Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
At fifty five k r C the talk stations. Happy
Tuesday to.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
The vacation and that's.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
The way the news goes.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, yes, indeed, and a happy Tuesday to you, Brian Thomas
right here. Glad to see Jude Derek Ory belongs and
glad to see Todd Zenzer is coming up at the
fifty five Case Morning Show, host of the Citizen Watchdog podcast,
Former Inspector General Todd Zenzer on the situation in Hyde Park,
on the zoning, the city budget and what is the
ARC program. Well, that's why we have Todd Zenzer. Brilliant

(00:54):
manny is and I love when he comes into the studio.
I have a conversation. And that's what's happening today. Coming
up at seven oh five, fast forward to couple hours
and fast forward a couple three hours inside scoop with
Breitbart News. Breitbart reporter Randy Clark on the border. Oh
look an article that I wrote, WTF question mark on
relating to the border. Get to that in a moment.

(01:16):
Let us see here. So we'll talk about the border
with Randy Clark at eight o five and then the
Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Of course, the latest on Ukraine
in Russia. Apparently Ukraine hit Moscow with the largest drone
attack ever and Russian authority shot down more than three
hundred drones, some of them actually were targeting Moscow. Yeah,

(01:37):
to scratch your head on that one. Symbolic attacks ineffective
apparently because I guess the Russians were able to shoot
all the drones down anyway. Daniel Davis deep dive at
eight thirty, So looking forward to that tomorrow. What a
trifecta of fun tomorrow. On Wednesday, Jack Atherton, Thomas Massey,

(01:58):
and Judg Jennitapolitano, And speaking of Congressman Thomas Massey, Donald
Trump went on a tear against Massey just yesterday. Of course,
this Continuing Resolution is just just not sure that it's
going to pass. They need all the votes they can
get on the Republican side, because you heard Hakim Jeffers
and then they're not gonna vote for keeping the government open.

(02:21):
And I guess at the top of the news if
they were quoting him because it does nothing to protect
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, Well, let's just start from
the initial recognition that it doesn't do anything to touch
it either. There's no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
in the continuing resolution, And of course you don't use

(02:44):
a continued resolution to protect and what does he mean
by protect? Anyway, these things are on a death spiral.
Those three programs are the problem of the biggest problems
we faced. Of course, doge out there cutting all the
extraneous crap from this expended it amounts to a hill
just nothing, not even a hill of beans, a few
beans maybe, And I'll listen, I'll take all the billions

(03:07):
that they can find and cut, and welcome and applaud
their efforts along those lines, because lord knows, we've found
out how much money is going out into the world.
I can talk about this a little bit later. The
Agriculture Secretary cancel to six hundred thousand dollars grant for
a study of menstrual cycles in transgender men. It's only
only six hundred thousand dollars. I'm sure anybody my listening

(03:31):
audience would welcome a check for six hundred thousand dollars.
It's a lot of money to just the regular run
of the mill people that pay the taxes so bully
for them and all the work they're doing cutting out
the crap from government. But if you really want to
get to the heart of the problem we face with
these trillions of dollars in annual expenditures, you've got to
fix fix Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And somebody should

(03:55):
ask how Jefferies what his ideas are to save us
from our death spiral. These are massive ponzi schemes. Fewer
workers paying into the system, more people on the system,
people living longer. It's just it's a recipe for disaster.
And it has been for decades everybody. I mean, they've

(04:18):
been waving red flags about this for the last five
six administrations. And I know people kept question marks about
the Congressional Budget Office, but you know, regularly and repeatedly
they always point out these are massive problems. It can't
be sustained under the current trajectory period. End of story. So, Haakim,
what's your answer? While you fight to protect all the

(04:41):
things that DOGE is trying to cut out of the
budget and hate the work that DOGE is doing, you're
not offering any solutions. Oh well, that is the current
Democrat party just screaming and yelling and wailing and gnashing
of teeth and offering no alternatives. That's a problem they're
stuck with. But ay, event, Donald Trump had something to

(05:07):
say to Congress from sc yesterday. Ready, here is a quote.
Thank you to the House of Freedom Caucus for just
delivering a big blow to the radical left Democrats and
their desire to raise taxes and shut our country down.
That's all in caps with an exclamation point. They hate
America and all it stands for. That's why they allowed

(05:28):
millions of criminals to invade our nation. Sometimes it takes
great courage to do the right thing. Congressman Thomas Massey
of beautiful Kentucky is an automatic no vote on just
about everything, despite the fact that he has always voted
for continuing resolutions in the past. In all caps, he
should be primaried and I Donald Trump will lead the

(05:51):
charge against him. He's just another all caps grandstander who's
too much trouble and not worth the fight. Reminds me
of Liz Cheney before her historic record breaking fall per
end loss exclamation point, close preen. The people of Kentucky
won't stand for it. Just watch all caps. Do I
have any takers? Triple question mark? Anyway, Thank you again

(06:15):
to the House Freedom Caucus for you a very important vote.
We need to buy some time in order to make
America great again, greater than ever before. Unite and win
and of Donald Trump ex post or truth social media post.
I presume that's where that landed. For his part, Massey
responded saying he's not going anywhere. Quote. Someone thinks they

(06:39):
can control my voting card by threatening my reelection. Guess
what doesn't work on me? Three times I've had a
challenger who tried to be more maga than me. None
busted twenty five percent because my constituents prefer transparency in
principles overblind allegiance. Retort from Congressman Massy, it's up an

(07:00):
interesting uh interesting thing going on here between the Trump
administration and Congressman's mass. He's principled. I mean, I understand
why he's a no on this. I get it all
day long, and he's always stood on his principles. I
think his biggest concern is it doesn't do enough by
way of cuts. But we have Republicans we need to

(07:22):
deal with that aren't as interested in, you know, slimming
down the size and scope of government as others are.
You know, there are different stripes of Republicans within the
Republican Party, and of course all the Democrats are uniformly
a no on literally anything Trump does. So you have
Trump Arrangement syndrome on one side, meaning you need all
the Republicans to get around this continuing resolution or it's

(07:44):
not going to go through. And the idea of the
continuing resolution, of course, is to buy time so we
can do the budget reconciliation, which may come with a
lot of great things in terms of cutting and pairing
back the size and scope of government, a variety of things,
including you know, legislatively confirming the Doge cuts, or legislatively

(08:06):
approving or you know, stamping of approval so they can
avoid litigation over the Doge cuts. Anyhow, I don't know
how you feel about it, Feel free to chime in
five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty, five hundred, eight
hundred eighty two three taco with pound five fifty on
AT and T phones. Meanwhile, back over the border with
a giant WTF question mark on this one. Wow, Bipartisan

(08:28):
support it does exist from time to time. How about this?
A four hundred and two to one vote House of
Representatives passed yesterday Bill aimed at cracking down a Mexican
cartel's use of tunnels underneath the southwestern border to get
illegal immigrants into our country, along with fentanyl. You may

(08:53):
notice that fentanyl's a problem. Trade wars over fentanyl.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
More on that. With the stock market losing four trillion
dollars in value some say because of the tariffs anyway,
overwhelming bipartisan support for this bill. The only dissenter bat
crap insane leftist Marxist represented Rashida to the Lee Democrat Michigan.

(09:20):
It's bill's spot primary sponsor, Representative Ilukraine, Republican of Arizona,
but also co sponsored by Representative Luke Correra of Democrat
of California. It's the Subterranean Border Defense Act, which would
direct US Customs and Border Protection to submit an annual
report to Congress about cartel's use of tunnels and how
US law enforcement was looking to combat it. Representative the Ukrane.

(09:46):
Since nineteen ninety, officials have discovered more than one hundred
and forty tunnels that have breached the US border within
eighty percent increase in tunnel activity occurring since two thousand
and eight, with border crossings thankfully going down since January. First,
I think it's to assume this will drive threats to
our border underground through these tunnels. Democrat Carrera. I believe

(10:08):
this bill is an important step in the right direction, said,
If it would pass, it would been proved Congress's efforts
to counter illicit cross border tunnels and hold bad actors accountable. Wow. Well,
it's nice to see by partisanship along along the line,
well for most people. But what the hell is with

(10:29):
Rashida Talib when asked by Fox News submitted a comment
or a quest for a comment from her office. What
do you think the response was? Right, did not immediately
hear back. So voting no on this one can only

(10:50):
conclude that she once tunnels underneath our border, that she
is in favor of the well continuing illegal immigration population.
And she may very well be in favor of that.
But what about the drugs? An idiot? Five sixteen fifty
five kr Steve Talk Station, Steve, hang on one second,

(11:10):
if you don't mind, We've got a few words and
then I will take your call. I'll be right back.

the road. It's just insane. I enjoy driving so much
that it doesn't bother me so much. They're crazy people
out there, except when I'm on my motorcycle. It's a
chess game. You have to pay attention to the road.
You need to look out for morons and idiots more

please wear a helmet. Let's do it. Steve's got Steve,

Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Hey, Brian, how you doing today?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Doing great? Man? I hope you can say the same.

Speaker 7 (12:43):
Fantastic.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
Hey, listen, I'm a big fan of Thomas Massey's but
I'm a little tired of his intransigence. This is a
binary choice and by choosing to do what he has done,
he's essentially voting with the Democrats. So to me, why
not make your point very clear? Say it's not what

(13:04):
I like, but again it's it's the I'd rather have
fifty percent of something than one hundred percent of nothing. Yeah,
and that's where Thomas says, and I'm just I'm tired
of it now. Again he's a good man, but boy,
he's wrong on the last couple of things. You gotta
you gotta play ball to get something done.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I understand your point all day long. Steve and I'm
gonna ask him about that when he's on the show tomorrow,
and I know, I feel like I'm pretty confident knowing
what he's gonna say. But you know, is this a
hill you want to die on? And I guess this
point will be that he'll get re elected. And I
appreciate the voters in Kentucky electing him, so, I mean,
you know, make.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Even and he does a great job, but boy gotta
get gotta get something done.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yep. I like your strategy point though, you know it
just it takes the opportunity to make a very profound
point about why you don't want to vote for it,
but for the good of the order and the sake of,
you know, keeping our government open. Maybe that's he doesn't
want the government open. I don't know, but we'll give
an opportunity to speak up on this tomorrow. He's always
welcome on the show. I dearly love the man and

(14:06):
like what he stands for. But you know, I'm kind
of leaning in your direction on this one, Steve, and
I'll be happy to tell him that just because you
know this this is a train wreck coming our way.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Man.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Thank you very much Steve for making the point I
truly appreciate it, all right, Yep, stock market lost four
trillion value and they're blaming Donald Trump's tariffs on this,
so the markets are like getting skittish and jittery. Wall Street.
So far, I've been doing pretty well, but yesterday the
SMP five hundred closed down eight point six percent from

(14:38):
its February nineteenth record, shedding four trillion dollars in market
value since then and nearing a ten percent decline. That
would represent a correction for the index, although in the
background they've been saying it might be a correction for
quite some time. Is it really the Trump tariffs which
really haven't kicked in and earnest yet. Nasdak Tech heavy

(15:01):
down more than ten percent from its December high. Now
that's you know, collective decline since December. So I'll let
you draw your own conclusions on this. But I have
to pivot over to Ontario, which apparently is providing electricity
to several states here in the United States. Ask yourself,
why you know, I'm you know? Do you do you

(15:25):
want to be depended? I mean, we have such a
great relationship with Canada, and I don't think anybody ever
thought it was going to go down the toilet, and
I don't think it has completely gone down the toilet.
But Trump's tariffs have obviously caused a rift between our countries.
And you can't always rely on a foreign government to
provide you with a life necessity, in this particular case, electricity.

(15:45):
So Ontario Premieer Doug Ford has followed through with his
pledge and imposing a twenty five percent tariff on electricity
exported it to the US because of the tariffs, New York,
Michigan and Minnesota are the ones that are the recipients
of Ontario's energy generation. So the tariff wanted to affect yesterday.
Here you go. Here's where the reality hits, bumping up

(16:08):
the cost of electricity for one point five million households
and businesses in those states. Tariff will be paid by
utility providers in the three states. The province will net
and estimated three hundred to four hundred thousand dollars every
single day. So Ontario will benefit from this, But when

(16:28):
the rubber finally meets the road, it's written that the
tariff will add roughly one hundred dollars per month to
the rate payers built Ford said, I feel terrible for
the American people, because it's not the American people who
started this trade war. Trade war. It's obviously related to

(16:49):
Trump's twenty five percent tariffs on items imported from Canada.
Although they were paused for a while, they're still there.
So you know, this is one of the things where
I don't know that I'm necessarily in going back to
the whether or not you're on congressom mess the's very
principled side and wanting to vote knowing the continuing resolution.

(17:11):
I'm not an always trumper, and these tariffs kind of
puzzle me. Again. Reciprocal tariffs, in my mind, are okay,
if you're tariffing our country, we're going to tariff your country.
What's the point of all these tariffs leveling the playing field,
but enacting tariffs in order to get another government to

(17:32):
do something that maybe isn't in its best interest. I
don't know. This is how you end up in a
trade war, which we may very well be in right
now given the market's reaction to this. Markets go up
and markets go down. I've lived through quite a few
of these cycles before in my life. Five twenty five
right now for the five kc DE talk station, feel
free to call maybe you got a different opinion, or

(17:53):
maybe some other topic you want to talk about. Beyond that,
I'll get to local stories coming up next. Stick Around

calls from anybody literally, So feel free to call five
one three S fifty hundred eight two three talk, get
a load of this one and prompt to Andrew Rowan.
WCPO is Andrew Rowan reporting on this City Council activities.
Yesterday they approved the motion to allocate about a million

(19:20):
dollars for new fleet vehicles for the Department of Public Services,
since any Fire Department and CINCINNTI Police Department. The funding
aimed at allowing the city to purchase new dump trucks
to better prepare for winter weather. Obviously, the response of
the snow in January wasn't really that adequate. Six hundred

(19:40):
city streets were not even bothered in twenty percent of
the city's winter operation fleet was out of service. Five
poin two vote, voting against Seth Walsh and Vice Mayor
jan Michelle lemon Kearney. We'll get to the reasons why
they voted no. Motion allocates one two and ninety four

(20:01):
thousand dollars from the Capital Project Fund three hundred thousand
of which will go to the Camp Washington Skate Park project.
Joff Drekker had a reaction to that one nine ninety
four thousand and eight dollars for DPS, Fire and Police
Fleet needs motion reads These were funds intended to be

(20:25):
used for one time capital expenses. Jeff Camerdon, councilman candidate Camerton,
said the motion was an important first step. Underscored that
word I did toward improving the city's fleet. Quote, and
you'll love this quote. We've kicked the can down the
road for years. That's the reason the fleet's in such
poor shape. Clothes quote Now, what else? What haven't they
kicked down the road for years? The roads themselves? Right, Jeez,

(20:52):
Louise And who's been in charge of the city of
Cincinnati now for the past four decades? Who? Who? Thank you,
Tom wherever you happen to be in our thoughts, in prayers,
and as Andrew Road observes, the money will do little
to fix the problem. At most, it affords the Department

(21:14):
of Public Services count them too dump trucks. For his part,
counselman Seth Walsh quote, I don't want people to be
misled to think that today's allocation in any way makes
any indentation on any of the problems that we have experienced,
called the funding largely symbolic, symbolic of their struggle against reality.

