  Speaker 1: K r C, the talk station.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Joe Strecker had just dawned on me. The today is
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I mean literally just now I have the promo. Yeah,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the promo said something about Saint Patrick's Day, and that is.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That is today I have.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I have not one green item on my body right now.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I feel bad about that. I enjoy Saint Patrick's Day
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: as much as anyone else, but uh, my day will
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: be done at nine o'clock this morning, so I have
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: some opportunities ahead, so we will see what happens. And
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: good morning. It is Saint Patrick's Day. I'm Dan Carroll
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and for Brian Thomas, glad that Joe Strecker is here. Joe,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: were you rudely greeted by the weather this morning when
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: you walked outside got in the car?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I mean this is this is no joke. This morning
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: windy cold. When I came out, there was a burst
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: of snow that was coming down. Windshield wipers are frozen
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to the to the windshield. That's unbelievable. Yeah, So it
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: definitely feels like winter today and it's not going to
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: get any better during the course of the day. So
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: we have that to look forward to. We have some
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: things to look forward to today. Corey Bowman be here
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: in the seven o'clock hour. We'll talk to him about
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: a lot, a lot of a lot of city talk
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: gonna happen between at a seven o'clock.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And eight o'clock. We've got Cory. We've got Corey Bowman,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the man who would have been mayor. Talk to him.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: What's happening with the police chief, the whole There's an
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: ordinance now to stop the city takeovers, the street takeovers,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: which I mean you talk about, and look, I appreciate
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: the fact that the city council is trying to do
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: something about this. At least one member of council is
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Mark Jefferies, just a little bit behind the curve though
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: street ta. Mark Jeffries says the street takeover last night
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: was dangerous, guns recovered, eighty five percent of the cars
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: impounded non city residents. Cincinnati cannot be a destination for this.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: This is all true.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And then it turns out, I guess there was a
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: social media post which I did not know about yesterday
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and talking about this destination start location Columbus, Ohio. Destination Cincinnati, Ohio.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: So I guess this takeover ride went all the way
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: from Columbus to Cincinnati. So Mark Jeffries says, taking a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: stand and has a proposed ordinance to put a stop
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: to this. Therefore, we moved that the Administration Producer reports
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: in the next thirty days on the following a recommendation
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: on an ordinance similar to Louisville that puts in place
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a civil fine and impoundment of cars for up to
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: six months other policy choices city council can make to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: eliminate street takeovers. Do we need a specific ordinance for this?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Seems to me this would be something that would already
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: be under police purview, just to my way of thinking.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Seems to me that police would already have I don't know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: some thought on the way they deal with these things.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And it seems to me they did deal with these things.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: When you talk about seventy cars toad thirty five fifty
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: people arrested, however many it may have been. So congratulations,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Mark Jefferies, really very responsive to what's happening in the city.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And I mean that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: At least it shows some sign of life. I suppose
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: these street takeovers a there's the story from Fox nineteen.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Street takeovers are hugely dangerous. Dozens of people across the
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: country have been killed in them. If people say, wow,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: we don't want that, We don't want to do a
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: street takeover in Cincinnati because I'll lose my car for
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: six months, that's a big deterrent. People losing their property,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: people losing their their freedom, being locked up, that's a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: big deterrent. Well, maybe we are getting somewhere, So we'll
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: kick that around with Corey Bowman at seven oh five.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Will and Signal ninety nine is going to be here
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: for a segment at at eight oh five talk about
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the press conference with Steven m and Chief Fiji yesterday.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: What's happening there. There's also apparently some news surrounding the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the case of Fire Chief Mike Washington, which I need
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to get up to speed on, so I will endeavor
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to do that during the course of the show today.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: A good idea to say a prayer for Susie Wiles,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the chief of staff of President Trump, confirmed Monday that
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with cancer. He says, Susie
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Wiles great person, one of the strongest people I know.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: She's been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Trump says
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: she has decided to take on this challenge immediately, as
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: opposed to waiting. Trump writes she has a fantastic medical team,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: her prognosis is excellent. During the treatment period, she'll be
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: as President very high. Her strength and her commitment to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: continue doing the job she loves and does so well
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: while undergoing treatment tells everyone tells you everything you need
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to know about her. Susie is one of my closest
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and most important advisors. It's tough and deeply committed to
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: serving America. Or she is tough and deeply committed to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: serving America. She will soon be better than ever. Malanie
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and I are with her in every way. We look
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: forward to working with Susie on the many big and
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: wonderful things that are happening for the benefit of our country.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And Susie Wiles was Trump's campaign manager during the twenty
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: twenty four campaign, and she has been the chief of
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: staff since he has been back at the White House. So,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: if you are of such a mind, little prayer for
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Susie Wiles this morning, and not just her, but all
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: those who are dealing with various forms of cancer. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: so you can include Brian Thomas in then and he Joe,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: He's coming back tomorrow, right, Brian Thomas back here tomorrow
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: in this very seat. So that's good. So God bless
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Susie Wiles and what she is going through.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: What else? What else do we have?
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: We got the little up all Tom's Zoatowski will be
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: here at seven point thirty this morning and we will
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: talk to him about the Save Act and will the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: government ever get fully reopened again as it relates to TSSA,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: TSA agents and all the rest of that. So we've
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: got a lot of stuff to kick around with him,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of great feedback. On yesterday show, we spent
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: the seven o'clock and eight o'clock hours with Chris Smitherman
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: in studio. At least for me, that's never happened before,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: but it was it was great having Christman and you
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: talk about two hours that just that just flew right
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: by and we talked about all kinds of stuff and
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: along the way we were fortunate enough to get a
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: phone call from Vivek Ramaswami, so we got to hear
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: from hopefully Ohio's next governor and that was great. And
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: then Brad Winstrip was burning up the hotline as well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: So that was that was pretty good, pretty good two
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: hours of radio right there. And Joe Strecker tells me
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: it's on the podcast. If you want to go to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: what do they do there? Joe, just go to fifty
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: five KRC and dot com and you can dial it
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: up on the podcast.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: There is that how it works.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: So thank god Joe Streker takes care of all that,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: because there's no way I could do it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I just never was able to figure all that kind
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of stuff out.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I was complaining yesterday about my coffee cups and my
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: wife heard some of that and she says, oh, I
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: got one you can use. So it's sitting there this
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: morning by the coffee maker. Then the first thing I
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: noticed is it doesn't fit, Joe. It doesn't fit in
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the cup holder. So't I've got to keep one hand
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: on this coffee cup as I'm driving here this morning.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: The lid is a terrible design. You slide the thing
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: back and you can't get a decent sip of coffee.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: And then number three, it made the coffee taste funny.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And so that coffee cup was deposited in the garbage
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: can in the parking garage this morning, and that's where
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: it will stay until it makes its way to the landfill.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It is five fifteen. We got to get to a break.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about the weather coming up and a whole
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: bunch of other stuff, and hopefully you'll find it interesting,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: fascinating and stay tuned as we make our way till
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: nine o'clock this morning. Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas on
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: fifty five krs DE Talk states Now it is twenty
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: three at fifty five krc DE talk Station. Fifty five
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: krc DE Talk Station, Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: much stuff I wanted to get to yesterday and then
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: as it turned out, we uh the final two hours
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: of having Smith been in here just just I mean,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: it was it was great, but it just left so
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: much stuff on the table. A little overview of Operation
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Epic Fury. Friday, the thirteenth mark the beginning of the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: third week of the Iran War, and despite the doom
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: and gloom from Democrats in Congress, we are winning big time,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Chairman
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: of the Joint Chiefs General Dan kin raising Kine We
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: have destroyed ninety percent of rounds of Iran's ballistic missiles,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: ninety five percent of their drones. We are well on
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: the way to destroying their ability not just to assemble more,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: but to manufacture or missile and drone components. We've sunk
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: all major combatants of the Iranian navy and are now
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: turning to their mosquito boats, the speedboats hand fitted with
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: a couple of launch tubes that Iran hopes to use
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: to swarm US warships in the Persian Gulf. Our aircraft
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: dominate the skies to the extent they can that they
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: can loiter over target areas, wait for missile launchers to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: pop up, and then take them out. How are those
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: state of the art Chinese radars working out for you?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Have?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Iranians had some success? However?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: On Wednesday they managed to strike five commercial ships using
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: their drones. Two tankers, a container ship, a bault carrier
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: and a cargo vessel. Four were hit inside the Persian Gulf,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: the Fifth and the Gulf of Oman. The clear goal
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: of the attacks is to shut down the Straight of
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: hor moves all but to all but Chinese and Iranian
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: vessels and drive oil prices through the roof. Within hours,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: oil prices spiked to over one hundred dollars a barrel.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: President Trump responded by announcing the US would provide political
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: risk insurance and escort ships through the Strait. He also
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: announced he would release one hundred and seventy million barrels
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and temporarily waive sanctions on
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Russian oil. That claim, or that calmed I should say,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: both the oil and stock markets without the escorting a
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: single vessel. Democrats predictably, predictably screamed that they were allowing
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Putin to profit from the war. This past Friday night,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: President announced that he had launched a massive attack on
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: carg Island, Iran's biggest oil export terminal, a strategic move.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: By taking out all the military targets but sparing Iran's
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: oil export infrastructure, the President sent a message to Iranian's people,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: it's your turn. You don't need to remind any Iranians
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: of the significance of the nation's oil or dependence of
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the regime on the revenue it generates. The event that
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: triggered the revolution against the Shah was not Comeni's return.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: In January of seventy nine, but the general strike by
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: oil field workers one month earlier. Without oil exports, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: regime cannot pay its military. Without oil experts, the regime dies,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and the people of Iran know this. The next step
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: is for US to take control of the oil export
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: terminal or alternatively to place it under a naval blockade.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Taking control of Iran's oil resources will have a huge
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: psychological impact on the regime and signal to the Iranian
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: people that the regime's days are numbered. We should announce
