0:25
Speaker 2: the part of the show that I've been looking forward
0:27
Speaker 2: to the most. I mean, look, I love having Corey
0:31
Speaker 2: Bowman on Love talking to Tom Zastowski, and I've been
0:35
Speaker 2: waiting for a chance to speak. We've spoken, I guess,
0:40
Speaker 2: on emails, and we've spoken over social media, but this
0:43
Speaker 2: is my first time having a chance to speak over
0:46
Speaker 2: the phone with a Signal ninety nine good friend of
0:49
Speaker 2: the show here on fifty five KRC and Joe Strecker
0:54
Speaker 2: Devo TA to one a podcast now, Joe Strecker and
0:58
Speaker 2: Signal ninety nine, how are you this one?
1:01
Speaker 1: Good morning? I'm good. You know why I'm not out
1:04
Speaker 1: trying to drive on these icy roads.
1:06
Speaker 2: There are recks. There are recks all over the place
1:09
Speaker 2: this morning, so well, I mean, if you're out, look,
1:11
Speaker 2: if you're listening to us, it's no joke. I mean,
1:13
Speaker 2: there are recks all over the place this morning, so
1:16
Speaker 2: you got to be careful out there. A little slap
1:18
Speaker 2: in the face for wintertime this morning and it's it's
1:22
Speaker 2: not nice, not nice out there, but signal ninety go ahead.
1:28
Speaker 1: I had officers blowing me up about you're not driving
1:31
Speaker 1: to the station, are you? Are you calling in? Yeah,
1:34
Speaker 1: I'm calling.
1:34
Speaker 2: In, calling it in, calling it in today. That's all right,
1:37
Speaker 2: is perfectly, perfectly fine by me. I hope you're feeling
1:41
Speaker 2: good this morning. You you were all over the street
1:44
Speaker 2: takeover over the weekend and it it. See, it seems
1:50
Speaker 2: to me that police really responded to this thing. And
1:54
Speaker 2: we had Ken Kober on yesterday talking about this, but
1:57
Speaker 2: it seems to me that the police responded to this
2:01
Speaker 2: really and about the most effective way they possibly could have.
2:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they had great intelligence, Dan, They knew it
2:10
Speaker 1: was coming. It started up north osp pursued several cars
2:19
Speaker 1: that ran, and they thought they were They thought they
2:22
Speaker 1: were cool. They thought, nah, you know, nobody's going to
2:24
Speaker 1: stop us. And they went to Green Township they got
2:29
Speaker 1: caught on flock there. I know that I believe Mason
2:36
Speaker 1: pursued a couple of cars. I had that correctly, And
2:40
Speaker 1: so when they came into the city, the city was
2:44
Speaker 1: ready for him. And let me tell you what, call
2:48
Speaker 1: me it totally impressed because they trapped them. They trapped
2:54
Speaker 1: him in the high school parking lot. They tricked them. Yeah,
3:00
Speaker 1: these idiots tried to go over stop sticks, curbs, I mean,
3:03
Speaker 1: they mess They tore their own cars up trying to
3:05
Speaker 1: get away and it just did not work. So and
3:10
Speaker 1: and I have to give I have to give some
3:12
Speaker 1: praise to uh, the Sheriff's office. They absolutely brought extra
3:18
Speaker 1: people in the intake to make sure everybody got processed
3:22
Speaker 1: in the city had to recall guys into the toe
3:28
Speaker 1: impound lot because they were just overflowing with cars coming in.
3:33
Speaker 1: So my hope is that the word gets out to
3:36
Speaker 1: everybody that, uh, you know, we're not playing anymore. We're
3:40
Speaker 1: not going to tolerate this. It's done now. Most of
3:43
Speaker 1: these people were from out of town, not not a
3:47
Speaker 1: whole ton of locals, but they lessons are hard, Dan,
3:53
Speaker 1: So they learned one.
3:56
Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard me talking to Corey
3:57
Speaker 2: Bumman in the in the previous in the previous about
4:00
Speaker 2: an hour or so ago. And I was given credit
4:03
Speaker 2: to Mark Jefferies because he announced yesterday that he's got
4:07
Speaker 2: a emotion out there to effectively end the street takeovers
4:12
Speaker 2: on Cincinnati streets, which I'll give credit where credit is due.
