  Speaker 1: Five o five. If give I have k r C
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the talk station SI.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Happy Monday, and that's the way the news goes.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the way the news goes, and sadly
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's kind of lousy news in this world. Anyway, try
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to have happy Monday. My name is Brian Thomas, host
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of this program, the fifty five KRC Morning Show. I'm
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: glad to be glad to see Joe Sstrekker, Wory Blogs
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: executive producer, Internet research guru. All right, great guy. Couldn't
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: do the show without Joe, and wouldn't see Ken Coober
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on the rundown without Joe Strekker coming up two hours
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: seven oh five with Ken Cober FLP President. Hey, do
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you realize they had a bunch of shootings over the weekend.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You know what, Joe, we need a marketing strategy. That's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: why we need a change of marketing strategy. According to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the survey of the residents of the City of Cincinnati,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we broke down last week. Yeah, it's just messaging. They
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: don't believe your own eyes. Don't believe what you read
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in the papers or what you don't read in the papers.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I just had to go in and talk to Joe
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Strekker this morning, because you know, I had a picture
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: here off sincey feed, which you know, I don't know
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: anything about it. It's a Facebook page. I'm looking at
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: another Facebook page called Cincinnati News. No Channel nine, no
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Channel twelve, no Fox nineteen, no CINCINNI inquire not a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: single word in what we have, at least traditionally relied
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: on in so far as getting our local news about
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the street takeover at Glenway and cles Warsaw. It's like, Joe,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: did you look around for an article on this, because
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I can't find anything. No, That's why I sent you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just a picture screen cap of the Sincy feed facebook page.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Team takeover in Cincinnati gone. Hell, yeah, went wrong. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was like two hundred people out there. Apparently shots were fired.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Apparently operative word of what I just said, because you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: know what, like Abraham Lincoln said, if you read it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: on the internet, it must be true. Well, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we traditionally had some local news reporting that would verify
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: or you know, confirm or say no, no no, the details
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: on that were wrong, you at least put some measure
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of faith. As biased as it might be that the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: local news, the traditional local news might have some word
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on it. Hear nothing. FOP President Ken Kober is going
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to talk about that. Apparently a ton of police and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: he even reported a lot of rorests. Just one of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the things going on in downtown cincinnative of the weekend.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Oh look, let me run through the headlines. One person
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: hospitalized for a gunshit wound to the head. Happened Sunday
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: evening a little after eight pm, sixteen hundred block of Mine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: One person hospitalized after shooting a Lower Price Hill seven
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: forty two pm yesterday, twenty one hundred block a Saint
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Michael Street. Fifteen year old boy killed in North Avenuel
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: shooting eight hundred block at Glenwood Avenue yesterday around midnight.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And one person injured after his shooting in Mount Airy.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: That one happened on Saturday. Oh well, it's okay. Then
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it was spread out over time, almost right before five
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: pm on Saturday. So there's your le your tragic headlines.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You think this has something to do with the warmer temperatures, Joe,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: we hit about eighty plus degrees yesterday. It's a little
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: foreshadowing of what we're going to face throughout the rest
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of the summer. Do we need a new message. Do
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we need new marketing. We got to convince people that
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they're not reading actual headlines on those I look, I'll
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: give Fox nineteen credit for the last headlines I just read.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Sadly nothing there about the street takeover in what was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: basically my old neighborhood growing up. Well, I mean, I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: live further down the street on Glee's Wars.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I'll fight.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Anyhow right there by Heart Pharmacy. I just remember when
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I was a little kid, the little Heart VW with
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the UH mortar and pestles sitting on top of it,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: delivering pharmaceuticals to our home back in the day. Anyhow,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: eighty two three top pound five fifty on AT and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: T phones. Again, that's FOP President can covert seven to five.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he want to talk about that, Christopher Smithman.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Of course, he'll probably bring that up to seven twenty
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: with the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for the vent the smither vent eighth five Go Monday
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Monday's Brian James Every Monday at eight oh five, How
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are oil gas electricity prices affecting your budget? And brace yourself.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You haven't seen the end of the increase in uh well,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: at least gasoline prices, and of course will ripple effect.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Diesel price is going through the roof. Your food is
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: going to be impacted by that? How long is the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: war going to last? As they start talking about hitting
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know, some real serious infrastr ructure targets. Donald Trump
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: threatened to hit the nuclear base, the Tehran power plants.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Again it was Tehran obviously depriving the civilian population of energy,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a humanitarian mess that will be most notably yes, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: then there retaliatory strikes. We find out iron Hey, they've
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: got some long long range missiles. Do you know that?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred mile missiles? And boy, that was kind
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of an eye opener, wasn't it. Where were those things parked?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: They obviously weren't on the top list the targets that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: when we went in, so it was thousands and thousands
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of military targets hit. Apparently the Iranian navy has been decimated.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: But look, lo and behold, they have some long range
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: missiles frightening the crap out of everybody, and they're promising
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to hit hard serious infrastructure. You think there's a global
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: price shock with the closure of the Straight of hor
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Movez or the significant closure anyway, imagine if you will,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the oil producing installations which have been largely from what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I hear, largely unscathed thus far. What do they say
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: about a caged animal or a cornered animal? You know
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're in your last act of desperation. Isn't that what
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you explore when people just completely lose it? Like let's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: say the Iranians are backed into a corner and they
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: see their lives fasting before their very eyes and the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: existence of their theocracy coming to a collapse. Oh my god,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: let's throw everything we've got at the rest of the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: world in an act of desperation to try to get
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: down to put the brakes on. Got a gin up
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: global anger against the whole conflict. Now, if you're the world,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: which side do you end up on? Is it those
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: pesky Americans going on their imperialism? Is that what's causing this?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Or is it the Iranians existence in the first place
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that has caused global instability since nineteen seventy nine. But
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: if they start blowing up all the in for a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: structure that provides gas and oil and everything else, Oh,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and parenthetically the other ripple effect fertilizers and talking six
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: nine months, hence the lack of fertilizers which were previously
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: coming through the Strait of Horror Moves and produced there
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in that region of the world, aren't going to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: out into the world to provide well fertilized fertilization for crops,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have a starvation problem down the road.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Ripple effects are profound, So would it not be you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the pesty Chinese and Russians in the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: middle of all this, where they end up. When do
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you call something a world war? Is it the twenty
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: nations who have announced their readiness to support the Strait
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of Horror moves and opening it up if we get
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the likes of you know, a handful of countries that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: have did stepped up and at least suggest that they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: would help. Australia, Bahrain in Canada, Chechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Lafia,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Lithuania and the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovnia, Sweden,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom condemning in these
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: strongest terms the attacks by Iran against unarmed civilian shipping vessels.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: They're struggling mightily with the problem that the Straight of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Horror moves has left them with. They hadn't have a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: contingency plan, I guess, to get there to keep their
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: power on. So if they collectively join in the struggle
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: against the Iranian shutting down the Straight of Horror moves,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and don't forget the terrorist groups, where do the Russians
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and the Chinese come down on that? I even saw
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: an article about the sort of the the quiet acknowledged
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: reality that Israel is a nuclear power. Yeah, they don't
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: advertise it too much, and sort of some sort of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes, quiet calm debate over whether or not
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they do. I think we can all just agree Israel's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: got a bomb. I don't know. This whole thing scares
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the hell out of me. I just I can't make
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: much sense out of it. But if everybody joins together
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: we get the straight of horn mooes open, it's gonna
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: settle a lot of problems. I guess I've just out
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: loud wondering what Iran has left. It was a while
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: there every day you'd read that the war's over, We've
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: beaten Iran, their military is decimated, and then blow and behold,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: another day passes, and now these even more threats, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: kind of making good on some of them, most notably
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that twenty five hundred mile missile that they shot. If
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you can solve the problem, makes sense of any of this,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: please give me a call. Five one, three, seven, four
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: top pound five fifty on eighteen and two thound skews
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the sort of jumbled mass of brain purds that was
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the first segment here in the fifty five KC Morning Show,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: as is typically the case of the five o'clock hour.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Not quite awake yet, but I see just the chaos
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: generally from city of Cincinnati across the globe. It never
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: seems to stop, does it. Oh? Can we just talk
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: about our brackets or something? Five point fifteen, don't go
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Away'd be right back. Fifty five KRC ed similar to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: distress that there was nothing reported on the street takeover
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that took place. I guess over Friday and Saturday. I'm
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: still sketchy on the details, said he wrote me on Saturday,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: or yesterday an email or one twenty pm yesterday. We
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: live in el Hi, just out of the CEA limits.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I understand there was an attempted streakovers takeover at Glenway
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and Cleeves Warsaw last night. I was anxious to learn
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: more details about it, but none of the TV station
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: had any mention of it on their eleven PM news
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: last night. Nothing from the inquiry either. Again, he wrote
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this Sunday. Maybe they run with skeleton crews on the weekends,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: he suspects, perhaps that's why they shove the weather down
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: our throats constantly. Just find it curious there's no mention
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of it at all. Hey, could it be that the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: local news is now in coordination with city managers officials
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and Iris Rolie and the uh oh Joe sitting Oh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: do you think I got it right? Joe's agreeing with
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: my conspiracy theory? Is it a conspiracy theory? If all
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the storms the stars seem to align, how is it
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that there's no local media outlets reporting on this? Two
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: hundred child teams reportedly widely. You got everybody in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: area is all freaked out about it. Apparently shots fired,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: got police involved. Nothing isn't it amazing? You just real quick, chuck,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: as I see you're there, I'm gonna get your call.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: In a world of social media, you can report on this.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: In a world of social media, you can put a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: post up on Facebook, you can take video of the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: scene unfolding and let the world know about it. If
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we didn't live in a social media world, if we
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: didn't live with an Internet access world where there can
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: be citizen reporters, and think of all the stories we've
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: learned from citizen reporters that otherwise weren't discovered, but for
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: someone like you with an am video camera or their
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: cell phone letting the world know about it. Quite often,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it is then that local news will grab a hold
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of the story and then print it or refute the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: details reported by the citizen journalists. That makes sense too.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Gives them an opportunity to open up the story and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: look into the different avenues and answer questions that you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and I might be having nothing but we know it happened,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: we know the police showed up, we've got video of it,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and we've got Ken Kober coming to the program at
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: seven oh five to confirm or maybe refute what I'm saying.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Right now, Chuck, thanks for calling this morning and bearing
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: with me on that. Welcome to the show, no problems.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I got stuff on that too, but never mind. But
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: the list that you were saying, you know, Germany, all
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: that stuff, yes, that's behind us now, all the where's
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: all the ones that are right next to Iran.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Well they're they're busy trying to fend off the the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Iranian missiles are being launched into that, you know.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but none of them, you know, Saudry Arabia doesn't
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: have a maybe or whatever and all that. You know.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: That's what gets me is like, nobody else.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Is there except us?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yep, I know.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: And I'm a veteran, so so I understand that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate your service to our country. I appreciate
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your supporting the American veteran having been there man. But yeah,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of this doesn't make any sense, Chuck. To me,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's like, why aren't their local reporters talking about local
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: issues right here in the city of Cincinnati. Humm, I'm baffled.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm confused. I am well sort of beside myself with
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this belief this morning. Oh and I love this one.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You are aware we have a TSA problem going on
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: out there right widely reported. Of course, we have laguardi
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Is shut down because of a collision between a fire
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: truck and an airplane. Two pilots data on that one,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: but the TSA didn't shut that one down, although it
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: could have. Sean Duffy saying yesterday, this staffing crunch is
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: only gonna get worse we don't start funding the TSA agents.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: They haven't. They've gone on a paycheck for now a
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They said they're gonna quit or they're
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: not gonna show up. It's gonna get worse as we
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: get closer to Friday, when the next paycheck is due.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Starting salary about fifty grand a year, and Duffy pointed out, Listen,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: if you live in New York or Los Angeles or
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Miami and you're not getting a paycheck and you only
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: make I say only no disrespect to anybody's making that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: or less money. But when you don't live in an
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: area like that, maybe you can get away with making
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: fifty grand a year. But there no so it's obviously
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a real problem for them living paycheck to paycheck. I imagine
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: in very expensive cities like that. So it's gonna get worse.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Johnald Trump meanwhile saying that he will not sign any legislation.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I guess until the Democrats pass the Save America Act.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That complicates matters, because if he holds good on that one,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: what if they came out with a funding proposal they
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: settle this ridiculous shutdown brought to you by Chucky Schumer
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and the Democrats bringing about significant pain for the American people.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Why is he bringing about significant pain for the American people.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I guess it's because he wants illegal immigrants to be
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: treated more nicely by the ICE agents. Oh my god,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: we're all gonna die. Really, what's the Is this a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: failure of priorities? He asked rhetorically. I love this Democrat
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: represented Hakem Jeffreys on this TSA thing, because the Trump
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: administration is planning on putting ICE agents in there. Like
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: they're not trained to do TSA work. I would argue
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they're probably better trained than TSA. What do TSA agents do? Okay,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: not dissing the TSA agents, but as stuff, he pointed out,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are just sitting on stools, you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in that you can't re enter area of the airport.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You just sit there and you watch. If someone tries
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to go through the wrong way, you stop them and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: tell them no, there's no entry through. This not exactly
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: rocket science in terms of functionality. So I can see
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: ICE helping that, because if you're putting a warm body
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in a seat that otherwise was empty, causing backups and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: delays in the actual TSA screening lines, there's a problem.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And is it the TSA screening lines that require some
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: level of TSA training that ICE agents perhaps do not have.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen the manual. I don't know what they
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: learn in TSA school. But in so far as the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: idea of ICE agents generally speaking, stepping into the to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: fill the growing numbers of ICE agents who will either
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: quit or aren't showing up for their work, Democratic Representatives
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Entative Hajakeem Jeffries thinks it would risk lives. The last
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: thing that American people need are for untrained ICE agents
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to brutalize or in some instances kill them. Is that
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: article or does that argument wash with anyone? I mean
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: with a measure of sanity, I mean, if you know
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you're running on a forty five degree IQ. I can
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: see how that would might resonate with you. But for
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: him to say something like that is his primary argument
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: with a straight face. We can't have ice agents in
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: there because they're going to brutalize and kill people going
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: through an air airplane terminal. He thinks ice agents are
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: murderers in the purest sense of the world. Do accidents happen, yes,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Do certain ice agents make mistakes, yeah, But does that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: render them all incapable of performing this task? There's low
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: word anyway. Five twenty six Local Stories, which is a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: lot of death and murder and shooting and everything. He
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: she didn't get the memo I love to hear from
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you though, five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty D
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and eight two three talk found five fifty on AT
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and T phones. I'll eat right back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: This was your week.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: It's a new Fernado with frankly quite irked over that.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: If you can't tell Welcome to the morning show, Tom.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to hear from you. Happy Monday
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Twelve hours ago, I was I was hitting a little
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: like golf balls on a driving range, working up a
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: sweat and getting a little sunburned.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what what happens a great weekend for yard at work?
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, if you had grass to cut, I did it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I did, yes, and it needed it too. I couldn't
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: believe how thick it was, Tom, And I really was
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: like sort of even scratching my head of whether I
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: should even cut the grass, like, oh, what the heck,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: go go ahead and do it. As soon as I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: got into him, like whoa, yeah, I here.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: All the all the rain and snow that we've had
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: over the last is what month and a half? Have
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: two months? Yeah, that's that's the way it's gonna happen, Soss.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: It's gonna grow pretty quick.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: You know, being out of town, whether it's here for
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: work or wherever, Uh, I get to uh enjoy. And
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: I said, you know, for the most part, but when
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: we're just at the at the hotel or whatever, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: you know, we get a little cable. I don't have
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: cable at the house, so you know, we get to
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: when we're when we're all of downtime, we get to look,
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: you know, look through stuff that we don't normally get
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: to see. And and sometimes that's pretty good. But sometimes
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: it's not so good. So so I'm surfing through. Uh,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I think it was Saturday or something, and of course
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: it got you gotta go past the CNNs and the MS.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Was it M s now or something like that.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't watch it before the name
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: change time, so I didn't keep tracking where they landed
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: on the name change. So anyhow, well.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Whatever whatever, M S n b C is calling itself
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: now and you know, you hit a channel and you
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: and you just pause for a second or two to
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: see what it is, and and uh, and a banner
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: at the bottom of the screen is GOP pushes through
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Trump's voter suppression bill. That's the banner, right, So and
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: obviously they're referring to the Save America Act, right, So, like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: first of all, it's not Trump's bill. He's not the
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: one to put it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Behind it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, he supports it, obviously, but you know, he's
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: not the one that wrote the bill people, you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: and and then and then voters suppression bill. This is
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: this is this is a prime example of what's wrong
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: with leeds liberals. They lie. It's just absolutely flat out lie.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Like what you just talked about hiking Jefferies and the
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: whole U S A I thing. They are flat out liars.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: They will say whatever they have to say to get
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: people worked up, so that so that people will be
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: worked up.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: You've just identified the biggest problem we face as Americans.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: That a statement along the lines of what Haakim Jefferies
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: was made, which is the ice agents in acapacity as
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: tsa role fillers are going to kill you, that that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: actually works to gin people up, that it doesn't did.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: The response from the vast majority of not all the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: people is one hundred percent, you are out of your mind.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: That is a crock of crap. They don't want to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: kill you think they are the desirous of going in
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and killing people.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right and again, and it's cause and effect. It
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: gets people worked up into a frenzy.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Well, that's that's right. That's the problem with America. We're
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: so blank and dumb we believe something like that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Agreed, agreed, because we don't not enough people use common sense.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Just just stop a minute to think about what you're doing.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: So instead of following an ice agent around or a
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: group of ice agents around for a day or two
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: to try to block and get in the way of
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: what they're doing. Stop and think about what you're doing.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Save your own life.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Real quick time. And what are the ICE agents doing
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that, yeah, look, two people
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: have been killed, two American protesters were killed. Yeah, And
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: will there be accountability for that? I feel there will be.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: If there was something wrong, there redo process and maybe
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: they'll get prosecuted and go to jail. But what were
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they doing. They were enforcing the same immigration laws that
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have been on the book since back back for Bill
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: before Bill Clinton, Obama, the deporter in chief, deported more
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: people than Donald Trump has in his first term and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: this term together, under the same laws. Where was the outrage?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, It's just there was nothing at all.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: It's the same laws being enforced.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: So your media, including the local media, is your your
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: media is complicit in this? Yeah, because they will not
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: they will not put out correct information. They suppress information
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: that it would be helpful for people to learn and understand.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: And oh, wait a minute, I didn't realize that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: You know why you didn't realize that because they're telling
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: you that they don't want you to know, because they
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: want you to be all worked up and be misinformed
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: and be ignorant. That's that's how they want you to be,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: and so that's why you don't vote Democrat.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Have atay, Thanks Tom, appreciate it. Yeah, and going back
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to the local store. The lack of reporting on the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: street takeover at Glen Way and Claes Warsaw. If you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: don't talk about it, then it didn't happen, despite of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the fact there were hundreds of people actually involved in
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the street taker, but they could talk about it, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: all the residents standing around videotaping it there it is
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: look nothing. So maybe there is some media complicity, a
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: complicity with the well the argument that came after the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: survey out of downtown Cincinnati showing residents are dissatisfied with
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the administration on things like road repairs and oh yeah, crime,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: We need a better message. Maybe just not reporting on it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: If you don't read it, then it didn't happen. Five
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: point thirty six. Oh look there it is social media.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Don't care. See he talks stupid stories coming up? Were
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: your phone calls, which you know I love. Either way,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: we'll be right back.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC BE the talk station.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: That's about five forty here. If you've got KRCD talk
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: station or if you're having a decent Monday anyway, Fred
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk found five fifty on EHT and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: T phone and my submariner friend Mike Curbage. Mike just
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: reminded me that one of our regular callers, Bobby, always
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: likes to do an over and under on weekend shootings
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati. And you're right, Mike, uh, considering the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: number of shooting between us Friday through Sunday evening, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: winner of the bet was the over to Bobby's predictions. Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Sadly that appears to be the case, all right. Yeah,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: for those who like to travel, No, I'm not going
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about the TSA backlog, and I'm not going
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to talk about the lines at airports. U what might
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have happened in your hotel room? Some of the things
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I've been brought I brought up before. My wife and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I don't use the coffee makers at a hotel room,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and with good reason, don't really like to use anything
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: in a hotel room or I guess now airbnbs, although
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I don't recall ever renting. Oh no, we did rent
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: one out in San Francisco for a wedding, and I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: don't even want to think about what might have happened
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in that place anymore. But Florida, here we go. Sorry.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Florida woman arrested after allegedly film herself urinating on and
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: destroying more than five thousand dollars worth of household items
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: at two Airbnb rentals, and then posting the video of
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: her urinating on these items to sex sites for the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: purpose of making money.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Well, bear in mind, while the story is about her
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: antics sort of, the backstory is is probably even more disgusting, Like,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: for example, that some argument about ice agents wanting to
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: kill people at airports that they take over TSA. Yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: ignorance allows that site the type of a statement to actually,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you know, get traction or something. There are sites apparently
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that you can make money filming yourself urinating. People will
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: pay to see you do that. Yeah, well you can
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: call it that. I wish there was no flag for
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that one. Apparently, Joe. There's a lot of websites cooring
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to this report that offer that type of content on
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a fee for service kind of basis. Enter Nicolette Keo
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: tapping into that sad reality reported to police after the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Pensacola airbnb owner found the videos of this Nicolette Kyo
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: urinating on various objects objects including yeah, they're right up front,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the coffee maker, also toaster, typewriter, TV, rugged chairs, that's cold.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Police officer Mike Wood, speaking with the local news, there
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: was a young lady inside making money in a very
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: unusual way that damaged somebody else's property. There's a list
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: of items including a television, record player, coffee pot, some betting,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: some carpeting, I believe, and a rug channeling Big Lebowski.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Owner was tipped off to the airbnb up to the
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Airbnb app the guests urinating on multiple items interunits. The
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: rental owner then found the videos posted on what are
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: described as quote adult content website, although the specific website
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: was not reported. Joe, I imagine internet research career you are.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: You could probably find websites with this type of content.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I know you're not looking for it, and don't bother
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: doing it. I don't want you to run a fout.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: iHeartMedia rules. You just asked pappus what does that mean?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And yourself for this A little fun fact in detail,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the victim said the suspect left left behind a strong stench,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: as well as causing about well three nine and eighty
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: dollars the dollars damage to furniture in one unit, well
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and seventy four dollars in damage to the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: other impacted antique Crown royal chair, rug, typewriter, four dining chairs,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: coffee pot, bad TV record player, and electric fireplace, electric fireplace.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: What you immediately goes through my mind the idiots who
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: found themselves in well a tragic situation for urinating on
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the third trail, third rail of a subway line. Wouldn't
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that have been of great instant karma?
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Joe?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: If she's going around doing all this, filming herself with
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: this big excrement eating grin on her face, which it
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: was described she had, and she goes over well filming
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: herself urinating on an electric fireplace, that's the moment in
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: time when she met her demise to be a happy
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: ending to the story. I would argue, oh, that's a
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: different porn site. Oh yeah, I wasn't aware of that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: one either. Five forty five.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: There's no flag for us.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I just waited for that since I started talking about this. Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Rest assured you rent that hotel room. Just remember all
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the crazy people that were there before you. I know
• 29:37

