Speaker 1: Seven oh five coming up on seven oh six five
0:17
Speaker 1: cases Copters. It's a spicy meme page for cops, firefighters,
0:21
Speaker 1: medics and dispatchers, but also a page where we throw
0:24
Speaker 1: light on the shady pineapple going on in the area.
0:27
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the fifty five krs Morning Shore. That
0:29
Speaker 1: site is on Facebook signal ninety nine. A lot of
0:33
Speaker 1: people following you signal ninety nine, thirty four thousand. I
0:35
Speaker 1: wish I had numbers like that. It's good to have
0:37
Speaker 1: you back on the program. I just want to thank
0:39
Speaker 1: you on behalf of all the all the residents in
0:41
Speaker 1: the greater Cincinnati area for the hard work that you
0:43
Speaker 1: and your team do.
0:45
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Good morning, Brian. How are you.
0:49
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. My daughter's getting married on Saturday,
0:51
Speaker 1: putting a smile on my face. Taking tomorrow off Gary
0:53
Speaker 1: Jeff Walker is going to cover for me, so I
0:55
Speaker 1: can well do my part in doing whatever else is
0:58
Speaker 1: needed to get the wedding off the ground in the rain.
1:00
Speaker 1: But I'm very happy about the wedding, so overall great
1:03
Speaker 1: mood in spite of the fact that it's going to
1:04
Speaker 1: be raining tomorrow or Saturday. So whatever my daughter isn't worried.
1:08
Speaker 1: That's all about Thank you rain for you get the
1:12
Speaker 1: whole group, all thirty four thousand of your followers over
1:15
Speaker 1: on Facebook to pray for decent weather at least for
1:18
Speaker 1: the wedding ceremony. Anyway, Signal ninety nine. It's been at
1:21
Speaker 1: the top of our news and we've got a lot
1:22
Speaker 1: to talk about a lot of the stories that you broke,
1:24
Speaker 1: and one of the stories you broke that I wasn't
1:26
Speaker 1: even aware of. Maybe that's me just not paying close
1:29
Speaker 1: enough attention to what's going on Batavia. But we find
1:31
Speaker 1: out that the residents of the village of Betavior are
1:33
Speaker 1: going to be able to vote on whether to dissolve
1:35
Speaker 1: the village. And you made a rather startling announcement on
1:39
Speaker 1: Facebook or on Facebook the other day mentioning that the uh,
1:42
Speaker 1: I guess that was it the trustees of the village
1:45
Speaker 1: that passed this ordinance brought up on an emergency basis
1:48
Speaker 1: to pay all non elected employees of the village a
1:52
Speaker 1: full year's salary and kind of raised your eyebrow for
1:55
Speaker 1: a variety of reasons. First off, Kin, do you know why,
1:59
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious, what's the basis for the
2:02
Speaker 1: disillusion or dissolving the city of Batavia. Should the residents
2:05
Speaker 1: vote for it. What's the impetus behind that?
2:09
Speaker 2: Well, taking care of your employees is never a bad
2:14
Speaker 2: say doing it in secret?
2:17
Speaker 1: Well no, no, yeah, But before we get to that,
2:20
Speaker 1: and that's the you know, the red flag issue. Why
2:23
Speaker 1: are they considering dissolving the village notwiderstanding, whatever happens the employees.
2:28
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well, so the backstory on that is, oh,
2:34
Speaker 2: it's it's massive. So they had Ken Geyson there was
2:37
Speaker 2: doing these huge developments, making tax abatements, making decisions. It
2:41
Speaker 2: can affect the airport, it can affect this, it can
2:44
Speaker 2: affect the schools the village did. Residents didn't want it,
2:50
Speaker 2: and they repeatedly went to counsel and we don't want this.
2:54
Speaker 2: You know, growth is one thing, but this is ridiculous
2:57
Speaker 2: and it's going to impact all of this. We don't
3:00
Speaker 2: want it. And they pretty much told the citizens, we
3:03
Speaker 2: don't really care what you want, and they did. They
3:06
Speaker 2: voted how they wanted, and they kept back in it
3:10
Speaker 2: and kept back in it, and they finally got to
3:13
Speaker 2: the point where they were going to have to let
3:15
Speaker 2: Ken guys go. So he retired, but he wasn't the
3:20
Speaker 2: only one involved. You know, it comes down to this.
3:23
Speaker 2: When you're elected, you're a voice for your constituent. It
3:27
Speaker 2: doesn't matter how you feel about something. You represent the
3:32
Speaker 2: people that voted for you.
3:33
Speaker 1: Sounds like a parallel can be drawn between the City
3:35
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati what they did to the Hyde Park voters
3:37
Speaker 1: in terms of that development project, ignoring the will of
3:40
Speaker 1: the constituents and moving in their own direction, only to
3:42
Speaker 1: be shot down by that ballot initiative. So we have
3:44
Speaker 1: a parallel on that one, correct, So.
