Speaker 1: will admit that my brain is still swirling. I apologize

0:40
Speaker 1: thing's going to impact me, but I just on top
0:43

Speaker 1: So apologies right up front, falling on the you know,

1:03
Speaker 1: Thank you Dan Carol for covering for me for the
1:05
Speaker 1: last several days while I try to work through my issues.
1:07
Speaker 1: Certainly appreciate having him there. And of course Joe Strekker
1:10
Speaker 1: is where he belongs to, Executive producer of the fifty
1:12
Speaker 1: five KRCY Morning Show, Coming to my Aid and Rescue
1:15
Speaker 1: seven oh five. It is Thursday that means we get
1:17
Speaker 1: to talk with Congressman Warren Davidson plenty to talk with
1:20
Speaker 1: him about. Of course, the meeting between jj and Ping
1:23
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump. They've got millions of things to talk
1:25
Speaker 1: about over there, and I don't know, given the list
1:28
Speaker 1: of things that they're going to try to get through,
1:30
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can accomplishment and a bit
1:31
Speaker 1: accomplish it about three days, but Iran trade Taiwan, uh
1:38
Speaker 1: just the two day summit, So I don't know how
1:42
Speaker 1: you can resolve all these problems or even you know, anyway,
1:46
Speaker 1: Donald Trump projecting a very strong positive relationship with Jijen Ping,
1:50
Speaker 1: Jjin Ping saying the same thing. But when push comes
1:53
Speaker 1: to shove, what exactly are they going to agree on
1:55
Speaker 1: or disagree on as the case may be, And will
1:57
Speaker 1: anything get accomplished on that particular meeting fingers crossed on that.
2:01
Speaker 1: We'll get Congressman Davidson's comments on that. Also on the
2:04
Speaker 1: Iran situation, and you know, it's kind of funny for
2:08
Speaker 1: weeks now, Daniel Davis Deep Dive every Tuesday at eight thirty,
2:11
Speaker 1: he keeps saying, you know, well, Iran's got like gazillions
2:14
Speaker 1: of drones and rockets. We haven't destroyed all the drones
2:18
Speaker 1: and rockets. They are literally everywhere you can think of
2:20
Speaker 1: in that country. Many people are observing, and more and
2:23
Speaker 1: more frequently it is now reported well backing up what
2:27
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis has been saying, that they have retained massive
2:31
Speaker 1: quantities of rockets and drones and you can literally manufacture
2:34
Speaker 1: a drone in any person's basement, and given the sign
2:37
Speaker 1: of the size of the country, that means it's impossible
2:40
Speaker 1: to find all the drone manufacturing facilities. And the concern
2:42
Speaker 1: is the Iranians and one of the levers they hold,
2:47
Speaker 1: those bombs and those drones are going to be unleashed
2:51
Speaker 1: on the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the other
2:54
Speaker 1: oil producers in the region, many of whom are trying
2:56
Speaker 1: to are starting to lean more toward the United States
2:58
Speaker 1: position towards Iran rather than the well let's just pack
3:03
Speaker 1: up our things and go home and let things go camp,
3:06
Speaker 1: you know. France anyway confirming that, and now we find
3:10
Speaker 1: out that they have subs out there. We have thousands
3:12
Speaker 1: of these mosquito votes out there posing a substantial threat
3:16
Speaker 1: and keeping the golf shut down. So what does one
3:19
Speaker 1: do with that. And of course the biggest problem Donald
3:21
Speaker 1: Trump faces the November elections with an economy that is
3:24
Speaker 1: really reeling. Yes, inflation, as you've seen the numbers, and
3:27
Speaker 1: I'm sure my listening audience is paying close attention to them. Yes,
3:30
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline, the price of oil has really
3:33
Speaker 1: thrown a monkey wrench in an otherwise great economy. If
3:35
Speaker 1: you look at the market, you look at the jobs,
3:37
Speaker 1: you look at the current growth, our economy is not
3:40
Speaker 1: really doing that bad. In fact, some could argue pretty
3:43
Speaker 1: darn good in spite of the challenges we face in
3:46
Speaker 1: this world. And I keep going back, are you going
3:50
Speaker 1: to vote for Democrats because the economy is bad right
3:54
Speaker 1: now in this moment in time, as if any president
3:56
Speaker 1: or any administration could magically flip a switch and change
3:59
Speaker 1: the reality of this. But it is Donald Trump's fault
4:01
Speaker 1: for launching conflict in against the Iranians, no kidding. Many
4:06
Speaker 1: people suggest someone had to do it. Many people point
4:10
Speaker 1: out the fact that administration after administration has wanted to
4:14
Speaker 1: and paid lip service to the idea of going after
4:16
Speaker 1: the Iranians to end this nonsense, including the state sponsorship
4:19
Speaker 1: of terrorism making the place an unstable world place in
4:22
Speaker 1: the world. Donald Trump finally does it, and now he's
4:26
Speaker 1: getting blamed for the realities that go along with launching
4:29
Speaker 1: a war. So obviously Congressman Davidson has thoughts and comments
4:33
Speaker 1: on that, and uh, well, they shot down another effort
4:37
Speaker 1: to shut down the war the other day. It was
4:39
Speaker 1: a Senate vote on the War Powers resolution. It failed,
4:45
Speaker 1: and I guess I kind of have to ask out loud,
4:47
Speaker 1: and I am on the side that says Congress should
4:50
Speaker 1: have been involved, I think legally as was required, although
4:53
Speaker 1: nobody's been doing it. Let's go back to every administration
4:56
Speaker 1: prior to the Trump administration's current one, where we'd launched
4:59
Speaker 1: bombs and dropped int started wars with other countries. You know,
5:01
Speaker 1: the old story Libya is a good example. With Obama,
5:04
Speaker 1: nobody's screaming and yelled about him, nobody throwing a war
5:06
Speaker 1: powers authorization in front of him. So where are we
5:10
Speaker 1: fast and loose? I personally am a lawyer, and I
5:14
Speaker 1: believe in the law, and I believe in the rule
5:15
Speaker 1: of law, and like Thomas Massey, I believe in the Constitution.
5:19
Speaker 1: I believe in what it says. But we play fast
5:23
Speaker 1: and loose these days. So what is the practical reality
5:26
Speaker 1: of us if the War Powers resolution had been you know,
5:29
Speaker 1: had passed and he is authority is limited or otherwise
5:31
Speaker 1: requires specific Congressional authorization of some finite amount, or we
5:37
Speaker 1: pull the plug recognizing all the crazy challenges we face
5:44
Speaker 1: right now in the middle of negotiations with the Iranians,
5:46
Speaker 1: the pressure they have with their flea boats and their submarines,
5:49
Speaker 1: and the closure of the strait of horror moves and YadA, YadA, YadA,
5:51
Speaker 1: and the likelihood that we will go after and start
5:54
Speaker 1: blowing up their civilian infrastructure you know where, to stalemate
5:56
Speaker 1: basically with negotiations. Would you walk away from that right now,
6:03
Speaker 1: at this moment in time practical to even consider just
6:06
Speaker 1: pulling the plug and going home, I think we would
6:09
Speaker 1: be in a much worse position, in spite of my
6:12
Speaker 1: belief that Congress should have been involved on some level.
6:15
Speaker 1: Can you really unring the bell of where we are
6:17
Speaker 1: right now by just saying sorry, sucks to be you,
6:20
Speaker 1: We're leaving. I struggle with that one, I truly truly do.
6:27
Speaker 1: And also I'm struggling with this because I am up
6:29
Speaker 1: to my eyeballs as any human being who watches television
6:32
Speaker 1: during the evening is with the Congressman Massy at Gowrain ads.
6:36
Speaker 1: And you know, now I think it's artificial intelligence, because
6:39
Speaker 1: I cannot believe Congressman Masterly at MASSI actually held hands
6:43
Speaker 1: with Alexandria Casio Cortez and elan Omar while getting into cars.
6:48
Speaker 1: You see these AI created ads, and some people may
6:51
Speaker 1: be swayed by them. And guess what people are newly
6:55
Speaker 1: released Quantus Insights poull you got till next Tuesday to vote.
6:58
Speaker 1: Early votings out there, and it's not looking for Congressman Massey.
7:01
Speaker 1: Sadly the Quantis insides poll. Yes, I acknowledge not everyone
7:07
Speaker 1: believes in polling. It's just one that came out and
7:10
Speaker 1: was in front of me. Given that the Tuesday is
7:12
Speaker 1: the primary, chose Massy trailing ed goawrang fifty three to
7:19
Speaker 1: forty five among likely Republican primary voters. Among the most
7:24
Speaker 1: committed GOP voters, gall Rain held a narrow but still
7:28
Speaker 1: significantly to forty eight to forty three. So and what
7:32
Speaker 1: it comes down to, as any keen observer notes, guess
7:35
Speaker 1: what We've got an election in November here in Ohio.
7:37
Speaker 1: And I would love to have all of my listeners
7:39
Speaker 1: go out and vote. I'd love to have all my
7:41
Speaker 1: listeners gather up people, friends, neighbors, relatives. Let's make a
7:44
Speaker 1: go vote party. Let's encourage people to get out and vote.
7:47
Speaker 1: Because with the economy being a drag on well things,
7:52
Speaker 1: Republican and Republican candidates, will you be motivated to go
7:56
Speaker 1: out and vote even though you're personally dissatisfied with current
7:59
Speaker 1: state of affairs and so far as gas and the
8:00
Speaker 1: ripple effect it's having on literally everything, inflation up like
8:03
Speaker 1: six percent. You got to get out and vote. That's
8:07
Speaker 1: the point. In Kentucky, University of Kentucky professor al Cross said,
8:11
Speaker 1: you know, Gallerin does have momentum, but turnout is dispositive
8:15
Speaker 1: in these primaries, and it's hard to predict, right, because
8:18
Speaker 1: very few people go out in primaries. Anyway, Will this
8:20
Speaker 1: one get you off your seat and going out to vote?
8:23
Speaker 1: Are you going Gallerrain, You're going to go a Congressman Massy?
8:27
Speaker 1: At least Massy is committed to his constituents and to
8:32
Speaker 1: the Constitution of the United States of America. Going back
8:34
Speaker 1: to my point earlier, the rule of law, Yes, he
8:38
Speaker 1: does buck the trend of people capitulating to Donald Trump.
8:42
Speaker 1: Is it a Republican agenda or is it a Trump agenda?
8:45
Speaker 1: And I kind of question what is the Republican agenda?
8:48
Speaker 1: Is the Republican agenda now purely what Donald Trump wants,
8:51
Speaker 1: a pure maga agenda? Or do they have their own
8:54
Speaker 1: list of Republican platform positions which we used to have
8:58
Speaker 1: all the time. And where does the Constant sit among
9:00
Speaker 1: those priorities? You do take an oath of office swearing
9:04
Speaker 1: to a pull the constitution. Somebody at least is Congressman
9:07
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey. And it isn't always a pretty thing, is it?
9:10
Speaker 1: Because the Constitution does not allow for expedients, It doesn't
9:13
Speaker 1: allow for her rumphing over whether or not someone is
9:15
Speaker 1: the authorization to launch a war for example.
9:18
Speaker 2: Hm hm.
9:20
Speaker 1: According to Quanta Inside Analysis the pollsters, Massey is not
9:24
Speaker 1: out of contention, but the burden out falls on the
9:26
Speaker 1: incumbent to recover and quickly any late movement possible, reassemble
9:32
Speaker 1: undecided Republicans and persuade voters. And that independence is an
9:35
Speaker 1: asset rather than a liability. Well, I certainly think it is,
9:38
Speaker 1: but can you pull that off between now and Tuesday?
9:43
Speaker 1: Has anyone paid attention to a Gollrain or Massy ad
9:46
Speaker 1: in the past couple of weeks. I know my eye's
9:48
Speaker 1: gloss over. In fact, I will turn the volume down.
9:51
Speaker 1: I've heard it over and over and over again. Anyway, Massy,
9:59
Speaker 1: what did he do to piss off Trump? If I
10:01
Speaker 1: can be so bold, the one big beautiful bill you
10:04
Speaker 1: pose that? Why this is one of the gowering points.
10:07
Speaker 1: You know, you opposed Donald Trump's one big beautiful bill.
10:10
Speaker 1: But maybe there's a reason for that, right, It would
10:11
Speaker 1: dramatically increase the deficits and the federal debt. Who's a
10:14
Speaker 1: deficit hawk, Massy, someone's got to be. We're digging ourselves
10:19
Speaker 1: into a massive hole that we will never be able
10:21
Speaker 1: to crawl out of. He also co sparts of the
10:25
Speaker 1: resolution too well. Limit unilateral military action, Why, well, you
10:30
Speaker 1: need congressional authorisation. Going back to my point on the
10:32
Speaker 1: rule of laws. Somebody's got to do it.
10:38
Speaker 4: Hmm.
10:39
Speaker 1: One of the few Republicans willing to consistently defend constitutional
10:43
Speaker 1: limits on government. That has been his point all along.
10:48
Speaker 1: You can't pick and choose in one big, massive, thousand
10:52
Speaker 1: plus page piece of legislation which points you really embrace,
10:55
Speaker 1: in which you don't. Would you like some of the
10:57
Speaker 1: provisions in there, Yes, the ones that don't increase the
11:00
Speaker 1: size and scope of government spending, the ones that don't
11:02
Speaker 1: increase our deficit. I'll take those all day long. But totally,
11:05
Speaker 1: the entirety of the one big, Beautiful Bill does exactly
11:07
Speaker 1: that you and I are going to get some tax credits,
11:09
Speaker 1: and that's a great thing. However, right, lower taxes means
11:12
Speaker 1: less money into government, some argue, some argue the contrary
11:16
Speaker 1: is true, and I tend to follow in that camp typically,
11:18
Speaker 1: But somebody's got to pay the bills. And at least
11:23
Speaker 1: Massey is aware of that and brings it up regularly.
11:26
Speaker 1: At least a human being is talking about what I
11:29
Speaker 1: have always called and continue to call the existential threat.
11:32
Speaker 1: No it's not China, No it's not Iran. It's our
11:35
Speaker 1: refusal to fix the system. And Lord Almighty, I mean
11:39
Speaker 1: we are exposed to this. It's not just Minnesota, folks, Ohio.
11:42
Speaker 1: And there's been a great series on the fraud in
11:45
Speaker 1: Medicare medicaid rather here in Ohio. And I'm hoping that
11:49
Speaker 1: Joe comes good on his his efforts to get Luke Rosiak,
11:54
Speaker 1: who's been doing a multi series investigation into Ohio medicaid fraud.
11:59
Speaker 1: And when you read the articles that he's written and
12:01
Speaker 1: the facts that this man has put together, it is outrageous.
12:07
Speaker 1: Dwine Administration's got some splain into do in a big way,
12:11
Speaker 1: a huge way, spending ourselves into oblivion. All but it's okay,
12:15
Speaker 1: it's the federal taxpayer dollars we hear in Ohio are
12:17
Speaker 1: on the hook for that, So screw it. Why would
12:19
Speaker 1: we bother going after fraud wastin abuse. Come on, it's
12:22
Speaker 1: just the feds dollars. Yeah, As you pay federal income
12:24
Speaker 1: taxes and your neighbors across this great land of ours
12:27
Speaker 1: pay income taxes, somebody's got to look out for fraud,
12:29
Speaker 1: wasting abuse. Apparently, not a big deal here in Ohio
12:33
Speaker 1: to go after that. Five one three, seven four nine
12:36
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred ty two to three talk
12:38
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on at and T phone stream of
12:41
Speaker 1: consciousness on that. But again I'm struggling to even get
12:44
Speaker 1: that out of my head. Five eighteen right now, Gate
12:47
Speaker 1: of Heaven and Gate of Heaven Cemetery five twenty two
12:50
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, five three seven fifty five hundred, eight
12:56
Speaker 1: hundred two three dog pound, pay fifteen your AT and
12:58
Speaker 1: T phone to give you an indicase. Thank you, Good
13:01
Speaker 1: morning to my physician who is out there. He said
13:03
Speaker 1: it sound fine. I assure you. I'm not joyce. I
13:07
Speaker 1: was reading about Mark Congress from Massei in that that poll,
13:11
Speaker 1: which really has me disturbed. My friends in north of
13:13
Speaker 1: Kentucky come on anyhow, looked up and pressed the button.
13:21
Speaker 1: See Joe Strecker in there, and I said, Joe Tomorrow's
13:23
Speaker 1: the primary, isn't it in Kentucky's Tuesday? Brian, I didn't
13:28
Speaker 1: even know what day it is, so yeah, great coming
13:32
Speaker 1: up signal ninety nine in studio. Our friend and whistleblower
13:36
Speaker 1: Shenanigan's followers, She's got her. She knows everything. There is
13:39
Speaker 1: no because she is surrounded by people feeding her information.
13:42
Speaker 1: We'll call them whistleblowers. Things going on in the since
13:45
Speaker 1: a police department, the fire department, of course, things going
13:48
Speaker 1: on in Hamilton County generally speaking. Apparently she knows ahead
13:51
Speaker 1: of time and comes with the goods like documents and
13:55
Speaker 1: information supporting the conclusions she's reached. Silence and response is
13:59
Speaker 1: kind of one of the things we have to talk
14:01
Speaker 1: with her about. This I saw Cincinnti has upped its
14:04
Speaker 1: police patrols. They haven't quite struggled or dealt with the
14:07
Speaker 1: budget problem. They're facing a twenty nine and a half
14:09
Speaker 1: million dollar budget deficit. The city is right, okay, it's
14:12
Speaker 1: time to come up with a budget almost thirty million
14:16
Speaker 1: dollars in the whole. But overtime spending's up for the
14:18
Speaker 1: police department. Yes, described as having been significantly increased because
14:23
Speaker 1: police presence in downtown is demanded and desired by the
14:26
Speaker 1: residents of the city of Cincinnati. I guess they want police.
14:29
Speaker 1: Big change of pace from the Black Lives Matter movement
14:32
Speaker 1: and the defund police movement, isn't it. Overtime spending expected
14:37
Speaker 1: to reach twenty four million dollars by the end of
14:40
Speaker 1: June compared to last year. That is double, or at
14:44
Speaker 1: least nearly after last last summer's high profile crime, of course,
14:50
Speaker 1: putting Cincinnati on the map for all the wrong reasons.
14:52
Speaker 1: Sincinnti Police Department properly increased patrols, the bike patrols, the
14:57
Speaker 1: car patrols, the foot patrols. Why how the department is
15:00
Speaker 1: still understaff? That is correct, they remain one hundred officers
15:04
Speaker 1: short of the full compliment. M City funded two to
15:08
Speaker 1: fifty member of police Recruit Recruit Classes CE and Lateral
15:14
Speaker 1: Recruit Class hire officers because well, we need officers. But
15:18
Speaker 1: apparently they haven't been able to fill the ranks, and
15:20
Speaker 1: according to the reporting the current budget project projects there
15:23
Speaker 1: will be fewer officers by June of next year than
15:26
Speaker 1: there are now in spite of the efforts to recruit
15:28
Speaker 1: more police officers. Gee, I wonder if the defund police
15:31
Speaker 1: anti police sentiment has well infiltrated the idea infiltrated the
15:35
Speaker 1: job market. I wouldn't want to be a police officer
15:38
Speaker 1: to save my soul, say so many people. I imagine anyway,
15:41
Speaker 1: how much can you rely on the current police officers
15:44
Speaker 1: to cover all of this overtime? Can I ask a
15:46
Speaker 1: question out a lot of my police officer friends out there?
15:48
Speaker 1: Are you exhausted overtime spending nearly fourteen million dollars over budget? Huh?
16:01
Speaker 1: How do you continue down this path? So one, you've
16:03
Speaker 1: got a funding problem. Sure, you can demand these officers
16:07
Speaker 1: spend every waking hour of their lives. That requires overtime payments, right,
16:14
Speaker 1: But can you force them to spend every waking hour
16:16
Speaker 1: of their lives, and I know I'm exaggerating. When they've
16:19
Speaker 1: got their own families and lives to live, how much
16:21
Speaker 1: overtime can they possibly handle? This solution or this problem
16:25
Speaker 1: is not It does not have a solution anybody can see.
16:29
Speaker 1: And it's all apparently Central Business District. I kind of
16:32
Speaker 1: scratch my head and wonder about the other neighborhoods in
16:34
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. Do you feel like you've been
16:36
Speaker 1: overlooked anyhow? I'm looking forward to signal ninety nine talking
16:42
Speaker 1: about that particular topic again. She'll be on for an
16:44
Speaker 1: hour in studio beginning at seven thirty, and let's fast
16:47
Speaker 1: forward to eight thirty. Thank God for Jay Ratliff. iHeart

Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Friday, Eve, say good.
17:32
Speaker 4: Morning, and things are all right with the world.
17:33
Speaker 1: Your back, Oh last, it does not you know, it
17:38
Speaker 1: is impossible to explain my brain. It's just this weird feeling.
17:44
Speaker 1: I find it very difficult to articulate in words how
17:47
Speaker 1: my brain feels right now. It's just a jumbled mass.
