Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior Saturday night
Speaker 1: muscle memory almost forced me to say, Sunday night, you
Speaker 1: have not been roofeed, you were not hallucinating. I'm filling
Speaker 1: in tonight, and honest to God, I have no idea
Speaker 1: who I'm even feeling in for the great Yet Armbruster
Speaker 1: text me the other day said, hey, can you fill
Speaker 1: in Saturday night?
Speaker 2: Mike? I said, yeah, I have no life.
Speaker 1: I have nothing to do on a Saturday night here
Speaker 1: I am, but honest to God, I can't think of
Speaker 1: anything else I'd rather be doing than talking at and
Speaker 1: with you all. Seven four nine, und The big one
Speaker 1: are the numbers to call. What a great Saturday, y'all.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful outside. Buck guys get the win today over
Speaker 1: Illinois Bearcats get the win.
Speaker 2: They're undefeated. What else is going on?
Speaker 1: We got finally, We'll talk about this in the in
Speaker 1: the next couple of segments. Israel and Palestine, specifically Hamas
Speaker 1: have apparently come to some sort of agreement that may
Speaker 1: look like peace. There has been a ceasefire apparently on
Speaker 1: Monday the remaining hostages, the Israeli hostages, are to be released.
Speaker 1: President Trump is going to be flying to the Middle
Speaker 1: East to oversee all of this and be there for
Speaker 1: the actual signatures to this peace agreement. Got to be honest.
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable that he was able to pull this off.
Speaker 1: But what's even more unbelievable is that the mainstream media
Speaker 1: and actually Hillary Clinton crawled out of her crypt to
Speaker 1: give Donald Trump credit for this, which is just it is,
Speaker 1: I crap, you not more shocking than the peace deal itself. Also,
Speaker 1: the government is shut down. There's nothing going on this
Speaker 1: weekend as far as any votes to be taken to
Speaker 1: reopen the government. It looks like they're not going to
Speaker 1: come back till Tuesday. Also, James Comey has been indicted.
Speaker 1: He was standing where he should be standing tall in
Speaker 1: front of the man during his arraignment earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Also in the eight thirty hour, we're going to be
Speaker 1: talking to Sean Porter all the way up in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Some sports.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking about what we got going on,
Speaker 1: MLB playoffs, who he thinks is going to go to
Speaker 1: the World Series, who he thinks college football who's going
Speaker 1: to be in the playoff. Also going to talk about
Speaker 1: something that's really interesting to me, and that's this saga
Speaker 1: of arch Manning at Texas. He is the son of
Speaker 1: I believe Cooper Manning, who is the son of the
Speaker 1: original Archie Manning, who is the father of Peyton and
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. We're going to talk about whether or not
Speaker 1: he is the first real true college football bust. We
Speaker 1: always talk about NFL Draft bus, but in the era
Speaker 1: of the transfer portal and nil deals and all the
Speaker 1: money flying around in college football, I think it's a
Speaker 1: safe question to ask. And I believe an article in
Speaker 1: The Athletic ask that same question. We'll be talking to
Speaker 1: Sean about that. But in the opening segment, well, and
Speaker 1: of course I want to hear from you seven four nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand when it hurt the big one of the
Speaker 1: numbers to call. In the first segment, I want to
Speaker 1: talk about the mayoral race here in Cincinnati a couple
Speaker 1: of nights ago. Corey Bowman, he is the Republican I
Speaker 1: guess nominee for mayor, faced off at Zavor University against
Speaker 1: the incumbent Democrat Mayor Aftam Purival. And I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: come out and say this, Corey Bowman took him to school. Megan,
Speaker 1: can you play that first clip.
Speaker 3: Please look, I'm so glad that we started with crime because,
Speaker 3: without question, this council and I have made crime the
Speaker 3: top priority in our community. For the first time in
Speaker 3: a very long time, police officers are out of their
Speaker 3: squad cars and onto the street, walking beats, interacting with
Speaker 3: the community, hearing from neighbors exactly what they're scared of.
Speaker 3: For the first time in a very very long time,
Speaker 3: we are actually enforcing the curfew and it has been
Speaker 3: extraordinarily successful.
Speaker 4: What the mayor did just say there is that for
Speaker 4: the first time you're seeing that. But last time I checked,
Speaker 4: he's been in office ever since four years ago, So
Speaker 4: why is it just happening now? The problem with city
Speaker 4: Hall right now is we're being reactive instead of proactive.
Speaker 3: What's important, though, is a candidate with experience, with specifics
Speaker 3: on how we're going to address the crime, both the
Speaker 3: perception and the reality that too many people are victims
Speaker 3: of violent crime.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about that night whenever all the violence happened.
Speaker 4: The reason why that violence happened wasn't because of the
Speaker 4: music festival. It wasn't because of the race aspect. It
Speaker 4: happened because administratively, you guys failed. The chief got on
Speaker 4: on a press conference has said that there were eleven
Speaker 4: officers in the third the third shift Central Business District.
Speaker 4: I looked at the Kronos report and there was three
Speaker 4: officers and only two PVOs that night. What that means
Speaker 4: is that you did not fully equip your city to
Speaker 4: be safe that night on one of the largest populated
Speaker 4: nights of our city. And that's what we're going to change,
Speaker 4: is we're going to be proactive when I'm mayor of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Boom roasted in the words of the Great Michael Scott, tonight,
Speaker 1: we're going to do something we haven't done for a while,
Speaker 1: and that is fire up the proverbial DeLorean and we're
Speaker 1: going to go back in time here. Okay, twenty seventeen headline,
Speaker 1: Fox nineteen. Now Cincinnati Mayor A. F. Tappurival will not
Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE agents and remove of illegal immigrants. So
Speaker 1: you have aftab pure of aol just saying there that
Speaker 1: I'm so happy we're talking about crime, and YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1: He does not care. It's just that simple. It was
Speaker 1: somebody who cared would welcome ICE into their city to
Speaker 1: get out criminal illegal gangbangers. And the hilarious quote from
Speaker 1: all the way back in twenty seventeen was there is
Speaker 1: no role for municipalities and federal immigration enforcement. We're going
Speaker 1: to follow the law now only in liberal lunatic land,
Speaker 1: only in aft have pure of all delusion? Can you
Speaker 1: say out loud that obstructing federal law is actually following
Speaker 1: the law. But you know, goodness knows anything goes but
Speaker 1: good news, folks, despite your own eyes and ears. After
Speaker 1: have pure of All cleared up all the confusion and
Speaker 1: let us all know that he does not need to
Speaker 1: care about crime because crime is down in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Hooray.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm getting ahead of myself here because this
Speaker 1: liar is continuously saying that crime is down in the
Speaker 1: city and it's just not true. It's just not true.
Speaker 1: And here is where the lie is. Through July twenty
Speaker 1: seventh and twenty twenty five, there were nine hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety five crimes reported in the city of Cincinnati. That's
Speaker 1: up from six fifty two during the same time period
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. It's up from five hundred and
Speaker 1: eighteen in twenty twenty three and five ninety and twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two these are you check my sources. This is
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Police Department's crime statistics. Now I went to
Speaker 1: Elder and that's same Elder that's now number one in
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio and in high school football. But
Speaker 1: I digress, nine hundred and ninety five is bigger than
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty two. Nine hundred and ninety five
Speaker 1: is bigger in five hundred and eighteen. Nine hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety five is a larger sum than five hundred and ninety.
Speaker 1: So again by my elder, math that is, crimes reported,
Speaker 1: especially in downtown are up thirty percent over a four
Speaker 1: year average. So he can't mayor he can't math. Uh,
Speaker 1: this guy should not be reelected, folks. He has previously
Speaker 1: said time and time again that the specific area of
Speaker 1: downtown where that horrible, horrible fight happened after the jazz festival,
Speaker 1: and that's just not call it a fight, a beatdown.
Speaker 1: He is non stop set over and over that this
Speaker 1: area had historically low crime rates and that they will
Speaker 1: quote make changes to how we police in that area
Speaker 1: as a result of the incident. Again, this is total
Speaker 1: bs because I see it every day in court and
Speaker 1: what you guys heard on that clip, for example, was
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman pointing out that they were three police officers
Speaker 1: operating uniform police officers operating out of the Central Business District.
Speaker 1: You know how I know that's true. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you a little story again, we'll get into DeLorean. A
Speaker 1: long time ago, maybe a couple of years, I represented
Speaker 1: a young man and I've spoken to.
Speaker 2: Him about this.
Speaker 1: He's cool with me talking about I'm not going to
Speaker 1: say any names or anything, who was savagely and I
Speaker 1: mean savagely beaten by a bouncer at one of the
Speaker 1: establishments at the banks. Again, not going to say who
Speaker 1: or where, and I'm not going to name names, but
Speaker 1: this beating took place literally right in front of the
Speaker 1: Central Business District office at the banks, right there, right
Speaker 1: in front of the taco joint. And this is like brutal, brutal.
Speaker 1: I mean, this kid was getting a hell beat out
Speaker 1: of him. And there's three or four videos that were
Speaker 1: on cell phone that I got sent to me after
Speaker 1: this kid had hired me. So I call up Central
Speaker 1: Business District. I'm like, hey, guys, has anybody been charged?
Speaker 1: And this They had no idea what I was talking about.
Speaker 1: So literally, my client gets the you know what beat
Speaker 1: out of them, goes home, doesn't talk to the police
Speaker 1: because no police showed up, doesn't go to the hospital
Speaker 1: because nobody took them. And Central Business District didn't even
Speaker 1: know that this happened until I sent them a cell
Speaker 1: phone video. That's it. They had no idea. Now, again,
Speaker 1: this was not negligence on cpdeast part. They can only
Speaker 1: work with what they got. This was not them turning
Speaker 1: a blind eye. This was not you know, somebody's saying,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like messing with these drunk people. When
Speaker 1: I spoke to CPD Central Business District, do you know
Speaker 1: how many officers they had working after a prime time
Speaker 1: Bengals game where there's probably about one hundred thousand people
Speaker 1: at any given time in that tiny little area at
Speaker 1: the banks. They had free uniform police officers working that night.
Speaker 1: That's how I know Corey Bowman is telling a truth.
Speaker 1: There for seventy thousand people three this guy, and when
Speaker 1: I say this guy, I mean Mayor purrevol does not care.
Speaker 1: He just does not care. He only cares about his
Speaker 1: next political office. Ask anyone involved in the court system,
Speaker 1: they'll tell you. When he was clerk of courts he
Speaker 1: didn't want to be there. He ran for Congress and
Speaker 1: then lost in this hilarious campaign meltdown where he blew
Speaker 1: like a six point lead. He got blown up for
Speaker 1: a bunch of campaign finance violations. And look, all politicians
Speaker 1: are selfish, man like, there's got to be a little
Speaker 1: narcissism in anybody like that. But the reality is is
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has just face planted into another violent crime epidemic
Speaker 1: four days ago. This guy is at a ribbon cutting
Speaker 1: for low income housing, you know, fresh off the heels
Speaker 1: of no confidence votes from Cincinnati police. He's at a
Speaker 1: ribbon cutting for housing. Why because housing is the is
Speaker 1: the Democrat issue d jore nationally. Nationally, it is a
Speaker 1: national talking point. And he is a politician with national
Speaker 1: office aspirations. So why would he care about young black
Speaker 1: men killing each other? Why would he care about downtown
Speaker 1: business owners wanting to shut her up and run for
Speaker 1: the hills. And like most Democrats, if he repeats the
Speaker 1: same thing over and over again that crime is down
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati, it magically comes true. And
Speaker 1: if he can cook the books, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better term, he doesn't have to talk about it.
