WEBVTT - Mike Allen Saturday Mid-Day -- 12/13/25 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.720 Saturday midday on what's going to be a very very 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:09.480 nasty day. Cold weather advisory and effect from seven o'clock 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:14.520 tonight to eleven o'clock tomorrow morning. Snow expected, some times 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:20.159 heavy total accumulation between four and six inches. Did I 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.120 tell you I hate this weather? 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.000 Hate it? Anyway? 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:30.319 This week you probably saw it. Australia, we'll tell you 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.840 what took some guts. They banned social media for kids 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.960 sixteen and under. They become the first country to do 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.600 that and tell you, I don't know about you. I 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.640 hope we follow that pretty soon, but at any rate, 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:50.600 Australia has implemented a world first law that effectively bans 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:55.720 children under sixteen from social media. It places the responsibility 0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.360 for enforcement on the social media companies. That's where be, 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.399 not the children or their parents. Just some details of 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:11.280 the band. The affected platforms the ones you'd expect, Facebook, Instagram, threads, Snapchat, 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:16.200 TikTok x, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, and kick Now. There are 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:21.080 some platforms that are exempt WhatsApp, discord, roboox. I don't 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.479 know about any of these, Pinterest, YouTube kits and Google 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:30.320 classroom they're exempt. Okay, enforcement and penalties social media companies 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.560 must take reasonable steps to prevent underage users from creating 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.520 or accessing accounts. Failure to do so could result in 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.360 fines of up to thirty three million bucks American for 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:48.320 serious or repeated breaches. They want to age verification on 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.680 these platforms before you can even get on. And again 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.640 no penalties for the teens or the parents. And the goal, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.200 according to the Australian government, they introduce this band to 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.360 protect young people from the negative impacts of social media 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:12.079 such as harmful content, misogynistic material, content promoting eating disorders 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.080 or suicide. And boy, we're gonna talk about this a 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:23.440 little bit later, cyberbullying, huge, addictive decision, addictive design features. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.480 So the Nation of Australia putting the foot down on 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.200 social media. So you know, I tell you what I say. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.519 Congratulations to Austria for doing that and having the guts 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.400 to do it. And from everything that I've read about 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.680 this week, there was a massive push from lobbyists and 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.440 others not to do this. There will be litigation, I'm certain, 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.280 but at least it's the first step. The social media 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.320 companies again from what I've read, they poured millions of 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.680 bucks into lobbying and everything else. To try to stop 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.520 this from happening, but it did. You know, I've said 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.720 this before, or make no mistake, I would not want 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.720 to be a teenager growing up in this environment today. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.720 I just wouldn't. And you know you can say, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.760 you're an old fuddy dady blah blah blah, but I wouldn't. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.560 And I feel sorry for these kids today, and I 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.440 also would not want to be a parent raising teenagers 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.000 in this environment. Let me ask you a question, and 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:30.400 I've asked this before, when was the last time you 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.920 drove by an athletic field or you know, even like 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:39.160 a vacant lot and saw kids playing baseball, football, basketball, whatever. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.920 I don't mean, you know, formal team sports. I mean 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.960 just a group of boys or girls doing that. I 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.160 can't tell you the last time I've seen that, And 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.000 I'm not kidding you. You just don't see it at 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.520 all anymore because they're all indoors, you know, doing the 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.920 scrolling things on their phone. You know, I tell you 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:03.520 those kind of things that I talked about before, scrub 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.160 football games, baseball games at nighttime, kick the can. We 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.440 did that every day when the weather was permitting in 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.360 the summer, fall and even the winter. And again, yeah, 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.200 I don't want people saying, well, you know, he's just 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.160 an old fuddy duddy, always talking about how it was 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.040 when he grew up. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.799 But boy, I tell you what it was different. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:23.760 You know. 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.360 The biggest worry that we had was breaking a window 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:32.120 at the Hay Memorial Stadium on Lucina Drive, where we 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.480 paid played. And if you busted a window, that was 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.000 a big deal. But you know what, it would almost 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.480 be worth it now just to see that there are 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.920 some kids out there doing what kids are supposed to do, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.480 playing games, working, shoveling snow, cutting grass, and not thumbing 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.440 through your cell phone. You know, you never see that 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.480 stuff anymore. You just don't. Kids just don't do that anymore. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.719 You know, I'd shoveling snow. I'll tell you what. As 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.360 early as we possibly could. When I'm getting yelled at 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.719 by people, we were out there making good money, I 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.360 mean really good money shoveling snow. I can tell you, 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.359 In all the places I've lived, I've never had a 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.039 kid bang on my door and say, hey, mister, you know, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.239 can I shovel your snow? 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.080 It just doesn't happen. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:23.839 You know. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.919 Another example too of kids not socializing anymore. It's the 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.479 dating ritual. At least when I was coming up, it 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.520 was a ritual. You had to first of all fight 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.560 your brothers and sisters for the phone. But before that 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.680 you had to screw up the courage to call the 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.400 girl to ask her out, then pick her up the 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.359 door and meet the parents. Apparently that doesn't happen anymore. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.320 You know, people just show up at a mall or 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.880 a restaurant or whatever. I mean, this is really serious stuff, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.720 it is, according to AI, and I think AI hit 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.760 the name on the head with this one. Research and 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:07.080 official health advisors indicate that social media presents a meaningful 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.840 risk of harm to youth, contributing to a national youth 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:17.120 mental health crisis. Studies show a strong correlation between excessive 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:22.320 social media use and increased rates of depression, anxiety, poor 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:27.400 body image, sleep deprivation, and children and adolescents as well. 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.160 Here's just some of the key concerns that had been 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:36.960 outlined with this use of social media by kids, mental 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.120 health issues. That's got to be the biggest one. Studies 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.479 indicate that teams who spend more than three hours a 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.920 day on social media double their risk of experiencing negative 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:53.200 mental health outcomes. The constant viewing of curated highlight reels 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.000 of others' lives can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:04.040 self esteem, social comparison, often exacerbating existing mental health struggles. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.760 Brain development basically says that you're on this social media 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.160 all day, your brain's not going to get developed as 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.640 it should, and I think that kind of speaks for itself. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:16.960 Sleep deprivation. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.160 I guess there's a lot of kids laying up in 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.000 bed when they're supposed to be asleep, playing around on 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.960 their phones, which of course results in sleep deprivation. This 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.480 one is a big one, and I've had this in 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.200 my law practice a number of times. Cyber bowling and 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:39.000 inappropriate content social media platforms can be then used for 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:44.760 cyber bullying and online harassment, which, unlike traditional bowling bullying, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.640 can be constant. Additionally, algorithms may feed children harmful content, 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:55.400 such as that promoting self harm, eating disorders, or risky challenges. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.640 We've seen examples of that just over the last couple 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.400 of months. Social skills development, time spent on screens can 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.600 replace face to face interactions, hindering the development of crucial 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:13.320 in person social skills like reading, nonverbal cues and empathy. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.240 It doesn't really get much worse than that, does it. 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.480 I think the case is stated pretty well, and social 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.840 media is also affecting these teenagers'. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:27.240 Ability to work. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.640 There's a lady, her name is Emily Jackis Jaksh. She's 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.319 an author and she's an HR consultant. She writes extensively 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.800 on this issue, and she's also the. 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.360 Mother of an eleven year old boy. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.800 Here's what she writes, pretty basic and to the point, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.240 and I'm going to quote her here. 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:47.800 Let's be blunt. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.280 Social media is destroying our young people. Close quote. I'll 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.600 tell you hard to argue with that. Pretty strong, but 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.280 hard to argue with it. She goes on to say, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:04.400 we've handed had smartphones and unfettered internet access, and in return, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:11.120 we're watching their mental health crumble, anxiety, depression, addiction to scrolling, 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.760 a complete lack of resilience. It goes on quite a bit, 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.959 you know. She talks about her eleven year old son. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.520 She says, last year, my then eleven year old son 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.720 was like every other kid. He had to have one 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.679 of my old iPhones, and I thought I could handle. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.120 I had a handle on what he was up to, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.800 she says, but boy, I was wrong. 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.800 He was begging me for TikTok Snapchat because all of 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.960 his friends had it. I said no, I'd already made 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.880 the decision that he wouldn't have access to social media 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.160 like in Australia until he was at least sixteen. She 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.880 makes this point, She's right, kids are more tech savty 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.880 than savvy than we give them credit. For. Her son, 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.959 she says, set up a TikTok account behind her back 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.320 and when she found that, she was horrified. Says that 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:08.960 that was her wake up call. Now. Ms Jacks suggests 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.160 four things that we need to do, in her words, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.720 to fix this mess. Number one, no smartphones before high school. 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.400 It's hard to disagree with that. No social media until 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:27.640 age sixteen. Again, that's what Australia's doing. We need to 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.000 and this is kind of a movement that I've seen 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.920 some action on. 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.000 Phone free schools. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.400 I don't know how teachers put up with it, the 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.600 constant interruptions, but you don't need these things in school. 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.800 And her last point is interesting and I think accurate. 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.720 She says, give kids more independence in the real world. 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.439 Let them walk to school, ride their bikes, make mistakes, 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:54.280 solve problems, talk to people, let them actually be kids again. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:11:01.439 Good advice, I'm certain. Okay, Fortunately, you're not gonna believe this. 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:06.240 There is some bipartisan action in Congress to deal with 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.560 this issue. And you might have just heard me say 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:15.840 bipartisan action, which we never see anymore. This issue is 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:21.679 Taylor made for bipartisan action on this. There's no liberal 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.440 way of looking at this, no conservative way. The only 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.960 way to look at it is is the damage and 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:31.800 in my humble opinion, the real damage that this is 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.520 doing the kids. Okay, here's a couple things cooking in Congress. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.800 The Kids Online Safety Act KOSA. This bill, sponsored by 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:45.960 Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, and Marshall Blackburn, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.600 of course, Republican from Tennessee, has strong bipartisan support, with 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.360 over half the Senate backing it. 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:53.440 COSA. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:59.360 KOSA focuses on providing miners and parents with safeguards such 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.280 as option to disable addictive features and opt out of 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.760 personalized algorithmic recommendations. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:08.640 Say that five times fis. 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.680 You know, I don't know obviously that could help, but 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.280 I think a total ban like Australia is what we need. