• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Happy Freddy Eve.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Some sill.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: No idea, Yeah, you know, neither do I. Some say
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the end is near, and I hear those words and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I kind of scratch my head occasionally and go, you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: know what, Maybe they were onto something. As I see
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the Trump the other night. Anyway, just kind of flew
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: underneath my radar. Are we back to weapons of mass destruction?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Which was the predicate for blowing up the Iraqis? Never
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: did find those, did we? Hmm? They're working to build
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: A little line that I kind of in reading Donald
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Trump's the State of the Union Address the other day,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it kind of flew underneath my radar since I did
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: read it, and I had to catch up in the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: morning when I when I got up not having watched
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it live. And I'm kind of glad I didn't watch
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it live, having seen a lot of the clips from
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the State of the Union Address live. Now, like a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people, I don't always agree with how Donald
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Trump articulates things, and of course sometimes it can come
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: out or just just rub me the wrong way a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: little bit. I sent it to Corum, which Jonathan Charlie
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: wrote about, I've been talking about this for a long time.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: What's with all the F bombs? You get to that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in a minute. But Happy Friday Eve to you. Always
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: welcome calls here in the fifty five KRCY Morning Show.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: My name is Brian Thomas. I host this program and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to be able to do it, and I'm
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: glad that I see joe'strekker worry belongs executive producer in
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and ever research guru. All right, great guy and a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: man with whom without whom I could not do the show.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk pound Fay fifty on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: AT and T phones. Do you want to give me
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a chime? I'll get to Turtley's comments on the F
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: bombs in a second one, you know, coming up Congressman
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson. What a perfect time to have Congressman David's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on the pro Davidson on the program. We'll talk about
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: his reaction to the State of the Union address, the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: tariffs plus war War, were the Irradians also a common
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: or two? Maybe if we have time about Mexico seven thirty,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the return of Signal ninety nine. She's great, somebody's got
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to do local reporting, and so Signal ninety nine has
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: taken upon herself to do local reporting, most notably in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the area of law enforcement and other things going on
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: with downtown since and they city council and mayor Aftab
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: pro Ball. She'd been at seven thirty all the way
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to eight twenty five when we start with Jay Ratliffe.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I heard media aviation expert Jay Ratliff, which I just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I really enjoy those conversations and I hope you do too.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So that's every Thursday at eight thirty. So what's going
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: on here? I sorry, I'm feeling you know, I just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: really feeling depressed this morning.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: One of the things that we've done over with the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: situation with Iran, apparently all the boats have been moved
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: out of ports where they normally sit. All of our
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: ships that are normally in ports have we all moved
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: out to see, which is exactly what happened when we
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: started attacking Saddam Hussein. So we've obviously seen the troop
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: build up in the Middle East. Literally all the hardware
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we can come up with is there, and now we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: seem to be a moment in time away from starting
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to drop bombs. I just don't like this in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: way things have been setting up. So I'm a little
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: depressed this morning. Kind of it just settled in on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: me in a weird way. You can feel free to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: try to talk me out of my blue funk this morning.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But as I pivot over to Jonathan Turley, I hope
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you were familiar with Jonathan Turley, law professor, author of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller Rage and the Republic, which is,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of intertwined with what he said today.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So props did Jonathan Turley for channeling me over the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: past several weeks. And as I absorb all of the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: f bombs being dropped left and right, state of discourse
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in the United States of America has reached the bottom,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: maybe I couldn't get worse. I'm asking you, respectfully f
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: off those words by California Governor Gavin Newsom spokesperson is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He Garden summing up the current race to the bottom
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of American politics. Thank you, John. Democrats appear in a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: competition of the profane, where the voters are now subjected
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to a virtual carpet bombing of F bombs and other
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: indecent language. Garden's response was to a standard media inquiry
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: after Newsom's controversial statement to a black interviewer, saying I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: like you, no better than you. I'm a nine to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: sixty SAT guide, literally a nine to sixty SAT guy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Never see me read a speech because I cannot read
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a speech widely denounced as a racist, with Newsome insisting
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that he was only taking a talking about his struggle
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: with dyslexia that's been quickly fell apart after his statement
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: quote I'm like you, I'm no better than you, which
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: suggests that he thought the audience in Atlanta had low scores.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Reporters followed up to ask for proof about his disability,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: including claim that I cannot read. The response and F
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: bomb from Garden, he unleased a profane attack on Sean
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Hannity and Fox News gave the California governor a chance
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to respond to his critics. Hannity criticized Newsom's comments in Atlanta.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The governor posted several four letter words on X, concluding
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: with spare me your rage, your fake effing outrage us quote.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: There was a time when political leaders maintained basic standard
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of civility and avoided profanity in public. Presidents like Lyndon
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Johnson could be quite salty in private, Yes he was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: known for that, but dree lying in public. Notably, one
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of Richard Nixon's objections to his tapes being made public
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: was the inclusion of foul language used in the Oval Office.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: He noted in his book in the Arena the quote
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: since I neither since neither I nor most other presidents
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have ever used profanity in public. Millions were shocked. It
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't long ago that Trump's then new White House Communications
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: director Anthony Scaramucci shocked many with the profane diatribe he
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: defended as an Italian thing. At the time, I Jonathan
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Turley wrote, as someone who was raised in an Italian family,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we clearly had a different upbringing, and noted that if
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I use language like that in public, my Sicilian grandmother
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: would have ended in the dietribe with a backhand. Profanity
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: sometimes added to the mystique of military leaders who sought
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to convey that they were unconcerned with social norms as warriors.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: General George Patten known to drop some doozies in one
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: scene in the famous movie. Paton asked about the Bible
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: next to his bed and whether he really prayed. Patent responds,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I sure do every g D day, obviously not using
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the abbreviation. Politics was different. The public once looked at
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: political leaders as role models who exemplified social norms. Now
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it now appears that profanity is viewed as an essential
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: element of political speech. On the left, Katie Porter this
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: week thrilled the crowd waving around a sign reading f
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Trump previously criticized for using such language to abuse staffers
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to quote the get out of my f wording shot
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in an interview The State of the Union talked about this. Yesterday,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Representati Rashida Taleb wore a button on the House floor
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: reading f ice. Such behavior is not just limited to Democrats.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Trump has used profanity on occasion. However, Democrats appear to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: have made profanity a signature element of their campaigns. Representative
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett, running for US Senate in Texas, seems a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: perpetual profanity machine, regularly telling figures like Elon Musk to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: f off and dropping the F bomb at a higher
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: rate than prepositions. Some are virtually giggly over swearing in
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: public Representative Maxine Dexter, Democrat out of Oregon, declared, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: don't swear in public very well, but we have to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: f Trump. Please don't tell my children that I just
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: did that. The crowd roared with approval that Dexter was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: feigning being naughty with dirty words. This belief that profanity
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: is a way to connect your younger voters who trash
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: talk and seem to like what was once called body mouths. However,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: there's also a clear use of profanity as a way
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to establish your bona fides with the mob. Trashing conventions
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in favor of civility and decency is a way to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: convey that you're part of a radical chikh. Figures like
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Sentiment Order leader Chuck Schumer have tried cringe worthy efforts
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to connect with voters by dancing or cooking burgers. Schumer
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: then joined his colleagues and dropping the F bomb to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: show that he is very, very angry. The use of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: profanity has risen alongside the rage in rhetoric. Democratic politicians
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: now regularly called Trump Republicans and law enforcement Nazis and Gestapo,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: many promising to carry out a crackdown on Trump supporters
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: once they are returned to power, including through criminal prosecutions.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The devolution of American politics is occurring as politicians and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: putting its call for radical changes to our constitutional system.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Showing that you do not respect social conventions adds to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: your cachet as a radical leader. In my Jonathan Turley's book,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Rage in the Republic explore comparisons with our current politics
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and the conditions that let to the French Revolution. There's
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a value to dehumanizing one's opponents to justify radical, even
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: violent action. Profanity conveys your self, authenticating anger to the mob.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You may be an establishment politician, but you are one
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of them. It rarely lasts. Revolutions tend to devour their own.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Swearing up a storm is not going to satisfy the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: mob for very long. Democrats hope to ride the rage
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: wave back into power and assume that once they have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that power, the mob will simply disappear in gratitude. It
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is likely that politicians both parties will continue this trend
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: toward potty mouth politics. And if you are speaking with civility,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you are not mad enough. These politicians are feeding a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: rage addiction in this country by showing that they do
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: not respect any limits of decenc here decorum and seeking
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: radical changes. Mark Twain said that under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The difference today is that the profanity itself is a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: prayer by politicians seeking power. There's a belief that if
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you want to be sworn in as new governor of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: California or a senator from Texas, you better start swearing now. Yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: isn't that the truth? I like to buck that trend,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm guilty as the next guy,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: or maybe I'm worse than you. In my private language,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I do have an internal monologue, and I do know
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: how to monitor it. I am rarely one to keep
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the lid on my internal monologue. But it isn't just
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the FCC looming over me that keeps me from dropping
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: curse words on the morning show. I have sensitive and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: out of respect for the listening audience, I kind of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: try to maintain my well my mouth. I wish more
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of us would do it as well, and most notably
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: those who well. At one point in our lives, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: used to look up to five point sixteen right now,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: fifty five care see the talk station. Your comments and
• 11:16

• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and Neil yesterday as well. So plus all there it
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is big picture with Jack Addedita just Drecker's use his
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: use of artificial intelligence to create the photographs that go
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: along with the various interviews that I do here in
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show. He's kind of pictured Jack edited. What
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is it you take that? Is that picture from high
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: school or something? Just something I found. I'm sure Jack
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: looks at that and he's like wow. Eh. Anyways, because
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a good a better mood, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll just keep my popcorn out on this one.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: You can talk with taxpayer protection lines Dave Williams here
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in the Morning Show regularly and had him on recently,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, he's always looking at We are regularly
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: together making fun of the stupidity of well, our elected
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: officials using our hard earned labor, especially in the form
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: of taxpayer dollars to build stadiums for other people. Right
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: here in Ohio of course, six hundred million dollars going
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns. How in the hell did that
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: come about? I do not know. I understand it, but
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it's with almost like Shoden forty. I look at what's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: going on with the Chicago Bears, which may be leaving
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the city of Chicago, and I would love if that happened.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Where would they go? Hammond, Indiana. Yeah, they've been weighing
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of options a site near Wolf Lake in
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: ham and Indiana. They meaning the Chicago Bears. I acknowledge
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I regularly do not talk about sports here in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Morning show. This is more political than sports. So you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: got ham in Indiana or a property that it owns
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights. That's a nice suburb.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I've been there. They had a great racetrack out there,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but not in the city of Chicago, which is what's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: funny about this. So it looks like, regardless of what
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: happens and what outcome, they're not going to be at
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Soldier Field anymore. But I thought it particularly funny because
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Indiana's House just passed a bill in an effort to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: lure the Chicago Bears over to the ham In site,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: passed ninety five. I've A four establishes the Northwest Indiana
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Stadium Authority and a Northwest Indiana Stadium Board, which is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: which are both designed to oversee development operations of this
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: proposed stadium in Hammond. Hammond not actually a boomtown either anyway,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Indiana House Speaker Todd Hudson, the bottom line is this
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: project will be paid for by those who benefit from
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this investment. And I'm joking because I think about Dave
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Williams investment. Those who visit Stando hotels, eat and shop
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in the area. That's the same line that's used to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: sell stadiums anywhere they're built. All the revenue that's going
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to be generated as a yeah, right, whatever, You're not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: going to convince me it isn't just a sports venue.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It will bring large scale global events to northwest Indiana.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: This is a transformational opportunity for the region of the state. Okay, whatever,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: But that allows you to pivot over to what Illinois
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Governor JB. Pritzker had to say. I'm very interested to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: see how the people of Indiana, the voters of Indiana
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: feel about the massive increase in taxes that are being
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: proposed to pay for the stadium in Indiana for the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Oh, Pritzker, of all people, is worried about
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a massive increase in taxes on the Indiana folks. Do
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they want to raise their taxes to pay for a
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: stadium in the state of Indiana for the Chicago Bears. Well,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: would they still be the Chicago Bears if they're in Hammond, Indiana? Yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Hammond Bears does not have the same ring to it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I will acknowledge, but you know, keep your popcord out
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: on this. I think we'll be fantastic to see them
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: pack their bags and leave Chicago. You know, Soldier Field.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I've been there. That place has been falling apart since
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I lived in Chicago, and I don't think it's gotten
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: any better. Bobby, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Friday,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Eve to you. Thanks for calling.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Hey, my brother, Good day today, Happy Thursdy.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Trying to make it man, trying to in spite of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: my internal feelings on the subject. I'm working on it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind today, my friend?
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Well, we're just just moving forward, trying to maintain on
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: mighty gods, America awful, busy, and you know also today's
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: handicapped Thursday, handy and lovely down, lovely downtown Cincinnati. How
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: many shootings do we go have with?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Oh oh oh the odds maker? Bobby, where are you
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: going on this? What's you over and under?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Four?
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Four?
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Market? Did Bobby's on record? Four? And we all know
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: fortunate that's four too many, isn't it, Bobby?
