  Speaker 1: station and Happy Monday, will.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Vacation and that's the way the news going.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're all living the realities of the straight
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of Horror moves being shut down. That's a global phenomenon
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and it's caused the price of gasoling to go through
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the roof. Not stating anything you don't know already, So
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: mean you've been out trying to fill your gas tank
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: up over the last several days. Happy Monday to you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, glad to be Glad to see
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Jo's trek. Worry belongs to executive producer of this program
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and responsible for lining up guests. We've got some great
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: guests on the program today. That's a subjective statement. You
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: can draw your own subjective conclusion. But coming up seven
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: o five as the Tax Ohio Sarah Woolf from ax
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Attack Ohio about ending property taxes. Apparently either she directly
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: or the organization through its representatives met with Eve Ramaswami
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to discuss well, ending property taxes and everything that goes
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: along with that weird reality that one. We'll see what
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Sarah has to say about the complexities involved in getting
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: read of property taxes here can we go in that direction?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to have a vote on it, presumably if
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they can get it on the ballot. And of course,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it being Monday seven with Christopher Smithman, just kind of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: wondered if you might have anything to say about violence
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: going on in downtown since, say, Joe, do you think
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: he's going to talk about violence? Had another pretty violent weekend.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: A couple people stabbed in Westwood, we got in a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: deadly shooting in Avondale, Madisonville, And of course Joe Strecker
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: is keeping track of the way folks voted in downtown
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati see Madisonville seventy one to eighty four percent AFTAB
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: pearvall in the current makeup, or in Westwood seventy one
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to eighty four percent aftab Parvoll and the current makeup
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: eighty five to one hundred percent have tab parvoll in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the current makeup over. In Avondale, there was a deadly shooting.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm just trying to sort of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: project what Christopher might talk about. Christopher, the subject matter
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is always yours. If you're listening this morning eight oh
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: five after Christopher Holly, you know, Holly. Probably the most
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: tragic illustration of that just crazy beatdown that happened last
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: summer in the city of Cincinnati, drawing national attention to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the violence that's going on in the city. Oh look,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it's continuing. Anyway, Hollywood joined the programma talking about Holly's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Law or Holly's Act, introduced by a representative, DJ Swearingen.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He's from Uron, right, Joe, DJ Sweringen. We're not real
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: close to Huron, but Hollya joined the program in eight
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of five. Get her reaction on that and how she's doing.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I first thing out of the gate got to ask
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Hollie is how she's recovering because she suffered some severe injuries,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: including my understanding some long term brain damage. Anyway, you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: wondering why I mentioned DJ swearing in Ohio state representative
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: being from here on DJ Swearings and swaring is going
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to join the program at eight twenty after Holly because
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he's the one that introduced Holly's Law legislation. Hey, Joe,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: could you get anybody locally to talk about that? Crickets,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: How is it that we can get a representative from
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Huron but no one about here locally. That's weird. No
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: one here cares. Strekker's summary of the current reality of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: local elected officials wanting to be on the fifty five
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: kr S morning show and care see does care. We
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: always try to prove that. And today the since ADVA
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: doctor Sherry French Meyer Friends Meyer will be in studio
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: about well, explaining to you me and my veteran commit
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of friends in the veteran community, whole health. What is
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: whole health? Initial cap on wh whole health? How do
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they get connected with it? Services involved that are not
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: part of the typical healthcare. We'll get all kinds of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: questions answered with the doctor at eight forty again in
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: studio and speaking of an ability to call in. You
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: don't need to be an elected officials from this southwest Ohio,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: although if you're out there, feel free to time in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: five one three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight hundred
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk pound five fifty on your AT
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and T phone. Department of Homeland Security is still shut down,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: among others. I don't know if you got the memo
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on that, but apparently anybody who went to an airport
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: airport over the weekend is struggling mightily to deal with
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the weight, and President Trump said just yesterday he will
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: not sign any other bills until the Save America Act
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is passed. That will be the photo ID requirement, among
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: other things. I'm just wondering if Congress decides to reopen
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the government and get these DHS folks and others a paycheck,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna This week is the first week
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the DHS and the others who are struggling with the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: shutdown will not be getting a paycheck. I guess at
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all zero dollars, and a lot of them aren't shown
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: up to work. We saw this before. It happens every time.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So if they came up with the build A fund,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the government with Donald Trump signed it in advance of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: them not taking any action on the Save ac According
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to yesterday, apparently not said he wants the version passed,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: one that would require proof of citizenship to register and vote.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Great job by hard working, hardworking Scott Presler and Fox
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and Friends taking talking about using the filibuster or talking filibuster.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: This is a statement from Trump yesterday. In order to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: pass the Save America Acting, eighty eight percent issue with
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: all voters must be done immediately supersedes everything else. Must
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: go to the front of the line. That's in all caps,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: just trying to make himself clear on that point as president,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: will not sign other bills until this is passed. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: again shifting to all caps in his social media polls
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and not the watered down version. Go for the gold
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: must show voter ID and proof of citizenship. No mail
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in ballots except for military illness, disability travel. No men
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in women's sports. I didn't know that was part of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the Save Act bill. No transgender mutilization for children, do
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: not fail triple exclamation point, signed Donald Trump. Now, there
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was a recent Harvard Harris pole which of course backs
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: up what Donald Trump says about this being a overwhelmingly,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly in favor of issue, you know, one of those
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: eighty twenty issues we talk about. So where's the hold
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: up with the Save Act? I saw yet another article
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: about Mitch McConnell being outright against this, and you know
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it's funny. I was willing to say he's willing to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: stake his political future preventing to Save Act. Oh, that's right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have one anymore fast approaching and of Mitch
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: McConnell's decades and decades long career. Yeah, pivoting back over
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to the reality you may have felt. I'm sure maybe
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: we'll hear Jay Ratliffe on this subject on Thursday, and hopefully,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Dear God, let us pray that the situation has been
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: resolved by then. I'm not optimistic about that. The absence
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of TSA workers, I guess we're not shown up if
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we're not getting paid created problem over the weekend with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: like multiple airports, three and a half hour line at
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Houston's Hobby Airport. You know, I sort of I feel
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the sting of this personally, although I haven't flown in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: such a long time. One of the reasons I abhor
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: air travel is exactly that it's something I'm afraid at crashing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It's just I hate everything that goes along with air travel.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Lewis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans, TSA experiencing a shortage of
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: workers at the security checkpoint, which is causing longer than
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: average line. Passengers with travel schedules today advised to arrive
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: at least three hours before the scheduled department departure at
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: least Houston George Bush International multiple hour lines. Charles Douglas
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: International Airport in North Carolina Artsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: probably the busiest airport on a planet, also dealing with
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: multiple multiple hour delays. Funding for Homeland Security Department stopped
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on February thirteen at halted operations funding for a variety
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: government agencies, including course TSA, resulting at about fifty thousand
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: TSA airport security screeners working without pay now facing their
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: first full missed paycheck, leading to financial hardship, absences, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: crippling staff shortages. That's from an announcement from the DHS itself,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and I you know there were reports of this previously
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: during prior government shutdowns. This sound like a story you've
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: heard before. A lot of those workers are living paycheck
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to paycheck. That's their problem, it's their issue, and them
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: not alone on that. But if they're not getting a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: TSA paycheck, some of them have to go off and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: find another means of gaining money or getting money, a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: separate job, which might prevent them from showing up for working,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: shown up to work where they're not getting paid and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: oh no, what's coming. It's only going to get worse
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: unless they get the government back. Going spring break spring
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: travel period with carriers, I guess up until now expecting
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a record number of folks, up four percent of the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: same two month period last year. One hundred and seventy
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: one million passengers are expected to be flying.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: So.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Just know they're not well if they can wait it
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: out long enough. And yeah, okay, thankfully I'm not in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that crowd. I have no plans for air travel, so
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: this is one of those issues that I can feel
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: for other people, not impacting me directly. And oh look,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the price of air fuel is going up much in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the same way the gasoline prices have increased, like about
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: fifty eighty percent because the Straight of Horror Moves has
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: been shut down, you know, and the timing could not
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: be worse. I've been complaining as you have been complaining.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I've been projecting your complaints through here. On the fifty
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: five Carcey Morning Show about Duke energy bills being so high, Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: they addressed that just the other day the bills were
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: going up regardless of the Straight of Horror move situation,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: which I may guessing maybe will cause the bills to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: go even higher. Timing, I guess, is everything five sixteen
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: right now, fifty five KR City Talk Station five one
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk Time five fifty on AT and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: T phones. Why are my bills so high? With duke
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: energy and yours? Maybe talk about that a little bit
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: coming up. I prefer hearing from you. If you got
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: something to say, feel free to give me a ring regardless,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I'll be back after these brief words.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: This was your week.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Can't make fury mass shooting in Austin, Texas potential terrorst

• 12:07
  Speaker 1: on the phone. I had the pleasure of attending, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: thanks to John and Kathy Newsom for the invitation. The
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: fundraiser for the Cincinnati Classical Academy. What an amazing opportunity
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: for young people to actually get a real education, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that is growing by leaps and bounds, and sadly the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: waiting list is too long. We need more of the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: CINCINNTI Classical Academy type facilities opening and that's the effort,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and they're growing by leaps and bounds classical education, no
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: woke ideology, no DEI, just core reading, writing, arithmetic, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of course the incorporation of my favorite thing involving in
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: terms of teaching, the Socratic method. So and boy, impressive.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They had several young people that are students of the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Sincinnti Classical Academy took to the stage and made great announcements. Wow, brilliant, confident, articulate,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: intelligent young people. If that's a small slice representative of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the caliber and quality of education you can get at
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that type of school right there, presenting in front of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a way maybe a thousand people in the audience. Very impressive.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: So they've got my full support and I was glad
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to be part of that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Of that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone. See what Bobby's got today. Hey, Bobby,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: welcome to the Morning Show.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Happy Monday to you, Happy Monday to you, my brother
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: fas flagged family. And daylight savings time.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't even get me started, man, Can we just
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: pick something and keep with it? Bobby, would you rather
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have daylight savings time twenty four hours a day, seven
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: days a week, three hundred and sixty five And do
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you want to go back to regular Eastern Standard time.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Either way, if you had to pick one, what would
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you go with?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I just leave them all alone.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pick one. You flip a coin, right, flip a coin, whatever,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, just leave the I'm amen. And every