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: that we are holding them in escrow for the Iranian
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: people once they have seized control of the government. Let's
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: see this piece goes on to talk about Oman, Turkey, Qatar,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: and let's see the says the regime leadership has apparently
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: fled to Tehran for Mashad on the border with Afghanistan.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: For the Isola Junior has gone to ground. There's I
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: guess there's still some question about whether or not he
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: is he is alive. And then saw all this reporting
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: about that the sun of come and he may be gay,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and that apparently would not sit well if he was
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: going to to be the leader of Iran. And apparently
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: this whole thing about him being good. Look, we don't
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: care if he's gay or not, do we. Apparently this
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: guy is going around hitting up people that he works with.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Apparently he's history. He's a real pain in the neck,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people don't want to deal with
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: this guy, the son of komayin E. So we'll see
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: what becomes of that. But yeah, things are things are
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: in flux right now, and so that's just sort of
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: a brief update of what's been happening with I mean,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: you see all these things. I saw a headline today
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: that more ships have been struck in the straight of
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: horror moves, and I mean, there's just been so much
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: fake news and you don't know if any of it's real,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: and you have to research everything two three and four
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: ways before you know whether any of this reporting is
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: factual or not. So it seems like we should have
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: more up to the minute reports of what's happening right now.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But there there are so many out theres who are
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: out there right now who are dedicated to putting out
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: fake propaganda on all of this, and so at least
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: from my perspective, it's going to tread a little lightly
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: on this stuff.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Five twenty six.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: We've got to get to a break and as we continue,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five kr CV talk station.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Here's what's happening.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: The streets are horror moves at fifty five kr CV
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: talk station, fifty five krs the talk station.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Big story last week was the revelation that the Pentagon
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: spent several million dollars on steak and lobster for our
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: US troops. And it turns out that this is really nothing,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that's all that unusual. And I say today, and I
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: said to that as soon as I saw that, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: don't care if they spent double that amount on steak
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: and lobster for our troops. Let them eat, and a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: great peace in town hall about this. As the conflict
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: involving around intensifies, the United States military focuses on deterring
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: one of its most dangerous adversaries, much in the national
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: media has chosen to focus on something else entirely, instead
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: of analyzing military strategy, deterrence policy, or the broader geopolitical
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: implications of confronting the Iranian regime, several outlets have focused
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: on a far more trivial narrative the Pentagon spending on
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: crab legs, lobster tales in steak. Headlines across left leaning
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: publications frame these expenditures as evidence of reckless or even
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: absurd spending under the Department of War. Secretary Pete Hegseth.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: CNN reported on the purchases. The Independent ran headlines emphasizing
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: that the US military spent millions on seafood before the
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Iran conflict. The Daily Beast portrayed the spending as part
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: of a broader effort to characterize hegset as irresponsible. Taking
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: in face value, those headlines sound dramatic. In reality, the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: narrative collapses the moment the numbers are placed in context.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: The Pentagon did spend millions on food items such as crab, lobster, steak.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: What many of these stories conveniently omit, though, is that
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: the Pentagon spend similar amounts under the Biden administration as well.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Using the same watchdog organization Open the Books, which released
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the September twenty twenty five spending report that many of
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: these left leaning outlets are citing, the story appears far
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: less scandalous than the headlines suggest. Federal agencies routinely accelerate
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: contract and grant spending in the final days of September
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: because unused funds can expire at the end of the
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: fiscal year. This pattern has existed for decades, and when
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I was talking about this story last week with a
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: couple of different guests I had on on my show
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: down the Hall, I said, I thought we were beyond that.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I thought we had.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Abandoned the notion of baseline budgeting that if you get
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: X number of dollars in a certain year and for
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, you don't spend all that money, that means
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: you have to either a give it back or b
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: you get less than next year. I thought we had
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: done away with that sort of thing, But apparently that
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: is a practice that is still in place in DC
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: as it relates to these government entities. The media correctly
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: reported that during the month of September of twenty five,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the Department of War spent fifty zero point one billion
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: dollars in the five final working days of the fiscal year.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: In fiscal year twenty twenty four, during the final year
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: of the Biden administration, the Department of the Spent Defense
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: spent thirty three point one billion in the last five
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: days of September. On September twenty seventh loan, the department
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: spent eleven point seven billion on contracts and grants. When
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: placed in that context, the fiscal year twenty twenty five
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: numbers become far more understandable. There is still roughly a
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: twenty billion dollar difference, which initially sounds large until the
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: broader context is considered. The defense budget itself increased between
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: those two fiscal years, the meaning of the end of
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: the year's spending surge naturally or meaning that the end
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: of the year spending surge naturally rose as well. The
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: spending pattern itself remains largely unchanged.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: By far.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: The biggest talking point the media has focused on involves
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: these supposed luxury spending on food. Once again, compared with
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: previous years, the numbers are far less shocking then the
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: headline would suggest. In September of twenty four the military
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: spent one hundred and three point seven million dollars on meat, fish,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: and poultry. Those purchases include six point one million dollars
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: on lobster tail, sixteen point six million on ribbi steaks,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: six point four million on salmon, four hund seven thousand
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: on Alaskan king crab. In September of twenty five, the
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Pentagon purchase six point nine million on lobster tails roughly
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: two million on Alaskan King crab. Those numbers, while frequently
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: presented as evidence of extravagant spending, are in reality the
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: cost of feeding one of the largest institutions in the
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: federal government. The United States Military serves millions of active
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: duty personnel, reservists, and civilian employees across hundreds of bases worldwide.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Food procurement for an.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Organization on that scale will inevitably involve large numbers. More importantly,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the spending increases are modest. Lobster tail purchases increase roughly
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand dollars between the two years. When inflation
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: and food prices fluctuation are taken into account, the difference
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: becomes less significant, and so it goes on to break
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: down all. I mean a lot of numbers here when
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: talking about Ribbi steakes and sam and all the rest
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: of it. But I just thought it was ridiculous how
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: many different media outlets, how many different pundits tried to
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: get mileage out of this notion that there was irresponsible
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: spending on behalf of pete Hegseth. When it comes to
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: what are men and women in the military are eating,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and everyone I talked to, everyone that I most reasonable
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: people that I saw posting on social media, said look,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: when it comes to spending tax dollars in this particular area,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I don't care. Spend as much money as you want
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: and let our troops eat as best as they possibly can.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: And I don't care if it's a regular day at
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: the chow haul, if they have steak every day, if
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: they have lif obster tale crab legs every single day,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: that is fine by me. And I would imagine that
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: most people in this audience would feel the same way
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: about that. Five point thirty six, we'll get to a
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: couple of phone calls on the other side, Dan Carroll
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRCD talk station.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Everyone our latest number, stink uh.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Talk station, fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Now it sounds like you got traffic headaches to deal
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: with as well. What a day, What a Saint Patrick's
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: day We've got going on. Now, We've got Tom on
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: the line, who's been on hold for a little while,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: to see what is on Tom's mind this morning.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Then we got Jay and Tim and Tom's fifty five KRC.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: How's it going top of the morning to you?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Top of the morning? Happy St.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Patrick?
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: Yes, indeed this Uh, this is always one of my
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: favorite days of the year because it was my dad's
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: favorite holiday.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: The man, the man never remembered my birthday, even though
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: it's five days from today and my middle name is
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: because of this holiday. He never remembered when my birthday
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: was or how old I was. But I but I
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: always got a card on Saint Patty's Day. He always
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: called me on Saint Patty's Day.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: It was. It was quite.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Quite amazing, so close enough med memories. It was on St.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Patrick's Day.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: It was I remember I went out with a buddy
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: of mine says, hey, let's go riding, and it was
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I think it was about three years ago, and we
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: went out riding and we you know, we visited some
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: friends and hit a couple of different establishments and it
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: was it was a beautiful day for riding. But that
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: is not happening today, I can tell you that much.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Well, not going out in this Yeah, your your last
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: topic there.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I'm kind of torn because I'm on record as saying
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: we should take every opportunity we cand to try to
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: save some money and uh, you know, cut down what
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: we spend. But you are absolutely correct. If there's anybody,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: any group of people that deserves some extra special treatment,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: uh for what they do for our country and has
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: to be our military, and uh, those guys and gals,
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: they yeah, they definitely deserve some extra special treatment. But
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: you know, it brings us into the conversation about the
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: whole you know, spending money. And when we get to
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: the end of the year, we got extra we should
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: take advantage of that and go, hey, hey, we've we've
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: got left over money here, Well let's say it.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And I've got I've got some audio on this coming
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: up a little bit later on. But President Trump signed
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: an executive order yesterday to put JD. Vance in charge
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: of the government wide effort to root out wasteful spending, fraud,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and abuse. And and Steven Miller was there and and
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: he put it in context during the during the signing ceremony,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: and he said, if if we could just get out
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: the fraud and the money that is being stolen from
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: the federal government every year, he said, we would balance
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: a budget. And Scott Descent put it at six hundred
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: billion dollars.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: A year that is wasted on this.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So when it comes to spending on food for the troops,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I say, is spend more, spend more on it. Yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, spend more, spend spend as much as
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: we can possibly spend taking care of those men and
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: women who are wearing the uniform every day.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: And you're and you're going to find wasteful spending on
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: both sides of the aisle. But as I always say,
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Tom.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. I appreciate that. Let's go to
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Jay in Centerville and Tim and Fairfield. Jay, how are
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: you doing this morning?
