• 0:38
  Speaker 1: there running the big board in the fifty five KRC
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: command Center. I appreciate everything that he does. I would say,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: what was the way I wanted to phrase that? Exhibit
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: number one of why I'm not in a never been
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a big fan of taking a cruise. Joe Strucker, You're
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: ever taking a cruise anywhere, always going to take a cruise.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not, you know, I just I understand
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: that these things don't happen all that often, but for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: my money, it just seems like they happen with too
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: much regularity. You get out there on a cruise ship,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: some disease or virus breaks out, and you're on that ship.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: There's no where to go. I just let I know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: people who take cruises all the time, Maybe you're one
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of them. Maybe I'm Maybe I'm looking at this the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: wrong way. But for my money, I just don't want
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to be I don't want to be on that ship.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want to take the chance that the ship
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that I'm on is going to be the one that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: has the the disease outbreak, the virus outbreak, whatever the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: case may be. And now you've got the m V
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: hondias h O N d I U S hondias. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't know if I'm saying that right,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but now you got their people. You know, they're being evacuated,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They've got to travel on the planes, biomedical center, got
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to go to uh the big health center there in Nebraska,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: get squared away, got to be in quarantine, all that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I just I just can't deal with
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So again, I know people who
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: take cruises all the time. They love them, they think
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they're great. I know I have friends that take multiple
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: cruises a year. They get they get back from one
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: cruise and you know, we're hanging out at the pool
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: or having a couple of cocktails, and then they're talking
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: about the next one. They're taking it in a week
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: or two. Cruise cruise cruise all over the world, Look,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: if that's your thing, then knock yourself out. But I'll
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: find other ways to entertain myself if I ever have
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: any vacation time. So, Brian Thomas is off today. It
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is Monday morning. That means a smith event is going
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to happen. And Joe, that's seven to twenty. If memory
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: serves about seven to twenty, we'll be talking with Chris
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Smithman and another I'm sure he'll be wanting to talk
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: about the latest from Mayor Purval and the statement that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he put out regarding the latest shooting downtown right there
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: on Fountain Square. I love what Tricia Macki did on
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: her on her Facebook post. She said she posted the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: mayor's reaction to what happened on Fountain Square. And of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: course you know the individuals involved in that have been
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: identified now, but the mayor said that here, here's what
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he put up last night. There was a homicide at
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: an establishment in Fountain Square, the central hub in our
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: city that thousands of innocent residents use every day, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's unacceptable for tragedies like this to occur. Well, how
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: many times have we heard this mayor say it is unacceptable?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: If it's unacceptable, mister mayor what exactly are you doing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: about it? I think that is a legitimate question that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if Chris Smithman has some
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thoughts along these lines in the seven o'clock hour. Thank
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you to our officers on the scene for your quick
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: response to secure the area and keep folks safe. I'm
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: not a big fan of politicians using the word folks.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know why that just that that's a word
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that just it rings hollow to me if it's it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And again, this is another thing with just me. Using
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the word folks is perfectly fine, perfectly acceptable in everyday conversation.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I just don't like it when politicians use it. It
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: seems kind of lazy. Just from some folks out there,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it's saying I have the same kind of reaction when
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they use the word workers. I just it, it just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: hits me the wrong way. You've got all these whether
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it's it doesn't matter, if it's city hall, doesn't matter,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: if it's county commissioners, doesn't matter. If to me, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this and again this is all to me, doesn't matter
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: if it's a state federal level. When you've got politicians
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and they sit there and they talk about workers. We
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: got workers for this that the workers, It just it
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: just hits me the wrong way, as if they are
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: putting themselves above a whole an entire classy. But he
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: said again, thank you to our officers on the scene
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for your quick response to secure the area, keep folks safe.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: One individual's in custody. The department of the Department is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: actively investigating. Our hearts are with the family and those
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: mourning this tragedy. Again, I think the word tragedy is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: misused here. This was I guess these two dudes that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: were involved in their shooting had a common girlfriend. Is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: according to the report that I read over the weekend,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: this to me is more like a domestic dispute or
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: this is actually a crime. I would suggest that most
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: shootings are a crime, not a tragedy. Now, it doesn't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: mean that a shooting cannot lead to a tragedy when
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you have let's say, I don't know, some gang bangers
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on a random street downtown and they decide to go
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: shoot it up, or shoot at each other, or have
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a running gun battle, whatever the case may be. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of course these individuals are largely not trained in the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: use of firearms. I think we can all agree on
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that they shoot wildly, indiscriminately, no thought to where those
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: bullets might go once they exit the weapon. And let's say,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Let's say an innocent woman is walking
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: down the street, minding her own business, removed hundreds of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: feet away from the situation, no concept of what sort
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of shenanigans or what sort of criminal activity is going
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on behind her, and these gang bangers are just firing
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: away wildly as they tend to do, not a care
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in the world where those bullets might go, and that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: woman is struck and killed by a stray bullet. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: death of that woman, that is a tragedy. I think
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: there was a case several years ago where there was
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a we had a windstorm in town and there was
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a young girl who was out on her sidewalk in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: her neighborhood and the strong winds blew a tree branch down,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a large tree branch that came down, hit her and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: killed her. That is a tragedy. That is something that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is totally out of your control. But when you have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: two individuals who for whatever reason want to square off
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: in the most public of places and shoot each other,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and again, it doesn't matter if it's in a public
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: place or a restaurant or an apartment complex, someone's home
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: in a car, and that's not a tragedy, that's criminal activity.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So I think it would be helpful if the mayor
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: would describe these incidents in the right way. So Tricia
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Mackie on her WXIX post on Facebook, she posted the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: reaction from the mayor and she says, I also included
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Police release on the details. By the way,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the mayor turned off comments on his page, maybe he'll
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: see yours here. So again, I'm not big on what
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: people do on social media, but when you're the mayor
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of a town like Cincinnati, a city like Cincinnati, why
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: turn the comments off? Why not let me see what
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: people have to say when you post something like that?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And then signal ninety nine went on after the mayor
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: put out his statement on this, and she writes there
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: it is again unacceptable. Riddle me this. At what point
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was city Hall muzzle the iris rolease in Scottie Johnson's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and publicly admit that violent crime cannot be controlled on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: our city or in most of our courtrooms. Because there's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a problem. Nobody at city Hall wants to admit out loud.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Chief Teresa was effectively shown the door after the fight
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: at Fores Street, combined with a non fatal shooting a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Fountain Square and her refusal to bend the knee to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: three c DC summer safety demands, which would have turned
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Police officers into a mandatory overtime private security for
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: US for Downtown optics that that was their justification for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: terminating her. That was the panic, the public safety crisis.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Since her removal last fall, we've had mass shooting at
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Riverfront Live, multiple fatal shootings, multiple non fatal shootings, a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: mini riot during opening days, and that's a I think
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: she hits on something that's pretty important. There, multiple non
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: fatal shootings. I mean, the shootings happen all the time
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and we don't hear about and all the fatal ones
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily make the news all the time. They might
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: get a quick mention, but then they disappear from the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: news the news cycle rather quickly. The non fatal ones,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: there's just not enough time in the day to report
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: them all. I mean, there really isn't. If all we
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: did was and if all local news did was report
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on shootings people getting shot, that'd behalf of your newscast
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: every morning, every hour, every day, every night. And there's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: no way than anyone who is a consumer of news
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: is going to be able to keep up with all
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of that. Let's see, she writes, just this weekend, a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: man shot near the Clifton Kroger parking lot, another shooting
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: on Rosemont, now a fatal shooting Fountain Square itself, the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: literal postcard location City Hall uses to sell Cincinnati to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the country. So will they fire our interim police chief
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: for the out of control and very public violence happening
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: under his watch? Well, of course not. The mayor doesn't
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: need us to sacrifice upon to get re elected this year.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So let's stop pretending that we don't have a gang problem,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a violent offender problem, a courtroom problem. We also have
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a political leadership problem that is so terrified of damaging
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the downtown is thriving narrative that they'd rather gaslight the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: public than say the obvious out loud. So once again,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine is looking at this and I think
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: putting some some perspective on things, as Signal ninety nine
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: normally does. And it's just it's just too much, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and the response is on Tricia Mackiew's pay that they're
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: worth the read, at least some of the ones that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I can see. There was one person who wrote about,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: what is there no internet service at the at the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the resort where he's vacationing this week, he won't see
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: our comments? And again, I don't know if the Mayor's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: on vacation this week or not. Joe, do we know?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Do we know if the mayor's in town this week?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: We have any idea on it? No, don't. We don't know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So I guess we'll find out as the as the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: week goes along, hopefully there'll be no more tragedies according
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to the mayor. It's Dan Carrolyn for Brian Thomas on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCV talk station.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Don't know who to trust?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Go with the sure thing?
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: PJ.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's fifty five k r CD talk station, Dan Carroll
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: hanging out for Brian Thomas. Joe, what'd you do this weekend?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Anything fun? Have a big on? Oh? Well, congratulations his daughter.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Joe's daughter graduated from college. May I ask which college?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Mount Saint Joe outstanding? So Joe had a nice weekend.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: All the commencement ceremonies and all that. That is excellent. Well,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: congratulations to you and your daughter. That is a huge deal.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I uh, this weekend maybe took a lot a more
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: low brow route. I was hanging out with Afroman this weekend. Joe,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: are you familiar with afromn Afroman was into and I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: do a podcast with some friends of mine and the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: name of the podcast it's called one More on Them
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: out Here. We actually have our own YouTube channel and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: we have been trying for I mean, ever since Afroman
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: found himself in the news with his difficulties with the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Adams County Sheriff. I've been following his case for the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: last I don't know, maybe since what is this twenty
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: twenty six. I guess the whole thing started in twenty
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: twenty two when his home was rated by the Adams
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's deputies and they, if you're familiar with the story,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they did some damage to the gate in front of
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: his house, They kicked down his door, went rummaging through
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the entire home, weapons drawn they had. They had a
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: warrant that said there was multiple I guess, you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: suggesting that he might have been trafficking in narcotics, that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: there were kidnapping victims somewhere on the premises all of us,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of course, not true. So Afroman brought some claims against
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the Adams County Sheriff's deputies. All those claims were dismissed.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Then what happened was that Afroman decided to write some
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: songs using surveillance video from his home inside and outside
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of these Adams County Sheriff's deputies and the sheriff himself
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: conducting this raid in his home. And so he put
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: out multiple songs and the videos went viral. Afroman saw
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a resurgence in his career and quickly became somewhat of
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: a hero to to the conservative movement on the right
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: because he was protecting his First Amendment rights Fourth Amendment rights.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And so once those videos got out there, these sheriff
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: deputies who were featured in the videos wound up coming
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: after him, suing him for using their likeness and their
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: images without their permission. And so that's the case that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: wound up going to court, and there was a trial
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, and of course Afroman
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: won that case. And so he is just a super
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: hot performer. Right now. I've been traveling the country making
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: multiple appearances on Fox News and Newsmax and all these
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: other news outlets and Look, and so we've been trying
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to get him on our podcast for a long time,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and so we were finally able to get him on
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: our podcast this weekend. And he had a performance in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Newport on Saturday night, and so Saturday we had him
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: on the podcast before his performance in Newport, and so
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we had a lengthy discussion with Afroman talking about all
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the all the details and all the ins and outs,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and the guy is just is just hilarious. His outlook
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: on life is just tremendous. And the one thing that
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that really struck me is we were having that conversation
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and the one thing that really strikes me about Afroman
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: period and I was and I I must admit, I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: was even more impressed with him because he invited us
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to go to his his performance on Saturday night, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I did my I went there with my wife and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: some other friends and so we watched the Afroman performance.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And during the course of that conversation, I mean, not
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: only was it what were we just rolling in laughter
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the entire time, but he made he made some really
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: good points and and I thought to myself during that time,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm actually going to i mean, for Brian Thomas tomorrow.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have a couple of cuts from that
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: podcast and I'll have them on the show tomorrow. But
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: one of the one of the things that struck me
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: as we were having that that conversation was that you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: his life and my life, and the and the lives
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of the the people that I do the podcast. You know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: his lifestyle is not my lifestyle. My lifestyle is not
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: his lifestyle. Doesn't mean we can't be friends, doesn't mean
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that we are necessarily opposed to each other. But to me,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I was thinking that, you know, the even though we
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: may have different takes on things and different ways that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: we live our lives, the one place where we find
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of common ground is on the issue of freedom,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: on the issue of being an American, love of country.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: He is actually a very law and order guy when
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and he has a lot of reasons not to be.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: He has as a black man, he has had his
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: share of discriminatory treatment from law enforcement. He touched on
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that subject a little bit, but it's not something that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he dwells on. He doesn't let it rule his life.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: He lives his life the way he sees fit. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he doesn't criticize anyone else, for there are plenty of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: people who will criticize his lifestyle and the choices that
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: he makes, but he doesn't. He doesn't have time or
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the energy to criticize anyone else for the way they live.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: He wants to live his life the way he wants
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: to live it, and he wants to be left alone.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And should he, uh, and and any of us should we?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: You know, we step outside the established boundaries, you know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to do something that that is against the law or
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: somehow runs a foul of whatever the you know what,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: whatever is acceptable, then then we we own that. We
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: we make amends for it, we pay whatever needs to
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: be paid, and we move on with our lives. So
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I think this is a great example of how people
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: with different backgrounds, different outlooks, different ways of living their
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: lives can come together around the bigger issue of liberty
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and freedom and justice for everyone. And so based on
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that common ground, we're able to discuss all kinds of topics.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: And this guy was great and and at the end
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of the podcast, and and this and these are the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: cuts I want to play tomorrow, I asked him about
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, you know, we've been talking here
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: for an hour or so, and I said, you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you really I get the sense that you really are
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a law and order guy at the end of it all,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: because again he went to court with these Adams County
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's deputies. Yeah, and the Adams County Sheriff. So am
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I late for a break here? Okay, I'm way late
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: for a break, but Joe tells me I'm way late
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: for a break. I'll finish up my thoughts on this
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: on the other side of this fifty five KRC the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: talk station.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Hello, I'm a Robert Schmichael. I did lots of things
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: cartoons on us in.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: It, and I blew right past that last break, got
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: into my reminiscence about hanging out with Afroman this weekend
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and went to a show. I'll tell you what the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: show was. It was. If you would have told me,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know five years ago, that you're going to
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: be going to an Afroman show, I would have thought, Hey,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you know a lot, are probably not going to do that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: But I did, and it was fun and it was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's one guy. He's up there on stage.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The dude has some amazing dance moves and he actually
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I knew he played guitar, but to actually to watch
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: him play guitar and listen to it in person, it was,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it was. It was amazingly nice and good. I'm not
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: saying he's the greatest guitarist in the world, but it was.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, for one guy, he goes up there and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: he's got the music machine, plays the you know, the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: background tracks and all that, and he's up there performing
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: for almost three hours straight while drinking goblet after goblet
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of Colt forty five. It was an amazing show. We
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: got to get to another quick break and we'll continue
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: on with more. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: KRCV Talks.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Days You're one stop for advertising called eight four four
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: eight four.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Four fifty five krc the Talk station five forty on
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: this Monday morning, Dan Carrol for Brian Thomas. Just to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: wrap up my thoughts about hanging with Afromn this weekend,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: we got Tom on the line.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Was that.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Towards the end of our podcast again I asked him
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: about that about him, you know that I had the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: sense that he is a law and order guy, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: he thought about it for a second, and he said,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: we cannot live in a policeless society and we need
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the police, we need law and order. And again I'm
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: just paraphrasing what he said here, but I thought it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: was a really important comment because this is a guy
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: who has had his difficulties with police, and he still
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: apparently does not have a great relationship with the Adams County.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: He lives in Adams County and he still doesn't have
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a great relationship with them. But he understands the need
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: for police. He understands the need for a civil society.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: This is not a guy who wants chaos or anarchy
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: in the streets, doesn't want that. He wants everyone to
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: be free, wants everyone to be able to do what
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: they do. But he also understands the need to have
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: order in our society. I mean, he's all about that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And you know, you will not find anyone who's a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: bigger supporter of law enforcement than I am, or the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: people who host shows on this radio stage. And the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: idea that we need law and order also comes with
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the responsibility that those who are charged with providing that
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: law and order must hold themselves to a high standard.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: And if you step out of line. Look, we're all human,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: we all make mistakes, but you need to own those mistakes.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: You need to if you have a shortcoming, you need
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: to address that in a meaningful way, do what you
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: can and make it right and move on. Those things
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: did not happen in his situation with the raid on
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: his home because I asked him, I said, is your
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: gat and your door hasn't been repaired. He says, well,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: yeah it has, but no thanks to those who did
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the damage. So yeah, own what you do. Do it right.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: You make a mistake, you pay the price, whatever that
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: price may be. And he really made some good points
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: on that. So I'll have some of that audio, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I'll send some of that audio to Joe during the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: day today and we'll have that tomorrow. I would have
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: done it yesterday, but I just had too much stuff
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I was looking at. Let's go to the phones and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: see what Tom has to say this morning. Tom, you're
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Well, good morning, Dan, how you doing.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I'm good Tom. What's up?