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: single time the time changes. This like nine million articles
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: about it. Everyone in I mean help are elected officials
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and Washington DC complained about it. We're arenay legislation like that?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: How many I've been alive for sixty years, been hearing
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: this since I was born.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not a farmer, so I don't have to get
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: up that early.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Farmers will laugh at this. It doesn't create a new
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: hour or change anything. You can get up whenever you
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: damn well, please God.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: They need to concern themselves about the violence in the
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: cities and Cincinnati and all the other How about.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: They're lobbing they're lobbing bombs in New York City protests,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: real ones. Apparently it was fortuitous at that bomb that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: was chucked by one of those well, and I will
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: argue anti American pro Islamic fundamentals terrorists. That thing actually
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: had screws and bolts and genuine explosive and unfortunately there
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: but by for the grace of God, it didn't go off,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: or maybe police might have been killed.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot of IDs popping off
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: with my brother unfortunately this summer when you have all
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the activity that we got coming up, and all the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: left plane anarchists and everything, and all these twelve to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: fourteen thousand coming now the Middle East terrafts that are here,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: it's coming, be prepared. Well, I have too much going
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: on this summer, too much.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: There's a lot going on this summer. And of course
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: what's going on in November that's going to make things
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: even worse. Bobby, right, the November elections.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Plus you get the twenty fifth am
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the Virtuary at nine to eleven. And I always remember
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the first thing they did they cut airspace. The second
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: thing they did they pulled every bit of ammunition, all
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: the shelves and many dealers.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Well in the space if you talk about flying look,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I mean I look locally, we've got phone calls resulting
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: in school districts shutting down. Kansas City International Airport got
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a bomb threat shutting down the entire international airport, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that was the second time that had happened. One phone
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: call can shut down an entire airport, Bobby, can you
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: imagine if, like, oh, I don't know, maybe hundreds of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: phone calls are made into airports threatening the same thing,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: talk about shutting down air You don't need to blow
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: up the nine to eleven style twin towers flying planes
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: into buildings. You just make phone calls and stop it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a hot summer, my brand. Then
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: it doesn't have any pain to do with the temperature outside.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I can certainly understand how you can reach that your conclusion.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You believe it is definitely going to happen. There's certainly
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a possibility it won't. But I think your admonishment that
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you need to be prepared and think about that contingency
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is really important advice, Bobby. How you go about doing that,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that's up to you, the individual, but even our own
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: government will recommend you lay in several days worth of
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: food and water and all of that. Check out your
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: federal websites for all that information. They too have been
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: recommending this for years and years and years. And as
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I always like to point out, the fool is the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: one that's not looking out for his or her own
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: best interests. So think about that he Bobby's advice, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you might just want to consider things getting going sideways
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: sort of outside of your ability to control that reality.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Good point. Bobby as always man keep the faith, brother, Oh,
• 17:03

• 18:25
  Speaker 1: throughout the Tristide, if you just try State, if you
• 18:27

  Speaker 1: repair folks who've stepped up to the play duber stuck

  Speaker 1: money for. So God bless Brian Eyebol to what he's doing.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Check out that podcast at five caresy dot com. Over
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to the phones to see what Tom's got this morning. Tom,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Happy Monday to you, sir.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, good morning. Yeah. If your car doesn't run,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: you can't get to work. You can't get to work,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: you can't get a check. You can't get a check,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: can't pay the bills. So it is pretty simple, mass
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: it is. When you're when you're managing people, you're in
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: a position and even if you're just showing up for work,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: you can you can spot those people pretty easily who
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: are missing quite frequently. And usually that's the case is
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: they got a little clunker and they're trying to nurse
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: it along and still keep going to work, and they
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: either don't have time or don't have the money yet
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: to fix it. So if there's people out there who
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: are gifted in taking care of vehicles and and they're
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: willing to give some of their time for free to
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: help people out like that, that's fantastic.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: That is.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Like, that's rubber, I mean, and I this is sort
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: of this is pun intended. That's rubber meets the road stuff.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: That's right down to exactly what people need is they
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: need their car fix so they can show up to work.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: So am uh tudos to them. And you you mentioned
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: you and Bobby were talking and you mentioned you're not
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: going to give up, And that pretty much has got
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: to be the theme of this year leading into the elections.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: The the Democrats are are, they're ramping it up. It's
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: getting even worse every single day and week whatever. They
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: just keep coming up with something else to do and
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: and to drive people crazy and to show they're not
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: going to give up. They aren't giving up, and so
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: we better not give up. Well, we're just gonna lose everything.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: And don't think that just because we won some election
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: you know last year or whatever that that now it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: all good. We can just sit back and relast. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: now there is no sitting back in the lasting. You
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: got to pay attention to what's going on. We got
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: to make sure that we before we cast a vote,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: we know who we're voting for, and why make sure
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: we're voting for the right people, and so that we're
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: pushing people out that that should be there that aren't
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: aligned with our values, that aren't voting the way that
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: we want them to vote, and the people that are
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: hurting this country and steering us in the wrong direction,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: or hurting your your village, township, city, whatever it is
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: you're you're voting for some issue whatever, be paying attention
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: to think about it, talking to your friends, talking to
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: your names, and of course please tell them, don't vote Democrat.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Have a great day.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Run indeed, And I think about that, and I struggle
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: with the idea that you would turn and vote for
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Democrats because of, Okay, any given particular policy by the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Trump administration. Maybe you're just angry about the price of
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: gas going up, which was happening, which would be a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: hell of a lot worse if it wasn't for the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump energy policies all the above, I mean, we have.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: If you think it's bad now with the straight of
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: hormuves being closed, you have no idea how bad it
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: would have been had we not changed gears a while
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: back and tapped into our own ability to be energy dominant.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: We're now in net exporter of fuels and that was
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: not the case in all the prior times when the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: straight of horror moves has been shut down, Go all
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the way back to the nineteen seventy three OPEC embargo.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That was an intentional reaction to Nixon and his foreign
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: policies quadrupled the price of oil at the time. So,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: but recognizing that and that is a problem. And you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: can say Donald Trump is the one that did this.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Trump attacking Iran, the straight of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: hormuves would not be shut down. Well, there have been
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of times when like the Huthis and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: other terrorist proxies have shut the straight of hormones down
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: or made things rather dangerous. Are you going to go
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: back to the Democrats global climate alarmism and the refusal
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to tap into energy policies? Is that really? Is that
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: something you want, you desire to happen, because that's what's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: going to happen. Dee, I woke men playing against women.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, the whole whole kit bag full of democratic
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: crazy principles is what you'll be voting for. You gonna
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: go down that road. Maybe I suppose five to thirty
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: five right now for the Bob keros De talk station.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: We have short attention spans and short memories qc E
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: kinetics for five forty on a Monday. Look, stack is stupid.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We can do that, or you can call fifty five
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: hundred eight hundred eight two three talk alright, which is
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: typically the case. Weird stories in the stack is stupid.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Here's a couple of sort of related ones. Can't get
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: my head around either of these. Robert Brandon Keller, Georgia,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: thirty two years old, now facing trial and connects with
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the death of a forty three year old guy named
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Bruce Dupree that body found on the side of an
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: interstate in Georgia's Bullock County back in October of twenty four,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: suffering from multiple state wounds. Uh pronounced dad after he
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: was found please say. Kellor was tracked down and arrested
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: after an employee at POJOs saw him with blood on
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: his hand and blood on the cash he paid with.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I guess Pojo's is a market of some sort. Anyway,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Color booked the Vola County Jail on two counts of murder,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated baggery, aggravated his
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: salid possession of a firearm or knife in the commission
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of a felony denied bond corner court documents. Keller removed
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: both of his eyes and bit off a portion of
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: his tongue while in custody. Why are you doing that?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Competency hearing was ordered, of course, two psychologists, doctor Jeremy
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Gay doctor Daniel Fast conducted an interview with him to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: see if he was well responsible for his crimes or
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: was batcrap insane. Both of those doctors concluded that in
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: spite of what he did to him s in other words,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: tearing out his eyeballs and biting out part of his tongue,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he wasn't fact. It's because they're idiots competent to stand trial.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Both doctors said the disturbing nature of the self mutilation
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and in their words quote happened after the alleged criminal activity.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Doctor Das gazed in the Keller quote was not suffering
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: from either a delusional compulsion at the time of his
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: crime or in inability to distinguish right and wrong at
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the time of the crime. Doctor Fast, for his part,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: stated when he evaluated Keller, he did not show symptoms
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: of a severe, persistent medical illness like bipolar disorder schizophrenia.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: In fact, said Keller's intellectual functioning and ability to answer
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: questions in court were a quote much better than a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: lot of the people he evaluates those quote. Also, two
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: jailers testified at the competency hearing, saying Keller told him
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he was not mental and that he said he heard
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: voices to cover his ass The two doctors ruled the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Kellor was competent. He will be standing trial. The arithocrat, Well,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: if you think that couldn't get worse, and I do
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: think we're dealing with a significantly challenged, at least cognitively
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: impaired individual, someone who may be suffering from some sort
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of mental ailment. Has How in the hell else would
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you this I do cut off your own penis. Yes,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a man is now dead. This after he cut off
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: his own penis in downtown Los Angeles. Incident happened around
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: three forty am Saturday morning over the weekend, across from
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the La Convention Center. That's where responding officers found a
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: man self mutilated near the intersection of Fa. Guerrera Street
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and Pico Boulevard if you want to look it up
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on a map. Emergency responders pronounced the man dead of
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the scene, and of course, reporters on scene capture the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: gruesome scene, saying that the man bled to death. Los
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Angeles Police Department didn't know the man's motivation for hurting him,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: so the La County Medical Examiner will determine his identity.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I guess it's a little late to do a psychological evaluation.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Joe.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: You can't do that posthumously, can you. Eddie Hay clothes
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: scenes got it on the ground nearby. The blood that
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: was literally everywhere. According to the journalist on the scene,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the man had taken off his clothing as he was
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: walking toward A seven eleven before collapsing. This after he
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: cut off his penis. And sorry to the guys in
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the audience, I it's like phantom pain. I can feel
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: it just reading about it five forty.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: I had no idea.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: What's going off?
