Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Seven hundred wl W back on the big One.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Dan Jarrelntro, Bill Cunningham, the Great American, and everyone's got
a little more pep in their step today after I
don't know if anyone was really expecting to see what
we saw last night on Thursday Night Football, but thank
god it happened. I like to call it the Senior Bowl,
where you had the oldest player in the NFL. Joe
Flacca might be the second oldest player in the NFL,

(00:30):
but in any case, they are running around like they
were twenty years younger than what they really were. A
great game last night, Bengals win. Here to break it down,
my buddy from ESPN fifteen thirty Moegor and Moegar.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Glad to be here.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I guess there's probably about a dozen different ways you
can look at the way this game went down last night,
but probably the most important thing, of course, is the
scoreboard and the Bengals chuck up a very important win,
badly needed in many ways.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Psychologically perhaps first and foremost for the players, for the organization,
for fans, but mechanically speaking. I don't know that if
we were sitting here this happen, and then talking about
the Bengals being two and five with five consecutive losses,
that we're not talking about the season being over quite frankly.
You know, we were on yesterday a Lance McAllister Rocky

(01:21):
and I from the Holy Grail talking about the difference
between being three and four and two and five was
more than just one win in either column if they
had lost that game last night. I think today we're
talking about who they may trade away, whether or not
this may completely unravel. We're maybe talking about who's going

(01:42):
to lose their job, and instead I think I think
most Bengals fans are going, all right, you know, you
look at that Jets game a week from Sunday, They're
going to be favored the Bengals. The Chicago game is winnable.
You start to look at the AFC North, which is
a little bit wide or open then it would have
been at Pittsburgh won that game last night. You look

(02:02):
at the rest of the AFC, which isn't the better
half of the league, I don't think, and you start
to talk about, you know, can they keep this thing
afloat a little bit longer for Joe Burrow to come back,
and can this offense takeoff even Further, given what we've
seen over the last six quarters from from Joe Flacco,
it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
The game did not get off to a great start.
Pittsburgh's got the ball first. Aaron Rodgers flings out just
a little checkdown pass to receiver out in the flats.
He gets a big hit from the Bengals defensive back,
but there's no wrapping up, and what should have been
maybe a one yard gain turns into about a four
yard gain and Pittsburgh is off and running. I saw that, Mo,

(02:45):
and I said to myself, I mean, how can there
be after all this talk about the tackling situation, what
the defense is going through, how can you come up
lay a big hit on a guy like that not
wrap up the basic stuff?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And then it.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Puts Pittsburgh situation whether they don't have second and nine
they have second and six, which of course is a
very different situation, but the.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Way that game started.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
And then later in that same series, they give up
a third and eleven for a big play down field,
which sets them up to score a touchdown on their
first possession. So I was looking at that first possession,
I'm thinking, great, here we go. We've had all this talk,
nothing has changed. But then about three quarters of the
way through the first quarter, something happened and the Bengals

(03:30):
started playing the kind of football that I think we've
expected them to play since Game one of this season.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Look, if they were going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers,
they were either going to need the defense to outperform
expectation or they were going to need areas of the
offense to outperform expectation. And the defense didn't do that
last night. Now, they did get the two big turnovers.
The DJ Turner play on the sideline was terrific. It

(03:59):
wasn't an awesome night for the defense left, be honest,
but it was a remarkable night for Jamar Chase. You know,
you feel bad for te Higgins to a degree because
he made the catch and made the right play by
the way, by not scoring that set up the game
winning field goal. And it feels like kind of a
footnote because of how good Jamar Chase was. He was otherworldly.
He is, you know, he's maybe you take him for granted,

(04:21):
I guess when when he's in your city. He is
a remarkable football player. He plays so hard. There was
a play where Chase brown Is running down the sideline
and Jamar Chase outruns them to throw a block in
a whole lot of high end wide receivers who go
and do that. Jamar Chase was awesome last night, but
so is Chase. Brown ran for nearly ten yards of carry.

(04:42):
The Bengals ran for more than six yards of carry.
We've talked about it all season long, the inability and
sometimes unwillingness to run the football. They ran it effectively
last night, and more than anything, Joe Flacco played like
a guy. If if you sat someone down to watch
that game last night and maybe midway through the third quarter,

(05:04):
said to them, when do you think that quarterback got here?
I think they probably would have said, well, at some
point this offseason, or maybe during training camp, or perhaps
they'd been with the team for a few years. Joe
Flacco looked like he had complete mastery of that offense.
What Jake Browning couldn't do, which was hit the open guy.
He throw to Jamar Chase twenty three times last night. Right,

(05:26):
it sounds obvious throw it to your best guys. Joe
Flacco did that, and I thought the offensive line, all
things considered, Pittsburgh's got a very good defensive front. They
blitz a lot. They have TJ. Watt, Nick Herbing, Alex
high Smith, Cam Hayward. They have guys who can get
after the quarterback. Joe Flacco got sacked twice. Wasn't a
perfect night for the offensive line, but it was good enough,

(05:49):
and so I think you had areas of the offense
that outperformed. I think we all thought after the Green
Bay game they had done some things offensively they could
build on. They did more than that last night. It
was a tremendous offensive performance. They got a great night
from Evan McPherson kicking field goals and a win that

(06:10):
at least for now has at least gotten the season
somewhat back on track.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, the win is great because we get to wallow
in it for the next ten days before the Bengals
play again. And I'm glad you brought up that play
where Jamar Chase was downfield throwing that block, because when
that play happened, it sounded as if Kirk Herbstreet was
jumping out of his seat saying and he said, he said,
I remember what he said. He said, that's leadership. That's

(06:37):
leadership right there. And I think he really touched on
something that has been lacking from this team in terms
of leadership. And I think when you see what Jamar
Chase that play and some of the other plays that
he had last night, what te Higgins did by sliding
before he could he could have easily run into the
end zone and scored a touchdown with about a minute

(06:58):
and thirty forty seconds left. And again that's another example
of leadership. So maybe something has happened that these two Higgins,
Chase combined with Joe Flacco, has stepped up and said
the leadership has to come from this group right here,
and that may have been what was on display last night,

(07:19):
and hopefully, hopefully Mo this offensive line is taking note
of that and obviously the best game of this season
from the offensive line, which I think made a huge
difference last night.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, I thought the offensive line, relatively speaking, played well,
and you know, game to game, that's still going to
be the thing we wonder about. But I think in
the two games that Joe Flacco has played, they've done
a decent job of protecting him. A couple of things
about the wide receivers number one year, right, I mean,
Jamar Chase was the one a few weeks ago, when
it felt like this season was starting to spiral down

(07:53):
the drain, he was the guy who was stepping up
and talking publicly, vocally, and by all accounts, talking behind
closes doors and sending messages to his teammates that the
way they were playing was not good enough. I think
the thing about T Higgins is he had a great
game last night. Right, makes a tremendous catch which sets

(08:13):
them up for the game winning field goal. And yet
I don't want to say he's a footnote, but he
takes a back seat to Jamar Chase because you look
at the numbers, Jamar Chase was otherworldly. T Higgins signed
up for more of that right. As much as you
could say the Bengals have misappropriated their money and they're

(08:34):
devoting too much to one area of the team. I
think it's admirable the T Higgins said, you know what,
I'm going to sign up here to in effect be
the second Banana. Now that under sells how good he is.
And it's hard to talk about one without talking about
the other. But I think there are a lot of
wide receivers who would say, you know what, if the

(08:54):
money's equal, I want to get out of Jamar Chase's shadow,
or I want to get out of my teammates shadow
and T Higgins signed up to. I don't want to
say stay in that shadow, but know that it exists.
And I think the thing with Jamar, and I've said
this for a few years.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
You could look at the numbers.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
You could look at the numbers that he puts up
and conclude that he's a great player. He led the
league last season in all three major categories. I think
to really appreciate him, you really have to watch him.
You know, the greatest game I've ever seen him play
is the greatest game I've ever seen a wide receiver
play against the Kansas City Chiefs and the regular season

(09:30):
his rookie year. That game toward the end of the year,
where Jamar Chase just torched Kansas City's defense. And it
wasn't just that he put up big numbers. He did
it on third and long. He did it while facing
double teams. He did it while getting fifty to fifty balls.
Last night, you saw him make plays running every route conceivable.
I don't know how many snaps he wasn't on the

(09:52):
field for, but there weren't many. He's throwing blocks. You
watch him and you go, I don't care how much
money that guy makes. That dude wants to win, that
guy wants to lead. He is an awesome football player.
You could look at the numbers and make that conclusion.
I think when you watch him, you understand truly how

(10:12):
good he really is.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, and him and Joe Flacco were having a bromance
on the field last night. If, and it's my way
of thinking, if the Bengals want to make other teams
have to scheme defensively for the Chase and Flacco bromance,
then I say, then I say have at it. Let
him do that, because I think Joe the Flacco has
proved that he's more more than capable of exploiting the

(10:36):
other weapons that this offense has. And what about what
about that design play, that design run play where he
makes the play action looks like he's going to drop
back to pad to pass and then tucks the ball
up under his arm and runs. What would he get
about eleven or twelve yards on that play? I'm taking Yeah,
what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Man?

