  Speaker 1: Well, no better way to start a Monday morning with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Little Van Halen thanks to Joe Strucker, David Lee Roth
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and his in his heyday Joe, have you said any
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: video of David Lee Roth lately? Uh, David Lee Roth.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it would be a lot better
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: if he just would stop touring so people could remember
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: him as he was, because the shows he's doing now.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It was we were talking about my buddy Jim Serger, who,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, is doing a bike ride across the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: country and he's gonna raise money for Tunnel to Towers,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and he wrote the book about going to the Van
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Halen concert here in Cincinnati at the Gardens back end,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I want to say it was nineteen eighty two, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: so he was a huge fan, Halein fan. And I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: saw where David Lee Roth I think, was coming to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: play the casino and I said, you're going to go
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: see the David Lee Ross always said, I don't think so.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You want to remember things the way they were, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: way they were, Well, it's Dan Carroll and for Brian Thomas,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas taking the week off, I get to do Monday, Tuesday,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Wednesday this week and then it is it Gary Jeff
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday. Yep, Gary Jeff Thursday and Friday. So
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: always glad to be here at the fifty five k
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: RC studio, Always glad to be hanging out with Joe Strekker.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this, Joe on the way
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in that in this studio, I think more than any
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: other at this station, you're really cut off from the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: outside world. I mean you can't see outside. There's a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: six televisions in here, well five actually, couple of computers,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and I guess a computer is a window to the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: outside world. But you know what, can you You can't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: trust everything you see on the endnet. And then you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: know what I did today, Joe, I forgot my cell phone.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going through the regular routine of getting set up
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in here, and the one thing I always do is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: make sure I silenced my cell phone, and I went
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to grab it, and I don't have it this morning.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So if you're trying to call me or send me
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a text message, is going to be a little delay
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in me getting back to you because I'm pretty sure
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I know exactly where I left it or out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Joe doesn't have any windows to the outside world. They're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in the fifty five KRC Command Center. So that's what
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: we deal with here. But you know what we're here
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for you tons of stuff I want to talk about today.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Chris Smitheman will be here for the Smither vent. He
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is our only guest today, which is fine, which leaves
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: more room for your phone calls five one, three, seven hundred.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Chris Smitheman has requested an hour today and if Chris
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Smitheman wants something, he usually gets it here at fifty
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: five KRC, and Joe Strecker has granted him an hour
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and we will talk about things as if Chris Smitheman
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ever runs out of things to talk about. I'm looking
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: forward to that and that'll be in seven o'clock. Of course,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: always appointment listening when Chris Smitheman happens to be on.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: One of the things I'm sure we will touch on
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is crime in the city of Cincinnati. And I've talked
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: about this website before the Cincinnati Exchange, which is a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: relatively new website. I think, Joe correct me if I'm wrong.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't the Cincinnati Exchange start in November and December last year? Yeah?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Adam Taylor who's I'm sure he's been a guest on
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: this show many times. Uh, he is. And really, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Exchange is I think quickly becoming a website where
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you can go and get information and perspective about what's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: happening in Cincinnati that you will find nowhere else. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I really do mean that. And Adam Taylor has written
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a very thought provoking piece on crime in downtown Cincinnati
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and it's entitled is crime down in Cincinnati? Or have
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we simply stopped reporting? And maybe we should have Adam
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on the show on Wednesday or does he Does he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: have a regular spot yet on fifty five KRC Morning show. Yeah,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll talk to him on Wednesday. I know we've
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: got it. We've got a lot of guests lined up
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for tomorrow's show, so really don't have room. But I've
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: had Adam on my other show before and he's a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: great guest and just really it's one one thought provoking
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: piece after another. But he talks about, you know, the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: numbers may be accurate, the larger question is whether they
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: tell the entire story, and he just uh, it makes
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: makes total sense, especially in light of and again we'll
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: probably touch on this when Chris Smith the minis here.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: But I was reading the or listening to the lawyer
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for uh hold on, one second, hold on, I go, yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Sarah Herringer, that's what I'm that's I had. I had
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that piece right in front of me, and her name
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: escaped me for a moment. I was listening to the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: lawyer for Sarah Herringer and uh uh, of course she
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: issued the city for the wrongful death of her husband.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And her lawyer was on the Cunningham the other day
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and he was really making the case about how here
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati police used to be able to intervene and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: stop a lot of crime and arrest individuals who had
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: warrants and do these things before the serious crime happened.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And the case was pretty much made that police really
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: have abandoned the notion of pulling vehicles over for minor
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: traffic violations, asking questions, checking drivers' licenses and registrations. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it's amazing how many times when you do that you
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: find people who maybe have a worn out you find
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: evidence of crimes that have already happened. You find someone
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: carrying maybe a weapon under disability, or maybe has some
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: drugs on them. Things like that and those sort of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: things have really started to not happen anymore. So it
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: begs the question is crime really down in Cincinnati as
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the leadership would like to have us all believe, or
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: is it just being underreported? And I think that is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a that is a serious question for city council to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: take up. But what is the likelihood that the makeup
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of this city council will seek to deal with this
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in any sort of serious way. Well, I think we
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all know the answer to that. There's a budget meeting
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen today, and again, all this stuff
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is grounded. I'm sure we are likely to cover with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Chris Smithman. In case you have been paying attention in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles overnight, the the numbers have come in and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the l A mayor mayoral election race looks like it
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: may be of after all this time ABC seven in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I don't have time to play it right now,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but we'll play it how it sounded on ABC seven.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But the latest ballot dump has come in favor of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the second Actually, Nythia Raymond or Ramen, I guess that's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: how you say her name, And she was, of course
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: on election night, she was solidly in third place. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the vote dumps have been coming in and little by
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: little she has been creeping up on Spencer Pratt. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: last night she overtook Spencer Pratt. And so it looks
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like the machine has done what it is supposed to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: do in Los Angeles. Raise your hand if you didn't
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: see this coming? Did anyone I know in this audience.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Everyone in this audience certainly thought that was going to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: be the case. But Spencer Pratt has fallen into third
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: place behind Democrat City Councilwoman Nthia Rallman. In the Los
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Angeles mayorld primary. Karen Bass had already been projected to advance.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Ramen gained over nineteen thousand votes. In the latest dump,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Bass only got sixteen thousand. And here's the thing. When
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you look at the returns that were coming in on
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: election night, Karen Bass one with almost thirty five percent
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of the vote. So she was consistently getting thirty five
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: percent of the vote, another close to I think it
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was thirty percent. We're going for Spencer Pratt, and then
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: lesser amounts in the twenty the lower twenties, I believe
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: for nifted around Ramen. And then, of course, once the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: initial counting was done. Then we start counting the mail
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in ballots, the ones that come in days after the election,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Karen vass her percentage
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of votes on a regular basis goes down, and it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Ramen who was the one who's getting in some cases
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: forty forty two, forty three percent of each of these
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: batch of ballots that come in. And so they have
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: done it enough to where she is now in the leite,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and it does not look like that is going to change.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So I've got that cut from ABC seven last night
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: while you were sleeping. The ABC seven team out there
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles was on top of it. I'll let
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: you hear how it went down, but we got to
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: get to a quick break and do some weather and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and all the rest of that. So it's Dan Carroll
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and for Brian Thomas on this Monday morn fifty five
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: KRCV talk station Think for the next.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Chance to wing your way to our hype.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas on this Monday morning, June
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the eighth, I'm sorry, June the Yeah, June the eighth,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Joe I broke down over the weekend and turned the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: air conditioning on. It just got too hot. I mean
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it was we made it through Saturday, all right, but
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it just I think yesterday it got to be it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: was pushing ninety and so the air conditioning went on.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, last night, and look, every day the ballots
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: come in out and loss. We We've talked multiple times.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: President Trump talked about it, and I've got the cut
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: where he walked out on Kristen Welker if you haven't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: seen or heard that yet. But out in Los Angeles,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we knew, we knew the we knew the fix was
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in from the very beginning. And last night is when
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it happened. I think most of America was asleep. But
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, God bless those people. They're counting those
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: ballots on a Sunday, really working hard, being very diligent.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And here's how it sounded on ABC seven in Los Angeles. Joe,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: let's hear what cut is that cut? Number four?
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Please?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Race for La Mayor is narrowing by the day, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: things are changing as we speak.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: A new batch of vote was just counted and recorded.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the fight for second place is tight. It's gotten
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: even tighter between a city council member Nythia Ramen and
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: reality TV star Spencer Pratt. Just seconds ago, Ramen pulled ahead.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Let's take a walk over to the big board and
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: see where things stand. At this hour, the batch of
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: votes was about fifty thousand, so or Now at seven
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: hundred and twenty thousand votes, Nythia Ramen has jumped into
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: second pit place, passing the Republican Spencer Pratt. She came
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: into this day about seventy five hundred votes behind Spencer Pratt. Well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: she is now a bit out three thousand votes ahead,
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: one hundred ninety six thousand to one hundred ninety three thousand.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Karen Bass continues to stretch her lead out. She's almost
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: at thirty five percent total. Nithioraman now in the driver's
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: seat to make it to that November runoff. This is
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: where we stood on election night, these two were flipped.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Nithiorama is about forty thousand votes away. Here we are
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: on Sunday, and she has finally overtaken Spencer Pratt into
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: second place. If this holds, and we do expect it
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: to given the nature of the votes we've been seeing
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: in those final mail in ballots, this looks like it
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: will be your runoff in November, a Democrat versus a Democrat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Spencer Pratt has now been bumped. If somehow we see
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: a batch in the last couple of days of those
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: mail in ballots that are heavy on Spencer Pratt, he
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: could bump back ahead. It is not very much. It's
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: just a three thousand vote deficit at this point, but
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: given the trends we've been seeing since election Day, it
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: looks like this is going to be the matchup that
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: we'll see in November.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That guy's name is Jory Rand. He's one of the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: anchors at ABC seven there in Los Angeles. I love
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that part where he says, is somehow, if somehow we
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: see a group of ballots where Spencer Pratt has an
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: overwhelming majority, that there's no way that that is absolutely
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: one of the worst wagers you could possibly ever make. Joe,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: what's the name of those betting sites where they do that,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: where you can bet on the elections and stuff. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: would like to see what their odds are of poly
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: market or poly markets. I would like to see what
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: their odds are of Spencer Pratt being able to come back.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: At this point, it is over look I mean, God
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: bless them. Pratt ran one of the most entertaining campaigns.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I talked to a buddy of mine out there, Michael Munks,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: who used to work here in I used to work
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: with him at Fox nineteen at Cincinnati. He ran the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: River City News for a while in northern Kentucky. Then
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: he moved out to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and now he's on the iHeart station out there in LA.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: He's got his own show now, so he is rocking
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and rolling. And I was talking to him about Spencer Pratt.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I told her, I said, I was jealous, man, because
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the entertainment value of the race out there was so spectacular,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and he had Spencer Pratt on his show, and I
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: just just talked about how dynamic and interesting the guy was,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and he really thought he had a chance to win.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: But of course when the Democrat machine and I saw
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a piece. I saw a piece with a guy who
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: was walking around the vote counting center there in Los Angeles.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen pictures of this place
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: or video of this place. It looks like it is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a huge facility, and the guy's walking around, He's got
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: his camera and he's saying, Oh, Donald Trump. The doj
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: They need to come out here and see this. They
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: need to come out and see the transparency. How hard
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: these people are working. Look how diligent they are. There's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: no fraud going on here. The ballots come out of
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the box, they go in the machine, and YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Everything's great. And the thing is, no one is criticizing
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the people at the center where they count the ballance.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: No one has been critical of them and the work
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that they do. Where the criticism is, and rightly so,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is before those ballots get to the counting center. Where
