Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
When you turn on your work computer, turn us on
Love listening all day fifty five KRCS work with the
Tall Stories.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
While do you work.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
At fifty five k r C the talk station Happy Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Some sense.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Education worker hard Yeah, reading my mind, Joe Drucker, Dude,
what the hell? In anticipation of Kencover, the FOP president
for the Ininsint Police Department, the violins continues and there's
no utterance from the mayor of the City of Insinety
Can I joined the program at seven oh five, followed
by a Christopher Smithman. We've got a text from the

(00:59):
other I'm going to I think it's something along the
line I'm going to be on fire tomorrow. He is
h I'm guessing I apologize for the cough. Also going
to be speaking to the violence. I'm guessing on that though,
But considering the a level of violence in the number
of shootings and uh well, assaults and thefts, ander crime

(01:24):
is rampant in downtown Cincinnati, So I suspect that's where
Christopher's going to go on the heels of Ken Kobra.
He'll be on at seven to twenty for the Smither
event and then we'll hear from the cincinnti VA. Fast
forward to the end of the program. Christina Hall from
the cincinnti VA with some information for our veteran friends
out of the listing audience. I love hearing from you.
Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight
hundred eighty two to three talk or go with town

(01:46):
five fifty on at and T Funds. Hope you had
a wonderful Independence Day weekend. I sure did. It was nice,
of course, sleeping in on an otherwise normal work day
and got to spend some time with friends and family,
which is always really a nice thing to do. Relaxing indeed,
And I hope you can say the same thing. I
hope you weren't in Blue Ash for the outrageous display

(02:07):
of fireworks, random shooting of fireworks into the crowds of
people that were trying to peacefully and calmly enjoy their
Independence Day celebration. Four hundred unaccompanied youth setting off fireworks
on a whole bunch of occasions during the Mad Tree,
Red White and Blue Ash for the July event at
Summon Park, intentionally causing panic. Got details on that, of course,

(02:32):
that's part of the way of crimes going through. But
get a load of this, Joe. Where'd you get the
list of the criminal activity in downtown Cincinnati that you
put together? It's from the CINCINNT Police Department data well,
anticipating the conversations we're going to have about the violence.

(02:54):
It's a list of the crimes that happened just pretty
much in the central district of downtown Cincinnati between June
and July fourth, only up till about seven o'clock in
the morning on July fourth. Of course, we had a
lot of issues that after seven o'clock in the morning
of July fourth, assault, Vine Street, theft, Walnut Street near

(03:15):
ninth Court Street, got a bunch of them. And this
is all seemed to be, you know, it's kind of
concentrated the same general area. Assault, Court Street, theft, Court Street.
These are all between three o'clock in the morning and noon.
Garfield plays assault, Central Parkway, something else happened, arrest, Garfield
plays robbery, Vine Street, assault, Main Street, theft, Court Street,

(03:38):
there's Court Street again, Court Street, all over the place
on this one theft, assault, theft, theft, theft, assault, other assault,
talking again, Central Parkway got seventh Street, Court Street, Seventh
Street again, Walnut Street, Main Street, Seventh Street again, Central
Parkway again, Main Street again. Noticing a pattern on here. Oh,

(04:03):
look Freedom Freedom Way for an assault, there's one out
of the oh and Joe knuts All Way, there's one again,
another one on Freedom Way. These are out several hours
in between each other. Ogden Place, there's Walllingon again, Ogden
Place again, Third Street, Third Street, Walnont Street, Main Street,
Fourth Street, all just seemingly right there in the center

(04:28):
of the city. I mean, we're not talking about in
you know, other notorious neighborhoods, some that have been struggling
with crime for a long time, the areas that might
immediately come to your mind we think about criminally related activity.
This is walking around down town Cincinnati, so really giving
you a feeling of comfort going on there. And then
look at the headlines this morning. I'll get to them
with local stories. Two teens injured in West End shooting

(04:51):
Sunday morning, hmm seven hundred block at Chestnut Street. Three
people hospitalized after a shooting near the banks Saturday morning.
Three people hospitalized one thirty am a near on Walnuts
Street between sixth and ninth familiar location based upon the

(05:15):
list of the ones that preceded Saturday that I just
read from police investigated incident believed to involve shots at
fired at officers in Westwood Saturday night, obviously called the
twenty nine hundred block west of Northern Boulevard for a
person believed to be having a mental health episode. Three

(05:39):
people have been taken to the hospital after a shooting
in Winton Hills happened Saturday night ten pm. So seems
we have a bit of a crime problem going on
in the city of Cincinnati. And you know, this has
been a terear for Christopher for a while now, and
I've made comments on it too, because I share his concern.

(06:00):
We have obviously a very left leaning mayor of the
City of Cincinnati. I'm not quite sure if he is
embraced completely behind the scenes or otherwise. The whole idea
of defund the police, but reimagining the police is different
wording for the same general topic. And so when you
start sending out, you know, counselors to in little police officers.

(06:20):
When counselors are hired as a chunk of the police
officer's budget, that means there's fewer active patrol officers out
there available. So someone's having a mental health breakdown, you'll
get a counselor sent to that. But what happens if
that devolves into criminal activity? What happens to that mental
health problems results in that person with the mental health
problem pulling out a firearm and starting shooting at people.

(06:41):
Be nice to have a cop there to respond. And
the budget implications if you're allocating resources that are not
going to police officers, when your police force has already
been depleted and running at numbers that are dangerously low,
leaving a limited number of officers there to respond to
actual emergency calls, you're exacerbating a thank you to the
I have to approvol administration. This is the direction they're

(07:05):
going to move in, I'm sure. And he's talked about
it before Camcover, he'll probably talk about it again today,
And I'm you know, police are there to pretty much
clean up the mess. How do we get to an
environment where we have really, in a lot of these cases,

(07:25):
really really young people going around and getting all shooty
at other people. If you're my age, did you ever
even contemplate something as bat crap? And same as that
breakdown of the family, social.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Media just.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I don't know, reminded of line from one of these
racially charged incidents. Why can't we just get along anyway?
Five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
eighty two to three dog pound fig fifty on at
and T funds away. I wish someone out there had
an answer to the problem. Oh all we need to
do is this, And what a horrific Moving aside, these

(08:15):
flash floods in Texas. Have you seen the video? Oh
my god, it's just amazing how quickly that the flood
had an impact, how quickly the river levels rose. It
was just an almost immediate thing. And now the death

(08:36):
toll is up to at least eighty two people. Rescuers
still searching for missing people, ten girls and a counselor
from that camp that keeps coming up camp and Mystic,
which apparently is racist too. We've got some former board
official out there named Sadie Perkins, remember the Houston feud
Food Insecurity Board claiming that it was just white girls

(08:58):
and if it was Hispanic girls in the camp Mystic,
then nobody would give a damn. It's just an insane
and direction. It's you know, everybody's trying to make the
most out of this in terms of political advantage. How
do you try to take political advantage of a situation
involving this tragedy. Now some may say, well, Republicans did
it when it came to Los Angeles wildfires. Yes, but

(09:19):
there is a causal connection between the mismanagement of forestry
and the allocation of resources and the preparedness for a
fires that everybody knew were going to come. So maybe
loss of life could have been prevented, maybe loss of
property could have been prevented in the leading up to it.
But there were multiple warnings given to the area about

(09:42):
this flood. I mean that twelve hours in advance. They
upgraded it four hours in advance of an emergency flood, Like,
somebody better pay attention. But if people are sound asleep
and they're not getting the warnings that are coming from
the Weather Service, then they're not going to get the
warnings that are coming from the Weather Service. People were
warned in advance. Seriously, do you take warnings like this
when you are in a flood zone? Do you do

(10:03):
you consider moving out when someone tells you there's flash
flood warnings in your area. That seems to me, there's
only so much people can do. Do you evacuate Camp
Mystic because of what the Weather Service said? I may argue, yeah,
you should have. Did they have a plan in place
to get move people out in the event that there
was an emergency issued? I don't know. Still forty one

(10:27):
people confirmed unaccounted for, according to Governor Greg Abbott. The
most recent reporting on this from yesterday evening claim they're
going to be searching until everybody is found. That's told,
they say is certain to rise more over the next
several days. According to authorities that are on the scene there,
volunteers and families of the missing who drove to the

(10:49):
disaster zone were searching the river banks. Authorities telling them
not to and stay away from it. It's dangerous, but
obviously they're wanting to help out. Authorities facing growing questions
about weather. Enough warnings were issued in an area along
vulnerable to flooding and weather enough preparations were made. See
those are the looming questions. But this isn't like it
came out of nowhere. Much in the California wildfires. They

(11:11):
didn't come out of nowhere. It's happened before. It's going
to happen again. Maybe it's like the boy who cried wolf. Oh,
We've gotten so many flood warnings and watches and nothing
ever happened, So why would we bother paying attention to
this one at this time?

