Speaker 1: When you turn on your work computer, turn us on
Speaker 1: Love listening all day fifty five KRCS work with the
Speaker 1: Tall Stories.
Speaker 2: While do you work.
Speaker 1: Five o five.
Speaker 2: At fifty five k r C the talk station Happy Monday.
Speaker 3: Some sense.
Speaker 2: Education worker hard Yeah, reading my mind, Joe Drucker, Dude,
Speaker 2: what the hell? In anticipation of Kencover, the FOP president
Speaker 2: for the Ininsint Police Department, the violins continues and there's
Speaker 2: no utterance from the mayor of the City of Insinety
Speaker 2: Can I joined the program at seven oh five, followed
Speaker 2: by a Christopher Smithman. We've got a text from the
Speaker 2: other I'm going to I think it's something along the
Speaker 2: line I'm going to be on fire tomorrow. He is
Speaker 2: h I'm guessing I apologize for the cough. Also going
Speaker 2: to be speaking to the violence. I'm guessing on that though,
Speaker 2: But considering the a level of violence in the number
Speaker 2: of shootings and uh well, assaults and thefts, ander crime
Speaker 2: is rampant in downtown Cincinnati, So I suspect that's where
Speaker 2: Christopher's going to go on the heels of Ken Kobra.
Speaker 2: He'll be on at seven to twenty for the Smither
Speaker 2: event and then we'll hear from the cincinnti VA. Fast
Speaker 2: forward to the end of the program. Christina Hall from
Speaker 2: the cincinnti VA with some information for our veteran friends
Speaker 2: out of the listing audience. I love hearing from you.
Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 2: hundred eighty two to three talk or go with town
Speaker 2: five fifty on at and T Funds. Hope you had
Speaker 2: a wonderful Independence Day weekend. I sure did. It was nice,
Speaker 2: of course, sleeping in on an otherwise normal work day
Speaker 2: and got to spend some time with friends and family,
Speaker 2: which is always really a nice thing to do. Relaxing indeed,
Speaker 2: And I hope you can say the same thing. I
Speaker 2: hope you weren't in Blue Ash for the outrageous display
Speaker 2: of fireworks, random shooting of fireworks into the crowds of
Speaker 2: people that were trying to peacefully and calmly enjoy their
Speaker 2: Independence Day celebration. Four hundred unaccompanied youth setting off fireworks
Speaker 2: on a whole bunch of occasions during the Mad Tree,
Speaker 2: Red White and Blue Ash for the July event at
Speaker 2: Summon Park, intentionally causing panic. Got details on that, of course,
Speaker 2: that's part of the way of crimes going through. But
Speaker 2: get a load of this, Joe. Where'd you get the
Speaker 2: list of the criminal activity in downtown Cincinnati that you
Speaker 2: put together? It's from the CINCINNT Police Department data well,
Speaker 2: anticipating the conversations we're going to have about the violence.
Speaker 2: It's a list of the crimes that happened just pretty
Speaker 2: much in the central district of downtown Cincinnati between June
Speaker 2: and July fourth, only up till about seven o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning on July fourth. Of course, we had a
Speaker 2: lot of issues that after seven o'clock in the morning
Speaker 2: of July fourth, assault, Vine Street, theft, Walnut Street near
Speaker 2: ninth Court Street, got a bunch of them. And this
Speaker 2: is all seemed to be, you know, it's kind of
Speaker 2: concentrated the same general area. Assault, Court Street, theft, Court Street.
Speaker 2: These are all between three o'clock in the morning and noon.
Speaker 2: Garfield plays assault, Central Parkway, something else happened, arrest, Garfield
Speaker 2: plays robbery, Vine Street, assault, Main Street, theft, Court Street,
Speaker 2: there's Court Street again, Court Street, all over the place
Speaker 2: on this one theft, assault, theft, theft, theft, assault, other assault,
Speaker 2: talking again, Central Parkway got seventh Street, Court Street, Seventh
Speaker 2: Street again, Walnut Street, Main Street, Seventh Street again, Central
Speaker 2: Parkway again, Main Street again. Noticing a pattern on here. Oh,
Speaker 2: look Freedom Freedom Way for an assault, there's one out
Speaker 2: of the oh and Joe knuts All Way, there's one again,
Speaker 2: another one on Freedom Way. These are out several hours
Speaker 2: in between each other. Ogden Place, there's Walllingon again, Ogden
Speaker 2: Place again, Third Street, Third Street, Walnont Street, Main Street,
Speaker 2: Fourth Street, all just seemingly right there in the center
Speaker 2: of the city. I mean, we're not talking about in
Speaker 2: you know, other notorious neighborhoods, some that have been struggling
Speaker 2: with crime for a long time, the areas that might
Speaker 2: immediately come to your mind we think about criminally related activity.
Speaker 2: This is walking around down town Cincinnati, so really giving
Speaker 2: you a feeling of comfort going on there. And then
Speaker 2: look at the headlines this morning. I'll get to them
Speaker 2: with local stories. Two teens injured in West End shooting
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, hmm seven hundred block at Chestnut Street. Three
Speaker 2: people hospitalized after a shooting near the banks Saturday morning.
Speaker 2: Three people hospitalized one thirty am a near on Walnuts
Speaker 2: Street between sixth and ninth familiar location based upon the
Speaker 2: list of the ones that preceded Saturday that I just
Speaker 2: read from police investigated incident believed to involve shots at
Speaker 2: fired at officers in Westwood Saturday night, obviously called the
Speaker 2: twenty nine hundred block west of Northern Boulevard for a
Speaker 2: person believed to be having a mental health episode. Three
Speaker 2: people have been taken to the hospital after a shooting
Speaker 2: in Winton Hills happened Saturday night ten pm. So seems
Speaker 2: we have a bit of a crime problem going on
Speaker 2: in the city of Cincinnati. And you know, this has
Speaker 2: been a terear for Christopher for a while now, and
Speaker 2: I've made comments on it too, because I share his concern.
Speaker 2: We have obviously a very left leaning mayor of the
Speaker 2: City of Cincinnati. I'm not quite sure if he is
Speaker 2: embraced completely behind the scenes or otherwise. The whole idea
Speaker 2: of defund the police, but reimagining the police is different
Speaker 2: wording for the same general topic. And so when you
Speaker 2: start sending out, you know, counselors to in little police officers.
Speaker 2: When counselors are hired as a chunk of the police
Speaker 2: officer's budget, that means there's fewer active patrol officers out
Speaker 2: there available. So someone's having a mental health breakdown, you'll
Speaker 2: get a counselor sent to that. But what happens if
Speaker 2: that devolves into criminal activity? What happens to that mental
Speaker 2: health problems results in that person with the mental health
Speaker 2: problem pulling out a firearm and starting shooting at people.
Speaker 2: Be nice to have a cop there to respond. And
Speaker 2: the budget implications if you're allocating resources that are not
Speaker 2: going to police officers, when your police force has already
Speaker 2: been depleted and running at numbers that are dangerously low,
Speaker 2: leaving a limited number of officers there to respond to
Speaker 2: actual emergency calls, you're exacerbating a thank you to the
Speaker 2: I have to approvol administration. This is the direction they're
Speaker 2: going to move in, I'm sure. And he's talked about
Speaker 2: it before Camcover, he'll probably talk about it again today,
Speaker 2: And I'm you know, police are there to pretty much
Speaker 2: clean up the mess. How do we get to an
Speaker 2: environment where we have really, in a lot of these cases,
Speaker 2: really really young people going around and getting all shooty
Speaker 2: at other people. If you're my age, did you ever
Speaker 2: even contemplate something as bat crap? And same as that
Speaker 2: breakdown of the family, social.
Speaker 4: Media just.
Speaker 2: I don't know, reminded of line from one of these
Speaker 2: racially charged incidents. Why can't we just get along anyway?
Speaker 2: Five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
Speaker 2: eighty two to three dog pound fig fifty on at
Speaker 2: and T funds away. I wish someone out there had
Speaker 2: an answer to the problem. Oh all we need to
Speaker 2: do is this, And what a horrific Moving aside, these
Speaker 2: flash floods in Texas. Have you seen the video? Oh
Speaker 2: my god, it's just amazing how quickly that the flood
Speaker 2: had an impact, how quickly the river levels rose. It
Speaker 2: was just an almost immediate thing. And now the death
Speaker 2: toll is up to at least eighty two people. Rescuers
Speaker 2: still searching for missing people, ten girls and a counselor
Speaker 2: from that camp that keeps coming up camp and Mystic,
Speaker 2: which apparently is racist too. We've got some former board
Speaker 2: official out there named Sadie Perkins, remember the Houston feud
Speaker 2: Food Insecurity Board claiming that it was just white girls
Speaker 2: and if it was Hispanic girls in the camp Mystic,
Speaker 2: then nobody would give a damn. It's just an insane
Speaker 2: and direction. It's you know, everybody's trying to make the
Speaker 2: most out of this in terms of political advantage. How
Speaker 2: do you try to take political advantage of a situation
Speaker 2: involving this tragedy. Now some may say, well, Republicans did
Speaker 2: it when it came to Los Angeles wildfires. Yes, but
Speaker 2: there is a causal connection between the mismanagement of forestry
Speaker 2: and the allocation of resources and the preparedness for a
Speaker 2: fires that everybody knew were going to come. So maybe
Speaker 2: loss of life could have been prevented, maybe loss of
Speaker 2: property could have been prevented in the leading up to it.
Speaker 2: But there were multiple warnings given to the area about
Speaker 2: this flood. I mean that twelve hours in advance. They
Speaker 2: upgraded it four hours in advance of an emergency flood, Like,
Speaker 2: somebody better pay attention. But if people are sound asleep
Speaker 2: and they're not getting the warnings that are coming from
Speaker 2: the Weather Service, then they're not going to get the
Speaker 2: warnings that are coming from the Weather Service. People were
Speaker 2: warned in advance. Seriously, do you take warnings like this
Speaker 2: when you are in a flood zone? Do you do
Speaker 2: you consider moving out when someone tells you there's flash
Speaker 2: flood warnings in your area. That seems to me, there's
Speaker 2: only so much people can do. Do you evacuate Camp
Speaker 2: Mystic because of what the Weather Service said? I may argue, yeah,
Speaker 2: you should have. Did they have a plan in place
Speaker 2: to get move people out in the event that there
Speaker 2: was an emergency issued? I don't know. Still forty one
Speaker 2: people confirmed unaccounted for, according to Governor Greg Abbott. The
Speaker 2: most recent reporting on this from yesterday evening claim they're
Speaker 2: going to be searching until everybody is found. That's told,
Speaker 2: they say is certain to rise more over the next
Speaker 2: several days. According to authorities that are on the scene there,
Speaker 2: volunteers and families of the missing who drove to the
Speaker 2: disaster zone were searching the river banks. Authorities telling them
Speaker 2: not to and stay away from it. It's dangerous, but
Speaker 2: obviously they're wanting to help out. Authorities facing growing questions
Speaker 2: about weather. Enough warnings were issued in an area along
Speaker 2: vulnerable to flooding and weather enough preparations were made. See
Speaker 2: those are the looming questions. But this isn't like it
Speaker 2: came out of nowhere. Much in the California wildfires. They
Speaker 2: didn't come out of nowhere. It's happened before. It's going
Speaker 2: to happen again. Maybe it's like the boy who cried wolf. Oh,
Speaker 2: We've gotten so many flood warnings and watches and nothing
Speaker 2: ever happened, So why would we bother paying attention to
Speaker 2: this one at this time?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: National Weather Service provided over twelve hours of advanced notice
Speaker 2: via the flood watch, that's an initial cap on that,
Speaker 2: and over three hours of lead time for the flash
Speaker 2: flood warnings with escalated alerts as the storm intensified. That's
Speaker 2: according to the Department of Homeland Security who looked into
Speaker 2: the matters. And apparently some are arguing that the DOGE
Speaker 2: cuts the lack of weather forecasters somehow had something to
Speaker 2: do with this. In other words, DOGE cutting some entity
Speaker 2: of government is a causal connection with the death of
Speaker 2: these eighty two and growing number of people in Central Texas.
Speaker 2: But apparently no normally two weather forecasters on the job
Speaker 2: in that particular area. They upped it to five, so
Speaker 2: no staff shortage in connection with the weather forecasters five
Speaker 2: seventeen fifty five. Care see the talk station Emery. Federal
Speaker 2: Credit Union's got their golf outing coming up. It's a
Speaker 2: wonderful opportunity to get together. Maybe some friends put a
Speaker 2: foursome together and well help charity. Well enjoying a great
Speaker 2: day nineteenth Annuel Charity Golf Tournament benefiting since Saint Children's
Speaker 2: Hospital Charitable Care Fund. It's got four Bridges Country Club
Speaker 2: again Monday, August eighteenth. So you got a great day golf,
Speaker 2: opportunity to spend a support a worthy cause and again
Speaker 2: maybe do some networking. Yeah, I've seen that go on
Speaker 2: there at the golf tournament to a few words to
Speaker 2: speak through the golfers as they head off on the
Speaker 2: great day in the round of golf. So EMORYFCU dot

Speaker 2: five KRCD talk station five went three seven, four nine, fifty,
Speaker 2: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talks found five
Speaker 2: fifty on eighteen and t phunds the student observations from
Speaker 2: the executives. So the fifty five KC Morning Show, Joe Strecker,
Speaker 2: I was asking if people had any ideas about how
Speaker 2: to stop the violence in downtown. You know, what's the
Speaker 2: origin of it? Why does it seem to get worse?
Speaker 2: Why don't parents seem to really care where their young
Speaker 2: people are at any given hour of the day. Well,
Speaker 2: the silence is definitely from the mayor of the City
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati on the topic. We know that he alerted me,
Speaker 2: Joe advised me that police Chief three so that Thiji
Speaker 2: was out of town over the weekend. I hadn't read that.
Speaker 2: I trust Joda's word. Why would he lie to me?
Speaker 2: But if you're going to schedule a vacation and you're
Speaker 2: the chief of police. How prudent is it to go
Speaker 2: out of town on one of the busier holiday weekends,
Speaker 2: most notably when the temperatures are through the roof and
Speaker 2: violence tends to get a little more. He didn't know
Speaker 2: if no pun intended. When the temperatures are up in
Speaker 2: the humidity, it's a known phenomenon. People talk about it
Speaker 2: all the time. The summer heats on its way, violence
Speaker 2: is going to increase. People don't play it as nicely
Speaker 2: together when they're heating. So I'm not sure you can
Speaker 2: say anything about the absence of police Chiefdiji and uptick
Speaker 2: in the violence over the weekend. But I thought that
Speaker 2: the violences. Didn't they suspend e scooters and red bikes, Joe,
Speaker 2: I wasn't that supposed to solve the problem? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so that's phase one of your proposals. Stop all red
Speaker 2: bikes and e scooters and then tell all the young
Speaker 2: people to go skating midnight, roller skating and it's all over. Well,
Speaker 2: they've got that, and they suspended the e bike and
Speaker 2: the red bike use over the weekend. That didn't seem
Speaker 2: to have any impact. But the other component, I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's phase one or Phase three or Phase
Speaker 2: two factor it in there. As I read the list
Speaker 2: of crimes, and they seem to be concentrated in a
Speaker 2: particular area of downtown y I got Court Street, you
Speaker 2: got Walnut Street, you got I mean Main Street, over
Speaker 2: and over again. Thefts, violence, assaults, that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: It's the streetcar line. A lot of these crimes occur
Speaker 2: on the streetcar line. So Phase three or one or
Speaker 2: two is shut down the street car maybe it won't
Speaker 2: happen anymore. Just a thought, just the thought and the impact.
Speaker 2: Speaking of law enforcement, I thought this was rather frightening. Fortunately,
Speaker 2: we don't live in New York City, where the leftist
Speaker 2: Zorhan Mondomini is widely predicted to be the next mayor.
Speaker 2: Is scaring the living hell out of people who live
Speaker 2: in New York, scaring the living hell about across the
Speaker 2: political spectrum, even within the Democrat Party, who are trying
Speaker 2: to scramble to figure out how it helld is they
Speaker 2: can pull the plug on this COMMI well, police officers
Speaker 2: also pulling the plug on this commedy they have. They're
Speaker 2: leaving New York police in record numbers, and there's warnings
Speaker 2: that if this Zorhan Mandomi is elected a mayor, they're
Speaker 2: going to lose more police officers. As of this week,
Speaker 2: one five hundred and fifty five officers have filed for retirement,
Speaker 2: described as a forty eight percent increase from those who
Speaker 2: left during the same period last year, a sixty five
Speaker 2: percent increase from a decade ago, when only nine hundred
Speaker 2: and forty one cops turned in their badges. This is
Speaker 2: data from the Police Benevolent Association, says the union leaders
Speaker 2: told put the New York Posts are not aware of
Speaker 2: any point in New York Police Department history when we
Speaker 2: retirements in the first half of the year have reached
Speaker 2: this level. They say it's being driven in large part
Speaker 2: by the growing concern that the Mondomni platform in Redick
Speaker 2: would make policing in New York City even more untenable.
Speaker 2: He's previously called the New York Police Department wicked and corrupt.
Speaker 2: He's also saying it's it previously said it should be dismantled.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's great for morale for the Cincini Police,
Speaker 2: for the New York City Police Department. But this is
Speaker 2: a guy who out loud regularly complains about and has
Speaker 2: historically complained about police. Generally speaking, it's part of the problem,
Speaker 2: the problem with the system. I don't know the mayor,
Speaker 2: Aftab Purval has out loud complained to the level of
Speaker 2: the communist Mondomni, But again going back to the silence,
Speaker 2: the fact that he's not out there supporting police and
Speaker 2: asking neighborhoods to cooperate with police on a regular basis
Speaker 2: in order to deal with the violence that we're facing
Speaker 2: a downtown Cincinnati. I think it's reflective of maybe we
Speaker 2: can read into what his position is relative to the
Speaker 2: police department. Maybe the leftist mayor of the city of
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is afraid of irking some of the far left
Speaker 2: within his own party and decides, well, it's better to
Speaker 2: just remain quiet and not say anything in favor of police,
Speaker 2: but not say anything against police. Just shut up and
Speaker 2: hide in my basement. Five twenty six five KRC the