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: are they coming from, Who's had control of those ballots?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: What's the chain of custody? Do we know any of
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that stuff? I don't think we do. And so it's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: great to walk around the center and look, I mean
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it looks like it's very orderly. Things looked. I mean
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: it's not a me maybe a little bit messy because
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: there's so much material being moved around. But that is
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: not where you know, they like to hold this up
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and say, oh, look you can come in here and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: look around, or there's no fraudulent activity happening here. Well,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's before the ballots get there is where the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: problem is, and everyone knew that this is what is
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: what was going to happen, and so it is just
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: completely beyond the bounds of credibility that you have one
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: candidate who's getting less than thirty percent of the vote
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in almost fifty percent of the election counting, because I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: think they were right around fifty percent after the initial
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: count and then all of a sudden she starts even
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: out drawing the other heavily favored Democrat candidate in order
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to get to the numbers where they are now. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: now that she's ahead, there's no way that that it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: coming back. So there you go. We knew it was
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: going to happen in Los Angeles, and if you missed it,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it happened while you were sleeping last night. Five twenty six,
• 18:12

• 19:13
  Speaker 3: and and hope you hope there's no more.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Well, Tom, I know you, I know your comments reflect
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the thoughts of the vast majority, if not all, of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the listeners to this great show.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, more more than likely. And I'm listening to you
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: talk about your situation this morning, and I'm in line,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm dry, I'm in a car, and I'm I'm
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: heading to a job site, and I'm in a line
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: and looking up at the job and I'm and i'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I'm I am so jealous of you. No one's going
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: to be able to bother you. I mean, you look
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: up at a call screen and you can decide whether
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: you want to take the call or not, but you
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: don't have your phone and it's just you and Joe
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: no windows. I'm like, man, that would be great. Well
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: a couple of days.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That that's all fine and dandy. But when I'm when
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'm in the studio, I at least like to have
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a TV on. I like to have on. Maybe I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: got CNN on one station, I got Fox News on
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the other station, or in the morning, I like to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: have a local station on because if something happens, at
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: least I've got a visual on it. Because if there's
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: if there's some some giant breaking news story, then I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: am at the mercy of whatever people post on the internet.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe you know, Joe tells me something in my ear.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I just you don't have that sort of immediate awareness
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of things that are happening. And that's when I'm especially
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: when I'm doing a radio talk show, I like to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: have that sort of awareness just and look. I mean,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not staring at the TV, but it's it's nice
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to be able to look to my left and see
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: if there's anything interesting happening or maybe something that I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: missed getting ready for the show. So it's and it's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: just a little bit and look, what what is? What
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: is this twenty twenty six? We've been we've been in
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the studios. How long we've been in these studios now,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Joe six to seven, since since La Louhan back in
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty and and all these TVs in here.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: It's it's just my way of thinking, it's beyond ridiculous
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that they're not hooked up to the system.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I understand what you're saying. And you do
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: you mentioned his name already. You do have the best
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: executive producer on radio making sure you're kept aware of
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: everything that's going on, so you got nothing to worry about.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And unlike those people at Los Angeles. Good lord, I mean,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: what what what's going on out there? I mean, it's
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: another batch came in. When was the election last Tuesday?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean it's really I mean, Tom, Tom,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: is there anyone who listens to this show who didn't
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: know that this is And here's the thing, the Los
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Angeles know all the Uh. I saw Rocanna on TV.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I've seen Gavin Newsom, I've seen Shift, I've seen all
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the all the California. Hey, look, we're we're just being
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: very deliberate. We're being very careful. There's no there's nothing
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: frauculent about it. But every time, every single time, when
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the ballots come in, it's always there's always a Republican
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: who's ahead, who always winds up getting squashed as they
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: keep counting another batch and another batch and another batch,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and then and then after the Democrat gets ahead, well, hey,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: we're what you know, we're done counting. It's it's all
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: over now, and our favorite Democrat is ahead. So that
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that's how we roll out here in California.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Absolutely great, it's great.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And then it never it never goes, it never goes
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the other way.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: I think I also speak for for most, off not all,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: of the listening audience of this show when I say,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: don't vote Democrat.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Have a great guy, Tom words to live by my friend.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. And we'll get to a break five
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: thirty five on this Monday morning. If you want to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: be like Tom, pick up the phone five one three, seven,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: five hundred on fifty five KRCV talk station. There's a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: new station. So we've had some Van Hale, and we've
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: had some heart, we've got some Black Sabbath Show Striker's
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: right at my wheelhouse this morning. I always appreciate that
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Dan Carrol for Brian Thomas, and one of my favorite
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: websites is American Thinker, and came across this piece as
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I was getting ready for the show today about Rush Limbaugh.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And if you're like me, you miss Rush. You miss
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: every day on this station. What was noon to three.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: It's hard to think of a time when Monday through
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Friday I wasn't turning to this station to hear Rush.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: And it's a great piece about how Rush was right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And it was written by Bradley Stephens and Bradley Writes.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: On April twenty of this year, one time liberal fire
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: brand Alan Dershwitz announced in a Wall Street Journal I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: bet he was leaving the Democrat Party and registering as
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a Republican. Discussing his decision on Newsmax with Greg Kelly,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Dershowitz said, I cannot be associated with the Democrats in
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: any way. I want to see them defeated. A longtime
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: listener of the late great Rush Limbaugh, I had to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: smile for thirty years. Limbaugh had said the same thing
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and been vilified for it. The reach across the aisle crowd,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: including Republican lawmakers and failed presidential nominees condemned him for
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: being divisive, but rush was adamant. These people cannot be
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: dealt with, cannot be compromised with. He told his radio
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: audiences for the umpty time on May seven, twenty eighteen,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: they have to be defeated. Dir Dirshwitz is only the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: latest and a growing number of commentators who knowingly are
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: not echoing L. Rushbo's most controversial statements. In the early
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: two thousands, America's anchorman was denounced for suggesting that critics
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of the Iraq War were actually rooting against American success
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: so they could gain political advantage. They not only wanted
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the war in Iraq to fail, they proclaimed it a failure.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Limbaugh told the audience that the Conservative Political Action Committee
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: meeting in February of two thousand and nine, there's ding
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Harry Reid waving a white flag. The war is lost.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: In April of twenty six, conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: said virtually the same thing about the critics of Iran.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Anything that looks unfortunate from the point of the American
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: success in Iran, they cling to. Hanson told the audience
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: on his podcast in April fourteenth, the Daily Signal. They
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: don't look like or they don't look at the war empirically,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: They look at it entirely in the political terms. In fact,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: people as the verse as Tom Friedman or Bill Crystal,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: if you call it what they have written, they almost
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: feel that anything that happens negatively in Iran might be
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: positive because it would hurt Donald Trump, and therefore that
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: would be in the long term interest. Forgetting that we
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: have one hundred thousand soldiers in theater risking their lives.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Hanson even went more direct, saying Donald Trump has to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: deal with an opposition who feels the war was a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: mistake or they're actually rooting in some cases for the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Iranians and so. And he goes on to make the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: point that all the things that Rush talked about back
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: in the day, so much of what he talked about
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: has come around and shown out to be absolutely true.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You know, he used to talk about how he was
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: on the cutting edge of societal evolution, as a phrase
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: he used to use all the time. And even though
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: some of the issues may have changed a little bit,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the universal truths of what he was saying then have
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: withstood the test of time. Let's see what else is.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: There was something that was another part in this piece.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he talked about. This is when he was
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: asked by the Wall Street Journal to write four hundred
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: words on what he hoped for the Barack Obama presidency.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: And if you listen to Rush, you know exactly what
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: he said here. Limbaugh said, I don't need four hundred words.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I need four I hope he fails. He went on
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: to explain, I've been listening to Barack Obama for a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: year and a half. I know what his politics are,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I know what his plans are as he has stated them.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want them to succeed. Liberalism is our problem.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Liberalism is what has gotten us dangerously close to the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: precipice here. Why do I want more of that? And
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I think we have had a lot more of that
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: from the time that Rushed departed this world up until now,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and I think we continue to get more of that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And of course there are so many Republicans who are
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: not helping in this cause. There was a vote late
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: last week on Thursday night where the Senate rejected again
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the Save America Act as part of a reconciliation package.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: The amendment needed sixty votes to pass, but the vote
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that went down showed that Republicans are not likely to
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: pass the Save America Act even if the filibuster was nuked.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Four Republicans who voted against it Murkowski, Tillis, Collins, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. Isn't that great? Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Tom Tillis,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and Mitch McConnell said no to the Save America Act.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And then I had another piece in here where Tommy
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Tuberville was talking about how I think Tuberville is one
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of the more interesting Republicans that we have out there.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: He's not afraid, he's not afraid to mix it up
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and say exactly what he feels. And only if we
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: had more guys like that. Five for five on fifty
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: five KRC the Toxtics.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Control of your food with harvest dright, a home freeze
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: dryer lets you preserve the meals your family alten.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: By fifty On this Monday morning, Dan Carroll for Brian
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Thomas Scott Pelley did a sit down interview with The
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: New York Times. Does anyone really care about that? You
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: know this guy is so full of himself. Hey, he
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: sat there and talked about how he went to war.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: He was in communiaty, never wore the uniform, but because
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: he during the course of his career went to a
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: few combat And look, I do not discount the idea
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: that is a reporter, you go to a combat zone,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: you put yourself in danger. That's all true. But to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: sit there and do the self aggrandizement the way he
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was doing, I mean, he really is just as pompous
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: as you can be. And I guess he's still putting
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: on this charade that he, I don't know, was somehow
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: an honest broker of the news and just beyond ridiculous.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. My buddy Curtis Hawk from NewsBusters
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: drew the assignment of breaking down the Scott Pelly interview.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll think about this for a day
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: or two. Maybe maybe I'll see if Curtis wants to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: come on this show Friday and talk about that. About this.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, the other interesting part of what
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: happened in the media happened. It happened on Friday, I think,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: And why was that I was playing golf on Sunday.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I did not watch the Sunday shows I'll be honest,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I usually do when I'm going to do this show.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: But I had a tea time on Sunday, and I
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: get back and I start getting ready for the show,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and I see the video, so I know this was
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: recorded on Friday when Trump was in Wisconsin and Kristin
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Welker of NBC News. You'll hear her at the end
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: of this. She talks about, I traveled all the way
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: though Wisconsin. As if Joe that's a I guess that's
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a pretty big stretch. Wait, what does she out of
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: New York to fly all the way from New York
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to Wisconsin. What a journey? Ah My, what what a stretch?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe flew on a private jet for all I know.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sure she didn't fly. I'm sure she didn't fly
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: coaching and have all the regular troubles that you go
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: through when you travel. But she went to Wisconsin. Trump
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: granted her to sit down interview. He was he gave
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: a speech to the farming community up there in in
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, and I guess he was in the Milwaukee area,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: but he sat down with Kristin Welker and and you'll
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: hear some sound in the background that's because it was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: just pouring down rain and they were in a barn
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: where what looks like a barn, and the and the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: rain was pelting the roof. And they went on for
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a while and she just throughout all the typical liberal
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: talking points and then at the end he had just
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: got fed up with it all and he did this.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: And this is what people have been talking about all weekend. Joe,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Let's hear cut number one evidence than ever presented.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: Let's talk to your elections.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: In this country were like a third world country. Your
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: elections are crooked, and your crooked, and mister presses crooked.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: And show is ABC and CBS and CNN, the one
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: sided crooked network. So let's call it quits because I've
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: had enough. Thank you, darling, have you goodness the president?