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Listening to the stuff you're talking about this morning? And
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: the thing that strikes me between the result of people
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: doing something stupid can have it can add two different
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: effects the same event. So I always tend to talk
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: about politics and voting on this ship, and so I'm
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: thinking about elections, and elections have results. And on one hand,
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: people people get what they voted for. Some people like
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: the fact that there's a bunch of Democrats running Cincinnati
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: d of the grab and you know, some people like
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: the fact that, you know, Democrats controlled various different cities
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: and areas around this country. Some people like that.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: So people are happy about.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: It, and and for the other people, it's a tragedy
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: for them because they're stuck with the results of other
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: people's stupid decisions to elect Democrats and and to put
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: people in office, and to use your data support to
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: put people in office who don't care about law and order,
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: who probably don't even want law order. They want a
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: situation where there's chaos and there's and there's a lot
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: of crime, and so that they can they can try
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: to push their jetta. So you know, again, same same
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: election can have two different, completely different results, and one
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: side being you know, you get what you voted for.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: The other side, it's a tragedy because there's people they
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: don't deserve this, They deserve to have the freedoms that
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: they that they are by God and by the Constitution
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: and the way this country was founded. And it's a shame.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: That we've got to put up with people who.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Make stupid decisions and vote for people just because of
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: their own selfish whatever. And they don't they don't think
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: about what they're doing enough to realize how stupid it is.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: So for all you people out there are going to
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: be looking at voting this year later this year, just
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: don't vote Democrat.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Have a great day.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tom, thank you very much for that phone call.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And he makes a good point. And after the I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: remember the last time, the last voting cycle that we had,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and that was one of the first persons I talked
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to after the last voting cycle was Chris Smithman, and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I said, this is a clear indication that the and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: again the voter turnout was abysmal. I believe it was
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: twenty And I said, the people who've bothered to come
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: out to vote in the city of Cincinnati, this is
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: apparently what they want. They want lousy streets, they want
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: snow that can't be cleared, they want chaos, violence in
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: the streets of the city of Cincinnati. Because we have
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: had for too long. Now a city council that refuses
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to deal with this in a serious way. Now they
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: will say they you know, they will say they are
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: dealing with it in a serious way. But to my
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: way of thinking, and I think to the way of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: thinking of a lot of people who especially people who
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: listen to this radio station into this program, will say,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the results speak for themselves. Fifty five KRC the talk
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: station in this edition of the Marketers Report, Joe Vanni
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Marketing fifty five KRC, DE Talk Station five point fifty.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. Joe, is this a different
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Tom we had? We just had one time a few
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: minutes ago, didn't we Okay, this is a different time.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: All right, different Tom. You're on fifty five KRC. How
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: are you doing this morning?
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah? It's Tom two, So different Tom.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Tom, Tom one, Tom two.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: It's like saying one and thing two.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: That's a doctor SEUs. That's a doctor SEUs thing, isn't
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it thing one? Thing too?
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: I don't want to go on that.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: God.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: So my idea is, well, let's can we talk about
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: this property tax thing we're going to vote on in November.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: I'm thinking if we vote and pass that thing. These
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: cities are going to have to come up with a
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: different funding routine, and they're going to have less money
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: to pay like Adams County sheriff's departments to kick indoors
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: and gates of like Afroman. City of Cincinnati won't be
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: able to come up with seven thousand dollars to say
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: that Miss Rowley some ridiculous sum of money. And I'm thinking,
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: if we're generating the money off of sales taxes and.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Herself, sweet contract, doesn't she yeah, yeah, that's nice, nice
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: for her.
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: So all these all this money is pouring in because
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: the poor old property taxes are killing everybody, and the
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: school districts are just out of control and their spending
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: on non core subjects. And I think we need to
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: keep hammering a way to get these people out to
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: sign these petitions to get this thing on the November ballot.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: And there's so much waste and abuse in these cities
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: and state funded things, just like in the state of Ohio.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: We're funding all these things that benefit these illegals in
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: this country on temporary work visas and everything, and it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: this money is just pouring in and we're bankrupting ourselves.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Tom, I feel you on that one because
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I feel I feel it every every single month when, uh,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: when when I pay the mortgage, because I'm like a
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: lot of other people that had that mortgage payment to
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a very manageable sum every month, and uh, with the
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: increase in property tack it about packet property taxes, that
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: payment goes up is probably I don't know, my payment
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: is is what thirty thirty five forty percent higher than
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: it was before every month? I mean that's uh, that's
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and it's not it's not just me that it's it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of other people because the property taxes just
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: keep going up and up and up. So, uh, we'll
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: see what happens with that. I think for Veke's got
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: some got some thoughts on that as well. I think
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: for Veke is going to to deal with that in
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a serious way. But maybe we'll run that by Chris
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Smithment when he shows up for the Smither vent in
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: the seven o'clock hour. You know, I thought this his
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: headline was fake when I first saw it. But in
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: North Korea, Kim John Un has updated the Korean Constitution,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the Constitution of North Korea to require an automatic nuclear
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: strike if he is assassinated. The change comes amid heightened
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: global tensions following the killing of Iran Supreme leader the
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Ali Khamanee and other officials during the recent conflict. Comedy
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: was killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran as part
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: of a coordinated US Israeli military operation. The constitution revision
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: was approved during a session of North Korea Supreme People's Assembly.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: The Korean National Intelligence Service brief senior government officials. The
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: revised policy outlines procedures for a retaliatory a retaliatory action
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: if North Korea's leadership is incapacitated or killed. So Kim
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Jong un is saying, if I get taken out, the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: nukes are going to fly. Hopefully, if such an eventuality
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: would come to pass, I would hope that there might
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: be cooler heads that would prevail in North Korea and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: prevent that from happening. I mean, after all, Kim Jong
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: und won't be around two meet out punishment should something
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: like that happen. Five point fifty five at fifty five krs,
• 35:34

  Speaker 2: Fifty five KRS The talk Station, fifty.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Five KRC DE Talk Station, Joe Strucker rolling out to
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Van Halen on this Monday morning, Dan Carroll and for
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. Always glad to be here. Fifty five KRC,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Great Morning audience five three seven, fifty five hundred, if
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you want to get on board and uh again, always
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: my pleasure to to sit in for Brian Thomas. Chris
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Smitherman coming up next hour, The smither Vent for a
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Monday morning. That is I don't know about you, but
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that is whenever I'm not here or not doing something else,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the smither Vent is his appointment radio for me, and
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I know it is for many many people. What are
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: we going going on? Here's the headline that grab my
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: attention when I was getting ready for the show today,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and this has to deal with the twenty twenty election.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: PJ Media has it. My buddy Matt Margolis wrote this
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: piece and he's talking about something big on the horizon,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and it's coming from senior Trump administration officials. Monica Crowley,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: who is the US government Chief of Protocol, dropped a
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: significant claim that hard evidence, hard evidence that Donald Trump,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: when the twenty twenty presidential election is coming, and it's
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: coming soon, he did win in a landslide, and we
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: will soon be able to give evidence about that, Monica
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Crowley set. Crowley did not lay out a timeline or
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: spell out exactly what the evidence would look like, but
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the message was clear. According to The Washington Times, she
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: offered no further details of the nature of what's being prepared. That,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of course, will give critics ammunition to try and shoot
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: all this down. But Crowley's or Marx didn't just come
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Her claim tracks almost perfectly with what
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Pttel told Maria Bartoromo last month. Bettel
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: appeared on Fox News Sunday Morning with Maria Bartiomo and
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: announced that arrests are coming over the coordinated effort to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: rig the twenty twenty election. We are going to be
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: making arrest and it's coming, I promise you, said Patel
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: to senior officials. Same message, same urgency. Matt Margolis writes
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that is not a coincidence. Their argument, and they are
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: not alone making it, is that a coordinated effort to
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: undermine the twenty twenty election result led to Joe Biden
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: being declared the winner. And we've heard all the liberal
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: arguments that no fraud was actually found. As I like
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to say the twenty They always tell us the twenty
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: twenty election was as pure as the wind driven to know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the courts confirmed the election was entirely above board. But
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that's simply not true. Every legal challenge filed after the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty contest was rejected not for a lack of evidence,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: but for a lack of standing. So there's still a
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: lot we don't know about the twenty twenty election, a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: lot that Democrats would rather not have seen the light
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: of day. Meanwhile, the legal machinery is already in motion.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: A federal grand jury in Florida is actively examining issues
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: related to the twenty twenty election. The Department of Justice
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: has also just brought in former US attorney and Trump
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: allied Joe to Geneva to work alongside prosecutors in the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Southern District of Florida. Then there's Georgia, a state Biden
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: only barely won in twenty twenty. Back in January, agents
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: executed a search warrant in Fulton County walked out with
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: ballots and other materials from the twenty twenty general election.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: The establishment media will dismiss all of this as election denialism,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: but the fact is the twenty twenty election was never
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: properly investigated. Instead, we were told to trust the results
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: of the quote most secure election in history, and if
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: you dare question the results, you were mocked, censored, and demonetized.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Well I've been mocked. Fortunately I haven't been censored, and
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything to demonetize, So I guess here.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I dodged two out of three of those things,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Matt Margolis Wright, So reckoning is coming. There are now
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: search warrants, grand jury subpoenas, and federal prosecutors. The truth
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: will come out. Whatever Krawley and Pateell are sitting on
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: the clock is ticking, and if the ever evidence is
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: as significant as they are suggesting, the political fallout will
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: be unlike anything this country has seen for a very
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: long time. So it will be good, hopefully. What Monica
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Crowley said and what Cash Betel said will finally lead
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: to something. Again, how many times have we been down
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: this road where we have been told that some misdeed
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is going to be investigated, someone who did something wrong
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: is going to be held accountable, that hearings will be held,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff. And I can't tell you how
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: many times. And I spend I probably spend way too
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: much time listening and watching video of these congressional hearings,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: these different committees where you've got one whistleblower after another,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: just dropping one bombshell after another of impropriety, money that
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: was not spent right, laws that were broken. All these
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: details come out and nothing is done about it, absolutely nothing.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: And look, if information comes out about the twenty twenty
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: election not going to change anything. It's not going to
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: change any But won't it be nice to know that
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: those of us who have looked at all the irregularities
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: that surrounded the twenty twenty election and pointed to it
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and said something is not right here, that vindication will.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time coming, but I believe vindication
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: will come. So Matt margolis I, I hope you're right
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: on that account. Let's go to the phones, and this
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: is Eddie Eddie, you're on fifty five KRC.