Speaker 3 (10:58):
I listened to Zach Taylor and Dave Lapham talk about
that at last night, and Zach said, Look, the play
didn't really go the way we thought. That's Joe Flacco
seeing you know the right defense and then crash down
and lead the space open and go ahead.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
So design play, I think it was.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I think it was part of the options, okay, but
I think the quarterback has to read that correctly. You know,
Zack mentioned it last night. There was a play when
Ryan Finley beat the Steelers in twenty twenty that was
that was really similar where you essentially read the defensive
end and basically if he leaves the gap open, you
go ahead and run for it. So yeah, look, I

(11:39):
think the fun thing now is when they acquire Joe Flacco.
They did it for me for one simple reason. You
knew the guy could be a quick study. You knew
because of his experience his professionalism that he could show
up late on a Tuesday night and know enough of
the offense to at least function on Sunday. And I

(12:00):
looked at that Green Bay game as a preseason game.
They're not going to go there and win it all likelihood,
but use the game reps to get him up to
speed offensively with what they're doing. Developed some degree of
chemistry with the wide receivers. And I think in the
second half you saw that. So to me, that game,
that game last night was won because Joe Flacco started

(12:22):
against Green Bay. You knew he was going to be
a quick study. You know, there's nothing the other team's
defense is going to do that he hasn't seen. You know,
he's going to be able to handle the basics of,
you know, reading what the other team is doing, reading
what the other team's mitt a whybacker is doing, reading
what the other team safeties are doing. And so you
also knew that, hey, if I have Jamar Chase, I'm

(12:45):
going to get him the football. You knew that he
stood a better chance of not making mistakes like Jake
Browning was making. And so now they get a little
time before their next game because of the quote Minibi,
and I think the fun thing now is to think
about where this offense can go from here with some
degree of normalcy settling in. Right, they're not cramming the

(13:08):
playbook to get him ready on a short week for
the Green Bay Packers. They're not doing more cramming to
get ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now they can go
through a normal work week, figure out some of the
things Joe is more comfortable with perhaps expand upon what
they're doing, and it feels like suddenly offensively, especially if
they can run the ball the way they did last night,

(13:30):
and really especially if they can get the kind of
offensive line play they got last night, it's starting to
feel like the potential for this offense is maybe not
what it would be if Joe Burrow we're playing, but
it's still pretty damn high.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, very good. All right, Well, I know we got
a run, but you are on your way to Oklahoma?
Do you see Bearcats taking on Oklahoma State? If I'm
not mistaken, and the Bearcats enjoying a resurgence after a
couple of lackluster seasons. Is where the Bearcats are right now?
Is taking the heat off of Scott Saderfield? And what

(14:02):
are you expecting from the Bearcats on Saturday?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Well, I think it's certainly taken the heat off Scott Saderfield.
I think many are going to say, well, look, you know,
last year Cincinnati was five and two and lost their
last five games, and so yeah, they're five and one
this season, but you know, kind of waiting for the
other shoe to drop. Yeah, I'm not going to tell
you they're going to run the table, but I do
think they just have more Big Twelve athletes. And you know,

(14:26):
this was the part of the coaching change that I
don't think anybody wanted to talk about. When they made
the move from the American Athletic Conference to the Big Twelve.
There was a level of physicality and I think a
level of speed that was going to take a little
time to develop, and I think it's happened this year.
They're not maybe where they need to be, but I
think for the first time as members of the Big Twelve,

(14:47):
they have on both sides of the ball legitimate Big
twelve dudes, especially on the offensive line. Tomorrow, they're playing
in Oklahoma State team that has lost to Oregon this
year by sixty six points. And you might say, well,
there's no shame in that. Oregon's really good, but they've
lost their three Big Twelve games by an average more
than twenty two points. They have fired their coach. Cincinnati

(15:09):
is a more than three touchdown favor tomorrow. This is
a game the Bearcats should win. If they do, they
will be Bowl eligible, and then the schedule is going
to get a lot tougher with Baylor and Utah and
BYU and TCU. But the Big twelve is I think
wider open than some might be willing to admit. I
think Texas Tech is the best team in the league,
but you need two teams in the conference championship game.

(15:32):
Is Cincinnati takes care of business the way they should tomorrow.
I don't believe it's far fetched to talk about the
Bearcats and maybe getting that other berth.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
We'll see what happens. Mowager, you're the best as always.
Appreciate the time, have a great Saturday in Oklahoma, and
we'll see you when you get back. But Mowagar, thanks
for being here as I sent in for the Great
American today.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Appreciate it all right, Dan, thanks very much.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
All Right, there you go, the one and only Mowegor
ESPN Fish fifteen thirty and Big do Ones this weekend
with the Bearcats in Oklahoma, we gotta go.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
We gotta get to a break.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
More coming up as we make our way through this
great afternoon on the heels of a Bengals victory. Dan
Carroll in for the Great American. Bill Cunningham, seven hundred
wl the All right back on the Big One seven

(16:34):
hundred WLW twelve thirty seven. Dan Carroll in for Bill
cunning him and I'm watching the game last night and
I'm thinking, man, this is is a good night for Cincinnati.
The city looks right on TV. The Bengals are winning.
People are all over downtown Cincinnati. Everything is going great.
And then I wake up this morning and I see
this headline and I hear it on the news here

(16:55):
on seven hundred WLW. One person dead after police say
was shot in multiple time times in a car downtown
or early Friday morning. So the crime continues to run
rampant in the streets of Cincinnati. There were a multiple
police calls that were made yesterday. A lot of those
don't get reported. But we have all that going on.

(17:18):
We have a police chief who is currently twisting in
the wind and has signed up with the Finny Law
firm to represent her now in her discussions with the
city manager, Cheryl Long. And what is happening with the
Cincinnati Police Department. Here is Ken Kober, who is the
head of the FOP and Ken Kober, great to have

(17:38):
you on again on seven hundred WLW. And it seems
like we live in times where the situation with the
Cincinnati Police department is very fluid right now. What's the latest?
What can you tell us is happening with the chief
and the Cincinnati Police Department.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Oh yeah, sure, Dan, thanks for having me. I mean
pretty much with the news reporting is kind of where
we're at. She's still the chief. How much longer? I
don't think anybody really knows. But I will say one thing,
and I've made this clear to some of the city
leaders that I've talked to, is that you need to
make a decision. If you're going to keep Chief Fiji here,

(18:19):
then you need to come out and say you're gonna
keep her here. If you're planning on getting rid of her,
you're going to get rid of her, then you just
need to You need to rip the band aid off
and do it. The men and women in this department
deserve to know who's in charge of this department. And
we've had two critical incidents now in the last twenty
four hours. And we had a vehicle pursuit of a
guy that was wanted, you know, for a felonious assault
that ends up, you know, dying in a motorcycle crash.