• 30:24
  Speaker 1: man from Indiana accused of fatally stabbing his dad and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: critically injuring his mom during a violent domestic attack stemming
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: from an argument over changing the furnace temperature just a man.

• 30:44
  Speaker 1: two counts of domestic battery by means of a deadly weapon,
• 30:47

• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the attack on seventy four year old ORL. Whittaker and
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: his wife, his mom and dad. Mariyville Police Department news
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: release that officers were dispatched two o'clock in the morning
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Sunday to Hendrick Street. Carl reported that her and her
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: husband were being stabbed. When officer showed up, they encountered
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the suspect, later identified as as Jason Whittaker, idiot exiting
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the home with his hands up was taken into custody
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: without incident. Officers entered the residence rendered aid to the victims.

  Speaker 1: One victim taken to the Franciscan Health in Crown Point
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and stable but critical conditions. Second victim found deceased. Gordon
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the probable cause Affidavid. Incident started when Jason Whittaker's mom
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: asked him, not for the first time, to stop turning
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: off the furnace in the basement. His response was to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: violently attack. Her mom told police she was on the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: basement stairs when he struck her in the head with
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a cast iron skillet before stabbing her multiple times. That
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: seems a natural reaction to an argument of her temperature,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't sheoe. That's when his dad reportedly intervened on behalf
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: of his wife or l Whittaker's his name. His intervention

• 32:08
  Speaker 1: father multiple times, ultimately killing him. Momb told investigators when

• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the basement floor. Man pronounced dead at the scene. Death,
• 32:20

• 32:24
  Speaker 1: including multiple stab wounds and that fractured skull because well,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: he beat her over the head with a fry with
• 32:30

  Speaker 1: transport of stolen property. He's now facing a maximum years
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: at ten maximum ten years in prison if he's convicted.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Court to federal prosecutors used a perpetrating multiple scheme through
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the fraud wholesale product companies. They say Canolzius company name
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: an email signature block without permission so he could communicate
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: with other companies that would request produce. Tech Friday's Dave
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: HadAM comment on this when this coming Friday, while the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: shipments are on the way, he would divert the produce
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to a different location and never pay the victim companies.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Even an incident where he was accused of giving false
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: documents to the victim companies believed he had pre paid
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: for the produce anyway between the costs of the produce
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and transporting it. That's how it ended up with six
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars worth of stolen goods. Oh look another one.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: We're here in Ohio for this. We know. Joe, twenty
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: eight year old high school teacher you know where this
• 34:51