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Dan, good morning, How are you good?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: What's up? Jay?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Good? Hey.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I wanted to share a little warning. I spent about
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: nineteen years in Portland, Oregon.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: Boys, I'm starting to see parallels.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Between Cincinnati, boy, and if you've heard anything about what
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Portland is like recently, it's a shame. I moved there
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: at nineteen ninety three. It was nirvana. It was absolutely beautiful.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: It was safe.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: You didn't see a piece of garbage on the ground,
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: you didn't see any homeless people. It was pristine. Fast
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: forward today. The building I worked in in downtown Portland
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: was the most prestigious, largest, fanciest building you could possibly
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: work in. It just sold a few months ago for
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: ninety percent less than it did in twenty fifteen. Nobody
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: goes downtown, you know why, because it's dangerous. It's what
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: all the news stories about what's happening in downtown Cincinnati
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: over the Rhine is starting to build at the hands
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: of AFT have Purvol and his police consultant, and I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: seeing the same thing and it scared me. My girlfriend
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: lives in Clifton, I live in Centerville. I'm down in
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: OTR in downtown Cincinnati almost every weekend, and there's times
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: we're feeling a little of us down there now. And
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: I want everybody to think about what Seattle, Portland, and
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: San Francisco look like now. And you have a very
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: similar leader with AFTAB and this can happen here.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Portland is a sanctuary city and they've got yeah, yeah,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: they want to you know, I don't know what they've
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: done with their police force there, but I would imagine
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: they had to defund the police movement there as well.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've done exactly the same thing and they've hired
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: police chiefs that will be woke and to the leftist line.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: We even had a mayor out there he was kind
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: of the start of the demise, who was a self
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: proclaimed anarchist, but he had also been the.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Chief of police at.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: One point and that's when the city started to really
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: go downhill. And there was a guy there that named
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Ted Wheeler who was the last mayor who he and
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Aftab are carbon copies, and it's just scared me. I
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: love Cincinnati. I was born in Mount Airy. I spent
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of time down there, in my extended families
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: all down there. If people don't wake up and insist
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: that Iris Roi goes, she's a piece of garbage, and
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: that they start to actually enforce the law and make
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: the city safe again, it will turn into another Portland.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: The trailblazers are even leaving the city.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got you know.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at there.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at a picture of Portland right now, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: right in their downtown area, they've got all these solar
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: panels arrayed there. I guess they're trying to get all
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: this solar energy here. Here's the mayor's priorities. Keith Wilson
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: and unsheltered homelessness. That is his number one priority. Let's
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: see restore public safety, health and confidence rapidly, expand affordable housing,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: make local government smarter and more effective, and then make
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Portland a climate leader. So those are the top priorities
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: or the for the mayor in Portland. And nothing about police,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: nothing about public safety, nothing about the fiscally responsible government.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: And yeah, when you look at those priorities and the
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: mumbo jumbo that goes along with that, it seems like
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: we got a lot of the same stuff happening here
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: in Cincinnati.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Well, and and then the homelessness thing is an industry
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: out there. It's a lot like what's going on in Minnesota.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: The Fed send money, goes to the city, it gets
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: handed to ng o s. The n g os hire
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: unqualified new companies that just pop up to run these programs,
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: and then they fund Democrat campaigns with that money, and
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: that cycle goes over and over again. And the people
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: that really deserve the help, the homeless, people that are
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: mentally ill or were one paycheck away.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: From being on the street, those are the last ones
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: in line because all the money gets funneled into a
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: whole lot of other pockets before it goes down.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: But if you're a if you're a homeless by choice,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: and there's a huge population of that out there who
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: wants to sit around and smoke pot and play guitars
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: all day Partlins, you'll be the first one in line.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Jai Way, I hope everybody pays attention. All right,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I'm watching.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jay, we'll be talking in the seven eight o'clock hour.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: We'll be talking all about it. So Jay, I appreciate
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: the phone call this morning, and we will talk to
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Jay later. Tim and Fairfield hang on, we'll get to
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: you in a jiffy. Fifty five KRC. He Talks station.
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: Got a hot take read the room.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Don't let me talk station.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC The talks Station, Tan Carroll for Brian Thomas.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Time to squeeze in one more phone call here before
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: we get to the break at the top of the hour.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: And this is Tim and Fairfield. Tim fifty five KRC.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: How's it going?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: Dan?
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: How are you today?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: All right? What you got for me?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: I got a nice warm, hot cup of coffee here,
• 34:02
  Speaker 9: and I'll tell you how I do it every morning?
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: All right? Let me hear it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: First.
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: I got a big Bubba cup is what it's called.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: Look it up on Amazon Barba.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It's thirty ounces.
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: And uh, what I do before I put coffee in
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: it is I put hot water in it. Yeah, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: no hot water heats up the cup before your coffee
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: goes in, and your coffee stays warmer longer because you're
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: not heating the cup up with the coffee. And that
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: that's why your coffee gets colder faster. So uh, that's
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: a little thermodynamic lesson for you today.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Let the let the hot water do the work, not
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: your coffee. I love that, so Tim, Uh look good
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: to see your thinking out there this morning.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: And we appreciate that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: And that is just enough to get us here to
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: the break at the top of the hour. As we
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: head into news, it is Dan Carroll in for Brian

• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a little bit irish nose strucker. You got any Irish.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Engine done half German, half Irish. So if Jose one
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: hundred percent German. But hey, you know what, on Saint
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Patrick's Day, everyone is a little Irish. So go out
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: and celebrate today. I may be out there, I may not.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: It depends green spaghetti.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Good luck with that. I'm told.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Real irishmen don't drink green beer though, So if you
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: but if you want to go out and have a
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: green beer, by all means moderation, moderation, moderation in all things. Ah,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: what is going on? I have long said that Californians
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: have lost their minds? And on Friday, President Trump signed
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: an executive order giving the Department of Energy authority to
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: invoke the Defense Production Act, a nineteen fifties Cold War
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: era law, to force the restart of a dormant offshore operation,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: an oil operation off the coast of California. The Energy
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Secretary Chris Wright acted the same day, directing Sable, a
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: short Courpate, Houston based company, to restore operations to the
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Santa Ynez Unit and the Santa Ynez Pipeline off the
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: coast of Santa Barbara. Today's order will strengthen American oil supply,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: restore a pipeline system vital to our national security and defense,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: ensuring the West Coast military installations have the reliable energy
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: critical to military readiness, right said in a statement. So
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: you've got essentially oil rigs out there off the coast,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: oil pipelines off the coast, apparently in working order, and
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: they have not been used for god knows how long.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: But they want to make sure that the military installations
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: in California have the oil and the resources that they need.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: So the Defense Production Act is being invoked here. I'll
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: give you one guess who, as soon as he heard
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: about it, said nope, I'm going to fight this, And
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: of course that is Governor Gavin Newsom, knew some wasted
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: no time. Called the order an attempt to illegally restart
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: a pipeline whose operators are facing criminal charges and prohibited
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: by multiple court orders from restarting. He pledged California would
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: take prompt legal action. His office framed the action as
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: a political stunt that would contribute just zero point five
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: percent to total global crude output and do nothing to lower
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: gas prices at the pump. Well, that may be true,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: but what did the president say at the top. This
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: is to make sure that the military installations in California
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: have the resources that they need. We are at war,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: whether or not it's been confirmed by the Congress or not.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: We are taking military action in Iran. And apparently it
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: is too much to ask for the Governor of California
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: to be a team player in this effort. So we
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: see where he stands along the same lines as Californians
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: losing their mind. And I actually I had to read
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: this article twice to make sure that that it was true.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: And this comes from the Federalist. Is a great website.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a website I literally look at every
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: single day, whether I have a show or not, because
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: you find things on the Federalist that and write a
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: great writing on the Federalist that you just don't find
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: any place else. And they've got a piece entitled California
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: fights to screen men for cervical cancer and it starts
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: off like this. If you have a penis and testicles,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: you may have strang with a bigoted gynecologist who wouldn't
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: give you a PAP smear or to screen you for
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: cancer for the cervix that you don't have. The doctor
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: may have deflected blaming your cruel health insurance company for
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: refusing to cover the cost of the test. If this
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: happens to you, don't worry California legislature as you're back
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: today in Sacramento, the Assembly Health Committee will take up
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: a bill to forbid gender discrimination by health insurance companies
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: from the legislative introduction. This is what the bill reads.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: The bill would prohibit a health care service plan or
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: health insurer from taking specific actions related to providing access
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: to health programs and activities, including, but not limited to,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: denying or limiting health care services to an individual based
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: upon the individual's sex assigned it birth, gender identity, or
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: gender otherwise recorded. So if this bill passes, you cannot
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: be denied any type of care in California because of
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: the sex you were quote assigned at birth. When the
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: doctor there the day you were born looked at your
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: genitalia and declared your identity a male or female, your
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: declared gender identity will determine what tests you can get
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: in Californy if this bill passes. If you don't have
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: a uterus or ovaries, but you still want to be
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: tested for pregnancy, the healthcare industry will not all be
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: allowed to be mean to you. So think about what
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: that means. That means if you are born and we
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: all know, I think we've got a pretty good understanding
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: of a difference between men and women. You can in
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: California under this bill, if it passes, you're a man,
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: you will be able to go into a doctor's office
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: and demand that you be tested for pregnancy, demand that
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: you get a papsmerror, demand that you get your uterus
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: or ovaries looked at, get tested for whatever you get
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: tested for. As I don't know all the women stuff
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: that when they go in and see they're the women doctors,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: the gynecologists. But all those services will now be available
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: to you. And so the legislature, these lawmakers there who
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: and I watched the there's video attached to this, and
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I watch the press conference that they have. They have
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: in California. They have the TGI Fund, which is the Transgender,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Diverse and Intersex Fund, and they talk about all this
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: money that's going to go to this fund. And now
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: they've changed the name of the Transgender and Intersex Fund
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: to the two, the number two TGI Fund because this
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: they've now included two spirit to be inclusive in the
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: t the TGI Fund was not inclusive enough because it
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: didn't recognize so called two spirit people. So now it
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: is it is the two TGI Fund. And so, look,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: you have the right in America that if if you
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: are born a man and you feel like a woman,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: you can pretend all day long that you are a woman.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: You can make yourself up to look like a woman,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: you can dress like a woman, you can go out
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: if you're an adult, you can have the surge, you
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: can you can do all that kind of stuff.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: To pretend that you are a woman.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Now, in California they want to pass a law that
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: says doctors are compelled to pretend as well. So a
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: doctor cannot look at you and say, look, I can't
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: give you a PAP smear because you don't have the
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: right body parts. I can't test you for pregnancy because
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: you can't get pregnant. Can't do that. The doctors have
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: to pretend as well. And so I would think about
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: you know what would Brian Thomas think about this? And
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I think he would say, well, doesn't this open the
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: door to all kinds of litigation in the future if
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: you're not happy with how do those test results come
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: back in a truthful and substantive way that correctly and
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: honestly gives you an assessment of whatever medical condition that
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: you're going in there to be treated for.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: How can you possibly.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Get that if the doctor has to pretend and go
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: along with your particular with your particular fantasy on this,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: How can that possibly happen? How can and are we
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: going to start seeing these if a law like this passes?
