- 1:30Speaker 1: I had a conversation with my mom the other day
- 1:31Speaker 1: about this, her apps and things, and you know, recognizing
- 1:36Speaker 1: that you are ignorant when it comes to things tech.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I'm speaking also about myself, and that you are operating
- 1:42Speaker 1: at a disadvantage because there's so many dangerous people out there,
- 1:44Speaker 1: so many people who want to steal from you or
- 1:46Speaker 1: otherwise engage in lawful conduct just by well hoovering up
- 1:50Speaker 1: all the information on your cell phone because you thought
- 1:52Speaker 1: you needed an app. Listen to Dave. Hundreds of millions
- 1:55Speaker 1: of audio devices need a patch to prevent hacking, says Dave.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And topic number three and these hackers targeting our infrastructure.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Former mayoral candidate Corey Bowman still a pastor and still
- 2:05Speaker 1: a businessman. He's going to join the program at seven
- 2:07Speaker 1: oh five. What's going on in the city. What's going
- 2:09Speaker 1: on to the West end? City of Cincinnati finally doing their job?
- 2:12Speaker 1: Oh look, Sharyl Long, city manager finally is going to
- 2:15Speaker 1: get her annual review, which is a in the city charter,
- 2:19Speaker 1: is supposed to be done every year. They didn't do
- 2:21Speaker 1: one last year. So anyway, maybe we'll talk about that
- 2:24Speaker 1: with Corey Diana Tella's Turning Port USA chapter coming to
- 2:27Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati first meeting on January twenty eighth.
- 2:30Speaker 1: We get the details from Diana eight oh five, and

- 2:37Speaker 1: The Windsor Report. You can find them online where you
- 2:39Speaker 1: get your podcasts. What's Worse Fraud in California, Minnesota or Ohio. Jay,
- 2:44Speaker 1: If you're out there, I think you might want to
- 2:46Speaker 1: listen to what Jack has to say. Coming up at
- 2:47Speaker 1: eight thirty, Hio Teachers Union stance on ice and his
- 2:51Speaker 1: interview with the vegu Ramaswami question, well are you prepared
- 2:56Speaker 1: for Snowmageddon? Laughed my off yesterday. Thank you Andrew Pappas,
- 3:02Speaker 1: former Anderson townup trustee for your comical post. Apparently he
- 3:05Speaker 1: had been at Kruger, he said, Kruger looks like the
- 3:08Speaker 1: last helicopter leaving Saigod did you get your bread and milk?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Thanks for the reminder. Top of the hour though. Anyway,
- 3:18Speaker 1: so before I get to the matters of evolving counsel
- 3:20Speaker 1: and others, I just deal with this because my God
- 3:22Speaker 1: the headline looks, Oh my ward, are You've got to
- 3:25Speaker 1: be kidding me. Now we've got elected officials out in
- 3:27Speaker 1: the world. You know, this chaos by design reality. You know,
- 3:31Speaker 1: let's just all freak out. Oh my god, Ice just
- 3:34Speaker 1: just rounded up a five year old. Oh my god.
- 3:37Speaker 1: You know, ice is the ice, this ice that and
- 3:40Speaker 1: you know, remember George Floyd, Oh my god, hands up,
- 3:42Speaker 1: don't shoot. And turns out we were kind of duped
- 3:44Speaker 1: by that. You just feed the narrative. You throw something
- 3:46Speaker 1: out there into the world. You don't bother the fact
- 3:48Speaker 1: check it, or you insist on not fact checking it
- 3:51Speaker 1: because well you can hide behind not fact checking it
- 3:53Speaker 1: down the road. But you have stirred the pot of descent,
- 3:56Speaker 1: and you have supported your own ideological cause by stirring
- 3:59Speaker 1: the pot of descent. That's the goal. It isn't getting
- 4:02Speaker 1: the truth out in the world. It's just to get
- 4:05Speaker 1: you angry and mad and divide you, which is clearly
- 4:08Speaker 1: going on here. So as I stare at the headline,
- 4:09Speaker 1: Arizona Democratic Attorney General blasted for dangerous claim residents can
- 4:15Speaker 1: shoot ice agents under state laws. Well, honestly, that is
- 4:25Speaker 1: kind of the truth. What no, I'm not against ice
- 4:29Speaker 1: doing their job, and I was pleased to see the
- 4:33Speaker 1: one point two trillion dollar spending package we just passed
- 4:36Speaker 1: yesterday out of the House includes twenty million dollars as
- 4:40Speaker 1: paltry as sum as that might be. I suspect that's
- 4:43Speaker 1: enough money to buy the body cameras that are going
- 4:45Speaker 1: to be worn by Immigrations and Customs officers as well
- 4:47Speaker 1: as border patrol officers. You know what, it's a good
- 4:50Speaker 1: thing because those body cameras quite often, I think, more
- 4:55Speaker 1: times than not, prove the officer was right in doing
- 4:59Speaker 1: what they were doing. Oh my god, that person ran over.
- 5:02Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh my god, that person was shot in
- 5:04Speaker 1: the head. She wasn't doing anything. Well, you get the
- 5:07Speaker 1: body camera footage from the officer that was standing in
- 5:09Speaker 1: front of the car. Yeah, you too might have felt
- 5:12Speaker 1: fearful for your life ending given that a four thousand
- 5:15Speaker 1: plus pound vehicle was accelerating at you. Depends upon your perspective.
- 5:21Speaker 1: How about the instant replaying football games? How many times
- 5:24Speaker 1: you got to look at that in a multiple different
- 5:25Speaker 1: angles before they can finally conclude whether or not the
- 5:28Speaker 1: official on the field called it right. Right. Body cameras
- 5:34Speaker 1: good thing. So I'm looking forward to that, and I
- 5:35Speaker 1: hope the officers out there in the world don't have
- 5:37Speaker 1: any problem wearing them. Again, it's more for your protection
- 5:40Speaker 1: than protection of the American public or the illegal immigrant
- 5:43Speaker 1: community for that matter. Anyway. Arizona's Democratic Attorney General Chris
- 5:48Speaker 1: Mays being interviewed by I guess their twelve news anchor,
- 5:54Speaker 1: a guy named Bram Reznik. We'll just give him Crowdit
- 5:57Speaker 1: happened earlier this week, explaining how and under what circumstances
- 6:04Speaker 1: it might be justified to shoot an ice officer. And
- 6:08Speaker 1: the parameters are pretty damn tight as well as they
- 6:13Speaker 1: should wish as they should be. And these parameters no
- 6:17Speaker 1: different from well, the guy breaking into your house that
- 6:20Speaker 1: isn't an ice officer or a police officer anybody. They said,
- 6:27Speaker 1: you know, it's a kind of recipe for disaster because
- 6:30Speaker 1: you have these masked federal officers with very little identifications,
- 6:35Speaker 1: sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks. We have
- 6:41Speaker 1: a standiard ground law they do in Arizona. That's stating
- 6:43Speaker 1: a fact if you reasonably believe your life is in
- 6:49Speaker 1: danger and you're in your house or your car or
- 6:55Speaker 1: on your property, that you can defend yourself with lethal force.
- 7:01Speaker 1: I've been saying this. I mean from an attorney's perspective,
- 7:03Speaker 1: the justification for lethal force force is that eminent reasonable.
- 7:07Speaker 1: This is the most important word, I think in the
- 7:09Speaker 1: entire combination package. If you decided whether to use deadly force,
- 7:13Speaker 1: am I reasonably under the belief that my life is
- 7:16Speaker 1: in peril? Put the it's the reasonable man standard. I
- 7:22Speaker 1: guess they call it reasonable person standard now in the
- 7:24Speaker 1: modern parlance, because we of course have to welcome and
- 7:28Speaker 1: acknowledge that there's more than just a man out there. Fine,
- 7:31Speaker 1: but would anybody else in your circumstance also come to
- 7:37Speaker 1: the conclusion that you are in eminent apprehension of grievous
- 7:39Speaker 1: bodily harm or death. That's the basic standard for use
- 7:43Speaker 1: of force. Now, does that say anything about the person
- 7:46Speaker 1: who has placed you in that peril? Does it say
- 7:50Speaker 1: anything about the whether or not that person who is
- 7:54Speaker 1: representing this concern for your life or who's presented this
- 7:58Speaker 1: concern for your life? Does it say anything about unless
- 8:00Speaker 1: they're wearing a police officer's uniform, or unless they are
- 8:04Speaker 1: a member of law enforcement, or unless fill in the black,
- 8:06Speaker 1: unless and less and less come up in your own
- 8:08Speaker 1: list of qualifiers which take away your right to defend
- 8:11Speaker 1: yourself from grievous bodily harm. The point being, and I'm
- 8:16Speaker 1: with them on this, you know, as bad as it
- 8:19Speaker 1: might be, ICE agents need to have proper identification, which
- 8:23Speaker 1: is the protection from people getting all shooty on them.
- 8:28Speaker 1: It would be unreasonable if you are aware that the
- 8:32Speaker 1: person coming at you because they've got a badge on
- 8:34Speaker 1: them and says ICE on their uniform or whatever the
- 8:37Speaker 1: case may be. I'm not suggesting necessarily have to take
- 8:40Speaker 1: a face mask off, but if they are clearly identified
- 8:44Speaker 1: as a law enforcement officer and they have announced that
- 8:47Speaker 1: they are law and I think that quite often happens,
- 8:50Speaker 1: you know, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, drop the firearm, or
- 8:53Speaker 1: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, we're coming in. We have a
- 8:56Speaker 1: warrant immagery. That's the distinction that's going on here. And
- 9:03Speaker 1: the host says, well, I want to be careful with
- 9:04Speaker 1: that and understand what you're saying, because you know how
- 9:07Speaker 1: that could be interpreted right by putting a dangerous headline
- 9:11Speaker 1: up there. Arizona down blasted for encouraging people to shoot
- 9:14Speaker 1: ICE agents, and that's not what she said, said she
- 9:22Speaker 1: was not directly encouraging individuals to shoot the officers, but said,
- 9:26Speaker 1: if law enforcement couldn't be identified that person who is
- 9:35Speaker 1: making this decision about the use of deadly force, you
- 9:41Speaker 1: have taken away an element of that person to make
- 9:44Speaker 1: a more rational choice. Rationally speaking, it would be unreasonable
- 9:49Speaker 1: to interfere with the law enforcement's duties. It would be
- 9:56Speaker 1: unreasonable for you to shoot someone who is exercise their
- 10:00Speaker 1: authority as a law enforcement office, sir. But in order
- 10:05Speaker 1: to know whether they are or not, they need to
- 10:07Speaker 1: be pre identified as such. I don't want any one
- 10:11Speaker 1: of these ICE agents to get shot, which is why
- 10:13Speaker 1: I'm encouraging them to yes, properly don a uniform or
- 10:16Speaker 1: present appropriate ID identification so you don't get shot. Because yes,
- 10:20Speaker 1: Arizona law does allow you to stay on your ground.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It does allow you to use deadly force when deadly
- 10:25Speaker 1: force is reasonable. Now, the host even said if she
- 10:30Speaker 1: asked if the ag was telling Arizonas to shoot agents,
- 10:34Speaker 1: she responded, well, no, but again, if you're being attacked
- 10:40Speaker 1: by someone who is not identified as a peace officer, how.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Do you know.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody comes at me wearing a mask
- 10:47Speaker 1: by the way, I'm a gun owner and I can't
- 10:49Speaker 1: tell whether or not they're a police officer. What am
- 10:50Speaker 1: I supposed to do? She asked, that's a legitimate point,
- 10:55Speaker 1: and I'll give you personal aneidote about this. My son,
- 10:57Speaker 1: when he was a student at the High State Universe,
- 11:00Speaker 1: he mind his own time. He's got his own apartment
- 11:01Speaker 1: with a roommate. Middle of the night, he was sound
- 11:05Speaker 1: asleep in his bed, three o'clock in the morning roughly,
- 11:08Speaker 1: if I recall correctly. He wakes up and there is
- 11:10Speaker 1: a blank and police officer in his room. And he
- 11:12Speaker 1: didn't know as a police officer. Why no badge, no uniform,
- 11:15Speaker 1: plane clothes, had a windbreaker on standing in his bedroom.
- 11:21Speaker 1: No warrant, They just entered the house. Why Apparently the
- 11:24Speaker 1: next they told him the next door neighbor's house got robbed,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and they just sort of guessed that maybe my son
- 11:31Speaker 1: and his roommate might have been involved with it. No,
- 11:37Speaker 1: no probable cause, no warrant, entering a home without the
- 11:40Speaker 1: proper authorization, no announcement ahead of time. Hey it's law enforcement,
- 11:44Speaker 1: we're coming in. Nothing. And I had a conversation with
- 11:49Speaker 1: the police department. I said, are you guys out of
- 11:50Speaker 1: your mind. He's an adult. He could have owned a firearm.
- 11:54Speaker 1: And you know, if it's me waking up in the
- 11:56Speaker 1: middle of night with a at three o'clock in the morning,
- 11:58Speaker 1: with a person standing in the middle of the room
- 12:00Speaker 1: not wearing a badge or a uniform or announcing themselves
- 12:03Speaker 1: of saying, don't don't get out of hand, man, it's
- 12:05Speaker 1: just me. I'm a law enforcement officer, then I would
- 12:08Speaker 1: have shot him because it would have been reasonable for
- 12:13Speaker 1: me to fear for my life. What the hell is
- 12:14Speaker 1: the stranger doing to my bedroom at three o'clock in
- 12:16Speaker 1: the morning. You can balance these interests. But you know,
- 12:22Speaker 1: in this world of reporting, oh my god, the Democratic
- 12:25Speaker 1: Attorney General is telling people to shoot ice officers. No,
- 12:27Speaker 1: And I thought, actually she had a pregush darning a
- 12:29Speaker 1: good job of explaining what the state of the law
- 12:32Speaker 1: is and maybe suggesting the ice Because of the state
- 12:37Speaker 1: of the law, it's extremely important for you to make
- 12:40Speaker 1: yourself known so you don't get hurt and you don't
- 12:45Speaker 1: have to run back into court and make the reasonable argument,
- 12:53Speaker 1: you know. And I got to criticize the Republican running
- 12:54Speaker 1: against this maze person. Rodney Glassman wants the age job,
- 12:58Speaker 1: claiming she is openly are you suggesting how to kill
- 13:01Speaker 1: ice officers and avoid prosecution under Arizona stand your ground law? No,
- 13:05Speaker 1: I assure you, if you shoot one of these folks,
- 13:07Speaker 1: you're gonna be in court and you're gonna have to
- 13:09Speaker 1: explain to the judge and the jury why it is
- 13:13Speaker 1: that what you did was reasonable. If that officer was
- 13:15Speaker 1: properly identified, had a uniform on, a badge, on anything
- 13:19Speaker 1: like that, you are no longer in safe territory. You
- 13:23Speaker 1: are in unreasonable land, and you will be prosecuted for it.

- 14:06Speaker 1: and the film New Hampshire Gary. Happy Friday to you, brother.
- 14:08Speaker 1: I just got a I thought it was rather interesting
- 14:12Speaker 1: and I had to ask you if you know him.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I received a Facebook and some message from a guy
- 14:18Speaker 1: named Kirk who apparently lives in your neck of the woods.
- 14:21Speaker 1: He's a fellow New Hampshire native and residence. So I
- 14:25Speaker 1: really get a kick out of folks who listen to
- 14:26Speaker 1: other states in my program. It's just awesome. New Hampshire, Gary,
- 14:29Speaker 1: welcome back.
- 14:31Speaker 5: Well, well, thank you, Brian. No, but welcome. Welcome to
- 14:37Speaker 5: the club there, Kirk.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yes, let's have a dialogue. He's from Hua.
- 14:42Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I live less than ten miles away from Nashville.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Maybe. Yeah, it looks like based on his head gear,
- 14:49Speaker 1: looks like he's a member of the American military or
- 14:51Speaker 1: otherwise had served at some point in his life. But anyway, you.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Know what, we could start the club. I could have
- 15:00Speaker 5: a fellowship up here for following, Brian, have a monthly
- 15:06Speaker 5: meeting for a loan.
- 15:08Speaker 1: That would be great. And you know, only have you
- 15:10Speaker 1: you in New Hampshire. Maybe we can get Mississippi James,
- 15:13Speaker 1: a former coalition And then I got my friend Maureen
- 15:16Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of displaced Cincinnatians who live in Cincinnati,
- 15:20Speaker 1: South i e. Naples area of Florida, South Florida, and
- 15:24Speaker 1: quite a few folks down there listening as well. So
- 15:26Speaker 1: I'd shout out to every single one of you. All
- 15:28Speaker 1: right anyway, But getting a Harry eyeball from Joe on time,
- 15:31Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Gary, what is on your mind? What drove
- 15:33Speaker 1: you to call me this morning?
- 15:35Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just gonna take you on a little. I
- 15:37Speaker 5: still love you, but I'm still gonna take you on
- 15:40Speaker 5: what I see, what's going on the way you explain
- 15:44Speaker 5: shooting Ice or at least self defense, okay was reasonable
- 15:50Speaker 5: and expected. But what we really see with the attacks
- 15:54Speaker 5: on Ice, we see a bomb and I'm gonna call
- 15:57Speaker 5: him a bomb thrower. But they used to be called breakers,
- 16:01Speaker 5: and they're trying to get confusion and people upset more
- 16:06Speaker 5: so that more people attack Ice.
- 16:09Speaker 1: All this crime. Only attacking Ice is a crime, and
- 16:14Speaker 1: you will get arrested for attacking Ice. And this is
- 16:16Speaker 1: not some sort of you know, justification for engaging in
- 16:21Speaker 1: interference with law enforcement. The point being for me is
- 16:24Speaker 1: if you're a damn ice agent or you're a police officer,
- 16:27Speaker 1: identify yourself and you can't get shot, or if they
- 16:30Speaker 1: do get shot, that person is going to go to
- 16:31Speaker 1: prison for manslaughter at minimum.
- 16:34Speaker 5: Okay. My whole thing is if they would have explained
- 16:37Speaker 5: it that way, then it would have been totally reasonable.
- 16:40Speaker 1: That's what she did. Well, I just quoted her.
- 16:45Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think just by throwing this out that
- 16:49Speaker 5: she's trying to throw a bomb and going, hey, you
- 16:53Speaker 5: know people who some of these people are not reasonable.
- 16:56Speaker 5: They're not clearly they're or less useful idiots. Now that
- 17:02Speaker 5: mean that mean way, but they really are. And you
- 17:05Speaker 5: know they're running over ice, their docting ice, they're going
- 17:08Speaker 5: around chasing ice with their cars breaking.
- 17:12Speaker 1: I can't andy into that, Gary, And all of that
- 17:14Speaker 1: is unlawful activity, and none of it involves unidentified ICE officers.
