Speaker 1: Five O five fifty five KRC BET talk station series
0:13
Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve. Some says, will a vacation?
0:27
Speaker 2: This no ideals?
0:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, neither do I. So maybe I'll just go home
0:31
Speaker 1: at ee Friday E. Ryan Thomas right here and welcoming
0:35
Speaker 1: phone calls as I always do. Five on three, seven, four,
0:37
Speaker 1: nine fifty two to three talk pound five fifty on
0:40
Speaker 1: your AT and T phones. Coming up with the fifty
0:42
Speaker 1: five cars Morns show. Pretty dramatic change from the rundown
0:46
Speaker 1: as recorded in my yesterday post show recordings about what's
0:49
Speaker 1: going on today? Some things are the same, it's some
0:52
Speaker 1: things change, and of course the world's at ever changing place,
0:54
Speaker 1: sadly and really, you know, power of prayer, and I
0:57
Speaker 1: know I heard me the aviation expert Jay Rattler, who
0:59
Speaker 1: will not be joining the program this morning at eight thirty.
1:02
Speaker 1: Always look forward to talking with him one of his as.
1:05
Speaker 1: I understand that I don't know any specific details, but
1:09
Speaker 1: I know that the Ratlift family would greatly appreciate prayers. Apparently,
1:13
Speaker 1: Jay Ratlift's wife's one of her best friends, lost her
1:16
Speaker 1: daughter in a car accident. And I you know, being
1:21
Speaker 1: a parent, it's difficult enough being a parent, give with
1:25
Speaker 1: that phone call that you never want to get. And
1:26
Speaker 1: I just cannot imagine the horror that one goes through
1:31
Speaker 1: and receives a phone call like that about their own child.
1:33
Speaker 1: So if you have an opportunity, you got a moment
1:35
Speaker 1: you can just pause and shoot a prayer that way
1:39
Speaker 1: to her friend's family. And of course the Ratlifts are
1:42
Speaker 1: also experiencing grief and tragedy after that. So no, no
1:45
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, but we get and the timing couldn't have
1:48
Speaker 1: been better on this. Signal ninety nine is going to
1:50
Speaker 1: join the program at eight thirty, the subject of an
1:54
Speaker 1: op ed piece by a guy named Bill weine Weber.
1:57
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine acts more like an attention seeker, a watchdog.
2:02
Speaker 1: Well you know what opinions are like, everybody's got one
2:05
Speaker 1: some interesting comments in there. It's like, wait a second,
2:08
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Bill, Welcome to the Internet. He's just mad
2:15
Speaker 1: because why she blocked him from the site. He used
2:17
Speaker 1: to follow her and now he's not. He doesn't, he
2:21
Speaker 1: doesn't have access to her posts anymore. He was being
2:24
Speaker 1: a what was that word, Joe? Okay, we'll just say
2:28
Speaker 1: SCC non compliant word. I appreciate you filling me on
2:31
Speaker 1: some of the details on that, Joe, aniehow welcome to
2:34
Speaker 1: the Internet. Bill, signal ninety nine, like all people, is
2:42
Speaker 1: entitled to opinions, opinions formed by, you know, folks in
2:44
Speaker 1: the know. The whistleblowers that, yes, Bill are anonymous. It
2:49
Speaker 1: conceals identities behind Alias's memes and inside her leagues. Well,
2:54
Speaker 1: if people work, let's say, within the police department, and
2:57
Speaker 1: they know what's going on and things are not looking
2:59
Speaker 1: good the police department, and some of the information needs
3:02
Speaker 1: to be given to the public, and yet that particular
3:05
Speaker 1: individual with the information is afraid that he or she
3:07
Speaker 1: may lose their job or otherwise be retaliated against for
3:11
Speaker 1: blowing the whistle. There's the reason for anonymity. Now, you could,
3:15
Speaker 1: of course, just ignore it, Joe. Do you pay attention
3:21
Speaker 1: to every single musing from every single quote unquote influencer online?
3:26
Speaker 1: Of course, the answer is no. How could you The
3:30
Speaker 1: fact that signal ninety nine has gained such broad attention
3:32
Speaker 1: and lots of followers, I mean she is God, yeah,
3:36
Speaker 1: the whole page. I don't even a percentage of what
3:41
Speaker 1: signal ninety nine has in terms of followers. Apparently the
3:43
Speaker 1: information is popular so it always strikes me as odd
3:49
Speaker 1: the number of followers any given quote unquote social media
3:53
Speaker 1: influencer have is like, wait a minute, why are you
3:56
Speaker 1: following this person? You know for photographs of the most
4:00
Speaker 1: recent bikini shot? I mean, being a guy. I can
4:03
Speaker 1: certainly understand that to some degree, but no, anyhow, I'm
4:07
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting her comments. That'll be a thirty
4:11
Speaker 1: tail end of the show. In reverse order. Josh Garth's
4:14
Speaker 1: going to join the programming Congratulations again at Josh Garth
4:16
Speaker 1: the new Hamilton County GOP leader, and he is going
4:20
Speaker 1: to focus his efforts on changing the landscape of the
4:22
Speaker 1: judicial situation we've got going on the Hamilton County. Just
4:25
Speaker 1: read a piece from Josh Garth about his being elected
4:28
Speaker 1: as GOP leader in Hamilton County, and I think that's
4:30
Speaker 1: a wise move if you ask me, crime law enforcement
4:34
Speaker 1: generally speaking, which must be enforced, and of course to
4:38
Speaker 1: enforce the law, that means crime needs to be punished.
4:41
Speaker 1: Punishment is the absent thing here in terms of what
4:46
Speaker 1: the societal implications for a criminal justice system. You must
4:49
Speaker 1: have punishment in order to deter crime. That is the deterrence.
4:53
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that guy. I don't want
4:54
Speaker 1: to be deprived of my liberties. I don't want to
4:56
Speaker 1: have to pay fines. I don't want to have a record,
4:57
Speaker 1: et cetera. So uh duh. Apparently the judiciary in here
5:02
Speaker 1: in Hamilton County hasn't gotten a memo on that, and
5:04
Speaker 1: they are of course all woke and think no one
5:05
Speaker 1: needs to be punished for anything because the crimes they
5:08
Speaker 1: commit are not their fault. How badcrap insane is that.
5:12
Speaker 1: It's not your fault that you went out and murdered somebody.
5:14
Speaker 1: It's not your fault that you went out and stole
5:16
Speaker 1: from someone. It's not your fault that you went out
5:18
Speaker 1: and rioted in the street. No it is. You can
5:22
Speaker 1: be angry, but that does not give you the right
5:24
Speaker 1: to commit crimes against other people. You are intruding into
5:32
Speaker 1: their rights, their freedoms, they're liberties when you commit a
5:35
Speaker 1: crime against somebody else. And yes, robbing a business is
5:37
Speaker 1: committing a crime against the business owner. So you know,
5:40
Speaker 1: society demands punishment, which will then act as a deterrent.
5:43
Speaker 1: So great, Josh Garth, I think that's a great issue.
5:46
Speaker 1: And I would argue, and I know in a world
5:47
Speaker 1: that we in the world we live in now that
5:49
Speaker 1: maybe that's not bipartisan anymore. I'd like to think democrats
5:53
Speaker 1: out there, at least the vast majority, the ones that
5:54
Speaker 1: aren't being paid to go riot in the streets, also
5:57
Speaker 1: agree with me that, yeah, we need to punish crimes
5:59
Speaker 1: because crime hitting our neighborhoods too. Crime does not have
6:02
Speaker 1: a political stripe that Josh Karth eight oh five. Sorry
6:06
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson. Love Peter Bronson, great guy. He is going
6:09
Speaker 1: to be on the program at seven thirty. He talking
6:10
Speaker 1: about the forty ninth anniversary of the Beverly Hills supper
6:12
Speaker 1: Club fire, a fire that was intentionally set. Sorry, stan Chesley,
6:16
Speaker 1: I know you're in heaven or hell depending on your perspective,
6:19
Speaker 1: is stan Chesley, and you can't hear me? Maybe you can.
6:23
Speaker 1: It wasn't aluminum wiring. It was a mob job. That
6:28
Speaker 1: entire situation so corrupt, law enforcement involved, the governor was
6:34
Speaker 1: involved in destroying evidence. And Peter Brownce is going to
6:36
Speaker 1: break it down for us again seven to thirty with
6:38
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson in between now and then, the phone calls
6:40
Speaker 1: are always welcome, get us on whatever topic you want
6:43
Speaker 1: to talk about. And the chickens are coming home to roost.
6:45
Speaker 1: The Republicans are going to have a hard time this
6:47
Speaker 1: November with inflation, the reality of inflation. Grocery store prices
6:50
Speaker 1: are going up, and they predict they the all knowing,
6:53
Speaker 1: all seeing, they are predicting it's going to get worse.
6:57
Speaker 1: Whether it's part of it. Of course, the fertilizer problems,
6:59
Speaker 1: with the straight up horror moves, obviously, the price of
7:01
Speaker 1: fuel is really the key in this one. And yes,
7:04
Speaker 1: we started hitting new strikes yesterday. Is the ceasefire still
7:08
Speaker 1: in place? US forces conducted new military strikes against Iran yesterday,
7:13
Speaker 1: this after Tehran launched drones at commercial ships in the
7:17
Speaker 1: Strait of Horror Moves. Apparently American forces shot down Iranian
7:25
Speaker 1: drones hit a drone control station. Ah, one of those things,
7:32
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that Daniel Davis keeps talking about,
7:34
Speaker 1: you know, a drone control station. I suspect that that
7:36
Speaker 1: could literally be anything enough room to launch a drone
7:39
Speaker 1: that would be a control drone control station. So lots
7:43
Speaker 1: of territory, lots of potential places for drone control stations.
7:47
Speaker 1: That one just happened to be operating actively launching drone,
7:50
Speaker 1: so they were able to find it and blow it up.
7:55
Speaker 1: Iran fired four one way attack drones at American and
8:00
Speaker 1: commercial ships, corded officials. American faighteens, F sixteens and F
8:04
Speaker 1: thirty five fighters shot down the drones, and then the
8:08
Speaker 1: F eighteens hit the ground control unit, the control station
8:12
Speaker 1: before launch. It could launch a fifth drone. Well that's good.
8:15
Speaker 1: One less of those in Iran? How many are left?
8:16
Speaker 1: Great question? We don't know. Now. I love this, you know?
8:25
Speaker 1: Is anybody else buying into the spin on this? Administration
8:30
Speaker 1: officials characterized the attacks as limited and defensive in nature,
8:35
Speaker 1: not an escalation that would collapse the tenuous ceasefire. The
8:38
Speaker 1: two sides have mostly been observing, mostly limited defensive ergo,
8:45
Speaker 1: the ceasefire is still in place. Well, the Iranians launched
8:48
Speaker 1: the blank and drones. Have you let the Iridians know
8:51
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be in a ceasefire. So many police say,
8:56
Speaker 1: what is a ceasefire? Definitionally speaking, Ah, we're in the
8:59
Speaker 1: land of orwell, aren't we. The Ministry of Truth has
9:01
Speaker 1: described it as well, it's a ceasefire, but it's not.
9:05
Speaker 1: It's okay if we characterize it as defensive, we're not
9:08
Speaker 1: involved in exchanging weapons and fire. Kuwait also came under
9:15
Speaker 1: attack this after the US strikes, knocking out the drone
9:20
Speaker 1: control station. Kuwait military said it was intercepting hostile missiles
9:25
Speaker 1: and drone attacks and told their residents to seek cover.
9:28
Speaker 1: So there's one of your Middle Eastern countries that are
9:31
Speaker 1: threatened by Iran. Big problem there Iuran starts blowing up
9:37
Speaker 1: the local Saudi are the Middle Eastern countries. That's where
9:43
Speaker 1: all the oil comes from. You know, we could go
9:45
Speaker 1: on and on and on about the problems that's going
9:47
Speaker 1: to create. The desalination plants are a real problem. That
9:50
Speaker 1: is a humanitarian crisis just waiting if the Iranians ultimately
9:54
Speaker 1: hit the desalination plants in Saudi Arabia, that's all that's
9:58
Speaker 1: the only place they can get their water from, right,
10:00
Speaker 1: we can't drink sea water and look it's in a desert,
10:04
Speaker 1: very arid reason. Oh shocking, no one. That's a real problem.
10:08
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons maybe we haven't gone full
10:11
Speaker 1: on bomby because the Iron's got such an ability to
10:14
Speaker 1: go ahead and launch missiles, some of them ultimately hit
10:18
Speaker 1: its quantity apparently more than quality of air strikes in
10:22
Speaker 1: this particular war. It runs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps corpse
10:28
Speaker 1: if you're Barack Obama said it hit a US base
10:32
Speaker 1: in response to the strikes, and it would retaliate for
10:34
Speaker 1: any future attacks. Same old sorry, same old song and dance.
10:37
Speaker 1: We're hearing this over and over and over. But more fundamentally,
10:41
Speaker 1: the problem is creeping into our election in November. The
10:44
Speaker 1: Rudians know this, and they seem to be stringing along us.
10:48
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know they're really stringing us along.
10:50
Speaker 1: We say something, they come out and say something completely opposite.
10:55
Speaker 1: They even denied that the enrichment that uranium is the
11:00
Speaker 1: subject matter of the current polic peace negotiations. Well, we're
11:05
Speaker 1: not even talking about it, say the irradience. Donald Trump
11:07
Speaker 1: comes out and says, we're all talking about getting rid
11:09
Speaker 1: of the uranium that the Iudians have the dust. However,
11:12
Speaker 1: we want to recap reclaim it. Whatever the peace negotiations yield,
11:15
Speaker 1: it's going to include a resolution of the uranium that
11:18
Speaker 1: Iran has. Iran comes out yesterday and says, no, we're
11:21
Speaker 1: not even talking about it. I don't know what's going on.
11:24
Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody can know, what's going on,
11:27
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what it's all about. Confuse, confuse, confuse.
11:30
Speaker 1: Kick the can down the road another couple of days,
11:33
Speaker 1: another couple of weeks. We're still talking. We're still talking. Meanwhile,
11:36
Speaker 1: Americans are struggling and suffering, and this is going to
11:38
Speaker 1: become a real problem for the Republicans in November because
11:41
Speaker 1: people don't get the reality of it. We've been dealing
11:44
Speaker 1: with high prices of gasoline a long time. In fact,
11:46
Speaker 1: the gasoline just now is around where it was several
11:49
Speaker 1: years ago. We've lived through this before, and it will
11:57
Speaker 1: certainly go back down at some point. And you know
12:01
Speaker 1: what's going to happen after it goes back down at
12:03
Speaker 1: some point, Right, it's going to go back up again
12:06
Speaker 1: at some point. Just a question who's going to get
12:09
Speaker 1: blamed for it? But the timing is everything. The Runians
12:11
Speaker 1: know they got Trump over a barrel because we short
12:14
Speaker 1: attention span theater. Look at exactly what's hitting us at
12:17
Speaker 1: this very moment in time, and we'll lash out at
12:19
Speaker 1: the party in control for bringing this about, some say
12:22
Speaker 1: legitimately in this case, because the price increase has been
12:25
Speaker 1: a result of Donald Trump's decision to bamba Rod praise it,
12:30
Speaker 1: don't praise it, criticize it. There is a corollary, a
12:35
Speaker 1: direct connection with the Middle East and what we're dealing
12:39
Speaker 1: with now. And I'm old enough to remember when. Yeah,
12:41
Speaker 1: there was a direct connection between OPEC shutting off production
12:45
Speaker 1: and driving out the prices of oil back in the
12:47
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies. And you know what, I'm still alive after
12:49
Speaker 1: we lived through that. Of course they didn't have to
12:51
Speaker 1: fill a tank when I was about seven years old,
12:53
Speaker 1: but you know, we live through it. Five three, seven,
12:56
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
12:58
Speaker 1: to three talk pound five fifty on at and T
13:00
Speaker 1: phone stick around. We got a whole lot more to
13:02
Speaker 1: talk about, and I welcome the conversation.
13:06
Speaker 3: It happens only once a year in Las Vegas legendary.
13:12
Speaker 1: It is five twenty two here at fifty five KROC
13:15
Speaker 1: the talk station, Friday Eve. You know, I was mentioning
13:23
Speaker 1: listener lunch yesterday it's Anderson pub and Grill and I
13:27
Speaker 1: did post it up on my Facebook accountant. For some
13:30
Speaker 1: I did not. I just was it didn't register me.
13:33
Speaker 1: June is next week. It's like running out of days.
13:36
Speaker 1: This month went by so quickly. So June is next
13:39
Speaker 1: week and listener lunch next Wednesday we're gonna be the
13:42
Speaker 1: Anderson Pub as I mentioned, and just for my friends
13:44
Speaker 1: out and listening audience, Yes, I do have an answer.
13:46
Speaker 1: I'm getting my final cancer treatments next Thursday and Friday,
13:51
Speaker 1: which means I got to take some days off the
13:53
Speaker 1: following week. And Joe Strecker made an executive decision when
13:56
Speaker 1: I put in for my two days off because I
13:58
Speaker 1: got brain fog from chemo, the whole week off because
14:01
Speaker 1: I did struggle after that. So anyway, they'll be off
14:04
Speaker 1: the following week for the full week, and I guess
14:07
Speaker 1: quote unquote recuperating. Please, dear guy, let it be at
14:11
Speaker 1: least hopefully get five more years of remission out of
14:14
Speaker 1: this round of treatments. Since I got it last time,
14:16
Speaker 1: I would welcome that. If I got to go through
14:18
Speaker 1: it again, that's fine. Thank God for American medicine because
14:21
Speaker 1: I you know, who knows if it's in some foreign country,
14:24
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Gary's on the phone, Gary, welcome back man.
14:27
Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you, sir.
14:29
Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing, Brian?
14:31
Speaker 5: Hey?
14:32
Speaker 4: I thought some prayers are with you. I appreciate it.
14:35
Speaker 4: I'm taken all next week off too.
14:37
Speaker 1: You're taking next week off, I'm taking the following week off. Well,
14:40
Speaker 1: if you're off next week, your Hampshire Gary, fly on
14:42
Speaker 1: in so you could be a listener lunch at Anderson pumpmcgirl.
14:46
Speaker 4: Well, I sure wish I could, but I've got a
14:49
Speaker 4: dog up here I gotta take care of.
14:51
Speaker 1: That's fine. Just just call the dog a companion animal
14:55
Speaker 1: and then you could take the dog literally any place
14:57
Speaker 1: you go.
14:58
Speaker 4: Well, I got I gotta go down there see my parents.
15:01
Speaker 1: I got to figure it out someday, someday.
15:03
Speaker 4: Really, it's been a while anyhow. I was like, if
15:08
Speaker 4: you think you've got it rough down in Cincinnati and
15:11
Speaker 4: that area, you have tried to living up in Maine
15:14
Speaker 4: or up here in New Hampshire, because you know, we
15:17
Speaker 4: got the the New England Looney Tombes running around.
15:23
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that guy is.
15:26
Speaker 4: That there's Well, welcome to New Hampshire or even Maine.
15:32
Speaker 4: It's really Looney Tunes town, because I mean we got
15:36
Speaker 4: Satanists that are sheriffs, and I mean literal Satans, you know,
15:42
Speaker 4: and it's just crazy up here.
15:46
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, I know, I admit that there are
15:48
Speaker 1: all kinds of absolutely, I mean seemingly objectively insane people
15:52
Speaker 1: that are running for office and actually getting traction in
15:55
Speaker 1: spite of their insanity. Now you know, you mentioned as
15:57
Speaker 1: Satanist as a sheriff, and you know part of me
16:00
Speaker 1: wants to react by thank god, we don't live in
16:02
Speaker 1: a theocracy, right.
16:04
Speaker 4: That's true. But I don't want to Satanist for ship.
16:07
Speaker 1: No, no, no. I certainly understand that that was a
16:12
Speaker 1: kind of a reference to Eva Ramaswami because he is Hindu,
16:16
Speaker 1: and I know that bothers some of my evangelical conservative friends,
16:20
Speaker 1: and I say point out, looking, he can't make you
16:24
Speaker 1: adhere to any particular religion. Thank God, we don't live
16:26
Speaker 1: in a theocracy. So yeah, you might get a Satanist
16:29
Speaker 1: thrown in there, But I do not believe Hindu or
16:31
Speaker 1: Hindu is anywhere remotely close to the evils of Satanic worship.
16:36
Speaker 4: I believe that he's he's backing Christian ethics. Oh yeah,
16:40
Speaker 4: why I would back him. And that's that's the main difference.
16:44
Speaker 4: This Satanist is out and open worshiping at altars of Satan,
16:49
Speaker 4: and it's just crazy.
16:51
Speaker 1: That is crazy.
16:52
Speaker 4: There's the difference. But anyhow you can live. Up in Portland, Maine,
16:56
Speaker 4: there are five crimes that the homeless can commit that
17:01
Speaker 4: people who have homes cannot. And part of it is
17:04
Speaker 4: drug possession, heroin, acid, LSD. All of it they're allowed
17:10
Speaker 4: to possess as long as they're not trafficking. That makes
17:13
Speaker 4: a difference. And you know, drug palophernalia, a shoplifting up
17:20
Speaker 4: to nine hundred dollars. And they had the cop come
17:22
Speaker 4: out and explain this to the people, you know, there
17:27
Speaker 4: seems to me that that's not it's not equality, end
17:31
Speaker 4: of the wall. How can you charge one guy and
17:33
Speaker 4: not the other for the same offense, you know, But
17:37
Speaker 4: they're doing it up in Maine all the time. And
17:42
Speaker 4: there was that shooting that they had up there. They
17:44
Speaker 4: had a mass shooting in twenty twenty three, I think,
17:47
Speaker 4: and they raise they had raised for a nonprofit the
17:51
Speaker 4: state of Maine, raise sixty six million dollars, of which
17:55
Speaker 4: it was in for the shooting victims. And it was
17:58
Speaker 4: later discovered that over sixty percent of the money that
18:01
Speaker 4: they raised we're giving they actually gave it instead of
18:05
Speaker 4: to the victims like they promised, they gave the money
18:09
Speaker 4: to the immigrant NGOs up in Maine, which are you know,
18:15
Speaker 4: all the leering centers and.
18:19
Speaker 6: Tremendous.
18:20
Speaker 4: Now they've also got a guy who I follow him
18:23
Speaker 4: on that. He writes for the Main Wire, which is
18:27
Speaker 4: a newspaper, and he undercovers all the corruption. Apparently they
18:32
Speaker 4: got this big thing up there to where they have
18:36
Speaker 4: people with brain injury in that and it's kind of
18:39
Speaker 4: a racket. These people. They get their old folks like
18:42
Speaker 4: your father had Alzheimer Ruten or a mental disorder, and
18:48
Speaker 4: they're sending these people away to these mostly immigrant run,
18:54
Speaker 4: illegal immigrants, probably their immigrant run, and the main is
19:00
Speaker 4: directing the money. They're tying these people down in houses
19:06
Speaker 4: and then they get a doctor's order and probably an
19:10
Speaker 4: illegal doctor, you know.
19:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, cut to the Chase sampstercre We're way over
19:14
Speaker 1: in time. I mean, obviously there's crime, there's fraud, waste
19:17
Speaker 1: of use, there's people both consistent.
19:20
Speaker 4: You know, there's people in fear of what they're doing
19:22
Speaker 4: up there. It's crazy.
19:23
Speaker 1: Well, we shouldn't have to live in fear in our
19:25
Speaker 1: own backyard, right, maybe we should find Well, first off,
19:28
Speaker 1: don't just go throwing money at any given handout, all right,
19:31
Speaker 1: you know, you want your money to fulfill a purpose
19:34
Speaker 1: that you're directing the money towards. You do a little
19:36
Speaker 1: bit more research on it. That way you'll know where
19:38
Speaker 1: the money's going. Don't fund that, could go fund me, Hi,
19:41
Speaker 1: I want money for Oh my god, just this cause
19:44
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking. Give me money. You never know, you never know.
19:47
Speaker 1: So there's that. And then of course every government program,
19:50
Speaker 1: as we're finding out every single day more and more
19:52
Speaker 1: and more, is going to have some fraud in it. Absolutely,
19:57
Speaker 1: And then there are horrific examples as you can grab
19:59
Speaker 1: in sight that people being tied down. Blah blah blah.
20:01
Speaker 1: We all got that. Let's crack down on it. This
20:04
Speaker 1: should be a major campaign issue in November, more so
20:07
Speaker 1: than the price of gasoline. As far as I'm concerned,
20:10
Speaker 1: shut it all down, I say, well, maybe drastic, but
20:14
Speaker 1: I'm there now. A twenty nine fifty five kc detalk station,
20:18
Speaker 1: local stories, phone calls, whatever way, whichever way you want
20:20
Speaker 1: to go, be right back.
20:21
Speaker 7: Don't vote Democrat.
20:23
Speaker 5: Fifty five KRCY A great American ballpark.
20:26
Speaker 1: When your reds drugs, you legalized drugs, guess what happens?
20:31
Speaker 1: People die. But people die even when the drugs are
20:34
Speaker 1: not legalized. So there's that problem. Does Darwin factor into this?
20:39
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds cool and harsh, but
20:41
Speaker 1: you know, you can send out as many alerts as possible.
20:43
Speaker 1: You can issue an alert like locally where we've seen
20:46
Speaker 1: a spiker and drug overdoses in Hamilton County, prompting health
20:48
Speaker 1: officials to issue an alert. Something's in the drugs. You're
20:52
Speaker 1: gonna die, Okay, either pay attention to that or not.
20:55
Speaker 1: Darwin I suppose, would argue if you refuse to pay
20:57
Speaker 1: attention to that, you buy street drugs, which could be
21:00
Speaker 1: isn't to you? And you could drop over dad that
21:02
Speaker 1: maybe maybe survival of the fitness is kicking in. Gee,
21:09
Speaker 1: that's one idiot person who's now dead.
21:13
Speaker 8: That.
21:13
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound harsh, but isn't that the reality?
21:15
Speaker 1: Because I used to be the one that advocated the
21:17
Speaker 1: little libertarian I am. You know, we shouldn't criminalize self abuse,
21:21
Speaker 1: but you know what, self abuse can lead to death
21:28
Speaker 1: unless you intervene, and that way you have NGOs popping
21:31
Speaker 1: up all over the place. We need money for narcan
21:33
Speaker 1: we need money for this? We need money for that. Look,
21:35
Speaker 1: you create the problem by legalizing it. Right, People die
21:38
Speaker 1: in the streets and then you create all these different
21:40
Speaker 1: mechanisms to solve the problem of people dying in the street. Hmm,
21:45
Speaker 1: maybe there's something to that. Tom, Welcome to the Morning
21:50
Speaker 1: Show and Happy Friday Eve to you brother.
21:52
Speaker 7: Maybe you're onto something.
21:54
Speaker 1: I just listen, I'm just asking.
21:58
Speaker 4: Just answer for.
22:00
Speaker 1: You know, this is an open opportunity for you to
22:03
Speaker 1: call them, tell me why I'm wrong or why I'm
22:05
Speaker 1: on the right track. Listen, I'm one guy trying to
22:07
Speaker 1: figure out life. But if you know, the drugs might
22:10
Speaker 1: kill you. And I understand what addiction is all about.
22:13
Speaker 1: It's not it's like depression. You can't just say, snap
22:16
Speaker 1: out of it, life's great, quit you know, whining about
22:18
Speaker 1: your It's it's more complicated than that. But at the
22:21
Speaker 1: final analysis, even a person who is addicted to drugs
22:24
Speaker 1: knows damn well that what they put into them may
22:27
Speaker 1: very well kill them. So go ahead, Tom, I'm.
22:31
Speaker 7: Sorry, I'm just no, don't start. You're on it, man,
22:34
Speaker 7: You're on a roll.
22:35
Speaker 2: So I was.
22:36
Speaker 7: I was talking to Joe or a minute ago, and
22:38
Speaker 7: I was like, there's a lot of wackos out there.
22:41
Speaker 7: Unfortunately a lot of them are running for office, and uh,
22:45
Speaker 7: there's a there's a political party that's open arms saying yeah,
22:48
Speaker 7: come on in, what put a D in front of
22:50
Speaker 7: your name and and we'll just have a good old time.
22:54
Speaker 7: This is insane what's going on. And you know, and
22:59
Speaker 7: you talked about you're gonna talk to somebody later about
23:02
Speaker 7: about crime and things like that. You can't give people excuses.
23:06
Speaker 7: You can't give people like, oh, that's okay, it's not
23:10
Speaker 7: your fault. You can't tell people that as soon as
23:12
Speaker 7: you do, they're gonna take advantage of it. We mean,
23:14
Speaker 7: we all do it, but I mean as soon as
23:16
Speaker 7: we as soon as something happens, we're all looking for
23:19
Speaker 7: some kind of excuse to use to blame someone else
23:21
Speaker 7: or to make people feel sorry for us. You can't
23:24
Speaker 7: just go give people excuses. We're gonna come up with
23:26
Speaker 7: our own. There needs to be accountability. I mean, how
23:29
Speaker 7: many times are gonna talk about this subject? I mean,
23:31
Speaker 7: it's never gonna go away. It's the same old thing
23:34
Speaker 7: you have to have. People have to have accountability. That's
23:37
Speaker 7: what stops people from doing, you know what they're gonna do.
23:40
Speaker 7: At some point, people have to stop themselves. And unfortunately,
23:44
Speaker 7: as human beings, we need some outside force to stop us,
23:48
Speaker 7: to remind us that's that's a bad idea. We have
23:51
Speaker 7: to touch the frying pan to prove to ourselves that
23:54
Speaker 7: oh no, crap, that's gonna hurt you know we I mean,
23:57
Speaker 7: that's what has to happen. So there has to be
24:00
Speaker 7: adults in place, not wackos, not idiots out there. There
24:04
Speaker 7: has to be adults in place. Say no, I'm putting
24:07
Speaker 7: my foot down that you're I'm not letting you get
24:10
Speaker 7: away with this because why because well, first of all,
24:12
Speaker 7: I don't want you to hurt yourself. Why would I
24:15
Speaker 7: want you if I'm in some position that that that
24:18
Speaker 7: I'm I'm in charge of, why would I want you
24:21
Speaker 7: to hurt yourself?
24:22
Speaker 4: Well?
24:23
Speaker 7: And and now why do I want to let you
24:24
Speaker 7: hurt somebody else?
24:25
Speaker 4: Right?
24:26
Speaker 7: I mean that's what it's all about. Oh you're you're
24:29
Speaker 7: you're keeping me from doing what I want. Yes, I am,
24:31
Speaker 7: because you're stupid, you know, if you're being an idiot.
24:35
Speaker 7: You know, idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. That's
24:38
Speaker 7: why I'm in a position I am because I want
24:40
Speaker 7: to stop you from hurting yourself and other people. How
24:43
Speaker 7: hard is this understand? Oh, you're taking away my freedom.
24:48
Speaker 7: I mean, what do you do?
24:49
Speaker 9: You know?
24:49
Speaker 7: But you just gotta keep you just got to keep
24:51
Speaker 7: standing in the gap, standing in their way, and and
24:53
Speaker 7: all this political party, come on, guys, and how many
24:56
Speaker 7: times we got to talk about this that there there?
24:59
Speaker 7: It's crazy, It's insane And as Joe, as Joe played
25:03
Speaker 7: it a few minutes ago, I got to repeat it,
25:05
Speaker 7: don't vote Democrat.
25:07
Speaker 1: Have a great day, Brian, Tom. You gotta be so
25:09
Speaker 1: proud of yourself. You got a thing going and it's
25:11
Speaker 1: continuing over and over again. It's catching on. Appreciate it. James,
25:15
Speaker 1: Bobby's on the phone. James on the phone, Hang on, guys,
25:17
Speaker 1: get to your calls before I get to the just
25:20
Speaker 1: shy have five forty two? I think if I have Kecity
25:22
Speaker 1: talks to you and go jump straight to the Phone's
25:23
Speaker 1: got a couple of callers online and on holds. We're
25:25
Speaker 1: to start with Bobby's been on hold longest, James, Hold on, Bobby,
25:28
Speaker 1: welcome back to the program.
25:30
Speaker 6: Hey my brother, Happy Thursday and Shadyville Taste Flags Family
25:34
Speaker 6: and it's handicap time for all the violence that that
25:37
Speaker 6: the thugs are going to bring out this week.
25:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, you typically do this on a Thursday, don't you
25:41
Speaker 1: because you include Friday, Saturday and Sunday for your over
25:44
Speaker 1: and underprediction for violence in the city. Of course, school's out, Bobby.
25:47
Speaker 1: That's gonna mean the bigger problems. We've got dry conditions,
25:50
Speaker 1: although it's not going to be boiling hots, very comfortable
25:53
Speaker 1: temperature wise, so that might keep the crime level down
25:56
Speaker 1: a little bit. So go ahead, let us have your
25:58
Speaker 1: forecast and we'll go to the prediction markets and see
26:00
Speaker 1: what they go with.
26:02
Speaker 6: Well, the violence and everything has to be you know,
26:05
Speaker 6: firearm violence. We have a lot of hit and runs,
26:07
Speaker 6: people just run down people and everything in the streets.
26:10
Speaker 6: It's firearm violence. But we handicapped a sense of thugs
26:14
Speaker 6: are ready to come out at seven seven?
26:17
Speaker 1: Yes, well, you know what, how can I argue with that?
26:20
Speaker 1: On the trend we are the course we are on
26:22
Speaker 1: right now. Well, let us all pray that it's not
26:25
Speaker 1: that high. Go ahead and place your bets, Bobby. You
26:28
Speaker 1: can call back next week and let us know where
26:31
Speaker 1: you were on that one. You're going over or under, Bobby,
26:33
Speaker 1: because you're allowed to make a bet on your own prediction.
26:35
Speaker 6: You know, well, we were going to take it at
26:38
Speaker 6: six and a half, but we got to go over
26:39
Speaker 6: the seven because they're chewing at the bid on the
26:42
Speaker 6: streets and just God bless the blue because they're going
26:45
Speaker 6: to have their hands full in the next seventy two hours.
26:47
Speaker 1: Amen to every single blow law enforcement officer. Prayers for
26:50
Speaker 1: each and every one of them, and might be a
26:52
Speaker 1: good job, a good time to stay frosty. You right, Bobby,
26:54
Speaker 1: make sure you can defend yourself because the police will
26:57
Speaker 1: be busy, and when seconds count, the likelihood they're going
27:00
Speaker 1: to show up within seconds is slim and none. I'm
27:03
Speaker 1: gonna go under on that likelihood, Bobby. Thank you so
27:06
Speaker 1: much for your prediction, Mississippi. James, Welcome back to the show.
27:09
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Eve, sir, Hey, good.
27:11
Speaker 2: Morning, Dougan Brian Man. You on a road this morning,
27:15
Speaker 2: trying to plug some reason into this upside down world.
27:20
Speaker 1: You know, when you spring from logic and reason, which
27:23
Speaker 1: I like to think I do, Bobby, it makes my
27:25
Speaker 1: brain want to blow up. Anyway, see if you can
27:28
Speaker 1: you can fix the situation for us and break it
27:31
Speaker 1: down for us. James.
27:33
Speaker 2: Well, one part when you was talking about the drug,
27:35
Speaker 2: it took me immediately back to Olive North and Ronald
27:38
Speaker 2: Reagan with the contray arm and all that mixed up
27:42
Speaker 2: stuff at that time, that flood at the community with
27:46
Speaker 2: cocaine and crack cocaine, and it just destroyed people's you know,
27:52
Speaker 2: and you know from there, hey what it turned into.
27:57
Speaker 2: So we always have to look at the top.
28:00
Speaker 1: Well, okay, hold on, red line, let's look at just
28:02
Speaker 1: analyze that real quick. Okay, let's just assumber the sake
28:04
Speaker 1: of discussion. Your accurate. And this was an intentional flooding
28:06
Speaker 1: of cocaine. Someone had to make the decision to take
28:10
Speaker 1: the drugs. I didn't do it. Ah, people who took
28:16
Speaker 1: the drugs did it. Why is it that any given
28:20
Speaker 1: community decide they wanted to start, you know, killing themselves
28:22
Speaker 1: by taking a lot of drugs in the flood of
28:24
Speaker 1: the market, merely because it was available. Listen, you could
28:26
Speaker 1: have ten pounds of cocaine sitting on a table with
28:29
Speaker 1: a sign on it that says free. I wouldn't touch
28:32
Speaker 1: it with a ten foot pole because it could kill me.
28:36
Speaker 1: It's bad for you.
28:37
Speaker 4: What.
28:37
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with legality of it. It's
28:39
Speaker 1: just a stupid decision to start doing in the first place.
28:43
Speaker 4: That's true.
28:43
Speaker 2: But when you got peoples on the bottom of a
28:45
Speaker 2: totem pole, deep press and oppression and subpression, and then
28:49
Speaker 2: you bring something in there to there they don't even
28:52
Speaker 2: look at it. It's killing themselves well just looking at
28:55
Speaker 2: it and trying to relieve something that pressure this misgad it,
29:00
Speaker 2: you know, but.
29:01
Speaker 1: Poor people are incapable of realizing the drugs are dangerous.
29:06
Speaker 1: I don't buy that.
29:08
Speaker 2: No, I don't think that's what I said.
29:10
Speaker 1: Well, you know, flooding any given community. I just kind
29:14
Speaker 1: of I've kind of read into that because the poorer
29:16
Speaker 1: communities I believe were most impacted. I look at West
29:18
Speaker 1: Virginia as white as I am pretty much, and they
29:21
Speaker 1: were ruined by the opioid epidemic.
29:24
Speaker 2: I mean why, well depressed, oppressed, and subpress And you
29:30
Speaker 2: have to be around those people that think that way. Now,
29:35
Speaker 2: if you're not around those you'll probably never see it.
29:38
Speaker 2: Now understand that, you know, we got different mindsets and
29:42
Speaker 2: stuff you involved with. So when you have targeted in
29:46
Speaker 2: whatever situation it is, you know, and we can go
29:49
Speaker 2: back and we can talk about Oh ahead.
29:52
Speaker 1: Think that way. I mean, that's why why would anyby
29:56
Speaker 1: think that way? My My position is no one in
29:59
Speaker 1: any socioeconomic situations should think that it's okay or right
30:03
Speaker 1: or proper or I don't know, to take drugs, the
30:07
Speaker 1: bad drugs, the drugs that will kill you. All of this,
30:10
Speaker 1: all the evil that comes from it is widely known.
30:12
Speaker 1: It is generally shared among the entire world about the
30:14
Speaker 1: dangers and evils of drugs. I've been hearing it since
30:17
Speaker 1: I was in elementary school. So I went to public schools.
30:21
Speaker 1: I had the same curriculum as anybody who was a
30:23
Speaker 1: public school available to them, and that's what I learned,
30:26
Speaker 1: and it scared the hell out of me taking drugs.
30:30
Speaker 2: And I've never taken them since I have watched people
30:32
Speaker 2: that have taken I have been offered you know, yeah.
30:36
Speaker 1: Oh oh, It's been around me my entire life, Jamestone. Yes,
30:41
Speaker 1: And I went to school with a lot of people
30:43
Speaker 1: from different socioeconomic strategy or socioeconomic backgrounds that did take drugs.
30:48
Speaker 1: But I never understood it. So, you know, where does
30:53
Speaker 1: that thinking. You know, you haven't been around people that
30:57
Speaker 1: think that way, the idea that they think that way, ie,
30:59
Speaker 1: that it's okay, right or acceptable or otherwise. I mean,
31:02
Speaker 1: I am so desperate that I'm going to basically effectively
31:05
Speaker 1: get on a drug that's going to kill me. I
31:07
Speaker 1: don't understand that point. I don't believe society forced anyone
31:11
Speaker 1: to do that. The availability of something doesn't necessarily mean
31:14
Speaker 1: that you're gonna go ahead and use it. So blame
31:17
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan and Olie North, or blame anybody. Blame the
31:19
Speaker 1: cartels that are making money off it. They're making money
31:22
Speaker 1: off of because there's a demand. The demand is the problem.
31:25
Speaker 1: It's the front end user that is the problem. It's
31:28
Speaker 1: not society's issue unless society is encouraging the consumption of
31:34
Speaker 1: dangerous drugs. And at no time in my life has
31:37
Speaker 1: that ever been encouraged except by the people who are
31:41
Speaker 1: making a lot of money off of selling it. By
31:44
Speaker 1: forty eight fifty five K see the talk station, be
31:47
Speaker 1: right back fifty five. I suppose the exception of my
31:53
Speaker 1: climate about drugs, alcohol, and most recently weed societally acceptable.
32:01
Speaker 1: Now you can draw your own conclusions as to whether
32:03
Speaker 1: either of those is a quote unquote gateway drug. But
32:05
Speaker 1: I still don't think even if the quoted like weed
32:07
Speaker 1: is a gateway drug, how that smoking weed necessarily results
32:12
Speaker 1: in someone making a really, really stupid choice about moving
32:15
Speaker 1: on into something like, oh, I don't know heroin anyhow,
32:19
Speaker 1: stack as stupid? Hey, like this is an opening sentence.
32:23
Speaker 1: Sex obsessed prison warden filmed romping with an inmate in
32:27
Speaker 1: his cell, said she is, in her words, incredibly embarrassed,
32:32
Speaker 1: indeed regrets the decision and now she is spending time
32:35
Speaker 1: behind bars herself. Her name Linda Desuza Abrue, described as
32:39
Speaker 1: a married mom and only fans. Creator Red Flag went
32:43
Speaker 1: viral for having sex with burglar Lynton Wiritch, who's thirty nine,
32:47
Speaker 1: in his cell at a lock up in South London.
32:50
Speaker 1: Footage showing her doing that, her looking back with a
32:53
Speaker 1: huge grin as he stood behind her with his hands
32:57
Speaker 1: on her hips. Quote. I regret everything I did. I'm
32:59
Speaker 1: incredibly embarrassed, after being released five months into her fifteen
33:04
Speaker 1: month sentence for improper conduct. I had sex with someone
33:08
Speaker 1: I should have had sex with, and I had an
33:09
Speaker 1: inappropriate relationship. But I didn't do anything else, okay. She
33:15
Speaker 1: said that regarding her texting the convict on a phone
33:18
Speaker 1: that he had illegally smuggled into the jail. Joe, how
33:22
Speaker 1: do you think he got a phone into the jail?
33:26
Speaker 1: Prison purse? What's that She had previously waxed poetic on
33:32
Speaker 1: a UK TV show about how much she loved sex,
33:35
Speaker 1: saying she wants to turn her life around now and
33:37
Speaker 1: focus on being a mom. I've just been keeping a
33:40
Speaker 1: low key life. I just want to get on with
33:42
Speaker 1: my life. I want to keep being a good mom
33:44
Speaker 1: to my child. She told The Sun newspaper how she
33:49
Speaker 1: and Abru had sex a few times inside the lockup
33:54
Speaker 1: before the encounter, which was recorded by a fellow inmate
33:57
Speaker 1: known only as Sharky what in the cell next to Cornpop.
34:04
Speaker 1: He claimed Linda knew was being filmed but didn't seem
34:07
Speaker 1: to care about it. For her job, he said, the
34:10
Speaker 1: sex followed the warden constantly being flirty with him. It
34:14
Speaker 1: was obvious she liked me, he said. Of course, the
34:16
Speaker 1: video went viral, she was arrested and as she tried
34:20
Speaker 1: to get out of the country going to Madrid on
34:21
Speaker 1: an airplane. Right, yeah, okay, And if you're in the
34:28
Speaker 1: Key West, probably speaking of drinking, maybe you're gonna be Inbibing.
34:31
Speaker 1: Don't be this guy, a man from suburban Chicago now
34:34
Speaker 1: in real trouble after authority say while drunk, he stole
34:38
Speaker 1: a police cruiser Key West Police Department said the incident
34:42
Speaker 1: happened Saturday. Report states that John Mack, thirty eight, Lagrange, Illinois,
34:46
Speaker 1: had been drinking at Dante's Key West Pool bar and restaurant.
34:51
Speaker 1: Surveillance video showed him about twenty minutes after six pm,
34:53
Speaker 1: walking out of the pool bar with two friends and
34:56
Speaker 1: standing a couple of feet away from the patrol vehicle,
34:58
Speaker 1: then opening the door. Getting authority, said he put the
35:01
Speaker 1: car and drive, almost hitting two of the other men.
35:05
Speaker 1: Ports State security guard got the officer's attention and the
35:08
Speaker 1: other police officers responded to the bar as he drove
35:11
Speaker 1: the cruiser around the marina parking lot. They later found
35:16
Speaker 1: him outside the nearby boat House bar and grill. He
35:19
Speaker 1: said he claimed that he had are you ready? How
35:21
Speaker 1: many beers do you think? He had? Two says to
35:25
Speaker 1: three to six, specifically Corona bears. He failed a field
35:30
Speaker 1: sobriety tests and sustained a few cuts from offence after
35:33
Speaker 1: being arrested. Also refused a breathalyzer tapes. Police said he
35:37
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been driving any vehicle, much less a police cruiser.
35:42
Speaker 1: He had no valid driver's license, possessing only an Illinois
35:45
Speaker 1: identification card, which means he was probably eligible to vote.
35:51
Speaker 1: Charged with DUI, burglary, grand theft, guard grand theft of

Speaker 1: law enforcement equipment separate charged, reckless driving, refusal to sbmit
35:57
Speaker 1: the du to and resisting arrest without vile. What was that, Joe?
36:06
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's capable of getting an ID card. Well,
36:08
Speaker 1: he's not a woman and he's not a person of color, Joe,
36:11
Speaker 1: so of course he had an ID card. Don't go away.
36:14
Speaker 1: Have plenty to talk about the six o'clock hourd welcome
36:16
Speaker 1: phone calls. I'll be right back radio.
36:18
Speaker 10: Pull it out that I wouldn't be able to list.