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.120 Okay, there's another one, bipartisan. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.280 It's called the Kids Off Social Media Act COSMA, that 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.680 was introduced by Senator Brian Schultz, Democrat of Hawaii and 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.679 our own Ted Cruz. This by bartisan bill was reintroduced 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.600 May twenty twenty four, ordered reported out by the Senate 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.040 Committee Commerce Committee in June of nineteen twenty five. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:40.840 It takes a. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.920 More direct approach by prohibiting children under thirteen from creating 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:51.600 or maintaining social media accounts. I like that beginning algorithmic 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:56.720 recommendation systems for users under seventeen, requiring schools to block 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:02.360 social media access on federally funded networks. So there is 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.880 some action on this, as there should be. Again, it's 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.360 good to see that it's by partisan. Here's what I 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.120 think we need to do, and I think we need 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:16.640 to do it now. Watch Australia. Keep an eye on Australia, 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.840 and I'm going to to see how this is working 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.960 over there. There will be bookoo challenges to it, there's 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.040 no doubt about it. Probably already has been. But I 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.480 love the Aussies. My daughter's living over there now, but 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.439 let them be the guinea pig. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:32.920 For this thing. 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.480 I think we need to enact the cosma we just 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.000 talked about, or I think probably better. No, Kosa is 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.280 the better one. Cosma, I'm sorry, kids off social media 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.000 act Cosma is the better one. That's the one sponsored 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:54.760 by Ted Cruz and Brian Shatz. So it's a problem. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.120 I think we're sticking our head in the sand if 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.280 we don't realize that it's a pro It breaks my 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.720 heart to see these kids, and I saw something not 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.760 too long ago. The average time per day online is 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.840 like three to four and in some cases five hours. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.520 That ain't good. These kids ought to be outside playing 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:20.640 shoveling snow mow and grass, playing football, playing baseball. And 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.160 I don't mean team sports. I mean just a bunch 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.560 of boys or girls of the neighborhood getting out and 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.720 doing something. We absolutely have to have some action on this, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.200 and hopefully we will. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.480 Anyway, that's what I think. I want to know what 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:35.880 you think. 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.960 Seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred, the big 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.120 one are the numbers? Call on Saturday midday? Well, I'll 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.760 tell you what a lot of people want to talk 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.720 about this topic. So let's get to it. How's about Steve. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:49.960 Let's talk to Steve. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:54.960 Hey, good morning, Steve morning, How are you. I'm good? 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:55.920 What you got for me? 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.560 I just had wanted to get your thoughts on the 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.920 you know, the social media band. What impact do you 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.160 think that would have on you know, getting a political 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.960 message out from you know, either side really, but since 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.440 there's a you know, a recent surge in the Republican 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.920 side of getting that message out, do you think that 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:17.960 would have a big impact? 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:18.400 No? 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.920 Not, And I'm talking about a band for those sixteen 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.440 and under. Actually Australia's is under sixteen. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:26.480 That's it. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.720 Uh, you know at sixteen obviously you can't vote. There's 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.240 some people that want to make at sixteen. But I 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.840 don't think it would affect what adults do politically online 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.520 at all. This is all about kids, and it's all 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.040 about tearing the kids away from their damn cell phones. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.640 Yeah. I just thought since there was like a big, 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.480 you know emphasis on indoctrinating kids one way or the other, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.640 you get a head start, you know with the messaging 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:57.440 ads and stuff. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.240 They might and I unders contact with. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.960 I do understand that, but I don't know. I mean 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.560 my thought is, let's kind of see what happens in Australia. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.480 I mean, they're the guinea pigs. But boy, there are 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.720 experts everywhere that will tell you that social media is 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.960 really harming our kids. I don't think it takes too 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.240 much to figure that out, but you know, we'll see 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:20.640 what happens. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.000 By I agree. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.880 I have the same issue with my kids as well. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.720 Yeah, well that's like I say, you know, Steve, I'm 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.840 glad I'm not raising the teenager now. I mean, there's 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.640 so much pressure on him, especially young women too. You know, 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.880 they're compared to people that are on social media, and 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.960 I don't know, it's just a lot, I think, but 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.560 I guess we'll have to see. 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.240 Yeah, I appreciate sure feedback. That just popped in my 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.560 mind when I was listening to your topic this morning. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.880 Thank you, Steve, call anytime, all right, thank you, thank you. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:03.960 All right, let's talk too. How's about Barry up in Miamisburg. Hey, 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.879 good morning, Barry, Hey, good morning. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.760 What'd you got when you and I were in college 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.840 and in high school? If we wanted to, we could 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.119 bring in a tape recorder and record the lecture. Do 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:18.880 you remember that? 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:19.720 You know what? 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.080 I didn't do it, but I do kind of remember 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:23.119 some people doing it. 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:29.920 Yeah, some of us who had really poor not taking skills, 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:36.240 did it right. I was one of them. Since then, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:41.639 they have banned tape recorders. They're trying to ban phones 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.399 that are being used to record. My question is not 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.359 so much phones are disturbance. Who cares that the kid 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.920 next to you is playing Candy Crush. It's not a thing. 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.520 My question is what are the schools and the government 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.439 trying to hide. What don't they want the parents to 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.440 know their teaching. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.040 That's a good point, it's a very good point. Let 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:07.760 me address it. 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.119 Uh, there have been proposals we talked about them a 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.520 couple of years ago on this show, whereby somebody put 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:15.600 this idea forward. 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.360 In a classroom, you have a PA system. 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.000 I guess that's ancient terminology, but you know it ought 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.000 to be set up in a classroom. I think that 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.159 the teachers are their videotape in the classes, videotape that 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.639 and it can be watched by only by parents or 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.359 guardians of these kids. That lets teachers know, hey, you 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.440 know what, you're gonna have to answer to somebody if 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:45.800 you start spewing all the garbage in the indoctrination. That 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.200 would take care of that. Of course, the teachers' unions 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.440 don't want to have anything to do. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.680 I'll never allow that because they don't want you to know. 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:53.159 I know. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:57.240 That's what's all about. The government doesn't want you to 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.719 know what they're teaching their kids, and they're you candy 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:05.359 crust or another game as an excuse boo boo. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.800 Well you know what, and I guess I understand what 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.440 you're saying, Barry, But I mean a huge problem. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.399 And if you look at it, I think you'd agree 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:13.679 with me. 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.399 Is this whole social media for these teenagers and you know, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.360 we got to do something, I think and I guess 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.879 we'll have to watch Australia to see how it works there. 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.240 Well, you've heard my few things. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:31.600 I appreciate it. Thank you, Barry. All right, let's see. 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.640 Let me just say something first. I see where Barry's 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.919 going with it. You know, he wants to have kids 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.359 be able to record teachers. And I'll tell you I 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.280 can see the benefit in that, I really can. You know, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.439 his teachers got to know that somebody's watching them. I 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.040 like my idea better. You know, either audio tape or 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.840 videotape them. Well, you know when they got to hide, 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.879 really and you could make that where the only people 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:02.080 that have access to that are the parents, that's it, 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:03.680 and the teacher obviously. 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.520 But I guess we have to see how that goes. 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.639 U two problems there, the whole social media problem and 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.480 then obviously the indoctrination problem. 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.760 Hey, let's talk to Keith. Hey, good morning, Keith. 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.440 Hey, Mike, how are you. I'm good, big fan of yours. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.760 The prosecutors officuely needs more people like you in it 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:23.200 right now. 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:23.560 Thanks. 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.800 But my thing with the social media ban for kids is, 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:28.640 you know, one, I agree with the problem. Social media 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.960 is a problem for kids, but that's a parents' job 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:32.720 to do. And the last thing we need to do 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.919 is hand over power to these companies to regulate us, 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:41.199 and you get Democrats a weapon to use against Republicans. Like, honestly, 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.560 Republicans stand for free speech right now and they need 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.320 to stick with that message otherwise they're gonna be a 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.760 blood bath in the next election. Well, so I think, 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.600 you know, you look at like what's going on in Europe, 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.920 what's going on in Australia. You know, in Australia, they're 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.320 not banning Blue Sky, which is the most liberal platform 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.600 out there. And so I think your idea is great. 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.000 You know, one, get rid of cell phones in school. 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.280 I'm down with that, and I think too with that, 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.800 say that, you know, we're going to videotape these classrooms 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.680 so that the kids can have access to the information 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.600 if they want to record it, that may be able 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.160 to get around for the for the teachers. I think, 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:17.280 you know, right now, Republicans are seen as the free 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.960 speech party, and I think they need to focus on that, 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.159 and I'll you know, honestly, they need to pass some 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.080 of these regulations that Trump is put in place, get 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.359 some of the executive orders made into law, and stop 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.160 blocking the judicial nominations, because that's right now, the Republicans 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.320 are not doing anything to differentiate themselves from what's going 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.480 on in Europe or from even the Democrats at home. 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:37.399 You know, they're going crazy in Europe. 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.400 I thought I saw something this week where the UK 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:44.080 they're actually locking people up for putting stuff on social 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:45.840 media that the government doesn't like. 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.320 That is frightening. I mean, in a lot of look 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:48.480 at it. 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.120 I mean, Mike, look at the numbers. It's insane, and honestly, 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.560 you know, if the lawn must think about it, what 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:55.800 you will if he wouldn't have bought Twitter and made 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.119 it free, like a lot of this wouldn't be out there. 0:21:57.960 --> 0:21:59.040 In the public sphere. 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:00.959 And look at look at the numbers of people who 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:05.000 have been incarcerated in UK for online posts and harassment 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:06.840 and that type of thing. And it's through the roof, 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:08.719 and it's only gonna get worse, you know. And now 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:10.960 they want to start a war with Russia, and that's 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:13.480 you know, I'm not a fan of Russia by any means, 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.440 But do you think that the immigrants are gonna be 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:17.119 the ones that go fight that war? No, it's going 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:19.960 to be the you know, the native population. And the 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.560 governments in Europe right now are out of control and 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:23.960 they have an agenda. 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.479 They're going down to crapper and the President is not 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:30.080 shy about pointing that out. And he's right, He's absolutely right. 