Speaker 2: Local twelve reporting that one killed in a shooting in
Speaker 2: a sense a neighborhood, specifically Avondale, Avondale, one thirty am.
Speaker 2: Hutchins Avenue, reading Road. Hey over to the phone's order,
Speaker 2: which they received. Tom's first, Tom, Welcome to the morning show,
Speaker 2: Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I had a pretty good weekend.
Speaker 5: How about you?
Speaker 2: Oh it was great, always great, having a three day weekend.
Speaker 2: Absolutely enjoyed it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: The US, that story in Texas, that's sad. I don't
Speaker 8: want to get too political about that. There's really not
Speaker 8: much political about it to me. It's just, uh, it's
Speaker 8: it's taking advantage of cheap property down in a river valley,
Speaker 8: and that's just an unfortunate consequence you might get out
Speaker 8: of that. So well, people around here, I mean people
Speaker 8: around here understand that clearly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know it's terrain based, it's weather based.
Speaker 2: I mean, who who in the hell could predict you
Speaker 2: the twelve inches of rain in like an hour or
Speaker 2: something crazy like that. I was like it was somebody
Speaker 2: flipped the switch, the flood started and it just immediately
Speaker 2: inundated the area that I don't know there's anything you
Speaker 2: can prepare for. Are you gonna uh re terrain the
Speaker 2: entire area cut out the valley somehow I bulldoze it
Speaker 2: or something. So no, it's a flood prone area based
Speaker 2: upon the geography, and you know, the warnings were issued.
Speaker 2: There's only so much you can do. I feel terribly
Speaker 2: for those folks though. If you look at the end
Speaker 2: of the water flowing, Oh my lord, who could have
Speaker 2: expected something like that?
Speaker 8: Whoa something that we all desperately need badly. But man,
Speaker 8: they can do some severe day image we had. We
Speaker 8: had that in our building here right after right actually
Speaker 8: right before we opened it, there was a there was
Speaker 8: some water issues because of a big heavy rain that
Speaker 8: we got about a month or so ago. So yeah,
Speaker 8: it's it's water. Is water to be really really bad.
Speaker 8: So there's, like I said, there's people around here that
Speaker 8: do all too well. I did want to touch on
Speaker 8: this whole issue with the University of Pennsylvania and uh
Speaker 8: that it sounds like they fixed it, got it right. Uh,
Speaker 8: but what whate it would we be if Trump had
Speaker 8: won the election? Would that had ever happened? And uh,
Speaker 8: you know there's an article there was an article about
Speaker 8: a particular young lady that had to She was assigned
Speaker 8: to locker right next to this dude, and she would
Speaker 8: go over to the other side of the locker room
Speaker 8: to change or or use a different locker room across
Speaker 8: the hall or whatever. And and look, I understand you're
Speaker 8: being put in a bad position, but that's the time
Speaker 8: to speak up. And uh, you know, they're talking about
Speaker 8: their their their careers and their futures being threatened. That's
Speaker 8: the time to speak up. And the more of them
Speaker 8: to speak up, the better, you know. The biggest voice
Speaker 8: we heard through that whole thing was Riley Gaines. And
Speaker 8: he didn't even go to school there, So I don't
Speaker 8: want to bash on his young lady. I understand she
Speaker 8: was she was in a bad position, but but that's
Speaker 8: the time to speak up and say, now, this is
Speaker 8: not right and this is not fair. We're not doing this.
Speaker 8: I'm not even gonna step onto this platform to swim
Speaker 8: if this is going to be the conditions I got
Speaker 8: to be, you know, work under. So yeah, thank god
Speaker 8: that Trump won the election and and that you know,
Speaker 8: some some wrongs have been righted, and hopefully more to come.
Speaker 8: And and uh, the only way to keep this going
Speaker 8: people is don't vote Democrat. I have a great day, Brian.
Speaker 2: Thanks Tom, You do the same well. And it takes
Speaker 2: a very very strong young person to stand up in
Speaker 2: the face of this what seems to be overwhelming support
Speaker 2: for men competing against women. That is not true. The
Speaker 2: support is not overwhelming poll after poll after poll. So
Speaker 2: is that eighty percent of the American population, people of
Speaker 2: all political stripes, are against the concept of men competing
Speaker 2: against women in sports. You wouldn't know that based on
Speaker 2: social media, but you run the risk of all kinds
Speaker 2: of problems, and young emotionally sensitive girls, women, you know,
Speaker 2: have a lot to put you at stake. If they
Speaker 2: open their mouth and speak out against that notion, They're
Speaker 2: going to get docs, They're going to get their fixtures
Speaker 2: posted all over the place. They're going to get you know,
Speaker 2: probably violent emails and death threats for daring to say
Speaker 2: the obvious. So it's a huge decision making thing. And
Speaker 2: I can understand fear being an impediment to getting out
Speaker 2: there and talking about your experience and how terrible it
Speaker 2: was having to compete against a man and having to
Speaker 2: see his junk in a locker room. That's emotionally traumatic
Speaker 2: for many young women. There's bad enough. You got to
Speaker 2: be in there and you have to have body elements.
Speaker 2: You're looking at your fellow women, and maybe you're feeling
Speaker 2: sort of, you know, a little concerned about your body
Speaker 2: as it relates to the other women in the room. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh I'm fat compared to so and so. Hell, you
Speaker 2: got that going for you already, But now here comes
Speaker 2: a guy with his junk hanging out. I just can't
Speaker 2: imagine that struggle five thirty six fifty five K City
Speaker 2: Talks Station. Although I can't imagine someone's reluctance to say
Speaker 2: something out loud about it. How about fifteen hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty dollars off? That's serious money. It's off a new
Speaker 2: carrier comforting system from my friends at Zimmer Heating and Cooling.

Speaker 2: lose their heat in the wintertime, but it does happen now.
Speaker 2: Zimberal service anything you got, they do great work. They're

Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Behold the boot.
Speaker 2: Five forty one. If it's five KRCE talk station, you're
Speaker 2: having a happy Monday. FOP President Kenkober at seven oh
Speaker 2: five on the violence, which seems to be getting worse
Speaker 2: in the city. Follow like Christopher smitheman, don't know what
Speaker 2: he's going to tear have a tear on, but something
Speaker 2: tells me he's going to be on the same topic.
Speaker 2: Could be wrong. We'll find out together. At seven twenty,
Speaker 2: let's go to the phone. Se A Jay's guy, Jay,
Speaker 2: thanks for holding over the break, my friend. Welcome back
Speaker 2: to the Morning Show.
Speaker 7: Hey, thanks Brian.
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm not a bit surprised that the violence in
Speaker 9: Cincinnati and New York City and all these major metropolitan areas.
Speaker 9: It's the predictable outcome of voting Democrat, which is defund
Speaker 9: police and everything else that comes along with communism. What
Speaker 9: does surprise me is where is the Republican Party ad machine?
Speaker 9: Do they not understand don't let a good crisis go
Speaker 9: to waste? And we've always said that the recent people,
Speaker 9: because it's the people of Cincinnati that are voting for this,
Speaker 9: it's the people of New York City that are voting
Speaker 9: for that communist mayor, just like they voted for our
Speaker 9: communist mayor. Where is the Republican Party with all of
Speaker 9: the funding, all of their resources. Where are the billboards
Speaker 9: and the full on ad campaigns to start out and
Speaker 9: to have you had enough yet you've run a city
Speaker 9: for forty years. Here's your crime rates. We can't help
Speaker 9: you if you don't invite us in. So, if you
Speaker 9: like the way things are, keep voting Democrat. Otherwise give
Speaker 9: Republicans a chance. Where is Alex Tranthefila, the head of
Speaker 9: the Republican Party. I would love to have his input
Speaker 9: of are you guys even trying on these metropolitan areas?
Speaker 9: Are you just turning your back on those folks walking
Speaker 9: away from where the big population centers are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you need candidates to run as Republicans,
Speaker 2: and I know they're a handful of them now coming
Speaker 2: up on the council. There's two Republicans runering for council,
Speaker 2: and of course we have Corey Bowman running for mayor. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I feel as though just the Republican Party gave up.
Speaker 2: It's like they brought the flag outs, like screw it.
Speaker 2: You know, Hamilton County is all blue. There's not a
Speaker 2: damn thing we can do. We don't have any candidates
Speaker 2: to run, We don't have any candidates support. All we
Speaker 2: could do would be running issue campaigns, like you say,
Speaker 2: but with no alternative to the Democrats that are actually
Speaker 2: running and have you know, pulled papers and signed up
Speaker 2: to try to get elected. I mean, it's one thing
Speaker 2: to have a message, which I think they do. It's
Speaker 2: another thing for someone to be the carrier and bearer
Speaker 2: of that message in an election. And therein lies a
Speaker 2: big challenge for at least Hamilton County. I can't speak
Speaker 2: to the entire state. Of course, alex is the head
Speaker 2: of the Republican Party for the state of Ohio now,
Speaker 2: so he's got more than just the you know, Hamilton
Speaker 2: County area to to deal with. But as far as
Speaker 2: Hamilton County leadership goes, I have no clue. Jay. I
Speaker 2: understand where you're coming from, and I agree there should
Speaker 2: be some sort of marketing effort. But if you don't
Speaker 2: have someone to run under that banner, were left without
Speaker 2: a choice. I hate to have to say it over
Speaker 2: to the stack is stupid. New York Post reporting on
Speaker 2: this one, the Brazilian butt lift. You may have heard
Speaker 2: of it. It's made it into the stack is stupid
Speaker 2: quite a few times, usually in connection with someone getting
Speaker 2: a butt lift procedure with silicone bought from a home
Speaker 2: depot and done in a motel six. Don't do that,
Speaker 2: considered dangerous procedure by experts, experts the possibility of death, infection,
Speaker 2: and more. New York Post saying it's not just surgery risk,
Speaker 2: but there is a rather bizarre and gross side effect
Speaker 2: that goes along with it, something you might want to
Speaker 2: consider before getting it done. Doctor Eric Anderson and from
Speaker 2: Chicago based impressions face and body. I guess that's a
Speaker 2: plastic surgery outfit quote. The BBL smell is real unexpected
Speaker 2: side effect, often described as a musty or sour smell qRT.
Speaker 2: An entity called South Shore Plastic Surgery Team of experts
Speaker 2: that the smell is often expected for BBL patients after
Speaker 2: sweating or sitting for long periods, but other factors like
Speaker 2: tissue death described as a BBL complication, and unhygienic habits
Speaker 2: that could cause someone with a BBL to have a
Speaker 2: smelly behind. According to doctor Anderson, he said if a
Speaker 2: patient was overfilled with fat during the procedure, fat neck crosis,
Speaker 2: when the faty tissue in the butt dies, can occur.
Speaker 2: Rancid smell can develop as a consequence of the death
Speaker 2: of the tissue. So when there's more fat in area
Speaker 2: than the bodies, then the blood supply allows the fat
Speaker 2: we'll die through a smelly process called fat necrosis, which
Speaker 2: can lead to infections and for antibiotics, hospitalization, and even sepsis.
Speaker 2: Say it's another obvious cause of the BBL smell. Patients
Speaker 2: struggle cleaning their bottoms because I guess their butt's gotten
Speaker 2: too big. Then because of the surgery that they asked
Speaker 2: for to make their butt big idiots doing idiot things
Speaker 2: because they're idiots, all right. Uh, many potential risks come
Speaker 2: with getting a BBL. One woman revealed that Senner went
Speaker 2: this two times because the first one, in her word,
Speaker 2: died scarlet black. A lot of the fat that's reinjecting
Speaker 2: into your buttocks actually dies, like fifty percent or sometimes more.
Speaker 2: For this BBL, we focused on lifting my butt and
Speaker 2: putting volume in it. Apparently she has spent thirty six
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on plastic surgeries in order to describe in
Speaker 2: order to get what she described as a dream body,
Speaker 2: and even after going through fat and necrosis, she's go
Speaker 2: ahead and doing it again. By forty six fifty five
Speaker 2: KRC detalk station. Well, that's why it's in this stack.
Speaker 2: Stupid QC kinetics for pain, arthritic pain, hip pain, knee pain,
Speaker 2: shoulder pain. You know you don't have to go unto
Speaker 2: the knife. You've probably been through the multiple cycles of
Speaker 2: steroid shots, and now this s words come up surgery. Well,
Speaker 2: how about something. It's helped a lot of people get
Speaker 2: their lives back together without more beds, without going under
Speaker 2: the knife. It's QC Kinetics leaders in regenerative medicine using
Speaker 2: treatments like advanced cellular therapy and platelet rich plasma which
Speaker 2: actually help your body heel itself, is not masking the
Speaker 2: pain that goes to the root of the problems. Cellular
Speaker 2: treatments contain growth factors and healing properties which maximize your
Speaker 2: own body's ability to heal itself, and they've had like
Speaker 2: ninety two percent patient satisfaction rate with this. These are
Speaker 2: numbers I got from them. That seems pretty damn impressive
Speaker 2: considering your options are limited to perhaps surgery, so take
Speaker 2: them up on the free consultations. Licensed medical providers go
Speaker 2: over your X rays and mrin to see if you're
Speaker 2: a good fit for these through treatments. But it starts
Speaker 2: with a free consultation. You may be eligible for this.

