Transcript
- 0:15Speaker 1: It's 7-0-6. It is Friday. It's Happy Friday. Got a
- 0:17Speaker 1: three-day weekend ahead of it for a lot of people, folks.
- 0:19Speaker 1: If you don't have a three-day weekend, that's okay. Looking
- 0:22Speaker 1: forward to Sunday and Riverfest and the beautiful weather. And
- 0:24Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this all morning when I
- 0:25Speaker 1: found out she, the official representative for the webpage Signal 99,
- 0:29Speaker 1: has gone on the program. Signal 99 happens to be
- 0:31Speaker 1: a spicy meme page for cops, firefighters, medics, and dispatchers,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and a place where light is thrown on shady excrement.
- 0:39Speaker 1: We could use the word pineapple there, right, Signal 99?
- 0:41Speaker 1: Welcome back to the 55 KRC Morning Show. I sure
- 0:43Speaker 1: appreciate what you do.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Good morning, Brian. How are you?
- 0:47Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I hope you can say the same.
- 0:49Speaker 1: You feeling better?
- 0:49Speaker 2: No.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I do have a huge plethora of pineapple to throw
- 0:57Speaker 2: at people.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Okay. I know you do, and it's welling up inside you.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I can kind of sense that. But I know you
- 1:02Speaker 1: are struggling with some health issues, and I'm going to
- 1:03Speaker 1: employ my listening audience. The power of prayer can be
- 1:07Speaker 1: very powerful. I know a lot of people believe in it.
- 1:09Speaker 1: So to the extent you have it in you and
- 1:10Speaker 1: will offer a little bit of help and support for
- 1:12Speaker 1: Signal 99, the person... I'd appreciate you sending prayers her
- 1:15Speaker 1: way for better health. So with that out of the way,
- 1:19Speaker 1: can we start with flock cameras?
- 1:23Speaker 2: If that's where you'd like to start.
- 1:24Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It's your show. Let's get it going.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Well, we've been talking about this morning. I found out
- 1:30Speaker 1: Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey in Hamilton County shut the flock cameras
- 1:33Speaker 1: down yesterday. And citing mostly it seems to be concerns
- 1:38Speaker 1: that mirror your concerns under your post, What the Flock?
- 1:43Speaker 1: in which you say, until the government does something at
- 1:45Speaker 1: a federal level to stop data collection from being sold,
- 1:48Speaker 1: there's nothing we as citizens can do. You support flaw cameras,
- 1:52Speaker 1: noting that, Lord Almighty, how many crimes have been solved
- 1:54Speaker 1: with the assistance of flaw cameras? But I wanted to
- 1:57Speaker 1: ask you initially, and we'll get into the details of
- 1:58Speaker 1: all this and what it means, but Signal 99, what
- 2:01Speaker 1: do you make of the timing? Don't you think Riverfest
- 2:05Speaker 1: and the 500,000-plus people are going to show up in
- 2:08Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati might be a time that even if you
- 2:11Speaker 1: hate flock cameras, since there is no urgency to shut
- 2:15Speaker 1: them down because the problems associated with data being sold
- 2:18Speaker 1: are not going to be resolved in the short term,
- 2:20Speaker 1: why would you do it before Sunday? Do you have
- 2:23Speaker 1: any idea why?
- 2:25Speaker 2: Well, the better question is, if the sheriff was really
- 2:30Speaker 2: altruistic and just trying to do the right thing by
- 2:33Speaker 2: putting flock on pause, And it wasn't to pander to
- 2:38Speaker 2: the masses who are screaming about flock. Why would she
- 2:41Speaker 2: announce it? Because all the criminals are going to hear
- 2:45Speaker 2: about it. That's a good, I did publicly announced it.
- 2:48Speaker 1: I even played it. I said, listen, if I know
- 2:50Speaker 1: about it and they're talking about it and Charmaine McGuffey
- 2:53Speaker 1: is making a news announcement about it, I think word's
- 2:55Speaker 1: going to get out to the criminal element that also,
- 2:57Speaker 1: as you know, signal 99 in touch with the police
- 3:00Speaker 1: department on a regular basis. We're short on officers, and
- 3:02Speaker 1: I imagine the mass contingent of officers that we have
- 3:05Speaker 1: in Cincinnati are probably going to be deployed around Riverfest,
- 3:08Speaker 1: given the crowd. So what about all the other neighborhoods
- 3:10Speaker 1: who now know, and everybody in them know, that flock
- 3:12Speaker 1: cameras are shut down? Hmm. Problem, maybe?
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a problem. It's probably, Riverfest
- 3:22Speaker 2: might get spicy, but I'm saying it might take a
- 3:26Speaker 2: few days for the vast majority of the criminals to
- 3:29Speaker 2: realize that Oh, my gosh, we can steal cars all
- 3:33Speaker 2: day long, and there's no flock cameras by this airsoft.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Property crimes.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Now, keep in mind, there are other agencies within Hamilton
- 3:44Speaker 2: County that have their own flock cameras, and they're not
- 3:47Speaker 2: shutting them down anytime soon.
- 3:50Speaker 1: No. But you also pointed out in your post something
- 3:52Speaker 1: a little bit perhaps more nefarious. This company called Axon, which...