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:32.639 I see your point, Keith, and I appreciate you. 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:33.600 Let me know it. 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.520 Hey, thank you, Mike big fan, Okay, thank you? 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.080 Yeah, I mean, And Keith, he makes a point. 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:44.520 If Republicans hancho this thing, and it looks like, honestly 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.520 from what I've read this week, that it is truly bipartisan. 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:50.600 Probably about the only thing I don't know that I 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:57.040 agree with US Republicans losing credibility on free speech if 0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.960 it's limited to kids under sixteen. 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.040 It's just something that if you look. 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:04.719 At it, and I don't have kids any I mean 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:08.000 I have kids, but not young kids anymore. This is 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:12.639 really this problem is at a crisis point where I 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.760 think we're gonna lose a whole generation of kids if 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.199 something isn't done about it. I mean, it's just you know, 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.880 and I know every generation says, well, this generation coming 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.040 up is nothing like us, blah blah blah. 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:28.560 I get that this is different. I mean, it just is. 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:34.400 Kids are not socializing. They're not outside playing football, baseball, 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.880 basketball with their buddies. You know, they're not going on 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:42.639 bike hikes some locations. I didn't want to let my 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.399 parents know where I went, but at least I was 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.480 doing something outside. I don't know, I just I think 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.040 it's a really big problem. We got a perfect setup 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:54.400 with Australia. Let them do it. Maybe take a year 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:56.640 or so and take a look at how it's working 0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:00.119 out for them. Hey, let's talk to Patty. Hey, good morning, Patty, 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:01.960 Morning Mike. 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:09.359 I haven't heard anyone touch on the subject of why 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.520 aren't these parents taking control of these kids? When my 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.520 mom said no or my dad said no, you didn't 0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:17.760 go against them. You did what they told you to do, 0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.600 and if you didn't there was a consequence. There's no 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:23.679 consequences for these kids today. 0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:24.399 I got it. 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:24.960 They do what. 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:29.720 Girlever they want and there's no consequences because you might 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:30.960 hurt their feelings. 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:33.280 No, I got that. I'll tell you what. 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.040 That wasn't the case in my house and wasn't the 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:37.880 case in my neighborhood at all. 0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.320 But I do understand that. And the. 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.800 Person that I quoted, I'm trying to find her here. 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.080 You know, she had an eleven year old kid and 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.960 the kid had her old iPhone. She took it away 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.040 from him and gave him a flip phone. Yeah, it 0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:55.879 does have to start with the parents, and I get that, 0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.480 but I don't know. There are many that think, and obviously, 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:02.320 you know, whatever the legislator is in Australia thought that, hey, 0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.879 this is such a bad problem. Yes, parents, obviously we 0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:08.639 need your help, but we got to do something. 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:10.520 I guess that's the thought. I don't know. 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.360 Well, you know, this this all broke down, Mike when 0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.280 it came to the family unit breaking down. 0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:18.919 Absolutely. 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:21.960 You know how many kids today have a mom and 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.480 a dad that sit and have dinner every night. If 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.760 I'm in a restaurant, now I'm a senior citizen. If 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.000 I'm in a restaurant and a family sits down, the 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.120 first thing you see is all four of them take 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.639 out the cellphone. Ye I have no problem going to 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.440 that table and say, listen, Before you know it, these 0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:40.080 kids are going to be out of your house and 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.240 you don't even know what color their eyes are. 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.879 That's a really good did you speak up though? 0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:48.160 Oh yes, I always do. 0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:48.639 What what? 0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:52.199 What's the response that you get from some of the parents. 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.359 Some of them just look at me and smile, and 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.440 some of them say thank you. 0:25:57.440 --> 0:25:57.679 You know. 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.640 And if there's a family in a restaurant where their 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:04.560 children are well behaved, I always compliment them because I 0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:06.200 didn't go out to dinner to put up with your 0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:07.719 brat running around my table. 0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:12.840 I love it. I love Joe my mom, God rest 0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:16.280 her soul. She wouldn't have tolerated any of that crap. 0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.240 I mean, no way, no, I don't. 0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:20.880 I don't tolerate. 0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:22.320 I love children. 0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:27.040 I've got five grandsons. My youngest grandson is fourteen, and 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:30.440 he is so smart on that cell phone, but he 0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.399 also has a life outside that cell phone. We have 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.840 a date every Saturday night. We go out. That cell 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:37.879 phone is put away. 0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:42.160 Good, good parents, not to do that. 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.000 It's gonna start. It's gonna start the home and we 0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:51.080 got to quit putting all this crap on the government. 0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:54.320 Take responsibility for your children. You had them, they didn't 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:55.080 ask to be born. 0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.200 I get it, I get it. Thank you for the call, Patty. 0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:59.040 I'm bumping up against the news. 0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:02.879 You know. Yeah, I hear what she's saying, But I 0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:03.879 don't know. I guess. 0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:06.760 I just think that the problem has become so acute 0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:10.479 that maybe it is appropriate for the government to step 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.959 in and give parents a hand. I guess because the 0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.479 Emily Jackis was her name, the HR consultant that I 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.399 was quoting. She makes the point that, man, these kids 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:21.680 are tech savvy. 0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:22.440 They can get. 0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:25.560 Around all this stuff. So, you know, I don't know, 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:27.720 We're gonna have to wait and see. I just kind 0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.320 of wanted to open the discussion on this. I do 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.680 want to watch closely how it works in Australia because 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.600 I just think something's got to happen because we're losing 0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.000 a generation. Hey, we got to take a break. But 0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:42.199 I do want to tell those people that are on 0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.240 hold and somebody that might want to be a part 0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.800 of the show. I have open lines from ten thirty 0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:52.480 to eleven o'clock, So seven four nine, seven thousand, one, 0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:54.639 eight hundred, the big one are the numbers if you 0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:58.080 want to be a part. Mike Allen, Saturday Midday. But 0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.240 before we go, I want to let you know Jayannis 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:03.600 Heisel up next. I believe she was on the ground 0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:06.680 in Minnesota this week with all that craziness. We'll talk 0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:09.760 to Janis when we get back from the news. Mike Allen, 0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:10.760 Saturday Midday. 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:14.159 It's the season for connecting to our community, our traditions, 0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:14.880 and each other. 0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:17.800 That's why Alta Fiber is here giving you peace of mind. 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:18.960 With internet you can. 0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:24.160 Do news radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday 0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.679 Midday second hour of saying Well, I'll tell you what 0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:36.840 we've got. Increased investigatory action relative the unbelievably massive fraud, 0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:42.960 multi billion dollar fraud many think the Somali situation in Minnesota. Also, 0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:48.240 the Minneapolis City Council and their infinite wisdom acted this 0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:52.560 week to actually strengthen the ordinance to help illegal aliens 0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:56.800 at the expense of regular Americans. Here to talk about 0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.120 that as someone who's reporting on it, she's been on 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:01.600 the ground there, I belie leave this week. Our friend 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:05.000 from the Epoch Times, Janis Heiseel Janis, thanks so much 0:29:05.000 --> 0:29:05.760 for calling in. 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.480 Well, thank you. Yeah, if you can call it the ground, 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.640 it was the snow covered ground. It was pretty dark 0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.600 and snow and cold there. We think we haven't met 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.760 here all Minnesota. Winner is not for. 0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.160 The faint of heart, really, But you're home now. Are 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:21.280 you going back next week? 0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:26.560 Or actually probably not because there are some things I 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.200 can do online, Like there's a medium I'm gonna watch online. 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.960 But I was on the ground talking to people going 0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.560 to the council meeting. You just reference where they ended 0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:40.160 up passing UH a revised version of the ordnance that 0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.720 makes them a quote unquote sanctuary city, which the Trump 0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:47.560 administration has sued Minneapolis as well as the state of 0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:52.520 Minnesota over these sanctuary policies where they're protecting illegal immigrants 0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:58.000 from UH, the enforcement action they're not allowed. It's it's interesting, 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.080 it's like a fine line. They're they're not allowed to 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:04.440 imped the federal agents, but they're not cooperating with them either, 0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.600 So that's that's the fine line there. 0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:11.320 But there's nothing about impeding them or interfering in inter rest. 0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:13.160 They just kind of walk that up to the line. 0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.280 I guess, yeah. 0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.400 They do not they're not allowed because then, you know, 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.680 Pam Bondi has threatened that they would be prosecuted. 0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:23.600 Okay, you know, and I saw too in the research 0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:27.560 they already had a twenty two year old ordinance that 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:33.200 explicitly reflects the city's values, I guess, values of preferring 0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:37.520 illegals over regular Americans. But hey, that's my editorial comment, 0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.800 I suppose. But they've actually had something on the books 0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:42.720 for twenty two years. They must have been one of 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:43.880 the first in the country. 0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:45.520 Yeah. 0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:47.760 Actually, a number of the people who spoke at the 0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:52.640 meeting that I covered on Tuesday use the term a 0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:57.760 progressive beacon to describe the city of Minneapolis. And I 0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:01.040 actually was talking to a number of people who were 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:05.920 not at the meeting, including a senator state senator, and like, 0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:08.720 you know, every single person who spoke at this meeting, 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.760 they were like I think thirty six people spoke at 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.080 this meeting, all of them in favor of beating up 0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:18.360 this ordnance. And I said, just everybody in town supports this. 0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:20.840 Do you know if anybody's against me? Because if they 0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:24.000 are against it, they won't say so publicly. Because there 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.840 is a culture there, according to him, of people who 0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:31.960 express an alternative viewpoint that isn't progressive are going to 0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:35.479 be docks, you know, threatened their family, threatened, their jobs, 0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:38.280 threatened or quote unquote worst as he. 0:31:38.280 --> 0:31:41.280 Says, nice, nice, Well that's typical the left. 0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:44.280 I mean, you know, they know everything, their position is right, 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:46.120 never listen to anybody else. 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:50.520 But it still haunts you off. Though they did. 0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:54.160 They also talk to about the mask issue of because 0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:58.200 I've read something that they thought that wearing masks which 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:02.040 protect the police officer, the ICE our contrary to the 0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:07.520 quote values close quote of the city anything on that 0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.200 janus that you can recall, a. 0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:13.240 Number of people who spoke at the meeting did say 0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:15.200 they they didn't think it was right that the ICE 0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:17.160 ations were allowed to be masked. They said that the 0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:19.920 ICE agents should be arrested by the local police, which 0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:23.080 I think is kind of interesting because the last time 0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:26.680 I checked the US Constitution has a supremacy clause that 0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:31.600 outlines that the federal government outranks the states and or 0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.520 the city. So I thought that was kind of an 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.400 interesting cake, especially because the number of the people who 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:43.040 spoke at the meeting were wearing masks, ostensively COVID masks, 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:48.600 like those health masks. But so they're saying it's o 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:50.800 key for them to wear masks, but they don't think 0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:53.440 that the police should be able to wear masks. So 0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:56.200 that's that's literally the type of thing I was encountering. 