Speaker 2: He can continue doing easy things like cutting ribbons.
Speaker 1: But you know, why would he care about, you know,
Speaker 1: the desperate pleas of a widow of a guy who
Speaker 1: is murdered in his own home after a sociopath off
Speaker 1: his ankle monitor. You know, why would he care about
Speaker 1: the despot please of that woman's or of that man's
Speaker 1: widow begging the city to do something about this?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Why are we surprised that he wouldn't demand a councilwoman,
Speaker 1: specifically Victoria Parks, resign after she said that these folks
Speaker 1: who were beaten after the jazz festival deserved everything that
Speaker 1: they got. Why are any of us surprised that he
Speaker 1: couldn't even be bothered to fly home from vacation after
Speaker 1: videos of a violent mob attacking random people in the
Speaker 1: middle of the street are blasted all over the world.
Speaker 1: Why are any of a surprised anyway? That's what I think.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you think. Seven four nine,
Speaker 1: seven thousand win the big one of the numbers to
Speaker 1: call if you guys think that's the only reason he
Speaker 1: shouldn't be mare. I got about five more coming up
Speaker 1: after the break. Mike Allen Junior on news radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: Hey, we're back.
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior Saturday night
Speaker 1: got me to about nine o'clock.
Speaker 2: Then I think Gary Jeff After that till midnight.
Speaker 1: We are talking about the debate between Cincinnati Mayor f
Speaker 1: Tad Pureval and the guy who wants that job and
Speaker 1: in my opinion, deserves that job, Corey Bowman.
Speaker 2: And I'm just.
Speaker 1: Doing my best as somebody who loves this city to
Speaker 1: convince any listener living in the Cincinnati area or living
Speaker 1: within the Cincinnati city limits, excuse me to convince you
Speaker 1: that f Tab Purevol does not deserve to be re elected.
Speaker 1: And we were talking about his refusal to cooperate with
Speaker 1: Ice to get violent, illegal criminal gang bangers out of
Speaker 1: our city. He's also refusing to take the full, the
Speaker 1: full offer, so to speak, from Governor Dwine, to have
Speaker 1: some of the Ohio State Patrol come down to help
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati's shortage and police officers. They are about two
Speaker 1: hundred cops short from operating at full capacity. And not
Speaker 1: only that, we had this beating after the jazz festival
Speaker 1: where he literally could not be bothered to fly home
Speaker 1: from vacation after videos and images were blasted across social
Speaker 1: media and frankly had made international news of mobs of
Speaker 1: people beating the hell out of people in the middle
Speaker 1: of the street. Right after the jazz festival, we found
Speaker 1: out that there were three uniform police officers working out
Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Business District that night. And I can
Speaker 1: tell you that's actually true because I've had many cases
Speaker 1: in my practice that have essentially demonstrated, especially with the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Business District, that they are just not enough officers
Speaker 1: down there. And again CPD is two hundred short. And
Speaker 1: this guy's been there for four years. And we played
Speaker 1: a clip earlier in the debate where Corey Bowman and
Speaker 1: here going back and forth, and he's talking about we're
Speaker 1: doing all of these things for the first time, and
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, man, you've been here for why
Speaker 1: are you just now doing this?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 1: And he anybody who knows Cincinnati politics, this guy has
Speaker 1: his eyes on national politics.
Speaker 2: He has his eyes on national office.
Speaker 1: And you know, for somebody that doesn't really have any
Speaker 1: personal investment, because that's the thing is he talks about
Speaker 1: everything that we built. You didn't build a damn thing, dude,
Speaker 1: You didn't build anything. After the riots, in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, A lot of people did a lot of
Speaker 1: work to rebuild this city, and I don't think he
Speaker 1: really understands how bad it was.
Speaker 2: In two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: We are at the brink of losing our beautiful downtown
Speaker 1: because of this guy. I mean, there's just there's literally,
Speaker 1: I mean this wholeheartedly, it is because of him. So
Speaker 1: you know, why are we surprised when he couldn't be
Speaker 1: bothered to fly home from vacation to try and stop
Speaker 1: the bleeding on In my opinion, the most embarrassing thing
Speaker 1: to happen in Cincinnati, I mean, other than sports since
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. I mean, that was flat out embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I remember, I'll never forget this. Going to visit a
Speaker 1: college back in like two thousand and four, and it
Speaker 1: was my cousin was going there and he took me.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously I didn't really care about visiting the college.
Speaker 1: I wanted to visit the fraternity. And I'm shaking hands
Speaker 1: with people and they're like, where you're from from Cincinnati? Oh,
Speaker 1: oh wow, you're from Cincinnati. I mean it was like
Speaker 1: I may as well have said I was from Compton
Speaker 1: or Detroit. I mean, it was like, man, is it
Speaker 1: that bad? And over twenty years we rebuilt that and
Speaker 1: we are, I mean this an inch away from losing it.
Speaker 1: So we have this beating downtown. The entire city is embarrassed.
Speaker 1: He doesn't come home, and of course there's a lot
Speaker 1: of crazy people out there saying crazy things on social media,
Speaker 1: and like always in twenty twenty five America, race has
Speaker 1: to be sucked into the conversation, and there are a
Speaker 1: lot of agitators and idiots like Iris Rawley and idiots
Speaker 1: because that's just what she is. Victoria Parks basically saying
Speaker 1: that these people deserved it and that they were angry,
Speaker 1: that I swear to God that a white person had
Speaker 1: not been charged. And that's despite and we'll point out
Speaker 1: she's a Democrat, Hamilton County Prosecutor County Pillich saying these
Speaker 1: people should not be charged. Despite CPD saying these people
Speaker 1: should not be charged. The response was for the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and the city solicitor to lean on the
Speaker 1: police to charge mister Chevinsky, a Russian guy. And I'm sorry, buddy,
Speaker 1: if I'm screwing your name up. Who is a victim
Speaker 1: in the beating with disorderly conduct because I kid you not,
Speaker 1: they needed a white person charge. Now important to this
Speaker 1: conversation is understanding the different players here. There is the
Speaker 1: Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office, which prosecutes misdemeanors in Hamilton County
Speaker 1: that are outside of the city. Right, So like Green
Speaker 1: Township or Cole Rain or Springfield Township. The Hamlin County
Speaker 1: Prosecutor's Office prosecutes misdemeanors that are committed outside of the
Speaker 1: city limits in the county and felonies that are committed
Speaker 1: anywhere in Hamlin County. So if you have a murder
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati, the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office would prosecute
Speaker 1: that murder because it's a felony.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: So the City Solicitor's office handles misdemeanors that are charged
Speaker 1: within the city of Cincinnati. So now that we got
Speaker 1: that distinction, the response from the city, even though everybody
Speaker 1: else involved in this said there is no crime to charge,
Speaker 1: the response was for the city solicitor and the police,
Speaker 1: and that's Attorney Emily Werner, the city solicitor who in
Speaker 1: part runs the City Prosecutor's office, to charge one of
Speaker 1: the victims of this beating the white fellow because again
Speaker 1: they needed a white eye charge. And this is the
Speaker 1: City Solicitor's office, which is the city prosecutor's office, and
Speaker 1: the pure of administration's blatant political meddling. And this is
Speaker 1: the worst I've ever seen, at least locally. Overruling the
Speaker 1: police officers and prosecutors for cheap political points is disgusting
Speaker 1: and frankly, those who were involved in this should be
Speaker 1: completely ashamed of themselves, but they have no shame. And
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say this, and I'll probably regret it,
Speaker 1: but frankly, I don't care. This is nothing new for
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati Prosecutor's office.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: It's just not I day in and day out, I
Speaker 1: see it. Ask any defense attorney in the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: They will say the exact thing, if they're being honest
Speaker 1: with you. This is nothing new for Miss Warner's office.
Speaker 1: And I'm again cleared this with my clients to talk
Speaker 1: about it. I have had in the last three years
Speaker 1: three or four cases that, thank god, thank god, I
Speaker 1: was able to beat the case for my clients because
Speaker 1: they genuinely didn't do anything wrong here. I've had three
Speaker 1: or four cases where I've gotten not guilty verdicts on
Speaker 1: cases where the police have told the prosecutors that they
Speaker 1: made a mistake or that they investigated for and the
Speaker 1: case had no merit anymore. Thank god I got not
Speaker 1: guilty verdicts on him, because that's just that's what I do.
Speaker 2: I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Smoke arrogant, shady prosecutors with severe daddy issues for a living.
Speaker 1: It's fun. But what about those people that are charged.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a direct quote from a member of
Speaker 1: that office. We would rather try cases and lose them
Speaker 1: rather than dismiss them. So not only is that shady,
Speaker 1: that's an actual ethical violation. So the city Prosecutor's office
Speaker 1: continuing to prosecute this man, mister Chevinsky, is an actual
Speaker 1: ethical violation that you can be suspended from the practice
Speaker 1: of law for. And what's astonishing to me is normally
Speaker 1: you have to report those things. This is right here
Speaker 1: for everyone to see. I hope to God that mister
Speaker 1: Chevinsky has a very good lawyer, and I hope that
Speaker 1: when he does get the not guilty verdict that is
Speaker 1: an enviable he files bar complaints against every single prosecutor
Speaker 1: involved in charging his client, because I'm telling you right now, folks,
Speaker 1: he is not new. This guy is joins a very,
Speaker 1: a not exclusive club of people that the City of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati continues to prosecute unethically when they cannot prove that
Speaker 1: case or have no probable cause to prosecute the case.
Speaker 1: It happens every freaking day, every day down there. My
Speaker 1: hope is that these people who prosecute this man, who
Speaker 1: made the decision to prosecute this man, because it's one
Speaker 1: thing to charge the guy to continue the prosecution. My
Speaker 1: hope is that these people will be held accountable and
Speaker 1: frankly have to hand in their law license because they
Speaker 1: should not be practicing law if they are that, if
Speaker 1: they are using the power of the state to prosecute
Speaker 1: a person for political purposes, I cannot think of a
Speaker 1: better reason to disbar somebody. So, you know, for a
Speaker 1: have to have pureival. Emily Werner, the city Solicitor, I
Speaker 1: have this to say. You guys paint black lives matters
Speaker 1: in front of city Hall. You guys have your photo
Speaker 1: ops in front of black owned businesses. You put up plaques,
Speaker 1: you know, praising black leaders. You guys don't do a
Speaker 1: damn thing for the black community.
Speaker 2: Not a damn thing.
Speaker 1: You guys claim to care about victims, but only those
Speaker 1: victims who check your boxes.
Speaker 2: It's amazing, I'll tell you. Another one is a great one.