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Let's please.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I've i know, on and off in the rain, and
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I've given you enough time. You want to straighten out
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: your press because you know what, mister, country can never
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: be great travel.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: We traveled all the way to Wisconsin for the cynical.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I traveled all the way to Wisconsin. Has such a hardship,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Poor Kristen Welker, He was he was already there for
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: an hour. Is there is there any president that you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: can think of who grants more interviews, and not just
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: to friendly media. I mean he look, he's on Newsmax,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: he's on One America's Voice, he's on Fox News. Does
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: all the interviews with I mean, he did one with
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord Well, I don't know, don't know how much
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: of a stretch it was for Laura Trump, but he
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: does it with all the and and here's the thing.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: You know, they record these interviews maybe a day or
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: so ahead of time, get him ready for air, but
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: by the time they air, he's already made so much
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: more news that and I'm not saying what he's saying
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: these interviews is irrelevant, but there's there's really more important issues.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: So he even keeps ahead of himself. He because he
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: is so available to the press all the time, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: he's making news every single day. But he spent an
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: hour with her, and she's can be absolutely insufferable. And
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: so finally he said I've had enough and that was
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the end of that. And you could hear the rain
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: just pounding the roof of the thing over in Wisconsin.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Sorry about your luck. Five fifty five on fifty five KRC,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: he talks Theas America.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Ages Gentlemen the Veto.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: At fifty five KRC he talks Station six oh six
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: on this Monday morning, Dan Carrol for Brian Thomas. Whenever
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I'm here, Joe is always rolling up the Van Halen
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: at the top of the hour, which is just fine
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: with me. Five one, three, seven, five hundred if you
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: want to get on board. I'm here Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Then Gary Jeff is in on Thursday and Friday. So
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a big week as Brian takes
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: a little time off and uh, Joe, is that right?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Just kiss? Chemo treatments have wrapped up. Last round, last
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: round is happening, so wishing him all the best. What
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: is going on? What is going on so much? They
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: usually when I am getting ready for these shows, I
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: take you know, I'm looking up things and I'm doing
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: my research finding things I want to talk about. And
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't do it this time around,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: but I usually sort of put everything in a group.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I'd like you find I don't know, four five, three,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: four or five stories that are sort of related to
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: each other. I kind of group those together, and then
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I do that, you know, some some other topics. I
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: didn't do that this time around. So I've gotten my list.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I've got my list of stuff, as Rush used to
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: call it, a stack of stuff, because everything was printed
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: out back in the day. I still kind of I still,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: you know, Joe, I still kind of wish I was
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: doing that printing everything out, have everything on paper, so
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: it's all right there, because it's a lot easier when
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: you have it on paper right in front of you.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And then but now I scroll up and down my
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I've got my list here on the things I want
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to talk about on the computer, and so I scroll
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: up and so I've got like some things down here
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the list that I want to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: talk about, and some of the things up at the
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: talk top of the list I want to talk about.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: And so it's just kind of I'm just kind of
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I'm scattered today, I'm scatterbrain. Maybe I'll maybe I'll be
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a little more organized tomorrow. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: But apparently Ocasio Cortes has not in and thank god
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: for this, Okazio Cortez has not yet ruled out a
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: presidential run Joe. I know you are waiting to get
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: an update on that. Apparently someone asked her over the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: weekend if she still she's you know, has ruled out
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, and she has not ruled it out.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: She's being, you know, showing some craftiness beyond her years.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: That here's what she said. She said, could I be president?
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Could I not be president? Maybe? Maybe not? Wow, I'll
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: tell you what. That just sends the mind soary with
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: that sort of rhetoric, so Ocasio Cortes. I guess she.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I guess in some part of her mind she considers
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: herself to be a contender. I don't mean because and
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: why not A lot of people keep telling her that.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I guess she thinks since people keep asking me this
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: question about whether or not I will run for president,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I guess just based on that, I guess she considers
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: her self qualified to become president of the United States.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't there a time in this country
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: when people looked at that sort of thing and just
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: took themselves out of the running. And I don't mean
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: in a negative way. I mean just president of the
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: United States. Sorry, that's not me. I really I don't
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: have any business being president. I think there's I think
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: there's a certain group of individuals who do that simply
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: because they don't want to take the pay cut. People
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: who are just making so much money that it's not
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: it's not worth their time or effort, which I think
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: is is one of the things that when you look
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: at Trump, that he doesn't he doesn't need this, he
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't need the aggravation, doesn't need all the people and
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: all the law. And I've got a great piece on
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: on all the law fair, and I'm probably going to
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: talk about that in the next segment. And uh, it
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: really it's I and I like I like pieces that
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: are written to where there there's Look, when it comes
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to the lawfair, there have been so many things that
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: have happened to Trump since before the election, since the
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: election has has come around, and all these things have failed.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: And so now that those who were engaged in all
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the phoniness of trying to get him in some sort
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: of jackpot, now that those people, many of them, not
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: all of them, but a lot of them are getting
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: their come up, and well, that's it. It's just political.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's just politics. It's just Trump seeking retribution against
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: his political enemies, and of course they're saying that in
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: this case involving John Bolton, and so the media has
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: been out there trying to make the case that since
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Bolton pleaded guilty, well, it's just it's just another example
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: of Trump's retribution coming back. He pleaded guilty, He pleaded,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: he pleaded guilty. ABC World News Tonight Nightly an NBC
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Nightly News, they framed the news of the former National
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: security advisor John Bolton is guilty plea on charges related
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: to mishandling classified documents as an example of Trump's successful
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: legal retribution against President trump perceived enemies. NBC News failed
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: to mention how the investigation into Bolton began under the
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Biden administration. When the Biden administration was in control of
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the Justice Department. David Muir called Bolton one of Trump's
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: harshest critics before he turned it over to Pierre Thomas, who,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: of course claimed retribution. He was a prime target to
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: President Trump's retribution campaign, and tonight, sources tell ABC News
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: former National security Advisor John Bolton is planning to plead
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: guilty to mishandling classified information. He is pleading guilty. So
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: when it comes to anyone who is opposed to Trump,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: if they run a foul of the law while they're
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: doing that, well we're just supposed to leave them alone.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to leave them be. When it came to
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Trump and having the documents at mar A Lago, which
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I think you can still make the argument that he
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: was perfectly entitled to have those documents in his possession.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: What was the argument that what were we lectured to about? Then, well,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: this is a national security this is this is very
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: dangerous for the country. This is it's unpresident. We can't
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: allow a former president to have control of these documents. Well,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: those arguments are completely wrong. When it comes to Bolton,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: he is going to plead guilty. But yet somehow this
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: is political retribution, I guess somehow, if he wasn't supposed
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to be investigated, he wasn't supposed to answer for anything
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: that he did wrong. And of course that's the way
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: the national news presents this kind of stuff, and they
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: wonder why every poll everything. And that was one of
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the things that Scott Pelly talked about when Barry Weiss
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: came in that she she said, look, we've got to
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: change the way we do things, you know, people are
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: losing confidence. I mean, there has been poll after poll
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: after poll that shows people losing confidence in network newscasts
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: because of the bias, because of the terrible job that
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: they do reporting. Every once in a while, and I
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: and look at when it happens, I give him credit.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while they do something that is
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a genuine act of journalist. They do something that is
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: worth of getting credit for. So it shows they have
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the ability to do it, but they just simply choose
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: not to do it. And the American people have caught
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: on to him, and Scott Pelley was like, well, she
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: didn't show us any polling information backed up these claims. Well,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: it happens on a dale. All you got to do
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: is open your eyes to it. But of course he's
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: gonna go out there and still singing that same tune. Yeah.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Political Retribution six sixteen. You got to get to a break.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas fifty five KRC, The Talk.

  Speaker 1: The pub meantime, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas five one, three, seven, four,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred everything you know, And I love
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: pieces that are essentially one stop shopping when you talk
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: about all the things that have sort of gone on
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that and it's hard to remember everything, especially with this
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: administration and the way the news cycle has been, and
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about ever since Trump came down the escalator.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: There is just so much that goes on, and if
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: even if you follow it on a regular basis, it's
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: just hard to remember everything and just how outrageous things
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: have gotten. And so every once in a while, a
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: piece like this comes around along, written by John Green,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: talking about and reminding us of just how bad it's
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: been and all the lawfare against Trump. And he starts
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: off writing about James Comy. Comy indicted for posting eighty
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: six forty seven. The DOJ has opened an investigation to E. G.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: And Carroll for lying under oath about the financial backing
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: of her lawsuit. Again Trump, as the DOJ implemented rulely
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Giuliani's broken windows strategy? Is it something much bigger? The
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: radicals are reacting predictably. They stopped screaming no one is
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: above the law. Now the lefties are howling that Trump
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: is wasting federal resources on personal vendettas, while we're they're
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: hoping that we don't remember Merrick Garland or Jack Smith.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: In spite of their protestations, the investigations noted above are
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: vitally important. A subversive conspiracy has been underway for a decade,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: with the objective to undermine our constitutional right to choose
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: our leadership. Comy and Carol Carol by the way, no relation.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Comy and Carroll infractions are just the tip of the iceberg.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: The conspiracy began when Trump announced its candidacy in twenty fifteen.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: An outsider could be allowed to jeopardize the DC gravy train,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: so deep state conspirators, the FBI and the DOJ participated
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: in the Russian collusion hoax. It was an attempt to
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: derail the Trump juggernaut by surveilling his campaign and casting
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: suspicion upon him prior to the election. Trump was elected anyway.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: After Trump's first election, the conspirators attempted to overturn our
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: electoral choice. Launched a Special Council investigation engineered by Comy
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: on a fraudulent predicate. Congress piled on with two impeachment
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: attempts based on nothing more than rumors in innuendo. When
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: the pandemic hit in twenty twenty had opened a universe
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: of tactical options for the conspirators. They managed to drag
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: he calls him Joey Soft Serve Joe Biden across the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: finish line with a combination of deception, propaganda, censorship, illegal
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: election changes, and mail in ballot sananigans, but left in
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: stop with stealing the presidents Trump was threatening to run again,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: so the conspiracy continued. Now this is where he gets
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: into all the stuff that has happened over these years.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: They tried to bankrupt Trump with civil lawsuits in New
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: York City. E Gene Carroll's was financed by Oligark reied
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Hoffman and enabled by a just for Donald charge of
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the law by the Empire State's legislature. She won over
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: eighty eight million. Now she is under investigation for committing
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: perjury during the legal process. New York State Attorney General
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Letitia James managed to win almost a half million bucks
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: from Trump on a mortgage fraud case that had no victims.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: That judgment has been set aside by an appeals court,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and now Big Tish is under investigation for lying on
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: her own mortgage application. Left also tried to imprison Trump
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: with criminal indictments in New York, Florida, Georgia, and DC.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: The prosecutor in the New York case convinced a judge
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: and a jury that an accounting disagreement could be turned
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: into a felony. That case has been discharged by the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: judge i e. No penalty, and it's currently being appealed.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: The Florida case was for retention of classified documents and
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: involved the first ever FBI raid of an ex president's home.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: That case has been dismissed by a federal judge because
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: special counsel Jack Smith was never legally appointed. The Georgia case,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: spearheaded by Fanny Willis, actually got Trump in front of
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: a camera for a mugshot, which he currently uses as
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: his presidential portrait. Fanny claimed that Trump had interfered with
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: the election. The case has been dropped because there's nothing
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: illegal about using a legal process to demand redress. Now
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Fanny is under investigation for her own improprieties. In DC,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith indicted Trump for election interference for telling supporters
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to peacefully protest a protest the certification of the election.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: That case has subsequently been dropped and Jack Smith is
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: being investigated for violations of the Hatch Act. The radicals
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: even tried to assassinate Trump three times, wounding him and
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: killing an innocent man in the first attempt. None of
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: that prevented Trump's return to the office oval office because
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: he didn't give up on us. We didn't give up
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: on him for nine years. The left is struck at
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: our president, but failed to fail him. Now the left
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: is being introduced to the consequences of its failure. The
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: left is outraged by that Trump is seeking retribution. Retribution
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: is a key component of the crime punishment equation. The
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: punishment must be served or severe enough to deter future crimes.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: That the left continues to attack our right of self
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: governance proves that the punishment has not reached adequate severity.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Yet the left insists the DOJ is not Donald Trump's
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: tool to use against his enemies. We know that Merrick
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Garland isn't the attorney general anymore. The Trump DOJ is
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: actually going after our enemies, those who attacked our constitutional republic.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: The left attacked our institutions of law and order and
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: must be held accountable or there will be no law
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: in order. And it goes on and on and on.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: But when you talk about James Comy, John Brennan, James Clapper,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Lea Tea, James Fanny Willis, Jack Smith, Peter Struck, Lisa Page,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: all these people need to be held accountable for their crimes.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: We simply, as he mentions that the left wants to
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: erase that part of the equation, just let them do
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: whatever they want, no consequences. We didn't get Trump this time,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: we'll try something else. Doesn't matter what laws you break.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: But now that they're getting their comeuppance, of course, that's
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: when the problems come in. Late for a break here
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the Talk station.
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: Are you tired of that cracked, dull concrete floor dragging
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: down your garage basement?
