker 1: the do not enter door that does not take a

2525
02:13:47,720 --> 02:13:50,120
Speaker 1: college degree or even a high school degree. You can

2526
02:13:50,200 --> 02:13:51,760
Speaker 1: sit it a chair and say no, you're not allowed

2527
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:53,320
Speaker 1: to come through here. So an ICE agent can certainly

2528
02:13:53,360 --> 02:13:58,000
Speaker 1: handle that. But TSA training, I mean, what risk do

2529
02:13:58,080 --> 02:13:59,920
Speaker 1: we run, putting an ice person where a TSA per

2530
02:14:00,080 --> 02:14:00,880
Speaker 1: than person would be.

2531
02:14:01,720 --> 02:14:04,880
Speaker 7: Well, you could also put somebody at the point where

2532
02:14:04,880 --> 02:14:09,880
Speaker 7: they're greeting and bringing people in and because that is

2533
02:14:09,960 --> 02:14:14,120
Speaker 7: a less technical position as you mentioned, guarding the exit

2534
02:14:14,680 --> 02:14:17,680
Speaker 7: ramps as well as far as the positioning at the

2535
02:14:17,720 --> 02:14:20,520
Speaker 7: security checkpoint. And it's been a while since I've seen

2536
02:14:20,600 --> 02:14:23,240
Speaker 7: the start to finish time of a TSA agent, but

2537
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:27,000
Speaker 7: there's enough that we could bring them into some of

2538
02:14:27,080 --> 02:14:29,640
Speaker 7: the areas that require less training. They're more of an

2539
02:14:29,680 --> 02:14:33,760
Speaker 7: assist type situation. And again, these individuals have been trained

2540
02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:37,600
Speaker 7: in law enforcement, where the TSA officers we call them,

2541
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:40,920
Speaker 7: have not. Because even though the TSA employees look like

2542
02:14:40,960 --> 02:14:45,120
Speaker 7: police officers, they're not. They have no law enforcement power whatsoever.

2543
02:14:46,360 --> 02:14:49,000
Speaker 7: We gave them the uniforms because the morale was low,

2544
02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:53,240
Speaker 7: and we decided to give them uniforms at one thousand

2545
02:14:53,280 --> 02:14:56,880
Speaker 7: dollars a pop many many years ago to give them

2546
02:14:57,040 --> 02:15:00,200
Speaker 7: a better look, more law enforcement, hopefully better respect Act

2547
02:15:00,640 --> 02:15:02,840
Speaker 7: less issues, and that would help the morale.

2548
02:15:03,360 --> 02:15:03,800
Speaker 3: It didn't.

2549
02:15:04,240 --> 02:15:06,320
Speaker 7: So then they said, give them more money, that will

2550
02:15:06,320 --> 02:15:07,000
Speaker 7: help the morale.

2551
02:15:07,200 --> 02:15:07,680
Speaker 3: It didn't.

2552
02:15:08,320 --> 02:15:11,000
Speaker 7: You know, we we've tried everything we can, but back

2553
02:15:11,080 --> 02:15:13,560
Speaker 7: to your question forgive me is but yeah, the the

2554
02:15:13,920 --> 02:15:17,800
Speaker 7: ICE agents are better prepared in many regards to be

2555
02:15:17,840 --> 02:15:21,080
Speaker 7: in a position, especially when things become even though they're

2556
02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:23,640
Speaker 7: not there for law enforcement. They're only acting the TSA

2557
02:15:23,840 --> 02:15:26,880
Speaker 7: role because that always defers back to the airport police

2558
02:15:26,880 --> 02:15:29,520
Speaker 7: when you've got a situation at the airport. But I

2559
02:15:29,680 --> 02:15:33,720
Speaker 7: am totally okay with having these men and women train there,

2560
02:15:33,760 --> 02:15:35,360
Speaker 7: and I love the fact that they're going to help

2561
02:15:35,400 --> 02:15:39,480
Speaker 7: alleviate some of these issues, which again some of the

2562
02:15:39,560 --> 02:15:44,160
Speaker 7: Democrats were actually celebrating these yeah image reports of how

2563
02:15:44,320 --> 02:15:46,000
Speaker 7: bad things were and whose fault it was.

2564
02:15:46,280 --> 02:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, their constituents suffering for one of funding great Jay ratings,

2565
02:15:51,200 --> 02:15:51,600
Speaker 1: Well they.

2566
02:15:51,560 --> 02:15:54,560
Speaker 7: Well they continue to get paid, working and well being

2567
02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:57,760
Speaker 7: president well sometimes yeah, having the title.

2568
02:15:57,520 --> 02:16:00,520
Speaker 1: Of you know, I get we all get where you're going,

2569
02:16:00,640 --> 02:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Jay Radler, God bless you. Look forward to eight thirty

2570
02:16:03,040 --> 02:16:04,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday. We'll bring it back and