17:51
Speaker 1: I can't come up with clear line of thought. It's strange, Tom,
17:55
Speaker 1: that really really is. And it's been really worrying me,
17:57
Speaker 1: I mean troubling me a lot. So I'm I hate
18:00
Speaker 1: to be like falling all over myself with excuses this morning,
18:03
Speaker 1: but it's just it's really got me disturbed.
18:07
Speaker 5: Well, I will say this on behalf of you, my
18:11
Speaker 5: wife and others who have gone through this process. There's
18:15
Speaker 5: no way for us who have not gone through it
18:17
Speaker 5: to comprehend what you're dealing with. You can't explain it
18:21
Speaker 5: and we can't understand it.
18:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:22
Speaker 5: So, I mean, you just have the stuff that they've
18:25
Speaker 5: been pumping into your body. And by the way, I
18:27
Speaker 5: pray to God, they got it. They're getting it. You
18:30
Speaker 5: got what one more treatment left?
18:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, two days left in June. That'll be the sixth
18:34
Speaker 1: rounded treatments. And the last meeting I heard with my doctor.
18:38
Speaker 1: She was very, very very happy about my most recent
18:41
Speaker 1: CT scan. She said all the notes, with the exception
18:44
Speaker 1: of the ones of my abdin had all basically disappeared,
18:46
Speaker 1: which is great, but the ones in my abdomin had
18:49
Speaker 1: not gotten smaller, but at least they haven't gotten bigger.
18:52
Speaker 1: So I'm hanging my hat on that ladder point. But
18:54
Speaker 1: that's that's where I am. So she's at least positive.
18:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll good.
18:58
Speaker 5: Let's we'll keep house and we'll just again, we'll keep
19:01
Speaker 5: praying that that you're it's all done.
19:03
Speaker 4: They got it all.
19:04
Speaker 5: I did want to note that as I'm driving, I'm
19:07
Speaker 5: seeing the unleaded gas prices coming down there. Actually most
19:11
Speaker 5: of them around here are just below four bucks, even
19:14
Speaker 5: the VP next door. So that's good. But that diesel
19:17
Speaker 5: that diesel price is not budget. Yeah, it's not. That's
19:22
Speaker 5: and that's as we know, that effects a lot more.
19:26
Speaker 4: Than regular gas.
19:27
Speaker 5: Everything everything you buy and touch is is hauled by
19:30
Speaker 5: a truck. So uh yeah, that's text everything. So as
19:35
Speaker 5: far as the French are concerned, what's the old joke
19:37
Speaker 5: about why do they plant so many trees along the
19:41
Speaker 5: side of the road and in France to make sure
19:44
Speaker 5: the German soldiers were able to march in and shade
19:47
Speaker 5: something like that. They just they're so when it comes
19:51
Speaker 5: down to it, they're weak. So we're not going to
19:53
Speaker 5: worry about what the French think about about what we're
19:56
Speaker 5: doing with with military stuff and and our enemies if
20:00
Speaker 5: they don't care enough to defend themselves, and why why
20:02
Speaker 5: should we worry about their opinion? And then yeah, in Kentucky,
20:08
Speaker 5: I really hope people keep massy. I would like to
20:12
Speaker 5: see a united front on on our side. But you know,
20:16
Speaker 5: sometimes you got to have that voice that says, hey,
20:19
Speaker 5: stay hold on a second, people, let's not be let's
20:22
Speaker 5: not be totally crazy. Let's let's let's watch what we're doing.
20:25
Speaker 5: We're we're gonna hurt ourselves by doing this, and and
20:30
Speaker 5: I'll repeat an add that Massey put out that he
20:32
Speaker 5: and Trump agree on a whole lot more than they
20:34
Speaker 5: disagree on. Yeah, and of course no, you know, everybody
20:38
Speaker 5: always clings on the negative and and they want, oh,
20:41
Speaker 5: they don't agree on this, they don't agree on that.
20:43
Speaker 5: Of course Trump doesn't help the mass Masseew's thrown his
20:45
Speaker 5: shots in there too.
20:46
Speaker 1: But let me let me ask you this, Tom, I
20:49
Speaker 1: guess I don't want to be critical gowering. I don't
20:51
Speaker 1: know the man. I just know that he has he
20:52
Speaker 1: won't debate he You only know about him what has
20:56
Speaker 1: shown on these thirty second spots, which are have become
20:59
Speaker 1: un believably annoying. I know that he is a decorated
21:05
Speaker 1: a service person. I mean I understand that, and I
21:07
Speaker 1: salute him and respect him for his service to our country,
21:10
Speaker 1: I like every other person who served. But what else
21:13
Speaker 1: does he bring to the table other than an acknowledged upfront.
21:16
Speaker 1: I will be a yes man for Donald Trump. I
21:19
Speaker 1: mean he says it without saying those words directly, pretty
21:21
Speaker 1: much acknowledge. That's what I'm I'm going to be elected for.
21:24
Speaker 1: I will rubber stamp whatever Trump says. Is that enough?
21:28
Speaker 6: No?
21:29
Speaker 5: It shouldn't be, because when it comes down to it,
21:32
Speaker 5: we should actually be paying attention to the people that
21:34
Speaker 5: we're voting for, and they're really If you're serious about conservatism,
21:39
Speaker 5: you're serious about the Constitution and the rule of law
21:43
Speaker 5: and doing things the right way, the way it's set up,
21:45
Speaker 5: the way the laws passed have it done.
21:47
Speaker 4: If you're serious about.
21:48
Speaker 5: That, you can't find any fault Thomas Massey because that's
21:52
Speaker 5: what he goes by. He's what he goes by, like
21:54
Speaker 5: it or not, whether or not he agrees with everything Trump.
21:56
Speaker 2: So you can't go by that.
21:58
Speaker 7: You know.
21:58
Speaker 5: Again, I'd like to united Front, but we gotta we
22:01
Speaker 5: got to make sure we keep people in there that
22:03
Speaker 5: are making sense, and we definitely got to make sure
22:05
Speaker 5: we don't vote Democrat. Have a great weekend because I
22:08
Speaker 5: don't think I'm gonna call in tomorrow, but we'll see.
22:10
Speaker 5: All right, good week.
22:11
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, tom I truly truly do. Yeah, I
22:14
Speaker 1: can up call me all the time. You know, I
22:16
Speaker 1: believe I agree with you about ninety percent of the time.
22:18
Speaker 1: I agree with you most of the time. I mean,
22:20
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for a hundred percent agreement. The fact
22:23
Speaker 1: that you disagree with me? Is a good thing, isn't it?
22:25
Speaker 1: Independent thought? You agree with me most of the time?
22:29
Speaker 1: Are you gonna throw out the good for the sake
22:31
Speaker 1: of the perfect? And is the alternative going to be
22:34
Speaker 1: perfect if the person will never lift a finger to
22:37
Speaker 1: dissent from what Donald Trump says. I'm just throwing it
22:40
Speaker 1: out there as a thought exercise. Tuesday is fast approaching
22:44
Speaker 1: five point thirty seven right now fifty five KARROSD talk station,
22:47
Speaker 1: shareff facts see the talk station by forty two if

22:59
Speaker 1: congress war and Davidson spot on the program coming up

Speaker 1: at seven oh five. Signal ninety nine a full hour
23:03
Speaker 1: in studio beginning at seven thirty and Jay Ratliffe, Good
23:06
Speaker 1: morning Jay, with aviation topics at eight thirty before I
23:08
Speaker 1: jump over the stack is stupid? Let us see what
23:10
Speaker 1: Jeff has this morning. Jeff, thanks so much for calling
23:12
Speaker 1: this morning, and a happy Friday Eve to you. Sir.
23:16
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Bryan, welcome back, Thank you very much.
23:22
Speaker 8: Sensor sting. What's going on down there in the Commonwealth?
23:26
Speaker 8: One of four commonwealths. Yeah, still not sure why to
23:34
Speaker 8: why any of those four states refuse to acknowledge they
23:37
Speaker 8: are a state.
23:39
Speaker 1: Well, putting it aside the history of our nation and
23:41
Speaker 1: the reason someone might be a commonwealth or a state
23:43
Speaker 1: might be a commonwealth rather than just a state, what
23:46
Speaker 1: are your observations relating to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
23:53
Speaker 8: Well, the elections.
23:56
Speaker 1: Coming up, Yeah, I know, cut to the chase. Yeah,
24:00
Speaker 1: it's the point man, Go.
24:03
Speaker 8: Ahead, gallon. I'm not a fan of Massy.
24:08
Speaker 1: Okay, why, well, don't laugh. Tell me why you have
24:14
Speaker 1: toive articulate an opinion. You're in favor of Gowriding, not Massy.
24:17
Speaker 1: I'm just asking why.
24:20
Speaker 8: Uh, the list goes on with Massy and number one
24:25
Speaker 8: Number one the border. This vote against finishing the border.
24:30
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess to me to observe on that, and
24:32
Speaker 1: again I'll go back to the fact that Massy rejected
24:35
Speaker 1: much of the legislation, which had provisions in it that
24:38
Speaker 1: he might otherwise have voted as a standalone measure. Isn't
24:41
Speaker 1: an amazing thing. The election of Donald Trump, without the
24:44
Speaker 1: addition of any additional border wall, resulted in the complete
24:47
Speaker 1: shutdown of illegal immigrants flowing across our southern border. In
24:51
Speaker 1: the absence of any border wall, we were able to
24:53
Speaker 1: do that. It's amazing how that happened, isn't it. I
24:56
Speaker 1: think that suggests maybe we don't need border wall. We
24:58
Speaker 1: just need someone with a backbone N four. What's the
25:00
Speaker 1: border security?
25:02
Speaker 3: Yees sir?
25:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, amen.
25:05
Speaker 1: So it's a good thing, isn't it. It's amazing what
25:07
Speaker 1: elections do. They have consequences. So I wouldn't hold that
25:10
Speaker 1: against Massey. Again, you have to look at the broader
25:12
Speaker 1: reality of what was being voted on, and that was
25:15
Speaker 1: to increase the hole that we've dug ourselves in by
25:17
Speaker 1: an additional several trillion dollars. And he will not abide.
25:21
Speaker 1: And I appreciate Massy's concern over our fiscal issues here
25:25
Speaker 1: in the United States. Someone's got to do it. He's
25:28
Speaker 1: the thorn in the side of Republicans and Democrats along
25:31
Speaker 1: those lines because he's constantly reminding them that they have
25:34
Speaker 1: failed in their obligations to the American people to keep
25:37
Speaker 1: an eye on spending and aren't we ash in fraud, waste,
25:41
Speaker 1: and abuse? Just as an illus illustration of our failure,
25:44
Speaker 1: of the failures of well Republicans and Democrats. I'll go
25:47
Speaker 1: back to medicaid fraud in Ohio under a solid red
25:52
Speaker 1: Republican administration. Yeah, both sides are guilty of that. There's
25:57
Speaker 1: Massy pointing it out preciated.
26:00
Speaker 7: Though, Yeah, the definition of it. But I believe he
26:03
Speaker 7: is the Manchurian candidate. He's a puppet. How he got
26:09
Speaker 7: into the White House for that photo op, that famous
26:11
Speaker 7: photo op he has, god knows. But well, here's the thing.
26:15
Speaker 7: He actually has appeared on a Bill Cunningham show I had.
26:18
Speaker 7: I listened to it on the way to Kroger one afternoon,
26:21
Speaker 7: and I will tell you he's he's a really angry
26:25
Speaker 7: I mean, he's a very angry man.
26:26
Speaker 1: He comes across that way, and he's.
26:28
Speaker 7: Fond of two phrases. In this interview, Joe might be
26:31
Speaker 7: able to dig through LW's you know, you know loodcast. Yeah,
26:38
Speaker 7: but he's fond of two phrases. One is full stop.
26:42
Speaker 7: He says that a lot full stop. And the other
26:46
Speaker 7: one is that Thomas Massey is one of the coastal elites,
26:50
Speaker 7: which I was like, okay, so I had I had
26:54
Speaker 7: to think this through. Okay, So you mean like the
26:57
Speaker 7: coast of the Ohio River in Lewis County, Kentucky, where
27:00
Speaker 7: Tom Massey lives. All Right, I'm.
27:08
Speaker 1: Sorry, man, I'm struggling with that. How does one come
27:10
Speaker 1: up with that conclusion? The guy just off the grid
27:13
Speaker 1: on a farm, he raises his own He's the farthest
27:17
Speaker 1: thing from a coastal elite that you could come up with.
27:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was like, I heard that, you know, and
27:23
Speaker 7: and he didn't know no proposals, no, uh like listening
27:27
Speaker 7: to Andy Barber, he's got he's been a congress he
27:29
Speaker 7: knows what he wants to say, blah blah blah as
27:31
Speaker 7: a senator, so on and so on, which I admired
27:35
Speaker 7: you interview with him, by the way, that was great.
27:37
Speaker 1: He thank you.
27:38
Speaker 4: He was my he's my vote.
27:39
Speaker 7: But but ed Galryan, folks, stay as far the hell
27:43
Speaker 7: away from this guy.
27:44
Speaker 3: As you can't.
27:46
Speaker 1: Sadly, at least according to that one pole, the most
27:47
Speaker 1: recent one, it's not looking that way right now, which
27:50
Speaker 1: is one of the reasons I brought it up this morning,
27:52
Speaker 1: hoping my friends in the Colmwealth Kentucky would stand up
27:54
Speaker 1: and get over and vote on Tuesday or before. I
27:58
Speaker 1: think we'd be losing a valuable valuable constitutionalist if Ed
28:02
Speaker 1: Gowering prevails over Congress. From Massy on record, I am,
28:05
Speaker 1: and that's just the way it has to be, Larry,
28:07
Speaker 1: thank you for calling this morning.
28:08
Speaker 9: Happy Friday Eve, Happy Friday Eve. You've been in my prayers.
28:14
Speaker 9: I'm glad to hear you back on the radio. I
28:16
Speaker 9: miss you when you're gone.
28:17
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
28:20
Speaker 9: I just wanted to call and, uh talk about that
28:24
Speaker 9: previous caller from the Great Commonwealth. I find it amazing
28:28
Speaker 9: that people have their opinions but they can't articulate and
28:33
Speaker 9: express in words and give good reason as to why.
28:37
Speaker 9: Which that's all right. Apparently that caller does not listen
28:43
Speaker 9: to your radio station, because Thomas Massey has been on
28:46
Speaker 9: several times in the last few months. And if I'm
28:49
Speaker 9: not mistaken, I think he was on with Dan Carroll
28:52
Speaker 9: while you were off.
28:53
Speaker 1: That was that jumping from that.
28:55
Speaker 9: But uh so I listened to Thomas Massey and I
29:00
Speaker 9: don't live in the Commonwealth, but I support him, and
29:04
Speaker 9: I'm wanting to encourage all the listeners that live there
29:08
Speaker 9: to support Thomas Massey. I voted for Donald Trump three times, Okay,
29:15
Speaker 9: I don't agree with everything that he says, and like
29:18
Speaker 9: I love that. I love that little quote play that
29:22
Speaker 9: Joe does. Keep your stupid mouth shut. Donald Trump needs
29:29
Speaker 9: to keep his stupid mouth shut. Sometimes I don't agree
29:31
Speaker 9: with everything that he does and that he says. I
29:35
Speaker 9: think that he's there for good reasons. I think God
29:39
Speaker 9: placed him there and uh to stop this landslide of
29:43
Speaker 9: the United States of the destruction that the Democrats have
29:47
Speaker 9: put us down. But we I do agree with Thomas.
29:50
Speaker 2: Massey and and Paul Ryan or.
29:55
Speaker 9: Yeah, Ran Paul, I agree with them. We we gotta
29:58
Speaker 9: have fiscal response. It's ability when it comes to spending.
30:02
Speaker 9: We cannot continue to allow the government to just spend
30:05
Speaker 9: us to oblivion. It just it has to stop, and
30:08
Speaker 9: there has to be accountability, and it needs accountability on
30:12
Speaker 9: both sides. And the Republicans are just as bad.
30:14
Speaker 1: Yes they are. I share your conclusion on that one, Larry,
30:18
Speaker 1: and the other thing.
30:19
Speaker 9: So those in northern Kentucky don't vote Democrat.
30:27
Speaker 1: Suggesting what about Ed Gallery and there, Larry, Okay, but
30:31
Speaker 1: remember as we part company and go into the break
30:33
Speaker 1: here real quick the money. Yeah, earlier call referred to
30:37
Speaker 1: him potentially as the Manchurian candidate. Now you can decide
30:41
Speaker 1: one way or another way that you agree with that conclusion.
30:43
Speaker 1: But where did all of that money come from? Thomas
30:50
Speaker 1: Massey has never had to fend off a challenger like this.
30:52
Speaker 1: Millions and millions of dollars behind Ed goweran and this,
30:57
Speaker 1: I don't know moneyed influence out there. Where is the
31:00
Speaker 1: money coming from? And what is it that they are
31:03
Speaker 1: all about. It's a good question. Ponder it and feel
31:06
Speaker 1: free to give me a call. Five point fifty six
31:08
Speaker 1: right now, fifty five kr CD Talk Station. Be right
31:10
Speaker 1: back at the top of the hour. Here the top
31:13
Speaker 1: stories of the day. It's six so Secretary fifty five
31:18
Speaker 1: KRCD Talk Station. Very happy Friday, Eve to you, Brian
31:21
Speaker 1: Thomas back barely. I will acknowledge, and I apologize for
31:24
Speaker 1: having to apologize to my listening audience. Anybody who's been
31:27
Speaker 1: through KEEMA knows perhaps what my brain is dealing with.
31:31
Speaker 1: And I can't think in a linear direction. I'm jumping
31:34
Speaker 1: all over the place. My brain's a bit scattered, any
31:36
Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many topics to talk about
31:38
Speaker 1: this money. Wasn't even sure which direction to go, but
31:40
Speaker 1: I was focused on this most recent poll regarding the
31:42
Speaker 1: massive gallerin race which has Gallerying ahead and by a
31:45
Speaker 1: decent amount too. You know, say what you want about
31:49
Speaker 1: the Quantas Insights poll. They got gallery And ahead fifty
31:52
Speaker 1: three forty five among likely Republican primary voters. And obviously
31:58
Speaker 1: this comes down to turnout. Early voting suggests that Gowering
32:02
Speaker 1: is in the lead. And you know, I say what
32:04
Speaker 1: you want about Ed Gowran, Congress from Massey. Oddly enough,
32:06
Speaker 1: going back to the money, I just mentioned the tail
32:08
Speaker 1: end of the last hours conversation. We have several callers
32:10
Speaker 1: online and I promise I will get to each of
32:12
Speaker 1: you just a second.
32:13
Speaker 6: Here.
32:14
Speaker 1: This is the most expensive race for the US House
32:20
Speaker 1: in history, twenty five points six million dollars in ad
32:25
Speaker 1: spending so far, the most expensive ever. It broke the
32:30
Speaker 1: record from twenty twenty four Jamal Bowman in New York,
32:35
Speaker 1: one of Congress's most vocal Israel critics. That race saw
32:38
Speaker 1: twenty five point two million dollars in overall spending. So
32:40
Speaker 1: congratulations Ed and Tom or Thomas. You've got the record here.
32:45
Speaker 1: And of course, the thing that's really irked me and
32:47
Speaker 1: I mentioned this real briefly in the opening comments. As
32:50
Speaker 1: stumbled as they were earlier, these ai generated pack ads
32:55
Speaker 1: and are you duped by that? I mean, do you
32:58
Speaker 1: really truly believe that Thomas Massey was dining and holding
33:03
Speaker 1: hands with Representative Alexandrio Casio Cortez and ileon Omar. I mean,
33:08
Speaker 1: I'd like to think you saw through that much in
33:10
Speaker 1: the same way. No, there was not a video camera
33:12
Speaker 1: in the trench where Ed Goyrid is depicted is running
33:14
Speaker 1: away from the battlefield while Donald Trump fires off rounds
33:18
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, it's ai and going back to
33:21
Speaker 1: the furtive points. You know, yes, Thomas Messi may have
33:23
Speaker 1: voted against funding a wall, but what part of the
33:27
Speaker 1: bill was it that he rejected? In rejecting that one
33:29
Speaker 1: loan provision? Something I keep going back to, why does
33:32
Speaker 1: Congress from Messi vote know on things like that, Well,
33:35
Speaker 1: peel back one provision and you may have his support
33:37
Speaker 1: for it, but when it comes down to spending additional
33:39
Speaker 1: multiple trillions of dollars, somebody's got to be a deficit hawk.
33:44
Speaker 1: We've only got one left at least in the House,
33:47
Speaker 1: and I guess Congressrom Warren Davidson in a certain extent,
33:49
Speaker 1: he's coming up in one hour. He's he's concerned about
33:51
Speaker 1: the deficit. He's articulated concerns along those lines. But if
33:54
Speaker 1: you had to put a stalwart someone who is constantly
33:57
Speaker 1: expressing concerns about it and rejecting outrageous government spending, it's
34:02
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey. The voters in northern Kentucky have voted for
34:06
Speaker 1: him time and time again, and I think because of
34:09
Speaker 1: that his strong libertarian pro constitution, you can always count
34:15
Speaker 1: on Massey. I've said that how many times? If I
34:17
Speaker 1: said that, if you present a piece of legislation upfront,
34:20
Speaker 1: and you take a look at it, and you look
34:22
Speaker 1: at the cost of it or whatever else is in it,
34:23
Speaker 1: you know damn well upfront, how Massy's going to vote
34:26
Speaker 1: on it. Period. You already know why, because he's consistent.