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Patty or ekerosee the Talk Station? Six thirty one, Dan
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Carroll for Brian Thomas. I was talking about Tommy Tuberville
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: earlier after the Senate failed again to pass the Save
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: America Act thanks in part to Mitch McConnell and for
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: three other Republicans who for whatever unknown reason will not
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: vote for this, Tuberbille said quote, I was not for
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: busting the filibuster a few years ago, but I saw
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: what I saw the Democrats were doing, and so they
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: didn't pass it. But let me tell you something. We
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: know for a fact one hundred percent they will bust
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the filibuster the first day they take control of the
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Senate in the near future if we don't pass the
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. And this is probably in my lifetime,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the dumbest thing that I've ever seen on the part
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: of Republican I guess leadership in Washington, d C. It's
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: so overwhelmingly popular with the American people, is the Save Act.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: But yet they won't do it. They got this guy
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: in Maine, Grand Platner, all the youthful indiscretions that have
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: been coming out against him, even though he was in
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: his late thirties, all the women that talked to I
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: guess they did the interviews in the New York Times
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: and the Wall Street Journal. I don't know if anything
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: new came out over the weekend. I guess I haven't.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything but one of the more and
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk a little bit more about Fetterman
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: here in a moment. But when it comes to and
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: look I know there's a a group of individuals out
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: there who look at Fetterman and they say, we ought
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: to bring this guy into the Republican Party. No, we
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: cannot go there. This guy is who he still is.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Although when it comes to a Democrat who can look
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: at a situation, see what is plainly obvious, and then
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: simply state the obvious, there's no one who doesn't like Fetterman,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: and he does it in an entertaining way. And he
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: was on with CNN talking about Platner in Maine and
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: if this is probably probably my favorite cut of the morning,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: John Fetterman, Joe, let's your cut number two.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: You know he's lied to America, to my colleagues in
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: the Senate just later this week for now trying to
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: pretend that none of those things aren't true. But that's
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: exactly where we are.
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: Okay, here's my theory.
• 56:14
  Speaker 10: My theory is that with each of these revelations with
• 56:18
  Speaker 10: your Democratic colleagues, it actually enhances his stature in this
• 56:22
  Speaker 10: strange way because they, for lack of a better descriptor,
• 56:25
  Speaker 10: they want a junkyard dog. They want a street fighter
• 56:30
  Speaker 10: who's willing to knee President Trump in the groin. If
• 56:33
  Speaker 10: given the choice, and that's given the option, and that's
• 56:37
  Speaker 10: the way, and that's the way he presents himself.
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: Now, now, being a dirt bag is not authentic. You know,
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: being a dirt bag is being a dirt bag?
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Joe, How great is that cut? How great is being
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: a dirt bag? Is not authentic? Yeah, you could cut
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: it off that, You could cut that last part you
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: set to describe any number of individuals that we talk
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: about on this show. A trt bag is being a
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: turt bag. So when it comes to entertainment value, John
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Fetterman is very close. I don't know if he's at
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: the top, but he is very close to being at
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the top. And that one right there is one of
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the absolute best. He just shuts this guy down, and
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: I'll give you my thoughts on the Wall Street journal
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: piece and all that stuff. We got to get to
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: a quick break here, but John Fetterman, we need more
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: stuff like that on fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: Being prepared is everything, but pre claiming our own final
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: arrangements isn't usually high on our list.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: City Talk Station fifty five KRCD Talk Station sixty And
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: that cut we just heard from Fetterman. It was fantastic.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: That was Smirkhanish of CNN that he was talking with
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: there and and I and I loved it because he
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: just shot down this whole notion they want a junkyard dog,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: they want a guy that can kick Trump and the groin. Yeah,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: and Fetterman just dismisses that nonsense completely out of hand,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: being out he's a dirtbag, you know, being a dirt back.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not authentic. And so and smir Connage,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: they always put that guy out there is oh unparalleled
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: political analysis. So they again, CNN just such a disservice
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: when they claim to be fair evaluators of a political situation.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: So you got Platner, who's got to defend himself now
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: against you know, the bad behavior, the way he treated women,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: the uh, as a Fetterman put it the other day,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: sending dick picks out to young people, I guess on
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: these these hookup apps and all the rest of that.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: And so I look at this, and the pieces were
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: written with these women who I guess were knew him
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: earlier and said that he was just I guess, I'm
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: not a good guy. And so the Wall Street Journal
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: in the New York Times ran this and based on
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: one of the women who gave an interview, she said
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't even print the most serious stuff that she
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: talked about, and so she's upset that they sort of
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: went easy on Platiner. I guess according to her. So
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I look at this, and I was thinking, why did
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: these pieces come out?
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Of course it's look, it's all controlled by the Democrat money,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, the money machine, the people who make
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: things happen. And so I look at this and these pieces,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: these were multipurpose pieces, and I'll tell you what I mean.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: So on on one hand, I think these pieces were
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: done to serve as an innoculation for Platiner. So if
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, something new comes out, something additional comes
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: out to what these women had to say, evidence that
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: coroborates this, evidence that, whatever the case may be, something
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: additional comes out related to the specific things that were
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: talked about in the Wall Street Journal and the New
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: York Times pieces. It serves as an inoculation. Why, because
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you know what the Democrats will do. These things will
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: come out, people will point the fingers, make the accusations,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: and then they'll say, well, this is old news. This
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: is nothing more than political shenanigans. We've heard all this before.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to see here, move on. So that's I
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: think one purpose of this piece. So if something even
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: more substantive comes out, they can say it's old news,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: nothing to see here, beating a dead horse political politics.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: All the rest. I think. The other thing is the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: purpose that this serves is that Platner is unnotice with
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. That and again they can use all
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: this for their purposes as they see fit. They can say,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: look what we did to Swallow as well. Out in California,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: he for whatever reason, ran a foul of the Democrat Party,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: fell out of favor with them. It looked like he
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: might lose, and so they drop the hammer on him.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: They can do the same to this guy in an instant,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: and should he fall out of favor with whoever is
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: in control of the Democrat Party, then they will bring
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: this to bear. This will be a cudgel that they
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: will use to beat him about the head and shoulders.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: He's got this hanging over his head, so it serves
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: that purpose as well. So even though you've got Corey Booker,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: you've got Rocanna, you've got you know, you name the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Democrat Representative Susan Collins, well not Susan Collins, but the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: other Democrats, Chris Murphy, all these others who are out
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: there defend still defending this guy. So they've got to
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: acknowledge on one hand, yeah, he's got these problems, but
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: he's still the best candidate. So that can that can change,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: and they can use that to bring him down and
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: shut him down and remove him from the field to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: play if need be. So I think there are multiple
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: purposes to the peace and the information that came out
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: about these women who are accusing him of just doing
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: these horrible things, and so we will see how that play.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: He's out if he for whatever reason, even if it
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: looks like if it looks like he's going to lose,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: and they can find another candidate to get in there
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: and take his place, they will do that. So make
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: no mistake, they're acting right now as if he is
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: the best candidate, he's the best guy for the job.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: That nothing could be further from the truth. No, he's
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: a guy who can win, who can accrue more power
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: to the Democrats. That's the only purpose he serves. And
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: if they get the notion that he cannot serve this purpose, well,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: then he will be gone and they've set the predicate
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: for that, or the precursor is there. So either one
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: they can use it as an inoculation or the other
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: option is they can use it to bring the hammer
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: down on them. And that's why that piece came out.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: When it did.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Six forty six fifty five KRCV talks Performance Matters in
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: intimate Moments, don't let Edie ruin fifty five KRCD Talk Station,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. Chris Smitheman coming up at
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour. He wanted a whole hour today,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: So Chris Smitheman is going to be here from seven
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: till eight, and I wonder what he's going to talk about.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: I think we have a little bit of a clue.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: But of course when it comes to Smithman, it is
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: definitely appointment Radio, and so I see good for him.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: The Texas Rangers have made an important decision that they
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: are not going to be hosting any pro LGBTQ events
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: this month, even though it is Pride month. They are
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: skipping Pride Night again. I guess this is not the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: first time they've done this and instead they will have
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: have a Faith and Family Night on June eighteenth. The
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Rangers appear to be the only Major League Baseball team
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: with the courage to buck the gay pride trend, as
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: they are the lone club to refuse to post any
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: pro LGBTQ content as of now. The team further decided
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: they would stand on the side of Christians and have
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: opted to host a family and Faith Night on October eighteen.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: October but, June eighteenth, join us for a special afternoon
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: of community connection and celebration. Tickets purchase through this offer
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: include exclusive experience featuring personal testimonies from Rangers players sharing
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: So I say, good for good for the Texas Rangers,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: and they're going to they're going to be just fine.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: You don't You don't always have to go along with
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: the crowd on these sorts of things. So the Texas
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Rangers doing doing what they think is right, and isn't
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: that refreshing? I did not know that this was still
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: a thing when it when it comes to wind farms offshore,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: but the New England Fishermen's Stewardship Association the n e
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: F s A, as it is commonly known of Joe.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Are you familiar with the n e F s A.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: He gets their newsletter. The president of the n e
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: F s A, Aaron Williams, told uh Center of Square
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: that his organization's campaign is intended to bring attention to
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: the growing concerns many commercial fishermen, seafood producers, and coastal
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: communities have regarding the rapid expansion of offshore wind development
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: in productive fishing grounds. I thought most of those had
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: come to an end. I know I have talked about
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: this many times in the past. How a lot of
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: these offshore wind developments, you get the giant windmills out there,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: and they mess with marine life. The whales run aground,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: they get confused. The windmills out there are subject to
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: really the brutal conditions out there in the ocean when
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: it comes to the constant motion, the salt, the sea spray,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: the corrosive environment that is out there with the windmills
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: just they just I think the average life of a
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: windmill is I think about fifteen years out there in
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: the ocean. They're more like three to five, maybe seven
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: years at the best, and so they just don't last.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: But apparently this is still a thing. This n e FSA,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: the New England Fishermen Stewardship Association, is going to be
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: in DC this week. They've got mobile billboards. They're going
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: to be lobbying policymakers trying to warn people about large
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: scale industrial development in the oceans they say are impacting
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: maritime ecosystems. They are leading to higher operational costs for
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: fishing activity and threatening America's domestic seafood supply. So I
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: didn't know that was still a thing, but apparently it
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: still is, because I thought most of those things had
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: collapsed under their own weight and the return on investment
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: has been shown just to not be there. So we'll
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: see what happens with that. But apparently they're in DC
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: this week letting people know all about it. Six fifty
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: five we got to get to a break news coming
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: up top of the hour, and then Chris Smitheman will
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: be here for the Smither event following this. It is
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the talk station at.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: The top of the hour. Here the top story.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the talk station, Dan Carolin for Brian Thomas.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas taking the week off, I get to be
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: here today and Tomorrow and Wednesday, and then Gary Jeff
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: will close out the week on Thursday and Friday. And
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: of course Joe Strecker is running the big board as
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: he always does in the fifty five KRC Command Center.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: We went all the work behind the scenes, and this
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: show wouldn't be around without Joe's kirker, so we always
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: appreciate him. And on Monday morning comes around on fifty
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: five KRC, right around this time in the morning, it's
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: always a great time to Actually, I think we're a
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: little bit ahead of time because Chris Smithman has requested
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: an hour this morning for the Smither vent, So I
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: guess he's got a lot to get off of his
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: chest this morning. And Chris Smithman, it's great to talk
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: to you again. How you doing, buddy?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Hey Dan, he look and we talked sometimes during the week.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we do.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: That is a fact, that's a fact. I mean, I
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: think we all have a lot to get off our
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: chest after a weekend, like we just like we just
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: came out of.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: The bullets were flying this weekend.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: The bullets were flying and you called it.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Called you called this, Uh. I think the last time
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: we talked was probably about three four weeks ago, and
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: you told me that this was going to happen.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: It's like the weather warms up. It's the fixed storm.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: You know. City council doesn't have a real plan to respond,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: and it just voting five five shootings, you know, you know,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: and we start talking about shootings around Edy Park as
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: an example. You know, it's like almost like the mayor,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: the city, even even people in our neighborhoods are just
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: numb to it. Like it's it is very unusual to say,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: hey man, somebody, somebody got shot. You know, four people
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: got shot in Avondale, you know, and and it just happened.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like if this isn't normal to wake
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: up and see this level of violence over one weekend.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: And then when you add Dan Carroll to what we
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: saw in Columbus around Bexley, the team Takeover that happened
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: at that festival, and you add the twelve shot in
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Toledo at that other event. Right, So you're seeing a trend.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: We live in Cincinnati, you see what's happening in Toledo,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: you see what's happening in Columbus. What makes you think
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: is not going to happen here, like we are moving
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: in the direction. It's so unfortunate for me to say this,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Like I feel like we're turning into that baby Detroit,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: you know where violence is just you know around us,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: and and the mayor and the and the council and
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: the city manager are just sitting around watching the bloodshed
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: while they paint a mural on the front of city