Speaker 2: back to the stack is stupid, epic stupidity on this one. Fortunately,
Speaker 2: no one harmed, except for the business man accused of
Speaker 2: utilizing a business card to spend thousands of dollars in
Speaker 2: unauthorized purchases on only fans and fans lely, I think
Speaker 2: those are sordid websites if I recall correctly. Anyway, Streetport
Speaker 2: the police department detectives on the hunt for Matthew Allen
Speaker 2: accused of making unauthorized purchases totally nearly seven thousand dollars
Speaker 2: using a business credit card. On the post on Facebook
Speaker 2: Sjriff's department, you literally can't make this stuff up. Let's
Speaker 2: just say his taste and expenses raised more than a
Speaker 2: few eyebrows.
Speaker 1: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
Speaker 2: I think that you also net a phrasing one on
Speaker 2: the way they put that statement. It raised more than
Speaker 2: a few eyebrows. You get it. They revealed to totally
Speaker 2: nearly forty nine thousand dollars in stolen front from this
Speaker 2: guy being sought by authorities for theft, access to device fraud.
Speaker 2: Apparently he has been picked up. Go figure this one out.
Speaker 2: Two Illinois youth baseball coaches fired after being caught on
Speaker 2: video streaking on a baseball diamond in front of players
Speaker 2: at the Cooperstown Tournament in New York. Why are you
Speaker 2: doing that? I don't think we'll ever find out. Apparently,
Speaker 2: Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association said they're working with law
Speaker 2: enforcement authorities, mostly because the coach is stripped down in
Speaker 2: the presence of children. You can even hear children laughing
Speaker 2: in the video that shows the two nude men's one
Speaker 2: sprawling over home played in a New York baseball field.
Speaker 2: Chose the men on the diamond bearing it all in
Speaker 2: the presence of children. Boys usually playing the Lake Bluff
Speaker 2: Field in Chicago's northern suburbs, or members of the Lake
Speaker 2: Bluff Youth Baseball Association, which had been around more than
Speaker 2: seventy years. Last weekend at the Cooperstown All Star Village
Speaker 2: in Onionata, New York, close enough coaches for reasons unknown.
Speaker 2: There's the answer to your question, Joe, we don't know
Speaker 2: Cotton a video decided run around naked on the field,
Speaker 2: forcing the team to be disqualified in the local Sheriff's
Speaker 2: apartment in New York to be called Injriff's office said
Speaker 2: Deputies Corps responded to the Cooperstown All Star Village after
Speaker 2: security asked the two men to leave, but they refused. However,
Speaker 2: by the time the deputy showed up, the men had left,
Speaker 2: as well as all potential witnesses. Everyone cleared out of
Speaker 2: the park. Deputies tried to interview anyone involved after obtaining
Speaker 2: the video, but then the team had returned home to
Speaker 2: Illinois Baseball Association. Boarding the statement, it's deeply distressed to
Speaker 2: learn about the recent situation involving Lake Bluff or treating
Speaker 2: this matter of the utmost seriousness and have contacted relevant
Speaker 2: authorities who will continue to support those authorities and their
Speaker 2: investigation of the matter. We have also taken immediate decisive
Speaker 2: action by terminating the assistant coaches involved. However, the Sheriff's
Speaker 2: office said they will not face criminal charges. Accord to
Speaker 2: the Sheriff's office statement, the case was reviewed by the
Speaker 2: Ostego County DA, which advised that prosecution was declined due
Speaker 2: to the level of criminality involved in the fact that
Speaker 2: all the parties reside out of state. It's not to
Speaker 2: prosecute a case when all your witnesses are, you know,
Speaker 2: about one thousand miles away. I suppose five fifty five. Larry,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry out of time, but I will happy to
Speaker 2: take your call off to the top of the arts.
Speaker 2: You don't mind holding for a few minutes. I'd love
Speaker 2: to hear it from me. Don't go away. I planned
Speaker 2: to talk about in the six o'clock hour and maybe
Speaker 2: starting off with Larry, we'll see.
Speaker 11: A full rundown and the biggest headlines there's minutes away
Speaker 11: at the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a fact now the Americans should know.
Speaker 11: Fifty five KRS the talk station is your retire Two
Speaker 11: decades after nine to eleven, have we learned nothing? The
Speaker 11: Glenn Vec program week days at nine on fifty five
Speaker 11: KRCD talk station.
Speaker 2: Suntil five the fifty five kr CD talk station Bright time.
Speaker 2: It's right here, wishing everyone a very happy Monday. Try
Speaker 2: to make it so anyway, always a good day to
Speaker 2: listen to fifty five krc Morning Show because we get
Speaker 2: Christopher Smithman at seven to twenty, former Vice Mayor with
Speaker 2: the Smither Vent, preceded this morning by Ken Coulber FOP
Speaker 2: President Ken Cover since I Police Department Union talking about
Speaker 2: violence and a lot of violence, including the first thing
Speaker 2: this morning, we got yet another shooting in downtown Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Uh So smith min at seven twenty. Then Christina Hall
Speaker 2: from the Cincinniva joins the program at seven forty to
Speaker 2: talk about some veterans related issues. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2: Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred and
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two three talk Larry, Thanks for
Speaker 2: holding over the break there. Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, thank you. I was wondering about I know
Speaker 12: a lady i'll call her Sally, watches these sites that
Speaker 12: have I don't know if you call the conspiracy theories,
Speaker 12: but I haven't heard you mentioned anything about the cloud seating.
Speaker 12: My cospect that they're all singing that it's causing all
Speaker 12: those floods.
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?
Speaker 2: You know, I was originally a total skeptic on this.
Speaker 2: Now I don't necessarily I have not drawn any conclusions
Speaker 2: whether the flooding that happened in Texas has any relationship
Speaker 2: whatsoever to the chemtrail phenomenon, you know, the cloud seeding
Speaker 2: otherwise interfering with the weather patterns. But I did have
Speaker 2: in front of me and wanted to bring it up.
Speaker 2: Representative Marjorie Taylor Green is introduced to build on a
Speaker 2: federal level aimed at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the
Speaker 2: release and injection to chemicals into the atmosphere which are
Speaker 2: intended to alter weather or temperature or sunlight or whatever.
Speaker 2: So I found interesting because and this is the timing thing, Larry,
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring that up because last weekend we
Speaker 2: were out enjoying a we rented a house. We were
Speaker 2: charity were the high bidders at a charity auction for
Speaker 2: the cure starts now, and so we were on the
Speaker 2: lake in southern Indiana and my kids looked up and
Speaker 2: they say, look, it's chem trails. And I'm like, oh God,
Speaker 2: here we go. Now it's just exhaust from the airplane.
Speaker 2: But no. Flying at a very high altitude, you could
Speaker 2: see the plane and it was it was ejecting what
Speaker 2: I believe was kem trail because it started and stopped.
Speaker 2: It was a very deliberate pattern. You could watch these
Speaker 2: huge billowing clouds come out from otherwise what would be
Speaker 2: the contrail, a multiply larger fog like coming out of
Speaker 2: the plane. And then it would stop and the plane
Speaker 2: would travel on for a certain amount of distance and
Speaker 2: then it would come back on again. So you have
Speaker 2: this this series of lines in the sky. And then
Speaker 2: they did another loop and came back and kept criss crossing,
Speaker 2: So that to me raised a lot of red flags
Speaker 2: first time at coming up on sixty years of age
Speaker 2: in September that I had ever witnessed that phenomenon. So
Speaker 2: does it have any connection with the outrageous flooding. I
Speaker 2: don't know, but obviously it's reached the level of Representative
Speaker 2: Green's attention, and Florida had already banned that type of
Speaker 2: activity from happening a dysantis issue. Had a statement on
Speaker 2: that which I can read. It's quite frightening. So yeah,
Speaker 2: apparently elected officials, people in high positions, people who presumably
Speaker 2: have the data, the information and knowledge, you know, what's
Speaker 2: really going on, are taking note of it and now
Speaker 2: moving forward to stop it from happening. So I'll let
Speaker 2: you conclude whether or not it happened and caused this
Speaker 2: severe flooding in Texas. It's not the first time we've
Speaker 2: had that kind of flooding, but I guess it remains
Speaker 2: a possibility given the level of attention some rather prominent
Speaker 2: elected officials are bringing them to the concept. Let's see
Speaker 2: what Keith Scott, Keith, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome
Speaker 2: of the Morning Show.
Speaker 13: Hi Brian, how you doing okay.
Speaker 2: For a Monday.
Speaker 14: I wanted to talk about something of a very serious
Speaker 14: matter that happened in the Middle East last night, and
Speaker 14: it's getting no coverage in our country because of all
Speaker 14: the coverage about the flooding in Texas and also the
Speaker 14: big beautiful Bill. But I'm not sort of kind of
Speaker 14: not knocking our news media for that, but this is
Speaker 14: a very serious matter, and how I found out about
Speaker 14: it was on the BBC Radio News and also on
Speaker 14: the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio News. Last night about six
Speaker 14: point thirty a Greek ship Okay was attacked in the
Speaker 14: Red Sea. And it's a scary attack because it was
Speaker 14: attacked by boats drone boats packed up with explosives, and
Speaker 14: then after that it was attacked by boats of puties.
Speaker 14: Also maybe they're friends of Somali pirates attacking the ship
Speaker 14: with RPGs and the ship was also attacked by two
Speaker 14: rockets fired from Yemen.
Speaker 2: Oh jeez. I did see that there was a ship attack,
Speaker 2: but I didn't read a whole lot about it. I
Speaker 2: know it's out there being reported. I guess I'm kind
Speaker 2: of curious since this kind of attack on ships has
Speaker 2: been going on now for quite some time, and it's
Speaker 2: certainly hopefully going to be addressed in these various peace
Speaker 2: talks that are going on. But the fact remains that
Speaker 2: there are crazy militant groups out there and fundamentalist groups
Speaker 2: out there that still have weapons. And how are you
Speaker 2: going to stop that from happening? And why do you
Speaker 2: perceive this to be some sort of graver or concerning
Speaker 2: development when again, it's not the first time this has happened.
Speaker 14: Well, ships have been attacked in the past, but nothing
Speaker 14: like this. This is a new thing, these drone ships
Speaker 14: packed with explosives. Yeah, and this is a threat to
Speaker 14: the entire Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuves and the
Speaker 14: Red Sea. I mean, this is serious. And since it
Speaker 14: was a Greek ship that was attacked, or remember of
Speaker 14: NATO this week, they could I'm not saying they will,
Speaker 14: but if they got the cohones to do it, they
Speaker 14: would ask for an emergency NATO meeting, and since they
Speaker 14: were attacked in international waters, asked for Article five, All
Speaker 14: for one, One for all and another thing too. Information
Speaker 14: I've found out in the area surrounding Greece, their friends
Speaker 14: like Italy and the other countries surrounding Italy and Greece
Speaker 14: are very very mad about this that happened last night.
Speaker 14: None of this is getting reported in our news meeting
Speaker 14: in our country, and this is a danger to the
Speaker 14: entire Red Sea, like I said, the Strait of hor
Speaker 14: moves and the Persian Gulf. This new situation of these
Speaker 14: drone sick ships packed with explosives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I my understanding, and I think we can
Speaker 2: all conclude those are probably pretty easy to come by
Speaker 2: or easy to build yourself. I mean, remote control boats
Speaker 2: have been around since I was a little kid, and
Speaker 2: they've only gotten obviously much more technologically advanced. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm just an Associated Press story about exactly what you're
Speaker 2: talking about. Greek owned bulk carrier Magic Seas fell on
Speaker 2: the Houthis that's suspicion anyway, on the Houthies, although they
Speaker 2: haven't claimed responsibility for it. Bomb carrying drone boats hit
Speaker 2: the shift after it was targeted by small arms and
Speaker 2: rocket propelled grenades, so it was a multi prong attack
Speaker 2: as you suggest. But yeah, this, I mean, how does
Speaker 2: one deal with the threat again in a world where
Speaker 2: it's almost like a world where more and more people
Speaker 2: have nuclear weapons, more and more people. Countries, even very
Speaker 2: poor countries and crazy houthy rebel groups can acquire these
Speaker 2: types of weapons, and they're not under particular hierarchical structure.
Speaker 2: I don't know that Iran's Ayatola is making these or
Speaker 2: telling these folks to commit these types of acts. There
Speaker 2: are lots of rogue actors out there. So you could
Speaker 2: negotiate peace, and you can get every Arab country in
Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords and agree that we're all going to
Speaker 2: sort of be peacefully coexisting together. And yet there's always
Speaker 2: a handful of nut jobs out in the world who
Speaker 2: are willing to go ahead and do something thiss like
Speaker 2: this because they don't believe in what their elected officials
Speaker 2: are doing. So it's reported here sharly before midnight in
Speaker 2: yame In, Israel's military issue to warning of for three
Speaker 2: hoofy held ports and said air strikes would begin shortly.
Speaker 2: So we may see some Israeli air strikes coming. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know how you eradicate that as a threat.
Speaker 2: Our world is far more dangerous than it ever has been,
Speaker 2: at least from my perspective. New Hampshire, Gary, Let's see
Speaker 2: what Gary's god this morning thanks for calling the program. Gary.
Speaker 2: Good to hear from you.
Speaker 15: Good to hear from you. I hope you have a
Speaker 15: fantastic Fourth of July. By the way, on those boats, yeah, no.
Speaker 2: I's gonna say I slept in so it was fantastic.
Speaker 15: Well that's great, Ryan, that's good.
Speaker 3: I'm glad.
Speaker 7: You do a hell of a job.
Speaker 5: You really do.
Speaker 15: Hey, on the boat thing, if you you know, I
Speaker 15: pay attention to military things, the boat things that the
Speaker 15: Ukraine is actually they print those boats out.
Speaker 8: They're printing the suicide boats.
Speaker 15: Out for the printer, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll let you know how cheap.
Speaker 15: And fast things can go. But Hey, on your chim trails,
Speaker 15: I am a certified aircraft mechanic. I did it for
Speaker 15: the military for almost thirty years. I am here to
Speaker 15: tell you the chim trails that turn off and all,
Speaker 15: it's not so much a conspiracy. It depends on the
Speaker 15: humidity and the air and the water moisture content that
Speaker 15: the engines are taking in which make it appear like
Speaker 15: they turn off and on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I spur to it.
Speaker 8: Well, it was the government.
Speaker 15: Actually doing things like you know, spraying atmosphere, trying to
Speaker 15: change the weather.
Speaker 3: Probably you know, I know it's not chem trails.
Speaker 2: Well you know, but so many other people claim to
Speaker 2: know contrary. And again this is the first time I
Speaker 2: witness it. It seemed deliberately being turned on and off.
Speaker 2: The pattern was very irregular. It wasn't like it was
Speaker 2: a sporadic thing. And since the plane was not changing altitude,
Speaker 2: the atmospheric conditions at least from what I understand, couldn't
Speaker 2: have changed in such a small space that I'm staring at.
Speaker 2: But it was a deliberate, deliberate on and off, and
Speaker 2: very clear difference between the cam trail that obviously was
Speaker 2: following the plane and this huge outburst of whatever was
Speaker 2: being released, at least again from my standpoint on the
Speaker 2: ground watching it happen, and the fact that it was
Speaker 2: criss crossing. This plane was not going any particular place.
Speaker 2: It was going back and forth in a very deliberate pattern.
Speaker 2: It finished one pass, it turned around and came back
Speaker 2: and did another pass or two or three. So that
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense for me. So lots of questions,
Speaker 2: And then again you got this. Let yeah, I know,
Speaker 2: I don't know what to see. Couple that, couple that
Speaker 2: Gary with with the Florida's recent action banning this from happening,
Speaker 2: and Marjorie Taylor Green's now introducing a bill on a
Speaker 2: federal level to stop it from happening. Seems to me
Speaker 2: either it must be happening out there, whether or not
Speaker 2: I witnessed it, or it's something that could be explained
Speaker 2: away by your your comments. Maybe some of it could
Speaker 2: be explained away by that, but why all the attention
Speaker 2: being brought to it now? Anyway? Appreciate calling me amster
Speaker 2: Gary six sixteen coping with six seventeen fifty five KRC
Speaker 2: detalk station. How about a place to unwind, relax, contemplate,
Speaker 2: engage in prayer, reflect on the value and meaning of life.

Speaker 2: Okay, yes, sir, A loud and clear.
Speaker 5: Good. Just starting to sound like a real conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 2: I just thought it was unusual timing that I see
Speaker 2: that that happen with my own eyes for the very
Speaker 2: first time, because I never ever believed in the whole
Speaker 2: concept the kem trails versus contrails. I always thought, like
Speaker 2: the last caller, all it is is the exhaust the
Speaker 2: airplane at different humidity levels creates something that's either going
Speaker 2: to last or it's going to be neatly disappear. You're
Speaker 2: not going to notice it. But then there was this
Speaker 2: jet up there with a distinct pattern going back and forth.
Speaker 2: And my kids are all of the belief that chemtrails
Speaker 2: are a thing. And then I come home and I
Speaker 2: read over the weekend about this legislation on a federal
Speaker 2: level for Marjorie Taylor Green on the heels of again,
Speaker 2: Florida already passing center Bill fifty six, which prohibits geoengineering
Speaker 2: a weather modification from airplanes. So if guv Or Desanta's
Speaker 2: believes it, and the Florida legislature believes it, and at
Speaker 2: least some members of Congress believe it, maybe there is
Speaker 2: something to it. I'm still jury out on it though, John,
Speaker 2: I haven't concluded one way or another.
Speaker 17: Oh, well, you might want to find out, like what
Speaker 17: it is that they're dropping on you.
Speaker 2: It would be nice.
Speaker 5: Starters, That's just one thing.
Speaker 2: It would be nice to know this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you might might want to look into that.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean, I've.
Speaker 18: Known this for years, but just got laughed at, just
Speaker 18: like I got laughed at and black balled over the
Speaker 18: whole uh COVID nineteen, you know the shots, the mRNA shots,
Speaker 18: got happing blackballed about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it goes on and on.
Speaker 17: I got laughed and blackballed when I was down there
Speaker 17: when I knew Cincinnati was going to become a sanctuary city,
Speaker 17: when I was down there fighting against that and pleading
Speaker 17: my case in front of mister Cranley.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's one pretty much. That's but that leads me.
Speaker 5: I just got one simple.
Speaker 17: Question, Like before Chris gets on and does his rant,
Speaker 17: I wish somebody would ask him why he voted for
Speaker 17: Cincinnati to become sanctuary city. Since you know, he's such
Speaker 17: a so called maverick's been wondering if somebody's ever going
Speaker 17: to ask him that question.
Speaker 5: Did he actually vote?
Speaker 2: I didn't recall.
Speaker 5: That well looking up public records.
Speaker 2: I don't deny that it's public record, John, I just
Speaker 2: personally no personal recollection. It's like I have no personal
Speaker 2: decision making with regard to whether kem Trail's are a
Speaker 2: real problem or not. I'm just learning more information much
Speaker 2: in the same way we've all learned more like since COVID,
Speaker 2: wheneverybody was getting ousted and ostracized and docks and blacklisted
Speaker 2: because they spoke truth to power. As it turns out
Speaker 2: what they were saying was actually the truth versus what
Speaker 2: we were being fed by way of information. We had
Speaker 2: to wait to find that out though, you know, the
Speaker 2: information trickles out very slowly. And look here I'll pivot
Speaker 2: over to this one. See as we learn more and
Speaker 2: more about JFK's assassination of what the CIA knows that
Speaker 2: only took decades, fbis now determined that Jeffrey Epstein had
Speaker 2: no client list, so don't wait for that anymore. Also,
Speaker 2: he apparently didn't blackmail anyone, and he definitely killed himself
Speaker 2: new reporting that has come out on that. Do you
Speaker 2: believe that, in the face of all the conspiracy theories
Speaker 2: and all the promises that we would get the client
Speaker 2: list and all the information, Mam, maybe not. Bill. You're
Speaker 2: gonna have to hang on if you don't mind for
Speaker 2: a moment. I love to take your call, but amount
Speaker 2: of time. It is six twenty five right now, and
Speaker 2: I want to mention and refer everybody to affordable imaging services,
Speaker 2: low overhead, but the same type of equipment hospitals use
Speaker 2: for images, echo cardiograms, MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds. They are affordable.
Speaker 2: Literally by comparison, I guess you might think that, well, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know, eight hundred with an enhancement, echo cardiogram
Speaker 2: sounds unaffordable. Compare that to thirty five hundred dollars or
Speaker 2: more which you would pay at the imaging department at
Speaker 2: a high hospital. Clearly far more affordable. MRIs thirty five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars at a hospital four ninety five without an enhancement,
Speaker 2: CT scans five grand at a hospital four point fifty
Speaker 2: without a contrast, only six hundred with a contrast. Every
Speaker 2: image of done by affordable imaging comes with the board
Speaker 2: certified radiologists report in the report in the price. I've
Speaker 2: used these before, I've had images there before. Not to
Speaker 2: peep out of my doctors about the concern with the
Speaker 2: report or the images. Everything is fine. It's the same
Speaker 2: kind of equipment. Hospitals use. People operating this equipment for decades.
Speaker 2: They know what they're doing. So exercise your choice. You
Speaker 2: have a choice five one three seven five three eight thousand,
Speaker 2: five to one three, seven, five, three eight thousand. Visit
Speaker 2: them online at Affordable Medimaging dot com.
Speaker 16: Fifty five KRC six point thirty.
Speaker 2: Here fifty five KERCD talk station. I do have a
Speaker 2: bill on the line posmon moment, Bill, and promised to
Speaker 2: kick your call right out of the gab. But I
Speaker 2: need to correct the record. Our last caller was wrong.
Speaker 2: It only took jail about thirty seconds. Yes, there is
Speaker 2: a public record. And CHRISTOPHS. Smithment wasn't even there for
Speaker 2: the vote. He did not vote for sanctuary cities. He
Speaker 2: was home taking care of his cancer stricken wife voting
Speaker 2: against it. Amy Murray and Liz Keating, oh Winburn, Charlie Winburn.
Speaker 2: So there you have it. Record corrected. Christopher Smithman was
Speaker 2: not there.
Speaker 1: Over the photos.
Speaker 2: Let's you a Bill's guide. Hey, Bill, thanks for holding
Speaker 2: over the break. Welcome to the morning show.
Speaker 13: Morning Brian, Hey on their rain and everything you were
Speaker 13: talking about about five years ago, four years ago, twenty
Speaker 13: twenty twenty one, can't remember which date. A volcano exploded
Speaker 13: in the ocean over and pop in New Guinea, and
Speaker 13: it shot up so much water in the stratosphere that
Speaker 13: they said last year that only three percent has fallen
Speaker 13: to the earth.
Speaker 2: I have heard. I've heard that before. A lot of
Speaker 2: the quote unquote climate shames that they claim as a
Speaker 2: consequence of you and I breathing was really the consequence
Speaker 2: of that particular type of phenomenon happening with all that
Speaker 2: water vapor in the air.
Speaker 13: Well, you can actually go on YouTube and watch that
Speaker 13: Hong to Tonga because they show it from outer space.
Speaker 8: When it blows up, it's just phenomenal to watch.
Speaker 13: And uh, but as far as the chem trails go,
Speaker 13: you know, that could be an airplane that's trying to
Speaker 13: land and like Indianapolis has a delay for a little while,
Speaker 13: and or or you know Saint Louis. That's how if
Speaker 13: they were up that far, that's what could could have been.
Speaker 13: Could as far as they could have been to where
Speaker 13: they were delayed. But yeah, I look up that, look
Speaker 13: up that Honga Tonga.
Speaker 2: I've seen that one. Yeah, I've seen that before, Bill,
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of you know, sound science behind
Speaker 2: that concept when you put that much water vapor up
Speaker 2: into the higher atmospheric levels.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, you know, I always wondered how much fell
Speaker 13: this year. They said last year three percent only fell,
Speaker 13: so seems like they got their act together on some
Speaker 13: sign stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at minimum, Bill, it illustrates it's a very
Speaker 2: complex thing. It's not one size fits all. You and
Speaker 2: I are not personally responsible for every change in the weather.
Speaker 2: No geologic history. It's been changing, and it ever changes constantly,
Speaker 2: ebbing and flowing. I mean, this is why I'm not
Speaker 2: a believer in you and I being responsible.
Speaker 13: Brian. If you knew how many volcanoes you usually puff up, yeah,
Speaker 13: a day, it's like fifteen of them. I mean, there's like,
Speaker 13: you know, volcano eruptions a day. Now they're just spewing
Speaker 13: a little bit of ash or or shooting off. But
Speaker 13: I mean, it's it's a violent world out there we live.
Speaker 2: It is, and and every action, like every natural thing
Speaker 2: like that or even a forest fire and negates every
Speaker 2: single third that every human being in the globe is
Speaker 2: engaged in to reduce their carbon dioxide output. One volcano,
Speaker 2: one giant forest fire, eradicates literally everything we're chasing our
Speaker 2: tail on this.
Speaker 8: Can I bring up something real quick?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 13: Last year they had a big hailstorm down in Texas,
Speaker 13: and so many of them mirrors or whatever they're called
Speaker 13: solar panels got destroyed, and all them people down there
Speaker 13: were yet belly aching about the chemical on the ground.
Speaker 13: I would love to see somebody doing something about that,
Speaker 13: as far as the EPA, because they never went down
Speaker 13: there to try to clean that up. I forget what
Speaker 13: little county it was in, but you know, there's like
Speaker 13: seventeen football fields of that stuff down there.
Speaker 2: Now, they pick and choose what they want to focus on.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about the oil companies. If one bird
Speaker 2: dies as a consequence of interaction with any oil spill
Speaker 2: on any duction facility, the EPA goes after them and
Speaker 2: finds a living crap out of them. Go walk beneath
Speaker 2: all the windmills out in Indiana and see if you
Speaker 2: don't find a bunch of dead bird carcasses laying around there.
Speaker 2: Will the EPA do something about that? Will the any
Speaker 2: other of the government agencies designed to protect wildlife to
Speaker 2: do anything about that? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting
Speaker 2: for that bill. It's a question of whose ox is
Speaker 2: being gored, And if you're gonna go with the oil
Speaker 2: company's ox, that's aoka. But we can't let anything like
Speaker 2: pollution or dead birds and bats interfere with our pursuit
Speaker 2: of zero carbon emissions. Goes back to the earlier point,
Speaker 2: chasing your trail, trying to beat that uphill battle. Six

Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station, the Free.
Speaker 2: Six forty fifty five kr S talk station. Yeah, Bigfoot's
Speaker 2: coming on in Lil Brian James for Monay Monday at
Speaker 2: eight oh five. Strange turn of events here in the
Speaker 2: morning show, Joe thinks it's now an extension of the
Speaker 2: Overnight program, which I regularly make fun of. No, Bigfoot
Speaker 2: does not exist, and there are no lizard people. But
Speaker 2: are there chemtrails? And again I experienced this over last weekend.
Speaker 2: I have no explanation for it. It's the first time
Speaker 2: I've ever seen it. A very It was a jet,
Speaker 2: very high altitude and a very distinct pattern of on
Speaker 2: off with this billowing cloud coming out of the back
Speaker 2: of the air airplane that it would shut off and
Speaker 2: the plane would travel a certain distance and it would
Speaker 2: come on again, and the plane went back and forth
Speaker 2: and back and forth. Now I can't explain that. I'm
Speaker 2: not saying that they were doing something nefarious or purining
Speaker 2: down aluminum or whatever people believe are in the chemtrails.
Speaker 2: But it was clearly a distinct on off concept that
Speaker 2: was going on, and the fact that it was doing
Speaker 2: lapse back and forth seemed inconsistent with anything a normal
Speaker 2: like airline, a passenger airliner would be doing. And then
Speaker 2: I start doing research for the program over the weekend.
Speaker 2: This weekend, and I see the Representative Margie Taylor Greens
Speaker 2: now introduced a federal piece of federal legislation happened over
Speaker 2: the weekend at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the injection
Speaker 2: to release the chemicals into the atmosphere intended to alter weather, temperature,
Speaker 2: or sunlight, making the act a felony offense targeting both
Speaker 2: private and government efforts to manipulate the climate through artificial means. Now,
Speaker 2: if you don't believe it, and I understand that because
Speaker 2: I was a total non believer until last weekend and
Speaker 2: now I'm just sort of sitting on the fence wondering, HM,
Speaker 2: that was an odd phenomenon I witnessed. But now we
Speaker 2: have people in high elected capacity that are saying it
Speaker 2: does in fact exist, so much so that we need
Speaker 2: legislation to ban it. Now, I have to believe on
Speaker 2: some level that they have scientific research or other research
Speaker 2: that at least convinced them. That is a concern that
Speaker 2: we need to worry about, insomuch insofar as we need
Speaker 2: a criminal law to stop it, said, I'm introducing a
Speaker 2: bilit of prohibacy injection, released or dispersion of chemicals or
Speaker 2: substances into the atmosphere the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate,
Speaker 2: or sunlight intensity will be a felony offense, according to
Speaker 2: her post on X now that her bill is not
Speaker 2: the first out of the gate to do this. It's
Speaker 2: modeled after a bill that just passed in Florida, sent
Speaker 2: it Bill fifty six, which prohibits all forms of geo
Speaker 2: engineering and weather modification aimed at altering Florida's atmosphere. Bands
Speaker 2: activities inject release, disperse chemicals, compounds, substances, or equipment into
Speaker 2: the atmosphere with the intent to alter temperature, weather, climate,
Speaker 2: or sunlight intents and e violations considered now a third
Speaker 2: degree felony punishable up to five years in prison and
Speaker 2: finds up to one hundred thousand dollars. Governor DeSantis again
Speaker 2: someone who I always considered of sound mind. He seems
Speaker 2: to be reasonable. He doesn't seem like a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's uttering things like lizard people are
Speaker 2: controlling the government or nonsense like that. The year of
Speaker 2: the Overnight program, he said, after also pointing out that
Speaker 2: they banned flora in public drinking water, and he said,
Speaker 2: in addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that
Speaker 2: Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already
Speaker 2: do not permit this activity. I will be signing SB
Speaker 2: fifty six to prohibit the practice in our skies. Free
Speaker 2: State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors
Speaker 2: unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces. Now,
Speaker 2: Florida used to allow permits for geoengineering weather modification. This
Speaker 2: bill repeals all of that. Bill also includes key enforcement provisions.
Speaker 2: Beginning October of this year, all publicly owned airports must
Speaker 2: report the presence of any aircraft equipped with whether modification
Speaker 2: or geoengineering equipment to the Florida Department of Transportation and
Speaker 2: the Department of Environmental Protection will launch a public reporting
Speaker 2: portal to identify suspect violations, which will launch over the summer.
Speaker 2: Now again, I'm still out. I don't know what's being released.
Speaker 2: I've seen all kinds of crazy allegations about what's being released,
Speaker 2: but apparently something is being released. Otherwise they wouldn't be
Speaker 2: proposing legislation, I'd like to think anyway, And again, this
Speaker 2: isn't coming from some looney tune wing of any particular
Speaker 2: political party. I mean, go ahead and ignore Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 2: Green's effort to do this on a federal level. But
Speaker 2: going back to Governor de Santis, don't you think he
Speaker 2: has learned people, scientists and research and public policy and
Speaker 2: papers that would prevent him from stepping in a legitimate
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory by supporting the legislation and signing it into law. Hey,
Speaker 2: Governed de Santis, Ron, don't do that. It's a bunch
Speaker 2: of crap. This doesn't exist, it's not happening. There's nobody
Speaker 2: trying to geo engineer anything. Look, here's all the research
Speaker 2: and data supporting this position, and you need to stay
Speaker 2: ten thousand feet away from it. Are they going to
Speaker 2: label you a lizard person believing looney tune? I would
Speaker 2: like to think Ron Santa says advisors along those lines,
Speaker 2: So something to consider. I don't know how we ended
Speaker 2: up on this tangent other than the fact that all
Speaker 2: of these sort of stars aligned in my world relative
Speaker 2: to how I used to think. And now I'm at
Speaker 2: least open to the concept that is actually happened six
Speaker 2: forty six fifty five K see the talk station. I'm
Speaker 2: not much of a conspiracy theorist. Takes me a lot
Speaker 2: of information and time to reach an informed decision, but
Speaker 2: it is kind of comical to reflect back on what
Speaker 2: I initially labored crazy conspiracy theorists, and then if you
Speaker 2: fast forward a few years, then you find out, oh,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, they were right all along, Maureen, you
Speaker 2: know I'm talking about you. Colin Electric, great people for
Speaker 2: great electric work at Colin They do fantastic work. They've
Speaker 2: done multiple projects in my home, and you'll be satisfied

Speaker 2: Chick, So if you want, if you have CARCD talk stations,
Speaker 2: see I mentioned Marine on this whole conspiracy theory thing,
Speaker 2: and she's listening. She sent me two more articles on amtrails.
Speaker 2: She said, I've invading with my brother in law for
Speaker 2: years about this, so I have a large cache of
Speaker 2: articles on this subject. I will spellue the barrage and
Speaker 2: just share two tidbit tidbits. Thank you, Marine. I appreciate
Speaker 2: the fact that you're listening out there, and I appreciate
Speaker 2: all the links that you give me to conspiracy theories,
Speaker 2: which I discount immediately, only to find out later that well,
Speaker 2: they do have some merit talking about discipline and violence
Speaker 2: and the problems we're having the city of Since an
Speaker 2: Ken Cobra FLP president at the top of the air
Speaker 2: news Christopher Smith Aman, something tells me, although I do
Speaker 2: not know that he's going to have a comment or
Speaker 2: two about violence. And it was a terrible, terrible several
Speaker 2: days in a row, but it makes me pivot over
Speaker 2: to maybe there's solutions here and actually enforcing the Criminal
Speaker 2: Code of Justice and seeing that these lawbreakers actually are
Speaker 2: held accountable and responsible. It's a pillar of law enforcement
Speaker 2: punishment as a deterrence for the rest of us. And
Speaker 2: it's coming to schools. Saw this editorial board the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal. School discipline makes a comeback. Whatever happened to
Speaker 2: school discipline? I always wonder why people didn't get suspended anymore.
Speaker 2: They were at discipline policy. In k through twelve, public
Speaker 2: schools rode the progressive tide on race and crime. In
Speaker 2: recent years, the Feds and states push therapy over suspensions
Speaker 2: and expulsions, but classroom misbehavior has surged since the COVID lockdowns,
Speaker 2: and some states are responding with changes that will benefit
Speaker 2: teachers and students. Texas legislature may pass the bill that
Speaker 2: makes it easier for teachers to remove misbehaving students from
Speaker 2: classrooms and extends the allowable time for in school suspension.
Speaker 2: Some three three hundred district Texas District employees were targets
Speaker 2: of student assault in one single countary year twenty three
Speaker 2: to twenty four. That's according to the reporting by the
Speaker 2: Texas Tribune. Removing students for any unruly, disruptive, or abusive behavior,
Speaker 2: as the legislation allows, could help prevent such escalation. Arkansas,
Speaker 2: back in April, pass the law ensures students removed for
Speaker 2: violent behavior aren't returned to the same classroom. Also stripping
Speaker 2: from state law requirement that districts use positive behavioral support,
Speaker 2: which focuses on conflict resolution and coping skills to address
Speaker 2: student misbehavior, Washington State Superintendent finalized rules effected this month
Speaker 2: loosening restrictions on removing, suspending, or expelling students. Other states
Speaker 2: taken similar action in release in years, including Louisiana and Nevada,
Speaker 2: where the state teachers' unions supported legislation making it easier
Speaker 2: to remove students. All this marks a shift away from
Speaker 2: the progressive push for therapeutic or restorative practices before or
Speaker 2: instead of classroom removals. The Obama administration encouraged districts to
Speaker 2: emphasize positive interventions over student removal, and a twenty fourteen
Speaker 2: guidance letter warning of racial disparities and disparities and traditional discipline.
Speaker 2: A twenty twenty three Biden Education Department document advocated listening
Speaker 2: and healing and warned that suspensions and expulsions, in their words,
Speaker 2: often disproportionately affects students of color. The soft disciplined policies
Speaker 2: have victims of their own. Cord to the Texas Built,
Speaker 2: teachers are getting hit, kicked on, spit on, and cussed out.
Speaker 2: The fact that we cannot suspend these students and have
Speaker 2: to wait, in some cases weeks until we can bring
Speaker 2: parents and team members together to create a solution is
Speaker 2: leaving both teachers and ministration with a feeling of helplessness,
Speaker 2: said one district superintendent. Peers of disruptive students also robbed
Speaker 2: of learning time. According to a former teacher writing for
Speaker 2: the Fordam Institute last year, Daniel Buck peers, given the
Speaker 2: high poverty schools struggle the most with disciplinary challenges, keeping
Speaker 2: disruptive students in classroom only widens the achievement gap. This
Speaker 2: is hardly racial justice. Many Democratic states are still pushing
Speaker 2: therapeutic practices, but at least districts don't face the same
Speaker 2: pressure from the feds. President Trump issued in April executive
Speaker 2: order to crime equity ideology in school discipline, calling on
Speaker 2: the Education Secretary of Line mc mann to produce a
Speaker 2: report on the model school discipline policies. The order rejects
Speaker 2: the Obama era practice which the Biden administration never disavowed,
Speaker 2: of investigating districts for civil rights offenses based upon statistical
Speaker 2: racial disparities and discipline data. This should ensure schools are
Speaker 2: free to enact discipline based on behavior, not race. School
Speaker 2: discipline is mainly a local matter, as schools can best
Speaker 2: judge the struggles of individual students while protecting teachers and classmates.
Speaker 2: The Trump administration will do the most good if it
Speaker 2: lets states and districts figure it out, as many of
Speaker 2: them are already doing. Yeah to see, maybe if you
Speaker 2: discipline the children a little bit more harshly threaten them
Speaker 2: with expulsion or suspension, maybe they'll stop doing it. At
Speaker 2: least it'll be in the arsenal of ways to deal
Speaker 2: with an obviously ever growing problem. Six fifty six fifty

