WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:22.440 By Bofo the fifty five care cited talk station Wednesday. 2 00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:30.239 Said was a vacation. 3 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:38.200 Yes, Sir Danny. Danny Gleeson today covering for the vacation 4 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.640 in Joe's Tracker. You believe that, Danny. You believe Joe 5 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.399 Tracker actually went on a vacation. Yeah, I know. I 6 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.759 didn't believe it either until he actually said I'm going 7 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.560 on vacation. It's like his first one in twenty years. 8 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.439 So he's I'm sure he's not listening to the fifty 9 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.640 five carre same morning. Sure right now, he's probably found 10 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.439 something better to do in Florida, and good for him 11 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.039 for doing that. 12 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:02.719 Well. 13 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.319 It is Wednesday's listener lunch. Wednesday gonna be a Wiedam 14 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.760 brew how Widham and Brewery in Saint Bernard. Great spot, 15 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.840 fun times, good food, the beer is great and fellowship. 16 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.120 It's fifty five Caresey Listener lunch. He'd been to one, 17 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.879 you know, the fellowship is nice. Looking forward to seeing Westside. 18 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.760 Jim Kiefer, he's already confirmed he can be there, as 19 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:21.519 well as the former vice mayor of the city of 20 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.400 Sin Sint Christopher Smithem, And he told me he was 21 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.560 going to be able to be there. Only confirmations I 22 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.519 think I've gotten so far, a few others from others, 23 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.519 but I did inquire as to whether Melissa powers Him 24 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.480 and Kenny Prosecutor can make it. She can't, although I 25 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.719 do believe she's going to be at Anderson Pub for 26 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.680 the last one before the election. That'll be the first 27 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.640 Wednesday of next month, so you marked out on your 28 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.920 calendar two Anderson Pub and Grill for the final pre 29 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.840 election listener lunch. Usually a great turnout for that one. 30 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.239 But regardless of the number of people, I always always 31 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.359 always enjoy the fellowship of meeting the listeners and quite 32 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.159 often losing to cribbage. Cribbage. Mike, I think is going 33 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.079 to be there as well today. Anyhow you're invited. Just 34 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.680 look it up on Facebook weedam in brew House or 35 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.879 weedam in Brewery you'll find it. Saint Bernard can't miss 36 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.080 it coming up with a fifty five case Morning show 37 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.120 seven o five with Adam Kaylor and studio latest on 38 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.560 the campaign as well as that's his campaign of course 39 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.080 running for Himununty Commissioner, but also the signature campaign for 40 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.280 Tom Brinkman's issue regarding pulling six hundred million dollars out 41 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.960 of the railroad fund and putting it in a separate 42 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.960 investment fund to generate income to pay people's real estate 43 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.159 taxes in the City of Cincinnati, a proposal that my 44 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.919 initial reaction was, now, I don't like that, but then 45 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.960 I thought about, well, it takes away the ability of 46 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.599 have to have provole on the leftists on Cincinnai City 47 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.280 Council to use that money for like shiny stuff and things, when, 48 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.560 of course the ongoing joke has been Fred needs his 49 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.639 street fixed, as do so many other residents of the 50 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.319 City of Cincinnati. Core structure has been falling apart for 51 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.439 decades under the decades of Democrat run cities of Cincinnati, 52 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.240 and things haven't turned out real well for a lot 53 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.520 of residents. Safety and infrastructure, you get a little, you 54 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.960 get a handle on those, and people will really really 55 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.240 knock the doors down to what to move in the 56 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.879 city of Cincinnati. So many opportunities in the city in 57 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.800 so many ways that opportunity has given the well the 58 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.800 folks who run it. I'll go ahead and blame them 59 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.080 multiple folks over the years. Anyway, Adam Kayler in Studio 60 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.680 seven to five will have him for a couple and 61 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.560 then followed by Steve Bosco and Lisa listen from the 62 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.639 Climate Climate County Veteran Services. Sadly, we have to discuss 63 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.319 suicide awareness. There is a painful, painful thing to know 64 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.800 that American veterans commit suicide at a much higher rate 65 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.319 than the general population. Not that the figures from the 66 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.680 general population or anything to smile about. Lots of mental 67 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.360 health issues, a lot of challenges, and veterans have their 68 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.919 own unique set of challenges. We're gonna be talking about 69 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.039 that with Steve and Lisa at seven thirty. I hope 70 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.080 you can be around for that. Hamilton, speaking of Milissa Powers, 71 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.800 Hamilton County Prosecuting Melissa Powers joins the program at eight 72 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.599 oh five. I forget her for not being at lunch. 73 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.360 She's got meetings and she's got a lot of things 74 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.840 going on. Of course, with a campaign in full full swing, 75 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.399 we'll be talking early voting as well as juvenile justice 76 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.040 with Hamilton County Prosecuting Melissa Powers. Eight oh five for that, 77 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.759 and then it being Wednesday. Judge in Napolitano, Now the 78 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:34.240 Feds are spying on Congress. Huh, those who have sown 79 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.040 the wind shall reap the whirlwind, citing Hoseiah eight verse seven. 80 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.720 That's how he started out his column. Federal antipathy to 81 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.079 compliance with the Constitution is well known and well documented. 82 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.160 Always enjoy our constitutional discussions with Judge Anapaula Town and 83 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.040 I hope you do as well. Remember anytime you can't 84 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.879 listen live, he don't know what at fifty five Caresey 85 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.839 dot com, get the iHeartMedia app, listen to the podcast, 86 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.000 and uh, hey, yesterday's show posted up there, So if 87 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.199 you want to pull up that, please feel free to 88 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.160 do so. And also please feel free to call number 89 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.519 here five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, 90 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.800 eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five 91 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.199 fifty on AT and T phones. Man, we got all 92 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.439 kinds of things to talk about. Armed Venezuela and gang 93 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.560 members now after taking over complexes in Colorado now taken 94 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.480 over an apartment complex in Chicago. At least that was 95 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.160 the nine to one one call in an hour after 96 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.759 the police finally showed up in response to the nine 97 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.199 to one to one call that armed Venezuela and gang 98 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.040 members taking over the Chicago apartment complex. When they got there, 99 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:49.759 apparently they had already fled an interesting reaction though, that's 100 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.000 really the sum and substance of it. You know, thirty 101 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.000 two armed Venezuelan gang members overtake apartment complex in Sanctuary City, Chicago. 102 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.680 There's the blaring headlines from the Gateway puned it, which 103 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.480 of course is a very very very very very very 104 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.680 conservative leaning outlet biased strongly conservatives, and I would say 105 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.079 two biased. Sorry, Maureen, I know it's your favorite site, 106 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.399 but you know, quite often they really do take it 107 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.439 over the edge, much in the way you know MSNBC 108 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.480 know their left wing sites take it over the edge. 109 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.600 I just say it out loud so people are aware 110 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.120 that I'm aware of the sites that I'm looking at 111 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.279 and their political bias. But they do have the nine 112 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.680 to one to one call listed there. Caller mentioned stairwells 113 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.199 and the building are filled, creating a potential safety hazard. 114 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.000 Response officers were dispatched to the sixty one hundred block 115 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.839 of South King Drive after receiving reports of a large 116 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.959 group of migrants allegedly armed and congregating the building's courtyard. 117 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.439 Upon arrival, officers conducted a thorough search. However, according to officials, 118 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.439 no migrants were found in possession of weapons or motorcycles 119 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.319 and no immediate threat was identified. Again, the cops showed 120 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.199 up an hour after the call came in. Some were 121 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.040 lambasting the media for just merely reporting what the police 122 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.759 didn't find when they got there. They didn't an interview 123 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.319 the residents in the area or the folks that actually 124 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.279 live in the building that was overrun by, well, the 125 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.199 gang members. It's that same gang that is outside in Aurora, Colorado. 126 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:21.079 The spillover from the mass of immigration into into Colorado, 127 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:27.279 specifically Denver, and so Aurora being close to Denver, is 128 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.639 getting a lot of the spillover illegal immigrants and they're 129 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.800 having some problems there, as we've talked about just the 130 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.720 other day. But I thought this some people I just 131 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.399 don't think you want to mess with. And there's a 132 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.680 viral video going around. It is a statement directly from 133 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.800 I don't know who this guy is, but he issued 134 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:56.199 a threat to the Venezuelan gangs. One Chicago resident. He 135 00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.279 posted a video it's on TikTok, expressing concern about the 136 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.519 gang violence, the rampant gang violence that could break out 137 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.800 unless the Venezuelans are swiftly removed, which you and I 138 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.319 can probably presume that will not happen. But this guy 139 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:16.199 warns the Venezuelan gangs that they are in for a 140 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.279 kind of a tough ride if they continue to terrorize 141 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:24.319 the residents of Chicago and maybe getting them, in his words, 142 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:32.000 chopped up, if they don't stay home to all that. 143 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.679 This is what he says to all Venezuelans in Chicago. 144 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:40.120 If you ain't on all that BS not his word, 145 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.120 I'm abbreviating for the purposes of sec compliance. Stay neutral. 146 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.559 If you know someone in that building who is not 147 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.600 who is in on that BS, don't let them run 148 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.000 in that building, because once word gets out that that's 149 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.519 the building they're in referring to the Venezuelan and ill 150 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.559 Grant migrant gang members, they're gonna chop that B word down. 151 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.759 You better just stay in the house, he says. So 152 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.120 I don't speak Spanish, take this with a grain of salt. 153 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.840 If you like this ain't Colorado, this ain't Utah. This 154 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.840 ain't like none of them places. This is like where 155 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.879 you are from. The only difference is you use a 156 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.960 lot of handguns and old revolvers and machetes and s word, 157 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.200 we got switches. If you're not familiar with what a 158 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.200 switch is we will show you and would. He said 159 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.320 that quite a few times over and over in a 160 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.720 very threatening way. And he also asked that his statement, 161 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.000 since he doesn't speak Spanish, be pleased be translated so 162 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.440 the gang members understand what he is saying. And by switches, 163 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.240 there is no question in anyone's mind he's referring to 164 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:57.200 the yes, illegal but widely available and ubiquitous glock switches. 165 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.200 And if you're not with the lock switch, it's a 166 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.279 very small part, easily manufactured, probably on a three D 167 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.320 printer in your own home. If you want to make one, 168 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.480 it will make your glock handgun fully automatic, very inexpensive 169 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.480 part that would be illegal. This is me telling you 170 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:23.159 don't do that. And it roughly yeah, you know, twenty 171 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.639 five to fifty cents per round, and that magazine will 172 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.720 be completely empty after about one second using it. It's expensive. 173 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.919 This is why I don't like fully automatic firearms. Just 174 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.279 like it just not only is it kind of difficult 175 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.200 to control the firearm itself when it's in fully automatic mode, 176 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.879 but I know the price of ammunition. I'd rather squeeze 177 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.399 them off one at a time. But at any event, 178 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.399 it was it was not just a veiled thread. It was, 179 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:55.080 if you mess around, we are coming after you. I 180 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.320 don't know if this guy's a gang member, but I 181 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.080 saw his face and I heard his words, and I 182 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:07.799 would be a little concerned because there are already organized 183 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:14.120 gangs and territories in Chicago, a whole bunch of them. 184 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.080 And if you're the new kids on the block, you're 185 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.960 the new migrants in the block, and you come in 186 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.120 and you're trying to take over a territory, in this 187 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:25.159 particular case, one building. At least, this guy is telling 188 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.039 you there will be consequences, so keep your popcorn out. 189 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:28.519 On that. 190 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.840 Self defense, it could be. I suppose, it just depends 191 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.080 on how the circumstances unfold. What I see is a 192 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:48.600 mess andy, potentially bloody mess situation we've created here. And 193 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.080 it's odd because the Biden Harris administration is now negotiated 194 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.240 with the Mexican government bus passage through Mexico using the 195 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.559 CBP one asylum app. Yes, negotiated with the Mexican government, 196 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.559 So they're gonna get migrants buses. They sign up for 197 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.080 the CBP one app, they get on a bus, and 198 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.039 they are brought to the border here in the United 199 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.200 and let into the United States. That's a summon substance 200 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:16.120 of what we've got, free travel services made by appointment, 201 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.559 brought to you by our government. So maybe more of 202 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.639 the gang members will show up, and we'll have a 203 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.679 little gang war situation going on in the city of Chicago, 204 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.799 and sadly maybe coming to a theater far too close 205 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.360 to you and me here in the greater Cincinnati area. 206 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:41.960 Five one happy Wednesday. Since I mentioned guns and gang 207 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.279 violence and the threats to the Venezuelan gangs, do better 208 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.639 not mess with the gang members in Chicago. What is 209 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.919 described as a significant legal victory for Second Amendment advocates 210 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.720 a federal judge this is amazing. A federal judge has 211 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:02.080 ruled that Illinois ban on carrying concealed firearms on public 212 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:10.759 transportation is unconstitutional. Wonder if the residents of New York 213 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.279 are were going to be able to carry on their subways. 214 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:19.399 US District Judge Ian Johnston or Lane Johnson, I apologize 215 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.440 I responsible lawsuit by four Illinois residents who argue the 216 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.559 state's Firearm Concealed Carry Act restricts unfairly their right to 217 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.519 self defense. The judge agreed, said the rule bands violates 218 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.039 the Second Amend the rights of citizens who carry, who 219 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.879 hold concealed carry permits, and they do. In this particular case, 220 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.840 case challenged the provision of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act 221 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.480 prohibiting firearms on any form of public transportation, including buses, trains, 222 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.799 and related facilities. Players argued in the lawsuit that banded 223 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.200 In fringes on their constitutional right to bear arms, particularly 224 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:58.000 as they did have valid concealed carry licenses. Judge Johnson's 225 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:02.240 decision noted that the state failed to demonstrate an American 226 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.639 tradition of such regulations that would support the prohibition, referring 227 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.200 back to, of course, the Bruin decision, which pointed out 228 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.639 that regulations restricting the bearing of arms have to be 229 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.559 consistent with the historic tradition of firearm regulation in the 230 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.200 United States as it existed when the Framers created the 231 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.639 right the Second Well didn't create the right to the 232 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.240 Second Amendment. They acknowledge your god given right to defend 233 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.759 yourself is, in essence what the Second Amendment is. Go ahead, 234 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.919 take yourself back to the state of nature. You're born 235 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.200 into a field where there is no government. How many 236 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.759 rights do you have? You literally have all of them, 237 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.840 including the right to defend yourself against like wild beasts 238 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.080 and animals and people who might do you harm. That's 239 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.360 the point anyway. Judge pointed out the right to carry 240 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.360 firearms for self defense is not limited to the home, 241 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.879 and that there is no historical basis for banning or 242 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.919 carrying firearms on public transportation, stating the state's arguments which 243 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.879 tried to draw parallels between modern public transportation and historical regulations. Sorry, 244 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:04.320 not convincing. And it's pointed out the planets in the 245 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:08.320 case had refrained from using public transportation as much as 246 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.399 they would have liked because they're afraid they'd be prosecuted 247 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.480 criminally because they had their well concealed carry permit and 248 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:19.000 their concealed carry firearms. And they say the Illinois Attorney General, 249 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.279 Kwame Raoul, who happened to be one of the defendants 250 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.360 in the case, says that he can't appeal the decision. 251 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:32.919 Maybe they will, It is certainly possible. So at least 252 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:34.840 you got that going for you if you're in Illinois. 253 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:40.320 Now subject to review by a higher court. But that 254 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:46.159 would actually give me a great deal of comfort. I've 255 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.080 been the victim of an attack on an Illinois Chicago subway. 256 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.320 Not a fun day for me. Got clubbed over the 257 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.919 head by an angry baggage carrier from United Airlines. She 258 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.240 refused to let me sit in the seat next to her, 259 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.039 which was empty, with the exception of her very small purse. 260 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.840 I did not abide. I sat there anyway, and it 261 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.960 did not result in a pretty outcome anyway. It was 262 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.600 that was the moment in time when I realized. This 263 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.360 is after my wife and I had already decided we 264 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.720 were moving back, you know, told people I was leaving, 265 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.600 I'd accepted a job, we were getting ready to sell 266 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.360 the house. And I'm on the subway and I'm thinking 267 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.320 to myself, I won't have to do this much longer. 