Speaker 1: Five o five.
Speaker 2: I think about KRC the talk station Happy Monday, serious.
Speaker 3: Say will it was a education.
Speaker 2: Worker out, Yeah, you can pretty much say that. I
Speaker 2: hope you had a wonderful weekend. Brian, Tim's right here,
Speaker 2: glad to see Joe strek Roy belongs and looking forward
Speaker 2: to heaving. Kencober FLP president joined the program coming up
Speaker 2: at six point thirty to discuss this horrific murder, which
Speaker 2: is what the prosecutor's office is calling it of the
Speaker 2: sheriff's deputy who was well intentionally targeted and killed by
Speaker 2: the father of the eighteen year old who was by
Speaker 2: all accounts, pointing a firearm at a police officer. And
Speaker 2: we all know what happened on that one found that
Speaker 2: out last week eighteen year old no longer with US.
Speaker 2: Ey body camera footage released. If I don't know if
Speaker 2: you've seen it or not, it's not crystal clear, and
Speaker 2: therein lives of challenge as we move forward, worried about
Speaker 2: protests and obviously dad didn't take it real well. But
Speaker 2: you know, you got to ask yourself out loud, what's
Speaker 2: an eighteen year old doinger with a forty caliber glock
Speaker 2: handgun with an extended magazine and it is stolen car.
Speaker 2: I imagine that's lots of process. As a parent, I'm not
Speaker 2: quite sure how I would process it, but don't think
Speaker 2: I would react the way that it all fell up
Speaker 2: came in so can Colbert joined us at six point
Speaker 2: thirty off for his thoughts and comments on that tragedy.
Speaker 2: Coming up, also seven oh five up State Representative Jennifer
Speaker 2: gross on why you should vote no on issue too.
Speaker 2: Quite a few listeners have gotten in touch me you
Speaker 2: have cared. We'll talk about issue too. I brought it
Speaker 2: up from time to time. It just the problem that
Speaker 2: problem is it's a constitutional amendment which we will enshrine.
Speaker 2: This what I'm calling slush fund. But we'll allow Jennifer
Speaker 2: to offer her thoughts and comments on that. Coming up
Speaker 2: at seven oh five Christopher Smithman, it is Monday. We
Speaker 2: do the Smither event every Monday at seven twenty former
Speaker 2: Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, and I have
Speaker 2: a feeling he'll also have some a thing or two
Speaker 2: to say about the the murder of the sheriff's deputy,
Speaker 2: but also that this details about what led up to it,
Speaker 2: and maybe a comment or two about why an eighteen
Speaker 2: year old be caring a glock twenty three forty caliber
Speaker 2: firearm with an extended magazine Monday. Monday, Brian James. Today,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about consumer confidence being low in spite of
Speaker 2: the fact and jobless claims up actually at a decent
Speaker 2: jobs a new jobs report filed last week. You at
Speaker 2: least it exceeded expectations. Young workers report burnout and living
Speaker 2: paycheck to paycheck. Plus Starter Home is beginning at one
Speaker 2: million dollars. That seems to be a little out of
Speaker 2: everyone's reach, at least that's my perception. Finally cares, he cares.
Speaker 2: Maybe question marks since a VA may join the program
Speaker 2: at eight forty so I hope they do. But if not,
Speaker 2: we'll muddle through and talk about, well what you want
Speaker 2: to talk about, which you can steer the co direction
Speaker 2: of the conversation. I always invite listeners to call five one, three, seven,
Speaker 2: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three
Speaker 2: Taco with pound five fifty on at and T phone
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Haven't kind of Sheriff's office release identity
Speaker 2: of that deputy that was killed in the crash Friday
Speaker 2: by the father of the man whose son was killed
Speaker 2: and the officer involved shooting eighteen years old with the
Speaker 2: glock twenty three forty caliber hang on with an extended magazine.
Speaker 2: It was Deputy Larry Henderson, sheriff's deputy for thirty three years,
Speaker 2: served in multiple specialized units. Listen to this. He was
Speaker 2: not always the Academy instructor, dive Team member, HCPA SWAT,
Speaker 2: FBI task for officer, and he was with the bomb
Speaker 2: unit as well at some point HCSO Bomb Unit. Helvin
Speaker 2: County Sheriff charlel MANE McGuffey said in a statement on Saturday.
Speaker 2: In Deputy Henderson's early tenure as a Sheriff's deputy, I
Speaker 2: recognized his talent for teaching and presentation. Larry began his
Speaker 2: journey as a Sheriff's office trainer early in his career,
Speaker 2: developed the expertise and became an excellent trainer. Subsequently trained
Speaker 2: divisions on a Hemlon County Sheriff's Office that include hundreds
Speaker 2: of deputy sheriffs. His ability to relate to and touch
Speaker 2: officers' lives was extraordinary. We will continue to honor Larry's
Speaker 2: life of service and his badge is going to be retired.
Speaker 2: Badge number one twenty nine will be retired from the
Speaker 2: Hemmon County Sheriff's Office. Least accorded information from the spokesperson there, Jase,
Speaker 2: it's a shame. Governor Line, for his part, is ordered
Speaker 2: flags to be flown at half staff across the state
Speaker 2: in honor of the late Hemlon County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Henderson.
Speaker 2: Order takes took place Sunday night last night and last
Speaker 2: until sunset on the day of his funeral. Take place
Speaker 2: all across Hamilton County, in addition of the Ohio State House,
Speaker 2: the Verne Rifle Center, and Rhodes State Office Tower. Additionally,
Speaker 2: all other public buildings in the state will be permitted
Speaker 2: to five flags his staff at their discretion. I'd like
Speaker 2: to see a lot of them being flown at half
Speaker 2: staff in honor of this well. Obviously he had a
Speaker 2: great career at the Sheriff's office. No announcement got on
Speaker 2: the funeral arrangements, but Charmie McGuffey said that they would
Speaker 2: be publicly announced soon then. So far as what the
Speaker 2: court documents explain about what led to the fatal crash,
Speaker 2: Fox nineteen reporting Hamilton County municipal court affidavit states that
Speaker 2: based on numerous witness statements and evidence found at the scene,
Speaker 2: Rodney Hinton Junior, that's the father of the kid who
Speaker 2: had the gun jove eastbound across oncoming lanes through the
Speaker 2: intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and Burnout Wood's Drive
Speaker 2: and directly at the deputy, who was wearing a uniform
Speaker 2: as well as a bright fluorescent vest. According to court documents,
Speaker 2: the deputy was standing on the sidewalk at the corner
Speaker 2: of the intersection, outside of the lanes of travel, doing
Speaker 2: traffic control. A statement from the attorneys representing the Hinton
Speaker 2: family explained that the day of the crash, the families,
Speaker 2: along with the now incarcerated without bond, Rodney Hinton Junior,
Speaker 2: met with CINCINNT Police Department watched the body cam footage
Speaker 2: involving Ryan Hinton. That's the eighteen year old kid with
Speaker 2: the glock twenty three to forty caliber with the extended magazine.
Speaker 2: See I keep bringing that up. I mention you was eighteen.
Speaker 2: Family attorneys said that the family was understandably disraw as
Speaker 2: they watched the video. The attorney statement goes on to
Speaker 2: say that after the meaning Rodney, Brian's father left in
Speaker 2: his own vehicle and had not been heard from until
Speaker 2: the news of the crash. In the statement, they say
Speaker 2: on behalf of Brian Hinton's family, we offer our heartfelt
Speaker 2: condolences to the family and college of the officer who
Speaker 2: was just killed yesterday. This is an umaginable tragedy for
Speaker 2: this community. Ryan Hinton's family is heartbroken by this tragic
Speaker 2: turn of events, and we're all devastated for the family
Speaker 2: and the officer who was killed. So Rodney, for his part,
Speaker 2: he's now in jail without bond, as I mentioned, charged
Speaker 2: with aggravated murder in the death of the deputy, and
Speaker 2: he's being held in the Claremont County jail. I guess
Speaker 2: for looking looking out for his own safety. I suppose
Speaker 2: it's understandable that the attorneys would put him there that
Speaker 2: Judge tyrone Yates County Municipal Court Judge tyrone Yates, who
Speaker 2: was presiding over the suspects arraignment last week, put in
Speaker 2: the Claremont County jail. This was an agreement made between
Speaker 2: the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and Claremont County for what
Speaker 2: I described as the defendant safety. That's according to Judge Yates,
Speaker 2: they did not want to have any questions about him
Speaker 2: being held in Hamilton County as a matter of safety
Speaker 2: because the officer had been a Hamilton County deputy sheriff.
Speaker 2: It makes perfect sense. You see how many the sheriff's
Speaker 2: deputy showed up for that arraignment. Place was packed with
Speaker 2: sheriff deputies. Obviously one of their own was murdered, intentionally
Speaker 2: run over. By all accounts, that's a strong showing of force.
Speaker 2: And of course the Hamilton County Sheriff's office runs the jail,
Speaker 2: so one can understand there might be a little bit
Speaker 2: of concern expressed by the Hinton family on him being
Speaker 2: locked up there. Yates and the arrayment asked the sheriff's
Speaker 2: deputy if they have a safe environment in Claremont County
Speaker 2: of whether they'd returned to return Hinton to Hamilton County
Speaker 2: in May for his bond hearing, and the deputy responded
Speaker 2: yes to both questions. That w the Clairmont County deputy.
Speaker 2: Apparently the younger Hinton had no record eighteen year old
Speaker 2: Ryan Hinton no criminal history. Enquire looking it up found
Speaker 2: no records related to him. Rodney Hinton, No Dad Rodney
Speaker 2: Hinton Junior went to Purcell Marrion. According to his Facebook post,
Speaker 2: he pled guilty to assault and aggravated menacing in Middletown
Speaker 2: Municipal Court in twenty twenty three. He sentenced to one
Speaker 2: year of probation order to have no contact with the victims.
Speaker 2: It's all we know about his background, although he did
Speaker 2: share a post about a couple of officers involved killings,
Speaker 2: and he called for the rest of an officer who
Speaker 2: shot a Titania Jefferson, a twenty eight year old black
Speaker 2: woman in Texas, while responding to a call for a
Speaker 2: wellness check. I'm not sure what you can draw by
Speaker 2: overall conclusions on that, but we all know what happened.
Speaker 2: And again I'll point to and salute the Sheriff's deputies,
Speaker 2: the Cincinni Police Department, and other police officers out there.
Speaker 2: We're in the uniform every day for the benefit of
Speaker 2: our safety and the fact that they have to deal
Speaker 2: with armed eighteen year olds running amock and stolen vehicles
Speaker 2: every single day or sometimes even worse. It's a tough job.
Speaker 2: It's worthy of our respect, and I wish our public
Speaker 2: officials would do more to support the police or all
Speaker 2: the folks in uniform, shriff's deputy's police department, and do
Speaker 2: more to advance the interest of those organizations because they
Speaker 2: do protect us, they do serve us. They're a pillar
Speaker 2: of the criminal justice system. Laws need to be enforced.
Speaker 2: We need an arm to enforce those laws in the police.
Speaker 2: I know they quite often are showing up after the
Speaker 2: tragedy's hit, but someone to be held accountable, to be
Speaker 2: held up in front of society as an example of
Speaker 2: what will happen to you if you engage in criminal conduct.
Speaker 2: That's the point of having the sheriffs and the police
Speaker 2: out there. You remove that pillar, it falls apart. No
Speaker 2: one has any incentive follow the law. Five sixteen fifty
Speaker 2: five kr SE Detalk station, Feel free to call. I got
Speaker 2: plenty to talk about this morning until we get to
Speaker 2: State Representative Jennifer Gross Well actually Ken Coober on this
Speaker 2: issue at six point thirty, followed by State Representative Gross
Speaker 2: and Christopher Smithman at seven o'clock hour. I'll be right
Speaker 2: back after these brief words.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC try five.
Speaker 2: Twenty on a Monday, and a happy Monday too, All
Speaker 2: five on three seven fifty five eight hundred eight two
Speaker 2: to three talk. So'll forget fifty five KRSE dot com,
Speaker 2: your your podcast, get your books, all the information you need,
Speaker 2: plus your iHeart media apps you can stream all the
Speaker 2: iheard contact content wherever you happen to be live or
Speaker 2: podcast form. Speaking of law enforcement and our brave men
Speaker 2: and women in uniform who are working to enforce the
Speaker 2: law which hopefully leads to prosecutions if guilt beyond a
Speaker 2: reasonable doubt is established and the jail time is necessary,
Speaker 2: we have a place to put them. I know that's
Speaker 2: been a problem here in Havldon County for a while
Speaker 2: because the overcrowding in the lock up. I'm not quite
Speaker 2: sure the current situation, but apparently nationally we have a problem.
Speaker 2: I was kind of chuckling over this. Donald Trump's solution
Speaker 2: to the problem. We've been sending these illegal immigrant criminals
Speaker 2: to Guantanamo Bay as well as the El Salvadoran Seacot prison.
Speaker 2: El Salvador is willing to take a bunch of them,
Speaker 2: and I know that's through people the wrong way and
Speaker 2: there's ongoing litigation over that. But moving aside from whether
Speaker 2: it's appropriate or prudent to send them there need to
Speaker 2: send them someplace to have them blocked up because they
Speaker 2: are criminals. Donald Trump proposed yesterday he wants to reopen
Speaker 2: and rebuild Alcatraz Prison off San Francisco Coast, true social
Speaker 2: media posts last evening. For too long, America has been
Speaker 2: plagued by vicious, violent, repeat criminal offenders, the dregs of
Speaker 2: society who will never contribute anything other than misery and suffering.
Speaker 2: That's a bold statement when we are a more serious nation.
Speaker 2: In times past, we did not hesitate to lock up
Speaker 2: the most dangerous criminals and keep them far away from
Speaker 2: anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2: No longer will we tolerate these serial offenders who spread filth, bloodshed,
Speaker 2: and mayhem on our streets. We will no longer be
Speaker 2: held hostage to criminal thugs and judges that are afraid
Speaker 2: to do their job and allow us to remove criminals
Speaker 2: who came into our country illegally. The reopening of Alcatraz
Speaker 2: will serve as a symbol of law, order and justice.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I really don't think that's a practical solution for a
Speaker 2: variety of personally we I've read all kinds of accounts
Speaker 2: about Alcatraz and one of the reasons they shut it
Speaker 2: down because it was falling apart, high operational costs and
Speaker 2: infrastructure challenges. Reportedly what led to its closure in nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty three was not in operation between teen thirty four
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty three. Court of Bureau of Prisons. An estimated
Speaker 2: three million to five million was needed to restore and
Speaker 2: maintain the prison to keep it open. That was nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty three, and I think that's nineteen sixty three dollars
Speaker 2: a buck ain't what it used to be. And considering
Speaker 2: you look at that California rail project, they haven't even
Speaker 2: laid a single track and they've already blown through billions
Speaker 2: of dollars. Hey, Joe, if it cost two billion dollars
Speaker 2: to build a modern football stadium, how much you think
Speaker 2: it would cost to build a brand new prison out
Speaker 2: in the middle of the water tree fitty that's close enough.
Speaker 2: They'll be tree fitty billion, right anyway. Of course, it's
Speaker 2: been closed more than sixty years. It's now a National
Speaker 2: Historic Landmark and people tour it all the time. Apparently
Speaker 2: that's very popular. It's been in a lot of movies too.
Speaker 2: They get more than a million visitors around the world
Speaker 2: visiting Alcatraz every year a quarter of the Bureau of Prisons.
Speaker 2: Trump was pressed by the media on the proposal. It's
Speaker 2: just an idea I've had. It's long been a symbol Alcatraz.
Speaker 2: It's a sad symbol, but it's a symbol of law
Speaker 2: and order. Well yeah, but practically speaking, I can only
Speaker 2: imagine what the price tag on that would be to
Speaker 2: continue to rebuild. For what, you know, building anything on
Speaker 2: an island. You know, the transportation costs for all the materials,
Speaker 2: moving the workers out there and bringing them home every day.
Speaker 2: It's just a nightmare scenario. Good point, Joe, and the
Speaker 2: fact that it's California. I'm sure there's probably some environmental
Speaker 2: lawsuit filed to stop it at its tracks, among other
Speaker 2: lawsuits to be filed. Although there's an argument to be
Speaker 2: made that'd be some good union our work. Going back
Speaker 2: to how much it would cost to rebuild Alcatraz Island. Anyhow,
Speaker 2: I think Trump stepped at it the other day he
Speaker 2: said he didn't know whether he was duty bound to
Speaker 2: uphold the Constitution. This is going to inflame the left
Speaker 2: and provide further arguments that Donald Trump wants to be
Speaker 2: a fascist dictator. He was asked whether the non citizens
Speaker 2: are entitled to due process. The Fifth Amendment does require
Speaker 2: it before any person within the US territory maybe deprived
Speaker 2: of life, liberty of property. Quote, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 2: not a lawyer, he said, I don't know. On meet
Speaker 2: the protest over the weekend. While the Fifth Amendment might
Speaker 2: say that, Trump said compliance would require a million or
Speaker 2: two million, or three million trials. He said, I was
Speaker 2: elected to get them the hell out of here, and
Speaker 2: the courts are holding me from doing it. Well, therein
Speaker 2: lies the challenge. He's right, we're talking millions of trials.
Speaker 2: But if they are in fact entitled to do process,
Speaker 2: that's what you got to go through. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: a challenge. And if the courts ordered Trump to go
Speaker 2: through that process, the host asks, don't you need to
Speaker 2: uphold the Constitution of the United States as president? His response,
Speaker 2: I don't know, And that puts you in a tricky
Speaker 2: position when you've already sworn to uphold the constitution. He
Speaker 2: fell back with I have to respond by saying, again,
Speaker 2: I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they
Speaker 2: are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said,
Speaker 2: so a little bit of a backpedaling on that, but
Speaker 2: you know the SoundBite is, I don't know. So you know,
Speaker 2: like you got guy like Richard Blomouth thought, big Democrat
Speaker 2: senator out of Connecticut, President who doubts his most fundamental duty,
Speaker 2: his sworn oath to the Constitution is unfit for office,
Speaker 2: defiance the laws becoming this administration's hallmark, threatening irreparable damage.
Speaker 2: And there you can see the beginning of the next
Speaker 2: wave of sound bites criticizing Donald Trump for uh well
Speaker 2: found upholled his oath of office. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: all played out yet, though, but he may have gotten
Speaker 2: ahead of himself on that one. I think he more
Speaker 2: definitively said guess I swore to pull the Constitution and
Speaker 2: I will, and then the lawyers and the court system
Speaker 2: will ultimately determine what the Constitution requires. Five twenty six
Speaker 2: fifty five KERCD talk station got more local stories to
Speaker 2: dive on into. You feel free to call though, I'd
Speaker 2: like that if you did, but we can muddle through
Speaker 2: even without. Got a stack of stupid coming up, of course,
Speaker 2: following the local stories. I'll be right back.