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.400 Yeah, and I thought I read somewhere too that there 0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:02.680 were in urging people to where is I wrote it 0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:06.760 down going out in the streets and blowing whistles during 0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:11.040 these ice investigations and stops. Do you recall that being 0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:13.360 a part of this too, Janis? 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:15.560 Oh, yes, One guy said that he doesn't leave his 0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:20.120 home without a whistle. The whistles are supposed to a 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:24.840 I guess annoy the police that the alert other immigrants 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:26.760 that ices in the area stay away. 0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:27.760 Gotcha. 0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:32.000 Yeah, that's really great, you know, really a help to 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.600 law enforcement. I say that tongue in cheek puts them 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:38.680 on a harm's way even more than they already are 0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.040 also you mentioned and you wrote an article about it, 0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:47.920 the increased investigatory action relative to the multi billion dollar 0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:52.720 according to some scam going on there with the Somalian community. 0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:56.960 What's the latest on that, Janus, Well. 0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:01.720 Just yesterday Scott des sent the Treasury Secretary issue the 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:07.160 statement saying that they're about to announce some new regulations 0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:11.160 where the money transfers going from the United States to 0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:15.120 Somalia are going to have additional reporting requirements and that 0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:19.400 the I r S is involved. There are certain businesses, 0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:23.439 money transfer businesses who are going to be alerted that 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:27.600 they are getting un notice that they're under investigation for 0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.560 transfers that may not be on the up and up. 0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:34.400 Now outlined, and it's a little hard to explain verbally, 0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:38.200 there's this money transfer system that is it dates back 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:41.440 in years and years years. It's an informal way. 0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:46.799 To Yeah, what is that, Javis, As best as you 0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:47.480 can tell. 0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:53.040 Us, Well, the way it works is that say that 0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:56.480 I want to send money to another country, I contact 0:34:56.560 --> 0:35:00.800 this intermediary and he has a second intermediary in the 0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:03.279 country where I went to send money. I give the 0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:07.520 money to my guy and then he just contacts the 0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:09.600 other guy and goes, hey, I promise I'll settle up 0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:12.560 with you later if you give will you give money 0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:15.560 to the second person the person that I'm seeking to 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.600 give the money to give the money to a person 0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:19.800 as long as they give a correct password, give them the money, 0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:22.040 and we'll settle up later between the two of us, 0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:26.359 so the money doesn't actually go overseas. The person who 0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:30.400 is in the foreign country provides money to the second 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.719 person recip intended recipient as long as that person has 0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:37.000 a correct password. And apparently this has gone on for years, 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.600 and there are legitimate uses for this. However, it is 0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:43.319 a way to avoid detection. Some people say there have 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:47.920 been enhanced requirements for reporting any kind of money transfer 0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:51.279 businesses ever since the Patriot Act, which was passed right 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.480 after nine to eleven to try to clamp down on 0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:58.839 terrorist networks because of the September eleventh terror attacks. So 0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.360 that's kind of in the nutshell. 0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:04.200 How it works, gotcha. Yeah, I'll tell you what. This 0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:07.000 thing just keeps getting bigger and bigger this week. And 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:08.799 I know we just talked to you last week, but 0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:12.680 are you hearing anything more about the investigation that I 0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:16.080 guess specifically where they're at now. As far as the 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:20.600 dollar amount, I know it was estimated one billion, possibly 0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:24.280 more than that. Because of the whistleblowers, I guess the question, 0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.799 what have you learned new this week that we didn't 0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:27.879 already know last week? 0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:32.879 Well, the whustle blowers actually have estimated that it could 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:34.520 be up to eight billions. 0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:35.320 Wow. 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.800 And the new additional information that I'm working on currently 0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:42.839 is that it's not just Somalians, though though it does 0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.680 seem that there are a high percentage of the cases 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:51.080 are Somalian suspects. However, I found out that guess what, 0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:58.719 the second largest population of Somali's, the second only to Minnesota, 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:00.760 is right here in Ohio. 0:37:01.280 --> 0:37:01.480 Oh. 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:05.520 Really, we have the second highest number of Somalis. And 0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:09.319 there was there is an attorney whistle blower who has 0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:13.120 come forward saying that there is some significant fraud here. 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.719 I haven't had a chance to interview that attorney yet. 0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:18.279 I just found out about this last night, and so 0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:20.279 I'm going to be looking into this. I'm going to 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:23.759 be doing a story that talks about it's not just Minnesota, 0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:27.440 although it does appear to be that Minnesota is leading 0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.799 the way, so to speak. I've been speaking to lawmakers 0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:33.200 in Minnesota. I've talked for four or five. 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:33.560 Of them now. 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:37.120 One of them told me that they're trying to get 0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:39.880 some of the money recovered by like, for example, some 0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.799 of these people bought property in Kenya with these allegedly 0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:47.640 ill gotten games from the welfare fraud and even own 0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.680 a bakery here in Ohio. The taxpayers of Minnesota now 0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:52.680 own a bakery in Ohio as a result of fraud, 0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:55.480 according to this one legislator. So I haven't looked into 0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:58.600 that deeply yet. I literally just found out this information yesterday. 0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:02.480 So I literally have five six different stories I am 0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:05.600 trying to pull together. I mean, I could probably write 0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:09.120 stories for the rest of this year and probably next 0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:12.920 year about all of this, and especially because there are 0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:17.120 other states now involved but that we just haven't heard about, 0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:19.759 like Ohio. I don't know the extent of it here 0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:23.360 in Ohio, but apparently there is some. And given that 0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:25.960 it's the second largest population of Somalies. I mean, I 0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:28.680 have nothing against Themali. They don't know Somali people. In fact, 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:32.280 I talked to a few in uh who actually spoke English. 0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:32.879 It was hard to. 0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:35.399 Find those who did, but they were, you know, they 0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:39.279 were nice to me, they spoke to me. But when 0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:41.160 you come from a country that is viewed as the 0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:45.920 world's second most corrupt, it does kind of affect what 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.880 you think is acceptable. Perhaps, sure that that's the theory 0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:52.560 about what's driving this is they come from a country 0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:56.319 where corruption is kind of an everyday thing and and 0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:58.839 it's a struggle to get by and you do which 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:01.279 can whatever. 0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.560 That might be, I get that, I do. 0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:08.160 If you heard anything more about what Tim Wallas is 0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:11.239 up to. I know he made some statements and it 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.919 looks like people are lining up to run against him 0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:18.399 for governor. There was one Republican and from what I 0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.239 was hearing, it looks like he may have a primary 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:24.400 challenge by a Democrat. What are you hearing if anything 0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:26.600 about that? Janus, I mean, that guy's got to be 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:27.840 on the run somewhere. 0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:32.200 Yes, Well, yesterday he did hold a press conference where 0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:36.360 he revealed that there was going to be like an 0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:42.359 integrity zar, so to speak, who would oversee, you know, 0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.480 fraud investigations and kind of try to come up with 0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:49.040 different ways to prevent fraud. But from what I saw 0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:52.200 a lot of comments online from people saying, you know, 0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:55.439 where were you years ago? When the whistleblowers were trying 0:39:55.480 --> 0:40:00.400 to tell you about this. There was also as attorney 0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:05.040 was quoted, excuse me, it's saying that that the people 0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:11.240 would quote, the highest echelons of state government had turned 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.960 a blind eye to what was going on for years. 0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:17.040 This stuff. This didn't pop up overnight. I did one 0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:21.719 story that indicated that I found concerns about this and 0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:25.719 investigations about some of this dating back like ten years. 0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:29.720 Wow. Yeah, there have been what I think about seventy 0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:34.800 something indicted and either pled guilty or had been found 0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:35.960 guilty by a trial. 0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.440 Is that accurate? Correct? 0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:43.000 And so there's there's just so much going on. It's 0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:44.840 it's really hard to keep up with. There are multiple 0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.800 federal investigations, not just the Treasury and the I r S, 0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:54.279 but also doctor Oz's Medicaid Department for lack of a 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:58.880 better term, and the Small Business Administration is part of 0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:03.280 this as well. And that's so there is it sounds 0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:05.879 like to me a full court press going on from 0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:09.960 the Trump administration and walls. The governor is pushing back 0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.879 against that. He's you know, saying that you know, it's 0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:15.319 because Trump is racist, that Trump is pushing this because 0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:18.960 he's racist and that that was his response yesterday during 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:20.759 his news conference, which lasted for. 0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:21.160 Like an hour. 0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:27.200 Yeah, racism, charges of racism, the last refuge of a scoundrel. 0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:31.080 It figures that he would say something like that, I mean, 0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:34.920 are you hearing anything that potentially he's vulnerable? I mean 0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:37.239 you would think, I guess in any other state he 0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:41.320 would be. But who knows about Minnesota. Are you hearing 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:42.239 anything on that? 0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:48.920 Well, the people who are saying yes are a Republican, right, 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:53.120 so we you know they they have, you know, a 0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:57.040 a biased perspective for sure. However, you know, it does 0:41:57.120 --> 0:42:01.960 seem like that there is this simmering sense of people 0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.960 are not happy, you know that their taxes are going up. Yep, 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:11.400 because it's not just the Somali fraud that's part of that. 0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:13.680 It's that they have a lot of unfunded mandates for 0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:17.839 social programs and they put all these requirements out there, 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:21.320 and then the local governments have to increase property taxes 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:24.760 and other types of taxes for the citizens. For example, 0:42:24.760 --> 0:42:28.359 while I was at the Minneapolis City council meeting, they 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:30.800 came up with some new legislation where if a homeless 0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:34.440 encampment has more than twenty people they will be providing. 0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:40.200 The city will be required to put in Portajohns sanitation stations, 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:44.120 get medical care for people, et cetera, et cetera. And 0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:45.640 where does that money come from? 0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:48.600 Yep, well, I think they think it grows on trees. 0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:51.680 But hey, we're out of time. Janis as always, really 0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.960 appreciates you filling us in, and we're lucky to have you. 0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:56.720 I mean, you're on the ground there. 0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:58.960 And you got the whole thing tied down, so I 0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:00.320 hope we can call on you again. 0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:03.799 Of course, I love talking to the local audiences. This 0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:04.520 is home for me. 0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:06.040 Okay, good, thank you. 0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:10.759 Janis all right, Janis Heisel Epoch Times man, she is 0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:13.759 all over it. I will remind you that she was 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:17.840 singled out by none other than Newt Gingrids praising her 0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:21.480 reporting on this particular story. And I guess it doesn't 0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:23.279 get any better than that. Hey, we got to take 0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:25.560 a break, but we're gonna flip things a little bit 0:43:25.600 --> 0:43:27.960 here when we come back.