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
National Weather Service provided over twelve hours of advanced notice
via the flood watch, that's an initial cap on that,
and over three hours of lead time for the flash
flood warnings with escalated alerts as the storm intensified. That's
according to the Department of Homeland Security who looked into
the matters. And apparently some are arguing that the DOGE

(11:54):
cuts the lack of weather forecasters somehow had something to
do with this. In other words, DOGE cutting some entity
of government is a causal connection with the death of
these eighty two and growing number of people in Central Texas.
But apparently no normally two weather forecasters on the job

(12:17):
in that particular area. They upped it to five, so
no staff shortage in connection with the weather forecasters five
seventeen fifty five. Care see the talk station Emery. Federal
Credit Union's got their golf outing coming up. It's a
wonderful opportunity to get together. Maybe some friends put a
foursome together and well help charity. Well enjoying a great

(12:40):
day nineteenth Annuel Charity Golf Tournament benefiting since Saint Children's
Hospital Charitable Care Fund. It's got four Bridges Country Club
again Monday, August eighteenth. So you got a great day golf,
opportunity to spend a support a worthy cause and again
maybe do some networking. Yeah, I've seen that go on
there at the golf tournament to a few words to

(13:00):
speak through the golfers as they head off on the
great day in the round of golf. So EMORYFCU dot

five KRCD talk station five went three seven, four nine, fifty,

(14:01):
five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talks found five
fifty on eighteen and t phunds the student observations from
the executives. So the fifty five KC Morning Show, Joe Strecker,
I was asking if people had any ideas about how
to stop the violence in downtown. You know, what's the
origin of it? Why does it seem to get worse?
Why don't parents seem to really care where their young
people are at any given hour of the day. Well,

(14:25):
the silence is definitely from the mayor of the City
of Cincinnati on the topic. We know that he alerted me,
Joe advised me that police Chief three so that Thiji
was out of town over the weekend. I hadn't read that.
I trust Joda's word. Why would he lie to me?
But if you're going to schedule a vacation and you're
the chief of police. How prudent is it to go

(14:47):
out of town on one of the busier holiday weekends,
most notably when the temperatures are through the roof and
violence tends to get a little more. He didn't know
if no pun intended. When the temperatures are up in
the humidity, it's a known phenomenon. People talk about it
all the time. The summer heats on its way, violence
is going to increase. People don't play it as nicely

(15:08):
together when they're heating. So I'm not sure you can
say anything about the absence of police Chiefdiji and uptick
in the violence over the weekend. But I thought that
the violences. Didn't they suspend e scooters and red bikes, Joe,
I wasn't that supposed to solve the problem? Yeah, okay,
so that's phase one of your proposals. Stop all red

(15:31):
bikes and e scooters and then tell all the young
people to go skating midnight, roller skating and it's all over. Well,
they've got that, and they suspended the e bike and
the red bike use over the weekend. That didn't seem
to have any impact. But the other component, I don't
know if it's phase one or Phase three or Phase

(15:52):
two factor it in there. As I read the list
of crimes, and they seem to be concentrated in a
particular area of downtown y I got Court Street, you
got Walnut Street, you got I mean Main Street, over
and over again. Thefts, violence, assaults, that kind of thing.
It's the streetcar line. A lot of these crimes occur

(16:17):
on the streetcar line. So Phase three or one or
two is shut down the street car maybe it won't
happen anymore. Just a thought, just the thought and the impact.

(16:39):
Speaking of law enforcement, I thought this was rather frightening. Fortunately,
we don't live in New York City, where the leftist
Zorhan Mondomini is widely predicted to be the next mayor.
Is scaring the living hell out of people who live
in New York, scaring the living hell about across the
political spectrum, even within the Democrat Party, who are trying
to scramble to figure out how it helld is they

(17:00):
can pull the plug on this COMMI well, police officers
also pulling the plug on this commedy they have. They're
leaving New York police in record numbers, and there's warnings
that if this Zorhan Mandomi is elected a mayor, they're
going to lose more police officers. As of this week,
one five hundred and fifty five officers have filed for retirement,
described as a forty eight percent increase from those who

(17:23):
left during the same period last year, a sixty five
percent increase from a decade ago, when only nine hundred
and forty one cops turned in their badges. This is
data from the Police Benevolent Association, says the union leaders
told put the New York Posts are not aware of
any point in New York Police Department history when we
retirements in the first half of the year have reached

(17:44):
this level. They say it's being driven in large part
by the growing concern that the Mondomni platform in Redick
would make policing in New York City even more untenable.
He's previously called the New York Police Department wicked and corrupt.
He's also saying it's it previously said it should be dismantled.

(18:04):
I'm sure that's great for morale for the Cincini Police,
for the New York City Police Department. But this is
a guy who out loud regularly complains about and has
historically complained about police. Generally speaking, it's part of the problem,
the problem with the system. I don't know the mayor,
Aftab Purval has out loud complained to the level of

(18:25):
the communist Mondomni, But again going back to the silence,
the fact that he's not out there supporting police and
asking neighborhoods to cooperate with police on a regular basis
in order to deal with the violence that we're facing
a downtown Cincinnati. I think it's reflective of maybe we
can read into what his position is relative to the
police department. Maybe the leftist mayor of the city of

(18:47):
Cincinnati is afraid of irking some of the far left
within his own party and decides, well, it's better to
just remain quiet and not say anything in favor of police,
but not say anything against police. Just shut up and
hide in my basement. Five twenty six five KRC the

attention to news. This morning, five thirteen a m. Release
Local twelve reporting that one killed in a shooting in
a sense a neighborhood, specifically Avondale, Avondale, one thirty am.

(20:32):
Hutchins Avenue, reading Road. Hey over to the phone's order,
which they received. Tom's first, Tom, Welcome to the morning show,
Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 7 (20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (20:42):
I had a pretty good weekend.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
How about you?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh it was great, always great, having a three day weekend.
Absolutely enjoyed it.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (20:50):
The US, that story in Texas, that's sad. I don't
want to get too political about that. There's really not
much political about it to me. It's just, uh, it's
it's taking advantage of cheap property down in a river valley,
and that's just an unfortunate consequence you might get out
of that. So well, people around here, I mean people

(21:10):
around here understand that clearly.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, and you know it's terrain based, it's weather based.
I mean, who who in the hell could predict you
the twelve inches of rain in like an hour or
something crazy like that. I was like it was somebody
flipped the switch, the flood started and it just immediately
inundated the area that I don't know there's anything you
can prepare for. Are you gonna uh re terrain the

(21:34):
entire area cut out the valley somehow I bulldoze it
or something. So no, it's a flood prone area based
upon the geography, and you know, the warnings were issued.
There's only so much you can do. I feel terribly
for those folks though. If you look at the end
of the water flowing, Oh my lord, who could have
expected something like that?

Speaker 8 (21:55):
Whoa something that we all desperately need badly. But man,
they can do some severe day image we had. We
had that in our building here right after right actually
right before we opened it, there was a there was
some water issues because of a big heavy rain that
we got about a month or so ago. So yeah,
it's it's water. Is water to be really really bad.

(22:16):
So there's, like I said, there's people around here that
do all too well. I did want to touch on
this whole issue with the University of Pennsylvania and uh
that it sounds like they fixed it, got it right. Uh,
but what whate it would we be if Trump had
won the election? Would that had ever happened? And uh,

(22:37):
you know there's an article there was an article about
a particular young lady that had to She was assigned
to locker right next to this dude, and she would
go over to the other side of the locker room
to change or or use a different locker room across
the hall or whatever. And and look, I understand you're
being put in a bad position, but that's the time

(22:59):
to speak up. And uh, you know, they're talking about
their their their careers and their futures being threatened. That's
the time to speak up. And the more of them
to speak up, the better, you know. The biggest voice
we heard through that whole thing was Riley Gaines. And
he didn't even go to school there, So I don't
want to bash on his young lady. I understand she
was she was in a bad position, but but that's

(23:21):
the time to speak up and say, now, this is
not right and this is not fair. We're not doing this.
I'm not even gonna step onto this platform to swim
if this is going to be the conditions I got
to be, you know, work under. So yeah, thank god
that Trump won the election and and that you know,
some some wrongs have been righted, and hopefully more to come.

(23:42):
And and uh, the only way to keep this going
people is don't vote Democrat. I have a great day, Brian.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Thanks Tom, You do the same well. And it takes
a very very strong young person to stand up in
the face of this what seems to be overwhelming support
for men competing against women. That is not true. The
support is not overwhelming poll after poll after poll. So
is that eighty percent of the American population, people of

(24:08):
all political stripes, are against the concept of men competing
against women in sports. You wouldn't know that based on
social media, but you run the risk of all kinds
of problems, and young emotionally sensitive girls, women, you know,
have a lot to put you at stake. If they
open their mouth and speak out against that notion, They're

(24:30):
going to get docs, They're going to get their fixtures
posted all over the place. They're going to get you know,
probably violent emails and death threats for daring to say
the obvious. So it's a huge decision making thing. And
I can understand fear being an impediment to getting out
there and talking about your experience and how terrible it
was having to compete against a man and having to

(24:53):
see his junk in a locker room. That's emotionally traumatic
for many young women. There's bad enough. You got to
be in there and you have to have body elements.
You're looking at your fellow women, and maybe you're feeling
sort of, you know, a little concerned about your body

(25:14):
as it relates to the other women in the room. Yeah,
oh I'm fat compared to so and so. Hell, you
got that going for you already, But now here comes
a guy with his junk hanging out. I just can't
imagine that struggle five thirty six fifty five K City
Talks Station. Although I can't imagine someone's reluctance to say
something out loud about it. How about fifteen hundred and
fifty dollars off? That's serious money. It's off a new

(25:36):
carrier comforting system from my friends at Zimmer Heating and Cooling.
No one wants to lose their air conditioning at this
time of year. Of course, no one ever wants to
lose their heat in the wintertime, but it does happen now.
Zimberal service anything you got, they do great work. They're
a wonderful of customer service. That's how they've been well
around for coming up on eighty years. Third generation family
owner operated. But every once in a while in the

(25:58):
life of home ownership you get some bad news news
and having to replace your whole system is not great news, right,
But saving fifteen hundred and fifty dollars takes the sting
out of that. So get in touch with Zimmer. You
can schedule appointment one of two ways. Call him up

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Behold the boot.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Five forty one. If it's five KRCE talk station, you're
having a happy Monday. FOP President Kenkober at seven oh
five on the violence, which seems to be getting worse
in the city. Follow like Christopher smitheman, don't know what
he's going to tear have a tear on, but something
tells me he's going to be on the same topic.
Could be wrong. We'll find out together. At seven twenty,
let's go to the phone. Se A Jay's guy, Jay,
thanks for holding over the break, my friend. Welcome back

(26:49):
to the Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
Hey, thanks Brian.

Speaker 9 (26:51):
Hey, I'm not a bit surprised that the violence in
Cincinnati and New York City and all these major metropolitan areas.
It's the predictable outcome of voting Democrat, which is defund
police and everything else that comes along with communism. What
does surprise me is where is the Republican Party ad machine?