Speaker 1: You talk about how you guys care about the disenfranchised
Speaker 1: and the down trodden. What about the guy who lived
Speaker 1: in a mold infested apartment and when your health department
Speaker 1: did nothing, nothing to hold the slumlord accountable, and he
Speaker 1: eventually gets into a verbal altercation with the four time
Speaker 1: felon who has a warrant out for strangulation that somehow
Speaker 1: is working as a super at this apartment complex, shows
Speaker 1: up at my client's door, bangs on it, shoves a
Speaker 1: gun in his face, threatens to kill him, and my
Speaker 1: client is arrested. My client is arrested. It's astonishing. And
Speaker 1: what's more is when the police finally realized they made
Speaker 1: a mistake, that they made a mistake, the city prosecutor's
Speaker 1: office continued to prosecute my client, who had no record,
Speaker 1: who was a completely legal gun owner, for having the
Speaker 1: audacity when two random strangers show up at his door
Speaker 1: and point a gun in his face, to pull his
Speaker 1: pistol and slam the door on them. When the police
Speaker 1: came to the city prosecutors and told them they arrested
Speaker 1: the wrong person, they continued the prosecution.
Speaker 2: They continued.
Speaker 1: I've seen cases where the stuff is on video and
Speaker 1: they continue it. And the one thread between all of them, folks,
Speaker 1: the one thread between all of them, is that the
Speaker 1: alleged defendant in each case was not somebody who checked
Speaker 1: their box, and that the alleged victim in each case
Speaker 1: checked that box, every single one of them. So to
Speaker 1: mister Travinsky, the guy who got the crap beat out
Speaker 1: of him in the middle of the street, who is
Speaker 1: a victim of a brutal beating that has now found
Speaker 1: himself a defendant charged by the city of Cincinnati, I
Speaker 1: hate to tell you this, brother, get in line. This
Speaker 1: happens every single day down there. And my hope is
Speaker 1: that this man's attorney, that this man's attorney gets a
Speaker 1: it's an inevitable not guilty verdict or hangs, gets a
Speaker 1: good outcome for his client, and then files bar complaints
Speaker 1: against every single prosecutor that's involved in this. You've heard
Speaker 1: me rant time and time again about the federal law
Speaker 1: enforcement agencies and the Department of Justice, the federal prosecutors
Speaker 1: that go after people for political purposes. This is literally
Speaker 1: the exact same thing, exact same thing played out on
Speaker 1: a local level. You think I'm done, folks, I'm not
Speaker 1: coming up. After the break, we're gonna talk about how
Speaker 1: remember that sale of a railroad we had where we
Speaker 1: all owned the city of Cysnat. He owned a railroad
Speaker 1: that they had no idea about, and the people voted
Speaker 1: to sell this railroad for some inordinate amount of money
Speaker 1: because the city is so terrible at handling its finances.
Speaker 1: We needed the money for them to fix the infrastructure
Speaker 1: in the potholes. Whatever happened to that? Whatever happened to that?
Speaker 1: Do you notice less potholes? Because I don't. Not only
Speaker 1: can this guy not keep people safe, he can't get
Speaker 1: the snow off the roads, he can't fill the potholes,
Speaker 1: he can't keep the police department staffed. I mean this,
Speaker 1: to quote the great movie Office Space mayor Pirreval. What
Speaker 1: would you say that you do here? I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't even do the basics, and you actually have the
Speaker 1: audacity to ask for another term. It's only an American
Speaker 1: politics in twenty twenty five, folks. Anyway, coming up, after
Speaker 1: the break and take some calls, some four nine, the
Speaker 1: big one of the numbers to call. Coming up at
Speaker 1: eight thirty, we're gonna be talking to Sean Porter about
Speaker 1: who he thinks is going to get into the college
Speaker 1: football Playoff, who he thinks is going to get into
Speaker 1: the World Series and eventually win it. And also the
Speaker 1: curious case of Arch Manning, the son of Cooper Manning,
Speaker 1: bloodline of the royal family of quarterbacks, the Manning family.
Speaker 1: Is this kid a victim of circumstance or is this
Speaker 1: something that he brought on himself? Is this too? Is
Speaker 1: it too early to call him a bust? And are
Speaker 1: we even able to call college recruits busts at this
Speaker 1: point given the NIL stuff and the emergence of the
Speaker 1: transfer portal. Yeah, all kinds of stuff going on. Got
Speaker 1: me till nine o'clock, got Gary Jeff Walker after that.
Speaker 1: Mike Allen Jr. On News Radio seven hundred WLW. Hey,
Speaker 1: we're back in news radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Jr.
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Excuse me, Saturday night. I knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna do it this muscle memory, folks, we are talking about, well,
Speaker 1: the the lack of leadership from Mayor Purivol's office, as
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati looks at some skyrocketing crime. We
Speaker 1: can't fill our potholes, we can't clear the snow.
Speaker 2: It's just not a good look.
Speaker 1: And I just wonder what this guy does on the
Speaker 1: daily or even if he cares about making things better here.
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk here in a minute about the
Speaker 1: sale of that railroad back in twenty twenty three from
Speaker 1: the City Cincinnati. They're supposed to use those funds on
Speaker 1: some badly, badly needed infrastructure repairs that we wouldn't even
Speaker 1: be dealing with if it wasn't for mismanagement. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just it is what it is that this guy's
Speaker 1: been in office for four years. Nothing has gotten better.
Speaker 1: But you know, we have a bunch of ribbon cuttings
Speaker 1: and it more gaslighting. But anyway, I want to go
Speaker 1: to the phone seven, the big one of the numbers
Speaker 1: to call.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Terry.
Speaker 1: He wants to talk about the difference in uh sincey
Speaker 1: politics in northern Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Hey, Terry, what's going on? Man?
Speaker 6: I thank taking my pig worker Dad. I was crimes
Speaker 6: for years when you're Dad cross. Yeah, uh it was
Speaker 6: an a county organization. And you cannot believe the discrepancy
Speaker 6: between northern Kentucky and southern Ohio in the everybody it's
Speaker 6: most like to go. We have been uh English three times.
Speaker 6: Its offer bob out of.
Speaker 2: Hey, Terry.
Speaker 1: I hate to cut you off, man, we can't understand
Speaker 1: a word you're saying, buddy. If you want to try
Speaker 1: from a different line and call us back, that would
Speaker 1: be cool. But yeah, not didn't pick up a whole
Speaker 1: lot other than big difference in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And that's true. If you guys may remember, for damn
Speaker 1: near over a decade. At this point, northern Kentucky was
Speaker 1: running circles around the city of Cincinnati. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: about in the early two thousands, they built Newport on
Speaker 1: the Levee, had all this new development over there because
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati, in part because of the collaborative agreement,
Speaker 1: it was very hard for businesses to open downtown here
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. But I think it really all goes to
Speaker 1: why did we need why would we need to sell
Speaker 1: a railroad in order to just do basic infrastructure stuff right, Like,
Speaker 1: why would why would we need to go to the
Speaker 1: pawn shop to pawn something just to pay our rent
Speaker 1: pretty much.
Speaker 2: And I would say one, it's because of mismanagement.
Speaker 1: So as you guys recall back in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: there was a vote in the City of Cincinnati to
Speaker 1: sell this railroad I think was the Norfolk Southern for
Speaker 1: some obscene amount of money that was going to get
Speaker 1: paid out. I think it's overall. It's a one point
Speaker 1: six billion dollar trust, and the investment returns from the
Speaker 1: trust were to be used to city infrastructure repair city infrastructure.
Speaker 1: The reality is, though, is that that's not exactly happening.
Speaker 1: So Mayor Pureval and Paula Muthing are chairman of the trust.
Speaker 1: They actually had a news conference last week arguing that
Speaker 1: the railway sale has gone as planned. You may want
Speaker 1: to ask folks on the west side of Cincinnati whether
Speaker 1: or not.
Speaker 2: This sale has gone to plan.
Speaker 1: You should probably check out some of the roads there,
Speaker 1: because those folks would say it's not going to plan anyway.
Speaker 1: The city will receive fifty eight million from the first payout,
Speaker 1: which begins July first, twenty twenty six. It received about
Speaker 1: fifth sorry, that's the second fifty six million this year,
Speaker 1: which is twenty seven more than it would have received
Speaker 1: if they just leased the railroad to Norfolk Southern. So
Speaker 1: there's been money paid out, a lot of money, but
Speaker 1: the city continues to face a four hundred million dollar
Speaker 1: deficit on maintenance and capital for basic needs such as
Speaker 1: the city street sidewalks, parks, recreation, fire, police, public service,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So the trust fund will
Speaker 1: reduce that total, but it's not going to do at all.
Speaker 1: So from the current batch of railroad spending, the largest
Speaker 1: expenditure has been eighteen million, and that's for street rehabilitation,
Speaker 1: right right, So has that money resulted in any roads
Speaker 1: being paved in this fiscal year which started July first?
Speaker 1: And I think the answer is no. So I have
Speaker 1: to have purevol said to the Cincinnati Business Courier, quote,
Speaker 1: I understand folks frustration. So the Cincinnati Business Courier requested
Speaker 1: a list of roads that have been repaved with this money.
Speaker 1: And there's actually a website. You guys can check this out.
Speaker 1: It's the city's since He on Track website, which attempts
Speaker 1: to provide up to date spending estimates on the city's
Speaker 1: plan to fix the backlog on maintenance and infrastructure, and
Speaker 1: it shows that very very little of that money was
Speaker 1: spent on road paving. So of that eighteen million dollars
Speaker 1: budgeted for street rehabilitation, that's just budgeted. That's that's not
Speaker 1: the total, that's just what the city has decided to
Speaker 1: budget for street rehabilitation. They have spent three percent of
Speaker 1: that one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Essentially.
Speaker 1: It also budgeted another thirteen million from non railway trust
Speaker 1: money for street rehabilitation, thirteen million dollars they've spent seven
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. Unbelievable. So we were told that if you
Speaker 1: vote for this, this money will be used for fixing
Speaker 1: the potholes, fixing the pavement, fixing the uneven sidewalks, and
Speaker 1: total of those two numbers, eight percent has been spent
Speaker 1: on that. It's it is unfreaking believable and in classic
Speaker 1: after have purevol fashion. The quote is quote. I think
Speaker 1: it bears repeating that these are all challenges previous councils
Speaker 1: failed to lead on. Dude, you've been in charge for
Speaker 1: over three years, buddy, Like, at what point in time
Speaker 1: do you bear any responsibility for any of this? Honest
Speaker 1: to god, like, at what point do you bear any
Speaker 1: responsibility for any of this. So we can't clear snow
Speaker 1: after blizzards, we can't fill potholes, we can't keep people safe, Like, what.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, but anyway, we talked about firing up
Speaker 1: the Dolore and let's go back in time again. Right,
Speaker 1: So we had this murder, this brutal murder of a
Speaker 1: downtown gym owner. His name's escaping me right now, but
Speaker 1: where somebody literally murdered him in his sleep after they
Speaker 1: cut an ankle monitor off, after they've been on they
Speaker 1: were out on bond.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: So, if you're living downtown or living within the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, you see this on the news, you go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, dude, this guy just walked into this
Speaker 1: dude's house when he's sleeping and murdered him. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: I should buy a gun. Huh, Maybe I should buy
Speaker 1: a gun. You see these people that get to live
Speaker 1: in crapbeat out of them downtown. You say to yourself, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm downtown all the time. Maybe I should buy a gun.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should carry that gun that I just bought. Right,
Speaker 1: But a lot of times you can't leave it, take
Speaker 1: it out of your car. So the solution, the solution
Speaker 1: is to start charging gun owners again. The news moves
Speaker 1: so fast now we forget it.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: In the city of Cincinnati, it was about three years
Speaker 1: ago the mayor and city Council passed a law where
Speaker 1: you can be charged with a misdemeanor and a fourth
Speaker 1: degree if your gun is stolen. Doesn't matter, If the
Speaker 1: gun's legal doesn't matter, if the gun's hot does matter.