36:20
Speaker 1: Fifty five KR see the talk station in six or
36:29
Speaker 1: five and fifty five KR see the talk station. Bryan
36:31
Speaker 1: Thomas right here, wishing everybody very happy Friday. He's looking
36:34
Speaker 1: forward to seven thirty. First guests line up had a change.
36:37
Speaker 1: We originally had Congressman Warren Davidson. He had to take
36:40
Speaker 1: a pass conflict and then you know, prayers for iHeart
36:43
Speaker 1: media aviation expert Jay Ratlife and notably his wife, whose
36:46
Speaker 1: best friend sadly lost her daughter in an automobile accent.
36:50
Speaker 1: So he is not around. I had to go off
36:52
Speaker 1: and visit her, and God bless that family and prayers
36:55
Speaker 1: to them. I know Jay Ratliffe welcomes prayers. He is
36:58
Speaker 1: a very prayerful man himself. So mish having him on today,
37:01
Speaker 1: but certainly understand the circumstances. Josh Garth going to join us.
37:05
Speaker 1: Congratulations Josh Kirth. He is now the Hamilton County GOP
37:08
Speaker 1: leader after the election pretty handily beat the OPPONENTUS Bob Rulman.
37:13
Speaker 1: So Josh's going to show up at eight oh five,
37:14
Speaker 1: and he is really actively in connection with Hamilton County politics,
37:18
Speaker 1: from my understanding from his comments which I read in
37:20
Speaker 1: the paper, going to try to do something about the
37:22
Speaker 1: Hamilton County judiciary and maybe try to get some tough
37:25
Speaker 1: on law enforcement judges there, which we definitely need. That's
37:29
Speaker 1: my opinion. Anyway, I feel free to counter it by
37:31
Speaker 1: calling me up. Signal ninety nine eight thirty with Signal
37:34
Speaker 1: ninety nine hilarious op ed piece by a guy named
37:37
Speaker 1: Bill wein Weber. I don't know what he thinks. Signal
37:39
Speaker 1: ninety nine. Oh's in an Internet age. Public authority demands
37:44
Speaker 1: public accountability. I guess he's a little upset because her
37:46
Speaker 1: sources are anonymous. Why might her sources be anonymous because
37:50
Speaker 1: they work for the law enforcement agencies and for the
37:52
Speaker 1: fire department and for other organizations, you know, government entities
37:56
Speaker 1: that might be a little upset that they are leaking.
37:59
Speaker 1: Story is the signal ninety nine that we all should
38:01
Speaker 1: know about stories that are widely reported, stories that are
38:04
Speaker 1: picked up by reporters. She's got like thirty four thousand
38:08
Speaker 1: followers on Facebook, obviously very popular anyhow, So well, I
38:14
Speaker 1: know I'll be going over this these comments from this
38:16
Speaker 1: bill wein Werber guy with her, because anyway I found
38:19
Speaker 1: him rather comical. Welcome to the Internet, bill Signal ninety
38:22
Speaker 1: nine of what's going on in reading with their police chief,
38:26
Speaker 1: this op ed piece and on Josh Girth comment or
38:29
Speaker 1: two on that she actually backed Josh Girth. I'm not
38:32
Speaker 1: quite sure if she had supported any local politicians prior
38:35
Speaker 1: to this, but she did get she did endorse Josh
38:38
Speaker 1: Girth in advance of the hemlin Kindty Gop election. And
38:41
Speaker 1: whether or not that helped him or not, obviously he won.
38:44
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna go and head and say yes
38:46
Speaker 1: it did. Uh five three seven four ninety eight hundred
38:50
Speaker 1: and eight two three talk pound five fifty on at
38:52
Speaker 1: and T phones pivoting over. Yeah, more missile strikes and
38:55
Speaker 1: Iran defensive though the CeaseFire's not over. Just keep laughing
38:58
Speaker 1: about that limited defensive an escalation that would collapse attenuous ceasefire.
39:03
Speaker 1: No casualties, thankfully. So we shot down some drones. Four
39:08
Speaker 1: of them specifically blew up the drone launching facility before
39:12
Speaker 1: the fifth one could be launched. So this was the
39:14
Speaker 1: Iranians launching these drones strikes. He also shot one at Kuwait.
39:18
Speaker 1: They came under attack today this morning. Early Kuwait military
39:21
Speaker 1: said intercepted hostile missiles and drone attacks and told the
39:24
Speaker 1: residents to see cover. And then the Iran Revolutionary Guard
39:27
Speaker 1: claimed that it struck a US base. And I haven't
39:29
Speaker 1: seen any confirmation or deny all of that, but let's
39:32
Speaker 1: assume for the sake of discussion, since missiles are flying
39:35
Speaker 1: back and forth, it maybe they did. And then there's
39:38
Speaker 1: this weird thing about the the peace negotiations. Donald Trump,
39:45
Speaker 1: of course has put in the forefront of everything. He's
39:48
Speaker 1: pretty much said about this, We're going to deal with
39:51
Speaker 1: the uranium. We are going to get it out of
39:53
Speaker 1: the country. We will destroy it, we will let some
39:56
Speaker 1: other country take it in other words, the Iranians are
39:58
Speaker 1: not going to have it, and they're not going to
39:59
Speaker 1: be enriching anymore. The Iranians claim that isn't even a
40:01
Speaker 1: subject of the discussions are having. Now, how do you
40:03
Speaker 1: do I mean this is a polar opposite. Meanwhile, yes,
40:09
Speaker 1: you and I are left in the dark to make
40:10
Speaker 1: up our own minds about what's really going on. All
40:14
Speaker 1: the while, the problems are really starting to pile up
40:19
Speaker 1: in terms of our economy. Obviously, oil prices jumped on
40:24
Speaker 1: on these most recent missile strikes, up one point twenty
40:28
Speaker 1: seven to one point five percent in early trading, and
40:33
Speaker 1: grocery store grocery prices are going through the roof. And
40:35
Speaker 1: this is really causing problems because you know, damn well,
40:38
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline, the price of diesel fuel, necessarily
40:41
Speaker 1: increases the price of groceries because we absolutely live on
40:46
Speaker 1: petroleum products most ugly. When you look at the world
40:50
Speaker 1: and all the things that are made from petroleum, no
40:53
Speaker 1: wonder everything's going up. So it's a problem for the
40:56
Speaker 1: November election. I just wish people would look at everything
40:58
Speaker 1: logically and reasonably realize this is going to be temporary,
41:02
Speaker 1: whatever temporary means. We've all lived through giant increases in
41:06
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline and dips in the price of gasoline.
41:08
Speaker 1: It never ever stays the same. At least this time
41:12
Speaker 1: we can trace it to a specific conflict, a conflict
41:15
Speaker 1: that many think is the right thing to do, because
41:17
Speaker 1: the Iranians are a pain in everybody's ass. That's being
41:20
Speaker 1: gentle on the Iranians. When Obama did it and when
41:28
Speaker 1: Biden did it, they did it intentionally. He gave Barack
41:33
Speaker 1: Obama a second term. He told you one of the
41:35
Speaker 1: price of gasoline to go up, you know what, and
41:36
Speaker 1: that means grocery prices are going to go up, because
41:38
Speaker 1: again it's all connected. So you know, evil Trump, Orange Man,
41:42
Speaker 1: with his war, he's the problem. We need to get
41:44
Speaker 1: rid of all the Republicans. I guess how come we
41:48
Speaker 1: didn't have that response when Obama told us all the
41:50
Speaker 1: price is going to go up and caused it to
41:54
Speaker 1: go up. Steve, Welcome to the morning, showing a very
41:56
Speaker 1: happy Friday, even to you, sir, Thanks for calling.
41:59
Speaker 4: Ye to do so.
42:00
Speaker 11: Looking forward to listener lunch. It's going to be number
42:03
Speaker 11: four for me and I drive over from Independence and
42:07
Speaker 11: we go to jungle Gyms in Eastgate about once every
42:11
Speaker 11: six weeks. So we're gonna we're going to eat before
42:16
Speaker 11: we go to Jungle Gyms and maybe not spend as
42:18
Speaker 11: much money there to a store hungry. I know that's like, MI,
42:23
Speaker 11: thank you buy garbage.
42:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. My wife and I go grocery shopping
42:28
Speaker 1: every weekend, and you know it's it's a it's a
42:30
Speaker 1: terrible thing to go to the grocery store when you're hungry.
42:32
Speaker 1: So that's a smart choice. I love going to Jungle
42:34
Speaker 1: Gym's places.
42:35
Speaker 11: Great, Yeah, and uh, it'll be fun. I actually looked
42:39
Speaker 11: up the place online. I've heard you talking about it
42:42
Speaker 11: the other day, and the menu looks good. I mean,
42:45
Speaker 11: it really looks like a nice place. We are looking
42:48
Speaker 11: forward to that.
42:49
Speaker 1: I assure you you will like it. Steve, you've never
42:51
Speaker 1: had a bad meal at Anderson Pub and girl, the
42:52
Speaker 1: burgers are really really good and some terrific folks own it,
42:56
Speaker 1: so you're you're you're going to be happy you went
42:57
Speaker 1: to that one. I'm looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday,
43:00
Speaker 1: anytime around eleven thirty twelve o'clock. For those listeners who
43:04
Speaker 1: don't know when to show up, show up when you
43:05
Speaker 1: want I'm usually there from about quarter after eleven until
43:08
Speaker 1: about one point thirty, especially if cribbage Mike shows up
43:11
Speaker 1: with his board, because they finish up the lunch with
43:13
Speaker 1: a cribbage game with my submarine or friend.
43:15
Speaker 11: Mike sounds like a winner. I was working Tuesday, but
43:20
Speaker 11: I'm able to listen to your show and I couldn't
43:22
Speaker 11: call in. You were talking about or you had people
43:25
Speaker 11: calling up a lot about crime in Cincinnati and it
43:28
Speaker 11: was after the weekend. I guess four people were shot
43:31
Speaker 11: or over the weekend or Monday, whatever it was. But
43:35
Speaker 11: it was a topic on Tuesday, and it is there's
43:40
Speaker 11: perception and there's reality exactly.
43:43
Speaker 4: Now.
43:44
Speaker 11: The problem is sometimes perception is correct and sometimes it's not.
43:52
Speaker 11: But once people perceive a city to not be safe,
43:58
Speaker 11: they believe it, whether it's real or not. Now, the
44:01
Speaker 11: way you solve it, and it's not going to be
44:03
Speaker 11: solved because the way you solve it is you have
44:07
Speaker 11: people in leadership positions who are leaders. When you have
44:12
Speaker 11: people in leadership positions that are are working on the
44:17
Speaker 11: resume to get the next job, going up the wrong
44:20
Speaker 11: of the ladder, and that might be the mayor yes,
44:23
Speaker 11: or you have people it's not going to change so
44:27
Speaker 11: right now. And I live in Kentucky. I go to
44:30
Speaker 11: a baseball game when we have a visitor from out
44:34
Speaker 11: of town. Sure, Other than that, why would I go there?
44:38
Speaker 11: We would go to the Symphony maybe once a year,
44:41
Speaker 11: usually around my birthday in April. We would go And
44:44
Speaker 11: that's it. Other than that, why would I go there?
44:47
Speaker 1: Well, Well, because you have available entertainment, food, and other
44:51
Speaker 1: options outside of the city of Cincinnati, that garden near you.
44:54
Speaker 1: That's the same that you make the same decision I do.
44:56
Speaker 1: And I was advocating, you know, don't turn your back
44:58
Speaker 1: on the city. I love Cincinnati. It's one of the
45:00
Speaker 1: reasons I moved back here because Chicago sucked. But once
45:03
Speaker 1: you lived in a city like Chicago, come back here
45:05
Speaker 1: and you realize how great we've got it. We take
45:07
Speaker 1: it for granted. And yes, it's got warts, it's got problems,
45:10
Speaker 1: and I hate the political direction the whole area has
45:11
Speaker 1: gone to. But it doesn't negate from the fact that
45:13
Speaker 1: the city has all kinds of things, you know, city city.
45:17
Speaker 1: We got the Symphony, which you mentioned, We've got music venues,
45:19
Speaker 1: You've got two major sports teams, the Reds in the Bengals,
45:22
Speaker 1: we've got soccer, we've got great restaurants. There are a
45:26
Speaker 1: ton of things that the city of Cincinnati offers that
45:28
Speaker 1: you really can only find in major Metropolmears at least
45:32
Speaker 1: used to. But you know it was a listener that
45:36
Speaker 1: called the other week about that, or last week or
45:38
Speaker 1: earlier this week. Don't turn your back on the city
45:40
Speaker 1: because realistically, the likelihood that you are going to be
45:44
Speaker 1: a victim of crime is real really still very low.
45:48
Speaker 1: Unless you're involved in criminal activity, you know, probably not
45:52
Speaker 1: going to happen. Yes, there are random acts of violence. Yes,
45:55
Speaker 1: people are held up at gunpoint. I understand all that,
45:57
Speaker 1: but there is strength in numbers. If you're there with
45:59
Speaker 1: a group of people, well, probably not gonna happen. Now
46:02
Speaker 1: that's not gonna say it's never gonna happen. But statistically,
46:05
Speaker 1: you know, making a decision of not going to downtown
46:07
Speaker 1: Cincinnai because you think you will be a victim of
46:09
Speaker 1: the crime, that is something that you've been sort of
46:12
Speaker 1: talked into or believe because well, the Internet, you're inundated
46:15
Speaker 1: with stories. One single story blows up, it makes national attention,
46:19
Speaker 1: and the minute you see that, you think the whole
46:21
Speaker 1: world is this unsafe, terrible place, notably the city of Cincinnati.
46:25
Speaker 1: Now I'm critical as I can the all day long
46:27
Speaker 1: about the ways the city's going, and what Mayor I
46:29
Speaker 1: have to have Pearl Ball is doing, and what City
46:31
Speaker 1: Manager Long is doing. The fact that Iris Rowley is
46:34
Speaker 1: in charge of something with regard to law enforcement all bad.
46:37
Speaker 1: But I still love the city, and I still appreciate
46:40
Speaker 1: what's there, and I'm not gonna turn my back on it.
46:43
Speaker 1: If i have an option closer to home, I'm gonna
46:46
Speaker 1: be like you. I'm probably gonna go closer to home.
46:49
Speaker 1: But for a ballgame, for a specific special meal at
46:52
Speaker 1: a specific special restaurant, for this symphony, you gotta go downtown,
46:57
Speaker 1: and you should six sixteen right now on the phone, Jay,
47:01
Speaker 1: I've held off on taking your call because I know
47:03
Speaker 1: you're going from six here CD talk station Happy Friday
47:09
Speaker 1: five three seven hundred eight two three talk pound five
47:13
Speaker 1: fifty on your AT and T phones. Let's jump over
47:15
Speaker 1: to the phone's Jay was kind enough to hold over
47:16
Speaker 1: the break. Welcome Jay, It's good to have you on
47:18
Speaker 1: the program this morning.
47:19
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, Brian. You're coming in clear on the
47:22
Speaker 9: iHeartMedia app. As I'm up here in New England.
47:24
Speaker 1: Oh cool.
47:25
Speaker 10: The listeners out there.
47:26
Speaker 9: Something that Joe and Brian will never tell you because
47:28
Speaker 9: they just won't they're too good, is if you'd listen
47:31
Speaker 9: to these guys. We need to listen to them this
47:33
Speaker 9: weekend whenever look up their episodes, listen to anything you
47:37
Speaker 9: miss because it helps these guys out. I Heeart's a
47:40
Speaker 9: big business and uh there there. I'm sure they've got
47:43
Speaker 9: all kinds of data of who's being listened to.
47:46
Speaker 4: So keep you.
47:47
Speaker 9: Guys rolling strong here.
47:48
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. And it is a treat you that
47:51
Speaker 1: the the streaming it does know when you know when
47:53
Speaker 1: you're listening and what you know what you're listening to,
47:55
Speaker 1: and it goes where people people are listening to the podcast,
47:58
Speaker 1: all of which is really good for the fifty five
48:00
Speaker 1: care see Morning Show. It's a lot better quote unquote
48:02
Speaker 1: ratings system than we used to have with meters out
48:05
Speaker 1: in the world. You had to wear like a beeper
48:07
Speaker 1: and he picked up what radio station you were looking
48:09
Speaker 1: listening to, and people would game the system. Statistically, there
48:13
Speaker 1: weren't enough out in the world to do a proper
48:14
Speaker 1: statistical sampling, so you never really could rely on them
48:17
Speaker 1: that much. But now with streaming, we do have accurate numbers,
48:20
Speaker 1: and I'm really really happy when I get to see
48:23
Speaker 1: the numbers of people streaming. It just it puts a
48:25
Speaker 1: smile on my face. It makes me well. It helps
48:27
Speaker 1: me get out of bed in the morning, because most days,
48:29
Speaker 1: I'm serious, I feel like I'm just talking to myself
48:32
Speaker 1: or looking at the screen and talking to Joe Strecker.
48:34
Speaker 1: So thank you and appreciate you mentioned the streaming.
48:37
Speaker 9: You're bet hey. The reason for the call is I
48:40
Speaker 9: think it was yesterday. I don't know all these days
48:42
Speaker 9: went together. I think you were talking to to Donovan
48:44
Speaker 9: O'Neill from Americans for Prosperity about the Republican Party in
48:48
Speaker 9: Hamilton County and when and how are the Republicans in
48:53
Speaker 9: Columbus or the Republican my favorite Republican organization Central Committee
48:57
Speaker 9: ever going to give you guys some attention down here.
49:01
Speaker 9: I thought about it, and I think we have to
49:04
Speaker 9: rethink what this Central Committee is and really what these
49:07
Speaker 9: rhinos are, and we need to hire somebody who understands
49:10
Speaker 9: the game, somebody like Jimmy has one who understands he's
49:14
Speaker 9: dealing with mobsters. And so what you do if he
49:17
Speaker 9: took a million dollars of his money.
49:19
Speaker 5: He spread it around.
49:21
Speaker 9: I think Matt Hoffman got one hundred thousand dollars of it.
49:24
Speaker 9: Central Committee I saw on an FTC filing he gave
49:26
Speaker 9: Central Committee ten thousand dollars and in return for his
49:30
Speaker 9: million dollar investment, Ohio politicians Republican controlled gave him six
49:36
Speaker 9: hundred and fifty million dollars of our money. That wasn't
49:39
Speaker 9: the Ohio Republican Party's money, that was our money. I
49:43
Speaker 9: think Iris Rowley would also be a good person that
49:47
Speaker 9: the Republican Party in Hamilton County if they could hire her.
49:51
Speaker 9: She's very effective at getting what she.
49:55
Speaker 5: Wants down here in the city.
49:57
Speaker 9: So we know what these people were called. The only
50:00
Speaker 9: the only question is what's the price? And I think
50:03
Speaker 9: if you guys could scrape together some money, I'm a
50:07
Speaker 9: meeting with Jimmy Haslin and Iris Rawley. They know how
50:10
Speaker 9: to deal with mobsters and mob bosses like the Rhinos
50:12
Speaker 9: and the cartel up in Columbus. You watch that county
50:16
Speaker 9: turn from blue to red with a quickness.
50:19
Speaker 4: It all just depends how much money you guys can
50:21
Speaker 4: pull together. Now I'm in for ten.
50:23
Speaker 9: Isn't that not for the first ten dollar bill.
50:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that it is? Is it the money? Because
50:29
Speaker 1: let's face it, we can't get.
50:31
Speaker 4: Them in power.
50:31
Speaker 6: Brian when gets them in power.
50:33
Speaker 9: And that's the only thing Matt Huffman gives it, almost
50:37
Speaker 9: said pineapple, the only thing Matt Huffman cares about.
50:41
Speaker 1: It may be but if you pay activists, they're going
50:45
Speaker 1: to show up and they're going to work for you.
50:46
Speaker 1: And maybe that's what the Republican Party Hilling Kenny needs
50:49
Speaker 1: to do is start hiring people for whatever dollars an
50:51
Speaker 1: hour that they're paying people, like, for example, to go
50:53
Speaker 1: after ice facilities even though they're advocating for criminal child
50:57
Speaker 1: rapists to be released. Who in the hell would argue
50:59
Speaker 1: for that? Maybe someone who is paid would do that.
51:02
Speaker 9: Jay, Well, sure, and I think it's easier. I don't
51:06
Speaker 9: think you have to figure it out. Just hire Jimmy
51:08
Speaker 9: Haslin or maybe the Brown family could sell the Bengals
51:12
Speaker 9: to the Haslin family. I mean that guy could like
51:15
Speaker 9: fill a seminar stadium for small business owners like me.
51:18
Speaker 9: Other than you know, the ethics is stealing your money
51:21
Speaker 9: and everybody else's money. I'd never do it, but he's
51:24
Speaker 9: got it.
51:25
Speaker 6: Down cold.
51:26
Speaker 10: Whenever he can spend.
51:27
Speaker 9: For every dollar he spends, he gets six hundred and
51:29
Speaker 9: seventy five dollars of a hoe taxpayer money. Yeah, that's
51:33
Speaker 9: how you're going to win. And we got to stop
51:34
Speaker 9: thinking that this Republican Party is a Republican party of
51:37
Speaker 9: old of small government, financial fiscal hawks, low spending, high freedom. No.
51:45
Speaker 4: No, well some.
51:46
Speaker 9: Of them still are like Warren Davidson, Jim Jordan. There's
51:49
Speaker 9: some good ones, there's some great ones. Well, let me
51:51
Speaker 9: to root out these rhinos.
51:53
Speaker 1: We pose a rhetorical question to you. Since Jimmy Haslin
51:55
Speaker 1: got these six hundred million dollars taxpayers thanks to the
51:59
Speaker 1: repub Reupblicans in Columbus budget. Right, if you went out
52:04
Speaker 1: into the world and you mentioned Jimmy Haslin and to
52:07
Speaker 1: someone randomly on the street, hey, do you know about
52:09
Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslin and the six hundred million dollars? Now you
52:12
Speaker 1: and I would know exactly what that question was referring to.
52:15
Speaker 1: How many people in the state do you think really
52:18
Speaker 1: are aware of that? How many people pay attention? So
52:20
Speaker 1: it was the politics. They know about one line item
52:22
Speaker 1: in Ohio's budget. So that's the problem that goes I know,
52:26
Speaker 1: and that goes back to your Central Committee comments. That
52:28
Speaker 1: goes back to elections and primaries. How many people pay
52:31
Speaker 1: close attention to the candidates they're voting for, so much
52:34
Speaker 1: so that they don't just blindly look at R or
52:36
Speaker 1: D or the pink or the blue slip and just
52:39
Speaker 1: punch the button they're filling, the filling the little box
52:42
Speaker 1: and go about their merry way. The problem is people
52:44
Speaker 1: don't pay attention, and that's how we end up in
52:47
Speaker 1: a sorry state we are in Hey.
52:49
Speaker 9: One last, one last comment. The bigger question is how
52:52
Speaker 9: many Republicans voted against given Jimmy Haslin who your rights
52:55
Speaker 9: lies underneath the radar?