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: Hey, damn couples, Uh city council there. I think they're
• 43:04
  Speaker 9: doing a hell job, Dan. All they want to do
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: is get re elected, which they did handily back in November.
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: And they want to prevent riots. And we haven't had
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: a riot. No, well, I don't know, it's been a
• 43:17
  Speaker 9: few years.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: We had a little we had a little dust up
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: on Opening Day, so so maybe maybe that doesn't count.
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: But well, you know, let's briefly, let me let me
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: touch on that Opening Day. I don't know if that
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: means the definition.
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: Of a riot.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know its riot, but we can't. I mean,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: you think having that kind of unrest on a on
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: a major, a major event day in the city of Cincinnati,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: does does that serve the public?
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Does that serve the city of Cincinnati? Well? Does that
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: absolute politicians.
• 43:52
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you personal experience Opening day parade. We saw,
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: we saw some young folks running through the crowd and
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: I didn't see people get knocked over, but I saw.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Him got bumped hard.
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: And my buddy's wife said something to two police officers
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: who were standing nearby. Now they had their backs to
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: the sidewalk. They were looking at the at the parade,
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: and the one officer turned around and said, well, we're
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: responsible for this. I will tell the officers responsible for that,
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: and he pointed to the sidewalk and I thought, okay, well,
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: I guess that's how they do it. And of course,
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: well we didn't chee anything. After that, the mom of
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: kids had moved on down. But Dan, how the only
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: residents can vote for city council, but yet hundreds of
• 44:47
  Speaker 9: thousands more go down there paying taxes working in Cincinnati.
• 44:52
  Speaker 9: How do we change that?
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the that's the conundrum. What happens in Cincinnati
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: affects all all of us. It affects all of us
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: in a political sense, in a financial sense, in a
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: well being sense. You know, we want to live in
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: an area that is prosperous and good, and I think
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: largely we have that, but that we have these underlying
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: concerns and with violence and shootings and all the negative
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: stuff that puts the city in a bad light, and
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: all that has a cumulative effect of making the city
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: a less desirable place to be. And there are again,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: when you talk about people voting, it was a very
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: small portion of those who are eligible to vote, who
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: actually came out to vote. And again, when we have
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Chris Smithman on in about an hour from now, I'll
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: bring this up to him. But what I said, I said,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I said, Chris, is it a fair statement to say
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: that the people who vote in Cincinnati this is the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: kind of chaos that they want and around the city
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. And his response was, yet, this is a
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: fair statement because we knew that this city council, we
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: have seen them for what they are. We know that
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: they choose not to deal with this in a serious way,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and we are getting more of that. And with that, Eddie,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: we got to run. We got to get to a break.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: And I thank you very much for the phone call
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: six sixteen at fifty five KRCD talk stations.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: If you're living with pain, did you just reach the
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: point in your life where you just started telling.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Me fifty five KRCV talk station six point twenty Dan
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Carol for Brian Thomas smith event coming up about an
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: hour from now, So hope you can stick around for that.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: You know, you talk about things that grab your attention,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and I was looking at this last week and I
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: knew I was going to talk about it this week
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and this is the the work that has been done
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: by Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire, and he has
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: been taking a deep dive into the billion dollar Medicaid
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: fraud related to in home care services here in Ohio.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: And it's so much of it is going on in Columbus, Ohio.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: And The Epic Times did an encapsulation. There's three separate
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: pieces that Luke rosy put out and I've been I've
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: reached out to him to try and get him on
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: the show to talk about this. But the Epic Times Rites.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: After months of rumbling rumblings that Ohio could be a
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: hub for Somali fraudsters, somewhat like scandal plague Minnesota, new
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: revelations have thrust the Buckeye state into the national spotlight.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Recently disclosed reporting which raises suspicious suspicions about networks of
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: immigrants reaping massive Medicaid dollars through income in home care,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: also heightened alarm among lawmakers in Ohio and launched a
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: federal investigation. The state is home to America's second largest
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Somali population, behind Minnesota. The Daily Wire published the third
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: installment of an Ohio focused series Medicaid millions. Ohio Senator
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: George Lang told The Epic Times the report is deeply
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: concerning and something we need to investigate thoroughly. Ohio should
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: always be looking for ways to eradicate waste, fraud and
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: abuse in government, and I'm committing to doing just that. Well,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: that's great to Senator Senator George Lang. Hopefully you can
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: make something happen on this. Ohio Medicaid expenditures gained national
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: notice back in May when Vice President JD. Vance posted
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: some findings from Daily Wire journalist Luke Rosiak. The shocking allegations,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: if true, show why the odd task Force work is
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: so important Vans. Vans, who leads Donald Trump's anti fraud
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: task Force, wrote, I'm directing the task force to look
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: into it and take immediate action to prosecute any fraudsters
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: involved and stop all further payments as appropriate. Rosiack zeroed
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: in on Ohio, and he learned that the state spent
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: one billion dollars on home healthcare in twenty twenty four,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: the most recent year available. To find where that money went,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Rosiac spent two months in the state capital of Columbus.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Under waivers, Medicaid has authorized payments to forty seven states,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: including Ohio, for non medical services such as cooking, cleaning,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: and companionship. When people are paid large sums of Medicaid
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: money to simply hang out with their relatives, these expenditures
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: are dubious. Rosiac reports some in home providers received millions
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: of taxpayer dollars, yet Rosiack said he traced their addresses
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to desolate apparently unoccupied office space. Stephanielgrady, spokeswoman for the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Ohio Department of Medicaid, told The Epic Times that some
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: of the entities mentioned in the Daily Wire series are
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: no longer Ohio Medicaid providers or have not built medicaid
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: in several years. Others remain under investigation, she said. However,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: on a single road in Columbus, Rosiack reported that he
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: found seven nearly empty buildings that were supposed to house
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: two hundred eighty eight home health care businesses. They build
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Medicaid two hundred and fifty million dollars between twenty eighteen
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four. During an interview host with Glenn
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: beckra Glenn Beck asked Rosiack how much of this is illegal.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Rosiack replied, in his opinion, a large portion of it
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: is fraud. However, verifying the possible fraudulent amount is difficult
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: because it's happening in people's private residences. Thus authorities would
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: have trouble sustaining were you really hanging out with your
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: family member that day. Rosiac said, let me, I'm going
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to get to some of the some of the particulars
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: on this, which to my way of thinking are just
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: draw dropping. But there are some state like Josh Williams
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: is one of the lawmakers that has been talking about this,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and he wants to look into it. But this stuff
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: that Rosiack is reporting is just draw dropping to my
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: way of thinking. And we have some of those details
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: coming up. Six twenty five, fifty five KRCV talk station.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Turn up your radio. Here's the DE talk station. Fifty
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: five krc DE talk station. Getting back to the Luke
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Rosiack piece and a daily wire. Actually there's three pieces
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: on this that he wrote, and he went to Columbus
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: investigated all these office buildings where all these home healthcare
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: companies are listed and reportedly doing business. And this is
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: something that I guess and he Cook has looked at this,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: and Joe who who's the other guy that has been
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: doing this. Did it in Minnesota, did it in Columbus?
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: He's out. I can think his name escapes me at
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: the moment, but yeah, you know what I'm talking about though,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: that guy. But Luke Rosiack has been looking at this
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: and went to a property on Cordoba Drive or I'm sorry,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: the Cordoba property and Roast Drive in Columbus, and he
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: writes that many of the business businesses have signs reading
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: employees are on break, but there are indications that might
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: be a ruse. It's clear that no one has been
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: entering JLLL Home Healthcare LLC, where the door doesn't even
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: have a doorknob, It's adorned with a sorry We're closed
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: sign and features a bizarre slogan steaming to assist. It
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: was incorporated by Kofia Doma, also who owns a trucking
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: business called JLLL Transportation and Logistics. Record show down the
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: hall at First Choice Home Healthcare LLC. When we visited,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: there was an envelope sitting on the door, postmarked from
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: five months prior from the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Vetting such a business would almost be almost impossible. In
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: medical records it's a CEO is a person named Ahmed
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Ahmed Ahmed with no middle name. Another company, Medinah Home Healthcare,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: led by a name I can pronounce, received four hundred
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: and ten thousand dollars from the State of Ohio in
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: twenty two million. From Medicaid. It's billing topped out at
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: nearly a million dollars in one month in December of
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Its website is a dead link and hasn't
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: posted to its Facebook page in September of twenty four
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Its last post says the author was transitioning to helping
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: people write essays to get into college in the United States.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: The Lincoln says he lives in India but majored in
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: feminism and social justice at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: With so many companies, all virtually indistinguishable from one another,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: lacking websites or advertising, and charging the same Medicaid rates,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: the question arises, how do they recruit patients? ZnC health Care,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: the owner isaac Amalco, had ninety three claims in September
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, then suddenly one thousand and sixty five
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: the next month. According to the data, an audit found
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: that fifty six percent of znc's Medicaid payments didn't match
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: up with any of its staff electronic records. The auditor
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: did not recommend any repayments after ZnC said its employees
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: were confused. Moonlight Holt Home Healthcare took nine million dollars.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Moonlight's office was not just closed when the Daily Wire visited,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: but there was nothing inside. It built around twenty thousand
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: dollars a month until skyrocketing to more than five hundred
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month in December of twenty three. Like
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: a shocking number of the home health care firms, it
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: appears to have failed to pay its own taxes, taking
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: millions in taxpayer money but refusing to return to Uncle
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Sam even his share of corporate profits. Tax records reviewed
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: by The Daily Wire so Moonlight has seven state tax
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: lines against it, totaling seventy thousand dollars from twenty twenty
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: two through December of twenty five. Let's see what else
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: do we have on here. The owner of Moonlight was
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: also simultaneously running Comprehensive Behavioral Healthcare Associates in Youngstown, Ohio,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: which build thirty two million for community psychiatric supportive treatment.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: The latter company has its own six hundred thousand dollars
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: federal tax line against it and a website that contains
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: only stock art and doesn't contain the name of a
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: single doctor or employee or their qualifications. So the stuff
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: that this guy has found, there's a property on East
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Dublin more than eighty companies that collectively build at least
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: seventy three million dollars to medicate and also received twenty
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: three million from the state of Ohio. Eleven built more
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: than a million dollars. Let me see two claim two
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: companies claim Suite A alone. According to government records, they
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: built fifteen million dollars Dynamic Home Healthcare, owned by I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: can't read this name who the government paid ten million
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: dollars I mean, And it goes on and on and
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: on again. In this one building down the hall is
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Omega Home Healthcare, which charged taxpayers eleven million dollars between
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen in October of twenty four, the time period
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: for which data is publicly available. So all this, all
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: this data is out there, all this money that has
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: been spent, it's all in the records. It's all out there,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: and Joe. If I'm not mistaken, I think like the
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: wine came out and said that we shouldn't be looking
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: into this, didn't he. Yeah, that we should just kind
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: of kind of lead nothing to see here. It's kind
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: of leave this alone. You know, those people are performing
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: important services. Yeah, I mean, I mean he just goes
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: through building after building after building, all these office building
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: and I mean, you know the one door, didn't you
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: have a door knob on it? They went to this
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: one office building. Tell me see, Horizon turned out to
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: be based out of what appears to be a closet,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: a door with no windows inside of another room. And
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: they're billing you know, hundreds of thousands and millions of
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: dollars home healthcare. What a racket? Maybe something Iris Rolly
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: can look it into when her time in the city
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati comes to an end. Six thirty six fifty
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: five KRC the talk.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Stations, Yeah Radio on iHeart Radio.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Talk station fifty five KRC, the talk station Dan Carroll
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas six on this Monday morning, and I
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: mean the whole thing. You should go here's what you
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: want to if you want to look at more of this.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: So there's three separate pieces on this written by Luke Rosiak,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: the Daily Wire and if you can just google it
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: daily Wire and let me see what the Daily Wire?
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: What did I Daily Wire Medicaid millions, Daily Wire Medicaid millions.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Google that you'll find it and you can. I mean,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: there's far too much to read here, but it just
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: goes on and on and on. He talks about one
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: building that he found in Columbus that has, I think,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: what is it night more than ninety ninety four different
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: companies inside. He said, the building is for all intents
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: and purposes, it's empty. But out of this one building alone,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: sixty six million dollars was built to medicaid over the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: span of a few years. And so he talks about
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff that he writes about in his pieces.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Talks about a politician who founded an eleven million dollar
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: home healthcare company that he appeared to run part time,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: didn't even mention it in his political biography, and the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: company funded his campaign with donations from other home healthcare owners.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: A woman who reinvented her Janitorial LLC as a healthcare
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: provider and build medicaid nearly one thousand dollars in the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: first month alone, and then and then the third piece
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: is interesting because he gets into a lot of these
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: folks that own the home healthcare businesses and how many
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: of them have just extensive criminal records, and I mean
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: criminal records for fraud and criminal records for doing all
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: kinds of different stuff that you would think would disqualify
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: someone from running a company that you know, goes into
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: people's homes and people who are sick, people who are elderly,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: goes into people's homes, and it gets involved in the
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: most personal parts of their lives. You would think that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: would be disqualifying, but apparently it's not. So it's just
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: an amazing read. And all this stuff, again is going
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: on right up the road in Columbus. Mike de Wine
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: has defended all of this, and I think, I think
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if avik Ramaswami has talked about looking
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: into this, if if he gets elected governor actually doing
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: something about it. Let's go to George, who's on the line,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Georgia on fifty five KRC. Good morning, George, what you
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: got for me?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 10: Well, we got all this money to fund all this fraud,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 10: But in the meantime, they throw people on social Security
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 10: under the bus. We got money for people that have
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 10: never contributed anything to this country. But every time I
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 10: look up there saying Social Security is running out of money,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 10: but we can't figure out how to take care of
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 10: the people that help build this country. I draw Social
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 10: Security and I also still work, so I get double whammed.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 10: I paid more for Medicaid, I paid more in taxes. Yeah,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 10: and we've got plenty of money for the nngos, but
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 10: we can't figure out how to take care of the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 10: people and help build this country and the people that
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 10: are build it every day.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: No, I agree the notion that someone who comes to
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: this country illegally, someone who has a kit you know,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: doing the what what's known as the birth or tourism, uh,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: someone that has the fraud of the government, that somehow
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: they are eligible for Social Security benefits of any type.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: That whole idea is just I don't know how that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: makes any sense whatsoever, that someone who has not contributed
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: a dime, and in many cases, if the things that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: I read are true, that many of these individuals are
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: getting far more money and and just reaping all kinds
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: of government benefits that are generally out of reach for
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: a Maria consitizens who have paid into this sham of
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: a system for just about their entire lives, at least
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: their entire working lives. And I get those things in
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: the mail. I mean, I'm you know, I haven't. I'm
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: not drawn Social Security yet. I'm not that old. But
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: that that is, I'll say, it's on the horizon for me.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: And when I look at you know, you get those
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: things in the mail and it breaks down. You know,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: you've put this much money in, you can expect to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: get this much every month. It is just an absolute
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: pittance compared to what could have been there if I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: was able to invest even a portion of that money
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: in something else. It is absolutely one of the absolute
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: worst scandals imaginable, at least in my opinion. Six forty six,

  Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas Chris Smithman coming up in the

  Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour. And during the break there, I see
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: a name pop up on the on the phone call
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Q and well, let's go ahead and put them up
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: and what do you want this morning.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 6: Dan Carroll, first time a long time, just wanting to
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 6: call in.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Pavis?