  Speaker 1: lurid texts. Jamella da booby, dabooby d abu ubi isn't

• 36:34
  Speaker 1: continued counseling, surrender of her teaching license in community service.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: As part of her plea deal, Dabooby most also register
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: as a sex offender. Okay, you dumb ass, Thank you, Joe.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: That's a perfect exclamation points. We go into the six
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour. It is five to fifty five right now.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Love to hear from if you've got something you want
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to talk about. Yes, and the war been the ripple
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: effects which are growing every moment in time. Lots going
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: on with the six o'clock hourah, six oh six. Here
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: at fifty five Paris talk station. Friends, I amost missquishing
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: everyone a very happy Monday, to the extent you can
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: make it one, give it a shot. Feel free to
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: give you a call this morning. Two five went three,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: two three taco with pound five fifty on AT and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: T phones coming up one hour from now. It's gonna
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: be great having him on the program. I always enjoy
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: hearing from FOP President ken Kober, But I'm just wildly
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: perplexed and sadly disappointed about, you know, basically going over
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to my old neighborhood. We're right there at Glenway Avenue
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: in Clee's Warsaw big street takeover. I guess it happened
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: on Friday night and the Saturday morning. Couple one hundred teens,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: but you know, donuts and all that kind of crap.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Apparently gunshots fired, multiple police vehicles deployed. I think was
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I'd read someplace, someplace I read it wasn't any of
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the local news. No, don't look today. I mean, go
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: ahead and look and just prove me wrong. I haven't
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: seen any reporting from Channel five nine to twelve or
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the Inquirer on this one or Fox nineteen. Nothing, not
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: a thing. Just Joe and I was kind of scratching
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: our head, wondering if there's like local media collusion with
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the leaders of the city of Cincinnati, just trying to
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to see here because we didn't report on it,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that social media has given
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: an avenue for all of us to be reporters. Anyhow,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: just well, well, anyway, we're going to talk to him.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: About that, but as well as the multiple shootings and
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: murders over the weekend. Just going through the headlines this morning,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Sunday a big day for shooting people in downtown Cincinnati,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: so we got that going on. So it's a perfect
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: opportunity to have Ken koberback on the program, and of
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: course segue to Christopher Smithman at seven to twenty. I
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: suspect he's gonna have a comment or two about the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: violence in the city. Monday Monday with Brian James Today's topics.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, there it is right on top. How oil,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: gas and electricity prices are affecting your budget and that
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: seems to be only going to get worse. Hate to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: have to be the bearer of bad news, but remember,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: at least as of right now, price of gas not
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: as bad as it was during the Biden administration. Well
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: that was COVID. Yeah, well, I'm going to say perhaps
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: not on that, And I guess I'm wondering where the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: global Greta Thunbergs of the world are right now. We're
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: paying more for gasoline because well the supplies have been interrupted.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's a global commodity. Isn't that a good thing?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Where are the people suggesting that this is See, this
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: is exactly why we need windmills and solar panels. We
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: can't rely on a steady supply of oil natural gas.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine I went to high
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: school with is an Australian resident, and she was yelling
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: by not yelling at me, but sending me nasty Facebook
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: messages because well, Donald Trump started this global conflict and
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Australia only has like a month or two worth of
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: reserve supplies of oil to keep their country going. I
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: was like, Mcministry Act and is you know this is
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: not something that you can unpackage in a couple of
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Facebook instant messages. Is one of the reasons I hate
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: text so much. It's like, are you kidding me? You
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: expect me to engage in a substantive conversation over your
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: sort of out of nowhere attack against Donald Trump on
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: this amazingly layered complex issues. But what I was going
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to do was gonna start with you know, listen, I
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: don't think it was a lawful war. I don't believe
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: he followed the appropriate constitutional obligation. You know, Congress is
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: supposed to declare war. Question whether they posed an immediate
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: threat those pesky Iranians that allowed us to launch a
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: unilateral attack invoking the War Powers resolution. Again, the clock
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: is ticking on that, so you have to go through
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: all that. So I'm of the position that initially I
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: don't think he had the authority to do this. Feel
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: free to argue amongst yourselves the genies out of the
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: bottle though we're in the middle of a conflict and
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing happens. What if the Iranians unilaterally
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: decided to close the Straight of Horror moves on the run,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: which they could obviously have done it any moment in time.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: They apparently have a lot of minds out there, and
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the ability to deploy minds even after they've gotten the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: crap blown out of them by the United States and
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the Israeli forces over the past three or four weeks.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: That could happen anytime. You think it's smart for your
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: country to only have thirty days worth of supply in
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: this ever changing, volatile world which we find ourselves. You're
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the ones that pursued global warming as a theory or
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: a concept that you thought you should be dealing with.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: You're the ones that tried to turn the spigot off.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I think they turned the spigot off of nuclear power
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: back in the late nineties. What point was that? Why
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: so you know that you only have thirty days or
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: a month supply left. I'm sorry, I guess you fall
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: into the category of sucks to be. You blame your
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: own people, your own elected officials, for chasing their tail
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: trying to rib the planet of carbon dioxide. I guess,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: because apparently you still need that stuff to function as
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: a country. Hmm. But I think the sadder tragic part
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: of this is, as I mentioned the last hour, it
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: seems to be to be at least I can guess,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I can opine, I can well fear eyes from a
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: sphincter inspired thought that Iran is starting to chuck more
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: missiles out into the world in a desperate well on
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: an act of desperation, because of course, they're like the
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: caged animal or the cornered animal that realizes it is
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: going to die and is going to really pretty much
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: do anything last gasp of you know, effort and hopefully.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I think they're hoping that the rest of the world,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like my Australian friend, will react and side on make
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: inside with the Iranians as opposed to the United States
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: and Israel. That seems logical. A lot of folks in
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the world that are not happy with this conflict. And
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: what's happening is a consequence of it. Right, the price
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: of oil has gone up, Global instability has resulted because
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: of a twenty mile stretch of water, and the Iranians
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: now talking about targeting desalination plants. And if you look
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: at how many people in the Arab world are relying
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: on desalination plants to get their fresh water, this could
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: be a I mean, epic catastrophic consequences. Some cave Mandani guy,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: he's an Iranian scientist, and u UN officials said the
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: desalination plants across the region could be hit within the
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: next few days. He's an Iranian person. Right, this on
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the heels of a direct response to Trump's seventy two
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: hour warning, right that the US would start hitting Iranian
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: power infrastructure unless the Strait of horror moves was open
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: forty two hours. I'm sorry, get in two days. That
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: was an announcement from yesterday. So TikTok on the clock
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: on that one. Right. Oh, if he's a redline guy,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I say you want to bud evil Orange man. If
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: he puts a deadline out there, he's usually pretty damn
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: good about making good on it. Oh my god, he's
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: just crazy enough to do it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: So if we start hitting the Iranian power grid and
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: they're successful at hitting the desalination plants, I think millions
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: of people could potentially die on that one. Again, given
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: the number of desalination I always want to put an
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: extra syllbol in that damn word desalination plants. And of
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: course the hitting of the Iranian power infrastructure lights out
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and iron well, that means the Iranians can't operate their
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: desalination plants. So that is a humanitarian target. And some
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: suggest that it is a violation of international law to
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: hit power grids or water infrat structure and things along
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: those lines. The civilians rely on those, and you can
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: think of all the innocent Iranians out there, and this
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: is a really complicating thing. What was Donald Trump hoping for? Well,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: if we just right wipe out the Iranian power structure,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: get rid of the evil Iotola and the ones surrounding him,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: and those in the infrastructure, get rid of the crazy
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Iranian police force. Basically the brown brown shirts of the
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the iatola going around and murdering their own people. Then
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the people will be able to rise up and conquer
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: whatever is left or reform a government in the aftermath.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: If you shut off their power, and you well take
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: away a critical source of life, that is fresh, potable water,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: how can they wage a struggle against in an effort
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: to rebuild. Wouldn't you suspect perhaps a logical response to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: that might be anger toward the Americans and the Israelis.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, they're fighting the evil regime, but
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: they also took away our power and our water. I
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: don't know that you make friends that way. I'm just
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: stream of consciousness this, folks, because you know, this whole
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: war has unfolded into a much much more complex reality
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: for the globe than I'm thinking even the Trump administration
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: might have even contemplated. And perhaps going back to my
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: part about congressional involvement, maybe these things could have been
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: flushed out a little bit more in the public. Maybe
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: these things were aware before it was all known to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration, before they started dropping bombs on Iran. Hey,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: what about that straight of horror moves? What about this?
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: What about that. What about these shutting off a twenty
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: percent of the global supply of oil for some period
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: of time. Have you factored that into the equation on
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: whether you can sell the war to people generally speaking,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: or if people can deal with the aftermath of that
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and will suck up the gas prices for a while
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: until the conflict is over, hopefully sooner rather than later.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Short attention span theatero on that gasoline is considering how
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: much we were paying previously in the name of getting
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: carbon dioxide out of the world. Nothing related to global conflict.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Just it's okay when the price goes up because of
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: what we do intentionally to ourselves. It's just a terrible
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: thing when it happens under the Trump administration or whatever.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: You can make more sense of it, Feel free give
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: me a shout. Five one three seven four nine fifty
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: five hundred eight hundred eight two to three talk pound
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones big check it
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: is six twenty one right now, iffy five K see
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: me talk station. I'm very very happy on data and
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: make it so. Five one three seven four nine fifty
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: five hundred eight hunderd tight two three talk pound five
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: fifty on eight and t phones. Okay, here's a perplexing reality.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I know you probably know by now that Trump has
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: issued in ultimat I mean, Democrats, you better pass the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. I'm not going to do anything until that.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: I guess, including fun DHS. If they came to a
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: resolution today, that would fly in the face of Donald
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Trump's claim he's not going to sign anything into law
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: until the Save America Acts passed. It's fine. I don't
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: think we should make any deal with the crazy country
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: destroying radical left Democrats in a lesson until the vote
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: with Republicans to pass to Save America Act said the
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: legislation far more important than anything else we are doing
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: in the Senate. So there's that. And remember why we
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: are currently in a shutdown, and I mentioned it previously.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: We're still operating under the same laws enshrined decades ago.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I guess they preceded Bill Clinton insofar as who can
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: legally be here and who cannot legally be here, who's
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: subject to deportation and who's not. And they're arguing over
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: ICE actually doing its job. Yes, a little heavy handed
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: at time, we can all acknowledge. And of course, the
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Trump administration has been backpedaling on the heavy handed nature.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: They've kind of pulled folks out of Apolis. I guess
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: they got the job done there then they get pulled out.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: But in any event, so some question about how heavy handed,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: you know, deport all illegal immigrants no longer the rallying,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Let's keep us focused on the criminal element. Nobody can
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: defend the criminal element, which some people suggest that's exactly
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: what the Democrats are doing. But again, all of this
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: is about laws that have been unchanged. Ice is not
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: doing anything that is inconsistent with the underlying laws. Just occasionally,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: when you're out doing a very difficult job and you're
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: confronted with protesters, bad things can happen and maybe they
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: need a little more training or something, don't know. But
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: the laws are still in place. But that's not what
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are arguing over. The Democrats are arguing about process.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: But with that.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Also against the Save America Act, the photo ID requirement,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: and it is you can't make this kind of stuff up.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: This is really funny. So pivoting over to Connecticut. Yes,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: it's a Democrat run state pretty heavily. So remember Democrats
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: are behind this anti Save Act thing. It's gonna just
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: enfranchise millions of people, right, just can't. When people make
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: that argument, can you just remind them that is not
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: legal for illegal immigrant or an immigrant who isn't a
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: citizen of the United States of America, otherwise a lawfully
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: naturalized citizen, you can't vote in federal elections period. It's
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: unlawful to do it. So if people are actually out
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: there doing it, even if it's ten that that proves
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: that it can be done. The Republicans are merely trying
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: to get a photo ID requirement in there so they
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: can't moving away. Connecticut Democrats just passed an anti fraud
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: law requiring bottle redemption centers to collect a copy of
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: a person's driver's license when they cash in more than
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: a thousand cans or bottles in one day. As a
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: consequence of an emergency certification. You got to hurry up
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: and do this. SB two ninety nine, introduced by Democratic
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: leaders and of course it's can. Of course, that's what
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: you get later past in both chambers late February, signed
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: by Democratic Governor Ed Lamont March third, requiring people who
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: wish to recycle aluminum cans for money to present a
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: copy of their driver's license put in place because the state.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Here we go, the state has issues with non residents
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: crossing its border to take advantage of the fact that
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: they pay ten cents a can instead of the five
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: cents and other states are paying. Wait a second, this
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: is border enforcement.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Isn't it.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, the photo ID requirements laughable enough for recycling, boy,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I guess recycling matters more than a federal election. But
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the idea that it's for the purpose of keeping people
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: from outside non Connecticut residents from taking advantage of the
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: generous ten cent per can recycling fee gift that keeps
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: on giving Democrats insanity. Six twenty five AIRCD talk station.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: I thought we got a couple of dollars online five
