- 0:12Speaker 2: Soon they hope we will Sugar use the vacation There
- 0:29Speaker 2: it is.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe Strecker, executive producer of the 35KRC Morning
- 0:32Speaker 1: Show for the WooHoo, confirming what I already knew. It
- 0:34Speaker 1: is Friday, and a happy Friday to everybody. Three-day weekend
- 0:37Speaker 1: for me. Be off on Monday, enjoying a three-day holiday weekend. And,
- 0:40Speaker 1: of course, the Riverfest fireworks. It's going to be a
- 0:43Speaker 1: great time now at Riverfest. And I hope you all
- 0:44Speaker 1: have a great time. Really praying for that. And don't
- 0:47Speaker 1: count on flock cameras recording any license plates or your
- 0:50Speaker 1: criminal activity over the weekend. Charmaine McGuffey has suspended the
- 0:53Speaker 1: use of flock cameras in Hamilton County. It is Tech Friday,
- 0:57Speaker 1: so we'll have to talk about that. And if you
- 0:59Speaker 1: got an opportunity, I may be able to get to
- 1:00Speaker 1: the details of it. There's an article on Fox, first
- 1:03Speaker 1: on Fox, no Kings protest network behind fight against AI
- 1:09Speaker 1: data centers and flock cameras. Remember no Kings?
- 1:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Well, it's a whole loose net organization of a whole
- 1:15Speaker 1: bunch of different leftist organizations, including of all organizations, Code Pink.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Code Pink. Remember the peahat wearing ladies that came out
- 1:23Speaker 1: when Trump first got elected? They're behind the anti-flock effort
- 1:27Speaker 1: as well. Just one leftist organization after another. And the
- 1:31Speaker 1: article on Fox News, and I'll give credit to Asra
- 1:33Speaker 1: Normani for writing it, putting it together, just reviewed a
- 1:36Speaker 1: new study came out. It's a new report. The Compute
- 1:40Speaker 1: War at Home Commissioned by the Consumer Action for Strong Economy.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Described as an Alexander, Virginia, free markets nonprofit. And what
- 1:48Speaker 1: they did is they used social media analysis by another
- 1:51Speaker 1: number cruncher company out there that goes and scrapes data
- 1:54Speaker 1: from the internet, basically. the technology firm, and they showed
- 1:58Speaker 1: the money trail from all these leftist organizations. Roy Singham's
- 2:01Speaker 1: name came up in this. Here are a handful of
- 2:05Speaker 1: the groups that are involved in this anti-flockhammer thing. Party
- 2:07Speaker 1: for Socialism and Liberation. This is all within the Singham network.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Code Pink, the People's Forum, Answer Coalition, and a whole
- 2:17Speaker 1: bunch of other affiliated groups. I could go on. There
- 2:20Speaker 1: are more of these left-wing organizations and affiliated groups you
- 2:23Speaker 1: can shake a stick at. all maybe in large part
- 2:26Speaker 1: driven by the interest of the Chinese Communist Party, which
- 2:31Speaker 1: are involved in this anti-flock as well as anti-data center
- 2:34Speaker 1: screaming and yelling. Party for Socialism and Liberation, local chapter
- 2:39Speaker 1: in North Carolina, published an anti-flock post centered on AI
- 2:43Speaker 1: mass surveillance and police brutality. And see, I emphasize that,
- 2:47Speaker 1: police brutality. So there's a part, they're trying to weave
- 2:52Speaker 1: all of this together, and they're doing a great job
- 2:54Speaker 1: at it, considering one minute everybody is praising Flock, and
- 2:58Speaker 1: of course, the use of Flock does solve crimes. Even
- 3:01Speaker 1: Charmaine McGuffey said it's been great for us in terms
- 3:04Speaker 1: of finding bad guys. I'm not advocating for it, I'm
- 3:07Speaker 1: just pointing out the reality of this. So you got
- 3:10Speaker 1: the whole anti-police movement, you know, the defund the police,
- 3:13Speaker 1: it's all racism in police departments. Okay, you're aware of
- 3:15Speaker 1: those groups. But then you have the Flock which is, yes,
- 3:20Speaker 1: occasionally officers misuse the data. And, of course, the broader
- 3:24Speaker 1: concern about Flock collecting data and then selling it off
- 3:27Speaker 1: to third parties, something that I suppose could be remedied
- 3:30Speaker 1: by legislation or contractual negotiation with any municipality deciding to
- 3:33Speaker 1: do business with Flock, but putting that aside. They're just
- 3:36Speaker 1: randomly getting little snippets of things that all melded into
- 3:40Speaker 1: one big anti-data message. Think about this. And there should
- 3:50Speaker 1: be outrage. If a police officer uses flock camera data
- 3:54Speaker 1: to look and find out where his ex-girlfriend or his
- 3:56Speaker 1: wife has been or some guy, it doesn't matter. Any
- 4:00Speaker 1: individual abuse, a violation of the rules that the officers
- 4:04Speaker 1: are aware of. They know what the rules are. They
- 4:07Speaker 1: know the limitations on their legitimate use of flock camera data.
- 4:10Speaker 1: And they go out and do it anyway. That's terrible.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I agree. It shouldn't happen. Disciplinary action. Go ahead, give
- 4:17Speaker 1: them the collective bargaining rights they're entitled to, and then
- 4:19Speaker 1: fire them for misuse of the flock camera. Make an
- 4:21Speaker 1: example of them so other people don't do it. You know,
- 4:23Speaker 1: like the criminal justice system is supposed to work. So, one,
- 4:29Speaker 1: misuse is bad, right? You've heard the argument. You've heard
- 4:32Speaker 1: the screams and the wails and the gnashing of teeth
- 4:34Speaker 1: of the people protesting the use of flock cameras. Where
- 4:39Speaker 1: is the anger and outrage over, I don't know, voter fraud? Oh,
- 4:44Speaker 1: that's right. Oh, there's so little of it. It doesn't
- 4:47Speaker 1: even matter. We don't need to look at voter fraud. Yeah,
- 4:50Speaker 1: that person voted. That person's not lawfully allowed to vote.
- 4:53Speaker 1: But look how infrequently it happens. We don't need to
- 4:56Speaker 1: do anything to solve the problem. Do we know where
- 4:59Speaker 1: the problem arose? Yes, that's because we made it really easy.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It didn't require photo identification. We allowed gathering of mass
- 5:05Speaker 1: pre-sent out ballots to literally every person who is registered
- 5:09Speaker 1: to vote, and some people are filling them out on
- 5:12Speaker 1: the behalf of other people and purporting to be that person.
- 5:14Speaker 1: That's fraud, yeah, but you know what? It happens so
- 5:16Speaker 1: little it can't impact the election. Where's the screaming outrage
- 5:20Speaker 1: over that?
- 5:21Speaker 4: Not.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Because it benefits their cause. Clearly the left, the only party,
- 5:28Speaker 1: the only people out there in the world that seemingly
- 5:30Speaker 1: have no interest in plugging the holes, finding the areas
- 5:35Speaker 1: where this oh-so-limited abuse occurs, and stopping even a limited
- 5:40Speaker 1: number of people from voting when they're not allowed lawfully
- 5:43Speaker 1: to do so. What's the problem with that? And don't
- 5:48Speaker 1: tell me it disenfranchises anybody. We've been up and down
- 5:50Speaker 1: that road for how many years now? I mean, even
- 5:53Speaker 1: my black friends are saying, don't insult me, which is
- 5:56Speaker 1: what I've been arguing on their behalf for a long time.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Not enough people in the black community standing up going,
- 6:00Speaker 1: don't tell me I don't know how to get a
- 6:01Speaker 1: photo ID. I had to get one to vote in
- 6:03Speaker 1: the NAACP election.
- 6:10Speaker 5: Right?
- 6:11Speaker 1: Don't tell me that. You're insulting me. Don't paint my
- 6:15Speaker 1: entire race as a bunch of morons who can't get
- 6:17Speaker 1: a license. So that argument doesn't work. And yet they
- 6:23Speaker 1: do nothing to solve an obvious problem, a demonstrably obvious problem,
- 6:28Speaker 1: because I think literally in every state in the union,
- 6:31Speaker 1: you can find a couple, if not a whole lot
- 6:34Speaker 1: more of cases where people have unlawfully cast votes. So
- 6:40Speaker 1: I want to hear the outrage on that side from
- 6:42Speaker 1: the left. And I acknowledge I do not like a
- 6:46Speaker 1: surveillance state. I've said it multiple times since AI is
- 6:50Speaker 1: all the rage to scream about that these days. I
- 6:54Speaker 1: don't like what artificial intelligence can do. Even the good
- 6:57Speaker 1: stuff is really starting to irk me. It's weakening our brains.
- 7:02Speaker 1: It's taking away our logic and reason, our thought process,
- 7:05Speaker 1: our ability to come up with ideas and concepts by
- 7:08Speaker 1: reading information and drawing our own conclusions. We just let
- 7:11Speaker 1: it do it for us. Tell me that is not
- 7:13Speaker 1: brain softening. Even for good things. And then there's all
- 7:19Speaker 1: the evil that goes along with it. There's the jobs
- 7:22Speaker 1: that are going to be lost. And I recognize we
- 7:24Speaker 1: have been through more and more. innovations over the lifetime,
- 7:27Speaker 1: over our country's lifetime, the world's lifetime, we always manage
- 7:30Speaker 1: to overcome. And I sure as hell hope down the road,
- 7:33Speaker 1: because artificial intelligence ain't going anywhere, that we overcome the
- 7:36Speaker 1: challenges and the world becomes a better place because of it.
- 7:38Speaker 1: But right now, as I stare into the abyss of
- 7:40Speaker 1: what AI can do, the eradication of jobs, watching those
- 7:43Speaker 1: multitudes of humanoid robots marching lockstep at the humanoid robot
- 7:48Speaker 1: games in China, yeah, it's there. And so while there's
- 7:55Speaker 1: a lot of good that can come from it, that's
- 7:57Speaker 1: what people hang their hat on in terms of why
- 7:59Speaker 1: we're moving in that direction. There's also a lot of
- 8:00Speaker 1: bad that can go along with it. Isn't that really
- 8:02Speaker 1: the course with ever? That's the case with pretty much everything.
- 8:06Speaker 1: There's good and there's bad. And what we do is
- 8:08Speaker 1: we try to correct the bad. We try to get
- 8:10Speaker 1: in front of it or stop it once we are
- 8:12Speaker 1: aware of it. We've been aware of voter fraud problems
- 8:18Speaker 1: for years and years, and many states have taken efforts,
- 8:21Speaker 1: Ohio included, cleaning up the voter rolls, which is so easy.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Maybe because of AI cross-referencing databases and finding out that
- 8:29Speaker 1: people moved out of the state a couple of years ago,
- 8:32Speaker 1: and yet they're still shown as eligible. That's an easy fix.
- 8:36Speaker 5: Do it.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Use the technology for our advantage. Showing up the election integrity. Look, see,
- 8:43Speaker 1: we fixed it. and maybe we can't, but to completely
- 8:49Speaker 1: eliminate it, throwing out the baby with the bathwater, I'm
- 8:55Speaker 1: not quite sure that that works in our interest either,
- 8:59Speaker 1: because we here in the United States may be able
- 9:05Speaker 1: to close our eyes, put our hands over our ears,
- 9:08Speaker 1: and go la-la-la-la-la while the rest of the world grabs it,
- 9:12Speaker 1: takes a hold of it, and moves forward, and yes,
- 9:15Speaker 1: uses it to their respective advantages. And again, I tend
- 9:18Speaker 1: to be thinking of the CCP when I think of
- 9:20Speaker 1: that because they're the ones who are waging the war
- 9:22Speaker 1: against flock cameras, artificial intelligence, and every other technological advancement
- 9:27Speaker 1: that they are putting every ounce of capital they have into.
- 9:31Speaker 1: How come it's bad for us and there's no outrage
- 9:34Speaker 1: on the street in the Chinese Communist Party about a
- 9:36Speaker 1: surveillance state? Oh, that's right, because they have the ultimate
- 9:39Speaker 1: surveillance state in China. And if China were successful in
- 9:43Speaker 1: sort of metaphorically or literally taking over the hearts and minds,
- 9:47Speaker 1: winning a war of the hearts and minds of Americans,
- 9:50Speaker 1: in other words, convincing us all to go far left-wing
- 9:52Speaker 1: socialist communists, we embrace the Chinese. We start working with
- 9:56Speaker 1: them collectively. They are going to take over Flock Camera,
- 9:59Speaker 1: the business. make it a state-owned entity and just incorporate
- 10:03Speaker 1: it into their network, which is literally spying on every
- 10:06Speaker 1: single person in China. They love this stuff. Please read
- 10:21Speaker 1: that article. No Kings Protest Network Behind Fight Against AI
- 10:27Speaker 1: Data Centers and Flock Cameras. It's eye-opening. 516-55-KRC, the talk station.
- 10:34Speaker 1: We've got plenty to talk about this side. We've got
- 10:36Speaker 1: plenty to talk about in the 6 o'clock hour as
- 10:37Speaker 1: we head up to Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Awesome.
- 10:40Speaker 1: And then on at least one subject matter we're going
- 10:43Speaker 1: to go over, it's the return of Signal 99 at 7.05.
- 10:47Speaker 1: She's going to react. I know she's a fan of
- 10:49Speaker 1: flock cameras because they do help law enforcement. She's going
- 10:51Speaker 1: to react to Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey's freezing the use of
- 10:56Speaker 1: flock cameras just in time for Riverfest. We'll talk about that.
- 10:59Speaker 1: We'll talk about Judge Bloom and her terrible running of
- 11:02Speaker 1: the juvenile court system. Vote Lucan. Interim Police Chief Henney,
- 11:05Speaker 1: a little upset that she actually and the collective that
- 11:08Speaker 1: actually is Signal 99 are getting information. He's against public
- 11:13Speaker 1: information being shared in the public. I thought that's what
- 11:15Speaker 1: the internet was for. Jack Windsor from the Ohio Tech
- 11:17Speaker 1: Press Network at 8.30. We'll talk about why Amy Acton
- 11:21Speaker 1: is hiding. I think we know. Sherrod Brown and the
- 11:23Speaker 1: Springfield Haitians, plus Greg Lansman against socialism, of course, after
- 11:28Speaker 1: he was for it. Feel free to give me a call. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Pound 550 on AT & T phones. Oh, look, Cincinnati
- 11:32Speaker 1: Mayor Perval has unveiled a plan to address violence in
- 11:34Speaker 1: and around UC's campus. Not the other neighborhoods in Cincinnati,
- 11:44Speaker 1: but just campus. Wait till you hear what he has
- 11:46Speaker 1: to say about that. I'll be right back. Our iHeartRadio
- 11:49Speaker 1: Music Festival.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Way to a beautiful.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Channel 9 says gorgeous and mild Sunday for Riverfest. That's
- 11:54Speaker 1: good news. 84 for the high. Then it's 75 right now.
- 12:00Speaker 1: I'm Donald J. Trump, and I approve this message. Thanks
- 12:03Speaker 1: as always, Don. Nonpartisan. Also nonpartisan, Lemmy. Calls are always
- 12:23Speaker 1: welcome here on the 55KRC Morning Show. Happy Friday from me,
- 12:26Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, and Joe Strecker. I'll just throw it in there.
- 12:28Speaker 1: He didn't say it, but I think he means it. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Christopher Smith on Monday, and like a typical tear for him,
- 12:36Speaker 1: the silence from the mayor's office. Since a mayor, Aftab
- 12:39Speaker 1: Provo rarely comments on anything relating to violence. He ignores
- 12:42Speaker 1: it and tries to suggest to you there's not a
- 12:44Speaker 1: problem with crime in downtown Cincinnati. Well, given the, what,
- 12:48Speaker 1: four shootings since the school started on UC's campus, the
- 12:51Speaker 1: regular outbreaks of violence and crowds of, well, post-school rowdy
- 12:56Speaker 1: youths coming out of Hughes High School, creating congestion problems
- 12:59Speaker 1: and traffic problems and I guess getting into fights, he
- 13:02Speaker 1: finally came out of his shell. Maybe Amy Acton's hiding
- 13:06Speaker 1: with Mayor Aftab Pearlwall. We'll talk about that later in
- 13:10Speaker 1: the program. With Jack Windsor, that's the first topic. Why
- 13:13Speaker 1: is Amy Acton hiding? Coming up at 8.30. So anyway,
- 13:16Speaker 1: it says he's announced a plan. I'll give Brian Hamrick
- 13:19Speaker 1: over at WLWT credit for bringing this to my attention.
- 13:24Speaker 1: So we got four shootings near campus since the start
- 13:27Speaker 1: of the semester. Four people injured and one dead. Massive
- 13:30Speaker 1: fight among high school students near Hughes High School when
- 13:34Speaker 1: they let out. All caught on video, which everything is
- 13:36Speaker 1: these days, going back to the flock camera comments. Here
- 13:39Speaker 1: we go. It's obviously very serious. He actually said that
- 13:43Speaker 1: out loud. We take any violence very seriously, but particularly
- 13:48Speaker 1: when we have violence in such high-density areas. So I
- 13:52Speaker 1: guess crime and violence in high-density areas more important than
- 13:56Speaker 1: crime and violence in lower-density areas. Whatever. When asked about
- 14:03Speaker 1: his message to parents, many of whom freshmen experiencing first
- 14:06Speaker 1: days on campus, which is a tough time for the freshmen,
- 14:08Speaker 1: of course. I remember those days well. A bit of
- 14:11Speaker 1: a deer in a headlight feeling when you're walking on
- 14:13Speaker 1: UC's campus for the first time in your life as
- 14:15Speaker 1: a 17-year-old, not even knowing where your first class is. Yeah,
- 14:18Speaker 1: it's tough. You don't know anybody. It's filled with anxiety.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And then you find out there's a bunch of murderers
- 14:24Speaker 1: or would-be murderers or just people just squeezing off rounds
- 14:26Speaker 1: around campus randomly. And you're like, okay, let's add to
- 14:29Speaker 1: the anxieties. Purval said, we're doing everything we can to
- 14:33Speaker 1: make sure that we stop these violent acts. We hold
- 14:39Speaker 1: people accountable. Somebody wrote LOL after that. And then we
- 14:42Speaker 1: prevent it from happening again. I don't know if that's
- 14:44Speaker 1: collective we or he's referring to the collective government bodies
- 14:47Speaker 1: that control crime or have some issue over crime. And
- 14:49Speaker 1: I think it's the latter. Fine. You sounds like you're
- 14:53Speaker 1: talking a strong game. So what are they doing? According
- 14:57Speaker 1: to the reporting, the plan includes restricting traffic flow in
- 15:02Speaker 1: certain areas, increasing lighting, implementing parking restrictions, and the all-important
- 15:10Speaker 1: enhancing patrol visibility with the coordinated efforts of the Cincinnati
- 15:13Speaker 1: Police Department and help of UC Police as well. Perval said,
- 15:17Speaker 1: and I will quote, we are working very collaboratively together.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Whoa.
- 15:25Speaker 1: I feel better now that it's very collaboratively as opposed
- 15:28Speaker 1: to just plain old collaboratively. Don't you? Working very collaboratively together,
- 15:37Speaker 1: struggling this morning to identify the challenges that we're facing
- 15:40Speaker 1: and increase our interventions. Well, I think we're all painfully
- 15:46Speaker 1: aware of the challenges we're facing. Unruly high school students
- 15:49Speaker 1: and people running around with guns after hours in violation
- 15:52Speaker 1: of the curfew. and knowing full well that once they
- 15:54Speaker 1: enter the criminal justice system, they're going to get a
- 15:56Speaker 1: hand slap and be let back out on the streets
- 15:58Speaker 1: with little or no punishment. Okay, let's address the latter one.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Did the mayor address that component, something that he probably
- 16:04Speaker 1: has little or no control over, or only behind the
- 16:07Speaker 1: scenes has control over the Hamilton County Justice System's treatment
- 16:11Speaker 1: of prisoners? It may be a policy from the mayor
- 16:13Speaker 1: that's rubbed off on the judicial part of the Hamilton County,
- 16:16Speaker 1: but I don't know that. For all of all note
- 16:23Speaker 1: of the city is keeping data tracking results with plans
- 16:28Speaker 1: to make adjustments based on feedbacks and efforts or rather
- 16:33Speaker 1: as efforts continue to address violence in the area. I'm
- 16:36Speaker 1: crystal clear on the concept.
- 16:39Speaker 6: Hmm.
- 16:40Speaker 1: So what is seems to me to boil down to
- 16:42Speaker 1: the one single thing that I think has a potential
- 16:45Speaker 1: to help.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Police.