268 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.559 I'm moving back to Cincinnati. And that happened, And it 269 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.440 was at that moment in time I sort of smiled 270 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.080 to myself, in spite of the fact that I got 271 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.200 clubbed over the head by this woman's purse on her 272 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.279 way off the subway. Yep, we're doing the right thing, 273 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.799 moving back to the city of Cincinnati. By thirty on 274 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:48.960 a Wednesday and a halfy ones eave listener Lunch Wednesday, 275 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:54.759 say Bernard Weedam and Brewery five on three seven hundred 276 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.480 eight two three talk time five fifty on AT and 277 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.759 T phone go to local stories. Got a person dead 278 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.559 under several others taken to the hospital after a three 279 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.880 vehicle crash and having a Batavia. Yesterday afternoon, Ohio State 280 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.680 Highway Patrol sent and release first responders dispatched a State 281 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.000 Route thirty two and Harold Road about two pm. Investigation 282 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.279 preliminaria determined a man driving a Chevy Sonic southbound on 283 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.079 Harold crossed into the intersection, was hit by a woman 284 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.839 driving a Lincoln Navigator on State Route thirty two. Sonic 285 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:28.880 then crashed into Infinity q X sixty specifically stopped northbound 286 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.000 on Harold Route. Driver the Sonic treat of the scene 287 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.400 for minor injuries. One passenger, a fifty one year old 288 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:36.960 Tassy Sherman of Lanchester, was taken to the Clarmont County 289 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.759 Mercy Hospital pronounced dead. Another passenger listed as a seventy 290 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:43.920 one year old woman taking the UC Medical Center with 291 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.519 serious injuries. Highway patrols of the man are the woman 292 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.680 rather driving the Lincoln Navigator in her eighteen year old 293 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.640 passenger also taking the UC Medical Center, but with minor injuries. 294 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.960 Driver and passenger in the infinity were taken to Bethesta 295 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.640 North with minor injuries, and that crash remains under investigation. 296 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:03.200 Sure the Highway Patrol would love to hear from you 297 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:09.079 if you know anything about that one. Oh my god, 298 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.039 what are we going to do? Northern Kentucky University no 299 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.079 longer has an Office of Inclusive Excellence. Emails sent to 300 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:22.240 students last week, university president doctor Katie Short Thompson announced 301 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.160 that NK used Chief Diversity Officer, a person named doctor 302 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.400 darry DARRYL Peel, stepped down. She also told students he 303 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.799 decided to dissolve the Office of Inclusive Excellence, which is 304 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.799 described by a university spokesperson as an office that quote 305 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:41.119 ensures the principles and practices of diversity, equity inclusion are 306 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.680 embedded into all aspects of university life. I guess bad 307 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:50.079 idea anyway. In the email, short Times you mentioned conversations 308 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.480 involving the diversity equity inclusion happening across the state. University 309 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.319 of Kentucky announced a similar change their DEI office earlier 310 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:02.240 in August. She wrote the circumstances under which universities across 311 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:05.200 the Commonwealth in the country find themselves. Coupled with the 312 00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.799 legislative priorities of state leaders for the upcoming session, require 313 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:16.880 universities to change. Republican State Senator John schickel And, for 314 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:20.160 his part, has been an outspoken criticism of the DEI office. 315 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:24.240 Local news WCPO received the statement from Sickle thanking NKU 316 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:28.519 for eliminating the Office of Inclusive Excellence. This decision is 317 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:31.519 supported by myself and widely supported by the people I represent. 318 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.319 The office, despite its intentions, was a driving force. By 319 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.680 removing an NKA was taking a significant step towards fostering 320 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:43.079 a more cohesive and successful educational environment by judging students 321 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:48.240 on academic excellence and not their race or gender. All right, 322 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.400 step in the right direction, I imagine. 323 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:52.279 Oh. 324 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:57.240 Look, Molson and Corps have also scrapped their woke DEI policies. 325 00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.640 It's a trend, folks. Everybody seems to be going on 326 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.960 that durrect action. Anderson Township Residents is going to be 327 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.440 voting on public safety levy November could increase property taxes. 328 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.680 Township says its fire department has seen a thirty one 329 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:14.319 percent present increase in calls for services since twenty sixteen. 330 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.799 The last time officials asked voters for more public safety money, 331 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.200 Levy would keep services at their current level and comes 332 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.759 down to an additional nineteen dollars and twenty five cents 333 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.799 a month on your property tax bill for a property 334 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:31.920 valued at two hundred thousand dollars. Township officials credit the 335 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.599 higher volume to a growing senior population, reporting that residents 336 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.359 fifty five an older, account for thirty or seventy three 337 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:52.440 point five percent of its EMS responses choices. Let's see 338 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.599 school prank. Maybe Anderson Township trustee Josh Girth considers this 339 00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.720 a crime? What are we talking about? He shared on Facebook. 340 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.240 At the Anderson and Turpin classes in nineteen ninety four 341 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.519 were having a reunion at the American Legion Post on 342 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:10.160 Wilmur Avenue Saturday the twenty fourth. A four foot tall 343 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:15.680 Spartan wood carving on loan from Turpenzach Athletic Director director 344 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.359 was in attendance. Post says that about eleven PM, attendees 345 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:26.680 moved the reunion inside, leaving the Spartan carving outside and 346 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.079 it was taken. Garth said, the forty to fifty pound 347 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:30.920 statue has a lot of sentimental value. I was hoping 348 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.920 that someone was just playing a practical joke or holding 349 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.240 it for ransom. But unfortunately, now that a week has 350 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:36.880 gone by, that does not seem to be the case, 351 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.720 he wrote on Facebook. Gert saied that now a police 352 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.680 report has been filed, there's a reward for any information 353 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.440 leading to the whereabouts or it's safe return.

Let us start in the 384 00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:23.359 stack of stupid with what is described as a sidistic 385 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.519 urologist who is facing now a massive number of lawsuits. 386 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.680 Brace yourself, folks. I'll do my best to work within 387 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.839 FCC compliance. I have never read a story about this 388 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.759 much exploitation of people. More than one hundred and fifty 389 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:43.599 male patients are suing what they're calling a sadistic former. Thankfully, 390 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:50.079 top city urologist, a guy named Darius Paddock pa d uh, 391 00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:57.119 making this the largest case involving male victims now totaling 392 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.400 three hundred and ten by a single abuser. According to 393 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.759 the Lawyer's Planet's lawyer Anthony di Patria, speaking with The 394 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.960 New York Post, Darius Baddock exploited more male patients than 395 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.640 any predator in history, saying the doctor abused what is 396 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:16.079 believed to be thousands of victims and survivors. Apparently, they 397 00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:19.400 say and reading the Post article, that depravity knew no bounds. 398 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.559 According to a disturbing account shared to the Manhattan Supreme Court, 399 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.680 filings with victims ranging from retirees to minors, Among other 400 00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:29.960 things this pervert would do, he would inject to serim 401 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.319 into some victims' penises to force erections for long periods, 402 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:43.240 perform penyle enlargements that led to disfigurement, conduct cytoscopies without anesthesia, 403 00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:45.720 and force some patients to get on all fours for 404 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.319 humiliating supposed exams. During some of these sessions, this doctor 405 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.720 walked around with a pen would point to parts of 406 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.160 the patient's nude body as if he were acting as 407 00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.400 a professor. According to the court papers quote, it's worse 408 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.440 than I could ever ever have imagined, said one mother 409 00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:07.319 of one of the most recent plaintiffs said it devastating 410 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.000 news were nearly killed or would and she learned what happened. 411 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.240 He was the rested in April last year, criminally convicted 412 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.759 of may on thirteen counts of sexual abuse in federal courts, 413 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.599 now facing up to sixty years in prison. At some points, 414 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.240 the abuse took place in front of nurses, assistants, and 415 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.000 even other physicians. According to the allegations in the court pleadings, 416 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:29.319 his attacks under the guys of necessary medical care included 417 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:34.039 instructing patients to pleasure themselves in front of them, or 418 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:39.480 him pleasuring himself in front of his patients, often while 419 00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:47.480 playing pornography. He would sometimes measure his patients aroused penises 420 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.960 and use what are described as phallic shaped sex toys 421 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:59.039 on them. One heartbreaking patient saw this guy for more 422 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:01.039 than a decade, in state that he was just seven 423 00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:04.880 years old when it started. Another victims thirteen. One victim 424 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.279 said Paddock squeezed his penis so hard that it was 425 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:13.240 bruised for weeks afterwards. One plaine off claimed the doctor 426 00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:18.200 prescribes so many needless medication that he went into liver failure. 427 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.279 One fifty six year old patient lay in the examination 428 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:27.680 table quote, doctor Paddock unzipped his pants and told the 429 00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:31.240 man that he wanted him to see what an aroused 430 00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:38.359 penis look like. This continued from apparently twenty seventeen until 431 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:43.559 he was arrested in twenty twenty three. In July, Judge 432 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:47.000 rejected an effort by this guy's lawyers to dismiss and 433 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:50.680 seal the massive class action lawsuit brought by the plane 434 00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:54.240 off's attorney that one hundred and forty three new victims 435 00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:56.920 are not currently part of the class action have filed 436 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:02.000 individual lawsuits. Well ri out of time, but we're just 437 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.799 going to go ahead and let that guy have the 438 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.079 biggest douce of the Universal Award without playing.

They 446 00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:35.119 got enough signatures over to more doctor Shenanigans in the 447 00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:38.759 Stack of stupid Here, Alabama, husband died on a Florida 448 00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:43.400 operating table when the doctor mistakenly removed the man's liver 449 00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:45.880 during a surgery before the surgeon attempted to pass off 450 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.759 the organize and an enlarged spleam William Bryan his wife 451 00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.519 Beverly visiting their rental property in Oklahoosa County, Florida last month, 452 00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.720 he began experiencing lower left abdominal pain. Seventy year old 453 00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:01.200 muscle souls. The resident went to a mentioned Sacred Heart 454 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.960 Emerald Coast Hospital, where he was admitted for further test 455 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:10.359 over concerns about an abnormality of the spleen. General surgey 456 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:16.480 doctor Thomas Shang Shaknovski and doctor Christopher macconnie, the hospital's 457 00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.920 chief medical officer, persuaded the family for Brian to undergo 458 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:22.880 surgery at the hospital or he could experience serious complications 459 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.440 if he left the hospital. According to the lawyers from 460 00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.440 his firm, Brian agreed with the doctors underwent a hand 461 00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:33.440 assisted laparoscopic spleen actomy. In the middle of the surgery, 462 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:40.359 Shankovsky removed Brian's liver by transacting the major vascular supplying 463 00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.480 the liver vasculatures supplying the liver. Surgical cut resulted in 464 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:51.359 immediate and catastrophic blood loss, resulting in death. After erroneously 465 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.200 removing that guy's liver, the general servant surgeon labeled the 466 00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:59.400 organ as a spleen, which was only identified as the 467 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:04.279 liver after the man's death. Doctor Thomas Shanofsky accused of 468 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.960 removing Brian's liver during an operation on his spleen. According 469 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:13.119 to his lawyers, proceeded to explain to Beverly Brian that 470 00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:15.519 her husband's spleen was so diseased that it was four 471 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.200 times bigger than the usual one had migrated to the 472 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.799 other side of his body. Inside the human body of 473 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.359 the liver's located on the upper right side of the 474 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:26.400 abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm and above the stomach, 475 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:29.519 right kidney and intestine. The spleen happens to be on 476 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.119 the left side, upper left side of the abdoum, next 477 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:37.039 to the stomach, Significantly smaller than the liver and roughly 478 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:50.880 the size of a fist. Wow, the future of medicine. 479 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.759 I wonder if he was a DEI hired Danny.

The word democracy. We 533 00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:40.799 hear it every minute of the day on the left 534 00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:47.720 under the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, our bill wrights, 535 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:51.799 book upon book of all the US codes, including the 536 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:55.160 Oath of all this.

These Marxists lift wing 539 00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:04.920 fanatics keeps saying that we're all threats to. 540 00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:11.160 Democracy because they take us for idiots. Bobby, that is 541 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:17.480 either that reveals their level of stupidity, or they think 542 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.519 we know so a little about the structure of our 543 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.519 own government that they can get away with calling it 544 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.319 a democracy, which it absolutely is not. We live in 545 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:28.240 a representative form of government. It's a republic. That's why 546 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:30.720 we take all this time and elect people who make 547 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.720 decisions on our behalf as bad as that may be, 548 00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:36.200 handing over the keys of our lives and the people 549 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.880 who want to micromanage everything. At least we get to 550 00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:41.720 vote them out of office. But we don't get to 551 00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:44.799 vote on every issue. If we lived in a true democracy, 552 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.640 every damn thing that is out there in the world 553 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:49.359 we would all get to vote on. And can you 554 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.119 imagine how bad it would be if we did live 555 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:53.240 in a true democracy. 556 00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.480 I've got one other thing, base flagged family and firearms. 557 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:00.640 You know, brother, if you have those, you always say 558 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.720 a predom Amen to that, Amen to that. I appreciate 559 00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:06.359 your call, Bobby and your observations. Bobby is correct. We 560 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.880 do not live any democracy. Let us see here over 561 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.119 to Tech Friday every Friday at six thirty. I hope 562 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.719 my listeners know that it's really important. But I just 563 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.519 saw this article and it is, you know, and there's 564 00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:25.400 some other related points to it, but how just unbelievably 565 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:29.000 easy it is to manipulate us generally speaking, and how 566 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:35.119 these tech companies are obviously very politically biased. We turned 567 00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.719 over to Amazon's Alexa, and I would never own one 568 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.079 of these. I find them to be extraordinarily creepy, especially 569 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.400 given there's another article about Yeah, your phone may very 570 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.440 well be listening in on you. There's been a daily 571 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:55.239 mail website report about a leak from a marketing firm 572 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.800 name a Cox Media Group showing how the company's active 573 00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:03.039 listening software uses artificial intelligence to collect and analyze quote, 574 00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:07.880 real time intent data close quote from consumers by listening 575 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:11.199 to their conversation through the microphones on their phones, laptops 576 00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:13.880 and home assistant. So you got that big brother element 577 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:15.719 going on, which is something I always think about when 578 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.320 I think about Amazon's Alexa or any of these other things. 579 00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:21.559 Turn on the radio or do whatever, and it's listening 580 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.960 to your like, okay, is it listening all the time? 581 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.800 Is it listening to everything I'm saying? Because you know, 582 00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:28.719 I don't want that big brother thing going on to 583 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.039 my home. So I just presume that that is exactly 584 00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.599 what's going on, and so I don't have one. I 585 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:38.239 manage fine without one. But if you have one and 586 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:41.000 you ask it for information, it depends on who you're 587 00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:44.280 asking about, but you're gonna get some pretty biased information. 588 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:50.199 Amazon Alexa when asked why to vote for Republican Donald 589 00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:54.400 Trump or why to vote for Democrat Kamala Harris. When asked, 590 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:59.559 quote why should I vote for Trump? Close quote, Alexa's response, 591 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.480 I cannot provide responses that endorse any political party or 592 00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:12.719 its leader. Fair enough. Tested by Fox News Digital another time, 593 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:16.199 similar answer when I asked about Trump, I cannot promote 594 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:21.199 content that supports a certain political party or specific politician. Furthermore, 595 00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:23.400 Alexa said, I do not have the ability to provide 596 00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:26.639 information regarding the policies of the US government. The responsibility 597 00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:29.320 providing information regarding the policies of the US government lies 598 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:35.639 with the government itself. I guess that's fair enough, But 599 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:43.360 contrasts that when you ask about Kamala Harris. Directly afterward 600 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.679 after receiving the response about cannot promote content supporting a 601 00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:51.679 particular party. When asked specifically about Trump, Alexa, who was 602 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:57.599 asked why someone should vote for Harris. Interestingly, Alexa had 603 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.920 a different response while there are many reasons to vote 604 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:03.440 for Kamala Harris. The most significant may be that she 605 00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:07.360 is a woman of color who has overcome numerous obstacles 606 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.960 to become a leader in her field. Additionally, her experience 607 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.760 as a prosecutor and her record of accomplishment in the 608 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.639 areas of criminal justice and immigration reform make her a 609 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:25.440 compelling candidate. Close quote. Can you reconcile those two different responses? 