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: one three seven two three talk. Let's take West Saie, Jim, Jim,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I thought about you when I first saw the reporting
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: online but not in local news about the street takeover
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: right there one of your favorite places, right by price
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: El Chili and Heart Pharmacy at Glen Wayne Cleves, Warsaw.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Were you we participating in that one?
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Jim?
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Good here for me brother.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Yeah, I was a twelve thirty night Brian. I
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: was up there right in the middle of it, playing
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: some music and doing some doughnuts.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Good making that use of the Mustang with those big
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: U big headers you got.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: On that thing that and the soft tires.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, no problem, got your summer stickies on already.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: And hey, I've got a couple of questions though for you, Brian.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: I you know, I got up a little bit late
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: this morning, so I don't know you might have already
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: mentioned these items. This supposedly happened around the twelve thirty hour.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Don't we have a curfew?
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah? And didn't we? It's only, isn't it only?
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: In certain places that the curfew applied only to like
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: some areas of downtown and over the Rhine. It was
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: sort of and of course it isn't enforced selective enforcement,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: which generally means no enforcement at all. But I can't
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: definitively say whether the curfew applies at the intersection there
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: at glen Way and clues Warsaw.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: And didn't we spend like four hundred thousand dollars for
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: four kids on that curfew?
• 53:30
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the implementation costs were. But considering
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: that very few if Eddie teens have actually been arrested
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: for curfew violation. Yeah, whatever math, whatever math can be done,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the return on investment was a miserable one.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Well. Being a frequent visitor of Prisol Chili yesterday, excuse me,
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: I did hear that people park their cars in there
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: at night after the restaurant closes that live in a
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: neighborhood because it's got an open parking lot, and here
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: because the parking is a little tough on the street.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: So I understand that these utes were jumping all over
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: the cars, and I don't know how much damage they
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: did to them, but I understand that they were using
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: them as a I guess a trampoline or something. Simblin.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: But my biggest question is has the city leaders put
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: out a gag order to the local media.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. We were kind of speculating about
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: that in the five o'clock hour, because that's what I
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: opened with. Where in the hell's local reporting on a
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: blank and street takeover involving two hundred reported teams? And
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I say reported only because it's local. It's citizen reporters
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: like yourself that are out there with video cameras that
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: tell in the world what's going on because five nine twelve,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Fox nineteen and the Cincinnati enquire Mama the subject at
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: least as of this morning. Nothing.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: I looked all over for that too, couldn't find anything
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: except a picture that Corey Bowman actually sent me. Yeah,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: and that was that's kind of frightening when you're driving
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: down Glenway Avenue if you were I'm a home to
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: a let's say, a party or something late at night
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: and watching them and watching basketball, for God's sakes, and
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, two hundred kids are down in
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: the middle of the street. Yeah, And I was just
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: kind of curious about that.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I remain curious Westside, Jim, I remain curious. They did
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: report on multiple gunshots and that occurred over the weekend,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: but nothing about a massive street takeover by two hundred
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: plus teams.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: And there was there was no report of gunshots there
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: except for that picture that came out. I know.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: So it's just it's just not newsworthy, Jim, eat and
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: get the memo from the survey results from downtown Cincinna.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: What we need is a different message. People are confused.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: They think crime is a problem. Really isn't We need
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: better messaging from elected officials in the city of Cincinnati.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: That's all it is, Jim. There was no street takeover.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: According to the local news. It just didn't happen because
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: they didn't report on it.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: Well maybe, Brian, since they did read Kid Sun Say
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: Avenue Sunday that day, they figured we got enough news
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: over here for a while.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: They're done. That's after decades of waiting for it. You
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: finally got your roadary paved. We're packing it in. We're
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: gonna spend them more attention to the west side of
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati, right around the corner.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: So well, anyway, that's my questions, Brian, I appreciate the time.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I share your questions. I'm asking out loud, does anybody
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: have any explanation for a while, how that could possibly
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: be a wonderfully crazy newsworthy event. As terrible as it was,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: new event wasn't wonderful. But of all the things that
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: are justified or that can justify reporting on a local basis,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: I would think two hundred teens with a street takeover
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: and gunshots fired might make the list. Anyway, someplace six
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: thirty five right now, if you have KRCD talk station,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Bobby's on the phone, Bobby, hang on, get your call
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and come back. It's six thirty nine if you have
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: CARCD talk station. Happy Monday. FOP President Ken cob Or
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: joins a program at the top of the hour Days
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Too Yes, hopefully answer the questions about the street takeover
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: plus all the other multiple shootings and murders that happened
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: just over the weekend. Ken Cobra seven oh five, follow
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: by Christopher Smithman coming up at seven twenty and a meantime,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Bobby's on the phone, Bobby, thanks for holding. Welcome to
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the morning show. Hey, Mike called you out this morning,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Bobby because you did the over under on shootings over
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: the weekend, and he pointed out that the over's one
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: on your prediction. Welcome back to the show.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: Sir, Faith Flag family. And I didn't get a stand
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: down order of my friend.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: You didn't know, okay, who would issue a stand down
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: order to you? Bobby?
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think you'd do much much good, but
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: you know there's somebody out there that at least try too.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I'd acknowledge my wife probably has the standdown authority over me,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: and I would acknowledge that that's okay. I know where
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: my bread is buttered, so to speak.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: You're a smart man, oh I am.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I'm the most self deprecating human being on
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: the planet, except when it comes to my choice of
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: spouses and my tenacity and refusing to accept her no
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: when I asked her out for the first time. No
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: was not the answer I wanted. So I went back
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to the well and tried two more times, third times
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: a charm. And I've been living the uh uh, the
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: the just thoroughly enjoying my life since that moment in time.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I love you, hottie. I'm not an idiot.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, I got a question. Is it wins spring breaking Cincinnatio.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: Are they celebrating the last night that round up? Or
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: what are they doing?
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't even know what that means.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I got some hot news. It may not may
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: not hit the press, but Donald Trump is going to
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: put a bid in for Wall Street Journal. Why, I'll
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: tell you'd like that.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Don't mess with my favorite paper.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing too, And I thought about
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: the Street takeover last night, and I can think of
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: one reason why it's happening.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, they in Washington Park.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: They allocated a million and a half dollars has a
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: skateboard thing? Are they on time and material? Now? Is
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: it done? I mean, poor kids don't have anywhere to
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: go skateboarding, you know what.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I not the reason why we have a state street takeover,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: but I was questioning all morning and still question all
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: morning why the local news didn't even bother reporting on it,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: because it was pretty horrendous. Marcia has the answer. She
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: sent me an instant message this morning. They won't report
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: because they can't blame Trump for that one, although I
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: assure you they would try if they could. Even some
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: batcrap And the same connection between evil Orange Man and
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: the street take over there on Glenway, it's Donald Trump's fault.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I know, with spring break coming up and all
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: the events this summer and everything, we're just gonna have
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: to jack up the four and a half to hire
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: because it's going to be hot street takeovers this summer.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: My friend, I don't think they can control it.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: I don't either. Social media allize them all connect very
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: quickly and easily, and I just you know, Bobby, what's
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: behind the street taker? What's the point of it? Is
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: it justice? Just to do it? I mean, is there
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: some I don't know what enjoyment or benefit you get
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: from meeting there and just shutting down an entire area
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: so you can what stand around and say you shut
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: it down?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: The Partner of the Partner of Justice categorizes as in
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: the theholistic violent extreme ason.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, exactly what it is. And then there's no goal
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: or motivation behind it. Obviously they're not carrying placards or
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: signs or protesting ice or whatever. They're just doing it
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: for the sake of doing it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, no no ideology, no religious or not being. It's
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: just because they're out there.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Neolistic violent extreme MV. That's exactly how they categorize it.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Now is this to suggest? And I understand the label,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: but question are they themselves nihilists? Are they disengaging in
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: nihilists behavior even though they don't know what nihilism actually means.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's just a trigger effect. They they'd love
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: to just be out there. Where are the parents at
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: SOOS today? Why are they out there at twelve thirty
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: at ninth? Where's the law enforcement? Where's our city council members?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Well, first and foremost, where are the parents or the
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: guardians or whoever's supposed to be watching them because they
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: are juveniles, their miners. They shouldn't be out of the
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: middle of the night. Find they should be out in
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: the middle of night, curfew or not. Curfews are created
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: when parents aren't paying attention where their kids are and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: the kids go out and engage in violent behavior. So
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: let me guess, Bobby, there's an element in here that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm just overlooking, at least up until now when
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: it popped into my head. Just the simple idea that
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: lawlessness is gets a lot of clicks on social.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: Media, right, extremely correct.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just going back to the stack of stupid story
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Apparently videos of women urinating on property that's not theirs
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: gets a lot of clicks and earns these crazy people
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. Okay, a few illustrations that do
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: you evolution to society going on right here in the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show. Maybe you can come up
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: with your own illustration five one three seven fifty hundred
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: JAYZ Louise, feel like I'm rudderless this morning, but I'm
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: not readdless when I'm telling you fastened pro roofing. Are
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: the experts you should contact again to take the six
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: forty nine coming up at six fifty fifty above ker
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: CD Talk stage FOK President Ken Kober. They'll join the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: program at top of the hour. Now it's crazy and
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: it's going on in around downtown Cincinnati. Of course, I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: hope you don't have to fly. They'll TSA backup so
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: ICE agents may show up today and handle the uh well,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: all the TSA agents who quit the job or otherwise
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: aren't showing up. And the lack of funding that's the
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Democrats issue. They're wed to it. They don't want to
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: fund TSA and we're all living the pain as a
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: consequence of that. The economic reality I wish I heard
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: be the aviation expert Jay Rattle was around to calculate
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: somehow of the economic impact on the airlines you weep
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: if you will or not for the airlines, but of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: course the ripple effect for the economy as well. Spring
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: break travelers anger upset three plus hour weights airlines and
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: airports being shut down. This is incidental to the Laguardi Airport,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: which is shut down because of a collision on the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: on the tarmac there overnight. But I don't quite understand it.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: You know, in the background of all of this, why
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: do we have TSA agents? Oh, that's right. Nine to eleven, Hey, Joe,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't nine to eleven in a terrorist attack involving the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: takeover of airplanes and flying them into buildings and into
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: the ground, And you thought it was now inside job.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't get the memo on that one, but regardless
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: of the genesis of it, involved taking over airplanes and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: apparently a need to ratchet up security because people were
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: bringing dangerous items like shoe bombs on airplanes. So you
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: have TSA. And now we're in the middle of a
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: fight and war shooting war with Iran, the world's largest
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: state sponsor of terrorists. Right, and it was just yesterday.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: The US Department of State has issued a worldwide security
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: alert to be wary of threats from Iran linked groups.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Cord to the State Department released, the Department of State
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: advisors Americans worldwide that would be US included, by the way,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: and especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issue
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: by the nearest US embassy or consulate periodic airspace closures
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: may cause travel disruptions. US diplomatic facilities, including outside of
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the Middle East, have been targeted. Groups supportive of Iran
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: may target other US interests overseas or locations associated with
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: the with the United States and or Americans throughout the world.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: They'll be you and me. This on the heels of
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Iranian military spokesman General abol Fazil Shikarichi. That's close enough.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: That's the only effort I'm going to put into that.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: And over there, Abdul or Abola Fasil is probably mispronouncing
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: my name to the stud he's on on his radar. Anyway.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: He issued a chilling threat Friday, warning Tehran that terrorists
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: will now be targeting popular tourism havens as US and
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: Israel continued to attacks against Iran. That sounds me very loose.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: It could happen anywhere, could happen here, It could happen
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: on an airplane, and I sure as hell don't want
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: anything like that to happen. But if you're a Democrat
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: and you're sticking to your guns over the government shutdown,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: which relates to ice enforcing again laws that have been
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: on the books for decades, laws that were enforced under
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: various presidential administrations, Democrat and Republican and whatever George Bush was,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: they all were enforcing the same law. And remember Obama
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: was the deporter in chief, He's the He deported far
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: more than Donald Trump has to date. So we're fighting
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: over ice tactics. And again, if something terrible were to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: happen as a consequence of an airplane being taken over
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: or some terrorist bomb making it on an airplane because
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: the TSA wasn't there for want of TSA agents over
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: an immigration enforcement question, one of them may be successful.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: And if you were in that position and you shut
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: the entire well, the good chuck of government down. I
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: know DHS is just a portion of government, but considering
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: the critical TSA component that's going on in here, you
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: sleep yourself at night assuming you can make that causal
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: connection between this hypothetical terrorist attack using an airplane and
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: the lack of a TSA agent there, Things are a
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: bit chaotic at the airports right now. I wouldn't want
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: that blow on my hands. Nope, not at all. But
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: this is where we find ourselves today, all right, real quick,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: So FOP President kan Kober is going to talk about
• 1:07:37