34:31
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones to see what folks, Scott,
34:33
Speaker 1: Who's first, Joe, That will be Brad, Brad and everybody else.
34:35
Speaker 1: Hold on a second. Thanks for calling this morning, Brad,
34:37
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program.
34:39
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning.
34:41
Speaker 10: Yeah.
34:41
Speaker 11: The reason why I was calling is I don't live
34:44
Speaker 11: in the common Wealth of Kentucky, but as a kid
34:46
Speaker 11: casual observer of just the radio traffic and the commercials,
34:51
Speaker 11: it's like I've heard Massey's name over and over and
34:54
Speaker 11: over again through the years, and I've always thought he
34:56
Speaker 11: was a great guy based on you know what I
34:59
Speaker 11: kind of and casually heard. But these commercials that Gal
35:03
Speaker 11: Ryan is running are super effective. Oh yeah, they're just
35:07
Speaker 11: lying and saying just just complete.
35:11
Speaker 1: But you say, the problem, they're super effective. How can
35:16
Speaker 1: it possibly be so when the ads are obviously so
35:21
Speaker 1: unbelievably biased that many suggest they are filled with lies
35:24
Speaker 1: but certainly fabrications. The only reason they're effective is because
35:29
Speaker 1: people don't pay attention to all of the other articles
35:31
Speaker 1: and stories about why Congressman Vassi voted the way he
35:34
Speaker 1: did year after year after year. I mean, I've been
35:36
Speaker 1: following the guy's political career for as well since he's
35:38
Speaker 1: been in office. I know why he votes the way
35:41
Speaker 1: he does. Those ads can't fool me.
35:44
Speaker 11: Well, the problem is that the average voter, they're looking
35:48
Speaker 11: for the person that doesn't pay attention, and they're just
35:51
Speaker 11: trying to They cast a wide net and they try
35:54
Speaker 11: to scoop in as many gullible idiots as possible, and unfortunately,
35:58
Speaker 11: the American electorate is fort gullible idiots, and they just
36:02
Speaker 11: don't really pay him that much attention. And then you
36:04
Speaker 11: hear something at all, well Trump hates him or Trump
36:06
Speaker 11: wants him out of there, and the oh, well, I'm
36:09
Speaker 11: a Trump supporter, so maybe that's what I should be doing.
36:11
Speaker 11: But then you're like, but you don't know. And the
36:13
Speaker 11: problem is there's no legality to just flat out lying,
36:18
Speaker 11: you know, in a commercial. There's no law against that.
36:21
Speaker 1: No, it's protected, speed, just do it. It's protected's feet
36:26
Speaker 1: can argue, Yeah, thank you sum it up, Brad. Yes,
36:29
Speaker 1: that's why twenty six plus million dollars can sway an election,
36:33
Speaker 1: even though the twenty six million dollars is filled with
36:35
Speaker 1: a bunch of fabrications because people don't pay attention. It's
36:39
Speaker 1: a sad story, exactly, sad story. Well, that's why money
36:43
Speaker 1: in politics really truly matters. Sat empathetic as that is,
36:46
Speaker 1: if we all paid attention every single day and did
36:48
Speaker 1: at least fifteen twenty minutes worth of homework and looked
36:50
Speaker 1: at you know, local reporting and national reporting and ignored
36:53
Speaker 1: the ads, you wouldn't be swayed by the money being
36:56
Speaker 1: thrown at it. Nobody would. Who's next shoe will be, Fred? Fred,
37:00
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning, Jay, hang on your next brother, Fred, Welcome.
37:05
Speaker 5: Hey, Brian, praying for your help.
37:07
Speaker 1: Thank you.
37:08
Speaker 4: But I look at this, if you look at.
37:11
Speaker 3: The Democrat Party right now, the establishment of the party,
37:15
Speaker 3: the Pelosi's and the Schumers and all those guys, they
37:20
Speaker 3: they let these crazy people in power because they needed
37:24
Speaker 3: their votes to keep control. And now they don't know
37:28
Speaker 3: how to get rid of them. And that's their problem.
37:31
Speaker 3: But the Republicans think they had the establishment, think they've
37:35
Speaker 3: always had a problem because as you remember back in
37:38
Speaker 3: the Tea Party days, you know, Mitch McConnell, when when
37:42
Speaker 3: a primary was won by a Tea Party candidate, they
37:46
Speaker 3: didn't want to fund them because they thought they were crazy, right,
37:49
Speaker 3: They did not want the Tea Party people and who
37:52
Speaker 3: were literally the smart people that were dragging the party.
37:55
Speaker 10: To what they wanted it to be.
37:57
Speaker 1: Yes, McConnell said, they were crazy score responsibility, limited government
38:02
Speaker 1: and free markets. What's crazy about that?
38:05
Speaker 3: And and and the thing that blows me away? And
38:08
Speaker 3: you were in on this because you you had all
38:10
Speaker 3: the Tea Party guys on all your time. But if
38:13
Speaker 3: you look, if you look at it, Ran, Paul Massey,
38:16
Speaker 3: even even Warren Davidson, my congressman, he's they got rid
38:19
Speaker 3: of Bayner Bayner was an insider. Yeah, literally he left
38:23
Speaker 3: because he wasn't going to win. But uh, the thing
38:26
Speaker 3: is that blows me away is the Rhino part of
38:30
Speaker 3: the party. Since Trump's you know, we only got two
38:33
Speaker 3: years left. I think they they're trying to make a comeback.
38:37
Speaker 3: And and one of the things they're trying to do
38:40
Speaker 3: is get rid of Massy.
38:41
Speaker 2: I can't see that Trump.
38:43
Speaker 3: Is I mean, I know he doesn't like Massey at all,
38:47
Speaker 3: but I think this is like Mitch McConnell money.
38:50
Speaker 2: All this that they've been.
38:51
Speaker 3: They've hated Thomas Massey since the very beginning, and and
38:57
Speaker 3: you know, I know Trump doesn't like him for whatever reason.
39:01
Speaker 3: But these these rhinos, the John Soons, the the Lindsay Grahams,
39:07
Speaker 3: all these people, they want their establishment back, and we're
39:11
Speaker 3: the ones that literally won them elections and they got it.
39:14
Speaker 3: They're balancing on a tight wire to try to keep
39:17
Speaker 3: our votes but still still remain in power. And we've
39:21
Speaker 3: gotten rid of a bunch of those people over time.
39:24
Speaker 3: And I think that this is the last vestiges of
39:27
Speaker 3: them trying to I mean, they hate ram Paul too.
39:30
Speaker 3: They hate Ram Paul, you know, and and and for me,
39:33
Speaker 3: do I agree with those guys all the time, though,
39:35
Speaker 3: but I love the direction they're dragging. And and Donald Trump,
39:39
Speaker 3: the only reason he's in is because of the Tea Party.
39:42
Speaker 3: Everybody says, well, where's the Tea Party? Well, it educated
39:46
Speaker 3: people to understand who to vote for.
39:48
Speaker 2: That's what I always thought.
39:49
Speaker 3: The Tea Party was educating people the difference between socialism,
39:54
Speaker 3: big government socialism and free market capitalism and and and
40:00
Speaker 3: that's that's how.
40:01
Speaker 2: I look at it.
40:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're in a chaotic middle between you know,
40:07
Speaker 3: we're moving one direction a little bit of the other direction.
40:09
Speaker 3: But their side is the crazy going in that direction,
40:13
Speaker 3: and they're trying to make sure they don't get dragged
40:16
Speaker 3: in that direction. But I want to be dragged in
40:19
Speaker 3: the Tom Moore and the Thomas Massey ran Paul Warren
40:22
Speaker 3: Davidson direction, to be quite honest with you, because that's
40:25
Speaker 3: that's the more sane way to go.
40:27
Speaker 1: It is the more sane way, and it's certainly if
40:29
Speaker 1: it boils down to it. What is the first tenant
40:30
Speaker 1: of the Tea Party was fiscal responsibility. Yes, at least
40:34
Speaker 1: there's that, and you can certainly hang your hat on
40:36
Speaker 1: Fiscal responsibility makes sense to everybody who's willing to put
40:39
Speaker 1: a pull a calculator out and realize the money coming
40:41
Speaker 1: in doesn't cover the money going out as we are
40:44
Speaker 1: awash in fraud, waste and abuse and reckless government spending
40:47
Speaker 1: with zero oversight. Perhaps because it benefits hmmm, both sides
40:52
Speaker 1: of the political ledger, could it be? Maybe? Thanks for
40:55
Speaker 1: the call, Jay, your next brother. You're going to have
40:57
Speaker 1: to hang on and I can't wait to hear what
40:58
Speaker 1: you have to say. Folks, feel free to give me
40:59
Speaker 1: a all station. It is six twenty one here fifty
41:04
Speaker 1: five krcy De Talk station by Thomas here barely. I
41:08

41:19
Speaker 12: Thanks for giving me the microphone here, and I'm heading
41:22
Speaker 12: planned on calling end today, but you know, I'm I'm
41:25
Speaker 12: more concerned about your health and that sort of thing
41:28
Speaker 12: than the stupid election stuff.
41:30
Speaker 1: So thank you.
41:31
Speaker 12: We're all out here hoping you pull through because you're
41:33
Speaker 12: babbling life and death.
41:34
Speaker 10: Man, Well, I is crazy shit.
41:37
Speaker 1: I don't want you hold on, you got to hit
41:39
Speaker 1: the button there, Joe, here's my English? Did you get it?
41:41
Speaker 12: Excu's my English?
41:42
Speaker 1: Okay? Well, okay, with that in mind, people are wondering
41:45
Speaker 1: why the absence of content leading up to these words,
41:48
Speaker 1: we had to hit the dump button? Rules are no
41:51
Speaker 1: sec violations by callers. I can't curse.
41:54
Speaker 10: I should have said. I should have said pineapple.
41:57
Speaker 1: There you go and signal ninety, and I will be honest.
42:01
Speaker 10: I'm looking forward to it.
42:02
Speaker 12: Yeah again, I called in last Thursday, and I'm you know,
42:06
Speaker 12: everybody's sick of this. And I'm not going to call
42:08
Speaker 12: in anymore after about the election after today. But look,
42:13
Speaker 12: you got these guys calling from Ohio. I'm in Kentucky.
42:17
Speaker 10: I voted time and time again.
42:19
Speaker 12: For Thomas Massey. I'm not a gullible idiot.
42:21
Speaker 10: Okay.
42:22
Speaker 12: I don't pay any attention to the commercials. Okay, but
42:26
Speaker 12: you know the thing that did for me was, look,
42:28
Speaker 12: he voted against Donald trumps signature piece of legislation, and
42:32
Speaker 12: he just got the guy just got into office, and
42:34
Speaker 12: he's trying to battle the left and turn his country around.
42:38
Speaker 12: And you know, Mascy, if you want to vote against it, okay,
42:42
Speaker 12: My my thing is, run is an independent, run as
42:47
Speaker 12: a libertarian, don't run as a republic.
42:50
Speaker 1: Why what is he? I'm just I'm serious about this, Jake,
42:54
Speaker 1: What in the hell does it mean to be a
42:55
Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat? These days? You've got commies. You've got
42:58
Speaker 1: commies all the way to JFK's on the Democrat side,
43:03
Speaker 1: and you've got rhino Republicans all the way over to
43:05
Speaker 1: evangelical conservative Christian types on the Republican side. You have
43:08
Speaker 1: deficit hawks, you have people who don't care about the deficit.
43:11
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a mixed bag of chaos. There are
43:14
Speaker 1: libertarian minds I don't know. Well, I'm a Republican. I am,
43:18
Speaker 1: I'm registered Republican, but I don't believe in the Republicans
43:21
Speaker 1: collective mindset of late. I'm a little at libertarian. I'm
43:25
Speaker 1: like Congressman Massey, but I still fall on the side
43:27
Speaker 1: of the Republican camp. Why because well, third party candidates
43:30
Speaker 1: can't get anybody to vote for him. If you're going
43:32
Speaker 1: to stand a chance to change the tide. What was
43:35
Speaker 1: the Tea Party movement about? It was about getting the
43:38
Speaker 1: damn Republicans back in line with core fiscal responsibility, limited government,
43:42
Speaker 1: free market principle, something that used to be at least
43:45
Speaker 1: at the center of the party platform. They went adrift
43:48
Speaker 1: off to the sea of you know, giant government like
43:50
Speaker 1: the Democrats did. That's why republican, That's why Massey is
43:53
Speaker 1: a Republican. He's trying to remind them of what they
43:56
Speaker 1: used to be tried and true, wed to his philosophy.
43:59
Speaker 1: So yeah, that argument, this falls short from me a person.
44:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I understand where it comes from, Jay,
44:05
Speaker 1: But yeah, we live in a world filled with just
44:08
Speaker 1: this radical sea of differences within the parties that were
44:13
Speaker 1: left to vote for two party system isn't anymore right, yep, yep.
44:19
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll let you go.
44:21
Speaker 12: I will want to say one other thing. Anybody who's
44:23
Speaker 12: a regular listener to your show and knows where Jack
44:27
Speaker 12: Catherton comes down on this, And oh again he was
44:30
Speaker 12: he was talking yesterday and I forget what he was
44:33
Speaker 12: talking about about the Iran in the Neverland, but he
44:36
Speaker 12: had to stick in his line that he would never
44:38
Speaker 12: ever agree with Thomas Massey on anything.
44:40
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know what opinions are like, Jay,
44:43
Speaker 1: we are all entitled to them, including you and including
44:46
Speaker 1: me on the fifty five Caro Sig Morning Show. That's
44:48
Speaker 1: why the phone lines are open for people to time in, Jay,
44:51
Speaker 1: and thank you for doing so. I'm not in desperation,
44:54
Speaker 1: but I'm close to it with my brain this morning,
44:56
Speaker 1: so I appreciate the thoughts and comments. It's a great
44:58
Speaker 1: exchange of thoughts and id is this allows us to
45:01
Speaker 1: maybe make better choices and think very long and hard
45:04
Speaker 1: before we run in and vote, perhaps with insufficient information,
45:08
Speaker 1: so much so that this insane spending, at least in
45:11
Speaker 1: one race, illustrated by the gall rain messy race, can
45:15
Speaker 1: influence the hearts and minds of people who are not
45:17
Speaker 1: really truly informed. So please please try to stay informed.
45:21
Speaker 1: It's all I can hope for, and I'll look forward
45:23
Speaker 1: to more calls coming up. Got local stories as well.
45:25
Speaker 1: Six twenty five Right now, fifty five car see the
45:28
Speaker 1: talk station Foreign Exchange where I take my cars. We
45:31
Speaker 1: all six thirty fifty five car CD talk station and
45:34
Speaker 1: try to make it a happy Friday, even if you
45:36
Speaker 1: can stick around. Right if the top of the airne is,
45:37
Speaker 1: Congressman Warren David said, and we're gonna hear from Signal
45:41
Speaker 1: ninety nine are insider with all the info about Shenanigan's
45:43
Speaker 1: going on in downtown sin Sinna, Hamilton County, generally speaking
45:46
Speaker 1: in studio at seven thirty for an hour, then Jay
45:48
Speaker 1: Ratliffe at eight thirty that further DOO before we get
45:50
Speaker 1: to local stories. Phone calls. Very welcome this morning, Tom,
45:53
Speaker 1: thanks for calling.
45:54
Speaker 6: Welcome to the show, Born and Brian so on this
45:59
Speaker 6: Thomas Mashy problem we have here not voting for Trump.
46:05
Speaker 6: Most of the country, seventy five percent of the country
46:08
Speaker 6: voted for Trump to be in office to straighten out
46:10
Speaker 6: these problems we have. And if he's not on board,
46:14
Speaker 6: he's not helping the cause. Because right now everything boils
46:17
Speaker 6: down to money and these tariffs are working, and same
46:22
Speaker 6: with the war. And I ran because India just announced
46:24
Speaker 6: their prime minister Moji said stop foreign travel if you
46:28
Speaker 6: don't need it, stop buying gold, use less oil over there.
46:33
Speaker 6: And then we got JD.
46:34
Speaker 2: Vans and doctor Oz.
46:35
Speaker 6: They're going after the massive fraud and that will free
46:39
Speaker 6: up a lot more money to help balance the budget.
46:42
Speaker 2: But Swami, he's going after.
46:46
Speaker 6: Foreigners in this country that are overstaying their visas, which
46:49
Speaker 6: is a cost in the state of Ohio. Tons of
46:51
Speaker 6: money and all this home health aids.
46:55
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's hospices. Tom. That is amazing what been
47:00
Speaker 1: revealed about these home health programs here in the state
47:02
Speaker 1: of Ohio. And Mike the Win's fingers are all over
47:04
Speaker 1: that it. It seems that one's got me really troubled
47:07
Speaker 1: right there. But yeah, but I know, I guess in terms,
47:09
Speaker 1: in terms, if we could eliminate all the fraud wasted abuse, Tom,
47:12
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what the dollar figure is that
47:14
Speaker 1: it would add up to, but remember, a trillion is
47:18
Speaker 1: a thousand billion. Now, if there is hundreds of billions
47:22
Speaker 1: of dollars in fraud wasted abuse, you can evasually soak
47:25
Speaker 1: it all up and make it go away or recover it.
47:27
Speaker 1: You're still short one hundred or thousands and thousands of
47:32
Speaker 1: billions of dollars, in other words, trillions of dollars that
47:34
Speaker 1: we overspend. And that's kind of Massy's point. You know,
47:37
Speaker 1: we could want to do what Trump wants to do
47:38
Speaker 1: all day long, but if we can't afford to pay
47:40
Speaker 1: for it, and that debt is going to ruin our
47:42
Speaker 1: country's economy and maybe even the Fiat currency, that's a
47:45
Speaker 1: bit more of a challenge than dealing with these you know,
47:47
Speaker 1: these issues that pop up during any given administration. I
47:50
Speaker 1: mean there in lies that the rub.
47:55
Speaker 5: Well, we gotta hold on to the country.
47:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how do you hold onto the country if
47:59
Speaker 1: you can't afford to pay for what we've bid off?
48:02
Speaker 5: Well, if the Democrats get in, we're going to lose
48:04
Speaker 5: the country.
48:08
Speaker 6: We need to, you know, keep voting the.
48:10
Speaker 7: Way we're going with Trump.
48:12
Speaker 1: Vote got a vote for Massy is not a vote
48:15
Speaker 1: for a Democrat. Well, seriously, I mean the reality that is,
48:21
Speaker 1: are you going to stay okay if MASSI gets the primary?
48:24
Speaker 1: Are you going to stay at home? Or are you
48:25
Speaker 1: going to go vote for the Democrat challenger?
48:27
Speaker 6: Are you going to vote for mass The Democrats saw
48:30
Speaker 6: a walk in lockstep, and we can't have any We're
48:35
Speaker 6: barely holding on here by one or two votes each time.
48:38
Speaker 5: It's not making us feel that great.
48:41
Speaker 1: I understand the dysfunction in Congress. I recognize that. But
48:44
Speaker 1: part of the dysfunction is well, Republicans refuse to keep
48:47
Speaker 1: their eye on the tab. Listen. I can support Massy
48:51
Speaker 1: all day long, one because I believe in the Constitution
48:54
Speaker 1: and what is written there, and so does he he
48:56
Speaker 1: took an oath to uphold it, and I don't know
48:57
Speaker 1: how people who swore an oath to the Constitution can
49:00
Speaker 1: stand there and stay with a straight face. They uphold
49:01
Speaker 1: the Constitution when many things they do fly right in
49:04
Speaker 1: the face of it. So you know, he stands on
49:07
Speaker 1: principle and conviction. And if you want someone who honors
49:10
Speaker 1: their oath of office, there you have it. It isn't
49:13
Speaker 1: always pretty, it isn't always easy, but welcome to politics.
49:17
Speaker 1: He's the thorn in everyone's side because he's the one
49:20
Speaker 1: that forces a conversation. And this is something that Christopher
49:22
Speaker 1: Smith and I have talked about many times in downtown Cincinnati. Sure,
49:25
Speaker 1: you're not going to ever get a Republican council anymore,
49:28
Speaker 1: but wouldn't it be nice to have a dissenting voice
49:30
Speaker 1: who could raise their hand and say whoa whoa, whoa
49:32
Speaker 1: whoa whoa Like For example, local story here, we're twenty
49:35
Speaker 1: nine and a half million dollar budget shortfall, staring us
49:39
Speaker 1: in the face, got unlimited needs in the city of Cincinnati,
49:42
Speaker 1: and yet they're going to give eight million dollars to
49:43
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's music project that wasn't even counted
49:47
Speaker 1: on when they funded it to the start. Somebody's got
49:49
Speaker 1: to stand up and say, wait a second, what is
49:51
Speaker 1: with this? There has to be a dissenting voice to
49:55
Speaker 1: stand up and force other people to address the points
49:58
Speaker 1: made by that person. In this particular case, it's been
50:00
Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massey reliably so for a long time. No
50:04
Speaker 1: one wants to hear it. No one wants to hear it.