(18:41):
We had officers this morning we're attacked with a knife
that were forced to fire their guns to save themselves.
So light's going on. Understand that the men and women
of this police department are gonna put every uniform on.
They're going to go to work amidst all of this
chaos that's going on at city Hall. But they have
to do better. The men and women in this department
deserve better.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, the men and women of the department deserve better,
and I think the citizens of Cincinnati deserve better as well.
And none of this was it appeared to be an
issue until it looked like there was some political heat
that was that was starting to catch up with with
the mayor. So I see all this stuff happening in

(19:22):
the eleventh hour as it relates to the election, and
have to have purval is uh. He tries to act
as if he is watching this from afar that you know,
he said during his debate the other night that this
is you know, the purview of the city manager, which
of course is true. But the city manager serves at
the pleasure of the of the mayor. So uh to

(19:46):
act as if there's there's no political shenanigans that you
know what, And my question to you is, what's the
main show right now? Is the political stuff the main show,
or is the crime on the streets of Cincinnati the
main show? And which one is taking more time of
being addressed by the people who can do something about it.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
That allies is the problem because we all know that
this is politically motivated, and the fact that we have
a mayor that wants to hide and say that it's
not I mean, it does fall in line with how
his leadership style has been, but just own it. Well,
I don't understand why they just want to own it.
We know that the mayor is behind this. Everybody knows
that the mayor is behind this, but they say, oh, no, no, no,

(20:28):
this's city managers are doing this. Is It's just nonsense.
I I don't understand how you take someone who's dedicated
thirty seven years of their life to serve in this
city to only do this to her at the end
of her career doesn't make any sense. The one thing
has done I'll be honest with you, is it is
unified or united the rank and file, you know, because

(20:50):
it was no surprise when she got it. When she
got appointed, just like any time any other chief has
been appointed. That there are some people that don't like
that choice, and that's normal. I Like I said, this
isn't unique to her. Every chief has been like that,
at least in my career. But the one thing that
everybody agrees with is that she's getting railroaded. I mean,
I've had cops that don't necessarily care for her that

(21:12):
have said, listen to man, you know how I feel
about the chief, But this is wrong. The way they're
treating her is wrong, and everybody recognizes it. So they
need to figure this out. They need to figure it
out quick well.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Channel five is reporting that the chief has hired the
Finny Law Firm, and she is the law firm Finny
Law Firm attorney Stephen m They've confirmed the Channel five
that they are representing the chief right now. And I
look at this city manager who is probably most likely
going to cost the city a major seven figure settlement

(21:43):
because of the way she addressed the firing of the
police chief Mike Washington, not the police chief, but the
fire chief Mike Washington a couple of years ago. That
settlement is slowly making its way through the courts, and
that's going to wind up costing the city a lot
of money. So I'm sure she's gun shy when it
comes to actually pulling the trigger on something like this

(22:03):
unless she costs the city another giant settlement that is
going to have to be paid out. And I'm sure
Thiji at this point is looking at walking away with
as much money as she possibly can. So they just
the way that these things get addressed. They don't address
crime in a serious way. And then when crime gets

(22:24):
to be the number one issue in the city, they
want to point to the police chief and make the
police chief a scapegoat. And again it's the people who
who are on the streets every day that wind up
suffering the most because of these Shenanians, without a doubt.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Without a doubt, I said, I've expressed to Chief Thiji
that you know, I, as the president the FOP, I
support her fully that I have not heard one policeman
has come to me and said, you know, we'll recare.
We think she's getting what she deserves. Not one has
said that. In fact, it's like I said, it's been
the opposite. We do fully support her and at this point,
and I would certainly I've told her this. I've expressed

(23:05):
this to her, is if they give you the right
amount of money for you to leave, I would do it.
I don't blame her why she would want to stay
here and deal with this headache, especially the way she's
been treated. I wouldn't blame her a bit, and I
don't think any policeman on this department would blame her
a bit for walking away if she gets whatever it
is that she's looking for.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
If the time comes when we do have to select
a new police chief, will you have any input into
that or will it be all at the recommendation of
iris Roli, I.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Would say that there's probably not a likelihood that they're
even going to ask my opinion. Yeah, but since you asked,
I'm gonna give it to you.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Please do.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
My opinion is we need to have a current Cincinnati
police officer needs to be the next police chief. That
is my opinion. We have so much talent, we have
so much leadership that could step up and could be
the next chief of this department, and that's what needs
to be done. Whether that's gonna happen or not, I
don't know, but that that certainly is my position, is

(24:04):
that we need to have a Cincinnati police officer, a
homegrown Cincinnati police officer needs to be the next chief,
if that's what ends up happening.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, but will that meet with the approval of Iris Rollie.
I mean, I read all this stuff about Iris Rolli,
and you know, she put out her social media the
other day just you know, hold on, I'm in Milwaukee.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I'm coming back.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Everything's gonna be fine as soon as I get back,
you know, telling people that as if she is the
one that needs to come in and and get things
squared away. You know, I'm looking at what Todd Zenzer
put out on her a day or so ago and
talking about the all the money that she has made
on behalf of the city, and and she's collected all,

(24:48):
you know, almost three hundred thousand dollars over the last
three or four years for these different things. And he
talks about the invoices that she submitted for the city,
and he he says, he says the city should work
on contractor accountability. He says, for example, there were seven
invoices provided covering twenty twenty three. Except for the dates

(25:11):
of the invoices, five of seven were identical, including misspellings.
So you've got Iris Rolli out there, who's collecting all
this money, And I think it's extremely questionable the work
she's doing. But every time I turn around, it's you know,
her name is in the headlines having involvement with police
and police issues, and she's paying her son to pass

(25:34):
out literature on Government Square. So it just seems like
this thing is such a mess right now as far
as City Hall is concerned, and the criminals continue to run.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
I saw this story the other night, Ken Cober about this.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Dude on Short Vine who goes into the Kroger, robs
the store, assaults the on duty armed security officer, and
then when police respond, uh, you know, the police gets
sprayed with a chemical irritant and and this dude, it
turns out, I guess has has multiple felonies, and then

(26:11):
you know, is in court the next day and walks
out on you know, after laying down one hundred dollars bill.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
I mean, when how are.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
We supposed to say we're serious about fighting crime when
stuff like this happens on a regular basis.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
No, without a doubt you and following up this, you
know this this now we're having cops that are being
assaulted and they're just letting him out. Yeah, they said,
a guy that got a guy that was just charged
with a flonious assault. He shot the victim in the face.
He got a fifty thousand dollars bond at ten percent
forget and I say or or EMU, so he could

(26:47):
have gotten out. I'm sure he's out. If he's out
on EMU, he didn't pay a dollar to get out
of jail.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
How do you deal with it? How do you deal
with it when when you know, I have a good
sense that police know who the bad guys are, and
yet your hands are tied, and I think Fiji's hands
have been tied for a long time when it comes
to doing the things that you know that are going
to have.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
An impact on crime and the victims of crime.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
No, you're You're absolutely right now. I just had this
conversation with her recently about some of these things. How
she has gone to the mayor over the last year
and asked him to go to these judges and put
pressure on them, if nothing else, behind the scenes, to
issue appropriate bonds, to lock people up, to sentence them appropriately.

(27:42):
And he's just refused to do it. The same way
with all the problems that we've had with these kids,
you know downtown at Government Square. She has asked him
repeatedly to go to CPS and try to come up
with a solution, and he's just refused to. And he
kind of indicated that in his press conference Tuesday where
he said, look y'all, I don't I don't control the judges.
I don't control CPS. No, but you're the mayor of

(28:04):
the city and you absolutely could go to these people
who are stakeholders in this city and tell them listen
to this cert expectation, you have to do this, and
he just refuses to. So now what are we left with.
We're left with judges doing whatever they want, you know,
instead of having pressure on them from somebody like the
mayor of this city to say, listen, you go, you
gotta do something about this. But nothing, So cops go

(28:25):
out and arrest these people. He saw it on a
Fountain Square just this past week. You know two people
that are involved with it, both of them who are
known to the police. One was out on an aggravated
robbery bond, got a bomb he was out. The shooter
was just convicted earlier this year of pistol whipping a victim,
and they're out on community control. So it's no surprise

(28:46):
that when things like this happen. You know, everybody's looking around, Oh, oh
my god, and another shooting.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
How did that happen?

Speaker 5 (28:52):
It's because all these people are are recidivous criminals that
are getting out and they're going and committing more crimes.
And until judges decide to get smart and lock these
people up and keep them locked up, we're going to
continue to see this.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, Ken Cobra, I cannot recall as long as I've
been in the media here in thirty for thirty plus years,
but I cannot recall a time where we've had a
situation like this where we have so much uncertainty surrounding
the chief of Cincinnati Police and such a lack of

(29:25):
leadership at city Hall. It really seems that no one
wants to take responsibility, and no one really has a
clue as to what's going on or what the next
step is going to be. And now, of course you've
got the Finny law firm involved, and that never bodes
well for the city when they have to face off
against the Finny law firm. So I just I can't

(29:49):
remember a time when we've ever had a situation like this,
can you?