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Four too many? It's unfortunate.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, fortunately today we can account to the sad reality
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: of the violence in downtown Cincinnati, with Signal ninety nine
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: coming on the program to maybe explain some of the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: reasons well behind the policies that are failing the city
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and its residents. Bobby, take care, man, you
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have a great day. Five twenty five right now. Forty
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: five k city taxation, local stories or your calls, which
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I prefer the latter.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: You know that stick around right back, fifty five KRC.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Need thank you, honey. Indiana already has the Cult. Do
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: they really need the Bears? Does anybody really need any
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: of this crap given the expense in which kind of
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it comes with. Jeff Rerecker's a bit skeptical that the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: bears would actually move out of Chicaga. He said, Yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: there's that NFL vote requirement. How many is like a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: super majority? Joe, twenty nine out of thirty two teams
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: have to approve it. Joe thinks that won't happen. Whatever, anyway,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: see what Tom's got this morning time. Thanks for calling man.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it that you bother calling me up in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the morning.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a couple of people out.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: There that like you, right, aymen, I don't know. I'm
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: sorry that this this whole war thing is really really
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: taking the wind out of my sales. This morning, I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: feel like we did like it's like today we're gonna
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: start dropping bombs on I run, and I think that
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: is going to be the biggest Charlie foxtrot that you
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and I have experienced made in our lifetimes. I don't know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: it's feeling blue about it either.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Either way, it's gonna be a mess. It's a shame
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: that you know, you know, a lot of us have
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: what's the saying if you if you've already read the
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: last pages of the book, you kind of feel like
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: you know what's coming anyway. So it's all gonna it's
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: all gonna turn into a Charlie foxtrot or whatever whatever
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: initials you want to try to use, because we're we're
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: we're not wanting to say foul language on the radio.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: On the tail end of my comments about the bomb,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: there I go, see see, but see, I'm sorry I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: sound hypocritical this morning. Oh my god, I.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: You're you see, you're decent enough. You're being decent enough
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: to use Charlie foxtrot instead of the actual words, you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: and it's it's kind of like the whole thing with
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: that phrase. It started a few years ago with let's
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: go Brandon. Everybody knows where that came from, how how
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: that started, and and and if anybody doesn't, it's it's
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: funny being able to tell that story of how that
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: originated and what that actually stands for, because there has
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: to be there's got to be a line that you
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: draw and say, I'm not I'm not crossing that line
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: in these particular situations. So obviously anybody listening to me
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: that knows me knows that that I I have dropped
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: a few choice words on a daily basis. And then
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: we you know, we get around our co workers, we
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: get around their buddies, whatever, and and I'm not I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: not defending it saying it's okay. But there's a time
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: and place where where somethings are okay and they're not
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: as bad. But you get into a public setting, now
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: it's not time to show how how upset you are.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: It's it's time to show that you have control of
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: your yourself enough that people can trust what you're saying
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: because you con could control your mouth, and that that's
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: that's more important than letting people know how upset you are.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: And that's that's good political candidates to come on the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: fifty five KC Morning Show and have to and result
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: in the dumb button being used.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Right there, right if you're running for public office, if
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: you're going to try to represent me, I'm the listener
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: of what you're saying, and I'm the person who you
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: want me to vote for you. I need you to
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: I need to know that you could control yourself. Yes, okay,
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: not not that every moment waking moment of your life.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: You're a perfect little angel. I don't need to know that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: And in fact, if if you try to convey that,
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: I'm going to think you're alive, nobody is. But I
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: need to know that in most settings, and especially in
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: a professional public setting, you can control yourself. So, I mean,
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: I voted for Trump, and and this man lives what
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: Teeter's right on the edge of that, you know, I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: and I have a kind of cringe some time when
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: he says some stuff. So it's not that that determines
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: my vote, but when you go intentionally are crossing that
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: line on a regular basis because you want people to
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: know how enraged you are, well obviously what your substance
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: of what you're trying to say isn't good enough for me. Yes,
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: you feel that you need to curse, that's the only
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: way you got to get your point across. Well, then
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: you lost me. And as you know, we see it
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: across every political spectrum. I'm not just dumping this on Democrats,
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: as Republicans that do it too, but you can tell
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: the difference. You can see the ones who are going
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: out of their way to drop the F bombs, to
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: drop whatever curse words just to show I upset. You
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: need to listen to me. Now, I'm not listening to
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: you because what you have to say is stupid and
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: that usually means you got to d.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: In front of your day.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: Don't vote Democrat.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, right, thanks to well the one thing,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the only optimist still, I suppose the only thing. And
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know this is necessarily a positive development that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: it will get We'll get so tired of hearing the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: F bomb that it will no longer result in the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: clicks it apparently is generating right now, and maybe that'll
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: result in the word not being used as much, or
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: it'll be incorporated incorporated into the regular modern day lexicon
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: on an always used basis, in which case maybe the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: FCC will change its rules. I don't see positive developments
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: baked into this cake anywhere. Five thirty five right now,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: if you if I have k sit the talk station, Oh
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: there it is. The stack is stupid. I would prefer
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: yarn from you, but we can get into the stack
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is stupid and hopefully change my demeanor this morning coming
• 22:47

• 24:56
  Speaker 1: large contusion on her head from the frying pan and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: she had a bloody lip from the punch to the face.

• 25:13
  Speaker 1: taken it a custody. Each charge was simple assault and harassment.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Both given a five thousand dollars unsecured bail by the judge.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: The arithtocrats jill, oh my, you're not in it phrasing,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: let's see here. Officers had to respond to the six
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: thousand block of Sebistopal Avenue six am investigated a report
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of a traffic crash with a driver trapped in the wreckage,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: where they took a forty seven year old man in custody.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: At the scene, police located a black Land Rover SUV
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: that had collided into a brick wall. Quote punching a
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: substantial hule into the brick brickwork court to the Sebastopol
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Police officers found the suspect inside the vehicle, who was,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in the words of the report, still inhaling whippets which
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: contained nitrous ox side still at it. Man removed from

• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of driving under the influence court. A statement on social
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: media officials broke down the aftermath of the scene. As
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: can be seen from the footage the attached video footage,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the vehicle was traveling westbound on Sebastipole Avenue quite clearly
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: at a significant and unsafe speed. At the intersection of
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Petaluma Avenue, the vehicle impacted the curb, crashed through a
• 26:46

  Speaker 1: through the entire parking lot before impacting the brick wall
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the building next to the bank, causing significant structural damage.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Police also expressed happiness that they were well no citizens
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: hanging around the vicinity of the area because they probably
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: would have been hit by this guy who was again
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: still inhaling whippets when the cops showed up. All right,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: what was that, Joe? I think he was older than thirteen? Joe,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: he had a driver's license. Just shy of five forty
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: five fifty five KRC, the talk stations stick around me
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: back and can call love to hear from you otherwise
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: more stupid. And then we'll dive into the more heady
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: realities of the world in which we find ourselves after
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the six o'clock.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Hour fifty five KRC, Sure in c the talk station.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Five forty nine and a Thursday Friday Eve call what
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you want back of the stacker stupid. We got to Arkansas,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: where a forty seven ro a man accused of following
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and harassing his ex wife before trying to I know
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Joe X means like, don't hang out, don't be around her,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: ignore her. It's an X. Why do you care? He
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: tried to run her down in a Kroger parking lot
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: while police officers watched Philip Blake Mink taking a custody
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: charged with one kind of criminal criminal attempt to commit
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: first degree murder, one kind of first degree stocking officers
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: with the Jonesboro police Farmer, responding to a call the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: victim's home on the afternoon a Thursday of the fifteenth
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of January regarding a reported violation of a protective order
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: got there to the house. Police spoke with a victim
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: who said her ex husband, mister Mink, had defied a
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: court order by coming to her home and repeatedly ringing
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: her doorbell and banging on her windows in an effort
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: to get her to come outside, phrasing, oh Joe, that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: was a stretch. Victim claimed Mink centers several tech especially
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: because she refused to leave the house. Mink then allegedly
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: drove away in his Ford F one point fifty, which
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the police started searching for. Later in the day, the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: victim stopped a police officer near the entrance to the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Kroger parking lot while she was on the phone with Mink.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: On the call, officers reportedly heard Minks shouting at the victim.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: While on the phone with the victim, Officers allegedly spotted
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Mink traveling past the Kroger location quote in the direction
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of the victim's address Quats. They attempted to pull over
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the vehicle, but he reportedly made a sudden u turn,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: driving across the patch of grass and entering the Kroger
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: parking lot. According to the probable cause affidavit, Mink began
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: traveling at a high rate of speed in the parking
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: lot toward the victim. He intentionally struck the victim with
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the vehicle while she was sitting inside, causing a collision.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Mink gets out of his vehicle almost immediately after and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: runs toward the victim's vehicle on the driver's side. Officers
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: on the scene heard one single shot, and Mink said, quote,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: she shot me. She shot me.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm actually feeling like, well, good, I'm
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: glad she did. I think she had a reasonable expectation
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: of Griev's bodily harm potentially death with him trying to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: hit her. Anyway, who can argue with that. While the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: victim did fire warning shot as Mink approached your vehicle,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: he was not hit. That's disappointing to me anyway. Interview
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: with the police, victim admitted that she did fire a
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: single round due to her being in fear for her life.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Oh there's the operative words. Detector's recovered video footage of
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the collision that confirms the victim's statements that's in the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: police report mean taking into custody at the scene. Currently
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: being held in the Craighead County Down one hundred thousand
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: dollars cash only bond. So, in addition to murder and stalking,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: is also facing one kind of each of first degree
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: criminal mischief and violation of an order protection. He'll be
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: back in court on the twenty seven. Just walk away,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Just walk away. That's the answer to so many problems
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: in this world, doctor Poon phrasing gee, I wonder how
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: this one made it into the stack of stupid Joe Strecker,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Uh. Canadian doctor Poon apparently internationally
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: numb because during the COVID nineteen pandemic he had a
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: campaign to reunite cross border families and couples. He's now
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: been charged with forty three client crimes, including sexual assault, voyeurism,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and making child porn spanning the last twelve years. David
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Edward ui Poon licensed practice medicine in Ontario and Saskatchewan,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: working as a public health doctor. He's now suspended. Hasn't
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: been a court yet on the ESAW, but he's been
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: charged after first of the two charges were found, Poon's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: lawyer told the College of Physicians and Surgeons that the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: accusations are unrelated as medical practice. All so, he's a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: does doesn't like make child porn while he is practicing medicine.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: He just does it on the side. Does that make
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: it okay? Trying to Police initially charge Poon with one
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: count of each of accessing and possessing child sexual abuse
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and exploitation material. He was later charged with additional crimes,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: specifically forty one additional crimes, six counts of sexual assault,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: six counts of drugging someone to facilitate sexual assault, one
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: kind of sexual assault with the weapon described as an
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: intimate pleasure item. Joe, we have a new word for
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: marital aid or new words for marital aids intimate pleasure items. Anyway, apparently,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: according to the allegations that they have, the charge has
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: been levied against him. You can commit an assault with
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: an intimate pleasure item. Eighteen counts of voyeurism for sexual purpose,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: five counts of making child porn in the form of photographs,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: five counts of possessing child sexual abuse exploitation Materialhoon, are
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: we not saying phrasing anymore, okay, and we end up
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: in Paris, Texas. A waterburger manager forced to subdue a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: customer by apparently beating him to the trash can. Why
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: are you doing that?
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Why? Because he allegedly assaulted the workers at the waterburger?
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: What the Paris police officers shut up? February twenty second
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: to the water Burger a main street in Paris, officers
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: found a customer at the location was verbally abusive to
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the staff. The manager asked the man to leave, and
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: he complained, but threatened to return to the store and
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: assault the manager when police left. The suspect did return
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: later to the restaurant and assaulted the manager by punching
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: him multiple times. Manager able to recover, subdue the man
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and force him out of the store. Video from a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: waitress shows that what appeared to be the manager beating
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the customer with a trash can. Suspect identified as forty
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: one year old Anthony William new Hooyees of Spring, Texas.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: When the police got there, they found him bleeding from
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the head in the restauran on parking lot. Arrest did
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: charge with assault resisting assault resulting in bodily injury and
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: there it is public intoxication. After being taken in jail,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: he intentionally flooded the cells. I didn't say with what.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: He's been charged with criminal missions less than seven hundred
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and fifty bucks as a result of the flooding incident.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: The shy five fifty six fifty five K see DE
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: talk station plenty coming up in the six o'clock area
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: and including a said painful reality while we are distracted
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: by this, that and the other thing.