- 3:57Speaker 1: I guess makes a similar line of cameras along the
- 4:00Speaker 1: flock lines or technology, but it also makes the tasers
- 4:03Speaker 1: you all use, the body-worn cameras, license plate readers, and
- 4:06Speaker 1: MVRs as all mobile video recorders that the sheriff's department
- 4:09Speaker 1: uses and the Cincinnati Police Department, I guess, uses. So
- 4:12Speaker 1: is this like flock has been identified as the evil actor,
- 4:17Speaker 1: although it's really just kind of like Kleenex being the
- 4:19Speaker 1: default word for facial tissues or Nobody calls them facial tissues.
- 4:23Speaker 1: They call them Kleenex. And Kleenex is a name brand.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Flock is a name brand for different types of systems
- 4:28Speaker 1: that do the same damn thing.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Well, the problem, the biggest problem is that Flock used
- 4:35Speaker 2: to be Axon. So they were one company. And then,
- 4:40Speaker 2: you know, they split off and created Flock and became competitors. Well,
- 4:47Speaker 2: Axon was like, yeah, yeah, whatever, because they were moving
- 4:50Speaker 2: in the... BWCs and the MVRs and the tasers and
- 4:55Speaker 2: all of that, while Flock was just really concerned about
- 4:58Speaker 2: license plate readers. So Flock just kind of did their
- 5:02Speaker 2: own thing and became very successful. But years ago, there
- 5:07Speaker 2: was a company that police departments all over the country
- 5:12Speaker 2: contracted with to go out and get contracts signed by
- 5:17Speaker 2: local businesses and residences that had private surveillance cameras that
- 5:22Speaker 2: would allow their department's real-time crime centers to tap into
- 5:27Speaker 2: at will. And when they did, and they could burn
- 5:29Speaker 2: their own video recordings off of it and go testify
- 5:34Speaker 2: in court without having to haul in a resident or
- 5:39Speaker 2: a business owner to testify, the detectives or the real-time
- 5:43Speaker 2: crime officers could testify themselves. Axon just bought that company
- 5:50Speaker 2: and all of those contracts. And we're talking about decades
- 5:54Speaker 2: of contracts. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of private
- 6:00Speaker 2: surveillance videos. Axon now owns that. So if they think
- 6:05Speaker 2: Slack is big brother watching, Axon is actually big brother watching.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And Axon is actually... the party responsible behind the smear
- 6:19Speaker 2: campaign against Flock. Ooh, shocking. Yeah, it's very shocking.
- 6:24Speaker 1: And also the Chinese Communist Party, as I just learned, too.
- 6:27Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, there's a report on Fox News about it.
- 6:30Speaker 1: The Compute War at Home, where they show all these
- 6:33Speaker 1: Neville Royce-Singham and Chinese Communist Party-affiliated protest groups, heavily funded,
- 6:38Speaker 1: protesting Flock, and, of course, artificial intelligence. They're in bed, too.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Yeah. And meanwhile, meanwhile, everybody's screaming, oh, our privacy. OK,
- 6:50Speaker 2: first of all, when you're driving down a public street,
- 6:53Speaker 2: you have no expectation of privacy. OK, you walk into
- 6:58Speaker 2: a store with cameras. You have no expectation of privacy.
- 7:02Speaker 2: If you have an Alexa at home or a cell
- 7:06Speaker 2: phone at home, that's a smartphone. You have no expectation
- 7:10Speaker 2: of privacy because guess what? They're selling all your data, too.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Does Axon have a pledge not to sell any data
- 7:21Speaker 1: to any third-party entity? Probably not. No.
- 7:26Speaker 2: No, and here's another myth busted. Flock does not use
- 7:30Speaker 2: facial recognition software, period. Axon cannot say the same thing. Huh.
- 7:39Speaker 2: So I was actually... I was actually freaking out about
- 7:44Speaker 2: Axon a couple years ago when the sheriff had Axon
- 7:48Speaker 2: everything switched over. I did a big article about how officers, deputies,
- 7:54Speaker 2: would have zero privacy going forward. Zero. Because their Taser,
- 8:01Speaker 2: their BWC, and the MVR, the mobile video recorder in
- 8:06Speaker 2: their cruiser, which has video and audio, can be turned
- 8:09Speaker 2: on at any time. without the officer or the deputy
- 8:14Speaker 2: knowing it and listen to them. And their BWC cameras
- 8:19Speaker 2: from Axon now have 24-hour look back. So even if
- 8:23Speaker 2: their BWC is not on, they can play it back
- 8:26Speaker 2: for 24 hours and listen to everything that officer has
- 8:30Speaker 2: talked about in his cruiser, on the phone to their spouse, whatever. Everything.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Nothing is off limits now. And I warned these departments
- 8:42Speaker 2: two years ago that they had no more privacy at
- 8:47Speaker 2: work at all whatsoever. None. To be careful. So it's
- 8:53Speaker 2: like an Alexa without the prompt word.
- 8:56Speaker 1: It's like an Alexa without the prompt word.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Correct. Well, it used to be if admin turned on
- 9:01Speaker 2: your BWC, the little light would be flash. It doesn't anymore.
- 9:06Speaker 2: It doesn't have to. But I just want to say
- 9:09Speaker 2: CPD is now fully integrated to Axon. Their MDC computers
- 9:15Speaker 2: in their car now use Axon to write their reports.