52:57
Speaker 4: Michelle Tesca.
52:58
Speaker 9: I talked to her.
52:59
Speaker 4: She's in my report as Enada.
53:01
Speaker 9: I think she said she was one of three that
53:04
Speaker 9: voted not to give Jimmy has one six hundred and
53:08
Speaker 9: some million dollars of Ohio tax payer money. So let
53:11
Speaker 9: tell you how broad this problem is or opportunity. Yes,
53:15
Speaker 9: if you want to go buy some Republicans that they're
53:17
Speaker 9: ready to be bought man.
53:18
Speaker 1: So apparently, and you know what it is as crazy
53:21
Speaker 1: as given a private sports team six hundred million dollars
53:24
Speaker 1: in hot taxpayers. Maybe they all voted for it, with
53:27
Speaker 1: the exception of three, because they knew they could get
53:30
Speaker 1: away with it and would not be held accountable because
53:32
Speaker 1: people generally speaking, don't pay any attention. And of course
53:36
Speaker 1: ud sending us on a highway to help Jay absolutely see.
53:40
Speaker 9: Absolutely, don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat.
53:43
Speaker 7: Have a good day, Brian.
53:44
Speaker 1: Just pay attention and then by default you won't vote ryation.
53:51
Speaker 1: If you've got KIRCD talk stations, how for it? The
53:54
Speaker 1: local stories talking about drug use earlier in the program, Yeah,
54:00
Speaker 1: supply is going to be there all the time. It's
54:01
Speaker 1: the demand that's the problem. People making stupid decisions and
54:04
Speaker 1: taking drugs. I don't think it has anything to do
54:06
Speaker 1: with anything other than people making stupid decisions and taking drugs.
54:10
Speaker 1: That's what it boils down to. The problem is the
54:11
Speaker 1: end user deciding that they want to take drugs in
54:13
Speaker 1: spite of all the risks and warning that we all
54:15
Speaker 1: know about been taught to us, taught to us in
54:17
Speaker 1: our public education. Again, I use my own personal education
54:21
Speaker 1: to illustrate that. I'm sixty. I went through K through
54:24
Speaker 1: twelve education, right, and we were hearing about the eels
54:28
Speaker 1: or the evils and ills are drugs since I was
54:30
Speaker 1: a little kid, so I didn't take them. Anyway, we
54:35
Speaker 1: have a spiking overdose tests. Here's a red fly. If
54:38
Speaker 1: you're out there, you getting ready to take drugs, you
54:39
Speaker 1: buy them on the street, you might die. It is
54:41
Speaker 1: likely perhaps you're going to die anyway. A spike in
54:43
Speaker 1: drug overdose is here in Hamilton County since May twenty
54:46
Speaker 1: second public health issues. Have any public health officials issuing
54:49
Speaker 1: an alert Hamilton County Office of Addiction Response, So this
54:53
Speaker 1: sous a spiking over to deaths. In the last couple
54:56
Speaker 1: of weeks, According to Tom's signing, Chief of Police and
54:59
Speaker 1: the village in Newtown, we had about a dozen suspected
55:02
Speaker 1: overdose deaths in about four days, some of those several
55:05
Speaker 1: of those being in one day. Twelve overdose deaths suspected
55:11
Speaker 1: anyway occur between May twenty second and twenty seventh. Four
55:16
Speaker 1: of the seven deaths happened Saturday. There were five overdose
55:21
Speaker 1: related emergency room visits on Memorial Day. He said, we
55:24
Speaker 1: see a rash of overdose deaths, overdose deaths, suspected overdose
55:28
Speaker 1: deaths like this. It's sending red flags to us what's
55:32
Speaker 1: in the supply that's changed, he asked. Is there a
55:35
Speaker 1: certain group of people that it's hitting. He asked, yes,
55:41
Speaker 1: drug users and narrow that down pretty quickly, didn't I
55:46
Speaker 1: And of course it's tragic for families. I can't you know,
55:49
Speaker 1: discount the fact that losing a loved one is awful.
55:54
Speaker 1: Simon said. The Trump administration's cracked down on the southern
55:57
Speaker 1: border has been effective in reducing the meta of fentanyl
55:59
Speaker 1: get into the neighborhoods. But drug cartels are finding other
56:03
Speaker 1: ways of distributing it. Why because people demand it In
56:08
Speaker 1: spite of the deaths that may be related to it,
56:11
Speaker 1: they're still going to take it. Crazy, absolutely, someone wrote
56:15
Speaker 1: Darwin on the top of this article. Low supply, it's
56:19
Speaker 1: reported changing the potency of the drug. The dealers have
56:23
Speaker 1: to make up for the fentanyl shortages by adding what
56:26
Speaker 1: signing calls a cocktail of other substances which make it
56:29
Speaker 1: more dangerous. There's a red flag for you. Put that
56:32
Speaker 1: in your education arsenal as well. And here's the big problem,
56:39
Speaker 1: they said, it's not always the chronic user. It could
56:41
Speaker 1: be someone who has back pain as they get what
56:43
Speaker 1: they think is good prescription pills. Online red flag. It
56:48
Speaker 1: could be a high school or college kid who buys
56:50
Speaker 1: what they think is adderall and it has fentanyl in it.
56:53
Speaker 1: Now that's the real problem from my perspective, because we
56:56
Speaker 1: have a bunch of kids out there. They don't have
56:58
Speaker 1: a prescription for adderall. They find out how great it
57:00
Speaker 1: makes you feel, and how it's going to keep you
57:02
Speaker 1: awake and keep you focused. Maybe you're cramming for exams.
57:05
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a conversation with your young people. Don't
57:07
Speaker 1: take any street drugs. It's going to have something deadly
57:11
Speaker 1: in it. Assume that and just say no. Period. That's
57:17
Speaker 1: easy to say, isn't it. It's the follow through that
57:21
Speaker 1: seems to be the big challenge for everyone out in
57:22
Speaker 1: the world. Six thirty five Right now, Oh, Maureen is
57:24
Speaker 1: on the line. Morrinen, hang on a second. I want
57:26
Speaker 1: to get your call, but amount of time it's six
57:28
Speaker 1: forty I fIF you got PIRCD Talk Station. A very
57:30
Speaker 1: happy Friday Eve to you. Peter Bronson gonna be talking
57:35
Speaker 1: to us about the forty ninth anniversary of the Beverly
57:37
Speaker 1: Hill Supper Club fire. Covered up with seven thirty first
57:39
Speaker 1: guest on the Morning show for some changes and some
57:41
Speaker 1: cancelations and again prayers for the family of the best
57:47
Speaker 1: friend or the wife of I heard me the aviation
57:49
Speaker 1: expert Jay while of her best friend lost their daughter
57:52
Speaker 1: in a car accident, so he can't be on today
57:54
Speaker 1: and just tragic when you hear about something like that.
57:56
Speaker 1: So he would like prayers, and I am extending an
57:58
Speaker 1: offer to you to help out on a prayer for note,
58:02
Speaker 1: since I Jay is a very very spiritual man. Without
58:05
Speaker 1: further ado, welcome back to the Video five Karrise Morning Show. Maureene.
58:09
Speaker 1: Finally hit it right open line and you can get
58:11
Speaker 1: on and talk about it. It's good to hear from
58:13
Speaker 1: you this morning, Maureene.
58:15
Speaker 12: Good morning, Brian. You were mentioning a little bit ago
58:18
Speaker 12: about the uranium and how important it is for Trump
58:21
Speaker 12: to get that from Iran, and you know my prediction
58:25
Speaker 12: I made a few weeks ago was that it's important
58:28
Speaker 12: to know that the nuclear fallout this and through the isotopes,
58:32
Speaker 12: and it can determine where the material came from through
58:35
Speaker 12: a process called nuclear forensics where scientists they analyze the
58:39
Speaker 12: unique isotope ratios in the debris and then they can
58:42
Speaker 12: they can create a fingerprint that can identify the specific
58:46
Speaker 12: reactor or the enrichment facility where the material was produced.
58:50
Speaker 1: I find that amazing. I just have to take your
58:52
Speaker 1: word for it. I haven't gone out and independently researched
58:55
Speaker 1: that topic, but you know that they can do that.
58:56
Speaker 1: It seems just really amazing from my perspective.
59:00
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, they could even track it to the mine
59:02
Speaker 12: where they're all was mined in a lot of cases.
59:05
Speaker 12: So that's why I think you know your color, Bobby's
59:07
Speaker 12: looking for over under betting things. And if you combine
59:12
Speaker 12: that information with how important it is to Trump, and
59:15
Speaker 12: then you look at what happened recently with Senator Chuck Grassley.
59:18
Speaker 12: He resurrected an old FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation
59:22
Speaker 12: and their donations to a Russian uranium one deal. And
59:27
Speaker 12: if people don't know Uranium one, it was a Canadian
59:30
Speaker 12: mining company that the acquisitions were by a company that
59:34
Speaker 12: was co owned by a major Clinton Foundation donor, and
59:37
Speaker 12: they created a significant amount of the US uranium assets
59:41
Speaker 12: about twenty percent. And they you know, if you're a
59:44
Speaker 12: betting person, you might want to look into this, that
59:47
Speaker 12: the uranium one was sold the uranium or US uranium
59:51
Speaker 12: was sold through Russia. Maybe to Canada and ended up
59:55
Speaker 12: in Iran, and you know that would be a pay
59:57
Speaker 12: to play scheme.
59:58
Speaker 6: Oh oh.
1:00:00
Speaker 1: Suggestion is that the uranium that Iran enriched came from
1:00:05
Speaker 1: the previously owned by the Canadian source of uranium.
1:00:11
Speaker 12: Source that well through the Clinton Foundation.
1:00:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean the Clinton Foundation I think facilitated
1:00:17
Speaker 1: the sale the uranium producing company to the Russians. But
1:00:21
Speaker 1: the point being is it came from here and it
1:00:23
Speaker 1: ended up in Iran's hands thanks to the Russians, or
1:00:28
Speaker 1: in your mind, thanks to the Clinton Foundation.
1:00:30
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's where my mind is. Yeah, there you go.
1:00:34
Speaker 12: I followed my path.
1:00:35
Speaker 1: I followed the path, Marion, I know where you're going.
1:00:37
Speaker 1: All right. Well, so through the nuclear forensics that you
1:00:42
Speaker 1: spoke about earlier, you think ultimately that is exactly what's
1:00:44
Speaker 1: going to be revealed. Yes, well, we got we got
1:00:48
Speaker 1: to get in there and get some of the uranium
1:00:49
Speaker 1: dust then to do the analysis.
1:00:51
Speaker 2: Don't we Yes, we do.
1:00:53
Speaker 12: It's so important.
1:00:54
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I guess I'm still puzzled by the National
1:00:58
Speaker 1: Security Council Deputy Secretary for Iran claiming that no, they
1:01:02
Speaker 1: are not talking at all about uranium during the peace settlement.
1:01:08
Speaker 12: I think that's going to change.
1:01:10
Speaker 1: Well, wake up tomorrow.
1:01:12
Speaker 12: The article over the did you see the article over
1:01:14
Speaker 12: the weekend where Trump provides update on Iran dealing options
1:01:17
Speaker 12: for disposal of their rich geranium. Yeah, that was Saturday,
1:01:22
Speaker 12: and he came out with that statement Monday on truth
1:01:25
Speaker 12: Social I don't know, has there been something since then?
1:01:28
Speaker 4: Yeah?
1:01:29
Speaker 1: What I just read to you the idea that yesterday
1:01:31
Speaker 1: the National Security Dot Council Deputy Secretary Ali Bakari said
1:01:35
Speaker 1: that no, the talks were focusing only on reopening the
1:01:38
Speaker 1: commercial transit in the Straits of Horror Moves and that
1:01:41
Speaker 1: uranium is not part of the conversation with the American negotiators,
1:01:45
Speaker 1: contradicting everything that the White House has been saying. This
1:01:48
Speaker 1: is the thing that really got me irked about that
1:01:49
Speaker 1: when I was ranting about it this morning. You know,
1:01:51
Speaker 1: you wake up and it's like, we're talking about this,
1:01:53
Speaker 1: We're talking about this, We're that close to a deal.
1:01:55
Speaker 1: The Iranians come out and say, no, we're not even
1:01:56
Speaker 1: close at all, And now we're not even talking about uranium.
1:01:59
Speaker 1: Where are we in this? I don't know. I don't
1:02:00
Speaker 1: think anybody could possibly know.
1:02:03
Speaker 12: Well, my prediction is that it will be back on
1:02:06
Speaker 12: the table right fruitful.
1:02:08
Speaker 1: And Bobby's over and under is seven from deaths by
1:02:10
Speaker 1: our for shootings in the city of Cincinnati. Moreen's prediction
1:02:14
Speaker 1: is that someday we're going to find out that the
1:02:15
Speaker 1: uranium came from well, the Clinton Foundation effectively.
1:02:20
Speaker 12: Yes, and the Obama administration.
1:02:23
Speaker 1: Fair enough, ma Reen, Yeah, I know what point in
1:02:25
Speaker 1: time we were into that. God bless you, Marine. I
1:02:27
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Keep following the patterns, Maureene. You can always
1:02:30
Speaker 1: call in and talk about her here on the Morning show.
1:02:32
Speaker 1: And you're streaming from Florida this morning, Mariene, not this morning.
1:02:37
Speaker 12: Usually from Florida though, but not today.
1:02:39
Speaker 1: Another shout out to you from everywhere I go. I
1:02:42
Speaker 1: know you do, and I truly appreciate it. And a
1:02:44
Speaker 1: shout out to Corey who let me know that he's
1:02:46
Speaker 1: streaming from Mary in Ohio and of course New Hampshire,
1:02:48
Speaker 1: Gary and others. It just is really cool working with
1:02:51
Speaker 1: the iHeartMedia app Thank you very much, Maureen. Take care
1:02:54
Speaker 1: six forty five. Right now talk station station Cribbage, Mike
1:03:03
Speaker 1: chimed in Submarine or Mike he's listening streaming in his
1:03:07
Speaker 1: words from the bowels of the hard rock casino where
1:03:10
Speaker 1: he is the eye in the sky gambling at the
1:03:12
Speaker 1: hard Rock. Mike's got his eye on you. So anyway,
1:03:15
Speaker 1: good morning, Mike. I look forward to seeing next Wednesday listener,
1:03:17
Speaker 1: lunch and Anderson Pub and grill. Everybody's invited. Uh yeah,
1:03:20
Speaker 1: and tomorrow's coming about this again? Who in the hell
1:03:24
Speaker 1: knows what's going on? So we've got National Security Council
1:03:29
Speaker 1: Wuty Secretary Aldi Bakari said yesterday that talks were focusing
1:03:33
Speaker 1: only on opening the straight of horror moves. And we
1:03:35
Speaker 1: again we launched some missile defensive only missile strikes in
1:03:37
Speaker 1: Iranian drone drones were launched at some targets, including our
1:03:41
Speaker 1: boats and facilities, and Kuwait got it attacked as well,
1:03:44
Speaker 1: so we're shooting those down. We responded by blowing up
1:03:46
Speaker 1: the drone facility. So it's a ceasefire right Anyway. The
1:03:50
Speaker 1: Cars claim that Richard Uranium is not part of the
1:03:53
Speaker 1: conversation with the American negotiators, which of course contradicts exactly
1:03:56
Speaker 1: the opposite statements from the White House. Trump just I
1:04:00
Speaker 1: mean he assisted White House will that Washington will not
1:04:03
Speaker 1: sign on any peace agreement that doesn't include long term
1:04:05
Speaker 1: limits on Irani and nuclear development. He said that millions
1:04:08
Speaker 1: and millions of times. According to this Barceri guy, the
1:04:11
Speaker 1: talks are yielding a little bit of progress, but do
1:04:14
Speaker 1: not have anything to do with the stockpile off his
1:04:15
Speaker 1: saw material, insisting that a rich uranium was not on
1:04:19
Speaker 1: the agenda of the talks. That's in quotes the Tasnim
1:04:23
Speaker 1: news report on this a declaration from the Iranian state
1:04:30
Speaker 1: television claiming that a draft peace agreement exists to address
1:04:34
Speaker 1: the situation in the Strait of Horror Moves Now. Their
1:04:37
Speaker 1: reports don't indicate that the alleged deal has anything to
1:04:40
Speaker 1: do with the illicit nuclear program, and the state broadcaster
1:04:43
Speaker 1: claimed that a new deal would allow for Iran to
1:04:45
Speaker 1: bring maritime traffic back through the Strait of Horror Moves
1:04:47
Speaker 1: back to its regular levels. Good, that's what we want,
1:04:51
Speaker 1: they say. Trump agreed to dramatically decrease America's military presence
1:04:54
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, which of course will happen if
1:04:56
Speaker 1: they get rid of the nuclear material and open up
1:04:58
Speaker 1: the strait. The United States would also allegedly agree to
1:05:02
Speaker 1: end its current blockade of Iranian vessels, which of course
1:05:04
Speaker 1: would logically happen in the event there's an agreement reached.
1:05:08
Speaker 1: But in response to this claim that there had been
1:05:11
Speaker 1: some elaked draft peace agreement, the White House denied it
1:05:19
Speaker 1: rapid response. Social media kind of announced that the report
1:05:22
Speaker 1: from the Iranian state media in their work is not
1:05:24
Speaker 1: true and that the memorandum of understanding that the Iranians
1:05:28
Speaker 1: released is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe what the
1:05:31
Speaker 1: Iranian state media is putting out well, and I'm sure
1:05:34
Speaker 1: the Iranian state media would say that no one should
1:05:36
Speaker 1: believe anything Donald Trump is saying. Now, I'm not drunk.
1:05:38
Speaker 1: I'm not saying somebody is lying and somebody's not. I
1:05:41
Speaker 1: just see there is a polar opposite, you know, presentation
1:05:45
Speaker 1: of the status and we're all then left in the
1:05:50
Speaker 1: in complete darkness over what's really going on. Should we
1:05:52
Speaker 1: have any hope that there's going to be something negotiated,
1:05:56
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would like to get some consistency
1:05:58
Speaker 1: in what I'm reading about it. It was just Monday,
1:06:02
Speaker 1: Trump said on his website It's Truth social media that
1:06:06
Speaker 1: negotiations were approaching an agreement to end Iranian possession of
1:06:11
Speaker 1: enriched uranium. He said the enriched uranium nuclear dust will
1:06:15
Speaker 1: either be immediately turned over to the US or to
1:06:17
Speaker 1: be brought home or destroyed and destroyed or preferably in
1:06:20
Speaker 1: connection and conjunction coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran,
1:06:24
Speaker 1: destroyed in place or at another acceptable location, with the
1:06:27
Speaker 1: Atomic Energy Commission or its equivalent being witnessed to this
1:06:30
Speaker 1: process and event close quote huh, sounds like you're talking
1:06:33
Speaker 1: about enriched uranium fog of war, fog a war. And
1:06:45
Speaker 1: aside from the inflation, another bit of a problem is
1:06:48
Speaker 1: manifesting itself. And I saw that the Ukrainians were asking
1:06:51
Speaker 1: for more Patriot missiles the other day. I don't know
1:06:53
Speaker 1: that we have any left. New analysis report released just
1:06:58
Speaker 1: yesterday said it could take years to restore several critical
1:07:04
Speaker 1: weapons systems that are being used up during the Iran war.
1:07:08
Speaker 1: According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the
1:07:12
Speaker 1: depleted inventories have created a window of vulnerability for a
1:07:16
Speaker 1: potential Western Pacific conflict. They found that US dockpiles a
1:07:22
Speaker 1: Tomahawk land attack missiles, along with two key missile defense systems,
1:07:27
Speaker 1: the terminal high Altitude Area defenses of the FAD and
1:07:31
Speaker 1: Patriot interceptors, were heavily depleted during the campaign Operation Epic Fury. Specifically,
1:07:38
Speaker 1: more than a thousand Tomahawk missiles reportedly deployed during that operation.
1:07:44
Speaker 1: Inventories not expected to return to pre war levels until
1:07:48
Speaker 1: late twenty thirty or early twenty thirty one. As far
1:07:55
Speaker 1: as the FAD and Patriot interceptors are concerned, they're projected
1:07:58
Speaker 1: to take at least three to replenish, according to the
1:08:03
Speaker 1: US Central Command. So when we talk about going full on,
1:08:11
Speaker 1: bomb droppy on Iran, if they don't come to the
1:08:13
Speaker 1: table and reach an agreement with us, you know, there's
1:08:15
Speaker 1: that pesky detail right there. Do we have enough to
1:08:17
Speaker 1: wage a war against Iran and go after them on
1:08:20
Speaker 1: that level? And can we handle being without the weapons
1:08:23
Speaker 1: we might need for other conflicts? God forbid we enter
1:08:27
Speaker 1: into one. But it sure puts us back on our
1:08:31
Speaker 1: heels a lot. And you know what, if I can
1:08:34
Speaker 1: read it and the report went out to the public
1:08:36
Speaker 1: at large, and it did, I've imagined the Chinese communist
1:08:40
Speaker 1: parties got hands their hands on this, and probably they
1:08:43
Speaker 1: have their own analysis and figures based upon intelligence of
1:08:47
Speaker 1: they have here in the United States strategically placed coming
1:08:52
Speaker 1: up afterby the Ardw's got a little bit of talking
1:08:53
Speaker 1: about and then thank god, Peter Bronson's going to join
1:08:55
Speaker 1: the show. It's the forty ninth anniversary of the Beverly
1:08:57
Speaker 1: Hills Supper Club fire. Peter's going to join us at
1:09:00
Speaker 1: seven point thirty. Time for phone calls between now and then.
1:09:03
Speaker 1: I'll be right back after the news. The iHeartRadio app.
1:09:06
Speaker 1: Where we put the app, it's seven six at fifty

1:09:53
Speaker 1: Nation of Suspects yesterday Scott Wartman from the City in
1:09:55
Speaker 1: questance enquire on the budget, which I got a laugh
1:09:58
Speaker 1: in my tone of voice there because of the local
1:10:00
Speaker 1: story out this morning, I want to dive on into here.
