WEBVTT - Mike Allen Saturday Mid-Day -- 1/10/26

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday Midday nasty,

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>rainy Saturday morning. Well, i'll tell you what it's all

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>happening in Minnesota. The big story this week because a

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine year old mother and teacher, her name was

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Renee Nicole Good, because Ms Good didn't follow the instructions

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>of a law enforcement Also, she is now dead tragically,

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and that is truly sad, but not surprising. I mean,

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>these people were itching for a fight for the longest time.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Vice President said, I'm going to quote

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>him directly, it was a tragedy of her own making.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what it was. And like I said,

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the left's been itching for this for months. And why

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you may ask yourself, why the hatred, why the contempt

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for ice officers they're simply doing their jobs. Why do

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>these people continue to advocate for criminals who trespass into

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 1>our country over ordinary citizens like you and I. That's

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>something that I just can't figure out. We are citizens,

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they're not, but they're more concerned with them. Here's just

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 1>an example of the type of person that they want

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to protect. These are the libs that you Sanctuary City

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the whole deal. And this is from the ICE website.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>US Immigration and Customs enforcement officers launched the targeted Enforcement

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Operation in Minnesota December thirty first to locate and apprehend

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a dude named Mahad I'm not even gonna try the

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>middle name yousef. Illegal alien and convicted sex offender from Somaliam,

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>but thanks to the sanctuary pract policies of Minnesota Governor

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Tim Waltz, assumed to be out the program. Governor Tim

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Waltz and this guy, he's getting on my last nerve

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Jacob Fry. This dan criminal was free to prowl

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the streets and victimize Minneapolis residents for years, and you

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>know those are the people that they're concerned about.

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>In addition, he committed a series of horrific crimes, including

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a conviction for criminal sexual conduct in the first degree,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>where he forced his victim to perform oral sex on

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>him multiple times. He was also arrested in twenty sixteen

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>for assaulting the first degree and has an active warrant

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 1>from twenty twenty four to four obstructing police. Now again,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>why are we protecting this guy at the expense of

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>ordinary citizens?

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, why is he more important than us?

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I think a little civics lesson is in order here.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, entering our country illegally, as we know, it's

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a crime. And I'll tell you exactly what crime it is.

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Eighteen United States Code thirteen twenty five. It's one of

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the rare federal statutes that's pretty damn simple. Basically, it

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>prohibits entering the US at any time or place other

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>than as designated by immigration officers. And although they don't

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>call it this, it's a trespass into our country. Pretty simple,

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>one would think that. Well, continuing on the civics lessons here,

0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Congress enacted that law eighteen USC. Thirteen to twenty back

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen fifty two, and they did it to keep

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>people who did not want to become citizens the right way,

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>to keep them the hell out of here. So again,

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>it's been round since nineteen fifty two. So Congress in

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.239
<v Speaker 1>that year, made up then of Republicans and Democrats, as always,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>passed this legislation. Well, continuing in the civics lesson, the

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>next question is who is going to enforce that statue

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that I just read. Of course it's ice it is

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>their job, not just their job but their sworn duty

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to enforce federal law, and that's what they do, or

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>at least try to do.

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 3>And if the Democrats and the looney left.

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't like it, it's just like the Second Amendment, change it,

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 1>change the law, repeal it, and just what the hell

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>let everybody in. If they don't like the law, they

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>can change it. Congress passed it, they can change it.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>But they don't want to do that because they know

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>they won't get the votes needed. Again, just like the

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Second Amendment, repeal it. If you don't like it, good

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>luck with that too. So ICE agents are demonized for

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the simple act of doing their job or doing the

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>job Congress commands them to do by eighteen United States

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Code thirteen to twenty five. Instead, they're called Nazis, neo Nazis, Gestapo, racist, kidnappers, thugs.

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>And here's one that I just found out about the

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>other day that they're called slave members of the slave patrol.

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that nice?

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>So you get members of Congress like Senator Chucky Schumer

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>last week saying that I'm quoting him here.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Ice causes death, ice death.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, while people like you and I, you know,

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>we're out working you got the pink haired, nose ring

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>wearing crowd who all men and women, they all look

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>like Marge Simpson to me, ended out doing their protest thing.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And this week one of them said they were in

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>an argument with somebody, and it must have been an

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>ice officer said, well, you're gonna have to leave or whatever.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>She says, I'm working here, which I mean to me

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>means she's getting paid. And that's what you got now.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, when all the signs, not all of them,

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>but many of the signs look exactly the same, somebody

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>is paying for it. Everything on the left is performative.

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>They sing their silly little songs, chant their infantile slogans

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 1>with no substance whatsoever. I got a clip and I

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>will not make you listen to it very long. Just

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a typical kind of democrat leftist hoot nanny at.

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 3>I think this one was Minnesota. Could you play that please?

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 4>All right?

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>That's enough, you get it. You know they love that song.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>But think about it. This land is your land, and

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>if they're singing it to me, damn straight, it's my land.

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>And if the person singing it saying this land is

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>my land is the United States citizen. Fine, but it's

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>not the land of illegal aliens. They are not supposed

0:07:54.680 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>to be there. You know, you have about half of

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the elected leaders saying basically screw you.

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 3>To us.

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>And to the trespassers, we love you and we'll protect

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>you because he's even though you snuck into our country.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Kind of perplexes you, doesn't it at least it does me.

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'm telling you what, it's getting old. It really is.

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Trump, he cleaned up the mess that Biden

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>left behind. I don't know how many hundreds of thousands

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of people he's gotten the hell out of there. He's

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>got a hell of a lot more to go.

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Another thing that honked me off and bought And I

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'm the only one this situation with the

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>city of Cincinnati wanting to pay out a possible settlement

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>for the family of eighteen year old Ryan Hinton.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 3>He's the guy that was shot in a police.

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Not a shootout, but they all had guns there. He

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>came around, I guess besides a dumpster. Clearly from the video,

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 1>he kind of pointed the gun at the cop and

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he lost his life for that. And again, it's not

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>good when that happens to anybody. But again he put

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>himself in that position. But the big brew haha this week,

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>council wants to pay for that justifiable shooting or justified shooting.

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>County pillach Our County prosecutor, I think wisely said that

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a legitimate police shooting. It's legal. You know,

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you had some on counsel though, and I gotta hand

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it to him. Jeff Kramerning has won. He said, I

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>think the city's position is that the officer has not

0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>done anything wrong. Thank you so much, council Member Kramerding.

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I see nothing in the video contrary to that. I

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>do not feel a settlement is warranted. I think that

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>would send the wrong message to the Cincinnati police. And

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, really that statement from him is really important.

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>There is another council member who's of the same ILK.

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you about him in a minute, but

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I commend Jeff Kramerding for that. He's going to catch

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.679
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of crap from his fellow council members and

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>some of his constituents, but he took a position.

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Seth Walsh, he's another one.

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I met him a couple of weeks ago, pretty impressive

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>young man. Here's what he said. He called the situation abhorrent.

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.599
<v Speaker 1>He talked to the inquirer and he said the community

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 1>is owed an explanation about why the settlement with the

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Hitting family is even on the table and why deliberated

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>apparently without Council's knowledge behind closed doors. Here's what council

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Member Wall said, quote, it's a tremendous disrespect to the

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>families involved, and to make a public spectacle out of

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:15.359
<v Speaker 1>a tragedy.

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the left is real good at that.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Council member, I think it is unconsonable for the City

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>of Cincinnati to be considering a settlement.

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Without the full deliberation of council.

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>The tragedy that unfolded in made devastated our community, and

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>it is our responsibility to heal the wreckage.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Not to create more division.

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what that statement, if there were any Republicans

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>on council, could have come from a Republican. And again,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I met him a couple of weeks ago at some event,

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:53.119
<v Speaker 1>and an impressive young man who obviously thinks for himself,

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>so he got to at least sticking up for the cops.

0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>But and I was interviewed yesterday on the legal end

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of this thing. By Fox nineteen. I mean, here's the deal.

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes municipalities and companies whatever, will throw some money at

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>somebody to get out of them, get around them filing

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>a lawsuit. It's called a nuisance settlement. Something tells me

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>they ain't talking nuisance settlement on this, and that's beside

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the point. And these two council members hit it right

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 1>on the head. They hit the nail right on the head.

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't do that. You can't put that on the cops. Look,

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I did it. I was in this position. Connie Pillich

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 1>made the right call. And it's one of the toughest

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>things a prosecutor has to do, and that is that

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:54.839
<v Speaker 1>that shooting was constitutionally justified. Why in God's name the

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>city of Cincinnati is ready willing and able apparently to

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>h oh open up the vault down there on Plum

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Street and pour money out is beyond me.

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I know why.

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the majority of counsel wants to

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>appease a certain constituency. Hey, at eleven thirty today, we've

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>got FOP President Ken kober Uh, We're gonna give me

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>get him on the line to talk about this and boy,

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 1>he is worked up about it. And I don't blame him.

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, the city gives out money like it's freaking candy.

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, they got they got bopped on the fire chief.

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna get if at the end of the day,

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>if a chief Thiji does not keep her job, they're

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to roll the Brinks truck up to Plumb

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Street down there at City Hall because she's gonna hit

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the jackpot. But she and her family and I and

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of other people want her to

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>continue to be the police chief. Apparently, what happened the

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>law firm that the city hired Frost Brown Todd. Apparently

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>they said, well, we didn't find anything, and so the

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>city managers said, well get out there. You got another month,

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.959
<v Speaker 1>you got till February. See what you can do. That

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>is just outrageous, it really, but it's typical for the

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>city and the left hand never seems to know what

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the right hand is doing with these people. But you know,

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to read one quote from Ken Kober

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and again we're going to have him at eleven thirty.

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.119
<v Speaker 1>This is what he said talking about this whole situation

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>with paying the hinting family. This is an absolute outrage.

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Crime literally pays in Cincinnati under this city manager. It's

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a slap in the face to every law enforcement officer

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>risking their lives, a betrayal of the public trust, and

0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a disgusting messages that's that targeting cops has no consequences.

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 3>And he is so right, he's so right about that.

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>You just you can't do this, and you know, I mean,

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously it wasn't him, but his father the very next

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>day killed a police officer brutally with his vehicle, killed

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a police officer, and the city wants to reward this family. No, no,

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. They're going to bring down the

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>FOP and others. These two council members that have the

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>stones to do the right thing, council Member Walsh and Kramerding.

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you they're going to bring a you know

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>what storm down on the city if the city forks

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>over anything. And they're trying to do it in secret

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to which is something the city's getting pretty darn good at.

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 3>But again we'll talk to Ken. I'm gonna ask him

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 3>about that.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>He is, from what you're ready here, obviously honked off

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>about it and I don't blame them.

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'll tell you what. And we talk about this

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 3>a lot.

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a tough, tough time to be a police officer,

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>especially in a big city like the city of Cincinnati.

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I would do it if I

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>had it to do all over again in today's time.

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 3>It's just it's not the same.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 1>They don't have the officers back, and the officers know that,

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's why they're not getting aggressive.

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 3>We've been over that a thousand times.

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, anyway, I'm losing my voice here, but we do

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 1>have to take a break for the news and I'll

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>get some water.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I'll be okay, Mike Allen.

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Reds fans, get your tickets now for Reds Fest. Hey,

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>just to kind of give you an idea of the

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>show today. I'm going to get to the calls here

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>in just a second. At ten o'clock, though, Jameis Heisel

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Epoch Times, she filed three counting three stories

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>on the fraud scandal in Minnesota. She's all over that,

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like the proverbial white on. Rice Channis is going to

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>update us on that at ten o'clock, then from ten

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty all the way to eleven thirty open lines, full

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>hour of open lines, seven four nine, seven, one, eight hundred,

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the big one. Those are the numbers to call if

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a part. And then at eleven

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 1>thirty I'm looking forward to this. Ken kober Fop Lodge

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine President on the nonsense going on was settling

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 1>with the Hinton family, settling for what. I don't know,

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.679
<v Speaker 1>but we're going to talk to Ken about that. But

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>for now, let's get to the phones. Louise, she's been

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>on the hold I think before I even started today.

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Hey Louise, how you doing?

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Hi? Mike.

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 7>I'm really anxious to talk today because even before this

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 7>recent thing came out with Hinton's wanting a big hand

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 7>out here, earlier in the week, they came out with

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 7>the story that this man I don't even want to

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.600
<v Speaker 7>say his name because it would be a bail word

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 7>right now, but anyway that they sent to him, the

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 7>three shrinks who said he was came up with some

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 7>fake mental case to try to, you know, lessen his sentence. Now,

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 7>the thing that the media is leaving out I want

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 7>your listeners to take note of this. The media is

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 7>in no way when they're talking about this story, the

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 7>media is leaving out the part that his delinquent son

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 7>and I know earlier in the show, Mike, you're saying

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 7>that kid was eighteen.

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:36.360
<v Speaker 8>I'm thinking that.

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 7>Kid was fourteen. First of all, he stole the car.

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.719
<v Speaker 7>Don't forget this kid stole a vehicle. Then when the

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 7>cops caught up with him, he tried to, you know,

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 7>attack the cop. The cop was totally justifiable in that case.

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 7>The prosecutor rolled that. So they're leaving out that part

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 7>of the story. When they're talking about this guy, they

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 7>send some fake shrinks and I hope they're all listening

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 7>to because they're a bunch of fakes. And I had

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 7>called into your show when this idiot ran over mister Henderson.

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 7>Let's not forget the Henderson family. Let's not forget the

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:16.199
<v Speaker 7>Henderson family.

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 9>I called into your show.

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 7>The following week because that was the UC graduation. Were

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 7>all these cops and this idiot passed by dozens of

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 7>black cops and he attacked the white officer Henderson. And

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:37.400
<v Speaker 7>these fake shrinks that are calling this guy mentally unstable,

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.879
<v Speaker 7>I want them to add to that he's a racist.

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 7>He passed by a bunch of black cops to attack

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 7>officer White, Officer Henderson. So I want your listeners to

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.680
<v Speaker 7>realize that this is a two part story. This delinquent

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 7>kids stole a car. And if mister Hinton's listening, what

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 7>the hell kind of father is he that he raised

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 7>the kid that he was fourteen? Mike, I'm almost positive

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 7>this kid was fourteen, and I'm.

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Gonna double check. You may be right about that. I'll

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 3>double check.

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 7>It, right, So let everyone know there's a two parts

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.359
<v Speaker 7>to this story, and this idiot is a racist on

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 7>top of being a horrible father.

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:18.640
<v Speaker 10>That's all I got to say.

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's plenty. Luise, thank you so much for that call.

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Maybe somebody

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>can call and tell me how it makes sense to

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 1>pay that family. You're welcome to drive you want. Let's

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to doctor Dennis in Annapolis. He wants to talk

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.120
<v Speaker 1>about Minnesota. Hey, good morning, Doc.

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 11>Morning Mike. I would just want to make two points

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 11>about this situation in Minneapolis and the ice state officer. One,

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:55.640
<v Speaker 11>if this if this woman that was in the vehicle

0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 11>that that got shot, Yeah, her relatives standing around the

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 11>vehicle like as close as the Ice agents were. You

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 11>can bet she'd have been more careful about moving the

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 11>vehicle at all until they were away from they you know,

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 11>their relatives were away from the vehicle. Ye, she would

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.120
<v Speaker 11>have not. He would have made sure they were safely

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:22.439
<v Speaker 11>away before she even you know, moved an inch right, right,

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 11>and the other point I want to right, and the

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.439
<v Speaker 11>and the other. Yeah, she had no regard for the

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 11>safety of the ice ice officers. And the other point

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.199
<v Speaker 11>I want to make is, you know this, these uh

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 11>leftist protesters there, they all they and this has been

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 11>probably made on other news programs, but they really wanted

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 11>something to happen like what happened with this Renee Good.

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you.

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 11>They Yeah, they needed a martyr. And the whole situations

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 11>ginned up by the you know, the mayor and the

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 11>walls and uh so I they're playing the game. I've

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:09.879
<v Speaker 11>called it, the leftist protester Russian roulette, and they hope

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 11>that it happened something as shooting or something, but it

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 11>just doesn't happen to them in them personally, you see,

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 11>no I a protest about.

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:24.159
<v Speaker 1>It, and you know I heard one this week was

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>being interviewed getting into it with a reporter probably a

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Fox reporter, and I mean something was said along the

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 1>lines of a why are you here?

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Her response, I'm working.

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.399
<v Speaker 1>And again, if you look at it, a lot of

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>them were carrying the exact same signs, which means, yeah,

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't do that for free.

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 3>So I smelled George Soros in it.

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 11>Of course, of course I read just finally I read

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 11>something funny last night. There's a big reason the loon

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 11>is the bird of the state bird of Minnesota.

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that. That's good. I appreciate that. Thank

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.919
<v Speaker 1>you for filling a suit. Okay, boy, I tell you what.

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Some things are just absolutely appropriate, the loon being the

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 1>state bird for Minnesota. I don't know what those people

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>are thinking, man. I mean it's on so many levels.

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you got the treatment of the ice officers,

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 1>then you have this rampant, absolute wait to hear Janis

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>give us an update, just rampant fraud up there that

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>people's governor and attorney general seemed to know about but

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>did nothing because they didn't want to be called racist.

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 1>They didn't want to be are you ready for this

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>called an islamophobe? Boy, how bad would that be? And

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.239
<v Speaker 1>the same thing with their local media up there. They

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>ignored it too. I mean, it's it's the way of

0:23:55.200 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the world, unfortunately this time in history. Who's been on longest?

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me talk to Berry in Miamisburg. Hello, Berry, good morning.

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 9>How's it going, sir?

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Pretty good? How about you?

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:11.400
<v Speaker 9>Pretty good?

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 12>I have a legal question for you. I was, Yeah,

0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:21.719
<v Speaker 12>someone who lives in Cincinnati could sue the city of

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 12>Cincinnati to prevent that massive payout.

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And I saw that's what you wanted to talk about.

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about it. There is provision I believe,

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>for a taxpayer lawsuit against the municipality. But you know,

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 1>during the break, if I can, I got my trustee

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Google here, I'll see what I can find out there.

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:48.480
<v Speaker 1>There might be, but I just don't know for certain.

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Berry.

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 12>You know, I live in another part of the state,

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 12>so I have no standing. But I was wondering if

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:56.840
<v Speaker 12>somebody could do that.

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, he it's if somebody can do it, I think

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 1>they will do it if the city persists, because I mean,

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:11.359
<v Speaker 1>this just HiT's normal people, normies like us, the wrong way.

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, giving that family money after what happened is

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>just bull crap.

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 6>That and giving those protesters money, Ah.

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, talk to mister Soros about that.

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 12>Take your pick. You know, the city ought to prevent

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 12>that from happening.

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know what, and like I said, when I

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>saw that, I was thinking about it. I'm gonna on

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 1>a break. I'll double check and see what I can

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>find out. But it's a very good, very timely and

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 1>appropriate question.

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 12>All right, Well, thank you, sir, and have a nice.

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Say Okay, thank you. All right, let's talk to Ransom

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 1>up in Columbus. Hey, good morning, how you doing.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 13>You're more in Mike Kids always I love your programs

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:08.400
<v Speaker 13>and I'm I'm I'm sort of like incognito, your reporter

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:11.960
<v Speaker 13>from the Columbus area, connecting Cincinnati of.

