Speaker 1: right here. Glad to be, glad to see Joshrecerory belongs
Speaker 1: in the Executi producer booth, and glad to see the
Speaker 1: Todd Zendsers joining the program in studio. Our own citizen Watchdog,
Speaker 1: the Inspector General of the City of Cincinnati. Not really
Speaker 1: his title, but that's kind of what he's acting like.
Speaker 1: He's looking into the Shenanigans. What's going on?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Got the latest episode of Citizen Watchdog podcasts. They strongly
Speaker 1: encourage you to check out what Todd has to say.
Speaker 1: He has definitely got an eagle eye. Uh. The well
Speaker 1: obviously dysfunction in the city of Cincinnati. Today we'll talk
Speaker 1: with Todd about gun violence in the city. Topic of
Speaker 1: conversation a lot this week, beginning with Christopher Smithman and
Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Favor earlier this week on Monday. Since
Speaker 1: a pension liability, Yeah, we've got one of those. Fortunately,
Speaker 1: we're not as bad off as Illinois. Man, what a
Speaker 1: train wreck Illinois as If you read anything about their
Speaker 1: pension problems. We'll alt's talk about mismanagement and a lack
Speaker 1: of accountability from city leaders maintenance of the city's fleet.
Speaker 1: They don't care about that. Connected communities or not, as
Speaker 1: the case may be here, you must do connected communities
Speaker 1: zoning unless you're hyde parking, which case we're not going
Speaker 1: to let you steer the direction of your own future.
Speaker 1: In terms of zoning, We're gonna tell you we're waving
Speaker 1: connected communities for a well connected developer to build a massive,
Speaker 1: monstrous hotel in spite of your objections to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that'll be on the ballot anyway. Green Cincinnati Plan
Speaker 1: also a big thing for our elected officials in the city,
Speaker 1: to the exclusion of other perhaps higher priorities for those
Speaker 1: that they represent the constituents, like safe communities for example.
Speaker 1: Get to that topic in just a minute. Aaron Weiner,
Speaker 1: a member of the Clifton Community Council, about the street
Speaker 1: takeover that happened in Clifton the other day. Really awful situation,
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids running amok. And actually there was
Speaker 1: one of those incidents that happened just the other day
Speaker 1: in Summit County. Five people shot ten run over during
Speaker 1: a mass gathering at an Ohio school parking lot having
Speaker 1: on Monday morning. It's in the Akron area. One hundred
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty people, mostly teens, mingling around
Speaker 1: a parking lot having a party outside the Mazing Community
Speaker 1: Learning Center, not permitted to be on the property for
Speaker 1: what they called impromptu get together, courting police three o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, going back to where are your children, Joe,
Speaker 1: When you were fourteen, would you mom and dad let
Speaker 1: you out till at three o'clock in the morning. Absolutely not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would have been my parents response, Why are you
Speaker 1: out of your mind?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: What could possibly be going on? That's good? At three
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. It's all captured on surveillance that
Speaker 1: a large crowd running taking cover. His shots were fired.
Speaker 1: Five people between the ages of fourteen and twenty shot
Speaker 1: and taken to the hospital stayed in the obvious Akronmayor
Speaker 1: Seamus Mallet quote, teenagers have no business being out partying
Speaker 1: at three am. We need parents in our community to
Speaker 1: work with us to ensure that children are home when
Speaker 1: they need to be. Boy, if only more people followed
Speaker 1: that simple advice. They also said ten people got run
Speaker 1: over or hit by cars trying to leave the party. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: the victims suffered non life threatening injuries and maybe a
Speaker 1: wake up called to the parents. Jeez, Louise. Anyway, street
Speaker 1: takeover going on here as well. Aaron will be talking
Speaker 1: about that. Aaron's also running for since City Council, the
Speaker 1: Charter Committee candidate he is, and the Charter Committee still around.
Speaker 1: Great alternative to the Democrats. Jay Ratliff I heard media
Speaker 1: aviation expert Jay Ratliffe at eight thirty got TSA making
Speaker 1: a major announcement about shoes. We won't have to take
Speaker 1: our shoes off anymore. Apparently British Airways passenger forced to
Speaker 1: endure a seven hour delay on the ground because of
Speaker 1: a mechanical situation. That is absolute torture. It's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why I really detest flying. Situations like that
Speaker 1: lightning strike triggering a fire, suppressing foam at Spirit Airlines
Speaker 1: hangar and a battery fire. A passenger had some sort
Speaker 1: of device and enforced adulta flight to make an emergency landing.
Speaker 1: Plus we always get an update on hub delays. Love
Speaker 1: hearing from you. If there's something you like to talk about,
Speaker 1: feel free to call five one three, seven, four, nine
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three, Talk
Speaker 1: Time five fifty on eight and t phones press conference yesterday. Yes,
Speaker 1: actually addressing crime here in the City of Cincinnati, City
Speaker 1: Manager share A Long said, the red bike and the
Speaker 1: Bird and Limes scooter device, remember we've banned They shut
Speaker 1: down the operation of those over the July fourth weekend
Speaker 1: because well, they were trying to use that as an
Speaker 1: experimental level to see if taking away transportation like red
Speaker 1: bikes and e scooters would reduce crime in the downtown area. Well,
Speaker 1: they said it proved to be a success and eliminating
Speaker 1: the type of incidents people have struggled with. As the
Speaker 1: words of City Manager share A Long, thank you to
Speaker 1: the inquires Quinlan Bentley for reporting. Long said, the restrictions
Speaker 1: are going to kick in again. That will be this Friday.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, today's a tenth man time flyes by
Speaker 1: will be tomorrow and twelve Saturday, eight pm until six am,
Speaker 1: and then the city will continue to assess the restrictions
Speaker 1: on a week by week basis. Again. They described the
Speaker 1: first restriction as a trial effort by city leaders to
Speaker 1: combat a recent rising crime across Cincinnati, particularly in the
Speaker 1: urban cores. They also created roving Task Force. Police Chief
Speaker 1: Fiji commented about that yesterday as well. At this meeting
Speaker 1: regarding crime, Long express concerns about these bikes and scooters
Speaker 1: being used to commit crimes and help purpse escape from
Speaker 1: the police. She said, they're being used to more efficiently
Speaker 1: commit property crimes, steal guns, and create quality of life issues.
Speaker 1: They themselves are not the issues, meaning the bikes and
Speaker 1: the scooters, nor are the vast majority of people who
Speaker 1: ride them safely, but they become a useful tool for
Speaker 1: a criminals intent on causing harm. Bikes, they say, we'll
Speaker 1: still be able to be rented during the daytime hours
Speaker 1: and at night as long as you're outside of the
Speaker 1: downtown and over the Rhine areas. If you leave the
Speaker 1: urban core with a bike during usable hours, you can
Speaker 1: return the bike to the dock, but you won't be
Speaker 1: able to take one out. As far as the East
Speaker 1: scooters are concerned, apparently they have an agreement with the city,
Speaker 1: these companies that run them restricting where those scooters can
Speaker 1: be ridden, as well as when they can be rented
Speaker 1: and how fast they go. So they're already restricted. Apparently
Speaker 1: from being running between eleven pm and six am all
Speaker 1: week long. So this is just a extension of that restriction.
Speaker 1: The question whether it'll do any good or not, huh.
Speaker 1: And you know, it kind of answered the question I
Speaker 1: had the other day. Police Chief Diji at this press
Speaker 1: conference talking about, you know, the task force and everything
Speaker 1: else they're trying to do to sort of put a
Speaker 1: stop to the growing crime problem we have in the
Speaker 1: in the downtown area, she said the task force recovered
Speaker 1: twelve firearms, two of which were stolen. From June eighth
Speaker 1: to July fifth. There were more than two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thefts from vehicles in the city between the eighth
Speaker 1: and the fifth, or of June eighth and the fifth,
Speaker 1: basically one month, two hundred and fifty fifth from vehicles
Speaker 1: in the city. Thirty four firearms taken during those thefts.
Speaker 1: And that may prove to be the answer to my
Speaker 1: question because I asked Joe the other day, when you
Speaker 1: were fourteen, did you have four or five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: laying around to go out and buy your own glock,
Speaker 1: assuming you could buy one at that age, even though
Speaker 1: you're not old enough to own one or buy one.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are places where they can find them.
Speaker 1: They might be able to find them because they're stolen
Speaker 1: out of vehicles. The said where the firearms come from
Speaker 1: to paint a broad brush socceeoeconomic reality of people who
Speaker 1: might run around or randomly, you know, engaging in gunplay
Speaker 1: downtown shooting in the crowds of people randomly. Don't know
Speaker 1: who they are, don't know where they come from, don't
Speaker 1: know how much money they make, but safe to say
Speaker 1: probably not a lot of additional disposable income. So my
Speaker 1: advice would be, don't leave your firearm in your vehicle.
Speaker 1: I think they probably have figured out where you stow them.
Speaker 1: Maybe under the seed, maybe it's in the glove box,
Speaker 1: maybe it's someplace else. But you know, there's only so
Speaker 1: many places you can stash a firearm in your car,
Speaker 1: And I figure, if they're going to break into a
Speaker 1: car anyway, they're probably going to do a pretty thorough
Speaker 1: job looking around for stuff that they want, like firearms.
Speaker 1: City manager Long said the stolen guns commonly use the
Speaker 1: commission of crimes. Every single weekend, guns are being stolen
Speaker 1: from cars every single weekend. Those guns are used to
Speaker 1: commit crimes to cause harm. So let's put an end
Speaker 1: to that. Something we can easily do. Don't leave your
Speaker 1: firearm in your car. I know that doesn't solve the
Speaker 1: problem for folks. I status of the law murky on
Speaker 1: that one. I was thinking of folks like going to dinner,
Speaker 1: they leave their firearm in their car. They go to dinner,
Speaker 1: they don't take it with them because they're going to
Speaker 1: be consuming alcohol. Presumably not enough alcohol to impair you
Speaker 1: so that you're driving under the influence of alcohol. But
Speaker 1: you obviously can't take your firearm into the bar restaurant
Speaker 1: when you're consuming, so you got to leave it someplace,
Speaker 1: perhaps locking it in the trunk. Maybe that's a better
Speaker 1: option for you. I don't know, but it's something you
Speaker 1: need to think about because property crime is going through
Speaker 1: the roof and downtown Cincinnati, and I don't think taking
Speaker 1: red bikes off the street during specific hours over the
Speaker 1: weekend is going to stop that from happening. Five fifteen
Speaker 1: fifty five krs The talk station five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three,
Speaker 1: Taco a ton five fifty on eight and T Funds
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. You've got something to talk about.
Speaker 1: Please feel free to call. I'll be right back after
Speaker 1: these brief words.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Must be summer time and the days are just flying by.
Speaker 1: A special thanks already made to listener lunch yesterday Wandering
Speaker 1: Monsters Brewery. I really enjoyed myself. Always do my submariner
Speaker 1: friend Cribbage Mike, I won again. That's four times in
Speaker 1: a row. I'm on a winning streak. Couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: His grandson gave me good luck but great seeing everybody,
Speaker 1: and a special extra special shout out to my friend Kevin.
Speaker 1: The barbecue master. Made me some pastrami and some bacon,
Speaker 1: and some pastrami bacon and other smoked meats. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was so good. We had Pastrami's ruben sandwiches for
Speaker 1: dinner last night. Just a little extra perk. And yes,
Speaker 1: some days it's really really good to be me. When
Speaker 1: Kevin shows up with barbecue, it's a good day. God
Speaker 1: bless you, Kevin. Anyhow, if I went three seven, four
Speaker 1: nine two three, talk pound five fifty on eight and
Speaker 1: t funds all. By the way, A Wandering Monsters makes
Speaker 1: a really great IPA. It has a terrible name though,
Speaker 1: guys over at Wandering come on, double Cheese Coney, I
Speaker 1: think was the name of it. I asked the owner
Speaker 1: the brewmasters, like, does it taste like chili? Because I
Speaker 1: don't want I mean, there's so many weird beers out
Speaker 1: there these days, it wouldn't shock me they have a
Speaker 1: beer out there that tastes like a Skyline three way
Speaker 1: or something. Nope, that's just the name of it. So
Speaker 1: you know, if you have to do some explaining before
Speaker 1: you drink a beer or selected based on the name,
Speaker 1: I think maybe it might be a good time to
Speaker 1: change it. But it was a double ipa and it
Speaker 1: was just outstanding, So really good beers a dull Wandering Monster,
Speaker 1: So cheers of them, and thanks for the great customer service.
Speaker 1: We really enjoyed ourselves, at least I did. Anyway, Just
Speaker 1: an out loud question, not going to run down the
Speaker 1: road necessarily, but does anybody find the whole Epstein file
Speaker 1: thing kind of kind of weird? Suspicious? I mean we
Speaker 1: were told previously that. I guess BONDI had the stack
Speaker 1: of information sitting on her desk and she tried to
Speaker 1: backpedal around that. The other day the client list was
Speaker 1: what was specifically asked of her. It's laying on my
Speaker 1: desk waiting for me to review it, and then comes
Speaker 1: out the other day say nothing else will be handed out.
Speaker 1: There isn't anything to see here. It's all child born
Speaker 1: and we're of course not going to release childborn. I
Speaker 1: get that, But there were so many victims and so
Speaker 1: many perpetrators. You know, it wasn't just Epstein having sex
Speaker 1: with underage girls. It was all those that surrounded him.
Speaker 1: And we've heard some of the names and some of
Speaker 1: the details of others. Aren't those prosecutable offenses? Was there
Speaker 1: nothing else there to be to be seen? And then
Speaker 1: the other component of this is and not to be
Speaker 1: critical of Donald Trump, And he got really, like me,
Speaker 1: think the lady doth protests too much, kind of irritated
Speaker 1: when he was asked about this by a reporter the
Speaker 1: other day. What are you still talking about that that
Speaker 1: was years ago? Well, you know, it's a rather controversial
Speaker 1: issue swirling around this guy. He rubbed shoulders with some
Speaker 1: of the most famous people on the earth, from Hollywood
Speaker 1: celebrities to the moguls and big corporations. He was busted
Speaker 1: himself for for for molesting children, and of course we
Speaker 1: understand they continue to do it based upon the evidence
Speaker 1: they found. He had multiple cameras in all of his buildings,
Speaker 1: and everyone suspected that was used for blackmail purposes. But
Speaker 1: I think Trump got a little over the over the
Speaker 1: line though with his response, but being angry to having
Speaker 1: that question asked of him. We've got so much going
Speaker 1: on in the world. I can't believe you're focusing on that. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a question of one's priorities. Reporters don't
Speaker 1: have to go with what the big, giant, you know,
Speaker 1: huge story is that particular day. And I thought this
Speaker 1: was I expose it's a rather prominent story for her
Speaker 1: to come out and say, no, nothing to see here,
Speaker 1: There is no list, that's it. It's over so and
Speaker 1: obviously it has cost all kinds of reaction, kind of
Speaker 1: a little more well angrier than I am about the
Speaker 1: whole thing. I just I scratched my head and puzzle
Speaker 1: over it more than get angry or just you know,
Speaker 1: assume that they're lying to me. It's easy come to
Speaker 1: that conclusion these days. Is it over the bones? We go,
Speaker 1: Let's do what Jay's guy, Jay, thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 1: Happy Friday Eve to you of my friend.
Speaker 5: Hey, Happy Friday, Brian.
Speaker 1: A nice job.
Speaker 5: Really well done you and Joe on that the interview
Speaker 5: you did with Dan Law with the attorney yesterday resuming
Speaker 5: the Cleveland Brown's gift of six hundred million dollars for
Speaker 5: taxpayers unclaimed funds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish you all the luck in the world
Speaker 1: of that one.
Speaker 5: Well, I think there might be a way that we
Speaker 5: can help the case. Back in April or May, I
Speaker 5: submitted a fraud waste and abuse hot I got under
Speaker 5: fraud waste and abuse hotline and reported a six hundred
Speaker 5: million dollars of taxpayer money was given to a private
Speaker 5: business and told him it was the Cleveland Browns, and
Speaker 5: they got back to me. I got a phone call
Speaker 5: because I think they're obligated to call you back, and
Speaker 5: they said, yeah, we talked about it at staff and
Speaker 5: decided that we're not going to pursue this. I said, well,
Speaker 5: who is we, what staff meeting and by what standard
Speaker 5: did you decide that this wasn't worthy of pursuing. They
Speaker 5: wouldn't give me any of those answers. I kept pressing,
Speaker 5: and they said, if you want to pursue this. You
Speaker 5: can hire an attorney because we are here to defend
Speaker 5: the Ohio state government. I said, no, your job is
Speaker 5: to protect Ohioans, Yeah, from fraud, waste, and abuse. Asked
Speaker 5: to talk to that person's supervisor.
Speaker 1: They got on the line.
Speaker 5: They read from the same card that said that if
Speaker 5: I wanted to pursue this, I could hire an attorney,
Speaker 5: but they are there to defend the Ohio government. I said, wrong,
Speaker 5: let me talk to your boss.
Speaker 2: Took three.
Speaker 5: Finally, the third person I talked to agreed with me.
Speaker 5: I said, it's not your job. The Ohio Attorney General's
Speaker 5: Office is the top law enforcement office, and your job
Speaker 5: is to protect Ohioans from government broad waste and abuse.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's correct, I said.
Speaker 5: You need to do some training in your office, and
Speaker 5: you need to explain to me why you're not going
Speaker 5: after this. Well, the legislation hasn't passed yet. I said,
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter if the legislation hasn't passed yet. If
Speaker 5: six hundred million dollars a tax payer money is going
Speaker 5: to a private business, you guys need to pursue this
Speaker 5: or tell me why, or tell me that it's constitutional. Anyways,
Speaker 5: here's my recommendation. I think we help our case by
Speaker 5: listeners light up that fraud waste and abuse hotline, so
Speaker 5: that perhaps the attorneys at dan Law can find that
Speaker 5: and say, look, it was right here that there was
Speaker 5: multiple cases reported, hundreds of cases of fraud, waste and
Speaker 5: abuse reported to the Attorney General's office, and you decided
Speaker 5: that you didn't want to pursue this and strengthened the case,
Speaker 5: and I wanted to get your opinion on it as
Speaker 5: an attorney.
Speaker 6: Would that or would that not help the case?
Speaker 1: H Honestly, I don't know that it necessarily would. Just
Speaker 1: because the phone's light up, given a campaign to light
Speaker 1: the phones up, it doesn't mean anything. I mean I
Speaker 1: can call and make a complaint. That doesn't mean it's
Speaker 1: legally justifiable or valid. Your points are well taken, but
Speaker 1: in terms of evidence, in their case, they're making a
Speaker 1: constitutional argument that this is a taking of private property
Speaker 1: for the purpose of giving it to a private individual,
Speaker 1: which is for strict which is unconstitutional. So that has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with I think independent calls for fraud
Speaker 1: wasting abuse into the hot while, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it hurts.
Speaker 5: And I was telling them that I didn't believe it
Speaker 5: was constitutional, and they did not tell me. They weren't
Speaker 5: able to come back and say no. But it's this section,
Speaker 5: article whatever on the Ohio Constitution allows us. They never
Speaker 5: came back, No.
Speaker 1: They couldn't. The Age told the wine to Vito the provision,
Speaker 1: arguing that it was bad policy, but they didn't do
Speaker 1: a breakdown, a legal breakdown of whether it was lawful
Speaker 1: or unlawful. And I think the silence on that specific
Speaker 1: legal analysis speaks volumes. I think it suggests very strongly
Speaker 1: that the Attorney General's office believed it is unlawful, unconstitutional
Speaker 1: taking a private property. So yeah, it's yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's easy, a delicate, you know, obviously a delegate position.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to go after his boss and
Speaker 1: file a lawsuit against his boss because of the unconstitutional
Speaker 1: nature of that six hundred million dollars. So he tried
Speaker 1: to get into veto. It didn't happen. So either he
Speaker 1: claims there's a conflict of interest and hands it off
Speaker 1: to somebody else to do it, or the Dan Law
Speaker 1: firm moves forward with its private action and ultimately I
Speaker 1: think will succeed. So I said it's a summary judgment
Speaker 1: issue because it's simply a question of law. There are
Speaker 1: no disputed facts going on here, nothing that discovery needs
Speaker 1: to reveal. There's the line in the budget that's where
Speaker 1: it says we're giving six hundred million dollars. That's where
Speaker 1: it shows where the money's coming from the Unclaimed Property fund.
Speaker 1: It's all right there, black and white. No facts at issue,
Speaker 1: just a simple question of law. Is it lawful to
Speaker 1: do that? Appreciate it? Jay, I have no problem with
Speaker 1: people lighting the phones up like that. It's five twenty eight.
Speaker 1: More local stories coming up of them. We got the
Speaker 1: stack is stupid.
Speaker 4: I'll be right back fifty five KRGV talk station.
Speaker 1: Five point thirty two and a very happy Thursday too,
Speaker 1: called Friday. Even if you prefer five three seven nine
Speaker 1: fifty eight two to three talk found fight for search
Speaker 1: party over that. Without that, we're going to go to
Speaker 1: the local story. If we go to Hamilton County Sheriff's
Speaker 1: Office announcement yesterday, standing there with a Wyoming police department