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Are we going to see these kinds of consequences on
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: the other side of this, because and you should see
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: these people, they are very very proud of themselves that
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: they are taking this stand for so called transgender and
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: diverse and intersex rights that again they want to force
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: the medical profession to pretend that a man is a
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: woman and a woman as a man. These people have
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: absolutely lost their minds.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: In California.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: We got to get to a break six sixteen, Dan
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Here's what's happening. The streets are poor moves being jested.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC, the talk station, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: We're talking about this this bill in California that's going
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: to be introduced today that will force doctors to treat
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: patients and treat body parts that patients don't have. The
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: bill was introduced by an assembly member don Adtis, Democrat
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: from the Central Coast, former teacher, former union leader, former
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Planned Parenthood board member. So if the writer of the
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: piece sums it up like this, remember, if you have
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: male sexual anatomy tested for cervical cancer, next year, you'll
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: be standing up to Trump. So in her introduction into
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: this bill, she of course bashed Trump and the Trump
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: administration for their meanness and their cruelty and their bigotry
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: towards the transgender community. And so if you go in
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: for treatment for body parts that you don't have, and
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: you force a doctor to provide that treatment or provide
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: that examination, then that is striking a blow against the
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: man in the White House. So congratulations to our friends
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: in California. Let's go to Alan Cleveland or Cleveland, al Al.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning.
• 48:00
  Speaker 10: I'm fine. Thank you for covering for the chief while
• 48:05
  Speaker 10: he is recovering from his chemo. Yes, And I just
• 48:13
  Speaker 10: was thinking as you were reporting on this story, this
• 48:17
  Speaker 10: this opens up a pretty good opportunity for people to profit.
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: You know, I think if if males can pretend to
• 48:27
  Speaker 10: be females, I can pretend to be a doctor and
• 48:30
  Speaker 10: pretend to give them the tests that they want and
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: may make some cash from it.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: May pretend you can charge can you charge real money
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: for for providing pretend services?
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe going on all the time?
• 48:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, all right, have a good day, Democrats.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Democrat, Yeah, this is this is what you get.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: And this woman's a Democrat and she's got people standing
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: behind her, some very serious looking individuals who are again
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: very proud of themselves that they are standing up for
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: the rights of these individuals. Cribbage, Mike, what say you?
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Dan.
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: Well, I guess that's just another thing that Gavin Newsoen
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: can run on in two years, is what he could
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: do for America.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing?
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Look and if you if you remember when Kamala Harris
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: was the Attorney General of California, she bragged about how
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: she led the way so prison inmates in California could
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: seek gender reassignment surgery. She was she talked about how
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: that was she.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Was very proud. Remember I remember running clips from that.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Interview, and she was very proud of that that I
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: you know, I guess she thought that, would you know,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: help help pave the way for her to become President
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: of the United States or whatever office she was going
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: to seek beyond attorney general in California. But she bragged
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: about that about how she led the way so our
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: prison in a population could could have transgender surgery. And
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: they but think about that. I mean, they really want
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: you to go in there, and they have a They
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: want to force doctors and insurance companies to pretend that
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: you are going to have some sort of pelvic examination
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: as a dude, and I guess get a report on
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: the health of your of the body parts that you
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: don't have.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 50:43
  Speaker 8: Hypocrits do no harm?
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: How do you do that?
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah? I don't understand what Saint Patrick stay story before
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: I get the stake in lobster. Okay, I was going
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: through apprenticeship training in the Navy in nineteen seventy six,
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: and I guess the club manager ordered too many kegs
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: of old Millwaukee Green beer. So the following weekend, he's
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: the club was selling it to all those young sailors
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: at twenty five cents a pitcher. Now, what could possibly
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: go wrong there? No, and once again the trunk arrangements
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: trunk arrangement system media thought they had another gotcha with
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: Pete Hexas and just ran with it before they did
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: any research. You know, A board submarines, which I'm definitely
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: in tune with. You know, we yes, we had staken
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: lobster going all the way back in nineteen seventy six. Yeah,
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: and usually it meant one of two things. Either one
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: we were getting extended on deployment or two we were
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: having an inspection coming up and we're going to have
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: VIPs on board.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: You know, in your time in the Air Force, whether
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: it be a chowha or board ship, nothing affects morale
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: more than your two or three squares a day. Absolutely,
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: And what was unique about a submarine is that we
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: don't have the space to where the officers are eighty
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: one thing. They're eating steak and lobster, and the cruise
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: eating SOS. And anybody in the military knows what SOS did,
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: absolutely well. Everybody from the seamen recruit up to the
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: captain eats the same meal. So once again it isn't
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: like the admirals and the generals are getting steak in
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: lobster and the heck with the crew or we're just
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: wasting money. You know it just they didn't do their
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: research and once again it came back to bite them.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: But you know, Mike, the previous story I had about
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Trump invoking the Defense Production Act and they want to
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: open up a a doormant offshore drilling area off the
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: coast of California to do what to provide military installations
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: in California with the petroleum resources that they need. And
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom his reflex reaction to that is to stand
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: up against it and say no. So even at a
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: time like this, asking Gavin Newsom to be a little
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: bit of a team player apparently is a bridge.
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: Too far makes no sense.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: Well, if you if you know who Gavin Newsom is,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: it makes perfect I think it reveals a lot about
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: the kind of character that this guy has. Stand against
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: Trumpet every possible every possible intersection. Absolutely, Mike appreciate the call.
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: Thanks Dan, All right, there you.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Go, cribbage.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: Mike always appreciate him in his service. Six twenty eight

  Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the talk Station.
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas and I talk about Californians,
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: the lawmakers in California losing their minds, and it is
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: not any veteran Virginia Immigration and Customs enforcement and asking
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Virginia officials, including the Governor, Abigail Spanberger.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Who are you like me?
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, anytime I see a picture of this woman,
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I just see that smug, arrogant, condescending look that is
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: on her face at all times. I mean, I really
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: think she has a sense that she knows that she
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: is screwing the people of Virginia over in the worst
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: ways possible, and she just doesn't care. She's got the power,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: she's the governor, she's in charge, and she's going to
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: do whatever the hell she wants. But ICE is asking
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Virginia and the governor not to allow an illegal alien
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: to be released from jail. This illegal alien is an
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: adult but accused of groping about a dozen girls in
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: the hallway of Fairfax County High School. The nineteen year
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: old illegal alien should not have been attending a Virginia
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: high school and allowed to pray on innocent teenage girls,
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: said Lauren Biss of the Department of Homeland Security. I
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: guess Lauren Biss is the one who has taken the
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: place at Trisha McLaughlin. This dude faces nine counts of
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: assault and battery, yet another example of the Biden administration's
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: failed open border policies. We're calling on Fairfax County sanctuary
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: politicians to not release this predator from jail back into
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: our communities to assault more teenage women. Unfortunately, Governor Spanberger
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: has ended cooperation with ICE and is siding with criminal
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: illegal aliens over American citizens. Last week's last week, the
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Fairfax County Sheriff arrested Israel Flores or Teaes and the illegal
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: from Il Salvador, who crossed into the United States through
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: the Mexican border in twenty twenty four. Released into the
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: United States by the Biden administration. He's an adult but
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: attends Fairfax County High School. Police say that he groped
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: about a dozen girls in the hallway of the high
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: school over the course of many months. Already, Fairfax Commonwealth
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: County or Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano agreed to let Ortiz
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: walk out of jail, but a judge denied him permission
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: to do so.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: So.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Apparently, this guy is still locked up and I should
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: go in there as quickly as possible and arrest this dude,
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: or they're going to have another situation like they had
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: back in February. ICE had a detainer lodged against this
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: dude in Virginia, Abdul Jealo thirty two years old, and
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: he allegedly stabbed to death. On February twenty third, Stephanie Miller,
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: forty one years old, found dead at a bus stop,
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: multiple stab wounds to the upper body.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: This dude's an.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: Illegal alien from Sierra Leone. Came to the United States
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: in twenty twelve. Dude already had a criminal history of
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: more than thirty arrests, rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession,
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: identity theft, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: a minor. They issued ICE tod issued a detainer for
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: this guy in twenty twenty. He was granted a final
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: order of removal by a judge, so he had due
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: process and Virginia just let him go because this governor,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: Abigail Spanberger says, Nope, We're not cooperating with ICE, and
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: we are going to let these people walk our streets.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: So whether it's girls in high school getting molested by
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: some strange dudes, some illegal alien from another country who
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be in high school to begin with, shouldn't even
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: be in the country to begin with. They get victimized,
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: and then innocent women get stabbed to death at a
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: bus stop.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: These are the real victims.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: The real consequences of these idiotic liberal policies. And they
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: think they're so smart and so much better than everyone else,
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: and they don't give it the people that they claim
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: to care about. They don't give a damn about the
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: consequences for any real Americans, for real people. Six point

• 59:14

• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Is that really?
• 59:18

• 59:20
  Speaker 3: say after you've had a couple of belts hard.
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: Telling, it goes back away. As far as.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: I know, I've heard that one for many many years.
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: Here you go. But anyway, I was wondering, you know
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: that they're bringing this oil in off the coast of California,
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: hopefully for supposedly for military basis. It's not going to
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: be refined. Are there's still any refineries left?
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: I think there's some refineries.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: I just saw the other day where President Trump announced
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: the building of a new refinery that's going to be
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: in Texas somewhere.