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 9>This every week, you know. So basically, I wanted to

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 9>give your listeners a little history about you know, you

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 9>know of all, you know, all of a sudden, Columbus,

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:25.359
<v Speaker 9>Ohio pops out the news about why we have so

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 9>many Somalians. We have they're guestimating somewhere between forty and

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 9>sixty thousand Somalians. So how did that happen to Columbus, Ohio. Well,

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.439
<v Speaker 9>we've had two Democratic mayors. It's all started with a guy.

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Named Mike Coleman.

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 9>About going to it, probably about twenty five years ago.

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 9>So the deal was, he comes up with this idea,

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 9>we need to bring more people into Columbus to make

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 9>it more you know, socially and culturally diverse, and even

0:26:57.440 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 9>all the de Ice cuff was happening back in the

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.439
<v Speaker 9>twenty five years ago. So but the other thing is,

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 9>and as you know most Democrats, what they're looking for

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:09.160
<v Speaker 9>is they're looking for the hidden the hidden candy, which

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 9>was federal dollars. So it's been estimated that he was

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 9>getting somewhere between eighteen hundred and thirty five thousand dollars

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 9>of a person from Somalia to bring them in. So

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 9>that's how basically we've grown into a large SMO community

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 9>second to Minnesota. Here's here's the issue. This seems to

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 9>be a cultural thing about most of them. Now I'm

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 9>not going to generalize them. Is here's here's where the

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 9>rub comes. As you talk very eloquently every week that

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:46.159
<v Speaker 9>the every man and woman, common person paying their taxes.

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 14>We pay for everything.

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 9>Okay, that's what makes everybody upset.

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:50.880
<v Speaker 14>And this is why it's.

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:51.400
<v Speaker 10>Hitting a fan.

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 9>Now, if this money was going to people legitimately, we

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:59.239
<v Speaker 9>have no problem in the United States, taking care of

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 9>the or friends, the prisoners, the widows, uh, kids without

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 9>come to dead all. I mean, we're a very generous country.

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:10.160
<v Speaker 9>But if you're if you're going to screw us from

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:13.360
<v Speaker 9>people that don't want to assimilate to our culture. They

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.400
<v Speaker 9>don't want to learn how to speak English if they

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:20.120
<v Speaker 9>want to be on welfare. Well, like they were stating

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 9>the Washington, uh meetings they're having right up there, the

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 9>uh you know, the the the Republicans are doing a

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 9>uh trying to get the facts basically about you know, what's.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:35.120
<v Speaker 3>The congressional investigation. Yeah.

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, this is probably what Jane is going to be

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 9>sharing with the lot of us too. And man, she's

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 9>such a great report. I would love her to dig

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 9>into Columbus because, uh, you know, we're not as bad

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 9>as Minnesota, but we do have that stuff. And the

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 9>current mayor he's just useless. His name is Andrew Gunther,

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 9>and he is For instance, he has said we are

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 9>a sanctuary city, uh, but yet has never come out

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 9>and been bold enough to say worse sanctuary said so

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 9>in other words, everything's under the rug, you know. And

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 9>and he's patronizing this and then it is a political

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 9>it's a political coup. These Democrats, they do this, letting

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 9>them b Johnson told some of his cronies. He told

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 9>anybody that was running for office back in his day, says,

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 9>you got to learn how to pad the box.

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yet the ballot box.

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 3>They're padding it up there.

0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Unfortunately, Ransom, I got to get some of these

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>other callers. But okay, thanks for keeping us posted on Columbus.

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>If you would continue to do that, I'll.

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Take your call every time, all right.

0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, it's basically long story short is that we've

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 9>probably got people that have been on welfare for over

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 9>ten years or more and that abuse. If they could

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 9>just get the abuse on accountability happening, then I think

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 9>people would calm down a little bit more.

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, I got you got God bless you mana

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 2>you Yeah.

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean Ramson just said the word that it sums

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it all up as to the solution for this crap,

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's accountability. And Tampon Tim is not being accountable. Uh,

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Attorney General is not being accountable at all.

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 1>And boy, I'm here, Ellison, Keith Ellison, I'm here, and

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>there might be some stuff dropping on him. I'm gonna

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 1>ask Janis about that when I talked to her in

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Hey, let's talk to Ryan in Hamilton. Hey,

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>how you doing Ryan?

<v Speaker 1>She was no, no, no, no no no, I'm not

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:50.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna let you.

<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. He let me ask you something. How

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>many of these kind of shootings did you have to

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>rule it on?

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually nobody's ruled on any of these.

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the point I'm trying to make is I'm

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>not a know at all, but I've been there, I've

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 1>done that, and that is a good shooting.

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Now let me say this. Will you shut up, Let

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 3>me say this. Let me say this.

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Please, okay, go back fine and talk about pampon tim

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and talking.

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Like you're out of here and you're out of here.

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what, learned how to be civil and you can.

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:54.959
<v Speaker 1>I love going back and forth with these guys, but

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>they don't give you a chance.

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 3>What I was gonna say before, you.

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Know, he the torrent of interruptions was I wasn't real

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>sure about it until I saw that last video. And

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 1>there's more evidence too, which makes it clear that that's

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 1>what that woman intended to do. And it is a

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>tragedy that she's gone. Apparently she has kids too, but

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a tragedy of her own making. Like the Vice

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>president said, please, if you disagree with me, please call,

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>but let's have a discussion going back and forth. Oh

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what. Hey, let's talk to Ken in Cincinnati. Hey, Ken,

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 1>how you doing all right?

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 14>Mike?

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 15>I do want to say happy new Year and maybe

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 15>prosperous and healthy to everyone out there real quick. When

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 15>they call us islamophobe, I call them Christian phobes.

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh they can't do.

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:53.280
<v Speaker 14>That, Boby.

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:55.320
<v Speaker 11>So hey, you know what what they are.

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 3>They're immune from criticism.

0:32:57.040 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Ken, don't you know that you're not a lot of

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 1>criticize them.

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 15>And the other thing too. The main reason why I

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:10.479
<v Speaker 15>was calling is in the insurance businesses. Someone gets killed

0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 15>while they're committing a crime, the insurance policy is not.

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Going to pay the family.

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 15>So I'm tired of the city selling these cases with

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:24.719
<v Speaker 15>people who are involved in criminal activity. And that includes

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:29.360
<v Speaker 15>an eight point two million dollars settlement ugy so called

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 15>people mostly peaceful riots we're doing. So I hope someone

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 15>does folow a lawsuit uh to uh to contest that,

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 15>because it's just really crazy.

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 11>And then this whole thing with the latest with the

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:45.440
<v Speaker 11>hinting case.

0:33:45.800 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 14>If the guy was involved.

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 15>In still in a car in criminal activity, but for that,

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 15>none of this will be happening.

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 1>You're right, and I appreciate the call and bumping up

0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>against the news.

0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 3>All right, God bless you man, you too, thank you,

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 3>thank you.

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know getting back to that last caller,

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you want a debate, let's debate. That's

0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>what makes the world go around. But it turned into

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 1>a shouting match pretty quickly. Let's see, you know what

0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.919
<v Speaker 1>we are bumping up against the news. When we get back,

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk to Janis Heiseel. She's going to

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 1>give us an update. She filed three different stories this

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:25.839
<v Speaker 1>week out of Minnesota. We'll get that, and then from

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:29.359
<v Speaker 1>ten thirty to eleven thirty open lines for those of

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you that are on hold. If you continue to hold,

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll get y'all first, and we'll do that. Like I

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 1>said at ten thirty, we'll break for the news here

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and then come back with Janis Heisel from the Epoch

0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Times seven hundred WLW, News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Allen with our two Saturday Midday. Well, our next stress

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to tell us that there's more going on

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:06.360
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota than these protests. The investigation into the massive,

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>unprecedented fraud in that case continues. Janie Heisel of the

0:35:12.560 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Epoch Times filed three stories on that subject this week,

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 1>and she's here to talk with us.

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Janis, thanks so much for calling in.

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely Thank you so much, Mike for having me. Before

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:29.320
<v Speaker 4>we dive into the stories that I wrote, I would

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 4>like to take just a quick minute and tell the

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 4>listeners to please say a prayer for my colleagues who

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 4>are actually in Minnesota right now and amid all.

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 16>The character things that are going on, you.

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:46.760
<v Speaker 4>Know, they there are reports from some of my colleagues

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:49.319
<v Speaker 4>and other people there, other media people I've heard from that,

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:53.319
<v Speaker 4>you know, when they've been kind of collateral damage. There's

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 4>been some less lethal munitions fired in the area when.

0:35:57.400 --> 0:35:58.600
<v Speaker 2>It you know, then the.

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Shopner or actually the ubber bullets will hit some members

0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 4>of media, and.

0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, it's really tough.

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 4>And I also wanted to point out the importance of

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 4>responsible media coverage and how a lot of citizens are

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:16.320
<v Speaker 4>pushing back when things may not be that way. I

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 4>would like to point out from the Cincinnat enquire I.

0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:19.440
<v Speaker 16>Don't usually do something.

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Like this, but my husband pointed this one out. Here's

0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 4>the Facebook post. It says ice officers shot and killed

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:32.320
<v Speaker 4>a woman observing ice activity in Minneapolis. In response, Cincinnati

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 4>joined national protests. Yeah, as you can imagine, citizens went

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 4>off in the comments.

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what, and you're right, And usually I

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>don't see that filtering down to local media.

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Jannis.

0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, in all my time, I think they've been

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmingly fair and unbiased.

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 3>It's mainly the national media.

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's very appropriate for you to make that comment,

0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and I appreciate you letting us know.

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just thought people would like to know that,

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, that's out there and there are people voiceeing

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 4>their opinion about that. So if you look, if you're

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 4>on Facebook, take a look at that, unless maybe and

0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 4>him changed it by now, but I have a screenshot

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 4>of it. So anyway, Yeah, I'm glad to talk about

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 4>the stories that I've written. And yes, I like to

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:20.239
<v Speaker 4>do more than just a sensational headline, right, I like

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 4>to look into what really is happening below.

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:24.040
<v Speaker 16>The surface as much as I can.

0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Yep, you do it. You do that. Well, let me

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 3>ask you.

0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Your first story that I read Medicaid will claw back

0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 1>fraud funds at doctor Oz. I guess had a press

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:38.880
<v Speaker 1>conference about it, and his was about Medicare Medicaid I

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 1>forget which one. And they're digging into that one thing

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I saw in that story. Jannis his agency, Doctor Oz's

0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:52.440
<v Speaker 1>agency can't find Ah, it's not really that much. Only

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 1>five hundred million dollars in these Medicare slash Medicaid payments.

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:00.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's just one believable.

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 4>Again, every time I think my jaw can't drop open anymore, ye, yeah,

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:11.360
<v Speaker 4>latest news coming out of here, it does. And actually

0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Trump has pointed out that the fraud across our country,

0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 4>not just Minnesota. But one of the things about Minnesota.

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 4>That does make it stand out is per capita, the

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:27.200
<v Speaker 4>suspected and documented fraud is really really high for a

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:32.840
<v Speaker 4>smaller state in parison to say California per person per capita,

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:35.720
<v Speaker 4>if we cost that out, I don't have those figures

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 4>in front of me, and it's something we're still working on,

0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know if I can even get my

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 4>arms around it.

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:40.839
<v Speaker 2>It's too big.

0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:44.279
<v Speaker 1>It's just hard to fathom at some point. And you know,

0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:46.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, doctor Oz said, good for him for saying,

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:49.160
<v Speaker 1>is he's going to try to claw back the funds.

0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet when it comes to restitution if there's a

0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 1>criminal conviction, there ain't gonna be a lot of money

0:38:56.480 --> 0:39:00.799
<v Speaker 1>to give back, unfortunately, because they spend that already. But

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:03.200
<v Speaker 1>tell us a little bit more about what doctor Oz

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:04.400
<v Speaker 1>had to say this week.

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 4>Well, he said that, look, you know, why should we

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 4>give you any more money if you don't have the

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:15.520
<v Speaker 4>controls in place to make sure that this money is

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:18.640
<v Speaker 4>actually going for the intended purpose. That's the bottom line

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 4>on that one.

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:24.319
<v Speaker 3>And is it Medicare or medicaid? Janis I should know

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 3>medicaid Medicaid?

0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, Yeah, the other all stories are good This

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:37.360
<v Speaker 1>is extremely interesting. Minnesota agency staff backdated records as auditors

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 1>found failures. I mean, that's big time bad and probably

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:47.920
<v Speaker 1>criminal if they Ohio has a statue for tampering with records.

0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:51.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the story on that, I mean, how how are

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 1>they doing it backdating the records? If you know from

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:58.160
<v Speaker 1>within your story, Well, there was.

0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:01.360
<v Speaker 4>A hearing where there's a person called the Office of

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:05.960
<v Speaker 4>the Legislative Auditor and this this is an agency. It's

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 4>like a watchdog agency that's been within their Minnesota government

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:11.640
<v Speaker 4>for many years and their job is to kind of

0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 4>spot check different agencies, uh, to make sure that they

0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 4>have financial controls in place, things that again, make sure

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.400
<v Speaker 4>that the money is going for the intended purposes, that

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 4>they have the t's crossed, eyes dotted, things like that,

0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 4>and uh so when they went into this agency, it's

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 4>a division of the Department of Human Services, which is

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:35.480
<v Speaker 4>in essence the welfare department. Uh, the Department of Behavioral

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Health is supposed to uh take care of some needs

0:40:39.800 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 4>for people who have substance abuse and things like that

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:47.320
<v Speaker 4>and uh disabled and things like mentally mentally, uh people

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.719
<v Speaker 4>with mental disorders and take care of those people.

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:51.319
<v Speaker 3>And I think all of us, you know.

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Would support those uses of funds. But when you go

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.799
<v Speaker 4>in there and you're trying to make sure that that

0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:59.840
<v Speaker 4>money is going for those purposes, and then when you

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:03.360
<v Speaker 4>start asking for records and they go, okay, where's the

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 4>proof that you visited and provided services or that the contractor?

0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:11.600
<v Speaker 4>They administer grants and I think it was like between

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 4>two hundred million and over three hundred million per year.

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:18.280
<v Speaker 4>This agency is in charge of doling out grant money

0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:21.000
<v Speaker 4>to various providers. They go in and they go, well,

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 4>where's the proof that this agency.

0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Provided this service?

0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Yea, And then they created a record and they said, well,

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:32.200
<v Speaker 4>we just forgot at the time of the visit to

0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:36.040
<v Speaker 4>document that we were there, you know, making sure that

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 4>this company was providing the contracted service under.

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>The grant money.

0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, you talked about the legislative auditor Judy Randall.

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 1>She in your story, she's quoted in her twenty seven

0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:54.320
<v Speaker 1>years of working for the watchdog agency. Randall said, quote,

0:41:54.800 --> 0:42:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I have never seen this before. Multiple employees fabricated the records,

0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:04.760
<v Speaker 1>she said, so we do believe it was a systemic effort.

0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's big time fraud. If you've got a

0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 1>bunch of people involved in it, which it looks like

0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the case there.

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, I remember one fact is that it was in

0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 4>February of twenty twenty five that they were that a

0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 4>record was created after the audits began, and they were

0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 4>documented visits that happened several months prior, and so that

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:34.400
<v Speaker 4>is a huge concern. And one of the things that

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 4>was surprising to me that I hope to have time

0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:40.359
<v Speaker 4>to follow up on is they did not say during

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:45.879
<v Speaker 4>the hearing whether what kind of action, if any, would

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:50.480
<v Speaker 4>be taken against the multiple individuals that she the Legislative

0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:56.439
<v Speaker 4>Auditor identified as being these backdating you know, creating.

0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Records and at the same time they're going after whistleblowers. Yeah,

0:43:00.880 --> 0:43:04.759
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make any sense, but it's not surprising. Just

0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:07.320
<v Speaker 1>one more thing from that story, Janus, I want to

0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:11.399
<v Speaker 1>read just a short paragraph that you wrote talking about

0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:16.520
<v Speaker 1>James Comber and the Congressional House Oversight Committee hearings and

0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:20.560
<v Speaker 1>James Comer you're talking about Comber highlighted a specific concern.

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:27.759
<v Speaker 1>The report discloses one grantee received nearly seven hundred thousand

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars for a single month of work, yet couldn't provide

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 1>auditors with documentation proving that amount was justified. I mean,

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's stunning in its brazenness.

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:45.759
<v Speaker 4>Did you note the part where it actually came up

0:43:45.840 --> 0:43:49.760
<v Speaker 4>during a congressional hearing the head of the Oversite Committee,

0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 4>James Comber, pointed out, quote, here's the kicker. I remember

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:56.680
<v Speaker 4>he said that the employee who approved that particular grant

0:43:57.440 --> 0:44:02.200
<v Speaker 4>left the government agency and took job later on with

0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 4>the place for which he said, you can have the money.

0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, you know, the blind leading the blind.

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, seven hundred thousand dollars kind of adds up,

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'd like to have a job where I can

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 1>earn that for a single month of work.

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:20.080
<v Speaker 3>It just gets worse up.

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, really, let's both go there, Mike what he say?

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready, man, I'm ready. Okay, the most comprehensive. You're

0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:30.640
<v Speaker 1>all your stories are comprehensive, But boy, the one four

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:33.600
<v Speaker 1>takeaways from the fraud congressional hearing that we were just

0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:37.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about, you break it down into four separate things, Janie.

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:40.319
<v Speaker 1>First one being national discussion.

0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 3>This is a key point. Can you kind of tell

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:44.239
<v Speaker 3>us what you're thinking on that?

0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 11>Well?

0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.919
<v Speaker 4>I think that you know, a representative Hudson. I don't

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:52.920
<v Speaker 4>have that story in front of me, but he really

0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:55.680
<v Speaker 4>put it very well. He described and you know, if

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 4>maybe you haven't it in front of you, Mikey, you

0:44:57.160 --> 0:44:59.400
<v Speaker 4>can describe what is his exact words for because I

0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:01.080
<v Speaker 4>don't want to misquote him.

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 3>You're talking about Comber.

0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Representative Hudson. He was from He's from Minnesota, and he

0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:10.759
<v Speaker 4>was one of the three major witnesses who testified. There

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.200
<v Speaker 4>was a fourth witness, but he didn't say a whole lot.

0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 4>And Representative Hudson is on the fraud Prevention Committee in Minnesota,

0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:21.080
<v Speaker 4>and I just I feel like.

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:22.440
<v Speaker 16>That he put it well. If you don't have it

0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:24.320
<v Speaker 16>in front of you, we can you know.

0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would rather have him say it to me.

0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:28.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking forward to here.

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Janis a lot with Comer and then the Republican lawmakers,

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Kristin Robbins, Walter Hudson, Marion Rerick.

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Is that what you're talking about the very first subhead

0:45:40.080 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 4>and that is okay?

0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, he's he.

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Was amazing and I just want to, you know, I

0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.600
<v Speaker 4>don't want to, you know, put any words in his mouth.

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, it says they testified at the hearing along with

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:58.239
<v Speaker 1>the fourth witness Brendan Belou, a former federal prosecutor and

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:03.759
<v Speaker 1>native Minnesota. So, I mean, obviously these people are legislative

0:46:03.800 --> 0:46:06.399
<v Speaker 1>people and they're keeping an eye on it. I guess

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:09.440
<v Speaker 1>if you broke it down between good guys and bad guys,

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:10.919
<v Speaker 1>these people are the good guys.

