  Speaker 1: for the next four hours ahead of time, kind of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: woke up on the wrong foot this morning. I'm not
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I'm not feeling ill or anything. I'm
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: just I don't know. It's like my semi circular canal
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: is out of whack. I feel really unstable and slightly dizzy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So I have no idea what's going on in my
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: head right now. So apologies in advance. I hope I

• 1:04
  Speaker 1: two to three talk found five fifty on AT and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: T phones. And I won't have any relief until Ken
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Cobra FLP president comes on at seven oh five to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: take the weight off my shoulders this morning, and I'm
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: talking about downtown safety and how the police officers feel
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: with our mayor right now. Aaron Winer Charter Committee Canada
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for Sinceei City Council joins a program at seven thirty,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we'll hear about his plans for the Sinsint Police Apartment
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and how his campaign is going. Fast forward to eight
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: oh five with the Inside Scoop Right Bart News White
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: House correspondent Nick Gilbertson talking about the Trump Middle East
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: peace deal, which the world seems to be celebrating, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: rightfully so, I can only hope that we can parlay
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this into some sort of peace resolution between Russian and Ukraine,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: which of course I'm going to be talking about with
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this morning with Daniel Davis and the Deep Dive. Yes,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we will talk to him about the Middle East peace
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: but also the ongoing saga going on to Russian in Ukraine.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And I saw an article this morning, Politico article which
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is absolutely insane. When I mean I listen to fog
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of war. I don't know who to believe in terms
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of the number of casualties. And you want to read
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: one site, you'll hear a X number of casualties between
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Russian and Ukraine. You read another site and you get
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a completely different picture. But all of the numbers, regardless
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of which website, media outlet you're looking at, are crazy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Now I've been to the Washington d C. And I've
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: seen the Vietnam Memorial and my recollection is there are
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: fifty four fifty five thousand names of soldiers who perished
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: finding in the Vietnam War, not exactly a declared war.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I might interject, this is from Politico Russia loss. This
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is just the first sentence. Russia lost two hundred and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: eighty one thousand and five hundred and fifty soldiers in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the first eight months of this year. Two hundred and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: eighty one thousand, five hundred and fifty soldiers. Now this
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is a report, a document the Ukrainian intelligence say contain
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: leaked Russian data. So again, you know, recognizing what what
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: can you believe in? What you can't believe in the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: world of news these days. Fine, but you know, Politico,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a left leaning website, I'll acknowledge this is data that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we got from the Ukrainian intelligence, which they say was
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: sourced from Russian intelligence. So you see how we're we're
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: walking down this sort of question mark path. The list,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: which was recently published, shows the level of losses for
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: minimal battlefold battlefield gains, claiming that eighty six thousand, seven
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty four Russians were killed. You got almost
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: thirty four thousand missing, one hundred and fifty eight thousand
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and a half wounded, and twenty three hundred captured. Now
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it's noted in politicals reporting that, you know, there's a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Russian media website called media Zona claimed to be skeptical
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: about the numbers, but it named more than one hundred
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and thirty four thousand dead. So no, no, no, it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not two hundred and eighty one thousand, five hundred since January.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: It's only one hundred and thirty four thousand, So I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: mean insane amounts of lives being lost. And then the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: article goes on to talk about how Russia is having
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a really hard problem recruiting people. Of course, you might
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: imagine Institute for the Study of War, which described as
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Washington Think, then estimated Russia is signing up an average
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of thirty one thousand, six hundred soldiers a month but
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: suffering an average of thirty five thousand and ninety three
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: casualties a month, more casualties than a number of people
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that can even sign up. So again, I'm waving a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: red flag of you know, warning about the numbers, because
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: clearly you and I have no way of knowing. But
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: given the difference between you know, the Russian reporting and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: these Ukrainian figures, we're still talking about a massive, massive
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: loss of life, more lives lost than the entirety of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the Vietnam War in just this year. That's a tough
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: thing to grasp, at least for me, it is. Don't
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: know where the resolution is. Maybe Daniel Davis I can
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: comment on that. We'll be hearing from him at eight thirty.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And finally we'll have Dab my friend from Oto Eggs
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and on locally owned, locally made product, Dab at the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: helm twenty five years of Oter Eggs at getting rid
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of nastiness. That'll take place at the end of the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock hour. End of the eight o'clock hour, So
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: hope you stick around for all that, and again feel
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: free to call rescue me from myself. This morning, downtown violence.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You heard on the top of the our news. We've
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: got a couple of people shot. Great two people injured
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in a shooting a Fountain Square at the City Bird
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: please showed up in response to the shooting. Two people
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: injured taking a UC medical center with described as non
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: life threatening injuries. They said the shooting happened through the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: window of City Bird exchange of fire. According police, three
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: shellcasings found two suspects, one of whom arrested in over
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the r soon after the shooting. The one victim is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a mail between the ages of are you ready sixteen
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and seventeen years old?
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Joe?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Do we have a curfew? Yeah? I have to have
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Provoll spoke to that, so compare and contrast. I got
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a big kick out of the statements after have pro
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: ball statements and he had a statement from Corey Bowman.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman an alternative to mayor, have to have Purvoll
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for a change of administration, perhaps a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: different direction for the city of Cincinnati after have parvoal
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: The recent violence and Fountain Square and Government Square is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: beyond the pale and intolerable fine. This violence is in
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the literal heart of our downtown. We've been relentless with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a litany of both police and non police interventions, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: yet violence continues. What what about all the progress we made?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: What about MAGA undermining our safety and tearing apart of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the community. What about MAGA undoing what we've achieved together?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: This is what we've achieved together. More violence in downtown Cincinnati.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I guess the violence continues. Words from have to have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: parvol He's acknowledging that we've got a violence problem downtown Cincinnati.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: What an amazing turn of events. As mayor of our city,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: my expectation is that every party is at the table
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and every change is on the table. We must collectively
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: consider significant change to the transit hub and how we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: police the area. Oh, we need a change to the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: transit hub. I don't know how that became. The Government
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Square became a magnet for violence, but it is a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: magnet for violence. Is it the transit hub that's at fault?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He went on the change to the transit hub and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: how we police the area. That includes working with SORDA
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to push for changes to Government Square. See here Government Square.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: This is a bus drop off, transit area for whatever reason,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and a magnet for youths and violent crime. Seems to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: me this is a police issue beyond that societally a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: recognized problem we have in society that young people are
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: out there committing crimes. Of course, folks with responsible parents
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't allow their children to be out after hours hanging
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out a government square. Maybe that's a broader problem, or
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: maybe the solution of the problem is dealing with people
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: at home. But we need changes to Government Square. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: also said, and creating and enforcing an earlier curfew specific
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to the Fountain Square district. A, so we're gonna focus
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: on just the Fountain Square district. What do you think
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: like if you had enforced heavily enforced curfew in just
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Government Square, which apparently is the root of all evil.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Government Square is the problem. It's not the youth and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the violence in downtown Cincinnati committed by people youth and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: adults included. It's Government Square. So let's enforce a curfew
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: stick Government Square. Curfews apply only to the underage people.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Adults aren't subject to the curfew last time I checked.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So my directive remains clear. Police officers are responsible and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: empowered to proactively intervene in de escalating unruly behavior and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: enforcing laws as they're written. Fine, that's a mayor have
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to have pro ball statement, which I thought was kind
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of comical considering Corey Bowman's statement. I won't read the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: whole thing. I'll just go on because after parwall ends
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: with police officers being responsible and empowered to proactively intervene
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in de escalating unruly behavior, enforcing laws as they're written,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Which is a change in his perspective in terms of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. This is a recent change from mayor, have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to have pro ball, who is a big defund rethink
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: police kind of guy, Corey Bowman. Fast forward three paragraphs.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Our city needs to I'm sorry, our city needs proactive
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: policing patrols focused on de escalation. Sounds like comparable ideas there,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: as well as the communications center of the dispatches accordingly
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and effectively, immediate efforts to hire officers to meet designated
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: strength numbers. Pressure on courts and judges to hold criminals accountable.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: There's an element that may be elusive for even a mayor.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: How do you pressure a woke, left wing judge to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: enforce the law to the fullest extent. You can't do that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: They're independent the U Dictionary, separate, independent from the executive branch.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: They can do whatever the hell they want. This is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: why we need to make informed choices when it comes
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to electing judges. And you have an opportunity to do
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that in November or even right now, because early voting
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is open choose your judges wisely anyway, New Amster, Gary
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and Jay on the phone. I am thankful for your
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: calls this morning, probably more than any other morning that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I can recall. It's five seventeen right now. We'll get
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to those just a moment. I'll be right back.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I have a little bit of issue that's not.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Good even thank God. Hundred and eighty two three taught
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Gary, you're first. Thanks for calling this morning. Gary.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It's good to hear from you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: That's good goodness to listen to you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Brian.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I've been retired for ten years and I can tell
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: you just a couple of observations that I make on
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: my partners. I have nothing to prove this, but I
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: think I'm pretty accurate. I think if we look, we
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: are on the warfare has changed so dramatically. We're almost
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: like that difference between the Civil War and the World
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: War One, to where trench warfare was in corporate with
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: modern industrial age technology made more lethal, rapid firing, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: larger weapons more accurate. And now we're on a different
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: technological transformation with drone warfare, cyber warfare. You know, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: picture just picture this like we built the B twenty
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: fours in the B seventeen and the twenty nines on
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: a rapid industrial scale using a modern assembly, right, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: we've pumped out twelve thousand B twenty fours and almost
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: seven thousand B twenty nine five thousand. Anyhow, I can
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: imagine making drones at such a clip and a rapid succession,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: and having drones instead of pilots and using swarm warfare,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: you know, swarm technology to go after the aircraft, warriers
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: or even cities and stuff like that. You in corporate that,
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: or even on the battlefield, you'll also get cyber warfare
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: at the same time, where they go after the infrastructure, food, fuel,
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: anything that's banking, transactions, things like that. And you're entering
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: completely different realm. And we're actually watching this real time,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: not just with Russia and Ukraine, but with everybody. I mean,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: I think this is one of the reasons we're beefing
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: up our military reserve, our weapons, and they're kind of
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: doing it on a low scale like they did back
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: in the nineteen thirties. Our government knows that something is coming,
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: we just don't know what, and we're building up our
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: stockpile of weapons. And I believe this is why that
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: plant in Tennessee blew up, because they're working these guys
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: over time and a half trying to pump through because
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: we need the explosive portinets and stuff like that. I
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: can't prove.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: That, Yeah, that makes sense. I was just gonna say,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: there's no way I'm even speculated on the reasons for
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that explosion. But all the observations make are very are
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: quite clear. I mean, anybody who doesn't even have any
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: connection with the military is paying even remote attention to
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the issues, realizes the reality of modern warfare. It's drones
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and cyber We got the Chinese hacking into literally everything
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that we have. In terms of infrastructure. Our electric grid
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: can be shut down on a whim and the electric
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: lid grid fails. I'm sorry, You're not gonna have access
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: to your bank account, your four to one K account,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: your cryptocurrency account, nothing. Your water will not flow, your
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: gas will not flow, you will be without literally anything.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the world we live in right now.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It's frightening. And yes, I hope that our American military
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and our officials and our elected officials and everybody involved
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in protecting us is painfully aware of this reality and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: is really literally doing everything humanly possible behind the scenes
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to protect us from what seems so damn obvious. Mean,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: our biggest threat is the Chinese communist parties hacking into
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: our infrastructure, but they're not the only ones. We talked
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to Tech Friday's Dave Hadter. Every Friday we find out
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: how many actors are out there, evil and nefarious folks.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're just looking to make a buck, Maybe they're
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: looking to undermine the United States stability and its ability
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to defend itself. But they're all out there in mass
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: quantities coming after US twenty four to seven. It's frightening.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I hate to even think about how frightening it is.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's easy to make a drone. North Korea's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: churning them out, Russia's churning them out, Iran is churning
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: them out. Everybody's capable of making a drone. They're cheap,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they're inexpensive, they're expendable. How much does it cost for
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: an F thirty five? How much does it cost for
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a drone? How many drones can you buy for the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: cost of an F thirty five? Rhetorical question, Jay hang On,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'll take your call as soon as we come back.
• 16:58

  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the show.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Thanks ran Hey.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Just wanted to congratulate the listeners. We're up to sixty
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: five billion dollars in savings this government shutdown. This is
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: really the ultimate dough solution, isn't it that instead of
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: trying to pick away at the federal government and you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: making some wins, but nowhere near where we need to be,
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: just shut it down and leave it shut down. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: I would love to see Trump push the accelerator pedal down,
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: starting with let's undo all the federal bureaucracies the woods
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Row Wilson put in place, and Jimmy Carter, you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: I would start with Department of Education gone, Department of
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: Energy gone, and just keep going down through every department
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: every day, get rid of another one, and everybody relaxed.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: Your life goes on. We don't need I don't think
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: anybody's calling nine to one one because the government is
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: shut down. We're only talking about twenty percent of the
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: government spending. Believe me, they can do without it. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: speaking of state government, you know, back to the argument
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: of with what happens if we stop paying property tax?