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: First new refinery to be in Brownsville.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: First new refinery built in America in more than half
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: a century.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Think about that.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: How how can you go fifty year, fifty years at
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: a time between building refinery. So I think there, I
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: think California does maintain some refining capacity, and so that
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: obviously that I would think that the pipeline's there, and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: whatever mechanism they have for getting the oil offshore would
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: have to go directly to a refinery or obviously a
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: holding facility somewhere.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: And then onto a refinery.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think California does have some refining capacity.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought that stuff was all gone because of
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: all the environmental wacko stuff going.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: That's why they shut it all down. That's why, that's
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: why it's all been shut down. California used to produce
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of oil, but of course they they are
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: and and now they they import oil from whether the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: Bahamas are somewhere. I mean, it's ridiculous that they're importing oil.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: They've they've got lots of oil under their feet, but
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: in California they have been willing to sacrifice there of
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: their their fiscal sanity and their fiscal well being on
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: the altar of the environmental radicals.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: Well, California has been kind of nutty for a long time.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Very nutty.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: Probably probably the probably the largest insane asylum in the world.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: You remember what you remember what Archie Bunker said about
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: that back on Are you old enough to remember the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: old in the family days?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: I'm older than you.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: Archie Bunker said, California is the land of fruits and nuts,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: and all the nuts are a little fruity, and all
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: the fruits are a little nutty.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, there was an old joke going around a
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: while back. Y' also might remember about they're going to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: change the name of California to granola, because if you
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: took all the fruits and nuts out, all you'd have
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: left is a few flakes.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Jim Ware, Hank.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: We could go all day on this, but I appreciate
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: the phone call this morning. Thank you very much, Hank.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And I said, Jim, because I saw
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: on my board here we got west side Jim and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: west side Jim.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: How are you this morning?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Dan. It's always great to hear you in
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Southern for mister Thomas as he's on the I R.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's always great to be here.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: This is the best audience in local radio right here,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: the fifty five KRC morning too.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking about this refinery stuff in California.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: We better win the next two elections because if we
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: get a Democrat president here and we have spent billions
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: of dollars building one of these refineries, he will stop
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: it halfway through. Sure, another waste that we've done. And
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I guarantee it'll be in the first week
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: that they'll be stopping that thing. Just like the pipeline
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: that goes from you know out in the Dakotas and
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: so forth.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: Well, look, the one of the reasons that we're able
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: to I think that Trump is able to take the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: actions that he's taken against the terrorist threat in Iran
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: is because of the position that Trump has put the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: United States in when it comes to energy, with the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: worldwide spectrum on energy and so with America leading the
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: way in oil production, and now we're going to have
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: control over what comes out of Venezuela. We're going to
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: have hopefully control over what happens in Iran. And look,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: these are not these are not moves that are being
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: made for conquest. These are moves that are being made,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: number one, to provide freedom for the people in those countries,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: and then number two, to provide economic stability, not just
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: for the United States, but for the entire world. And
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: so to my way of thinking, these are the big
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: picture issues that Trump is dealing with, and because of
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: the moves that he's made as president, we're in a position.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: And think about that, it's only been just over a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: year that Trump has been around to do that, and
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: we're in a position to do this now because of
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: the policies that he's put in place.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true, and you know, in his first term
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: he had four years of taking it easy and getting
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: his stuff with through. Well, this time around, he knows
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: he's only got he's not going to be reelected, so
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: he's got this one shot. So he doesn't want to
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: be just a lame duck president. But let me just
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: ask you, I've got a few years on you. Have
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: you ever seen a country so screwed up as what
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: we've got right now?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: No, especially when it comes to the Save Act. When
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: this notion that we can't get this kind of sensible
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: legislation through when we've got control of the House and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: the White House and the Senate.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: It is just beyond ridiculous.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: People like I mean, the notion that Mitch McConnell is
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: still around to throw a monkey wrench in the works
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: whenever he gets a chance. I don't know what's going
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: on with John Cornyn. I don't know what the deal
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: is with Thune. I don't know what Look if and
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: west Side, Jim, you know this, if the Democrats were
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: in charge, they would not be pussy footing around with
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: any of this kind of stuff. They would get rid
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: of the filibuster, they would control the Senate, and God
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: forbid that they win in November and get control of
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: one of those bodies of Congress, because the Trump agenda
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: will come to a grinding halt. And you know what,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: and you know who's going to be there, gleefully cheering
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: alongside them, maybe behind the scenes a little bit gonna
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: be a lot of rhino Republicans.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Are going to be just fine with all of it.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: And it's not gonna do you know, Dan.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: The only good thing about this whole deal is about
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: twelve o'clock today, I get to go to the doctor
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: and get my ovar east check.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: Thank god, thank god, you have a doctor that will
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: pretend right along with you.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, isn't that what we need more of?
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: Don't we need more of a you know, the medical
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: establishment pretending that as a woman and a woman as
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: a man.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: That's fair enough.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: It's bad enough you can't go to the doctor and
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: get what you need because of the all the rev regulation. Sorry,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: but now they got they just you know, pound it
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: on and add it up and put guys going there
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: and asking for all this goofy stuff. It's just ridiculous,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Have you ever see the country
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: so screwed up?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: The people in California have lost their minds. The people
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: in Virginia have lost their minds, and it is slowly
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: working its way right here to good old Cincinnati.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Jim. We got to run, yes, sir.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: Hey great great to hear your voice this morning. Thanks
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: for chiming in west Side Jim an absolute classic six
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: forty nine, fifty five KRC.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: The talk station got a dot just wanted to fifty
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: five KRC The talk Station Happy.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day. Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas. Corey
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: Bowman just a few minutes away. After the news here
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: at the top of the hour talk about Chief Fiji
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: and the Chief and her attorneys had a meeting with
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: The Chief did not speak yesterday, but her attorneys did,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: calling the investigation into her leadership a hatchet job, share
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: a long pleastigie on paid leave back in October hiring
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: the law firm a Frost, Brown and Todd to be
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: an independent counsel to conduct what it calls a review
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: into the effectiveness of Fiji's leadership. Finny law firm Steven
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: m said the findings of the firm's investigation are coming
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: soon and he believes it's going to be a hatchet
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: job that they thought it was going to be from
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: the very beginning. And this has gone on five plus
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: months now that we've been watching this, and we've had
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: a police chief who has given.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Her entire life.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: Look, I've had my disagreements with Fiji along the way.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: I think there are a lot of things that she
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: did that were quite good and quite effective. I think
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: there were times when she did her job in an
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: outstanding way. Haven't agreed with everything, But to treat a
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: woman like this who has given her an entire adult
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: life to the Cincinnati Police Force and just leave her
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: twisting in the wind like this.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: Is It's disgraceful. It really is.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: So we'll talk to Corey Bowman about that and some
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: other items as it relates to the city of Cincinnati
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: and all that is coming up on fifty five KRC,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: the talk stations we put the app in Happen fifty

  Speaker 3: Brian Thomas this morning, and glad I am to be
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: joined now by the man I like to call the
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: man in the arena bravely threw his hat in where
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: others had feared to tread for decades before. Corey Bowman,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: who bravely ran for the mayor of Cincinnati, got a
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: little bit of a beatdown, but he is he is
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: unbowed on bowed And Corey Bowman, it's great to have
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: you back on fifty five KRC. How are you this morning?
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 12: Hey, I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 12: I was a little surprised this morning. I woke up
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 12: to snow on my car. So I'm just trying to
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 12: figure out what twilight's going on in right.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: That was a little rude awakening. And I mean and look,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: I mean you listen to Chuck and seventy five and
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: Sparta is closed down, seventy one Fields Irtle is closed down.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: So the roads are a little tricky out there this morning.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: So you got you gotta be careful, Corey Bumman, that
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: there are so many man, there are so many items
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: that are percolating right now.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: Where do you want to start?
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if you had a chance
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: to listen yesterday, but I had Chris Smitheman in here
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: and we are talking about any number of issues as
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: it relates to the city, which I want to do
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: with you, And we spent a fair amount of time
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: talking about the city manager and this most recent review
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: of the of the city manager, and the headline in
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: the Inquirer is, you know, city council gives the city
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: manager share along a glowing job review. And it turns
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: out that the city manager wrote her own review talked
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: about all these wonderful accomplishments that she has, and Chris Smitheman,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: his analysis was was that this is her at the
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: beginning of her executing her exit strategy from the City
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: of Cincinnati. As you look at what's happening with the
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: city manager right now, do you size things up the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: same way?