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Hall that says black lives matter. Now, those two things
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: are very disconnected. If you say I can get shot
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: and be a black mail and die in the street,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not in I'm not in Iran. I'm right in
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: the in the heart of Avondale, or I'm in walnt Hills.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: I can get shot like in a war and bleed
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: out in the street right on Gilbert, right on Road.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: But you have a mural in front of city Hall
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: that says black lives matter. I'm suggesting to our neighborhood, neighborhoods,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: our fifty two neighborhoods, that city hall does not care
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: about black lives matter. If you did, you'd say, man,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: our first line of defense are police, not a library card.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: Like the juvenile court judge suggested this week, Let's get
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: library cards for all of the baby. Maybe she hasn't
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: looked at the library, but the police are having a
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: lot of runs there, and people are very concerned about
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: being safe inside the library and outside of the library.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: I just don't get these silly responses that they think
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: take the point of having good policing. Our first line
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: of defense is law enforcement, and Cincinnati has surrendered our
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: city to criminals. The criminals are protected, but we, the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: law abiding citizens, have to walk around unarmed because they
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: tell us in this democratic city, guns are bad. Don't
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: have a gun. The guns are the things that are
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: killing everybody. And those people out here who say, man,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: I've got to carry a firearm because I might just
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: be walking to my car somebody might decide to jump me.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: Somebody might just decide to try to steal my car
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: and carjack me. I'm just saying, Dan Carroll, when the
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: mayor says today, as he says all weekend, everything is
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: a o K, I'm suggesting to you that it is not.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: Dan Carroll.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Chris Minneman, you bring up so many points and so
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: many points I want to explore, and one is the library.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: And I give credit to Local twelve that put a
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: piece up by Well, they actually did this back in May,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: and they talked about the end science of violence. At
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati's main library downtown so frequent that police report they
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: are averaging a call for service more than once a day.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: And this is just the main branch downtown. And so
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: you couple this with a juvenile court judge Carrie Bloom
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: who says, you know, we want to I guess, I
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: guess straighten out juvenile delinquents or juveniles who commit crime
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: by making them do what get library cards. So we've
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: already got so many people who are employees who talk
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: to Local twelve didn't want to give their names because
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: what because they're afraid of what chrismith. They're afraid of retribution.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: They're afraid that this is going to come back and
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: haunt them if people know that they're being called out.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: And so we have a judge who is going to
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: look at criminals and instead of give them a harsh
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: sentence or have them learn a lesson about what they did.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Now here, go get your library card, go and get
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: a book, and give me.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: A book report.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, these things don't happen in a vacuum. And
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: now you know we've got that, and so we've got
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: reports that the violence is up at the libraries. It
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: seems to me we might be able to connect some
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: dots there.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Now, Dan Carroll, before we take our break, I just
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: want to let your listening audience know you're not exaggerating
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: like I wish you were, Like just making a joke
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: like stand up comedy. Literally, the juvenile court judge said
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: her response to the crime is when they come to
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: her court, she's going to require that they get a
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: library card. I mean, that's what she's saying.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: I've got to here's the quote right here. Wants it
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: to be a summer of discovery. The goal is to
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: get kids connected with positive people and institutions in the community. Now,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: make no mistake, there are a lot of positive things
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: that are associated with the library, very positive for the community,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: positive people there. But instead, do you think these a
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: lot of these individuals that commit from on a regular
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: basis are interested in positivity or connecting with positive people
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: in a productive way.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. And what her number one job should be
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: as a juvenile court judge is to hold those youth
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: accountable for their behavior. That's exactly what she should be doing.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: She shouldn't be talking about library cards. She should be
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: talking about holding people accountable. And if we don't get
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: a judicial system. For example, you and I have not
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: discussed the person who took there, who took their girlfriend
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: on a joy ride with a gun right held her hostage,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: I believe, will be arranged this morning, on Monday morning.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: And the question is will the judge hold that person
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: accountable obviously the poor woman who was stabbed and killed
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: in or would that judge did not hold that person accountable.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: There's another bite at the apple because we had somebody
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: in Cincinnati do something crazy like that this weekend and
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: we'll be a rain today. What will the judge do?
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: Will the judge just say, hey, I'll give you a
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: library card, let you out, see you tomorrow, or put
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: you on one of those ankle bracelets and say we're
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: going to monitor you. And poor Sarah hen at or
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: nose that no one's going to be really monitored. So
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen today for the person the young
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: man or the man who had his girlfriend hijacked her
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: by gunpoint and went on a chase with our cops.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: Doesn't make any sense to me.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Well, christ the thing is is that it's fine to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: sit around in the halls of academia and discuss all
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: these restorative justice issues and all these other sorts of
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: lofty ideas. But the bottom line is that people pay
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: with their lives when these sorts of yams are put
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: into practice, and those are the life consequences of these
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: sorts of things, And you know where do people go
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: to get that back? It just doesn't happen. Chris Smithman,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: stay right there. We'll get to a quick break and
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: continue on with the smith Vent on fifty five krc
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: V talk station. He read King Talks Station seven nineteen
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: on this Monday morning, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, and
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: once again we are engaged with Chris Smithment for the
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Smither Vent during a whole hour today. Chris, So, yeah,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know you've always got to be in
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: your bonnet, but we were talking about this dude, Adam Williams,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: facing nineteen charges, going to be in court at nine
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: o'clock on this morning. We'll find out, you know, how
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: hard the judge is gonna come down on him. Police say,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: you know, this guy had all kinds of drugs on him,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: had drugs in his mouth. I guess had repeatedly threatened
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: to harm his girlfriend, and I know, whatever the justice
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: system did in the case of this guy certainly didn't work,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: didn't work for her. And then we have, of course
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: the specter of the young woman who was stabbed to
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: death in just a horrible crime at the Norwood Skyline
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: Chili restaurant. Thank god for some people who were there
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: witnessed the crime. They ran and chased this guy down.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: But the owner of the restaurant is absolutely incensed that
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: you know, this guy was taken. He's got a million
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: dollar bond on him right now. To my way of thinking,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: that million dollar bond is way too low as well.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking five million. You know, there should be
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: a clear message today. You know, I know the guy
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: that stabbed the woman to death and nor Would with
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: two children, got a million dollars. This one should be
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: five million this morning. You've got to send a message
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: that when you are threatening in these domestic situations your
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: spouse or your girlfriend, that we take you serious, we
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: take you at your word, and it would be completely
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: unacceptable to let this person out of jail, completely unacceptable.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: That woman has to be terrified this morning, having gone
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: on that ride on that highway being chased by the
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: cops right now. Imagine how she feels in thirty days
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: or one week or two weeks if he's out on
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: the street again with the monitor. So I hope the judge,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: I hope Hamilton County is listening. We are tired of
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: these soft judges, soft on crime. We need to be
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: very serious and diligent here and start putting some real
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: time on these bad decisions that people are making in
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: our city. What frustrates me as I think about city
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: Hall is that I think that the city manager, the
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: current fire chief. You keep hearing all kinds of rumbling
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: rumblings around the current police sheep that things aren't as
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: rosie as we think they are. And so my concern
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: is that we're going to be right back here in
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: a week or two or a month with the city
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: manager discharging one or both of our police and fire chiefs.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: This is a really serious issue, and it's not happening
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: with the police and fire Dan Carroll. It's happening with
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: the Chief Operating Officer, the CEO, the city manager. There's
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: something going on in that office where whether who you
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: hire isn't going right, meaning you're hiring somebody and it's
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: not turning out right, or you're quick on the trigger
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: and you are firing people where you don't have calls,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: and it's causing so much disruption in a department, in
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: two departments that we need so much. Meaning the beginning
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: of our show, you know, I was talking about the
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: chaos of the weekend, of the blood bath that we had,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: and the Black Lives Matter mural that's right there at
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: the front of City Hall, that most likely they'll spend
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: another two hundred and fifty to five one hundred thousand
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: dollars while facing a thirty million dollar deficit to repaint it,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: but they won't hire cops or encourage officers to go
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: after cold cases. If you talk to moms out there,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: they want to know who killed my kids. You know,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: if you talk to Hope Dudley, she wants to know
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: who killed our kids. And so we need more detectives
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: going out for cold cases. We need more officers, two
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: hundred of them on our streets in order to protect
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: the law abiding citizens that live and go to work
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: every day. Dan Carroll, this is what frustrates me right
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: now about City Hall. I can't get off it because
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: black males are being murdered in our streets every single day.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: I got so infuriated that I reached out to our
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: governor over the weekend and I said, Governor Mike Drian,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: we need your help. We cannot allow these blood baths
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: to happen. We can't wait for it to end up
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: in Bexley, we can't wait for it to hit Indian Yill,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: we can't wait for it to get Hyde Park before
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: we then say there's a problem. There's a problem right now.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of all of the window dressing of Oh, Kumbai, y'a.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: We've got the Black Family Reunion. Everybody's gonna be wonderful.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: Let's put the mural out in front of city all
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: and then we don't get down to the brass tack
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: of making sure that when somebody has a gun they
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: take the life of a black youth, buy a black youth,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: that we're gonna put you in the jail for the
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: rest of your life and we're not gonna play around
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: with you when you have a gun. That message is
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: not clear, Dan Carroll. In the streets of Cincinnati, it
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: is just the opposite. It is soft on crime. If
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: you have a gun. You'll be out by Monday on
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Noahar bond. Don't worry about it. If they do bring
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: you in, you'll just get a month or two, maybe
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: six months, back out with your family, back do what
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: you were doing before, selling drugs and on the street.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of it as a black American that lives
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, but watching this violence all across our country,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: and you have these democratic cities that continue to do
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Let's open up the pools, Let's have
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: midnight basketball, all that kind of stuff. Let's give library
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: cards out when at the front line of it is
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: they're really pushing defund the police, reimagine the police while
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: black people are being slaughtered in our streets, and it
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: looks worse than what we see happening in places like
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: the Iraq War.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Well, Chrissy, and I'm glad you. I'm always glad when
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: you bring up the points that you bring up. And
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: during your last statement there, you reminded me of a
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: conversation that I had with an individual, and it has
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: to do with perception versus reality, and so I want
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: to ask you about that. So we'll do that when
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: we come back from the break Chris Smithman joins us
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: for the Smith Event and we'll continue on right after
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: this on fifty five KRC, the talk station at U Line.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 7: They know firsthand the road to success.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the talk station seven point thirty on
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: this Monday morning, as we continue the Smith Event with
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Chris Smithman and Chris, I was having a conversation with
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine a few days ago, and of
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: course the issue of crime came. Look, I talk about
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: this a lot with you, Corey Bowman, Judge Hartman, others
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the idea of crime in Cincinnati,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: and the conversation was about perception versus reality. And he says, look,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: I go, I'm downtown on a regular basis. He says,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: I feel safe down there, you know. He says, you know,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: I witnessed some minor things every once in a while.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: But the idea that you're going to go downtown, that
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: you're going to get shot is probably very unlikely that
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: anything like that is going to happen. And I think
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: two things can be true at the same time. So
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: and I think in look, this is a person who,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: like you and me, we want Cincinnati to be a
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: great city. We want robust economic activity happening down down there.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: We want people to be safe when they come into
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the city, and not just downtown, but any part of
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: the city. We want people to have a good, clean, healthy,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: safe experience when they come into the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: So when you have people, and I'm sure you hear
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: people make these arguments to you on a regular basis,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: just like they do to me, that we might be
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: overdoing this a little bit when we talk about these issues,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: and maybe it doesn't match up to the experiences that
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: so many people have when they do come into the city.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: What do you say.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not a gambling I'm not a gambling man, but
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to play Russian roulette with my life.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, so it doesn't matter to
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: me what the odds are. If it happens to me,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: or happens to my daughter, or happens to one of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: my boys, it's absolutely devastating to my family and something
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: that most families can't recover from. So why not just
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: avoid it? Right? There are three ways to deal with risk.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: You can retain that risk, you can ensure that risk,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: or you can avoid the risk. I choose a void right.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: So until I have a mayor and a city council
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: that acknowledges that we have a problem because they're waking
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: up on Monday morning saying it's our your perception, everything
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: is cool, and I'm going it's not. If you live
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: in Avondale right now, it's not if you live in
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: near Eton Park, it's not It's not okay to wake
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: up and four people being shot. This is not normal.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: And so the problem is you don't have a mayor
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: that gets behind a podium it's not a ribbon cutting
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: and says these words, I support my cops. I've now
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: empowered my cops to do proactive policing and I have
