00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: waiting for a chance to speak. We've spoken, I guess,

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: on emails, and we've spoken over social media, but this

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: is my first time having a chance to speak over

00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Good morning? I'm good. You know why I'm not out

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: trying to drive on these icy roads.

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: There are recks. There are recks all over the place

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: this morning, so well, I mean, if you're out, look,

00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: if you're listening to us, it's no joke. I mean,

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: there are recks all over the place this morning, so

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: you got to be careful out there. A little slap

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: in the face for wintertime this morning and it's it's

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: not nice, not nice out there, but signal ninety go ahead.

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: I had officers blowing me up about you're not driving

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: to the station, are you? Are you calling in? Yeah,

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm calling.

27
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: In, calling it in, calling it in today. That's all right,

28
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: is perfectly, perfectly fine by me. I hope you're feeling

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 2: good this morning. You you were all over the street

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: takeover over the weekend and it it. See, it seems

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: to me that police really responded to this thing. And

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: we had Ken Kober on yesterday talking about this, but

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: it seems to me that the police responded to this

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: really and about the most effective way they possibly could have.

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they had great intelligence, Dan, They knew it

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: was coming. It started up north osp pursued several cars

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: that ran, and they thought they were They thought they

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: were cool. They thought, nah, you know, nobody's going to

39
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: stop us. And they went to Green Township they got

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: caught on flock there. I know that I believe Mason

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: pursued a couple of cars. I had that correctly, And

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: so when they came into the city, the city was

43
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: ready for him. And let me tell you what, call

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: me it totally impressed because they trapped them. They trapped

45
00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: him in the high school parking lot. They tricked them. Yeah,

46
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: these idiots tried to go over stop sticks, curbs, I mean,

47
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: they mess They tore their own cars up trying to

48
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: get away and it just did not work. So and

49
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: and I have to give I have to give some

50
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: praise to uh, the Sheriff's office. They absolutely brought extra

51
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: people in the intake to make sure everybody got processed

52
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: in the city had to recall guys into the toe

53
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: impound lot because they were just overflowing with cars coming in.

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: So my hope is that the word gets out to

55
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: everybody that, uh, you know, we're not playing anymore. We're

56
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: not going to tolerate this. It's done now. Most of

57
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: these people were from out of town, not not a

58
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: whole ton of locals, but they lessons are hard, Dan,

59
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: So they learned one.

60
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard me talking to Corey

61
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: Bumman in the in the previous in the previous about

62
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: an hour or so ago. And I was given credit

63
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: to Mark Jefferies because he announced yesterday that he's got

64
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: a emotion out there to effectively end the street takeovers

65
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: on Cincinnati streets, which I'll give credit where credit is due.

66
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: It looks like he's taken this seriously. But what I

67
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: was surprised about was that there was actually a social

68
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: media posting on this about this. I'm looking at it

69
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: right here, Ohio takeover right out, oh Columbus to Cincinnati,

70
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: the takeover right out, and it has the date on

71
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: here three fourteen, twenty six, eight pm and they ride

72
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: out at eight forty five and head on down to Cincinnati.

73
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: How did this get to the point to where these

74
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: people feel comfortable of putting this on social media that

75
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: we're going to ride down to Cincinnati and take over

76
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: the streets of Cincinnati.

77
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Well, they've always done that. I've posted many times where

78
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: takeovers were being planned. They have an event, they have

79
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: an event scheduler.

80
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: So it's fantastic. That's why that's why I love ninety nine,

81
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: because I had no idea that things like this were

82
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: going on.

83
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Well, you say, how did this happened? I'll tell you.

84
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: When you have a mayor and a city manager and

85
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: an Irish Rowlie telling your police chief we're we're not

86
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: going to enforce this type of stuff. We're not going

87
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: to no pursuit, We're not going to enforce it. It's

88
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: not a priority. Let me tell you what it is

89
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: a priority. It is dangerous and when the work gets out, Hey,

90
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's cool, They're not going to do nothing. And so

91
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: many officers have tried to shut those down and they've

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: been denied that glory. So I was very very pleased

93
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: that they they them and several other agencies I know

94
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Norwood was involved. Several agencies responded to the street takeover

95
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: because we've all had enough. It's dangerous.

96
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: Well, and again, props the Cincinnati Police for for handling

97
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: this probably in the best way possible. I think that, Uh,

98
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: it just shows and it really shows just just how

99
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: good Cincinnati Police are when it comes to, uh to

100
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: dealing with these issues. Now, we need the you know,

101
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: the other part of the legal system to do their

102
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: part and make these people face real and serious consequences

103
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: for being part of that.