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: And and my pet peeve is when people say, well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: what are we going to replace it with? Here's a night.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I don't don't allot to be a pet peeve. It's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a legitimate question, man. I'm not saying I want property tags.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The aftermath is going to be a complicated reality, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you can't deny that. So they're going to have to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: do so hard.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: I can, well I can, And here's how. If you
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: get on Ohio checkbook dot gov, it'll show you where
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: the Ohio is spending money. It has one hundred and
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: eleven billion dollar budget. Forty five billion of that is Medicaid,
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: and I just try to find the updated listening by states,
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: because last time we found this, I think it was
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: Americans for Prosperity that Ohio was last place at forty
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: five percent. So let's just assume that we're right around there.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Our medicaid spend is forty five billions. Our public schools
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: primary secondary is fifteen billions. If we take the medicaid
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: fraud out of the Ohio state budget, that base for everything.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: If we want to continue to overfund these overfunded schools
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: and pay the football tax and get to take them
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: the same exorbitant level of spending, take the medicaid fraud.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: This is very simple. Take the fraud out of the
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: state medicaid system and that'll fund primary secondary schools. You
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: don't have to change the thing.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: I would vote to take the fraud out and scutch
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: and continue to cut the taxes. But isn't that a
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: simple solution, Brian?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It is assuming that amount of fraud is out there
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in the quantities that you describe, and I have no
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: way of knowing exactly how much fraud is out there.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: It is difficult to find the number. I mean, you
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: point it out after here's the one that brought it
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to everybody's attention. That's not that long ago. But I
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: don't know where the number is right now. I can't.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I can't see what idea.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: I found something. I found that the national average is
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: twenty percent, So twenty of forty five billion. What says
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: that nine billion dollars out of the fifteen billion dollar
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: primary and secondary budget. Even if we're average, I don't
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: think we are. Okay, we would still have nine billions.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: That's a big hole that we could fill with primary
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: and second there. But I don't hear anybody talking about
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: this anymore.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: No, You're right, That's why we have you Jay, to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: keep reminding people how much fraud, waste, and abuse there
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: is out there. Every blank and government program is just
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: replete with fraud, waste, and abuse. It happens all the time. Geez,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: look at the COVID numbers and the PPP loans. I mean,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: there's just billions of dollars of people just ripping off
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the federal government. And of course state governments go hand
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in hand with the federal government because there's not enough oversight.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: There isn't enough there aren't enough bodies I guess monitoring
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the store. There seems to be something artificial intelligence might
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: get its head around and stop from happening. I mean,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: how difficult is it to eradicate fraud wasted abuse? Right?
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: You gotta be would one hundred percent agree? And so
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: anytime somebody says what would we replace it with, We'll
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: get rid of the fraud, waste and abuse. Start with Medicaid.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: Don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat. And hey, we're hav
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: anybody for Central Committee, the shadow people behind the Republican Party.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Have they ever reached out to you, because I'd really
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: love to know more about you know, how they make
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: choices for all of us.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Who every time you mentioned Central Committee? Rick Herron, who's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: big on Central Committee being the the important element of
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: getting better candidates. He keeps saying Jay needs a run
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: for Central Committee. Be a strong voice be that actual committee. Rick,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: you are the one that needs to be on Central
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Committee because you hate it so much. That's his point.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: Jay, who elected them to speak for all of us?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Well, nobody but everybody. You know, it's just kind of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the way we ended up here. Jay, go ahead, run
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: for it and tear it down. If that's the end
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: story for you, then fine, go ahead and do it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: You can be the I don't know the mechanism for
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: change here in the state of Ohio. Love hearing from you, Jay,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and keep reminding people there is massive fraud, waste, abuse,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and government. Maybe we don't need more money, we just
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: need to get a check on the money that we
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: take in. And the number of people were hooking themselves
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: up to federal programs and state programs who are not
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: eligible or otherwise committing fraud and doing so. Thank you,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: my friend, Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show, and Happy
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Tuesday to you.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Oh that's just good stuff. I know, I know. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: got something for Jay to do. Apparently there's a couple
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: of local high schools that need new stadiums and he
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: needs to spearhead fundraiser drives.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah that'll work. Yeah, he's on that right now.
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: Football tax. That's one of the better ones that I've
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: heard that. I mean, it could be. And the reason
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: it's so funny is good.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: It's true.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It's true. Yes, it is true.
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: It is true. We are spending it in orderate amounts
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: of money on things that really, when you get down
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: to it, the taxpayers should not be paying for. It's
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: that simple. So h But now you're asking people to
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: give up this big pot of money that's there that
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: every everybody that gets elected and get their rugby balls
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: into and oh, here's something for my cause, and oh
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: here's so here's some more from my cause. And you
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: know that, that's what you're asking people to give up.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: And it's man, the love of money. We know about that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: And when you got all kinds of money, you can
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: do a lot of stuff. You can grease a lot
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: of wheels, you know. So that's that's the tough part,
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: getting rid of all this money and knocking down the
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: amount of money that's that's available to all these politicians
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: and all these bureaucrats. And that's both sides of the aisle.
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: And there's a very small percentage of elected officials that realize
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: it's a problem and are and are willing to do
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: something about it, but a single digit percentage of people
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: is not going to get anything done. And so that's why,
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: along with Jay and and many others, that's why we
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: say don't vote right now and don't vote Democrat.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom and you two
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: five six, fifty five kre CD talk station. More calls
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: coming in which I truly appreciate. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: fifty five eighty two to three talk found five fifty
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: on eight and t phones be right back. This is
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC and ihoarstational five forty here fifty five
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: kr CD talk station. Got a couple of callers online.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I just have those, you know from Jay's comments. Well,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you know I I think that the elimination of property
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: tax is going to be complicated for our elected officials
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: and columbus to deal with. Jay's got a solution, get
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: rid of fraud, waste and abuse, and there's the money. Well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: maybe that's the answer to the question, the Charlie Fox trot.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Reality of getting rid of property tax in the state
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of Ohio, if that's in fact what the voters go for,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: might bring about greater oversight. If they are desperately in
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: need of finding money. It's right there in front of them.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's one of the things that they'll accomplish.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, property tax is eliminated. How are we
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: going to fund fill in the black? Thanks? Hmmm, well,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: let's look at this program. Let's look at that program.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, let us look at the billions of
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: dollars that we are spending that we shouldn't be spending.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Let's put it in our pocket and then fund these things.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: We no longer have property, that's the fund. Maybe that's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the moment of desperation that will bring us about to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: some form of a greater oversight which seems to be
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in desperate need across every corner of government in the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: entire United States. Where in the hell is the oversight?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: How much money do you spend on non or on
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: these on these non governmental organization we talk about the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. They get millions and millions of dollars.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: What did they do with it? The original DOGE work
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: going after all these USA programs, What did they do
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: with the money? It says they're going to cure I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: don't know, herpes among transgender prostitutes in China or something
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: did it? We don't know. Nobody followed up, Bobby, Welcome
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to the Morning Show, and a happy Tuesday to.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: You by family in the firearms, my friend, I mean,
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: we've had six shootings downtown and they've only reported four
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: of them.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Fair enough.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: I've got to repeat something I've discussed a long time ago.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: The seventy two hour window.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: People are not prepared when the power goes out and
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: the water stops. What are you going to do after
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: the first three days, because if you're not prepared, you'll
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: never be able to get prepared.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Good question, even around federal government on federal websites, says
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you need to have at least three days worth of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: supplies in your house. There's your seventy two hour window. Bobby,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: what about day four or five or six?
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: People aren't prepared? My friend, I got one thing to say,
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: and this sums it up. They talk about the taxes,
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: and it's real simple. You want to talk about the waste,
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Go down to any job and family service office and
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: just walk in there and sit down for a while,
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: and you'll see exactly what the problems are. Efficiency grifters,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: same place, same people. It's not going to change until
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: you change the faces, and it's not going to change,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: and we're not going to be able to change the faces.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Every city in the in the state of Ohio is
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: run by Democratic mayors, Democratic city councils, all of them.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: But they're all surrounded by conservatives. Why are we still
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: feeding them?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a good question, I guess I've had many
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of my friends, as Steve, you're out there listening wondering,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: for example, why Donald Trump is insisting on rescuing and
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: saving the democratic cities from themselves in the rampant crime.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Let them go, Let them die on their own policies
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and platforms. Don't send the National Guard in. Yah, they're suffering.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Let them continue to suffer. I understand that you can
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: view that as a broader, perhaps solution to the challenges
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: we face collectively.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: In the state of Ohio. We have eighty eight counties.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Ten percent are run by Democrats, but that ten takes
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: care of fifty percent of the voting block. Yeah, why
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: do we keep supporting they're surrounded by conservatives? Quit spending
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: the money, and quit feeding the pig. That's it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Well, Bobby's final solution cut off the money, so viable
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: solution there, Bobby, I guess, Ted, welcome to the morning show,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. If you can make it one.
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: The Ohio Lottery when they sold that to us.
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: The.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Good go ahead. I'm sorry, Yeah, you're.
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: Right checked into how much?
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: How much does the High Lottery take into do we
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: even know that? I think your cell phone died. Ted,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not hearing anything from you, but it's a great point.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Just mentioning the High Lottery obviously caused me to break
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: into laughter. That was the solution to our school funding issues,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't it right? Five forty five if Carcity talks station,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: feel free to call save me from myself. I'll be
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: right back.
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: Fifty five krc the talk station Buffalo five forty nine
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: here for the five KRCD talk station, Happy Tuesday.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Try to make it one anyway. I'm mentioned at the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: outside of the program. I'm struggling a little bit this morning,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: feeling extremely for whatever reason, dizzy and off balance. It's
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: kind of impacting my mind in the way it's working
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: this morning. I don't know why I'm feeling this way,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: but I am so. I'm on record, so you can
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: at least maybe give me a pass this morning. Let's
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: gore to the phones, starting with Corey. Who's first in line, Cleveland.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I'll hang on brother, We'll get you next. Corey, thanks
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: for calling this morning, Good morning.
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: Haven't called in and for a little bit would this
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: morning calling from Saginaw, Michigan this morning, listening on the app.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: But like Jays saying, I agree, get rid of the
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: property text. That'll force them to make cuts where they
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: need to. Governments bloated everywhere you look. Everything you see
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: is government bloat, and it will force them to get
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: their their house in order a little bit.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, by any government job.
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: You see any road project, why is it every time
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: they pave a road, a month later they come back
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: close it and then they put in new calverts and
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: they tear up what they just did. Little you see
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: little stuff like that everywhere all the time. And US
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: government programs they got to they got to spend the
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: money or they don't get it next year. So they
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: got to spend more. That way they get more money
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: the following year.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Most notably in the federal government level. Absolutely, the federal
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: government is just awful along those lines. Yeah, spend it, spendet,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: hurry up and spend it. We're not going to get
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the same amount or not or more next year. It's crazy, crazy, yep.
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: The whole system's built to take more and more and
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: more and more and make everybody dependent upon the government, Yes, sir, government.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: And the fulfillment of Marxist stream erode and eradicate the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: middle class, leaving just two classes out there so you
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: can gage in a perpetual class warfare argument and then
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: bring down those that make the most money and actually
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: employ people. Right. Yeah, there you have it, Cory, you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: summed it up.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: It's good to hear from your brother. Don't be a
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: stranger here on the morning show Cleveland. Now, welcome man,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: it's good to hear from this morning.
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: Good morning. I just wanted to quickly piggyback on what
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: Bobby said about cutting off the spigot. I think we
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: need to be reminded that there was a very famous
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: libertarian who wrote a book and ran actually wrote several
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: books about exactly what we're talking about. And I think
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: we all need to become John Galt and basically quit.
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: I like, that's that's my comment for the day.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: As Tom says, don't vote Democrat, Rhino.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Appreciate you bringing I ran up to the top. Yes,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: who is John gold Atlas Strug? You should probably read it,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: although I will point out that there is a very
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: very extraordinarily overly long winded speech, yes, the radio speech
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: in the book that I just every time I've read
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: that book, my eyes just where it's like, Hi, come on,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: did you really need to go on for four hundred
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: pages or whatever on this? Anyway, you've read the book,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you know exactly what I'm talking about. Love it hated
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: It's I think it's a really great book, and that
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: whole fantasy land. Also, I don't know, did you need
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to go there? Anyway? We go to the stack of
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: stupid taco bell not a fan. There is a event
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in Denver. It is called the International Taco Bell fifty
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: k Ultra Marathon. Fifty k translates into thirty one miles
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: described as loop through Denver, including men datory stops, mandatory
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: at ten taco bells. You must order to compete in
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: this event. Successfully, you have to order something at nine
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: out of the ten taco bells, and you actually have
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to eat the food food specifically including one Chaloupa Supreme.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Don't even have any idea. What the hell that is?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: It's a made up thing. I know, Joe, that's exactly
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: what the sound effect was in my mind, or same
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: sound effect. One crunch Wrap Supreme, so you got a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Chilupa Supreme and a crunch trapp Supreme by the fourth stop,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and then one Burrito Supreme hit it or one Nacho's
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Bell Grande by the eighth stop. You have to finish
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the thirty one miles within eleven hours. You need to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: keep your receipts. Drinks do not count as food, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that's in quotes from the instructions they say. Obviously challenging
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: for the digestive system, but you must keep it down.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: There is a zero tolerance policy for expelling the eating food.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: The eating food as much as you might want to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: expel whatever the hell at Chilupa Supreme is so no vomiting.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: If you do, you're immediately disqualified and you're not allowed
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: to take stomach medicines like pepto, pepsid ac et cetera.
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: I don't make the.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: Rules, ma'am.
• 35:23
  Speaker 13: I just think them up and write them down.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You are able to use the bathroom as much as
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: you like, but you can only use Taco Bell restrooms.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Taco Bell fifty K now when it's eighth year just
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. No winners yet been announced. They
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: were expecting around six hundred participants for the record. Taco
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Bell is not affiliated in any way, shape or form
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: of the event and will not comment on it. But
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the organizers say they believe that's probably because of their
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: legal department. You know, if they endorse it, then maybe
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: they're going to be liable. And I certainly understand that
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: because fifty five CASEE listener lunches are not sanctioned, but
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: of course they enjoy the publicity. Taco Bell. Wow, I
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: remember the last time I was at a Taco Bell.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Not a good experience. Five point fifty five five parisee
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the talk station stick around more coming out. I've got
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: plenty of talk about in the six o'clock hour, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: again desperately pleading for your calls this morning. I am
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: not here, I really am not. I'll be right back.