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: No, that's weak.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Six oh six here fifty five car CD talk station.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Try to make it happy Friday, even if you can
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: stick around all morning, if you can. One hour from now,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson returns, and boy don't we have a
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: lot to talk about with Congressman Davidson, including his reaction
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to the State of the Union address, the tariff decision,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: which is gonna be a real, real, real problem, unringing
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the bell, the tariffs that have been levied so far
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to the extent they have to be refunded. Look shared
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Brown's already promising you a thirteen hundred and thirty six
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: dollars refund every Ohio household. The reckless Terroff's ruled illegal
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: by the Supreme Court cost of Highlands six point five billion,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: but John Houston supported them at every turn, says Shared
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Brown Highlands that are being crushed by soaring prizes. They
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: deserve their money back. Is that gonna make you want
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: to vote for him? You're gonna give con our shared
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Brown credit? Did we really all pay thirteen hundred and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: thirty six dollars? Are we all equal purchasers of goods
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and services? That's ridiculous, isn't it. Does your neighbor buy
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the same stuff as you are? We all equally buying
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the exact same tariff products that result in an equal
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and thirty six dollars refund. I can't say
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that that's the case, even if I believe that I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: have been harmed by tariffs. Anyway, it's billions of dollars
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred thirty billion dollars widely reported, although it could
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: be more than that, and everybody and his brother is
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: sticking their hand in the cookie jar by way of
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: filing a claim, either in court or just asserting their
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: rights to a tariff refund so great. I'm not suggesting
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: for a moment that I think the Supreme Court was
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: wrong in its decision. But you know, there are consequences,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and this is one that we're all going to have
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to live through. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: found five fifty on AT and T phones. Also talk
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: about the war with Iran, which seems to be a
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: moment in time away, and that's really got me down
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: this morning. As I mentioned last hour, a sentence that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump uttered during the State of the Union address
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: which flew over my radar yesterday, which has really got
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: me worried and ginned up this morning talking about Iran,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and it sounds a whole hell of a lot like
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: the ramp up to the invasion of Iraq, because all
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: they've got weapons of mass destruction. Oh my god, we're
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: all gonna die weapons of mass destruction. Okay. And we
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: sat and we waited. I remember watching the television when
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Bush say was going to drop the bombs. We were waiting.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: We just watched that video feed, the live video feed
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: from Tator wherever the hell it was. I can't remember
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: what city the feed was on, but just waiting for
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: a rocket to drop a bomb, and it started. Weapons
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: of mass destruction. So we were there for a while.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: We all remember the antics of back Dad Bob was
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: kind of comical there for a time, lives were lost,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: and apparently the predicate for doing it was never found,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: the weapons of mass destruction. Now we've got Donald Trump
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: say in the other day they the Iranians are already
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: developing missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And here's the problematic point, and they're working to build
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: missiles that will soon reach the United States. Now, some
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: observers of this point out that we're six thousand miles
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: away from Iran, and Iran's longest range missile is about
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: nineteen hundred miles, which some describe it as a huge gap.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: You can do the math on that forty miles. So
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: are we truly threatened? Do they represent a threat to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the United States of American? And I think most people
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: realize that if we start launching missiles, it will be
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: for the purpose of defending Israel. And some are even arguing,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and I saw a couple articles this morning, well, if
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Israel starts it, if they start launching missiles into Iran,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: then we're going to be able to follow suit. Like, oh, look,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: they started. Let's join in the fun. Either way. The concerns,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: and you know Daniel Davis Deep Dive, He's talked about
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it quite often. It is not going to be an
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: easy thing to resolve. It is going to be chaotic
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and there will be a lot of loss of life.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And there's also a big concern about the depletion of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: our weapons supplies, and this has been an ongoing topic.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: You know, the Europeans want more missiles and weapons, the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Ukrainians want more missiles and weapons, and you know the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: response as well. You know, we'd love to be able
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: to hand them out, but we only have so much
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and we need them for ourselves. How many missiles and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: weapons are going to be depleted going after and engaging
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: in a full on war with the Iranians? And I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: would suggest quite a bit, which is alarming. Also alarming,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: America's bill will come do, which is an important thing
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: to consider because part of the problem we have this
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: massive federal debt, which is fueled in large part because
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: we spend a whole lot on military, which I don't
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: necessarily think is a bad idea, But do we need
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: one and a half trillion dollars? And I'll go back
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to the point, like, we're looking at Minnesota, and I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: see that jd Vance has already announced pausing more than
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: a quarter of a billion dollars to Minnesota for medicaid
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: funding after he was appointed to go to the chief
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: fraud Investigator. Uh fine, the reflection of other costs and
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: expenditures we have out here. If we minded this store
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit better, maybe the deficit wouldn't be so big.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: But let's go to William Galston, Opinion Report, opinion contributor
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: to The Wall Street Journal. Yes, in America's Bill, will
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: comes to the first law of holes. He writes, when
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you're in one stop digging. Trump administration didn't get this moment.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I've been quite critical over the years to talk about
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration. We buried ourselves if you look at it,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and yes, part of it was COVID nineteen funding. And
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: we can look back with hindsight and say, well, maybe
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't have thrown trillions of dollars at co nineteen.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It wasn't as big of a problem as as we
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: thought it was. But the money was still spent. But
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Trump increased the federal deficit pretty damned dramatically in his
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: first term. No deficit hawk has Trump ever been Trump? Okay,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: this is going back to the to the comments here.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Despite America's large and deepening budget deficit, Trump endorsed Defense
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Secretary Pete Heggs's request for a five hundred billion dollar
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: increase in annual appropriations from the military budget. Oh my
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: point was going to be finishing the thought. Yeah, with
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: a one point five trillion dollar military budget. You know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of fraud, wasting abuse going on in that.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's just a fact. I don't know it
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: for sure, but if they can't pass an audit eight
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: times in a row because the paperwork isn't there, I'll
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: just leave it for you to decide whether there's problems
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: with pentagon spending. Administration officials reportedly at odds about how
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: to spend this additional money. Led by Officer Managed Budget
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Mudget Director Russell Vault, the Trump administration may propose substantial
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: cuts in domestic disc vesionary spending for fiscal twenty twenty seven.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: It might seem like this would offset increase pentagon spending,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: but the administration tried the same strategy in twenty twenty
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: six to little effect. Congress rejected most of the administration's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: proposed reductions in domestics of spending for fiscal twenty twenty six. Yeah,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I bet they did get a load of this. The
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: administration asked for a fifty four percent cut in appropriations
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: for the EPA. It got four percent. It asked for
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: a forty one percent reduction for the Centers for Disease
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Control and Prevention, It got one percent. It asked for
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: a twenty eight percent cut from healthing human services, It
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: got next to nothing. There's no reason to believe next
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: year's proposed cuts will fare any better. It takes significant
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: domestic reductions to pay for an extra half a trillion
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: dollars in defense spending. But it's clear and neither party
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: is willing to make take the heat for domestic spending
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: cuts of this size. Either Congress will reject Hegzeth's push
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: to remake the Pentagon's budget, or the federal budget deficit
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: will increase. The latter unacceptable because the fiscal status quo
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: is already unacceptable. Earlier this month, CBO Congressional Budget Office
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: issued its budget projections for the next decade. The federal
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: deficit pegged at one point nine trillion for this year
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: will rise to three point one trillion. In twenty thirty six,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the federal debt, which now stands at more than thirty
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars, will soar to fifty six trillion dollars, from
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent of gross domestic product to one hundred
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: and twenty percent. These are mind numbing figures, As every
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: credit card holder knows, borrowers are required to pay interest
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: on the unpaid debt balance. The nation's credit card is
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: no different. The outlook is scary. This year's interest payment
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: of the federal debt is going total more than one
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars, larger than the defense budget ten years now,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the payments will be more than double, to a level
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: close to the discretionary spending for the defense and domestic
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: programs combined, and by then about two thirds of federal
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: borrowing will go toward interest payments. And it's only going
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: to get worse after that. Last time the US had
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: a balance but federal budget was twenty five years ago,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: and since then, presidents and lawmakers of both parties have
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: acted without regard for the country's long term fysical health.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: You might ask, so what devisit? Hawks have been predicting
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: doom for decades and it never happens. Why should the
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: future be any different? Because this can't go on indefinitely.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Some point, potential lenders the United States will develop serious
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: doubts about our capacity to repay what we borrow. They'll
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: demand higher interest rates to compensate them for the risk,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: triggering economic slowdown that will reduce revenue, exacerbate the fiscal crisis,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: and create a vicious circle. Thank you, man, psychle. We
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: don't want. We don't know when this will happen, but
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: economics and history tell us it will. As the late
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: economists and presidential adviser Herbstein famously said, if something cannot
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: go on forever, it will stop. It took us decades
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to get into this mess, and we can't get out
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of it quickly, but we can take steps to prevent
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: things from getting worse. To begin, both chambers of Congress
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: should endorse a resolution introduced recently by bipartisan team of
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: House members that would establish an annual deficit target of
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: three percent of GDP, half the current level and low
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: enough to stabilize the debt as a share of the economy.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Great idea. Although feasible, the goal is ambitious. Which is
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: why the resolution calls on Congress and the administration to
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: charge a multi year path. Yeah, get on that second.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: By the end of the president's next president's first term
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: next president's first term, sorry, both the Social Security Trust
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Fund and the Medicaid Hospital Insurance Trust Fund ready for
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: this will be empty, and the benefits on which tens
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: of millions of Americans rely will be slashed. Lawmakers from
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: both parties will have to work together to keep the
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: government program solvent for the long term, eliminating the gap
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: between outlays and revenues. These programs would yield more than
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: half the reductions needed to releach the three percent deficit
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: target by twenty thirty three. The rest would need to
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: come from spending cuts and revenue increases. That's tax increases, folks,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: attributed to other government activities. And finally, the path of
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: fiscal responsibility must begin now. In the twenty twenty seven budget.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: The extent Congress of the administration can't agree on spending
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: cuts large enough to finance a large increase in defense spending,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: they should fill the gap with across the board income
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: cer tax ready for that one. They shouldn't enact spending
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: for defense or any other item that raises the budget
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: deficit above the baseline, nor should they enact new tax
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: cuts that raise the deficit. This is what means stop digging.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: That's a hard reality to face. So Donald Trump crawling
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the other night, and you know, it's nice to have
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: lower taxes, and I'm glad they are enshrined in the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: law and not set to expire. But with tax cuts
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: comes the necessary and long given need for spending cuts
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: and the end to Trump arrangement system where both sides
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: of the party wake up to the deficit reality we
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: are facing, as outlining Goalston's column this morning, and work
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: together cooperatively to end this nightmare which is going to
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: well frankly bankrupt our country. Six eighteen, fifty five KCD
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: talk station. Man I rage against the machine of deficit
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: for years and years and years. Call him this morning, Bill,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Happy Friday
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Eve to you, sir.
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Brian.
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: How are you this morning?
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: Sounds like you're doing fine and you're on your rampage.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I am on a tear this morning, Bill, and I
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: gotta say I did the two things that really kind
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: of burst my happiness bubble this morning. The article I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: just commented on a read from Bill Galston about our terrible,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: terrible deficit situation which no one seems to pay a
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: care or concern about. And then also the fact that
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: we're getting ready to drop bombs on Iran, which also
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: has to be quite disturbed. So trying to struggle through it, Bill,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: is just the reality of what I'm facing this morning,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: as we all are.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: Five years ago, we had a.
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: Budget that was in control because New Gingridge had a
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: contract for America. Why can't you ask some of the
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: congressmen and senators whenever you get him on your show,
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: to start one for this year, so that way we
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: know how all of them are going to start voting
• 47:19
  Speaker 9: for the next two years after this. I loved how
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: New Gingridge did that. I simply loved it, and I
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: think it should be done for your state, even your county.
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: That way we don't have the nitpicking up people, chewing
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: people out saying he's like this or she's like that,
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: or whatever. Just tell me what you stand for, tell
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: me what you're going to do, how many of them
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: are in favor of it, and then that way we
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: get the government we want.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe I just wrote it down on my topic
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: list with Congressman Warren Davidson's coming up after the seven
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour news. So yeah, I think it's an outstanding idea.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Someone needs to chart a path to fiscal responsibility. It's
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: knocking happened overnight. That would be a virtual area, genuine impossibility.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: But if you can chart a path, like you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the shaving off two percent every year from the budget collectively,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: let's just cut across the board every year until we
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: achieve some sort of responsible spending. I'll take that any
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: program you want. I can think we can all manage
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a two percent or more cut every year until the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: problem is solved. It's like like the Chinese Communist Party
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: and their one hundred year plan. They're planning long term
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: down the road. Are we not capable of doing that
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: to save ourselves? It's a work.
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: I God, I actually turned one in the New Gingridge
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: because he taught me a lesson.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: I gave one.
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: I gave a contract to America, So next time I
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: see you, I'll get a copy of it and bring
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: it to you. It's not all the right way, but
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: you know what I tried. You tried, you know and
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: that's all we can do. And that was what twenty
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: years ago.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Well, Bill, I wish it wouldn't be nice if you
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: know our elected officials at least tried. They don't even

  Speaker 1: Construction of the placement bridge expected to gain in the

• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I imagine the movie cameras will be there to capture that,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: maybe incorporated into some movie scenario down the road. Just
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: thinking Hamilton County courthouse chaos. We had three people in
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: one juvenile cited for disorderly conduct after well the Hamilton
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: County courthouse confrontation on Tuesday, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office saying
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the disturbance started as Latrelle Rodgers was taken out of
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: the courtroom after pleading guilty to in involuntary manslaughter, this
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: relating to a twenty twenty four death of Mazell Errington.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: He was arrested a rather sentence to twelve to seventeen
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: and a half years under the plea deal. Mazelle's mom,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Shamika Errington, she wasn't satisfied with the outcome. So I'm
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: pointing out that he shot my son five times in
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the back when my son was trying to run away
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: from him, because my son seen the gun. Anyway, she said,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: you couldn't control how our family responded to the plea.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: With his confrontation spilling out of the hallways of the courthouse.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Multiple people were involved, and the three people's sided were
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: given court dates in March. Second. Samika said she's not
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: pleased with how the situation was handled from the sentence
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: and everything had followed up. So yeah, Joe a student observation, Joe,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: that never happens. Someone's not happy with things going on
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: inside the Hamilton County Courthouse, Melbourne, Kentucky. You've got a
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: homeowner shot and killed during a break a possible break
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: in anyway. Happened Tuesday, according to the Cambel County Police.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: They they responded to a report of a gun being
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: fired during a possible burglary in the seven thousand block
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: of Cole's Road three thirty in the morning, roughly found
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: a homeowner, Jared up Senior, shot on the front porch.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: They took him to UC Medical Center. He did succumb
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: to his injuries and passed away. Hamilton County Share Corner's
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Officely it's an apparent homicide. No word yet if anybody's
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: in custody or if police have a suspect. Campbell County
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Police say their investigation includes Campbell County Special Investigation Response Team,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: the Cambell County Commonwealth Attorney's Office, and other assisting agencies.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: No threat to the public though, at least not anymore.

  Speaker 1: Six thirty five right now fifty five KR. See the
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: talk station calling Electric talk station six here fifty five

  Speaker 1: krsee the talk station looking Ford having Congressman Davidson on
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: the program seven to five signal ninety nine on the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: phone for an hour beginning into seven thirty and Jay rattleft,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I can't wait till late thirty. J Ratliff, I heard
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: media aviation expert. We'll be talking about, well, at least
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: one passenger board a luftons of flight forced to spend
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: the night, or passengers on a tons of flights forced
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: to spend the night on a plane. Okay, that would suck.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Not a huge fan of air travel, Sorry, Jay, That's
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: just how I feel about it. Real quick here, just
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: to save you from maybe coming and getting getting severely ill.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Saw a notice that cottage cheese sold in the Greatest
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Cincinnatia has been recalled for a potential health risk multiple states,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: actually a lot of states well, including the Greatest Sincenti,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: which is why I bring it up. Significant health risk
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: is possible according to the FDA, which used to recall
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: for cottage cheese. Products manufactured by a company called Subputo
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Cheese USA apparently not pasteurize at least fully. According to
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: the FDA statement, well, no illness or hospitalizations associated with
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: the recalled products have been reported to date. Consuming products
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: not fully pasteurized can post if you can, health risk,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: especially if the young and elderly and immunocompromised individuals. So
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: they are sold all over last Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: colle Alado, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Utah, Washington. So since
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: I have listeners outside of the Greater Cincinnati era, just
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: letting you know. So it's a it's great value, I guess.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Is the name on the label that's a Walmart brand, Joe, Well,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: thank you for filling me in. I haven't been in
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: a Walmart in probably ten years. Great value, fat free,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: small curd cottage cheese, Great value, low fat, small curd,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: great value small curd cottage cheese. All three of those,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: and they do have certain UPC numbers on it. Of
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: course I'm not going to read those out loud, but
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: if you have some Walmart cottage cheese, you might want
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: to check it out. I will give credit to Local
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: twelve for reporting so you can find the article there.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Hey we got this, I guess out loud. Are you
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: going to vote if there's if it's offered to you
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: on the on the ballot in November, we vote to
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: eliminate property taxes here in Ohio. The efforts ongoing. I
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: suspect they will get enough signatures out there and it
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: will be on the ballot. So are you going to
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: pull the trigger and vote for it? It's a mess
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: in the aftermath. Florida is going to people point to
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Florida all the time. Can't we be like Florida. Jay's
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: out there probably saying the same thing. Major reprieve from
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: Florida property taxes is in the works. Last week, the
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: state House advanced what do they call h JR. Two
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: H three, which effectively ends property taxes for homestead properties
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: that will be the primarily owned, owner occupied residence. So
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: if it's a if you got a like a condo
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: down there as your second residence, you're still going to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: pay property tax at least as I understand this piece
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: of legislation, but for primary residents, and a lot of
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: the reason they want to limited property tax, of course,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: is because it's really difficult for seniors who are on
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: a budget even stay in their own homes, which are
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: fully paid for. So this homestead property exemption would begin
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: January of next year. One World Properties president CEO Peggy
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: speaking with Fox News, she's from where I sit working
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: with buyers across the country and around the world. Confidence
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: in the state's long term stability matters just as much
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: as short term savings. And then she said, if Florida
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: can deliver meaningful relief, in other words, property tax limitation
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: while maintaining strong infrastructure and service, it will continue to lead. Well,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: that's an excellent observation. Can you do both of those? Though?