Speaker 5 (29:53):
No? No, I can't. I mean, we had a police
chief that got fired ten years or so ago. But
that was I mean, it was so obvious they were
gonna fire him, and they didn't him haul around. They
just made a decision. They stuck with it. It was
the right decision. But that was a different leadership. That
was leadership that made a concise, direct decision that said

(30:13):
this is not working, so we're going to get rid
of this person. And they did it instead of okay,
well you know we're gonna have this conversation. Why they
would let the chief of police fly all the way
across the country to go to a conference only to
land there and have a voicemail said hey, I need
you to come back to Cincinnati immediately. That makes absolutely
no sense. Why are we treating someone this way, like

(30:34):
I said, much less the police a chief who's been
here for thirty seven years. I don't care if you
don't like the woman. I don't care if you don't
think she's done a good job. You don't treat people
like that. And he said, and that's why the FFP
has fully supported her. Like I said, there are cops
that are coming out of the woodwork supporting her because
they recognize how poorly she's been treated well.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, and they're going to treat the chief this way,
then how are they gonna, you know, react or towards
someone who is who has a lower.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Rank than she does well without a doubt.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Yeah, we've seen it time after time. That's that's that's
unfortunately his his what the city has done repeatedly, and
it's tops take notice of it. You wonder why we
have trouble recruiting. You wonder why we have trouble with retention.
If guys are now getting twenty five years on as
soon as they're eligible to retire, they're leading because they
see it, and you're to your point, you to treat

(31:27):
the chief of police this way, how are they going
to treat a police officer or a sergeant or a
lieutenant noting nothing's off limits. Unfortunately right now with city Hall.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
And police take note of it, and the criminal element
I think takes note of it as well, and they
are exploiting. I think this a lack of leadership and
the uncertainty that we have right now, and I think
they go they wake up every morning knowing that if, if,
if they're going to commit crimes and do whatever it
is they're going to do, then the likelihood they're going

(31:58):
to face any serious repercussions from that or slim and none.
So it's not just people like me and Bill Cunningham,
and I know you talked to Ken Brew yesterday who
said here on the radio and talk about it. And
it's not just Shari Puelo a Channel five and Mike
Dartists and Tricia Mackie a Channel nineteen that did sit
around and talk about it. The criminal element, I think,

(32:19):
looks at this and responds in the way that they
respond to these sorts of things, knowing that they know
they've got a giant, a giant window of opportunity here
to do what they do, and that's exactly what they're doing.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah, and let me make this point too. You're removing
Chief Fiji from office and putting someone else's the chief
is not going to stop any of this, of course,
It's just not until we have a mayor that will
either leave the police department alone and let whoever's in
charge run it the way they see fit, or you

(32:56):
get a new mayor, this is going to continue. I
hope people understand that that just removing the police chief
is not going to fix crime it's just not things
are going to continue as long as we have the
problems that we have until they're fixed. Doesn't matter. You
can make whoever you want the police chief, it's not
going to matter.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
I saw where the help that was offered by the governor,
the Ohio State Patrol coming in to augment Cincinnati police,
and what you do I see that that has been
bumped up to four days a month. Now do you
have a sense that we may see assets from the
Ohio State Patrol being used in and around Cincinnati more

(33:37):
than four days a month anytime soon.

Speaker 5 (33:40):
Yeah, that's a decision for city Hall.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I mean, who knows.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
I understand that they're going to do so.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
It helps, So doesn't it It helps having those guys around,
does it not?

Speaker 6 (33:50):
Well?

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Sure, anytime you have a force multiplier, and it's been
proven that's why the mayor wants more people on Fountain Square.
That's why they want more visibility, because it's been proven
that if you're more visible, it will at least slow
down crime. So I don't know where they're at with this.
I certainly hope that they start making decisions that are

(34:13):
in the best interest of the people that live in
the city. So we can have a safe, vibrant place
to be able to live. And then you've come down here.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Ken Kober. Before I let you go, I got to
ask you about this.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I saw a video on my social media feed this
morning of two Cincinnati police officers on a bicycle built
for two on patrol.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Tell me that was a fake video.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Tell me that AI great? Tell me is it AI
a wonderful thing?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Tell me we don't have Cincinnati police officers riding around
tandem bicycles patrolling Avondale.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
And yeah, there are some fantastic people that can do
some incredible things with AI that that certainly is very.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Very enjoyable to laugh at all.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Right, Well, thank god that Thank god that's not happening,
or else we really would be laughing stock.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Ken Kober.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
I appreciate the work you do, man, and I appreciate
all the time you spend with people like me and
on the media, and you're doing a great job. And
keep up the great work. And thanks for being here
on seven hundred WLW. Really appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Sure. Thanks for having Dan have a great week.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
All right, there you go, Ken Cober, the head of
the FOP in Cincinnati, and I always love having that guy.
On twelve fifty five, Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham on
seven hundred WLW seven hundred w l W Dan Carolyn
for the great American Bill Cunningham and always always great

(35:38):
to welcome in.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
My next guest, one of my all time.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Favorites, maybe my all time favorite guests, my buddy from
Power the Future, Daniel Turner, and Daniel Turner's great to
have you on the show again.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
How you doing.

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Today, Oh, it is great to be almost you. Thank
you so much.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
About four or five days ago, I gave you an
assignment and it has to do it has to do
with something called the Trump Out for International Peace and Prosperity.
Probably not the sexiest thing we could talk about, but
I read this article and I sent it to you,
and I was blown away by this because so many
times I've heard people talk about Trump and how he

(36:14):
thinks so far ahead, He's thinking multiple moves ahead of
other individuals around the world, other world leaders, especially our enemies.
And when I look at what was laid out in
this article about how oil is going to move from
the city of Cars in Turkey to the port city
of Baku and Azerbaijan, and I know that was a

(36:38):
war that he settled between Azerbaijan and who else Now
I forget who they are, Armenia, And so this deal
was part of that, this Trump route for international peace
and prosperity. As you looked at this and read the
analysis that was provided in this piece, what uh? And

(36:59):
I thought, you know, this is right in your wheelhouse, man,
because this talks about energy, the movement of oil undermining
our enemies China, Iran and Russia in one fell swoop
and uh. You know, now I look at what happened,
uh with the with the peace deal in the Middle East.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Trump is going to have a meeting with Putin in
the coming days. Uh, And I'm thinking maybe this is
all connected to what he did here in uh. In
answer Bijohn, Yeah, it really seems like it. I mean,
this is this is real geopolitical strategy. And I will
admit as I was reading your article, I was looking
at the map simultaneously. Yeah, because it is a tricky

(37:37):
part of the world and you need to you know,
you know roughly how it's situated, but.

Speaker 7 (37:42):
You need to see the way the countries are aligned.
And the point of this article is to say these
are very oil rich but kind of landlocked. Yes, they're
on the Caspian Sea and some are on the Black Sea,
but not necessarily a port uh that can go around
the world. They're kind of landlocked nations, and so they

(38:03):
have these tremendous oil reserves, but they're not always able
to get them to market. And who's capitalized on that
is obviously Communist China. It's part of their Belt and
Road initiative, is that they are desperate for oil. They
import some fifteen million barrels a day because they don't
have a domestic oil As big as China is, they
don't have a domestic oil supply, so they're interested in

(38:26):
this part of the world. And Russia is very interested
in this part of the world because they want to
keep it landlocked. They don't want their oil getting out
because Russia as a petro state. Remember Russia is a
part of OPEK. Although it's not eighty eighty five percent
of their economy like it is in the Saudi Arabia
or Oman or et cetera, but it is thirty five

(38:47):
forty percent of their economy is oil and gas sales,
and so Russia has no interest in seeing this part
of the world develop their oil. And so this article
kind of ties it all together and says, yes, President
Trump is bringing world peace. Absolutely, he's trying to settle
these long involved wars in this part of the world.

(39:08):
But he's also trying to isolate Russia by increasing oil
supply from these countries. He's trying to isolate China by
not allowing them access to the oil, but getting this
oil out to ports and around the world. And he's
also isolating Iran because if they are buying oil from Azubraijan,

(39:29):
from Armenia, from even parts of Georgia, et cetera, well,
now you are no longer buying Russia and Iranian oil,
and that makes Iran poor. And when Iran's poor, countries
of the world that don't get their terrorism dollars. So
there's a lot of really smart geopolitics in President Trump's

(39:50):
action in a very often ignored part of the world.
Right when the Stans, the Kazakhstan, Braijan, that whole area
with Putin wants it all back, of course as part
of Mother Russia, but they are independent countries and they
have the potential to be huge American allies.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
But I have looked at Trump in a little bit
of a different light over the last seven or eight
or ten days since I first learned about this, and
I'm thinking, you know, he is coming out, he is
making all these pronouncements. He has supreme confidence in what
he is able to do. I think he sounds more
confident now more than ever, that he's going to be

(40:33):
able to bring a resolution to the Russia Ukraine conflict.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
And I'm thinking that he knows he's got this in
his back pocket.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
And I think this is a major reason why he's
displaying that confidence and taking the bull by the horns
and moving ahead on this though, I think.