Speaker 1: If your gun is stolen, you will be prosecuted for
Speaker 1: not securing that gun enough and not reporting it in
Speaker 1: a timely manner. You cannot make this up. So the
Speaker 1: response to the endemic gun violence is not to hire
Speaker 1: more police officers. It's not to take the help offered
Speaker 1: by the state of Ohio and Governor Dwine offering all
Speaker 1: of these these all of these Ohio State patrolman to
Speaker 1: fill in the gaps of the Cincinnati Police Department. That's
Speaker 1: not how you do it. You start charging the victims
Speaker 1: of thefts. You start charging the victims of people who
Speaker 1: have had their cars broken into. You start charging the
Speaker 1: victims of burglaries and breaking it like it's it is.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Cincinnati, folks. You know, over the past four
Speaker 1: years since this clown has been in charge, our streets
Speaker 1: have become extremely dangerous. Families have no opportunities for jobs
Speaker 1: and careers. Businesses and restaurants that would give those opportunities
Speaker 1: are closing because they don't want to be downtown. Our
Speaker 1: infrastructure is crumbling, with potholes everywhere. The Westerns Viaduct has
Speaker 1: freaking concrete falling off it. Homeless people that are in
Speaker 1: camps that are supposed to be illegal are setting fires
Speaker 1: under the Brent Spence Bridge, essentially threatening literally all of
Speaker 1: the of the of the transit of goods and economics
Speaker 1: essentially up the entire East Coast literally because this guy
Speaker 1: does not want to enforce these things. We have homeless
Speaker 1: people setting bridges on fire, making all the working people
Speaker 1: that work in this community's lives a living hell, trying
Speaker 1: to deal with the traffic because you don't want to
Speaker 1: clear out homeless encampments. Somebody, please, I mean this seven
Speaker 1: four nine, seven thousand winner at the Big One, come
Speaker 1: up with a cognizant and logical reason as to why
Speaker 1: this man deserves another term. You know, all of this
Speaker 1: crap's happening, the infrastructure's crumbling, and is so called affordable
Speaker 1: housing projects are are the the the biggest concern, so
Speaker 1: he doesn't take any money from the state to help
Speaker 1: with the people getting the crap beat out of him downtown.
Speaker 1: His police officers hands are ties tied. They're totally overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: They actually voted no confidence in their own boss. The
Speaker 1: fire departments have no financial support whatsoever. You have all
Speaker 1: these firefighters that are coming down with cancer that they
Speaker 1: develop we're serving our city. You can't treat them, you
Speaker 1: can't support them financially. The resident into your city are
Speaker 1: actually begging for help. But God knows, we can't fire
Speaker 1: Iris Rawley, the quote unquote consultant who gets paid an
Speaker 1: obscene amount of money that's the last vestige of the
Speaker 1: of the collaborative agreement, and also hires her own sonnet
Speaker 1: like four grand a month for a job that nobody
Speaker 1: really has.
Speaker 2: Any idea like why it exists.
Speaker 1: So maybe, like we might have some money for infrastructure
Speaker 1: if we just did not spend it the way that
Speaker 1: this clown has decided to bad. But I mean it
Speaker 1: like I am sick and tired of gunshots in broad daylight.
Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of fifteen year olds dying in
Speaker 1: the middle of the street. I'm tired of calling my
Speaker 1: clients to remind him of court dates, only to be
Speaker 1: told they died of a fentanyl overdose or were shot
Speaker 1: in the face the night before. I'm tired of prosecutors
Speaker 1: ignoring the police officers who actually do the investigating. And
Speaker 1: most of all, I am tired of this joke of
Speaker 1: a mare and his excuses.
Speaker 2: I'm just tired.
Speaker 1: Gall Anyway, let's to fake at Government Square, I mean,
Speaker 1: honest to god like And I guess the real question
Speaker 1: is and we can answer it when we come back
Speaker 1: from the break seven four nine, seven thousand, win earn
Speaker 1: the big one, because well that's all I'm gonna do, folks,
Speaker 1: is take your calls till the calls are done. But
Speaker 1: it is no wonder we are in the position.
Speaker 2: We are in.
Speaker 1: And all the way at the beginning of this show,
Speaker 1: when we played that clip of Aftapirival saying we are
Speaker 1: now doing all of these things right like we are now,
Speaker 1: you know, enforcing a curfew and blah blah blah and
Speaker 1: all this other bull crap, It's like, dude, where were
Speaker 1: you the last three years? And he was at ribbon
Speaker 1: cuttings and he was making videos about housing and all
Speaker 1: kinds of other garbage and it it it's I know
Speaker 1: that everybody who doesn't follow this stuff is shocked. I'm
Speaker 1: just going to tell you, y'all, this was a long
Speaker 1: time coming, and I think it started with elections that
Speaker 1: you know, put in certain judges in certain places. I
Speaker 1: think it definitely was the beginning of when when after
Speaker 1: Pureval was elected that that was, without question one, the
Speaker 1: beginning of the end. Maryor Cranley was a Democrat. I
Speaker 1: don't think that the CPD would ever ever have considered
Speaker 1: a no confidence vote in Mayor Cranley.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is bad.
Speaker 1: This is bad, and it's embarrassing, and it's a massive
Speaker 1: Cincinnati super fan uh who grew up in Salor Park,
Speaker 1: which is the last bastion of safety and accountability within
Speaker 1: the city limits. And it's mainly because the people care
Speaker 1: more about their neighborhood than the city does. We're in
Speaker 1: trouble and if we do not change course, we are
Speaker 1: in in some serious, serious dire straits. But coming up
Speaker 1: after the break, your calls some four nine seven thousand
Speaker 1: winner at the big one of the number to call,
Speaker 1: take your calls, and then we'll sort of transition like
Speaker 1: Bruce Jenner uh, into some national political stuff. We got
Speaker 1: the shutdown, we got the piece in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: all of that. Mike Allen Junior on news radio seven
Speaker 1: hundred WLW, they were back News Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 1: Mike Allen Junior Saturday night, got me till about nine
Speaker 1: o'clock and then I think they got Gary Jeff coming in.
Speaker 1: We're rounding out this whole. UH have to have pure
Speaker 1: of all bash session, so to speak. And I look,
Speaker 1: I know I'm hard on the guy, but I I
Speaker 1: really do mean this. I want to know what he
Speaker 1: has done to earn another term. I mean, list his accomplishment.
Speaker 1: I mean that's they don't exist. What's frankly maddening about
Speaker 1: it is the fact that we sell this railroad to
Speaker 1: Norfolk Southern for an obscene amount of money and it's
Speaker 1: all going to be used for infrastructure and repairing the
Speaker 1: potholes and yacht and then each each time there's another transaction,
Speaker 1: so to speak, that number just gets whittled down lower
Speaker 1: and lower and lower to now literally like three percent
Speaker 1: of this money is being spent on repairing Cincinnati's roads.
Speaker 1: And you ask yourselfself, with taxes as high as they
Speaker 1: are in the city two hundred cops that you should
Speaker 1: be paying that you're not. You're not paying for the CFD,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Fire departments, guys that are getting sick from doing,
Speaker 1: you know, their jobs in the city. You're not paying
Speaker 1: those folks. You're definitely have a lack of people plowing snow,
Speaker 1: Like why do you not have enough money to fill
Speaker 1: the potholes. Well, here, let me explain something to you.
Speaker 1: There's this woman and her name is Iris Raleigh, right,
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to single her out.
Speaker 2: Well, actually i am, because she deserves it.
Speaker 1: But this is the type of stuff I'm talking about
Speaker 1: when I just talk about setting money on fire. Iris
Speaker 1: Raleigh is a consultant essentially, and she had a contract
Speaker 1: that's been extended. She basically was somebody who was supposed
Speaker 1: to be like this community activist and community leader that
Speaker 1: was gonna like somehow make the collaborative agreement with Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Police and the City of Cincinnati, you know, go smoother
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, But what she's known
Speaker 1: for is saying really offensive stuff and interfering with arrests
Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati. And I'm reading from WLWT News five here.
Speaker 1: CPD Union is urging city leaders to fire consultant. That's
Speaker 1: how you know somebody is a waste of money consultant
Speaker 1: Iris Raleigh, accusing her interfering with police work and harassing
Speaker 1: officers during incidents and over the rhine. If you guys want,
Speaker 1: you can get on Twitter. I should have posted it.
Speaker 1: The video is on there. If you just even Iris
Speaker 1: Raley being an idiot, I'm sure it'll come up. But
Speaker 1: her interactions with officers were captured on body cam. In
Speaker 1: one of the clips, Raley can be seen intervening as
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati police officer is asking a man to pour
Speaker 1: out a beer he's drinking on the sidewalk. The man
Speaker 1: repeatedly refuses to comply, and Raley can been seen walking up.
Speaker 1: Do you know my name? Do you know who I am?
Speaker 1: I'm Iris Raleigh direct quote. She then proceeds to communicate
Speaker 1: with both the officer and the man, asking the cop
Speaker 1: about the situation whether the man wanted the file complain
Speaker 1: against the officer while the cop is just standing there.
Speaker 1: Talk about having the cops backs, folks. I can't see
Speaker 1: why anybody would not want to be a Cincinnati police officer.
Speaker 1: Ralli then proceeds to barate the cop and the man
Speaker 1: asking the cop about the situation. Eventually, and the man
Speaker 1: wanted the file a complaint. She says, quote, here's what
Speaker 1: we do in Cincinnati. If the officer is as horrible
Speaker 1: as you say, then there's a process for me to
Speaker 1: know that she ain't on my list. Now, if she's
Speaker 1: as bad as you say she is to you, then
Speaker 1: then you don't put it on my list.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't help her get better and or get fired.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's English. And another clip, Raley
Speaker 1: can be seen intervening as a CPD officer is talking
Speaker 1: about giving a traffic ticket to a woman on a
Speaker 1: street near Finlay Market.
Speaker 2: I definitely saw this one.
Speaker 1: She appears to dissuade the officer from issuing the ticket
Speaker 1: and seems to suggest that she've views it as her
Speaker 1: responsibility to intervene in police responses around her neighborhood and
Speaker 1: over the line. Now, if you or I did that,
Speaker 1: we would be charged with obstruction of official business. But
Speaker 1: because she's Iris Raley, she could do whatever she wants.
Speaker 1: It's just astonishing, And throughout the course of the conversation,
Speaker 1: the female officer appears to indicate that she had met
Speaker 1: Raleigh on prior occasions where she had intervened in the
Speaker 1: middle of her work, so again, this obviously was not
Speaker 1: the first time. Raleigh can be seen following the officer
Speaker 1: down the street, saying that she does not trust the
Speaker 1: officer to be left alone as she proceeds to issue
Speaker 1: another citation to a man on the street. So she
Speaker 1: just followed this cop as this cops trying to do
Speaker 1: her job. Again, this is all coming from a defense attorney, folks,
Speaker 1: So I hope that that you know says something to you.
Speaker 1: The officer then calls her backup as Irish rally attempts
Speaker 1: to physically put herself in between the officer and the
Speaker 1: man being cited. Why was she not charged? Ken kober True,
Speaker 1: American President of the Cincinnati FOP, said, quote, what we
Speaker 1: saw in that video is not collaboration. That was agitation.