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Desantus is behind this Governor de Santis originally proposed back
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: last year in the end in October. It's working toward
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: the long discussed zero tax goal. So this HDR two
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: h three explains how homesteaded properties would stop paying city
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: and county property taxes entirely, yet could still pay roughly
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: thirty five to fifty percent of their total bill for
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: school taxes. So even though property tax bills won't god
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: to zero, they could be cut in half. So that's
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. And I suppose if
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: you carve out the school taxes from the elimination of
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: property taxes, you solve probably one of the biggest problems
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: in the room. But what of parks and police and
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: other things that rely on property taxes. That's where you
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: may come into a bit of a problem down the road.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: State economists have warned this is the warning you hear
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: from somebody like Governor to Wine. The plan could dig
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: a fourteen point eight billion dollar hole annually for local governments,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: critics saying that if cities lose billions in tax revenue,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: police officers and fire stations could lose staff. However, according
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: to the provision in this bill, there's a public safety
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: guarantee that cities will be legally required to fund police
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: departments at the current funding levels if they have even
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: if they have no money coming out from homeowners. So
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: think about that for a moment. You're obligated to fund police.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: We're rolling back property taxes except for schools. You local
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: government have an obligation to continue funding the police. These
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: local government looks at and says, wait a minute, how exactly,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: pointing out that if funding disappears, it often reappears someplace
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Eells local fees, assessments through utilities, or broader consumption taxes.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: So then it ultimately becomes a question of whether you
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: are ultimately going to see any real relief or you're
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: just restructuring costs. That's a legitimate point to make. The
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: money's got to come from somewhere. Now, if it's a
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: consumption tax, you can avoid that by of course not
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: consuming who among us can and consuming. So ultimately, you know,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: if you got a five thousand dollars property tax bill,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: it's now cut to twenty five hundred dollars, which is
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: going to the schools. Where does the other twenty five
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars come from? Well, obviously, maybe the consumption taxes
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: or some other assessments that each municipality will then have
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: to levy on the residents within any given community. Does
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: that mean that you know you're going to pay a
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: whole lot more in Hamilton County of US Claremont County.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe caon Clarmont Canty will raise it's more than Clahmonton County.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe within certain jurisdictions, like I live
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: in Simms Township. Is Sims Township going to start letting
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: its own taxes? I don't know. This is how the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: complicated reality unfolds. Yeah, it's complicated. Now will you vote
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: to eliminate property taxes and deal with the aftermath? Just
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: to see what happens? I wish this exercise, Well, we
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: could watch what happens in Florida. Perhaps I've better run
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: state financially, I suppose, But maybe we let somebody else
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: try it first and see how it works for them,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: and then we can sort of adjust our program to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: deal with property taxes here anyhow, six forty seven fifty

  Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to have you on. Congressman Warren
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Davidson's Good morning.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: Sir.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: Brian, It's always an honor to join you.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You were there State of the Union address.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: What was it like? What was your reaction? We can
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: talk into some of the details on it, but I
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: just want to get your initial response to it.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: Congressman Davidson, Yeah, I mean, it's always an honor to
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: be there President on the floor for the State of
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: the Union, but this one was pretty exceptional. I thought,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: you know, President Trump made a great case. I mean,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: I think the theme of the speech probably should have
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: been normal versus crazy, and he summed it up, I think,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: really succinctly when he said, you know what a difference
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: a president makes, because you know, for the most part,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: what he's done is apply existing law. People like, oh,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: we got to have different laws for everything else, and no,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: we we didn't need a different law to secure the border.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: He just applied the law and secured the border. We
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: don't need a different law to remove people from the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: United States, which Democrats are still fighting for. And have
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: the government shut down over he's just using the same
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: process and frankly the same guy, Tom Homan, to lead
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: ice and remove people who are here illegally. You look
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: at some of the things we did need a law
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: on we got done. We passed a big, beautiful bill
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: to get tax reform done, and that made it is
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: making a real difference for you know, everyday Americans. No
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: social Security. And so I think he's made a great
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: case for things that are normal, good policy things that
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: but it pivoted when he's talking about crime and partially
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: on illegal immigration and just talking about how you know,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: when a Reno's root skill was murdered in Charlotte for
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: writing public transportation. Basically this crazy, I mean, horrific crime
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: and painful to make yourself watch it and see it.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: But in about twelve seconds, this young lady's got her
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: throat slit and stabbed and dies. And you know, this
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: monster who's been repeat offenders, has let out a no bail,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: no bail and to be in a position to commit
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: the crime. And we see those kind of soft on
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: crime policies in Cincinnati, all over Hamilton, county, but you
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: go one county away. Judges aren't doing that. And so
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: these are the things and it was probably just a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: mind blowing moment for anybody watching, But it was insane
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: in the room to look at Arena Ziruzka's mother, who's
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: up there grieving her daughter and being recognized for you know,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: we're doing something about this by the President of the
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: United States. And what the Democrats were doing is sitting
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: on their hands. They wouldn't even stand for that, and
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: you know, President Trump's just like, how do you not
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: stand for that? And this is crazy? And it was
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: like that for a lot of things. I mean, I
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: was grateful they didn't stand for the hockey team and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: the two Medal of Honor winners. Those were real high
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: points and unifying things. But just you know, locally, I
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: don't think people, really, regardless of your political persuasion, are
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: unsympathetic to Arina Zerutzka's mother or the mother of someone
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: who lost their daughter, regardless of how But an illegal
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: immigrant comes in and stabs her dozens of times and
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: kills her. I mean, how do you not show sympathy
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: for that? But that's the difference Democrats. They're sitting on
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: their hands versus locally, I think everybody's looking at that
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: with a sense of outrage, like, how could this happen
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: in our country?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, not standing for a number
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: of those the points he brought up was really kind
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: of strange. Well, I mean I think that they created
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: a great campaign ads for the Republicans going in November
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: with some of their antics on the state of the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Union addresser, the ones that showed up anyway.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the other part is, you know,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: seventy your show of them, we're off doing some kind
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: of event with furres out, They're on the mall somewhere
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: doing crazy stuff. They thought that'd be a better use
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: of their time. And then one guy's get the same antics,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: you know, trying to disrupt the president and everything. So
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: he was quickly removed. But you know, it's disappointing. But yeah,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: I think, look, why would it be an effective ad
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: because I think the country, you know, these are like
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: eighty percent issues, ninety percent issues. They're not partisan issues here.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: But then you see, you know Democrats in Ohio act
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: like Ohio doesn't have voter I D for example, Well,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: you know, women in minorities and Democrats sand Republicans can
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: vote in Ohio. There's only fourteen states where you don't
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: have voter I d you know, and so but all
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: Democrats are in lockstep against the same America Act. And
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: it just shows you got to have voter ID to
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: vote already the law at Ohio and to be registered
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: to vote, you got to show you're a citizen. Well,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: pretty straight up stuff.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's already been passing the House. You guys
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: did that last year, Am I right?
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: We did it last year. We did it again this
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: year just to kind of keep the pressure on the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: Senate saying hey, please give us a vote.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I am. It was widely reported. I pointed this
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: out yesterday. We need to be lighting up Mitch McConnell's
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: phone because he's sitting on the committee and the head
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: of the committee, and he won't allow the bill to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: be advanced out of committee. So he's the hold up.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: And why why would Mitch McConnell hold the advancement of
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: that bill up over in the Senate.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: He's an anti Trump guy at this point. That's the
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: best explanation I've heard. But you know, the Thune goes
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: out and says, you know, we just don't have the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: votes to go to the real filibuster, which is you
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: get to hold floor time. I mean, it's really an
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: adaptation of the filibuster to go with the sixty vote
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: rules because they didn't want to have to sit on
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: the floor and have their time tied up. So they
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: should say, well, I would do that. Well I would
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: is different than I did, you know, right, And so
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: we're trying to make them actually use the real filibuster
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: and be on the floor and hold floor time to
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: get us a vote on that. But even if they
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: want go to have the vote on it, they have
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: a vote on cloture, which okay, isn't the same as
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: a vote on the bill. But let us know who
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: the obstructors are. Put it on the floor, Senator. So
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: then won't put it on the floor and well I
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: don't have the votes. We'll show us who where the
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: problem is.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree completely. We need to know. And
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: again this is one of the eighty twenty issues you're
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: talking about. Everybody can get a photo ID. You got
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: to have them everywhere you need it in New York
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: City to shovel snow, and we could go on add
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: nauseum about the the the ubiquitous reality of photo IDs.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: And this is the hill the Democrats want to die
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: on when we are the only developed country in the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: world that doesn't require it.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: We're also one of the only developed countries. Of course,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: the EU and Democrats are governed the same way, the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: same invasion operation to flood the country with people that
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: aren't really supposed to be here. And we have a
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: very generous way to be here legally. I won't say
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: it's a perfect way, but we have lots of I mean,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: no country brings in as many people legally as the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: United States. And frankly, even with that, we need to
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: do a better job on building an assimilation mindset. And
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: Democrats are sort of anti assimilate because they they're working
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: to tear down America. They're working to undermine this country
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: right and left, and not all Democrats, but the National Party,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: the people that are advancing the policies out there. They
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: want to tear down the United States, and they're trying
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: to do it by keeping a hyphen or an abridgement
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: or some sort of shame on the heritage of the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: United States. With four percent of the world's population, I mean,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: look at all the things that we've done. No country
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: has done more to defend freedom than the United States.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: You know, without US, no win in World War One,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: no win in World War two. The whole Korean peninsula
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: would look like North Korea. You know, terrorists would be
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: running all over the place because the Jihad would continue
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: to go unchecked. Set aside all the innovation, the industrial revolution, aviation, aerospace,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: the innovations in ag, the Internet. Fifty percent of the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: world's invested capitals invested in the United States capital markets.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: Everyone in the world wants to be here. And these
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: guys can't stop trash in America.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't even.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: Stand to say the chief duty of the United States
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: of America is to defend its citizens, not illegal aliens.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: That's that was quite hard to stand for.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: That.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: That was unbelievably revealing right there, and I think that
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: disappointed a whole lot of folks. We're going to continue
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: with Congressman War and Davids, so we'll talk about tariff
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: and the decision and the impact on that. Are we
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: going to war with Iran? Theybey have time for a
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: comment about what's going on in Mexico. It's seven to
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: fifteen right now, if you have cares the talk station,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Chimney Care, Fireplace and stuff winners not over yet talk station. Yeah,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: it's seven nineteen on a Thursday. A happy one to you,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Brent Thomas, A Congressman Warren Davidson pivoting it away from
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: the specifics of the state of the Union over to tariffs.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: I know Donald Trump was a little disappointed with the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: outcome of the Supreme Court overturning his tariff decision six
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: to three. Now come the claims of the refunds. I know.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: I saw Shared Brown, the Congressman Davidson, calling for a
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and thirty six dollars refund for every Ohio household,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: and I scratched my head over that one. Lots and
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: lots of lawsuits have been filed for the refund of tariffs.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of claims have been placed on paper. Sharon
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Brown claims, I guess each and every one of us
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: overspent by thirteen hundred and thirty six bucks. I know
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: all households do not spend equally, but clearly he's trying
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: to buy votes on that one. How is this going
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: to this bell going to be unwrung Congressman Davidson.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I think there's a huge fallacy that all of
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: Trump's tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court, and
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: that should be obvious that he took immediate action to
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: just use different authorities for some of the tariffs. There
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: was the AIPA tariffs that were passed in the seventies,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: the authority for AIPA, and they are saying, you can
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: use AIPA to turn trade on or off, but you
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: can't use it to you know, change the flow of it,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: which you know, there were seven different opinions. There's only
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: nine justices. Seven of them wrote opinions. So I think
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: the real problem is that particular law was very ambiguous
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: and President Trump read into it the maximum amount of
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: things that you could read into it. And I think
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: Gorsich made some very good points, which is, you know,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: Congress needs to pass a law, and we have passed
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: other laws that are very clear. You know, three h
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: two tariffs, two thirty two tariffs. President Trump's using those
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: to revitalize our steel industry, for example, which is essential
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: for national security, and you know, so there are things
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, nevertheless, you know, I've introduced legislation
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: that would make it clear. Look, you've got a US
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: trade representative for a reason. You can't have five hundred
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: and thirty five people negotiating with foreign countries. That's the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: job of the executive branch. But at some point Congress
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: does need to lock them in. And the example what
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: I used lately is is South Korea reached agreement with
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: President Trump on trade and tariffs, and President Trump was
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: frustrated because their legislature hasn't ratified that agreement. And you know,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: so he raised the tariffs because they weren't taking it seriously.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: They said, okay, well we're going to move it. So
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: he kind of you know, held back his announced plan
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: to raise it. But that shouldn't we be working the
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: same thing in hours And okay, fine, South Korea should
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: go first. At some point we need to lock these
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: in so that there is a sense of permanence. And
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: that's where even you know, some of the most pro
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: Trump business people I know, one of the guys I've met,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: he's like, look, our business is losing a million dollars
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: a month on tariffs. I can't keep doing this, even
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: though I completely support it. We're getting wrecked by China,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: and so I'm glad President Trump's taking the fight to them.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: And frankly, the people that are helping them, including like
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: Canada right up north, they'd rather kind of deal with
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: Shuzhupaying than President Trump. So, you know, not not helpful
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: and so. But but at some point we need to
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: get resolution and for just the benefit of our own economy.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: But as for refunds and rebates, I mean, there isn't
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: a rational way to say, oh, well, this is how
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: much you were of there.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: I know, I thought it was a laughable suggestion, just
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: obviously pandering to folks by promising the money that he's
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: not you know, they're not necessarily entitle to, right.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, but you know that's the that's the socialist
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: mindset is you t take five hundred dollars from somebody
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: that's working and give one hundred to five different people
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: that aren't, and now you get five votes.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Well, and I got to interject because we talked about
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: this earlier. I'm just disturbed, as I have been disturbed
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: by our national debt. Federal debt is you know, it's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: all about thirty five or so whatever the trillions and
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: dollars are. William Galson wrote a colum about the America's bill,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: will come do this? This is shocking all type of reality.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: This is legitimate, truly existential threat. Were already one hundred
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: percent of gross domestic product on our debt service. It's
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: going to be one hundred and twenty percent and not
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: too far down the road the way we're spending. No
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: one seems to care about this. And someone suggested we
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: need like a contract with America thing, like a new
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: gangrig style thing to promise the Americans we're going to
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: start tightening the belt so we don't dig ourselves into bankruptcy.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Congressman Davidson, this is a genuine problem on our hands.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's massive. I mean, look, that was one of
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: my first campaigntings, don't bankrupt America, And then I quickly
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: started talking about it differently. It's not compassionate to bankrupt America,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: because that's that's the path we're on. You know, sometimes
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: you can vote for a plan that spends a little
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: less money. And that's the thing I've wrestled with. Should
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: I vote for only things that balance or should I
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: vote for things that are better than the next alternative?