610 00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:31.320 Fox News reported in another incidents when asked Alexa, why 611 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.800 should I vote for Kamala Harris? Alexa response, While there 612 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.880 are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris, the most 613 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:41.119 significant may be that she is a female of color 614 00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:46.840 with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality 615 00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:51.039 throughout the country. Now, that's two instances in which female 616 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:54.679 of color became It was the most fundamentally important reason, 617 00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:57.800 at least in the minds of the programmers of Alexa, 618 00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:02.840 to vote for a person. Does being a female of 619 00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:08.480 color qualify you? Does being a male of any color 620 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:12.199 qualify you? No, they don't. The color of one's skin 621 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.599 does not matter in terms of whether you're qualified to 622 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.119 hold higher office or any other given position. Maybe a 623 00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.400 doctor or a lawyer or anything else. It's your education 624 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.599 level and your accomplishments along those lines, and your ability 625 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:27.320 to deal with the problems associated with any particular role 626 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.039 you're trying to achieve. And what is her comprehensive plan 627 00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:35.239 to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country. Alex 628 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.960 apparently knows what her plan is and has information about it. 629 00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:41.039 If I was talking to this damn thing, I would 630 00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:45.840 to say, well, can you explain plex, Please explain what 631 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:49.280 you mean by Kamala Harris's comprehensive plan to address racial 632 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:51.719 injustice and inequality throughout the country. What do you mean 633 00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.679 by that? And what is the plan? Because so far 634 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.840 she hasn't articulated a damn thing about what she's running on, 635 00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:01.039 basically running away from her prior record. She's on record 636 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:07.679 for why vote for Kamala Harris, questioned Alexa. Another time, 637 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:11.840 Alexa responds. Harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general, emphasizes 638 00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:15.119 her law and order credentials and promises a tough on 639 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.840 crime approach to battling the violent crime wave that has 640 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.039 swept the nation in recent years. Has she said that 641 00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:28.079 she was in favor of defunding the police she funded organizations, 642 00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:33.039 was bailed out bad guys after they got arrested. This 643 00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:40.199 is just like whole cloth made up. I love this. 644 00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.559 After Fox News Digital reach it out for her comment, 645 00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:49.119 and Amazon spokesperson admitted an error their word that has 646 00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.800 since been corrected. Spokesperson speaking with Fox News Digital, this 647 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:59.280 was an error that was quickly fixed. Nuh. Now in 648 00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.519 Alexa's that's the voting for Harris, it says, I cannot 649 00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:05.599 provide content that promotes the Pacific p Ah, the same 650 00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.320 answer you got well before the fix that it gave 651 00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:11.639 you for Donald Trump. You see the bias in this 652 00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:19.960 any at all? No nothing to see here. And moving 653 00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:24.320 over to Elon Musk and RFK teeming up yesterday pointing 654 00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:29.639 out where Kamala Harris was on the record, Kamala Harris 655 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:35.039 wants to shut down the X platform fka Twitter unless 656 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:39.119 it conforms to government oversight ah, dusting off a clip 657 00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:43.800 from twenty nineteen Harris talking with CNN after a Democratic 658 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:49.920 presidential primary debate where she was blasted on social media 659 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.480 for directly speaking to millions and millions of people without 660 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.159 any level of oversight and regulation. Something she said, has 661 00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:59.280 to stop social media speaking directly to millions and millions 662 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.679 of people without any level of oversight and regulation is bad. 663 00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:04.880 She said, that has to stop. 664 00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:09.360 Huh. 665 00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:12.440 I don't know what the numbers were for Kamala Harris's 666 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.559 CNN interview. I would be willing to guess it was 667 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:17.559 millions and millions of people that tuned in for that. 668 00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:21.559 I know millions and millions of people tuned into the 669 00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:25.519 Trump Biden debate before Biden's struggled with the coup attah. 670 00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:28.119 They were speaking to millions and millions of people. They 671 00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:33.639 were not directly regulated or in having oversight. There was 672 00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:36.639 a television camera that was just you know, reporting real 673 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:39.519 time or showing us real time the words that came 674 00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:42.760 out of their mouth. Fact checker is hard at work 675 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.079 the moment Donald Trump opened his mouth, and they're entitled 676 00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:48.760 to do that. But there's no regulation and oversight on 677 00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.159 his free speech or Biden's free speech or Kamala Harris's 678 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:56.559 free speech. But if you go to X and say 679 00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:00.360 something that is supposed to be regulated, are they the 680 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:02.800 only ones that get to speak freely about any topic 681 00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:06.199 without having someone analyze what they're going to say before 682 00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:06.880 they say it. 683 00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:08.480 Of course not. 684 00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.360 In a full interview Harris express her desire to see 685 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:21.079 then President Trump's Twitter account fka Twitter right removed because 686 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:27.960 of its negative impact on society. Here's a quote. And 687 00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:30.840 when you're talking about Donald Trump, he has sixty five 688 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.559 million Twitter followers. He's proven himself to be willing to 689 00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:38.400 obstruct justice. Just ask Bob Muller. You can look at 690 00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:42.320 the manifesto from the shooter in El Paso to know 691 00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:47.440 what Donald Trump says on Twitter impacts people's perceptions about 692 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.599 what they should and should not do. And isn't that 693 00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.159 what every politician does. Are they not out in the 694 00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:58.880 social world, speaking either directly in town halls to people 695 00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:06.079 on television, on radio, or through social media, trying to 696 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:12.519 impact people's perceptions. Of course they are. That's what politicians do. 697 00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:17.840 I don't know why they're so afraid. Is social media 698 00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:19.360 that you and I can go out and say what 699 00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.079 we want and say what's on our mind. I do 700 00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:23.880 it day every day on the morning show. I don't 701 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:28.400 have somebody editing my content. You are. And if you 702 00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.840 find something I say is erroneous wrong, you've got a 703 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:32.519 different opinion. You just call me up and say, wait 704 00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:34.920 a second, Thomas, you got that wrong, And I'm like, oh, really, 705 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.719 I'll do my best to correct the record if I'm 706 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.360 caught saying something that's inaccurate, but I'm never going to 707 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:48.360 try to lie to you. But when you compare this 708 00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:52.960 Alexis story to this general fear that so many politicians 709 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:58.159 have over your and my free expression and exchange of ideas, Yeah, 710 00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:02.679 there's some horrific stuff out there, some absolutely horrific stuff. 711 00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:04.480 And I'm not trying to defend in any way, shape 712 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:08.239 or form, you know, child pornography or anything that involves 713 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:11.280 abusing children. But if you want to exchange your free 714 00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:14.559 exercise and talk about politics, if you want to share 715 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:18.360 some insane position like from each according to his ability, 716 00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:21.400 to each according to his need a la Carl Marx, 717 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:25.079 knock yourself out, because I know there's a million people 718 00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:26.760 out there. They're going to respond to you telling you 719 00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:29.400 what an idiot you are for believing in those concepts. 720 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:35.440 There you elevate it to debate, but no, they don't 721 00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:39.000 want to have that conversation.

One day before 817 00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:40.199 an Abondeale murder suspect was charged, she posted videos to 818 00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:42.559 social media showing the shooting and what led to the 819 00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:46.079 gun gunfire. Since i police have charged twenty three year 820 00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:49.280 old Akira Fletcher with murder an Filonius assault for a 821 00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:52.360 July twelfth shooting that killed Naima Norton, who was twenty 822 00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.119 nine and injured another. One happened around two thirty of 823 00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:57.039 the morning July twelfth and the rear farking lot behind 824 00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:01.480 Avondale Town Center Norton onstead of you See Medical Center. 825 00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:04.559 On August twenty six, four days after her death, Fletcher 826 00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:09.199 posted the videos to Facebook. She was booked into the 827 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:12.519 Hamilton County Jail the next day. In the Facebook post, 828 00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:15.159 she said she called police July twelve, asking for them 829 00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:17.480 to please send somebody. Quote. I was being punched in 830 00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:21.039 my face, rockstone at me. Now you trying to get 831 00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:23.000 in my car. She busted my driver's side window out 832 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:24.599 and attack me. She can need to trying to get 833 00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:27.559 into my car and stab me, and I let her 834 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:29.679 hit me while I was on the phone with nine 835 00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:32.280 one one asking for help. That's a quote from the video. 836 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:37.079 Lecher's first video shows her exit her vehicle and exitter 837 00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.480 vehicle to a woman pulling a knife out of her 838 00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:43.559 vehicle tire and then throw a rock at her. Fletcher 839 00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:45.800 continues to claim the woman and her cousin are slashing 840 00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:47.840 her tires. At this time, Fletcher says that she has 841 00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:50.840 a gun in her purse. Shortly after Fletcher's back windshield 842 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:54.320 was shattered, Fletcher then exits the vehicle in an argument 843 00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.000 ensues before she re enters her vehicle and attempts to 844 00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:01.719 leave the parking lot. And the second video, Fletcher's Driver's 845 00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:04.360 side window had been shattered, and she continues to repeat 846 00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:07.079 You're going to jail. As Fletcher and the two women 847 00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:10.039 continue to argue, one woman reaches through the broken window 848 00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.599 to grab Fletcher. Fletcher then fires off four gunshots before 849 00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.440 exiting the vehicle. Criminal defense law attorney Carl Lewis said 850 00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:22.519 while social media media videos may appear to provide context, 851 00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.039 there are still other things attorneys and court systems take 852 00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:27.679 into account. Whether or not the state or that the 853 00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:30.519 defense believes that a video has been posted as prohit 854 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:33.599 probative that if it's brought into court, then I'd say 855 00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:37.599 very well. The concern which you have is, like anything else, 856 00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:40.920 chain of custody. Has the video been doctored, has it 857 00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:42.880 been altered? Is there something that you want to show 858 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:47.920 that should not be shown anyway? Fletcher currently held in 859 00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:50.199 the Camelton County Jail, doing court for the first time 860 00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:52.800 on Friday. Police send investigations on going.

US Attorney's Office and 905 00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:19.360 District of Maryland pointed out that CARES Act provide emergency 906 00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:23.480 financial assistance to Americans suffering from the economic consequences of 907 00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:28.760 COVID nineteen authorized forgivable loans to small businesses for employee 908 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:33.480 retention and certain business business expenses through the paycheck Protection programs. 909 00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:44.159 And apparently this pastor Rudolph Brooks participated in his scheme 910 00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:47.159 to fraudulently obtain the PPP loans and used those loan 911 00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:51.000 proceeds for his personal ENRICHMENTD three and a half million 912 00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:53.840 dollars worth. He bought a fleet of luxury cars, among 913 00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:59.360 other things, and he admitted it, so why he's in jail. 914 00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:03.480 And then there's Jacob Laine, who is described as a 915 00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:07.519 Republican strategist based in Illinois, pointing out some similar shenanigans 916 00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:10.039 going on. If you said, if you're ever in Danville, Illinois, 917 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:13.159 why don't you cruise, buy and check out the new 918 00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:19.800 thirteen million dollar water park thanks to the money from 919 00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:22.599 the American Rescue Plan Act at twenty twenty one m 920 00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:30.639 Danville Aquatics Center. He notes the funds that built the 921 00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:35.039 new water park were intended for COVID nineteen recovery efforts. Sadly, 922 00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.679 the questionable expenditure represents a small fraction of the one 923 00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:43.000 point nine trillion dollar American Rescue Plan, one of the 924 00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:46.440 plans pumping trillions of dollars into an overty, overheated economy 925 00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.199 that has caused inflationary realities for all of us that 926 00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:52.760 were still struggling with law allocated three hundred and fifty 927 00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:57.079 billion dollars specifically for emergency funding the state, local, and 928 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:02.480 tribal governments, which ultimately ended up building things like the 929 00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:08.239 Danville Aquatic Center. American Rescue Plan funds have been used 930 00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:11.199 in questionable ways, he points out. In New Jersey, Governor 931 00:56:11.239 --> 00:56:14.360 Phil Murphy spent fifteen million dollars of your labor in 932 00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:21.519 the form of debt on promotional efforts to attract Soccer's 933 00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:28.000 twenty twenty six World Cup to New Jersey. How does 934 00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:31.480 that relate to COVID nineteen anyway, he doesn't main twenty 935 00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:36.039 million dollars to modern modernized fish atcheries. North Carolina stole 936 00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:38.440 fIF or five million dollars to the development of the 937 00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:49.119 Moonshine Walking Trails. Moonshine Walk is that like the Bourbon Trail. Arizona, 938 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:53.119 for their part, spend seven million dollars to boost horse racing. 939 00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:58.159 New York used two million dollars. Well, Ron Wilson would 940 00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.719 like this when at least they planted thirty six hundred 941 00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:07.760 trees in Broward County, Florida, commissioners well one hundred and 942 00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:14.199 forty million dollars to build a twenty nine story luxury hotel, 943 00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:18.679 and as mister lane Wright's most absurd, nearly two billion 944 00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:22.679 of American Rescue Plan funds were earmarked for non existent 945 00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:30.239 county governments in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Let that sink in, 946 00:57:32.679 --> 00:57:35.320 He says, It's hard to say what's more embarrassing about 947 00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:38.719 this oversight, That so much federal money was allocated to 948 00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:43.480 phantom administrations, or that not a single member of Congress 949 00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:47.400 did the research to verify whether these county governments existed. 950 00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:57.159 Two billion dollars folks, they points out billions and spent 951 00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:00.679 on purposes unrelated economic recovery from the past pandemic. Under 952 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:04.519 the law's guidelines, state and local governments were restricted using 953 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.960 funds for only four categories of eligible expenses responding to 954 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:14.400 the adverse economic effects of COVID, providing additional compensation for 955 00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:19.119 essential workers, restoring lost revenue, and advancing critical infrastructure projects 956 00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:25.360 like water, sewer and broadband. None of the foregoing World 957 00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:33.159 Cup promotion, fish hatcheries, the Danville Aquatics Center, none of that, says. 958 00:58:33.239 --> 00:58:35.559 Danville received a total of twenty six million dollars in 959 00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:38.360 American Rescue Plan funds and allocated half to a water 960 00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:46.679 park open only three months a year. This is one 961 00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:49.400 of the reasons, out of a multitude, why I hate 962 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:54.920 big government programs. It is literally impossible to assure that 963 00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:57.719 people are complying with the law. Now, my question out loud, 964 00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:00.199 since they busted the pastor who stole three three and 965 00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:02.199 a half million dollars to buy a fleet of cars 966 00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:05.880 using PPP funds, will they go after city of Danville 967 00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:09.360 or any of these other states for spending money on 968 00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:13.679 things that had no damn connection whatsoever for COVID, in 969 00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:17.760 other words, were way beyond the confines of the appropriate 970 00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:20.760 use of the of the money as written into law, 971 00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:23.840 passed or passed into law by Congress and the President. 972 00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:27.039 Don't hold your breath because I'm certain it's not going 973 00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:30.239 to happen. Six forty seven fifty five Krcity talk station. 974 00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:33.280 Oh the wouldn't it be wonderful to have some accountability? Oh? 975 00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:35.239 By the way, Dan Villinois, you o is thirty the 976 00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:39.400 American taxpayers thirteen million dollars because the water park has 977 00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:43.480 nothing to do with COVID. Six fifty three to fifty 978 00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:47.599 five cars cit detalk station Eppy Wednesday. Adam Kahler in studio, 979 00:59:47.880 --> 00:59:50.800 latest on the campaign as he runs for Hemun County Commissioner, 980 00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:53.360 as well as that signature campaign on the six hundred 981 00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:57.559 million dollars property tax vehicle or funds the case. Maybe 982 00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.239 we'll see how that's going. And a response from some 983 01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:03.519 Brad Winster but was earlier we speaking to Elon Musk 984 01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:06.599 and Robert F. Kennedy Juniors. Dragging back up to the 985 01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:11.840 top Kamala Harris's argument for regulating social media because social 986 01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.760 media sites directly speak to millions and millions of people 987 01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:18.719 without any level of oversight regulation, something she said has 988 01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:22.800 to stop. You mentioned specifically Donald Trump and is sixty 989 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:25.679 five million then Twitter followers proven himself to be willing 990 01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:28.199 to obstruct justice. You can look at the manifesto from 991 01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.639 the shooter in El Paso to know that Donald Trump, 992 01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.280 what Donald Trump says on Twitter impacts people's perceptions and 993 01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:36.159 what they should and should not do. And I point 994 01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:38.559 it out that's what she does. That's what any politician does. 995 01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:44.760 You have the forum right. 996 01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:46.239 In. 997 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:51.000 Congressman Winstorm says, well, wait a second, who influenced the 998 01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:54.719 guy who tried to shoot Donald Trump, who influenced the 999 01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:58.199 guy who tried to take out well as many congressmen 1000 01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:05.360 and women as possible the baseball game, where thankfully doctor 1001 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:08.719 Winstrop was present and was able to help save lots. 1002 01:01:09.679 --> 01:01:11.559 It could be anybody. It could be one of these 1003 01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:14.760 nut job comedians with the severed head of Donald Trump 1004 01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:18.679 in her hand. Right, nobody complained about, you know, censoring 1005 01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:21.440 that it could be any one of the number of 1006 01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:25.719 celebrities who have millions and millions of followers who made 1007 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:31.039 similar utterances about offering Donald Trump. Oh, we were only kidding, though, 1008 01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:36.639 any one of the gazillions of people anywhere who talk 1009 01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:42.079 about right wing extremists and evil racist Republicans and misogynists 1010 01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:44.000 and blah blah blah, blah blah, none of which happens 1011 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:46.519 to be true in the vast majority of situations, but 1012 01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:50.519 can be very influential, especially when you've got someone who 1013 01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:55.599 has no grip on reality. We got the manifesto finally, 1014 01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:59.159 from the twenty eight year old transgender student who killed 1015 01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:02.760 six people at a Nashville Christian school. Remember that one. 1016 01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:10.760 It's been released. This person was sick in the head, 1017 01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:14.760 and when you read the manifesto, I don't know why 1018 01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:15.760 they kept it away from this. 1019 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:16.599 I mean you end up. 1020 01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:18.360 I mean, in spite of the fact that this person 1021 01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:22.800 was an absolute, outright murderer of children. When you read 1022 01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:26.079 things like you know, quote I'm a sad boy born 1023 01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:29.440 with a puny vagina close quote, amongst some of the 1024 01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:33.440 other ramblings and insanity in this manifesto, you say this 1025 01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:40.880 person was sick in the head and needed help. And 1026 01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:45.000 censorship of social media ain't going to solve the problem. 1027 01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:47.760 People who are sick in the head and are willing 1028 01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:50.599 to take a firearm and murder children or take a 1029 01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:57.480 shot at a presidential candidate could be influenced by literally anything, anywhere, 1030 01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:02.199 at any time. It's amazing how social media has become 1031 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:03.800 the big demon in all this, in spite of the 1032 01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:06.599 fact that I will admit it's got problems.