- 16:48Speaker 1: We're talking about an increased police presence in one neighborhood
- 16:52Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. I don't know how the
- 16:55Speaker 1: other neighborhoods feel about that, whether they're like holding their
- 16:58Speaker 1: hand up saying, what about me? Considering we are working
- 17:03Speaker 1: with an ever shrinking number of police officers that actually
- 17:07Speaker 1: want to police the streets of Cincinnati or Hamilton County,
- 17:11Speaker 1: even as the case may be with the sheriff's department.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Got any theories, thoughts, comments? We on the right track here?
- 17:20Speaker 1: Did I mention flock cameras have been shut off in
- 17:21Speaker 1: advance of the Riverfest weekend? 526 right now, 55KRC, the
- 17:25Speaker 1: dog station. More local stories coming up, including, yeah, paying
- 17:28Speaker 1: fees to play sports. It's extracurricular activities. Don't go away.
- 17:35Speaker 7: 55KRC.
- 17:37Speaker 1: One hour from now, Tech Friday with Dave Adder. Would
- 17:40Speaker 1: you get into a Waymo in Cincinnati? Actually, I'm more technology,
- 17:45Speaker 1: you know, fine. Some people want to use it, some don't.
- 17:48Speaker 1: There are other driverless taxis out there, and I'm just
- 17:51Speaker 1: kind of curious to know what the financial relationship is.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Do you get a license to operate those cars in
- 17:55Speaker 1: the city? Is someone's hand in a cookie jar? And
- 17:58Speaker 1: recognizing there are other competing companies out in the world,
- 18:01Speaker 1: are they coming to town too, and what are they
- 18:04Speaker 1: going to offer? Curious developments. Anyway, let's go to the
- 18:08Speaker 1: phone and see what Tom's got for you at The
- 18:10Speaker 1: Local Stories. Tom, good morning. Happy Friday, brother.
- 18:13Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, good morning, and I'm just going to go
- 18:16Speaker 5: out on a limb here.
- 18:17Speaker 3: You seem.
- 18:19Speaker 5: You seem skeptical of the mayor's agenda or whatever.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Seem?
- 18:27Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.
- 18:32Speaker 6: You are.
- 18:34Speaker 1: You are skeptical. Yes, I will confirm that.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Oh, is that what I meant?
- 18:38Speaker 1: Jaded, cynical, skeptical. It's my default mode, Tom. You're pretty
- 18:42Speaker 1: safe just landing on that as a conclusion about pretty
- 18:44Speaker 1: much any topic.
- 18:46Speaker 5: Can these people say anything that actually means anything? No.
- 18:50Speaker 5: In this world? No, they can't.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Every sentence must have the word collaborative in it. It
- 18:55Speaker 1: must have the word community in it. We work collectively.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I mean, you know the word salad. And all these
- 19:02Speaker 1: words really mean nothing.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Wasn't it collaboratively?
- 19:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:06Speaker 5: You've got to put the L-Y in there. It's a
- 19:09Speaker 5: whole new word, see? Yeah.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Verb, adverb, yeah, you know.
- 19:15Speaker 5: Oh, so when you get people that get into office
- 19:19Speaker 5: and they actually try to get something done, oh, no, no,
- 19:22Speaker 5: we've got to get rid of these people. We're not
- 19:24Speaker 5: trying to get anything done. The dirty word that you
- 19:29Speaker 5: danced around that nobody wants to deal with is accountability.
- 19:35Speaker 5: They don't want anything that's going to hold them accountable. Oh,
- 19:38Speaker 5: if you want to hold maybe people on the right
- 19:40Speaker 5: or Republicans accountable, that's fine. We can come up with
- 19:43Speaker 5: all kinds. That's what No Kings is about, right? How
- 19:47Speaker 5: dare you get in there and try to hold us
- 19:50Speaker 5: accountable for our behavior? How dare you try to stop
- 19:53Speaker 5: us from the way we want to do things? It's silly.
- 19:59Speaker 5: People do not want to be held accountable. It's kind
- 20:02Speaker 5: of a default mode for human beings, but some of
- 20:05Speaker 5: us are adult enough and grown up enough to realize...
- 20:09Speaker 5: We need to be held accountable for society to work properly.
- 20:12Speaker 5: For your job site to work properly, there needs to
- 20:15Speaker 5: be accountability. It has to be.
- 20:16Speaker 1: It's not really optional. For society to advance, we need
- 20:20Speaker 1: accountability in the home. Parents who are responsible enough to
- 20:24Speaker 1: take care of their children.
- 20:25Speaker 5: That would be great.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Well, that's the core. That is the root of all problems.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Do you think little Johnny packing a 9 mil, walking
- 20:32Speaker 1: around the streets of Cincinnati at age 14, Is that
- 20:35Speaker 1: from a good home structure where there is accountability, where
- 20:38Speaker 1: someone has a curfew in place, where parents actually concerned
- 20:40Speaker 1: and cared about where that child is at any given moment? No,
- 20:43Speaker 1: they don't care.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Probably not.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Right, and so how do you think.
- 20:45Speaker 5: I'm going to guess not.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Let me pose this to you. No, the answer is
- 20:48Speaker 1: from them, the left, the protesters in the street, it's
- 20:51Speaker 1: a systemic problem. He's got a 9 mil at 14
- 20:55Speaker 1: because society is corrupt and racist. I don't think that
- 20:58Speaker 1: 14-year-old has any concept of societal problems broadly or at large.
- 21:03Speaker 1: They haven't even, I mean, you know, that would require
- 21:05Speaker 1: a really good long stretch of logic and reason. Why
- 21:09Speaker 1: am I packing a nine? Well, because whitey or something?
- 21:13Speaker 1: I don't know. Right. But that's the default.
- 21:16Speaker 5: They won't pay attention to where the root of the
- 21:20Speaker 5: problem is. Yeah, generally that's not the case either. So
- 21:25Speaker 5: they've been filled with a bunch of crap. People, including
- 21:29Speaker 5: their parents or one or whatever family member is supposedly
- 21:35Speaker 5: raising them, have fed them with a bunch of garbage.
- 21:38Speaker 5: Their buddies have. You know, they sit around and they
- 21:42Speaker 5: complain about the man. Whatever color that man may be,
- 21:46Speaker 5: it doesn't matter. He's a man.
- 21:48Speaker 3: No, it doesn't.
- 21:48Speaker 5: And we're not going to let the man stop us
- 21:50Speaker 5: from doing what we want. You know what? The man
- 21:52Speaker 5: needs to stop you from doing what you want because
- 21:55Speaker 5: you're an idiot. You're going to hurt yourself. You're going
- 21:57Speaker 5: to hurt somebody else. You're going to cost the people
- 22:00Speaker 5: some money. You need to be stopped. You need to
- 22:03Speaker 5: be forced to follow the rules. Unfortunately, now if you
- 22:07Speaker 5: straighten up and fly right, then you don't have to
- 22:10Speaker 5: worry about the man. You don't have to worry about accountable.
- 22:12Speaker 5: Hold yourself accountable without that one. That's too easy, Brian.
- 22:17Speaker 5: That makes too much sense.
- 22:18Speaker 1: It's critical to remind and point out at this moment
- 22:21Speaker 1: in time that the laws that are being enforced are
- 22:23Speaker 1: laws that apply to everyone, and the laws are there
- 22:26Speaker 1: to ensure we have a safe and productive society that
- 22:30Speaker 1: you run lower risk of going out and getting accosted
- 22:33Speaker 1: by some violent person. Violent person could literally be anybody.
- 22:36Speaker 1: If they accost you, if they hurt you, if they
- 22:38Speaker 1: shoot you, if they harm you, they need to be
- 22:40Speaker 1: held accountable. That rule applies to white people, black people, Asians,
- 22:43Speaker 1: people of every race, stripe, creed, ethnicity, whatever. So we
- 22:48Speaker 1: all face those problems.
- 22:50Speaker 5: I agree. I agree wholeheartedly. And, of course, something we
- 22:54Speaker 5: can all agree on is we should have a great
- 22:56Speaker 5: holiday weekend and don't vote Democrat. Have a great weekend.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Thank you, Tom. Appreciate it. Think globally. Act locally. And
- 23:05Speaker 1: the biggest problems in the world start locally. As local
- 23:07Speaker 1: as you can get, what's going on in the home?
- 23:09Speaker 3: 535.
- 23:13Speaker 1: 55K or CD Talk Station. Gut stack is stupid. We
- 23:17Speaker 1: can lighten things up a little bit going into the
- 23:19Speaker 1: top of the 6 o'clock era. I'm very much looking
- 23:21Speaker 1: forward to Tech Friday. Talk Station. Can you play John
- 23:24Speaker 1: the Fisherman? 540 on a Friday, yes. Good morning, Jeffrey.
- 23:28Speaker 1: He always chimes in in anticipation of the bumper music
- 23:31Speaker 1: because he's a primus fan like the executive producer of
- 23:33Speaker 1: this program, Joe Strecker. And he's in Toledo. Good morning,
- 23:36Speaker 1: Jeff from Toledo. Thanks for streaming the audio live on
- 23:38Speaker 1: the iHeartMedia app, my brother.
- 23:39Speaker 2: 541.
- 23:54Speaker 1: On a Friday, it's time for the Stack of Stupid. Okay,
- 23:59Speaker 1: starting out. Oh, look, naked people. Must be Friday. Thank you, Joe.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Florida naked guy. Yeah, well, no, even more so. It's
- 24:04Speaker 1: a Florida naked man. Roshan Rock is his name. I'm sorry.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Roshan Rock, Gene, 24. Facing charge of battery on a
- 24:12Speaker 1: law enforcement officer in a criminal mischief complaint. Moreau County
- 24:15Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office reporting that they were called to the neighborhood
- 24:17Speaker 1: of 52nd Street Marathon about quarter to 1 o'clock in
- 24:21Speaker 1: the afternoon because reports of a naked guy walking around
- 24:25Speaker 1: in public. They were able to eventually find this jean
- 24:28Speaker 1: guy trespassing naked in a swimming pool on private property.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Described as combative during the encounter, deputies said they had
- 24:36Speaker 1: to use a taser on him to take him to custody.
- 24:38Speaker 1: He was taken to the Fisherman's Hospital where he bit
- 24:40Speaker 1: a deputy on the arm. Unidentified deputy required medical attention
- 24:44Speaker 1: at the hospital. Second time the deputies had to deal
- 24:47Speaker 1: with this guy that same day. Earlier in the day,
- 24:50Speaker 1: they were called to a marathon business after Mr. Gene was,
- 24:54Speaker 1: he was clothed at the time, was reported to be
- 24:57Speaker 1: acting strangely. Business asked that he be trespassed from the property.
- 25:02Speaker 1: So he was removed. Naked guy. No reference to drugs, Joe.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Got a guy arrested on a felony drug charge earlier
- 25:12Speaker 1: this week. Paris, Texas police responded to report a naked
- 25:17Speaker 1: man running down the street. Officers with the Paris Police
- 25:20Speaker 1: Department dispatched after a report and located the guy in
- 25:22Speaker 1: the backyard of a residence on 12th Street. During the investigation,
- 25:25Speaker 1: officers located his clothing and discovered a glass pipe containing
- 25:30Speaker 1: less than one gram of a substance suspected to be methamphetamine.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Drugs are bad.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Amen, brother.
- 25:36Speaker 1: No reports or confirmation the drug was a methamphetamine, but
- 25:39Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and say yeah. He was arrested,
- 25:42Speaker 1: charged with possession of a controlled substance, penalty group 1-1B.
- 25:48Speaker 1: You can look that one up for yourself. Apparently that
- 25:52Speaker 1: will be less than one gram, a state jail felony,
- 25:55Speaker 1: taken to Lamar County Jail, booked and processed, in this case,
- 26:00Speaker 1: without incident. All right, real quick glance. I'm looking at
- 26:04Speaker 1: a picture of a girl. Shoulder length, long, curly hair,
- 26:10Speaker 1: female-like features, well-developed breasts, and a halter top shirt that
- 26:17Speaker 1: does suspiciously look like a mustache above the lip. But,
- 26:20Speaker 1: you know, content of the article, though, 27-year-old man found
- 26:27Speaker 1: partially naked and asleep. Not the preferred nomenclature, please. Found
- 26:34Speaker 1: partially naked and asleep inside his running vehicle. Valley Square
- 26:38Speaker 1: Boulevard in Warrington Township, Pennsylvania. Jeff Warner, the reporter. He's
- 26:45Speaker 1: now awake and facing drug possession and receiving stolen property charges.
- 26:49Speaker 1: According to the Warrington Township Police. Happened at early August,
- 26:54Speaker 1: quarter to 11 p.m. Officer found a vehicle stopped in
- 26:57Speaker 1: the boulevard with its hazard lights on, blocking the lane
- 27:00Speaker 1: of travel. Red flag a bit. Officer approached the vehicle,
- 27:04Speaker 1: found 27-year-old Israel Fortin of Miami asleep in the driver's seat.
- 27:09Speaker 1: The vehicle wasn't running, but his pants were down below
- 27:12Speaker 1: his knees, completely exposing his genitalia.
- 27:16Speaker 3: As is tradition.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Officer had to wake up this guy who said that
- 27:21Speaker 1: he had struck the curb, suffered a flat tire, and
- 27:23Speaker 1: was waiting for a tow truck. Upon investigation, the officer
- 27:27Speaker 1: observed a clear baggie containing a rock-like substance and two
- 27:30Speaker 1: glass pipes with burnt residue inside the vehicle. Investigation revealed
- 27:35Speaker 1: that Fortin had $ 2, 139. 92 worth of merchandise inside his car
- 27:42Speaker 1: that was reported stolen from the Best Buy the day before.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Processed and released, charged with receiving stolen property, third-degree felony,
- 27:50Speaker 1: and misdemeanor drug offense. Yeah, I guess that is a guy.
- 27:56Speaker 1: That's a deceptive-looking guy, though, I gotta say.
- 27:58Speaker 8: The aristocrat.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Didn't the Kinks sing a song about that?
- 28:02Speaker 9: Lola?
- 28:02Speaker 1: That was about that, too. We're going way back in time.
- 28:05Speaker 1: 545-55-KRC-D Talk Station. C-D Talk Station. 550-55-KRC-D Talk Station. Jumping
- 28:18Speaker 1: back in. This stack is stupid. Filled with naked people,
- 28:24Speaker 1: as is typical on a Friday. Go to Burlington, North Carolina.
- 28:26Speaker 1: We've got a guy facing numerous charges. Burlington Police Department.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Got a call 7 p.m. Sunday. Why? Naked guy on
- 28:33Speaker 1: a Springwood Park, or rather in Springwood Park. Specifically, Miguel
- 28:40Speaker 1: Angel Meniz, 48 years old, found trespassing next to a
- 28:44Speaker 1: soccer field in view of minors participating in activities at
- 28:47Speaker 1: the soccer field. Fortunately, no physical contact reported. He's been
- 28:53Speaker 1: charged with felony indecent exposure, felony indecent liberties with a child.
- 28:59Speaker 1: and transporting an open container of alcohol in a vehicle.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Officers said Muniz is indefinitely trespassed from all city of
- 29:07Speaker 1: Burlington parks and remains on the Guilford County Detention Center,
- 29:10Speaker 1: or in, rather, with no bond due to the nature
- 29:13Speaker 1: of charges. Court records say he still has an active
- 29:16Speaker 1: indecent exposure case in which he was arrested by police
- 29:18Speaker 1: previously in June of this year for exposing himself to
- 29:21Speaker 1: a woman at a gas station in Burlington. He posted
- 29:26Speaker 1: a $ 2, 500 bond the first day of his arrest on
- 29:27Speaker 1: that charge, so he's out doing it again. Burlington Police
- 29:31Speaker 1: Department actively investigating the incident. Anybody with information their request
- 29:35Speaker 1: to call the Burlington Police Department. Go to Maine, where
- 29:43Speaker 1: a naked man with a golf club was dancing around
- 29:46Speaker 1: the Nubble Island Lighthouse, damaging the iconic lighthouse. Why are
- 29:53Speaker 1: you doing that? I think we'll never find out about
- 29:55Speaker 1: this one. Described as unidentified... His name wasn't made public.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Trespassing at the Cape Nettick Lighthouse, a.k.a. Nubble Light, that
- 30:05Speaker 1: quarter after 6 p.m. on Tuesday. York Police Department said
- 30:09Speaker 1: he was naked and armed with a golf club described
- 30:15Speaker 1: as dancing around the island and damaging part of the lighthouse.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Police took him into custody. No incident brought him into
- 30:20Speaker 1: a hospital for a mental health evaluation. The man had
- 30:23Speaker 1: recently been asked to leave several York establishments because of disruptive,
- 30:27Speaker 1: although not criminal, behavior. Law enforcement in Jones County. Where
- 30:37Speaker 1: is this? Anyway, said it recovered 10 firearms and devices
- 30:41Speaker 1: to make guns. Automatic. Glock switches, probably. After pulling over
- 30:47Speaker 1: a vehicle operated by, what day is it? A naked woman.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Ellisville Police Department reported officers stopped the vehicle on Hill Street.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Noticing the female driver was driving really slowly and erratically.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Woman identified as 22-year-old Caitlin Maxwell pulled over. Police then
- 31:05Speaker 1: noted she was completely nude and that several modified firearms
- 31:09Speaker 1: were in the automobile with her. I don't know if
- 31:10Speaker 1: they can necessarily determine the firearm was modified just by
- 31:13Speaker 1: looking at them, but there they are laying right there.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Narcotic specialists were called to the scene as well. Sergeant J.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Smith speaking with the news. I got a call from
- 31:23Speaker 1: patrol that Ellisville had made a traffic stop on a
- 31:25Speaker 1: naked female. She was butt naked. Is it butt or
- 31:30Speaker 1: buck naked?
- 31:31Speaker 3: Phrasing.
- 31:33Speaker 1: I'm still out on that one. Anyway, in his mind,
- 31:35Speaker 1: it's butt naked. Anyway, she was butt naked when they
- 31:38Speaker 1: pulled her over. She was holding a glass can and
- 31:40Speaker 1: they smelled odor of marijuana, which ultimately led to the
- 31:42Speaker 1: search of the vehicle when they found several firearms believed
- 31:45Speaker 1: to have been modified. Authorities at the scene reported they
- 31:48Speaker 1: began questioning her about the firearms, leading officials to obtain
- 31:51Speaker 1: a search warrant for the suspected boyfriend, 24-year-old Sean Cooley.
- 31:58Speaker 1: They went to his house to execute the warrant. He
- 32:00Speaker 1: was not there when police showed up. They remained on
- 32:02Speaker 1: the location until he did show up He was then
- 32:05Speaker 1: arrested with deputies noting that he was possessing a pistol.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Phrasing.
- 32:12Speaker 1: That was a stretch, Joe. If it said gun, I'd... Anyway.
- 32:18Speaker 1: And finally. British gym teacher had sex with her teenage
- 32:22Speaker 1: student while watching the Wimbledon tennis match.
- 32:27Speaker 3: What?
- 32:27Speaker 1: Bronwyn James, she's 30. And really shouldn't be messing around
- 32:32Speaker 1: with a 16-year-old. I'm just looking at the mugshot. I
- 32:35Speaker 1: think she has other options with ripe men. Anyway, here
- 32:40Speaker 1: we are at it again. And the vehicle for this one,
- 32:43Speaker 1: parents out there, Snapchat. 30-year-old allegedly sparked what they called
- 32:48Speaker 1: a flirtatious relationship with a 16-year-old boy, messaging him on
- 32:52Speaker 1: Snapchat to arrange for hookups. This is in the UK.
- 32:55Speaker 1: Student also claims that the accused woman, his teacher, liked
- 32:58Speaker 1: him to call her miss when they were alone together.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Crown Prosecution Service claims that the woman, Educator Witcher is
- 33:10Speaker 1: her last name, engaged in a sexually charged relationship with
- 33:13Speaker 1: the 16-year-old, declaring that she loved him and wanted to
- 33:16Speaker 1: move away together with him. James, working as a physical
- 33:20Speaker 1: education teacher in the school in Southampton, England, routinely allowed
- 33:24Speaker 1: students to use mobile phones during class, which is when
- 33:26Speaker 1: the boy first begged her for her Snapchat handle, which
- 33:29Speaker 1: she said no to initially because it was against the rules.
- 33:33Speaker 1: So while she initially refused his attempts, ultimately they started
- 33:36Speaker 1: texting each other on Snapchat. And then, of course, the
- 33:39Speaker 1: messages became flirtatious. They met up, started kissing in the car.
- 33:45Speaker 1: And I guess at her place, the Wimbledon tennis match
- 33:47Speaker 1: was on at the time of the original or some
- 33:50Speaker 1: of the assaults. They started watching TV before kissing and
- 33:52Speaker 1: touching each other. According to the young boy, she took
- 33:54Speaker 1: her clothes off and then he took his clothes off
- 33:57Speaker 1: and then proceeded to have unprotected sex.