104
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and you know what else we need. We need

105
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: to revise the O r C like Kentucky and so

106
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: many other states have that says when we touch these

107
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: cars and takeovers and drag racing and all of that,

108
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: that we can that we can take the cars, we

109
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: can sell, the cars, we can crush the cars. Lou though, Uh,

110
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: crush the cars all the time from street takeovers. The

111
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: crush them. Yeah, they yeah, seems like waste a lot

112
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: of well some of them the VEN numbers don't match.

113
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: There's or there's no VIN number. But you know a

114
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: lot of states take them and then they auction them.

115
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: The perpetrators don't get them back. So that's an expensive

116
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: hobby when you have a state law that allows you

117
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: to do things like that. So hopefully we're going to

118
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: move in that direction.

119
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: So tell me what you made of the news conference yesterday,

120
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: As short as it may have been. We had the

121
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: police chief Teresa Thiji, who, if I'm not mistaken, she

122
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: really didn't say anything. And it was all Steven M

123
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: who characterized the city investigation into the police chief as

124
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: a hatchet jump and I'm guessing he's not far off

125
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: the mark there.

126
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: No, it was a witch hunt from Jump. So everybody

127
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: with an IQ over seventy knew that. So they have

128
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: to keep extending it because they don't really have anything.

129
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: So speculation and conjecture here they're gonna they're going to

130
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: create something. And good luck to them with that because

131
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Steven M and the Sydney law firm. They don't. They

132
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: do not bluff. That's why Steven M has been my

133
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: attorney since twenty twenty two. They don't bluff and you

134
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: don't want to play chicken with them because you will lose.

135
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: This Thursday, the city is going to get their backsides

136
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: handed to them again in federal court against Steven M

137
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: and Michael Washington. So their final appeal is this week.

138
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: I'll be posting the audio link to that to that hearing,

139
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: and that's going to be glorious. I'm wishing them the

140
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: very best. And you know what, it's going to set

141
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: a precedent, Dan, you can't just wrongfully terminate people just

142
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: because you know the mayor or Cheryl Long get a

143
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: wild hair to do so. So you know, Chief Fiji

144
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: thirty five years, impeccable career, not a blemish in her

145
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: personnel file, not a single write up. Also, not a

146
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: single evaluation as chief. Same thing with Mike Washington, nothing

147
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: in his file, no blemishes in his file, not a

148
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: single evaluation as his tenure as chief. So they don't

149
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: properly document anything as to why they're moving towards a termination.

150
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: Same thing with Anita Pettis. I mean Cheryl Long is

151
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: impulsive and reckless in my opinion, and the city solicitor.

152
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: I don't know what their issue is or the head

153
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: of HR, but they probably all need to go back

154
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: to school, would be my thought.

155
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: Uh, Signal ninety nine, if you can hang around for

156
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: another segment, I want you to stay right there because

157
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: I've got some more questions for you on the other side.

158
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: So the signal ninety nine, if if you would please

159
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: stay right there, We'll get to a quick break and

160
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: continue on here on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

161
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: If i've KRZ the talk station, fifty five KRC. Happy

162
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas for having

163
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: a nice conversation this morning with our friends Signal ninety nine,

164
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: who is staying warm and not dealing with the nasty

165
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: weather that we have out there. As it relates to

166
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: Mike Washington, he was fired abruptly terminated in twenty twenty three,

167
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: so this is now twenty twenty six, so we're going

168
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 2: on three years with this case, and then we've got

169
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: a hearing coming up on Thursday. I don't know that

170
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: that will be the end of it, but it looks

171
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: like it could pave the way for the end of

172
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: that case to come. Do you have a sense that

173
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: they want to do the same thing with Teresa Thiji,

174
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: have this drag out another I mean, the city manager

175
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: will be gone by then. As I don't know if

176
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: you were listening to Chris Smithaman yesterday, but his thought

177
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: was that this is the beginning of the exit strategy

178
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 2: for the for the city manager who's looking to get

179
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: out and get onto her next gig.

180
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,359
Speaker 1: Well, and she really needs to be somebody else's problem.