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: Today's tough headlines coming up at the six oh six
• 36:39
  Speaker 12: fifty five KR see the talk station.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: By the time, I was wishing your money. Very happy Tuesday.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I hope you're having a better one than I am,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: and again, apologies. I started out this morning show letting
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you know I am not. I'm not playing with a
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: full deck of cards this morning. I don't know what's
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: wrong with me, and thank you Rick for telling me
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I should probably get checked out at the er. I
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: don't feel sick. I just feel really, really, really like dizzy.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And I just asked Joe Strecker, this is the end
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: of my nineteenth year in radio. I'll be twenty years
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in radio next year. I have I don't think I've
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: ever taken a sick day, and this morning I would
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: have called a red flag on it if I thought, well,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I felt like I would be letting Joe Strecker down.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: What the hell do you do when the host of
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the fifty five carsset morning he just calls in and
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: says he's not going to make it a work today anyway.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Apologies in advance. That's why I'm kind of a I
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: don't want to sound like a desperate plea for phone callers,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm struggling with my cognitive abilities this morning. So
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, eight
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two three talk with Tom five fifty
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: on at and T phones. Terrible time for my wife
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: to be out of town on a business trip. Anyway,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: these shutdown continues, we'll point that out. Coming up in
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the fifty five Carsite morning show, Ken cober FLP President's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: seven oh five, we'll talk about downtown safet. We've got
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of shootings at the City Bird. We have
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: comments from AFTAB Parvoll on law enforcement. I guess he's
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: acknowledging we really do have a crime problem. Now welcome
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to reality. AFTAB Parvoll operable comments. Well, alternative comments with
• 38:02

• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Since we're in open voting right now, go ahead and vote.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about downtown safety with Ken Cobra A
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: couple up with seven oh five, follow by Aaron Weiner
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Charter Committee Canada for Sinceay City Council. He's got a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: plan for the CINCINNT Police Department. We'll find out how
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the campaign's going. Fast forward to eight oh five Insights
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Scoop with Bright Bart News Today we get the White
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: House correspondent Nick Gilbertson to talk about the Middle East
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: peace and Trump's victory so far. Keep your popcorn out.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: It ain't over till the fat Lady sings and no
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: fat ladies singing yet. We'll get the Daniel Davis Deep
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Dive with the latest on the Middle East piece as
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: well as rushing Ukraine and oder Exit. My friend Deb
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: from Otero Exit will join the program. Talk about that
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: at the end of the eight o'clock hour. Real quick here, Yeah,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: just a couple of observations of the government shutdown and
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: we're still shut down. A nod to Day this morning
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: for keeping track of how much money we're saving with
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the government being shut down. So Trump took care of
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the pressure point that was the military funding over the weekend.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Apparently he's shifting money to make sure our military members
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: will not miss a paycheck tomorrow. A little bit of
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: relief there. We of course have him moving forward with
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: layoffs to the Office of Management and Budget, which he
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: promised he would do. And state of flux concerning where
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: we're going right now. No sign that rank and file
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Senate Democrats are going to capitulate. You only need five
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: of them to turn the government back on. But no
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: sign that the rate to flip. So what are we
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: looking for? The ultimate pressure point? The November first launch
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act. Democrats are
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: waiting for the pain now and correct me if I'm wrong.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: My understanding is one point five million people are going
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: to be affected by the cutoff of subsidies for Obamacare.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: We live in a nation of three hundred and forty
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: or so million people, so that's a rather small segment
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: of the population. I know they probably will vote, but
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: is it really I mean, are we holding hostage a
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: vast majority of American people in connection with this subsidy? No,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: of course we're not so waiting for the November first
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: to open roll, but that means constituents, Oh my god,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting a tax credit anymore this year. So
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the small segment of people making north of four hundred
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: percent of poverty level are no longer going to get
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: their premium subsidized. Is that going to really amount to
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: some sort of massive revolt against Republicans. I don't see
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: it personally, but this is where we are. So wait
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: for the pain to hit, Wait for the phones to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: start ringing. Senator Rubin Golego, Democrat at Arizona. The closer
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: to November first, a lot of selected officials are going
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: to start hearing from their what else are they waiting for? Well,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: they're waiting shut down to inflict pain upon you. You're flying
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: an airplane. Yeah. CENA Majority leader John Thune pointed out
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: wait waiting for the shutdowns impact on air travels, saying
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: it's one way the senators, in his words, might start
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: to feel that a little bit personal.
• 41:02
  Speaker 14: HM.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Senator Dick Durbin separately noted last week how air traffic
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: controllers were a driving factor in the last shutdown. Ooh,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the American people are going to be able to fly,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: So let's make them feel that pain and force the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Republicans to capitulate and offer these north of four hundred
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: percent of the poverty level subsidies to continue, as well
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: as make eligible a whole lot of illegal immigrants. Yes,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: there's that in the background as well. And the other
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: component of this is kind of comical. I think it's
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: comical personally. Now, the House approved extension, the continuing Resolution
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: was passed in the House that keeps government funding levels
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: of the Biden era level right that expires November twenty first,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: right before Thanksgiving. But the more we TikTok TikTok in
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: a shutdown. The closer November twenty twenty first comes and
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the House being in recess means apparently they're not working
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: on the appropriations bill, which is the point of the
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: continuing resolution. We've got to get the twelve appropriations bill done.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: We need a continuing resolution to keep funding levels at
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the same rate as last year so we can get
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the work done that we have been well charged with
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: doing since the beginning of the fiscal year. Go ahead
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: and make fun of every one of them for not
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: getting that work done in advance of any deadline. They
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: need a deadline to force them into exactly what we're
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: doing right now. It's a big game they play every year,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: usually ending up with an omnibus spending bill that increases
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the amount of federal spending insanely and also includes a
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of things that Rhinos as well as Democrats
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: throw in there to well pad the books in their
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: own state. So now they're talking about maybe extending that
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: deadline in a new bill into well just before Christmas,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: just before Christmas, because of course every lot he's got
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: to go home for Christmas. This is just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone and see what Dennis has got. Dennis,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. I truly appreciate hearing from you.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling the way you are.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: A couple of things going around that you know, you
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: want to have your your physician look at your sinuses,
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: head and ears, and they if your equilibrium is off
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: and you're feeling kind of punk, it's probably going to
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: have something to do with that. Maybe it's a bug
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: going around and we've got to put up with it
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: in the usual things that public health and medical policy
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: ignore what putting us through this craft.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: That's in my own personal health. I do not feel congested.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I don't feel I mean, I don't feel ill at all,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: except I'm just walking around. I'm just kind of like
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: off balance and I just feel out of sorts. It's
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: just the weird. It's the strangest thing, man, And I
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: hate to even ament on air that I'm feeling this way.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give people an explanation for why
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: and maybe sell like an idiot this morning. So I
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: appreciate it.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I have him to do a blood work
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: up on you and make sure your platele account's good.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: And I just had that done. My cancer doctor just
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: did that about a week ago and everything was great.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got an outstanding report for my cancer doctors.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: So unless things have changed in the last seven days
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: or so, uh, it's not that. So I'm at a loss, sir,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I really am.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll say, if you know, not to make too
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: fine a point on it, but that's why God made bourbon,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: so I have got it too.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: It's like the way I feel right now, I feel
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: like I've been drinking bourbon. That's it's sort of a
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: drunken feeling. Anyway, go ahead, Dennis. I know you didn't
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: call to talk about that.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Well, actually I did, but that's the pretest. Hey, let
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: me go back to what we're having here in Hamilton
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: County as we've had a complete takeover of the government
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: by the by the idiots and the maniacs. And one
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: of the things that happened in the past five years
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: is the complete shifts in the way that elections are conducted.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: And some of it's above the rows and some of
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: it's beneath the rose, meaning that some of it was
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: done openly, but almost all of it was an agenda
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: that was designed to subvert the ability of the voters
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: at large to have a significant influence over there of
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: our environment. And one that I ran across which was
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: really interesting, and it was the way that the last
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: election in twenty twenty four was rigged locally, and it
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: had to do with a smudge, just a tiny, tiny
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: little smudge over CONNYE. Pillach's box on the ballot. This
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: is just one example, but it happened with such frequency
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: while I, myself and my wife were standing there in
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: the Board of Elections getting our ballots counted, and then
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: it became pretty evident the computer program was printing an
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: almost invisible smudge over Connie Pillage's box in the ballot,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: and what that would do is that if you voted
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: for her Republican opposition, it would kick the ballot. And
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: then the posts of the Board of Elections employees were
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: telling people to just oh, let it go. The rest
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: of your ballot'll count. And what they did was is
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: it rigged a significant shift in the count for the
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Prosecutor's office to the Democrat side. And the consequences of
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: that are being evident right now. With the total restriction
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: on the ability of police officers to get a warrant
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: issued for somebody, everything has to go through the prosecutor's office.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Well, Dennis, I got to be honest with you, I
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: have never heard anybody, and I've got a lot of
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: folks on the listening audience that are really keen on
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: election fraud and all this. No one has ever mentioned
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about this morning. I don't know where
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: you got the information of your personal experience, but as
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: far as it's being a widespread phenomenon, this is the
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: first time I've ever heard of it. So I have
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to let you know that right of here, because I
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: have never heard anything to that effect.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: It's firsthand. I witnessed it directly. And the interest, how do.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: You draw the conclusion it was pervasive though you said
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: you saw it firsthand, but then you extrapolate that into
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: it being a pervasive problem. I don't know how any
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: one individual can be aware of it being a pervasive
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: problem real easily.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: While I was getting my ballot reprocessed number one, the
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: ballot was marked across and the evidence was destroyed, torn
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: up right in front of me. I got a new ballot,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: went back to the same voting machine, and while I
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: was getting mine replaced, a young lady was trying to
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: get her processed and counted exactly the same problem, the
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: smudge on the ballot that caused the count to go
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: to pillage, and she was advised, all the rest of
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: your ballot will count, just to go. She had to
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: make it the work, and she let the ballot go through.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: And that occurred while the half hour forty minute period
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: involved my presence in front of the ballot counting machine.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: Jack directly witnessed, the directly witnessed the election bias that
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: was there and the destruction of my ballot when it
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: should have been kept as evidence.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Well, did you bring it to the attention of the
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: folks that were there, like the Republican side of those
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: that were monitoring the ballots of the election officials? I mean,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: did you bring it raise awareness to everybody in the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: room like this is going on? I mean, these problems,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: if you see them, need to be elevated immediately to
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: everybody's attention. That is, both sides of the political equation
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: who are there monitoring the integrity of the ballot. Other
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: than that, I have no way of Again, I can't
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: even comment on what you're saying because I've never heard
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: it before, So I appreciate what you're saying, Dennis, but
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I mean somebody's got to bring this to everybody's attention.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, here in the morning show in October of
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, you're raising for the first time that
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I've ever heard something that happened in November of twenty
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: twenty four. So we got a big window here, and
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of scratching my head over how this has
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: remained beneath everybody's radar. I appreciate the call, Dennis. I'm
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: not saying that you're lying. I'm just saying I've never
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: heard it before. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. That's
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: why we need people with loud voices to raise it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Dairly's attention got to run. It's six nineteen right now,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: fifty five ko City Talk Station. You got nagging joint pain? Yeah,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: that one that's keeping you well from enjoying. We're going
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: straight to the phone, six twenty four to fifty five
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Karo City Talk Station, Alan, thanks for calling this morning.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 49:44
  Speaker 15: Hey there, Sorry you're feeling kind of yucky. I just
• 49:46
  Speaker 15: wanted to share with I just wanted to share with
• 49:49
  Speaker 15: you I have a condition to call positional vertigo, and
• 49:51
  Speaker 15: my understanding is that there's small little crystals in the
• 49:54
  Speaker 15: inner ear that help us to know where we are
• 49:56
  Speaker 15: in the world. Is to get older, this crystals could
• 49:58
  Speaker 15: get out of position. To call it a so called
• 50:00
  Speaker 15: room spinning type of feeling. If you can do you
• 50:03
  Speaker 15: can do a Google Google position with vertigo to see
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: if the symptoms sound like what you're experiencing. There are
• 50:09
  Speaker 15: YouTube videos and how to diagnose yourself and some simple
• 50:11
  Speaker 15: exercises you can do at home to get the crystals
• 50:14
  Speaker 15: back into position. But it's kind of a cronic condition.
• 50:16
  Speaker 15: Once you start getting it, it keeps on coming back every
• 50:18
  Speaker 15: so often.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: There's this positional vertigo, right.
• 50:22
  Speaker 15: It has a longer name than that, but that's the
• 50:24
  Speaker 15: short cut version.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 50:26
  Speaker 15: Also, you can also see an E.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: And T doctor.
• 50:28
  Speaker 15: They are actually the ones who can determine that because
• 50:30
  Speaker 15: they do with the inner ear. That's because there's the
• 50:32
  Speaker 15: actual physical thing going on in there. It's not the
• 50:34
  Speaker 15: same as just being like regular dizzy. This is actually
• 50:38
  Speaker 15: your The fact, the way they test it is your
• 50:39
  Speaker 15: eyes shake back and forth like you're in a washing
• 50:41
  Speaker 15: machine going really really fast.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Well, fortunately I am not exhibiting that syndrome right now,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: but I am feeling the Disney compart. That's why I said,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: maybe it's an inner ear problem or something. And I
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: don't feel like I have any allergies. To uh Alisa
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: who just emailed me or facebooked me, you know, I
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: don't feel like I got allergies. I don't know what
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: the issue is. It's weird, Alan, That's all I can tay.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: But I will look up positional vertigo and I hope
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I don't have it because this is this is an
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: onset of some new phenomenon this morning. I'm really I'm
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: spaced out right now. It just kind of weird. Thank you, sir.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the concern. If I have care, see the
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: talk station. Thanks to the last caller, I just learned
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: what the Epley maneuver is. Yeah, oh, apparently I may
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: have that condition he described. Yeah, positional vertigo. That sounds
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: like exactly what I got, man. I appreciate the heads
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: up on that. I will I'll do the Epley maneuver
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: when I got a moment in time to do it.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven, two
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: three Talk Cribbage Mike my submariner friend. Congratulations and happy
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: anniversary to you. The Navy celebrated its two hundred and
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: fiftieth year anniversary yesterday.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian.
• 51:51
  Speaker 14: And then, you know, if I could, I would bring
• 51:53
  Speaker 14: my board down to the studio right now for a
• 51:56
  Speaker 14: therapeutic game of cribbage. I'm sure that would just bring
• 51:58
  Speaker 14: you right around.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Oh that's what you need me at a disadvantage. Is
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: that what you're saying since I beat you again last time?