(21:36):
Most notedly advocating for a more substantial approach to addressing
the fleet's needs, he advocated using existing bonding opportunities. For
her part, Vice MARYA Ja Michelle Woman Kearney said a
holistic approach to upgrades would be more appropriate. Joe, do
you know what that means? Skate park? Oh? Okay, are

(22:01):
you ready? In the meantime, she advocated using capital reserve
dollars not for the deteriorating fleet, but for projects such
as the Clifton Cultural Arts Centers Headquarters, Artworks, Creative Campus,
Art Park, and the Winon Hills Community Center. Joe just

(22:27):
interjected a political campaign opportunity or support opportunity. We need
Corey badly, Corey Booker or mayor. Kearny said, we need
these organizations the one the ones I judge meant just
mentioned to get funded and get funded right now. Someone wrote,
why question mark. Our fleet needs to get funded as well,

(22:50):
but the fleet needs to wait until we have a
comprehensive plan.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Well, we're.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
For his part, Jerry mcleeese, regional vice president of Ohio's
Council Aid and Local Union two forty president, described the
funding as a positive first step, saying, while it seems
like it's a minute drop in the bucket, at least
it's something in that bucket. Three years after condemnation, former

(23:27):
Forest Fair Mall will soon be demolished and redeveloped. Apparently
it's gone through several ownerships and has had high vacancy.
We all remember that Fairfield City Council a prow moving forward.
The demolition redevelopment planned last night's meeting. Twenty eighteen, the
parking structure was closed for failure of a fire suppression system,

(23:48):
and in twenty twenty two, the inside of the mall
was condemned due to health and safety concerns. Cole's the
only remaining store. It will be leaving next month. Apparently
lots of vandals. It's fallen prey to vandals, break ins,
and weather and time, because obviously they're not maintaining and

(24:13):
upkeeping it because there's no reason to. You know, buildings
tend to deteriorate, roads fall apart if they're not well maintained.
Going back to other things that the City of Cincinnati
has been kicking the can down the road on five

it's not a stupid It is that time of the
morning show. We go to Detroit what is described as

(25:59):
a new level of distracted driving. I guess the bar
has been raised. Fifty eight year old man allegedly preoccupied
by a pornographic movie on his cell phone, crashed and
rolled his vehicle, all while not wearing pants. What do
you think he was doing? Joe. All happened at three

(26:20):
thirty in the morning on Sunday I seventy five in Detroit, Michigan,
accord to State Police. Michigan State Police Lieutenant Mike Shaws,
speaking with CBS. That is the strangest thing he's ever
encountered on the roadway. Quote, we see people putting on makeup,
we see people doing different things as far as hygiene,
as far as reading books. It's almost to the fact
there's so much technology out there, a lot of people
are paying more attention to what they're doing other than

(26:43):
driving their cars. Going back to my point about please
look out for motorcyclists, it is that time of the year.
Clifford Ray Jones of Detroit partially ejected through the sun
roof when his nineteen ninety six Toyota rolled over and
he was thrown from the VFA and died. No other

(27:03):
drivers were hit. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Indeed,
I did see a guy driving down seventy one one
morning with a full laptop on his dashboard, and I

(27:27):
do believe he was watching a pornographic movie as he
sailed by at high speed. Not a good idea. Women
recently arrested in Florida after attacking a man with a
can of pringles and possibly causing him permanent disfigurement. According
to law enforcement. Shanika Sardhal twenty eight years old, now

(27:50):
accused of one kind of aggravated battery. According to an
Orange County Sheriff's Office, incident occurred Thursday last at seven
to eleven on International Drive in Orlando. Deputy arrived in
response to a call about a physical fight at the
convenience store. The victim, a man, told the deputy that quote,
a male approached him and made a comment to him
about his vehicle. Then inside the store, the victim asked

(28:12):
the defendant if she was with the man who had
inquired about his vehicle. Abruptly, the victim stated that Shanika
eventually struck him in the eye with a Pringle's chip
can and took off running cord of the Affidavid. While
speaking with the victim, I observed that the victim had
a significant cut in his right eyebrow and below his eye,

(28:35):
causing him to believe the cut looks significant and appeared
that it would have a scar and permanent disfigurement. Later,
law enforcement caught up with Saradal south of the seven
eleven after the victim identified her as the alleged culprit.
She was detained and brought back to the scene of
the crime corner of the Affidavid I asked Shanika what happened,
and she advised me the while she was inside the
seven eleven, the victim was saying rude things to her

(28:56):
and being disrespectful, Deputy said. Shanika said the victor him
at one point called her a C word. Schneik admitted
that due to the victim being rude to her, she
hit him. Man who was attacked over said he was
not being rude at all. Quote. As I pulled up
to the seven eleven, there was a guy sitting outside
and I got out of the car. He said something
underneath his breath, so I ignored him. A walk into

(29:17):
the seven eleven. So I was standing in the line.
There was a young lady in front of me talking
to the cashier. She seemed like she'd been drinking, so
if she stood to the side, and as I was
about to pay for my drink, I asked the young
lady if she knew the guy outside. Victim said surety,
then turned around and hit me in the eye and
above my eye with this Pringle's chip can and split
my brow above my eye just seven eleven employee witnessed

(29:42):
the incident and vouched with the victim's version a male
customer got in the head got hit in the head
by a Pringles can. According to the employee, all the
guy did. All the guy was doing was informing me
of another male customer that was laying down on the
side of the building. A female called the guy a
b I don't know what the word is. Figured it

(30:02):
out for yourself. It's just be with a line after it,
and whacked him with the Prinles can, which literally was
flying down one of the aisles. The male customer's eyebrow
was split open, deputy said. The deff was initially found
with a can of Pringles on her person asked her
if she paid for the can, and she allegedly replied
that she was unsure. No dad is listening, isn't he

(30:29):
dude to not having immediate access to the camera. Shaniko
was not charged for the petty theft due to lack
of evidence at the time in the arrest. Defendant arrested
that same day. She was not listed as an inmate
of the Orange County Jail as of the time of
the reporting. I didn't know you could do that much

(30:50):
I will take your call when you get back after
I mentioned Foreign Exchange, because it's a great place to
take your car to be serviced if it's traditionally imported
manufactured car, whether it's from Asia or Europe or made
here in the United States with a traditional Asian or
European moniker. Foreign Exchange. What the point of foreign Exchange
is It changes is to saving money, and always saving
money is important to me. But you have nothing to

(31:12):
worry about. Your car will be serviced by an a
SC certified Master technician and they have access to your
manufacturer's technical information and they can do like for example,
software updates everything they fixed our cars over the years.
They do a wonderful job, and I have saved heap
loads of money, or our family has generally because we
all take our cars to Foreign Exchange. So get a

(31:34):
full warranty on parts and service and pay less money
than the dealer and probably have a much better experience
because there's such nice people at Foreign Exchange. And the
Westchester location is what I'm specifically speaking of because that's
where we have been going now for years and years.
Just hit the Tylersville egsitt off of I seventy five
East and go to street, hang a right on the
second street. It's not that far. I don't even think

(31:55):
it's like an eighth of a mile off that exchange
right there. So confidently lie on Ford Exchange. I have,
and I'm very happy about it. They're wonderful people. Five

the stacker stupid. Let's hear from Mississippi James. Welcome back,
my friend. Good to hear from me this morning.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Good morning, doctor Brian. Let me put a couple of things.
Get your prospective bonus. What a fifty percent approval rating
be good?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay these try in these times, I'd say that's pretty good.
No one gets more than fifty percent these days. Okay,
I suppose it depends, But it depends on what you're
talking about. You know, there are overwhelming majorities, like, for example,
people who don't believe that men should or women should play,
or men should play against women in sports. You get

(33:47):
like an eighty five percent of the population says no,
that's just not right, it's unfair. But in terms of
political approval rating, you're hard pressed to find somebody that's
got fifty percent.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
But go ahead, okay, I'll give Trump a fifty percent
approval rating.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
You know, now if we look at it from another angle,
we know fifty is off.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
That's a failure. So you could.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yeah, it just all depends on where you are stationed
in life. Now, if you're in the one percent of
two percenters, hey, that's good for you. But if you're
on the other.

Speaker 11 (34:24):
End of the spectrum, it may be bad for you.
So you know, people have to look at where they're
in life, what their gender, and quit expecting policy in
this time. Now they shift again where the politics are
the people we sent to Congress do for the majority.
It'll never satisfy everybody. You do want to see that

(34:47):
majority going and people, And to me, I look at
it just as praying. You know, we'll have people beg
in God to do things for us that technically we
could do for ourselves.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh I was waiting for that. Thank you. You know,
it's just like Europe relying on the United States to
be it's a police department. You know, you shouldn't have
to rely on some other country because the dynamics and
politics may change. And you might be without a police
department for lack of preparation. Take care of yourself. Do
not look to government to solve the problems in your world,
because you will always end up on the disappointment side

(35:22):
and the low approval rating. Yeah, excellent exclamation point.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Get it. We got to get it out there. Where
were more people understand this? Yes, you know, instead of
the bashing and tef smashing and scratching.

Speaker 11 (35:38):
Hey, let's bring it on the.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Positive side and explain to peoples and those they get
it will get it. Those that don't, hey.

Speaker 12 (35:48):
They won't.

you coming back into town.

say five fifty three to fifty five kirsh DETALKX station.
I can get one more stupid story, and I saw

(36:18):
this one the other day. Joe, Joe putt it out
for the stack of stupid this morning, a Russian spa
in San Francisco named Archimedes Banya apparently entered into a
controversial situe. Entered into a controversial situation because it decided
one night a month that were going to have a
ladies' night in order to preserve what they described as

(36:38):
a phallic free space. The night at the full nude
SPA note that only scheduled again once a month. Transgender
people and their allies expressing outrage that the SPA was
trying to exclude biological males from ladies' night going to
the backcrap insanity of this whole concept. It's not about

(37:02):
one night. It's a symptom of a deeper problem, and
it's going to become worse if we don't speak up
against it now, said one account on Reddit whose name
referred to satanic themes. Transgender person from Oakland, Razelle Swimmer,
who had what was described as bottom surgery, canceled a
plan to go to the SPA as a birthday treat.

(37:25):
Swimmer said, I don't have a fallus. I've been erased
in that statement, and it almost certainly erased trans men
from this will a fallus free transman showing up in
ladies' night only night be accepted or rejected. It's totally unclear.

Speaker 10 (37:40):
Wow, nobody can.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Joe said he was chiming in on behalf of the
eighty five percent. It's a privately run business man. You
gotta play by their rules. Five five, Well, this is
the world we live in now. Have you ever been
in the cockpit before? Not that one night and not
that one night, Joe, one night a month only you

(38:20):
can't call it that stick around pleay to talk about
in this six o'clock hour, you know, and more of
that anyhow. I'll be back after the news.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Six six here at fifty our karrosit talk station. If
you're all having a happy Tuesday, one hour from now,
looking forward to having it back in studio. Former an
Inspector General Todd Zenzer, host of the Citizen Watchdog podcast
Joe Chreker produced broadcast I might under score. If you
need a podcast produced called Joe Strekker, I'll be happy
to do it for you anyway. Todd Zenser returns to

(39:05):
talk about Hyde Park and the efforts to remake Hyde Park.
I guess build giant buildings and tear down the original
old school look of it. A lot of citizens in
Hyde Park not thrilled about that. That brought to you
by the City of Cincinnati city budget. Speaking of the
City of Cincinnati, we'll talk about that with Todd and
I don't know, but he does. He'll explain the ARC program.

(39:28):
That'll be the Hour with Todd Zends or Inside Scoop
with Bred Part. It is Tuesday. We do that every Tuesday.
Bright Part reporter Randy Clark joins the program to talk
about the border and the return of Daniel Davis for
the Deep Dive every Tuesday at eight thirty. And were
of course going to get an update on the latest
with Russia and the Ukraine. So Jack added in Thomas
Massey and Jason and Paula Tana tomorrow in the Morning show,

(39:49):
and of course I will ask Thomas Massey about Donald Trump, well,
calling him out and demanding he get primaried, because Thomas
has already expressed he's going to be a no vote
on the Continuing Resolution. Don't know whether you're in favor
of that, should he sacrifice his principles in order to
get that done, or should he stand on his principles anyway,

(40:10):
I said it was going to continue this bad crap insanity.
Of course, the one night a month women's only naked
Russian spa in San Francisco got in the transgender community
all out of whack and upset. So let's go to
where you count and where your money is being spent. Man,

(40:34):
this is just cancelation after cancelation, and quite revealing. They
are US Department of Agriculture canceled a grant worth six
hundred thousand dollars. I know it's a drop in the
bucket in terms of federal government spending, but every little
bit counts. Cancel the grant worth six hundred thousand dollars
for the study of menstrual cycles in transgender men Southern

(41:00):
University Agriculture Mechanical College in Louisiana, the recipient of the grant.
Grant description reads the first occurrence of menstruation occurs at
approximately twelve years of age and ends it with menopause
at roughly fifty one years of age. A woman will
have a monthly mentoral cycle for about forty years of
her life. Averaging about four hundred and fifty periods over

(41:22):
the course of her lifetime. Okay, I don't think this
was information that was held from the public or not
widely understood by the general public. Description also says it's
important to recognize that transgender men and people with masculine
gender identities, intersects, and non binary persons may operative word

(41:44):
also menstruate. At any given moment. About twenty six percent
of the world's population is menstruating. What was the point
of the study to address growing concerns related to menstruation? Joe,
is this something you've had growing concerns about for a while?

