Speaker 3: news smithman's running for council? Well really, he said, yeah,
Speaker 3: I knew about it last week. I was keeping a
Speaker 3: lid on it until he talked with someone from the Inquirer.
Speaker 3: So I figure it's common news. Apparently it is common news.
Speaker 3: Joe Drecker knew about it last week. He didn't let
Speaker 3: me know. Christopher, what's up? I thought we were friends.
Speaker 3: Seven twenty for the Smith from the former vice mayor

Speaker 3: friends from Emory Federal Credit Union, Todd Kine, CEO of

Speaker 3: to ask Todd about that. But we'll also learn about
Speaker 3: the golf outing coming up very quickly, Rose Cares since
Speaker 3: Ava returns. We'll get a recap of the Voa Country
Speaker 3: Music Fight Festival, and then yes, the Veteran Appreciation Day
Speaker 3: coming up on August twenty third, and man Ton is
Speaker 3: flying Jeez Louise anyway five three seven, four nine fifty
Speaker 3: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talko with
Speaker 3: Pound five fifty on at and t phones. Someone else
Speaker 3: who's running for since I City Council. Steve Gooden, our
Speaker 3: legal expert from the law firm Report Variety, chimes in
Speaker 3: on matters legal all the time. You're in the fifty
Speaker 3: five carsis morning show. Brilliant man he is, and an
Speaker 3: outstanding candidate for since I City Council. An alternative to
Speaker 3: the same old, same old that we've been engaged in
Speaker 3: now for what seems like forty years. Anyway, he posted
Speaker 3: on his Facebook post, I just spent some time with
Speaker 3: West End residents who described what happened last night. This
Speaker 3: post from yesterday, so I'm assuming he's talking about Saturday night.
Speaker 3: We wouldn't know because there's been no reporting on this.
Speaker 3: He says fifty to sixty shots fired along Clark Street
Speaker 3: by the football field, hitting park cars in at least
Speaker 3: one house, showing a picture of a bullet that passed
Speaker 3: through the taped window. Said automatic gunfire. No arrests, not
Speaker 3: in any stats. And along with that he posted I
Speaker 3: guess some stats from Thursday. Wow, lots of crime going
Speaker 3: on in downtown Cincinnati. Got an assault Walnut Street close
Speaker 3: to three pm. I don't know what other is in
Speaker 3: terms of the crime stat it's got to leave that go.
Speaker 3: Got an arrest at five point thirty Garfield Place, assault
Speaker 3: on the seventh again three pm, East Court Street, assault
Speaker 3: nine thirteenth Street, and Walnut robbery. This is all again Thursday,
Speaker 3: ten pm Central Parkway theft, twelve am Third Street, Cincinnati arrest,
Speaker 3: ten ten am Central Avenue at McFarlane. Got an assault
Speaker 3: going on seven pm on Vine Street in CINCINNAI. Robbery
Speaker 3: Vine Street happened at one twenty eight am. Assault going
Speaker 3: on seven pm Vine Street, and finally an assault four
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning Walnut at East fifth one day,
Speaker 3: small area of City of Cincinnati too addressed by that
Speaker 3: crime anyway, don't know anything about the fifty to sixty
Speaker 3: shots fired again, Steve Gooden on that one. What else
Speaker 3: is going on? Sincinni officials reviewing allegations from the Fraternal
Speaker 3: Order of Police. That's what Ken kober is going to
Speaker 3: be talking about, calling for Iris Rawley to be fired.
Speaker 3: They circulating an online petition which was started by Ken Cobra.
Speaker 3: Petition alleges that Iris Rawley quote has been caught on
Speaker 3: bodycam multiple times harassing police officers for just doing their jobs.
Speaker 3: As of yesterday morning, already twenty nine hundred signatures their
Speaker 3: goal five thousand signatures. You can help out sign the
Speaker 3: petition court a petition despite clear misconduct, the city continues
Speaker 3: to fund her contract with taxpayer dollars. And it's so far.
Speaker 3: I got to interject, insofar as misconduct is concerned, if
Speaker 3: you or I interfered with an officer doing his or
Speaker 3: her job, don't you think we will be subject to
Speaker 3: some sort of citation, maybe get arrested. Can you imagine
Speaker 3: the police interacting with Iris Raleigh, who perhaps was worthy
Speaker 3: of a citation for her interference with police doing their
Speaker 3: duty imagine it's a bit difficult for a police officer
Speaker 3: to actually consider issuing her a citation, considering her outspoken advocacy,
Speaker 3: her connection with elected officials, including the mayor's office and
Speaker 3: the city manager she's employed by them, and her outspoking
Speaker 3: advocacy against the police department generally speaking. H Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: sure she'd call for an investigation into you, police officer
Speaker 3: for issuing her a citation that she may have been
Speaker 3: worthy of getting anyway. On the petition, the Fraternal Order
Speaker 3: Police posted a couple of body camera videos showing Raleigh
Speaker 3: harassing cops allegedly. They also posted an appearance Raleigh made
Speaker 3: on podcasts where she quote, wasted no time berating a
Speaker 3: retire I heard Cincinnati police officer and others on the
Speaker 3: show close quote that's on the petition website. FOP also
Speaker 3: posted the videos on the organization's Facebook page, one post
Speaker 3: claiming Raleigh is not a collaborator, instead calling her an agitator.
Speaker 3: We entered the realm of subjectivity. Uh thank you, Molly
Speaker 3: Shram the CPO for reporting Friday Rally responded to petition
Speaker 3: and claims the harassment with statements from her attorney. Actually
Speaker 3: one of the body came ravi is she asked the
Speaker 3: man who's being asked at the time by a Sinceinn
Speaker 3: police officer to pour out his beer if he'd liked
Speaker 3: to file a complaint against the officer. Huh, right then
Speaker 3: and there while he's the officer is doing his job
Speaker 3: or her job anyway, the attorney said. Video circulated by
Speaker 3: the FOP members and a recent called to we assign
Speaker 3: a petition have targeted Miss Rawleigh for encouraging a community
Speaker 3: member to follow follow a formal complain procedures and questioning
Speaker 3: an officer's response, which have long been part of her
Speaker 3: community centered approach to better policing in this city and
Speaker 3: are within her rights to free speech and advocacy outside
Speaker 3: her formal service for the city. Oh, she wasn't acting
Speaker 3: in her capacity as an advisor to the city when
Speaker 3: she was doing this.
Speaker 4: Humph huh.
Speaker 3: But it is consistent with and does flow from her
Speaker 3: position relative to the Cincinnati Police Department in her role
Speaker 3: as some sort of consultant for the city. The statement
Speaker 3: from her attorney also says that her decades long role
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati has, in their words or his or her words,
Speaker 3: always involved evaluating police conduct and supporting community voices about
Speaker 3: policing in the city. Statement also says the fop's allegations
Speaker 3: have led to hate messages and threats to rally her
Speaker 3: family and business. We'll join the club. Yeah, that street
Speaker 3: runs more than one way. How many conservatives out there
Speaker 3: have received hate messages and threats? A lot of them.
Speaker 3: Welcome to social media, Welcome to you know, your outspoken
Speaker 3: advocacy against the police department having some repercussions among those
Speaker 3: of us who do support law enforcement. Apparently been a
Speaker 3: consultant with the City Managers Office since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: Guess she does work helping Cincinnati implement its Collaborative Agreement,
Speaker 3: which goes all the way back to the riots in
Speaker 3: two thousand and one. If I recall correctly, She was
Speaker 3: one of the organizers in bringing about the collaborative agreement.
Speaker 3: Also described as a prominent longtime organizer with the Cincinnati
Speaker 3: Black United Front. Telling the popular People's You Front Joe
Speaker 3: campaign Free Galilee Anyway. Molly shram Over at CBO described
Speaker 3: that as a social justice collective. Enjoy your own conclusions.
Speaker 3: For her part, since they manager share a long in
Speaker 3: responsible way. A request from WCPO for a statement describe
Speaker 3: her as an essential community and civic leader in Cincinnati. Essential.
Speaker 3: Her contributions spanned from origins of the Collaborative Agreement to
Speaker 3: her commitment to problem solving resulting in support for teens
Speaker 3: at our transit center. She consistently sets up organized steps
Speaker 3: up to organize effective strategies and raises her hand to
Speaker 3: support the community when others don't. However, in spite of
Speaker 3: her praise for Irish Rowle, a city manager, Long had
Speaker 3: this to say, anyone doing work on behalf of the
Speaker 3: city of Cincinnati must hold themselves to a higher standard.
Speaker 3: That includes not interfering with the police who are in
Speaker 3: the act of performing their lawful duties. Can't let that
Speaker 3: go unaddressed, Sharyl Long, Canyon right, because it's the one
Speaker 3: thing in your statement that really makes sense. Don't mess
Speaker 3: around with police during their duties five sixteen fifty five
Speaker 3: KRC The Talk Station five one, three, seven, four nine,
Speaker 3: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three Talk
Speaker 3: found five fifty on at and T Funds. Love to
Speaker 3: hear from you. You got something to say, feel free to
Speaker 3: call me right back.
Speaker 5: Fifty five KRC The talk Station Talkstation. Well maybe he's
Speaker 5: not running for counsel. Asking about the idea of it,
Speaker 5: Christopher Smith. We'll find out together coming up at seven twenty.
Speaker 3: I hope he is. What do you think should Christopher
Speaker 3: run for counsel? Maybe he's not decided yet. We had
Speaker 3: a pretty definitive confirmation yesterday. We'll see what he has
Speaker 3: to say. Apparently called into Dustrekker and said I did
Speaker 3: not announce and I was running. So uh, swirling question
Speaker 3: marks regarding the candidacy of Christopher Smith. Aman anyway, demonstrably
Speaker 3: man and of course a voice of common sense and reason.
Speaker 3: I think you've be a welcome edition five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 3: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three
Speaker 3: talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone. What
Speaker 3: else is going on in the Greater CINCINNTI area? Well,
Speaker 3: the Hamilton County Associated Association of Chiefs of Police chiming
Speaker 3: in on one of the problems we've identified here in
Speaker 3: this city, which is the judicial component of the criminal
Speaker 3: justice system. If you don't have judges willing to set
Speaker 3: appropriate bonds, put people in jail for appropriate periods of
Speaker 3: times for heinous crimes, they have committed recidivist criminals coming
Speaker 3: in and going through the revolving door of the criminal
Speaker 3: justice system. You get the best police department, fully staffed
Speaker 3: out in the world. You could have the best prosecutor's office.
Speaker 3: You whether we've got one of those, you can draw
Speaker 3: your own conclusions. But prosecutors wanting to prosecute criminals to
Speaker 3: the fullest extent of the law end up in front
Speaker 3: of some liberal, woke judge and that's the end of
Speaker 3: the process. So that's an epic failure. As far as
Speaker 3: the Hamilton County Association of Chiefs Police, they're calling out
Speaker 3: what they describe as gaps in the judicial process. Statement
Speaker 3: released last week August eighth, they said it's not good
Speaker 3: enough to arrest violent offenders if they're swiftly released back
Speaker 3: into our neighborhoods due to lacks bail practices or insufficient
Speaker 3: sentencing amen. They announced they will be hosting a roundtable
Speaker 3: discussion within the next month with members of the judiciary, prosecutors,
Speaker 3: elected officials, and other partners about ways to strengthen public safety.
Speaker 3: Good Camera Knight since they inquire reporting, appreciated Cameron pointing
Speaker 3: out criticism of the judges not new before. Connie Pilich
Speaker 3: elected the Prosecutor's office. Formerly the Prosecutor's Office would post
Speaker 3: the cases and judges on Facebook, pointing out well the
Speaker 3: sentences and while highlighting judges who set bonds that they
Speaker 3: believe were too lower lenient. Joe Dieters and Melissa Powers
Speaker 3: both did this, In other words, real time accurate reporting
Speaker 3: information so we the public could make informed decisions when
Speaker 3: we go into the ballot box in November. They don't
Speaker 3: do that anymore. Police data and going back to Steve
Speaker 3: Gooden on this post about fifty to sixty shots fired
Speaker 3: to pointed out no arrest and not in any police statistics.
Speaker 3: So if you have an incident involving fifty to sisity
Speaker 3: sixty shots fired and it's not reported on any of
Speaker 3: the police statistics, how reliable are the police data? Is
Speaker 3: the police data anyway? Caver Knight reporting the police data
Speaker 3: shows rates as some crimes are up, others have fallen.
Speaker 3: Robberies are up nine percent year to date, three more
Speaker 3: homicides year to date, however, aggravated assault down six percent
Speaker 3: and shootings are down twenty four percent. H do you
Speaker 3: feel safe in downtown Cincinnati? Chief? Fiji Police Chief Dji
Speaker 3: recently echoed the remarks of the Chiefs Association saying, part
Speaker 3: of the problem is, Yeah, that's the revolving door of justice.
Speaker 3: Claim your office too often put themselves at risk to
Speaker 3: get criminals off the street, to see them released with
Speaker 3: little consequence. How are we going to get the word
Speaker 3: out about judges? I mean, you can rely on the
Speaker 3: fifty five Caurasy Morning Show to the extent I have
Speaker 3: information about who's running and who's not running. I know
Speaker 3: how difficult it is if you're not engaged in the
Speaker 3: criminal justice system to have any awareness about the leanings
Speaker 3: of the judges and whether heart or whether they're tough
Speaker 3: on crime or soft on crime. Anyway, Chiefs Association set
Speaker 3: the goal of the upcoming roundtable to review the impact
Speaker 3: of current bail reform policies promoting consistent sentencing and building
Speaker 3: transparency and public confidence in the judicial system. That's a
Speaker 3: high mark. Let's be clear, they wrote, we will not
Speaker 3: allow the dedication and sacrifice of our law enforcement professionals
Speaker 3: to be rendered meaningless by systemic failures or the absence
Speaker 3: of shared responsibility. Well, one can only hope they can
Speaker 3: bear that their efforts can bear some fruit. If you're
Speaker 3: a woke jurist. I'm not sure pressure from law enforcement
Speaker 3: really change the hearts in or your heart and mind.
Speaker 3: It remains to be seen, but therein lies one of
Speaker 3: the biggest challenges we face. Sounds like law enforcements stepping up.
Speaker 3: We've got some pronouncements from the mayor and the city
Speaker 3: council members in the aftermath of that June or July
Speaker 3: twenty sixth beat down. Sounds like they're promising to get
Speaker 3: tough on crime, paying lip service to the idea anyway.
Speaker 3: They have no control over the judiciary. Honestly, neither does
Speaker 3: this group that are putting together, This group of folks
Speaker 3: that are the haven't kind of association of chief of
Speaker 3: police is putting together the harumph over this subject matter.
Speaker 3: The judges aren't willing to heed your advice and your recommendations.
Speaker 3: It's all probably an exercise and wheel spinning. Five twenty