0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't you say, well, I don't want.

0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:16.920
<v Speaker 4>To, you know, opine on that. You know, but I

0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:21.439
<v Speaker 4>will tell you that this hearing ended up being kind

0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:25.480
<v Speaker 4>of devolved into some shouting matches where some of the

0:46:25.560 --> 0:46:28.600
<v Speaker 4>people on the other side of the political aisle were

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:32.359
<v Speaker 4>raising questions about things that were not relevant at all

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 4>to Minnesota fraud. For example, they were bringing up January sixth,

0:46:37.560 --> 0:46:39.600
<v Speaker 4>and I'm kind of like, what does that have to

0:46:39.680 --> 0:46:42.040
<v Speaker 4>do with Minnesota product? That was what the witnesses were

0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 4>pushing back. And then then that ends up where the

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:47.759
<v Speaker 4>person in Congress is yelling at the witnesses thing.

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:49.719
<v Speaker 16>It's my time, I get my time back, and just.

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, back and forth.

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:54.840
<v Speaker 4>And so anyway, the key point that you know, I

0:46:54.960 --> 0:46:58.600
<v Speaker 4>found the quote he said, the national conversation has been

0:46:58.719 --> 0:47:02.200
<v Speaker 4>fraught with distractions about personalities and parties and politics. They're

0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:05.880
<v Speaker 4>trying to say this is all just Republicans coming after Democrats.

0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:12.320
<v Speaker 4>He said that basically that they a lack of oversight

0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:15.719
<v Speaker 4>for Minnesota's generous benefit programs. Maybe easy for people to

0:47:15.840 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 4>quote certain benefits into business.

0:47:17.760 --> 0:47:19.560
<v Speaker 16>That's the phrase I was hoping you would say.

0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Because people need to know that is systemic. They want

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:26.840
<v Speaker 4>to turn benefits into business, according to Representative Hudson, and

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:31.880
<v Speaker 4>that the state developed a culture of profiting from government

0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:36.719
<v Speaker 4>programs and perpetuity not as a safety net, but as

0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:38.920
<v Speaker 4>an industry. He said it, and I could not put

0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 4>that any better.

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:40.160
<v Speaker 16>I am sorry.

0:47:40.239 --> 0:47:44.239
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to give words because he is, you know,

0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:47.320
<v Speaker 4>there in the state. I am not, And I just

0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:49.400
<v Speaker 4>could not have put it any better than that. He

0:47:49.600 --> 0:47:51.640
<v Speaker 4>sees it from the inside and had seen.

0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:52.120
<v Speaker 2>It for years.

0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:54.880
<v Speaker 16>I'm kind of trying to come lately on the scene.

0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 4>So and there's even a cottage industry where consultants earn

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 4>living by helping people get benefits.

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I saw that in your story.

0:48:05.440 --> 0:48:05.640
<v Speaker 16>Yeah.

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 3>I want to make sure I get this in here.

0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:11.520
<v Speaker 1>One of the things to me is just shocking your

0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:14.920
<v Speaker 1>section about whistleblowers punished and intimidated.

0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you know about that? Janis?

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:21.719
<v Speaker 4>Oh, well, the thing that stood out to me most

0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:24.480
<v Speaker 4>that I had not heard yet. I heard about whistleblowers

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 4>being punished and threatened in things, and reassigned different jobs,

0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:32.560
<v Speaker 4>and all of that, you know, really bad enough. But

0:48:32.840 --> 0:48:36.000
<v Speaker 4>then there were there's an email that was entered into

0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:39.200
<v Speaker 4>the congressional record that shows that a leader of the

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Welfare Department sent out to several other people at least

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:49.320
<v Speaker 4>a veiled threat, if not actual statement. I don't have

0:48:49.440 --> 0:48:52.520
<v Speaker 4>the email, I've asked for it that says we want

0:48:52.560 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 4>to use military intelligence to have the exact.

0:48:56.200 --> 0:49:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Locations I saw that, unbelieva. Let me just read a

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:06.440
<v Speaker 1>couple sentences here from your story. You are quoting Rareck here.

0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Their collective message has been completely consistent. Instead of focusing

0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on fraudsters, DHS leadership instead focuses its focus is its

0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:23.720
<v Speaker 1>surveillance on employees. After one whistleblower raised concerns, she faced

0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a lengthy investigation, was escorted out of the building and

0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:33.879
<v Speaker 1>transferred involuntarily to another state agency. Just a couple more

0:49:33.920 --> 0:49:37.440
<v Speaker 1>sentences here, Jess. Other employees have reported being threatened with

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:41.279
<v Speaker 1>being fired, being blacklisted from all state agencies.

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:43.319
<v Speaker 3>And this is what you just said.

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>This floored me, and receiving a veiled threat of the

0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:52.360
<v Speaker 1>use of military intelligence against them. Now that's got to

0:49:52.360 --> 0:49:54.759
<v Speaker 1>be a federal crime in and of itself, I would think.

0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I did say a couple of congressmen at the

0:49:59.040 --> 0:50:02.280
<v Speaker 4>hearing did raise the possibility that such actions have proven

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:06.920
<v Speaker 4>could constitute criminal conduct. So I don't even know, like

0:50:07.400 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 4>if if there are enough prosecutors to look.

0:50:12.000 --> 0:50:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Into all of this.

0:50:13.760 --> 0:50:18.400
<v Speaker 4>The problems are so deep and wide that one of

0:50:18.480 --> 0:50:20.360
<v Speaker 4>the prosecutors is the guy who has been kind of

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:22.840
<v Speaker 4>like the lead prosecutor on the Minnesota front. And this

0:50:23.040 --> 0:50:25.400
<v Speaker 4>is the point I want to make sure people realize

0:50:25.600 --> 0:50:29.480
<v Speaker 4>this didn't happen overnight. There have been alarms raised about this,

0:50:29.640 --> 0:50:32.719
<v Speaker 4>and that's another key point that's been missed. Alarms have

0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:37.479
<v Speaker 4>been raised about this for a decade or more, right, Yeah,

0:50:38.560 --> 0:50:43.759
<v Speaker 4>and they get ignored and so literally they This prosecutor

0:50:43.840 --> 0:50:46.800
<v Speaker 4>has been in charge of most of these cases, especially

0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:49.760
<v Speaker 4>this main one called Feeding Our Future, which, to remind

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:53.399
<v Speaker 4>the listeners, was the case where people were claiming during

0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:57.040
<v Speaker 4>the pandemic era, to provide meals to kids that they

0:50:57.160 --> 0:50:59.600
<v Speaker 4>ordinarily would have gotten in schools that schools were closed

0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:03.360
<v Speaker 4>because of the COVID pandemic, and they weren't providing the

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:05.319
<v Speaker 4>meals that they were just pocketing the money and doing

0:51:05.360 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 4>other things with it.

0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:07.719
<v Speaker 16>Basically up to the tune.

0:51:07.480 --> 0:51:10.520
<v Speaker 4>Of now three hundred and ten million is the latest.

0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:12.360
<v Speaker 16>Prosecutions are still.

0:51:12.200 --> 0:51:17.879
<v Speaker 4>Continuing, and they began in twenty twenty two, after investigations started.

0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 16>The year prior. So that is this prosecutor that was

0:51:20.480 --> 0:51:20.920
<v Speaker 16>in charge of.

0:51:21.000 --> 0:51:23.600
<v Speaker 4>All of that said at one point he could have

0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:24.799
<v Speaker 4>one thousand.

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 16>Prosecutors and still stay busy.

0:51:26.719 --> 0:51:28.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading it now and I read it last night.

0:51:29.800 --> 0:51:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask It's impossible to answer. I guess I

0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:35.520
<v Speaker 1>wonder if that was tongue in cheek or he actually

0:51:36.000 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 1>believed that. I mean, with what's going on there and

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the lack of oversight, maybe they would need a thousand prosecutors.

0:51:42.480 --> 0:51:45.520
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's incredible. Hey, we only have a couple minutes.

0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, a couple of minutes. I thought I want

0:51:48.239 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask you a couple things. First, what's

0:51:51.800 --> 0:51:56.320
<v Speaker 1>next in Minnesota? Secondly, what are you hearing about Columbus?

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Because I kind of thought last week there'd be a

0:51:59.719 --> 0:52:02.680
<v Speaker 1>big week up there of discovery. There was a little

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:04.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of a blit, but then I didn't hear anything,

0:52:04.719 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 1>so you have two and a half minutes.

0:52:07.280 --> 0:52:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Janis okay. So what's next for Minnesota is that the

0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Fraud Committee is probably going to have a hearing sometime

0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:17.320
<v Speaker 4>this month. Now, who knows, they may not have it.

0:52:17.760 --> 0:52:20.480
<v Speaker 4>It's this unrest and the clashes between the ICE and

0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:24.000
<v Speaker 4>the protesters continue, so we'll see if they are going

0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.880
<v Speaker 4>to have a hearing. I will be covering that for certain.

0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 4>I know there is an additional congressional hearing that is

0:52:30.640 --> 0:52:34.520
<v Speaker 4>planned coming up in the month of February where Governor

0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:40.279
<v Speaker 4>Wall of Minnesota, if people are aware, may remember that

0:52:40.440 --> 0:52:43.600
<v Speaker 4>recently he announced he is not continuing his bid for

0:52:43.719 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 4>reelection for a third term Darnick. He and the Attorney

0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:51.600
<v Speaker 4>General Keith Ellison from Minnesota have been a subpoena or there.

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:51.920
<v Speaker 16>Have been seveena.

0:52:51.960 --> 0:52:53.839
<v Speaker 4>They take it back, they may be subpoena, but they've

0:52:53.880 --> 0:52:57.120
<v Speaker 4>been asked to come February tenth to a hearing in

0:52:57.280 --> 0:52:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Congress before that oversight committee.

0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:04.200
<v Speaker 16>So that's what's what's next on deck for Minnesota.

0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:07.840
<v Speaker 4>Other than the crazy unrest. Now in Columbus, I actually

0:53:07.880 --> 0:53:11.120
<v Speaker 4>did take a trip up there with a photographer on Tuesday.

0:53:11.600 --> 0:53:13.480
<v Speaker 4>I have not finished my report on that, and I

0:53:13.520 --> 0:53:15.360
<v Speaker 4>don't want to steal too much of my own thunder,

0:53:15.640 --> 0:53:18.880
<v Speaker 4>but I will say I went into the Somali community

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:21.600
<v Speaker 4>and I was able to get a few interviews. Many

0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Somalis were afraid to talk to me or would not

0:53:24.880 --> 0:53:28.279
<v Speaker 4>or could not speak English very well. But the ones

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:31.120
<v Speaker 4>that I did speak to, I really got some pretty

0:53:31.200 --> 0:53:34.480
<v Speaker 4>interesting stuff. And there's been some videos that have surface

0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:37.440
<v Speaker 4>where people are, you know, doing kind of like the

0:53:37.520 --> 0:53:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Nick Shurly thing and alleging this business. You know, But I,

0:53:41.760 --> 0:53:44.279
<v Speaker 4>in my opinion to like need him to take one

0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:47.839
<v Speaker 4>visit and a place. One place I went, for example.

0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:49.560
<v Speaker 16>I could hear children inside, so I know there were

0:53:49.680 --> 0:53:50.600
<v Speaker 16>children in there.

0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but who knows, maybe there are five children in

0:53:53.480 --> 0:53:56.279
<v Speaker 4>there and they're building for twenty you know. I don't

0:53:56.320 --> 0:53:58.640
<v Speaker 4>have the authority to go barging into a place, and

0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:01.880
<v Speaker 4>it did to me. Yeah, so that's kind of I

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 4>will have a story coming up next.

0:54:03.520 --> 0:54:04.080
<v Speaker 16>Week on that.

0:54:04.440 --> 0:54:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, we will look forward. And again, this is invaluable, Janis.

0:54:09.000 --> 0:54:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're giving out information that I don't think

0:54:12.120 --> 0:54:15.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of reporters in this country know or have

0:54:15.480 --> 0:54:18.279
<v Speaker 1>bothered to do the work on so and I can't

0:54:18.280 --> 0:54:21.080
<v Speaker 1>tell you how many times I get Hey, you know,

0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I listened to you and Janis Heisel's really got that

0:54:24.239 --> 0:54:24.799
<v Speaker 1>story down.

0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Pat.

0:54:25.320 --> 0:54:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's all a long way of saying, I

0:54:27.440 --> 0:54:28.919
<v Speaker 3>really appreciate what you're doing.

0:54:30.400 --> 0:54:32.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I appreciate being on the air to

0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:34.160
<v Speaker 4>talk about it because I do think that people in

0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:37.480
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati really need to be informed in back people across

0:54:37.520 --> 0:54:41.360
<v Speaker 4>the country. So thank you again for the opportunity, and

0:54:42.560 --> 0:54:44.480
<v Speaker 4>We're all going to definitely stay tuned and I'll keep

0:54:44.520 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 4>working as.

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:45.480
<v Speaker 16>Hard as a can.

0:54:45.840 --> 0:54:50.640
<v Speaker 1>That sounds good, Jans, thank you. All right, boy, I'll

0:54:50.680 --> 0:54:54.360
<v Speaker 1>tell you what. That's some good information. It just it's frightening,

0:54:54.520 --> 0:54:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it really is. And I think she would have said

0:54:57.719 --> 0:54:59.919
<v Speaker 1>if I would have asked her, they've only scratched the serp.

0:55:00.080 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 1>It's up there, but pretty bad. Hey, listen, we got

0:55:03.360 --> 0:55:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to take a break. I'm already late for the news.

0:55:05.719 --> 0:55:08.600
<v Speaker 1>When we get back. Your calls and those are the

0:55:08.760 --> 0:55:12.200
<v Speaker 1>all hold I'm going to get them first. Mike Allen Saturday.

0:55:11.880 --> 0:55:14.280
<v Speaker 4>Midday sixteen rules you would recruit Look.

0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Gallen Saturday Midday as promising, I'm gonna get to the phones.

0:55:17.800 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 3>This won't take long at all. I did do some research,

0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:23.759
<v Speaker 3>some down and dirty research over the break about the

0:55:23.920 --> 0:55:28.560
<v Speaker 3>question of whether a taxpayer can sue the City of

0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Cincinnati to prevent them giving any money to the Hinton family.

0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking about all morning, and I tell you

0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the first thing that pops up is AI, and I

0:55:39.200 --> 0:55:42.520
<v Speaker 1>have found AI to be accurate and fair. Okay, here's

0:55:42.560 --> 0:55:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the short answer. Yes, an Olio taxpayer can potentially sue

0:55:48.440 --> 0:55:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a municipality over a settlement, but it's complex. Usually requires

0:55:53.120 --> 0:55:56.200
<v Speaker 1>showing misuse of funds well that would be right on

0:55:56.280 --> 0:56:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the money, or illegal activity, and often depends on the law.

0:56:00.600 --> 0:56:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Exceptions to this is this would be the problem. Two

0:56:05.480 --> 0:56:10.000
<v Speaker 1>exceptions to sovereign immunity. Uh, that's you'd have to get

0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:10.560
<v Speaker 1>around that.

0:56:11.400 --> 0:56:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:15.759
<v Speaker 1>When a taxpayer can sue a common basis is if

0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the municipality is misusing taxpayer money, failing duties, engaging in

0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:25.520
<v Speaker 1>illegal acts under the revised code. And then just one

0:56:25.600 --> 0:56:30.719
<v Speaker 1>more thing on the sovereign immunity thing. Municipalities have immunity,

0:56:31.000 --> 0:56:35.880
<v Speaker 1>meaning they can't be sued easily, requiring the taxpayer to

0:56:36.160 --> 0:56:40.080
<v Speaker 1>fit it into a specific legal exception. And there there

0:56:40.120 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 1>are quite a few exceptions to sovereign I you need,

0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:45.719
<v Speaker 1>but you'd have to find one. So I think the

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 1>answer is, yes, you can, but it won't be easy.

0:56:50.840 --> 0:56:53.160
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I wanted to make sure that I had

0:56:53.239 --> 0:56:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that down. Hey, let's talk to Roger in Milwaukee.

0:56:57.719 --> 0:56:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Hello, Roger, thank you.

0:56:59.560 --> 0:57:04.360
<v Speaker 17>Hey, I'm in Columbus. First of all, on the insurance issue,

0:57:05.239 --> 0:57:09.440
<v Speaker 17>Usually the insurance policies, I understand, have the ability to

0:57:09.560 --> 0:57:12.879
<v Speaker 17>override what the city wants to do, so the city

0:57:13.000 --> 0:57:17.160
<v Speaker 17>might not want to settle, but oftentimes the final decision

0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:18.480
<v Speaker 17>is with the insurance company.

0:57:18.600 --> 0:57:20.160
<v Speaker 2>So give some thought to that.

0:57:20.320 --> 0:57:24.920
<v Speaker 3>That's that's interesting, Roger. I didn't know that. I mean,

0:57:25.000 --> 0:57:28.800
<v Speaker 3>it's the city's money. But you sound like you know

0:57:28.880 --> 0:57:31.760
<v Speaker 3>what you're talking about. Are these things, these kind of

0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:36.480
<v Speaker 3>claims against the city, Usually they get the money from

0:57:36.600 --> 0:57:39.000
<v Speaker 3>the insurance and not from the general fund.

0:57:40.000 --> 0:57:42.800
<v Speaker 17>Well, Cincinnati could be self insured, you know, they might

0:57:43.000 --> 0:57:47.240
<v Speaker 17>not even have an insurance company, and if it's viewed

0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:51.760
<v Speaker 17>as an intentional tort, their policy may not cover. But

0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:55.160
<v Speaker 17>I by no means I'm an expert, but general information.

0:57:55.440 --> 0:57:57.880
<v Speaker 17>But you know, I wanted to get back to if

0:57:57.960 --> 0:58:00.480
<v Speaker 17>I could just in the situation with the audit mobile

0:58:00.640 --> 0:58:03.800
<v Speaker 17>and all one has to do is take a look

0:58:03.840 --> 0:58:08.000
<v Speaker 17>at the world. How many people have used vehicles as weapons? Okay,

0:58:09.040 --> 0:58:14.640
<v Speaker 17>it's an obvious issue of throughout Germany, you're wherever you

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:19.080
<v Speaker 17>want to look. Vehicles have always been used as weapons.

0:58:19.400 --> 0:58:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It's at all and police officers have died in them,

0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:26.640
<v Speaker 1>cars driven into it.

0:58:27.320 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry all the time.

0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:33.680
<v Speaker 17>So split second decision making me. She put herself in

0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:37.160
<v Speaker 17>this situation and unfortunately she.

0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Paid a high price for it.

0:58:38.440 --> 0:58:40.400
<v Speaker 17>And then my final comment, and wouldn't mind knowing a

0:58:40.440 --> 0:58:41.040
<v Speaker 17>little bit of your.

0:58:40.960 --> 0:58:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Thoughts on this.

0:58:42.440 --> 0:58:45.120
<v Speaker 17>Let's assume Milwaukee is a city of what maybe two

0:58:45.200 --> 0:58:45.800
<v Speaker 17>million people?

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Would you say, let's say two million, million and a half,

0:58:49.760 --> 0:58:54.120
<v Speaker 2>So you have about five hundred people showing up to

0:58:54.320 --> 0:58:56.200
<v Speaker 2>be worked up and so forth, and then.