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Huh huh huh.
• 52:06
  Speaker 14: I didn't even look at it that way.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Oh sure you didn't.
• 52:10
  Speaker 14: Hey, I'm not a doctor and I don't play one
• 52:12
  Speaker 14: on TV. But you know the symptoms that you described
• 52:15
  Speaker 14: where you're having cognitive abilities and you're a little dizzy
• 52:18
  Speaker 14: and you're not thinking straight. I recommend you go directly
• 52:21
  Speaker 14: home because if you are seen out in public, you
• 52:23
  Speaker 14: may be mistaken for a democrat.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Is is this in my head what they feel like
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: all the time?
• 52:32
  Speaker 14: I got twenty four seven Joe Biden reels there you go.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe you've stumbled upon Well now I have
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a better understanding of the opposition.
• 52:43
  Speaker 14: Little empathy, little empathy, appreciate it. Yes, Hey, So along
• 52:47
  Speaker 14: with the Navy, and our good friend Joe Strucker's birthday. Yesterday,
• 52:51
  Speaker 14: a lot of us had the pleasure of celebrating the
• 52:54
  Speaker 14: one hundred and second birthday in Anderson Township of mister
• 52:59
  Speaker 14: Hank Marsham. He's a World War Two for me veteran,
• 53:03
  Speaker 14: and the assisted living Facility put on a phenomenal celebration
• 53:08
  Speaker 14: for him. The placeless packed, the Anderson Fire and police
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: were there. We had an Army color guard. We had
• 53:15
  Speaker 14: two representatives from the Hamilton County Pipers, and you know,
• 53:19
  Speaker 14: I'm a sucker for a bagpipe.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 53:20
  Speaker 14: They played very patriotic music and one of the trustees
• 53:25
  Speaker 14: was there to make it Hank marsh On day and
• 53:28
  Speaker 14: Anderson Township. That's great and it reminded me so much
• 53:32
  Speaker 14: when we celebrated Bob Dulin's hundred and fifth and this
• 53:35
  Speaker 14: Hank yesterday. I got a chance to talk to him,
• 53:38
  Speaker 14: sharp as attack. He would give you a run for
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: your money today, let.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Me tell you well, and pretty much anybody can, but
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: not to discount Hank. I will give credit to Bob
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Wetter out there, mister humanitarian himself, the guy that's responsible
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: for the wistory. He's the one that sent me a
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: picture of Hank yesterday and told me it was Hank's
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and second birthday. So I did mention it once
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: on the Morning show yesterday.
• 53:59
  Speaker 14: I'm glad that's got the word out, and I know
• 54:03
  Speaker 14: the assistant living facility did a lot, and really the
• 54:07
  Speaker 14: place was packed and it was kind of a surprise
• 54:09
  Speaker 14: when they wheeled him in and we all sang Happy
• 54:11
  Speaker 14: birthday and just you know, that's you know, you get
• 54:14
  Speaker 14: days like that, and of course it can't beat the
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: news of what happened in Israel yesterday, but with all
• 54:18
  Speaker 14: the other muck that you unfortunately have to report every day,
• 54:22
  Speaker 14: you know, events like that, and I can't help but
• 54:24
  Speaker 14: tag in two weeks we have our last honor flight
• 54:26
  Speaker 14: for twenty twenty five on October twenty eighth. You know,
• 54:29
  Speaker 14: you know what that's like. And that was just a
• 54:31
  Speaker 14: little snippet of it yesterday, celebrating this greatest generation and
• 54:35
  Speaker 14: a true patriot.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: That's great, And you know what, I can't thank you enough,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Mike for calling in reminding folks about that. I'm always
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: searching for, you know, wonderful things and little miracles that
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: happened in the world that we quite often we overlook
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: and the fact that he lived that long, that he
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: served his country. I saw the picture of him when
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: he enlisted. God, he looked like he was twelve years old.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: I mean exactly.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: He was a kid.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: I mean a genuine kid. Yeah. Just and you know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: for everybody who's supported him and showed up for the
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: event yesterday, and you know, to Pappis and Bob Wetter
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and you, thank you very much for for acknowledging Hank.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate you, Hank, for your service to our country.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: And God bless you, sir. That's wonderful.
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: It.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it, I really do. Mike, thanks very much.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Feel I appreciate that too. I'm hoping I will with
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the Epply maneuver as soon as I get a break
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: real quick. Here police Department said. The responded they responded
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: to a report of a shooting in Westwood. Oh this
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: never happens in Dowtown. Cincinnati Officer's dispatch to wes Knowles
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Lane yesterday and Westwood reports of a person shot. Officers
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: on the scene perform CPR on the victim. No further
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: details available. A developing story, of course. We have the
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: city bird shooting with a couple of people shot yesterday,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: requiring a have to have purval to come out. Apparently acknowledge
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: that we have a problem with gun violence in town. Hm,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: the violence continues, the recent violence and Fountain Square Government
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Square is beyond the pale and intolerable, said Aftab parvall.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I thought we had a peaceful, quiet community. This violence
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: is in the literal heart of our downtown. We've been
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: relentless with a litany of both police and non police interventions,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: and yet the violence continues. Huh, I thought there was
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: nothing to see here. Isn't that the word that Aftab
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: par of Ball put out earlier? Anyway, six thirty five
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: ffty five KR City Talk station. Feel free to call,
• 56:28

• 57:09
  Speaker 16: paddock in southbound two seventy five at the Carrol Proper Bridge,
• 57:14
  Speaker 16: Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs seat deep talk station.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Six forty here fifty five kr SEB talk station. World's
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: in a bit of a subultory mood, seeing that we
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: have some sort of at least movement toward peace and
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: parlia Middle East anyway, everybody painfully aware of what's going
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: on there and the idea we've got the hostages released
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: last twenty living still waiting on the remains of the
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: dead hostages, and of course Israel getting ready to release
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: the Palestinian hostages. And Walter Mead had an interesting observation
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: about where we are on this yes, turning to and
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: relying on and standing on the shoulder of giants this morning,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: given my mental health state, and I thought good, given
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: by the standard of Donald Trump's larger than life. Second
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: term October thirteenth looms large. He writes, released to the
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: last living hostages from their inhumane and indefensible captivity. Trump's
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: speech at the canness It and his presence shortly afterward
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: in Charmel, Shake, Egypt, at a global summit that only
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: he could convene were extraordinary. As much too soon to
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: tell what that all means. Events are still moving quickly
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: and it will be months or even years before the
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: result could be fully assessed. But as joyful videos of
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: hostages reuniting with their families flooded the Internet, we know
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: five things about what just happened. The first, most obvious,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: the hostages are home. The dark cloud hanging over Israel
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: and the Jewish people worldwide since the atrocity of October seventh,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: twenty three is lifted. There is mourning for the dead,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: horror at the survivor's suffering, and gratitude for the heroism
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: of those who gave their lives in Israel's defense. After
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the attacks, the nightmare is over and the healing can begin.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: The second is that only Trump could have made this happen.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: No other living politician could have reassured Israel threatened to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: most and passed together a broad Arab coalition the way
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: he's done. Mister Trump has his shortcomings, and even he
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: wonders if he will get into heaven. But he's a
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: leader who bestrides the world seen like no other. Third
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Nettyahoo has cemented his place in history of the
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Jewish people. He has his flaws and has made his
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: share of costly mistakes, but the same can be said
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: of ancient leaders like Samson and David, as well as
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: modern heroes like David Ben Jurian Go to My Air
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: and Moishe Diane. Mister Netanyahu imposed his leadership on a
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: country that yearned to reject him, brought order to an
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: unruly coalition, and combined flexibility of means with steadfastness of
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: purpose to bring Israel's greatest and most harrowing war to
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: a triumphant conclusion. Fourth stripe, Mister, Despite mister Trump's optimism,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: the Middle East hasn't yet entered an era of peace.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: That the summit in Shuramau Shak Egypt communicats will be signed,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: But the core cause of the conflict hasn't been and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: perhaps can't be resolved. The existence of a Jewish state
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: in the predominantly Muslim Middle East. Present East presents an
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: unendurable civilizational and religious affront to so many of the
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: region's population that Israel has had to become an armed
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: camp to survive. And the Israel Palestinian conflict is far
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: from the only one in Middle East. Ethnic and religious
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: tensions have ripped Syria and Lobanon apart. Chie hottest ideology
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: is resurgent in much of the region. Even so called
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: modern Islamism, as in recept Erdigon's Turkey, refuses to repudiate
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: groups like Kamas, you know, and looking at his five points,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: that may be the core of everything right there religious
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: disputes which I will call childish fifth. While the Gods
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Accords are President Trump's most spectacular triumph to date his
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: biggest international challenge. Why I had Hamas like its backers
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: in Iran, was and is a nihilistic force. It was
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: the enemy of every Arab government in the Middle East.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: It had no positive program for the people it ruled,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and its political goals were utterly impractical. Its tactics, whereas
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: revolting as its methods, were brutal that a movement so
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: deranged and misguided could command such a wide support among
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the world's restless youth reflects in part, the careless sentimentalism
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: of people whose genuine concern for the Palestinians blinded them
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: to the cynical and bloodthirsty duplicity of Hamas Amen. And
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: of course, the virus of anti Semitism, to which half
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: educated mind seem particularly vulnerable, had its part to play.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: But the capacity to incite greta thunbird to join a
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: flotilla isn't real international power. Mister Trump's triumph of Ramas
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: comes from his ability to organize a coalition of realists
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: against the pretensions of fanaticists. The Gulf Arabs want stability
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: in the region so they can develop their economies and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: attract international investment without the perpetual upheaval of chaos on
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: which Amas thrives. That's the lynchpin to Trump's success in
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: the region. Wake up, idiots, you guys can trade together.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: You can live and thrive and survive together. It'll be
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: good for all of your economies if you just put
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: down your stupid ideological beliefs and get along and quit
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: killing each other. What a great message. Huh Okay, we
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: here in Saudi Arabia can live a peaceful existence. Is
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: a country, Saudi Arabia, while oh, look over there, Cutter
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: is living its own peaceful existence with it and its borders.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: And look, yeah, we can play along with Israel, just fine.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Do we like that they were there? Well maybe not
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: because they did take over some previously, you know, Arab
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: dominated space or whatever. But this problem's been going on
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: for thousands of years. Okay, so let's play nicely with
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: the Israelis. Apparently they got their act together. They have
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: a booming economy. Look at them compared to where we are.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Uh sorry, it's my mood today. Back over to the
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Trump's triph over Moss. They also want to most to
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: suffer the kind of crushing defeat that would reduce its
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: ideological appeal among their own citizens. This would be the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: Arab Gulf Arab states. Yes they do. Israel wants security
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: for its people, stating the obvious. Europeans won an end
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: to a war that agitated their immigrant populations and increased
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: the risk of domestic terror. Look at what's going on
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: in the streets of Europe. Yes, violent protests in the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: name of the Palestinian state or whatever. Mister Trump's genius
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: was to find a frame work within which these different powers,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: with their different priorities could end could work together toward
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: their common goal. It is a real accomplishment and deserves
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: the world's gratitude and respect. But the next steps will
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: be harder. The Russian and Chinese governments, even when misguided,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: have a rationally and consistency that Hamas a rationality rather inconsistency,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: that Hamas never did. Hamas dug tunnels. Russia and China
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: build nuclear weapons, and I will interject and also hack
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: into our critical infrastructure. The skill of flexibility, encouraged mister
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Trump demonstrated in his campaign against a Moss, will stand
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: him in good stead in the competition with Russia and China.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: But it remains to be seen whether this president and
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: the country he leads are ready for this sterner test
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to come. Food for thought. Thank you Walter Russell Meade
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: for giving me an opportunity to well read six eight
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC detalk station. Plum typ plumbing always plumbing
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: done right. You're in excellent hands with the plumbers of
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: plumb type plumbing. And if your hot water heater goes
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: belly up, now's the time to get in touch with
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: plumb Tight, the Tri States leader in tankless waters heaters
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: take up very little space. The tankless does about the
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: size of the small suitcase hanging on the wall, freeing
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: up all that space your hot water heater is taking up.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Go tankless to have unlimited hot water. I think that
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: may be the key reason you'll never run out. And
• 1:05:27

  Speaker 1: absolutely nothing been talking about. I just got a big
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: kick out of this.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: With FCC non compliant editorial comments written on the article
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: by executive producer Joe Strecker Inhaler's people that have respiratory conditions,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: you know, the inhalers you have, Well, apparently you are
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: killing the planet, you evil inhaler using asthmatics. The study
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: published in the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMMA,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: apparently researchers found that inhalers approve for asthma and chronic
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: obstructive pulmonary disease generated twenty four point nine million metric
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of MISI in the US
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: alone between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty four over a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: ten year period. They say this is the equivalent to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the emissions of five hundred and thirty thousand gasoline powered
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: cars every year, gord to the authors, scaled across tens
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: of millions of Inhaler's dispense annually. These emissions drive global warming,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: exacerbating the very respiratory conditions inhalers are meant to relieve.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's a circuitous problem here. Global warming is
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: causing you to have asthma. Asthma were required to use
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: the inhaler. The inhaler causes global warming sucks to be
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: I guess us living on the planet Earth. That is,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: if you believe carbon dioxide plant food is actually a problem,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: and I am one that does not. Twenty eight million
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Americans have asthma, thirty four million of chronic lung disease.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: According to the Asthma Allergy Foundation, these cases are ready
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: expected to grow well as climate change makes air pollution worse.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: They said, meter dose inhaler is the most harmful to
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: the environment, accounting for ninety eight percent of emissions over
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: that decade long period. I think this is a revealing
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: of the reality that we're facing here now for folks
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: like me who regularly observe that the city of Cincinnati
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: can't do a blanken thing about global warming on its own,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: notably because we have the Chinese Communist Party belching out
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: emissions that go across the entire planet Earth's atmosphere. We're
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: all breathing the same air they belch out more than
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: we remove from the environment nationally. So City of Cincinnati,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: you can just forget about your efforts. It's not helping anything,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: and then we have this pervasive problem of inhalers, probably
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: just one singular product among most notably thousands of products
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: out in the world that have some connection with putting
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And while Greta Thunberg cries,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: the trees and the plants are all well very happy
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: with that reality. Six to fifty five fifty five KRC,

• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: of the Fraternal Order Police Chapter sixty nine, which represents
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: the SINCINNTI Police Department. Ken Cober, are always a pleasure
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: to have you on the fifty five Krsee Morning Show.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Too bad. There's nothing to talk about, right Ken, what
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: your react? You had a couple more shootings. Violence obviously
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: a real problem. The city of Cincinnati residents at least
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: feel violence is a problem. You and I could cite
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: all day long the number of crimes and violence and
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: shootings and murders and everything else that's going on in
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. We I think we have a
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: crime problem, and that way up until like a moment
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: in time ago, a tab pervol denying that we have
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: a problem, thinking that MAGA is going to like ruin
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: the progress we've made in terms of safety. I saw
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: his campaign literature the other day. He kept talking about
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: how safe we are and I don't feel that way.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: What is your reaction? What is your perception at least
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: the since a police department, the officers that you represent,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: their perception of safety and how what is their perception
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: of the mayor. I know you got a new confidence
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: vote with Mayor have tab Purvol, so let's talk.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I could tell you that you know the perception
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: and it's it's actually reality is that crime is running
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: rampant right now. And you know the members spoke doing
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: a vote of no confidence. They don't have any confidence
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: in this mayor leading the city, which is exactly why
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: it's done. And you know, I've been throughout the districts
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: and I know it has gotten full support of every
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: officer that I've talked to.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: Well he seem and I know Corey Bowman's you know
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: comment about after have Parvoll, he's been react active. You know,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: something bad happens. He doesn't get ahead of problems with
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: regard to policing, staffing, where they're located. I don't know
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: how much control Mayor Aftab Purvol has about where the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: police are allocated. In terms of resources, you obviously need
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of hundred additional officers. That's been a ongoing problem.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: But does he have any control over how these police
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: officer resources are allocated or is that square in the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: lap of police chief Diji?