Speaker 2: me it may be the violence going on in downtown Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Joining the program this morning, Welcome back Fokey, President the
Speaker 2: Federal Order Police Chapter sixty nine for the Sinsinant Police Department.
Speaker 2: Ken cober Or President, Welcome back, Ken. It's always great
Speaker 2: having you on the program.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Do you start out this morning? One thirty This morning,
Speaker 2: Hutchins Avenue reading road to abdel We have someone killed
Speaker 2: in a shooting. Going back, just looking at the headlines.
Speaker 2: Two teens injured in a West End shooting happened on
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, three people hospitalized after a shooting near the
Speaker 2: banks happened on Saturday morning. Police investigating incident believed to
Speaker 2: involve shots fired at officers in Westwood happened Saturday night.
Speaker 2: Got a Winton Hill shooting police investigating that happened Saturday
Speaker 2: night as well. I mean, the list is almost endless,
Speaker 2: and it seems to be getting worse. Ken, covert your reaction,
Speaker 2: and plus the list that Joe Strecker compoted he got
Speaker 2: from the Since Police Department, showing all of the assaults, thefts,
Speaker 2: and other arrests that happened, mostly like in the central
Speaker 2: business district of downtown over the past several days leading
Speaker 2: up to the fourth of July holiday weekend. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is crazy, Ken.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, let's not forget too.
Speaker 19: On fourth of July we had a two police officers
Speaker 19: that were shot at that after watching the video, one
Speaker 19: of them especially is absolutely lucky to be alive. I mean,
Speaker 19: by the grace of God, he didn't get hit by somebody.
Speaker 19: It was almost almost point blank range.
Speaker 17: Yes.
Speaker 20: Wow.
Speaker 2: And where did that happen?
Speaker 19: That was on Western Northern Boulevard and an apartment complex
Speaker 19: investigating a trespassing complaint.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, violent, violent weekend.
Speaker 19: I talked to two ulcers yesterday, both of them been
Speaker 19: on more than twenty years. They said this weekend has
Speaker 19: been the worst weekend they've worked in their careers. The violence,
Speaker 19: the droves of kids unsupervised, you know, just creating absolute mayhem.
Speaker 19: At one point would have been Sunday morning, the District
Speaker 19: four was calling for standby cars meeting. They needed more
Speaker 19: cars to help them because nearly every third shift car
Speaker 19: was at the jail with a prisoner.
Speaker 2: Oh my lord, and you're short on numbers too. It
Speaker 2: can't be understated that we don't have enough police officers
Speaker 2: out there, and the police officers that are out there
Speaker 2: are working substantial overtime hours. So what would you expect?
Speaker 2: Jostrecker told me the Indianapolis had a violent weekend and
Speaker 2: the mayor there immediately instituted a curfew. We do it.
Speaker 2: We talked about this before. Or there is a curfew,
Speaker 2: is there not for young people in downtown Cincinnati?
Speaker 19: Ken, Yeah, there absolutely a curfew. And like I said,
Speaker 19: using District four as an example, you know that they
Speaker 19: can't arrest their way out of this problem when you
Speaker 19: have nine or ten cops that are encountering three hundred juveniles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's only so much that you can do.
Speaker 19: You know, It's just the violence is absolutely just out
Speaker 19: of control in the city.
Speaker 4: Like I said, you use Indianapolis as another example.
Speaker 19: You know, they had seven people shot and two murdered
Speaker 19: in one incident. You know, homicide after homicide after homicide
Speaker 19: in Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: This stuff is just out of control.
Speaker 2: Well, if you could have your way, I mean, what
Speaker 2: do we have by way of solutions that are out there?
Speaker 2: I mean, enforcing the curfew? Could we hold parents accountable?
Speaker 2: I mean, you have to enforce the curfew, bring the
Speaker 2: kid in front of some a judicial authority, obviously to
Speaker 2: get their parents involved. And then why did you let
Speaker 2: your kid out pass curfew hours? And maybe get some
Speaker 2: answers from parents who maybe absent here just really don't care.
Speaker 2: I mean, Lord Almighty, I consider my life growing up.
Speaker 2: My folks need to know where I was all the time.
Speaker 2: And you know, you need to ask permission to be
Speaker 2: out past a certain curfew hour. And if you didn't
Speaker 2: ask for mission, you're going to get in a world
Speaker 2: to hurt when you finally got home. I mean, that
Speaker 2: kept me out of trouble for the most part anyway.
Speaker 4: Sure, but you know it's a good point bringing up
Speaker 4: the judicial system.
Speaker 19: I know, well, the juveniles that got arrested at red
Speaker 19: Win and Blue Ash, you know, Friday night, from throwing
Speaker 19: fireworks a crowd of people.
Speaker 2: The d's so disturbing, right.
Speaker 19: Was arrested Saturday morning at juvenile court and magistrate dismissed
Speaker 19: the charges. This is the this is part of the
Speaker 19: problem that we're dealing with is we can't arrest our
Speaker 19: way out of this problem. And when you do make arrest,
Speaker 19: you have magistrates in the juvenile court system that just
Speaker 19: decided that I don't like this charge, so they dismiss it. So,
Speaker 19: you know, only one part of the justice system seems
Speaker 19: to be working right now, and that's never going to
Speaker 19: fix things.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: We had a prosecutor there willing to move forward and
Speaker 2: prosecute the charges, and yet the judge just said, no, no,
Speaker 2: exercising my discretion. I'm just checking this case out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, im my understanding.
Speaker 19: I believe the prosecutor's office is likely going to appeal
Speaker 19: this decision.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But like I said.
Speaker 19: You have kids that get arrested the police do the
Speaker 19: right thing, only for them to be let back out.
Speaker 19: It's no wonder that we're having a problem with all
Speaker 19: these juveniles, not only here in Hamilton County, but across
Speaker 19: the country, because this is a problem everywhere in every
Speaker 19: major city.
Speaker 2: Well, and if I was in mayor aft have Purvoll's place,
Speaker 2: or as one of the council members, I would out
Speaker 2: loud say something about that, say listen. In order to
Speaker 2: bring about some safety and some comfort for the citizens
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati and some relief from this epic youth violence problem,
Speaker 2: I am calling upon magistrates and everybody involved in the
Speaker 2: judicial system, from prosecutors through the judges on all levels,
Speaker 2: to start taking these crimes seriously and not throwing them out.
Speaker 2: The silence from the council and elected officials, including the mayor,
Speaker 2: is deafening, is it not, Ken.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean absolutely, I mean said, not only have
Speaker 19: you had all this violence, you had to get police
Speaker 19: officers shot at back to back days. Yeah, I've heard
Speaker 19: absolutely nothing from elected officials.
Speaker 4: Nothing.
Speaker 2: That's heartbreaking, Ken, it really is. You feel, I mean,
Speaker 2: we all feel so let down about it. It's almost
Speaker 2: it's it's tacit approval. If they're not out loud screaming
Speaker 2: about the violence and demanding answers and demanding accountability and
Speaker 2: demanding prosecutions. Then they're silence I think shows support indirect
Speaker 2: or tasked support for the violence that's going on. In
Speaker 2: other words, kids, keep it up because nothing is going
Speaker 2: to happen to you.
Speaker 19: Yeah, And to be quite honest, the cops are fed
Speaker 19: up with it. They're done with it. You know, the
Speaker 19: every weekend you have cops working Friday and Saturday nights
Speaker 19: with SWAT, CDRT. You're working over time. It's going to
Speaker 19: come to a breaking point where cops are just going
Speaker 19: to say, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm wasting my time.
Speaker 19: I'm not doing it anymore. And then what's That's when
Speaker 19: that's when things are really going to.
Speaker 4: Get bad, As if it's not bad enough already.
Speaker 2: Are the number of officers planning on retiring or taking
Speaker 2: early retirement or just basically dropping out of law enforcement?
Speaker 2: Do you get any indications those numbers are going up
Speaker 2: right now? Are they getting wars?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 4: I mean it's weekly. We're losing people weekly.
Speaker 19: That just that the people that weren't even really on
Speaker 19: the radar, if you will of Hey, I'm going to retire.
Speaker 19: I got a classmate of mine that just said I'm out,
Speaker 19: I'm done, and these yeah, I think the end of
Speaker 19: this month he's done. He's not staying for the you know,
Speaker 19: the drop program.
Speaker 4: He's like, I've had enough.
Speaker 2: On out well. And you know, in terms of lateral hires,
Speaker 2: and I know the Council has taken steps to try
Speaker 2: to bring more lateral hires and officers that have experienced
Speaker 2: some other law enforcement. It's a shorter window of training,
Speaker 2: not like a brand new cadet class, and those are
Speaker 2: in line too. But I mean, if it's bad, that
Speaker 2: bad morale wise, and from an officer considering employment of
Speaker 2: the Insant Police Department, here's about this, Like wait a minute,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be out there putting my life on the line,
Speaker 2: spinning my wheels, and they're going to get just freed
Speaker 2: by the justice system because as well the magistrates, you
Speaker 2: don't think it's a legitimate charge. What's the point I'm
Speaker 2: going to go in with a bad taste in my
Speaker 2: mouth as a potential employee.
Speaker 19: Well, because it's going on in every department around this country,
Speaker 19: you'll be quite honest. So I think they're looking at
Speaker 19: it as the financial benefit of coming here, because you're
Speaker 19: going to do pretty well. I mean, over time is
Speaker 19: so readily available, you can make as much money as
Speaker 19: you want, and I think that's what a lot of
Speaker 19: officers are going to be coming here for.
Speaker 2: Well, at least, I guess that's one bright spot in
Speaker 2: the whole equation. We have officers that are still willing
Speaker 2: to work for this insane police department. But it's really
Speaker 2: it's heartbreaking to know that this is happening broadly and
Speaker 2: across our country. Of course, I can only blame the
Speaker 2: Democrats for their anti police policies, and of course all
Speaker 2: the liberal prosecutors and liberal judges that they put in
Speaker 2: place in these various blue cities. They're getting what they're
Speaker 2: asking for, it seems Ken.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 19: I mean, it's absolutely disgusting that you don't have elected
Speaker 19: officials speA out against his violence. That you're not going
Speaker 19: to judges saying hold these people accountable. It's just not occurring,
Speaker 19: and that's why we're in the position that we're in.
Speaker 2: Wow, well, not a pretty picture you're painting to day
Speaker 2: at ken Kober. But at least we get to talk
Speaker 2: about it and raise everybody's awareness to it, and maybe
Speaker 2: we can start making demands on our elected officials, like
Speaker 2: threaten them with being chucked out of office in November,
Speaker 2: there's an option, Ken Cobert, God bless you and each
Speaker 2: you and ever remember the police department. We obviously appreciate
Speaker 2: how tough it is to do your job every day,
Speaker 2: and I'm a little disappointed that so many more are retiring.
Speaker 2: But you know what, it doesn't shock me in any way,
Speaker 2: shape or form, given this the current climate. God bless
Speaker 2: you man. Keep up the great work, and you're always
Speaker 2: have a venue here to talk about what's going on.
Speaker 4: Sure, thanks for having me, Brian.
Speaker 2: Thanks Ken, always a pleasure. Christopher Smithman up next. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I wonder what he wants to talk about. First. Oder