- 17:19Speaker 1: They see them coming a mile away, They know dan
- 17:21Speaker 1: well who the harassing and who they are committing crimes
- 17:24Speaker 1: against while harassing them. It is an isolated specific topic
- 17:29Speaker 1: that this ag was asked about by the interviewer. Under
- 17:34Speaker 1: what circumstances might be castle doctor and or standard ground
- 17:37Speaker 1: law apply and does it apply in the case of
- 17:39Speaker 1: an ice agent. The answer, simply and plainly, although there
- 17:42Speaker 1: were more words used, is if they've identified themselves, if
- 17:45Speaker 1: they if the person who's claiming to be using reasonable
- 17:50Speaker 1: force knew that the person was an ICE officer, then no,
- 17:52Speaker 1: you can't shoot them. That would falls into the category
- 17:55Speaker 1: of unreasonable. That's the state of the law. I'm just
- 17:58Speaker 1: bringing it out because yes, the headline, I'm oh my god,
- 18:01Speaker 1: I can't believe the ag did this looks like it's
- 18:04Speaker 1: yet another illustration of them stirring the pot. But sometimes
- 18:10Speaker 1: it isn't, and there may be a little bit of
- 18:13Speaker 1: it in there, but at least the law was properly explained,
- 18:15Speaker 1: as I understand. If five twenty seven right now, stick
- 18:17Speaker 1: around local stories, more phone calls either way, we got
- 18:19Speaker 1: to stack of stupid coming up as well.
- 18:21Speaker 6: Fifty five KRC the football postseason.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Then talk stations by thirty one. Are you prepared for
- 18:34Speaker 1: snowm again? Kind of funny, gonna go dribble to the
- 18:38Speaker 1: phone at some point some more predicting snow as much
- 18:41Speaker 1: as what twenty five inches? You know, it depends on
- 18:44Speaker 1: which point in the week and which weathersite. Talking to
- 18:47Speaker 1: my poor mom the other day, she was just trying
- 18:49Speaker 1: to get a p accurate weather forecast and looking at
- 18:51Speaker 1: different apps and everything, and she said every different site
- 18:54Speaker 1: I went to there was a different temperature and a
- 18:56Speaker 1: different expectation for snow. Actually wrote there's local story on
- 19:00Speaker 1: that timing adjustments for snowstorm this weekend. It's like one
- 19:05Speaker 1: day they say we're going to get one to three inches,
- 19:07Speaker 1: the next day they say we're going to get twenty three.
- 19:08Speaker 1: So anyway, we're somewhere beuteen, I guess still six and
- 19:12Speaker 1: eight and a little bit of movement in the weather
- 19:15Speaker 1: pattern apparently impacts the snowfall dramatically. So say it's the meteorologist.
- 19:19Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 19:20Speaker 1: It looks like alchemy to me, but we'll deal with it. Tom,
- 19:22Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show, Tom one. There's Tom two
- 19:24Speaker 1: on the phone. Hold on other Tom, welcome back and
- 19:27Speaker 1: happy Friday.
- 19:29Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. I'm just I'm pretty sure I'm wanna
- 19:32Speaker 7: be able to get home from Indianapolis today.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's gonna a problem.
- 19:38Speaker 7: As long as I get home today and we get
- 19:40Speaker 7: we get hunkered down, then bring on the snow and
- 19:44Speaker 7: then it'd be done. That way I could dig myself
- 19:46Speaker 7: out and get back to work next week. Oh really no,
- 19:49Speaker 7: but you know, time, as we've discussed, timing is everything.
- 19:54Speaker 7: This article, you talk about this, this interview with that
- 19:58Speaker 7: person from Arizona. I'm actually the more I listen to this,
- 20:02Speaker 7: the more I'm I'm seeing fault with the media person
- 20:06Speaker 7: bringing it up the way they did the head though.
- 20:08Speaker 7: Whoever wrote the headline, Come on, that's where you need
- 20:12Speaker 7: to use some common sense. You can't put a headline
- 20:15Speaker 7: out there like that because how many people out there actually,
- 20:18Speaker 7: oh wait a minute, let me read this article, let
- 20:20Speaker 7: me dig into this, let me research this and see
- 20:22Speaker 7: what actually was said. No, they just look at the article.
- 20:24Speaker 7: We just roll through headlines, you know what I mean.
- 20:27Speaker 7: So that was that was definitely irresponsible. I think.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like, it's like the headline about the Ice
- 20:32Speaker 1: agents nabbing and and and and arresting a five year old.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is insane, this poor five year old.
- 20:39Speaker 1: And you read the headline and ilean Omar goes out
- 20:41Speaker 1: and tells the entire world that Ice is kicking indoors,
- 20:43Speaker 1: going after five year olds, and as it turns out, Nope,
- 20:46Speaker 1: it was dad who's the illegal immigrant trying to run
- 20:49Speaker 1: away from the ice officers. He left the kid in
- 20:51Speaker 1: the car, left him, abandoned the five year old the
- 20:54Speaker 1: ice age. It was merely holding onto the five year
- 20:56Speaker 1: old till a responsible adult could pick them up.
- 20:59Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, nobody cares about the details. That just
- 21:03Speaker 7: care about as soon as they get a headline that
- 21:06Speaker 7: can that can help their side of the story, that's
- 21:08Speaker 7: all they cares see.
- 21:09Speaker 1: And that's why I actually was defending what the Democrat
- 21:12Speaker 1: Attorney General had to say because it was an accurate
- 21:14Speaker 1: recitation of the law. Yes, you could find fault with
- 21:17Speaker 1: the interviewer who brought the whole topic up, and you
- 21:19Speaker 1: can find fault with Preston Mizzle from Fox News for
- 21:22Speaker 1: creating the headline. But you know what headlines generate clicks.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Clicks are what it's all about, and that's all that
- 21:28Speaker 1: matters in this world.
- 21:30Speaker 7: Well, I am to finish off this phone call. I
- 21:33Speaker 7: want to congratulate Joe on thirty years, and I want
- 21:37Speaker 7: to congratulate you on twenty years. And of course I
- 21:40Speaker 7: have now six years in radio, so six years I'm
- 21:45Speaker 7: talking to the voters and pleading with them. Don't vote Democrat.
- 21:50Speaker 7: Hope everybody survives the weekend. Talk to you.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Monday, and then Tom, I share your sentiment in that
- 21:55Speaker 1: regard five two three talking rather than draw Harry Eyeball
- 22:00Speaker 1: look from Joe Streker. I'm a ticket early slightly early
- 22:03Speaker 1: break Tom two not to relegate your status to secondary
- 22:08Speaker 1: beyond the Friday the prior Tom. I'll take your call
- 22:10Speaker 1: as soon as we get back from this.
- 22:11Speaker 6: Brief words fifty five KRC. Now that a new year
- 22:15Speaker 6: is here, start twenty fourth station.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Can you play John the Fisherman.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Five point thirty nine Yes, Happy Friday? Five one three, seven,
- 22:25Speaker 1: eight two three talk Pound Fay fifty on eight and
- 22:27Speaker 1: T phone Brian Thomas right here, looking forward to talking
- 22:29Speaker 1: to folks. Of course, got to stack as stupid in
- 22:32Speaker 1: front of me after telephone calls by first.
- 22:41Speaker 4: Nag.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Joe's got it out of his system on a Friday.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Thank you Tom for holding over the break there. Welcome
- 22:46Speaker 1: to the Morning Show.
- 22:47Speaker 8: Happy Friday, Happy Friday to you too. So I got
- 22:51Speaker 8: a question here if you're here on a temporary work
- 22:54Speaker 8: visa or student visa, or you've overstayed one and.
- 22:59Speaker 4: You have up.
- 23:01Speaker 9: Celenadies or anything like that.
- 23:03Speaker 7: Obviously, you probably haven't passed the background check to own
- 23:06Speaker 7: a firearm, So I don't see how you could shoot
- 23:08Speaker 7: somebody if you're not supposed to have a firearm in
- 23:11Speaker 7: the first place.
- 23:11Speaker 1: You misunderstood the topic, Tommy, misunderstood the topic. I'm talking
- 23:15Speaker 1: about a US citizen in their home, in their car,
- 23:17Speaker 1: on property where they're allowed to use a deadly force
- 23:22Speaker 1: to protect from reasonable apprehension of griever's bodily harm. The
- 23:26Speaker 1: status of lawful firearm ownership did not come up in
- 23:30Speaker 1: the conversation with the Attorney General. Now, if you're not
- 23:33Speaker 1: lawfully entitled to use a firearm, that may become a
- 23:36Speaker 1: factor and whether or not it was appropriate to use
- 23:38Speaker 1: deadly force. My view of life is if my life
- 23:41Speaker 1: is under threat, whether or not it's lawful for me
- 23:43Speaker 1: to own a firearm. It was like when I lived
- 23:45Speaker 1: in Oak Park, Illinois, illegal to own a handgun in
- 23:48Speaker 1: ill Oak Park, Illinois? Who owned one? Anyway me? I
- 23:51Speaker 1: was willing to face the penalty of whatever was going
- 23:53Speaker 1: to befall me if I had got caught with a
- 23:55Speaker 1: firearm and shot someone who was trying to maybe rape
- 23:58Speaker 1: my wife or kill me. You know, it's kind of
- 24:01Speaker 1: a balancing test. There so nothing said about the status
- 24:06Speaker 1: of the person squeezing the trigger. It's the circumstances whether
- 24:10Speaker 1: or not deadly force is justified. That was the only
- 24:13Speaker 1: thing that the ag was discussing. That it that must
- 24:18Speaker 1: have been it. Feel free to chime in on the topic.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight
- 24:23Speaker 1: hundred eight two to three dog found five fifty on
- 24:25Speaker 1: eighteen and funds. Let's see here. Well, let's start in Ohio.
- 24:34Speaker 1: It's quite a delicate article that I got to do
- 24:36Speaker 1: with here in the status too. But ohiowoman sentenced the
- 24:38Speaker 1: thirty years to life behind bars in a case involving
- 24:45Speaker 1: bestiality and children. Sean and Mayfield and her husband Justin Mayfield,

- 25:14Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, had pleaded guilty in the child
- 25:16Speaker 1: rape and pornography beastiality case. Go back to June twenty
- 25:22Speaker 1: twenty three investigation involving Warren police acting on a child
- 25:24Speaker 1: porn cyber tip given by the Cuyahoga Task Force. Two
- 25:29Speaker 1: minor victims age three and seven involved in the sex

- 25:55Speaker 1: to be cooperating with a prosecutor testify against him, who
- 25:57Speaker 1: is facing similar charges double Winter. This morning, Fishers also
- 26:04Speaker 1: satator sentencing. She'd be declared a Tier three sex offenders.
- 26:06Speaker 1: I meant so if she's released from prison after this
- 26:09Speaker 1: life sentence, good luck on that woman. Husband pleaded guilty
- 26:12Speaker 1: to rape and one kind of dissemination of obscene material
- 26:15Speaker 1: to minors sentence forty years of life, also must register
- 26:19Speaker 1: as a sex offender. During sentencing, Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice
- 26:24Speaker 1: quote I find that the victims have suffered serious psychological
- 26:28Speaker 1: harm at your hands. You used your relationship with the
- 26:31Speaker 1: victims to facilitate this offense, Prosecutor's office said. Wildman had
- 26:37Speaker 1: said said this case was one of the most egregious
- 26:40Speaker 1: he has seen. Instead, there's a mountain of evidence, including
- 26:43Speaker 1: statements from others and text messages where the couple allegedly
- 26:47Speaker 1: both did about abusing their children. Let them have it,
- 26:51Speaker 1: Joe Jack.

- 35:03Speaker 1: twenty five inches, which is earlier in the week they said.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Maybe still looking like maybe six to ten inches accumulation
- 35:09Speaker 1: depending upon where you stand. But all the meteorologists pointing out,
- 35:12Speaker 1: you know, on a moment's notice that as inches could
- 35:14Speaker 1: change to well maybe feet or not arrive at all.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Why the word alchemy comes to mind and David, thank
- 35:23Speaker 1: you very much. Defending the harp from the stack is stupid, Larry,
- 35:27Speaker 1: hold on one second. I said, an't even know they
- 35:30Speaker 1: made harps anymore. So he said, wait a second Creative
- 35:34Speaker 1: of Performing Arts, where I taught for thirty years, is
- 35:36Speaker 1: a very active harp program. Rich people sometimes like to
- 35:39Speaker 1: hear harp music at rich people functions. You got to
- 35:44Speaker 1: chuck a lot of some naked guy stole a harp
- 35:49Speaker 1: and then jumped into a river. So that was the
- 35:50Speaker 1: genesis of that. If you're just tuning in, I know,
- 35:53Speaker 1: Friday and Stack is stupid trying to have some fun.
- 35:56Speaker 1: So my response, well, I was kind of joking about
- 35:59Speaker 1: the harps of the Again. I don't think you get
- 36:00Speaker 1: invited to rich people functions, and if that's what goes
- 36:03Speaker 1: on at those events, I would not be inclined to
- 36:06Speaker 1: attend them anyway. Larry, thank you for calling the Morning show,
- 36:10Speaker 1: and very happy Friday to you, sir.
- 36:13Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, thank you about that harp story. Part of
- 36:18Speaker 9: that you read, part of that you read sound like
- 36:20Speaker 9: a country song. It said he left the harp and
- 36:23Speaker 9: the park and he jumped in the water.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Larry, I'll tell you what here, I am making your
- 36:29Speaker 1: request of joe'st record. Joe Strecker, go to chat ept
- 36:32Speaker 1: type that in as the suggested song lyric. Build a
- 36:35Speaker 1: song around what Larry just suggested. That's great, Larry, appreciate you. Uh,
- 36:40Speaker 1: you're working with me on the comedy side of a Friday, right, okay?
- 36:45Speaker 9: And also, how did County Village not how could that
- 36:50Speaker 9: guy nob got charged with he was there, all those
- 36:54Speaker 9: shops were barred. Apparently he was there because they arrested.
- 36:57Speaker 9: Could you explain to me how something like that could
- 36:59Speaker 9: happen to get off like that. You know what I'm
- 37:02Speaker 9: talking about.
- 37:05Speaker 1: She's you know, I really apologize. You're catching me off guard.
- 37:08Speaker 1: We got all these controversial stories about cases getting dismissed
- 37:11Speaker 1: or people getting retrials, and it's all become a factual
- 37:14Speaker 1: blur for me. So that's going to be tough for
- 37:16Speaker 1: me to to jump on top of that one competently, Larry.
- 37:19Speaker 9: So it was back in June. It happened back in June,
- 37:22Speaker 9: and he got the charge.
- 37:24Speaker 1: It would drop that was the one that was the
- 37:27Speaker 1: one that had gone already gone up on appeal and
- 37:30Speaker 1: come back. And they were talking about suppression of evidence
- 37:32Speaker 1: or not produce the prosecutors didn't provide all the evidence
- 37:34Speaker 1: over the defense that council. Is that the case you're
- 37:36Speaker 1: talking about, I think so, yeah, yeah, Well I will
- 37:40Speaker 1: acknowledge it was a pretty complicated matter, and I did
- 37:42Speaker 1: scratch my head a little bit considering the disposition from
- 37:45Speaker 1: some of the other courts who'd reviewed the case. So
- 37:48Speaker 1: it's all I can suggest is it's maybe just a
- 37:51Speaker 1: little bit more complicated. Then they just let the guy go.
- 37:55Speaker 1: I'm not sure if there was any prosecutory on misconduct.
- 37:58Speaker 1: I mean, they do have an obligation to provide the
- 38:00Speaker 1: defense council with anything related to the crime, most notably
- 38:03Speaker 1: any evidence that might indicate that the person being prosecuted
- 38:08Speaker 1: is innocent of the crime otherwise didn't have anything to
- 38:10Speaker 1: do with it. There was a suggestion that some of
- 38:12Speaker 1: that evidence was withheld, but the way I read the
- 38:14Speaker 1: article that had been reviewed by an Appella court and note,
- 38:17Speaker 1: there was nothing in the so called withheld evidence that
- 38:19Speaker 1: had any relationship to the defendant who was on trial,
- 38:22Speaker 1: the one who was ultimately released. So apologies, Larry, I
- 38:26Speaker 1: really can't manage that one. This morning. If I had
- 38:29Speaker 1: the reporting on it, I probably could refresh my recollection
- 38:33Speaker 1: and give you more sound advice. So sorry to let
- 38:35Speaker 1: you down this morning, Larry. I hate having to do that.
- 38:40Speaker 1: The harp song is already in my email. Oh that's hilarry, Larry,
- 38:43Speaker 1: thank you very much for that one. I can't It
- 38:51Speaker 1: is Friday. Down on Mill Creek Road, by the water
- 38:57Speaker 1: tower light. Friday night was humming neon, buzzing white old Hanks,
- 39:01Speaker 1: tavern jukebox, crying steel guitar. When a stranger hit the
- 39:06Speaker 1: doorway like a falling star. He had river in his eyes,
- 39:10Speaker 1: trouble in his grin. Said I'll trade you all my
- 39:13Speaker 1: luck for one more wind. Then the music stopped dead,
- 39:15Speaker 1: like a screen door slam. He made a beeline for
- 39:18Speaker 1: the stage and the church golden stand. He stole a harp.
- 39:23Speaker 1: This is the chorus. I won't read the entire thing,
- 39:25Speaker 1: but here's the chorus. He stole a harp, Lord stole
- 39:28Speaker 1: it clean, slipped past the smoke and the kerosene boots
- 39:31Speaker 1: hit the floor. A crowd went wild, Mama crossed herself,
- 39:34Speaker 1: Daddy just smiled. He stripped down to nothing but a
- 39:38Speaker 1: rebel shiver, moon on his back, jumped straight in the river. Yeah,
- 39:42Speaker 1: some folks run, Some folks starve that night a man
- 39:46Speaker 1: stole a harp. I'm telling you that anyway, pivoting over
- 39:54Speaker 1: to something that I was complaining about. I can't remember
- 39:56Speaker 1: how recently it was. It was fairly recently, but it's
- 39:58Speaker 1: still stinging, and I still feel like I'm kind of
- 40:01Speaker 1: walking funny talking about my Duke energy bill. Well, thank God,
- 40:05Speaker 1: and I'll give wcpo's John Matteie credit for reporting on it.
- 40:08Speaker 1: I guess he's come to the conclusion of why my
- 40:11Speaker 1: energy bill and so many others and folks that he
- 40:13Speaker 1: talked to went through the blanket roof. It's the delivery charge.