0:58:56.080 --> 0:59:00.880
<v Speaker 17>The media calls it chaos. Believe me, five hundred people,

0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:05.480
<v Speaker 17>half who are on payroll is not chaos. I'm not

0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:09.400
<v Speaker 17>diminishing the numbers. But what five hundred, seven hundred and

0:59:09.440 --> 0:59:11.640
<v Speaker 17>fifty were out last night in Milwaukee out of a

0:59:11.720 --> 0:59:13.320
<v Speaker 17>city of maybe two million?

0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:16.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I know, I know, and I think it's safe

0:59:16.800 --> 0:59:17.400
<v Speaker 6>to say that.

0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:22.760
<v Speaker 17>It's orchestrated and the vast majority of the people are

0:59:22.800 --> 0:59:25.800
<v Speaker 17>too busy, trying to make a living, going to work,

0:59:25.880 --> 0:59:29.360
<v Speaker 17>raising kids. All that to be concerned about seven hundred

0:59:29.360 --> 0:59:32.440
<v Speaker 17>and fifty people, half of whom are probably on some

0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:34.880
<v Speaker 17>form of a payroll and picked up the same sign

0:59:34.960 --> 0:59:36.280
<v Speaker 17>they got in Portland.

0:59:36.400 --> 0:59:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Is the same sign they have in Milwaukee? Yep? Any

0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:40.760
<v Speaker 2>sense for my thinking?

0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I'll tell you what I think you're I

0:59:43.960 --> 0:59:46.080
<v Speaker 3>gotta let you go, but I'll answer your question. Thank

0:59:46.120 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 3>you for that call. That was a good call.

0:59:48.600 --> 0:59:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:59:48.880 --> 0:59:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you look at it, you do see

0:59:52.000 --> 0:59:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them with the same kind of signs,

0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. So they're on somebody's payroll. My guess

0:59:57.240 --> 1:00:01.120
<v Speaker 1>it would be Soros or one of his. But you know,

1:00:01.520 --> 1:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the thing of it is the media. It's an interesting

1:00:04.200 --> 1:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>thing to cover, it's an interesting thing to get film on.

1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's why they flock to it. But he's right,

1:00:11.520 --> 1:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>people need to keep it in perspective. I mean, these

1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>are the college professors and the students that the college

1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>professors get all wound up. They're not I don't believe

1:00:23.480 --> 1:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>ordinary citizens like we are. You know, that's a statement

1:00:27.840 --> 1:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty general. But uh, you know, they don't have

1:00:30.960 --> 1:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>real jobs that they have to go to So that's

1:00:34.400 --> 1:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>just me. Uh, I am going to talk to Terry

1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>who disagrees with me, which is which is fine. Hey Terry,

1:00:40.480 --> 1:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>how you doing?

1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:44.320
<v Speaker 14>Hey? My, come on, I listen to you every week.

1:00:44.760 --> 1:00:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

1:00:45.640 --> 1:00:47.320
<v Speaker 14>I know you're not that bad a person because I

1:00:47.400 --> 1:00:51.320
<v Speaker 14>see you on my my cousin's kids fundraising things all

1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:52.200
<v Speaker 14>the time for their church.

1:00:52.280 --> 1:00:58.200
<v Speaker 3>So okay, I think that's my alma mater.

1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:01.320
<v Speaker 18>All right, well, I always see you whenever they got

1:01:01.400 --> 1:01:05.560
<v Speaker 18>a fund raiser on there. With that said, a few thanks,

1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:10.360
<v Speaker 18>I'll run to the quick pamp on tim. That came

1:01:10.440 --> 1:01:15.280
<v Speaker 18>about because the small rural schools up there, sometimes girls

1:01:15.320 --> 1:01:18.280
<v Speaker 18>had to use the boys locker rooms. I've got four

1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:22.000
<v Speaker 18>daughters that play sports. I live in a rural neighborhood. Like,

1:01:22.120 --> 1:01:24.160
<v Speaker 18>if that gets you guys that worked up, you don't

1:01:24.200 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 18>care about girls sports that much. I know the nickname

1:01:27.280 --> 1:01:30.479
<v Speaker 18>is funny, but well that's just that's just the truth

1:01:30.560 --> 1:01:30.720
<v Speaker 18>of it.

1:01:30.760 --> 1:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>There, here's the thing that and that's the first I've

1:01:33.200 --> 1:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>ever heard of that, and I believe, well again, it's

1:01:38.040 --> 1:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>not really based on anything that I think the reason

1:01:41.200 --> 1:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>he did it was to play kate those who think

1:01:44.560 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that men should be in women's sports.

1:01:47.120 --> 1:01:48.840
<v Speaker 3>But you know what, just for the heck of it.

1:01:49.400 --> 1:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll drill down on that later. But it's an interesting question.

1:01:54.160 --> 1:01:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Ah man, he took off. I wonder why he did that.

1:01:59.280 --> 1:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean we were they having a decent discussion. Oh man, Well, anyway,

1:02:04.880 --> 1:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I tried.

1:02:06.400 --> 1:02:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's see, let's talk to Tim. Hey, how you doing, Tim?

1:02:09.840 --> 1:02:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Good morning?

1:02:12.680 --> 1:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Tim?

1:02:13.080 --> 1:02:13.600
<v Speaker 5>Are you there?

1:02:13.720 --> 1:02:14.000
<v Speaker 18>Buddy?

1:02:14.760 --> 1:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Hello?

1:02:15.200 --> 1:02:15.439
<v Speaker 9>Tim?

1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:17.960
<v Speaker 19>Tim?

1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, he's out here. Call back Tim if you can.

1:02:22.680 --> 1:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Doug in northern Kentucky, Let's talk to him.

1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Doug, how you doing.

1:02:27.440 --> 1:02:27.919
<v Speaker 20>I'm doing?

1:02:28.120 --> 1:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Just wonderful.

1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:34.720
<v Speaker 21>Just an observation on my part. I was just at

1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:39.560
<v Speaker 21>the post office in Florence, Kentucky, and there was probably

1:02:40.040 --> 1:02:44.840
<v Speaker 21>thirty to forty African Americans, the elderly. There was an

1:02:45.160 --> 1:02:51.640
<v Speaker 21>African guard applying for post or having a brain cramp.

1:02:53.000 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Post office sports, oh, passports okay, yeah.

1:02:56.800 --> 1:02:59.440
<v Speaker 21>And that just seemed odd to me because I've never

1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:02.440
<v Speaker 21>been to the post office, and I go there quite often.

1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:05.600
<v Speaker 21>Were more than maybe one or two people were there

1:03:06.080 --> 1:03:07.320
<v Speaker 21>trying to get passports.

1:03:08.560 --> 1:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting. They usually I've gotten a passport. I had

1:03:12.840 --> 1:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to a couple of times because of course I lost

1:03:14.840 --> 1:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>it the first time. You got to go jump through

1:03:18.200 --> 1:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>some hoops. But it's not that big of a deal.

1:03:20.720 --> 1:03:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1:03:21.200 --> 1:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe it could be a sports team or something.

1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, But you're right, that is a bit unusual.

1:03:27.800 --> 1:03:32.080
<v Speaker 21>It's just that they had one line for general post

1:03:32.160 --> 1:03:36.280
<v Speaker 21>office duties, and then they had another line which was

1:03:36.800 --> 1:03:42.040
<v Speaker 21>out in the main lobby for passports, and they were

1:03:42.080 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 21>all interested in American and again summoned African garb interesting.

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:49.880
<v Speaker 21>I just found that. And you just had that woman

1:03:50.240 --> 1:03:54.920
<v Speaker 21>on there, the investigative reporter. I don't know her name, sorry,

1:03:56.480 --> 1:03:59.920
<v Speaker 21>And I just thought that might be something shem want

1:04:00.120 --> 1:04:00.640
<v Speaker 21>looking too.

1:04:01.000 --> 1:04:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, and what post off office was it, Doug,

1:04:04.320 --> 1:04:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember if you say it was Florence, Florence.

1:04:07.240 --> 1:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, well I'll tell you what. If you hear

1:04:10.000 --> 1:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>anything more, call us back. But that does seem somewhat unusual.

1:04:15.360 --> 1:04:20.320
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, and on your individual you had earlier that wouldn't

1:04:20.360 --> 1:04:24.880
<v Speaker 21>let you talk. Yeah, I just seemed very similar to

1:04:24.960 --> 1:04:27.760
<v Speaker 21>the conversation that the ice agent had with that woman

1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:31.160
<v Speaker 21>who got shot and that guy. It just seemed the

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:33.840
<v Speaker 21>mind frame of them two people were very similar.

1:04:34.080 --> 1:04:36.640
<v Speaker 3>It is it is, Hey, I appreciate the call.

1:04:37.760 --> 1:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks.

1:04:38.640 --> 1:04:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Doug.

1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's like I've said, I literally mean from the

1:04:42.320 --> 1:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>first show that I ever did here the arrogance of liberals.

1:04:46.880 --> 1:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>They're never wrong about anything. They will never consider the

1:04:50.680 --> 1:04:54.959
<v Speaker 1>other person's point of view. They're right, and damn the torpedoes.

1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:57.919
<v Speaker 1>They have a right to do anything that they want

1:04:58.520 --> 1:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to further their cause, and that is a big part

1:05:02.520 --> 1:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>of the problem with these people.

1:05:04.360 --> 1:05:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's see. Oh Terry's back. Hey, we lost you.

1:05:10.080 --> 1:05:12.000
<v Speaker 3>How you doing good?

1:05:12.080 --> 1:05:12.240
<v Speaker 9>Hey?

1:05:12.280 --> 1:05:15.480
<v Speaker 14>I don't know what happened there. Sorry, Okay, second thing,

1:05:16.240 --> 1:05:18.480
<v Speaker 14>I guess you can consider me an arrogant liberal. I

1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:19.720
<v Speaker 14>don't consider myself.

1:05:19.480 --> 1:05:23.120
<v Speaker 3>That, but you don't sound eric if you want to categorizing.

1:05:24.360 --> 1:05:25.160
<v Speaker 14>We all agree we.

1:05:26.280 --> 1:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't like fraud, right, don't like what?

1:05:28.120 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, do you say fraud roud? Okay, yes, sir,

1:05:31.600 --> 1:05:31.960
<v Speaker 3>we don't.

1:05:32.200 --> 1:05:35.440
<v Speaker 14>Okay. Maybe James Heiseel can do an in depth reporting,

1:05:35.600 --> 1:05:40.000
<v Speaker 14>like a twenty five item reporting on the twenty five

1:05:40.080 --> 1:05:42.480
<v Speaker 14>people that have been convicted of fraud that Trump is

1:05:42.920 --> 1:05:43.680
<v Speaker 14>pardoned this year.

1:05:45.120 --> 1:05:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Fair story. I mean, that's a fair story. I don't

1:05:48.000 --> 1:05:49.280
<v Speaker 3>know that it's twenty five.

1:05:49.560 --> 1:05:51.920
<v Speaker 14>Some of his it might be twenty three.

1:05:52.040 --> 1:05:52.760
<v Speaker 11>You might have me there.

1:05:52.760 --> 1:05:56.320
<v Speaker 14>Okay, some of the people prosecuted, we're prosecuted by his

1:05:56.480 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 14>own people, and then he parted them.

1:05:58.760 --> 1:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I know there's a big one. There's a big fish

1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that he pardoned and caught a lot of crap for it.

1:06:04.120 --> 1:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna drill.

1:06:04.880 --> 1:06:09.200
<v Speaker 14>Down on it and see, all right, last thing, I'll

1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:12.440
<v Speaker 14>go through this past. But you're uniquely qualified because you're

1:06:12.440 --> 1:06:16.720
<v Speaker 14>a prosecutor and a defender. Right, yes, sir, if you're

1:06:16.760 --> 1:06:19.920
<v Speaker 14>a prosecutor, and just say Trump's the head of police.

1:06:19.960 --> 1:06:23.000
<v Speaker 14>And he comes on and says, this guy was so

1:06:23.200 --> 1:06:25.640
<v Speaker 14>brave he got ran over. He's lucky to be alive.

1:06:26.880 --> 1:06:29.240
<v Speaker 14>Everybody saw the video. We know that's not what happened.

1:06:30.240 --> 1:06:33.280
<v Speaker 14>Wendy Vance comes out and says that he has immunity.

1:06:34.400 --> 1:06:36.640
<v Speaker 14>Christy Numb comes out and says that this woman was

1:06:36.720 --> 1:06:41.480
<v Speaker 14>a domestic Harris. There's a third camera, Mike that came

1:06:41.520 --> 1:06:44.480
<v Speaker 14>out yesterday. That's across the street. That's the ring camera. Yeah,

1:06:44.960 --> 1:06:47.160
<v Speaker 14>this woman had been sitting there for less than two

1:06:47.400 --> 1:06:51.160
<v Speaker 14>or three minutes. She's waving the ice guy long. One

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.080
<v Speaker 14>ice guy says, get out a car. One ice guy

1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:57.800
<v Speaker 14>tells her to keep going. There's witnesses that attest to that,

1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:00.760
<v Speaker 14>and the video shows that the guy who shot her,

1:07:01.680 --> 1:07:04.160
<v Speaker 14>who's using a cell phone for whatever reason. I'm sure

1:07:04.200 --> 1:07:08.640
<v Speaker 14>that's not police standard issue. That that guy never was

1:07:08.680 --> 1:07:12.840
<v Speaker 14>touched by that car. It's clear evidence. It's it's out

1:07:12.880 --> 1:07:13.800
<v Speaker 14>there if you want to see it.

1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>No, I do, and let me ask you. You would

1:07:16.640 --> 1:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>never let me ask you, Terry. Did you see the

1:07:20.080 --> 1:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>last one that came out. I think it was last night.

1:07:23.880 --> 1:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's the one that sensed it for me

1:07:26.320 --> 1:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that I mean, that's what it looks like where.

1:07:28.960 --> 1:07:32.760
<v Speaker 14>He's holding in his camera. I don't call there's one

1:07:32.840 --> 1:07:35.600
<v Speaker 14>directly behind it is from like a ring doorbell that

1:07:35.760 --> 1:07:36.120
<v Speaker 14>shows it.

1:07:36.400 --> 1:07:38.560
<v Speaker 18>He's not he doesn't get hit.

1:07:38.680 --> 1:07:40.640
<v Speaker 14>Mike, I'm not. I would never want to be a

1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:42.840
<v Speaker 14>cop because I'd never want to be in this situation. Sure,

1:07:43.240 --> 1:07:46.280
<v Speaker 14>but I think it's just really reckless for our leaders

1:07:46.360 --> 1:07:49.240
<v Speaker 14>to come out and say all this stuff instead of

1:07:49.360 --> 1:07:52.400
<v Speaker 14>just waiting, Like if you're the prosecutor, why don't you

1:07:52.480 --> 1:07:54.200
<v Speaker 14>want them to say, like, hey, we're going to review

1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:56.960
<v Speaker 14>all the evidence. You know what, you might be guy

1:07:57.160 --> 1:07:57.640
<v Speaker 14>ran over.

1:07:57.880 --> 1:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>You might be surprised here, Darren. For the most part,

1:08:00.360 --> 1:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. I hated to see that. I mean,

1:08:04.400 --> 1:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>in those kind of things, they can be complex. I

1:08:07.440 --> 1:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know that this one was. But you know, you

1:08:09.760 --> 1:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>got to gather the evidence, uh, and put the evidence

1:08:13.680 --> 1:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>against the law and see if it fits or not.

1:08:16.240 --> 1:08:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you on that one, but I do

1:08:18.240 --> 1:08:18.560
<v Speaker 3>have to go.

1:08:18.720 --> 1:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate the call, and I appreciate I appreciate, I

1:08:21.760 --> 1:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the stability.

1:08:24.439 --> 1:08:27.200
<v Speaker 14>What's that, miss Glenn Mason?

1:08:27.720 --> 1:08:29.720
<v Speaker 3>I know I missed him a lot.

1:08:29.880 --> 1:08:30.040
<v Speaker 7>Man.

1:08:30.360 --> 1:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what you debate with that guy, you

1:08:32.720 --> 1:08:35.599
<v Speaker 1>better know what you're talking about. I missing you can

1:08:35.680 --> 1:08:37.759
<v Speaker 1>be how about you be the new Glenn Terry.

1:08:37.800 --> 1:08:38.120
<v Speaker 3>How's that?

1:08:41.240 --> 1:08:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you too? Thank you? Okay.

1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>As lawyers say, there's exhibit A as to how to

1:08:51.439 --> 1:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>conduct a debate, I mean, it wasn't really a debate,

1:08:54.520 --> 1:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>but back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,

1:08:57.120 --> 1:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. That's how you do it. And I

1:09:00.120 --> 1:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that, and I appreciate his call. I think I

1:09:03.040 --> 1:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>got time for one more. Mark's been holding on forever.

1:09:07.760 --> 1:09:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Hey Mark, Hey, good morning, Mike.

1:09:10.320 --> 1:09:10.600
<v Speaker 14>How are you.

1:09:10.880 --> 1:09:11.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm good? I'm good.

1:09:11.880 --> 1:09:12.680
<v Speaker 2>What you got, hey?

1:09:13.439 --> 1:09:15.719
<v Speaker 6>A couple of things, you know, I just past week

1:09:16.080 --> 1:09:20.160
<v Speaker 6>got to experience the legal system sitting on a jury

1:09:20.600 --> 1:09:23.000
<v Speaker 6>and making having to make a decision, and a jury

1:09:23.720 --> 1:09:26.479
<v Speaker 6>where the focus of the whole thing and one of

1:09:26.520 --> 1:09:31.040
<v Speaker 6>the key issues was intent, intent of the crime. And

1:09:32.000 --> 1:09:33.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, when you sit there and think about it

1:09:34.120 --> 1:09:36.639
<v Speaker 6>and you put the cop or the officer or whatever

1:09:36.720 --> 1:09:40.160
<v Speaker 6>in that position intent, you know you have to make

1:09:40.200 --> 1:09:43.080
<v Speaker 6>a split second decision of what the intent is. Is

1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:45.320
<v Speaker 6>that person going to shoot you, is that person going

1:09:45.400 --> 1:09:45.840
<v Speaker 6>to hit you?

1:09:46.040 --> 1:09:46.800
<v Speaker 2>What are you going to do?

1:09:47.800 --> 1:09:51.240
<v Speaker 6>And I think it's reckless for anybody to sit there

1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:54.160
<v Speaker 6>and say make a point they knew what's going through

1:09:54.240 --> 1:09:56.559
<v Speaker 6>somebody's mind, because you don't.

1:09:57.040 --> 1:10:00.000
<v Speaker 11>And I think the bottom line.