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: Let me tell you something.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you. Let me ask you a question.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Did you read the text? Did you read the text
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: that I sent you over the weekend?
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 6: I did I read it? I think, Well, you know,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: we had kind of a busy weekend. I don't.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know. No, I talked about it.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the show. I talked about it this,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I talked about it this moin.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, some of us were doing other things while
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 6: you were talking about it. But but let me let
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: me say this. I had a busy weekend. This weekend.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: We did a we do a podcast. We had Afroman
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 6: here at the house doing a podcast. So I don't
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: know if you realized I was a little bit busy.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: So forgive my you know, if I overlooked it for
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 6: a moment, because let's be fair.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: But wait, wait, that's why I was. I was planning
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: on having you on tomorrow to talk about this.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll be happy to do it. But let me
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 6: say this. You are you are no one to be
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: lecturing somebody about promptness and replying to texts. Okay, let's
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: just let's you get anybody else on the planet to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 6: do it other than you.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: I can be a little slow sometimes on the reply.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: I'll own that, I will.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 6: Own that I find it right. No, but here's the deal, Dan,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: You you brought up and you really you know, I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 6: was I was going to have a nice, calm, peaceful
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: Monday morning, and you have brought up uh you you
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: you and with well document, I would like to say,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 6: you research things before you really start talking about them.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 6: Unlike one of us, the fraud, the rampant fraud, Americans
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: are a generous people up until the point where you
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 6: start taking advantage of us, and then we become a
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: very un generous people. And I am well past that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 6: point because the stories that you've just briefly brushed on
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 6: and the articles the resources that you've shared have infuriated me. However,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 6: much like our guest Afroman who makes lemonade out of lemon,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: I have stumbled upon a new idea and I am
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 6: going to immigrate to Somalia and then I'm going to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: apply for protected status to come back to the United States,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 6: at which point, once my feet hit the soil, I'm
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 6: going to open up home health care and trucking logistics
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: company and build a government for millions of dollars a
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 6: month and then just sit on my took us and
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 6: let the money roll in. What say you?
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: That seems to be the way that many of these
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: individuals have been operating. They found. But I would say this,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I would say if Joe Biden was serving a second term,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: that might be, you know, a way to prosperity for you.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: But now that Jada and I have great confidence in
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: jd Vance and doctor Oz Memmett that they are going
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: to thoroughly look at these sorts of things, and jd
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: Vance has already been given a heads up on this
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: that hopefully these things are going to come to an end.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: If we get a guy like vivik Ramaswami and there
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: I cannot imagine him looking askance at something like this
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: and just you know, sort of brushing it under the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: rug or say there's nothing to see here and let
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: these kind of things continue. I mean, this is an
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: absolute rip off to the tunes. You know, hundreds of
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars involving the federal government and then probably
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: you know more hundreds of millions involving the government of Ohio,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: and it is absolutely scandalous for a guy like our
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: governor Mike the Wine to sit there and suggests that
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: that somehow there's you know, racism involved. If you suggest
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: that something like this is worthy of looking into, well.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: I wanted to remove racism because I don't know if
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 6: you checked, but last time I looked, I was white.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 6: So I would go to Somalia and come back as
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 6: a white Somali and then commit the fraud. But I
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 6: while will say that you do mention something very the
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 6: only candidate and I heard him this weekend on Fox
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 6: News addressing this because Amy Acton, I got to be
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: honest with you. Her voice and the content of what
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: she says, she's very She's very kamala esque. She has
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: a very good way of saying a lot about nothing.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: And the tone of her voice drives me literally up
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: a wall because it sounds like she's had oh what
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 6: the word is. She sounds like she's been nipping the
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: bottle a bit early every time she speaks to me
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: with her voice dialect. But the Big Ramaswami mentioned how
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 6: this is going to be one of the things that
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: he focuses on his proud waste and abuse, and he
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 6: mentioned it on Fox News over the weekend, and I
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 6: am happy to hear that finally we have an executive
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: running for the governorship, for the executive position of the
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: state that seems to want to address it. Because, as
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: I said, we are a generous people to a fault.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: Americans would give you their left arm and part of
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 6: their right arm if you ask for it and needed it. However,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 6: we become a very, very upset and very angry people
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: when you take advantage of this, because that takes away
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: systems not designed for that you have to give the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: people in need.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: There was a time when something like this would be
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: absolutely shocking and politicians wouldn't it would, you know, would
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: be falling over themselves to stand up to something like
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: this and say we're going to shut it down. But
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: sadly those days are are behind us. So look tomorrow,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: I gotta have you on. I don't know what time yet,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: but we got to get to a break here, so
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: I got to let you go. But the piece I
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: say to you was about the the idea that some
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: of the Republican Party have of just letting the left
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: run absolutely wild go as far as they can possibly go,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: burn down the whole system, and then maybe miraculously, a
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: new conservative, you know, a new way of looking at
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: the governing the United States will arise out of that.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that that is really a great idea.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: So we'll kick that around tomorrow.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, we'll kick it around tomorrow. It sounds remarkably like
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: some conservative pseudo conservatives called for and implemented here in
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: Anderson Township. However, we will just say that for another day,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: and I eagerly await the the the musings of a
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: Christopher Smitherman to be coming up.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Here that is coming up in the Smith event. PAPIs
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for getting up early this morning,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: six fifty six at fifty five KRC DE talk station.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: At the top of the hour here the top story
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: the talk station.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Got the Van Halen rolling out this morning seven h
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: five on this Monday morning, Dan Jerald and for Brian
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Thomas fifty five KRC. Chris Smith ha been coming up
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: with the Smith events in about fifteen minutes from now,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: so we are all looking forward to that. This thing
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: in Virginia is amazing, the way this whole thing has
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: come around the Virginia Supreme Court striking down the jerry
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: mandering attempt that would have allowed Democrats to effectively strip
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: representation from millions of Virginias. The decision was four to three,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: the majority noting that Democrats violated the Constitution in the
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: way that its shoehorned the referendum in at the last minute,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: not allowing voters to have a say, and whether it
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: was even put on the ballot, And of course the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: left is going crazy on this. In this case, the
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: Commonwealth submitted a proposed constitutional amendment to Virginia voters in
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: an unprecedented manner that violated the intervening election requirement in
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: the Constitution of Virginia. The Court wrote, this violation irre
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: irreparably undermines the integrity of the resulting referendum vote and
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: renders it Nolan void. For this reason, the congressional district
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: maps issued by this Court in twenty twenty one, pursuing
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: too Article two, Section six A of the Constitution of
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Virginia remained governing maps for the upcoming twenty twenty six
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: congressional elections. So in Virginia, they are going crazy about this.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: And we said from the very beginning that this was
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: maybe the all time blatant power grab on the part
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: of Democrats in Virginia. And this is the way the
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party has taken operating unapologetic. Damn the torpedoes. Just
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: do what you want and eventually you get your own way.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Virginia's constitution requires that a proposed amendment be passed by
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: two separate legislatures with an intervening election, allowing voters to
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: have a say on the referendum before it even makes
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: it to a vote for the next legislature. This gives
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: voters two opportunities, one direct the other or one indirect
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: the other direct, to voice their views on the proposed amendment.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: The Court set Virginia Democrats under the leadership of their governor,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Spamberger just said, you know what, just run this through.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: And then the other issue that came about here was
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: that after the Commonwealth, after the Supreme Court overturned the
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: extreme attempt at partisan jerrymandering, the Supreme Court in Virginia
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: also talked about having an election day. In twenty twenty,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Democrats forced through changes to the way Virginia conducts elections,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: turning the normal election day into a forty five day
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: voting extravaganza. Does that sound familiar to anyone? Because they
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: instituted that forty five day voting period and then tried
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: to sneak the referendum onto the ballot after more than
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: a million Virginians had already cast ballots forty two days
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty five election. Democrats were forced to
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: defend the referendum by claiming that the election is only
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: one day before evaluating the terms of election. By legal
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: scholars and courts, it's worth observing the Commonwealths view would
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: be unrecognizable to the average citizen, and the court wrote,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: imagine of the Imagine one of the over one million
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Virginians who had voted in person before election day in
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Walking into a polling place, the voter
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: says to the officer of the election, I'm here to
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: vote in the election. The officer of the election response,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: we are not conducting an election here, but that's why
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: I'm here. The voter replies, maybe so, but let me explain.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: The officer of the election insists, you can vote in
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: the election, but we are not conducting an election today.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Elections are only conducted on election day it's very confusing.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: I know legal scholars and courts would have had the
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: same bewildered reaction as a hypothetical average citizen. The court said,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: the definition of election day has always broadly denoted the
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: act of choosing. In twenty twenty five, Democrats waited until
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: the forty second day of early voting to ram through
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: the proposed referendum, which would have disenfranchised nearly half of
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Virginia voters. So they clearly went against the constitutional amendment here,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: or not the constitutional amendment, but the Constitution of Virginia.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: The way they ran this through. And I remember talking
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: about this when this was going on, because Republicans were
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: making this attempt and that attempt, and you had this
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: court ruling and that court ruling, and it was going
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: to happen. It wasn't going to happen. And in the end,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: of course, it happened. And now Democrats are out there saying, well,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: the voters were spoken, uh so this so the you know,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: this gerrymandering map needs to stand. And then after the
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: after the the decision came out on Friday from the
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: Virginia the Supreme Court, the State of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: decided to take this to the Supreme Court. But one
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: of the problems is they misspelled the word Virginia b
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: I R G N I A in their in their
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: court filing and also misspelled the word senator. So that's
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: tough tough for them. Should we do a break first
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: here Joe and then gets Chris spin them all right,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: quick break and then Chris them and the Smith event
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: straight ahead on fifty five KRCV Talk station. Hi, it's
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: scary Sullivan if your home has that musty basement smell, lingering,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: mold or mildews seven fifteen on this Monday morning, Dan
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas, and he couldn't wait, picked up
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: the phone, called in early. And it's always great on
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: a Monday to welcome in Chris Smitherman too, the Smith
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: event on fifty five KRC and uh, mister former vice mayor,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: how are you this morning?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 11: I'm doing good, Dan, Thanks for having me on.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it as always. As always, I'll leave it
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: up to you. Where do you because there's once again
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: there is no shortage of topics to talk about. And
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: here we are again on a Monday morning for the
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Smith event. So I'll leave it up to you. Where
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: do you want to start this morning?
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 11: I want to start with murder. I mean, we've got
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 11: someone murdered in the core of Cincinnati, right on our square.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 11: This is the third shooting in one in the court.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: We're talking about in any downtown, but in Cincinnati, our
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 11: Fountain Square is ground zero. It is our core. And
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 11: it remains to me shocking that the mayor, the nine
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 11: members of council do not have a plan. Dan Carroll,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 11: as we go into a hot summer, you and I
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 11: know that violence is going to continue to spike as
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 11: we push through the summer, Like this is just the beginning, right, So,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 11: whether it's cool, cold, hot, we now have people being
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 11: murdered in our downtown. I was listening, I've been listening
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 11: to your show, and think about, if you're the mayor
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 11: and members of council, what this does to businesses that
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 11: are in downtown. What does this do to conventions that
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 11: want to come to Cincinnati, people are sitting, and what
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 11: does it do to those who live in the suburbs
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 11: who just want to come in freak with downtown, go
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: to a reds or go to a football game, or
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 11: go to a bar. Whatever they want to do downtown,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 11: this doesn't help. And so I am just blown away
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 11: that it seems to me that over the last five
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 11: years that this council and this mayor have just allowed
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 11: our city to continue to deteriorate. And I'm talking on
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 11: every single level, whether we're talking about violent crime, whether
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 11: we're talking about what we say petty crime, whether it's infrastructure,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 11: whether it's the budget, whether it's the police department or
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 11: legal battles that the city is having. It just seems
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 11: like City Hall is wrapped into chaos. And every time
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 11: the mayor gets on the radio or gets on TV,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 11: he says, it's just our perception.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll, Well, and then I was I was looking
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: at the post that have to have Purvoll put out
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: following this latest murder in downtown Cincinnati on Fountain Square,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: and he writes that last night there was a homicide
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: at an establishment on Fountain Square. This is the central
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: hub of our city, the thousands of innocent residents use
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: every day. It's unacceptable, Chris Smithman. Again, we hear the
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: mayor saying this is unacceptable for tragedies like this to occur,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: and I took issue with the use of the word
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: unacceptable number one, and then tragedies number two. You got
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: when you've got a situation like this, and then you've
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: got guys who, for whatever reason, feel it's perfectly acceptable
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: to settle their differences with a gunplay and a place
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: like Fountain Square that to me is not a tragedy.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: This is criminal activity. So I think we need to
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: differentiate between the idea of a tragedy and a criminal activity.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: And then for the mayor to come out and say
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: this is unacceptable, well, how many times? How many times
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: can we go back and look at the public pronouncements
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: this mayor and see him use the phrase that this
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: is unacceptable? And I would say, well, that's fine, mister mayor,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: but what have you done about it? And what have
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: you done to change these circumstances? And I think the
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: results speak for themselves. I think we're at that point.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 11: Look, people listening to our show might say, former vice mayor,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 11: what would you do? Well, I was the vice mayor,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 11: I served under Mayor John Cranly. What did we do?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: Number one?