(42:05):
I mean, I know, not a topic you think about much.
And does anybody believe that there are growing concerns related
to transgender menstruation only among those holding their hands out
to receive grants I might speculate or assert anyway in

(42:26):
addition to addressing grown concerned lad administruation, including growing concerns
regarding the potential use of natural fibers such as hemp
in feminine hygiene Project products. Okay, okay, if that's a thing,
let it be a thing. If there is a market
for hemp hygiene Project products that make them. Put them
on the market, see if people will buy them. You
could advertise that they're better for the environment. Perhaps you

(42:49):
may have a audience out there for people who menstrate
that might want to buy Hemp Feminine Hygiene Project products.
But you need to fund a college with six hundred
thousand dollars to do that. The grand had been scheduled
to remain in progress until April twenty twenty seven. Props

(43:10):
to the nonprofit American Principles Project, which uncovered this ridiculous
grant identified more than three hundred and forty federal grants
issued during the Biden administration for various institutions like colleges
and hospitals, totally more than one hundred and twenty eight
million in federal funds. Wow, there's a whole lot more.

(43:35):
Let's see what Pat's got first, though, Love the callers, Pat,
welcome to the program, and a happy Tuesday to you.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
Good morning, sir. You definitely let some flames underneath me today.
Isn't it funny how the full circle of hemp has
to come back on us because it was a very
reliable fiber. And they've even found hemp clothing and tombs
in Egypt. Yeah, and that was by mister Hurst so
he could sell more cotton economics. Baby, that's what runs the.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
World, amen, brother.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
But what I was going to really get to is
the power plants. Isn't it funny how the chickens have
come home to roost because they have to buy power
from Canada. New York is one of those states where
they knock down their power plants that were cold fired,
that will probably be burning ninety seven percent clean, but
in the name of climate change, they flatten them. Now

(44:26):
they got to buy their power from somewhere else, and
all of a sudden it's gotten more expensive because maybe
the people in Ohio aren't selling people plants in Ohio
were selling New York power because New York was losing
their power grid and their ability to sustain it. So
here we are chasing our tails. The circular firing squad

(44:49):
is proving itself again to be not real.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Bright right exactly, not looking out for their own best centers,
not anticipating that the dynamics can change the world's an
imperfect place. Relationships get you know, broken, and uh well,
and the sun doesn't shine right and the wind doesn't blow,
So how you can rely on solar panels and a
windmill to keep your power on. You literally cannot do that.
And if you've shut down your nuclear plants and your

(45:13):
other in your gas power plants, and your other available
electricity sources that are reliable continuously night day, wind or
no wind, then you have well set yourself up for
blanking disaster. I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 7 (45:28):
And in the meantime, everybody else has to pay more
for power because New Yorkers are betting a higher price
per kilowatt hour than the people in Ohio are. And
then all of a sudden, the people in Ohio have
a higher electric bill because they let Beckjor get flattened.
And then right now that big Zimmer that was going
to be nuclear is a coal plant, but they're shut

(45:50):
it down. Oh please don't let it get flattened, because
then we will be up a creek with no paddle
on a cold winter day.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Certainly possible, certainly possible. Appreciate your observations, Pat, I can't
argue with them. And you know you can look to
Germany's another illustration of the stupidity. You know, they're the
ones that are screaming and yellow about us cutting off
foreign aid to Ukraine because well, they want the war
to continue because they're worried about Ussia invading them or something. Meanwhile,
they're buying natural gas from oh, that's right, Russia. Why

(46:21):
because while they shut down their own nuclear plants and
they think windmills and solar pans are going to solve
their problem in an effort to create this zero carbon
emission society, which literally isn't if they're still burning natural
gas which they buy from Russia, which of course helps
Russia and its bottom line and funds their military in
some indirect way. Perhaps it's just insane circular firing squad

(46:43):
like that. That's pretty much what this all is. And
it's all built on the climate myth. I mean, look
out into the world, the literally trillions and trillions of
dollars that Western nations underscore have spent pursuing this zero
carbon myth. It's plant food, folks. But because we've all

(47:09):
been indoctrinated a believing that our exhalation is killing the planet.
How we want to get rid of cows because of
the methane from their flatulence, based on the idea that
they're heating the planet up, But they're not heating the
planet up. I mean, climate change is legitimate, always has

(47:31):
and always will change ebbs and flows in the climate cycle.
It's been happening since the Earth was created. But no,
this time it's our fault and we were jeopardizing our
own existence chasing this dream. It's insane, absolutely insane. But
you know, more and more people are backing off of it,

(47:52):
including DP British patroying I saw an article just a
moment ago earlier this morning, or they're moving back to drilling.
They're getting away from this climate ideology. Why because it's
not making many money in the shareholders are really upset
about it. They got an obligation to make money. Profit
maximization is a fiduciary obligation by the board of directors.

(48:16):
But more and more entities, more and more countries are
waking up and realizing that no, this is all a
myth and a dream, and we're not going to continue
down that road. And good save us from ourselves. And
Greta Thunberg six fifteen fifty five KRC detalk station. How
about Gata Heaven Cemetery located in Montgomery, a really beautiful,
beautiful setting. You know, they encourage folks, you know, everyone's

(48:39):
open to enjoy the beautiful setting. You want a quiet
contemplation moment. You want a moment to you know, enjoy nature,
maybe engage in some prayer or just quiet contemplation. You're
in the right place at having Cemetery. Montgomery got the
winding roads and pathways, the monuments, statues and shrines, seasonal flowers,
lawns are always well attended. Reflective water features enhance the

(49:00):
tranquil atmosphere, and again a perfect location for prayer and reflection,
especially during the Latin season as they observe. So find
comfort and peace in the Cemetery's quiet reverence surroundings open
to everyone. I'll underscore that again. Ministering to the Tristate

to three talk. Looking at little efforts here and there
in this hour in terms of cutting and relating it
back to all of the crazy DEI stuff that's going
on in the world. There's a separate study on the

(50:37):
vast amount of money, taxpayer money that the Biden administration unleashed,
and all these different federal agencies concerning DEI, but one
little slover of it US Environmental Protection Agency EPA. Lee Zelden,
he's the administrator, now announced that his department canceled over
four hundred DEI and Environmental Justice grants. Environmental Justice the

(51:00):
savings almost two billion dollars, EPA said yesterday. The grants
were canceled with the assistance of the Department of Governmental Efficiency.
Grants reportedly identified across nine unnecessary programs, savings one point
seven billion. According to the relations from Zelden that this

(51:21):
marks the fourth round of EPA DOGE partnered cancelations as
the administrator oversees a line by line review of spending,
bringing the total taxpayer dollars saved to more than two
billion dollars. Since being sworn in, EPA Administrator Zelden, working
hand in hand with Doge to rein in wastefuls federal spending,
EPA has saved more than two billion in taxpayer money.

(51:42):
It is our commitment at EPA to be exceptional stewards
of taxpayer dollars that a couple of weeks after Zelden
previously pledged to recover the twenty billion in taxpayer funds
lost by the Biden administration to climate projects. There you
go with the climate projects again. You know it's a
mini industry. These projects fail time after time after time,

(52:05):
even with the assistance of taxpayer dollars. This infusion of
cash from the federal government thanks to your labor, gets
handed out to hand picked friends of government. It's the
old throwing the gold bars off the Titanic, and that's
what exactly happened the end of the Biden administration. The
un least is twenty billion dollars and it went to

(52:26):
City Bank to lock it up there so City Bank
can select these individual organizations to be recipients of the money. Thankfully,
responsible individuals now in charge are taking and getting the
money back, and in terms of how much overall money.
There was a stublic study published this week regarding the
Biden administrations infusing DEI policies into the federal government. New study,

(52:52):
conducted by Functional Government Initiative and the Center for a
Renewing America identified four nine and sixty programs in twenty
four government agencies and the Biden administration that diverted resources
to DEI at initiatives. At least, are you ready one
trillion taxpayer dollars infused with DEI principles. Study lays out

(53:16):
DEI infusion across several agencies, including the Defense departments planned
to quote integrate environmental economic justice tools into training femas
need to quote instill equity as a foundation of emergency management,
and the labor departments pushed to quote imbed equity in

(53:37):
sustainable in a sustainable manner that recognizes the multiple and
overlapping identities held by workers. What a bunch of psychobabble.
Apparently his first day in off is Biden's Executive Order
one three nine eighty five, if you want to look
it up. Aimed at carrying out the stated goal of

(53:58):
advancing equity and racial justice through the federal government, this
order mandated a whole of government approach and into injecting
DEI philosophy into the federal budget. In alignment with this director,
the Biden administration apparently spend trillions of DEI related initiatives
in a manner and at speed that has shrouded public
awareness of the financial burden. This is the first I
learned of the total quantity of money it was injected

(54:21):
to rethink government along these lines. Cumulative budget project programs
they wrote exceeds one point one trillion a quarter of
the report. However, this figure does not encompass all DEI
related expenditures, nor does it include every program across these agencies.
The findings reveal a substantial increase in DEI spending, largely
attributable to policy directors under the Biden administration. Yeah, I

(54:44):
think this is a way to absorb up all the
college education degrees in studies programs that had absolutely no
value to society. You've got to create a demand and
DEI by infusing it into all areas of government, it
created demand for these different AIS agencies within the various agencies, like,
for example, the Defense Department to open up DEI offices

(55:05):
to hire a bunch of egghead college grads that had
degrees in DEI or something. The only conclusion I can reach, sorry,
you're going to have to go out and line and
learn a life skill that is actually demanded by society,
going back to the laws of supply and demand and
a free economy. People don't want it, you don't build it.

(55:27):
But in the case of the federal government. If you
don't want it, they create it and mandate it and
make it by edict and create the demand artificially, which
of course is why you're going to work today, so
you can earn money so they can take a chunk
of it to fund programs that no one really wants
and don't really benefit anybody. Six twenty five Ffty five

I want to mention QC Kinetics to deal with your pain.
And you know I've been asking these questions out loud
on behalf of people with pain. Whether or not you're
a good candidate for QC Kinetics is I don't know,

(56:14):
But if you answer yes to any of the questions,
then yeah you may be. And they'll offer you a
free consultation to talk about this regenerative medicine, the therapies
they offer that can provide lasting pain relief, maybe for you.
An The point is, maybe that's why you meet with
them for free to find out if you're a good candidates.
Your quality of life impacted by chronic pain, knees hip, shoulders,
other areas, joint pain. You got trouble sleeping, walking, doing

(56:38):
day to day movement. Maybe don't you want to avoid surgery.
I can't imagine someone who's looking forward to it. There's
a lot of pain that can go along with it.
You got recovery and of course pt for a long
period of time, and you don't know if it's ultimately
going to work. And finally, do you miss doing things
that you love because joint pain is holding you back
just every day activities like simply like walking or golfing,
or jogging or riding a bike. So if yes, the

(57:01):
four going, you probably are great candidates that don't wait
call for the take them up on the opportunity. It's
a free consultation and that way you can learn about
the regenitive medicine that they provide and no drugs, no

to Andrew Rowin from WCPO reporting this is so silly.
Council Committee approved emotion yesterday to allocate about one million
dollars for new fleet vehicles for the Department of Public Safety,

(59:04):
Cincinni Fire Department and since anti police department funding aimed to,
in their words, allow the city to purchase new dump
trucks to better prepare for winter weather, obviously on the
heels of the poor response of the winter weather we
had in January, where a whole bunch of streets were
not even dealt with six hundred specifically and twenty percent
of the city's winter operation fleet described as out of service.

(59:26):
Motion passed with a five to two vote. Two council
members Seth Walsh and Vice Mayor Jean Michelle lemon Kearney
voted no for different reasons. So the motion actually allocates
one basically one point one point three million dollars from
the Capital Project fund, with three hundred thousand of that
going to the Camp Washington Skate Park project and the

(59:49):
balance going to the Department of Public Services, Fire and
Police Fleet needs. Motion reads these were funds intended to
be used for one time capital expenses. Jeff Camerton counts
some ofbur Camerting said the motion was an important first
step toward improving the city's fleet weave. This is a quote.
We've kicked the can down the road for years. That's
the reason the fleet's in such poor shape. Close quote.

do you have a choice, folks. Sadly, the money will
do a little to fix the problem, as reported. At most,

(01:00:31):
it allows DPS the purchase of two count them dump trucks.
For his part, Seth Walla's Countsman Wallash, I don't want
people to be misled to think today's allocation in any
way makes an indentation on any of the problems that
we have experienced, calling the funding largely symbolic, and advocating

(01:00:52):
for a more substantial approach to addressing the fleet needs.
He advocated using existing bonding opportunities. For her part, Vice
Mayor Jamichelle lemon Kearney said a holistic approach to upgrades
will be more appropriate, and I don't know what that means.
But in the meantime, though, she would like the using
capital Reserve dollars for projects such as the Clifton Cultural

(01:01:15):
Arts Center's headquarters, Artworks Creative Campus, Art Park, and the
Winton Hills Community Center. Is that a priority for the
residents of the City of Cincinnati, That's a priority for
her anyway, she said, we need these organizations to get
funded and to get funded right now. Our fleet needs

(01:01:37):
get funded as well. But the fleet needs need to
wait until we have a comprehensive plan. Well, isn't an
incremental purchase of vehicles a comprehensive plan. If they don't
have the money to buy as much fleet as they
need right now, then maybe buying a couple of dump
trucks will be a step toward a complete fleet that

(01:02:00):
will adequately deal with the needs of the residents of
the City of Cincinnati. Now, you don't want to buy
him in January because the demand is probably up in
January in the price therefore would probably higher in January.
I think you would buy him in the off months
when you don't need a snow removal equipment. Just a thought. March, April, May, June, July, August, September. Yeah,

(01:02:22):
I can't. I don't know, Joe. I haven't priced snow
removal equipment industrial level. Jeremy mclaue, he's the regional vice
president of Ohio Council AID as well as the local
union two forty president, describe the funding as a positive
first step, saying, well, it seems like it's a minute

(01:02:45):
drop in the bucket. At least it's something in that bucket.
She's trying to be practical about it. Six point thirty

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
You see If Todd Zinzer has any to say about
Corey Bowman, an alternative to the current administration, of the
city CINCINNTA. Of course, Cory Bowman is running from the
air of the City of Cincinnati. So far, apparently it's
gotten help from the Republican Party. They're playing nicely together.
Can only hope that that happens and maybe people will
seek out an alternative for a change and give the
other guys a shot. I don't think the Democrats have

(01:05:25):
been working out real well for the residents of the
City of Cincinnati so far. I've got serious problems going on,
and someone knows all about it. What's saii Jim Kiefer,
Welcome back to the program, My dear friend's great having
you on this morning.