1:09:59.840 --> 1:10:02.439
<v Speaker 6>Here with all these problems, all these issues that we

1:10:02.600 --> 1:10:06.360
<v Speaker 6>see is that the one one issue here is that

1:10:06.600 --> 1:10:08.960
<v Speaker 6>we have a we have an officer of the law,

1:10:09.320 --> 1:10:13.800
<v Speaker 6>be an ice agent or whatever, who basically gave an

1:10:13.960 --> 1:10:17.960
<v Speaker 6>order to stop, and people not obeying the cop. And

1:10:18.520 --> 1:10:22.160
<v Speaker 6>that's why, that's why we give police officers badges. When

1:10:22.200 --> 1:10:24.280
<v Speaker 6>a cop asked you to do something, you have to

1:10:24.400 --> 1:10:27.320
<v Speaker 6>do it. And if you don't comply, more times than not,

1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:30.880
<v Speaker 6>bad things happen here. And I don't know why that's

1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:33.160
<v Speaker 6>so hard for people to understand that if you have

1:10:33.280 --> 1:10:36.160
<v Speaker 6>a problem, then that's why we have a legal system

1:10:36.240 --> 1:10:38.280
<v Speaker 6>after the fact to go back and see if you

1:10:38.400 --> 1:10:40.599
<v Speaker 6>were wrong. But if a cop tells you to stop,

1:10:41.200 --> 1:10:43.880
<v Speaker 6>you stop. And I don't know how many of these

1:10:43.960 --> 1:10:47.200
<v Speaker 6>instances we've seen, probably most of them, where an officer

1:10:47.360 --> 1:10:49.640
<v Speaker 6>told somebody to do something and they didn't, then it

1:10:49.840 --> 1:10:53.280
<v Speaker 6>escalated into a bigger issue. And that's what I experienced

1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:57.679
<v Speaker 6>in the jury the past week. An officer was told

1:10:57.800 --> 1:11:00.920
<v Speaker 6>told somebody to stop and do something, they didn't comply,

1:11:01.240 --> 1:11:04.400
<v Speaker 6>It got, it got violent, and bad things happen.

1:11:06.520 --> 1:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you comfortable. Are you comfortable saying what the verdict is.

1:11:09.160 --> 1:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just curious. You don't have to if you don't

1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>want to.

1:11:12.479 --> 1:11:12.599
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1:11:13.120 --> 1:11:16.920
<v Speaker 6>I would say that one, you know one uh one

1:11:17.080 --> 1:11:19.240
<v Speaker 6>charge innocent, others charge guilty.

1:11:19.520 --> 1:11:23.439
<v Speaker 16>Okay, so okay, But again, intent was the big.

1:11:23.360 --> 1:11:26.200
<v Speaker 6>Issue on both of those where one you really couldn't

1:11:26.240 --> 1:11:29.479
<v Speaker 6>determine what the intent was or was And I mean,

1:11:29.560 --> 1:11:32.080
<v Speaker 6>I guess you know the old adages was it the

1:11:32.240 --> 1:11:35.280
<v Speaker 6>unreasonable doubt? And you know, in my opinion, it wasn't.

1:11:35.520 --> 1:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, you gotta you gotta do what you gotta do.

1:11:38.840 --> 1:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get going here, though, I appreciate you hanging

1:11:41.760 --> 1:11:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in there. I appreciate you serving on a jury. You

1:11:44.600 --> 1:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't believe how many people want to get out of

1:11:47.280 --> 1:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>doing that.

1:11:47.960 --> 1:11:49.479
<v Speaker 3>So I appreciate you.

1:11:51.120 --> 1:11:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, Michael, Okay, thank you.

1:11:53.320 --> 1:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know what, I figured that that was going

1:11:55.320 --> 1:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>to come up sometime today. The way, there's a case

1:11:59.880 --> 1:12:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it was in the late eighties, Graham versus Connor.

1:12:03.880 --> 1:12:08.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the Supreme Court case that determines liability for police

1:12:08.479 --> 1:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>officers in these type of things.

1:12:10.160 --> 1:12:12.880
<v Speaker 3>And the Supreme Court was smart enough to.

1:12:12.920 --> 1:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Write into their decision you got to view it from

1:12:15.760 --> 1:12:19.599
<v Speaker 1>the officer's perspective. What just like the College just said,

1:12:19.640 --> 1:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>what is in his mind at the time, and it

1:12:23.479 --> 1:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>is split second. So anyway, it's Graham versus Connor. It's

1:12:28.120 --> 1:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>really an unusual case and that it's readable even for attorneys.

1:12:34.760 --> 1:12:37.320
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, Hey, you got to break for the news.

1:12:37.360 --> 1:12:40.280
<v Speaker 3>When we get back, I'm going back to the phones.

1:12:41.040 --> 1:12:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Mike Allen, Saturday Midday, our three of the Saturday Midday

1:12:45.880 --> 1:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>program got Ken Cobra FOP President coming up at eleven thirty.

1:12:51.400 --> 1:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>We've got open lines here, but if you would just

1:12:53.680 --> 1:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>please indulge me, I promise it won't take that long.

1:12:57.200 --> 1:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>This thing has been sticking in my craw from earlier

1:13:00.479 --> 1:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>in the week. Do you remember the judge in Milwaukee

1:13:05.479 --> 1:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>that there was an illegal immigrant in her courtroom. I

1:13:10.880 --> 1:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even remember what that person was there for, but

1:13:14.360 --> 1:13:18.519
<v Speaker 1>at any rate, the judge shepherded to this guy through

1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>her back door, and I guess somebody helped him escape

1:13:23.960 --> 1:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and they got him. They got him a little bit later.

1:13:26.000 --> 1:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>But the judge, her actions were just abominable. Well, anyway,

1:13:31.920 --> 1:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>she lost her job, she left the band. She's trying

1:13:34.600 --> 1:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to make herself a hero, saying I'm doing this for

1:13:38.600 --> 1:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>her exact words, and this is from an up ed

1:13:42.439 --> 1:13:44.479
<v Speaker 1>in the Wall Street Journal. I am pursuing this fight

1:13:44.560 --> 1:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>for myself and for our independent judiciary, she says, I

1:13:50.120 --> 1:13:54.200
<v Speaker 1>am the subject of unprecedented legal proceedings. I am pursuing

1:13:54.280 --> 1:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>this fight for myself and our independent judiciary.

1:13:58.200 --> 1:13:59.040
<v Speaker 2>You know what that is?

1:13:59.240 --> 1:14:00.519
<v Speaker 3>Such boy crap.

1:14:01.240 --> 1:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>She committed a crime, she I believe, went a trial,

1:14:06.120 --> 1:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm not sure was a jury trial, and

1:14:09.320 --> 1:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>found guilty.

1:14:10.760 --> 1:14:11.920
<v Speaker 3>You can't do that.

1:14:12.880 --> 1:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>You can't do it as a citizen. You certainly cannot

1:14:16.400 --> 1:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>do it as a judge.

1:14:18.120 --> 1:14:18.840
<v Speaker 3>And she says.

1:14:19.680 --> 1:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>At the end of this thing, Judge Dugan says, her

1:14:23.040 --> 1:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>case threatens the quote independence of our judiciary. And again

1:14:28.400 --> 1:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>this is the Wall Street Journal op ed. But her

1:14:30.800 --> 1:14:35.679
<v Speaker 1>actions intentionally helped a migrant accused of assault for federal

1:14:35.760 --> 1:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement. Her example is a sad commentary, a sad

1:14:40.840 --> 1:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>but necessary lesson to other judges who let partisanship trump

1:14:45.479 --> 1:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>their obligations as officers of the court.

1:14:49.439 --> 1:14:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Well done, Wall Street Journal. This woman is no hero.

1:14:53.760 --> 1:14:55.360
<v Speaker 3>She's no hero whatsoever.

1:14:55.720 --> 1:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>She's not pursuing the fight for an our dependent judiciary.

1:15:01.800 --> 1:15:05.800
<v Speaker 1>We do have an independent judiciary. Judges can't break the law, though,

1:15:06.200 --> 1:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Judge Dugan, and and I'm sorry you lost your job.

1:15:09.920 --> 1:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But uh, perhaps judges, if this ever happens again, or

1:15:14.840 --> 1:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>any elected official, public official is in a position to

1:15:18.080 --> 1:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>do that, they don't do it. So she's got nobody

1:15:20.840 --> 1:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to blame it herself. Okay, let's see. Let's talk to

1:15:23.640 --> 1:15:28.360
<v Speaker 1>fran In Mason. Hey, frank to good good?

1:15:28.479 --> 1:15:30.360
<v Speaker 6>How you doing nor good?

1:15:30.439 --> 1:15:30.599
<v Speaker 11>Hey?

1:15:30.680 --> 1:15:35.320
<v Speaker 10>I was trying to call the three congress people that

1:15:36.120 --> 1:15:41.400
<v Speaker 10>voted to continue to spend money wastelessly. And guess what

1:15:41.680 --> 1:15:45.000
<v Speaker 10>if you try to call a US congress person you're.

1:15:44.920 --> 1:15:46.040
<v Speaker 5>Not going to be able to do it.

1:15:46.720 --> 1:15:51.080
<v Speaker 3>What was this locally, friend or Minnesota? That's this is

1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:52.200
<v Speaker 3>here in Ohio.

1:15:52.720 --> 1:15:56.559
<v Speaker 10>Really, Yeah, you try to call a congress person their

1:15:56.840 --> 1:15:59.040
<v Speaker 10>quote voicemail isn't working.

1:16:00.360 --> 1:16:02.240
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy, man, that's crazy.

1:16:02.439 --> 1:16:02.920
<v Speaker 10>That's crazy.

1:16:03.200 --> 1:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Usually, I mean I've done it before, not for a while,

1:16:06.160 --> 1:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and boom, I get a real human being right off

1:16:09.240 --> 1:16:09.639
<v Speaker 1>the bat.

1:16:10.640 --> 1:16:12.519
<v Speaker 3>That's an all three.

1:16:12.360 --> 1:16:14.360
<v Speaker 14>Of them, huh, all three of them.

1:16:14.439 --> 1:16:18.960
<v Speaker 10>So just as an fyi, hey, also, just your newscaps

1:16:19.479 --> 1:16:24.720
<v Speaker 10>the news at ten thirty blames the measle epidemic.

1:16:25.320 --> 1:16:28.680
<v Speaker 2>This is WLW reporting this, okay, on.

1:16:29.560 --> 1:16:34.680
<v Speaker 10>People not vaccinating their kids of a disease that was

1:16:34.760 --> 1:16:36.599
<v Speaker 10>eradicated years ago.

1:16:38.120 --> 1:16:39.479
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, it's our fault.

1:16:39.680 --> 1:16:44.720
<v Speaker 10>His parents not to inject young babies for something that

1:16:44.800 --> 1:16:49.280
<v Speaker 10>they didn't need. They didn't blame the twenty million people

1:16:49.400 --> 1:16:52.720
<v Speaker 10>that came from the armpit of the world into our

1:16:52.800 --> 1:16:56.920
<v Speaker 10>country who were not vaccinated, who may carry who knows

1:16:57.040 --> 1:16:57.719
<v Speaker 10>what disease.

1:16:58.240 --> 1:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>No, I understand that, and I have in the course

1:17:01.280 --> 1:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of doing this job a number of times people have

1:17:04.240 --> 1:17:06.720
<v Speaker 1>not agreed with the newscast. The thing of it is

1:17:07.000 --> 1:17:10.519
<v Speaker 1>that's separate from the talk radio part of it. I

1:17:10.640 --> 1:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>do hear what you're saying, and I appreciate you letting

1:17:13.240 --> 1:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>me know.

1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Yep, Okay, thank you God bless man.

1:17:17.720 --> 1:17:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay you two frand thanks.

1:17:19.600 --> 1:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know.

1:17:20.320 --> 1:17:23.360
<v Speaker 1>There are two separate things, but I get what he's saying. Hey,

1:17:23.479 --> 1:17:27.439
<v Speaker 1>how's about Jay in Centerville? Hey, good morning, Jay?

1:17:27.520 --> 1:17:35.400
<v Speaker 3>How are you Jay there? I'm good, I'm good. What

1:17:35.560 --> 1:17:36.200
<v Speaker 3>you got for me?

1:17:37.240 --> 1:17:39.040
<v Speaker 20>Oh you know, I'm the I'm the one that's the

1:17:39.160 --> 1:17:43.600
<v Speaker 20>people refugee from the people's public Portland. A lot of

1:17:43.680 --> 1:17:49.160
<v Speaker 20>DejaVu with Minnesota. Yeah, craziness. I called it to respectfully

1:17:49.240 --> 1:17:54.200
<v Speaker 20>disagree with your caller. Okay, So two things. I saw

1:17:54.760 --> 1:17:59.760
<v Speaker 20>an overhead view camera where his leg was clearly brushed.

1:17:59.439 --> 1:18:00.880
<v Speaker 3>By the car the police officer.

1:18:01.040 --> 1:18:06.320
<v Speaker 20>So yeah, absolutely, and that's all over Facebook. It's I

1:18:06.360 --> 1:18:09.200
<v Speaker 20>don't know where that shot came from, but it's definitely

1:18:09.280 --> 1:18:12.960
<v Speaker 20>not AI. It's it's real and his leg was hit.

1:18:13.120 --> 1:18:15.680
<v Speaker 20>So the other thing I keep hearing as well, her

1:18:15.760 --> 1:18:18.120
<v Speaker 20>tires will turned to the right, Her tires were turned right.

1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:19.080
<v Speaker 8>He doesn't know that.

1:18:19.840 --> 1:18:23.479
<v Speaker 20>All he knows is that there's and they's been and

1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:26.200
<v Speaker 20>then she's been told to get out to stop. I

1:18:26.320 --> 1:18:30.240
<v Speaker 20>also read that she ran around harassing those guys all

1:18:30.360 --> 1:18:34.080
<v Speaker 20>day for several days prior to this incident. That she's

1:18:34.160 --> 1:18:39.439
<v Speaker 20>a social justice warrior, and you know it's it's her fault,

1:18:39.920 --> 1:18:43.760
<v Speaker 20>but you don't impede a police officer. Now, if I

1:18:43.880 --> 1:18:47.520
<v Speaker 20>saw if I saw a beat cop in downtown Cincinnati

1:18:47.680 --> 1:18:50.439
<v Speaker 20>arresting somebody, and I didn't feel like it was the

1:18:50.560 --> 1:18:52.880
<v Speaker 20>right thing, there's no way I'm getting in the middle

1:18:52.880 --> 1:18:56.000
<v Speaker 20>of that. So why is an ice officer different than

1:18:56.040 --> 1:18:56.599
<v Speaker 20>a beat cop?

1:18:56.640 --> 1:18:58.000
<v Speaker 2>And since that they're not been.

1:18:57.960 --> 1:19:02.200
<v Speaker 20>Brainwashed by the politicians that these people are hurt legitimate

1:19:02.920 --> 1:19:04.840
<v Speaker 20>and she got herself killed.

1:19:05.479 --> 1:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>And it is a sad thing, But what did the

1:19:07.800 --> 1:19:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Vice president say? It's a tragedy of her own making.

1:19:11.080 --> 1:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's just obvious to me. And I wasn't convinced

1:19:14.320 --> 1:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>until last night when I saw that last video because

1:19:17.840 --> 1:19:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the other ones weren't really good angles.

1:19:20.200 --> 1:19:23.559
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what she tried to do to hit the officer.

1:19:23.680 --> 1:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>And we talked about it just a minute ago, Graham

1:19:26.120 --> 1:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>versus Connor, that case stands for the proposition one proposition

1:19:31.000 --> 1:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that you got to put yourself in the position of

1:19:34.880 --> 1:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that cop at the time it's happening, at the time

1:19:38.240 --> 1:19:40.679
<v Speaker 1>the cops got to make a split second decision.

1:19:41.000 --> 1:19:42.400
<v Speaker 3>You can't second guess.

1:19:42.960 --> 1:19:46.479
<v Speaker 20>So I think it's been he's been hit by a

1:19:46.560 --> 1:19:47.879
<v Speaker 20>car before, exactly.

1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I heard that, and you know what, that would be

1:19:52.800 --> 1:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>factored into it too. But you know, again, I wish

1:19:56.800 --> 1:20:00.360
<v Speaker 1>people could turn the temperature down a litt little bit

1:20:00.439 --> 1:20:02.560
<v Speaker 1>on this thing. But you know what, that's just not

1:20:02.720 --> 1:20:04.559
<v Speaker 1>the way it is in today's day and.

1:20:04.600 --> 1:20:05.479
<v Speaker 3>Age, you know.

1:20:05.760 --> 1:20:10.360
<v Speaker 20>And and how irresponsible is she for having all those

1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:14.479
<v Speaker 20>children go out on the road, leave Colorado, go to

1:20:14.600 --> 1:20:20.320
<v Speaker 20>Minneapolis to go harass police officers, chase them around and

1:20:20.400 --> 1:20:23.800
<v Speaker 20>impede their duties while she has three kids sitting at home.

1:20:23.880 --> 1:20:24.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a hell of an example.

1:20:26.120 --> 1:20:26.280
<v Speaker 17>You know.

1:20:27.080 --> 1:20:27.639
<v Speaker 20>It's a shame.

1:20:27.840 --> 1:20:32.439
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate the call, Thanks Mike, Okay, thank you. Yeah.

1:20:32.479 --> 1:20:34.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean I can't stress it enough. And I dealt

1:20:34.640 --> 1:20:35.720
<v Speaker 3>with it. As a prosecutor.

1:20:36.439 --> 1:20:39.200
<v Speaker 1>You have to put yourself in the position of the

1:20:39.240 --> 1:20:43.559
<v Speaker 1>police officer at the time and at the place where

1:20:43.920 --> 1:20:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the uh, the death happened. You kind of have to

1:20:48.000 --> 1:20:51.640
<v Speaker 1>substitute what he's thinking for what you're thinking. He or

1:20:51.720 --> 1:20:55.400
<v Speaker 1>she and the Supreme Court I think it was the

1:20:55.479 --> 1:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>mid eighties.

1:20:56.000 --> 1:20:58.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure. Gave us some good guidance on that

1:20:58.920 --> 1:20:59.479
<v Speaker 3>in that case.

1:21:00.160 --> 1:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what, maybe someday we'll discuss that case, uh

1:21:03.280 --> 1:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in detail, because it's interesting and obviously time worthy.

1:21:07.439 --> 1:21:07.519
<v Speaker 17>Uh.

1:21:07.800 --> 1:21:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Tim in Minnesota, Oh wants to talk about Minnesota. I'm sorry,

1:21:12.160 --> 1:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>sorry I put you in Minnesota?

1:21:13.640 --> 1:21:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Tim? Are you there?

1:21:19.040 --> 1:21:19.320
<v Speaker 4>Tim?

1:21:20.000 --> 1:21:24.759
<v Speaker 3>All right? Hopefully you'll call back. Jeff and Zenia? Hey, Jeff,

1:21:24.800 --> 1:21:25.200
<v Speaker 3>what's up?

1:21:26.080 --> 1:21:26.240
<v Speaker 5>Hey?

1:21:26.280 --> 1:21:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Mike.

1:21:26.920 --> 1:21:27.040
<v Speaker 16>Hey.

1:21:27.120 --> 1:21:30.000
<v Speaker 11>Before I get started, I'd like to commend you on

1:21:30.760 --> 1:21:33.559
<v Speaker 11>being one of the talk show hosts there that actually

1:21:33.680 --> 1:21:35.160
<v Speaker 11>take calls, because there's quite.

1:21:35.000 --> 1:21:35.960
<v Speaker 3>A number of them on there.

1:21:36.720 --> 1:21:37.880
<v Speaker 11>I hear the all.

1:21:38.160 --> 1:21:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I hear that a lot.

1:21:39.920 --> 1:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:21:40.280 --> 1:21:42.639
<v Speaker 11>Well, because also too, you know, we have a voice

1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:45.280
<v Speaker 11>out here too, and everybody's got their opinion on things.