(27:13):
Do they not understand don't let a good crisis go
to waste? And we've always said that the recent people,
because it's the people of Cincinnati that are voting for this,
it's the people of New York City that are voting
for that communist mayor, just like they voted for our
communist mayor. Where is the Republican Party with all of
the funding, all of their resources. Where are the billboards

(27:34):
and the full on ad campaigns to start out and
to have you had enough yet you've run a city
for forty years. Here's your crime rates. We can't help
you if you don't invite us in. So, if you
like the way things are, keep voting Democrat. Otherwise give
Republicans a chance. Where is Alex Tranthefila, the head of
the Republican Party. I would love to have his input

(27:54):
of are you guys even trying on these metropolitan areas?
Are you just turning your back on those folks walking
away from where the big population centers are.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, well, I mean you need candidates to run as Republicans,
and I know they're a handful of them now coming
up on the council. There's two Republicans runering for council,
and of course we have Corey Bowman running for mayor. Honestly,
I feel as though just the Republican Party gave up.
It's like they brought the flag outs, like screw it.
You know, Hamilton County is all blue. There's not a

(28:24):
damn thing we can do. We don't have any candidates
to run, We don't have any candidates support. All we
could do would be running issue campaigns, like you say,
but with no alternative to the Democrats that are actually
running and have you know, pulled papers and signed up
to try to get elected. I mean, it's one thing
to have a message, which I think they do. It's
another thing for someone to be the carrier and bearer

(28:44):
of that message in an election. And therein lies a
big challenge for at least Hamilton County. I can't speak
to the entire state. Of course, alex is the head
of the Republican Party for the state of Ohio now,
so he's got more than just the you know, Hamilton
County area to to deal with. But as far as
Hamilton County leadership goes, I have no clue. Jay. I

(29:06):
understand where you're coming from, and I agree there should
be some sort of marketing effort. But if you don't
have someone to run under that banner, were left without
a choice. I hate to have to say it over
to the stack is stupid. New York Post reporting on

(29:27):
this one, the Brazilian butt lift. You may have heard
of it. It's made it into the stack is stupid
quite a few times, usually in connection with someone getting
a butt lift procedure with silicone bought from a home
depot and done in a motel six. Don't do that,
considered dangerous procedure by experts, experts the possibility of death, infection,
and more. New York Post saying it's not just surgery risk,

(29:52):
but there is a rather bizarre and gross side effect
that goes along with it, something you might want to
consider before getting it done. Doctor Eric Anderson and from
Chicago based impressions face and body. I guess that's a
plastic surgery outfit quote. The BBL smell is real unexpected
side effect, often described as a musty or sour smell qRT.

(30:16):
An entity called South Shore Plastic Surgery Team of experts
that the smell is often expected for BBL patients after
sweating or sitting for long periods, but other factors like
tissue death described as a BBL complication, and unhygienic habits
that could cause someone with a BBL to have a
smelly behind. According to doctor Anderson, he said if a

(30:40):
patient was overfilled with fat during the procedure, fat neck crosis,
when the faty tissue in the butt dies, can occur.
Rancid smell can develop as a consequence of the death
of the tissue. So when there's more fat in area
than the bodies, then the blood supply allows the fat
we'll die through a smelly process called fat necrosis, which
can lead to infections and for antibiotics, hospitalization, and even sepsis.

(31:04):
Say it's another obvious cause of the BBL smell. Patients
struggle cleaning their bottoms because I guess their butt's gotten
too big. Then because of the surgery that they asked
for to make their butt big idiots doing idiot things
because they're idiots, all right. Uh, many potential risks come

(31:26):
with getting a BBL. One woman revealed that Senner went
this two times because the first one, in her word,
died scarlet black. A lot of the fat that's reinjecting
into your buttocks actually dies, like fifty percent or sometimes more.
For this BBL, we focused on lifting my butt and
putting volume in it. Apparently she has spent thirty six

(31:49):
thousand dollars on plastic surgeries in order to describe in
order to get what she described as a dream body,
and even after going through fat and necrosis, she's go
ahead and doing it again. By forty six fifty five

Stupid QC kinetics for pain, arthritic pain, hip pain, knee pain,

(32:11):
shoulder pain. You know you don't have to go unto
the knife. You've probably been through the multiple cycles of
steroid shots, and now this s words come up surgery. Well,
how about something. It's helped a lot of people get
their lives back together without more beds, without going under
the knife. It's QC Kinetics leaders in regenerative medicine using
treatments like advanced cellular therapy and platelet rich plasma which

(32:32):
actually help your body heel itself, is not masking the
pain that goes to the root of the problems. Cellular
treatments contain growth factors and healing properties which maximize your
own body's ability to heal itself, and they've had like
ninety two percent patient satisfaction rate with this. These are
numbers I got from them. That seems pretty damn impressive
considering your options are limited to perhaps surgery, so take

(32:53):
them up on the free consultations. Licensed medical providers go
over your X rays and mrin to see if you're
a good fit for these through treatments. But it starts

back to the stack is stupid, epic stupidity on this one. Fortunately,
no one harmed, except for the business man accused of
utilizing a business card to spend thousands of dollars in
unauthorized purchases on only fans and fans lely, I think
those are sordid websites if I recall correctly. Anyway, Streetport

(34:43):
the police department detectives on the hunt for Matthew Allen
accused of making unauthorized purchases totally nearly seven thousand dollars
using a business credit card. On the post on Facebook
Sjriff's department, you literally can't make this stuff up. Let's
just say his taste and expenses raised more than a

(35:04):
few eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
I think that you also net a phrasing one on
the way they put that statement. It raised more than
a few eyebrows. You get it. They revealed to totally
nearly forty nine thousand dollars in stolen front from this
guy being sought by authorities for theft, access to device fraud.
Apparently he has been picked up. Go figure this one out.

(35:30):
Two Illinois youth baseball coaches fired after being caught on
video streaking on a baseball diamond in front of players
at the Cooperstown Tournament in New York. Why are you
doing that? I don't think we'll ever find out. Apparently,
Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association said they're working with law
enforcement authorities, mostly because the coach is stripped down in

(35:52):
the presence of children. You can even hear children laughing
in the video that shows the two nude men's one
sprawling over home played in a New York baseball field.
Chose the men on the diamond bearing it all in
the presence of children. Boys usually playing the Lake Bluff
Field in Chicago's northern suburbs, or members of the Lake
Bluff Youth Baseball Association, which had been around more than

(36:13):
seventy years. Last weekend at the Cooperstown All Star Village
in Onionata, New York, close enough coaches for reasons unknown.
There's the answer to your question, Joe, we don't know
Cotton a video decided run around naked on the field,
forcing the team to be disqualified in the local Sheriff's
apartment in New York to be called Injriff's office said

(36:37):
Deputies Corps responded to the Cooperstown All Star Village after
security asked the two men to leave, but they refused. However,
by the time the deputy showed up, the men had left,
as well as all potential witnesses. Everyone cleared out of
the park. Deputies tried to interview anyone involved after obtaining
the video, but then the team had returned home to
Illinois Baseball Association. Boarding the statement, it's deeply distressed to

(37:02):
learn about the recent situation involving Lake Bluff or treating
this matter of the utmost seriousness and have contacted relevant
authorities who will continue to support those authorities and their
investigation of the matter. We have also taken immediate decisive
action by terminating the assistant coaches involved. However, the Sheriff's
office said they will not face criminal charges. Accord to

(37:23):
the Sheriff's office statement, the case was reviewed by the
Ostego County DA, which advised that prosecution was declined due
to the level of criminality involved in the fact that
all the parties reside out of state. It's not to
prosecute a case when all your witnesses are, you know,
about one thousand miles away. I suppose five fifty five. Larry,

(37:47):
I'm sorry out of time, but I will happy to
take your call off to the top of the arts.
You don't mind holding for a few minutes. I'd love
to hear it from me. Don't go away. I planned

starting off with Larry, we'll see.

Uh So smith min at seven twenty. Then Christina Hall

Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred and
eight hundred and eighty two three talk Larry, Thanks for
holding over the break there. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 12 (39:03):
Yeah, yeah, thank you. I was wondering about I know
a lady i'll call her Sally, watches these sites that
have I don't know if you call the conspiracy theories,
but I haven't heard you mentioned anything about the cloud seating.
My cospect that they're all singing that it's causing all
those floods.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
What do you think about that?

Speaker 2 (39:24):
You know, I was originally a total skeptic on this.
Now I don't necessarily I have not drawn any conclusions
whether the flooding that happened in Texas has any relationship
whatsoever to the chemtrail phenomenon, you know, the cloud seeding
otherwise interfering with the weather patterns. But I did have
in front of me and wanted to bring it up.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Green is introduced to build on a

(39:47):
federal level aimed at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the
release and injection to chemicals into the atmosphere which are
intended to alter weather or temperature or sunlight or whatever.
So I found interesting because and this is the timing thing, Larry,
I wanted to bring that up because last weekend we
were out enjoying a we rented a house. We were

(40:09):
charity were the high bidders at a charity auction for
the cure starts now, and so we were on the
lake in southern Indiana and my kids looked up and
they say, look, it's chem trails. And I'm like, oh God,
here we go. Now it's just exhaust from the airplane.
But no. Flying at a very high altitude, you could
see the plane and it was it was ejecting what

(40:33):
I believe was kem trail because it started and stopped.
It was a very deliberate pattern. You could watch these
huge billowing clouds come out from otherwise what would be
the contrail, a multiply larger fog like coming out of
the plane. And then it would stop and the plane
would travel on for a certain amount of distance and

(40:53):
then it would come back on again. So you have
this this series of lines in the sky. And then
they did another loop and came back and kept criss crossing,
So that to me raised a lot of red flags
first time at coming up on sixty years of age
in September that I had ever witnessed that phenomenon. So
does it have any connection with the outrageous flooding. I

(41:14):
don't know, but obviously it's reached the level of Representative
Green's attention, and Florida had already banned that type of
activity from happening a dysantis issue. Had a statement on
that which I can read. It's quite frightening. So yeah,
apparently elected officials, people in high positions, people who presumably
have the data, the information and knowledge, you know, what's

(41:36):
really going on, are taking note of it and now
moving forward to stop it from happening. So I'll let
you conclude whether or not it happened and caused this
severe flooding in Texas. It's not the first time we've
had that kind of flooding, but I guess it remains
a possibility given the level of attention some rather prominent
elected officials are bringing them to the concept. Let's see

(41:57):
what Keith Scott, Keith, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome
of the Morning Show.