Speaker 3: jump over to the phones. Tom, Welcome back, my friend.
Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 7: Good warnings.
Speaker 8: You have a good weekend?
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I actually did.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's good. I don't think i've yeah to hear
Speaker 8: you say you had a bad weekend. Weekends are good
Speaker 8: just by definition, aren't they?
Speaker 3: Yes? They are because I can sleep in and for
Speaker 3: no other reason, and maybe I didn't do anything, but
Speaker 3: I did get to sleep in, which I dearly love.
Speaker 8: So right, Well, yeah, well sleep sleeping in for you
Speaker 8: is uh, it doesn't mean it's it's getting up bet
Speaker 8: later or something. So you got pretty early.
Speaker 3: Paul that'll get up at like six o'clock in the
Speaker 3: morning on Saturday because the dog insists, and she is
Speaker 3: kind enough to not involve me in that process. So
Speaker 3: I get to STARp, stay in bed and do the
Speaker 3: nom nom nom nam thing. I think about getting up,
Speaker 3: and usually it's like eight o'clock, maybe eight thirty before
Speaker 3: actually crawling a bed on.
Speaker 8: Oh that's sleeping man, you're yeah, that's usually your show's
Speaker 8: about over and you're you're just getting up. That's awesome,
Speaker 8: It is so good for you.
Speaker 9: I can't.
Speaker 8: I can't do that anymore. I can't sleep in that late.
Speaker 8: So I'm if I'm still in bed by seven o'clock,
Speaker 8: that's a miracle. So I just can't later. So anyway,
Speaker 8: this whole thing with the you were just talking about
Speaker 8: with the judges and stuff, and and all this hand
Speaker 8: ringing by the left of of everything that's wrong with society,
Speaker 8: and one of the biggest things they screamed about, and
Speaker 8: they happened for a while is racism. And I really
Speaker 8: think that what should happen is is that a bunch
Speaker 8: of the black community leaders should get together and acknowledge
Speaker 8: the fact, the fact Brian Thomas that racism is not
Speaker 8: going on near to the extent as they claim it is.
Speaker 8: But of course if they do that, then that means
Speaker 8: they get rid of all the fuel and all the
Speaker 8: alleged wind behind their sales of scream and bloody murder
Speaker 8: and how bad everybody is. You know something I found
Speaker 8: interesting There was a allegedly there was a video clip
Speaker 8: that came out about that July twenty sixth feet down
Speaker 8: that you reference, and it was allegedly had somebody yelling
Speaker 8: or some people yelling the N word, and I didn't
Speaker 8: hear any more about it. I don't know if you
Speaker 8: brought this up, but obviously they could not link that
Speaker 8: whatever was being said to a white person. Therefore it
Speaker 8: just doesn't exist anymore. I guess does it really matter
Speaker 8: if I hear anybody anybody else complain about the use
Speaker 8: of the end word, anyone from the black community complain
Speaker 8: about the use of the end word. I'm so fed
Speaker 8: up with that the black community. And of course this
Speaker 8: is not every black person, so relax if you're out
Speaker 8: every black person feels this way. But enough black people
Speaker 8: out there are fine with it, and their music, they're
Speaker 8: fine with it when they're talking amongst themselves. But as
Speaker 8: soon as someone who's too white uses that word, apparently
Speaker 8: it's the end of the world. I don't use the word.
Speaker 8: I don't know if I've ever used it. I'm not
Speaker 8: going to. I agree it's derogatory, shouldn't be used, and
Speaker 8: I don't want to get myself in that kind of trouble.
Speaker 8: But come on, the hypocrisy is absolutely ridiculous and all that.
Speaker 8: And that's just one example of how the left uses
Speaker 8: things to their benefit that that aren't even true. They
Speaker 8: lie just to try to get their way and push
Speaker 8: things around.
Speaker 4: Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Tom. Yeah, I hear different reactions in
Speaker 3: terms of the use of the ND word, particularly in music.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's pervasive in music. If you listen to music,
Speaker 3: it's there, it is. And yeah, i've heard commentators. Black
Speaker 3: commentators know white people are not allowed to sing along
Speaker 3: or use that word in any context whatsoever. In spite
Speaker 3: of the fact you can find the use of that
Speaker 3: word all over the place, and you know, hip hop
Speaker 3: and rap and other you know, musical forms. It's ownership's claim.
Speaker 3: The black community owns the word. No one else is
Speaker 3: allowed it's exclusive use. I noticed that they've actually, I suppose,
Speaker 3: in some way, shape or form, sort of transformed that
Speaker 3: word from a derogatory term whites used against black people,
Speaker 3: and it's acceptable to use under certain circumstances in the
Speaker 3: black community, never acceptable in the white community. Just rather
Speaker 3: interesting social reality that one can't comment on the brawl.
Speaker 3: Don't know who used the word or even if it
Speaker 3: was used. Here is a strange, strange local story here
Speaker 3: pedestrian dead after a crash happened on Friday night near Dayton.
Speaker 3: Pedestrian was trying to get away from a couple of dogs.
Speaker 3: According to the high State Highway Patrol troopers, they said
Speaker 3: they were called a nine thirty am for a crash
Speaker 3: on Lower Valley Pike near Cloverdale Road, Clark County. Plimentary
Speaker 3: investigation shows that Donel Sanning, who's thirty five from New Carlisle,
Speaker 3: driving her Chevy Cruise on Lower Valley Pike.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 3: The pedestrian Jason Kappanera, forty six years old from Yonkers,
Speaker 3: New York, walking northeast on the shoulder of the road
Speaker 3: when the two dogs from a nearby house ran across
Speaker 3: the street, jumping on to the pedestrian trippers say he
Speaker 3: then tried to escape toward the road and was hit
Speaker 3: along with one of the dogs by the Chevy to
Speaker 3: Mercy Health in Nan, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Speaker 3: Troopers report of the dogs sustained minor injuries. The Chevy
Speaker 3: drivers that stayed at the scene and had no injuries.
Speaker 3: They're still investigating the crash. Jeez, dogs chase them out
Speaker 3: in the street. That's the end. Say call your mom,
Speaker 3: tell your loved ones you love them. Be sure you
Speaker 3: do that. You never know, never know when the bell's
Speaker 3: gonna toll. Five thirty five fifty five KRC DE Talk station.
Speaker 3: Stack o stupid or phone calls. We can go either way.
Speaker 3: Be right back.
Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 3: Five thirty nine on a Monday, Happy one to you
Speaker 3: a stack of stupid, but I do a phone call
Speaker 3: at least one five one, three, seven, fifty five, eight
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty two to three talk from Fix My Road,
Speaker 3: Fame Fred, Welcome back to the fifty five carssee morning show,
Speaker 3: my friend. Good to hear for you today.
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning.
Speaker 4: Hey.
Speaker 9: Let me start off. I gave you some more praise
Speaker 9: my best friend. I went to UC to get his
Speaker 9: frost State image and they gave him I think that's
Speaker 9: it over nine thousand. So he went to your place.
Speaker 9: I told him, he said, she uh. They came right
Speaker 9: up until he paid less than a thousand dollars affordable
Speaker 9: image phrase on that first. You know, you know, I
Speaker 9: hate starting out doing this.
Speaker 3: No, you're listen. You helped a friend save a heaplow
Speaker 3: of money. Fred. I mean, I'm happy to spread the
Speaker 3: news about it. That's one of the reasons I'm so
Speaker 3: proud to be able to sponsor him, because I love
Speaker 3: to save that kind of money and I love being
Speaker 3: It's like recommending something to a friend. I get to
Speaker 3: do it, and I'm it's a paid sponsor, but you know,
Speaker 3: it makes me please to do that. And I'm happy
Speaker 3: you saved six grand. I'm happy your friends save what
Speaker 3: sounds like eight thousand dollars. That's real money, man.
Speaker 9: Man, Okay. In the second thing, you know, and this
Speaker 9: is the last time I called about race or anything
Speaker 9: like this, but I just want people to know that.
Speaker 9: You know, I'm an older black man and I have
Speaker 9: older black friends and all different friends. But anyway, we
Speaker 9: do think independently. We don't follow our sharpening. We don't
Speaker 9: follow the NAACP. We know they're watching the TV looking
Speaker 9: for something to happen, to pop out of the shadows.
Speaker 4: We already know.
Speaker 9: This, and we just don't. We just want people to
Speaker 9: know and understand. Listen, every time you come saying what
Speaker 9: black people should do is upsets us because you you
Speaker 9: locked us in a.
Speaker 4: Small group of people.
Speaker 9: And I just want people to understand that, Look.
Speaker 8: We think independently.
Speaker 7: It's just a few of us, very few.
Speaker 9: That you see out there, because I'm sure that people
Speaker 9: work with a whole lot of other you know, black
Speaker 9: or asking every way you want.
Speaker 4: To be called.
Speaker 9: That don't have the same fault as everybody else. And
Speaker 9: I just want people to say, look, don't paint with
Speaker 9: a broad brush, you know, get a smaller brush, you please,
Speaker 9: I don't group us, what's everybody else? And I appreciate
Speaker 9: you man, and you have a great date.
Speaker 3: Thanks Fred. I appreciate your statement. And I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've tried to be consistent in my attitude
Speaker 3: toward painting with a broadbrush, and I don't abide by that.
Speaker 3: And I share Fred's observations. I don't believe anyone in
Speaker 3: the black communities let's monolithic, all one size fits all lockstep.
Speaker 3: But isn't an interesting observation on the heels of Fred's
Speaker 3: comment that we're in the middle of this jerry mandering
Speaker 3: debate and that they are so convinced, are political officials
Speaker 3: they're so convinced by drawing a different line they can
Speaker 3: guarantee an outcome on whether it's going to be a
Speaker 3: Republican or Democrat victory. I don't say they guarantee that outcome,
Speaker 3: but it's a foregone conclusion, which meaning, which means those
Speaker 3: elected officials who are busily redrawing maps are taken into
Speaker 3: account the historic reality that, in spite of Fred's comments
Speaker 3: that there is this sort of lockstep, unanimous well Democrat
Speaker 3: vote that comes from within the Black community, they know
Speaker 3: by redrawing the lines that they're going to guarantee whether
Speaker 3: it's going to be a Republican or Democrat in office.
Speaker 3: It's frightening stuff. Would it be a wild thing if,
Speaker 3: after they get done redrawing the maps, that the public,
Speaker 3: who ultimately votes independent of mind, decides to go a
Speaker 3: different direction and deprives whichever political parties redrawing the lines
Speaker 3: of their guaranteed victory. Huh, that would be cool, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: It'd be cool if it was either Republican or Democrat
Speaker 3: redistricting anyway over the sack and stupid got a man
Speaker 3: in Texas accused of approaching young girls in an elementary
Speaker 3: school parking lot wearing only a diaper and pacifier around
Speaker 3: his neck. Why are you doing that? You may have
Speaker 3: an order to give out this morning, Joe. According to
Speaker 3: police report, two girls riding bikes and scooters to the
Speaker 3: neighborhood when they notice the silver vehicle following them, stopping.
Speaker 3: When they stopped on the way home, they notice forty
Speaker 3: five year old Wesley Warrels in the vehicle the parking
Speaker 3: lot of the Andywoods Elementary School. Cord to the affidavit,
Speaker 3: World then got out, wearing only a diaper, shouted quote,
Speaker 3: Goo goo gaga, I need a diaper change. Close quote
Speaker 3: there's no flag for us. Girls rode away, quickly approaching
Speaker 3: their family home, where a man and his son were
Speaker 3: working in the garage. Man said the girls rode up
Speaker 3: so fast they skinned their knees, claiming a scary man
Speaker 3: their words, was chasing them, so I went searching for
Speaker 3: the vehicle described while the vehicle they described while a
Speaker 3: woman in the home attempted to calm the girls, who
Speaker 3: were visibly shaking and truly terrified. According to the rest
Speaker 3: report details. Girls then told her the man had asked
Speaker 3: the girls, will you change my diaper for me? What? Thus,
Speaker 3: Gater's labeled to identify Worl as the suspect and arrested
Speaker 3: them in his place of work. Arrested charge with criminal
Speaker 3: solicitation of a minor, criminal trespass, in addition to several
Speaker 3: other charges and accusations going all the way back to
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine, back when he was seen watching children
Speaker 3: in the daycare. When questioned by tyle of police back
Speaker 3: in ninety nine, he reported he was only changing his
Speaker 3: diaper here that looney, amen Joe. Fast forward to twenty
Speaker 3: two two thousand and two, were el seen looking into
Speaker 3: apartment windows. Questioned by police, he admitted to watching small
Speaker 3: children in a daycare. Two thousand and five, arrested for
Speaker 3: stalking his ex girlfriend, sentenced to five years probation. Also
Speaker 3: two thousand and five, caught watching a woman near a pool,
Speaker 3: given a criminal trespass warning November of that year, given
Speaker 3: a criminal trespass warning after being seen watching children from
Speaker 3: behind a tree and six six reported walking around Walmart
Speaker 3: on Broadway looking at children and women with his hands
Speaker 3: inside his shorts. Draw your own conclusions. When questioned by police,
Speaker 3: he was said he was checking to see if he
Speaker 3: had soiled his diaper, would.
Speaker 4: Get deliberate penalties, so we could get into the penalty
Speaker 4: box all by himself.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 3: Prosecuted for November five and six July cases, sentenced to
Speaker 3: seven years in prison. Twenty twelve, police received word that
Speaker 3: he whorl had exposed himself to a child at a
Speaker 3: Walmart troop Highway World and that died exposing himself. Admitted
Speaker 3: to showing his diaper, given another criminal trustpass warning for
Speaker 3: that one. Arrested in October twenty sixteen for criminal trespass
Speaker 3: in July twenty five, caught on surveillance going to Walmart
Speaker 3: on several different dates. Walmart's manager expressed a desire to
Speaker 3: pursue criminal charges. Wow Goo go Gaga, I need a
Speaker 3: diaper change series. The biggest douche of the universe, in
Speaker 3: all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than you. You've
Speaker 3: reached the top the Pinnacle of Doue.

Speaker 3: FLP President on getting rid of Iris, Rollie seven oh
Speaker 3: five for that one, Smitherman Live with a smither vent
Speaker 3: at seven twenty and Mississippi James on the phone, Mississippi James,
Speaker 3: always good to hear from me.
Speaker 9: Welcome back, Good morning, Brian, Come in peace, love everybody,
Speaker 9: and there's nothing you can.
Speaker 3: Do about it. Like your message, James, what's on your
Speaker 3: mind today? My friend?
Speaker 9: You know, well, you know I believe will spiritual beings
Speaker 9: going through human experience and looking at racism. To me,
Speaker 9: it's not necessarily a hate thing. It was a supreme thing.
Speaker 9: You know that one race is more supreme than the
Speaker 9: other one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when you look.
Speaker 9: At that, you say, okay, that turns can turn into
Speaker 9: hate if one person think they are supreme and the
Speaker 9: one that think they are supreme. I've heard him say that.
Speaker 9: You know, there was a manifesto from God.
Speaker 3: That they be over this of the group sounds like
Speaker 3: the Nazis.
Speaker 9: Hey whoever, it is a human experience as we go
Speaker 9: through it now right now here local and we realized
Speaker 9: this been Oh that was terrible what happened down at
Speaker 9: the fight, the lady getting hit, the guys getting jumped on,
Speaker 9: but we're not looking at who started it. You know,
Speaker 9: you've had six black people's arrested for joining in on
Speaker 9: the fight. But then the one that started to fight,
Speaker 9: and I'm here before the slap came that they're that
Speaker 9: same guy tried to kick another male. Somebody got in
Speaker 9: between them, tried to de escalate it, say go on,
Speaker 9: leave it alone, all right, Well this same guy went
Speaker 9: and slapped found another black guy to slap. So that's
Speaker 9: two incident that I'm hearing that this guy had calls,
Speaker 9: but yet he still haven't been arrested for assault whatever
Speaker 9: the reason question says lawyer say, you can't even talk
Speaker 9: to him, and I'm like, okay, we're going to the lawyer.
Speaker 10: You get the position to stop.
Speaker 9: The police from issuing an assault arrest.
Speaker 3: Well, we could assert as fifth moment right to be
Speaker 3: free of self incrimination, I suppose with an interview if
Speaker 3: he's gout who's lawyered up. It doesn't mean he's not
Speaker 3: going to get charged, but I mean your predicate in
Speaker 3: your initial statement is I'm hearing I'm here, and I
Speaker 3: am hearing similar things, but I'm also hearing things that
Speaker 3: run counter to what you're hearing, which results in me
Speaker 3: concluding that I don't have all the fact yet. In
Speaker 3: spite of this, it's been since the twenty sixth, the
Speaker 3: last month, so more video camera comes out. We've got
Speaker 3: grand jury indictments being handed down. Obviously they found probable
Speaker 3: cause to charge some with the crimes. Let's see if
Speaker 3: anybody else gets gets arrested or accused of criminal conduct.
Speaker 3: I'm waiting. I got my popcorn out, James. I haven't
Speaker 3: put it away, and I haven't drawn any conclusions yet,
Speaker 3: but nothing can justify criminal behavior along the lines of
Speaker 3: what we see, regardless of who gets blamed for starting
Speaker 3: the incident or kicking off the incident. Back go to
Speaker 3: stacker stupid. This is a pretty comical one in spite
Speaker 3: of the fact that we resulted in two people dad,
Speaker 3: a man and a woman are in fact dad after
Speaker 3: a car they were believed to be having sex in
Speaker 3: fell off a cliff. Pair identified as twenty six year
Speaker 3: old Marconi da Silva Cardozo and forty two year old
Speaker 3: Adriana Mocado Raberio. We're in Vandanova do Immigrante. This is
Speaker 3: in Brazil. Happened on Monday last when they were parked
Speaker 3: near a scenic overlook. According to the article, apparent movement
Speaker 3: from an intimate moment in their vehicles caused it to
Speaker 3: drop hundreds of feet. Cardos and Roberio headed towards the
Speaker 3: area where the ground was wet after leaving a party
Speaker 3: freezing in the car fell down a hang gliding ramp
Speaker 3: vehicle located late in the morning by local caretaker. Man
Speaker 3: and a woman found naked in the vehicle. Courting Lydia
Speaker 3: The Sun reported the police that leave the vehicle fell
Speaker 3: around one o'clock in the morning local time. The man
Speaker 3: and the woman were thrown roughly three hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: eight feet. Bodies found the base of a rock. You're right, Joe,
Speaker 3: roughly three hundred and twenty eight does sound very specific.
Speaker 3: Pairs bodies found on the base of a rock. Vehicle
Speaker 3: parts scattered all around the nearby vegucatation corner of the
Speaker 3: press release, there were no signs of violence at the
Speaker 3: scene on the bodies and the car's handbrake was engaged.
Speaker 3: They said. Residents reported hearing a loud noise between one
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning and two am. Because it was
Speaker 3: dark and the vegetation thick, no one saw anything at
Speaker 3: the time. It remains under investigation. The case does waiting
Speaker 3: for forensic reports. Photographs show the vehicle destroyed after a
Speaker 3: plunge several hundred feet off the cliff. One woman witness
Speaker 3: I saw the car's engine very far away and the
Speaker 3: car fell almost four hundred and fifty feet from the
Speaker 3: accident was a shocking scene. The car was destroyed.
Speaker 2: The aerograph.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess mind where you park? Five fifty six
Speaker 3: fifty five kr CD talk station. More to talk about