Speaker 2: Talk Stations five thirty and a happy Monday. Always welcome
Speaker 2: phone calls, which we're going to take right now. Five one, three,
Speaker 2: two three Talk Tom, Welcome to the fifty five Catasy
Speaker 2: Morning Show.
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning. I think today is my first day
Speaker 8: back to a slightly more humane time of day, so
Speaker 8: uh yeah, hopefully this, hopefully this continues for for a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mister calls when you were on a different schedule,
Speaker 2: you know, got really used to hearing from you at
Speaker 2: this time, and I always appreciate the conversation, so and
Speaker 2: the message.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, and I'm actually I'm still at the same job.
Speaker 8: I just am able to switch back to a to
Speaker 8: start at six instead of five. So I did want
Speaker 8: to first give a shout out. I've been working with
Speaker 8: an electrician who who interestingly enough, his last day on
Speaker 8: the job was Saturday, but he's a regular listener. His
Speaker 8: name is Andy, So shout out to Andy.
Speaker 2: Andy, thank you for listening.
Speaker 8: Andy, And I am as we speak, I am driving
Speaker 8: through that intersection where that SHARE's deputy was last Friday.
Speaker 8: So uh yeah, not a good uh, not a good story.
Speaker 8: I don't have enough information on that, so I'm not
Speaker 8: gonna really comment on that right now. But uh, I
Speaker 8: did want to talk about real quick a topic that
Speaker 8: I call, uh well, I call it something else, but
Speaker 8: it's give a crap and and what what do you
Speaker 8: give a crap about? Is very important what your priorities
Speaker 8: are in your life, and from something as simple as, uh,
Speaker 8: you know, how do you leave the bathroom when you
Speaker 8: walk away from it? You know, do you give a crap?
Speaker 9: Do you care? What you know?
Speaker 8: What you leave behind you when you do whatever, when
Speaker 8: you work, when you wait, when you you know, when
Speaker 8: you leave the kitchen in the morning, or what I mean,
Speaker 8: just simple stuff shows what you give a crap about.
Speaker 8: And then you go all the way up to uh,
Speaker 8: you know, we talked to politics. One of these politicians
Speaker 8: give a crap about. And of course when you're talking
Speaker 8: about the Democrat Party, you think about the things that
Speaker 8: they give a crap about, think about the things that
Speaker 8: matter to them. It matters to them whether or not
Speaker 8: women can have the right to kill babies. It matters
Speaker 8: to them whether or not men could play in women's sports.
Speaker 8: It matters to them whether or not someone who is
Speaker 8: in this country illegally should be allowed to stay. These
Speaker 8: are the things that matter to them. These are the
Speaker 8: things that they give a crap about. And if you
Speaker 8: notice people from you know, politicians and all the way
Speaker 8: down to some of us unwashed masses, what we give
Speaker 8: a crap about affects everybody else around us. And the
Speaker 8: Democrat Party is affecting us in very terrible ways. And
Speaker 8: they are They have been slowly but surely destroying this country,
Speaker 8: at least trying to, and especially if it's picked up
Speaker 8: speed over the last oh, i don't know, ten twelve
Speaker 8: years of them affecting us with all their all their
Speaker 8: garbage and everything like that, and all the news stories
Speaker 8: pretty much say it. But it all comes down.
Speaker 10: To give a crap.
Speaker 8: What do you give a crap about? The Democrats clearly
Speaker 8: do not give a crap about the best interest of
Speaker 8: the citizens of this country. So as always I have
Speaker 8: to say, don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Ryan.
Speaker 2: You too. Tom interestingly stated, but I think he made
Speaker 2: some valuable points on that election day Tomorrow issue too,
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about that company of State Representative Jennifer Gross.
Speaker 2: Poles are open for early in post inverting already what
Speaker 2: may six poles open at six thirty am and close
Speaker 2: at seven thirty pm. They'll be tomorrow. What's on the
Speaker 2: ballot other than an issue too? Princeton's City School Board,
Speaker 2: District School District Board of Elections. They have a proposed
Speaker 2: levey six point six y' one mill It's on the ballot.
Speaker 2: It's going to generate twelve point eight million annually. How
Speaker 2: much is it going to cost the homeowner? Two hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty one dollars for each one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: the county auditors appraised home value for a period of
Speaker 2: ten years. The board claims that the current revenue sources,
Speaker 2: including existing tax levies and funds from state and federal
Speaker 2: governments will be insufficient to maintain the district's operation without
Speaker 2: additional funding, so that particular issue will be on weal.
Speaker 2: Of course, the areas where Princeton City Schools operates pretty
Speaker 2: much all over the place, portions of the Hamilton, Butler,
Speaker 2: Warren Counties. Other school Levey issues to think about Mount
Speaker 2: Healthy School Levey, Edgewood School Levey, Madison School Levey, Clinton,
Speaker 2: Massy Local Schools Levey, and the Franklin School Levey. Bring

Speaker 2: Military ID card, Ohio National Guard ID card, or US
Speaker 2: Department of Veteran Fairs ID card. Photo IDs have to
Speaker 2: have an expiration eight that has not passed. It has
Speaker 2: to have a photograph of the voter shocking and the
Speaker 2: voter's name which must be substantially which must substantially conformed
Speaker 2: to the name as it appears on the poll list
Speaker 2: or in the poll book. You have been forewarned one
Speaker 2: more here since a police performed and says a man

Speaker 2: Levey also on the ballot. Heard from two people on
Speaker 2: that one. I didn't do the reporting. I just didn't
Speaker 2: commit the entire list of school levies to memory. They
Speaker 2: think that was a Hamilton County centric focus for the
Speaker 2: reporting locally. But yes, wes Claremont School levee, and according
Speaker 2: to my good friend Mike, they've soaked us enough two
Speaker 2: exclamation points after that total mismanagement of funds in my
Speaker 2: humble opinion. So there you go. We know Mike is
Speaker 2: a no vote. Actually, I've had quite a few listeners
Speaker 2: call me up about that particular levee and they all
Speaker 2: express strong opposition to that particular levee. Oh to feel
Speaker 2: free to call. Maybe you got a comment on that
Speaker 2: one five, one, three, seven, nine, fifty eight to two
Speaker 2: three talk. I'm a firm no on issue too as well,
Speaker 2: So I'm on record. Let's see here smoking gun reporting
Speaker 2: on this one. Love that site. Tale of two identities.
Speaker 2: Vincent Conroy fifty six, allegedly drunk walking around a Florida
Speaker 2: parking lot wearing only a T shirt with no pants
Speaker 2: with his private parts on public display. Conroy spotted with
Speaker 2: two wine bottles and a cannabier. What a con When
Speaker 2: confronted by police and asked to identify himself, he said
Speaker 2: the suspect provided the name Charles Dickens. Later discovered his
Speaker 2: name was Vincent Conroy. In addition to the open container
Speaker 2: and exposure to sexual organs counts, Conroy charged with providing
Speaker 2: a false name to law enforcement. After a day locked
Speaker 2: up in the local blake house, Conrie from Blee Gusk

Speaker 2: take his own life. Please took Granted the Harris County
Speaker 2: jail Saturday, held on a five hundred thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 2: Theoduncee family started GoFundMe page. She was set to graduate
Speaker 2: from nursing school just a few days before her murder,
Speaker 2: family said, referring to the death as an unimaginable loss
Speaker 2: sound advice on that Joe, just I saw this, sor
Speaker 2: I saw this one. This one made national news and
Speaker 2: appearing to the smoking gun again just days after claiming
Speaker 2: a one hundred and sixty seven point three million dollar
Speaker 2: powerball jackpot. Kentucky man now behind bar, charged with kicking
Speaker 2: a cop in the face during a fight at an
Speaker 2: ocean front hotel in Florida. Do what the hell court
Speaker 2: records reflect. James Farthing, a fifty year old ex convict,
Speaker 2: rested on feloningy and midemeanor ture in connection with the
Speaker 2: fracas at the Trade Winds Resort in Saint Pete Peach.
Speaker 2: Farthing at the resort with Jacqueline fight Master. Interesting connection there,
Speaker 2: that's his forty two year old girlfriend who was with
Speaker 2: him when he accepted the one and sixty seven point
Speaker 2: three million dollar power ball win. Farthing, who won the
Speaker 2: April twenty six powerball drawing, bought the winning ticket at
Speaker 2: Clark's Pumpin' Shop in Georgetown Phrasing, just north of Lexington.
Speaker 2: Tuesday evening and day after posting with the oversized jackpot winner,
Speaker 2: Farthing punched a male victim in the face during an
Speaker 2: argument at the Trade Winds Courting Police. Subsequent to that
Speaker 2: alleged battery, the Sheriff's deputy sought to break it up.
Speaker 2: Break up rather and in progress fight between Farthing and
Speaker 2: another patron well interceding in the brawl, Deputy Nicholas Area
Speaker 2: of Statico reported being kicked in the face by Farthing.
Speaker 2: Body camera footage, the officer noted he observed the defendant
Speaker 2: winding up his right leg and kicking your affian in
Speaker 2: the face in an attempt to injure and or incapacitate

Speaker 2: and redness under his right eye after being kicked, Deputy

Speaker 2: The remains behind bars due to Kentucky parole violator warrant.
Speaker 2: Kentucky Department Crashings issued the warrant response to his new
Speaker 2: arrest and the fact that he left the state without
Speaker 2: permission from his parole officer. Idiots doing idiot things because
Speaker 2: they're idiots, Amen, brother MANI you can't just sit back
Speaker 2: and say, you know what, I got one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty seven point three million dollars. I'm going to kick
Speaker 2: back and enjoy the balance of my life. I'm fifty
Speaker 2: years old. I think I can make that money last
Speaker 2: for the balance of my lifetime. It's time for me
Speaker 2: to hang up my fight gloves and just sort of
Speaker 2: kickback and live in the moment. But no, thank you, Joe,
Speaker 2: I might want to put the bottle down too while
Speaker 2: you're at it. For over eight years, QC Kinetics has