4:16
Speaker 2: It looks like he's taken this seriously. But what I
4:18
Speaker 2: was surprised about was that there was actually a social
4:21
Speaker 2: media posting on this about this. I'm looking at it
4:24
Speaker 2: right here, Ohio takeover right out, oh Columbus to Cincinnati,
4:28
Speaker 2: the takeover right out, and it has the date on
4:30
Speaker 2: here three fourteen, twenty six, eight pm and they ride
4:34
Speaker 2: out at eight forty five and head on down to Cincinnati.
4:37
Speaker 2: How did this get to the point to where these
4:40
Speaker 2: people feel comfortable of putting this on social media that
4:43
Speaker 2: we're going to ride down to Cincinnati and take over
4:46
Speaker 2: the streets of Cincinnati.
4:48
Speaker 1: Well, they've always done that. I've posted many times where
4:53
Speaker 1: takeovers were being planned. They have an event, they have
4:57
Speaker 1: an event scheduler.
4:58
Speaker 2: So it's fantastic. That's why that's why I love ninety nine,
5:04
Speaker 2: because I had no idea that things like this were
5:07
Speaker 2: going on.
5:09
Speaker 1: Well, you say, how did this happened? I'll tell you.
5:11
Speaker 1: When you have a mayor and a city manager and
5:16
Speaker 1: an Irish Rowlie telling your police chief we're we're not
5:20
Speaker 1: going to enforce this type of stuff. We're not going
5:23
Speaker 1: to no pursuit, We're not going to enforce it. It's
5:28
Speaker 1: not a priority. Let me tell you what it is
5:30
Speaker 1: a priority. It is dangerous and when the work gets out, Hey,
5:37
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's cool, They're not going to do nothing. And so
5:41
Speaker 1: many officers have tried to shut those down and they've
5:46
Speaker 1: been denied that glory. So I was very very pleased
5:50
Speaker 1: that they they them and several other agencies I know
5:55
Speaker 1: Norwood was involved. Several agencies responded to the street takeover
5:59
Speaker 1: because we've all had enough. It's dangerous.
6:04
Speaker 2: Well, and again, props the Cincinnati Police for for handling
6:07
Speaker 2: this probably in the best way possible. I think that, Uh,
6:11
Speaker 2: it just shows and it really shows just just how
6:13
Speaker 2: good Cincinnati Police are when it comes to, uh to
6:17
Speaker 2: dealing with these issues. Now, we need the you know,
6:19
Speaker 2: the other part of the legal system to do their
6:21
Speaker 2: part and make these people face real and serious consequences
6:25
Speaker 2: for being part of that.
6:26
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and you know what else we need. We need
6:29
Speaker 1: to revise the O r C like Kentucky and so
6:33
Speaker 1: many other states have that says when we touch these
6:36
Speaker 1: cars and takeovers and drag racing and all of that,
6:41
Speaker 1: that we can that we can take the cars, we
6:43
Speaker 1: can sell, the cars, we can crush the cars. Lou though, Uh,
6:47
Speaker 1: crush the cars all the time from street takeovers. The
6:50
Speaker 1: crush them. Yeah, they yeah, seems like waste a lot
6:56
Speaker 1: of well some of them the VEN numbers don't match.
6:59
Speaker 1: There's or there's no VIN number. But you know a
7:04
Speaker 1: lot of states take them and then they auction them.
7:07
Speaker 1: The perpetrators don't get them back. So that's an expensive
7:12
Speaker 1: hobby when you have a state law that allows you
7:16
Speaker 1: to do things like that. So hopefully we're going to
7:20
Speaker 1: move in that direction.
7:22
Speaker 2: So tell me what you made of the news conference yesterday,
7:26
Speaker 2: As short as it may have been. We had the
7:29
Speaker 2: police chief Teresa Thiji, who, if I'm not mistaken, she
7:33
Speaker 2: really didn't say anything. And it was all Steven M
7:36
Speaker 2: who characterized the city investigation into the police chief as
7:42
Speaker 2: a hatchet jump and I'm guessing he's not far off
7:46
Speaker 2: the mark there.
7:48
Speaker 1: No, it was a witch hunt from Jump. So everybody
7:52
Speaker 1: with an IQ over seventy knew that. So they have
7:57
Speaker 1: to keep extending it because they don't really have anything.