Speaker 7 (40:53):
And this is probably the highest comblent I could pay anybody.
But I think Trump in this sense is acting an
awful lot like rege enacted when he got rid of
the Soviet Union during his administration. We don't need big armies.
We don't need we don't need, or I should put
it this way, we don't need actual army conflict and engagement.

(41:14):
What we need is strategy. What we need is to
What we need is to bankrupt our enemies. And the
way Reagan did that was yes, Star Wars and yes,
the booming economy, and he knew Russia couldn't or the
Soviet Union couldn't compete economically and eventually would lead to collapse.
And I think Trump is doing the same strategy when
it comes to oil. If Iran isn't producing oil, if

(41:38):
Russia isn't able to export that oil, and if China
can't import their oil, well, then those three countries, which
are our biggest problem right now in geopolitics and in
the world, those two countries are in bad economic shape
and bad economic shape for China, Russia and Iran. Is
good for America, it's good for world peace, it's good

(41:59):
for Israel. Uh, it is just good for the world order.
So I think the strategy there is incredibly reagan Esque.
He will never get credit for it. Maybe our grandchildren
will look back at this period and say, wow, that
guy was really darn smart. But but remember tomorrow is
the No King's Rally. I'll be there and streaming about

(42:22):
no Kings, right, I mean, so that's what we're dealing right,
We're dealing with all these aged hippies.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I love I love it because the commentary I've seen
on that talks about if if we had a king
then you wouldn't be able to have that rally. So
I think the fact that they're that they're actually having
this rally and putting it out and advertising it the
way they are undermines their own message that that we
that we have a king that doesn't allow people to

(42:50):
exercise their freedoms in this country.

Speaker 7 (42:52):
Exactly if we had a king, there would be no
government shutdown right now, right And that's that's the biggest problem,
and and that's why next we you can guarantee that
there will be a vote on ending the shutdown, and
the Republicans have mentioned messaged on this. I think pretty
effectively they have to get through No King's rally because
this is the enthusiastic base of the Democrat Party, right.

(43:14):
It is the crazy activist left, whether it's screaming about
climate change, which we must have solved because no one protests.
We want the whole start.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
Dan.

Speaker 7 (43:25):
I didn't see one person lay in traffic. I didn't
see anyone blocking airport, No one protested for climate change,
so it must be solved or either that or kill
the Jews is a more popular rallying cry of the
same crowd. So they've taken off their climate change T shirt.
They put on their pro Palestine T shirt and now
tomorrow they'll change that T shirt for the No Kings rally. Regardless,

(43:48):
they also have a BLM T shirt in their closet,
they have an Occupy Wall Street T shirt in their closet.
But regardless, this is the base of the Democrat Party.
And so the shutdown crowd needs them. They need their enthusiasm,
they need their door knockers, they need their their money.
So yeah, the shutdown and No Kings is deeply, deeply tied.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Okay, exactly. That's hilarious that you brought that up. I'm
sure you're sorry to see. And what a surprise this
is is that the the organization that Stacy Abrams fronted
uh has is going away, the New Georgia Projects, her
nonprofit that that got two billion dollars or was in

(44:31):
line to get two billion dollars from the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Uh, it's amazing, Daniel Turner.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Without that government large ess, this organization simply can't stand
on its own. And so it's it's going it's going
to be dissolved. I guess before she gets into any
more investigations about what she did the money that they
did have.

Speaker 7 (44:50):
Yeah, and it makes you wonder, what about the children? Right,
that's what the money, that's what the organization for. Absolutely,
it was for about the children in Georgia who were
all dying from climate change. Because people like Stacy will
be the first to tell you climate change is an
existential threat, and black and brown children are dying quicker
than anyone else, and we're just supposed to believe this nonsense.

(45:13):
And that's why we cut them two billion dollar checks
so that Stacey can put on a conference, pay yourself
a few million dollars, have some beautiful office space, and
no one ever addresses any issue. A Secretary of State,
Rubio pointed out when he closed USAID that ninety cents
of every dollar USAID was giving.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Out went to overhead.

Speaker 7 (45:34):
So all these people who are saying this is saving
children in Africa from HIV, no, ninety cents of it
went from when to you idiots who have fancy offices
in DC, who had cocktail parties in Georgetown, who held
a fundraiser or an event at the Four Seasons, like
all the climate conferences. You know what we should do, Dan,

(45:55):
Let's gather with ten thousand of our closest friends, and
we'll choose Hilton Head and we'll all get the presidential
suite and we'll drink champagne and we'll talk about this
for fifteen days. Right, that's where all the money goes.
And so yes, Stacy Abrams her two billion dollars. It
wasn't about the climate, it wasn't about the children, it
wasn't about anything. It was about making people like Stacey

(46:16):
rich off of the government teat and I hope they
continue to prosecute and go after her like they are
doing Letitia James. I. These corrupt people need to be
brought down and thrown in jails. My one disappointment with
Trump administration. We have not seen nearly enough arrests. I
was happy to see, you know, Comy indicted, but I

(46:38):
need that to triple and quadruple and quintuple before I'm
happy with the justice we're getting.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yeah, Comy.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
And now you've got John Bolton who's just got indicted
the other day for his handling of classified documents. So well,
Trump Trump is little little bit of a fire under
Pambondi and Cash Mattel. So we'll see, we'll see what
happens with that. Let me ask you, let me ask
you about this. Uh, they're in your home state of Virginia.

(47:07):
You've got the Jay Jones, this attorney general who fantasized
about the children of his political opponent dying in their
mother's arms. He's, I guess he apparently apologized for this,
and he uses this term he said he you know,
he's was disgusted by it, and he's he said, quote,

(47:27):
I was held accountable by my party and I deeply
respect that.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
So is that is?

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Is that the kind of leadership that that you want
in Virginia where you have this guy who fantasizes about
the murder of his political opponent and then says, I
was held accountable by my own party and I respect,
I respect the accountability to which they held me. What
kind of apology is that? What I mean is is

(47:57):
anyone taking this guy seriously?

Speaker 3 (47:59):
There? Is that wrong?

Speaker 7 (48:01):
Are you not supposed to say that about children?

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Just I don't know the rules anymore, But in democrats
circles that sort of thing is not frowned upon.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
That that is a fact.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
I just put on social media a couple of hours
ago that famous scene from Steinfeld. What George cassands is
called sleeping with the cleaning lady, and he says, was
that wrong?

Speaker 4 (48:23):
I did not know.

Speaker 7 (48:24):
If anyone had told me I can't fantasize about killing children,
I never would have done it. Yeah, this is where
we are that Jay Jones gets to say, hey, you
know I we all make mistakes. And look, we have
all said, oh I hope that guy dies, Oh I hope.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
You get hit by a bus. That is very different.

Speaker 7 (48:42):
That is, that is very different from saying I hope
that that that woman has to cradle her dead children's bodies.
And it's also wrong for people to say those things
and want public office. It's even stranger when he's running
to be attorney general. Right, this is the man who's
in charge of enforcing Virginia's laws. And in that same

(49:04):
text thread, which has obviously been a huge scandal statewide,
but he also justifies it by saying until you feel
personal pain, you do not move on policy. I mean
that is I think Hitler had that same mentality, right,
Like they'll they'll comply once enough of them are dead.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Well, the mob, you know, the the.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
US and you know they all have going on the
same thing.

Speaker 7 (49:34):
Just think about that until you feel personal pain, you
will not move on policy. Wow, that's that is absolute insanity.
And the fact that this guy saves face that he
just says, well, hey, look we all make mistakes. I'm sorry.
I asked for forgiveness. Let's move on from that. You know,
there is no moving on from that. We just need

(49:55):
to go back to twenty sixteen when our beloved president
ten years prior had made some really crass comments about women,
and he was caught on this Access Hollywood tape. And
ten years later, as he's running for office a couple
of weeks before the election, that that audio went out
and every guy knew that that was just idiot guy

(50:18):
locker room banter. But that almost brought down his campaign.
And then that was not saying I want Hillary Clinton's
children dead in her arms. This is a guy saying, ah,
women blah blah. Was it stupid?

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Of course it was.

Speaker 7 (50:32):
Every guy talks like that. But the comparison though, of
what Jay Jones saying, I want that woman to hold
her children dead in her arms.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
Whoa. And this is where we are.

Speaker 7 (50:43):
We just have to accept it because they're Democrats and
they love violence and they get away with it.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
And I read those text messages. The person he's text
messaging with has admonished him before for texting in such ways,
so this is about the first time that he engaged
in this sort of thing. Also, there in Virginia, win
some seers just put out some devastating campaign ads against

(51:07):
Abigail Spamburger and and the latest polls I've seen shows
that her lead is slipping and and and she she
may not win it, maybe win some seers.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
What what's that?