Speaker 1: I could not agree more. It is one thousand percent
Speaker 1: inappropriate for her to be doing things like that. Well,
Speaker 1: the good news is is for existing giving her son
Speaker 1: a job at four four hundred dollars a month, all
Speaker 1: on the taxpayer dime, Folks, harassing police officers that are
Speaker 1: trying to do their job and then just saying outwardly
Speaker 1: racist stuff. Her contract is valued at five hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars until April twenty twenty seven. This includes
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to be paid for
Speaker 1: two quarters the fall of twenty twenty four in the
Speaker 1: spring at twenty twenty five. What they are calling quote
Speaker 1: the Government Square Initiative. That's where she hired her son.
Speaker 1: So she's it's obscene how much money this woman is making.
Speaker 1: It is obscene. And again she hires her son at
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars a year to apparently make sure,
Speaker 1: like in Billy Madison, like that the bus drivers are
Speaker 1: turning the wheels right, and that people are not shooting
Speaker 1: each other or whatever the hell. I have no idea,
Speaker 1: I really don't. I just know that we should cancel
Speaker 1: that contract, use that half a million dollars to pave
Speaker 1: a mile of road, and then you know, in a change,
Speaker 1: we can name the road after her. Sounds like a
Speaker 1: fair deal anyway. Let's uh, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 1: Man calls it up. Let's talk to Bobby. Hey, Bobby,
Speaker 1: what's going on, buddy? You're on the big one.
Speaker 8: Hey, Mike, Thanks for taking my call, and I really
Speaker 8: appreciate you holding that torture freedom behind the bright every day,
Speaker 8: my friend, because it's dark outside.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Bobby.
Speaker 2: What can I do for you?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: What you got?
Speaker 5: Well, I tell you.
Speaker 8: I think we're all in the midst of a cultural revolution.
Speaker 8: When you have eighty eight counties in the state of Ohio,
Speaker 8: and eight of the counties are run completely by Democrats.
Speaker 8: All your major cities, you've got Democrat mayors, Democrat city councils.
Speaker 8: It's not gonna change no city of Cincinnati, I guarantee.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, we're gonna get.
Speaker 8: The same individuals in there.
Speaker 6: There's nothing but a bunch of grifters.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and the.
Speaker 8: Only way it's going to change is when they get
Speaker 8: elected in this November is to starve them out. Cincinnati
Speaker 8: is surrounded by nothing but conservative counties. Conservative individuals don't
Speaker 8: spend a penny within the city. And it's a Cincinnati.
Speaker 8: And I know that's unfortunate for a lot of the
Speaker 8: businesses and stuff that Cincinnati, but look around him. It's
Speaker 8: the most dangerous city per capita in the top five
Speaker 8: of the nation.
Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1: But Bobby you don't know it crimes down in Cincinnati, man,
Speaker 1: don't you know?
Speaker 2: Just ask the mayor. It's amazing he bears false witness.
Speaker 1: My brother absolutely Bobby thinks a lot man hold it
Speaker 1: down for me, take care man. Yeah, I mean he's
Speaker 1: exactly right. I mean, look, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's wrong, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But my thing is is when he says starve him out,
Speaker 1: who starves first man? And it's the guys. It's the
Speaker 1: guys that care enough about the city, unlike Aftam pure
Speaker 1: Vaul to put his money where his mouth is, right.
Speaker 2: The poor man that was murdered in.
Speaker 1: His home in the middle of the night, that dared
Speaker 1: to open a gym in a rough part of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just, I just.
Speaker 1: It's sad because I'm all enough to remember, and you know,
Speaker 1: with my folks being attorneys and all that kind of
Speaker 1: crappy and it's intimately involved in what happened after two
Speaker 1: thousand and one. It was heartbreaking. I mean it was heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: You could see the tumbleweed blowing down Fourth Street. I
Speaker 1: mean it was it was bad, and I got a
Speaker 1: feeling we're on our way back there. I hate to
Speaker 1: say it, but but you know, take a look around,
Speaker 1: and I hope to God that Corey Bowman can win
Speaker 1: the mayor's office. I hope that God, and I think
Speaker 1: you can do it, that Chris Smitherman gets back on
Speaker 1: city council because at some point, you know, sanity has
Speaker 1: to carry the day. Let's talk to Peter. He wants
Speaker 1: to talk about f tabing his zero accomplishments. Hey Peter,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 2: Buddy?
Speaker 9: Hey buddy, how are you doing?
Speaker 6: Pete?
Speaker 9: So, yeah, Democrats are are long on excuses and obvious
Speaker 9: station of their responsibility, and when they're ever called to account,
Speaker 9: like with the with the beatings and stuff downtown, they
Speaker 9: have excuses. They and it's everywhere. It's unfortunately not just
Speaker 9: in Cincinnati, but it is a screaming uh ring ringing
Speaker 9: of the bell of the dangers of electing Democrats. And
Speaker 9: the one thing that they're good at, and I wanted
Speaker 9: to say, is that lying and manipulation of people that
Speaker 9: are soft minded and that don't try to find the
Speaker 9: other side of the of any situation. And we need
Speaker 9: we need a new mayor. Conservativeism is rampant. It's coming back.
Speaker 9: So let's not uh uh keep our heads down. Let's
Speaker 9: keep our heads up and be positive and ride the
Speaker 9: wave of righteous uh just doing the right thing and
Speaker 9: not lying.
Speaker 1: And that's what I got a stranger brother. No, I
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the blackpill on this, and what I
Speaker 1: mean by that is and Matt ken Rick, please please
Speaker 1: stay on, guys, because this is a really important conversation.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking the black pill, and the reason being
Speaker 1: is this. I refuse to just accept that, you know,
Speaker 1: the the same city council and the same mayor is
Speaker 1: going to be elected without trying. I don't even live
Speaker 1: in the city anymore, and it means that much to me,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: I just I just refuse to give up.
Speaker 1: And I do think that it's possible, because you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of folks in the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: that were voting blocks that we're going to have to
Speaker 1: have pure of all Democrats that are the victims of
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And I hope to God that
Speaker 1: logic and reason will will win the day here and
Speaker 1: we will send this clown and his buddies packing packing. Anyway,

Speaker 6: Uh.

Speaker 7: to get back surgery riding my bike down that street,
Speaker 7: just kidding, it's just filled with It's a beautiful street.
Speaker 7: Maybe they never they never shovel it, they never do anything.
Speaker 1: With always, even as a kid, we knew it was
Speaker 1: always the last to get the snowplows, you know.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, and and other and even more so than that,
Speaker 7: where is uh if we have any more downtown other
Speaker 7: than Procter and Gamble Western Southern people like that? Can't
Speaker 7: business leaders put pressure on this idiot of a mayor
Speaker 7: that we have? Because have you driven on Sixth Street
Speaker 7: where you know, between Procter and Gambles corporate offices.
Speaker 2: The beautiful parking garage, absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's just you know, I mean, and
Speaker 10: I don't know, Procter and Gamble, they bring executives in
Speaker 10: or people, customers, whatever.
Speaker 7: And I used to call down there for years and
Speaker 7: Sixth Street by the Red Squirrel and all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Rick, between that side of downtown and
Speaker 1: the other in the courthouse side, so to speak.
Speaker 2: I got you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And so I was just wondering, business leaders, where
Speaker 7: are they putting pressure on this mayor or forgive me
Speaker 7: as p and G that woke as well, or what's
Speaker 7: going on?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Rick, thanks a lot for the call, man, I appreciate it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I've seen I know for a fact. And you know,
Speaker 1: God loved that family. Britney Ruby Miller, the daughter of
Speaker 1: Jeff Ruby. She's you know, running his operation now, as
Speaker 1: you know I kind of did with mild Man in
Speaker 1: his law practice. But she got a lot of business owners,
Speaker 1: especially downtown rest roans, after that insanity after the jazz festival,
Speaker 1: to come out and beg and just say hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: you know I don't She didn't come out and say
Speaker 1: don't vote for AFTE pure of all, but it was
Speaker 1: a response from all the business owners down there, especially
Speaker 1: restaurants and bars, saying this ain't working. Guys like this
Speaker 1: is this is just not working, you know. And as
Speaker 1: far as those guys go through the big corporations, I
Speaker 1: think that they may be a little bit afraid because, uh,
Speaker 1: if you come at the King, you best not miss
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, those businesses may be regulated
Speaker 1: via city council.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We got maybe two and a half minutes. Let's talk
Speaker 1: to Ken and Mason. Hey, Ken, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Buddy? You're on the big one.
Speaker 11: Not much. Mike, how are you tonight?
Speaker 2: And I'm doing great? Bud?
Speaker 11: Pat go elder baby, Yeah, kicking this year, sir?
Speaker 5: You go.
Speaker 11: You know, Mike, when when you hire you know, thieves,
Speaker 11: You know, I can't understand why we're surprised when they
Speaker 11: still we get council people go to jail for stealing,
Speaker 11: taking bribes. You know. We elected two council people that
Speaker 11: didn't even have jobs, right, they were unemployed and elected
Speaker 11: the city council because they just had a D by
Speaker 11: their name. You know, this situation you had the one
Speaker 11: caller before. I don't know that Mike, how he gets
Speaker 11: cleared up. As long as the voting base remains the same,
Speaker 11: most of these people are just voting. All they're doing
Speaker 11: is looking.
Speaker 5: For a d R.
Speaker 11: Right, it doesn't matter you get rent ten ten running,
Speaker 11: they would vote the men.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, we live in Mason, Mike, Now
Speaker 11: we don't my family. I don't allow anybody to go
Speaker 11: downtown anymore. This past week you had two people shot
Speaker 11: in Fountain Square.
Speaker 2: It's amazing in the middle of.
Speaker 11: Mountain Square at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 2: Right, but the city is safe, Ken, crime is down.
Speaker 11: Well, it's all lies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's one of those things where if
Speaker 1: it becomes true, which liberals love to.
Speaker 11: Do, it's the Solilensky Yeah, you know, theories to a max.
Speaker 11: I mean, first of all, they weaponize lying. They lie constantly,
Speaker 11: they never tell the truth, they never take the blame.
Speaker 11: And you know, we wonder where all this money's going, Mike,
Speaker 11: We all know it's going in their pockets.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, like this lady you're explaining with what
Speaker 11: she's paying her son, that's insane. I mean, this lady
Speaker 11: should be in jail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's something that's that's Ken. Sorry to cut
Speaker 1: you off, man, work up against but don't be a stranger.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is public interest in a private contract, or
Speaker 1: excuse me, private is a public contract? That that is
Speaker 1: without question a criminal offense. And we saw Tracy Hunter
Speaker 1: charge with him for doing it with her brother. Why
Speaker 1: is this not happening with Iris Rawley? You guys can
Speaker 1: h take take a whack at that one. Anyway, we're
Speaker 1: up against the break coming up at eight o'clock. More
Speaker 1: of your calls, y'all. This is a this has been
Speaker 1: a productive conversation. Also, if you don't call in, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Israel peace Plan. Mike Jor on
Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW, Bengals coverage over twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by topital One. They we're
Speaker 1: back News Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Russell Memories. Still trying to force me to say Sunday.
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's been a long show, folks.
Speaker 1: We're gonna transition here into some I guess some national
Speaker 1: political stuff, and then at eight thirty we're going to
Speaker 1: be talking to our home boy up in Cleveland, Sean
Speaker 1: Porter about the MLB playoffs, Big Games Tonight. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be talking to him about what all happened today in
Speaker 1: college football, the curious case of Arch Manning.