8:00
Speaker 1: So speculation and conjecture here they're gonna they're going to
8:05
Speaker 1: create something. And good luck to them with that because
8:10
Speaker 1: Steven M and the Sydney law firm. They don't. They
8:14
Speaker 1: do not bluff. That's why Steven M has been my
8:17
Speaker 1: attorney since twenty twenty two. They don't bluff and you
8:21
Speaker 1: don't want to play chicken with them because you will lose.
8:24
Speaker 1: This Thursday, the city is going to get their backsides
8:28
Speaker 1: handed to them again in federal court against Steven M
8:32
Speaker 1: and Michael Washington. So their final appeal is this week.
8:37
Speaker 1: I'll be posting the audio link to that to that hearing,
8:42
Speaker 1: and that's going to be glorious. I'm wishing them the
8:46
Speaker 1: very best. And you know what, it's going to set
8:48
Speaker 1: a precedent, Dan, you can't just wrongfully terminate people just
8:53
Speaker 1: because you know the mayor or Cheryl Long get a
8:58
Speaker 1: wild hair to do so. So you know, Chief Fiji
9:04
Speaker 1: thirty five years, impeccable career, not a blemish in her
9:07
Speaker 1: personnel file, not a single write up. Also, not a
9:10
Speaker 1: single evaluation as chief. Same thing with Mike Washington, nothing
9:16
Speaker 1: in his file, no blemishes in his file, not a
9:19
Speaker 1: single evaluation as his tenure as chief. So they don't
9:23
Speaker 1: properly document anything as to why they're moving towards a termination.
9:31
Speaker 1: Same thing with Anita Pettis. I mean Cheryl Long is
9:37
Speaker 1: impulsive and reckless in my opinion, and the city solicitor.
9:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what their issue is or the head
9:46
Speaker 1: of HR, but they probably all need to go back
9:48
Speaker 1: to school, would be my thought.
9:50
Speaker 2: Uh, Signal ninety nine, if you can hang around for
9:53
Speaker 2: another segment, I want you to stay right there because
9:55
Speaker 2: I've got some more questions for you on the other side.
9:58
Speaker 2: So the signal ninety nine, if if you would please
10:00
Speaker 2: stay right there, We'll get to a quick break and
10:02
Speaker 2: continue on here on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
10:06
Speaker 2: If i've KRZ the talk station, fifty five KRC. Happy
10:13
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas for having
10:16
Speaker 2: a nice conversation this morning with our friends Signal ninety nine,
10:21
Speaker 2: who is staying warm and not dealing with the nasty
10:26
Speaker 2: weather that we have out there. As it relates to
10:29
Speaker 2: Mike Washington, he was fired abruptly terminated in twenty twenty three,
10:34
Speaker 2: so this is now twenty twenty six, so we're going
10:36
Speaker 2: on three years with this case, and then we've got
10:39
Speaker 2: a hearing coming up on Thursday. I don't know that
10:42
Speaker 2: that will be the end of it, but it looks
10:44
Speaker 2: like it could pave the way for the end of
10:46
Speaker 2: that case to come. Do you have a sense that
10:48
Speaker 2: they want to do the same thing with Teresa Thiji,
10:53
Speaker 2: have this drag out another I mean, the city manager
10:55
Speaker 2: will be gone by then. As I don't know if
10:57
Speaker 2: you were listening to Chris Smithaman yesterday, but his thought
11:01
Speaker 2: was that this is the beginning of the exit strategy
11:04
Speaker 2: for the for the city manager who's looking to get
11:07
Speaker 2: out and get onto her next gig.
11:11
Speaker 1: Well, and she really needs to be somebody else's problem.
11:15
Speaker 1: That that may be why she got such a stellar review,
11:19
Speaker 1: which was laughable to say the very least. Her her
11:24
Speaker 1: evaluation was written by all fairy cell things. But maybe
11:31
Speaker 1: that's the window. You know, firing a city manager is difficult,
11:36
Speaker 1: so you know, maybe in my perfect world, this paves
11:40
Speaker 1: the way for her to brand herself to some other city,
11:44
Speaker 1: maybe in California or something. I don't know, but far
11:47
Speaker 1: away from us. And wherever she goes Dan, I'll troll
11:51
Speaker 1: her there too, I don't care. You know, she's she's
11:56
Speaker 1: you know.