181
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: That that may be why she got such a stellar review,

182
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: which was laughable to say the very least. Her her

183
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: evaluation was written by all fairy cell things. But maybe

184
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: that's the window. You know, firing a city manager is difficult,

185
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: so you know, maybe in my perfect world, this paves

186
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: the way for her to brand herself to some other city,

187
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe in California or something. I don't know, but far

188
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: away from us. And wherever she goes Dan, I'll troll

189
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: her there too, I don't care. You know, she's she's

190
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: you know.

191
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: You're taking any of those personally, are you?

192
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I kind of am. You know, she blamed

193
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: me for all of these threats against her and death threats,

194
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: which I'm sorry, I don't believe she had actual death threats.

195
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: I get death threats all the time. I don't have

196
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm not screaming for protection. I mean, come on, you know. So, yeah,

197
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: it's a little personal. And what she's done to Teresa

198
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: cig and what she's done to Michael Washington, both chiefs

199
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: of the CPD and the CFT both settled in steep tradition.

200
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you're aware that the Cincinnati Fire Department is

201
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: the first professional fire department in the country and the CPD. Yeah,

202
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: the CPD is the second professional police department in the country.

203
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: And we've worked completely well, very well. We've performed extremely

204
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: well for oh, I don't know, over one hundred years.

205
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: But you know, she has to come in and try

206
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: to fire the chiefs of both agencies over her ineptness,

207
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

208
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have said before that you look at Mike Washington,

209
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: who did not want to play along with the ideas

210
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 2: of political correctness or diversity equity in inclusion. He wanted

211
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: to deal with the realities of what was going on

212
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: in the Fire department that did not sit well with

213
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: the city manager. And then in the other case, of

214
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: the police chief. She tried to, in my opinion, tried

215
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: to accommodate these notions of the city manager and what

216
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 2: was important to her and what was important to the

217
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: city leadership while maintaining a viable police force. And so

218
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: you've got sort of two people, two chiefs, on the

219
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: opposite end of the spectrum when it came to dealing

220
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: with the city manager. But both of them sort of

221
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: wind up in the same place, dismissed, and now the

222
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: likelihood the specter of both of them having multimillion dollar

223
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: lawsuits against the City of Cincinnati. So I look at that,

224
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: and that says to me that when it comes to

225
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: dealing with someone who has an ideology like this and

226
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: wants to pursue these sorts of goals, when it comes

227
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: to you know, DEI and political correctness, you just can't win.

228
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: You can no matter how you try to pick whatever

229
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: vector you're going to come at this from.

230
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Well, Chief Washington told her, we have diversity. We've got women,

231
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: we've got people of color, we've got people within the

232
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: LGBTQ spectrum. We have all of that already. But we're

233
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: not going to take an unqualified candidate and jump them

234
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: over a more qualified candidate under DEI and call it,

235
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: you know fair, We're not going to do that. They're

236
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: going to earn their rank. And she did not like that.

237
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: With Teresa Fiji, Chief Fiji. The problem was, you know,

238
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: the chief worked on House Bill sixty sixty seven with

239
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Cindy Abrams, getting that going, which is phenomenal. And then

240
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: you know she incorporated a lot of new technology, of

241
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: course's chief. But her crucial mistake, her error, which wasn't

242
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: a mistake at all, was going to a chief meeting

243
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: for the county which they have every month and saying, hey,

244
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: can we all work together? Can we help? Can we

245
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: can we you know, get this crime knocked down? Can

246
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: we get the judges on board to do their jobs?

247
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: And they literally muzzled her for that and made a

248
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: public statement that she wasn't you know, allowed to make

249
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: statements or do things like that without permission from the

250
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: city Manager's office. I mean, are you kidding me? She's

251
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: the chief of police of the Cincinnati Police Department. She

252
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: was well within her right to do that. And Dan,

253
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, back in August, the mayor was

254
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: absolutely praising her, praising her all the time. He praised

255
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: her in July, praised her in August, he praised her

256
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: in September. And I said several times in several different posts,

257
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Chief Fiji, they're going to sacrifice you. They're worried about

258
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: this election. They're going to sacrifice you. You know, come

259
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: out now and get on the record about what's going on,

260
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: because they're going to use you and dismiss you to further,

261
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, their chances of reelection. And that's exactly what

262
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: they did. She never did anything wrong. She did what

263
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: she was supposed to do, you according to them, and

264
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: they praised her for it, and then you know, and

265
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: then they sacrificed her. So now they're going to Now

266
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: they're going to pay the price, and we're going to

267
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: pay the price.