1:10:02
Speaker 1: It's been focusing largely on more national topics and of
1:10:05
Speaker 1: course global topics. Americans for a Prosperity is one small
1:10:08
Speaker 1: step campaign is there. And of course the brilliance of
1:10:11
Speaker 1: Jack avid In and the awesomeness of Joe Strekker's use
1:10:13
Speaker 1: of chat GPT rolled up into one post on the
1:10:16
Speaker 1: blog page, the Fall of Great Cities the Big Picture
1:10:19
Speaker 1: with Jack Avidan, and I love the graphic you did,
1:10:21
Speaker 1: Jos Trekker, a smiling Jack Avidan with a fiddle and
1:10:25
Speaker 1: his Nero wreath on his head while the city of
1:10:29
Speaker 1: Cincinnati burns behind. And speaking of the City of Cincinnati,
1:10:32
Speaker 1: we just talked about the budget the other day with
1:10:34
Speaker 1: Scott Wortman, and fun fact we learned this morning thanks
1:10:36
Speaker 1: to wcpo's Connor stuff and reporting, city officials are having
1:10:41
Speaker 1: to dig out of a lingering see I emphasize that,
1:10:46
Speaker 1: and no, I'm not going to talk about the problem
1:10:47
Speaker 1: with the roads that has been lingering problem for years
1:10:50
Speaker 1: and years while the city council and the mayor pursued
1:10:53
Speaker 1: different priorities, less important priorities for the constituents like so farms. Yes,
1:11:00
Speaker 1: I'm going having a go at that nonsense again. And
1:11:04
Speaker 1: on the heels of the request from the federal government
1:11:06
Speaker 1: for twenty five million dollars so we can put a
1:11:08
Speaker 1: lid over Fort Washington Way, which lid will cost hundreds
1:11:11
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. Presumably. The state of the Fleet
1:11:16
Speaker 1: presentation was given Tuesday. That will be the vehicles the
1:11:21
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati has to rely on to provide services
1:11:23
Speaker 1: to you and me, you know, like fire trucks. Anyway,
1:11:29
Speaker 1: the State of the Fleet presentation shed a little light
1:11:32
Speaker 1: on the problem we've got going on here Court. To
1:11:33
Speaker 1: the reporting, one hundred and nineteen vehicles currently meet the
1:11:36
Speaker 1: requirements for quote unquote priority replacement, but there is no
1:11:41
Speaker 1: replacement on order. That becomes a problem here, as we'll
1:11:43
Speaker 1: find out in a moment here, another three hundred and
1:11:45
Speaker 1: seventy six vehicles considered quote unquote out of life cycle
1:11:49
Speaker 1: with no current plans for repair or replacement. Now, out
1:11:55
Speaker 1: of life cycle meets two of three criteria I'll give
1:11:59
Speaker 1: the three criteria, and priority replacement meets all three those
1:12:02
Speaker 1: criteria vehicle age, vehicle mileage, and life to date maintenance costs,
1:12:08
Speaker 1: and that criteria has met when seventy five percent or
1:12:10
Speaker 1: more of the acquisition costs has been spent on maintenance.
1:12:12
Speaker 1: So you keep digging yourself into a maintenance hole. Gee,
1:12:15
Speaker 1: maybe we better buy something new because we're spending more
1:12:18
Speaker 1: on maintaining it. You get the idea on that one,
1:12:20
Speaker 1: Cheryl Long. In the budget proposed budget, I might underscore
1:12:24
Speaker 1: earmarked seventeen million dollars actually more than seventeen million dollars
1:12:29
Speaker 1: in the proposed budget to a capital fleet replacement. That's
1:12:31
Speaker 1: a four million dollar increase over last year. And there's
1:12:34
Speaker 1: that B word. But the cost to replace vehicles outpaces
1:12:40
Speaker 1: the allocation of money. Sounds to me like we're going
1:12:45
Speaker 1: to get even further behind and a problem is going
1:12:47
Speaker 1: to get even worse. We're good at that. The city
1:12:49
Speaker 1: is Cincinnati, aren't we, at least the leaders are. Fleet
1:12:51
Speaker 1: Service manager Liam Norton said. Over the years, this kind
1:12:54
Speaker 1: of compounded and we're at a point now where we're
1:12:58
Speaker 1: starting to get back out of that rut we've been
1:13:00
Speaker 1: in and I think eventually the goal would be to
1:13:02
Speaker 1: get to a proactive approach. Well, here's a brilliant idea.
1:13:09
Speaker 1: Get out ahead of a problem, anticipate it before it happens,
1:13:12
Speaker 1: make sure you have the resources allocated so when it
1:13:14
Speaker 1: does hit the fan, and it will because everything falls apart,
1:13:17
Speaker 1: eventually you'll have the money and resources already in place.
1:13:21
Speaker 1: That means you didn't spend it on something stupid or
1:13:23
Speaker 1: go further into debt for something stupid. Building something new
1:13:26
Speaker 1: that you're then gonna have to take care of. If
1:13:28
Speaker 1: you know, like for example, a cap over the Fort
1:13:30
Speaker 1: Washington Way, you'll build that, you're gonna have to maintain it.
1:13:36
Speaker 1: Iris Rowley, Joe, you have to maintain Iris Rowley with
1:13:41
Speaker 1: the six hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract. But see,
1:13:45
Speaker 1: they did anticipate, and they did allocate the resources, probably
1:13:48
Speaker 1: to the exclusion of maybe fixing a few lane miles
1:13:50
Speaker 1: a road. There's a thought. So here's your here's your
1:13:55
Speaker 1: proactive police proctive approach, which mister Norton described what would
1:14:01
Speaker 1: anticipating when high value equipment like fire trucks will near
1:14:06
Speaker 1: the end of their service and placing orders years in
1:14:09
Speaker 1: advance to account for the long lead times. And this
1:14:12
Speaker 1: is something I learned. You put an order in for
1:14:14
Speaker 1: a fire truck. Apparently, according to mister Norton, it's going
1:14:16
Speaker 1: to take at least three years to get it delivered.
1:14:18
Speaker 1: It's like ordering a Boeing aircraft. You may get it
1:14:22
Speaker 1: in ten years. So why don't we plan ahead for that?
1:14:25
Speaker 1: There's an idea. So if we had a fire truck
1:14:28
Speaker 1: that will be near end of its life in the
1:14:29
Speaker 1: near future, we can get that thing on order knowing
1:14:32
Speaker 1: that it has two or three year lead time. That's
1:14:35
Speaker 1: the spot we need to be in. It wouldn't prudent
1:14:37
Speaker 1: elected officials anticipate just that, is this some sort of
1:14:42
Speaker 1: like rocket science thing that mister Norton came up with?
1:14:45
Speaker 12: It?
1:14:45
Speaker 1: Oh man, nobody would ever think of that. He's brilliant
1:14:51
Speaker 1: to help prioritize vehicles to get replaced. First fleet service
1:14:56
Speaker 1: described as leaning into a new internal data dashboard. This dashboard,
1:15:01
Speaker 1: with modern technology computers, tracks life to date, costs, mileage,
1:15:08
Speaker 1: engineer's major component replacements, and overall age. You know what,
1:15:12
Speaker 1: You put the data into a database and there you
1:15:14
Speaker 1: have it, which allows you to predict when the thing's
1:15:17
Speaker 1: going to end its life. Allow you to order something
1:15:19
Speaker 1: in advance, which is going to require responsible elected officials
1:15:22
Speaker 1: to allocate the money to order it and be able
1:15:25
Speaker 1: to pay for it when it's delivered. And this isn't
1:15:28
Speaker 1: some bright and shiny, dangly object we're talking about. We're
1:15:32
Speaker 1: talking about police cars of fire trucks, important things for
1:15:36
Speaker 1: the safety and the good of the community, and that
1:15:39
Speaker 1: will be everyone in all communities. This isn't a thing
1:15:43
Speaker 1: of political stripe or neighborhood. This is something a service
1:15:45
Speaker 1: that we all desperately need, and I think the vast
1:15:47
Speaker 1: majority of us want in effective ready fire department and
1:15:51
Speaker 1: police department. So I like this reminder from Connors staff
1:16:00
Speaker 1: and over WCPO. The fleet struggles came into sharp focus
1:16:03
Speaker 1: in January of last year following winter Storm Blair, which
1:16:06
Speaker 1: put a sizeable number of the city's winter fleet vehicles
1:16:09
Speaker 1: out of service. Yeah, there's a been a problem with
1:16:12
Speaker 1: snow removal thanks to that failure to plan. Failure to plan.
1:16:17
Speaker 1: We need a new skateboard park forget about Oh, I
1:16:21
Speaker 1: don't know. Sunset was my favorite one. Since they did
1:16:24
Speaker 1: repay that, I can't poke fund at that anymore. But
1:16:28
Speaker 1: Montana I know. But you know they got a sign now, Joe,
1:16:32
Speaker 1: they promised they're going to do the work. I know
1:16:34
Speaker 1: they put a sign up. They had the money to
1:16:35
Speaker 1: build the sign. You know, your railroad buddy at work.
1:16:37
Speaker 1: You see, at least it's an existing infrastructure, so at
1:16:40
Speaker 1: least they didn't violate the rules. As we found it
1:16:42
Speaker 1: from Todd Zinzer. They're playing maybe fast and loose with
1:16:44
Speaker 1: the money and resource allocated. So the railroad money comes in,
1:16:50
Speaker 1: and of course they take that money and refund it
1:16:55
Speaker 1: with railroad money when they already allocated money out of
1:16:57
Speaker 1: the general fund to pay for the project. That frees
1:16:59
Speaker 1: up money in the general fund for them to work
1:17:01
Speaker 1: on things that are new, bright and shiny objects that
1:17:03
Speaker 1: will have to pay for down the road.
1:17:05
Speaker 4: HM.
1:17:06
Speaker 1: Going back to if we all paid closer attention to this,
1:17:09
Speaker 1: probably none of it would happen. So millions and millions
1:17:13
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars, millions of dollars five one, three, seven,
1:17:16
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk
1:17:19
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on eight and t phones coming up.
1:17:22
Speaker 1: I really want to if we can. I you know me,
1:17:24
Speaker 1: I'm a Second Amendment fan. We've got some uh, well,
1:17:28
Speaker 1: some great new news in the world of Second Amendment
1:17:31
Speaker 1: and some bad news as well. The Democrats are working
1:17:34
Speaker 1: desperately working to get rid of your firearms. We know
1:17:36
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a long time. You
1:17:37
Speaker 1: got to ask yourself why it's control. I think is
1:17:41
Speaker 1: really what a fundaillion comes down to. The Governor Wes Moore,
1:17:46
Speaker 1: Maryland just signed a law in on the books banning
1:17:49
Speaker 1: the sale of glocks and glock clones, a specific type
1:17:55
Speaker 1: of firearm. Why because they are machine gun convertible A
1:18:01
Speaker 1: glock switch, which I got to point out, is illegal.
1:18:06
Speaker 1: You can't put a block slitch switch on a glock.
1:18:09
Speaker 1: It converts into an automatic weapon. It's illegal. Owning a
1:18:12
Speaker 1: glock switch in and of itself is illegal, although finding
1:18:14
Speaker 1: a piece of plastic laying there not doing anything seems
1:18:17
Speaker 1: to me to be a struggle to make it illegal.
1:18:18
Speaker 1: But it is. So there's already laws on the book
1:18:20
Speaker 1: for that. But now they want to take the glocks away.
1:18:22
Speaker 1: Why because gangs and street criminals convert their glocks otherwise
1:18:27
Speaker 1: lawfully owned by anyone unless you're under a disability and
1:18:31
Speaker 1: therefore are not lawfully entitled to carry one. A lot
1:18:34
Speaker 1: of gang members are like that, but they carry them anyway.
1:18:38
Speaker 1: But because theoretically it can be converted to fully automatic,
1:18:43
Speaker 1: you're taking them away from everyone. Most popular firearm on
1:18:47
Speaker 1: the planet. You know, I own a couple of them.
1:18:49
Speaker 1: They really are a great gun. I mean, I'm not,
1:18:51
Speaker 1: da'ren't my favorite, but if you talk about reliability in
1:18:54
Speaker 1: a pinch, they're going to work. But it would make
1:18:58
Speaker 1: me a criminal in Maryland, I suppose, because it could
1:19:04
Speaker 1: be converted into a fully automatic weapon by some criminal
1:19:10
Speaker 1: who would do that. Theoretically it can be done. Therefore,
1:19:15
Speaker 1: no one gets one seven fifteen fifty five KR SED
1:19:19
Speaker 1: talk station Fast and Pro roofing. My favorite folks over
1:19:22
Speaker 1: at Fast and Pro the best in the business. I
1:19:23
Speaker 1: can just care see the talk station coming up on
1:19:29
Speaker 1: seven twenty one fifty five KRC detalk station. When we
1:19:32
Speaker 1: get to the phones five one three fifty, five hundred,
1:19:35
Speaker 1: eight hundred and two to three talk to Pound five
1:19:36
Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen T phones. Dave, just one moment here,
1:19:38
Speaker 1: just an exclamation point, because, of course, in response to
1:19:41
Speaker 1: Maryland's ban on glocks and glock clones, uh, the Second
1:19:47
Speaker 1: Amendment Foundation is already fut a lawsuit saying it's this
1:19:49
Speaker 1: is unconstitutional point being quote this Maryland law bans nearly
1:19:54
Speaker 1: every glock and glock style handgun on the market today.
1:19:57
Speaker 1: These pistols are among the most popular on the market,
1:19:59
Speaker 1: chosen over in overwhelming numbers by peaceable citizens for lawful
1:20:03
Speaker 1: purposes like self defense. Maryland is now attempted to ban
1:20:06
Speaker 1: these firearms because a subset of criminals illegally modifies them
1:20:11
Speaker 1: using conversion parts that are themselves illegal or possessed, and
1:20:15
Speaker 1: then commits crimes with the modified handguns. Not only is
1:20:18
Speaker 1: this law a fool as foolish as banning hops and
1:20:21
Speaker 1: barley to prevent drunk driving. I love that point, but
1:20:25
Speaker 1: these commonly owned arms are clearly protected by the Second Amendment,
1:20:28
Speaker 1: the ratification of which takes certain policy choices, including this one,
1:20:33
Speaker 1: off the table. Amen. Thank you Dave for indulging me there.
1:20:39
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show, and thanks for calling.
1:20:43
Speaker 8: Good morning.
1:20:43
Speaker 2: How you doing.
1:20:44
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good all things considered.
1:20:47
Speaker 8: Well, I was calling really about the tobacco products that
1:20:52
Speaker 8: are sold and the government is handed billions and billions
1:20:55
Speaker 8: of dollars for revenue when tobacco products kill over one
1:20:59
Speaker 8: hundred and eighty Americans every year and gun violence and
1:21:03
Speaker 8: gunshots only kill fifty to sixty thousand, which is horrible.
1:21:07
Speaker 8: Yeah in the first place, Yeah, I hear about get
1:21:11
Speaker 8: rid of cigarettes.
1:21:12
Speaker 7: You know.
1:21:12
Speaker 8: I mean, if I want to grow to the back
1:21:13
Speaker 8: of my backyard, I should be allowed to smoke cigarettes.
1:21:16
Speaker 8: But why are they still produced when they kill so many,
1:21:20
Speaker 8: hundreds of thousands of people?
1:21:21
Speaker 1: Uh money? Well, yeah, no, that's I take day. That's it.
1:21:27
Speaker 1: You know you're far left. I want to control every
1:21:29
Speaker 1: aspect of your life. Democrats never advocate for banning tobacco
1:21:33
Speaker 1: sales all across the board. Why because their cities are
1:21:36
Speaker 1: desperate for any form of revenue. They tax the living
1:21:39
Speaker 1: hell out of cigarettes, and they're basically there there there.
1:21:42
Speaker 7: Uh.
1:21:43
Speaker 1: Their structure is built on cigarette tax revenue.
1:21:47
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:21:47
Speaker 11: Uh.
1:21:48
Speaker 8: Before COVID came around, I was paying eight I have
1:21:51
Speaker 8: a knee eight fifty for a pack of cigarettes. Now
1:21:53
Speaker 8: paying thirteen dollars for a pack of cigarettes. I know
1:21:56
Speaker 8: I'm an idiot for smoking the stupid things and they're
1:21:59
Speaker 8: most likely get, you know, get the best of me
1:22:01
Speaker 8: over time. Yet thing about the gun, and it's a
1:22:04
Speaker 8: gun protects you and it can seed you.
1:22:07
Speaker 7: A cigarette.
1:22:07
Speaker 8: Tobacco products don't do either one of them except for
1:22:10
Speaker 8: kill you. And I'm sure there's more people in this
1:22:12
Speaker 8: country that been touched by somebody dying from tobacco products
1:22:15
Speaker 8: than gunshots.
1:22:16
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:22:17
Speaker 8: And the other thing about gunshots is half of them
1:22:19
Speaker 8: are suicides, and seventy five percent of all suicides are men,
1:22:22
Speaker 8: and I wonder why that is too.
1:22:23
Speaker 1: It's a good point. That's we got a serious mental
1:22:26
Speaker 1: health problem in this country. And I think you know
1:22:28
Speaker 1: here going back to the drug thing, the drug problem
1:22:30
Speaker 1: is because people choose to take drugs. Cigarettes obviously a drug.
1:22:33
Speaker 1: It's nicotine that you're after, and I get it. There
1:22:36
Speaker 1: are alternatives now, welcome to modern science. You can get
1:22:39
Speaker 1: a zen pouch and get the nicotine you want. It
1:22:41
Speaker 1: won't be carcinogenicallyas as far as I understand. There are
1:22:44
Speaker 1: also vapes, and I know people don't like vapes and
1:22:46
Speaker 1: what make you long term harm from using vapes, But
1:22:48
Speaker 1: you don't have the burning and the carcinogenic effect when
1:22:51
Speaker 1: you're using a vape, but you do get the benefit
1:22:52
Speaker 1: of the nicotine, which is why you're smoking anyway. That's
1:22:55
Speaker 1: the addiction part. But ultimately someone made a choice to
1:22:58
Speaker 1: do something. As long as I have been alive, I
1:23:01
Speaker 1: was born after the nineteen sixty four Surgeon General's report
1:23:04
Speaker 1: saying cancer cigarettes cause cancer, ie cigarettes kill people and
1:23:08
Speaker 1: there's only been more information after sixty four which supports
1:23:11
Speaker 1: that and way beyond it how bad they are. And
1:23:13
Speaker 1: yet people still choose to smoke. But I look at
1:23:15
Speaker 1: the numbers dropping dramatically over time because the more people
1:23:19
Speaker 1: become aware of cigarettes, the fact that we societally reject
1:23:22
Speaker 1: them now when you know, Hollywood promoted them all the time, Hey,
1:23:25
Speaker 1: light up a cigarette, it's the cool thing to do.
1:23:28
Speaker 1: We bought into that. Now we don't anymore. So over
1:23:31
Speaker 1: time people quit smoking cigarettes, and now only ten fifteen
1:23:34
Speaker 1: percent of the population even does when it used to
1:23:36
Speaker 1: be more like thirty plus percent. So the problem has
1:23:39
Speaker 1: a way of solving itself as long as people become
1:23:41
Speaker 1: aware and make the proper choices. Sadly, too many people
1:23:45
Speaker 1: make the wrong choices. Going back to your statistics, how
1:23:47
Speaker 1: many people annually die of a drug overdose versus car
1:23:50
Speaker 1: accidents versus cigarette deaths from cancer? You can see that,
1:23:54
Speaker 1: you know, it becomes a huge Oh my god, this
1:23:56
Speaker 1: is a huge problem. We've got to throw all kinds
1:23:58
Speaker 1: of money out of thing. And you look at it
1:23:59
Speaker 1: and you think, wait a second, if we have limited
1:24:02
Speaker 1: resources dollar wise, and only mill let's say one hundred
1:24:05
Speaker 1: thousand people annually die as a consequence of overdoses, which
1:24:09
Speaker 1: is their own fault in most cases. Maybe the resources
1:24:13
Speaker 1: need to be allocated elsewhere. I don't know. It's complicated,
1:24:16
Speaker 1: but frontline point is it's the person on the front
1:24:21
Speaker 1: line that chooses to make the wrong choice upfront, and
1:24:26
Speaker 1: if we could eliminate that through education, maybe you wouldn't
1:24:30
Speaker 1: have to worry about any of this stuff. By the way,
1:24:33
Speaker 1: drugs can kill you. Literally seven twenty five right now,
1:24:36
Speaker 1: if you have KRCD talk station, uh, don't go away,

1:25:30
Speaker 1: a pleasure talking with you.
1:25:33
Speaker 10: It's always good to be with you. My friend Brian
1:25:35
Speaker 10: and who knew we had so much in common until
1:25:37
Speaker 10: we had lunch and found out we both enjoy pass
1:25:40
Speaker 10: cars and powerful guns and yeah, just a career that's
1:25:45
Speaker 10: based on informing people and sharing opinions. It's really cool.
1:25:50
Speaker 12: It was.
1:25:51
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed our conversation
1:25:54
Speaker 1: at lunch. And we can give a shout out to
1:25:55
Speaker 1: your restaurant because you steer me in the right direction.
1:25:57
Speaker 1: Over in Milford, that's a place called the Governor and
1:26:01
Speaker 1: I can strongly recommend that and maybe listeners who've been
1:26:03
Speaker 1: listening to me a long time. Know how I can
1:26:05
Speaker 1: wax poetic about really good pastrami which you can't find
1:26:09
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Well, Peter said, try the pastrami Rube, and
1:26:12
Speaker 1: I looked at him and said, dude, I'm the sommolier
1:26:14
Speaker 1: of pastrami. Man, it's got to be a high bar
1:26:16
Speaker 1: product for me to like it. And they have a
1:26:19
Speaker 1: great homemade pastrami. So it props to the governor and
1:26:22
Speaker 1: free advertising for them because I thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
1:26:26
Speaker 1: It's a quaint little spot. But Peter and I had
1:26:27
Speaker 1: a wonderful conversation, caught up on things, and yeah, we
1:26:30
Speaker 1: do have a tremendous amount of common Now, you wrote
1:26:33
Speaker 1: about the Beverly Hill Supper Club and your book Forbidden Fruit,
1:26:35
Speaker 1: which is about the mob, the crime, and the organized
1:26:39
Speaker 1: crime that existed in northern Kentucky for so many years,
1:26:42
Speaker 1: which ultimately led to the Beverly Hill Supper Club burning down.
1:26:45
Speaker 1: Paint a little picture for my listening audience. Give an
1:26:47
Speaker 1: idea how we got to the torching of the supper
1:26:50
Speaker 1: club thirty or forty nine years ago.
1:26:54
Speaker 10: Well, the whole story of the organized crime, the big mob,
1:26:57
Speaker 10: the Cleveland four Mob in northern Kentucky. He is really
1:27:00
Speaker 10: surprising to me. And as I've gone out speaking about
1:27:04
Speaker 10: it for the past five years, many people say they
1:27:08
Speaker 10: too are shocked. You know, they always knew there was
1:27:10
Speaker 10: something going on there. But you know, my parents always
1:27:12
Speaker 10: told me to stay away from Newport, and people say
1:27:16
Speaker 10: things like, you know, I can't believe this really happened,
1:27:19
Speaker 10: but I know it's true right here in Newport.
1:27:22
Speaker 4: So that was the big mob.
1:27:23
Speaker 10: It was Cleveland four that came down and took over
1:27:25
Speaker 10: the whole area, Covington and Newport. They built all these
1:27:30
Speaker 10: Some were cheap dive clubs called bust out joints, and
1:27:33
Speaker 10: others were really swank and they were called carpet joints.
1:27:37
Speaker 10: And one of those carpet joints was known as the
1:27:39
Speaker 10: Beverly Hills Country Club, which was closed down in nineteen
1:27:43
Speaker 10: sixty when Bobby Kennedy came to Newport as the Attorney
1:27:47
Speaker 10: General and sent his man to clean up Newport and
1:27:50
Speaker 10: chase the mob out, and it closed down. It was
1:27:53
Speaker 10: shuttered like a time capsule until the Shilling family reopened
1:27:58
Speaker 10: it in nineteen seventy five. Now in seventy seven, on
1:28:02
Speaker 10: this very date, that would be forty.