Speaker 3: the fifty five KRSE Morning Show, Fast forward one hour.
Speaker 3: Ken Cober FLP president, got a petition to get rid
Speaker 3: of Iris Rawley. Yeah, outspoken anti police activist Iris RAWLEI
Speaker 3: coming under some serious criticism and justified interfering with police
Speaker 3: officers trying to perform their duties, which I think is
Speaker 3: a citable offense. Going to ask that from FLP president
Speaker 3: directly out of the gate, like, how come she was
Speaker 3: an issue to citation if she's interfering with police officers.
Speaker 3: Legitimate question. So Ken on that topic coming up in
Speaker 3: an hour, followed by Christopher's Nope, maybe just asking out
Speaker 3: loud if it's a good idea. I think it's a
Speaker 3: great idea. When he's got a record he can run
Speaker 3: on former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, obviously
Speaker 3: here on the morning show, regularly, all over media, regularly
Speaker 3: with his thoughts and comments, expressing logic and reason and
Speaker 3: coming up with solutions for some of the Cincinnati's problems.
Speaker 3: So vote Smithman is what I say. Well here from
Speaker 3: Christopher at seven twenty let me at corner them on
Speaker 3: the day. So different little birds passing along different information.
Speaker 3: I just know I was left out of the loop. Monday, Monday,
Speaker 3: Brian James, eighth five, we'll talk tariffs and inflation. We'll
Speaker 3: talk about whether or not you want crypto in your
Speaker 3: four to oh one k and finally, some interesting new
Speaker 3: benefits companies are offering that with Brian James. Fast forward
Speaker 3: to eight thirty Emory Federal Credit Union golf founding. We'll
Speaker 3: hear from Todd Kine from Emory on that great organization,
Speaker 3: a great event helping out sint Children's Hospital Charitable Care
Speaker 3: Fund Care see Cares we do. Cincinnti VA love helping
Speaker 3: out the American veteran sincinnti VA joins us to give
Speaker 3: us a recap of the VA Country Music Fest and
Speaker 3: the upcoming August twenty third Veteran Appreciation Day. Again, feel
Speaker 3: free to call here's an interesting solution and tell me
Speaker 3: if you think this is a good idea. Obviously, the
Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati decided it's going to start enforcing the
Speaker 3: few one of the things that comes out of the
Speaker 3: August or the July twenty sixth beatdown that happened in
Speaker 3: downtown Cincinnati, and many of my listeners recognize and I
Speaker 3: acknowledge the juveniles were not a problem. They the juveniles
Speaker 3: were not involved at least don't appear to be involved
Speaker 3: in the beatdown. But they did nonetheless change the curfew
Speaker 3: and said that the same police will now be enforcing
Speaker 3: it to some degree. Well, that's solve the problem. How
Speaker 3: about this? Is this a good idea? Uh? We get
Speaker 3: a Gloucester township in New Jersey, They just recently enacted
Speaker 3: an ordinance holding parents accountable for lawbreaking children. Parents now
Speaker 3: facing fines up to two thousand dollars in the possibility
Speaker 3: of a ninety day term behind bars if their children
Speaker 3: are continually misbehaving.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 3: Accord to the article from New Jersey dot Com, the
Speaker 3: ordinance includes twenty eight offenses that could make caretakers liable.
Speaker 3: They range from felonies, loitering, break curfew, chronic truancy to immorality,
Speaker 3: habitual vagrancy, and knowingly associating with immoral people. Okay, I
Speaker 3: got a beg question marks swirling about what constitutes an
Speaker 3: immoral person under the law anyway. The report said teenagers
Speaker 3: and juveniles in the area have been committing variety of
Speaker 3: these offenses. The town's twenty twenty four Gloucester Township Day
Speaker 3: upended when over five hundred miners were involved in a
Speaker 3: brawl spilling over to a shopping plaza. Police arrested nineteenagers,
Speaker 3: among eleven others taken into custody. Three officers were hurt
Speaker 3: in that melee. Video footy shows a group of young
Speaker 3: people throwing objects at the front of businesses. Officials postponed
Speaker 3: the event this year because of social media posts indicating
Speaker 3: that that was going to happen again this year, So
Speaker 3: the police announced this new ordinance in a social media post.
Speaker 3: If a child is reportedly found guilty in juvenile court,
Speaker 3: their caretaker could face up the ninety days in prison
Speaker 3: and or fine of up to two thousand dollars. Ordinance
Speaker 3: takes effects immediately. One person quota, these are your children.
Speaker 3: Had you governed them a certain way, this ordinance wouldn't
Speaker 3: be necessary. As a parent, I think it's absolutely necessary. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So is that a solution to the problem holding parents accountable?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 3: And I think about that you want to hold your
Speaker 3: parents criminally accountable for what their children are doing. Maybe
Speaker 3: a difficult leap. But if these are minor children who
Speaker 3: are out after hours of violating the law on the books,
Speaker 3: which is the curfew law, wouldn't you think? I mean,
Speaker 3: if involved an infant child or abuse along those lines,
Speaker 3: the Department of Child and Family Services to be called in.
Speaker 3: Is it too late when the child's a teenager to
Speaker 3: call in that group to find out what's going on
Speaker 3: at home? Maybe lack of a sufficient parenting I don't know,
Speaker 3: but it certainly would make parents who otherwise don't care
Speaker 3: about where their children are at night maybe start thinking
Speaker 3: about it. I don't want a two thousand dollars fine
Speaker 3: and I don't want to go to jail for up
Speaker 3: to ninety days. Yeah. Well, actions have consequences, or in
Speaker 3: action at least in New Jersey are going to have consequences.
Speaker 3: Gloucester Township specifically five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two to three dog pound five
Speaker 3: fifty on AT and T phones and also another thing
Speaker 3: you might want to chime in on, Donald Trump considering
Speaker 3: reclassifying marijuana under the Federal Drug scheduling hmmm, described as
Speaker 3: maybe reclassified as a less dangerous drug speaking with attendees
Speaker 3: at his one million dollar played fundraiser in New Jersey,
Speaker 3: many of whom were in the weed industry. H Apparently
Speaker 3: the cannabis companies have pumped in millions of dollars into
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's political groups and political action committees of quart
Speaker 3: of it. Maybe that's the reason behind this potential moved
Speaker 3: to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule one controlled substances.
Speaker 3: Making it a Schedule three drug will make it a
Speaker 3: lot easier to buy and sell cannabis. Also been several
Speaker 3: bills introduced by in Congress by Democrats and Republicans bipartisanship
Speaker 3: to either lower the classification of weed to a Schedule
Speaker 3: three drug or remove it completely from the list of
Speaker 3: controlled substances. They've also sought to decriminalize marijuana. Forty states
Speaker 3: so far have legalized marijuana. Twenty four states plus Washington,
Speaker 3: d C. Have also legalized recreational marijuana, as we have
Speaker 3: done here in the state of Ohio. Now, more and
Speaker 3: more information research is coming out with the decriminalizing it
Speaker 3: in states, and we're finding out that marijuana may not
Speaker 3: be as innocuous a drug as they've painted it out
Speaker 3: to be. So you hit all the propaganda coming out
Speaker 3: about medical marijuana, medical medical medical medical marijuana. Well, we'll
Speaker 3: just legalize it for medical use. You'll need a prescription
Speaker 3: for that. It's great for certain medical conditions, anxiety or
Speaker 3: depression or whatever, and so you legitimize it by rolling
Speaker 3: it out as a medical product, and then of course
Speaker 3: segue over to full legalization. Again. That worked quite well
Speaker 3: here in the state of Ohio. But more and more
Speaker 3: people smoking weed, the more and more we find out
Speaker 3: yew could be very dangerous, most notably to young, developing minds.
Speaker 3: This is why parents need to keep an eye on
Speaker 3: their children and what they're getting involved with. They've learned
Speaker 3: a lot about this with alcohol use over the years. Yes,
Speaker 3: in a developing mind, alcohol is very dangerous, so pivot
Speaker 3: over to marijuana. Apparently the same thing. Psychosis can develop,
Speaker 3: among other problems. So I don't know whether decriminalizing on
Speaker 3: a federal level is an effort worth pursuing or what
Speaker 3: the end result is going to be. I think the
Speaker 3: genies out of the bottle, as noted by the number
Speaker 3: of states who provided some form of legalization, complete decriminalization.
Speaker 3: So if the genies out of the bottle, maybe get
Speaker 3: rid of the Schedule one classification and in so doing,
Speaker 3: the one nice benefit that you and I can enjoy
Speaker 3: from that is more research will be done. The fact
Speaker 3: that it's labeled to Schedule one drug, which makes it
Speaker 3: on the same order or degree as heroin. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: limits the amount of research you'll be done because researchers
Speaker 3: can't get acquire this readily available product to do studies
Speaker 3: on it. So more studies are definitely needed along those lines.
Speaker 3: And maybe I'll welcome the change in schedules, if for
Speaker 3: no other reason but that one right there, Feel free
Speaker 3: to chime in five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,
Speaker 3: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
Speaker 3: or pound five fifty on at and T Phonts love
Speaker 3: to hear from if you've got a comment. More to
Speaker 3: talk about coming up. But first, pain you get out
Speaker 3: of bed. It starts right away, doesn't it. Yep, right
Speaker 3: up the knees in the back, screaming at you, maybe
Speaker 3: walking down the flight of stairs after you get out
Speaker 3: of bed, groaning.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: You've been to the doctor, You've gotten pain medications like steroids,
Speaker 3: maybe some pills. The numb the pain numbing does not
Speaker 3: get rid of the underlying cause. Nothing changes. The steroids
Speaker 3: wear off, the pain meds wear off, and you're back
Speaker 3: on that wagon. And again, maybe you're talking to your
Speaker 3: doctor about surgery. No, talk to the doctors at QC

Speaker 3: have KERC Detalk station, Happy Monday five on three seven
Speaker 3: four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three
Speaker 3: talk to to the one's got a couple of calors online.
Speaker 3: We'll start with Brian. Brian, welcome to the show. Thanks
Speaker 3: for calling me this morning.
Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Monday.
Speaker 3: Right back at you, brother.
Speaker 12: Yeah yeah. Places like New Jersey Democrats strongholds, they make
Speaker 12: laws like this and it just makes me chuckle. So,
Speaker 12: so my child decides to transition, get an abortion, go
Speaker 12: on birth control, or you're gonna teach them something I
Speaker 12: don't like. You're not telling me a thing, But when
Speaker 12: my child acts up, you want to hold me accountable.
Speaker 4: You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 3: Well, I suppose you might be to link those concepts.
Speaker 12: Well, if you're not gonna tell me my child the
Speaker 12: school's gonna hide from me, to my child's gonna wants
Speaker 12: to transition, well, and you're supporting that, but you're not
Speaker 12: gonna tell me you're hiding it from me. But then
Speaker 12: if my child does something wrong and you want me
Speaker 12: to be held accountable, I mean, you can't have it
Speaker 12: both ways, it's either I'm involved in my child's.
Speaker 3: Life or I'm not well. One is a crime and
Speaker 3: the other one arguably isn't. Although I guess there's a
Speaker 3: debate on whether transitioning could be considered criminal, but you know,
Speaker 3: I guess the left use that as a lifestyle choice.
Speaker 3: There's nothing, no law in the books that prevents that
Speaker 3: transitioning from happening. But there are criminal laws on the books,
Speaker 3: and children are regularly breaking the criminal laws. And if
Speaker 3: you're made aware that your child is a recidivous lawbreaker
Speaker 3: and you do nothing to stop it from happening, you
Speaker 3: do nothing to keep them in the house after curfew
Speaker 3: rolls around, and maybe there is some possible accountability there
Speaker 3: for violating criminal law. I understand your frustration on along
Speaker 3: those lines, and the allowing of children to make these
Speaker 3: life changing decisions without any parental involvement as disturbing as hell.
Speaker 3: But honestly, if a parent does not care if the
Speaker 3: child's out at three o'clock in the morning on a weeknight,
Speaker 3: then I doubt they probably care a wit whether their
Speaker 3: child is transitioning to a different gender. Possible, let us
Speaker 3: see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, Happy Monday till you.
Speaker 3: Thanks for calling.
Speaker 4: Good morning, my brother Monday to you, I said, it
Speaker 4: was another ratty tat weekend we had in Cincinnati. Fifty
Speaker 4: some shots fired.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Steve Gooden posting that you wouldn't know it from
Speaker 3: local media reporting because apparently no reporting on that. Fifty
Speaker 3: shots fired along Clark Street by the football field, hitting
Speaker 3: park cars in at least one house. So he said,
Speaker 3: automatic gunfire.
Speaker 4: Well, when you hold thirty round bags in those sem
Speaker 4: sixty two but thirty nine hand held pistols they got,
Speaker 4: they can fire off a lot of them pretty quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Can't you empty a thirty round bag in a
Speaker 3: matter of just a couple of seconds?
Speaker 4: Bobby, That doesn't take very long, my friend, as quick
Speaker 4: as you can pull the trigger.
Speaker 3: Not. Is that not very accurate though? Spray and pray.
Speaker 4: No, that's all it is. I'll tell you what. Until
Speaker 4: they correct the problem, the problem's not gonna get corrected.
Speaker 4: The problem making it at the top. The problem being
Speaker 4: correct the violence in Cincinnati. It's in the top five
Speaker 4: most violent cities per capit.
Speaker 3: Okay, but how do we fix the problem of violence?
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I understand taking steps toward holding
Speaker 3: people accountable, like, for example, the New York New Jersey
Speaker 3: law which is in an effect here, but enforcing curfew,
Speaker 3: for example, gets kids off of the streets where they're
Speaker 3: up to no good fine, but the motive behind the
Speaker 3: criminal behavior this lawless attitude. People have, this disregard for
Speaker 3: the law generally speaking. That's a problem that's so broad
Speaker 3: and has so many layers and elements behind it. How
Speaker 3: do you fix that?
Speaker 4: You have to run it like an insurgency. You cannot
Speaker 4: be nice. You have to run it like you would
Speaker 4: a military operation. You got to find out who the
Speaker 4: people are, where they're at, where they're going. It's easy
Speaker 4: to do, but the city's not going to do it
Speaker 4: because they're part of the problem. Well, going back, going
Speaker 4: to advertise their problem, Well you say, I guarantee you
Speaker 4: I got people correct the problem real quick without anything negative,
Speaker 4: all positive investigating. But you gotta know who these people are.
Speaker 3: And if you.
Speaker 4: Eliminate a promise one you don't have get them out
Speaker 4: of your community. Right. They don't want to do that.
Speaker 3: You say, identify who these people are, or around up
Speaker 3: who these people are, and you say that, they claim
Speaker 3: they know if someone has an outstanding arrest warrant and
Speaker 3: a police officer knows where that person is, yes, they
Speaker 3: should be out arresting that person. But if a person
Speaker 3: does not have an a restaurant. I made this point
Speaker 3: the other day. You give a rap sheet a mile
Speaker 3: long if you have served your time or otherwise complied
Speaker 3: with whatever a judicial rendering is or disposition is. In
Speaker 3: that case, you're in front of a judge. The judge said,
Speaker 3: you're on probation. You're on probation, you keep your nose clean,
Speaker 3: you're no longer on probation. That is on your quote
Speaker 3: unquote rap sheet. That doesn't give police the authority to
Speaker 3: pick you up for just being having a rap sheet
Speaker 3: that's long. Quite often you have recidivous criminals who end
Speaker 3: up in front of a judge on multiple occasions. You're
Speaker 3: sitting there going, well, how in the hell is this
Speaker 3: person not in jail. Well, it's because due process hasn't
Speaker 3: been worked through the system. They haven't had their day
Speaker 3: in trial, they haven't had their witnesses show up or
Speaker 3: be in front of a jury or a judge the
Speaker 3: try or fact to render a conclusion. They're not guilty
Speaker 3: at that moment in time. It's very complicated matter with it.
Speaker 4: I agree with you, but you need to know who
Speaker 4: they are and where they're at and everything else. And
Speaker 4: it's easy to do. But the city can't do that.
Speaker 4: They're legally not allowed to do it.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: You pop a spider in a six block area and
Speaker 4: I'll tell you every human being it has a cell
Speaker 4: phone in that area, and you can track them every
Speaker 4: seven and a half fifteen minutes, know where they go,
Speaker 4: where they're at, and where they've been. Well, it's all legal.
Speaker 3: How would you feel if you were one of the
Speaker 3: people being tracked? You say, Bobby would be like, wait
Speaker 3: a second, I don't have a criminal record. Why am
Speaker 3: I under surveillance? Well, we've been tracking you because oh
Speaker 3: I don't know the comments you meant in the fifty
Speaker 3: five krs in morning show or something. I mean, what
Speaker 3: gives them the right to see a quote unquote track
Speaker 3: or otherwise round someone up? What is the legal predicate
Speaker 3: for that? That's what I want to know the city.
Speaker 4: The city doesn't have the right to do that. But
Speaker 4: independent people do you pop a spider. I don't know
Speaker 4: your name, I don't know your phone number. You've got
Speaker 4: a customer number, and I know exactly where you go,
Speaker 4: how long you've been there. Anytime I want to set
Speaker 4: it up on a computer, I know exactly where that
Speaker 4: phone's at, and that way I know where you're at. Well,
Speaker 4: you have a name on it or a phone number,
Speaker 4: but I do have a tracking number.
Speaker 3: I'm at a loss to know how that what good
Speaker 3: that's going to possibly do?
Speaker 4: In seventy two hours, I can tell you who the
Speaker 4: criminals are, where they're at, and where they're.
Speaker 3: Going the criminals suggesting that a crime has been perpetrated
Speaker 3: by one of these unnamed, unknown individuals that you're tracking
Speaker 3: generally throughout the day every day. Sorry, Bobby, You're I
Speaker 3: just I can't make heads or tails out of what
Speaker 3: you're really proposing here. Sorry, man, If you know.
Speaker 4: Where, if you know where the people are, you know
Speaker 4: exactly what they're going to do. What people the people criminals?
Speaker 3: The criminals, Well, again, that suggests that they are they
Speaker 3: have committed a crime, or that a warrant is out,
Speaker 3: or that you know that that particular person there's probable
Speaker 3: cause to believe they should be picked up for creative
Speaker 3: for committing a crime. And if that exists, then the
Speaker 3: police should do it. But in the absence of underlying
Speaker 3: criminal activity or allegations of it, they can be justified
Speaker 3: for the warrant i e. Probable cause. Then you've got
Speaker 3: no right or ability to pick them up, regardless of
Speaker 3: what's in their background. Six twenty seven fifty five k

Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 13: He said they had information that the Russia Russia Russia
Speaker 13: uh was a hoax. Yes, and they had an in Congress,
Speaker 13: but then it was classified. Well Mike, uh, yeah, Donald
Speaker 13: Trump has the power to declassify stuff, did he go
Speaker 13: to Donald Trump and said, hey, we have information that
Speaker 13: will exonerate you.
Speaker 7: Yes, but it's classified. You have to declassify it.
Speaker 3: It's been declassified. That's how he was able to talk
Speaker 3: about it. He wasn't previously able to talk about it,
Speaker 3: but now that it has been declassified, it's out there
Speaker 3: for all to read. Twenty eighteen, I believe was the
Speaker 3: year that was released.
Speaker 13: So yeah, did he go to Trump and then Trump
Speaker 13: could have declassified it right then and then and then
Speaker 13: got all this out in the open.
Speaker 3: Well it has been and it is all this information
Speaker 3: is widely reported. I mean for media outlets that actually
Speaker 3: reporting on it. Yeah, it looks terrible in terms of
Speaker 3: those that engage in this this collusion again Trump and
Speaker 3: his administration. So yeah, I mean it's out there for
Speaker 3: all to read. It's pretty damning information too, and it's
Speaker 3: been referred to a grand jury for potential indictment, so
Speaker 3: keep your popcorn out on that. But yeah, it's out
Speaker 3: there again, That's how he was able to talk about it.
Speaker 3: This is a truly bizarre local story Clark County up

Speaker 3: walking northeast on the shoulder of the same road when
Speaker 3: the two dogs from a nearby house ran across the

Speaker 3: by running toward the road and was hit by the

Speaker 3: up getting it done for a grand. I may have
Speaker 3: the numbers wrong on it. I think the guy I
Speaker 3: ended up saving like eight grand. That's Fred looking out
Speaker 3: for his friend. Here's me looking out for you. You
Speaker 3: got a choice when it comes to imaging, like all
Speaker 3: medical services, So don't go to the hospital imaging department.
Speaker 3: Be like Fred, Be like Jef, be like me. Go
Speaker 3: to affordable imaging services and save thousands and thousands of dollars. So,
Speaker 3: whether it's an echo cardiogram, mri, CT scanner, ultrasound or
Speaker 3: X ray, go to one of the two affordable imaging
Speaker 3: locations and get it done for a mere fraction. Every
Speaker 3: image comes with a board certified radiologist report in the price,
Speaker 3: so rather than thirty five hundred dollars for the echo cardiogram.
Speaker 3: How about five hundred without an enhancement or eight hundred
Speaker 3: with an enhancement of affordable imaging services. Thousands of dollars

Speaker 3: welcome back to the morning show, my friend. Happy Monday
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 14: Hey, good morning Brian.
Speaker 9: Hey.
Speaker 14: I want to say if I could put a finer
Speaker 14: point on the previous callers question about brad Winstrip as
Speaker 14: I understand it, and I'm gonna put chronological order here.
Speaker 14: Twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party brought out
Speaker 14: the Russian pokes against Donald Trump. An investigation. Trump gets elected,
Speaker 14: an investigation has launched. They find out that this is
Speaker 14: just garbage and it was an attempt to overturn a
Speaker 14: free and fair election.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to distract from Hillary Clinton's email server problem, I
Speaker 3: believe was the genesis of this Russian collusion hoax.
Speaker 14: Sure, then in twenty twenty, Joe Biden gets more votes
Speaker 14: than any other president in history, which makes a half
Speaker 14: the country scratch their head and say something's up.
Speaker 4: This can't be right.
Speaker 14: It gets buried. Win Strip's report gets buried for four years,
Speaker 14: and he doesn't come forward because it's classified that we
Speaker 14: may have had two.
Speaker 8: Elections in a row.
Speaker 14: One for sure, one is under a strict or very
Speaker 14: very suspicious circumstances. Joe Biden get getting elected. They the
Speaker 14: whole country gets inflicted with the Biden administration for four years.
Speaker 14: During Trump's first term, the Russia hoax costs the taxpayers
Speaker 14: millions and millions of dollars got in the way of
Speaker 14: Trump's agenda. As he has to keep being distracted and
Speaker 14: the whole country is distracted. Oh yeah, and I think
Speaker 14: the previous caller my question is and Winstrip sat on
Speaker 14: his hands because it was classified and you couldn't come
Speaker 14: forward as a whistleblower. If treason is happening in the country.
Speaker 3: Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it.
Speaker 3: I can't speak for the congressman's actions or you know,
Speaker 3: the timing of the matter. I just know that it
Speaker 3: has been declassified, which allows me to talk about it now.
Speaker 3: That's why it's been so widely reported. All the pieces
Speaker 3: of the puzzle were finally put together. That coupled with
Speaker 3: the most recent you know, document releases from the Department
Speaker 3: of Justice, so they all add up to one big
Speaker 3: damning you know, development of information, Jay, I you know,
Speaker 3: in terms of classification, how things are declassified, and what
Speaker 3: people's efforts were behind the scenes, if they were trying
Speaker 3: to get it declassified at any given time. Those are
Speaker 3: details I simply do not have, Jay, Honestly, I really don't.
Speaker 9: No, I know you don't.
Speaker 14: I didn't expect you to. But I think the deaths
Speaker 14: the question that we have out here is what's it
Speaker 14: going to take for a Republican congressman to have this information. Yes,
Speaker 14: I understand how serious classified information is. But if you're
Speaker 14: a patriot, for crying out loud and there's treason going on,
Speaker 14: stand up, be heard. If this was the Democrat party,
Speaker 14: they would have leaked it quietly to the press well
Speaker 14: and got all the documents out there, versus sitting on
Speaker 14: your hands and watch the country get destroyed with open
Speaker 14: borders and every vent and all and everything else during
Speaker 14: the Biden administration. For crying out loud, stand up well,
Speaker 14: and you know your whistleblow up protection.
Speaker 3: This is one of those things that Republicans have convinced them,
Speaker 3: have argued Democrats are doing all the time. It's leaked
Speaker 3: to the press, and that leaking confidential information to the press,
Speaker 3: of course, can subject to to criminal charges. So you know,
Speaker 3: if you want to go down that road and risk
Speaker 3: criminal prosecution and the name of patriotism, fine, that's fine.
Speaker 12: Yes, I would say so.
Speaker 14: I would say that's my expectation of a Republican congressman
Speaker 14: if you know treason's going on and classified document the
Speaker 14: classification of classified is keeping your mouth shut while the
Speaker 14: country goes down the tubes. Shame on, Brad Weistrip, stand.
Speaker 12: Up, be a patriot, all right.
Speaker 3: I'll let him address that next time he's on the program.
Speaker 3: He may be listening right now. He can feel free
Speaker 3: to chime in, and if you're listening, you can feel

Speaker 3: jump over to the phones. Let's see what Jim's got
Speaker 3: this morning. Jim, thanks for calling. Happy Monday, Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 7: I have to agree with the previous caller, I got
Speaker 7: Winsterm's a nice guy, but he's got no spine. If
Speaker 7: you watch what he did. We got rid of d
Speaker 7: Schmidt and brought Brad in there. And he would not
Speaker 7: take any stand against the party if he looked at
Speaker 7: his building record, Oh yes, great conservative record, until you
Speaker 7: look at the really important votes. And he wouldn't stand
Speaker 7: up to the party. Do you think he's going to
Speaker 7: stand up for anything else. He's not a Tom Manson
Speaker 7: that stands up on principle. It's just, you know, I'm
Speaker 7: glad he's gone to my rep I'm not sure about day.
Speaker 7: But he had no courage to stand up against anything
Speaker 7: that the party didn't say.
Speaker 4: He couldn't do fair enough, So he wouldn't.
Speaker 7: He wouldn't commit treason because or stand up lay anybody
Speaker 7: out for treason because he didn't have the spine to
Speaker 7: do it.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, yeah, I don't have the problems. I
Speaker 3: don't have a problem people criticizing him. You can draw
Speaker 3: your own conclusions about who the politicians are and how
Speaker 3: they vote on what they do. He isn't the only
Speaker 3: person that was aware of that that document confirming that
Speaker 3: the Democrats in fact created the Russian collusion. Hoaks had
Speaker 3: a whole cloth that was confidential, and he obviously couldn't
Speaker 3: talk about it inspite it because he has security clearance
Speaker 3: and had access to it. He made his decision. You
Speaker 3: can criticize him for it that say, Okay, I wish
Speaker 3: kind of wish he was here to defend himself and
Speaker 3: maybe make an argument to that effect. But right, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's what elections are all about. I mean, you're going
Speaker 3: to throw question, You're going to throw out the good
Speaker 3: for the sake of the perfect, and people quite often
Speaker 3: asked that question out loud when it comes to political choices. Anyhow,
Speaker 3: five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty two to three dog found five fifty
Speaker 3: on AT and T phones. Yeah, I'll just go ahead
Speaker 3: and kind of intro this because we're going to get
Speaker 3: to FLP President Ken Kober. They are calling the FOP
Speaker 3: is for Iris Raleigh to be fired. And this what
Speaker 3: this this online petition is being circulated for LEEDG is
Speaker 3: that Raleigh has been caught on bodycam multiple times harassing
Speaker 3: police officers from doing their jobs. At least as yesterday morning,
Speaker 3: twenty nine hundred signatures their goal five thousand court of
Speaker 3: the petition. Despite clear misconduct, the city continues to fund
Speaker 3: her contract with taxpayer dollars. They posted the body camera
Speaker 3: videos showing Raleigh alleged in what they determined its harassing cops.
Speaker 3: Also posted an appearance she made on a podcast where
Speaker 3: she quote wasted no time berating a retired Cincinni police
Speaker 3: officer and the others on the show Close quote. FOP
Speaker 3: also posted all three of the videos in the organization's
Speaker 3: Facebook page, and one post claims Raleigh is not a
Speaker 3: collaborator but an agitator. So we showed one of the
Speaker 3: videos Raleigh asking a man who is being then interviewed
Speaker 3: by Cincinnati police officers, then telling him to pour out
Speaker 3: his spear if he wanted to file a complaint against
Speaker 3: the police officer. Right in the middle of that going on,
Speaker 3: Cheryl on city Manager defending her Her contribution span from
Speaker 3: the origins of the collaborative agreement to her commitment to
Speaker 3: problem solving resulting in support for teens in our transit center.
Speaker 3: She consistently steps up to organize effective strategies and to
Speaker 3: raise her hand to support the community when others don't,
Speaker 3: but long did pivot over to the thing that the
Speaker 3: police officers are dressing in their online petition saying anyone
Speaker 3: doing work on behalf of the city of Cincinnati must
Speaker 3: hold themselves to a higher standard that includes not interfering
Speaker 3: with police who are in the act of performing their
Speaker 3: lawful duties. Thank you, Cheryl Long for addressing the core
Speaker 3: of the problem here. She's part of the purvol administration,
Speaker 3: but she's out interfering with police officers in the act
Speaker 3: of performing their lawful duties. Not a good look for
Speaker 3: a city of Cincinnati that's under the microscope for its
Speaker 3: law enforcement. Some argue failures. Others argue it's perhaps an
Speaker 3: administration's problem because of it's a poor allocation of police resources,
Speaker 3: failure to acknowledge the problem we have in the city
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, which is one of crime doing the five
Speaker 3: d's of dodgeball. When addressing the question after the July
Speaker 3: twenty sixth beat down six fifty five, can Kober on