- 9:20Speaker 2: And they use Axon to do all of the work
- 9:24Speaker 2: that they do in their mobile data computer that's in
- 9:27Speaker 2: the cruiser. So Axon now has access to that as well.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Wow. Well, as we have to go into a break here,
- 9:37Speaker 1: we will continue for this hour of power with Signal 99.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Go to Facebook, look for Signal 99, and follow what
- 9:42Speaker 1: she has to say. She does come with the goods,
- 9:44Speaker 1: which apparently we'll talk about a little bit later. This
- 9:46Speaker 1: kind of angered Interim Police Chief Henney. But I have
- 9:49Speaker 1: to conclude the segment on this one, Charmaine. or rather, Charmaine,
- 9:53Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that was, I didn't mean to do that.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Pineapples. Pineapples.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Pineapples. Signal 99, here's your statement. Remember, folks, flock cameras
- 10:04Speaker 1: and LPRs were instrumental in recovering Charmaine McGuffey's stolen cruiser
- 10:07Speaker 1: after it was stolen because she left her fob and
- 10:10Speaker 1: firearms in her unlocked cruiser three different times. There you go.
- 10:15Speaker 1: That's what pisses people off right there, Signal. Don't go away.
- 10:18Speaker 1: It's 716 right now, 55KRC, the talk station. 55KRC, the
- 10:23Speaker 1: talk station. Talk station. 720, 55KRC, the talk station. Brian
- 10:28Speaker 1: Thomas with Signal 99. The voice behind Signal 99 on Facebook.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Spicy meme page exposing the route is what we're talking
- 10:38Speaker 1: about this morning. Let's continue with Flockhammer just briefly here.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Signal 99, the announcement from Charmaine McGuffey, they're going to
- 10:45Speaker 1: quit using them. You're not going to search them. You're
- 10:47Speaker 1: just going to turn them off until we deal with
- 10:49Speaker 1: the data and privacy issues. We were talking about flocks
- 10:52Speaker 1: selling data out into the world or something along those lines.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Followed by also Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Major Tony, I
- 10:58Speaker 1: believe it's Oru. He's the Enforcement Division Sheriff's Office. And
- 11:01Speaker 1: he had a very long email he sent out. He
- 11:04Speaker 1: said there are no allegations or concerns that our deputies
- 11:07Speaker 1: misused the system. They set rules for their people, cannot
- 11:10Speaker 1: fully account for who else can reach the data, how
- 11:13Speaker 1: the company collects it, or what access the company gives
- 11:15Speaker 1: to others. And that's the concern. Okay. He writes, statewide
- 11:21Speaker 1: and nationwide sharing may be accessed two ways. So the
- 11:26Speaker 1: other law enforcement agencies can access the data as well.
- 11:29Speaker 1: We cannot stand behind that standard for a system that
- 11:32Speaker 1: other agencies can access. So they're concerned about other agencies
- 11:35Speaker 1: looking at this data as well. Well, I was scratching
- 11:37Speaker 1: my head on that one because personally, since we're dealing
- 11:40Speaker 1: with law enforcement, I mean, putting the privacy issues aside,
- 11:43Speaker 1: which I share from a civil libertarian perspective, but I'm
- 11:45Speaker 1: happy there's a national child abuse and neglect data system
- 11:48Speaker 1: where we share information about pedophiles so we can get
- 11:51Speaker 1: the pedophiles. That information is readily shared between federal and
- 11:54Speaker 1: state law enforcement agencies so we can get them.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Or the FBI.
- 11:57Speaker 1: FBI, yeah.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Or the FBI. But that's OK. The NSA or the
- 12:03Speaker 2: Department of Justice, who cares if you're not a criminal?
- 12:07Speaker 2: Why do you care? Because you know what? I care, too,
- 12:12Speaker 2: about our data being sold. But like I said, there's
- 12:16Speaker 2: nothing that we can do until the federal government moves
- 12:20Speaker 2: to change that. And and and. Pass a law.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Why would they do that? The concerns for me about
- 12:27Speaker 1: why we should care extend to, okay, enforcing the current
- 12:30Speaker 1: criminal laws is a great idea. I want that. I
- 12:33Speaker 1: don't commit crimes, so I'm in that category of safe people.
- 12:35Speaker 1: But it's the day when they change the laws or
- 12:40Speaker 1: they change the purpose for the use of it.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Okay, that's true, such as the Patriot Act happened. I
- 12:46Speaker 2: was all about the Patriot Act when it happened, and
- 12:50Speaker 2: just with my thought process. I'm not a terrorist. And
- 12:53Speaker 2: if it helps catch terrorists, then I don't care. I,
- 12:57Speaker 2: you know, and I, I, and I don't, if that's
- 13:00Speaker 2: all they were using it for, but now they use
- 13:02Speaker 2: the Patriot Act as an end round around everything. They're
- 13:06Speaker 2: going to do the same thing with the data sharing.