1:21:45.640 --> 1:21:47.280
<v Speaker 11>And I just wish more of them did as much

1:21:47.280 --> 1:21:49.880
<v Speaker 11>as you did, because a lot of them said, don't

1:21:49.920 --> 1:21:51.680
<v Speaker 11>take calls at all, and they have different guests on,

1:21:51.840 --> 1:21:53.360
<v Speaker 11>you know, every time, every day of the week, and

1:21:53.479 --> 1:21:53.760
<v Speaker 11>it's just.

1:21:54.160 --> 1:21:56.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's not what talk radio is about, exactly,

1:21:57.120 --> 1:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's I agree with you on that. I mean,

1:22:00.360 --> 1:22:02.559
<v Speaker 1>other guys can do what they want, but I enjoy

1:22:02.680 --> 1:22:05.640
<v Speaker 1>taking calls. I think it's important I.

1:22:05.680 --> 1:22:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Think it is too.

1:22:07.120 --> 1:22:09.720
<v Speaker 11>Besides that, I got to I mean, I've got to

1:22:09.920 --> 1:22:13.479
<v Speaker 11>compliment a couple of other callers too, because as a

1:22:13.560 --> 1:22:15.679
<v Speaker 11>person who lives in the United States, when a cop

1:22:15.760 --> 1:22:18.400
<v Speaker 11>gives you a command, you better listen to them, or,

1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.560
<v Speaker 11>as Jdvan says, you put yourself in a position that

1:22:21.880 --> 1:22:25.320
<v Speaker 11>may not turn out well for you and people. You know,

1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:28.200
<v Speaker 11>we're growing up now where you know, all these YouTube

1:22:28.280 --> 1:22:30.679
<v Speaker 11>videos show you what to do if a cop talks

1:22:30.720 --> 1:22:32.560
<v Speaker 11>to you, what stops you, and what you can do,

1:22:32.720 --> 1:22:35.760
<v Speaker 11>what you can't do. And the other thing is too.

1:22:35.800 --> 1:22:38.719
<v Speaker 11>A lot of these people these protests, if they're being paid,

1:22:39.200 --> 1:22:41.559
<v Speaker 11>you know, to do that. They're there for a specific reason,

1:22:41.640 --> 1:22:45.320
<v Speaker 11>and it's not basically to promote happiness and well being.

1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:48.880
<v Speaker 11>They're there to torment as well as agitate as well

1:22:48.920 --> 1:22:52.280
<v Speaker 11>as basically confront the cops just to get a reaction

1:22:52.520 --> 1:22:54.640
<v Speaker 11>so you can have a situation like they did in

1:22:54.640 --> 1:22:58.400
<v Speaker 11>the Cincinnati where they get paid us nice substantial little

1:22:58.439 --> 1:22:59.640
<v Speaker 11>stump some for doing so.

1:23:00.880 --> 1:23:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, and I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead, No,

1:23:03.680 --> 1:23:05.760
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, go ahead. Well I was just going to say,

1:23:05.800 --> 1:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're absolutely right about that. I wouldn't want

1:23:09.360 --> 1:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to be a cop in today's world at all, with

1:23:11.760 --> 1:23:14.880
<v Speaker 1>everything that's going on, and I believe they are getting paid.

1:23:14.920 --> 1:23:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I mentioned earlier in the program. I'm watching

1:23:18.160 --> 1:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>somebody's coverage of it, probably Fox yesterday, and the u

1:23:22.960 --> 1:23:26.120
<v Speaker 1>was a Fox reporter was talking to this person as

1:23:26.200 --> 1:23:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Laura Ingram, that's right, that's right, that's right, And the

1:23:28.880 --> 1:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>lady said, or a little bit of an argument, and

1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the protester said, well, I am working, which indicates to

1:23:35.520 --> 1:23:39.559
<v Speaker 1>me somebody's paying her, probably a George Soros type.

1:23:39.400 --> 1:23:43.360
<v Speaker 11>Person exactly, or she could be working for a company.

1:23:43.439 --> 1:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>This is.

1:23:43.800 --> 1:23:45.719
<v Speaker 11>Hey, you know you want to go out and protest,

1:23:45.800 --> 1:23:47.519
<v Speaker 11>go ahead, just like a lot of the schools in

1:23:47.600 --> 1:23:49.320
<v Speaker 11>the area too. That yeah, you know, they'll let the

1:23:49.360 --> 1:23:53.120
<v Speaker 11>schools out to go have a little little protest parade,

1:23:53.400 --> 1:23:55.640
<v Speaker 11>you know, because they don't like X, Y or Z.

1:23:55.880 --> 1:23:56.040
<v Speaker 17>You know.

1:23:56.120 --> 1:23:58.040
<v Speaker 11>And wait a minute, I thought when we used to

1:23:58.120 --> 1:23:59.880
<v Speaker 11>go to school, you know, that's what we were going too,

1:24:00.479 --> 1:24:02.719
<v Speaker 11>not to basically go out and do a little parade

1:24:02.720 --> 1:24:05.000
<v Speaker 11>down the street showing hey, we're supporting this or we're

1:24:05.000 --> 1:24:05.519
<v Speaker 11>supporting that.

1:24:05.680 --> 1:24:05.800
<v Speaker 14>You know.

1:24:05.920 --> 1:24:08.880
<v Speaker 11>It's yeah, it's and that shows direct proportion on the

1:24:08.960 --> 1:24:11.080
<v Speaker 11>fact that the teachers now are the ones that are

1:24:11.200 --> 1:24:14.800
<v Speaker 11>cheerleading these students and you know, tell them, Okay, you

1:24:14.880 --> 1:24:16.160
<v Speaker 11>need to be justice warriors.

1:24:16.240 --> 1:24:17.720
<v Speaker 14>You need to do this, and you need to do that.

1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:20.599
<v Speaker 11>And that's another reason why are schools everything else are

1:24:20.640 --> 1:24:22.639
<v Speaker 11>in such the position that they are, is because we're

1:24:22.720 --> 1:24:25.240
<v Speaker 11>not teaching what people need to learn so that they

1:24:25.400 --> 1:24:27.000
<v Speaker 11>go out and actually live life.

1:24:27.240 --> 1:24:28.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, you are so right.

1:24:28.760 --> 1:24:31.000
<v Speaker 1>About a month or so ago, I got on the

1:24:31.080 --> 1:24:36.560
<v Speaker 1>website of the NEA and ac ANYA National Education Association

1:24:37.360 --> 1:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>at AFT American Federation and Teachers whatever they are.

1:24:41.080 --> 1:24:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Two big unions.

1:24:42.479 --> 1:24:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I did not see one thing about how are we

1:24:47.400 --> 1:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>going to get our kids to get their test scores up?

1:24:50.479 --> 1:24:53.160
<v Speaker 3>How are we going to teach math? Every time they.

1:24:53.160 --> 1:24:58.479
<v Speaker 1>Open their mouth, it's just all liberal radical politics. They

1:24:58.560 --> 1:25:01.559
<v Speaker 1>ought to do their damn job and bring our math

1:25:01.760 --> 1:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and our reading scores up. They are they're completely out

1:25:05.439 --> 1:25:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of control. They don't They could care less about the

1:25:08.760 --> 1:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>kids they.

1:25:09.320 --> 1:25:12.479
<v Speaker 11>Teach exactly one one quick thing on. I know you've

1:25:12.479 --> 1:25:14.720
<v Speaker 11>got other people, so I'll get going. You know, the

1:25:14.800 --> 1:25:17.200
<v Speaker 11>schools have been having this problem for a long time.

1:25:17.439 --> 1:25:19.320
<v Speaker 11>You know, you've got kids going into college now that

1:25:19.400 --> 1:25:21.519
<v Speaker 11>either can't read aren't up to the snuff of what

1:25:21.800 --> 1:25:24.639
<v Speaker 11>where they should be, and the teachers are the schools

1:25:24.680 --> 1:25:26.280
<v Speaker 11>are looking back. We'll wait a minute, it's not our

1:25:26.360 --> 1:25:28.960
<v Speaker 11>fault all wayminute, bull crap. You're the ones that has

1:25:29.040 --> 1:25:33.080
<v Speaker 11>the responsibility to be teaching these students and you should

1:25:33.280 --> 1:25:36.760
<v Speaker 11>hold them back when they are like COVID, you pushed

1:25:36.800 --> 1:25:39.960
<v Speaker 11>the whole generation through in two years that had no

1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:42.880
<v Speaker 11>business even going up to the next grade because most

1:25:42.960 --> 1:25:46.479
<v Speaker 11>of them are on advance or remote learning and at

1:25:46.680 --> 1:25:49.000
<v Speaker 11>fourth or fifty percent of the time, none of them

1:25:49.040 --> 1:25:52.160
<v Speaker 11>are even showing up for that. So we've got multiple problems.

1:25:52.240 --> 1:25:53.200
<v Speaker 2>But I'll let you go.

1:25:53.360 --> 1:25:55.439
<v Speaker 11>Great show, Mike. I appreciate the fact that you do

1:25:55.600 --> 1:25:58.080
<v Speaker 11>take a lot of calls and you know, keep at it.

1:25:58.200 --> 1:25:59.000
<v Speaker 11>I really appreciate it.

1:25:59.160 --> 1:26:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Okay, jehank you for the call. Let's talk to Bill

1:26:03.640 --> 1:26:07.160
<v Speaker 1>in Kentucky. He wants to talk about paid agitators. Pretty

1:26:07.200 --> 1:26:07.960
<v Speaker 1>much on topic.

1:26:08.200 --> 1:26:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Hey Bill, how you doing, Oh just fine, covering a

1:26:12.320 --> 1:26:12.720
<v Speaker 3>good day.

1:26:12.960 --> 1:26:16.120
<v Speaker 8>Good And but I'll tell you somebody needs to be

1:26:16.280 --> 1:26:19.680
<v Speaker 8>looked into this. You're right, that's a good word. You've

1:26:19.720 --> 1:26:23.200
<v Speaker 8>got a good word for it. And now look up

1:26:23.280 --> 1:26:26.360
<v Speaker 8>against the law. Now, somebody why are these people not

1:26:26.479 --> 1:26:29.800
<v Speaker 8>being investigated and locked up to shut this stuff down?

1:26:30.560 --> 1:26:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know that it's against the law, though, Bill.

1:26:34.040 --> 1:26:37.600
<v Speaker 8>You know, well, I think it is because they're inciting

1:26:38.880 --> 1:26:40.639
<v Speaker 8>agitating violence.

1:26:40.760 --> 1:26:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Man, Well, inciting the violence. That's that's a crime in Ohio.

1:26:44.320 --> 1:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>But you've got to have a lot to be able

1:26:46.800 --> 1:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to prevail on that. But I understand what you're saying, though.

1:26:51.160 --> 1:26:56.720
<v Speaker 8>They somebody's kind of shut these people down. It's it's illegal.

1:26:56.800 --> 1:26:59.320
<v Speaker 8>They could you know, they can all lawyers. They can

1:26:59.400 --> 1:27:02.040
<v Speaker 8>always find a way to shut this stuff down.

1:27:02.320 --> 1:27:03.160
<v Speaker 14>The government can.

1:27:03.720 --> 1:27:05.479
<v Speaker 8>I mean, if anybody can do it, to be the

1:27:05.560 --> 1:27:10.760
<v Speaker 8>government get these people and you know, penalize them. And

1:27:10.960 --> 1:27:14.160
<v Speaker 8>if they find out they've been hire these people to

1:27:14.479 --> 1:27:17.000
<v Speaker 8>go in the middle of the street and do all

1:27:17.080 --> 1:27:20.679
<v Speaker 8>this stuff, they should be locked up there. They're complished, dude,

1:27:20.760 --> 1:27:22.000
<v Speaker 8>they're in charge of.

1:27:22.360 --> 1:27:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I hear you, Bill, I hear you. I appreciate the call.

1:27:25.439 --> 1:27:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I got to try and get a couple more in

1:27:27.560 --> 1:27:30.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Yeah, I don't know about that. There might

1:27:30.240 --> 1:27:34.880
<v Speaker 1>be First Amendment issues there. I understand the frustration, believe me.

1:27:35.320 --> 1:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>And the first thing he asked, don't these people have jobs?

1:27:38.240 --> 1:27:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Because this week It was a lot of it in

1:27:41.360 --> 1:27:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the daytime too, so you know, I don't know that

1:27:45.240 --> 1:27:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it's illegal, but it's very annoying. Let's talk to Randy. Hey, Randy,

1:27:52.760 --> 1:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>how you.

1:27:53.160 --> 1:27:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Doing pretty good?

1:27:55.560 --> 1:27:57.000
<v Speaker 6>And Mike, how were you good?

1:27:57.280 --> 1:27:57.479
<v Speaker 3>Good?

1:27:57.880 --> 1:27:57.920
<v Speaker 17>Go?

1:27:59.040 --> 1:28:00.200
<v Speaker 14>First time I remember.

1:28:00.200 --> 1:28:04.880
<v Speaker 5>Gotten through and it's nice to be you to get

1:28:04.960 --> 1:28:08.360
<v Speaker 5>through to you because I've known you for years. You

1:28:08.479 --> 1:28:11.000
<v Speaker 5>used to come in my businesses when I was downtown,

1:28:11.120 --> 1:28:12.439
<v Speaker 5>in my Schuber prayer shops.

1:28:12.640 --> 1:28:16.720
<v Speaker 20>Oh yeah, I did a lot, Yes, you did.

1:28:17.000 --> 1:28:23.640
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, I believe our problem is the Democrats is the

1:28:23.840 --> 1:28:29.599
<v Speaker 5>largest criminal organization in the United States. They get away

1:28:29.800 --> 1:28:32.360
<v Speaker 5>with everything they want to get away with.

1:28:32.960 --> 1:28:34.360
<v Speaker 9>Don't we don't.

1:28:34.240 --> 1:28:39.599
<v Speaker 5>Impeach their Democrat president that obviously needed impeached. We got

1:28:39.720 --> 1:28:43.120
<v Speaker 5>Democrat women that come out and say, go do violence

1:28:43.240 --> 1:28:45.680
<v Speaker 5>on the street, and then they get to stay in

1:28:45.760 --> 1:28:49.559
<v Speaker 5>their congressional seats. I don't understand why we're not getting

1:28:49.640 --> 1:28:52.280
<v Speaker 5>rid of these people and getting them out of our government.

1:28:52.840 --> 1:28:55.280
<v Speaker 5>Why should they be allowed to do it? If Trump

1:28:55.400 --> 1:29:00.439
<v Speaker 5>says one thing misleading, there's fifty million pece on it.

1:29:01.160 --> 1:29:02.360
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, it's just media.

1:29:03.439 --> 1:29:05.640
<v Speaker 5>The media is owned by the Democrats.

1:29:06.240 --> 1:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, and you're right, about that, Randy.

1:29:08.840 --> 1:29:12.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's starting to get a little bit better. The

1:29:12.880 --> 1:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post, believe it or not, had an op ed

1:29:16.360 --> 1:29:19.439
<v Speaker 1>this week. I think it was on the Minnesota riots

1:29:19.520 --> 1:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever the hell it was, but they actually took

1:29:22.600 --> 1:29:28.240
<v Speaker 1>not a moderate tone. It was actually a conservative tone.

1:29:28.520 --> 1:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Little cracks are starting to happen. Uh But boy, I

1:29:32.040 --> 1:29:34.679
<v Speaker 1>tell you, it's that that comes on top of years

1:29:35.000 --> 1:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and years and years of outright bias. And I've been

1:29:39.080 --> 1:29:42.000
<v Speaker 1>watching this stuff for a long time. It's better now

1:29:42.160 --> 1:29:44.640
<v Speaker 1>than it used to be. But hey, I'm bumping up

1:29:44.640 --> 1:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>against the news here though. I appreciate the call, Randy.

1:29:47.280 --> 1:29:49.640
<v Speaker 5>All Micha, Well, thank you for taking my call. I

1:29:49.680 --> 1:29:50.320
<v Speaker 5>have a great thing.

1:29:50.360 --> 1:29:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you too, thank you. Yeah, it's better than it was.

1:29:54.160 --> 1:29:56.639
<v Speaker 1>I think I've said before. Back in the day, all

1:29:56.720 --> 1:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you had ABC, NBC, CBS, that's it, and all we

1:30:02.200 --> 1:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>had was the National Review. It's a lot better now,

1:30:05.360 --> 1:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>thank god for Fox News. All Right, we got to

1:30:08.920 --> 1:30:10.519
<v Speaker 1>take a break, but when we get back, we're going

1:30:10.600 --> 1:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to talk to FOP president Ken Kober. I got some

1:30:14.400 --> 1:30:18.559
<v Speaker 1>questions for him about this whole situation with paying off

1:30:18.880 --> 1:30:22.559
<v Speaker 1>a family that tried to kill a cop and did

1:30:22.680 --> 1:30:25.560
<v Speaker 1>kill a cop, the young one I think tried, but

1:30:26.200 --> 1:30:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Sergeant Henderson was brutally murdered in the city of Cincinnati.

1:30:30.920 --> 1:30:33.799
<v Speaker 3>At least some of them want to give that family

1:30:33.880 --> 1:30:34.280
<v Speaker 3>some money.

1:30:34.479 --> 1:30:37.240
<v Speaker 1>No, no, anyway, I'm going to talk to Ken about

1:30:37.280 --> 1:30:39.839
<v Speaker 1>that when we get back, Mike Allen, Saturday Midday.

1:30:41.000 --> 1:30:46.800
<v Speaker 19>The war on drugs drives on first dope running votes intercepted.

1:30:47.280 --> 1:30:51.320
<v Speaker 19>Now the capture of Venezuela's president, will there be any

1:30:51.439 --> 1:30:57.000
<v Speaker 19>more regime changes, countries invaded or cartels contained? Cheap it

1:30:57.120 --> 1:30:59.760
<v Speaker 19>Here for the latest news Radio.

1:31:01.320 --> 1:31:05.599
<v Speaker 22>L W how Stephen Curry and this is gentleman's cut.

1:31:06.080 --> 1:31:08.920
<v Speaker 22>I think what makes gentlemen's cut different is me being

1:31:08.960 --> 1:31:11.400
<v Speaker 22>a part of, you know, developing the profile.

1:31:11.880 --> 1:31:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Hey, we're back, Mike Allen, Saturday Midday. Well.

1:31:16.000 --> 1:31:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Fox nineteen reported earlier in the week that FOP President

1:31:19.680 --> 1:31:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Ken Kober says Cincinnati City Manager Cheryl Long is quote

1:31:24.120 --> 1:31:28.759
<v Speaker 1>scheming to secretly pay close quote the family of Rodney

1:31:29.000 --> 1:31:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Hinton quote potentially millions in a settlement close quote over.

1:31:34.439 --> 1:31:35.960
<v Speaker 3>The death of his son Ryan.

1:31:36.439 --> 1:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>This thing's got the entire town talking and well, at

1:31:39.720 --> 1:31:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, in my opinion, at least

1:31:42.840 --> 1:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to what's right and what's wrong.

1:31:45.760 --> 1:31:48.360
<v Speaker 3>The president is here, Ken, thanks so much for calling in.

1:31:49.760 --> 1:31:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Sure Mike, thanks for having me.