- 33:59Speaker 3: As is tradition.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Of course.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Victim initially thought the relationship was, in his words, good,
- 34:05Speaker 1: but now realizes, given the prosecution, I imagine, that James
- 34:08Speaker 1: was grooming him. She denied the allegations and gave a
- 34:11Speaker 1: prepared statement to court. She was in trial at the
- 34:16Speaker 1: time of the reporting from the New York Post on
- 34:18Speaker 1: this story. Who is educating your children? 556-55KRC, the talk station.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Friday.
- 34:33Speaker 3: 513-749-5500. 800-823-TALK.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Pound 550 on AT & T phones. Tech Friday with
- 34:35Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. Would you get into a Waymo in downtown Cincinnati?
- 34:38Speaker 1: Driverless taxi cab. We'll also talk about body cams showing
- 34:41Speaker 1: Arkansas parents... handcuffed with a one-month-old, this after, yes, flock
- 34:47Speaker 1: camera misread a license plate. There's a concern. There's one
- 34:50Speaker 1: instance where flock cameras have been abused, misused, or inadvertently misused.
- 34:56Speaker 3: One.
- 34:57Speaker 1: I'm going back to this, and I'm not a huge
- 34:59Speaker 1: fan of the surveillance state. Trust me on that. But,
- 35:01Speaker 1: you know, I'm also wise enough to move back from
- 35:04Speaker 1: just flock cameras and see that we live in a
- 35:07Speaker 1: surveillance state. Flock cameras, like the tiniest little slice of
- 35:11Speaker 1: all the camera surveillance we're under. The outrage has been amazing,
- 35:15Speaker 1: and it is a coordinated effort, which has resulted in
- 35:18Speaker 1: agreement across political ideologies. My libertarian privacy advocate friends out
- 35:24Speaker 1: there aligning with the interests of the Chinese Communist Party. Yeah,
- 35:26Speaker 1: and that's all broken down in this Fox News article
- 35:29Speaker 1: from Asra Nomani. No king's protest network behind fight against
- 35:33Speaker 1: AI data centers and flock cameras. And I'll Double down
- 35:37Speaker 1: on the point I made last hour. Listen, if there's
- 35:39Speaker 1: one issue of abuse, one officer misreading or misusing or
- 35:43Speaker 1: abusing the flock camera, that's a bad thing, which shouldn't happen.
- 35:46Speaker 1: We should put processes in place that protect that from happening.
- 35:49Speaker 1: There are already rules for the police officers. Wow, we
- 35:52Speaker 1: live in an imperfect world. People break the rules.
- 35:54Speaker 5: Really?
- 35:56Speaker 1: I didn't know that. But you throw the baby out
- 35:58Speaker 1: with the bathwater. In this particular case, that's what everyone
- 36:01Speaker 1: seems to be doing. Charmaine McGuffey stopping the flock cameras
- 36:04Speaker 1: from being used. They have been shut down. And her
- 36:07Speaker 1: argument is Flock needs to become clean about who it's
- 36:11Speaker 1: selling the data to or needs to be prevented from
- 36:13Speaker 1: selling the data. Lots of different things that Flock could
- 36:15Speaker 1: do to give people some level or measure of comfort
- 36:18Speaker 1: because the images could be abused or the information could
- 36:22Speaker 1: be abused by the officers that have access to it.
- 36:24Speaker 1: But apparently Flock also can perhaps take the information they've
- 36:27Speaker 1: taken from your cameras and sell to people out in
- 36:30Speaker 1: the world. Where's the outrage over voter fraud? That's the
- 36:36Speaker 1: thing that really pisses me off this moment in time
- 36:39Speaker 1: is because outrage. One single abuse incident by one officer
- 36:44Speaker 1: in some single municipality with flock cameras is then the
- 36:48Speaker 1: poster child for why you need to eliminate them completely.
- 36:52Speaker 1: One or a handful in any way. It's not even
- 36:56Speaker 1: something that registers, is it? It's hardly a thing that
- 36:59Speaker 1: we need to be concerned about. Yes, there are instances
- 37:02Speaker 1: where illegal immigrants have voted in federal elections, but it
- 37:05Speaker 1: happens so infrequently that we don't need to do anything
- 37:09Speaker 1: about it. Why are you so concerned when it's such
- 37:11Speaker 1: an infrequent occurrence? Because it's the integrity of the American elections.
- 37:15Speaker 1: If it can be done and you find one illustration
- 37:18Speaker 1: of it, it could be happening all over the place.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Anybody done a thorough deep dive into how people vote
- 37:23Speaker 1: and trace the voting and who would, you know, all
- 37:26Speaker 1: the arguments?
- 37:28Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 37:30Speaker 1: From the left on that one, of course, because, you know,
- 37:32Speaker 1: illegal voting and voting and lack of, you know, a solid, reliable,
- 37:37Speaker 1: bulletproof voting system means the people that might vote for
- 37:40Speaker 1: them aren't going to be able to vote anymore. That
- 37:41Speaker 1: point is obvious as well. I mean, who's screaming about
- 37:44Speaker 1: not fixing the holes and the problems in the system
- 37:47Speaker 1: that we have found in elections? The left. So why
- 37:52Speaker 1: is it the left that's ganging up on flock cameras
- 37:54Speaker 1: and artificial intelligence? Therein is the nefarious component. They have
- 37:57Speaker 1: just started linking. It's been, it, And this is crazy.
- 38:00Speaker 1: And as the report points out, it's like three phases.
- 38:03Speaker 1: It's like the underpants gnome. Name of the study, the
- 38:06Speaker 1: compute war at home. They talk about the first phase.
- 38:08Speaker 1: In their estimation, it started January 2025 with Trump's inauguration
- 38:12Speaker 1: and the launch of the Tesla takedown demonstrations. Remember Elon Musk?
- 38:17Speaker 1: He's trying to ferret out and get rid of fraud, waste,
- 38:19Speaker 1: and abuse. Doge. We found out where all kinds of
- 38:22Speaker 1: billions of our taxpayer dollars are going out into the
- 38:25Speaker 1: world and funding something that is or programs that you
- 38:28Speaker 1: couldn't even make an argument in favor of, and yet
- 38:30Speaker 1: there it is, shrimp on treadmills, among other things. They
- 38:35Speaker 1: got angry about that. The lifeline for their left-wing organizations
- 38:39Speaker 1: was found out. Elon Musk was the poster child. Let's
- 38:42Speaker 1: torch Tesla automobiles. Phase one.
- 38:51Speaker 2: It became.
- 38:53Speaker 1: in the analysis conclusions, a mobilization infrastructure built around no
- 39:00Speaker 1: kings and hands off the anti-Trump protests. So, you know,
- 39:05Speaker 1: you're done protesting Trump. He's in office. There's nothing you
- 39:08Speaker 1: can do about it. Pivot. It's time to pivot. Take
- 39:11Speaker 1: this group of collective leftist organizations who we got to
- 39:15Speaker 1: join hands for the purposes of demonizing Elon Musk, and
- 39:18Speaker 1: let's pivot over to the second phase, shifting that protest
- 39:22Speaker 1: infrastructure toward American technological infrastructure.
- 39:26Speaker 2: AI.
- 39:27Speaker 1: See, it's easy to link AI and flock cameras isn't
- 39:30Speaker 1: it they must be connected ai bad for a lot
- 39:32Speaker 1: of reasons i admit but what ai is bad is
- 39:36Speaker 1: bad about and the things it can do that we
- 39:38Speaker 1: all are angry and upset about has nothing to do
- 39:40Speaker 1: with building a data center which is just a vehicle
- 39:43Speaker 1: to have ai work but it doesn't matter In the
- 39:47Speaker 1: fog of online protests, people get easily influenced, so you
- 39:50Speaker 1: pivot over to protesting America's technological infrastructure. And this is
- 39:56Speaker 1: so strange for me. Remember Code Pink, the peahat-wearing folks
- 39:59Speaker 1: protesting Donald Trump for, well, talking about some rather untoward statements, but,
- 40:04Speaker 1: you know, guys can be guys when they're alone in
- 40:07Speaker 1: a forum that sometimes provides an impetus for perhaps untoward
- 40:12Speaker 1: comments since nobody else is listening to you. Those comments
- 40:14Speaker 1: might get out in public and form the basis for
- 40:17Speaker 1: women running around with peahats on. Code Pink has developed
- 40:24Speaker 1: a national campaign against data centers. Whoops, I guess we
- 40:27Speaker 1: ran out of issues. Let's pivot. They took approximately 70
- 40:31Speaker 1: chapters of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and they
- 40:36Speaker 1: paired their messaging and now are advancing these coordinated strategies.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Liberation News, another leftist organization, specifically a newspaper for the
- 40:46Speaker 1: Party for Socialism and Liberation, nationalized local victories promoting moratoria, bans,
- 40:56Speaker 1: and cancellation of data centers. Phase three, an ideological crossover
- 41:01Speaker 1: in which now flock cameras have become the bridge between
- 41:04Speaker 1: local privacy and policing concerns and the national fight over
- 41:08Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, cloud systems, energy, and data centers. Behind all this,
- 41:14Speaker 1: Neville Roy Singham, in bed with the Chinese Communist Party.
- 41:17Speaker 1: He's a huge fan, and he is funding all these organizations.
- 41:21Speaker 1: And I love that the Chinese want us to get
- 41:24Speaker 1: rid of flock cameras, that they want to get rid
- 41:26Speaker 1: of AI data centers, that they want to, like, nix
- 41:29Speaker 1: the surveillance state. This is the desires of the Chinese
- 41:31Speaker 1: Communist Party, who have built the largest, most Orwellian, Orwellian
- 41:36Speaker 1: couldn't have come up with it in his wildest dreams,
- 41:38Speaker 1: surveillance state. You are watched 24-7. You have no privacy rights.
- 41:45Speaker 1: There is no Fourth Amendment right to be free of
- 41:48Speaker 1: unreasonable searches and seizures. They do and take whatever the
- 41:50Speaker 1: hell they want. And here they are ginning up adversary
- 41:53Speaker 1: and opposition to the same thing that they have created
- 41:56Speaker 1: on a state level, mind you. At least Flock is
- 41:58Speaker 1: a capitalist entity trying to make a buck providing a
- 42:01Speaker 1: product that actually does help solve crimes. Even Charmaine McGuffey,
- 42:05Speaker 1: in shutting down the Flock system as we head into
- 42:08Speaker 1: Riverfest weekend, timing, is that good timing? Couldn't this decision
- 42:12Speaker 1: have waited until Monday? Even if you agree that if
- 42:15Speaker 1: you think that flock sucks, Dave Hatter does. He doesn't
- 42:18Speaker 1: like it. I get it. He's a civil libertarian like me.
- 42:23Speaker 1: But is this decision of so much urgency that she
- 42:29Speaker 1: did it in front of the busiest weekend the city
- 42:32Speaker 1: of Cincinnati is probably going to see? It's the anniversary
- 42:35Speaker 1: of the fireworks. It's described as the biggest one that
- 42:38Speaker 1: has ever been done in downtown with two giant drone exhibitions,
- 42:43Speaker 1: which will probably hopefully freak you out, too. Half a
- 42:47Speaker 1: million or more people are going to be down there.
- 42:49Speaker 1: No more fly cameras. And, you know, Bobby predicted in
- 42:51Speaker 1: his over and under for the weekend, and I know
- 42:53Speaker 1: it's a joke. It's a tongue-in-cheek thing he does every
- 42:55Speaker 1: week on a Thursday. He said one. That's the lowest
- 42:58Speaker 1: number he sort of concluded was going to happen. One
- 42:59Speaker 1: act of violence in the greater Cincinnati area over the weekend.
- 43:02Speaker 1: I think he was trying to be optimistic for the
- 43:03Speaker 1: purpose of putting a smile on our face and maybe
- 43:05Speaker 1: trying to get people to appreciate the fact that they
- 43:08Speaker 1: actually can go downtown and enjoy themselves and probably will
- 43:10Speaker 1: not be victims of crime. But I wonder if he'd
- 43:14Speaker 1: revise his prediction. Since I know about it, the city
- 43:22Speaker 1: knows about it, the county knows about it, there won't
- 43:24Speaker 1: be any flock cameras operating over this extraordinarily busy weekend,
- 43:29Speaker 1: where I would imagine the reduced contingent of law enforcement
- 43:32Speaker 1: officers will be heavily concentrated in downtown Cincinnati in the
- 43:36Speaker 1: business district and around the fireworks gathering. Of course they
- 43:39Speaker 1: will be. That's where all the people are going to be.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Anybody else live in the other neighborhoods in the city
- 43:44Speaker 1: of Cincinnati that may be lacking in police presence? What
- 43:50Speaker 1: if there's a 911 call? Just asking out loud. I
- 43:55Speaker 1: kind of can see this thing unfolding, and I hope
- 43:59Speaker 1: it doesn't, at least along those lines. 616, Rick, I
- 44:02Speaker 1: will take your call in a moment. Very, very happy Friday.
- 44:06Speaker 1: Three-day weekend for a lot of folks, me included. Big weekend, too.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Riverfest Sunday.
- 44:14Speaker 3: David?
- 44:17Speaker 1: He's happy about the weather forecast, as am I. I'm
- 44:19Speaker 1: happy that Rick stayed on the hold over the break. 513-749-5500, 800-823-TALK. Hey, Rick,
- 44:24Speaker 1: welcome to the Friday morning show.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Rick?
- 44:30Speaker 8: Hello, Brian.
- 44:31Speaker 3: Yes.
- 44:34Speaker 9: It just cracks me up. They're talking about shutting these
- 44:37Speaker 9: streets down to prevent crime. It almost sounds like Amy
- 44:44Speaker 9: Atkin shutting the state down.
- 44:50Speaker 1: That's a parallel I didn't think of, Rick. Thank you
- 44:52Speaker 1: for the chuckle.
- 44:54Speaker 9: Well, I'm glad I could make your day, my friend.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Everybody makes my day, Rick. Just getting a phone call
- 44:59Speaker 1: from you makes my day. I hope you have a
- 45:00Speaker 1: wonderful weekend, brother. Astute observation. Okay. It didn't work for
- 45:06Speaker 1: COVID either, did it?
- 45:08Speaker 9: Nice.
- 45:14Speaker 1: And let me just express some criticism. Yes, occasionally I
- 45:17Speaker 1: do criticize Donald Trump because I wonder what in the
- 45:19Speaker 1: hell he's thinking. I'm not an always Trumper, and it
- 45:24Speaker 1: really irks some of my Trump friends out there, and
- 45:26Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but what is with his endorsing a tax
- 45:29Speaker 1: subsidy for Hollywood? Completely unrelated to everything else that's going
- 45:33Speaker 1: on in the world. Maybe one of the lesser problems
- 45:34Speaker 1: going on in the world, but I'm puzzled by this.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Congress should approve immediately a federal production incentive, initial cap
- 45:42Speaker 1: on that, to create entertainment jobs in America. It can
- 45:46Speaker 1: be done quickly, accurately, efficiently, and importantly, will benefit, all
- 45:49Speaker 1: in caps, all of America. What we watch on the
- 45:53Speaker 1: silver screen should be made in what was once the
- 45:55Speaker 1: movie and motion picture capital of the world, i.e.
- 45:59Speaker 3: Hollywood.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Using the Tax Code to Manipulate Behavior. Why
- 46:04Speaker 1: would you give a handout for the left-wing nutjobs who
- 46:07Speaker 1: do nothing but produce left-wing propaganda in a left-wing city,
- 46:10Speaker 1: in a left-wing state that has.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Getting into FCC noncompliant territory in my head, folks. And
- 46:22Speaker 1: a union town, too, as the Journal observed. It'll prop
- 46:24Speaker 1: up industry unions which obstruct labor agreements that make the U.S.
- 46:27Speaker 1: a less attractive place to shoot TV shows and movies.
- 46:31Speaker 1: And that damn taxation system and that pesky levying of
- 46:34Speaker 1: income tax. Boy, we've got to get rid of that.
- 46:35Speaker 1: We've got to give them incentive. Incentive to produce movies in, yes, Hollywood.
- 46:43Speaker 1: And of course, the industry is changing. I understand that.
- 46:45Speaker 1: Movie ticket sales apparently down 40% since 2019. Making movies
- 46:49Speaker 1: is more challenging for studios because of artificial intelligence, the
- 46:52Speaker 1: idea that you can take your own video camera out,
- 46:55Speaker 1: really sophisticated cameras these days readily available to the general public,
- 46:59Speaker 1: and make your own movie. You got all kinds of
- 47:01Speaker 1: states out there also engaging in a bit of cronyism,
- 47:04Speaker 1: I guess, incentivizing movie production in their particular states, offering
- 47:08Speaker 1: these incentives, which is Obviously, if you're a movie producer
- 47:11Speaker 1: and you can maybe make a movie in Georgia as
- 47:14Speaker 1: opposed to Hollywood, it's still in the United States. We're
- 47:17Speaker 1: still benefiting from the tax dollars there. Georgia just doesn't
- 47:19Speaker 1: get as much because they've given them incentive to produce there. Hey,
- 47:22Speaker 1: we can make more money if we go there. Right.
- 47:26Speaker 1: This is a guy's Trump's point. The subsidies are a
- 47:33Speaker 1: form of income redistribution to a politically favored industry and
- 47:37Speaker 1: not a poor one. New York last year, it spent
- 47:43Speaker 1: $ 1. 2 billion on production subsidies, described as more than twice
- 47:47Speaker 1: as the revenue generated by its congestion tax on drivers
- 47:51Speaker 1: entering Manhattan's business district. So benefit Hollywood, give them a
- 47:55Speaker 1: big break, and it comes at the expense of everyday
- 47:58Speaker 1: human being driving around in Manhattan. Great. Wall Street Journal. Questions.
- 48:06Speaker 1: We wonder if Mr. Trump knows that the main champion
- 48:09Speaker 1: of Hollywood handouts in Congress is California Senator Adam Schiff, Mr.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Impeachment of Donald Trump. Press reports say Paramount Skydance CEO
- 48:20Speaker 1: David Ellison also lobbied for this corporate welfare. Why should
- 48:25Speaker 1: taxpayers underwrite Mr. Ellison's business or Jeffrey Katzenberg's films? Question mark.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. Agreed. I don't get it. Someone explain
- 48:39Speaker 1: that one to me. How about maybe additional tax breaks
- 48:43Speaker 1: for everyday Americans? How about getting rid of the damn
- 48:45Speaker 1: tax code with all of its incentivizations and its pesky,
- 48:49Speaker 1: you know, dangling carrots, getting free American corporations who wouldn't
- 48:53Speaker 1: generally make business decisions based upon their bottom line interest,
- 48:56Speaker 1: which means shareholder interest. Get the hell out of the way.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Flat tax, no dangling carrots of incentive, no write-offs, no deductions.
- 49:08Speaker 1: No favoritism. You would watch the world. Lobbyists would go
- 49:11Speaker 1: out of business. Maybe that's the reason we have one.
- 49:14Speaker 1: And accounting firms. 626, 55KRC, the talk station. ShareFax Credit Union,
- 49:18Speaker 1: a better way to bank. ShareFax. It is 630, 55KRC,
- 49:23Speaker 1: the talk station. It is that time of week. Appointment,
- 49:26Speaker 1: listening without question. Tech Friday with Dave Adder. Brought to
- 49:29Speaker 1: you by Interest IT. Find them online at interestit.com. Businesses
- 49:32Speaker 1: obviously need the professionals in Interest IT for all their
- 49:35Speaker 1: computer needs and needs. problems, things do crop up. Welcome back,
- 49:39Speaker 1: Dave Hatter. Thank you for sponsoring the segment with your company,
- 49:42Speaker 1: and congratulations by being identified by the Cincinnati Business Courier
- 49:45Speaker 1: as the best in the business.
- 49:47Speaker 3: Thanks, Brian. Always good to be here.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I know we're going to talk about Waymo downtown. My
- 49:51Speaker 1: wife will not get into one. I asked her about
- 49:53Speaker 1: that the other day when I read that article. But
- 49:54Speaker 1: real quick here, I'm sure you saw it. China-linked cyber
- 49:58Speaker 1: espionage group apparently compromised Cisco routers which allowed them to
- 50:03Speaker 1: monitor traffic through the devices and use them to probe
- 50:06Speaker 1: other high-value networks. They compromised the systems and, of course,
- 50:10Speaker 1: the network administrator's information, which logged into the routers and
- 50:14Speaker 1: other equipment. So this has been a– I guess Cisco
- 50:16Speaker 1: routers are, like, ubiquitous, aren't they?
- 50:19Speaker 3: Yeah, Cisco is one of the largest network infrastructure companies
- 50:23Speaker 3: out there and, frankly, has been for a really long time. Many,
- 50:26Speaker 3: many companies use Cisco equipment, so– I mean, if you
- 50:31Speaker 3: think about it, and this is the sort of thing
- 50:32Speaker 3: you and I have now been talking about for many years, Brian,
- 50:36Speaker 3: all of this infrastructure that we have that makes all
- 50:40Speaker 3: of this work. And I don't mean critical infrastructure like
- 50:42Speaker 3: the electric grid, although it now relies on this sort
- 50:45Speaker 3: of technology to work, right? Devices talk to each other.