Speaker 6: This is fifty five an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Fifty five kerr CV talk station. Monday. That means it's
Speaker 2: time for the former vice mayor of the city since
Speaker 2: say Christopher Smithman and the smither Vent. Christopher, welcome back
Speaker 2: to the morning show. What's great hearing from you. I
Speaker 2: understand you're all a gended up this morning.
Speaker 5: Oh man.
Speaker 7: I mean, first of all, good morning, Brian. To hear
Speaker 7: the FOP president Ken Kober talk about what's happening, the crime,
Speaker 7: the violence in our city, I don't even know where
Speaker 7: to start. It was actually my lead vent in this morning.
Speaker 7: And to hear him say officers are being shot at,
Speaker 7: you know, to hear the I don't want to say
Speaker 7: desperation in this voice. I don't know want because you know,
Speaker 7: I don't know the FLP president to say there was desperation,
Speaker 7: but to hear it was definitely frustration.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've got.
Speaker 7: Three hundred youth running around. You know, curfew is not
Speaker 7: being enforced. You know, he can't really say, like I
Speaker 7: can say that he has a city hall that's not
Speaker 7: backing them up. You know, the fundamental question is where
Speaker 7: is the mayor? Who is the mayor? I mean, this
Speaker 7: is the reality of where we are while young people
Speaker 7: are dying. I mean to wake up to three people
Speaker 7: shot on the banks, I mean, that is the heart
Speaker 7: of your downtown, that's where the Dora is, that's where
Speaker 7: our stadiums are, you know, and so city call keeps
Speaker 7: saying everybody is safe. These are one offs. And then
Speaker 7: to hear the FOP president Say Hey, a twenty year
Speaker 7: veteran is saying, this is the most violent time they've
Speaker 7: ever served as a Cincinnati Police officer. That is the reality.
Speaker 7: That is what's happening. Officers are being shot at, youth
Speaker 7: are not being held accountable. The judges are letting them
Speaker 7: loose when they are arrested, no matter what it is,
Speaker 7: whether it's a gun, whether it's fireworks, And the reality
Speaker 7: of it is, we have a mayor we can't find,
Speaker 7: we don't even know where he is. We don't have
Speaker 7: a city council that's pushing back on the mayor. They're
Speaker 7: nine members of council. Somebody should be pushing back on
Speaker 7: the mayor. Brian Thomas saying, we have to have a
Speaker 7: real plan. Number One, We've got to have uniformed officers
Speaker 7: in their cruisers downtown after nine o'clock until two or
Speaker 7: three o'clock in the morning. You can't bring down those
Speaker 7: officers between the times of eleven am and seven pm
Speaker 7: and think you're gonna deal with the crime that you
Speaker 7: and I are most concerned about. We need visible officers.
Speaker 7: You can't have cloth up officers who are in playing clothes.
Speaker 7: That doesn't deter What that does is those officers are
Speaker 7: running to the scene after something happens because you don't
Speaker 7: see the cruiser, they don't see the uniform. So if
Speaker 7: we're not gonna get control of our downtown, we're not
Speaker 7: going to get control of the core Brian Thomas, I'm
Speaker 7: trying to figure out what mayor pure Vault is doing.
Speaker 7: This is why I'm supporting Corey Bowman premiere. This is
Speaker 7: why I'm supporting somebody like Matthew's for city Council. I
Speaker 7: want something different. I don't want to get to November
Speaker 7: and have the same problems st you and I talking
Speaker 7: about the same thing next year, because we have the
Speaker 7: same administration. And I'll tell anybody listening in the fifty
Speaker 7: two neighborhoods, you vote for the same thing, you're going
Speaker 7: to get exactly what you voted for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question about it. And quite often, you know,
Speaker 2: the whole judicial element is out of our control. Now
Speaker 2: we do have the ability to vote for judges, but
Speaker 2: if you have these magistrates that are just letting people
Speaker 2: out without you know, the approval of the Prosecutor's office,
Speaker 2: and I think that suggests a real problem right there. Again,
Speaker 2: going back to the police. Why bother doing your job
Speaker 2: knowing full well then the rest for a curfew violation.
Speaker 2: Even with a bunch of kids gathering in a gang
Speaker 2: and threatening people or committing criminal acts, you know they're
Speaker 2: going to be let out. Why deal with the paperwork?
Speaker 2: What's the point? And so you know the.
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas, Brian Thomas, why do they push back on
Speaker 7: us at city Hall and tell law abiding citizens not
Speaker 7: to carry a firearm to protect themselves? See this is
Speaker 7: the part I don't understand. It's like, you're not going
Speaker 7: to protect this and then you're saying you don't want
Speaker 7: me to protect myself. I don't understand that logic.
Speaker 2: Well I don't either. And if they don't want people
Speaker 2: with firearms downtown, I think a lot of businesses are
Speaker 2: going to suffer. You think about like that couple that
Speaker 2: got attacked coming out of Ruby's Steakhouse. I mean, you
Speaker 2: have a seven o'clock or eight o'clock up reservation. You're
Speaker 2: not going to be out of there before eleven pm.
Speaker 2: And that's apparently when the streets start getting unruly and dangerous.
Speaker 2: So I imagine a significant drop off for a lot
Speaker 2: of restaurants and businesses downtown. You know the Brady Center
Speaker 2: with concerts, you're going to be feel comfortable coming out
Speaker 2: of a concert right there by the banks and walking
Speaker 2: back to your car.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 7: And before we go Brian for this segment, let me
Speaker 7: say I don't want anybody to walk away or listening
Speaker 7: to the two of us, both of us are pro
Speaker 7: Cincinnati amen. Both of them us want Cincinnati to do well.
Speaker 7: Both of us are really want to support the mayor
Speaker 7: and city council. We want the greatness for Cincinnati, but
Speaker 7: we can't have this much violent around our fifty two
Speaker 7: neighborhoods and specifically in downtown. And you and I sit
Speaker 7: here and not call it out. Listen to the mainstream
Speaker 7: media say everything's okay, come on downtown. There's no way
Speaker 7: the former vice mayor is gonna go downtown, go to
Speaker 7: downtown after a certain time period because I don't want
Speaker 7: to deal and have one of these confrontations that ends
Speaker 7: up me or the person in a bad situation. Downtown
Speaker 7: is out of control. And we have a mayor who
Speaker 7: is assent.
Speaker 2: Seven thirty on a Monday talking with Christopher smithm and
Speaker 2: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati about the
Speaker 2: significant problem we're having with violence, lots of shootings over
Speaker 2: the weekend, and prior to that, a full week worth
Speaker 2: of violence, mostly in the Central Business district. Joe Strecker
Speaker 2: noticed a sort of a a parallel between where the
Speaker 2: violence and the thefts and the assaults all happened along
Speaker 2: the streetcar line. So I'm not sure if there's any
Speaker 2: connection between that or nothing. But Christopher, real quick, before
Speaker 2: we get you back on your rant. I don't mean
Speaker 2: to go off in a different direction, but we had
Speaker 2: a caller this morning and accuse you of voting for
Speaker 2: the sanctuary city law, and Joe Strecker looked it up
Speaker 2: and said, no, you weren't even present when that vote,
Speaker 2: was taking your home taking care of your cancer stricken wife, Pamela.
Speaker 5: That's true. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 7: That's not true.
Speaker 5: That's not accurate.
Speaker 7: Anybody presenting that it just doesn't have the fact.
Speaker 5: Okay, let me but yes, okay, I.
Speaker 7: Did not that's not true, and I even verbally did
Speaker 7: not support it when asked about it. I did not
Speaker 7: support it. I never supported sanctuary cities. And you can
Speaker 7: and you can call Mayor John Cranley and ask.
Speaker 2: Us you'll be laughing.
Speaker 7: It did not support say Saquare City, but here, but
Speaker 7: here's what I want to share with you. Look, we
Speaker 7: are at a point now where the National Guard needs
Speaker 7: to be called in into downtown Cincinnati. That is how serious.
Speaker 7: This is where we need to reach out to the
Speaker 7: governor and say, listen, enough is enough. If the mayor
Speaker 7: and council cannot get this violence under control, and they
Speaker 7: actually can by empowering their police department. If we have
Speaker 7: a police department that wants to do their job, but
Speaker 7: they've got to feel like they're going to be supported
Speaker 7: because they understand that once they interact with one of
Speaker 7: the young African American youth downtown with a gun, they
Speaker 7: then the white officer or black officer returns fire or
Speaker 7: has to take the life of one of these young people.
Speaker 7: They know that all of the activists across the state
Speaker 7: of Ohio and the United States, because CNN will be
Speaker 7: all on it right that they don't want to take
Speaker 7: that chance with their entire family, their life. I'm talking
Speaker 7: about the police officer. Police officers understand downside. So the
Speaker 7: bottom line is they understand that you have a mayor
Speaker 7: who really wants to reimagine the police department. They have
Speaker 7: a mayor that really wants to defund the police department. Right,
Speaker 7: we're talking in a backhanded way. He can't say it clearly,
Speaker 7: But you can go.
Speaker 17: Down to a.
Speaker 7: Protest with a bullmorn in the middle of the violence
Speaker 7: telling people that that President Donald Trump.
Speaker 17: Is a king.
Speaker 7: It tells you where his mind is. You're not focused
Speaker 7: on running the city of Cincinnati. If you're the mayor,
Speaker 7: we want every single minute of your mind focused on
Speaker 7: the city of Cincinnati. But he's so worried about thinking
Speaker 7: about running for state government, running for federal government, he
Speaker 7: can't focus on the violence, which is the number one
Speaker 7: issue in the city. Sinciety and I think Governor Mind
Speaker 7: do want should consider bringing the National Guard into downtown
Speaker 7: Cincinnati to secure it, to quell the violence and give
Speaker 7: our police department the opportunity to get their hands around it,
Speaker 7: and the four City Hall to do what do their jobs. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I cannot have these apples said, not continue to have
Speaker 7: the violence that we're having with brown people and black
Speaker 7: people killing each other in the streets. The epidemic that
Speaker 7: we're experiencing in Cincinnati is not like it's not happening
Speaker 7: in Cleveland. Are happening in Toledo, but we live in Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: Let's do something about it. Let's act like we really
Speaker 7: care about it. We can't just have a mayor who's
Speaker 7: trying to look pretty and talk about where he wants
Speaker 7: to go next when you have all of the bloodshed
Speaker 7: that's happening in our city. It's just a really and
Speaker 7: the FOP president. I hope everybody listens to that interview
Speaker 7: that you did with President FOP kN Kobra. That was
Speaker 7: sobering to hear what he was saying that was really
Speaker 7: going on, because if you listen to him and then
Speaker 7: you listen to the mayor, there are two separate stories.
Speaker 7: Who do you believe.
Speaker 2: I believe the FOP president most assuredly. He works with
Speaker 2: those officers day in and day out. He knows about
Speaker 2: the increasing numbers of officers who are planning on retiring
Speaker 2: and sort of made the decision out of nowhere, it seems.
Speaker 2: And of course, the depleted ranks of the police department
Speaker 2: can't be understated. And how do you feel a law
Speaker 2: enforcement how do you meet a law enforcement challenge if
Speaker 2: you don't have enough warm bodies in uniform to patrol
Speaker 2: the neighborhoods. So yeah, seven nine if if you have
Speaker 2: Kerosene detalk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman and Christopher
Speaker 2: doing the smither vent having a go at our elected
Speaker 2: officials downtown Cincinnati, the mayor and city council. The silence
Speaker 2: from them is acutely deafening in terms of the violence
Speaker 2: that's going on. Is this a marketing campaign or do
Speaker 2: they think just by hiding and not answering questions and
Speaker 2: not addressing it directly and not demanding people cooperate with
Speaker 2: police or supporting the police, is this just all an
Speaker 2: effort to make the to paint a pretty picture or
Speaker 2: is there something more nefarious going on. I mean, we're
Speaker 2: kind of left to guess.
Speaker 7: It's the Democratic base, some part of it, that woke
Speaker 7: part of it Brian Thomas, that we are hearing about
Speaker 7: in New York. Even with this candidate out of New York,
Speaker 7: it is rampant within the Democratic Party and so Democrats
Speaker 7: who know they're going to run in a primary. This
Speaker 7: is important to understand, not in the general action thinking
Speaker 7: how do I get out of the primary if I
Speaker 7: come out and say I support the police. When have
Speaker 7: you heard our mayor just simply say I support our
Speaker 7: police department and I want them to do proactive policing.
Speaker 7: I'd like them to be downtown when we have the crime,
Speaker 7: and I'm going to support them as they make those decisions.
Speaker 7: We know we have a youth issue downtown, we know
Speaker 7: we have guns, and we know it's a recipe for
Speaker 7: p Why can't I or say that because of his base,
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas, he's worried about a primary and if he
Speaker 7: says those kind of things, the people of most primary
Speaker 7: vote voters will not vote for him, and so he's
Speaker 7: putting our lives and our city at risk for his
Speaker 7: political career. That is the sad part of what I see. Gee,
Speaker 7: that's what I liked about Mayor John Cranley, whatever they
Speaker 7: said about him, whatever, you know, his toughness are. Sometimes
Speaker 7: he can be, you know, verbally rough on people when
Speaker 7: he's holding account of but he was tough on crime.
Speaker 7: You know, John didn't messing.
Speaker 2: You're kind of you're breaking up a Look, you're breaking
Speaker 2: up a little bit, Christopher on and know we can
Speaker 2: do anything about that.
Speaker 5: Now, I'm sorry I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I'm saying John Cranley was tough on crime. He was
Speaker 7: a blue dog Democrat. Yeah, we don't have that anymore,
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas. We're missing that within the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, Let me test your theory
Speaker 2: real quick on that. Now you're saying the mayor doesn't
Speaker 2: want to outloud support the police because you know, he
Speaker 2: might get primary and he might he might drive away
Speaker 2: his far left wing base. But you live in the city,
Speaker 2: since you are a member of one of the neighborhoods
Speaker 2: in the city of Cincinnati, you know, and you interact
Speaker 2: with people in the city of Cincinnati each and every day.
Speaker 2: I mean, your job's in the city Cincinnati, the whole thing.
Speaker 2: So do you really truly get a sense that your
Speaker 2: people in your community really have a disdain for police
Speaker 2: or would they prefer a greater police presence, Because I
Speaker 2: keep thinking that this anti police sentiment, it's bad for
Speaker 2: every neighborhood. If you have crime in your neighborhood, I
Speaker 2: would like to think that you want it cleaned up,
Speaker 2: and clean it up, you need cops, and that most
Speaker 2: people probably really deep down support the police and would
Speaker 2: like to see their neighborhood safe, and that they reject
Speaker 2: this argument that the police are all evil people. And
Speaker 2: should be kicked out of the neighborhood. So where are
Speaker 2: you on that in your belief relative to what the
Speaker 2: people actually want?
Speaker 7: I think the silent majority. No matter where you live,
Speaker 7: whether it's Paddock Hills, North Avondale, Bond Hill, whether it's
Speaker 7: Price Hill, whether it's Westwood, you want the police. Okay,
Speaker 7: but you and I. What I'm talking about is a
Speaker 7: primary where we just saw I don't know what the
Speaker 7: number was, maybe seven percent of voter show up. T'mar okay.
Speaker 7: That means ninety three percent of those other voter state homes, right.
Speaker 7: And so what politicians' way is, if I can't get
Speaker 7: out of the primary, I can't run in the general.
Speaker 7: I'm letting you know how politicians think. And so he
Speaker 7: cannot piss off meaning this, this current mayor can't piss
Speaker 7: off this woke part of his party. They vote wants
Speaker 7: you to kneel because they vote. And if he comes
Speaker 7: out and says I support the police, and they're out
Speaker 7: there saying no, I want you to reimagine it. I
Speaker 7: want you to bring counselors in to respond to runs.
Speaker 7: I want you to defund the police, whatever the word is.
Speaker 7: I want you to do he's thinking in his head
Speaker 7: the next step. If I do those things, I might
Speaker 7: not win a primary, right, And so this is the
Speaker 7: problem with electing people that are as ambitious as our
Speaker 7: current mayor. That's what I'm saying. So they answer your
Speaker 7: question is yes, our fifty two neighborhoods, Brian Thomas, they
Speaker 7: overwhelmingly want police and want to support the police, want
Speaker 7: to call nine to one one and get a response. However,
Speaker 7: in a primary, many of those people aren't showing.
Speaker 2: Up the voting.
Speaker 7: In a general they are, but in a primary they're not.
Speaker 7: You can't have seven percent show up, right, Those seven
Speaker 7: percent that show up for those that are motivated, and
Speaker 7: that is what our current mayor is most concerned about,
Speaker 7: and we're suffering because of it. And this is why
Speaker 7: I really think the governor should consider bringing the National
Speaker 7: Guardian into our downtown to secure it. We cannot continue
Speaker 7: to have the number of African Americans losing their lives
Speaker 7: and we have a dysfunctional mayor who cannot put a
Speaker 7: plan together. And part of that plan is supporting the
Speaker 7: police department in a way that they understand they're supported.
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas. It's not about just bringing your police chief,
Speaker 7: who's a great police chief, Chief Fiji, bringing her forward
Speaker 7: and saying, hey, here's what crime looks like across the city.
Speaker 7: Is going to your chief and saying, I've got your back.
Speaker 5: Chief.
Speaker 7: Here's what I want you to do. Get me the
Speaker 7: police in the downtown, give me a presence of force
Speaker 7: so that everybody understands we're not going to tolerate it.
Speaker 7: And if they can't do it, the state of Ohio
Speaker 7: is obligated, in my opinion, to do it. I want
Speaker 7: to say something before we go, because I know the
Speaker 7: time will get away. My heart goes out to the
Speaker 7: Texas families off their lives. You know, you and I
Speaker 7: have kids. Anybody that has a child right has sent
Speaker 7: their child away to camp. They've got their families that
Speaker 7: are listening to us, and their kids are at camp
Speaker 7: right now. These are the things that just tear your
Speaker 7: heart out. You know, eight ninety ten year olds who
Speaker 7: are drowned, and the weather pattern, my understanding, change so dramatically.
Speaker 7: So there's nobody there quote at fault, but the reality
Speaker 7: of it is it's a try that is still going
Speaker 7: on right now, and I hope the federal government, which
Speaker 7: I'm sure they will, will intervene, do whatever they can
Speaker 7: do to support Texas. But I've never seen anything like
Speaker 7: this in my lifetime where I've seen so many young
Speaker 7: people lose their lives to some type of catastrophic tropic
Speaker 7: wintery weather event, and so have I just been watching
Speaker 7: it in my heart. Brian has just been going out
Speaker 7: for those families that just where they have not found
Speaker 7: the bodies of these young people as they're searching for them.
Speaker 2: It is so tragic, and it just like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I've watched some of the videos on that Christopher and
Speaker 2: that water just came out of nowhere. When you see
Speaker 2: how quickly the riverbanks rose and they just they were overwhelmed, inundated,
Speaker 2: And the idea that these alerts went out in the
Speaker 2: middle of the night, I mean, you know, there's only
Speaker 2: so much you can do. If you don't have your
Speaker 2: cell phone on and you're not in a place to
Speaker 2: get an alert, you're going to be a victim of
Speaker 2: this flood. So yeah, it's just awful, It really really is.
Speaker 1: It's really really really awful.
Speaker 7: My heart just goes out to those families. And I
Speaker 7: also want to say, and I know these these are
Speaker 7: not these are disconnected topics. But you know, there's a
Speaker 7: lot of chatter about tariffs. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 7: spoken about them, but just to say, here's my bottom line,
Speaker 7: I'm really tired of the United States getting ripped off.
Speaker 7: That's really where I am. And I don't mind the
Speaker 7: short term pain for the long term gain at at
Speaker 7: at at some point, we've got to reign in these countries,
Speaker 7: in my opinion, and I don't and I'm not smart
Speaker 7: enough to know which countries we need to rein in.
Speaker 7: China is obviously one of them. But the reality of
Speaker 7: it is, we have got to set a standard here
Speaker 7: and it's not gonna be easy to do. So I'm
Speaker 7: an I'm appreciative that the White House that President Trump
Speaker 7: is willing to stand up to some of these countries
Speaker 7: and say to them, listen, if if we bring our
Speaker 7: cars to your country, and you're gonna are just a
Speaker 7: thirty five percent fee, I'm interchanging the word fee and
Speaker 7: terror for me to bring those goods into your country,
Speaker 7: you bring yours in them. I'm not going to charge
Speaker 7: you anything that just doesn't seem fair to me. And
Speaker 7: so whatever that fair ground is, there's a lot of
Speaker 7: smarter people than me who want to deal with you know,
Speaker 7: our trade deficit. But I just want to say publicly,
Speaker 7: I think the White House and the President they're on
Speaker 7: the right track here, and this week we're going to
Speaker 7: see things coming to a head. I mean, the reason
Speaker 7: I'm bringing it up is the tear of deadlines are here.
Speaker 7: I think we're going to see things coming to a head.
Speaker 7: And I want to be publicans say hey, listen, this
Speaker 7: is a good thing. We might have a short term blips.
Speaker 7: You know what I do for a living in the
Speaker 7: in the stock market. We've got to be as Americans
Speaker 7: thinking longer term, not just what's happening on a daily
Speaker 7: basis with our portfolios. There's a bigger picture here when
Speaker 7: we're in this global economy, and we've had globalists be
Speaker 7: the President's for a long time, right, who really decimated
Speaker 7: the middle class, decimated our manufacturing across our country. And
Speaker 7: you can just drive through through the state of Ohio
Speaker 7: and see those manufacturing plants that have been closed. Well,
Speaker 7: where do you think those jobs went? Those jobs went
Speaker 7: to Mexico, those jobs went to China. And you have
Speaker 7: a president that's saying, listen, I want to build a
Speaker 7: middle class in the United States, not in India. I
Speaker 7: want to build a middle class in the United States,
Speaker 7: not in China. I think that's the right position for
Speaker 7: the right house. Now what is the right calibration? Not
Speaker 7: smart enough to know that, but big picture, I think
Speaker 7: he's on the right track.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I share your conclusions in that regard. Christopher Smithman,
Speaker 2: it's always a pleasure getting you on the program every Monday.
Speaker 2: I'll look forward to next Monday, another brother smith have
Speaker 2: a great week. Then you know what, folks, I bet
Speaker 2: proof is in the pudding. I would never steer you
Speaker 2: in the wrong direction and check you in often for
Speaker 2: what's developing.
Speaker 1: This is just developing out of the Middle East now,
Speaker 1: right now, it's developing. Fifty five krc the talk station.
Speaker 2: It's AATO five at fifty five KRCV talk station. And
Speaker 2: hope you're having a decent Monday. I hope you had
Speaker 2: a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Of course, lots of prayers going
Speaker 2: out for the folks dealing with the devastating flooding in Texas.
Speaker 2: Just overwhelming video I just I just keeps flashing through
Speaker 2: my mind seeing some of the craziness going on and
Speaker 2: the overwhelming volume of water that just seemed to show
Speaker 2: up in a moment's time. So I feel very confident.
Speaker 2: I didn't look at Matthew twenty five Ministry's website, but
Speaker 2: you want your contribution to go one hundred percent to
Speaker 2: those in need, it will be the best place to
Speaker 2: donate some money. All the money goes to those folks
Speaker 2: in need, and Matthew twenty five usually stepping up to
Speaker 2: the plate really quickly in the aftermath of these natural disasters.
Speaker 2: So I presume that that is the case. This morning,
Speaker 2: UH five on three seven eight hundred eighty two to
Speaker 2: three talk Go with Tom five fifty on at and
Speaker 2: T phones if you have a comment, love to hear
Speaker 2: from you. But continuing a theme since started with Kenkober
Speaker 2: FLP President at seven oh five on they just the
Speaker 2: outrageous amount of violence going on the city of Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: Lots and lots of shootings. Of course, the roving gangs
Speaker 2: of teenagers ignoring curfew, the failure of the judges and
Speaker 2: the magistrates that actually enforce curfew when they are picked
Speaker 2: up in violation of curfew, makes the cops not want
Speaker 2: to do their job. Of course, A depressing report from
Speaker 2: Ken on the morale level with the CINCINNT Police Department.
Speaker 2: A lot of people planning on quitting the job. And
Speaker 2: when you hear that, Ken Reports, a twenty year veteran
Speaker 2: police officer, said he has never ever seen things as
Speaker 2: bad as they are right now in terms of the violence.
Speaker 2: You know, you have a real problem on your hands.
Speaker 2: And I would imagine given that police aren't inclined to
Speaker 2: do their job and arrest people safe for curfew violations
Speaker 2: because it's an exercise in futility, leaving them with hours
Speaker 2: of paperwork and apparently no resulting prosecutions. Word of course,
Speaker 2: among the young people's gotten out about that they don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about curfew and you know, damn it,
Speaker 2: where are the parents and all this? But Vicki nut
Speaker 2: Are apparently a resident of the city of Cincinnati, and
Speaker 2: Corey Bowman reposted her post from Facebook and she sums
Speaker 2: it up nicely. She obviously is well connected with what's
Speaker 2: going on here. And Vicky, I appreciate you going out
Speaker 2: on a limon saying what you are thinking about and
Speaker 2: what you're asking for from the elected officials. Dear Mayor,
Speaker 2: I have to have pur of all members of city Council.
Speaker 2: She writes, I'm writing you in someone who's lived in
Speaker 2: downtown CINCINNAI for almost five years and has a family
Speaker 2: legacy in Cincinnati since the mid eighteen hundreds. My family
Speaker 2: and I have probably supported the city, believing its future
Speaker 2: by opening multiple businesses downtown, but are growing increasingly discouraged
Speaker 2: by the direction of the city is heading. What used
Speaker 2: to be a vibrant in Liverpool City now feels unsafe,
Speaker 2: poorly managed, and weighed down by misplaced priorities. The over
Speaker 2: one majority of citizens wants the same basic things, and
Speaker 2: this is something Christopher agreed with safety, order and clean
Speaker 2: functional city. I'm not asking for perfection. We're asking to
Speaker 2: do the job you're elected to do. The job is
Speaker 2: not to pander to fringe ideological movements. It's a lead
Speaker 2: and keep us safe. It's not that complicated. Start with
Speaker 2: law and order, she writes. The banks and OTR, which
Speaker 2: should be a showcase for our city, has become chaotic.
Speaker 2: What should be welcoming destination for tourists, families, and professionals
Speaker 2: is being overrun by crime, aggressive behavior, in an atmosphere
Speaker 2: that drives good people away. Large groups loiter with no
Speaker 2: regard for the public, fights breakout, cars motorcycles recklessly race
Speaker 2: through the streets at all hours, pandering non stop and aggressive.
Speaker 2: People feel unsafe and they feel they're either avoiding the
Speaker 2: area or leaving the city altogether. Banks Area, Reds Bengals,
Speaker 2: J Brady Music Center, Heritage Bank Center, Smell Park, and
Speaker 2: many of our best bars and restaurants. It should be
Speaker 2: a completely safe zone with a strong, visible and constant
Speaker 2: police presidence. Crime and homelessness should not be tolerated here,
Speaker 2: not because we lack compassion, because the city is set,
Speaker 2: because it's the city's front porch and we should treat
Speaker 2: it that way. OTR includes our shopping and dining destinations,
Speaker 2: Arts District, FCC, Cincinnati Family Market, and Environment residential Area.
Speaker 2: What used to happen at night, shootings, stabbings and assaults
Speaker 2: are now commonplace in the middle of the day time.
Speaker 2: Our once beautiful Piot Park front ports of the city
Speaker 2: hall overrun with the homeless who use the benches for beds,
Speaker 2: water fountains for bathing, and the connect Cincinnati alleys for
Speaker 2: garbage picking, restrooms and drug transactions. Ninth Street Historic residential
Speaker 2: District that includes a school in several churches is a
Speaker 2: dangerous racetrack to ice seventy five at all hours of
Speaker 2: the day and night. Fountain District has now become like
Speaker 2: the Wild West, where shootings and assaults cur almost daily.
Speaker 2: We must embrace our police officers and let them do
Speaker 2: their jobs. They should not feel uncuffed by policies, public scrutiny,
Speaker 2: or lack of institutional support. Officers need to be empowered
Speaker 2: to enforce the law and hold criminals accountable, whether it's
Speaker 2: petty crime or violent offenses. At the same time, we
Speaker 2: must begin to incentivize the next generation to join law enforcement.
Speaker 2: We continued treating police officers like a problem instead of
Speaker 2: part of the solution, we will soon face a staffing
Speaker 2: crisis that no amount of policy can fix. Too often
Speaker 2: we're being held back by regulation, red tape, and hesitation
Speaker 2: to act. Across the river in northern Kentucky coming to
Speaker 2: the Newport are thriving building out there in riverfronts, adding restaurants, bars, housing,
Speaker 2: and more. Meanwhile, Cincinnati sits paralyzed. We should have floating bars, docks,
Speaker 2: and waterfront restaurants on the Ohio River. Our greatest natural
Speaker 2: asset is sitting under utilized, While underutilized, while investment gets
Speaker 2: smothered in permitting delays and outdated zoning laws. Sounds like
Speaker 2: Corey Bowman, doesn't it. We need to remove unnecessary barriers
Speaker 2: to progress and courage entrepreneurs, embrace creativity, make it easy
Speaker 2: and affordable to build our businesses. Here Cincinnati is worth
Speaker 2: fighting for, but it needs leadership. Real leadership, the kind
Speaker 2: of puts public safety before political optics, not the kind
Speaker 2: of prioritize the common sense. The kind of prioritizes common
Speaker 2: sense over ideology, the kind that does not serve a
Speaker 2: nod for a profit. Do the city's job to keep
Speaker 2: our streets clean and safe, and taxing us a special
Speaker 2: assessment for these services. We have the talent, we have
Speaker 2: the location, we have the people. Now we need the
Speaker 2: courage to act. Cincinnati deserves more. Speaking for frustrated but
Speaker 2: hopeful downtown residents and business owners. Again, props of Vicky
Speaker 2: Nutter and appreciate Corey Bowman reposting it because they don't
Speaker 2: know that. I'm not friends with Vicky, so I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have seen this. Have some Cory's repost. Let's get over
Speaker 2: to the phone. It's got a couple of callers online.
Speaker 2: We'll start with patriot. Jeff, Jeff, welcome back, my friend.
Speaker 2: It's always good hearing from you.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian. You and Joe are true patriots.
Speaker 2: Buddy, appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: What's going on in your world? What's on your mind today,
Speaker 2: my friend?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean.
Speaker 3: It's so frustrating when we see us in common sense
Speaker 3: and how we were raised. They seem to anyone.
Speaker 21: That seems to be in the political spectrum and that,
Speaker 21: you know, if it's everybody here and both to northern
Speaker 21: Kentucky and Cincinnati, it seems like they've forgotten the difference
Speaker 21: between the carrot and the stick.
Speaker 3: They seem to think that if we just keep giving
Speaker 3: them the carrot, or we get more carrots, or we
Speaker 3: bigger carrots, they'll they'll be okay, everybody will work out.
Speaker 3: We'll all see Kumbai ya and whatever. And you and
Speaker 3: I understand that humans aren't like that. I mean, we
Speaker 3: we actually thrive on you know, hardness and pushing ourselves
Speaker 3: to be better. And yet if you take all the
Speaker 3: roadblocks away, especially when you're acting negatively towards the community,
Speaker 3: then I don't even understand why people even think it's
Speaker 3: going to get better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a legitimate point you're making, Jeff, I
Speaker 2: have to acknowledge that, or want to acknowledge that. Life
Speaker 2: is not an easy thing. You know, was it the
Speaker 2: old John Winning quote quote? Life is hard. It's harder
Speaker 2: if you're stupid. The government seems to suggest, and I
Speaker 2: regularly suggests, at least folks on largely the left hand
Speaker 2: side of the political ledger, that they can eliminate these
Speaker 2: speed bumps in life, that they can make everything easy
Speaker 2: and smooth the path and avoid all confrontations that you
Speaker 2: might encounter. I mean, when you were commenting about programs,
Speaker 2: you're like paying people to not commit crime. That's a
Speaker 2: legitimate thing. You know. Wait a second, really, no, I
Speaker 2: didn't commit crime because I was afraid of punishment. You know,
Speaker 2: from starting when I was a little kid my parents,
Speaker 2: to the criminal justice system, being held accountable, spending time
Speaker 2: in jail. There's a lot of reasons why I wouldn't
Speaker 2: want to engage in criminal activity. Plus there's that whole
Speaker 2: thing of pesky morals and ethics that my parents raised
Speaker 2: me with. So oh, you know there's a thought as well.
Speaker 2: I don't have the answer to the societal breakdown. I
Speaker 2: think largely it's a result of the familial breakdown and
Speaker 2: the lack of you know, solid nuclear families providing children
Speaker 2: with guidance morals and ethics and maybe even religious.
Speaker 8: Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean if you think about it, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: especially when you're an officer, when you're police, you know,
Speaker 3: you're it says right there on the cruisers, you know,
Speaker 3: serve and protect. I mean, these are people that are
Speaker 3: willing to run towards the sound of violence, to to
Speaker 3: step in front of the civilians to protect them. And
Speaker 3: yet we act like they're the enemy. And I'm just
Speaker 3: or I should say, the new culture is that they're
Speaker 3: and somehow negative, and yet they work so hard to
Speaker 3: help us and and protect us, and and and even
Speaker 3: I'm never well, I mean I understand. And there are cases,
Speaker 3: you know, very few in the world where the police
Speaker 3: officers do get a little heavy handed. Every police officer
Speaker 3: I've ever met never wants to be violent, never wants
Speaker 3: to pull their weapon. That they would love for every
Speaker 3: single person to just do what they ask them to
Speaker 3: do and they and everything would de escalate. But for
Speaker 3: some reason, now it seems like every walk of life,
Speaker 3: our entertainment, everything paints the police as this negative force. Well,
Speaker 3: I've never understood that from a young age.
Speaker 2: Always remember that just because that is widely reported that
Speaker 2: people's general attitude is that the police are bad and
Speaker 2: need to be re envisioned or remade or gotten rid
Speaker 2: of completely. That is the minority voice. That's why I
Speaker 2: made a specific point of asking Christopher Smithman, who literally
Speaker 2: lives in the Cincinnati and spends a lot of time
Speaker 2: talking with folks within the various communities. No, the vast
Speaker 2: majority of us actually want law and order. It's the
Speaker 2: silent majority out there that apparently don't have the social
Speaker 2: media weight to control the narrative, a narrative which is
Speaker 2: overwhelmed by the far left wing of the Democrat Party,
Speaker 2: which is all about defund police, Black Lives matter kind
Speaker 2: of issues, and Antifa. Those are the minority. Yet they're
Speaker 2: the loudest, squeakiest wheels in the room, and they have
Speaker 2: a way of actually getting their non governmental organizations funded
Speaker 2: by crazy left wing administrations like I have to have
Speaker 2: par Ball and the members of Cincinnai City Council. That's
Speaker 2: where they're getting their push, that's where they're getting their directive.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't draw or come up with any
Speaker 2: other conclusion than that, because the vast majority of us
Speaker 2: want law and order eight seventeen fifty five kres through
Speaker 2: the talk stationan marine you are in next, you don't
Speaker 2: mind holding for a moment, Looking forward to having you
Speaker 2: on the program. And a recommendation to get in touch
Speaker 2: with Zimmer Heating and Cooling. They've been making Cincinnati area
Speaker 2: homes safe, efficient and comfortable for a coming up on