- 40:19Speaker 1: Nothing to see here, just the delivery charge, folks. Apparently
- 40:24Speaker 1: I'm not only the one any rights. While December and
- 40:28Speaker 1: January's frigid temperaters have led to increased energy usage, customers
- 40:32Speaker 1: are discovering that delivery charges fees that many assumed were
- 40:36Speaker 1: fix are also contributing significantly to the monthly bill. He
- 40:41Speaker 1: interviewed Kathy Devillis of Mainville. Good morning, Kathy. Her bill
- 40:44Speaker 1: tripled in one month. Mine didn't quite triple, but it
- 40:47Speaker 1: did jump by about a third or more. Claremont County
- 40:53Speaker 1: resident that John interviewed gentleman by the name of Michael
- 40:56Speaker 1: said he received a three hundred dollars bill deliver one
- 41:01Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one dollars. He also under the presumption
- 41:06Speaker 1: that those delivery fees were fixed, not usage based, but fixed.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Apparently that's not correct. So you have the supply gas
- 41:14Speaker 1: and electricity that is one component the cost of delivering
- 41:17Speaker 1: through the pipes and the wires, and then you got
- 41:19Speaker 1: other writers and taxes which all end up being a
- 41:22Speaker 1: smaller portion of the bill. But how much energy you
- 41:25Speaker 1: use the supply side depends on your provider, right. You
- 41:28Speaker 1: get to choose providers, and we get this letter every year.
- 41:30Speaker 1: You know, Sim's township has decided to go with this one.
- 41:32Speaker 1: If you like to opt out and go with something else,
- 41:34Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. So you can choose,
- 41:37Speaker 1: And there's actually, I guess a site where you can
- 41:40Speaker 1: go to do an Apples Apples comparison on the price
- 41:45Speaker 1: of the underlying electricity or gas that would be the
- 41:49Speaker 1: high public utility commissions Apples to Apple's website. There is
- 41:53Speaker 1: I guess that's out there. You can search for it
- 41:55Speaker 1: and find it to find out maybe you can save
- 41:56Speaker 1: some money on your provider. But in terms of the delivery,
- 42:00Speaker 1: it sucks to be you, I guess because Duke says
- 42:02Speaker 1: it's based upon usage court to High Public Utilities Commission.
- 42:07Speaker 1: That's you know, it's contrary to what customers believe, but
- 42:11Speaker 1: it's true. So John spoke with Matt Schilling, the spokesman
- 42:14Speaker 1: for the for PUCO. Based on distribution rates are also
- 42:17Speaker 1: a usage based charge since you're using Duke's wires and
- 42:21Speaker 1: pipelines more during cold months. Now, this is where I
- 42:25Speaker 1: call foul because I looked at how much I consumed
- 42:28Speaker 1: in gas and electricity the same calendar month last year,
- 42:33Speaker 1: almost identical, So I didn't go off the charge with
- 42:37Speaker 1: consumption of more electricity and more gas essentially and apples
- 42:41Speaker 1: to apple comparison last year and this year during the
- 42:45Speaker 1: same billing cycle, How in the hell do my bill
- 42:47Speaker 1: go up basically by about a third?
- 42:49Speaker 5: And is it?
- 42:50Speaker 1: And I guess if there an engineer out there can
- 42:52Speaker 1: explain to me, please, if I use more electricity during
- 43:00Speaker 1: a given month, it's coming through the same transmission wires, right,
- 43:05Speaker 1: I'm paying for the volume of electricity that I'm using.
- 43:08Speaker 1: But does it put more stress? Does it wear the
- 43:11Speaker 1: grid out more? With me using more or is that
- 43:15Speaker 1: once built a static cost other than you know, obviously
- 43:18Speaker 1: maintenance and upkeep. I would like to think, and it
- 43:22Speaker 1: seems logical and reasonable that if you put you know,
- 43:24Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty megawatts through something, or you put
- 43:28Speaker 1: one hundred megawatts through something, that it's not going to
- 43:30Speaker 1: take tear apart the delivery equipment, the transmission lines. I'm
- 43:35Speaker 1: not causing additional wear and tear on those component parts,
- 43:38Speaker 1: which is the only thing in my mind it was
- 43:40Speaker 1: justify this sliding scale for the delivery cost. Why isn't
- 43:44Speaker 1: it a fixed delivery charge? Don't know, Peace of God,
- 43:48Speaker 1: but at least they at least offered an opportunity. Thanks
- 43:51Speaker 1: John Matterieves for explaining why we're all guarding our loins
- 43:54Speaker 1: waiting for the next bill to show up, which I'm
- 43:56Speaker 1: sure is going to be outrageous, And don't forget thank
- 44:01Speaker 1: you to the Green New Deal and energy policies like that.
- 44:03Speaker 1: That bill's just going to continue to go up. Laws.
- 44:06Speaker 1: The supplying demand also impact that. Ask our friends in
- 44:09Speaker 1: the northeast part of the country how they like dealing
- 44:12Speaker 1: with more demand than there is energy, And you can
- 44:16Speaker 1: ask pretty much anybody who's in the European Union the
- 44:18Speaker 1: same question, most notably, talk to your German friends about
- 44:21Speaker 1: how well that works out? Six sixteen right now, if
- 44:24Speaker 1: you five KRC, the talk station the best in the business,
- 44:26Speaker 1: Fasten pro Roofing Fasten six one at fifty five KRC
- 44:36Speaker 1: the talk station. Love my Fridays, even if it's a
- 44:39Speaker 1: snowy weekend, David, Yeah, just Strecker's going to be heading
- 44:50Speaker 1: off to Kruger as well. All the fixtures online of
- 44:55Speaker 1: empty store shelves is like, I don't know anyhow, uh.
- 44:59Speaker 1: Talking earlier, it's more about sensational ass headlines, and mine
- 45:02Speaker 1: was in the context of the Arizona Attorneys General talking
- 45:04Speaker 1: about these circumstances which justify the use of deadly force
- 45:07Speaker 1: in the context because the interviewer aster of ice enforcement officers. Now,
- 45:12Speaker 1: they're like anybody else. But as long as they have
- 45:14Speaker 1: identified themselves and they are known to the general public
- 45:17Speaker 1: to be a member of law enforcement, then that takes
- 45:21Speaker 1: away your argument that it's a reasonable use of deadly
- 45:23Speaker 1: force if you think your life is in peril because
- 45:25Speaker 1: of an ice officer. Now, I was just viewing it
- 45:27Speaker 1: from the perspective of maybe an agitator US citizen who
- 45:30Speaker 1: might take up armed because someone is approaching them in
- 45:33Speaker 1: a well threatening manner. But to the caller who said, well,
- 45:38Speaker 1: what about an illegal immigrant who's not entitle to have
- 45:40Speaker 1: a firearm, I believe that be an independent charge. Deadly
- 45:44Speaker 1: force may be justified for that individual based upon the
- 45:46Speaker 1: circumstances that offered, But they still would be charged for
- 45:50Speaker 1: possession unlawful possession of a firearm. I think one can
- 45:53Speaker 1: exist without the other, and that is a legal speculation
- 45:56Speaker 1: on my part. But the broader point was, you know,
- 46:01Speaker 1: I believe fully and again I'm proud and happy that
- 46:04Speaker 1: our elected officials passed that one point two trillion dollar
- 46:08Speaker 1: spending bill yesterday included some money to provide those officers
- 46:10Speaker 1: with cameras. I think that's worked out through police officers
- 46:14Speaker 1: advantage across this great land of ours. But going back
- 46:17Speaker 1: to the sensationalist headline, and that's what you came away with,
- 46:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Attorney General is encouraging people to
- 46:22Speaker 1: shoot ice officers. That is not what she said. But
- 46:26Speaker 1: going over to this insensationalist headline, yes, read a headline
- 46:30Speaker 1: eleon Omar does, and then she just parrots it like
- 46:32Speaker 1: it's gospel truth and doesn't bother looking back into the details.
- 46:36Speaker 1: This five year old boy detained in Minnesota Ice. Oh
- 46:39Speaker 1: my god, they're out of control, eleon Omar. A bunch
- 46:46Speaker 1: of leftists out there. Outlets including NPR, Star Tribune, Washington
- 46:50Speaker 1: Post all amplifying the hoax, alleging that ICE detained a
- 46:57Speaker 1: five year old child during an arrest operation in minnesot
- 47:00Speaker 1: ain't what happened, but it sure makes for great headlines,
- 47:04Speaker 1: doesn't it. Oh my god, he's evil. Ice people. Incident
- 47:09Speaker 1: ultimately was proven to involve ICE officers protecting the five
- 47:13Speaker 1: year old after his illegal immigrant father abandoned him while
- 47:16Speaker 1: fleeing arrest. Officers approached Adrian Alexander konekol Arias, reportedly an
- 47:23Speaker 1: illegal alien from Ecuador who had been released in the
- 47:25Speaker 1: United States about a Biden administration despite his unlawful status
- 47:30Speaker 1: ordered to be deported by a federal judge while driving
- 47:33Speaker 1: his five year old son. When the agents attempted to
- 47:35Speaker 1: arrest him, instead of complying, he got out and or
- 47:37Speaker 1: fled on foot, abandoning his own child in the vehicle.
- 47:42Speaker 1: For the child safety, ICE officers remained, or at least
- 47:44Speaker 1: one remained with him while others apprehended Arius. But of
- 47:48Speaker 1: course you can't have something like this sit There's really
- 47:54Speaker 1: literally nothing to see here, nothing whatsoever. No one detained
- 48:00Speaker 1: the five year old. Their obligation is to make sure
- 48:02Speaker 1: that that five year old, or anybody else under those
- 48:05Speaker 1: circumstances are placed with a responsible guardian and ultimately chosen
- 48:10Speaker 1: I guess by the parent. Yeah, parents asked if they
- 48:14Speaker 1: want to be removed with their children. First, you want
- 48:16Speaker 1: your five year old to go with you to your
- 48:18Speaker 1: country of origin? No, okay, Then we will pursue into
- 48:22Speaker 1: the processes in place place the child with the safe
- 48:25Speaker 1: person that you designate, and that's consistent with prior administration's
- 48:32Speaker 1: immigration enforcement as well. So nobody gave Barack Obama a
- 48:35Speaker 1: hard time for deporting literally millions and millions, using the
- 48:39Speaker 1: services of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement while doing so. Not
- 48:43Speaker 1: a word. What's changed over the past four administrations? Right,
- 48:49Speaker 1: evil Orange Man is now President Erico. Anything he does,
- 48:52Speaker 1: even if it was one hundred percent approved, sanction and
- 48:54Speaker 1: utilized by a prior administration, Republican or Democrat, it's automatically
- 48:58Speaker 1: bad and evil and we need to protest it. This
- 49:02Speaker 1: is how crazy Trump arrangement syndrome is six twenty six.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Right now, if you have KRCD talk station, let's get
- 49:08Speaker 1: some tech news coming up. Interrust its Dave had it
- 49:11Speaker 1: with tech Friday after I mentioned Foreign Exchange. Great place
- 49:14Speaker 1: to get your car serviced. Why you're the talk station
- 49:19Speaker 1: fift about CARCD Talks Station. Brian Thomas right here, always
- 49:21Speaker 1: looking forward to this moment in time during the fifty
- 49:23Speaker 1: five krc Morning Show, because it's time for Tech Friday,
- 49:27Speaker 1: brought to you sponsored by a great company. Asked the
- 49:29Speaker 1: business courier, who's the best in the business in terms
- 49:32Speaker 1: of dealing with businesses computer needs and get the amount of
- 49:35Speaker 1: troubles It's in trust It That is Dave Hatter's company.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Intrust dot com is where you find them online. Welcome back,
- 49:41Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. And your name came up like eight times
- 49:43Speaker 1: yesterday talking to my mom having more struggles with apps.
- 49:47Speaker 1: Mom thinks absolu the answer, and I just said, listen,
- 49:50Speaker 1: just start for the proposition you are at a technological disadvantage.
- 49:54Speaker 1: You don't understand the tech. And then couple with the
- 49:57Speaker 1: fact that there is a giant cluster of either crime
- 50:00Speaker 1: or nefarious types out there that want to try to
- 50:02Speaker 1: exploit you one way or another, either by stealing your
- 50:04Speaker 1: money or getting your data. That's what apps help them do.
- 50:07Speaker 1: Don't do it, I mean, just don't do it. It's
- 50:12Speaker 1: a simple default rule. I said. Unless you can come
- 50:14Speaker 1: up with enough pros for downloading the app that negate
- 50:18Speaker 1: those two starting points, then it's probably not worth it.
- 50:24Speaker 11: Well, first off, as always, thanks for having me on.
- 50:26Speaker 11: And the secondarily, you know, I agree with your basic premise.
- 50:30Speaker 11: You know, I tell people this all the time, despite
- 50:32Speaker 11: thirty years in tech, more than twenty five years as
- 50:35Speaker 11: a programmer building software apps. If you will, I have
- 50:39Speaker 11: the minimum number of apps on my phone. I have
- 50:41Speaker 11: an Apple phone. Apple tends to be more privacy and
- 50:44Speaker 11: security friendly than Android, but they're not without their flawos folks.
- 50:47Speaker 4: Okay, it's just it's a.
- 50:49Speaker 11: Question of can I get into a more privacy and
- 50:52Speaker 11: security friendly situation, And that's primarily driven by their business model.
- 50:56Speaker 11: You know, Apple sells hardware and software. Google basically buys
- 51:02Speaker 11: and sells your data. As a matter of fact, just
- 51:04Speaker 11: to segue, while I was loading something up to get
- 51:06Speaker 11: ready for this, I mean Google to pay eight point
- 51:09Speaker 11: two five million dollars to settle lawsuit alleging children's privacy violations.
- 51:13Speaker 11: There's just a headline for you I happen to see.
- 51:17Speaker 11: So back to my phone. I have the apps that
- 51:18Speaker 11: came on my Apple phone, and I've probably installed may
- 51:22Speaker 11: be six apps that did not come on the phone.
- 51:25Speaker 11: Most of them are related to my job, and I
- 51:29Speaker 11: have things like LinkedIn which I use on a regular
- 51:31Speaker 11: basis primarily related to my job as well.
- 51:34Speaker 4: So yes, less apps better.
- 51:36Speaker 11: Generally speaking for most people, especially if you're not real
- 51:40Speaker 11: privacy and tech savvy.
- 51:42Speaker 1: So thank you very much. Mom. I told you, and
- 51:45Speaker 1: I knew Dave you double down on that. I'm just
- 51:47Speaker 1: trying to keep her out of trouble, that's all. And
- 51:49Speaker 1: you know, there's always another source for information out there
- 51:51Speaker 1: that doesn't involve loading your phone up with something like
- 51:53Speaker 1: a simple Internet search like what's Cincinnati weather going to
- 51:56Speaker 1: be like over the next several days Anyway, Artificial intell
- 52:00Speaker 1: legins crazy stuff we use chat GPT. This morning, I
- 52:03Speaker 1: had Joe churn out a country music song about a
- 52:05Speaker 1: guy with a naked guy with a harp that was
- 52:07Speaker 1: from the stack of stupid. In about two seconds, he
- 52:09Speaker 1: had a three minute song four versus and a chorus.
- 52:12Speaker 1: It was hilarious. He's going to post it on the
- 52:14Speaker 1: Morning show page. But we have deep fakes in form
- 52:16Speaker 1: of explicit content. They're using these AI programs to create pornography,
- 52:21Speaker 1: sometimes involving children. And now how lawmakers apparently want to
- 52:24Speaker 1: do something about it, Davis, Can they.
- 52:27Speaker 11: Well that's a really good question, thank you, So deep
- 52:29Speaker 11: deep when it comes to AI, you and I have
- 52:31Speaker 11: been talking about deep fakes for a long long time now,
- 52:33Speaker 11: because it was really one of the first places where
- 52:37Speaker 11: you could see significant potential problems coming from this technology. Right,
- 52:41Speaker 11: deep fakes have been around for a long time. It's
- 52:43Speaker 11: the idea that I can create a photo, I can
- 52:46Speaker 11: create a video, I can create an audio some combination
- 52:49Speaker 11: of all of the above that increasingly looks unbelievably real
- 52:52Speaker 11: or sounds unbelievably realistic.
- 52:55Speaker 4: Right.
- 52:55Speaker 11: So again, this concept is not new, but as the
- 52:58Speaker 11: technology gets better and better and better and again, to
- 53:01Speaker 11: kind of segue off into a different, different article here,
- 53:05Speaker 11: Whired Dredda ran a story recently. Google and Open AI's
- 53:08Speaker 11: chatbots can strip women in photos down to their bikinis.
- 53:11Speaker 11: So kind of related, right, because a deep fake can be.
- 53:14Speaker 11: I just want to edit one thing in an existing
- 53:16Speaker 11: photo to you know, change its context, change its meaning.
- 53:20Speaker 11: Like this WCPO story where they show Ohio State Representative
- 53:24Speaker 11: Adam Matthews, who's apparently a Republican, standing near a sign
- 53:27Speaker 11: that says JD Vance and then AI was manipulated used,
- 53:31Speaker 11: it was used to manipulate that photo. And I mean, honestly,
- 53:35Speaker 11: looking at the photo, you know now he's standing next
- 53:38Speaker 11: to a Harris sign.
- 53:40Speaker 4: I don't.
- 53:41Speaker 11: There's no way I would be able to tell the
- 53:43Speaker 11: difference between these two photos just looking at it.
- 53:45Speaker 7: Right.
- 53:45Speaker 1: How about how lawmakers come up with legislation that's going
- 53:48Speaker 1: to allow them to determine what's real and what's not.
- 53:50Speaker 11: Well, I don't know, Brian, that's a really good question.
- 53:53Speaker 11: I mean, theoretically, you could say that you have to
- 53:58Speaker 11: put some kind of watermark in something if you use
- 54:01Speaker 11: AI on it. But here's the thing. Bad people, especially
- 54:05Speaker 11: bad people, bad actors offshore in other countries that want
- 54:08Speaker 11: to sow chaos and dissension in this country aren't going
- 54:11Speaker 11: to follow those laws. You know, could you pass a
- 54:14Speaker 11: law that says you could be penalized for this? Could
- 54:16Speaker 11: you pass a law that tries to hold these companies responsible.
- 54:19Speaker 11: I mean, you get into the same kind of situation,
- 54:22Speaker 11: you know, with it's a little different because, let's just say, Facebook, TikTok,
- 54:27Speaker 11: whatever isn't creating certain content necessarily, it's allowing people to
- 54:32Speaker 11: post it, whereas whereas these tools are actually creating things
- 54:36Speaker 11: from whole cloth. But offhand, I'm not really sure again,
- 54:42Speaker 11: other than requiring some kind of disclaimer, water mark something
- 54:48Speaker 11: that would say this came from some AI platform, I
- 54:52Speaker 11: don't really know how you would do that.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think we've reached that moment in time
- 54:56Speaker 1: We've been talking about day where you know, you're not
- 54:58Speaker 1: going to believe your own eyes anymore, you can't believe
- 55:01Speaker 1: organize done.