Speaker 13 (42:01):
Hi Brian, how you doing okay.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
For a Monday.

Speaker 14 (42:05):
I wanted to talk about something of a very serious
matter that happened in the Middle East last night, and
it's getting no coverage in our country because of all
the coverage about the flooding in Texas and also the
big beautiful Bill. But I'm not sort of kind of
not knocking our news media for that, but this is
a very serious matter, and how I found out about

(42:28):
it was on the BBC Radio News and also on
the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio News. Last night about six
point thirty a Greek ship Okay was attacked in the
Red Sea. And it's a scary attack because it was
attacked by boats drone boats packed up with explosives, and

(42:55):
then after that it was attacked by boats of puties.
Also maybe they're friends of Somali pirates attacking the ship
with RPGs and the ship was also attacked by two
rockets fired from Yemen.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Oh jeez. I did see that there was a ship attack,
but I didn't read a whole lot about it. I
know it's out there being reported. I guess I'm kind
of curious since this kind of attack on ships has
been going on now for quite some time, and it's
certainly hopefully going to be addressed in these various peace
talks that are going on. But the fact remains that

(43:33):
there are crazy militant groups out there and fundamentalist groups
out there that still have weapons. And how are you
going to stop that from happening? And why do you
perceive this to be some sort of graver or concerning
development when again, it's not the first time this has happened.

Speaker 14 (43:50):
Well, ships have been attacked in the past, but nothing
like this. This is a new thing, these drone ships
packed with explosives. Yeah, and this is a threat to
the entire Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuves and the
Red Sea. I mean, this is serious. And since it
was a Greek ship that was attacked, or remember of

(44:12):
NATO this week, they could I'm not saying they will,
but if they got the cohones to do it, they
would ask for an emergency NATO meeting, and since they
were attacked in international waters, asked for Article five, All
for one, One for all and another thing too. Information

(44:32):
I've found out in the area surrounding Greece, their friends
like Italy and the other countries surrounding Italy and Greece
are very very mad about this that happened last night.
None of this is getting reported in our news meeting
in our country, and this is a danger to the

(44:54):
entire Red Sea, like I said, the Strait of hor
moves and the Persian Gulf. This new situation of these
drone sick ships packed with explosives.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Yeah, and I my understanding, and I think we can
all conclude those are probably pretty easy to come by
or easy to build yourself. I mean, remote control boats
have been around since I was a little kid, and
they've only gotten obviously much more technologically advanced. But yeah,
I'm just an Associated Press story about exactly what you're
talking about. Greek owned bulk carrier Magic Seas fell on

(45:27):
the Houthis that's suspicion anyway, on the Houthies, although they
haven't claimed responsibility for it. Bomb carrying drone boats hit
the shift after it was targeted by small arms and
rocket propelled grenades, so it was a multi prong attack
as you suggest. But yeah, this, I mean, how does
one deal with the threat again in a world where

(45:49):
it's almost like a world where more and more people
have nuclear weapons, more and more people. Countries, even very
poor countries and crazy houthy rebel groups can acquire these
types of weapons, and they're not under particular hierarchical structure.
I don't know that Iran's Ayatola is making these or
telling these folks to commit these types of acts. There
are lots of rogue actors out there. So you could

(46:11):
negotiate peace, and you can get every Arab country in
the Abraham Accords and agree that we're all going to
sort of be peacefully coexisting together. And yet there's always
a handful of nut jobs out in the world who
are willing to go ahead and do something thiss like
this because they don't believe in what their elected officials
are doing. So it's reported here sharly before midnight in

(46:32):
yame In, Israel's military issue to warning of for three
hoofy held ports and said air strikes would begin shortly.
So we may see some Israeli air strikes coming. But yeah,
I don't know how you eradicate that as a threat.
Our world is far more dangerous than it ever has been,
at least from my perspective. New Hampshire, Gary, Let's see

(46:55):
what Gary's god this morning thanks for calling the program. Gary.
Good to hear from you.

Speaker 15 (47:00):
Good to hear from you. I hope you have a
fantastic Fourth of July. By the way, on those boats, yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
I's gonna say I slept in so it was fantastic.

Speaker 15 (47:12):
Well that's great, Ryan, that's good.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
I'm glad.

Speaker 7 (47:16):
You do a hell of a job.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
You really do.

Speaker 15 (47:18):
Hey, on the boat thing, if you you know, I
pay attention to military things, the boat things that the
Ukraine is actually they print those boats out.

Speaker 8 (47:31):
They're printing the suicide boats.

Speaker 15 (47:33):
Out for the printer, you know.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yeah, so I'll let you know how cheap.

Speaker 15 (47:37):
And fast things can go. But Hey, on your chim trails,
I am a certified aircraft mechanic. I did it for
the military for almost thirty years. I am here to
tell you the chim trails that turn off and all,
it's not so much a conspiracy. It depends on the

(47:59):
humidity and the air and the water moisture content that
the engines are taking in which make it appear like
they turn off and on.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
Yeah, I spur to it.

Speaker 8 (48:10):
Well, it was the government.

Speaker 15 (48:11):
Actually doing things like you know, spraying atmosphere, trying to
change the weather.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Probably you know, I know it's not chem trails.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Well you know, but so many other people claim to
know contrary. And again this is the first time I
witness it. It seemed deliberately being turned on and off.
The pattern was very irregular. It wasn't like it was
a sporadic thing. And since the plane was not changing altitude,
the atmospheric conditions at least from what I understand, couldn't
have changed in such a small space that I'm staring at.

(48:44):
But it was a deliberate, deliberate on and off, and
very clear difference between the cam trail that obviously was
following the plane and this huge outburst of whatever was
being released, at least again from my standpoint on the
ground watching it happen, and the fact that it was
criss crossing. This plane was not going any particular place.

(49:05):
It was going back and forth in a very deliberate pattern.
It finished one pass, it turned around and came back
and did another pass or two or three. So that
doesn't make any sense for me. So lots of questions,
And then again you got this. Let yeah, I know,
I don't know what to see. Couple that, couple that

(49:26):
Gary with with the Florida's recent action banning this from happening,
and Marjorie Taylor Green's now introducing a bill on a
federal level to stop it from happening. Seems to me
either it must be happening out there, whether or not
I witnessed it, or it's something that could be explained
away by your your comments. Maybe some of it could
be explained away by that, but why all the attention

(49:46):
being brought to it now? Anyway? Appreciate calling me amster
Gary six sixteen coping with six seventeen fifty five KRC
detalk station. How about a place to unwind, relax, contemplate,
engage in prayer, reflect on the value and meaning of life.
And that's what Gate of Heaven Catholic Cemetery is all about.
You know, they invite you to reflect on their mission,

(50:08):
which is honoring life on sacred ground. More than a cemetery,
it's a sacred space where the dignity of every person's
respected life is honored from beginning to end, whether it's
through birth, life milestones, passing into eternal life. Gate of
Heaven recognizing and revers the sacredness of every phase of
the human journey and their cemetery offers a tranquil landscape surrounding,

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Is great twenty one fifty about KARCD talk station Heavy Monday,
one hour from now. Christopher smithmen with the spleen vent.
He's wound up today. He warned me in advance yesterday
he's going to be on fire today, which he typically.
Let's go to the phone, se what John's got this morning? John,
thanks so much for calling the morning show. And happy
Monday to you, sir.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Yeah, Happy Monday, Brian. Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Okay, yes, sir, A loud and clear.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
Good. Just starting to sound like a real conspiracy theorist.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
I just thought it was unusual timing that I see
that that happen with my own eyes for the very
first time, because I never ever believed in the whole
concept the kem trails versus contrails. I always thought, like
the last caller, all it is is the exhaust the
airplane at different humidity levels creates something that's either going
to last or it's going to be neatly disappear. You're
not going to notice it. But then there was this
jet up there with a distinct pattern going back and forth.

(51:41):
And my kids are all of the belief that chemtrails
are a thing. And then I come home and I
read over the weekend about this legislation on a federal
level for Marjorie Taylor Green on the heels of again,
Florida already passing center Bill fifty six, which prohibits geoengineering
a weather modification from airplanes. So if guv Or Desanta's
believes it, and the Florida legislature believes it, and at

(52:03):
least some members of Congress believe it, maybe there is
something to it. I'm still jury out on it though, John,
I haven't concluded one way or another.

Speaker 17 (52:13):
Oh, well, you might want to find out, like what
it is that they're dropping on you.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
It would be nice.

Speaker 5 (52:18):
Starters, That's just one thing.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
It would be nice to know this.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
Yeah, and you might might want to look into that.
So yeah, I mean, I've.

Speaker 18 (52:27):
Known this for years, but just got laughed at, just
like I got laughed at and black balled over the
whole uh COVID nineteen, you know the shots, the mRNA shots,
got happing blackballed about that.

Speaker 5 (52:40):
Yeah, it goes on and on.

Speaker 17 (52:44):
I got laughed and blackballed when I was down there
when I knew Cincinnati was going to become a sanctuary city,
when I was down there fighting against that and pleading
my case in front of mister Cranley.

Speaker 5 (52:58):
Yeah, that's one pretty much. That's but that leads me.
I just got one simple.

Speaker 17 (53:02):
Question, Like before Chris gets on and does his rant,
I wish somebody would ask him why he voted for
Cincinnati to become sanctuary city. Since you know, he's such
a so called maverick's been wondering if somebody's ever going
to ask him that question.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Did he actually vote?