Speaker 3: of a side issue for Christopher this morning. I don't

Speaker 3: the meantime, Happy to welcome back for the fifty five
Speaker 3: Casey Morning Show. Fop fternal older Pee Chapter sixty nine,
Speaker 3: which represents the Cincinnati Police Department heading it up. Ken Coberg, Ken,
Speaker 3: good to have you back on the fifty five Casey
Speaker 3: Morning Show. Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having all right. Now,
Speaker 3: if I was out in the middle of the street
Speaker 3: and I saw an officer I don't know, interacting with
Speaker 3: someone in terms of making a stop, doing their job
Speaker 3: and their official capacity as an on duty police officer,
Speaker 3: and I got in the middle of it and interfered
Speaker 3: with the police officer doing his job, would I be
Speaker 3: subject to a citation?
Speaker 16: Ken Cober, Yeah, I mean you'd be subject to a
Speaker 16: citation or subject to arrest for that matter.
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess first question. You have it on video,
Speaker 3: and you circulated a petition to well have Iris Rawley
Speaker 3: described as a consultant to the City of Cincinnati in
Speaker 3: a paid capacity, get her fired from her job, and
Speaker 3: you show a couple of illustrations she's been caught on bodycam,
Speaker 3: which you did post with the you petition for assing
Speaker 3: police officers in the middle of doing their job. Can
Speaker 3: I ask why that she wasn't cited.
Speaker 16: Well, you know, officers had discretion, and in that situation,
Speaker 16: it was clear the officer knew exactly who Iris was
Speaker 16: and thought that it would be better to attempt to
Speaker 16: de escalate the situation than it would be to try
Speaker 16: to arrest her, knowing that it was a likelihood that
Speaker 16: it was going to get worse. So they made what
Speaker 16: I thought was a good decision just to try to
Speaker 16: let it go under the circumstances. But as I've explained
Speaker 16: to the city manager, those circumstances are running out, and
Speaker 16: she should expect the next policeman she comes across and
Speaker 16: tries to do something like that, she will be arrested.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's on notice now, clearly, most notably because you
Speaker 3: circulated a petition trying to get her fired. Now, she's
Speaker 3: been around since the days of the riots and the
Speaker 3: Collaborative Agreement, and a lot of people, including the city
Speaker 3: manager in responsive petition, you know, gave her props. Is
Speaker 3: a consequence of her activism. But she has been an
Speaker 3: out loud voice against the police department and seems to
Speaker 3: embrace this defund the police kind of strategy. And she's
Speaker 3: certainly an agitator when it comes to well filing complaints
Speaker 3: against police officers who are doing their job. Now, I
Speaker 3: guess I understand why you're trying to ask for her
Speaker 3: to be fired. Do you have any idea what role
Speaker 3: she plays now since the Collaborative Agreement has been around
Speaker 3: for now for what like almost two decades.
Speaker 16: Consultant of the city manager, and that came straight from
Speaker 16: the city manager that she consults her.
Speaker 4: And you know, and that's fine.
Speaker 16: Is all the work that she's done with the collaborative Agreement,
Speaker 16: whether you like it you don't like it, the work
Speaker 16: that she's done can't go un notice.
Speaker 3: However, she's crossed the line.
Speaker 16: You cross the line when you decide that you're going
Speaker 16: to obstruct official business. When the police are out there
Speaker 16: trying to do what they're paid to do, and it's
Speaker 16: something that's just not going to be tolerated.
Speaker 3: I certainly understand that it sounds like the city manager's
Speaker 3: on your site on that, after supporting Iris Rowley and
Speaker 3: everything that she's done on behalf of the city. City
Speaker 3: manager along said anyone doing work on behalf of the
Speaker 3: city of Cincinnati Iris Rowley must hold themselves to a
Speaker 3: higher standard that includes not interfering with police or in
Speaker 3: the act of performing their lawful duties. So even the
Speaker 3: city manager is on your side on this, Kenkober.
Speaker 16: Well, yeah, but we'll see if there's going to be
Speaker 16: any consequence for her actions. That's going to be where
Speaker 16: the proof is in the putting. Is she gonna actually
Speaker 16: do something about it, And that's yet to be seen.
Speaker 3: It is yet to be seen now so far. How
Speaker 3: many signatures do you have on your petition? I looked
Speaker 3: at it's just over thirty four hundred.
Speaker 16: I can tell you I was working the Sccincinnati match
Speaker 16: last night and there are some folks that were talking
Speaker 16: about it said that they fully support the police that
Speaker 16: they've signed it. I've talked to some officers that are
Speaker 16: reluctant to sign it because they believe that somehow the
Speaker 16: city is going to get this information and that they
Speaker 16: will try to retaliate against them if they do sign it.
Speaker 3: Now, I just won't have to be a resident of
Speaker 3: the city of Cincinnati to sign the petition.
Speaker 9: No, And you know this, this.
Speaker 16: Petition is really twofold. It's one it's sending a message
Speaker 16: to the city saying that we're not going to tolerate
Speaker 16: some consultant from the city that's going to create, you.
Speaker 3: Know, uh, have a criminal act, commit a criminal.
Speaker 16: Act that's going to harass the police. But also it's
Speaker 16: a message because the police are seeing it, and the
Speaker 16: police are seeing the support they have. So I encourage
Speaker 16: all those that are the silent minority or the silent
Speaker 16: majority that are always supporting the police that don't necessarily
Speaker 16: want to come out and say it, sign the petition
Speaker 16: because these officers are taking notice of how many signatures
Speaker 16: are you know, being signed.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess considering she's in this consulting capacity, of
Speaker 3: course she's an outspoken community activist. Everything in the city
Speaker 3: seems to know who iris. Rawly is the fact that
Speaker 3: she's going out there and actually interfering with officers doing
Speaker 3: their job. Isn't that encouraging others residents of the city
Speaker 3: to do the same dang thing, Since if Iris can
Speaker 3: do it, shouldn't I be doing it also.
Speaker 16: Without a doubt? I mean, they don't understand, you know,
Speaker 16: the impact that this is having. I mean, officers are
Speaker 16: absolutely furious about this. You know, I was at a
Speaker 16: role call this morning. Not one officer had anything bad
Speaker 16: to say about this petition. They encourage it. They actually
Speaker 16: want me to go even further and take other steps,
Speaker 16: and that's we'll see how this all plays out. But
Speaker 16: they're furious to see that you have somebody that is
Speaker 16: supposedly a city leader that is harassing the police when
Speaker 16: they're simply trying to do their job.
Speaker 3: Now, what do you hope ultimately comes to this? Obviously,
Speaker 3: if the petition, you know, it serves its purpose, she's
Speaker 3: going to get fired. I really am hesitant to believe
Speaker 3: that Share along or anybody in the Cincinnati and the
Speaker 3: current government, is going to fire her for doing this.
Speaker 3: So this really does serve the purpose of putting Iris
Speaker 3: specifically on notice that maybe next time around, she will
Speaker 3: get sided, and also sends a warning to the rest
Speaker 3: of the Greater Cincinnati residents. Don't do this, because you'll
Speaker 3: see what's going to happen next time we encounter Iris
Speaker 3: involving this. I mean, this just brings it to everybody's
Speaker 3: attention as something not to do.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, I had this conversation with the city manager on Friday,
Speaker 16: and I told her, listen, she should thank her lucky
Speaker 16: stars that she came across an extremely patient police officer
Speaker 16: who is willing to deal with that nonsense, because there's
Speaker 16: a lot of police officers out there that wouldn't have
Speaker 16: been willing to deal with it, that would have just
Speaker 16: arrested her, which is what ultimately could have happened. Like
Speaker 16: I said, I respect the officer that was involved. I
Speaker 16: think she's a fantastic person. Under the circumstances, I believe
Speaker 16: she made the right decision. But Iris is going to
Speaker 16: be so lucky next time, and that's going to be
Speaker 16: on the city manager to have to deal with. You know,
Speaker 16: if they continue to do business with her, they continue
Speaker 16: to give her taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 3: Because I believe Iris.
Speaker 16: Is not going to stop doing this, it would be
Speaker 16: smart if she does. That's what we want is for
Speaker 16: her just to stop this behavior. But if it continues,
Speaker 16: believe me, there is a high likelihood that she will
Speaker 16: be arrested.
Speaker 3: Well, and I agree with your conclusion about the officer
Speaker 3: involved in not issuing the citation, But doesn't that highlight
Speaker 3: the very problem that Iris Ralli has created because she
Speaker 3: is such a loud activist and will look into and
Speaker 3: with hindsight twenty twenty, look at every single, every single
Speaker 3: moment in time of any officer and maybe perp interaction
Speaker 3: that they're going to be under the microscope, which has
Speaker 3: caused law enforcement officers to really question engaging people on
Speaker 3: the street for fear of being called out by Iris
Speaker 3: Rawli and others of her ILK. Now, doesn't this confirm
Speaker 3: that that strategy actually work because Iris avoided getting a
Speaker 3: ticket because it was well known to the police that
Speaker 3: she was this loud activist. Yeah, I mean, I think
Speaker 3: you could certainly draw that conclusion.
Speaker 16: But I'll just say this, there are plenty of policemen
Speaker 16: that I've talked to this said at that was me
Speaker 16: in that situation, I would have arrested her. You know,
Speaker 16: no one, no one in this police department is against accountability.
Speaker 16: You know, the public deserves transparency. They deserve the police
Speaker 16: to be held accountable. But if they think that they're
Speaker 16: going to allow some bully to continue to harass police officers,
Speaker 16: it's just not going to happen. There are plenty of
Speaker 16: cops out there that we're wishing that that was them
Speaker 16: because they would have arrested.
Speaker 3: Her fair enough. Well, if folks want to sign the petition,
Speaker 3: FOP President Ken Cover, where do they go.
Speaker 9: To do that?
Speaker 16: Goodness sincy c I n c Y police dot Com.
Speaker 16: All the information that is all held by the FOP,
Speaker 16: So it's not like the city's getting this information.
Speaker 4: We're storing all this information.
Speaker 16: It's private and you know, we want to be able
Speaker 16: to see that you know how many people are actually
Speaker 16: out there supporting the police, because we know there's a
Speaker 16: ton of you.
Speaker 3: All amen to that. FOP President can Cover. I can't
Speaker 3: thank you enough for the time you spent my listeners
Speaker 3: and me talking about this important topic. I'll look for
Speaker 3: hard to having you back on and if listeners want
Speaker 3: to sign a petition, I'll encourage them to do so. Ken,

Speaker 3: a very happy Monday, made extra special every Monday at
Speaker 3: this time. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 3: Former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman
Speaker 3: for the Monday Morning smith Avan. Christopher, always a pleasure
Speaker 3: having on my show.
Speaker 9: Oh, thank you so much, Brian for having me on.
Speaker 9: So I'll get at the first question that you have presented.
Speaker 9: A Yes, I did pull a petition to run for
Speaker 9: city council on Friday around four pm. So we're in
Speaker 9: the process of collecting signatures to get my name on
Speaker 9: the ballot, and we have a short window nine days.
Speaker 9: The signatures are due on the twentieth, and so we're
Speaker 9: excited about it. You know, my frustration is, like with
Speaker 9: everyone else. You know, we've seen a city hall that
Speaker 9: seems to just miss some very important facts around crime
Speaker 9: or safety in our community, brother or dealing with what's
Speaker 9: happening in Hyde Park with the development there, and it
Speaker 9: just seemed to be ignored.
Speaker 10: That's a very very, very very big deal.
Speaker 9: And so you know, this city Council has really set
Speaker 9: race relations back ten years the comment by the President
Speaker 9: pro Tem, and one of the reasons I want to
Speaker 9: explain this is that thirty years ago we didn't have
Speaker 9: the internet the way we have it now. And so
Speaker 9: when you can go to Europe and see a statement
Speaker 9: from the President pro Tem which is thirty in command
Speaker 9: that says that Holly was begging for the beat down
Speaker 9: that she got right, is devastating for the economics of
Speaker 9: our city. It is the devastating for the economics of
Speaker 9: our city, is devastating for our reputation, and the President
Speaker 9: Protend just seems to not understand it. If the mayor
Speaker 9: wanted to hold her accountable today, he could strip her
Speaker 9: of her title President Protend. He could demand that council
Speaker 9: revoke that. It doesn't make sense to me. So there
Speaker 9: are a lot of good reasons to put my name
Speaker 9: on the ballot to give the citizens of Cincinnati in
Speaker 9: our fifty two neighborhoods an option. It's going to be
Speaker 9: up to them if they want to keep the status
Speaker 9: quo where we're heading, They're not going to vote for me.
Speaker 9: If they like a change and a voice on Council
Speaker 9: of Reason and common Sense, no matter what their political
Speaker 9: party is, they'll vote for me. Well, yes, I did
Speaker 9: pull a petition. We'll be working incredibly hard over the
Speaker 9: next nine days to get the five hundred good signatures to.
Speaker 10: Put my name on ballot.
Speaker 3: Well, what can my Cincinnati City of Cincinnati dwelling listeners
Speaker 3: do to help you out on that? A place they
Speaker 3: can go to sign the petition? Where's it going to
Speaker 3: be circulated? What can we do to put you here?
Speaker 3: With the top there?
Speaker 9: Christopher, So, Jim and Jack is the headquarters and people
Speaker 9: can just come down. Like I said before, it's the
Speaker 9: super majority of people that work here. The owner and
Speaker 9: it's gym is daughter who runs at Karen Jim.
Speaker 4: They all live in the.
Speaker 9: City of Cincinnati. I live at Price Hill and so
Speaker 9: they're here circulating. They're not open on Mondays, but Tuesday
Speaker 9: through Sunday they can just walk into the establishment say
Speaker 9: they're here to sign the petition. And sign the petition.
Speaker 9: That's what we need, and the key is that we need,
Speaker 9: as you indicated, Brian, citizens that live in the city
Speaker 9: of Cincinnati, in our fifty two neighborhoods. The second thing
Speaker 9: that we need is for people to pick up a
Speaker 9: petition and take it home. Now, this is a detail
Speaker 9: that's important, Like we don't need people necessarily to fill
Speaker 9: out the whole petition. Just you come in, husband comes in,
Speaker 9: signs the petition, takes the petition home, has his wife witnesses,
Speaker 9: his wife's signature is children's signature, and then brings it back.
Speaker 9: They might get three or four signatures, but we know
Speaker 9: all those signatures are good. The key to this is validity.
Speaker 9: It's not volume. It's getting the right people in the
Speaker 9: city who are registered to vote where their address matches
Speaker 9: the Board of Elections to sign the petition so we
Speaker 9: can turn those signatures in by the twenty Well, I
Speaker 9: appreciate the opportunity to say that and thank you Brian
Speaker 9: for that time.
Speaker 3: Listen, man, I can't think of a better thing to
Speaker 3: happen for the city. Since now you're getting on the
Speaker 3: bout and getting elected, you have a record that you
Speaker 3: can run on. You can point back to your record
Speaker 3: successful it was, to your record on common sense, logic
Speaker 3: and reason. Of course, offering an alternative voice to the
Speaker 3: lockstep unified voice, we get out of the Democrats, which
Speaker 3: quite often doesn't make any sense. So wonderful development, folks,
Speaker 3: you have an opportunity to help out. Let's change the direction.
Speaker 3: Let's get Christopher on the ballot and then of course
Speaker 3: do the hard work of getting him elected. Christopher, I'm
Speaker 3: really pleased with the announcement. I really really am, and
Speaker 3: I'm excited for you, and I'm think about good things
Speaker 3: maybe coming for the city of Cincinnati. We got great
Speaker 3: options coming up this fall, great options. Just question of
Speaker 3: whether the city wakes up and decides they're not going
Speaker 3: to do the same thing over and over and over again.
Speaker 3: Another time. We'll bring Christopher back. Let's wait first, though,
Speaker 3: a word for my friends at USA Insallation. Outstanding product,