Speaker 2: zero one nine.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 2: Now, don't get suckered into one fifty five KRC. Detalk
Speaker 2: station SACA stupid well, this was embarrassing. President and Director
Speaker 2: of the Art Institute of Chicago, James Rondo, allegedly disrobed
Speaker 2: in the middle of a flight from Chicago to Germany.
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? Let's find out together, shall we.
Speaker 2: Unnamed sources confirmed that Rondo, who has led the museum
Speaker 2: for nearly a decade, allegedly this is in quotes, drank
Speaker 2: alcohol and took prescription medication, then removed his clothing. While
Speaker 2: a United Airlines flight nine P fifty three, again going
Speaker 2: from Chicago to Munich, is having back in the middle
Speaker 2: of April, police are called to the flight after Atlanta
Speaker 2: to Munich. Courted reports from the New York Times on
Speaker 2: that one. Art Institute of Chicago confirmed the report, saying
Speaker 2: that Rondo has returned to Chicago, currently on voluntary leave
Speaker 2: from his position. Quote. The Art Institute takes this very
Speaker 2: seriously and has open an independent investigation to the incident.
Speaker 2: Together all the available information. Art Institute readership is meeting
Speaker 2: to determine the next steps.
Speaker 1: You moron.
Speaker 2: He was appoint of the museum's director in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 2: been in the Art Institute since nineteen eighty eight, first
Speaker 2: joining as an associate curator of Contemporary Art. Vanity Fair
Speaker 2: reached out United Airlines and didn't get a respond for
Speaker 2: a comment. You think Jay Ratliff will bring that one up.
Speaker 2: Clayton County Jail, Jonesboro, Georgia, went to lockdown after officers
Speaker 2: could not find a missing inmate convicted of murder, only
Speaker 2: for cops to discover that they had left him at
Speaker 2: the courthouse holding cell overnight for about twelve hours, Julian
Speaker 2: Brooks Deloche missing from the county jail, where he was
Speaker 2: on loan from the state prison due to a recent misdemeanor. Deloche,
Speaker 2: convicted of murder in nineteen eighty four, granted pearl in
Speaker 2: twenty ten. Cl Sheriff lebon Allen, speaking of local news,
Speaker 2: the jail went on lockdown as officers search for him,
Speaker 2: but the next morning they realized he'd accidentally been left
Speaker 2: in the holding cell at the courthouse, which is attached
Speaker 2: to the jail. Holding cell located in the secure area,
Speaker 2: but they're not intended to hold people overnight. No beds
Speaker 2: in those cells, only benches, sinks and toilets, also unsupervised
Speaker 2: after court hours, so no one was there after six pm.
Speaker 2: Farri fallons they searched every cell in every area of
Speaker 2: the jail, searching for a month. Ultimately by the time
Speaker 2: we reviewed cameras and backtrack and took us back to
Speaker 2: the courtroom where he was at Ultimately, of course, hours
Speaker 2: had passed. Discovered around seven am the following morning me
Speaker 2: he had been in the holding cell for twelve to
Speaker 2: thirteen hours. As a consequence, sheriff said he's thinking about
Speaker 2: two correctional sergeants being demoted and two deputies assigned to
Speaker 2: the Court division being suspended.
Speaker 3: Screws fall out all the time. The world's in imperfect place.
Speaker 2: That's embarrassing Go to Dairy, Delaware. Over the past couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, Dairy officials have been forced to forced five
Speaker 2: spa mage massage parlors to close their doors licensing concerns
Speaker 2: and misleading advertising. Town council issues cease and assist orders
Speaker 2: shortly after the business has applied for the license renewals
Speaker 2: in the town, which led to further investigation to the
Speaker 2: business operations. Many times a single practitioner's licensed there and
Speaker 2: we discovered that there were multiple individuals advertised or operating
Speaker 2: at the facility, one of the problems with the licensure issues. Additionally,
Speaker 2: Ying Qui failed to disclose a felony prostitution conviction in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two hunder state application for a license. Darius
Speaker 2: not alerted to the conviction until she attempted to renew
Speaker 2: her license and marks one of those kind of massage
Speaker 2: parlors eh see here. Quarter Officials Town of Dairy in
Speaker 2: ordinance back in twenty twenty three to regulate massage parlors
Speaker 2: and other associated businesses. This was a new process which
Speaker 2: required the owners and ropractitioners to obtain a license from
Speaker 2: the Town of Dry and embedded within that they had
Speaker 2: to show proof of valid state license as a massage therapist.
Speaker 2: Apparently didn't do that, quarter to one official for whatever
Speaker 2: reason at the state level, either staffing or otherwise. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure, but if you go to the state website,
Speaker 2: there's no record of what happened in Delaware. The fact
Speaker 2: that an investigation was done at the state level, that's
Speaker 2: a very difficult pill for us to swallow. Phrasing say,
Speaker 2: I read that line just for you, Joe. Anyway, not
Speaker 2: much on that one, but it does conclude today's status.
Speaker 2: Tuka Cinco de Mayo stack is stupid, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: Apparently they don't even really celebrate it in Mexico. It
Speaker 2: celebrates Mexico's victory over the French army at the Battle
Speaker 2: of Puebla May fifth, eighteen sixty two. Popular here in
Speaker 2: the United States, particularly among Mexican American communities. Not a
Speaker 2: national holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated only in the city
Speaker 2: of Puebla, gets a lot of attention here, though, is
Speaker 2: this cultural appropriation sticker. It is an excuse to drake,
Speaker 2: which is probably why we adopted it as a holiday.
Speaker 2: Joe ken Cober, or FLP President, on the recent murder
Speaker 2: of the sheriff's deputy and what led up to that.
Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts and comments at six point thirty.
Speaker 2: Got some time to talk between now and then, feel
Speaker 2: free to call. I'll be right back after the news.
Speaker 4: News happens fast, stay up to date.
Speaker 1: At the top of the hour, not going.
Speaker 7: To be complicated. It's going to go very fast.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs. The talk station all about the pre set.
Speaker 2: Six or six if you buy a PRC the talk station.
Speaker 2: Hope you're having a decent Monday. I certainly hope you
Speaker 2: had a wonderful weekend. Bottom of the hour, Ken Cober,
Speaker 2: he'll be talking about the murder of Deputy Larry Henderson.
Speaker 2: I guess you have to say a ledge murder. Although
Speaker 2: with all the witnesses that witnessed, then Hinton Jr. Target
Speaker 2: him and hit him full speed or at a high
Speaker 2: rate of speed in his automobile. Of course, Rodney Hinton
Speaker 2: Junior arrested being in the He's in the Claremont County
Speaker 2: Lockup rather than the Hamilton County Lockup because of reasons
Speaker 2: for his safety and concerns by the judge that I
Speaker 2: don't know you might have with an Epstein situation. Since
Speaker 2: the Hamilton County Sheriffs run the Hamilton County Lockup, I
Speaker 2: can appreciate why they might have wanted him moved, although
Speaker 2: I imagine there's sort of a fraternal bond between the
Speaker 2: Claremont County Sheriff's deputies and the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy,
Speaker 2: so well remains to be seen what happens anyway. Rodney
Speaker 2: obviously upset about the shooting of his son Ryan, who
Speaker 2: was carrying a glock twenty three to forty caliber with
Speaker 2: an extended magazine. I brought up again and again and
Speaker 2: again because he's only eighteen years old and had he
Speaker 2: not been brandishing the weapon, he would still be with
Speaker 2: us today. I hate to hear about officer involves shootings.
Speaker 2: Obviously you have a concern that you know certain element
Speaker 2: of the population will end up rioting in the streets,
Speaker 2: whether or not it was appropriate action by the police
Speaker 2: officer or not. I wish the video was a little
Speaker 2: more clear if you watch it it's not as clear
Speaker 2: that the gun was pointed directly at the officer as
Speaker 2: the officers suggests happened. So we're left to draw our
Speaker 2: own conclusions. But well, hear what kan Kover has to
Speaker 2: say the bottom of the r fast forward one hour.
Speaker 2: State Representative Jennifer Gross on why you should vote no
Speaker 2: on issue too. I've been telling people to vote no.
Speaker 2: I call it a slush fund, but it's a constitutional amendment.
Speaker 2: And ask yourself since all this is for infrastructure projects,
Speaker 2: you know, they point out and all the pro issue too, folks,
Speaker 2: all your roads or roads are falling apart. Well, where
Speaker 2: in the hell's the gasoline tax money been going? How
Speaker 2: come municipalities haven't been taking a stock in their own
Speaker 2: roads and you know, taking care of them, City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: That's what tax dollars are for, first and foremost, take
Speaker 2: care of the infrastructure you've all he got before we
Speaker 2: start building more stuff and things. This is just an
Speaker 2: ever growing fund. Bonds will be issued and interest will
Speaker 2: be paid upon them. So I'm not in favor of it.
Speaker 2: We'll hear the reasons Jennifer's against it. At seven oh five,
Speaker 2: Christopher Smithman, I have a feeling he may mention the
Speaker 2: death of Deputy Larry Henderson, and he probably will mention
Speaker 2: Ryan Hinton, the eighteen year old walking around with the
Speaker 2: clock twenty three to forty calib with an extended magazine Monday. Monday,
Speaker 2: Brian James eight oh five. Consumer confidence low, jobless claims
Speaker 2: are up, young workers reporting burnout and living paycheck to
Speaker 2: paycheck and starter homes beginning at one million dollars. Geez,
Speaker 2: clemen doom. The last couple of weeks with Brian James
Speaker 2: anyway cares Maybe with this cincinnt VA, we have little
Speaker 2: we We're kind of up in the air on whether
Speaker 2: that's going to take place anyway. I mentioned in the
Speaker 2: last hour, I thought Donald Trump shouldn't have gone there.
Speaker 2: But when he was asked about whether he would uphold
Speaker 2: the the Constitution, listen to what the judges are saying
Speaker 2: particular situation, whether the Fifth Amendment requires before any person
Speaker 2: within the United States may be deprived of life, liberty,
Speaker 2: or property. I don't know, he said, I'm not I'm
Speaker 2: not a lawyer. I don't know. Talking with Kristen Welker
Speaker 2: on NBC News Meet the Press, and he points out
Speaker 2: while the Fifth Amendment might say that due process compliance
Speaker 2: will require a million or two million, or three million trials,
Speaker 2: which again there's the problem we've got. But the Constitution
Speaker 2: says what it says. Courts are in the position to
Speaker 2: interpret what it means, and ultimately the Supreme Court will
Speaker 2: have a say on this. But the way my understanding reads,
Speaker 2: and the way the law is currently being applied, you
Speaker 2: got to give them due process. Now with that, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a slow process, it's expensive, it's time consuming. Millions
Speaker 2: of court cases must be their hearings must be held.
Speaker 2: You know, the the we all demand an instant gratification,
Speaker 2: and sometimes, you know, we sacrifice our confidence constitution for
Speaker 2: political expedients, something judgment Politana and I talk about all
Speaker 2: the time. In the context of waging war. We just
Speaker 2: willing nearly launched missile strikes and rockets and engage in
Speaker 2: authorization for use of military force, and that would allow
Speaker 2: us to go into combat what Afghanistan was for but
Speaker 2: ten years with no declaration of war. It turns a
Speaker 2: constitution on top of the head. Now, listeners know, I
Speaker 2: am no fan of Alexandrio Casio Cortez at all. I
Speaker 2: stand for almost anything that comes out of her mouth,
Speaker 2: although I got to defend her on this one. Now
Speaker 2: she dared Tom Holm and the Borders are to get
Speaker 2: her arrested for what she claimed was providing legal advice
Speaker 2: she was giving immigrants on how to avoid being deported.
Speaker 2: Holman said he had already referred her antics to the
Speaker 2: US Department of Justice. The dare from Alexander Casio Cortes
Speaker 2: came at a pack town hall in Queen's after Homan
Speaker 2: previously suggested that her hosting of a know Your Rights
Speaker 2: webinar this was back in February that it impedes Immigrations
Speaker 2: and custom Enforcement from carrying out Trump administration's deportation of
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. Tom Humman said he was going to refer
Speaker 2: me to the DOJ because I'm using my free speech
Speaker 2: rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections.
Speaker 2: To that, I say, come for me. Do I look
Speaker 2: like I care? Said? There was nothing illegal about it,
Speaker 2: and if they want to make it illegal, they can
Speaker 2: come and take me. Now. For the webinar that's being
Speaker 2: referred to here, recommended illegal aliens ask for warrants and
Speaker 2: deploy cell phones to record ICE searches also provided tips
Speaker 2: on how to differentiate between different warrants and authorities that
Speaker 2: are likely the authorities are likely to carry. Homan, for
Speaker 2: his part, thinks that she ventured into illegal territory with
Speaker 2: providing that advice. So he said, I'm working back and
Speaker 2: I guess recently said talking to Fox and he said,
Speaker 2: I'm working with the Department of Justice and finding out
Speaker 2: where is that line they cross? So maybe AOC is
Speaker 2: going to be in trouble now. Now I have to
Speaker 2: defend what she was doing. And going back to Tom's
Speaker 2: point in the last hour, what do you care about
Speaker 2: when you're evaluating your politicians? What do they care about?
Speaker 2: And Tom made some excellent contrast. Do they care about
Speaker 2: the US citizen defending our rights and our freedoms and
Speaker 2: our interests, or do they care about something else like
Speaker 2: a wide open border that is jeopardizing US I mean
Speaker 2: for safety reasons, but from a financial standpoint, it's putting
Speaker 2: a tremendous burden on our limited resources. So what does
Speaker 2: Alexander of Casio care to Cortes care about? So this
Speaker 2: is why we have free speech. She's providing information that
Speaker 2: is I suppose truthful on some level. You can record
Speaker 2: with your cell phone. Hell that's like a default mechanism
Speaker 2: for most people these days, and pull their cell phone
Speaker 2: up before they do anything to even protect their own
Speaker 2: best interest. She's allowed to tell illegal immigrants that they
Speaker 2: should ask for a warrant. She's allowed to provide them
Speaker 2: information about how to differentiate between what type of official
Speaker 2: is there with the warrant. That's all information that's on
Speaker 2: the books. That's all information that the illegal immigrants went
Speaker 2: out into the world. They would be able to find
Speaker 2: if they went to an attorney to talk about them
Speaker 2: in advance. What happens, attorney, if the Immigrations and Customs
Speaker 2: officials show up? What should I do? An attorney could
Speaker 2: provide this advice. So you're on shaky ground when you
Speaker 2: attack people for freedom of speech. I mean, remember the
Speaker 2: anarchist cookbook written back in the early nineteen seventies, around
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy had bomb making information in it. I mean
Speaker 2: even the FBI evaluated that and said, well, you know,
Speaker 2: there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah, the guys
Speaker 2: at left wing radical loan, but this is information that
Speaker 2: free speech rights protects.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: But when you move over to this main teacher along
Speaker 2: the same lines, and then either there's a line at
Speaker 2: which you can't cross, and what differentiates when you know,
Speaker 2: it's like you can't say fire in a crowded theater.
Speaker 2: That's always been the default thing to show the limitations
Speaker 2: of free speech. Well, that's really subject to an independent
Speaker 2: analysis in and of itself. If there's an opportunity to
Speaker 2: inject other speech, speech that might lessen the enraging circumstances,
Speaker 2: you know, calls for immediate violence. If there's an opportunity
Speaker 2: for more speech to be interjected into the discussion, then
Speaker 2: you have the free speech right to sort of incite violence.
Speaker 2: That's that Brandenburg case we've talked about all the time
Speaker 2: from here in Hamlin County where that was the clan
Speaker 2: members of the Nazis were encouraging the extermination of black people. Horrific, Yes, protected, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we turned the main when you're post, reported Waterville's senior
Speaker 2: high school English teacher, here's an argument for free school choice.
Speaker 2: Joanna Saint Germain went on Facebook last week demanding the
Speaker 2: Secret Service coordinate and kill every single one of Trump's
Speaker 2: fans along with the president. Quote, the Secret Service has
Speaker 2: the perfect opportunity if they choose to step up and
Speaker 2: take it. You are the ones with the power coordinate
Speaker 2: take out every single person who supports Trump's illegal, immoral,
Speaker 2: unconstitutional acts. So here she's making a statement to the
Speaker 2: Secret Service. If they're right next to the president, their arms,
Speaker 2: so they should kill him. Outrageous, Yes, should be she
Speaker 2: be fired, yes, But as of this week, she's not
Speaker 2: been fired yet. She claims she was not talking about
Speaker 2: assassinating a president. That's a person duly elected by the
Speaker 2: American people. She wrote, quote, if you step up, we
Speaker 2: can avoid a civil war. I'm not talking about assassinating
Speaker 2: a president. A president, he's a d person duly elected
Speaker 2: by the American people. Trump has shamelessly bragged openly about
Speaker 2: stealing the election. I told you she's unhinged. He's making
Speaker 2: plans to give himself a third term. No, that point
Speaker 2: was negated by the President over the weekend. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about Americans recognizing a fascist dictatorship and standing against it.
Speaker 2: If I had this skill set required, I would take
Speaker 2: them out myself. So that includes many of my listeners
Speaker 2: in a listening audience who are big Trump fans. And
Speaker 2: she knows that she may get in trouble. She posted this,
Speaker 2: I knowing I'd likely lose my job and benefits. I'm
Speaker 2: not backtracking a single thing. I believe Trump and every
Speaker 2: sycophant he has surrounded himself with needs to die. This
Speaker 2: is a person who has a tremendous amount of control
Speaker 2: over your children, at least while they're in her classroom
Speaker 2: at Waterville Public Schools, where the superintendent said they are
Speaker 2: looking into it, but they have not fired her yet. Well,
Speaker 2: I suppose she's got the free speech right to say
Speaker 2: something like this that is running well, really close to
Speaker 2: the margins though. Plum type plumbing. Get in touch with
Speaker 2: plumb type plumbing, which is always plumbing done right to

Speaker 2: You're right, Eric, Eric made an interesting observation. Was talking
Speaker 2: about that unhinged teacher who's calling for the murder of
Speaker 2: a lot of my listening audience, as well as Donald
Speaker 2: Trump egging the Secret Service on to assassinate the President,
Speaker 2: even though she said that she didn't necessarily want the
Speaker 2: president assassinated because he was duly elected. I mean, the
Speaker 2: woman obviously is emotionally disturbed. Call it Trump derangements syndrome,
Speaker 2: if you will, but that people carry these views. You know,
Speaker 2: there's not a single leftist out there, including the aforementioned
Speaker 2: Alexander Ocasio Cortes, that I would ever, ever, ever call
Speaker 2: to be murdered. I mean, you're entitled to your own

Speaker 2: them and speak out loud upon them. Which is the
Speaker 2: point that I'm making about alex aoc Listen to what
Speaker 2: she said, listen to what she's advocating for, and make
Speaker 2: an informed decision before you reelect her. She wasn't on
Speaker 2: record with these types of opinions when she got elected,
Speaker 2: originally after being a bartender. But Eric makes a good point.
Speaker 2: If she had said that about Obama, his point, she'd
Speaker 2: be in custody right now. And I you know, in
Speaker 2: my response to him, Yeah, even though I'll argue the
Speaker 2: speech is protected. And whoever said this about Obama? If
Speaker 2: there was a circumstances where this happened, that person gets arrested,
Speaker 2: what would they have to do? Lawyer up incur massive
Speaker 2: defense costs being represented in a proceeding that shouldn't take place.
Speaker 2: Because we have the First Amendment and ultimately the case
Speaker 2: being thrown out or her person her in this case,
Speaker 2: being found not guilty because we have a First Amendment
Speaker 2: in the speech is protected. But they would go through
Speaker 2: the exercise and they use that in order to chill
Speaker 2: speech in the world. Look what's going to happen to
Speaker 2: you if you say something like this, You're gonna get arrested,
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to go through the process, and it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter that you're ultimately found not guilty. Who wants
Speaker 2: to go through that headache in hassle? And I know how
Speaker 2: much lawyers cost, and it's a hell of a lot
Speaker 2: of money to get a defense lawyer to take you
Speaker 2: through this process. Can you afford it? So you can
Speaker 2: hang your First Amendment out there all day long and
Speaker 2: ultimately you will be defended by it, but it can
Speaker 2: be extremely costly. It's always a question of whose ox
Speaker 2: is being gored here. That's why I'm not I'm thinking
Speaker 2: Tom Homans shouldn't go down the road that the leftists
Speaker 2: go down and try to get the Department of Justice
Speaker 2: to prosecute this loon Alexandrio Casio Cortes or providing information
Speaker 2: to illegal immigrants on what they're on the on the
Speaker 2: book's rights happen to be, or at least her interpretation
Speaker 2: of them. Six fifty five Kirstee Talk Station, Ken Kober

Speaker 2: Cullen Electriccincinnati dot Com fifty five KRC Waking up on
Speaker 2: the Rod caresee the talk station. Brun Time is always
Speaker 2: pleased to welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show,
Speaker 2: and I wish we had a uh a lust depressing
Speaker 2: moment at a topic to talk about with FOP President
Speaker 2: Ken Kober. Ken, welcome to the morning show. It's good
Speaker 2: to have you on.
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Uh somber just heart wrenching reality that this Rodney Hinton
Speaker 2: junior guy, the father of the eighteen year old who
Speaker 2: was carrying out glock twenty three forty calib with an
Speaker 2: extended magazine, lost his life and at police shoot out,
Speaker 2: Deputy Larry Henderson was intentionally targeted apparently by this Rodney
Speaker 2: Hinton junior guy. You're your reaction, Ken, I know this
Speaker 2: has got to be emotional, and I just how does
Speaker 2: it hit you as a police officer and an FOP
Speaker 2: resident or representative.
Speaker 5: It's like a terrible nightmare that that just won't go away.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's been on the heart of all the
Speaker 5: law enforcement officers, you know, as we deal with you
Speaker 5: know what's going on. You have talked to many deputies
Speaker 5: that are friends of mine, and it's just it's a
Speaker 5: terrible situation.
Speaker 2: Terrible understatement, and I know that's how you got a
Speaker 2: phrase that Deputy Larry Henderson had nothing at all to
Speaker 2: do with the hint and shooting Diddy.
Speaker 5: No nothing, you know, Deputy the just retired a couple
Speaker 5: of months ago that it was decided to continue to
Speaker 5: serve the community as a special deputy. And it's literally just, uh,
Speaker 5: you know, running a traffic light for UC's graduation had
Speaker 5: nothing to do with this whole situation.
Speaker 2: And the the it was the Cincin Police Department who
Speaker 2: were involved in the investigation that's still in vehicle, which
Speaker 2: ultimately led to Ryan Hinton's death. Correct, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: So he killed a sheriff's deputy, so not even the
Speaker 2: same uniform as the organization that was involved in his
Speaker 2: son's death.
Speaker 5: Right now. I mean, this is just pure evil that
Speaker 5: wanted to target a police officer because his eighteen year
Speaker 5: old son decided to make some terrible decisions that cost
Speaker 5: him his life. You forced the police officer to take
Speaker 5: his life, and because of that, he decided that the
Speaker 5: retribution was to find the first cop that he had
Speaker 5: the opportunity to kill. It's just it's pure evil, is
Speaker 5: all it is.
Speaker 2: It is and with all the witnesses and evidence, there's
Speaker 2: not a question in my mind he's going to be
Speaker 2: found guilty. But turning back to the shooting, who did
Speaker 2: And I know you had commented before the video was
Speaker 2: released that the video was going to, you know, provide
Speaker 2: pretty clear information that it was a justifiable shooting, and
Speaker 2: I know Police Chief three Teresa Thiji says it was justified.
Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed that it wasn't more evident
Speaker 2: that the gun was pointed at the officer. Are we
Speaker 2: missing some details on that the shooting incident?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, here's the bottom line. You have these
Speaker 5: body cameras that and I went to recently to a
Speaker 5: class that talks about body cameras and what their capabilities are.
Speaker 5: That lens in these body cameras and these acts on
Speaker 5: body cameras. The lens cost a total of eight cents.
Speaker 5: So it's really no surprise when you talk about, you know,
Speaker 5: somebody that's wearing a camera that is running as well
Speaker 5: as a suspect that's running, that it's not going to
Speaker 5: capture everything. It's not a surprise. It was blurry at
Speaker 5: some point in society. You know, we've got to get
Speaker 5: back to we're going to believe what a police officer says,
Speaker 5: an officer that is sworn to take an oath that
Speaker 5: is is the epitome of integrity. We've got to start
Speaker 5: believing that if this officer says this just because it's
Speaker 5: not captured because the video is blurry, when are we
Speaker 5: to decide that we're gonna believe what a police officer
Speaker 5: says instead of saying, well, if it's not on camera,
Speaker 5: if it's not so clear on this camera what happened,
Speaker 5: then we're not going to believe it. It's true. That's
Speaker 5: what we have to get back to in society.
Speaker 2: Well, and the other component is people fail to put
Speaker 2: themselves in the position of a police officer. And that
Speaker 2: officer was aware because if I got the details right,
Speaker 2: and you can correct me if I'm wrong, because I
Speaker 2: don't want to get up and get bad information out there. Ken,
Speaker 2: But the radio was on and going back and forth
Speaker 2: among the officers. He was told in advance the kid
Speaker 2: had a firearm on him. Correct, So he's gonna you
Speaker 2: can go ahead. Sorry, no, I'm just kidding. So he's
Speaker 2: on alert the kid. The kid's got a gun. For
Speaker 2: God's sake, my life is in peril, and the community's
Speaker 2: life is in peril. My other officer's lives may be
Speaker 2: in peril. So you got a heightened sense of awareness
Speaker 2: and adrenaline flowing and concern that coming around that dumpster
Speaker 2: is a kid with a gun.
Speaker 5: You can hear that on the body camera. You can
Speaker 5: hear the other officer yelling he's got a gun. He's
Speaker 5: got a gun. He's got a gun. He's on your right,
Speaker 5: so that that can all be heard on the audio.
Speaker 5: And this police officer is simply trying to protect the community.
Speaker 5: There's no question as to whether this guy had a gun. Oh,
Speaker 5: the only question is and there's no question that he
Speaker 5: was armed. There's no question he ran with a gun.
Speaker 5: The question is, well, it doesn't show on the video
Speaker 5: specifically that that he pointed it at him. But when
Speaker 5: you watch the video, if you slow it down, you
Speaker 5: can see you know where the officer or where the
Speaker 5: suspect is, what he's doing, and in fact, he was
Speaker 5: shot in the chest. Now, I don't know in what
Speaker 5: world people live, but if you shoot someone in the chest,
Speaker 5: it's hard to say that they were running away from you.
Speaker 2: That's that's the reality.
Speaker 5: He was shot twice once in the chest. The second
Speaker 5: time was in his arm that went through his chest.
Speaker 2: And I said, the other component is in that situation,
Speaker 2: he's brandishing a firearm and I mean it only takes
Speaker 2: us a moment's time for that firearm and the appointing
Speaker 2: directly a police officer and in your in. Again, it's
Speaker 2: a situational awareness kind of thing. I mean, you have
Speaker 2: to be in a position to be able to defend
Speaker 2: and protect yourself. And if you're that far away from
Speaker 2: it's not like you pull a taser out and tase
Speaker 2: the guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, there's nothing that says, you know, when
Speaker 5: a police officer use deadly force that they have to
Speaker 5: you know, they have to have you know, been shot
Speaker 5: at or anything like that. All it says, constitution says,
Speaker 5: and what our rules, if you will, of engagement say
Speaker 5: is that you have to believe that your life or
Speaker 5: the life of another is in danger. That's exactly what
Speaker 5: that officer did. It's an officer has a lot of experience.
Speaker 5: That's a fantastic police officer that in that time he
Speaker 5: thought that his life was in danger and he did
Speaker 5: exactly what he should have done. And instead of you know,
Speaker 5: these community members that are all up in arms about this.
Speaker 5: Instead of them going did this offs act reasonable? Which
Speaker 5: is absolutely true, the blame should be put on this
Speaker 5: eighteen year old kid that's running from a stolen car
Speaker 5: with a gun that decided to make a decision that
Speaker 5: forced this officer to take his life. That's where the
Speaker 5: blame is, not on this police officer who is protecting his.
Speaker 2: Community eminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm or death right.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you reasonably believe that your life is
Speaker 2: in danger, then you're a title to use deadly force.
Speaker 5: That's the law. Yeah, it's pretty simple. That is what
Speaker 5: the law says. And that's exactly what he did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any any understanding about where this firearm came. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's an eighteen year old kid carry a clock twenty
Speaker 2: three with an extended mag and I guess I can
Speaker 2: understand parents being upset about their their son being killed,
Speaker 2: But the idea that you would go and kill an
Speaker 2: unrelated sheriff's deputy over this just is kind of mind
Speaker 2: boggling when you have to look at the circumstances. Your
Speaker 2: kid was running around with a firearm and wasn't even
Speaker 2: lawfully entitled to carry one, and I suspect the thing
Speaker 2: was probably stolen. Anyway, I'll hold your comment and thought
Speaker 2: on that, Ken, because we're out of time in this segment,
Speaker 2: I want to bring you back for a few more
Speaker 2: words from Ken Cover FOP President on this absolute tragedy.
Speaker 2: Six thirty seven right now fifty five k CEV talk
Speaker 2: station recommendation for you to get to well seven zero
Speaker 2: eight three thousand dot com. Why that's where you find
Speaker 2: the best team of real estate agents in the Tri State.
Speaker 2: That's Peter Schubura, Kellerwilliams seven Hills, outstanding of what they do.
Speaker 2: And I always like to emphasize providing true value. You
Speaker 2: need a buyer's agent or seller's agent. You want to
Speaker 2: get a return, and they provide a great return what
Speaker 2: we call a five star experience with programs that nobody
Speaker 2: else is offering, including let me emphasize this one concerning
Speaker 2: the subject matter of our conversation going on the Patriot
Speaker 2: Home program developed by veterans to help patriots buy and
Speaker 2: sell their homes veterans, folks at the VA, the police Department,
Speaker 2: fire sheriff's deputies, EMS. You get ten percent of the
Speaker 2: commission back it's a rebate at closing just for well
Speaker 2: serving the community, and I think that's a great thing.
Speaker 2: The Shibri Group is doing just one of many programs
Speaker 2: they have. I was recommend you check out the website