1:31:51.280 --> 1:31:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh, can you say as much as you can say

1:31:53.680 --> 1:31:56.439
<v Speaker 1>about how this how this whole thing went down, because

1:31:56.479 --> 1:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the city manager denies that it happened. I think I

1:32:00.880 --> 1:32:03.559
<v Speaker 1>know who I believe, but can you kind of give

1:32:03.640 --> 1:32:05.800
<v Speaker 1>us an overview of that and then we'll talk about

1:32:05.840 --> 1:32:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the substance of it.

1:32:08.120 --> 1:32:08.320
<v Speaker 9>Sure.

1:32:08.360 --> 1:32:10.280
<v Speaker 2>So, I had a source from city hall that called

1:32:10.360 --> 1:32:15.280
<v Speaker 2>me Thursday afternoon. Uh, made me aware that this is

1:32:15.320 --> 1:32:17.720
<v Speaker 2>what's going on. You know, the city managers trying to

1:32:19.040 --> 1:32:23.040
<v Speaker 2>settle and they actually had a tentative agreement, and that

1:32:23.240 --> 1:32:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the city managers trying to keep this quiet and they

1:32:25.600 --> 1:32:27.840
<v Speaker 2>were just going to kind of get this done, you know,

1:32:28.080 --> 1:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>out of the view of the public, which obviously was

1:32:31.120 --> 1:32:34.560
<v Speaker 2>confirmed by Councilman Cramerton where he said we're going to

1:32:34.600 --> 1:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>be getting an update. We're going to talk about this

1:32:36.320 --> 1:32:39.040
<v Speaker 2>in executive session. For those that don't know what executive

1:32:39.080 --> 1:32:42.320
<v Speaker 2>session is, they kick the public out, you know, they

1:32:42.360 --> 1:32:46.919
<v Speaker 2>have an executive session literally means that it's it's all protected,

1:32:46.960 --> 1:32:51.160
<v Speaker 2>there's there's notes taken. The people inside are not supposed

1:32:51.160 --> 1:32:54.080
<v Speaker 2>to discuss what happened or what's going to happen, And

1:32:54.439 --> 1:32:56.000
<v Speaker 2>they said, he confirmed that. And if you look at

1:32:56.040 --> 1:32:59.639
<v Speaker 2>the city manager's statement that she put out, she didn't

1:32:59.640 --> 1:33:04.759
<v Speaker 2>deny that there are negotiations. She claims there's a tentative agreement. However,

1:33:05.200 --> 1:33:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I was able to confirm that as I spoke to

1:33:08.800 --> 1:33:11.439
<v Speaker 2>one of the officers involved that was the law department

1:33:11.520 --> 1:33:13.840
<v Speaker 2>reached out to them to let them know that a

1:33:13.920 --> 1:33:15.280
<v Speaker 2>tentative agreement had been reached.

1:33:16.040 --> 1:33:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this, I mean, are you in

1:33:17.479 --> 1:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a position to say what that agreement was? I don't

1:33:20.120 --> 1:33:23.040
<v Speaker 1>want you to violate any any kind of trust or anything,

1:33:23.160 --> 1:33:25.600
<v Speaker 1>but I thought i'd ask no.

1:33:25.760 --> 1:33:27.479
<v Speaker 2>And that's the problem is. I started reaching out to

1:33:27.520 --> 1:33:30.560
<v Speaker 2>council members. I go, hey, I understand there's there's some agreements,

1:33:30.760 --> 1:33:33.120
<v Speaker 2>settlement agreements and reached. What do we talk about? How

1:33:33.160 --> 1:33:35.439
<v Speaker 2>much money is this? And these council members are like,

1:33:35.439 --> 1:33:37.880
<v Speaker 2>what are you talking about? She has no idea, you know,

1:33:38.040 --> 1:33:40.639
<v Speaker 2>so we could say, you say that it's not secretive,

1:33:40.680 --> 1:33:42.360
<v Speaker 2>but why does the city council know about this?

1:33:42.760 --> 1:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>That is, I'm telling you what that they don't know

1:33:45.680 --> 1:33:47.760
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is going on down there? The left

1:33:47.800 --> 1:33:50.040
<v Speaker 1>hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing. It's not

1:33:50.320 --> 1:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>just this, it's a hell of a lot of things.

1:33:53.400 --> 1:33:55.960
<v Speaker 1>But I'm sure you know you've got two council members

1:33:56.040 --> 1:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>on that council that boy came out strongly in your favor,

1:34:01.040 --> 1:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Kramerton and Seth Walsh. I mean, did you get

1:34:04.800 --> 1:34:06.439
<v Speaker 1>to read what they had to say about it?

1:34:07.640 --> 1:34:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Actually, not not only those two, but Councilman Jefferies.

1:34:12.200 --> 1:34:14.120
<v Speaker 2>He actually reached out to me Thursday night.

1:34:14.240 --> 1:34:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, And so.

1:34:15.160 --> 1:34:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Ken, I'm completely against this. This is absolutely wrong and

1:34:19.920 --> 1:34:22.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm against it. We shouldn't be doing this, and we're

1:34:22.479 --> 1:34:23.920
<v Speaker 2>going to do what we have to do to stop this.

1:34:24.720 --> 1:34:26.679
<v Speaker 2>And then, as well as I've been told, I haven't

1:34:26.680 --> 1:34:29.599
<v Speaker 2>been able to confirm this yet that Scotti Johnson as

1:34:29.640 --> 1:34:32.280
<v Speaker 2>well as against this. I don't know how any council

1:34:32.320 --> 1:34:33.400
<v Speaker 2>member can be for this.

1:34:33.840 --> 1:34:34.479
<v Speaker 3>I don't either.

1:34:34.640 --> 1:34:37.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just want to read one or two

1:34:37.600 --> 1:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>sentences about what council Member Walsh said, because he said

1:34:41.040 --> 1:34:44.960
<v Speaker 1>it so well. It is a tremendous disrespect to the

1:34:45.040 --> 1:34:48.400
<v Speaker 1>families involved, and to make a public spectacle out of

1:34:48.439 --> 1:34:51.600
<v Speaker 1>a tragedy, I think it's unconsionable for the City of

1:34:51.680 --> 1:34:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati to be considering a settlement without the full deliberation

1:34:56.240 --> 1:35:00.679
<v Speaker 1>of council. The tragedy that unfolded and made devastated our community,

1:35:01.040 --> 1:35:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and is our responsibility to heal the wreckage, not to

1:35:05.160 --> 1:35:10.400
<v Speaker 1>create more division and kremiting. Statement was strong as well,

1:35:10.800 --> 1:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>So obviously you do have some support there. Let's talk

1:35:14.160 --> 1:35:16.599
<v Speaker 1>about the guts of it, though, Ken, I mean, it's

1:35:16.720 --> 1:35:21.439
<v Speaker 1>bizarre when you think about it. The legislative body, Cincinnati

1:35:21.479 --> 1:35:24.840
<v Speaker 1>City Council and the city Manager are apparent, and some

1:35:25.040 --> 1:35:27.960
<v Speaker 1>on Council, not all, are apparently thinking about giving a

1:35:28.120 --> 1:35:35.400
<v Speaker 1>settlement to a family whose family member killed a police officer,

1:35:35.760 --> 1:35:38.839
<v Speaker 1>a deputy sheriff up there at UC directing traffic, Sergeant

1:35:38.880 --> 1:35:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Anderson in just the most horrible way possible. A lot

1:35:43.560 --> 1:35:46.719
<v Speaker 1>of people are scratching their heads on this one, Ken, saying,

1:35:46.840 --> 1:35:48.040
<v Speaker 1>what the hell are they thinking?

1:35:49.439 --> 1:35:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, you know, I've been around a police

1:35:51.040 --> 1:35:54.360
<v Speaker 2>department near the twenty six years and one of the

1:35:54.439 --> 1:35:56.560
<v Speaker 2>hardest things that I had to do Thursday before I

1:35:56.640 --> 1:35:59.320
<v Speaker 2>went to the media to talk about this. What's contacting

1:35:59.360 --> 1:36:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the Hendersons and letting them know, Hey, this, this is

1:36:02.120 --> 1:36:03.640
<v Speaker 2>what's gonna happen. I didn't want them to see this

1:36:03.720 --> 1:36:06.160
<v Speaker 2>in the media. First. I wanted them to be able

1:36:06.200 --> 1:36:08.760
<v Speaker 2>to hear it before it got out there, that this

1:36:09.000 --> 1:36:11.720
<v Speaker 2>was this is a potential, you know, thing that was

1:36:11.760 --> 1:36:14.120
<v Speaker 2>going on, and that that they also had my support

1:36:14.160 --> 1:36:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that I was going to do everything that I can

1:36:15.640 --> 1:36:19.200
<v Speaker 2>to stop this from happening. And they, certainly you were thankful,

1:36:19.280 --> 1:36:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're the same way. They're they're scratching their head,

1:36:21.439 --> 1:36:24.960
<v Speaker 2>going how how can they possibly do this? It just

1:36:25.040 --> 1:36:28.880
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make any sense. It only further, you know, you know,

1:36:28.920 --> 1:36:32.560
<v Speaker 2>it has the emotions running high, victimizes, you know, the

1:36:32.600 --> 1:36:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Henderson's even further, it's not enough. You know that Deputy

1:36:35.800 --> 1:36:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Henderson was viciously murdered. Yep, and now on top of it,

1:36:38.840 --> 1:36:42.120
<v Speaker 2>we're somehow going to give a settlement to this family

1:36:42.120 --> 1:36:43.200
<v Speaker 2>if it doesn't make any sense.

1:36:43.520 --> 1:36:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you think the votes are on enough votes are

1:36:47.080 --> 1:36:48.320
<v Speaker 3>on council to stop it?

1:36:50.240 --> 1:36:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I certainly hope.

1:36:50.920 --> 1:36:50.960
<v Speaker 3>So.

1:36:51.360 --> 1:36:54.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. My understanding talking to some of these council members

1:36:54.560 --> 1:36:57.479
<v Speaker 2>is they're going to do everything they can uh to

1:36:57.600 --> 1:37:00.280
<v Speaker 2>make sure if this gets brought to a vote, which

1:37:00.400 --> 1:37:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I certainly hope it does, that they're going to have

1:37:03.640 --> 1:37:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the moral compass to vote against us.

1:37:07.320 --> 1:37:09.559
<v Speaker 1>They have to, and now I know some of them will,

1:37:09.680 --> 1:37:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, they'll pontificate and say, hey, you know, we

1:37:12.720 --> 1:37:14.120
<v Speaker 1>had to do this because we didn't want to go

1:37:14.200 --> 1:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to trial and get hit with a huge judgment, which

1:37:17.160 --> 1:37:17.680
<v Speaker 1>they would not.

1:37:18.479 --> 1:37:18.599
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

1:37:19.080 --> 1:37:21.400
<v Speaker 3>But it'll be interesting to see at the end of

1:37:21.439 --> 1:37:21.760
<v Speaker 3>the day.

1:37:21.800 --> 1:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, I hope that it all comes out that they said, well,

1:37:25.560 --> 1:37:28.439
<v Speaker 1>that was a bad idea, We're not going to do it. Uh,

1:37:28.520 --> 1:37:31.439
<v Speaker 1>they do go, as you mentioned, going to executive session.

1:37:31.479 --> 1:37:35.439
<v Speaker 1>It's Monday. Do you expect to have some resolution or

1:37:35.600 --> 1:37:38.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe getting close to a resolution by the.

1:37:38.520 --> 1:37:39.080
<v Speaker 3>End of the day.

1:37:40.960 --> 1:37:43.439
<v Speaker 2>I certainly hope. So, you know, I hope the resolution

1:37:43.720 --> 1:37:46.240
<v Speaker 2>is we're going to fight. We're going to port these

1:37:46.320 --> 1:37:48.600
<v Speaker 2>officers and we're going to fight this. And I'll be

1:37:48.640 --> 1:37:50.240
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, you know, years down the day if

1:37:50.240 --> 1:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>they want to file aallsuit, file a lawsuit. Years down

1:37:52.960 --> 1:37:57.720
<v Speaker 2>the road, if a judge somehow determines that the hint

1:37:57.760 --> 1:38:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and family should be paid. Now, I can live with that,

1:38:01.479 --> 1:38:05.120
<v Speaker 2>but I can't live with the city saying no, we're

1:38:05.160 --> 1:38:07.240
<v Speaker 2>just going to settle. They should fight this. They should

1:38:07.280 --> 1:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>show the Cincinai police officers, especially when you had, you know,

1:38:11.120 --> 1:38:14.840
<v Speaker 2>a new prosecutor that investigated this, went over all the

1:38:14.880 --> 1:38:18.840
<v Speaker 2>evidence for weeks, and then determine that the officers did

1:38:18.880 --> 1:38:21.800
<v Speaker 2>absolutely nothing wrong. They followed their training, they followed the law.

1:38:22.640 --> 1:38:23.479
<v Speaker 2>That's what're fighting for.

1:38:23.840 --> 1:38:25.000
<v Speaker 3>You're absolutely right about.

1:38:25.120 --> 1:38:28.479
<v Speaker 1>She obviously made the right call, and in some cases

1:38:28.840 --> 1:38:31.360
<v Speaker 1>they'll send it to grand jury and let them decide

1:38:31.680 --> 1:38:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the grand jury of course, you know, as a tool

1:38:33.800 --> 1:38:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of a prosecutor. But she made a strong decision and

1:38:38.080 --> 1:38:40.800
<v Speaker 1>for her and her party it may not have been

1:38:40.920 --> 1:38:44.320
<v Speaker 1>particularly popular, but she did the right thing. I mean,

1:38:44.720 --> 1:38:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I think overall, I think she's doing a really good

1:38:47.400 --> 1:38:50.760
<v Speaker 1>job for whatever my opinion is worth. But she made

1:38:50.800 --> 1:38:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the right call on this one. It should have been

1:38:52.640 --> 1:38:56.320
<v Speaker 1>case closed. But you know how that goes in government,

1:38:56.479 --> 1:39:00.840
<v Speaker 1>especially Cincinnati City Council. What's the feeling among the street

1:39:00.960 --> 1:39:04.160
<v Speaker 1>cops can about this. I mean, let's just say a

1:39:04.240 --> 1:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>new officer on a couple of years or something like that,

1:39:07.280 --> 1:39:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and they got to be scratching her head too.

1:39:10.560 --> 1:39:10.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1:39:10.920 --> 1:39:13.799
<v Speaker 2>I've had officers not only from the Cincinnati Police Department,

1:39:13.840 --> 1:39:17.680
<v Speaker 2>but from the Sheriff's Department expressing their support for me

1:39:18.280 --> 1:39:21.160
<v Speaker 2>to bring this to light, to fight this because they're

1:39:21.479 --> 1:39:24.240
<v Speaker 2>they're they're beyond just being mad. I mean, they are

1:39:24.840 --> 1:39:29.719
<v Speaker 2>absolutely just frustrated. I mean they can't believe that something

1:39:29.800 --> 1:39:31.799
<v Speaker 2>like this would happen. And then the Sincinoni police officers

1:39:31.800 --> 1:39:33.280
<v Speaker 2>they're saying the same thing, like wa just said, what

1:39:33.479 --> 1:39:36.640
<v Speaker 2>are we doing? This isn't just this isn't just a

1:39:36.800 --> 1:39:39.840
<v Speaker 2>criminal that was shot and killed by a police officer.

1:39:40.360 --> 1:39:42.960
<v Speaker 2>This family the next day went out and viciously murdered

1:39:43.040 --> 1:39:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a sheriff's deputy that had nothing to do with any

1:39:45.200 --> 1:39:48.439
<v Speaker 2>of this. So this isn't just about paying somebody that

1:39:48.640 --> 1:39:51.760
<v Speaker 2>was committing crimes that ended up dying because they made

1:39:51.800 --> 1:39:54.320
<v Speaker 2>some really really poor choices and put an officer in

1:39:54.400 --> 1:39:56.960
<v Speaker 2>danger who had to save their own life. It's what

1:39:57.120 --> 1:39:59.760
<v Speaker 2>happened the next day that makes us even more egregious.

1:40:00.120 --> 1:40:01.439
<v Speaker 2>And I can tell you there are a lot of

1:40:01.560 --> 1:40:05.000
<v Speaker 2>officers that are absolutely furious that are paying attention to

1:40:05.040 --> 1:40:07.080
<v Speaker 2>what's going on. And when we talk about you know,

1:40:07.200 --> 1:40:09.799
<v Speaker 2>city council and the city administrations, and while we support

1:40:09.840 --> 1:40:12.559
<v Speaker 2>the police that we've given you guys raises, we've done

1:40:12.640 --> 1:40:15.040
<v Speaker 2>recruit classes, those are all things that they should be

1:40:15.120 --> 1:40:18.240
<v Speaker 2>doing anyway. Yep, you're right, about that, but standing up now,

1:40:18.400 --> 1:40:20.559
<v Speaker 2>standing up now and saying, you know what, if they

1:40:20.640 --> 1:40:22.799
<v Speaker 2>want to sue a sue us, We're going to defend

1:40:22.880 --> 1:40:26.799
<v Speaker 2>these officers and we're going to make sure that everything

1:40:26.880 --> 1:40:28.960
<v Speaker 2>comes out. And at the end of the day it

1:40:29.040 --> 1:40:30.760
<v Speaker 2>judge goes, I'm dismissing this case.

1:40:30.800 --> 1:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with this, you know, And at some

1:40:33.400 --> 1:40:37.599
<v Speaker 1>point even politicians have to take a stand and make

1:40:37.680 --> 1:40:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a principal decision. And boy, this is like exhibit A

1:40:41.360 --> 1:40:43.840
<v Speaker 1>for that. And I guess we'll have to wait and see.

1:40:44.439 --> 1:40:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I did want to ask you too about Chief Fiji.

1:40:47.479 --> 1:40:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess the story now is the law firm that

1:40:50.320 --> 1:40:52.240
<v Speaker 1>was hired, which is a good law firm, making no

1:40:52.680 --> 1:40:56.200
<v Speaker 1>versions on casting those versions on them, said well we

1:40:56.320 --> 1:41:00.519
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find anything. City council said, well, take about another month,

1:41:00.640 --> 1:41:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, and see what she can do. I mean

1:41:02.880 --> 1:41:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that's how it appears to me, and I think that's

1:41:05.800 --> 1:41:08.519
<v Speaker 1>how it appears to the general public too. I mean

1:41:08.640 --> 1:41:09.719
<v Speaker 1>she's getting screwed.

1:41:11.360 --> 1:41:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I understand this isn't This isn't a city

1:41:13.479 --> 1:41:16.760
<v Speaker 2>council saying take more time. This is my city administration.

1:41:16.880 --> 1:41:19.920
<v Speaker 2>This is a city manager saying okay, well, We're going

1:41:20.000 --> 1:41:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to take some more time to think about this. It's

1:41:22.360 --> 1:41:26.880
<v Speaker 2>it's absolutely insane. I mean, they found nothing. All they

1:41:27.000 --> 1:41:29.320
<v Speaker 2>found is, oh, there's a couple officers that don't like

1:41:29.400 --> 1:41:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the chiefs. Well, you know that's been going on as

1:41:32.120 --> 1:41:34.840
<v Speaker 2>long as police departments have existed. You know, there's some

1:41:34.920 --> 1:41:36.559
<v Speaker 2>people are going to like the chief, some people are

1:41:36.600 --> 1:41:38.800
<v Speaker 2>not going to like the chief. The bottom line is

1:41:39.320 --> 1:41:42.240
<v Speaker 2>there is no just cause to fire her, and now

1:41:42.360 --> 1:41:44.640
<v Speaker 2>they're in such a predicament that what are they going

1:41:44.720 --> 1:41:44.880
<v Speaker 2>to do?