Speaker 17: on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 3: To Shy at seven twenty nine to fifty five kr
Speaker 3: C the talk station Brian Thomas with former vice mayor
Speaker 3: of the City of Cincinnati and maybe councilmen again, Christopher Smithman.
Speaker 3: Christopher Eric commented to me, he said, when Corey Bowman
Speaker 3: gets elected, we can get Christopher Smithemer as vice mayor again.
Speaker 4: Maybe well, well.
Speaker 9: We'll leave that, yeah, Mayor Cory Bowman, right, But what
Speaker 9: I will say is that this will give I hope
Speaker 9: the citizens of Cincinnati, you know, an option, and I'm
Speaker 9: one of a few good options on there because I
Speaker 9: think Stephen Gooden is, oh yeah, a good guy who's running.
Speaker 9: I served with him, always came prepared, professional, understood the
Speaker 9: subject matter, and delivered the vote and didn't mind being
Speaker 9: in the minority. People don't realize that the descending vote
Speaker 9: is also very important because it means that those citizens
Speaker 9: in the fifty two neighborhoods who wanted to hear a
Speaker 9: no vote got it, and it meant that somebody heard
Speaker 9: them and was standing with them on their position. That's
Speaker 9: number one, but number two, it also forces negotiations, meaning
Speaker 9: sometimes votes are five to four, they're right there on
Speaker 9: the bubble, and that kind of pressure Brian Thomas sometimes
Speaker 9: makes the other side conceive points that are important to
Speaker 9: get the compromise. So we can't keep doing what we're doing.
Speaker 9: We can't have nine Democrats on council. A mayor that's
Speaker 9: a Democrat. They're just running the table as a group think.
Speaker 9: And typically those types of board of directors are bad
Speaker 9: for cities. We see it in Chicago right now. Chicago
Speaker 9: is in so much economic trouble, and often it's because
Speaker 9: they've had a group think, you know. So anyway, it's
Speaker 9: an option, and I'm not gonna harp on that. I
Speaker 9: want to say, there was some type of fight in
Speaker 9: downtown Cincinnati. We've had shots fired, all kinds of things,
Speaker 9: but there was a fight that citizens are talking about
Speaker 9: between some white citizens down in downtown Cincinnati. And it
Speaker 9: looked like white youth. And so it's important for the
Speaker 9: mainstream media to talk about it, right, don't hide that
Speaker 9: under the carpet. What happened? How are we as a
Speaker 9: city managing that. Did they arrest anybody, whether they were
Speaker 9: juveniles or they going to juvenile court? How was it
Speaker 9: a dressed It didn't look like a fair fight. It
Speaker 9: looked like somebody several young men looked like they were
Speaker 9: jumping on one or two people. But it looked like chaos,
Speaker 9: and it did look like an officer was on team
Speaker 9: breaking it up. So that's a good thing. I mean
Speaker 9: that there was somebody there responding to it. But the
Speaker 9: point is that we want to be balanced in our
Speaker 9: coverage about what's happening in our city, and this is
Speaker 9: one of those opportunities for mainstream media to do just that.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, yeah, I agree, And crime is crime
Speaker 3: is crime. Whether it's white kids beating up on somebody
Speaker 3: or black kids beating up on somebody. The problem is
Speaker 3: we've got a bunch of kids runn around beating up
Speaker 3: on people, and that's not a good view. I mean,
Speaker 3: if you want to paint the city of Cincinnati is
Speaker 3: a safe place, does it matter the color of the
Speaker 3: person's skin if you're going to probably get a beatdown
Speaker 3: if you're going downtown Cincinnati. The point is is crime
Speaker 3: is a problems.
Speaker 9: That's absolutely true. And we can't have leaders undermining law
Speaker 9: enforcement no matter what. Because I heard the FOP president
Speaker 9: in his interview, and so you can't have leaders in
Speaker 9: the city undermining getting in between the work of what
Speaker 9: our Cincinnati Police Department is doing. And by the way,
Speaker 9: you know, having served as the Chair of Law and
Speaker 9: Public Safety, that's part of their job, that kind of oversight.
Speaker 9: Meaning if I were the Chair of Law and Public
Speaker 9: Safety and I had an incident like that, I would
Speaker 9: have a hearing on it. I'd ask the person, the
Speaker 9: employer who's involved, the contractor police come in and explain this,
Speaker 9: meaning this is not something that's normal and not something
Speaker 9: that should happen. So part of the problem is the
Speaker 9: council isn't functioning giving the oversight, and then it triggers
Speaker 9: the FOP to have to do the things that they're doing.
Speaker 9: It's because city Council is not doing what they're supposed
Speaker 9: to do, which is police themselves, police the institution. That's
Speaker 9: why they're serving as the board of directors. So again
Speaker 9: that's another reason, right, it's important to get people elected
Speaker 9: on council because let's say Stephen Gooden was a member
Speaker 9: of council, he probably would say, here's a motion, I'd
Speaker 9: like to have a hearing on the subject matter that
Speaker 9: the FOP president was just talking about, which is talking
Speaker 9: about it from the outside, but there should be somebody
Speaker 9: on council of the nine of them saying this is
Speaker 9: a problem. We're going to have a hearing about it
Speaker 9: and have a public discussion.
Speaker 3: Well, same thing on the President pro TEMs, just unbelievably
Speaker 3: horrific statement about this. People deserving a beatdown, including Holly,
Speaker 3: who seem to be completely innocent whole thing. So yeah,
Speaker 3: you might advance the motion to address that and sanction her,
Speaker 3: otherwise remove her from any you know, a membership position
Speaker 3: on any given committee.
Speaker 9: You know, I the is no question Brian Thomas, there
Speaker 9: is no question that out of nine members of council,
Speaker 9: the president pro tem who's third in command. So that
Speaker 9: means that when the mayor's out of town, the vice
Speaker 9: mayor's out of town, the President pro tem is running
Speaker 9: the city third in command. So in the country, it's
Speaker 9: right the president, the vice president, and then the Speaker
Speaker 9: of the House. The reality of it is you at
Speaker 9: the Speaker of the House, like in the connection of
Speaker 9: power in the city, saying that Hollywood was begging for
Speaker 9: what happened to her, And you don't have that resolution
Speaker 9: that you just discussed by any member of councilor of
Speaker 9: the mayor saying we're going to censure her, We're going
Speaker 9: to strip her of some committee chairmanships or a committee positions,
Speaker 9: or we're going to strip her of her president pro
Speaker 9: tem and it doesn't her title, because that then what's
Speaker 9: happening is and you know this is her comments are
Speaker 9: playing in Europe. Yeah, this is around the world community.
Speaker 9: It's not like this is local to Cincinnati. People are
Speaker 9: discussing what she said around the world, not just the
Speaker 9: United States of America. And there's not that other voice
Speaker 9: in the void that's elected down there saying we don't
Speaker 9: agree with this, We're going to hold her accountable. The
Speaker 9: peace is we're going to hold her accountable. It's not
Speaker 9: okay just to say, hey, I don't agree with what
Speaker 9: she said. If you have to take the next step
Speaker 9: here to say, here's how we're going to hold this
Speaker 9: elected official accountable, Brian Tard, that's missing in the system
Speaker 9: right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean the silence from the rest of
Speaker 3: the council is really deafening along those lines because that
Speaker 3: statement cannot be justified under any circumstances none. So it
Speaker 3: is a bad optic for the City of Cincinnati. I mean,
Speaker 3: she is an elected official, as you point out, in
Speaker 3: the third highest role on the city and said that
Speaker 3: Holly deserved to get punched in the face. I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm beside myself still on that one. Let's continue with

Speaker 3: you five KCD talk station. But after a word for

Speaker 3: to Jim and Jackson the River. Not today because they're
Speaker 3: closed on Mondays, but that's where you can find a petition.
Speaker 3: Make sure Christopher has valid signatures of residents of the
Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati so you can get on the ballot
Speaker 3: and we'll have a better option as we get forward
Speaker 3: closer to the election of this November. Good Man, he
Speaker 3: is Christopher, you're talking about the situation Iris Rawley. I
Speaker 3: had FOP President Ken Coob we're on earlier, talking about
Speaker 3: petition they're circulating to have her removed from her role
Speaker 3: as a consultant getting paid by the City of Cincinnati
Speaker 3: while out there interfering with police officers. And you know
Speaker 3: because you heard it. The point I was making with
Speaker 3: him is she is She's got a lot of swing
Speaker 3: in the Cincinnati area among residents political activists outspoken, clearly
Speaker 3: been around since the collaborative agreement, So her voice, in
Speaker 3: spite of what you or I may conclude about it,
Speaker 3: does carry a lot of weight. So I think it's
Speaker 3: important this petition because she is literally committing a crime
Speaker 3: by interfering with the actions of police officers. This is
Speaker 3: a warning to Iris Rawley, as he indicated, to not
Speaker 3: do it anymore, or you're going to get sighted next
Speaker 3: time it happens. But it's also a warning to the
Speaker 3: rest of the residents. Because Iris are roally out there
Speaker 3: bothering and interfering with police doing their work. That's incentive
Speaker 3: to others to do the same thing. Much in the
Speaker 3: same way. Victoria Parks President pro Temps comment that those
Speaker 3: folks deserve the beatdown they got is kind of a
Speaker 3: suggestion to other residents of the city of Cincinnati. Hey,
Speaker 3: it's okay to beat up on whitey, or at least
Speaker 3: that's kind of a conclusion you draw your take.
Speaker 9: Well, look first, if we had a functioning administration and counsel,
Speaker 9: the FOP president would not have to do what they're doing,
Speaker 9: because the city manager would call that contractor in in
Speaker 9: this case Irish Roly and say never ever engage in
Speaker 9: this behavior. You cannot go out. And then, certainly on
Speaker 9: this bodycam, it's saying I think the statement was I
Speaker 9: don't trust you or I don't trust the police. I mean,
Speaker 9: it was one of the statements something like that to
Speaker 9: the officer who was trying to cite the person on
Speaker 9: the bicycle and the person the officer was saying in
Speaker 9: a very respectful way. By the way, I'd give her
Speaker 9: an a plus in how she handled the situation.
Speaker 3: I hope you give me.
Speaker 9: She did a wonderful job managing that right because she
Speaker 9: understood the political ramification right and that she was doing
Speaker 9: her best to de escalate. She didn't want to put
Speaker 9: handcuffs on Irish Roly, but she needed to do her
Speaker 9: job of citing this person back to jail. So it
Speaker 9: was a very tough situation for the officers or kudos
Speaker 9: to her. But at the end of the day, if
Speaker 9: the city manager right, if she was doing her job,
Speaker 9: she would say, look, not only don't do it, but publicly,
Speaker 9: I'm going to make sure that I send the message
Speaker 9: to the community that this was unacceptable behavior. So because
Speaker 9: that's not happening. The statement that I heard you read
Speaker 9: from the city manager was kind of like, these are
Speaker 9: the great things, yes, that the contractor does for our community,
Speaker 9: which is not dealing with the issue that the FOP
Speaker 9: president is putting forward. So because and by the way, Brian,
Speaker 9: somebody on council, the chair of Lauren Public Safety, the
Speaker 9: vice chair of Lauren Public Safety, a member of Law
Speaker 9: and Public Safety should be engaging here with the oversight. Again,
Speaker 9: that's the part of the dysfunction that the FLP president
Speaker 9: has to come and do any of this work.
Speaker 3: Well, I will give some credit to City Manager Long
Speaker 3: she did conclude with anyone doing work on behalf of
Speaker 3: the city of Cincinnati, iris Rawley must hold themselves to
Speaker 3: a higher standard. That includes not interfering with police who
Speaker 3: are in the act of performing their lawful duties. So
Speaker 3: she is on record sort of, I guess in a
Speaker 3: sense giving Iris Rawley a notice. Look, you didn't get
Speaker 3: a ticket previously, although you could have easily gotten one,
Speaker 3: don't do it again.
Speaker 9: But Brian, the problem is that she's trying to find
Speaker 9: the balance when right now you have an employee here
Speaker 9: and are a contractor, and you should just say at
Speaker 9: the end of that that should have been the only statement. No,
Speaker 9: because what you were talking about and what the FOP
Speaker 9: president is talking about, we don't want anybody else doing
Speaker 9: it exactly, meaning this is how Sunny Kim lost his life.
Speaker 9: There was somebody getting in between. That's what andre Ewing
Speaker 9: was saying as an officer, which, by the way, I
Speaker 9: have tremendous respect for andre Ewing as an officer. I
Speaker 9: served with him on council and his work that he's
Speaker 9: doing now because he's calling out things right and wrong
Speaker 9: and he's not bathing in race and is so here
Speaker 9: on what he's saying. But having said that, the system
Speaker 9: is dysfunctional. Yet another reason I want to say, highlight
Speaker 9: this hyde Park Square deal right now. Remember hyde Park
Speaker 9: went to all of the meetings and said hey, developer,
Speaker 9: this is not what we want. Right. I think there
Speaker 9: were two members of council who said no and seven
Speaker 9: that said yes, and so it put Hyde Park in
Speaker 9: this position where they had to go out collect signatures
Speaker 9: like I'm collecting to put my name on the ballot.
Speaker 9: They put their issue on the ballot and they're doing
Speaker 9: a referendum and they're putting pressure on the developer. If
Speaker 9: they had a functioning city council, the council would have said, look,
Speaker 9: let's pause this for ninety days. The Planning commissioner said yes.
Speaker 9: I served on the Planning Commission for four years, and
Speaker 9: by the way, I loved the Planning Commission staff, and
Speaker 9: that is since there they know I love them. They
Speaker 9: do great work. But the Planning Commission is saying here's
Speaker 9: our recommendation. When they got to the floor of council,
Speaker 9: there should have been a majority of members saying high Park.
Speaker 9: The people that we represent are saying they have a
Speaker 9: problem with this. We're going to put this on hold
Speaker 9: for ninety days. We're gonna sit down with the developers
Speaker 9: and we're going to negotiate the height and negotiate the issues.
Speaker 9: Because the High Park residents aren't saying they don't want it.
Speaker 9: They're saying they wanted to conform with the zoning that's
Speaker 9: in front of them. Why are you changing the rules
Speaker 9: in the middle of the game. That's the discussion, that's it.
Speaker 9: And so my point is that it's a shame that
Speaker 9: Hyde Park had to go through what they're going through.
Speaker 9: But guess what. Let's talk about bond Hill. Bond Hill
Speaker 9: has development over there, beautiful homes that they're building, five
Speaker 9: hundred thousand dollars, homes that people have invested their money in.
Speaker 9: There was an absolute discussion that no low more low
Speaker 9: income housing was going to go into Badhil. Guess what
Speaker 9: council put low income housing right or they're pursuing this
Speaker 9: right in the heart around these homes that are being built.
Speaker 9: And the point is, I'm not saying that people who
Speaker 9: don't have means have low value or low bad morals
Speaker 9: and blah blah blah, but it's not the agreement that
Speaker 9: they made. And most Americans still have the majority of
Speaker 9: their wealth in their home. So why would city council
Speaker 9: take an action where they keep putting great development in
Speaker 9: other neighborhoods and then look at a middle class really
Speaker 9: solid neighborhood like bond Hill and drop bad things that
Speaker 9: the residents are saying they don't want. These are the
Speaker 9: things that alarm me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it's an interesting reality because forever
Speaker 3: council members would pay lip service the idea of redeveloping communities,
Speaker 3: like how much money was put into over the Rhine
Speaker 3: and making it gentrified and beautifying it and expensive rental properties.
Speaker 3: They wanted to bring in wealthy urban hipsters who pay taxes.
Speaker 3: Isn't that exactly what bond Hill's doing. Shouldn't council welcome
Speaker 3: the idea that people are willing to invest half a
Speaker 3: million dollars in a home. Those are tax payers, Yes.
Speaker 9: And the majority of them, majority of them are African American,
Speaker 9: and they're going, what the heck? They're as frustrated as
Speaker 9: Hyde Park, meaning Hyde Park has to understand that their
Speaker 9: connection to what's happening in price Ville, where there's Warsaw
Speaker 9: Avenue which has been devastated, right around Seaton and right
Speaker 9: around Elder High School. If those high schools weren't there,
Speaker 9: price Hille would have gone the pot they're holding it
Speaker 9: down there. My point is you have a pattern where
Speaker 9: city council. They're not listening to the fifty two neighborhoods.
Speaker 9: This connect community thing that the mayor pushed, who heard
Speaker 9: most of the fifty two neighborhoods say, we don't want this,
Speaker 9: we don't want this, we don't want this. What if
Speaker 9: they do shoved it down their throat. That's why I
Speaker 9: decided to put my name on the ballot. And we
Speaker 9: really hope, Brian, that people will come to Jim and
Speaker 9: Jack starting tomorrow sign the petition if they live in
Speaker 9: the City of Cincinnati. Make this easy for us. Drive
Speaker 9: sign the petition, have a coffee, sit down and put
Speaker 9: my name. Get my name on the ballot. So we
Speaker 9: have a choice because early voting starts October the fourth,
Speaker 9: somewhere around there, thirty days of voting, so this is
Speaker 9: not a lot of time. By the time I get
Speaker 9: the signature, my name goes on the ballot and the
Speaker 9: fifty two neighborhoods have a choice. Do you want me
Speaker 9: back down there to give your neighborhood a voice. You're
Speaker 9: not going to always agree with me, but what you
Speaker 9: will get is the truth, and you'll get somebody with
Speaker 9: common sense who loves the city of Cincinnati. And who
Speaker 9: would never say that Holly was begging for the beatdown
Speaker 9: that she got. I pray that I hear Holly on
Speaker 9: this show five fifty. I hope she comes in and
Speaker 9: gives you an interview. Her interviews are riveting. Anybody that
Speaker 9: hasn't heard that your listening audience needs to hear from
Speaker 9: Holly and her experiences. And I pray to God that
Speaker 9: she comes on your show and gives you an interview.
Speaker 3: And I'm pray to God my city dwelling residence going
Speaker 3: on over to Jim and Jacks tomorrow and next several
Speaker 3: days to sign the petition to get christ from I love.
Speaker 9: You, Brian Thomas, my brother man. We stand together. Thank you, brother.