- 50:49Speaker 3: I'm always on here talking about the Internet of Things
- 50:51Speaker 3: and how everything is digital and has software and is interconnected. Well,
- 50:55Speaker 3: it relies on equipment from people like Cisco and Fortinet.
- 50:59Speaker 3: and SonicWall and Dell and others, right? So if you're
- 51:05Speaker 3: an adversarial nation state attacker and you can figure out
- 51:08Speaker 3: how to compromise these devices, or frankly, you can just
- 51:13Speaker 3: build your own devices that people use because they don't
- 51:16Speaker 3: understand the risks. Our government has been warning about this
- 51:20Speaker 3: sort of equipment coming from places like China. The potential
- 51:26Speaker 3: for eavesdropping, the potential for stealing trade secrets and military secrets,
- 51:31Speaker 3: the potential for literally just causing chaos because you could
- 51:35Speaker 3: potentially turn the devices off. You could make them misbehave,
- 51:41Speaker 3: for lack of a better description. Like I remind folks, Stuxnet.
- 51:45Speaker 3: Stuxnet is an example of this. back many years ago, someone,
- 51:50Speaker 3: and I use that term loosely.
- 51:51Speaker 1: The Israeli government attacked the centrifuges and blew them up
- 51:56Speaker 1: in the Iranian nuclear weapons enrichment facilities. Yes, that's a
- 51:59Speaker 1: great illustration. Dave, let me cut to the chase on this.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Are Cisco routers used in our electric grid, perhaps?
- 52:06Speaker 3: Probably.
- 52:07Speaker 1: Okay, that's enough. Probably is good enough. Okay, there you go.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Probably is good enough. I mean, I And this is
- 52:13Speaker 1: just Cisco routers. How many forms of nefarious intrusion activity
- 52:17Speaker 1: and hacking into sensitive infrastructure-like related systems has the Chinese
- 52:22Speaker 1: Communist Party been engaged in?
- 52:24Speaker 2: A lot, right?
- 52:25Speaker 3: A lot. And it's China, it's Russia, it's North Korea,
- 52:30Speaker 3: it's Iran. It's criminal actors. And frankly, I just keep
- 52:39Speaker 3: saying this over and over, we have got to get serious.
- 52:41Speaker 3: about spending the money to protect this infrastructure, both the
- 52:46Speaker 3: networking infrastructure that powers all the infrastructure and the critical
- 52:50Speaker 3: infrastructure itself, because eventually, even if they don't mean to
- 52:54Speaker 3: do it, someone is going to do something that brings
- 52:58Speaker 3: this stuff down. I'm very concerned someday they're going to
- 53:02Speaker 3: flip the switch and just turn something off. But even
- 53:05Speaker 3: if they don't mean to do it, it could be,
- 53:07Speaker 3: you know, you plant some kind of backdoor in these
- 53:10Speaker 3: things and then someone makes a mistake that turns it off.
- 53:12Speaker 9: It's.
- 53:14Speaker 1: It's scary. Do you think the potential for death global,
- 53:19Speaker 1: whether it's from aftermath of violence and looting and craziness
- 53:22Speaker 1: going on, or maybe simply because respirators get shut off,
- 53:25Speaker 1: if the power to shut off, if an EMP blew
- 53:28Speaker 1: up and the entire power shuts off for 80 percent
- 53:30Speaker 1: of the great United States, do you, as I believe,
- 53:32Speaker 1: think that will result in more deaths? then perhaps the
- 53:35Speaker 1: bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
- 53:39Speaker 3: Well, I don't think you have to think what you
- 53:42Speaker 3: or I think about it. You can go out and
- 53:43Speaker 3: see congressional testimony and so forth on EMP attacks. You
- 53:47Speaker 3: can read the book one second after. Now, it's a novel.
- 53:50Speaker 3: There's a movie coming out about it. But this whole
- 53:52Speaker 3: idea of electromagnetic pulse is a scientific fact. Yes. And
- 53:56Speaker 3: if you set off low-grade nuclear weapons at the right height,
- 54:00Speaker 3: you can literally knock out all of the power in
- 54:02Speaker 3: the United States or somewhere close to it. I mean,
- 54:04Speaker 3: I don't think anyone can say for sure.
- 54:06Speaker 1: As an act of war or leading up to war,
- 54:08Speaker 1: disabling the infrastructure for all electricity. That would be a non-kinetic,
- 54:12Speaker 1: not like a bomb blowing off. There wouldn't be the
- 54:14Speaker 1: visual carnage in the first several days. It would unfold.
- 54:18Speaker 1: But no one's ever tried that on a mass scale before,
- 54:20Speaker 1: have they, Dave? No one ever tried dropping a bomb
- 54:22Speaker 1: before World War II. Hey, it's new. We tried it out.
- 54:25Speaker 2: It worked.
- 54:26Speaker 1: But no one's done it since. And we now are
- 54:29Speaker 1: accused of being guilty of genocide. But all that in this,
- 54:32Speaker 1: it took decades before we sort of reflected on the
- 54:35Speaker 1: profound realities of that type of weapon blowing up. We
- 54:38Speaker 1: all kind of collectively realize across this great planet of
- 54:41Speaker 1: ours that no one was going to be using nukes
- 54:43Speaker 1: as a first strike because of mutually assured destruction. Dave,
- 54:46Speaker 1: no one's ever tried an EMP before. Someone's going to
- 54:49Speaker 1: try it first, and then we'll all judge in the
- 54:51Speaker 1: aftermath of history who was right in using it or not.
- 54:54Speaker 1: That's what scares the hell out of me.
- 54:56Speaker 3: I'm with you, Brian. I mean, here's a report, High-Altitude
- 54:59Speaker 3: Electromagnetic Pulse Waveform Application Guide from the Department of Energy, right?
- 55:05Speaker 3: And it explains how something like this could work. The
- 55:08Speaker 3: detonation of a nuclear weapon at a high altitude or
- 55:10Speaker 3: in space can generate an electromagnetic pulse referred to as
- 55:13Speaker 3: a high-altitude EMP or HEMP that consists of three components.
- 55:17Speaker 3: And then they break down what these three components, E1, E2,
- 55:20Speaker 3: and E3 do. This is from the Department of Energy.
- 55:24Speaker 3: You know, this isn't some doomsday prepper type stuff. This
- 55:27Speaker 3: is from the Department of Energy. And, you know, the
- 55:28Speaker 3: same search, when I search for this, so it says
- 55:31Speaker 3: that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has a page
- 55:34Speaker 3: on EMP. You know, it can have the potential, I'm
- 55:37Speaker 3: reading from their page, to damage significant portions of the
- 55:40Speaker 3: nation's critical infrastructure, including the electric grid, communications equipment, water
- 55:44Speaker 3: and wastewater systems, and transportation modes. But, you know, I
- 55:47Speaker 3: don't necessarily even need to set off an EMP if
- 55:52Speaker 3: I can just basically infiltrate all of your equipment.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Like through the Cisco routers, for example.
- 55:58Speaker 9: Yes.
- 55:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. That's kind of where I was going, Dave.
- 56:01Speaker 1: I'm sorry to go down that avenue, but this is just,
- 56:04Speaker 1: this is, you've been talking about this for years and years.
- 56:07Speaker 1: And finally, I guess our government's waking up to the
- 56:09Speaker 1: challenges we face. And here we go. Yet one more
- 56:11Speaker 1: illustration of embedded, dangerous, nefarious technology. CCP software that could
- 56:18Speaker 1: do exactly what we're talking about right now without an EMP.
- 56:21Speaker 1: 637 right now. Don't go away. More talk about including, yes,
- 56:24Speaker 1: flock cameras for Dave Hatter. He's not a fan. Talk station.
- 56:27Speaker 2: 641-55-KRCD.

- 56:33Speaker 1: the job for your business computer needs. And tune in
- 56:35Speaker 1: every week for this segment. And if you're over in
- 56:37Speaker 1: Fort Wright, he's the mayor of your town and you
- 56:39Speaker 1: don't have flock cameras. And so we just had the
- 56:41Speaker 1: announcement from Charmaine McGuffey here in Hamilton County. She has
- 56:43Speaker 1: shut them down for her own reasons. I found the
- 56:46Speaker 1: timing rather interesting, Dave, even though you don't like flaw cameras,
- 56:48Speaker 1: that she shut them down in advance of one of
- 56:50Speaker 1: the busiest days in downtown Cincinnati coming up on Riverfest.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Odd timing. I don't know what the urgency was for that,
- 56:57Speaker 1: but that raises question marks in my mind. But how
- 56:59Speaker 1: does it feel, Dave Hatter, my civil libertarian when it
- 57:02Speaker 1: comes to privacy rights friend, to be in bed with
- 57:04Speaker 1: Code Pink and... Socialist and Liberation Campaign, the People's Forum,
- 57:10Speaker 1: Answer Coalition, all these other leftist groups which are aligned
- 57:13Speaker 1: with Neville Roy Singham and the Chinese Communist Party in
- 57:15Speaker 1: the fight against flock cameras and AI in our country.
- 57:18Speaker 1: Politics and privacy rights make strange bedfellows, Dave.
- 57:22Speaker 3: It has been interesting to see how different groups of
- 57:27Speaker 3: people who would typically be opposed to each other have
- 57:29Speaker 3: aligned around this mass surveillance thing. You know, I'm People
- 57:34Speaker 3: are now fixated on the word flock like they are
- 57:37Speaker 3: Coke or Kleenex or something, right? They're stuck on the
- 57:40Speaker 3: brand name as opposed to the mass surveillance issue because
- 57:43Speaker 3: there are other companies that make these kinds of cameras.
- 57:47Speaker 3: So I'm always a little hesitant to get too deep
- 57:50Speaker 3: on the flock thing simply because, yes, flock is the
- 57:54Speaker 3: main purveyor of mass surveillance at this point. They're the
- 57:57Speaker 3: most well-known. They're the most widespread. But there are other
- 58:00Speaker 3: companies that make these kinds of things, and that's one
- 58:02Speaker 3: of the concerns. organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and
- 58:07Speaker 3: others who sort of watch this space and warn about
- 58:10Speaker 3: these kind of things have put out there that, you know,
- 58:13Speaker 3: you can't just say, oh, we'll get rid of the
- 58:16Speaker 3: flock and we'll put one of these other things in
- 58:18Speaker 3: and then assume that it doesn't have similar issues. Now,
- 58:21Speaker 3: you know, flock has come under a lot of fire
- 58:23Speaker 3: for a lot of different reasons, not including reporting that's shown,
- 58:28Speaker 3: you know, like one guy going out watching himself on
- 58:31Speaker 3: a flock camera, you know, speaking to the potentially lacks,
- 58:35Speaker 3: alleged lacks security there, if you will. But the bottom
- 58:39Speaker 3: line is, you know, the whole mass surveillance thing, I'm
- 58:43Speaker 3: just sort of fundamentally against, Brian, as you know. And
- 58:47Speaker 3: when you look at examples from around the world where
- 58:50Speaker 3: these types of systems have been hacked by a nation
- 58:53Speaker 3: state adversary and then used for targeting within a a
- 58:58Speaker 3: country by an adversary like Russia and Ukraine, in the
- 59:01Speaker 3: Russia-Ukraine war, in the Israeli-Iranian thing. So while I certainly
- 59:09Speaker 3: understand the possibility benefits that you can get from these devices,
- 59:14Speaker 3: I think the cons vastly outweigh the benefits. And, you know,
- 59:17Speaker 3: we've made it 250 years without mass surveillance like this.
- 59:22Speaker 3: You know, it is interesting to me that I don't
- 59:25Speaker 3: know how long flock cameras have been in operation in
- 59:28Speaker 3: Hamilton County. it is kind of interesting to your point
- 59:32Speaker 3: that they would turn them off right before, to your point,
- 59:36Speaker 3: one of the largest events in the region. I'm glad
- 59:40Speaker 3: they're shutting them down. And honestly, I had not caught
- 59:43Speaker 3: that story. So I don't know what the rationale for
- 59:46Speaker 3: it is.
- 59:46Speaker 1: Well, she suggested it's what is Flock doing with the
- 59:50Speaker 1: data they collect was kind of the impetus behind her
- 59:52Speaker 1: alleged reasons for shutting this down.
- 59:56Speaker 3: That's always been one of my concerns, Brian. This is
- 59:58Speaker 3: a third-party company. Who knows what they're doing with the data?
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: We've seen example after example after example of it being misused.
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: Are they selling it to other companies? We've seen examples
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: where the system just doesn't work right and people are
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: getting pulled over at gunpoint because it misreads their license plate,
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: sends an alert, and suddenly police show up because they
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: think they have a stolen vehicle or possibly worse. Sure.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: I think you and I have talked about the possibility
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: of other companies who are building technology that could interface
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: with this and could do things like, okay, you and
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: I and Joe are all riding in a car together.
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: And it's picking up your devices in my car and
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: Joe's devices in my car. And then somewhere down the road,
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: you know, so now your devices are affiliated with my vehicle.
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: And somewhere down the road, I'm getting pulled over because
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: one of you was accused of a crime and somehow
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: it's connected to me now because your device was regularly
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: riding in my car, like maybe we're carpooling. So, yeah,
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: you know, overall, I am not a fan of these things. Again,
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: I understand the benefits. I know they produce some some
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: good results in some cases. I think the cons greatly
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: outweigh the pros, which is why I've been against it
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: pretty much from the word go. I don't like the
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: whole dystopian panopticon of mass surveillance that we're building. And
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: it feels like people, as you pointed out earlier, Brian,
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: on both sides are kind of waking up to this, hey,
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: we don't really want all of this mass surveillance. We
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: don't need all this mass surveillance anymore. And I'm happy
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: to hear that Hamilton County has come off of it.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: And it seems like that is an ongoing trend.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: It is an ongoing trend, no question. And I share
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: your thoughts and concerns about it. But being a practical guy,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I am. I think the genie's out of the bottle
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: as much as we might hate it. I don't know
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: how we can put it back in the bottle. Speaking
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: of third parties having access to data, what about those
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: apps that we voluntarily put on our phones? Dave's going
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: to talk about that and some practical solutions to help

- 1:02:19Speaker 1: find him. Dave, the answer to your question is Hamilton
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: County partnered with Flock in 2022, beginning with 25 cameras.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: It's now at 75, all of which have been shut
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: down as of yesterday. So moving forward, practical advice from Mr.
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: Hatter.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: Get rid of old apps, Dave. Why should we do this?
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: Well, Brian, you know, we've talked about this so many
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: times before. The company, okay, an app is just software, right?
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: You know, app is short for application, software application. So
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: when you hear someone say software, when you hear someone
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: say programming, you know, app, application, it's all essentially the
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: same thing. It is a software application. Again, apps have
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: sort of become colloquially used to describe software. software applications
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: you install on your phone. And the companies that build
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: these things have employees that need to get paid. Software
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: developers have mortgages. They like to eat. They have to
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: put the kids through school, all this sort of stuff.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: My point is they're not building these apps for you
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: out of the goodness of their heart. If something is
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: free or because they're just nice people that want to
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: make sure that you have some game to play or
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: some doom scrolling thing to spend five to eight hours
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: a day on, on your little box there, right? If
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: something is free, 99% of the time, you are paying
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: with your data. You are not the customer. You are
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: the product. They are monetizing your data. And the more
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: data they can collect about you, the better. We've talked
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: about this before, particularly back when TikTok was all the rage.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: I encourage people, even if you don't have an Apple phone,
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: go to the Apple App Store and look up an
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: app like TikTok. look up the latest game you just
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: downloaded or the latest free app you downloaded for shopping
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: or whatever, and check the Apple privacy label. The privacy
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: label is kind of like the nutrition label on a
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: can at a store. It tells you, and Apple requires
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: app developers to do this, it requires them to say
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: what data they want to collect. And it's usually eye-opening,
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: if not shocking to people, to see that the flashlight
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: app you just downloaded is collecting an incredible amount of
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: information out of your phone. your location, your contacts. Why
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: does the flashlight app need to know your contacts? Why
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: does it want to read your texts? It's a flashlight app, right? Well,
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: it's because the people behind the app use that data
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: either to directly sell you things or they sell your
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: data to other companies who want it and will pay
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: for it a lot in many cases. So they can
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: sell you stuff or whatever.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: It's not necessarily- Part of the flock concern from Charmaine McGuffey.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: What are they doing with the data that they're collecting, right?
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: We just talked about that.
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: That is exactly right. It's all interconnected. And now, Brian,
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: you have things out there like surveillance pricing. The idea
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: that you could go into a store, they have digital
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: price tags, and because they can identify you from your
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: phone and they've bought tons of data about you and
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: maybe already have data about you from whatever you bought
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: there in the past. Yeah, Amazon, whatever. you might get
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: a different price than me because they know you can
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: pay more. That's a real thing. Several states have already
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: banned it. Maryland, for example. I wrote an article about
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: surveillance pricing. I'll post it out there today, too. When
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: people say I have nothing to hide, I understand that.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: But all of this data is being collected and it's
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: being used in ways many people can't even fathom, like
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: the surveillance pricing. Again, could you go on Amazon right
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: now and see a different price than me because they
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: know enough about you to know that you'll pay more? Yeah,
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: that's a real thing.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: So all of that said, the more apps you have,
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: the more data is being collected, sold, who knows where
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: it's going, who knows what they're doing with it, who
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: knows how it might be used against you, again, in
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: ways you wouldn't even be able to predict like surveillance pricing.
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: So the bottom line is the less apps you have,
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: the better. And even if you're not actively using an app,
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: if the software is installed, the app is installed on
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: your device, it may be silently collecting data about you
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: around the clock whether you're using it or not.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: Just like your Roomba vacuum.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: Exactly. The Internet of Things, apps, et cetera.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: You brought Orwell into your home. Damn thing's got a
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: camera on it.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: And a microphone.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: And a microphone.
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: I was going.
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: To say, why does your vacuum need a camera and
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: a microphone?
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: Great question. And why in God's name? See, I learn
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: something every single day doing this program. Why in God's
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: name would anybody need a flashlight app?
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: Well, yeah, since the phone typically has one built in.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: It's right there. Hit the button. It comes on. Hit
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: the button. It turns off. What possible upgrade could a
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: human being need?
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: The less apps you have, the less IoT devices you have,
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: and until we get to a place where there are
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: either laws that prevent this or the companies behind it
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: take your privacy and security seriously, every time you download
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: some sort of app, unless it's well-vetted, like I have
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: an Apple phone because they tend to be more privacy
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: and security friendly. Outside of the apps that shipped from Apple,
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: I bet I don't have 10 apps.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: Neither do I.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: Because I don't want all these companies collecting my data
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: and doing who knows what with it. Yeah. So the
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: less apps you have, the better. If you have apps
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: you're not using, delete them. Get rid of them. It
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: reduces your exposure to your data being leaked, breached, used
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: in ways that you would not appreciate. Clean your phone out.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: Clean your computer out. Get rid of things that you
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: don't need. You'll be better off.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: Amen, brother.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: And just if you're wondering about deleting the app, just
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: remember that you You were able to live without it
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: for so damn long before it finally showed up. Was
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: your life that so, was so difficult that you're like, oh, well,
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: I need a flashlight app. No, no, you don't. You
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: didn't before and you don't need it now. Dave Hatter,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. Interestit.com, linkedin.com for Dave Hatter and
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: the info. Dave, I'll look forward to next week. I
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend, my friend.
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: Thanks, Brian. I hope you and Joe and all your
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: listeners do too. And I will chat with you then.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: Appreciate it, brother. Looking forward to it. 657- It's 7-0-6.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: It is Friday. It's Happy Friday. Got a three-day weekend
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: ahead of it for a lot of people, folks. If
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: you don't have a three-day weekend, that's okay. Looking forward
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: to Sunday and the Riverfest and the beautiful weather. And
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this all morning when I
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: found out she, the official representative for the webpage Signal 99,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: has gone on the program. Signal 99 happens to be
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: a spicy meme page for cops, firefighters, medics, and dispatchers,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: and a place where light is thrown on shady excrement.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: We could use the word pineapple there, right, Signal 99?
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Welcome back to the 55 KRC Morning Show. I sure
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: appreciate what you do.
- 1:09:02Speaker 10: Good morning, Brian.
- 1:09:03Speaker 7: How are you?
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I hope you can say the same.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: You feeling better?
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: No.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that.
- 1:09:09Speaker 7: I do have a huge plethora of pineapple to throw
- 1:09:13Speaker 7: at people.