Speaker 12 (01:05:38):
Good morning, Brian Thomas.

Speaker 13 (01:05:39):
Yeah, let's flip the natty, buddy. I mean, it's time,
it's way past time to get something in there. And
this is kind of piggybacks on what you were talking
about with the two dump trucks.

Speaker 12 (01:05:50):
That gets me so pissed off.

Speaker 11 (01:05:52):
They got to have some kind of.

Speaker 13 (01:05:53):
Facility management team down there. It's overpriced, probably a three
hundred thousand dollars a year job for some to pick
up you know, cars, trucks. Every once in a while.
You're gonna laugh at this I actually see a Crown
Vic riding around with the police cars or police marked
on the side in the District three.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
I mean that car has to be twenty some years old.
They even make those anymore.

Speaker 13 (01:06:18):
No, they stopped making them years ago, and I was
surprised when it's probably been a couple of months, but
I saw one of these things riding around. It has
to have three hundred thousand plus miles on which is
kind of surprising since I do buy forge, But for
a Ford to last that long is really surprising.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
Especially the wear and tear police put on those cars.
I mean they deal with a lot more wear and
tear than the average driver.

Speaker 13 (01:06:45):
It was a twenty four hour, you know, seven day.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
A week car.

Speaker 13 (01:06:49):
And then they talked about actually buying electric vehicles. You know,
it's a three hundred mile range, let's say, on electric vehicles,
when are they gonna plug it into charge? I mean
you need time to plug in.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Yeah, it's funny because when they were talking about buying
these dump trucks, I did write in the article and
the margins there are they going to be electric? Because
you know the city of Cincinnati has a green agenda
as well. They want to be zero carbon emissions. And
I can't imagine electric dump truck being really effective or
practical under the circumstances.

Speaker 13 (01:07:22):
Oh it'll be fast, I mean it'll get someplace fastest
to four guys in a truck under a tree, But
I won't talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
That one in the middle of the winter when the
batteries don't last as long with electric vehicles. Yeah, just
what you need when you're trying to remove I license snow.

Speaker 13 (01:07:36):
But this city is so horribly run they just what
is it the shoot ready aim or whatever you always
talk about. It's just it's amazing that they can operate
and actually get up in the morning and get anything
done because they just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Don't know what the hell they're doing.

Speaker 13 (01:07:54):
I mean, they've got a lot of overpriced people that
seem to kind of like shoot from the hip, and
like I said, like you said, two dump trucks, they
could probably buy thirty and they'd still be under undermanned,
like the police department.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
That is certainly possible, or even the fire department. But
what's what's with with with the Vice Mayor of wanting
to fund the Clifton Cultural Arts Centers Headquarters and Artworks
Creative Campus Art Park I don't even know what those organizations.

Speaker 13 (01:08:24):
Lives, lives and hangs out. All all the council people
live either in Clifton or on the east side of town,
so you don't have any you know, they forget about that.
It's it's always funny. And I used to talk about
the fact that the Mill Creek actually splits up the
city and the council things that the Mill Creek is

(01:08:44):
in Indiana. It's incredible. It's it's actually incredible. And then
your favorite little pet pet peeve is that that road
that's still is Stah is still mess now now that
the snow is gone, the potholes have opened up even more.

(01:09:05):
It's like route Yeah, I'll go on that road. I
go all the way up the hill just to and
you know, I'll go around. It's like listening to a GPS.
You've got to go around because if you go up sunset,
you're just asking for an alignment.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Oh yeah, I know. I've I've joked about that. Someone
that should open up an alignment store, maybe at the
top and the bottom of the road, because it's it's
just got awful. But it's been that way for years, Jim.
I mean, that's why I keep the fall.

Speaker 12 (01:09:32):
Tip of the iceberg.

Speaker 13 (01:09:34):
Yeah, there's roads like that all over the west Side.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Yeah, west Side is always an afterthought as you observe.

Speaker 13 (01:09:41):
Well, you know, maybe when Corey gets elected that he
can kind of devote some of his time over here
because it's he's i know, his second opening and his
second kickoff is coming up and it hasn't been announced
where yet, but we're working on him to maybe have
a third one at Pricel Chili.

Speaker 12 (01:10:01):
Just that's kind of the place to go if you're
a Republican.

Speaker 13 (01:10:04):
They have an event up there, I'm sure that'll pack
them in.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Yeah, and if I if I plan on attending it,
it means don't take Sunset.

Speaker 13 (01:10:14):
Well I was going to invite you, but yeah, I
don't think you know. And the car that you drive
is kind of like the well, I don't have the
car that you drive, but something similar that's load to
the ground. I wouldn't even venture. And not the Queen
City is any better. I mean, you go of Queen
City and you got to turn on Sunset, I mean
you got to dodge them, and luckily you got a

(01:10:34):
car that can maneuver around some of those as long
as there's not somebody without insurance going up next to you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Yeah, but if you maneuver around one, you end up
going into another one. Yeah, my car's not that big.
I'll fall into the pothole. It's like driving into a sinkhole.
Those things are so bad anyhow.

Speaker 13 (01:10:51):
Just think the person behind you is going to be
in a night and nice little as he cruises over
your your top and your hood and your trunk, that'll
fill up the hole.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
He's looking for a bit, looking for a bride.

Speaker 13 (01:11:04):
Unbelievable, Brian, It's unbelievable the way this.

Speaker 12 (01:11:06):
City is run.

Speaker 13 (01:11:07):
Yes, I mean I just shakes my head, shakes my head.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
YEP, I understand, and I hear you out loud, and
I cannot disagree in iota. I fortunately don't live in
a city, and I hate to have to say that,
but you know, I've received emails from folks as I'm out.
I left. I left for the reasons you're talking about,
and that's not an uncommon occurrence here. On the fifty
five KCE Morning Show, So.

Speaker 13 (01:11:30):
And Brian listen, I'd be great to listen to Todd about
Corey because he's been going to the events and we
actually had our our Republican club on the West Side
had the first time that Corey was in public, he
was up there with the other Republican that or the
other gentleman that's running. I had him up there to talk,
you know, on what their values were and what the

(01:11:52):
city was about and this and that. And Corey put
out the plan pretty well much less not what the
other gentleman did well.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
And the other gentleman has been widely reported has a
social media account that is the Touts and has shown
support for Democrats across the board.

Speaker 13 (01:12:08):
Am I right on that, Bett Simpson? Butta jig, you
can go on down the list. Yes, it's not a
not a very favorable resume to you know, back up
on somebody that's running as a Republican.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Yeah, just because you put an R after your name,
Mitch McConnell, doesn't mean that you are true into Republican values.

Speaker 13 (01:12:30):
And exactly and to come out and ask for an
endorsement or state that you're a Republican in those things,
You've got to remember once you put it on the internet,
as a Lincoln says, it's out there forever.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Yes it is. Thankfully that way we can know what
people are truly about based upon what their you know,
statements are in real time permanently.

Speaker 13 (01:12:52):

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
It's six fifty one at fifty five kr seed detalk
station coming up at six fifty two. You know, I'm
really honestly very excited about it is RFK Junior's efforts
to improve America's health. I think it is just we
are behind the eight ball in terms of our health
of BC rates climbing. Of course, more and more diseases
and children are unhealthy. And a lot of it has

(01:15:34):
to do with our food and what we're putting in
our bodies. And I remember there was a restaurant up
in Chicago when I lived there. They had the best
French fries on the planet. And the reason they tasted
so good is because they were deep fried in beef tallow.
A lot of people real with the idea, oh my god,
a beef tawllel. That's just no, no, no, And that's
we moved over to vegetable oil under the argument that
it was better for us. But it turns out, you know,

(01:15:56):
the high heat and temperature and vegetabil the seed oils
are absolutely horrific for your body. Go ahead and look
it up yourself. And a lot of people don't know this,
but alternative to seed oil is beef tllo. It's one
of the main components of processed foods seed oils and
put in everything. Everything requires oil, your salad dressings and

(01:16:18):
all that. So don't go down that road if you
can avoid it. And even though I can't eat French
fries right now since I have, I'm trying to stick
to my lower or low carb diet. Steak and Shake
taking the lead on this one. They now are deep
frying their French fries in beef talo and has anybody
got him yet? Is a noticeable increase or a better taste? Anyway?

(01:16:43):
Robert F. Kennedy Junior went to Steak and Shake over
the weekend. I guess Hannity was with him. He said,
Steak and Shake has been great. We're very grateful to them.
Before r FK ing the French fries, they turned me
into a verb. March First Companies said it officially started
cooking with one percent all now natural beef towel at
all of its location. Chief Global development officer for the

(01:17:04):
company said, at the consumer wants the best and deserves
the best. By adopting one hundredercent beef towel, is Steak
and Shake is delivering the best possible fries and I'm
sure that probably tastes better in addition to being better
for you. RFK said, we want to do everything we
can to incentivize these companies to be transparent, to switch
over from ultra process food, to be part of this
movement to make America healthier. We're poisoning ourselves and it's

(01:17:28):
coming from, you know, principally these ultra processed foods, and
it doesn't want to take anything away from you. This
is the other counterpoint. Unlike democrats, who you know, we're
taking away your straw, we're taking away your plastic bag.
If you get information out into the world about why
certain things are bad either for the environment or for
your body. Let people make smart choices for themselves. You

(01:17:49):
tend to want to do that. Said, people should be
able to make their own choices. If you want to
eat a donut or seed oils, you should be able
to do so. You said you should be able to
exercise informed choice. You should know what the product is,
what's in your food, and what the health impacts are.

(01:18:10):
That's all we're gonna do. Good. That's actually a very
libertarian approach to things. Government is not going to dictate
to you that you can't use seed oils. That'd be
a left wing Democrat fascist way of going about solving
a problem. I don't believe in that, and need that

(01:18:31):
is he but I believe in giving people information. The
better educated you are, the more inform your decisions will be.
And if you go down the wrong road, you'll suffer
the consequences, but it won't be for want of information.
It will be because you chose to ignore the information
provided to you. That's the way life's supposed to be.

have you back in, Todd. It's always a pleasure. Thank you. Brian,
Good morning man. He's got his fingers on the pulse
of what's going on all around the area, including the
city of Cincinnati. We've got some interesting things to talk
about in the city of Cincinnati. First off, how's the
Citizen Watchdog podcast going?

Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
Oh, it's going, it's going great. I really enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
Great. I bet you do. You get talked for a
full hour or whatever on you.

Speaker 4 (01:20:26):
Know when I try to keep it to about ten
minutes or so. Oh, no kidding, Yeah, So people don't
have to listen to me for that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Oh come on, man, you're interesting. And again you have
all the facts. Let's start with this, since at council
meeting yesterday apparently they had a million three laying around
that wasn't used from last year the Capital Project Fund.
You watched this whole council meeting on this, this debate
over where to use that money.

Speaker 4 (01:20:51):
Yes, I did yesterday and the ultimate.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
Vote was to buy a couple of dump trucks to
try to better manage the snow removal, but also spend
three hundred thousand dollars on the Camp Washington skate park project.
Something I had no idea about. Is there a skate
park lobby out there or something.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
There are a lot of enthusiasts for skates and BMX
bikes and things like that, and they have organized and
for the last I'm not sure exactly how long. But
it's a million dollars skate park. Wow, that f to
have Purvol mayor Purvol kind of took on as a
project and they needed this three hundred thousand to finish

(01:21:33):
the project. And it's probably going to be done right
around the time where they need some ribbon cutting for
the campaign.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Of of course it will be. Now, the question is
do they have money for maintenance and upkeep of the
aforementioned skate park once it's built.

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
Well, I don't think that's currently in the budgets.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
They'll talk about that, no, okay, because they're supposed to
have money to fix the roads, and I know a
lot of people are having some problems with the fact
that the roads haven't been fixed and have been quite
neglected for years and years.

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
That's right, yep, huh.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Okay, ignore what you've built and build something else so
you can have a ribbon cutting ceremony. Now, I'll acknowledge
I would much rather have a kid ride around a
BMX bikes or skateboarding outdoors in the sunshine than sitting
in his basement watching our playing video games and drinking
mountain dew code red. I mean the health benefits cannot

(01:22:24):
be ignored. But see going back, Yes we want this,
that and the other thing. We have a list of
things we want from the city, including a skatepark. But
if the city can't afford or neglects everything it already
is responsible for, then I'm the kind of person that
would say, no, no, no, we need to deal with
what we've got already. And once we find ourselves in
a budgetary position where we can say we fixed that already,

(01:22:47):
We've taken care of the infrastructure, We've dealt with the
whole broken windows concept. Now let's entertain ideas about where
this is, where the next capital expenditure is going to be.
Who's got ideas? One hand's going to be raised saying
we need skateboard park, and there'll be a multitude of
other hands that get raised saying no, no, no, we
want this, and no, no, no, we want that. For example,
I know there were hands raised in terms of where

(01:23:08):
to spend this money because Vice Mayor jan Michelle lemon
Kearney wanted this money to go to the Clifton Cultural
Arts Center headquarters and Artworks Creative Campus Art Park. I've
never heard of those, and why would she want money
to go there as opposed to say the skate park

(01:23:29):
or buying the dump trucks to deal with the snow removal.
Do you know anything about these organizations, Tod zenzert Well Artworks.