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, is somebody within city administration?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Does?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: I mean? I know the mayor is taken credit for
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: all the millions of dollars that has been allocated for
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: the police, you know, as far as how those resources
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: are deployed, I'm sure it's a conversation that the chief
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: has with whether it's a city manager or the mayor.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: I do believe ultimately it does fall in the police chief.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: But of course we have an election year, so politics
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: are running rampant, and there's a lot of things that
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: I believe politicians are interjecting themselves in that isn't necessarily
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: good for the police department.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Well, specifically, what I would I mean, if I can say,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: if if if Ken Cobra FOP president is the mayor,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: what would you do and what what what is your desire?
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: What are the desires of the men and women in
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: uniform right now that aren't being addressed?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Well, let the police chief the r the police department,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: you know, and let her make the decisions that she
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: feels she needs to make without having city leaders tell
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: her this is what you're gonna do. I'm a perfect
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: example of that. And we saw that cops are being
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: ordered to work, uh you know, work walking patrols on
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: their off time, on an off day, they cancel their
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: off days and they order them to work and you
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: know walk on Main Street and Vine Street from Central
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: Parkway to Liberty Street. That wasn't something that the police
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: chief just came up with. This is something that city
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: halls and it's things like that that you know, we're
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: we're using you know, resources there when maybe they could
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: be used somewhere differently.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of neighborhoods in the City of
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati we've seen to be focusing on the you know,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: like Government Square proputms. I knew after that was on
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: a tear about the issues going on in Government Square,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: thinking maybe sort of might be able to hammer it out.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: What do you just real quick on that issue because
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: I was kind of scratching my head over the mayor's
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: comments looking for changes to Government Square. Wow, why is
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: that the magnet? And if you crack down on Government Square,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: which is just loading and unloading zone. From my understanding
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: for buses, wouldn't those reckless, you know, law breaking youths
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: or whoever's hanging out there just move someplace else.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you know this, this has been the topic of
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: discussion for the last two years now, is you see
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: what's going on with juveniles. You have juveniles that have
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: no business being downtown, but because they're given these bus
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: passes after school, they all congregate downtown. So you have
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: kids that don't belong, that don't live downtown, that are
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: coming down there, and of course and they're clashing with
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: kids from other neighborhoods that are driving as violence. And
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: that's that is the really the crux of what the
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: problems that we see after school, like Government Square, These
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: aren't kids that are running around downtown that live down there.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: These are kids from Evanston, from Westwood, you know, neighborhoods
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: all over the city that all come to the central
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: location that quite honestly a lot of them don't have
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: any business being down there to begin with.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: So, Yeah, in spite of my reaction this morning to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: what may I have to have purwell said, so there
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: is really something to that is it? Is it just
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: the transportation system generally, that by concentrating them there and
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: by requiring all these these school aged kids to you know,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: ride the metro buses and end up in Government Square
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: because it just that's the whe where the central location
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: is that needs to be rethought or changed.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean you have it's been suggested, and
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: it's fallen on deaf ears as you have the transit
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: center under Second Street that that could be used for
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: a bus depot. That's exactly what it was built and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: designed to be. Yeah, and if you're if the kids
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: are down there, it's not an attractive rut to me. Yeah,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: it's it's there's there's less opportunity for them to go
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: disrupt businesses because you're literally, you know, in a in
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: a concrete area where it is sole purpose is to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: get on one bus to go to another. You know.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: Put it in the heart of downtown, you know, at
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Fifth and Walna, in Fifth and Maine, and you have
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: an opportunity with all these businesses with people there, for
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: kids just to be disruptive. And like I said, it's
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: been talked about and there's been so much pushback about
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: it that transit tunnel sits empty ninety nine percent of
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: the year. That's what I believe that they should look
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: at moving that transit center down there to alleviate some
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: of these problems.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a brilliant idea. You say, there's been
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: pushback on that, pushback in what I mean, maybe not
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: necessarily so much from whom, But what what is the
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: argument against what seems like a very logical solution to
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: the problem, at least something that it's worth trying out right, Well, I.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: Know from the metro perspective, and I can certainly understand
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: where they're coming from, because you have these routes. They
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: have routes down to literally a tenth of a mile,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: how long it takes, how much fuel it takes, all
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: these things, And their contention is if we move at
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: a half a mile, then the cost of doing business
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: is going to go up, which I understand that, But
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: the cost of leaving that where it is and destroying
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: downtown and businesses I think is probably going to be
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: much greater than what the cost of fuel is going
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: to be to move the bus depot half a mile.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Well, if you had to crunch the numbers and the
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: allocation of police resources and the impact on business alone,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: I have to imagine that those two costs combined are
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: greater than whatever it is would would be the cost
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: impact of maybe dropping them off down at Second Street.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Now, absolutely, that's what I said. I mean, we're at
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: the point now where in my twenty five year career
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: I hadn't heard of of one shooting at Fountain Square,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: much less two and five days, And it's only a
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: matter of time before these businesses go enoughs enough, We're
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: not dealing with this anymore. You know, you have police
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: officers that are standing in Fountain Square and they're people
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: shooting each other anyway, So they've got to do something
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to deal with this. You know,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: the these traditional methods of wow, we're just going to
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: throw fifty policemen down there, it's clearly not working. So
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: they're going to have to think outside of the box
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: and find a way to solve this problem, and they
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: better solve it quickly.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: FOP President Cankalber, I'm gonna pause, We'll bring it back
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: and maybe get a few more questions about the situation
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati. We do have an election coming up.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: We could choose a different path in the city, and
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: that's been my strong encouragement, most notably since my police
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: department friends don't have any confidence in have to have
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: parwall question, do they have confidence in police chief? Teresa Thigi?
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: Let me ask that question coming back, Ken, preparing you
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: for the next question seven to fifteen right now if
• 1:19:49

  Speaker 1: it the allocation of resources and police patrols and decision
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: making with regard to since St Police Department and where
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: they are that should be left up to police chief
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: three Cythigi. Do the men and women in uniform have
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: confidence in police chief? Three Cythigi. I've heard, and I've
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: heard it from quite a few of the officers that
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: I know, the answer to that question is no. That's
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: what I have heard, and I know it's a delicate
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: question to ask you FOP President Ken Kober, But where
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: are we with regard to police Chief three Cythigi.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no one's come to me and said, look, I
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: think we should take some kind of vote and no
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: confidence on the chief. And this is where a lot
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: of the frustration lies is in two thousand and five,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: when the voters passed Issue five that gave the city
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: the sole authority to hire and fire a police chief.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: It completely ruined the position of chief. Now you have
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: the police chief, and it's not just Chief Thiji, it's
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: been every chief that's come after Chief Striker when he
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: retired in twenty ten. They behold to the city manager
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: and the mayor politics if they say, yeah, it's all politics.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: And that's why I've been very very vocal about politicians
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: need to stay out a law enforcement and unfortunately we
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: don't have that. We saw it when James Craig first
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: got elected or first got appointed, and he was here
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: for two years, made some fantastic changes. The troops loved him,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: and they got rid of him because the troops loved him.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: So now you know, fast forward to Chief Fiji, and
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: it's like she's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: And I get it. Now you have a boss that
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: you have to answer to that's going to tell you you're
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: gonna do this, You're gonna do that, and if you
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: don't do it, then the consequences could be your terminated.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: So would I like to see her do things differently?
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: I would, But I also understand that you have somebody
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: have to answer to. And if the mayor, of the
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: city manager, or whoever it is that's above you is
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: telling you you're gonna do this if you want to
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: stay employed, that's what you have to do.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: You know. I am so glad that I asked you
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: the question because I had I guess either wasn't aware
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: or had forgotten the old way versus the new way.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Who is in a better position to determine who the
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: chief of police is than the police officers themselves. I mean,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: you guys are ladies and men. Are not going to
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: select someone that's not going to be in your best interest.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: You're gonna look for the most competent person, the one
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: who's going to hire based on merit, who's going to
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: provide promotions based upon merit as opposed to who's politically connected,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: who fills in the right checkbox on some woke identity form.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: You know, is there any possibility we can go back
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: to that Ken.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and you know it would take some kind
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: of ballot initiative. But you know, while I understand, you know,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: this was the will of the people in two thousand
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: and five, I think there should be there could be
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: some compromise to be made. I think anytime you leave
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: it to one or two people to determine, you know,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: whether or not, you know, the police chief is going
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: to stay in that position, I think that that creates problems.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: You know what, maybe it's a something where you know,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: they put about initiative on where you know, we consider
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: maybe the majority of council decides, you know, whether or
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: not we hire or fire somebody. I don't know. There's
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of things that I think need to be explored.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: But you know, the position a police chief needs to
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: come with some protections. You know, if it's not FOP protection,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: then they got to be able to know that they
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: can do and go out and do what they think
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: is best for the police department, best for the city
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, and do that without fear of making one
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: person upset who's a politician, and and them have the
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: ability just to get rid of it. Certainly handcuffs the
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: police chief. And that's why you see. You know, it's
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: not just Cincinnati, but all these major cities that now
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: have this, They have a new police chief every two, three,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: four years. Yeah, we've gone through the same thing here,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: and it does a disservice not only did the police
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: department to the men and women that served this police department,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: but also for the citizens. They deserve to have a
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: police chief that is able to make decisions based off
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: of what they think is best for law enforcement in
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: the city, not based off of what a politician thinks
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: we should do.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: And who I would argue that who would know better
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: as police chief than someone who came up through the
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: ranks within the City of Cincinnati police department. You hire
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: somebody from some other city out there in the world,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: it's going to take him forever to get up to
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: speed on how we operate here in the city. You
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: can't just hit the ground running in that position. I
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: would believe maybe I'm wrong on that.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right, you know, like I said in
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: James Craig was one of the few. He hit the
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: ground running and did an absolutely fantastic job. I mean,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: he was what this city needed what the police department
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: needed at that time, and he did a fantastic job.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, because he stood on his own two feet
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: and stood up to you know, at the time, the
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: politicians that were at city Hall, you know he was
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: there for two years, they didn't even offer a contract extension.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: They said, yeah, thanks, but no thanks to you later.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: And then of course he went up to Detroit and
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: did some fantastic work up there. But you know, as
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: long as this system is in place, you're never going
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: to have a police chief that is going to stand
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: there and say, no, I'm going to do what I
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: think is best as a law enforcement professional. Is you
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: know if that differs from what a politician says, because
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, if they want to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: stay employed, they're going to do what politicians tell him
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: to do. And that's that is a slippery slope and
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: we're seeing the effects of that now.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: I cannot thank you enough for coming in the Morning
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: show today, Ken Cober. I appreciate that profound honesty and
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: eye opening reality of what you're dealing with there. I
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: think you've hit the nail on the head, my friend,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: and first time I've had a discussion involving that component
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: of the sinsint Police Department. So maybe we can change
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: things going down the road. In the meantime, we're stuck
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: with what we've got and elections do have consequences. FLP
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: President Ken Cober, thanks again, man, this has been a
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: really enlightening converce, so I appreciate coming on the show
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: talking about it. It's seven twenty nine here fifty five
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: krs DE talk station. Happy Tuesday. We get the inside
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: scoop from bright bart News on the situation of Middle
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: East peace. We'll get the Daniel Davis Deep Dive coming
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: up in one hour. In the meantime. Welcome back to
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: the fifty five CARSSE Morning Show run for CINCINNTI Council
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: as a Charter Right candidate, Aaron Weiner, who also has
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: and congratulations Aaron, welcome back the FOP endorsement on the
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: heels of ken Cobra being on the program. Good to
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: have you back on.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 6: Sir, Thanks for having me.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 10: It's great to be back.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: I guess one of the reasons you have the FOP endorsement,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: and again, congratulations. I think that speaks volumes right. That's
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: a really good one. Now you've got an actual written
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: down for all to see and read proposal, which is
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: a two prong approach to deal with the police staffing
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: shortage and the problems we've got going on the City
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. One is the Frontline Home Advantage Program initial
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: CAP and the other the Officer Retention Incentive strategy. Break
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: these down for my listeners, because I think that, I mean,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: we need more police officers. There's a shortage of officers,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: stating the obvious for the world to hear. Everywhere, everyone
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: has lost officers because of this whole crap about defunding
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: police and police are all racists and nobody wants to
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: be a police officer. Fine, so we're competing with every
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: other jurisdiction in the land for police officers. Were already
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: down a couple of hundred hires. You got hang a
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: carrot of incentive out there, and I think that's what
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: your program is talking about. So let's talk about the
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Frontline Home Advantage Program.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 10: Erin great thank you. So when I got into this,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 10: I wanted to actually have some plans. I didn't want
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 10: to just have ideas get on count So I wanted
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 10: to make sure that I actually had a plan, and
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 10: I wanted to use what I knew, and that's real estate.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 10: So the front the first prong of the Frontline Home
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 10: Advantage program is a down payment assistance program. Let's bring
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 10: police officers back into our city. I don't think any
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 10: of many live in the city. And the first part
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 10: of that is a downtayment assistance program. So let's just
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 10: say that you save up to seven thousand, five hundred dollars,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 10: We'll match seven thousand, five hundred dollars. All of a sudden,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 10: you have fifteen thousand dollars to put down on a property.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 10: So that's five percent of a three hundred thousand dollars house,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 10: which is probably about the average price of a house