- 13:09Speaker 2: So of course they're not going to pass a law
- 13:11Speaker 2: anytime soon. So that, that's going to take states to
- 13:17Speaker 2: force the government to stop selling our information. As far
- 13:24Speaker 2: as sharing our information with government law enforcement agencies, I
- 13:29Speaker 2: still don't care. Now, if they come up with tyrannical laws, well,
- 13:35Speaker 2: let's have a civil war then. I'm not going to
- 13:37Speaker 2: worry about that now because, you know, because I'm all
- 13:43Speaker 2: about civil war too. So, you know, I mean, if
- 13:45Speaker 2: that's what it takes to stay a free nation and,
- 13:49Speaker 2: you know, I get scolded all the time if you
- 13:52Speaker 2: if you believe in flock you don't believe in freedom
- 13:55Speaker 2: you give me a break you know what um if
- 13:58Speaker 2: you if you believe in law and order then um
- 14:02Speaker 2: saving one child's life uh is worth it don't you
- 14:07Speaker 2: think because if it was your.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Child i would agree with that like i said yeah.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Everybody hates flock until their child gets snatched off the
- 14:15Speaker 2: streets And then they pray to God Almighty that that
- 14:18Speaker 2: suspect drives by a Flock camera. And that's all I
- 14:21Speaker 2: want to talk about Flock.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Dan, fair enough, because we're out of time in the segment. Anyway,
- 14:24Speaker 1: I just will observe that the people screaming and running around, obviously,
- 14:31Speaker 1: many of which are part of these leftist organizations, probably
- 14:34Speaker 1: don't like Flock for one reason, maybe, which is because
- 14:36Speaker 1: Flock would record their vehicles going in and out of
- 14:39Speaker 1: these large protests, often violent they are, And then may
- 14:42Speaker 1: confirm that they're driving in and out of different venues
- 14:45Speaker 1: in different states far away from the one that they
- 14:47Speaker 1: were at in some other city. Tracking the protesters. Absolutely. Organized.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Well-organized machine.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Antifa hates flocks. Antifa hates everything. That's not Antifa.
- 14:57Speaker 1: They do. Part of the DSA's platform. But the more
- 15:00Speaker 1: we talk about flocks.
- 15:02Speaker 2: The more we talk about flock, the more relieved Carrie
- 15:04Speaker 2: Bloom is this morning.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Next up, out of the gate, Carrie Bloom. Man, you talk.
- 15:09Speaker 1: And wasn't even mentioned by Aftab Perval, who came out
- 15:13Speaker 1: swinging with a new plan to address violence around the
- 15:15Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati campus. That's next with Signal 99. I
- 15:18Speaker 1: hope you can stick around.
- 15:21Speaker 2: 55KRC.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Fairfax Credit Union's 20th annual charity golf tournament will take
- 15:26Speaker 1: place Monday, September 25. 55KRC, the talk station. It's 729
- 15:32Speaker 1: at 55 KRCV Talk Station. Facebook, Signal 99. Outstanding reporting
- 15:38Speaker 1: from my guest on the program this morning. Happy to
- 15:40Speaker 1: have her back. Signal 99, let me start real quickly
- 15:43Speaker 1: here before we get to the juvenile court and the
- 15:46Speaker 1: problems brought to all of the community by Administrative Juvenile
- 15:49Speaker 1: Court Judge Carrie Bloom. We do have a better option
- 15:52Speaker 1: in November. We can get people out to vote for
- 15:54Speaker 1: Magistrate Lucan. But Mayor Aftab Perville actually came out of
- 15:57Speaker 1: his basement to address the crime issue for the first
- 16:00Speaker 1: time I think ever yesterday. acknowledging that there was fights
- 16:03Speaker 1: among high school students outside of Hughes in the mass
- 16:06Speaker 1: brawl there, four shootings around University of Cincinnati campus with
- 16:09Speaker 1: four people injured and one dead. Obviously very serious, he said.
- 16:14Speaker 1: And he said, we take any violence seriously, particularly when
- 16:16Speaker 1: we have violence in such a high-density area. Here's what
- 16:19Speaker 1: he had to say, Signal. When asked about his message
- 16:23Speaker 1: to parents, Perval said, we're doing everything we can to
- 16:26Speaker 1: make sure we stop these violent acts. We hold people
- 16:29Speaker 1: accountable and we prevent it from happening again. Along those lines,
- 16:33Speaker 1: his proposals for dealing with the problem, restricting traffic flow
- 16:36Speaker 1: in certain areas, increasing lighting, implementing parking restrictions, and enhancing
- 16:40Speaker 1: patrol visibility, along with the UC police. Now, I know
- 16:44Speaker 1: we have a limited number of officers, and I think
- 16:45Speaker 1: enhancing visibility does work. We know that statistically. He didn't
- 16:49Speaker 1: say anything about the juvenile court justice system, which has
- 16:52Speaker 1: been a failure to everyone, including the juveniles that brought
- 16:55Speaker 1: into the system. Judge Bloom.
- 16:57Speaker 2: I was just going to ask you, did he... suggest
- 17:00Speaker 2: voting for Susan Lucan in November?
- 17:02Speaker 1: No, he didn't. He didn't touch the.
- 17:04Speaker 2: That would solve the juvenile crime problem.
- 17:07Speaker 1: I know. Judge Bloom, who has, as you revealed, this
- 17:11Speaker 1: is insane. Is it officially called a Bible of unofficial charges?
- 17:16Speaker 1: You have that in quotes on your site.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. Can we take a pause for a minute? Yeah.
- 17:24Speaker 2: I have to give a shout out to one of
- 17:27Speaker 2: the members of Signal 99. who recently retired from the
- 17:31Speaker 2: sheriff's office and just became Social Security eligible today. So
- 17:37Speaker 2: I can officially unmask him and say, happy birthday, Wild
- 17:43Speaker 2: Bill Beckman.
- 17:44Speaker 1: All right.
- 17:45Speaker 2: And you are unmasked and free to move about the county.