Speaker 4 (01:23:38):
Artworks is one, pig Works is a second one. Oh,
and then I think the Cultural Center is a third one.
And they were basically all trying to tap into this
one point three million. Pigworks is the group that promotes
or operates the Fine Pig Marathon and all the associated events.

(01:24:00):
And the head of Pigworks actually is the I think
he is the editor of the Business Career. But they
came in looking for money to finish some brick and
mortar brick and mortar headquarters up in Walnut Hills, I believe, really,
And in his testimony he said that they generate like

(01:24:20):
twenty million dollars worth of economic activity as a result
of the marathon, and I don't think Artworks had quite
the same economic story. But these are groups that fall
into this leverage support category that we talked about last time,
and you actually had a caller yesterday who talked about it.

(01:24:43):
It's the same thing. He I think I met him
at the budget hearing that was held up in Price
Hill a couple of weeks ago, and these are This
is a prime example of how the Democrats have gotten
support in the community. They have numerous nonprofits NGOs, et

(01:25:03):
cetera that they distribute about twenty million dollars to and
they have this relationship where they feed off each other.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
So the city taxpayer dollars go to these outside organizations
for serving whatever purpose. And then presumably the outside organizations
then beyond what they are structured or built to do
and accomplish, like run the Flying Pig Marathon, also serve

(01:25:33):
as a political wining to help the council people and
the mayor and the vice mayor get re elected.

Speaker 4 (01:25:40):
Yes, there's actually there's actually a word for it, Brian.
It's called client teleism. Oh really, yes, you can look
it up. It's called client teleism. And I do have
a podcast on it and where I read a couple
of definitions, and that's exactly what's going on. The groups
and the politicians form this relationship where it's, you know,

(01:26:03):
they help each other out.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Well, yeah, that's it. Sort of sounds like what pg
sutent vote got in trouble for. I mean, can I
say that out loud? I mean, it sounds very analogous.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
Well exactly, and the protections that are necessary to make
sure that all these are arm's length, it's very very important.
I don't really think they exist. Here's here's on this
leverage support. The city manager has a like a process

(01:26:37):
for people to apply, and they go through and they
fill out an application, et cetera. They justify their request.
But then somehow, after the city manager makes her recommendation,
the mayor gets to provide extra money to whoever he
wants there, and then the city council gets to add
money to whatever they want. Next year, the city manager

(01:27:01):
came in with a recommendation for like four million for
a certain list, and by the time they were done,
it was raised one point five million dollars because of
what this mayor wanted and what the council wanted. The
mayor gave an extra two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to one group just with the stroke of a penanty.

(01:27:22):
I don't know how he does it. That's how it
looks anyway, and I did. I did talk about that
at the budget hearing. I had two things I thought
they should do at the budget hearing. One was be
more transparent about how that works. But the other one
was I think they should have something in the budget
about what the mandatory costs are, What are the requirements

(01:27:43):
by the federal government, the state government, the city charter,
what must we spend money on. Yeah, and break it
out into mandatory versus discretionary and all of these.

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
Like the federal government has mandatory and discretionary.

Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
Exactly, so that when we start giving money around, we
have to make sure that we provide sufficient funds for
those things that we must.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Do well in a certain respect. And I mean this
with the highest praise. You're kind of the powerless Elon
Musk in this situation because you're raising this whole like, well,
you know, we got a litany of multi billion dollar
programs that we're now finding out about that no one
knew about, that our taxpayer dollars are funding, and that

(01:28:25):
Elon Musk is bringing it to our attention. This is
the kind of thing that needs to be brought to
the City of Cincinnati taxpayer's attention because they may be
looking at their front door to road that hasn't been
touched in twenty years, it's got potholes in it, and
they're frustrated as hell, and then we find out that
somebody's got their hand in the cookie jar and have
to have purvalls decide how much money they're going to get. Yeah,
for political purposes.

Speaker 4 (01:28:45):
I actually looked into the internal audit function for the city,
and on their website, for example, they say that what
they do, they say a bi annual risk assessment, which
seems a little too frequent, But so I I put
in a record's request to see the risk assessments. Well,
they actually don't do risk assessments. So when you have

(01:29:07):
situations like a fleet of snow removal vehicles that can't
remove snow that should be picked up in a risk assessment. Yeah,
how they are operable exactly, but they don't do risk assessments.
Apparently they say they didn't have the resources to do it.

Seven nineteen I fift about KRCD talk station, eye opening
conversations so far right out of the gay with Todd
zender Do. You can find his podcast Citizen Watchdog and
learn about this kind of thing all the time. And
we all learned a new word this morning. At least
I did clientelesm and I mentioned PG sitting fell because
we had this project, and PG essentially was convicted of

(01:31:43):
the quid pro quill concept right where he said, uhh,
you line my political action committee with some money and
we'll get this project approved. That's right, That's pretty much it.
That's right now with these these outside organization, these non
governmental nonprofits that have their hand in the city tax
payer dollars cookie jar and are rewarded with apparently random

(01:32:03):
arbitrary decision making by on the part of the mayor
and others to get money. As you pointed out, that
their proposals are submitted to the city manager. The city
manager hands over her recommendations and then he arbitrarily can
raise them. As you mentioned last time, he raised it
what one and a half million dollars to an original
four million dollar ask, but no discussion or anything, right,

(01:32:26):
nothing in the budget about that, nothing in the budget.
Clientilism here's the definition, is a political system where goods
or services are exchanged for political support. Essentially, it's a
quid pro co relationship where politicians and voters, voter or
groups groups politicians or political elites provide benefits individuals like jobs, grants,

(01:32:47):
or public services in exchange for electoral support or loyalty.
That's the quid pro quo. It's not them handing money
in order to get a project done. It's the city
randomly and without oversight, handing money out to these groups
knowing that they will get those groups members and you know,
people work in the streets form spreading the information regular election.

Speaker 4 (01:33:09):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Is that not equally corrupt? Is it that not in
exchange of value for value even though it doesn't involve
them handing money to the politician, it just works the
other way around.

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
Well, I think it's it's in a gray area to
be sure, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
You're so yeah, you're so delicate, Todd Zenzer, No, I'm
calling it out. It should be a federal probe in that.
I mean, they looked into PG Sittenfeld, didn't they.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
Yeah, Well, Cincinnati is kind of the perfect size for
this type of environment because it's not that big and
the politicians are still close enough to these nonprofits and
local groups that this can flourish.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Okay, did they did they speak at this meeting yesterday?
These groups? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:33:54):
They did. They In fact Artworks had several witness and
the pig Works had several witnesses. I'm not sure about
the Cultural Center. There was definitely somebody there speaking on
his behalf, But so did the So did the local
ask me a rep come in and thank them for

(01:34:17):
the support for the equipment for the for the fleet.

Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
Yeah, I said that. That one quote kind of cracked
me up from the the union head which was which
was pretty funny because clearly one of the discussion points
was this is not going to solve our problems and
so far as dealing with snow removal in the future.
It was a Jeremy McClees, Yeah, the union Local Union
two forty representative quote. While it seems like it's a

(01:34:43):
minute drop in the bucket, meaning these two dump trucks,
at least it's something in that bucket, right, So it
didn't solve the problem. It's one baby step toward getting
a fleet that actually works and conserve the needs of
the city. So you can make an argument that at
least that expenditure capital was is going to provide something
for the residents, as opposed to these other organizations which

(01:35:07):
are merely going to provide political support for the elected
officials there.

Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
Yeah, well, these groups do provide services, but it's all
tied into the.

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
Yeah, but what of all the other groups that provide
services that also asked for money but this didn't necessarily
get it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:22):
Well that's a good point because last year there were
over ninety groups that made application for these funds and
there were thirty five in that group that got funded.
So about a third of the groups that apply got money.
The other thing that to remember about yesterday's meeting is
Seth Walsh basically said, well maybe we can borrow money,

(01:35:46):
yeah for the fleet. Yeah, so bond Yeah, it it
never ends, it never ends.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
This is just actually considered this quite disturbing. And you
mentioned about the oversight pursue in to what federal guidelines
dominate this or well, the audit.

Speaker 4 (01:36:07):
The auditors go in and they look at certain operations
in the city and they have to follow or they
say they follow the government audit standards generally accepted government
audit standards, and that basically talks to the level of
evidence you need to make a finding and kind of
how you have to go about planning your work and
the right steps for conducting an audit. Right, those types

(01:36:29):
of things so they say that they do their work
according to those standards, but part of those standards is
to get your operation reviewed by another audit group. They
don't do that. So they say they do their work
according to audit standards, but they never have anybody come
in and check and verify to tell people, yes, they

(01:36:50):
do their work by the standards.

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
And let me guess they don't do that step as
critical as it is, because they claim they don't have
the money to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:57):
That's what they told me.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Yes, well, they just found one point three million dollars yesterday.
I think that would got to fund that effort several years.

Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
Anyhow, I'm not I'm not going to argue with you,
that's for sure.

Seven thirty here fifty five r C The Talks Day,
A very Happy Tuesday to Todd's inzer former Spector General
Citizen watch Dog podcast. Let's I'm just appalled at what
we just got done talking about Todd and I don't
know if anything can be done about it, but it
just seems like it's a system built on corruption. Honestly,

(01:39:51):
it's a boiled down a thing that I can conclude.
Let's move over to connecting communities and what's going on
in Hyde Park and High Park's going to have none
of it. Their citizens are standing up to this redesigned
redevelopment proposal. The buildings are too big that their planning
is going to change the character of the neighborhood. They
don't have a sufficient parking factored in. Other small businesses
are worried because they need the parking spaces that are

(01:40:12):
up there, and if they're flooded with a whole bunch
of humanity without parking spaces, it's going to disrupt business.
So it's a I want to say it's nimby, but
their complaints sound justified. But the whole project in the
remaking of Hyde Park Square was built on this connected
communities idea right where they got rid of and changed
the zoning laws.

Speaker 4 (01:40:30):
Well, there's the the issue with connected communities is that
the city just rezoned connected communities would just pass last July. Yeah,
now this developers coming in is very influential developers coming
in and once a variance from that basically, oh is.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
That is that it? I thought the zoning, the change
in zoning was what brought about this concept.

Speaker 4 (01:40:55):
No, what the what the people in Hyde Park are
saying is hey, you just with the zoning rules. Why
don't we just keep to what the current zoning rule says.
And the developer wants to construct a boutique hotel and
wants it to be three stories higher than any other

(01:41:16):
building around, and they say they need to do that
to make the hotel profitable. But there was testimony from
one of the witnesses that spoke that their analysis was
that this hotel's not going to be profitable. So there's
some discrepancy there between the developer and one of the
citizens who came and spoke, but there's no effort to

(01:41:40):
reconcile those kind of things. The hearing was Friday, five
and a half hours and at the end of five
and a half hours, the members of the commission, those
that chose to show up. There were three members of
that planning commission that were absent, which is highly irregular.
But at the end of five and a half hours
of forty and fifty people talking or speaking, they had

(01:42:04):
a fifteen hundred page meeting packet, They had seven hundred
letters that came in opposing this. But at the end
of five and a half hours, I think they took
maybe ten or ten minutes each. The remaining commissioners took
about ten minutes to make a decision. So it's really
a joke of a process. And the absentee members. If

(01:42:32):
you understand who the developer is, they're very influential in
the city.

Speaker 2 (01:42:38):
High watched onto those words very influential the first time
you said it, Yeah, very influential.

Speaker 4 (01:42:44):
So why did these three planning commissioners fail to show up?
When was the last time three commissioners didn't show up
for the same meeting. Is because they knew they were
going to upset the citizens by voting for the project,
or they were going to upset the developer for voting
against it, and they just couldn't show up. I don't

(01:43:07):
really know, but I think that's highly irregular. I wrote
to the mayor and the City Council and I thought
that those commissioners should be replaced. They ought to get
rid of them, put some new people in that are
going to represent the citizens.

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
Huh, or put people in there that represented the very
influential developer.

Speaker 4 (01:43:29):
Well, I think that's the problem. I think that influential
developer already has some people on the commission that are very,
very helpful to them.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
So what is the status of the project.

Speaker 4 (01:43:40):
Well, the developer has purchased the property that they need
to purchase, but this issue is it passed three to
one in the Planning Commission to go forward on the project.
So now it goes to a committee of the City
Council and it needs to pass through that committee to
go to city Council. But the way the city council

(01:44:01):
operates is every member of the City Council are also
members of every committee. So once this issue goes to
the committee, and I'm not sure when it's scheduled, that'll
be it they'll get. It'll be either approved or not
approved at that meeting.

Speaker 2 (01:44:17):
Going back to your point that this is a very
influential developer. I think we can see the writing on
the wall, can't we.

Speaker 4 (01:44:24):
Yeah? And and what's what's really bothersome is we went
through this in connected communities. There's a community in bond
Hill that went through this. They put the public through
these sarades of community engagement and input. Uh. And it's
like Charlie Brown in the football. Every time the community

(01:44:46):
comes forward thinking they're going to be able to kick
the football, the city takes it away at the end.
And it's it's a pattern that just recurs through all
these all these Planning Commission issues.

Speaker 2 (01:44:58):
Well, I have to observe as we move into a
break here that if the citizen who made the comment
that the project will not be profitable the hotel, then
what't won't it be just a dose of healthy shot
in Florida for all of us to enjoy and watch
the thing just tank under its own weight.

Speaker 4 (01:45:17):
Well yeah, if it goes forward, I guess, but you
just don't want to get there. And the only thing
the developer said in response to that was, oh, well,
we have two insurance companies that said that it will
be profitable or that it's a good application or something
like that. But how after five and a half hours.
That's not the only discrepancy in the testimony. Can't How

(01:45:40):
can the Planning Commission just not decide to look further
into those discrepancies? Take a recess, go back, look through
the record, you've got the thing on tape, watch the
hearing again, and then come back and articulate your decision.

these handout to friends are going to work on campaigns ultimately,

(01:48:41):
and it's all city taxpayer money, and it's just really heartbreaking.
And the development of Hyde Park also seems, you know,
just built in corruption as well. Let's move over to
the Alternative Response crisis and we can continue the Shenanigans
declarations on all this. Give us a reminder about the
ARC program, which.