Speaker 12: It's the only way to stay informed.
Speaker 11: Fifty ARC the Talk Station.
Speaker 3: Eight oh five. Here I think about KRCD Talk Station.
Speaker 3: It being Monday, It's that time of week. Get to
Speaker 3: talk money matters. It's time for money Monday with Brian
Speaker 3: James from Allworth Financial. Brian James, Welcome back to the
Speaker 3: morning show. Hope you had a great weekend. Good morning,
Speaker 3: mister Thomas. Happy hot summer to you. Yeah. Really, I
Speaker 3: thought we were done with that anyway, it is August.
Speaker 3: I guess we'll have to roll with it until the
Speaker 3: cooler temperatures come in. That's okay.
Speaker 18: Uh.
Speaker 3: It takes a little while for these tariffs to kind
Speaker 3: of settle in. You and I have talked a lot
Speaker 3: about Trump's on again, off again tariffs. You know, one
Speaker 3: minute there's a fifty percent tariff, next minute it's been
Speaker 3: held off. Negotiations begin or not, as the case may be,
Speaker 3: the point being, ultimately you hope to sit down with
Speaker 3: a country negotiate something that's palatable to both sides, sometimes successful,
Speaker 3: sometimes not. But higher tariffs everyone has been saying are
Speaker 3: going to result in higher prices, which does make sense.
Speaker 3: Apparently that's starting to trickle in in terms of the
Speaker 3: numbers that are reported.
Speaker 19: Yep, we're starting to see some. You know, we've talked
Speaker 19: about this before. We're hitting the point where, you know,
Speaker 19: when the day we start talking about tariffs and the
Speaker 19: headlines is not the day they start having an impact
Speaker 19: on inflation, right, And in that situation for several months
Speaker 19: and the way companies work. And we've talked about this
Speaker 19: several times too. Remember there was a spike in economic
Speaker 19: activity in Q one that looked fantastic, which wasn't beat
Speaker 19: where the economy is still doing okay as we're sitting
Speaker 19: here right now. The spike in Q one had a
Speaker 19: lot to do with countries just staying ahead. Our companies
Speaker 19: rather staying ahead when these tariffs are going to kick
Speaker 19: in because everybody knew something was on the horizon, we
Speaker 19: just didn't yet know what. Therefore, they were front loading
Speaker 19: their inventories and things they had to buy just to
Speaker 19: stay ahead of the pricing to buy themselves a little time. Well,
Speaker 19: clocks taking and we're now those resources are somewhat depleted.
Speaker 19: We kind of got to get back to where we were.
Speaker 19: So course CPI. Let's switch to today's headlines. Core CPI
Speaker 19: is projected to increase by about a three tenths of
Speaker 19: a percent in July. That's the largest gain since early
Speaker 19: twenty twenty five. I hate when we have headlines like
Speaker 19: that that compared to some historic period that is not
Speaker 19: that long ago, right, largest gain since six months ago.
Speaker 19: Wooh yeah, it's a point, but it's the trajectory of course,
Speaker 19: so yet we are seeing this because this is coming
Speaker 19: from tariff induced price increases, household furnishings, recreational goods, those
Speaker 19: kinds of things. Headline CPI of course, Now this is
Speaker 19: kind of ironic, brind headline. CPI may only rise by
Speaker 19: point by by about point two percent, and that is
Speaker 19: helped by lower gasoline prices. How long has it been
Speaker 19: since we looked at gas and oil as something that's
Speaker 19: keeping inflation in check?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: I know, but I mean you can't deny the reality
Speaker 3: of it. Gas is a lot cheaper right now.
Speaker 19: And we talked about it all summer, right, we skipped
Speaker 19: you and I skipped over the entire vacation period. We
Speaker 19: didn't talk about the price of the pump. I don't
Speaker 19: think I said those words all summer long. No, And
Speaker 19: it's the first year, I think, And I mean this
Speaker 19: is the heavy driving time. Of course, it has been
Speaker 19: since school let out. So the idea that gasoline hasn't
Speaker 19: been up when it traditionally spikes, it's a great omen.
Speaker 19: Are we are we should we anticipate lower price gasoline
Speaker 19: into the future, Brian, You know that, though that's always
Speaker 19: tough to guess. My crystal balls as broke as everybody
Speaker 19: else is. However, we do seem to be in an
Speaker 19: environment where things are friendly, supplies are okay, We've we've
Speaker 19: got more friendly regulation towards drilling in this country.
Speaker 3: Uh, And I think that's what's what's keeping it down.
Speaker 19: There's a lot of people not happy about that, and
Speaker 19: there's you know, there's downsides to all this as well,
Speaker 19: but currently that's what pushes it down the list of
Speaker 19: stuff we should be worried about in terms about the
Speaker 19: overall economy.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm not overly worried that we're going to be
Speaker 3: talking about gas prices in the near future. Well, I
Speaker 3: keep hearing about all these billions of dollars that the
Speaker 3: US has taken in as a consequence of these increased tariffs.
Speaker 3: Where's where's our slice of that action? Brian?
Speaker 19: You know, that's a great question, and I really wish
Speaker 19: somebody could get past Carolyn Lovett with that and just
Speaker 19: force the president to answer to say, where are all
Speaker 19: these dollars going? Great, We're generating all this money, you know,
Speaker 19: from these tariffs, where does it actually van is it
Speaker 19: getting distributed?
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, to to the you know, to the
Speaker 3: people who voted all.
Speaker 19: This into place, my guess is going to be no
Speaker 19: otherwise we'd be talking about that because it would start
Speaker 19: to sell votes for the midterms.
Speaker 3: So my guess is it's simply going in.
Speaker 19: To fill the holes that we're that are being created
Speaker 19: with some of the the tax cuts on corporations. And
Speaker 19: since we focused more on cutting taxes and really haven't
Speaker 19: done much in the way of spending, DOSE seems to
Speaker 19: have kind of gone away.
Speaker 3: Very very quietly, I might add.
Speaker 19: I you know, when you read all this on paper,
Speaker 19: when it became clear what the platform was going to be,
Speaker 19: it sounded like there was going to be a body
Speaker 19: that was going to cut costs and then there was
Speaker 19: going to be a body that was going to figure
Speaker 19: out how to lower taxes in response, so at least
Speaker 19: we keep things whatever balanced means anymore.
Speaker 3: But that does not seem to have happened. I haven't
Speaker 3: whatever happened to that wall of receipts from DOSE.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's a long winded answer to say, I don't know,
Speaker 3: but I sure am curious just like you.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a legiti why I asked it out
Speaker 3: a lot, it's a legitimate question. But I suppose if
Speaker 3: you're looking at all the numbers, let's say at the
Speaker 3: end of the year, we've taken in X billions of dollars.
Speaker 3: That's money that we got that we otherwise wouldn't have received.
Speaker 3: So the numbers, at least in terms of like deficit spending,
Speaker 3: will be less, right, all things being equal, just by
Speaker 3: virtue of the tariffs coming in. Yeah, and that that
Speaker 3: is again paper.
Speaker 19: I want to see this work mechanically, so let's talk
Speaker 19: about the mechanics of it. So when we collect tariffs,
Speaker 19: they're collected by the customs and border patrols, sent directly
Speaker 19: to the treasury.
Speaker 3: They're not ear marked specifically for.
Speaker 19: Anything unless that's unless that's legislatively done, which that's not
Speaker 19: something we do anymore apparently. But usually it just goes
Speaker 19: into the kind of overall general government spending, reducing the
Speaker 19: federal deficit. And sometimes there are specific earmarks for subsidies
Speaker 19: like we mentioned, but that is in the past. That's
Speaker 19: what we've done in the past. Now we are very
Speaker 19: not exactly transparent about where it's going. So we're collecting
Speaker 19: about fifty billion dollars annually, and the average tariff as
Speaker 19: we're sitting here right now is about seventeen percent on
Speaker 19: imported goods. That's the highest it's been since about the
Speaker 19: nineteen thirties, Brian. So somebody is going to have to
Speaker 19: explain where all these dollars are going, since we're bringing
Speaker 19: in more than we have in a century.
Speaker 3: Yep, no doubt. And one of the things I saw
Speaker 3: I noted in the article in terms of price hikes,
Speaker 3: they say firms are having a difficult time hiking prices
Speaker 3: in spite of the fact that they're now facing these
Speaker 3: terriffs they have to deal with because real disposable income
Speaker 3: growth has not been very good for the household. So
Speaker 3: the tail in people who are buying goods and services
Speaker 3: don't have any more money to deal with a price increase,
Speaker 3: which is causing firms and maybe hold off on increasing prices,
Speaker 3: which means their profits are lower, which means their quarterly
Speaker 3: earning statements are going to be lower.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 19: So the narrative that happened during the during the campaign
Speaker 19: and has continued is that other countries are going to
Speaker 19: pay for this, other countries will pay Well, that's not
Speaker 19: really the case. What we're doing is we're increasing the
Speaker 19: cost of doing businesses for domestic company companies who have
Speaker 19: to bring in these resources to create and sell their products,
Speaker 19: they have to pass those through so and eventually the
Speaker 19: consumer has pricing power. We live pretty high on the
Speaker 19: hog in this country, so yes, when we have to,
Speaker 19: that's a good thing. But when we have to, we
Speaker 19: can and do tighten our belts. That's what we're starting
Speaker 19: to see. We're starting to see the end consumer saying,
Speaker 19: you know what, I really don't need this. I can
Speaker 19: find another solution for this problem. I don't need to
Speaker 19: spend this much. And that means those costs are not
Speaker 19: being passed or they are being born, however, by the
Speaker 19: companies that produce those products and services, not the countries
Speaker 19: that sell us the resources.
Speaker 3: All right, and the whole hope I believe by the
Speaker 3: Trump administrations that over time that will re shore a
Speaker 3: lot of the things that we're buying from these higher
Speaker 3: tariff countries. Now you'll choose to build the products here
Speaker 3: in the United States. But you know, there's still this
Speaker 3: long long standing reality that the reason these things got
Speaker 3: off short in the first place, manufacturing, et cetera. If
Speaker 3: it's a hell of a lot cheaper to do it
Speaker 3: in those other countries, question whether the tariff makes that
Speaker 3: historic challenge, you know, to compete with the United States,
Speaker 3: which has all these ocean rules and these environmental rules,
Speaker 3: and it has all these labor rules, and instead of
Speaker 3: making the price of building something here more expensive, does
Speaker 3: that balance that to create a better environment here to
Speaker 3: the extent that it's going to negate the tariff So
Speaker 3: far it would seem to on paper, yes, we are.
Speaker 19: We are seeing headlines of companies that are bringing bringing
Speaker 19: manufacturing on back on shore. So Apple has committed to
Speaker 19: six hundred billion dollars over four years. Right then there's
Speaker 19: a huge plant going in down in Heridsburg, Kentucky. That's
Speaker 19: going to be that's a corning plant that they make
Speaker 19: gorilla glo. Yes, all the glass and iPhones. So there
Speaker 19: are things happening. Taiwan Semiconductors is committing a lot in
Speaker 19: the United States, Nvidia, Hyundai, Ford. There are a lot
Speaker 19: of plans to get these factories up and running. However,
Speaker 19: but like you mentioned, what is it cost to pay
Speaker 19: a factory worker here in the United States versus somewhere else.
Speaker 3: There are so many moving parts to this, Brian.
Speaker 19: You've got countries that we've relied on for I don't know,
Speaker 19: maybe a notch or two above slave labor because they
Speaker 19: earn nothing, but they work in the factories here. You
Speaker 19: can't do that because we do want to maintain a
Speaker 19: certain standard of living for our citizens. However, that makes
Speaker 19: everything more expensive. So what I have not yet seen
Speaker 19: is what falls out. What's the cost of an iPhone
Speaker 19: that is manufactured completely in the United States? How much
Speaker 19: does it go up so that we can have that
Speaker 19: stamp on it?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 19: I don't know what's good or bad about it, but
Speaker 19: that's a question has been answered yet for me.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's that component or element that, well, Americans would
Speaker 3: be more willing to pay a little bit more for
Speaker 3: something made here. I know there's still some of patriotism
Speaker 3: when it comes to choosing where goods and services are
Speaker 3: created and manage.
Speaker 19: Absolutely that still results in inflation somehow, some way. So
Speaker 19: it does you know, political support purposes.
Speaker 3: But money is money. Money is money. Let's come up
Speaker 3: on eight fifty fifty five kr CD talk station. Do
Speaker 3: you want crypto in your four oh one K? And
Speaker 3: some new benefits companies are offering those two more subjects
Speaker 3: we'll get in the next segment with Brian James. I'll
Speaker 3: be right back fifty five KRC dot Com eight nineteen
Speaker 3: fifty five kr CD talk station doing that money Monday
Speaker 3: thing with all of financials, Brian James A. Brian, We've
Speaker 3: talked about this before. Private equity as one of the
Speaker 3: things that they're opening up to include in four to
Speaker 3: one K program investments, along with maybe cryptocurrencies in a
Speaker 3: state of FLUXI appear to be I guess quick question
Speaker 3: up front, why can't we invest our four oh one
Speaker 3: K dollars in these things? Or haven't been able to
Speaker 3: deal with these things already? What's what's wrong with them
Speaker 3: as an investment vehicle.
Speaker 19: Well, in the past, I would say the Department of
Speaker 19: Labor has rules in place. By the way, the Apartment
Speaker 19: of Labor governs four oh one k's retirement plans, not
Speaker 19: directly the SEC. The SEC plays a role, But you
Speaker 19: can own a mutual fund inside your four oh one
Speaker 19: K that is that the DL has an opinion on.
Speaker 19: You can own the exact same tick or symbol mutual
Speaker 19: fund outside in just a plain old broker's account, and
Speaker 19: the DOL has nothing to do with it. So Department
Speaker 19: of Labor historically has weighed in on retirement assets and
Speaker 19: basically decided that the companies who provide them, your employers
Speaker 19: and my employer has a fiduciary obligation to some extent
Speaker 19: to make sure that people don't you know, effectively have
Speaker 19: enough rope to hang themselves. And so that's why over
Speaker 19: the years you've probably seen the reduction and options in
Speaker 19: your four one K. I would see people early in
Speaker 19: my career, they would bring in the list of choices
Speaker 19: they have for all their mutual funds and there'd be
Speaker 19: like fifty of them on there. The result of that
Speaker 19: is people would do nothing and they would leave it
Speaker 19: sit in the money market for ten fifteen years, and
Speaker 19: then we would have to kind of explain exactly how
Speaker 19: much money had been left on the table because they
Speaker 19: didn't sit down and figure out how that works. Now
Speaker 19: so that we dependulum kind of swung the other direction.
Speaker 19: Then we saw a lot of reduction to the choices
Speaker 19: you have and simplification. That's when target date funds came in.
Speaker 19: You know you're going to retire in twenty fifty five.
Speaker 19: Here's here's a catch all fund. Throw it all in
Speaker 19: there and be done with it. And you saw now
Speaker 19: nowadays there are funds out there or fur to one
Speaker 19: k's that have very few options. Pendulum is now swinging
Speaker 19: back the other way. We're throwing the door open. So
Speaker 19: President Trump signed an order on the on August seventh,
Speaker 19: just the other day called Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets
Speaker 19: for four oh one K. I tried to figure out
Speaker 19: the acronym for that.
Speaker 3: There isn't one. I was looking for qt I. I
Speaker 3: was disappointed.
Speaker 19: But anyway, this order directs the d L, the SEC,
Speaker 19: and the Treasury to update their regulations to enable alternative assets.
Speaker 19: This is the kind of stuff such as private equity,
Speaker 19: real estate, cryptocurrency, private debt, private equity, private debt. By
Speaker 19: the way, what those are. Those are direct arrangements between you, you,
Speaker 19: one human being, and some business. There's no exchange, there's
Speaker 19: no stock market, bond market behind it. It's just an
Speaker 19: exchange between you and you know whoever is the borrowing
Speaker 19: entity or taking your capital for their investment. Technology these
Speaker 19: days allows that to happen and mass, which means it
Speaker 19: can look to the sort of like a mutual fund,
Speaker 19: but there are just a lot more or a lot.
Speaker 3: Fewer guardrails, if you will.
Speaker 19: So the reason they're doing this though, Brian, twelve trillion
Speaker 19: dollars is out there in four to one case that
Speaker 19: currently is limited to mostly stock and bond and mutual
Speaker 19: fund type investments. Obviously, there's a lot of people out
Speaker 19: there who want to get their pause on those dollars
Speaker 19: to push capital endeavors.
Speaker 3: Okay, which you know crypto, you know, it's like piece
Speaker 3: of God to me, Brian James. There's so many different
Speaker 3: crypto forms out there, I can't keep track of even
Speaker 3: the names. They seem to come out almost on a
Speaker 3: daily basis. Of course, bitcoin's the most widely known among them.
Speaker 3: And man, the price of bitcoin has gone through the roof.
Speaker 3: But I mean, are are they really more valuable than
Speaker 3: anything but ether? Brian?
Speaker 19: You know, I have said this before on these airwaves
Speaker 19: and I'll say it again, and I'll say it to
Speaker 19: my clients. Crypto has a role, It plays a role
Speaker 19: somehow in our financial world.
Speaker 3: But to me, not yet.
Speaker 19: It's just a medium of speculation, that's all. It is,
Speaker 19: not being I don't even call it currency anymore. We
Speaker 19: just called crypto. Used to be cryptocurrency. Now it's just crypto.
Speaker 19: A currency is something that gets exchanged for other things.
Speaker 19: This is just something we own and we hope the
Speaker 19: price goes up. That's not how it was touted to
Speaker 19: begin with. I believe eventually it will take its role
Speaker 19: there somewhere, because there are a lot of efficiencies and
Speaker 19: things to be gained by doing business on the blockchain. Frankly,
Speaker 19: but whether it's bitcoin or dogecoin or trump coin or
Speaker 19: all of that, that's the speculative side of things.
Speaker 3: So I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 19: I'm not a little I'm significantly concerned about people again
Speaker 19: having way too much access to this.
Speaker 3: So think about it this way.
Speaker 19: If I'm somebody who has never invested, and now I
Speaker 19: can in my four to one K, but I never
Speaker 19: had the opportunity, so I didn't bother to learn. If
Speaker 19: I just go check a box that, yeah, I want
Speaker 19: twenty five percent or fifty or worse in my four
Speaker 19: to one k and whatever the new crypto fund is,
Speaker 19: then I'm going to about to learn a hard lesson
Speaker 19: about life.
Speaker 3: Well, and it sounds to me like a bubble that's
Speaker 3: ripe to burst. Brian, Yeah, it's tough to say. That's
Speaker 3: not the only thing that holds me back on that
Speaker 3: is that the demand is obviously still there.
Speaker 7: I do.
Speaker 19: It's a little different from the other you know, mania
Speaker 19: that we've had in the past, because there does seem
Speaker 19: to be some utility to it at some point. However,
Speaker 19: we are not yet using it that way, and really
Speaker 19: our leaders aren't talking about it that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't go to Kruger and pay your bill
Speaker 3: with crypto, right.
Speaker 19: They don't want it either, because they don't want their
Speaker 19: unerceivable to bounce, you know.
Speaker 3: And the widely fluctuating value of any cryptocurrency in terms
Speaker 3: of its market value, like thirty thousand dollars per coin
Speaker 3: on bitcoin, and that could change tomorrow, it could be
Speaker 3: worth fifteen thousand. How do you judge the value of
Speaker 3: any given transaction with an ever fluctuating, widely fluctuating market.
Speaker 19: It's again, all any investment is is the product of
Speaker 19: an auction. That's all the stock market is. What does
Speaker 19: everybody think it's worth right now?
Speaker 4: Today?
Speaker 3: Your house isn't an auction. Somebody will pay something for it.
Speaker 3: What is the something?
Speaker 19: Cryptocurrency changes twenty four hours, seven days a week. The
Speaker 19: other thing I'll throw out here for those of you
Speaker 19: who might be excited thinking about this, remember, if you're
Speaker 19: dipping your toe in the water dip your small toe,
Speaker 19: because even if this goes the wrong way on you,
Speaker 19: you will not get to deduct the loss because it's
Speaker 19: tax sheltered already inside your four oh one k ooh.
Speaker 3: Valuable point from Brian James. Real quick here, we won't
Speaker 3: have time to dive on really deeply. But is the
Speaker 3: market that competitive for employers out there hiring people that
Speaker 3: they have to offer all these different extra options beyond
Speaker 3: just for one K match and some some medical insurance apparently.
Speaker 19: So we've got some companies out there offering some pretty
Speaker 19: pretty crazy things out there.
Speaker 3: So there's there's the typical, right.
Speaker 19: So Amazon will cover ninety five percent of tuition for
Speaker 19: in demand career training. Starbucks does similar, Walmart target They're
Speaker 19: they're all helping people get higher educations. That's not too crazy.
Speaker 19: That's been out there for a while. But we're now
Speaker 19: starting to see things such as surrogacy, adoption and fertility
Speaker 19: support out there. This isn't a bad thing, it's just
Speaker 19: it's an interesting step that we're taking Morgan Stanley into
Speaker 19: a Deloitte or some of the names on that list.
Speaker 3: Here's a crazy one. Some of the fintech.
Speaker 19: Providers out there, these these are the these are the
Speaker 19: sort of West Coast kind of out there technology companies.
Speaker 19: Mortgage as a benefit, so home buying, education, interest rate discount.
Speaker 19: So in other words, what they're doing is what is
Speaker 19: scaring the pants off of people, and then let's try
Speaker 19: to offer that as some kind of a some kind
Speaker 19: of a benefit to work here. And of course this
Speaker 19: is happening in well, California, because that's where people are
Speaker 19: most scared of thee Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3: Who can afford a home in California? And of course
Speaker 3: something Joe Strecker gets paid vacations with a stipend company
Speaker 3: retreats music festivals. There you go add it to the list. Well,
Speaker 3: if competition's out there and you're gonna have to step
Speaker 3: up to the plate to compete in the market, that's
Speaker 3: what they're doing. Brian James Allworth Financial, appreciate your company