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 11: We had an immediate emergency meeting on something like this,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 11: and we're talking in less than twenty four hours. Dude,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 11: we would be on Fountain Square saying police proactive policing.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 11: We're going to double down our efforts. If you even
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 11: blink in downtown, we're going to have you arrested. And
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 11: we understood at that moment that our judges would support us.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 11: Right now, we have judges that aren't supporting our police
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 11: officers when they're doing arrest. They go in, they do,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 11: they have a gun, right, they do something really crazy,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 11: and our judges are letting them right out of the door, right,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 11: And that is scary stuff, meaning our judge races that
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 11: are coming up in November. I am sharing with everybody listening.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 11: Safety is a non partisan issue. It doesn't matter whether
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 11: you're a Democrat or Republican or an independent, whatever your
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 11: political persuasion is. We have to agree that all of
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 11: us deserve to be safe. We also have to agree
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 11: that our businesses should be able to operate. And what's
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 11: gonna happen is and I'm not picking on Jeff Ruby.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 11: I'm just saying this happened right outside his shop in
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 11: that area. You're gonna see one of those businesses. His
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 11: daughter is gonna one day say, Jeff Ruby's daughter who's
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 11: running the shop now is gonna say, you know what,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 11: I've got to move my business. It's coming dude. They're
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 11: gonna say, i gotta go over to Covington, or I've
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 11: got to go out into the county. I cannot take
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: this anymore. My patrons who are coming into Jeff Ruby's
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 11: should be able to go out to eat, walk out
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 11: of my business, go to their car without being jumped.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: We're not even hearing about the what we call the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 11: assaults that are happening downtown. You and I this morning
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 11: are just talking about murder, murder, murder in our downtown,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 11: and we hear nothing from the mayor. So my point is,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 11: if we had a mayor that had a good relationship
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 11: with law enforcement, they would be doing everything they could.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 11: But they're scared, Dan Carroll. They know that if they
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 11: go down on that square and they had an interaction
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 11: with one of these young people. This is the truth.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 11: They know that this mayor and this council will throw
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 11: them under the bus. They'll destroy their career, they'll destroy
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 11: their families, they'll be on CNN. Because the officer couldn't
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 11: tell the difference between a pellet gun, a pipe or
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 11: a real gun. It was pointed at our officer, the
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 11: officer fire took the light, and now all of a sudden,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 11: city council is turning their back on our officers. One
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 11: of the things that we're experiencing right now is officers
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 11: know that this mayor and discouncil they do not support them.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 11: That's where we are.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: Well, Chris Smithman, I sit here and I look at
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: a situation like this, and I wonder, what if we
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: had police officers who were able to look at a
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: couple of guys like this and then using their experience,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: using their training, using their ability to discern who may
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: be involved or who's likely to be involved in criminal
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: activity and who is not, maybe have walked up to
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: one of these individuals, maybe as to have spoken to
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: one of these individuals, maybe have found reason to have,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe dissuade them from the actions that they
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: were about to take. Maybe have found something minor that
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: would have led to them maybe finding the gun on
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: this individual and removing that weapon from this situation. What
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: if we had police officers in a police force across
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: the board that was not afraid, as you mentioned too,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: to take these kinds of steps. And I think there
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: was a time in Cincinnati when we had policing like that.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: But of course, you know the crowd that wants to
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: shout about racial profiling and you know all these other
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: politically correct ideas, they seem to have won the day
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: on this and again we see the results on a
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: daily basis. And you mentioned something that I brought up
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: earlier this morning, just the simple assaults that go on
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: people who get shot and don't get killed, these things.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: If all we did was talk about on the news
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: about who got beat up, who got mugged, who had
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: their car jacked, who got you know, money stolen from
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: them at the atm all, that sort of thing, that's
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: all the news would be. If we every single one
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: these things don't make the news because they they're so commonplace,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: they happen all the time. And even the shootings, some
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: of them where people get killed, they're in the news
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: cycle for twenty four hours and then we've moved on
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: because there's just so many of them. You can't remember
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: them all and you can't keep track of them all.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: And again, if that's all we talked about in the news,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: that's all the news would be.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 11: Well, you talk to property owners in o tyrs, giving
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 11: an example, their properties are sitting on the market longer.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 11: Their prices are being reduced because you can't find people
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 11: like you used to who want to live in downtown
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 11: because of the crime. This is going to continue to happen,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 11: Dan Carroll, Now I want to also say this, it's
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 11: interesting to Chief Fiji she was trying to pull together resources,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 11: including the governor, to come into our city and provide support.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 11: I am still waiting to hear this mayor and hear
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 11: this council accept unconditionally the support of Governor Mike DeWine's team.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 11: They want to come and help us in Cincinnati, but
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 11: we have a council, a consultant, and a mayor that
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 11: continued to refuse the help, and that is part of
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 11: the bloodshed. It would be different for me, Dan Carroll,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 11: if I saw a mayor and a council doing everything
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 11: they could possibly do. Coordination with the ATF, Coordination with
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: the Attorney General's office by taking them to federal court
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 11: if they have a gun when they're committing a crime,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 11: having the Prosecutor's office there, coordinating with our Hamilton County judges.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 11: This is what John Cranley and Christopher Smitheman did when
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 11: we were serving. We brought everybody together, thirty forty people
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 11: and said, listen, we've got to get rid of crime.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 11: We cannot allow this to happen. There's no plan, Dan Carroll,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 11: this is what I'm trying to articulate. This mayor is
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 11: traveling around trying to figure out where his next gig is.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 11: He's not worried about Cincinnati. And you have members of
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 11: council who are running for new positions because they're turned out.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 11: They don't care about what's going on in Cincinnati. We're
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 11: going to continue to see this level of crime, those
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 11: petty crimes, they're not even petty. But like a young
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 11: kid goes downtown, somebody busts their back window out. Hey,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 11: it's not even reported. The young person just drives back
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 11: home and mom and dad take care of the car,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 11: and then they tell the young person please don't go
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 11: back downtown. Stay out of the downtown is just too dangerous.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 11: If we do not turn this around, you're gonna see
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 11: businesses start to leave. And I'm talking places like Jeff Ruby.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 11: I believe you already see migration of Procter and Gamble
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: moving people out to their Masons, their Mason campus because
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 11: guess what their employees are saying. I don't feel safe.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: I live out in the suburbs. This place is closer.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 11: I'd rather go to the Mason campus. You're gonna continue
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 11: to see that kind of migration, Dan Carol, if we
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 11: do not fundamentally turn things around as it relates to
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 11: crime and safety. And it's one of the reasons I
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 11: continue to support the zak Ramaswami for governor. There must
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 11: be an adult at the state level. Independents who are
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 11: listening to me, please consider our safety when you're voting
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 11: for governor and don't sit on the sidelines when we
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 11: get in November and then moan and grown after the
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 11: election to say, old man, but veck Ramaswami. What happened
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 11: in the election. What happened was you didn't.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 6: Show up and vote.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 11: All right, we have got to show up and vote.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll, Chris, stay right there. We're going to get
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: to a quick break and then we'll continue on the
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: other side. On fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, Your Money,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: Your Community SHAREFFAX Credit Union UK station fifty five KRC,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: the Talk Station, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. It's Monday morning.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: That means it is the smither Vent and Chris we
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: This week we'll get to relive the downtown brawl that
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: put Cincinnati in the national news last summer. Seven people
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: charged with felonies from this brawl start a bench trial today.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: To your way of thinking, what's what's the best case
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: scenario for the outcome of the trial of these individuals
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: charged in this this melee, this mayhem that made Cincinnati
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: any national news. And if you remember every time you
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: turned on Fox News or CNN for months and months
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: and months, this video it seemed to be rolling constantly morning, noon,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: and night, and that again puts Cincinnati in a terrible spotlight.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 11: Well, all they will all be found guilty. There's video
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 11: watching them Like, how can you say you did you
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 11: didn't do that?
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 12: So they're gonna yeah, I can't say that's not me.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 12: We're gonna you know, the jury is going to see
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 12: this on video, right.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a bench trial, so it's going to be
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: in front of a judge. There's no jury, it says
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: the judge. Judge gets okay, the.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 11: Judge, but here, but here's going to be the key.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 11: Will the judge really hold them accountable for the bad behavior?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 11: I believe they'll be found guilty. But what will the
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 11: time look like? Right, and the time and the time
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 11: and the time should be very sore because anybody could
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 11: have been killed in that situation. Like the way they
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 11: were kicking people in the head, the way they were
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 11: body slamming people, the way they were knocking them out,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 11: anybody could have died. I think it was attempted murder.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 11: So at the end of the day, I believe they'll
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 11: all be found guilty. I'm waiting to see what will
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 11: the penalty be for beating people up in the middle
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 11: of downtown. Here's the other thing I want to say
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 11: to you. I want you to think about this, dude.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 11: I want you to think about Dan Carroll. Why in
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 11: Butler County don't we have these things happening. Why aren't
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 11: people getting shot out there petty crimes? You know why?
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 11: Because Sheriff Jones doesn't play. He tells you, if you
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 11: come here, I've got something for you. Right, we don't
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 11: have that in the city of Cincinnati. Criminals are smart.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 11: They go where they know they can get away with crimes.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 11: They're never going to go out int the Butler County
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 11: and mess around with Sheriff I remember when we were
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 11: talking about people who were O d and everybody thought
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 11: Sheriff Jones was crazy when he said, hey, you o
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 11: D over here. We're not putting Narcan out here. You're
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 11: on your own. Guess what od's dropped. People were not
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 11: going out there dying, but they're dying in the City
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 11: of Cincinnati. I'm not sure. I'm not sharing what the
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 11: right public policy is on the matter. I'm just telling
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 11: you the truth. Criminals do not play around with Sheriff
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 11: Jones in Butler County, and you and I know why,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 11: because if they go out there, those sheriffs are gonna
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 11: arrest you, They're gonna put you in jail, they're gonna
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 11: prosecute you, and you're gonna do some serious time. Dude.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 11: That's what's wrong with Hamilton County right now. That is
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 11: what's wrong with the City of Cincinnati. They know they
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 11: have a weak mayor a weak collective council that allows
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 11: criminals right to do what they want in the City
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 11: of Cincinnati. And it's only a matter of time before
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 11: a citizen with a concealed carry is walking downtown or
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 11: walking somewhere and one of these youth, one of these
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 11: people decide five of them are gonna jump somebody, and
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 11: somebody then ends up taking somebody's life because they know
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 11: right now that the that the mayor and the members
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 11: of council are not backing them up. Dan Carroll, we
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 11: have a criminal issue in our city and it is festering,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 11: and how do it gets the worst is going to
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 11: get well?