Speaker 2: programs and about what the team can do for you.
Speaker 2: The best in the business and the only ones I
Speaker 2: would consider contacting if I was going to buy or
Speaker 2: sell a home. Five one three seven zero eight three thousand.
Speaker 6: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 4: What if you had an extra thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: You'd be free to do it.
Speaker 2: Times with FOP President Ken Kober talking about the officer
Speaker 2: involved shooting with Ryan Hinton which led to his father
Speaker 2: murdering Deputy Larry Henderson, who had no connection with the
Speaker 2: officer involved shooting. High tension situations, stolen vehicle. Ryan Hinton,
Speaker 2: the late one of four kids in the stolen vehicle,
Speaker 2: ran from police officers. Ryan of course had the firearm
Speaker 2: in his hand. As we know, Budyo camera footag our
Speaker 2: body video from the Sheriff's deputies proved that that was
Speaker 2: indeed the case, and as kenn has pointed out, you know,
Speaker 2: you don't have to have the gun directly aim with
Speaker 2: the melon of the police officer. If you have an
Speaker 2: eminent apper, a reasonable eminent apprehension of reasonable bodily harm
Speaker 2: or grievous bodily harm, you're allowed to use deadly force.
Speaker 2: It's the law. And of course Ken defends the officers shooting.
Speaker 2: So Ryan Hinton's dead. How in the hell is it
Speaker 2: that an eighteen year old was carrying around a glock?
Speaker 2: And you face this kind of thing each and every
Speaker 2: day in the police department, don't you, Ken?
Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, And that's something that's that's still being investigated,
Speaker 5: is how that came about. You know, there was another
Speaker 5: stolen gun in the car. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 5: something that never should have happened, you know. I know.
Speaker 5: One of the things that has been talked about is
Speaker 5: why did this kid get out of the car and
Speaker 5: run with a gun? You know why is he's running
Speaker 5: the gun drops, he drops the gun and then he
Speaker 5: picks it up anyway and then runs to the dumpsters
Speaker 5: and points it at a cop. It's like, why did
Speaker 5: he do all these things? All he did to do
Speaker 5: is get out of the car and run. You'll leave
Speaker 5: the gun in the car. You know, once you drop
Speaker 5: the gun, just leave it and run, you know, if
Speaker 5: that's what you want to do. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 5: exactly what we expect from these criminals that are stealing cars,
Speaker 5: stealing guns. Just run from the police. And this never happens.
Speaker 5: I mean, these were just fatal mistakes that were made
Speaker 5: by an eighteen year old kid that either either wasn't taught,
Speaker 5: you know, growing up, how to be a respectful human being,
Speaker 5: or he just decided to make bad decisions. You know,
Speaker 5: this is this is one of these things where the
Speaker 5: police are certainly you feel terrible, terrible that this happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're terrible.
Speaker 5: For the family that that this eighteen year old made
Speaker 5: these horrible mistakes. But it's just what it was. These
Speaker 5: were mistakes that he made that led to his death,
Speaker 5: not the police officer.
Speaker 2: And as far as the police officers concern, what's what's
Speaker 2: the next step for the police officer?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean right now he's off on administrative leave
Speaker 5: trying to trying to process this. I've been in contact
Speaker 5: with him, and you know, it's bad enough you have
Speaker 5: to deal what the fact that you took somebody's life
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden the next day, you know,
Speaker 5: now you have a deputy, you know that that gets
Speaker 5: murdered simply for doing his job by the same family
Speaker 5: that created this mess on Thursday. And it's just it's
Speaker 5: a tragic all around. I mean, trying to process this,
Speaker 5: you talking to sheriff's deputy's talking to you know, city
Speaker 5: police officers that I work with, and you know, trying
Speaker 5: to process this mess right now is just it's it's
Speaker 5: been very, very difficult.
Speaker 2: Well and you know, as to the officer processing this,
Speaker 2: imagine he's got to feel absolutely terrible about it. And
Speaker 2: I've got one listener out there who thinks that the
Speaker 2: reason people get into law enforcement because they want to
Speaker 2: shoot people. And I've called him out about that before
Speaker 2: and I say, absolute utter nonsense, Barber STERI saying, if
Speaker 2: you will, but you know, speak to someone who actually
Speaker 2: thinks along those lines.
Speaker 5: Can I mean, there's just no reasoning with somebody like that.
Speaker 5: You know, having having been in law enforcement for nearly
Speaker 5: twenty five years, I've been in these situations. It's terrible.
Speaker 5: Nobody nobody wants to go to work and go you
Speaker 5: know what, I feel like shooting somebody tonight. I mean
Speaker 5: that is just that defies all sensibilities. Well, nobody wants
Speaker 5: to go through this, Nobody wants to have to live
Speaker 5: with the fact that they had to take somebody's life.
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody comes to work every day going and
Speaker 5: I hope today is just a really nice, easy day
Speaker 5: to be able to get through.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 5: And unfortunately that just wasn't that on Thursday.
Speaker 2: Well, and to the extent someone actually harbors those feelings inside,
Speaker 2: they're weeded out when they go through the academy, are
Speaker 2: they not?
Speaker 5: Without a doubt? I mean, you have a psychological exam
Speaker 5: that's roughly three hundred question psychological evaluation that you take,
Speaker 5: and then you go meet with a psychiatrist that will evaluate,
Speaker 5: you know, the questions that you answered, how you answered them.
Speaker 5: And then you know, you have a face to face
Speaker 5: fifteen to twenty minute interview with a psychiatrist that evaluates
Speaker 5: your body language, all of these things, what you say,
Speaker 5: how you're saying it to determine whether or not you
Speaker 5: seem like you would be some that would be fit
Speaker 5: to do this job well.
Speaker 2: And I take great comfort in knowing that. And finally,
Speaker 2: before we part company, Ken Cob and I appreciate your
Speaker 2: time today. Any word out there, I mean, you do
Speaker 2: the police follow social media and anticipation of something like this,
Speaker 2: leading to what we've seen before, in spite of the
Speaker 2: facts and circumstances, people will nonetheless take to the streets
Speaker 2: and protest police behavior, like Black Lives Matter, for example.
Speaker 2: Any rumblings out there in the world about that potential.
Speaker 5: You know, we've had investigators that have been honitoring social
Speaker 5: media and all these things all weekend, and we've had
Speaker 5: death threats that hey, it's time to go kill some
Speaker 5: more cops, and you know, it appears that for the
Speaker 5: most part, this has just been a bunch of keyboard
Speaker 5: warriors that are you know, no doubt, I get it.
Speaker 5: They're probably grieving too. There's some of them that are
Speaker 5: just there for nefarious reasons that could give two hoots
Speaker 5: about whether you know, it's the hitt And family or
Speaker 5: the police that just want to try to stir up
Speaker 5: a mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's really so far, I mean, there hasn't
Speaker 5: been anything that's been credible, but it's certainly something that
Speaker 5: you know, we've been monitoring just to make sure that
Speaker 5: you know, the city is safe, that the county safe
Speaker 5: all the citizens that are here. So there hasn't been
Speaker 5: anything terribly credible yet. Hopefully everybody decides to grief peacefully.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so far, I think everything's kind of been okay.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll pray that the situation remains calm and collected
Speaker 2: and people approach it exactly the way that you pointed out. Ken.
Speaker 2: I don't envy you and your job at this point
Speaker 2: in time, but I appreciate your willingness to talk to
Speaker 2: my listeners about the situation on behalf of all of
Speaker 2: my listening audience, and I speak with the exception of
Speaker 2: one apparently, we all support you and appreciate what you
Speaker 2: do each and every day, putting your lives on the
Speaker 2: line for the safety of the community. And thank you
Speaker 2: for doing so.
Speaker 5: All right, Brian, thanks for having.
Speaker 2: Me my pleasure. Ken, take care. It's six forty eight
Speaker 2: if you have cares of the toxication looks like New
Speaker 2: Hampshire Greys on the line with the comment look forward
Speaker 2: to talking to you Gary if you hold on for
Speaker 2: one couple minutes. Here we write back with you. After
Speaker 2: I mentioned affordable medical imaging where you can save literally
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars. Got my next CT scan scheduled coming
Speaker 2: up in June in advance of my follow up appointment
Speaker 2: to see if the lymph notes grew again. That's another
Speaker 2: CT scan where I'm going to save thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: because it's only going to be well to be six
Speaker 2: hundred dollars because I get a contrast. It will be
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty bucks for a CT scan if
Speaker 2: I didn't get a contrast MRIs. Don't pay thirty five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars or more of the hospital, get one for
Speaker 2: four hundred and ninety five dollars at Affordable Imaging Services