Speaker 2: Welcome to the morning show.
Speaker 20: Hi, good morning, Brian. Thanks taking my call. I wanted
Speaker 20: to chime in on the information about the crime in
Speaker 20: the city. I like to go there once in a
Speaker 20: while to visit, and last time I was there a
Speaker 20: little over a month ago. The I like to walk
Speaker 20: the bridges, so as I was walking them, a person
Speaker 20: on a bike came toward me and said you bet
Speaker 20: or not? He said you better turn around. I wouldn't
Speaker 20: recommend going that way. There's a guy with a machete
Speaker 20: wielding it who waited, just waiting for someone to attack,
Speaker 20: and he goes. I'm thankful I was on my bike
Speaker 20: because I was able to get away. So anyway, so
Speaker 20: I've been hearing more and more about all of this
Speaker 20: on your program. And my daughter's getting married in a
Speaker 20: few months this summer. So we sent out a list
Speaker 20: in the thank you, a list of hotels to stay
Speaker 20: at in the invitation. Well, now we're getting calls from
Speaker 20: people out of town saying that they are hearing about
Speaker 20: the crime in Cincinnati. Can we send them a list
Speaker 20: of hotels outside of this city and so that they
Speaker 20: can stay there and feel safe. So it's acting the
Speaker 20: business this big time, and it's not locally that people
Speaker 20: are hearing about this. It's making news and other states.
Speaker 20: It's unbelievable. But this mayor has got to be replaced.
Speaker 20: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I agree. You know, I'm a fan of Corey Bowman.
Speaker 2: He's not a perfectly polished, you know, one hundred percent
Speaker 2: across the board guaranteed low candidate, but he's certainly a
Speaker 2: refreshing alternative to Mayor. I have to have purvol who
Speaker 2: thinks he can just ignore this problem. But no, you're right,
Speaker 2: word's gotten out. I mean we all know about it locally.
Speaker 2: I mean even our local news outlets will report when
Speaker 2: when people get shot. And I woke up this morning
Speaker 2: every single story in my local local news involve these
Speaker 2: shootings that happened over the past three days. So you
Speaker 2: can't cover it up.
Speaker 20: It's something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and statistically speaking, you make the numbers, and of
Speaker 2: course national news outlets reported like, oh my god, Citio,
Speaker 2: Cincinnatia has a twenty seven percent uptick in violent crime,
Speaker 2: and like, oh my god, really, yeah that's true.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's getting a reputation. Another thing too, I can't
Speaker 20: let it go on. The weather engineering. Just one thing
Speaker 20: that I recommend people if they're trying to convince someone
Speaker 20: of this. There's a YouTube video called the Dimming and
Speaker 20: it goes into detail. It's got US Air Force brigadier
Speaker 20: generals discussing all the mechanisms for the weather modification, the
Speaker 20: keem trails and everything, and the patents that they've been
Speaker 20: that are in place since eighteen eighty in regards to
Speaker 20: weather modification.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course you're marketing back to the story
Speaker 2: that I mentioned this morning. After having seen this, and again,
Speaker 2: I'm a fence sitter. I have always denied the idea
Speaker 2: that kemtrails existed, but I actually witnessed something that you
Speaker 2: know pretty damn well, but describes them. When we were
Speaker 2: over in Indiana last weekend, it was a high altitude
Speaker 2: jet going back and forth in an actual pattern, back
Speaker 2: and forth with the we'll call it keem trail on
Speaker 2: and then a noticeable absence of it for a period
Speaker 2: of time and then it came back on again. It
Speaker 2: was like, you know, a Morris Code kind of effect
Speaker 2: with on dash space dash space and then a turn
Speaker 2: and a loop back making a pattern back and forth.
Speaker 2: So it's like, no, they can't be on final approach
Speaker 2: to the airport in Indianapolis because why would they be
Speaker 2: doing that back and forth with this pattern going on.
Speaker 2: So my kids immediately, Yeah, they believe in chemtrails and
Speaker 2: they believe that, you know, aluminum or something being dumped
Speaker 2: on crops. Regardless of what they believe, I'm like, wow,
Speaker 2: this is the first time I've ever seen it. And
Speaker 2: then you couple that with Marjorie Taylor green House US
Speaker 2: House Representative and are introducing federal legislation over the weekend
Speaker 2: to outlaw this, coupled with the built in Florida with
Speaker 2: this Santus who actually came out and talked about it.
Speaker 2: Their legislative branch voted and in saying we're banning this
Speaker 2: from happening in Florida. And I trust Ron de Santas, right,
Speaker 2: And why would he go out and say this is
Speaker 2: happening and it's a thing, and I'm signing this ban
Speaker 2: into law unless it was really going on. Right.
Speaker 20: Yes, he's criminalized the atmospherical engineering and weather modification. Yeah,
Speaker 20: speak fifty six.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I said, believable.
Speaker 5: What's going on?
Speaker 20: And I hope other states adapt that as well. But
Speaker 20: right now we have some major things going on, and awahu,
Speaker 20: there's a burner fire out of control, and then there's
Speaker 20: flooding in North Carolina Pinehurst. All this is happening right now.
Speaker 20: And as London Johnson said, he who controls the weather
Speaker 20: controls the world. And I think that, you know, it's
Speaker 20: a possibility that there's some deeper meaning to what's going
Speaker 20: on here.
Speaker 2: Possible. Again, I'm a cynic in this skeptic, but I
Speaker 2: remained that way all the times, constantly jaded and cynical,
Speaker 2: waiting for real information to come in. But again, when
Speaker 2: you look at respectable elected officials with information at their disposal, obviously,
Speaker 2: these two folks, Taylor Green and Ron De Santis were
Speaker 2: convinced that this is actually a problem. So whether or
Speaker 2: not you believe in it or not, people in responsible
Speaker 2: positions who have an opportunity to view the evidence and
Speaker 2: decide whether or not they want to go on record
Speaker 2: as believing in it or not have actually gone on
Speaker 2: the record saying that yeah, it's happening, allright. I always
Speaker 2: appreciate you and what you do and all the texts
Speaker 2: and information you provide with me each and every week.