1:28:04
Speaker 6: Nine years ago.
1:28:05
Speaker 10: It burned, and the fire was horrific. It's still remembered
1:28:10
Speaker 10: so well by so many in Cincinnati.
1:28:12
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it killed one.
1:28:14
Speaker 10: Hundred and sixty five people. One of a fire investigator
1:28:17
Speaker 10: called this the biggest mass murder cold case in US history.
1:28:23
Speaker 1: How did did the Shilling family get the basically what
1:28:27
Speaker 1: amounted to this mob murder scene. Why did they quote
1:28:30
Speaker 1: unquote deserve a hit like that? Why were they targeted? Peter?
1:28:35
Speaker 10: Well, even in FBI documents that I found from the
1:28:38
Speaker 10: FBI vault, which is where they keep their formerly classified documents.
1:28:43
Speaker 10: In those documents, they refer the refers to Dick Shilling
1:28:47
Speaker 10: as a mob connected guy. He was on the fringes probably,
1:28:54
Speaker 10: but nonetheless he knew people who were definitely mob connected,
1:28:59
Speaker 10: and he had owned the Lookout House before that that
1:29:03
Speaker 10: burned as well.
1:29:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know, you can you can chalk.
1:29:08
Speaker 10: This up to coincidence if you want, But when you
1:29:10
Speaker 10: see more than a dozen Cincinnati nightclubs and restaurants burn
1:29:15
Speaker 10: in the years leading up to this fire, and then
1:29:17
Speaker 10: this one burns, and it just so happens there are
1:29:20
Speaker 10: one hundred and sixty five people killed in it, and
1:29:22
Speaker 10: the first thing the governor said was that it had
1:29:25
Speaker 10: to be an accident. This is just nonsense.
1:29:27
Speaker 4: You know.
1:29:27
Speaker 10: People didn't believe that then and they don't believe that today.
1:29:31
Speaker 10: It's like being told the same old lies about jfk
1:29:34
Speaker 10: Oswald acted alone. UFOs are just swamp gas. Epstein just
1:29:40
Speaker 10: committed suicide. You know, people don't believe these things.
1:29:43
Speaker 1: In their right they are indeed right, and well, Pauls
1:29:46
Speaker 1: will bring them back and we'll talk about it. You know,
1:29:47
Speaker 1: it's not just mob officials and other criminal activities might
1:29:51
Speaker 1: lead to things being burned down, but when you have
1:29:53
Speaker 1: a corrupt police department and corrupt elected official. Seven thirty
1:29:57
Speaker 1: nine I fifty got krc DE talk Station Right time
1:29:59
Speaker 1: was with Peter bur Ronson, publisher, author and an all
1:30:03
Speaker 1: round great guy. Get a copy of Forbidden Fruits in
1:30:05
Speaker 1: Cities Underworld and the supper Club Inferno as we talk
1:30:08
Speaker 1: about the anniversary of the Beverly Hill supper Club fire,
1:30:10
Speaker 1: a mass murder. As the fire inspector mentioned, speaking of
1:30:13
Speaker 1: fire inspections there, Peter Bronson, we know there was corruption
1:30:17
Speaker 1: among elected officials and maybe even fire person or police personnel.
1:30:20
Speaker 1: Why because they couldn't even do a proper investigation of
1:30:24
Speaker 1: the fire because they had it bulldozed the next day.
1:30:27
Speaker 10: Am I right, You're absolutely right. You know, there were
1:30:31
Speaker 10: about five or six investigations over the years, and they
1:30:34
Speaker 10: all came to the same conclusion that they could not
1:30:37
Speaker 10: determine the source of the fire. So the notion that
1:30:40
Speaker 10: this was solved by that lawsuit involving Besley and aluminum wire,
1:30:44
Speaker 10: it's just nonsense. But absolutely you're correct. The one of
1:30:49
Speaker 10: the fire marshals that I interviewed told me that when
1:30:53
Speaker 10: he arrived on the scene, he implored the governor to
1:30:55
Speaker 10: please set aside and put up crime tape and treat
1:30:59
Speaker 10: this as a crime instigation, and the governor basically told
1:31:02
Speaker 10: him to take a hike, that he was going to
1:31:05
Speaker 10: put the state police in charge, not the fire marshals,
1:31:08
Speaker 10: to investigate this fire. And they bulldozed and destroyed the
1:31:12
Speaker 10: scene of the fire. The Zebra room was where it began,
1:31:15
Speaker 10: and that was the first target of the clamshell crane
1:31:18
Speaker 10: to go in and destroy evidence.
1:31:20
Speaker 1: Oh that was just a fun coincidence, Peter, Yeah, right,
1:31:26
Speaker 1: but you know, you go ahead. Oh, I was just
1:31:29
Speaker 1: going to say there was a fire investigator in there
1:31:32
Speaker 1: who did take photographs of this where the fire actually started.
1:31:36
Speaker 1: It was an HVAC system and you could see the
1:31:38
Speaker 1: flames of the burn marks flowing out of it. That
1:31:42
Speaker 1: information was though hidden. You know, if the defense attorneys
1:31:46
Speaker 1: in the lawsuit against the illuminum wiring folks were able
1:31:48
Speaker 1: to get ahold of the box of documents that was
1:31:50
Speaker 1: later found and could see those photographs, they could have
1:31:52
Speaker 1: mounted a wonderful bulletproof defense to Sanchezli's allegation that aluminum
1:31:57
Speaker 1: wiring caused it.
1:31:59
Speaker 10: Exactly. You know, those pictures were hidden for twenty years,
1:32:03
Speaker 10: and the state police in Kentucky said that there was
1:32:07
Speaker 10: no there's no foundation for a Freedom of Information Act
1:32:10
Speaker 10: request to obtain the pictures, which turn out to be
1:32:13
Speaker 10: totally untrue. When they were finally released as a result
1:32:17
Speaker 10: of litigation, they were shocking. They show the massive damage
1:32:21
Speaker 10: to the air handling system down there. They showed what
1:32:25
Speaker 10: fire investigators called, quote, very strange things in that basement,
1:32:30
Speaker 10: including wiring that had been plugged in rob stript wires
1:32:34
Speaker 10: had been jammed into outlets that were connected to this explosion.
1:32:40
Speaker 10: What looks like an explosion in the air handling system.
1:32:43
Speaker 10: So you know this thing was wired.
1:32:45
Speaker 5: It was.
1:32:46
Speaker 10: It's extremely suspicious, It's very obviously arson when you begin
1:32:51
Speaker 10: to look at the evidence.
1:32:53
Speaker 1: So the motive for the then governor to launch this
1:32:57
Speaker 1: cover up, the motive of the police, and to quote
1:32:59
Speaker 1: an quote, investigated when they were ill equipped to do so,
1:33:02
Speaker 1: since they didn't have the requisite skill sets to conduct
1:33:04
Speaker 1: a fire investigation. Presumably, and I've seen enough mob movies
1:33:08
Speaker 1: to know that the mob quite often is in control
1:33:11
Speaker 1: of elected officials. They see that they get elected, they
1:33:13
Speaker 1: put money behind their campaigns, that kind of thing. You
1:33:16
Speaker 1: think maybe there's something to that in this particular case,
1:33:18
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson, Oh.
1:33:20
Speaker 10: Absolutely, you nailed it, Brian. This is all part of
1:33:24
Speaker 10: the legacy of corruption which was like a cancer in
1:33:28
Speaker 10: northern Kentucky that the mob caused. You know, they got
1:33:31
Speaker 10: people accustomed to having corrupt officials and government officials who
1:33:35
Speaker 10: were on the take. When the governor appointed his panel
1:33:39
Speaker 10: to investigate this, all but one of the people were
1:33:41
Speaker 10: later either convicted or disgraced and scandalized in corruption. The
1:33:47
Speaker 10: state police, the man who is charge of the state
1:33:49
Speaker 10: police was later found to be corrupt. The governor himself
1:33:54
Speaker 10: was caught in various corruption with payoffs and kickbacks. I mean,
1:33:59
Speaker 10: it was just after layer of these corrupt officials, and
1:34:02
Speaker 10: it really any casual observer would would quickly raise the
1:34:07
Speaker 10: question of who was on the take, who was being
1:34:10
Speaker 10: extorted by the mob, and who was actually in place
1:34:15
Speaker 10: to cover all this up.
1:34:16
Speaker 1: Now, of course, elected officials is going to join the
1:34:18
Speaker 1: fruit enjoy the fruits of the money that flowed in
1:34:21
Speaker 1: from all these casinos and illicit joints that were running
1:34:23
Speaker 1: norther in northern Kentucky. In Newport generally speaking, do you
1:34:27
Speaker 1: know anything about what the residents who were living around
1:34:30
Speaker 1: the neighborhood felt about that? Because I know the city
1:34:32
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati kind of viewed it with a knot in
1:34:35
Speaker 1: a wink. It's not in our neighborhood, but we get
1:34:37
Speaker 1: the benefits of the prostitution of the gambling right across
1:34:39
Speaker 1: the river. That's their problem. Did the locals have any say,
1:34:43
Speaker 1: any any thoughts or feelings collectively about that, because you know,
1:34:46
Speaker 1: you can vote people out of office, But I just wonder,
1:34:48
Speaker 1: you know, was this ignoring constituents to allow this to
1:34:51
Speaker 1: go or did the people in Newport that live there
1:34:54
Speaker 1: really like it as well?
1:34:56
Speaker 10: Well, you know, that's a great story too, You're you're
1:34:58
Speaker 10: absolutely right. So the community of Newport was divided. There
1:35:03
Speaker 10: was a faction that they called the Liberals, and they
1:35:06
Speaker 10: were the ones who said that this is the only
1:35:09
Speaker 10: real economic development tool we have is to be in
1:35:13
Speaker 10: bed with the mob and run illegal casinos and prostitution
1:35:17
Speaker 10: and all this crime. And the leader of that faction
1:35:20
Speaker 10: was Johnny TV Paluso. On the other side was this
1:35:25
Speaker 10: Committee of five hundred that was formed by residents who
1:35:29
Speaker 10: were fed up with this, and they drafted George Raderman
1:35:33
Speaker 10: to be their reform sheriff. And that turned into another
1:35:36
Speaker 10: huge battle and scandal that made headlines all over the US.
1:35:41
Speaker 10: So the Committee of five hundred finally did prevail and
1:35:44
Speaker 10: they managed to get Raderman elected. When he was elected,
1:35:48
Speaker 10: he had to replace the entire sheriff's department, practically of
1:35:51
Speaker 10: its officers, because that most of them were on the
1:35:54
Speaker 10: mob payroll. It was really that some of the stuff
1:35:57
Speaker 10: that was going on there is pretty astonishing.
1:36:00
Speaker 1: Really, you know, I say this not knowing whether one
1:36:03
Speaker 1: was made or not. This this could make a wonderful movie.
1:36:07
Speaker 1: You know, It's not Chicago mobsters, you know, Saint Valentine's
1:36:10
Speaker 1: Day Master type stuff. But man, the corruption, the graph,
1:36:14
Speaker 1: the murders. This, this would make a perfect movie.
1:36:17
Speaker 10: Peter, Oh, absolutely just dwelling or drilling into the scandal
1:36:23
Speaker 10: involving George Radaman when they they slipped him knockout drops
1:36:26
Speaker 10: and put him in bed with a stripper and tried
1:36:29
Speaker 10: to frame him up when they thought that would destroy
1:36:32
Speaker 10: his his reform sheriff campaign, and instead he showed that
1:36:37
Speaker 10: he had been given chloral high grape from blood tests.
1:36:40
Speaker 10: The whole thing backfired. I mean, we have all these
1:36:43
Speaker 10: cast of characters. We have Red Masters and the hit
1:36:46
Speaker 10: man from the mob. We have Mo Delitz, the big
1:36:49
Speaker 10: boss of the Cleveland four sleepout Louis. I mean, it
1:36:54
Speaker 10: just goes on and on.
1:36:55
Speaker 1: Well, Fuz, we'll bring Peter back. He's got a lot
1:36:58
Speaker 1: more nuggets that are just gonna certainly encourage to get
1:37:00
Speaker 1: his book and read it because it's great. More with
1:37:02
Speaker 1: Peter Bronson, Del coll As, Jimmy care fireplace and stuff
1:37:06
Speaker 1: was less say talk station seven fifty to fifty five
1:37:10
Speaker 1: KERCD talk station by the time it was Peter Bronson publisher, author,
1:37:14
Speaker 1: chilidog Press dot com. Find Peter and Maureen gets your
1:37:17
Speaker 1: book published at Peter Bronson's Chili Dog Press, that is,
1:37:20
Speaker 1: if it meets his muster chili. He also wrote, and
1:37:22
Speaker 1: we're talking about Peter Brownson about the anniversary of the
1:37:24
Speaker 1: Beverly Hill supper Club. He wrote about this in great detail,
1:37:27
Speaker 1: along with everything else about the corruption of Newport and
1:37:30
Speaker 1: mob activity, forbidden fruits and cities underworld in the supper
1:37:33
Speaker 1: club inferno. The Shilling family, we talked about them early
1:37:36
Speaker 1: in this interview Peter. Why were they why was their
1:37:42
Speaker 1: club burned down? What did they refuse to do? What
1:37:45
Speaker 1: didn't they capitulate too? That the mob wanted the sale
1:37:48
Speaker 1: of the building to the mob.
1:37:49
Speaker 4: Is that?
1:37:49
Speaker 1: Is that what it boils down to.
1:37:52
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what I interviewed some people who are working
1:37:55
Speaker 10: there that night, including a waitress who said she saw
1:37:57
Speaker 10: people show up and issue in ultimatum to Dick Shilling,
1:38:01
Speaker 10: the owner, basically, here's a check, fill it in with
1:38:05
Speaker 10: any number you want, and he refused and kicked him out.
1:38:09
Speaker 10: And then what she came to the conclusion that this
1:38:13
Speaker 10: was a mob basically offer you cannot refuse. And what
1:38:18
Speaker 10: was going on then in the late seventies was we
1:38:21
Speaker 10: were looking at pushes in Congress to offer legalized casino gambling,
1:38:26
Speaker 10: and in fact, Atlantic City opened the following year. So
1:38:29
Speaker 10: the big casinos were already on the way, and Dick
1:38:33
Speaker 10: Shilling wanted to be part of that. He had excavating
1:38:37
Speaker 10: and construction equipment on the site to expand the Beverly
1:38:41
Speaker 10: Hills Supper Club, and that his goal at the time
1:38:45
Speaker 10: was probably to open that as a casino if you
1:38:47
Speaker 10: could get the authorisation. After the fire, he moved to
1:38:52
Speaker 10: Mississippi eventually and became the godfather of riverboat casinos in Mississippi,
1:38:57
Speaker 10: where he became fabulously wealthy. So this all follows that pattern,
1:39:04
Speaker 10: and it also follows the pattern that the mob which
1:39:07
Speaker 10: had run the Beverly Hills Country Club or previously wanted
1:39:12
Speaker 10: that back and saw the value of this fantastic nightclub
1:39:16
Speaker 10: what it could be as a casino.
1:39:18
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, Peter, why Newport. I mean
1:39:21
Speaker 1: for the mob to you know, the Chicago mob or
1:39:23
Speaker 1: the Cleveland mob to just decide that we're going to
1:39:26
Speaker 1: set up shopping take her for Newport and put all
1:39:27
Speaker 1: these clubs and these illicit joints and what I mean,
1:39:32
Speaker 1: I things be a reasonable question. Why not, I don't know,
1:39:35
Speaker 1: pick another city or anyplace else in the in one
1:39:37
Speaker 1: hundred mile radius.
1:39:39
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a great question. And it turns out it's
1:39:42
Speaker 10: the same reason that big corporations like Kroger and Procter
1:39:46
Speaker 10: and Gamble are headquartered here. Because we have such convenient
1:39:49
Speaker 10: access to these huge population centers such as Chicago and Pittsburgh,
1:39:54
Speaker 10: and going south every in every direction, Cincinnati is ideally located.
1:39:59
Speaker 10: And this this was quickly spotted by George Remas, the
1:40:03
Speaker 10: national king of bootleggers, who set up in Newport as
1:40:07
Speaker 10: his distribution center. And the decision for Newport versus Cincinnati,
1:40:11
Speaker 10: because he lived in Cincinnati, is pretty clear that it
1:40:14
Speaker 10: was an economy of scale for corruption. You just don't
1:40:17
Speaker 10: have to bribe that many people in little Newport. You
1:40:20
Speaker 10: can own all of the law enforcement people that judges
1:40:23
Speaker 10: the politicians for very reasonable costs, compared to trying to
1:40:27
Speaker 10: do that in Cincinnati.
1:40:28
Speaker 7: Chicago, for example.
1:40:30
Speaker 1: And you answered, because the next thing was going to be, well,
1:40:32
Speaker 1: why not just Cincinnati, where we we far more moral
1:40:36
Speaker 1: than allow that to happen. It was simply a question
1:40:37
Speaker 1: of a numbers game. There were just too many people
1:40:39
Speaker 1: who need to be paid off in Cincinnati.
1:40:42
Speaker 10: Yeah, Remas said that he paid more than a billion
1:40:46
Speaker 10: dollars a year in grafting corruption and that everybody had
1:40:48
Speaker 10: their hand out, including Cincinnati. He would complain about that.
1:40:53
Speaker 10: So yeah, I think it was just too many people
1:40:56
Speaker 10: to pay off to keep their mouths shut and to
1:40:59
Speaker 10: look the other way. They in fact, they had a
1:41:01
Speaker 10: name for it. They called it the newport I The
1:41:04
Speaker 10: newport Ee was the practice of always looking the other
1:41:06
Speaker 10: way with the mob wanted to do business, and they
1:41:09
Speaker 10: did fantastic business.
1:41:11
Speaker 1: Just amazing, and of course, of course the resulting deaths
1:41:15
Speaker 1: can their tragedies cannot be understated, especially when you know
1:41:18
Speaker 1: how unbelievably horrific this was and the fact that it
1:41:21
Speaker 1: was buried and covered up with a class action lawsuit
1:41:24
Speaker 1: against a luminium wiring companies by Stan Chesley. And I
1:41:27
Speaker 1: want to thank you again for writing about him in
1:41:28
Speaker 1: Magical History Tour. That's another book you need to get
1:41:31
Speaker 1: in Peter Browns and Magical History Tour, Murder Mystery and
1:41:33
Speaker 1: Buried History of these really wild stories that happened in
1:41:36
Speaker 1: the greater Cincinnati area, including I love the way you
1:41:39
Speaker 1: wrote the story about this, the Beverly Hill Supper Club
1:41:42
Speaker 1: fire litigation, Peter the last story in the book.
1:41:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was amazing.
1:41:47
Speaker 10: He was the master of disaster, the King of torts,
1:41:51
Speaker 10: they called him. He was the class action guy. He
1:41:55
Speaker 10: claimed that he invented the class action lawsuit as a
1:41:58
Speaker 10: result of Debyl Hill's supper Club fire, and he did
1:42:02
Speaker 10: become fabulously wealthy.
1:42:04
Speaker 4: His settlement of.
1:42:05
Speaker 10: Fifty million was a record time and it became also
1:42:10
Speaker 10: a textbook case for court reform because he took so
1:42:14
Speaker 10: much of the settlement. It was considered a scandal even
1:42:18
Speaker 10: back then that he had taken so much and left
1:42:21
Speaker 10: so little for the victims of the fire.
1:42:23
Speaker 1: In My Apologies, he wrote about the fen Fen litigation,
1:42:26
Speaker 1: but it sprung from the whole idea that he was
1:42:28
Speaker 1: mister class action. He ended up getting obviously disbarred and
1:42:31
Speaker 1: should have gone to jail as a consequence of ripping
1:42:33
Speaker 1: off his own clients in the fen Fen litigation, which
1:42:35
Speaker 1: he wrote about in the book.
1:42:37
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was a unbelievable case of lawyer greed. It's again,
1:42:43
Speaker 10: it's just unbelievable. At one point to judge that case
1:42:46
Speaker 10: that he wanted to put everybody in prison, all of
1:42:50
Speaker 10: the lawyers, including the lawyers that were defending lawyers. So
1:42:56
Speaker 10: he was met up as just as everybody else was.
1:42:59
Speaker 4: Who why that trial?
1:43:00
Speaker 10: Because it was just amazing. The typical, as you know, Brian,
1:43:04
Speaker 10: the typical settlement in a class action gives a third
1:43:08
Speaker 10: to the attorneys who bring the suit, and in this
1:43:11
Speaker 10: case they took two thirds and they just kept taking
1:43:14
Speaker 10: it taken.
1:43:15
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous that you would throw your
1:43:19
Speaker 1: career away and risk prison like some of them got
1:43:21
Speaker 1: into for doing that. It's just mind boggling. Anyway, I
1:43:25
Speaker 1: have higher ethics than that. I can say that was
1:43:26
Speaker 1: a straight face. Peter Bronson, again, thank you so much
1:43:29
Speaker 1: for the beautiful lunch. We got to do that again.
1:43:31
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the brilliant writing. You do again,
1:43:35
Speaker 1: folks Forbidden Fruit. Since City's Underworld in the supper Club Inferno,
1:43:38
Speaker 1: Joe Strucker is going to put a link up to
1:43:39
Speaker 1: get your books so my listeners can easily grab a
1:43:41
Speaker 1: copy of it. We'll do that on the blog page
1:43:42
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC dot Com eight O five A fifty
1:43:46
Speaker 1: five car se detalk station Thomas right here wishing neveryone
1:43:50
Speaker 1: are very happy Friday Eve. And before we get the
1:43:54
Speaker 1: signal line at the bottom of the hour, we have
1:43:56
Speaker 1: Josh Girth. Congratulations Josh Girth, he is now the Hamilton
1:44:00
Speaker 1: County Republican Party Chair. Josh. It's good to have you
1:44:02
Speaker 1: on the program, and congratulations to you, sir.
1:44:05
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Brian. I don't know if congratulations is
1:44:08
Speaker 4: the right.
1:44:09
Speaker 1: I was going to get to that to wait for it. Josh,
1:44:13
Speaker 1: you signed up for this. You actually sort of kind
1:44:15
Speaker 1: of campaigned within the Hamilton kunty of Republican Party for
1:44:17
Speaker 1: this job, and with for that alone, I salute you
1:44:20
Speaker 1: because you know what I know, and anybody's around here
1:44:23
Speaker 1: knows that we got an uphill challenge here for folks
1:44:25
Speaker 1: that are not happy with the current makeup and political
1:44:28
Speaker 1: direction of Hamilton County. It's been turning blue and it's
1:44:32
Speaker 1: now fully blue. I transformed over my entire life from
1:44:35
Speaker 1: a bright red, always Republican conservative county to now what
1:44:39
Speaker 1: it is now. We got problems on our hands, which
1:44:40
Speaker 1: you know, and that's why you ran for the job.