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: Because the momentum is to spend even more. And when
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: they can't pass something with the Republican votes, they go
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: cut a deal with Democrats to make it even worse.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: And I will say that was the promise of Doge,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: is that we were going to get after it. That's
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: why you know last June Elon Musk, you know, his
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: mind broke because it's like a computer, right, is that
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: he's like, you know, it does not compute, does not compute.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: You said, Doge, now we're doing what And you know
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: that did help make things a little better than they
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: were looking like they were going to be on spending,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: but we're certainly not doing the things to get spending
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: under control. And that is at the end of the day,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: the real driver of inflation is you know, you take
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: five trillion out every year in taxes and then you
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: add seven trillion of government spending in of course you
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: have to have inflation. You pulled five trillion out of
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: the economy, and then central planners in the government said, no,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: these are the seven trillion dollars of things that need
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: need spend money on, not your own personal decisions with
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: your own money. So you know, there are things that
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: we do need to work together to do. But they're
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: just we have we're about to suffer a fatal over
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: a's a government I fear.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: I think we're already there, Congressman Davidson, real quick, you're
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: one thing that really jumped out of me this morning,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: and sale I didn't see when I read when I
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: read this the Union, here's a statement from Trump. There
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: are already developed missiles that can threaten europe Our bases overseas,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: and they refer to the Iranians. They're working to build
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: missiles that will soon reach the United States of America,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: widely reported. Currently their missiles are about nineteen hundred mile range.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: It would take six thousand miles to reach here. Does
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: Aron really pose a threat to us as we all
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: talk about dropping bombs and engaging in war. I'm just
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go to war here, sir. I
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: don't believe Donald Trump has the authority to begin an
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: engagement where we're not directly threatened right now, because the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: Constitution says that power rests with you, sir and the
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: rest of Congress. Are we going to war? Congressman Davidson,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Where is the cries about the constitution and the authority?
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: That was one of the things I think we were
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: supposed to vote on this week, Thomas Massey and Rocana
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: introduced a war powers resolution, which is privileged, so it's
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: supposed to come up. That means it will come up
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: next week, because you know, they have so many legs
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: slight of days that you can ignore it and it
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: is ripe and this would turn off, you know, be
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: a clearer signal. I mean to the president that you
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: can't take offensive action, and the constitutions are already clear
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: on that, and yes, you can always defend the United States.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: Even Venezuela was different than this. Heause Venezuela was targeting Maduro,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: who is really leading kent Tda, not the clear leader
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: of the country. Comani has been the leader of the
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: country for generation generations. Now, you know, the system of
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: government in Iran is terrible, and I hope the people
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: free themselves of their current form of government. But for
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: the United States to take offensive action, that would be
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: the United States of America going to war, and that
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: requires a vote by Congris. Yes, and I have not
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: been given the information to feel at a position where
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: I would vote for that war yet I've asked for
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: briefings on it. And I haven't received them. So you know,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: if that resolution comes up up and I'm not giving
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: a brief thing that changes my mind. Man, I'm against
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: a war with Iran. I wouldn't want to go personally.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to send my son, So I wouldn't
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: want to send your son. Thank you, you know, and
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to send you. But I'm happy to
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: send Lindsey Graham, who can't wait to get a war
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: we're going.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: With the r in I take great comfort in hearing
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: that from you, sir, I truly do. I thank you
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: for your service to our country. I think if your
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: ongoing service to our country as Congressman Warren Davidson. I
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: appreciate your coming on the program and at least giving
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: me some assurance that at least you are not getching
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: to drop bombs on Iran at the present moment. Thank you,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: sir for what you do. I look forward to having
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: you back on the program really soon.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: Thanks Brian GeV bless you and all your listeners.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: And you seven twenty seven right now, signal ninety nine
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: ready to go? What about the fire desks? Why is
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: up on her site on Facebook? I recommend you follow
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: her if you care about matters going on and the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: shenanigans going on around downtown Cincinnati or Cincinnati generally speaking,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: the person to follow is a Signal ninety nine. She's
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: got the feed from all the people with the inside scoop,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: she's got whistleblowers, and she'd always brings the goods with
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: her to support the allegation she makes online. Welcome back
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine. I wish you were here, but I
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: understand that what you weren't able to make it. But
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: it's okay because you're right there on the phone.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: Good morning. Yeah, I was kind of icky this morning
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: and I thought I didn't have a voice actually when
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: I called Joe at like one point thirty this morning.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 6: So it's slowly coming back, but just letting you know.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: I love Congressman Davidson.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: I know, and.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: I have a list of people that I would love
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: to send to Iran, but we could talk about that later.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: I think we all have our list. It wouldn't take
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: long for me to fill out quite a few eight
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: and a half by eleven sheets of paper with people
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: that like to go there, experience what life's like under
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: the I tool, and then come back here and be
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: thankful that we live in America. Anyway, I tell you what,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: I could just go into any of the various topics
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: of some of them, which I rattled off before the break,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: but I kind of want to make a dealer's choice.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: What's really hot on your your radar right now? Signal
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: ninety ninety, you want to talk about here on the
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 6: Well, can we start with the Cincinnati Fire Department? Yeah,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: let's do that, Okay, So let me just preface this
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 6: by saying, we love the Cincinnati Fire Department. These these
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: men and women do a phenomenal job every single day,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 6: and we're grateful for them. But you know, I don't
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 6: know if you caught the video of the Public Safety
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: Committee meeting a couple of days ago with Chief McKinley
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: answering questions, but I can't count the pinocchios. Okay. There
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: were so many pinocchios and his answers that I got
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 6: a little bit feral. So I had to do a
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 6: screen recording of that and post it, and I think
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 6: I wrote like a novella about it, calling out everything
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: that he misrepresented. It's insanity to me that he thinks
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 6: nobody's going to fact check this well and me crazy?
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that was going to be my question, which is, okay,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: beyond the general accusations of basically lies, pinocchio is of
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: course translated into lies, that person spoke, misspoke, or said
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: the wrong thing. Why would anyone do that? What to
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: what end would someone lie? In what particular context? Would
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: would it? Would you think it would benefit him to
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: say something that is demonstrably false.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: Well, you know a lot of leaders get away with
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: it every day, Brian. If if they didn't do it,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 6: we probably wouldn't have much content on our page. Actually,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 6: I mean we'd have some means and you know, some
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: touchy feely stuff, but calling him out, blowing them up,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: we wouldn't have that much. If people told the truth
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: and were transparent and had actual integrity, Okay, I would
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: probably be boring.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: That is fair enough. I'll tell you what possible we'll
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: bring back. We'll talk about some of the details about
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: which the Chief McKinley well prevaricated on, along with a
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: whole bunch more, including the antics involving Judge Carry Bloom
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: and Connie hamil Kenny prosecutor Connie Pillage, that one's crazy
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: signal and I'm looking forward to that discussion as well.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: Folks can stick around. We'll continue with signal ninety nine.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I'll start with foreign Exchange, where I'm going to be
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: about KRCD talk station signal ninety nine on the program
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: this morning, talking about local. But I like to call
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: Shenanigan before we pivot away from Chief McKinley in his
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: testament of the other day, what did he lie about specifically?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: They got you hot and bothered Dave Signal ninety nine.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: Okay, Well, when Scotti Johnson asked him, Hey, how are
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: you How are we doing with personnel? Are we fine
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: or do we have a lot of you know, work
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 6: ahead of us as far as the compliment, the compliment
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 6: as the number did you need to have to operate safely.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Like the police, We don't have a We don't have
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: a full compliment of police officers. There you go, same
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: thing going on in the fire department, maybe correct.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: So you know their complement is down. And McKinley said,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: oh no, you know, Cheryl Long and I have discussed
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: this and me and Sheryl Long and we're fine. Where
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: we're at fine, he said, We're fine that's an exact what.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 6: We're fine. We're not fine. We're not anywhere close to fine.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: They're running overtime on medic units. They've taken five medic
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 6: units and broke them down to be basic life support
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: instead of advanced life support because they don't have enough
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: paramedics to staff them. He lied about adding a second
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 6: heavy rescue. That's not true. That was added under Chief
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 6: Michael Washington years ago, long before Wu Tang Frank blew
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: into Cincinnati. And I don't know if you know the
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: Wu Tang reference, but he's a big Wu Tang fan.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: And his license plate says Wu Tang Won on it,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 6: I think is what it was or eleven. Yeah, so yeah,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 6: so I call him Wu Tang Frank. He probably does
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 6: not like that, but I probably don't lose any sleep
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 6: over that.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: I know you don't.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he just you know, he just lied about
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: so many things, and I broke them all down in
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: the post on Signal ninety nine, and I actually I listened,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 6: I watched the whole thing, and then I went, Okay,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 6: this is an accurate. This is an accurate. This is
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: an accurate. This is an accurate. So I reached out
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 6: to some of my CFD homides uh, and I said, hey,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 6: can we confirm this is not correct? And yeah, checked him,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 6: checked him all off, right down the line. Boom boom,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: boom boom. So got a bunch of facts to back
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 6: that up. The previous in twenty I believe it's twenty
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 6: twenty three, Chief Washington asked that smoke detectors and batteries
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 6: be put in the running budget to be continual every year,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: and city managers share along told them that's not possible.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: We don't have the money for that. But now that
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: fire fatalities are up five hundred percent this year alone,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: now we have the money for that. So that's interesting
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: to me when you know, if we'd had the money
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 6: for that last year and the year before, the people
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: may have had smoke detectors that worked this year.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: So you know, they're talking about providing now three smoke
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: detectors and batteries to what all the residents of the
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati signal.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: Who needs them? Yeah, yeah, the residents that need them,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: and the CFT installs them so they make sure that
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 6: they're installed properly, that they're working when they leave. They
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: also do safety. These are all things that the city's
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: provided for a very long time when they have the
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: budget that allows that. Now, all of a sudden, we
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 6: have the budget for it. I find that interesting. But
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 6: I do have I have five questions that I would
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 6: love for the media to ask the city and the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 6: Chief of the CFT how much money has CFD spent
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 6: on smoke detectors in fiscal years twenty twenty four, twenty
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 6: twenty five, and twenty twenty six, respectively. Question two, how
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: many smoke detectors were actually installed? Question three? Which neighborhoods
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: were they installed? In? Question four, which funding source did
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 6: the money come from? And question five, my favorite, can
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: you provide copies of purchase orders buying said detectors and
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: batteries that are dated and signed by a procurement official
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: for twenty four, twenty five, and twenty twenty six. So
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: those are the questions I'm throwing out there right now
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: to Chief McKinley and to share along. Cough it up.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: If everything you're saying is true, us show us the receipts.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, I'm still struggling with a concept smoke
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: detectors and life saving they are, you know, as someone
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: who would be worried about a fire and would like
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: to have their life saved. I think I would probably
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: be able to find the fifteen twenty bucks that you
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: need to go to the home depot and buy a
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: damn smoke detector on your own. I mean, that's not
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: out of the reach of the vast majority of the
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: people in the world. And I would think just you know,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: logic and common sense would dictate you might want to
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: put that pretty high in your your your allocation to
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: funds list. But just that we actually buy and pay
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: for smoke detectors and batteries regularly for folks, I'm sorry,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: I just struggle with that conceptually.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 6: Well, you got to understand there's a lot of grants
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 6: out there that cover that type of stuff. Be in
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: the size that the city is. I'm sure they have
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 6: several grant writers. They could be getting all that money
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 6: for free. So they probably also have deals with manufacturers
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 6: that they could make buy in bulk amounts of smoke
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 6: detectors and batteries. I mean, there's all kinds of things
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 6: that they could do. The most important thing for me
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: is they knew about this winter storm that was coming. Yes,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 6: we all knew, we all knew about the Arctic temperatures
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: that were coming. Most cities will open warming shelters for
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 6: the people that have no power or have no home
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 6: right okay, to the people that can't afford to heat
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: their homes. Most cities will offer those tip proof, childproof
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: space heaters. So you might have to put all the
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 6: family in one bedroom and turn a space heater on
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: because you're only going to get one. But it's better
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 6: than turning your oven on and leaving it open and
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: burning your house down. Call me crazy. We have to
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: anticipate that that's going to happen every winner when we
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 6: get into those frigid temperatures. That's common sense. Everybody knows that,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 6: and especially people in the fire industry.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: That makes perfect sense. I hear where you're coming from.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: And oh, look, fatalities are up dramatically just this beginning
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: of the calendar year, almost as many as a full
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: calendar year last year, Signal ninety nine. Let's pause, bring
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: you back. I want to talk to you about what
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: happened with the prosecutor's Linda Scott and Judge Carrie Bloom
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: and Connie Pillach's reaction to the whole situation. This is
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: going to blow a lot of people's minds. I do
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: believe against station seven ififty five krc DE talk station
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: signal ninety nine in the program, and let's putting over
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: to the Prosecutor's office and Judge Carrie Bloom, and of
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: course assistant Prosecutor Linda Scott. Linda Scott, doing her job
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: as assistant prosecutor, appealed a ruling from Judge Carry Bloom,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: and she had a backtive field apparently appealed quite a
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: few of these different rulings. It's what you do. If
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: there's a bad he believed there's a bad decision, you
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: appeal it to the higher court. In many cases, apparently
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Linda Scott won on appeal, which apparently irked Judge Carrie Bloom,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: who accused her of being adversarial. That was the accusation.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: And then, as I understand it, signal ninety nine Connie
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: Pilach got involved. And is it true that she transferred
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: Linda Scott to a different division after this interaction.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 6: So last year Administrative Juvenile Court Judge Carrie Bloom said
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: she didn't want Linda Scott in her courtroom anymore because
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: there was an adversarial relationship well, no, there wasn't. She
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 6: was just tired of losing and having her decisions overturned
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: at the appellate level. So that didn't happen. Bloom continued
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 6: to harp about it, continue to harp about it. So
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: a couple of days ago, Pillage approached uh and I
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 6: call her the con Okay, I called Connie Pillage the Cohn.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 6: She approached Linda Scott. She said, hey, we're transferring you
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: to one of these two divisions and you have to choose,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: and you have two days to decide, and if you don't,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 6: we're going to let you go. And she said, I
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 6: don't have any experience in these divisions, and why am
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: I being pennised for, you know, basically doing my job.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 6: It was just yeah, it was just put to her. Period,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: You're you're not going back into you know, to juvenile court.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: So here's your choices. You have two days. Well, then
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: yesterday another assistant prosecutor struck up a conversation with Linda
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: Scott and told her, well, I think you did cause
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: a additarial relationship in juvenile court. And Linda Scott said,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 6: how do you figure?