Speaker 2: You know, is he?
Speaker 1: I didn't get to watch all of it, but apparently
Speaker 1: Texas beat Oklahoma today. They went from number one in
Speaker 1: the country to totally ranked. Just the phenomena of Arch Manning.
Speaker 1: Is he again in the nil era, the transfer portal era,
Speaker 1: the new college football that we're all trying to get
Speaker 1: used to.
Speaker 2: Is he a bust? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Apparently he beat Oklahoma today, So if he has Texas fans,
Speaker 1: they're probably not that pissed off at him anymore. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Buckeyes get the win today, Bearcats get the win today.
Speaker 1: Bengals take on the Packers tomorrow at four twenty five
Speaker 1: from Lambeau. Also going to talk to Sean about the
Speaker 1: Bengals acquiring Joe Flacco, former quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens,
Speaker 1: former Super Bowl winner play played for the Browns. Had
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee in Cleveland. Gotta be honest when
Speaker 1: you have the worst line, arguably the worst offensive line
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you bring in a forty year
Speaker 1: old Joe Flacco, who at twenty three years old, had
Speaker 1: a tough time moving. I don't think that's going to
Speaker 1: bode well, but we'll talk to Sean about that. He's
Speaker 1: got some good perspective on it, as he is a
Speaker 1: Browns fan. I would be remiss if I had three
Speaker 1: hours on the air and I didn't talk about this.
Speaker 1: The incredible and quite literally unbelievable news out of the
Speaker 1: Middle East that Israel and Jamas have agreed to a ceasefire,
Speaker 1: not only a ceasefire, but have agreed to a peace
Speaker 1: plan that the Trump administration has put forward. I am
Speaker 1: absolutely elated over this. I am shocked over this, but
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be, because this dude just weals his way.
Speaker 2: Forward on stuff.
Speaker 1: And what's unreal has been the reaction of the media
Speaker 1: and some of the Democrats will play some of those,
Speaker 1: but they're pretty pretty shocking. Everything about this is shocking.
Speaker 1: But on October ninth, a couple of days ago, Israel's
Speaker 1: cabinet formally approved plans for a ceasefire with Hamas, setting
Speaker 1: the Gaza peace process in motion. Donald Trump announced that
Speaker 1: it constitutes the first phase of his twenty one point
Speaker 1: peace plan. The warring sides have tried to uphold a
Speaker 1: ceasefire once in November at twenty three and again in
Speaker 1: March of twenty five. Both of those times efforts collapsed.
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to get my hopes up here, folks,
Speaker 1: but there has been broad international support, whether it be
Speaker 1: from the Arab world, Europe, the United States, and Israel itself.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of optimism here. So first and foremost,
Speaker 1: they've agreed to a ceasefire. This went into effect on Friday,
Speaker 1: and we're already seeing Palestinians returning in droves to Gaza. Also,
Speaker 1: there's a military draw down. The IDF has agreed to
Speaker 1: withdraw their troops up to a line that leaves it
Speaker 1: in control of a little bit more than half of Gaza,
Speaker 1: and incrementally that's going to go down. So as each
Speaker 1: sort of phase goes into step, the Israeli Defense Force
Speaker 1: or IDF is going to start backing out a little
Speaker 1: bit more. Also, and this is the this is the
Speaker 1: very very important part, and this is the part where
Speaker 1: Hamas loses all leverage, and that is a hostage and
Speaker 1: prisoner release that's supposed to begin on Monday. With the
Speaker 1: IDF's withdrawal complete. There's a seventy two hour window for
Speaker 1: Hamas to return. The remaining hostages taken on October seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty are still believed to be alive. Another twenty eight
Speaker 1: are dead. Of the two hundred and fifty one hostages,
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty seven have been released in prior deals.
Speaker 1: But this, this next phase, should be every single hostage
Speaker 1: that's still alive is to be released. And Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has made it pretty clear, God help Hamas if they
Speaker 1: back out of this deal, because there's just no other
Speaker 1: way of putting it, every single one of them will die.
Speaker 1: In return, Israel will released two hundred and fifty Palestinian
Speaker 1: prisoners serving life sentences. The good news is, though, is
Speaker 1: in this list of officials that was published by the IDF,
Speaker 1: not one of them includes the top Hamas political leaders,
Speaker 1: So we are not giving away terrorists like the Obama
Speaker 1: administration did.
Speaker 2: Also, there's going to be a lot of aid delivery.
Speaker 1: Gaza has or excuse me, Hamas has given their word
Speaker 1: that they're not going to interfere as they have before
Speaker 1: in getting aid to the people of Gaza. I am
Speaker 1: of the opinion because it's fact that anybody who is
Speaker 1: malnourished and starving in Gaza has Hamas to blame for this.
Speaker 1: They have hijacked international aid from jump and kept it
Speaker 1: for themselves because they are an evil terrorist group. Also,
Speaker 1: the Rafa crossing with Egypt, finally, this is something I've
Speaker 1: been screaming for two years, has finally been opened for
Speaker 1: aid delivery rather than doing it all via the ocean.
Speaker 1: European officials have confirmed that the Rougha crossing is going
Speaker 1: to be open. The United States is also sending two
Speaker 1: hundred troops to Israel, not Gaza, to Israel to oversee
Speaker 1: all of this, So we're not going to have boots
Speaker 1: on the ground getting shot at God Willing. Trucks carrying food,
Speaker 1: medical equipment, shelter and other equipment, as well as fuel
Speaker 1: to operate essential systems, including cooking gas, are set to
Speaker 1: enter in the coming days, an Israeli official told CBS.
Speaker 1: So what happens next remains to be seen. It's all
Speaker 1: semi vague and kind of all over the place. But
Speaker 1: apparently there's going to be some sort of governing board
Speaker 1: put together wherein the Palestinian Authority is going to have
Speaker 1: some role. If you've recalled, the Palestinian Authority sort of
Speaker 1: runs the western part of that area, giving them any
Speaker 1: control is a little scary to me, but whatever. But essentially,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a twenty one point piece plan that's
Speaker 1: going to encompass all sorts of ranges of efforts. But
Speaker 1: there's gonna be something called an International Stabilization Force, which
Speaker 1: is going to consist of Palestinian police forces, other Arab countries,
Speaker 1: thank God, and the IDF and Americans to all sort
Speaker 1: of come together so that way we'll have it won't
Speaker 1: be you know, Israelis and Americans policing Gaza, It'll be
Speaker 1: other Arab countries for the first time. And frankly, I
Speaker 1: don't think this could have happened without Donald Trump, Jared Kushner,
Speaker 1: and Steve Wikoff. In the Abraham Accords, we now have
Speaker 1: Arabs working with Israel, which is something that I thought
Speaker 1: would be a it would be a very cold day
Speaker 1: in hell before that happened. But here we are also demilitarization.
Speaker 1: All military, terror and offensive infrastructure is going to be destroyed.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of investment and economic reform.
Speaker 2: It just a lot.
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is is this is that come Monday,
Speaker 1: all of the leverage that hamas held, which is the hostages,
Speaker 1: is now gone, and we could possibly say that, in
Speaker 1: the words of Winston Churchill, this isn't maybe the beginning
Speaker 1: of the end, but the end of the beginning. The
Speaker 1: piece a lot of times is harder to win than
Speaker 1: the war. But there's a lot of folks out there
Speaker 1: that are saying that Donald Trump is just bending the
Speaker 1: knee to the evil Jews, specifically net Yahoo. Just stop
Speaker 1: you guys, don't know what the hell you're talking about,
Speaker 1: and you're embarrassing yourself. Donald Trump has told both sides,
Speaker 1: including Bibi net Yahoo, to knock the bs off when
Speaker 1: net Yahoo decided to carry out air strikes and Qatar
Speaker 1: against what he called Hama hideouts without letting the Kataris
Speaker 1: know any of this. Donald Trump literally forced Benjamin net
Speaker 1: Yahoo to call this Arab country Qatar and apologize. So
Speaker 1: this whole you know, Benjamin net Nyaho owns Trump is
Speaker 1: just an anti Semitic meme. There is literally no truth
Speaker 1: to it. He has there's been these are leaks, but
Speaker 1: I have no reason to not believe him. He is
Speaker 1: cussed out net Nyahu a few times from what we hear,
Speaker 1: and the question remains, though, is how the hell did
Speaker 1: Donald Trump pull this off? When Joe Biden could not
Speaker 1: and I hate to say this, folks, it's not complicated,
Speaker 1: it's really basic. And the main reason. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons, but the main reason is the most important one.
Speaker 1: He refused to engage in the both sides moral equivalency
Speaker 1: that has been a trademark of the liberal mind and
Speaker 1: the far right nationalist or excuse me, the far right
Speaker 1: extremist mind for decades, which is that you know that
Speaker 1: the Palestinians and Hamas are morally equivalent to Israel, which
Speaker 1: is just complete and utter ds. Trump actually says the
Speaker 1: obvious part out loud, which is that Hamas is an
Speaker 1: evil terrorist group that murders women and children wholesale. He
Speaker 1: totally rejected the moral equivalency that, again many on the
Speaker 1: far left and the far right have adopted. Like it's
Speaker 1: literally quite simple. So we can try this at home.
Speaker 1: Say it out loud with me now if you need practice.
Speaker 1: Hamas is a radical Islamic terrorist organization. Okay, Now the
Speaker 1: next part Israel is a rational, democratic actor in a
Speaker 1: sea of Islamic terrorist states. So one more time for
Speaker 1: the especially stupid people out there, Hamas is a radical
Speaker 1: Islamic terrorist group. And Israel is not Israel invaded or
Speaker 1: excuse me, Hamas invaded Israel on October seventh, raped and
Speaker 1: murdered israelis has kept hostages for over two years and
Speaker 1: has starved its own people. There quite literally, is no
Speaker 1: moral equivalency here. None, So the ignorant anti Semites on
Speaker 1: both sides of the Aisle out there, you should do
Speaker 1: some reading, do some research. Every single war, and I
Speaker 1: mean this, every single war between any Arab country and
Speaker 1: Israel is one thousand percent started by the other actor,
Speaker 1: not Israel. Every single ceasefire, and I mean this quite literally,
Speaker 1: every single ceasefire that Israel has inked with any Arab
Speaker 1: country since the nineteen seventies has been violated by Arab states,
Speaker 1: not Israel, every single one of them. Now, although he
Speaker 1: didn't engage in the both sides ism moral equivalent see propaganda,
Speaker 1: he held both sides to the same standards. There's a
Speaker 1: very big difference. So when Israel, specifically Netnahu, decided to
Speaker 1: ignore him, when he told him to knock it off
Speaker 1: and decided to carry out airstrikes and Katar, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: went ballistic on Benjamin Netnahu, ballistic, screamed at him, publicly
Speaker 1: shamed him, publicly threatened him, and actually forced him to
Speaker 1: call the Kataris and apologize. And by refusing to play
Speaker 1: the moral equivalency game while at the same time holding
Speaker 1: both sides to the same standards, he was able to
Speaker 1: draw clear lines Hamas is evil and any Arab states
Speaker 1: who help Hamas are now cut off from the United States.