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Fifty five care city talk station. No more of that though,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: section and a portable five krs the talk station five
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: fifty fifty five KRSD talk station STACKO stupid. That's pretty
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: gross anyway. The Sheriff's annual barbecue fundraiser resulted. This is
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the Indian River County Sheriff's Officer event. I guess last Wednesday.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: They did have a hit, apparently raised sixty three thousand
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: dollars for a Florida charity. Attendees rawford tours of the jail,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and they enjoyed a swat and canine demonstration. During the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: thirty second annual affair, you could get two dollars hot
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: dogs and seven dollars dinner plates. Your choice is pork
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: or chicken. Anyway. To help with the sheriff fundraiser, organizers
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: employed some inmates. Inmates describes as folks who could be
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: counted on when outside of the prison called trustees, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: these trustees were charged with us serving food and maintenance
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of the fair grounds. There apparently one such trustee, a
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: guy named Hartley Sanchez Vero beach Man, locked up in
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: advance of trial on theft and drug possession charges. Police
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: report says Sanchez was assigned to the barbecue serving line
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: when he snuck away to a bank of portable toilets
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: about five point thirty in the evening. All recorded by
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: surveillance cameras, Sanchez spoke with two women, one of whom
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: eventually entered into the porta potty with Sanchez, why are
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you doing that? After checking with the coast, is clear
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he went in there with her. When jailer's later questioned
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: about the trip to the John Sanchez quote spontaneously, openly
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and freely stated that he had sex with the female
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: in the porta potty close quote, there's no flag for us.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Sanchez ledley walked fifty yards away from where he was
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: working to get to the toilets, engaged in an quote
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: unauthorized conjugal visit to hook up or have sexual intercourse
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: clothes quote that's in the arrest report. When I asked
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: about his companion, Sanchez says, quote, I am not willing
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to say who she was.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Yet.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: After a review of video footage, investigators identified the woman
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: as embarrassing her entire family. Elizabeth Greer, a former jail inmate,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: thirty six years old. She'd been freed from custody about
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: two months after serving time for credit card theft and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: possession of drug paraphernalia. The court records don't necessarily address
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the nature of the relationship between Sanchez and Greer. As
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: a consequence of the action, Sanchez charged with prisoner escape
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: or attempted escape, described as a second degree felony punishable
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: by up to fifteen years in prison. I hope it
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: was worth it. Buddy Greer, on probation until late twenty
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: twenty seven, has not been in charge of connection with
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the Well incident. Gross This is sad. Five Georgia teenagers.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You want a tpee thing, you know, you know how
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you remember tpeing and people go and they throw toilet
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: paper on trees and stuff and kind of like a
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: senior prank kind of thing or just designed to nuisance
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: people whatever. Some call it harmless fun. Apparently not in
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: all cases. One homeowner now dead, eighteen year old Jaden
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Ryan Wallace, now stands up accusing of first degree vehicular
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: homicide and reckless driving in the death of forty year
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: old Jason Hughes Gainesville, Florida. Press relief from the Sheriff's
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: office said Wallace and four other teenagers drove to the
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: home about eleven thirty pm on Friday to throw toilet
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: paper on the trees of his property. Hughes came out
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: of the homes to confront the teens, who then scrambled
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: into two vehicles and tried to get away. Hughes tripped
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and fell onto the road, and that's when eighteen year
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: old Jaden Wallace ran him over in his pickup truck.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: They did stay behind to help the deputies at the scene.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Hughes taken to the hospital where he died. For the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: eighteen year year olds now facing misdemeanor charges of criminal
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: trespass and littering, not so for Jade Wallace, the hicular homicide.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Hughes is described as a beloved math teacher and coach
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: at the North Hall High School, married father of two.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Go fund me shared by the school district that already
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: raised more than one hundred thousand dollars as of yesterday morning.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Described as blessed in so many his ultimate passing will
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: be indescribably difficult for his wife and two young boys
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: for years to come. Sheriff spokesperson said he wasn't sure
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: why the teens picked his home or if the teens
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: were current or former students of his. So they also
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: point out that sometimes te peing is done to the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: homes of teachers who are in fact beloved, and oftentimes
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to homes of teachers and others who are not beloved.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And who are they doing it things? Because there it
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: is a man for that one. Joseph Strekker, what a sad,

  Speaker 1: you don't drive past the gas station, you don't have
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: to fill your tank. Will this be temporary? Will it
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: be short lived? Will the straight up hord moves open
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: back up? Some say no, it's not going to take
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: very long at all. Others are saying this could be
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a protracted problem. Iranians may very well want to disrupt
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: global energy by bombing facilities which are being bombed all
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: over the place. There's some details on that coming up.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: One hour from now. Sarah Wolf acts the tax Ohio.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: They want to end property taxes in Ohio. I hope
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: you're familiar with that. By now apparently met with Vive
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Gramaswami Sarah's going to tell us all about that one hour,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: followed by Christopher Smith. And it's Monday, we get the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Venting ispleaned
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: every Monday at seven to twenty. Not quite what you're
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: sure what he's going to be talking about. We did
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: have a very violent weekend over here in the greater
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati area, the most notably within downtown Cincinnati. Holly speaking
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to someone who's familiar and sadly familiar with the violence
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati. Holly, the woman who's Holly law or
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: act as the case maybe, has been named after Holly,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: who suffered that absolutely brutal, heartless cole cock to the
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: face beat down some call it, including me, resulting in
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: significant long term injuries. Should be on at eight ZHO
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: five to comment on the namesake law that was proposed by,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: among others, Ohio State Representative DJ Sweringen from the Huron area.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: He is joining the fifty five krscree morning. Since spite
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: of the fact that we can't get Greater Cincinnati local
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: officials to ever come on the program. Judge Structer described
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: that as a deafening silence. Representative Swaringens joins the program
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: at eight twenty. He is behind Holly's law and he'll
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: talk about what that's going to mean if it passes,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and probably a call to action for you and I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to get our phones ringing in Columbus to have him
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: push that forward. KRC cares than we do today. Doctor
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Sherry friends of Meyer will be in studio to talk
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: about my veterans getting connected with what is called whole
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: health apparently new program. Since I don't know the details
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and maybe you don't, that's why we have a KRS Cares.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: And doctor Frenzmeyer joined us at eight forty. You can
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: join right now if you like. Five one, three, seven, four,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Yes,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of course, the price of oil has gone up almost instantly,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Horn moves being shut down, resulting in
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: what has described as severe shock to energy markets, the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: worst since the nineteen seventies. I'm old enough to remember
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the realities in the nineteen seventies, not that I had
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: any economic perception of why it happened. That was the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Opek and Barbrow So. Anyway, because of the disruption of
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Horror moves, thousands of ships are just
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: floating around there. They refuse to go in through that
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: narrow strip because they're worried about the Iranians or the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Hoofy rebels or any other rebel proxies backed by the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Iranians blowing up the boats. Some of them are scooting through,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: And apparently the ones that have been scooting through in
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: spite of the threat are Iranian oil tankers. M I
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: don't find it coincidental that the Iranians been able to
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: squeak through a few oil tankers and not get blown up. Hell,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it's the Iranian ships. Fortunately, thank you to the all
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the above energy strategies embraced by Trump Term one and
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Trump Term two. We have more shock absorbers in place. Yeah,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: we're in that exporter.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that long ago that we were dependent completely like
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: everybody else in the world, and mostly Middle East oil.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The percentage of oil that we relied on was overwhelming
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: compared to now, you know, the exception of California. Most
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: of our energy consumption comes from domestically produced oil and gas.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: How about that? So it is bad, fifty cents more
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: of this week than it was a moment in time ago.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Is bad, but could be a lot worse. US Energy
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Secretary Chris White trying to give you some assurances. He
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: said energy will flow soon. On Fox News yesterday and
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a Sunday programming said he blamed the rise on prices
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: on the unknown that this could be some long drawn
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: out crisis. He claimed it won't be. But you may
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: have faith in Chris right. I don't know that he
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: can see the future. They say this problem is going
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to get worse, especially in Europe and Asia. We for
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: decades policemen of the world him keeping the Strait of
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Hormuz open with our military power. One fifth of global
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: supplies of oil and liquid natural gas flow through that
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: tiny little stretch. That gives the Iranians a hell of
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of power if you think about it, and
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in the ripple effect is profound. I saw an article
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: on the Wall Street term I'm talking about this fertilizer.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Fertilizer for feeding crops on literally every continent that comes
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: from Yeah, that pesky natural gas stuff. We don't have
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: natural gas, we don't have fertilizer. Fertilizer feeds the world,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and it's been slowed down, in fact shut down completely
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: in some factories, and they expect crude prices to go
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: even higher. Strait doesn't open, So we either have US
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: naval escorts or maybe winning a prayer hope that ship
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: owners will think the danger has gone away and they'll
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: start sending more ships through the strait, just keeping their
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: fingers crossed that the rockets don't start firing. Yeah, it
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: just sort of as an aside, couldn't you, I guess
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: who knows, float some dummy ships through there, just so
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you get an idea where the rockets are come from,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and then have a quick response team just blow the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: crap out of all the areas where the Hoofies or
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the Iranians are launching the rockets from. And we've blown
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: up like three thousand targets so far and that has
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: not stopped. The bombing continues. So you'd like to think
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that at some point in the near term, the ability
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to shoot rockets into the Strait of Hormus might disappear.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: So fertilizers a problem. Apparently aluminum. Also, illuminum prices have
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: gone through multi year highs. Middle Eastern smelters have been closed.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: The output from cutter. According to Norris Hydro, that's a
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: company that does I guess smelt aluminum said a full
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: restart of this process could take six to twelve months. Joe,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: did you ever consider getting a degree in energy history?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Apparently there's something out there. There's an energy historian who
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: is quoted by the Wall Street Journal, guy named Daniel Jergan.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Never heard of an energy historian, he said. Anyway, we're
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: looking at what is by far the biggest disruption of
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the world history in terms of daily oil production. If
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: it goes on for weeks, it will reverberate across the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: global economy. And so note that maybe exactly what the
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Iranians want. Saying that energy facilities. Attacks on energy facilities
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and shipping appears to be a hail merry attempt to
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: make the war so painful, not just for the Americans
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: but for everybody else in the world. Apparently that Trump
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: will back down. I personally don't see that happening. Last week,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: US crewed features up thirty six bucks. So the headlines
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: this morning oil prices this morning already north of one
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars a barrel. That's the biggest surge since the
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: crude futures market began in nineteen eighty three. Trump's call
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: on Friday for Iran's unconditional surrender apparently caused Wall Street
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: to give up hope that we're going to reach a
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: speedy peace deal. They've got themselves a new president. Yeah,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: the Kameni's son is the new guy, tob maj Taba Khamani,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: apparently really close ties the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and erradical
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: just like his old man. So to the extent you're
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: looking for regime change, for a more modern administration in Iran,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the answer is Nope, that's not happening. So I know
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: that this trait is not officially a closed or physically blocked,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: but the fear of the strikes the problem. On Sunday yesterday,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: more than one thousand ships were just parked floating around
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: waiting to pass through, scared of being attacked. Traders, fear
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: that both sides are going to be ramping up the
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: targeting of energy infrastructure.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia intercepted a drone heading for an oil field
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, likely from Iran. Israel hit several fuel
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: storage complexes in Iran over the weekend right there in Tehran.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: So now we go back to history. This is not
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the first time. Let's go back to the oil embargo
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: by Arab producers in response to this is something when
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, I didn't realize Nixon's support of
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Israel in the nineteen seventy three Yam Kapur War. I
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: guess ultimately the reason for the embargo doesn't really matter.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: We lived with the embargo. Oil prices quadrupled within three months.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: This is back when we relied on that oil to
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: a much greater extent. But oil being a global commodity,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: if you take a bunch of it offline one fifth, notably,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to experience shock of it, even if we're
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: our own domestic producer. Then you had the nineteen seventy
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: nine Exlomic Revolution, remember the hostages, the Ayatola commanding putting
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: place in power. CRUP prices more than doubled at that time,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: which of course gave Jimmy Carter a real problem because
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: it contributed to the stagflation that was going on in
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: the United States. On the heels of the nineteen seventy
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: three Arab embargo HM. In nineteen eighty seven, we led
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: a naval convoy to protect ships going through the Strait
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: when the Iran Iraq War impacted oil flows. It's not
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: always us. And of course, now that we have done
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: all of the above strategy, we are now a net exporter.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: It gives us a lot more flexibility, but it doesn't
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: prevent the price of oil from going up. Apparently China
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: saw this coming. They have enough fuel stockpile to cover
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: two hundred days of imports. They anticipated one hundred and
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars barrel oil well, but elsewhere in Asia imports well,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the import about eighty percent of the petroleum that goes through. Yes,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: the Golf and the Strait of Horror moves described as
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: more immediately vulnerable. Minim Mar already launched a rationing system.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Thailand suspended fuel exports. Philippines told their people to turn
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: off their computers at lunchtime and set air conditioning low
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: lowerland seventy five degrees, so immediate impact. Wait and see,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: keep your popcorn out, and maybe a prayer or two
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: that this gets resolved quickly and promptly. Looking at gas buddy,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: we're looking at about three point fifty a gallon about
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: on average here in the greater Cincinnati area. Five one, three, seven,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five, eight hundred and eighty two to three.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Talk why are my Duke energy bills so high? High
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: before all of this hit the fan? Talk about that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: coming up and maybe a good reason to get USA
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Cox station. You care to comment if I went three
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: hundred eighty two three top town five fifty on your
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: eighteen and T phones. All right, Well, some baby quick
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: too blamed Donald Trump and the bombing of Iran as
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: a result of the as a consequence or I'm sorry,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: as the predicate for the reason for the strait of
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: horn moves being cut down or shot down. I think
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: you can easily make that argument. Not that we haven't
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: had our problems before, as I just mentioned. And here's something,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: you can't blame Trump on your Duke energy bill going up.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: I've been lamenting this since I got the bill in January.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I could not believe my eyes. And I feel better though,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: because I saw this since any inquiry reporting from Alexander Koolie,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: who looked into this and realized that no, you can't
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: blame Trump for this one, and I feel like I'm
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: in a better company now. Misery loves Company's the reports
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: the typical Duke Energy residential customer paid more than two
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six dollars in February for both gas
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: and electricity, described as an increase of thirteen percent from
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: last year. And here's a fun fact, up seventy percent
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: from February of twenty twenty, right before the COVID pandemic
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: set off inflation. That's data from the Public Utility Commission
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: of Ohio. Why everybody online is asking that question, I've
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: been asking that question.