268
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it, go ahead, No, I was just

269
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 2: going to say it. I mean, I'm listening to you

270
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: talk about this. And I remember a time and not

271
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: that long ago, when Cincinnati had a reputation around the

272
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: state and around the country as literally having the best

273
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: run professional police force in the entire country. And there

274
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: are people who legitimately thought that and pointed to the

275
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: excellence that that was exhibited here on a regular basis,

276
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: and it just seems that we are so far away

277
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: from that now. And uh and I just wonder, I

278
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: just wonder what kind of perception other police and law

279
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: enforcement officials have of the Cincinnati Police departm now that

280
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: they see that we've got all this politics entwined with

281
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: with what's happening.

282
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's sad and unfortunate, and it's happening

283
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: all over the country. You know, you're having these far

284
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: left liberal ideologies rooted in you know, the elections office

285
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: and the auditor's office and the mayor and the city manager,

286
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: and it just goes on and on and on. They

287
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, the key, the cornerstone last two years ago

288
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: was getting a liberal in the prosecutor's office. That's that

289
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: was the key, That was the last domino standing, was

290
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: to get a liberal into the prosecutor's office. Because now

291
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: they've got the courts, they've got the city, they've got

292
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the prosecutor's office, they've got the sheriff's office. It's a lot.

293
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: It's a lot. So unless the voters wait up and

294
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: start doing their due diligence by actually voting, nothing's going

295
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: to change because they're doing exactly what they campaigned they

296
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: were going to do all right.

297
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: All right, signal ninety nine, You've got time to hang

298
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: around for one more quick segment. Absolutely, okay, stay right there,

299
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: we'll get a quick break in here and get back

300
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: with signal ninety nine here on fifty five KRCV Talk Station.

301
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRCV talk station. Dan carrollin for Brian Thomas

302
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 2: and spending some time today with signal ninety nine on

303
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: the phone and signal ninety nine. It's great to talk

304
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 2: to you in person. Let me ask you about this.

305
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: Our friend Todd Zenzer has been looking into what he

306
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: calls receipts recipients of leverage support as it relates to

307
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: City Hall and these different moneies that go out to

308
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: support these different NGOs and certain government functions and things

309
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: like that. And he writes this, he writes it, and

310
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: this has been going on. He's been looking at the

311
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: period of twenty twenty to twenty twenty six, and he

312
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: writes this that the first thing you notice is many

313
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: of these same organizations received funding every year, meaning the

314
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: process is not a true competition. And more significantly, these

315
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: organizations are essentially part of the city government. Without the

316
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: transparency and accountability and so he's got it all deep.

317
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: I mean, and you know the great work that Todd

318
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: Zenzer does. Do you have a sense of where this

319
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: is going and the kind of thing that he is

320
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: likely to uncover the more he looks into this.

321
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about Todd Zender. He is

322
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: one of the most phenomenal finders of the truth in

323
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: the numbers I've ever seen. He's almost like a savant.

324
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy to watch can work. You could

325
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: give him a stack of reports and he'll find it.

326
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: Believe me, he's gonna find it. He's gonna run it down.

327
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: The problem is they don't care. They know he's a watchdog,

328
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: they know he's a whistleblower. They simply don't care. I mean,

329
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: they feel the same way about me though, you know,

330
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: they think I'm just a fly in the oint. Man,

331
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm a hindrance. You know, Todd's gonna find it. And

332
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: I post stuff that Todd does quite frequently because he

333
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: amazes me. He doesn't hedge at all. There's no exaggeration

334
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: in the work that he does. He just shows you

335
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: the truth. Here it is boom and again the problem is,

336
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the media outlets don't really

337
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: cover it. It's not that sensational, I guess, but it is.

338
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, all of it, it's all important. I mean,

339
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: look at three CDC, how much control they have in

340
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: our city. They're in the pocket of the mayor, or

341
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: he's in their pocket. I'm not quite sure at this

342
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: point who controls who. But it's ridiculous to me the

343
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: contracts that they give and the processes that they do,

344
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: and they're just completely unchecked.

345
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, I remember I was stunned when he found

346
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: the timesheets and the documentation for Iris Rolie, and he

347
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: wrote about and pointed and he didn't write it, he

348
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: didn't make it up. He pointed out how several of

349
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 2: the timesheets that she submitted for the work that she

350
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: had done to the city manager's office in order to

351
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: get paid were simply he talked about how they were

352
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: simply just appeared to be photo copies of previous timesheets

353
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: with the same misspellings, right, and they yeah, and the

354
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: same verbatim. You know, went to this meeting, did this

355
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: you know, did this work at X, Y and Z

356
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: and And he pointed that out and literally there was

357
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: no no curiosity, no response, no call for an investigation.