11:57
Speaker 2: You're taking any of those personally, are you?
12:01
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I kind of am. You know, she blamed
12:04
Speaker 1: me for all of these threats against her and death threats,
12:09
Speaker 1: which I'm sorry, I don't believe she had actual death threats.
12:13
Speaker 1: I get death threats all the time. I don't have
12:15
Speaker 1: I'm not screaming for protection. I mean, come on, you know. So, yeah,
12:22
Speaker 1: it's a little personal. And what she's done to Teresa
12:25
Speaker 1: cig and what she's done to Michael Washington, both chiefs
12:32
Speaker 1: of the CPD and the CFT both settled in steep tradition.
12:37
Speaker 1: I mean, you're aware that the Cincinnati Fire Department is
12:41
Speaker 1: the first professional fire department in the country and the CPD. Yeah,
12:46
Speaker 1: the CPD is the second professional police department in the country.
12:53
Speaker 1: And we've worked completely well, very well. We've performed extremely
13:00
Speaker 1: well for oh, I don't know, over one hundred years.
13:04
Speaker 1: But you know, she has to come in and try
13:08
Speaker 1: to fire the chiefs of both agencies over her ineptness,
13:12
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
13:14
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have said before that you look at Mike Washington,
13:18
Speaker 2: who did not want to play along with the ideas
13:23
Speaker 2: of political correctness or diversity equity in inclusion. He wanted
13:28
Speaker 2: to deal with the realities of what was going on
13:31
Speaker 2: in the Fire department that did not sit well with
13:34
Speaker 2: the city manager. And then in the other case, of
13:37
Speaker 2: the police chief. She tried to, in my opinion, tried
13:42
Speaker 2: to accommodate these notions of the city manager and what
13:46
Speaker 2: was important to her and what was important to the
13:48
Speaker 2: city leadership while maintaining a viable police force. And so
13:54
Speaker 2: you've got sort of two people, two chiefs, on the
13:57
Speaker 2: opposite end of the spectrum when it came to dealing
14:00
Speaker 2: with the city manager. But both of them sort of
14:02
Speaker 2: wind up in the same place, dismissed, and now the
14:07
Speaker 2: likelihood the specter of both of them having multimillion dollar
14:11
Speaker 2: lawsuits against the City of Cincinnati. So I look at that,
14:15
Speaker 2: and that says to me that when it comes to
14:19
Speaker 2: dealing with someone who has an ideology like this and
14:23
Speaker 2: wants to pursue these sorts of goals, when it comes
14:27
Speaker 2: to you know, DEI and political correctness, you just can't win.
14:31
Speaker 2: You can no matter how you try to pick whatever
14:35
Speaker 2: vector you're going to come at this from.
14:39
Speaker 1: Well, Chief Washington told her, we have diversity. We've got women,
14:44
Speaker 1: we've got people of color, we've got people within the
14:46
Speaker 1: LGBTQ spectrum. We have all of that already. But we're
14:52
Speaker 1: not going to take an unqualified candidate and jump them
14:56
Speaker 1: over a more qualified candidate under DEI and call it,
15:01
Speaker 1: you know fair, We're not going to do that. They're
15:04
Speaker 1: going to earn their rank. And she did not like that.
15:08
Speaker 1: With Teresa Fiji, Chief Fiji. The problem was, you know,
15:13
Speaker 1: the chief worked on House Bill sixty sixty seven with
15:18
Speaker 1: Cindy Abrams, getting that going, which is phenomenal. And then
15:25
Speaker 1: you know she incorporated a lot of new technology, of
15:28
Speaker 1: course's chief. But her crucial mistake, her error, which wasn't
15:34
Speaker 1: a mistake at all, was going to a chief meeting
15:36
Speaker 1: for the county which they have every month and saying, hey,
15:39
Speaker 1: can we all work together? Can we help? Can we
15:42
Speaker 1: can we you know, get this crime knocked down? Can
15:45
Speaker 1: we get the judges on board to do their jobs?