So yeah, good for you. 1052 01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:11.360 That's prior plans. And of course you're on a campaign 1053 01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:13.599 trying I understand do my thing. You've been at listener 1054 01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:17.039 lunch many times, so you know what you're missing. Anyhow, 1055 01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:19.800 without further ado, let's dive on into the situation. Of course, 1056 01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:22.320 Adam is running for Hamilton County commissioner. Haven't seen really 1057 01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:27.880 anything by way of activity from the current incumbents, kind 1058 01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:30.039 of been maintaining a really low profile, haven't they. 1059 01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:32.960 I haven't seen anything outside of them, you know, crying 1060 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:36.719 about the Frank LeRose proposal yesterday, with the whole ballot 1061 01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:40.280 harvesting situation we got going on, That's the last time 1062 01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:42.039 I've heard of them at all. I just don't think 1063 01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:44.400 they have a whole bunch of energy or they maybe 1064 01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:45.639 they just have too much confidence. 1065 01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:50.119 Well, and a lot of people you know that we 1066 01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:52.639 know Hamilton County has gone blue. I mean, no one 1067 01:04:52.639 --> 01:04:56.199 can deny that we've got some critically important races here. 1068 01:04:56.800 --> 01:04:59.679 And you know, I am in favor of your campaign one. 1069 01:04:59.719 --> 01:05:01.159 I know you and I know where you are on 1070 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:03.119 the issues. I mean, for no other reason, jeez, we 1071 01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:05.599 could use somebody with a different opinion or attitude than 1072 01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:09.360 the lockstep leftist mentality we get from the commissioners, or 1073 01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:13.239 really literally nothing at all, and that would cause me 1074 01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:15.679 to move over to local reporting, because I mean, let's 1075 01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:18.280 face it, do you ever read anything about what the 1076 01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:19.840 Hamilton County commissioners are doing? 1077 01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:22.800 You have no idea, nobody even knows what commissioner's jobs 1078 01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:25.559 are they don't know. I mean, you're writ in the checks. 1079 01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:27.880 A lot of money's coming in. We control the biggest 1080 01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.840 budget in the area and a lot of that goes 1081 01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:33.599 to the sheriffs, A lot of that goes to public services, 1082 01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:37.159 the parks, things like that. But people don't understand how 1083 01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:41.800 much power, essentially the Hamilton County Commissioners have. But you 1084 01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:44.400 don't hear from them. They're like invisible for some reason. 1085 01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:48.440 Everybody focuses on city Council, but the Hamilt County Commissioners 1086 01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:50.480 have a lot of power to do a lot of 1087 01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:54.119 things that could change the way money is spent. Your 1088 01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:56.920 tax dollars are spent in this area. 1089 01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:00.320 Yeah, one of the areas that I have heard. I 1090 01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.119 don't know because I'm not Amilton County Sheriff, but I 1091 01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:07.159 do talk to Sheriff Jim Neil quite our hopefully sheriff again. 1092 01:06:07.239 --> 01:06:10.280 Jim Neil, of course, is running against our current sheriff, 1093 01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:15.199 Charmiye McGuffey. But the whole kind of dei environment that 1094 01:06:15.360 --> 01:06:18.000 is going on and that they're promoting that, and that 1095 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:21.239 means promoting people based upon maybe the color of their skin, 1096 01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:23.719 or their gender, or their sexuality as opposed to a 1097 01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:27.960 merit increase, and that is a morale killer. I mean 1098 01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:31.519 it's just in every company in America. Once they've adopted 1099 01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:33.599 these policies, you can see more and more have of 1100 01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:36.119 them are dropping them. The minute it's revealed that they 1101 01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:39.960 pursue these policies, someone points it out and the next 1102 01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:43.519 thing you know, look, oh Molsen Cores has scrapped it's 1103 01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:47.239 woke DEEI policies. There's a local article in the newspaper 1104 01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:51.039 this morning about oh who was it? 1105 01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:57.079 Well, which school Texas did a Duke University? Just did 1106 01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:59.920 I believe Northern Kentucky University or the Kentucky Universe? 1107 01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:03.280 That was the one I read. Their Office of Inclusive Excellence, 1108 01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:06.920 which is the DII office, has been dropped. So it's 1109 01:07:06.960 --> 01:07:11.320 being rejected more and more because it really profoundly impacts 1110 01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:16.840 employee morale. I mean, if you're not working off merit 1111 01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:20.039 then it's Katie bar the door. 1112 01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:22.480 America is about meritocracy. 1113 01:07:22.679 --> 01:07:28.079 It is greatness needs meritocracy. You can't And this goes 1114 01:07:28.119 --> 01:07:31.159 back to the schools, Brian. The Cincinnati public school system 1115 01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:35.360 is in complete shambles. If you didn't have these problems, 1116 01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:39.039 I mean, you've got a forty one percent chronic truancy 1117 01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:41.719 rate in the Sinsini public schools. We spend twenty one 1118 01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:44.559 thousand dollars a student, two to three times more than 1119 01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:45.079 what some of these. 1120 01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:46.079 Public schools are charging. 1121 01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:50.559 Yet we get nineteen percent college readiness rates those kids 1122 01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:52.199 that are graduating. And I was one of mine, went 1123 01:07:52.239 --> 01:07:56.719 to Cincie Public right, pretty much my whole entire life. 1124 01:07:56.920 --> 01:07:59.159 They're not coming out of school prepared for these things. 1125 01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:02.320 So why would you force a square peg into a 1126 01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:06.039 round hole? The problem is the schools you wouldn't need DEI. 1127 01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:09.760 If the schools were performing exactly. 1128 01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:11.719 You wouldn't need it. The kids would be prepared. 1129 01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:15.320 And if you're someone who's being forced into a job 1130 01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:19.000 that you're not prepared for, you shouldn't want that position anyway. 1131 01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:20.640 Greed, you're setting yourself up for your. 1132 01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:23.600 Setting yourself up for failure. Why would you want something 1133 01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:24.720 that wasn't earned? 1134 01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:27.279 Right, which takes me back to the point I was 1135 01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:30.640 hoping would be reality you mentioned and how much control 1136 01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:33.439 the commissioners have. They're in charge of the sheriff budget. 1137 01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:36.479 It's the biggest chance of money that the county pays out. 1138 01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:39.640 Could they not have limitations on how that money is spent. 1139 01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:41.640 In other words, none of this money can be ear 1140 01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:46.560 marker used or otherwise for diversity, equity, inclusion programs and things, 1141 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:49.319 indoctrination programs and things of that nature. 1142 01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:52.560 And you know what when I knew the Jim Neil 1143 01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:54.880 was the right guy for the job was when he 1144 01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:57.720 told me we don't need more money. I said, Jim, 1145 01:08:57.880 --> 01:08:59.800 if I've become one of the Haml kind of commissioners, 1146 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:01.840 tell me what you need. Because crime and safety is 1147 01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:04.319 one of the biggest problems in the county. People leave 1148 01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:07.000 the county number one. I did a survey on Twitter 1149 01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:09.600 the other day. The number one reason, I said, I've 1150 01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:12.279 been in this city my entire life. If you left, 1151 01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:15.119 why did you leave? Crime and safety was number one. 1152 01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:18.159 Schools was number two. And I said to Jim, I said, 1153 01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:20.199 you you let us know what you need. He said, 1154 01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:22.680 we don't need more money, Adam. He said, we need 1155 01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:24.840 to be more efficient, we need to be more proactive, 1156 01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:26.840 We need to get into the community, We need to 1157 01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:29.680 work with the people. And I said, that's the first 1158 01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:33.239 time I've heard any right, any any police officer, firemen, 1159 01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:36.800 anyone tell me they didn't need more money, right, And 1160 01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:39.600 Jim's a Westsider. You know we are where, you know, 1161 01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:41.960 hiding money under the mattress. 1162 01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:45.880 Have a lot of the money we first earned, you know, 1163 01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:48.800 the original the dollar that we first earned, still in 1164 01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:50.880 our pockets. And that's just the way west Siders are 1165 01:09:50.920 --> 01:09:53.359 typically very frugal with the money. But I mean that 1166 01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:56.600 see his admission along those lines as a reflection that 1167 01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:58.920 it's not the amount of money, it's how. 1168 01:09:58.760 --> 01:10:02.720 It's spent one h and look at the waste. Like 1169 01:10:03.039 --> 01:10:04.800 one of the things Brian and I would get so 1170 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:08.279 excited about this being a cheap Westsider who was raised 1171 01:10:08.279 --> 01:10:11.479 by a grandma, little German, five foot tall grandma who 1172 01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:15.119 grew up in the depression. I would love to get 1173 01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:17.720 a third party audit, just to go look at the 1174 01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:20.199 county's numbers, Go look at all the money we spend on. 1175 01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:23.840 There's a DEI department. There's a DI department called the 1176 01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:27.279 DEI department. They didn't even try to hide it in 1177 01:10:27.359 --> 01:10:31.279 the county. Why do we have adi department? Are there 1178 01:10:31.319 --> 01:10:36.560 a bunch of wealthy white college PhDs looking to get 1179 01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:38.319 jobs at the county that we don't know about that 1180 01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:40.800 we need to keep out of those jobs. It's it's 1181 01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:45.000 government work, right, I mean, everybody can work in those jobs. 1182 01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:48.520 So I mean you've got you've got just craziness going on. 1183 01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:51.640 And to me, it's it's kind of a grift by 1184 01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:55.680 Democrats to get people who went to college for BS degrees, 1185 01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:59.560 liberal arts degrees just to find them positions. 1186 01:10:58.600 --> 01:11:01.680 That it is the industry that was created whole cloth. 1187 01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:03.680 It sounds like the green industry. 1188 01:11:03.920 --> 01:11:07.439 It's what it creates jobs for people that have no other. 1189 01:11:07.319 --> 01:11:10.880 Skills, right, Or you know, went to college and racked 1190 01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:13.000 up fifty to one hundred maybe two hundred thousand dollars 1191 01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:15.319 worth of student loan debt and came out with a 1192 01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:20.720 degree in humanities or you know, human studies or whatever, just. 1193 01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:21.840 Call it a degree in complaining. 1194 01:11:22.520 --> 01:11:24.279 Well, there you go, that's what it is. So we 1195 01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:26.520 got to create a new department to hire those folks 1196 01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:29.800 because they don't have jobs or otherwise don't have anywhere 1197 01:11:29.800 --> 01:11:33.039 to turn for gainful employment because the degree was pointless. 1198 01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:36.119 Well, the vast majority of jobs recently, I mean, if 1199 01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:38.239 you look at the employment numbers, those are government jobs 1200 01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:41.239 that are being added. I know that a huge swath 1201 01:11:41.319 --> 01:11:43.680 of those jobs, and you know the Feds looking at 1202 01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:46.159 what job numbers. One of the reasons they haven't dropped 1203 01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:49.800 interest rates recently is because the job numbers look good. 1204 01:11:49.880 --> 01:11:52.880 What they've been told is that the job numbers are great, 1205 01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:57.520 and then later on they reassess those numbers and they realize, oh, 1206 01:11:57.560 --> 01:12:02.560 we had eight hundred thousand jobs added last year, right. 1207 01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:08.960 But like jeez, leave. But when they first announced the numbers, they. 1208 01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:11.920 Look one job and that was the figure out where 1209 01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:14.239 we are in terms of j well. 1210 01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:16.840 And here here we are kids can't afford houses. You've 1211 01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:19.760 got an entire generation of people that can't afford homes 1212 01:12:19.760 --> 01:12:21.680 because interest rates have been so high for so long. 1213 01:12:21.880 --> 01:12:23.840 And then on top of that, the prices went up 1214 01:12:24.039 --> 01:12:27.399 because for so long the interest rates were so low, 1215 01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:30.439 you had people coming in buying if these houses, overbidding 1216 01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:34.000 for them, pricing up the properties, and those property values 1217 01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:37.520 have relatively stayed where they're at. So now you've got 1218 01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:40.199 the Fed talking about maybe a quarter point reduction here 1219 01:12:40.199 --> 01:12:44.920 in September, right in the wall streets looking for a half, right, 1220 01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:46.800 but they're only probably going to get a quarter. And 1221 01:12:46.840 --> 01:12:49.960 now you've got these high flying tech stocks that kept 1222 01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:53.159 Biden looking good for so long. Those are taking a 1223 01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:55.600 dump now, like in Vidia. People are looking at them 1224 01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:57.800 and saying, look at the valuation of Nvidia. It's gone, 1225 01:12:57.800 --> 01:13:00.960 it's out of control. You know that the AI hype 1226 01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:01.960 is kind of wearing off. 1227 01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:04.600 Yeah, And to that point, I love the memes that 1228 01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:08.239 I see on The typical question is comparing Trump to 1229 01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.319 Kamala Harris formerly, you know, Biden, are you better off 1230 01:13:11.359 --> 01:13:13.800 now or are you better off under Trump? And most, 1231 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:15.600 the vast majority of us felt like we were better 1232 01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:17.800 off under Trump, and for no other reason. The price 1233 01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:20.359 of gasoline, the price of groceries, in the price of housing. 1234 01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:23.359 And then someone on the left side of the ledger 1235 01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:25.720 will post the stock market and they'll show you where 1236 01:13:25.720 --> 01:13:27.600 it was back when Trump was president and where the 1237 01:13:27.680 --> 01:13:30.079 numbers are now, Like, what do you mean you better 1238 01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:33.279 off now? You better off before? And I'm thinking to myself, well, 1239 01:13:33.319 --> 01:13:35.119 you know, there's a whole lot of folks that have 1240 01:13:35.279 --> 01:13:38.039 the biggest problem out there with the price of groceries, 1241 01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:41.199 and they're on the life's lower end of the margins. 1242 01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:44.319 They're the folks who are struggling. Generally, they aren't high paying, 1243 01:13:44.399 --> 01:13:47.640 high falutin kind of job folks. They're not invested in 1244 01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:49.800 the market, so you can show them that figure all 1245 01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:52.880 day long. They only wish they had the extra money 1246 01:13:52.920 --> 01:13:55.239 to be invested in the market. In the meantime, they're 1247 01:13:55.279 --> 01:13:56.840 struggling to figure out how they're going to buy a 1248 01:13:56.840 --> 01:13:59.359 pound of ground beef.