Speaker 1: when I asked her question about it. It's a Republican
Speaker 1: administration that is not providing any additional information. Don't you
Speaker 1: think that you hear from the Democrats on this that
Speaker 1: they'd be screaming bloody murder at the top of their
Speaker 1: heads about the Trump administration covering up uh uh information
Speaker 1: that the public should be seeing. Oh maybe not. Let's

Speaker 7: I don't know if there's anything to keep an eye
Speaker 7: on and get our popcorn out for. This just might
Speaker 7: just go away and hopefully they they're probably hoping nobody

Speaker 7: know if you heard about the we'll call them a
Speaker 7: gang up in Cole Raine yesterday walking traffic and uh,

Speaker 7: I was sitting in a restaurant and I can look out,
Speaker 7: I can see Coleraine Avenue, and I can see other
Speaker 7: parking lots, and a whole gang is walking through the
Speaker 7: just walking through the parking lots like I owned the
Speaker 7: freaking place walk and at one point part of the
Speaker 7: group walked out in to Coleraine avenue and stop traffic,
Speaker 7: and uh, it took one guy in a little green car.
Speaker 7: He he just nudged forward and kept nudging and then
Speaker 7: finally one of them moves out of the way, and uh,
Speaker 7: then they got back off the road and they were
Speaker 7: I mean, they're they're walking through DSE parking lots, blocking traffic,
Speaker 7: a bunch of foreigners acting like they owned the place,
Speaker 7: making a mess everywhere. And thank god, by the time
Speaker 7: I got done eating, they moved moved far off away.
Speaker 7: But these Canadian guinees are absolutely ridiculous. Up with them,
Speaker 7: set up with democrats that don't have a great game.
Speaker 1: Bro, I think he knew. I was gonna say, how
Speaker 1: the hell did you know they were foreigners? A nice

Speaker 1: Lawson was at a convenience store in Greenville, South Carolina. Lawson,
Speaker 1: according to the authorities, and the unnamed victim, were in
Speaker 1: a disagreement about who was next in line. That's when
Speaker 1: Lawson pulled out a nipen stab the unarmed victim in

Speaker 9: KARC the talk station.
Speaker 1: It is five point fifty I fifty bou krc DE
Speaker 1: talk station. Happy Thursday. I'm going to go to phones
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, nine fifty two three TAK Kevin,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 6: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I have something that Epstein probably does have a list.
Speaker 10: The government probably cannot release it because it will expose
Speaker 10: too many government officials. It's just like eyes wide shut. Yeah,
Speaker 10: you know, it's a secret society of the rich and powerful,
Speaker 10: and there is no way that they would be able
Speaker 10: to release it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's was my comment. Of course, you got it
Speaker 1: when I mentioned how come the Democrats aren't screaming because
Speaker 1: this is the Trump administration and they previously said they
Speaker 1: had this information. Now they're saying, no, it doesn't exist
Speaker 1: at all. That seems to be right for an attack
Speaker 1: by the Democrats, right, Oh my god. The Trump a
Speaker 1: minister said, it's Trump, he's in there. Let's see the documents. Nope, nothing.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I've been thinking this for a while, like maybe
Speaker 2: the Nicole Kitman Tom Cruise movie was not Maybe it
Speaker 2: wasn't fiction.
Speaker 1: That's possible. Oh that's hilarious, Kevin. And it allows me
Speaker 1: to it reminds me of a real life story along
Speaker 1: the same lines that the law firm I worked with
Speaker 1: in Chicago, about one hundred lawyers. One of the idiots
Speaker 1: in the law firm decided he was going to have
Speaker 1: an affair with the niece who was an intern niece
Speaker 1: of one of the senior partners, and so word got
Speaker 1: around about that, and oddly enough, this guy was not
Speaker 1: real good about hiding his passwords so he could get
Speaker 1: into his voicemail. You know, four digit passwords you log in,
Speaker 1: you get your voicemail messages, well, rather salacious exchanges between
Speaker 1: this young intern and this attorney, back and forth, back
Speaker 1: and forth. And as it turns out, I guess this
Speaker 1: came to everyone's attention to the partnership. He was terminated
Speaker 1: because of his stupidity to talk about Portia life choices.
Speaker 1: But then it also got out that a lot of
Speaker 1: lawyers were listening into these voicemail messages. And at one
Speaker 1: point it was suggested that people who were doing that
Speaker 1: heads were going to roll. Well that went nowhere. No
Speaker 1: one got their position lost or was fired for tapping
Speaker 1: into the voicemail Why because apparently every lawyer in the
Speaker 1: entire firm had his past code and was listening in
Speaker 1: to his voicemail messages. So there's only so much you
Speaker 1: can do. You don't want to shut the entire firm
Speaker 1: down in the name of enforcing the rules. Back to
Speaker 1: this dec of Stuvid, we've got Italian belly dancer of
Speaker 1: Egyptian descent arrested in her native country Egypt for using
Speaker 1: seductive techniques. That's in quotes. So Helia Terrek Hassani gag
Speaker 1: and naturalized Italian citizen born in Egypt does hold in
Speaker 1: an Egyptian citizenship, taken into police custody at the Cairo
Speaker 1: International Airport at the end of June, accused of corrupting
Speaker 1: public morals with her provocative dancing. She dances under the
Speaker 1: name Linda Martine. Case against her triggered by videos on
Speaker 1: her Instagram account in which she writhes around in revealing
Speaker 1: clothing and describes herself as quote more than you can
Speaker 1: handle close quote. According to the investigator, she appeared in
Speaker 1: quote indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of the body,
Speaker 1: and blatant violation of social values close quotes. Prosecutors and
Speaker 1: Kiro claimed that she, in their words, used seductive techniques
Speaker 1: and provocative dances to incite vice during arrest, found with
Speaker 1: what they described as a substantial amount of money. Italian
Speaker 1: embassy in Cairo seeking her release supposed to remainage oil
Speaker 1: for at least a couple more weeks. Reportedly moved back
Speaker 1: to Egypt several years ago, where she built a successful career,
Speaker 1: previously married to an Italian. It's pointed out in recent
Speaker 1: years Egypt is clamped down on activities that they deem
Speaker 1: morally questionable. Five belly dancers have been jailed under President
Speaker 1: Abdel f ALCSI on charges similar to those against this
Speaker 1: a gag woman. Can you imagine living in a world
Speaker 1: where the governing authorities are the determiners and moral arbiters
Speaker 1: of all things that you do? This is like Sharia law,
Speaker 1: isn't it? And I thought that was Isn't that the
Speaker 1: point of belly dancing? To writhe around and scantly clad
Speaker 1: clothes and you know, be seductive. I mean, that's like
Speaker 1: the It seems to me the very definition of belly
Speaker 1: dancing and what regional the world did belly dancing come from?
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Okay, Well it is a stack is stupid?
Speaker 1: What more can I say? Plenty to talk about in
Speaker 1: this six o'clock hour five one, three, seven, nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
Speaker 1: go time five fifty on eight and two funds, Plenty
Speaker 1: of subjects to go through. If you don't steer the
Speaker 1: direction of the conversation, I'll come up with something, But
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around. Big things are happening,
Speaker 1: breaking news happening. Now we'll tell you more at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour. Is too aggressive and over the
Speaker 1: top fifty five KRC. The talk station is your retirement
Speaker 1: PLUK talk station. Happy Friday Eve, Special day. We'll have
Speaker 1: Citizen Watchdog todds Ends are looking out for the interests
Speaker 1: of the citizens of the City of Cincinnati, the residents
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati. They're some of shenanigans going
Speaker 1: on with council and the mayor and prioritization. We got
Speaker 1: gun violence to talk about, pension liability issues to talk
Speaker 1: about as well as Tozzi Guna address mismanagement and lack
Speaker 1: of accountability from the city leaders among various topics, including
Speaker 1: the maintenance of the city fleet, the connected connected communities,
Speaker 1: zoning obligations or not as the case may be depending
Speaker 1: on where which neighborhood you live in, and the Green
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Plan, among other things. You should check out his podcast.
Speaker 1: Citizen Watchdog does a wonderful job. A brilliant man is
Speaker 1: Todd and I appreciate his willingness to come into the
Speaker 1: program and talk about this. He really does a great job.
Speaker 1: He's done his homework. Fast forward to eight oh five
Speaker 1: Aaron Weiner. Aaron is running for sinca City Council's a
Speaker 1: charter committee met candidate. Charter Committee still around I'm glad
Speaker 1: to see alternatives to the Democrats. We've got a couple
Speaker 1: of Republicans, and we have, of course Cory Bowman running
Speaker 1: for Mayor's a Republican. I take the Charter committee. We'll
Speaker 1: learn about what Aaron's all about in terms of what
Speaker 1: his vision for the future is. But also since he's
Speaker 1: a member of the Clifton Community Council, we will talk
Speaker 1: about the street takeover incident that happened there. And of
Speaker 1: course it's Thursday. I heard needy aviation expert Jay ratlif
Speaker 1: with some fun topics TSA saying we don't have to
Speaker 1: have our we don't have to take our shoes off anymore.
Speaker 1: That's nice. Are there no more shoe bombers anyway? British
Speaker 1: Area passenger forced to sit in an airplane for seven
Speaker 1: hours on the ground lightning strike, triggers of fires, suppression
Speaker 1: fom at Spirit Airlines hangar and a battery fire passenger
Speaker 1: head one of the lithium ion batteries, I guess, and
Speaker 1: it forced a Delta flight to make an emergency landing.
Speaker 1: Plus we'll get update on hub delays. I always enjoy
Speaker 1: hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three taco
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on AT and T funds and remember
Speaker 1: fifty five cars dot com when you can't listen live
Speaker 1: Jack Adveton, always brilliant. Judgemapolitano. Interesting legal subject matter with
Speaker 1: him kind of irked me a little bit, not with
Speaker 1: what the judge concluded, but it was a subject matter
Speaker 1: that I really wasn't very familiar with. Kidnapping people. Uh,
Speaker 1: Mark Dan the Dan Law Firm a lawsuit that he
Speaker 1: and uh has filed on behalf of some people who
Speaker 1: have an interest in the unclaimed property funds. He says
Speaker 1: the six hundred million dollars in the Ohio budget is
Speaker 1: unconstitutional because it comes from other people's money, and it
Speaker 1: is a long standing legal principle that the government can't
Speaker 1: take private funds or property as the case may be
Speaker 1: and give it to other private individuals, which is exact
Speaker 1: what's happened here. So I think Mark's got a really
Speaker 1: good case on the merits of the law, and of
Speaker 1: course it is really a legal issue, period, end of story.
Speaker 1: Sometimes there are factual questions that exist. No, he said,
Speaker 1: she said, kind of thing, and you got to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it through discovery, so you can
Speaker 1: then move forward with the with the case. In this
Speaker 1: particular matter, there is nothing in dispute there. It is
Speaker 1: is a line item in the budget six hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: They identify the funding source, which is private funds and
Speaker 1: the unclaim unclaim fund pile of money of four point
Speaker 1: eight billion dollars. So we know where it's coming from
Speaker 1: and we know it's going to the Cleveland Browns project.
Speaker 1: So there's your facts summary judgment. Here's what the law says.
Speaker 1: Grant me the relief I'm seeking. So listen to the discussion.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed talking with Mark about that. Americans for Prosperity
Speaker 1: on overriding Dewines vetos. It's all right there at fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC dot com. Do you see the other day
Speaker 1: Biden's doctor asserted his Fifth Amendment right to be free
Speaker 1: of self incrimination, Doctor Kevin O'Connor. Now he may recall
Speaker 1: the background on this, Doctor Kevin O'Connor issued a document
Speaker 1: and the document is actually issued by the Biden White House.
Speaker 1: This is four months before the debate performance that caused
Speaker 1: Biden to drop out of the campaign. Obviously, cognitive decline
Speaker 1: we all realized that over the years, but that was
Speaker 1: obviously the nail on the coffin. But doctor O'Connor wrote
Speaker 1: again four months prior to the debate, as requested by
Speaker 1: the patient, Joe Biden. The following is the summary of
Speaker 1: the current health status of President Joseph R. Biden. The
Speaker 1: President feels well and this year's physical identified no new concern.
Speaker 1: He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes
Speaker 1: all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations. I
Speaker 1: remember it's an important point to note the patient instructed
Speaker 1: the doctor to let us know by virtue of this
Speaker 1: report what his health status was. Okay, no, I understand, Doc.
Speaker 1: You have the patient to physician patient privilege, and you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to go out into the world and tell
Speaker 1: the world what my health conditions are all about. But
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to wave that, So please issue the report
Speaker 1: to the world tell the world about it. In his report,
Speaker 1: he covered himself. He said, as in previous years, I've
Speaker 1: conducted a comprehensive review of the President Biden's medical history
Speaker 1: performed a detailed physical examination. This physical has again included
Speaker 1: specialty consultation with several of our presidential specialty consultants from
Speaker 1: Walter Ee National Military Medical Center. Specialties included optometry, dentistry, orthopedics,
Speaker 1: both ankle and spine, physical therapy, neurology, sleep medicine, cardiology, radiology, dermatology.
Speaker 1: Each of these specialists have independently reviewed the chart, examined
Speaker 1: the president, and concur with my findings and recommendations. How
Speaker 1: about that boy, there's a big room full of doctors
Speaker 1: on that one, wasn't there? Instead, have also solicited my
Speaker 1: feedback from my respected colleagues, the other physicians in the
Speaker 1: White House Medical Unit who see the patient every day.
Speaker 1: Each of these doctors has reviewed my report for accuracy.
Speaker 1: My conclusions have been further informed through discussions with several
Speaker 1: of my fellow professors from George Washington University School of
Speaker 1: Medicine and Health Sciences. Wow, who didn't he talk to
Speaker 1: and get confirmation? Doesn't it seem odd? Do you think
Speaker 1: your physician would go out into the world and solicit
Speaker 1: second opinions on his conclusions or her conclusions about your
Speaker 1: medical health? Generally speaking, after a physical an, he concluded
Speaker 1: that President Biden is healthy, active, robust, eighty one year
Speaker 1: old man who remains fit to successfully execute the duties
Speaker 1: of presidency to include those as chief executive, head of State,
Speaker 1: and commander in chief. Wow, okay, he is in great shape.
Speaker 1: Do you realize that this doctor's report was three weeks
Speaker 1: after after the special counsel of the Biden Justice Department
Speaker 1: assessed that Biden was too forgetful to prosecute. This came
Speaker 1: after that. Yes, we have all the elements of the
Speaker 1: crime right here. President Biden violated the law, but it's
Speaker 1: pointless for us to drag him through the legal process
Speaker 1: because the jury would look at him and feel sorry
Speaker 1: for him because he can't answer any damn questions because
Speaker 1: his memories failed. Three weeks later, this report on clean
Speaker 1: health comes out, so t UPD. Behind the door an
Speaker 1: interview with the doctor Kevin O'Connor, closed door interview with
Speaker 1: the White House Oversight Committee, who's looking into the cognitive
Speaker 1: decline of Joe Biden and trying to figure out who
Speaker 1: was actually the puppet master behind the strings because Biden
Speaker 1: wasn't firing on all cylinders? Who worked the auto pen?
Speaker 1: Did Joe Biden give specific authorization for all those executive
Speaker 1: orders to be signed? Was he even aware of them?
Speaker 1: That's what they're investigating doctor o'conna a critical element of that.
Speaker 1: But he asserted his Fifth Amendment to multiple questions about
Speaker 1: his time with Joe Biden, which this hour long, hours
Speaker 1: long deposition was supposed to go a lot longer than
Speaker 1: it did. So obviously, when he's asserting his Fifth Amendment rights,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get anywhere, and so you ended early.
Speaker 1: Here's what was said about that, James Comer. I'm going
Speaker 1: to read the first two questions that were asked. Were
Speaker 1: you ever told to lie about the president's health? Let
Speaker 1: me read that again. Were you ever told to lie
Speaker 1: about the president's health? Doctor? And he asserted his Fifth
Speaker 1: Amendment right on that one. Now, as doctors later said that,
Speaker 1: we want to emphasize that asserting the Fifth Amendment privilege
Speaker 1: does not imply the doctor O'Connor has committed any crime.
Speaker 1: A fact to the contrary, as our Supreme Court has
Speaker 1: emphasized one of the Fifth Amendments basic functions to protect
Speaker 1: innocent men who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances,
Speaker 1: and they also asserted the doctor patient privilege. This committee's
Speaker 1: indicated the doctor O'Connor and his attorney said and does
Speaker 1: not intend to honor one of the most well known
Speaker 1: privileges in our law, the physician patient privilege. The committee
Speaker 1: is indicated that it will demand the doctor acc reveal,
Speaker 1: without any limitations, confidential information regarding his medical examination, treatment,
Speaker 1: and care. President Biden, that's the attorney's statement on behalf
Speaker 1: of the doctor. Try to justify the assertion of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment. All right, But remember now Biden waived his
Speaker 1: fifth or his attorney client as attorney or his physician
Speaker 1: client patient. Rather get it out, Thomas waived his physician
Speaker 1: payment patient rights to privacy when he told the doctor
Speaker 1: to release the statement about his medical status. So I
Speaker 1: would argue counter that. But more fundamentally, were you ever
Speaker 1: told to about the president's health? That is not a
Speaker 1: statement that relates to the president's health and simply a
Speaker 1: question whether someone told him to lie about it? Huh.
Speaker 1: So if you leave that question just floating right there,
Speaker 1: does that justify a Fifth Amendment assertion based on the
Speaker 1: physician client or physician patient privilege? I would say, hell no,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It's a simple question, did anybody tell you
Speaker 1: to lie? Doctor? It's a yessweror no question, of course,
Speaker 1: if the answer is yes, the follow up questions, well,
Speaker 1: who told you to lie? And you might give in
Speaker 1: more subtle nuances, For example, the second question he asserted
Speaker 1: the fifth on did you ever believe President Biden was
Speaker 1: unfit to execute his duty? Now that bears directly on
Speaker 1: Biden's health, But to that, I would go back to
Speaker 1: the point that Biden released the medical report, and it
Speaker 1: seems to me that the scope of the questions because
Speaker 1: he waived his physician patient privilege in releasing the report,
Speaker 1: it seems to me you wouldn't be limited by the
Speaker 1: nature of that report since it does deal with the
Speaker 1: president's overall health. Generally speaking, what test did you perform? Doctor?
Speaker 1: Look at all these people that you talk to about
Speaker 1: this report. Look at you put even put them in
Speaker 1: the report that you talked with, all these doctors, What
Speaker 1: did you talk about with them? And maybe the committee
Speaker 1: might want to well notice up a few depositions of
Speaker 1: all these other physicians that allegedly examine Biden or at
Speaker 1: least discussed Biden's condition with his physician. Red flags, Red Flags,