Speaker 1: He was able to make an offer to us that
Speaker 1: they quite literally cannot refuse. Give up the hostages or die,
Speaker 1: period full stop. Give them up, or I will blow
Speaker 1: you up. And now Iran, the other great backer of
Speaker 1: the Huthis and Hesblah and all these other groups that
Speaker 1: want to wipe Israel the face of the earth, the
Speaker 1: same Iran that after October seventh, we're attempting and in
Speaker 1: many cases succeeding at barraging Tel Aviv with surface to
Speaker 1: air missiles on a nightly basis. That threat has been
Speaker 1: totally neutralized because their nuclear program, in a unbelievable, unbelievable
Speaker 1: collaboration between the United States Air Force and the Israeli
Speaker 1: Air Force absolutely destroyed and or set back decades Iran's
Speaker 1: nuclear program. So now Arab countries are backing Israel. The
Speaker 1: Iranian threat is neutralized, the Arab threats neutralized. Because it's
Speaker 1: just they've made a deal. Somebody please name a president
Speaker 1: or a world leader that was able to do this
Speaker 1: or could have been able to do this. Like we
Speaker 1: are on the cusp of real peace in the Middle
Speaker 1: East for the first time since nineteen forty eight. And
Speaker 1: I thought we'd have some time for clips, but we
Speaker 1: don't because I'm rambling. But the reaction from the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: I like I said, it is even more shocking that
Speaker 1: the deal was made, Like the reaction from the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: Martha Raddits going on a one and a half minute
Speaker 1: rant giving Donald Trump credit for this.
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: Crawled out of her crypt like you can hear the
Speaker 1: door crack and open. Her skeletal hand comes out, her
Speaker 1: skin that hasn't seen the light of day, and since
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, comes out to give Donald Trump credit. That
Speaker 1: should tell you something, folks, that what this guy did
Speaker 1: was objectively a wonderful thing for the people of the world.
Speaker 1: And my hope is that those out there suffering with
Speaker 1: TDS can look to people like Hillary Clinton and Martha
Speaker 1: Raddits and the folks on CNN and God knows, even
Speaker 1: the New York Times. You could look to them as
Speaker 1: an example that sometimes sometimes this orange hitler can do
Speaker 1: good things. You still don't have to like him, but
Speaker 1: can you at least admit, because people with TDS Trump
Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome can never admit if he has done a
Speaker 1: good job with something. I really really hope that this
Speaker 1: maybe is like we're starting to see the light at
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel of these mentally unhinged people
Speaker 1: that the minute they hear his name, all logic and
Speaker 1: reason and objectivity just fly out the window. Anyway, that's
Speaker 1: enough politics for tonight, folks. Coming up at eight thirty,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talking to our home boy up in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: Sean Porter college football, Major League Baseball playoffs, whether or
Speaker 1: not our spanning is a bust, Joe flock out of
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and everything else under the sun. Mike Allen
Speaker 1: Junior on news Radio seven hundred WLW. Hey, we're back,
Speaker 1: just Radio seven hundred WLW. Mike Allen Junior, Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Saturday night. That's twice twice. Not a lot
Speaker 1: of folks starting to run on fumes. Coffee is running out,
Speaker 1: but we are round and third and headed for home.
Speaker 1: Something I've been kind of talking about today, just sort
Speaker 1: of in and out of the breaks, is the curious
Speaker 1: case of Arch Manning. He is the son of Cooper Manning,
Speaker 1: who is the son of the original Archie Manning. He
Speaker 1: is the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning of NFL fame,
Speaker 1: and just sort of the hullabaloo that came with him,
Speaker 1: and using Arch Manning as an example of what may
Speaker 1: be to come in this nil driven transfer portal new
Speaker 1: world of college football that we're living in. And I
Speaker 1: was talking about how we firing up the DeLorean earlier
Speaker 1: and going back in time, So.
Speaker 2: Going back to time. I looked this up.
Speaker 1: In May twenty nineteen, USA Today did a short news
Speaker 1: story on a middle schooler named Arch Manning. You heard
Speaker 1: that right, in middle schoolers exploints in a spring scrimmage
Speaker 1: in a peewee foot and it read Arch through for
Speaker 1: three touchdowns while displaying accuracy, arm strength, and even mobility
Speaker 1: on a middle schooler. On a middle schooler, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm from the West side of Cincinnati. I went to
Speaker 1: Elder like one of the biggest high school football schools
Speaker 1: in the country. We're not over there talking about middle schoolers.
Speaker 1: And a few years later, when arch Manning was going
Speaker 1: into his final season of high school football, he was
Speaker 1: the consensus number one recruit in the country. This guy,
Speaker 1: if you ever anybody who knows anything about recruiting, there's
Speaker 1: a website called rivals dot com and they measure all
Speaker 1: of the top recruits in college football. And this guy
Speaker 1: named Mike Farrell, who was writing for Rivals, took a
Speaker 1: lot of crap because he said arch Manning is not
Speaker 1: what everybody thinks.
Speaker 2: And this is a quote for him quote.
Speaker 1: When he was very young in his high school career,
Speaker 1: he had size and more athleticism than Peyton or Eli.
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be great. Then junior year,
Speaker 1: the progression wasn't what I expected, and he just never
Speaker 1: got better. Now, weeks before the start of the twenty
Speaker 1: two season, Farrell actually listed him as a three star recruit.
Speaker 1: And man, he got absolutely lit up, absolutely lit up.
Speaker 1: And let's let's remind each other, you know, of what
Speaker 1: we were looking at. At the beginning of this year. Arch
Speaker 1: Manning was already without playing much football. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: he did some mop up duty last year, was being
Speaker 1: hailed as the actual Heisman candidate this year and could
Speaker 1: be a first round draft pick up until today against Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Through five games, he completed sixty percent of his throws
Speaker 1: for fifteen hundred yards. Well, excuse me, one and fifty
Speaker 1: one yards, eleven touchdowns, five picks. However, Texas went from
Speaker 1: the preseason number one, which I gotta be honest with you,
Speaker 1: that was a joke that Texas had no business being
Speaker 1: number one. And that's not me just being an a
Speaker 1: live state fan. I was floored that Texas was number one.
Speaker 1: Now today, granted, I think Texas fans may not be
Speaker 1: as upset with him. He Texas took over and beat
Speaker 1: Oklahoma today. But let's look at arch Manning's numbers. Twenty
Speaker 1: one to twenty seven for one hundred and sixty six yards.
Speaker 1: He put on the go ahead twelve yard touchdown at
Speaker 1: DeAndre Moore. But is twenty one of twenty seven for
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty six yards? Does that say, you know,
Speaker 1: preseason Heisman candidate. Does that say a guy who's gonna
Speaker 1: quote unquote change football forever? I don't think so here
Speaker 1: to talk to us about. That is my good friend,
Speaker 1: your good friend, and our Homie up there on the
Speaker 1: mistake on the Lake Sean Porter, Sean, what's happening my friend?
Speaker 5: Hey, Mike, how's are going? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 1: Hey, it's going, man. You heard me talking about it
Speaker 1: in the beginning. You and I talked about it when
Speaker 1: Ohio State took on Texas is I guess my first
Speaker 1: question is, is arch Manning a bust? Are we now
Speaker 1: going to be starting in the new age of the nil?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna start labeling high school recruits busts now
Speaker 1: that they've gotten into college football?
Speaker 2: What do you say?
Speaker 5: Uh? Yeah, I mean, Mike, honestly, I mean when it
Speaker 5: comes to arch Manning, I mean I agree with everything
Speaker 5: you said. Like, I mean, they were ranked number one
Speaker 5: in the Begame the year and that was crazy. I
Speaker 5: thought too, because you know, I don't know how to
Speaker 5: stay fan too, as you know, and like we're defending champions,
Speaker 5: we should have the number one, I thought at the
Speaker 5: very least. But yeah, like, I mean, his numbers haven't
Speaker 5: been that great. He just kind of like was kind
Speaker 5: of praised a lot, I think because of his family,
Speaker 5: you know, his background. I mean it's like he's got
Speaker 5: the Jeens, like, you know, eleven touchdowns, five picks. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's like he just sounds like an okay quarterback, Like
Speaker 5: he kind of sounds like just very average, you know.
Speaker 5: And I feel like Texas, you know, today they just
Speaker 5: got a you know, a seventy five yard punt. Rich
Speaker 5: he got a lot of help today for his defense.
Speaker 5: You know. Yeah, he threw the go ahead touchdown, and
Speaker 5: I'll give him credit for that. But I mean, you're right, Mike,
Speaker 5: I don't know, like I feel like, yeah, he went
Speaker 5: from being like a number one pick like candidate to
Speaker 5: like he should probably be in college for three or
Speaker 5: four years, you know what I mean, Like if he
Speaker 5: wants to be good, he should develop, you know. But
Speaker 5: it's crazy to turn around like, yeah, I mean, Texas
Speaker 5: had a big win today, but I mean it wasn't
Speaker 5: all due to ours, Maanning.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I guess is this something we should get
Speaker 1: used to, Sean, because I mean, I'm showing my age
Speaker 1: here and you may remember this. The last time I
Speaker 1: saw a recruit coming out of high school with this
Speaker 1: much hype was Terrell Prior. I mean, and that was
Speaker 1: like two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: I mean, is this something that is going to become
Speaker 1: a phenomenon college football where we're labeling you know, college
Speaker 1: kids busts before they even you know, get to the
Speaker 1: NFL so to speak.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, you know, with the with the media and
Speaker 5: the social media out there, you know, all the videos
Speaker 5: that could go out of you know players, you know,
Speaker 5: developing and training and you know, all their games and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I definitely think it's getting to that point. And you
Speaker 5: know with d NIL obviously, with you know, athletes having
Speaker 5: their student athletes having the ability to being paid now,
Speaker 5: you know, for their likeness, as a Supreme Court ruled,
Speaker 5: you know. I yeah, I definitely think it's getting to
Speaker 5: that point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just a part of me feels bad
Speaker 1: for the guy because, you know, I know, something a
Speaker 1: little bit about having the same name as somebody that's
Speaker 1: kind of made a name for themselves. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, and it's it's something that you
Speaker 1: just sort of deal with. But but I gotta be
Speaker 1: honest with you, man, I feel bad for the guy.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he asked for this, but what
Speaker 1: I what I have seen him do and what I
Speaker 1: saw the little bit I saw today, this guy is
Speaker 1: not what the national media put him out to be.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm digressing here.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: We got all kinds of stuff going on in sports. Man,
Speaker 1: we got obviously arch Manning. We're starting to figure out
Speaker 1: who's who in college football. Now there's some really those
Speaker 1: games today. I know, Alabama one. Who who do you
Speaker 1: see in the college football Playoff? Anybody surprise you? And
Speaker 1: who do you think ends up winning the whole thing
Speaker 1: this year?
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, Mike, like a team that really surprises
Speaker 5: me is the University of Miami. Like, yeah, they've never
Speaker 5: been to the College Football Playoff, you know, and that's
Speaker 5: a really high tier school with like a lot of
Speaker 5: NFL players have come from what they call it the
Speaker 5: you right, yeah, you know. Yeah, So they're very surprising
Speaker 5: because I mean Carson Beck, you know, he won two
Speaker 5: titles with Georgia, and I mean he's a good college quarterback.
Speaker 5: He's one of those like he's like Chris Winki.
Speaker 2: You remember him, Oh yeah, he had in college.
Speaker 11: For eight years?