1:41:45.479 --> 1:41:45.679
<v Speaker 3>Yep?

1:41:46.200 --> 1:41:48.840
<v Speaker 2>The only answer for them to do is to pay

1:41:48.880 --> 1:41:51.600
<v Speaker 2>her some kind of of retirement package.

1:41:52.800 --> 1:41:53.320
<v Speaker 3>To retire.

1:41:53.560 --> 1:41:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because anything short of that, there's no scenario where

1:41:56.320 --> 1:41:58.559
<v Speaker 2>she's going to come back. You know, that's just who

1:41:58.560 --> 1:42:01.519
<v Speaker 2>would want to work in these toxic canis after you know,

1:42:01.560 --> 1:42:04.559
<v Speaker 2>they're questioning your effectiveness and all of a sudden they

1:42:04.600 --> 1:42:06.599
<v Speaker 2>find nothing. How do you come back in and work

1:42:06.640 --> 1:42:07.320
<v Speaker 2>for these same people?

1:42:07.640 --> 1:42:07.680
<v Speaker 17>No?

1:42:07.880 --> 1:42:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I get it, I get you know what, And if

1:42:09.760 --> 1:42:11.960
<v Speaker 1>there is a settlement, they're going to have to back

1:42:12.080 --> 1:42:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the Brinks truck up down at City Hall because she's

1:42:15.160 --> 1:42:18.160
<v Speaker 1>going to tag them butt good. She's got great counsel

1:42:18.240 --> 1:42:20.120
<v Speaker 1>on it. I mean, I hope and I had her

1:42:20.160 --> 1:42:22.080
<v Speaker 1>family in here. Was it last week or maybe the

1:42:22.160 --> 1:42:25.479
<v Speaker 1>weekend before talking about it. She's got a pretty darn

1:42:25.560 --> 1:42:27.840
<v Speaker 1>good record too, is chief. And some of the things

1:42:27.920 --> 1:42:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that she's done, it just it makes no sense. It

1:42:31.720 --> 1:42:34.880
<v Speaker 1>makes the city look stupid, It makes the city look petty.

1:42:35.080 --> 1:42:37.519
<v Speaker 1>And as you and I have talked a number of times,

1:42:38.000 --> 1:42:42.519
<v Speaker 1>but for Issue five and taking away civil service protection

1:42:42.680 --> 1:42:45.600
<v Speaker 1>for the chief and the lieutenant colonels, we wouldn't be

1:42:45.680 --> 1:42:46.720
<v Speaker 1>having this conversation.

1:42:46.920 --> 1:42:47.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't think.

1:42:48.560 --> 1:42:50.320
<v Speaker 2>No, you're right, But if we can give eight point

1:42:50.360 --> 1:42:54.439
<v Speaker 2>one million dollars to people that were violently protesting in

1:42:54.560 --> 1:42:57.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty, well, then certainly we can give somebody who

1:42:57.600 --> 1:43:00.640
<v Speaker 2>has an impeccable record for thirty five years that has

1:43:00.680 --> 1:43:03.320
<v Speaker 2>been treated wrong. We can certainly make sure that they

1:43:03.360 --> 1:43:05.800
<v Speaker 2>can live a comfortable retirement. Yep, you would think so.

1:43:06.720 --> 1:43:08.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, I was talking to somebody this week. I

1:43:08.760 --> 1:43:11.320
<v Speaker 2>forget who it was, about being a police officer and

1:43:11.439 --> 1:43:14.760
<v Speaker 2>recruitment and things like that. Today, I think ken and

1:43:14.880 --> 1:43:16.920
<v Speaker 2>you correct me if I'm wrong. Last time we talked,

1:43:17.840 --> 1:43:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I think you said that they had openings the city

1:43:20.360 --> 1:43:22.920
<v Speaker 2>did have money for I don't know it was a

1:43:23.040 --> 1:43:25.960
<v Speaker 2>class of thirty or something like that, and they couldn't

1:43:26.200 --> 1:43:30.519
<v Speaker 2>fill that class, which just was mind boggling compared to

1:43:30.600 --> 1:43:33.720
<v Speaker 2>how it used to be. Was the city able to

1:43:33.800 --> 1:43:36.960
<v Speaker 2>find these police officers so they can put that class on?

1:43:38.240 --> 1:43:38.280
<v Speaker 11>No?

1:43:38.439 --> 1:43:41.920
<v Speaker 2>So, is this lateral class that they financed for thirty

1:43:42.000 --> 1:43:44.240
<v Speaker 2>officers is going to start here at the end of

1:43:44.280 --> 1:43:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the month. Oh good with seven officers?

1:43:46.680 --> 1:43:46.720
<v Speaker 4>What?

1:43:47.560 --> 1:43:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh man?

1:43:48.160 --> 1:43:49.679
<v Speaker 3>I thought you were going to say the full compliment.

1:43:49.960 --> 1:43:53.640
<v Speaker 3>That is just the bizarro world for somebody who's as

1:43:53.680 --> 1:43:56.200
<v Speaker 3>old as me, And you're not as old as me

1:43:56.320 --> 1:43:58.400
<v Speaker 3>by any stretch, but I'm sure you remember it too.

1:43:58.840 --> 1:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>That damn convention center was backed to the gills. There

1:44:02.040 --> 1:44:04.360
<v Speaker 1>are a couple thousand people there that wanted.

1:44:04.120 --> 1:44:04.719
<v Speaker 3>To be cops.

1:44:05.720 --> 1:44:07.679
<v Speaker 2>You know, when I took the test in early two thousands,

1:44:07.960 --> 1:44:10.160
<v Speaker 2>there were about four thousand people that took the test,

1:44:11.080 --> 1:44:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and out of the four thousand, they chiseled that down

1:44:14.880 --> 1:44:18.240
<v Speaker 2>to a list of approximately one hundred officers. Out of

1:44:18.320 --> 1:44:21.320
<v Speaker 2>four thousand, that's what they hired, one hundred. They had

1:44:21.360 --> 1:44:24.679
<v Speaker 2>two classes of roughly fifty, and then they had another

1:44:24.760 --> 1:44:27.519
<v Speaker 2>test the following year where they had another three or

1:44:27.560 --> 1:44:29.680
<v Speaker 2>four thousand people take the test. And now if we

1:44:29.760 --> 1:44:32.320
<v Speaker 2>can get four or five hundred people to take a test,

1:44:32.400 --> 1:44:32.840
<v Speaker 2>we're lucky.

1:44:33.000 --> 1:44:34.599
<v Speaker 3>And that's just sad.

1:44:34.840 --> 1:44:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously it's an honorable profession and it shouldn't

1:44:38.880 --> 1:44:39.320
<v Speaker 1>be that way.

1:44:39.360 --> 1:44:41.479
<v Speaker 3>But you know what, I don't blame young people at all.

1:44:41.600 --> 1:44:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my goodness, look at the situation in Minneapolis,

1:44:46.160 --> 1:44:47.639
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to ask you. If you don't want

1:44:47.680 --> 1:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>to talk about this, I get it, but I wanted

1:44:49.880 --> 1:44:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to ask you your thoughts on what went on out

1:44:52.320 --> 1:44:56.320
<v Speaker 1>there this week and the decision with respect to the

1:44:56.560 --> 1:45:03.600
<v Speaker 1>ice officer using deadly force. Uh A damn suv is

1:45:03.640 --> 1:45:05.840
<v Speaker 1>headed right at you. Do you have any thoughts on

1:45:05.960 --> 1:45:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that at all that you'd like to share?

1:45:08.560 --> 1:45:08.640
<v Speaker 17>Well?

1:45:08.680 --> 1:45:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's clear that now that more of

1:45:10.560 --> 1:45:13.120
<v Speaker 2>these videos are coming out, that this officer was struck

1:45:13.160 --> 1:45:16.280
<v Speaker 2>by this vehicle. You know, should that officer have been

1:45:16.360 --> 1:45:17.960
<v Speaker 2>in front of the vehicle if you watch the video,

1:45:17.960 --> 1:45:20.000
<v Speaker 2>at least some of the videos that I've seen, you know,

1:45:20.120 --> 1:45:22.200
<v Speaker 2>he was going around the vehicle, looking at it, looking

1:45:22.240 --> 1:45:24.519
<v Speaker 2>at the license plate, some of these things. I don't

1:45:24.520 --> 1:45:27.000
<v Speaker 2>think he'd believed for a second that this person was

1:45:27.080 --> 1:45:27.880
<v Speaker 2>just going to take off.

1:45:28.080 --> 1:45:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

1:45:28.640 --> 1:45:31.560
<v Speaker 2>You know there's certain situations where, of course you have

1:45:31.680 --> 1:45:34.080
<v Speaker 2>to be mindful of somebody that's in a vehicle, but

1:45:34.200 --> 1:45:37.680
<v Speaker 2>the vehicles parked, And I don't I don't believe in

1:45:37.840 --> 1:45:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, I can't possibly know what was going

1:45:40.680 --> 1:45:43.559
<v Speaker 2>through this officer's mind. But you know, one would assume, Okay,

1:45:43.560 --> 1:45:45.800
<v Speaker 2>at the vehicle's park I'm walking around it, you know,

1:45:46.640 --> 1:45:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I do I want to stay in front of it.

1:45:47.920 --> 1:45:50.439
<v Speaker 2>He was clearly moving. Wasn't like he was just standing

1:45:50.479 --> 1:45:52.280
<v Speaker 2>in front of it, putting his hand up like you

1:45:52.320 --> 1:45:57.000
<v Speaker 2>should stop right, you know, But police thing, it is difficult.

1:45:57.479 --> 1:46:00.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, things happened in a split second and before

1:46:00.840 --> 1:46:02.519
<v Speaker 2>you know it, you have a vehicle coming at you

1:46:02.560 --> 1:46:03.800
<v Speaker 2>and you're trying to get the heck out of the

1:46:03.840 --> 1:46:05.960
<v Speaker 2>way exactly. So this officer did what he thought he

1:46:06.000 --> 1:46:08.320
<v Speaker 2>had to do to save his own life. That's what

1:46:08.439 --> 1:46:13.000
<v Speaker 2>he did. So we'll see what the interviews say. But ultimately,

1:46:13.439 --> 1:46:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, these officers, they have a right to protect themselves,

1:46:17.280 --> 1:46:20.200
<v Speaker 2>especially when you have a vehicle coming at you. Yeah,

1:46:20.280 --> 1:46:22.439
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court has said this time after time. If

1:46:22.479 --> 1:46:25.840
<v Speaker 2>you just look at the officer from Blendon Township that

1:46:25.960 --> 1:46:28.000
<v Speaker 2>was just on trial for murder up in Franklin, County

1:46:28.040 --> 1:46:30.599
<v Speaker 2>that was just acquitted by a jury for a very

1:46:30.840 --> 1:46:35.160
<v Speaker 2>very similar circumstance. So clearly that jury said, no, we're

1:46:35.200 --> 1:46:37.160
<v Speaker 2>falling the law. This officer fall the law. I don't

1:46:37.160 --> 1:46:38.240
<v Speaker 2>see that this is any different.

1:46:38.680 --> 1:46:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't either.

1:46:39.360 --> 1:46:42.160
<v Speaker 1>And we talked earlier in the show with a caller

1:46:42.200 --> 1:46:44.880
<v Speaker 1>about Graham versus Connor, which I'm sure you know is

1:46:44.960 --> 1:46:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court case that says, among other things, that

1:46:48.400 --> 1:46:52.479
<v Speaker 1>in judging these things, you have to put yourself in

1:46:52.600 --> 1:46:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the position of that officer at the exact moment and

1:46:57.000 --> 1:47:02.800
<v Speaker 1>before the death happened. You can't substitute your opinion for

1:47:02.880 --> 1:47:05.400
<v Speaker 1>what he or she should have done. I mean, I

1:47:05.479 --> 1:47:09.640
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine being in a split second thing like that,

1:47:09.840 --> 1:47:12.519
<v Speaker 1>where you know, I'll wait a minute, what do I

1:47:12.640 --> 1:47:15.880
<v Speaker 1>do while the car runs over you? But I want

1:47:15.880 --> 1:47:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to ask you one more question. I'm just curious about this.

1:47:18.840 --> 1:47:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Take Minnesota. You got Ice there aggressively but appropriately doing

1:47:23.800 --> 1:47:28.200
<v Speaker 1>their job. Then you have the Minneapolis police who are,

1:47:28.520 --> 1:47:31.680
<v Speaker 1>from what I can see, working against Ice, and they

1:47:31.720 --> 1:47:34.280
<v Speaker 1>were interviewing the cheap the other day, and you know,

1:47:34.560 --> 1:47:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking.

1:47:35.840 --> 1:47:39.439
<v Speaker 3>These are cops. Cops stick up for each other, cops

1:47:39.600 --> 1:47:41.519
<v Speaker 3>cover over for each other.

1:47:42.200 --> 1:47:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Does that put those local police officers beat cops in

1:47:46.360 --> 1:47:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis in a bad place?

1:47:48.880 --> 1:47:49.960
<v Speaker 3>I would think that it would.

1:47:51.479 --> 1:47:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, sure it does, because you have what your oath says,

1:47:54.360 --> 1:47:56.800
<v Speaker 2>what you swore to do, right, do you swore to

1:47:56.880 --> 1:48:01.080
<v Speaker 2>protect the constitution? You swore to enforce laws, and then

1:48:01.160 --> 1:48:05.439
<v Speaker 2>now you have politicians saying, well, I don't like this law,

1:48:05.560 --> 1:48:07.920
<v Speaker 2>so I don't want you to enforce it. The answer is,

1:48:07.960 --> 1:48:10.400
<v Speaker 2>if they don't like these laws, why don't they go

1:48:10.520 --> 1:48:14.280
<v Speaker 2>petition these lawmakers and change the law. That's how it's

1:48:14.320 --> 1:48:16.880
<v Speaker 2>done in a civilized society. It's not no, well we're

1:48:16.920 --> 1:48:19.200
<v Speaker 2>not going to enforce this law because we don't like it.

1:48:19.640 --> 1:48:21.640
<v Speaker 2>We don't get that. We don't get that opportunity. We

1:48:21.960 --> 1:48:23.680
<v Speaker 2>don't get to be able to say I don't like

1:48:23.760 --> 1:48:25.280
<v Speaker 2>this law, I'm not going to enforce it. That is

1:48:25.320 --> 1:48:28.360
<v Speaker 2>absolutely wrong thing to do. They should be going to Washington, DC,

1:48:28.520 --> 1:48:31.840
<v Speaker 2>on Capitol Hill and telling these lawmakers we don't like this,

1:48:32.280 --> 1:48:34.240
<v Speaker 2>we don't like what's going on, we don't like these laws.

1:48:34.320 --> 1:48:36.400
<v Speaker 2>We demand you change them. That's how things are done

1:48:36.439 --> 1:48:38.600
<v Speaker 2>in a civilized society. Yeah, and it's the way it

1:48:38.760 --> 1:48:40.360
<v Speaker 2>used to be done in this country. Too.

1:48:41.120 --> 1:48:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what do you think about the street cop,

1:48:43.439 --> 1:48:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting directions from on high Hey, you can't

1:48:47.040 --> 1:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>cooperate with ICE blah blah blah. And police officers being

1:48:50.200 --> 1:48:52.400
<v Speaker 1>who they are and what they are, they want to

1:48:52.479 --> 1:48:55.479
<v Speaker 1>cover over for their fellow officers. But they're in a

1:48:55.600 --> 1:48:56.839
<v Speaker 1>really difficult position.

1:48:57.000 --> 1:49:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess well they are. But you know, thankfully, especially

1:49:02.320 --> 1:49:05.640
<v Speaker 2>something like that here happened in Cincinnati, you have a

1:49:05.680 --> 1:49:08.040
<v Speaker 2>collective bargaining agreement, you have the FOP that is going

1:49:08.080 --> 1:49:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to stand up for you when you do the right thing,

1:49:12.320 --> 1:49:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's just it's a shame that these things are

1:49:14.840 --> 1:49:17.960
<v Speaker 2>even going on. And this is you know, we went

1:49:18.000 --> 1:49:21.799
<v Speaker 2>through this earlier in twenty twenty five where Mayor Pureval

1:49:21.880 --> 1:49:25.120
<v Speaker 2>came out and said, yeah, we're not helping ICE, and

1:49:25.200 --> 1:49:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I immediately put out a press relief saying, oh, yes

1:49:27.880 --> 1:49:30.720
<v Speaker 2>we will, we absolutely will, because we're sworn to do this.

1:49:31.000 --> 1:49:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeh.

1:49:31.479 --> 1:49:34.040
<v Speaker 2>And thankfully I will say. Mayor Pureval said, listen, if

1:49:34.080 --> 1:49:36.320
<v Speaker 2>they're doing it within the confines of the wall, I

1:49:36.439 --> 1:49:38.439
<v Speaker 2>get it. These officers should be doing these things. It's

1:49:38.479 --> 1:49:42.200
<v Speaker 2>not like we're not going out looking for you undocumented

1:49:42.280 --> 1:49:45.479
<v Speaker 2>people that are that aren't here that's just we have many,

1:49:45.560 --> 1:49:47.160
<v Speaker 2>many other things to be doing, and that's not the

1:49:47.280 --> 1:49:50.639
<v Speaker 2>mission of local law enforcement. However, if a federal agency

1:49:50.720 --> 1:49:53.280
<v Speaker 2>comes and says, hey, we need help, you best believe

1:49:53.320 --> 1:49:55.360
<v Speaker 2>ever since a police officer's work, and if they hear

1:49:55.400 --> 1:49:57.080
<v Speaker 2>a call for help, they're going to go there. You

1:49:57.160 --> 1:49:57.640
<v Speaker 2>get how it is.

1:49:57.920 --> 1:49:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I just wish it was

1:50:00.040 --> 1:50:01.360
<v Speaker 3>that way throughout the country.

1:50:01.439 --> 1:50:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But hey, I really appreciate this, Ken, and I'm going

1:50:04.320 --> 1:50:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to be watching this closely to see what happens with

1:50:06.840 --> 1:50:10.599
<v Speaker 1>this whole situation with the settlement, and we'll talk again.

1:50:11.960 --> 1:50:14.000
<v Speaker 16>Sure sounds good, Mike, thanks for having Okay, thank you.

1:50:15.400 --> 1:50:18.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, that was FOP President Ken Kober. Well, I'll

1:50:18.240 --> 1:50:21.719
<v Speaker 1>tell you what he is, really a good FOP president.

1:50:21.920 --> 1:50:27.840
<v Speaker 1>He has the needs of his officers, puts it first

1:50:27.920 --> 1:50:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and that sort of good FOP president has to do.

1:50:31.439 --> 1:50:35.760
<v Speaker 1>CPD is lucky to have him. All Right, Well, that's

1:50:35.840 --> 1:50:38.560
<v Speaker 1>it for me. I will be I think I'm in

1:50:38.680 --> 1:50:41.880
<v Speaker 1>for Sloany on Tuesday this week, but of course i'll

1:50:41.920 --> 1:50:45.080
<v Speaker 1>be back next Saturday for Saturday Midday.