- 17:50Speaker 2: And also a shout out to Jeff Scherer, who wrote
- 17:55Speaker 2: a book called Shots Fired on Reading Road. It's about
- 18:00Speaker 2: the murder of Cincinnati patrolman Donald Martin and Jeff as
- 18:05Speaker 2: a retired CPD homicide detective that helped crack that 44-year-old case.
- 18:12Speaker 2: He's got a book out. It's on Amazon. He's also
- 18:15Speaker 2: a member of Signal 99, but he's not very funny
- 18:20Speaker 2: and he doesn't write as well as I do, but
- 18:23Speaker 2: by his book because it's a fascinating read.
- 18:26Speaker 1: A shout out and a salute.
- 18:28Speaker 2: And yet, speaking of books, the Bible of Carrie Bloom's
- 18:33Speaker 2: unofficial charges, yes, that's absolutely true. That's what everybody has
- 18:38Speaker 2: called it for years. And somebody was dumb enough to
- 18:43Speaker 2: leave it out on the counter the other day.
- 18:48Speaker 3: And a police officer that happened to be passing through
- 18:51Speaker 3: saw it and took a bunch of screenshots and sent
- 18:54Speaker 3: them to me. So It took me a couple of
- 18:57Speaker 3: days to write the article. I needed to get some
- 19:00Speaker 3: facts checked and I was able to do that.
- 19:04Speaker 2: And there you have it. And it isn't isn't that disgusting.
- 19:07Speaker 1: It is disgusting. Now, if you are charged with a
- 19:11Speaker 1: crime on the Bible of unofficial charges, that's initial cap
- 19:15Speaker 1: as a juvenile. If you are charged with the following crimes,
- 19:18Speaker 1: which are on the list of unofficial charges, assault, resisting arrest,
- 19:21Speaker 1: obstructing official business, obstructing justice, inducing panic, criminal damaging, possession
- 19:25Speaker 1: of criminal tools, theft, criminal trespass, falsification, misuse of credit cards, complicity,
- 19:31Speaker 1: then you are not detained. You're let out.
- 19:35Speaker 2: And that includes if you commit an assault, okay, a
- 19:42Speaker 2: serious assault, And a police officer goes to arrest you
- 19:46Speaker 2: and you resist. And they arrest you. and now they're
- 19:51Speaker 2: going to charge you with resisting as well. And you
- 19:55Speaker 2: lie about your name, which is falsification, which is a
- 19:59Speaker 2: whole other charge. You can get charged with all three
- 20:02Speaker 2: of those things. They walk you into 2020. You still
- 20:06Speaker 2: get to go home before they're done writing their report.
- 20:11Speaker 2: No detention.
- 20:12Speaker 1: No detention. But my understanding is, based upon what you report,
- 20:15Speaker 1: that the offenses I just listed, unofficial charges, those are
- 20:19Speaker 1: offenses for which Judge Bloom won't even allow a juvenile
- 20:22Speaker 1: to be detained in 2020, so they don't have to
- 20:24Speaker 1: make that step. You mentioned if they resist arrest and
- 20:27Speaker 1: assault an officer, that'll get them into the door, but
- 20:29Speaker 1: it won't do anything by way of outcome.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Exactly. They bring them in, and while the officer's filling
- 20:36Speaker 2: out their report, at 2020, they're They call the guardian.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Guardian comes and picks them up. They usually leave before
- 20:43Speaker 2: the officer does. And talk about a morale killer. That's
- 20:48Speaker 2: a morale killer because they pick up these same juveniles
- 20:52Speaker 2: over and over and over. I believe I told you
- 20:55Speaker 2: previously I had an officer that reached out to me
- 20:58Speaker 2: earlier this year. He had arrested a 12-year-old. It was
- 21:03Speaker 2: a CPD officer, arrested a 12-year-old for grand theft auto.
- 21:08Speaker 2: And the kid walked out of 2020 before he was
- 21:12Speaker 2: even done filing his report. Grand Theft Auto. Okay, that's
- 21:16Speaker 2: not a misdemeanor. Okay, and guess what happened two weeks later?
- 21:21Speaker 2: He arrested the same 12-year-old for Grand Theft Auto.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Felony.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Correct. And he still walked out of 2020. This is
- 21:34Speaker 2: Kerry Bloom's just a in juvenile court. We can't have
- 21:39Speaker 2: any of this. We just can't do it. And the
- 21:45Speaker 2: thing about not letting them look like criminals, you want
- 21:48Speaker 2: to allow them, when they're being transported to juvenile court
- 21:52Speaker 2: for 2020, to have their wrists kept at their waist
- 21:57Speaker 2: and their feet? Nope, handcuffs only. And so they've been
- 22:02Speaker 2: having assaults happening in the transport van, and she won't
- 22:05Speaker 2: allow the COs to pull over and intervene. She won't
- 22:10Speaker 2: allow them to ride in the back with the juveniles.
- 22:13Speaker 2: She makes them continue on until they get to the
- 22:15Speaker 2: courthouse because she doesn't want police officers to get involved
- 22:21Speaker 2: and treat them like criminals.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Well, I know you're not done unloading on, and it's
- 22:26Speaker 1: all worthy unloading on Juvenile Court Judge Carrie Bloom because
- 22:29Speaker 1: we have an election where we can change the dynamic
- 22:31Speaker 1: down there. But you've got a lot more to talk
- 22:32Speaker 1: about along these lines. And we're out of time in
- 22:34Speaker 1: this segment. Signal 99 will continue with more on the
- 22:38Speaker 1: antics of Judge Carrie Bloom after these brief words.