Speaker 6: false witness. And when you once you understand that, it
Speaker 6: makes it a lot easier because they're not going to
Speaker 6: go ahead and investigate their own people, period. They don't
Speaker 6: want to do that.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I mean that what stirs the
Speaker 1: pot of controversy. I mean, you know, let's say BONDI
Speaker 1: was actually dead on right, that there really was nothing
Speaker 1: there at all except some porn that Epstein downloaded. The
Speaker 1: build up to that statement, and that release was seemingly
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction based upon all the statements previously made,
Speaker 1: based upon the individual had been previously identified as being
Speaker 1: involved with Epstein and the young ladies that surrounded him.
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of hard information out there which
Speaker 1: suggests that well, since this kind of thing was going
Speaker 1: on over years, and he was so well connected with
Speaker 1: so many famous people. There's got to be something back there.
Speaker 1: But no, no, nothing here, nothing to see, no list,
Speaker 1: And of course that makes us think that hmm, Democrats
Speaker 1: aren't screaming and complaining about this, and Republicans aren't screaming
Speaker 1: and complaining about this. The only parton except for Trump,
Speaker 1: who was complaining about the fact that he got a
Speaker 1: question answer asked about it. I thought his reaction was
Speaker 1: a little kind of strange and crazy, which of course
Speaker 1: means that people are out there suggesting it. Well, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's in the mix on all these documents, and I
Speaker 1: know people want to draw that conclusion. They can, but
Speaker 1: we're left to make up our own conclusions because it
Speaker 1: looks so suspicious.
Speaker 6: Why would the Epstein gentleman meet with the CIA director
Speaker 6: five to six times?
Speaker 1: No, there's a question. Yeah, I wasn't even aware that
Speaker 1: that had happened.
Speaker 6: Oh yes. Also the sale that he was on in
Speaker 6: the Holy Facility in New York, he wasn't on the bottom.
Speaker 6: He was on the very topic. Just three tiered system.
Speaker 6: If you check Getway Gateway Pundit, he has a complete
Speaker 6: layout of everything where he was camera locations and everything.
Speaker 3: They lie.
Speaker 6: He wasn't on the bottom before he was on the third.
Speaker 6: If you check Gateway Pundit, it's got a complete layouts
Speaker 6: of everything.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I don't know that that has any bearing
Speaker 1: on the fact that they didn't check up on him.
Speaker 1: They weren't doing the suicide checks that they were supposed
Speaker 1: to do. The cameras were broken in the broken in
Speaker 1: the cell block that he was on. Uh, And I
Speaker 1: know that they properly address or at least seemed adequately
Speaker 1: addressed the missing one minute, I guess. Bondi pointed out that, well,
Speaker 1: if you look at any videotapes from any of those cameras,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. Every night. The tape goes on
Speaker 1: a loop. She said, it's old equipment, and at that
Speaker 1: point it just resets and starts over again. So that
Speaker 1: sounds like a justifiable account for the missing one minute.
Speaker 1: But it did remind me of the Watergate tapes. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: we'll probably never learn anything, Bobby. I think that's what
Speaker 1: comes down to left to our own swirling conspiracy conclusion
Speaker 1: six twenty five. Right now, local stories are phone calls.
Speaker 1: I'll take either before the phone calls, but we can
Speaker 1: go eat the direction. The first a word for Rhino Shield.
Speaker 1: I love that Rhino Shield product. It is so much
Speaker 1: better than paint. It's the ceramic coating guaranteed a transferable
Speaker 1: warranty on paint twenty five years. It will not flake,
Speaker 1: it will not fade, it will not ship. It's armor.
Speaker 1: It just covers up that and you know it reinforces
Speaker 1: your your the The exterior locks out moisture to flex
Speaker 1: UV rays, standing up to the very unpredictable weather in
Speaker 1: this in this region, ceramic coating goes beyond paint. It's
Speaker 1: a flexible, long lasting barrier that won't crack under pressure.
Speaker 1: Get that wonderful warranty to back it up so they
Speaker 1: can deal with your bubbling pain problems, flaking problems. No
Speaker 1: longer all worry, no longer worry about fading. And I
Speaker 1: like it so much. I got it for my daughter
Speaker 1: and our fiance. The bar has been painted with Rhino Shield.
Speaker 1: It went from disgusting, flaky, ugly yellow mustard kind of color.
Speaker 1: Don't know why the prior owners chose it, but whatever,
Speaker 1: maybe it was on sale. Now it's just beautiful mix.
Speaker 1: It mixes in with the landscape. It's such a moss
Speaker 1: screen kind of thing. But it looks fantastic. And that
Speaker 1: is one thing they are never gonna have to worry
Speaker 1: about anymore. Is the xterior paint on that barn so

Speaker 11: I do believe there has to be a new Israeli
Speaker 11: doctor at the end of all of this, that anybody
Speaker 11: that fires a single rocket into Israel, their new policy
Speaker 11: will be to obliterate them immediately. They have shown too
Speaker 11: much concern. I don't think that can be their policy
Speaker 11: any longer. They have got to immediately respond and respond
Speaker 11: overwhelming with devastating forces, or this pattern will just continue
Speaker 11: to play out. But for those that didn't see the
Speaker 11: wisdom and taking out the number one state sponsor of
Speaker 11: terror's nuclear facilities, the entire world, not just the region,
Speaker 11: would be at risk, including the United States because their
Speaker 11: missile capability keeps getting stronger and stronger. Check out the
Speaker 11: Sean Hannity radio show later today right here. Hey Sean

Speaker 9: to traffic. Here is a little slow. We also have
Speaker 9: a stall on seventy five northbound at I two seventy five.
Speaker 9: It's on the shoulder, but it is the left side,
Speaker 9: so maybe a little slow. I'm Heather Pasco on fifty
Speaker 9: five KRC. The talk station.
Speaker 1: Six thirty one and fifty five PRCD talks day soon
Speaker 1: as I watch Dog Todds insert during the seven o'clock
Speaker 1: hour in studio. Among the topics, conversation gun violence in
Speaker 1: the city takes over to local stories, although you can
Speaker 1: feel free to call if you'd rather local stories, including
Speaker 1: the meeting yesterday, city officials had a press conference about
Speaker 1: city wide crime. Among the speakers since they manager Cheryl Long,
Speaker 1: who'd announced that they are extending the red bike and
Speaker 1: e scooter restrictions during the nighttime hours tomorrow and Saturday,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to ride your red bikes
Speaker 1: or rent your red bikes your scooters starts at eight
Speaker 1: pm least until six am. This after the well the
Speaker 1: trial effort they did of the Independence Day weekend in
Speaker 1: an effort to combat the recent rise in crime, taking
Speaker 1: away transportation from some of the criminal element, although they
Speaker 1: note that most of the people who use these bikes
Speaker 1: and scooters don't commit crime. Well yeah, anyway, Long said,
Speaker 1: there are concerns about bikes and scooters being used to
Speaker 1: commit crimes to help perpetrators escape from police. She said yesterday,
Speaker 1: they are being used to more effectively commit property crimes,
Speaker 1: steal guns, and create quality of life issues. They themselves
Speaker 1: are not the issue meeting the scooters and the bikes,
Speaker 1: nor are the vast majority people who ride them safely,
Speaker 1: but they become useful tool for criminals intent on causing harms.
Speaker 1: So as far as Red bikes, you'll still be able
Speaker 1: to rent them during the daytime hours and at night
Speaker 1: as long as you're outside of the downtown and over
Speaker 1: the Rhine areas. So if you venture into the urban
Speaker 1: core with a bike during that time, you can return
Speaker 1: the bike to a dock, but you just won't be
Speaker 1: able to take one out. As far as East scooters, apparently,
Speaker 1: the city's agreement with the operators of the East scooters
Speaker 1: already allow them to restrict the time they're restricted five
Speaker 1: or seven days a week and can't be run in
Speaker 1: between eleven pm and six am. But this just adds
Speaker 1: to the limitation on using them extending the hours a
Speaker 1: little bit. I'll let you decide whether or not it works.
Speaker 1: They're going to continued to evaluate it. I guess on
Speaker 1: a week by week basis. Twenty five year old driver
Speaker 1: under arrest on charges that she led to state trooper
Speaker 1: or what was described as a very slow and short
Speaker 1: pursuit State Highway Patrol, said Camaiel Wiley. A Mason booked
Speaker 1: into the Warren County jail four am on Tuesday fleeing
Speaker 1: and eluding as well as obstruction of official business charges scheduled.
Speaker 1: I think Charity made her first court appearance anyway. Trooper
Speaker 1: was clocking cars on I seventy one near kings Mills
Speaker 1: Road courne at Sergeant Tyler s Ross, spokesperson for the
Speaker 1: OSP she came zipping along eighty eight and A sixty
Speaker 1: five in her twenty four Nissan Ultima twenty twenty miles
Speaker 1: over the posted limit. After an initial stop, they trooper
Speaker 1: moved the traffic stop off the highway over to a
Speaker 1: BP gas station near the I seventy one kings Mill
Speaker 1: Road in exchange. According to the Patrol release. During that
Speaker 1: traffic stop, Wiley approached the trooper and stated that she
Speaker 1: needed to use the restroom and was leaving. Trooper gave
Speaker 1: several verbal commands of warnings, telling her that she was
Speaker 1: not free to leave and that she would receive charges
Speaker 1: of fleeing and eluding if she left. She disregarded those
Speaker 1: commands fled the scene to her nearby residence. Once there,
Speaker 1: she continued to refuse verbal commands and to be detained.
Speaker 1: Attempt to walk away from the trooper into her residence,
Speaker 1: and that's when she continued to be non compliant. Was
Speaker 1: ultimately taken to custody. As far as the pursuit, the
Speaker 1: OJ Simpson like pursuit about one mile along kings Mill
Speaker 1: Road ending at Mason Grand Drive in Skyview Drive. In
Speaker 1: addition to being criminally charged, she was also charged for speeding.
Speaker 1: According to the Patrol, that incident remains under investigation. Let's
Speaker 1: see what Mike's gott Hey, Mike, thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday to you, Joe. You want to let Mike
Speaker 1: on Mike there, you are welcome to the program.
Speaker 12: I real quick about the scooter renolds and the bike rentals.
Speaker 12: Last I checked those all had GPS trackers and you
Speaker 12: have to have a credit card to use it, and probably.
Speaker 7: Yep, it's not like I mean they know who he
Speaker 7: uses them.
Speaker 1: I mean, well that is true. I guess under some circumstances.
Speaker 1: I guess you could steal one. Somebody else rents it
Speaker 1: and you grab it and ride away out right off
Speaker 1: on it. Just because it's been rented by one person
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that was the perpetrator that the police were
Speaker 1: after in fleeing the scene. I mean, there are there
Speaker 1: are layers of complication to it, but yeah, there is
Speaker 1: an evidentiary trail at least to some degree. Right there.
Speaker 12: They said they're stealing guns and sound like what is
Speaker 12: ride by somebody and grab the gun out of their hand.
Speaker 1: I mean no, I actually that relates to another story
Speaker 1: they talked about yesterday. Police Chiefdiji pointed out that the
Speaker 1: number of automobile break ins has increased dramatically. She sided
Speaker 1: like two hundred and fifty of them. So if you're
Speaker 1: on a red bike, you're zipping by a car, you
Speaker 1: smash the car window open, you take whatever properties in
Speaker 1: the car you want, you ride away. So I guess
Speaker 1: that happens from time to time. But her point was, Listen,
Speaker 1: we had two hundred and fifty car break ins, thirty
Speaker 1: four guns were stolen. That's what I was saying in
Speaker 1: the earlier hour. Listen, if you got a gun in
Speaker 1: your car, bring it indoors at night. Don't leave it
Speaker 1: in the car, because these punks obviously know that people
Speaker 1: store firearms in cars, and they probably do a pretty
Speaker 1: thorough check looking at all the nooks and crannies in
Speaker 1: places you might likely stow your firearm. So I remember
Speaker 1: the old campaign lock your junk in your trunk. That's
Speaker 1: an option I suppose, and I know there's other complicating
Speaker 1: factors which make taking the firearm out of the vehicle
Speaker 1: difficult in some circumstances. But in the final analysis, if
Speaker 1: it's in there and you're in a neighborhood that's prone
Speaker 1: to have break ins like that, your gun's going to
Speaker 1: get stolen and then they're going to use it for crime,
Speaker 1: which was Chief dgi's point. Six point thirty six. Come

