Speaker 1: As a boy from Peoria, Illinois, started singing about California
Speaker 1: girls when he joined the Beach Boys as a replacement
Speaker 1: for at least on the road of the late Brian Wilson,
Speaker 1: Benjamin Baldwin. Bruce Johnston, Happy eighty third birthday today. As
Speaker 1: you sing about our family, will.
Speaker 2: East Coast girls are him by?
Speaker 1: Really did those.
Speaker 2: Styles they wear? And the Southern girls with the.
Speaker 1: Way talking, they not be out when I'm the elder.
Speaker 3: The men west farms todters.
Speaker 4: Really make you feel alright.
Speaker 5: And the Northern girls with the wags thinking their form, I.
Speaker 2: Wish they are.
Speaker 1: On the vocals, on the bass, on the keyboards. Brian
Speaker 1: Johnston's definitely maybe a latter day beach boy, but woven
Speaker 1: into the fabric of that summer sound for sixty years
Speaker 1: now and he turns eighty three. Also wrote, I write
Speaker 1: the songs for Barry Manelow. That always mystified me when
Speaker 1: I found that out, because I thought for years Barry Manila,
Speaker 1: who wrote a lot of songs and jingles, wrote I
Speaker 1: write the songs he sang it had to hit with it.
Speaker 1: But Barry Manila didn't write I write the songs. Bruce
Speaker 1: Johnston did little side note for you. It is June
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh, twenty twenty five, and there's lots to
Speaker 1: get to and we shall in good due time. My friends,
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff Walker, we're in for Brian Thomas on this Friday.
Speaker 1: Before we look in, I like to look back at
Speaker 1: significant events and people tied to this particular date in
Speaker 1: history June twenty seventh, including but not limited to these,
Speaker 1: So we shall eighteen forty four Mormon leader Joseph Smith
Speaker 1: and his brother Hyrum killed by a man in Carthage, Illinois.
Speaker 1: Mormon martyrs on their westward track this date. In nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty the UN Security Council, and how feckless and toothless
Speaker 1: are they anyway, passed a resolution calling on member nations
Speaker 1: helped South Korea repel an invasion from the North that
Speaker 1: got us into one of those unending, untenable wars that
Speaker 1: people are so afraid of now because of past performance
Speaker 1: and past experiences. On June twenty seventh, nineteen fifty seven,
Speaker 1: Hurricane Audrey slammed into Louisiana and Texas a Category four,
Speaker 1: causing as many as six hundred deaths. The Supreme Court
Speaker 1: on this date just thirty four years ago. Welcome Thurgood Marshall.
Speaker 1: Actually he was on his way out. He announced his retirement,
Speaker 1: the first black justice on the highest court in the land.
Speaker 1: And it was on this date twenty years ago the
Speaker 1: BTK serial killer Dennis Rader pled guilty to ten murders
Speaker 1: that had spread fears across Wichita, Kansas, starting back in
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. This was a guy who was a
Speaker 1: church elder, seemingly mild mannered family guy, and find out
Speaker 1: he was an absolute monster. A constitutional amendment to ban
Speaker 1: desecration of the American flag died in a US Senate
Speaker 1: Cliff Hangar just nineteen years ago. They are resurrecting these,
Speaker 1: these legislations that could make the burning or the desecration
Speaker 1: of our American flag a crime. It fell just one
Speaker 1: short of the sixty seven needed to send it for
Speaker 1: states to ratification, to be ensconced, enshrined in our constitution.
Speaker 1: It didn't happen. This was the year, well, twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: the year this date, a former Illinois Governor Rod Blagoyevitch
Speaker 1: convicted by a federal jury in Chicago corruption charges, allegations
Speaker 1: that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's
Speaker 1: US Senate seat, Lavoy Blagoyevitch eventually pardoned, of course, by
Speaker 1: now President Trump. Let's see birthday folks. Besides Bruce Johnston
Speaker 1: of The Beach Boys, Vera Wang, Isn't that a wonderful name?

Speaker 1: it with me? Actress Julia Duffy has a birthday today.

Speaker 1: country singer, still going strong, still a member of the
Speaker 1: grand Ole Opry and the like. JJ Abrams, the writer, producer, director,
Speaker 1: has a fifty ninth birthday today. Toby McGuire is fifty.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Chloe Kardashian is forty one. There are certain
Speaker 1: parts of her body that are much younger, or at
Speaker 1: least look that way. NFL linebacker Bobby Wagner has a
Speaker 1: birthday thirty five today. Everybody Loves Raymond star Madeline Sweeten
Speaker 1: is thirty four. Songwriter her h e er period period
Speaker 1: period is twenty eight, and Chandler Riggs, who plays on

Speaker 1: possible and you get to spend it with family and friends,
Speaker 1: doing the things you love to do with the ones
Speaker 1: you love, and that is truly my wish for you.
Speaker 1: At five eleven on this morning show, it's a full
Speaker 1: vote pretty much. Dave Hatter will be with us at
Speaker 1: six point thirty. At seven just past seven seven oh five,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati mayoral candidate Corey Bowman is back for a visit
Speaker 1: and ask him what he thinks about the fact that
Speaker 1: violent crime is actually down in Cincinnati, well with the
Speaker 1: exception of the last month, well with the exception of
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, well with the exception of
Speaker 1: the fact that seemingly the current administration and the current
Speaker 1: police chief can't find their way out even though the
Speaker 1: bag is wet and they have both hands. We have
Speaker 1: a numerous guests this morning. Joe isn't Dan Hills gonna
Speaker 1: join us as well. Of course, just yesterday was the
Speaker 1: tenth anniversary of the murder of Sonny Kim, the ambush
Speaker 1: murder of a Cincinnati police officer, and we mark that
Speaker 1: grim anniversary knowing that the threats are still out there
Speaker 1: every day for the men and women who wear the
Speaker 1: uniform to protect and to serve the public, to catch
Speaker 1: the criminals, and hopefully have the criminal justice system give
Speaker 1: us justice when they do catch the criminals, many times
Speaker 1: in the act of their crimes. At eight oh five,
Speaker 1: historian Richard Lyons on President Trump's ten years since he
Speaker 1: came on to the national scene in a political fashion.
Speaker 1: He came down the escalator back in twenty fifteen and
Speaker 1: announced that he was running for president the first time,
Speaker 1: and now in the midst of his second term, with
Speaker 1: some pretty impressive and successful moments to mark in this
Speaker 1: second term, especially lately. So that'll be an interesting conversation
Speaker 1: with Richard Lyons, at least I'll pretend it's interesting, and
Speaker 1: hopefully it will be for you. You. And then at eight
Speaker 1: thirty five or eight thirty rather, we have JT. Young,
Speaker 1: who's a brilliant guy. He writes for The Hill and
Speaker 1: The Federalist and the American Spectator, and his thoughts on
Speaker 1: what exactly is the Democrats problem. They are varied and
Speaker 1: many in my opinion, And this thing that's happened in
Speaker 1: New York City where basically a communist has won the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party's nomination speaks volumes about where the Democrat Party is,
Speaker 1: but I'll get JT's thoughts on that as well, and
Speaker 1: you're always welcome to chime in, Joel, unbusy the lines
Speaker 1: and unburdened us from what has been and let you
Speaker 1: chime into on any topic that we tackle or anything
Speaker 1: that you want. The floor is open for your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Fifty five hundred. It's great to be with you again.
Speaker 1: I love I've realistic chance to fill in for Brian.
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite fill in shows that
Speaker 1: I have the opportunity to do from time to time.
Speaker 1: And it's great to be with you once again. Gary, Jeff.
Speaker 1: It's five point fifteen at fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1: This just in Iran his being Bump love it. The
Speaker 1: heat advisory will end tonight. Tomorrow's heat index will be
Speaker 1: near one hundred. It's been just not one hundred and five.
Speaker 1: Lord and Mercy, it's five nineteen on this Friday morning,
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh. Well, uh, the animal in the room
Speaker 1: is a Cincinnati Bengal. The animal in the county and
Speaker 1: the Bengals in the County, of course, reached the new
Speaker 1: lease steal to keep the team at pay Court stadium
Speaker 1: another eleven years and starting this season, so the Bengals
Speaker 1: are safe. They're not going anywhere Cincinnati. I know you
Speaker 1: were all on pins and needles, and I gotta be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I love football from September to February.
Speaker 1: I am all in unprofessional football. The NFL, of course,
Speaker 1: keeps the wheels moving all year long. The publicity machine
Speaker 1: that never sleeps belongs to the National Football League, so
Speaker 1: they're always in front of the public. I really I
Speaker 1: tune out when they're not playing meaningful games, the first
Speaker 1: actual game, not the fake football that they're still engaging
Speaker 1: in because it's a money grab by teams like the
Speaker 1: Bengals to play fake football games. I either don't count
Speaker 1: in the standings, but the second they tee it up
Speaker 1: for real, usually the first week in September, right after
Speaker 1: Labor Day, and I'm in every week. And you know,
Speaker 1: and I don't gamble. I'm not a fan dual guy
Speaker 1: like most people.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm not betting wild parlays hoping to hit that one
Speaker 1: that one time and become amazingly rich for my football
Speaker 1: betting acumen. No, don't do that. I love the game.
Speaker 1: I love to watch the game, and it's a made
Speaker 1: for TV sport. If any other sport, Baseball, I think
Speaker 1: is a sport where you really have to be at
Speaker 1: the park to fully enjoy baseball. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: listen to it on the radio. We have great broadcasts
Speaker 1: here in town for that. You can watch it on television,
Speaker 1: as I often do, but baseball is best observed in person.
Speaker 1: Football isn't made for TV sport. That's where all the
Speaker 1: money comes from. So you won't catch me at Paul
Speaker 1: Brown Stadium in October, even before it's cold to enjoy
Speaker 1: a Bengals game. Not because I wouldn't enjoy the game,
Speaker 1: but it's just much better. I have a much better
Speaker 1: seat at home that nobody has to subsidize except for
Speaker 1: me paying the TV bill. But I love football. But
Speaker 1: if there were no Bengals, what would your life be
Speaker 1: like as a Cincinnatian? Think about it. You don't have to,
Speaker 1: you don't have to imagine it right now, But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying in this, in this most dire of all circumstances,
Speaker 1: the Bengals moved out of Cincinnati like was threatened, which
Speaker 1: sparked the first awful stadium deal in Cincinnati with the
Speaker 1: County in nineteen ninety seven, what would your life be
Speaker 1: like without the Bengals. I want you to reflect and
Speaker 1: think about that and let me know if your life
Speaker 1: would be lesser Because there's plenty of pro football to
Speaker 1: go around. I mean, it's ubiquitous in the fall. I
Speaker 1: mean there's there's at least five six games on every
Speaker 1: weekend on national TV. You could still enjoy football if
Speaker 1: the Bengals weren't here, But what would your life? Think
Speaker 1: about this? And let me know at five poet three
Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five hundred. Again, it's not a
Speaker 1: reality you're going to have to deal with obviously for
Speaker 1: another decade. But would it really be a lesser life
Speaker 1: if there were no Bengals, if there were no stadium
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati that you're helping pay for. If you're a
Speaker 1: county taxpayer and they talk about this deal being much
Speaker 1: better for the taxpayer, what was Connie Pillage's quote yesterday?
Speaker 1: Have reached a new lease agreement that delivers a win
Speaker 1: for taxpayers in our community. What's the win the fact
Speaker 1: that they're staying in city and what does that really
Speaker 1: mean to you? It's once a week for seventeen weeks,
Speaker 1: sixteen weeks and what's a win for taxpayers. Oh, you're
Speaker 1: not getting soaked the way you got soaked in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven, and the first deal for the stadium. As
Speaker 1: much as I love football, my question is is it
Speaker 1: really worth all that to you? I would love to know.
Speaker 1: And I don't even have my call screen up, Joe,
Speaker 1: so if somebody does, it looks like there's somebody on
Speaker 1: the line who wanted to remark on that particular topic.
Speaker 1: This is again, the question is being asked by me,
Speaker 1: and it's coming from someone who really enjoys the NFL
Speaker 1: during the regular season. But what does it really mean
Speaker 1: to you? That's the question. Five twenty five at fifty
Speaker 1: five krs the talk station.
Speaker 2: Democrats are on a crazy train going so fast it's
Speaker 2: time to get off the welcome motive. Democrats don't want
Speaker 2: anyone to speak out against men and women's sports.
Speaker 1: Judges who are just anti Trump railroad at the president.
Speaker 1: If I feel like things are going off the rail, I'll.
Speaker 2: Tell you all aboud to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
Speaker 2: Express are arriving today at noon fifty five RCD Talk
Speaker 2: Station Nashville's Hottest vent.
Speaker 1: It is five twenty eight and some change. Gary Jeffin
Speaker 1: for Brian and a couple folks wanting to talk on
Speaker 1: the topic Dazure in this half hour, which is the
Speaker 1: Bengals in the county reaching a new lease deal to
Speaker 1: keep the team at pay Corps Stadium. What would happen?
Speaker 1: How would your life be affected if there were no
Speaker 1: Bengals in Cincinnati anymore? Tom good morning, Thank good morning.
Speaker 6: Their weather forecast. Does that mean I gotta wear my
Speaker 6: zip up hoody tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You better, you better up on Saturday. The heat
Speaker 1: advisory is over tonight, but tomorrow it's only going to
Speaker 1: be up to one hundred so yes, yeah, So.
Speaker 6: I mean I'm where I'm working right now, working in
Speaker 6: the ac So as long as i'm inside, I'm pretty
Speaker 6: much fine.
Speaker 1: I'm there at the end of the day.
Speaker 6: End of the day. Yesterday, me and the guy I'm
Speaker 6: working with, we we go outside. We had to move
Speaker 6: a ladder. It took him about five minutes or so,
Speaker 6: and then walked to the car. And by the time
Speaker 6: I got to the car, I was swating, like this
Speaker 6: is ridiculous. It's too hot and I'm only parked across
Speaker 6: the street. So anyway, enough whining about the weather. This,
Speaker 6: this whole stadium deal is just another in a long
Speaker 6: line of many I think wrong ideas of how government subsidizes,
Speaker 6: even if it's just a percentage, subsidizes private business. I mean,
Speaker 6: you're talking about a business that is pretty much a
Speaker 6: prame press money, the NFL, and what do they need
Speaker 6: tax dollars for? Really? I mean, these people are multi
Speaker 6: billionaires that own it, and the and and the kids
Speaker 6: that play are are they're just millionaires. But they need
Speaker 6: our money to keep us to have a place to play,
Speaker 6: I mean seriously, And so I don't know if you're
Speaker 6: ever gonna do anything about it, uh and change it.
Speaker 6: Uh maybe you can, that'd be great. But in the meantime,
Speaker 6: something that would help stomach it a little bit is
Speaker 6: if maybe each taxpayer Tom ticket or once a year,
Speaker 6: or you know, maybe a family of four four pact tickets.
Speaker 6: There's something to each house per year, something like like
Speaker 6: the zoo. Why can't each member of the the county,
Speaker 6: I mean county pays for this, helps pay for the
Speaker 6: due or my taxes go to the zoo. Why can't
Speaker 6: I get one free entry a year or something like that,
Speaker 6: at least to say Hey, we we know you have
Speaker 6: no choice in there. It's not up to you. We're
Speaker 6: just signing this stuff and taking money out of your pocket.
Speaker 6: But here you go here a little something at least
Speaker 6: that would be nice though. And by the way, people
Speaker 6: don't vote Democrat. I have a great week, Dad.
Speaker 1: All right, Tom, thank you very much, Diane, your thoughts.
Speaker 7: Diane, Oh, hello, Gary, Jeff Hi.
Speaker 8: I think we wouldn't be any worse all if we
Speaker 8: didn't have the Bengals here.
Speaker 9: Why can't the Browns pay for their own situation?
Speaker 7: It's crazy? How how many billions are they worth?
Speaker 1: Listen. I am absolutely in lockstep with you and Tom
Speaker 1: before you, Diane on this. I don't understand why I
Speaker 1: thought we lived in a free enterprise society where if
Speaker 1: you want to do something, you have the freedom of
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do it, but you don't rely on
Speaker 1: public money to pursue your dreams. I mean, it is
Speaker 1: the most anti capitalist kind of situation in the world.
Speaker 1: We complain all the time about communism and socialism and
Speaker 1: how evil it is and how it brings a society down,
Speaker 1: and yet and the same time, on the other side
Speaker 1: of our mouth, we're saying, oh, This is perfectly fine
Speaker 1: for us to subsidize millionaires and billionaires with free places
Speaker 1: to pursue their dreams and make their money on the
Speaker 1: public dole. It doesn't wash with a and it shows,
Speaker 1: It shows, it shows through, it shows through crony capitalism.