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: How do you see it?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 12: Well, Christopher Smissman, I listened to him yesterday as well.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 12: He had some great points. And you know, chrispher was
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 12: an amazing friend of mine throughout last year the campaign
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 12: still is to day. I still call him up to
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 12: annoy him constantly when it comes to things along.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 8: With the city.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 12: But I think he's right on when it comes to
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 12: the city manager's position, because if we look at last year,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 12: you know, one of the biggest reasons I actually even
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 12: entertain the thought of running for mayors because we on
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 12: a coffee shop in the West End of Cincinnati, and
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 12: not last year, but the year before, the winter before
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 12: the snow removal was so terrible that customers couldn't come
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 12: into my shop for a week because of the snowplower
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 12: removal on the West End and that was very frustrated
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 12: not only to me, but many businesses that are in
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 12: the Downtown area Central Business District OTR. And that falls
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 12: directly under the leadership of the city manager. Now, the
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 12: way that our city is structured, technically, we should have
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 12: a strong mayor position.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 13: Now.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 12: A lot of the structure that you see is designed
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 12: in what's supposed to be called checks and balances, but
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 12: really what it is is that it's kind of a
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 12: scapegoat situation to where there's always a fall, there's always
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 12: somebody that's going to take the blame. That way, the
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 12: people at the top don't run their political careers. And
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 12: that's exactly what's happening with the city manager with the
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 12: mayor right now. And if you look at what's happened
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 12: just over the last year, and the only thing that
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 12: you have to say is that it was a glowing review.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: She did great.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 12: There's no corrections at least what the public sees needs
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 12: to be corrections. Well, then that's one of the only
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 12: solutions I have is that she's on her way out.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 12: She's going to take the fall or the blame, but
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: it's going to be done in a way to where
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 12: it seems like she's moving on or she's taking a promotion.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 12: But it doesn't change the fact that this is not
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 12: been a well run administration from the city manager's perspective.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 12: The snow file removal, the crime rate, the appointment of officials,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 12: the wrongful termination of Michael Washington as the police or
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 12: the fire chief. Now, this whole thing with police Chiefdigi
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 12: under our structure falls under the city manager.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the way that it's set up. But still,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: when it comes to the city manager having purview over
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: all these areas, you would expect, hopefully, you would expect
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: some results in some of these areas, but there are
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: so many items that are sitting on the table. We
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: spent some time with Chris yesterday talking about an eight
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollar unfunded liability as it relates
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: to the retirement program that the City of Cincinnati has
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: for its employees. There have been no meaningful efforts in
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: that area. We've got a police chief who's been twisting
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: in the wind for the last five months. We still
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: have the the settlement, and then it looks like the
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: settlement or the court case as it relates to the
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: former police chief, Mike Washington, is going to come down
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: in his favor. That's going to cost the city a
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: multimillion dollar settlement. So you don't see any of these
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: items addressed in the review when it comes to the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: city manager. And I just wonder, as mayor, would you
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: be okay with Look, the city manager should have a
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: regular review that goes before council, But as mayor, would
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: you be okay and would you abide the city manager
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: writing their own review that gets submitted to council for
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: their rubber stand.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 12: Well, here's the thing. If we need a third party
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 12: to investigate the police chief, if we need a third
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 12: party to do a bunch of other things, then we
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 12: would need a third party company or organization to do
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 12: the review of the city manager, I believe, and I
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 12: think that actually is something that has to do with
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 12: the budget as well. When to the budget and the
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 12: audit of how the money is spent in our city.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 12: I think that we need to bring in third party
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 12: auditors when it comes to that as well, because we
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 12: need accountability. You know, with any business, with any nonprofit,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 12: there's accountability, there's third party accountability, just to make sure
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 12: that there's no bias, and we're not seeing that city Hall. Really,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 12: what we're seeing is that, from my perspective, we have
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 12: a bunch of political pawns that get told what they're
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 12: what to do when it comes to City Council, when
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 12: it comes to the mayor. But really the power or
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 12: the monopoly that you see of power at City Hall
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 12: is in the City Manager's office, and a lot of
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 12: that comes even trickles down to the chief of staff
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 12: of the mayor, the chief of staff of the CPD.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 12: I saw that whenever I looked into the internal aspect
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 12: of the CPD. The City Hall has its hands and everything,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 12: and at the top of all that is the City
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 12: Manager's office.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think there was a time when the
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: city manager structure that we had here in Cincinnati was
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: good for the city and was responsive to Council and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: to what the city or the people of the Cincinnati
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: of Cincinnati needed and wanted. Was a good way to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: oversee economic development of the city. But it seems that
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: we've gotten to the point now to where we have
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know, certain individuals who look at what's happening
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: in the city are part of what is happening in
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: the city. And it seems that we cater to there
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: once needs and desires more than what is really needed
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: when it comes to what the city needs and wants
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: and desires. And I think that was pointed out in
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: the piece that David Ferrara had in the Inquirer on
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: March fifteenth, just a couple of days ago, talking about
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: fewer people going downtown to over the Rhine. And this
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: is something that this is right in your wheelhouse when
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: it comes to the perception and the reality of safety,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: of crime, of economic activity. This is something that you
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: live every single day as far as people people like
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: me who live in the suburbs who find any reason,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: and it gets easier and easier to find reasons not
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: to come downtown just simply because of the whole idea
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: that you know, I don't want to deal with everything
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: that comes with it, especially in a sense to where
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: it it accrues to the negative and it's it's Cory Bowman,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: this is not a good look that we have going on.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 12: And the nays there basically throughout the year was saying that.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 10: It was fear monger. You know, there was a bunch of.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 12: Fear mongering, and that's why people didn't feel safe to
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 12: come downtown. And that's why we heard the whole year
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 12: of perception. You know, it's a perception. And I use
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 12: the example of you know, we used to be in
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 12: or we still are in youth leadership and youth discipleship,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 12: and there'd be a case, you know, let's say there's
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 12: a case where a child comes in with a black
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 12: eye and says that they're they have a family member
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 12: at home that beat them. Well, I don't look at
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 12: them and say, oh, well, their perception is their reality.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 12: They they're perceiving that home is unsafe. No, they've been
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 12: beaten up at home. They're unsafe. That's the reality. And
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 12: so that's I feel like, well a lot of people,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 12: especially businesses and people that are trying to make their
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 12: living downtown, that's how they felt that whole year was
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 12: when they're geting told that a perception is their reality.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 12: But they're walking around with a black guy. They're walking around,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 12: you know, figuratively, but they're walking around seeing the violence
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 12: of downtown, seeing that it is an actual reality. It's
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 12: very discouraging for people that are downtown as well, because
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 12: you know, our business in the West End, it actually
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 12: thrives on people being downtown. I'm not trying to fear
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 12: amonger people not come downtown. We love Red games, we
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 12: love Bengals games, we love the rest shops. We love
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 12: everything about our downtown and central business districts and OTR
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 12: and the shops. We're trying to add more, but that
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 12: can't move forward with the crime the way it is
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 12: right now, because we've seen a rise in violent crime,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 12: even in this year after the election, after everything's trying
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 12: to be settled, and we're still seeing that uptick. We're
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 12: still seeing a year that's poised to even see more
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 12: victims this year than we did last year.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Corey Bowman, stay right there. We've got
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: to get to a quick break and we'll continue on
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: the other side with Corey Bowman on fifty five KRCV
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: talk station.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: But go our.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 14: I heard Radio Music Awards Hard.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Cutty PRONK Station.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRV talk station. We continue our conversation with
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: Corey Bowman and Corey Bowman, and just to put a
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: finer point on the point you were making a little
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: while ago about perception versus reality. It's bad enough when
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: you wake up and you turn the TV on and
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: Cincinnati is making national news because there's a beatdown that
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: happens in the street after a big weekend festival, or
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: there's a mass shooting at a nightclub in the East Side,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: any number of things. You know, kids being killed at
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: a local park, things like that. But it's the constant
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: stream of little things that don't make even the local news.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you talk to I talked to people constantly. I
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: came downtown and went back to my car, parked my car,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: and went back to my car. The window was smashed out.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: I got punched in the face coming out of a nightclub.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: I got stuck up with a gun in my face,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: and I had, you know, I had one hundred bucks
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: in my pocket and had to hand that over. That
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff happens on a seemingly daily basis. Anecdotal
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: evidence like that, But it's those kind of things that
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: people hear about, people will talk about. People tell me
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: about all the time.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: It doesn't even make local news anymore. If someone gets
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: shot and they don't get killed, well, it's maybe a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: one line in a thirty second vo that you see
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: on Channel twelve, five, nine or nineteen and that's the
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: end of that story. So even stuff like that where
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: someone gets shot, no one gets seriously injured or it
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: could be they think about that.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, someone.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: Getting shot that's a serious traumatic thing doesn't make the news.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: But it all accrues to this notion that we just
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: it's not a good idea to go downtown. So that's
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: the kind of stuff that I'm talking about when we
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: have this perception that we don't deal with prime here
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: in a serious way.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 12: No, you're absolutely right, And I'd go back to the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 12: case of Krishanda Win. Kashanda Win was a single mom
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 12: of five that was walking down West Nicking Street last
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 12: year and she was walking home from work. She wasn't
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 12: now at two am, and she was actually on West mcnickon.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 12: If you put it in your GPS and you're trying
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 12: to get let's say north to Butler County from visiting downtown,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 12: a lot of times it'll take you down these roads.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 12: If you're coming from OTR or whatever, it'll take you
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 12: down these roads because they're central roads. They're not like
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 12: back alleyways. And on that road, I saw the camera footage.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 12: I couldn't post it. I just posted the audio of
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 12: it on my social media. Last year, she gets gunned down,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 12: and I talked with her mother, Ronda Win, and she
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 12: tells me the condition of the kids. They're traumatized by it.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 12: You've got two I believe it's two tap football players
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 12: that were affected by it. That that was their mother.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 12: And this situation happened at ten pm, ten PM on
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 12: a major road in downtown Cincinnati, And situations like that
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 12: show that it can happen anywhere at any time, because
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 12: we also see shootings throughout the day. You know, we've
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 12: seen shootings that on Fountain Square and a restaurant where
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 12: the guy shoots into a window and then gets free
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 12: because it's said it's to be self defense.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Self defense, so everyone.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah, So every one of these stories have a purpose
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 12: to just show people it's not just about fear mongering.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 12: It's not about just always reporting the negative. That is
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 12: kind of the world we live into where it gets
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 12: more clicks, but that shouldn't be. The purpose of the
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 12: purpose is to expose these stories to show people we've
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 12: got to do better in our city. We've got to
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 12: be able to apply common sense things on public safety
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 12: and stuff that we've said since the beginning. We're low
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 12: on staff, we have to do more lateral hiring. We
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 12: have to back our police, we have to enforce low
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 12: level crimes that de escalate situations, and we need to
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 12: be able to hold the judges accountable, to be able
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 12: to hold these criminals because it's a small portion of
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: the population, a very small portion of the population is
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 12: conducting the majority of the crime, and it paints a
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 12: bad picture for the community, for the urban community, for
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 12: the people in the West End. They don't like it.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 12: It's all done by the same people every time, repeat offenders.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 12: But these have to be held accountable from the judicial
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 12: system as well. Twenty twenty six is an important election
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 12: year for judges in Hamilton County. We need to focus
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 12: on local issues. Yes, there's a governor's race and a
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: Senate race.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: And people need to get involved there, but.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 12: We need to focus on our local judges to make
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 12: sure that these criminals are held accountable at that level.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking about that when we had when
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: we had the shooting, the mass shooting, nine people shot
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: at Riverfront Live a couple of weekends ago, and the
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: day after that, the mayor comes out and puts out
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: a statement saying that he condemns the shooting and wants
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: to do everything possible to make sure the perpetrators are
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: brought to justice and all that sort of thing. And
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking to myself, why is the mayor making statement
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: about this? Why is that news? It's news because it
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen all the time. It is something that's what
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: news is. News gets reported because these are things that
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: people want to know about, and they are things that
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: don't happen on a regular basis. We don't have five
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: you know, houses don't burn down every single day. So
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: a house burns down, it makes the news. The mayor
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: comes out and makes a statement that makes the news,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: as if this was something that we are seeing from
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: the mayor that we don't see all the time, from
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: the mayor making a statement like this when it comes
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: to bringing the perpetrators of crime to justice.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: I think a sad statement on the state of affairs
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: that we have in Cincinnati when the mayor makes a
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: statement to bring people to justice, and that makes news
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: because it's so rare to get a statement like this
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: out of the mayor's office.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 12: Well, Dan, I will tell you this because in the
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 12: political world, everybody's just looking to fight everybody, even within
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 12: their own party during these primary seasons, and I think
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 12: that it is important to give credit where credit is due.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 12: Whether you see the motives behind it as right or wrong.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 8: It might be politically motivated.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 12: But when I first saw that statement, I was very
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 12: encouraged because I'm like, hey, at least the mayor is
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 12: bringing attention to it.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 12: Whether they're setting themselves up to let the city manager
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 12: go or have another scapegoat, I don't know, but there
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 12: is change that's needed and it has to happen from
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 12: the top down. So if we see I want to
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: encourage everybody because everybody will say, well, we don't praise AKA,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 12: don't praise the mayor. He's not doing a good job.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 12: But we've got to start somewhere. So we've got the
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 12: next three years to deal with this administration. So what
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 12: I would say is that if we're seeing statements where
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 12: he's wanting to back the police, if we're wanting to
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 12: focus on public safety. If he's actually acknowledging that we
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 12: need to fix the potholes, acknowledging that the judges need
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 12: to hold the criminals accountable, well, hey, I'll take whatever
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 12: crub we can get to be able to move forward
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 12: as a city. And we still hold the administration accountable
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 12: for things that need to be done. But whenever statements
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 12: like that happen, don't just move on to the next thing.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 12: Give credit where credit is due. And so I would
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 12: say that I don't by far, I don't agree with
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 12: everything that's happening from the mayor's office, but when I
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 12: see statements like that, I think that is at least
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 12: a small step in the right direction where we at
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 12: least have to acknowledge the problems in our city.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: That excellent response to that question, Corey Bowman. Do you
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: have time for one more segment?