Speaker 2 (53:24):
I didn't recall.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
That well looking up public records.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I don't deny that it's public record, John, I just
personally no personal recollection. It's like I have no personal
decision making with regard to whether kem Trail's are a
real problem or not. I'm just learning more information much
in the same way we've all learned more like since COVID,
wheneverybody was getting ousted and ostracized and docks and blacklisted
because they spoke truth to power. As it turns out

(53:51):
what they were saying was actually the truth versus what
we were being fed by way of information. We had
to wait to find that out though, you know, the
information trickles out very slowly. And look here I'll pivot
over to this one. See as we learn more and
more about JFK's assassination of what the CIA knows that
only took decades, fbis now determined that Jeffrey Epstein had
no client list, so don't wait for that anymore. Also,

(54:13):
he apparently didn't blackmail anyone, and he definitely killed himself
new reporting that has come out on that. Do you
believe that, in the face of all the conspiracy theories
and all the promises that we would get the client
list and all the information, Mam, maybe not. Bill. You're
gonna have to hang on if you don't mind for
a moment. I love to take your call, but amount

(54:33):
of time. It is six twenty five right now, and
I want to mention and refer everybody to affordable imaging services,
low overhead, but the same type of equipment hospitals use
for images, echo cardiograms, MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds. They are affordable.
Literally by comparison, I guess you might think that, well, oh,
I don't know, eight hundred with an enhancement, echo cardiogram
sounds unaffordable. Compare that to thirty five hundred dollars or

(54:57):
more which you would pay at the imaging department at
a high hospital. Clearly far more affordable. MRIs thirty five
hundred dollars at a hospital four ninety five without an enhancement,
CT scans five grand at a hospital four point fifty
without a contrast, only six hundred with a contrast. Every
image of done by affordable imaging comes with the board
certified radiologists report in the report in the price. I've

(55:21):
used these before, I've had images there before. Not to
peep out of my doctors about the concern with the
report or the images. Everything is fine. It's the same
kind of equipment. Hospitals use. People operating this equipment for decades.
They know what they're doing. So exercise your choice. You
have a choice five one three seven five three eight thousand,
five to one three, seven, five, three eight thousand. Visit

(55:42):
them online at Affordable Medimaging dot com.

Speaker 16 (55:45):
Fifty five KRC six point thirty.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Here fifty five KERCD talk station. I do have a
bill on the line posmon moment, Bill, and promised to
kick your call right out of the gab. But I
need to correct the record. Our last caller was wrong.
It only took jail about thirty seconds. Yes, there is
a public record. And CHRISTOPHS. Smithment wasn't even there for
the vote. He did not vote for sanctuary cities. He
was home taking care of his cancer stricken wife voting

(56:10):
against it. Amy Murray and Liz Keating, oh Winburn, Charlie Winburn.
So there you have it. Record corrected. Christopher Smithman was
not there.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Over the photos.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Let's you a Bill's guide. Hey, Bill, thanks for holding
over the break. Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 13 (56:27):
Morning Brian, Hey on their rain and everything you were
talking about about five years ago, four years ago, twenty
twenty twenty one, can't remember which date. A volcano exploded
in the ocean over and pop in New Guinea, and
it shot up so much water in the stratosphere that

(56:48):
they said last year that only three percent has fallen
to the earth.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I have heard. I've heard that before. A lot of
the quote unquote climate shames that they claim as a
consequence of you and I breathing was really the consequence
of that particular type of phenomenon happening with all that
water vapor in the air.

Speaker 13 (57:07):
Well, you can actually go on YouTube and watch that
Hong to Tonga because they show it from outer space.

Speaker 8 (57:13):
When it blows up, it's just phenomenal to watch.

Speaker 13 (57:17):
And uh, but as far as the chem trails go,
you know, that could be an airplane that's trying to
land and like Indianapolis has a delay for a little while,
and or or you know Saint Louis. That's how if
they were up that far, that's what could could have been.

(57:41):
Could as far as they could have been to where
they were delayed. But yeah, I look up that, look
up that Honga Tonga.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
I've seen that one. Yeah, I've seen that before, Bill,
And there's a lot of you know, sound science behind
that concept when you put that much water vapor up
into the higher atmospheric levels.

Speaker 5 (57:59):
Right.

Speaker 13 (57:59):
Well, yeah, you know, I always wondered how much fell
this year. They said last year three percent only fell,
so seems like they got their act together on some
sign stuff.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Yeah, well, at minimum, Bill, it illustrates it's a very
complex thing. It's not one size fits all. You and
I are not personally responsible for every change in the weather.
No geologic history. It's been changing, and it ever changes constantly,
ebbing and flowing. I mean, this is why I'm not
a believer in you and I being responsible.

Speaker 13 (58:31):
Brian. If you knew how many volcanoes you usually puff up, yeah,
a day, it's like fifteen of them. I mean, there's like,
you know, volcano eruptions a day. Now they're just spewing
a little bit of ash or or shooting off. But
I mean, it's it's a violent world out there we live.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
It is, and and every action, like every natural thing
like that or even a forest fire and negates every
single third that every human being in the globe is
engaged in to reduce their carbon dioxide output. One volcano,
one giant forest fire, eradicates literally everything we're chasing our
tail on this.

Speaker 8 (59:14):
Can I bring up something real quick?

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 13 (59:18):
Last year they had a big hailstorm down in Texas,
and so many of them mirrors or whatever they're called
solar panels got destroyed, and all them people down there
were yet belly aching about the chemical on the ground.
I would love to see somebody doing something about that,

(59:39):
as far as the EPA, because they never went down
there to try to clean that up. I forget what
little county it was in, but you know, there's like
seventeen football fields of that stuff down there.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Now, they pick and choose what they want to focus on.
I mean, think about the oil companies. If one bird
dies as a consequence of interaction with any oil spill
on any duction facility, the EPA goes after them and
finds a living crap out of them. Go walk beneath
all the windmills out in Indiana and see if you
don't find a bunch of dead bird carcasses laying around there.
Will the EPA do something about that? Will the any

(01:00:14):
other of the government agencies designed to protect wildlife to
do anything about that? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting
for that bill. It's a question of whose ox is
being gored, And if you're gonna go with the oil
company's ox, that's aoka. But we can't let anything like
pollution or dead birds and bats interfere with our pursuit
of zero carbon emissions. Goes back to the earlier point,

Speaker 6 (01:02:26):
This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station, the Free.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Six forty fifty five kr S talk station. Yeah, Bigfoot's
coming on in Lil Brian James for Monay Monday at
eight oh five. Strange turn of events here in the
morning show, Joe thinks it's now an extension of the
Overnight program, which I regularly make fun of. No, Bigfoot
does not exist, and there are no lizard people. But

(01:02:58):
are there chemtrails? And again I experienced this over last weekend.
I have no explanation for it. It's the first time
I've ever seen it. A very It was a jet,
very high altitude and a very distinct pattern of on
off with this billowing cloud coming out of the back
of the air airplane that it would shut off and
the plane would travel a certain distance and it would

(01:03:19):
come on again, and the plane went back and forth
and back and forth. Now I can't explain that. I'm
not saying that they were doing something nefarious or purining
down aluminum or whatever people believe are in the chemtrails.
But it was clearly a distinct on off concept that
was going on, and the fact that it was doing
lapse back and forth seemed inconsistent with anything a normal

(01:03:40):
like airline, a passenger airliner would be doing. And then
I start doing research for the program over the weekend.
This weekend, and I see the Representative Margie Taylor Greens
now introduced a federal piece of federal legislation happened over
the weekend at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the injection
to release the chemicals into the atmosphere intended to alter weather, temperature,

(01:04:02):
or sunlight, making the act a felony offense targeting both
private and government efforts to manipulate the climate through artificial means. Now,
if you don't believe it, and I understand that because
I was a total non believer until last weekend and
now I'm just sort of sitting on the fence wondering, HM,

(01:04:24):
that was an odd phenomenon I witnessed. But now we
have people in high elected capacity that are saying it
does in fact exist, so much so that we need
legislation to ban it. Now, I have to believe on
some level that they have scientific research or other research
that at least convinced them. That is a concern that

(01:04:44):
we need to worry about, insomuch insofar as we need
a criminal law to stop it, said, I'm introducing a
bilit of prohibacy injection, released or dispersion of chemicals or
substances into the atmosphere the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate,
or sunlight intensity will be a felony offense, according to
her post on X now that her bill is not
the first out of the gate to do this. It's

(01:05:06):
modeled after a bill that just passed in Florida, sent
it Bill fifty six, which prohibits all forms of geo
engineering and weather modification aimed at altering Florida's atmosphere. Bands
activities inject release, disperse chemicals, compounds, substances, or equipment into
the atmosphere with the intent to alter temperature, weather, climate,

(01:05:27):
or sunlight intents and e violations considered now a third
degree felony punishable up to five years in prison and
finds up to one hundred thousand dollars. Governor DeSantis again
someone who I always considered of sound mind. He seems
to be reasonable. He doesn't seem like a conspiracy theorist.
I don't think he's uttering things like lizard people are

(01:05:48):
controlling the government or nonsense like that. The year of
the Overnight program, he said, after also pointing out that
they banned flora in public drinking water, and he said,
in addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that
Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already
do not permit this activity. I will be signing SB

(01:06:10):
fifty six to prohibit the practice in our skies. Free
State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors
unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces. Now,
Florida used to allow permits for geoengineering weather modification. This
bill repeals all of that. Bill also includes key enforcement provisions.

(01:06:35):
Beginning October of this year, all publicly owned airports must
report the presence of any aircraft equipped with whether modification
or geoengineering equipment to the Florida Department of Transportation and
the Department of Environmental Protection will launch a public reporting
portal to identify suspect violations, which will launch over the summer.