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 6: I did my job right, you know? She she does
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: these inappropriate rulings and the appellate court agreed with me.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: Well, she wait real quick here in terms of the
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: organizational structure, the Linda Scott, the prosecutor that appealed these
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: decisions in her eye, and of course the appellate Court's
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: eyes were inappropriate and overturned. Doesn't she work under Connie
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: Pillach Yes, she does, Okay, now, paus paus. That means
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: either Connie Pillage knew that these appeals were being filed
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: or tacitly approved them because of inaction. She didn't direct
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: Linda Scott to not appeal the decisions. All of this
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: happened under her operational watch.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 6: Correct, absolutely, okay, absolutely, you're right. So then after this
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: conversation happened between these two assistant Bronskures, which did not
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 6: get heated. There was no unprofessional dialogue. This other assistant
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 6: prosecutor went to HR and claimed that Linda Scott was
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: disrespectful and unprofessional, and they fired her yesterday. She didn't
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 6: get a hearing, she didn't get any recourse whatsoever. They
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: just fired her. So I hope she's got a good attorney.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, I know she's a great attorney, but I
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 6: hope she gets an attorney. And as much as I'm
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 6: tired of paying taxes out through the nose because the
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 6: county wrote a check they can't cash with the Bengals, okay,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 6: I'm willing to pay more taxes for her to see
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: the hell out of the county. So I'm just going
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 6: to say that, well, I hope she does.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: And this sounds to me remarkably similar to the other
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: lawsuits for fighting right now will be fighting Lisa in
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: so far as the on leave chief of police. There's
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: no support for the termination. There's no demonstrable misconduct on
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: the job here. I mean to the extent she had.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 6: A conversation he said if she said, she said, and
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 6: they they didn't even give her a chance. But boop gone.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: But this allegation of disrespect and unprofessionalism comes between. It
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: was was based on a discussion between two prosecutors. It
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: was correct, sort of like a side conversation that only
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: tangentially even related to the job of being a prosecutor,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: which does include appealing decisions from judges.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 6: Correct, Oh lord, that was yeah, yeah, it's crazy. So
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 6: I'm just letting you know right now. You know, when
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 6: Judge Wendy Krost tells Connie Pillars which who could jump
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 6: through she jumped when Judge carry Bloom or Judge Silverstein
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 6: or Judge Brand or Judge Hathaway tell her to jump
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 6: Connie Pillet's jumps. She is doing the bidding of these judges.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: They are more concerned with being social workers than they
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 6: are being judges. And it's ridiculous because the two offices
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: should not be working together like that. No, it's a conflict,
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 6: a huge conflict. And I can tell you right now,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 6: with Carrie Bloom on the bench and now Linda not
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: in juvenile court anymore, there's not going to be any
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: more appeals on Bloom's bad decisions. There's not going to
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: be any waves whatsoever. It's going to be whatever Bloom wants.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: It's going to be business as usual. And pill It's
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 6: is going to bend the knee because she's terrified of
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: these judges. And that's a problem, Brian, that's a huge problem.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it's misplaced terror, it's misplaced terror. Hell does she
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: have to be worried about judges? They don't control whether
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: or not she's elected. We do.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 6: Well, now she thinks she's going to get primaried if
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: she doesn't bend the knee. So I'm just going to
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: say this. Carrie Bloom is up for reelection this year,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 6: and Susan Lucan is running against her. So if you
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 6: live in Hamlet the county and you want to actually
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 6: see justice happen in juvenile court, I highly suggest you
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 6: vote for Susan Lucatt. There's an endorsement and give and
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 6: so Carrie Bloom the door.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: There's an endorsement. We'll have more of these endorsements as
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: we get closer and closer in November. Reminding everyone the
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: importance of knowing before you walk into the ballot or
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: walk into a casture vote. Please have a great understanding
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: of which judges are good and which ones you do
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: not want on the bench. Pause will bring signal ninety
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: nine back. After the top of the our news, a
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: few more things talk about, including Kevin Neary's murderer going free,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: among others. Don't go away.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: Today's top headlines coming up at the top of the hour.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: These changes every minute fifty.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: Five krz the talk station, This Sweeptain, He'll five I
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: give out cars the talk station. Brian Thoms switch never
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: on a very Happy third day, Slash Friday Eve, and
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: I am enjoying as I always do my conversations with
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine. If you're not familiar with her work,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: go to Facebook and search for signal ninety nine and
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: follow her antics online. Rub people the wrong way quite often,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: but quite often bringing things to our attention, like this
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: situation involving Prosecutor Pillage, a judge Carry Bloom and assistant
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor Scott. So you summed it up real quickly here
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: just to put an exclamation point Signal ninety nine on
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: the prior topic before we went in to break as
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: you summed up in your reporting on this. If elected,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor Pillage is allowing judges to dictate staffing decisions based
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: upon whether they feel challenged. Than the independence of the
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: office is compromise. If she's permitting reassignment in this case
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Prosecutor Scott, reassignment or termination which she was terminated because
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: a judge dislikes appellate pushback, then the separation between the
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: bench and the prosecution is eroding in plain sight. In
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: other words, Connie Pillage, which is supposed to prosecute crimes
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: and make sure that judges render appropriate decisions requiring prosecutors
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: to appeal those decisions. You're right, there is no more
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: real this fundamentally just there's gonna be no more prosecutions apparently,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine. All judge has to do. That's one
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: of these woke judges, and you outline a whole bunch
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: of them Bloom, Cross, Hathaway, Silverstein, Branch. They're just going
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: to get their way all the time, knowing full well
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: that nothing's going to be appealed. We're gonna have a
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: lot of really bad decisions enshrined in criminal law here,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and we're seeing it, We've been seeing it,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 6: and now it's only going to get worse because once
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: Connie Pilots took off this, he got rid, immediately got
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 6: rid of a ton of veteran prosecutors that were worth
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 6: their weight in gold, and then a whole bunch more
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 6: fled because they did not want to work for her.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: So let me ask you that, what's the first case
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 6: Kannie Pillot's ever prosecuted herself? Ran know never, No, she
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 6: just recently showed up.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: Oh she she finally.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 6: Did for Jacob Goodwin. But she only showed up because
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 6: a reporter that talked to me at four o'clock in
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: the morning, called Sharon Coolidge, her PIO, and said, hey,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 6: you guys aren't even put in a notice that you're
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 6: going to appear on this. Are you not going to
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: appear on this? All the media is going to be there. Well,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 6: Connie Pillets said, oh my god, all the media is
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 6: going to be there. I better go, I better go,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 6: and we better you know, deny this. We better fight
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 6: this early release request. So she did. That's the only
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 6: case Connie Pilots has ever prosecuted in her life.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: Well, sadly, the voters knew that when they elected her.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: Isn't that a shocking reality? I mean it was widely circulated.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: I mean she did have a challenger for prosecutors, widely known.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: I knew it at the time. She was not an
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: experienced prosecutor. She didn't have the requisite experien one would
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: expect someone who's running for that office to have.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 6: No, and she doesn't have the experience to stay in
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: the office. Because right now everything's a plea deal. Everything's
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 6: a plea deal. I'm I'm not going to call her
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 6: the com anymore. I'm going to rename her the Princess
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: and the plea. So she just she she can't handle
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 6: the responsibility that the office demands. She's afraid to go
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 6: to trial. She's afraid to lose. She doesn't want to
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 6: take that loss. She's terrified she's not going to be
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 6: endorsed for reelection. So right now it's all about just
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 6: take the plea. Take the plea. The problem is a
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 6: lot of these plea deals are murders.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 8: Yes they're murders.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 6: Well, okay, so they.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: Got problem cause they got an indictment. The guys in
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: front of a judge, Presumably they have sufficient evidence to
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: convince a jury or the try of fact, the judge
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: that the guilty on a reasonable doubt. You don't have it.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: You don't have it, I mean, but you've got to
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: move forward and try people. Sometimes you don't get a
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: guilty verdict, sometimes not guilty. That goes with the territory.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: There's some really damn good defense attorneys out there that
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: can create the illusion even of reasonable doubt in the jury.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: It happens. So you lost one, but you got to
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: move forward with it.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: Exactly. And look, I mean I look at the case
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 6: with Kevin Neary.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I always wanted to talk about that, So
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: that's a good pivot point.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin Neary murdered, literally murdered by Earl Jones, which, oh,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 6: by the way, sidebar I got two death threats this
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 6: week from Kevin Nary fans. So and then I got
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 6: a couple of people just squawking about how how wrong
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 6: I was about the post. But I truly enjoyed the
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 6: death threats from Earl Jones's loved ones and homies, so
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 6: keep them coming because they don't bother me. But anyways,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 6: Kevinnary gets murdered. The jury finds him, finds Earl Jones guilty,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 6: and they give him life without parole, okay, And he
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 6: keeps appealing, keeps appealing, keeps appealing, he keeps losing his appeals.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 6: He comes up now, just this month and Toohnnie's fine
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 6: with the plea deal. Let's just give him eighteen years
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 6: and let's give him time served. So he's got eight
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 6: more years to do on murder, on a racially motivated,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 6: premeditated murder. I'm sorry, eighteen years isn't enough, and eight
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 6: more years is certainly not enough. It's ridiculous to me.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 6: And she goes into this big dietribe of about how
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 6: the laws have changed, and you know it would be
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: hard to get another conviction. No, it wouldn't. You have
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 6: all of the evidence that came through the first time
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 6: at trial. You still out the witnesses, You've still got
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 6: the detective. I mean, come on, it's just a lame
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 6: excuse for I don't want to take a chance and
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 6: lose and look like the inep prosecutor that I am.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 6: That's what it's all about. Huh, she's a sinking shit, Brian.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, what was that? Hold on? I just had to
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: hit the dump button on you.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 6: On me.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: Didn't you say the S word?
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 6: No, I said, she's a sinking shit.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: Oh well, then I inadvertently it's you know, it's better
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: to be safe than sorry signal ninety nine, because I
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: had someone very recently literally use the S word on
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show, which I can't I can't abide. So
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: my apologies for folks out there like what happened. So
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: I just deleted about a minute's worth of your commentary
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: leading up to what I thought was in an inappropriate
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: word use. And I know you well enough that I
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have just sort of defaulted to hearing that but
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: in these days with modern discourse, quite often people sprinkle
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: their language with saucy FCC non compliant language. That was
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: what I thought was going on there. So my apologies
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: to you for that.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 6: That's okay. I would never do that to you.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: I know you wouldn't. But then again, that's like I said,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: my reaction is to hit it in a minute. I
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: suspect something's been has gone awry here. But what was
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: the I mean, the Neary family pleaded with the judge
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: not to grant the plea deal, so they were upset
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: about it. What was the predicate for sort of unringing
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: the bell of a lifetime conviction? Was evidence? With hell?
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: What was the basis upon which they did that?