Speaker 2: Crae if you about ARSD talk station and goes straight
Speaker 2: to the phone, s Amster, Gary is held. Thanks for
Speaker 2: holding Gary good here from this morning.
Speaker 11: It's good to hear from you, Brian. I was going
Speaker 11: to talk about something from the Daily Wire. There's really
Speaker 11: a good article about Cannon Mills, the governor of Maine,
Speaker 11: and why she's so pro transagenda. It really it follows
Speaker 11: that really good how they followed the money and they
Speaker 11: found out that there's a lot of money. But I
Speaker 11: have to tell you, after listening to that previous section
Speaker 11: about this terrible situation, it literally takes my breath away,
Speaker 11: and I can think of nothing other than it appears
Speaker 11: that the father, you know, the son the apple didn't
Speaker 11: fall far from the tree in this hate that really
Speaker 11: is in destructive to society.
Speaker 5: And it's just it's.
Speaker 11: It's I don't know, it just it really is.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 5: It's sad.
Speaker 11: Is it's beyond that to watch such a deterioration of
Speaker 11: societal norms just go away. I mean, I don't believe
Speaker 11: I've ever heard of a father just going after a
Speaker 11: law enforcement because his son was killed. I don't think
Speaker 11: I've ever heard of that in our country.
Speaker 2: I haven't mafia.
Speaker 11: It's just I mean, it's it's another slow you mentioned.
Speaker 2: You mentioned mafia. I would think that that might come
Speaker 2: up in a situation where there is a specific member
Speaker 2: of law enforcement that's involved in some way with the
Speaker 2: motivation for wanting to have that person killed. They were
Speaker 2: doing an investigation, or they're the ones that arrested one
Speaker 2: of their guys, or there's a connection to the under
Speaker 2: there's something underlying. In this particular case, this was Deputy
Speaker 2: Larry Henderson, no connection whatsoever, not even wearing the same uniform.
Speaker 2: He's a retired Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy. He's not a
Speaker 2: Cincinnati police officer. I mean, I know, you can't make
Speaker 2: an argument that would have been more justified if Ronnie
Speaker 2: Hitton Junior had run over and killed a Cincinnati police officer.
Speaker 2: But at least you can make the argument it's coming
Speaker 2: from the same force. In this case, Larry's his mine
Speaker 2: in his own business, you know, in his retirement working
Speaker 2: as an assistant you off, you know, not an active deputy,
Speaker 2: but doing deputy work. Because he's got the skill sets
Speaker 2: and agreed to volunteer to do it. It's it's insane, man.
Speaker 11: It reminds me of a briefing I got when I
Speaker 11: was in the Middle East. They told us what blood
Speaker 11: letting was, and I was like, okay, So like, if
Speaker 11: you look at somebody's daughter or wife, then that man
Speaker 11: holds a grudge because you have a uniform on or
Speaker 11: because he sets you out from their tribe. His job
Speaker 11: in blood letting is he may not kill you, he
Speaker 11: will kill the first person from that tribe.
Speaker 5: It's it's it's it's said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it what it is, it is said. It's beyond set. Well,
Speaker 2: appreciate your observations this morning, Hampshire Grey. I hope you
Speaker 2: can have a nice Monday in spite of the subject
Speaker 2: matter we're talking about today. Speaking of subject matter, tomorrow,
Speaker 2: it's election day and Jennifer Gross, State Representative Gross from
Speaker 2: District forty five is going to join the pernem to
Speaker 2: talk us about talk to us about why we should
Speaker 2: vote no on issue too, followed by Christopher Smith Aman
Speaker 2: be right back after the news.
Speaker 1: News happens fast, stay up to date. At the top
Speaker 1: of the hour. We're moving very quickly. Fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: the talk station.
Speaker 2: This report make us your number one preset for instance,
Speaker 2: access to your world.
Speaker 1: Couldn't live without it.
Speaker 2: Fifty five krs the talk station. It's seven six if
Speaker 2: a five percg talk station. Very happy Monday, Election Day eve.
Speaker 2: Everybody has at least one issue to vote on, although
Speaker 2: you may have a school levey to vote on or
Speaker 2: some other local issue. Here to join the fifty five
Speaker 2: Carricy Morning Show, and we thank you very much for
Speaker 2: doing so. State Representative Jennifer Gross representing District forty five
Speaker 2: and she's with me. I'm a hard strong no on
Speaker 2: issue too. Jennifer, welcome to the program.
Speaker 14: Thank you, Brian, good morning.
Speaker 2: Now, first off, this is a constitutional amendment my correct.
Speaker 14: Correct, and based on the ballot by your legislature.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know what what to deal with that.
Speaker 2: I have read. This enjoys bipartisan support and business organizations
Speaker 2: can many organizations say the behind this before we dive
Speaker 2: into the why we should vote no on it? What
Speaker 2: is it supposed to accomplish? Issue too?
Speaker 14: Well, let's go back, if you don't mind, Brian, a
Speaker 14: little bit to the history. In nineteen eighty seven, This
Speaker 14: was started by Democrat Governor Celeste, and it was supposedly
Speaker 14: started because our roads were in such disrepair, and back
Speaker 14: then our gas tax was fourteen cents now it's thirty
Speaker 14: eight point five cents per gallon. It was to fund
Speaker 14: local projects because our highways were in great disrepair. The
Speaker 14: highway system had been utilized more often for manufacturing, and
Speaker 14: we had lots and lots of projects, largely local, a
Speaker 14: lot of those too. But the transportation budget is also
Speaker 14: another revenue stream that we use. So we already had
Speaker 14: the transportation budget and they said, well, we need a
Speaker 14: bump of money, so Celeste put it on the ballot
Speaker 14: for five hundred million dollars. Now it's they're asking for
Speaker 14: two point five billion. And the projects were supposed to
Speaker 14: be basically, you know, we had a backlog of local
Speaker 14: infrastructure needs back then in nineteen eighty seven. And yet
Speaker 14: every ten years we keep renewing this. So just a
Speaker 14: little bit of the history.
Speaker 2: So this takes away the tenure renewal and ensurnes it
Speaker 2: in the constitution, so it's always funded.
Speaker 14: Yes, it's always been. So it was placed in the
Speaker 14: constitution every ten years, yes, sir, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So question first thought out of the gate here, Jennifer,
Speaker 2: why do we need this separate pool of money? You
Speaker 2: mentioned specifically something I was going to ask about. The
Speaker 2: gas tax is supposed to fund road improvements and maintain infrastructure.
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you take in in Ohio
Speaker 2: annually on the gas tax, but it is that an
Speaker 2: insufficient revenue source? And if so, doesn't that require elected
Speaker 2: officials to allocate additional funds for the roads, maybe to
Speaker 2: the exclusion of some other fun new stuff and things
Speaker 2: the state might take on.
Speaker 14: Very good thinking, Brian, That's exactly my thought process. The
Speaker 14: transportation budget was just passed, and it passed with at
Speaker 14: eleven point five billion dollars, and that is supposed to
Speaker 14: cover you guessed it, roads and bridge is Federal vehicle
Speaker 14: registration helps safe for that as well, you know, the highways.
Speaker 5: Local projects.
Speaker 14: The transportation budget covers all the things, or the majority
Speaker 14: of the things they're asking for in this bond issue,
Speaker 14: which is fascinating. So if the people choose not to
Speaker 14: pass this, it would send it back to us, the legislature,
Speaker 14: and require us to use your money more fiscally sound.
Speaker 2: So by allowing the bonds to be issued, that just
Speaker 2: means the money's being borrowed and then we've got to
Speaker 2: pay it back with interest.
Speaker 14: Correct, correct, And you're absolutely right. I'm sorry I didn't
Speaker 14: answer your question quite fully before about another funding source.
Speaker 14: We have five budgets already, you know, we have BWC
Speaker 14: and the General Revenue Fund, and the Transportation budget, and
Speaker 14: the capital budget and another budget called the IC budget.
Speaker 14: This is a sixth revenue stream, and we're asking the
Speaker 14: people for more money. We're already spending eleven point five
Speaker 14: on the transportation budget. We're asking for another funding stream.
Speaker 14: And you know, I just but it's debt.
Speaker 2: I mean, the funding stream is borrowing money. So you've
Speaker 2: got to do You've got to do financial obligation every
Speaker 2: and every counter year in the budget, which is servicing
Speaker 2: the debt that you borrowed to fund this particular fund.
Speaker 5: That's right, that's.
Speaker 14: Right, and it's bombs have debt and an interest to
Speaker 14: be paid back.
Speaker 2: All right now, going to this is just layers are
Speaker 2: stupid from my perspective, Jennifer, I apologize, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I just it really it bothers me. You would think
Speaker 2: that the Columbus it We've got a bunch of Republicans
Speaker 2: dominating the House and the Senate and the and the governor,
Speaker 2: you would think there would be more fiscal responsibility and
Speaker 2: more willingness to manage dollars rather than do something like this.
Speaker 2: So I'm frustrated by this happening in Ohio, but I'm
Speaker 2: used to it by now with Columbus the way it
Speaker 2: operates now. Allegedly, the grants that are dealt with in
Speaker 2: this cover roads, bridges, water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater collection,
Speaker 2: and solid waste disposal. Now, since I live in the
Speaker 2: Greater Cincinnati area, if city council had control over any
Speaker 2: one of these given projects with the money that are
Speaker 2: coming from these bonds being issued, it will be some
Speaker 2: outrageously outlandish green focused projects. So we're going to deal
Speaker 2: with wastewater, but we're not going to do it in
Speaker 2: the most energy for the most efficient way, mining the
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars. We're going to do something really crazy and
Speaker 2: far more expensive in the name of I don't know,
Speaker 2: climate change or something, and only by the way it's
Speaker 2: going to be mandated at all. This is being done
Speaker 2: by union scale wage and all the extra do deads,
Speaker 2: and so I'm just looking at.
Speaker 14: It Yes, Yes, Ryan, Did you see the vote yes
Speaker 14: on Issue Too signs? Who does that? Does your legislature
Speaker 14: pay money to tell you to vote yet?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 14: So if someone's spending money to get you to vote
Speaker 14: yes on Issue Too, but your legislature put it on
Speaker 14: the ballot, which I voted against putting it on the ballot.
Speaker 14: By the way, let's be clear, there were four of
Speaker 14: us who voted against putting it on the ballot. But
Speaker 14: if someone's paying money for signs to get you to
Speaker 14: vote yes on Issue Too, why do you think they'd
Speaker 14: be doing that.
Speaker 2: They're going to be the recipients of the project money
Speaker 2: because they're going to get the contract.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I believe you hit that on the nose. And look,
Speaker 14: I have no you know, personal problem with and I
Speaker 14: don't even know actually the people directly behind the signs.
Speaker 14: But here's what I do know. If you're going to
Speaker 14: spend money to try to get us to vote yes,
Speaker 14: there's some benefit to you to spend that money. And
Speaker 14: so you're absolutely right the people that are going to
Speaker 14: get the contracts and all of that. The other thing
Speaker 14: that's to concern to me is this, there's no clear
Speaker 14: direction as to who would get those projects, is it
Speaker 14: the biggest project? Because I had someone not in my district,
Speaker 14: but I had someone call me and say, you know,
Speaker 14: it's been two decades and we have this bridge we'd
Speaker 14: have we've had to lower load on because we can't
Speaker 14: get it fixed. So even though we keep approving all
Speaker 14: this money, we're not getting the project. And they're in
Speaker 14: a small rural county in Ohio. So how how are
Speaker 14: the projects being spent? How are they divvied out? How
Speaker 14: do we determine? And it is my understanding that once again,
Speaker 14: when we spend this money, we also then draw down
Speaker 14: additional funds from the federal government. I don't know if
Speaker 14: you're if everybody understands what that means. What does draw
Speaker 14: down from the federal government mean. It means that if
Speaker 14: you're telling me that you think the federal government is
Speaker 14: blowed and bloated and overgrown, that Ohio has to stop
Speaker 14: spending money locally just to get more money from the
Speaker 14: federal government. So, for instance, for every dollar we spend,
Speaker 14: four dollars comes back from the federal government. In some
Speaker 14: of these projects, we have federal highway funds and things
Speaker 14: like that that we then when we spend the money
Speaker 14: the federal the federal government matches us a certain amount.
Speaker 14: The federal government has to spend more money at the
Speaker 14: federal level when we spend money, and that's an agreement
Speaker 14: that we've made which makes Ohio dependent on federal funds.
Speaker 2: And going back to my climate change focused projects, if
Speaker 2: money comes from the Feds, it's going to come with
Speaker 2: strings attached. That always does.
Speaker 14: Exactly, exactly, just like our money did to the state,
Speaker 14: requiring us to keep anybody who lost their jobs on
Speaker 14: Medicaid for three years even if they got their job back.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, well obviously made some wonderful reasons and explained
Speaker 2: why we should vote no on this. Now in final conclusion,
Speaker 2: I kind of alluded to it. Who decides ultimately which
Speaker 2: projects get funded. There's probably a million projects and this
Speaker 2: money would in no way, shape or form cover every
Speaker 2: project that every municipality wants done. So who determines where
Speaker 2: the money goes?
Speaker 14: I would be mistaken to tell you for sure, But
Speaker 14: obviously with this amount of money there needs to be
Speaker 14: a type of controlling board that would determine it. The
Speaker 14: challenge is what are those what are those determinants? How
Speaker 14: do we know who gets prioritized there is a larger
Speaker 14: city like Cincinnati, when they have a project, do they
Speaker 14: get do they get higher priority? Because somebody in Giaga,
Speaker 14: Giaga County needs something and they can't you know, they're
Speaker 14: so small that they don't have the same voice.
Speaker 4: Perhaps we need.
Speaker 14: To require an audit, you know, from the auditor on this,
Speaker 14: just to be clear.
Speaker 2: I think that's a good idea of money going well.
Speaker 2: And you know, wherever there's more money, higher concentration of people,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, Franklin County or Cuyahoga County or
Speaker 2: here in Hamilton County, that's where the campaign contributions come from,
Speaker 2: which is probably why they'd be more likely to get
Speaker 2: the project done than someone out in Yaga County just
Speaker 2: throwing it out there.
Speaker 14: Unfortunately. Unfortunately, Yes, that can be the case. An influential
Speaker 14: for sure.
Speaker 2: So I've been boiling down as a it's a slush fund,
Speaker 2: which is a bad thing. So that's what I've been
Speaker 2: calling it. So it sounds me like I can continue
Speaker 2: to label at a slush fund.
Speaker 14: I think so, because Brian, really, if it's not approved,
Speaker 14: then we need to come up with the money. You know,
Speaker 14: I was told, well, then we're going to have to
Speaker 14: increase taxes. Why is that the case? Our revenue is
Speaker 14: I voted against the general operating budget that we just
Speaker 14: voted on with the six hundred million to the stadium.
Speaker 14: I'm sure you don't want to get into that today,
Speaker 14: but I get tired of hearing I'll give you a
Speaker 14: you know, if you give me a cheeseburger today, I'll
Speaker 14: give you a dollar tomorrow. I'm tired of of us.
Speaker 14: Our revenue stream is very, very strong, and yet we
Speaker 14: keep spending the people's money with no property tax relief.
Speaker 14: We solve an income tax and so to me, yes,
Speaker 14: if this is not passed, it requires your legislature to
Speaker 14: make some hard choices on how we're spending our dollars.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's their job. Jennifer Gross proudly representing and
Speaker 2: wonderfully representing District forty five. Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: coming on the program and explaining this to my listeners