(01:06:55):
Now again, I'm still out. I don't know what's being released.
I've seen all kinds of crazy allegations about what's being released,
but apparently something is being released. Otherwise they wouldn't be
proposing legislation, I'd like to think anyway, And again, this

(01:07:16):
isn't coming from some looney tune wing of any particular
political party. I mean, go ahead and ignore Marjorie Taylor
Green's effort to do this on a federal level. But
going back to Governor de Santis, don't you think he
has learned people, scientists and research and public policy and
papers that would prevent him from stepping in a legitimate
conspiracy theory by supporting the legislation and signing it into law. Hey,

(01:07:40):
Governed de Santis, Ron, don't do that. It's a bunch
of crap. This doesn't exist, it's not happening. There's nobody
trying to geo engineer anything. Look, here's all the research
and data supporting this position, and you need to stay
ten thousand feet away from it. Are they going to
label you a lizard person believing looney tune? I would
like to think Ron Santa says advisors along those lines,

(01:08:03):
So something to consider. I don't know how we ended
up on this tangent other than the fact that all
of these sort of stars aligned in my world relative
to how I used to think. And now I'm at
least open to the concept that is actually happened six
forty six fifty five K see the talk station. I'm
not much of a conspiracy theorist. Takes me a lot
of information and time to reach an informed decision, but

(01:08:27):
it is kind of comical to reflect back on what
I initially labored crazy conspiracy theorists, and then if you
fast forward a few years, then you find out, oh,
wait a minute, they were right all along, Maureen, you
know I'm talking about you. Colin Electric, great people for

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Chick, So if you want, if you have CARCD talk stations,
see I mentioned Marine on this whole conspiracy theory thing,
and she's listening. She sent me two more articles on amtrails.
She said, I've invading with my brother in law for
years about this, so I have a large cache of
articles on this subject. I will spellue the barrage and
just share two tidbit tidbits. Thank you, Marine. I appreciate

(01:10:57):
the fact that you're listening out there, and I appreciate
all the links that you give me to conspiracy theories,
which I discount immediately, only to find out later that well,
they do have some merit talking about discipline and violence
and the problems we're having the city of Since an
Ken Cobra FLP president at the top of the air
news Christopher Smith Aman, something tells me, although I do

(01:11:18):
not know that he's going to have a comment or
two about violence. And it was a terrible, terrible several
days in a row, but it makes me pivot over
to maybe there's solutions here and actually enforcing the Criminal
Code of Justice and seeing that these lawbreakers actually are
held accountable and responsible. It's a pillar of law enforcement
punishment as a deterrence for the rest of us. And

(01:11:42):
it's coming to schools. Saw this editorial board the Wall
Street Journal. School discipline makes a comeback. Whatever happened to
school discipline? I always wonder why people didn't get suspended anymore.
They were at discipline policy. In k through twelve, public
schools rode the progressive tide on race and crime. In
recent years, the Feds and states push therapy over suspensions
and expulsions, but classroom misbehavior has surged since the COVID lockdowns,

(01:12:05):
and some states are responding with changes that will benefit
teachers and students. Texas legislature may pass the bill that
makes it easier for teachers to remove misbehaving students from
classrooms and extends the allowable time for in school suspension.
Some three three hundred district Texas District employees were targets
of student assault in one single countary year twenty three

(01:12:29):
to twenty four. That's according to the reporting by the
Texas Tribune. Removing students for any unruly, disruptive, or abusive behavior,
as the legislation allows, could help prevent such escalation. Arkansas,
back in April, pass the law ensures students removed for
violent behavior aren't returned to the same classroom. Also stripping
from state law requirement that districts use positive behavioral support,

(01:12:52):
which focuses on conflict resolution and coping skills to address
student misbehavior, Washington State Superintendent finalized rules effected this month
loosening restrictions on removing, suspending, or expelling students. Other states
taken similar action in release in years, including Louisiana and Nevada,
where the state teachers' unions supported legislation making it easier

(01:13:14):
to remove students. All this marks a shift away from
the progressive push for therapeutic or restorative practices before or
instead of classroom removals. The Obama administration encouraged districts to
emphasize positive interventions over student removal, and a twenty fourteen
guidance letter warning of racial disparities and disparities and traditional discipline.

(01:13:36):
A twenty twenty three Biden Education Department document advocated listening
and healing and warned that suspensions and expulsions, in their words,
often disproportionately affects students of color. The soft disciplined policies
have victims of their own. Cord to the Texas Built,
teachers are getting hit, kicked on, spit on, and cussed out.

(01:13:59):
The fact that we cannot suspend these students and have
to wait, in some cases weeks until we can bring
parents and team members together to create a solution is
leaving both teachers and ministration with a feeling of helplessness,
said one district superintendent. Peers of disruptive students also robbed
of learning time. According to a former teacher writing for

(01:14:21):
the Fordam Institute last year, Daniel Buck peers, given the
high poverty schools struggle the most with disciplinary challenges, keeping
disruptive students in classroom only widens the achievement gap. This
is hardly racial justice. Many Democratic states are still pushing
therapeutic practices, but at least districts don't face the same
pressure from the feds. President Trump issued in April executive

(01:14:45):
order to crime equity ideology in school discipline, calling on
the Education Secretary of Line mc mann to produce a
report on the model school discipline policies. The order rejects
the Obama era practice which the Biden administration never disavowed,
of investigating districts for civil rights offenses based upon statistical
racial disparities and discipline data. This should ensure schools are

(01:15:08):
free to enact discipline based on behavior, not race. School
discipline is mainly a local matter, as schools can best
judge the struggles of individual students while protecting teachers and classmates.
The Trump administration will do the most good if it
lets states and districts figure it out, as many of

(01:15:28):
them are already doing. Yeah to see, maybe if you
discipline the children a little bit more harshly threaten them
with expulsion or suspension, maybe they'll stop doing it. At
least it'll be in the arsenal of ways to deal
with an obviously ever growing problem. Six fifty six fifty

you're having an appy Monday, as is always the case.
Former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman
with an advanced morning to me over the weekend via text. Uh,
he's really ginned up and fired up and ready to
launch this morning. In between Alan then and I'm not
sure what he's going to talk about, but something tells
me it may be the violence going on in downtown Cincinnati.

(01:16:42):
Joining the program this morning, Welcome back Fokey, President the
Federal Order Police Chapter sixty nine for the Sinsinant Police Department.
Ken cober Or President, Welcome back, Ken. It's always great
having you on the program.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Do you start out this morning? One thirty This morning,
Hutchins Avenue reading road to abdel We have someone killed
in a shooting. Going back, just looking at the headlines.
Two teens injured in a West End shooting happened on
Sunday morning, three people hospitalized after a shooting near the
banks happened on Saturday morning. Police investigating incident believed to
involve shots fired at officers in Westwood happened Saturday night.

(01:17:19):
Got a Winton Hill shooting police investigating that happened Saturday
night as well. I mean, the list is almost endless,
and it seems to be getting worse. Ken, covert your reaction,
and plus the list that Joe Strecker compoted he got
from the Since Police Department, showing all of the assaults, thefts,
and other arrests that happened, mostly like in the central
business district of downtown over the past several days leading

(01:17:41):
up to the fourth of July holiday weekend. I mean,
this is crazy, Ken.

Speaker 4 (01:17:45):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, let's not forget too.

Speaker 19 (01:17:47):
On fourth of July we had a two police officers
that were shot at that after watching the video, one
of them especially is absolutely lucky to be alive. I mean,
by the grace of God, he didn't get hit by somebody.
It was almost almost point blank range.

Speaker 17 (01:18:00):
Yes.

Speaker 20 (01:18:00):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
And where did that happen?

Speaker 19 (01:18:03):
That was on Western Northern Boulevard and an apartment complex
investigating a trespassing complaint.

Speaker 4 (01:18:08):
Oh my god, violent, violent weekend.

Speaker 19 (01:18:11):
I talked to two ulcers yesterday, both of them been
on more than twenty years. They said this weekend has
been the worst weekend they've worked in their careers. The violence,
the droves of kids unsupervised, you know, just creating absolute mayhem.
At one point would have been Sunday morning, the District
four was calling for standby cars meeting. They needed more

(01:18:31):
cars to help them because nearly every third shift car
was at the jail with a prisoner.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
Oh my lord, and you're short on numbers too. It
can't be understated that we don't have enough police officers
out there, and the police officers that are out there
are working substantial overtime hours. So what would you expect?
Jostrecker told me the Indianapolis had a violent weekend and
the mayor there immediately instituted a curfew. We do it.

(01:18:59):
We talked about this before. Or there is a curfew,
is there not for young people in downtown Cincinnati?

Speaker 19 (01:19:03):
Ken, Yeah, there absolutely a curfew. And like I said,
using District four as an example, you know that they
can't arrest their way out of this problem when you
have nine or ten cops that are encountering three hundred juveniles.

Speaker 4 (01:19:15):
Yeah, there's only so much that you can do.

Speaker 19 (01:19:19):
You know, It's just the violence is absolutely just out
of control in the city.

Speaker 4 (01:19:25):
Like I said, you use Indianapolis as another example.

Speaker 19 (01:19:27):
You know, they had seven people shot and two murdered
in one incident. You know, homicide after homicide after homicide
in Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
This stuff is just out of control.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
Well, if you could have your way, I mean, what
do we have by way of solutions that are out there?
I mean, enforcing the curfew? Could we hold parents accountable?
I mean, you have to enforce the curfew, bring the
kid in front of some a judicial authority, obviously to
get their parents involved. And then why did you let
your kid out pass curfew hours? And maybe get some

(01:19:58):
answers from parents who maybe absent here just really don't care.
I mean, Lord Almighty, I consider my life growing up.
My folks need to know where I was all the time.
And you know, you need to ask permission to be
out past a certain curfew hour. And if you didn't
ask for mission, you're going to get in a world
to hurt when you finally got home. I mean, that
kept me out of trouble for the most part anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
Sure, but you know it's a good point bringing up
the judicial system.

Speaker 19 (01:20:22):
I know, well, the juveniles that got arrested at red
Win and Blue Ash, you know, Friday night, from throwing
fireworks a crowd of people.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
The d's so disturbing, right.

Speaker 19 (01:20:33):
Was arrested Saturday morning at juvenile court and magistrate dismissed
the charges. This is the this is part of the
problem that we're dealing with is we can't arrest our
way out of this problem. And when you do make arrest,
you have magistrates in the juvenile court system that just
decided that I don't like this charge, so they dismiss it. So,

(01:20:53):
you know, only one part of the justice system seems
to be working right now, and that's never going to
fix things.