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: I know you do, and it's welling up inside you.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: I can kind of sense that, but I know you
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: are struggling with some health issues, and I'm going to
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: employ my listening audience. The power of prayer can be
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: very powerful. I know a lot of people believe in it,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: so to the extent you have it in you and
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: will offer a little bit of help and support for
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: Signal 99, the person, I'd appreciate you sending prayers her
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: way for better health. So with that out of the way,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: can we start with flock cameras?
- 1:09:39Speaker 10: If that's where you'd like to start, it's your show.
- 1:09:42Speaker 10: Let's get it going.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: Well, we've been talking about this morning. I found out
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey in Hamilton County shut the flock cameras
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: down yesterday. And citing mostly it seems to be concerns
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: that mirror your concerns under your post, What the Flock,
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: in which you say, until the government does something at
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: a federal level to stop data collection from being sold,
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: there's nothing we as citizens can do. You support flock cameras,
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: noting that, Lord Almighty, how many crimes have been solved
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: with the assistance of flock cameras? But I wanted to
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: ask you initially, and we'll get into the details of
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: all this and what it means, but Signal 99, what
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: do you make of the timing? Don't you think Riverfest
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: and the 500,000-plus people are going to show up in
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati might be a time that even if you
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: hate flock cameras, since there is no urgency to shut
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: them down because the problems associated with data being sold
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: are not going to be resolved in the short term,
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: Why would you do it before Sunday? Do you have
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: any idea why?
- 1:10:42Speaker 7: Well, the better question is, if the sheriff was really
- 1:10:46Speaker 7: altruistic and just trying to do the right thing by
- 1:10:49Speaker 7: putting flock on pause, and it wasn't to pander to
- 1:10:54Speaker 7: the masses who are screaming about flock, why.
- 1:10:57Speaker 10: Would she announce it? Because all the criminals are going
- 1:11:01Speaker 10: to hear about it.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: That's a good point. They publicly announced it. Listen, if
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: I know about it, and they're talking about it, and
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: Charmaine McGuffey's making a news announcement about it, I think
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: word's going to get out to the criminal element that also,
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: as you know, Signal 99, in touch with the police
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: department on a regular basis, we're short on officers. And
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: I imagine the mass contingent of officers that we have
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: in Cincinnati are probably going to be deployed around Riverfest,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: given the crowds. So what about all the other neighborhoods
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: who now know and everybody in them know that flock
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: cameras are shut down?
- 1:11:30Speaker 5: Hmm.
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: Problem, maybe?
- 1:11:32Speaker 7: Yeah, it's going to be a problem. It's probably Riverfest
- 1:11:38Speaker 7: might get spicy, but I'm saying it might take a
- 1:11:43Speaker 7: few days for the vast majority of the criminals to
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: realize that, oh, my gosh, we can steal cars all
- 1:11:50Speaker 7: day long and there's no flock cameras.
- 1:11:53Speaker 10: By the sheriff's office.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Property crimes.
- 1:11:56Speaker 7: Now, keep in mind, there are other agencies within Hamilton
- 1:12:01Speaker 7: County that have their own flock cameras, and they're not
- 1:12:03Speaker 7: shutting them down anytime soon.
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: No.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: But you also pointed out in your post something a
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: little bit perhaps more nefarious. This company called Axon, which
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I guess makes a similar line of cameras along the
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: flock lines or technology, but it also makes the tasers
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: you all use, the body-worn cameras, license plate readers, and
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: MVRs as all mobile video recorders. that the Sheriff's Department uses,
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: and the Cincinnati Police Department, I guess, uses. So is this, like,
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Flock has been identified as the evil actor, although it's
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: really just kind of like Kleenex being the default word
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: for facial tissues. Nobody calls them facial tissues. They call
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: them Kleenex, and Kleenex is a name brand. Flock is
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: a name brand for different types of systems that do
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: the same damn thing.
- 1:12:47Speaker 7: Well, the problem, the biggest problem is that Flock used
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: to be Axon. So they were one company, and then
- 1:12:58Speaker 7: they split off and created Flock and became competitors.
- 1:13:03Speaker 10: Well, Axon was.
- 1:13:04Speaker 7: Like, yeah, yeah, whatever, because they were moving in the
- 1:13:08Speaker 7: BWCs and the MVRs and the Tasers and all of that,
- 1:13:13Speaker 7: while Flock was just really concerned about license plate raiders.
- 1:13:16Speaker 7: So Flock just kind of did their own thing and
- 1:13:20Speaker 7: became very successful. But Years ago, there was a company
- 1:13:25Speaker 7: that police departments all over the country contracted with to
- 1:13:30Speaker 7: go out and get contracts signed by local businesses and
- 1:13:35Speaker 7: residences that had private surveillance cameras that would allow their
- 1:13:40Speaker 7: department's real-time crime centers to tap into at will. And
- 1:13:45Speaker 7: when they did, and they could burn their own video
- 1:13:48Speaker 7: recordings off of it, and go testify in court without
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: having to call in a resident or a business owner
- 1:13:56Speaker 7: to testify. The detectives or the real-time crime officers could
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: testify themselves. Axon just bought that company and all of
- 1:14:08Speaker 7: those contracts. And we're talking about decades of contracts. We're
- 1:14:12Speaker 7: talking about hundreds of thousands. of private surveillance videos.
- 1:14:18Speaker 10: Axon now owns that.
- 1:14:21Speaker 7: So if they think Flock is Big Brother watching, Axon
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: is actually Big Brother watching. And Axon is actually the
- 1:14:33Speaker 7: party responsible behind the smear campaign against Flock.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: Ooh, shocking.
- 1:14:39Speaker 7: Yeah, it's very shocking.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: And also the Chinese Communist Party, as I just learned, too.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, there's a report on Fox News about it.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: The compute war at home where they show all these
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: Neville Roy Singham and Chinese Communist Party-affiliated protest groups, heavily funded,
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: protesting flock, and, of course, artificial intelligence. They're in bed, too.
- 1:15:02Speaker 7: Yeah. And meanwhile, everybody's screaming, oh, our privacy. Okay, first
- 1:15:07Speaker 7: of all, when you're driving down a public street, you
- 1:15:10Speaker 7: have no expectation of privacy. Okay? You walk into a
- 1:15:14Speaker 7: store with cameras, you have no expectation of privacy. If
- 1:15:18Speaker 7: you have an Alexa at home or a cell phone
- 1:15:23Speaker 7: at home that's a smartphone, you have no expectation of
- 1:15:27Speaker 7: privacy because guess what? They're selling all your data too.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: Does Axon have a pledge not to sell any data
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: to any third-party entity? Probably not.
- 1:15:40Speaker 4: No.
- 1:15:41Speaker 7: No, and here's another myth busted. Flock does not use
- 1:15:47Speaker 7: facial recognition software, period. Axon cannot say the same thing.
- 1:15:56Speaker 7: I was actually freaking out about Axon a couple years
- 1:16:02Speaker 7: ago when the sheriff had Axon everything switched over. I
- 1:16:07Speaker 7: did a big article about how officers, deputies would have
- 1:16:11Speaker 7: zero privacy going forward, zero, because their taser, their BWC,
- 1:16:19Speaker 7: and the MVR, the mobile video recorder in their cruiser,
- 1:16:23Speaker 7: which has video and audio, could be turned on at
- 1:16:26Speaker 7: any time without the officer or the deputy knowing it
- 1:16:32Speaker 7: and listen to them. And their BWC cameras from Axon
- 1:16:36Speaker 7: now have 24-hour look-back. So even if their BWC is
- 1:16:40Speaker 7: not on, they can play it back for 24 hours
- 1:16:44Speaker 7: and listen to everything that officer has talked about in
- 1:16:47Speaker 7: his cruiser, on the phone to their spouse, whatever, everything.
- 1:16:53Speaker 7: Nothing is off limits now. And I warned these departments
- 1:16:59Speaker 7: two years ago that they had no more privacy at
- 1:17:04Speaker 7: work at all whatsoever, none.
- 1:17:07Speaker 10: To be careful.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: So it's like an Alexa without the prompt word. It's
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: like an Alexa without the prompt word.
- 1:17:15Speaker 7: Correct. Well, it used to be if admin turned on
- 1:17:18Speaker 7: your BWC, the little light would be flash.
- 1:17:22Speaker 10: It doesn't anymore. It doesn't have to. But I just
- 1:17:25Speaker 10: want to.
- 1:17:25Speaker 7: Say CPD is now fully integrated to Axon. Their MDC
- 1:17:31Speaker 7: computers in their car now use Axon to write their reports.
- 1:17:36Speaker 7: And they use Axon to do all of the work
- 1:17:41Speaker 7: that they do in their mobile data computer that's in
- 1:17:44Speaker 7: the cruiser. So Axon now has access to that as well.
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Well, as we have to go into a break here,
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: we will continue for this hour of power with Signal 99.
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: Go to Facebook, look for Signal 99, and follow what
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: she has to say. She does come with the goods,
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: which apparently we'll talk about a little bit later. This
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: kind of angered Interim Police Chief Henney. But I have
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: to conclude the segment on this one, Charmaine. Or rather, Charmaine.
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That was... I didn't mean to do that. Pineapples. Pineapples.
- 1:18:15Speaker 10: Pineapples.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: Signal 99, here's your statement. Remember, folks, flock cameras and
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: LPRs were instrumental in recovering Charmaine McGuffey's stolen cruiser after
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: it was stolen because she left her fob and firearms
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: in her unlocked cruiser three different times. There you go.
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: That's what pisses people off right there, Signal. Don't go away.
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: It's 716 right now, 55KRC, the talk station. 55KRC, the
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: talk station. Talk station. 720, 55KRC, the talk station. Brian
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: Thomas with Signal 99. The voice behind.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: Signal 99 on Facebook. Spicy meme page exposing the route
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: is what we're talking about this morning. Let's continue with
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Flockhammer just briefly here. Signal 99, the announcement from Charmaine McGuffey,
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: they're going to quit using them. You're not going to
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: search them. You're just going to turn them off. Until
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: we deal with the data and privacy issues, we were
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: talking about flocks selling data out into the world or
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: something along those lines. Followed by also a Hamilton County
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office Major, Tony, I believe it's Oru. He's the
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: Enforcement Division Sheriff's Office. And he had a very long
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: email he sent out. He said, there are no allegations
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: or concerns that our deputies misuse the system. They set
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: rules for the people, cannot fully account for who else
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: can reach the data, how the company collects it, or
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: what access the company gives to others. And that's the concern. Okay. State,
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: he writes, statewide and nationwide sharing may be accessed two ways.
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: So the other law enforcement agencies can access the data
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: as well. We cannot stand behind that standard for a
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: system that other agencies can access. So they're concerned about
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: other agencies looking at this data as well. Well, I
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: was scratching my head on that one because personally, since
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: we're dealing with law enforcement, I mean, putting the privacy
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: issues aside, which I share from a civil libertarian perspective,
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: but I'm happy there's a National Child Abuse and Neglect
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: Data System where we share information about pedophiles so we
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: can get the pedophiles. That information is readily shared between
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: federal and state law enforcement agencies so we can get them.
- 1:20:13Speaker 10: Or the FBI.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: FBI, yeah.
- 1:20:14Speaker 5: Or the FBI.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: But that's okay.
- 1:20:17Speaker 7: Or the NSA or the Department of Justice.
- 1:20:21Speaker 10: Who cares? If you're not a criminal, why do you care?
- 1:20:26Speaker 10: Because you know what?
- 1:20:27Speaker 7: I care too about our data being sold. But like
- 1:20:31Speaker 7: I said, there's nothing that we can do until the
- 1:20:35Speaker 7: federal government moves to change that and pass a law.
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: Why would they do that? The concerns for me about
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: why we should care extend to, okay, enforcing the current
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: criminal laws is a great idea. I want that. I
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: don't commit crimes, so I'm in that category of safe people.
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: But it's the day when they change the laws or
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: they change the purpose for the use of it.
- 1:20:59Speaker 10: Okay, that's true.
- 1:21:00Speaker 7: Such as the Patriot Act happened. I was all about
- 1:21:04Speaker 7: the Patriot Act when it happened. And this was my
- 1:21:07Speaker 7: thought process. I'm not a terrorist. And if it helps
- 1:21:10Speaker 7: catch terrorists, then I don't care. And I don't, if
- 1:21:16Speaker 7: that's all they were using it for. But now they
- 1:21:19Speaker 7: use the Patriot Act as an end round around everything.
- 1:21:22Speaker 7: They're going to do the same thing with the data
- 1:21:24Speaker 7: sharing So, of course, they're not going to pass a
- 1:21:27Speaker 7: law anytime soon. So that's going to take states to
- 1:21:33Speaker 7: force the government to stop selling our information. As far
- 1:21:40Speaker 7: as sharing our information with government law enforcement agencies, I
- 1:21:45Speaker 7: still don't care. Now, if they come up with tyrannical laws, well,
- 1:21:52Speaker 7: let's have a civil war then. I'm not going to
- 1:21:54Speaker 7: worry about that now.
- 1:21:56Speaker 10: Because, you know, because I'm all about civil war, too.
- 1:22:00Speaker 7: So, you know, I mean, if that's what it takes
- 1:22:03Speaker 7: to stay a free nation and, you know, I get
- 1:22:06Speaker 7: scolded all the time. If you if you believe in flock,
- 1:22:10Speaker 7: you don't believe in freedom.
- 1:22:11Speaker 10: Give me a break. You know what?
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: If you if you believe in law and order, then
- 1:22:19Speaker 7: saving one child's life is worth it.
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: Don't you think?
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: Because if it was your child, I would agree with that.
- 1:22:27Speaker 7: Like I said, everybody hates flock until their child gets
- 1:22:31Speaker 7: snatched off the street. And then they pray to God
- 1:22:33Speaker 7: almighty that that suspect drives by.
- 1:22:36Speaker 10: A flock camera. And that's all I want to talk
- 1:22:38Speaker 10: about flock.
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: Dan, fair enough. Cause we're out of time in the segment. Anyway,
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: I just will observe that, uh, you know, um, The
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: people screaming and running around, obviously, many of which are
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: part of these leftist organizations, probably don't like Flock for
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: one reason, maybe, which is because Flock would record their
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: vehicles going in and out of these large protests, often
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: violent they are, and then may confirm that they're driving
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: in and out of different venues in different states far
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: away from the one that they were at in some
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: other city, tracking the protesters.
- 1:23:07Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: Organized, well-organized machine.
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:23:11Speaker 10: Antifa hates flock. Antifa hates everything. That's not Antifa.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: They do. Part of the DSA's platform.
- 1:23:18Speaker 7: The more we talk about flock, the more relieved Carrie
- 1:23:21Speaker 7: Bloom is this morning.
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: Next up, out of the gate, Carrie Bloom. Man, you talk.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: And wasn't even mentioned by Aftab Perval, who came out
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: swinging with a new plan to address violence around the
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati campus. That's next with Signal 99. I
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: hope you can stick around.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: 55KRC.
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: ShareFax Credit Union's 20th annual charity golf tournament will take
- 1:23:42Speaker 5: place Monday, September 25.
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: KRC, the talk station. It's 729 at 55 KRC, the
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: talk station. Facebook, Signal 99. Outstanding reporting from my guest
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: on the program this morning. Happy to have her back.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: Signal 99, let me start real quickly here before we
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: get to the juvenile court and the problems brought to
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: all of the community by Administrative Juvenile Court Judge Carrie Bloom.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: We do have a better option in November. We can
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: get people out to vote for Magistrate Lucan. But Mayor
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: Aftab Perville actually came out of his basement to address
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: the crime issue for the first time, I think, ever yesterday,
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: acknowledging that there was fights among high school students outside
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: of Hughes in the mass brawl there. Four shootings around
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: University of Cincinnati campus with four people injured and one dead.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: obviously very serious, he said. And he said, we take
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: any violence seriously, particularly when we have violence in such
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: a high-density area. Here's what he had to say, Signal.
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: When asked about his message to parents, Perval said, we're
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: doing everything we can to make sure we stop these
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: violent acts. We hold people accountable, and we prevent it
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: from happening again. Along those lines, his proposals for dealing
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: with the problem, restricting traffic flow in certain areas, increasing lighting,
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: implementing parking restrictions, and enhancing patrol visibility, along with the
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: UC police. Now, I know we have a limited number
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: of officers, and I think enhancing visibility does work. We
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: know that statistically. He didn't say anything about the juvenile
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: court justice system, which has been a failure to everyone,
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: including the juveniles that brought into the system. Judge Bloom.
- 1:25:13Speaker 10: I was just going to ask you, did he.
- 1:25:16Speaker 7: suggest voting for Susan Lucan in November?
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: No, he didn't. He didn't touch the.
- 1:25:21Speaker 10: That would solve the juvenile crime problem.
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: I know. Judge Bloom, who has, as you revealed, this
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: is insane. Is it officially called a Bible of unofficial charges?
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: You have that in quotes on your site.
- 1:25:35Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:25:37Speaker 7: Can we take a pause for a minute?
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:25:41Speaker 7: I have to give a shout out to one of
- 1:25:44Speaker 7: the members of Signal 99. who recently retired from the
- 1:25:48Speaker 7: sheriff's office and just became Social Security eligible today. So
- 1:25:54Speaker 7: I can officially unmask him and say, happy birthday, Wild
- 1:26:00Speaker 7: Bill Beckman.
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:26:02Speaker 7: And you are unmasked and free to move about the county.
- 1:26:07Speaker 7: And also a shout out to Jeff Scherer, who wrote
- 1:26:12Speaker 7: a book called Shots Fired on Reading Road. It's about
- 1:26:16Speaker 7: the murder of Cincinnati patrolman Donald Martin and Jeff as
- 1:26:22Speaker 7: a retired CPD homicide detective that helped crack that 44-year-old case.
- 1:26:29Speaker 10: He's got a book out.
- 1:26:30Speaker 7: It's on Amazon. He's also a member of Signal 99,
- 1:26:34Speaker 7: but he's not very funny and he doesn't write as
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: well as I do, but by his book because it's
- 1:26:41Speaker 7: a fascinating read.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: A shout out and a salute.
- 1:26:44Speaker 7: And yet, speaking of books, the Bible of Carrie Bloom's
- 1:26:50Speaker 7: unofficial charges, yes, that's absolutely true. That's what everybody has
- 1:26:54Speaker 7: called it for years. And somebody was dumb enough to
- 1:27:00Speaker 7: leave it out on the counter the other day. And
- 1:27:05Speaker 7: a police officer that happened to be passing through saw
- 1:27:09Speaker 7: it and took a bunch of screenshots and sent them
- 1:27:11Speaker 7: to me. So It took me a couple of days
- 1:27:14Speaker 7: to write the article. I needed to get some facts
- 1:27:17Speaker 7: checked and I was able to do that.
- 1:27:20Speaker 10: And there you have it. And it isn't isn't that disgusting.
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: It is disgusting. Now, if you are charged with a
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: crime on the Bible of unofficial charges, that's initial cap
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: as a juvenile. If you are charged with the following crimes,
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: which are on the list of unofficial charges, assault, resisting arrest,
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: obstructing official business, obstructing justice, inducing panic, criminal damaging, possession
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: of criminal tools, theft, criminal trespass, falsification, misuse of credit cards, complicity,
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: then you are not detained. You're let out.
- 1:27:52Speaker 7: And that includes if you commit an assault, okay, a
- 1:27:58Speaker 7: serious assault, And a police officer goes to arrest you.
- 1:28:02Speaker 10: And you resist and they arrest you. And now they're
- 1:28:07Speaker 10: going to charge you with resisting as well.
- 1:28:10Speaker 7: And you lie about your name, which is falsification, which
- 1:28:15Speaker 7: is a whole nother charge. You can get charged with
- 1:28:18Speaker 7: all three of those things. They walk you into 2020.
- 1:28:22Speaker 7: You still get to go home before they're done writing
- 1:28:25Speaker 7: their report.
- 1:28:27Speaker 10: No detention.
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: No detention. But my understanding is, based upon what you report,
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: that the offenses I just listed, unofficial charges, those are
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: offenses for which Judge Bloom won't even allow a juvenile
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: to be detained. in 2020, so they don't have to
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: make that step. You mentioned if they resist arrest and
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: assault an officer, that'll get them into the door, but
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: it won't do anything by way of outcome.
- 1:28:48Speaker 7: Exactly. They bring them in, and while the officer's filling
- 1:28:53Speaker 7: out their report, at 2020, they're They call the guardian.
- 1:28:56Speaker 7: Guardian comes and picks them up. They usually leave before
- 1:28:59Speaker 7: the officer does. And talk about a morale killer. That's
- 1:29:05Speaker 7: a morale killer because they pick up these same juveniles
- 1:29:09Speaker 7: over and over and over.
- 1:29:11Speaker 10: I believe I.
- 1:29:11Speaker 7: Told you previously I had an officer that reached out
- 1:29:14Speaker 7: to me earlier this year. He had arrested a 12-year-old.