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: their back. Until we have a mayor that's willing to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: do that right at the front line, we're going to
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: continue to have this problem. This is not about library cards,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: it's not about opening swimming pools, it's not about making
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: sure we have midnight basketball. All of that stuff is great,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: but without the real penicillin, which is a very robust
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: police department that is empowered to do proactive policing, we
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: will continue to have the problems that we're having. And
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm suggesting to everyone listening to me that people at
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: city Hall, through their public policy, they do not care
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: about black lives. I am a Black American. I've raised
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: for black men. I understand what it takes to run
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: a household and make sure that your kids come up
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: a responsible person, and most Black Americans in the United
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: States of America are law abiding citizens. We are all
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: sick and tired of all of this violence that goes
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: unanswered on Monday morning with the same crap that comes
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: from these mayors that say everything is okay. It's not
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: your children that are dying out here. I know it's
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: okay because you're going to go home to your little
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: comfy condo on the hill, paying with a million dollar
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: more gets and everything is going to be cool. It's
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: not cool for that single mom that's in Avondale every
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: day getting up going to work on an hourly wage
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: on a bus where somebody was shot on a metro
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: bus this summer, and go everything is okay. I am
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: angry at this leadership in the city that continues to
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: just turn their backs on the people that vote for them.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: And I say this to Black Americans, stop voting for
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: these democrats. Leave these democrats alone. They don't care about
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: your life. They don't care about public policy that will
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: really support your family. They're running around talking about all
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: kinds of crazy stuff, and in the end they'll put
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: a guy up for Senate tomorrow in a primary who's
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: wearing a Nazi symbol on his chest and tell you
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: that it's okay. What Black American wakes up and says,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: this is a guy that says he hates women, he's
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: got a Nazi sign on his chest. And the Democratic
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: leadership at the federal level of saying we are moving forward,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: we're in jo for seeing this guy and everything is okay.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: That's what's wrong, Dan Carroll. Black America needs to wake
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: up and say we are separating ourselves from a party.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to focus on public policy, and if you
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: don't deliver the public policy, the basic thing of safety
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: to my neighborhood, I'm not going to vote for you.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: Couldn't say it better myself. Chris Smithman, we'll get to
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: one more break. Stay right there as we continue on
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: with the smith event on fifty five krc DE talk station.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 8: When it comes to your import car service needs, there's
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 8: only one.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: Five krc DE talk station. We continue on with Chris
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: Smitherman and the Smith events and Chris one more question
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: about crime and then we'll move on to something else.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: But we have the specter now of Sarah Herringer. She
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: issuing the city a wrongful death lawsuit against the City
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati when her husband was killed. Her husband, Patrick
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: was killed by Mordecai Black, convicted felon, cut off his ankle,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: monitor broke into the home, stabbed him to death as
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: a turney. Her attorney, Todd McMurtry was on with Bill
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: Cunningham last week and laying out the case about how
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: the way Cincinnati police are able to do and you
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: talked about it proactive policing that that has gone by
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: the wayside and either directly or indirectly led to this crime.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Then we have a piece that was posted in the
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Exchange. Adam Taylor has really a good analytical piece
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: and they're talking about is crime down in Cincinnati or
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: have we simply stopped reporting crime? And he makes the
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: case that perception again, perception versus reality here. So I
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: think more and more people are getting onto this idea
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: that the way we have changed policing and look, no
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: one is pointing a finger at the cops on the street.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: They are doing what they have been directed to do
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: by their leadership, and of course they're following the orders
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: that come from city Hall.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you really packed it in. My heart goes out
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: to Sarah and Patrick Henninger, who you know, his life
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: was taken and it shouldn't have happened. I think that's
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: the bottom line, and I support her litigation. If I
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: were in her position, I would see Also, let me
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: also just remind everybody that Patrick was a military vet.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: He's somebody who served several tours in the military, putting
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: his life on the line, and died in o tr
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: running a small business, a fitness with his beautiful wife.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: And so it was absolutely a tragedy of a number
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: of things where you have a monitor Dan Carroll on
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: somebody's leg that's been cut off for weeks, maybe even months,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: and there's no reporting of that. And so yes, we're
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: not blaming ourlaw enforcement officers who are told every day
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: to not go out and do proactive policing, and when
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: they do it, you have people like MSUs Irish Rollie
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: who might just walk up and intervene in that proactive policing,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: telling that person what their rights are intervening inappropriately as
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: our officers are doing their job, and so that sends
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: a very clear message out to the public that you
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: don't have to listen to police officers. High Hey, we
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: have a person we're paying six hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: a consultant who's telling us we don't have to listen
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: to cops. I can intervene and start shooting off on
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: what their rights are in a basic traffic stop or
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: a walk up in downtown. Let me say this to you,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Dan Carroll, we should all investigate shot spotterer in our city.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: This is technology. It's very much not reported, but somebody
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: should do a public information request and say shots fire,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: meaning you and I are talking about people who were shot,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: but we don't have the full picture of the weekend
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: of how many shots were actually fired, and I'm sharing
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: with you it's like a war zone out here in
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: some of our neighborhood, and that we should form city Hall,
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: the city manager and the mayor and all members of council.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: I served as Chair of Law and Public Safety to
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: actively report to us at the end of every weekend
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: shots fired. So we have an understanding about what my
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: perception and my reality is meaning of you and I
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: find out that there were five people shot, but there
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: were one hundred bullets that were shot, right, that is
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: a different picture of what people are actually living through
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: on a daily basis, diving down on their apartment floor
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: because they hear bam bam, bam, bam bam. Nobody was shot,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: but five people, five bullets go off. And so I'm
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: just saying to you, the underreporting that you identified is
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: so true. But Shotspoder would unveil that to you, Dan
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: Carroll and all of the radio hosts around our region
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: about what's really really happening downtown and in our fifty
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: two neighborhoods. I want to again stress to people that
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: are listening because they'll come back and say, well, Smithlaman
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't have any solutions. Let me give you some brother
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: right here so people can hear I do. Number One,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: we need to have a plan. We don't have one.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: Number two, we need to organize all law enforcement in
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: the region. Bring them all in a room, which they
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: will not do, including the FBI, including ATF, including the
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: Prosecutor's office, including the head of the Hamilton County Judicial system.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: Bring them all in a room. Put the bad guys
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: on the table. Say here are the ten or fifteen
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: people who are creating most of the habit. Go after them,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: arrest them, give them big cases, put them under the dog,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: on jail for a long time. Number two, you have
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: workers that are out here doing work in the middle
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: of the morning. Switch those shifts so in these hot
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: spots your lighting it up. So you're fixing our roads, which,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: by the way, we should never sold our railroad. We
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: don't know what's happening with potholes. Assuming that city hall
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: has an interest in fixing our streets, let's do it
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: at night where their problems. Bring our men and women
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: there who have jobs and have them do some of
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: this work at night in these hot spots. Light them up,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: because guess what, crime and people who are doing crime
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: do not like activity. They do not like light that
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: does it. That helps us. Number four, Meet with your judges,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: line them up and tell them we want real serious
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: consequences for people who have guns who are shooting and
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: killing people in our city. Number five, we need to
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: talk to our governor. Governor Mike Dvine. We accept all
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: of your resources, your helicopter, your detectives, right We support
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: our State Highway patrolmen coming into the city of Cincinnati
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: and policing some of the areas that our police are
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: currently doing so they can be dispatched into other areas.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: Number six have recruit classes, hire cops, stop downing them,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: increase them, arale and go to every single role call
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: you pop. We can't when have you seen this? Mayor
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: ever go to a roll call? Ever do a drive,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: go into and do a ride along with our our
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: with our Cincinnati police officers. The message is Dan Carroll
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: at the end is we have a city hall that
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: is not active with law enforcement and they keep sending
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: the message that they just don't care.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: All right, Chris Smithman one segment to go, stay right
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: there and we will wrap things up with the Smith event.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: It's been an unbelievably fast hour so far on fifty
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: five KRC the talk.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 8: Station Shaffaks Credit Unions Community Shred Day happening Saturday.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC DE talk station. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: As we continue on with the Smith events and Chris
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: Smithman at City Hall today, Council Committee is going to
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: hear the budget priorities of the council members I think
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: this will be interesting as city Council faces a thirty
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: million dollar deficit, and we're going to hear what the
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: priorities are of the individual count members. You. I can
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: hear you chuckling in the background because how much he
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: read me? What kind of priorities do you expect to
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: be revealed today?
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: Brother?
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: We'll be talking about it next Monday. You know, it's
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of pork and it's going to be a
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: lot of disconnected from reality of what's really happening.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: Are they going to give million dollars for the music
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Symphony music sent of the Farmer Center
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: there and down there in Yes, Yes, that's a done.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: They are they are.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm just look,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: you'll continue to highlight Dan Carroll the disconnectedness and what
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: what Dan Carroll is saying is here is today we
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: get to hear the priorities of the nine members of council,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: your board of directors. So they're all introducing their motions
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: to the budget chair, and the budget chair takes those
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: motions and says, hey, where do I have five votes
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: on these priorities? And each member of council is trying
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: to line up five members of council to support whatever
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: they whatever their desire is, whatever that project they want
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: to see go forward. We should take each of those
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: motions and and and put them like we should read them.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: In a week all each office will will will deliver
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: their motions and you get a chance to see where
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: their heads are, what they think are the priorities for
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: the city on. You know, as a member of the
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: Board of Directors, I guarantee you there's a disconnect between
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: what we've been discussing this morning.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: The most important thing is life, meaning our lives and safety.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: You won't see many motions, if any, coming from the
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: nine members of council and that's what made me chuck.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well go ahead.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: What were you going to say, Well, well, I want
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: to say to the to your listening audience, is that
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: you know our petition is not just a petition that
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: came from nowhere, Dan Carroll. It comes from a place
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: of watching the city manager constantly one person having the
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: power to fire and hire, without the Board of Trustees,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: the non members of council having any accountability or any
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: say in it. And I just believe that they could
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: have gone into executive session and asked the city manager,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: why are you here to fire Chief Washington? And she
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: would not have been able to articulate that to the
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: non members of council. So she wouldn't have been able
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: to get seven people, seven members of the elected, the
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: people that go before you and are voted on, to
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: say yes, let's move forward, and we wouldn't be facing
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: some ten million dollar settlement, our thirty million dollar settlement
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: with our fire chief. And so this is why this
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: petition is so important. The Democratic Party is lining up
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: against it right They're saying, this is chaos, it's political,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: it's going to create more chaos. I don't see how
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: we can have more chaos. I just believe that having
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: one person, meaning, by the way, I want to say,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: you can't fire the city manager without seven members of council.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: What's so interesting is I'm actually saying, the same way
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: we deal with the city manager, we deal with the police,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: and we deal with the fire chiefs. If they all
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: have the same level of protection, you cannot terminate the
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: three of them without seven members of council. But you
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: have members of council to say, oh, this is just
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: so chaotic. We don't know where this came from. It
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: came from a place of the taxpayers, Dan Carroll, when
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: you mentioned the thirty million dollar deficits, we're the ones
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: ultimately that will pay this settlement. It's not the money
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: is not coming from someplace out on the moon, Dan Carroll.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 3: The people that.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: Live in the City of Cincinnati. While the mayor says
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: he wants to increase our income tact, we are the
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: ones that will ultimately pay for these settlements. That is
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: why it is our business, and it is why the
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: seven members of council. People can go to Dave Auto
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Over on the west side of town. They can sign
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: the petition there when they're open and they're hours. They
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: can go to Jim and Jacks they can sign it there.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: We need citizens to engage in this process so that
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: when we approach them, they say, yes, I heard this.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: I heard it. You and Dan Carroll were talking about it.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely going to sign this petition if I live
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: in the City of Cincinnati, in order to put this
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: on the ballot for November so we can say forever
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: and forever, we say. The city manager only has the
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: power to recommend termination, but the seven members of Council.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: Are all nine have been collectively have the final.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: Say, Chris, let me ask you this real quick, and
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: we've just got about a minute left here. Do you
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: expect people to be surprised when the Mike Washington case,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: the fire chief case is wrapped up, and the case
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: with CG is wrapped up? Eventually, the information that's contained
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: within each of those various court cases, I think a
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff is going to come to light that
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of people probably don't understand or realize about
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: the inner workings of city Hall and the city manager's
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: office and the rest of that. Do you expect people
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: to be surprised by some of that information that will
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: eventually be revealed?