3:48
Speaker 2: They said, you know what, okay, you know, mess around,
3:52
Speaker 2: find out and they started collecting signatures to get it
3:58
Speaker 2: on the ballot to dissolve the village.
4:00
Speaker 1: Fright, that's the back to population density development all, Okay,
4:04
Speaker 1: I get it all, leading us to your revelation on
4:08
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine Facebook page that the village emergency motion,
4:14
Speaker 1: this petition of this proposition to pay the non elected
4:17
Speaker 1: employees of the village a full year's salary. Now, let's
4:20
Speaker 1: pivot over to that because it came out of nowhere apparently.
4:25
Speaker 2: Well, we knew about it weeks ago, which is why
4:28
Speaker 2: we put the public records request in. So when I
4:32
Speaker 2: got say email back a couple of days ago from
4:36
Speaker 2: the village administrator. It said, Carolyn, attached to the document
4:41
Speaker 2: of the ordinance that was passed at the council meeting
4:44
Speaker 2: last night, there were no prior records that matched your requests, Chick.
4:52
Speaker 2: So I've done a records request and then magically, out
4:56
Speaker 2: of nowhere, this emergency resolution appears. Do pass the severance package.
5:02
Speaker 2: So you know, that's shady, Brian, that's shady. That's not
5:07
Speaker 2: the first time Betavians done it. You know, they know
5:10
Speaker 2: that if they talk on the phone, or they talk
5:12
Speaker 2: in person, or they have secret, quiet little meetings and
5:15
Speaker 2: conversations and they don't text or email, you know, or
5:20
Speaker 2: send out documentation. But I don't believe for a second
5:24
Speaker 2: that there aren't prior records. But I but I can't
5:27
Speaker 2: prove it either. So well, okay, here we are.
5:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, how could there not be prior records? There's some
5:34
Speaker 1: sort of discussion about this. How does one bring in
5:37
Speaker 1: emergency motion that has the level of detail that this
5:40
Speaker 1: ordinance fifteen seventy three Dash twenty six has. There head
5:43
Speaker 1: to have been drafts of it at minimum. I mean,
5:47
Speaker 1: you know, lawyers go through multiple drafts. They have counsel
5:49
Speaker 1: look at these. There have to be communications between the
5:52
Speaker 1: you know, the lawyers and the board members. I suppose,
5:56
Speaker 1: you know, communications between the various members about whether or
5:58
Speaker 1: not they way, whose ideal is it to advance this
6:00
Speaker 1: in the first place. There's got to be something. This
6:03
Speaker 1: reminds me a gang the gang of five, gang of
6:05
Speaker 1: five stuff, drawing another parallel to the city of Cincinnati.
6:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty shady, which is you know, which
6:11
Speaker 2: is why we blew it up. So I have never
6:16
Speaker 2: Signal ninety nine. We have never waited until this last
6:20
Speaker 2: week about whether the village should dissolve or not. We've
6:23
Speaker 2: always put the information out there and let the citizen
6:26
Speaker 2: because I don't live in Batavia, None of us do.
6:30
Speaker 2: None of us live in Batavia, so you know, we
6:33
Speaker 2: figure that's up to them to decide. They're the citizens
6:36
Speaker 2: that live there. And Behavia is a quaint, cute little village. However,
6:42
Speaker 2: it's severely mismanaged, and it has been for years, you know,
6:48
Speaker 2: for years, so people are tired of it. So this
6:51
Speaker 2: is the first time we said, you know, maybe it's
6:54
Speaker 2: not such a bad idea that they dissolve this. This
6:56
Speaker 2: is how they're going to play with no transparent and
7:00
Speaker 2: see and quiet little emergency meetings to pass this and
7:05
Speaker 2: no input from the public. I mean the taxpayers are
7:07
Speaker 2: going to pay for this, right, well, the taxpayers should
7:12
Speaker 2: have had to say absolutely.
7:15
Speaker 1: And I mean I think this is and I know
7:18
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great thing. Quite often going
7:20
Speaker 1: back to the City of Cincinnati when I'm talking about that,
7:22
Speaker 1: and I think the listening audience obviously is beyond the
7:26
Speaker 1: limits of the City of Cincinnati. But it's an issue
7:28
Speaker 1: of good governance. It's an issue that you know, it's
7:31
Speaker 1: reflective of the broader problem with government generally speaking, not
7:34
Speaker 1: representing the will of the people that sent them to office.
7:38
Speaker 1: So I think it's an important illustration. Again, we've got
7:40
Speaker 1: a couple of parallels to be drawn between what happened
7:42
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinna, what's going on Batavia. Maybe it's happening
7:45
Speaker 1: in other listeners' own areas, townships or villages or whatever
7:49
Speaker 1: governing body they have and that they that they live in.
7:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, you know, when I lost my job last year,
7:55
Speaker 2: when they restructured and eliminated my position, I got a
7:59
Speaker 2: two week separate package, right, I know, you know, it's
8:03
Speaker 2: pretty typical to get you know, a three month or
8:06
Speaker 2: a month or you know, a year is very very generous.
8:11
Speaker 2: I know that. I believe Amelia did that when they dissolved.
8:16
Speaker 2: But it doesn't have to be done quietly behind closed
8:20
Speaker 2: doors and sneak it through, right, but let the public
8:23
Speaker 2: way in.
8:24
Speaker 1: Let the public way and right. One of them can
8:26
Speaker 1: raise their hand and say, wait a second, how can
8:28
Speaker 1: the the severance package is so large? Like you, if
8:31
Speaker 1: you remember I lived in the village, you can say,
8:33
Speaker 1: I listen, I got canned the other year last year
8:35
Speaker 1: and I only got two weeks. Do you how do you?
8:38
Speaker 1: You know, how do you convince me that the taxpayer
8:40
Speaker 1: dollars are worth it to spend on a full year
8:43
Speaker 1: of severance. Maybe they could answer the question. Maybe you
8:46
Speaker 1: would have satisfied the village residents like okay, yeah that's
8:48
Speaker 1: fair or not. But if you don't have a discussion
8:51
Speaker 1: about it in public, then you're never going to have
8:53
Speaker 1: the questions answered.
8:55
Speaker 2: And to be honest with you, I mean, I've been
8:57
Speaker 2: a trustee before. You can look into what they have
9:00
Speaker 2: to say and then you can vote accordingly anyway, But
9:05
Speaker 2: at least she let them have a say, you know,
9:07
Speaker 2: maybe they change your opinion, maybe they don't, but holy cow,
9:12
Speaker 2: it's so transparent though.
9:14
Speaker 1: Well, they may have inadvertently served the dissolution of the
9:18
Speaker 1: village of a Tavia voters, because this is just another
9:21
Speaker 1: illustration of them doing something under cloak of darkness that
9:25
Speaker 1: make fly in the face of the voters. So they'll
9:27
Speaker 1: have their say in November. I've guess Signal ninety nine
9:29
Speaker 1: we got more to talk about, including oh, you were
9:32
Speaker 1: right and those on social media were wrong? Plus violence
9:35
Speaker 1: generally speaking, what in the hell's going on in Judge
9:37
Speaker 1: Bloom's courtroom or in the juvenile court system generally speaking?
9:41
Speaker 1: Plenty coming up with Signal ninety nine Deep talk Station
9:45
Speaker 1: six twenty here if you have KERCD talk station, a
9:48
Speaker 1: very happy Friday Eve to you, Signal ninety nine. Find
9:51
Speaker 1: her on Facebook, follow her like so many thousands of
9:53
Speaker 1: other people have, because she does not make up stories
9:56
Speaker 1: or they Signal ninety nine are collective. I should always
9:58
Speaker 1: try to point that out. You know, the figurehead is
10:01
Speaker 1: on the phone right now. We just call her Signal
10:03
Speaker 1: ninety nine, but just basically we'll call them whistleblowers behind
10:07
Speaker 1: the scenes in government generally speaking, police fire as well
10:10
Speaker 1: as you know city council also people filing an information
10:14
Speaker 1: from Batavia as well. But we do not make up
10:17
Speaker 1: stories on Signal ninety nine that would severely damage our
10:19
Speaker 1: credibility with our peeps. You had to say that the
10:21
Speaker 1: other day because you were accused of lying and being
10:24
Speaker 1: a racist. This was in connection with what you brought
10:27
Speaker 1: to the plate, which was records which verified that on
10:29
Speaker 1: Friday night, between Smail Park and Fountain Square, what was
10:33
Speaker 1: between two and three hundred individuals at least. Follow up
10:36
Speaker 1: reporting verified the number of juveniles that were running them up.
10:38
Speaker 1: Ken Kober talked about this on the show the other day,
10:41
Speaker 1: But you were right, and this is the kind of
10:44
Speaker 1: thing that was not reported in local news, which was
10:47
Speaker 1: where our allegations came from that you were lying. Oh,
10:50
Speaker 1: if this actually happened, it would be in local news reporting.
10:53
Speaker 1: No it wasn't. Fox nineteen ultimately followed up and confirmed
10:57
Speaker 1: what you had to say on the website a couple
10:59
Speaker 1: of days earlier. Signal ninety nine. Y reaction to that,
11:01
Speaker 1: and also your reaction to being accused of racism because
11:05
Speaker 1: you pointed out that these juveniles were running a mucket.
11:07
Speaker 1: No time did you even say anything about the color
11:09
Speaker 1: of their skin. And I don't even think anybody knows
11:11
Speaker 1: to this day what color the kids were.
11:15
Speaker 2: You know, Brian, I rarely speak to the race of anybody,
11:20
Speaker 2: and you know, I get hammered for that a lot,
11:23
Speaker 2: and they go, why don't you just say the race?