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 6: No, they you know, they tried to say that the
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 6: self defense laws had changed. You got to remember he
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 6: murdered this This nineteen year old kid, jumped in his
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 6: car that was idling with the door open waiting for him,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 6: drove off and called nine one one and said, hey,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 6: I just shot somebody in self defense. Well, the jury
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 6: saw through that, the detective saw through that, everybody thought
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 6: through it. So this time around, Connie Post says, well,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 6: you know, with some of the changes in our laws
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 6: with self defense. It would be hard to prove, you know,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 6: that it was murdered. No, it wouldn't. You still have
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 6: the text messages, you still have all the witnesses of
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 6: you know, Kevin Neary's workplace where Earl Jones showed up
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 6: and tried to fight him and try to get him fired.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 6: You you know, there's all these things, there's all this evidence.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 6: It was it was a solid case, and they did
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 6: their jobs and they put this guy where he belonged,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 6: life without parole. But Connie Pillach she didn't want to
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 6: She didn't want to gamble that. She doesn't want to
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 6: take that loss. So she wasn't willing to risk it.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 6: And and this isn't the first homicide she's done this
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 6: on we're seeing a consistency in her pleating down serious felonies. Why,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, look at Elwood Joan, she didn't even try.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 6: We go back against Belwick Films. So you know, was
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 6: this lat murderers walk free and give lifetime without parole murderers,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 6: you know, eight more years to do and they'll be
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 6: young enough when they get out to kill somebody else
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 6: if they want to. It just it boggles my mind.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess I would want to know in what
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: way the laws Ohio self defense statutes have changed the
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: fact that it would impact this particular case. She did
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: not articulate or explain specifically what she meant by that,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: saying only Ohio self defense statutes have changed, and the
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: new provisions will make it more difficult to secure a
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: new conviction against Earl Jones. What's specifically changed? Given all
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: the witnesses and the specifics of the underlying fact set.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how any change in the self defense
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: so I might modify the outcome in front of a jury.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 6: It wouldn't. That's the whole point. It wouldn't. The whole
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 6: thing is a big smoke show. It's like, oh no,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 6: you don't understand. You know, we had to do this
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 6: to ensure we could put them away for eight more years.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 6: First of all, who came up with eighteen years?
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 6: Second of all, what about the judge. The judge didn't
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 6: have to give him eighteen years.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: She could have said, no, right, right, right, right right?
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: That is an important thing them time served. Yeah, that
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: is an important point. The judges do not have to
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: agree with anything necessarily the prosecutor or the defendant entered
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: into They have their own discretion in that regard. She
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: could have said, no, it's twenty, or it's you know,
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: thirty or whatever. I mean, that's the judicial discretion.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 6: He also didn't have to give them time served. Why
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 6: did she give them time served? Judge Talent gave them
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 6: time served?
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 6: Why? I mean, who does this benefit? Certainly not the victim,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 6: not the family of the victim, not society. I mean,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 6: I just can't wrap my head around it, Brian.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: I can't either. I can't either. Well, we'll get one
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: more segment with you Signal ninety nine here this morning
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five Caresseige Morning Show, and I'll look
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: forward to that.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 4: Stick around right back fifty five KRC.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: It's eighteen here for about kerc Dee Talk station. Ryan
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: Thomas was signal ninety nine again. Facebook's a place to
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: find Signal ninety nine of the things that she reports
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: and rites on which we're talking about here this morning,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: mostly involving well, like I said, I like to call
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: it shenanigans, but I'm just I'm still swirling and reeling
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: from that whole Connie Pillag terminating the prosecutor for literally
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: no reason Linda Scott no longer has a job because
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: apparently she didn't get along with one of her fellow
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: prosecutors had a disagreement of about peeling poor judicial rulings
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: side nine nine. I didn't realize we had an obligation
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: for the function of the prosecutor's office to actually always
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: get along with people we work with. Anyway, we got
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: three people cited this involving the Hamilton County courthouse chaos
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: melee fight broke out, and I worked there for a
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: long time when I was younger, and I don't recall
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: this ever happening. Is this become a common because I know,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: I think that the judges are asking for more security
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: in the courthouse. What's the backstory on this? And where's
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: your Shenanigan's declaration coming from on this one's signal by nine?
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 6: Okay, first, they need to preface something by telling you
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 6: one of my screen names on Facebook is Sena Anagan.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so there's that, you know, after my original account
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 6: got banned. But I just thought that's funny. So people
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 6: call me Shenanigans they used to perfect So this is
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 6: not new. This is something that's been happening more and
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 6: more frequently. You know, the courthouse clears out, they start
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 6: fighting in the hallways, and pretty much nobody holds them accountable.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 6: And I'm going to tell you something. I understand tensions
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 6: are high when you have the victims' family and you
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 6: have the descendant's family and they're all, you know, looking
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 6: hard at each other and they're all upset. I nobody
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 6: understands that better than people that work within the criminal justices,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 6: and they understand it. However, it's unacceptable to become violent. Well,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 6: silence is never the answer. You don't get a free path.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 6: And I'll tell you something else, that these judges would
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 6: start holding every single one of them and contempt and
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 6: throwing them in for thirty days. That would stop immediately, immediately.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 6: And you know, people keep reporting no officers were injured.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 6: That's not true. That's not true at all. There were
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 6: several officers and deputies that were hit. There was a
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 6: CPD officer that had to file a work comp claim.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 6: So wherever they're getting their information, which I saw a
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 6: spokesperson say that no officers were injured, that's not true.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I read this morning that three people and one
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: juvenile were cited for disorderly conduct involving that melee. None
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: of them were cited for assaulting a police officer.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 6: Well, here's the thing, why were they cited at all? Well, no,
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: they should have just immediately been sent straight to jail
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 6: or juvenile for contempt.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: At court agreed that would be a great remedy and
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: it would serve as an illustration anybody else who might
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: consider fighting that you were going to go straight to
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: the jail, do not pass go. That would abeviate some
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: of the need to add additional law enforcement personnel if
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: you have very strict judges. And this was done in
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: the presence of law enforcement, wasn't it. I mean, weren't
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: there like officers or SHARE's deputies right there.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 6: Well, i'll tell you all county broadcasts went out that
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 6: officers needed assistance, So everybody went, I mean, CPD went,
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 6: all the Sheriff's office went. There were several officers in
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 6: court from CPD. There were several detectives, there were court
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 6: services people that are in playing clothes, and there were
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 6: you know, deputies in uniform. Of course. Yeah, I know
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 6: that other courtrooms were affected by it because their deputies
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 6: had to secure the prisoner that they had in the
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 6: courtroom at the time so that they could go help.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 6: So other courtrooms were affected by it as well. It
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 6: wasn't just Judge Wickler's courtroom, it was several courtrooms were affected.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 6: So this behavior is not okay. It should not be condoned.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 6: And you want to nip it in the butt, like,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 6: stop this because it's become common. It's happened several times
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 6: over the last year. Just put a stop to it.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, but you got to pivot over to
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: the criminal justice system at large. That's the point. People
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: need to be punished when they commit crimes. If you
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: stop punishing people and when they commit crimes, guess what
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: word gets out. This is a soft on crime County.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: You can get away with it. Look what Connie Pillach
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: is doing or not doing. Look what these liberal judges
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: are doing or not doing, as the case may be. Yes,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: we need to stop this, and the way you stop
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: it is get tough on it. That's how the criminal
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: justice system works. Whether it's people fighting in the courtroom, Hey,
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: you know ahead of time you're gonna get sent to
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: jail or that. You know, if you punch somebody or
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: shoot somebody, you know you're gonna do a hard stretch
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: of time. That's the penalty you pay. Let the word
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: get out.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 6: Well yeah, but right now, you know Cincinnati crime pays.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 6: You don't do You don't do serious time unless you
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 6: killed somebody. Well even then do you might get a
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 6: plea deal for eighteen years.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 3: Who knows?
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: You know what else? You know what else pays Sign
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: ninety nine. Being in a in a position of leadership,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: like if you're police chief, that's gonna pay. Like if
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: you're the fire chief, that's gonna pay. Or if you
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: were a prosecutor who was dismissed because well they just
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: didn't get along, that's gonna pay too.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 6: Hmm yeah, imagine that. I'll be lawsuits flying around and
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 6: more to come. I guarantee you this is just the beginning.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 6: Oh you know, yes, it's just going to keep continuing.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: And the sad thing is that there are several judges
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 6: up for reelection this year, really hard left leaning judges
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 6: that care more about social work than they do about justice,
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 6: and they're running unopposed. They're going to be re elected. So,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know what Hamilton County is doing,
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 6: but they're not running anybody against these judges. And of
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 6: course it's too late now. But what is happening like
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 6: we're just going to give up, We're just going to
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 6: say this is it. We're just going to have to
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 6: live with, you know, lawlessness forever because we're just turning
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 6: everything over to the extremely far left. I'll tell you something,
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 6: I don't have a problem with Democrats. I can't stand
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 6: the far left and I can't stand the far right. Yeah,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 6: there's no room for them in criminal justice. I'm sorry, there's.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: Just not well. You know what's frightening is it's either
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: one there's a failure part leadership. And this is a
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: county thing here, right, we're talking about These are judges
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: that are voted on the entire county. You stand a
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: better chance as a conservative or Republican or somebody who
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: might make it on the pink slip in the county
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: more so than the city. But if it's not just
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: party leadership, can't go out. And maybe it's maybe it's
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: that nobody with the laws a law degree wants to
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: even bother running for judge because they face the criticism,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: they face death threats, they face crazy people beating each
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: other up in the courtroom. You know, what I wouldn't
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: sign up for that job Signal ninety nine. And maybe
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: that's the sorry state of affairs we found ourselves in
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County, that it's gone full woke. The woke people
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: aren't going to get attacked. The Conservatives are people tough
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: on crime, are ergo? No one wants to do that role.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: You think there's anything connected with that signal ninety nine
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: or is just for want of party leadership to get
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: people rounded up and to run for these uncontested positions.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll answer that in a second. The saddest thing
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 6: for me is that many of these judges, prosecutors, shariffs,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 6: city council members, mayor they pander to the black community.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 6: They make all these promises and they use the black
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 6: community to get themselves elected and re elected, and then
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 6: you know what happens, nothing crickets. Who are the people
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 6: being victimized the hardest by violent crime in Hamta County
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 6: and in the City of Cincinnati. I'll tell you it's
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 6: the black community all day long. You know, these communities,
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 6: it's not their fault. I mean, nobody told them, hey,
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 6: if you keep voting this judge and nothing's going to
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 6: happen to these criminals when they come through the court.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 6: It's just it's tragic to me that people don't understand
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 6: that elections have comforts. And I don't want to become
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 6: Chicago and I don't want to become Portland. You know,
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 6: it's just common sense. What they're doing doesn't work, So
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 6: stop letting them do it.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: Full stop, exclamation point in bold and cavs Sigle ninety nine.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your time on the show this morning. And
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: confirmation from someone I know is in the know. They
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: can't find folks to run Sadly, I know this firsthand,
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: so maybe that is the sad reality we're living with.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: We can't find tough on crime judges to even run
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: that scary stuff. Standpoint love. Haven't I heart media aviation
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: expert Jay Ratlifton. At this time every week, we got
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: some great things to talk about. Welcome back to Jay
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: ratlift my friend. It's always a pleasure to have you
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: on the program.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 8: Pleasant good morning to you. It's always always fun to
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 8: be here.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to start with the late edition add on.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: There is it pronounced joby, yes, joby aviation, joby aviation,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: which is kind of a weird name. I'm considering what
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: happened to job as in the Book of Job. Not
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: quite sure. It's a great thing to do. Considering also
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: the mechanism of air travel we're talking about here, which
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: is an all electric air tax see that you can
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: you can summoned via uber. This is an amazing development
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: and you certainly conceptualize that this might happen. But are you,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: let me start out, are you inclined to even get
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: into a Jobe all electric air taxi for a spin jay?
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 8: Well, it's gonna be. It's gonna be, it's gonna be
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 8: a short trip. It's gonna have a certified pilot at
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 8: the controls. So yeah, if that individual is willing to
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 8: be in there, I guess I could too. And yeah,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 8: they rolled it out at the the Buyer Show they
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 8: had Joby Aviation. It's now you can get uber air.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 8: It's gonna be on your device, you can actually have that.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 8: They're talking about carrying the first passengers later this year,
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 8: and it's gonna be uh in the I believe it'll
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 8: be in the United Emirates. It's going to take place.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 8: And this is something that that we've seen coming for
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 8: some time. And again the idea of electric aviation has
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 8: all kinds of issues slash concerns to me. But the
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 8: thing is it's for short hops there they're talking about this.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 8: This is something that's going to allow people to be
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 8: shuttled back and forth to the airports into other places,
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 8: and it's going to you know, alleviate the just the
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 8: maddening commute that so many people have in certain regards.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 8: And yeah, it's gonna be expensive, I'm sure to begin with.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 8: And there's gonna be a lot of things that are
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 8: gonna have to come into play to make this feasible.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 8: But Brian, imagine going out to your driveway little air
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 8: uber lands, you jump in it. You just you know,
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 8: you just look at the traffic that that Chuck and
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 8: all of them are talking about down there on the
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 8: interstate and you land and go to work. I mean, yeah,
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 8: it's something that would be really really nice to see.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 8: And look, ever, since the Jetsons is shit, I've been
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 8: waiting on this.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say the Jetsons. This sounds exact like
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: the Jetsons.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 8: But how do I have to get before that becomes like,
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 8: you know, a reality?
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: You know, That's the thing burning in the back of
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: my mind on one of these. You know, I think
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: initially of well, the the battery is going to run
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: out of juice, and what do you do if that happens?