Speaker 10: Cincinnati and we want to continue to do the golf
Speaker 10: tournament every year to make that donation to the Charitable

Speaker 3: my listeners about how cool the since a Children's Charitable
Speaker 3: Care Fund is. What is it that they do.
Speaker 10: That particular part of Children's Hospital With the Care Fund,
Speaker 10: the money goes directly to the families in needs, so
Speaker 10: whether that be medical expenses or maybe stays in Cincinnati
Speaker 10: to be with their be with their children as they're
Speaker 10: going through these difficult situations. It does not go directly
Speaker 10: to the hospital and into the hospital's general fund. They
Speaker 10: do a lot of great work with a lot of
Speaker 10: other organizations that help support the greater good, but we
Speaker 10: wanted to support individual families and folks that are really
Speaker 10: struggling and need to be here to support their children.
Speaker 3: So this goes directly to the families the need, and
Speaker 3: since anty Children's is a magnet from stay across the country.

Speaker 3: living expenses as he mentioned, and other spences that they
Speaker 3: really can't manage, but they do need the wonderful care
Speaker 3: the Children's offers. So you're helping the charitable care fund

Speaker 3: Talk Station. Happy Monday, Brian Thomas, happy to welcome to
Speaker 3: the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Anything we can do
Speaker 3: for the American veterans, which is what the cincinna Va
Speaker 3: is doing each and every day, caring for our American veterans.
Speaker 3: The return of Todd Sledge and the cincinni DA. Welcome back, Todd.
Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure to have you on the fifty
Speaker 3: five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 18: Yeah, good morning to you, Brian, and hopefully you're staying
Speaker 18: cool in.
Speaker 10: This h really unbelievable. We keep having here and.
Speaker 3: Say thank you that. Thank God for air conditioning. Jeez,
Speaker 3: little wiz. Yeah, yeah, real quick, did you get the
Speaker 3: elevator situation sorted out? Todd Sledge? Real quick? For I
Speaker 3: go down that road first?
Speaker 18: Yeah no, yeah, no, I'm glad you asked, Brian. Yeah,
Speaker 18: it is it's currently underway. We have three operating elevator
Speaker 18: base out of our four of those man elevators, so
Speaker 18: they're slowly coming to fruition and back up and operating
Speaker 18: and that problem fully will be resolved here very soon.
Speaker 3: Glad to hear that. So then elevator is no longer
Speaker 3: a problem with the VA. All right, moving over, how
Speaker 3: did it go at the Country Music vestl you head
Speaker 3: out the VOA Park.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was fantastic.
Speaker 18: We had an opportunity to showcase one of our mobile
Speaker 18: unit assets out there starting Thursday through Sunday, and we
Speaker 18: had about approximately over two hundred veterans come through through
Speaker 18: our area and engaging us and talk with us. And
Speaker 18: one of the things we're really happy about is we
Speaker 18: got twenty.
Speaker 3: Five new veterans rolled in the VA healthcare.
Speaker 18: System over the weekend, but just more and more folks
Speaker 18: that's coming. By asking questions, you know, trying to confirm things,
Speaker 18: gave out a lot of information. But I got to say, Brian,
Speaker 18: one of the things that you and I have talked
Speaker 18: about for a long time, and something I've been challenged
Speaker 18: with I'm really blessed with for the last thirty years,
Speaker 18: is just talking with veterans. But you know there's a
Speaker 18: lot of veterans still out there that are not enrolled
Speaker 18: because you know, well, I don't want to take away
Speaker 18: things from other people that need it more than me,
Speaker 18: or somebody deserves it more. Every veteran deserves the opportunity
Speaker 18: to use their benefits here in Cincinnati. But it was
Speaker 18: a good time out there, and kudos to those folks
Speaker 18: that put on that event.
Speaker 3: Had to be a lot of work, Oh absolutely, and
Speaker 3: I'm glad you got this. Twenty five veterans signed up,
Speaker 3: and I can't encourage my veteran audience to really consider
Speaker 3: signing up. I mean, some I guess are priced out
Speaker 3: of eligibility if your earnings are too high. But my
Speaker 3: default is to sort of look at it. It's like, well,
Speaker 3: you got paid X, but that X salary that you
Speaker 3: made when your active duty sort of factored in or
Speaker 3: didn't include this valuable post service benefit that you get
Speaker 3: from the VA. I mean you think about hearing aids
Speaker 3: and glasses and mental health services and all these things
Speaker 3: the VA provides by way of medical care that's there
Speaker 3: and available to the veterans for free. It's why wouldn't
Speaker 3: you take advantage of it. He asked, yeah, no, I
Speaker 3: totally agree.
Speaker 18: And we had that question a lot of times a
Speaker 18: lot this weekend, and the veterans that said, you know,
Speaker 18: I was told I was over income or I didn't
Speaker 18: meet this kind of threshold, so you know, which will
Speaker 18: lead into our next conversation, talk to a service officer.
Speaker 18: I encourage every veteran to talk to a service officer
Speaker 18: about filing a claim because you know, depending on you know,
Speaker 18: the natural mos that veterans say have, there are conditions
Speaker 18: that they've probably experienced later on in life that are
Speaker 18: result from their service in the military. I was talking
Speaker 18: to one gentleman just jokingly. He said, yeah, I was
Speaker 18: a rifleman and he had two hearing aids in his ears. Yeah,
Speaker 18: And I said, do you get this through the VA?
Speaker 18: He goes, No, he goes.
Speaker 10: I got him out of the private sector, and I
Speaker 10: distantly asked him.
Speaker 18: What he paid for him thousand, five thousand dollars five
Speaker 18: thousand dollars each, I knew, so when I told him that,
Speaker 18: when I told him about what.
Speaker 10: We could be doing for him, his his wife gave
Speaker 10: him that gentle love cap on the shoulder and said, see,
Speaker 10: I told just so. So it's things like that, and
Speaker 10: I think a lot of veterans, as we talked over
Speaker 10: the weekend, is they don't realize that you can have
Speaker 10: private health insurance and use the VA, which is a
Speaker 10: huge plus.
Speaker 18: It's a huge plus because it allows you to if
Speaker 18: something's too expensive or something you shouldn't be paying out
Speaker 18: of pocket for it in the private sector, you can
Speaker 18: get that done at the VA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think of the massive out of pocket liability
Speaker 3: you've got before insurance even kicks in. Hey, how about
Speaker 3: the VA. There's a great option.
Speaker 18: Yeah, absolutely, No, absolutely, especially you know when I think
Speaker 18: about the prescription program that we have, the you know,
Speaker 18: especially the imagery that we do here, the eyeglasses and
Speaker 18: the hearing aids, those big bulk expenses, and then of course,
Speaker 18: you know you and I always talk about mental health services.
Speaker 18: Those are big Those are big financial challenges sometimes, you know,
Speaker 18: one of the things that you need, and we can
Speaker 18: we can really all set and help that here at
Speaker 18: the VA here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: And real quick, some veteran out there going, Okay, you
Speaker 3: convinced me, Where do I sign up?
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's pretty simple. You know, we have a direct
Speaker 18: dial number, uh to our eligibility office and that number
Speaker 18: is five one three four seven five six four nine nine.
Speaker 18: It's five one three four seven, five six four nine nine.
Speaker 18: It's a direct dial number. Talk to our eligibility specialist.
Speaker 18: If you're a caargiver out there, if you're the one
Speaker 18: that's you know, managing your loved ones healthcare, you can
Speaker 18: call get some information, but you can't directly enroll that
Speaker 18: veteran unless you have a power of attorney. But that's
Speaker 18: how simple it is to get the process started.
Speaker 3: Todd Sledge will bring it back and talk about the
Speaker 3: upcoming Military and Veterans Appreciation Day more with Todd Sledge
Speaker 3: from the Cincinntava.

Speaker 18: running an event called Operation thank You, and we've actually
Speaker 18: decided to come together and join one force this year
Speaker 18: with a huge support, and this is a Hamilton County
Speaker 18: Veterans Appreciation Day that's going to be happening in August
Speaker 18: twenty third down at Sawyer Point. It's going to be
Speaker 18: from two to ten pm on that day. Everything is
Speaker 18: free to attend. There's free parking, there's some free food,
Speaker 18: a lot of great music entertainment. One of the things
Speaker 18: I'm excited about, Brian with this with Hamilton County Military
Speaker 18: and Veterans Appreciation Day happening on that day on the
Speaker 18: twenty third, is there's over ninety different veteran resource boosts
Speaker 18: that's going to be there in one particular day for
Speaker 18: veterans to come through. So if you if you veterans,
Speaker 18: you have an opportunity to get out from everything that
Speaker 18: you want to know about all the types of resources
Speaker 18: that are available to families and caregivers and everybody alike.
Speaker 18: This is a great event to do that in a
Speaker 18: great setting down there. They'll be like I said, from
Speaker 18: two to ten. All those boosts will be available first hand,
Speaker 18: face to face encounters with folks. There'll be a lot
Speaker 18: of different food trucks, there's music entertainment that goes on
Speaker 18: throughout the day, and then it ends the evening with
Speaker 18: a nice fireworks display down there and down there at
Speaker 18: Sawyer Points. So folks can go to www dot hcv
Speaker 18: SC dot org or you can just google Hamilton County
Speaker 18: Veterans Appreciation Day. We're really looking forward to this with all.
Speaker 10: Of our partners.

Speaker 18: on the website for the for the appreciation event we do,
Speaker 18: we would be it is recommended to advance and forward,

Speaker 18: it just makes it easier when veterans get there and
Speaker 18: it gives us a nice head count on you know
Speaker 18: who's coming forward. I know, the Great American Ballpark event
Speaker 18: that Hamilton County had last year, roughly about twenty five
Speaker 18: hundred veterans that signed up and came through the operation.
Speaker 18: Think you had about twelve hundred, So we're expecting a
Speaker 18: really good crowd for this, you know, coming together. I
Speaker 18: want to thank Orlando so Auza, you know, before he
Speaker 18: you know, he departs from his seat. There is a
Speaker 18: wonderful partner working with this in the entire office. What
Speaker 18: Hamilton County has been great and they deserve all the
Speaker 18: credit for putting this together. And we're just happy to
Speaker 18: be a partner and share the news and be there
Speaker 18: with all of our staff. We're going to have people
Speaker 18: there from our caregivers, our community outreach, our Veterans Justice
Speaker 18: Outreach program. You can enroll again, here's another opportunity two
Speaker 18: weekends in enroll to come see us into help out.
Speaker 18: So we're looking forward to it, and it really is
Speaker 18: an appreciation day with the food and the music and
Speaker 18: everything that goes on. Well, considering your characterization in the
Speaker 18: name of the event appreciation Day, it sounds to me
Speaker 18: like all the veterans that you can handle are welcome,
Speaker 18: and of course all these different uh uh you know
Speaker 18: services that are out there, the ninety booths. But are
Speaker 18: the regular joes like ne of the world invited to
Speaker 18: show up and show their support for the American veterans. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 18: you know, we want, you know, we want, we'd love
Speaker 18: to have the general community come there and do that
Speaker 18: and be a part of that. You know, we also
Speaker 18: do for our other partner with the Association of the
Speaker 18: United States Army. They actually have cadets that have you know,
Speaker 18: made the commitment they're going to be taking their oath
Speaker 18: that day right there. They go down there in front
Speaker 18: of that commander that we'll be doing that. So, yeah,
Speaker 18: the general community is definitely welcome.
Speaker 10: Love to have you there.
Speaker 18: If you're a military guy and you want to see
Speaker 18: some cool military vehicles and relics, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: The kids love it, you know.
Speaker 10: There they get who day to come down and mister
Speaker 10: red it. It really is a festival type of appreciation government.
Speaker 10: But you can also get some answers and talk talk
Speaker 10: to a lot of people with a lot of resources.
Speaker 3: Now, will there be employers there? I means employment opportunity
Speaker 3: time for my veteran friends.
Speaker 18: There will be a couple of employers there as well.
Speaker 18: We've had some people sign up with that as well,
Speaker 18: you know, the folks that focus on hiring veterans and
Speaker 18: doing things.
Speaker 10: And plus one of our.
Speaker 18: Divisions from the VA, with our Community Outreach Division, they'll
Speaker 18: have one of their employment specialists there as well.
Speaker 3: Great employment opportunities as well as all the other services.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's going to be an overwhelming amount of
Speaker 3: information and opportunities available for the veteran community. And of
Speaker 3: course I encourage my listeners to show up just to
Speaker 3: show your support for the American veterans in the active military.
Speaker 3: Todd Sledge and the since any VA on behalf of
Speaker 3: my listening audience and me personally, thank you for all
Speaker 3: that you're doing there for my veterans out there, and

Speaker 3: in the complaint box or address whatever issue you have
Speaker 3: with the VA. Todd and the team will do their