Speaker 4 (01:49:00):
Well ARC stands for Alternative Response to Crises and the
mayor and the city manager started this as a pilot
program back in twenty two, twenty two, and it is
essentially an effort to send non police to certain police

(01:49:22):
service calls nine to one one calls where somebody, I
guess it's the computer system, a combination of the computer
system at dispatch and dispatchers deciding whether they should have
a police officer respond or a non police officer respond.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
And these are calls in the nine one one yes,
all right, Well, that immediately to me suggests a need
for a police officer. But I know that there are
certain times people call nine one one in a non
emergency situation, but this is for psychological breakdown kind of things, or.

Speaker 4 (01:49:53):
Well that's how it was sold. Back many many years ago,
certain cities started what they call co rec deponder programs.

Speaker 2 (01:50:01):
CO as in a police officer plus.

Speaker 4 (01:50:03):
Correct that we're there to support the police when there
were mental health issues in a situation or in a call.
And after George Floyd, that co responder program kind of
shifted to a alternative to police objectively, a defund the police.

(01:50:26):
That was kind of a big part of the defund
the police is to have more calls answered by non
police officers.

Speaker 2 (01:50:33):
These are not trained officers, and these are people who
are not armed, correct.

Speaker 4 (01:50:37):
That's correct. And I'm not really sure what type of
training they go through or what their background is. Personally,
I don't have a problem with trying to support the
police when they have situations where there's a mental health crisis.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
Right, But that would require a trained mental health professional, right.

Speaker 4 (01:50:55):
But they should be associated or aligned with the police,
not with the city office.

Speaker 2 (01:51:01):
And this group is aligned with the city manager's office.

Speaker 4 (01:51:03):
Yeah, they actually work for the Emergency Communications Center, which
the city manager last year, I believe, moved that emergency
communications center into her immediate office. So, yeah, the ARC
program reports to the city manager or the head of
the emergency contact center.

Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
And they are funded.

Speaker 4 (01:51:27):
Oh yes, they're a big part of the city manager's budget.
And see, here's the thing, there's no way in the
world if I were running that police department. I've got
background in law enforcement, not police necessarily, There's no way
I would let another operation working in my same environment.

(01:51:48):
You're setting up conflict, turf force, all the rest of that.
There's no way I would allow that to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Well, and if the situation deteriorates, you got one of
these ARC folks showing up and the situation goes from
non violent into a violent situation, which I'm sure any
police officer will tell you can happen from time to time.
They're not in a position to help to deal with
that crisis.

Speaker 14 (01:52:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:52:10):
Well, for example, when you look at the when you
look at the data, the the ARC program only responded
to like a miniscule fraction.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
I saw your editorial on that was point zero zero
six percent of the total calls that came in.

Speaker 4 (01:52:26):
Right, But contrast that thirty eight percent of the calls
were for trespassing, which last time I checked was a crime. Yeah,
but apparently it is more towards homeless people trespassing on.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
So it's it's it's basically, don't arrest people for breaking
the law kind of program. We don't want to give
these people a record, We don't we need less policing.
We just need to show what emotion or something along
those lines.

Speaker 4 (01:52:58):
I think that's that. I think you're put your finger
on it right.

Speaker 2 (01:53:01):
All right, And with two hundred police officers needed to
make the full compliment of the city police department, let
me guess they have aspirations to take that money that
would otherwise go to fund the police department to get
more of these ARC folks out into the world rather
than police officers.

Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
Well, that's what I think. That the ARC program, the
people that work for the ARC program are much less
expensive than a police officer, that's for sure. But just
just knowing how I operated with my budget, if I
had vacancies, I was concerned that I would lose some
money down the road. If I say, you're not using

(01:53:37):
your money for what you're supposed to be using it for,
so we're going to use it for something else, and
I don't want the police department to get into that
situation now.

Speaker 2 (01:53:45):
But the problem with the police department isn't for you
know that they've got these spaces that they intentionally are
not filling. It's they need a compliment of trained police officers,
people from the world who want to choose this as
a career after having been demonized for so long. A
lot of people who otherwise to become law enforcement officers
aren't going to the academy or signing up for the job.

Speaker 4 (01:54:05):
Right. I'm very concerned that Cincinnati may have a reputation
is not a good place to be a law enforcement officer.

Speaker 3 (01:54:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
I know that to be a fact because I have
lots of friends in the Since a police department now
is low, that's.

Speaker 4 (01:54:17):
Got to be fixed. I mean, if Corey Bowman gets
in there, that's one of the first things he needs
to fix, is what's going on with law enforcement in
the city.

Speaker 2 (01:54:24):
I'm glad you brought up Corey Bowman. Maybe we can
have a word or two with that. Final words from
Todd Sen's are coming up after I mentioned affordable imaging.
Imaging is not affordable at the hospital. Bottom line is
it's really expensive. I personally think four thousand, five thousand,
thirty five hundred dollars for an echo cardiogram, mri CT
scan ultrasound is expensive because I know it is when
you compare to affordable imaging services, where those are all

(01:54:47):
less than a thousand. I think the most expensive image
you can get affordable imaging services is it's an echo
cartogram with enhancement, which is still eight hundred dollars compared
to like four grand at a hospital. Yeah, and they
can get you right into. Hospitals are known for lag time, like, oh,
we'll get you in three weeks. Well, you don't have
to wait talking about your heart here with the necho cardiogram,

(01:55:07):
get right in and pay a lot less. Every image
at affordable imaging Services comes with the board certified radiologist
report that you and your physician will get within forty
eight hours. It's very low overhead, no bells and whistles
and fountains and all that kind of stuff, but you
get the same medical equipment and highly trained professionals operating it.
You got nothing to lose but money by going to

(01:55:29):
the hospital. Don't do that. Go to affordable imaging services.
More than forty years experience. You have a choice when
it comes to your medical care. Exercise it five one

Let's talk about the election coming up in November. We
obviously have a one Republican candidate option, at least one
that seems actually to be a Republican, and you mentioned
him in the last segment, Corey Bowman. I mean just

(01:57:00):
even the topics you talked about this morning, in this hour,
I mean, I wish Corey all the luck in the world.
I just think I don't think he knows what he's
getting into.

Speaker 4 (01:57:09):
Yeah, well, on the surface, the incumbent administration tries to
make it look like everything's going great. But if you
start looking below the surface, yeah, there are a lot
a lot of issues.

Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
But a lot of issues that deserve a different set
of eyes.

Speaker 4 (01:57:23):
Yeah, exactly, So a.

Speaker 2 (01:57:25):
Worthy endeavor to go with, Corey Bowman. And I asked
you about the charter rights off air. They seem to
have lost a profile at all in the city. They
used to have a really good showing and they always
had Charter Right members or council. They're a good governance
kind of run party.

Speaker 4 (01:57:40):
That's right there. Values are good government. There are members
of the Charter Committee from both sides of the aisle, yeah, across.

Speaker 2 (01:57:51):
You describe them off air as an eclectic group. Yes,
I like that. So Europe on the board.

Speaker 4 (01:57:56):
Yeah, I was recently asked to be on the board.

Speaker 2 (01:57:59):
So are we going to see some Charter Right candidates
coming out this fall?

Speaker 4 (01:58:02):
Well, I think they're talking about that, so we'll see
what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
Well, but maybe they'll have to form a coalition government
because with Corey Bowman actually at least maybe kind of
having to be a possibility at this given the kind
of things you're talking about the failure of this administration
and the last several administrations to deal with the problems
that all Cincinnatians face, like crumbling infrastructure, and they're woke
ideology and throwing money at every kind of pet projects

(01:58:27):
that that comes their way. Heck, you might get some
Republicans elected. Liz Keating was the most recent Republican elected,
So it can be done. Maybe you get some Charter rights.
Some Republicans, and of course they'll be Democrats as well.
You'll have to form a coalition government.

Speaker 4 (01:58:43):
Yes, I think that would be helpful.

Speaker 2 (01:58:47):
It certainly would because it would at least involve the
exchange of different ideas. And usually when you have an
open discussion and an exchange of ideas from different sides
of the ledger, quite often the best plan forward emerges
and is followed.

Speaker 4 (01:59:02):
Yeah, you can see that. Up until recently, the city
council was very homogeneous and there was no dissenting votes
or anything. But lately I've seen several cases where there
is some cracks in the coalition up there on a
city council.

Speaker 2 (01:59:19):
Well, like yesterday, for example, in the vote on what
to do with this one point three million dollars exactly.

Speaker 12 (01:59:24):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:59:24):
Well, it did provide a wonderful springboard for you to
bring to our attention what seems to be a quid
pro quot thing going out there in the world with
money coming from the city and going out to these
non government organization.

Speaker 4 (01:59:35):
I think that's a big area of concern.

Speaker 2 (01:59:38):
Well, and it's worthy to look into further. I would
just suggest I cannot thank you Todd zenser on behalf
of everybody that lives in the city of Cincinnati, for
being a watchdog and for looking into this and for
providing just a wonderful explanation for the problems that they're
facing and the potential for corruption which clearly exists based
upon the way you've described it. It's just a wonderful

(02:00:00):
service you're providing. And I know you don't get paid
for it.

Speaker 4 (02:00:03):
Well, it's funny, Brian. You know I'm on a federal pension,
so in my mind it's your tax dollars at work.

Speaker 2 (02:00:09):
Well, God bless you for doing it, Todd Zinzer. I
love having you on the program and I look forward
to doing it again. In the meantime. Tune into Citizen Watchdog.
It's Todd's podcast. How often you do it?

Speaker 9 (02:00:18):
Did we?

Speaker 12 (02:00:19):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:00:19):
I tried to. Well, I've only started last month and
I've got eight episodes.

Speaker 2 (02:00:24):
Great, well, we'll look forward to another one. Check it
out where you get your podcast, Citizen Watchdog. Todd's been wonderful.

in Ukraine and Russia in the meantime. Welcome to the
fifty five cars Morning Show. Bright Bar b r E
I T B A rt dot com bookmarket. You'd be
glad you did. Today. We had Bright Bert reporter Randy
Clark to talk about the unfolding situation on the border
where things seem to be getting better and better, at

(02:01:22):
least for those who care about it. Welcome to the
program sir, It's great to have you on today.

Speaker 12 (02:01:27):
Great to be here with you. Brent.

Speaker 2 (02:01:29):
Did you see Rashida t The Lee was the old
hold out about the Cartel Border tunnel system vote yesterday
from the House of Representatives. The bill was aimed at
cracking down on Mexican cartels. It passed four oh two
to one. They used tunnels to a tunnel underneath our
southwestern border, and the bill requires some management and monitoring
of that, and she was the lone no vote, no
explanation as to why. But it was a nice thing

(02:01:53):
to see some bipartisan ship.

Speaker 12 (02:01:54):
Anyway, you know it is.

Speaker 15 (02:01:58):
But for some people, you're just never gonna win them over,
and she's one of them. And there's you know, there's
a handful of others that will practically vote no on
anything that's helpful as well.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
Well, and vote no on anything Trump supports, and they
still just Trump's been living for rent free inside their
collective heads now for years and years, and if he
says he wants to do something, they're an immediate no,
regardless of how sensible it is. But he did demonstrate
on day one that it only took some executive actions
to actually bring about some border security. It's a remarkable,

(02:02:28):
remarkable shift from the Biden administration's open borders policy. And
everyone recalls the Democrats kept screaming about, oh, Donald Trump
killed a bill that would have fixed the border. We
need to pass this border bill in order to stop
the problem. Well, no, you just need a change of administration.
As I read on Brightbart with your reporting, the Southwest
border hit the lowest ever mark, down ninety four percent

(02:02:51):
from last February.

Speaker 12 (02:02:54):
It's amazing.

Speaker 15 (02:02:55):
You know, I live about a mile from Mexico in
Eagle Pass, Texas, one of the busiest border crossing spots
during the entire Biden administration era, and it is calm,
peaceful and quiet. And people don't realize when we say, hey,
the borders under control what that means to those of
us that live near and on it. And that means

(02:03:15):
there's no debts, there's no children getting pulled out of
the water that are drowning. That means that there's no
pursuits on the highway that are causing accidents that are
killing American citizens. That just means night and day difference
for us that have to live it every day. So
it's a big deal for America, but it is a
super big deal for those of us that live close
to that border well.

Speaker 2 (02:03:36):
And one of the things that was revealed with the
open border situation is the smuggling of unaccompanied miners and
the obvious trafficking in human beings. That was happening as
a result of that, and you think of these poor
kids and clearly what you might you can only imagine
what they had to go through. That that has stopped,
or at least has been curbed substantially.

Speaker 15 (02:03:58):
Oh, absolutely, we're seeing zero app henchion days in some
parts of the US Mexico border. But those unaccompanied children
you mentioned, there were nearly half a million in the
four years of Biden was in office. Nearly half a
million children were voluntarily abandoned by their families at the
border to be used for a number of purposes. And
you said, we can only imagine. You're absolutely right, because

(02:04:21):
that's as much as we know right now. We can
only imagine what happened to the bulk of those children.

Speaker 2 (02:04:25):
Well, and they seem to have been lost to the
ether here in America. I mean, they were reportedly, you
assigned to home to addresses that had no dwelling. They
were handed over to people that had no familial connection
with them. I mean, it's just a horrific situation. You
just wonder if, well if they're ever going to be found.
I guess this is something that comes to mind.

Speaker 15 (02:04:47):
Well, and what people need to remember is the federal
government doesn't have any trained people on board that serve
as child protective services. Those folks that handed over children
to sponsors in the United States, most of them were contractors,
and all they could do was a very cursory vetting
of the thousands in custody a day. Up to eighteen

(02:05:08):
thousand of those children were being held in federal government facilities,
and it was a rush to get rid of them,
and we were paying over seven hundred dollars a day
to detain each and every one of those young children.
So it was just a travesty.

Speaker 2 (02:05:24):
Well in other areas that are bringing about savings. I
note again Breitbart reporting Randy Clark, the detention centers are
now being shut down because they're now empty.

Speaker 12 (02:05:37):
That's correct. You know, there's just no need for them.

Speaker 15 (02:05:40):
And they were running ten to twelve million dollars a
year in some parts of the country. Tucson had them.

Speaker 7 (02:05:44):
Where they are.