Speaker 1: How really socialist our nation has become?
Speaker 8: That's true, But Jerry, why is anyone more three hundred
Speaker 8: seventy five million dollars a throught football?
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people enjoy football. A lot of
Speaker 1: people enjoy a lot lot of people enjoy football. And
Speaker 1: would I enjoy it?
Speaker 7: I enjoy watching it?
Speaker 1: Bench and complain if we didn't have a professional football
Speaker 1: team like we have since nineteen sixty seven, not then pay?
Speaker 10: Then?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know. I mean, if it's voluntarily coming out
Speaker 1: of my pocket as a taxpayer, that's one thing. But
Speaker 1: if they're doing it through coercion, through the point of
Speaker 1: a government gun and saying no, you're helping pay for
Speaker 1: the stadium for the Brown family, Yeah, it just doesn't
Speaker 1: wash for a lot of us. But again, if we
Speaker 1: live in a free society, we're free enterprise and entrepreneurship
Speaker 1: and capitalism. Why are we subsidizing projects people can make money?
Speaker 1: Why are we subject not just the Bengals Stadium, but
Speaker 1: anything any business? Why do we give tax abatements here
Speaker 1: and there to certain people so they can build this
Speaker 1: or that. I mean, it's going on right now full
Speaker 1: scale in the city of Newport, Kentucky, with ovation and
Speaker 1: corporate X and they are abandoning small businesses on Mama
Speaker 1: Street and elsewhere to focus on big corporate entities who
Speaker 1: are getting huge, huge tax breaks that the rest of
Speaker 1: the population isn't privy to. It goes on all the
Speaker 1: time everywhere. It went on in Cincinnati with the banks,
Speaker 1: and now it's going on again with the Bengals Stadium.
Speaker 1: It's seemingly unending where the haves keep getting more than
Speaker 1: their share of the public dole and the have nots
Speaker 1: continue to pay for it. And in this republic the
Speaker 1: way it was envisioned, that seems antithetical to what this
Speaker 1: country's supposed to be about. So you know, in that way,
Speaker 1: is the subsidiation of the Bengals Stadium continuing for another
Speaker 1: eleven years? Is it really anti American? If you balance
Speaker 1: that with the with what we were all taught this
Speaker 1: republic was supposed to be about. I don't know, five
Speaker 1: point thirty six. It's fifty five KRC the talk station
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC dot Com.
Speaker 9: I'm doctor Damon Tanton.
Speaker 1: Howdy, Good morning TGIF Gary Jeff been for Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: on this Friday, June twenty seven, twenty minutes until the
Speaker 1: top of the hour, and just this discussion of Tom
Speaker 1: talking about moving a ladder yesterday and being out of
Speaker 1: the truck for two minutes and walking around with a
Speaker 1: puddle of sweat underneath him. The same people that complain
Speaker 1: about how hot it is right now are the ones
Speaker 1: who in February will be complaining about how cold it is.
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do about the weather, but I
Speaker 1: guess some complain about it if it makes you feel
Speaker 1: better to complain. I like it hot, some like it hot,
Speaker 1: and some sweat when the heat is on. I remember that.
Speaker 1: But I actually love this time of year because I
Speaker 1: can't stand the cold. But I don't bitch on both
Speaker 1: sides of the coin. I'm always cold, too cold around
Speaker 1: here in January February unless we get one of those
Speaker 1: every once in a while rare warm spells during our
Speaker 1: four months of gray in this area of the country.
Speaker 1: But long I look forward to this. My wife, on
Speaker 1: the other hand, and I think women have a tougher
Speaker 1: time than real men with hot weather. But my wife
Speaker 1: just wants to sit inside in the air conditioning. You
Speaker 1: may be that person too, and that's fine. But I
Speaker 1: want to get outside the sunshining. It's warm, it's hot,
Speaker 1: I'm sweating. It's good. I'm releasing the toxins that are
Speaker 1: built up over the last few months sitting inside in
Speaker 1: my cave. I mean, I just I don't think that
Speaker 1: it's good for people just to sit inside in their cave.
Speaker 1: It is historically correct a fact that more people die
Speaker 1: from the cold than the heat. And yet you'll hear
Speaker 1: people this time of year, especially during a spell like
Speaker 1: this where we've got heat index or indices, let's be correct,
Speaker 1: heat in disease above one hundred. You will hear them say,
Speaker 1: I felt like I was gonna die. I'm melting. This
Speaker 1: is incredibly hot. Grab yourself a big glass something with
Speaker 1: ice in it, hopefully some healthy and refreshing, stay hydrated,
Speaker 1: but enjoy this because historically, throughout the history of man,
Speaker 1: hot weather doesn't kill people. Cold weather kills people. But
Speaker 1: I think you'll find it's true, and you may be
Speaker 1: one of these people complaining about the hot spell we're
Speaker 1: going through right now and how terrible it is. The
Speaker 1: Only thing I don't like about it are the damn
Speaker 1: electric bills from running the air conditioner all the time.
Speaker 1: But no, I mean, if you're one of those people
Speaker 1: who are find yourself complaining about the heat right now,
Speaker 1: you will look back and reflect and say, oh, I
Speaker 1: do the same thing when it's ten degrees outside. It's
Speaker 1: too cold human nature. Perhaps I'm just saying I like it.
Speaker 1: I want more of it now. I'm not gonna like
Speaker 1: turn my AC off when I'm inside my house. I'm
Speaker 1: going to enjoy that, mind you, But I want to
Speaker 1: get outside. My wife just sits there like a bump
Speaker 1: on the couch. I don't want to go outside. It's
Speaker 1: too hot. Sit there and veg out in front of
Speaker 1: the television in the air conditioned comfort. Her prerogative, and
Speaker 1: you know, I guess we share expenses, so she's helping
Speaker 1: pay the electric bill. But uh, there you go. Food
Speaker 1: for thought. Don't eat too much.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: Give me more, Give me more, and I will be
Speaker 1: outside enjoying it. Five point forty five, Good morning, fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC. The Talk station. In this edition of the
Speaker 1: Marketers Report, we're starting out mostly clear and muggy this morning,
Speaker 1: on our way to a high of ninety two. The
Speaker 1: clouds will become more prominent as we roll through the day.
Speaker 1: There is a chance for pomp up afternoon and evening
Speaker 1: storms as well, and still really hot high in this
Speaker 1: afternoon ninety two. I love it heat index around one
Speaker 1: hundred to one hundred and two. The heat advisory is
Speaker 1: set to end tonight at eight pm, and as Tom
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the hour, you might need that pullover
Speaker 1: hoodie tomorrow because we're only going to get up to
Speaker 1: eighty eight with a heat index in the nineties Sunday,
Speaker 1: Partly cloudy, storm chances mostly likely later in the day
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and a high once again in the upper eighties.
Speaker 1: A muggy weekend. They had no doubt seventy two degrees
Speaker 1: right now, and then check on the roads.
Speaker 11: Here's Heather from the U SEE Health Traffic Center. At
Speaker 11: you See Health, you'll find conferences of care that's so
Speaker 11: personal it makes your best tomorrow possible. That's boundless care
Speaker 11: for better outcomes. Expect more. At ucehealth dot com. Traffic
Speaker 11: is still on the later side this morning. Traveling northbound
Speaker 11: seventy five, it's under ten minutes out earlier to the
Speaker 11: Brent Spence Bridge. Also, southbound seventy one is under fifteen
Speaker 11: minutes from Blue Ash into town. I'm Heather Pasco on
Speaker 11: fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 1: People advising you all the time, and I would echo
Speaker 1: this not to vote Democrat, but of course in New
Speaker 1: York City it's another subject entirely where it's all Democrat
Speaker 1: all the time. And in their primary on Tuesday, as
Speaker 1: you know, for the next mayor of New York City,
Speaker 1: for the Democrat nomination, it was a former governor, Andrew Cuomo,
Speaker 1: who left under a cloud of a sex scandal, resigned
Speaker 1: the governorship and decided it'd be a good idea. The
Speaker 1: same guy, of course, who killed thousands of grandparents by
Speaker 1: shoving them into into nursing homes that were COVID beehives
Speaker 1: back during the scamdemic in twenty one. That guy. So
Speaker 1: they were putting him up against an avowed socialist, I
Speaker 1: say communist who has zero experience of doing anything except
Speaker 1: promising people things on TikTok, like government owned grocery stores,
Speaker 1: free transcare on the taxpayer dime and free transportation, free this,
Speaker 1: free that, free everything, and of course, as we know,
Speaker 1: nothing is free, somebody's got to pay for it. And
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of citizens of New York City
Speaker 1: who are making the b line out of the Big Apple,
Speaker 1: or at least contemplating it now because they really really
Speaker 1: don't want to get soaked for all the promises this
Speaker 1: moron is making. Who won the Democrat primary on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Mandani Zavon Mondani born in Uganda, over educated, indoctrinated in
Speaker 1: the Ivy League. I believe he went to Harvard, one
Speaker 1: of the Ivy League schools, and of course is a
Speaker 1: wash with communist and socialists and Marxist and now he
Speaker 1: wants to be the next mayor of New York City
Speaker 1: and very well could win that election in November, which
Speaker 1: shocked a lot of people, but it shows you exactly.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good thing. Very well polished campaign.
Speaker 1: The man run and he's very shiny. He's very slick
Speaker 1: in that way, very much like af tab Pirval, the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati mayor. Very very well polished. What is it saying
Speaker 1: you can polish a turd and it still is that aside,
Speaker 1: I say it's a good thing because the Democrats are
Speaker 1: showing you exactly who they are. They're not pretending anymore
Speaker 1: as a party to believe in the American dream. They're
Speaker 1: not pretending anymore that they're actually for representative democracy. They're
Speaker 1: showing their hand, and you finally have a clear choice
Speaker 1: at the polls. And again, this is not Democrat bad,
Speaker 1: Republican good. This is communism, Marxism bad, freedom good, because
Speaker 1: the two parties have finally really really separated themselves and
Speaker 1: showing us who they are. They're not hiding it anymore.
Speaker 1: They used to hide it. They used to pretend that
Speaker 1: they're all about democracy, they used to pretend that they're
Speaker 1: all about American ideals. And the Democrats aren't pretending anymore.
Speaker 1: So the voter has a clear choice.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 1: The Democrats had a choice. And since they're kind of
Speaker 1: leaderless and rudderless right now, this is where they've moved
Speaker 1: to the all out communist Marxist socialist. Vent've been headed
Speaker 1: that way for years, but they finally have defined themselves
Speaker 1: that way. When Donald Trump won the presidential election for
Speaker 1: a second time in twenty four and the Maga movement
Speaker 1: put him and the Republicans over the top in a
Speaker 1: leadership position in our federal government. When that When that occurred,
Speaker 1: the Democrats had the choice of either being mag Alite
Speaker 1: in other words, yeah, they're they're doing the right things,
Speaker 1: they're just doing them the wrong way. Let us let
Speaker 1: us show you how to do these things that are
Speaker 1: good for the most of the majority of the American people,
Speaker 1: or they had a choice to go full on COMMI,
Speaker 1: which they have done. So the lines are clearly defined now.
Speaker 1: And there may be quote unquote moderate Democrats out there
Speaker 1: like John Fetterman, and I would suggest to them there
Speaker 1: is room for them either in independent parties or in
Speaker 1: the Republican Party, because otherwise, with your continued affiliation with
Speaker 1: the Democrats, you're just admitting that you're in favor of
Speaker 1: communism and Marxism and minority rule over what the majority
Speaker 1: of the country wants. Because majority of the country does
Speaker 1: not want taxpayer dollars going to transgender care or transgender medicaid.
Speaker 1: The majority of the country does not want government run
Speaker 1: grocery stores. The majority of the country does not want
Speaker 1: to subsidize bus service for criminals. In any large metropolitan area.
Speaker 1: Maybe New York City has showed their hand with the
Speaker 1: this guy's win in the primary, Mondani's win in the primary,
Speaker 1: maybe New York City has gone full on Marxist. Now
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe that eight million people want that,
Speaker 1: because I truly believe they don't. And in every situation
Speaker 1: where there is communism, socialism, Marxism, ten percent of the
Speaker 1: people control. The other ninety percent has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with democracy or fairness or equality. It's just totalitarian control,
Speaker 1: and that's what they're after. Into story Another hour ahead
Speaker 1: on this Friday morning, Gary Jeff and for Brian on
Speaker 1: fifty five KRS the talk station.
Speaker 2: Big things are happening, breaking news happening. Now, we'll tell
Speaker 2: you more at the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: It's too aggressive and over the top.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1: It's not by Ralph's America Forever.
Speaker 10: Not.
Speaker 1: Why the very first song is that barely man Enough?
Speaker 1: I believe it is. He writes the songs, which actually
Speaker 1: this song was written by Bruce Johnston, not Barry Manilow.
Speaker 1: But we had to play Barry Manilowe because he had
Speaker 1: to hit with it number one and number two because
Speaker 1: it's West Side Jim's favorite artist. Right after my version
Speaker 1: of Cher in drag. Good morning was side.
Speaker 8: Jim, Hello, Garry, Jeff, My god, Joseph, that made my morning.
Speaker 8: I have tears rolling down my cheeks.
Speaker 1: My it's hot. It's two damn hot cheeks. You're one
Speaker 1: of those, aren't you. No, I do like the great American.
Speaker 1: I mean the guy.
Speaker 8: He probably is some of Europeans because we didn't have
Speaker 8: any Caorea Americans back now, I guess.
Speaker 1: But Willis Carrier.
Speaker 8: I want to thank him because without him we wouldn't
Speaker 8: have air conditioning.
Speaker 1: So Willis's Carrier, I love you, baby. It is a
Speaker 1: good guy. It is my turn to sound like the
Speaker 1: old man that I'm becoming slowly. Not as old as you,
Speaker 1: not as old as you, but get off my breast
Speaker 1: older when I say, I remember being a kid living
Speaker 1: in a house that was built in eighteen eighties in
Speaker 1: the middle of summer in Illinois, when it was humid
Speaker 1: as it is here, and it was ninety five one
Speaker 1: hundred degrees and we did not have air conditioning, and
Speaker 1: we were just fine, just fine.
Speaker 7: Well, we had a fan when I was grown.
Speaker 1: We had a fan, yes, a box fan in the
Speaker 1: window maybe, And and the houses were built differently, so
Speaker 1: there was good airflow when it was as hot as
Speaker 1: it is now. But we didn't have any ac we
Speaker 1: weren't conditioned. We were just we were just sucking it
Speaker 1: up and we were enjoying the heat.
Speaker 8: Jim, Well, I'd walk to school back and forth twenty
Speaker 8: miles every day.
Speaker 1: It was only it was only a few blocks. It
Speaker 1: was only a few blocks for me.
Speaker 8: So anyway, And I want to thank the Bengals because
Speaker 8: the three year deal to days or three year the
Speaker 8: three decade deal that they just put through. I will
Speaker 8: be long gone before I have to listen to Aleisia
Speaker 8: Reese again talk about taxpayers and how how they got
Speaker 8: screwed on this deal, how they get screwed every time
Speaker 8: you turn around, because she'll still be in that office
Speaker 8: and she'll still be talk in the fact that the
Speaker 8: taxpayers are getting screwed, the taxpayers are getting screwed.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's it's easy. It's easy to point
Speaker 1: out the fact that taxpayers are getting screwed when you're
Speaker 1: one of the ones that are doing the screwing exactly,
Speaker 1: but just in a different place and not at pay
Speaker 1: Court Stadium maybe.
Speaker 8: And what does she do as soon as the Bengals
Speaker 8: went to the playoffs. She went down the cook Sporting
Speaker 8: Goods as a plug and bought all kind of.
Speaker 7: Garb to wear to the playoffs.
Speaker 8: And it was her face was on TV every time
Speaker 8: you turned around, talk about how great the Bengals are.
Speaker 8: And now she doesn't give a damn about the Bengals.
Speaker 8: It's about the taxpayers. About the taxpayers.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I love I love the fact that
Speaker 1: there's professional football. I you know, when I lived moved
Speaker 1: to Nashville. When I lived in Nashville, we didn't have
Speaker 1: the Titans yet. They hadn't come to town. So this
Speaker 1: was the first time in my adult life I'd ever
Speaker 1: lived anywhere that had a professional football team in the NFL,
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. And I'm glad that I live in
Speaker 1: a town that has a professional football team. But my
Speaker 1: life wouldn't be any lesser if there were no Bengals here. Now,
Speaker 1: you've been a lifelong Bengals fan, Jim, I know that,
Speaker 1: and you probably feel differently than I do about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I do, because I've been around them since
Speaker 8: like everybody in nineteen sixty eight up up at the
Speaker 8: UC watching them, I did.