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 10: right now. The other portion of that is a rental
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 10: assistance program. Not all officers are going to be in
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 10: a position maybe they want to buy right away. So
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 10: let's develop a plan where we give some rental stipends,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 10: you know, two hundred and fifty dollars up to eight
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 10: hundred dollars. Let's bring in some of our landlords in
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 10: the neighborhoods. Let's talk to town properties, talk to uptown
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 10: and see if they can give us some breaks on
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 10: this to bring to bring people into the city and.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Well, darn I got let me just introject real quick
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: on that component. I always thought, you know, having a
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: police officer in the neighborhood was a good thing. Like
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: when we were selling our house in Oak Park, Illinois,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: there was a cop that lived about four doors down
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: the street, and so when someone would come to our house,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: my wife would always make a point of the Hey,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a police officer. It's just a few
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: doors down. It's like, hey, you sort of have this
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: built in extra protection. Not that you're volunteering a police
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: officer to do law enforcement twenty four to seven, but
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: I think it is sort of a peace of mind
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: thing that goes along with the rental, like, hey, you
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: got a cop in the building. Isn't that a good thing?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, you're touching on. Really one of the one of
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 10: the main byproducts in the holistic aspect of this of
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 10: this program is that it addresses lots of issues and
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 10: solving crime is not is not a quick fix. That's
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 10: a long term process. So what it does it does
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 10: it brings leadership into our communities. All of a sudden,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 10: people have someone that can look up to, maybe children
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 10: have someone they can look up to maybe want to
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 10: be a police officer someday. It also brings, like you said, visibility,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 10: they're going to bring the cop cards home. You know what,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 10: Landlard wouldn't want a police officer living in they're building.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 10: I think also also to what it does, Brian, which
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 10: is I don't think anyone would have a problem with
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 10: this no matter where you are politically. It deals with
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 10: the issue of trust, right, So all of a sudden
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 10: someone is your neighbor. It's hard to be indifferent when
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 10: someone is your neighbors. So you have that you build
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 10: that trust with with our police officers, which really speaks
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 10: to the community policing, which is which is a cornerstone
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 10: of our policing in the city. So to me, it's
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 10: just so many It solves so many issues in this process.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: I love the idea. The only counter argument to the
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: incentives you're suggesting for living in the city of Cincinnati
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: is does requiring a police officer to live within the
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: city limits operate as a disincentive for outside lateral hires
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Because clearly we have some issues in the city of
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: sin saying in terms of crime and living and all
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 14: Let me be clear.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 10: First of all, it's not even legal to require them
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 10: to live here. This is an incentive. This is a
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 10: way to it's a recruiting incentive, and it's a way
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 10: to add a carrot to our recruiting process and just
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 10: an incentive. And with the cost of rents now, especially
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 10: some of the younger police officers, if they're getting a
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 10: break on their rent, it might be an easy incentive
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 10: for them to want to come and work with us.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 10: So it's absolutely not a mandate, and I do not
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 10: want that to be misconstrued. It's an incentive. It's an incentive.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: It's there for the taking. If it operates as an
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: incentive for a lateral higher than bully for everybody, it worked,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: So I like it. I really really like the idea
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: of having a physical police officer sort of in my
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: building or as my neighbor. I'll emphasize that yet again,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: let's pause. That was the frontline home advantage program. There's
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: another component to what Aaron's running on, and this is
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: the officer retention incentive strategy. We'll break that down. We
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: get back at seven thirty five right now, fifty five
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: K station at fifty five ar CEE talk station and
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: find them online. Help out his campaign. Aaron Winer on
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: the program, returning It's Winer w E I N E
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: R four f O R Cincinnati dot com. Check out
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: his website. He's common sense guy and real quickly before
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: leaving the frontline Home Advantage program providing some financial assistance
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: to police officers to get a home or some rent assistance.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: You are you've been in real estate for I understand
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: like twenty five years, so you understand this component. But
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: the funding for this particular program you're you're suggesting will
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: be from, at least in part participating realtors with the
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: reduction in their commission to help deal with that rent reduction.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: That's and the seventy five hundred dollars toward purchase of
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: a home. So do you have folks who are willing
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: to participate beyond you erin?
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 10: Well, I think let's let's let's let's start with that.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 10: That to be candid, I would I would recuse myself
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 10: from doing this program if I were an elected official
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 10: jute too, just to.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: You know, avoid the appearance of impropriety. Yes, I get it.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 10: In propriety correct, I would certainly be an ardent supporter
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 10: of it. But yes, so as as a realtor, we
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 10: we're it's basically called an acinity program. And certainly they
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 10: have them with the hospitals, they have them with with
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 10: UC and we're used to if we're working with the
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 10: relocation company bringing someone in with Procter and Gamble, we're
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 10: used to paying a referral fee for that business. And
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 10: certainly it's not ideal and some agents like to do it,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 10: some agents don't like to do it, but it's certainly
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 10: a part of our business model. We're independent contractors. Either
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 10: you do it or you don't. But these referral fees
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 10: can be anywhere between thirty five and forty five percent
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 10: of the commission that's earned in the sale. So yeah,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 10: people are going to say, how are you going to
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 10: pay for this? Aaron, Well, we've got an industry that's
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 10: willing to participate. And I'll tell you I've I've talked
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 10: to local people here at Carbell Banker. You know, we're
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 10: a big company. It has to go up to the flagpole.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 10: But I talked to Scott Nelson, who's a dear friend
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 10: of mine, in a brilliant mind in real estate. He
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 10: loved the idea has to obviously think through the strategics
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 10: of it, and I'm sure Sis Decline haven't talked to
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 10: them yet and a lot of the other agents what
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 10: would have follow So yes, it's something that we as
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 10: an industry I think can easily do. And like I
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 10: said in the beginning of the show, I wanted to
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 10: do something that I could do. I wanted to have
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 10: action plans, and this is what I know clearly.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: And we're not talking about a massive volume of money here.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many police officers do we have collectively
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: It's around nine hundred. We need about twelve hundred or so,
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: So the number of people that would be able to
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: participate in this is not significant in terms of loss
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: of commission. So I I it's sound proposal. I really
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: do believe erin Now. The other thing, yeah, I know,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: it's it makes great sense to me and officers who
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: choose to reside in Since any one final component of
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: that plan a thousand dollars annual residency bonus, I think
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: that seems to be quite doable.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, absolutely, and honestly I want to offer this to
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 10: the police office that are currently starving our city, but
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 10: maybe live out in the suburbs. Let's let's give let's
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 10: let's give it to them too. Let's bring them into
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 10: the city as well. I mean, we want people in
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 10: the city to let let's bring them there too. Maybe
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 10: maybe someone who lives in Green Township. They're empty nesters,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 10: Let's bring them to one of our condos downtown something
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 10: like that. Let's let's let's offer that to them too.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 10: And I definitely want to expand on this. It's a
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 10: pilot program. Let's let's open it up to our fire
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 10: at some point. Let's let's maybe talk about do we
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 10: want this for teachers again, Let's it's bringing leadership into
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 10: the city for for these these long term goals. So
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 10: this is this is where I see this going long term.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 10: But this is my pilot right now.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, now we are losing experienced officers. I am
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: painfully aware of people officers who are in the drop program,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: which I think the last about five years, they're just saying,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: forget about it. I'm done, I can't handle this anymore.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: I'm dropping out a drop and I'm just going to retire,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: or they're leaving for other police forces. Going back to
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: this lateral higher phenomenon, if you're a sin Sat police
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: officers some other jurisdiction would love to have you working
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: for them. So how do we deal with this? You
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: have an officer retention incentive strategy to address this problem.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 10: Correct, correct, So there's several facets to that as well.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 10: And just to give a background, so you only got
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 10: like three pages of three or four pages of this report,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 10: and it's a fifteen page report that we've done research
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 10: on me and my staff and it's working in different
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 10: in different cities like Baltimore and Detroit and Los Angeles
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 10: and there have you. So we're used to hearing the
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 10: people who are getting buyofs to tire early. Well, this
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 10: is a buy in, So this is this is sort
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 10: of paying people to stay longer. Just to give you
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 10: some data. So let's say you're you're getting ready to retire.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 10: Maybe you'll get five thousand dollars if you stay an
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 10: extra year, Maybe you stay three additional years as we
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 10: ramp up on our staffing, up to twelve thousand dollars
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 10: to stay instead of leave. It involves one time retention
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 10: retention dollars. Let's say you're maybe you're working in a
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 10: more stressful location of the city and you're thinking about.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 10: It's a one time incentive, targeted incentives. This is focused
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 10: on retention for officers with the five to fifteen years experience, who,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 10: like you said, might be attracted to go to Blue
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 10: ash or Green Township or Springfield Township where I grew up.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 10: So these are just some of the ways of of
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 10: keeping people rewarding them for staying on and investing in
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 10: our city.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: You know what an interesting concept erin. I know that
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: there are private businesses out in the world who offer
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: bonuses annually for you know, valuable employees. It's a wonderful
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: thing to know that if you have a big bonus potential,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: it kind of keeps you on your toes and gives
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: you an incentive to work a little bit harder. So
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: I have no fault with paying our police officers a
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: little bit more, and I like the idea of keeping
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: them around longer. The experience is so so important. Aaron Winer,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: it's a winerforth Cincinnati dot Com. You know, how's the
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: campaign going. You're running as a charter right and I
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: know you're a great alternative to the status quo we've
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: got on counsel. How you feeling out there as you
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: go from neighborhood to neighborhood and campaigning.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 10: You know, you know, I feel great, and truthfully, this
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 10: has been has been a great experience for me. I'm
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 10: getting a lot of good reception. I'm listening to people,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 10: I'm hearing their concerns. People are saying they hear they see,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 10: they've seen my name, they've heard me on the radio,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 10: they've read about me. And also, I you know, I'm
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 10: immersed in a lot of different communities throughout the city,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 10: and I've been involved in a lot of different things
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 10: through throughout my lifetime, so I feel like my exposure
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 10: is good. I would say in terms of the new candidates,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 10: I'm probably one of the strongest, if not the strongest.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 10: So I feel good.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: Bold statement that's great erin I'm glad you're that it's
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: all working out for you and you an impressive resume,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: and I'll strongly encourage my listeners to check out your
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: website and look what you've been up to for the
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: last twenty five years. Fourth generation in Cincinnati, and you're
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: involved in a lot of different things, including you have
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: a history in connection with the Cincinni Public schools. Apparently
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: your mom a retired special education teacher with since a
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: public schools, so you have connection there, but also on
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: the boards of the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Federation
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. You served on the board of governors for
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: the Human Rights Campaign, on and on and on. A
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: demonstrably strong record and some sound ideas for policing. Aaron,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure speaking with you again, and I
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: hope we get a chance to talk again before the
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: li in November. And a reminder to listeners, early voting
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: is open. Get over to the Board of Elections, cast
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: the vote for the ones that count, not all nine.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: I suggest maybe throwing a vote Aaron Weiner's way. Aaron,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: good talking with the great ideas, and I'll look forward
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: to talking to you again real soon.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 10: Thank you, Thank you for the opportunity my.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Fifty three fifty five kannasy De talk station. Looking forward
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: to the inside scoop after the top of the r
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: new is always looking forward to that Trump in the
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: Middle East peace, that's the subject matter with White House
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: correspondent Nick Gilberts and plus Daniel Davis deep dive. Yes,
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: he will talk about the Middle East and peace question mark.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: A lot of details to iron out, but the world
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: seems to be celebrating and obviously given Donald Trump a
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: bit of a credit for that, But it was a
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: whole series of events that sort of the stars aligne
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: that forced Hamas into a corner, and not a good
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: corner for Hamas. They cite better relations between the United
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: States Turkey gave Trump the leverage among countries with ties
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: to Hamas. Let's point it out, many of the Gulf
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: states a little bit of alarm that the war might
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: endanger the our own security, notably because the Israeli airstrike
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: against the Hamas in Cutter. No one saw that coming.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: Cutters like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's the deal here? We're
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: getting bombed. Hmm, this is a problem. Hamas is in
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: our neighborhood and Israelers are coming after him. Allah Donald
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Trump and his air strikes into countries against whom we
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: have no declaration of war. Interesting develop that development that
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: Hamas was undergrowing pressure at home, no money, not able
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: to keep up the grilla warfare against the Israeli forces
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: which really rolled over at Gaza. And in the aftermath
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: of Hamas entering this deal, you can see that there
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: are factions fighting amongst themselves. People that you thought were
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: all aligned together under the Hamas umbrella really not a
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: bunch of splitter organizations out there, and they're fighting amongst themselves.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Natanyahu had to publicly agree to end the war,
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: and that helped Hamas realize that, oh my god, we're
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: the lone holdout man. We're losing. The world's turning against us.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: By the fact, you may have some pro Hamas protesters
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: in the streets of New York or elsewhere here in
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: the United States, those college educated, woke youngsters aren't enough
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: to change the tide for Hamas. So the stars align,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: you can say it's divine or not. Progress is being made,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: and that is a beautiful thing to behold. I'm looking
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: forward to what Daniel Davis has by way of analysis
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: on that at the bottom of the next hour. Of course,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking about that with Nick Gilbertson as well.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: Seven fifty five right now fifty five K Steve Talks Station.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: And I apologize I mentioned when I started out the program,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: and I also commented on the six o'clock hour, got
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: this dizzy reality going on. I don't know what it is.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: It's like vertigo, you know what think I'm glad I
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: set it out round positional vertigo. My friend John just
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: said he's got that, and there's a maneuver you can
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: do called the Epply maneuver to get rid of it.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: But it's like you're dizzy for some reason. I don't
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: have allergies. I'm not having any problems with my health
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: or anything, but I'm just feeling that way. I think
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head. For whoever called
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: first and said maybe it's positional vertigo, I think that's it.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the Apple maneuver when I get off
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: the program. Hopefully I'll solve this problem. I don't want
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: to deal with it much more again, or at least
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: I have a way out of it, but learn something
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: every day and I'm included on that. So Inside Scoop
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: coming up next. I hope you can stick around today.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 12: It's tough headlines coming on.

• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: correspondent Nick Gilbertson's writing about. Welcome back, Nick Gilbert soon
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: writing on Trump in the Middle East. Piece you ever
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: thought you'd see today. You got two dozen world leaders,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: big ones too, Egyptian President, the amer Cutter, you got
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: the Turkish president. They're all standing there signing documents to
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: put an end to this ridiculous war between Israel and Gaza.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: It's an amazing accomplishment. Nick, Welcome back. It's good to
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: hear from me this morning.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 4: Hey Brian, it's great to be here. And certainly, yeah,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 4: I know it's I think this is Trump's crowning achievement
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 4: thus far in his term. And you know, it's pretty amazing.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 4: I think some thirty countries were there, yes, from all
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: over the world, so just really remarkable, remarkable stuff and what.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: To show you to be And there's a lot of
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: details that need to be ironed out. I know one
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: of the remains of the deceased hostages, which is sad
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: in and of itself that we were talking about. You know,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: they didn't even keep the hostages alive. A lot of
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: them died, so we've got that really black mark on
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: the whole process. But finding the remains of the balance
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: of them. Hamas claims that it doesn doesn't even know
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: where they are. There's so many different I suppose factions
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: of Hamas out in the world. They're fighting amongst themselves now.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: But are these like splitter groups within the Hamas umbrella
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: that are keeping these the dead hostages.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think at this point there's been so all
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 4: twenty of the living hostages were you know, returned right
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 4: day and reunited. But I know they were saying that
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 4: there were twenty eight they believed the presidents of last
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 4: week that were still or that were deceased tragically horrifically,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: and I know they returned. For of the deceased, I
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 4: don't think they've been identified yet those remained, so by deduction,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 4: there there's twenty four bodies that need to be you know,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 4: relocated and recovered and brought home and returned to their
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 4: loved ones.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: Do we know right now? One of the original terms
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: of the twenty point plan that Donald Trump rolled out
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: was Hamas must disarm. A question have they agreed to
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: do that? And second question is sort of a follow
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: up to the where are the dead hostages? If AMAS
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't even know within its multiple splitter organizations where the
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: dead hostages are, can it really agree on behalf of
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: you know, like the I don't know campaign for Free
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: Galilee subset of Hamas. Can they guarantee that all of
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: these different entities would disarm?
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 4: That's a that's a great question, Brian. I know the
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 4: President said yesterday and these other countries that were kind
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: of intra are key here in bringing.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 9: This deal about.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 11: And I know, uh, you know, like Egypt.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 4: Turkey, Qatar, all those other countries. President Trump, when when
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 4: he was talking about supporting Gaza yesterday, he put a
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 4: major emphasis on militarization of Gaz, you know, of of
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 4: of the police or rather of Gozzin's and he was
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 4: talking about a police force that would kind of, you know,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 4: be be separate and kind of you know, keep order
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 4: in Gaza, but a heavy emphasis on demilitarization. And I
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 4: think the term you used was an honest civilian police
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 4: force to create, you know, a safe condition for the
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 4: people in Gaza. So I know that's where we put
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 4: a heavy emphasis on. So again, we'll see and this
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 4: is all very you know, as this piece still, I
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 4: think they're on step six or seven somewhere in yeah,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 4: or seven or eight. So yeah, this as this goes on,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, so far, so good, right, But you know,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 4: we'll see how things continue to work out.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Well, Nick, And I hate to be honest with you.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: I I want to be very optimistic, but I'm old
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: enough to remember. You know, everyone in every presidential administration
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: since I've been born has been trying to negotiate peace
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East. It doesn't often and hardly ever,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: if ever works out. I know with the Abraham Korns,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump made some really great inroads in getting folks
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: to play nicely together for their own economic benefit. I mean,
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: who can argue with that.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 12: Ye.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, if we quit fighting and spending all of our
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: money on guns and military, we might have booming economies.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: There's an idea. But how do you feel about this
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: going forward? The devil's always in the details, as I've
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: said too many times, But you got six of the
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: steps toward twenty being accomplished, and there's some large stumbling blocks,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: notably disarmament. And then how much of the of the
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: gods of territories is Israel going to control if any
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: and who's going to govern lord knows they need better
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: government than Hamas. So what about those items?
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 4: Nick, Yeah, absolutely, I think I think one thing that
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 4: is good that you know, they have going for them here.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 4: Everybody in the steel has going for them as the
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 4: presence of President Trump. And I think, you know, Secretary
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 4: of State Marco Rubio down to Special Envoy Steve Witcoff, right,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 4: And I think as they go along through this, if
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 4: there are any hiccups, I think, you know, these are
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 4: very competent people, and I think they've shown that they can,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 4: you know, bring different people to the table kind of
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 4: work things out between them, whether it be the character,
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 4: the stick right, And I think that that's a that's
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 4: a that's a critical thing here, and that's something we
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 4: certainly didn't see in the last administration. That couldn't even
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 4: you know, get the ball rolling any anywhere close to
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 4: a potential piece deal here. And uh so I think,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah, we'll we'll see how it all shakes
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 4: out again. Everything's you know, very tensitive here, but I
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 4: think so far.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 4: And uh, I think that was such a strong showing
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 4: yesterday too in the region to have all those different
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 4: leaders kind of kind of come together, you know, I
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 4: think it's I think it's a very promising sign and
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 4: a positive one. So that's that's that's what I can
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: share that well.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: And I suppose that there was a lot of maybe
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: i'll use the word pressure, whether or not was pressure
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: or not to get all of those world leaders to
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: appear this sort of as a massive showing of force
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: against Hamas. The rest of the world is on one
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: side of the argument, you're on the other. I mean,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: you're in a losing position Hamas. I think that was
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: on full display yesterday.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 4: Absolutely you had countries represented from from every single continent.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 4: I think even the President of Paraguay was there yesterday.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 7: From the all.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 4: Important but I think that just goes to show what
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 4: a what a broad coalition of countries were present yesterday.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 4: And then you know, you had all these not just Trump, right,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 4: but you had Western leaders from uh, you know, I
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 4: think Native Secretary General Secretary Mark Mark Rudy. You had
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 4: Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney, uh uh, Keir Starmer, the
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 4: British Prime Minister Emmanuel McCrone from France, Mark Carney from Canada.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 4: So really, you know, you have the Western world involved.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 4: You had all these countries from Asia as well.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: I believe you.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 4: Had a Japan over there, and then even countries that
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 4: Trump has already broken peace deals with, right so our
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 4: media Azerbaijan, they were there together. Trump just ended, you know,
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 4: I believe a thirty plus a or something war between
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 4: those two countries a few months ago, one of you know,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 4: seven deals he's made that have held up between countries,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 4: but leading up to this right between you know, bringing
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 4: him as to the table and getting them to accept
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 4: this deal.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: So you know, he's got eight so far.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 4: Under his belt since returning to office in January, kind
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 4: of averaging one a month here, and I think, you know,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 4: this is a granddaddy of them all so far.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: It is truly remarkable, Nick, As you run through that,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: it's just absolutely amazing in such a short period of time.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I can be a critic of Donald Trump
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: from time to time, and everybody is worthy of some
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: measure of criticism. No one walks on water. But I mean,
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: just since January of this year, how much he's been
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: able to accomplish. I mean, I don't know. I just
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: I'm amazed at what this, what Donald Trump has been
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: able to do. And the other component of this, which
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: is allowed for this peace process to move forward, Egypt
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: finally opened its border up so we can have the
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: flow of humanity going back and forth into the region.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: That that was a huge hurdle.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I think that that goes to show too
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 4: how President Trump's relationship with SISI over there is just
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 4: very different from how Obama and Biden kind of alienated
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 4: Egypt does an ally. And so you know, again, I
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 4: think it goes to show Trump Trump being the ultimate
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: deal maker and pragmatists. He works with what he has, right,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 4: what do you give him? And you know, he's very
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 4: good at understanding what's going to motivate people and what won't.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 4: And I we've literally seen this from him for the
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 4: past what fifty years, going back to his part his
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 4: private sector days, you know, when he was kind of
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 4: repainting the skyline there in New York City. So for me, it's, uh,
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 4: it's it's truly remarkable stuff. And uh yeah, it's it's
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 4: it's quite something.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what I think to go.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and I think too, you know, I just
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 4: people forget to Like two months ago he just like
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 4: brokeer this amazing or rather historic trade deal between the
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 4: European Union and in the United States. I think, uh,
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 4: you know, just just whether it be deadlines. He hit
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 4: himas with this this pretty pretty uh serious statement on
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 4: October thirties, like he said, look, this is the last
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 4: chance for a master agree or quote all hell like
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 4: no one has ever seen will break out against them, right,
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 4: and you know, within a couple hours you get them
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 4: agreeing to come to the table. And and we've seen
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 4: just Trump use the deadline over and over and over again,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 4: whether it be with tariffs, whether it be with his
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 4: legislative agenda, one big beautiful bill. He's very good at
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 4: this and bringing different sides together and getting them to
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 4: agree to that.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: Well, Nick, because he follows through, unlike Barack Obama, who
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: drew red lines left and right, never did bother do
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: anything after someone crossed the red lines, almost in open
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: defiance of Barack Obama, and to a certain degree, to
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: the extent Joe Biden did anything. No one paid any
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: attention to what he was doing. I mean, if you
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: don't listen to Trump, he tells you exactly what he's
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: gonna do and then pull then delivers on it. So yeah,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: I think that all hell's going to break. Luke's comment
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: in the wake of an aftermath of him bombing the
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: hell out of Iran with those bunker busters, with Israel
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: bombing Cutter, with whom they have no adversarial relationship. If
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: you got Hamas in your house, We're going to come
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: after your house. I mean, these are all realities that
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: everybody was facing. So yes, a strong president who delivers
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: on his red lines needs to be taken seriously. Let
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: me ask you this along those lines, Nick, what does
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: Iran make of this? If you can, yes, and I
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: want to put you on the spot. But Iran's got
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: to be I think a little bit uh concerned about
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: these developments.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know this isn't good for Iran.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 4: Yesterday and they're dealing with these massive sanctions. You know,
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 4: Trump just kind of set there or you know, made
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 4: their neutralized their nuclear program a few months ago with
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 4: those strikes on Foord and a tons Esbaham like you
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 4: were like you were saying, and that you know, sends
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 4: a message to everybody else too, that's the side thing.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think, uh, you know this that you
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 4: have all these countries in the region and you know,
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 4: kind of pushing towards a stabilized region, pushing towards peace.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 4: And you know when we see this, this happened with
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 4: Hamas yesterday. I mean if if I think that goes
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 4: to show that, you know, Hamas is a cell essentially
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 4: right of Iran. They get funding from there, they traditionally did,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 4: so I think that goes to show, you know, the
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 4: weakness of Iran. Know, the President Trump said yesterday he
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 4: thinks Iran what wants to make a deal, wants to
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 4: come along and make a deal eventually. So he was
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 4: kind of said, look, uh, you know, I I hope
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 4: to talk to them and eventually right when they want
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 4: to come to the table. And he said he wants
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 4: to take the sanctions off and he wants to see
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 4: Iran prosper, also noting too, like they can't survive with
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 4: with these massive sanctions they're facing. So basically seriously, you know,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 4: using using the stick, they're pretty heavy also offering the
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 4: carrot in terms of, you know, wanting to bring them
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 4: middle wanting to bring them into you know, uh uh, you.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: Know, a peaceful coalition.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 9: Exactly, exactly.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 4: You've got the words for me. But President Trump said
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 4: yesterday too, I think, you know, the Middle East incredible destiny,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 4: and he said is a safe and prosperous, beautiful crossroad
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 4: of culture and commerce, faith in humanity, and a geographic center.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 4: He also said it could be the geographic center of
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 4: the world. So I think that goes to show his vision.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: And that's that's also you know, I ran could go
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 4: down that path. I think if if they made an
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 4: honest and earnest effort and showed President Trump that they
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 4: wanted to, then again, if they don't want to, you know,
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 4: you can see President trumpell. You know, we'll do what
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 4: he feels he needs to do.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: Right clearly well, and you know, honestly, if you step
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: back from whatever is driving and motivating them, and I would,
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: I would say, it's obviously it's hatred toward Israel, it's
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: religious fundamentalism. There is the core of their problems. If
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: they just walked away from that ideology and said all right,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: we're going to be Muslims. We're going to be Islamic,
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: We're going to be you know, enjoy our own faith.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: But you know what, it's not worth fighting with our
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: next door neighbor. It's costing us. It's our economy's ruin.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: We have nothing to show for all this war for
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: decades and decades, if not centuries. If we just put
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: down our war weapons machine and just start talking about
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: commerce in industry, we're going to have a healthy, prosperous
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: country and we can just abide our own religion, within
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: our own within the four corners of our own country.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: Problem solved.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's that's literally the easiest route for
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 4: them to take, right Like, you know, but obviously, you know,
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 4: there's there's all sorts of years of fundamentalism that have
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 4: taken place, all sorts of youths that were raised under
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 4: this too. So again, you know, it's it's it's you know,
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 4: it's kind of hard to read the tea leaves, but
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 4: it's it looks peace looks promising right now, especially after yesterday,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 4: especially that show of unity. You know, you have again
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 4: from around the globe, every single continent essentially represent maybe
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 4: not Australia, right, But uh yeah, I think it shows
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 4: a show of unity and the show where everybody wants
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 4: this to go and everybody's kind of on the same