Speaker 7 (51:19):
It's neck and neck in Virginia. I mean, the problem
is why I hate all these silly voting rules is
that early turn early voting. You know, people casted their
vote a month ago and and then all this break.
And that's why you don't cast your vote a month early,
because you don't know what's going to come out. And
this is not the campaign holding on to secret information

(51:41):
for an October surprise. This is stuff that other people
have put into the into the eater. So so that
could be the downfall is that enough people just voted
early to get it out of the way, and then
they find out what a monster Abigail Spaanburger is. And
she is a monster.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
She supports you, Litha.

Speaker 7 (51:59):
I realize Yeah, she supports transitioning your children without parental consent.
She supports confiscating your children if you don't recognize their
their preferred gender, et cetera. This, this woman is an
absolute monster of a human being. But you know the
way Jay Jones is hiding behind being young and black,

(52:20):
Abby Gail Spanberger is hiding behind being blonde and pretty.
And we're just supposed to pretend that these aren't absolute
monster people who are desperate for power to lord over you. Yeah,
so got to say some prayers for Virginia, same with
New Jersey because a lot is on the line with
these gubernatorial elections.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Daniel Turner so much I want to talk to you about.
But in about the minute we have left, you've got
Kamala Harris out there now, who whose book tour goes
on without end it appears, and now is saying Now
she is saying that people are saying that she was
the most qualified candidate ever ever ever to run for

(53:00):
the president. Did those words ever escape your lips? Did
those words ever come out of your mouth or anybody
that you know?

Speaker 7 (53:10):
I just pray to God one day I will have
the self worth that Kamala Harris has of herself that
she never looks at herself and says, you know what,
maybe I didn't know what I was doing.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
Maybe this was big, more than I.

Speaker 7 (53:23):
Could chew, et cetera. It is remarkable that she looks
at herself and it's so impressed when she literally has
a career of absolutely no accomplishments whatsoever. So God lover,
I wish I could be as confident.

Speaker 2 (53:36):

the Reds winning a game and ill left hander.

Speaker 11 (55:25):

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
And thirteen and six yep, and he wants two hundred
and fifty MILLI more. Well, that's the difference between how
much well, how much do they will in the fan?

Speaker 10 (01:03:00):
The current record is starting pitcher Yoshi Yamamoto the Dodgers

twenty five million to pitch every five days. So he

And what one sort one uh source of their income though,
was they reported one point four million dollars in winnings
when he was playing blackjack in Las Vegas.

Speaker 5 (01:05:01):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
That's that's an example for the rest of us.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
One point four million dollars he said, He said, I
just had a lucky night. Oh, I guess so you
ever had you ever had a night that lucky at
the navels seg I don't think I'd be sitting here

Of blackjack pretty probably more than what he won. Wow,
hope that was his own money instead of the state
or he's going to the joint like the other guy did.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Yeah, he's just saying, hey, I just got lucky. One
point four million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
Every Yellinois governor has been a cruk. His family is
already rich. Hey, look, you want to go to Las
Vegas and gamble. I don't care do it, but one
point four million. Don't tell me you just got lucky.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
Thank you. That's pretty good, not bad.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
When I was at nineteen, we used to have Hugs
come in and he would record the Coaches Show. Oh boy,
he came in one night and I guess he had
just gotten back from from Vegas on a recruiting trip.
And he walks into this casino and he walks through
the high roller area and he says, Michael Jordan is
sitting there playing blackjack, sitting He's at a table by himself.

(01:06:15):
Nice and Jordan says, come on, Huggs, come and sit down,
play a few hands. He says, I look over at Jordan,
he says. He says, he's playing and playing like four
hands of blackjack, and he's betting like one hundred and
fifty grand on every single hand.

go to Miami Valley Gaming or something.

great to have you back on the show. How you
doing today?

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
I'm doing great, Dan, How are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
I'm great. I love the stuff you put up on
your blog.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
And this is a question I was asking myself after
the after the the the peace announcement that Trump came
out with last week. So where are those who were
calling for the free Palestine? Where are those who were
calling for the ceasefire? Where are those who we're talking

(01:08:37):
about Trump is only in this for himself and doesn't
really give a damn about the American people.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Where are all those people today?

Speaker 6 (01:08:46):
Yeah, That's exactly what went through my mind.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
And it started making me thinking, Okay, if we were
taking it.

Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
At their word, they were saying, how the name thrust
the name? Their main reason for being was to get
a seat fire. Well you got a seat fire, got
to so now you think to be right, you think
to be jubilation and victory and marches and and and
I don't even mind if they took partial credit.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
They could have march and say, you.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
Know, Trump did this in part because we made so
much noise, and so victory is ours and you all did.

Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
Great and you should be proud. We got these fire
nothing zip crickets.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Lincoln took credit.

Speaker 6 (01:09:29):
What well a they have a lot of time on
their hands and beat It is amazing how much stuff
you can do when you're at the beach for fifty
five percent of your administration. He proved it, baby sitting
there with speedos and Jill moving his chair for him.
It's amazing freeze up his mind to solve the world's problems.

(01:09:50):
So what made me thinking, Okay, then maybe you're really
just Prohoman and anti Jew, anti Israel, anti Semi and
pro Hamas.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
And where are they now? Well, let's see.

Speaker 6 (01:10:01):
Some of them may have gone to Portland to do
the NW Bicyclists protests. Some of them, I'm sure put
on their armor and helmets and masks and said, who
Antifa doesn't exist, Hey, could you pass too that Antifa flag?
And then I'm sure some of them went ahead and
got all excited because they're going to do the No
King's rally, whatever that may mean.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
It's time again. I know, we just had a no Kings.
How many times do they have to do the no kings.
I would think they.

Speaker 6 (01:10:28):
Could pick other members of the royalty just to spice
things up, but no kings. Certainly, apparently we're not going
to see a no Queen's Day guests. We'll see a
no King's rally.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
That's my guess where they're going.

Speaker 6 (01:10:39):
And then I'm sure they're cooking up for maybe the
end of the semester on campuses or summer, or maybe
they're really looking towards next fall to hit the elite
universities again. You know that as well as I do,
And they'll find another caut what'll happen. What'll happen is
the Hamas the course is not disarming and shooting Palestinians.

(01:11:01):
So where is the rally to against Tama saying pre Palestine,
save Palestinians from Pamath.

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
I don't hear anything from that either.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Well, I saw that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Video and I had to look twice to make sure
I was seeing what was going on there. And they
said these individuals were collaborating with Israel, and so there
were summary executions on the street. You know, they civilized
people do that all the time. They just put a
blindfold on the people they accused of wrongdoing and make
them kneel down on the street and then discharge in

(01:11:33):
AK forty seven behind their head so they can blow them,
so they can blow their heads off. And of course
I'm sure maybe I missed it, but I'm sure Ilhan Omar,
I'm sure that AOC, I'm sure Jasmin Krockett and Rashida
Talib were out front and condemning these actions on behalf
of Hamas.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
You saw that, didn't you?

Speaker 6 (01:11:56):
Well I didn't because they were a little busy still
at for the fifth judge the sixth appeal and what
are we up to about three quarters of a million
dollars in terms of the due process for Abrego Garcia.

Speaker 4 (01:12:10):
Yeah, you're too hard a critic.

Speaker 6 (01:12:13):
You're they're too they're too busy, and AOC is too
busy holding national seeing in events with uncle Bernie Sanders
and denying that she wants to run for Senate and
Schumer's seat, and just cannot believe it's like kins of blank.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
I'm shocked you'd ask me that question.

Speaker 6 (01:12:29):
I'm just here because I have a lot of time,
and I'm a congresswoman.

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
Uh the Senate? What Senate? Who's senate?

Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
Unbelievable? But that's where we are.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Isn't she busy appointing herself the leader of the Democrat
Party these days? Isn't she If you wanted trying to
fill that void.

Speaker 6 (01:12:47):
If you want to negotiate, or if you want to
come by my office?

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
She said? And then when the Speaker Johnson called her
on it, she said, what again? Who office? Who? Who
said that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:57):
Who said that?

Speaker 4 (01:12:58):
I know, I'm busy. I've got to make a call
from Bernie. You know.

Speaker 6 (01:13:02):
It's so it's unbelievable, but look they're excited. Uh, and
we know the energy is there on the he we
keep saying far left or extremist.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
Let's just say what it is.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
It's the Democratic Party and the folks that are moderate
John Fetterman's of the world.

Speaker 4 (01:13:18):
The other people, they're not the party, right.