50:06
Speaker 1: Everyone went, oh, no, we just needed to be expeding.
50:08
Speaker 1: We just need to move things forward, just play ball
50:10
Speaker 1: together nicely, But what about these issues? No one wants
50:16
Speaker 1: to hear it. I'm glad we've got him, at least
50:18
Speaker 1: for the time being. I really truly am six thirty
50:21
Speaker 1: five fifty five krc the talk station five one, three
50:23
Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty feet talk station six thirty nine
50:28
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk Station, Very Happy Friday. Congressman Warren
50:31
Speaker 1: Davidson at the top of the our news. Anything to
50:33
Speaker 1: talk with him about, we'll hear from Signal ninety nine
50:36
Speaker 1: in studio and all the shenanigans going on in downtown
50:38
Speaker 1: since any since we last spoke, And yes it continues.
50:40
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, I heard aviation expert joining us at eight thirty.
50:44
Speaker 1: Over to the phones we go. Jay's on the line, Jay,
50:46
Speaker 1: but hoping to hear from you. Have you seen the
50:50
Speaker 1: Daily Wires reporting on the medicaid fraud here in the
50:53
Speaker 1: state of Ohio.
50:56
Speaker 13: Not only have I seen it, Brian, but I have
50:58
Speaker 13: sent Luke Jsiac all of the information that I've been compiling,
51:03
Speaker 13: that I sent to a dozen Ohio politicians and all
51:08
Speaker 13: with the links and the sources. And then it's a
51:13
Speaker 13: great day. And I think you and Joe at to
51:17
Speaker 13: take a bow because all of these, all of this
51:20
Speaker 13: that I never learned about, never heard about, I learned.
51:22
Speaker 4: From you guys six years ago.
51:25
Speaker 13: And whenever the Americans for Prospect Americans for Prosperity talked about,
51:29
Speaker 13: they had a lawsuit and produced the facts, the data
51:34
Speaker 13: from the federal government CMS. The doctor Oz now runs
51:37
Speaker 13: that said Ohio was last place at forty three point
51:39
Speaker 13: three percent fraud on a forty billion dollar annual spend.
51:44
Speaker 13: And I know that I have run that into the
51:46
Speaker 13: dirt on the program. And the reason of the hope
51:51
Speaker 13: and the dream was why keeping it in play, keeping
51:54
Speaker 13: the topic coming that someday this would happen. So well done,
52:00
Speaker 13: fellas you and Joe. Have never seen anything like it
52:03
Speaker 13: in my life to where it's grassroots. And I know
52:07
Speaker 13: we've done our part. I don't know that we were
52:11
Speaker 13: directly responsible. But when people get on the radio airwaves
52:15
Speaker 13: like you and Joe, and you bring on the right
52:17
Speaker 13: guests and this keeps not going away, it comes over
52:21
Speaker 13: the tipping point and all of a sudden, Now a
52:25
Speaker 13: favor who once said that told me on the phone
52:28
Speaker 13: that he would be happy to investigate this, but there
52:31
Speaker 13: would have to be more funding for an investigation launched
52:34
Speaker 13: through the Ohio legislative process, that they would have.
52:37
Speaker 1: To fund it.
52:38
Speaker 13: And I said, aren't you already funded? And isn't medicaid
52:40
Speaker 13: like the biggest fraud going on right now? How do
52:43
Speaker 13: you prioritize what you do? Had no good answer, And
52:47
Speaker 13: Mike DeWine who claimed that it wasn't fraud and talked
52:49
Speaker 13: about how much oversight there was the GM Joint Medicine,
52:54
Speaker 13: Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee, there was Mark Romanschuck was the
52:58
Speaker 13: chair on that thing for years, along with a bunch
53:01
Speaker 13: of other Democrats and Republicans that sat on that thing
53:04
Speaker 13: didn't do a damn thing. They all failed, And now
53:09
Speaker 13: it's in the bright lights. And now they're moving forward
53:12
Speaker 13: because the FEDS are coming in, and I hope they
53:14
Speaker 13: get everything they deserve, and I hope the FBI is
53:18
Speaker 13: calling in because this state cannot be trusted to solve
53:20
Speaker 13: this problem on its own. But I appreciate everything that
53:24
Speaker 13: you and Joe have done and all the guests over
53:27
Speaker 13: the years to finally make this happen because I didn't
53:31
Speaker 13: know that it ever would.
53:32
Speaker 1: And praying for your health man, and appreciate you.
53:35
Speaker 4: And your family, and hope everything continues to go good
53:39
Speaker 4: for you.
53:39
Speaker 5: But yeah, take a bow, brother, well done.
53:43
Speaker 1: Other people have done the work. I'm merely and thankfully
53:45
Speaker 1: in a position where I can pass along that work
53:47
Speaker 1: to others. And Daily You referred to Luke Rosiac, that
53:52
Speaker 1: is the reporter from the Daily Wire who uncovered a
53:54
Speaker 1: lot of this fraud at least summarized it in really
53:56
Speaker 1: excellent reporting style. Jostrekker is going to try to get
53:59
Speaker 1: them on the program. I believe next week we'll keep
54:01
Speaker 1: our fingers crossed that we can dive onto the details
54:03
Speaker 1: about that. But yeah, Faber did an audit. It was
54:05
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four audit. One of the protections in terms
54:08
Speaker 1: of Medicaid fraud is the electronic verification Well it by law,
54:13
Speaker 1: by law, out of the twenty first Century Cures Act
54:16
Speaker 1: Congress passed in twenty sixteen, requires electronic visit verification at
54:24
Speaker 1: least by January twenty twenty. That we should have been
54:26
Speaker 1: doing this for the past six years for any personal
54:29
Speaker 1: service that will be non medical services cooking and cleaning. Yes,
54:32
Speaker 1: you and I, the American taxpayer, through the Medicaid program,
54:35
Speaker 1: pay family members who sometimes live in the same home
54:38
Speaker 1: as the elderly, who get home healthcare from family members.
54:42
Speaker 1: We pay them to do it. And you know how
54:44
Speaker 1: much verification there is on that. None like zero. That's
54:47
Speaker 1: what the audit revealed. Forty four percent of these personal
54:51
Speaker 1: service had zero electronic verification. They're supposed to have electronic
54:55
Speaker 1: verification so they can show, yes, I the provider was
54:59
Speaker 1: in the same location as the recipient and I can
55:02
Speaker 1: document that I was actually there providing services. You take
55:05
Speaker 1: that away. All you're doing is taking their word for it.
55:08
Speaker 1: You don't think there's any fraud wasting of use in that,
55:10
Speaker 1: do you?
55:10
Speaker 2: No?
55:11
Speaker 1: No, hell no. So there's all kinds of detail on this,
55:14
Speaker 1: But what happened to the electronic verification. Why did it
55:17
Speaker 1: go away? No, there seems to be no answer for that.
55:21
Speaker 1: Shortly before EVED was made mandatory quote, it was rendered
55:24
Speaker 1: neuter as a fraud prevention tool. Most important feature, GPS
55:27
Speaker 1: coordinates captured by an electronic device, was made optional and
55:32
Speaker 1: defaulted to the off position. GPS functionality with the EVV
55:36
Speaker 1: application or device may only be activated with the sign
55:39
Speaker 1: consent of the individual receiving services. Get a load of that.
55:43
Speaker 1: So you and a family member collude to rip off
55:46
Speaker 1: the American taxpayer by making fake claims for household services.
55:52
Speaker 1: The individual receiving the money has to approve of the
55:56
Speaker 1: electronic monitoring. There are recipients of federal money. Take what
56:00
Speaker 1: comes with the federal money. It's called strings attached. Sucks
56:03
Speaker 1: to be. If you don't want to allow for EVV,
56:04
Speaker 1: then you don't get it. Now, that's not the way
56:06
Speaker 1: it was operated. I'm just scratching the surface of this, folks. Unbelievable.
56:14
Speaker 1: It's the system. It's just the way it works, right.
56:18
Speaker 1: You heard that before some of the d Wine spokesman
56:22
Speaker 1: regarding the Somali community ripping us off. James, you're on
56:25
Speaker 1: the phone. I see you're gonna take your call and
56:27
Speaker 1: come back for you. Do mind holding It's art station
56:30
Speaker 1: six fifty fifty five KRCD talk station E Friday, Congressman
56:33
Speaker 1: Davidson after top the hour day before it jump over
56:35
Speaker 1: the phones real quick. Here put an exclamation point on
56:37
Speaker 1: that electronic verification with regard to Medicaid. So the law
56:40
Speaker 1: as of twenty sixteen requires it under the twenty first
56:43
Speaker 1: Century Cures Acts. As it has been reported, I just
56:45
Speaker 1: read what I'm writing, and I read what I'm seeing
56:48
Speaker 1: here mandates you have these electronic visit verifications. Why because
56:54
Speaker 1: it's easy to rip everyone off. GPS turned off this
57:03
Speaker 1: electronic verification turned off nearly half of the home visits
57:06
Speaker 1: reliable coordinates only in fifty three percent of the electronic records.
57:10
Speaker 1: The patient also was supposed to sign their name to
57:13
Speaker 1: show that the patient and aid were actually together. Again,
57:16
Speaker 1: you got family members being paid to provide care for
57:19
Speaker 1: their own family members. Nothing to see there but the
57:23
Speaker 1: signature requirement that was removed in twenty twenty four court
57:28
Speaker 1: in Fabers audit Huh Attorney General Davis Guest earlier this year,
57:35
Speaker 1: they're tasked with policing Medicaid fraud testified about the rollback
57:37
Speaker 1: in the safeguards made his job difficult. In this audit quote,
57:42
Speaker 1: until about a year ago, GPS was required. Now it's optional.
57:47
Speaker 1: And here's a big giant what quote. I do not
57:53
Speaker 1: know for the life of me why it went away,
57:55
Speaker 1: But I respectfully ask you put in statue where no vendor,
57:58
Speaker 1: no bureaucrat can object to legitimate monitoring. Huh, it's a
58:02
Speaker 1: law on the books. You don't need another statute. Who
58:05
Speaker 1: turned it off? He says he doesn't know. While we
58:10
Speaker 1: had the GPS, you could see where the person was
58:13
Speaker 1: they had to drive to the house or the person
58:14
Speaker 1: they were providing services to. You could see how long
58:17
Speaker 1: they were there. That record makes it much harder to
58:19
Speaker 1: do the fake billing where they say they went to
58:21
Speaker 1: five houses but really sat at home. Right? Who turned
58:26
Speaker 1: off the protection mechanism? Hum? Do wne? Maybe I think
58:33
Speaker 1: that's a question that needs to be asked, honestly, Mississippi James,
58:37
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. In a happy Friday eve you,
58:39
Speaker 1: sir Joe. Oh there we go, Mississippi James. Go ahead.
58:46
Speaker 2: Oh, good morning, doctor Brian, come in peace, love everybody,
58:50
Speaker 2: and there's nothing you can do about it. Hey, you know.
58:53
Speaker 2: When I first called in, I wanted to talk about
58:56
Speaker 2: the Kentucky election, and I realized that don't have a
59:00
Speaker 2: dog in that fight, or what I say may be
59:03
Speaker 2: taken out of context now, and I didn't want to
59:07
Speaker 2: hang up. I wanted to go ahead and finish. But
59:10
Speaker 2: as I was listening, it was speaking of this medicaid
59:13
Speaker 2: program where the meth family member get paid to care. Well,
59:19
Speaker 2: I was offered that program, but first of all, I
59:23
Speaker 2: didn't like it. Well, well, I don't qualify for Medicaid anyway.
59:27
Speaker 2: There is a way to qualify for Medicaid, but I
59:31
Speaker 2: didn't want to have to keep up with records on
59:33
Speaker 2: a daily basis to show. Now, the pretense of it
59:38
Speaker 2: was to keep your loved one out of the nursing
59:40
Speaker 2: home because this nursing home was so expensive. So they said,
59:45
Speaker 2: if we paid the family member, maybe they had to
59:48
Speaker 2: keep that person out the nursing home and they can
59:50
Speaker 2: die at home and it's cheaper that way. So I
59:54
Speaker 2: understand that premises, but say, what's the god rails or
59:58
Speaker 2: what's that you know, the aid get the nurse as
1:00:01
Speaker 2: they saying, it needs some checks and balance on it.
1:00:04
Speaker 2: So it may be a good program. Like I say,
1:00:07
Speaker 2: I didn't want to get involved with it because I
1:00:10
Speaker 2: felt like, you know, hey, that's my loved one. I'm
1:00:13
Speaker 2: gonna take care of her as though she was up
1:00:15
Speaker 2: and healthy. Yeah, you know, not document every piece of
1:00:20
Speaker 2: food I buy to say this went toward her, every
1:00:24
Speaker 2: gallon of gas. I had to drive her somewhere. Sure
1:00:28
Speaker 2: it was more hassle to me personally than to just hey,
1:00:32
Speaker 2: do what I'm doing, and I'm getting my blessing from above.
1:00:35
Speaker 1: But you know, if those safeguards are in place, obviously
1:00:39
Speaker 1: it makes it more challenging to rip people off. It's
1:00:42
Speaker 1: you know, federal money always comes with strings attached. You
1:00:45
Speaker 1: take it with the strings, or in your case, James,
1:00:47
Speaker 1: you refuse it. I don't want to deal with the hassle.
1:00:49
Speaker 1: And that's a great decision you made. I appreciate why
1:00:52
Speaker 1: you made it. Others well, I'm willing to do the
1:00:54
Speaker 1: paperwork because we need the money and I gotta take
1:00:56
Speaker 1: care of mom because she's sicken and bed at home.
1:00:58
Speaker 1: Get that ultra. I'm sure it's always the predicate for
1:01:01
Speaker 1: some big fat piece of government legislation. But they the
1:01:04
Speaker 1: federal government and our lords and masters and state government
1:01:07
Speaker 1: who apparently are responsible for fraud wasted abuse in watching
1:01:10
Speaker 1: where the federal dollars go. Should have everything in place
1:01:13
Speaker 1: to protect us from getting ripped off. And if you've
1:01:16
Speaker 1: got family members working together and they're not obligated to
1:01:18
Speaker 1: provide that documentation like here in Ohio, where there's no
1:01:21
Speaker 1: electronic verification, where there's no paperwork done, where one can
1:01:24
Speaker 1: vouch for the other one, it's ripe with fraud waste abuse.
1:01:27
Speaker 1: As fabers audit revealed, half the claims don't have any confirmation.
1:01:32
Speaker 1: That is a huge problem. So yeah, take the strings attach,
1:01:38
Speaker 1: make sure that the strings that are attached are being followed,
1:01:41
Speaker 1: or don't pay the only way to stop it. And
1:01:44
Speaker 1: I just it just really bothers me that this has
1:01:47
Speaker 1: gone on for so long in Ohio and no one
1:01:49
Speaker 1: lifted a finger to do anything about it. In fact,
1:01:50
Speaker 1: made it easier to rip us off. It's seven oh
1:01:56
Speaker 1: six fifty five GARSD Talk Station and Ryan Thomas happy
1:01:59
Speaker 1: vv here now because it's time when we welcome to
1:02:02
Speaker 1: the fifty five Parise Morning Show. Congressman Warren Davidson. Congressman Davidson,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure to have you on the fifty
1:02:07
Speaker 1: five Krsey Morning Show, Welcome back, sir.
1:02:10
Speaker 14: Likewise, Brian always look forward to catching up.
1:02:12
Speaker 1: Looking forward to November or toward November. Obviously, inflation's are real,
1:02:16
Speaker 1: genuine concern. The numbers were kind of off the charts.
1:02:18
Speaker 1: Of course, the ripple effect from the high price of
1:02:21
Speaker 1: gasoline and most notably diesel has a ripple effect. I'm
1:02:24
Speaker 1: stating the obvious, but people are feeling it. I guess
1:02:26
Speaker 1: I really. I just I struggle with the idea that
1:02:30
Speaker 1: someone would either not show up to vote, recognizing by
1:02:33
Speaker 1: not voting there in essence voting for the other side.
1:02:35
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking of Republicans maybe, but that someone would
1:02:38
Speaker 1: vote for a Democrat because of inflation, recognizing what the
1:02:44
Speaker 1: Democrats stand for, which is more of what we've got now.
1:02:48
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Democrats are doing in the price
1:02:49
Speaker 1: gas goes up, it's all the name of climate change.
1:02:51
Speaker 1: But if Donald Trump tries to do someone with the
1:02:54
Speaker 1: Iranians like every other president prior to him has been
1:02:56
Speaker 1: trying to do, then we all feel the pain of it.
1:02:59
Speaker 1: But we're not willing to ill with this short term
1:03:01
Speaker 1: reality to maybe come up with a better end. Congressman Davidson,
1:03:04
Speaker 1: your reaction and what your thought is is we run
1:03:08
Speaker 1: headlong in November.
1:03:10
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean last week, you know, we had primaries
1:03:13
Speaker 14: in Ohio. I was in the district all last week
1:03:17
Speaker 14: talking to people, and yeah, candidly. I mean, some people
1:03:20
Speaker 14: on the writer are a little dismayed, and you know, well,
1:03:22
Speaker 14: we wanted this and this and that, and okay, fair enough.
1:03:26
Speaker 14: The Senate's kind of running their own blockade on legislation there.
1:03:30
Speaker 14: It's hard to get anything through the Senate straits over there.
1:03:34
Speaker 14: But you know, in Okay, gas price is high.
1:03:39
Speaker 2: I get it.
1:03:39
Speaker 14: I'm not happy about it either. But if you don't
1:03:43
Speaker 14: fight to hold the ground we've already taken, we're going
1:03:45
Speaker 14: to lose ground ground you won't defend, we're going to lose.
1:03:48
Speaker 14: And don't forget the Democrats are crazy and they tell
1:03:52
Speaker 14: you that every day.
1:03:52
Speaker 4: They come out with plans. They think high gas prices
1:03:55
Speaker 4: are a feature.
1:03:56
Speaker 14: I'll complain about it when Trump's president.
1:03:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they.
1:03:59
Speaker 14: Designed a Green New Deal to make energy costs high
1:04:03
Speaker 14: and you know, make it hard to generate electricity and
1:04:06
Speaker 14: mandate that everyone uses electric. They wanted high gas prices
1:04:09
Speaker 14: on cars so that they could force you to drive
1:04:12
Speaker 14: an electric vehicle. They want digital ID, they want a
1:04:16
Speaker 14: surveillance state, they want central bank, digital currency, they want
1:04:18
Speaker 14: all these kinds of things out there. So they haven't
1:04:22
Speaker 14: stopped being crazy. And I get it, you might beat
1:04:25
Speaker 14: this made because XYZ isn't happening yet or something you
1:04:28
Speaker 14: didn't want has happened. But November is our versus d time, Like, look,
1:04:35
Speaker 14: this is normal versus crazy, and the primary is are
1:04:39
Speaker 14: where you fight it out and go which direction do
1:04:41
Speaker 14: we want the party to go? And increasingly though, I
1:04:43
Speaker 14: do find some people who feel like neither party really
1:04:46
Speaker 14: represents them. And I think that's the challenge for Republicans
1:04:49
Speaker 14: and frankly Democrats to listen. You know, there was a
1:04:51
Speaker 14: time where, you know, law and order wasn't a partisan issue.
1:04:55
Speaker 14: When you look at the things going on in Cincinnati air, like, really,
1:04:59
Speaker 14: you e out of five people for misdemeanors that are
1:05:02
Speaker 14: committing what looks like felonies.
1:05:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not going to have trials for this stuff.
1:05:06
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not putting people in jail to.
1:05:08
Speaker 14: Commit serious crimes. It seems pretty crazy.
1:05:11
Speaker 4: I wonder why you're getting more crime. I don't see
1:05:13
Speaker 4: how that's partisan.
1:05:15
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more and to a conversation
1:05:17
Speaker 1: we had earlier. We were discussing the massy Gowrain, the
1:05:21
Speaker 1: most expensive race for a House representative seat in the
1:05:24
Speaker 1: history of our country. Mind you that someone commented that, well,
1:05:27
Speaker 1: Massie shouldn't even be running as a Republican. He's not
1:05:29
Speaker 1: a Republican. I just pause it, wait a second. I
1:05:32
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is to be a Republican
1:05:34
Speaker 1: or even a Democrat these days. The width and of
1:05:37
Speaker 1: the differences between someone with a D next to their
1:05:40
Speaker 1: name Communist all the way to our JFK kind of Democrats,
1:05:44
Speaker 1: and over on the Republican side, you know, your rhinos
1:05:46
Speaker 1: all the way over to your hardest maybe libertarian minded
1:05:49
Speaker 1: folks like myself. It's a big tent and a lot
1:05:52
Speaker 1: of different types of rs and d's are beneath it.
1:05:56
Speaker 1: I think that's just we find ourselves more and more
1:05:59
Speaker 1: diverse within our our own parties these days.
1:06:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:06:03
Speaker 14: Look, I've encouraged Matt Walsh to do his next documentary
1:06:07
Speaker 14: and call it what is a Republican? You know, because
1:06:10
Speaker 14: what is a Woman story was pretty successful.
1:06:12
Speaker 4: And laid it out.