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: But I presume they have some sort of safety measures
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: where the thing will land before the battery plunks out
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But have they solved that pesky problem of
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: batteries just suddenly combusting. Jay would be a real problem
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: with five thousand feet.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 8: I don't know that these are lithium battery power. That
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 8: would be a big issue for me. But you know,
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 8: the thought is that for two hundred miles I'm sorry,
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 8: two hundred miles an hour, and I think these things
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 8: can go up about a hunder miles on a single charge.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 8: You know, they're going to have lots of leadway there,
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 8: and obviously we want redundant or backup systems as well.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 8: And this is something that they're talking about. You know,
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 8: once it's established, we're going to see it here in
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 8: the United States. I don't know where, and I don't
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 8: know when, and I don't know what the cost will be.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 8: I just think it's going to be super cool on
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 8: my Uber app, whether I use it or not. There
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 8: to Sherry and I were in Las Vegas and we
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 8: were getting an Uber and there's a little box you
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 8: could check if you wanted a driverless car. And I
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 8: thought cool, and Cherry said, don't check that box. I'm
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 8: not getting in that car. I'm like, just up and
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 8: down the strip. I just for one no, no, So
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 8: you know, I deferred to my beautiful wife. I should say,
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 8: that's fine. Had it been me by myself, I had
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 8: to check that box, and I wouldn't have stopped until
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 8: some car pulled up they didn't have a driver.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. I'm with your wife on that one too. Okay,
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: so we'll let the Saudi's worked the kinks in the
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: armor out of this particular uber appen in the flying taxis.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: But question if this does come to the United States,
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: and I've seen recently that you can already put an
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: order in for your own forty thousand dollars personal aircraft.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: This does not require an aviation license, this kind of thing.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: The FAA is going to be all over this in
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: terms of regulating it, won't it.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 8: They're going to need to be. But I remember when
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 8: the drones descended upon us, and the FAA was kind
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 8: of behind as far as getting the registration and the
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 8: rules and everything up and running for those and you know,
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 8: the idea of a totally automated air taxi or an
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 8: your taxi with a pilot in it, I am totally
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 8: okay with your dollars. You know, experimental vehicle that doesn't
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 8: require a pilot's license that anybody could jump in and
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 8: go in. That to me is is just horrific in
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 8: a lot of different areas. And I think it also,
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 8: you know, adds a certain security issue with it as well.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 8: You know, some guy starts drinking and says, hey, let's
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 8: go over and check out the Bengals game. We don't
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 8: need to see, we'll just fly. You just don't know
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 8: what's going to happen and stuff like that.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: So I agree with you. But I was looking at
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: the Jobe aircraft. They're really kind of the same thing
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: as those personal aircraft that we're talking about. They don't
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: really differ that much in design or anything.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 8: If I called up programmed, push a button and go,
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 8: that's fine. If somebody's got to fly it. I mean
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 8: road Look, you know all about road rage and my
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 8: friend big Time, you know about it.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 8: Can you imagine somebody with air rage. I just that's
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 8: something I just don't want to imagine.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: Oh no, and you know, and then the ripple effect.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: You're flying around your personal aircraft and people start shooting
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: their laser pointers at you, and man, the list of
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: problems is seemingly endless. Let's possible, break Jay Ruh live
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: back sleeping on an airplane? Hmmm more with the Jay
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: raylife right for these brief words. Fifty five KARC dot
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: com this month here see deep talk station.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 3: You've ever been in a cockpit before?
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, forty fifty five KRCD talk station ever had to
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: sleep in an airplane overnight before? Jay Ratliffe, I heard
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: a mediaviation expert on the phone. We're gonna pivot over
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: to the looft tons of flight where people were forced
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: to do just that. What happened here, Jay.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 8: This this was a excuse me. A flight that was
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 8: in Munich, they were preparing to depart. Flight was delayed
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 8: and the aircraft is off the tarmac because there was
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 8: no gatespace. So once the flight finally was in a
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 8: position to depart late in the evening, they put everybody
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 8: on a bus, bust them out to the aircraft. Loaded,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 8: everybody up, planes preparing to take off. Further issues, whether
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 8: related than others, kind of creeped in and the next
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 8: thing you know, it's eleven thirty, twelve thirty in the
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 8: morning now and they've decided to cancel the flight. The
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 8: problem was all the bus drivers at the airport that showedled.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 8: Everybody out there had already gone home for the day.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 8: So now you've got all these passengers on a remote
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 8: aircraft that's going nowhere that need to get back to
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 8: the airport that they can see out the window, but
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 8: they're told, we don't have the bus drivers, so we've
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 8: got to stay on board the aircraft overnight until they
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 8: show up the next morning. Now this is not a
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 8: remote airport. This is Munich, large international airport. You would
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 8: think Lufons has a little pull. They could have done something.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 8: I don't know, but the idea that everybody thought that
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 8: airplane's about to take off and leave, so it was
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 8: really of no concern operationally, But then when the flight canceled,
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 8: it was kind of the uh, oh, now what do
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 8: we do kind of moment and they had to spend
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 8: the night. This is an aircraft had limited beverages, limited
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 8: snacks obviously, no blankets, not exactly what you call super comfortable.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 8: The lavatories I'm sure were taxed. So I mean, you've
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 8: got all kinds of issues on this thing as these
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 8: people are being forced to to spend the night on
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 8: an aircraft that never went anywhere. It was not until
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 8: the next morning when the bus driver showed up that
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 8: they shuttle people out in the way they go. And
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 8: I know if it was here in the United States,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure the airline would have cared enough
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 8: to give USOU don't know, one hundred dollars boucher or something.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 8: But I don't know what they did over there. But
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 8: can you imagine you and people say, can't we just
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 8: be they can bring airsteps out where we can just
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 8: walk down and walk over to the airport. But the
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 8: problem is from a security standpoint, you have to be
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 8: escorted over by somebody that's been badged for that airport.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 8: You can't have pilots because pilots are only given a
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 8: security clearance within the shadow of their aircraft to like
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 8: when they do the walkarounds and things. They're not badged
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 8: for those All those airports their badge pretty much for
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 8: their hub where they're at where they can walk across
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 8: the tarmac unimpeded. But you can't do that at every airport.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 8: So here you have flight at tenants and pilots that
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 8: can't escort people over there. And yeah, so it was
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 8: it was maddening for the people on board that aircraft.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 8: Was they I mean, again, you're frustrated because the flight's canceled.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 8: Oh you think that's something. Now we have to tell
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 8: you we can't get you back into the airport.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: That is Oh my god. You have no idea how
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: bad I would be if I was stuck on a
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: plane and looking out the window. I want to go
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: over there. It's right there, let me.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 8: Out exist And then you're waiting for somebody to pop
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 8: the door and go. And obviously the flight crew did
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 8: a good job of preventing that because you know, you
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 8: don't want to have a stampede or something. But yeah,
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 8: somebody pops that door. It's got the emergency slide attached.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah there's your ramp and off you go, and you
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 8: get add all kinds of problems. But you know, fortunately
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 8: they were able to contain it and the crew did
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 8: a good job. But yeah, you've got somebody drinking. That
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 8: just pushes their way past the flight crew. They can
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 8: open up that door and push it and that that
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 8: emergency slide is going to activate and down you could
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 8: go if you so chose. Oh my sugguessing obviously to
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 8: ever do that. I'm just saying this could have happened
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 8: then and did not. So again, I think the flight
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 8: crew did a good job.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: Before we come up, we're coming up to break here
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: just a minute, I want to ask you, I mean
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: half of Maureene who is listening from Florida. She's always
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: tuning into the morning show. Please ask Jay if the
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: fires and alligator Alley Florida that's done by the Everglades
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: are causing flight issues. Are you even aware that there's
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: fires going down there?
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 8: Jay, I was not, But there have been times when
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 8: you have some limited visibility. It has to me close
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 8: to an airport where we're going to have a flight
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 8: advisory of some kind. Most of the time we're not
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 8: notified of that. Now, if it's a volcano marine, yes,
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 8: I don't care where in the world it is. There
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 8: is an alert that goes out to pilots around the world.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 8: Even if that volcanic eruption occurred on it totally the
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 8: other side of the planet. Pilots are going to be
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 8: made aware of it because that volcanic ash can be
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 8: problematic yet altitude being sucked into engines and you know,
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 8: shutting them down.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like sand in the desert for military equipment,
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: frightening stuff exactly.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 5: Yea.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: One more with Jay Radliff, We're going to talk about well,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: a young man spotting an error. He's only five years
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: ars old and it was on a Southwest Airlines training
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: manual of all things. More with Jay Rock Station Happy Thursday.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: Jay Ratlis on the phone. Hey, just a real quick
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: observation before you brought this Jobbi Aircraft Company up in
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: these uber taxis I saw and it's a really great
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: thing for the state of Ohio, notably the city of Dayton.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: They are they signed an agreement to acquire a manufacturing
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: facility in Dayton, Ohio area seven hundred thousand square feet
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be doubling their aircraft production, which
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: is a pretty impressive thing with the cast that the
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: company has on hand. So this is clearly the way
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: of the future. If this jobee company is any indication
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 8: And when you look at all the money that airlines
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 8: like United American Delta have been pouring into the research
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 8: and development on this side. Not only that, but you know,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 8: hypersonic supersonic aircraft designs, and well, a lot of people
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 8: are looking at this as kind of a wave of
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 8: the future. Now will have to wait and see. Because
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 8: it's great to have electric powered anything. But as you
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 8: have been so good to comment on the years, it
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 8: comes down to the production costs and what's what's the
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 8: what's the fallout for producing some of these things that
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 8: are supposed to be better for either the planet or whatever.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 8: But if they can't be you know, produced at a
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 8: price that makes it competitive, airlines are not going to
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 8: touch it. So that's really the challenge. It's a lot
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 8: like those sustainable aviation fuels. It's great to have fuel
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 8: that has vegetable oil excuse me, and other things that
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 8: can be you know created absent of fuel as far
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 8: as oil. But the problem is can you make that
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 8: available at such a cost that the being counters at
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 8: the airlines are gonna be excited enough to go after it?
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: Fair enough? All right, we've got a young man. Uh
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: we'll getting some praise for spotting an error in a
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: pilot training manual.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 8: This is such a good story. This is a student
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 8: at the Campbell Early Learning Center Jefferson County, Colorado.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 8: This William, This young man is a huge aviation geek,
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 8: even at five years of age. So he was given
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 8: a tour that included going through some of the Southwest
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 8: Airlines types of things, like the company training manual for pilots.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 8: It's a comprehensive instructional guide for pilots. So this five
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 8: year old is going through this and notices that there
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 8: was a discrepancy in the section on the aircraft's terrain displays.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 8: Now this five year old kid, Now, I think of
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 8: the number of pilots that had been trained that have
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 8: had this as their textbook that have not caught this mistake.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 8: You have a five year old that looks at it
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 8: and says, shouldn't these two pictures be of the same thing.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 8: It was a terrain display and they were not the same.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 8: The Southwest Airlines pilot who's with the five year old,
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 8: looks at that and says, you know what, You're right.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 8: So now Southwest Airlines is going to have to revise
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 8: their pilot training manual because of a five year old
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 8: that caught a mistake. What does that say about all
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 8: the pilots that had been trained and used this manual
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 8: catch it. I'm sorry that that's just two good I mean,
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 8: you know, people accuse you and I making things up,
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 8: and this would be a really good one if this
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 8: was being made. This is you know, what was a
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 8: Jeff Foxworthy talked about are you smarter than what a
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 8: fifth grader? This is not a fifth grader. This is
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 8: a five year old who's in preschool.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, in something else that neither Jane or
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: I made up. I didn't realize we were ever accused
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: of making stuff up. Jay, that's news to me all im.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: By the way, Mariene's actually listening from Hawaii. Hello and Hawaii, Maureene. Anyway,
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 1: I understand in American airlines a flight was in a
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: war zone or something found a bullet hole in the way.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: Were they flying over Venezuela or something.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 8: They had left Columbia, they arrived at Miami, yep, it's
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 8: just an international flight that's you know, operating as normal.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 8: They land and they taxi in in part. There's no issues, uh,
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 8: until one of the the ground personnel noticed as a
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 8: hole in the wing. Look up and sure enough, they
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 8: initially called it a puncture wound. I don't know what
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 8: would have bit them to give my punture wound, but uh,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 8: it turned out to be a bullet hole in the
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 8: wing of the aircraft. So it was in one of
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 8: the alions. So the uh, the pilots did not notice
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 8: anything that was operationally amiss during the course of the flight.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 8: The aircraft obviously taken out of out of out of service.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 8: But now that area is on alert to make sure
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 8: that there's not anything that's either ongoing from an unrest
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 8: standpoint or anybody targeting commercial aircraft. UH. That would have
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 8: been uh, you know, caused for airlines to to to
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 8: throttle back and suspend some service. We've we've seen this
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 8: in Haiti. Uh, pilots and airlines were worn in Haiti
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 8: that that there was a lot of activity that was
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 8: ongoing that was military in sort and to be careful.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 8: And we had a South what excuse me, it was
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 8: U Spirit Airlines and a Jet Blue flight that were
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 8: targeted and shot. At fact, there were bullet holes in
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 8: the overhead storage compartment of the Spirit Airlines flight and
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 8: you can google those images. They're chilling, and airlines obviously
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 8: suspended operations there until you know, the unrest kind of
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 8: kind of subsided. But yeah, I mean the idea of
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 8: having a bullet hole in your aircraft when it arrives, Yeah.
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 1: Don't you Well if it hit the fuselage, it could
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: have depressurized the cabin right.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 8: Well, if it went through the wing, it's not so.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 1: Much the fuel. Is the fuels in the wing.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 8: It that's that's what you have, torius. Is that But
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 8: keep in mind the fuels let's say in the center
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 8: part of the wing and the alien run in the
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 8: back is is what was impacted. So and all that
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 8: does is control the flight activity. So yeah, I mean
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 8: anything with the wing you don't want to mess with.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 8: But uh, again, the fact that nobody knew what happened
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 8: until somebody noticed the hole certainly showed just just thank
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 8: god that nothing happened. But yeah, that kind of stuff
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 8: that raises concerns and they'll be looking at it because
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 8: airlies you're not going to put the passengers, pilots, flight
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 8: attenants and passengers or their aircraft and harms way of
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 8: any kind, and they will quickly err on the side
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 8: of caution if it looks like this is gonna be
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 8: something that can be repeated.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: So thankful for that. Jay Ratliff, we always in on hubblaz.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: How's it looking out there for air traveled today?
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 8: I got some issues south of US. In fact, you
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 8: know we're batting a little bit of weather here, but Brian,
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 8: south of US, Atlanta, Charlotte looking at some significant delays.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 8: In fact, you can even go back to yeah, towards
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 8: Atlanta and Charlotte. As it's moving up towards the northeast
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 8: later today, the hubs of Atlanta and Charlotte are gonna
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 8: get a little bit better. But then we got Philadelphia,
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 8: New York that's going to start seeing some significant weather
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 8: related delays. So if you head it to Chicago, it
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 8: looks good. You're going through Dallas or headed out west,
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 8: you should be in good shape. But certainly headed south
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 8: or later in the day towards the northeast, you will
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 8: encounter some weather related delays that could should exceed
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: An All right, Jay Ratler, appreciate the invite and the
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: inside the information and