No, it's a 0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:46.240 great question. No question about my sister. I had mentioned 0:45:46.239 --> 0:45:46.440 to you. 0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.560 Lives in Sedona, and I've used your service quite a 0:45:49.560 --> 0:45:50.440 bit over the years. 0:45:50.480 --> 0:45:50.839 Thank you. 0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:53.320 I think I'm gonna hit it again this year because 0:45:53.400 --> 0:45:56.160 you know, I mean, her and her husband both from Cincinnati. 0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:58.000 They want some Cincinnati food. 0:45:58.640 --> 0:46:01.399 It's funny people say, you ship Glear's Getta, how much 0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:02.880 do you? How much do you sell? I said, We're 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.920 going to have close to fifteen thousand one pound rolls 0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:08.200 of Getta going out just in December. 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:11.560 It's a lot. You had mentioned that people better act quickly. 0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:15.000 Is that I mean, is this something that if you're 0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:17.920 like me, you can do the day before Christmas a 0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:20.600 couple of days before, or is it a deal where 0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:21.680 you better get it in now? 0:46:21.840 --> 0:46:22.239 You better. 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:25.000 We like to have it in the queue for now 0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:27.200 to plant it out. But the last day that we 0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:30.920 will ship will be December twenty third, for the twenty fourth, 0:46:30.960 --> 0:46:34.040 but you're at the mercy of FedEx making sure they 0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.440 get it there, and I'd hate for a Christmas present 0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:40.239 not to arrive on time. So we were telling everybody 0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:43.040 we want to make the December twenty second, or really 0:46:43.080 --> 0:46:44.960 our last push that's on a Monday. 0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:47.520 That gives people plenty of time we've we've got a 0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:48.839 week and a half. We're good. 0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:51.920 I wanted to ask you, what would you say is 0:46:51.960 --> 0:46:55.799 your most popular item that people want? And I know 0:46:55.880 --> 0:46:58.719 you have different combinations and things, but you can also 0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:02.759 kind of do it uh on a basis where you 0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:05.920 just pick it out yourself. But what do besides Montgomery 0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:08.479 and ribs? Of course, what do people really want? 0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:10.680 I will tell you the number one, of course, is 0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:13.720 will be our the Montgomery and Ribs combined with Greaters 0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:16.040 ice cream. You'll get four slabs of ribs and two 0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:18.680 pints of Greaters ice cream. And then people will add 0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:20.880 our baked beans to it, our mac and cheese to it. 0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:24.560 Then they'll start adding Skyline chili. We've got canned, We've 0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:27.080 got the frozen, We've got the new Chicken chili. Then 0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:30.080 you've got on the other side, people love Lo Rosa's pizzas. 0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:34.360 They love they love that it is too, so you 0:47:34.800 --> 0:47:38.560 can start picking and choosing and matching up what you 0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:41.239 know what makes your family happy. So that's those are 0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:43.560 our number one sellers. And then then you've got the 0:47:43.560 --> 0:47:46.560 people on the dessert side. They love schnecking. Remember the 0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:47.279 old Virginia bake. 0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:50.520 I heard you talking about that. So I've never had it, 0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:51.400 but I've heard about it. 0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:55.040 People used to line up at the Virginia Bake in 0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:58.960 Clifton and they would line up well. When they decided 0:47:58.960 --> 0:48:02.000 to stop doing business, the Buskin family, Dan and Brian 0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:05.360 Buskin talked to the owner. They got the recipe and 0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:09.200 they're making the original Virginia Bakery schneck and we'll send 0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:12.799 out a couple thousand schneckins this month. People load up 0:48:12.800 --> 0:48:14.640 their freezer and they keep them. They keep them for 0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:17.560 a couple of months. They're they're fabulous. I can't believe 0:48:17.560 --> 0:48:19.920 I haven't had that yet. I'm gonna have to give it. 0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:22.439 It's decadent. We have another little company we're helping out 0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:26.160 called the North College Hill Cakery. It's a mother and 0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:28.759 a daughter. They've got the most wonderful they call them. 0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:33.360 Ooey gooey buttercakes you can't go wrong. And Bonbindery Opera 0:48:33.360 --> 0:48:36.360 cream cakes. Of course we have them. We've got the cervads, 0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:40.680 carrot cake, and apple pies and cherry pies and pumpkin pies. 0:48:40.760 --> 0:48:45.000 So got everything. You got it covered. You mentioned Skyline chili, 0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:45.920 the chicken chili. 0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:49.960 I've not had that yet, have you I have, and 0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:52.160 I will tell you they did a really really great 0:48:52.239 --> 0:48:54.880 job of matching the flavor profile. It does taste a 0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:57.839 little different, it's chicken versus beef. But they really did 0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:00.360 a great job. They spend a lot of time effort 0:49:00.440 --> 0:49:01.560 to make sure they got it right. 0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:02.480 It is great. 0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:05.359 I gotta try it. But you know how people are, 0:49:05.800 --> 0:49:07.759 I know they want to stay with the original. 0:49:08.120 --> 0:49:09.480 I wonder what the thought was. 0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:12.759 I'm sure obviously there's a demander they wouldn't have done it, 0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:15.719 but I don't know. Maybe chickens are supposed to be 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:16.600 a little more healthy. 0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:18.920 Well, I think it's the higher protein level and I've 0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:21.200 seen people are looking for that, and it's a little 0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:24.560 bit different, just slightly different flavor profile. But it's still great. 0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:27.440 I had about two weeks ago. It was terrific. 0:49:27.600 --> 0:49:27.839 Ah. 0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:30.560 Great, Well, I have to try that too. What else 0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:32.480 do you want to tell everybody about it? How can 0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.839 they take advantage of this website? How they would get 0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:40.920 in touch with not you personally, but just just go 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:44.160 to Sincyfavorites dot com. Okay, and that's the easiest way 0:49:44.200 --> 0:49:46.799 to do it. Just go online. You can place a 0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:47.520 corporate order. 0:49:47.520 --> 0:49:49.760 We've got a special corporate tab where you can download 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:52.560 from an Excel file or right from your context, goes 0:49:52.640 --> 0:49:56.320 right into our database, into our system. It's very, very 0:49:56.440 --> 0:49:59.799 very seamless real. It really is terrific. It's so some 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:02.239 We have a good friend Willie talks about him all 0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:04.759 the time, Wayne Carucci. And if Wayne Cruse he can 0:50:04.760 --> 0:50:07.280 figure out how to make an order, anybody can figure 0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:08.360 out how to make it. 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:10.920 He hasn't met me yet. I'll tell you what. It's easy. 0:50:11.080 --> 0:50:11.800 I struggle. 0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:14.359 So if I go home this afternoon, which I very 0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:17.239 well may do, and bang out an order for my 0:50:17.400 --> 0:50:21.279 sister in Sedona, uh, she will get it. 0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:24.360 By Chris, there's no doubt he'll probably.

We'll pack it up on Wednesday and 0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:35.680 it'll be there Thursday. 0:50:35.880 --> 0:50:36.560 Sounds good. 0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:39.719 Anything else you want to say, no, no, just we're 0:50:39.719 --> 0:50:42.399 blessed to be in a great city of Cincinnati, where 0:50:42.400 --> 0:50:47.680 we've got wonderful, wonderful homemade products absolutely and people that 0:50:47.840 --> 0:50:50.160 move out of town want them and you're there. 0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:53.640 You're there to give them that service.

I 0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:34.200 had Evan on at ten thirty. Well, I'll tell you 0:51:34.239 --> 0:51:37.600 what after listening to him and since he favorites, I'm hungry, 0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:40.360 you know.

And 0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:51.160 you know what, Cincinnati people, when they move away, they 0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:52.640 still want Cincinnati food. 0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:54.080 Great gift. 0:51:54.760 --> 0:51:57.880 I think you ought to check it out anyway, As promised, 0:51:57.960 --> 0:51:59.319 I'm going back to the phones here. 0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:01.360 Thank everybody for hanging on too. 0:52:01.719 --> 0:52:05.880 Again, we do have open lines from eleven o'clock to 0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:08.919 eleven thirty.