Speaker 6: This is fifty five krc AN iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Guys, are you tired of being? If any have KRCD
Speaker 2: Talk station, a very happy Monday to you. Always made
Speaker 2: it extra special. This is the point of the week
Speaker 2: and the show when we get to hear from the
Speaker 2: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, what we
Speaker 2: call the smither Van, Christopher Smithman. Welcome back to the
Speaker 2: morning show. And I never know what you're going to
Speaker 2: talk about, but I think today I could probably guess.
Speaker 9: Yeah, brother, it's a somber day.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 9: And I definitely heard from the FOP President Ken Kober.
Speaker 9: I thought he did a good job, you know, explaining,
Speaker 9: supporting and be clear with good common sense of what
Speaker 9: we need to be doing. You know, I'm a former
Speaker 9: elected official, but let me just start off with humanity.
Speaker 9: I think that's where common sense starts, you know, extending
Speaker 9: my deepest condolences to Deputy Marry Henderson and his family,
Speaker 9: you know, his parents, his nephews, his nieces, his first cousins.
Speaker 9: I mean, what we do in our society, unfortunately, Brian Thomas,
Speaker 9: is we dehumanize our peace officers, all six hundred thousand
Speaker 9: plus of them across the United States of America, and
Speaker 9: we do that by talking about things like defunding the
Speaker 9: police department, or reimagining the police department, or Tuesday Morning
Speaker 9: quarterbacking split second decisions that your sister, who is a
Speaker 9: former Cincinnati police officer, had to make or saw her
Speaker 9: colleagues have to make in her career. And so part
Speaker 9: of this lack of common sense, you know, you see
Speaker 9: it permeating out on social media as the officer who
Speaker 9: is our administrative lead, which is just a part of
Speaker 9: the process as he goes through counseling, as if this
Speaker 9: doesn't impact his life, meaning someone who has to take
Speaker 9: the life of someone, but to deal with this father
Speaker 9: who decided the next day to randomly select choose this
Speaker 9: assassination of Deputy Larry Henderson is absolutely outrageous. It's so
Speaker 9: over the top. And I heard the FOP president say,
Speaker 9: or I heard one of your callers say, I don't
Speaker 9: know of this happening anywhere else in the country.
Speaker 8: I've never heard.
Speaker 9: Of anything like this before. And so to find one
Speaker 9: person on the planet, which is scary out on social
Speaker 9: media that thinks that this was okay, that they found
Speaker 9: some solace in it or some sense in it, makes
Speaker 9: no sense to me. This man is out retired after
Speaker 9: thirty three years, he's doing traffic up the time the
Speaker 9: University of Cincinnati. I'm sure he got up, put his
Speaker 9: pants on, put his uniform, more, said goodbye to his family,
Speaker 9: and went to work. And this is what you and
Speaker 9: I talk about over and over again, how peace officers
Speaker 9: deserve to come home to their families. And we know
Speaker 9: that they're targets and uniforms because we're seeing it in
Speaker 9: New York, we're seeing it in Chicago, We're seeing it
Speaker 9: in our major cities like LA where people are just
Speaker 9: walking up officers or in their cruisers and they're targeting them.
Speaker 9: And so to find anybody on the planet who thinks
Speaker 9: that this is okay, it's a major problem. Brian Thomas,
Speaker 9: I feel so bad this morning for Deputy Larry Henderson,
Speaker 9: who gave thirty three years of service to our county
Speaker 9: to end his to have his life ended this way,
Speaker 9: and to have anybody think it's okay. It's so over
Speaker 9: the top and outrageous.
Speaker 2: Well, I just think about it. You know, it's like
Speaker 2: this de evolutionist society. How you can't explain mass school shootings,
Speaker 2: How can you anybody target an innocent child for anything,
Speaker 2: shooting the United Health CEO in the back of the head,
Speaker 2: and that people are celebrating that and defending that murderer.
Speaker 2: I mean, a conscious decision was made to kill that
Speaker 2: I think was Brian Thompson was his name, walked up
Speaker 2: behind him and shot him in the back of the head.
Speaker 2: And yet people are out there defending this guy and
Speaker 2: singing his praises. We live in a crazy world. Christopher
Speaker 2: Smithman absolutely unhinged seven twenty nine. If at about Kersee
Speaker 2: talk station and talking with Christopher Smithman, former Vice mayor
Speaker 2: of the City of Cincinnati, doing that smither vent thing,
Speaker 2: Christopher interrupted, You were going to make another comment that
Speaker 2: we're talking, of course, about this unbelievably horrific tragedy where
Speaker 2: Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy was intentionally killed by the father
Speaker 2: of the eighteen year old who was carrying a glock
Speaker 2: twenty three forty caliber with an extended magazine. Footchase with
Speaker 2: the police after getting out of a stolen car, officers
Speaker 2: talking to each other. Sinceint police officers were involved in
Speaker 2: that shooting, they were aware that he had a firearm
Speaker 2: and he was the officer that shot the kid was
Speaker 2: told that he was around on his right and kid
Speaker 2: pops out of nowhere, and there he is with the
Speaker 2: gun in his hand, and he responded accordingly. He had
Speaker 2: imminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm, which is the standard
Speaker 2: you need to justify a deadly force, and he got
Speaker 2: deadly force. You know, why was he carrying around a
Speaker 2: glock eighteen years old? Why did he run from deputies
Speaker 2: in the first place. Why did he just not drop
Speaker 2: the weapon and run? You heard all that from FFP
Speaker 2: President Ken Cover. I did.
Speaker 9: I want to add on the practical, common sense part
Speaker 9: of this as a person who's not a law enforcement officer,
Speaker 9: but I have five children, four boys. I happened to
Speaker 9: be African American, but I'm an American and I'm raising
Speaker 9: these kids like everybody else is raising their kids. Who
Speaker 9: were listening to this our conversation this morning, and it
Speaker 9: wasn't and it is not easy being a dad. It's
Speaker 9: just not being a parent in today's society is very complicated.
Speaker 9: There's so many distractions for our children. But I didn't
Speaker 9: play as a father, Brian Thomas, I didn't play my
Speaker 9: four kids even any of them could have been in
Speaker 9: that situation. The intervention in all of this is great parenting.
Speaker 9: I always wake up every day and say, I want
Speaker 9: to be the Michael Jordan of being a dad. Being
Speaker 9: a parent, that means you gotta be there, you gotta
Speaker 9: be present, you gotta make tough decisions. You got to
Speaker 9: invest in your kids. You just can't just have kids.
Speaker 9: And I don't know what this kid's situation is, but
Speaker 9: all I can tell you is I worked hard to
Speaker 9: make sure that my children did not end up in
Speaker 9: this situation. And guess what, it doesn't matter whether you're
Speaker 9: white or your Latino, are your African American, are your Asian?
Speaker 9: Any of our kids could end up in a situation
Speaker 9: like this if as a parent, and particularly a father,
Speaker 9: you are not on top of your children. So I
Speaker 9: brag about being a great parent because there's been It's
Speaker 9: been great sacrifice. And so when I hear things like this,
Speaker 9: someone stole a car, someone is in a stolen car,
Speaker 9: someone has a weapon, someone has extended ammunition on that firearm.
Speaker 9: Someone gets out of a car running, picks it up,
Speaker 9: goes somewhere and points it at a police officer. It
Speaker 9: is a recipe like oil and water for something really
Speaker 9: bad to happen, Brian Thomas. And so our common sense
Speaker 9: has to lend here and go listen. Our officers up
Speaker 9: out there have very complicated, serious jobs every single day.
Speaker 9: And I'm talking about not you, Brian Thomas. I'm a
Speaker 9: small I go out there. I haven't hunted in a
Speaker 9: long time, but I do like hunting small games. If
Speaker 9: you've ever been walking next to someone who doesn't know
Speaker 9: how to handle a firearm, anybody listening knows what I'm
Speaker 9: talking about. A new person right, and that firearm comes
Speaker 9: in your direction, You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, Come on,
Speaker 9: you gotta know pick that firearm down to the ground.
Speaker 9: My point is the fear that you have as a
Speaker 9: firearm is coming towards you up in a direction. You're
Speaker 9: not waiting for the firearm tape we pointed at you.
Speaker 9: You're already terrified as it comes in your direction. Am
Speaker 9: I exaggerating?
Speaker 2: Brian Turmas, No, no, no, no no, And yeah, I've been
Speaker 2: in similar circumstances people that aren't familiar with firearms but
Speaker 2: never had one, you know, pointed at me inadvertently. But
Speaker 2: see that would be an inadvertent pointing they weren't pointing
Speaker 2: at me for the purpose of shooting me. You know,
Speaker 2: it was just sort of like, hey, dude, you don't
Speaker 2: ever ever point a loaded firearm another being unless you
Speaker 2: plan on pulling the trigger, because you are justified in
Speaker 2: doing it. The circumstances on this don't even remotely resemble
Speaker 2: that this is kid craying from a stolen car with
Speaker 2: police officers buying. I'm telling them to stop. I mean, correct,
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 9: But that's what I'm saying, Bright, I'm saying, just in
Speaker 9: the normal circumstances, someone who doesn't know how to handle
Speaker 9: a firearm, if it just comes in your direction, imagine
Speaker 9: what that officer is going through out there. It's my point,
Speaker 9: like if you if you've never handled a gun and
Speaker 9: you don't know what I'm talking about, you know, you
Speaker 9: just don't know. But it is terrifying to have a weapon,
Speaker 9: even by a mistake. Now you're talking about somebody who
Speaker 9: might intentionally point a firearm at you.
Speaker 2: It is terrifying, absolutely terrifying, tarifying. Yeah, And that's the
Speaker 2: thing I.
Speaker 9: Said, I and I just say to you that listen,
Speaker 9: anybody out there on social media acting as this it
Speaker 9: was something was Okay, for this depth, Larry Henderson to
Speaker 9: lose his life, right, You've lost your mind. You've got
Speaker 9: to be insane, you have no common sense, and we
Speaker 9: all should be terrified by something like that. And so
Speaker 9: I just continue to support this officer, in this family.
Speaker 9: In this segment, I can't say enough about it. I
Speaker 9: have other things I'm going to talk about, but it
Speaker 9: doesn't mean that. It just diminishes how I feel so
Speaker 9: strongly about his deputy being killed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, comes across.
Speaker 9: It's horrific.
Speaker 2: Seven ifif you five kre CD talk station, Brian Thomas
Speaker 2: and Christopher Smitheman, Christophine, you said he had something else
Speaker 2: to talk about just really quickly being former vice mayor
Speaker 2: of the City of Cincinnati, elected official, I mean, be
Speaker 2: in that capacity if you were still there. I kind
Speaker 2: of figure at some point outside agitators will stir the
Speaker 2: pot and the Black Lives Matter folks will take to
Speaker 2: the streets in protest over this shooting, or maybe some
Speaker 2: other entity or organization. There's already been some pretty awful,
Speaker 2: awful online post as you heard Ken Kober talk about,
Speaker 2: but at least as of right now, they don't anticipate
Speaker 2: anything but that that's of course, like the weather can
Speaker 2: change at any time. What would be your advice and
Speaker 2: your prayer to our elected officials in the city should
Speaker 2: that happen.
Speaker 9: Well, one is it's unfortunate what I haven't seen as
Speaker 9: the vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati and the
Speaker 9: former chair of Law and Public Safety for the City
Speaker 9: of Cincinnati for an extended period of time when I served.
Speaker 9: And so the silence, and I'll address your question, the
Speaker 9: silence coming from city Hall is numbing. There are nine
Speaker 9: elected officials and a mayor. And the clarity meaning my
Speaker 9: clarity as the former vice mayor, and when I served
Speaker 9: as the vice mayor, you know, I always made myself available.
Speaker 9: I always spoke out about these issues no matter what
Speaker 9: was happening. George Floyd violencing, downtown fires being set, shops
Speaker 9: being robbed, I've made myself available. My point is that
Speaker 9: we have elected officials right now who are quiet, right,
Speaker 9: who are not clear, like their voices are piercing through
Speaker 9: the nonsense. That's the problem, right. So first of all,
Speaker 9: my advice to them is to is to come out
Speaker 9: with something that is so clear that you support your
Speaker 9: law enforcement officer, not just your prayers to the sheriff,
Speaker 9: which I absolutely think is the right thing to do,
Speaker 9: but that you support your officer who unfortunately had to
Speaker 9: use his firearm in order to protect his life, which
Speaker 9: ultimately is protecting all of our lives. You don't hear
Speaker 9: that clarity, Brian Thomas coming from city Hall, And I'm
Speaker 9: connecting it directly to the election that we're involved in
Speaker 9: right now, meaning the primary, as you've been talking about
Speaker 9: throughout the morning, is tomorrow. The polls open at six
Speaker 9: thirty am, they close at seven thirty pm. Taylor Park
Speaker 9: good turnout, We need them showing up. But will Hyde
Speaker 9: Park Mount Lookout in Oakley, based on what happened with
Speaker 9: their development, will they show up? Will other parts of
Speaker 9: our community bond Hill, Rose On, will they show up?
Speaker 9: I'm unsure about that. Voter turnout as like twelve percent
Speaker 9: right now. So what we need is a community who says, listen,
Speaker 9: I've got to send a message to city Hall. Write
Speaker 9: a message. That's why I'm supporting Corey Bowman, who's running
Speaker 9: for mayor, because I'm supporting change. I don't want to
Speaker 9: keep doing the same thing when we have situations like this.
Speaker 9: We need a mayor and a council that will come
Speaker 9: on your show and speak the way I'm talking right now,
Speaker 9: saying I support my officer, I support my commands there.
Speaker 9: I don't want the chief just out there by herself.
Speaker 9: Chief Fiji, who's doing a great job, comes from a
Speaker 9: great law enforcement family. I don't want to just hear
Speaker 9: from our sheriff. I want to hear from the elected
Speaker 9: Brian Thomas, and so when you ask me what they
Speaker 9: can do and what they should be doing, that's it.
Speaker 9: But here's the bottom line. We have to have a
Speaker 9: zero tolerance people come into our community from the outside
Speaker 9: of the inside and decide that they want to start writing,
Speaker 9: they want to start blocking our roads, they want to
Speaker 9: start setting things on fire. We've got to support our
Speaker 9: police department and holding those people accountable fast, right, We've
Speaker 9: got to have their back. If we do that, we
Speaker 9: won't have the problems. There should be no one out
Speaker 9: here destroying property. Now, if somebody gets a permit, if
Speaker 9: somebody says they would like to have they want to
Speaker 9: display their First Amendment rights, I have no problems with that,
Speaker 9: Brian Thomas. People have the right to do that. We
Speaker 9: allow them to do that peacefully. But that has nothing
Speaker 9: to do with destruction of property, that has nothing to
Speaker 9: do with blocking streets, that has nothing to be throwing
Speaker 9: things at our police officers. That has to be stumped out.
Speaker 9: And we need elected officials in this election that will
Speaker 9: hold our community accountable. Anybody who's engaging in that kind
Speaker 9: of bad behavior. It's so sad to me, as the
Speaker 9: former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, we just
Speaker 9: do not have a strong elected body and a mayor
Speaker 9: in these crisis situations. It's okay to show up for
Speaker 9: the ribbon cutting. I can sit there with my Knight's
Speaker 9: outfit on, my hair done perfect right while I'm trying
Speaker 9: to go to my next gig. I'm trying to step
Speaker 9: and go somewhere else. But when the rubber meets the road,
Speaker 9: when that officer is at home right now maybe listening
Speaker 9: to us, I want him to know I support you, brother,
Speaker 9: Thank you so much for your service. There are lots
Speaker 9: of good people out there that have your back, your
Speaker 9: wife's back, your children's back, your community's back. That's what
Speaker 9: a good mayor would be saying right now. That's what
Speaker 9: a strong council would be saying. Not resolutions about what's
Speaker 9: happening in Israel and Hamah. I don't care about that
Speaker 9: from my council. I care right now, right now, in
Speaker 9: this moment, right now in Cincinnati, let's hear the clear
Speaker 9: message from city hall. And we your crickets, Brian Tartment's crickets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. And you know part of the problem,
Speaker 2: you know, in taking a harsher a hard firm stand
Speaker 2: against you know, violence, property destruction. They're there in the
Speaker 2: streets protesting for example. You know, you look at George
Speaker 2: Floyd or something a questionable, it's questionable that there's even
Speaker 2: a reason for them to be there. In other words,
Speaker 2: what the police did wasn't wrong, but it's been characterized
Speaker 2: is wrong or mischaracterized. So the predicate for rioting in
Speaker 2: the street is something that the police shouldn't be held
Speaker 2: responsible for. But yet nonetheless they're out there protesting it,
Speaker 2: and they, I think by the acts of violence are
Speaker 2: are done to invite more police involvement, to create more
Speaker 2: scenarios where they can say, see, look what the police
Speaker 2: did to me. All I was doing was exercising my
Speaker 2: free speech rights. And I get arrested, I get busted,
Speaker 2: I meah blah blah blah blah blah, it's and you
Speaker 2: know that that obviously really has I think a profound
Speaker 2: impact on officer's psychology and how they're supposed to approach
Speaker 2: and maybe even the commands and directors that have been
Speaker 2: given to the police department and how they're supposed to
Speaker 2: approach these agitators. Let them go, I think has been
Speaker 2: the default determination. It's not worth it. We don't want
Speaker 2: to elevate the situation. To just let them get it
Speaker 2: out of their system. It'll be over in no time
Speaker 2: and we'll move on with our lives. And I think
Speaker 2: that's how we got to where we are today.
Speaker 9: Well, all I'm saying to you, Brian Thomas, is that
Speaker 9: African American kids, American children, black or white or Latino,
Speaker 9: are being murdered in our streets every weekend. It's a
Speaker 9: blood bath out here across our major cities. Right. We're
Speaker 9: losing a generation with the violence that we're seeing within
Speaker 9: the brown and black community. And these same elected officials
Speaker 9: right will be out here hob nobbing and talking about
Speaker 9: that with some kind of cookout, but not getting their
Speaker 9: arms around what's happened in our public school systems across
Speaker 9: the United States of America. Supporting our teachers who are
Speaker 9: trying to deal with these kids. Guarantee you they are
Speaker 9: teachers out there who taught this young man who saw
Speaker 9: him on TV and said, man, I probably could have
Speaker 9: guessed that. My point is that when are we as
Speaker 9: former elected and elected officials, going to put our rate
Speaker 9: on the right side of the scale. The reality of
Speaker 9: it is, Black Lives Matter is nowhere to be found
Speaker 9: when our black and brown kids are being murdered every
Speaker 9: single weekend across the United States of America. Our streets
Speaker 9: are red, and our cops are the only thing out
Speaker 9: there that's keeping it peaceful. I am so frustrated by
Speaker 9: these voices out here who want to identify a police
Speaker 9: officer who happens to be white, who's engaging an African
Speaker 9: American young person who says, this is my opportunity to riot,
Speaker 9: or this is my opportunity to protest protests our brothers
Speaker 9: and sisters that are being murder every single weekend in
Speaker 9: our streets in Cincinnati, in Dayton, no matter where, Detroit, Chicago,
Speaker 9: you name it. That's what gets my skin boiling, my
Speaker 9: blood boiling, and that's that is the real issue that
Speaker 9: you and I as as my white brother me as
Speaker 9: your black brother. These are American children, a generation that
Speaker 9: we continue to lose, and we put our cops right
Speaker 9: in the middle of it and act as if there's
Speaker 9: not going to be a problem. If they come to
Speaker 9: the party with a gun, expect something bad to happen.
Speaker 9: We need parents and teachers, brother, that's what we need.
Speaker 9: And I'm not gonna stop talking about it because there's
Speaker 9: people out there says Will Smitherman. You know he's not
Speaker 9: African American. You know he's a He stands apart, he's
Speaker 9: really not black. I am absolutely black. I'm African American,
Speaker 9: whatever you want to call me. I'm a dad out
Speaker 9: here who's concerned about the real issues. Those are our
Speaker 9: children who are dying in the streets with gun violence
Speaker 9: every single day. Hope Dutley, in conclusion, this is an
Speaker 9: African American woman. She is an absolute patriot. And our
Speaker 9: Sharf's Department should be working with Hope Dutley to get
Speaker 9: those cards that she has of victims in those jails.
Speaker 9: Right now. We need Hope Dutley and our sheriff on
Speaker 9: the same page getting those cards inside of those jails
Speaker 9: in these prisons so we can solve these crimes. Of
Speaker 9: these families, these mothers who are listening to my voice
Speaker 9: right now, who are mourning in their living room because
Speaker 9: no one has solved the crime of why their baby
Speaker 9: was murdered in the street. Thomas, thank you. I appreciate
Speaker 9: you giving me your voice.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to do it. I appreciate your passion, and
Speaker 2: thanks for min I didn't realize Hope was still out
Speaker 2: there with her playing cards with unsolved murders, and that
Speaker 2: was a I thought, really an excellent effort. So I'm
Speaker 2: pleased to hear that she's still at that good work. Russ,
Speaker 2: you brother, Love you man. We'll talk next Monday. Take care.
Speaker 2: Seven fifty I can vouch for him. He is black.
Speaker 2: He's a friend of mine. We hang out for one
Speaker 2: preset for instant access to the information that affects you.
Speaker 2: He's on fifty five KRC, the talk station Stato six
Speaker 2: Here I pittybove Gar CD talk station. It being Monday,
Speaker 2: it's that time of week where we do the thing
Speaker 2: we call money Monday with all what financials. Brian Jane
Speaker 2: financial planner he is, and he's bringing us up lately
Speaker 2: some bad news. Jeez, Brian, can you can you put
Speaker 2: a smile on my face one of these weeks. Welcome back,
Speaker 2: my friend. It's always good to have you on the show.
Speaker 7: Thanks for let me join you again.
Speaker 15: I gotta ask, do I do I give you like
Speaker 15: a negative kind of connotation? Do I do it do
Speaker 15: every time we talk it seems like it's bad anymore?
Speaker 15: Do you just think of me in terms of sadness?
Speaker 2: Of course not. You know, it's kind of like Dave
Speaker 2: Hat to do Tech Friday with Dave Hatter at six
Speaker 2: Thirday every Friday, and he's always warning us about just
Speaker 2: the absolute land minds that are lurking everywhere when you're online.
Speaker 2: You know, the scammers, the hackers, folks breaking into our infrastructure,
Speaker 2: sending you spam text that will end up taking over
Speaker 2: your phone or stealing your data. And it's depressing, but
Speaker 2: it's really important information. I mean, these are kind of
Speaker 2: things we need to know. I mean, you, of course
Speaker 2: focus towards the financial and try to get us to
Speaker 2: have the attitude that we need to take care of
Speaker 2: ourselves and how to do so, and how to properly
Speaker 2: plan for our retirement and how to manage things. So
Speaker 2: I think it's all valuable. Although you know what negative
Speaker 2: news gets the clicks, and that's kind of what's been
Speaker 2: going on of late in the financial markets. I saw
Speaker 2: that weekly jobless claims jump to two hundred and forty
Speaker 2: one thousand, the latest sign of economic trouble in CNBC's headlines.
Speaker 2: So when you file for unemployment this is for first
Speaker 2: time filings? What does that specifically mean that the person
Speaker 2: who is filing for unemployment has never filed for unemployment before.
Speaker 7: The first time?
Speaker 15: And kind of this go around, there's this is obviously
Speaker 15: complicated stuff, but yeah, this is.
Speaker 2: That's kind of why I asked the question, because people
Speaker 2: read that number and I don't think they give any
Speaker 2: measure of thought to really what it entails or what
Speaker 2: it means. So I kind of wanted to get a
Speaker 2: little foundational point before we talk about the broader economic
Speaker 2: troubles that this might portend.
Speaker 15: Yeah, so a first time filer is literally somebody who's
Speaker 15: submitting a claim for the very first time during this
Speaker 15: specified period. It distinguishes new claims from continuing claims. That's
Speaker 15: why we have two there's two different phrases you'll hear
Speaker 15: whenever we talk about job as claims, first time filers
Speaker 15: and continuing claims. So yeah, and these happen, of course
Speaker 15: whenever the economy tends to slow down a little bit.
Speaker 15: As you mentioned, we're up to two hundred and forty
Speaker 15: one thousand first time filers. That's up eighteen thousand from
Speaker 15: the week before, and the now Jones organization was estimating
Speaker 15: two hundred and twenty five thousand. Remember, everything in the
Speaker 15: financial markets, in the economic analysis has to do with
Speaker 15: what did we think was going to happen and then
Speaker 15: what actually happened. So a little above the estimates. But
Speaker 15: I don't think it's a shock to anyone. Most people
Speaker 15: know somebody who is directly impacted by the decisions that
Speaker 15: our administration is currently making, which in the very short
Speaker 15: run here, there's no way to for everyone to withstand
Speaker 15: all of these tariffs, all these extra challenges without some
Speaker 15: kind of reaction. So you're seeing companies say, you know what,
Speaker 15: we got to pull in for just a little for
Speaker 15: a little bit, and hopefully we'll make it through the
Speaker 15: other side and bring everybody back on.
Speaker 2: But there has to be reaction to this right now.
Speaker 2: So there is some connection to the tariffs and people's
Speaker 2: dealing with the tariffs, preparing or otherwise reacting to them.
Speaker 2: That's connected with the higher weekly job claim.
Speaker 15: Absolutely, because because think about it this way, A tariff is,
Speaker 15: you know, whether we whether good, bad, or and different.
Speaker 15: A tariff is an extra outlay of cash that a
Speaker 15: company has to start paying to keep its business going
Speaker 15: forward any way you want to slice it. That is
Speaker 15: the thing that's happening. So that means they might have
Speaker 15: to be backing off on other things. So maybe there's
Speaker 15: some some smaller product they sell or something like that
Speaker 15: that's just not all of that viable, and therefore they
Speaker 15: may have to shut down that division or at least
Speaker 15: mothball it for a little while. That costs people jobs,
Speaker 15: and they may be looking for opportunities to save just
Speaker 15: so we can buy some time. And I've got I've
Speaker 15: got clients, I've got some personal friends who are talking
Speaker 15: about we need to be able to bring in part
Speaker 15: raw materials from overseas. Didn't see these tariffs coming, you know,
Speaker 15: last year, so we didn't exactly plan for it right,
Speaker 15: And we can't afford to double overnight or cost of
Speaker 15: good soul, which is basically what's happening here. Things got
Speaker 15: twice as expensive as they were last year. Nobody planned
Speaker 15: for that. The ones who have the you know, who
Speaker 15: have the deepest pockets and the best ability to weather
Speaker 15: the storm are the ones who are going to be
Speaker 15: here on the other side of it. But if you're
Speaker 15: not in that situation, then there's a lot of pain
Speaker 15: out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm just part of me is kind of
Speaker 2: surprised at how quickly the implementation of the tariffs have
Speaker 2: went in and how quickly they've been implemented. It seems
Speaker 2: to me like there will be a very very complicated
Speaker 2: process that once you know, you declare whatever given tariff
Speaker 2: is going to be applied, you could actually connect it
Speaker 2: to an imported product and have that tax or that
Speaker 2: tariff owede right away. That's like the peace of God.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how they can accomplish
Speaker 2: that and how. That's why I'm kind of shocked that
Speaker 2: it has this immediate effect, because the tariffs have only
Speaker 2: been in place now for what six weeks or two months?
Speaker 7: Yeah, So a couple thoughts on that.
Speaker 15: I mean, first off, this administration is a more so
Speaker 15: than any other administration in history, has been tearing band
Speaker 15: aids off left and right.
Speaker 2: Let's just do it.
Speaker 15: Make a mess break things, and then we'll move on
Speaker 15: the other thing too, is remember what the market is
Speaker 15: always trying to do, and what business people are always
Speaker 15: trying to do is anticipate. So, yes, the tariffs have
Speaker 15: only been in place for a short while, but we've
Speaker 15: been talking about them since really since November, because Trump
Speaker 15: talked about them all through his campaign, so there's been
Speaker 15: a whole lot lot of anticipation about it. Business has
Speaker 15: started to rejigger and shuffle things. That's why we're seeing
Speaker 15: we're seeing we saw a decline in the overall GDP
Speaker 15: of the United States. It wasn't because demand fell or
Speaker 15: anything like that. It was because businesses were holding off
Speaker 15: on US based purchases of supplies and things that they
Speaker 15: need in favor of buying a bunch of stuff that
Speaker 15: they all they knew they would need, kind of stocking
Speaker 15: up before the tariffs hit. So we saw a much
Speaker 15: bigger trade imbalance due to that.
Speaker 2: Right, and I saw an article about but night trial
Speaker 2: gloves as surgical gloves, and there is a US manufacturer
Speaker 2: then obviously could not compete with Chinese production because how
Speaker 2: much cheaper it is, but it's finally getting a whole
Speaker 2: lot more orders. So there's one business that has benefited
Speaker 2: from this, among other businesses that were in this article
Speaker 2: that I read about how the tariffs have helped US
Speaker 2: industries in certain areas. But he said he has a
Speaker 2: lot of customers that wouldn't do business with him because
Speaker 2: of the price of his gloves now coming to him
Speaker 2: and saying, hey, we need these gloves, and they're placing
Speaker 2: orders with his company because now his price is actually
Speaker 2: competitive with the tariff in place.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Now, now think of the downstream effect of that.
Speaker 15: So they're not these companies who are purchasing those gloves
Speaker 15: from him, these organizations, they are not saving money themselves.
Speaker 15: They're actually paying more than they were les exactly, it's
Speaker 15: still a cost.
Speaker 7: Increase for them.
Speaker 15: So this is going to be this will do a
Speaker 15: lot of damage with a lot of ripple effects from this,
Speaker 15: and it's going to take a lot of wherewithal for
Speaker 15: somebody to for organization to weather the storm.
Speaker 2: Well and real quick before we move on to the
Speaker 2: next topic, and we take a break before we do that.
Speaker 2: I've seen many articles and I'm sure you have too.
Speaker 2: Brian James Mallworth financial China's economy is not doing real
Speaker 2: well and a lot of people. There's been a lot
Speaker 2: of workers protesting in the streets that haven't been paid.
Speaker 2: And I saw most recent article US teriffs may drive
Speaker 2: China's economy into depression. Now, whether or not that's true,
Speaker 2: can you guess what that global ramification might be if
Speaker 2: China were to actually go into a depression, but that
Speaker 2: have a profound impact or any impact on the United States?
Speaker 7: Well, I would.
Speaker 15: Everything's connected to everything, So if the United States sneezes,
Speaker 15: everybody suffers, that's what we're you know, we're beating the
Speaker 15: daylights out of the rest of the world. Were the
Speaker 15: decisions that we are proactively making right now. China is
Speaker 15: the world's second largest economy. So while while we are
Speaker 15: in direct of somewhat violent competition with them, economically speaking,
Speaker 15: if if China ends up going into recession, that means
Speaker 15: they will spend less money and there will be other
Speaker 15: trade imbalances changing. There will definitely be ripple effects from that,
Speaker 15: because whether you're rooting for them or rooting against them,
Speaker 15: they still factor into the equation. So if they're suffering
Speaker 15: and they're not spending as much money, then that means
Speaker 15: there are other other impacts that will happen to other countries.
Speaker 15: There's just a great reshuffling of the decks. This is
Speaker 15: again globalization as how we got here. Everybody's connected to
Speaker 15: everybody else. So if one sneezez, everybody else gets a cold.
Speaker 15: That's kind of how it's been for a while now.
Speaker 15: So I would very much say that any any effect
Speaker 15: on such a large economy, such a large supplier of
Speaker 15: purchasing effectively, is going to have an impact for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do buy from other countries. I mean they
Speaker 2: we have an imbalance with China, but that is an imbalance,
Speaker 2: not a one sided. They only we buy from them,
Speaker 2: So I can see how that could impact us if
Speaker 2: they're not selling their stuff because they've gone into depression.
Speaker 2: Complicated is and that's what we got. Brian James. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about consumer confidence coming up. Young workers, well they
Speaker 2: have burnout and their concerned lemon paycheck to pay plus
Speaker 2: mind blowing starter home prices. We'll talk about those subjects
Speaker 2: coming up with all Worth financials. Brian James. I hope
Speaker 2: you can stick around fifty five KRC the talk station
Speaker 2: for more information about contests on this station. Channel I says,