- 1:29:18Speaker 7: It was a CPD officer, arrested a 12-year-old for grand
- 1:29:23Speaker 7: theft auto. And the kid walked out of 2020 before
- 1:29:29Speaker 7: he was even done filing his report. Grand Theft Auto. Okay,
- 1:29:33Speaker 7: that's not a misdemeanor. Okay, and guess what happened two
- 1:29:37Speaker 7: weeks later? He arrested the same 12-year-old for Grand Theft Auto.
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: Felony.
- 1:29:44Speaker 7: Correct.
- 1:29:44Speaker 10: And he still walked out of 2020.
- 1:29:46Speaker 7: This is Kerry Bloom's justices. in juvenile court. We can't
- 1:29:55Speaker 7: have any of this. We just can't do it. And
- 1:30:01Speaker 7: the thing about not letting them look like criminals, you
- 1:30:05Speaker 7: want to allow them, when they're being transported to juvenile
- 1:30:08Speaker 7: court for 2020, to have their wrists kept at their
- 1:30:13Speaker 7: waist and their feet?
- 1:30:15Speaker 10: Nope, handcuffs only.
- 1:30:17Speaker 7: And so they've been having assaults happening in the transport van,
- 1:30:21Speaker 7: and she won't allow the COs to pull over and intervene.
- 1:30:26Speaker 7: She won't allow them to ride in the back with
- 1:30:28Speaker 7: the juveniles. She makes them continue on until they get
- 1:30:32Speaker 7: to the courthouse because she doesn't want police officers to
- 1:30:36Speaker 7: get involved and treat them like criminals.
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: Well, I know you're not done unloading on, and it's
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: all worthy unloading on Juvenile Court Judge Carrie Bloom because
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: we have an election where we can change the dynamic
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: down there. But you've got a lot more to talk
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: about along these lines. And we're out of time in
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: this segment. Signal 99 will continue with more on the
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: antics of Judge Carrie Bloom after these brief words. 55KRC. KRC,
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: the talk station. 739 at 55KRC, the talk station. Happy Friday.
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: Brian Thomas with, on Facebook, Signal 99. Read what she's
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: got to write about. Much to the chagrin of anybody
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: in law enforcement or anybody in the administration in downtown Cincinnati,
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: pivoting back over, Aftab Perlwald did not mention reform in
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: the juvenile court as part of his efforts to crack
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: down on crime, even though Judge Bloom does not believe
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: in the administration of justice for juveniles. And maybe this
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: is part of the Democrat Socialists of America whittling away
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: of law enforcement, period, end of story, which they want
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: to eradicate. And this is the beginning of the eradication.
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: But Treating juveniles with kid gloves even though they're violent. Now,
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: you mentioned a violent act will land a kid over
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: in 2020 juvenile detention on 800 Broadway. But you mentioned
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: in the last segment that Judge Bloom will not allow
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: juveniles to be shackled with their hands to their waists.
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: There's a good reason you want to have that done.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: She doesn't want them looking like criminals, but what can happen?
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: You mentioned in your post, two kids ambushed a third
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: kid while they were being transported to 2020. The victim
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: was pretty seriously injured. Marks on his face, the handcuffs
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: that aren't shackled around the waist were around his throat,
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: apparently leaving handcuff marks there. The corrections officers are forbidden
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: from riding in the back seat with the juveniles while
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: being transported. And here's the fun fact that I'm puzzling over.
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: Corrections officers have a video camera in the back of
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: the van, but even if something happens, like the foregoing
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: coordinated attack on another juvenile while being transported, Judge Bloom
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: makes the corrections officers keep driving to the destination before
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: intervening because she doesn't want police officers to intervene and
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: treat them like criminals. Well, they're engaged in a criminal
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: act at the time. What are they supposed to allow
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: the criminal act to be ongoing? The only change in
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: how they would react if they were doing this on
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: the street, beating the crap out of another kid, where
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: they would intervene, is because they're in a police car?
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: How dumb is that?
- 1:33:00Speaker 7: Well can I knock yourself out can I throw just
- 1:33:05Speaker 7: a tiny little teaser out please I've been blowing Bloom
- 1:33:09Speaker 7: up pretty on the regular and it's all facts okay
- 1:33:13Speaker 7: it's all it's 100% it's not speculation but I'm going
- 1:33:19Speaker 7: to throw this out there I'll be posting something later
- 1:33:23Speaker 7: today um And the only thing that I'll talk about
- 1:33:28Speaker 7: it right now is that Bloom had the audacity to
- 1:33:35Speaker 7: go before the FOP 1900 club, which is Cincinnati TD FOP,
- 1:33:42Speaker 7: Queen city log 69 and seek their endorsement for reelection.
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: Is she that oblivious?
- 1:33:53Speaker 10: Oh, it's not oblivious.
- 1:33:55Speaker 7: It's, hubris and arrogance. And not only that, she's BFF
- 1:34:01Speaker 7: with interim chief Henney and Cheryl Long and the mayor
- 1:34:05Speaker 7: and Iris Rowley.
- 1:34:06Speaker 10: And I'm sure they all encouraged her to go. So I'm,
- 1:34:11Speaker 10: I'm just going to say this.
- 1:34:14Speaker 7: If, if the 1900 gave Carrie Bloom the endorsement, I, I,
- 1:34:22Speaker 7: I don't know what I would do.
- 1:34:23Speaker 10: I'd probably curl up in a little ball and die.
- 1:34:25Speaker 10: So I don't see it happening.
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: Sign of the apocalypse.
- 1:34:28Speaker 10: In a million years.
- 1:34:30Speaker 7: But that's not even the meat and potatoes of the
- 1:34:34Speaker 7: article I'm putting out today.
- 1:34:37Speaker 10: That's just a very, very beginning.
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: Another reason to follow Signal 99 on Facebook if you're
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: not doing it already. Well, you know, I understand the
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: concept of an independent judiciary system. Let me ask you,
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: Signal 99, based upon the information you have, and you
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: have a lot of it with people absolutely there in
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: the know, do the city manager, Cheryl Long, maybe Iris Rowley,
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: the third-party administrator of something or other out in the world,
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: well-paid for that as a nongovernmental organization she runs, but
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: also Aftab Perlbaugh. So Long, Rowley, Perlbaugh, do all three
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: or any one of them have any control over the
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: policies and positions of Judge Bloom in the juvenile court?
- 1:35:17Speaker 5: No.
- 1:35:19Speaker 10: Well, no, it's funny that you say that. They don't.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: Officially.
- 1:35:25Speaker 7: The mayor has always had his hands in the justice
- 1:35:32Speaker 7: system in Hamilton County since he was clerk of court.
- 1:35:36Speaker 7: So when he was clerk of court, he walked into
- 1:35:40Speaker 7: a Democratic judicial meeting and said, you're all going to
- 1:35:46Speaker 7: Do low and no bail bonds and soft on sentencing,
- 1:35:52Speaker 7: or I'm going to have you primaried. And only one
- 1:35:56Speaker 7: Democratic judge stood up, and that was Daunte Johnson, which
- 1:36:01Speaker 7: shocks me. But he stood up and he said, you
- 1:36:03Speaker 7: know what? Then go ahead and primary because you're not
- 1:36:06Speaker 7: going to tell me what to do in my own
- 1:36:07Speaker 7: damn court.
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: Good.
- 1:36:08Speaker 7: He's the only one that stood up and said, go
- 1:36:11Speaker 7: ahead and primary me. So– And he's still around, so
- 1:36:16Speaker 7: clearly that was an empty threat, but it worked. And
- 1:36:22Speaker 7: then when he became mayor, and you've got to think,
- 1:36:26Speaker 7: Wendy Cross, Judge Hathaway, Judge Branch, so many of them,
- 1:36:34Speaker 7: and a bunch of city council, they're all a very
- 1:36:36Speaker 7: tight-knit group. Connie Pillich, the sheriff, they're all in there
- 1:36:42Speaker 7: with Bloom, and they all protect each other. And they
- 1:36:46Speaker 7: all push their people to push, you know, for the
- 1:36:52Speaker 7: votes that they want to see happen, which is why,
- 1:36:55Speaker 7: you know, we lost last November because only 13 percent
- 1:37:00Speaker 7: of Republicans in Cincinnati turned up to vote.
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: Only 25 percent of registered voters showed up. And guess
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: who those registered voters are behind, right? The NGO activists
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: who have their jobs waiting on the line if they
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: don't vote for the same administration over and over. Their
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: financial lifeline gets cut off. That's a lot of pressure
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: on these already leftist judges and politicians downtown. Speaking of
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: losing votes, apparently Judge Blum is trying to force a
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: change in venue for a 16-year-old kid who murdered someone else.
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Going to be tried as an adult maybe. She is
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: going to lose votes if she doesn't change the venue
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: for this one. That plus what's wrong with interim police
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: chief Henney and with Signal 99. We'll do that one
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: more segment. This has been fascinating. Signal 99, don't go away.
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: 55KRC.
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: What right or authority does a judge have to unilaterally
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: change a venue?
- 1:37:56Speaker 7: She's asking for it, and she's trying to get CPS
- 1:38:00Speaker 7: to push for it.
- 1:38:01Speaker 6: So....
- 1:38:04Speaker 7: It's simply to distance herself from this case so that
- 1:38:08Speaker 7: it doesn't hurt her in the upcoming reelection.
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: So people are so aware of this one case that
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: if she were to try this kid as an adult
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: in a Hamilton County juvenile or in a Hamilton County
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: civil or rather criminal adult court, that people will be
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: so aware of it, it could impact the election?
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:38:28Speaker 10: So the article on... I did on Bloom.
- 1:38:32Speaker 7: About a week ago has over 300 views, and it's
- 1:38:37Speaker 7: still being shared. The ones that I've done over the
- 1:38:42Speaker 7: last few days sprinkled around, several hundred thousand views, and
- 1:38:47Speaker 7: it's still going strong. So she knows that it's getting
- 1:38:52Speaker 7: a lot of attention. It's getting a lot of traction.
- 1:38:56Speaker 7: They're getting a lot of phone calls. Connie Pellich is
- 1:39:00Speaker 7: extremely upset with me. Bloom is upset with me. Iris
- 1:39:05Speaker 7: is upset with me. Bloom is actually crying to everybody
- 1:39:10Speaker 7: that'll listen that she's getting death threats because of me.
- 1:39:13Speaker 10: And here's the thing.
- 1:39:15Speaker 7: Suck it up, Carrie, because... I get death threats all
- 1:39:18Speaker 7: the time.
- 1:39:19Speaker 10: All the time.
- 1:39:21Speaker 7: I'm not whining about it on social media. And I
- 1:39:24Speaker 7: doubt that the death threats that you're getting are actual
- 1:39:27Speaker 7: death threats. So stop being a drama queen and just resign.
- 1:39:32Speaker 7: Just step down. Withdraw your bid for reelection. Because you're done.
- 1:39:39Speaker 7: You're done in Hamilton County. Everybody knows it. And you
- 1:39:43Speaker 7: know it, too.
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: Well, her efforts to have a change of venue in
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: this one case with all of the people, as you
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: point out, paying attention on social media, something suggests to
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: me that a lot of those posts, if not maybe
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: a vast majority of them, are critical of her.
- 1:39:59Speaker 10: Well, a lot of.
- 1:40:00Speaker 7: My posts on social media are critical of, you're talking
- 1:40:04Speaker 7: about Carrie Bloom?
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:40:07Speaker 10: They're absolutely critical of her.
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: Because she's moving for the change of venue. So wouldn't
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: it be in her best interest to just drop that
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: stupidity and try the case here in Hamilton County?
- 1:40:18Speaker 7: Well, she wouldn't even be the judge trying it. It
- 1:40:21Speaker 7: would be going to Common Pleas.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: Problem solved. Problem solved.
- 1:40:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: This is insane.
- 1:40:30Speaker 7: But she also doesn't want to give up control. If
- 1:40:32Speaker 7: she could get it moved to Montgomery County... then she
- 1:40:36Speaker 7: could still have a little bit of control about what's
- 1:40:38Speaker 7: going to go on up there. The whole thing is
- 1:40:40Speaker 7: just such a joke.
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: Well, if they transfer it up there, the kid could
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: still be tried as an adult, I imagine, too.
- 1:40:47Speaker 7: Well, it would be tried as an adult, yes.
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: Right. Signal 99, real quickly, I see that Interim Police
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: Chief Henney is kind of upset, as in my notes here.
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: What is Henney's problem with you?
- 1:41:02Speaker 7: Well, you know, this is really funny. I was very
- 1:41:07Speaker 7: supportive of him when he had only, he went from
- 1:41:11Speaker 7: being a captain to an interim chief in eight days.
- 1:41:15Speaker 7: And I was supportive and I said, give him time,
- 1:41:17Speaker 7: let him learn. You know, he's, he's, you know, he's
- 1:41:21Speaker 7: got big shoes to fill and it's, you know, whatever.
- 1:41:25Speaker 10: Um, he came out strong, kinda.
- 1:41:28Speaker 7: He did. And I, um, did a little bit of
- 1:41:32Speaker 7: praising here and there of some of the things that
- 1:41:35Speaker 7: I saw and heard him doing. And then, you know what?
- 1:41:39Speaker 7: He just bent the knee, sold his soul to Cheryl Long,
- 1:41:43Speaker 7: and has just been nothing but a meat puppet since.
- 1:41:46Speaker 7: And so I actually called Ken Tober, I don't know,
- 1:41:51Speaker 7: like February. When was it that we had that shooting
- 1:41:56Speaker 7: down at the music center down there?
- 1:42:00Speaker 3: Oh.
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: In a blur of shootings in downtown, that one's kind
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: of escaped or is off my radar right now. Earlier
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: in the year, anyway.
- 1:42:09Speaker 7: During that shooting, I had criticized him a couple of
- 1:42:13Speaker 7: days before for having Chief Henney on his uniform instead
- 1:42:18Speaker 7: of interim Chief Henney because Teresa Tigi had not been
- 1:42:21Speaker 7: terminated yet.
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:42:25Speaker 10: And I thought that was very tacky. And I said, hey,
- 1:42:28Speaker 10: you know what?
- 1:42:28Speaker 3: Do better.
- 1:42:29Speaker 10: It's not a good look. You know, and.
- 1:42:35Speaker 7: That night of the shooting, he was down there talking
- 1:42:38Speaker 7: to all the other officers down there standing around waiting
- 1:42:41Speaker 7: for everything to get wrapped up. And he was talking
- 1:42:45Speaker 7: nine yards of pineapples about me. For those of you
- 1:42:48Speaker 7: that don't know, pineapples are safe words for curse words.
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: Yes. So he was talking all this math about me
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: down there.
- 1:42:58Speaker 7: And they were all telling me.
- 1:43:01Speaker 10: Like, my phone was blowing up.
- 1:43:02Speaker 7: Henny's down here talking smack about you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:43:07Speaker 7: And it was making them mad. The officers were getting mad.
- 1:43:11Speaker 7: So I called Ken Coburn the next day, and I said, hey,
- 1:43:14Speaker 7: I know Henny's a friend of yours, and so I
- 1:43:19Speaker 7: want to, you know, give him the courtesy of this
- 1:43:22Speaker 7: courtesy call to you. If he doesn't keep my name
- 1:43:26Speaker 7: out of his mouth, I'm going to set him on fire.
- 1:43:32Speaker 7: on my page.
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:43:33Speaker 7: And Ken started laughing and he said, I'll call him
- 1:43:36Speaker 7: right now.
- 1:43:38Speaker 10: Well, real quick, he has continued. He just continued.
- 1:43:43Speaker 7: So anyways, every time I get these facts and I
- 1:43:46Speaker 7: blow these things up and I get these receipts and I,
- 1:43:49Speaker 7: so then he started yarding innocent people into IA and
- 1:43:53Speaker 7: have an IA grilled them.
- 1:43:56Speaker 10: Um, for being leaks to signal 99.
- 1:43:57Speaker 7: And, um, Yeah, he's been on this witch hunt for
- 1:44:02Speaker 7: leaks to Signal 99, so he gets no mercy. He
- 1:44:07Speaker 7: gets no quarter.
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: Well, that's what happens when you try to buck the
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: page that Signal 99 is, providing factual information. Go ahead,
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: try to refute the facts. The documents are there. The
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: information is there. It comes from sound sources in the know.
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: That's why we follow you, Signal 99. That's why I
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: can't thank you enough for joining the morning show from

- 1:44:58Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. Why is Amy Acton hiding?
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: I think I can come to my own conclusion on that.
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: Jack's been following it. He'll be talking about that first
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: out of the gate, plus Sherrod Brown and the Springfield Haitians.
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: Plus Greg Lansman is against socialism after he was for it.

- 1:45:16Speaker 1: Can't cover up your paper trail these days, can you? 513-749-5500, 800-823-TACO,
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: at Town 550. If you're on an AT & T phone,
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: I was warned about this call, and I always look
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: forward to hearing from Maureen. Welcome back, Maureen. It's great
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: hearing from you, as always.
- 1:45:29Speaker 4: Good morning, Brian. Great show. I always love Signal 99.
- 1:45:32Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to Jack Wentz. They're talking about Amy.
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: I can't imagine where she could be hiding out.
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: Are you listening from Florida, Maureen?
- 1:45:40Speaker 4: Not today.
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: Not today.
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: It's okay.
- 1:45:42Speaker 4: Next week I will be, but yes.
- 1:45:43Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: Anyway.
- 1:45:44Speaker 1: I had to ask because you know how thrilled I
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: get when people listen on the iHeartMedia app from the
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: farther regions of the world.
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: Anyhow.
- 1:45:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I listen from there all the time on my app.
- 1:45:55Speaker 4: But anyway, so you were talking earlier about Trump and
- 1:45:58Speaker 4: Hollywood and how he's going to be offering the tax
- 1:46:00Speaker 4: incentives and that sort of thing. Well, I've got a
- 1:46:02Speaker 4: friend that actually she's filming the show called Reacher, and
- 1:46:06Speaker 4: she's doing an episode right now, and they're in Canada.
- 1:46:09Speaker 4: So half the time they're always in Canada, the U.K., Australia.
- 1:46:13Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:46:13Speaker 4: And different things like that. So I think what Trump
- 1:46:15Speaker 4: is doing, he's hired an ambassador, not hired, but he's
- 1:46:17Speaker 4: appointed an ambassador to Hollywood by James, or what's his name, Voight.
- 1:46:22Speaker 4: John Voight.
- 1:46:22Speaker 1: John Voight, yeah.
- 1:46:23Speaker 4: Who's a well-known conservative actor. Well, he's gone in and
- 1:46:27Speaker 4: he's brought a lot of things to Trump's attention. Like
- 1:46:30Speaker 4: a lot of people that are out of work are
- 1:46:31Speaker 4: like camera crews. electricians, set construction, wardrobe people, transportation, editing,
- 1:46:38Speaker 4: makeup people, hotels, restaurants, and that sort of thing. We're
- 1:46:41Speaker 4: losing all of that. It's not just the Hollywood actors.
- 1:46:44Speaker 4: And also, I think a good part of this.
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of like the auto industry losing
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: everybody connected with working on internal combustion engines because we
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: move over to electric vehicles, which have very few moving parts.
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: The world changes. The industry must adjust to changes. And
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: sometimes people lose jobs. Volkswagen just laid off another 50,000
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: autoworkers in Germany. You know, maybe changes to the tax
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: code might help them as well. But look, I don't
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: have any sympathy whatsoever for Hollywood, and I just puzzle
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: and scratch my head over why we would manipulate the
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: tax code to help that city of left-wing loons that
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: regularly demonize and criticize Trump and churn out content that
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: is against his administration as well as everything conservatives stand for.
- 1:47:24Speaker 4: Well, I think it brings more than just the Hollywood actors,
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: but it's all the people that work along with it
- 1:47:28Speaker 4: that will be bringing back their jobs here.
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: Right. And the waitresses that work in the restaurants that
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: work around the Hollywood studios probably aren't making as much
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: as they used to. We could go on and on.
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: The industry impacts a whole lot of jobs far outside
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: the movie industry, but that's the way of the world.
- 1:47:43Speaker 4: Now, look, OK, so now here's what I'm hearing, that
- 1:47:46Speaker 4: we are going to be we're going to start to
- 1:47:48Speaker 4: see a lot more conservative friendly shows. Like, I don't
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: know if you remember Paramount Plus, but there's a movie
- 1:47:54Speaker 4: on there called Lioness. And there's an episode from there
- 1:47:58Speaker 4: that's gone viral. And it's got Morgan Freeman in it.
- 1:48:01Speaker 4: It's a bunch of high-level government officials and three-letter agencies
- 1:48:05Speaker 4: and a couple of Russian spies all sitting around this table.