I'm about three fourths of the way 0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:16.120 through it. It's really good. We'll talk to Peter at 0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:19.919 eleven thirty. Hey, let's talk to Louise in Marie Mont. 0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:21.240 She's been hanging on forever. 0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:22.000 Hey, thank you. 0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:22.439 I'm Mike. 0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:24.799 Hi, Louise. Thanks for having me Mike. 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:29.279 That's a hard act to follow after that food for 0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:31.879 you guys. Way, I want to switch geared to Mike 0:52:32.040 --> 0:52:37.280 and address this unfortunate incident with this coach of the 0:52:37.320 --> 0:52:38.400 Michigan team. 0:52:38.600 --> 0:52:38.799 Yeah. 0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:41.000 I want to start out by saying I am certainly 0:52:41.040 --> 0:52:45.360 non attorney, but the company for which I work for 0:52:46.120 --> 0:52:50.840 close to four decades provided me so much sexual harassment training. 0:52:50.960 --> 0:52:53.560 I feel it like I have a PhD in this tackey. 0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:55.799 So that's what I want to address. And if we 0:52:55.840 --> 0:53:01.000 look back, this whole sexual harassment started with Clarence Thomas 0:53:01.040 --> 0:53:05.759 and Anita Hill. Remember that that's when it started. That's 0:53:05.760 --> 0:53:08.919 when they started training us every year. The attorneys came 0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:11.799 from out of town. This that and the other, and 0:53:11.840 --> 0:53:15.000 then we get to proceed up to the Bill Clinton 0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:18.480 Monica Lewinsky. Well, all of a sudden, that didn't you know, 0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.359 sexual harassment never came up. And as you know as 0:53:21.400 --> 0:53:26.320 an attorney, Mike, sexual harassment is whenever it's a superior 0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:32.320 subordinate relationship. There's no distinction. Once that situation is there, 0:53:32.760 --> 0:53:35.920 it's considered harassment. Now, I have a great deal of 0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.359 pity for this coach and his family, and I've been 0:53:38.400 --> 0:53:41.560 really troubled by this and praying for this family that 0:53:42.000 --> 0:53:44.680 he could get this family back intact. I mean, his 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:48.200 life has turned upside down. But let's look at the 0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:51.480 female in this situation, which they're now calling a victim. 0:53:51.680 --> 0:53:54.640 Yeah, you know what, I don't know any of the facts. 0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:56.719 So if you could enlighten us on that. 0:53:57.200 --> 0:54:00.720 Okay, Well, it's a coach of the mission, she can team, 0:54:01.440 --> 0:54:05.200 very well respected coach and found out that there was 0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:10.080 a two year relationship with one of his subordinates. Now, 0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:15.160 this woman her salary increased between twenty and thirty thousand 0:54:15.280 --> 0:54:19.799 dollars since she began this affair. Now, being in the workplace, Mike, 0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:24.680 we all know these situations are toxic, they're unfair, they 0:54:24.719 --> 0:54:29.880 make everyone else suffer as this woman progresses up in 0:54:29.960 --> 0:54:32.839 the organization, makes more money than them. It's just a 0:54:32.880 --> 0:54:38.560 toxic situation. And I don't know. I just feel that 0:54:38.640 --> 0:54:40.960 the world has to be aware of these types of 0:54:41.000 --> 0:54:45.760 things and stop acting like the female is the victim. 0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:50.520 Don't forget this coach went to her house and threatened 0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:52.719 that he was going to take his life. Well, the 0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:55.680 first call she made was not to the nine to 0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:58.640 one one to try to save the man. Her first 0:54:58.680 --> 0:55:02.840 call is to her to her attorney. If the school 0:55:02.920 --> 0:55:05.840 is probabis. I can tell you, Mike, from my experience, 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:11.319 the organizations never released the female in this situation. They 0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:14.400 then treat this keep that female there, treat her like 0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:18.759 a China doll. Everyone else in the organization suffers, and 0:55:19.000 --> 0:55:21.799 you know isn't treated the same way this person is. 0:55:21.920 --> 0:55:24.759 This is a really bad situation. So I think you 0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:27.440 need to study up. I thought, yeah, it was pretty recent. 0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:29.760 It just happened with the past couple of days. 0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:32.840 Yeah yeah, and there was some uh, some undercurrent of 0:55:32.920 --> 0:55:33.840 something gonna happen. 0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:34.800 It did happen. 0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:36.960 I am gonna bone up on it, Luise, but I 0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:39.200 really appreciate you bringing us up to date. 0:55:39.920 --> 0:55:42.759 Right, Okay, Mike, have a good Christmas. If I don't 0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:43.680 get to call in. 0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:47.799 Before that, you too, please try to call though. I 0:55:47.880 --> 0:55:50.279 love her, She's a great caller. Yeah, you know, I 0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:55.000 don't know the facts of that situation. Again, I'm not 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:59.920 without sympathy for the coach. Uh. I had thought, just 0:56:00.120 --> 0:56:03.560 listening to it that perhaps it was a situation where 0:56:03.560 --> 0:56:06.520 maybe she was a minor or an intern or something. 0:56:06.600 --> 0:56:08.680 But we'll have to see what comes out. 0:56:08.800 --> 0:56:13.320 You know, a college, especially like Michigan, they're not gonna 0:56:13.360 --> 0:56:15.759 want to, you know, put up with something like that, 0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:18.240 so they'll pull the trigger, I suppose, and they did 0:56:18.800 --> 0:56:23.200 pretty early on him. But I have sympathy for everyone 0:56:23.440 --> 0:56:26.439 involved in that situation. Hey, we can get a quick 0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:30.799 one here. How's about r J? Hey, RJ? You got 0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:31.640 two minutes, buddy? 0:56:31.640 --> 0:56:34.640 How you doing good? Are you good? 0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:38.640 Call? Call you about the Abrego Garcia case. I think 0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:41.000 you've heard all that. Yes, he was released from the 0:56:41.160 --> 0:56:45.240 tension I saw, and the media seems to be treating 0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:47.120 him like he's a free to hostage. 0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:47.880 Oh of course. 0:56:48.520 --> 0:56:52.719 Interesting. Uh, And I'm just wondering what's the status of 0:56:52.800 --> 0:56:55.120 his of his situation, because I thought he was in 0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:56.040 the process. 0:56:55.680 --> 0:56:57.680 Of being prosecuted. 0:56:58.120 --> 0:57:01.719 By uh, you know, the federal of the Feds. And 0:57:02.320 --> 0:57:05.439 I just wonder that's still on, isn't it. I mean, 0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:10.920 he's he's freed temporarily, he's still uh the you know, 0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:14.279 he's still possibly going to get you know, tried and 0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:17.120 for this, for this smuggling issue. 0:57:17.360 --> 0:57:19.040 Yeah. And that's my understanding too. 0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:24.320 I just I heard it break yesterday, obviously remembered the name. Uh. 0:57:25.400 --> 0:57:29.080 But the prosecution is not going to go away. I 0:57:29.080 --> 0:57:32.280 guess he might who knows what he'll do, but that 0:57:32.400 --> 0:57:35.440 prosecution is not going to go away at least. I 0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:38.600 think it would be highly unlikely that the US attorney 0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:39.440 would dismiss it. 0:57:40.520 --> 0:57:43.400 I think, I think what happens in these cases is 0:57:44.040 --> 0:57:47.080 it is the hope is that it takes a long 0:57:47.160 --> 0:57:51.280 time for him to get to to trial, right, and 0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:54.080 the case and a new you know, maybe a new 0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:58.160 administration comes into comes into office after the president is 0:57:59.000 --> 0:58:01.480 is the longer there isn't it? And and and the 0:58:01.760 --> 0:58:05.560 uh maybe the Democrats win. I hope that doesn't happen. 0:58:05.680 --> 0:58:08.800 Please decide to drop the case. Yep. 0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:10.320 I think that's the hope. 0:58:10.640 --> 0:58:13.880 It's I don't think it could be you know what, 0:58:14.000 --> 0:58:19.040 there are too many uh, grants of pardons clemency on 0:58:19.120 --> 0:58:21.640 both sides of the isle, I think, And you're right, 0:58:21.680 --> 0:58:24.760 a different administration would probably see it differently, but we're 0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:26.600 just gonna have to wait and see. Uh. 0:58:26.720 --> 0:58:29.880 But that's that's the case of all these and all 0:58:29.920 --> 0:58:33.840 these all these situations really right, And that's my concern. 0:58:33.920 --> 0:58:36.600 Is a waste the time it takes is something they 0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:41.880 rely on, I get it to avoid uh, you know, 0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:44.440 having to take responsibility for these situations. 0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:46.800 I get it. Hey, unfortunate around of time, r J. 0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:50.400 But thanks, thanks for the call, Thanks for the subject too. Yeah, 0:58:50.400 --> 0:58:52.080 I'm gonna have to bone up on that and see 0:58:52.080 --> 0:58:53.560 what the deal is. Hey, we got to take a 0:58:53.560 --> 0:58:54.560 break for the news button. 