• 1:08:33

• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Ken can comment on that since we don't have any
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: local reporting other than online reporting from well citizens in
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: the area, and thank god at least we have them

• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: lot of people getting shot over the weekend in downtown
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: since they is the problem violence or is it the
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: problem messaging, which was the message that we got from
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: the elected officials after the survey came out from residents
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: about their priorities and where they feel they've been left down. Ken,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: good to have you back on the show.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: Sir, Hey, good morning, Brian.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 8: Thanks for having me now.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 8: Pretty busy and pretty violent weekend in Cincinnati. I mean
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 8: there were several shootings every night, including a homicide of
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 8: a fifteen year old kid. And it's first warm weekend.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 8: As soon as you saw the forecast, just figured that
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 8: this was going to be exactly what it was.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: And isn't it a sad thing that you can just
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: pick as soon as the temperature gets more and people
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: are gonna get all murdery out there. What are they
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: waiting around for the temperatures and warm ups they can
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: go make good on their threats or whatever. I just
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: don't get this.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I just tell you, brother, I am just quite frustrated
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: this morning with everything's going on in the world. It's
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: like it feels like I'm overwhelmed, but this violence is inexcusable,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm want to pivot over to the whole street
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: takeover that took place on Glen WAYN in Clee's Warsaw.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: Are you aware of that, because if you look at
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: local news reporting, you wouldn't even know what happened.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Ken, Yeah, you know.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 8: Unfortunately, and this has become the reoccurring theme with these juveniles.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 8: Either you get a one hundred or two hundred juveniles
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 8: together in one place for no other reason than to
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 8: just to create chaos, you know, and what ends up
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 8: happening with this and thankfully it didn't happen this time,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 8: where you know, shots are being fired and before you know,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 8: some kids are shot and then parents are wondering.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, how did this happen? Well, it happened
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: because you don't know where your kids are.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 8: Yes, you let them run around, You let them just
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: create chaos until they get in the middle of such
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 8: a chaotic situation that somebody gets hurt seriously, and we
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 8: see it. You know, typically it happened out at the banks.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 8: You know, they'll they'll drop off two hundred kids done
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: at small park at eleven o'clock at night. And it's
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 8: the parents that are dropping these kids off. Oh really,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 8: it's not like they don't know what's going on. You know,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 8: a lot of these are young kids, twelve, thirteen, fourteen
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 8: years old, and it's just something that you know, until
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 8: these parents decide that they're going to be parents, this
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 8: is going to be the reoccurring theme all summer, oh.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: And on into the future. Then I think we'll have
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit more We're worry about the society into
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: the future than just this summer. Although that's the immediate
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: threat right now. I was unaware that parents were dropping
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: their young people off at these events. That that's a
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: new one on me.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: Ken. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a shame that we
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: see these things happen, but but we see at any
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: time there's a big event, they said summertime comes, it's
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: it'll be worse when summer gets here with kids, And
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: the fact that it's happening now in March is very,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: very troubling, and you know, I just cringe at the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: thought of what the summer is going to look like.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Well, and that it sounds like a bold statement. You're
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: very definitive on that it is going to get worse,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: not sort of, it might get worse, so we need
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: to worry about it getting worse. You're just convinced that
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: it's going to which isn't a great marketing effort for
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati because they have these events all
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: the time where people get together, you know, concerts, boarding events,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: and you know a lot of summertime activities that go on.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: I think of I mean going even into october Fest
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: and the fall everything. There's so many big events like this,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: and if we are guaranteed that this kind of thing
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: is going to happen, I imagine quite a few people
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: will decide, you know what, I'm not going to go
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: down there. It's not worth it.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, very well could happen. But I mean,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 8: you look at the consequences that the police have for
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 8: these kids. If it's only curfew, Well you have to
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 8: take them to a curfew center and they'll get them
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: some snacks, and they'll find out where their parents live
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 8: and they take them home. Those are the consequences right
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 8: now for kids being you know, out after curfew, you know,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 8: engaging in.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: This kind of behavior.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 8: But it's it's what the city's created, it's what they want,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 8: and the city is certainly delivering on their promise to
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 8: make sure that we don't do anything to these kids.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: And the end result is these kids are going to
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 8: get worse and worse.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, once they kicked the punishment phase out of
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: law enforcement, they took all the wind own of the sales.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: There's no longer an incentive to not break the law,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: I guess. And with so, I think social media is
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: part of the problem here, Ken, because apparently videos go
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: viral when you're out getting together with one hundred of
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: your friends and you're committing criminal acts. That's the kind
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: of thing people like to click on, and they all
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: think themselves sort of social media influencers because you know,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: one hundred people or one hundred thousand people decided to
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: click on their crazy video documenting their criminal activity. We've
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: just fallen off the map.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: Man, Yeah, yeah, And like I said, I mean you
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 8: look at some of these events us of one hundred
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 8: two hundred kids, the amount of resources that it takes
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 8: to corral these kids up and to calm this down.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: And meanwhile that's going on, you know the next namebor over,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 8: you know, somebody's being shot.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: So instead of the police actually focusing on, you know,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: working on you know, try to get violent, can you
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: know these violence under control? You know they're being pulled
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: away because you get two hundred kids that are getting
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: together acting just silly.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Well, let's move aside from just being silly to something
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: far more, potentially, far more nefarious. Can we all hear
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: about the idea that terrorists, if they commit a terrorist act,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: for example, they'll use a diversionary tactic to draw police
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: away from the area where their terrorist activity is going
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: to concern. So they're all busy, let's say, dealing with
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: a street takeover involving two hundred teams, then elsewhere because
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: the short resources police have, we're understaffed by how many
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: officers still Ken Cober, and.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: We're down about one hundred right now.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, you got a hundred fewer offices we would have
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: under a normal contingent, which may not even be sufficient
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: to deal with the criminal challenges that the city faces.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: They're busy with two hundred punks and a street takeover,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: and then something really nefarious happens across town. Coordinated perhaps,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it seems to me that with
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: social media, it's really easy to get a a bunch
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: of teenagers together just by one person perhaps coming out
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: and suggesting it, Hey, we're all going to meet over
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: at glen Wyn Clee's warsaw and take over the street tonight.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: I suppose some terrorist, nefarious actor could suggest that and
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: make it happen in order to bring about something more
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: devastating elsewhere just saying.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: No, no, you're absolutely right. You know, whether that's these kids'
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: intentions or not, it's a real threat that could happen,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: or you know, see somebody that even sees that this
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: is going to occur now and coordinated it. But take
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: advantage the fact that this is occurring and the police
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: resource are going to be here, So I'm.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 8: Going to do whatever I'm going to do on the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 8: other side of town. You're absolute right. It's a real
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 8: threat and these kids go. I don't think they really
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: think about these things when they do it. But that's
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 8: where parents are supposed to step in and be parents,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: know where their kids are to prevent some of these
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: things from happening.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Oh for one of parents out there that actually cares.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: You pointed out the outset and now this curfew. Someone
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: west side, Jim Keefer, brought up the idea that these
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: kids were violet curfew. Is there a curfew that applies
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: to that Glen Way Cleves Warsaw area or is that
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: only in areas like the banks downtown. I'm a little
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: confused on that one, Ken Cover.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: No, I mean there is a curfew that's that's city
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 8: wide for kids that are under eighteen. But the factor
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 8: remains is if they're just gathered there and they are
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 8: the sole thing that they're doing is violating curfew, the
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 8: police are not allowed to take them to jail. They
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 8: have to take them to one of these curfew centers.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 8: Like I said, we'll get them, We'll get them some
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: chips and a drink, and you know, by two o'clock
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 8: in the morning, hopefully we know where their parents are
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: and then we can drop them off there. It just
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 8: takes that, like I said, the punishment element out of
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 8: all this. So kids have no fear of getting stopped
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 8: for curfew. It's like a whatever, I understand, give me
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 8: back to my parents. I'll get a ride home. Yeah
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: this is actually great. I get stopped by the police,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 8: I get a free ride home.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: Good point. But you say the police are not allowed
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: to haul them into in process them for crime violation
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: of the or for a violation of the curfew. Is
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: that a policy or is the Is the law the
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: curfew law toothless just on its face? In other words,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: if there wasn't this police are not allowed policy in place,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: could the kids actually face some sort of repercussions at
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: least theoretically. I understand how lenient the judges are, but theoretically,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: if the judges were stronger on crime, could these kids
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: face some repercussions?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 8: They could because the laws haven't changed. The policy is
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 8: what's changed. That's that's the part. Is the policy has changed,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 8: not the law. So yeah, I mean, the twenty twenty
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 8: juvenile justice system has said we're not taking these kids
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 8: if it's curfew only we're not taking them, so figure
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 8: it out. I mean, you can have a policeman that
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 8: could show up there and they just we're not taking them.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: Good find their parents and just refuse them altogether. And
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 8: that's that's why we're in the situation we're in with
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 8: these kids in this county.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: Fact So the law says you can process them criminally,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: and the policy in the practice is no, we won't
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: do that. Can I ask you, is there a name
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: behind the person behind the policy, Like, is it Sheryl Long,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: is it Iris Rowley? Is it the police chief or
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: the interim police chief? As an occurrence, I mean, where
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: did this idea of criminal justice come from? Since the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: curfew law itself has not changed.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 8: Ken, Well, these are policies that have been set by
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 8: city hall, whether it's the Council of the city manager.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 8: They're the ones that determine that this is what we're
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 8: going to do.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: And if the chief does not abide and continues to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: pursue it as the law is written, then I suppose
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: the chief faces removal from office.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe we figured out what happened to police Chief
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Diji Ken. I don't know, Ken, Cobert, you have a
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: difficult job on your hands. I really appreciate you coming
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: on the Borning Show and talking to my listeners to
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: me about this, and we're left with a sad reality.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's all we can take away from this one.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: The policy, there's no accountability, and therefore there's no incentive
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: for parents to take care of what their children are doing,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: or for the kids even care about about the aftermath.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: And two guess local news isn't interested in even reporting
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: on a massive street takeover.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: No, you're absolutely right, And that's that's the hard part is,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: you know, between all the shootings that occurred, they're trying
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: to trying to fit how do we how do we
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: fit a story about two hundred kids, you know, running around,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: jumping on cars and acting foolish and answers. I guess
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: if we've got to prioritize violence, I guess, I guess.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: See the multiple shootings that occurred is what's gonna going
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: to get the attention, Not these kids.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the story about the gunshot wounded the head and
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: over the rhine, That story about the fifteen year old
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: boy killed in North Avenue, the person hospitalizing a shooting,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: lower price Hill just print those. You know. The The
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: problem is, ken I think you know it. The kids
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: that are involved in street takeovers and being generally lawless
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: and h you said, to create chaos. Those kids ultimately
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: become the people behind the triggers in these other instances.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 8: Oh with out of doubt, you know, they dit their
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 8: toe in the water, you know, and breaking the law
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 8: by doing silly stuff like this, you know, and then
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 8: of course it escalates further and further and further until
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 8: of course they're the one that's involved in gun violence,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 8: whether it's behind the behind a gun or the one
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 8: actually being shot.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Well on behalf of all my listeners, my executive producer
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: Joe Strekker, and myself, we truly appreciate the since a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: police department of the work that they're doing in spite
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: of the policies that you have to follow. As bad
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: as it is for our society generally speaking, we all
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: know where the blame is. And you know what, in fact,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: things like this I think are going to boost the
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: demand for police and the need for more police in neighborhoods.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll boost the cooperation between the citizenry and the
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: police department so we can catch the bad guys. I
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: don't know though, with parents dropping their children off for
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: these crazy activities, we may have been we're just maybe
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: maybe the horses escape the barn and it's too late.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Ken Kober, You're always welcome here in

  Speaker 3: And I just want to give a quick disclaimer. Man,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: I'm struggling with the brew a little bit, so I
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: don't have the same energy this morning, but I'm gonna
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give your listening audience the very best
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: that I have. First, I want to start off with
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: just say I just we're so honored to have an
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: FOP president that's willing to make himself available to you
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: on a regular basis so that we get a sense
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: of what is going on in Cincinnati real time. So
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: I just love hearing those hearing those interviews, and where
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: I want to start, Brian Thomas, is just having your
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: listening audience as they drive to work, you know, as
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: they sit at their desk and they listen to you,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: or they're in their home drinking, drinking their coffee. Let
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: me just go through a few incidents this weekend in Cincinnati,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: Hawaiian Terrace, a twelve year old who was shot in
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: the stomach in his home. He was shot Mail Black seventeen,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: Mail Black fifteen, Mail Black seventeen. Our police recovered the gun.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: Three young people below the age of eighteen opening fire,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: and one of those bullets went through the home where
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: the twelve year old was shot in the stomach. Before
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: I can go on to the other incident, I just
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: want everybody to think what that does to that twelve
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: year old's life, What that does to that family. They're
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: doing what they're supposed to do. They're at home, they
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: know where their child is. Briton Thomas, He's sitting right
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: in front of me. He's not in the street. It's
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: like the eleven year old who was shot on the
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: playground in the West End. That we hear Corey Bowman
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: talking about the eleven year old girl who was killed.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: She was on the playground doing what she was supposed to.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 8: Do, be a kid.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: This child is at home, they're not in the street,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: and they're shot in the stomach. Next incident, this was