- 22:42Speaker 2: 55KRC.
- 22:44Speaker 1: KRC, the talk station. 739 at 55KRC, the talk station.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Brian Thomas with, on Facebook, Signal 99. Read
- 22:54Speaker 1: what she's got to write about. Much to the chagrin
- 22:57Speaker 1: of anybody in law enforcement or anybody in the administration
- 22:59Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati, pivoting back over, Aftab Perlwald did not
- 23:02Speaker 1: mention reform in the juvenile court as part of his
- 23:05Speaker 1: efforts to crack down on crime, even though Judge Bloom
- 23:07Speaker 1: does not believe in the administration of justice for juveniles.
- 23:11Speaker 1: And maybe this is part of the Democrat Socialists of
- 23:13Speaker 1: America whittling away of law enforcement, period, end of story,
- 23:16Speaker 1: which they want to eradicate. And this is the beginning
- 23:18Speaker 1: of the eradication. But Treating juveniles with kid gloves even
- 23:21Speaker 1: though they're violent. Now, you mentioned a violent act will
- 23:23Speaker 1: land a kid over in 2020 juvenile detention on 800 Broadway.
- 23:27Speaker 1: But you mentioned in the last segment that Judge Bloom
- 23:30Speaker 1: will not allow juveniles to be shackled with their hands
- 23:33Speaker 1: to their waists. There's a good reason you want to
- 23:35Speaker 1: have that done. She doesn't want them looking like criminals,
- 23:38Speaker 1: but what can happen? You mentioned in your post, two
- 23:40Speaker 1: kids ambushed a third kid while they were being transported
- 23:43Speaker 1: to 2020. The victim was pretty seriously injured. Marks on
- 23:46Speaker 1: his face, the handcuffs that aren't shackled around the waist
- 23:49Speaker 1: were around his throat, apparently leaving handcuff marks there. The
- 23:54Speaker 1: corrections officers are forbidden from riding in the back seat
- 23:58Speaker 1: with the juveniles while being transported. And here's the fun
- 24:00Speaker 1: fact that I'm puzzling over. Corrections officers have a video
- 24:04Speaker 1: camera in the back of the van, but even if
- 24:06Speaker 1: something happens, like the foregoing coordinated attack on another juvenile
- 24:10Speaker 1: while being transported, Judge Bloom makes the corrections officers keep
- 24:15Speaker 1: driving to the destination before intervening because she doesn't want
- 24:19Speaker 1: police officers to intervene and treat them like criminals. Well,
- 24:22Speaker 1: they're engaged in a criminal act at the time. What
- 24:25Speaker 1: are they supposed to allow the criminal act to be ongoing?
- 24:27Speaker 1: The only change in how they would react if they
- 24:30Speaker 1: were doing this on the street, beating the crap out
- 24:32Speaker 1: of another kid, where they would intervene, is because they're
- 24:35Speaker 1: in a police car? How dumb is that?
- 24:44Speaker 2: Well can I knock yourself out can I throw just
- 24:48Speaker 2: a tiny little teaser out please I've been blowing Bloom
- 24:52Speaker 2: up pretty on the regular and it's all facts okay
- 24:57Speaker 2: it's all it's 100% it's not speculation but I'm going
- 25:03Speaker 2: to throw this out there I'll be posting something later
- 25:06Speaker 2: today um And the only thing that I'll talk about
- 25:11Speaker 2: it right now is that Bloom had the audacity to
- 25:19Speaker 2: go before the FOP 1900 club, which is Cincinnati TD FOP,
- 25:26Speaker 2: Queen city log 69 and seek their endorsement for reelection.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Is she that oblivious?
- 25:37Speaker 2: Oh, it's not oblivious. It's, hubris and arrogance. And not
- 25:42Speaker 2: only that, she's BFF with interim chief Henney and Cheryl
- 25:47Speaker 2: Long and the mayor and Iris Rowley. And I'm sure
- 25:50Speaker 2: they all encouraged her to go. So I'm, I'm just
- 25:54Speaker 2: going to say this. If, if the 1900 gave Carrie
- 26:01Speaker 2: Bloom the endorsement, I, I, I don't know what I
- 26:06Speaker 2: would do. I'd probably curl up in a little ball
- 26:08Speaker 2: and die. So I don't see it happening.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Sign of the apocalypse.
- 26:11Speaker 2: In a million years. But that's not even the meat
- 26:16Speaker 2: and potatoes of the article I'm putting out today. That's
- 26:20Speaker 2: just a very, very beginning.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Another reason to follow Signal 99 on Facebook if you're
- 26:26Speaker 1: not doing it already. Well, you know, I understand the
- 26:30Speaker 1: concept of an independent judiciary system. Let me ask you,
- 26:33Speaker 1: Signal 99, based upon the information you have, and you
- 26:35Speaker 1: have a lot of it with people absolutely there in
- 26:37Speaker 1: the know, do the city manager, Cheryl Long, maybe Iris Rowley,
- 26:42Speaker 1: the third-party administrator of something or other out in the world,
- 26:45Speaker 1: well-paid for that as a nongovernmental organization she runs, but
- 26:49Speaker 1: also Aftab Perlbaugh. So Long, Rowley, Perlbaugh, do all three
- 26:53Speaker 1: or any one of them have any control over the
- 26:56Speaker 1: policies and positions of Judge Bloom in the juvenile court?