Speaker 1: I was there.
Speaker 12: My dad used to take me to those games, right,
Speaker 12: So I was.
Speaker 8: The propaganda that went into my brain about the fact
Speaker 8: that we got a professional football team. Back then, we
Speaker 8: probably had I don't know, twenty twenty four teams. Now
Speaker 8: we got thirty two. I'm glad we got that. I
Speaker 8: heard a figure last night, and I know it's not
Speaker 8: I'm not totally right, but it's like eight to ten
Speaker 8: billion dollars in revenue comes in from these teams into
Speaker 8: a city because of what they do in advertising and
Speaker 8: you know, merchandise and when they go to the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs and YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 8: Now Mike Brown, I mean he's squeezing every penny he
Speaker 8: can get.
Speaker 12: But on a.
Speaker 8: Normal Jerry Jones basis, these guys are bringing in a
Speaker 8: lot of tax money.
Speaker 1: And you know.
Speaker 8: There's Alisha Reese, Alisha. If you think about the money
Speaker 8: that for the Bengals bring in, what if we didn't
Speaker 8: have the Bengals, what will we do with that hole
Speaker 8: in the in the ground down there on the riverfront
Speaker 8: holding jazz festivals one time a year and having no
Speaker 8: tax money coming out from the Bengals have selling merchandise.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine the Toledo Bengals. No, I can't see
Speaker 8: the Toledo Bengals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could expand the Freedom Center. They could they
Speaker 1: increase the size of the Slave Museum. Jim.
Speaker 8: Well, that's probably true, but I will admit I have
Speaker 8: been in there twice, and that was where people that
Speaker 8: got elected when they had, you know, their ceremonies down there.
Speaker 8: So there's places I do go to places I don't go.
Speaker 8: And then and I don't go to the Art Museum.
Speaker 8: I've been to that probably once or twice in my life.
Speaker 8: But that's tax money, So I do spend tax money.
Speaker 1: You've been going, You've been going. You've been going to
Speaker 1: OTR or downtown or the West End recently. Probably not
Speaker 1: a great idea, not good for your health, Jim.
Speaker 8: I wear my vest and I head down for a Hamburger. Sure,
Speaker 8: why not? I know people to go down there, and
Speaker 8: I keep telling them, why why do you go there? Well,
Speaker 8: they say it's safe. Oh who got shot last night?
Speaker 8: How many people died last night. Let's listen to the
Speaker 8: police chief and then the county you know whatever her
Speaker 8: name is mc mcgruffer. People dying over to Rye Gary. Jeff,
Speaker 8: it's not safe.
Speaker 1: There have been there have been eleven murders in this
Speaker 1: city in fifteen days, Jim, eleven and fifty. That's almost
Speaker 1: one a day. And they're telling me violent crime is down.
Speaker 8: Huh, we're fighting to bea Chicago. We're beating them per capita.
Speaker 8: We are beating Chicago. Well, it's a weekend.
Speaker 1: At least the city could beat the city. Since the
Speaker 1: Reds can't seem to beat the Cubs.
Speaker 8: Well, I know, but hey, at least we're winning ball games.
Speaker 8: You know, we're not.
Speaker 1: We're not down there.
Speaker 8: They're close to five hundred or a little bit over
Speaker 8: five hundred, and then they go back to over five hundred.
Speaker 8: You know. It's it's an entertainment, that's what it is, simply, simply,
Speaker 8: just like the Bengals. We love the playoffs. But if not,
Speaker 8: don't get all freaked out and start fights when Pittsburgh
Speaker 8: comes to town. I mean, just enjoy the entertainment factor
Speaker 8: and spend money. So Alicia Reese has something to gripe
Speaker 8: about for the taxpayer.
Speaker 1: So the county is spending three hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 1: on uh, keeping the entertainment on the river.
Speaker 7: That's what it seems like.
Speaker 8: Does and now, of course, but most of my My
Speaker 8: spewing this morning was tongue in cheek because.
Speaker 7: I don't like how long it took for the deal.
Speaker 1: Deal deal.
Speaker 8: They could have They could have hammered this thing out
Speaker 8: in a week. It's kind of like the Trey Henderson deal,
Speaker 8: you know. Get him in a room, get it done,
Speaker 8: and get it over with.
Speaker 1: And just move on.
Speaker 8: And then Lesha Reese could talk about how much tax
Speaker 8: money he's paying.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, maybe maybe if President Trump weren't working
Speaker 1: on truly important things instead of that, he he could
Speaker 1: have come to town and say, you don't know what
Speaker 1: the f you're doing and get things done. I mean,
Speaker 1: Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame, Trum Trump Trump,
Speaker 1: Trump could come down. Trump could come down there and
Speaker 1: get him in a room and make a deal. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: there or you know what?
Speaker 8: He do them.
Speaker 1: All right? Jimmy, it's good. It's always good to hear
Speaker 1: from you, my friend. And I know you're a huge
Speaker 1: Bengals fan. You have been since the inception of the
Speaker 1: franchise back in the sixties as a little kid. You
Speaker 1: grew up with it. It's been a part of your
Speaker 1: life the entire time. So it's good to hear that perspective,
Speaker 1: because my life would not be any different if they
Speaker 1: left tomorrow.
Speaker 8: Here, Gary Jeff is the Bengals and female roller derby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, baby, you know what I could go for some
Speaker 1: female roller derby.
Speaker 8: Town.
Speaker 1: I grew up with the lat Birds and the Chicago
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Bombers. I love female roller derby. You
Speaker 1: ever seen Raquel Welch on skates six fifteen and fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC the talk station our iHeartRadio music. Good morning,
Speaker 1: greeting salutations. I'm Gary Jeff Walker. It's a Friday morning,
Speaker 1: fifty five KRC and for Brian Thomas today. Coming up
Speaker 1: on twenty minutes past the hour, and just after six thirty,
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter from Interest it will be joining us. So
Speaker 1: it's tech talk on a Friday. As per usual, I
Speaker 1: get these emails from a guy named Glenn Harmier. I
Speaker 1: know Brian receives them too from time to time, and
Speaker 1: they are copies of letters he sends to the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Inquirer editorial board, letters to the editor, and he sends
Speaker 1: them out to us because most of the time the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Inquirer editorial board letters to the editor, folks ignore
Speaker 1: his commentaries and his editorials because they fly in the
Speaker 1: face of their very obvious liberal bias many times. So
Speaker 1: there's a point, but there's never any counterpoint, or hardly
Speaker 1: ever any counterpoint with the Inquirer when it comes to
Speaker 1: letters to the editor editorials. But this came yesterday, actually
Speaker 1: at three eighteen this morning, from Glenn to the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Inquirer Editorial Board. Letters to the editor of the front
Speaker 1: page headline of the Thursday, June twenty sixth inquir read
Speaker 1: pervol unacceptable rise in Cincinnati crime. Glenn writes, there is
Speaker 1: that word again, unacceptable, that seems to be the go
Speaker 1: to word for the mayor after every major crime or
Speaker 1: active violence that takes place in Cincinnati. When a police
Speaker 1: officer was attacked in Sawy your point in July of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, it was unacceptable, unacceptable in quotes, when
Speaker 1: teenagers were attacking people downtown in January of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: it was unacceptable. When Patrick Herringer was recently killed and
Speaker 1: is over the Rhine home, it was unacceptable. And now
Speaker 1: there is an unacceptable rise in Cincinnati crime. In this
Speaker 1: Reason article, the mayor is quoted as saying, too many
Speaker 1: residents are becoming victims. Right now, too many neighbors are
Speaker 1: concerned about the safety of their streets. In a previous article,
Speaker 1: the mayor was quoted as saying, I am ultimately responsible
Speaker 1: for keeping residents safe, and Glenn questions, how has the
Speaker 1: mayor been doing in that responsibility. I think most Cincinnati
Speaker 1: residents would say unacceptable. I believe families, they're victims or
Speaker 1: victims their families, and residents are getting tired of hearing
Speaker 1: the unacceptable word without seeing any effective efforts to control
Speaker 1: the increasing incidents of crime and violence. There is a
Speaker 1: mayoral election this year. Perhaps a change in the mayor's
Speaker 1: office is the next step. Thanks for taking time to
Speaker 1: read and consider my comments. Glenn Harmyer, cole Raine Township.
Speaker 1: My question is when the mayor says that the rise
Speaker 1: in crime is unacceptable, what's an acceptable rise in crime?
Speaker 1: Isn't any rise in crime, whether it be violent or just,
Speaker 1: crime against taxpayers, against citizens trying to live their lives
Speaker 1: and to enjoy public safety. Isn't any rise in crime
Speaker 1: unacceptable or what is the acceptable rate? From twenty to
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty twenty three, crime went up twelve
Speaker 1: point eight percent in over the Rhine downtown in the
Speaker 1: West End. From twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: it went up ten point two percent in those neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: So far this year's it's up thirty six point three percent.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to violent crime, OTR and Downtown
Speaker 1: are up over a three year average, not down, As
Speaker 1: Police Chief Teresichi says, that's a tough that's a tough
Speaker 1: name to say, Teresa Thigi. But again, my question is
Speaker 1: what's an acceptable rise in crime. Isn't any rise at
Speaker 1: all in crime unacceptable as far as public safety goes
Speaker 1: and the mayor's responsibility unacceptable is unacceptable, and it should
Speaker 1: be considered when you go to the polls. We'll be
Speaker 1: talking to mayoral candidate Corey Bowman at seven oh five
Speaker 1: and maybe he can tell me what an acceptable rise
Speaker 1: in crime is, since we all know this is unacceptable,
Speaker 1: untenable and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone. One six twenty
Speaker 1: five fifty five KRCV talk station.
Speaker 10: Your morning Espresso starts right here.
Speaker 1: It's the Sean Hannity Morning Minute.
Speaker 5: Natasha Bertrand triumphantly claiming that the president strikes were not successful,
Speaker 5: did not obliterator ends nuclear sites Okay, the same reporter
Speaker 5: who compidently authored the untrue story in twenty twenty, Hunter
Speaker 5: Biden's story is Russian disinformation.
Speaker 1: Whoopsie Daisy.
Speaker 5: The same reporter who somehow believed that actual Russian disinformation
Speaker 5: in the dirty Russian Hillary Clinton paid for dossier was
Speaker 5: totally legitimate.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: An op ed in the Washington Post accused her of
Speaker 5: bootstrapping the dossier into an MSNBC DNC gig. I mean,
Speaker 5: how this person has a job? Is CNN earned their
Speaker 5: name fake news CNN?
Speaker 1: They earned it The Sean Hannity Show from Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast later today.
Speaker 5: Hey, Sean Hannity here. You know, crime continues to go up.
Speaker 5: Violence is happening in small towns and big cities all
Speaker 5: around the country. That means that you need something on
Speaker 5: you at all times. Now, Berner BYRNA, they want you
Speaker 5: to conceal everywhere you go, and that's why they made
Speaker 5: their brand new compact launcher.
Speaker 1: How did as the World's the Eye in the sky
Speaker 1: is watching always? Big Brother? Where art thou Gary, Jeff
Speaker 1: and for Brian On this Friday morning, time for some
Speaker 1: tech talk with Doomsday Dave Hatter. Demand with the aluminum
Speaker 1: foil hat to keep the extraterrestrials from reading his brain
Speaker 1: or the Chinese, as the case may be. Dave Hatter,
Speaker 1: good morning, How are you.
Speaker 3: I'm good Gary, Jeff, how are you.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this this picture of you. People hear
Speaker 1: you on the radio and occasionally see you on television.
Speaker 1: But this picture of you with John matte Reice on
Speaker 1: Channel nine.
Speaker 3: Looking semi professional for a change there.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, and you see that you do a
Speaker 1: lot of radio stuff and you're not a television personality
Speaker 1: per se. But I would say that you look better
Speaker 1: than matte Reice by far.
Speaker 4: Well, I will take the compliment and I will plead
Speaker 4: the fish.
Speaker 1: This was a story that Channel nine ran that you
Speaker 1: were involved with on online shopping. Now, see, I am
Speaker 1: a stranger to online shopping. My wife not so much.
Speaker 1: In fact, she's probably done Christmas shopping for the next
Speaker 1: five years online already in June of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I do not do this. So this may not be
Speaker 1: pertinent or apply to me, But to many people, online
Speaker 1: shopping is so that's the way they shop. And there
Speaker 1: are a lot of things to look out for, aren't there?
Speaker 3: There are?
Speaker 4: Now, I don't do a whole lot of online shopping,
Speaker 4: but I don't do a whole lot of shopping Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 4: I'm in the same boat as you. You know, it
Speaker 4: seems like every day if I'm working from home, the
Speaker 4: Amazon truck out there and the ups fed ex.
Speaker 1: Et cetera.
Speaker 4: They're just running up my street. And you know, there's
Speaker 4: like a path through my grass to the front door
Speaker 4: for the stuff that's showing up continuously. So I understand, Yeah,
Speaker 4: there are a lot of things to look out for.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I think back in the day when online commerce e
Speaker 4: commerce first became a thing, people had all kinds of concerns,
Speaker 4: and you know, obviously most of those have been unfounded.
Speaker 3: People shop online.
Speaker 4: I think probably most people do most of their shopping
Speaker 4: online at this point. When you look at the numbers
Speaker 4: from things like Black Friday and you know, Christmas shopping
Speaker 4: and so forth, the numbers just seem to get larger
Speaker 4: and larger and larger. Itsier, and I get the convenience
Speaker 4: factor of it. It's nice to be able to, you know,
Speaker 4: shop multiple sites at one time, try to find the
Speaker 4: best deal, have things shipped to you from the comfort
Speaker 4: of your home, especially around the holidays. And not fighting
Speaker 4: the crowds. But like so many things you and I
Speaker 4: talk about all the time, and John points out in
Speaker 4: this story, there's just a never ending stream of scams
Speaker 4: out there, whether it's you know, phishing emails that claim
Speaker 4: to be a deal that's too good to be true
Speaker 4: and you get there and it's some kind of just
Speaker 4: straight up scam, or they're sending you to some kind
Speaker 4: of garbage in place of whatever it is you think
Speaker 4: you ordered, or it's the kind of thing he's talking
Speaker 4: about here. And this goes back to something you and
Speaker 4: I have talked about so many times as it relates
Speaker 4: to scams. It's so easy for the bad guys to
Speaker 4: spoof things, to make something that looks real but isn't.
Speaker 4: It's so easy to set up a website, a copy
Speaker 4: and existing website and paste it in. Essentially it costs
Speaker 4: next to nothing to do this. It's easy for the
Speaker 4: bad guys. And what he what he dives into here
Speaker 4: is the idea of these super deep discount shops. So
Speaker 4: you know, these internet trends hit all the time, here's
Speaker 4: the cool thing to buy. You know, until recently, Gary, Jeff,
Speaker 4: I'm so square. I had no idea what a hay
Speaker 4: dude shoe is. I'm sure you probably have a whole
Speaker 4: closet full right like a middle of Marcos level.
Speaker 1: No, Dave, I'm reading the article and I see hey
Speaker 1: dude shoes for just seven dollars, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's exactly my thank it for.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not sure what that hey dude shoe even is,
Speaker 4: but what he's trying to bring to attention, and you know,
Speaker 4: I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and him
Speaker 4: and all these folks to just try to get the
Speaker 4: word out to folks. Is you know, again, when a
Speaker 4: what a trend catches hold, whether there's some hot new
Speaker 4: product or whatever out there, it's really easy for the
Speaker 4: bad guys to set up a fake site to make
Speaker 4: it feel real, to send that emails and texts. I
Speaker 4: lately have been getting just a ridiculous amount of clearly
Speaker 4: focused texts not necessarily related to this, just in general.
Speaker 4: You know your phone number has been leaked so many
Speaker 4: times now, it's easy for the bad guys to get
Speaker 4: It's easy to write a program that can just literally
Speaker 4: generate every US phone number because they follow a known pattern.
Speaker 4: My point being it's it's so easy for the bad
Speaker 4: guys to get to you social media, email, text, whatever.
Speaker 4: It's easy for them to set up these fake sites.
Speaker 4: And I mean, and sometimes it's it's a partial scam.