- 1:48:08Speaker 4: And now they talk about predictive programming, where shows or
- 1:48:11Speaker 4: movies predict what's actually going on, or they kind of
- 1:48:14Speaker 4: like soften you to what's going on. Well, in this episode,
- 1:48:17Speaker 4: which has gone viral, they're all talking... about how they
- 1:48:21Speaker 4: are owning the politicians and how they were going to
- 1:48:23Speaker 4: see so many resignations of senators, congressmen, movie moguls, CEOs
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: of major corporate NGOs, basically. And what it is is
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: that they're all compromised and they all are owned. And
- 1:48:35Speaker 4: they either come to them with the file of what
- 1:48:38Speaker 4: they've got on them And they say, okay, you either resign,
- 1:48:41Speaker 4: you never take office ever again, and you abide by
- 1:48:44Speaker 4: what we have you doing, or you will be arrested
- 1:48:47Speaker 4: immediately on the spot. And I think a lot of that,
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: a lot of the shows that you're going to see
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: coming out are going to start informing people of what's
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: really going on. And also Jim Caviezel is going to
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: be in a new movie called, oh gosh, what's the
- 1:49:02Speaker 4: name of it? It's called Ghost Soldier. And it's going
- 1:49:05Speaker 4: to be about some really good things that the world needs.
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: Well, let me observe those shows have already been produced
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: or in current production pre changes to the tax code
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: that might benefit Hollywood and keeping the movie industry in
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: Hollywood pursuant to this idea that Donald Trump is pushing,
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: which I find offensive because I hate the tax code
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: because it causes people to change their behavior just because
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: they get an incentive from the dollar, not because they
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: want to do it. But why is that content out
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: there and being created? Something I've observed year after year
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: after year. Hollywood's gone full woke, and the moment somebody like,
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: for example, who was it? Oh, come on. His name's
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: escaping me. The Christ movie.
- 1:49:50Speaker 4: Oh, Jim Caviezel, Passion of the Christ.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Passion of the Christ. Who was the actor that was
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: behind that?
- 1:49:54Speaker 4: That was Jim Caviezel.
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: Jim Caviezel, okay.
- 1:49:57Speaker 4: And Mel Gibson.
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: Mel Gibson. That was the one with the brain fart. Anyway,
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: that was wildly successful, wasn't it? It made millions and
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: millions of dollars. And I'm staring at there. I'm watching
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: the report on this movie making so much money. There's
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: a pent-up demand for conservative content, religious content in that part.
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: They could make fat bank. Hollywood was built on conservative values.
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: They used to prop up Christianity in all the movies
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: that came out. And you had just everyone, traditional values,
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: and it made them hand over fist money. They moved
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: away at some point from that guaranteed built-in revenue stream
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: and went full-on woke. They got all gay, lesbian, LGBTQ characters,
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. And people moved away from it.
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: Profits went down.
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: Huh.
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: Maybe there's a market for money-making material. They naturally, in
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: a capitalist mentality, decided, and look, more content's coming out
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: without a change in the tax code.
- 1:50:48Speaker 4: And that's the point of my call, because it's going
- 1:50:51Speaker 4: to turn around, and you're going to see that. And
- 1:50:52Speaker 4: you're already seeing it already in Lioness.
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: So why give them a tax break?
- 1:50:55Speaker 4: You're going to see it in Jim Carpenter. Oh, gosh.
- 1:50:59Speaker 4: I'm no fan of Hollywood, believe me. I'm so outspoken
- 1:51:02Speaker 4: about that. But I am hopeful for a turnaround, and
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: I'm seeing maybe that has something to do with it.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: Well, maybe.
- 1:51:08Speaker 4: And there's also Angel Network. Don't forget that. That's tremendously successful.
- 1:51:13Speaker 4: Get that instead of Netflix. Get your membership to Angel Network.
- 1:51:17Speaker 4: Amazing shows on there.
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: Capitalist alternatives to the crap that we're being fed from Hollywood.
- 1:51:22Speaker 1: And I also have to observe. You know, you're worried
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: about all those businesses and jobs related to moviemaking in
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: and around Hollywood. What about the thousands of businesses that
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: have fled the state of California generally, taking their money
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: and their revenue-generating employees to Florida? Make a movie in Florida.
- 1:51:38Speaker 1: Apparently the climate is really good there, and you don't
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: need a special tax incentive built into the federal tax code.
- 1:51:43Speaker 4: That's why I'm there.
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: There you go.
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: See?
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: So, back to this being a bad idea. The optics
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: are terrible because Donald Trump appears to be supporting a
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: specific city and region in California that is his arch
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: enemy in most cases. Hopefully the tide is turning as
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: you suggest, Maureen, and I can only pray for that outcome.
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: But why would you do this? I've been asking all morning.
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: Why incentivize it and also providing me a springboard for
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: getting rid of any incentivization built into the tax code?
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: Let's quit writing things off and being given the write-off
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: opportunity merely because you've got lobbyists in Washington, D.C. pressing
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: politicians to change the tax code for your client's best interests.
- 1:52:23Speaker 4: Well, this is one quote of his. So he's helping
- 1:52:26Speaker 4: American workers and simultaneously forcing Democrats and Hollywood interests to
- 1:52:31Speaker 4: come to him. And he likes that. That feeds his ego.
- 1:52:34Speaker 4: So Democrats have to capitulate to him now that he's
- 1:52:38Speaker 4: doing that.
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: So using the tax code for ego feeding? That seems
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: to be worse than capitulating to lobbyists.
- 1:52:43Speaker 4: Everything else I just said and all the other points
- 1:52:46Speaker 4: I just made. But one quick thing, not to change
- 1:52:48Speaker 4: the subject. Can we talk about Maria Bartolome next week
- 1:52:51Speaker 4: when you come back about how that's going to tie
- 1:52:53Speaker 4: her firing at Fox News? That's going to really reveal
- 1:52:57Speaker 4: a lot of information about the rigging of the 2020
- 1:53:00Speaker 4: election because she's going to be free to talk about
- 1:53:02Speaker 4: all of it.
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: Oh, I was just getting ready to ask you why
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: she got let go. I saw the headline, but I
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: didn't read the specifics. Did they provide an articulated reason
- 1:53:09Speaker 1: for her leaving?
- 1:53:10Speaker 4: There's a couple different reasons. They said she did a
- 1:53:13Speaker 4: screenshot of an internal memo that showed that they did
- 1:53:16Speaker 4: not want her to talk about Trump's speech on July 16th,
- 1:53:20Speaker 4: where he talked about China being complicit in the foreign
- 1:53:23Speaker 4: interference of our elections. And she wanted to talk more
- 1:53:26Speaker 4: about that. So that's one of the things. And then
- 1:53:29Speaker 4: she sent a screenshot of it to the White House, apparently, allegedly.
- 1:53:33Speaker 1: Well, you get the goods in order, and I'll read
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: into the story a little bit more. And I always
- 1:53:37Speaker 1: enjoy hearing from you, Maureen. It sparks some interesting conversations,
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: and I appreciate the back-and-forth exchange.
- 1:53:43Speaker 4: Thank you, Brian.
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: God bless you, Maureen. You enjoy your weekend and safe
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: travels when you make it back to Florida. 815 right now,
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: 55K or CD Talk Station. Phone lines are open. We've
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: got another segment to go before we get to Jack
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: Windsor from the Iowa Press Network.
- 1:53:56Speaker 7: 55KRC.
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: Our iHeartRadio Music Festival.
- 1:53:59Speaker 7: Presented by Station.
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: 819 and 55KRC, the talk station, three-day weekend, wonderful world.
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: Three is a three. Red versus two.
- 1:54:19Speaker 10: I see they're blue.
- 1:54:21Speaker 9: Four K-I-E.
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: Wonderful world. Yeah, I'm sure it's the tax code is
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: the reason people are bailing from Hollywood. It's got nothing
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: to do with the insanity of taxation out there. Nothing
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: to do with socialism creeping into the mix. Nothing to
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: do with, well, all the other companies that decided to
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: leave the area because, well, it's in their best financial interest.
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: There's a better world outside of California. Just go out
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: and find it. Don't get help from the tax code.
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: On that note, let's go over to the phones. Jay,
- 1:54:54Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Friday, brother.
- 1:54:55Speaker 10: Hey, happy Friday, Brian. Hey, I have to have it.
- 1:54:59Speaker 7: Why Trump is bailing out of Hollywood.
- 1:55:01Speaker 6: And it is, I think that the Republican party has
- 1:55:04Speaker 6: gone full on liberal commie that midterm elections are coming.
- 1:55:08Speaker 6: So let's, let's just wholesale adopt what the Democrats have
- 1:55:11Speaker 6: been doing for years and play Santa Claus and hand
- 1:55:13Speaker 6: out free stuff and.
- 1:55:14Speaker 11: Things like JD Vance was down in Middletown taking our
- 1:55:18Speaker 11: tax dollars, $ 500 million, uh, and giving them to a
- 1:55:22Speaker 11: steel plant that I think is pretty healthy business.
- 1:55:26Speaker 10: But, you know, and he looks ridiculous, cringeworthy, talking.
- 1:55:29Speaker 6: About his paw-paw work there.
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 1:55:32Speaker 6: And now we have Trump bailing out Hollywood.
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: And at the same time.
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: What?
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: Engaging in socialist-like methods of taking over oil production in
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: Venezuela by investing in a communist-run, socialist-run oil company that
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: will have to share the ownership with the The interim president,
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: as well as this, some argue, corrupt oil executive in Venezuela.
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: That sounds very sort of Bernie Sanders-esque there, Jay.
- 1:56:00Speaker 5: Oh, well, let me build on that.
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: Go ahead. I figured you would.
- 1:56:03Speaker 6: And in parallel, Justice Department investigating Kroger and Publix and
- 1:56:11Speaker 6: meatpacking plants because they suspect that there is price fixing
- 1:56:16Speaker 6: going on in beef, while at the same time there
- 1:56:19Speaker 6: has been news article after news article after news article
- 1:56:22Speaker 6: for months talking about there is a 20-year drought out
- 1:56:25Speaker 6: west and the herds of head, the number of cattle,
- 1:56:29Speaker 6: beef cattle, is at an all-time low. Why is it
- 1:56:33Speaker 6: at an all-time low? Because the price of fuel is
- 1:56:35Speaker 6: through the roof. So if you need to get feed
- 1:56:38Speaker 6: in when you don't have the ability to raise it,
- 1:56:41Speaker 6: You have to pay extra fertilizers through the roof, war
- 1:56:44Speaker 6: in Ukraine. And when Kroger has them to– and Publix
- 1:56:48Speaker 6: and Albertsons has the lawyer up to defend against the
- 1:56:52Speaker 6: Justice Department, number one, we're paying for the Justice Department lawyers.
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: I would think the.
- 1:56:57Speaker 6: Justice Department could go after Epstein files.
- 1:56:59Speaker 10: I think they could go after Hunter Biden.
- 1:57:02Speaker 6: I think they could go after the election fraud that's
- 1:57:06Speaker 6: going on. How about fraud, waste, and.
- 1:57:08Speaker 5: Abuse in Medicaid?
- 1:57:09Speaker 10: One of my favorites.
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: On and on.
- 1:57:11Speaker 6: But whenever Kroger has to absorb these costs, Brian, and
- 1:57:14Speaker 6: lawyer up, who pays for that?
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: You and I do.
- 1:57:18Speaker 5: It's going to get passed.
- 1:57:19Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be passed on to the consumer.
- 1:57:21Speaker 6: So not only is our federal tax is going to
- 1:57:23Speaker 6: go up as we're growing the Department of Justice that
- 1:57:26Speaker 6: doesn't do a damn thing. To put anybody– I haven't
- 1:57:29Speaker 6: seen anybody perp walk from auto-penned Joe Biden to Hunter
- 1:57:33Speaker 6: Biden to anything else, anything worth a pineapple they haven't
- 1:57:36Speaker 6: done anything with. And here we are bailing out every industry,
- 1:57:41Speaker 6: including California, Hollywood, for crying out loud. And I think that, honestly,
- 1:57:46Speaker 6: I think we talk about how come people aren't getting
- 1:57:48Speaker 6: behind Republican candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy. I think some of
- 1:57:53Speaker 6: this is flashing up on if somebody's not coming out
- 1:57:56Speaker 6: as a fire-breathing conservative hitting on all cylinders, I think
- 1:58:00Speaker 6: people are just getting disgusted on the right and saying,
- 1:58:03Speaker 6: I'm out because it doesn't matter. Trump was our guy.
- 1:58:06Speaker 3: J.D.
- 1:58:06Speaker 6: Vance was our guy. This was supposed to be the administration.
- 1:58:09Speaker 6: We're six years in, and we just, like I called
- 1:58:12Speaker 6: the other day, the big move was rolling the CAFE
- 1:58:15Speaker 6: standards back from 50 miles a gallon down to 35
- 1:58:18Speaker 6: and a half or something ridiculous like that. I think people,
- 1:58:21Speaker 6: I think as the left goes further left, I think
- 1:58:25Speaker 6: that there's an opportunity for a party on the right
- 1:58:27Speaker 6: to go further right than Republicans because I think people
- 1:58:30Speaker 6: are getting just more than angry that this Republican Party
- 1:58:35Speaker 6: looks a hell of a lot like the Democrat Party
- 1:58:37Speaker 6: of Bill Clinton.
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: Well, the Big Ten of the Republican Party includes libertarians,
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: which fundamentally fiscal responsibility, free markets, right?
- 1:58:44Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: And limited government. There's an opportunity for that. Let's bring
- 1:58:47Speaker 1: that concept back. Just don't call it the Tea Party
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: and maybe it'll catch on. Jay, thank you so much, brother.
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: It's good to hear from you as always. Have a
- 1:58:54Speaker 1: wonderful weekend. Let's get Bobby in real quick here before
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: we get to Jack Windsor. Bobby, welcome back to the show.
- 1:58:59Speaker 8: Hey, happy Friday, my brother. Happy weekend to all the listeners.
- 1:59:03Speaker 8: I tell you, Faith Flag family and you know the rest.
- 1:59:06Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
- 1:59:08Speaker 8: I got one thing for Tech Friday, all of your listeners.
- 1:59:11Speaker 8: Just remember one thing. You can't turn your phone on
- 1:59:17Speaker 8: unless you take the battery out.
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: You can't take the battery out.
- 1:59:19Speaker 3: Period. Period.
- 1:59:22Speaker 8: So if you're going to be roaming around doing things,
- 1:59:26Speaker 8: just always remember, you can be tracked.
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: You can, literally, which is why, as Dave has pointed out,
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: and I've got one too, a Faraday bag. For those
- 1:59:35Speaker 1: who don't have a removable battery from their phone like me,
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: get a Faraday bag. Put it in that, and no
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: one can track you. If that's your concern, that one's
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: covered or cheap. Get them on Amazon or wherever the
- 1:59:45Speaker 1: hell you buy a Faraday bag. Bobby, real quick, are
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: you changing your one violent crime since they shut off
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: the flock cameras? Do you think you want to make
- 1:59:52Speaker 1: a revision on your prediction for the weekend's violence in
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati?
- 1:59:56Speaker 8: I want to try to stay positive, my friend. I
- 1:59:59Speaker 8: was upset this morning when I heard that somebody had
- 2:00:02Speaker 8: a child thrown out there on the road.
- 2:00:04Speaker 5: I know.
- 2:00:05Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying? It just doesn't end. And
- 2:00:07Speaker 8: I'm going to stay positive, yes.
- 2:00:08Speaker 3: Good.
- 2:00:09Speaker 8: I want to stay a positive 110% and just tell
- 2:00:13Speaker 8: all your listeners and All the patriots out there, just
- 2:00:15Speaker 8: be safe.
- 2:00:16Speaker 3: You just did.
- 2:00:16Speaker 8: And look out for the person on the left-hand side
- 2:00:18Speaker 8: of you.
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: You just did, and I will echo your sentiments on
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: this Friday as we head into Labor Day weekend and
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: fun and activities. Just look for life's little miracles. They
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: are always around. You just got to search for them.
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: 825 right now. God bless you, Bobby. Don't go away.
- 2:00:32Speaker 1: Jack Windsor. 55KRC, the talk station. 8.29 on a Friday.
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: Happy one to you. Always extra special happy because we
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: get to talk with Jack Windsor from The Ohio Press Network,
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: which you can find online. Of course, TheOhioPressNetwork.com. Recommend you
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: do that. Welcome back, Jack. Happy Friday to you as
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: we go into a three-day weekend. Good to see you, man.
- 2:00:53Speaker 12: Brian, it's always good to be seen. Always great to
- 2:00:54Speaker 12: be here. Thank you for choosing me, man.
- 2:00:56Speaker 1: Hey, as always, it's a pleasure of mine. Following Amy Acton,
- 2:00:59Speaker 1: who's playing a Joe Biden strategy on her campaign, hiding
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: in the basement and refusing offers to debate Vivek Ramaswamy, who,
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: according to her spokesperson, is a scam artist and who stands,
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: this is their words or his words, stands with predators
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: and abusers. Really, did you get any flesh on the
- 2:01:17Speaker 1: bones of those allegations or accusations coming out of Acton's office,
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: Jack Windsor? Because it sounds alarming.
- 2:01:25Speaker 12: You would think so, right? This really is the attack
- 2:01:28Speaker 12: that the Democrats in Ohio are taking this election cycle.
- 2:01:32Speaker 12: A lot of smears, a lot of defamation, and they're
- 2:01:34Speaker 12: using their little propaganda media outlets to perpetrate and perpetuate.
- 2:01:39Speaker 2: But No.
- 2:01:40Speaker 12: And, you know, real quick, Vivek accepted two debate invitations, right? CNN,
- 2:01:46Speaker 12: WLWT there in your neck of the woods. Within hours,
- 2:01:49Speaker 12: Amy Acton's campaign said she won't do it. And you're
- 2:01:54Speaker 12: absolutely right. The statement was really alarming to some people.
- 2:01:58Speaker 12: The other interesting part is it was not made by
- 2:02:00Speaker 12: Amy Acton. It was made by Phil Stein.
- 2:02:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:02:03Speaker 12: And, you know, he said she wants to focus on
- 2:02:06Speaker 12: talking with Ohioans, not platforming a scam artist. Uh, so
- 2:02:11Speaker 12: the one conversation where every Ohioan gets to hear both
- 2:02:14Speaker 12: of them at once, she declined. And that was some
- 2:02:17Speaker 12: of the feedback that we got after we published our
- 2:02:19Speaker 12: story was, well, wait a minute, if he's a scam
- 2:02:22Speaker 12: artist and wait a minute, if these things are really true,
- 2:02:25Speaker 12: why don't you go on stage with him? Show your proof.
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: Call him out about it.
- 2:02:29Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:02:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: It's the best possible way, right? When he's got to
- 2:02:33Speaker 1: stand there in real time, respond to her hardcore accusations
- 2:02:36Speaker 1: about him being a scam artist and hanging out with
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: predators and abusers. Hell, you couldn't ask for a better forum.
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:02:45Speaker 12: And by the way, CNN was probably a little more
- 2:02:48Speaker 12: challenging for her. WLWT was going to have an empty
- 2:02:52Speaker 12: studio with the two of them at a table with
- 2:02:55Speaker 12: a moderator. It doesn't get any more simplistic than that.
- 2:02:59Speaker 12: And the word that we keep hearing, you're probably hearing
- 2:03:02Speaker 12: it too, is hiding. And, you know, not meant to
- 2:03:05Speaker 12: be an insult, but it's really a pattern. And, you know,
- 2:03:10Speaker 12: Her statement about him being a billionaire and being concerned
- 2:03:13Speaker 12: with his buddies, about his ads, about an AI post.
- 2:03:17Speaker 12: I mean, that's their case for staying off stage. And
- 2:03:21Speaker 12: you've heard me talk about the Ohio Capital Journal on
- 2:03:24Speaker 12: this show before as part of that fake newsroom network
- 2:03:27Speaker 12: in Ohio. So they're not friendly to Vivek at all.
- 2:03:31Speaker 12: And they even quoted a political scientist calling the refusal
- 2:03:35Speaker 12: political malpractice. Because the debate is exactly where you answer
- 2:03:40Speaker 12: a lie to your opponent's face. And so even her
- 2:03:43Speaker 12: side can't defend it. But when you use the word hiding,
- 2:03:47Speaker 12: we've seen this before, right? When things got tough during COVID,
- 2:03:50Speaker 12: she didn't want to be front and center anymore. She
- 2:03:52Speaker 12: wanted to be Governor Mike DeWine's personal medical advisor. And
- 2:03:56Speaker 12: then eventually the heat in the kitchen got too much
- 2:03:59Speaker 12: and she had to walk out. So this is a
- 2:04:01Speaker 12: pattern that voters are starting to recognize that the pulse
- 2:04:04Speaker 12: I have, I'm interested in what you're hearing. is that
- 2:04:06Speaker 12: it's probably not going to change the minds of people
- 2:04:08Speaker 12: who are going to vote for her anyway, but it
- 2:04:10Speaker 12: might turn off some independent voters that were on the fence.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: Well, and hopefully those odd Republicans out there who aren't
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: inclined to vote for Vivek Ramasamy for reasons completely unknown
- 2:04:20Speaker 1: to me and the ones that have been articulated to
- 2:04:22Speaker 1: me make absolutely no sense, Jack. at least from a
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: traditional conservative-leaning perspective or even, for me, libertarian-leaning perspective. I
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: see no problem with him. Is he ideal? No one's ideal, Jack.