Speaker 2: Ay eighteen fifty five r C detalk station, Happy Monday,
Speaker 2: It's money Monday. It's Brian James pivoting over from jobless
Speaker 2: claims to consumer confidence not going in the right direction
Speaker 2: with consumer confidence, Brian James, what's the story on this one?
Speaker 15: Consumer confidence is down? Go figure, that's the shocker of
Speaker 15: all shockers. So fell by seven point nine points last
Speaker 15: month in April, all the way down to eighty six.
Speaker 15: This is the fifth consecutive month of declining confidence. And honestly,
Speaker 15: if you think about that, that coincides exactly with the election.
Speaker 15: So I think that there was a perception out there,
Speaker 15: and it's not that people don't support There's obviously a
Speaker 15: good chunk of the population that supports the Trump administration
Speaker 15: in the situations that they bring about. But at the
Speaker 15: same time, logic dictates that the decisions that are happening there,
Speaker 15: decisions that are coming out, are going to have a
Speaker 15: short term impact here, and the President himself has said
Speaker 15: that many times. So five months of declining confidences, people
Speaker 15: began to anticipate that these kinds of things are going
Speaker 15: to have an impact. So lots of pessimism around there,
Speaker 15: just future business conditions, employment prospects, I'm worried about my income,
Speaker 15: so on and so forth, and this is all kind
Speaker 15: of natural. This is the part of the cycle when
Speaker 15: we're rejiggering exactly how we present ourselves as a country
Speaker 15: to the rest of the world. We are making it
Speaker 15: more expensive to do business with us. That is, you know,
Speaker 15: the administration's goal here is long term gain for some
Speaker 15: short term pain, and so right now we're in the
Speaker 15: middle of the short term.
Speaker 2: Well, we live in an immediate gratification kind of mindset
Speaker 2: world these days. People aren't willing to wait it out
Speaker 2: to see what happens, and if it does, we do
Speaker 2: end up reaping the benefits that he has promised as
Speaker 2: a consequence of these So but if real time your
Speaker 2: job might be on the line, I can certainly understand
Speaker 2: your confidence would go down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 15: I mean, this is just a situation where people are
Speaker 15: re examining exactly what their situations are, and, as we've
Speaker 15: talked before, themselves are having to make decisions. I want
Speaker 15: to ensure growth through this environment. That means I need
Speaker 15: to maybe take a hit here in the short run,
Speaker 15: and I have to shut down lines, I have to
Speaker 15: lay off some people. I would very much prefer to
Speaker 15: keep those kinds of things, but I got to keep
Speaker 15: my nose just above water until we get through this
Speaker 15: we can kind of get back to normal. So we
Speaker 15: are seeing some pretty steep declines in these confidence numbers,
Speaker 15: and we'll have to see where they go over the
Speaker 15: next few weeks. Well, and this might very well translate
Speaker 15: over to the leading industrial indexes S and P five
Speaker 15: hundred doubts that are.
Speaker 2: I know we're down over the year, but I mean
Speaker 2: we've had some pretty big jumps of late. It's as
Speaker 2: if the market is resisting the concerns expressed by the masses.
Speaker 15: Well, I remember what we talked about that the market
Speaker 15: is always trying to anticipate what's coming next. So yeah,
Speaker 15: there was a very big boying about a month ago.
Speaker 15: We hit the but we're still down for the year.
Speaker 15: But the Nasdaq was down fifteen eighteen percent at its
Speaker 15: very lowest point. Now as we're sitting here, it's only
Speaker 15: down about seven percent. Everything bounced in early April. And
Speaker 15: as we've talked about before, if you are a diversified
Speaker 15: portfolio holder, meaning you got a little bit of everything,
Speaker 15: you got a horse in every race, then you're actually
Speaker 15: doing okay. Well, a lot of diversified portfolios are actually
Speaker 15: up for the year, believe it or not, because there
Speaker 15: are other things out there. Then the S and P
Speaker 15: five hundred. I'm speaking specifically of international companies, which again
Speaker 15: are up fourteen percent year to date. If you're somebody
Speaker 15: who abandoned everything but the US over the past fifteen
Speaker 15: years because of how the S and P five hundred
Speaker 15: had performed, then you are now missing out on a
Speaker 15: more stable portfolio because of all this. So but yes,
Speaker 15: about a month ago, things bounced back up because the
Speaker 15: market is simply anticipating that these tariffs are going to
Speaker 15: come and go. Eventually, cooler heads will prevail and everybody
Speaker 15: will find their new position in all of this, and
Speaker 15: the market will go forward. Underneath, things are relatively healthy.
Speaker 15: There is still demand. We don't have a two thousand
Speaker 15: and eight type situation. The economy wants to go up
Speaker 15: and the market does too. We just need the fog.
Speaker 2: To clear a little bit. Well, and since the experts,
Speaker 2: and I'm use them my little quote fingers here are
Speaker 2: in the market, so the ones that run the businesses
Speaker 2: are the ones that do the the you know, the
Speaker 2: investment investment decisions. That's optimism right there. If they have
Speaker 2: fact with this bump in the markets, smart people know
Speaker 2: that things are going to get better. At some point
Speaker 2: in potentially or possibly the near future, if the markets
Speaker 2: were tanking, all these smart people are saying, no, it's
Speaker 2: going to be it's going to hit the fan and
Speaker 2: it's going to be terrible. So that's a little bit
Speaker 2: of optimism built into this. If you're not even if
Speaker 2: you're not invested in the market, well they're saying things
Speaker 2: will probably be better.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and again I'll go back to anticipation.
Speaker 15: Those smart people have decisions they have to make, they
Speaker 15: have to grow their portfolios. And I'm not just talking
Speaker 15: about investment people, that's business people in general. They're moving
Speaker 15: things around to take advantage of what they see coming.
Speaker 15: I would remind everybody that the back in two thousand
Speaker 15: and eight, when you know a lot of people were
Speaker 15: invested then, and we most most of us remember that
Speaker 15: as kind of a benchmark of how scary things can be.
Speaker 15: The bottom of that market was March ninth of two
Speaker 15: thousand and nine. If you go back and read headlines, Brian,
Speaker 15: you will not see positive headlines until around June of
Speaker 15: that year. So the headlines are always going to trail reality.
Speaker 15: The market wants to go up. It anticipates the good
Speaker 15: news coming, but it also makes a lot of false
Speaker 15: head starts.
Speaker 2: Well, and that was the other thing I was going
Speaker 2: to say in connection with consumer confidence. I mean, try
Speaker 2: to find a positive headline.
Speaker 4: In the world.
Speaker 2: It's it's a Sysavian challenge, you know, unless you look
Speaker 2: at things like you are sort of objectively looking at
Speaker 2: the market and recognizing the decisions that are making to
Speaker 2: keeping that have caused the market to bounce back. That's
Speaker 2: actually a positive story built into all of this. But
Speaker 2: everywhere you turn, it's woe's me, and this is terrible,
Speaker 2: and Trump sucks and you know, tariffs are killing everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's hard to find a bright
Speaker 2: spot in terms of what people's perception of how things
Speaker 2: are out in the world. But we're not the experts really,
Speaker 2: we're just sort of living our lives day today. And
Speaker 2: that's you know, I think people a lot of people
Speaker 2: are quite off and influenced by, of course what they read,
Speaker 2: and it's maybe has no connection with necessarily a reality.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's.
Speaker 15: Why we have to step back and look at the forest,
Speaker 15: not the trees. So again we focus always on financial planning.
Speaker 15: We have to deal with this stuff. Something's got to
Speaker 15: grow and keep up with inflation that's going to involve
Speaker 15: the stock market in some way, shape or form for everybody.
Speaker 15: This is what comes along with it. So let's understand
Speaker 15: the history and make sure we're not putting ourselves in
Speaker 15: a bad spot with it.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll bring buying back and find out
Speaker 2: that well, apparently young workers are ready to quit burnout,
Speaker 2: pay concerns and I don't know from what job they're
Speaker 2: in now to what job they might take, but pay
Speaker 2: concerns driving exodus according to the study fines analysis. We're
Speaker 2: going to hear about that. Plus, thank god you don't
Speaker 2: live in one of a multitude of California cities. The
Speaker 2: price of starter homes has just gone through the roof.
Speaker 2: But that's just not happening in California. It's happening all over.
Speaker 2: We'll get a little bit on that from Brian James
Speaker 2: as well. One more with Money Monday, All with Financial