15:49
Speaker 1: And they literally muzzled her for that and made a
15:55
Speaker 1: public statement that she wasn't you know, allowed to make
15:59
Speaker 1: statements or do things like that without permission from the
16:03
Speaker 1: city Manager's office. I mean, are you kidding me? She's
16:06
Speaker 1: the chief of police of the Cincinnati Police Department. She
16:11
Speaker 1: was well within her right to do that. And Dan,
16:13
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, back in August, the mayor was
16:18
Speaker 1: absolutely praising her, praising her all the time. He praised
16:22
Speaker 1: her in July, praised her in August, he praised her
16:25
Speaker 1: in September. And I said several times in several different posts,
16:31
Speaker 1: Chief Fiji, they're going to sacrifice you. They're worried about
16:37
Speaker 1: this election. They're going to sacrifice you. You know, come
16:41
Speaker 1: out now and get on the record about what's going on,
16:45
Speaker 1: because they're going to use you and dismiss you to further,
16:52
Speaker 1: you know, their chances of reelection. And that's exactly what
16:55
Speaker 1: they did. She never did anything wrong. She did what
16:59
Speaker 1: she was supposed to do, you according to them, and
17:03
Speaker 1: they praised her for it, and then you know, and
17:06
Speaker 1: then they sacrificed her. So now they're going to Now
17:09
Speaker 1: they're going to pay the price, and we're going to
17:11
Speaker 1: pay the price.
17:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it, go ahead, No, I was just
17:18
Speaker 2: going to say it. I mean, I'm listening to you
17:20
Speaker 2: talk about this. And I remember a time and not
17:24
Speaker 2: that long ago, when Cincinnati had a reputation around the
17:29
Speaker 2: state and around the country as literally having the best
17:33
Speaker 2: run professional police force in the entire country. And there
17:38
Speaker 2: are people who legitimately thought that and pointed to the
17:41
Speaker 2: excellence that that was exhibited here on a regular basis,
17:46
Speaker 2: and it just seems that we are so far away
17:49
Speaker 2: from that now. And uh and I just wonder, I
17:52
Speaker 2: just wonder what kind of perception other police and law
17:56
Speaker 2: enforcement officials have of the Cincinnati Police departm now that
18:01
Speaker 2: they see that we've got all this politics entwined with
18:05
Speaker 2: with what's happening.
18:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's sad and unfortunate, and it's happening
18:12
Speaker 1: all over the country. You know, you're having these far
18:15
Speaker 1: left liberal ideologies rooted in you know, the elections office
18:21
Speaker 1: and the auditor's office and the mayor and the city manager,
18:25
Speaker 1: and it just goes on and on and on. They
18:27
Speaker 1: you know, the key, the cornerstone last two years ago
18:33
Speaker 1: was getting a liberal in the prosecutor's office. That's that
18:39
Speaker 1: was the key, That was the last domino standing, was
18:44
Speaker 1: to get a liberal into the prosecutor's office. Because now
18:47
Speaker 1: they've got the courts, they've got the city, they've got
18:51
Speaker 1: the prosecutor's office, they've got the sheriff's office. It's a lot.
18:55
Speaker 1: It's a lot. So unless the voters wait up and
19:01
Speaker 1: start doing their due diligence by actually voting, nothing's going
19:06
Speaker 1: to change because they're doing exactly what they campaigned they
19:09
Speaker 1: were going to do all right.
19:12
Speaker 2: All right, signal ninety nine, You've got time to hang
19:14
Speaker 2: around for one more quick segment. Absolutely, okay, stay right there,
19:18
Speaker 2: we'll get a quick break in here and get back
19:20
Speaker 2: with signal ninety nine here on fifty five KRCV Talk Station.
19:28
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRCV talk station. Dan carrollin for Brian Thomas
19:34
Speaker 2: and spending some time today with signal ninety nine on
19:38
Speaker 2: the phone and signal ninety nine. It's great to talk
19:41
Speaker 2: to you in person. Let me ask you about this.
19:44
Speaker 2: Our friend Todd Zenzer has been looking into what he
19:47
Speaker 2: calls receipts recipients of leverage support as it relates to
19:52
Speaker 2: City Hall and these different moneies that go out to
19:55
Speaker 2: support these different NGOs and certain government functions and things
20:00
Speaker 2: like that. And he writes this, he writes it, and
20:03
Speaker 2: this has been going on. He's been looking at the
20:05
Speaker 2: period of twenty twenty to twenty twenty six, and he
20:09
Speaker 2: writes this that the first thing you notice is many
20:12
Speaker 2: of these same organizations received funding every year, meaning the
20:15
Speaker 2: process is not a true competition. And more significantly, these
20:20
Speaker 2: organizations are essentially part of the city government. Without the
20:24
Speaker 2: transparency and accountability and so he's got it all deep.