1:06:14
Speaker 14: Now finally everybody knows what a woman is, but a
1:06:17
Speaker 14: Republican it is harder to define. You know, the party
1:06:20
Speaker 14: is really a coalition the Democrats. You basically have classical
1:06:24
Speaker 14: Democrats to communists, and the Republicans basically have versusly everybody
1:06:28
Speaker 14: but communists in the GOP.
1:06:32
Speaker 4: It with that kind of big tent.
1:06:34
Speaker 14: Building that frankly, Donald Trump led to give us the
1:06:37
Speaker 14: majorities and to get the White House again, to give
1:06:41
Speaker 14: us the majorities in the Senate, to give us the
1:06:42
Speaker 14: majorities in the House.
1:06:44
Speaker 4: It took everybody.
1:06:45
Speaker 14: We get the nearest majority going, and you lose that
1:06:49
Speaker 14: faction that frankly, Thomas Massey represents really well. On the
1:06:52
Speaker 14: one hand, then you go to the other end and
1:06:54
Speaker 14: you're like, what does Michael Aller do and talking about
1:06:56
Speaker 14: amnesty plans? Where was that on the Republican plan? Why
1:07:00
Speaker 14: can't we get rid of the Green New Deal?
1:07:02
Speaker 4: Well, guys like Michael.
1:07:03
Speaker 14: Ohler, And you're like, okay, these guys classically would be
1:07:07
Speaker 14: called the rhinos. The guys that are supporting and defend
1:07:09
Speaker 14: the Constitution and want smaller government, they would classically be
1:07:13
Speaker 14: called conservatives.
1:07:14
Speaker 4: So the idea that.
1:07:17
Speaker 14: You're going to call Massio rhino, I'm like, well, maybe
1:07:21
Speaker 14: if you consider that Republicans have dsted over him here
1:07:24
Speaker 14: to Johnathon Mike Lawler Land, then yeah, those of us
1:07:28
Speaker 14: that still want conservatives smaller government, maybe we really are
1:07:33
Speaker 14: the Republicans in name only because we're still for like
1:07:35
Speaker 14: the old platform that wanted more freedom and less government.
1:07:39
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, Consman David said, I I thought when I
1:07:43
Speaker 1: first read this and my reaction along these lines, you know,
1:07:46
Speaker 1: it's in essence again thinking about how you would vote
1:07:48
Speaker 1: in November given this state of economic affairs right now,
1:07:51
Speaker 1: and I know it's not great. But Democrat California Representative
1:07:54
Speaker 1: Ted lou He had a post on social media, and
1:07:58
Speaker 1: at first I read it, I thought, Wow, a Democrat
1:08:02
Speaker 1: is warning about what will happen if the Democrats take
1:08:05
Speaker 1: over in the midterms. No, no, no, he is proud
1:08:08
Speaker 1: of what will come if they do. Here's what he
1:08:11
Speaker 1: had to say. Illegals will get back full scope medical
1:08:14
Speaker 1: That would be the Medicare and program in California. Medicaid
1:08:17
Speaker 1: free insurance, free dental benefits under medical free, pre natal
1:08:20
Speaker 1: and postmartem care, restored coverage for undocumented children with young
1:08:24
Speaker 1: and young adults. Tax credits were undocumented and free snap
1:08:27
Speaker 1: food stamps assistance like I said. I first read that,
1:08:30
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, a Democrat is warning about this.
1:08:32
Speaker 1: It's going to be a financial catastrophe. We're giving all
1:08:34
Speaker 1: of these taxpayer dollar programs to illegal immigrants. No, this
1:08:38
Speaker 1: is something he's campaigning on.
1:08:41
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:08:42
Speaker 2: No.
1:08:42
Speaker 14: I was talking with a Democratic colleague about, you know,
1:08:46
Speaker 14: the difference between Trump's border being secure and theirs and
1:08:49
Speaker 14: you know, and she's like, yeah, I mean we didn't
1:08:52
Speaker 14: accidentally open the border.
1:08:53
Speaker 4: I mean, we're for this. And I'm like, well, okay,
1:08:57
Speaker 4: we know that.
1:08:58
Speaker 14: And that's the thing is going to the election you
1:09:00
Speaker 14: take for granted. Well, now it feels better because we
1:09:03
Speaker 14: have a secure border. I don't forget the minute that
1:09:06
Speaker 14: Democrats get a chance to have an open border or
1:09:10
Speaker 14: turn off the funding. I mean, they don't have the
1:09:11
Speaker 14: majority right now. Somehow soon got boxed in in the Senate.
1:09:15
Speaker 14: We aren't even funding ice and border patrol with current appropriations.
1:09:19
Speaker 14: We're doing that with funding from last year's big beautiful
1:09:23
Speaker 14: bill that was supposed to be a surge in resources
1:09:26
Speaker 14: for ice and border patrol. Now they're on life support
1:09:29
Speaker 14: and over the neck. Before June first, we get to
1:09:32
Speaker 14: find a way to get some cash back into the
1:09:35
Speaker 14: ice and portatrol. We literally have signed off on a
1:09:39
Speaker 14: funding plan that the Senate says, this is the only
1:09:43
Speaker 14: thing we can get done. Because John Thune, the guy
1:09:47
Speaker 14: who said I want to lead the Senate, is full
1:09:49
Speaker 14: of excuses and not full of finding a way. And
1:09:52
Speaker 14: my view leaders find a way.
1:09:55
Speaker 4: He's not doing that. I mean, he should have held
1:09:57
Speaker 4: the floor.
1:09:58
Speaker 14: And said, I'm happy to have you debate every every
1:10:00
Speaker 14: single day why you don't want to fund a secure border. Yeah,
1:10:05
Speaker 14: if you why you don't want to screen the voter
1:10:07
Speaker 14: rolls for people that are here illegally, we can talk
1:10:11
Speaker 14: about that every single day until election day in November.
1:10:15
Speaker 14: I couldn't think of a better campaign at you don't
1:10:17
Speaker 14: even have to spend money, you just that's the only
1:10:19
Speaker 14: thing going on on the Senate floor until the Democrats
1:10:22
Speaker 14: concede that the American people do want a secure border.
1:10:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's we I mean, the Republicans are on
1:10:28
Speaker 1: the winning side of that from a pole standing standpoint.
1:10:31
Speaker 1: That's an issue that is you know, shared by Democrats,
1:10:34
Speaker 1: Republicans and independence to light a secure border. You know,
1:10:37
Speaker 1: And going back to one of the bigger points in
1:10:38
Speaker 1: this gallery, massy thing going back and forth. You know,
1:10:41
Speaker 1: they're critical of Donald Trump or Thomas Massey for not
1:10:44
Speaker 1: voting for Donald Trump's border wall. I got to be
1:10:46
Speaker 1: quick to interject, just a simple change of administration without
1:10:49
Speaker 1: an extra mile of wall being built, resulted in the
1:10:52
Speaker 1: border being shut down and the stop of the flow
1:10:54
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants. It's amazing what one administration change can do.
1:10:58
Speaker 1: But to your point, the Democrats, obviously in dealing with
1:11:02
Speaker 1: the funding issue, are not dealing with it. Clearly want
1:11:05
Speaker 1: the funding to stop so there are no resources so
1:11:08
Speaker 1: the border gets back open again. I mean, that's just
1:11:10
Speaker 1: flat out anti American, nefarious congressman messy my comments not yours,
1:11:15
Speaker 1: but you can reply.
1:11:18
Speaker 14: Yeah, look, I mean the idea that we need a
1:11:20
Speaker 14: wall to secure the border. I think, having been down
1:11:24
Speaker 14: there and looked at it, it's not like what people
1:11:27
Speaker 14: are depicting like. It's a wall, like the big brick
1:11:30
Speaker 14: wall that surrounds the Vatican and keeps all illegals out
1:11:34
Speaker 14: of the Vatican. It's a fence, really steel fence. It's
1:11:41
Speaker 14: got slats so you can see what's on the other side.
1:11:43
Speaker 14: That's a security feature. It's kept all kinds of sensors
1:11:47
Speaker 14: on it, so you can detect all kinds of things
1:11:50
Speaker 14: in it. The other thing is they built a road network,
1:11:54
Speaker 14: and when I was down there, they're like, look, the
1:11:56
Speaker 14: train in a lot of these areas very rugged, and
1:12:00
Speaker 14: we were on horseback and ATVs to be able to
1:12:02
Speaker 14: get through here. So the coyotes, cartel guys that were
1:12:06
Speaker 14: traffic the people through the border, they would find these
1:12:09
Speaker 14: really rugged areas and bring people through and it was
1:12:11
Speaker 14: just hard to get to and if you could get
1:12:14
Speaker 14: to them, it's like you've got two guys, but now
1:12:16
Speaker 14: you've got forty cartel people and you're like, what are
1:12:18
Speaker 14: we going to do here? You can't even get reinforcements
1:12:21
Speaker 14: very easily. So this road network's been able to get
1:12:24
Speaker 14: them to respond and have defense in depth, and then
1:12:28
Speaker 14: back behind the border fence the road it is our
1:12:34
Speaker 14: sensors and arrays that have not just cameras, but thermals, seismic,
1:12:39
Speaker 14: all kinds of signals, intelligence, and literally Joe Biden was
1:12:42
Speaker 14: turning those things off and disabling them when he was president.
1:12:46
Speaker 14: This is money that we had already spent. And they say, well,
1:12:49
Speaker 14: the president can't just ignore Congress. Congress already appropriated the
1:12:54
Speaker 14: money for the wall. The wall was there and Joe
1:12:56
Speaker 14: Biden literally sold it off. I mean these things like, Okay,
1:13:01
Speaker 14: we had a handful of people who didn't vote the
1:13:02
Speaker 14: right with this passed. And I think the idea that
1:13:06
Speaker 14: it's quote a wall and everything, Look, it's a it's
1:13:09
Speaker 14: a very effective way to improve our border security. I
1:13:13
Speaker 14: think it's a common sense thing, and that is part
1:13:16
Speaker 14: of what we've the good things that came out of
1:13:19
Speaker 14: the beautiful bill. There's some compromises that guys like michae
1:13:22
Speaker 14: Lawler that wants an amnesty plan forced us to keep
1:13:26
Speaker 14: in there and you know, bailouts for blue states with
1:13:30
Speaker 14: state and local tax deductions for places like Eric in California.
1:13:33
Speaker 14: They're giddy.
1:13:34
Speaker 4: But okay, he's a representative from New York and.
1:13:37
Speaker 14: I'm glad we can get a Republican elected in New York.
1:13:40
Speaker 14: His views would probably be left to Greg Landsmanth's number
1:13:44
Speaker 14: of issues, time to vote for the when it's time
1:13:48
Speaker 14: to vote for speaker.
1:13:50
Speaker 4: At least Lawler's in the right side on that one.
1:13:52
Speaker 1: There you go, what does it mean to be a Republican?
1:13:54
Speaker 1: And real quick here, all those sensors that you refer to,
1:13:57
Speaker 1: those are great. If there's someone there in a position
1:14:00
Speaker 1: to respond to the activity that is alerted by the censors.
1:14:03
Speaker 1: Go back to the Democrats refusing to fund more with
1:14:06
Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson paused for a moment. Let me mention, pain
1:14:09
Speaker 1: you have constant Joint seventy two, I fifty have krc
1:14:12
Speaker 1: DE tox station Bron Thomas with Congressman Born Davidson. Congressman Davidson.
1:14:17
Speaker 1: President Trump's talk was Jijenping. I know that the Iran
1:14:19
Speaker 1: war will come up in conversation. The Chinese are feeling
1:14:22
Speaker 1: it as a consequence, like apparently everybody else in the
1:14:25
Speaker 1: world is. You obviously have the inflation thing going on
1:14:27
Speaker 1: because of the price of oil due to the disruption
1:14:29
Speaker 1: of the Strait of horror moves. But it seems like
1:14:32
Speaker 1: the more we move through this, more bad news comes out. Now.
1:14:35
Speaker 1: Donald Trump had talked about destroying completely the Iranian military,
1:14:38
Speaker 1: but US intelligence now is acknowledging, at least widely reported
1:14:41
Speaker 1: that yeah, well, they do have about ninety percent of
1:14:45
Speaker 1: their underground missile storage lawn facilities as well as drone
1:14:48
Speaker 1: manufacturing capabilities. We didn't get rid of that. And the
1:14:51
Speaker 1: thought is the Iranians are holding us our standing firm
1:14:54
Speaker 1: on their position because they're going to unleash those on
1:14:57
Speaker 1: the various United Arab Emirates, Saudi and the other oil
1:15:00
Speaker 1: producers in the region to wreak even more economic havoc
1:15:03
Speaker 1: on the world. That's kind of a strong hand. They
1:15:06
Speaker 1: have mines now at submarines, the small swift boats they
1:15:10
Speaker 1: have zipping all over the place, reportedly about a thousand
1:15:12
Speaker 1: of those. What's your take on this and where are
1:15:15
Speaker 1: we in terms of your perception in terms of negotiations
1:15:18
Speaker 1: with the Iranians.
1:15:20
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's progress that we have a ceasefire
1:15:22
Speaker 14: that is, you know, into or not with no violations,
1:15:26
Speaker 14: but you know, relative relative de escalation.
1:15:30
Speaker 4: I think both sides would like to get a.
1:15:34
Speaker 14: I guess a documented framework to be able to coexist
1:15:37
Speaker 14: peacefully moving forward. And I think that's progress. I think
1:15:42
Speaker 14: China can be helpful on that and nessiative of the Iceberg.
1:15:45
Speaker 14: President Trump's a trip to China has been long awaited.
1:15:48
Speaker 14: I think this is going to be one of the
1:15:49
Speaker 14: most consequential things for the US for years if it's
1:15:54
Speaker 14: done well, and frankly, if it's done terribly. So hopefully
1:15:58
Speaker 14: it's done really well and you get a nice framework
1:16:02
Speaker 14: for how the US and China work together and compete
1:16:07
Speaker 14: and have shared interests, and a clear delineation where we
1:16:12
Speaker 14: divide on those things and we can do that peacefully.
1:16:15
Speaker 14: China would certainly be more advantaged by having a good
1:16:19
Speaker 14: relationship with the United States than by having a good
1:16:22
Speaker 14: relationship with Iran, and I think they can be helpful
1:16:26
Speaker 14: in providing leverage to get Iran to do the right
1:16:28
Speaker 14: things there. But look, independent of anyone else, Iran's.
1:16:32
Speaker 4: Military is strong. It's big, powerful.
1:16:36
Speaker 14: The country's you know, four times as big as California,
1:16:39
Speaker 14: with some incredibly rugged terrain, and our military is amazing.
1:16:44
Speaker 14: The tactical operations and the precision of the strikes.
1:16:49
Speaker 4: Have been amazing. But they got backed off to some extent.
1:16:53
Speaker 14: They took out most of the missile loan capability, They've
1:16:57
Speaker 14: wiped out a lot of the major navy opera, and
1:17:00
Speaker 14: the blockade is working. And I think in that sense,
1:17:02
Speaker 14: strategic patience is smart for what the President's doing there.
1:17:08
Speaker 14: And if you pump oil every day, you got to
1:17:10
Speaker 14: ship it oil every day. One of the most troubling
1:17:13
Speaker 14: things is Iran. Once they run out of places to
1:17:16
Speaker 14: put the oil, they may be dumping oil into the golf,
1:17:19
Speaker 14: creating a massive environmental disaster, and that'll have huge consequences.
1:17:25
Speaker 4: Just for shipping lanes and use of the Persian golf
1:17:30
Speaker 4: going forward.
1:17:31
Speaker 14: So I think we got to get find a way
1:17:34
Speaker 14: to get this resolved, and I'm hopeful that this trip
1:17:37
Speaker 14: to China helps produce it, because I hate to see
1:17:39
Speaker 14: it be escalated again and longer more intense were coming afterwards.
1:17:46
Speaker 1: Well, I hate to give up on the idea of
1:17:48
Speaker 1: the international community might step up and go Wait a second,
1:17:50
Speaker 1: the Iranians are at fall for all this. Sure, Donald
1:17:52
Speaker 1: Trump launched the war against the Iranians with the Israelis help,
1:17:55
Speaker 1: but in the final analysis, the Iranians were always the
1:17:58
Speaker 1: flying the ointment. They funded terrorism, are the ones that
1:18:00
Speaker 1: greed that caused instability in the region. They're the ones
1:18:03
Speaker 1: largely responsible for various upticks and downticks and the oil prices.
1:18:07
Speaker 1: I mean, the world is hurting because the Iranians have
1:18:11
Speaker 1: shut down. The straight of horror moves. Where is the
1:18:14
Speaker 1: rest of the world before we part company? Congressman Davidson, Well, there.
1:18:18
Speaker 14: Are the same place as the Democrats. It's all Trump's fault.
1:18:21
Speaker 14: They named Trump, and the reality is that you're picking
1:18:24
Speaker 14: a ran over Donald Trump, and then you get to
1:18:26
Speaker 14: be crazy. I mean, so's that's the reality is. You
1:18:29
Speaker 14: got the globalists running the European Union trying to push it,
1:18:32
Speaker 14: couldn't even get it through in Britain, so now they
1:18:35
Speaker 14: got the king doing the chief globalism stuff over there.
1:18:38
Speaker 14: It's just a reminder of why we declared our independence
1:18:41
Speaker 14: in the first place. So all the Democrats want us
1:18:44
Speaker 14: to be more and more like Europe and it's like, no, no,
1:18:47
Speaker 14: let's remember what we did here.
1:18:49
Speaker 4: We aren't those folks.
1:18:50
Speaker 14: We're going to defend freedom, and I think that's the thing.
1:18:53
Speaker 14: Keep calm and defend freedom.
1:18:55
Speaker 4: If you do that, things are going to be okay.
1:18:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, the European Union sure has a problem with immigration
1:18:59
Speaker 1: as well. We don't they Maybe that's part of a
1:19:01
Speaker 1: grand design as we part company. Congressman Warren Davids and
1:19:04
Speaker 1: I certainly appreciate you're coming to the program every week.
1:19:06
Speaker 1: It's always great having you on. We'll do it again
1:19:08
Speaker 1: next week and between now and then. Keep my fingers
1:19:10
Speaker 1: crossed for a global peace as well as you're having
1:19:13
Speaker 1: a great week. Take care of my friend seven thirty two.
1:19:18
Speaker 1: Think you about car CD talk station Well cop Show
1:19:20
Speaker 1: theme song, which is appropriate given that our friend signal
1:19:24
Speaker 1: ninety nine in front of the City of sim saying
1:19:25
Speaker 1: Hamil on the county, generally speaking, someone that comes with
1:19:27
Speaker 1: the information and the facts to back it up. Craziness
1:19:31
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati, generally speaking. Welcome back, Carolyn. Is a
1:19:33
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you in the studio, and I appreciate
1:19:35
Speaker 1: what you do over on Facebook, keeping us all in
1:19:38
Speaker 1: tune to what's going on out there and the sort
1:19:40
Speaker 1: of the general lawless reality of the Council of the
1:19:43
Speaker 1: current administration. Good to see you again.
1:19:45
Speaker 15: It's good to see you too. It's good to be
1:19:47
Speaker 15: in here.
1:19:47
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're able to show up in person helping
1:19:49
Speaker 1: me this morning for you desperately needed. Let's start with this,
1:19:53
Speaker 1: this post you had about the First Amendment right to
1:19:55
Speaker 1: free speech and this Terry versus Ohio case. What we're
1:19:59
Speaker 1: I guess the gist of this is we're supposed to
1:20:01
Speaker 1: just stand around and let suspicious people do whatever the
1:20:03
Speaker 1: hell they want without sort of walking up to them
1:20:05
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, what are you doing here? Boiling it
1:20:08
Speaker 1: down to its baressed elements. You can fill up my
1:20:10
Speaker 1: listeners on the details.
1:20:11
Speaker 16: Well, what happened was is a First Amendment auditor, which
1:20:15
Speaker 16: if you don't know what that is. They run around
1:20:18
Speaker 16: to places like BMV and different public spaces, and they
1:20:23
Speaker 16: like in the post office. They like to film people
1:20:27
Speaker 16: and attract attention so that law enforcement gets called and
1:20:30
Speaker 16: then they have an interaction with law enforcement on camera,
1:20:34
Speaker 16: and sometimes that can get pretty heated.
1:20:38
Speaker 1: Well, isn't that why they're doing it? Oh, that's exactly
1:20:40
Speaker 1: why they're okay, I just want to make sure I'm
1:20:41
Speaker 1: clear on that. They are intentionally creating a scenario where
1:20:44
Speaker 1: police perhaps overreact or absolutely do anything untoward, and.
1:20:48
Speaker 16: Then they take their little video and they put it
1:20:51
Speaker 16: on social media and they put it on YouTube, and
1:20:53
Speaker 16: then it drives traffic and they make money off of that.
1:20:57
Speaker 16: So they're monetized. This is how they make their dough.
1:21:00
Speaker 16: So and if they happen to get arrested, wrongfully arrested, manhandled,
1:21:06
Speaker 16: whatever you want to call it, then they sue, you know,
1:21:09
Speaker 16: and they get these settlements.