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Generally Duke Energy officials say there's a supply crunch, soaring demand,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence among others. Maybe EV's had something to do
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: with that. I don't know, but there aren't enough new
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: power plants coming on problem. Yes, the solutions see China.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: But again, going back to this whole idea that you
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: might go full on Democrat this November because evil Orange
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Man and maybe inflation will be a reason for that.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: You're going to go back to this climate alarmism stuff
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: where no one's going to want to open an energy
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: generation plan. Oh, we'll put up a solar farm after
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: have per of all, that's not going to solve our problems. Sorry, anyway,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: beyond the idea that we don't even know power plants
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: coming on while demand increases, Duke points out Ohio's deregulated
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: markets doesn't allow Duke or other power companies to generate
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: their own electricity. They have to buy power from other providers.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And of course, because the other providers are setting the
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: rate on those powers and there are a limited number
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: of providers on the market that are offering, you end
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: up blaming Duke. And that's what Amy Spiller, Duke's president
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: of Ohio and Kentucky, speaking of the inquire, said, well,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: when we deregulated, we seeded some control to the market.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Don't direct your r toward us. Your energy is being
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: provided by some other entity. In the last year, energy
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: service they will be Home electric and heat prices in
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: America rose seven point two percent. Overall inflation was at
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: two point four National home energy costs have jumped forty
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: four percent in this decade overall inflation over that same
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: period of time. Also an alarmingly huge fact that twenty
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: six and a half percent. So yeah, it's been about
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: double overall inflation crazy anyway, Gasoline price is thirty four
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: percent up according to the Highbuera labor statistics, although I
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: think that in the last several days that figure is
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: probably pretty low.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the State of the Union talking about
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: core inflation being the lowest it has been in five years,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: and I think that's still accurate. But remember core inflation
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: excludes food and energy. So is that figure really worth anything.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: We all have to buy food and energy. I think
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: not personally. So Duke isn't allowed to generate power for
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: its customers period end up gets so he gets paid
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: regulated fees for distributing electricity from other providers. They also
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: get paid for maintenance in upgrades, and you're seeing that
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: in your bill. You go out and shop your own
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: electricity provider well or except do price that said energy
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: townships that aggregate utilities. You do have options when it
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: comes to your provider, and sometimes it's like the peace
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of God. How would I know whether any given provider
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: that I can buy electricity from is going to be
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: lower than maybe the Duke aggregate a Duke rate. Good question,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: but obviously the answer is regardless of which direction you went,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: the price of energy has gone up, Duke President's biller.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: We're no longer in the production business, and know how
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: the challenge comes when customers see that bill and there
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: are charges and generation costs that we, Duke don't know
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: about because we don't set it. It's set by the
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: competitive supplier. But of course the questions come to Duke,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: why problem growing demand from the energy thirsty data centers.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: You also had the bad winter, the cold winter. Obviously
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: demand increases on that supply demand issues, demand higher, supply limited,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: and your price is going to go up. But data centers,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: and again, if you're going to go full on climbing
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: alarmism and go Democrats in November, don't think your bill's
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: going to ever go down again. Six six fifty five
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: car see the talk station local stories coming up. Phone
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: calls will be preferred. Thirty one on a Monday invitation
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: stopped to buy a fifty five carerc dot com podcast
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: When you can't listen, Why to Tech Friday's Dave hat
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: or bring him a count on energy policies past Friday.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Speaking of timing on that one, I'm sure we'll bring
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: them again real soon considering the realities of what's going on,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: with energy, but back to local stories. Over to the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: local stories, I should were more properly say we've got
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: sixty five year old man arrested in connection with a
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: deadly shooting happened in Avondale early on Friday morning. Jesse
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Wilson charged with aggravated murder after a thirty six year
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: old Jessica Hardy was shot and killed an apartment building
• 49:51

  Speaker 1: information at this time. But even though the article reporting
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: from Fox nineteen doesn't say call the homicide unit or
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: crime stoppers, I imagine the police wouldn't mind hearing from
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: your crime stoppers. Three five, two thirty forty and we

• 53:03
  Speaker 1: that might be the guy, or maybe people with face
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: tattoos don't always commit crimes. Seems to be a corollary there,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: as I've observed the mugshots we do with crime Stop

• 53:31
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two to three talks or pound five
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones, New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: back to the morning show. It's good to hear from
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: Good morning, nice to hear from you. I'm praying for
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: both you and Joe for those father.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Calcer, please please double down in the prayers for
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Joe's father. You can keep me off the list if
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: you have to choose limit your list of prayers. You
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: have my full approval. But I certainly appreciate your kind
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: words and your your thoughts from my health.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: Close, love family, you know it means a lot. Let
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: me get to the war now. I see a new
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: tactic is coming on, you know, Israel or Iran struck.
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: I think it was day. It was not Beirut, it
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: was well one of Dubai or one of the countries.
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: They're starting to strike at each other's desalinization plant. Yes, yes,
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: and if if you can remember that Iran in Tehran
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: they were talking about moving the capitol because of the
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: water shortage. There's only fifty four plants. The wells are
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: drying up. But now because they Israel attacked, the wells
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: are not the wells, but the refineries and storage facilities.
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: It's now raining oil, contaminating what little bit they had left.
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: It's very easily you could kill five million people because
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: they live out in deserts, and they said in a
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: very short time they could run out of water and
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: you could see mass steps. This thing could definitely spiral
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: out in a million different ways we never thought or
• 55:16
  Speaker 7: saw coming, because it just seems like it's escalating, and
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: you know, they're now striking and it's becoming obvious they're
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: going to try to increase the price of gasoline throughout
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: the country, throughout the world actually, and with that, you know,
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: like you said, the fertilizers and everything else. And I
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: don't think the Mullas are going to give up because
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: I remember one of the first things my teacher had
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: taught me when I was in the military was the
• 55:50
  Speaker 7: first casualty of war is lies. It's all lies, is
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: the truth. First casualty is truth. The second one is
• 55:59
  Speaker 7: everybody that war's going to be over quickly, and it
• 56:03
  Speaker 7: never is because we're fighting human beings, and human beings
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: are inherently smart and they will come up with new
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: tactics and it comes out to be always painful. Now
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: that there could be a good reason for that. You know,
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: nobody wants to see the Middle East with nukes. They've
• 56:22
  Speaker 7: proven themselves to be unreliable, so I'm not calling this
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: unjust war. I'm just saying this is either high rest,
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: high reward, or it's going to turn into the disaster.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean and may be ultimately high reward
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: down the road, but there's going to be a lot
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: of disaster that goes along with the humanitarian problems. Obviously
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: loss of life we've had. We have one more American
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: military soldier reported dead, and that's terrible, but seven out
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: of the grand scheme of things, I can only imagine
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: people displaced by the war, and the famine and the
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: starvation and the obviously when you drop bombs there's going
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: to be some civilian casualties that go along with that.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: And of course the world's focus always tends up, you know,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: looking at that and then blaming the United States or
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: the Israelis or whoever is leading the war for the casualties.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: What of all the casualties that are the consequence of
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the Iranians. And here's a question for you to hamstergare
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: are the Iranians launching so many missiles into territories of
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: people that you think they might went on their side.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: They're going after all the all that could be maybe
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: even were partially friends of Iran, people who didn't want
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: to destabilize the region. But all these Arab countries getting
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: attacked and forced them to all line up and at least,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: you know, lend some support to the military efforts by
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: the Israelits in the United States now bombing desalinization plants.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't understand the motive was behind them
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: unless they're trying to create a global conflict.
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: I think what they're trying to do is they're trying
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: to apply pressure against these countries, to apply pressure against
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: the United States to stop supplying war weapons into the region.
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: And for Israel, I don't think it's a very good tactic.
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's going to work. In fact, I
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: you know, this is what happens when you got third
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: grade leader military leaders trying to advise political leaders who
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: aren't very good. And I don't think that tactic's going
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: to work. But that's exactly what they're hoping. And now
• 58:23
  Speaker 7: they're going to go for the oil angle of it
• 58:26
  Speaker 7: and just cut everything off. They still have their submarines,
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: and those submarines can mine the straits. They're little mini subs.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: You know, And I would say for the time being, anywhere.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: For the time being, Gary, I said earlier, you know,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: could you float some dummy ships to the horror move
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: straight and find out where the missiles are coming from,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: whether it's the who these of the Iranians and hit
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: those military installations. I know that's going on already, not
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: the dummy ship concept that I sort of randomly pulled
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: out of my sphinter, but the idea that any place
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: they can find where missiles can be launched, they are
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: going to be attacked. So at some point they won't
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: be able to launch missiles anymore. How long that's going
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: to take remains to be seen. But in terms of
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the Iranian military, it'll take a little bit more time.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: But look how much progress they've made in two weeks.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: I'm blowing up all the Iranian military boats. How many
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: have they gotten so far? Forty including some subs. They
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: need the boat to look to deploy the mines that
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: might be deployed. And I haven't read any reports yet,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Gary that they have deployed mines in the Strait of Hormones.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Yet something tells me that might be widely reported if
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: it started to happen, but you have to have the
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: ability to do it in order to make good on
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: the threat. So every single day we move forward, and
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: every time we made more inroads against the Iranians, the
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: less likely is they will be able to launch any
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: one of those types of attacks. And so fully very soon,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: being prayerful and optimistic that we'll reach that point in time.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: But you're right, these things tend to be a lot
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: more complicated to take a hell of a lot longer
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: than they normally anticipate. And here's one for you, Gary's
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: we part company and ending the break the clock, I
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: believe is wanting on the War Powers Act, which gives
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: them sixty days plus an additional thirty or then you
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: got to pull the troops out. That's where we are
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: at least under the War Powers resolution. TikTok TikTok. Can
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: it be done within that period of time? We have
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: to keep our popcorn out and pray.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: For the best.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Appreciated Gary, as always, have a wonderful week, my friend
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: six forty seven. Right now, if you five KERR CD
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: talk station. Now, if you are tired of that crack
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: dull concrete flooring that the.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: Seat the talk station.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Six fifty two if fifty five per CD talk station
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: pretty Monday. Yes, my summarin a friend Mike, who send
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: me a message. The littoral combat ships are the ones
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: that we're going to send there because they do mind
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: detection and removal. Perhaps you said, he's perhaps see them
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: in the Gulf shortly if they start putting mines in
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: the waters, I imagine. So like the USS Cincinnati I
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: talked to the commander of the US Cincinnati describe as
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: a training vessel for the most part, but one of
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: many we've got. Thank you, Mike, and thanks for your service.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: All right, which direction is Tehran gonna go? Apparently they
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: don't want to consult Donald Trump with the appointment of
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: the new top cleric. Which does anybody think a Muslim
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: country would agree to letting Donald Trump determine or have
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: they say in you the new top cleric is seems unlikely,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: And of course that's not the direction Iran went. The
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: other day they appointed Mojtaba Kameni, son of the recently
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: dead Ayatola Ali Kameni. Hey's the new supreme leader. And
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: all the experts are saying this is a signal that
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Tehran is knocking to back down. It's a hardliner selection,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: and the hardliners now remain in control. With this guy,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: he's fifty six years old, expected to take what is
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: described as a confrontational stance toward the West. According to
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: some of the experts, one guy, director of Middle East
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: and North American program called Chatham House. Doesn't mean anything
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: to me, but he suggests this is the continuation of
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: the same old strategy, repression at home and resistance internationally.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary guard in the Iranian army that will be the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: revolutionary guard. I believe the ones that were beating down
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and murdering protesters, plus the Iranian lady, have already pledged
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: allegiance to the new leader. Now here's where the vendetta
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: part comes in. Memories are long, and if your dad
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: as well as members of your family have been killed
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: on these by these Americans or Israeli attacked, you might
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: have a vendetta or a rather large chip on your shoulder. So,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: in addition to his father being killed at the beginning
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: of the US Israeli campaign, this guy also lost his mother, wife,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: and son in strikes. Do you expect moderation from this
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: guy in any way, shape or form. Israel already pointed out,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to go after whoever the new Supreme Leader is.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Question remains whether that's actually going to be accomplished. Kept
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: a low profile mostly he is closely tied to the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard, where he served during the nineteen eighty eighty
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: eight Iran Iraq War. Revolutionary Guard paid a central role
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: in repressing domestic opposition, so he's friendly to the oppressors
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: in Iran. And this is kind of funny. Wall Street
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: General reporting that this guy's ascendance marks the first hereditary
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: transfer of the position of Supreme Leader, you know, like
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: when you have a king and the king passes along
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: the throne to the next heir in line. Yeah, they
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: don't go for that, apparently, I said the founders of
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic denounced when they overthrew the monarchy in
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. Yeah, the Shaw right, that is a
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: bloodline succession. They said they thought passing on power to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: ones child was un Islamic. Well, I guess they're not
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: looking at the mirror on this one. And the designation
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: as Supreme Leader described as a lifetime appointment, so at
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: least for the time being. The guy moj Tama Kamani.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: What are people doing? Do you think Bobby's doing? Over
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and under? How long this guy's around?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Joe?