0:58:54.600 --> 0:58:57.960 We get back. I'm going right back to the calls. 0:58:58.280 --> 0:59:02.520 Mike Allen, seven hundred wl News Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:59:02.680 --> 0:59:07.680 Mike Gallon Saturday Midday closing moments of saying, well, I'll 0:59:07.680 --> 0:59:12.360 tell you what. Cincinnati's favorite author one Peter Bronson. He's 0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:15.520 out with a new book just in time for Christmas. 0:59:16.040 --> 0:59:21.280 His new book is entitled Magical Mystery Tour, Murder, Mystery 0:59:21.400 --> 0:59:25.240 and Buried History. It's a collection of five short stories. 0:59:25.600 --> 0:59:27.960 And also there's a section in back I think about 0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:33.440 ten different historical places that Peter has found out about 0:59:33.520 --> 0:59:36.560 that would be good places to visit. I'm definitely going 0:59:36.640 --> 0:59:39.400 to take him up on it. Peter, thanks for coming. 0:59:39.080 --> 0:59:41.200 In my pleasure. Mike always good to be with you 0:59:41.360 --> 0:59:44.240 appreciate it. Hey, just kind of give us an I 0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:47.600 outlined it a little bit. But is what the book's about? Okay, 0:59:47.640 --> 0:59:51.160 well this time. In my previous books, I've done longer 0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:54.520 form stories about the Cincinnati during the Civil War, or 0:59:54.520 --> 0:59:58.320 the mob in northern Kentucky, or the first settlers in Cincinnati. 0:59:58.480 --> 1:00:00.800 But you know what my favorite Peter Ronson book is 1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:04.360 I think probably behind the lines the three Yeah I'm 1:00:04.680 --> 1:00:08.000 one riots. I shouldn't get going on it. But is 1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:10.320 it still for sale? Oh? It is, Yes, you can 1:00:10.320 --> 1:00:11.440 get that on my website. 1:00:11.520 --> 1:00:17.000 The only, the only, fair and accurate account of those riots. 1:00:17.080 --> 1:00:18.080 And it's aftermath. 1:00:18.160 --> 1:00:19.960 Oh, thank you so much, you know, and it's it's 1:00:20.000 --> 1:00:23.400 timely now with the city of Cincinnati paying people. 1:00:23.120 --> 1:00:28.440 To riot, yeah, to the tune of about eight million bucks. Unbelievable, 1:00:29.840 --> 1:00:32.160 only in the city of Cincinnati, only Cincinnati. 1:00:32.240 --> 1:00:34.800 But anyway, back to the book, so this one, I'm 1:00:34.840 --> 1:00:38.560 doing a different approach. I'm doing five short stories. They're 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:41.200 all in the same kind of wheelhouse that I like, 1:00:41.520 --> 1:00:48.880 which is very local Cincinnati, southern Southwest Ohio, stories about 1:00:48.880 --> 1:00:51.000 our history. Things that that kind of are in the 1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:53.120 category of when you read that, you go, who knew? 1:00:53.640 --> 1:00:56.920 I know, who knew? I know that we had a 1:00:56.960 --> 1:01:00.440 grave robbery in eighteen seventy eight when the son of 1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:03.440 a president was taken from his grave, you know, night 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:04.360 he was buried. 1:01:04.680 --> 1:01:07.960 I like local history, try to keep up on I 1:01:08.000 --> 1:01:10.640 had no idea. I mean that great. Can you kind of. 1:01:10.640 --> 1:01:14.040 Give the listeners just that story in particular, just a 1:01:14.080 --> 1:01:15.480 little bit about what it's about. 1:01:15.640 --> 1:01:15.920 Okay. 1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:19.320 So William Henry Harrison, our ninth president, had a son, 1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:23.520 John Scott Harrison, who was unique in American history because 1:01:23.520 --> 1:01:25.480 not only was he the son of a president, he 1:01:25.520 --> 1:01:28.560 was the father of a president, Benjamin Harrison. 1:01:28.120 --> 1:01:29.200 And he was a congressman. 1:01:29.400 --> 1:01:33.080 Yes, yeah, yeah, So John Scott Harrison in his older years, 1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:37.720 he was very respected, beloved. Grandfatherly died suddenly in his sleep. 1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:41.000 The family goes to Congress Green Cemetery, which, by the way, 1:01:41.040 --> 1:01:44.200 is right across the road from the William Henry Harrison Monument. 1:01:44.920 --> 1:01:48.120 And it's one of those places on my history tours 1:01:48.200 --> 1:01:51.160 that's all that that it's a great place. It's just 1:01:51.240 --> 1:01:54.880 really John Cleve Simms of the Sims Purchase is also 1:01:54.960 --> 1:01:58.560 buried there. Okay, so back to the story, John Scott 1:01:58.600 --> 1:02:03.560 Harrison is buried, His family mourns him, does a service 1:02:03.600 --> 1:02:05.800 by the grave side, and the next day they come 1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:09.919 back very next day for another funeral of another young 1:02:09.960 --> 1:02:11.760 man that they knew that was close to their family, 1:02:11.840 --> 1:02:14.400 and they look at their father's grave and it's been opened, 1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:18.760 it's been torn apart, and the body is gone. How 1:02:18.840 --> 1:02:21.840 outrageous would that be? Absolutely? I mean, here is a 1:02:21.920 --> 1:02:24.920 son of a president. But in those days it was 1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:28.440 not uncommon for these guys. They were called body snatchers. 1:02:28.480 --> 1:02:30.880 They were called grave robbers, one of my favorite terms. 1:02:30.920 --> 1:02:35.920 They called them resurrection men. And they would come and 1:02:36.000 --> 1:02:39.680 steal a body and they would strip the clothes and 1:02:39.760 --> 1:02:42.240 jewelry off and take away the gold, teeth, whatever they 1:02:42.280 --> 1:02:46.280 could harvest from his body and sell the clothes. So 1:02:46.800 --> 1:02:50.440 if you're looking for a bargain, beware of bargain. Hopefully 1:02:50.520 --> 1:02:53.120 they wash them. Well, I don't think so. Yeah, I 1:02:53.200 --> 1:02:54.400 think they probably reaped. 1:02:54.560 --> 1:02:56.800 But these people that are stealing the bodies, correct me 1:02:56.840 --> 1:03:01.560 if I'm wrong. They were students the predecessor, I guess 1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:03.880 of you see medical school. 1:03:04.360 --> 1:03:06.280 Yes, well, so these guys were. 1:03:06.280 --> 1:03:08.920 It was a regular profession to be a grave robber 1:03:09.400 --> 1:03:12.880 and their main client, of their only client in most cases, 1:03:13.000 --> 1:03:16.960 was the Ohio Medical College. But the ring that was 1:03:17.000 --> 1:03:20.080 stealing bodies in Cincinnati had such a reach. They were 1:03:20.280 --> 1:03:25.440 stealing bodies all over central Ohio and servicing Columbus Cleveland 1:03:25.480 --> 1:03:28.080 all the way to ann Arbor, and that's where they 1:03:28.080 --> 1:03:30.360 found one of the bodies that was taken from Congress 1:03:30.360 --> 1:03:32.160 Green Cemetery in ann Arbor. 1:03:32.400 --> 1:03:33.680 I mean, it was unbelievable. 1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:36.840 And these guys would sell these bodies to the medical 1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:40.320 students because in those days, nobody donated their body to science, 1:03:40.800 --> 1:03:47.200 so they needed fresh corpses to practice on. Practicing on 1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:49.840 people that were under anesthesia was frowned. 1:03:49.600 --> 1:03:53.920 Upon, but they did it nonetheless. 1:03:54.000 --> 1:03:57.000 I mean there were just the ethics and the morals 1:03:57.000 --> 1:03:59.240 of the medical profession in those days is appalling. 1:03:59.440 --> 1:04:02.320 Yeah, I had no idea. I had no idea that 1:04:02.360 --> 1:04:03.800 it was going on locally here. 1:04:04.040 --> 1:04:07.360 Yes, yes, tell us, I know how but tell the 1:04:07.400 --> 1:04:08.720 listeners how that ended up. 1:04:09.040 --> 1:04:14.640 Well, John Scott, Harrison's son took on the responsibility of 1:04:14.640 --> 1:04:18.440 finding the body snatchers who took his father. He hired 1:04:18.480 --> 1:04:22.040 the Pinkertons from Chicago to come assist and detectives from 1:04:22.040 --> 1:04:26.000 Cincinnati police, and they found a report that was in 1:04:26.120 --> 1:04:29.520 the Inquirer, one of those little gospy items, that said 1:04:29.520 --> 1:04:34.240 that a strange, long sheet wrapped body shaped object was 1:04:34.320 --> 1:04:37.040 unloaded in front of the Medical College in the wee 1:04:37.080 --> 1:04:39.280 hours of the morning. And so they went to the 1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:41.840 Medical College. They searched all of the floors. When they 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:45.400 got to the top floor, they find a pit that 1:04:45.600 --> 1:04:47.440 is a shaft that goes all the way down to 1:04:47.480 --> 1:04:50.560 the first floor, five floors, and there's a rope in 1:04:50.600 --> 1:04:53.560 a winch. Yes, yeah, And they start turning the winch. 1:04:54.120 --> 1:04:57.520 It up comes the son of the president. He is 1:04:57.640 --> 1:05:02.160 completely stripped of his clothing. He's been cut open so 1:05:02.200 --> 1:05:06.600 that the body could drain. It just horrified. Yeah, And 1:05:06.760 --> 1:05:09.320 at first they didn't know if this body was their father. 1:05:09.560 --> 1:05:12.560 And then they took it off the rope and laid 1:05:12.560 --> 1:05:14.400 it down and the son. 1:05:14.400 --> 1:05:15.240 Just lost it. 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:18.800 There's his father, yep, And he was about to be 1:05:18.920 --> 1:05:21.160 dissected and yeah, cut into parts. 1:05:22.040 --> 1:05:25.480 They would. It's just a horrifying nobody. 1:05:26.400 --> 1:05:28.480 And like I said, I follow a local history to 1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:30.760 the extent I can't. I don't think anybody knew about 1:05:30.800 --> 1:05:33.919 that at all, you know, until you've started to write 1:05:33.920 --> 1:05:37.680 about it. Also, probably my favorite and there the Black 1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:40.200 Widow serial killer. Yeah. 1:05:40.240 --> 1:05:43.600 I actually recognized some names in there. Oh did you good? Yeah? 1:05:43.640 --> 1:05:44.920 One of them Walter Hart. 1:05:45.000 --> 1:05:47.960 Oh yeah, Walter famous case Harness detective. 1:05:48.040 --> 1:05:51.640 Heart Pharmacy is and has been forever at the corner 1:05:51.720 --> 1:05:55.640 of Glen Way and Cleeswarsaw, that right, independent Pharmacy. I'n't 1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:57.840 been in there in years, but when I did go 1:05:57.960 --> 1:06:02.360 in there, they had a bust of Walter Hart. I 1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:06.120 don't know what his obviously the Heart family, but exactly 1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:09.360 what the relationship was. And then when I was in 1:06:09.400 --> 1:06:11.800 the police academy, they told us about he was killed 1:06:11.840 --> 1:06:12.600 in the line of dude. 1:06:12.720 --> 1:06:16.040 Yes, what a sad story. I know he was. He 1:06:16.080 --> 1:06:20.280 had been working with Detective Tom Ferrager. He must have 1:06:20.360 --> 1:06:20.800 been something. 