Speaker 4: You know, you're going to send your money in and
Speaker 4: they're going to send you a product. It's going to
Speaker 4: be a knockoff, it's going to be some cheap garbage,
Speaker 4: it's not going to be what you're paid for. And
Speaker 4: in other cases it's just a straight up scam. You know,
Speaker 4: they make it look realistic. You send your money and
Speaker 4: you never get anything right because most of the time
Speaker 4: they're off shore somewhere in a place where at best
Speaker 4: the country turns a blind eye to it, and at
Speaker 4: worst they're complicit in it. So yeah, it's important to
Speaker 4: understand that. You know, the old adage is still true,
Speaker 4: Gary Jeff. Like so many things, if it's if the
Speaker 4: deal seems too good to be true, probably is Be careful,
Speaker 4: move cautiously. Check sites like the Better Business Brew and remember,
Speaker 4: just because you see online reviews on one of these
Speaker 4: sites doesn't mean they're not fake too, right, That's really
Speaker 4: really easy to do.
Speaker 1: So, did your curiosity get the best of you Dave
Speaker 1: Hadter and you and you did some research. What are
Speaker 1: hey dude shoes? And why are why is it seven
Speaker 1: dollars deal?
Speaker 4: They're, as best I can tell, kind of like slip
Speaker 4: on shoes, and they kind of remind me. Now I'm
Speaker 4: old enough, Garrett, you have to remember the van's craze
Speaker 4: in the eighties. This reminds me a little bit of that,
Speaker 4: because the ones I've seen anyway kind of slip on,
Speaker 4: some kind of casual comfort focus shoes. They they look
Speaker 4: to me, I don't own any kind of cheap but
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, I don't know if it's the name.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's.
Speaker 4: The style, because they've got a lot of different styles
Speaker 4: from what I can tell, but it seems to be
Speaker 4: very very popular, and I don't really understand it, to be.
Speaker 3: Honest with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you tell if it's a real
Speaker 1: site that you're shopping.
Speaker 4: Well, it can be difficult, you know, look at the URL,
Speaker 4: look for quality in the site itself, but again that's
Speaker 4: easy to duplicate. If there's no contact information or if
Speaker 4: it's really really difficult to find, like what's the phone number?
Speaker 4: If I'm having an issue with my order? Where is
Speaker 4: the thing physically located? You know, if you can't find
Speaker 4: that information, those are good signs that something might be up. Again,
Speaker 4: you can check a site like Better Business Bureau to
Speaker 4: see if there are complaints against that, YELP, trust pilot
Speaker 4: sites that attempt to give consumers a way to get
Speaker 4: some insight into is a site legitimate. Again, these are
Speaker 4: not guarantees. Garrit jeff Right. Because it's so easy to
Speaker 4: set these things up and so cheap, they can do
Speaker 4: it quickly. They can set one up, run a scam
Speaker 4: for a while, tear it down. But again, if you
Speaker 4: can't find any contact information, if there's no contact form,
Speaker 4: there's no phone number, no address, those are all strong
Speaker 4: red flags. Another thing you can do, if you're a
Speaker 4: little nerdier is you can use a site like who
Speaker 4: is to try to see when was the domain associated
Speaker 4: with that website, the URL, the address you go to,
Speaker 4: when was that registered? If that's only been online for
Speaker 4: a month or two, good likelihood.
Speaker 3: That's a scam.
Speaker 4: Right, your average retail store that's legit hasn't just popped
Speaker 4: up in the last month or two. So again, these
Speaker 4: are all red flags, not a guarantee that something is illegitimate.
Speaker 3: But if it seems too good to be true, be careful.
Speaker 1: This slow probably is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they're selling you something that's a hot product
Speaker 4: for ninety percent off high high high, high likelihood of scam.
Speaker 1: All right, when we return with Dave Hadder the yes
Speaker 1: you Can Trend and chat GPT stuff. Plus I have
Speaker 1: a question from a listener. As we continue on this
Speaker 1: Friday morning on fifty five KRC, the talk station from Iart.
Speaker 1: It's the morning show for a Friday, June twenty seventh.
Speaker 1: I'm Gary Jeff Walker in for Brian Thomas. At six
Speaker 1: forty one. We are doing the usual Friday tech talk
Speaker 1: dance with Dave Hatter and from tech Talk to TikTok
Speaker 1: the Yes you Can Trend Dave, this is this is like, hey, dude, choose.
Speaker 1: But I'm not a teenage girl, so maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 1: know what yes you can is. And maybe and maybe
Speaker 1: teenage girls shouldn't know what that is either.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they probably shouldn't in light of what looks like
Speaker 4: is happening here. But I gotta give a hat hip
Speaker 4: to Joe there. The Kansas Sparks of the Tempest was
Speaker 4: a nice touch.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that point.
Speaker 1: You know, before before you get started. Did you ever
Speaker 1: see Kansas Live, Dave?
Speaker 3: I did several times.
Speaker 1: Man, that was was Steve Walsh, the front man and
Speaker 1: the keyboard player. He was because do you remember do
Speaker 1: you remember the incredible flying leg kicks Steve Walsh would
Speaker 1: do on stage while he while he's singing and playing
Speaker 1: the keyboards. It was the most amazing thing ever seeing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a great live ban back in the day. Now,
Speaker 4: I mean I didn't see them in their heyday. I
Speaker 4: was too young, but I've saw them several times in
Speaker 4: the nineties and early two thousands. Put on a great
Speaker 4: show and again huge fans. Sparks the Tempest. Everyone should
Speaker 4: go listen to that song. It's rather prophetic. But late seventies,
Speaker 4: early eighties I saw him great, good, good stuff, good stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 4: So Parents Magazine did this story. Experts say the yes
Speaker 4: you can trend can lead to grooming what parents need
Speaker 4: to know, And you know, as a parent, I thought
Speaker 4: that headline was pretty disturbing. And Gary, Jeff, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm no TikTok fan. No, I have a lot of
Speaker 4: concerns with TikTok, not just the data collection they're doing.
Speaker 4: Because they're owned by a Chinese company, but also they're
Speaker 4: the possibility that you are being persuaded and propagandized through
Speaker 4: this Chinese Communist Party controlled app. But all that said,
Speaker 4: you know, one of the things that TikTok has been
Speaker 4: known for, besides cute cat videos and that sort of thing,
Speaker 4: is these trending things that will pop up some cases
Speaker 4: harmful to people. They get people to try to do
Speaker 4: stupid stuff, you know, et cetera. And in this particular case,
Speaker 4: I'll just read you what a licensed social worker says.
Speaker 4: The yes you Can trend is sophisticated digital grooming disguised
Speaker 4: as girl empowerment. And in this particular article, if you're
Speaker 4: a parent and you have daughters, I strongly encourage you
Speaker 4: to go read it. It's got a lot of quotes
Speaker 4: from experts in the field. Again, I'm no expert on
Speaker 4: psychiatry or psychology. I just know that these kinds of
Speaker 4: things happen on TikTok all the time, and as a
Speaker 4: parent of a daughter who is now an adult, so
Speaker 4: I'm not as worried about this in her case.
Speaker 3: It's pretty disturbing.
Speaker 4: And the basic gist is you get these trends popping
Speaker 4: up of people saying, Oh, you shouldn't do X, Y
Speaker 4: or Z, and then apparently there's a song that they play,
Speaker 4: Yes you can. And the idea is, again, according to
Speaker 4: all of these experts that have seen this, it's trying
Speaker 4: to groom young girls into doing things that they shouldn't
Speaker 4: do and ideally set them up for a predator, like
Speaker 4: you know, you shouldn't date older people. Yes you can
Speaker 4: sort of thing.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 4: Again, another quote, the yes you can trend also brings
Speaker 4: a high level of risk, including the possibility of online
Speaker 4: sexual solicitation, says Diana Lampkins, a licensed social worker. Apparently,
Speaker 4: and again there's a bunch of quotes in here from
Speaker 4: people that work in the field and would know a
Speaker 4: lot more about the potential psychological dangers of this, But
Speaker 4: I would just remind folks, even if you forget about
Speaker 4: this particular trend that's yes you can think you know,
Speaker 4: whether it's sextortion criminals looking to get young kids usually
Speaker 4: boys in this case, into compromising positions and then extort
Speaker 4: money from them, which has led too many suicides sadly
Speaker 4: and tragically enough, or it's predators out there who are
Speaker 4: trying to build relationships to your kids or with your kids,
Speaker 4: rather through tools like social media or online gaming. You know, again,
Speaker 4: I have nothing against video games. Scared, Yeah, that's how
Speaker 4: I got in this business in the first place. But understand,
Speaker 4: in modern video games, almost all of them support a
Speaker 4: multiplayer experience, So you're online, you're playing the game with
Speaker 4: other people. There's nothing that would stop a forty two
Speaker 4: year old man from pretending to be a fifteen year
Speaker 4: old girl right and trying to build some rapport or
Speaker 4: build up that relationship. So understand that this particular trend could.
Speaker 1: Lead to.
Speaker 4: Sextortion, it could lead to you know, real world physical predators.
Speaker 3: Trying to get to your kids.
Speaker 4: And sadly, it's just one of the many things you
Speaker 4: have to worry about as a parent. Now, you know,
Speaker 4: you need to talk to your kids about this. You
Speaker 4: need to warn them about these kind of things. You
Speaker 4: need to understand what they're doing. You need to make
Speaker 4: them feel comfortable that they can come talk to you
Speaker 4: if something unusual or uncomfortable is happening to them online.
Speaker 4: Because you know, whether you just don't like this sort
Speaker 4: of idea this thing is creating, or it's you know,
Speaker 4: really designed for predators to get to your kids, you
Speaker 4: need to warn them about these kind of things.
Speaker 1: And I hate that.
Speaker 3: I hate that's the way that is. But that's where
Speaker 3: we're at.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, here's the thing, Dave, And let's be
Speaker 1: honest about this. It's human nature, especially for a teenager
Speaker 1: boy or girl, to be enticed and be tempted to
Speaker 1: do things they know they shouldn't be doing. Yep, without
Speaker 1: any kind of urging from social media or TikTok or
Speaker 1: anywhere else. This was always an issue. This was always
Speaker 1: a problem that parents were facing and challenges that were
Speaker 1: put in front of teens who were still developing in
Speaker 1: every single way, you know, sexually and mentally and physically.
Speaker 1: But now you add the extra element of this and
Speaker 1: it's so ubiquitous, everybody's online doing god knows what. It
Speaker 1: has exponentially increased the risk of someone a young person,
Speaker 1: getting into some serious trouble and being you know, too
Speaker 1: far down into it by the time they or somebody
Speaker 1: else finds out. So that this is definitely something that
Speaker 1: parents should watch, and it's definitely something that parents should
Speaker 1: and a lot of this is on parents themselves for
Speaker 1: knowing exactly what their kids are into and for you know,
Speaker 1: headed off at the past the best way they.
Speaker 4: Can, right, Yeah, And it's it's a tricky challenge because
Speaker 4: you know, the kids are usually several steps ahead with
Speaker 4: the stuff. They know what the latest cool things are
Speaker 4: and platforms and where to go and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think you're right. I'll give you one
Speaker 4: last quick quote from this article and I'll put this
Speaker 4: to the show notes, because if you're a parent or
Speaker 4: a grandparent, you really should read what these folks are
Speaker 4: saying about.
Speaker 3: You know, this particular thing.
Speaker 4: This, yes, you can challenge, but just TikTok and these
Speaker 4: trends in general, most important, only help teens understand their
Speaker 4: developing brains, make them particularly vulnerable to manipulative content. That
Speaker 4: asking for guidance shows strength, not weakness. And then it
Speaker 4: goes on to say the key message in one pas
Speaker 4: to understand is that this isn't just another quote dangerous
Speaker 4: challenge unquote, it's a sophisticated.
Speaker 3: Form of manipulation.
Speaker 4: Again, one of the major knocks on TikTok in the
Speaker 4: first place.
Speaker 3: Scary, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolute Dave Hatter on a Friday morning back after a
Speaker 1: break on fifty five KRC, the talk station. A heat
Speaker 1: advisory in effect until eight pm this evening. It may
Speaker 1: be extended into the weekend because the heat and humidity
Speaker 1: remain to be the major weather story. A chance of
Speaker 1: afternoon our evening pop up storms as possible both today
Speaker 1: tomorrow and more than likely later in the day. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: Steamy and seventy two at fifty five KRCB.
Speaker 11: Talk station from the UC Health Traffic Center. At you
Speaker 11: See Health, you'll find comprehensive care that's so personal it
Speaker 11: makes your best tomorrow possible. That's boundless care for better outcomes.
Speaker 11: Expect more heelp dot com. Traffic doesn't too bad on
Speaker 11: the main roads and freeways. I'm just keeping an eye
Speaker 11: on the building traffic volumes. We had an accident for
Speaker 11: seventy one southbound before two seventy five. It's already clearing
Speaker 11: out of the way. Watch four slowdowns though. From Alexandria Heike.
Speaker 11: I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five krc betump station.
Speaker 1: Good morning to my wife Chris to two point oho
Speaker 1: who thinks Stixon, Kansas is the same band? Dave Hatter
Speaker 1: joins us for one more segment on the Friday Tech
Speaker 1: Talk from Interest It to you your onn fifty five KRC,
Speaker 1: chat GPT apparently is so ever present on the Internet
Speaker 1: that it's hobbling the development of future AI. Explain this to.
Speaker 4: Me, Yeah, this is an interesting idea. You may have
Speaker 4: heard the term, if you follow this space at all, slop.
Speaker 4: The idea that these generative AI tools chat, TPT, copilot grock,
Speaker 4: clawed perplexity, some of the gemini from Google are generating
Speaker 4: so much content now and it's feeding off itself, which
Speaker 4: you're like in a situation of entropy. And on a
Speaker 4: related note, now, let me give you the headline here
Speaker 4: this kind of helps set the stage for this. This
Speaker 4: is from an online magazine called Ours Technica. Scientists once
Speaker 4: hoarded pre nuclear steel, now we're hoarding pre AI content,
Speaker 4: and it says newly announced catalog collects please three twenty
Speaker 4: twenty two sources untouched by chat, GPT and AI contamination.
Speaker 4: The idea is content created before twenty twenty two was mostly,
Speaker 4: if not entirely, written by human beings. Now you increasingly
Speaker 4: have human beings using these generative AI tools to create content.
Speaker 4: And because they feed off of each other, and because
Speaker 4: the nature of the way these things work, you're getting
Speaker 4: to a place where you're getting.
Speaker 3: This more and more slot more carbage.
Speaker 4: Because there's a reminder, Gary Jeffson, I want to be
Speaker 4: clear here, I'm not saying that these kinds of tools
Speaker 4: the chat GPT's in the world now. I personally prefer
Speaker 4: Rock from X. But these tools can't be useful. But
Speaker 4: they have a lot of issues, one being input risk.
Speaker 4: When you put content into these things, it's going unless
Speaker 4: you have a free, separate stand not free, a standalone
Speaker 4: model generally that you're paying for. When you put content
Speaker 4: init these things, it's going into their base model, which
Speaker 4: means anything you put into it is potentially available to
Speaker 4: someone else. So any kind of sensitive data, anything that's proprietary,
Speaker 4: if you put it into the free version of chat,
Speaker 4: GPT or grock or whatever, it has now become part
Speaker 4: of their model. They can do whatever they want with it,
Speaker 4: including serve it up to someone else. So that's part
Speaker 4: of the problem. But the real problem in my mind
Speaker 4: is output risk, which is the idea that these things
Speaker 4: just make things up. They hallucinate or can fabulate hallucination
Speaker 4: as a well known term. They just literally will make
Speaker 4: things up. And then we'll argue with you to try
Speaker 4: to convince you that it's real. And so if I
Speaker 4: use chatch ept today and it makes something up and
Speaker 4: I publish that, and then that feeds into let's say,
Speaker 4: the perplexity model, because it finds it online. Okay, so
Speaker 4: now something that is confabulated is now in that model.
Speaker 4: It just feeds itself in a slowly devolving kind of thing.
Speaker 4: And again this idea of pre nuclear steel steel that
Speaker 4: was not impacted by the nuclear blasts in the forties.
Speaker 4: Again it gets into physics, but it's an interesting analogy.
Speaker 4: And the point is is more and more and more content,
Speaker 4: and I believe you can start to see the entropy,
Speaker 4: or sometimes it's called model collapse and things like AI
Speaker 4: generated art. Right, it's gotten better in many ways, but
Speaker 4: in some ways now it's all starting to look the same.
Speaker 4: So I'm not an expert on the inner workings of
Speaker 4: these things. All I know is there's an enormous amount
Speaker 4: of hype and hyperbole out there around how we're all
Speaker 4: going to die and this is going to take all.