11:26
Speaker 2: And I say it, and I always say the same thing. Okay,
11:30
Speaker 2: you're making a point that most of the violent crime
11:33
Speaker 2: committed in Cincinnati are by members of the black community. However,
11:39
Speaker 2: the victims of the violent crime are majority of the
11:43
Speaker 2: black community. So I don't see the point in constantly
11:47
Speaker 2: bringing up race, or bringing up race at all. It
11:51
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. So if you can't figure out on Juneteenth
11:57
Speaker 2: the race of you know, two to three juveniles attacking
12:02
Speaker 2: people running around playing whack a mole with the cops,
12:06
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. You probably need to
12:08
Speaker 2: do some some brain teasers or something and figure it out.
12:12
Speaker 2: Maybe take a critical thinking class. I don't know, call
12:16
Speaker 2: me crazy, but but no, I know I am not racist.
12:20
Speaker 2: And for those that keep saying that I am, I
12:25
Speaker 2: don't really care what they think. People that know me
12:28
Speaker 2: know better, so, you know, but being called a liar
12:32
Speaker 2: and accused of making stuff up. Oh no, kitties got claws,
12:37
Speaker 2: and I'll come back every single day.
12:40
Speaker 1: Is because the only time you come out and point
12:42
Speaker 1: this kind of thing out is when you've got proof
12:44
Speaker 1: evidence backing up what you're claiming. In this particular case,
12:47
Speaker 1: you had the CAD screenshots with the computer electronic records
12:50
Speaker 1: of all the calls that came in reporting the well
12:53
Speaker 1: the criminal activity that these juveniles were engaged in. And
12:56
Speaker 1: it was a long series of CAD in CAD screenshots
12:59
Speaker 1: on this. How did you get those to of course
13:02
Speaker 1: document and support what you were talking about in your
13:04
Speaker 1: reporting on what happened?
13:07
Speaker 2: Well, the night that happens Friday night, my phone caught
13:11
Speaker 2: on fire, okay, and I was getting ready to go
13:13
Speaker 2: to bed, and I was like, okay, I need to
13:15
Speaker 2: get this out. So you know, I did the post
13:19
Speaker 2: and I logged. I immediately logged off and got ready
13:24
Speaker 2: to go to bed, and I continued to get officers
13:28
Speaker 2: reaching out. Officers, officers, officers, this is crazy. You should
13:32
Speaker 2: see it, and they're describing what's going on. And then
13:38
Speaker 2: then I did go to bed, and when I woke up,
13:42
Speaker 2: I had the CAB screenshots and that's only one cat
13:47
Speaker 2: By the way, that's only one CAD report. So every
13:52
Speaker 2: officer that worked at we're talking about thirty one total
13:56
Speaker 2: CPD units, as well as two drone units. They all
13:59
Speaker 2: have CAT. So when I woke up the next morning,
14:04
Speaker 2: I had the screenshots and I was like, okay, but
14:09
Speaker 2: I didn't have time to address it right away. So
14:11
Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, I'm going to write a little article
14:15
Speaker 2: and include these CAD screenshots. But I did want to.
14:18
Speaker 2: I redacted the name of a victim out that got
14:21
Speaker 2: attacked by a mob of thirty juveniles. And I'm calling
14:26
Speaker 2: it a mob because that's what they were. This was
14:28
Speaker 2: a wilding takeover. This was a wilding takeover, and they
14:33
Speaker 2: ran from Robling Bridge to Smell Park, to the tunnel
14:37
Speaker 2: under Fountain Square, to Government Square to Walnut. I mean,
14:41
Speaker 2: every time the police showed up, they would disperse and
14:46
Speaker 2: then they would regroup, so they were communicating. This was orchestrated.
14:50
Speaker 2: This wasn't just kids running around having a good time.
14:55
Speaker 2: This was orchestrated. It was organized. So every time the
15:01
Speaker 2: police would show up, they'd scatter, they'd go, they regrouped
15:03
Speaker 2: somewhere else. So you know, the CPD works tirelessly, including
15:11
Speaker 2: swat all the CBS, two district three units, three district
15:18
Speaker 2: two units, two drone units. They all worked together to
15:22
Speaker 2: try to keep most of the citizens as many as
15:25
Speaker 2: they could face from these mobs. So so yeah, I
15:31
Speaker 2: did write the article and I did post the screenshots
15:34
Speaker 2: of one cad. Excuse me, there are more cads if
15:40
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to get them, they can
15:43
Speaker 2: put in records requests for them. I know we're waiting
15:46
Speaker 2: on the drone footage because I had a bunch of
15:48
Speaker 2: officers tell me, you've got to get the drone footage. Oh,
15:51
Speaker 2: it's going to be off the hook. The only problem
15:55
Speaker 2: is they have to redact so much and drone footage,
16:01
Speaker 2: you know, if it flies over somebody's private residence, they
16:05
Speaker 2: have to redact that out if if you know, if
16:07
Speaker 2: it flies over you know, certain areas they have to
16:10
Speaker 2: REDI so they have things they have to do and
16:14
Speaker 2: that takes time. So I'll give the city credit for that.
