Speaker 1 (00:03):
And it is literally almost time for Christmas. I think
it flew by this year.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It did.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
It's an age thing, it really is.

Speaker 4 (00:10):
We get the fat kids.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's just like like like car payments, Like did I
just make that car?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Right?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Darn it, I've gone and it's here already. It's thirty days.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wise, well, this is my last time on the show
for the rest of the year because I will be
in Nashville the day after Christmas.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Yeah, it worked out really well.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
We get to go stay in a condo as an
organization that I volunteer with and help out sometimes to
MC their events. They surprised me and said, hey, you
were going to try to bid on this. I got
out bid, but then the lady who outbid me ended
up not.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Able to go, so they let go.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
So I get to go to Nashville with the family.
We've never been away over Christmas like this, so it's
not actually your day, it's the day after, so it'll
be that long weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
So well, you might have a lot have.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
A little gift for you, but see, Merry Christmas. Oh boy,
I always try to get you something around Christmas time.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I got a joint gift with you.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
What is it boots and something cloth. You'll laugh at this.
Wait there's something else in.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Wait, wait, okay, what's it?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Say? Cougar Strong, Cougar Strong, Crystal Way basketball, Baby, I
got you at Cougar shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I could wear that.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
That's Randy's team. They still haven't won yet.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Did you give me a neo? No? Please?

Speaker 4 (01:27):
No, one needs to see that. There's something else in there, right,
I think this is cool. There's one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, what's that means?

Speaker 4 (01:38):
It's a chopped up that boots his favorite number. And
that's the year we were born. Don't forget that. Sixty
eight is the year.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
We were Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I thought I saw that and thought of that for you,
and so we can just hang that somewhere if you
have space around your sta.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
So I put my buddy Scoop up to this. He
went on and got your Christmas gifts. I didn't know
what to get you, because he always does. I say, okay, Scoop,
you're in charge of it.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
So you did. Listen, this is from Scoop.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I'm sure that's fine. We want to say it's Scoop.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
He does this every year, something that he make a
painting again.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
All right, hold on, well we haven't had mice since
that one.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
So other than luck, this is to you, this says Boots.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
You won't understand, okay to open that on that one, George,
I gave you. I stuffed mine in there.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
What is it? What is it?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Day?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
It's it's a little shaw something.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
You would wear. I think he did a good job
picking that up.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Thank you, Boots, I mean thank you Scoop.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
To give Scoop all the grandits one, that's very good.
I had to buy him a bunch of beers that
she ate that well.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
For some people, Boots, Christmas came early because Ice has
been in town and so many people are excited about it.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Other people are not.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Had a full sled full of illegal protesting.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
There's been a lot of protesting, and of course by
now most of you have probably seen the video that
Columbus Mary Ander Ginther put out along.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
With the police chief, basically telling immigrants.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
What to do if they're approached by ICE and also
saying that we will not take part in any help
with Ice, that they are not going to help.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
And then that is really.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Cool, thanks Scoop.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah, that's awesome. Scoop's so thoughtful. Does such a great job.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
With gifts. So then the FLP president Brian Steele put
out his own statement. So to explain that statement, we
have Brian Steele on the air with us.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Brian, are you with us right now? And Merry Christmas?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
If you are, I am, Merry Christmas. Great here from
you guys.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
You haven't heard from you for a while.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
You just had them on the Great Today. My New
York Giants are playing my old boy, Jack Steele's Home
from the Marines. Were a good day to be American home.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
You know what, I didn't know your son was in
the Marines. My dad was in the Marines, Brian, no
doubt stand And I love that.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I'm a marine too, So Sember five.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
And you're the best FOP president ever walked the plan.
And I'm not kissing your you know what. I think
you're awesome that you stand up to the plate and
you don't put up with any of the bs.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
In fact, brings us to the point of what you did.
You put out a statement. Basically summarize the statement for
our listeners and why you decided to put this out.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, so listen, at the end of the day, we
take an oath, we take an oath to the constitution
of the State of Ohio, the United States of American
and we follow our policies and laws. And some people
got upset for me for saying that some people in
administrations throughout the county thought I was going against their narrative.
The officers, we're non partisan, we're not political. We don't

(04:41):
have a narrative. We follow laws. We follow policies, period
and if you don't like those, change those laws, change
those policies. My personal opinion on this means nothing. I
represent cops. Cops' personal opinions mean nothing. We're going to
follow the law, and we're going to follow our oath.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
And if they don't like it the way they do,
change the law. Change the law.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, So, Brian, I saw some video of where Ice
is staying in Columbus at an embassy suite, and then
these protesters decided to follow them back to their hotel
and blair music and play instruments and be extremely loud
through the night so they would have a hard time sleeping.

(05:22):
Your thoughts of that, And isn't that can't they be
arrested for disturbing peace through the night?