1:06:20.880 --> 1:06:24.240 Oh he still holds the record for the most cases 1:06:24.560 --> 1:06:29.160 cleared and solved murder cases. And those two probably saw 1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:33.080 stuff that we just would never want to see and 1:06:33.120 --> 1:06:36.720 would never recover from. Heart finally had enough and took 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:40.120 a desk job, and unfortunately he stopped at a bar 1:06:40.240 --> 1:06:43.560 on his way home from work one night after he'd 1:06:43.600 --> 1:06:45.600 taken this desk job to get out of the line 1:06:45.600 --> 1:06:48.800 of this this holorifying stuff, and arm robbers came in 1:06:49.200 --> 1:06:53.400 and herded all the clients, the customers into a restroom. Well, 1:06:53.760 --> 1:06:58.080 Heart was carrying a weapon concealed and he came out 1:06:58.080 --> 1:07:00.400 of the restroom and started shooting, and that's how they 1:07:00.440 --> 1:07:03.960 killed him. Yeah, I mean that what a crazy courageous 1:07:04.000 --> 1:07:06.440 thing to do, you know, as a cop, I know. 1:07:07.240 --> 1:07:10.560 But but there's a little West Side connection there. Yeah. 1:07:10.720 --> 1:07:15.320 Also out called Dudley Alcohol. Yes, that's a name that 1:07:15.960 --> 1:07:19.800 is pretty prominent in Cincinnati judicial circles. And of course 1:07:19.800 --> 1:07:22.520 he was the prosecutor and he was a judge. Yes, 1:07:23.320 --> 1:07:27.920 Pete out Cault was a long time magistrate here. And 1:07:28.520 --> 1:07:31.360 the reason I mentioned it is out in Sharonville on 1:07:31.440 --> 1:07:34.960 Mostella Road is the Reserve Center. Oh yeah, yeah, I 1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:37.960 was in the National Guard, right, that's well in Army 1:07:38.000 --> 1:07:42.160 two Army was in the one thirty fifth jag Detach 1:07:42.320 --> 1:07:44.400 named after out call yep and they got. 1:07:44.280 --> 1:07:46.000 A big plaque to him and everything. So that was 1:07:46.080 --> 1:07:46.920 kind of cool to do well. 1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:48.720 And you know, that was one of those little things 1:07:48.760 --> 1:07:51.840 that is so fun about researching history. Because I was 1:07:52.120 --> 1:07:54.800 doing this thing about the serial killer and big Tom 1:07:54.800 --> 1:07:58.600 Feriger and I look in and I'm thinking that prosecutor, 1:07:58.680 --> 1:08:00.760 let's take a look at him. So I started digging 1:08:00.800 --> 1:08:03.000 into and I find out this guy Dudley Outcault. 1:08:03.560 --> 1:08:04.120 He was. 1:08:04.520 --> 1:08:07.920 He flew in World War One with Eddie Rickenbacker's hat 1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:11.560 and the ring squadron, which had the most celebrated aces 1:08:11.600 --> 1:08:14.520 in the entire war. He came home, he served in 1:08:14.600 --> 1:08:17.880 Rickenbacker's pit crew at the Indy five hundred and even 1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:19.400 drove some laps at the end. 1:08:19.600 --> 1:08:22.560 This is our county prosecutor. Unbelievable. 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.800 And he was such a cool guy. 1:08:25.840 --> 1:08:26.439 And how he. 1:08:26.400 --> 1:08:29.320 Died, Oh, and how he died so sad. He was 1:08:29.360 --> 1:08:32.160 a great pilot. He went back in World War Two 1:08:32.800 --> 1:08:35.920 enlisted again. He had to overcome a health problem. In 1:08:35.960 --> 1:08:38.439 the day that he was cleared healthwise, he signed up 1:08:38.479 --> 1:08:42.080 to become part of the Army Air Corps and he 1:08:42.240 --> 1:08:45.880 was ferrying B twenty four I think, and he was 1:08:45.960 --> 1:08:48.479 right near Washington, d C. Almost to the airport when 1:08:48.479 --> 1:08:51.880 the whole thing exploded and he was never found. He 1:08:52.120 --> 1:08:53.320 just was vaporized. 1:08:53.760 --> 1:08:56.960 And they don't explain that in the thing that I 1:08:56.960 --> 1:08:59.479 haven't been at the reserve center in years. They didn't 1:08:59.479 --> 1:09:03.680 explain how he passed away. I told Peter alcohol and 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:07.400 I maybe he's a grandson, great grant. He's retired now 1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:11.080 and he kind of the family knew about it. I 1:09:11.560 --> 1:09:14.080 knew about the plaque and everything like that. But it's 1:09:14.120 --> 1:09:17.519 just kind of fun when you're reading something like your 1:09:17.680 --> 1:09:21.000 history books and you see something that, hey, I. 1:09:20.960 --> 1:09:23.479 Know where that is. Yeah, yeah, but can. 1:09:23.360 --> 1:09:25.639 We I'm gonna make sure I give you enough time, dude, 1:09:26.439 --> 1:09:29.000 say where we can get your book? Wanted to ask 1:09:29.080 --> 1:09:33.320 you if you could finish the story about ms Hahn and. 1:09:33.280 --> 1:09:35.160 What oh that was interesting. 1:09:35.240 --> 1:09:38.280 So she was the first serial killer, although they didn't 1:09:38.280 --> 1:09:41.920 call them serial killers back then, just a sensational murder 1:09:42.000 --> 1:09:45.240 in the late thirties, yes, thirty eight, thirty seven, thirty eight. 1:09:45.360 --> 1:09:45.880 She was. 1:09:46.560 --> 1:09:52.559 She probably killed more than fourteen sixteen people. And so 1:09:52.800 --> 1:09:58.240 she would cozy up to these elderly, lonely German immigrants 1:09:58.840 --> 1:10:03.120 men almost exclusively, and pretty soon they tell their friends 1:10:03.160 --> 1:10:05.040 they had a new girlfriend and they were so excited 1:10:05.080 --> 1:10:07.680 they turned over their house and their savings and the 1:10:07.720 --> 1:10:09.640 next thing you know, she comes over and cooks for them, 1:10:09.680 --> 1:10:12.160 and what do you know, they died. Well, it might 1:10:12.200 --> 1:10:14.920 have been the arsenic that she put in exactly, she 1:10:15.080 --> 1:10:19.040 was poisoning. And that's a horrible, horrible death. It's just wow. 1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:22.920 I couldn't believe it. And so she was finally caught 1:10:23.360 --> 1:10:26.280 and it was done with probably one of the very 1:10:26.320 --> 1:10:31.519 first cases of forensic medical science. And the Cincinnati Police 1:10:31.800 --> 1:10:33.760 had one of the first in the country, that's right, 1:10:33.880 --> 1:10:37.960 collaborations with the UC Medical School and their Department of Forensics, 1:10:38.200 --> 1:10:40.840 and they teamed up to solve this case. And it's 1:10:40.880 --> 1:10:45.200 really stunning how it's like CSI. Way before CSI yep, 1:10:45.280 --> 1:10:46.400 nineteen thirty eight. 1:10:46.600 --> 1:10:49.160 There were four I think victims that were tried in 1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:53.719 Amum County and he was she was convicted of all. 1:10:53.720 --> 1:10:56.559 Of them, I believe, uh huh. And she died in 1:10:56.600 --> 1:10:57.800 the electric chair. She did. 1:10:57.880 --> 1:11:00.840 She was the first woman to be put to death 1:11:00.880 --> 1:11:02.160 in the electric chair in a while. 1:11:03.360 --> 1:11:06.559 And just it's a fascinating story. It is just the 1:11:06.880 --> 1:11:09.160 I don't know looking for the right word here, that 1:11:09.920 --> 1:11:15.200 the lack of empathy, her heartless victims. 1:11:15.320 --> 1:11:17.400 Yeah, because you're right. They were all old men. 1:11:17.360 --> 1:11:21.920 All lonely, sad old men who missed Germany. And one 1:11:21.960 --> 1:11:23.720 of her tricks was to come and knock on their 1:11:23.720 --> 1:11:26.400 door and say she was a long lost niece, right, 1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:29.439 who had discovered they had some kind of inheritance coming 1:11:29.479 --> 1:11:31.760 from the family in Germany, and she was here to 1:11:31.800 --> 1:11:32.599 help them get it. 1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:35.960 And so she Oh, she was just what a piece 1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:36.320 of work. 1:11:36.360 --> 1:11:39.360 I know, Wow, your favorite story out of all of them, 1:11:39.360 --> 1:11:40.360 if you cared. 1:11:40.080 --> 1:11:41.760 To weigh in on that, you know, I kind of 1:11:41.800 --> 1:11:45.160 really liked doing westerns. Yeah, I always loved westerns, and 1:11:45.200 --> 1:11:47.479 I really liked the story of James W. 1:11:47.680 --> 1:11:50.800 Denver, a Civil War general named after it. 1:11:50.920 --> 1:11:53.519 The city of Denver, Colorado, is named after a man 1:11:53.560 --> 1:11:56.679 from our own community who grew up in Wilmington, Ohio, 1:11:56.680 --> 1:11:59.320 who knew and he led a wagon train on the 1:11:59.360 --> 1:12:03.000 Oregon Trail, which would be incredibly courageous in those days, 1:12:03.439 --> 1:12:04.840 and he went out for the gold Rush. 1:12:04.880 --> 1:12:05.880 He fought a duel. 1:12:06.600 --> 1:12:09.000 In this duel, he killed a newspaper editor that come 1:12:09.240 --> 1:12:10.240 a little close to home. 1:12:10.720 --> 1:12:13.679 Yeah, I know, but this editor, this. 1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:17.679 Editor had a chance first shot missed and Denver fired 1:12:17.680 --> 1:12:20.000 in the air to let him have a second chance 1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:20.320 at life. 1:12:20.360 --> 1:12:23.960 And he said, no, I insist we continue this duel. Wow. 1:12:24.479 --> 1:12:27.240 And Denver said, okay, if that's why you want it. 1:12:27.840 --> 1:12:29.280 And Denver was a crack shot. 1:12:29.520 --> 1:12:31.800 I was gonna say, I mean, that's not the guy 1:12:31.840 --> 1:12:33.479 you'd want to be coming up against it. 1:12:33.800 --> 1:12:37.439 No, No, his picture is just it's compelling when you 1:12:37.479 --> 1:12:39.519 look at that picture of him, just a guy you 1:12:39.520 --> 1:12:40.719 would not want a trifle. 1:12:40.880 --> 1:12:41.000 Well. 1:12:41.080 --> 1:12:41.479 Yeah. 1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:44.240 And he also became the governor of the Kansas Territory 1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:47.200 during Bleeding Kansas, right, which, if you know your history, 1:12:47.439 --> 1:12:50.400 was the dress rehearsal for the Civil War, and he 1:12:50.560 --> 1:12:55.360 encountered all kinds of brutal massacres and raids. And one 1:12:55.400 --> 1:12:58.479 of the worst of the brutal psychopaths in Kansas at 1:12:58.479 --> 1:13:02.600 that time was John Oh Boy. John Brown, who is 1:13:02.640 --> 1:13:06.439 elevated as a hero in the abolitionist community, was a 1:13:06.479 --> 1:13:11.320 psychopathic murderer. He killed dozens of people, and he did 1:13:11.320 --> 1:13:14.320 it just in horrible ways and all in the name 1:13:14.320 --> 1:13:14.759 of God. 1:13:14.840 --> 1:13:15.360 At the time. 1:13:15.400 --> 1:13:19.559 For him, he was a diluted nuts yep, cold blooded 1:13:19.640 --> 1:13:21.000 psycho you know what. 1:13:21.120 --> 1:13:24.080 And it's just so much good history in here.