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right, stay right there, We'll get to a
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: quick break and then we'll continue on with Corey Bowman
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: on fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 8: The Free I Heard Radio app has over one hundred
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 8: commercial free.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: KRC talk station.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRCV talk station. Just finishing up our conversation
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 3: here with Cory. Cory Bowman is always appreciate the time,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: always great to have you on. Council Member Mark Jeffries
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: put out a response to the street takeover. He's got
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: a proposal that would eliminate street takeovers in the city
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, and he wants to report in the next
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: thirty days, and so good luck with that, Councilman Jeffries.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that he is responding to this. But what
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: I'm a little bit surprised about is that he also
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: showed a social media posting where they actually the people
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: that were involved in this said hey, we're putting it
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: out on social media, starting in Columbus, going down to Cincinnati.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: And I'm a little bit surprised that the notion is
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: out there that Cincinnati is the place to go if
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: you want to go have a street takeover and drive
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: your hot rods and do donuts and all that other
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: crazy stuff on the streets of Cincinnati. That's my way
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: of thinking, is an unfortunate perception that is out there
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: amongst those people who would engage and things like this.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the mayor scheduled an interview with Rockstar
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 12: Games to try to get the next Grand Theft Auto
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 12: to be filmed here as well. Yeah, we couldn't get
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 12: the Sunday see that, we could get the Sundance Film Festival.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 12: So we're just going to video game.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: We're out now video games. That's great, that's great. But
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: you know, you talk credit, credit where credits do. It's
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit behind the curve.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: But you know, look, I think Cincinnati Police did a
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: great job on on clamping down on this whole notion
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: of these people doing crazy stuff and endangering people on
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: the streets of Cincinnati. So again a little credit, a
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: little bit behind the curve, but credit where credits due
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: to to try and see that these things don't continue.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 12: No, I think you're right, you know we when I
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 12: saw the posts, I thought the same thing as I
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 12: did when I've seen a couple of the mayor statements.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 12: Because this is a council that has been elected. They're
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 12: just starting this this year off in a newly elected year.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 12: So I told Mayor aft I have denied the election.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 12: I said that if you win, then we like as
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 12: far as like if you went throughout the year, if
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 12: your administration, then we went as a city. So I'm
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 12: rooting them on. I'm I'm praying for our leadership. As
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 12: much as I might disagree about certain things how it's
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 12: been handled. You know, we're in the city and we
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 12: need to be able to all move forward with this,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 12: so just to get acknowledgement of the issues when it
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 12: comes to that from Mark Jefferies and others. I even
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 12: had a conversation with Councilwoman Mika Owens in Columbus. We
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 12: were at an event and I just told her politics aside,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 12: thank you for at least stepping up and serving our
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 12: city as a councilwoman. But I said, I'd love the
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 12: opportunity to meet with you at our coffee shop or
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 12: our church just to discuss these issues, and she seemed
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 12: very open to it. So there's there's ways to move forward,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 12: but also at the same time still keep people's feet
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 12: in the fire just because it's not an election.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 8: Yeer.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 12: I believe that last year kind of showed people that
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 12: they can have a voice in all these issues and
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 12: it really does make change.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: It might be slow.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 12: Big ships turn on small rudders, so it might be
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 12: a slow turning, but that's something that we've always got
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 12: to keep accountable at city Hall.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 3: All right, well, Corey Bowman, you're a better man than
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: I and I appreciate the time and as always, keep
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: up the great work and we'll be talking to you
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: again before too long. But thanks for being here this
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: morning on fifty five KRC.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I would like to say I'll be at my
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 12: coffee shop today from eight to three o'clock work in
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 12: the bar. So if aybody wants to come by and
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 12: voice your opinions about anything, I'm approachable right there. So
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 12: we're in the West End, come by and see an
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 12: amazing neighborhood in Cincinnati.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 12: Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: All right, Corey Bowman, all the best to you, Thank
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: you very much, and with that we'll get to a break.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Can you see the talk station.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KARC DE talk station Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: Brian Thomas is back tomorrow and my good fortune to
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: have this guest brought in by Joe Streckerd today and
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: Tom z Oastowski of the website We the People Convention
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: in tom It is great to have you back on
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: fifty five KRC.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 14: How are you today, I'm great, Good morning Dan, and
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 14: happy save passage.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: Happy all the.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 14: Citizens in the greater Cincinnati area. I was just curious
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 14: and I was looking up and it looks like about
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 14: ten percent of the population of Cincinnati have Irish heritage.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 14: Some real celebrating going on today in Cincinnati. And that's
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 14: a good thing, man, because we need, we need some
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 14: fun once in a while, don't.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, And this time of year, Saint Patrick's Day,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: that percent of Irish heritage here in Cincinnati gets closer
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: to about ninety ninety five percent.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: So it's my last.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 14: Name is Zawastowski, and believe it or not, my mother's
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 14: name is Shirley. My sisters are Colleen and Patty, and
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 14: I've got twenty five percent Irish. I mean, it's it's
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 14: always been a really big day and it's a great
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 14: American tradition, and boy, yeah, I'm just so I hope
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 14: people do get out, and you know, I think you know,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 14: if you remember, you know, this is kind of a
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 14: holiday where COVID kind of killed all of our local businesses, remember,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 14: And and that was like it made me so mad
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 14: because the wine you know, started imposing these shutdowns right
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 14: when these businesses were going to make money. That is like,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 14: you know, thirty percent of their income for the year,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 14: and so it's been a while to recover. But I
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 14: hope people will turn out to restaurants and bars and
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 14: just get together like we used to do.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: We really need that today to get together.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: Well, we had a we had a statewide health director
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: back then during the Wuhan Amy acton and of course
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: he's running for governor now, and so you know, hopefully
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: that's a good reminder of the kind of thing that
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: she was all about. And I really, I really felt
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: bad for Mike the Wine during that time because I
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: really felt like even though he was having these daily
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: news conferences and updates on what's happening with the Wuhan
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: and everything the state government was doing, I really felt
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: like he was lost to a degree during all.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: The time he was He was also misled. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: she just lied.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 14: She was getting said that data from that group out
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 14: of London that the less set up to see the
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 14: lies about COVID deaths to Amy.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: Acting, and she was just going on these press consens
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: telling the Wine you know that five hundred thousand ohionlands
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: are going to die if you don't shut down the
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: schools and the bars.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 14: He was sabotaged, and now she's running for governor. It's
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 14: mind blowing. You just like, how do you even show
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 14: your face? You're such a fraud and yet you going
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 14: to run for governor. Wow, that's pretty pathetic.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: I always wondered why Trump never got the credit for
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: the inverse of that, because when when the Wuhans started,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: we heard I think the number was twenty one million Americans,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: twenty two million Americans were going to die because this
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: so contagious, it's so bad. We got to do all
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: these things, the mass, the six foot, all this kind
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: of stuff, and in the end, and look, a million
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: deaths related to COVID is a tragic thing. But if
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: we were being told in the beginning that twenty two
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 3: or twenty three million people were going to die because
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: of this, why didn't Trump get credit for saving twenty
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: two million lives?