Speaker 15 (02:05:45):
Keeping them open, they're using them to facilitate the flights,
the deportation flights, so they're not going to keep them
open just to keep them open. And now we're opening
hardened facilities that are used to detain folks waiting for
remove as well, two facilities in Texas that are set
up for families are starting to get the moth balls

(02:06:06):
removed and they're going to be opening soon, and that's
going to facilitate that those massive deportation operations that allegedly
are on the horizon.

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
Well, we can only hope because the current focus for
the immigrations and customs enforcement are criminals, not just illegal
aliens and not criminal virtue of them being in the
country illegally or unauthorized, people who actually committed crimes and
some of them going back to children pretty damn horrific. Randy.

Speaker 12 (02:06:34):
Yeah, so that's the good news.

Speaker 15 (02:06:36):
I mean, we know that, you know, as the operations
are ramping up.

Speaker 12 (02:06:39):
That's the focus.

Speaker 15 (02:06:41):
Over almost six hundred and fifty just in the in
the last month in the Houston area alone, and most
of those eighty percent were what you would consider is
criminal aliens.

Speaker 12 (02:06:51):
So that's a big deal.

Speaker 15 (02:06:52):
We know, we know now we're prosecuting folks for some
of the most heinous crimes.

Speaker 12 (02:06:56):
Also, that's that's a good place to be.

Speaker 15 (02:07:00):
But I think the administration knows we had unvetted people
coming into the tune of tens of thousands, sometimes a
week or more, and that's going to be the pace
that we have to put into reverse to ever undo
the damage that was done over the last four years.

Speaker 2 (02:07:17):
Well, one of the mechanisms that the Trump administration just
did to reverse that process is this turning the CBP
one app into a self deportation tool. I thought that
was rather brilliant what they did.

Speaker 15 (02:07:31):
It was and whether illegal aliens take advantage of that
feature or not is really not the important thing. What
the important thing is is consistent messaging across the board.
And so we got consistent messaging under the Biden administration
from the very get go that hey, come and searche
the border, and then we dismantled every mechanism to remove

(02:07:55):
somebody from the United States that Trump had put into place,
and then we just basely abandoned ship on the border
and let everybody come in and we release them, so
that messaging was consistent. Now we have the message, a
consistent message coming out going, hey, we're going to relaunch
this app, which has other features that were really what

(02:08:15):
it was originally for to facilitate legal trade and travel.

Speaker 12 (02:08:19):
Now it's also telling.

Speaker 15 (02:08:21):
Everybody, look, that app is there again, if you'd like
to self deport yourself by all means, go ahead, but
we're not going to facilitate you coming in. And that's
important to have that message because folks are turning around
mid journey, not even trying to reach the southern border.
Now they've decided in Mexico, Central America, as far away

(02:08:41):
as Panama, we need to turn around. That's what messaging
does well.

Speaker 2 (02:08:47):
I think some may consider you exercising the option to
self deport, whether through the app or not. But because
we will fly them back to their country of origin,
they don't have to take a multi thousand mile journey
on foot. We'll give them a ride. Right.

Speaker 15 (02:09:03):
Well, we've seen we have seen that already. We've seen
some folks that are packing up and leaving. Like I say,
we've seen it mid journey. But we've seen folks lead
from the United States on their own back to Mexico
decide I don't like this here, I don't like this climate,
and wondering if I'm going to get caught on my
way to work or at the worksite. We know that
this administration is putting a lot of pressure on ICE

(02:09:27):
to do work side enforcement, which is pretty much just
was abandoned over the last four years, and that's very important.
But one other important thing to remember is that, yes,
the president is right that all we needed was a
new president to start to control the border. But we
do need some legislation to keep it this way, because
in another four years or eight years, we could have

(02:09:48):
another president come in and open these borders again, and
we'll be right back to where we were. So I
think we certainly need to set some limits on parole.
We need to start work side enforcement, as you know,
as a regular thing. We need to get everified pushed
federally to all fifty states. Make that mandatory. Make it
cover contractors.

Speaker 12 (02:10:09):
If you cannot get.

Speaker 15 (02:10:10):
A job and you can't get benefits here.

Speaker 2 (02:10:12):
You will not come well and clean up the social
security ranks with active social Security numbers out there probably
being used by folks who are not authorized to work
in this country, because conveniently, there are a whole bunch
of Social Security numbers on the system that are still open,
and our people would be one hundred and fifty two
hundred years old if they were still alive, and they're not.
There's no way they can be. So that's one other

(02:10:34):
small area that seems to be a rather low hanging fruit,
easy thing to fix.

Speaker 15 (02:10:40):
Absolutely, it sounds like there's you know, some more getting
done at least in that direction that we haven't done
before in history.

Speaker 2 (02:10:48):
Well, any other component of this. It's not just the
United States and the environment and our cities being overrun
and all the resources that have had to be dedicated
to dealing with the illegal immigrant crowd, the school the housing,
the food, the medical issues, but the fact that the
Mexican drug cartels were human trafficking cartels also making billions

(02:11:10):
of dollars off of this, so they get their funds
dried up because of the lack of demand given the
new border policies, but also the ability to smuggle drugs
into the country is challenged by this.

Speaker 15 (02:11:22):
Yes, and you know, for too many years, look at
the terror they've caused inside of Mexico. You know, we
get lectured from Mexico about their sovereignty and this and that,
and in almost every state they've got some of the
cities with the highest murder rates in the world. You know,
if you look at the top ten cities in the world,
the bulk of them are in Mexico. And these folks

(02:11:44):
they're bringing that death over here and now it seems
like we are getting to a point that we have
had enough. This president has had enough, and that's good
because what they are peddling here is is substances that
kill and substances that are addictive.

Speaker 12 (02:11:58):
So it's disruptive jobs.

Speaker 15 (02:12:00):
Over there, and we've imported the world's poor here and
these cartels are just they're making a killing.

Speaker 2 (02:12:08):
Well figuratively and literally.

Speaker 12 (02:12:11):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:12:12):
And the other thing I think the service that helps
Donald Trump win the election, this immigration crisis that was
created by the Biden administration. We had the infiltration of
these various gangs and in large amounts, and these are
the worst of the worst human beings alive. They are violent,
evil and they also engage in criminal activity and drug
activity here in our country.

Speaker 15 (02:12:34):
You know, they've certainly taken the limelight of any domestic gangs.
You rarely hear anything about, you know, domestic gang activity
in the United States because these people are pros that
leaving their home countries, they're extremely like you say, they're
extremely violent, and they come in and they take over
the vice markets in large cities.

Speaker 12 (02:12:54):
That's what they do. They've done it in Columbia, they've
done it in Peru. The Venezuelan and friend at Iowa gang.
That's what they do.

Speaker 15 (02:13:00):
You know, they fled Venezuela, but they didn't stop their
criminal activity. They are here and they're moving from city
to city as Ice goes to different places where you're
seeing some actions in Houston, Texas, or you see someone
in Colorado. Those folks are pros at just leaving. They're
in Colorado one day, they'll be.

Speaker 12 (02:13:18):
Back in Manhattan and another.

Speaker 15 (02:13:20):
So they can be in your neck of the woods
at the drop of a hat if they need to.

Speaker 2 (02:13:25):
Have you noticed that in your area? I know you
mentioned you live right there close to the border, but
I guess the deportration raids in Texas led to two
hundred federal criminal cases. I can only imagine some of
the gang members are among these. Did you notice or
were you aware of gang activity during this what i'll
call crisis under the Biden administration.

Speaker 12 (02:13:46):
Well, so that's what you know.

Speaker 15 (02:13:47):
People don't realize is that where the transit point, nothing
stays sedentary or stationary on the border. Everything is going
to a city near you. They don't want to live
in Eagle Pass, Texas. They don't want to live in Laredo, Texas.
They want to live in Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston,
New York. So everything leaves right, So we see the

(02:14:09):
immediate carnage, we see the loss of life, and we
see the smuggling as it occurs. But it's all in
a push to get up north and to get to
large cities, mostly sanctuary cities, and so we live with
it every day. But it's a different episode every day.
And it's it's you know, people dying in the river.
It's large, massive groups. It's folks in neighborhoods with the

(02:14:30):
dogs marking all night and not get in any sleep.
But it's everything leaving. It doesn't stay. The gang members
will never stay.

Speaker 12 (02:14:37):
Any goal pass. It's all going to you.

Speaker 2 (02:14:40):
Oh fun facts. Although again at least Trump's put a
stock trying to put a stop to it. They are
they rebuilding the wall now that Trump is the Trump
administration is in. I know they had the wall bought
in laying around in pieces and the Biden administration started
selling off chunks to it to scrap dealers for a
fraction of what it cost us. But are they back
to building.

Speaker 15 (02:15:01):
Yes, they are back to building. And you just you
mentioned something else that, Yes, this is changing. The changes
are dynamic, they are visible. And that's the one thing
that I think we need to focus on is that, yes,
this border has slowed to almost a crawl to nothing
any kind of action, and the tension that you're seen
is related to the removal process on the fencing question.

Speaker 12 (02:15:23):
In the wall.

Speaker 15 (02:15:24):
Yes, where there are materials, like especially in the Texas
Real Grand Valley, other places where there are some gaps
in Arizona, they are starting to fill those gaps. There
are still projects like in Eagle Pass, Texas, where we
were building the wall that hasn't started yet, but my
assumption is going to be that's going to be coming soon.
They've just got to restart those material orders and get

(02:15:44):
the funding going again and the contractors there, so as
soon as they finish a project, they'll move those contractors
and they'll start somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (02:15:50):
So, yes, the wall is back on right Bart Reporter
Randy Clark talking about the border situation, and since you
lived there before we part company and it's been a
great conversation. You so like you have a renewed sumptive,
a sense of optimism for your neighborhood, your community there
on the border. Is that like a widely held perception
that people are sort of exhaling and going, finally, we're

(02:16:10):
going to get a sense of calm around here.

Speaker 12 (02:16:14):
Absolutely.

Speaker 15 (02:16:14):
You know, it's not just for my community, but it's
every community from Brownsville, Texas, all the way to San Diego,
California where they were dealing with these problems. But I
think that's why we have a new president, because that's
how badly we wanted this to end. Amongst all de
demographics of voters on the Southwest border, we saw a

(02:16:34):
lot of inroads by the Republican Party in South Texas
counties that had never voted Republican, you know, in one
hundred years, turned and went to the Republican Party. So yeah,
there's a lot of optimism down here. And yeah, I'm pump.

Speaker 2 (02:16:48):
Well, I'll tell you what, Randy, It's been a wonderful
conversation with you. I appreciate you spending time with my
listeners and me, and thank you for all the work
you do over at Breitbart. I just truly appreciate your website.
Give up the great work, and I look forward to
having back on again real soon.

Speaker 12 (02:17:02):

you too.

Speaker 2 (02:18:08):
It is a twenty nine on a Tuesday, which means
for certain we get to get the Daniel Davis Deep
dive with the retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. Of course
we'll be talking about Russia and Ukraine. Daniel Davis, Welcome
back to the fifty five KRCY Morning Show, my friends.
Always a pleasure for having you on. I look forward
to this day every week. I'm glad you do because
I do as well. And okay, let's start with this

(02:18:30):
because we're gonna get in, you know, figure out what's
going on with Ukraine and Rush and Russia. And I
know the Secretary of State Mark Rubio and other US
officials are planning on having a meeting in Jetta, Saudi
Arabia to try to get a resolution to this conflict,
and I hope they do. Ukraine launched its biggest drone
attack against Moscow and other areas as well. But what

(02:18:51):
I mean is this something strategic associated with because it
seems to be an exercise in futility. Is it just
to be pesky and try to annoy the Russians because
apparently the Russians were successful and shooting down almost all
the drones.

Speaker 16 (02:19:05):
Yes, that's exactly what it is. That it is trying to
be pesky. Is trying to be annoying. Uh, it's saying, hey,
we have this capability, you might as well use it.

Speaker 2 (02:19:12):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (02:19:12):
Everybody sees that the end game is in progress right now,
and these these talks in Saudi Arabia are probably going
to start to look at the nature of how the
war is going to come to an end. And and
there the Ukraine side is not gonna like it just
because they don't have any of the leverage. They don't
have any of the power cards to play. They literally
don't have any. So they think, now, how about this,

(02:19:33):
we we make a for public relations kind of operation
to launch these things and get this big splashy thing.
And I've already seen all these headlines massive drone attack
into Moscow, across Russia in the course Carrea, et cetera,
all this stuff, so it looks good, splashy. Then when
you look at some of the pictures that the vast
majority got shot down, a few got through, one hit

(02:19:54):
them all, another one hit an apartment building, U one
some some cars in a parking lot that that got
fired because of the gas, made some great video images,
had nothing, no military significance whatsoever. All it's gonna do
is just frankly, make the Russians even matter. And all
this is in the context of the Course region, a

(02:20:15):
lightning advance that Russia hasn't done since the Ukraine side
went in there last August. And now in just a
matter of days, they're just taking massive swaths every day.
This thing could be already over in the Course area
in two or three more days from now.

Speaker 2 (02:20:29):
Well, I guess, and so far I mean symbolic, we're
striking Moscow. You know, it's like flying a b B
two or whatever bomber over and dropping some bombs on
Tokyo for the purpose of boosting American morale in World
War Two. You point out the obvious, it doesn't have
any military advantage. They're not getting ready to invade Moscow.
But it seems to me from a strategic standpoint. And
I'm no general, you know, don't play one on radio,

(02:20:52):
but the massive amount of drones that they used to
engage in these attacks, wouldn't it have been better serve
hitting the front line Russian troops that are advancing into
the into the Curse region or whatever region. That's exactly
what I was saying.

Speaker 16 (02:21:07):
It just shows that they aren't even attempting to do
something that makes any military sense because you're doing these
things into Russia. The targets weren't even military, so even
the ones that got through, we're just trying to hit
civilian targets something that they could to get the pr splash.
So yes, and when you're looking at the video images
actually coming out of the Kursk area here, apparently even

(02:21:30):
the Ukrainian air defenses in the area are almost non
existent because Russians are flying K fifty two helicopters fighter
jets strafing targets, which means there is no air defense whatsoever,
not even tactical. So if you were going to fire
something somewhere, it would seem to make more sense, as
you said, and maybe you should start playing a radio general.
I don't know, but that's what I would have done,

(02:21:52):
just to take those where you could have had some
tactical advantage for your side, and instead they did this well.