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Is that betting site taking bets on that one? I imagine?
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: So what's just the name of that site, Joe? They
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: take bets on almost anything. Cashi Okay, place your bets,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: don't go away. After the top of the air news,
• 1:04:22

• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I will tell you upfront, Sarah. Conceptually, you know, just
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: sort of looking at it. I love the idea of
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: limiting property taxes. There are other states who've done that
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: and they've been able to succeed in doing it. So
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: how come we can't have that here in Ohio. The
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: retort from that is, oh my god, the you know,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: income tax is going to have to go up through
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: the roof, or sale tax is going to have to
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: go up in the roof. Obviously, there needs to be
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: a replacement for the mechanism for funding like local fire
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: schools and all that. And people think it's all going
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: to get shut down. So I've always viewed this as
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to force the representatives and senators in the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: state about how to actually do something and come up
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: with solutions. I mean, insofar as school funding is concerned, Sarah.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: You know what, I know it that Supreme Court here
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: and know how declared the school funding mechanism is unconstitutional,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: and here we are decades later with no change. I
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: don't know how that can be brought about, but exactly,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: you know, just turning to the school issue alone, Sarah,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: what is it going to look like if there are
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: enough signatures, this is on the ballot and people vote
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 8: What about the school Yeah?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Well, first of all, we don't have to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: touch a single teacher anything to do with the classroom
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: if we just get rid of some of this floated administration.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've got superintendents making three and four hundred
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars a year, and not just superintendents, but you
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: can go to gov salaries dot Com and look up
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: there's like an army of administrators, compliance officers. They're all
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: making six figures and they never set foot in the classroom.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: So we can start there and never touch a single teacher.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: But that's this is why it matters who our next
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: governor is, whether the amendment passes are not. And what
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: I wanted to talk to you about is we did
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: get a meeting with the Vic Ramaswami and it went
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: really really well.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to pivot over to that. I
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: just want to the more confounding issues are really how
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: is it going to look if the property tax because
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: it does impact so many areas of funding. What is
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: the solution going to be? But we can pivot over
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: to the Rama Swaman and what his reaction was to
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: this concept is he embraced the idea of eliminating it.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: Is he like it sounds good? But what did he say?
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: Well, he was he was very encouraging. Well, first of all,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: we got the meeting not through any politician or the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: Central Committee, but it was entirely through the grassroots. Means
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: my friend and she's a great patriot, Lindacaddle. She's been
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: facilitating these meetings with the VEC and the grassroots Conservatives
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: and there's a lot of them. And I only had
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: a few minutes to sort of introduce him at that
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: meeting with everybody to our cause. But I wasn't able
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: to lay out three points that everybody needs to know
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: about our movement. One, property taxes in Ohio are so
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: much worse than any politician or the news are going
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: to say. You've probably heard this thirty percent number. Taxes
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: went up thirty percent for a lot of people. It
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: was fifty sixty seventy two hundred and four hundred percent
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: double and triple increases in twenty twenty three for about
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: a third of the homeowners. And that's mostly a little
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: moderate to low income neighborhood, so it's really bad. And
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: then the second thing that I told him was that
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: our petition didn't come out of nowhere. For years, we've
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: been trying to get reform passed and the state legislature
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: refused to act. And we always get asked that, well,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: why did you go right to a polishment, why, you know,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: start with no taxes on seniors or coming up, And well,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: we tried that and the state just played the fiddle
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: while help ownership burns of the ground. And then finally
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: the third one, and this is important, you can sign
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: the petition and not vote and abolish property taxes. There's
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: two things going on here. You know, a lot of
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: people are signing, you know, even we've got the county
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: employees to sign, just to get it on the ballot
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: and let the people decide how they're going to be governed.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: And so we need four hundred and thirteen thousand signatures.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: What have we got a million?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: So just please sign it to get it on the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: ballot and stand with the people. And you already gave
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: the website Axohio, tex find o where to sign.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: So did v vic Ronaldsomy address some of the concerns
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: I think legitimate concerns like, well, what happens if the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: ones you know, how are how our schools going to
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: get find out? What about my local police and fire department,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: all the folks that rely on that. So did he
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: have anything to say about the devil and the details
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: if I mean boil it down to something like that.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, we so we talked.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: We've told them we need his help not just with
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: property taxes, but just with the whole way of thinking
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: in Columbus. If you notice everything that comes out against
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: our meeting, I mean, I'm sorry against our movement with
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: abolishing property taxes.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: It's all about how it affects.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: The government with no acknowledgment about what's already happened to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: the people. I mean, one guy was saying, oh, property taxes.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's one leg of the three legged
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: stool of state funding. You know, we can't even afford
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: a three legged stool because of the property taxes. You've
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: got to get on that side of the equation. And
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: the other one is there'll be a hole in the
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: state budget that we can't fill. Well, we got pretty
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: much a shotgun blast through our finances. We need to
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: start on that side of the equation, something that's affordable,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: and then you can talk about what services that buy.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: But this starves the problem, forcing them to make cuts
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: that you and I would advocate for all the time
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: and have been screaming about the size of government for years.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 6: So this is absolutely in the red state.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: And he seemed very surprised by that that in a
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: red state, this big government beast has occurred in Ohio,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: and he was he was, he seemed very surprising. And
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: and the fact that we were shut out, I mean,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: you know that our current governor wouldn't even meet with us,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: and he had he had that tax, the property tax,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: the force tax, force whatever it was we caught to
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: stop the petitions working group, but there were no loveowners
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: on it, regular homeowners. You know, you've got to talk
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: to the people. You've got to find out what the people.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: And that's the kind of relationship that we want with
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: our next governor. Because whether he did not sign his
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: time this time, he did say to keep going. He
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: didn't insult us or try to talk us out of
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: any of it. And everything he does, you know, obviously
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: he's running for governor and so he has to consider things.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: Every movie mixed from every side.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 8: But he's very.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: Encouraging on that front. And I don't know he still
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: might sign, But I think he was surprised and he
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: was taking notes. He had his staff there taking notes,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: and he kept saying, did you get that?
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Did you get that?
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: So this was the first time I think you heard
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: the whole story from our side. He's only been hearing
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: from the politicians about it.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Well, good, I'm glad it was willing to meet with you.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: I'm glad at least he was. You know, at least
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: it braces some measure of reform along property taxes. You know,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the idea of that some senior could get foreclosed out
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: of their home after owning it. You know, I mean,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: this is the real big insult in the room. It's
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: like the greatest illustration. Are you telling me you're going
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: to everything you want?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Gone?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: Everything he worked for in the act that we're complained
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: about a cable bill. You know, this is our homes
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: and everything. So I mean a lot of people say, well,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: we don't need a signature, and he can't veto it.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: It's an amendment. But I think it does matter who
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 4: the next governor is, because if it passes, we don't
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 4: want I won't going back in history the Boston Tea Party, right,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: what happened after the Boston Tea Party. The English passed
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: the Intolerable Acts. You know, they were being punitive, and
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: we don't want a governor or a government that's going
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: to punish us for the people rising up and fixing
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: this problem out. Well, that's the one thing, and then
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: if it doesn't task. We did talk at length about
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: the reforms. John Kusnik was there. Oh, he gives a
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: barnburner if you ever want to have on your show.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: He's Lake County commission and a tax professor. So he
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: was talking about some of the other reforms. Now we're
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: seeing abolishment through to the end. But if it doesn't happen,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: we want the next best thing. And the good thing
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: about our petition is now that we've gone for all
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: the marvels, some of these reforms that we've proposed in
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: the past were looking pretty good to them.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, this is hard to go for.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: This is why I like what you were doing. We've
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: been complaining about a few years. They haven't done anything
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: w or DeWine veto the provisions in the budget that
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: might have addressed some of it. To it to throw
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: it over to this tax reform group. I'm not quite
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: sure what happened there. Real quick before we park company
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: because we've got another guest coming up, and I Sarah Wolfe,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: I appreciate what you're doing. X ax O h t
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: A x x OHIO taxaxohtax dot com. You are obviously
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: at grassroots Organization's a loosely knit group of people who've
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: gotten together to put signatures out there or to get
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: signatures for the ballot initiative. Is there going to be
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: and do you see an organized, moneyed opposition to your efforts?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: I imagine the teachers Union, yes, but who else?