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 14: Yeah, because he's Trump, right, and nothing.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: Any other Democrats would have got credit for.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: That, Oh, for sure, you know, it is. It is.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: That's a great point though, and it rewrites it relates
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: to what's going on right now when America with the
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: war and things like that. Point. Trump just has proven.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 14: To have incredible instinct. The guy just has a way
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 14: of figuring things out before the rest of the market
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 14: and the rest of the people. And we're seeing that
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 14: play out, you know here, and you know, I just
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 14: think that people just got to give him more credit
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 14: and certainly give him a benefit of the doubt, because
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 14: he sure has he been right more than he's been wrong.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit frustrating to when you look
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: at what's going on with Operation Epic Fury and you see,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I get up and I see more headlines
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: this morning about more strikes launched by Hezbollah in certain
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: parts of the Middle East and the I guess there
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: are still parts of the regime there in Iran that
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: remain intact and they're able to make orders and talk
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: about how they're going to resist the United States and Israel.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: So it's a little frustrating to think that it's only
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: been what we're entering our third week now on this war,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: but to have these certain elements that remain intact and
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: are able to mount a resistance. And look, in the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: United States, I hope we keep going in there putting
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: the hammer down, get this job done, and at least
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: have an outcome that is worthy of all the bluster
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: that we had going into this thing.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why your listeners listen to you. That's why
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 14: On my podcast on Saturday, my team was really about perspective.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: You've got to keep perspective. Like you said, we've been
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: doing this for sixteen days. Okay, look at the damage
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: we've done to their military, into everything, compared to Iraq, Okay,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: compared to Afghanistan, compared to anything in the history of
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: the world. Where's your perspective? And they keep giving this
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: nonsense about oh, the gas prices. You know, look at
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: these gas prices. Go back a couple of years. Joe
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Biden had gas prices like this and there was no more.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 14: We were directly involved in the others, the Ukraine Russia war,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 14: but we had the same level gas crisis. And here's
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 14: the point I want to make to your listeners. Listen,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 14: what's the price of freedom? Donald Trump is doing something
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 14: that no president, no leader in the world would do
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 14: for forty seven years. He's finally taking out the most
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 14: the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world that it's
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 14: killed thousands.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: They just killed thirty thousand of their own people and
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: they think, you know, you're supposed to say we should
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: stop the war because we're paying thirty cents a gallon
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: more for a gasoline. I remember, you know, I'm seventy.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 14: I'm an old guy, but I remember reading about World
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 14: War Two where our grandparents had to, you know, not
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 14: eat certain foods because the troops needed and it couldn't
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 14: have soap stockings because they needed for the war effort
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 14: and rubber, and we committed to the war effort. Listen,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 14: when you go to the gas station today and the
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 14: price is up, just smile and say, I'm happy to
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 14: pay this because I want to support the war effort,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 14: because I want to end this tyranny. Don't say this
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 14: is bad now we all want to pay less, But
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 14: what is your contribution to the war effort. Well, don't
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 14: talk bad about the gas prices. Talk about how I
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 14: understand why President Trump is doing this. I'm proud to
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 14: do my part. And you know what, if when we
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 14: win this, those prices are going to come down lower
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 14: than you've ever seen because he's doing the right thing.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: Now, that reminds me, Under Biden, we were supposed to
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: be proud that we were standing up to putin when
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: we were playing for Putin's price hike, remember that, and
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: we're so we were supposed to be happy of that.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: But of course the same under Democrat logic, the same
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: reasoning doesn't apply here.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: Tom Zowasowski, stay right there. We're going to continue on.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: We've got to get to a quick break, and we'll
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: talk to you on the other side of this. On
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 8: Got a hot take read the room.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: Don'ty five krc DE talk Station.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC DE talk Station, Dan Carol for Brian Thomas,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: continuing our conversation with Tom Zostowski. And Tom, I cannot
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: recall a time where I've been more frustrated with the
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: lack of effort to get a piece of legislation approved,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: the Save America Act. I'm looking at a poll that
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: MSNBC put out today this morning, and here are the numbers.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 3: Eighty three percent of US adults support requiring all voters
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: all voters to show government issued identification when they vote.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: That is up from seventy seven percent in twenty twelve.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: So when it comes to Republicans, eighty three percent of
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: Republicans support this. You've got seventy seven percent of Democrats
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: who support this. I think the number is seventy eight
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: percent when it comes to minorities. And we have so
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: many rhinos, so many weak willed and limp wristed Republicans
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: in the Senate right now, that we are not able
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: to ram this through. To me, it is disgraceful and
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: disgusting that we've gotten to the point on this to
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: where I guess they're going to bring it to the floor.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going to happen, but the resolve
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: on the part of the Republicans here is absolutely shameful.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 14: Well, Van, you know, it makes you question, how can
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 14: you be a representative republic? How can you pretend that
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 14: you're a representative republic when you can't pass something should
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 14: be unanimously that eighty five percent of people want. This
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 14: is why this is a real crisis for our country,
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 14: because if the Republicans won't do it, and they can, Dan,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 14: don't let don't let them tell you they can't. If
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 14: they won't do it, it's because they know there's cheating
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 14: going on and they're okay with that. So why should
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 14: we vote? Why should citizens vote if you know your
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 14: vote's going to be canceled out by as Chuck Schumer said,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 14: tens of millions of illegals who would be taken off
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 14: the voter rolls if the Save Actors passed, why should
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 14: we vote?
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous because I don't think that legislation should be
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: passed just because of polling or a popularity of the legislation.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 3: But when it comes to the lies and the truth
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 3: about this, and the Democrats keep putting out the lies
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: that all these millions of Americans are going to be disenfranchised,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: that somehow minorities and people of color don't have the
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: ability to get an ID, if you're a married woman,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: that this is going to make it almost impossible for
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: you to be able to cast the vote. It is
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: complete nonsense, a complete lie. And yet they continue to
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: perpetrate this, And then you know, we have the specter
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 3: of the filibuster.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: Hanging over our heads.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, let him Philip buster and then Tom and
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: I've read where Mitch McConnell is behind the scenes blocking
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: all of this. It is unbelievably frustrating that we are, well,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: I look, we're not that far away from the midterms
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: in November, and the idea that we can't have election integrity.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: To me is just it's just one of the worst
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: things that I can ever imagine.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 14: I'm happy you brought this up because literally, just like
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 14: twenty minutes ago, I posted on our website at we
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 14: Thepeopleconvention dot Org an article by this guy. His name
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 14: is Alexander Muse. He's on access a Muse on AX.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 14: You may have seen some of the stuff, and he
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 14: breaks down how the filibuster really works and why.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: Soon is lying.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 14: He's just fought out lying about the fact that they
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 14: can't use the filibuster. He breaks this down historically on
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 14: our website, and you got to read it because I
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 14: never saw anybody else break it down like this. That
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 14: just says everything fun is saying, like, well, they could
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 14: do unlimited amendments and debate is unlimited.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: None of that is true. The majority is in charge
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: of the Senate. And if you just do what you're
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: supposed to do, if you just follow the Senate rules, no,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: none of this. Are the dender saying, oh, they're breaking
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: Senate rules itself. No they're not.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 14: If you just follow the Senate rules, this thing passes
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 14: without any problem. It may take weeks, but it still passes.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 14: Everyone listened to this show. You need to call Houston's office,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 14: You need to call Rino's office, and you need to
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 14: call Fune's office today today and demand that they passes it.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 14: Don't recess, don't leave town until this is on Trump's
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 14: desk because we have to have the stand because if
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 14: we don't have it, I got Nusia.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: Our people aren't going to turn out in November because
• 1:44:55

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

• 2:16:36
  Speaker 3: the heck, I got a little time right here, so
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 3: might as well play him. President Trump was signing an
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 3: executive order that named JD. Vance and he talked about
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 3: this during the State of the Union address. He said
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 3: JD Vance would be in charge of the Anti Fraud
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 3: Task Force, and he also took a shot at Kamala Harris,
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 3: saying it's not going to be like Kamala where she
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 3: was put in charge of the border. So the JD
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 3: Vance being in charge of things will be slightly different
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 3: than what we saw with Kamala being in charge of things.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 3: But one of the things that happened there President the
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 3: presidents in the Oval office, JD. Vance is there, The
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 3: head of the Federal Trade Commission is there. Off to
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 3: the side was Steven Miller, a great White House advisor,
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 3: and he was actually asked a question during this press availability,
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 3: and he's a little bit off Mike here, so he's
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit hard to hear. But listen to Stephen
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 3: Miller put a put in perspective the amount of fraud
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 3: in this country and how this is really going to
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 3: take aim and help tackle the fraud that we experience
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 3: every year here in the United States. Steven Miller, Joe
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 3: cut number four, thank you as the president.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 11: Well, under President Trump's leadership, as we've seen, the illegal
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 11: flow across the southern border was stopped completely. But what
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 11: we found since President Trump came into off this is
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 11: that the Democrats have set up a system to funnel
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 11: hundreds of billions and ultimately trillions of dollars to migrants
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 11: that are in our country, oftentimes from places like Somalia.
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 11: So as an example, Ice recently asked a group of
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 11: illegal immigrants that were in detention whether or not they
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 11: were receiving medicaid. Half of them raised their hands and
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 11: volunteered that they were on Medicaid, just volunteered that these
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 11: aren't the ones who are hiding it right. They also
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 11: asked the legal aliens how they paid their medical bills,
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 11: and they said that if they don't have Medicaid, they
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 11: go to hospitals, they get free care there and they
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 11: build it to the taxpayers, so they aren't paying for
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 11: any of their own health care in this country. This
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 11: is one example, and we've seen this over and over
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 11: and over again. So under President Trump's leadership, and then
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 11: of course with JD and the head of the FTC,
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 11: Andrew Ferguson, we're going to see the first ever effort
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 11: in American history to reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 11: that were sold from taxpayers. I believe, but I know
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 11: President Trump believes that when this stuff is exposed, we
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 11: will see that if all of it were stopped, it
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 11: would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 11: wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 11: is the primary cause of the national debt, and this
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 11: is the first ever effort to shut that down. Thank you,
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 11: mister Press.
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 3: So they're Steven Miller, and this is why whenever I
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 3: have a chance to use a Steven Miller SoundBite, I
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 3: do it because there is no one. And look, Marco
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 3: Rubio is great too. I love it when Marco Rubio
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 3: takes to the microphone and explains situations as they relate
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 3: to geopolitical things that are going on, world politics, what
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 3: is going on with the State Department, why we have
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 3: the foreign policy that we do. Marco Rubio is just
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 3: hands down the absolute best. But when it comes to
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 3: stuff like this, Steven Miller is just absolutely amazing. And
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 3: listen to what he was saying. He's not talking about
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 3: billions of dollars. He is talking about trillions. And he
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 3: said he used the word trillion I don't know what
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 3: three or four times during the course of that statement,
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 3: and he's saying that to make a point that we
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 3: are not talking about a little bit of chump change here.
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 3: This is serious money. And if the trillion dollar number
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 3: is true, I don't know it most likely is, but
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 3: if it's not a trillion dollars, it is very very
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 3: close to a trillion dollars, and he talked about if
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 3: we can just get this squared away, just this part
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 3: of the fraud and the stealing that goes on from
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 3: the federal government, then we will be making serious strides
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 3: to get our fiscal house in order. And so this
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 3: is an important thing. And jd Vance, this is going
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 3: to be This is going to be your rodeo man,
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 3: Jade Vance, this is going to be your show. And
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 3: I hope he knocks it out of the park, so
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. That's it for me. I got
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 3: to get out of here. Joe Strecker, thank you again