Speaker 3: The jobs and all this sort of stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but when you really look in to this and
Speaker 4: you understand how these things work to the extent you
Speaker 4: can because they're almost all a black box. And you
Speaker 4: can't really know when you understand this idea of slop
Speaker 4: that the content, because it feeds off of itself, is
Speaker 4: leading towards this idea of model collapse. And that's a
Speaker 4: controversial topic. There's a lot of experts that say it's
Speaker 4: a real thing. It's coming that these things, you know,
Speaker 4: I will say this, Gary, Jeff, I think they're right
Speaker 4: about what they're saying. And I think that these generative
Speaker 4: AI models, the large language model driven products like CHATGPT
Speaker 4: have potentially peaked because of this and because there's no
Speaker 4: new content for them to read, and now they're reading
Speaker 4: their own stuff. You know, what is the old drug
Speaker 4: dealer thing, don't get high off your own supply? Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, And that I do not believe these large
Speaker 4: language model based AI products are going to take all
Speaker 4: the jobs or wipe us out anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Well the next time, let's just say that, the next
Speaker 1: time we talk, we'll find out how you know, drug
Speaker 1: dealer sling slang and get.
Speaker 3: Read it on the internet.
Speaker 1: Carries johh Okay sure Dave had her from his trust
Speaker 1: it this morning with Friday Tech Talk. Good information. As always,
Speaker 1: my friend and we'll talk to you soon. Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, It's six fifty six and some change. Corey
Speaker 1: Bowman coming up after seven on fifty five KRSC the
Speaker 1: Talk Station. Big things are happening.
Speaker 2: This justin will tell you more at the top of
Speaker 2: the hour.
Speaker 11: What they are doing is terrorizing immigrant families.
Speaker 2: Fifty five krs the Talk Station.
Speaker 1: This report is sponsored by Aqua Adventures.
Speaker 2: For instance, Access to Your World. Couldn't live without it
Speaker 2: fifty five krs The Talk.
Speaker 1: Station except when it gains Partley Cloudy six minutes past
Speaker 1: the hour, seven oh six Eastern Time. That is Gary
Speaker 1: jeff In for Brian Thomas on the Morning Show on
Speaker 1: this Friday, June the twenty seventh. Hard to believe. We're
Speaker 1: almost at the fourth of July. Certainly feels like it weatherwise, anyway.
Speaker 1: In this half hour, joining us pastor coffee shop entrepreneur,
Speaker 1: prolific people producing person along with his wife and also
Speaker 1: candidate for mayor of Cincinnati, Corey Bowman joins us this morning.
Speaker 1: It's always great to talk to you, brother, Corey. How
Speaker 1: are you doing? Just that?
Speaker 13: Prolific People Producer is a great title.
Speaker 1: Just had your fourth right.
Speaker 12: About to still waiting.
Speaker 1: Oh, Okay, I didn't know that bun was still in
Speaker 1: the oven, but congratulations to you and your wife when
Speaker 1: that happens, that blessed event. I mean, the good book
Speaker 1: said go forth and multiply, and you were definitely following
Speaker 1: the Lord's advice on that one. I'll give you there.
Speaker 1: We're doing our best, all right. So there was a
Speaker 1: television story and just another television story about crime in
Speaker 1: OTR and downtown in the West End, and the police chief,
Speaker 1: Teresa Thichi, claims that violent crime overall has been down
Speaker 1: this year before a surge in the last month. The
Speaker 1: data backs up the violent crime claims for the year,
Speaker 1: but also shows an uptick in all reported crimes in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and those three neighborhoods. And this has been a
Speaker 1: trend starting in about twenty twenty two. And you know,
Speaker 1: I find this is an odd coincidence, perhaps maybe perhaps
Speaker 1: not with the current leadership in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And I'll say that when John Cranley was mayor and
Speaker 1: we had somebody like Chris Smithman as the vice mayor
Speaker 1: and the head of public safety in the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: even during what we're nationally more turbulent times, say the
Speaker 1: infamous Summer of Not Love in twenty twenty and everything
Speaker 1: that happened then in the wake of George Floyd. Violent
Speaker 1: crime did not start to tick up until the new
Speaker 1: administration came into power of Aptab Pureval and new police chief,
Speaker 1: a new sheriff. And I don't know if it's correlative.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a direct correlation between the
Speaker 1: rise in crime in the city of Cincinnati. It just
Speaker 1: seems an odd happenstance because I think a lot more
Speaker 1: people at least had a feeling of confidence in public
Speaker 1: safety that does not exist now when the previous administration
Speaker 1: was in power. Are you getting where I'm saying and
Speaker 1: getting where I'm going with this, Corey.
Speaker 12: No, absolutely. You know, this is an issue that is
Speaker 12: very important at.
Speaker 13: The forefront of everybody that lives in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 13: When we first started this race for mayor, we started
Speaker 13: asking people what's the most important issues that you care
Speaker 13: about in our city? And nine times, in point nine
Speaker 13: times out of ten, all of them would say that
Speaker 13: crime was.
Speaker 12: A major issue that they were dealing with.
Speaker 13: These were business owners in the city, these were residents,
Speaker 13: people that were raising their families, And I want to
Speaker 13: say this that you know, our heart and our respect
Speaker 13: goes out to all the officers of Cincinnati Police Department,
Speaker 13: Hamilton County Sheriff's Department. These officers, we've talked with them
Speaker 13: more than anybody, especially this last month, having one on
Speaker 13: one conversations with people from every rank and every position.
Speaker 13: And these are officers that put their lives on the
Speaker 13: line every day. They have a hard to truly protect
Speaker 13: and serve our communities.
Speaker 12: And what you're seeing.
Speaker 13: Right now is not only devastating to the city, but
Speaker 13: it's devastating to these officers because they want to do
Speaker 13: their job, they want to protect and serve. But this
Speaker 13: is a direct correlation with the leadership.
Speaker 12: You know, a lot of people.
Speaker 13: Are running stories that you know, I'm the first Republican
Speaker 13: to run.
Speaker 12: As mayor in sixteen years.
Speaker 13: There hasn't been a Republican mayor in almost fifty years.
Speaker 13: But you mentioned previous administrations. Even though it might be
Speaker 13: on size that some people disagree on, the reality of
Speaker 13: it is that.
Speaker 12: When it came to crime, when it came to.
Speaker 13: The management of protecting our citizens in our city, there
Speaker 13: were certain people that did it a lot better. But
Speaker 13: the last four years we have seen a steep decline
Speaker 13: in the management of what it takes to truly protect
Speaker 13: our citizens.
Speaker 1: Well was quoted as saying that the recent rise in
Speaker 1: crime was unacceptable. This is about the third or fourth
Speaker 1: time he's used that term and describing some horrific act
Speaker 1: including the Heronser murder at his home in otr that
Speaker 1: sadly we had to witness, and the herons your family
Speaker 1: is having to deal with still and not feeling like
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati as being really responsive to that
Speaker 1: awful murder that happened in someone's private home, not on
Speaker 1: the streets of Cincinnati. And all the mayor can come
Speaker 1: up and say, is it's unacceptable. He's been saying that
Speaker 1: about numerous things for the last few years. And is
Speaker 1: there is there a rise in crime? Is there a
Speaker 1: rise in murder that is acceptable? Isn't it all unacceptable? Corey?
Speaker 1: That's that's what I find surprising about him using that
Speaker 1: term over and over again, and still nothing seemingly is
Speaker 1: getting done about it. And let's be honest too, Now,
Speaker 1: no one person, whether it's the mayor or the chief
Speaker 1: of police or the sheriff, can you know, put his
Speaker 1: hand out and wave a magic wand and stop violence
Speaker 1: or stop people from doing criminal things. But there's a
Speaker 1: pattern of policies, and there is a pattern of I
Speaker 1: don't know, misappropriation of resources perhaps, or that can affect
Speaker 1: this directly. It's not like mayor pure vol could come
Speaker 1: out tomorrow and perform some magical spell and it would
Speaker 1: all stop. We understand that. But there is a way
Speaker 1: of producing better results.
Speaker 12: Let's say no, no, absolutely.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 13: One of those big issues that people care about as
Speaker 13: well is having to do with the budget and the
Speaker 13: city budget. And what I tell people when it comes
Speaker 13: to financial budget, there's no perfect budget. There's no like, Okay,
Speaker 13: I'm going to download this template and then this is
Speaker 13: going to solve all my problems. It's something you have
Speaker 13: to consistently work at and it all has to deal
Speaker 13: with principles and priorities. That's why I tell people any
Speaker 13: budget is going to be effective is you have the
Speaker 13: right principles and priorities. And that's going to be the
Speaker 13: same way when it comes to your administration's approach to
Speaker 13: crime and your local police officers. What's been happening right
Speaker 13: now is that the principles and priorities of the administration
Speaker 13: hasn't been its officers. It hasn't been the police department. Yeah,
Speaker 13: we can throw out numbers that what they're doing with
Speaker 13: the budget, but when it comes to the culture of
Speaker 13: what's happening at city Hall, they put more emphasis on
Speaker 13: social issues.
Speaker 12: They put more.
Speaker 13: Emphasis on community initiatives, which in my mind that a
Speaker 13: lot of them are going nowhere. They put a lot
Speaker 13: of emphasis on things rather than just hitting the target
Speaker 13: of backing our police officers. Now, it's not about being
Speaker 13: a militant state. It's about letting these officers truly be
Speaker 13: a part of their communities that they want to protect
Speaker 13: uncert So these are and it has to do with
Speaker 13: administrative decisions as well. You know, you mentioned Patrick Herringer
Speaker 13: that got brutally murdered in his home in OTR and
Speaker 13: his wife, Sarah heart goes out to her and all
Speaker 13: the people that were connected to his gym that they owned.
Speaker 13: But in response to that, you know what they did
Speaker 13: was they moved a lot of officers to OTR to
Speaker 13: be able to protect people, to show that they are
Speaker 13: meaning business. But behind the scenes you see that a
Speaker 13: lot of officers were pulled from other districts. Well, then
Speaker 13: you have Let's not forget Charles Smith. Charles Smith was
Speaker 13: a fifty five year old veteran who worked at the
Speaker 13: Cincinnati VA Medical Center and that week, in response when
Speaker 13: the police officers were moved to OTR, this man was
Speaker 13: murdered in the North Side in Cummingsville. And so this
Speaker 13: is what's happening, is that these administrative decisions are leading
Speaker 13: to results that aren't favorable to the people in our community.
Speaker 13: We've got to be able to make better decisions. We
Speaker 13: got to be able to put better people in place
Speaker 13: from the administrative side of things. And because all the
Speaker 13: weight of the world is coming on our officers and
Speaker 13: they need to be able to know that their leadership
Speaker 13: is behind them one hundred percent, that their leadership is
Speaker 13: going to make the right decisions. That yes, they're being
Speaker 13: put in harm's way every day, but there are certain
Speaker 13: aspects that's going to prevent bad situations from happening. And
Speaker 13: so the morale of the officers is huge when it.
Speaker 12: Comes to all this.
Speaker 13: When it comes to recruitment, when it comes to training,
Speaker 13: a lot of officers are taking their retirement options right
Speaker 13: now just because they're ready to get out. Then they
Speaker 13: don't want to deal with it, and a lot of
Speaker 13: the times when you sign up for extra shifts, or
Speaker 13: when you sign up for extra coverage over the weekend,
Speaker 13: when you're being told that you're going to go to OTR,
Speaker 13: or you're not even told you're just going to be
Speaker 13: put to OTR, but you're not familiar with the area,
Speaker 13: it's just kind of a rash decision. Law of officers
Speaker 13: don't even want to sign up for these shifts anymore.
Speaker 13: So there's a lot of things that need to be
Speaker 13: worked on. And this isn't just something that needs to
Speaker 13: be fixed after the election November. This is stuff that
Speaker 13: needs to be happening right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, Corey Bowman, I tell you what. We'll take
Speaker 1: a quick break when we come back. I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about a post that I saw from you on
Speaker 1: a recent trip to visit the SWAT team here in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and once you've found out about their obvious lack
Speaker 1: of requested resources. It's seven seventeen on this Friday morning
Speaker 1: at fifty five KRC, the talk station. Our Ihearthar and
Speaker 1: Mayor I have toa pure vol to the recent rise
Speaker 1: in crime and violent crime in the last month or
Speaker 1: so unacceptable. This is that term over and over again
Speaker 1: talking to may Earl candidate Corey Bowman and Corey, you
Speaker 1: had an interesting visit with a high ranking officer and
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Swat team recently that you posted, and tell
Speaker 1: me what you found out in that meeting, Corey.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so this is just a chance of currency. I
Speaker 13: was going up to police officers on the street and
Speaker 13: just thanking them for what they're doing. You know, I
Speaker 13: tell them this isn't a political ploy.
Speaker 12: I'm sincerely thankful for.
Speaker 13: All you guys protecting our city. And one officer specifically,
Speaker 13: he was a part of the swat team. We just
Speaker 13: started talking and you know, I just said, how are
Speaker 13: things going for you guys, and he said, you know,
Speaker 13: there's you know, a big issue for us is going
Speaker 13: to be our tactical gear, which that's in the name SWAT.
Speaker 13: You know, so this is a specific part of the
Speaker 13: police department that has to deal with certain things that
Speaker 13: other officers don't, and a key part of their team
Speaker 13: has to do with their gear and their equipment. And
Speaker 13: he said that I've put in multiple requests to the
Speaker 13: city leadership to be able to get funding for gear,
Speaker 13: and we've been denied consistently any one big thing about
Speaker 13: your local Cincinnati SWAT or let's say your local Cincinnati FBI,
Speaker 13: which isn't part you know, but these agencies that are
Speaker 13: local you have to coordinate with higher ranking, you know,
Speaker 13: organizations such as your federal level SWAP. And he said,
Speaker 13: whenever they work, whenever.
Speaker 12: They work with the higher level.
Speaker 13: SWAP teams from the state or from the federal.
Speaker 12: They're always inadequate. They always have to like they'll be,
Speaker 12: you know.
Speaker 13: Monitoring a situation where on the comms they'll say, hey,
Speaker 13: what do you guys see and it'll be in the
Speaker 13: middle of the night and they say, we don't see anything.
Speaker 12: We don't have night visions.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 13: And these are things to where I told one of
Speaker 13: the one of my friends who the business owner, and
Speaker 13: he was like, you know, I've looked him up, you know,
Speaker 13: in stores online. I'll buy the tactical gear form, I'll
Speaker 13: buy the night vision for our local Cincinnati SWAD if
Speaker 13: that's what they need. And that just shows you know
Speaker 13: that this is you know, we've got amazing officers. We've
Speaker 13: got amazing people in our police departments that want to
Speaker 13: do their jobs and they're being held back not only
Speaker 13: by what we just mentioned with the equipment and not
Speaker 13: being you know, not being funded properly, but also you know,
Speaker 13: just to support just the support of you know, there's
Speaker 13: certain laws in place that non pursuit laws or certain
Speaker 13: directives from the top that keep these officers from really
Speaker 13: doing the jobs that they need to do in the city.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the police chief ESA's teacher says that
Speaker 1: violent crime overall has been down this year, and yet
Speaker 1: the answer and had a press conference on Tuesday, included
Speaker 1: adding more officers to all four of cpds violence crime
Speaker 1: squad units. Well, if violent crime is down, why do
Speaker 1: you need more officers in your violent crime units? Me exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 13: The statistics that they're using, you know a lot of
Speaker 13: times they'll they'll celebrate and they'll say that all homicides
Speaker 13: are down because it'll be one less, you.
Speaker 12: Know, overall of the year than it was the previous year.
Speaker 13: Right, but you know, auto thefts and auto crimes are up,
Speaker 13: spiking ninety eight percent since the previous years. You know,
Speaker 13: when you're talking about aggravated assault, when you're talking about robbery,
Speaker 13: when you talk about other things that affect our community,
Speaker 13: these things are spiking and going up and that's on
Speaker 13: their websites, that's on their statistics, and that's not to
Speaker 13: mention the unreported crimes. The people I mean, I talk
Speaker 13: with people.
Speaker 12: We are our.
Speaker 13: Business and our coffee shops and now residents is within
Speaker 13: the West End, and you've got to realize that whenever
Speaker 13: we talk to people downtown gunshots or certain crimes that happen,
Speaker 13: people don't even bother calling in.
Speaker 12: Or reporting the crime because they're.
Speaker 1: Like, what are they going to do?
Speaker 13: Nothing's going to happen. And that's a large part because
Speaker 13: the directives that they're getting from the top well.
Speaker 1: And after a while, people become desensitized to if it
Speaker 1: happens all the time, and there has to be a
Speaker 1: way to get a better grip on this. Corey, and
Speaker 1: I hope you get the chance to show us what
Speaker 1: you can do.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I'll end it with this.