Speaker 2 (02:21:58):
And I can't remember the region, but I I had
read just the other day that the Ukrainian forces were
getting surrounded and leaving them with little option to retreat,
which seemed like an inevitable thing that we're going to
have to do. Was that the area of Russia that
they had taken over that we're talking about.

Speaker 16 (02:22:13):
It is, Yeah, that's exactly what was happening in the
Curse Carrea.

Speaker 9 (02:22:17):
They had an option.

Speaker 16 (02:22:18):
I was just almost pleading into the ether on my
shows in recent days, just saying that that's what they
should do. The Ukraine side, there was no prospect for
holding them. They needed to withdraw and get back while
they could, because Russia was having a pincer movement to
cut off the one supplier, the one exit route actually
supply and exit.

Speaker 2 (02:22:36):
They didn't. They continued to stay there.

Speaker 16 (02:22:38):
Now many of them are pouring out now, even without orders,
but in a continuing process that Ukraine has shown almost
from the very beginning back into Mariopal in twenty twenty two,
in the spring of twenty twenty two, every time they
get into one of these situations a cauldron, they never
do the military smart thing of withdrawal their forces to

(02:22:58):
a more advantageous position. They keep them there, fighting to
the last man, the last house, forcing Russia to come
and clean them up. And Russia has the men power
to do it, so they lose so many men every
time that they don't need to.

Speaker 2 (02:23:12):
And this is just the next one in line. And
that's a shame because it's been widely reported and I
haven't read really anything to the contrary. The Ukrainians are
running out of people to fight this war. So if
you've got people sitting in an occupied region of Russia
which has no strategic advantage other than say, hey, we've
taken over a chunk of Russia and we're going to

(02:23:32):
keep it, maybe as a bargaining ship in the negotiation,
which we all know isn't going to be worth a
whole lot. But to leave them there, get them surrounded,
and get them slaughtered when they could have been brought back,
as you point out, to areas where they were needed,
since they're running out of men, that seems the only
logical and reasonable thing to do.

Speaker 16 (02:23:47):
It is the only logical and rational and militarily smart
thing to do. That's what they should have done. The
whole curse thing was an operation of futility from the beginning.
It never had any chance to accomplish anything of operational
value for the Ukraine side. It had the pr value of, hey,
we're finally sticking it to Russia taking it to their territory.

(02:24:08):
That briefs well made people feel good at Ukraine for
a while, but it had no actual importance to the war.

Speaker 2 (02:24:15):
Effort at all.

Speaker 16 (02:24:16):
And in fact, then over the months Ukraine kept sayding
tens of thousands of people and to reinforce it and
all the logistics and everything for something that didn't have
any outcome of the war, and it was never I'll
just point this out, never any chance that Russia would
have traded that away as opposed to taking it by force.

Speaker 2 (02:24:34):
Because that would have made them look weak and they weren't.

Speaker 16 (02:24:36):
So they were killing a whole bunch of Ukraine people
here that were not available on the Eastern Front where
the real fight was going on, the one that actually matters.
So I'm just sorry but this may hurt some people's feelings,
but the general ship on the Ukraine side has been
hideous and it's gotten so many of their men killed.
That's why they have lost the war, and there is

(02:24:57):
no prospect for them.

Speaker 2 (02:24:58):
To get a good deal Jetta. Well, perfect segue to
where I was going the deal in Jetta. What do
you anticipate? I mean, Russia's got the upper hand now
and it's a stronger hand than they had, say, six
months ago. Are they going to hold out for even more?
You always start with your best foot forward. You ask
more than you're going to get, because that way you

(02:25:19):
can negotiate backward and not feel like you're really losing anything.
Make an outrageous demand. Do you expect Russia to make
an outrageous demand to resolve this or to bring about
peace and negotiate something back? And if so, what do
you think they're going to end up with? If you
had to read the tea leaves, Daniel Davis, Well, I
would look at it from the other side at first.
In terms of outrageous demands, I think that the Ukraine

(02:25:39):
side will ask, and they already have asked for a
partial ceasefire. They say they want to cease fire in
the sky and in the seat, so no more drones,
no more fighting in the black seat, etc. While they
work something out that is I mean almost you think
that it may be a joke that they would ever
actually ask for that when it would be only benefit

(02:26:00):
to them. Russia would have no advantage whatsoever.

Speaker 16 (02:26:03):
And as I just pointed out, they were flying K
fifty two's and fighter jets strafing into the area because
there's no air defense on the Ukraine side at the
tactical level. Why would Russia ever agree to something that
can only benefit the other side. What I think is
happening here, despite what some of the headlines are, I
think that the Secretary of Rubio, Mike Walls and Witkoff,

(02:26:25):
I think you were representing the United States. I think
that they're telling the Ukraine side, boys, the game is over.
You can either capitulate according to the best terms.

Speaker 2 (02:26:34):
We can get, or you're on your own.

Speaker 16 (02:26:36):
If they don't agree to what the United States is
willing to do, which is to just bring the war
to an end at the best terms they can get,
which will be ugly, then I think that we're gonna
say then we're gonna walk. Trump has indicated that already,
He's implied it a couple of times. And if Ukraine
still tries to hold out for this great deal that
they'll never get, then Russia will simply keep fighting this

(02:26:56):
issue in the north With the course, Russia's not just
going to re establish the border. They're gonna keep going
because there aren't very many defenses on the Ukraine side.
This could open up a new front. We'll see how
it goes well.

Speaker 2 (02:27:09):
And I read the Trump administration the other day started
denying Ukraine military intelligence. And if that's true, is that
to egg Ukraine on and just to realizing, hey, it's
not your Night nine invaluable intelligence or is there something
behind that, like maybe as a lever to get this
minerals deal signed.

Speaker 16 (02:27:28):
Yeah, I mean it could be all the above. But
we had General Kellogg point blank say that this is
like and I'm not making this up, he said, this
is like hitting a mule with a tube of four
to get their attention. All the pausing of this stuff,
which is to tell them. I think Fellas, we see
the ground as it is. We're not the previous administration,
we're not Europe, We're definitely not.

Speaker 9 (02:27:48):
The Ukraine side.

Speaker 16 (02:27:49):
We see it as it is, and you can't win,
you can't even hold out. You either make an agreement
to bring this war to an end or we're not
gonna continue supporting it. And I think that he's Trump
has not given in on that so far, despite lots
of pressure, because I think he means it well.

Speaker 2 (02:28:06):
And I think what you just said there addresses the
folks who are yelling at Trump about selling Ukraine out
and being with this puppet of Vladimir Putin's rather than
that he's just a realist. I mean, is that really
not what this boils down to?

Speaker 16 (02:28:21):
And Brian, let me just point out something because this
just makes me crazy because I keep hearing that kind
of stuff. Trump is selling us out, He's given up.
You had three full years to have everything the US
could give, everything, Europe could give, everything, Ukraine could do,
and they lost. For thirty straight months. Ukraine has been
losing and going backwards. And you want to say now

(02:28:43):
that Trump should come in and repeat that and do
more of what has failed.

Speaker 2 (02:28:48):
It's irrational.

Speaker 16 (02:28:49):
They're going to lose now because of what we did
in the previous thirty months before Trump came in.

Speaker 2 (02:28:55):
That is a fact telling it like it is. Daniel

Speaker 4 (02:30:43):
Morning, Brian.

Speaker 2 (02:30:44):
There's a month for everything, and this March is Multiple
myloma Awareness months start by talking about what is multiple
myloma and what are the risk factors for it.

Speaker 14 (02:30:53):
So, multi myloma is a hematological aligancy. Basically, plasma cells
and make antibodies you know, vaccines, infection, so forth. Those
plasma cells can go wild and cause a cancer. The
symptoms of it. These plasma cells can get in and
dissolve the bone. They don't cause pain, but it can

(02:31:14):
cause fractures that can cause the calcium to go high.
It can be detected with a routine visit to a doctor.
You don't have to be looking specifically for myeloma. Seeing
the calcium and the protein and subtle hints can help out.

Speaker 2 (02:31:28):
Wow. Catching it early, now, obviously this is a cancer.
Can it spread metastasize that kind of thing.

Speaker 14 (02:31:35):
This typically can affect the bone marrow, so your blood
counts can be low, but it can go to the bones,
cause broken bones. It can cause kidney failure. So catching
it early is really important. It's very very treatable if
it's caught early.

Speaker 2 (02:31:49):
Well, that's good to hear. So what should people be
looking for the signs and symptoms to make sure that
they can get out of this?

Speaker 14 (02:31:56):
Really fatigue, there's bone pain possible, but it's really get
a routine test with your doctor, that's it. Yeah, that's
the main thing.

Speaker 2 (02:32:04):
You say, asked for it?

Speaker 14 (02:32:05):
Well, no, if you go in the test that they
get where they get your chemistries. Yeah, CBC cmp is
can be picked up. Oh that's convenient. Yeah, because hell,
we all get those. I'll get like four of my
years exactly.

Speaker 12 (02:32:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:32:18):
Well, I'm under your guys care.

Speaker 9 (02:32:19):
So, uh, what are now?

Speaker 2 (02:32:22):
We always talk about treatments. You sound like there seem
to be a sense of, you know, a note of
optimism your voice that you know you get ahead of this,
and there are treatments for it. What do they involve?
What do they include?

Speaker 14 (02:32:31):
So I saw a patient a few months ago who
told me, you know I first saw you told me
just about five years to live and she's at fifteen
years now. So things that will really changed and not
continuous terrible chemotherapy the whole time. The new treatments, like
we've talked about Brian in the past, are the immune treatments.
Cartoon now for myeloma is now approved in the second line,

(02:32:53):
so first relapse, and we're looking at the using the
immune system to find a target in this case is
called BCMA B cell maturation antigen, and we have cart
we have what's called byte therapy against that. But when
that quits working, what do you do next? Well, now
there's a new target called GPRC five D, which long

(02:33:13):
long term. But when we use a bispecific in other words,
use an antibody that pulls T cells to that cancer
over a long period of time. It caused a lot
of horrible side effects of the bad tastes in your mouth,
skin problems, nail problems. It's kind of nasty, and people
may be in remission have to quit it because the
side effects. We're pioneering a car T and the first

(02:33:34):
patient's coming up, I believe this week, where instead of
having this long exposure and getting the side effects, they
get all the cells at one time with the infusion
of chimerican engine receptor T cells made from the patient's
own blood put back in, So they're only exposed to
that for about a month, go into a deep, long
laster and remission without the side effects. And that's after

(02:33:56):
they've already been through cart So you know, people that
have this, we don't have a cure right now, but
they can live for a very long time.

Speaker 2 (02:34:04):
Well that's very good news. Now, these are bespoke treatments. Correct,
This isn't something you get off the shelf. Uh no, Okay,
So how long does the treatment protocol go then, and
how long does it take to build these cancer treatments,
these bespoke treatments.

Speaker 14 (02:34:18):
Well, the typical person gets kind of an oral combination
of a monoclonal antibody like you're getting with an oral
for about four months ago into permission. Then they'll get
an outagus stem cell transplant hidros chemotherapy, which is fairly toxic. Yes,
And then after that they're on a maintenance pill and
that usually goes for about five years. At that point

(02:34:41):
then Cartie would be involved, and then after that's going
to buy you another couple of years. Then after that fails,
maybe by specific therapy for another couple of years, and
we can just keep adding these on at this point.

Speaker 2 (02:34:53):
Wow, so it's very long term. Yeah, well, it's ansors.

Speaker 14 (02:34:57):
It's long term, and because of that reason and side
effects are critically important. So we're always looking at doing
a better job from an efficacy standpoint, but also make
it tolerable.

Speaker 2 (02:35:08):
I have to ask you this because you and I
exchange a couple of words about RFK, you know, bringing
health to our attention and making an effort to get
you know, better foods, better diets, get rid of the
chemicals the additives for all of our collective health benefit.
How important in cancer generally speaking is diet?

Speaker 12 (02:35:27):
You know?

Speaker 14 (02:35:28):
I don't think anybody knows, but if you look at
when we were kids, you know, First of all, nobody
went out to eat you couldn't afford to, and there
weren't all the restaurants. The food was sourced locally. He
went to the local butcher shop. Now you go to
the supermarket and the beefs from all over the place.
So there's been a change, And clearly we see younger
people getting cancer earlier. How much of its diet, How

(02:35:51):
much of it's some other environmentally, but I think diet
clearly is part of it.

Speaker 2 (02:35:56):
Well, okay, I kind of felt that way as well,
because the abundance of sugars in our diets, and I've
been reading so much about sugar and its impact on
our health, and having cut the sugar out, I always
just to use as an opportunity just to tell people
give it a try, because you'll feel a hell of
a lot better, plus.

Speaker 14 (02:36:12):
Treat your diabetes and your hypertension and cardiac disease and
all those.

Speaker 2 (02:36:15):
Well fortunate I didn't have any right well, but it
keeps you from getting it, yeah, yeah, yeah. So in
terms of clinical trials, I think you might have just
gone on over it already, but I know you're always
doing clinical trials at OHC, and you know, folks, you
got cancer, you know, get a second opinion if you're
already being treated by someone, or make sure you're on
the cutting edge with with these clinical trials, because that's
where it's all happening. So those would be the cartoon

(02:36:36):
bite therapies you talk about it.

Speaker 14 (02:36:38):
We also have some from maintenance therapy that you know,
if you're happy with where we are in cancer therapy,
don't go on a clinical trial.

Speaker 4 (02:36:45):
But nobody's happy.

Speaker 14 (02:36:46):
You want to do better, You want to have less talks,
to steal of longer, and people think, oh, I don't
want a placebo. There's no placebo in these. You get
standard of care versus something we believe will be better,

Thanks.

Speaker 14 (02:38:00):
Are all the Vietnam vets you know should be thinking
about this too well.

Speaker 2 (02:38:04):
I'd like to hope since they get via medical care,
that they are getting that blood panel that we talked about,
so they will know ahead early on in the game