Speaker 1: AT and T phones. Head over to the phones. We
Speaker 1: shall right now. Let's see what Corey's got this morning. Corey,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Morning Show. Good to hear from
Speaker 1: you today, sir, Hey.
Speaker 7: Good morning Bright. Just a thought on the guns get
Speaker 7: thrown out of cars? How about ending gun free zones.
Speaker 6: The reason people leave the.
Speaker 12: Guns in the cars anyway is because they can't take
Speaker 12: them into where they're going, where they.
Speaker 7: Big work or all or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned that earlier, Corey, and the complicating factor
Speaker 1: that I came up with is, Okay, you've got your
Speaker 1: firearm on you, and you're going getting ready to go
Speaker 1: into one of the downtown restaurants and you're going to
Speaker 1: be drinking. Now, you're not allowed to have a concealed
Speaker 1: carry weapon while drinking in the state of Ohio. So
Speaker 1: knowing you're going to be drinking, but of course not
Speaker 1: so much that you'll be ov I when you come out,
Speaker 1: you still can't do it. So you leave your gun
Speaker 1: in your car while you go into the restaurant. You
Speaker 1: come back only to find your car's been broken into
Speaker 1: and your firearm has been stolen. So that's the one circumstance. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. If a shop owner says no
Speaker 1: gun's allowed, I'd be inclined to just keep my concealed
Speaker 1: carry concealed and ignore that because I'd rather be able
Speaker 1: to protect myself and my life and my family's life
Speaker 1: by and violate that particular sign in the door. That's
Speaker 1: not me giving you legal advice. It's just my take
Speaker 1: on it. But it's.
Speaker 12: If you carry into a i've posted no gun zone,
Speaker 12: your call with it.
Speaker 7: You lose your right to carry in the state of forever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. I will sacrifice that right to save
Speaker 1: the life of my wife, my children, myself. If that's
Speaker 1: the price I got to pay, and I'm still alive
Speaker 1: or she is still alive, then I'll pay that price.
Speaker 1: I can always argue about it. I can claim it's unconstitutional,
Speaker 1: I can make arguments in court, get a lawyer, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Button the final analysis, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was my attitude when I lived in Chicago. I
Speaker 1: lived in oak Park, Illinois. That's where our first house was,
Speaker 1: and it was one of the first communities in the
Speaker 1: entire country. If I recall the history correctly, to ban
Speaker 1: the ownership of handguns period, end of story. I owned
Speaker 1: one when we moved there, kept it within my home,
Speaker 1: and my argument was because it's subjected you to a
Speaker 1: fine of like ten thousand dollars or whatever civil penalty.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the ramifications of it, but I always said,
Speaker 1: like I said, now, listen, if someone kicks the door
Speaker 1: in and is there to do a commit murder, grievous
Speaker 1: bodily harm, or anything like that that would justify the
Speaker 1: use of deadly force under any given circumstance, then I'll
Speaker 1: take what comes to me afterwards. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: give up my right to defend myself because I might
Speaker 1: suffer some consequence. I'm in the right by defending myself.
Speaker 1: I can make that argument we were going to die
Speaker 1: had I not engaged and used deadly force reasonable as
Speaker 1: standards applied to that. Yes, but you violated this ordinance
Speaker 1: in oak Park that says you're not allowed to own
Speaker 1: one of those. Fine. Okay, who do I write the

Speaker 1: If we're going to decent Friday, you've got Todd's ins
Speaker 1: are coming up for the next hour. He's going to
Speaker 1: be in studio talking about a whole bunch of issues
Speaker 1: that are are dealing with in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Fast forward to eight oh five. Aaron Wheeler with the
Speaker 1: Clifton Community Council also running for council as a charter right.
Speaker 1: So Aaron Wheeler is going to be talking about the
Speaker 1: street takeover incident, and we'll also get to learn about
Speaker 1: his campaign and what he has in store for his
Speaker 1: vision for the city of Cincinnati should he become elected
Speaker 1: to city Council. Jay Ratliffe, of course eight thirty with
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia eighty expert Jay Rattliff. I've got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of things to talk about with Jay, some a little
Speaker 1: bit comical and others more serious, like learning about why
Speaker 1: we don't have to take our shoes off anymore we
Speaker 1: get onto an airplane was just announced the other day.
Speaker 1: Here's part of the problem. Okay, you're convicted of a crime,
Speaker 1: you're in lock up. You're an illegal immigrant. You have
Speaker 1: an ICE detainer out for you. They're there to pick
Speaker 1: you up because you violated the immigration laws. You're subject
Speaker 1: to be deported because you're a criminal, a convicted criminal,
Speaker 1: and the sanctuary cities do what they let them out
Speaker 1: and do not alert ICE authorities that this guy is
Speaker 1: going to be let out even though he's got a
Speaker 1: detention filed against them. How many you know how many?
Speaker 1: As I stare at an article that they just arrested
Speaker 1: outside of a Saint Paul area, about a dozen illegal
Speaker 1: alien sexual predators. One guy convicted a second degree sexual
Speaker 1: ass sort of a child. One convicted second degree sexual
Speaker 1: ass sort of a child. Convicted is soliciting a minor,
Speaker 1: convicted the first degree sexual assault, convicted a ludelessivius act
Speaker 1: with children under the age of fourteen, convicted the first
Speaker 1: degree sexual abuse of a minor, third degree criminal sexual conduct,
Speaker 1: fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. A convicted first degree criminal
Speaker 1: sexual conduct. I'm just reading what these guys were convicted of,
Speaker 1: all in the country, illegally, all in lock up, and
Speaker 1: ICE had to go out and round them up. Twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand criminal illegals back into the population thanks to
Speaker 1: sanctuary city policies not alerting ICE when they know there's
Speaker 1: a detainer there. The worst California, along with Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: and Virginia, also responsible for releasing thousands of criminal illegal
Speaker 1: alien aliens back in the society, even though we could
Speaker 1: have evicted them and kicked them out of the country
Speaker 1: based upon their criminal status and their illegal status. And
Speaker 1: you know, it is a well documented fact. I suppose
Speaker 1: it's one thing to commit a property crime or to
Speaker 1: steal something from a store, but when it comes to
Speaker 1: molesting children, the recidivism rate is pretty damn high. I
Speaker 1: guess it's once you go down that road. It's trying
Speaker 1: to kick a heroin or fentanyl habit. You just don't
Speaker 1: do it. You keep falling back off the wagon. Quit
Speaker 1: touching children. Oh my god, I can't help myself. And
Speaker 1: that's I mean, there's a large chunk of these folks
Speaker 1: that fall into that category. I just mentioned the ones
Speaker 1: from from a Minnesota Tim Waltz. Anyway, this cis dot
Speaker 1: org report study total twenty two and eighty three criminal
Speaker 1: illegals released into the population since last October one, twenty
Speaker 1: over twenty five thousand released since calendar year twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: California responsible for when the thirteen thousand released. Illinois coming
Speaker 1: in at number two with almost three thousand, sixteen hundred
Speaker 1: released by Virginia, Massachusetts thirteen hundred, Connecticut eleven hundred plus.
Speaker 1: They also focus on particular jails, apparently some worse than other.
Speaker 1: The worst defender the Santa Clara County jail, where they
Speaker 1: were more than three thousand criminal illegal aliens were allowed
Speaker 1: to just walk out into the population no notice to ICE.
Speaker 1: Borders are Tom Holme and said, we're going to double
Speaker 1: down and triple down on sanctuary cities. Why not because
Speaker 1: they're a blue city or a blue state, Because we
Speaker 1: know that's where the problem is. They're releasing a public
Speaker 1: safety threats to the streets every day, he pointed out.
Speaker 1: And of course it's a widely shared public opinion that
Speaker 1: most most by a pretty damn significant majority, looking at
Speaker 1: all of the polling, most Americans, most people polled, want
Speaker 1: these people thrown out of the country. They want them
Speaker 1: locked up or otherwise removed. Why because they are a
Speaker 1: bunch of criminals, I mean, duh. Meanwhile, Democrats are, you know,
Speaker 1: pushing for federal and then in some states like Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: pushing for laws preventing ICE agents from wearing face mask
Speaker 1: and requiring them to show their name and their badge number.
Speaker 1: And if you think about that, you're like, well, these
Speaker 1: are government agents, these are people who should probably identify themselves.
Speaker 1: But you know what, when you are dealing with a
Speaker 1: mob of Antifa folks, all of whom have facial coverings
Speaker 1: head to toe, you can't see who they are, doesn't
Speaker 1: it seem illogical to prevent that from the same right
Speaker 1: being exercised by the officers. Why because they're doxing them.
Speaker 1: The reason they want the officers to have to expose
Speaker 1: their face and provide their name and their badge number
Speaker 1: is so these crazy folks out here who are hell
Speaker 1: bent for leather to go after Ice. Look, we've had
Speaker 1: people shooting at ICE officers. Coordinated activity he designed to
Speaker 1: harm a slash murder ice officers just happened the other
Speaker 1: day ten of a Morkan in concert. If you don't
Speaker 1: think that they're if they're going to commit an action
Speaker 1: like that outside of an ICE facility, you know, blow
Speaker 1: up fireworks, bring them out of their their their their building,
Speaker 1: and then mow them down with gunfire. If they're able
Speaker 1: to identify these officers, the officers families then become at risk.
Speaker 1: And that's been a threat threats against ICE officers and
Speaker 1: their families up seven hundred percent according by all the
Speaker 1: reporting out there, they're the ones in the crosshairs on this.
Speaker 1: And I suppose it's one thing to make an argument
Speaker 1: that you should be able to go after an ICE
Speaker 1: officer for doing his or her job, but the idea
Speaker 1: you're bringing family members into it. And who's pushing for
Speaker 1: this legislation the Democrats. The Democrats like the mayors in
Speaker 1: Chicago and Los Angeles, who are actively telling the power
Speaker 1: population to rise up against ICE. And I suppose one
Speaker 1: of the ways you rise up against ICE is you
Speaker 1: engage in this awful behavior behind the scenes by doxing
Speaker 1: them and going after them and threatening them and their
Speaker 1: family members and actually committing acts of violence against them
Speaker 1: and their family members, which has also happened. Six fifty
Speaker 1: six fifty five KRC the talk station Stick Around. We've
Speaker 1: got Todd Zinzer's Citizen Watchdog coming in the program next
Speaker 1: hour to talk about well shenanigans. Yeah, we'll just call
Speaker 1: it that. I'll be right back. Big things are happening.
Speaker 1: This justin will tell you more at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour.
Speaker 9: What they're doing is terrorizing immigrant families.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRS the Talk station.
Speaker 9: This report.
Speaker 1: Seven oh five here at fifty five Care CD talk station.
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Eve to you. Pardon me that came out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. I have a cough button, couldn't get to
Speaker 1: it in time. But I am looking across the table
Speaker 1: at a man that I truly appreciate it, man that
Speaker 1: thankfully has too much time in his retirement because he's
Speaker 1: got nothing better to do than be the Inspector General
Speaker 1: for the Generals Greater of the Cincinnati Residence, City of
Speaker 1: Sinna Residence. Welcome back to the fifty five Care Morning
Speaker 1: Karroose Morning Show, host of the Citizen Watchdog podcast, Get
Speaker 1: in Touch with It, Todd Zenzer, good to have you in. Man.
Speaker 8: Thanks Brian, good to be here.
Speaker 1: I'm glad it took the time to come in this studio.
Speaker 1: It's great having you in and talking with you about
Speaker 1: all these things that you follow. So let us start.
Speaker 1: We were touch talking about this. Let's stick with the
Speaker 1: topic of crime, gun violence. Generally speaking, they had a
Speaker 1: Cheryl Long City Manager sheet Chief Fiji was there yesterday.
Speaker 1: The mayor was there. He didn't have a whole lot
Speaker 1: to say, though from what I gathered from the reporting,
Speaker 1: you can fill in the details on that apparently red bikes.
Speaker 1: So we're going to take the red bikes away from
Speaker 1: folks tomorrow and Saturday overnight. They did that over the
Speaker 1: fourth of July or Independence Day weekend. Apparently it had
Speaker 1: some positive impact, or at least it suggested or they
Speaker 1: suggested it did.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize bikes and e scooters were really at
Speaker 1: the core of the crime wave going on in the
Speaker 1: city Cincinnati, But I suppose when you're trying to come
Speaker 1: up with solutions, every little bit counts.
Speaker 8: That's right, every little bit counts. But they they've got big,
Speaker 8: big problems.
Speaker 1: Well, they argue that violent crime and murders or gun
Speaker 1: crime specifically were down, at least that's what was reported.
Speaker 8: Well, it was what I took away from the news
Speaker 8: conference was that, yeah, things are getting better, but they
Speaker 8: have a perception problem that the public doesn't perceive that
Speaker 8: things are getting better. So they're really battling a bad
Speaker 8: perception rather than the bad data.
Speaker 1: Well, you believe if you live in any of the
Speaker 1: given neighborhoods in the city and you see it with
Speaker 1: your own eyes and we it is widely reported that
Speaker 1: one of the bigger problems we've got downtown are these
Speaker 1: roving gangs of teenagers, right, I mean the you know,
Speaker 1: it's like cockroaches in the middle of the night. They
Speaker 1: all gather as soon as you turn the light on,
Speaker 1: they scurry in multiple different directions. You can't get them.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, your friend Jim Kiefer raised a good, good
Speaker 8: point yesterday when I was speaking with them about this
Speaker 8: blue Ash issue where you had these hundreds of kids
Speaker 8: up there. How do they get there? And what's the
Speaker 8: signal how do they communicate with each other to everybody
Speaker 8: know to go to this one look.
Speaker 1: Well, then easy answer to that one. As we live
Speaker 1: in an internet society now. You know the old days,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get a whole bunch of people together,
Speaker 1: what did you print flyers up? You mailed things to people.
Speaker 1: I mean there was no one stop shop for your
Speaker 1: you know, your causes website like we've got now, hey,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna eat in blue Ash and you know,
Speaker 1: shoot fireworks of people just to be a nuisance. You know,
Speaker 1: you can have a house party in like five seconds
Speaker 1: now you put it online, house party had thrown the
Speaker 1: black address. The next thing, you know, four hundred people
Speaker 1: showed up.
Speaker 8: Well, the other thing that I noted in the press
Speaker 8: conference was Cheryl Long finally did start talking about this
Speaker 8: program that they started back in January called Act for Sincy.
Speaker 8: And the mayor was on Cincinnati edition last week and
Speaker 8: never said a word about Act for Sincy. And it
Speaker 8: was launched in January as a holistic approach to reducing
Speaker 8: gun violence, and they never said anything about it.
Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't make any sense, is that because of marketing,
Speaker 1: we need to have this new program because we have
Speaker 1: a problem with gun violence, which of course confirms what
Speaker 1: everybody out there in the real world suspects. Anyway, Well,
Speaker 1: the marketing thing here.
Speaker 8: You know, the terrible murder of mister Herringer. Oh yeah,
Speaker 8: and the response from his widow, she summed it up
Speaker 8: in three words. It's optics over outcomes, right, And a
Speaker 8: lot of the things that this city council and this
Speaker 8: mayor are doing are really for optics. And you can
Speaker 8: go through program after program, and they put a little
Speaker 8: bit of money in all of these programs, and then
Speaker 8: when somebody says, what are you doing about this, they say,
Speaker 8: we have a program for that. And even if they
Speaker 8: funded at like ten thousand or twenty five thousand, you know,
Speaker 8: I was at a meeting in bond Hill about connected
Speaker 8: communities with the Vice Mayor and Scottie Johnson, and it
Speaker 8: was about how we can improve connected communities if that's
Speaker 8: even possible. And somebody got up and said, well, what
Speaker 8: about property taxes? Our property taxes are too high and
Speaker 8: the Vice mayor said, well, we have a program for that.
Speaker 8: They have a Well, no, they don't have a program.
Speaker 8: Their program is to help people pay the Property Act
Speaker 8: property taxes that they owe in back taxes their debt.
Speaker 8: That's what they city has a program for.
Speaker 1: But not to address the broader problem of the property
Speaker 1: taxes going through the root exactly, and people who have
Speaker 1: to pay them or otherwise end up perhaps losing their property.
Speaker 1: They're on the hook for the money they paid it.
Speaker 1: So there's no relief for the folks with higher property
Speaker 1: tax bills. There's only relief for folks who didn't pay
Speaker 1: the property tax bills because they were too high.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's problem solved.
Speaker 8: But optics over outcomes is it really sums up this
Speaker 8: mayor in this city council.
Speaker 1: But you can't cover up the fact that week after
Speaker 1: week after week we have all this hoorific criminal activity
Speaker 1: that's going on. I mean, even as little as local
Speaker 1: reporting we have, we do hear about it, we do
Speaker 1: see it. So you can't hide behind the you can't
Speaker 1: hide the news from people. And then there's the other component.
Speaker 1: You talk to Ken favor of us since say FOP president,
Speaker 1: and can will tell you that they know, like for example,
Speaker 1: enforcing curfew. There is a curfew, Yes, but they don't
Speaker 1: bother e dealing with it because they catch the teenager
Speaker 1: who's violating curfew, they're not going to be dealt with
Speaker 1: by the judicial component of the criminal justice system. The
Speaker 1: judges will let them out. Happens all the time, so
Speaker 1: much show that it's not even worth issuing a citation.
Speaker 8: Well, there was a question. I couldn't hear it very well.
Speaker 8: But I think one of the reporters yesterday at the
Speaker 8: news conference was asking about twenty twenty Auburn, the juvenile
Speaker 8: center or detention center whatever they call it, and that
Speaker 8: the police were being turned away when they tried to
Speaker 8: bring people up to twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Yes, so they had a you know, they have a
Speaker 1: capacity to show that Ken Ken said that specifically, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have a capacity issue there, So what do they
Speaker 1: do about it? That's a good question. Maybe there isn't
Speaker 1: a program for that.
Speaker 8: They need a program for.
Speaker 1: That, another building, another place to take.
Speaker 8: I tell you this, five million dollars they want to
Speaker 8: spend on a day center for the homeless. That's controversial
Speaker 8: because there are existing programs that think they could handle,
Speaker 8: you know, the requirement or the need. But the city,
Speaker 8: for some other reason wants to spend five million on
Speaker 8: this building. Maybe they ought to turn the building into
Speaker 8: a detention center.
Speaker 1: Well, I like that idea. I mean, if there's not
Speaker 1: room enough to deal with the folks that are violating
Speaker 1: the law, then you need a place to put them.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't well, a question of prioritization.
Speaker 8: Right exactly, That's exactly right, Brian.
Speaker 1: And without enforcement, without the penalty component. Say this all
Speaker 1: the time the criminal justice system, the deterrence element is
Speaker 1: one of the key principles on it. If you do
Speaker 1: something in violation of the law, there will be consequences.
Speaker 1: That's a message is not only to punish the person
Speaker 1: who is domb enough to violate the law, but it's
Speaker 1: a message to every kid out there or everybody else
Speaker 1: out there, this is what's going to happen to you.
Speaker 1: And get rid of that, and it's like, well, wait
Speaker 1: a second, nothing's going to happen to me, so why
Speaker 1: bother obeying the law?
Speaker 8: That's right, this whole act for sincey, this holistic approach
Speaker 8: to reducing gun violence. They had a three million dollar
Speaker 8: budget and it went to all of these nonprofits. And
Speaker 8: that's what this is all about, external organizations. And there's
Speaker 8: no way to measure whether anything they're doing has any
Speaker 8: impact on reducing gun violence. But it's they give away
Speaker 8: all this money.
Speaker 1: Well and they can say something like we have a
Speaker 1: program for that and we have already addressed that and
Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, again, this is kind of like USAID.
Speaker 1: It's a local versus of the USA. The money goes
Speaker 1: out into the world and you know, at least on
Speaker 1: a federal level, tens of millions of dollars to fund
Speaker 1: various programs around the globe. We don't know if that
Speaker 1: work was even done. No one's following the money, No
Speaker 1: one knows where it goes. What the salaries are being
Speaker 1: paid within these nonprofit organizational structures, and they all get
Speaker 1: pretty handsome salaries. Just because you're non probably doesn't mean
Speaker 1: your CEO isn't making three hundred four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 8: Yet, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: So that's what's happening locally. Then, Oh, we're a non
Speaker 1: violence we have a holistic approach to getting kids off
Speaker 1: the streets and getting them to play hockey at night
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 8: And but when the mayor showed up on the radio
Speaker 8: program and started talking about all the things they're doing
Speaker 8: to reduce gun violence, he never said a single word
Speaker 8: about this act. For Cincy, they have a program where
Speaker 8: they're basically paying people not to commit crimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we can dive into a few more of
Speaker 1: the details for that. And again, why didn't he announce
Speaker 1: it out loud early on? If it's such a great
Speaker 1: thing for the city of Cincinnati, we'll bring Todd Zinzer back.
Speaker 1: We have him for the full hour here in the
Speaker 1: morning show, seven to fifteen. Right now, time for you
Speaker 1: to mention odo exit which will not get rid of
Speaker 1: the stench of politics, as I always like to joke,
Speaker 1: but it gets rid of all the other odors that
Speaker 1: everyone encounters at some point, sometimes more regularly than others.
Speaker 1: Pet owners, you know what I'm talking about. They have
Speaker 1: products to get rid of pet owners. Human owners got
Speaker 1: someone near you who stinks. Maybe you got a weed
Speaker 1: smoker in the basement of your house and you want
Speaker 1: to get rid of that smoke smell. Yes, it works
Speaker 1: on smoke of all types, so mold, mildew. You know
Speaker 1: the human owners, pet oders, food oders. Get a product
Speaker 1: that works. One percent satisfaction guaranteed. They've been locally owned
Speaker 1: and operated and manufactured here Oto exit products for twenty
Speaker 1: five years and I'm doing a great job for folks.