Speaker 13: I think a huge part of this, I've been pushing this,
Speaker 13: I created a huge part of this has to be
Speaker 13: the emergency call center in our city. We have to
Speaker 13: be able to give the responsibility of this call center
Speaker 13: back to the Cincinnati Police Department, because what's happening is
Speaker 13: that this call center dispatched they have the choice whether
Speaker 13: you like it or not, whether you call nine to
Speaker 13: one one or not, whether you think it's an emergency
Speaker 13: or not. They have the ability of dispatching their choice
Speaker 13: of either a three one one CI community officer, an
Speaker 13: ARC officer which is just a fireman and a mental
Speaker 13: health specialist, or an actual CPD officer. And that relationship
Speaker 13: between the officers and the city is being divided by
Speaker 13: that call center and all the policies that are in
Speaker 13: place there as well. And so we've got to restore
Speaker 13: the relationship between the community, the city and.
Speaker 12: The police officers. We've got to show people that these.
Speaker 13: Officers are there protect and serve and a community that's
Speaker 13: united under that, you're going to.
Speaker 12: See crime go down.
Speaker 13: You're going to see the protection that we need.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 1: Very good, Corey Bowman, candidate for mayor, pastor, entrepreneur, prolific people, producer,
Speaker 1: and our guest this morning, Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: your time, my friend, and continue continue finding out what
Speaker 1: you can find out, and hopefully you will be in
Speaker 1: a position to help out the rest of the citizens
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati come November. It's seven twenty seven on this
Speaker 1: Friday morning at fifty five KRC de Talk Station. Dan
Speaker 1: Hills up next.
Speaker 2: From iHeart Podcast before.
Speaker 1: Sing, A guy who knows a lot about real life
Speaker 1: heroes on the streets, joins us. Now in this half hour,
Speaker 1: we're just talking with Corey Bowman, candidate for mayor, about
Speaker 1: the challenges that Cincinnati Police are facing and then officers
Speaker 1: face regardless of where they are every day. But it
Speaker 1: seems like Cincinnati Police right now aret a turning point
Speaker 1: with the current administration. A guy who worked with many
Speaker 1: different administrations and city councils in his time as president
Speaker 1: with the Fraternal Order of Police now with the frontline advisors.
Speaker 1: Dan Hills joins us and Danny, I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: to you this morning because this is as the subject
Speaker 1: you know very well, it is near and dear to
Speaker 1: your heart as someone who was in the mix. And
Speaker 1: there was a time in the City of Cincinnati's history,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you had your differences with people like
Speaker 1: John Cranleigh and the council, but there seemed to be
Speaker 1: at least people in the Mayor's office and people like
Speaker 1: Chris Smitherman in particular, who really had the police's best
Speaker 1: interest at heart. And we're responding to public safety in
Speaker 1: a way this current administration is not would you agree
Speaker 1: with that? Oh, Gary Jesse.
Speaker 14: I mean, the majority of the time I was the
Speaker 14: President of the Union, I had John Cranley as the mayor.
Speaker 14: And while we might not, you know, be hand in
Speaker 14: hand and most political discussions, especially like at the national
Speaker 14: level or anything like that, John Cranley believed in law
Speaker 14: and order. And you know, he's he's part of a
Speaker 14: breed that is quickly becoming extinct, and that's a moderate Democrat.
Speaker 14: And you saw what happened to him when he when
Speaker 14: he attempted to run for governor, he got absolutely slaughtered
Speaker 14: by the far left. So you know, we could, we could,
Speaker 14: we could probably have some sort of services or funeral
Speaker 14: for the moderate Democrats. And until we have a Bible
Speaker 14: second party, I think you already started talking about.
Speaker 9: What's what's most effected and most damaged is is our
Speaker 9: urban areas that that is controlled by these far left wingers.
Speaker 9: And yeah, it's a big difference between John Cranley and
Speaker 9: what we have now with they have had well.
Speaker 1: Major metropolitan areas in this country all over the country
Speaker 1: are our Democrat dominated.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: That hasn't changed in many respects for fifty sixty years.
Speaker 1: Some cases, some major cities have always had Democrat leadership.
Speaker 1: What has changed is the Democrat party itself. And I
Speaker 1: was talking about this earlier. Now we know that in
Speaker 1: New York City the Democrats and the people who vote
Speaker 1: Democrat have gone full scale Marxist Communists by electing this
Speaker 1: guy Mondani in the primary on Tuesday for the next
Speaker 1: mayor of NYC. The big apple is going to be
Speaker 1: I don't know, the big Gulag. It's going to be Beijing.
Speaker 1: That's right, basically, essentially, with that guy in charge, if
Speaker 1: he wins in the general election in November, new York
Speaker 1: City's gone. I heard that result and heard what he
Speaker 1: was preaching, you know, and his snake oil salesman way,
Speaker 1: very very slick, very polished, I'll give him that, and
Speaker 1: being I guess honest to his constituency, which are the
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, the Aocs of the world. But when I
Speaker 1: heard that, the first thing I thought of was a
Speaker 1: movie Escape from New York with Snake Blisken and Donald
Speaker 1: Pleasants as the Duke of New York. And it's just
Speaker 1: a giant maximum security prison that's walled off from the
Speaker 1: rest of the country. And that's exactly what it's going
Speaker 1: to become if this guy becomes mayor and the policies
Speaker 1: that he has promised are enacted, because anybody who cares
Speaker 1: about living in a free country is going to be
Speaker 1: out of that. And that's a lot of the wealth
Speaker 1: and a lot of the people that he wants to
Speaker 1: soak in tax dollars for all of his social programs
Speaker 1: are going to leave, and he's not going to have
Speaker 1: a pool of people. But this is where the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party is over all in this country. It's been taken
Speaker 1: over by these Marxists and these communists. And there's finally
Speaker 1: a tell me if I'm wrong. There's finally a very
Speaker 1: there always was, but now it's the clearest definition between
Speaker 1: the two parties that has ever been. Yes, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
Speaker 14: I'm trying to think of a word that would describe
Speaker 14: the separation between the two parties now a canyon. It's
Speaker 14: there's no reaching out to the left anymore. And you
Speaker 14: talk about the people that are going to be leaving
Speaker 14: New York, Cary, Jeff, what about the cops? You know,
Speaker 14: if if I thought maybe I could get a job
Speaker 14: in Florida or even even upstate New York, you know,
Speaker 14: Syracuse or Alany or somewhere where maybe they're not totally insane,
Speaker 14: because he's talking about defunding the cops, basically getting rid
Speaker 14: of the police department, and it would be a free
Speaker 14: for all. It would be it would be chaos, the anarchy.
Speaker 14: You know, I'm sitting there. I'd have to break out
Speaker 14: my fasaaris here and come.
Speaker 15: Up with some Yeah, I'm just thinking, Dan, I'm thinking
Speaker 15: Duke of New a One, Duke of New York, and
Speaker 15: there's Snake Blisken trying to liberate people from this totalitarian
Speaker 15: dictator who's taken control of what is essentially a maximum
Speaker 15: security prison of eight million people, walled off from the
Speaker 15: rest of the country, and God forbid if any of
Speaker 15: them escape.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just rewatch that one.
Speaker 9: I barely remember it from my youth, so I'll have
Speaker 9: to watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just like a flashback of forty years.
Speaker 1: That's the first thing I thought of. We're talking to
Speaker 1: Danny Hills from Frontline Advisors this morning, and if you
Speaker 1: will indulge me, Dan, we'll be right back after this
Speaker 1: break on fifty five krs the talk station. It's the
Speaker 1: marketers blind advisors here this morning. And Dan in my
Speaker 1: conversation with Corey Bowman, who of course is running from
Speaker 1: mayor of Cincinnati. Yeah, but that would be a heck
Speaker 1: of a shock. It would be a good shock, but
Speaker 1: it would a heck of a shock if that can
Speaker 1: happen in November. Uh. And and he was talking about
Speaker 1: his meeting with a high ranking member of the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: SWAT team about how basically if they're working in conjunction
Speaker 1: with federal teams, they feel embarrassed because of their lack
Speaker 1: of equipment. Did you run into that in your time
Speaker 1: with FOP that there was a problem of not being
Speaker 1: able to get the proper equipment like night vision goggles
Speaker 1: and other vestiments and stuff. What was what were the
Speaker 1: issues back then?
Speaker 7: I'm not going to say quite.
Speaker 1: We're at a level of embarrassment.
Speaker 9: I think we had I was on the swat team
Speaker 9: as a negotiator for twenty years.
Speaker 7: And we we had taken a big step up.
Speaker 1: What I'm going to first started.
Speaker 9: Our our armored vehicle was an old bank truck or
Speaker 9: armored vehicle.
Speaker 1: Oh that had been.
Speaker 9: Adapted, but we we actually got a true vehicle for
Speaker 9: the intended purpose of what we did, and there was
Speaker 9: night vision and things.
Speaker 7: I mean, we can always use better and better equipment.
Speaker 9: I think the one thing that maybe they're referring to
Speaker 9: is the big advancements other agencies have taken in robotics
Speaker 9: and stuff. I think we're still kind of in the
Speaker 9: early stages of that now. Since I've been out of
Speaker 9: the game with SWAT for a number of years.
Speaker 7: Because once I was FOP president wasn't.
Speaker 14: Able to participate in that, I would say I'm not
Speaker 14: your most informed person on where we stand in equipment
Speaker 14: wise with SWATS. So if you were talking to if
Speaker 14: you had a source of information Garry Jeff and that
Speaker 14: source of information was one of the higher ranking people
Speaker 14: in SWAT and they had they had issues, I will
Speaker 14: not be on.
Speaker 7: This radio show debating those issues.
Speaker 1: No, No, I understand. I just wondered if anything had
Speaker 1: changed and we'd taken a step back in the last
Speaker 1: few years instead of not that.
Speaker 14: Like I said, not not that I personally am aware.
Speaker 14: And I said, we had some pretty good equipment. Uh,
Speaker 14: you know, we had the best best and ballistics and
Speaker 14: stuff that I thought was available at the time, with
Speaker 14: some heavy stuff, let me tell you, but it was
Speaker 14: the type of stuff that could actually you know, take
Speaker 14: rifle around from all that, and so uh I felt,
Speaker 14: I felt when I.
Speaker 9: Was with SWAT that we had some pretty good gear. Right,
Speaker 9: There's always something better out there. There's always some new
Speaker 9: generation thing coming in. Like I said, if anything, robotics
Speaker 9: and drones and stuff is the way of the future
Speaker 9: to uh, you know, anything you can do to avoid
Speaker 9: that that confrontation with you know, an armed person that's barricaded,
Speaker 9: especially you know, god forbid they have something high powered
Speaker 9: rifle or whatever. And as we always said the negotiated
Speaker 9: in the negotiating world, time is on our side. The
Speaker 9: actual you know, counting down to an assassination of a
Speaker 9: hostage or something like that, statistically is so so rare
Speaker 9: it's and quite frankly, most of our situations were barricaded person's,
Speaker 9: not true hostage situations. So time is on our side.
Speaker 9: We'd much rather wait somebody out, or if need be,
Speaker 9: do a little tear gas and themount yeah, flash bangs,
Speaker 9: all sorts of different tools we would use to get
Speaker 9: the bad guy to come outside where we had the
Speaker 9: tactical advantage, because going inside made the.
Speaker 14: Made the tactical advantage not as great. I mean, our
Speaker 14: folks were so well trained and are still I'm sure
Speaker 14: very well trained, that we end up taking tactical advantage.
Speaker 14: But the home has a lot of unknowns and so
Speaker 14: if we can we can get a surrender.
Speaker 6: That is the name of the game with negotiations.
Speaker 1: Do you think the Cincinnati Department is still handcuffed and
Speaker 1: hamstrung by the original collaborative?
Speaker 9: You know, I think across the board it's the officers
Speaker 9: on the street feel handcuffed, and is because of they
Speaker 9: have seen they have seen the lack of support when
Speaker 9: there's critical incidents.
Speaker 1: They see the people.
Speaker 9: That are uh, you know, crying out and saying saying
Speaker 9: whatever it takes to.
Speaker 1: Get re elected.
Speaker 14: You know, in the way they've they've built this uh
Speaker 14: mecca of of police questioning in the c c A.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 9: It all it all comes down to, you know, officers,
Speaker 9: do they have the confidence to be proactive, you know,
Speaker 9: stop people, whether that that that stop is for uh,
Speaker 9: you know, an equipment violation or something that manner to
Speaker 9: investigate further. And in the areas where you have a
Speaker 9: lot of drug activity, therefore.
Speaker 7: You know a lot of violence in all locations.
Speaker 14: So uh does the community support the police being proactive,
Speaker 14: because if you're squared away, if you get stop carriage
Speaker 14: just and s over, and you got a license and
Speaker 14: you don't have no warrants and you don't have a
Speaker 14: whole bunch of U of uh meth or crack or
Speaker 14: whatever in your possession, that traffic stop is going to
Speaker 14: be a short one, and it's going to be one
Speaker 14: that is not, you know, a confrontational one.
Speaker 1: When I drive, When I drive in Cincinnati, I always
Speaker 1: make sure that whatever cracker meth I have is is
Speaker 1: under the legal helm. Yeah, keep it at home.
Speaker 7: Gary, You gotta keep your crack, keep your.
Speaker 1: Medal, right right, don't don't drive around with that, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, because because then they're probably going to find
Speaker 1: my my non registered nine millimeter. You don't that either.
Speaker 1: We're talking with Tan Hills. Dan, you got time for
Speaker 1: one more quick segment?
Speaker 7: Oh you bet, Gary je I was always happy to.
Speaker 1: Dan Hills from Frontline Advisors this morning with me on
Speaker 1: fifty five krs C the talk station from front Line
Speaker 1: and Advisors this morning, Dan, are we seeing finally the
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, the fruition of the
Speaker 1: defund the police movement around the country and the false
Speaker 1: George Floyd narrative and everything else that was done to
Speaker 1: this nation, I believe, on purpose to try and defang
Speaker 1: law and order in this country. Is that what we're
Speaker 1: witnessing right now in Cincinnati and elsewhere. Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 14: It's you know, the not that everything was all peaches
Speaker 14: and cream inside the urban areas of this country. But
Speaker 14: the George Floyd, like you said, call whatever riots protests,
Speaker 14: the conspiracy against law and order has handicapped law enforcement.
Speaker 14: And I imagine it will for some time, and you know,
Speaker 14: until people in inner cities start to wake up. And
Speaker 14: there's that's not a good sign what we're seeing in
Speaker 14: New York. You just you know, brought it up earlier.
Speaker 14: When will people that live in these ervan areas. I'm
Speaker 14: not saying that they're going to turn into Donald Trump buttters,
Speaker 14: but when will they start to modify their own party
Speaker 14: to at least believe in law and order again?
Speaker 1: Is the question I think. I think, I think will
Speaker 1: they ever? I mean, I don't know. I believe that
Speaker 1: the citizens of Cincinnati are starting to wake up, I
Speaker 1: really do, and I think the tide is turning. And uh,
Speaker 1: and I think some of the photo op. The photo op.
Speaker 1: Politicians are starting to maybe get get a grip on
Speaker 1: the fact that things are turning around from that defund
Speaker 1: the police sentiment that was so prevalent five years ago.
Speaker 1: I think that they're they're being forced to finally fulfill
Speaker 1: their commitment and their responsibility to public safety. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: saying this optimistically. I hope so, but it seems like
Speaker 1: the tide is turning publicly.
Speaker 14: I think there is a chance, especially you know, in
Speaker 14: Midwestern cities like Cincinnati. I mean, look, I don't think
Speaker 14: Corey Bowman is going to be the next mayor, but
Speaker 14: if he gets more votes than let you know, maybe
Speaker 14: any just ever expected that he would get that, that
Speaker 14: would be a sign here in Cincinnati that people are
Speaker 14: starting to wake up.
Speaker 1: And realize that the long the long.
Speaker 9: Term success of the city is not going to be
Speaker 9: there if people are afraid to go downtown and I
Speaker 9: just don't care to the assles of downtown. And my
Speaker 9: wife and I talked about going going downtown. That means
Speaker 9: we're going to downtown level And or downtown Lebanon, you know,
Speaker 9: and we could park. We know, we could park our car.
Speaker 9: We don't have to worry about getting hit over the
Speaker 9: head or our car getting broke into while we're gone.
Speaker 9: And you know, I know that there there are many
Speaker 9: people who go downtown and even live downtown and have
Speaker 9: a way to being crime victims. But in general, it's
Speaker 9: it's something that I think needs to get improved greatly
Speaker 9: for the city really to maintain success.