Find 1261 01:14:33.239 --> 01:14:35.640 him online, help him out, get a yard sign and 1262 01:14:36.520 --> 01:14:39.479 help bring some diversity. If I may be so bold 1263 01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:42.600 and saying to the Hamilton county commissioners. I mean, Adam's 1264 01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:45.239 already pointed out, you know, in charge of budgeting, we 1265 01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:48.479 could limit how the sheriff budget is spent. We could 1266 01:14:48.479 --> 01:14:51.039 cut away some fat in that. But moving over, since 1267 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:52.880 you are a city resident, and I know you've been 1268 01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.920 following this the whole railroad sale. Of course you were 1269 01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:59.239 against that. We led up to the sale of the railroad. 1270 01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:03.319 So one billion dollars in a fund earning money. How 1271 01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:07.159 that's doing, I don't know. But Tom Brakman comes up 1272 01:15:07.159 --> 01:15:10.039 with the idea like, wow, everybody's property taxes went through 1273 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:13.119 the roof, like a thirty percent across the board increase, craziness, 1274 01:15:13.159 --> 01:15:15.319 some seniors can't afford to even stay in their home. 1275 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:21.159 Obviously caught us all off guard. But he wants to 1276 01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:23.800 take six hundred million dollars out of that fund and 1277 01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:26.640 put it in a separate invested fund to help the 1278 01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:30.399 residents of the city pay real estate taxes. Now, normally 1279 01:15:30.439 --> 01:15:33.600 I'm against government programs like this, because you know, if 1280 01:15:33.640 --> 01:15:35.760 you buy a property, then you should be in a 1281 01:15:35.760 --> 01:15:38.239 position to be able to pay your taxes. But I 1282 01:15:38.279 --> 01:15:41.119 did like the idea of taking that money away from 1283 01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:43.319 the government. I have to have pur baal and since 1284 01:15:43.319 --> 01:15:45.640 they city council, so they can't build another leg of 1285 01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:48.520 the street car or whatever. So where do you know 1286 01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:50.880 where we are in terms of how the signature gathering 1287 01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:53.399 is going, or how people are receiving this or they 1288 01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:55.119 in favor of it. What's the story on this out. 1289 01:15:55.159 --> 01:15:57.119 I'll tell you they You know, I've been dealing with 1290 01:15:57.159 --> 01:15:58.880 some people down in Salor Park and they love it. 1291 01:15:59.720 --> 01:16:02.960 Most people in Cincinnati really like the idea. The problem 1292 01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:04.399 with the city of Cincinnati is you got a lot 1293 01:16:04.399 --> 01:16:09.319 of renters, so they don't understand why this would benefit them. 1294 01:16:09.960 --> 01:16:13.159 And you know, as a landlord, if my property taxes 1295 01:16:13.199 --> 01:16:15.960 go up, I'm going to pass that on. And most 1296 01:16:16.079 --> 01:16:18.800 landlords are going to pass that on and tack on 1297 01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:21.479 something because they see that as an opportunity. Oh well, 1298 01:16:21.640 --> 01:16:23.439 property taxes went up, I'm gonna have to raise your rent, 1299 01:16:23.439 --> 01:16:25.000 but I'm gonna have to tack a little something extra 1300 01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:27.640 side to that. Right, So it does affect renters. But 1301 01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:31.079 you're right, what are they doing with this one point 1302 01:16:31.159 --> 01:16:33.199 six down here? What do we think they're gonna do 1303 01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:33.479 with that? 1304 01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:33.960 We don't know. 1305 01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:35.439 A lot of people are saying, hey, they're gonna buld 1306 01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:37.039 an arena with it. They're gonna do this with They're 1307 01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:39.000 gonna do that with it. They've got some plan for 1308 01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:43.159 that money. Right, do we trust city Council? Do we 1309 01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:45.640 trust the Railroad Board? After they lied to us in 1310 01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:48.479 the whole campaign, They completely lied to us about practically everything. 1311 01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:51.560 Right, I want Fred's Street to get fixed and paved. 1312 01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:53.279 You know, we got forty years. 1313 01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:55.199 Where Sunset Avenue. Can you fix that one? 1314 01:16:55.399 --> 01:16:58.239 Lord almighty, it's been a wreck for how many years? 1315 01:16:58.319 --> 01:16:59.640 You take a left from Queen City on there and 1316 01:17:00.399 --> 01:17:02.760 you need an alignment boom, Your. 1317 01:17:02.840 --> 01:17:05.119 Shocks and everything are screwed, everything, you know. 1318 01:17:05.159 --> 01:17:12.479 And I was obviously the absurdity of the American rescue plan. 1319 01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:14.720 I was pointing out that you and I, as American 1320 01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:17.680 tax players, under a rescue plan that was supposed to 1321 01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:21.680 be dealing with COVID related problems, we ended up building 1322 01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:25.760 water parks and paid for advertising campaigns for horse racing. 1323 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:28.520 And you know that's the kind of thing that money 1324 01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:33.119 is supposed to be limited to existing infrastructure. It means 1325 01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:35.880 Fred Street might get fixed because we got a billion 1326 01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:40.119 six in the bank generating revenue. But do you trust 1327 01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:43.119 them to keep it limited to something that already exists, 1328 01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:46.119 like the streets, the buildings that are crumbling, the bridges 1329 01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:48.079 that are crumbling, the things that they have left and 1330 01:17:48.159 --> 01:17:50.000 neglected for decades and decades. 1331 01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:52.960 Well, and Brinckman is really smart about this, and people 1332 01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:55.159 are like, oh, Brickman, he's shaking it up. 1333 01:17:55.560 --> 01:17:56.920 You know what they did at city council. 1334 01:17:57.640 --> 01:18:00.159 They got rid of a property tax cap that had 1335 01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:03.760 property taxes at twenty nine million dollars for twenty years. 1336 01:18:04.279 --> 01:18:07.720 In twenty twenty two, six to nine, they voted to 1337 01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:10.720 get rid of that property tax cap. Now it's creeping 1338 01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:12.800 back up. I think it's at thirty two maybe thirty 1339 01:18:12.800 --> 01:18:16.560 six million now. So at the same time they got 1340 01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:19.359 rid of the property tax cap. When people are complaining 1341 01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:21.319 about their property taxes going up, what do they do. 1342 01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:24.720 They point the finger at Republicans in state of Ohio. 1343 01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:27.640 They say, it's the state House's problem, it's the law. 1344 01:18:27.880 --> 01:18:31.399 There's nothing we can do. They said that, Brian, there's 1345 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.840 nothing we can do. So what does Brinkman do. He 1346 01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:36.960 does something about it. He says, we got one point 1347 01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:40.119 six sitting here. He said, let's say we take six 1348 01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:42.960 hundred million dollars out of that one point six. You 1349 01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:47.079 told us UBS who's managing the money, told us that 1350 01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:49.159 they're making six and a half percent on that money. Right, 1351 01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:51.319 if you make six and a half percent on six 1352 01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:54.479 hundred million, that's thirty nine million that pays property taxes, 1353 01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:56.199 and then you have some leftover to roll back into 1354 01:18:56.199 --> 01:18:58.920 that six hundred million dollar trust. It's amazing, which pays 1355 01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:04.079 property taxes potentially indefinitely. You have good years and bad years. Right, 1356 01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:05.399 this is one of the arguments we had to gain 1357 01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:07.560 the railroad. The same problem with the railroad. You're gonna 1358 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:09.479 have the exact same problem in the railroad. So put 1359 01:19:09.479 --> 01:19:12.239 it into a property tax trust. And then what does 1360 01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:14.479 that do for the pr the city of Cincinnati. You've 1361 01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:18.119 got people fleeing the City of Cincinnati, fleeing Hamilton County. 1362 01:19:18.439 --> 01:19:22.760 Now you can say, why would you move to Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Columbus. 1363 01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:25.159 You don't have property taxes to pay in city Cincinnati 1364 01:19:25.159 --> 01:19:28.000 because there's this trust. Did Pittsburgh have a railroad to sell? 1365 01:19:28.119 --> 01:19:29.840 Did Indianapolis have a railroad to sell? 1366 01:19:29.960 --> 01:19:30.039 No? 1367 01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:33.600 If you want affordable housing, you can come to the 1368 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:36.640 City of Cincinnati. I don't understand why city council wouldn't 1369 01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:38.800 be behind this don't they want more people to move 1370 01:19:38.840 --> 01:19:41.840 back to Cincinnati. Well, we're handing this to you wan 1371 01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:46.600 a silver platter. This pr opportunity and whether or not 1372 01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:50.359 it pays it forever. It's the idea that they are 1373 01:19:50.439 --> 01:19:53.279 trying that somebody like Tom Brikman is out here saying, 1374 01:19:53.560 --> 01:19:57.520 you know what, quit pointing fingers and actually do something 1375 01:19:57.560 --> 01:19:58.279 for a change. 1376 01:19:58.680 --> 01:19:59.520 And that's what this is. 1377 01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:01.720 About, Adam Kle Will we have a chance to vote 1378 01:20:01.760 --> 01:20:03.760 on that? If not by November, If they don't collect 1379 01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:06.840 the next signatures, the signature campaign will continue. They'll collect 1380 01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:09.439 enough at some point, so maybe on a special election, 1381 01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:10.119 maybe in the. 1382 01:20:10.039 --> 01:20:11.479 Spring, maybe December, January. 1383 01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:14.399 Yes, well it's coming at some point and we'll all 1384 01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:16.479 get a chance to chime in at Adam Kayler dot com, 1385 01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:18.760 where you find Adam helps campaign out, get a campaign 1386 01:20:18.840 --> 01:20:21.239 sign He is running for Hamilton County commission We could 1387 01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:24.760 use a guy like Adam on the Hamilton County Commissioner board, 1388 01:20:24.760 --> 01:20:27.399 so we get him some better ideas and some exchange 1389 01:20:27.399 --> 01:20:30.159 of different concepts. Adam, You're always welcome to the studio, 1390 01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:32.279 my brother. We'll have a good have a great week. 1391 01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:36.000 We'll talk again obviously between now and November, So stay 1392 01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:39.279 well and keep up the great seven thirty three coming 1393 01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:41.439 up with seven thirty fourth If you above carec Detalk station. 1394 01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:45.880 Coming up next, we'll hear from the Clemont County Veteran 1395 01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:49.920 Services being the studio talk with Steve Balco and Lisa 1396 01:20:49.960 --> 01:20:52.600 Listen about suicide awareness and I really wish we didn't 1397 01:20:52.640 --> 01:20:55.560 have to talk about that very important topic, of course, 1398 01:20:55.600 --> 01:20:58.640 but it's sad that the American veteran community is a 1399 01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:04.439 statistically much larger percentage of folks that have suicidal audiation 1400 01:21:04.520 --> 01:21:06.439 and commit suicide. We'll dive any details on that and 1401 01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:08.399 hopefully help some folks out coming to the next segment. 1402 01:21:08.399 --> 01:21:13.119 In the meantime, I got time for maybe one local story. 1403 01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:14.640 Here's what it is. Brought up we were talking with 1404 01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:19.079 Adam Taylor. Northern Kentucky University got rid of its Office 1405 01:21:19.079 --> 01:21:25.079 of Inclusive Excellence. University Professor doctor Katie Shore Thompson introduced 1406 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:30.199 the nku's chief diversity Officer, doctor Darryl Peel, said a 1407 01:21:30.319 --> 01:21:32.920 step down. She also told students he decided to dissolve 1408 01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:36.680 the entire office, described by a university spokesperson as an 1409 01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:41.680 office that quote ensures the principles and practices of diversity 1410 01:21:41.720 --> 01:21:44.960 equity inclusion are embedded into all aspects of university life. 1411 01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:47.119 Well no longer embedded, I guess since you don't have 1412 01:21:47.119 --> 01:21:51.000 an office anymore. In the email, short Thompson mentioned the 1413 01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:55.239 conversation involving diversity equity inclusion happened across the state. University 1414 01:21:55.279 --> 01:21:58.039 of Kentuck, Kentucky announced a similar change to their DEI 1415 01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:02.000 office earlier in August. According to her email, the circumstances 1416 01:22:02.039 --> 01:22:05.439 under which universities across the Commonwealth and the country find themselves, 1417 01:22:05.479 --> 01:22:08.079 coupled with the legislative priorities of state leaders for the 1418 01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:15.680 upcoming session, require universities to change. Some are happy about 1419 01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:19.079 it and some aren't. I happen to fall into the 1420 01:22:19.119 --> 01:22:22.159 former category, so maybe your tuition will go down since 1421 01:22:22.199 --> 01:22:24.960 they don't have to pay for people to work in 1422 01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:29.600 the Office of Inclusive Excellence. Let's get some help from 1423 01:22:29.600 --> 01:22:32.359 the American Veterans Talk Suicide coming up next with Steve 1424 01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:35.479 Bosco and Lisa Listen from the Clamat County Veteran Services 1425 01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:40.000 fifty five KCD talk station, trying to make it a 1426 01:22:40.000 --> 01:22:42.079 happy Wednesday. It is happy because it's listening to Lunch 1427 01:22:42.119 --> 01:22:44.880 Wednesday were going to be at Weedaman Brewery in Saint 1428 01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:48.479 Bernard if you can make that, but tempered happiness, because 1429 01:22:48.520 --> 01:22:50.960 we need to talk about suicide Awareness month. September is 1430 01:22:51.000 --> 01:22:54.199 Suicide Awareness Month. And joining me in studio Lisa Liston. 1431 01:22:54.359 --> 01:22:58.439 She is the suicide Prevention coordinator for the CINCINNIVA And 1432 01:22:58.560 --> 01:23:01.279 on the phone, I guess stuck in traffic. Steve Belso, 1433 01:23:01.359 --> 01:23:03.960 executive director at Clairemont County Veteran Services. Steve, can you 1434 01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:06.680 hear me? Brian? 1435 01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:07.439 Good morning to you. 1436 01:23:07.720 --> 01:23:09.880 Good morning, wish you were here and I'm sorry you're 1437 01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:13.640 stuck in traffic, but we will manage to muddle through. 