358
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing as it related to Iris Rolie and the

359
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: the uh you know, the nice contract that she has

360
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: with the city of incident.

361
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Well, she was rewarded with that new contract because she

362
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: got the mayor reelected, plain and simple. She did the work,

363
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: she got him reelected, and you know, because of that,

364
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: she got rewarded with this new contract, which cracked me

365
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: out because you know, over the summer, when those videos

366
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: came out, the FOP released them, We released them of

367
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: her harassing police officers dan Town, actually endangering them and

368
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: interfering with that. A council member let it slip that

369
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: she was going to be terminated on Wednesday. Wednesday came around,

370
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: she wasn't terminated. And then Thursday, share Along tells several

371
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: heads of different departments and the FOP that Iris will

372
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: no longer be affiliated with the police department at all,

373
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: and in capacity that we're not going to terminate her,

374
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: We're going to use her, you know, for something else.

375
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: And that's not true. I mean, that whole thing was

376
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: a lie. So she still has her fingers in the

377
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police Department. She still has her fingers and what

378
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: she will allow the state to do as far as

379
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: sending us help what OSP is allowed to do and

380
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: not do in reference to the collaborative agreement, and the

381
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: whole thing's laughable. So I again, who's running who? Because

382
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't believe Sharah long Run is Iris's boss. Technically

383
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: she is, but I'm pretty sure IRIS calls all the

384
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: shots and Cheryl just yes, ma'am.

385
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: You know, and we're not talking about chump change here.

386
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: We're talking about the extension of this contract pays her

387
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: in excess of five hundred, five hundred thousand dollars between

388
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven.

389
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is serious money, and it's

390
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: a there's no there's no there's no call for, you know,

391
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: a thorough vetting of this. There's no call for an

392
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: examination of this, an accounting or a reckoning in any

393
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: sort of way of of exactly what that money is

394
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: being spent on.

395
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're not going to question Irish.

396
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: On five hundred and seventy grets anything. Amazing, absolutely amazing.

397
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what, they could pay me just

398
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: seven grant and I could do a better job.

399
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 2: Dam should go down, to go down. And pass out

400
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: a little literature down there by you know, government Square, and.

401
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: I would have.

402
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: You know, some springles and stuff like potato chips, take

403
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: care of take care of violent crime. That that's how

404
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: you saw violent crime in the city of Cincinnati.

405
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: You know, if they put me in government charge of

406
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: Government Square for about two weeks and they gave me

407
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: the resources of the CPD and the the h c

408
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: s O, A government square wouldn't be an issue anymore.

409
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: And you take some skittles down there, some stuff like that.

410
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I throw skittles at people really hard. You know

411
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: it's there would be no snacks.

412
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: Dan, I can tell you that some oranges, some oranges,

413
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: like a halftime during the soccer game. You know, you

414
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: got to have some oranges, orange slices, things like that.

415
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: Take it easy, kids, enjoy an orange slice single ninety nine.

416
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you, appreciate the insight.

417
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Hey, can I say one more than please do?

418
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Please do? Go ahead.

419
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Did you catch the statement that the chief of staff

420
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: or the mayor put out yesterday in reference to that

421
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: press conference by steevem.

422
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh No, Tell me about that. I did not see

423
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: the response to that.

424
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it says the Mayor's office welcome to results of

425
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: the ongoing process and does not have a role in

426
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: administrative personnel matters such as these. We remained focused on

427
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: supporting the city administration and CPD and keeping residents safe.

428
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard when I saw that.

429
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: Keeping keeping people safe, that's the number that is. It's

430
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: the number one priority, the number one.

431
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the mayor, according to the mayors, and

432
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: he's always been.

433
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: Safe, absolutely, because I never talked to anyone Johnson.

434
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: You say it's not safe, you're a racist, and hear

435
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: this and that.

436
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: No, I don't know about you, but I never hear

437
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: from anyone who goes downtown and here's their windows smashed

438
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: out or gets punched in the face by a thug

439
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: or you know, gets a gun stuck in their face

440
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 2: and gets held up for the cash in their pocket.

441
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: And that that I never hear from anyone. Stuff like

442
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: that that happens downtown. Stuff that doesn't. Yeah, you know,

443
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: never hear about it.

444
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: It's a haven of safety downtown.

445
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: Signal ninety nine. It is always great to hear your voice.

446
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,320