1:21:10
Speaker 15: And these these idiots have.
1:21:14
Speaker 16: Made careers out of this, so that oh it's that bad,
1:21:19
Speaker 16: it's all It's all over the country.
1:21:21
Speaker 1: So these are all okay, Okay, not just since city
1:21:23
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. This is a phenomenon going everywhere, which shocks
1:21:26
Speaker 1: no one, I imagine.
1:21:27
Speaker 16: Right, So what happened was this, This gentleman walked into
1:21:31
Speaker 16: a bank downtown and while filming, starts asking them really
1:21:37
Speaker 16: bizarre questions.
1:21:39
Speaker 15: You know, how many people work here, what time do
1:21:42
Speaker 15: they come in, what time do they leave?
1:21:45
Speaker 16: Tell me about the vault, tell me about your security.
1:21:50
Speaker 16: And he's doing it on purpose to make them uneasy,
1:21:53
Speaker 16: which works, so the security kicks them out. Okay, So
1:21:59
Speaker 16: now he's on the side walk filming through the windows
1:22:02
Speaker 16: of the bank. And when they kicked him out, they
1:22:04
Speaker 16: called the They called nine one one and said, hey,
1:22:07
Speaker 16: we have a suspicious guy.
1:22:09
Speaker 15: We don't know if he's casing.
1:22:10
Speaker 1: The bank or what, but he's not there to do
1:22:13
Speaker 1: bank business.
1:22:14
Speaker 16: This is something he correct and he's filming not just employees,
1:22:18
Speaker 16: he's filming customers that are completing transactions.
1:22:21
Speaker 15: So but it's in a public space. So anyways, CPD
1:22:26
Speaker 15: shows up and it's it's the bike patrol.
1:22:28
Speaker 1: I think three of them probably working overtime.
1:22:31
Speaker 16: And I don't know how much you know about Terry
1:22:33
Speaker 16: versus Ohio Terry stops Terry law. Yes, but when they
1:22:38
Speaker 16: have reasonable cause suspicious activity. They can absolutely insist on
1:22:45
Speaker 16: getting id from you, asking you questions. They can detain you,
1:22:50
Speaker 16: they can arrest you, they can patch you down. That
1:22:54
Speaker 16: is Terry versus Ohio.
1:22:57
Speaker 15: Literally.
1:22:58
Speaker 16: So what happened was the officers showed up and they said, well,
1:23:01
Speaker 16: what are you doing and he said, I don't have
1:23:02
Speaker 16: to talk to you.
1:23:04
Speaker 15: And they said, well, okay, but you do you know
1:23:09
Speaker 15: what are you know? What's the purpose of this?
1:23:13
Speaker 16: And he said, I don't have to answer your questions,
1:23:15
Speaker 16: and it just kind of got in this little tit
1:23:17
Speaker 16: for tat and he said, well, why don't you go
1:23:19
Speaker 16: talk to that guy? And he's pointing at the guy
1:23:21
Speaker 16: from the bank, and they said, well, we're going to
1:23:24
Speaker 16: but right now we're.
1:23:25
Speaker 15: Talking to you. He goes, well, I'm going to go talk.
1:23:26
Speaker 16: To that guy, and he goes, no, you're not, You're
1:23:28
Speaker 16: going to talk to me. He said, no, I'm going
1:23:30
Speaker 16: to go talk to that guy. And he went to
1:23:33
Speaker 16: walk towards the guy and the officer stepped in front
1:23:37
Speaker 16: of him, and he kind of pushed his way past
1:23:39
Speaker 16: the officer. So another officer said, okay, put your hands
1:23:42
Speaker 16: behind your back. Well, then he turned around and tried
1:23:44
Speaker 16: to walk off, so instead of just detaining him, they
1:23:47
Speaker 16: arrested him. Well, and he brought it all on himself
1:23:52
Speaker 16: and he thinks he's got this big whopping lawsuit against
1:23:55
Speaker 16: the city and let me, Brian, here's the thing for me.
1:23:58
Speaker 15: The city issued this ridiculous statement. Did you see it?
1:24:02
Speaker 2: I did not.
1:24:03
Speaker 16: Oh, you know, we're aware of the complaint. CPD issued it.
1:24:08
Speaker 16: We're aware of the complaint and it is being investigated.
1:24:12
Speaker 16: They didn't say what it was about. So like eight
1:24:14
Speaker 16: million people were messaging me what is this about? So
1:24:17
Speaker 16: I did a little post and said what it was about,
1:24:19
Speaker 16: and oh my god, the trolls came out.
1:24:23
Speaker 1: Oh the trolls and force.
1:24:25
Speaker 15: And so they're all First Amendment auditor experts.
1:24:28
Speaker 16: Now of course they all got their YouTube School of
1:24:31
Speaker 16: Law degrees apparently, because.
1:24:33
Speaker 1: But ignoring that there are limitations to literally every single
1:24:36
Speaker 1: constitutionally protected right, absolutely limitations. Right, it's a strict scrutiny test.
1:24:41
Speaker 1: But you can limit First Amendment as well as Second
1:24:43
Speaker 1: Amen and other things if you have the right to
1:24:45
Speaker 1: find parameters. Of course, Terry versus Ohio, I answered that
1:24:48
Speaker 1: question a while back. Pause, we are out of time
1:24:50
Speaker 1: in the segment, we will continue so forty if you
1:24:53
Speaker 1: have KERCD talk station, integrity, courage, bravery, protecting those who
1:24:59
Speaker 1: protect That's what my challenge coin says. My signal ninety
1:25:02
Speaker 1: nine challenge Coin on Amy proud recipient of that. Thank
1:25:04
Speaker 1: you very much, Carolyn for this wonderful, wonderful gift and
1:25:07
Speaker 1: the work that you do exposing this nonsense going on. So,
1:25:10
Speaker 1: going back to this quote unquote First Amendment issue, people,
1:25:14
Speaker 1: you know, just filming this guy's in the bank and
1:25:16
Speaker 1: obviously asking weird questions, which suggests maybe they need to
1:25:20
Speaker 1: bring law enforcement into find out why this guy is there,
1:25:23
Speaker 1: not doing bank business but filming customers, interfering the bank personnel,
1:25:27
Speaker 1: asking very strange questions. Fine, the police show up and
1:25:30
Speaker 1: this person interferes with the police, refuses to answer questions
1:25:33
Speaker 1: and even pushes the police officer aside. That sounds remarkably
1:25:36
Speaker 1: similar to what Iris Rolli has been caught on camera
1:25:39
Speaker 1: doing to police officers, interfering with them doing their police work.
1:25:45
Speaker 15: I would bet the dregs of my four h one
1:25:48
Speaker 15: k that Iris has probably reached out to this.
1:25:50
Speaker 1: Individual leading by example she was, So why then the
1:25:57
Speaker 1: weird no going back to Terry versus Ohio, which says
1:26:00
Speaker 1: that these stops, these requests for ID the inquiries by
1:26:04
Speaker 1: police are lawful. They are not in violation of someone
1:26:08
Speaker 1: constitutional rights. That's a case on the books. Why did
1:26:11
Speaker 1: the NILLA response from the Cincinni Police Department. You'd expect,
1:26:14
Speaker 1: you know, Interim Chief Henny to stand up and say, listen,
1:26:17
Speaker 1: you know, we're looking into this. Internal affairs is looking
1:26:20
Speaker 1: into this. But in defense of the police officers, we
1:26:23
Speaker 1: do have this case called Terry versus Ohio, which allows
1:26:25
Speaker 1: them to do this kind of inquiry.
1:26:27
Speaker 15: Absolutely crickets that crickets.
1:26:32
Speaker 1: Have you heard from any of the police officers and
1:26:35
Speaker 1: the response to all this, I mean.
1:26:37
Speaker 16: That's how I got all the information that I got
1:26:39
Speaker 16: to make the posts that I made, so.
1:26:43
Speaker 15: Humh yeah, several. And I got to tell you.
1:26:48
Speaker 16: Yesterday their morale took a beating because of all the
1:26:52
Speaker 16: comments online on the videos, on the media that covered
1:26:58
Speaker 16: the videos.
1:27:01
Speaker 15: They're feeling pretty pretty kicked to the curb.
1:27:05
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I just have to say, and this
1:27:08
Speaker 1: is my belief. Statistics may prove me wrong, but the
1:27:13
Speaker 1: trolls are Gonnatrol and the Squeaky Wheel gets the grease
1:27:17
Speaker 1: and I bet they represent such a small percentage of
1:27:20
Speaker 1: the population because it seems to me, and look at
1:27:23
Speaker 1: the overtime hours they have ramped up patrols. They're paying
1:27:26
Speaker 1: an extra twenty five million dollars in overtime. Why to
1:27:30
Speaker 1: increase police presence in downtown Cincinnati to satisfy the demands
1:27:35
Speaker 1: of the population of the city who thinks crime's gotten
1:27:38
Speaker 1: out of control and we need more police. Bucking the
1:27:40
Speaker 1: anti police sentiment expressed by many people so an elected capacity,
1:27:44
Speaker 1: others just being as paid consultants by the City of
1:27:46
Speaker 1: Cincinnati to peddle their anti police wares. But I'm thinking
1:27:51
Speaker 1: most people are happy with more police. So those trolls online,
1:27:56
Speaker 1: as loud and as vile as they happen to be
1:27:58
Speaker 1: to my police officer friends there, don't let them get
1:28:01
Speaker 1: under your skin. That's exactly what they want. They want
1:28:05
Speaker 1: you to feel bad and depressed because they're out trolling
1:28:08
Speaker 1: when they don't represent the majority viewpoint of the city
1:28:10
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati generally, speaking of the population. Writ large pause
1:28:13
Speaker 1: at seven twenty five, We'll bring back single ninety nine.
1:28:15
Speaker 1: Speaking of overtime out it's seven point fifty at fifty
1:28:23
Speaker 1: five k C Detalk station boy, Carolyn, you're putting a
1:28:25
Speaker 1: smile on my face on air and off air, crazy stories.
1:28:27
Speaker 1: We're talking about, send lawyers, guns and money. The pineapple
1:28:31
Speaker 1: is hit the fan.
1:28:32
Speaker 15: That's right.
1:28:33
Speaker 1: We had a caller earlier accidentally drop the S word,
1:28:35
Speaker 1: and remember I incorrectly flagged you. You did not say that.
1:28:38
Speaker 1: So we've decided that no longer will the S word
1:28:41
Speaker 1: enter into our lexicon. It'll be pineapple as a substitute.
1:28:45
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, the pineapples hit the fan.
1:28:47
Speaker 1: In terms of city council budgeting, they're thirty just shy,
1:28:50
Speaker 1: a thirty million dollar budget deficit, and I guess they
1:28:54
Speaker 1: have the amount of overtime for the Cincinnati Police Department
1:28:58
Speaker 1: has gone up to twenty four million dollars, which is
1:29:00
Speaker 1: double what it was last year. Now there's the whole
1:29:03
Speaker 1: question of, well where does the money come from, because
1:29:06
Speaker 1: this is sort of an extra line item in the
1:29:09
Speaker 1: budget because they never budget enough for overtime and intentionally
1:29:12
Speaker 1: lower it's I think they actually budgeted for like nine
1:29:14
Speaker 1: million dollars. Well here they are facing twenty four twenty
1:29:16
Speaker 1: five million and growing. But it I guess can the
1:29:23
Speaker 1: police even handle it? That's my biggest kiss conn of that.
1:29:26
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm a police officer and I'm a
1:29:28
Speaker 1: position to work extra, I'll take the overtime. It's a
1:29:31
Speaker 1: lot of extra money, right, And doesn't that also get
1:29:34
Speaker 1: calculated into my ultimate payout during retirement? Don't you get
1:29:38
Speaker 1: the highest earning years while you work. So we are
1:29:42
Speaker 1: creating a bigger long term problem with pension payments because
1:29:48
Speaker 1: these officers can now make a whole lot more money
1:29:51
Speaker 1: if they exhaust themselves working. But then again, the corollarya
1:29:54
Speaker 1: is that, well, wait a second, I'm an officer that
1:29:57
Speaker 1: has a family and a life outside of my job.
1:29:59
Speaker 1: I'd like to be able to go so enjoy that.
1:30:00
Speaker 1: You're depriving me of any benefit of even working. I
1:30:03
Speaker 1: can't even go home and spend my money. So where
1:30:04
Speaker 1: are we on this?
1:30:06
Speaker 16: Well, remember last time I was here, we talked about
1:30:10
Speaker 16: the six point seven million dollar budget cut that they
1:30:13
Speaker 16: were going to hit. Yes, yes, and I said to you,
1:30:16
Speaker 16: that'll never happen. We're coming up into summer and the
1:30:20
Speaker 16: overtime is going to be off the hook, So that
1:30:23
Speaker 16: budget cut's not going to happen.
1:30:25
Speaker 1: It couldn't, it can't.
1:30:27
Speaker 16: And not only that, but the city do you know
1:30:29
Speaker 16: what PVO is. It's a it's a police visibility officer.
1:30:36
Speaker 16: It's a detail where they drive around and they're visible.
1:30:38
Speaker 16: Oh okay in high crime areas. So the city manager
1:30:43
Speaker 16: just mandated twenty four to seven PVO for Fountain Square,
1:30:48
Speaker 16: so they have to pull from the relief shifts to
1:30:51
Speaker 16: cover that. So if it's not fieled, they're implementing rotations
1:30:56
Speaker 16: to pull from all of the districts to cover those
1:30:59
Speaker 16: PVOs down at Fountain Square. So again we're looking at
1:31:04
Speaker 16: we're going to be looking at mandatory overtime. If somebody
1:31:07
Speaker 16: doesn't sign up for it, somebody's gonna get appointed to
1:31:10
Speaker 16: go work in that detail. This is summertime. Police officers
1:31:17
Speaker 16: just like everybody else. They have plans, They have families
1:31:20
Speaker 16: and vacations or they maybe they you know, they have
1:31:23
Speaker 16: their own plans and they put in for their vacation. Sure,
1:31:28
Speaker 16: mandatory overtime is a morale killer. It's okay for a
1:31:31
Speaker 16: couple of weeks, like, hey, we really need your help
1:31:34
Speaker 16: for the next couple of weeks. We're going to pull
1:31:37
Speaker 16: some mandatory overtime. There'll be a rotation. Yeah, But when
1:31:41
Speaker 16: you don't have an expiration date on it, and you're
1:31:44
Speaker 16: saying it's until further notice. That just tanks morale because
1:31:49
Speaker 16: nobody can make plans, they have to cancel plans. They
1:31:51
Speaker 16: made people start calling off, people start looking for other jobs.
1:31:55
Speaker 1: And I was waiting for you to say that. Yeah,
1:31:57
Speaker 1: because in spite of the fact that they've approved to
1:32:00
Speaker 1: recruiting classes, as reported, the numbers of police officers active
1:32:04
Speaker 1: police officers are projected to be even lower next year
1:32:07
Speaker 1: than they are this year. And right now we're about
1:32:09
Speaker 1: one hundred short.
1:32:12
Speaker 15: I think we're closer to like one hundred and twenty.
1:32:14
Speaker 1: Oh okay, but we did just have on Carolyn.
1:32:17
Speaker 16: Yeah, well we were at like one hundred and thirty,
1:32:19
Speaker 16: but then we had an academy class come through. But
1:32:21
Speaker 16: then you got to remember you've got uh, several officers
1:32:27
Speaker 16: that'll be retiring this year.
1:32:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:32:29
Speaker 16: So, I mean, if you look at the FOP Queen
1:32:32
Speaker 16: City FOP page, co President Cover is very good about
1:32:36
Speaker 16: announcing retirements on that page, and he've got retirements every week.
1:32:42
Speaker 15: Every single week.
1:32:43
Speaker 16: He's announcing you know, so and so's retiring after this
1:32:47
Speaker 16: many years every single week. So it's it's not like
1:32:50
Speaker 16: they go for a large expanse of time where nobody retires.
1:32:54
Speaker 16: It's a constant turning cycle.
1:32:57
Speaker 1: Well, as we're going to break the other elephant of
1:32:59
Speaker 1: the room, at least in my head, as you talked
1:33:00
Speaker 1: about this mandatory overtime or voluntary time, the point is
1:33:04
Speaker 1: to patrol Fountain Square.
1:33:07
Speaker 15: Well, that's just one.
1:33:09
Speaker 16: That's that's one po twenty four to seven assignment that
1:33:12
Speaker 16: the city manager pulled out.
1:33:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you mentioned withdrawing officers from elsewhere to patrol
1:33:19
Speaker 1: Fountain Square. So my logical question is, well, if the
1:33:23
Speaker 1: criminal element out there knows that Fountain Square is going
1:33:26
Speaker 1: to have twenty four to seven officers around, aren't there
1:33:30
Speaker 1: other neighborhoods that that crime could be committed in if
1:33:32
Speaker 1: that's what they're inclined to do? Reasked rhetorically, there is.
1:33:36
Speaker 16: But I will say this, both shootings at Fountain Square,
1:33:38
Speaker 16: the one we recently had that was a fatality, and
1:33:41
Speaker 16: the one we had last summer that they you know,
1:33:43
Speaker 16: basically fired Chief thiegi Ever, Yeah, they had officers detailed
1:33:50
Speaker 16: on the square both times. Oh okay, so both times
1:33:53
Speaker 16: there were police officers working a detail right there on
1:33:57
Speaker 16: the square and they they got in gunway.
1:34:00
Speaker 1: So theoretically it's supposed to keep crime at bay. In actuality,
1:34:05
Speaker 1: it doesn't always work out that way. We'll continue with
1:34:08
Speaker 1: more of these issues. Signal ninety nine, all the way
1:34:09
Speaker 1: until we hear a'll five the pick about Kars talk
1:34:13
Speaker 1: station Happy Friday e bottom of the hour. I heard
1:34:16
Speaker 1: mediaviation expert Jay Rattlok every Thursday here the pick about
1:34:19
Speaker 1: Caarsee mornings in the meantime, trouble at this station. Signal
1:34:22
Speaker 1: ninety nine. Facebook Find her on Facebook. It's easy to
1:34:25
Speaker 1: do and find out what she has to say about
1:34:26
Speaker 1: craziness going on in the city of Cincinnati. And then
1:34:28
Speaker 1: the break there, Carolyn, you were talking about, and I
1:34:31
Speaker 1: think this suggests very good news. The Finny law firm's
1:34:35
Speaker 1: gotten bigger. Yes, they merged with another firm, They certainly did.
1:34:40
Speaker 1: And what does that suggest to you? Which is really
1:34:42
Speaker 1: the big question here.
1:34:43
Speaker 15: They're getting ready to kick a lot of pineapples.
1:34:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll elaborate on what you mean by that,
1:34:49
Speaker 1: because we all know what pineapple means.
1:34:51
Speaker 15: Now, yeah, well we've got well pineapple could mean any cursor.
1:34:56
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough.
1:34:57
Speaker 15: So the Chief Washington decision should drop any day that
1:35:05
Speaker 15: should be.
1:35:06
Speaker 1: Coming out Fire Chief Washington is waiting for a big
1:35:08
Speaker 1: payout due to his wrongful termination, So you expect that
1:35:11
Speaker 1: payout to show up shortly.
1:35:13
Speaker 16: Well, I expect the decision from the federal court to
1:35:15
Speaker 16: drop soon, like any day, and then I don't think
1:35:18
Speaker 16: they're going to reverse the lower courts, and that will
1:35:22
Speaker 16: mean Cheryl Long does not get to keep qualified immunity.
1:35:26
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, so he's gonna get He's going to get
1:35:30
Speaker 16: to go right after her as.
1:35:32
Speaker 1: Well, sue her individually.
1:35:34
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, that's.
1:35:37
Speaker 1: That's going to hurt. Yeah, so well her anyway.
1:35:41
Speaker 16: So I have a feeling that's part of the reason
1:35:43
Speaker 16: why the Finny law firm extended Chief Fiji's case. You've
1:35:47
Speaker 16: got Sherman Smith is probably going to be suing the
1:35:52
Speaker 16: city over the CFD boloney, You've got well Denita Pettis, So.
1:36:01
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, yeah, that's right, Captain Petis.
1:36:04
Speaker 16: Yeah, if you think about all these lawsuits, and that
1:36:08
Speaker 16: doesn't even count Alex Stravinsky, So.
1:36:12
Speaker 15: You know that's going to be a lawsuit coming up.
1:36:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, the heat deserved it what.
1:36:17
Speaker 16: He got, guy, right, And I'm sure Holly, Oh yeah,
1:36:21
Speaker 16: Holly's probably going to be filing too. So yeah, there
1:36:25
Speaker 16: I mean, there's no shortage of lawsuits against the city,
1:36:29
Speaker 16: and I don't think there's.
1:36:31
Speaker 1: Going to be well on the other side of the equation.
1:36:33
Speaker 1: Going back to your the First Amendment information you gave
1:36:35
Speaker 1: us earlier, there apparently no shortage potential lawsuits from people
1:36:38
Speaker 1: who feel they got their rights violated by the insint
1:36:40
Speaker 1: police Department, which it seems to me the par Bowl
1:36:44
Speaker 1: administration share along at all all seemed really anxious to
1:36:48
Speaker 1: write a check in those cases. Well, it's almost like
1:36:52
Speaker 1: there's no defense whatsoever.