1:44:42
Speaker 1: I'm sure, But I want to point out you're battle tested.
1:44:45
Speaker 1: You're an Anderson Township trustee and you were a trustee
1:44:48
Speaker 1: with Andrew Pappas, and you were able to survive that challenge.
1:44:50
Speaker 1: After all that time, I know you're ready for this job. Josh.
1:44:56
Speaker 4: That is on accurate.
1:44:58
Speaker 1: Brian, Yes, to do that well. And you know I
1:45:01
Speaker 1: was looking at the Aaron Glenn did an article about you,
1:45:04
Speaker 1: you know, taking over the role, and you were you
1:45:07
Speaker 1: plan on going after liberal judges. Before we get to that,
1:45:09
Speaker 1: she said, democrats ousted you from Anderson Township. I always
1:45:13
Speaker 1: thought Anderson Township was bulletproof in terms of liberalism and
1:45:17
Speaker 1: very conservative. You had a great I have a great
1:45:20
Speaker 1: thing going on over there, tax revenues grade, there's a
1:45:22
Speaker 1: lot of business, a lot of beautiful homes. I mean,
1:45:26
Speaker 1: has it happened in Anderson Township as well? Josh?
1:45:30
Speaker 3: I think we're a product of our own success in
1:45:32
Speaker 3: Anderson Township. We have built an incredible community. And when
1:45:36
Speaker 3: I say we, not just myself and fellow trustees over
1:45:40
Speaker 3: the last twelve years when I was in office, but
1:45:42
Speaker 3: it goes well beyond that. Previous trustees and the staff
1:45:47
Speaker 3: and administration that run the township are phenomenal and very
1:45:50
Speaker 3: business minded, business thinking people. And because of that, we
1:45:54
Speaker 3: created and still have an incredible community. And when people
1:45:58
Speaker 3: move out of the city and when people decide that
1:46:01
Speaker 3: they don't want to be in areas where they can't
1:46:03
Speaker 3: raise their families, or they have concerns about safety.
1:46:05
Speaker 6: Where do they go.
1:46:06
Speaker 4: They go to places that have all that.
1:46:08
Speaker 3: Stuff pretty well locked up, and that's what Anderson had.
1:46:12
Speaker 3: But yet for some reason, Brian, they still keep voting
1:46:14
Speaker 3: the same way.
1:46:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never understood that. Of course, you know, you're
1:46:19
Speaker 1: talking about a phenomenon that's happened all over this country.
1:46:22
Speaker 1: A post COVID everybody moved out of the inner city
1:46:24
Speaker 1: areas because they could work from home, and they brought
1:46:26
Speaker 1: their stupid policies with them. People never seem to learn, Josh,
1:46:30
Speaker 1: they really don't. And I'm sorry to hear that that's
1:46:32
Speaker 1: coming into Anderson Town. Try I suppose it was a
1:46:33
Speaker 1: bunch of folks that previously lived in the city of
1:46:36
Speaker 1: Cincinnati who moved there.
1:46:39
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that's some of it.
1:46:40
Speaker 3: I mean, the new trustees that we have are did
1:46:43
Speaker 3: not grow up here, and you know, it's I do
1:46:47
Speaker 3: think that there's some of that that's going on. And
1:46:49
Speaker 3: I think the other thing, too, is that the turnout,
1:46:53
Speaker 3: and that's one of the things that we're going to
1:46:54
Speaker 3: have to work on, is is a party. I mean,
1:46:58
Speaker 3: the turnout in Anderson I think nine or twenty twenty four,
1:47:02
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand people voted for Donald Trump and Anderson township
1:47:06
Speaker 3: in twenty four in twenty five, fifteen thousand people voted total.
1:47:12
Speaker 1: Oh no, well that's yeah. Well he stumbled upon the
1:47:18
Speaker 1: problem in downtown Cincinnati as well. Only twenty five percent
1:47:20
Speaker 1: of of the registered voters showed up in the city.
1:47:22
Speaker 1: And of course you get the same old, same old,
1:47:24
Speaker 1: because for whatever reason, the Democrats have a built in
1:47:27
Speaker 1: base of political activists that are more than willing to
1:47:30
Speaker 1: go out support campaigns and actually vote. So there's a
1:47:33
Speaker 1: challenge right there. Let's talk about that because November is really,
1:47:37
Speaker 1: obviously stating the obvious is very critical for the Republicans.
1:47:40
Speaker 1: Got to maintain control of the House and Senate hopefully
1:47:42
Speaker 1: to get things done without voter turnout, We're not going
1:47:44
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. So, as the chairman
1:47:46
Speaker 1: of the Hamilton County Republican Party, which a lot of
1:47:49
Speaker 1: people at mat matter of fact, a lot of people
1:47:51
Speaker 1: have made the decision just to leave the county, and
1:47:53
Speaker 1: you can put my wife in the basket of folks
1:47:56
Speaker 1: that think about that all the time. Because of what's
1:47:58
Speaker 1: going on here. But if people are that disappointed and
1:48:01
Speaker 1: see how blue the county has become, how do you
1:48:04
Speaker 1: get Republicans to sort of, you know, say, you know,
1:48:07
Speaker 1: we can fix it. We will go out and vote,
1:48:09
Speaker 1: we can write the ship. That's a big ask, Josh Garth,
1:48:12
Speaker 1: how do you plan on doing that?
1:48:15
Speaker 3: It is a big ask, and it's a big job,
1:48:17
Speaker 3: and it's a huge challenge. And I think that the
1:48:21
Speaker 3: overarching if there's one word that you said you've got
1:48:24
Speaker 3: to give me to make that happen, it's engagement. And
1:48:28
Speaker 3: we have been sitting on the sidelines a lot. Our
1:48:32
Speaker 3: party has done some great things.
1:48:35
Speaker 7: This is not.
1:48:37
Speaker 3: A slam against russ or Alex or the people that
1:48:40
Speaker 3: came before me, because they continued to hold strong and
1:48:45
Speaker 3: they ran the party well. But I do think there's
1:48:48
Speaker 3: areas that we probably haven't been as strong in the
1:48:51
Speaker 3: past that maybe the Democrats have, and engagement is.
1:48:56
Speaker 11: One of those.
1:48:56
Speaker 3: And it starts from the top, it goes all the
1:48:58
Speaker 3: way down to the grassroots left. It's everything from raising
1:49:02
Speaker 3: money and supporting candidates through financial means, all the way
1:49:07
Speaker 3: down to knocking on doors. And there's gonna have to
1:49:10
Speaker 3: be a revitalization of the plan to do that and
1:49:15
Speaker 3: how do we do that. We got to get more
1:49:16
Speaker 3: people in the rooms sitting at the table who are
1:49:19
Speaker 3: experts and who have the experience to do those specific
1:49:22
Speaker 3: things to drive out that support and get people out
1:49:27
Speaker 3: to vote.
1:49:28
Speaker 10: It's amazing to me that we have an.
1:49:29
Speaker 3: Entire month now to vote and yet people still don't
1:49:33
Speaker 3: find the time or think.
1:49:35
Speaker 4: It's important to go vote.
1:49:36
Speaker 3: And you're right, this November we have some very critical
1:49:41
Speaker 3: races and the with judges. We've got nine judges, and
1:49:45
Speaker 3: we also have some very key legislative races that I
1:49:47
Speaker 3: think we can flip.
1:49:49
Speaker 4: Up in Columbus. So it's the time.
1:49:53
Speaker 3: We never have enough time, but that's my job for
1:49:56
Speaker 3: at least the immediate future is going to be focused
1:49:59
Speaker 3: on those races, getting them support and making sure that
1:50:03
Speaker 3: we have the network of people to get out and
1:50:06
Speaker 3: remind the public the voters that they need to go
1:50:10
Speaker 3: vote starting in October.
1:50:12
Speaker 1: Well, and turning to your point about wanting to go
1:50:14
Speaker 1: after judicial races as your number one priority as head
1:50:16
Speaker 1: of they have on kind of Republican party. I did
1:50:19
Speaker 1: note that the Republican Party didn't even bother running candidates
1:50:23
Speaker 1: in a variety of different races. I mean, if that
1:50:25
Speaker 1: that's to me just screams capitulation.
1:50:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I hear you.
1:50:32
Speaker 3: It wasn't from lack of asking and trying to find candidates.
1:50:37
Speaker 3: And even some of the even some of the judges
1:50:40
Speaker 3: on that are up this election, they specifically went and
1:50:46
Speaker 3: asked people on behalf of the party if they would run.
1:50:48
Speaker 4: And there's just I think.
1:50:51
Speaker 10: There's just an apprehension for good people to run.
1:50:55
Speaker 3: For public office, whether it's a judge, whether it's a trustee,
1:50:58
Speaker 3: whether it's mayor it's hard to find good people to
1:51:02
Speaker 3: run well.
1:51:04
Speaker 1: I mean, putting aside what you and I might subjectively
1:51:06
Speaker 1: conclude as a good person. Is there something more problematic
1:51:09
Speaker 1: with the refusal of people to run. Is it this
1:51:11
Speaker 1: social media and doing and fear of being attacked or
1:51:15
Speaker 1: having their family stocked what, Yeah, all the things that
1:51:18
Speaker 1: the left wingers typically do and get away with.
1:51:20
Speaker 3: Josh is somebody who's experienced all of that, and more
1:51:25
Speaker 3: so last year than I ever had before. Yes, I
1:51:27
Speaker 3: think that's absolutely part of it. But I also think
1:51:30
Speaker 3: that there's people out there.
1:51:31
Speaker 7: That want to do this.
1:51:33
Speaker 4: You know, you mentioned at the beginning of the conversation.
1:51:36
Speaker 4: You know that I signed up for this. It's absolutely right.
1:51:38
Speaker 3: And after I lost the election in Anderson, I, you know,
1:51:42
Speaker 3: I was obviously pretty upset, but I have a political
1:51:47
Speaker 3: bug in me that's not going to go away, and
1:51:49
Speaker 3: so when this opportunity came up, I said, well, maybe
1:51:51
Speaker 3: there was a reason I lost, and maybe I can
1:51:54
Speaker 3: take some of the experience that I've had running for
1:51:57
Speaker 3: office locally and being in office and help recruit people
1:52:03
Speaker 3: and give them the support.
1:52:04
Speaker 4: And I think that's the thing.
1:52:05
Speaker 3: If there's people out there that I think would run
1:52:08
Speaker 3: for office that they knew they had a network of support,
1:52:11
Speaker 3: we have to vocalize and tell people we will be
1:52:16
Speaker 3: there to support you as a candidate. The Hamilton County
1:52:18
Speaker 3: Republican Party will be in your corner.
1:52:21
Speaker 1: Well. The fact that you too have been attacked social
1:52:24
Speaker 1: media and otherwise and you're still willing to run to
1:52:26
Speaker 1: be Hamilton County a Republican Party chair. Honestly, I got
1:52:29
Speaker 1: to say that speaks volumes about your character. You are
1:52:32
Speaker 1: not going to capitulate, and you're not going to just
1:52:35
Speaker 1: cower in the face of what might happen along those lines.
1:52:38
Speaker 1: You're going to stand up to it and stand on
1:52:39
Speaker 1: your principles. I think that brings a lot to the
1:52:42
Speaker 1: table in your position.
1:52:43
Speaker 3: Now, I appreciate that it's very, very important that we
1:52:50
Speaker 3: get good people in office and that we have a
1:52:53
Speaker 3: solid government that puts common sense, law and.
1:52:57
Speaker 4: Order and the general respect of the community that.
1:53:00
Speaker 3: We all live in and want to continue to live in.
1:53:03
Speaker 3: Hamilton County is still a great place. I have lived
1:53:07
Speaker 3: here my entire life. I have lived in Anderson forty years,
1:53:11
Speaker 3: and I don't want to give up on it, and
1:53:13
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of people out there that
1:53:15
Speaker 3: don't want to give up on it. We have to
1:53:17
Speaker 3: change our messaging, we have to use social media different,
1:53:21
Speaker 3: we have to engage with people that maybe we haven't
1:53:24
Speaker 3: engaged with before. And if we do these things and
1:53:27
Speaker 3: we put a solid plan together, we I think can
1:53:31
Speaker 3: win back some of these offices, certainly locally on the
1:53:34
Speaker 3: perimeter and back in the county and eventually get people
1:53:38
Speaker 3: on city council.
1:53:40
Speaker 1: I love your optimism. It's a rare thing to hear
1:53:42
Speaker 1: at such optimism in this county. We're gonna pause bring
1:53:45
Speaker 1: Josh Girth, head of the Hamilton County Republican Party, overwhelmingly,
1:53:50
Speaker 1: so we're going to see what we're gonna find out.
1:53:51
Speaker 1: I want to find ou if there's any still this
1:53:53
Speaker 1: infighting I keep hearing about, And if there is, why
1:53:56
Speaker 1: why don't we play nicely together? A fifteen right now?
1:53:58
Speaker 1: Stick around in this station eight nineteen to fifty five
1:54:04
Speaker 1: kre ce DE talk station, Happy Friday. Signal ninety nine
1:54:08
Speaker 1: is coming up next. You know, your popular winning op
1:54:11
Speaker 1: ed piece is written and published by the Sincinni Inquire.
1:54:13
Speaker 1: In the meantime, though, the brand new Hamilton kind of
1:54:15
Speaker 1: Republican Party chair Josh Girth's on the phone, and I
1:54:19
Speaker 1: got to ask you, Josh, your opponent was Robert Ruhlman,
1:54:21
Speaker 1: who I understand is retired. No any bad blood between
1:54:25
Speaker 1: the two of you, you know, you were both running
1:54:27
Speaker 1: for the same position. I'm just kind of curious to
1:54:29
Speaker 1: know because I keep hearing and you know, rumors and
1:54:32
Speaker 1: little birds talking in my head about in fighting within
1:54:35
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. I'm not sure if that's true. You
1:54:37
Speaker 1: can address that. But how about between you and Robert Ruhlman.
1:54:42
Speaker 10: No no bad blood at all.
1:54:43
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he served a long time as
1:54:47
Speaker 3: a judge, well respected the game, big family. You know,
1:54:52
Speaker 3: he's west side on the east side. I looked at
1:54:55
Speaker 3: it as more of a way to bridge both sides
1:54:59
Speaker 3: of seven. But I know, I you know, yes, Obviously
1:55:04
Speaker 3: we were running against each other, so we had different
1:55:06
Speaker 3: ideas when it came to what we were going to do.
1:55:08
Speaker 3: But a lot of our ideas also were the same engagement,
1:55:13
Speaker 3: you know, getting activated all those things that were resonating.
1:55:16
Speaker 1: Out of both sides well, and different ideas is one thing.
1:55:20
Speaker 1: The question is whether any of the ideas conflicted with
1:55:22
Speaker 1: each other. Prioritization is a different subject. Maybe you guys
1:55:26
Speaker 1: are all on the same page collectively over all of
1:55:28
Speaker 1: the issues. But your priority, which is an extraordinarily important one,
1:55:32
Speaker 1: and I would put it number one on the list,
1:55:33
Speaker 1: like you have the judicial races, I mean City of Cincinnati,
1:55:37
Speaker 1: most notably in Hamilton County. Generally speaking, we're dealing with
1:55:39
Speaker 1: a bit of a crime problem stated in the obvious,
1:55:41
Speaker 1: but you can't have successful law enforcement without a judiciary
1:55:45
Speaker 1: that's willing to punish people who commit crimes. It's the
1:55:48
Speaker 1: key element of the criminal justice system. It's the leg
1:55:50
Speaker 1: that I mean. The reason for punishment is to act
1:55:52
Speaker 1: as a deterrent and a warning and a cautionary tale
1:55:55
Speaker 1: to the other idiots out there. Who may consider committing crimes.
1:55:57
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to be that guy and
1:55:59
Speaker 1: end up in jail. You don't have that, you don't
1:56:01
Speaker 1: have criminal justice.
1:56:03
Speaker 6: Amen, you're exactly right.
1:56:05
Speaker 3: I really can't say anything more than what you just
1:56:08
Speaker 3: laid out. And the fact that people keep electing representatives
1:56:14
Speaker 3: and no spots that are not doing what you just
1:56:17
Speaker 3: said is disgusting. It's literally ruining the communities that we
1:56:23
Speaker 3: live in. People commit crimes, they need to go to jail,
1:56:27
Speaker 3: and I mean the kind of crimes that obviously warrant jailed.
1:56:29
Speaker 7: But still it's not happening.
1:56:32
Speaker 3: And if it does, you know, happen, or if they don't, they.
1:56:35
Speaker 4: Put no bond, small bond.
1:56:37
Speaker 3: All these things are crazy, and I don't understand why
1:56:42
Speaker 3: anyone is standing for it. Certainly our side is not
1:56:45
Speaker 3: going to stand for it. Why isn't the business community?
1:56:48
Speaker 3: You know, no one should be standing or standing for
1:56:50
Speaker 3: this stuff.
1:56:51
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, it is.
1:56:52
Speaker 1: You know, the judicial races are the hardest races to
1:56:55
Speaker 1: campaign for because everybody wants to know, well, how will
1:56:57
Speaker 1: you rule in any given case? And judges are not
1:56:59
Speaker 1: allowed to advisory opinions like that, and they also don't
1:57:02
Speaker 1: run under a party affiliation. You know, that's the challenge.
1:57:07
Speaker 1: And couple that with here, we're going to build on
1:57:09
Speaker 1: the problems here. Who in the hell knows about judicial
1:57:12
Speaker 1: races anyway, The vast majority of people have no connection
1:57:15
Speaker 1: with the judicial system. So how someone might perceive the
1:57:19
Speaker 1: constitution or civil litigation or criminal litigation, it's a mystery
1:57:23
Speaker 1: to the vast majority of people. So there's a knowledge
1:57:25
Speaker 1: hurdle you got to deal with. And then you go
1:57:28
Speaker 1: back to voter turnout. The most active voters, the ones
1:57:31
Speaker 1: that show up to the election again, twenty five percent
1:57:33
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati most recently, are the active
1:57:36
Speaker 1: leftist people who get out there and vote. They're the
1:57:39
Speaker 1: ones with the political agenda that undermines the societal fabric,
1:57:43
Speaker 1: like letting criminals out of jail without punishment. If you
1:57:45
Speaker 1: let them vote and run the show and you don't
1:57:47
Speaker 1: get up and vote yourself, you're going to get more
1:57:49
Speaker 1: of the same.
1:57:52
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, And I think the problem now is
1:57:56
Speaker 3: what we talked about a couple of times here is
1:57:58
Speaker 3: how do you get people out to vote? And we're
1:58:02
Speaker 3: gonna have to you know, it used to be we
1:58:04
Speaker 3: could just put judges' names on our pink tickets. Have
1:58:07
Speaker 3: some people stand at the polls and that way, you know,
1:58:10
Speaker 3: pass them out when they walked in, and then they
1:58:12
Speaker 3: knew who those Republican conservative judges were.
1:58:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to walk in.
1:58:17
Speaker 4: You gotta walk Yeah, that's exactly right, but you got
1:58:19
Speaker 4: to get there.
1:58:21
Speaker 3: I think the way to do things a little different
1:58:25
Speaker 3: and get people out and even excited about going out
1:58:29
Speaker 3: and voting is to use different communication tactics. You have
1:58:34
Speaker 3: signal ninety nine, Come nus. There's a perfect example of
1:58:36
Speaker 3: somebody who is pushing out common sense stuff about crime
1:58:42
Speaker 3: and what's going on in the city. And those are
1:58:45
Speaker 3: the kind of media outlets that we can hopefully engage
1:58:49
Speaker 3: with and then rely on to push out the names
1:58:53
Speaker 3: of our judicial candidates, our legislative candidates, people that are
1:58:57
Speaker 3: going to make a difference, so that people go, I
1:59:01
Speaker 3: keep hearing this name, I keep hearing these issues.
1:59:05
Speaker 10: I got to get out and vote.
1:59:06
Speaker 4: And it's got to be constant.
1:59:07
Speaker 3: I mean to the point where almost like if I'm
1:59:10
Speaker 3: sure everybody remembers this little congressional race in northern Kentucky
1:59:14
Speaker 3: that took placed recently, because we heard about it every
1:59:17
Speaker 3: single minute of every single day.
1:59:20
Speaker 1: Well, that takes money, Josh Girth. The problem with the
1:59:23
Speaker 1: Hamilton County Republican Party is they seem to and before
1:59:27
Speaker 1: you took the role and are all you know, prepared
1:59:28
Speaker 1: to take it to the next level and successfully successfully,
1:59:31
Speaker 1: so they seem to be a little silent and you
1:59:35
Speaker 1: don't get people to donate money the Hamilton County Republican Party,
1:59:38
Speaker 1: which can then you know, go on this this this
1:59:41
Speaker 1: campaigning effort. If people don't think they're going to get
1:59:44
Speaker 1: a return on their donation investment. There are a lot
1:59:47
Speaker 1: of political action committees that might perform better than the
1:59:49
Speaker 1: Hamilton kind of Republican Party. So that's a separate challenge.
1:59:53
Speaker 1: The fundraising component.
1:59:55
Speaker 3: Josh absolutely, and it's again as party chair that is
2:00:00
Speaker 3: probably my biggest and most prolific responsibility is helping to
2:00:05
Speaker 3: raise that money. We are fortunate that we have a
2:00:09
Speaker 3: network of donors who have been with us for a
2:00:12
Speaker 3: while and obviously they are going to continue to be important.
2:00:17
Speaker 3: They believe in the mission, they've they've they've they've been
2:00:20
Speaker 3: true supporters of our party in many ways. We got
2:00:23
Speaker 3: to find new donors.
2:00:24
Speaker 10: We have to find new people and new ways to
2:00:27
Speaker 10: support the party.
2:00:29
Speaker 3: I think we can do that, and I did it
2:00:31
Speaker 3: in Anderson Township. I raised a record amount of money
2:00:35
Speaker 3: locally in my community because I believe that I had
2:00:39
Speaker 3: a story, I had a plan, and I had.
2:00:44
Speaker 10: Some excitement and people believed in that. Now, I mean
2:00:47
Speaker 10: you said to return on investment. Well, I mean it
2:00:50
Speaker 10: doesn't always work out, but if you get people excited
2:00:54
Speaker 10: about your ideas, you have a solid plan, you give
2:00:58
Speaker 10: them hope it works and people will get behind it.
2:01:02
Speaker 4: That I'm and I'm excited.
2:01:03
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one of the things I'm excited about
2:01:05
Speaker 3: is telling people we're going to change things up. We're
2:01:09
Speaker 3: gonna use the brand more, We're going to be out
2:01:11
Speaker 3: in local communities, We're going to do more volunteering. We're
2:01:14
Speaker 3: going to be the party that has fun, that's engaged,
2:01:17
Speaker 3: and I think people will get behind us.
2:01:19
Speaker 4: Not only will the traditional donors and supporters be excited
2:01:23
Speaker 4: about it, but I think we're going to get some
2:01:24
Speaker 4: new ones as well well.