Speaker 6 (01:13:22):
It's not Pelosi, it's not Biden, it's it's not Jill,
it's not Kama. For goodness sakes, I don't know where
her mind is that she has. I don't know what
she's doing these days. I guess she's just wind splitz
her and book tour. It's this is the party, and
that's where the energy is, that's where the money is.
And so let's see after mom Donnie wins, because he

(01:13:43):
probably will win, Let's see how badly or how quickly
he runs New York City into the ground even more Unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Well, they've all come out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
They've endorsed Mom Donnie, that this attorney general in uh
in uh in the Virginia, who will Yeah, I wanted
to say he wanted to see his political rival shot
in the head and have his children die in their
mother's arms. They they've all come out. Yeah, No one
has condemned him, he said. He said, he apologized, and

(01:14:12):
he was he was reprimanded by his own party, and
he was very proud of that. So apparently he's had
he's had to face the punishment of his own party
because of the text messages he said, where the Democrats were.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
The punishment of his own party.

Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
They sent him to bed one time without without this art,
and then they apologized in the morning and they gave
him the cake that he didn't eat the night before.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
You know what actually happened.

Speaker 6 (01:14:43):
And I was I was digging on this a little bit,
digging this up, and I had one of our crew
too working on it. Where he didn't actually apologize initially.

Speaker 4 (01:14:51):
In fact, he doubled down.

Speaker 6 (01:14:53):
Initially his colleague that said, you know, word to the
effect of Jay, it makes me very uncomfortable when you
start talking like that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
I know you don't mean that, meaning the.

Speaker 6 (01:15:02):
Two bullets to the head of Todd Gilbert, who had
the egregious audacity and sin just to simply not agree
with him. So two books to his head Hitler Paupa
and of course Todd Gilbert, the Republican state speaker in Virginia.
And after she said that, he went back and said no, no,
And then he said, oh, and Jennifer, by the way,

(01:15:22):
he knew these people personally, he worked with them and
lived in the State Assembly of Virginia.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
Jennifer Todd's wife, she should know the pain of the
children dying in her arm.

Speaker 6 (01:15:30):
And then later on he says how police should be
shot so then they'll know the pain and they won't
commit police brutality. And in the blog I put, look,
this guy shouldn't even run for like taking tolls at
the toll booth if they still do that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:47):
And then I thought, well, but the Democrats are okay
because an effect they're.

Speaker 6 (01:15:51):
Saying, well, don't worry, he's not going to do that
all he's going to do is be the you know,
the attorney general.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
The top cop prosecutor for the.

Speaker 6 (01:15:58):
Entire state of Virginia. And this is apparently who the
Democrats think is fit for that highest office in Virginia.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
How is he gonna sit seriously with.

Speaker 6 (01:16:10):
Like a family or victims of a crime and go,
I know how you think I relate to I'll go
to back for you. And they're going to be thinking, dude,
I don't know. I don't know where your line of
right and wrong is because is in your heart is
not exactly law.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
In order, Greg Revenue.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Every time we see a little bit of the curtain
revealed when it comes to the left or leading Democrats
in this country, it's always something vile like this. It's
always something that's it's the worst sort of behavior and
the worst sort of speech you can imagine. And they're
always the ones out there who are talking about that.

(01:16:49):
You know, they're the ones out who they don't hesitate
to call Trump hitler, they don't hesitate to call him
a fascist or a Nazi. But when you see the
kind of thing that they really talk to each other
are about the kind of conversation they engage in it's
always this kind of stuff, and it happens on a
local level around here in Cincinnati, and we see it
on the national level like this all the time, and.

Speaker 6 (01:17:13):
There's no What I would say too, that I've been
arguing for quite some time is I don't see any
truly serious, fully formed of.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Mature adults on the left.

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
I mean, Fetterment has come quite a long ways, and
he makes sense on a number of things, but he's
one guy and he doesn't have a whole lot of
leverage right now. But for the vast majority, I just
don't see serious adults saying.

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
No, that's not how we do things. What I see
is just the old you know, bob and weave.

Speaker 6 (01:17:40):
Of you know, trying to split the difference because what
they really want, let's face it is, and they don't
care how they get it, is the power and the seats.
And what's ironic is once they get this power in seats,
either they have no policy ideas or like mom, Donnie,
just give everybody free stuff until you run the entire
city into the ground and rack up more billions of debt.

(01:18:04):
And because you know, we know, socialism and Marxism has
worked so many times throughout history, why not keep truck
going back and saying no, no, no, this will be
the place that works. So I'm astonished by that, but
I'm disappointed.

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
I hoped for more.

Speaker 6 (01:18:20):
But to your point, which I think is spot on,
as every time we see the curtain pull back, there's
left curtain. And this is truly when we see the transparency.
And this apparently is okay in the party.

Speaker 5 (01:18:33):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:18:35):
They made a folk hero.

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Out of Luigi Mangioni, who being heroic. I get too
many on the life. Now is what walking up to
a husband and a father and shooting them in the
back in broad daylight as a coward because you're upset
about insurance rates, or putting bullets in a.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
Rifle and killing a husband and a father because you
didn't agree with this person something. Yeah, I guess you
can't use your words. I guess they can't use words.
I guess they just either, yeah, use rhetoric or bullets.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
Here's another example of how brazen they are. This there's
a mother in Wisconsin who took her eight year old
daughter to a farmer's market an Oskosh. The Democrat Party
was operating a booth there and they're handing out you know,
those those little rubber bracelets that people like to wear.
So so a volunteer leans over and hands her eight

(01:19:36):
year old daughter a bracelet, and she shows up to
her mom, and her mom looks at the bracelet reads
is he dead yet?

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Which is is he dead yet? A reference to Trump?
This is what the Democrat party?

Speaker 4 (01:19:50):
This is the local.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Democrat party at a farmer's market, and an eight year
old kid handing out bracelets like this. So to try
to claim that these are isolated incidents or that you know,
you can't control everyone in your party, No, it's it's
across the spectrum. It I mean, it really is, and
it's it's more brazen and more blatant. And we see

(01:20:14):
the hypocrisy again on the left, as you point out
in your piece talking about how even though Trump is
trying to bring peace to the million, but do we
know if the twenty point plan is going to work?

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
I don't know. So far it looks like it's working,
but is it?

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
But just the idea that he would try to do
that not worthy of any respect, not worthy of any recognition,
just worthy of calling him again a fascist and hitler again.
You can't tell me that it's it's just it's you know,
it's it's just one of those things, though, this is
what they stand for.

Speaker 6 (01:20:51):
Well, you know, extremism and irrationality and hatred is a
contagion and it's spread and when it finds a host,
it's spreads like.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
Crazy unless it is literally destroyed.

Speaker 6 (01:21:04):
And the few people in the left that you think
are in leadership positions that should show the maturity and
should show that I'm a fully formed adult and this
is wrong and these aren't the values. They either are
so scared they're going to lose their seat like Schumer,
or they don't have the leverage like Fetterman, or they
simply just again intimidated by the energy and the outrage

(01:21:27):
of their wing of the party, they just step aside.
And the contagion, to your point, it just builds and
it doesn't become just isolated incidents.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
And look, many years ago I was, I.

Speaker 6 (01:21:38):
Grew up in a Democratic Party household, and that party,
that party is long gone.

Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
I don't know if it's ever going to come back
or resuscitate, but it is long gone.

Speaker 6 (01:21:48):
It's from everything I can see, and it's right now.
It's the DSA, the Democrat Socialist of America. And that's
where the money is, that's where the energy is on
the left, and apparently that's where the normalizing political violence,
or at least not condemning it. And if you tolerate something,
you don't condemn it, you.

Speaker 4 (01:22:07):
Tolerate it, it grows, you give life to it.

Speaker 6 (01:22:11):
And this is what we're seeing. And it's very dangerous
because I don't know who would be immune right from
political violence, and I don't know who would And at
some point they're going to eat their own, like every
movement like that does, because the next one isn't extreme
as you, and the one behind you thinks you're not
as extreme as him, and so once it goes, it

(01:22:33):
eats everything like a virus. And so that's a strong
concern right now. How can you have a work in
democracy when you seem like you tolerate either political violence
and thought and political violence and deeds.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
Well, I'll be watching the media coverage of the Note
King's protests that we're going to have across the country
this week, and I fully expect to see signs out
there that read we are all Hamas. So those oh, absolutely, yeah,
those signs will definitely make an appearance and we'll see
we'll see what kind of coverage that gets from the media.

Speaker 6 (01:23:06):
Yeah, I just I'm My concern is Camille is gonna
wake up next to Charles and go, Charles, have you
seen no kings? Oh my goodness is happening again in
the colonies, and they're gonna be the poor things.