Speaker 9: see health dot com. Traffic is slow this morning, and
Speaker 9: I seventy five southbound between Ronald Reagan Highway and Paddock Road.
Speaker 9: You're slow seventy five northbound between Buttermilk Pike and Twelfth Street,
Speaker 9: and there's a stall seventy five northbound at two seventy
Speaker 9: five on the left shoulder. I'm Heather Pasco on fifty
Speaker 9: five krc the talk.
Speaker 1: Station seven nineteen fifty five KRCD Talk Station. Brian Tomouth
Speaker 1: with Citizen Watchdog Todd Zenzer get his podcasts and Watchdog
Speaker 1: and uh maybe become friends of them. On fay, he's
Speaker 1: always pointing posting things related to maybe corruption, fraud, ways
Speaker 1: to be used inaction, outright stupidity with regard to what
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati's doing dealing with its relative or
Speaker 1: various rather challenges. We were talking about this Act for
Speaker 1: Sincy program to are a blueprint for violence production that
Speaker 1: says on the cover of the materials achieving change together.
Speaker 1: This came out in January. You mentioned without any fanfare,
Speaker 1: without any formal notice, that here were implementing this program.
Speaker 1: But as you just got done explaining, it funds a
Speaker 1: bunch of non governmental organization outside groups who claim to
Speaker 1: have the solution on various levels for the problem with
Speaker 1: violence and the system or in er in the system.
Speaker 1: What type of if you know, if any, what type
Speaker 1: of vetting goes on before any given NGO accepts money
Speaker 1: from the city to achieve their purported goal. There's got
Speaker 1: to be some presentation to someone, Someone has to add
Speaker 1: them to the limitless list of NGOs out there with
Speaker 1: their hand hopefully in the cookie jar. So what process
Speaker 1: do they go through to find out whether these proposals
Speaker 1: are going to have any impact or effect and then
Speaker 1: get the award to the exclusion of other NGOs we
Speaker 1: already know. There's no follow up on whether the programs
Speaker 1: work after the money's awarded, but the lead upright, how
Speaker 1: do you get on the list of people with their
Speaker 1: hand in the cookie jar?
Speaker 8: Well, there's so many of these programs. I've counted so far,
Speaker 8: over two hundred NGOs getting money or nonprofits or NGOs
Speaker 8: getting money from the city, ranging from you know, fifteen
Speaker 8: hundred dollars to a quarter of a million dollars or
Speaker 8: actually I think the highest I know of is like
Speaker 8: three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. And there's there
Speaker 8: is a program or a process for what they call
Speaker 8: leverage support, which is what many of these organizations they
Speaker 8: make application for those moneies, and that's that's become an
Speaker 8: annual thing. And during budget season they all go down
Speaker 8: in a congo line and request money from the city
Speaker 8: council and not all of them get it. No, That's
Speaker 8: what's surprising is how many organizations apply for this money
Speaker 8: they don't get it.
Speaker 1: So see, that's I always wanted to emphasize that because
Speaker 1: again there's always a limitless number of people that want
Speaker 1: some money from government. Now, the question is how do
Speaker 1: you weed through. Let's say a thousand groups show up
Speaker 1: and there's only you know, one hundred different one hundred
Speaker 1: allocations that they have money for.
Speaker 8: High Who wins That's a good question. The city council.
Speaker 8: They pick winners and losers when it comes to that,
Speaker 8: and the city manager has an application process for at
Speaker 8: least leverage support and probably for all these others. And
Speaker 8: they tell they tell the organization what they're looking for,
Speaker 8: for example, reducing gun violence, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 8: all these NGOs that before now we're worried about climate
Speaker 8: change or whatever, are now worried about gun violence. And
Speaker 8: their proposals they just switch keywords in there about how
Speaker 8: their work is going to reduce gun violence. Even the
Speaker 8: Art Academy, for example, they showed up many at many
Speaker 8: meetings requesting money and they've been getting funding for years
Speaker 8: and years, but the city council is going to cut
Speaker 8: them back. And they made the case that their work
Speaker 8: at the Art Academy contributes to a reduction of violence.
Speaker 8: And they believe that, and all these groups that are
Speaker 8: working in this area think that if they do a
Speaker 8: good job, that violence will be reduced.
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose one could lean on the argument that, well,
Speaker 1: if the kid's here in an art class for two hours,
Speaker 1: then he can't be out committing crime. Air go it
Speaker 1: reduces crime. Yes, it's some kind of logic chain like that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to laugh. This is so sad and pathetic.
Speaker 1: This really doesn't call for laughter.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the normal person, or the regular or Cincinnatian will
Speaker 8: have trouble connecting dance lessons to reducing violence. That's just
Speaker 8: not Most people can't connect that in their own minds.
Speaker 1: No, but I think that's a logical and reasonable inability. Yes,
Speaker 1: the connection isn't there. So how could people possibly connect
Speaker 1: it unless they fall back on the argument that they
Speaker 1: just made well the kids in a dance lesson for
Speaker 1: a couple hours.
Speaker 8: Yeah. So, the way I looked at it, a lot
Speaker 8: of these programs that they're funding, it seems more like
Speaker 8: we're trying to help the community kind of thrive or
Speaker 8: to live despite all the violence. These types of programs
Speaker 8: help them, you know, survive through that.
Speaker 1: They fuel the economic engine of the city by putting
Speaker 1: dollars out there. Two organizations that maybe don't accomplish anything.
Speaker 1: At least the money's out there, and presumably those organizations
Speaker 1: will spend it on something, even if it's just going
Speaker 1: out to dinner at a restaurant.
Speaker 8: That's right, that's that's the government, that's the city government
Speaker 8: we have.
Speaker 1: I think we've put hit the nail on the head,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Todds ends are done, so it
Speaker 1: does all the time. I understand we also have a
Speaker 1: pension problem. Not as bad as Chicago and Illinois, but
Speaker 1: we got a pension problem. We're gonna talk about that
Speaker 1: with Todds. Enzer will take a break right now seven
Speaker 1: twenty five and let me mention and strongly encourage you
Speaker 1: to get in touch with it. My friends at Plumb
Speaker 1: tight plumbing, plumb type plumbing, they know you deserve better.
Speaker 1: They deliver on better, better customer service, better pricing, efficient plumbing,
Speaker 1: wonderfully done plumbing. It's great work they do. I know
Speaker 1: because I've seen a lot of it in my house.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, I think about it every day. Go
Speaker 1: to the end of the remodeled bathroom. I know who
Speaker 1: did the plumbing work on that. No service fees, free
Speaker 1: estimates be a a plus with a better business Bureau,
Speaker 1: Dry State's number one installer for tankless water heaters. Go tankless, endless,
Speaker 1: limitless hot water. The hot water's on, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: hot water out of it. It's just a real wild thing.
Speaker 1: And they're efficient, very energy efficiency. You can save some money.
Speaker 1: They last longer than ten heaters and they take up
Speaker 1: a lot less space. So consider tankless if your water
Speaker 1: heater needs to be replaced. Trenchless sewer line repair, no
Speaker 1: digging up your yard. They do trenchless with plumb tight plumbing.
Speaker 1: So if you have a sewer line problem you need
Speaker 1: to have it replaced, maybe go with plumb tight for
Speaker 1: all your plumbing needs. It's always plumbing done right and
Speaker 1: they live by that model. Tom Brian said, how man

Speaker 1: It's seven twenty nine right time, was here with Todd
Speaker 1: Censer and studio going over City of Cincinnati issues. So
Speaker 1: we went over the gun violence and the violence and
Speaker 1: the crime problem generally speaking, and the proposal from the city,
Speaker 1: which basically are funding a bunch of outside, non gouvernmental
Speaker 1: organizations with zero to very little accountability. Let us move
Speaker 1: on over to another area that's been a real problem
Speaker 1: for a very long time. I'm sinc they's pension problems underfunded.
Speaker 1: Is that a reasonable word to slap on the situation?
Speaker 8: Yes, very much so.
Speaker 1: And for how long has this been festering?
Speaker 8: Well, the pension liability was the subject of a civil complaint,
Speaker 8: federal complaint back in twenty fifteen, and there was a
Speaker 8: settlement that is now governing the pension liability, and they
Speaker 8: are required by twenty forty five, so that the settlement
Speaker 8: gives them thirty years to get the thing up to
Speaker 8: one hundred percent. But the thing is it was it
Speaker 8: was settled in twenty fifteen, so ten years ago, and
Speaker 8: they look at the funding ratio, which is how much
Speaker 8: of the liability do they need to fix by a
Speaker 8: certain date. So they're supposed to be one hundred percent
Speaker 8: funded by twenty forty five, right, and when this when
Speaker 8: the agreement was as uh finalized, they were at seventy
Speaker 8: seven percent that ten years ago.
Speaker 1: There ten years ago, seventy seven percent funded this.
Speaker 8: Year sixty eight percent.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, going to the right direction.
Speaker 8: It's gone down every every year.
Speaker 1: And well we'll fix it later. Is that the attitude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this seems like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and social welfare
Speaker 1: safety net programs that are all scheduled to be belly
Speaker 1: up by a certain date. Well, in Congress never does anything.
Speaker 8: It is exactly the same. So with respect to with
Speaker 8: respect to Congress, when it gets when when it gets
Speaker 8: to the point where they can't kick the can down
Speaker 8: the road anymore, they just they just print the money.
Speaker 1: Print the money, or tell you're not going to get
Speaker 1: as much as we promise.
Speaker 8: That's right. Cincinnati can't do that exactly. So the Futures
Speaker 8: Commission said the pension liability was the number one concern
Speaker 8: in the city and this council, and that was two
Speaker 8: years ago. Now that they the or was it two
Speaker 8: years or one year the Future's Commission issued its report.
Speaker 6: They're not.
Speaker 8: They have done very little different and it's not that difficult.
Speaker 8: So the reason that I talked about it recently on
Speaker 8: my podcast is because at the end of the the
Speaker 8: last meeting before the summer break that the the city
Speaker 8: manager slipped in the annual report from the Pension from
Speaker 8: the Pension uh outfit, and it has five recommendations in it.
Speaker 8: Four of them are totally unacceptable, you know, reduce, reduce benefits.
Speaker 8: One of them is the thing that the Future Commission
Speaker 8: wants to do is they want to regionalize the waterworks
Speaker 8: and monetize that. Take that money, put it into the
Speaker 8: pension and make the pension attractive for the state pension
Speaker 8: system to take it over. Well, that that's going to
Speaker 8: do that, No, that's not going to happen. It's a
Speaker 8: long shot at best. It requires a referendum to get
Speaker 8: rid of the water works. So the only thing they're
Speaker 8: left with is to put more money into the pension fund.
Speaker 1: That's the solution to the problem.
Speaker 8: And if you look at their recommendation, it would require
Speaker 8: an extra I mean they're making a contribution now. It's
Speaker 8: about I think it's up into sixty million or sixty
Speaker 8: four million dollars a year they put into the pension
Speaker 8: liability or the pension fund. The pension fund, they have
Speaker 8: more people taking out than they have putting in. And
Speaker 8: according to this recommendation from the trustees, it would take
Speaker 8: whatever the city's putting in now put in an extra
Speaker 8: two million dollars every year, year after year on top
Speaker 8: of that, and they're projecting that if the city does that,
Speaker 8: it will be one hundred percent by twenty forty five,
Speaker 8: like those settlement requires. And why we're looking at all
Speaker 8: these other options and all this other stuff. I don't
Speaker 8: get that just put the money in it set.
Speaker 1: Well, if you take it and put it into the
Speaker 1: pension system, that means there's fewer non government organizations out
Speaker 1: there in the world that they're gonna get funded because
Speaker 1: they don't have enough money to go around.
Speaker 8: That is my exact concern. We're gonna keep spending money
Speaker 8: trying to save people and they may not save the city.
Speaker 1: Well, and the practical and correct me if I'm wrong
Speaker 1: on this, The practical effect of that is the worst.
Speaker 1: The pension problem is the worst. Are bond rating.
Speaker 8: Well, yes, it has definitely have implications like.
Speaker 1: That, which means if they ever want to borrow money
Speaker 1: for a big project, they're going to pay a half
Speaker 1: a lot more money and interest on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, they have no problem borrowing money, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, that's an easy fix to todd Well, it
Speaker 1: really is. It's just like, okay, we must allocate primary
Speaker 1: first and foremost. Here's the money we need to put
Speaker 1: in the pension system to keep it alive and to
Speaker 1: comply with the settlement agreement. We only have a window
Speaker 1: of opportunity here and it's quickly running out, and it,
Speaker 1: Lily is getting worse. So here's the money done, what's
Speaker 1: left over right right, absolutely, and then we'll divide that
Speaker 1: up among maybe infrastructure, repairing roads and keeping bridges together,
Speaker 1: and the fleet which is falling apart apparently got to
Speaker 1: have more money allocated to that and some other issues
Speaker 1: we'll talk about with dot censor. Well, do you have
Speaker 1: any good news to talk about with what's going on
Speaker 1: the city today? Todd pause, seven thirty five. Right now,

Speaker 1: your doctor and you're not all excited about that. A
Speaker 1: lot of downtime, a lot of question marks, and of
Speaker 1: course the issues that go along with surgery. Generally speaking, well,