20:29
Speaker 2: I mean, and you know the great work that Todd
20:31
Speaker 2: Zenzer does. Do you have a sense of where this
20:35
Speaker 2: is going and the kind of thing that he is
20:38
Speaker 2: likely to uncover the more he looks into this.
20:41
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about Todd Zender. He is
20:47
Speaker 1: one of the most phenomenal finders of the truth in
20:53
Speaker 1: the numbers I've ever seen. He's almost like a savant.
20:58
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy to watch can work. You could
21:02
Speaker 1: give him a stack of reports and he'll find it.
21:07
Speaker 1: Believe me, he's gonna find it. He's gonna run it down.
21:10
Speaker 1: The problem is they don't care. They know he's a watchdog,
21:17
Speaker 1: they know he's a whistleblower. They simply don't care. I mean,
21:22
Speaker 1: they feel the same way about me though, you know,
21:25
Speaker 1: they think I'm just a fly in the oint. Man,
21:27
Speaker 1: I'm a hindrance. You know, Todd's gonna find it. And
21:33
Speaker 1: I post stuff that Todd does quite frequently because he
21:37
Speaker 1: amazes me. He doesn't hedge at all. There's no exaggeration
21:42
Speaker 1: in the work that he does. He just shows you
21:46
Speaker 1: the truth. Here it is boom and again the problem is,
21:51
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the media outlets don't really
21:53
Speaker 1: cover it. It's not that sensational, I guess, but it is.
21:59
Speaker 1: I mean, all of it, it's all important. I mean,
22:02
Speaker 1: look at three CDC, how much control they have in
22:06
Speaker 1: our city. They're in the pocket of the mayor, or
22:10
Speaker 1: he's in their pocket. I'm not quite sure at this
22:13
Speaker 1: point who controls who. But it's ridiculous to me the
22:20
Speaker 1: contracts that they give and the processes that they do,
22:25
Speaker 1: and they're just completely unchecked.
22:27
Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, I remember I was stunned when he found
22:32
Speaker 2: the timesheets and the documentation for Iris Rolie, and he
22:37
Speaker 2: wrote about and pointed and he didn't write it, he
22:39
Speaker 2: didn't make it up. He pointed out how several of
22:43
Speaker 2: the timesheets that she submitted for the work that she
22:46
Speaker 2: had done to the city manager's office in order to
22:50
Speaker 2: get paid were simply he talked about how they were
22:54
Speaker 2: simply just appeared to be photo copies of previous timesheets
22:59
Speaker 2: with the same misspellings, right, and they yeah, and the
23:04
Speaker 2: same verbatim. You know, went to this meeting, did this
23:08
Speaker 2: you know, did this work at X, Y and Z
23:11
Speaker 2: and And he pointed that out and literally there was
23:14
Speaker 2: no no curiosity, no response, no call for an investigation.
23:19
Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing as it related to Iris Rolie and the
23:23
Speaker 2: the uh you know, the nice contract that she has
23:27
Speaker 2: with the city of incident.
23:30
Speaker 1: Well, she was rewarded with that new contract because she
23:32
Speaker 1: got the mayor reelected, plain and simple. She did the work,
23:36
Speaker 1: she got him reelected, and you know, because of that,
23:41
Speaker 1: she got rewarded with this new contract, which cracked me
23:44
Speaker 1: out because you know, over the summer, when those videos
23:48
Speaker 1: came out, the FOP released them, We released them of
23:52
Speaker 1: her harassing police officers dan Town, actually endangering them and
23:58
Speaker 1: interfering with that. A council member let it slip that
24:05
Speaker 1: she was going to be terminated on Wednesday. Wednesday came around,
24:10
Speaker 1: she wasn't terminated. And then Thursday, share Along tells several
24:18
Speaker 1: heads of different departments and the FOP that Iris will
24:25
Speaker 1: no longer be affiliated with the police department at all,
24:30
Speaker 1: and in capacity that we're not going to terminate her,
24:34
Speaker 1: We're going to use her, you know, for something else.