Speaker 4 (05:27):
I mean, isn't there like a noise ordnance.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, so two parts here. One, I think about the
ICE agents, and I think about all the other people
in that hotel, that their only crime, their only transgression,
where they were trying to get a night's sleep, whether
you were an ICE agent or just the everyday member
of the public. Now, I am not going to second
guy was not on scene, so I don't want a
second guess. I don't want to criticize the commander on scene,

(05:54):
the lieutenant on scene. Had I been on the scene,
this is how it would have went down. I would
have send our dialogue team to have discussion, discussion with
the protesters, let them know you can peacefully protest, but
you cannot disrupt the public. We have a noise organs.
I would have gave them a warning. I would have
came back. I would issue a summons. If they continued
their activity per our policy, I would have came back.

(06:17):
I would have seized all those noise to faces and
I would have taken every single one of them to jail.
That was not listening to our laws, our commands, and
we're disrupting the public. We cannot allow this.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yes, that's what I thought. I thought.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
They can't really do that because there.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Was at least ready for this. Five people on Shrock
Road the other day protesting ICE five, and they remind
me of the guy that can't give up smoking cigarettes
because they're out in this ice cold weather holding up
signs that nobody cares about, you know, but at those
five people, Yeah, protests, enjoy yourself, don't bother me any Have.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
You yourself talked to any of the ICE agents? Are
they finding people here? I did see there was a
report of two people that they did apprehend, and and
you know, there's been kind of different dialogue. Are they
going out after the worst of the worst or are
there just innocent people that they're taking away? Because you're here,
you know, Brian, you hear everything, and you just don't

(07:09):
know what's.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
True and what's not.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Honestly, I don't know, and I wouldn't know. I don't
know what kind of immigration laws are being filed there.
There's federal agents right now in town for the I
R S and they're going after individuals for tax fraud,
which has nothing to do with local police. There's FBI
guys right now probably going after individuals for piracy laws

(07:32):
also something my members don't enforce, but if they called
for emergency assistants or had a criminal they needed apprehension,
we have to go. And that was my point. If
the officers, if I'm right now in trouble and I'm
on the radio saying I need help, I'm in danger,
I would expect every ICE agent, every IRS agent, every
FBI agent who hears that call to respond. That's what

(07:55):
the politicians, I think, don't quite understand. That's not taking sides.
We have an option deligation to back up law enforcement officers,
no matter where they're from, if they're in danger right now.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Is it's still true that the officers all have a
button that they can push officer in distress where everyone
responds if that button's.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Pushed, we do police officers do, right, I'm not sure.
I can't speak for the federal agents police officers.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Do, because I've seen that happen, and I've seen state
troopers roll in. I've seen them all roll in. I've
seen county, you know, township. If they hit that button,
they're all there, which it should be.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, that's exactly everybody suburbs. It doesn't matter, and nobody says, hey,
hold on a second, what was the crime.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
For with it?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
A civil crime. Do I have to do? I have jurisdiction.
We all respond immediately for order, make sure everybody's safe,
and then we go about our way.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Well, thank you for everything you do, and thank you
for doing that, and then thank you for joining us
next Saturday on our big DUI show with our great
friends at the Franklin County Sheriffs, so we'll all be together.
We'll probably touch on that a little bit with you
next week too. So I appreciate everything you do. Thanks
for having the you know what word among form Mandy.
I can't say what I would say.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
I know what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah, for standing up right and saying what's right. That's
the problem. Facts are facts.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
The courage, Yeah, the courage.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Because you're probably getting a lot of pushback.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I guarantee what you might be getting a lot of pushback,
but you've got a lot of people who agree with
you to when you posted this statement, and there were
so many comments that I saw, I'm going to say
it was eighty five to ninety percent in favor of you,
thanking you for taking the stand that you did. I mean,
this has gone nationally. Baron Trump even retweeted the thing

(09:34):
about Andrew Ginther. Yeah, the mayor and the police chief
saying what is Columbus doing a lot of federal people
and well known personalities across the country are reposting the
mayor's video saying, what in the heck are you doing?

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Columbus.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
So anyway, and everybody listen, if if someone argues the
fact that they're they're not bad people, they're just illegal immigrants.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Ready e legal.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
There's the first law that's broke, so even they could
Maybe they're not rapists, maybe they're not drug dealers, maybe
they're not prisoners from something something.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Stand they're still they're still bad that they're they're illegal.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
My family is from Italy. They were migrants. They all
came over the right way. My grandpa and grandpa used to.
My grandpa and grandma used to, they came over on
the boat. That the Eric came on the boat.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
It's doing it the right way.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Brian, enjoy that time, love your marine son, and Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Thank you so much, guys. Merry Christmas.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right, take care of this raw Indian boots.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
We got Columbus Care Patrol and some of his great
clients are going to join us on a great story
because we promote these guys and girls. But you know what,
when we love hearing the juice that comes out once
it gets all done in the right way. So this