Speaker 1: out there, it's the folks a QC kinetic leaders in

Speaker 9: dot com. I'm seeing the fog clearing outs and a
Speaker 9: little bit of sunshine this morning. An earlier stall seventy
Speaker 9: five northbound at I two to seventy five is just
Speaker 9: cleared from the left shoulder. As you're moving a bit
Speaker 9: better here, what do you have some pockets of heavy
Speaker 9: traffic like an I seventy five southbound Galberth Road to
Speaker 9: Paddock Road. I'm Heather Pasco and fifty five krc's the
Speaker 9: Talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven on a Thursday. Bryan timas here where Citizen Watchdog
Speaker 1: todds In's or check out his podcast. Citizen Watchdog deals
Speaker 1: with a lot of the issues that we're going through
Speaker 1: this morning. City Cincinnati focused issues. We talked earlier about violence,
Speaker 1: We talked about the pension problem. We've got a simple
Speaker 1: problem to solve. You just need to allocate the money
Speaker 1: up front and sufficient quantities that you'll be able to
Speaker 1: replenish the pension pursuing to the settlement agreement from twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen by calendar year twenty forty five. I mean, it
Speaker 1: sounds like you have forever to do this, but it
Speaker 1: only gets worse. Still blows my mind now, which leads
Speaker 1: me to the question before we get to mismanagement and
Speaker 1: lack of accounty, lack of accountability from city leaders on
Speaker 1: a variety of other areas, including like the fleet fifty
Speaker 1: percent of which I guess is out of service, maintenance
Speaker 1: upkeep prepares, some of it needs to be replaced. It's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we had problems with snow removal,
Speaker 1: fire trucks, all that kind of stuff. Right, So another
Speaker 1: simple you know, yeah, gotta take care of it. Maintenance, upkeep,
Speaker 1: and replacement is a simple function of government. It's a
Speaker 1: known entity. Do you get the impression? And I asked
Speaker 1: you this specifically, are they just asleep at the wheel
Speaker 1: or are they dealing with something else that's a higher
Speaker 1: priority for I mean from from their perspective for the
Speaker 1: use of the city taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, the the agenda that that they carry out is
Speaker 8: very progressive, all of these programs for you know, the
Speaker 8: social programs, et cetera. They have a financial freedom blueprint
Speaker 8: that I'm looking into that is just a variety of
Speaker 8: things that they're funding. I think I I think I
Speaker 8: counted like eleven million dollars going into their financial freedom program.
Speaker 1: What the hell is financial freedom program?
Speaker 8: You It's it's hard to it's hard to believe. But
Speaker 8: they have, like I don't know, twenty different things they're
Speaker 8: working on, uh to promote financial freedom of you know,
Speaker 8: the various segments.
Speaker 1: Of the population. What does that even mean?
Speaker 8: Financial freedom? For example, they have appropriated money to give
Speaker 8: to kids for savings accounts. Right, They do things like that,
Speaker 8: and I don't have the list with me, but it's well,
Speaker 8: wait a minute, I do have the list with me.
Speaker 8: I'll give you an example, Okay, all right, it's launch
Speaker 8: a program to prevent eviction by supporting tenants with legal
Speaker 8: services and emergency assistants. They're going to fund that at
Speaker 8: a million dollars. That was a couple of years ago. Okay,
Speaker 8: so those are those are the kind of things that
Speaker 8: they do. They give it's it. It follows a very
Speaker 8: detailed analysis of you know, how the underserved populations became
Speaker 8: underserved and how they're going to work out of that.
Speaker 1: All right, let me just walk through this logically if
Speaker 1: I can. So you're out there in the world, you're
Speaker 1: having a problem paying the red City Cincinnati will give
Speaker 1: you money to cover the hole you're in, so you
Speaker 1: get your rent paid? Yes, then what about next month?
Speaker 1: Unless you change that person's circumstance to where they have
Speaker 1: a job and can afford to make enough money to
Speaker 1: cover rent, then the problem is never going to go away.
Speaker 1: You're just constantly providing handouts to folks who are dealing
Speaker 1: with that circumstance.
Speaker 8: Right, And I don't really know exactly how they administer
Speaker 8: the program.
Speaker 1: But oh, like going back to the other programs, you
Speaker 1: don't know how they administer.
Speaker 8: But they have a lot going on in that regard.
Speaker 8: They have a lot going on with the financial freedom,
Speaker 8: They have a lot going on with the Green Cincinnati Plan.
Speaker 8: They have a lot going on with this alternative to
Speaker 8: response to response.
Speaker 1: Crisis, to rethink the police component.
Speaker 8: And that's all related to this act for since the
Speaker 8: it And they have all of these things going on,
Speaker 8: and you really have to wonder whether any of them
Speaker 8: are working. And they don't have the thing that bothers
Speaker 8: me the most that there's no oversight in the city whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Right, there's no inspector general.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 8: They have an internal audit manager, and I think she's
Speaker 8: issued some, you know, a few good reports, but I
Speaker 8: also don't think that the city council reads the reports.
Speaker 8: And the fleet the fleet audit, the audit of the
Speaker 8: city's fleet is a prime example. She issued her audit
Speaker 8: on the problems with the fleet in January of twenty four,
Speaker 8: a year before this winter storm Blair, and had the
Speaker 8: city council read the report or even this, I don't
Speaker 8: even know if the city manager reads the report. Maybe
Speaker 8: they could have taken care of some of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm a little suspect on your conclusion. It is
Speaker 1: maybe they could have taken care of this, and any
Speaker 1: responsible elected official would have. But going back to their
Speaker 1: you know, the settlement of the pension programming, that is
Speaker 1: a settlement. There is an obligation, legal obligation to fund it.
Speaker 1: They didn't do that, and I'm sure they're all aware
Speaker 1: of that. So priorities. I think there's a failure of
Speaker 1: priorities here on the council. Seven forty five one more
Speaker 1: with Todd Zenzer, with Ivan a few more of these
Speaker 1: related issues. After I mentioned Affordable imaging services, Affordable men
Speaker 1: Imaging dot com is where you find them online. It's
Speaker 1: where you get Echo Cardigram's MRIs CT scans and ultrasounds
Speaker 1: for thousands less, I mean thousands of dollars, saving thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars for the exact same service. Hospital imaging department
Speaker 1: we'll charge you, like to say, for a CT scan
Speaker 1: five grand and climbing maybe you get a separate bill
Speaker 1: for the radiologist report. Uh No, I've done my CT
Speaker 1: scans at Affordable Imaging Services four hundred and fifty with
Speaker 1: no contrast six hundred with the contrast, and those low
Speaker 1: prices come with the board certified radiology support included, so
Speaker 1: I've never had a problem. My doctor has never complained.
Speaker 1: The images are again exactly like the hospital, just that
Speaker 1: there's low overhead, and by keeping the overhead low, they
Speaker 1: passed along these massive savings to you. Jeff, you're out there.
Speaker 6: I know it.
Speaker 1: Every time I mentioned affordable imaging, he sends me three
Speaker 1: smiley faces in an email because he saved thirty one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars compared to the hospital imaging department when he
Speaker 1: got his CT scan. So get it, get a scan,
Speaker 1: Get it Affordable Imaging Services. You have an exercise, give
Speaker 1: a right to exercise your choice, so exercise it. Five

Speaker 9: on fifty five krc the talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven fifty the fifty five KRCD talk station speaking of
Speaker 1: crime in the GREATERSINCINNTI area. Aaron Winer. He's a member
Speaker 1: of the Clifton Community Council, also running for council as
Speaker 1: a charter Right about the street takeover incident that's going
Speaker 1: to take place. After the top of the UR news,
Speaker 1: then we'll hear from Jay Ratliff closed out in a
Speaker 1: real positive note with our iHeartMedia aviation expert nothing positive
Speaker 1: on our discussion. The discussion has been a wonderfully enlightening one.
Speaker 1: Todd Zenzer in studio, he's our citizen watchdog going through
Speaker 1: the what I would argue failure of priorities by the
Speaker 1: decision making on counsel and the mayor went through quite
Speaker 1: a few of these. You mentioned the sidewalk repair. Yes,
Speaker 1: obviously we have a huge infrastructure problem in the city.
Speaker 1: I had the railway wave. Money was supposed to generate
Speaker 1: sufficient revenue to handle the roads and existing infrastructure. We
Speaker 1: still have a pothole problem. I don't know they've ever
Speaker 1: repaid Sunset had to get that in there. But sidewalk
Speaker 1: repair now is sidewalk repair. This is something that they
Speaker 1: allocated money for.
Speaker 8: Yes, they'd started a pilot program on sidewalk repair funded
Speaker 8: at one hundred thousand dollars, which and again the way
Speaker 8: it works is people calling to complain about their neighbors sidewalks, right,
Speaker 8: and the city goes out and evaluates and they give
Speaker 8: it a grade of good, fair, and condemned.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: So if you're fair, you need to fix it, but
Speaker 8: we're not going to order you to fix it. But
Speaker 8: if it's condemned, you're ordered by the city to fix it.
Speaker 1: The sidewalk is the property owner's responsibility.
Speaker 8: That's that's the way the municipal code reads right now.
Speaker 1: Ya interesting, even though the property owner didn't build the
Speaker 1: sidewalk in the first place, the city built it.
Speaker 8: That's that's right.
Speaker 1: Okay, But you got to pay for it yourself, that's right.
Speaker 8: And so I guess one of the members of council
Speaker 8: got complaints or somebody gave her a good idea to
Speaker 8: use railway money to fix the sidewalks. So that's what
Speaker 8: she wants to do. And then the Vice mayor jumps
Speaker 8: in and she joins the h She joins the effort,
Speaker 8: but for only for the rising fifteen neighborhoods, So this
Speaker 8: is going to be limited to the to seven neighborhoods
Speaker 8: identified by the DOTE the Department of Transportation. And the
Speaker 8: thing is that that the department already has a sidewalk
Speaker 8: repair program and it's they they you know, they do
Speaker 8: take care of like the gutters and the and the
Speaker 8: curves and things like that, and the property owner takes
Speaker 8: care of the sidewalks themselves. So it's a kind of
Speaker 8: a joint effort. And if you go back and look
Speaker 8: at the list of the four hundred million dollars in
Speaker 8: deferred maintenance that the city generated during the campaign. Although
Speaker 8: I've never seen four hundred million, I've seen two hundred
Speaker 8: and fifty. Residential sidewalks are not on that list. So
Speaker 8: we have another four hundred million dollars worth of infrastructure
Speaker 8: to take care of. Why would we add to that
Speaker 8: by taking on the responsibility responsibility that's right now.
Speaker 1: Well, it's the same thing as paying rent for people
Speaker 1: who can't pay the rent, right, Yes, if I can't
Speaker 1: pay the rent, I'm sure as hell can't afford to
Speaker 1: pay to have my sidewalk replaced.
Speaker 8: That's right. So it's, as you mentioned, it's a matter
Speaker 8: of priorities. But it seems to me that we should
Speaker 8: be tackling that four hundred million dollars before we take
Speaker 8: on additional and it would it would be about two
Speaker 8: million dollars if we were to fix If the city
Speaker 8: were to fix every condemned sidewalk in the city, which
Speaker 8: they say is about seven hundred and fifty a year,
Speaker 8: it'd be about two million dollars a year. The average
Speaker 8: cost they say for repairing sidewalks is twenty five hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: All right. Let I mean, I guess a couple of
Speaker 1: questions on that. They also have hundreds and hundreds of
Speaker 1: road miles that they're supposed to be repairing each and
Speaker 1: every year. They have the money that's supposed to be
Speaker 1: allocated for that, but they don't stay on top of it.
Speaker 1: They keep getting further and further behind. So even if
Speaker 1: they said, all right, here's two million dollars we're going
Speaker 1: to allocate toward repairing the sidewalks, that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: they're actually going to get repaired in any given calendar year.
Speaker 8: That's right, Just like the extra money that we're going
Speaker 8: to get for the rail sale, there's no guarantee that
Speaker 8: they're going to have the capacity to spend it. I mean,
Speaker 8: the city staff is only so big. They're contracting capabilities
Speaker 8: or only so much. They can only do so much
Speaker 8: in a period of time. And so the city council
Speaker 8: member she wants to come in and add to their workload.
Speaker 8: Even the city manager, she wrote a memo about all this.
Speaker 8: Even she pointed out that, well, you know, if we
Speaker 8: do this sidewalk repair program that these council members are
Speaker 8: talking about we're not going to be able to do
Speaker 8: the other part of our program, yes, or it's going
Speaker 8: to impact our ability to do that. But the council
Speaker 8: members don't care. They think that we have limited staff resources,
Speaker 8: and they just pile it on.
Speaker 1: Todd Zenzer shining a bright light on the I would
Speaker 1: argue dysfunction since a city council and the mayor, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to solve all these problems today, but
Speaker 1: thankfully Todd has been identifying them. It seems to be
Speaker 1: that some of them are rather easy to ident or
Speaker 1: to fix if they prioritize properly and put aside their
Speaker 1: pet projects behind the scenes that they seem to be
Speaker 1: more broadly focused on. Todd, You're a blessing to our community.
Speaker 1: I can't thank you nough for the work that you
Speaker 1: do watching out for these things and reporting regularly on