24:36
Speaker 1: And that's not true. I mean, that whole thing was
24:39
Speaker 1: a lie. So she still has her fingers in the
24:44
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police Department. She still has her fingers and what
24:48
Speaker 1: she will allow the state to do as far as
24:53
Speaker 1: sending us help what OSP is allowed to do and
24:57
Speaker 1: not do in reference to the collaborative agreement, and the
25:01
Speaker 1: whole thing's laughable. So I again, who's running who? Because
25:06
Speaker 1: I don't believe Sharah long Run is Iris's boss. Technically
25:12
Speaker 1: she is, but I'm pretty sure IRIS calls all the
25:16
Speaker 1: shots and Cheryl just yes, ma'am.
25:19
Speaker 2: You know, and we're not talking about chump change here.
25:21
Speaker 2: We're talking about the extension of this contract pays her
25:24
Speaker 2: in excess of five hundred, five hundred thousand dollars between
25:28
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven.
25:32
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is serious money, and it's
25:35
Speaker 2: a there's no there's no there's no call for, you know,
25:38
Speaker 2: a thorough vetting of this. There's no call for an
25:41
Speaker 2: examination of this, an accounting or a reckoning in any
25:45
Speaker 2: sort of way of of exactly what that money is
25:48
Speaker 2: being spent on.
25:50
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're not going to question Irish.
25:52
Speaker 2: On five hundred and seventy grets anything. Amazing, absolutely amazing.
25:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what, they could pay me just
25:59
Speaker 1: seven grant and I could do a better job.
26:07
Speaker 2: Dam should go down, to go down. And pass out
26:11
Speaker 2: a little literature down there by you know, government Square, and.
26:17
Speaker 1: I would have.
26:19
Speaker 2: You know, some springles and stuff like potato chips, take
26:22
Speaker 2: care of take care of violent crime. That that's how
26:25
Speaker 2: you saw violent crime in the city of Cincinnati.
26:29
Speaker 1: You know, if they put me in government charge of
26:31
Speaker 1: Government Square for about two weeks and they gave me
26:34
Speaker 1: the resources of the CPD and the the h c
26:37
Speaker 1: s O, A government square wouldn't be an issue anymore.
26:40
Speaker 2: And you take some skittles down there, some stuff like that.
26:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I throw skittles at people really hard. You know
26:48
Speaker 1: it's there would be no snacks.
26:52
Speaker 2: Dan, I can tell you that some oranges, some oranges,
26:59
Speaker 2: like a halftime during the soccer game. You know, you
27:01
Speaker 2: got to have some oranges, orange slices, things like that.
27:04
Speaker 2: Take it easy, kids, enjoy an orange slice single ninety nine.
27:08
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you, appreciate the insight.
27:11
Speaker 1: Hey, can I say one more than please do?
27:13
Speaker 2: Yeah? Please do? Go ahead.
27:15
Speaker 1: Did you catch the statement that the chief of staff
27:18
Speaker 1: or the mayor put out yesterday in reference to that
27:21
Speaker 1: press conference by steevem.
27:23
Speaker 2: Oh No, Tell me about that. I did not see
27:27
Speaker 2: the response to that.
27:29
Speaker 1: Oh, it says the Mayor's office welcome to results of
27:32
Speaker 1: the ongoing process and does not have a role in
27:35
Speaker 1: administrative personnel matters such as these. We remained focused on
27:40
Speaker 1: supporting the city administration and CPD and keeping residents safe.
27:46
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard when I saw that.
27:50
Speaker 2: Keeping keeping people safe, that's the number that is. It's
27:54
Speaker 2: the number one priority, the number one.
27:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the mayor, according to the mayors, and
28:00
Speaker 1: he's always been.
28:00
Speaker 2: Safe, absolutely, because I never talked to anyone Johnson.
28:06
Speaker 1: You say it's not safe, you're a racist, and hear
28:09
Speaker 1: this and that.
28:11
Speaker 2: No, I don't know about you, but I never hear
28:14
Speaker 2: from anyone who goes downtown and here's their windows smashed
28:17
Speaker 2: out or gets punched in the face by a thug
28:20
Speaker 2: or you know, gets a gun stuck in their face
28:22
Speaker 2: and gets held up for the cash in their pocket.
28:25
Speaker 2: And that that I never hear from anyone. Stuff like
28:28
Speaker 2: that that happens downtown. Stuff that doesn't. Yeah, you know,