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: I think people live very busy lives. They're not doubt
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: into this very important subject matter, and I think they're
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: going to be shocked by the size of the settlements
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: on both cases. Yes, I think you know when when
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: you sit back and you think there are people out
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: there who still think that Chief Washington Now, even under deposition,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: when the city manager was asked, do you have any
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: information about sexual misconduct from Chief Washington? The answer was no.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: Under deposition when she was asked this simple question, how
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: many female firefighters do you know? None? How many? How
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: many firefighters who are female that are are that are
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: on currently the fire department? I don't know. I'm saying
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: these were questions that were asked under deposition. When the
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: public gets a hold of that deposition and they read
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: that and then they understand why we have the petition, right,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: they'll be running to sign it because we just can't
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: have one person making the ca all that cost us
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars. We're gonna have to issue
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: what are called bonds out here in the open market. Beanie.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna we don't have ten or fifteen or
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: five or twenty million dollars. We're gonna have to literally
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: go out into the bond market and issue debt in
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: order to pay for this, for this litigation. And we'll
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: be paying for that litigation with interests of probably seven
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: percent or eight percent for the next thirty or forty years.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Chris Smithman, we got to run.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Dan Carroll gave me the social media, give

  Speaker 1: at PGA Media has written about yet another victory for
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: or the Trump administration as it as it relates to
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: what he calls the transgender cult. The Trump administration keep
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: stacking up wins for parents and kids. The Justice Department
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: has announced the landmark resolution with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation,
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: forcing one of America's most prominent hospital systems to stop
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: performing gender reassignment procedures on miners. The transgender movements grip
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: on American medicine is losing fast. Cleveland Clinic agreed to
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: a decades long commitment to stop performing or even offering
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, or any other sex rejecting
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: procedures to minors. So weren't we told time and time
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: and time again that these procedures were not happening. Weren't
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: we told it was all the figment of our imagination,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: that this was way overblown. Well, if they weren't happening,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: why is the Cleveland Clinic agreeing to this with the
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice. The agreement came as part of a
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: deal with both the Department of Justice and the Ohio
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: Attorney General. The clinic will pay a three hundred eight
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars penalty after investigators found it submitted false billings
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: to public and private insurers to secure coverage for these
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: procedures on children. Cleveland Clinic also committed two million dollars
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: to a fund to restorative care for D transitioners. Those
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: are people who were harmed by these procedures as kids.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: For years, not only has the transgender cult refused to
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: acknowledge the existence of D transitioners, but the medical establishment
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: has dismissed them, minimized their suffering, and assured everyone that
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: the consequences of these procedures were managedibowle, or even reversible.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: Now one of the country's biggest hospital networks is writing
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: a multi million dollar check to clean up the damage
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: that it helped cause. The activists who spent years insisting
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: the transitioners were rare and mostly happy, have some explaining
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: to do. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodard made clear that
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: this is an ongoing fight to protect kids and right
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: a horrible wrong. The Department of Justice is steadfastly committed
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: to protecting America's children. Just as he said this, just
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: as the resolution with the Texas Children's today's resolution with
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Clinic furthers that commitment and puts these providers
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: on notice that this Justice Department will vigorously enforce federal
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: law where children are put at risk. So you think
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: about this about how the Department of Justice is going
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: after these barbaric that were performed on kids, and had
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris won the the election, none of this would
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: be happening. And God knows how many more kids would
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: have been victimized by this way of thinking, because you know,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was all on board, she was right up there.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe Rachel Levin would have become the Surgeon
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: General of the United States, the butcher Rachel Levin who
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: made those videos telling us that these procedures were medically necessary.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I talked earlier about all the people who
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: engaged in lawfair against Trump and how almost every single
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: one of them, if not all of them, is under
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: investigation right now for their misdeeds. Should Rachel Levin be
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: held accountable for the lies and the misinformation that she
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: put out there and endangered God knows how many kids.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: The DOJ credited the Cleveland Clinic with fully cooperating throughout
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: the investigation and remaining proactive and solution oriented. This does
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: not erase what happened to the kids whose lives are ruined,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: but at least we can protect future kids from suffering.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: So the hospitals are being held accountable. The entire complex
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: that pushed experimental drug use on confused kids for profit
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: is now squarely in the DOJ's crossairs. And again, none
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: of this would be happening were it not for Trump
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: and his administration. There is another piece written by Matt
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: Margolis about this, and it's entitled A review finds the
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: case for transing kids is built on lies. Really, who knew?
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: If you are a responsible parent, you knew, You knew
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: deep down inside that these were lies the entire time
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: American medical establishments spent years insisting puberty blockers were safe
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: and reversible. The gender transition saved young lives. And look,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: there is still a vast sea of adherence to this
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: way of thinking. Activists people who think that experimenting with
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: kids in such ways is perfectly acceptable. They are not
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: going away. So this is a fight that needs to
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: continue on and vigilance needs to be part of it,
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: because make no mistake, if Democrats get back in power,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: they will do everything they can to reverse all this
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: progress that has been made. A new peer reviewed paper
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: suggests that the science quote end quote science used to
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: justify these barbaric procedures was the problem all along. According
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: to the report, a critical review published in May and
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: the European Journal of Developmental Psychology concluded three decades of
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: Dutch Protocol research has not produced reliable evidence. The Dutch
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: Protocol is the foundational framework for medically transitioning kids suffering
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: from gender confusion, and that, of course is the whole thing.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: There are There is no such thing as a trans kid.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: It is a young person, a child, a kid under
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: the age of eighteen, who is confused and has mental
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: issues that need to be dealt with. And all the research,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: all the investigation into this has shown that that is
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: the direction that this needs to go. And again we're
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: talking about kids here and on this issue. Do you
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: know who was way ahead of the curve on this
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: and was talking about this back in the nineteen seventies.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: There is, to my way of thinking, no greater authority
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: on kids and kids issues and how kids deal with
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: things than the one and only mister Rogers. So on
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: all these trans issues, and I think we didn't even
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: realize it back then, But this is a cut of
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: mister Rogers from the nineteen seventies. And this guy, he
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: listened to kids, and he knew that there was this undercurrent,
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: not as prevalent as it is today because of all
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: the social contagion that we have. But mister Rogers knew that. Yeah,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: kids sometimes think about this, and he knew exactly how
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: to deal with it. And you've probably heard this before,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: but maybe you haven't. Mister Rogers laying it down as
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: only he can cut. Number five.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 11: Boys are boys from the beginning. If you were born
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 11: a boy, you stay a boy.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: Girls are girls.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 11: Right from the start. If you were born a girl,
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 11: you stay a girl and grow up to be a lady.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 11: Everybody's fancy, everybody's fine, Your body's fancy, and so is my.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 8: Only girls can be the mommies girls.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 11: Only boys can.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Be the daddy serus. So it doesn't get any better
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: than that.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 12: Holly came from Miami, fla hit choked away across the USA.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: Lou Reed might have seen things differently.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 12: Plugged her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs, and
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 12: then he was as she she says he'd be take
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 12: a walk on the wild side.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: I think mister Rogers listening honey walking on the wild
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: side in his own way. On fifty five KRC, he
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: talks the She's listening.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 4: For the next chance to win your way to our
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 4: iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capitol One.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: This September, talk Station fifty five KRC the talk station.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 6: Well you drink Shamel Pain and the TASiS slack.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 7: SEEO.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: I think Joe's hit on a theme here. She walked
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: up to me and she asked me that then I
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: guess David Bowie is coming next to She said, you know, yeah,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: when it comes to all this this train transition stuff,
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: and you know I'm talking about kids, that's it. I
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: mean for me it Look, if that's the way you
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: want to live your life, if you are an adult
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: and you make that decision that you want to go
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: under the knife, pretend that you're someone that you're not
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: by all means. Look, don't expect me to play along
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: with it. I don't think you really have any reason to,
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: despite all the the raising of the you know, the
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: different flags and all that. So I'm not going I'm
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: not going down that road right now. But if that's Look,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: if that's what you want to do, then God bless you.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: Live your life the way you best see fit. But
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: for God's sake, and I have said this many, many, many,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: multiple times, just leave the kids out of it. Please,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: once they turn eighteen, you're an adult. And really, I
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: think eighteen is probably too young to really have a
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: firm grasp on the kind of decision you're making for
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life. But you're considering an adult.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: Why is that too much to ask that you just
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: leave the kids alone. I don't think it's too much sense.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, God bless him, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: and I mean, the guy has had more hearings then
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: you can shake a stick at Joe if you had
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: to guess how many hearings this guy has held on
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: various different issues. I mean, I don't think you can
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: count that, and there's no way you can follow them.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: Three hundred and fifty maybe somewhere in there. His latest
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: one was talking about the Southern Poverty Laws. I think
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: the head is going of the Southern Poverty Law Center
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: is going to be in this week. But of course,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice came out last week with an
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: updated indictment on the Southern Poverty Law Center, and so they,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: you know, they want to make these claims that no
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: went out. You know, we weren't investing, you know, we
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: weren't misleading our investors. We look, we I guess they
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: want to claim they were totally above board that people
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: who donated them money if they wanted to find out,
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: if they were, you know, paying KKK members to burn crosses,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: to buy uniforms, to stage rallies like they did in Charlotte.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: They claim it was. They claim there was nothing misleading there.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: Then why did they form different LLCs? Why did they
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: have different different ways of distributing that money that were
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: not readily transparent or available. I mean, it'll all come
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: out eventually, but it is not looking good for the
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: Southern Poverty Law Center. So Jim Jordan has again had
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: another another hearing, and he was on with Hannity the
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: other night. And what I didn't know is that after Charlottesville,
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: the Southern Poverty Law Center, according to Jim Jordan, nearly
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: tripled its revenue. So this was a money making operation.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: And this was an event where someone died, someone was killed.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: And so it turns out, according to the indictment, that
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: they were paying people people who wanted to leave. I
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: guess they were infiltrating the KKKA. And that's what the
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: defenders of the SPLC are saying, Well, they had to
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: do this, had to get this valuable information about these
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: hate groups. Well, and getting information is one thing, but
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: paying for them to stage rallies, paying for them to
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: burn crosses, actually paying for and how long how long
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: have we sat here and said, we know where do
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: these people get their money? Who is supporting this kind
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: of thing? Well, it turns out the SPLC what's throwing
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: all kinds of money at seventy grand here, one hundred
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: grand there, no big deal. And then Charlottesville turned out
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: to be, according to Jim Jordan, quite profitable for them.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: So I get the head of the Southern Poverty Law
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: Center is supposed to be there. I believe this week
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look that up and that should
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: be an interesting And the geek that I am, I
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: turn on. I turn on C SPAN. Joe, you ever
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: turned on C SPAN and watch those hearings?
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: Because he says never, but I do. I'll turn on
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: if I see a hearing is going to go on
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: and I know it's going to be a good one,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: I'll watch. I'll sit there for a while and enjoy
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: some C SPAN because you get the just you know,
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: all they do is turn the camera on a letter
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: rip eight twenty six at fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 7: The Simply Money Man. It is sponsored by Shaer Fax

  Speaker 7: Credit Union Physic.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: RC the talk station eight thirty on this Monday morning.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. It was in September of
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: last year when Donald Trump signed an executive order designating
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. And weren't we told
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: at the time, Joe, do you remember this? When that happened.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: We had all the MSNBC people and the CNN people
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: and all the rest of the they're outstanding political analysis
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: and talking heads come out and say he didn't need
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: to do this. Antifa doesn't even exist. Weren't we told
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: that that it was Antifa was just some made up thing?