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: But yeah, the Miami. I think Miami has like a
Speaker 5: really high possibility of making it. I honestly, I mean
Speaker 5: I know it sounds biased, Mike, but like the way
Speaker 5: Ohio States playing this year, I feel like they have
Speaker 5: like a really good shot of defending their national championship.
Speaker 5: I mean, especially today was Yeah, today was I mean,
Speaker 5: thirty four sixteen doesn't sound like a blowout, but honestly,
Speaker 5: wasn't very close. I mean, they got a couple of
Speaker 5: touchdowns towards the end that you know, I feel like,
Speaker 5: I mean, this should kind of garbage time, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. It's just but the Ohio State defense
Speaker 5: is so dominant, and honestly, you know, justin saying, you know,
Speaker 5: I love I think he makes good decisions. I think
Speaker 5: Jeremiah Smith is an amazing wide receiver. You know, Carnell
Speaker 5: Tate is another. They're both going to be the NFL.
Speaker 5: You know, we produce NFL wide receivers, you know. And
Speaker 5: that's the bias to me right there. But yeah, but
Speaker 5: I think Miami has a great shot of but Alabama
Speaker 5: teams like that. I just feel like Alabama just is
Speaker 5: always ranked really high and they really shouldn't be there,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. I just I don't really
Speaker 5: see the hype there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I got to be honest, and you and
Speaker 1: I have talked about this a thousand times over. Is
Speaker 1: the SEC is not the premier conference in college football anymore?
Speaker 1: You know, No, it's the Big Ten is the premier
Speaker 1: conference now. I think keep speaking of the Big Ten though,
Speaker 1: And I know I'm bouncing around here. Sean State is
Speaker 1: having a big, big problem winning big games.
Speaker 2: I saw some I saw some numbers.
Speaker 1: Obviously, Ohio State owns James Franklin, Penn State head coach.
Speaker 2: He's not.
Speaker 1: I think he's only won one top five game or
Speaker 1: one Top ten game. Penn State is always always, it
Speaker 1: feels like a quarterback away from putting it all together.
Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. We just saw
Speaker 1: today that that Penn State was upset by Northwestern. Does
Speaker 1: James Franklin have a job at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: Does James Franklin have a job at the end of
Speaker 1: the week, And will James Franklin have a job at
Speaker 1: the end of the season.
Speaker 5: Honestly, Mike, I feel like I mean, and I think
Speaker 5: I message you that true. Allard jan quarterback's also out
Speaker 5: for the season. Yeah, he has a season ending injury.
Speaker 5: He didn't even say what it was. It just said
Speaker 5: it was season end ending. But yeah, James Franklin, like
Speaker 5: he's kind of on the last ropes, like and I mean,
Speaker 5: I you know, I feel like she's had some like moments,
Speaker 5: but you're right, Like he doesn't really be anybody in
Speaker 5: the top five. He always lose your higher stating. He
Speaker 5: talks to live smatch for a lot o higher State
Speaker 5: for being like for like losing to them. That never
Speaker 5: made sense to me. It was like, dude, you never win.
Speaker 2: Though, Like right, you know, but go ahead, Sorry Sean,
Speaker 2: but it's okay.
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, I think, but yeah, I think honestly, Mike,
Speaker 5: I don't know if he gets fired like today or tomorrow,
Speaker 5: but like because I feel like Penn State's more of
Speaker 5: a school that like will wait till the end of
Speaker 5: the year to do anything. Yeah, but I don't think
Speaker 5: he's gonna last like past the end of the year
Speaker 5: unless like Penn State wins like the rest of their games. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and and like wins the bowl game or whatever bowl
Speaker 5: they're in. Like, I feel like he have to really
Speaker 5: make up for this because this is a bad loss
Speaker 5: sight to Northwestern. You know, they're a traditional Big Ten school,
Speaker 5: but as you know, like they are not good at
Speaker 5: football and really not a big sports school. They're more
Speaker 5: like duralism and stuff.
Speaker 1: Like that, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta be honest,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard for me to see, you know, James
Speaker 1: Franklin surviving this season, and there's a lot to be
Speaker 1: said about him. Man, he really, I mean he when
Speaker 1: he took that job, Penn State was not in a
Speaker 1: good place. I mean when he took that job, Penn
Speaker 1: State was up against the ropes man. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess kudos for him for that. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: becoming a a trend, so to speak, seeing Penn State
Speaker 1: lose to too Frankly. I mean, this is the second
Speaker 1: week in a row they've lost to an unranked team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, uhila, I mean they were zer to four. I
Speaker 5: mean that's crazy. Actually, I actually saw it on TV.
Speaker 5: I actually just like saw that was on CBS. I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, let me watch this, and I was
Speaker 5: surprised when I said it on the winning I was like.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, yeah, it was something else a lot, yeah,
Speaker 1: by a lot. It's pretty bad. But my next question
Speaker 1: is this, and we'll get some Major League Baseball playoffs.
Speaker 1: I promise you're somebody who lives in Cleveland, you've you've
Speaker 1: I had the unfortunate opportunity of watching the Browns for
Speaker 1: a really long time. The Bengals. Yeah, the Bengals have
Speaker 1: said Sinara essentially to Jake Browning. The knock on him
Speaker 1: was the picks. He was throwing a lot of interceptions.
Speaker 1: He was missing open guy. He was not connecting with
Speaker 1: Jamar Chasin T Higgins. So the Bengals, you know, and
Speaker 1: everybody here in Cincinnati is screaming for Jamis Winston, screaming
Speaker 1: for him because it feels like that guy's energy just
Speaker 1: matches the Bengals, it matches the city. You know, you
Speaker 1: got to see Jameis Winston do some pretty cool things
Speaker 1: for the Browns. My logic when it comes to Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco is Okay, he's he's upright, he's not injured, he's
Speaker 1: still got a cannon. But he may be one of
Speaker 1: these slowest quarterbacks in the NFL and you put someone
Speaker 1: like him behind one of the worst offensive lines in
Speaker 1: the NFL. I just I gotta be honest, I don't
Speaker 1: think this ends well. What do you say, Mike.
Speaker 5: I was shocked when they made that trade because I
Speaker 5: was hearing that they were looking at like Yo, Russell Wilson,
Speaker 5: you know, like, yeah, mobile guys even like Winston or
Speaker 5: like I guess they never contact the Giants, but like
Speaker 5: I was thinking that they were going to do that,
Speaker 5: but then when I saw they traded for Flacco, I
Speaker 5: was kind of like the thing with Flaco here is
Speaker 5: that you know, we lovely hopefully he did two years
Speaker 5: ago and like you know, led the team in the
Speaker 5: playoffs and was great. He was really good. He had
Speaker 5: a great connection with Amari Cooper you know and everything,
Speaker 5: but you know, yeah, like his lack of mobility in
Speaker 5: the pocket, and we don't have a good offensive line
Speaker 5: up here either, we really don't. I know, yours is
Speaker 5: like worse, but ours is not very good either, and
Speaker 5: so if you know, when the pocket collapses with him,
Speaker 5: he can't get out, And like that's the thing. That's
Speaker 5: what I'm really surprised that didn't try and get like
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson or somebody that would be available, because you know,
Speaker 5: the Giants are going to start checks and dark. He's
Speaker 5: going to be the starter for the next five to
Speaker 5: ten whatever years. I feel like he has he has something.
Speaker 2: There, you know, they something Yeah, yeah, and you see
Speaker 2: their head coach. I can't can't remember the guy's name.
Speaker 1: When he's in the tenth DAYL Wilson plays one play,
Speaker 1: throws it into the turf, and this guy's running into
Speaker 1: the the medical tent trying to drag Jackson dark.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh, Brian Devil, Yeah, Brian Devil.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna coach like five years. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Sean, we got a couple of more minutes here, Man,
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Playoffs.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: After the ninth inning and the Reds debacle against against
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, I have just tuned out. What the hell
Speaker 1: is going on in the playoffs? Who's left? Who's going
Speaker 1: to the World Series?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, so last night was a fifteen inning thriller
Speaker 5: between the Tigers and the and the Mariners. The Mariners
Speaker 5: won and they moved on and are going to the
Speaker 5: American League Championship Series for the first time since two
Speaker 5: thousand and one, and they're playing the Blue Jays and
Speaker 5: they're the blue Jays have home fields that they are
Speaker 5: starting that series tomorrow and first like fun fact, Mike, Yeah,
Speaker 5: both teams in the inaugural or first season was in
Speaker 5: nineteen seventy seven. They are the first teams to ever
Speaker 5: play in like a playoff series of any kind of
Speaker 5: MLB history, and I come in in the same season.
Speaker 5: It's you know, starting the league the same year. But
Speaker 5: I think that's really interesting.
Speaker 1: That's one of the beauties of baseball, man is is
Speaker 1: stats like that. And that's exactly why I have you
Speaker 1: on sewn and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Right now, like Milwaukee is playing the Cubs in Game five,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of pulling for Milwaukee. I kind of want Milwaukee.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the score is right now, but
Speaker 5: I kind of want Milwaukee to win. Yeah, because of
Speaker 5: the Cubs being the Indians in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, Well who who do you see
Speaker 1: in the World Series, Sean, I.
Speaker 5: Think it's gonna be Honestly, Mike, I think it's gonna
Speaker 5: be Seattle, and I think it's gonna be Milwaukee. I
Speaker 5: I really, I really think. So, yeah, you think Milwaukee's
Speaker 5: gonna win, and I you think think they're gonna beat
Speaker 5: the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: So you think Milwaukee takes down La Yes, I do.
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 5: I think they have they have good hitting, they have
Speaker 5: solid they have a really good bullpen. I think they
Speaker 5: could do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Sean. That's not in my view, man, that's
Speaker 1: not a hot take. I think, especially if some of
Speaker 1: those games come back to Milwaukee, Man, that that is
Speaker 1: a big ballpark and it may neuter uh, you know,
Speaker 1: shoe Otani and some of the other big bats that
Speaker 1: LA has.
Speaker 5: If you don't notice Mike in the World Series last year,
Speaker 5: so you know, Tani wasn't good and in these playoffs
Speaker 5: he hasn't really been that great. So I'm kind of
Speaker 5: like wondering, like, do the Dodgers carry Otani because they
Speaker 5: don't think Sotani carries the I'm like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And you know, I stuck my freaking foot
Speaker 1: in my mouth the other day, man, a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I said, you know, I think the Reds
Speaker 1: have a chance against LA because for some reason, Otani
Speaker 1: doesn't touch up the Reds that bad. And of course,
Speaker 1: you know, his first at bat in the series, he
Speaker 1: takes one downtown and hits it out of the park.
Speaker 2: So insert foot and.
Speaker 5: Mouth, Right, I think that's the only hit that he's
Speaker 5: had the whole playoffs for twenty one.
Speaker 1: Right, why wouldn't the one hit, you know, come against
Speaker 1: the Reds? But a Jean, we're up against the break man.
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot as usual, brother, Next time I'm on,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll hall, aren't you?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Sean Ticket are yeah, absolutely good buck, guys, Yes on Porter, everybody.
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating. The dude is just a walking sports almanac.
Speaker 1: And of course he comes with that deep track stat
Speaker 1: about the Blue Jays and Mariners of their inaugural season
Speaker 1: being in nineteen seventy seven and the first teams to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why we bring them on.
Speaker 1: Anyway, That's it for me, Folks, stick around for Gary