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, they're all going to come out. Yeah, yeah, there
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: were with using our tax dollars. Of course, that's that's
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: the kick in the head about it. You know, they're
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna come out with commercials and everything like this.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: But don't underestimate the people. I mean, I went down
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: to get signatures when taxes were property taxes were due
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: down at the county building and people were running up
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: to us. I mean we got one hundred and forty
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: four signatures in three hours. That was like a signature
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: a minute we were getting and people were just all
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: fired up, and it's all it's both sides of the aisle,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: which is a beautiful thing. Yeah, you know, just don't
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 4: underestimate the people because I think we you know, anything
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: can happen in politics, but I think if it gets
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: on the ballot.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: It's gonna fast.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Four hundred thirteen, four hundred and eighty eight signatures need
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: to be based upon the calculations. The goal get one
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty percent of those because some of them
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: aren't always good. Behind this effort, Sarah Wolfe actsohtax dot com.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: Check it out online if you're interested. There's an opportunity
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: for her to join in the fund. Sarah, I am
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: anxiously awaiting to see how this turns out one way
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: or another. It has definitely become an interesting conversation. No,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: thank you, Sarah for what you are doing. Seven seventeen.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smith just shiney seven twenty two if doybove care
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: City Talk station. It's Monday. It's that time. I always
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: look forward to this time. It's the Smith event. Former
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: vice mayor of the City of since St. Christopher Smithman.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Christopher, my friend. It's always a pleasure to
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: have you on the morning show.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: Oh thank you for having me on. You know, it's
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 8: been a real tough week since the last time I've
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 8: been on because of the violence, you know, in the
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 8: city of Cincinnati. If I'm right, eleven people shot, three
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 8: dead since I've been on the radio the last time.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 8: And that does not include Brian Thomas, the mass shooting
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: that happened the day before. We're talking twenty people's shots
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 8: right over an eight day period of time, pretty easily,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 8: and four homicides or three deaths, three deaths. And what's
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 8: soding about the violence is you see, whether it's Madisonville
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: or OTR or Avondale, because I hear the top of
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 8: the hour a young woman was shot in the neck.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: You just you hear a deafening silence from our city leaders.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 8: It's almost as if they just know these are the
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 8: things that are going to happen. It's not normal, Brian Thomas.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 8: For twenty people from the mass shooting, then the eleven
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 8: people's different areas of our fifty two neighborhoods shot between
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 8: the last time I was on the radio and today,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 8: and all of those victims as I can see them,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 8: are all Black Americans as I can see them, right,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 8: I don't I don't believe this. And maybe the FOP
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 8: president will call in and there was a different victim,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 8: But I don't believe that that out of those shootings
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 8: there was a white victim, and most of I could
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 8: probably project that the people who were doing the shooting
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 8: were also Black Americans. How can we have that kind
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 8: of level of violence happening in our city and have
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 8: a tone death mayor and nine members of council and
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 8: an administration. I know that right in front of the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 8: city Hall there's a mural that says black lives matter, Right,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 8: I know that they project that they care right. But
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 8: but when they're passing resolutions about what's going on in
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 8: Israel and what's going on and Iran or whatever they're
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 8: doing about what's going on in the world, when you
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: see this level of violence, meaning I don't want to downplay,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 8: my heart goes out to all seven servicemen and women
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 8: who lost their lives in this conflict that we're in, right,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 8: but we had, we're gonna have just as many or
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 8: more murders, right, most likely in the city of Cincinnati
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 8: this year, most likely than the entire conflict in Irani
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 8: of US citizens, Meaning there might be seventy or eighty
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 8: murders in Cincinnati this year, right, I would predict that
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 8: they're not going to be seventy or eighty servicemen or
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 8: women in this conflict. And every death and every life
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 8: is it matters. I'm not downplaying any of the deaths.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 8: I'm saying that we are in a war in our
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 8: city streets, and we do not have a council or
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 8: a mayor or any body in this city administration that
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: seems to care, are willing to put together a plan
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 8: that they're willing to be held accountable to to our public.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 8: No press conferences know nothing is just another black person
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 8: male or female then in one of our fifty two neighborhoods.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 8: And yes, it really insenses me that I don't hear
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 8: anything from the leadership in the city of Cincinnati. I
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 8: don't want to hear them ever come forth with black
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 8: lives matter, because they don't. To them, they do not
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 8: care right. All they care about are what are the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 8: kind of photo ops we have to have? And if
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 8: that doesn't suit them, the politicians are not going to
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 8: show up. If they can't use the death in some
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 8: kind of way to project something that's related to them politically,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 8: they're not going to say a thing about it.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: Brand there is the answer to the question. I think, Christopher,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: you hit it out of the park.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: On that.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: We'll pause. Bring Christopher Smitheman back seven twenty six fifty
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: five KRCD Talk station and me giving you a strong
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: seven thirty fifty five KERCD Talk station Brian Thomas with
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Christopher's Smitheman doing what we call the smither Vent every
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Monday beginning at seven to twenty Christopher Smitheman and my
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: friend what else is on your mind today? Are we
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: going to continue with them? Along the deafening silence from
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: council about the outrageous crime going on within the City
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm going to switch a little bit. But what
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 8: I want to do is put a bow this so
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 8: that you're listening audience, they understand that I might know
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 8: what I'm talking about as it relates to the politicians.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 8: Having been the vice mayor, having been the chair of
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 8: of of Law and Public Safety for the City of Cincinnati.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: Remember when there was an attack in the in the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: middle of downtown where you had members of council holding
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: press conferences all over the place saying they wanted somebody
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: white arrested. That that that that incident shows you that
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 8: when they want to come out, when they want to
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: make announcements about things, when they're dealing with violence, they can't.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 8: The question is why aren't they as active on this
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: as they were on the Holly incident when she was
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: knocked out. Right, I'm trying to I'm trying to make
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 8: so you see how you said you felt that, right,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: they were everywhere, they held three press conferences. They were
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 8: demanding this and demanding that. I'm saying, we had a
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 8: mass shooting of nine. You know, we've got almost eleven
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: people shot to this. The last time I've been on
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 8: the radio, three did across our fifty two neighborhoods, which
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 8: which is an absolute tragedy, and my heart goes out
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 8: to all of their families. But I'm asking why do
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 8: they not have press conferences today on that? Because they
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 8: we could not get rid of them off of our
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 8: TV when it was related to the incident in the
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 8: fight that occurred in downtown didn't.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe Christopher, because the one in downtown Cincinnati, the resulting
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: in Holly getting that beatown on beat down on video.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, she's going to be on the program
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: coming up after the top of the hour News at
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: eight to h five. Because it made national news. Everyone
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: was looking at the city of Cincinnati and watching those videos, going,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: oh my god, in Heaven, look at how terrible that is.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Those people are getting brutally beaten and don't seem to
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: have really done anything. Oh look there's Holly rendering aid
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: to one of the victims.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, she.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Got cold cocked in the face by a man or
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: three times her side. You can't hide from that. They
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: were forced to come out now to address it, and
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: yet any given weekend or week as the case, maybe
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: we get well loving people shot to a few people
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: stab some of them dead. That's not worthy of national intention.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: That's just business as usual at least crime and usual
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: I think you drew it very beautifully there. And at
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 8: the cherry on the top is when we had a
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 8: judge put a fifty thousand dollars right on a guy
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 8: who shot nine people at one time, one in critical condition,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: who happens to be an African American males judge and
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 8: nobody understood it. And that's why the ATF that's why
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 8: the FBI, that's why the US Attorney for the United
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: States of America said they were going to file federally,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: and listen, dude, you're not going anywhere, because if he
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 8: had if that, if that, if the US Attorney had
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 8: not done that, they knew that the person who had
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: done a mass shooting would have walked out of the
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 8: door the next day. And so that's what's so crazy
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 8: about this many The last time I was on the show,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 8: I didn't know that there was going to be a
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 8: fifty thousand dollars bard. I hadn't discussed it because it
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 8: wasn't out there right. That happened after I got off
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 8: the radio on Monday of last week. So the cherry
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 8: on top of all of this is we have a
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 8: judicial system that seems not to care about black people
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: or white people who illegally have guns that are shooting
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 8: people in our neighborhood. They're willing to put these crazy
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 8: bonds on them and just say, hey, you can go
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 8: back home. That puts terror in those neighborhoods because we
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 8: know who the shooters are. And so somebody shoots nine
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: people and grandma sees them walking down the street the
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: next day. What do you think that does to the community.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 8: Brian thommins, not a.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Positive look there, Christopher Smithing, And do you think a
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: judge like I guess, I'm trying to contemplate the idea
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: that this individual might represent a greater harm to the
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: black community. Should a judge say, huh, I'm a black man, judge,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: I can I'm concerned about the black community. Therefore, I'm
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: gonna put one hundred thousand dollars bond on this guy
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: because he may very well go back home where he lives,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: let's say, hypothetically in a black community. But if he
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: lived in a white community. I'm gonna only put a
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars, but that will be a racist at
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Christopher And honestly, I'm trying to struggle with the idea
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: that that might happen that way.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, a mass shooting of nine people where
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 8: the victims were screaming out for justice. Everybody there, you know,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 8: the super super super supermajority of people there that were
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 8: there with this. You other had just there to have
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 8: a good turn. Yeah, right, as somebody has spraying bullets
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 8: into the crowd. The terror of that is insane, just
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 8: the terror of it. The people are gonna need counseling
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 8: after something like that. I just was shocked by the
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 8: bond and I was glad that there was an adult
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 8: in the room the federal government that said no, no, no,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 8: you're not going anywhere where. I know we're going to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 8: go to break And what I want to talk about
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna tee it up is the Jesse Jackson funeral
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: because that happened there that the family has been speaking
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 8: about publicly, but the news is not covering, and that
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 8: is their concern about their funeral of their father, Jesse
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 8: Jackson Junior. Turned into a political rally, which is something
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: he articulated to them prior to his father service. Please
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: don't come here with your political speeches. Right, and if
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 8: you heard what Jesse Jackson Junior said, because you're listening
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 8: to the audience, might not know this because it's not
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: being reported. He said, none of the three former presidents
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: who spoke at my father's funeral knew him personally at all.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: Right, and Trump was not one of them. You got Biden,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: you got Obama, you got Clinton. Donald Trump wasn't there.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: And yet Jesse Jackson Jr. Slammed the other three the world.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that with Christopher Smitheman coming up next.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to experience comfort and reliability because I