Speaker 5 (01:20:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
We had a prosecutor there willing to move forward and
prosecute the charges, and yet the judge just said, no, no,
exercising my discretion. I'm just checking this case out.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Yeah, im my understanding.

Speaker 19 (01:21:10):
I believe the prosecutor's office is likely going to appeal
this decision.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
Yeah, But like I said.

Speaker 19 (01:21:17):
You have kids that get arrested the police do the
right thing, only for them to be let back out.
It's no wonder that we're having a problem with all
these juveniles, not only here in Hamilton County, but across
the country, because this is a problem everywhere in every
major city.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Well, and if I was in mayor aft have Purvoll's place,
or as one of the council members, I would out
loud say something about that, say listen. In order to
bring about some safety and some comfort for the citizens
of Cincinnati and some relief from this epic youth violence problem,
I am calling upon magistrates and everybody involved in the
judicial system, from prosecutors through the judges on all levels,

(01:21:50):
to start taking these crimes seriously and not throwing them out.
The silence from the council and elected officials, including the mayor,
is deafening, is it not, Ken.

Speaker 19 (01:22:00):
Yeah, I mean absolutely, I mean said, not only have
you had all this violence, you had to get police
officers shot at back to back days. Yeah, I've heard
absolutely nothing from elected officials.

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
That's heartbreaking, Ken, it really is. You feel, I mean,
we all feel so let down about it. It's almost
it's it's tacit approval. If they're not out loud screaming
about the violence and demanding answers and demanding accountability and
demanding prosecutions. Then they're silence I think shows support indirect
or tasked support for the violence that's going on. In
other words, kids, keep it up because nothing is going

(01:22:35):
to happen to you.

Speaker 19 (01:22:37):
Yeah, And to be quite honest, the cops are fed
up with it. They're done with it. You know, the
every weekend you have cops working Friday and Saturday nights
with SWAT, CDRT. You're working over time. It's going to
come to a breaking point where cops are just going
to say, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm wasting my time.
I'm not doing it anymore. And then what's That's when
that's when things are really going to.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
Get bad, As if it's not bad enough already.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Are the number of officers planning on retiring or taking
early retirement or just basically dropping out of law enforcement?
Do you get any indications those numbers are going up
right now? Are they getting wars?

Speaker 5 (01:23:12):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
I mean it's weekly. We're losing people weekly.

Speaker 19 (01:23:15):
That just that the people that weren't even really on
the radar, if you will of Hey, I'm going to retire.
I got a classmate of mine that just said I'm out,
I'm done, and these yeah, I think the end of
this month he's done. He's not staying for the you know,
the drop program.

Speaker 4 (01:23:31):
He's like, I've had enough.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
On out well. And you know, in terms of lateral hires,
and I know the Council has taken steps to try
to bring more lateral hires and officers that have experienced
some other law enforcement. It's a shorter window of training,
not like a brand new cadet class, and those are
in line too. But I mean, if it's bad, that
bad morale wise, and from an officer considering employment of

(01:23:52):
the Insant Police Department, here's about this, Like wait a minute,
I'm gonna be out there putting my life on the line,
spinning my wheels, and they're going to get just freed
by the justice system because as well the magistrates, you
don't think it's a legitimate charge. What's the point I'm
going to go in with a bad taste in my
mouth as a potential employee.

Speaker 19 (01:24:10):
Well, because it's going on in every department around this country,
you'll be quite honest. So I think they're looking at
it as the financial benefit of coming here, because you're
going to do pretty well. I mean, over time is
so readily available, you can make as much money as
you want, and I think that's what a lot of
officers are going to be coming here for.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Well, at least, I guess that's one bright spot in
the whole equation. We have officers that are still willing
to work for this insane police department. But it's really
it's heartbreaking to know that this is happening broadly and
across our country. Of course, I can only blame the
Democrats for their anti police policies, and of course all
the liberal prosecutors and liberal judges that they put in
place in these various blue cities. They're getting what they're

(01:24:52):
asking for, it seems Ken.

Speaker 4 (01:24:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:24:55):
I mean, it's absolutely disgusting that you don't have elected
officials speA out against his violence. That you're not going
to judges saying hold these people accountable. It's just not occurring,
and that's why we're in the position that we're in.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
Wow, well, not a pretty picture you're painting to day
at ken Kober. But at least we get to talk
about it and raise everybody's awareness to it, and maybe
we can start making demands on our elected officials, like
threaten them with being chucked out of office in November,
there's an option, Ken Cobert, God bless you and each
you and ever remember the police department. We obviously appreciate
how tough it is to do your job every day,
and I'm a little disappointed that so many more are retiring.

(01:25:32):
But you know what, it doesn't shock me in any way,
shape or form, given this the current climate. God bless
you man. Keep up the great work, and you're always
have a venue here to talk about what's going on.

Speaker 4 (01:25:44):
Sure, thanks for having me, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Thanks Ken, always a pleasure. Christopher Smithman up next. Yeah,

Speaker 6 (01:26:58):
This is fifty five an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Fifty five kerr CV talk station. Monday. That means it's
time for the former vice mayor of the city since
say Christopher Smithman and the smither Vent. Christopher, welcome back
to the morning show. What's great hearing from you. I
understand you're all a gended up this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:27:18):
Oh man.

Speaker 7 (01:27:19):
I mean, first of all, good morning, Brian. To hear
the FOP president Ken Kober talk about what's happening, the crime,
the violence in our city, I don't even know where
to start. It was actually my lead vent in this morning.
And to hear him say officers are being shot at,

(01:27:41):
you know, to hear the I don't want to say
desperation in this voice. I don't know want because you know,
I don't know the FLP president to say there was desperation,
but to hear it was definitely frustration.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Oh yeah, we've got.

Speaker 7 (01:27:52):
Three hundred youth running around. You know, curfew is not
being enforced. You know, he can't really say, like I
can say that he has a city hall that's not
backing them up. You know, the fundamental question is where
is the mayor? Who is the mayor? I mean, this

(01:28:14):
is the reality of where we are while young people
are dying. I mean to wake up to three people
shot on the banks, I mean, that is the heart
of your downtown, that's where the Dora is, that's where
our stadiums are, you know, and so city call keeps
saying everybody is safe. These are one offs. And then

(01:28:34):
to hear the FOP president Say Hey, a twenty year
veteran is saying, this is the most violent time they've
ever served as a Cincinnati Police officer. That is the reality.
That is what's happening. Officers are being shot at, youth
are not being held accountable. The judges are letting them
loose when they are arrested, no matter what it is,

(01:28:57):
whether it's a gun, whether it's fireworks, And the reality
of it is, we have a mayor we can't find,
we don't even know where he is. We don't have
a city council that's pushing back on the mayor. They're
nine members of council. Somebody should be pushing back on
the mayor. Brian Thomas saying, we have to have a
real plan. Number One, We've got to have uniformed officers

(01:29:20):
in their cruisers downtown after nine o'clock until two or
three o'clock in the morning. You can't bring down those
officers between the times of eleven am and seven pm
and think you're gonna deal with the crime that you
and I are most concerned about. We need visible officers.
You can't have cloth up officers who are in playing clothes.

(01:29:42):
That doesn't deter What that does is those officers are
running to the scene after something happens because you don't
see the cruiser, they don't see the uniform. So if
we're not gonna get control of our downtown, we're not
going to get control of the core Brian Thomas, I'm
trying to figure out what mayor pure Vault is doing.
This is why I'm supporting Corey Bowman premiere. This is

(01:30:04):
why I'm supporting somebody like Matthew's for city Council. I
want something different. I don't want to get to November
and have the same problems st you and I talking
about the same thing next year, because we have the
same administration. And I'll tell anybody listening in the fifty
two neighborhoods, you vote for the same thing, you're going
to get exactly what you voted for.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
Yeah, there's no question about it. And quite often, you know,
the whole judicial element is out of our control. Now
we do have the ability to vote for judges, but
if you have these magistrates that are just letting people
out without you know, the approval of the Prosecutor's office,
and I think that suggests a real problem right there. Again,
going back to the police. Why bother doing your job

(01:30:46):
knowing full well then the rest for a curfew violation.
Even with a bunch of kids gathering in a gang
and threatening people or committing criminal acts, you know they're
going to be let out. Why deal with the paperwork?
What's the point? And so you know the.

Speaker 7 (01:31:00):
Brian Thomas, Brian Thomas, why do they push back on
us at city Hall and tell law abiding citizens not
to carry a firearm to protect themselves? See this is
the part I don't understand. It's like, you're not going
to protect this and then you're saying you don't want
me to protect myself. I don't understand that logic.

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
Well I don't either. And if they don't want people
with firearms downtown, I think a lot of businesses are
going to suffer. You think about like that couple that
got attacked coming out of Ruby's Steakhouse. I mean, you
have a seven o'clock or eight o'clock up reservation. You're
not going to be out of there before eleven pm.
And that's apparently when the streets start getting unruly and dangerous.
So I imagine a significant drop off for a lot

(01:31:39):
of restaurants and businesses downtown. You know the Brady Center
with concerts, you're going to be feel comfortable coming out
of a concert right there by the banks and walking
back to your car.

Speaker 4 (01:31:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:31:49):
And before we go Brian for this segment, let me
say I don't want anybody to walk away or listening
to the two of us, both of us are pro
Cincinnati amen. Both of them us want Cincinnati to do well.
Both of us are really want to support the mayor
and city council. We want the greatness for Cincinnati, but
we can't have this much violent around our fifty two

(01:32:13):
neighborhoods and specifically in downtown. And you and I sit
here and not call it out. Listen to the mainstream
media say everything's okay, come on downtown. There's no way
the former vice mayor is gonna go downtown, go to
downtown after a certain time period because I don't want
to deal and have one of these confrontations that ends

(01:32:35):
up me or the person in a bad situation. Downtown
is out of control. And we have a mayor who
is assent.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Seven thirty on a Monday talking with Christopher smithm and
former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati about the
significant problem we're having with violence, lots of shootings over
the weekend, and prior to that, a full week worth
of violence, mostly in the Central Business district. Joe Strecker
noticed a sort of a a parallel between where the
violence and the thefts and the assaults all happened along

(01:33:06):
the streetcar line. So I'm not sure if there's any
connection between that or nothing. But Christopher, real quick, before
we get you back on your rant. I don't mean
to go off in a different direction, but we had
a caller this morning and accuse you of voting for
the sanctuary city law, and Joe Strecker looked it up
and said, no, you weren't even present when that vote,
was taking your home taking care of your cancer stricken wife, Pamela.