Speaker 1: It's a gamble you're not willing to take at this point,
Speaker 1: is what you're saying.
Speaker 7: I just don't feel I just don't feel like it
Speaker 7: most time now.
Speaker 9: If I had a really you know, if I had
Speaker 9: a really, really big reason, if Geary Jeff was, you know,
Speaker 9: having his fiftieth birthday party, right Gary, You're about that,
Speaker 9: about that age.
Speaker 1: If you're a decade and a half ago, where were.
Speaker 14: You, if you were having your if you were having
Speaker 14: a big party downtown or something, I would come down
Speaker 14: there and I would take the chances. I'm not I'm
Speaker 14: not that frightened by the city. But like I said,
Speaker 14: in a general everyday sense of the.
Speaker 1: Word, fifty, I owe you, I owe you, I owe
Speaker 1: you a Drake Dan Hills fifty. That'd be great. I'd
Speaker 1: love to be fifty again. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7: Jeff, you look, you look forward, You look forty to me.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I had no idea you were gay.
Speaker 7: Don't tell my wife.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Dan, thank you so much for being

Speaker 1: It's six minutes past eight o'clock Eastern and our next
Speaker 1: guest is historian, an author of a literary series concerning
Speaker 1: our constitutional republic, because that's what we are. We're not
Speaker 1: a democracy in the way that's bandied about all the time.
Speaker 1: We are a constitutional republic. But are we still This
Speaker 1: historian has examined all of this in the DNA of Democracy,
Speaker 1: which is Volume one. How and why our government was
Speaker 1: made volume two, Shadows of the Acropolis, How and Why
Speaker 1: our government has changed and boy has it? And Volume

Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 10: Oh great to be with you.
Speaker 12: Gary.
Speaker 1: It's always great to have you. Originally, when we were
Speaker 1: going to talk, we were going to talk about ten
Speaker 1: years of Trump since he came down that Golden escalator
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, and we can still do that a
Speaker 1: little bit. It's been actually a pretty good week for
Speaker 1: the president, and that may be understating it. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: on the last week for President Trump and then in
Speaker 1: the ten years since he came down that escalater and
Speaker 1: how he has influenced and possibly steered our nation back
Speaker 1: towards constitutionality if he's done that.
Speaker 10: If I might take a more general view, Gary, I
Speaker 10: would the last week has been tremendous and real great
Speaker 10: signs of America being respected again in the world. In
Speaker 10: the past ten years, if you take a thirty thousand
Speaker 10: foot view, Trump has realigned the Republican Party from being
Speaker 10: a junior partner to the Democrat Party's advanced towards socialism
Speaker 10: to being one more aligned with our founding principles, aligned
Speaker 10: with the Constitution. And at the same time he has
Speaker 10: shattered the Democrat Party from being one that could hide
Speaker 10: it's marched towards socialism, full socialism, to being one that
Speaker 10: Now you have persons like AOC who are plainly and
Speaker 10: Bernie Sanders plainly socialists, and they define themselves by being socialists. Previously,
Speaker 10: if you were LBJ at the time of the Great Society,
Speaker 10: which was a socialist program of redistribution, he had to
Speaker 10: hide the fact that he wanted to be a socialist.
Speaker 10: At the time, I think it was Tom Hayden Gary
Speaker 10: who said, look, if we want to win elections, we
Speaker 10: can't say we're socialists. We have to say we're other
Speaker 10: than socialists. We have to be liberals. Right, say we're liberals,
Speaker 10: but in fact be socialists. Today Trump has done a great,
Speaker 10: great favor to the country. He has brought realigned the
Speaker 10: Republican Party away from the Democrat Party and being more
Speaker 10: what it should be, a constitutional based party.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, yes, sir, no, you go ahead. Sorry, I
Speaker 1: was saying this earlier this morning, Richard, is that before,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the Democrats with their left leanings and
Speaker 1: socialist policies could hide and pretend they were something that
Speaker 1: they weren't. But the lines have never been more clearly defined.
Speaker 1: And I think you see that with the primary election
Speaker 1: on the Democrat primary of this guy Mondni in New
Speaker 1: York City. I mean, you are either. If you're a Democrat,
Speaker 1: you're a Marxist, you're a socialist. If you're a Republican,
Speaker 1: the realigned Republican Party, the MAGA realignment of that party
Speaker 1: through Donald Trump, it's clearly defined. These are the people
Speaker 1: on the side of freedom in the Constitution, and the
Speaker 1: Democrats are not. And there's literally no room for a
Speaker 1: quote moderate Democrat in today's Democrat Party.
Speaker 7: Is there.
Speaker 10: Well, that's the great gift. I think if you take
Speaker 10: the last ten years and think about how remarkable it
Speaker 10: is that he has changed both political parties, and you're
Speaker 10: exactly right in order to win a primary in the
Speaker 10: Democratic Party now, like Mandanmi, Mom, Donnie, I have a
Speaker 10: hard time pronouncing his name. Mam Donni. You have to say,
Speaker 10: I'm going to take everything from the rich and give it.
Speaker 1: To the poor.
Speaker 10: Well, if you have that power, you have power to
Speaker 10: take everything from everybody. Right, it's dictatory in a in
Speaker 10: a way.
Speaker 9: And so.
Speaker 10: I think it's being very well defined by the last
Speaker 10: ten years that they shift of the Republican Party towards
Speaker 10: the Constitution and the shift of the Democrat Party away
Speaker 10: from it is going to help the Republican Party over
Speaker 10: the next ten years at least.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that we will break trends the crystal
Speaker 1: ball out, we will break trends of the opposition party
Speaker 1: winning back Congress in the midterms. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: see how the Democrat Party recovers in time to gain
Speaker 1: control of the House and Senate in twenty six do
Speaker 1: you I think?
Speaker 10: I think Gary, the idea should be to pronounce the
Speaker 10: differences between now and the midterms. Yeah, the difference in
Speaker 10: the differences between red states and blue states and how
Speaker 10: they're performing. And just look at you at law and
Speaker 10: order issue, or the tax issue, or the business flight
Speaker 10: or you know, these these remaining green issues and taxations
Speaker 10: and mandates, these are all things that if they're pronounced
Speaker 10: between now in the midterms, the Republicans are going to
Speaker 10: be very strong. If we can get the big beautiful
Speaker 10: bill through and then have that growth and then in
Speaker 10: the next year work on recision bills to contain spending.
Speaker 10: I think it will have a great showing in the midterms.
Speaker 1: Well, right now, the Senate and the House are battling
Speaker 1: and working over time to try and get the big
Speaker 1: beautiful bill so called past the Trump Agenda, which would
Speaker 1: of course extend President Trump's tax cuts into perpetuity. If
Speaker 1: they don't get it done, this false narrator that this
Speaker 1: is a tax cut for the uberwealthy was what was used.
Speaker 1: This is what was used back in twenty seventeen, and
Speaker 1: it didn't want it didn't work. Then it's I don't
Speaker 1: think it's going to work now, is it.
Speaker 10: Well, the number that needs to get out is that
Speaker 10: this was scored and the average middle class family of
Speaker 10: four will will have thirteen thousand dollars more at their
Speaker 10: discretion than given to a government that will waste it. Yeah,
Speaker 10: and that should be key to this should be the
Speaker 10: big message that you know, with thirteen thousand dollars, this
Speaker 10: is a big difference. Gary, With thirteen thousand dollars, you
Speaker 10: can send your kids to better schools. With thirteen thousand dollars,
Speaker 10: you can repair your house with thirteen thousand dollars you
Speaker 10: can help buy a truck to help your family business
Speaker 10: instead of giving it to the government. And that's the
Speaker 10: difference what they do in government. Oh, I'll take at
Speaker 10: thirteen thousand dollars and as a Democrat, I'm going to
Speaker 10: give it to somebody else who didn't earn it. That's
Speaker 10: the Democrats. The Republican should be. You get your money back,
Speaker 10: and that is freedom, That is freedom of choice.
Speaker 1: The best thing about the Doge movement movement in my idea,
Speaker 1: and this is another product of President Trump being president,
Speaker 1: was Dogee is that people finally got to see how
Speaker 1: their tax money. And you say, you take that thirteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and we'll give it to the poor. No,
Speaker 1: we're going to take that thirteen thousand dollars and we're
Speaker 1: going to launder it and return it, return it to
Speaker 1: our political cronies and ourselves by claiming it's foreign aid.
Speaker 1: I mean all of this, you know, million dollars here,
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars there for transgender turtles in Guatemala,
Speaker 1: and all of the laughable, all of the other nonsense.
Speaker 1: And you're right, this recision bill that is coming down
Speaker 1: after the big tax cut bill, the big beautiful bill,
Speaker 1: is going to be terribly important to continuing the agenda
Speaker 1: of responsibility. Finally, in our federal government, I just don't
Speaker 1: know if they're capable of doing it.
Speaker 10: Richard, Well, the hardest thing for a government to do
Speaker 10: is to downsize, and the hardest thing for someone in
Speaker 10: power to do is to give up power. But you're
Speaker 10: exactly right. It is the end game of socialism that
Speaker 10: they say they're taking all the money that people earn
Speaker 10: for the poor, but in fact, in the end game,
Speaker 10: it's always for themselves. I mean, all you have to
Speaker 10: do is look at Castro or look to the example
Speaker 10: of Venezuela. It's always the head person and his cronies
Speaker 10: around him that get all the money, and then they
Speaker 10: use the rest of the money in police state to
Speaker 10: lock everybody down. And that's socialism. That's the reality. So
Speaker 10: when they're coming out now, this is the great gift
Speaker 10: of Trump to go back to the first question. They
Speaker 10: have to be who they are now by definition, they
Speaker 10: have to come out and they have to say I
Speaker 10: am socialist and this is what I want to do.
Speaker 10: But we have to define Okay, you want to take
Speaker 10: eighty percent of the money we earn, what are you
Speaker 10: going to do with it? It has to be defined
Speaker 10: that it actually goes to Stacy Abrams and her friends.
Speaker 1: All right, there we are in the subject of transgender
Speaker 1: turtles again, Richard, Yes exactly? Can you hold on for
Speaker 1: another segment? Real quick?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 10: Certain?
Speaker 1: Okay, great, more with historian Richard Lyons, author of the
Speaker 1: DNA of Democracy, Shadows of the Acropolis and Passages through
Speaker 1: the Shadows, talking about ten years of Trump and what
Speaker 1: that has meant for our country in a very positive way.
Speaker 1: Gary Jeff for Brian Thomas. This morning. It's eight seventeen
Speaker 1: on fifty five KRC the Talk station. A few minutes
Speaker 1: with Richard C. Lyons, author of Passages through the Shadows,
Speaker 1: the third part in his trilogy on constitutional and democratic
Speaker 1: government and to what it was intended to be, its
Speaker 1: history and where we are now? And Richard, I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you real quick. We talked about President Trump's
Speaker 1: really exceptional week, from the successful military operation last weekend
Speaker 1: to the eventual ceasefire that still seems to be holding
Speaker 1: between Israel and Iran, and then the NATO success, and
Speaker 1: not only the NATO success of him getting almost all
Speaker 1: of those NATO countries to agree to five percent contribution
Speaker 1: of their GDP for their own defense and for the
Speaker 1: safety of Europe, but also the Supreme Court decisions that
Speaker 1: have come down in the President's favor, and there have
Speaker 1: been a few of those. Did you were you in
Speaker 1: support of what the President was doing in regards to
Speaker 1: stopping Iran's nuclear program and was this an important step
Speaker 1: in keeping us safe?
Speaker 10: In your use, Oh yeah absolutely. I wrote a book,
Speaker 10: Gary Colbott, By the Chance of War, and Part four
Speaker 10: was a prophecy that looks exactly like what would have
Speaker 10: happened if Iran had continued to having a nuclear capability.
Speaker 10: The thing that Trump looked at it and saw that
Speaker 10: they would have a launchable bomb within weeks. And if
Speaker 10: that happened, if Iran had had even one nuclear weapon,
Speaker 10: the whole game would have changed to one of being
Speaker 10: Iran being able to call Washington, DC and saying, unless
Speaker 10: you send me skins of money like Obama did, I'm
Speaker 10: going to send this nuke into Jerusalem and incinerate it.
Speaker 10: And that sort of blackmail is something we would have
Speaker 10: been subject to for the rest of time. And so
Speaker 10: I think it was a national victory and it was
Speaker 10: an international victory that Trump went in with great daring
Speaker 10: and great precision, and God bless those pilots who you know,
Speaker 10: I think they were in the air for thirty seven hours,
Speaker 10: wasn't yes, and then drop that ordnance with such precision
Speaker 10: to take out all the threats that ran posed with
Speaker 10: their nuclear production.
Speaker 1: And the thing is that it was not an overnight thing,
Speaker 1: even though it occurred in thirty seven hours time. This
Speaker 1: had been in the planning stages since two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine by the military. These pilots had
Speaker 1: been in simulators for thirty seven hours facing fire that
Speaker 1: they never had to face because Israel had already done
Speaker 1: a great job of knocking out Iran's air defense system
Speaker 1: so the btwos could get in undetected. But this was
Speaker 1: a result of many years. You know, you always say
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as an overnight success, But it
Speaker 1: took President Trump to finally define that this was the
Speaker 1: time to do it. And it was so well done.
Speaker 1: The deception that was used, I think it was just
Speaker 1: absolutely remarkable and very very necessary.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and if you take, if you take again a
Speaker 10: thirty thousand foot view, this all goes back to October seventh,
Speaker 10: doesn't it. Yes, And then you know the Israelis being
Speaker 10: able to take out Hamas, turn around, take out Hezbollah,
Speaker 10: then answer Iran's missile attacks by taking out all of
Speaker 10: Iran's defensive systems so that they literally they had no
Speaker 10: defense in the air, and then for our team to
Speaker 10: go in and take out the nuclear installations.
Speaker 1: I think it's just a.
Speaker 10: Remarkable history that shows you what can happen when countries
Speaker 10: of virtue stick together, defend each other and take out
Speaker 10: a predator.
Speaker 1: You have a piece talking about Democrats in California burning
Speaker 1: the US constitutional Richard, And yes, we don't have an
Speaker 1: extremely amount of a large amount of time, but how
Speaker 1: exactly are they doing that?
Speaker 10: Well, it is the first duty of government and this
Speaker 10: is why. And if you look at the Declaration of
Speaker 10: Independence and the Constitution, it states in the first paragraph
Speaker 10: that the first duty of government is to protect the life,
Speaker 10: property and.
Speaker 6: Oh what is it?
Speaker 10: The rights, life, liberty, and property of its citizens. Yes, right,
Speaker 10: that's both in the Declaration and in the Constitution. It
Speaker 10: is the first office of government. So what did Biden
Speaker 10: do during his presidency? He abdicated his office as commander
Speaker 10: in chief by opening up the southern border. He abdicated
Speaker 10: his office as the chief law enforcement officer of the
Speaker 10: country by not fulfilling his duty in the execution of
Speaker 10: the law. So he burned down the American constitution doing that.
Speaker 10: When you set up sanctuary states and cities, you are
Speaker 10: abdicating the office. In California, in Illinois, in Oregon and
Speaker 10: Washington and all these sanctuary states and cities. The governors
Speaker 10: and the mayors are literally abdicating their first duty of
Speaker 10: office because all of the state constitutions and all of
Speaker 10: the city charters mimic our Declaration of Independence and our
Speaker 10: federal Constitution in demanding that those officers defend their citizens
Speaker 10: and protect them secure that space. And what they've done
Speaker 10: is allowed a criminal network to operate in all those
Speaker 10: sanctuary cities that are in line with each other. They're
Speaker 10: in communication with each other, and they're dealing drugs, they're
Speaker 10: dealing in sexual slavery, and in all sorts of criminal acts,
Speaker 10: whereas businesses aren't even on Michigan Avenue anymore in Chicago
Speaker 10: because they know they'll get broken into and looted. It's
Speaker 10: really it's criminal, and it's it's they literally are burning
Speaker 10: their constitutions and charters.
Speaker 1: Richard Lyons, I appreciate so much your historical perspective and
Speaker 1: the view from thirty thousand feet up. As you say,
Speaker 1: this has been great. And as we conclude, I want
Speaker 1: you to know that my wife just noted that you
Speaker 1: said duty, and I'm trying to explain it to her
Speaker 1: that it's duty right. But thank you so much for
Speaker 1: your time this morning, Richard c. Lyons.
Speaker 10: Oh, thank you, Gary very much.