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: want you to rely on Zimmer heating and air conditioning.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: Which Beef Talk Station.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: Seven forty here fifty five KRI City Talk Station, Bryan
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Thomas with Christopher Smitheman, what we call the E Smith event.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: James wanted to pivot over to the Jesse Jackson funeral,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: the memorial, that service that was being done. I would
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: say the crowd there, Christopher, from my observations in the
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: video that I saw a largely or at least predominantly
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: black crowd. I thought one of the more interesting elements
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: before you get to the Jesse Jackson juniors slamming the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: three former presidents that were there, Biden, Obama and Clinton. Biden,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: I think kind of stepped with it. Speaking to a
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: group of largely black people. He told the crowd he
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: was a hell of a lot smarter than most of you.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: Wow, I don't think he has any self awareness, Christopher.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: But go ahead and your comments, sir.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 8: I just you know, I've been watching, trying to watch
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 8: MSNBC and CNN just to see if they were going
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 8: to illuminate what Jesse Jackson Junior's reflections were about his
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 8: father's memorial, and they have it, and so what you
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 8: see is this what what what I want to call
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 8: this black bout of information. You know, in politics and
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 8: on our news stations, is not just what they talk about,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 8: it's what they don't talk about. And so most people
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 8: are a lot of people listening this morning might not
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 8: know that Jesse Jackson Junior had some very pointed comments
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: about the politicians that spoke at his father's funeral. He said,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 8: I told them before they were coming, don't make my
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 8: father's funeral about politics. He also stated that the three
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 8: presidents who spoke never knew his father, and he said
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 8: that his father spent a lifetime really fighting against the
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 8: politicians and their public policies. These are these are this
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 8: is what he's he's communicating, and he's speaking on behalf
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 8: of the entire family and his mom. He acknowledged his mother,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 8: who was there somewhere in his remarks, and what he
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 8: was basically saying here is and he said, it doesn't
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 8: matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or an independent.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 8: You know, my father was about public policy, not about
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 8: your party and what you've done here, which he wasn't disappointed,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 8: But what he was articulating is you came and made
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 8: a political rally out of my father's memorial and out
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 8: of our pain, suffering and death of our father. Remember,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 8: this is a man who was a grandfather, who was
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 8: a father who we loved, right, who fought injustices in America.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: We thought you were going to come and tell his story,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: not tell your story. And so I think it was
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 8: a very point of comment, and it was a tee
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 8: off of what a lot of politicians do. And I
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 8: have to tell you, it meant a lot to me
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 8: in this sense, because I buried a spouse and I
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 8: wouldn't want anybody you were there. I wouldn't want anybody
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 8: coming and being political at my wife's funeral. It's not
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 8: the time, it's not the place. Right. The governor spoke
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 8: at Pamela's funeral, he didn't make it about politics at all.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 8: And so my point is that the family has set
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 8: a message this week that it seems like the news
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 8: is under reporting that he was very concerned about them
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 8: turning his father's funeral into their own personal political rally,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 8: which he did not like.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: Quote, but these ongoing services are welcome to all Democrat, Republican,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: liberal and conservative, right wing, left wing because his life
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: it means to be an American. I'm glad he went up.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: He stood up and said that that's not really something
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: I would have expected out of Jesse Jackson Jr.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 8: Well, the point is that he's saying, I'm here, He's
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 8: a grieving son, and he's saying, listen, guys, this wasn't
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 8: the time or place for you to come and make
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 8: your political speeches. I'm uncomfortable with it. And Democrats are
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: so used to going to African American churches listen and
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 8: giving these types of political speeches at the end of
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 8: the service, and so many black of Americans are tired
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 8: of it. I know I'm tired of it. Speaking for myself,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 8: I'm tired of politicians showing up to our black churches
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 8: during election time saying I want your vote, I need
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 8: your vote, I need your support. But when you and
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: I are talking about eleven people shot and nine shot
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 8: on the Sunday in a mass shooting prior to last Monday,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 8: and you hear really nothing of substance coming from the
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 8: nine members of council, the mayor, or the city administration.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 8: But the Democratic Party uses Jesse Jackson Senior's funeral for
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 8: a platform for them to make political pronouncements. So many
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 8: Black Americans are tired of it, and that is what
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: you're starting to see. You're hearing Black Americans saying, we
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 8: want public policy. We don't care what your political affiliation is.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 8: We want you to deliver on what you said you
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 8: were going to do. And Black Democrats and white Democrats
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 8: are not used to this discussion that we're having, and
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 8: anytime a black American starts standing up for their own
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 8: political independence, all of a sudden, we're not black anymore,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 8: as Biden said, Yeah, all of a sudden, when you
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 8: get a mind of your own, all of a sudden,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 8: you're not black. You're an uncle Tom, You're a sellout.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 8: How could you not just vote for a Democrat because
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 8: I don't like that Democrat. I don't like what that
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 8: Democrat has done.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: And the ever growing rising tide of people who otherwise
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: are Democrat leaning standing up and saying quit insulting Black
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: people by telling us we're too dumb to get a
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: photo ID. I mean, just one other tangent corollary. I
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: am so pleased to hear that. More and more I've
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: been saying here on the fifty five Carrissey Morning Show,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: expressing insult on behalf of my black friends, Like, how
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: on the hell can you insult an entire race of
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: people telling them they can't get a driver's license. They
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: do it every damn day. You and I have talked
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: about that here. On the terms of the NAACP voting,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got to be a member and show
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: a photo ID in order to cast a vote for
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: President of the NAACP. Clearly you can manage that. So
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: a welcome, welcome, growing cry about stop saying that you
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: are insulting people.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 8: Well, what you're really hearing. And my father said this
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 8: to me when I was elected the first time. And
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 8: I think I've told you this privately, but he asked
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 8: me to come to his study. He said one thing
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 8: to me. He said, look, son, I do not want
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 8: you to hide your intelligence. And what he was saying
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 8: is I grew up and I was born in the
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 8: nineteen thirties, where when you were African American, if you
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 8: had the answer and there was somebody right there, you
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 8: couldn't upstagium. You had to act as if you didn't
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 8: know the answer. Well, my father, with a doctorate in
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 8: organic chemistry from Howard University, a wonderful HBCU, was saying
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 8: to me, Look, the real fight, the real fight, Christopher,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 8: is not hiding your intelligence, being comfortable in your own skin.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 8: If you know the answer to the math problem, say it.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 8: If you ever understand the politics, say it. What you're
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 8: seeing is a new generation of African Americans who are
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 8: not their parents. We love our parents, We appreciate everything
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 8: they did. Everything Jesse Jackson had to sacrifice walking through
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 8: back doors people assassinated in the sixties, standing right next
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 8: to him, we appreciate the work that he did when
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 8: he was singing, we shall overcome. But now we're in
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 8: a new air, an error, where we are outside of
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 8: some of this we shall overcome. And it's about economic empowerment.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 8: It's about owning things. It's about knowing who to vote for,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 8: not being tied to a political party. And what you're
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 8: seeing is my generation is starting to take over because
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 8: my mother's generation and Jesse Jackson's generation, and bless all
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 8: of their hearts are starting to pass away. And so
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 8: now as Jesse Jackson Junior is standing there, he's saying,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 8: I'm not my father, right, I'm his son, and I
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 8: understand America and the fabrics, and I understand all of
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 8: the great progress we've made in this country. And what
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 8: I want to hear to hear you talking about now
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 8: is public policy that helps our community, not just here
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 8: up here dancing and shuffling and saying, oh, I just
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 8: want your vote because I'm a Democrat, and I really
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 8: don't have any answers to any of your serious problems.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 8: I just say I'm a Democrat and I want you
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 8: to vote for me. I'm saying in Jesse Jackson Junior's
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 8: comments to your listening audience, and it was a very
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 8: important speech that he gave, and he would it was
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 8: a lightning rod speech to the Democratic Party. Don't come
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 8: here with your madness anymore. And you're not gonna pimp
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 8: out my dad and his death and our family for
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 8: your political advantage. You did something that was bad and
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 8: I'm going to tell the whole world about it.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: Amen. Appreciate you bringing that topic to the fifty five
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: Case Morning Show listening audience, because you're right, with the
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: exception of a notable handful of conservative media outlets, you're
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: not hearing this any place else. So Christopher got you
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: to thank for pointing out what was a brilliant point
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: made by Jesse ja Junior. God bless you, Christopher Smithman.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on so much for having me on.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 8: People can follow me on my x page at Boat Smitherman.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 8: I'll see you next Monday.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: I'll look forward to it, Christopher, have a great week
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: between now and that. Seven forty Night's Brian Thomas hosted
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: the fifty five Carssey Morning Show and I'm very happy
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: Monday to you. I know you're thinking, well, it's time
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: for money, money with Brian James. We normally do it
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: at this time, but no, an interesting and positive development
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: this morning. Holly has returned to the fifty five KRC
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. And I think all of my listening audience
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: is pretty darn familiar with who Holly is, but to
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: the extent you're not. It was August the last year.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: We all recall the brutal, brutal beat down, the melee
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: that happened in downtown Cincinnati. People are being prosecuted for that,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: but the one most awful and heinous reality about that
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: was the video of seeing Holly get cold cocked in
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: the face. Holly, welcome back to the morning show. It's
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: a terrific time to have you on, considering the legislation's
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: being proposed in Ohio in your name. But let me
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: start by asking you how are you doing. I know
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: you suffered some serious injuries and that I just wanted
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: to get an update on New York on your condition.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, thank you so much. I'm doing a lot better.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: I still you know, I have some permanent brain damage
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 6: and I have some neurological issues that are probably going
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 6: to be permanent as well. I know, for the past
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 6: i want to say, eight months, at least three to
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 6: five times a week, I've been going to different doctors, specialists,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 6: physical therapists, everything. I still, you know, suffer from migraines
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: and chronic fatigue and just you know, put my words together,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: so memory issues. But I'm just I'm so glad to
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 6: be alive, and I'm just glad to finally be healing
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 6: and still be able to kind of advocate and bring
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 6: awareness to the reality of what happened to me was
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 6: so preventable. And I think a lot of the crimes, violent,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: heinous crimes and murders are also preventable. And so with
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 6: Holly's law, I think other lawmakers really saw that and
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 6: it kind of put a spotlight on, hey, what's going on,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: you know, especially not just Cincinnati, but I think it's
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 6: a it's an epidemic going on around the country where
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 6: you know, these violent criminals who repeatedly are you know,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 6: their rapists, and they're robbing people at gunpoint and all
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 6: this stuff, and they're being out with no bond or
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: maybe a three hundred dollars bond, and then while they're out,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: you know, on bond, a week later they go and
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 6: do the same thing, and then it's like nobody is
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: really doing anything about it, and a lot of these
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 6: cities holding the judges accountable, right, So that's kind of
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: been my thing I've been screaming from the rooftops is
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: why why were these people out?