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: on Reading Road. Suspect was reported discharging a firearm. Male
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: black nicknamed Taco, led the scene. This is right in
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: the heart of Avondale. Third shooting. This is on Saturday,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: eight sixty Glenwood Avenue. Mail Black killed right in their basement,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 3: shot multiple times, fatally. Right, suspect gone, but you've got
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: a dead person. This is on eight sixty Oak Street.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: Listen to this. Twelve shots fired. Mail Black thirty suffering
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: from a gunshot wound to the butt. Right then we
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: moved to Sunday. Right, we've got at eight o'clock at
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: night at the sixteen hundred block of Buying Street, and
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: this is what you're talking about. Found a victim gunshot
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: wound to the head. Walked over to a nearby Cincinnati
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: Fire Department. Located on West Liberty Street. The victim was
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 3: transported to UC Then we've got a fifteen year old
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: dead right in Avondale. This is on Sunday. Officers say
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: they were dispatched at twelve o'clock at night and this
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: young person, fifteen year old was shot dead. And then
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: just after seven thirty pm, twenty one hundred block Saint
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: Michael's Street officers arrived to location located a man on
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: the scene had suffered gunshot wounds. Two people remain at large.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: The bottom line here is this was one heck of
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: a weekend between Saturday and Sunday, and you and I
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: haven't even talked, yeah about the takeover in Price Hill,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: which I'm going to talk about, I.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: Figure, and with the warning about from ken Cover that
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: it's only going to get worse, not maybe it's going
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: to get.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: Going to get worse. So I just want to set
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: up my spleening event when we come back after the break.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: But we have to have the context for your listening audience,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: because the news isn't reporting what I'm seeing and sounds
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: like Gossam City. We have moved like Chicago in Cincinnati,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: and the underreporting from our news reporters out there. I'm
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: talking about all the stations collectively, right, is really a
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: valid when.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: I'm ey couldn't agree with you more. You certainly have
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: laid the foundation. Well, let Christopher unleash the smith event
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: coming after after the timing on this one couldn't be better, Yes,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: it may be. Fifty five carc Detalk Station Brian Thomas
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: and Christopher Smithman regular segment here on the fifty five
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: krsee morning show one that you can find on the
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: podcast page fifty five CARCA dot com. Christoph, you laid
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: the foundation. We got a lot of violence over the
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: weekend in downtown Cincinnati, some of which was reported, some
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: of which was not setting you up for the spleenevent
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: have out of my friend.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: Look man. The takeover of teenagers in Price Hill completely unacceptable.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: The number of officers that had to be dispatched to
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: deal with that and to have the news not even reported.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: It's just on the borderline of negligence but complete insanity.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: And these youths up there were fighting, They're jumping on vehicles.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: It was complete chaos in that area and it's terrifying.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: Our communities are one of our fifty two neighborhoods and
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: to act as if we don't. We have to have
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: a citizen like Jim Keeper who's bringing this to our attention.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: There's something they have because he lives there. This is
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: his neighborhood. He's saying, this is what's happening in my neighborhood,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: but I can't find it anywhere to be read. Look,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: white liberals, I want you to hear this. I'm going
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: to be so pointed. White liberals who are living in
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: the safety of their neighborhoods, who think they can tell me,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: a black man, what is best for my community. They
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: need to sit down and shut up. I am so
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: sick of hearing them run their mouths trying to lecture
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: people like me about what is in the best interest
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: of the Black American communities. Our communities are living and
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: the super majority of our families are law abiding CITs
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: innizens who are getting up every day to go to work,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: and we are sick and tired of seeing our baby
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: slaughtered every single weekend with no response from this incompetent mayor,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: this incompetent council, this incompetent administration. They're giving out evaluations
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: and saying that people are doing a great job while
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: our babies are being slaughtered in their homes, shot in
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: their stomach, shot in their heads. You can't even drive
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: down Reading Road and go by our recreation centers without
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: the fear of being shot in the street as you're
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: just trying to go to the University of Cincinnati to
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: do your job. I am sick and tired of these
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: white liberals who are voting and acting as if this
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: chaos is not happening in our community and thinking that
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: we can just open up a w rec center in
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: the middle of the afternoon and it's going to save somebody.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: We need law enforcement intervention now, that's what needs to
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: happen in Cincinnati. And if I am not blaming our
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati Police Department, I went President Kim kob to understand
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: that this is not on his legs, here on his lap.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: But if I have to write the federal government, if
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: I have to write the state and ask them to
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: bring in the National Guards because we can't stop the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: blood and murders in our streets, I will begin to
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: do it personally.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: Well. And here Ken the police are just following policies,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: notably when it comes to the teens and the enforcement
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: of the curfew. They're not allowed to enforce the curfew
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: by under the definition of the law, which carries with
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: it some criminal penalties. They're not allowed. Their hands have
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: been tied by the city administration. And of course takes
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: step two if you got rid of the policy from
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: the city that is forcing the police to well not
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: deal with them on a criminal level, but just pat
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: them on the back and send them home with mom
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: and dad with a cookie and a glass of juice.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: Even if they were allowed to process them and ticket
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: them and take them in and process them for criminal prosecution,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: we know the prosecutor's office wouldn't bother and if they
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: got in front of a judge, the judge would probably
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: chuck it out anyway.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: But what I'm tired of, Brian Thomas, are the white liberals,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, who are living in our neighborhoods, in safe environments,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: tucked away in Hyde Park and Mount Lookout Over in
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: the North Side, you know, getting together and talking about
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: these issues as if they know what the heck is
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: going on for a single black American trying to raise
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: a child and go to work. At the same time,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: we are frustrated about the lack of law enforcement response.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: Our first line of defense, Brian Thomas, is law enforcement,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: and they are being castrated by this mayor and this council.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: We are living in Gossam City in many of our pockets,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: and it's just a small group of African Americans right
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: who are acting out this criminal behavior that if we
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: allowed our police to do their job, they clean it up.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: That is why I'm staying publicly on your station. If
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: I have to write the federal government, if I have
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: to write the state before we get to this violent
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: summer and ask them for intervention, It's exactly what I'm
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: going to do. I'm not going to sit back and
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: continue to see young black families like the twelve year
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: olds we start in the stomach in his home. For
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: him to live in that terror and us not have
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: some type of response. He deserves better. The young girl
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: e eleven year old in the West End who was
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: murdered on the playground, she deserved better.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Yep, I was waiting for that one too. Pause, we're
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: and Christopher back. Let get the rest of his spleen
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: vent out this morning. First, I want to mention my
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: friends at Galaxy Concrete Coatings Station seven one fifty five
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: PARASG Talk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman. We get
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: the benefit of Christopher Smithment every Monday between seven and
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: twenty and the close of the seven o'clock hour, after
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: which we're gonna get money money Brian James, who will
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: talk about oil, gas and electricity prices of impacting your budget.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: Chocking no on Christopher Smithman. You have the floorback.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: Look, Brian, I've been listening on the federal level people
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: talk about Jim Crow two point zero, and I'm going
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: to tie together the violence that I just spoke about
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: and this subject matter. You have people like Senator Schumer,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: a Democrat, who continues to pimp out the black vote
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: by trying to emotionally charge us that having an ID
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: on its face is racist. It is not racist to
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: require someone who is voting in our election to produce identification.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: You're also trying to say that African Americans are stupid,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: that we don't walk around every day with an ID
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: the function in our society. So I don't know what
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: these people are talking about, but I can share with you.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know of anybody in my circle, and I
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: have a pretty broad circle that thinks it's a problem
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: to have an ID, But look how they spend the
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: time talking about that. But when I talk about the
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: violence that it's happening in the urban core, where our
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: most talented Black American youth who have nothing to do
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: with this violence are being shot in their homes, are
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: being shot at the bus stop, are being shot on
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: the street. Nine people shot at a function at a party, right,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: and a fifty thousand dollars bond given to someone who
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: shot nine people in a mass shooting. And then the
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: next day or the next weekend, you have a fight
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: at another function. But you hear no voice to this. Right,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: the leadership has you distracted about things about voter identification
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: that are not racist. The policies that are racist. Are
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: acting as if you care about Black Americans' lives. But
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: when it comes to providing safety and law enforcement, you
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: have Ken Kober telling us where a one hundred officers down.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: Who do you think that's going to impact? You think
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: that's going to impact Hyde Park, you think that's going
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: to impact Maw Lookout. Do you think that's going to
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: impact north Side or do you think are Clifton do
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: you or do you think that's going to end places
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: like Avondale Right. The reality of it is that African
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 3: Americans in Cincinnati deserve to be safe and go to school.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: We deserve to have school choice. Our children are locked
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: into these environments, and they deserve an opportunity to go
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: to Saint X if they want to, if they want
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: to go to Elder if they want to, if they
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: want to send their daughter to Seatan if they want to,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: as examples are Ursula. They deserve the same types of
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: opportunities that my family, an upper middle class family, deserves.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: My ability to pay for my daughter not to go
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: to one of these schools that are failing. The reality
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: is I can afford to buy her way out of
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: the craziness. But there's so many families that don't have
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: the same opportunity to do this. And I'm tired of
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: Democrats trying to distract us and have converse stations about
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: Jim Crow two point zero and voter IDs as if
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: we're stupid in the African American community and we're not
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: walking around with IDs. But when we ask them about
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: school choice or having the right number of officers to
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: keep our baby safe, they won't say anything to it.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: What we do is We'll fund an Irish Roley at
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: six hundred and fifty thousand dollars who I don't know
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: what she's doing, but will leave out a Hope Dudley,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: who is phenomenal. If we gave her six hundred and
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars, we would have a better response to
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: what's happening in the violence. I am sick and tired
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 3: of the elevation of the wrong leadership, Brian Thomas, when
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: it's so easy to find the right leadership in our
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: community to make it safe and better. Shame on the mayor,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: Shame on all nine members of council. Shame on this administration.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: We just came out of another bloody weekend. You've heard
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: Ken Cover, the president of the elfem P, said he's
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: looking for unfortunately more of this as the weather gets bad.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Shame on all of them. They will never hold a
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: press conference community and they will just pip out the
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 3: black vote for more Democratic votes as we go into
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: the May primary and as we go into the general election.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: And I'm sick of it.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Well I know, and I can hear it in your voice,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: and you and I've had any conversations about it. My
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: friend I hear it, you know, and I got to
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: make make a comment really quickly because last time I checked,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't get the benefit of so called white privilege
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: growing up. You are a black man who did grow
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: up in the city. Since now you did quite well
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: by yourself. You mentioned you're doing very well in terms
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: of your economic your ability to put your daughter and
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: your other children through schools of your choice. Christopher, I
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: want to just make a just a shout out to
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: your late father and your mother for instilling you important
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: values for themselves being individually successful in their own right
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: in spite of the challenges that they face, which were
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: far more significant than any challenge a black person facing
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: today's society. The benefit of having great parents who cared
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: about raising their children. To all those parents who would
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: drop their teenagers, their young teenagers off at a street
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: shutdown event, it's to them I'm speaking. They have the
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: ability to raise their children to be successful individuals. So
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: just had to get that out, Christopher, Yeah, I appreciate it.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: All I'll share with you is that, you know, my
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: parents who were born in the nineteen thirties, right when
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: racism were in the South. By the way in Montgomery, Alabama,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: and in Birmingham, Alabama, they were facing the Klan and
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: the Dixiecrats head on. Filling stations were being burned to
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 3: the ground, churches burned to the ground. They lived in
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: a different environment, but they loved this country and my
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: grandparents wanted better for them. They still sit my parents
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: out with beautiful clothes ironed tight, ready saying education is
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: our way out, high standards, fighting in wars, being a
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: part of the military. Like my father, who was an
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: officer in the military, in the army, he was a gunner.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: I remember when my father was dying, he just started
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: he broke out in his gunner song. It broke us
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: all out into tears as he was fighting for his life.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: My point to all of you is my father and
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: my mother loved this country and they fought for us
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: to have a better life. Nothing's perfect, nothing's perfect for women,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: nothing's perfect for Latinos or African Americans or by the way,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: Appalachian people in West Virginia. We live in a world
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: that's not perfect. But this is the greatest experiment of democracy,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: and that is why everybody is trying to come here
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: to the United States. And I wouldn't want to live
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: anywhere other than the United States of America period. I'm
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: not trying to go anywhere. And people who sit back
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: and say they want us to live like Cuba or Venezuela,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: they are absolutely off their rockers. My job as a
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: fire is to continue to work to make things better
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: for my family. That's the difference. I don't sit back
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: and play or hate on the billionaire. I want to
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: be the billionaire, and I want to position my children
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: to have the best education. And that is what my
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: father and what my mother wanted for their six children.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: The end of the day, the country isn't perfect, but
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: it's the best place in the world. And I don't
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 3: want to act like racism and sexism and those things
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: don't exist, but to act as if Iran is better,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: to act like Venezuela is better, to act like Cuba
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: is better or Colombia is better. Those liberal white people
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: that are in the street who are saying that are
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: insane and so all up there and completely insane. In conclusion, Listen, community,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: the violence over the weekend was catastrophic. We must support
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 3: our law enforcement and we must send a serious message
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: of a zero tolerance for this behavior, no matter race,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: no matter gender and no matter age. Thank you Brian
• 1:41:04