16:17
Speaker 2: You know, they're not stalling it, it's just it takes
16:21
Speaker 2: time to do all those redactions and have a very large,
16:24
Speaker 2: large file.
16:26
Speaker 1: Well, given the what the police have alerted you to
16:28
Speaker 1: in terms of what's going to be revealed, in that
16:30
Speaker 1: I'm very anxious to see it myself, and I'm willing
16:33
Speaker 1: to wait for it for them to do the needed
16:34
Speaker 1: job for redaction so we can get a clear picture
16:37
Speaker 1: of what actually happened. And thanks to you, we know
16:40
Speaker 1: it actually happened. Signal ninety nine, don't go away, because
16:42
Speaker 1: this allows us to pivot over to how effective are
16:45
Speaker 1: the juvenile curfew centers, especially when you're dealing with a
16:48
Speaker 1: pack of juveniles. Deep talk station six thirty two if
16:52
Speaker 1: you have curreousy the talk station Brian Thomas was Signal
16:54
Speaker 1: ninety nine on Facebook at Signal ninety nine, fin follower
16:58
Speaker 1: get the inside scoop early and it's always accurate. Sticking
17:02
Speaker 1: with the juveniles running them up this past Friday in Juneteenth,
17:05
Speaker 1: two hundred and three hundred of them, you pointed out
17:07
Speaker 1: how they would disperse, regroup, disperse, regroup. Drones were following
17:10
Speaker 1: around about thirty police officers had to deal with this,
17:13
Speaker 1: and no one was taken to a juvenile curfew center
17:16
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that there were juveniles and
17:18
Speaker 1: this was outside of curfew. They were eligible to be
17:20
Speaker 1: picked up. But as we find out, Ken Kober was
17:23
Speaker 1: on the show yesterday saying, listen, we can't take him
17:25
Speaker 1: to the curfew centers because we cannot sacrifice the police officers.
17:29
Speaker 1: That's one less police officer on the scene when we
17:32
Speaker 1: are already wildly outnumbered by the juveniles we're trying to
17:36
Speaker 1: round up. So what's the point of the almost four
17:38
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars spend for curfew centers? But more fundamentally
17:41
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine and another thing he pointed out, we
17:44
Speaker 1: can't take him to the juvenile courts run by Carrie
17:48
Speaker 1: Bloom five call correctly, they won't take them, even juveniles
17:51
Speaker 1: with outstanding warrants. What's the point of having a juvenile
17:54
Speaker 1: court system if the whole system isn't designed to actually
17:57
Speaker 1: deal with the problem that the police are facing.
18:00
Speaker 2: Well, let me let me just preface with this. Do
18:05
Speaker 2: you remember last year when the city said, oh, we're
18:08
Speaker 2: going to give over five million dollars to the Public
18:11
Speaker 2: Safety Fund so CPD can you know, get control of
18:16
Speaker 2: the city. Do you recall that?
18:17
Speaker 1: Yes?
18:18
Speaker 2: Okay, So the first two weeks of January, what do
18:22
Speaker 2: you think the Vice mayor did was a bunch of
18:24
Speaker 2: that money?
18:26
Speaker 1: Oh, I can only imagine that part of it went the.
18:28
Speaker 2: Irish roll it moved it. He immediately moved it into
18:31
Speaker 2: curfew centers immediately, hundreds of thousands of dollars she took
18:35
Speaker 2: out of that fund and moved it to the curfew
18:38
Speaker 2: centers which were unused last year. I think two juveniles
18:42
Speaker 2: for curfew center last year four.
18:44
Speaker 1: I believe it was widely reported it was four. Yeah,
18:47
Speaker 1: that's a huge difference though signal.
18:50
Speaker 2: But here's the point. If an officer has to take
18:54
Speaker 2: the juvenile to the to the curfew center, that takes
18:59
Speaker 2: them off of the beat. It takes them out of calls,
19:02
Speaker 2: it takes them off the street if they're battling mobs
19:05
Speaker 2: downtown and they're stuck there as a babysitter waiting to
19:11
Speaker 2: see what's going to happen. Now. All last summer, Judge
19:16
Speaker 2: Terry Bloom of the Juvenile Court taught little classes all
19:21
Speaker 2: over libraries all over the city. If you're a juvenile
19:25
Speaker 2: or parents of a juvenile and you get taken to
19:27
Speaker 2: a curfew center, this is what you need to say,
19:31
Speaker 2: I'm not staying here, I don't want to stay here,
19:33
Speaker 2: and they can't make you okay. Or you could simply
19:37
Speaker 2: say i'm exercising my first Amendment right. The mayor put
19:41
Speaker 2: that little caveat in his curfew program last year. So
19:46
Speaker 2: if you know, if they say they're exercising their first
19:50
Speaker 2: Amendment right, or they get to the curfew center and
19:53
Speaker 2: they say, yeah, I'm not staying here, nobody can make
19:56
Speaker 2: them stay there.