Speaker 2: happy Monday too. One more segment with all Worth Financials
Speaker 2: Brian Jay James Brian young workers are burned out. I
Speaker 2: just kind of laugh at that. I remember when I
Speaker 2: first started practicing litigation. You know, twelve hour days six
Speaker 2: days a week, and we did it year after year
Speaker 2: after year, And I honestly, while I might have complained
Speaker 2: at the time, I wasn't going to quit over it. Anyway.
Speaker 2: What's the story on this when Brian.
Speaker 15: James seventy three percent of gen Z and seventy percent
Speaker 15: millennials are actively looking to change jobs. In other words,
Speaker 15: three out of every four of those young people sitting
Speaker 15: next to you are sniffing around. And this is coming
Speaker 15: from just overall frustration with job burnout feelings and just an.
Speaker 7: Overall monotony of the work and so forth.
Speaker 1: Different.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit of monotony.
Speaker 15: They're not super excited about the day to day, you know,
Speaker 15: as much as they're older.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a question of lacking intellectual stimulation or satisfied.
Speaker 2: It's not. I mean, I know, we got a pay
Speaker 2: element on this before we get to the living page,
Speaker 2: the paycheck component. But they could be satisfied in so
Speaker 2: far as their salary. But they're just tired of doing
Speaker 2: what they're doing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think there's another element. I heard that.
Speaker 15: I think there's another element to this. It's not even
Speaker 15: mentioned in the article. And I'm speaking as i'd speak
Speaker 15: to my clients. I'd always tell them that their kids
Speaker 15: are my clients too, So I'll talk to anybody about anything.
Speaker 15: And the impression that I get from them is that
Speaker 15: they feel that the hill is so much steeper. We
Speaker 15: all got to push a rock up a hill to
Speaker 15: get to retirement. They feel their hill is a lot
Speaker 15: steeper because they're not going to have you know, they
Speaker 15: they're they're bombarded with the fact that social security is
Speaker 15: going to go away. It's not, but there's still the
Speaker 15: mental component that they're that sociecurity might take a hit,
Speaker 15: that things are more expensive, inflation and all of this,
Speaker 15: and they're they're among some of them, there's a feeling
Speaker 15: of hopelessness. Why does it matter that I have that
Speaker 15: I want to grind because I'm not going to be
Speaker 15: able to afford it anyway. The deck is so stacked
Speaker 15: against me. That doesn't mean they've done the math to
Speaker 15: analyze it, but that's the drumbeat that's out there again.
Speaker 15: Because of social media they have, they have a lot
Speaker 15: more to contend with in terms of the loudness of
Speaker 15: all of the.
Speaker 11: There you go.
Speaker 2: You know, in the back of my mind immediately started
Speaker 2: thinking of the seventies and stagflation. Things were not pretty
Speaker 2: in this country at all, and a lot worse than
Speaker 2: they are right now. But we've had so many decades
Speaker 2: of without I mean, there's been bumps in the road,
Speaker 2: as you've pointed out many times, like you know, the
Speaker 2: tech bubble burst, in the housing bubble burst, but you
Speaker 2: know for the last several decades, and we've had nothing
Speaker 2: but you know, rainbows and puppy puppies. It's just it's
Speaker 2: been really overall a great environment. They haven't seen it
Speaker 2: pine before.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and well everything negative gets amplified.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 15: So I was talking to my son and he was
Speaker 15: explaining to me how relationships work nowadays. You can't break
Speaker 15: up with someone because they never go away. You see
Speaker 15: them on social media, you see how they're linked, you
Speaker 15: see what they're talking about, all of this stuff. This
Speaker 15: is a much different environment than any of these other
Speaker 15: generations have had to contend with. And I kind of
Speaker 15: got what he was saying. And it's scary out there.
Speaker 15: And you attach that to trying to raise a family,
Speaker 15: start your career and all that. You get surrounded by Oh,
Speaker 15: so and so is doing so much better than you.
Speaker 15: So and so just bought this house. Everybody's happy, wonderful.
Speaker 15: What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 7: You can't get away from that and focus on your
Speaker 7: job now.
Speaker 2: And I think every generation has struggled with some component
Speaker 2: of what you just said before. And I think you
Speaker 2: just try to focus on your own life and quit
Speaker 2: comparing yourself to the Joneses. We don't all live at
Speaker 2: a different level, and we all live at different levels,
Speaker 2: and thus it has ever been but back to the
Speaker 2: paycheck to paycheck component. I suppose that would be a
Speaker 2: little disheartening if you can't save any money at all.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's another three quarters of people.
Speaker 15: Seventy four percent of employees say they're living paycheck to paycheck,
Speaker 15: which simply means that I get paid and I pay
Speaker 15: my bills and the checking account goes back down to zero.
Speaker 15: I can't make any headway. I can't save money to
Speaker 15: take the family on a vacation. I can't work on
Speaker 15: paying my mortgage down faster. I can't bump up my
Speaker 15: four oh one K percentage contribution. I just feel like
Speaker 15: I'm stuck in the mud. And then that leads to this,
Speaker 15: is there another opportunity out there? What should I be doing?
Speaker 15: Can I can I put myself in a better spot,
Speaker 15: or it leads to quiet.
Speaker 7: Quitting and just kind of hanging up and doing the
Speaker 7: bare minimum.
Speaker 2: Hmm, okay, pivoting over one of the reasons people are
Speaker 2: a living in paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't believe the
Speaker 2: numbers on this one, Brian James. Starter homes top one
Speaker 2: million dollars in two hundred and thirty three cities. That's
Speaker 2: doubled since since am I sorry it was eighty five
Speaker 2: cities that had that price in twenty twenty. This is amazing.
Speaker 15: Yeah, so five years ago only eighty five cities had
Speaker 15: a median start These are starter homes, right, So the
Speaker 15: typical starter home now costs a million dollars or more
Speaker 15: in two hundred and thirty some areas. Now this is
Speaker 15: not affecting Cincinnati. We're still we've got a booming real
Speaker 15: estate market. But starter homes around here about a quarter
Speaker 15: million dollars so, which is still a relative to our
Speaker 15: local environment. That still has an impact, of course, But
Speaker 15: this is this is highlighting the affordability crisis in the
Speaker 15: housing market. And this is another thing I can't like
Speaker 15: we just got done talking about. I'm unhappy with my job.
Speaker 15: I don't get paid enough. Why am I bothering to
Speaker 15: do all this? I just can't make things go. And
Speaker 15: part of this can be because of the mortgage payment
Speaker 15: that stares somebody in the face on the first of
Speaker 15: every month.
Speaker 2: That in when they reassess your property taxes and it
Speaker 2: jumps sixty three percent, and you're not prepared for that
Speaker 2: kind of hit, like Claremont County and other counties have
Speaker 2: struggled with. You know, it's a little disheartening to say
Speaker 2: the least. Although the bright spot in this is thank
Speaker 2: god we don't live in California. You already gave props
Speaker 2: to the city of Cincinnati for him in much lower
Speaker 2: than a million dollars. One hundred and thirteen of these
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty three cities are in California. That
Speaker 2: speaks volumes New New York, New Jersey right behind. To me,
Speaker 2: none of this is a shock because these are the
Speaker 2: places we always hear about is being more expensive with
Speaker 2: regard to real estate. So this is also revealing that
Speaker 2: the United States is short by about four and a
Speaker 2: half million homes. In other words, if we had four
Speaker 2: and a half million more homes available for purchase, the
Speaker 2: purchase price would be down closer to a normal level.
Speaker 2: That's why you're still seeing subdivisions. We live up here
Speaker 2: in Butler County's new subdivision going up in a cornfield
Speaker 2: every other week. It seems like we've got some catching
Speaker 2: up to do.
Speaker 15: The builders are certainly doing their part to put them
Speaker 15: out there, but we haven't gotten to a point yet
Speaker 15: where it has truly made an.
Speaker 7: Impact on the price of a starter home.
Speaker 2: Well, and I imagine those brand new subdivision homes probably
Speaker 2: a little more pricey than you know, the two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand figure you just mentioned, which means someone
Speaker 2: is going to be moving from maybe a starter home
Speaker 2: and buying one of the newer homes out in the subdivisions,
Speaker 2: which will free up some of these more affordable starter
Speaker 2: homes for the for the people.
Speaker 15: Yeah, the United States, it's a profit margin.
Speaker 7: That's where I live.
Speaker 15: So those builders are building the type of homes off
Speaker 15: of which they can make the most profit, and unfortunately
Speaker 15: that doesn't tend to be that starter home. No.
Speaker 2: I see the fixed rate mortgage. The rate dipped a
Speaker 2: little bit to six point eight one percent last week,
Speaker 2: which was previously seven point one seven, so that's going
Speaker 2: in the right direction. Any before we part company, Brian
Speaker 2: James any te lea freading on the direction that's going
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 15: Well, we need to see exactly what's going to be
Speaker 15: happening here with the rest of the economy, you know,
Speaker 15: we we it's pretty clear out there that the President
Speaker 15: would very much like mister Jerome Powell to start cutting
Speaker 15: rates yesterday. But that does not happen, and it does
Speaker 15: not appear likely a meeting this week. But there is
Speaker 15: zero chance that we're going to see a raid cut
Speaker 15: out of this one, so I wouldn't look for movement
Speaker 15: there anytime soon.
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll ride it through as we always do.
Speaker 2: Brian James Alworth, Financial Camp. Thank you though for the
Speaker 2: time he spoke my listeners me every Monday. Look forward
Speaker 2: to another conversation next week. Have a great week, Happy Monday.
Speaker 2: Talk to you in seven days. Stick around, folks, got
Speaker 2: more to talk about. We'll also open the phone lines
Speaker 2: up with this is the subject you want to bring up?
Speaker 2: Happy to talk about at five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 2: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
Speaker 2: three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
Speaker 2: It's eight thirty six. I'll be right back.
Speaker 6: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station Andy and
Speaker 6: in here.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRCD talk station. Hope you're having a decent Monday. Huh.
Speaker 2: I wanted to get this in. I will take phone calls.
Speaker 2: But this Maine is having a bit of a back
Speaker 2: and forth with the Trump administration over their preference for
Speaker 2: allowing men to compete against women in in sports. So ah,
Speaker 2: this just happened. Most recently, trans identifying athlete competed in
Speaker 2: the North Yarmouth Hademy in Yarmouth, Maine. The biological male
Speaker 2: in the girls competition won the girls eight hundred meter
Speaker 2: and sixteen hundred events. The athlete been making national headlines
Speaker 2: in Maine. The same athlete dating back to fo what
Speaker 2: was it February anyway, jumping from fourth place in the
Speaker 2: five k division in the girls category after previously finishing
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy seventy second in the boys competition.
Speaker 2: This athlete made national headlines for competing in the Nordic
Speaker 2: skiing and taking a podium spot in Mainz High School
Speaker 2: State Nordic Skiing Championship in the past February that was
Speaker 2: the February reference that I was thinking about. So at
Speaker 2: this Portland Seacoast Meet, Friday athlete won the sixteen hundred
Speaker 2: meters with a time of five fifty seven to twenty
Speaker 2: seven the second place runner six six teen thirty two.
Speaker 2: It's like a nineteen second rough difference between the two.
Speaker 2: The male beat the female by about nineteen seconds. A
Speaker 2: bit closer in the and the other competition, the eight
Speaker 2: hundred meter two forty three thirty one, about a second
Speaker 2: better than the second place finisher to forty forty seven,
Speaker 2: proving yet again the cold hard reality that men have
Speaker 2: a competitive advantage over women in sports. Go ahead, look
Speaker 2: up records, and that this is even a hill that
Speaker 2: the Democrats thinks worth dying on. And they're in the
Speaker 2: middle of litigation with the Trump administration. I mean State
Speaker 2: Representative Laurel Libby. She's been in trouble for making comments
Speaker 2: about this before. She pointed out today, a biological male
Speaker 2: won the eight hundred and sixteen hundred the girls division
Speaker 2: at the main track meet. Every girl who plays second, third,
Speaker 2: and fourth and further in those races was pushed aside
Speaker 2: so a boy could win. This is not fair. Our
Speaker 2: girls deserve a fair, safe and level playing field. Now
Speaker 2: she had done this before, commented on a transathlete who
Speaker 2: won a girl's pole vaunting comics competition getting her a
Speaker 2: censure from the legislature's Democrat majority, and she's in a
Speaker 2: lawsuit over that one. Now, as to that Nordic skiing event,
Speaker 2: one of the main female athletes who had to compete
Speaker 2: against the trans athlete in that event said, the defeat
Speaker 2: that comes with that in that moment is heartbreaking. I'm
Speaker 2: just in shock in a way. I didn't believe it.
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was happening to me. So for
Speaker 2: its part of the Department of Justice and now allows
Speaker 2: a lawsuit against the State of Maine for its continued
Speaker 2: defiance of the Executive Order to keep biological men out
Speaker 2: of girls and women's sports and alleged violations of Title nine.
Speaker 2: So this will all get hammered out in court. But
Speaker 2: again the governor there, Janet Mills, is like, bring it.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to go to court and litigate the issue
Speaker 2: that are being raised in this court complaint, she said
Speaker 2: in reaction to the Department of Justices action. Again, and
Speaker 2: you know this, I guess Democrats don't care about polling
Speaker 2: because the vast majority of folks in the state of
Speaker 2: main the vast majority of folks on the republic are
Speaker 2: and at least on the Republican and independence side of
Speaker 2: the Ledger are overwhelmingly against this, and a whole good
Speaker 2: sizable chunk of Democrats are against this concept as well.
Speaker 2: It's simply a question of fairness and in sometimes safety.
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of those cases where the transgender
Speaker 2: athlete has harmed a female. I mean, think about a
Speaker 2: boxing competition. I mean, seriously, one thing to swimming. At
Speaker 2: least it's not a contact sport. It's one thing for running,
Speaker 2: at least it's not a contact sport. But that doesn't
Speaker 2: change the reality of the simple, objective unfairness of what's
Speaker 2: going on. Let's see what Maureene's got. Hey, Maureen, thanks
Speaker 2: for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 12: Hi, good morning, Brian, thanks for taking my call. I
Speaker 12: just want to pickyback on christ Movement's call in regards
Speaker 12: to the police officers. I found myself at the end
Speaker 12: of some guns being drawn in a drug rate. I
Speaker 12: actually got home from work one day and there was
Speaker 12: a buzz at the gates. Is when we used to
Speaker 12: live in Hamilton County and lived in the kind of
Speaker 12: the middle of a forest on a few acres, and
Speaker 12: they were at at one of our gates, and they
Speaker 12: buzzed up and said that they needed to come in
Speaker 12: and it was on marked car and they needed to
Speaker 12: surveil our property for possible drug of being grown on
Speaker 12: the property. And so it's sure, come on up. I'd
Speaker 12: like to know about that. Yeah, so I said, but
Speaker 12: you'll need to come up the other gate because then
Speaker 12: you'll have access to look around more. The other one
Speaker 12: was to the garage, so he said, okay, fine, he
Speaker 12: went to the other gate. I'm walking out the window,
Speaker 12: and I buzzed up that gate, and as soon as
Speaker 12: he started pulling through, four other police cars came from
Speaker 12: around the corner, two of them, one mark, two marked,
Speaker 12: and so they all came out, heavily armed and questioning
Speaker 12: about surveilling the property. They see a significant amount They
Speaker 12: received the tip apparently from Duke Energy that did an
Speaker 12: aerial view of the power lines, the guest line and
Speaker 12: they lost a lot of marijuana growing. So I said, fine,
Speaker 12: go find out what's going on. Never for one minute
Speaker 12: did I think that they weren't being heavy handed they
Speaker 12: were doing their job, and I felt I didn't feel
Speaker 12: like I was being profiled or targeted or anything. And
Speaker 12: as it turns out, that on we'd put a fence
Speaker 12: around our property and at the time we got anonymous
Speaker 12: letter from our neighbors saying, how can you put up
Speaker 12: the fence in a beautiful forest? Anyway, long story short,
Speaker 12: Now we know why they wrote that letter because they've
Speaker 12: been growing that for quite some time. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 12: so they did. I turned out thanking them for their service,
Speaker 12: and they sent us pictures of what they were able
Speaker 12: to take away, and they took care and handled it
Speaker 12: very professionally. But it can be skared at that time.
Speaker 12: But I feel like if you're not doing anything wrong,
Speaker 12: then then you might want to help them do their job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that default position. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: do anything wrong at least, I mean, somebody might question
Speaker 2: me morally or ethically or something like that, but I'm
Speaker 2: not breaking any laws, so my inclination will be Yeah, officer,
Speaker 2: I'm happy to help out. I mean what else would
Speaker 2: I say? I mean, I too would want to know
Speaker 2: if if I had a large enough property that I
Speaker 2: couldn't keep track of every little every single plant that
Speaker 2: was growing on it, and someone's growing an illegal crop.
Speaker 2: I guess now it might be legal depending on the
Speaker 2: number of plants that are being grown, but still I
Speaker 2: would want to find that out and take some steps
Speaker 2: to eradicate the even possibility of that happening down the road.
Speaker 2: So I'm in your corner on that one, Maureen. A
Speaker 2: lot of people don't share that perception. They're like, the
Speaker 2: Constitution is what it is, and if you don't have
Speaker 2: a warrant, I'm not letting you on my property, And
Speaker 2: I think that just sets you up probably for something
Speaker 2: bad to happen.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I can kind of see that too. But we
Speaker 12: did get out of Hamilton County once a have to
Speaker 12: have care of all was on it. We knew that
Speaker 12: wasn't gonna end well. But if Corey Bowen, when I'd
Speaker 12: consider moving back.
Speaker 2: Oh, we'd love to have you back in town.

Speaker 2: even if you don't plan on voting for him in November.
Speaker 2: You want to change the dynamic of the council in
Speaker 2: the direction of the city council. I think he'll be
Speaker 2: a great thing for you to do. Plus, Corey's a
Speaker 2: good guy. He's a great alternative to what we're dealing
Speaker 2: with right now. At least that's my impression of him
Speaker 2: many times that I've had conversations with him. So let's
Speaker 2: go to the phone and see what Jay's got this morning.
Speaker 2: He Hey, thanks so much for calling. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 10: Hey, thanks Brian. Hey, wanted to thank you and also
Speaker 10: thank Jennifer Gross. We've been hearing so many Republicans talk
Speaker 10: about the six hundred million dollars of which you are
Speaker 10: going to be bigger than that with the Browns. And
Speaker 10: they preface it by saying, don't worry about it. Your
Speaker 10: taxes aren't going to go up because we're going to
Speaker 10: be raising bonds. Well too, don't worry about it because
Speaker 10: it's already in the budget. But we're going to issue bonds.
Speaker 10: And you you are the first person I've heard that
Speaker 10: asked the great question of who in the hill is
Speaker 10: going to service this debt? If not for the Ohio
Speaker 10: taxpayersh is this Columbus government. Are they creating a product
Speaker 10: or service that we don't know about? I mean, they're
Speaker 10: definitely you're stepping into the banking role, in the financing role.
Speaker 10: I don't know why Ohio banks aren't coming on glued
Speaker 10: saying how are we going to compete with the state
Speaker 10: of Ohio. They're going to be issuing bonds to give
Speaker 10: six hundred million dollars to a private business like the
Speaker 10: Cleveland Browns. I would think that their their stock would
Speaker 10: start to tank, and at fifth third and Chase and
Speaker 10: and the rest of them, which would start maybe banding
Speaker 10: together and saying if you're going to have to start
Speaker 10: competing with Ohio, you're in deep trouble. But I'm sick
Speaker 10: of the Republicans Party saying, don't worry about it, your
Speaker 10: taxes aren't going.
Speaker 1: To go up.
Speaker 10: I heard you say it, I've heard elected representatives say it.
Speaker 10: It's propaganda. And we give the left plenty of hell
Speaker 10: for their left wing media and and the left being
Speaker 10: on a propaganda tour. It could be Republicans in Ohio
Speaker 10: have nothing on CNN when it comes to big government spending.
Speaker 10: So good for you guys to call it out. And
Speaker 10: I'd say to everybody, get out here and vote no
Speaker 10: on issue too.
Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 2: Well day, you know the debt service. You borrow the money,
Speaker 2: so it's not coming out of the general fund. This
Speaker 2: money for this slush fund that they have created and
Speaker 2: are now trying to enshrine the constitution. But the ability
Speaker 2: to borrow money to put into that Roads and Infrastructure
Speaker 2: Fund has to pay. You have to pay debt service ardt.
Speaker 2: It's like putting on a credit card tab. So it
Speaker 2: becomes wine an ongoing line item in the in the
Speaker 2: in the annual budget that must the debt service has
Speaker 2: to be paid for, so that takes money away from
Speaker 2: some other project. But Jennifer Gross said that they don't
Speaker 2: have a revenue problem in Columbus. They have a spending problem.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what was boiled down. They don't
Speaker 2: want to make the tough decisions and say no, we
Speaker 2: can fund the broad roads, bridges and infrastructure, because that
Speaker 2: comes to the cost to other stuff they want to
Speaker 2: do well.
Speaker 10: And Mike DeWine raised the gas tax fifteen minutes after
Speaker 10: he was elected in his first term, and everybody remembers
Speaker 10: that it went up significantly because it was dire consequences,
Speaker 10: so that money should already be covered and if we
Speaker 10: would go back to take a look, it was, it
Speaker 10: was immediate. So vote no on this if we've got
Speaker 10: six hundred million dollars to throw at the Browns and
Speaker 10: we got millions, hundreds of millions to throw to vote
Speaker 10: no today, please well done, Brian.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Jay.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that if you didn't hear Jennifer Gross podcast,
Speaker 2: that she did a wonderful analysis of this issue too.
Speaker 2: And so if you're confused and you're like, well, how
Speaker 2: come I see all these Republican and Democrat science saying
Speaker 2: vote yes on issue too? Follow the money the organized
Speaker 2: campaign to vote yes on issue too coming from unions
Speaker 2: there are gonna be the prime beneficiaries of these so
Speaker 2: called infrastructure projects. And do you know if your infrastructure
Speaker 2: structure project is going to be covered by this new
Speaker 2: money that's going into this fund. The answer is no.
Speaker 2: And the idea that you're gonna have any control over it.
Speaker 2: That's going to go to your neighborhood, your committee, that
Speaker 2: bridge that needs servicing that has been falling apart, or
Speaker 2: that you had to reduce your load on, like one
Speaker 2: in Giagara County. She pointed out, Man Columbus has never
Speaker 2: heard of Jeaga County. They don't have enough population to
Speaker 2: fund campaigns. All the big money is going to go
Speaker 2: to the larger communities, at least that's my perception. That's
Speaker 2: the perception of Jennifer Gross. Why we reward them and
Speaker 2: give them greater flexibility and well and you less make
Speaker 2: him go after the gas tax and and fix the
Speaker 2: roads with that. That's tough for work to do though
Speaker 2: it makes their jobs more difficult. Coming up at eight
Speaker 2: fifty five, Kenkober FLP President on the tragedy of that
Speaker 2: deputy getting mowed down by the father of the the
Speaker 2: eighteen year old with a clock twenty three to forty
Speaker 2: caliber the extended magazine, who ran from police out of
Speaker 2: a stolen car and brandished the firearm at the police officer.
Speaker 2: Try to make some sense of that, there is no
Speaker 2: sense to be made, and Ken Cober responding on behalf
Speaker 2: of the Well, the Union for the Insane Police Department,