2:01:25
Speaker 1: Again, with that level of enthusiasm and optimism, and you
2:01:28
Speaker 1: give people an idea about what the money's going to
2:01:30
Speaker 1: be used for and why it's worthy investment, like you
2:01:33
Speaker 1: are doing right now. I think you will have success.
2:01:36
Speaker 1: I wish you all the best in your new role
2:01:38
Speaker 1: as Hamilton kind of Republican party chair. Josh Kirth, it's
2:01:41
Speaker 1: been a pleasure having you on the program. Congratulations again
2:01:44
Speaker 1: and you and I will definitely talk again soon. You
2:01:46
Speaker 1: have an open forum here on the morning show. Lead
2:01:48
Speaker 1: talk station, Hey thirty two if any about care ce
2:01:57
Speaker 1: de talk station, Oh signal ninety nine, it says satire
2:02:04
Speaker 1: parody signal ninety nine. Welcome back to the fifty five
2:02:07
Speaker 1: Cassee Morning. Sure, it's always a pleasure to have you on,
2:02:08
Speaker 1: and you're a popular lady online and you know what,
2:02:11
Speaker 1: you have become a valued resource for local media because
2:02:14
Speaker 1: you have the inside scoop on stuff. You've got factual information,
2:02:17
Speaker 1: and yeah, sometimes you will use you will use that
2:02:20
Speaker 1: inflat or that that inside information to ridicule public officials,
2:02:25
Speaker 1: which I'm of course referring to the words used by
2:02:27
Speaker 1: the op end op ed contributor Brian Liine Weber, who
2:02:30
Speaker 1: is critical of who you are and what you do.
2:02:32
Speaker 1: But welcome to social media, mister Lenn Weber. Welcome back,
2:02:36
Speaker 1: signal ninety nine. It's great having you on today.
2:02:39
Speaker 5: Good morning, It's good to be here.
2:02:41
Speaker 1: Brian, what was your reaction to the op ed piece?
2:02:45
Speaker 1: If I may ask, in folks, if you didn't get
2:02:46
Speaker 1: a copy of it, it's in the May twenty six
2:02:49
Speaker 1: enquire Signal ninety nine. Acts more like an attention seeker
2:02:52
Speaker 1: than a watchdog. That's, of course a subjective opinion, but
2:02:55
Speaker 1: go ahead, what was your reaction?
2:02:58
Speaker 5: Wow, I don't refer to him by name. I call
2:03:01
Speaker 5: him the butt hurt cry baby. But anyway, so many pineapples, Brian,
2:03:08
Speaker 5: so many pineapples. But you know, the funny thing is
2:03:13
Speaker 5: I live rent free in the Inquirer's head. They just can't.
2:03:18
Speaker 5: They just can't. And here's the thing. I've never proclaimed
2:03:22
Speaker 5: to be a watchdog. I've never proclaimed to be a journalist.
2:03:28
Speaker 5: You know, we just do our thing and if you
2:03:31
Speaker 5: don't like it, just move on, scroll on, scroll by.
2:03:35
Speaker 5: But you know what happened. The butt hurt cry baby
2:03:38
Speaker 5: got nasty on the page. So I blocked him.
2:03:43
Speaker 1: Oh you, all of a sudden he offered commentary on
2:03:46
Speaker 1: your Facebook page that ridicule.
2:03:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh I see, oh yeah yeah.
2:03:51
Speaker 5: So and he just, you know, he just I gave
2:03:55
Speaker 5: him a shot across the bow and he doubled down
2:03:57
Speaker 5: on stupidity, so I blocked him, and then all of
2:04:00
Speaker 5: a sudden there's an op ed in the Inquirer, which
2:04:05
Speaker 5: is funny because like eighty seven million people sent it
2:04:08
Speaker 5: to me, but I don't subscribe to the Inquirer, so
2:04:11
Speaker 5: I couldn't read it. So people actually sent me screenshots
2:04:14
Speaker 5: and then someone sent me a link and I was
2:04:16
Speaker 5: able to actually go on to their article.
2:04:19
Speaker 4: And this is the most hilarious part.
2:04:22
Speaker 5: Every comment on there was positive pro Signal ninety nine.
2:04:26
Speaker 2: It was lovely.
2:04:27
Speaker 5: Now it's probably not now, but there was probably I
2:04:31
Speaker 5: don't know thirty comments on there, yeah, and they were
2:04:34
Speaker 5: all I trust Signal ninety nine more than I trust
2:04:37
Speaker 5: blah blah blah. So it was a win for me,
2:04:41
Speaker 5: So you know whatever.
2:04:42
Speaker 1: Free advertising, yeah, free, it's free speech too, And no
2:04:45
Speaker 1: one has legal access Tonybody's Facebook page that is entirely
2:04:48
Speaker 1: up to the Facebook page, well administrator, in this particular case,
2:04:52
Speaker 1: it's you, but using your page as a vehicle to
2:04:55
Speaker 1: get some whistleblower information out. Is it possible that this
2:04:59
Speaker 1: anger or aired that's been expressed toward you by the
2:05:02
Speaker 1: CINCINNTI Inquirer, or at least this bill Weineweber guy, Is
2:05:06
Speaker 1: it because you scoop them? You're providing information that local
2:05:09
Speaker 1: media should be able to find out on its own
2:05:11
Speaker 1: or go out and interview people to talk about this
2:05:13
Speaker 1: kind of thing? Or am I wrong on that?
2:05:16
Speaker 7: You know?
2:05:17
Speaker 5: It's it's not so much that they can't find the information,
2:05:21
Speaker 5: it's the Inquirer won't They don't. They are very left leaning.
2:05:27
Speaker 5: They pretty much paint the city as you know, they
2:05:32
Speaker 5: softball everything. So the stuff that they could be blowing
2:05:36
Speaker 5: up they refuse to. And so do they get out scooped?
2:05:39
Speaker 5: Absolutely no, So you know, I mean, but the funny
2:05:44
Speaker 5: thing is, especially on X, a lot of people tag
2:05:47
Speaker 5: the Inquirer in my post and they're like, where are you?
2:05:50
Speaker 5: Why aren't you covering this?
2:05:52
Speaker 6: Why aren't you?
2:05:53
Speaker 5: So maybe that's that, Maybe that's part of it. Maybe
2:05:55
Speaker 5: they're just pissy about it.
2:05:57
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, I appreciate, we'll pause, bring signal
2:06:01
Speaker 1: ninety nine back. Your name came up when I was
2:06:02
Speaker 1: talking to Josh Girth, the new Hamilton County Republican Party chair,
2:06:06
Speaker 1: who you endorse? And I think maybe that endorsement had
2:06:10
Speaker 1: had something to do with it. Perhaps not, although he
2:06:12
Speaker 1: did want to enlist your help and trying to get
2:06:14
Speaker 1: people to get out and vote in November. We'll see
2:06:15
Speaker 1: if you'll do that. We'll also talk about the win
2:06:17
Speaker 1: and what about the Redding Police chief signal ninety nine
2:06:21
Speaker 1: on those topics, maybe a little bit more stick around.
2:06:23
Speaker 1: It's eight thirty six or fifty five KR seed talk
2:06:25
Speaker 1: station fifty eight, the fifty five KCS dog stations. By
2:06:31
Speaker 1: the time I swift signal ninety nine. It's the web
2:06:33
Speaker 1: page anyway, And of course it says right there and
2:06:37
Speaker 1: follow her on Facebook or them, because she is a
2:06:39
Speaker 1: vehicle to get inside whistleblowers from the police department and
2:06:42
Speaker 1: the fire department and dispatchers, et cetera, get the information
2:06:45
Speaker 1: out to the general public. But it says Sigle ninety
2:06:47
Speaker 1: nine a spicy meme page for cop, firefighters, medics and dispatcher,
2:06:52
Speaker 1: but also a page where we throw light on the
2:06:54
Speaker 1: shady pineapple and my listeners, knowing you know exactly what
2:06:57
Speaker 1: that word stands for your critic in the enquire of
2:07:01
Speaker 1: the op ed calmness. It's anonymous administrators use inflammatory imagery,
2:07:06
Speaker 1: ridicule public officials, and cultivate audience engagement through pure spectacle.
2:07:09
Speaker 1: Isn't that the point? I mean? Is he not familiar
2:07:12
Speaker 1: with chat GPT? You say right up front, it's a
2:07:14
Speaker 1: meme page. That's exactly what inflammatory imagery quite often is.
2:07:17
Speaker 1: Everybody uses it, including my executive producer.
2:07:22
Speaker 5: Yes, and he's excellent at it.
2:07:24
Speaker 1: He is, isn't he?
2:07:26
Speaker 5: Joe isud?
2:07:28
Speaker 1: I know can next week listen? I could not do
2:07:33
Speaker 1: this show that, Joe, And I mean that from the
2:07:34
Speaker 1: bottom of my heart with one hundred percent sincerity. So
2:07:37
Speaker 1: inflammatory imagy you do the you do a great job
2:07:39
Speaker 1: with the memes, but you know, the ridicule public officials.
2:07:42
Speaker 1: The point of that is the information upon which you
2:07:46
Speaker 1: predicate your ridicule. That's the factual part that this guy
2:07:49
Speaker 1: apparently is overlooking. You're bringing forth, you know, you bring
2:07:52
Speaker 1: the folks that whistle blow to you, provide documents, information, uh,
2:07:56
Speaker 1: you know, records, et cetera. So it's not like you're
2:07:58
Speaker 1: just going out there and making random them accusations for
2:08:01
Speaker 1: the purpose of ridiculing public officials. The ridicule springs from
2:08:04
Speaker 1: the outrageous behavior that led to the comments.
2:08:06
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely, we have the tea and the receipts, so
2:08:14
Speaker 5: I don't know what these people are talking about I think,
2:08:16
Speaker 5: like I said, I think they're just but her cry baby.
2:08:19
Speaker 5: So you know, they could just move on. They don't
2:08:22
Speaker 5: have to read the page. They gripe. If my articles
2:08:26
Speaker 5: are too long, they gripe if you know, if I
2:08:29
Speaker 5: disagree with something or I endorse the person, they don't want.
2:08:33
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it brought out the mudslingers this last week.
2:08:37
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's great. This is one of the
2:08:39
Speaker 1: reasons I don't engage in social media, because you know,
2:08:41
Speaker 1: I say things in ridicule people and bring up problems
2:08:44
Speaker 1: that I find with the world on the morning show.
2:08:46
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's a million and a half critics
2:08:48
Speaker 1: out there. If that many people even would bother to
2:08:50
Speaker 1: care what I'm saying, I don't participate, So I salute
2:08:53
Speaker 1: you for your participation. Although you get the benefit of
2:08:55
Speaker 1: some measure of anonymity, I don't. But that again, I
2:08:58
Speaker 1: don't have to read the outrageous quotes from people who
2:09:00
Speaker 1: might comment on it, So salute to you on that one.
2:09:03
Speaker 1: Let's pivot over here. What is going on with the
2:09:06
Speaker 1: Reading police chief? Speaking of shenanigans, You've been talking about
2:09:10
Speaker 1: this one on your page.
2:09:12
Speaker 5: Well, the city of reading is, you know, sitting there
2:09:17
Speaker 5: chewing their fingernails waiting to see what Knnie Pillage is
2:09:20
Speaker 5: going to do. So if I were Connie Pillage, I
2:09:24
Speaker 5: would send it to the grand jury and expect a
2:09:27
Speaker 5: no bill on it and that would be the end
2:09:29
Speaker 5: of it. It would be transparent. I don't expect them
2:09:31
Speaker 5: to actually charge him criminally.
2:09:34
Speaker 1: Well well hold on pause, pauseas so to put some
2:09:37
Speaker 1: contacts in it, to the extent, someone of my listening
2:09:39
Speaker 1: audience is going, what the hell is it that she's
2:09:41
Speaker 1: talking about? What is this indictment necessarily about?
2:09:43
Speaker 5: Okay, So the chief of Redding made a clerk run
2:09:48
Speaker 5: his brother through protected databases that are for law enforcement
2:09:53
Speaker 5: use only to get his address so he could make
2:09:57
Speaker 5: a doctor's appointment. That's felony. So you know, we reached
2:10:04
Speaker 5: out to Leeds, they found it, We reached out to
2:10:08
Speaker 5: osp They found it and ended up in BCI's hands.
2:10:14
Speaker 5: They did their investigation and then they sent it off
2:10:17
Speaker 5: to the county prosecutor for consideration of charges. So, like
2:10:22
Speaker 5: I said, he is a city in chief. He knew
2:10:26
Speaker 5: what he was doing was wrong, which is why he
2:10:28
Speaker 5: didn't run his brother himself. He could have run him himself.
2:10:31
Speaker 5: He didn't because it would have automatically flagged it. So
2:10:36
Speaker 5: you know, he had a clerk do it, and of course,
2:10:39
Speaker 5: the poor clerk whomever it is, with the way he
2:10:45
Speaker 5: is lashing out at people and being retaliatory, I'm sure
2:10:50
Speaker 5: the clerk felt if they didn't do it, they'd probably
2:10:53
Speaker 5: lose their job, right, So that's what it is. You know,
2:10:58
Speaker 5: he illegally access databases that are for professional department use
2:11:07
Speaker 5: only for personal reasons, and that's that's a big, fat
2:11:10
Speaker 5: no no. And I can't remember the last time a
2:11:13
Speaker 5: city in chief got in trouble for that. I actually
2:11:17
Speaker 5: don't remember that happening in my time here. But it's
2:11:21
Speaker 5: a big deal. It's not a little thing. And if
2:11:23
Speaker 5: you if you compound that with the fact that the
2:11:27
Speaker 5: Crosdon report came out last year and gave all these
2:11:30
Speaker 5: red flags about his leadership failures and his retaliatory behavior,
2:11:36
Speaker 5: and then I think it was nineteen officers left under
2:11:41
Speaker 5: his command, the fourteen or nineteen, something like that, and
2:11:48
Speaker 5: he just lost the lieutenant last week. I think I
2:11:51
Speaker 5: think his last day is this week. But my point is,
2:11:56
Speaker 5: you don't have that kind of a turnover in a
2:11:58
Speaker 5: decent department with goodly readershit you don't. And I know
2:12:01
Speaker 5: there's some very capable lieutenants there. I just think that
2:12:06
Speaker 5: they weren't really allowed to be the leaders they want
2:12:09
Speaker 5: to be under Eden either. So why counsel and the
2:12:13
Speaker 5: mayor and the Safety Service director have all circled their
2:12:17
Speaker 5: wagons around Eton. I have no idea, because they should
2:12:22
Speaker 5: have tut Himley's last year when the Coston report came out.
2:12:26
Speaker 12: They didn't.
2:12:27
Speaker 2: And now look so.
2:12:28
Speaker 5: Our CID did get kind of honked off and they
2:12:32
Speaker 5: went in and revoked his access. So he has zero
2:12:35
Speaker 5: access to any of those databases. The problem is he
2:12:39
Speaker 5: could still order somebody else to.
2:12:41
Speaker 7: Do it again.
2:12:43
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know why they haven't told him
2:12:46
Speaker 5: Cyinari yet. They really need to Byinara, Brian, how about that?
2:12:51
Speaker 1: Maybe that could be interpreted as ridiculing public officials. Maybe
2:12:55
Speaker 1: one more segment was signal ninety nine. Don't go way,
2:12:58
Speaker 1: it's he forty six right now that you have kcdtation.
2:13:00
Speaker 13: Fifty five krc the talk station station and it's eight
2:13:06
Speaker 13: forty nine if if do you have KRCD talk station.
2:13:08
Speaker 13: Happy Friday E Brian Thomas was signal ninety nine, and
2:13:10
Speaker 13: I encourage you to follow her like so many thousands
2:13:12
Speaker 13: of people do over at Facebook popular meme page. Yeah,
2:13:15
Speaker 13: she's spicy with her commentary, but it is accurate and
2:13:18
Speaker 13: it's fun to read and excellent with the with the
2:13:21
Speaker 13: graphics there Signal ninety nine. And I appreciate your reporting
2:13:24
Speaker 13: because I did not know. And I'm glad you're out there.
2:13:27
Speaker 13: Are they in jail dot com?
2:13:29
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine And I saw you latched onto that
2:13:31
Speaker 1: and passed along the information to all of your followers.
2:13:34
Speaker 1: What a great thing that was created, because apparently records
2:13:37
Speaker 1: are being manipulated, and we are being manipulated via the
2:13:40
Speaker 1: clerk accord and the sheriff's records and the jail bookings
2:13:43
Speaker 1: and all that.
2:13:43
Speaker 5: We have a workaround around that now, Yes, And I
2:13:47
Speaker 5: can tell you the the guy that created that, he
2:13:51
Speaker 5: is a mad genius. He's also, you know, one of
2:13:56
Speaker 5: the people behind the City of Cincinnati government's fatire page.
2:14:01
Speaker 6: So if you don't.
2:14:02
Speaker 5: Follow them, you should. City of Cincinnati satire page.
2:14:07
Speaker 1: Lots of material there.
2:14:09
Speaker 5: Yesterday, Yeah, yesterday, the servers craft because so many people
2:14:13
Speaker 5: accessed it at once.
2:14:14
Speaker 6: Oh wow, So it took them all day.
2:14:16
Speaker 5: Working on it to fix that. But it's it's up,
2:14:19
Speaker 5: it's running, and it's phenomenal.
2:14:21
Speaker 1: And what this site does, if I can read your
2:14:23
Speaker 1: own words, it puts the It pulls the same public
2:14:26
Speaker 1: booking information published by the Hamilton published by Hamilton County,
2:14:30
Speaker 1: and puts it into a format that you and I
2:14:32
Speaker 1: can easily use and see. You can search by name, charges,
2:14:36
Speaker 1: bond information, booking details. Excellent. This allows us to keep
2:14:40
Speaker 1: accountability of the judges as well as what's going on
2:14:43
Speaker 1: in the jail and the level of crime and who's
2:14:44
Speaker 1: committing it.
2:14:45
Speaker 4: Right.
2:14:46
Speaker 6: Isn't it phenomenal?
2:14:48
Speaker 12: It is.
2:14:50
Speaker 1: Yes, It's a great resource for local news reporting too.
2:14:55
Speaker 3: It is.
2:14:56
Speaker 5: I could tell you I've already.
2:14:58
Speaker 1: Been all over it well considering the level of it's
2:15:02
Speaker 1: not control. You're not manipulating anybody. But the information you
2:15:05
Speaker 1: have is valuable and people obviously are gravitating to read
2:15:07
Speaker 1: what you're writing about. You have the ability to reach
2:15:10
Speaker 1: out to a whole bunch of people through your followers.
2:15:13
Speaker 1: Going back to Josh Kerth, I know you endorsed him.
2:15:16
Speaker 1: Is he the first candidate that you endorsed going into
2:15:18
Speaker 1: the Hamilton County GOP election?
2:15:22
Speaker 10: Yes, and it was it was a.
2:15:24
Speaker 5: Hard thing to do. We did a lot of squabbling
2:15:28
Speaker 5: over it at signal ninety nine because there's several of us,
2:15:32
Speaker 5: but we thought, you know, we shouldn't endorse anybody, We
2:15:37
Speaker 5: should stay out of it. We should, we shouldn't, we should,
2:15:40
Speaker 5: we shouldn't. So you know, we finally came down on
2:15:43
Speaker 5: you know what we really should because and don't get
2:15:46
Speaker 5: me wrong, we respect Judge Roeman, we like it. Yeah,
2:15:51
Speaker 5: but we just felt like Josh could bring the energy
2:15:54
Speaker 5: to bring the party back together and get people off
2:15:57
Speaker 5: of their pineapples and out there to vote November. And
2:16:00
Speaker 5: that seems to be the biggest problem right is, you know,
2:16:04
Speaker 5: Republicans just aren't voting in awful election years, and it's
2:16:10
Speaker 5: it's so critical. I mean, look what happened last year.
2:16:14
Speaker 5: We could have had a new mayor a new city council.
2:16:17
Speaker 5: I mean, we could be a completely different.
2:16:19
Speaker 4: City right now.
2:16:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty five percent of registered voters. That is so heartbreaking. Well,
2:16:25
Speaker 1: and that's where you pivot over. And I honestly was
2:16:28
Speaker 1: really impressed by Josh's enthusiasm. He's optimistic. He says, no,
2:16:33
Speaker 1: don't bring the flag out yet, We're going to turn
2:16:34
Speaker 1: things around and we need people to get out and vote.
2:16:37
Speaker 1: Point you made the point I made talking with him.
2:16:40
Speaker 1: List Can we list you and count on you to
2:16:42
Speaker 1: regularly remind people as we get closer to November that
2:16:45
Speaker 1: it isn't too late and we do definitely need to
2:16:47
Speaker 1: get off our butts and change the direction of Hamilton County.
2:16:49
Speaker 1: It seems like an easy ask and I have a
2:16:51
Speaker 1: feeling you'll say yes, but I want you on the record.
2:16:55
Speaker 5: Oh oh absolutely. I did it all last year and
2:16:58
Speaker 5: I was pretty disheartened that so many people just weren't
2:17:01
Speaker 5: warn't Warren, they didn't vote, but now they want to
2:17:03
Speaker 5: grape about it. So if you don't vote, shut up,
2:17:07
Speaker 5: you got no voice. Your voice is your vote. And
2:17:10
Speaker 5: if you don't vote, don't whine and moan about things
2:17:15
Speaker 5: that are going on because you chose to stay home,
2:17:19
Speaker 5: and that I will absolutely be hammering that home.
2:17:21
Speaker 1: All right. Well, and again, please from my listeners, the
2:17:24
Speaker 1: follower on Facebook or them the nom diplume going back
2:17:30
Speaker 1: to the ending on this this op ed piece, and
2:17:33
Speaker 1: a point again the non diplume signal ninety nine. You
2:17:36
Speaker 1: are you're a collective back there the insiders that you

2:17:43
Speaker 1: police and fire and ems and and dispatch and all.
2:17:47
Speaker 1: It's it's a collective. So you got to sum it
2:17:49
Speaker 1: up in Signal ninety nine that you the moniker that
2:17:51
Speaker 1: you chose. So it's not you specifically, it's a collective
2:17:55
Speaker 1: of informed people. Have I got that right?
2:17:58
Speaker 5: It isn't that includes the criminal, just the system, executters, judges, clerks, probation,
2:18:04
Speaker 5: am you. Oh yeah, they're all in it, Davis's yeah.

2:18:16
Speaker 1: and keep doing it in a comedic and fun to
2:18:19
Speaker 1: read fashion because we all get a kick out of
2:18:21
Speaker 1: it and it generates clicks, which means more people find
2:18:23
Speaker 1: out about it. Right, Yeah, that's the point of the
2:18:29
Speaker 1: spicy memes. Brian, You're always welcome. I knock yourself out.
2:18:35
Speaker 1: I know. Facebook's like the only place I go. Why

Speaker 1: a salute to everybody involved in your absolutely wonderful efforts.
2:18:46

2:18:48
Speaker 1: stupidity and find better people to represent us in the
2:18:51
Speaker 1: greater Cincinnatian, Hamilton Kinty area. We'll talk again real soon.