20:00
Speaker 1: So even yeah, even in the absence of the logistical
20:05
Speaker 1: challenges like insufficient police officers on the scene of ongoing
20:09
Speaker 1: criminal activity or basically potentially criminal activity, uh, there's no
20:12
Speaker 1: point knowing center for an officer to take them there.
20:14
Speaker 1: For the reason you just point it out. You take
20:15
Speaker 1: them there, they say I want to leave, and they
20:17
Speaker 1: get to leave. So pointless gesture to drive them over
20:20
Speaker 1: to a curfew center, So.
20:22
Speaker 2: Pointless gesture to spend one hundreds of thousands of dollars
20:26
Speaker 2: on curfew centers that you know for a fact that
20:30
Speaker 2: the department's not going to use. They can't, they can't
20:35
Speaker 2: afford to be off the street, not answering calls tied up,
20:40
Speaker 2: which even those who aren't going to stay there anyway
20:43
Speaker 2: because they know they don't have to thanks.
20:45
Speaker 1: To carry Bloom, well, and thanks to carry Bloom apparently
20:48
Speaker 1: taking them to the juvenile court system itself won't do
20:50
Speaker 1: anything either. Let's stop, We'll bring her back to talk
20:52
Speaker 1: more about the problems with the juvenile courts, and of
20:55
Speaker 1: course Carry Bloom is up for real.
20:57
Speaker 2: The talk station.
21:00
Speaker 1: It's seven forty fifty five KRCD talk station Brian Thomas
21:02
Speaker 1: with signal ninety nine, full hour talking about the issues
21:05
Speaker 1: going on keeping with the juvenile courts and the judge
21:08
Speaker 1: Carrie Bloom, the administrative judge there. She is going to
21:11
Speaker 1: be up for reelection and fall, so we have an
21:14
Speaker 1: option to change the direction of the juvenile court system.
21:17
Speaker 1: And I just was thinking more and more about the
21:20
Speaker 1: I guess lectures or information how to work the curfew
21:25
Speaker 1: centers for juveniles that she was going around and explaining
21:29
Speaker 1: to you said parents as well as juveniles or anyone
21:32
Speaker 1: who was interested in information about this, but basically what
21:35
Speaker 1: you need to say to get out of the curfew center.
21:39
Speaker 1: Now she's speaking to parents during these meetings. I mean,
21:43
Speaker 1: I just I puzzle over that.
21:44
Speaker 2: Parents juvenile absolutely, So okay, So I have kind of
21:49
Speaker 2: a lot of information to download for you really quickly. Okay.
21:53
Speaker 2: So you know the mayor put out his amended curfew
21:59
Speaker 2: rule last year, and one of those was you couldn't
22:03
Speaker 2: CPD couldn't hassle um if they were exercising this first
22:06
Speaker 2: Amendment right. So Carrie Bloom spent last summer educating parents
22:11
Speaker 2: and juvenile that if they had contact with the city
22:16
Speaker 2: or police officers within the county that had curfew, what
22:19
Speaker 2: to say to get it to get out of a
22:22
Speaker 2: curfew violation. I just I want to say that. Okay,
22:29
Speaker 2: just recently April, a young man was arrested, a juvenile
22:35
Speaker 2: for aggravated robbery. Now he had a handgun. I'm being
22:41
Speaker 2: told that the rule in Judge Bloom's court is if
22:45
Speaker 2: they didn't fire the handgun, they don't go to twenty twenty. Yes,
22:51
Speaker 2: so you could beat people with a handgun, Okay, but
22:55
Speaker 2: if you but as long as you don't pull the
22:57
Speaker 2: trigger and fire it, you're not going to twenty twenty.
23:01
Speaker 2: So this this young man was placed on EMU. Within
23:06
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, he cut it off.
23:08
Speaker 1: Okay, electronic monitoring. Okay, electronic monitoring. I'm going to clarify
23:13
Speaker 1: that for myself and ELISTIA audience here.
23:14
Speaker 2: He just recently murdered somebody. Oh okay, this is what
23:19
Speaker 2: we're being told now, this is the rules of her court.
23:24
Speaker 2: She continually runs the court where we had a CPD
23:29
Speaker 2: officer just this year, say, I arrested a twelve year
23:32
Speaker 2: old for grand theft auto. He was out of twenty
23:38
Speaker 2: twenty before I even finished my paperwork. They just had
23:42
Speaker 2: his parents pick him up and he said, I just
23:45
Speaker 2: arrested him. Three days later, the same twelve year old
23:48
Speaker 2: steal in a car and he's already back out. He
23:52
Speaker 2: was there for less than an hour. So this is
23:56
Speaker 2: how she runs her court. Let's just let them all.