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: You know, where are they? They don't have any money. Yeah,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: we were led to believe, if you want to believe,
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the hard radical left, that Antifa didn't exist
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: and Trump was just making this up out a whole cloth. Well,
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: this weekend in San Antonio techt in San Antonio, Texas,
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: there was a leadership summit put on by Turning Point USA,
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: Turning Point Women's Leadership Summit they called it. And so
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: they're there too, I believe Riley Gaines was there. Erica
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: Kirk was their other notable conservative women figures, just having
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: a summit, having a get together with the people that
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to come. Hear them speak. Not good enough though,
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: for Antifa, because outside the event there were violent Antifa protests.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: One man who had been pepper sprayed for storming police
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: was seen washing his eyes with the water from a
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: plastic bottle. He immediately threw the bottle at nearby police
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: that he was caught and arrested for resisting arrest, thrown
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: to the ground, taken away. Lots of violent protesters there,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: all in the name of Antifa. One woman had six
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: foot tall flagpole. We know how dangerous those flagpoles can be,
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: because if you want to believe the January sixth a crowd,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: the country was going to be overflown with people. Remember that, Joe.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: They told us that they were attacking with their flagpoles
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: when they went into the Capitol building. Yeah, and so
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: the nation was in danger of being overthrown by these weapons.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: Flag pole weapons. They had some there part of the mob,
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: Lots of them seen wearing the Antifa imagery, chanting slurs
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: and threatening attendees. Very terrorist like when here's what some
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: of the chants included, Erica Kirk go to hell, it's
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: right to rebel. Let's see. Listen Kirk hear us scream
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: f your Nazi regime. So they want to call the
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: Turning Point USA Nazis, Let's see, let's see. Also Charlie
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: Kirk deserved to die. And then there was at least
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: one individual who was made himself up I guess to
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: look like Charlie Kirk that thought it would be nice
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: to reenact the scene where Charlie Kirk was assassin, so
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: that you know, the very caring and you know left
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: in this country. Antifa accepting of everyone, except of course,
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: those who think differently than they. So, yeah, Antifa out
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: there and all they were doing. They didn't get in
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: the way of any Antifa people. No one from the
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: left was put out by the Turning Point USA rally
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: in San Antonio. Just the fact that these people were
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: getting together to exchange ideas, have a conversation, talk about
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: the greatness of America, talk about their organization, talk about
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: the things that they believe in. No, that's not good
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: enough for the left. Antifa has to come out and
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: have violent disruptions and threaten to kill people and actually
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: celebrate the death of the leader of that organization, and
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: so yes, they are a domestic terrorist organization. Just another
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 1: unbelievably clear example of why you can't believe anything that
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: comes from the left in this country. They make threats,
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: they want they want violence, they want people. Not only
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: do they want violence, they're happy to engage in it
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: on their own. And you look at the videos are
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: out there online and you can see exactly the way
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: they conducted themselves, threatening people, clashing with police, and all
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: they were doing the turning point USA women was trying
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: to engage in their First Amendment rights. But no, that's
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: not good enough for ANTIFA and the left in this country,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: who think this sort of activity and behavior is perfectly acceptable.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: Eight thirty five fifty five KRC, The Talk station.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 5: Ever wonder why you're sneezing and coughing in your own home?
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: Walk station fifty five KRC, The Talk Station, Joe, We've
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: got Tom Zowistowski on tomorrow, don't And what time is that?
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: Seven thirty seven.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: Thirty I believe, yeah.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: And I'll probably talk to Zoaistowski. I'm sure that this
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: subject will come up during our conversation. But the DOJ
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: announcing the huge fraud investigation, the crackdown here in Ohio,
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: and it's huge. Yeah, it's a I think it's all
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: a lot bigger than we ever thought it was going
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: to be. And then of course, Johnny come lately the
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: Wine administration announcing that yes, they're all, they're all, they're
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: joining with the DOJ, and they Mike DeWine, who not
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: that long ago said really nothing to see here. It's
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit racist to suggest that one particular community
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: in the Columbus area is big on the fraud train.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: Weren't We also told Joe that this was just the
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: cost of doing business, didn't we hear that? Didn't we
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: hear that from some of the leadership there in Columbus? Yeah,
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: all as well, nothing to see here, We heard all
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: of that. And yeah, so look, I guess the administration
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: might as I'll be generous and say, they were a
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: little behind the curve on, but the fraud investigation is
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: and thank god again for the Trump administration looking to
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: root all this stuff out. Todd Blanche, the Attorney General,
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: was on with Kaylee mcinnaighty over the weekend and talking
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: about the fraud. Interesting cut here cut number three.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 4: We saw you and a whole of government approach this
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 4: week tackling fraud. And I've heard from our viewers kind
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 4: we want to rest and you brought that once again
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 4: this week, a thirty two count indictment, two of which
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 4: were state employees. This is the most wanted fraudsters you have.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 4: I was stunned, mister Attorney General, that there is a
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 4: man on there that's accused of stealing one point two
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 4: billion dollars with the bee of taxpayer dollars. These people
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 4: you think you're going to find.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 13: Them, Well, yes, And that's one of the reasons why
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 13: we're publicly we're publishing this list is because it works
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 13: for the most wanted that you know, Director Patel talks
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 13: about how in just one year we've gott an eight
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 13: of the ten most wanted criminals, and that's why we
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 13: wanted to start this list. You have President Trump Vice
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 13: President Vance telling the American people we are going to
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 13: stop this fraud on this thieves. They just people stealing
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 13: money from the taxpayers of this country. And we announced
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 13: a bunch of charges in Ohio this week. And just remember,
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 13: when we're arresting these guys, we're taking cars, luxury cars.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 13: We got range Rovers, Maseratis and McLaren this week. And
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 13: so these are individuals who are just stealing from us
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 13: and then going out and living in the lap of
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 13: luxury and so and so we're going to we are
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 13: going to continue in every jurisdiction to go after these
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 13: these frausters and arrest them and and take all of
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 13: their ill gotten gains, which is what you saw happen
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 13: this week.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: So there's the Todd Blanche, I want to say, the
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: acting Attorney Trump has nominated him to be the full
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: time Attorney General. And so this is the sort of thing.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: And I think I saw where Pam Bondy has been
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer and so God bless her and all
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: the best to her. And I mean, I thought I
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: like Pam Bondy. But when it comes to investigating things
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: is one thing, taking action is another. And so Todd
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: Blanche has been looking at in I've seen some different
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: analytical pieces talking about how Pam Bondi is the one
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: who set the table and that essentially had all these
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 1: things queued up. And that may very well be the case,
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: but it's one thing to have all your ducks in
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: a row. It's another thing to take action on it.
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 1: And that's what Plants is doing. And ever since he's
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 1: been the Attorney General, he has been full speed ahead
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: on any number of issues, and that is what Trump
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: wants to see more than anything else. So Kaylee McKinney
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: makes the point there that I have been and I
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: know a lot of callers that I've talked to have
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: been making for a long time. Sure it's great, Jim
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: Jordan to have all these investigations, but let's see some results.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: Let's see some action, Let's see some purpleks, Let's see
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: people being held accountable. So now we have the arrests
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: and we're going to have the prosecutions, and those prosecutions
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: have to stick. Now, these people who have been stealing,
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's one thing to say fraud, as if
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 1: it's a game of some sort. No, it's not a game.
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: You're you're stealing money from the American people. And the
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: numbers just keep getting bigger and bigger, and the theft
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: just gets more brazen and brazen the the more that
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: you uncover. You know, these people are dealing around me.
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: What was the what was that? A good fellas right
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: when when Robert de Niro is, he's Jimmy and you know,
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: and they and they steal the money from they do
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 1: the big OL's Stanza heist at I guess at JFK, right,
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: the biggest biggest heist in history. They steal all that
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: money and all the mob guys that they start buying
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 1: new cars, right, they come into the bar. They got
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: a new car, they got minks, they got all this stuff.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 1: And Jimmy's like, what the hell's wrong with you? I
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 1: told you don't buy anything fancy, don't draw any attention
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: to yourself. And Todd Blanche is out there saying, yeah,
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: they're driving Maserati's, they're driving McLaren's, they're driving you know,
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: I guess what Rolls roy you know, like Joe has
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: a Rolls Royce. Oh, you know, all the fancy sport
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: cars and all the other stuff. They just don't care.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: They're getting all this money and all these fake businesses
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 1: going on, ninety some businesses in one building. And then
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you. The guy who's
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: really been passionate about this more than anyone else has
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: been doctor Mehmet Oz. And I don't know why I
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: didn't bring. I was watching a SoundBite to him during
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: this news conference, and I mean, this guy is unbelievably
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: passionate about this kind of stuff. I mean, this guy's
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: been out there for a long time trying to help people,
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: and he is absolutely incensed about how many people are
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: getting screwed over in this and not people who are
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: ripping off the government, but the people who need these services,
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 1: the people who genuinely need the largess of the federal
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: government in their lives, and how they are the ones
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: who are getting the short end of the stick here
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: because so much of this money is being stolen, and
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: how much more better off they would be if only
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: they were getting screwed over like this. But them in Oz,
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: doctor Oz, I've got I have had a lot of
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: respect for him, but even new found respect because he
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: and JD Vance and I really think that behind the scenes,
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: it's Oz who is I mean, I think him in
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: Dvance are a great team. But doctor Oz is pulling
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 1: no punches on. I mean, he is hell bent on
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: seeing this thing through and I hope he sticks around
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: for a long time. Eight forty six fifty five KRCV
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: talk station.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 8: Hey, it's Brian Thomas with Steve from USA Installation. Steve
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 8: and I was talking the other day with Sea from.
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: Eight fifty on this Monday morning, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas,
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: Glenn Beck coming up the top of the hour. I
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: was talking with a guest on one of my other
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 1: shows a couple of days ago, and I said, what
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: about remember when we heard about Joe Biden being diagnosed
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 1: with cancer, and it was right around the end of
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: the time I think he was still in office, but
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: it was just in the in the last few days
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: that he was in office, they came out, oh, he's
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: got stage four cancer, and then after that we didn't
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: hear another word about it. Well, Jill Biden is out
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: on her book tour now and she apparently told the
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: ladies on the View that he's going to live with
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: stage four cancer for the rest of his life. The
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: article that I read about this didn't talk about surgical
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: options or anything like that. And then I don't want
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: to get into all of those weeks, but apparently he's
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: just going to live with it, and so so she
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: finally conceded that Joe has slowed down, and I guess
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 1: the cancer has slowed him down a little. Bit so
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: God bless him as far as the cancer is concerned,
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 1: and I wish him all the best on that, Joe.
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 1: Generally speaking, is it colder in Canada than it is
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 1: here in the lower forty eight? Pretty much? The Canadian
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: owner of a twenty twenty four Lucid Air Pure has
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: prevailed in a Lemon Law arbitration case that compelled Looseid
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: and Loucid as a car maker, which I did not know,
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: and I guess they make electric vehicles. He canceled his
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: lease and I guess the company has reclaimed the vehicle
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 1: eighteen months into a four year agreement. Among the many
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: issues with the EV, the company told him that he
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: cannot park the EV outside in the winter time and
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: expect it to function properly. What hey, so you're selling
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: evs in Canada? Where? How long does wintertime last in Canada?
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 1: Five six seven months? A year? Just says eleven and
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 1: a half months. Oh. The Auto Blog reports that the
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: owner shared his experience on a Lucid form. I guess
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: he said, there are parts falling off that. I mean,
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 1: it looks like a very nice car. It looks very sleek,
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: very modern, looks very expensive. But they said, look, you
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: got the ev you cannot park it outside in the wintertime.
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that would put a cramp in your
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: style if that's your main vehicle forgetting. You know, if
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 1: all you're going to do is drive from I guess
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 1: you start in your garage and you come back to
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: your garage. That's the only place you park because you
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: can't park outside. Maybe I guess you can park in
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 1: a parking garage, but it's still pretty cold. I'm going
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 1: to get one more SoundBite before we go, and I
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: played this one earlier this morning, but it was John
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: Fetterman and probably the most entertaining cut that I've heard
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: in a while. But Fetterman has been great. He was
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: talking on CNN with Smarcanash about the whole Platiner thing.
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: Graham Platiner, the dirtbag wants to be a Senator from Maine,
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: and it went like this cut number two.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 9: Love this you Now he's lied to America. He lied
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 9: to my colleagues in the Senate just later this week.
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 9: For now trying to pretend that none of those things
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 9: aren't true. But that's exactly where we are.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 7: Okay, here's my theory.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 10: My theory is that with each of these revelations with
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 10: your Democratic colleagues, it actually enhances his stature in this
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 10: strange way, because they, for lack of a better descriptor,
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 10: they want a junkyard dog.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 7: They want a street fighter.
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 10: Who's willing to knee President Trump in the groin if
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 10: given the choice, and that's given the option, and that's
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 10: the way, and that's the way he presents himself now.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 9: Now, being a dirt bag is not authentic, you know,
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 9: being a dirt bag is being a dirt bag