- 55:02Speaker 11: We're past that. Yeah, that those days are over. I mean,
- 55:05Speaker 11: you can't assume that anything you see or hear at
- 55:07Speaker 11: this point hasn't either been altered or created entirely by
- 55:12Speaker 11: AI and.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Much well much in the same way you can't control
- 55:16Speaker 1: some idiot from putting a headline on a newspaper saying
- 55:19Speaker 1: that ice detained a five year old boy in an
- 55:21Speaker 1: ice raid when that never even happened. You know, people
- 55:25Speaker 1: are gonna make stuff up, and they're gonna do it
- 55:26Speaker 1: for their own political interest, nefarious or political or whatever
- 55:29Speaker 1: other reason they've got, and just start not believing what
- 55:32Speaker 1: you see and quit taking everything for granted that it's real.
- 55:35Speaker 1: We'll bring Dave Hatter back. Hundreds of millions of audio
- 55:38Speaker 1: devices need a pat. Six about KRC de talk station
- 55:42Speaker 1: Brian Thomas with intrust it dot COM's Dave Hatter, nice figure,
- 55:48Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. Joe Striker put up the link for this
- 55:50Speaker 1: discussion on the blog pagment you have KRC dot com.
- 55:54Speaker 1: That's that? That is your figure, isn't.
- 55:56Speaker 4: It talking about the photo of me? Look? I haven't
- 56:02Speaker 4: looked at your blog this.
- 56:03Speaker 1: Ye, yeah, I know that I'm taking you on my
- 56:06Speaker 1: listening audience. That actually is a real picture of Dave Hatter.
- 56:09Speaker 1: You can tell anyhow.
- 56:13Speaker 4: I can't wait to see it. I pull it up
- 56:16Speaker 4: here while we're chatting. Yeah.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Also, try to generate traffic over the fifty five KRC
- 56:20Speaker 1: dot com page so they check you out and then
- 56:23Speaker 1: can hear what you have to say. Anyhow, Sorry to
- 56:25Speaker 1: take you down that road. Hundreds of millions of audio
- 56:27Speaker 1: devices apparently need a patch. What's this one all about?
- 56:30Speaker 1: Is this kind of like a bluetooth thing.
- 56:32Speaker 11: Yes it is, and really it gets back to the
- 56:35Speaker 11: point though to some extent you made about your mom.
- 56:37Speaker 4: One of the reasons why.
- 56:39Speaker 11: The less apps you have, the less so called smart
- 56:42Speaker 11: devices you have, is the less risk you have by
- 56:45Speaker 11: exposure through these kinds of flaws. Okay, so, just as
- 56:48Speaker 11: a reminder, folks, an app is nothing but software. A
- 56:51Speaker 11: so called smart device has software in it. You know,
- 56:54Speaker 11: you've heard me, and if you pay any attention to
- 56:56Speaker 11: this sector at all, people like me talk about packing
- 57:00Speaker 11: your software over and over and over. Right, the patch
- 57:03Speaker 11: Tuesday for Microsoft, all these sort of things. Right, if
- 57:07Speaker 11: something has software in it, your car, your doorbell, your refrigerator,
- 57:11Speaker 11: your thermostat, whatever, Guaranteed, because human beings wrote that software,
- 57:15Speaker 11: it will have bugs.
- 57:17Speaker 4: It will have flaws.
- 57:18Speaker 11: That allow bad guys to potentially exploit the software to
- 57:22Speaker 11: attack the device and then potentially other devices. So again,
- 57:26Speaker 11: the less of this stuff you have, the less exposure
- 57:29Speaker 11: you have to this kind of risk. So in this case,
- 57:31Speaker 11: apparently Google, Now, as you know, Brian, I generally try
- 57:34Speaker 11: to avoid things from Google, so this isn't really a
- 57:37Speaker 11: problem for me. But apparently they created something called fast pair,
- 57:40Speaker 11: which is a protocol to allow you to basically with
- 57:43Speaker 11: one tap connect to you or Bluetooth devices to Android devices,
- 57:48Speaker 11: Chrome books, that sort of thing. Okay, So, and this
- 57:51Speaker 11: is the biggest part of this problem in my mind.
- 57:55Speaker 11: So much of these things do make your life easier
- 57:58Speaker 11: and more convenient to a point, right as you and
- 58:01Speaker 11: I discussed. I mean, I've been on this earth for
- 58:03Speaker 11: fifty plus years. Most of it I didn't have any
- 58:06Speaker 11: of this stuff, and I've done just fine. So I
- 58:09Speaker 11: understand the wow factor of some of this stuff. I
- 58:12Speaker 11: understand the convenience factor of some of this stuff. And again,
- 58:15Speaker 11: you know, do I want to have to go through
- 58:17Speaker 11: fifteen steps to hook up my wireless headphones?
- 58:19Speaker 12: No?
- 58:19Speaker 11: If I can just press one button. But pressing the
- 58:23Speaker 11: one button requires more software, more software because it's more guarantees,
- 58:29Speaker 11: more bugs, more flaws, more patching, et cetera. And so
- 58:32Speaker 11: my bigger point of all of this is again, your ring, doorbell,
- 58:35Speaker 11: your nest thermostat, all of these things have sultware in
- 58:38Speaker 11: them if you don't know how to configure it correctly,
- 58:41Speaker 11: if you don't know how to update it, and probably
- 58:43Speaker 11: of equal importance when they stop putting out updates for it.
- 58:46Speaker 11: Because they've moved on to a new product. There's risk
- 58:49Speaker 11: for you. So this particular case again Google fast Pair.
- 58:54Speaker 11: There are millions of devices out there that use this,
- 58:57Speaker 11: and apparently there's a fairly significant flaw. Numerous outlets have
- 59:02Speaker 11: written about this. So let me just to start the
- 59:04Speaker 11: fast pair process. A seeker phone sends a message to
- 59:07Speaker 11: the provider and accessory indicating it wants to pair. The
- 59:11Speaker 11: fast pair specification states that the accessory is not in
- 59:13Speaker 11: pairing mode, it should disregard the message. Some devices fail
- 59:17Speaker 11: to check this, allowing on authorises devices to start the
- 59:20Speaker 11: pairing process.
- 59:21Speaker 4: After receiving reply, an.
- 59:23Speaker 11: Attacker can finish the fast pair procedure establishing a regular
- 59:26Speaker 11: Bluetooth pairing. Now, is this the greatest thing in the
- 59:29Speaker 11: world or the greatest flaw in the world. Is a
- 59:31Speaker 11: hacker going to be able to sit down the street
- 59:33Speaker 11: from you and potentially attack your devices, get to your computer,
- 59:36Speaker 11: get into your work environment or your bank, and steal
- 59:38Speaker 11: all your money. Probably not, Because Bluetooth has a real
- 59:42Speaker 11: You have to be fairly close for a Bluetooth device
- 59:45Speaker 11: to work. In most cases, it's around thirty three feet,
- 59:47Speaker 11: maybe a little longer, depends on all kinds of environmental conditions.
- 59:51Speaker 11: The big thing for me, though, is this is just
- 59:53Speaker 11: another example that shows you do you think the average
- 59:56Speaker 11: person even knows this is a flaw? And if they do,
- 59:59Speaker 11: do you think they know their devices might have it?
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: And even if they.
- 1:00:02Speaker 11: Do, do you think they know how to fix it?
- 1:00:04Speaker 11: Or will the device even support fixing it? And the
- 1:00:08Speaker 11: longer you go without fixing a flaw in your devices,
- 1:00:11Speaker 11: whatever that might be, the more exposure you have because
- 1:00:14Speaker 11: more bad actors will learn about the flaw, and depending
- 1:00:17Speaker 11: on what it is and how it can be accessed,
- 1:00:20Speaker 11: it creates risk for you and your family, your business,
- 1:00:23Speaker 11: your work, et cetera. So if you have Google devices,
- 1:00:28Speaker 11: I suggest you look into this. It would be good
- 1:00:31Speaker 11: to patch these flaws. But again, in many cases this
- 1:00:33Speaker 11: is some sort of third party headphones or something. It's
- 1:00:37Speaker 11: a tricky one, but it gets to the heart of
- 1:00:40Speaker 11: what I keep trying to tell people all the time.
- 1:00:43Speaker 11: All of this stuff does not but it does not
- 1:00:47Speaker 11: favor the consumer right. It's speed to market, market share,
- 1:00:50Speaker 11: ease of use. The stuff goes out of life soon,
- 1:00:53Speaker 11: meaning it doesn't get updates from the vendor, you don't
- 1:00:56Speaker 11: know how to set it up right, you don't know
- 1:00:58Speaker 11: how to keep it updated. I don't know when it
- 1:01:00Speaker 11: goes into life. The less of this stuff you have
- 1:01:03Speaker 11: until the business model changes, the better off you will be.
- 1:01:06Speaker 11: And this is just yet another of dozens and dozens
- 1:01:09Speaker 11: and dozens of these examples. Yeah, why the less so
- 1:01:12Speaker 11: called smart devices, apps, etcetera.
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: You have, the better off.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: You are, Amen, underscore in bold underline, Tell your friends
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: and neighbors six forty seven right now, one more with
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: intrust its Dave Hatter. Now we can hear from corner
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: sixty two fifty five Kercity talk station Brian Thomas Woo
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. Interest it dot com is where you find him,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: and also on LinkedIn. You go to LinkedIn dot com
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: just search for Dave Hatter. He has all the articles
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: that he talks about during this segment of the program,
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: and that's some that's a worthy endeavor to stay up
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: with him throughout the week as well. Chinese hackers again
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: at Chinese Communist Party up to no good again, Dave Hatter.
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: Yeah, I know this is a chocker, Brian.
- 1:01:48Speaker 11: And also you know all this stuff we talk about
- 1:01:50Speaker 11: on here, I'm sharing on X two if X is
- 1:01:53Speaker 11: easier for people. But you know, I'm trying to throughout
- 1:01:57Speaker 11: them week put out as much information about this stuff
- 1:02:00Speaker 11: that I think will be helpful for people, to help
- 1:02:02Speaker 11: people understand the risks and hopefully make smarter decisions. Because
- 1:02:05Speaker 11: at the end of the day, Brian, if you make
- 1:02:08Speaker 11: a risk informed decision, you understand what you're signing up
- 1:02:11Speaker 11: for with all this stuff. You read the terms of service,
- 1:02:13Speaker 11: the privacy policy, all of which, as you know, will
- 1:02:16Speaker 11: be an eighty page legal mumbo jumbo confuse opoly, and
- 1:02:19Speaker 11: you decide to proceed. Well, you're an adult, okay, have
- 1:02:23Speaker 11: at it exactly right. My issue was all of this
- 1:02:26Speaker 11: stuff at the end of the day really is again
- 1:02:28Speaker 11: it does not favor the consumer, as I mentioned in
- 1:02:30Speaker 11: the last segment, and most people don't really understand the risk,
- 1:02:34Speaker 11: both the cybersecurity risk or the privacy risk of this stuff.
- 1:02:38Speaker 11: So with all of that said, yeah, here we are again.
- 1:02:41Speaker 11: Probably in the last five or six years, you and
- 1:02:43Speaker 11: I have discussed this pretty much relentlessly because it just
- 1:02:46Speaker 11: keeps hitting the news. Right, So, headline Chinese hackers targeting
- 1:02:50Speaker 11: high value North American critical infrastructure, Cisco says for people
- 1:02:54Speaker 11: who don't know, you know, Cisco is one of the
- 1:02:56Speaker 11: largest and oldest major tech companies out there. They make
- 1:02:59Speaker 11: a lot of the equipment to powers the Internet and
- 1:03:02Speaker 11: the networking infrastructure that makes this work, switches, routers, et cetera.
- 1:03:07Speaker 11: So you know this these are these are people that
- 1:03:09Speaker 11: know what they're talking about, is my point.
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: Again.
- 1:03:12Speaker 11: Cisco has been around for a long time, and you know,
- 1:03:15Speaker 11: in the business from an enterprise grade professional standpoint, they're
- 1:03:19Speaker 11: you know, one of the vendors chosen most often by people.
- 1:03:24Speaker 11: So we've heard DHS warn't about this. We've heard we've
- 1:03:28Speaker 11: heard FBI warn't about this, We've heard scission worn about this.
- 1:03:31Speaker 11: SISS of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, part of DHS.
- 1:03:38Speaker 11: I have been trying to explain to people for a
- 1:03:40Speaker 11: long time. When the Internet was originally designed back in
- 1:03:43Speaker 11: the late sixties and early seventies, right, the underlying protocols,
- 1:03:47Speaker 11: the technologies that make it work, we're not designed with
- 1:03:49Speaker 11: security in mind. Right, they were disclad they could make
- 1:03:52Speaker 11: it work at all. Over time, as it's expanded and
- 1:03:56Speaker 11: people have loaded more and more stuff on the Internet,
- 1:03:59Speaker 11: and now we've basically live in this digital world, all
- 1:04:02Speaker 11: powered by the technology that drives the Internet. I mean,
- 1:04:05Speaker 11: you don't even really hear people talk about the Internet
- 1:04:07Speaker 11: verse se anymore. And internet really just means inter network, right,
- 1:04:11Speaker 11: a network connected to another network connected to another network.
- 1:04:14Speaker 11: That's really all it is. All these different networks that
- 1:04:16Speaker 11: are connected. They all use the same protocols or rules
- 1:04:19Speaker 11: to talk to each other. And all of that stuff
- 1:04:21Speaker 11: again was designed back at a time when security was
- 1:04:24Speaker 11: not a concern. So you know, fast forward to now
- 1:04:27Speaker 11: you've got all this mission critical stuff. Our entile society
- 1:04:31Speaker 11: runs off of this. And while you can apply security
- 1:04:34Speaker 11: to this, typically you're trying to retro fit it in.
- 1:04:37Speaker 11: It's creating friction, It creates costs, that causes problems. Right,
- 1:04:42Speaker 11: So you've got a situation too where as you stack
- 1:04:46Speaker 11: more and more stuff on this going back to the
- 1:04:49Speaker 11: point I made before, more and more software, more and
- 1:04:52Speaker 11: more flaws, it creates opportunities for people that really understand
- 1:04:56Speaker 11: how this stuff works to try to exploit these flaws,
- 1:04:59Speaker 11: to try to expl the inherent vulnerabilities in this stuff
- 1:05:03Speaker 11: if it's not patched and it's not set up correctly. Right,
- 1:05:07Speaker 11: And this is just another example. So here from this article,
- 1:05:11Speaker 11: Chinese hackers successfully breached multiple critical infrastructure organizations in North
- 1:05:15Speaker 11: America over the last year using a combination of compromised
- 1:05:18Speaker 11: credentials and exploitable servers. Researchers at Cisco Talos found Tellos
- 1:05:23Speaker 11: is their security focus group. They research this stuff, they
- 1:05:26Speaker 11: look for flaws, they try to help other vendors fix
- 1:05:29Speaker 11: these problems. Now there's two key points there. Exploitable servers.
- 1:05:33Speaker 11: It's not patched, it doesn't have the latest updates, it's
- 1:05:36Speaker 11: not set up correctly. It has an inherent flaw that
- 1:05:39Speaker 11: can't be patched because it's too old and it needs
- 1:05:41Speaker 11: to be replaced. But compromise credentials. This gets back to
- 1:05:46Speaker 11: people use bad passwords. They use the same bad passwords
- 1:05:50Speaker 11: across multiple systems. They don't use multi factor authentication or
- 1:05:54Speaker 11: other technologies that can make it more difficult to log in,
- 1:05:57Speaker 11: hence account takeover attacks. So, even though I talk about
- 1:06:01Speaker 11: this stuff colin blue in the face, you know you
- 1:06:04Speaker 11: see these examples.
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: Out in the real world.
- 1:06:06Speaker 11: Now, is it bad, Brian if hackers do an account takeover,
- 1:06:10Speaker 11: Because if you have a bad password and no MFA
- 1:06:13Speaker 11: get into your company email and eventually steal all your
- 1:06:16Speaker 11: money and.
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: Put you out of business. Yeah, that's pretty bad. But
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: is it.
- 1:06:20Speaker 11: Is it even worse when they can get into the
- 1:06:22Speaker 11: electrical grid or the water systems, or let's say, uh,
- 1:06:27Speaker 11: you know some railroads somewhere and cause a train full
- 1:06:30Speaker 11: of chlorine gas to derail.
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a lot worse.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: You call that a rhetorical question, Dave. We're out of time,
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: my friend. You want to sum it up, the critical
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: infrastructure critically.
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: We got to fix it, Brian gott to fix it.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: Priority number one for all elected officials from local to federal.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. Yes, Dave had our intrust it
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: dot com. Where you find him and his crew for
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: your business computer needs. Find him at LinkedIn dot com
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: and follow him on x get all the articles and
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: documents and tune in every Friday at six point thirty
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: for uh, well, some sound advice.
- 1:06:58Speaker 4: Dave.
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Have a great week and stay
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: safe and we'll look forward to next Friday again. Coming
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: up Corey Bowman with well stuff and thinks seven oh
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: seven Here for you, Bob Karsite talk station. Happy Friday,
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here. I always enjoy talking to a
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: friend that I made during the campaign last year, Corey Bowman.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: He was running from Mayor. I represented a different way
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: of going, not continuing down the same path, doing the
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: same thing over and over again, expecting a different result
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: as the definition of stupidity. And yet in spite of
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: the fact that a lot of people registered to vote,
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: one in four registered voters showed up to vote, and
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: of course, basically across the board, with a couple of
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: notable exceptions like California and Riverside and Sailor Park, everybody
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: went with Mary av to have Purvoll and the current
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: cast characters we have representing the city of Cincinnati to
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: the extent they are Welcome back, Corey Bowman Man, it's
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: great to have you on the morning show, and a
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: happy Friday to you.
- 1:07:49Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Friday.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Happy to do it, and happy to mention your church,
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: the River Church. That's where Corey's pastor over the West End.
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: He's got some stuff to talk about what's going on
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: the West End, of course, sobject matter of a lot
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: of discussion, considering the up young people who've gotten their
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: lives taken from them just by hanging out in a
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: public park in regular hours. River Church is where you
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: go to see Corey Bowman preside over the congregation. Maybe
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: get you right with the Lord. Don't know King's Arms
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Coffee Roasters as well. Yes, a free plug for your
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: coffee company too. I understand a couple of cops went
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: in there and heard me mention in King's Arms Coffee Roasters.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: So at least you got a couple of cups of
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: coffee out of me for the last time you're on Corey.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Happy to do it man, Hey.
- 1:08:32Speaker 8: I really appreciate that.