Speaker 1: You bet. We continue with JT. Young, one of the
Speaker 1: more thoughtful writers on the American scene in a conservative bent,
Speaker 1: coming up right after the break here on fifty five
Speaker 1: KRCV talk station, Scott, good morning, great to be with
Speaker 1: you again, Gary, jeff in for Brian Thomas. His latest
Speaker 1: piece out yesterday in The Hill entitled What's the Democrats problem?
Speaker 1: It's the spending stupid? Just another example of this guy's writing.
Speaker 1: He's one of the more thoughtful conservative opinion makers on
Speaker 1: the scene, I think, and when it comes to finance
Speaker 1: and opinion, no one better than JT. Young. And he
Speaker 1: joins us now for a few minutes on this Friday morning. JT.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 9: I am fine and always better when I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Care that's very nice of you. You were talking about
Speaker 1: the Democrats problem spending. The Republicans are having a problem
Speaker 1: with some spending in this big, beautiful bill. But the
Speaker 1: reason they're having a problem, it's been years of what
Speaker 1: we're finding out is money laundering, mostly by the Democrats.
Speaker 1: And I was just talking with Richard Lyons, who was
Speaker 1: another guy I respect his opinion very much about the
Speaker 1: first ten years of President Trump on the scene politically,
Speaker 1: in what he has done and been able to do
Speaker 1: to realign the parties, both parties and people kept on asking,
Speaker 1: and I was one of them who was actually president
Speaker 1: from January of twenty twenty one until when President Trump
Speaker 1: took back over the Oval office. And there's no question
Speaker 1: about who's in charge now in the executive branch, but
Speaker 1: who was really in charge it More and more I'm
Speaker 1: thinking it wasn't. It wasn't Obama, it wasn't any of
Speaker 1: the aides. It was President Gee of China. What do
Speaker 1: you think about that theory?
Speaker 9: Well, I'm not sure I would go quite that far,
Speaker 9: but I certainly think that China has had an undue
Speaker 9: influence in American politics. And I think you know what
Speaker 9: we have seen at the beginning of this second Trump
Speaker 9: administration has been an abrupt break with that, and it
Speaker 9: has definitely caused a lot of consternation in Washington, and
Speaker 9: I think among a lot of the elite who see
Speaker 9: a relationship that they have grown very comfortable with by
Speaker 9: importing cheap Chinese products and selling them obviously at a
Speaker 9: profit here, and that this has caused a great deal
Speaker 9: of concern amongst them.
Speaker 1: Well, we have worried out loud, many have worried about
Speaker 1: things like Iranian sleeper cells because of the open border,
Speaker 1: of the unvetted border, and we know that many many
Speaker 1: Iranians came here and many of them got away and
Speaker 1: were released into the country. But the other reason I
Speaker 1: make this assertion that it's a possibility that g was
Speaker 1: actually in charge of our country for four years or
Speaker 1: had undue control over what went on at the White House,
Speaker 1: is because there were also some twenty six to thirty
Speaker 1: thousand male Chinese people men that came into this country
Speaker 1: and were scattered about in this open border policy of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And that does not happen without the acquiescence
Speaker 1: of the Chinese government, does it.
Speaker 9: No? No, And you're you're certainly absolutely right about that,
Speaker 9: and I have written about this.
Speaker 12: Throughout the year.
Speaker 9: I think, you know, China's China's threat to the US.
Speaker 9: It has been very clear. I mean, I think it's
Speaker 9: been very explicit as well. It's coming from China. There's
Speaker 9: there's no question they are looking to be the dominant
Speaker 9: world power. And to your point, with the open border
Speaker 9: policy that we saw, where I think, you know, conservatively
Speaker 9: ten million people cross the border under the Biden administration,
Speaker 9: and we truly don't know how many as got away.
Speaker 9: We're never never cabulated, but we know to your point,
Speaker 9: tens of thousands of Chinese came in. We also know
Speaker 9: that people on the terrorists watch list have been apprehended,
Speaker 9: but that doesn't tell us anything about the ones that weren't.
Speaker 9: And certainly Middle Eastern illegal immigrants have come in as well.
Speaker 9: Everybody knew the border was wide open. And I think
Speaker 9: as we have seen from the two most recent attacks,
Speaker 9: the one in Ukraine the one by israel An Operation
Speaker 9: Rising Lion, both of these were done first. The first
Speaker 9: strikes were done by drones released within the country they
Speaker 9: were attacking, and both the Ukrainians and the Israelis had,
Speaker 9: you know, a brilliant espionage and planning an execution to
Speaker 9: get these drones in Well, they would have faced no
Speaker 9: such problem getting them into the US because the border
Speaker 9: was wide open. These things could have been easily obtained
Speaker 9: in the US. So I think it's very clear that
Speaker 9: there is a very real threat. The war has changed
Speaker 9: a lot, and I think our defensive posture has always been,
Speaker 9: I think correctly outward looking, and now needs to be
Speaker 9: more inward looking, as we have just seen from these
Speaker 9: two most recent attacks.
Speaker 1: All right, JT, if you will indulge me and we'll
Speaker 1: take a quick break and come back and we will
Speaker 1: talk about your piece in the Hill about what's the
Speaker 1: Democrats problem. It's the spending stupid As it regards the
Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill. They didn't seem to have a problem
Speaker 1: with that crisis level spending during the Build Back Better
Speaker 1: Bill back in twenty one, did they No. Eight thirty
Speaker 1: eight Gary Jeffin from Brian on fifty five KRC the
Speaker 1: Talk station. Hey, j T. Young, his latest peace in
Speaker 1: the Hill talking to Democrats problem, it's the spending stupid
Speaker 1: and JT welcome back. It was mentioned that if these
Speaker 1: tax cuts go into effect that are in the Big
Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill, the package that's now being debated and bandied
Speaker 1: about and argued about in the Senate. If they go
Speaker 1: into effect, the average American family of four will have
Speaker 1: an extra thirteen thousand dollars at their disposal if they
Speaker 1: don't pass this, hopefully by next week. If they don't
Speaker 1: pass it, everybody's taxes are going to be dramatically higher.
Speaker 1: You right, after four years of crisis level spending, Democrats
Speaker 1: now worry about deficits and debt. Strange, isn't it. The
Speaker 1: democrats selective attention shows clearly that their priority is not
Speaker 1: deficits and debt, but preserving bloated spending and raising taxes
Speaker 1: to pay for it. If you can allow on what
Speaker 1: the Democrats really are doing and what their problem is,
Speaker 1: go ahead, please sure.
Speaker 9: Thank you so much for the opportunity, Gary, Jeff. What
Speaker 9: we're really seeing here and nobody is talking about it,
Speaker 9: certainly not the Democrats, is they're playing a game with
Speaker 9: what's called baselines and what they're really wanting to call
Speaker 9: this bill a tax cut when in reality, this bill,
Speaker 9: short of knowing all the particulars in it, but in
Speaker 9: its basic form, is really trying to keep taxes from
Speaker 9: going up. They would expire. It the tax breaks that
Speaker 9: were enacted in twenty seventeen would expire at the end
Speaker 9: of this year, so taxes would revert to their pre
Speaker 9: tax cut level. So you're not getting a tax cut.
Speaker 9: This is not a tax cut, it's a tax rate
Speaker 9: maintenance bill. But Democrats know onto the baseline assuming tax
Speaker 9: rates go up, So they called this an amazing deficit increase,
Speaker 9: debt increase. It's not. It's just keeping rates where they were.
Speaker 9: It's that simple. But this is a game that's played
Speaker 9: in Washington over baselines, so they've chosen a different baseline.
Speaker 9: Strangely enough, they didn't have the same compunction about baselines
Speaker 9: when it came to their four years of spending. And
Speaker 9: we should have reverted back to a pre COVID baseline,
Speaker 9: in other words, spending at the rate we were spending
Speaker 9: before the pandemic hits. Democrats refused to do this, and
Speaker 9: by doing it, they padded trillions of dollars of debt
Speaker 9: and deficits into the country over the last four years,
Speaker 9: and they want to keep it at that level. So
Speaker 9: what they need is a tax actually increase to help
Speaker 9: pay for and offset some of those costs. So that's
Speaker 9: what they're trying to neatly do now with this game
Speaker 9: of calling keeping tax rates at the same rate that
Speaker 9: they are right now, they're trying to call that a
Speaker 9: tax increase and stop it and pocket that money to
Speaker 9: offset the spending they want to keep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's simple. And the Recision Bill that is following afterwards,
Speaker 1: JT is very important when it comes to possibly looking
Speaker 1: at seriously reducing our national debt. I mean, isn't the
Speaker 1: Precision Bill just I mean, if we get the big
Speaker 1: beautiful bill and the baseline tax cuts remaining the same
Speaker 1: as what happened in twenty seventeen, we get those to
Speaker 1: stay the same, and then we get them to actually
Speaker 1: start cutting some of these bloated doze items that are
Speaker 1: in the Recision Bill. I mean, they have to almost
Speaker 1: be passed together, don't they, for it to really be
Speaker 1: meaningful to the American taxpayer.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we're What we need to see is
Speaker 9: a concerted four year effort to pair back the spending
Speaker 9: just back to the trajectory that zoned prior to COVID.
Speaker 9: That's all we're talking about. Yeah, and that's all we
Speaker 9: really need to do. But to your point, we need
Speaker 9: to have spending cuts inside the Big Beautiful Bill, and
Speaker 9: I think they're going to try to get as many
Speaker 9: as their political low leverage will.
Speaker 12: Allow them to do.
Speaker 9: They have tight majorities, that's just a political reality. They
Speaker 9: need to get all they can in that. And then
Speaker 9: to your point, we need to pursue more recision bills.
Speaker 9: We need to do this one. We need to see
Speaker 9: anything that they couldn't get into the Big Beautiful Bill
Speaker 9: that needs to come in the recision bills. This has
Speaker 9: to be an ongoing effort if we're serious, and we
Speaker 9: need to be. We should be the entire strength of
Speaker 9: America's economy and the military that rests on top of it,
Speaker 9: kind of where we were starting our conversation earlier. All
Speaker 9: of that lives on top of an economy. If you
Speaker 9: don't have a strong economy underneath, everything else falls apart
Speaker 9: as well. So we need this, and we need to
Speaker 9: get the deficits and debt and back in order and
Speaker 9: to a reasonable level. And so we need to pursue
Speaker 9: the spending cuts all that we can, and the Big
Speaker 9: Beautiful Bill. We need to do the recision bill that
Speaker 9: you just mentioned, And you're so absolutely right. It is
Speaker 9: important and it's important that we keep doing this over
Speaker 9: the next four years. There need to be more recision
Speaker 9: bills behind this.
Speaker 1: And finally talking to JT. Young this morning, Finally, JT.
Speaker 1: There have been some very important as the session comes
Speaker 1: to a close Scotis Supreme Court decisions, And for those
Speaker 1: of us who are pro life, I thought it was very,
Speaker 1: very significant that the Supreme Court just voted six to
Speaker 1: three no surprise there, that states do have the right
Speaker 1: to defund planned parenthood. Who are you know among the
Speaker 1: things that they do the murder of unborn babies. I
Speaker 1: think this is a huge week for Supreme Court decisions,
Speaker 1: and we still got a few more to come, don't.
Speaker 9: We Yes, And I think I think you're going to
Speaker 9: see the Left is going to rue the day that
Speaker 9: they took this administration to court. So frequently, that's always
Speaker 9: been their knee jerk reaction. They've done it for decades.
Speaker 9: But I think they have failed to take into account
Speaker 9: that Trump's strongest majority is not in the Senate, it's
Speaker 9: not in the House, it wasn't even in his popuer
Speaker 9: vote victory. It's in the Supreme Court. And the more
Speaker 9: of these cases that they take to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 9: the more, they're going to find that Trump is winning,
Speaker 9: that he's creating precedents for future victories, and even where
Speaker 9: he gets setbacks, they are going to give him information
Speaker 9: as to how he can tweak his approach and then
Speaker 9: make it compliant with the Supreme Court's rulings. So I
Speaker 9: think exactly what you said on planned parenthood, big victory there.
Speaker 9: It's about time, and I think you're going to find
Speaker 9: more and more of these rolling through the more cases
Speaker 9: that get up to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Well, the biggest one is can these lower courts make
Speaker 1: rulings for the entire nation basically and pretending that they're
Speaker 1: the president or they're the Supreme Court. I think some
Speaker 1: justices in the Supreme Court are going to have some
Speaker 1: issues with lower courts thinking that they're the supreme court
Speaker 1: of the land.
Speaker 9: I think you're absolutely right. I mean, I think there's
Speaker 9: certainly nothing constitutional about having any court anywhere being able
Speaker 9: to make nation wide ruleings that go beyond the jurisdiction
Speaker 9: of the court itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, JT. Young, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 1: As always, my friend, I'm glad you could join us
Speaker 1: this morning, and we'll look forward to reading more as
Speaker 1: you are, like I said, one of the most thoughtful
Speaker 1: conservative writers on the scene. I believe.
Speaker 9: Thank you, Thank you so much, Gary Jeff.
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. Hey you two, it's about ten
Speaker 1: till we'll take a quick break and come back to
Speaker 1: wrap up. Gary jeffin for Brian fifty five krs the
Speaker 1: talk station. The forecast of the last two days. It's
Speaker 1: going to be hot, near record tempts. I have ninety
Speaker 1: two and that means the eat index up around one
Speaker 1: hundred and tow one hundred and two. We will cool
Speaker 1: off a tad and I mean like two or three
Speaker 1: degrees as we roll through the weekend. It's very hot,
Speaker 1: very humid, already seventy three degrees. And here's one Chinel
Speaker 1: final check on the.
Speaker 11: Roads from the U SEE Health Traffic Center. At you
Speaker 11: See Health, you'll find comprehensive care that's so personal it
Speaker 11: makes your best tomorrow possible. That's boundless care for better outcomes.
Speaker 11: Expect more at you seehealth dot com. I'm salting traffic
Speaker 11: a little heavy and slow on I seventy five southbound
Speaker 11: between the Lachland split in Town Street. Otherwise you don't
Speaker 11: look too bad. You're moving pretty well through the area.
Speaker 11: As you travel on southbound seventy five. It's less than
Speaker 11: a fifteen minute drive from Sharonville to downtown. I'm Heather
Speaker 11: Pasco on fifty five KR see the talk station.
Speaker 1: But really it's not the heat, it's the stupidity. My
Speaker 1: wife doesn't like clothes, and so I mean pretty much
Speaker 1: anytime of the year, not just during heat emergencies or
Speaker 1: heat advisories. If she's at home, she doesn't wear very much,
Speaker 1: and that's fine, but she doesn't go out of the
Speaker 1: house naked. And this must be a result of the
Speaker 1: current heat dome over most of the United States. Dayline Spartanburg,
Speaker 1: South Carolina Police Department there said an attempted murder suspect
Speaker 1: in custody after an incident early Wednesday. At the scene,
Speaker 1: officers found Zachary Hughes standing naked on top of a
Speaker 1: vehicle with the firearm. If that doesn't say come grab me,
Speaker 1: I don't know what does. Miss Guaite, Texas police say
Speaker 1: an unclothed man read naked stole an ambulance from a
Speaker 1: North Texas hospital on Monday, let officers on a chase
Speaker 1: into a neighboring county. Madisonville Kentucky Police Department there arrested
Speaker 1: a man who assaulted an officer and tried to grab
Speaker 1: their gun and taser. Officers dispatched in response to a
Speaker 1: possible domestic situation last Friday evening. When they arrived, they
Speaker 1: found a naked man later identified as Robert Grigsby, shoving
Speaker 1: two other men to get past them into an apartment.
Speaker 1: What is it with it? And it doesn't stop there? Further,
Speaker 1: a Philadelphia woman faces charges related to motor vehicle theft
Speaker 1: after she was found naked in the driver's seat of
Speaker 1: a vehicle that had been reported stolen. Amy Burnham, aged
Speaker 1: thirty nine. Oh my goodness, I'm looking at the mugshots.
Speaker 1: She doesn't look good with clothes on. Arrested and charged
Speaker 1: with motor vehicle theft the Chevy Tahoe. We don't have
Speaker 1: those seats cleaned really really well before? Did they get
Speaker 1: returned after used as evidence in her trial? Try and
Speaker 1: keep your clothes on. And I know it's hot, but
Speaker 1: it really doesn't help your court case. If they arrest
Speaker 1: you and you're already naked, you'll get the strip shart
Speaker 1: soon enough. Have a fantastic weekend. Enjoy Glenn Beck Next
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you maybe sometime in July when
Speaker 1: Brian's out again. Gary, Jeff san Zion, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Stay cool, fifty five krs the talk Station. Still we