- 27:00Speaker 3: No.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Well, no, it's funny that you say that. They don't.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Officially.
- 27:07Speaker 2: But the mayor has always had his hands in the
- 27:15Speaker 2: justice system in Hamilton County since he was clerk of court.
- 27:19Speaker 2: So when he was clerk of court, he walked into
- 27:23Speaker 2: a Democratic judicial meeting and said, you're all going to–
- 27:29Speaker 2: Do low and no bail bonds and soft on sentencing,
- 27:36Speaker 2: or I'm going to have you primaried. And only one
- 27:40Speaker 2: Democratic judge stood up, and that was Daunte Johnson, which
- 27:44Speaker 2: shocks me. But he stood up and he said, you
- 27:46Speaker 2: know what? Then go ahead and primary because you're not
- 27:49Speaker 2: going to tell me what to do in my own
- 27:50Speaker 2: damn court.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Good.
- 27:52Speaker 2: He's the only one that stood up and said, go
- 27:55Speaker 2: ahead and primary me. So– And he's still around, so
- 28:00Speaker 2: clearly that was an empty threat, but it worked. And
- 28:05Speaker 2: then when he became mayor, and you've got to think,
- 28:09Speaker 2: Wendy Cross, Judge Hathaway, Judge Branch, so many of them,
- 28:17Speaker 2: and a bunch of city council, they're all a very
- 28:20Speaker 2: tight-knit group. Connie Pillich, the sheriff, they're all in there
- 28:25Speaker 2: with Bloom, and they all protect each other. And they
- 28:29Speaker 2: all push their people to push, you know, for the
- 28:35Speaker 2: votes that they want to see happen, which is why,
- 28:38Speaker 2: you know, we lost last November because only 13 percent
- 28:44Speaker 2: of Republicans in Cincinnati turned up to vote.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Only 25 percent of registered voters showed up. And guess
- 28:50Speaker 1: who those registered voters are behind, right? The NGO activists
- 28:54Speaker 1: who have their jobs waiting on the line if they
- 28:56Speaker 1: don't vote for the same administration over and over. Their
- 28:58Speaker 1: financial lifeline gets cut off. That's a lot of pressure
- 29:01Speaker 1: on these already leftist judges and politicians downtown. Speaking of
- 29:06Speaker 1: losing votes, apparently Judge Blum is trying to force a
- 29:09Speaker 1: change in venue for a 16-year-old kid who murdered someone else.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Going to be tried as an adult maybe. She is
- 29:18Speaker 1: going to lose votes if she doesn't change the venue
- 29:21Speaker 1: for this one. That plus what's wrong with interim police
- 29:24Speaker 1: chief Henney and with Signal 99. We'll do that one
- 29:28Speaker 1: more segment. This has been fascinating. Signal 99, don't go away.
- 29:32Speaker 2: 55KRC.
- 29:33Speaker 1: What right or authority does a judge have to unilaterally
- 29:38Speaker 1: change a venue?
- 29:40Speaker 2: She's asking for it and she's trying to get CPS
- 29:44Speaker 2: to push for it. So it's simply to distance herself
- 29:50Speaker 2: from this case. so that it doesn't hurt her in
- 29:53Speaker 2: the upcoming reelection.
- 29:55Speaker 1: So people are so aware of this one case that
- 29:58Speaker 1: if she were to try this kid as an adult
- 29:59Speaker 1: in a Hamilton County juvenile or in a Hamilton County
- 30:03Speaker 1: civil or rather criminal adult court, that people will be
- 30:07Speaker 1: so aware of it, it could impact the election?
- 30:10Speaker 2: Yes. So the article I did on Bloom about a
- 30:16Speaker 2: week ago has over 300 views and it's still being shared.
- 30:23Speaker 2: The ones that I've done over the last few days
- 30:26Speaker 2: sprinkled around, several hundred thousand views, and it's still going strong.
- 30:33Speaker 2: So she knows that it's getting a lot of attention.
- 30:37Speaker 2: It's getting a lot of traction. They're getting a lot
- 30:40Speaker 2: of phone calls. Connie Pellich is extremely upset with me.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Bloom is upset with me. Iris is upset with me.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Bloom is actually crying. Everybody that'll listen that she's getting
- 30:55Speaker 2: death threats because of me. And here's the thing. Suck
- 30:58Speaker 2: it up, Carrie, because I get death threats all the time.
- 31:02Speaker 2: All the time. I'm not whining about it on social media.
- 31:07Speaker 2: And I doubt that the death threats that you're getting
- 31:09Speaker 2: are actual death threats. So stop being a drama queen
- 31:14Speaker 2: and just resign. Just step down. Withdraw your bid for
- 31:19Speaker 2: reelection because you're done. You're done in Hamilton County. Everybody
- 31:25Speaker 2: knows it, and you know it too.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Well, her efforts to have a change of venue in
- 31:30Speaker 1: this one case with all of the people, as you
- 31:32Speaker 1: point out, paying attention on social media, something suggests to
- 31:35Speaker 1: me that a lot of those posts, if not maybe
- 31:37Speaker 1: a vast majority of them, are critical of her.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Well, a lot of my posts on social media are
- 31:45Speaker 2: critical of, you're talking about Carrie Bloom?