  Speaker 1: same morning show man we get to talk to every
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: Monday at this time. Money Monday's Brian James. He's with
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: all Worth Financial. He's a financial planner and he's gonna
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: shed some light on Let's start out with what's next.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: Ron has really impacted. It looks like the cost of everything.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: Brian James, Welcome back to the Morning show. It's always
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: great having you on the show.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 6: And a happy winter again.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: Apparently that was a rough walk in by polar Our
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: weather is bipolar, so just wait, just wait a minute,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: it'll change. Looking forward to summer this No, I'm not
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: after talking with Ken Kober this morning, the FOP president
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: who's just promised even more violence coming because it gets
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: warm out. Yeah, there's an excuse. Yeah anyway, or drag
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: you down that road, Brian James. Let us start with
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: you Iran war and the multiple the various areas it's
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: impacting us, beginning with discretionary spending. Price of gasoline has
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: gone up, if you haven't noticed, Brian, apparently more than
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: thirty two percent surge just in a few weeks. It
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: continues to go up, although I have to quickly point
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: out to all those pulling their hair out thinking this
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: is just the end of the world. Twenty twenty two,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: the national average and that includes you know, Ohio and
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: lower price gasoline states, five bucks was the national average,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: and it was pretty well into the fours up to
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: five almost the whole calendar year, So it wasn't that
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: long ago we were dealing with much more expensive gasoline prices.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: But this, of course the direct con consequence of going
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: to war with Iran, so starting there and had impact
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: on discretionary spending.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so, And I think the reason that this is
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 9: a little bit more impactful is because this is a
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 9: conscious decision that our leadership has made to enter into
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 9: this conflict. And it's not exactly rocket science to notice
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 9: that if you're gonna if you're going to enter into
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 9: a war, cause any kind of disruption the Middle East,
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 9: oil prices are going up.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, but I mean I have to point out,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: and I do it all the time. It's a conscious
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: decision to say we need to quit, we need to
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: get rid of our exhalation our plant food from the environment.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: And of course, when you implement laws and regulations, look
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: at California, for example, it didn't have to be five
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: dollars gasoline the norm out there. They did that to themselves.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: So you can have a war, or you can implement
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: policies that force the price of gas up. Sure, and
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: then that I think is the baseline.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 9: Right, It's always more expensive to buy gas in California
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 9: so what I'm seeing pictures of and I think these
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 9: are slightly one.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 6: So I don't want to say that this is the
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 6: this is reality.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 9: But I'm seeing seven and eight dollars a gallon prices
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 9: in certain spots of California. Is definitely not everywhere. And
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 9: I saw the states overrun, but everything has increased pretty
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 9: much proportionally. You know, they were already expensive, now they're
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 9: more expensive. Well, guess what, We're more expensive here in
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 9: Ohio too. I do remember, you know, I remember it
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 9: peaking close to five dollars around here. Five dollars is
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 9: always the boogeyman whenever that happens. We talk about five
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 9: dollars gas, and I don't think it happens all where
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 9: we ever get to that point where it really hits
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 9: five and stays there.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: To me, it's four.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 9: We hit four and sit there for a while. That's
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 9: when I know around here it's trickling through. And that's
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 9: what I'm seeing right now, of course.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: Well, and I of course remember four plus a lot
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: because I sadly had the pump premium into my car,
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: so there was a long period of time when I
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: was paying you know, four to twenty five to fifty
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: four dollars to fifty cents a gallon. I felt like
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: I lived in California.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 6: But yeah, why did I buy this car?
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: I know, don't be nice. I know, I know, I know.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: Don't get me started. We could talk a long time
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 6: I have, I have one.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: I get it. US Energy Information Administration's EIA gov is
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: where I got the annual figure from nineteen ninety three
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: all the way to this year in terms of the
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: average national average. So that's where that figure came from.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 9: Sure, sure, yeah, And I don't mean to question. I'm
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 9: just talking about the you know, just just the overall feeling. Yeah,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 9: remembering when people freak out, that's basically I'm on the
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 9: receiving end of that.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 6: Is when my phone rings and people were.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 9: Saying five, it's going to be five dollars, gonna be
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 9: five dollars. And I remember a couple instances, but yeah,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 9: my mind.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: It's for it's it definitely can tell it. There's like
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: a wind in the airs, like, oh my god, people
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: are pissed off. Oh, here it is. Here's the reason,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: which of course is going to the first thing to
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: go in anybody's budget except for a government's budget is
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: the quote unquote nice to have purchases, the discretionary spending,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: and that's a sizable part of the economy because I
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: would throw it into discretionary spending like for example, going
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: out to dinner.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 6: Oh for sure.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's going to cause the you know, the
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 9: the reduction in some other things. And that's why the
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 9: market has been freaking out a little bit and ironically why.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 6: It's up today.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 9: So futures and it's not all it's not believing, it's
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 9: not about what the market's going to do today. But
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 9: that's how we can we can get a feeling for
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 9: what is the overall opinion of what mood are we in.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 9: Futures are up one and a half to two percent.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 6: Look at at the right.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 9: It's crazy well, and I think it's driven by nothing
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 9: more than Trump making a few comments said maybe we're
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 9: going to back off here just a little bit. We're
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 9: maybe not going to attack the you know, the civilian
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 9: infrastructure sites, and so that the market instantly reacts and
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 9: it's looking for the end of the conflict. That's what
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 9: the market is always going to anticipate that this might
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 9: be the end. WEP, Nope, it's not, but maybe it's
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 9: this whatp Nope, that wasn't it either. Whooppe, Oh, here
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 9: it is. And the problem is, you know, that's that's
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 9: why we always encourage people not to try to time it.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 9: Sooner or later it's gonna get it right, but until then,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 9: there's going to be a heck of a lot of
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 9: head fakes. And that's where we're at right now. But regardless,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 9: that's not really what we're talking about today. We're talking
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 9: about the the overall impact of inflation on the pocketbook.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 9: And so, yes, there are concerns that if I got
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 9: to spend more at the gas pomp, I'm going to
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 9: eat out less. I'm going to you know, I'm going
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 9: to do all less less of these discretionary things. And
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 9: not to mention, this is also filtering through. This is
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 9: really what the headline is. It's filtering through to electricity,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 9: and that's not something.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 6: We get to choose.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: I can't decide.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 6: Hey guys, we're gonna use twenty percent less electricity this month.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 6: Buckle down.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was a topic we're going to get
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: to because I saw you have a separate article referring
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: to electricity builds are up six percent from last year,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: and I find that figure to be, well, in my world,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: a bit of an understatement, Brian. But before we get
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: over that, your wheelhouse, of course, this investment in retirement,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: the impact that this is going to have on our
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: investment and retirement funds, this global conflict we find ourselves in.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: I see nasdacs down what almost seven percent for the year. Well,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: unless today jumps two points, I don't know. SMP's down
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: about five for the year, and as well, the Dow
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: is down about five for the year. So clearly it's
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: whatever's out there is impacting our retirement plan for sure.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 6: And this is coming on the tail end too.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 9: There's a little bit of before the war started here,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 9: there was already kind of a little bit of suspicion
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 9: there kind of always is after we have a ridiculous
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 9: run up like we've had since twenty twenty two, where
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 9: we had some again headfakes along the way. We had
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 9: a panic about the tariffs back in April and the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 9: market went down almost twenty percent. That's almost a year
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 9: ago now, so April twenty five I'm referring to. And
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 9: then we got over that, we calmed down and moved
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 9: on as we as we normally do, and and cooler
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 9: heads will prevail.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: They always do.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 9: Nobody benefits from permanently sinking the world into a global conflict, right,
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 9: So I have to say that somebody is in President
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 9: Trump's ear saying, hey, you know, we do have midterms
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 9: this year and at some point where we're going to
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 9: need to make to show progress that this is this
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 9: is a goal, or that we do have some level
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 9: of restraint. We will make different decisions when the situation arises.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 9: That seems to be what has happened here, and the
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 9: market is reacting very quickly, but sooner or later, this
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 9: too shall pass and we'll get back to normal.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: Well, and I have to just interject the odd, strange
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: reality that we're all dealing with finally waking up to
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: the realization that twenty percent of the world's oil basically
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: gas oil and even fertilized nothing goes through that twenty
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: mile little tiny piece of waterway that Iran can disrupt.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: That it has been so devastating in such a short
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: period of time for so many countries in the world,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: you would think that maybe they might step up and say,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: you know, well, if there is something we can do
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: about that, straight to horror moves. Why don't we help
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: out and open it up. I mean, it's the world
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: against Iran right now, simply because of the economic reality
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: and pain they've brought on us. And I know that
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: we are partially culpable because we started the war, but
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have it it wasn't for Irani and terrorist's
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: discussion for another day, but it may change the dynamic
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 1: globally in so far as people's perceptions of getting the
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: straight of horror moos rack open.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's a lot of truth to that,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 9: because obviously they don't think it's rocket science there either
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 9: to say that that is definitely literally a bottleneck, quite
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 9: literally the definition of a bottleneck.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 6: So let's treat it with care.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 9: But at the same time, that does give a Ran
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 9: some leverage, as it has over the centuries, because they
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 9: have something that we that the rest of the world needs,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 9: and so they can use it to push their goals
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 9: as well.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 6: This kind of goes back to a little bit.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 9: I do wish that this administration perhaps had pushed its
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 9: goals with Europe a little differently, you know, could we
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 9: have maybe not treated it like it was a fight
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 9: in a high school playground and just kind of laid
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 9: down the lock. Here's what we're gonna contribute to NATO
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 9: and no more. And you guys need to pony up
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 9: the rest of you know what you committed to do
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 9: versus the approach we took, which was basically just to
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 9: pull the rug and take the.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 6: Ball and go home. Because now we're on the other
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 6: end of it. It would be very nice, as you.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 9: Said, if everybody would realize that the straight OH hormones
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 9: is important, not just the United States, everyone else. But
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 9: unfortunately we blew some political temple I think making headlines.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: Well, the point was well made. They need to be
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: responsible for their rooms for themselves, right, Okay.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's no argument with that whatsoever.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 9: But now when we could use their help, maybe we
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 9: could have taken a different tact, all.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: Right, pivoting over to one other area. This might impact
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: or might not as the case, maybe because I know
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: Jerome Powell doesn't have any idea because he's not he
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: can't read tea leaves and know what the future is.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: How this might impact mortgage rates. We were enjoying a
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: little bit of reprieve from the north of six percent
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: mortgage rates but that moment in time gone.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 9: Now right, well, potentially because hopefully we can get this
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 9: as all one way or another before this is permanent.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 9: So but of course we're seeing inflation obviously, and whenever
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 9: we choke off that bottleneck, then of course supply goes
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 9: down and the cost goes up, and then we get inflation.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 9: So mortgage rates are rising six point one percent on
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 9: a thirty year up to about six point four percent
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 9: just over the past couple of weeks. And again that's
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 9: coming from rising treasure yields and inflation expectations. This is
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 9: the market driving it, not fed policy. The Federal Reserve
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 9: did not raise rates. It's just the market pushing bonds
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 9: in a different direction that has that result. So and
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 9: this is coming directly from of course, we're seeing gas
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 9: prices up about twenty two percent in a month, four
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 9: bucks a gallon a lot of places, and a lot
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 9: more than that elsewhere. And again all coming back to
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 9: this this somewhat self inflicted chosen war here, not to
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 9: say it doesn't have a place, you know, in our
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 9: overall foreign policy, but at the end of the day,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 9: we can't pretend that it wasn't going to have an
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 9: impact all right, this shouldn't surprise anybody.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean you mentioned electricity earlier. I kind of
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: stop you from moving forward to it because I want
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about it. Because the
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: electricity jump has was was there before we invaded Iran.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've been struggling with the last couple of
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: months worth of electricity and gas bills, although gas is
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: such a fraction of my bill that I don't even
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: really look at it, but electricity has gone through the room.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: Is there a reason for that? Did they change the
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: way billing is done? Or is that what we're dealing
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: with because of oh, I don't know, global warming or
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: something more. With Brian James Money Monday coming up next
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: to eight sixteen right now if you have k CEDE
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: talk station the Events of the day, he's a vents
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: ed talk station. Brian Thomas with Brian James Money Monday.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: Is Brian James get some good information for him. Worried
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: about your financial future? That's why everybody should really get
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: a financial planner. I have one, and I'm glad I do.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: Taken the weight off my shoulders. Anyway, Pivoting over to
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: electric prices, I have no idea What in God's green
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: earth happened to my electric bill? There? Brian James. But
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: beginning with the first bill of the month I got
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: it in January, I think if I had to guess,
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: I would say it was at least one hundred, if
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: not more like one hundred and fifty bucks more than
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: the highest bill I ever got from Duke Energy. My
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: mouth literally fell open, like what the ever loving FCC
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: non compliant word came out of my mouth at the time,
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: and I thought, maybe this is just an abarition. But no,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: when the February's bill came or got it late February,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: same damn thing, almost identical. I just can't make heads
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: or tail out of it. A lot more than the
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: six percent increase which we apparently are experiencing on a
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: national average. What is with electric Brian James?
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 9: Well, I think the big headline behind this is the
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 9: things that we are building to support what we are becoming,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 9: and a lot of this is AI and data center.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 9: So data centers were maybe just a few years ago,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 9: probably about four percent of US power usage. Now they're
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 9: projected to reach up to ten to twelve percent by
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty eight, and so we're somewhere in the middle
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 9: of that now. And these individual AI facilities can consume
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 9: up to one hundred megawatts more than that, which doesn't
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 9: mean a lot to you know, just a number, but
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 9: that is basically all of Dayton, a couple of Hamilton's,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 9: maybe a middletown thrown in for good, for good measure,
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 9: that's how much electricity these larger facilities can consume. And
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 9: there are some of these things being built in the
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 9: state of Ohio, a lot of it, yeah, everywhere, and
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 9: so as a matter of fact, but what I'm also
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 9: seeing springing up is signs that say no data centers.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 6: Somehow that's proportional.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: It seems to be well, if the data centers brought
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: their own dam electricity with them and covered their own
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: you know nut, if I can use that term, then
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have a problem in fact, with small modular reactors.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: And everybody knows that I'm on that bandwagon. Streamline the
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: regulatory process, streamline the design process where one size literally
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: can fit all, like they have with our military ships.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: We could we could manage this. It's just it's going
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: to take time, and it's going to have to It's
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: going to take a change in mind over nuclear but
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: also a reduction in the regulatory burden that comes with it.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: It's going to.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 9: Take some courage in standing up to the profit centers
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 9: that that these that these things are because at the
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 9: end of the day, that that is what we have built.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 9: Over a quarter of a millennium, two hundred and fifty years,
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 9: we have been building a country that is the best
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 9: place in history to ever have built a business. That's
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 9: how we make decisions. We want to we tend to
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 9: want to remove we ebb and flow, but we tend
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 9: to face more make more decisions that are around deregulation
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 9: and allowing these things to happen. Therefore, there are no
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 9: rules in place to say if you want to suck
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 9: on the edge of the power grid this much, then
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 9: you can. You can pretty much do that, and there
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 9: isn't a whole lot standing in the way, which means
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 9: we need our political leadership, good, bad or indifferent to
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 9: stand up and say you know what, no, this is
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 9: going to be more expensive and expensive than you thought
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 9: it would. We have we do have rules, some rules
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 9: in place. So let's talk a little bit, Brian about
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 9: why why is this happening? Because you know, some people
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 9: out there going, well, how can they do this? Because
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 9: electricity rates are regulated, aren't they There has to be
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 9: an agreement from the state of Ohio for in PUCO
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 9: to make these decisions to change those rates.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 6: So some of that is cost recovery.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 9: You know that there's there's fuel in it, there's the
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 9: infrastructure to move the fuel, maintenance and operations and all
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 9: that kind of thing. But there's also utilities are allowed
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 9: to earn a set rate of return. So utilities are
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 9: somewhere between a public entity and a private private entity
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 9: because there is profit involved. However, they are supported and
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 9: we can't have you know, ten utilities impeding for business.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 9: You know, in terms of the generation, it's the distribution
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 9: side where they can do that. So the fuel costs
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 9: get passed through, the infrastructure spending gets all baked in,
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 9: and then of course we have demand growth just like
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 9: any other business. And then in capacity markets, utilities pay
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 9: for this backup power availability and those.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 6: Costs have surged a lot. Guess what that gets passed
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 6: through to consumers.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 9: So, yes, rates are regulated, but there's a lot of
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 9: other things built into that rate that are not.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: Well, let's pause. Bring Brian Jat back, because you know,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: one thing I find really, really, really important about my
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: financial planner relationship with me is because that person has
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: a fiduciary obligation to me, which must means that he
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: must keep my interest in the forefront of any decision making.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm a little concerned. Normally I'm not when we
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: get rid of rules, I'm a little concerned about this one.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: Brian's gonna explain this Biden error rule that's just been
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: pulled by the Department of Labor. That'll happen next, don't
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: cole Way fifty five KRC what Talk Station Hey twenty
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: nine fifty above KRC talks Asian Brian Times with Brian
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: James doing Money Money especial edition on the fifty five