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 4: page here. And I think the key is those other
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 4: Arab countries in the region that are you know, brought
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 4: into this prosperous coalition already as you said, and you know,
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 4: want to uphold that and even broad in it, expand it.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 4: And look, I think if you can bring peace to
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 4: the region too, Like, imagine what this does for a
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 4: potential trade route maybe right again, or what could mean
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 4: for that. I know much was made in the first
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 4: term about a potential iMac corridor, right, and that run
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 4: from India through the Middle East, through Europe and the
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 4: United States. So you know, peace in the Middle East
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 4: would be massive for that. And I'm sure China's a
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 4: little worried about about what happened yesterday too, So pretty
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 4: interesting stuff.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, doors wide open for peace. Everyone prospers with peace,
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: read about it every single day. White House correspondent Nick

  Speaker 1: Tuesdays on the fifty five krsee morning show. Welcome back,
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis Deep Dive boy, and we've
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today. Good to see
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: you again. I get to see it good here. It's
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: a pleasure. Well, the whole world was on full display yesterday.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: I had representatives from I think every country or every
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: continent rather except Australia showing up for the Well the
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: initial signing of what looks like, dare I even say
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: the words out loud, peace in the Middle East, at
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: least between Israel and Hamas. What an amazing development. Your
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: reaction on this. The stars clearly aligned for a variety
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: of different reasons which allowed this to come together. But
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: I think the idea that you've got what I will
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: characterize as the world the leaders from the world on
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: one side, and you've got Hamas obviously isolated from a
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: global perception they were backed into a corner.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 13: Well, they were in your right that there were many,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 13: many reasons why this came together. I would say at
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 13: the outset that I would not go as far as
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 13: to say peace. I would say that the end of
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 13: the hostilities have happened, and there is a shot at peace.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 13: But even within the terms that are set out here,
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 13: there is a two phased operation. Phase one was basically
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 13: a ceasefire and a return of the hostages from both sides,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 13: which has taken place.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 17: But Phase two hasn't even been.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 13: Negotiated yet, and there's still a lot of problems to
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 13: go with that.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 17: So I don't want to get too optimistic, but I am.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 13: Incredibly grateful and happy that this is hostilities has happened,
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 13: because I've always said, you've got to get the killing
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 13: of the innocent people stopped first to even have a
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 13: shot at an enduring peace, and it's going to be
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 13: really hard, but Listen, we got to give props to
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 13: President Trump because he put It's not just that Hamas
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 13: was isolated, they've been oscillated. It's also that President Trump
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 13: was willing to put pressure in both directions on Hamas
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 13: and on the Israeli side. Because this you'd certainly know,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 13: there's many on the Israeli side that did not want
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 13: a cease fire.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 17: They only wanted a military victory.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 13: So everybody had to give a little something to get here,
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 13: and President Trump put the pressure wherever it needed, and
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 13: then he got the support from all those countries across
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 13: the world, like you mentioned, So he gets full props
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 13: for that and our great hope that this.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 17: Does translate into an enduring peace.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and no one is more hesitant to declare peace
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East than me, Sir. I've been down
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: this before, the road before, only to be met with disappointment.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, as I've repeatedly said on the show, here,
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: devil's in the details. One of those devils though, talking
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: about you know, getting the players negotiate getting the border
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: with Egypt open to allow the back and forth flow
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: of humanity and humanitarian relief, and that was a big
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: step as well.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 13: And then in fact this I think that they're getting
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 13: nearly all the old fences and all the entrances opened
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 13: up so that you can get up to four hundred
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 13: trucks per day for now ramping up to six hundred.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 17: That's to plan.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 13: Anyway, we'll see if that happens, but that is a
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 13: massive increase over what it has been. And also there
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 13: were only four feeding spots for the entire Gosze strip.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 13: Almost all of the three of the four were in
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 13: the far south. Now then they're going to spread that
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 13: back out. See I guess the initial withdrawal line, the
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 13: so called yellow line perhaps you heard about that was
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 13: that will still leave Israel and control of about fifty
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 13: eight percent of the strip. So in that remaining forty
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 13: two percent, now more vehicles with food is going in
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 13: to start alleviating and ending the suffering that was going
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 13: on with the food shortages. So that's another good, good
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 13: start on there. But like I say, there's still a
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 13: lot of challenges to face even in the near term.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: Now and you're better, you're obviously more knowledgeable and skilled
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: at understanding what's going on. But within Hamas, they apparently
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: are fighting amongst themselves inside Gaza. What I perceive is
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: something along the lines of the movie The Life of
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: Brian from Monty Python. You get the Judean People's Front,
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: you get the People's Front of Jidea, you got the
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: campaign for Free Galley, and they're all splitter organizations. All
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: of them collectively hate the Romans, and this part case,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: all of them collectively hate the Israelis. But they don't
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: sound like they're as coordinated as I think I was
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: led to believe, or maybe the world was led to
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: believe under one hamas tight umbrella. That's why, at least
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: I understand. This is where you are to correct me
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: when I'm wrong. Why they can't identify or locate some
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: of these dead hostages. They don't quite know where they
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: are because they're being held by various splitter organizations, or
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: am I wrong?
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 13: Well, yeah, I'll address both of those issues. First of all,
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 13: with the issue with the hostage part of the problem.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 13: In fact, the main problem with identifying the deceased hossages
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 13: is that many of them were buried or I guess
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 13: just laid in some of the areas where subsequent Israeli
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 13: airstrikes level the buildings and the whole thing got buried,
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 13: so they don't even know where they are or can't
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 13: reach them, and so that's gonna take a lot of time.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 13: And you've seen all those pictures of the whole Gaza
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 13: strip basically being rubbled, so it's understandable that that's going
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 13: to be incredibly difficult as far as that goes. But
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 13: the second issue there, I think there's some analysis that
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 13: there have been significant firefights between Palestinians and Hamas of late,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 13: because listen, many times I think on your show, I've
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 13: had issue with the Israeli government of well things they do.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 13: They're the ones that are dropping bombs, et cetera.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 17: But man, you can't go much.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 13: Farther without saying that Hamas has been the absolute most
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 13: catastrophic thing to happen to the Palestinian people since this
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 13: thing began, because whatever they thought they were going to
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 13: accomplish on ten seven two twenty twenty three, the end
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 13: result has been mass destruction of the entire place and
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 13: the suffering of the Palestinian people. They're tired of that,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 13: they're tired of the as you said, they're tired of
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 13: the Israeli side who's been putting the bombs, but they're
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 13: as tired and maybe more so on the guys that
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 13: kept this going.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 17: So they want them to get out.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 13: They want them to leave and give them a chance
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 13: to actually have some sort of deal going forward where
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 13: they can have a chance and a hope for a future.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 13: And I think that if Hamas doesn't make good on
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 13: its promises to leave, et cetera, they may find more
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 13: trouble with the Palestinians than with the IDF.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what I'll say, local conflict like within Gaza
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: and among the leadership of the Maas or lack thereof.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: Isn't that sort of the general concept that the Middle
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: East is now sort of embracing, beginning with the Abraham
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: peace of courts. If we all just agree that we're
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: tired of terrorists, we're tired of fighting each other. If
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: we just start trading and playing nice together, regardless of
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: our differences, we're all going to benefit economically. It's going
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: to be a powerhouse area of the world. Just put
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: the damn guns down. So it's kind of a miniature
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: version of the broader challenge in the Middle East, which
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: seems that we are definitely making progress toward resolution these
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: conflicts between the various Arab countries.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 13: Well, listen, the Gulf Corporation Council has been for more
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 13: than a year emphatically saying a lot of those things.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 13: They say, we want to have improved relations with Israel.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 13: Of course President Trump it's his signature thing, so he
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 13: would love the Abraham Accords to expand. Israel has recently
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 13: said that they want ned Yahu specifically, they want normalized
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 13: relations with the rest of the Middle East. So that
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 13: is on the table that all the main parties have
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 13: an interest in doing that, but that's going to require
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 13: some giving, especially on the Israeli side, because, like I said, internally,
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 13: a lot of them want to have a military victory
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 13: here and then they want to get this other stuff.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 13: But if it doesn't it results in the Palestinian people
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 13: having some kind of future and a hope, and whether
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 13: that's a distant possibility for a state of their own
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 13: or some kind of autonomous freedom where they can thrive
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 13: as a people, at least the hope of it. Then
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 13: the rest of the GCC probably is not going to
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 13: be willing to do that. But if they can get there,
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 13: then I think we actually have a broader shot. So
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 13: there is a possibility, there's a path to potential piece,
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 13: but it's going to take a lot, a lot of
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 13: hard work, but it is there.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 17: So that is good news.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: Step in the right direction and connection with the Middle East.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: I'll take any step in the right direction. Daniel Davis,
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: really quickly. You mentioned Hamas. Obviously they've been the disrupting factor.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: They ruled that area, they were the governing force. Who
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: steps in If we assume Hamas is out, what coalition
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: or what group of acceptable people is going to step
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: in to provide the leadership for this region.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 13: Well, that's what's going to have to That's part of
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 13: the fly in the ointment the difficulties because Israelis said
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 13: they have to approve whoever goes in, but the Palestinians say, we.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 17: Want to choose who is.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 13: Going to lead us, not have it given by the
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 13: you know, our enemy that over the last two years,
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 13: et cetera. There is a guy named more Marwan Bukhari
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 13: who is long respected among all the different Palestinian factions
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 13: and they want him, but for some reason, Israel has
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 13: not released him yet, even though they asked him.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 17: In this prisoner exchange that just happened. We'll see how
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 17: that works out.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 13: But the Palestinians minus Hamas, they want to decide that
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 13: on their own, and that's that's one of the next
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 13: near term challenges.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: Certainly I can understand their one two the right to
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: self determination, pivoting over as we must Russia Ukraine. I
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: read this horrific statistic, and you and I have talked
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: about the fog over war. How many people are actually
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: dying and being killed in the Russian Ukraine conflict Politico
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: article Russia bleeds troops form microscopic frontline gains initial sentence
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: Russia lost two hundred and eighty one five hundred and
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: fifty soldiers in Ukraine in the first eight months of
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 13: I'll just tell you to I don't believe that for
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 13: a second.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: And well, I was going to say, even if it's
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: half of that, we lost what fifty four thousand Americans
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: fighting the Vietnam War for more than a decade, fifteen
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: plus years. I mean, if this number is even half
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: of that, the amount of life loss is just amazing.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 17: I don't think it is even half that.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 13: And you've seen the Institute for the Study of War,
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 13: which is big time pro Ukraine, revealed over the last
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 13: couple of months, especially that Russia has significantly changed its
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 13: tactics to where they have focused on firepower to destroy
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 13: the Ukraine armed forces and minimized the exposure to their
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 13: troops and they are.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 17: Succeeding at that.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: And I have.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 13: Recently talked to two separate people in the US military hierarchy,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 13: I'll just say, with access to classified information, and they
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 13: have not revealed the exact information, but they said that
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 13: that is wildly out of proportion, that that's what people
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 13: want people to believe in the West so that they
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 13: keep supporting to think they're succeeding.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 17: But they said it is not true.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 13: Russia is not suffering anywhere near those kind of casualties,
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 13: and you see that on the front because they continue
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 13: to go forward as opposed to the Ukraine side, which
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 13: is suffering those casualties. And that's why it's so hard
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 13: for them to bring all these reserves and even shore
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 13: up the line, and they're making significant losses in the
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 13: Koupiansk and in the other areas of the Donetic Front
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 13: that have really started to pick up speed here of late.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 13: So it's not I think some people want that to
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 13: sound like it's good news for the Ukraine side, but
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 13: it's more bad news as far as I can see,
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 13: and even more reason why we need to get this
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 13: war wrapped up even more.
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: Well, your comments are reflective of exactly why I brought
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: this up, because I read the statistic this morning with
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: a huge measure of skepticism because where do they pull
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 1: these figures from. I don't know, but the volume of
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: casualties just seemed unimaginable. Any chance that peace might break out,
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: given that we've got some steps in the right direction
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: between Israel and Hamas, that it might catch on between
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: Russia and in Ukraine.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 13: Well, Trump wants that and he would love to have it.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 13: The Russians, obviously they would like to have it too,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 13: on their terms. The problem is, and I just gotta
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 13: be honest, the problem is that the Ukraine side and
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 13: the European side don't. They only want peace on their terms,
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 13: and their pressure hard to get that. That's why Zelenski
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 13: will be in town on Friday to talk to President
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 13: Trump to try and really get him to release Tomahawk missiles,
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 13: which Trump said.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 17: He would consider doing.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 13: I hope he doesn't, and I don't think that he
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 13: really is, because that would only exacerbate and raise higher
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 13: the possibility of a clash with Russia, which they said,
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 13: this is different because the Tomahawk missile can contain a
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 13: nuclear warhead where the others can't, so it's a bigger
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 13: red line. I don't want to find out if they
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 13: mean that or not, so I'm all for getting this
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 13: deal wrapped up quickly.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: Amen to that, Daniel Davis. And Plus you also pointed
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: out in our previous conversations, if we give him tomahawks,
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: it's going to require American military personnel to operate them,
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: which means we're in a fighting war with Russia, and
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: nobody wants that. Daniel Davis, deep dive. Always a distinct
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on the fifty five carssee Morning