1438 01:23:13.760 --> 01:23:15.880 Let's start with you, Steve. You spent three years on 1439 01:23:16.039 --> 01:23:21.039 active duty. How is it different for a veteran compared 1440 01:23:21.079 --> 01:23:23.159 to active duty? And one of the things we always 1441 01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:26.000 point out when we're talking about suicide awareness, the veteran 1442 01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:29.479 community is different from the general population. I think a 1443 01:23:29.520 --> 01:23:31.199 lot of it, and you correct me if I'm wrong, 1444 01:23:31.279 --> 01:23:34.039 because I didn't serve. But from what I've learned over 1445 01:23:34.079 --> 01:23:37.239 the years, it's you have that camaraderie, you have that 1446 01:23:37.680 --> 01:23:41.079 built in team that you're working with. You're with them 1447 01:23:41.199 --> 01:23:43.640 in the trenches, you're with them day in and day out. 1448 01:23:43.640 --> 01:23:47.479 You're with them doing task. It's a very controlled environment. 1449 01:23:47.560 --> 01:23:50.159 And to leave that and to go out here in 1450 01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:53.199 the world, where you know, think life is different, that 1451 01:23:53.239 --> 01:23:56.039 in and of itself can be extraordinarily stressful. Mike, am 1452 01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:57.239 I even close on that? 1453 01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:01.760 No, you're absolutely right. Let me give your listeners one correction. 1454 01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:05.079 Not three years, but almost three decades. 1455 01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:07.119 Decades, decades. I got notes in front of me, Stee. 1456 01:24:07.159 --> 01:24:10.920 I apologize, Steve, I know that three decades, but. 1457 01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:12.600 I had spent three at one point. 1458 01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:14.720 Yes, that's great. 1459 01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:16.760 You had three years and then I. 1460 01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:17.600 Spent three years. 1461 01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:22.640 Now three years, and then twenty seven plus more after that. 1462 01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:26.119 I'm sorry, but you know what, it's right. You know 1463 01:24:26.119 --> 01:24:27.920 what my shoes on so I can count. 1464 01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:32.079 So let's let's yes, let's let's talk about that that 1465 01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:36.680 veteran while on active duty, amongst his brothers and sisters, 1466 01:24:37.239 --> 01:24:44.880 there is an intrinsic relationship again to the localized family. 1467 01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:48.600 You have leadership above, you have brothers and sisters to 1468 01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:54.520 your left and right. There is constant observant of one another, 1469 01:24:54.840 --> 01:24:59.640 a recognition of attitude, ways to call one another to task. 1470 01:24:59.760 --> 01:25:01.840 Hey, you're not acting. 1471 01:25:01.560 --> 01:25:05.479 The same, are you? Okay? Right. There's ways to amplify 1472 01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:08.199 help by taking it up the chain of command when 1473 01:25:08.520 --> 01:25:13.760 when Johnny or Sally's not acting the same what was occurring. 1474 01:25:14.039 --> 01:25:17.560 You know, we went from twenty two a day for 1475 01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:20.960 years a veteran suicide and we're down to somewhere and 1476 01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:23.600 Lisa will correct me with exact but somewhere around seventeen 1477 01:25:23.600 --> 01:25:24.239 and a half nuts. 1478 01:25:24.279 --> 01:25:25.680 We've made some progress. 1479 01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:29.680 But the unique thing is on active duty, eyes are 1480 01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:34.399 always on one another. It's when we leave that unit 1481 01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:39.399 and come back home, no one's looking left and right, 1482 01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:42.479 no one's looking out for John or Janey, and it's 1483 01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:47.079 easy for them to regress back into a corner to 1484 01:25:47.199 --> 01:25:55.680 become this stoic I guess presence dealing with the monster 1485 01:25:56.199 --> 01:26:01.880 of whatever the stressor was, that's building inside of the individual, 1486 01:26:02.479 --> 01:26:07.520 that's taking over the desire to live. And so it's 1487 01:26:07.560 --> 01:26:10.359 so important that we are constantly talking about this though 1488 01:26:10.359 --> 01:26:14.000 it's a drab subject, we have to talk about this 1489 01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:17.800 that we get veterans to help that they need sooner 1490 01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:19.000 rather than later. 1491 01:26:19.399 --> 01:26:22.159 Well, and there's a proactive role family can take in 1492 01:26:22.239 --> 01:26:25.399 substituting for the team that isn't there anymore that would 1493 01:26:25.439 --> 01:26:29.880 recognize these things. But this also forces the veteran who's 1494 01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:32.159 struggling with this to have to be proactive on their 1495 01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:34.600 own behalf to seek out the help that they might need. 1496 01:26:34.640 --> 01:26:37.560 And quite often I get the impression they're not quite 1497 01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:40.560 sure where to turn. But they're also you know, strong, 1498 01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:44.239 you know, humble, proud people who may reject the idea 1499 01:26:44.279 --> 01:26:46.000 of getting any assistance to start with. 1500 01:26:47.560 --> 01:26:50.079 Sure, you know, we have to get rid of the 1501 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:57.000 tagline that even thoughts of suicide is a weakness, and 1502 01:26:57.039 --> 01:27:01.399 there's the vibrado of military members to tell me I'm weak. 1503 01:27:02.119 --> 01:27:07.680 Is a is an attack against my armor. Suicide is 1504 01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:13.720 against the very design of nature in society that we see. 1505 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:15.840 You cut down a tree, it wants to grow back. 1506 01:27:16.199 --> 01:27:17.720 You cut off a branch, a new one wants to 1507 01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:20.159 come out. The animal wants to live. That's why I 1508 01:27:20.199 --> 01:27:25.560 say escaping. It is intrinsic and even society that people 1509 01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:29.560 want to live. And when the monster inside is growing 1510 01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:35.399 stronger than your desire to live, it's a medical issue 1511 01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:38.760 going on. There's something that's not connecting well. That person 1512 01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:40.000 needs to find that release. 1513 01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:42.359 All right, let's pause for a moment. We'll bring back 1514 01:27:42.399 --> 01:27:45.520 Steve Belzo And of course we'll hear from Lisa Liston, 1515 01:27:45.560 --> 01:27:48.279 who is the suicide prevention coordinator, gets some ideas about 1516 01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:50.560 how we can help and what we can do and 1517 01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:52.640 what to look for like by way of warning signs, 1518 01:27:52.640 --> 01:27:55.279 et cetera. If you want, if you have KCD talk station, 1519 01:27:55.680 --> 01:27:58.720 September is Suicidal Awareness Month, and that's why we're talking 1520 01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:02.640 with Steve Bellso, executive director of Comer County Veteran Services. 1521 01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:05.159 But we're going to pivot over to Lisa Liston, who 1522 01:28:05.279 --> 01:28:08.319 is the suicide prevention coordinator with the Insane VA. Lisa, 1523 01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:10.159 it's a pleasure to have you in studio here today. 1524 01:28:10.199 --> 01:28:14.159 IM glad you're able to make it suicide prevention coordinator. 1525 01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:17.600 Let me go directly to the point. How's the Cincinnativa 1526 01:28:17.760 --> 01:28:22.359 involved in helping to prevent veterans suicide? I mean identifying 1527 01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:24.439 it's an issue we talked about with Steve a little 1528 01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:26.880 bit about that. But how do you get in prevention. 1529 01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:30.079 Well, there's a couple of things to realize, and that is, yes, 1530 01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:35.000 suicide can be a very glum topic to discuss. However, 1531 01:28:35.199 --> 01:28:38.760 what doesn't get discussed is how we can prevent suicide 1532 01:28:39.239 --> 01:28:43.319 and all of the people who actually recover from suicidal thoughts. 1533 01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:46.399 You can recover from it. There are many things that 1534 01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:48.279 can be done. And the things that we do at 1535 01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:51.520 the VA to prevent suicide would be we give out 1536 01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:55.359 free gunlocks to veterans and families and organizations that would 1537 01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:57.840 like to distribute them. So we want to make sure 1538 01:28:57.880 --> 01:29:03.119 that every person who owns a firearms securely manages those 1539 01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:05.640 firearms because what you have to remember in a time 1540 01:29:05.720 --> 01:29:09.319 of crisis, when a person is suicidal is when they 1541 01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:11.000 might be very impulsive. 1542 01:29:11.239 --> 01:29:14.159 Impulsive, that's the reason, yes, right there, and it's too. 1543 01:29:14.039 --> 01:29:16.600 Easy to just pick that weapon up and hold it 1544 01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:18.359 to their head. So we want to make sure that 1545 01:29:18.399 --> 01:29:22.720 they're safely stored stored as well as medications. Sometimes people 1546 01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:26.039 forget about that we want to store medications safely or 1547 01:29:26.079 --> 01:29:28.000 if they're not being used, to get rid of them 1548 01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:30.640 because again, it would be too easy to pick up 1549 01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:32.640 a bottle of pills and take it in a time 1550 01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:33.399 of crisis. 1551 01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:35.880 Okay, time of crisis, now, that's what we need to 1552 01:29:35.880 --> 01:29:38.520 know about. What are the warning signs of suicide because 1553 01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:40.279 you know, we might not be thinking that we need 1554 01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:42.640 to lock up the meds or lock up the firearm, 1555 01:29:43.159 --> 01:29:45.199 but what are we looking for in terms of signs. 1556 01:29:45.520 --> 01:29:48.159 So you really want to be noticing when somebody starts 1557 01:29:48.239 --> 01:29:52.800 focusing on death, dying, suicide. They might be writing letters. 1558 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.520 They might be I see this in Teivager. 1559 01:29:55.079 --> 01:29:56.720 Giving their personal property. 1560 01:29:56.399 --> 01:30:00.039 Giving things away, sending long text about how they're not 1561 01:30:00.159 --> 01:30:03.960 going to be there. This is an interesting one holding 1562 01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:07.640 unloaded gun to their head, because what you have to 1563 01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:12.880 know is sometimes people participate in what's called habituation, and 1564 01:30:13.039 --> 01:30:19.159 habituation is practicing for the event. So they will sometimes 1565 01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:22.199 like the Golden Gate Bridge people, they have them on 1566 01:30:22.319 --> 01:30:23.920 video where they will walk to the edge of the 1567 01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:26.760 bridge kind of look over and then walk away, and 1568 01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:29.039 then come back a little bit later, and now they've 1569 01:30:29.399 --> 01:30:32.800 looking up over, pushing themselves up over the edge. Then 1570 01:30:32.840 --> 01:30:35.840 may walk away again, but then the next time, now 1571 01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:38.479 they've got their leg up over the bridge and ready 1572 01:30:38.520 --> 01:30:41.399 to jump. So it's getting used to the thought of 1573 01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:44.239 actually ending your life. So when even when you hear 1574 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:46.279 somebody say, oh, well, I really wasn't going to do it, 1575 01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:49.359 but they had that gun to their head. First of all, 1576 01:30:49.399 --> 01:30:54.520 we know many people die with supposed unloaded guns. But secondly, 1577 01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:57.359 they could be practicing habituation, all. 1578 01:30:57.279 --> 01:31:00.159 Right, So what what do you do or say to 1579 01:31:00.279 --> 01:31:03.239 a veteran if they say they actually are having thoughts 1580 01:31:03.279 --> 01:31:06.000 of suicide, suicidal ideation and they just outright want to 1581 01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:07.520 kill themselves, right, So. 1582 01:31:07.800 --> 01:31:09.720 The first thing you want to do is not become 1583 01:31:09.880 --> 01:31:13.239 so alarmed that you scare the person, like, oh my gosh, 1584 01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:15.880 let's call somebody right now, we're gonna you know, we 1585 01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:18.079 got to cut the police out here. What you want 1586 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:22.720 to do is offer support and assistance. So if it's safe, 1587 01:31:22.880 --> 01:31:25.560 you could offer, hey, how about you and I both 1588 01:31:25.600 --> 01:31:27.920 go to the er. Well, you can te to talk 1589 01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:31.640 to a licensed physician or clinician who can help you 1590 01:31:31.680 --> 01:31:35.000 with those suicidal thoughts. Or you might say, hey, how 1591 01:31:35.000 --> 01:31:38.399 about if I call the veteran's crisis line. I'll tell 1592 01:31:38.439 --> 01:31:41.479 them what's going on, and then the responder will talk 1593 01:31:41.520 --> 01:31:45.039 to the veteran and can help them that way, also 1594 01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:49.159 encouraging them to get treatment. You know, not everybody, I'd 1595 01:31:49.199 --> 01:31:51.920 like to dispel this myth, and that is not everyone 1596 01:31:51.960 --> 01:31:55.800 who has suicidal thoughts automatically gets admitted to the hospital. 1597 01:31:56.520 --> 01:31:59.680 Sometimes we can start them on medication, or we can 1598 01:31:59.720 --> 01:32:03.039 get the into therapy and they'll be okay, and we'll. 1599 01:32:02.760 --> 01:32:03.399 Work with them. 1600 01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:06.640 Now sometimes it's even more severe where they really can't 1601 01:32:07.039 --> 01:32:09.359 keep themselves safe and so we might have to have 1602 01:32:09.439 --> 01:32:12.520 them admitted. But there's several options that are available. 1603 01:32:12.640 --> 01:32:14.760 Well, I would think, and you know you're the expert, 1604 01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:17.560 but I would think if someone actually tells you out 1605 01:32:17.600 --> 01:32:20.119 loud that they're having these thoughts, that might be a 1606 01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:23.960 cry for help. They are wanting to get that assistance. 1607 01:32:24.000 --> 01:32:26.319 They're saying it out loud. They're not trying to catch 1608 01:32:26.359 --> 01:32:28.640 somebody off guard, like, Okay, have fun at the movie 1609 01:32:28.680 --> 01:32:30.479 and they come back home and they have committed suicide 1610 01:32:30.479 --> 01:32:32.359 and they say it out loud, and maybe that they're 1611 01:32:32.359 --> 01:32:34.520 looking for your help and finding help, right. 1612 01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:38.159 And you know, sometimes people get caught up into well, 1613 01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:40.359 you know, do they mean it, do they not mean it? 1614 01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:43.239 Are they just saying this because they want attention? And 1615 01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:46.840 I always say, you don't have to make yourself the evaluator. 1616 01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:50.000 We just want you to get them to a place 1617 01:32:50.439 --> 01:32:54.079 someone who is a licensed that could help them and 1618 01:32:54.159 --> 01:32:56.960 figure out what really is going on. So calling the 1619 01:32:57.039 --> 01:32:59.399 Veterans Crisis Line, which you know is the nine to 1620 01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:00.359 eight eight press one. 1621 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:02.600 That's what I was just gonna ask you today. 1622 01:33:02.800 --> 01:33:06.039 Yeah, yeah, it's really excellent because you don't have to 1623 01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:08.560 make a decision. Is this serious, is this not serious? 1624 01:33:08.640 --> 01:33:11.640 Or maybe they're kind of vague, You're not really sure. Again, 1625 01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:14.479 you don't have to be the evaluator. Just get them 1626 01:33:14.720 --> 01:33:16.960 to someone who can talk to them, who will know. 1627 01:33:16.880 --> 01:33:20.079 What to do.