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: Chie Thiji alluded to that when she made some statements
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: during her tenure. But we'll see what happens with her.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: But you brought up Sheriff Jones and I had him
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: on my show one time and we were talking about
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: crime in Cincinnati, and he said, you know what if
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: they would bring me in there, I could. I could
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: go down there to Cincinnati for a couple of months
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: and get things squared away. And so I was thinking,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe we should look at the contract
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: of Iris Rolly and maybe apply that to Sheriff Jones
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: and have him come in. How great would that be
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: two CE a guy like Sheriff Jones walking around downtown
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: cincinnat here's what needs to be done. It'd be absolutely fantastic. Chris,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: we got to get to another quick break. Stay right
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: there and we'll continue on on fifty five KRC.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 8: The talk stays You're one stop for advertising called eight
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 8: four four eight four four B.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: The talk station fifty five KRC DE talk station Dan
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: Carrol for Brian Thomas talking with Chris Smithman. And it's
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: been the smith event and Chris Smithman once again we
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: have the specter of our friends from the West Side
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: who we're going to have to deal with. More work
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: going on with the Western Hills Viaduct. The city continues
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: to take a piecemeal approach to a bridge that was
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven declared functionally obsolete and reaching
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: the end of its useful life. So here we are
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: nearly twenty years later and we still have you know,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: we get the and then look, this is maintenance work
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: that's got to be done by Duke Energy. I understand that.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: But the approach to the Western Hills Vie, especially in
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: light of the sailing selling of the railroad, the six
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: billion dollar whatever is going on with that, that we
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: haven't really come up with a comprehensive plan. I'm looking
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: at the timeline here and we're talking about, you know,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: maybe beginning some phase work in twenty twenty eight and
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: completing demolition in twenty thirty two. That's six years. Hence
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: we're just talking about demolition work of the Western Hills Viaduct.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: It just seems to me that this stands out as
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: a glaring example of the inability for city Hall, even
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: though they have the resources necessary to get this done,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: not getting things done.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree with you. You know, I remember when
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 11: I was serving fighting for the Western Hills Viaduct and
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 11: the bridge, as you know, crumble, sometimes pieces of concrete
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 11: just fall. And I remember I was on the Ford
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 11: Council and I said, what is it going to take.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 11: It is going to take one of these pieces of
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 11: concrete going through a van and killing a family for
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 11: you guys to decide you want to do something about it.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 11: And you can go back and look at the motions
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 11: that I personally submitted, and part of it was defensive
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 11: and it was crazy, but I was I was demanding
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: that they put Nettie under the Western Hills Vidacts so
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: that our citizens on the West Side weren't killed because
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 11: of the inaction by by all of the leaders across
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 11: the state of Ohio, the county and and the city.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 11: And so yeah, it is a major problem and West
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 11: Siders have always deserved better, and I would I would
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 11: tell them, do you guys know how much regional GDP
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 11: comes across that bridge, and not just the west Siders
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 11: coming in there, but this is a major commerce commerce
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 11: coming across that bridge, And I just think there's just
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 11: a level of disrespect that comes from city hall, you know,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 11: from the west. I remember when we were hosting Vazek
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 11: Ramaswami at Jim and Jacks and there were people posting
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 11: up on my Twitter page are now x page saying
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 11: that Jim and Jackson wasn't in the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 11: I'm like, dude, you don't even know where fifty is
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 11: and where that Jim and Jackson is in the city
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 11: of Cincinnati. But it's just how disconnected I think sometimes
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 11: city Hall is. But Westsiders, you know, they bear some
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 11: of the brunt of this because their voter turnout isn't
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 11: what it needs to be. And so when you have
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 11: elections due and twenty five percent of your voters are
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 11: turning out, you get outcomes like this because it's like, oh,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 11: they really don't care or they're really happy about what's
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 11: going on. So my message to the West Side, where
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 11: a third of our citizens live in the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 11: It's time to show up and vote. You just can't
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 11: have Sailor Park right showing up and holding it down
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 11: and have places like Westwood and Priceville kind of like
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 11: kind of In the twenty percent five percent voter turnout,
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 11: seventy five percent of West Siders who are registered voters
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 11: are sitting on the sidelines, Dank Carroll, and that is
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 11: one of the reasons the Western Hills vida days where
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 11: it is they've got to show up. I went a
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 11: ninety percent turnout on the West Side at the November election,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 11: and watch what happens to the Western Hills viaa If
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 11: ninety percent of West Siders showed up, I guarantee you
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 11: all those timelines that you just put forth, they would
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 11: ramp up real fast.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good that's a good point. And we
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: talked all the time about voter turnout and how elections
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: have consequences and all the rest of it. You brought
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: up Vi vike Ramaswami, and I want to ask you
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: about that. I had a caller earlier this morning bring
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: up the issue of property taxes, and you know, this
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: caller is not happy with the constant increase in property taxes.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: VI vike Ramaswami has talked about rolling back property taxes
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: should he get into office, but hasn't offered a lot
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: of details around that. There are a lot of funding
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: issues and mainly schools and you know, fire and police
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: in some communities that are connected directly to property taxes.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: Do you have any insight to the property tax rollback
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: ideas that have been put forth by the vic Ramaswami.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 11: Well, one of those things is dealing with our older population, which,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 11: by the way, I'm creeping up into that age group
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 11: right now. So I used to go, man, you know, sixty,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 11: sixty five, seventy, like you know, I'm creeping towards that direction.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 11: But the reality of it is is that our citizens
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 11: who have paid property taxes for their entire life should
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 11: not be losing their homes because property taxes continue to rise.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 11: Guarantee you that is on his radar, meaning to make
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 11: sure that someone who has owned a home, they've raised
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 11: their children, Dan Carroll, and now their property taxes used
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: to be let's say, three thousand per year and they're
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: now seven thousand in a year. He's going to find
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 11: a way to freeze those those property taxes for those
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 11: citizens and make sure that they are able to keep
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 11: their homes and transfer those homes through a state planning
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 11: to their children. Still, the majority of our homes, for example,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 11: are the major assets that our American families have, and
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 11: so we've got to make sure that not only do
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 11: we keep those property values lower. I believe that this
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 11: is one of the things he's going to be doing,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 11: expanding the homestead laws in our state. The other thing
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 11: that we have to realize is that just making sure
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 11: that we hold our property taxes where they are, meaning
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 11: we don't have to keep increasing them. So he might say,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 11: over the next seven to eight years, we're going to
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 11: find a way to freeze property taxes. I would love that.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 11: I look at my own office building in the bond
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 11: Hill area, where you know, my property taxes used to
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 11: be twelve hundred dollars a year. They're now six They're
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 11: now six thousand a year. So the reality I don't
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 11: want to go to twelve thousand. If I had a
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 11: governor that found a way just to keep me where
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 11: I am over the next eight years, that would be
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 11: incredibly exciting to me. So I don't know all of
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: his specific things. But I can bet you, as a
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 11: business owner, he's going to focus in on property taxes.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 11: We're not going to be able to eliminate property taxes.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 11: I just don't think that's going to happen, right, I
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 11: don't think that's the reality of where we are. But
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 11: I do believe that we can freeze where we are
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 11: right and making sure that our citizens who are older
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 11: are protected so they're not losing their houses because they
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 11: can't afford to pay their property taxes. I think that's insane.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Chris, you got time to hang around for
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: one more segment? Yes, brother, all right, stay right there.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: We'll do that with Chris Smithman on fifty five KRC.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: The talk station.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 4: Prestige Interiors has been proving the way families come together.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: The talk station fifty five KRC, the talk station Dan
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas. We continue with the smith the
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: event and Chris, I know you've been working on a
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: petition that you've been trying to collect signatures for that
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: deals with the hiring and firing of the police and
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: fire chief in the city of Cincinnati. How do those
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: efforts go to get the signatures you need?
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 11: Well, brother, we will begin the collection this week. We
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 11: thought it was going to start next week last week,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 11: excuse me, but it will start this week. And I
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 11: can tell you that there's just tremendous energy around it.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 11: It's not going to be I have to tell you
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 11: a Christopher Smitherman initiative. I mean, it's going to take
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 11: a lot of citizens getting petitions, which is what we've
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 11: typically done, and they go to their families and get
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 11: them to sign. I will just say this, if someone
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 11: is signing our petition, here's what you've got to do.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 11: Your legal signature that matches the Board of Elections, your
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 11: address that matches the Board of Elections, and the current date.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 11: We don't want to lose signature. So when people are
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 11: signing the petition, they can't print Dan Carroll. They've got
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 11: to literally use their vers or match whatever that signature
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 11: is at the Board of Elections. Number two, you have
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 11: to be a city resident in order to circulate the petition.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 11: So to circulate it or sign it, you have to
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 11: be in those two positions. And we know that Jim
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 11: and Jacks on fifty will be one of many locations
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 11: where people can go and sign the petition. Dave Backer,
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 11: who's a westsider is saying we can have a petition
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 11: there and they will circulate. So there are businesses that
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 11: are reaching out to us that are saying, hey, we'll
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 11: have the petition available for city residents to sign. We
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 11: need seven thousand good signatures. We're focusing Dan Carroll on
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 11: the word good, So seven thousand good signatures. We don't
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 11: want to have to get fourteen thousand signatures or a
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 11: fifty percent of validity rate. I mean, we hope we
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 11: can get there with nine thousand signatures because it makes
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 11: our summer better, It makes it easier for everybody. So
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 11: we feel like the petition will be ready and on
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 11: the ground. Our printer is doing a great job RPI
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 11: on the west side of town. The Reller family, Uh,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 11: they're going to do a great job with rolling out
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 11: the petition. Let let me let me say this as
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 11: we as we go out and close. Brother, these elections,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 11: as we talk about, have consequences, and we just came
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 11: out of a mayor and city council race. I mean
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 11: November was the election. It feels like it was forever.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 12: It does it does, man, I mean there's little The
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 12: election was in November.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 11: Right, and we're we're facing some of the same issues
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 11: you and I on the radio talked about, and so
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 11: elections really have consequences, and I just don't want to
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 11: get to November of this year, Dan Carroll, and you
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 11: and I are talking on November the fifth or the sixth,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 11: saying I wish the voters had done something different. The
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 11: Democrat that is running for governor really concerns me. The
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 11: entire ticket concerns me because it's kind of the last place,
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 11: in my opinion, where we have the adults in the room,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 11: and I just do not want to surrender the state
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 11: right to what could be coming off of that ticket.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 11: And it's why I'm so fired up about Vivek Ramaswami
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 11: running because I know it is the last bastion, meaning Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 11: We've got to have somebody in that chair that takes
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 11: crime seriously right, So for example, you know, we could
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 11: have a governor. Levek says, listen, I see crime spiking.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 11: We're coming, dude, We're coming to Cincinnati with the State
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 11: Highway Patrol because we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 11: gonna start policing fifty and forty two. We're coming whether
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 11: you want us or not, and putting pressure on this
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 11: mayor to do the right thing. If not, man, the
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 11: bloodshed is going to continue to role, Dan Carrolyn, you
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 11: and I next week are the week after or the
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 11: week after, We'll still be talking about the same kind
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 11: of craziness that's happening in the city of Cincinnati. I'm
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 11: just disappointed that we don't have a a a an
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 11: electric that will say these things are real important. We
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 11: can't just have people down there saying we imagine the
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 11: police or we've got to defund our police. And this
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 11: is the result of that, Dan Carroll. It is really
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 11: really serious, and I've never seen anything like this in Cincinnati.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 11: We're on the we're on a pathway of Detroit, We're
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 11: on the pathway of Chicago. I'm feeling like we're looking
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 11: like Gossam City, right, And it makes me want to say, Governor,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 11: we need you to bring the National Guard in here
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 11: in order to make sure that places like events like
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 11: case of Cincinnati are the music festival, right, are they
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 11: gay Pride parade, that those things are safe for our
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 11: guests that are coming in. Because we have a mayor
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 11: and a council that don't know what they're doing.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: Well, they've got to be safe. And when you bring
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: up these issues, it makes me, especially when you talk
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: about the governor offering to help and supplement the Cincinnati
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: Police with help from the Ohio not the National Guard,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: but the Ohio State Control. And it reminds me of
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: an issue that was brought up relative to Chief Fiji,
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: that that City Hall would suggest that Chief Fiji somehow
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: rejected this help that was offered by the governor. And
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: if memory serves, that was the mayor who told the
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: governor said, look, thanks for the offer, but maybe we'll
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: do it one day a month or maybe one weekend
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: a month, it see. And and the the notion that
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: you're going to put that on Chief Fiji for turning
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: that down to me just again seems like just another
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: another you know, piece of this pie that when in
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: the big, you know, big scheme of things, doesn't make
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: any sense.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 11: Dan Carrol, you bring up such an excellent point, and
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 11: we can't say it enough that that that that the
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 11: chief wanted this and the mayor did not right, and
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 11: this is part of the conflict that ultimately I believe
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 11: had the city manager fire her because she was saying,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 11: I want these re sources, and he was saying, no,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 11: the coach won't. They don't know about the collaborative agreement.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 11: And he's the mayor, so whether he's listening to his
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 11: consultants or not, it's not up to me. He was saying,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 11: I am rejecting the governor's assistance, and it's not governor
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 11: might do mine or his criminal justice arm. It was
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 11: us saying, no, Dan, you cannot bring that up enough
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 11: because I think it's going to absolutely play into her
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 11: administrative hearing. She's requested an administrative hearing last week, and
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 11: by the way, the city has not gotten back to
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 11: Chief Fiji, so we're waiting for them to say yes,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 11: there will be an administrative hearing so you and I
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 11: can vet some of this craziness out because the mayor
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 11: kept telling us a law along the way. I don't
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 11: know anything about this. I really wasn't involved in the decision,
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 11: and we've heard Chief Fiji say he was in every
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 11: single meeting.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: All right with that, Chris smitheman, we will let you
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: go have a great Monday, my friend, and we'll be

• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, and uh, I'm glad you were able to
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: take a break from selling sheep this morning to join
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: us here on fifty five KRC. I hope everything went.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: Well anything for Dan Carroll, And yes, we are in
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: the middle of sheep sales, which is a big year
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: for us. You know, we don't sell for meat or wool.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 3: We sell to other sheep farmers, so you know, sheep
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: farmers know what to look for, and they are very picky,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: and they're very you know, they're they're sheep farmers, and
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 3: so so far, so good. But we got about well,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 3: we got a couple hundred more to go. So if
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: anyone wants to buy a sheep, contact me after the show.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Look, this is a great audience on
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC. I don't know how many are involved
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: in the sheep trade business, but Daniel Turner is the
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: is the go to guy for something like that. You
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: live in Virginia. What has the since Friday when the
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: Virginias and thank god, there's some sensible people on the
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: Virginia Supreme Court that overturned this whole jerrymandering nonsense and
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: really came out I think with a comprehensive ruling that
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: describes in depth how the Democrats in Virginia really just
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: ran rough shot over this whole process, tried to squeeze
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: in this this illegal thing against the constitution. How is
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: all this plan out over the weekend and into Monday
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: morning in your estimation in Virginia with the rejecting rejection
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: of this just naked, blatant power grab.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, It's definitely a blow to Virginia Democrats who were
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 3: starting to get a little bit, well, have been for
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 3: a while a little insane on how far they want
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 3: to push things in the state. For your audience, just
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 3: in case anyone's out there saying, well, what about Texas, right,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: or what about Florida, we have fifty states. Every state
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 3: has a different process for redistricting. Our state, by constitution,
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 3: allows it on the tenth year with a court appointed
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 3: or a court approved bipartisan committee that then does this
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 3: outside of the legislature, that then proposes it to the
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: courts itself. We have a very bipartisan, a very objective.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 3: So what the Democrats in Virginia, They're like, yeah, well,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: we don't like that constitution anymore, so we're just going
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 3: to change it. And we're not going to change it
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: by constitutional amendment. We're going to change it by a referendum.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 3: So you don't have to be a legal scholar to say, yeah,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 3: that's not really how it works. Right. You can't just
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 3: throw out the constitution because you have power for what
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 3: Texas is doing or even what California's doing. Their states
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 3: are different. Their legislature allows them to convene a special
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 3: legislative cycle and to redraw their maps. And you know,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 3: if people keep saying to me, well what about those states?