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 6: Why did they happened? Not just to me, but why
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: is it still happening all the time? Because if you
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: go to Hamilton County, I think Clerk of Courts or
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: whatever public record, look at these people's record. Not one
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: of them was the first time offenders, and there was
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: one guy who had forty had been arrested forty two
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 6: times for different things, and almost all of them have
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 6: a violence of records. So that just comes to show that,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: you know, if the judges were doing their job, and
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying all judges don't, but these specific judges
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: putting everyone's life at risk. You know, I look at
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 6: it as they're playing Russian Roulette with the innocent people,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: our lives, our loved ones, and we didn't sign up
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 6: for this, and yet we had no voice and we
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 6: had no say before and now we have a say,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: because I think so many people were outraged and they're like, no, no, no, no,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 6: you know, let's let's let's putting into this, let's figure
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 6: out how So I think Holley's Act is is going
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: to be the first step in the right direction of accountability, well.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: One way of getting at the judges. And I think
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: Holly's Act does just that, which it allows the Ohio
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: Attorney General to appeal a judge's decision if the bail
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: seems too low, so the ag can independently look at it.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: And I mean nobody else has a position other than
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor make an argument in front of a judge.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: And of course if it's a low bail, they maybe
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: have ignored the prosecutor's request for a high bond or
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: no bond. Then entered the Attorney General who can appeal
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: that decision. So we do have some potential relief on that.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: In this bill.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, which I'm like, oh, that gives me goosebumps. Now,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 6: I truly believe that's going to save so many people's lives,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 6: you know, and I'm not just being dramatic about it,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: just truly, I mean, these people are they're murderers and
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 6: they're the suducs and criminals during the drive buys and
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: everything else. And you know, I think that there should
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: be someone higher up than the judge saying, hey, wait
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 6: a minute, no, this person has proven that they don't
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 6: play well with others. They can't be functioning members of society.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 6: They don't get to go out and you know, go
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: hurt more people while they're also a waiting trial for
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: already hurting someone. So you know, I'm just glad that
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: now somebody else with a voice of reason can be like, no,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 6: they're gonna sit in jail and they're not going to
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: keeping violent, you know, putting other people's lives at risk
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 6: or killing them or whatever. So this is this is exciting.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 6: I think it's a we should all be very excited
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 6: about this. And I DJ Swarring. Jen is the one.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 6: He's the lawmaker, who the state representative who really has
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: just kind of put it all together and put himself
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: out there and really has advocated hard for this. So
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 6: I just want to say thank you to him and everyone.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 6: You know, if you want the build to go through
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 6: and you want your children to be safe, please call
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 6: and say tell them your story if something has happened
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 6: to you or you know, if I just think the
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 6: more that we talk about it and the more that
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: we call and say, hey, this is awesome, let's do this,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 6: the easier it'll be to pass it.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: Included in addition to the ability of the Attorney General
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: to appeal, which I think will put some pressure on
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: the judge during the initial bond hearing to maybe set
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: a better bond level, knowing full well that the ag
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: may come in and call them out, which would reveal
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: them to be a low bond type of judge, which
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: could impact them in an election. There's an idea. But
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: this also requires the bond payment to go up from
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: the ten percent. It's usually like okay, it's one thousand
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: dollars and they pay up ten percent and that's sufficient.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: So now it's going to go up to twenty five percent.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: That's another component of Holly's Act that will require a
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: little more stake in the action for the defendant in
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: the courtroom.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, absolutely, definitely a spotlight on the judges for sure.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 6: And uh, you know, I I do think that instead
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 6: of ten percent is going to be better. And I
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 6: think they're also going to make it a little bit harder,
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 6: just on you know, the criminal. I was shown a
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 6: piece of paper, and I was outraged by this. But
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 6: I guess in most courts when someone's arrested, they have
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 6: this little half sheet piece of paper they write down
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 6: their name, address, phone number. It's basically an IOU saying yeah, sure,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 6: I'll give you your money. You're ten percent and here's
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 6: my address. So a lot of these people are flight
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 6: rests and they don't show up for court, and they're
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: out there killing people and robbing them, you know. And
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: so now they're gonna they're going to change some of
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 6: the way that that's done too, and really make sure
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 6: that this person's going to come back to court.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: I hate to laugh because this is not a laughing topic.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: But one of the reasons you have a bond is
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: because of flight risk. You know, if the more of
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: a flight risk you are, the higher the bond should be,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: so you're guaranteed to get it back in court. But
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: the bill also strengthens the consequences for repeat failures, so
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: it addresses that as well. And the other thing. And
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, you know, to the extent there's going to
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: be some sort of you know litigation or you know,
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: claims of unconstitutionality. I like the concept. Maybe the devil's
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: in the details, but under the bill, nonprofits like the
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: Bail Project are going to be limited in their ability
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: to come in, you know, sort of as a white
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: knight and pay the bond for the defendant that's standing
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: in the courtroom.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, absolutely, I think that that is I'm glad
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 6: you brought that up to So. I think all of
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 6: these things together are going to really strengthen it, because
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 6: I think if it was just one little piece of
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 6: the bill that they're trying to pass, it make that
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 6: much of a difference. But I think all of these
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 6: things compiled and I think they looked into the future
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 6: and said, okay, how are they going to try and
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 6: find loopholes? Let's shut that down. And this is one
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 6: of the ways to also shut that down.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: Indeed, So where do you know where it is in process?
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on this on the
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: Is it a final, solidified legislation? Are they still hammering
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: out the details of it? Where are we? Because I
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: certainly want my listeners to get in touch with their
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: elected officials in Ohiland, get them to push this through, Holly.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 6: So, I think we're still in the beginning stages from
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 6: what I'm told, and again I am not a lawyer, lawmaker,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 6: none of the understood normal folk. But from what I'm told,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 6: it's still in the beginning stages. They're still kind of
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 6: working out some of the details, you know, because like
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 6: you said, there are people trying to already fight it
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 6: and say, well, this is unconstitutional. They're innocent until proven guilty.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 6: Well yeah, first time offenders, of course, in anybody innocent
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 6: to sorry, innocent until proven guilty. Let me start over.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 6: But if you have a proven track record that you
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 6: are a violent repeat offender, that you know you constantly
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 6: are doing these things, well you have different rights. I'm sorry,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 6: you don't have the same right because you've proven that
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 6: you cannot be a functioning member of society.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a component of typical bond discussions. You know,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: look at the record. Are they a recidivous defender. That's
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons you have a high bond in
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: the first place, and judges just ignore the reality of that,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: and look where we are. We get Holly beaten down
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: by a recidivous person. Holly, I am glad you're feeling better.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: You know what, I'm sorry that you had to be
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: the victim that brought this so much to people's attention,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: but your sacrifice may end up helping so many people.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: So keep up the great work. And I'll just add
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: my listeners in a request to pray for your improved
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: health and will wait for the passage of this bill.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: I have a strong belief that it will get through.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, hopefully sooner than later.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: Get in touch with the representatives, the officials, and most notably,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: we'll give props a DJing Swearingen for bringing this up. Holly,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time today and again,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: prayers for your good health. Hey's Brian Thomas, host to
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: the fifty five Carsity Morning Show. I'm the heels of
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: talking with Holly obviously the namesake behind Holly Act. I
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: want to bring to the fifty five KRSY Morning Show
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: and welcome and thank you Representative DJ Sweringen from Huron,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: who is the man behind Holly Act. Mister Sweringeon, thank
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: you for coming on the morning show today to talk
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: about this.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Brian really appreciated invitation and the ability to talk
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: about the bill well.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: A long standing problem here in Hamilton County anyway. I'm
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: not quite sure how things are in your region, but
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of woke judges who don't believe
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: in bonds. They think no bond are very very low bond.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: We have criminals with demonstrably recidivism in their blood. They
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: have many, many convictions for felonies, weapons, under disability, et cetera, etcetera.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: They're in front of a judge on yet another crime
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: and they've let them out, don't give them a really
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: low bond. And that's exactly what happened to the I
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: believe the individual who beat down Holly. You've introduced this
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: Holly Act and or at least as a concept, and
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: it's designed to deal with just this. And I think
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: the most effective thing that's in this is your brilliant
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: concept of allowing the attorney general to appeal what he
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: perceives or she perceives as a low bond. I think
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: that acts as a looming sort of threat to the
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: judge who might otherwise issue a low bond in the
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: first place, recognizing that someone can appeal the decision and
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: bring it to everyone's attention. Your reaction, Yeah, I think.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: Get the nail on the head, Brian. Really, the goal
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: here is accountability and transparency in our justice system. And
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: you know what we're seeing increasingly is a small number
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: of people just like you described, commit most of the
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: violent crime in our communities in Ohio. So we have
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: a bill that is tailored towards you repeat offenders, fellons,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: violent criminals. You know, we have a host of things
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: in the bill, requiring pre trial assessments for fellos or
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: violent crimes before setting bail, requiring pre trial assessments if
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: there's a hearing to consider no bail, because we have
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: circumstances in Ohio where a judge can say you don't
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: get any bail. You mentioned the appeal requirement. We have
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: some accountability where if a defendant skips out on court,
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: you know, two times in the last five years, they're
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: going to lose the ability to get a personal recognissance bond.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to pay twenty five percent of
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: their bond, which right now it's ten. You know, there
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: is showing up for court. It's not optional. You know,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: that's that's not how we're going to do this in
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. And then one of the other
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: points in there. That's really important. And my joint sponsor,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: Representable Array, made a great point to my press conference
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: is you have to show that you have the capability
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: to actually pay your bond right now. Some courts do
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: it very well. They have a sheet you have to
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: fill out include financial information, the ability to pay. Some
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: courts you just have to put your address down. And
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: Representative Loray on Wednesday made a great point he has
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: to fill out more information to get a library card.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: So we're taking this very seriously. You know, the debate's
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: going to get started when the hearings kick off. I
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: expect a robust debate on this issue and all the
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: interested parties system.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: There's yeah, and there should be a robust debate on
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: this because you know, the little libertarian I mean kind
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: of scratching my head over some of this. Like you mentioned,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: you have to show the ability to pay the bond.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: I understand that, but sometimes the judges, and I would say,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: perhaps the more woke judges, say well, this person is
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: indigen I can't impose a bond on them because that
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: just means they're gonna be stuck in jail. So what
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: is the retort to that inevitable argument?
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: You can.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: You have those considerations before the bond is set. So
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: when a judge looks at what type of bond they're
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: going to award, they look at a host of factors, right,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: They look at ability to pay, they look at flight risk,
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: they look at threat to the public safety, which is
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: debate we had twenty two. They take this big picture
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: and your right to say, you know, bond shouldn't just
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: be who can pay it?
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 5: That's not what this is about.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: This is about who is a danger to the community
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: to the victims, who's a repeat offender, who's a violent offense.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: We're looking at the really bad crimes here, the violent crimes.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: That's really what we want to go after, not we're
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: not looking at, you know, the lower offences. And the
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: judges are in great position to make these decisions. But
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: if you are hit with the bond that's fair based
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: off of all of those factors, you got to show
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: that you can pay it at the very least. So
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: and if you're indigent, the judge will considered that.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I have considered, and they always have a representative
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: d J sweringen from here on with the Holly Act,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: we're talking about now that allows me to pivot over
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: to one more element of this is the one that
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: I think maybe likely for a legal challenge. The ability
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: to pay the bond. That's the factor. But what about
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: entities like the bail Project which provide heaploads of money
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: and can come in Like I think I said to
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: Holly A White Knight to post the bail or the
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: bond for any given individual that I guess if they
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: consider some sort of charitable organization. But if the bail
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: projects they are standing with the money, then I guess
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: the defendant would have the ability to pay the bond.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: But your bill addresses that type of.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: Activity, Yes, it does.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: We put a limit on what charitable bail organizations can
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: provide a five thousand dollars. We've also said that they
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: cannot sail out any alleged defendants, the two with violent crimes.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: So we're putting some guardrails around the charitable bail. We
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: expect that the constitutional issues are going to be raised.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: We think we can prevail on those. This has been
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: done in other states. I think Kentucky passed a similar
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: law recently. So you know, look, we're going to have
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: the debate. Like I said, we're happy to and that's
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: how the process works in our country, and we're proud
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: of that. We do think we have the winning arguments
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: Well, ultimately, I hope you're right for the interest of
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: the community generally speaking into board events something like Holly,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: the issues with Holly happening again or maybe even worse
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: now finally without before we part company, you represented a
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: sware engine. Where is it in process? Is still being drafted?
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: You know, how close to being complete is it? And
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: I guess because my listeners are great about getting engaged
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: and doing calls to action and contacting their elected officials.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: So how far down the road are before we have
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: something finalized.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: We've introduced the bill. We introduced it Wednesday afternoon after
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: we had our press conference. The bill is still awaiting
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: a committee assignment. I think that will either happen today
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: or Tuesday, based off of the House procedural process, you know,
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: and then it'll get a signed to a committee, thinking
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: either the Public Safety Committee or the Judiciary Committee or
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: the most likely recipients of this build that that's up
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 2: to the House leadership.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: Well, considering that the leadership makeup in Ohio and I
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: know I'm always disappointed when I say this ultimately, but
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: giving the makeup politically, it just looks like it has
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: a good, uh good chance of passing. So Representative Swaragen,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: thank you for your efforts. I hope it does bear
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: fruit and uh we'll get my listeners on the horn
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: and get in touch with their elected officials to push
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: it through.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 3: He got it. Thanks Brian,