1:36:53
Speaker 16: Yeah, I was told by a very reliable source that
1:36:56
Speaker 16: the city moves about one and a half million dollars
1:36:58
Speaker 16: a month out of the general fund over for lawsuits.
1:37:03
Speaker 16: They pay out lawsuits almost just just constantly, So lawsuit
1:37:08
Speaker 16: for here, lawsuit for there, a little bit here, a
1:37:12
Speaker 16: little bit there.
1:37:13
Speaker 1: Well, who's charged with defending the city on that, isn't
1:37:16
Speaker 1: it the Solicitor's office? And wouldn't you expect that maybe
1:37:21
Speaker 1: some emotions or court papers would be filed in defense
1:37:25
Speaker 1: of the city before checks are written.
1:37:27
Speaker 15: One would also think that, yes, oh.
1:37:29
Speaker 1: Interesting that, Carolyn. I know, well, what's the story on felonies?
1:37:34
Speaker 1: You were talking off air? They're always interested in working
1:37:39
Speaker 1: a plea deal negotiation, and apparently the I guess the
1:37:42
Speaker 1: prosecutors are walking away from going after felony one type
1:37:46
Speaker 1: of prosecutions in favor of resolving them out of court
1:37:49
Speaker 1: ahead of time. And I know there are plea deals
1:37:51
Speaker 1: that are enter into all the time, and usually the
1:37:53
Speaker 1: argument is from the prosecutor's office, Well, we got a conviction, yes,
1:37:57
Speaker 1: on a lesser offense, but we got the conviction. We
1:37:59
Speaker 1: didn't have to expend taxpayer dollars to try the case.
1:38:02
Speaker 1: We could lose in court with some savvy defense lawyer
1:38:05
Speaker 1: proving guilt beyond you know, saying that does not guilty
1:38:07
Speaker 1: on a reasonable doubt. I understand the argument. But from
1:38:10
Speaker 1: what I heard from you, this has become seemingly a
1:38:13
Speaker 1: broader trend.
1:38:15
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, well we've seen it since Connie Pillach took office.
1:38:21
Speaker 15: The first thing she did was fired a bunch of veteran.
1:38:24
Speaker 1: Prosecutors, bad idea.
1:38:26
Speaker 16: Which caused a mass accidents of a lot of other prosecutors.
1:38:31
Speaker 16: You know, there are a couple handful left that are
1:38:37
Speaker 16: still there, but they're inundated with stuff so they're busy.
1:38:41
Speaker 16: And then you got all these little baby lawyers now
1:38:44
Speaker 16: who work for the prosecutor's office and a prosecutor that
1:38:46
Speaker 16: has no idea what she's doing.
1:38:48
Speaker 1: Well, she never did prosecute a case on her own,
1:38:50
Speaker 1: did she?
1:38:51
Speaker 16: Just the one a few months back where she was
1:38:56
Speaker 16: she was argue against early release.
1:39:02
Speaker 1: Okay, well, someone who has practiced law, I'll be the
1:39:04
Speaker 1: first person to tell you you don't know Jack Squad
1:39:08
Speaker 1: as a new lawyer period. You need mentors exactly, You
1:39:15
Speaker 1: need experienced lawyers to walk you through the process. I
1:39:19
Speaker 1: was the benefit of that wonderful training at the law
1:39:21
Speaker 1: firms I work with when I was doing civil work.
1:39:23
Speaker 1: Defense works the same thing. You got your own set
1:39:26
Speaker 1: of rules. You have to know them and understand them.
1:39:28
Speaker 1: You have your own set of I mean, you're talking
1:39:29
Speaker 1: about constitutionally protected rights here, so you really have to
1:39:32
Speaker 1: found understanding the constitution, but also the inner workings of
1:39:36
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system.
1:39:38
Speaker 17: Who do you work?
1:39:39
Speaker 1: It's just so getting rid of some serious long term
1:39:43
Speaker 1: talent is I think it always cases a terrible idea.
1:39:46
Speaker 1: And I suppose I really would want to know what
1:39:48
Speaker 1: was the reason for firing those long standing prosecutors. Is
1:39:51
Speaker 1: it political? Were they just rubbing budding heads politically?
1:39:54
Speaker 16: It was absolutely political. So like she came in and
1:39:59
Speaker 16: fired Dave would like the first week she was in office.
1:40:04
Speaker 16: I mean, he was one of the first ones to
1:40:06
Speaker 16: go boom gone. And then that, of course caused a
1:40:10
Speaker 16: lot of other people to go, oh no, no, no,
1:40:12
Speaker 16: no no, I'm not going to work here for her.
1:40:14
Speaker 15: So yeah, it's just you know, I get it.
1:40:19
Speaker 16: You have this political ideology and you want to be
1:40:21
Speaker 16: more of a social worker than a prosecutor. And but
1:40:27
Speaker 16: we need a prosecutor and we need judges who are
1:40:30
Speaker 16: going to do their jobs.
1:40:31
Speaker 1: Well, I would argue the prosecutor's office is no place
1:40:34
Speaker 1: for a reformists. No, that's the end of the line. Well,
1:40:39
Speaker 1: actually the end of the line is the judge in
1:40:40
Speaker 1: who's who you're trying the case in front of. But
1:40:43
Speaker 1: if the prosecutor's office isn't the one entity you can
1:40:46
Speaker 1: count on to be tough on crime, then we're screwed.
1:40:52
Speaker 15: Boiling it down absolutely Well.
1:40:56
Speaker 1: I guess elections have consequences in Hamilton County, do they not?
1:41:00
Speaker 5: Yes?
1:41:00
Speaker 16: And I gotta tell you, I get that comment all
1:41:03
Speaker 16: the time on my page. You get what you voted for,
1:41:07
Speaker 16: You deserve everything you get, and you know it sets
1:41:10
Speaker 16: my head on fire brand. I didn't vote for any
1:41:13
Speaker 16: of that. No, I live in Cincinnati, I live in
1:41:15
Speaker 16: Hamda County.
1:41:17
Speaker 15: I did my duty. I voted, and i.
1:41:20
Speaker 16: Didn't vote for any of this. And I'm just tired
1:41:23
Speaker 16: of people regurgitating the same thing over and over.
1:41:26
Speaker 1: I get it, but let me ask I think this
1:41:29
Speaker 1: is an important thing to bring up in response to
1:41:33
Speaker 1: that type of comment. Yes, elections have consequences. Do you
1:41:36
Speaker 1: know who's reminding people of it with specific detail over
1:41:39
Speaker 1: and over again?
1:41:41
Speaker 2: Ye?
1:41:41
Speaker 1: You're the one.
1:41:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:41:43
Speaker 1: That's why I recommend people read what you write, because
1:41:46
Speaker 1: if Signal ninety nine it wasn't giving you all this
1:41:48
Speaker 1: information and detail, you wouldn't realize the consequence of your
1:41:53
Speaker 1: vote or your lack of vote.
1:41:54
Speaker 2: Thank you.
1:41:55
Speaker 1: It's local reporting done by someone who is not quote
1:41:59
Speaker 1: unquote a really an official reporter. I don't even know
1:42:01
Speaker 1: what that means anymore. If you can go out and
1:42:03
Speaker 1: gather information, you can put it together in a coherent
1:42:06
Speaker 1: form like you do, and provide quite often the documents
1:42:09
Speaker 1: backing up what you are summarizing. You're basically doing a
1:42:13
Speaker 1: reporter's job. Where is everybody else on this?
1:42:17
Speaker 15: Hm forets?
1:42:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, and that's why you have the trolls out
1:42:22
Speaker 1: there angry that you're actually bringing this to people's attention. So,
1:42:26
Speaker 1: you know, without the trolls, without the anger and the
1:42:28
Speaker 1: vitriol that you face as a consequence of bringing this up,
1:42:30
Speaker 1: if it wasn't there, then maybe your job would be
1:42:33
Speaker 1: as well could be viewed as redundant. Oh, we heard
1:42:36
Speaker 1: that Channel nine reported on that. Channels well've reported on that. Yeah,
1:42:39
Speaker 1: we read the interview with so and so. It's like
1:42:41
Speaker 1: you're just repeating what other people have done. No, this
1:42:43
Speaker 1: is new, and it shouldn't be new, and it shouldn't
1:42:45
Speaker 1: be the sole source of information over its signal ninety nine.
1:42:49
Speaker 1: Thank you, that's my impression.
1:42:50
Speaker 15: Well, thank you.
1:42:51
Speaker 1: Well that's why why Kevin even here to talk about this.
1:42:54
Speaker 15: Just really just hmm, Hey, can I give a shout
1:42:57
Speaker 15: out really quick?
1:42:58
Speaker 1: Of course you can.
1:42:59
Speaker 3: So.
1:42:59
Speaker 16: I want to give a shout out to the Miami
1:43:01
Speaker 16: Township Police Department for protecting me from my little Clarmont
1:43:05
Speaker 16: County stalker. Earlier this week, I got a speaking engagement.
1:43:09
Speaker 1: I do concredulation.
1:43:11
Speaker 15: Thank you in what way?
1:43:14
Speaker 13: Thank you?
1:43:14
Speaker 1: In what way was rendered to you? Carolyn?
1:43:18
Speaker 16: They pulled their suv cruiser blocking my stalker's view to
1:43:26
Speaker 16: the front door where I was walking in to be
1:43:28
Speaker 16: a keynote speaker, and it was my absolute pleasure to
1:43:33
Speaker 16: speak for them and and and be there.
1:43:36
Speaker 15: But I just want to thank the Miami Township p D.
1:43:39
Speaker 1: They hooked me up props the Miami Township PD. I
1:43:42
Speaker 1: think there's other police departments. You have comments on going
1:43:45
Speaker 1: on generally speaking in the area. We can do that
1:43:48
Speaker 1: coming back. Yeah, I think writing for example, wasn't it.
1:43:51
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean we could rehash that if you want,
1:43:53
Speaker 15: you talking about whatever you want.
1:43:54
Speaker 1: Hash or rehash. Now, I'm letting you be the guide today.
1:43:57
Speaker 1: Given the brain fog I'm dealing with, Carolyn, I am
1:44:00
Speaker 1: not in a position to really steer the direction of
1:44:02
Speaker 1: the conversation. So I'm thankful I've got you and Jay
1:44:05
Speaker 1: Ratliffe coming up next.
1:44:06
Speaker 10: Folks.
1:44:10
Speaker 1: Eight nineteen at fifty five KR City Talk Station, Carolyn
1:44:15
Speaker 1: aka Signaled ninety nine, Trouble at the station, says she
1:44:18
Speaker 1: on so many issues and before we get to a
1:44:20
Speaker 1: breaking story here at here first and fifty five KR
1:44:25
Speaker 1: CD Talk Station Signal ninety I know that one just
1:44:26
Speaker 1: real quickly, the triple fatality fire that happened on Was
1:44:34
Speaker 1: it North Edgewood Avenue? You hit something about that one, Carolyn.
1:44:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:44:38
Speaker 16: Back in January we had that triple fatality fire. Remember
1:44:43
Speaker 16: they called nine one said they were trapped on the
1:44:47
Speaker 16: second floor.
1:44:47
Speaker 1: They were live on the phone with the phone.
1:44:54
Speaker 15: We just we I mean, this is so incredible to me.
1:45:00
Speaker 16: So the call taker that took that call, that spoke
1:45:04
Speaker 16: on the phone to the victim, okay, shouted across the
1:45:10
Speaker 16: room to the bridge where the bridge is where the
1:45:14
Speaker 16: supervisors sit.
1:45:15
Speaker 1: Okay, in the communications center, there's like.
1:45:18
Speaker 15: Yep, they call it the bridge.
1:45:19
Speaker 1: That's where the supervisor said, Captain Kirk.
1:45:22
Speaker 15: Yes.
1:45:23
Speaker 16: So the call taker shouted to the bridge and said,
1:45:26
Speaker 16: we've got three people trapped on the second floor. Put
1:45:29
Speaker 16: it out over the air. Put it out over the air.
1:45:32
Speaker 1: Because the call the exchange was not over the air.
1:45:35
Speaker 15: Correct, It was in the CAD system buried in the notes.
1:45:38
Speaker 1: Documented in the notes that this conversation was going on,
1:45:41
Speaker 1: and yet the firefighters on the scene had no.
1:45:43
Speaker 15: Call, no idea that there were three people trapped on
1:45:46
Speaker 15: the second floor.
1:45:47
Speaker 1: Correct.
1:45:48
Speaker 16: So the supervisors shouted to the dispatcher, three people trapped
1:45:54
Speaker 16: on the second floor.
1:45:55
Speaker 15: Put it out. Put it out, put it out.
1:45:57
Speaker 16: The dispatcher never did it, So it was actually the
1:46:01
Speaker 16: dispatcher dropped the ball, not the call taker, not the supervisors,
1:46:07
Speaker 16: but the dispatcher. And that dispatcher has not been punished,
1:46:13
Speaker 16: written up, disciplined in any way.
1:46:17
Speaker 15: It's like it never happened.
1:46:20
Speaker 1: So the call taker is so worried about this not
1:46:23
Speaker 1: being broadcast to the fire personnel on the scene, screams
1:46:28
Speaker 1: across the room to the head Captain Kirk.
1:46:31
Speaker 15: Correct.
1:46:32
Speaker 1: Captain Kirk says, get it out there on the air.
1:46:37
Speaker 1: And that wasn't followed through. It seems me the sense
1:46:42
Speaker 1: of urgency couldn't be understated at that moment in time.
1:46:44
Speaker 16: Well, and not only that, then the city came back
1:46:46
Speaker 16: and said, oh, there were no policies violated.
1:46:50
Speaker 1: What is wait a second, is there not a policy
1:46:54
Speaker 1: that says, if you know there's a person trapped inside
1:46:56
Speaker 1: the building and you have them on the phone, you
1:46:58
Speaker 1: need to broadcast that.
1:46:59
Speaker 16: Absolutely, that's a policy. That's a policy. I believe it's
1:47:02
Speaker 16: eight oh three, so you have.
1:47:03
Speaker 1: A specific number, it's right there. So how can they
1:47:06
Speaker 1: say the policy wasn't violated when demonstrablything else.
1:47:11
Speaker 15: Yeah, they they just didn't think we'd.
1:47:13
Speaker 1: Figure that out in the face of the overwhelming evidence
1:47:16
Speaker 1: has been reported, the fact that the CAD notes show
1:47:20
Speaker 1: that this was going on.
1:47:21
Speaker 15: Correct.
1:47:22
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, so well, if you have a public that
1:47:25
Speaker 1: doesn't really pay attention to these matters, they might listen
1:47:27
Speaker 1: to lies that are told to them. Oh, I don't know,
1:47:29
Speaker 1: saying like a campaign ad for a politician, for example.
1:47:32
Speaker 1: Nobody ever lies in that true.
1:47:34
Speaker 16: I just hope the family of Marion Schwartz and sell
1:47:38
Speaker 16: Archenbald and A's Lynn Kafaro.
1:47:41
Speaker 15: I hope they have an attorney.
1:47:43
Speaker 1: Oh lord, another eight million dollar check? I guess.
1:47:46
Speaker 15: Oh, I think it would be much more than that.
1:47:49
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what the status of the fire
1:47:51
Speaker 1: personnel's liability, if there is any, in the course of
1:47:54
Speaker 1: the responsibilities, But I guess one can make an argument
1:47:58
Speaker 1: about gross neglige and just saying it's possible. Legal brains
1:48:03
Speaker 1: sort of working this morning and pivot it over to Redding.
1:48:05
Speaker 1: Apparently we have some shenanigans going on with you. Was
1:48:08
Speaker 1: it the Redding police chief?
1:48:09
Speaker 16: Yeah, he, you know, he's The Crossdon report came out
1:48:13
Speaker 16: last year with a whole bunch of red flags that
1:48:16
Speaker 16: all pointed at the chief, Brian Edens, and they said,
1:48:20
Speaker 16: you know, basically he's an ineffective leader about a communication.
1:48:23
Speaker 16: He's retaliatory. You know, fourteen officers have left under his watch.
1:48:30
Speaker 16: Council kind of circled their wagons. So did the mayor.
1:48:33
Speaker 15: Oh no, he's fine, we don't We're not going to
1:48:36
Speaker 15: put a lot of stock in this report. They should
1:48:38
Speaker 15: have been more thorough.
1:48:40
Speaker 16: I mean, I think they spent like twenty four or
1:48:42
Speaker 16: twenty seven thousand dollars for this report.
1:48:44
Speaker 15: It was very thorough.
1:48:47
Speaker 1: Parallels to be drug with the police chief.
1:48:49
Speaker 15: Yea issues here, so they kind of they kind of
1:48:52
Speaker 15: just blew it off like no big deal.
1:48:55
Speaker 16: Edens did nothing in his department to really fix any
1:49:00
Speaker 16: thing that was called out in the cross and report.
1:49:02
Speaker 16: In fact, the retaliatory behavior continued right up into this year.
1:49:07
Speaker 16: So and then in January, him and his hubris Okay
1:49:16
Speaker 16: needed to make some type of an appointment for his
1:49:18
Speaker 16: brother for a doctor's appointment, And instead of texting his
1:49:22
Speaker 16: brother or someone in the family or looking up on
1:49:25
Speaker 16: Google or the auditor's.
1:49:26
Speaker 15: Site, he tells a clerk, Hey, run out my brother
1:49:30
Speaker 15: and get me his address. I need to make a doctor's.
1:49:33
Speaker 1: Appointment using the police resources to find an address.
1:49:36
Speaker 16: You can't do you see, I see LEADS and see
1:49:40
Speaker 16: I see yeah it's yeah, it's felonies.
1:49:43
Speaker 1: I can't use that database look up your ex girlfriend
1:49:46
Speaker 1: from back in high now.
1:49:47
Speaker 16: And he would know that because he used to be
1:49:49
Speaker 16: the LEADS administrator that recertified everybody in LEADS every year,
1:49:53
Speaker 16: so he knew that.
1:49:55
Speaker 15: He just simply didn't care. Okay, So he's not on
1:49:58
Speaker 15: an administrative leave right now.
1:50:00
Speaker 1: Fair enough. What should have been, perhaps the icing on
1:50:02
Speaker 1: the cake, was the report finding him I guess to
1:50:06
Speaker 1: be ineffective in some way. Yeah, it should have been enough,
1:50:09
Speaker 1: But then he sealed his own fate by violating the
1:50:11
Speaker 1: law and doing this check.
1:50:13
Speaker 15: Well, I'm hoping so seems that one I'm hoping writing
1:50:16
Speaker 15: doesn't bring him back.
1:50:17
Speaker 1: As things currently stand, he is on an administrative leave.
1:50:20
Speaker 16: Correct, all right, But rc IC did get all hanked
1:50:24
Speaker 16: off and go rescind his access. So even though he's
1:50:28
Speaker 16: on administrative leave, he has no access.
1:50:30
Speaker 1: He's had a security credentials pulled.
1:50:32
Speaker 15: Yes, fair enough.
1:50:34
Speaker 1: Well, what an interesting mixed bag is? Shenanigan Signal ninety nine, Carol,
1:50:37
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to having you on and I
1:50:38
Speaker 1: appreciate your bringing all of this to our attention. Quite
1:50:41
Speaker 1: often you're the only one that does and don't listen
1:50:45
Speaker 1: to the trolls, especially my friends on the Cincinni Police Department.
1:50:48
Speaker 1: We have your back, We love you dearly. Just ignore them.
1:50:51
Speaker 1: They do not represent the majority of the population, most
1:50:54
Speaker 1: of the majority who appreciates you and would love to
1:50:57
Speaker 1: have you well in the neighborhood. It just nice if
1:51:00
Speaker 1: you didn't have to work Trump quadruple overtime to provide
1:51:03
Speaker 1: that service there in the neighborhood. We'll hope they get
1:51:06
Speaker 1: things squared away. Carolyn, Thank you so much for your
1:51:08
Speaker 1: time today, and you're tireless work throughout the week looking
1:51:10
Speaker 1: out for everybody's best benefit. Thanks again. We'll have you
1:51:13
Speaker 1: back real soon and maybe we'll do an open line.
1:51:15
Speaker 15: Yeah, we'll have people call in. It'll be a hoot.
1:51:18
Speaker 1: Carolyn's idea. So if you're interested in calling in and
1:51:20
Speaker 1: asking her questions, maybe we'll do that next time. And
1:51:23
Speaker 1: that's up the station, Ay thirty one on a Thursday,
1:51:27
Speaker 1: Friday Eve and tgif at is this moment in time
1:51:29
Speaker 1: on this day of the week, Because I love talking
1:51:31
Speaker 1: to iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliffe, always fascinating and interesting
1:51:35
Speaker 1: and sometimes quite frightening feeling my feelings about air travel
1:51:39
Speaker 1: generally speaking. No, I'm not afraid of flying. I'm just
1:51:41
Speaker 1: afraid of all the mixed bag crap that goes along
1:51:43
Speaker 1: with a Welcome back, Jay Ralep, It's great to have
1:51:46
Speaker 1: you on, sir, good morning.
1:51:48
Speaker 17: It's not my intention, though, to shy anyone away from
1:51:50
Speaker 17: the great world of aviation.