- 1:08:34Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 1:08:34Speaker 8: Yeah, we started the church five years ago and you know,
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: when we started actually in queens Gate West End area,
- 1:08:41Speaker 8: fell in love with community and throughout all that we've
- 1:08:44Speaker 8: been able to distribute groceries and meals, been able to
- 1:08:48Speaker 8: lead people the Lord. But also you know, we also
- 1:08:51Speaker 8: see not only a spiritual aspect, that there has to
- 1:08:54Speaker 8: be an economic impact for this as well. So we
- 1:08:57Speaker 8: started the coffee shop right in the downtown West End
- 1:09:00Speaker 8: area as well, and you know we've been able to
- 1:09:03Speaker 8: see major progress with that.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: That's congratulations, and keep up the great work in the community.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: I know it's a community you really have a deep
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: concern over. You've made a lot of friends there. You'd
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: like to see it a better place. And you've also
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: witnessed the struggles that some developers have had trying to
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: make the area a better place, with the City of
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: Cincinnati standing in the standing in the way of development
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: in the name of oh I don't know, connected communities
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: or something. Anyway, impediments to development are impediments to the
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: neighborhood improving. And that was one of the reasons I
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: know you ran for for mayor. We'll maybe give it
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: another shot. Thank you very much, Corey Bowman for attaching
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: are you on your your your Facebook page? Yesterday you
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: posted a link to the city council meeting that took
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: place yesterday and the agenda, And I wanted to ask
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: you about this because I've never seen an agenda before,
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: never bothered looking, but right there in the meeting caliber
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: all of these action items, and there are, Jeeze Louise,
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: sixty of them. A lot of them have to do
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: with appointments. And what I found really weird and I
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: think really personally troubling. I'm entitled to my own opinion,
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: is that when you're talking about appointments, so for example,
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: appointments submitted by a mayor, I have to have purval
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: I hear by appoint Anita Albi to the City Planning
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Commission as a member of SINCINNY City Council. Appointment submitted
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: City Council. So they're going to vote on that, I guess.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: But in every appointment, whether it's to that panel or
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Board appointment, or any other
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: appointment to any advisory board like Housing Advisory Board, there's
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: a parenthetical which tells you the sex of the individual
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: and the color of their skin. So, in so far
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: as Anita Albi's concerned, perenn female slash white. And it
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: comes to appointing David Roberts, the Housing advisory word perenn
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: male slash white. And then you, of course, I also
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: have others female aa. I don't know what that means
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: male AI. Then they got the gender pronouns put in
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: there the reappointment parvol for keyback whoever that person is
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: speren they slash them slash aa. I guess that's African American.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a reference to a transgender person
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: on here. Bottom line, does that information have any bearing
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: on their qualifications to act in capacity of whatever appointment
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: or reappoinment they're up for Corey.
- 1:11:21Speaker 8: Well, you know when you mentioned this, this is something
- 1:11:25Speaker 8: that it's a very fine line to kind of, you know,
- 1:11:28Speaker 8: tiptoe around in some aspects. It's a very heated issue.
- 1:11:32Speaker 8: You know, it is important to recognize certain aspects of
- 1:11:35Speaker 8: the community when it comes to race and gender because
- 1:11:38Speaker 8: we've come so far in our country when it comes
- 1:11:40Speaker 8: to civil rights, when it comes to women's rights, when
- 1:11:44Speaker 8: it comes to voting, but we've kind of crossed over
- 1:11:48Speaker 8: into this realm to where it's no longer about creating
- 1:11:53Speaker 8: equal opportunity for everybody, it's about check marking all of
- 1:11:57Speaker 8: these different categories just to make sure we meet it
- 1:12:00Speaker 8: quota right. I think that that's taken out the aspect
- 1:12:04Speaker 8: of the true value of people when it comes to
- 1:12:07Speaker 8: their skill sets, when it comes to what their opinions are,
- 1:12:10Speaker 8: what comes to their background is. And I believe that
- 1:12:14Speaker 8: that's something that really hurts when it comes to not
- 1:12:17Speaker 8: only city government, when it comes to businesses, when it
- 1:12:20Speaker 8: comes to careers. We have to be able to look
- 1:12:23Speaker 8: at this, as you know, not everything needs to be
- 1:12:27Speaker 8: a race issue or a gender issue. While it's important
- 1:12:30Speaker 8: to recognize those things when it's appropriate. This line that
- 1:12:34Speaker 8: we're towing right now is creating more division than unity.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: Well, that's was my take on it. And also, you know,
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: I'm one that still believes in the idea of meritocracy.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: So if here's another one, Van Lee Solivan was appointed
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: to the Environmental Advisor Advisory Board for a three year appointment.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: I don't know who this person is. I don't know
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: if they're qualified for the job. That's what really matters.
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: What have they done to make them qualify to sit
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: on the Environmental Advisory Board. I don't care that Van
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Lee Sullivan happens to be according to parenthetical here anyway,
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: trans non binary slash white. What does that those aspects
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: of his being have to do with competence to perform
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: a job on the Environmental Advisory Board? I mean, I
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: suppose that's something, since it was submitted by Scheryl Long
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: as city manager, that she might have looked into. But
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: you know, kind of a lot of people losing trust
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: in Cheryl Long's ability to make rational decisions anyway, So
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: did Cheryl Long look at his resume? Did Scheryl Long
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: know whether or not he knows anything about being on
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: the Environmental Advisory Board? None of which I know. But
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: I know that's not information that was provided to council.
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: Council was just provided what sex the person is, what
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: color skin they are, and I don't think that's appropriate.
- 1:13:48Speaker 8: Well I will say this though, too, because what I've
- 1:13:50Speaker 8: seen is that they have this check mark policy when
- 1:13:55Speaker 8: it comes to this. But when those appointees or when
- 1:13:58Speaker 8: those people that are in those his positions don't necessarily
- 1:14:01Speaker 8: agree with their policies or agreed to play the you know,
- 1:14:06Speaker 8: play ball with the head administration, they get Ouston, what
- 1:14:11Speaker 8: comes to mind, you know, with me is Michael Washington.
- 1:14:14Speaker 8: Michael Washington was a man that grew up in downtown Cincinnati.
- 1:14:19Speaker 8: He played basketball at Station five Fire Department. He worked
- 1:14:24Speaker 8: his way up to being the Cincinnati fire chief. And
- 1:14:28Speaker 8: this is a black man that is in the city
- 1:14:31Speaker 8: of Cincinnati. And yeah, you can check mark that, you know,
- 1:14:34Speaker 8: he met the diversity roles. But this man was qualified.
- 1:14:38Speaker 8: This man had a heart for the city of Cincinnati.
- 1:14:41Speaker 8: And when I talked to him, and when I talked
- 1:14:43Speaker 8: to the firefighters, nobody thinks that there is anybody that
- 1:14:48Speaker 8: loves the Cincinnati Fire Department and wants to see it
- 1:14:50Speaker 8: succeed more than Michael Washington, Right, So then, but then
- 1:14:55Speaker 8: he didn't play ball when it comes to the administration,
- 1:14:58Speaker 8: and so he gets wrongly fired let go by the
- 1:15:01Speaker 8: city manager. Well, now the city's paying for that because
- 1:15:05Speaker 8: the city is now facing the settlement of his lawsuit,
- 1:15:09Speaker 8: and that's costing taxpayers money. And so what I would
- 1:15:12Speaker 8: say is that why don't we start right off the
- 1:15:14Speaker 8: bat with people that love the community, with people that
- 1:15:17Speaker 8: love Cincinnati, that want to protect and serve or want
- 1:15:21Speaker 8: to fulfill these duties properly, And then what you'll find
- 1:15:25Speaker 8: is that the diversity will already be there, because Cincinnati
- 1:15:29Speaker 8: is a diverse city, right, But if you based it
- 1:15:31Speaker 8: on the qualifications, you're going to get a lot better
- 1:15:34Speaker 8: outcome because of it.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: That's my sole point. And if Michael Washington his name
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: was on here, part of the part of the time
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: when they appointed him to be the fire chief, if
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: it said paren mail slash black, I would make the
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: same argument. He has demonstrably qualified for the job. He's
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: been around fire department work his entire life. He embraces
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: the fire department. He has worked hard, he's walked, worked
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: himself up through the ranks, eminently qualified. Based upon his
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: man anybody could fill that role, regardless of skin color,
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: regardless of sexuality, the point being can they fill the
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: role competently? And isn't that the only thing that we
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: should be vetting them over anyhow, Just a little eye
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: opening for me on that one talk station fifty about
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: KRCD talk station Happy Friday, the former mayor oald candidates
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: still passed her and still a businessman, Corey Bowman, resident
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: of the West End area in the neighborhood that he
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: cares a great deal about trying to make it a
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: better place. We go back to twenty twenty three, eleven
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: year old Dominic Davis got killed in a park right
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: down the street from your church, and then sadly earlier
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: this year because a couple of weeks ago, we got
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: another eleven year old killed there. Queen Irie was her
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: young girl's name, read her last or was her last name.
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: And after the initial shooting of that young the eleven
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: year old Dominic Davis, the West End was promised some
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: cameras not going to always, you know, prevent crime, but
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: certainly it deterns to crime. You were promised cameras being
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: stole out of the neighborhood, and apparently that never happened
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: until we had the second eleven year old murdered in
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: the same park, and then we get some action from council.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: What is actually going on now on the ground in
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: the West End as far as law enforcement activities and
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: efforts to prevent crime from happening.
- 1:17:17Speaker 8: Corey Bowman, Yeah, so I know that you know there's
- 1:17:21Speaker 8: a big emphasis on the cameras in the West End
- 1:17:24Speaker 8: right now. I know that you know they've the officers
- 1:17:27Speaker 8: specifically CPD and all the organizations that are involved in
- 1:17:32Speaker 8: this have called business owners in the West End because
- 1:17:34Speaker 8: you've got to get permission from like business owners or
- 1:17:37Speaker 8: property owners to put cameras up in certain places. So
- 1:17:41Speaker 8: that's something that shows us that they are being they
- 1:17:44Speaker 8: are actively pursuing installing these cameras in certain areas, so they're.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: At least asking. Now, do you get any sense from
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: the neighborhood business and property owners whether they're for it
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: or against it? Do you think generally speaking that would
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: be embraced or have you heard some people complain about
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: the idea of a camera being mounted on their property
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: as being bad.
- 1:18:04Speaker 8: I think when it comes to what we've seen in
- 1:18:06Speaker 8: like these public parks and these areas because where the
- 1:18:10Speaker 8: shooting happened was at Laurel Park, and when you look
- 1:18:14Speaker 8: throughout the city, these parks have actually turned into these
- 1:18:18Speaker 8: areas that are targeted by gangs in the area, whether
- 1:18:21Speaker 8: it be individuals that you know are just over for
- 1:18:24Speaker 8: turf or whatever that might be. And so when this happens,
- 1:18:28Speaker 8: a lot of times there's just no camera footage, there's
- 1:18:32Speaker 8: no deterrence, there's no anything that's going on. You know, specifically,
- 1:18:36Speaker 8: when when I think of certain parks, I think of
- 1:18:38Speaker 8: Laurel Park, Grant Park, Fairview Park. These are areas where
- 1:18:42Speaker 8: we've seen instances before, and the cameras do deter now,
- 1:18:47Speaker 8: I think, you know, from a constitutional rising from when
- 1:18:51Speaker 8: it comes to monitoring somebody's privacy, you know, there's certain
- 1:18:55Speaker 8: areas when it comes to private property that you don't
- 1:18:58Speaker 8: necessarily want to.
- 1:18:58Speaker 5: See it there.
- 1:18:59Speaker 8: But then you know, for me, we have a business
- 1:19:03Speaker 8: in the West End and we have cameras that are
- 1:19:06Speaker 8: on our building for our security purposes, and that's been
- 1:19:09Speaker 8: a huge deterrent for us as well. So I think
- 1:19:11Speaker 8: it's got to be a collaborative effort of people working
- 1:19:14Speaker 8: together on that. But from what we can tell, there
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: is some initiative being taken for installing these cameras, but
- 1:19:20Speaker 8: it's not just a camera issue. There are certain other
- 1:19:23Speaker 8: things that we've got to put in place for this.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: All right, let's pause and rub it to break. What
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: are those specific things I'm gonna ask Corey Bowman that
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: as we come back from break, and that will be
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: after these first words for plumb type plumbing always plumbing
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: down some thirty eight figuring out Karsiti Talk Station Brian
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: Thomas swishing every one a very happy Friday, an extra
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: special return to Corey Bowman. He's got his fingers on
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: the pulse of what's going on in downtown Cincinnati, notably
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: his area of the West End's got a real prime problem.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: We've been dealing with this for years. Corey knows more
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: about it anybody since he lives there, and of course
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: he is a business in a church in the area.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: Going back to the couple of shootings in the park
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: down the street from your church business, the cameras are
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: apparently at least coming. I understand your point about installation.
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: You got to get property owners approval. I do believe
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: in the concept of private property, and I think it'd
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: be a good thing if the neighborhood would agree that, yes,
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: cameras would be a good thing because our neighborhood has
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: a crime problem and that would help moving over. Now,
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: that may act as a deterrence, not one hundred percent,
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: but it acts as a deterrence certainly an evidence gathering
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: element because you got videotape anyway, But what you were
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: getting ready to talk about? What else you're hoping comes
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: to the West End or maybe any other neighborhood in
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: the city that's struggling with crime. Corey Bauman, what are
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: you looking for?
- 1:20:36Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I go back to the night where Queen
- 1:20:39Speaker 8: Irie was shot that night in the West End. Because
- 1:20:43Speaker 8: many people might not know this, but the grandmother of
- 1:20:46Speaker 8: the eleven year old girl that was shot several weeks
- 1:20:50Speaker 8: ago was a church member of mine, and so I
- 1:20:52Speaker 8: was at the hospital right when it happened and was
- 1:20:55Speaker 8: with the family. And then we came back to the
- 1:20:59Speaker 8: place where the shoe a shop at Laurel Park because
- 1:21:03Speaker 8: grandmother lives right across the street from it. And the
- 1:21:06Speaker 8: specific thing I think about was that that night, it's
- 1:21:09Speaker 8: almost past the night, we're sitting there and the community
- 1:21:13Speaker 8: itself all comes out to grieve, to mourn, to offer condolences,
- 1:21:18Speaker 8: and I'm sitting there with the family. We're all outside,
- 1:21:21Speaker 8: and a couple of things happened. Number One, I was
- 1:21:23Speaker 8: hearing people constantly talk about where the cameras. Where are
- 1:21:26Speaker 8: the cameras. They were like, we've got two hundred and
- 1:21:28Speaker 8: fifty million dollar stadium right there, talking about TQL Stadium,
- 1:21:32Speaker 8: they said, where are the cameras at? Where the cameras at?
- 1:21:34Speaker 8: They promised that after dom and so the community cares
- 1:21:38Speaker 8: about this also. Whenever they would talk then what would
- 1:21:44Speaker 8: happen was is that these cars would be driving by
- 1:21:47Speaker 8: very slowly. And when all these cars would drive by
- 1:21:50Speaker 8: very slowly with sins of windows, everybody had knee jerk reaction.
- 1:21:53Speaker 8: They didn't know what was going to happen, whether another
- 1:21:56Speaker 8: incident was going to happen with the shooting. So I
- 1:21:59Speaker 8: just made call and we got some cruisers to be
- 1:22:02Speaker 8: able to come to the park for the protection of
- 1:22:05Speaker 8: the family and everybody outside. Well, when those cruisers pulled up,
- 1:22:09Speaker 8: the initial response was they were a lot of people
- 1:22:13Speaker 8: were freaking out because they thought the cruisers were there
- 1:22:15Speaker 8: to clear them out, and I just said, no, these
- 1:22:17Speaker 8: cruisers are here. To help you, to protect you, and
- 1:22:21Speaker 8: that kind of kind of bridge this gap and put
- 1:22:24Speaker 8: down these walls. And a lot of people don't see
- 1:22:27Speaker 8: it this way, but that there is a huge gap
- 1:22:30Speaker 8: between the community of Cincinnatis, between the community of downtown
- 1:22:34Speaker 8: and the police officers who want to protect and serve.
- 1:22:37Speaker 8: And I believe that the elected officials have to do
- 1:22:39Speaker 8: everything they can to bridge that gap, to show that
- 1:22:42Speaker 8: these officers are on the side of the community. And
- 1:22:45Speaker 8: then on top of that, you know, you ask what
- 1:22:46Speaker 8: are some practical things that we can do to fight
- 1:22:49Speaker 8: this crime? You know, the number one thing right now
- 1:22:52Speaker 8: is that we're twenty percent understaffed. We are twenty percent
- 1:22:55Speaker 8: understaffed when it comes to these officers. So no matter what,
- 1:22:59Speaker 8: they're just trying to show up to the worst case
- 1:23:01Speaker 8: scenarios because they're understaff they're trying to get a handle
- 1:23:04Speaker 8: on everything. And you look through and we saw I
- 1:23:07Speaker 8: believe it was five point four million dollars appropriate toward
- 1:23:11Speaker 8: public safety over this year, and I'm looking at the
- 1:23:14Speaker 8: efforts and there was one hundred thousand of that that
- 1:23:17Speaker 8: was put toward recruitment efforts.
- 1:23:19Speaker 5: We are at a.
- 1:23:20Speaker 8: Point with CPD right now to where if we don't
- 1:23:22Speaker 8: get a handle on properly recruiting and getting people through
- 1:23:26Speaker 8: lateral hiring, and we're in trouble because you've got some
- 1:23:30Speaker 8: people and I'll say this based on what I've heard,
- 1:23:34Speaker 8: is that you've got anywhere between sixty to eighty officers
- 1:23:37Speaker 8: even more than that that this year or next year
- 1:23:42Speaker 8: they enter into what's called the drop or possible retirement,
- 1:23:46Speaker 8: and many of them might actually take that retirement and
- 1:23:50Speaker 8: not actually continue on. So then you're talking about possibly
- 1:23:53Speaker 8: going from twenty to thirty percent understaff. We have to
- 1:23:58Speaker 8: back our police officers, we have to back our law enforcement,
- 1:24:01Speaker 8: but we have to bridge that gap between them and
- 1:24:03Speaker 8: the communities they serve. And so those are just practical
- 1:24:06Speaker 8: things that I believe has to be at the forefront
- 1:24:09Speaker 8: if we want to fight this crime. Because you can
- 1:24:12Speaker 8: put money into initiatives, you can put money into I mean,
- 1:24:15Speaker 8: out of those appropriate funds, I believe it is eight
- 1:24:18Speaker 8: hundred and eighty thousand went toward three CDC's expanded Ambassador program.