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 6: Quite frankly, I don't.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 3: Live in those states. I love Texas, don't get me wrong.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: They spend a lot of time there, But I don't
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 3: live in Texas. I don't care what the hell Texas does. Texas,
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 3: you do Texas. And if you're a Texan and you're
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 3: livid about what's happening in Texas, by golly, fight for Texas.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 3: But I'm a Virginian and I'm fighting for Virginia. So
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 3: it was great to see a court smacked on this effort.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 3: There's a proposal now that that state legislators are considering.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: This would be this would be a kicker.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 8: Dan.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 3: If this comes through, we will I'll have to come
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: back on the show so we can just admire the
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 3: hutzpah of these democrats. They are proposing a law that
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 3: will require all Supreme Court justices to retire at age
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 3: fifty four, which means, if it passes, every one of
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 3: them has to retire. They get to pick the new
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court and they'll do it all over again. And
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 3: you know what, fifty four, I say forty four. You
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: know what if you are if you are you know older,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: if you were born after Seinfeld, you are not allowed
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 3: to be in the Virginia Supreme Court. Let's just change
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 3: the damn rule every way possible, right, so that we
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: only get people who we want. But we're doing this,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: Remember to save democracy, right, we are doing this to
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 3: save democracy. The retirement age the same our Senate pro
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 3: temporary is eighty four years old. Oh my god, he
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 3: wants to pass the law that says fifty four year
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: old near to retire. You can't despise these people enough.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely unbelievable. And they want to get people in there
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: who've been indoctrinated in government schools their entire lives. And
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: you wonder why there's so much when it comes to
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: the left, there's so much emphasis put on early childhood
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: education because they want to get these kids into their
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: schools at the youngest age possible and indoctrinate them into
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: the leftist way of thinking about things. And then you know,
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: it's pretty smooth sailing if you've got people who have
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: been brainwashed their entire lives into thinking the same way
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: you do. So yeah, hutzpah is the right word, I
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: think when it comes to describing all that sort of thing.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: On another issue, when it comes to what's happening with Iran.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: When you look at the national coverage on this, it
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: pretty much begins and ends with gasoline prices, and I
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: think people are right to be concerned. I'm concerned about
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: gasoline prices. I recently just took it a little road
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: trip there, and I know how much money I spent
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: on gasoline, So gasoline prices are a legitimate concern. Where
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: do you see this going with the gasoline prices? You
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: and I have talked many times about the lack of
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: refining capacity that we have here in the United States,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: so I think that's a factor. I think it's great
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: that we are the number one oil producer in the
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: world right now, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: going to translate into lower gasoline prices as long as
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: we have what's going on with the straight of Horn moves.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 3: No, You're one hundred percent right, and I think our
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 3: gasoline prices have kind of found their balance at this point.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: They are way higher than I want, and I would
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 3: like to go back to the day of two dollars
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: and forty cents a gallon gas. I think we will,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 3: but I don't think there's this concern that we're going
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 3: to head towards two hundred dollars a barrel oil. We
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 3: haven't really had any any military action in quite some time.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 3: We're in this, in this awful stalemate, and and gas
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 3: has pretty much stayed consistently even so, once the straits
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 3: are open, and that's the magic word is once, once
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 3: the straits are open, I think gas prices will drop
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 3: pretty darn quickly following oil prices. But we're not there yet,
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 3: and I know the President's aware of that. I'm frustrated
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 3: by it. You know, I have to pay gas too.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 3: Back on the sheet finally have to buy diesel as well,
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 3: and diesel prices are are are awful. So this is
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 3: this is a drag on the economy, There's no doubt
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 3: about it. Despite the great jobs numbers, despite unemployment hanging
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 3: pretty pretty consistent, this is an overall drag on the economy.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 3: And so you know, hopefully we can and you know what, ultimately, Dan,
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 3: I think I think Arand knows that, and that's why
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 3: they are having this game of stalemate. They are hoping
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 3: to buy their time and do political damage because they
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 3: would much rather have Democrats in charge. Right least, I'm
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 3: Democrats were in charge. Joe Biden lifted their sanctions and
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 3: they were able to produce close to four million barrels
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 3: a day, and Barack Obama gave them one hundred billion
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: dollars in cash. So who the hell wouldn't want democrats. Heck,
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: if you're an illegal, you want Democrats in charge. Free healthcare,
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 3: free block homa tests, free abortions for all the kids. Right,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 3: everything was free. So of course people want democrats in charge.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: If you have a bad agenda, if you want free crap,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 3: if you want to dominate on the world, if you
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: want a bomb Israel, if you want to invade Ukraine,
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: you want Democrats back in charge. I guess Americans have
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 3: to ask who they would rather see around the country.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the large SS knows no bounds when it comes
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: to what can be sent out around the world. The
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: notion that the storage issue in Iran is going to
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: play a major factor here they export you know, three
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: point two four million barrels a day. They can't do
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: that now, So how close are they to getting to
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: the point where they can't pump any more oil and
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: then turning that oil back on is going to be
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: a major factor for them, because you know, when it
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: comes to taking oil out of the ground, apparently you
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: just can't turn a pump off and then turn it
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: back on right away, which is going to be a
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: major issue. And as I ask you that question, Daniel Turner,
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: I look at the clock and I realized we got
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: to get to a quick break. So mull that over
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: and we'll come back with your response to that after
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: this quick break. On fifty five KRCV.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 4: Talk station, Share Facts Credit Unions Community Shred Day is
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 4: happening Saturday, June sixth from ninety.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: Talks Station fifty five KRCV talk station, Dan Carroll for
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas eight eighteen. On this Monday morning, we continue
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: with Daniel Turner from the Power of the Future, and Daniel,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: we asked the question before we got to the break.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: Unless the Navy lifts this blockade a blockade, Iran is
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: not able to move oil and gas out of the country.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: How much of a factor on this is Is this
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: going to be to maybe not ending the war with
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: Iraq or I mean, I'm sorry Iran, but maybe moving
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: on to whatever step comes next, it.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 3: Will definitely hasten it. And one of the things your audience,
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 3: if they don't know this industry, should should be aware of.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 3: Oil and gas is not like a faucet. People compare
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 3: it to that. If you recall back during the initial
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 3: Ukraine invasion, when oil prices were way higher than they
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 3: are now, some thirty dollars a barrel higher. Congressional democrats
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 3: kept saying, we need oil companies to open up the spigots,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 3: we need them to turn on the valves. That's not
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 3: how it works. Right, When you drill for oil or
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 3: gas and your well is running, what comes out at
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 3: the rate it comes out is what comes out. You
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 3: can't increase it. You can turn it off. But these
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 3: are in harmony with nature. Meaning when you turn off
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 3: a valve, you are eating tremendous pressure underground, and that
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 3: pressure does a lot of damage to the well itself.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 3: So then when you go to turn it back on,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 3: it may not come out. It may have found other
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 3: other holes in the ground. It may have found other
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 3: other crevices and other fissures, and that well could be
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 3: damaged forever. There are whole industries in America. They are
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 3: cold workover rigs and workover industries that their whole job
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 3: is to refurbish once successful oil and gas wells. So
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: the reason why I bring all that up is that
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 3: if Iran is forced to and they have begun this
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 3: process already, they are forced to turn off their valves,
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 3: turn off their wells, They're not coming back on readily, right,
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 3: They're not turning off the hot water, waiting a couple
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 3: hours and putting it back on. If those wells are kept,
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 3: the damage that it does could be not irreparable, but
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 3: it could be years to get their industry back to
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 3: where it is. And if you're around eighty five ninety
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 3: ninety five percent of your GDP depends on this one industry. So,
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 3: as I said in the first part, they're playing a
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 3: game of chicken. They know that this death by a
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: thousand paper cuts is hurting the president politically because they
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 3: want Democrats in charge. For President Trump's also playing a
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 3: game of chicken because he knows if Iran gets to
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 3: this point of capping their wells, they're not coming back.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 3: And so I guess in the game of chicken is
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 3: who who balks first?
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was going to say. I think Trump
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: has a very clear understanding of what you just explained,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: and I think he sees this as a key element
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: into positioning the United States and having a successful outcome
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: of whatever happens with the RAM. I think the other
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: factor is, and something that you and I have talked
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: about before, is how Trump has positioned the United States
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: to out maneuver China when it comes to being when
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: it comes to energy dominance in a global sense. So
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: Trump heads to China on Wednesday, what's the what's the
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: as you look at Trump visiting China? What do you
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: see as the best case scenario? And is Trump in
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: a better position to have China acquiesce to whatever demands
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: he makes when he's there visiting with with g in China.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think he is, and everyone is well aware
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 3: of that. But in the case of China, President Trump
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 3: is not going to have the bravado that he does
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 3: with other countries, right because he recognizes China is our
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 3: number one threat and a legit threat. Right. The cyber attacks,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 3: the biological warfare, not just COVID, but but the amount
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 3: of times dozens of students we keep catching coming across
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 3: the border with bio weapons in their suitcase. You know,
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 3: great kids. Makes me question why we have any Chinese
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 3: students in this country at all. I mean, that's a
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: larger conversation. Some four hundred thousand kids are on a
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 3: student visas here. They're all Chinese nationals. No one is
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 3: here to study. They're all just here for sabotage and
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 3: to steal information. But we're playing this game of we're
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 3: doing this dance with China. President Trump is going to
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 3: China with the swagger that everyone understands, but he'll never
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 3: mention it. He'll say, g is a great ally. We
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 3: want to work together for great things. But who's your daddy? Right?
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 3: Trump controls their oil supply from Venezuela. Now Trump has
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 3: shut down their oil supply from Iran. We have enormous
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 3: tariffs on Chinese goods. We've moved whole sectors, including a
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 3: steel manufacturing back to the United States. There's a lot
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 3: of things happening that if you're the Chinese premiere, you
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 3: are nervous about, right, and China is ready to strike
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 3: a better deal for them because they're not going to
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 3: be able to suc staying this level of strict competition
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 3: from America. We could have been doing this for thirty
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 3: some odd years.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 3: All the China problems we have and we created because
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 3: of our own stupidity. So it's great to see an
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 3: American president stand up to China before the threat gets
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 3: unstand upable.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: That's a word, yeah, I guess it is. What do
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: you think z wants out of this?
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 3: He wants to tariffs lifted, that's for sure. He wants
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 3: his readily supply ready supply of oil and gas China
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 3: consumes I think it's sixteen seventeen million barrels a day,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 3: and they don't produce one, right, we produce We're a
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 3: net energy exporter at this point. China does not have
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 3: a domestic supply of oil. They are totally dependent on
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 3: the rest of the world. They're being choked right now
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 3: because even though they're like, well, we use electric vehicles,
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 3: but but your your cargo ships don't run on electric vehicles, right,
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 3: Your your large industry is not running on electric, on
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 3: batser wind or solar, so and all the products that
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 3: you need to make, I mean half the stuff we
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 3: buy is all made in China, and it's all made
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 3: from oil and gas and coal products. And they need
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 3: those fossil fuels desperately.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: You can't. You can't make solar panels and windmills without
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: fossil fuels. I think everybody, everybody exactly, that's an understanding
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: of Daniel Turner. Can you hang on for one more segment?
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: I'd be honest to all right, one more segment with
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: Daniel The talk station fifty five KRC, the talk Station.
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: I love Stevie Rayvaughn. I hate to have that music
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: turn off, but I love Daniel Turner even more.
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 3: So.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. I've replaced Stevie Rayvaughan
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: with you, Daniel Turner.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 3: That's thank you.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: Pretty some pretty strong endorsements right there. I love your website,
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: Power of the Future. I always find stuff there you
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: can't find anyplace else. And you've got a major report
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: called Manufactured Outrage. How the national environmental activists are spending
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: millions to elect Democrats, block data centers, and undermine Trump's
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: growth agenda. I if you would have asked me, I
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: would not have imagined that the environmental movement has that
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: kind of cache now, or has that kind of power,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: that they're able to mount a national campaign to try
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: and undermine what Trump is doing.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 3: No, but not around climate change. I think their climate
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 3: change narrative has kind of fizzled in the last couple
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 3: of years, you know, as none of their predictions have
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 3: come true, especially this last year, and at least here
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 3: on the East Coast, we had a really brutal winter,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 3: so it's kind of hard to believe that we're all
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 3: going to die from global warming when you have weeks
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 3: and weeks of negative temperatures. That ends the narrative. So
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 3: the climate people, though they are crafty and clever, they're
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 3: not going to give up their fight. So they've adapted
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 3: to a new tactic and now it's data centers. And
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 3: right off the bat, I want to say there's a
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 3: lot of concern around data centers. I get it. I'm
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 3: not saying we should build them everywhere, but we do
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 3: want it to point out that the manufactured outrage on
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 3: data centers. There's these that are popping up with coordinated
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 3: t shirts and signs and buses and going door to door.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 3: This is not your local neighbor who's just worried about
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 3: their view. This is the newest tactic of the environmental left.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 3: And not long ago they were trying to ban your
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 3: gas stove. Right, they've already done it in places like
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 3: New York and California. They were trying to ban your
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 3: gas leaf blower. We've done it here in Virginia. Yay,
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 3: no leaf blowers. We're going to save the planet, Dan,
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 3: no leaf blowers. Right. So they are always trying to
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 3: ban something, and their newest big one is data centers
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 3: because they realize these are going to be huge energy consumers.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 3: We're going to build more coal and natural gas and
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 3: nuclear facilit it needs to power them. And if you
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 3: hate the fossil fuel industry and you hate progress and technology,
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 3: data centers are the new source of your anger. So
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 3: oppose data centers all you want, be in favor of
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 3: them all you want, but just know that the national
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 3: movement around it is not organic, it's not authentic. It
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 3: is the same billionaire activists with a new cause. Just
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 3: don't be suckered by it.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think you just answered my next question.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: You say you talk about how they're spending millions to
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: engage in this activity and gum up the works at
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: least for as long as they possibly can until the
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: administration's change and then things politically turn their way. But
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: even with all the failures, one failure after another that
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: has mounted up for the environmental coups, as rush Limbaugh
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: used to call them, How is it that they are
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: still able to get these these millions and possibly hundreds
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 1: of millions in donations to support their evidence.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these are very well well financed, deepocketed individuals, and
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 3: there are whole foundations dedicated to this. You know, they
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 3: have combined, they have they played with around four billion
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 3: dollars a year annually and just operating revenue. This is
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 3: a business. We keep hearing about big oil, but there
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 3: is Big Green, and Big Green has a business model
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 3: and they have tens of thousands of employees and they
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 3: have annual shareholder meetings. Except they just have a cause.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 3: And like any other cause that you see come to
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 3: the surface. You know, ten years ago, who the hell
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 3: talked about transgender kids? And now you can't have any
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 3: conversation without someone saying something about where did that come from?