It's always great having you on 1665 01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:05.760 the program. 1666 01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:09.760 Thanks Brian, Good morning. It's great to be here once again. 1667 01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:12.199 Of course you're on because we need to vote for you, 1668 01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:14.920 but you're also wanting to help us understand why it's 1669 01:35:14.960 --> 01:35:18.560 a good thing maybe to engage in the early voting process, 1670 01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:22.079 something that Republicans are kind of behind the times on. 1671 01:35:22.399 --> 01:35:25.000 Democrats have always taken advantage of early voting and it's 1672 01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:29.199 worked to their advantage in a lot of races. You 1673 01:35:29.239 --> 01:35:31.039 can vote, vote early, get it out of the way. 1674 01:35:31.079 --> 01:35:33.520 That way on election day, maybe if you can't make 1675 01:35:33.560 --> 01:35:36.199 it you're sick, you still have voted already. Is that 1676 01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:36.880 your position? 1677 01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:42.640 Absolutely? And we keep getting beat And when I say we, 1678 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:48.960 the Conservatives or the independence that lean conservatives seem to 1679 01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:52.279 get beat by this early voting. So the Democrats has 1680 01:35:52.319 --> 01:35:56.840 an incredible machine. They're absolutely doing a fantastic job getting 1681 01:35:57.520 --> 01:36:02.359 the early voters out, busing them directly in person to 1682 01:36:02.680 --> 01:36:05.439 the Board of Elections to vote. And we need just 1683 01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:08.279 to do a better job the election. There's sometimes the 1684 01:36:08.319 --> 01:36:11.479 elections get so there's so much in the early votes 1685 01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:15.520 and so many ballots cast so early on that any 1686 01:36:15.640 --> 01:36:20.800 type of conservative leaning candidate is in such a deficit 1687 01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:22.520 it's so hard to make up on the day of 1688 01:36:22.560 --> 01:36:25.600 the election. So we want to encourage everyone get out 1689 01:36:25.600 --> 01:36:29.920 to vote. Vote early. It's safe, it's secure, it's legal, 1690 01:36:30.359 --> 01:36:33.560 and the last presidential election, sixty percent of all the 1691 01:36:33.640 --> 01:36:36.880 votes cast that were cast early, either by mail or 1692 01:36:36.920 --> 01:36:39.920 by going in person to the Board of Elections. So 1693 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.840 we want you to get out and vote. Vote early. 1694 01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:49.079 It's convenient. You know, obviously, life can be unpredictable, and 1695 01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:51.800 if you get your ballot in early, there's an entire 1696 01:36:51.880 --> 01:36:55.680 month that you can cast your votes, either in person 1697 01:36:55.760 --> 01:36:58.920 or by mail. I think mail is the easiest. I 1698 01:36:58.960 --> 01:37:01.439 would encourage everyone to do the mail because you can 1699 01:37:01.960 --> 01:37:05.439 do your research on your candidates, vote the entire ballot, 1700 01:37:06.319 --> 01:37:08.600 making sure and then putting it back in the mail 1701 01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:12.079 is perfectly fine and safe. If you are worried about 1702 01:37:12.119 --> 01:37:14.800 your ballot that you put in the mail, it can 1703 01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:18.960 always be tracked at the Board of Elections website. So 1704 01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:19.840 it's really great. 1705 01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:23.520 It is it's easy to and I would immediately it's 1706 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:26.800 interject while I can props for the Hemlin County Board 1707 01:37:26.840 --> 01:37:29.760 of Elections. I've gone there and voted early. I've been 1708 01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:32.720 there on days when there's a line. It moves quickly, 1709 01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:36.119 it's efficient, it's simple to do. I'm glad they put 1710 01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:37.680 it there as opposed to where it used to be 1711 01:37:37.680 --> 01:37:40.760 in downtown Cincinnati, because there's plenty of parking, it's easy 1712 01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:43.039 to get in and out of. There's really no downside 1713 01:37:43.039 --> 01:37:44.920 to going in and voting in the Board of Elections early. 1714 01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:48.319 You're absolutely right, it's real easy. 1715 01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:49.680 I think you know. 1716 01:37:49.840 --> 01:37:53.079 I know that my ninety year old mother voted the 1717 01:37:53.159 --> 01:37:56.199 last presidential election at the Board of Elections and waited 1718 01:37:56.239 --> 01:37:58.680 in line for a very very long time. So this 1719 01:37:58.800 --> 01:38:03.399 time we're encouraging to vote by mail. She's already submitted 1720 01:38:03.479 --> 01:38:09.000 her application to vote by mail. Anyone can request an application, 1721 01:38:09.399 --> 01:38:13.439 and just recently every registered voter in Ohio received an 1722 01:38:13.479 --> 01:38:17.239 absentee vote by mail application from our Secretary of State. 1723 01:38:17.800 --> 01:38:20.119 So it's not a scam. We want to make sure 1724 01:38:20.159 --> 01:38:22.880 that you know. Just fill that out, mail it back in, 1725 01:38:23.279 --> 01:38:26.720 and by October eighth, when early voting starts, you'll receive 1726 01:38:26.840 --> 01:38:29.279 your ballot in the mail. 1727 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:32.479 Well, it's simple to do. I got mine the other day, 1728 01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:34.800 and there was some confusion among the listening audience. I 1729 01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:38.680 had someone call in and say, I got a ballot 1730 01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:40.199 sent to me in the mail, and in fact it 1731 01:38:40.279 --> 01:38:46.359 was not about it actually was the application to absentee vote. 1732 01:38:46.399 --> 01:38:48.199 So yeah, don't be confused by that. I would also 1733 01:38:48.239 --> 01:38:51.079 pay attention to who's sending because what you'll get should 1734 01:38:51.119 --> 01:38:58.479 be from the Secretary of State's office, not some other entity. 1735 01:38:56.760 --> 01:39:01.239 Exactly, and you'll be every deep mine. It was very 1736 01:39:01.520 --> 01:39:03.960 easy to tell that this was and I thought was 1737 01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:07.600 a wonderful convenience fire Secretariat State to mail that to 1738 01:39:08.119 --> 01:39:12.079 registered voters. It's even easier because I had already gone 1739 01:39:12.119 --> 01:39:17.760 online to the Board of Elections myself and printed off 1740 01:39:17.880 --> 01:39:21.479 the application and mailed it in. And I realized I 1741 01:39:21.720 --> 01:39:23.520 even have to do that because it was sent to 1742 01:39:23.560 --> 01:39:25.760 me by the Secretary of State. So if you haven't 1743 01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:29.439 gotten that, I would go make sure you're registered. You 1744 01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:32.279 have to register prior to October seventh, and you do 1745 01:39:32.359 --> 01:39:35.199 that by going on the Board of Elections website. If 1746 01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:38.880 maybe you've moved to a different location within Hamilton County 1747 01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:42.039 or in whatever county that you are, make sure that 1748 01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:46.399 you check that. I think that's not a bad idea. 1749 01:39:46.840 --> 01:39:49.119 But what I really want to stress too is that 1750 01:39:49.159 --> 01:39:52.159 once you get your ballot, it's this election. At least 1751 01:39:52.159 --> 01:39:55.039 in Hamilton County, it's never been more important to fill 1752 01:39:55.079 --> 01:39:58.000 out the entire ballot. We have a number of judicial 1753 01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:00.600 candidates that are on the ballot. We want to make 1754 01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:04.760 sure that you're voting for candidates that's that support law 1755 01:40:04.800 --> 01:40:08.680 in order, that follow the law, and that will make 1756 01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:14.439 sure safety. Your safety is important when they make get 1757 01:40:14.960 --> 01:40:15.840 their decisions. 1758 01:40:16.199 --> 01:40:18.239 Yeah, and it's easy to do. The Hamilton County Republican 1759 01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:20.920 Party has taken care of that. They have identified those 1760 01:40:21.000 --> 01:40:23.439 judges who are tough on crime and who are great 1761 01:40:23.479 --> 01:40:26.439 about law and order and who actually will you know, 1762 01:40:27.199 --> 01:40:30.000 require bail for folks who are likely to flee the 1763 01:40:30.079 --> 01:40:33.960 jurisdiction or otherwise commit heinous crimes while they're out on bail. 1764 01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:35.880 We've runted a lot of problems with that, and you've 1765 01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:39.720 done a wonderful job on your Facebook page highlighting the 1766 01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:44.479 judges that do and do not have a set bail properly. 1767 01:40:45.760 --> 01:40:48.039 Thank you. We want to make sure that the information 1768 01:40:48.159 --> 01:40:50.960 is getting to the voters and that you know, a 1769 01:40:51.039 --> 01:40:54.399 lot of people don't get the news from inside the courthouse, 1770 01:40:54.439 --> 01:40:57.279 and so they inform their own opinion. We're just stating 1771 01:40:57.319 --> 01:41:00.399 the facts of, you know, this judge that set a 1772 01:41:00.439 --> 01:41:03.960 low bond or no and an o R bond, which 1773 01:41:04.000 --> 01:41:08.039 is no cash having to be posted on gun charges 1774 01:41:08.159 --> 01:41:11.319 or serious offenses where we're concerned about the safety of 1775 01:41:11.399 --> 01:41:14.359 the community. So we want to point that out. But 1776 01:41:14.399 --> 01:41:18.800 we also point out judges that set good bonds, you know, 1777 01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:23.119 and that we buil are good bonds on serious cases. 1778 01:41:23.199 --> 01:41:25.399 And you can make your own opinion based on that too. 1779 01:41:25.439 --> 01:41:27.960 You may agree or disagree that at least you've got 1780 01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:28.760 the information. 1781 01:41:29.239 --> 01:41:31.319 It's easy to find all those judges right there at 1782 01:41:31.319 --> 01:41:34.760 Hamilton County Republican Party dot org. Just click on candidates 1783 01:41:34.800 --> 01:41:36.720 and they take you from Donald Trump all the way 1784 01:41:36.720 --> 01:41:39.960 down to the Supreme Court judges, into the juvenile Court 1785 01:41:40.000 --> 01:41:43.399 judges and domestic relations Court judges, etc. They're all right there. 1786 01:41:43.439 --> 01:41:45.880 It's easy to do and take the time to do 1787 01:41:45.920 --> 01:41:49.159 that in advance, because so many people are caught off 1788 01:41:49.159 --> 01:41:50.840 guard when they get into the voting booth and it 1789 01:41:50.920 --> 01:41:53.159 kind of amazes me. But then again, me having a 1790 01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:57.039 connection with the judicial system to some degree give them. 1791 01:41:57.079 --> 01:42:00.359 My background I'm interested in the judicial race is but 1792 01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:03.680 if you walk in uninformed, that's a real puzzler when 1793 01:42:03.680 --> 01:42:06.079 it comes to election day because they're usually not identified 1794 01:42:06.119 --> 01:42:09.079 by party status, unless, of course they're on the pink 1795 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:13.319 slip or the blue slip. My understanding, go ahead. 1796 01:42:13.880 --> 01:42:15.960 I was just going to say, you're absolutely right. Just 1797 01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:19.119 one more thing on the early voting. What helps us 1798 01:42:19.520 --> 01:42:22.520 And some people think, well, why vote early, I'm just 1799 01:42:22.560 --> 01:42:24.560 going to do it on election day, and I can 1800 01:42:24.600 --> 01:42:27.800 tell you it does helpur. It'll help my campaign, It'll 1801 01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.960 help a number of campaigns because we're watching who and 1802 01:42:31.439 --> 01:42:34.319 the data coming in, what groups are voting, what's not. 1803 01:42:34.760 --> 01:42:37.319 And it actually helps save us money on the campaign 1804 01:42:37.359 --> 01:42:42.319 because we're tracing or tracking down voters or voter groups 1805 01:42:42.359 --> 01:42:45.960 that haven't already voted, and we want to get them 1806 01:42:46.000 --> 01:42:50.000 out to vote. So it does help the campaigns if 1807 01:42:50.000 --> 01:42:52.720 you vote early, and it saves us money because we 1808 01:42:52.760 --> 01:42:56.520 can identify who's participated or who we need to encourage 1809 01:42:56.520 --> 01:42:57.600 to get out there and vote. 1810 01:42:58.039 --> 01:43:00.680 Excellent, excellent point on that one. There's a lot of 1811 01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:02.840 behind the scenes things that go on in campaigns that 1812 01:43:02.840 --> 01:43:06.159 a lot of people aren't familiar with. Prosecutor powers. So 1813 01:43:06.199 --> 01:43:08.640 that's a I'm glad you put the exclamation point on that. 1814 01:43:09.279 --> 01:43:11.760 In terms of the juvenile justice system, I understand that 1815 01:43:11.800 --> 01:43:14.000 there's been some changes that you wanted to mention on 1816 01:43:14.039 --> 01:43:23.920 the program this morning. Is she there? Oh yeah, we 1817 01:43:24.000 --> 01:43:25.760 lost her. I'll tell you what. Well, it's about a 1818 01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:28.600 fifteen anyway, call her back up because we will have 1819 01:43:28.640 --> 01:43:30.600 another segment. I can get some information because I know 1820 01:43:30.760 --> 01:43:33.119 she wanted to talk about those changes, so we will 1821 01:43:33.159 --> 01:43:35.720 hopefully bring back Hamilton Kenny. Prosecute them a Lissa Powers. 1822 01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:38.439 Get on over to webpage. So if you would be pleased, 1823 01:43:38.439 --> 01:43:41.600 please be so kind as to donate, get a yard sign, 1824 01:43:42.079 --> 01:43:46.279 help her out.

It's Powers for Prosecutor dot com. You can 1828 01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:57.760 help her out like my mom did. My mom went 1829 01:43:57.800 --> 01:44:00.520 door to door for you the other day. Prosecute her powers. 1830 01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:02.279 Just let you know that she met you at the 1831 01:44:02.720 --> 01:44:05.000 event and she got a bunch of materials and just 1832 01:44:05.039 --> 01:44:07.840 started door knocking in her neighborhood. So there's one little 1833 01:44:07.840 --> 01:44:10.079 bit of effort on your behalf because she's impressed with 1834 01:44:10.159 --> 01:44:12.119 you and she knows how important law enforcement is. 1835 01:44:12.640 --> 01:44:17.560 But pivoting over, Oh that's wonderful. That's really great news. 1836 01:44:17.640 --> 01:44:18.520 Thank you so much. 1837 01:44:19.399 --> 01:44:21.479 Eighty four years young and doing the door knocking and 1838 01:44:21.520 --> 01:44:24.760 she's dedicated. So anyway, I wanted to ask you about 1839 01:44:24.760 --> 01:44:29.640 the changes to the juvenile justice system. I understand Governor 1840 01:44:29.680 --> 01:44:31.920 Dewan could it a task force and then came back 1841 01:44:31.960 --> 01:44:34.359 with some recommendations. So can you explain to my listeners 1842 01:44:34.359 --> 01:44:35.640 what those are and what that's all about. 1843 01:44:37.239 --> 01:44:39.479 So the task force was set up and I think 1844 01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:41.920 they worked for about nine minds and at the end 1845 01:44:42.439 --> 01:44:46.319 they made a twenty six different recommendations to the governor. 1846 01:44:46.680 --> 01:44:49.680 Now none of this is law yet. The governor then 1847 01:44:49.840 --> 01:44:53.840 is encouraging the state legislature to incorporate the changes into law. 1848 01:44:54.520 --> 01:44:57.039 So I think it's a wonderful thing that the task 1849 01:44:57.039 --> 01:45:00.800 force was set up. Obviously, there's different areas is in 1850 01:45:00.960 --> 01:45:05.640 juvenile law that needs improvement and so or things that 1851 01:45:05.680 --> 01:45:09.000 we can be doing better so that we are the 1852 01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:12.439 keeping the public safe. So we're wondering. I think they're 1853 01:45:12.479 --> 01:45:17.319 wonderful that he put that together. Now, until it's law, nothing, 1854 01:45:17.479 --> 01:45:21.520 nothing will take effect, and nothing will be happening. But 1855 01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:24.720 I agree with overall what the changes have been recommended, 1856 01:45:25.479 --> 01:45:30.159 such as the smaller secured facilities versus these larger ones. 1857 01:45:30.239 --> 01:45:32.520 There's only three in the state of Ohio. The Department 1858 01:45:32.560 --> 01:45:36.880 of These Services. They want to create more regional, small, smaller 1859 01:45:36.880 --> 01:45:41.479 locations of secured facilities. One would actually be in Hamilton County, 1860 01:45:41.720 --> 01:45:45.239 which I think is great. We used to have a 1861 01:45:45.399 --> 01:45:52.439 small facility and called Hillcrest where families could participate UH 1862 01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:56.399 in therapy and counseling and be part of the rehabilitation process. 1863 01:45:56.720 --> 01:46:00.439 So I think that it will be very effective. Hill 1864 01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:04.640 Crust should, in my opinions, still be opened and available. 1865 01:46:05.199 --> 01:46:06.960 It was the only one in the state that was 1866 01:46:07.000 --> 01:46:10.239 of that facility, so I think they're modeling it or 1867 01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:16.000 have some similar ideas about the smaller secure facilities. But 1868 01:46:16.159 --> 01:46:20.920 some of the recommendations have to do with weakening sentences 1869 01:46:21.000 --> 01:46:24.640 or dispositions for kids when they have guides being used 1870 01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:28.439 to commit crimes, and I'm strongly opposed to anything that 1871 01:46:28.479 --> 01:46:33.760 will put us in jeopardy in our public safety. I 1872 01:46:33.760 --> 01:46:38.439 think it's simple, it's common sense that absolutely there should 1873 01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:40.600 be no reason for a child to have a gun 1874 01:46:41.840 --> 01:46:44.359 or to use a gun to commit a crime. I 1875 01:46:44.399 --> 01:46:49.399 think the penalties, if they stay strong, can hopefully deter 1876 01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:54.000 future conduct or somebody even considering it. But if you 1877 01:46:54.079 --> 01:46:56.640 weaken that, I think that that could be at risk, 1878 01:46:56.680 --> 01:46:58.600 the deterrent could be at risk. 1879 01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:03.680 Dead on to me, getting in a juvenile I mean, 1880 01:47:03.680 --> 01:47:06.119 that's the most important time if a juveniles involved in 1881 01:47:06.119 --> 01:47:08.720 the criminal justice system. I mean, that's the perfect time 1882 01:47:08.760 --> 01:47:11.279 to get them out of it. And there's got to 1883 01:47:11.279 --> 01:47:14.680 be a better path than leniency. I mean, putting them 1884 01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:17.800 in programs, maybe they need drug counseling, whatever the case 1885 01:47:17.840 --> 01:47:21.279 may be, mental health assistants. But if they're showing criminal 1886 01:47:21.279 --> 01:47:22.880 behavior at a very young age, we've got a real 1887 01:47:22.920 --> 01:47:24.560 problem on our hands because it's only going to get 1888 01:47:24.600 --> 01:47:27.119 worse absent some really solid intervention. 1889 01:47:29.239 --> 01:47:32.079 You're absolutely right, and I think you know I have 1890 01:47:32.199 --> 01:47:35.640 experience as a prosecutor, practicing in juvenile court, as a 1891 01:47:35.680 --> 01:47:39.640 defense attorney, and then as a judge, and I think 1892 01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:43.319 that's the primary difference between my opponent and I in 1893 01:47:43.399 --> 01:47:47.560 this election. She is I don't believe she ever handled 1894 01:47:47.560 --> 01:47:51.199 a case in juvenile court, has no experience dealing with 1895 01:47:51.319 --> 01:47:56.560 juvenile crime, has no experience, you know, as a lawyer 1896 01:47:57.119 --> 01:48:00.520 with juvenile violence, and I don't know if someone like that, 1897 01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:03.800 if she was, you know, running the prosecutor's office, could 1898 01:48:03.880 --> 01:48:07.680 recognize the weaknesses and what it's being proposed and where 1899 01:48:07.760 --> 01:48:11.000 to make sure that fights for public safety. And as 1900 01:48:11.039 --> 01:48:13.840 you know, my opponent wasn't even licensed to practice law 1901 01:48:13.920 --> 01:48:17.239 last year. Yeah, so when we you know, there's a 1902 01:48:17.239 --> 01:48:19.119 big difference in the selection. 1903 01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:21.960 You know, and as you as we part company, and 1904 01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:24.880 as you mentioned that, as we part company, I can't 1905 01:48:24.920 --> 01:48:28.920 believe this is even remotely a close race. You are 1906 01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:32.840 so far superior in terms of your your background, your 1907 01:48:32.920 --> 01:48:35.840 knowledge on the subject matter, your experience on the job, 1908 01:48:35.960 --> 01:48:39.520 and your ideas for the future. So vote Hamilton County 1909 01:48:39.520 --> 01:48:41.720 Prosecuted Melissa Powers and do what my mom did, go 1910 01:48:41.760 --> 01:48:43.560 door to door and hand out some flyers and talk 1911 01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:46.880 to people.