Speaker 1: on a positive note with Jay on Thursday, and I'm
Speaker 1: pleased to welcome. Timing couldn't be better, considering we've been
Speaker 1: talking a lot about violence in the Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Aaron Winer's joining the program. Aaron is a member of
Speaker 1: the Clifton Community Council, but he's also running for Cincinnati
Speaker 1: City Council as a charter right erin It's great to
Speaker 1: have you on the program. Thanks for joining the show.
Speaker 5: Hey, thanks for having me. Good morning and morning Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And I will let folks know it's a winer for Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: W E I N E R four f O R
Speaker 1: Cincinnati dot com. That's where you find his campaign website.
Speaker 1: He's also on Facebook. Before we get to what you're
Speaker 1: running on as council and what your vision, excuse me,
Speaker 1: your vision and your priorities are for the for the city.
Speaker 1: In your role as a Clifton Community Council member, you
Speaker 1: had a bit of a problem on your hands. I
Speaker 1: guess it was this past Sunday, a late night with
Speaker 1: our calling street takeover on Ludlow Avenue. Apparently more than
Speaker 1: eighty people crowded street, blocking traffic, intimidating people and it
Speaker 1: got kind of and so much so that my understanding
Speaker 1: is the there was a fire truck that was trying
Speaker 1: to get out. They couldn't get the fire truck out
Speaker 1: to go on a run. That's kind of scary. This
Speaker 1: came up in your your council meeting on Monday, did
Speaker 1: it not correct?
Speaker 13: So first of all, just for the record, I'm not
Speaker 13: on Clifton Town meeting. I'm a member of the Clifton
Speaker 13: Town Meeting. I'm a Clifton resident and along with but
Speaker 13: I'm not one of the officers, but i can certainly
Speaker 13: speak to the issue because I'm very I'm very well informed.
Speaker 1: Of course, you are an actively involved, concerned citizen. That
Speaker 1: qualifies you because concern.
Speaker 13: And I'm a member and I'm a member of Clifton
Speaker 13: Town Meeting. So so essentially let me start with some history.
Speaker 13: So this particular business has been sort of a score
Speaker 13: to the community for quite some time. It started in
Speaker 13: fall of twenty three when Facebook posts have been posted
Speaker 13: for after parties at this business of Hoogabar, so.
Speaker 1: Talking about the Bohemian Hookah Cafe.
Speaker 13: Correct, correct, So it started in the fall twenty three.
Speaker 13: They were posting on the Facebook page after parties and
Speaker 13: they first started indoor sort of non nondescript things, which
Speaker 13: slowly turned into pouring into the outdoors and loud dancing
Speaker 13: and disruption, which turned into selling alcohol and other things
Speaker 13: out of the cars and just disruption. So you know,
Speaker 13: over multiple occasions, CTM had reached out and also our
Speaker 13: business district, we have a Business District association as well,
Speaker 13: has engaged the police, has engaged City City Law Apartment.
Speaker 13: They have cameras of it, they have video of it.
Speaker 13: And each time that we've brought this to the attention,
Speaker 13: you know, we can't prove anything. We can't we can't
Speaker 13: identify people. So it's an ongoing thing. Which basically the
Speaker 13: culmination of this was what happened over the fourth of
Speaker 13: July weekend, which was one of these events, which was
Speaker 13: probably extra escalated because it was a holiday. Eighty plus
Speaker 13: people about three forty three thirty in the morning to
Speaker 13: four o'clock in the morning, so July, you know, July
Speaker 13: fifth into the sixth, and on Sunday, just the crowd
Speaker 13: in the street.
Speaker 6: It is true.
Speaker 13: You know, we have our firehouse right there on the
Speaker 13: on the street at the corner of Ludlow and Clifton,
Speaker 13: and that was blocked that they couldn't get out. Police
Speaker 13: showed up. They quickly realized that this is out of hand,
Speaker 13: certainly I not. Tatoes were used and pepper balls were used,
Speaker 13: and they realized that they didn't have enough people to
Speaker 13: actually handle it. Calder backup, which was not readily imagine that.
Speaker 13: So it escalated. There were arrests, there were guns, and
Speaker 13: obviously could have been a lot worse. There was a
Speaker 13: felony assault on an officer, and this could have been
Speaker 13: a lot worse. There could have been a shooting, there
Speaker 13: could have you know, who knows where that fire truck
Speaker 13: was going. Where they going to someone's house that was
Speaker 13: having an emergency. You know, we don't really know that
Speaker 13: part of the story yet. So I mean, basically, this
Speaker 13: is just sort of a culmination and and sort of
Speaker 13: the pinnacle of what was what's been going on in
Speaker 13: the neighborhood for a good part of almost two years.
Speaker 13: And I think what really sort of surprises me is
Speaker 13: I keep up on the news, and certainly I was
Speaker 13: out of town actually when this was going on, but
Speaker 13: it was shocked that this happened Sunday and I didn't
Speaker 13: hear about this. No one heard about this un till
Speaker 13: Tuesday when the news broke through through our business association CTM.
Speaker 13: You know, why was this not it's brought out in
Speaker 13: the news. I mean, this just happened in Blue ash,
Speaker 13: which was all over the news.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you.
Speaker 13: Know how fing this was sort of swept under the rug,
Speaker 13: and you know, I didn't even hear about it as
Speaker 13: an involved neighbor until Tuesday when the news broke.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we've had a real problem at least collectively
Speaker 1: observing the reactions of Cincinna City Council and the mayor
Speaker 1: to the lot of the violence that's going on. I mean,
Speaker 1: this isn't the first gang of unruly people who've gathered
Speaker 1: together in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the police. Silence seems
Speaker 1: to be deafening for at least from the mayor's office
Speaker 1: and from the council members. So maybe this is just
Speaker 1: a concerted effort. It's bad for business, it's bad for marketing.
Speaker 1: It makes the city look bad. It makes Clifton look
Speaker 1: bad if we find out we got gangs of kids
Speaker 1: that are showing up at three o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: outside of this hookah bar, partying in the street and
Speaker 1: waving guns around, and maybe they just want to sleep
Speaker 1: it under the rug. I'm left to speculate on that. Aaron,
Speaker 1: But this bohemian hookah cafe, according to Channel nine, they're
Speaker 1: open between four pm and four am every day, that
Speaker 1: is past bar closure time. They're not a they don't
Speaker 1: have a liquor license, but don't the bars in the
Speaker 1: in the Clifton area and your community close at two
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 13: That's correct. That's correct. I mean I think some actually
Speaker 13: might can close earlier, depending on the traffic that that
Speaker 13: they received that night.
Speaker 1: Sure, So the Bohemian Huko Cafe not having a liquor license,
Speaker 1: but apparently drawing the attention of a bunch of people
Speaker 1: that want to hang out there. That's how you end
Speaker 1: up having alcohol being sold out of cars because it's
Speaker 1: past bar open time. But if there's an opportunity to
Speaker 1: make a little money and people are going to continue
Speaker 1: to want to drink, that's obviously that's going to happen,
Speaker 1: or at least seems logical that it's happening. That's correct.
Speaker 13: It's an attractive nuisance. Realize what it is.
Speaker 1: So are they going to close down? I saw that
Speaker 1: the reporting indicated that the owner of the establishment's building
Speaker 1: is trying to evict the Bohemian Huka Cafe as the
Speaker 1: city helped along those lines. Have they been identified as
Speaker 1: a nuisance business yet? Are we moving in that direction?
Speaker 13: As far as far as I know, that has not
Speaker 13: been identified and that that's not been part of that equation. No,
Speaker 13: I mean, I think certainly the landlord has has recourse
Speaker 13: with their own process. But as far as we're Stardline'm concerned,
Speaker 13: there really has not been much of an effort yet
Speaker 13: through the city.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, now that it's made the news eron
Speaker 1: and it's and you obviously have been aware of it
Speaker 1: living in the neighborhood. You've talked about the videos that
Speaker 1: have been shown to the police in the past and all,
Speaker 1: we can't identify who that is, but that doesn't suggest
Speaker 1: that it isn't happening. Look, there's the crowd of people.
Speaker 1: I know, we can't figure out who's in that crowd,
Speaker 1: but look what's going on all the time. It seems
Speaker 1: to me the natural reaction will be to post they
Speaker 1: have a broader, larger police presence right there outside of
Speaker 1: the hookah bar to keep people from congregating and engaging
Speaker 1: in this kind of activity.
Speaker 13: I mean, I think that would crotinly be helpful. And
Speaker 13: certainly in the past we have you know, they've certainly gone,
Speaker 13: but they just say they can't they can't prove it,
Speaker 13: they can't find you know, what they're doing driven by before.
Speaker 13: But again, I mean, I think certainly that the presence
Speaker 13: would there's no substitute for an act of deterrence, and
Speaker 13: that's that's having the police presence, you know, during during the.
Speaker 1: Situation, all right, And what is concerning about this is
Speaker 1: that maybe the most logical and simplest solution just get
Speaker 1: a whole bunch more officers up there to keep them
Speaker 1: from engaging in criminal activity otherwise blocking the street to
Speaker 1: the fire department. But as you pointed out, the police
Speaker 1: that were there appreciated that they were overwhelmed by the numbers,
Speaker 1: were probably afraid given the number of people there, called
Speaker 1: for backup, which wasn't immediately available. So we run into
Speaker 1: that problem all the time, Aaron. The police are already
Speaker 1: working multiple overtime hours. They're short staff. I think they're
Speaker 1: down one hundred and fifty plus. They've got more people
Speaker 1: every day who are announcing early retirement. I talked to
Speaker 1: the FLP president about on the program earlier this week,
Speaker 1: and that's a frightening thing. And I know part of
Speaker 1: your campaign plan for running for CINCINNY City Council is,
Speaker 1: you know, expanding the number of officers and increasing the classes.
Speaker 1: But that's that takes a while to accomplish. So we're
Speaker 1: dealing with the real police shortage here. Is really what
Speaker 1: this comes down to. Correct.
Speaker 13: Correct, My understanding is we're about nine hundred and change
Speaker 13: and we should be about twelve hundred and change to
Speaker 13: sort of meet the requirements for three of our size.
Speaker 13: Well that's a huge gap.
Speaker 1: Aaron, you want to talk about your campaign, we'll bring
Speaker 1: you back and dive on into some of the platform
Speaker 1: you're running on. Aaron Winer, that's correct. Let's thank you.
Speaker 1: So let's do that. So pause, let's pause, which I
Speaker 1: mean I'm at break time. So I'll bring you back
Speaker 1: and we'll dive on maybe a little bit more of this,
Speaker 1: but also your platform for since any city count so
Speaker 1: lord knows, we could use a refreshing change. And Aaron
Speaker 1: may very well be that guy age fifteen right now,
Speaker 1: I fifty five k see the talk station. Let me
Speaker 1: first mentioned cover sincy, the phone call that you should make,
Speaker 1: phone call that won't cost you anything, the phone call
Speaker 1: that won't oblige you to do anything, a phone call
Speaker 1: that will result and cover sincy. Looking at you your situation,
Speaker 1: maybe your family's on your medical insurance, but it's all
Speaker 1: about medical insurance and you probably got one of those
Speaker 1: plans or your employer. It's one size fits, although it
Speaker 1: really does, and lots and lots and lots of holes
Speaker 1: in the bucket massive out of pocket liability, most notably
Speaker 1: if you're, like on Obamacare, looking at ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: out of pocket next year. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: that tax credit it goes away if you make more
Speaker 1: than sixty four grand in the next calendar years. So
Speaker 1: if you're operating with the tax credit, which is what
Speaker 1: makes it affordable, you need to talk to John Roulman.
Speaker 1: He is your broker, working with hundreds of insurance companies
Speaker 1: across the table from you and John and his team
Speaker 1: they're not beholding to any one of them. They have
Speaker 1: an allegation to you to sift through all of the
Speaker 1: thousands of available policies and find out one that best
Speaker 1: suits your needs, needs which can change over time. So
Speaker 1: John on the team to look at where you are,
Speaker 1: what you've got, come up with a better solution, one
Speaker 1: that'll provide dollar one coverage in many many cases where
Speaker 1: you don't have it, and will cost you less. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine that better medical insurance, less money? Does it
Speaker 1: every single day and to great satisfaction. The listeners that
Speaker 1: have gotten in touch with John and the team have
Speaker 1: been really happy. I get a lot of emails and
Speaker 1: communications about how much how the financial bottom line in
Speaker 1: the medical coverage is better. So call them up, let
Speaker 1: them do the analysis for you. Let them come up
Speaker 1: with a better way. Five one three eight hundred call
Speaker 1: that's five one three eight hundred two two five five.
Speaker 1: There's a form online you can fill out. They won't
Speaker 1: give your information to anybody. It stays right there with them.
Speaker 1: Cover Sincy dot com fifty five KRC for more information
Speaker 1: about contests. On this date, eight nineteen fifty five KERR
Speaker 1: CD talk Station Ryan Thomas with Aaron Weiner running for
Speaker 1: Cincinnia City Council. You have a choice out there. You
Speaker 1: don't have to go with the same old, same old.
Speaker 1: Doing the same thing over and over again is the
Speaker 1: definition of stupidity if you're expecting a different result. Weiner
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati we I an e R fo R Cincinnati
Speaker 1: dot COM's his website for his campaign, or he can
Speaker 1: find him on Facebook at Aaron with two A's Winer
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati City Council. Aaron, what of your priorities? And
Speaker 1: I appreciate your priorities public safety and law enforcement. Along
Speaker 1: the lines of what we've been talking about youth violence
Speaker 1: and crime prevention. Quite often these roving gangs include a
Speaker 1: bunch of underage young people. How they are out in
Speaker 1: how they get away with being out at three o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, That to me seems a family issue.
Speaker 1: But we do have a curfew. And one thing I
Speaker 1: learned from the FOP president other's on law enforcement. They
Speaker 1: don't even bother picking them up for truancy violations because
Speaker 1: nothing is ever done. There's no room at the inn
Speaker 1: in terms of locking them up overnight, and the judicial
Speaker 1: system usually just dismisses the case outright, just no done,
Speaker 1: We're gonna let him go. So how do we solve
Speaker 1: that problem? Because that's a critical leg of the criminal
Speaker 1: justice system is unishment. It acts as a deterrence to
Speaker 1: others they know they're going to get in trouble if
Speaker 1: they do something, and it also punishes the person who
Speaker 1: broke the law. If you take that out, I say,
Speaker 1: you basically destroyed the concept of law enforcement.
Speaker 13: Correct, correct? So I mean I think first of all,
Speaker 13: it starts by by saying that unfortunately, we can't parent
Speaker 13: everyone's child.
Speaker 1: And I think it does.
Speaker 13: It does, it does start it in the home, and
Speaker 13: there's certainly there's certainly lots of nuances to that.
Speaker 1: But I do agree with you.
Speaker 13: I think we need we can't have law as if
Speaker 13: we don't enforce them. I mean, truancy is an important
Speaker 13: part of that, and I think that should be followed
Speaker 13: up on. And it starts and it starts there. I mean,
Speaker 13: if it's if you start catching things early, it prevents
Speaker 13: things that happen later, and I think it does. It
Speaker 13: does boil down to consequences. I think, you know, growing up,
Speaker 13: we learned that if if if you did act, then
Speaker 13: why could happen?
Speaker 1: Absolutely and why why.
Speaker 13: Could that could be the worst case possible.
Speaker 1: So we learned that we just didn't do that.
Speaker 5: Or you know, if we got away with it once, great,
Speaker 5: but it probably won't happen again.
Speaker 1: No, just thinking of my day my late father and
Speaker 1: mother or my mom is still with those But yeah,
Speaker 1: they did not abide this kind of behavior. Period. If
Speaker 1: they found me that I was at at three o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning hanging out with a gang, uh and
Speaker 1: maybe getting perhaps of being a victim of a drive
Speaker 1: by shooting, Trust me, there would be hell to pay
Speaker 1: in my house.
Speaker 13: Right absolutely, and again it's not. It's not that I'm
Speaker 13: not for I mean, I know that some of the
Speaker 13: things that we're doing in the city or are providing
Speaker 13: programs and so forth, and it's not that I'm against that.
Speaker 13: I do think, you know, certain certain programs that are
Speaker 13: doing are good. But that's really not that's a social problem.
Speaker 13: That's not that's that's that's a social fix, that's not
Speaker 13: a law enforcement fix. So while I m for some
Speaker 13: of that, it's not it's not it's not the solution.
Speaker 13: It's certainly in certainly kids do need things to do.
Speaker 13: You know, we can't go to King's Island anymore under
Speaker 13: a certainty, So I get it. There's you know, there's
Speaker 13: there's things that I could have done as a kid
Speaker 13: that maybe people can't do now. So I totally get that.
Speaker 13: But still it does it does boil down to if
Speaker 13: X happens, then why will happen as well? And I
Speaker 13: do think we did need to take take this seriously
Speaker 13: and actually have consequences. And you know, you know, the
Speaker 13: magistrates can't just release someone back if they've gotten to trouble.
Speaker 13: Let's let's let's have a plan on that that does
Speaker 13: have some consequences. Does take away some freedoms for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 13: and hopefully that curbs the problem.
Speaker 1: Another thing I see on your list of priorities, and
Speaker 1: this is going to put a small lot of my
Speaker 1: listeners faces repealing connected communities ran into this. It's as
Speaker 1: if the city council does not care about the local
Speaker 1: nature of the different neighborhoods that are in the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. We saw this unfold with bond Hill Hyde Park.
Speaker 1: They first shove connected communities as a zoning concept on
Speaker 1: all of the neighborhoods without consulting them and regardless of
Speaker 1: whether or not they were interested in it, and then
Speaker 1: offer waivers to connected developers like in Hyde Park to
Speaker 1: go outside of connected communities and build whatever it is
Speaker 1: these developers.
Speaker 13: One.
Speaker 1: Now, that's going to be at least on the ballot
Speaker 1: this fall, and I think there are going to be
Speaker 1: a lot of people voting in favor of that. But
Speaker 1: you'd just like to repeal the whole connecting community's concept.
Speaker 13: Correct. Well, let me start with the genesis of my campaign,
Speaker 13: which is very much in line with what you've just said,
Speaker 13: is that I'm sitting here right now in my office
Speaker 13: on Hyde Park Square and I've been My business has
Speaker 13: been here for over twenty years, and my particular office
Speaker 13: is part of that, at the center of the controversial development.
Speaker 13: And that's sort of what has I think about Rerny
Speaker 13: for cos Council for a long time. But that's sort
Speaker 13: of what catapulted me into jumping into the race, because
Speaker 13: all of a sudden, I became a stakeholder in this
Speaker 13: in this this large issues, so to get to get
Speaker 13: back to connected communities. And obviously I'm in real estate,
Speaker 13: so I'm sitting in my real estate office. I'm for development.
Speaker 13: I've been around for all the genres of development in Cincinnati,
Speaker 13: from when they were building the comments of the in
Speaker 13: the Central Business District to Gate Recorder to OTR to
Speaker 13: Main Street to Walla Hill. I've been involved in all
Speaker 13: of them. I'm for development right. What I'm against are
Speaker 13: a couple things. The first thing is, you know we
Speaker 13: have we are a unique city of hill of Hills
Speaker 13: and the River. To have a one size fits all
Speaker 13: brushstroke across the city does not make sense to me.
Speaker 13: If you get in your car and you drive from
Speaker 13: College Hill down the North Side and in the Clifton
Speaker 13: and each neighborhood has different needs, So why would we
Speaker 13: have a brushstroke across the whole city? Is a one
Speaker 13: size fits all, you know. Getting getting back to Clifton,
Speaker 13: where this where this whole incident happened, we were talking about.
Speaker 13: You know, one of the things we didn't talk about
Speaker 13: is there's apartment buildings all around there that are getting
Speaker 13: that we're involved. There's density in Clifton.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 13: But my point is My point is is that each
Speaker 13: neighborhood has their own needs. So to just put a
Speaker 13: breaststroke across the entire city, to me without consideration of
Speaker 13: the individual needs of the community, with with with bad legislation,
Speaker 13: Which is another reason why I wanted to use my
Speaker 13: experience as a real tour to have these discussions about
Speaker 13: development and these touch issues and be the adult in
Speaker 13: the in the room that's we're discussing them. Because I
Speaker 13: believe in the city and I want to make sure
Speaker 13: that we preserve the architecture. There's a reason why fifty
Speaker 13: movies have been filmed in since and now you're over
Speaker 13: the last several years, over the last many years. It's
Speaker 13: our architecture, it's our character, you know, that's an asset we.
Speaker 1: Need to product. Aaron wer speaking my line. I appreciate
Speaker 1: what you have to say. I really strongly encourage my
Speaker 1: Cincinnati listeners to get over to your website and learn
Speaker 1: more about what you stand for. Some really good priorities here, Aaron,