  Speaker 1: Karssen Morning Show late in the day. But that's still welcome. Next,
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: on Yes, the chaos at the airports. We got LaGuardia
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: closed because of a collision, but we also have the
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: reality of the TSA agents aren't showing up because they're
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: not getting paid. Chocking no One. Pivoting back over to
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: Brian James and I like your sentiment on that little
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: plot you did about you know, trying to come to
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: some point where you actually start spending your money if
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: you've saved your entire life. I thought that was a
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: refreshing point to make there, Brian James, because you know,
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: spending money always freaks me out.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 9: So yeah, that's that's the west side of the conservative
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 9: west side coming out in.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 6: I have to fight it myself.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 9: But yeah, no, I'd say this all the time, but
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 9: I spend like ninety plus percent of the time sitting
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 9: at my table in my office with clients begging them
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 9: to spend their own money. It's my job to shine
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 9: a light on how how okay they actually are. And
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 9: most people are okay, but they won't allow themselves to
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 9: believe it. That's the same voice in the back of
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 9: their heads that put them in that position. But you
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 9: have to shout it down eventually live a fulfilling life.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, and my kids aren't listening because I
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: don't think they ever do. But just the whole idea,
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: if we ever get a grandchild, Brian James, you know,
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: we got a pile of money sitting out back waiting
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: to splurge on grandchildren. That's going to be a retirement
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: project for my wife and me. So someone better get
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: off the pot pivoting over. We got this.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 6: Fiduciary DT hint.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: I love the fiduciary obligation that my financial planner has
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: to me, Brian. I take confidence in that because there
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: are a lot of financial planners out there that don't
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: do a fee base thing. They go out and they
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: make money selling you things that might not be in
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: your best financial interest down the road, which means not
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: following a fiduciary obligation, looking out for their own pockets
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: as opposed to those that they're supposed to serve. So
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: what is with this Labor Department rule that has struck
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: down the advice that classify I'm sorry that financial professionals
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: and are fiduciaries on some level. What's with this?
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean, unfortunately, I think this is just political.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 9: So the word fiducial basically means, just for those who
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 9: may not be familiar, basically means that an advisor has
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 9: to be able to prove in a court of law
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 9: that any advice they gave or moves they made in
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 9: your portfolio that kind of thing, it was done for
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 9: your best interest and not for their So that's what
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 9: it means at a very high level, but a lot
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 9: of what is impacted by it is the fact that
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 9: if that's the case, then they can't get compensated based
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 9: off of you purchasing or not purchasing a certain product. So,
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 9: you know, commissioned IPEd things are usually kind of in
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 9: the crosshairs there.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So there was a rule came up.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 9: In the Biden era that basically was targeted directly at
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 9: four oh one K and retirement plan rollovers into iras
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 9: and basically was forcing people to forcing brokers, insurance agents,
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 9: and advisors, everybody to act as a fiduciary. In this case,
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 9: there's a difference between being a fiduciary advisor and being
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 9: a salesperson. Salespeople have nothing wrong with it, but it's
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 9: just a different environment. There are fewer rules versus if
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 9: you're a fiduciary, a lot more documentation, a lot more paperwork,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 9: those kinds of things, And this was going to force
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 9: the people who were only on the sales side of
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 9: this to start to act as a fiduciary. It was
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 9: in place, but it has now been struck down by
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 9: a federal court in Texas. Really taking care of it
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 9: before it truly ever took full effect. Now I can
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 9: say my firm put this in place years ago. We've
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 9: been a fiduciary twenty four to seven for as long
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 9: as we've existed, pretty much, and we actually put different
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 9: processes in place to document that we are having these
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 9: discussions and making sure people understand. And that's an extra
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 9: piece of paper you gotta sign when there's a rollover
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 9: mix and all this sort of stuff. So that has
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 9: been in any fiduciary really worth their salt. This was
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 9: never a thing because they probably told you on day one, Yes.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: This is what we are, and this is what we do.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 9: Here's our fees, and here's the services we provide, so
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 9: on and so forth. So for the ones who were
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 9: playing by the rules, it was just extra work to
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 9: begin with. For the ones who weren't, it was something
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 9: that they resisted. And like I said a little bit earlier,
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 9: we have put in place in this country the best
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 9: mechanism to be profitable and efficient. Ever, we lean toward
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 9: the side of business first. I think this fall under
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 9: that category, although I do believe consumers are now more
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 9: exposed than they were before this was struck down at
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 9: KRZ deep Tog Station.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been in the cockpit before? Yes, I
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: heard b the aviation expert Jay Ratliff had as many
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: times and we get the blessings to Jay Ratliff and
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: his aviation report every Thursday at a thirty here and
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: look at the five KRC morning show. And in those
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: times of need, he's willing to join us on short notice,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: which he was kind enough to do this morning to
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: talk about two things. First off, LaGuardia Airport and second
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: off the whole problem we have with TSA. Welcome back,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, Thank you so much for joining us late
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: in the game.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 7: Well, anytime you need me, you know that if I'm available, Yeah,
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 7: I'm here.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: Well that's a good qualification because you are in high demand.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: When it hits the fan, and of course let's start
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: with the Guardi Airport where it definitely has hit the fan.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: We had an Air Canada flight run into a fire
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: truck and it looks like the airplane lost the battle.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, what's going on here? What have we learned?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: I understand that two pilots are dead and looking at
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: the damage, that comes as no shock to me.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was an arriving Air Canada flight. It was
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 7: a regional jet, one of the Bombardier CRJA nine hundreds.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 7: It was landing just before midnight last night at LaGuardia,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 7: and as they were landing and slowing coming up towards
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 7: the end of the runway, they stowed some considerable speed
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 7: and the aircraft collided with fuel truck. Now, anytime you're
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 7: at an airport, any ground vehicle has to request permission
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 7: from air traffic control to cross the runway. This fire
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 7: truck did just that. They requested permission across the runway,
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 7: they were given permission to do so. Moments after that
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 7: permission was granted, air traffic control comes back and says stop, stop, stop,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 7: trying to get the fire truck to stop. Sadly, they
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 7: did not do so in time, so we don't know
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 7: what happened other than in fact, we had seventy two
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 7: passengers on board the aircraft for a crew member. We
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 7: had the two pilots that were killed. Forty one I
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 7: believe were taken to the hospital. Thirty two release nine
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 7: are listed in serious condition. The two individuals were being
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 7: told in the fire truck are injured, but non life
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 7: threatening injuries.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 3: There.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 7: So the NTSB's arrived, they're going to find out exactly
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 7: what happened. Everybody involves going to be drug tested, looked
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 7: at the training to look at the maintenance of the
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 7: aircraft to make sure the brakes were, you know, doing
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 7: what they were supposed to be doing. And you know,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 7: we'll see if it was a simple matter of a
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 7: human mistake or if there was mechanical situations or anything
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 7: else that might have impacted this. And you know, we'll
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 7: get a briefing in like seven days and then thirty days,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 7: and then the final report will be eight to twelve
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 7: months out. But Brian, you just we've talked about these
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 7: runway incursions over the last several months. Yeah, and they
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 7: seem to be growing in number. And here's the situation where,
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 7: you know, the aircraft was at a point on the
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 7: runway where they had no options. You're nearing the end
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 7: of the runway. You passed the point of no return
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 7: where you can't power up and go around. According to
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 7: the passenger that were interviewed, they those that fly a
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 7: lot said it was obvious they were trying to stop
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 7: much faster than usual and the airplane was swerving a
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 7: bit before impact, and sadly the crew saw the fire truck.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 7: Obviously they're doing what they can, but they have limited
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 7: mobility as far as that aircraft. It's simply not designed
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 7: to you know, be a zero turn raider on that,
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 7: so it takes time to stop. And sadly they had
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 7: they have few options. And yeah, it's the whole well,
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 7: the whole front's ripped off of the aircraft. And you
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 7: know the airplane is is designed with high strength in
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 7: essence aluminum, if you will, and it collides with a
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 7: steel truck. I mean, you know who's going to win
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 7: the battle there? And uh, you know, in that front
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 7: comes off, the aircraft itself just tips up and you
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 7: see that the picture that's there. But you know, you
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 7: just you hope that we can find out what happens.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 7: So as always we say this that we can honor
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 7: the lives of those that were lost by trying to
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 7: learn what happened and then do whatever we can humanly
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 7: speaking to prevent it from happening again. And of course
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 7: they've closed the Liberty Airport, which only has two runways,
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 7: until I believe two o'clock this afternoon to make sure
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 7: that the investigation can go forward. And that they can
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 7: remove everything that needs to be removed before they can
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 7: resume flight activity. And yeah, we'll wait to see what
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 7: the answer is that the NTSB gives us. They will
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 7: do a thorough job as they always do, and we'll
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 7: find out what happened.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, we certainly will. And I guess the interesting thing
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: is when people say what they want about it. But
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: I find it unusual to observe that people are using
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: the airplane and the damage that was done to the
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: airplane and running into a fire truck at some low
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: rate of speed. He didn't say what speed. I've heard
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: around twenty five or so miles an hour J eight.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm hearing the same.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's proof that the airplane could not have flown
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: into the trade center and brought it down, because look
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: how flimsy the airplane is against the truck.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, something at a much higher speed.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: The first thing that came to my mind a really
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: high rated feed and a lot of airplane fuel in
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: that anyway.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: And the other interesting component of this I read that
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: a female flight attendant was ejected through the front of
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: that aircraft while she was still in her seat during
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: the crash. And she survived. Holy cow.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if if that's accurate. And when you look at
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 7: the when you look at the fact that the whole
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 7: front of the airplane is missing, you know, you have
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 7: a flight attendant that's positioned at the emergency door in
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 7: that seat, the jump seat there right at the front
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 7: of the airplane. So if everything behind her disappears, it's
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 7: very possible she could be thrown out of that open area.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 7: So you know, hopefully, you know, her recovery will be
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 7: uh will be okay from there, But we're gonna we're
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 7: gonna hear story after story after story from this. And
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 7: you know, you've already got people that are pointing the
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 7: fingers and this is predictable as it is ridiculous and
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 7: infuriating that they're immediately trying to make it a political
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 7: Uh yeah, you know, they probably didn't have enough air
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 7: traffic controllers in the tower, which means it's obviously President
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 7: Trump's fault. And I'm very quick to blow the whistle
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 7: and say time out.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 7: We've had an air traffic control or shortage for decades,
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 7: go back over several administrations. And if you're going to
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 7: cast blame, if there is blame on any shortage of
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 7: any air traffic controllers. It's not a Donald Trump issue.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 7: It's an issue that has taken well, I would say, yeah,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 7: he was president for four years and it was an
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 7: issue then, so but we had other challenges back then.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 7: But we've you know, we've had presidents for the last
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 7: twenty years that have identified, yeah, we need to do something,
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 7: and then they don't do anything about it. President Trump
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 7: has said it is an issue, We're going to get
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 7: it resolved, and he's tried to move things forward to
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 7: make that happen. But you know, just the part of
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 7: the politicians that look for events to use for political fodder,
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 7: especially when there's a loss of life, a noise me
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 7: beyond my ability to express it.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: Or a persistent problem across different administrations of different political
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: stripes that continues to exist after decades. Jay rattle lift.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: There you have it. Our elected officials rarely serve our
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: best interest. Pause will bring Jay back and talk about
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: the TSA shortage, of course, a political reality. They're not
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: getting paid, so they're not going to show up to work.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: Not shocking anyone, but causing a lot of headaches from
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: the American public and probably devastating for the airlines profits.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: I want to get into comment on that as well
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: more with Jay ratlet at take forty five right now
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 9: Station, fifty five KARC for investors with significant rc the
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 9: talk station.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: Ay forty eight, fifty five KRCD talk station. No, it's
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: not Thursday, it's a Monday edition of I heard media
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: Aviation expert Jay Ratloft talk. And today we're going to
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: move over on this topic to talk about the TSA.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, with the government not funding TSA agents are
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: not being paid starting salary fifty and I can certainly
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: understand maybe a lot of them living paycheck to paycheck.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: So you miss one and you've gotten ready to miss
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: the second one. You've got to pursue your options, and
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are doing that. And Sehn Duffy
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 1: just announced yesterday that he expects it to get a
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: lot worse if the government doesn't open back up. And
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: so Donald Trump suggested putting ICE agents into place to
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: certain TSA agents. Is that a logical reaction, Jay Ratliff,
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: Or a logical response to that? Will the ICE agents
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: be able to effectively do the TSA agent's job?
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they'll be able to assist in a manner that
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 7: will allow the screening process to resume a little bit
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 7: more of a normal flow. And it was great to
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 7: see because we do have highly trained government employees that
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 7: can come in and assist, and because of the fact
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 7: of the duties that are involved, the technology that's there,
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 7: there'll be some things they can do, some things they can't.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 7: But the idea of having extra hands and all hands
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 7: on deck is certainly going to help, especially some of
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 7: these airports that we're seeing some of these incredibly long lines. Now, logistically,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 7: it's a great move by the President, and politically, I
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 7: think it's a great move because you had a lot
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 7: of the Democrats that were seeing the long lines and
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 7: rejoicing in the fact that there were pain at the
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 7: airport by these passengers, thinking this is going to help
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 7: us using passengers as political you know pieces again and
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 7: President Trump says, no, no, you won't, because what I'm
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 7: going to do is deploy ice so that we're going
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 7: to alleviate that so those lines will be reduced considerably
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 7: and we'll get closer to a normal operation again, thwarting
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 7: their efforts to try to use the problems at the airport,
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 7: as you know, political gain type of thing which happens far, far,
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 7: far far too often.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 3: But I like it.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 7: It's a good move. It's not a permanent move, but
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 7: you know, hopefully we can get everything back so that
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 7: we can get these these men and women paid, because look,
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 7: there're the front line of defense for our aviation network.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 7: We've got to make sure that they are paid and
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 7: well treated. And the idea that there's no urgency seemingly
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 7: attached to what's going on. They seemed like the forgotten
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 7: step children, and that's I don't blame them, absolutely don't.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: Well, and I weren't that TSAG is put in place
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: because of nine to eleven.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 7: Jay, Well, they were put in place because we needed
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 7: to make the country feel better because nine to eleven
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 7: was not a situation where it was a breakdown in
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 7: security at all. But the thought was if we had
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 7: this uniformed government, you know, presence, it would make things
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 7: more effective. I totally disagreed with it, and I could
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 7: not believe President Trump created a separate, you know, a
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 7: government group here of fifty thousand plus that we're going
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 7: to be you know, adding more government jobs. But you know,
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 7: the thought was just like we put the National Guard
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 7: at the airport when flights resumed after those four days
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 7: of inactivity. For what I mean, it was nothing more
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 7: than the presence of the military to make us feel better.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 7: And though again the attacks had nothing to do with
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 7: the breakdown in security. So there was actually talk early
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 7: on when President Trump took over, do we even need
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 7: the TSA anymore? Can we go back to a private
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 7: security firms across the country? Uh? I think that genie
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 7: is out of the bottom and go back. But yeah,
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 7: because we still see the inconsistencies with the TSA that
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 7: we had when when we had private organizations as well.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: That's good point, and I just have to observe that
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: we're in the middle of a shooting war with one
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: of the world's largest sponsors of terrorism and not having
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: a TSA presence ere a reduced one. I think may
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: come back to haunt the Democrats. God forbid the the
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: airports are attacked in some way by someone for one
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: of a TSA agent. Don't know if that's actually going
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: to happen. I pray it doesn't, but it seems to
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: be a challenge there. Now, how about it?
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 3: You're right?
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, little time will be spent or wasted if
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 7: something like that happens, to immediately shift blame, which is
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 7: what you have to do when you're guilty of doing
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 7: nothing for it forever. And your whole job is how
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 7: can I stay in office? And what crisis can I
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 7: use to help me stay here? It's just I get
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 7: so irritated on both sides in the aisle within activity
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 7: of things getting done, you know, just like you know,
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 7: thirty nine trillion, congratulations the national debt. After five months,
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 7: we went from thirty eight to thirty nine. Thirty three
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 7: months later, we'll be at forty.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: Wait at a race. One thousand billion dollars in five months.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 1: That's great, real quick here, how much training do the
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: TSA agents go through. It's not like going through police
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: academy where you got like six months and that kind
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: of thing. At least I'm guessing. But insofar as ICE agents,
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: I think they can sit and monitor, like, for example,
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: the do not enter door that does not take a
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: college degree or even a high school degree. You can
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 1: sit it a chair and say no, you're not allowed
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: to come through here. So an ICE agent can certainly
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: handle that. But TSA training, I mean, what risk do
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: we run, putting an ice person where a TSA per
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: than person would be.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 7: Well, you could also put somebody at the point where
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 7: they're greeting and bringing people in and because that is
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 7: a less technical position as you mentioned, guarding the exit
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 7: ramps as well as far as the positioning at the
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 7: security checkpoint. And it's been a while since I've seen
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 7: the start to finish time of a TSA agent, but
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 7: there's enough that we could bring them into some of
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 7: the areas that require less training. They're more of an
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 7: assist type situation. And again, these individuals have been trained
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 7: in law enforcement, where the TSA officers we call them,
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 7: have not. Because even though the TSA employees look like
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 7: police officers, they're not. They have no law enforcement power whatsoever.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 7: We gave them the uniforms because the morale was low,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 7: and we decided to give them uniforms at one thousand
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 7: dollars a pop many many years ago to give them
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 7: a better look, more law enforcement, hopefully better respect Act
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 7: less issues, and that would help the morale.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 3: It didn't.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 7: So then they said, give them more money, that will
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 7: help the morale.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 3: It didn't.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 7: You know, we we've tried everything we can, but back
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 7: to your question forgive me is but yeah, the the
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 7: ICE agents are better prepared in many regards to be
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 7: in a position, especially when things become even though they're
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 7: not there for law enforcement. They're only acting the TSA
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 7: role because that always defers back to the airport police
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 7: when you've got a situation at the airport. But I
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 7: am totally okay with having these men and women train there,
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 7: and I love the fact that they're going to help
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 7: alleviate some of these issues, which again some of the
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 7: Democrats were actually celebrating these yeah image reports of how
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 7: bad things were and whose fault it was.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, their constituents suffering for one of funding great Jay ratings,
• 2:15:51

• 2:16:03