I love his comments. 1956 01:51:10.039 --> 01:51:12.560 Look, as you know, in this business, every knock is 1957 01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:13.079 a boost. 1958 01:51:13.279 --> 01:51:17.399 Yes, yes, and he does not intend any of its criticism. 1959 01:51:17.439 --> 01:51:19.560 It's just levity. So we get the best we can 1960 01:51:19.640 --> 01:51:23.359 get from Chuck. Anyhow, of course I get the column early. 1961 01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:26.199 I'm a lucky man forgetting it early. Now the FEDS 1962 01:51:26.199 --> 01:51:29.520 are spying on Congress. I love this question. It's almost 1963 01:51:29.600 --> 01:51:33.720 like a college logic question or a college philosophy question. 1964 01:51:34.239 --> 01:51:39.479 Can government behavior be both lawful and unconstitutional at the 1965 01:51:39.520 --> 01:51:42.760 same time. It sounds like an impossibility, doesn't it. But 1966 01:51:42.800 --> 01:51:45.920 that's not the conclusion you've reached here, sadly, No. 1967 01:51:45.920 --> 01:51:49.760 No, So when when Congress validly enacts a law that 1968 01:51:49.920 --> 01:51:54.399 is unconstitutional on its face, that law is legal until 1969 01:51:54.600 --> 01:51:59.399 a court declares it unconstitutional. And when when the Feds 1970 01:51:59.439 --> 01:52:04.159 comply with that law, they are acting legally. But if 1971 01:52:04.159 --> 01:52:07.520 it is unconstitutional on its face, by which I mean 1972 01:52:08.119 --> 01:52:12.800 it directly defies a clause of the Constitution, it doesn't 1973 01:52:12.840 --> 01:52:17.439 take much analysis to see that. Like you can suppress 1974 01:52:17.479 --> 01:52:21.279 speech on the basis of content, or you can search 1975 01:52:21.359 --> 01:52:24.319 and seize without a search war an issue by a judge. 1976 01:52:24.319 --> 01:52:29.199 Something directly defining the Constitution. If it's unconstitutional on its face, 1977 01:52:29.640 --> 01:52:34.800 then the government's behavior is both legal and unconstitutional, and 1978 01:52:34.840 --> 01:52:39.319 it ought not engage in that behavior because the FEDS 1979 01:52:39.359 --> 01:52:41.640 who do the spying took the same oath as the 1980 01:52:41.680 --> 01:52:45.039 Congress that does the writing and the courts that do 1981 01:52:45.159 --> 01:52:49.119 the interpreting. But they do it anyway. And this is 1982 01:52:49.119 --> 01:52:51.640 a very sad Stuart I had not heard about until 1983 01:52:51.640 --> 01:52:55.960 it broke just right before Labor Day weekend that during 1984 01:52:56.000 --> 01:53:00.560 the Trump administration, the President was so aggravated, apparently at 1985 01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:04.680 what the January sixth Committee was doing, that he ordered 1986 01:53:04.720 --> 01:53:07.600 the DOJ to find a way to spy on two 1987 01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:12.239 members of the January sixth Committee, Congressman Adam Schiff, now 1988 01:53:12.279 --> 01:53:17.920 running for the Senate in California, Congressman Swallwell first name 1989 01:53:18.079 --> 01:53:23.920 escaping me, also from California, two liberal Democrats professed to 1990 01:53:24.640 --> 01:53:29.760 adversaries of Donald Trump members of the committee. The Fed's 1991 01:53:29.840 --> 01:53:32.680 got all of their emails and all their texts and 1992 01:53:32.720 --> 01:53:36.119 all their phone calls. They did the same with a 1993 01:53:36.399 --> 01:53:39.600 staff on the committee, some of them are ex FBI agents. 1994 01:53:40.039 --> 01:53:44.079 They even did this with the emails and texts of 1995 01:53:44.159 --> 01:53:47.800 a minor child of one of these ex FBI agent 1996 01:53:48.319 --> 01:53:54.399 staff members looking for something. They found nothing. They found nothing. 1997 01:53:54.479 --> 01:53:58.279 But how did they do this? What did they tell 1998 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:02.319 a federal judge gin in order to authorize this? Spine 1999 01:54:03.319 --> 01:54:07.079 of the Justice Department, which claims that stopped this under Biden, 2000 01:54:07.399 --> 01:54:11.279 won't reveal how its predecessors under Bill Barr did this. 2001 01:54:14.159 --> 01:54:19.199 Okay, under what argument can they prevent this information from 2002 01:54:19.239 --> 01:54:23.479 being disclosed? This is another illustration of the people to home. 2003 01:54:24.159 --> 01:54:27.359 Our representatives are supposed to report, did the reports are 2004 01:54:27.359 --> 01:54:29.439 our representatis? Of course, we live in a representative government, 2005 01:54:29.439 --> 01:54:31.319 regardless of Democrats to tell you all day long, we 2006 01:54:31.359 --> 01:54:34.239 live in a republic. Anyway, Those folks are supposed to 2007 01:54:34.239 --> 01:54:36.680 be providing oversight. Those folks are the ones that provide 2008 01:54:36.720 --> 01:54:39.920 funding for these organizations. Those folks might be able to 2009 01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:42.479 be in a position to say, hey, you work for me, 2010 01:54:42.680 --> 01:54:45.079 give me the damned documents. And yet time and time again, 2011 01:54:45.560 --> 01:54:48.560 anyone of the letted organizations says, no, I don't care 2012 01:54:48.560 --> 01:54:49.960 if the Foyer requests, I don't what. 2013 01:54:49.920 --> 01:54:52.680 The pros don't know under what pretexts? They are not 2014 01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:59.880 providing these documents because the committee doesn't exist anymore. These legal, 2015 01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:05.039 unconstitutional searches and seizures produced no evidence of criminality. Nobody 2016 01:55:05.119 --> 01:55:08.479 was charged with anything. It's almost inconceivable to me what 2017 01:55:08.520 --> 01:55:11.119 they could have told a federal judge. We don't like 2018 01:55:11.199 --> 01:55:15.119 what Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell are saying. Therefore, we 2019 01:55:15.159 --> 01:55:16.960 want to listen to their phone calls. They have to 2020 01:55:17.000 --> 01:55:20.720 show probable cause of crime in the phone calls or 2021 01:55:20.720 --> 01:55:24.439 in the emails. What could that probable cause have been? Whatever? 2022 01:55:24.479 --> 01:55:24.720 It is. 2023 01:55:24.840 --> 01:55:28.039 Merrick Garland, the current Attorney General, who takes credit and 2024 01:55:28.079 --> 01:55:32.520 I give him credit for shutting down this process which 2025 01:55:32.600 --> 01:55:36.479 was still going on when Biden became president. Trump was 2026 01:55:36.520 --> 01:55:41.319 no longer president, the committee no longer existed. Whatever. Nevertheless, 2027 01:55:41.840 --> 01:55:46.560 Attorney General Garland refuses to release what they told a 2028 01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:49.319 federal judge in order to get the search warrt. Makes 2029 01:55:49.359 --> 01:55:53.199 me believe there was no search warrant makes me believe 2030 01:55:53.239 --> 01:55:56.399 that they did this by hacking, which is of course 2031 01:55:56.720 --> 01:56:04.960 a felon LLNY. The Feds don't prosecute their own Monday. 2032 01:56:05.000 --> 01:56:09.600 This is Wednesday, Monday. Ten FBI agents and ten US 2033 01:56:09.640 --> 01:56:15.560 marshals stole a plane in the Dominican Republic and flew 2034 01:56:15.640 --> 01:56:21.119 to Miami. The plane belonged to the government of Venezuela. 2035 01:56:21.680 --> 01:56:24.880 The pretext for stealing the plane was, this is the 2036 01:56:24.920 --> 01:56:28.439 private this is the air force one for Nicholas Maduro, 2037 01:56:28.840 --> 01:56:33.079 who's the president of Venezuela. And he has the temerity 2038 01:56:33.199 --> 01:56:38.000 to violate American sanctions on Russia by allowing Venezuelan companies 2039 01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:40.439 to trade with Russia. He doesn't come in the United States. 2040 01:56:40.439 --> 01:56:43.920 It has an effect the United States. He was in Venezuela, 2041 01:56:44.000 --> 01:56:45.840 the plane was in the Dominican Republic. 2042 01:56:46.399 --> 01:56:47.359 The Feds stole it. 2043 01:56:47.680 --> 01:56:51.520 So the Feds don't care if they violate the very 2044 01:56:51.640 --> 01:56:55.600 same laws that they prosecute the rest of us for violating. 2045 01:56:56.520 --> 01:57:00.000 Well, going back to let's just pick a shift for exacts, 2046 01:57:00.239 --> 01:57:02.680 who had his emails rifled through, in his phone calls 2047 01:57:02.680 --> 01:57:06.039 and his text messages rifled through, probably without a warrant, 2048 01:57:06.039 --> 01:57:09.520 as you indicate, doesn't he then have standing if he 2049 01:57:09.560 --> 01:57:11.680 knows it happened. We're always looking for standing. We're away 2050 01:57:11.720 --> 01:57:14.479 looking for someone to say, haha, I can go into 2051 01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:18.359 court and prove a civil rights violation. Can't he do 2052 01:57:18.479 --> 01:57:20.800 that now? Or anybody else who had this happen to 2053 01:57:20.840 --> 01:57:22.319 them that we now know about. 2054 01:57:22.520 --> 01:57:25.279 The answer I think is yes, I say I think 2055 01:57:25.880 --> 01:57:31.840 he is not a suing one of the investigators, one 2056 01:57:31.880 --> 01:57:35.960 of the x FBI agents is suing. And in that 2057 01:57:36.239 --> 01:57:42.079 lawsuit came the names at Congressman Adam Schiff and Congressman 2058 01:57:42.199 --> 01:57:44.159 Eric Swalwell. I had never heard of any of this 2059 01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:48.239 until the lawsuit was filed, I believe last Friday, the 2060 01:57:48.279 --> 01:57:53.600 friday before the Labor Day weekend. I would think that 2061 01:57:53.760 --> 01:57:57.439 Swalwell and Shift who maybe don't want to make a 2062 01:57:57.439 --> 01:57:59.439 big deal out of this. Chef is running for the 2063 01:57:59.520 --> 01:58:02.760 Senate California. Swalwell is running for re election to his 2064 01:58:02.840 --> 01:58:06.680 House seat. Until after election day, but yes, they would 2065 01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:11.479 have standing because their harm was unique from all others. 2066 01:58:11.560 --> 01:58:15.039 This is not a complaint about mass surveillance. This is 2067 01:58:15.079 --> 01:58:19.800 a complaint about individually, unique, targeted surveillance. Well, you know, 2068 01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:22.640 the FEDS have the courts have done everything they can 2069 01:58:23.119 --> 01:58:28.079 to avoid ruling on whether this spying without search warrants 2070 01:58:28.159 --> 01:58:33.680 is lawful or unlawful. They know it's unconstitutional. They're afraid 2071 01:58:33.920 --> 01:58:37.399 of the intelligence community like anybody else. Justice Scalia, before 2072 01:58:37.439 --> 01:58:40.159 he died, said to me he was convinced the Court 2073 01:58:40.279 --> 01:58:43.399 was being surveilled by the NSA, The Court, the Supreme 2074 01:58:43.439 --> 01:58:46.600 Court of the United States under surveillance by the NSA, 2075 01:58:46.640 --> 01:58:48.720 which is in the Defense Department, which is in the 2076 01:58:48.800 --> 01:58:51.760 executive branch. You tell me that's not a violation of 2077 01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:53.119 the separation of powers. 2078 01:58:53.199 --> 01:58:56.199 Well, you know, as we're walking through this, and I 2079 01:58:56.239 --> 01:58:58.319 think you make a really good argument, which was my thought, 2080 01:58:58.399 --> 01:59:00.880 that you know, one of these folks actually has standing. 2081 01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:03.039 This could actually end up in front of a court 2082 01:59:03.199 --> 01:59:06.720 where they could actually rule that this is all unconstitutional 2083 01:59:06.800 --> 01:59:10.439 and must be stopped. They don't perhaps want it to stop. 2084 01:59:10.520 --> 01:59:13.159 They got some invested interest in allowing the NSA to 2085 01:59:13.239 --> 01:59:16.520 scoop through all of our private records and effects because 2086 01:59:16.560 --> 01:59:18.479 it benefits them from time to time that they're willing 2087 01:59:18.520 --> 01:59:20.840 to well have a violation of their own civil rights 2088 01:59:21.039 --> 01:59:23.800 and take a pass on it simply because they want 2089 01:59:23.800 --> 01:59:24.960 this conduct to continue. 2090 01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:29.640 That is not what we have a judiciary for. Know 2091 01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:33.760 that the whole purpose of an independent judiciary is to 2092 01:59:33.800 --> 01:59:38.119 be anti democratic, to preserve the life, liberty, and property 2093 01:59:38.239 --> 01:59:41.720 of those of us being persecuted by the government. In 2094 01:59:41.720 --> 01:59:45.239 this case, two members of Congress with whom I agree 2095 01:59:45.239 --> 01:59:48.399 on very very little. For the human beings, they have rights, 2096 01:59:48.600 --> 01:59:51.880 they happen to be in the legislative branch of the government, 2097 01:59:52.119 --> 01:59:55.920 the executive branch, can't do this without a warrant, And 2098 01:59:56.199 --> 01:59:59.239 we have the right to know what they told a 2099 01:59:59.399 --> 02:00:01.960 if there was a warrant, and be what they told 2100 02:00:02.039 --> 02:00:05.880 the signer of the warrant, the federal judge, in order 2101 02:00:05.920 --> 02:00:10.000 to induce her for him to sign it. Look, when 2102 02:00:10.039 --> 02:00:14.079 they raided Trump's house, he was no longer the president. 2103 02:00:14.479 --> 02:00:17.800 We still got the warrant, and we still got the 2104 02:00:17.840 --> 02:00:22.880 affidavit affidavits that were submitted to the federal magistrate judge 2105 02:00:23.119 --> 02:00:25.960 who signed the warrant. Why can't we get the warrant 2106 02:00:26.159 --> 02:00:29.359 and get the affidavits that were submitted to this judge 2107 02:00:29.720 --> 02:00:33.079 to invade the privacy of these two members of Congress. 2108 02:00:33.439 --> 02:00:34.920 That probably was no warrant. 2109 02:00:35.000 --> 02:00:36.359 I think I'm with you on that one. 2110 02:00:36.680 --> 02:00:41.520 That's Look when they raided Scott Ritter's house, one of 2111 02:00:41.520 --> 02:00:47.199 my regular guests, former marine, former head of the UN 2112 02:00:48.199 --> 02:00:51.279 Weapons Inspection Team, the one who went to Iraq in 2113 02:00:51.279 --> 02:00:54.439 Afghanistan and said there's no weapons of mass destruction. The 2114 02:00:54.439 --> 02:00:56.920 government didn't like what he said, but he demonstrated it. 2115 02:00:57.159 --> 02:01:00.600 When they raided his house. They brought with them huge 2116 02:01:00.680 --> 02:01:05.520 loose leaves, well forty FBI agents, including a swat team 2117 02:01:05.560 --> 02:01:09.359 and a bomb squad. We're looking for his mobile devices 2118 02:01:09.399 --> 02:01:12.399 and his desktops, and he told them where they were. 2119 02:01:13.199 --> 02:01:17.119 Two FBI agents were chatting with him, and they showed 2120 02:01:17.199 --> 02:01:21.560 him the printed copies of all of his emails and 2121 02:01:21.640 --> 02:01:26.680 text messages from the past two years, enormous loose leaves. 2122 02:01:26.960 --> 02:01:30.159 When he asked to see the search warrant that generated it, 2123 02:01:30.279 --> 02:01:33.239 they just smiled and changed the subject. They didn't have 2124 02:01:33.279 --> 02:01:34.079 a search warrant. 2125 02:01:35.680 --> 02:01:39.199 This is scary stuff. Scary and what more can one say? 2126 02:01:39.560 --> 02:01:43.640 Our constitution apparently just does not mean anything any longer, 2127 02:01:43.720 --> 02:01:44.319 at least in time. 2128 02:01:44.399 --> 02:01:46.359 I mean, this means a lot to Thomas Massey, that 2129 02:01:46.439 --> 02:01:48.760 means a lot to some of his colleagues on the left, 2130 02:01:49.000 --> 02:01:51.560 But for the vast majority of Congress it means little. 2131 02:01:51.720 --> 02:01:55.800 Maybe Congressman Swallwell and Schiff will look at this differently. 2132 02:01:56.039 --> 02:01:58.439 I don't know.