Speaker 1: Hey thirty two to fifty five KR City Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Love this time and day and week because of it
Speaker 1: to have iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratlif Jonas for a
Speaker 1: few segments to talk about aviation issues and while there
Speaker 1: are a ton of things to talk about. As always,
Speaker 1: welcome back my friend Jay ratl If. It's good to
Speaker 1: have you on the show.
Speaker 3: Very pleasant. Good morning, my friend.
Speaker 1: Uh new term. I lard You know, I always look
Speaker 1: for AVA news before you come on, although you do
Speaker 1: have enough topics to fill up all the time this morning,
Speaker 1: Ale Louse, yep, do you know who that is?
Speaker 3: You go ahead.
Speaker 1: It is one of those people who, as soon as
Speaker 1: the plane lands and is taxing, jumps up out of
Speaker 1: the seat and runs to the front of the plane
Speaker 1: so they can be the first off even if they're
Speaker 1: way behind. Unlike the normal way we all deboard the plane,
Speaker 1: which is the people up front go out first and
Speaker 1: we gradually follow suit behind them as our aisle shows up.
Speaker 3: Ale Louse, well, we've talked about we've talked about gate life,
Speaker 3: the people that try to be bored early, so we
Speaker 3: love giving people unofficially, this didn't come for me kind
Speaker 3: of term. And yeah, I've seen people in the rear
Speaker 3: of the aircraft that literally will knock people over. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're trying to get thrown on the airplane.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 3: I understand sometimes if the flights late, and sometimes the
Speaker 3: flight attendant say, look, we've got people here was a
Speaker 3: nine minute connection. Let's try to give them a head start.
Speaker 3: But I also recognize that we're in position to control
Speaker 3: a lot of it. And if I've got a tight
Speaker 3: connection in Atlanta or Dallas or Chicago, the last thing
Speaker 3: I'm going to do is sit in row thirty one.
Speaker 3: It's not going to happen. If I can, I'm going
Speaker 3: to get an exit row, or we get those sharing
Speaker 3: al fly with the Delta non refundable first class tickets.
Speaker 3: We'll be up front. So I'm going to get as
Speaker 3: close to that forward door as I can because there's
Speaker 3: a ten minute lag between the time that door opens
Speaker 3: and the last person comes off the airplane, sometimes more
Speaker 3: than that, and on a tight connection, you need every
Speaker 3: minute you can get. But yeah, the more people do that,
Speaker 3: you know, shooting up the aisle, the more that people
Speaker 3: just kind of stand up and get out of their
Speaker 3: or getting their way, not to be mean, but simply
Speaker 3: to say, let's just wait your turn, because you've got
Speaker 3: other people that have tight connections as well. But for
Speaker 3: some strange reason, Brian, they it's all about me, and
Speaker 3: I don't care what other people think of me, And
Speaker 3: sadly some people think I'm never going to see these
Speaker 3: people again. So if I act like a horse's ass,
Speaker 3: in front of them.
Speaker 1: It's no big deal, right, societal break down, let's see. Well,
Speaker 1: at the risk of running over a little bit. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much attention we have to dive on
Speaker 1: into it, but I did see the announcement. I think
Speaker 1: most of my listeners did that. The TSA has announced
Speaker 1: that they're not going to require you to remove your shoes.
Speaker 1: So you're probably going to get to your gate a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier now without that headache.
Speaker 3: Well, your feet are going to be cleaner because you
Speaker 3: want to walk across that dirty floor to put your
Speaker 3: shoes back on, which is always especially in the summer
Speaker 3: with people wearing sandals, flip flops, different kinds of things
Speaker 3: as well, those floors can be fill see. Yes, I
Speaker 3: was glad to see it. We've been doing it for
Speaker 3: twenty years. But Brian, remember we did that because the
Speaker 3: old magnetometers had a dead spot at the bottom and
Speaker 3: the very top, so that if somebody kind of shuffled
Speaker 3: their feet through and they had something in their shoes,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't pick.
Speaker 1: It up like the shoe bomber guy.
Speaker 3: That's it. So the thought was, but you know, our
Speaker 3: technology has gotten better, and they're saying, look, there's really
Speaker 3: no reason need to do it, although they can always
Speaker 3: pull us out and do random or secondary screening where
Speaker 3: they may ask for our shoes to come off, and
Speaker 3: they'll continue to do that random. But yeah, this is
Speaker 3: going to speed things up quite a bit. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it was it was the right move.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, We'll bring Jay Ratler back talk about some
Speaker 1: other topics. Got some interesting ones on the list this morning.
Speaker 1: It's eight thirty five right now, fifty five k S
Speaker 1: detalk station Channa on the forecast, sunny day to day,
Speaker 1: maybe some isolated showers or storms later. Eighty six will
Speaker 1: be the high clear ofver night, seventy Tomorrow high on
Speaker 1: ninety with a slight chance of isolated rain in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: very humid tomorrow, seventy one overnight and also muggy clear
Speaker 1: skuys and Saturday, a decent chance for rain is what
Speaker 1: they're saying. They're also saying ninety one will be the
Speaker 1: high seventy three. Now. Traffic times.
Speaker 9: From the u SEE Health Traffic Center. You See Health
Speaker 9: has expert traumacare focusing on prevention and treating injuries and
Speaker 9: supporting long term recovery and rehabilitation. Learn more at you
Speaker 9: see health at dot com. We have a new accident
Speaker 9: on your two seventy five East ramp to seventy five South.
Speaker 9: The left lane is blocked. You're still stopping go because
Speaker 9: of an accident seventy five South ound at Fort Washington Way.
Speaker 9: The two right lanes are blocked. I'm Heather Pasco on
Speaker 9: fifty five KARC the talk station.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in the cockpit before?
Speaker 6: Jay?
Speaker 1: Has Jay Ray left? I heard me the aviation expert
Speaker 1: diving through the topics. I had a special request Jay
Speaker 1: the current status and I don't think they've released the report, Todavid,
Speaker 1: have you heard any updates on Air India Flight one
Speaker 1: seventy one. They just sort of took off and then
Speaker 1: just crashed right away.
Speaker 3: We've not and normally we have a briefing by now,
Speaker 3: but it's a little bit tardy. Apparently the report is
Speaker 3: out there and we should be updated anytime. So still
Speaker 3: kind of waiting to see what that preliminary report is
Speaker 3: going to indicate, And of course some of that will
Speaker 3: reflect some of the initial data gleaned off the two
Speaker 3: black boxes, yeah, voice recorder and the flight data recorder,
Speaker 3: and that's going to be very very interesting to see
Speaker 3: what we find out from there and kind of get
Speaker 3: an idea of the direction that the investigation could be taking.
Speaker 3: So yeah, nothing yet, but very anxious, and I'm hoping,
Speaker 3: obviously long before we talk again, we'll have some of
Speaker 3: those details if you need me before Thursday.
Speaker 1: Always asks, Oh, that's wonderful, very kind of you to offer,
Speaker 1: and that may very well happen, all right, moving forward,
Speaker 1: and these things do take time. I appreciate that they're
Speaker 1: not hasty to release any conclusions before they have something
Speaker 1: to hang their hat on, or at least to reach
Speaker 1: a reasonable conclusion. So over to British airways. One of
Speaker 1: the reasons I hate air travel is the idea that
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on a plane on the tarmac and it's
Speaker 1: not moving. It drives me crazy, Jay, It's like, I'm stuck.
Speaker 1: Why aren't we going somewhere. There's no way I could
Speaker 1: maintain my composure without a healthy dose of some kind
Speaker 1: of pharmaceutical in a seven hour delay under that circumstance.
Speaker 1: What's the story on this British airway thing?
Speaker 3: First of all, do you still do you have that
Speaker 3: same feeling when you're on the interstate going nowhere? In
Speaker 3: the high speed lane.
Speaker 1: You're just, yeah, that usually only kicks in if I
Speaker 1: really have to use the restroom.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the good news is you could have
Speaker 3: used the restroom on this British Airways flight. They were
Speaker 3: going from London over to the UK over to Poland,
Speaker 3: and what happened. They boarded everybody, they're getting ready to leave,
Speaker 3: and they had a fuse in the flight deck that
Speaker 3: controlled the air conditioning that kicked out, so they had
Speaker 3: to call them mechanics. That's okay, it's an easy fix,
Speaker 3: and they wanted to replace the fuse so they could
Speaker 3: get the air conditioning system back up and running. So
Speaker 3: they waited a bit, got up there, replaced the fuse.
Speaker 3: It tripped again, so they're thinking, okay, now you've got
Speaker 3: a full plane of passengers. Yeah, that could take forty
Speaker 3: five minutes to an hour to board. So the obvious
Speaker 3: thought is based on previous issues with this exact same component.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty easy fix, so you would never get
Speaker 3: everybody off the plane, fix it and then wait an
Speaker 3: hour to get everybody back on the plane before we
Speaker 3: could take off. The best approach is to go ahead
Speaker 3: and keep everybody on board so that you can get
Speaker 3: this fixed and immediately you can roll and take off.
Speaker 3: But the problem is you have to have a point
Speaker 3: at which you say enough is enough. So they kept
Speaker 3: trying and trying and trying to fix this issue, and
Speaker 3: you're right, they were on the plane for seven hours.
Speaker 3: They finally had to call in the fire department who
Speaker 3: came on board to treat some of the people that
Speaker 3: were passing out, and they said, look, the fumes in
Speaker 3: the cabin are toxic. Get everybody off this airplane now.
Speaker 3: So the seven hour nightmare didn't end because British Airways
Speaker 3: finally made the call. It's because the fire department got
Speaker 3: on board and said, get everybody off of this airplane now.
Speaker 3: As a passenger, I mean seven hours of going nowhere.
Speaker 1: No, okay. So they're on a plane with no air
Speaker 1: conditioning yep, this whole time.
Speaker 3: And I don't know they had no air conditioning or
Speaker 3: it was subdued air conditioning not working at full capacity.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but in the middle of the summer,
Speaker 3: let's hope they had something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to think, adding you know, further
Speaker 1: to a night already nightmarre situation, being stuck in an
Speaker 1: air airplane on the tarmac for that long. But you
Speaker 1: said the air quality was in there was dangerous to
Speaker 1: the fire department. Is that the amount of carbon dioxide
Speaker 1: that I mean was it? Was it along those lines
Speaker 1: or was there some kind of fumes in there?
Speaker 3: It was fumes that the air end of the cabin
Speaker 3: is a bleed off that comes out off the engines.
Speaker 3: It's part of the components of the aircraft. Where as
Speaker 3: you're flying, the fresh air is driven into the cabin
Speaker 3: through the engines. So that's how they keep things cool,
Speaker 3: recycled air. It's really it's really a super fascinating process
Speaker 3: as it's working. The problem is if you're not flying
Speaker 3: and you're sitting and you're idling, things change. And what
Speaker 3: was happening you were starting to have a build up
Speaker 3: of some of these fumes that were coming off the
Speaker 3: canon now and that's what was being raised ever so
Speaker 3: slightly at the time that for the for the fire
Speaker 3: department who walk into it, boom, it hits them in
Speaker 3: the face, versus somebody that's sitting there maybe accustomed to
Speaker 3: what was going on.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: That's why here in the United States there are significant
Speaker 3: fines from the Department of Transportation if a US carrier
Speaker 3: or another carrier brings passengers into the US and they
Speaker 3: are trapped on an airplane for up to three hours,
Speaker 3: because after that point in time, what's going to happen
Speaker 3: is they're going to be fined significantly for every passenger
Speaker 3: that's on board that aircraft. Now some of that was born,
Speaker 3: of course, out of the nightmare we had at Northwest
Speaker 3: Airlines back in the late nineties when there was a
Speaker 3: thunderstorm that should have closed the Detroit airport. They did not.
Speaker 3: That's not Northwest, that's the airport, and you had all
Speaker 3: these planes land and then all of a sudden, this
Speaker 3: blizzard thing comes through and you had airplanes stuck everywhere,
Speaker 3: and you had airplanes out there for nine ten eleven
Speaker 3: hours on the airplane trying to make it back to
Speaker 3: the terminal and simply too dangerous to taxi. And you know,
Speaker 3: they just kind of got snowed in everywhere. And that's
Speaker 3: when a little bit later they said, look, we've got
Speaker 3: to do something about this, and they did, and they've
Speaker 3: got some good rules in place.
Speaker 1: I guess good things can come from tragic events. Le's pause.
Speaker 1: Bring jayback about a lightning strike and a fire suppression
Speaker 1: system plus a battery fire. We've talked about the potential
Speaker 1: for that well one happened. Then we'll get a final
Speaker 1: close with hub delays. One more with Jay Ratliff. It's
Speaker 1: eight forty five right now, fifty five k s DE
Speaker 1: talk station. This story one more time with the Channel
Speaker 1: nine weather forecast. Sunny skies today, a few isolated showers
Speaker 1: and storms are possible. We'll reach eighty six for the high,
Speaker 1: down to seventy overnight with clear skies. Ninety the high Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: They'll be humid and I'll have a slight chance of
Speaker 1: isolator rain in the afternoon. It'll be clear overy night
Speaker 1: it'll be muggy as well. Seventy one for the well
Speaker 1: and Saturday going all the way up to ninety one
Speaker 1: and a decent chance of rain. Their predicting closing out
Speaker 1: at seventy four. Time for final traffic chucks from.

Speaker 9: It is stop and go because of a crash on
Speaker 9: I seventy five southbound at Fort Washington Way. The you
Speaker 9: right lanes are blocked. There's an accident on your two
Speaker 9: seventy five East ramp to seventy five South. There the
Speaker 9: left lane is blocked and we do have stop and
Speaker 9: go traffic seventy five South und hobbled for Washington Way.
Speaker 9: I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five KR see the talk station.
Speaker 1: Hey, forty nine fifty five CAIRCD talk station, finishing up
Speaker 1: with Jay Ratliff. I heard me the aviation expert. You
Speaker 1: hear them on pretty much all the iHeart stations. He's
Speaker 1: busy all week to in aviation reports, and God bless
Speaker 1: him for spending this extra time with us on the
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show. Got a lightning strike issue,
Speaker 1: little fire suppression foam going off at Spirit Airlines. Hangar,
Speaker 1: what's this one all about? Jay?
Speaker 3: Spirit can buy a break. I'm telling you if their
Speaker 3: life depended on it. They've got a rather large and
Speaker 3: impressive maintenance facility at Detroit. They spent it was thirty
Speaker 3: two million dollars. They built around twenty seventeen. Is one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty six thousand square feet. It's where they
Speaker 3: work on their aircraft and things, but it contains a
Speaker 3: very aggressive fire suppression system. Well, we had a lightning
Speaker 3: storm this week that triggered that fire suppression system. There
Speaker 3: wasn't a fire, but it thought there was and that's
Speaker 3: when the foam was let go and Brian, it went everywhere,
Speaker 3: no partially burying. Five planes had to be taken out
Speaker 3: of service for inspection. Actually started to ooze out onto
Speaker 3: the tarmac. It looked like snow as it kind of
Speaker 3: oozed out of the hangar. It was everywhere, and some
Speaker 3: of this is a bit corrosive, so it's not the
Speaker 3: kind of thing you just, you know, chive the kids
Speaker 3: in and say go play. So what happens is you've
Speaker 3: got this massive cleanup and then you have to inspect
Speaker 3: the airplanes that were there. I think they took three
Speaker 3: or four of them out of service just to make
Speaker 3: sure that nothing adyonics wise was compromised with that particular situation.
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm sure they test that fire suppression
Speaker 3: system every so often. I don't think quite to this extent.
Speaker 3: But if you get the chance, you can google the
Speaker 3: image on Spirit Airlines of the hangar and you'll see
Speaker 3: exactly what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: It was everywhere, Oh and talking about a costly cleanup
Speaker 1: in addition to the delays and everything went along with that. Jeez, Luiz,
Speaker 1: I can only imagine, you know.
Speaker 3: Hopefully they can, yes, Spiarson trying to turn things around,
Speaker 3: and I don't think that picture is going to make
Speaker 3: it to their company calendar for next year. But they've
Speaker 3: got insurance for stuff.
Speaker 1: I just gotta say that, you're right that definitely.
Speaker 3: As long as nobody got hurt, you know, we we
Speaker 3: can look at it and kind of guk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, except for their self insured retention, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: is rather substantial when you're talking about a big company
Speaker 1: like that. All right, Moving over to a battery fire.
Speaker 1: You and I have talked about this before. The the
Speaker 1: what lithium ion battery in this case was it or
Speaker 1: some other battery.
Speaker 5: That was it?
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. Here we go again. We
Speaker 3: had a federal aviation a Federal Aviation Administration. Excuse me,
Speaker 3: they're investigating a battery fire. It was a Delta Airlines
Speaker 3: seven to fifty seven. It was flying from Atlanta to
Speaker 3: Fort Lauderdale. During the course of the flight, one of
Speaker 3: the batteries started to overheat. So what we had to
Speaker 3: have to do is the flight attendants go from flight
Speaker 3: attendants to firefight. They have the fire spression bags, the procedures,
Speaker 3: they're able to quickly contain it, but as the cabin
Speaker 3: was being filled with smoke. So you've got the flight
Speaker 3: crew that in the meantime is declaring an emergency landing
Speaker 3: in Fort Myers. And this is again just another of
Speaker 3: the bazilion examples we've had around the world of these
Speaker 3: things overheating representing a very real safety hazard to commercial aviation,
Speaker 3: and that's one of the reasons that the Federal Aviation
Speaker 3: Administration has banned the Samsung Galaxy seven. I think we
Speaker 3: talked about the Phone sixteen, and Brian I suspect there's
Speaker 3: going to be more. There's no way that we can
Speaker 3: continue to allow these types of real risks on board
Speaker 3: airplanes where it takes us fifteen or twenty minutes to
Speaker 3: land that airplane in an emergency because there's no way
Speaker 3: to put a fire out. That's one of the reasons
Speaker 3: if one of these devices gets stuck in a seat,
Speaker 3: you see panic on the flight right because they know
Speaker 3: if it starts to catch on fire, they don't have
Speaker 3: a protocol. They can't extendish something that big. That's why
Speaker 3: the aircraft will immediately declare an emergency and get they'll
Speaker 3: get that airplane on the ground fast because they're worried
Speaker 3: about it starting the smolder catching on fire and their
Speaker 3: inability to contain it and then providing a huge safety
Speaker 3: issue on board that airplane. So do we wait for
Speaker 3: an accident before we take a bigger step or are
Speaker 3: we going to do something now? It's going to be
Speaker 3: up to the FA to see what they want to do.
Speaker 1: But well, goodness, yeah, a logical and reasonable solution. And
Speaker 1: you and I have talked a little bit about this before,
Speaker 1: but it seems that okay, there is such a thing
Speaker 1: as a fire suppression bag, and I know they make
Speaker 1: these small path you know, like Faraday cage pouches that
Speaker 1: people put their cell phones in to prevent you know,
Speaker 1: anybody from tracking them or whatever. If you could have
Speaker 1: a fire suppression bag and have the passengers obligated to
Speaker 1: keep their phones in that bag or have that right
Speaker 1: there with them, to the extent they have to get
Speaker 1: it out and use it for any particular reason, it
Speaker 1: would negate to a large extent the larger problems like
Speaker 1: fumes filling up the cabin and maybe a bigger fire happening.
Speaker 1: It just would cost money.
Speaker 3: Yep. Well, you also are going to recognize there's no
Speaker 3: way on God's green earth that you're going to pry
Speaker 3: those cell phones out of people's hands. They're going to
Speaker 3: have them the entire time, and they're gonna not keep
Speaker 3: them in any sort of the bag, and they're not
Speaker 3: going to follow the instructions. You know, that is that's
Speaker 3: how people are. It's like, take my kids, but you know,
Speaker 3: let me keep my phone. That's how precious these things
Speaker 3: are an individual. So yeah, the idea of trying to
Speaker 3: eliminate them from every flight, it's not something we can
Speaker 3: do practically because that's just not going to happen. But
Speaker 3: we've got to do something because you can look at
Speaker 3: an aircraft. There's pictures. I forget the International carrier that
Speaker 3: had one of these battery fires that got out of control.
Speaker 3: They were at the gate, briant burned off the entire
Speaker 3: top of the aircraft. Now there's a video that's some
Speaker 3: kids going through an airport with a phone in his
Speaker 3: backpack and it catches on fire and within seconds the
Speaker 3: entire backpack is on fire. These things burned hot, they
Speaker 3: burn quick, and they are dangerous and it's something that
Speaker 3: you know when you're talking about safety and aviation. It's
Speaker 3: one of the biggest concerns we have right now. That's
Speaker 3: why Southwest Airlines says, if you're going to charge your battery,
Speaker 3: you have to do it where you can see it.
Speaker 3: Don't have it charging in an overhead bin that might
Speaker 3: catch on fire, smolder, and we don't know about it
Speaker 3: until it's a bigger issue. You're seeing different airlines take
Speaker 3: different positions to try to combat it to one degree
Speaker 3: or another. But all we're doing is taking half steps
Speaker 3: to the measure and a lot more has got to
Speaker 3: be done. And yeah, every week you and I are
Speaker 3: talking about this crazy all right.
Speaker 1: As we always end conclude with hub delays. How's it
Speaker 1: looking out there for air travel?
Speaker 3: Jay, Yeah, people heading to the airport connecting in Minneapolis,
Speaker 3: New York, Atlanta, Charlotte, those forced hubs are certainly going
Speaker 3: to give you a delay. But I think Boston's the
Speaker 3: clear problem child of the day. Lots of weather when
Speaker 3: limited visibilities, and some of those flight delays are going
Speaker 3: to be excessive through Boston. But if you went through
Speaker 3: to the south or anywhere out west in pretty good
Speaker 3: shape and less of course your planes being routed through
Speaker 3: one of these cities before it reaches you. But as always,
Speaker 3: get to the airport extra early two hours before him
Speaker 3: at waifers any problems, the agents have an opportunity to take.
Speaker 6: Care of you.
Speaker 1: Think advanced, take care of yourself. Nobody else else out
Speaker 1: looking for your best interest more than you are. Jay Ratliffe,
Speaker 1: thanks for all the sound advice, sage, wisdom and interesting
Speaker 1: conversation every week beginning at eight thirty on Thursdays. I'm
Speaker 1: looking for to next Thursday already, my friend is always