23:59
Speaker 2: You know, we can't give them records, we can't put
24:02
Speaker 2: them into the justice system. You know, it's got to
24:06
Speaker 2: be Kumbai, peace, love and granola. We can fix it
24:09
Speaker 2: all with, you know, therapy and EMU and counseling and
24:13
Speaker 2: medication or whatever. It doesn't work. And she just found
24:17
Speaker 2: out herself this weekend that it doesn't work because her
24:22
Speaker 2: car was stolen. In her car were her debit and
24:26
Speaker 2: credit cards. Okay, they racked up a bunch of money.
24:31
Speaker 2: They stole her car. They took it to Dayton. And
24:34
Speaker 2: here's the funniest thing of all. EPD knew where it
24:38
Speaker 2: was pinging right west of Dayton, and they did nothing initially,
24:47
Speaker 2: So it was tongue in cheats, a little bit of karma.
24:53
Speaker 2: You know, you keep letting all these kids out that
24:57
Speaker 2: keep stealing everybody else's cards. But when you at your
25:00
Speaker 2: car stool and you want it, you want your car
25:02
Speaker 2: recovered right now?
25:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe not.
25:03
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
25:04
Speaker 1: Prosecutorial discretion. It's like a cop deciding he's not going
25:08
Speaker 1: to give you a speeding ticket, going to give you
25:09
Speaker 1: a warning. Well, you know what, we don't have time
25:11
Speaker 1: to go up to date and to pick up Judge
25:13
Speaker 1: Bloom's car. We got too much going on here with
25:15
Speaker 1: a runaway juvenile violence in downtown, so sucks to be used.
25:18
Speaker 2: How about we're not even going to call Dayton? Okay,
25:21
Speaker 2: I mean this was the biggest morale boost for CPD
25:25
Speaker 2: I think in a long time. Was And you know,
25:28
Speaker 2: nobody celebrates people getting hurt or anything like that, but
25:32
Speaker 2: this is a property crime and according to Carrie Bloom,
25:35
Speaker 2: it's just property. Get over it. So you know, right
25:39
Speaker 2: back at you, Judge Bloom, And you guys can thank
25:42
Speaker 2: her in November by voting for Susan Luken, who wants
25:47
Speaker 2: to restore law and order to the juvenile court system
25:51
Speaker 2: and UH wants to restore justice to the victims. So
25:57
Speaker 2: you know, it's just crazy. You can't even this up.
26:00
Speaker 2: And I want to circle back to the whole everybody
26:04
Speaker 2: said I was lying thing.
26:06
Speaker 1: Hold on one second, media, let you you can conclude
26:09
Speaker 1: with that, maybe another cup an issue or two. But
26:11
Speaker 1: we'll we'll break right here because we're out of time
26:13
Speaker 1: in the segment, but we'll come back to the accusations
26:16
Speaker 1: of lying with signal ninety nine and seven forty six
26:18
Speaker 1: right now fifty five KR City talk Station. Well, I
26:20
Speaker 1: mentioned you had the talk station seven fifty to fifty
26:24
Speaker 1: five KR City talk station, Happy Friday, Congressman Warren Davidson
26:27
Speaker 1: at the top of the UR News got quite a
26:28
Speaker 1: few things to go over with Congressman Davidson. Of course,
26:30
Speaker 1: I heeart media aviation expert Jay Rattle of at eight thirty.
26:33
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around for that, and I
26:35
Speaker 1: appreciate you sticking around for the last segment with Signal
26:37
Speaker 1: ninety nine, the collective that is on Facebook, Signal ninety
26:40
Speaker 1: nine with the inside scoop and going back to defending
26:42
Speaker 1: your your reputation against accusations of lying, which clearly you
26:46
Speaker 1: did not. You had a common or two on that
26:48
Speaker 1: signal ninety nine.
26:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to say that somebody, somebody high
26:55
Speaker 2: up in the city made the decision to have the
27:00
Speaker 2: statement put out that it was the crowds listened to police,
27:07
Speaker 2: you know, they they listened to orders. It was it
27:10
Speaker 2: was not unruly. That statement was completely false. And I
27:15
Speaker 2: want to go on the record and say the captain
27:17
Speaker 2: that made that statement, I'm sure was ordered to make
27:21
Speaker 2: that statement. Okay, So I don't hold him to the
27:27
Speaker 2: fire for that, but I will say that they can't
27:32
Speaker 2: have thought this was going to stay buried. There's no
27:35
Speaker 2: way that. You know, when the media went down there,
27:39
Speaker 2: of course, the crowds had moved, so they didn't. They
27:43
Speaker 2: went down, they looked at one location where they had
27:46
Speaker 2: heard on the scanner they were the crowds were no
27:48
Speaker 2: longer there, So to them, it just didn't happen. So
27:52
Speaker 2: for the media to infer that we made it up,
27:57
Speaker 2: that that that that was kind of that was kind
28:01
Speaker 2: of cringey because they know better, They know us better
28:05
Speaker 2: than that, right, So these other people that accused us
28:09
Speaker 2: of lying, I could. I don't live They don't live
28:15
Speaker 2: in my head. I live in their heads. So I
28:17
Speaker 2: don't care about that, But who made the decision to
28:23
Speaker 2: lie to the press, Who made the decision for the
28:27
Speaker 2: night sheef to say yeah, no, everything was fine, everything
28:30
Speaker 2: was orderly, blah blah blah blah blah. Who made that decision,
28:35
Speaker 2: Because that's not transparency, that's lying. They lied. I didn't lie,
28:43
Speaker 2: We didn't lie. They lied, So, you know, and I
28:48
Speaker 2: believe that they did that to try to discredit Signal
28:51
Speaker 2: ninety nine. They want to shut us down. We're a
28:53
Speaker 2: pain in their pineapple. So you know, if they could,
28:58
Speaker 2: if they could bag on us for that and get
29:01
Speaker 2: people to start questioning us, our ethics, our integrity, we're
29:06
Speaker 2: just making stuff up. It discredits the page. Maybe the
29:09
Speaker 2: page will go away. I'm here to tell you, Brian,
29:12
Speaker 2: We're not going anywhere. We're not going anywhere. So and
29:18
Speaker 2: the more they doubled down on this, the more we're
29:21
Speaker 2: going to make them look stupid. And that's what they
29:24
Speaker 2: look like right now, because did ten Cobra lie No? No,
29:28
Speaker 2: did the cat reports lie? No? Did we lie? Know?
29:33
Speaker 2: So you know, I think the city owes the citizens
29:37
Speaker 2: and apology. I think they should make another statement that says,
29:41
Speaker 2: you know, these things did happen, but it's you know.
29:46
Speaker 2: I mean, if I ran the city, that's what I
29:47
Speaker 2: would be doing. But you know, I'll hold my breath
29:51
Speaker 2: all wear right. So I just wanted to say that
29:55
Speaker 2: who was behind that, who's trying to discredit us? Who's
29:59
Speaker 2: you know, who's doing this because it's wrong and will
30:03
Speaker 2: make you look dumb every time.
30:05
Speaker 1: Well I would argue they make themselves look dumb based
30:08
Speaker 1: upon this behavior. You're just merely pointing out what's going on,
30:11
Speaker 1: and people can draw their own conclusions. But there's something
30:16
Speaker 1: definitely nefarious going on, and you are the one that's
30:18
Speaker 1: bucking the messaging coming from city Hall, which is an
30:21
Speaker 1: inaccurate message regarding violence and crime in downtown Cincinnati, most
30:25
Speaker 1: notably among the juvenile members, the members of the juvenile community.
30:28
Speaker 1: And I personally thank you, and I'm sure my listening
30:30
Speaker 1: audience is truly appreciative of the work that you do
30:33
Speaker 1: in calling out the people for what's actually going on.
30:36
Speaker 1: Thank you Signal ninety nine from the bottom of my heart,
30:38
Speaker 1: and I look forward to having you back on and
30:40
Speaker 1: I will continue to follow you as I recommend to
30:42
Speaker 1: my listeners. Do Facebook's the place Signal ninety nine the
30:45
Speaker 1: page you'll enjoy it.
30:48
Speaker 2: Yes, Wait, I just wanted to tell you something. Thank
30:52
Speaker 2: you for defending me all week. Oh, thank you. I
30:56
Speaker 2: appreciate it. I know we've been friends for are very
30:59
Speaker 2: long time. I wanted to tell you that.
31:02
Speaker 1: Listen, if you lied, I'd call you out on it,
31:05
Speaker 1: and I would give you an opportunity to defend yourself.
31:07
Speaker 1: But look there the cads screen. The screens are right there.
31:10
Speaker 1: The swat team was called in. Ken Cober pointed out
31:12
Speaker 1: thirty officers had to be on the scene. They brought
31:14
Speaker 1: out two drump patrols. Clearly there's a lot going on,
31:18
Speaker 1: and the city is denying it and telling captains to
31:20
Speaker 1: go out and tell you there's nothing to see here. Then,
31:22
Speaker 1: well you've shown them for the well the liars that
31:25
Speaker 1: they may possibly be. We'll wait for the verdict on
31:28
Speaker 1: who issued the order signal ninety nine, and something tells
31:30
Speaker 1: me you'll probably have that information before any of the
31:33
Speaker 1: local news outlets. God bless you. Keep up the great work.
31:36
Speaker 1: We'll talk again real soon. Have a great weekend, you too.
31:41
Speaker 1: Seven fifty six Congressman Warren Davidson after the top of
31:44
Speaker 1: the hour, news is the war over? Why did Donald
31:46
Speaker 1: Trump walk away from the twenty