- 1:24:24Speaker 8: And a lot of these expanded ambassador programs involves like
- 1:24:26Speaker 8: picking up trash and trying to better the community in
- 1:24:30Speaker 8: that way, we've neglected the fact that our police are
- 1:24:33Speaker 8: there to protect and serve, not from a militant standpoint,
- 1:24:37Speaker 8: but from a community involvement standpoint. We've got to bring
- 1:24:40Speaker 8: that back well.
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: And stability and safety in any given community will lure investment.
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: Nobody's going to invest in a community where there's a
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: whole lot of crime going on in a city that's
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: not responsive to it. I want to address your lateral
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: higher point here in the allocation you've mentioned one hundred
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: thousand dollars. This is needs to be a full scale
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: We'll reimagine Cincinnati marketing approach to rehabilitate the good name
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: of the police department. Otherwise you're not going to get anybody.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: I don't care how much money you hang out there.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: Police chair FOP president Ken Kober told me about sad figures.
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: They had thirty open spots. If nobody shows up, you
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: can't do lateral hires. Don't go away. Corey Bowman continues

- 1:25:30Speaker 1: pivoting over. Of course, yes, more police officers are needed.
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: I don't think anybody, even the most ardent person who
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: hates the police, except for maybe Iris Roley, doesn't realize
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: we are low on officers. There's you know how many
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: hundreds thousand people in the city of Cincinnati within the
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: limits fifty two neighborhoods, and we only have enough officers that,
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: you know, maybe when seconds counts, perhaps twenty thirty minutes later,
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: there might be one there. You got to allocate reasonable
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: the resources, got to go to the worst calls first,
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: meaning some people who may very well be in a jam,
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: you know, aren't gonna see a cop come by because
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: they're short. So obvious thing. Let's get more officers on
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: the job. Now. We can't start with recruits and brand
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: new classes. They need to be trained to take six
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: months or more to get them out on the street.
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: So even if you get people to sign up to
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: be a police officer, that's going to take a while.
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: How about hiring away police officers from other police departments?
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: Great idea. There's a lot of folks out there, maybe
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: in New York City for example, and you may have
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: a wortitude on that, but you know, we have a
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: better life here. You and I could argue about it
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: all day long. We can engage in a marketing campaign
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: to explain how much better the city of Cincinnati is
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: in spite of its warts, than a lot of other
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: cities in this country. But you still can't get a
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: cop to come over and sign up for the job
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: knowing that the political structure is against them, and a
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: minimum won't even stand up for police officers or go
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: out and advocate for them like we all know that
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: they need. They need the support of the mayor, the
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: city manager, the supportive count until regular, out loud support
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: stop criticizing the police department. We've made massive improvements in
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: policing in the city Sincinnati, going all the way back
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: to the Collaborative Agreement and all the way to this day,
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: things just kept getting better. They're not out to hurt you.
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: They're out to help you. They're out to make your
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: neighborhood of crime free place. There's nothing wrong with policing.
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: You're going to have to have a marketing campaign to
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: rehabilitate counsel and the Mayor's office onto the side of
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: us believing that they actually care about the police. Otherwise
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: you're going to open thirty spots up for lateral hires
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: and you're going to get I think it was seven
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: applicants at least, that's what Ken Kober told me when
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: he was on the program. It just doesn't work saying
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: you're going to do lateral hires. Corey.
- 1:27:43Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, you know, one thing that a lot of
- 1:27:45Speaker 8: people might not you know, understand why it comes to
- 1:27:47Speaker 8: police officers as well, is that there are accreditation programs,
- 1:27:53Speaker 8: and there are accreditation organizations that basically qualify or not qualify,
- 1:27:58Speaker 8: but they basically allow the standards to be enforced if
- 1:28:03Speaker 8: you come underneath that covering. So it's kind of like,
- 1:28:06Speaker 8: you know, if you go to any university, are they accredited?
- 1:28:08Speaker 8: You know, is there accreditation that justifies that they are
- 1:28:12Speaker 8: qualified to be able to offer those types of services.
- 1:28:15Speaker 8: So in the state of Ohio, we have something called
- 1:28:19Speaker 8: the Ohio Collaborative Law Enforcement Accreditation Program OCLAP. Now, this
- 1:28:26Speaker 8: is something that's offered state wide. It's voluntary, but this
- 1:28:29Speaker 8: ensures that certain standards are met with the police department
- 1:28:34Speaker 8: and with law enforcement agencies, and many agencies all throughout
- 1:28:38Speaker 8: the state go into this program. And not only because
- 1:28:43Speaker 8: of the standards, but because with lateral hiring, this helps
- 1:28:49Speaker 8: because then people throughout the whole state can recognize that
- 1:28:53Speaker 8: this department is actually accredited under them, we can trust
- 1:28:57Speaker 8: the standards of it, and then we want to work
- 1:28:59Speaker 8: for them. Then there's actually a national accreditation called KALIA
- 1:29:05Speaker 8: C A L e A. That's this and what that
- 1:29:09Speaker 8: offers is national standards. Now here's the thing with these accreditations,
- 1:29:14Speaker 8: right it offers standards for accountability, for transparency with the officers,
- 1:29:22Speaker 8: you know, bodytams, making sure that there are no racial issues,
- 1:29:26Speaker 8: no profile you know, anything, but also that the training
- 1:29:28Speaker 8: for the officers is up to par And right now,
- 1:29:32Speaker 8: the Cincinnai Police Department is not under any of those
- 1:29:35Speaker 8: accreditation programs. And we do have something called the Collaborative Agreement,
- 1:29:41Speaker 8: which is agreement that was needed at the time and
- 1:29:43Speaker 8: it is something that enforces these standards. But this is
- 1:29:47Speaker 8: what we got to realize is that Cincinnati cannot be
- 1:29:49Speaker 8: an island unto itself. I've talked with the public safety
- 1:29:52Speaker 8: sector of the state when we talk about accepting the
- 1:29:55Speaker 8: packages for public safety from Ohio State Patrol and getting
- 1:30:00Speaker 8: people on the ground to up our complement levels, and
- 1:30:04Speaker 8: they say that with Cleveland, with Columbus, with all these
- 1:30:07Speaker 8: other cities, they make a massive progress when it comes
- 1:30:12Speaker 8: to helping, but when it comes to Cincinnati, they have
- 1:30:14Speaker 8: to jump through a lot of hoops because Cincinnati operates
- 1:30:18Speaker 8: by like its own standards and that might seem like, oh, yeah,
- 1:30:21Speaker 8: we we have higher standards. No, it's that we are
- 1:30:24Speaker 8: an island unto ourselves. We don't operate underneath Kalia. We
- 1:30:29Speaker 8: don't operate under the Ohio state accreditation, and that really
- 1:30:33Speaker 8: hinders us, not only when it comes to accepting help
- 1:30:36Speaker 8: from the state, but when it comes to things like
- 1:30:38Speaker 8: lateral hiring. If we're underneath Kalia accreditation, you would get
- 1:30:43Speaker 8: some of the best of the best from NYPD, from
- 1:30:45Speaker 8: Chicago PD, from LAPD, you get some of the best
- 1:30:49Speaker 8: of the best from all over the nation. Say hey, Cincinnati,
- 1:30:52Speaker 8: there's a lower cost of living, it's a great city.
- 1:30:57Speaker 8: We've got all these great things that could go for
- 1:30:59Speaker 8: us and raising our family there. And they are underneath
- 1:31:02Speaker 8: that Korea that National recognize accreditation to where the standards
- 1:31:05Speaker 8: are going to be there and the recruitment would actually
- 1:31:08Speaker 8: go up. But CINCINNTI doesn't operate under that right now,
- 1:31:11Speaker 8: and that's something I think we need to change.
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like it's a simple fix Corey. I mean,
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: is anything that our police officers here in the city
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: are taught, pursued to the collaborator, a reeman, or their
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: training that is inconsistent or flies in the face of
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: what they are being taught under those larger, broader, widely
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: accepted accreditation programs.
- 1:31:29Speaker 9: No.
- 1:31:29Speaker 8: And that's the thing is that, you know, even though
- 1:31:32Speaker 8: the standards underneath these accreditation would still match, Cincinnati just
- 1:31:38Speaker 8: kind of fails to work together with state or federal
- 1:31:41Speaker 8: when it comes to that. You know, I talked with
- 1:31:43Speaker 8: SWAT officers and I would ask them how things going.
- 1:31:45Speaker 8: They would say, oh, well, we can't even get funding
- 1:31:48Speaker 8: for night vision right now. So that's when you know, like,
- 1:31:51Speaker 8: even if money is being thrown in public safety, it's
- 1:31:54Speaker 8: not going toward where it needs to go. This is
- 1:31:56Speaker 8: Cincinnati SWAP. This is a local law enforce spent that
- 1:32:00Speaker 8: it's in their name that he need tactical gear, and
- 1:32:03Speaker 8: they can't even get money for a night vision So
- 1:32:06Speaker 8: this is something. But then when I asked him, hey,
- 1:32:09Speaker 8: couldn't we work with the state or federal to try
- 1:32:11Speaker 8: to get more funding for this, he said, No, Cincinnati's
- 1:32:15Speaker 8: and island under himself, they won't they don't want to
- 1:32:17Speaker 8: work with the state or federal just because of the
- 1:32:19Speaker 8: politics of everything.
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: Let's pausit ring quarterback for one more. We'll first catch
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: ourselves a crime stopper, bad Guy the Week, Tivity, Green Officer,
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: Greens waiting in the wings. We'll get her first, and
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: we'll finish with Corey and learn about his podcast, among
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: other things some forty seven right now, if you have
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: KC the talk station mortgages now, would you send your
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: kid to the wrong person? Can and good lucky into
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: where you're going Corey Bowman, I understand you have a
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: new podcast, Yes, sir, Yeah.
- 1:32:43Speaker 8: We've been you know, kind of had it in the
- 1:32:45Speaker 8: works for a while, just kind of working with Joe.
- 1:32:49Speaker 8: And I want to thank Joe Schreker for all the
- 1:32:51Speaker 8: work that he does for just not only you know
- 1:32:53Speaker 8: y'all show, but for everything that he's got his hand into.
- 1:32:57Speaker 8: But yeah, I believe that it's all going to be links,
- 1:33:00Speaker 8: provided that we'll be sharing weekly and just keeping our
- 1:33:04Speaker 8: voice out there because you know a lot of people
- 1:33:07Speaker 8: see it as hey, you know, is there another race
- 1:33:10Speaker 8: or you know, all this is just kind of a
- 1:33:12Speaker 8: one off. But the key aspect of last year and
- 1:33:15Speaker 8: continues on this year. Is that we have to keep
- 1:33:17Speaker 8: our voices loud when it comes to what's going on
- 1:33:20Speaker 8: in our city if we want.
- 1:33:21Speaker 5: To see real change.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, you're the man for the job. You're concerned
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: for the city comes through in your passion and in
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: your voice and in your day to day actions working
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: hard to make the West End a better community for everyone.
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, I love having you on the show and
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: I will encourage my listeners to find the Corey Bowman

- 1:35:00Speaker 1: us were class work and learning opportunities. A great opportunity
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: to learn there, but pivoting over upper top of the
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: screen an at empower Youoamerica dot or you'll see TPUSA.
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Click on that. It takes you right there to the
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: chapter of Turning Point USA. Here in Cincinnati. Thank you,
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: Diana tell Us for your involvement and getting that off
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: the ground. Welcome to the Morning Show.
- 1:35:22Speaker 13: Thank you, good morning. Thanks for bringing me on to
- 1:35:25Speaker 13: talk about Turning Point. We're super excited. We have been
- 1:35:29Speaker 13: on once and we had our semester. We did our best.
- 1:35:32Speaker 13: We were brand new. We've ironed out some of the kinks.
- 1:35:35Speaker 13: But our first class is coming up on January the
- 1:35:37Speaker 13: twenty eight. So I want to say that we don't
- 1:35:40Speaker 13: have the web page for even for Empower used classes
- 1:35:44Speaker 13: for this coming spring semester or for Turning Point just
- 1:35:48Speaker 13: yet totally firmed up. Were very very close on both
- 1:35:52Speaker 13: for both both organizations, for both pieces of it, but
- 1:35:55Speaker 13: so the web page will not be as up to date.
- 1:35:58Speaker 13: But I would say within the next I don't know,
- 1:36:01Speaker 13: ten days or so, we may have something up there,
- 1:36:04Speaker 13: especially for Turning Point and empower Youse still kind of
- 1:36:07Speaker 13: ironing things out, but we are on our way here
- 1:36:10Speaker 13: with Turning Point January twenty eighth, the big deal. I mean,
- 1:36:14Speaker 13: I reach out to to see if he'll help me
- 1:36:16Speaker 13: out and getting the word out, and he's always so generous.
- 1:36:18Speaker 13: You're so generous to have us on. We've got a
- 1:36:21Speaker 13: new day for turning point, a new time and a
- 1:36:24Speaker 13: new location. So three things that I think as we
- 1:36:27Speaker 13: took a look at how our last semester went, how
- 1:36:30Speaker 13: we could better serve our students and our families. Because
- 1:36:33Speaker 13: we're our a unique entity, right, We're not associated with
- 1:36:36Speaker 13: the school. We're actually considered an activism hub. We serve
- 1:36:40Speaker 13: all high schoolers in Greater Cincinnati. I'll take anybody. I'm
- 1:36:44Speaker 13: not karting. Anybody who we're not worried about addresses high schoolers. Mostly.
- 1:36:49Speaker 13: We've even got a few waish graders. And I know
- 1:36:51Speaker 13: we're kind of sneaking in. That's completely fine, It's worked
- 1:36:53Speaker 13: out fine. I just want to reach students and be
- 1:36:57Speaker 13: that place where they can learn about servit of values,
- 1:37:00Speaker 13: about free markets, about free speech, and be in a
- 1:37:04Speaker 13: comfortable place. I hate to use the term safe space,
- 1:37:08Speaker 13: but a.
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: Place where they can kind of speak the way they
- 1:37:10Speaker 2: want to speak, right exactly, and you know, we can say, yeah,
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: the police are good that using gender pronouns, that these
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: these are kids who've never lived like my son, he's sixteen.
- 1:37:25Speaker 13: He doesn't even remember a time when we didn't talk
- 1:37:27Speaker 13: like that. And that's horrific because it wasn't that long ago.
- 1:37:30Speaker 13: We didn't have to do this right, So we can
- 1:37:33Speaker 13: do that in our group here, and it's a place
- 1:37:36Speaker 13: where we can be open well.
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: And I'm certain your chapter is going to grow, and
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: we'll get the details on the daytime and location changes
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: here in a minute and find out what's going on
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: in the twenty eighth. But I guess this is one
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: of those instances where you know, the Lord really does
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: work in mysterious ways. Charlie Kirk outspoken. He'd been doing
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: this for years. I mean, he spoke truth to power,
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: he spoke his mind. He sprung from his religious faith,
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: but he held these American values and ideals dear to
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: his heart. He was wonderful at getting the message out
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: about conservative values. And then his life was taken from him.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: But you know, the lemonade that was made from the
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: lemons of that. But the beautiful, you know, the mysterious reality,
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: the miracle that came from that is Turning Point USA
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: just blew up in terms of its people recognizing her
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: for what it is. People learn for the first time
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: what Turning Point USA is all about. And then next thing,
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: you know, all these new chapters started forming across the
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: whole United States. I mean, you know, maybe a martyr
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: to the cause perhaps, but what a wonderful reality that
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: came out from that tragic, horrific death for.
- 1:38:44Speaker 13: Sure, for sure, and thank God for him. And when
- 1:38:47Speaker 13: you watch his videos, he was phenomenal at what he did,
- 1:38:51Speaker 13: particularly in these more recent years, which I did notice
- 1:38:54Speaker 13: as it was happening. I did notice that, and I
- 1:38:56Speaker 13: want to make a point of that with these kids
- 1:38:58Speaker 13: that were working with actually are students, the young adults. Really,
- 1:39:04Speaker 13: they all struggle. We all struggled. There was a time
- 1:39:07Speaker 13: when if you use the term GOP with somebody, you've
- 1:39:10Speaker 13: already lost them because they don't know all the jargon
- 1:39:12Speaker 13: and the terminology. I grew up with it. I was
- 1:39:15Speaker 13: forced to listen in Rushlumbo from when I was like
- 1:39:17Speaker 13: ten years old on. I get it, but not everybody does, right,
- 1:39:21Speaker 13: So Charlie Kirk understood it. Was a patriot always probably,
- 1:39:26Speaker 13: but he also had to polish himself and learn and
- 1:39:29Speaker 13: read and educate himself. I think he did the coursework
- 1:39:33Speaker 13: at Hillsdale, for example, to learn the things he needed
- 1:39:36Speaker 13: to learn. And he knew how to debate and he
- 1:39:37Speaker 13: practiced it, and it takes hard work to be a
- 1:39:41Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk. So I'd love to say we're turning out
- 1:39:46Speaker 13: Charlie kirk sative empower used Turning Points chapter. But we
- 1:39:50Speaker 13: can certainly give them the tool so that when they
- 1:39:53Speaker 13: go off to college, even if they grew up in
- 1:39:55Speaker 13: conservative household. So it's the choir, right, These kids are
- 1:39:59Speaker 13: part the choir. They're us right. But I know a
- 1:40:02Speaker 13: couple of conservative families who sent kids off to a college,
- 1:40:07Speaker 13: a big one. I won't say which of the big
- 1:40:10Speaker 13: colleges it was that bull kids went there, came back,
- 1:40:13Speaker 13: you know, unrecognizable, yes, and debated their parents and badgeris
- 1:40:19Speaker 13: them for voting for Donald Trump. They knew that their parents,
- 1:40:22Speaker 13: They felt like their parents were part of it, and
- 1:40:25Speaker 13: how could they do that? They were preamewashed. And we
- 1:40:27Speaker 13: cannot let our young people. They're not going to get
- 1:40:30Speaker 13: at their schools. They've got to get it somewhere. They've
- 1:40:33Speaker 13: got to get through somewhere, and that's what we're trying
- 1:40:35Speaker 13: to do.
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm glad you brought up that the
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: component of you know, some young I've had a year
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: of college. I know what I'm talking about. You don't
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: know what you're talking about mom, dad, that badgering that
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: goes on, Well, Charlie Kirk took that kind of criticism,
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: that kind of badgering on headlong. Every opportunity that was
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: given to him where someone would come up and criticize
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: him and tell him he was wrong, he grabbed a
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: bull by the horns and met that statement, that argument,
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: if it was even an argument, that attack and criticism
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: with facts, with logic, with reason. And I would expect
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: any parent out there to be able to do that.