1:51:52
Speaker 1: I know that you're a big fan of flying. You
1:51:54
Speaker 1: fly all the time in spite of the news that
1:51:55
Speaker 1: you bring to our attention. Now, question, Jay ratleif of
1:51:58
Speaker 1: sort of tongue of my cheek question, I know they
1:52:01
Speaker 1: throw I think frozen turkeys and foul into airline jets
1:52:06
Speaker 1: in order to figure out whether they can withstand and
1:52:08
Speaker 1: impact with well birds out in the world. We know
1:52:10
Speaker 1: it's happened before and it has brought down airlines. But
1:52:13
Speaker 1: they at least test the engines for that. Do they
1:52:15
Speaker 1: throw cadavers into engines, Jay Ratliffe.
1:52:18
Speaker 5: They do not.
1:52:19
Speaker 17: They do not, They do not.
1:52:21
Speaker 1: How is it that someone ended up on the tarmac
1:52:24
Speaker 1: and got sucked into an engine? That is wild?
1:52:27
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, right now, we got a lot of questions. Yeah,
1:52:31
Speaker 17: we have the answer, don't have the answers we need.
1:52:33
Speaker 17: But there's in Denver, what thirty six miles a perimeter fence,
1:52:37
Speaker 17: so there's a lot and one of the things in
1:52:41
Speaker 17: the remote area of the airport, somebody can jump the fence,
1:52:45
Speaker 17: which apparently did have the barbed wire on top, and
1:52:48
Speaker 17: within two minutes they're you know, crossing an active runway
1:52:52
Speaker 17: at night at a time when a frontier flight is
1:52:55
Speaker 17: taking off, and then of course they end up dying
1:52:58
Speaker 17: in the process. And the curious thing to me on
1:53:02
Speaker 17: all of this was immediately they came out and said
1:53:05
Speaker 17: based on the forensic evidence, they were able to determine
1:53:08
Speaker 17: this was a suicide. And of course you don't know
1:53:12
Speaker 17: what the mental state of a lot of people could
1:53:14
Speaker 17: be at a specific time. And I was just really
1:53:18
Speaker 17: surprised that, excuse me, that was the conclusion that fast,
1:53:22
Speaker 17: because you know, sometimes if you're under the influence of something,
1:53:25
Speaker 17: you may have no clue where in the world you are.
1:53:29
Speaker 17: But yeah, just a sad situation. And I feel for
1:53:31
Speaker 17: the family of the one that was killed. Certainly the
1:53:35
Speaker 17: pilots because I mean, you listen to the audio of
1:53:38
Speaker 17: them as they were taking off and at the moment
1:53:41
Speaker 17: they saw someone and then at the moment they notified
1:53:44
Speaker 17: the air traffic control. And the other thing that really
1:53:47
Speaker 17: surprised me on that was the airport seemed to close
1:53:51
Speaker 17: that runway as they should have, but still allowed other
1:53:54
Speaker 17: aircraft to take off in land at the airport. And
1:53:56
Speaker 17: I was surprised because typically when you have a medical situation,
1:54:02
Speaker 17: and we certainly had it here because the plane started
1:54:04
Speaker 17: to fill with smoke and they did an emergency evacuation
1:54:06
Speaker 17: on the runway, you'll close the airport. That means all
1:54:10
Speaker 17: the aircraft that are taxing stop. Everybody stops where you're at,
1:54:14
Speaker 17: so that the emergency vehicles can get to the area
1:54:17
Speaker 17: they need to get at without pausing at the runways
1:54:20
Speaker 17: and getting permission to cross. And you know the delays
1:54:23
Speaker 17: that are encountered with that kind of a thing. So
1:54:26
Speaker 17: you know, eventually maybe it was closed, but you know,
1:54:30
Speaker 17: the fire crews got there, people were coming down the
1:54:34
Speaker 17: you know the emergency slides. Of course, we had the
1:54:37
Speaker 17: group with their large can carry bags. You know, forget
1:54:40
Speaker 17: the fact that it's filling with smoke with a fully
1:54:43
Speaker 17: fueled aircraft with twenty two pounds of fuel on it.
1:54:47
Speaker 17: Let's cload the process so that we can make sure
1:54:49
Speaker 17: we collect all of our belongings, because you know, they're
1:54:52
Speaker 17: the most important thing in our world.
1:54:53
Speaker 1: So don't be that guy, Lord Almighty, I can understand
1:54:57
Speaker 1: why this does not happen. Who in the hell would
1:54:59
Speaker 1: bother climbing a fence walk out of the tarmac anyway,
1:55:01
Speaker 1: except somebody who maybe has lost their faculties or perhaps
1:55:06
Speaker 1: big warning here, maybe somebody who's there to intentionally do
1:55:09
Speaker 1: nefarious acts on the airport. That's what worries me. Jay.
1:55:14
Speaker 17: We've talked about stowaways how many times over the years,
1:55:17
Speaker 17: and these are people that have been able to jump
1:55:20
Speaker 17: a fence, get across the airport grounds, approaching aircraft totally unseen,
1:55:26
Speaker 17: and they crawl up into the wheel well of the
1:55:28
Speaker 17: aircraft and attempt to stow away to wherever they're trying
1:55:31
Speaker 17: to get to. And invariably eighty percent of those.
1:55:35
Speaker 1: People die in the front hypothermia, loss of oxygen.
1:55:39
Speaker 17: Or there's not enough. So I mean, it just it
1:55:42
Speaker 17: really gets horrific. But the sad situation is we see
1:55:47
Speaker 17: that and the thought is, well, wait a minute, this
1:55:49
Speaker 17: is somebody just trying to stow away. What have been
1:55:51
Speaker 17: somebody that was there to put something on the aircraft
1:55:54
Speaker 17: and then leave undetected. And that's why we really need
1:55:59
Speaker 17: to upgrade a lot of areas. The security that we
1:56:01
Speaker 17: have on the perimeters of the airport. Now, there's a
1:56:04
Speaker 17: lot of stuff that goes on out there. I won't
1:56:06
Speaker 17: talk about, but I can't tell you that we can
1:56:08
Speaker 17: do a better job at trying to get the security upgraded.
1:56:12
Speaker 17: And I really thought a number of years ago when
1:56:15
Speaker 17: we had the Alaska Airlines employees steal a plane and
1:56:18
Speaker 17: taxi that plane and then take off without being stopped,
1:56:22
Speaker 17: that that would be the wake up call for people
1:56:24
Speaker 17: to say, you know what, we need to do something
1:56:27
Speaker 17: here so that we can prevent this. Because Brian, we're
1:56:29
Speaker 17: spending all this money inside the airport on security, and
1:56:32
Speaker 17: I'm glad we aned, but doesn't stop anybody who obviously
1:56:36
Speaker 17: can walk across the tarmac of many airports. We have
1:56:39
Speaker 17: airplanes all over the country and access an aircraft, taxi
1:56:43
Speaker 17: that aircraft and then take off before we have the
1:56:46
Speaker 17: opportunity for a military intercept if they're trying to crash
1:56:50
Speaker 17: into a target. So I don't know, there's just a
1:56:53
Speaker 17: lot of things here that are settling, and sometimes we
1:56:57
Speaker 17: tend to focus on other areas versus what I think
1:57:01
Speaker 17: is the most important area. And yeah, so we'll see
1:57:04
Speaker 17: where things go.
1:57:04
Speaker 1: We will do that. We got more topics over with Jay.
1:57:07
Speaker 1: The metronome is ticking for some reason. I'm not quite
1:57:09
Speaker 1: sure where that's coming from. But more we see the
1:57:11
Speaker 1: talk station. Have you ever been in a cockpit before?
1:57:14
Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffaz, He's iHeartMedia aviation expert. We are blessed with
1:57:17
Speaker 1: his presence every week Thursday morning eight thirty, the close
1:57:20
Speaker 1: of the show and pivoting over great topics. You have
1:57:22
Speaker 1: this morning humanoid let's put the Southwest Airlines flight being delayed,
1:57:28
Speaker 1: Rat Love.
1:57:29
Speaker 17: They had a humanoid robot that was a past you're
1:57:33
Speaker 17: flying and it was yeah, yeah, this this little robot
1:57:36
Speaker 17: was giving kids high five in the gate area and
1:57:39
Speaker 17: everybody was positive to take pictures. And they had a
1:57:43
Speaker 17: seat that eventually was going to be for this contraption
1:57:46
Speaker 17: and uh yeah. So the preparing to board the Southwest
1:57:49
Speaker 17: flight when somebody comes up and says, what.
1:57:52
Speaker 1: Power is this particular anticipating my question is like, is
1:57:56
Speaker 1: this looking am ion battery?
1:57:58
Speaker 17: Let's see m battery? So there's a get time out here.
1:58:02
Speaker 17: So they spend an hour trying to figure out if
1:58:05
Speaker 17: they should allow this thing with the sizeable lithium battery
1:58:09
Speaker 17: that it had, And what ended up happening was they
1:58:13
Speaker 17: allowed it to board. They took the battery out, and
1:58:15
Speaker 17: that was the only way that it could board or fly.
1:58:17
Speaker 17: But yeah, so it was really cool until somebody asked
1:58:22
Speaker 17: that question and then everything stopped and yeah, delayed the
1:58:26
Speaker 17: flight about an hour. And I think in the thirty
1:58:30
Speaker 17: five years I've been doing this, Brian, that's probably my
1:58:33
Speaker 17: first robot delay.
1:58:35
Speaker 1: It has to be you've talked about. They have those
1:58:40
Speaker 1: fire bags on the airplane, so if your phone were
1:58:42
Speaker 1: to catch fire, or your vape or whatever else is
1:58:44
Speaker 1: a lithium ion battery, at least it'll fit inside the
1:58:47
Speaker 1: bag and hopefully result in fire containment. I doubt you
1:58:50
Speaker 1: can fit a humanoid sized robot into a bag.
1:58:53
Speaker 17: Well, unless you could get somehow the battery off of
1:58:56
Speaker 17: it's on fire, I doubt that's going to happen. But yeah, Yeah,
1:58:59
Speaker 17: or Flight have turned into firefighters in addition to everything
1:59:05
Speaker 17: else that they do.
1:59:05
Speaker 1: At least risk managers, you better believe it.
1:59:09
Speaker 17: And one of the things that they deal with is
1:59:11
Speaker 17: airlines are constantly telling us, please keep those power charging
1:59:15
Speaker 17: devices underneath the seat in front of you, so that
1:59:18
Speaker 17: if they do start to overheat, you can immediately notify
1:59:22
Speaker 17: a flight attendant who can do what they need to do.
1:59:24
Speaker 17: It's also the reason that if your computer or phone
1:59:27
Speaker 17: or something gets stuck into a seat and they cannot
1:59:31
Speaker 17: retrieve it, they immediately declare an emergency land that airplane fast,
1:59:36
Speaker 17: because if it were to overheat at that moment where
1:59:39
Speaker 17: they're unable to reach it and obviously put it in
1:59:42
Speaker 17: a fire suppression, then you're talking about something that could
1:59:45
Speaker 17: actually cause an onboard fire. So we've seen many flights
1:59:48
Speaker 17: over the last couple of years that have had a
1:59:51
Speaker 17: device that somebody drops, accidentally gets stuck into a seat,
1:59:55
Speaker 17: they can't get it out, and they call make an
1:59:58
Speaker 17: emergency request to and they land that airplane so mechanics
2:00:01
Speaker 17: can get there and retrieve that fearing that of course
2:00:04
Speaker 17: it might overheat, catch on fire and catch the seat
2:00:06
Speaker 17: on fire and then create all kinds of problems.
2:00:10
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff, crazy stuff.
2:00:12
Speaker 2: You know.
2:00:12
Speaker 1: That's there's so many of those devices out there, and
2:00:16
Speaker 1: you know, every single person on an airplane has one
2:00:18
Speaker 1: these days. I'm just surprised that there aren't more fires
2:00:21
Speaker 1: than we hear about it. On the airplane.
2:00:23
Speaker 17: Well, I'm just thankful they're there for the most part,
2:00:26
Speaker 17: being kept out of the carry on luggage or they,
2:00:28
Speaker 17: excuse me, the check luggage, because especially at the gate
2:00:32
Speaker 17: area where they're taking these bags from us at the
2:00:35
Speaker 17: gate area and checking them, saying you don't have anything
2:00:39
Speaker 17: in here, you know, blah blah blah, no, no, no,
2:00:40
Speaker 17: we're fine, and off it goes. And how many times
2:00:43
Speaker 17: in the rush of the moment, might you forget put
2:00:46
Speaker 17: my phone, or put my laptop, or put something in
2:00:48
Speaker 17: my carry on luggage that's now underneath the aircraft, which
2:00:52
Speaker 17: could of course overheat. And we do have fire suppression
2:00:55
Speaker 17: systems in the cargo area, thank god for that. That's
2:00:59
Speaker 17: an nt SB recommendation from a whole bunch of years ago,
2:01:03
Speaker 17: so that we can try to try any sort of
2:01:06
Speaker 17: a fire. But the lithium matteries burned so hot the
2:01:10
Speaker 17: fire suppression systems, I won't say are ineffective, but they
2:01:14
Speaker 17: certainly don't do the job that we'd like them to
2:01:16
Speaker 17: do given the intensity of that heat.
2:01:18
Speaker 1: Isn't that the truth? A couple of stories about Spirit Airlines,
2:01:21
Speaker 1: including a positive thing from Papa John's relating to Spirit
2:01:24
Speaker 1: That more with Jay Ratliff coming top Next, Don't Go
2:01:26
Speaker 1: Away Rhino Shield great product running shield If your home deck,
2:01:29
Speaker 1: commercial building needs a new pain or you just want
2:01:32
Speaker 1: to update your curb appeal eight forty nine. If you do,
2:01:35
Speaker 1: you have k CD Talk Station by Thomas with Jay Ratliff.
2:01:39
Speaker 1: I heard be the AVAH expert and fellow motorcycle rider.
2:01:43
Speaker 1: I saw your post on Facebook the other day.
2:01:44
Speaker 6: Jay.
2:01:45
Speaker 1: I'm glad to know you'd ride motorcycles. Maybe someday if
2:01:47
Speaker 1: you and I are in the same neighborhood with our bikes,
2:01:48
Speaker 1: we can get a ride together. That'd be really cool
2:01:50
Speaker 1: that it be enjoyable.
2:01:52
Speaker 17: My Hurley is my stress reliever after a day of
2:01:55
Speaker 17: flipping stocks and talking aviation. So yeah, it gets me
2:01:59
Speaker 17: away from everything and gets me unplugged.
2:02:01
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I could use a fellow rider. All the
2:02:04
Speaker 1: guys that used to ride with moved out of town
2:02:06
Speaker 1: over the years, so I find myself wanting anyway. Pivoting
2:02:09
Speaker 1: over looks like Papa John stepping up to the plate
2:02:12
Speaker 1: involving Spirit Airlines. How does this work? But not everything
2:02:15
Speaker 1: going on swimmingly with Spirit Airlines folding sad news for airfares.
2:02:19
Speaker 1: But let's start with the good news.
2:02:21
Speaker 17: Well, Papa John's has come out with a promotion saying, look,
2:02:25
Speaker 17: all of you have to have all those freaking flyer
2:02:27
Speaker 17: miles on Spirit. Obviously they're not good for anything, so
2:02:31
Speaker 17: prove to us you've got an account, come in, We'll
2:02:33
Speaker 17: give you a free pizza for your freaking flyer miles.
2:02:35
Speaker 17: So it's just they're trying to have some fun with it.
2:02:38
Speaker 17: It's great publicity. I mean, it's a great story, but
2:02:41
Speaker 17: you know it's it's nice because you could and of
2:02:44
Speaker 17: course Jet Blue also at a thing where they said, look,
2:02:47
Speaker 17: if you can prove you were a displaced Spirit passenger, yeah,
2:02:51
Speaker 17: show us your itinery and for ninety nine bucks will
2:02:53
Speaker 17: get you out of where you're going back back home.
2:02:57
Speaker 17: So you know, we're still we're continuing to see some
2:03:00
Speaker 17: really good field stories human interest regards to the aftermath
2:03:05
Speaker 17: absolutely where you know, hats off to Jet Blue, of
2:03:08
Speaker 17: course I will quickly say thank you. And yes, it
2:03:11
Speaker 17: is May, which is the second slowest travel month of
2:03:14
Speaker 17: the year, which means most of your airplanes are only
2:03:15
Speaker 17: about half full. So it's not like you're booting off
2:03:19
Speaker 17: the big revenue people, but you know you're coming to
2:03:22
Speaker 17: the to the aid of people that are strained it
2:03:24
Speaker 17: And I like that. And yes, I love the Papa
2:03:25
Speaker 17: John story where you can actually convert miles into pizza.
2:03:29
Speaker 1: Why not not good for anything else? Anyway, I love it. Well,
2:03:33
Speaker 1: that's a good feel good story. And another feel good
2:03:35
Speaker 1: stories the other industry personnel stepping up and you know,
2:03:37
Speaker 1: offering condolences and expressions of concern and care and I
2:03:40
Speaker 1: get all that, and that's wonderful. Sadly, apparently the airline
2:03:44
Speaker 1: the airlines themselves are not joining in the feel good celebration.
2:03:48
Speaker 1: Apparently fairs have gone up.
2:03:50
Speaker 17: Oh they feel good. Yeah, behind closed doors, they're doing
2:03:54
Speaker 17: a snoopy dance because we've already seen in a lot
2:03:57
Speaker 17: of competing markets that the fairs of almost doubled in
2:04:01
Speaker 17: some markets. We're seeing this out of Minneapolis. In some
2:04:04
Speaker 17: markets that were that were uh Spirit airline routes that
2:04:09
Speaker 17: the the now that Spirit is gone, the competitors have
2:04:12
Speaker 17: increased their their fares considerably because that competition from that
2:04:16
Speaker 17: specific carrier is no longer there. And that's one of
2:04:20
Speaker 17: the things you deal with. When you're talking about UH
2:04:23
Speaker 17: low cost carriers, they help keep UH fares lower. And sadly,
2:04:27
Speaker 17: because Spirit is no longer around, the fares in the
2:04:31
Speaker 17: markets that they had are going to go up as
2:04:34
Speaker 17: a result. And it's unfortunate. And that's why if you
2:04:37
Speaker 17: did see an American United or see another low cost
2:04:40
Speaker 17: carrier gobbled up by by a larger carrier. And we
2:04:43
Speaker 17: started to see a further reduction in the number of
2:04:46
Speaker 17: airlines flying Bran, you know, fewer seats, the affairs are
2:04:49
Speaker 17: going to go up. And you know, anytime you have
2:04:52
Speaker 17: airlines that overlap, like when I was with Republic Airlines
2:04:56
Speaker 17: when Northwest absorbed US, there was a lot of overlapping
2:05:00
Speaker 17: routes and they flew to the same cities and combined,
2:05:03
Speaker 17: they weren't going to have, you know, nine flights today
2:05:06
Speaker 17: going into Lax they might have five or four. So
2:05:09
Speaker 17: you see a reduction in seats. And anytime that happens
2:05:12
Speaker 17: supplying demand, the number, the higher the price. And sadly,
2:05:17
Speaker 17: that's what we're seeing now. And we're not done with
2:05:20
Speaker 17: this airline consolidation thing. I think we're going to see
2:05:23
Speaker 17: some merger candidates may roll out by the end of
2:05:26
Speaker 17: this year. I think some low cost carriers could be involved.
2:05:30
Speaker 17: It will allow them to strengthen up their balance sheet
2:05:33
Speaker 17: and become stronger. But sadly, it's going to take seats
2:05:36
Speaker 17: away from us. And you know, we're not at a
2:05:38
Speaker 17: point where seeing airlines created coming off the sidelines and starting,
2:05:42
Speaker 17: so as a result, we're stuck with what we've got,
2:05:44
Speaker 17: and I think that number is going to only going
2:05:47
Speaker 17: to continue.
2:05:47
Speaker 1: To drop drop, along with the price of fuel going up. Anyway,
2:05:51
Speaker 1: let's stop. Uh, we could touch on a couple more dobics,
2:05:54
Speaker 1: sadly out of time, and I always like to close
2:05:56
Speaker 1: up with a hub delays. How's it looking out there
2:05:58
Speaker 1: for air travel?
2:05:58
Speaker 17: Jay Brandt, looks it's like Chicago, excuse me, no, Boston
2:06:02
Speaker 17: and New York or the two airports with weather related
2:06:04
Speaker 17: delays we're seeing they could be minimal other than Boston.
2:06:08
Speaker 17: So I mean, if you picked today, probably one of
2:06:10
Speaker 17: the better travel days of the week that we've had.
2:06:12
Speaker 17: And if yeah, so well off to a good start
2:06:14
Speaker 17: except for the those two problem children.
2:06:17
Speaker 1: Jay Radcliffe, I look forward to our future motorcycle ride.
2:06:19
Speaker 1: I will look forward to next Thursday and another edition
2:06:21
Speaker 1: of this wonderful segment. Enjoy your week, my friend, and
2:06:24
Speaker 1: as always end on best of health and love to
2:06:26
Speaker 1: you and your