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 3: This isn't again, it's not organic, It didn't bubble up
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 3: from nowhere. There are people paying to have this shove
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 3: down your throat. Whether it's in the schools or in
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 3: your church or in your legislature. There are people who
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 3: put money behind this, and you know, the march against
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 3: against liberalism will never end. This is just their newest cause.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 3: And you know, whether it's Black Lives Matter or Occupy
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 3: Wall Street or no Kings, no Data Centers, that's all
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 3: the same bunch of morons. They just have different shirts
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 3: in their closet, right, and they're told today, you're putting
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 3: on the BLM T shirt, buddy, and okay, they put
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 3: on their mask, they grab their Molotov cocktail, and they
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 3: put on the right T shirt and they go to
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 3: the rally.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, it is amazing the insight that you have
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: on all these issues, and that is why I love
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: to have you on as a guest, and I can't
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: thank you enough for the time, especially here early in
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: the morning on the fifty five k RORCME Morning Show.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: If people want to find out more about you, Daniel Turner,
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: where do.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 6: They do that?
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 3: They can check us out a Powerthfuture dot com and Dan,
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 3: it's always great to be on whatever program you're on,
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 3: especially your own. So thanks brother for having me in.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Daniel Turner, thank you so much and we'll
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 1: be talking again soon. My friend, I always appreciate that. Hey,
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCV Talk Station eighty nine on this Monday morning,
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: Dan Carol for Brian Thomas. Jay is on the line.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 1: Jay has picked up the phone and wants the way
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: in this morning. And Jay, you're on fifty five krc
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: how's it going, hey man?
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 9: Pretty good?
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 6: Glad to hear you're on the air.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 8: I always loved the Brian Thomas show when Brian's in,
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 8: but always love it when you got some some great
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 8: backup posts and you guys do a fantastic job.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you're very kind. We appreciate it.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 8: We wanted to weigh in on all of the fraud,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 8: especially Medicaid. I'm going to give Brian and Joe credit
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 8: that it had to be five six years ago they
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 8: had American for Prosperity Donovan O'Neil on, and at that
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 8: time Americans for Prosperity did a FOIA lawsuit and was
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 8: able to obtain from CMS, the Federal Department of Medicaid
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 8: the annual report that's mandatory legislated by Congress to show
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 8: breakdown by state what level of improper payment let's just
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 8: say fraud. And and five six years ago they came
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 8: on the air and said Ohio was last place out
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 8: of fifty at a forty three point three percent improper
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 8: payment rate. Our super majority.
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: Hol hold on, hold on, hold on one second, Ohio
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: was in last place and had a fraudulent payment rate
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: of what did you say, forty three percent?
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 8: Forty three point three percent on a forty billion dollar
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 8: annual expense. And you'll see that in the Ohio budget.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 1: That was last place in the entire United States.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 8: Yes, so correct, and that was for five or six
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 8: years ago.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 9: They all knew this.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: That is nothing to write home about. Going out. Are
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: people stealing money? That's unbelievable.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 8: Let's just do an easy math. Let's say, let's just
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 8: say forty percent of forty billion is sixteen billion dollars,
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 8: all right now. Now, this happened during the Kasek administration
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 8: and during the kask administration. The Republicans at that time,
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 8: our representatives fought against it.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 3: And you go back in history and.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 8: See this because he took the deal that Obama was
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 8: laying out, which was called Medicaid expansion.
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 1: Just insert fraud.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 8: But the federal government said we'll just we'll pay for
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 8: it for the first three years. It's it's it's expanded,
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 8: lower the bar let everybody in and Kaseik took the deal.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 8: At the time, we had representatives that knew how to fight,
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 8: and they said, not so fast. That's not your call,
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 8: it's ours. It went to the Ohio Supreme Court, who
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 8: was liberal. They rolled in favor of case it because
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 8: they liked this idea, and since then we've had this
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 8: medicaid expansion. That's how it all started. Now, who was
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 8: in the kask administration at the time, the Wine and
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 8: Houston and Wine I think was the secretary or no,
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 8: he was the attorney general. In Houston I think was
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 8: Secretary of State. And so when DeWine ran for governor,
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 8: he was against this medicaid expansion until he got in
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 8: the office and then he saw how much money it
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 8: meant for Ohio. And Jennifer Gross was on the program.
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 8: She was on the now defunct Medicaid Oversight Committee explaining
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 8: how Ohio coffers, the state coffers get fat based on
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 8: Medicaid fraud. She explained that for every able body person
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 8: it goes on Medicaid in Ohio, Ohio gets incentivized financially
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 8: for that. That's why it's happening now he Faber was
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 8: on as he's running for Secretary no Attorney General, and
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 8: he said that he's going to fight this fraud seven
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 8: days a week, twice on Sunday. Do we have to
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 8: wait for Vivek Ramaswami to be sworn in in January?
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 8: He's still in the auditor role. I see Dave Yo
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 8: nibbling around the edges as Attorney General. He's doing a
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 8: little bit, recovering a little bit here and there, but
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 8: he looks like he's running for the tall grass to
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 8: get out of Ohio.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: Stepping down as Attorney general, go aheading to the price.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 8: Huh, I think that's he Yeah, that's called hitting the
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 8: ejection button before it gets any hotter. But he's still
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 8: getting a paycheck, and so is Favor and then Craig,
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 8: who is now moving to Secretary of State from the
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 8: treasurer office. He was the treasurer for all these years
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 8: for the what are we up to now seven years
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 8: of the Dwine administration? So how about you know they're
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 8: still getting a paycheck every two weeks. They're still in
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 8: the role. They're all talking about what they're going to
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 8: do when they get elected and when we rotate the
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 8: seats and everybody well you know on the I mean
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 8: their journey to governor, which is what this.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 6: Is all about.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: But Jay, I mean, you are doing a great job
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: of connecting the dots here, and I can tell you
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: you spent a lot of time fall I have not
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 1: followed this to the extent that you have, but it
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 1: is it is part and parcel of the same thing
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 1: that we have been dealing with for years now that
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: we get politicians and these administrations in there who know
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: that the fraud is happening, that this ripoff of government
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: money is going on undebated, they promised to do something
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: about it, and then what happens. Who gets purp blocked?
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 1: You know, is anyone ever held accountable? And the answer
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: is no, absolutely not.
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 8: And Central Committee needs to stand up and take their
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 8: fair share of the blame because they are the shepherds
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 8: hurting the sheep to keep putting these rhinos up. Who
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 8: did they back for They backed Faber, they backed the Wine,
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 8: they backed Houston, they backed Dave Ghost. We have so
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 8: many damaged Republican rhinos that this fraud deal is going
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 8: to come down on hard that it may be very costly.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 8: Whenever we get into the general election. John Houstead is
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 8: up to his eyeballs not in just medicaid fraud, but
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 8: also now in the first energy he is writing the script.
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 8: He is such a damaged candidate to go up against
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 8: Shared Brown that this might be the second time that
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 8: Mike the Wine hands Shared Brown a Senate see recalled
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 8: that the Wine lost his Senate seat to Shared Brown,
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 8: and now he put a weak candidate. You know, we
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 8: didn't get to vote Wine appointed Houstead, but.
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: Look, these are the cards that we've been dealt. And
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: the notion that Shared Brown gets back in office, gets
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: back in any sort of position of power, is something
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: that ought to be abhorrment abhorrent to anyone, and sometimes
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: you got to take the lesser of two evils. Jay.
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the insight on this and the call today,
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: but we got to get to a break them up
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 1: against clock. Thank you very much for that. Eight forty
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: five at fifty five KRCV talk station for eighty years
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 1: and we're heating a coolie. Fifty five krc the talk station,
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: eight forty nine, Dan Carroll till nine this morning, Glenn Beck.
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: After that I get to come in one more day
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas tomorrow, So I'm looking forward to that.
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 1: And if you have not been following, at least casually
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 1: the race in Los Angeles for mayor, you've been missing
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: out on some outstanding political theater, political entertainment. And it
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 1: is just such great fun to watch this guy, Spencer
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: Pratt out in Los Angeles, just having a great time
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: running for mayor, trolling Karen Bass, who is just just
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: showing herself to be beyond clueless. And I've got a
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 1: cut from her that that demonstrates that. But her campaign
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 1: put out a commercial and well, I don't know if
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: it's her campaign, but it's either it's either the labor
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 1: unions or one of the organizations that is trying to
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 1: get Karen Bass re elected. So they did what you
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 1: might call an attack ad on Spencer Pratt. But listen
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: to this attack ad that supporters of Karen Bass put
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: out trying to make Spencer Pratt look bad. And you
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: tell me it's it's it's a to my way of thinking,
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: it is a huge sling in a miss But you
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: decide for yourself, Joe, can we hear cut number one?
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 13: Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 13: for mayor. Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 13: new houses for unhoused neighbors, saying it's time for the
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 13: homeless to get help or get out. Pratt thinks LA
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 13: needs thousands more police officers rather than more social workers.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 13: And Republicans Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 13: less power, not more. LA is on the right track
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 13: and needs to stay the course. Vote no on Republicans
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 13: Spencer Pratt.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Spencer Pratt doesn't want to spend
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: taxpayer money on the homeless and the unhoused, wants to
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: dismantle the unhoused industrial complex and all these things that
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: are I mean, you can listen to these things and say, yeah,
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 1: I mean that sounds like a good idea. And of
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: course Karen Bass is in favor of all that kind
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: of stuff. So to my way of thinking, this is
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 1: a playolitical ad that just completely an attack ad of
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 1: all things that just completely misses the mark. Karen Bass
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: was on CNN over the weekend and she was kudos too.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: And I forget the young lady that was hosting this show,
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: but she was on CNN, and kudos to the host
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: of the show for taking her to task about the
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 1: wildfires that destroyed so many homes in Los Angeles, and
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 1: just listen to the way she responds to this. Joe,
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: can we hear cut number two? Please?
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 14: Another issue is your response to the deadly and devastating
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 14: fires in January. Your challengers have accused you of mismanaging
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 14: that response on a number of levels. Spencer Pratt personally
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 14: blamed you for his family losing their homes in those fires.
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 14: Are you responsible for what happened there and the mismanagement
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 14: that did occur in those fires and the response to them.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 15: Let me just say that, as the mayor of the city,
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 15: the buck stops with me. That it's very very clear
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 15: what was true of our city, but not just our city,
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 15: our region, our county, was that we were not prepared because,
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 15: let me just tell you, with climate change, we are
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 15: experiencing climate events that Los Angeles is not prepared for.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: So there's the mayor who says, on one hand, the
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 1: buck stops with me, but then talks about, well, you know,
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: the city, and then you've got the county, and you've
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: got the region, then you've got climate change. So yeah,
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 1: the buck stops would be but it's all this other stuff.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: It's all this other stuff that makes us unprepared to
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 1: deal with fires in a serious way. And that's the thing.
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt, he lost his home in those fires, and
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 1: I think he had a neighbor. You though, he did
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: have a neighbor that was killed in those fires as well.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 1: So this is a guy that is on missing mission
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 1: and he is doing everything he can, including just some
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 1: unbelieving I saw another. He's been putting these commercials out
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: that have been created by AI, and if you look
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 1: at him, there's no doubt that they're created by AI.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: But some of the commercials that he's put out have
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: just been absolutely outstanding. I saw another one this morning
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: that it's it's a good commercial, but unless it doesn't
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 1: really work on radio, So I don't know. I'll look
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: at it again and maybe if I think it's good enough,
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 1: I will I'll be able to use it tomorrow. So well,
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 1: I'll go home and get ready for that today and
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 1: I get to come back tomorrow morning and do it
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 1: all again. But in the meantime, that is it for me.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I know
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: Papas is going to be here. I sent him an
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 1: article that was written in The Federalist and it talks
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 1: about the notion that there are there is a growing
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 1: movement within the Republican Party to simply just let liberals
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 1: and just let the left have its way and just
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 1: burn the whole thing down and then maybe some new
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 1: conservative movement will arise out of that. Sounds very risky,
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: and I don't know that it's a great idea, but
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 1: we'll be kicking that around with PAPIs tomorrow. In the meantime,
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. Glenn beck Is next. Joe Strecker,
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 1: thank you for everything, and we will see you tomorrow
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC, the talk station