Speaker 2: Christina Hall. Coming out from next se segment, got some
Speaker 2: programs for caregivers of veterans enrolled in the VA Healthcare
Speaker 2: is going to talk about the programs that are there
Speaker 2: and what's what they're all about and the kind of
Speaker 2: services they can provide to you. My veteran friends appreciate
Speaker 2: what the VA does for each and every day. Going
Speaker 2: back to the violence inherent in the system, well, local
Speaker 2: stories all filled with it. We start from this morning,
Speaker 2: one thirty in the morning, Hutchins Avenue and Reading Road
Speaker 2: in Avondale. A man was killed in a shooting. So
Speaker 2: beyond confirming that a man was killed, it remains unclear
Speaker 2: whether the police have a suspect. Again, that one just
Speaker 2: broke this morning as we were talking about, well, violence
Speaker 2: in downtown Cincinnati. Oh look, more violence in downtown Cincinnati
Speaker 2: West End. Sunday morning shooting injured two people happened to
Speaker 2: the seven hundred block at Chestnut Street two thirty in
Speaker 2: the morning. According to Lieutenant Cunningham of the Cincinni Police Department,
Speaker 2: a sixteen year old boy was shot and taken a
Speaker 2: UC Medical Center with serious injuries, and a little bit later,
Speaker 2: a second victim, a fifteen year old boy, called from
Speaker 2: the eleven hund of block of Cedar Avenue, saying he
Speaker 2: had been shot on chess Nut Street as well taking
Speaker 2: the Children's Hospital for treatment non life threatening injuries. In
Speaker 2: that particular case, Local news CPOs Grace Hamilton reporting thank you, Grace.
Speaker 2: Apparently two cars are being investigated at the scene that
Speaker 2: she witnessed, a car that had crashed into a telephone
Speaker 2: poll on Lynn Street, another car found on Chestnut Street.
Speaker 2: Bullet holes located in the side of the Lincoln Recreation
Speaker 2: Center on Lynn Street. Officers couldn't provide a description of
Speaker 2: the suspect. No additional information available on that dull look.
Speaker 2: Three people hospitalized after shooting near the Bank's Saturday morning,
Speaker 2: according again Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham, busy MANNY as these days,
Speaker 2: shooting happened around one thirty in the morning near Walnut
Speaker 2: Street between sixth and ninth Street. Initially, report of the
Speaker 2: incident began as a fight that led to shots being fired.
Speaker 2: Victims seventeen year old girl and a nineteen year old
Speaker 2: man and a twenty year old male with then a
Speaker 2: cunning against that All three victims suffered non life threatening injuries.
Speaker 2: Despite this nearby shooting, Fox nineteen reporting Thanks Queen Shetty,
Speaker 2: got City Chapter FOP President Can Cobra says the violence
Speaker 2: in the area of the Banks has dropped significantly. He
Speaker 2: was on this morning complaining about the violence that's out there.
Speaker 2: He said, they've stayed out of the Banks, which has
Speaker 2: been a fantastic part for those bar owners down there
Speaker 2: for the night life down there. Has been a significant change,
Speaker 2: attributes the new curfew put into place. No one under
Speaker 2: twenty one is allowed of the Banks area between ten
Speaker 2: pm and two am on Friday and Saturday. However, if
Speaker 2: you do pick up someone for violating the curfew, apparently
Speaker 2: nothing is done about it, which is what Ken pointed
Speaker 2: out this morning. Magistrates just sort of on their own
Speaker 2: decision making authority throwing out charges against kids who've been
Speaker 2: picked up for violating curview and being involved in criminal
Speaker 2: activity there we go. Saturday night, Westwood Police investigate an
Speaker 2: incident believe to involve shots fired. Sergeant Anthony Mitchell since
Speaker 2: a police department speaking with Fox nineteen said the officers
Speaker 2: called a twenty nine hundred block Western Northern Boulevard about
Speaker 2: ten thirty pm for a person believed to be having
Speaker 2: a mental health episode. Sergeant Mitchell said during that time,
Speaker 2: officers heard and saw what was believed to be shots
Speaker 2: fired at them. Said this prompted the SWAT team to
Speaker 2: be called. No one was injured. Please still investigating the incident.
Speaker 2: Officers have not stated if they have arrested anyone, at
Speaker 2: least as of the time of the reporting. Over to
Speaker 2: Winton Hills Yes Shooting to report three people have been
Speaker 2: taken to the hospital after shooting in Winton Hills Saturday night.
Speaker 2: Pleae dispatch the Dutch Colony Drive about ten pm Saturday evening,
Speaker 2: police said. Dispatchers say three people were injured in the
Speaker 2: shooting and were all taken to the hospital. No additional
Speaker 2: details available again Fox nineteen reporting on that and then
Speaker 2: it was the Red, White and Blue Ash event. Multiple
Speaker 2: people arrested. Fortunately, Blue Ash officers sustain a burn injury
Speaker 2: happened Friday night after four hundred what are described as
Speaker 2: unaccompanied youth set off fireworks multiple times during the Mad
Speaker 2: Treat Red White and Blue Ash fourth of July event
Speaker 2: at Summit Park, causing panic intentionally, they say. Police report
Speaker 2: that an officer had burned injury to his leg, been
Speaker 2: treated and release from the hospital, thankfully. One juvenile taken
Speaker 2: into custody in connection with the incident is facing a
Speaker 2: charge of assault on a police officer. Police did not
Speaker 2: describe other arrests that were made Friday night. Blue Police
Speaker 2: Chief Roger Pullman said, we understand this was a scary
Speaker 2: situation for many, and we hear you. It was an
Speaker 2: unfolding situation, and our officers work quickly to apprehend the
Speaker 2: individuals involved, and we, as we do after every event,
Speaker 2: will review security protocols to ensure the safety and well
Speaker 2: being of attendees and our officers. And there's video of
Speaker 2: this going around. It's just crazy, absolutely crazy. There were
Speaker 2: thousands of people there, so you got this unruly pack
Speaker 2: of four hundred unaccompanied youth just going at each other
Speaker 2: with fireworks, scaring that crap out of everyone there. And
Speaker 2: you know, let's face it, stating the obvious that could
Speaker 2: have resulted in some serious injuries. Eight thirty five, Right now,

Speaker 2: got the bright Bart Inside Scoop and the Daniel Davis
Speaker 2: Deep Dive tomorrow. Always enjoy talking to those folks, and
Speaker 2: I always enjoy talking to folks helping out the American veteran.
Speaker 2: And I really praised the work that the Cincinnati VA
Speaker 2: has done and improvements they have made over the years
Speaker 2: trying to do their best for the American veteran. We
Speaker 2: hear from Todd Sledge all the time, and today we
Speaker 2: get the benefit of having Christina Hall from the Cincinnti
Speaker 2: VIA at a call to talk with us this morning
Speaker 2: about some programs that are available for caregivers of veterans
Speaker 2: enrolled in VA healthcare. Christina, welcome, to the program. Thanks
Speaker 2: for coming on.
Speaker 22: Hi, thank you very much, nice to be here, and.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the work that you do on behalf of
Speaker 2: the American veterans. Got a lot of them in my
Speaker 2: listening audience, and I do whatever I can to help
Speaker 2: spread the word about the benefits that are out there
Speaker 2: for veterans. I was like to say, this is healthcare
Speaker 2: that you earned. You didn't get paid as much because
Speaker 2: they get the DD two FOURT discharge. You're going to
Speaker 2: get some great healthcare. Tell my listeners about the programs
Speaker 2: you have here for caregivers of veterans.
Speaker 22: Yeah, so we have a very robust program for caregivers.
Speaker 22: We have two programs that fall underneath caregiver support. One
Speaker 22: is our general program that's really the core of the
Speaker 22: backbone of our program. We provide skills training, self care
Speaker 22: and stress management strategies, peer support, coaching, all sorts of
Speaker 22: different social gatherings, and just things to kind of help
Speaker 22: the caregivers have a relief, have a respite, and also
Speaker 22: support their own mental health. And then we also have
Speaker 22: a comprehensive program and in that program, if the veteran qualifies,
Speaker 22: they are able to receive a financial stipend to help
Speaker 22: offset caregiving costs, and they get wellness visits and access
Speaker 22: to enhance rescite services and insurance for their caregiver if
Speaker 22: they're not all ready insured.
Speaker 2: All right, So both programs are designed to help the
Speaker 2: actual caregiver themselves. But the second one sounds like that's
Speaker 2: an opportunity for the twenty four to seven you know,
Speaker 2: family member caregiver to get a relief very much.
Speaker 22: So yeah, and you know, the goal really is to
Speaker 22: try to help keep a vetering in their home as
Speaker 22: long as possible if that's their goal, and so the
Speaker 22: and as the program really helped with that. So rest
Speaker 22: it can look like home health care where someone comes
Speaker 22: in and helps out the caregiver. It can look like
Speaker 22: adult day health where maybe a veteran wants to go
Speaker 22: to a program during the day to get out of
Speaker 22: the house of bit and engage with others. And it
Speaker 22: also can be a short term stay. And maybe our
Speaker 22: contracted nursing home, our nursing home at the VA, say,
Speaker 22: if the caregiver has a surgery or a trip that
Speaker 22: they need to go on and they're not able to
Speaker 22: have you know, full time care for their veteran, they
Speaker 22: may be eligible to access some of those services.
Speaker 2: All right, Now, do you find in terms of the
Speaker 2: general program, and again this is these are programs that
Speaker 2: are offered to the caregivers themselves, as distinct from the
Speaker 2: available services for the veteran. But do you see any
Speaker 2: particular type of a service you offer through the general
Speaker 2: program as being like the most widely used or the
Speaker 2: most popular, or something that you know, people are gravitating
Speaker 2: towards in a larger percentage.
Speaker 22: Yes, And actually it's been interesting because everyone really thinks
Speaker 22: at the VA, you know, Okay, everything is geared towards
Speaker 22: the veterans, so it has been a little difficult to
Speaker 22: get the word out. Yeah, we have services for caregivers
Speaker 22: as well, and so I think some of the ones
Speaker 22: that people really have really taken to. We have a
Speaker 22: program going on with Mustang Journey, which is a program
Speaker 22: out in Goshen, Ohio or yeah, Wilds. Yeah, and so
Speaker 22: we've organized I think we've been there six times so far.
Speaker 22: We've had trips out there where it's just been the caregiver,
Speaker 22: if they'd like a little bit arrested, and then we've
Speaker 22: also set up where they can bring the veteran that
Speaker 22: they care for. Is the veterans well enough to go,
Speaker 22: And that's been awesome.
Speaker 2: That is not even really Yeah, I had the Mustang
Speaker 2: Journey people in my program, all going back a couple
Speaker 2: of months or so. But that what a cool organization.
Speaker 22: Oh they're awesome. Yeah, And Troy Day is a veteran
Speaker 22: himself and so has a passion for working with our folks.
Speaker 22: So that's been wonderful. Some caregivers who haven't participated a
Speaker 22: lot before, when they saw that post, they reached out. So, oh, yeah,
Speaker 22: I'd really love to do that. Yeah, probably has been
Speaker 22: our most popular, but we also have you know, I
Speaker 22: would say a lot of veterans in our program have
Speaker 22: dementia or parkinson or als, and so some of the
Speaker 22: more popular programming pieces are when we offer conditioned specific
Speaker 22: workshops and talks so that the caregiver can feel empowered
Speaker 22: to understand the condition, to know how to work with
Speaker 22: it within their veteran and you know, learn some tips
Speaker 22: and tools and connect with other caregivers that are taking
Speaker 22: care of veterans that have similar issues.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're learning so much more and more about
Speaker 2: how to properly cope with and treat someone who's struggling
Speaker 2: with dementia. It isn't the old days of arguing with
Speaker 2: them about you know, no it's not. No, there isn't
Speaker 2: a burd ness living in your bed. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's you. Really, there's no way to overcome what is
Speaker 2: in their minds. You just kind of have to learn
Speaker 2: to roll with it, which I thought was an unusual
Speaker 2: way of coping with it. But yeah, you're not causing
Speaker 2: them cognitive distress by arguing with them when they have
Speaker 2: this firmly convinced, you know, belief in their mind, as
Speaker 2: crazy as it is. You just got to learn to
Speaker 2: kind of roll with it and you know, walk them
Speaker 2: through the challenge that's presented you. So that that's something
Speaker 2: that I suppose as caregivers need to learn and it
Speaker 2: can be very frustrating, knowing what my father went through,
Speaker 2: which you know, up to his death, and it's just
Speaker 2: it's the most nefarious disease I think that's out there.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad you have a program to help caregivers
Speaker 2: cope with that and the challenges that they face. We're
Speaker 2: going to continue with Christina and we're going to talk
Speaker 2: about some of the common conditions that veterans struggle with.
Speaker 2: Whose caregivers are enrolled with with the program and activities
Speaker 2: and events, as well as some upcoming events that we
Speaker 2: want to talk about. We'll be back right after these
Speaker 2: brief words.

Speaker 2: Here's your Channel nine first warning weather forecast, final look

Speaker 2: know that it's going to be maybe rainy, eeded, some
Speaker 2: torrential downpours. These storms and rains supposed to show up
Speaker 2: after noontime and a very humid day. If I didn't
Speaker 2: mention that eighty seven for the high partly clided with
Speaker 2: a slight chance of rain overy night, seventy the low
Speaker 2: eighty six the high tomorrow again very humid and a
Speaker 2: possible afternoon storm. Partly cloudy overnight again muggy and seventy

Speaker 10: right shoulder before Milford Parkway. Traffics still running slow back
Speaker 10: from State Route thirty two and more slow traffic southbound
Speaker 10: seventy five between the Lachland Split and Town Street. On that,
Speaker 10: he sounds like I'm fifty five KRCD talk station.
Speaker 2: Hey forty eight if thinking about KRCD talk station Bright
Speaker 2: Thomas with Christina Hall from the Cincinnativa talking about the
Speaker 2: programs that they have at the VIA for those who
Speaker 2: are caregivers for veterans. So moving away from veteran healthcare,
Speaker 2: we need to take care of those who are providing
Speaker 2: in home care for our veterans. And you mentioned like,
Speaker 2: for example, how to cope with and deal with veterans
Speaker 2: are struggling with Alzheimer's. But what are the some of
Speaker 2: the more common conditions that veterans have whose caregivers are
Speaker 2: enrolled in your various programs.
Speaker 22: I would say a lot of other veterans are struggling
Speaker 22: with Parkinson's. We've seen an uptick in those conditions. Als,
Speaker 22: traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorders, final cord injury,
Speaker 22: vision impairment, multiple sclerosis. So a number of conditions that
Speaker 22: really pop up that those are some of the more
Speaker 22: common and the caregiver doesn't necessarily have to be a
Speaker 22: lot of times you think of the spouse as a caregiver,
Speaker 22: but we have caregivers in the program who are children,
Speaker 22: as veterrends who are siblings, some in our general program
Speaker 22: who are neighbors, are people that kind of help out
Speaker 22: the veterrend and take them to appointments and things like that.
Speaker 22: So there's a broad definition of caregiver. It's really someone
Speaker 22: who's involved in that veteran's life and helping them be
Speaker 22: able to live independently.
Speaker 2: And God bless each and every one of you if
Speaker 2: you're in that role, it's just it's a it's a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing you're doing for the for the veteran's That
Speaker 2: sounds to me like maybe some of the training might
Speaker 2: involve physical therapy.
Speaker 22: Yeah, we work a lot with physical therapy. We also
Speaker 22: have a program that is called Safe Patient Handling and Mobility,
Speaker 22: so they work with the caregivers to teach them, you know,
Speaker 22: the veteran falls. What are the steps is something that
Speaker 22: you can handle if you're a very tiny spouse, you know,
Speaker 22: trying to lift a larger veteran, you may need to
Speaker 22: call nine one one as opposed to try to lift.
Speaker 22: But then they also talk about different devices and supports
Speaker 22: that can help, and then occupational therapy pops in to
Speaker 22: see if there's any adaptive devices or ramps, or there's
Speaker 22: grants to apply for to get improvements made to your home.
Speaker 22: So we coordinate with those programs as.
Speaker 2: Well well, smoothing out all the challenges folks face.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: But in terms of what kind of activities or events
Speaker 2: does the Caregivers Support Program offer.
Speaker 22: Yeah, so we do. Social support is a piece of it.
Speaker 22: So we just had a Caregiver summit. We coordinated with
Speaker 22: the DAV a couple of weeks ago and had a
Speaker 22: big event and we talked about the importance of connection
Speaker 22: and making sure that caregivers are connected to other people
Speaker 22: because it can be kind of isolating if your identity
Speaker 22: is that of a caregiver and your focus is just
Speaker 22: taking care of someone else, you can lose track of
Speaker 22: taking care of you. So lots of work around that.
Speaker 22: We have social hours at least once a month where
Speaker 22: folks can come and connect with other caregivers. We also
Speaker 22: have a lot of online support so if you can't
Speaker 22: leave the home. Say you don't have care for your veteran,
Speaker 22: but you really want to connect, you can join virtually
Speaker 22: or over the telephone. We have a support group every
Speaker 22: other week. We have different workshops and classes. We have
Speaker 22: an online workshop coming up at the end of July
Speaker 22: that talks about the foundations of caregiving as well as
Speaker 22: self care and stress management. And the big event that
Speaker 22: we're working towards is in November. November is actually National
Speaker 22: Family Caregiver Months, so nationally we support caregivers throughout that month.
Speaker 22: So we're going to be having all sorts of events,
Speaker 22: like a self care fare where folks can come in
Speaker 22: and learn about aromatherapy and yoga and taichi and all
Speaker 22: that good stuff that can help them relieve their stress
Speaker 22: when they have.
Speaker 5: A few moments.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm glad to provide the social support and these
Speaker 2: other outlets for the stress that they obviously face. I
Speaker 2: think it's unless you've lived through it and seen it,
Speaker 2: it's a stress that I think most people just don't
Speaker 2: fully appreciate. It's like, oh, well, they're taking care of
Speaker 2: a love one big deal, but now there's a whole
Speaker 2: lot more that goes on beyond that, so the July workshop,
Speaker 2: the November events, where can my listening audience get the
Speaker 2: information to hook up with these various programs.
Speaker 22: We have a local hotline that they can call. You
Speaker 22: can inquire about any questions you have if you're eligible,
Speaker 22: and that's five one three four seven five six three
Speaker 22: six six. And we also have a caregiver a national
Speaker 22: caregiver website that's wonderful and it does have links to
Speaker 22: our local and that's just www dotcaregiver dot.
Speaker 17: Va dot gov.
Speaker 2: Caregiver dot va gov. All right, and again the number
Speaker 2: five one three four seven, five sixty three sixty six
Speaker 2: or caregiver dot va dot gov. So get in touch
Speaker 2: with that, take advantage of these wonderful opportunities. Make you
Speaker 2: feel better personally. Obviously, learn skill sets to help you
Speaker 2: deal with the veteran you're caring for. Christine, I can't
Speaker 2: thank you enough for doing what you're doing at the
Speaker 2: Cincinntiva and for taking care of my veterans as well
Speaker 2: as the caregivers are helping out the veterans each and
Speaker 2: every day. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 22: Absolutely my pleasure.
Speaker 2: Well, you take care and I'm always here for you
Speaker 2: if you want to let people know more about this information,
Speaker 2: but check out the July workshop and the November workshop.
Speaker 2: Get involved and improve the care you're providing, but also
Speaker 2: improve yourself at the same time. That's what the Cincinniva
Speaker 2: is all about. And veterans take advantage you earn the benefits.
Speaker 2: I recommend enrolling. We hear from our various Cincinnati Veterans
Speaker 2: Service offices on this program all the time. Claremont County
Speaker 2: Veterans Service Commission, Hamilton County Veteran Service Commiss Warren County.
Speaker 2: Every county's got one and they are great about helping
Speaker 2: you secure the benefits that you've earned as a consequence
Speaker 2: of your service. So D two to fourteen discharge pretty
Speaker 2: much the only hurdle you've got and some paperwork. So
Speaker 2: if you can't figure it out, it's since any dot VA,