- 1:41:07Speaker 1: If their their nut job left winger came back from
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: a doctrination camp at college, you could take them on
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: if they start down that evil orange man road with
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: the knowledge and the skills that you already have or
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: do more. Adults need to take the bull by the horns,
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: learn like Charlie Kirk did, and embrace the idea of
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: rejecting that and go at them full bore with facts
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: and information.
- 1:41:30Speaker 13: Yeah. And Charlie Kirk taught us that he was coming
- 1:41:33Speaker 13: from a place of love.
- 1:41:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:41:35Speaker 13: And I don't know if the Left thought that because
- 1:41:38Speaker 13: they felt so bad they took it personally. It's not personal,
- 1:41:41Speaker 13: it was it was a reality.
- 1:41:42Speaker 12: It was you know, his pro life stances was he
- 1:41:47Speaker 12: was unbelievably talented at being an apologist for life and
- 1:41:53Speaker 12: American values, you know, but he did it from a
- 1:41:56Speaker 12: place of love.
- 1:41:57Speaker 13: He wasn't badgering, he wasn't raising his voice, he wasn't
- 1:41:59Speaker 13: being and he probably would spit on more times than
- 1:42:02Speaker 13: he could count and then pay the ultimate price. Yeah,
- 1:42:06Speaker 13: he's a phenomenal example of how to push back against
- 1:42:10Speaker 13: this craziness.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think young people could benefit
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: from this beyond the political realm. The idea of being
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: able to confidentially engage in debate. That's a skill that
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: lots and lots of young people lack. It's a sorely
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: missing skill for young people. They don't want to engage.
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: You want to hide isolated, curl up at a ball,
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: or just screen expletives at people, which is not debate
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: and exchange of ideas. It's just name calling. But that's
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: where we are at a fall positions. So I would think, yes,
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: this will this turning point USA empower you. Chapter will
- 1:42:47Speaker 1: encourage them and help them to engage in thoughtful discussion
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: along politics. But also you can extrapolate a life skill
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: that they'll bring with that'll take from these courses in
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: this chapter's work and use it in other areas of
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: their life.
- 1:43:03Speaker 13: Yeah, for sure, for sure, yes, and I it's been
- 1:43:08Speaker 13: a joy to have empower use resources to do that
- 1:43:13Speaker 13: and Dan and it has been very helpfuls Dance for
- 1:43:20Speaker 13: you know, if these kids aren't going to get this
- 1:43:22Speaker 13: at their schools, then they have to be able to
- 1:43:24Speaker 13: get it somewhere. And if we don't have our young
- 1:43:26Speaker 13: people and we don't bring them along in in in
- 1:43:30Speaker 13: patriotism and in reason and like touching grass, then if
- 1:43:35Speaker 13: they're not going to do it in the schools, which
- 1:43:37Speaker 13: they're clearly not, and I don't see that improving anytime soon,
- 1:43:40Speaker 13: then we can be out there for these students and
- 1:43:44Speaker 13: and can help them meet you know, they can put
- 1:43:46Speaker 13: them together so they meet each other. That was one
- 1:43:48Speaker 13: of bad goals with so that students, you know, like
- 1:43:51Speaker 13: minded students could meet each other in a in a
- 1:43:54Speaker 13: place like this where they had something in common and
- 1:43:57Speaker 13: they could speak their minds without having to worry. And
- 1:44:02Speaker 13: in the process our turning point chapter were because of
- 1:44:06Speaker 13: the nature it kind of looks a little like empower
- 1:44:09Speaker 13: you where we bring in speakers and some of the
- 1:44:12Speaker 13: adults have stayed. The parents, so that's another thing. The
- 1:44:14Speaker 13: parents have stuck around. And I'm not going to tell
- 1:44:17Speaker 13: parents they have to go away and sit in the car,
- 1:44:20Speaker 13: but I will say that the students really do like
- 1:44:22Speaker 13: to have some autonomy in this and in it and
- 1:44:24Speaker 13: when they're meeting with us, So we want them to talk,
- 1:44:28Speaker 13: We want them to have discussions. We want them to
- 1:44:30Speaker 13: be comfortable. And if that means we put the parents
- 1:44:32Speaker 13: in kind of the back room, then that's what we do.
- 1:44:34Speaker 13: But they've also been able to listen to reb Gross
- 1:44:38Speaker 13: was then talking to us, and I asked the parents
- 1:44:40Speaker 13: to stay, and they really enjoyed that. So there is
- 1:44:42Speaker 13: some family, you know, togetherness at times with our meeting.
- 1:44:48Speaker 13: So it's good for everybody, really, all right.
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: I think it's an important question to ask. Now, Charlie
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: Kirk's message sprung and was born of his profound faith
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: in God, I mean the devout and of course some
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: of his messages sprung from that. And you can extrapolate
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: a conservative political message, you know, based upon your religious foundations.
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: Is turning Point usays Chapter through empower You America? Would
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: you call it a religious organization? Will you be teaching
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: about you know, like things biblical or are you just
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: going to let the political message prevail or is it
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: a combination.
- 1:45:21Speaker 13: That good question. Yeah, you know, that's a good question
- 1:45:24Speaker 13: because faith is definitely part of that message. And I
- 1:45:26Speaker 13: will say this Turning Point has a curriculum for the
- 1:45:29Speaker 13: high schoolers that they offer up, and it doesn't quite
- 1:45:32Speaker 13: fit for what we're doing because we're not in a
- 1:45:35Speaker 13: school and like parents and students both have to drive,
- 1:45:39Speaker 13: you know, sometimes across town to get to our meeting.
- 1:45:42Speaker 13: So we do it a little different. It packs a
- 1:45:45Speaker 13: different kind of punch, if that makes any sense. So
- 1:45:47Speaker 13: the curriculum that you might do after when you stay
- 1:45:50Speaker 13: after school with you know, on every Tuesday, or whatever
- 1:45:53Speaker 13: they do with the high schools, probably not enough high
- 1:45:56Speaker 13: schools even have a chapter from the looks of the
- 1:46:00Speaker 13: that's offered. It's fine for that setting, but for ours,
- 1:46:04Speaker 13: I needed to have it a little more heavy heading.
- 1:46:05Speaker 13: And as far as faith, it will always bring faith
- 1:46:09Speaker 13: into the conversation. We had Donna Murphy from Heaven Dane
- 1:46:12Speaker 13: came in last semester, late last semester, right before Christmas
- 1:46:17Speaker 13: and talked about the pro life message. And there's plenty
- 1:46:19Speaker 13: of faith in that I've got a gentleman that I'm
- 1:46:22Speaker 13: very good friends with. John Kersey is his name, mased
- 1:46:24Speaker 13: from Cleveland, and he's a professor. He's coming down to
- 1:46:27Speaker 13: talk to Turning Point on the March eighteenth, actually, and
- 1:46:33Speaker 13: he's a very faithful man. And he's a journalist and
- 1:46:36Speaker 13: a professor and a conservative and he's just phenomenal and
- 1:46:39Speaker 13: he's a great speaker. And I asked him to join
- 1:46:42Speaker 13: us in Turning Point. And I don't know what message
- 1:46:45Speaker 13: he's going to give yet, but you can be you
- 1:46:46Speaker 13: can bet it will be peppered with a message you know,
- 1:46:50Speaker 13: of faith. So and he could talk on any number
- 1:46:53Speaker 13: of things, but we'll always be bringing faith into the
- 1:46:56Speaker 13: conversation for sure, for sure. So yeah, by the way,
- 1:47:01Speaker 13: he'll be and empower you the following day talking about
- 1:47:04Speaker 13: Jesse Allens.
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: The one two times straight. That's good. I'm looking forward
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: to seeing the semester.
- 1:47:11Speaker 13: Bring them down. We're going to use them.
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: Yeats my guess right now with this segment, Diana tell
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: Us from the Turning Point chapter via empower You America
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: dot org. You mentioned early on daytime location. Sounded to
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: me like there's going to be a shift in when
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: these were going to take place, not the where though,
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: is it still at uh empower You Studios at Scarlett
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: Oaks Campus, three hundred Great Oaks Drive, Are you moving venue?
- 1:47:37Speaker 13: Not there yet? That is still empower You, that's still
- 1:47:40Speaker 13: empower You meeting space. For sure. We pivoted a little differently.
- 1:47:44Speaker 13: We did new day, new time, and new location. So
- 1:47:48Speaker 13: I'm super excited about this. So already Cafe on Reading
- 1:47:52Speaker 13: Road and Sharonville is hosting us.
- 1:47:55Speaker 14: We generally will be meeting there on Wednesdays. I want
- 1:47:58Speaker 14: to say it's every other Wednesday, but we may have
- 1:48:00Speaker 14: some hops in the calendar where we're not quite following exactly,
- 1:48:04Speaker 14: but we are going to be meetings there on the
- 1:48:07Speaker 14: twenty eighth.
- 1:48:07Speaker 13: It's upstairs. She's got an upstairs space there was very
- 1:48:12Speaker 13: excited to have us. It's external, like she's not open,
- 1:48:16Speaker 13: but it's external. So we'll make our way up there.
- 1:48:18Speaker 13: And there's a really nice, really nice space. It's comfortable
- 1:48:21Speaker 13: with couches, it's very homeye and we'll be a great
- 1:48:25Speaker 13: place for the students to We know what size, you
- 1:48:28Speaker 13: know what we need, and we didn't need that big
- 1:48:32Speaker 13: studio space that they have over at Grade Oak. So
- 1:48:35Speaker 13: This is a more comfortable way of doing it, I think,
- 1:48:37Speaker 13: And there isn't an adult space that they could sit.
- 1:48:40Speaker 13: The adults could sit down the hall in a smaller
- 1:48:42Speaker 13: room kind of keep an eye on things if they
- 1:48:44Speaker 13: want to. But you know a lot of them have
- 1:48:45Speaker 13: driven around town to get to this meeting, so there
- 1:48:49Speaker 13: is room for them as well. So the meeting will
- 1:48:52Speaker 13: start at six point thirty, which is another improvement over
- 1:48:58Speaker 13: over what we were doing with Empower. You we were
- 1:49:01Speaker 13: kind of piggybacking on the space we already had. Yeah,
- 1:49:05Speaker 13: so this is going to be better. And then we
- 1:49:07Speaker 13: did off for Wednesday so that we could take advantage
- 1:49:11Speaker 13: of you know, if I ever needed Dan to come
- 1:49:13Speaker 13: over to work with us at Turning Point, Dan wouldn't
- 1:49:16Speaker 13: be busy on Thursday, you know, on a Thursday, on
- 1:49:20Speaker 13: the same night. It just it just made it better.
- 1:49:22Speaker 13: We could get we could get help in different ways
- 1:49:25Speaker 13: by changing the day of the week.
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: I certainly under the understand the reasons for the logistical changes.
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: So it's going to be six thirty pm. It's taking
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: place at the already cafe, and the next Turning Point
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: USA meeting is on the twenty eighth of this month,
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: But I got all that right.
- 1:49:42Speaker 13: You got that right.
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: And then the twenty eight who's going to be speaking
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: on the twenty eighth, Diana tell us we.
- 1:49:48Speaker 13: Have got Dusi Khan, who's a local author who will
- 1:49:52Speaker 13: be talking about her experiences in communist Czechoslovakia and her family.
- 1:49:57Speaker 13: She was very young, she wrote a book called Like Swans.
- 1:50:00Speaker 13: So'll be bringing books with her and we will be
- 1:50:02Speaker 13: giving those away. We've got somebody, we're a lovely ladies
- 1:50:06Speaker 13: who Hardenberg is donating books for our students and we'll
- 1:50:12Speaker 13: be looking at that book. The kids will go home
- 1:50:14Speaker 13: with it, but she'll be talking about for experience. I
- 1:50:16Speaker 13: really really wanted to hit on early this year. I
- 1:50:19Speaker 13: wanted to talk about socialism and communism early on because
- 1:50:23Speaker 13: of New York City and the news and I'm hearing
- 1:50:26Speaker 13: it too too much that young people feel like, you know,
- 1:50:29Speaker 13: it's a difficult thing for me to understand that.
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: I'm with you kids. The frustration is I understand that
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: that could My show's built on that kind of frustration.
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: Did I'm sorry you every day? Well, I thank you,
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: and we're out of time, but I want to wish
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: you in the turning point, USA chapter again and Howerreoamerica
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: dot org. Click on the link up at TPUSA. At
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: the top, Diana tell us all the best of luck
- 1:50:51Speaker 1: in the world. I encourage my listeners if you've got
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: some young people out there that you know of your own,
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: perhaps your neighbors, you know, high school age roughly, that's
- 1:50:59Speaker 1: who we need in engaged in this process and turning point. Ussays,
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: empower your America chapters doing just that. Diana, great work.

- 1:51:22Speaker 1: Hey, twenty nine, Here, fifty five KRCD Talk Station. It's Friday.
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: I'm happy about it, and I don't care what snow's coming.
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: Just happy it's Friday, and I'm happy. I'm aloud to
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: bring back to the fifty five Cars Morning Show. At
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: this time Jack Windsor, he's editor in chief of the
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: Hoio Press Network is also host of The Windsor Report.
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: You can find him on zoom wherever you get your podcast.
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: And welcome back and Happy Friday to you. Jack. It's
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: great seeing your face.
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian.
- 1:51:44Speaker 15: It's an honor to join you and the discerning listeners
- 1:51:48Speaker 15: of fifty five KRC this morning.
- 1:51:50Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: Thank you for acknowledging the quality of my listening audience. Man,
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: it's a tough the smarter your audience, you know this,
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: the tougher your job is. And I'm always embarrassed when
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: I cannot adequately cope with in one of the caller's
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: questions about like, let's say, a case that he wanted
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: to know about, I'm like, oh, man, I'm lost in
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: the shuffle of all this information. We know about California,
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: we know about Minnesota in terms of fraud and what's
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: been revealed so far. How about how does Ohio compared
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: to those two states, Jack Windsor, That's.
- 1:52:18Speaker 15: A great question, great, great question. So I want to
- 1:52:21Speaker 15: take you back and then bring you back to the present.
- 1:52:24Speaker 15: You'll remember Ohio's pandemic era unemployment system experienced significant failures,
- 1:52:29Speaker 15: resulting in about three point eight billion in improper payments now,
- 1:52:33Speaker 15: further exacerbating Ohio's challenges. You'll remember State Representative Mike de
- 1:52:37Speaker 15: Villa's twenty twenty five investigation into Medicaid right into the
- 1:52:40Speaker 15: wheelhouse of your caller, revealed preliminary findings of at least
- 1:52:43Speaker 15: six billion annually flowing without adequate checks potentially too ineligible recipients,
- 1:52:50Speaker 15: obviously emphasizing the critical imperative for rigorous eligibility verification to
- 1:52:55Speaker 15: stem substantial drain on state resources as well as federal
- 1:52:59Speaker 15: resources that combine with those state resources in Medicaid. Now
- 1:53:02Speaker 15: flash forward to now twenty twenty six. Ohio's Department of
- 1:53:05Speaker 15: Children and Youth Programs I found out last week from
- 1:53:08Speaker 15: a lawmaker from auditor at Keith Faber, has identified two
- 1:53:12Speaker 15: million dollars in improper distributions to childcare centers. However, here's
- 1:53:16Speaker 15: the asterisk. Brian, my independent scrutiny in Columbus in one
- 1:53:20Speaker 15: day alone uncovered what appears to be six and a
- 1:53:23Speaker 15: half million in questionable payments to entities like Somali Education
- 1:53:27Speaker 15: Resource Center. With ongoing investigations in my world, I think
- 1:53:32Speaker 15: we will reveal additional instances of waste fraud and abuse.
- 1:53:36Speaker 15: That really will, I think, further compel the legislative process.
- 1:53:41Speaker 15: There are a couple of bills already drafted that are
- 1:53:44Speaker 15: in play, and I think that we should start looking
- 1:53:47Speaker 15: for prosecutorial action. One of the bills would give the
- 1:53:51Speaker 15: Ohio Attorney General authority to prosecute these cases, because one
- 1:53:55Speaker 15: of the challenges, Brian, is that sometimes local prosecutors are
- 1:53:58Speaker 15: maybe they're well intended, but they're not prosecuting crimes. So
- 1:54:02Speaker 15: Ohio has a significant issue. And my big heartburn on
- 1:54:06Speaker 15: all of it is there appear to.
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: Be systemic issues.
- 1:54:10Speaker 15: And when you have a governor sitting in the governor's
- 1:54:12Speaker 15: chair who says, well, it's just the cost of doing business,
- 1:54:15Speaker 15: we have a problem. And I think that we're going
- 1:54:18Speaker 15: to uncover we have a significant, significant, systemic issue here
- 1:54:21Speaker 15: in the Buckeye State.
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: Well I'm a little, i guess troubled by the reality.
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: And apparently AG does not have the authority to go
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: after these and you know, you may be deleicate and
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: with your wording on local prosecutors and their desires to
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: go after fraud, waste, and abuse in among the illegal
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: immigrant community or anywhere else for that matter. But yes,
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: there are very politically active left wing prosecutors who wouldn't
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: touch it with a ten foot poll for political reasons.
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: So we can't count on our own criminal justice system
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: to look out for Republican Democrat, communists, socialists, whoever's paying
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: taxes dollars. This transcends politics, Jack Windsor, this is not
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: about politics. It's about fraud, waste and abuse.
- 1:54:58Speaker 15: It is about fraud, waste and abuse, and it is
- 1:55:00Speaker 15: an absolute crying shame when you have aiders and a
- 1:55:03Speaker 15: betters who are pretending to be judges and prosecutors that
- 1:55:06Speaker 15: seem to be cut in on the deals.
- 1:55:08Speaker 12: Right.
- 1:55:08Speaker 15: That's why I always say elections matter, elections matter, elections
- 1:55:12Speaker 15: matter well.
- 1:55:15Speaker 1: And then they go out and they enter this this
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: it's like a child, a petulant child holding his ears
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: and putting his hands over is a you know, closing
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: his eyes and going l. I don't want to hear it.
- 1:55:23Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. I don't want to
- 1:55:24Speaker 1: hear it. It happened on your watch. The buck stops
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: at your desk, governor, whoever that's our money, do something
- 1:55:32Speaker 1: about it. You mentioned this one giving the Attorney general
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: authority to do these prosecutions. That's great. Again, I didn't
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: realize we even need to go through this step. But
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: what are the other bills that are being discussed and
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: who would possibly be against them?
- 1:55:44Speaker 15: Jack, Great, great question. Well, there is a bill from
- 1:55:49Speaker 15: Phil Plummer from the Dayton area, and his bill has
- 1:55:54Speaker 15: the prosecutorial power going over to the attorney general. But
- 1:55:58Speaker 15: also Lawmaker Josh Williams up there in the Toledo area, who,
- 1:56:03Speaker 15: by the way, is also running for Congress in District nine.