Speaker 4 (01:23:17):
They're going to be confused.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
How about that money Max?

Speaker 11 (01:24:48):
So many heroes in this football game, offensive, defensive, and
special teams when you include money Matt. All I can
say is Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers two division wins,
two and zero in the division. That could be a
factor as the season progresses unfold. Bam, Bam, bam, Bengals

(01:25:10):
win thirty three thirty one.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
Oh hello, quiet skos, I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
God so Sega saw Austin Elmore, Yes, sir, walking around
the hallways a little. Did he just spend the night
here didn't he do the Bengals post game showed about
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Think so o'clock. Ricky Chinos slept here last night.

Speaker 10 (01:25:38):
He was at the game covering for serious exem and
then took him an hour and a half to get
out of downtown because now the I guess the Bengals
now have a new traffic system really after the games
where if you're on the one side you go west
and the other side goes east. You can't like go

(01:26:00):
all over the place anymore. So if you're on the
west side, I don't know. I don't know how you
can't go well, I have no idea, but I don't
know how at all. What if you live on the
east side and park on the west side. I don't
know if you live on the west side and park
on the east side. I don't have all the configurations
of the deal. But it said it took him he
had to go. He usually goes some way up to

(01:26:22):
like uh here there and then Freeman Avenue and then
comes up through downtown. But last night he had to
go through I guess the Great American Ballpark and through
that way hour and a half to get here.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
After the game. That doesn't sound very well.

Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
I mean, but everybody was staying until the end. Well,
sure nobody left. Well, the game of the game wasn't
over until there was. So he was what he was
here in the iHeart Hotel suite aka couch. Who's got

Speaker 10 (01:32:57):
Dan uh Born on this date October seventeenth, nineteen thirty eight.

Speaker 1 (01:33:03):
Oh is it somebody I know? The king of all
dared devils, Evil can Eevil Bingo.

Speaker 10 (01:33:09):
How about that last jump King's Island fight nearly broken
half jumped the greyhound busses.

Speaker 1 (01:33:17):
I remember, folks, I remember watching that when I was
a kid.

Speaker 10 (01:33:20):
Bob Trump he had him on one night Fourth Street.
It was unbelievable to see that man in person in studio.
He had a haircut with like three feet tall and
he was as thin as a pencil.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Evil can Eevil. I interviewed Stay one hour stayed Trump,
He went an extra half hour with him. How about that?
I interviewed his son once, Robbie. Remarkable to see that
man in person.

Speaker 2 (01:33:46):
And Robbie can Evel was going to I don't know
if he was actually going to recreate it, but he
was going to jump some buses to King's Island. And
I went up to King's Island and we stood out
in the parking lot. We did an interview out there,
Robbie Canevel. Nobody liked Kim these days. Oh evil can
Eevil man. Back in the in the seventies, Snake River,
I was a kid with that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
He went in a rocket, remember that? Oh yeah, the
parachute came out, the rocket went down in the canyon
wide world of sports. Unbelieve you?

Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
Ok?

Speaker 6 (01:34:17):
Down there?

Speaker 1 (01:34:18):
Yeah, where'd the rocket go?

Speaker 4 (01:34:20):
So?

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
So he was born on this day in nineteen thirty eight. Correct.
How long has he been gone? Now, he's been gone
a few years. It's been a little while. Evil and evil.

Speaker 10 (01:34:30):
Everybody, everybody have a good weekend. Who Day, America. We
leave you with the immortal words of the Stood Report.

Speaker 8 (01:34:40):
Next week's case handled by the Highway Patrol is a
very exciting one.

Speaker 4 (01:34:44):
We hope he'll be with us until then. Remember, the
careless driver isn't driving his car, he's aiming it. This
is Roderick Crawford saying see you next week.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
Say I'll see you next week. You got it on
seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW, Dan Carroll from Bill Cunningham,
A few minutes left to go here.

Speaker 1 (01:35:12):
Signal ninety nine is.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
A prolific poster on social media and put out a
narrative a day or so ago that I saw last
night and asked permission to read it on the air.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
And this is what they wrote.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
If you haven't seen it for yourself, you should go
find it and look at it for yourself. But it's
a narrative about what we've been through for the last
several months here in Cincinnati, and Signal ninety nine rights
people of Cincinnati deserve the truth, not the political theater
that has to find Cities Hall handling a violent crime
in downtown as well as all over the city in July,

(01:35:48):
when chaos erupted and made national news, the mayor and
his allies dismissed the outrage as hysteria. They stood before
the cameras clutching their pearls, insisting that Cincinnati was safe,
while footage of assaults, open air fights, and chaos told
a very different story. Governor Mike DeWine extended and unprecedented
offered the full resources of the state to help restore order,

(01:36:11):
highway patrol, investigative support, technology assets, tools that could have
given CPD the breathing room it desperately needed. Instead of
welcoming that help, city leaders arrogantly declined it. They wanted
to protect their political narrative, not their citizens. By August,
the pressure was too heavy to ignore. The administration quietly

(01:36:34):
allowed osp to handle traffic enforcement, claiming it would free
CPD to answer critical calls. Sounded like progress, but it
was a partial, face saving compromise. The full package was
still off the table because it would expose the depth
of the crisis the city was working so hard to downplay.

(01:36:55):
In September, they were lented again, finally announcing they would
accept the governor's help. What they didn't tell you, but
we told you here on seven hundred WLW at least
on my shows that we did that. It was only
two days a month. Two Then this month they stretch
it the four four days out of thirty four days
to fight a twenty four to seven problem. The mayor

(01:37:18):
stated that the over exaggeration of violence in our city
was more of a perception than a reality. Is that
what the victims of these crimes say? It's a perception
rather than in reality. Even worse, the mayor and city
Council forced the Governor's Office in multiple state agencies to

(01:37:39):
sit through a lecture from Iris Rolie, a self appointed
authority on the Collaborative Agreement. Rowlie, who is not the
director of the agreement because there is no director, dictated
what troops and agents could and could not do in
Cincinnati as if she had legal jurisdiction over them. The

(01:38:00):
Governor's office, trying to help, was forced to tolerate this
circus to avoid political backlash from city Hall. It was humiliating,
not for them, but for us, the city. The mayor
has now turned to his next political scapegoat Police Chief
Teresa Figi. After being ordered to juggle impossible directives, appeace

(01:38:21):
political activists, keeps crime stats controlled, and project confidence amid chaos,
the chief is being positioned for sacrifice. It's the same
cynical script blame the police when the politics collapse, and then,
of course we come to find out in the last
several hours that the police chief is now lawyered up

(01:38:45):
for her discussions with the city manager. So it certainly
and we had Ken kober On earlier today talking about
what nonsense this is to have a chief like this
twisting in.

Speaker 1 (01:39:00):
The wind.

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
While you look to cover your political behinds. What Cincinnati
is witnessing isn't leadership, its manipulation. Public safety is being
bartered for headlines. The mayor's office continues to mislead the public,
minimize the scale of the state's assistance, and allow unelected
consultants to hold sway over law enforcement operations. And to me,

(01:39:27):
that is one of the biggest things, unelected people who
hold sway over law enforcement operations. The collaborative Agreement was
never meant to become a political weapon or a personal
platform for self promotion. Yet here we are watching a
city in crisis defend or defer, I should say to
a consultant, while the governor's troopers stand down because iris

(01:39:50):
really said so, four days a month of help, four
days of help per month isn't a plan. We are
stunt And as the mayor scrambles to protect his re
election campaign by throwing Chief Figi under the bus. One
truth remains clear. The violence continues, and we saw it

(01:40:10):
last night. The spin intensifies and the people of Cincinnati
are left to fend for themselves while city Hall hides
behind its talking points. Vote this mayor and city Council
out of office next month, and the rest of the
trash will take itself out. We can start to heal

(01:40:32):

And that is a post from Signal ninety nine, and
I want to thank Signal ninety nine. I told them

what's been going on in this city. We deserve better
than the political theater that is being played out right now.
The police chief deserves better. The men and women who

(01:41:30):
wear the uniform certainly deserve better, and the citizens of
Cincinnati deserve better. I don't vote in the city of Cincinnati,
but if you do, you have a responsibility. Even though
you may not have been affected by the crime, we're
all affected by it in some way. When you have

(01:41:52):
businesses that no longer want to stay open, when you
have businesses that are crying out to the city Hall
for leadership, pastime to get something done. And we can
only hope that the voters this time around do what
needs to be done, so the people who can do
the things that need to be done.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
Know that they need to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:15):

Bengals coverage, seven hundred WLW