- 31:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:50Speaker 2: They're absolutely critical of her.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Right. Because she's moving for the change of venue. So
- 31:56Speaker 1: wouldn't it be in her best interest to just drop
- 31:58Speaker 1: that stupidity and try the case here in Hamilton County?
- 32:02Speaker 2: Well, she wouldn't even be the judge trying it. It
- 32:04Speaker 2: would be going to Common Pleas.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Problem solved. Problem solved.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:10Speaker 1: This is insane.
- 32:14Speaker 2: But she also doesn't want to give up control. If
- 32:16Speaker 2: she could get it moved to Montgomery County... then she
- 32:19Speaker 2: could still have a little bit of control about what's
- 32:21Speaker 2: going to go on up there. The whole thing is
- 32:23Speaker 2: just such a joke.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Well, if they transfer it up there, the kid could
- 32:27Speaker 1: still be tried as an adult, I imagine, too.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Well, it would be tried as an adult, yes. Right.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Signal 99, real quickly, I see that Interim Police Chief
- 32:37Speaker 1: Henney is kind of upset, as in my notes here.
- 32:41Speaker 1: What is Henney's problem with you?
- 32:45Speaker 2: Well, you know, this is really funny. I was very
- 32:51Speaker 2: supportive of him when he had only, he went from
- 32:54Speaker 2: being a captain to an interim chief in eight days.
- 32:58Speaker 2: And I was supportive and I said, give him time,
- 33:01Speaker 2: let him learn. You know, he's, he's, you know, he's
- 33:04Speaker 2: got big shoes to fill and it's, you know, whatever. Um,
- 33:10Speaker 2: he came out strong, kinda. He did. And I, um,
- 33:15Speaker 2: did a little bit of praising here and there of
- 33:17Speaker 2: some of the things that I saw and heard him doing.
- 33:20Speaker 2: And then, you know what? He just bent the knee,
- 33:24Speaker 2: sold his soul to Cheryl Long, and has just been
- 33:27Speaker 2: nothing but a meat puppet since. And so I actually
- 33:32Speaker 2: called Ken Tober, I don't know, like February. When was
- 33:37Speaker 2: it that we had that shooting down at the music
- 33:43Speaker 2: center down there? Oh.
- 33:46Speaker 1: In a blur of shootings in downtown, that one's kind
- 33:48Speaker 1: of escaped or is off my radar right now. Earlier
- 33:51Speaker 1: in the year, anyway.
- 33:52Speaker 2: During that shooting, I had criticized him a couple of
- 33:56Speaker 2: days before for having Chief Henney on his uniform instead
- 34:01Speaker 2: of interim Chief Henney because Teresa Tigi had not been
- 34:05Speaker 2: terminated yet.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:08Speaker 2: And I thought that was very tacky. And I said, hey,
- 34:11Speaker 2: you know what?
- 34:12Speaker 1: Do better.
- 34:12Speaker 2: It's not a good look. You know, and that night
- 34:19Speaker 2: of the shooting, he was down there talking to all
- 34:22Speaker 2: the other officers down there standing around waiting for everything
- 34:25Speaker 2: to get wrapped up. And he was talking nine yards
- 34:29Speaker 2: of pineapples about me. For those of you that don't know,
- 34:32Speaker 2: pineapples are safe words for curse words.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Yes. So he was talking all this math about me
- 34:39Speaker 1: down there.
- 34:42Speaker 2: And they were all telling me. Like, my phone was
- 34:45Speaker 2: blowing up. Henny's down here talking smack about you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 34:50Speaker 2: And it was making them mad. The officers were getting mad.
- 34:54Speaker 2: So I called Ken Coburn the next day, and I said, hey,
- 34:58Speaker 2: I know Henny's a friend of yours, and so I
- 35:02Speaker 2: want to, you know, give him the courtesy of this
- 35:05Speaker 2: courtesy call to you. If he doesn't keep my name
- 35:09Speaker 2: out of his mouth, I'm going to set him on fire.
- 35:15Speaker 2: on my page. Yeah. And Ken started laughing and he said,
- 35:19Speaker 2: I'll call him right now. Well, real quick, he has continued.
- 35:25Speaker 2: He just continued. So anyways, every time I get these
- 35:28Speaker 2: facts and I blow these things up and I get
- 35:31Speaker 2: these receipts and I, so then he started yarding innocent
- 35:35Speaker 2: people into IA and have an IA grilled them, um,
- 35:40Speaker 2: for being leaks to signal 99. And, um, Yeah, he's
- 35:44Speaker 2: been on this witch hunt for leaks to Signal 99,
- 35:47Speaker 2: so he gets no mercy. He gets no quarter.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Well, that's what happens when you try to buck the
- 35:54Speaker 1: page that Signal 99 is, providing factual information. Go ahead,
- 35:58Speaker 1: try to refute the facts. The documents are there. The
- 36:00Speaker 1: information is there. It comes from sound sources in the know.
- 36:03Speaker 1: That's why we follow you, Signal 99. That's why I
- 36:05Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for joining the morning show from
- 36:06Speaker 1: time to time, and I'm already looking forward to the
- 36:08Speaker 1: next time you visit the program and... to the tease
- 36:11Speaker 1: announcement you made earlier, your post later today. Keep following her,
- 36:15Speaker 1: Signal 99. God bless you, and prayers for your better health.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Brian. God bless you, too.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