- 1:56:05Speaker 15: If he wins the Republican nomination, he will square off
- 1:56:08Speaker 15: against fixture in DC, Marcy Captor, who's been a Democrat
- 1:56:11Speaker 15: lawmaker as long as I've been alive, it seems.
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: But I digress.
- 1:56:14Speaker 15: Williams bill actually is one that would require as well,
- 1:56:20Speaker 15: real time video cameras in these daycare centers. Now, there
- 1:56:24Speaker 15: are people who have a penchant for privacy who are saying,
- 1:56:26Speaker 15: wait a minute, that might be over the line. And
- 1:56:29Speaker 15: what Williams is saying. He was on my show earlier
- 1:56:31Speaker 15: this week he said, well, look, we already do this
- 1:56:33Speaker 15: in places like the YMCA.
- 1:56:35Speaker 3: As long as we have proper guardrails.
- 1:56:37Speaker 15: We should be able to see into those daycare centers
- 1:56:40Speaker 15: to make sure, h here's a great idea, there are
- 1:56:43Speaker 15: actually students in those daycare centers if they are receiving
- 1:56:46Speaker 15: public funds. And so it appears that both of those
- 1:56:49Speaker 15: bills have Republican support, although I would guess that Josh
- 1:56:53Speaker 15: Williams bill might get some pushback because there are people
- 1:56:55Speaker 15: who go, well, what do you go, what kind of
- 1:56:58Speaker 15: images are you going to take of Johnny? And how
- 1:57:00Speaker 15: do I know that somebody's not going to misuse them?
- 1:57:02Speaker 15: And I remind people we do have to put safeguards
- 1:57:05Speaker 15: in place, but this thing is as old as time.
- 1:57:08Speaker 3: Brian.
- 1:57:08Speaker 15: There's a proverb that says the borrower is servant to
- 1:57:11Speaker 15: the lender. When you take tax dollars. Guess what you
- 1:57:14Speaker 15: are servant to the people who give you those tax dollars.
- 1:57:17Speaker 15: And you ought to expect that there is proper oversight
- 1:57:19Speaker 15: to make sure that the dollars are being used for
- 1:57:21Speaker 15: the things that you promised they would be used for.
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: Well, I've kind of advocated that in the past for
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: a public school class rooms for parents only, not evil
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: perverts out there who might want to just voyeuristically watch children,
- 1:57:33Speaker 1: but for parents to have secure access so they can
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: at least hear what their children are being taught in classroom? Right,
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: what's wrong with that?
- 1:57:41Speaker 3: It kind of makes sense, doesn't it.
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:57:44Speaker 3: But here's the other thing.
- 1:57:45Speaker 15: There are some independents, there are some people who are
- 1:57:49Speaker 15: on the conservative right who would go, oh, this is
- 1:57:51Speaker 15: a surveillance state.
- 1:57:52Speaker 3: This is surveillance state.
- 1:57:53Speaker 15: I remind them that when you carry this thing around,
- 1:57:55Speaker 15: you can't see me on the video I'm holding up
- 1:57:57Speaker 15: my smartphone.
- 1:57:58Speaker 3: Guess what, You're already being surveilled.
- 1:58:00Speaker 15: Say something today and just watch if the product that
- 1:58:04Speaker 15: you mentioned doesn't show up on your Facebook or x feeed,
- 1:58:06Speaker 15: we're already being surveilled.
- 1:58:07Speaker 1: We are. And that's something I've had to come to
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: grips with myself because I probably would have been in
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: the camp about no surveillance date because I call myself
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: a little il libertarian and I don't like state you know,
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: or welly in action. But we're talking about children here.
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: In the case of the schools, many cases, these centers
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: you're talking about, whether they're leering or learning, there are
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: young people. They need to have constant attention by parents
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: who really, really truly care pivoting over it's our taxpayer
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: money that that is even open as a place to
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: send children. There's another reason for us to know whether
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: there's anything even going on in the building. Not a
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: very big road to ho there. Jack Winsor will bring
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: it back. Go to the ohiopressnetwork dot com book market.
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: You'll be glad you did more with Jack Windsor coming out.
- 1:58:48Speaker 6: Stick around fifty five KRC from fifty.
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: Five KRC the talk station. Hey, forty one fifty five
- 1:58:55Speaker 1: krcd talk station. I always enjoy having Jack Windsor on
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: the show, and we got a braack right now through
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: the close of the show. A couple more segments with Jack.
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: You can find them online the Ohio Pressnetwork dot com
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: and also find his podcast or his his zoom thing
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: going on at the Windsor Report. I think we missed well.
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: I did a real quick search, Jack wins they're talking
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: about you mentioned the six billion dollars of medicaid fraud
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio alone. I just looked
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: up how much Ohio collection property taxes. Obviously a real
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: problem for ohioan's property taxes, and they're trying to do
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: legislative fixes, and we know that they're on it. We
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: think there's going to be a petition now to maybe
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: put a eradication of Ohio property taxes on the in
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: the constitution. Chaos kind of thing, it will ensue, at
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: least we learned that from our elected officials. But twenty
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: twenty two calendar year nineteen and a half billion collected
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: six billion dollars just in medicaid fraud that you mentioned
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: in the last segment, that's twenty five percent of the
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: entire property tax and that's just one program. I mean,
- 1:59:56Speaker 1: if they if they went out and ferreted out all
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: the fraud wasted abuse cer he did a great job
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: of cracking down. Let's say they got ninety percent of
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: what's currently being stolen. It seems like that would go
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: a long way to solving our property tax problem. Jack right.
- 2:00:13Speaker 15: I mean, one of the things I really appreciate, appreciate
- 2:00:15Speaker 15: about State Representative Mike Tavilla, who is the guy who
- 2:00:18Speaker 15: did the deep dive into Ohio Medicaid and by the way,
- 2:00:21Speaker 15: the auditor is still looking into that.
- 2:00:22Speaker 3: More reports will come out. But he is also the
- 2:00:25Speaker 3: guy who has.
- 2:00:26Speaker 15: Introduced this zero based budget idea, saying that every decade
- 2:00:30Speaker 15: we go back to zero.
- 2:00:31Speaker 3: And if you're a.
- 2:00:32Speaker 15: State agency, you have to prove one that you should exist,
- 2:00:36Speaker 15: and two you have to account for why you need
- 2:00:38Speaker 15: every penny that the General Assembly would hand over to you.
- 2:00:41Speaker 15: I think that's the type of rigor that we need
- 2:00:43Speaker 15: in the system, because again, you have a governor and
- 2:00:46Speaker 15: maybe even a Republican party that for decades has gone, Wow,
- 2:00:49Speaker 15: that's just kind of the cost of doing business hogwash,
- 2:00:53Speaker 15: because if you can collect, I mean, it's kind of
- 2:00:55Speaker 15: like Jesus using, you know, five loaves and two fish
- 2:00:57Speaker 15: to feed everybody, right, Imagine if we just picked up
- 2:01:00Speaker 15: the crumbs once in a while, we'd have enough twelve
- 2:01:02Speaker 15: baskets to go feed everybody. I mean, we've got to
- 2:01:05Speaker 15: stop treating taxpayer dollars as if they don't matter, because
- 2:01:09Speaker 15: at the end of.
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: The day, they do, absolutely do. And again, I view
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: this as totally non partisan. Totally non partisan, you know,
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: and I'll just pivot work because I do it all
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: the time. But I need the opportunity to get it
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: out of my system. When I think about it, I
- 2:01:22Speaker 1: viewed school choice as totally non partisan. I don't care
- 2:01:25Speaker 1: if you're in a commedy house, why wouldn't you want
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: an opportunity to send your kids to wherever the hell
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: you want. You know what is political about that? The
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: only people it might harm are the teachers union because
- 2:01:36Speaker 1: it's going to force them to learn how to compete
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: with the higher performing schools that they're competing with. For
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: a change, God, what's wrong with that?
- 2:01:43Speaker 4: All right?
- 2:01:44Speaker 15: Now, let me peeve everybody off by saying what I'm
- 2:01:46Speaker 15: about to say.
- 2:01:47Speaker 3: I just am amazed.
- 2:01:49Speaker 15: I'm in awe at how often progressives stumble out of
- 2:01:52Speaker 15: the gate. I always think about a racehorse track, you know,
- 2:01:55Speaker 15: the horses come out of the shoot. These guys trip
- 2:01:58Speaker 15: like the first two steps. Let me give you an example.
- 2:02:00Speaker 15: They're all about choice, man. If they want an abortion,
- 2:02:02Speaker 15: it's my body, my choice. But when it was COVID,
- 2:02:05Speaker 15: it was your body and my choice that you need
- 2:02:08Speaker 15: to mask and get a mandated vaccine. And now they're saying, well,
- 2:02:12Speaker 15: it's your student, it's my choice. I don't think you
- 2:02:14Speaker 15: should have it.
- 2:02:15Speaker 3: These people are so bast awkwards man, that's the problem.
- 2:02:19Speaker 15: But yeah, I think we should all love liberty to
- 2:02:21Speaker 15: the point that we actually trust the adults in the
- 2:02:24Speaker 15: room if they can be adults. And at the end
- 2:02:26Speaker 15: of the day, if you come from a COMMI house
- 2:02:27Speaker 15: go look for a Kami school to send your kid.
- 2:02:30Speaker 15: I should be able to send my kid to a
- 2:02:31Speaker 15: school that teaches reading, writing, arithmetic.
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: Classical education is exactly what I would choose for my
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: children if we do it all over again, although fortunately
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: I got them through the public schools before they went
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: full on far left woke bent. We can continue our
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: conversation with Jack Windsor. The Ohio Teachers Union apparently has
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: made a stance on ice continuing an education theme. Plus,
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: he interviewed vvk Ramaswaman the other day and I have
- 2:02:54Speaker 1: done that as well. Great guy, next governor of the
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: state of Ohio. We'll find out what Jack learned from
- 2:02:58Speaker 1: v VAK after these Don't Go Away eight fifty five
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: carcy De Talk Station. Thank you jose Jrekker, Little Dead
- 2:03:04Speaker 1: Kennedy's there on the show on some fun bumper music.
- 2:03:07Speaker 1: And thank you Jack Windsor for agreeing to peer back
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: on the firty five Fersey Morning Show. We'll enjoy our conversations.
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: I'll encourage my listeners to bookmark and regularly check it
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: out the Ohio Press Network, where you find Jack and
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: those working hard to bring these matters to our attention
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: and of course to speak truth to power, pivoting over
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: to the Teachers' union itself, I guess pardon me, wants
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: to understand why they would even take a stance on ICE,
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: given that they're supposed to be educators. But they did,
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: I suppose Jack windsor what's the story here with the
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: Ohio Teachers Union.
- 2:03:38Speaker 15: The Ohio Education Association represents about one hundred thousand educators,
- 2:03:42Speaker 15: and they've issued some directives opposing ICE enforcement as it
- 2:03:46Speaker 15: would relate to resisting warrants if they're not signed by judges,
- 2:03:50Speaker 15: so administrative warrants, and to refer federal agents to administrators. Now,
- 2:03:54Speaker 15: to be real, frank, that all makes sense legally and logistically.
- 2:03:58Speaker 3: However, where THEE.
- 2:04:00Speaker 15: Went off the proverbial cliff was when their president, Jeff
- 2:04:04Speaker 15: Wensingh said OEA opposes ICE enforcement in or near schools.
- 2:04:10Speaker 15: That's the first red flag. And then he framed schools
- 2:04:13Speaker 15: as so called safe zones. So what he's saying without
- 2:04:16Speaker 15: saying it is ICE makes the schools unsafe. And then
- 2:04:21Speaker 15: the third thing that he said was, well, look, we
- 2:04:23Speaker 15: prize the opportunity to educate all kids, and the people
- 2:04:27Speaker 15: who support that go, well, he's just following the letter
- 2:04:30Speaker 15: of the law and giving resources. And there are some
- 2:04:33Speaker 15: school districts Columbus Hilliard have condemned ICE activities, citing fear
- 2:04:38Speaker 15: among immigrant communities and vowing to protect all students. But
- 2:04:42Speaker 15: here's the issue. Far from fostering unity, this resistance to
- 2:04:46Speaker 15: me erodes the foundational principle of law and order, which
- 2:04:50Speaker 15: is what we should be reflecting in our schools and
- 2:04:53Speaker 15: that schools should instill in every student. And it's prioritizing
- 2:04:57Speaker 15: the accommodation of illegal immigration over accountability and citizenship. And
- 2:05:02Speaker 15: here's the bottom line. We have unlimited ones and limited resources.
- 2:05:07Speaker 15: So you have a certain amount of time and a
- 2:05:09Speaker 15: certain amount of money, and that time and that money
- 2:05:11Speaker 15: ought to be devoted to the students who are there legally.
- 2:05:13Speaker 15: That's one of the challenges that many people have with this.
- 2:05:16Speaker 15: And by the way, the same people who are clamoring
- 2:05:18Speaker 15: and want the people who are there illegally to be
- 2:05:20Speaker 15: educated are also the people that will tell you there
- 2:05:23Speaker 15: aren't enough funds in our school system.
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe going back to fraud, waste and abuse, Jack,
- 2:05:27Speaker 1: we got like six billion dollars we could round up
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: for medicaid. Hey, why not use that or whatever, considering
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: your point a very valid one finite amount of dollars
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: and an infant number of needs and demands on government
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: to use that money for all. Right, This sounds to me, Jack,
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: if I was in front of a classroom, if I
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: was an educator, this topic sounds like a wonderful civics
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: lesson opportunity. You can explain the concept of federal laws
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: and federal supremacy. You can talk about the concept of
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: the laws that are on the books regarding who is
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: lawfully in our country and who is not. Now, then
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: you subset and say we can have a disagreement on
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: the state of the law. We could argue about whether
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: that's a good law or a bad law, and we
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: can make decisions in a democratic society representative form of government,
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: of course, giving an opportunity to talk about that, to
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: elect people who will either abide by that because we
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: like it, or change it because we don't. This is
- 2:06:22Speaker 1: how it works. Though the Feds are allowed to do this.
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: I am maybe personally against it, but it is lawful.
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: It's a great civics lesson.
- 2:06:33Speaker 3: I mean, it would be a great you should teach that.
- 2:06:37Speaker 3: You should teach that because at the end of the day.
- 2:06:39Speaker 3: That's what I've been screaming for weeks.
- 2:06:41Speaker 15: You have the legislative branch that makes laws, the executive
- 2:06:44Speaker 15: branch that enforces laws, and the judicial branch that handles
- 2:06:47Speaker 15: the squabbles. These guys, these agents are actually going out
- 2:06:51Speaker 15: and enforcing the law. That's their constitutional prerogative. That these
- 2:06:55Speaker 15: are laws that have been enacted by Congress. And so
- 2:06:58Speaker 15: we can squabble over a warrant signed by a judge
- 2:07:01Speaker 15: versus a warrant signed by an administrator. But at the
- 2:07:04Speaker 15: end of the day, even the courts have said, if
- 2:07:06Speaker 15: it is a you know, final pickup, they have the authority,
- 2:07:10Speaker 15: even with an administrative warrant, to go in and do that.
- 2:07:12Speaker 15: And I'm going to remind people, Brian, I didn't think
- 2:07:14Speaker 15: I was going to go down this alley, but I will.
- 2:07:16Speaker 15: The number one issue when we talk about the bad
- 2:07:20Speaker 15: people being here are gang members, right MS thirteen trendy Arragua. Well,
- 2:07:24Speaker 15: guess what the wheelhouse for those gang members ages fifteen
- 2:07:29Speaker 15: to twenty three. And I will remind you we picked
- 2:07:31Speaker 15: up a twenty three year old gang member in Perry'sburg,
- 2:07:34Speaker 15: Ohio who was posing as a sixteen year old student
- 2:07:37Speaker 15: in the school. So to pretend like we're going after
- 2:07:41Speaker 15: innocent children is not the full story. Sometimes there are
- 2:07:44Speaker 15: gang members in the school, and shame on the schools
- 2:07:47Speaker 15: for not doing their due diligence to make sure that
- 2:07:49Speaker 15: the student enrolled is the actual student.
- 2:07:52Speaker 1: Jeez, Louiz, you know here I was thinking, maybe they
- 2:07:55Speaker 1: were just going into schools to get educators who are
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: unlawfully in our country who may have been convict that
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: of child molestation or something. You got adults going to
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: your high school. Isn't that something political stripe, regardless that
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: you don't want to have happening. I would think most
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: people logically and reasonably would say yeah, But we don't
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: live in a logical and reasonable time, Jack windsor pivoting
- 2:08:14Speaker 1: over the man. I have been impressed by vvik Ramaswami
- 2:08:17Speaker 1: ever since I interviewed him at his book Woke Incorporated.
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: Brilliant Man. He is demonstrably successful, proven businessman, has solutions,
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: has answers, knows how business works, knows where the problems
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: are that we all face, the struggles with the regulatory structure,
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. So not a proven political candidate,
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: but a proven demonstrably competent man who can manage conversation too. Boy,
- 2:08:39Speaker 1: he is brilliant when it comes to conversation. Jack, you
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: interviewed him the other day. What was your takeaway?
- 2:08:44Speaker 15: My takeaway, there's an old proverb that comes to mind,
- 2:08:46Speaker 15: where there is no vision, that people will perish, and
- 2:08:49Speaker 15: vivik Ramaswami has a vision. He has a vision for
- 2:08:52Speaker 15: bold change and many people are attracted to that vision.
- 2:08:54Speaker 15: One of the things we talked about in the interview
- 2:08:56Speaker 15: yesterday is his gubernatorial fundraising records nine point eight million
- 2:09:00Speaker 15: in the second half of twenty twenty five, pushing the
- 2:09:02Speaker 15: total for the year to nearly twenty million dollars heading
- 2:09:06Speaker 15: into twenty twenty six. That is a boatload of money.
- 2:09:09Speaker 15: And then to your point about him being a political outsider,
- 2:09:12Speaker 15: I asked him, why did you choose Senate President Rob
- 2:09:14Speaker 15: McCully as your running mate? And he said, Senate President
- 2:09:17Speaker 15: McCully is a strong leader who's well respected by the
- 2:09:19Speaker 15: members of the General Assembly. He knows Ohio and not
- 2:09:22Speaker 15: only brings geographical balance, but he has the ability to
- 2:09:25Speaker 15: go to lawmakers and make the changes on the lawbooks
- 2:09:29Speaker 15: that we'll need so that we're not just implementing changes
- 2:09:32Speaker 15: by executive order.
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: And last time I talked to it's kind of funny
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: you brought that element up. Jack is because I said, so,
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: he knows the sausage making process, right, Yeah, that's it.
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: I don't. I've been outsider. He's been through this whole time.