- 2:04:36Speaker 1: But he's a damn sight better than Amy I'm hiding
- 2:04:38Speaker 1: in my basement acting.
- 2:04:41Speaker 12: I mean, there are so many things we could talk about.
- 2:04:44Speaker 12: They lose me at villainizing billionaires.
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: I know.
- 2:04:47Speaker 12: The world I live in, if you put value into
- 2:04:49Speaker 12: the economy, you get money back. That's called success, and
- 2:04:52Speaker 12: I don't think you villainize that.
- 2:04:54Speaker 3: But you're right.
- 2:04:56Speaker 12: And it's really it's interesting and it might be a
- 2:04:59Speaker 12: sign of the times that we are in. My wife
- 2:05:00Speaker 12: and I were talking about this this morning, 20 years ago, Brian,
- 2:05:04Speaker 12: most of us still watched, you know, the three major networks.
- 2:05:06Speaker 12: We read our newspapers. Now, all of a sudden, everybody's
- 2:05:09Speaker 12: got a Facebook platform, a podcast and is making noise.
- 2:05:14Speaker 12: And it's really hard to sometimes unearth the truth. But
- 2:05:19Speaker 12: what that really does is it gives everybody kind of
- 2:05:22Speaker 12: this sense of I matter more than the bigger movement.
- 2:05:25Speaker 12: And that's really intriguing to me. If you're a Republican,
- 2:05:28Speaker 12: if your idea is I'm not going to vote for
- 2:05:31Speaker 12: either because neither of them is ideal, that to me,
- 2:05:34Speaker 12: and I hate to say it, I'm going to get
- 2:05:35Speaker 12: criticism for this, is very arrogant. You know, we had
- 2:05:39Speaker 12: men and women who gave up everything to found this
- 2:05:41Speaker 12: country and to make sure that the Republic was built
- 2:05:45Speaker 12: and protected. And now we have people who can't vote
- 2:05:48Speaker 12: for somebody because they're not in lockstep 100% of the time.
- 2:05:51Speaker 12: It's a really weird time.
- 2:05:52Speaker 3: We live in.
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: And let me just note as we pause for a
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: break here, Jack Windsor, even our founding fathers had a
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: lot of warts themselves as we've come to learn time
- 2:06:00Speaker 1: and time again. Yep, absolutely.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: And yet. And yet.
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: And yet. 835, don't go away. We're going to continue
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: with Jack Windsor from TheOhioPressNetwork.com. Coming up, Sherrod Brent.
- 2:06:11Speaker 2: 839-55-KRC-D Talk Station. It's Friday.
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: We spend Fridays at the tail end of the show,
- 2:06:18Speaker 1: like Thursdays with iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff, Jack Windsor
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: from TheOhioPressNetwork.com, pivoting away from Amy hiding in her basement
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: locked down acting over to Sherrod Brown and his connection
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: with maybe, I don't know, Springfield Haitians? Jack Windsor? He's
- 2:06:35Speaker 1: in bed with the Haitians like Governor Mike DeWine is?
- 2:06:39Speaker 12: Yeah, so Sherrod Brown put out a statement Monday night
- 2:06:42Speaker 12: on the death of a young man in Springfield. And,
- 2:06:46Speaker 12: you know, half of it was condolences. The other half
- 2:06:49Speaker 12: is a policy position. Talking about Pierre Dama Bell, 20,
- 2:06:53Speaker 12: Wright State freshman, soccer player. I understand he was a
- 2:06:57Speaker 12: Marine Corps junior ROTC. He lost TPS after the Supreme
- 2:07:02Speaker 12: Court cleared its termination. ICE put him in an ankle
- 2:07:08Speaker 12: monitor and did that on July 29th. And then Monday morning,
- 2:07:11Speaker 12: he allegedly stepped into traffic on I-70. Now, the family
- 2:07:15Speaker 12: says he took his own life and State Highway Patrol
- 2:07:17Speaker 12: is still investigating. But that night, Sherrod Brown put out
- 2:07:20Speaker 12: a statement. And the first half of it, I would
- 2:07:22Speaker 12: have put my name on, Brian, frankly. Then he says
- 2:07:25Speaker 12: every Ohioan deserves dignity and to feel safe and that
- 2:07:28Speaker 12: he agrees with Governor DeWine that ending TPS was wrong.
- 2:07:32Speaker 12: And that's where I stopped. And I asked, really? Every Ohioan?
- 2:07:38Speaker 12: Have you asked Springfield Heritage Residents? Because what Springfield actually
- 2:07:44Speaker 12: says is not that. There's been exactly one survey of
- 2:07:48Speaker 12: Springfield residents on this, and it was April of this year,
- 2:07:51Speaker 12: and the research done for Josh Lisek's book, they were
- 2:07:55Speaker 12: asked whether they approve or disapprove of the Haitian influx, 50%.
- 2:08:00Speaker 12: strongly disapprove, 11.8% somewhat disapprove.
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: So what is that?
- 2:08:05Speaker 12: 67.7%? Two of three say, no, we don't want this.
- 2:08:12Speaker 12: So again, and I'm going to draw this parallel, you
- 2:08:15Speaker 12: have Sherrod Brown speaking on behalf of a third and
- 2:08:20Speaker 12: pretending that he's speaking for the majority. And by the way,
- 2:08:23Speaker 12: he's doing the same thing with the Save America Act. 83%
- 2:08:27Speaker 12: of Ohioans support photo ID to prove you're a citizen
- 2:08:31Speaker 12: to get on the voter rolls and then one to
- 2:08:33Speaker 12: vote at the polls. And so Sherrod Brown, again, taking
- 2:08:37Speaker 12: the minority position and then trying to spread it over
- 2:08:40Speaker 12: the entire population and pretend like he's doing the bidding
- 2:08:44Speaker 12: of the majority.
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: Well, fair enough. And you allow me to double back
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: on my point about the opposition to flock cameras. It's
- 2:08:51Speaker 1: all the rage these days because some very small, limited
- 2:08:54Speaker 1: number of officers abuse the system. And, of course, the
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: data sharing issue. But usually it's cited that some officers
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: used it in some nefarious way, violating the department rules.
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: But that one instance is enough to ban the entire system.
- 2:09:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: We can't have it because it is capable of abuse.
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: Jack Windsor, same thing with voting. They don't scream and
- 2:09:12Speaker 1: yell about it. There is documented cases of voter fraud
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: out there. It's all over the place. Not a whole lot, though.
- 2:09:17Speaker 1: It's just not that much. It can impact anything. But
- 2:09:20Speaker 1: if there's any of it going on and there are
- 2:09:21Speaker 1: mechanisms to stop it from going on, why in the
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: hell are you standing in the way from it? Huh?
- 2:09:27Speaker 12: I love that you just teed it up. I'm going
- 2:09:29Speaker 12: to make two separate points here.
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: Knock yourself out.
- 2:09:32Speaker 12: Number one, can you imagine if you were before a
- 2:09:37Speaker 12: judge and you were guilty of murder? And he said, judge,
- 2:09:41Speaker 12: listen up. Murder doesn't happen that often. So we really
- 2:09:44Speaker 12: should not have laws against murder. It is so asinine.
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: That's the DSA platform.
- 2:09:48Speaker 3: That's number one.
- 2:09:50Speaker 12: And then number two, this is what's crazy. And you've
- 2:09:52Speaker 12: identified it, right? You just spoke it. Here's what happens
- 2:09:55Speaker 12: with Democrats, progressives. And by the way, they're pals in
- 2:09:58Speaker 12: the press. Almost every member of the state house press
- 2:10:01Speaker 12: corps in Ohio does this. First, what do they tell you?
- 2:10:03Speaker 12: It's not happening. And then it's happening, but it's not
- 2:10:07Speaker 12: happening to scale. And then it's, OK, it's happening to scale.
- 2:10:10Speaker 12: But if you don't support this bigot, then you're a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 2:10:14Speaker 12: I mean, it is the same cycle over and over
- 2:10:17Speaker 12: and over again. And we are either a nation of
- 2:10:19Speaker 12: laws or a nation of mob rule. And the founders
- 2:10:22Speaker 12: were very clear about how dangerous it is to have
- 2:10:25Speaker 12: a pure democracy. And that mob mob rule takes over.
- 2:10:28Speaker 1: Well, pivoting back to the Haitians and the temporary protected status,
- 2:10:31Speaker 1: we are a nation of laws, Jack. And it took
- 2:10:32Speaker 1: a Supreme Court to read the name of the law,
- 2:10:36Speaker 1: which says, temporary protected status. And the law defines specifically
- 2:10:40Speaker 1: that temporary is indeed the word definitionally speaking temporary as
- 2:10:44Speaker 1: in not permanent. Wow. All the way to the Supreme
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: court to point that out. And people are outraged that
- 2:10:49Speaker 1: guess what the, they made good on what the law
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: says is which after a certain conflict or problem that
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: led them here and gave them for temporary protected status
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: has resolved itself or at any other time an administration
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: wants to do it, they can pull the plug.
- 2:11:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:11:01Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:11:02Speaker 12: And, and so first of all, it's lawful. Second of all,
- 2:11:05Speaker 12: I mean, people knew this was coming back in 2024.
- 2:11:09Speaker 12: I mean, they've had two years to get things in order.
- 2:11:12Speaker 12: And by the way, the federal government has incented them
- 2:11:15Speaker 12: to do that. And the federal government said, if you
- 2:11:16Speaker 12: leave and you take our money to help yourself get
- 2:11:19Speaker 12: a plane ticket and go where you need to go,
- 2:11:21Speaker 12: and then you reapply, we may honor that. And so
- 2:11:25Speaker 12: they've made every exit ramp available. And here's the crazy part.
- 2:11:30Speaker 12: And I want to be careful here. I'm not using
- 2:11:32Speaker 12: this young man's death as a platform to push a policy.
- 2:11:37Speaker 12: But here's what's intriguing. Let's go back to two very
- 2:11:41Speaker 12: recent and relevant things. Do you remember the 11-year-old who
- 2:11:44Speaker 12: was killed in Springfield, Ohio because an illegal alien hit
- 2:11:47Speaker 12: a bus? And if anybody talked about that, the people
- 2:11:50Speaker 12: who were in support of the Haitians bastardized them, they
- 2:11:53Speaker 12: castigated them, they alienated them, they labeled them. And then
- 2:11:56Speaker 12: fast forward, John Husted has a PAC. I don't even
- 2:11:59Speaker 12: think he did the ad. A PAC creates this ad
- 2:12:01Speaker 12: that has images of an accident where people die. And
- 2:12:07Speaker 12: he gets, same thing, treatment, castigated, right? You cannot use
- 2:12:10Speaker 12: this for political purposes. Okay, why are Mike DeWine and
- 2:12:16Speaker 12: Sherrod Brown now able to use this awful death of
- 2:12:20Speaker 12: a 20-year-old student to promote their political policies? It's, again, inconsistent, asinine,
- 2:12:26Speaker 12: and the bottom line is, We are either a nation
- 2:12:28Speaker 12: of laws or we're not. I get that the ankle
- 2:12:30Speaker 12: monitor might feel cruel, and I get that that might
- 2:12:34Speaker 12: not be his ideal. But again, did Sherrod Brown go
- 2:12:38Speaker 12: talk to the 72% of Springfield residents? No, he didn't.
- 2:12:43Speaker 12: And neither did the mainstream press. And so again, we're
- 2:12:45Speaker 12: getting a very small sliver of opinion. And if people
- 2:12:50Speaker 12: don't pay attention, they're going to be liable to think
- 2:12:52Speaker 12: that Everybody in Springfield thinks that the Haitians ought to stay,
- 2:12:55Speaker 12: and that's not the case.
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: Well, perhaps the only use of that poor 20-year-old who
- 2:12:58Speaker 1: apparently committed suicide walking into traffic is to perhaps illustrate
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: and use it as a vehicle to remind everyone it
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: is Mental Health Awareness Month in September, and we have
- 2:13:08Speaker 1: issues of suicidal ideation. We have suicide problems, and there
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: are resources and help out there that people can get.
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: Be your brother's keeper. Keep an eye on your loved
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: ones and help them get the help that they need
- 2:13:18Speaker 1: to avoid problems like that from happening. Don't go away.
- 2:13:21Speaker 1: Jack Windsor is going to address... Ah, he's shifted his gears.
- 2:13:24Speaker 1: Greg Lansman's now against socialism, but he used to be
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: in favor of it. Where is he? There's a lot
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: of Democrats doing that these days. 846 right now, 55KRC,
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: the talk station. 55KRC, the talk station. It is 850
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: on a Friday as we head into a Labor Day weekend.
- 2:13:45Speaker 1: Final segment with Jack Windsor from TheOhioPressNetwork.com. Go ahead and
- 2:13:48Speaker 1: bookmark that one. Be glad you did. Tune in every
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: Friday beginning at 830 for Jack's commentary. And as we
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: pivot over to Greg Lansman. Does he think he can
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: pull a Ronald Reagan and get away with it? Come on.
- 2:13:58Speaker 1: Reagan was a Democrat and then he turned Republican and
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: he ended up leading the nation and proving his change
- 2:14:02Speaker 1: of party by his platforms and his positions and policies.
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: Can Greg Lansman get away from that? He used to
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: be a commie or a socialist or at least a
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: left-winger full-on.
- 2:14:13Speaker 3: Jack?
- 2:14:15Speaker 12: Yeah, great question. So, you know, he wants to be
- 2:14:18Speaker 12: the adult in the room, but he's voting with the 15%.
- 2:14:20Speaker 12: And talking about your congressman there, he went on camera
- 2:14:23Speaker 12: Monday night and said Democrats have to be the adults
- 2:14:25Speaker 12: in the room who get things done. Posted it in
- 2:14:28Speaker 12: a video. He said, we've got to be the most
- 2:14:30Speaker 12: reliable adult in the room. Anytime something pops up, we
- 2:14:33Speaker 12: solve it. Getting things done has to be the number
- 2:14:35Speaker 12: one priority. That was Monday. And then Tuesday afternoon, House
- 2:14:38Speaker 12: Resolution 1490 comes up condemning socialism in all forms and
- 2:14:42Speaker 12: names the Democratic Socialists of America. and calls for the
- 2:14:45Speaker 12: Save America Act. Again, proof of citizenship to register, photo
- 2:14:49Speaker 12: ID to vote. And Lansman votes no. And he votes
- 2:14:53Speaker 12: with all of the Democrats in Ohio's congressional delegation, except
- 2:14:57Speaker 12: Marcy Kaptur, who didn't vote because she wasn't there. But
- 2:15:01Speaker 12: here's the weird part. He already voted to condemn socialism
- 2:15:04Speaker 12: back in 2025 in November. But then when he did that,
- 2:15:08Speaker 12: he went to Facebook and said, listen, the bill denounced
- 2:15:11Speaker 12: the killing of 100 million people, not free buses. And
- 2:15:14Speaker 12: then he went and told Cincinnati City Beat that the
- 2:15:17Speaker 12: bill was absurd, but he was condemning deadly regimes. Well,
- 2:15:20Speaker 12: what's the difference? Here's the difference. The Save America Act
- 2:15:24Speaker 12: was stapled to the condemnation of socialism. And you go, okay, well,
- 2:15:29Speaker 12: he and Hakeem Jeffries, they tell you this is racist.
- 2:15:32Speaker 12: It's a bad policy. Neither is true. I don't know
- 2:15:36Speaker 12: if you've ever seen, Brian, the Harlem tape. It's been
- 2:15:40Speaker 12: on social media for years now. There's a reporter that
- 2:15:43Speaker 12: goes and talks to, you know, the elite white college
- 2:15:45Speaker 12: kids and asks them about voter ID. And they basically say, yeah,
- 2:15:49Speaker 12: the blacks can't find the BMV. They can't care. They
- 2:15:53Speaker 12: can't be responsible to carry their IDs. And the same
- 2:15:57Speaker 12: goes to Harlem. And they're just pissed, right? They're like,
- 2:16:01Speaker 12: what are you talking about? Yeah, it's at 125th and
- 2:16:03Speaker 12: 54th Street right there. I know exactly where it is.
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: Yes, I have my ID.
- 2:16:06Speaker 12: Always carry my ID. Yes, I have a smartphone. Yes,
- 2:16:08Speaker 12: I have unlimited data. Yes, I know how to And
- 2:16:10Speaker 12: so it's the 15% talking down to the 84%, which
- 2:16:14Speaker 12: is the case. 84% of voters across the board want
- 2:16:18Speaker 12: the Save America Act. And Greg Lansman says, I'm not
- 2:16:22Speaker 12: going to poo-poo socialism because Save America Act is bad.
- 2:16:25Speaker 12: So Greg Lansman, again, being in that elitist 15% that
- 2:16:30Speaker 12: wants to stand at the top of the mountain and
- 2:16:32Speaker 12: lecture down to everybody else. That's the long and short
- 2:16:35Speaker 12: of it on that video. But he's locked in a race.
- 2:16:37Speaker 12: I don't know how close it's going to be, but
- 2:16:39Speaker 12: it's going to be interesting.
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: Interesting indeed. So you're suggesting then because he's against the
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: SAVE Act, he buys into the collective insulting from the
- 2:16:48Speaker 1: elite segment of the white college-educated liberal crowd that black
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: people are stupid, which is exactly how I read that statement.
- 2:16:55Speaker 1: They can't get an ID. I mean, he agrees with that.
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: They're incapable of going through the process, as everyone in
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: that video has showed. That's nonsense, and it's insulting when
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: they hear the words being spoken on their behalf.
- 2:17:09Speaker 12: Well, listen, I'll give you an analogy. If you put
- 2:17:12Speaker 12: on an Ohio State jersey and you're on the team,
- 2:17:15Speaker 12: people assume you're a good player because Ohio State recruits
- 2:17:17Speaker 12: good players. Put on an Alabama jersey five years ago,
- 2:17:19Speaker 12: people think you're a great player because Nick Saban recruits
- 2:17:22Speaker 12: great players. You put the D beside your name and
- 2:17:24Speaker 12: people assume you're a Democrat. Let's not forget who they are.
- 2:17:27Speaker 12: They wanted to keep slavery. They started the KKK. They
- 2:17:30Speaker 12: have used blacks and minorities since that party's existence as
- 2:17:35Speaker 12: pawns in their chess match to get and keep power.
- 2:17:38Speaker 12: So of course, Greg Lansman is going to try to
- 2:17:40Speaker 12: speak on behalf of people that he and his party
- 2:17:44Speaker 12: pals will tell you are too dumb to do it themselves.
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: Well, and one quick comment, when you're talking about Lansman,
- 2:17:49Speaker 1: talking about we get things done, we're going to do things.
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: What in the God's name does he mean by things?
- 2:17:56Speaker 1: And when he's presented with a thing the following day,
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: you get a real clear reflection of exactly what isn't
- 2:18:00Speaker 1: on his list of things that they're going to get done.
- 2:18:03Speaker 1: They get away with so much slack language, Jack Windsor.
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: No one ever presses them on it. No one ever says,
- 2:18:07Speaker 1: wait a second, what are you talking about?
- 2:18:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:18:11Speaker 12: I use the analogy, they co-opt language because they have to,
- 2:18:13Speaker 12: because nobody's going to eat a turd. But if you
- 2:18:15Speaker 12: put varnish on it, they might trick you into thinking
- 2:18:18Speaker 12: it's a Snickers bar. But the bottom line is the
- 2:18:21Speaker 12: thing that's wrong with what Landsman is saying is they
- 2:18:24Speaker 12: treat these issues like social issues. That's the label that
- 2:18:29Speaker 12: they put on stuff to try to get you to
- 2:18:30Speaker 12: dismiss it. I can't think of anything more important than
- 2:18:34Speaker 12: you telling clearly and loudly to the world what your
- 2:18:37Speaker 12: worldview is. Because how you think and how you feel
- 2:18:40Speaker 12: absolutely drives every policy decision. And so if you can't
- 2:18:44Speaker 12: stand up and say socialism is bad, it's anti-American, what
- 2:18:48Speaker 12: you're telling me is you want a big government, you
- 2:18:51Speaker 12: want more of my money, and you think you know
- 2:18:53Speaker 12: better than God, my family, and myself. And that's just
- 2:18:56Speaker 12: not what America is.
- 2:18:58Speaker 1: We are always clear as glass on our opinions, Jack Windsor.