Speaker 5 (01:33:28):
That's true. Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 7 (01:33:30):
That's not true.

Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
That's not accurate.

Speaker 7 (01:33:31):
Anybody presenting that it just doesn't have the fact.

Speaker 5 (01:33:34):
Okay, let me but yes, okay, I.

Speaker 7 (01:33:37):
Did not that's not true, and I even verbally did
not support it when asked about it. I did not
support it. I never supported sanctuary cities. And you can
and you can call Mayor John Cranley and ask.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
Us you'll be laughing.

Speaker 7 (01:33:50):
It did not support say Saquare City, but here, but
here's what I want to share with you. Look, we
are at a point now where the National Guard needs
to be called in into downtown Cincinnati. That is how serious.
This is where we need to reach out to the
governor and say, listen, enough is enough. If the mayor

(01:34:11):
and council cannot get this violence under control, and they
actually can by empowering their police department. If we have
a police department that wants to do their job, but
they've got to feel like they're going to be supported
because they understand that once they interact with one of
the young African American youth downtown with a gun, they

(01:34:33):
then the white officer or black officer returns fire or
has to take the life of one of these young people.
They know that all of the activists across the state
of Ohio and the United States, because CNN will be
all on it right that they don't want to take
that chance with their entire family, their life. I'm talking

(01:34:54):
about the police officer. Police officers understand downside. So the
bottom line is they understand that you have a mayor
who really wants to reimagine the police department. They have
a mayor that really wants to defund the police department. Right,
we're talking in a backhanded way. He can't say it clearly,
But you can go.

Speaker 17 (01:35:13):
Down to a.

Speaker 7 (01:35:17):
Protest with a bullmorn in the middle of the violence
telling people that that President Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 (01:35:23):
Is a king.

Speaker 7 (01:35:24):
It tells you where his mind is. You're not focused
on running the city of Cincinnati. If you're the mayor,
we want every single minute of your mind focused on
the city of Cincinnati. But he's so worried about thinking
about running for state government, running for federal government, he

(01:35:44):
can't focus on the violence, which is the number one
issue in the city. Sinciety and I think Governor Mind
do want should consider bringing the National Guard into downtown
Cincinnati to secure it, to quell the violence and give
our police department the opportunity to get their hands around it,
and the four City Hall to do what do their jobs. Yeah,

(01:36:07):
I cannot have these apples said, not continue to have
the violence that we're having with brown people and black
people killing each other in the streets. The epidemic that
we're experiencing in Cincinnati is not like it's not happening
in Cleveland. Are happening in Toledo, but we live in Cincinnati.
Let's do something about it. Let's act like we really

(01:36:28):
care about it. We can't just have a mayor who's
trying to look pretty and talk about where he wants
to go next when you have all of the bloodshed
that's happening in our city. It's just a really and
the FOP president. I hope everybody listens to that interview
that you did with President FOP kN Kobra. That was
sobering to hear what he was saying that was really

(01:36:49):
going on, because if you listen to him and then
you listen to the mayor, there are two separate stories.
Who do you believe.

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
I believe the FOP president most assuredly. He works with
those officers day in and day out. He knows about
the increasing numbers of officers who are planning on retiring
and sort of made the decision out of nowhere, it seems.
And of course, the depleted ranks of the police department
can't be understated. And how do you feel a law
enforcement how do you meet a law enforcement challenge if
you don't have enough warm bodies in uniform to patrol

(01:37:18):
the neighborhoods. So yeah, seven nine if if you have
Kerosene detalk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman and Christopher
doing the smither vent having a go at our elected
officials downtown Cincinnati, the mayor and city council. The silence
from them is acutely deafening in terms of the violence

(01:37:38):
that's going on. Is this a marketing campaign or do
they think just by hiding and not answering questions and
not addressing it directly and not demanding people cooperate with
police or supporting the police, is this just all an
effort to make the to paint a pretty picture or
is there something more nefarious going on. I mean, we're
kind of left to guess.

Speaker 7 (01:37:56):
It's the Democratic base, some part of it, that woke
part of it Brian Thomas, that we are hearing about
in New York. Even with this candidate out of New York,
it is rampant within the Democratic Party and so Democrats
who know they're going to run in a primary. This
is important to understand, not in the general action thinking

(01:38:20):
how do I get out of the primary if I
come out and say I support the police. When have
you heard our mayor just simply say I support our
police department and I want them to do proactive policing.
I'd like them to be downtown when we have the crime,

(01:38:42):
and I'm going to support them as they make those decisions.
We know we have a youth issue downtown, we know
we have guns, and we know it's a recipe for
p Why can't I or say that because of his base,
Brian Thomas, he's worried about a primary and if he
says those kind of things, the people of most primary

(01:39:05):
vote voters will not vote for him, and so he's
putting our lives and our city at risk for his
political career. That is the sad part of what I see. Gee,
that's what I liked about Mayor John Cranley, whatever they
said about him, whatever, you know, his toughness are. Sometimes
he can be, you know, verbally rough on people when
he's holding account of but he was tough on crime.

(01:39:27):
You know, John didn't messing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:30):
You're kind of you're breaking up a Look, you're breaking
up a little bit, Christopher on and know we can
do anything about that.

Speaker 5 (01:39:36):
Now, I'm sorry I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (01:39:37):
I'm saying John Cranley was tough on crime. He was
a blue dog Democrat. Yeah, we don't have that anymore,
Brian Thomas. We're missing that within the Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
Let me ask you this, Let me test your theory
real quick on that. Now you're saying the mayor doesn't
want to outloud support the police because you know, he
might get primary and he might he might drive away
his far left wing base. But you live in the city,
since you are a member of one of the neighborhoods
in the city of Cincinnati, you know, and you interact
with people in the city of Cincinnati each and every day.

(01:40:07):
I mean, your job's in the city Cincinnati, the whole thing.
So do you really truly get a sense that your
people in your community really have a disdain for police
or would they prefer a greater police presence, Because I
keep thinking that this anti police sentiment, it's bad for
every neighborhood. If you have crime in your neighborhood, I
would like to think that you want it cleaned up,

(01:40:28):
and clean it up, you need cops, and that most
people probably really deep down support the police and would
like to see their neighborhood safe, and that they reject
this argument that the police are all evil people. And
should be kicked out of the neighborhood. So where are
you on that in your belief relative to what the
people actually want?

Speaker 7 (01:40:47):
I think the silent majority. No matter where you live,
whether it's Paddock Hills, North Avondale, Bond Hill, whether it's
Price Hill, whether it's Westwood, you want the police. Okay,
but you and I. What I'm talking about is a
primary where we just saw I don't know what the
number was, maybe seven percent of voter show up. T'mar okay.

(01:41:09):
That means ninety three percent of those other voter state homes, right.
And so what politicians' way is, if I can't get
out of the primary, I can't run in the general.
I'm letting you know how politicians think. And so he
cannot piss off meaning this, this current mayor can't piss
off this woke part of his party. They vote wants

(01:41:32):
you to kneel because they vote. And if he comes
out and says I support the police, and they're out
there saying no, I want you to reimagine it. I
want you to bring counselors in to respond to runs.
I want you to defund the police, whatever the word is.
I want you to do he's thinking in his head
the next step. If I do those things, I might

(01:41:52):
not win a primary, right, And so this is the
problem with electing people that are as ambitious as our
current mayor. That's what I'm saying. So they answer your
question is yes, our fifty two neighborhoods, Brian Thomas, they
overwhelmingly want police and want to support the police, want
to call nine to one one and get a response. However,

(01:42:14):
in a primary, many of those people aren't showing.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
Up the voting.

Speaker 7 (01:42:20):
In a general they are, but in a primary they're not.
You can't have seven percent show up, right, Those seven
percent that show up for those that are motivated, and
that is what our current mayor is most concerned about,
and we're suffering because of it. And this is why
I really think the governor should consider bringing the National
Guardian into our downtown to secure it. We cannot continue

(01:42:43):
to have the number of African Americans losing their lives
and we have a dysfunctional mayor who cannot put a
plan together. And part of that plan is supporting the
police department in a way that they understand they're supported.
Brian Thomas. It's not about just bringing your police chief,
who's a great police chief, Chief Fiji, bringing her forward

(01:43:05):
and saying, hey, here's what crime looks like across the city.
Is going to your chief and saying, I've got your back.

Speaker 5 (01:43:11):
Chief.

Speaker 7 (01:43:12):
Here's what I want you to do. Get me the
police in the downtown, give me a presence of force
so that everybody understands we're not going to tolerate it.
And if they can't do it, the state of Ohio
is obligated, in my opinion, to do it. I want
to say something before we go, because I know the
time will get away. My heart goes out to the
Texas families off their lives. You know, you and I

(01:43:35):
have kids. Anybody that has a child right has sent
their child away to camp. They've got their families that
are listening to us, and their kids are at camp
right now. These are the things that just tear your
heart out. You know, eight ninety ten year olds who
are drowned, and the weather pattern, my understanding, change so dramatically.
So there's nobody there quote at fault, but the reality

(01:43:58):
of it is it's a try that is still going
on right now, and I hope the federal government, which
I'm sure they will, will intervene, do whatever they can
do to support Texas. But I've never seen anything like
this in my lifetime where I've seen so many young
people lose their lives to some type of catastrophic tropic
wintery weather event, and so have I just been watching

(01:44:22):
it in my heart. Brian has just been going out
for those families that just where they have not found
the bodies of these young people as they're searching for them.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
It is so tragic, and it just like, I don't know,
I've watched some of the videos on that Christopher and
that water just came out of nowhere. When you see
how quickly the riverbanks rose and they just they were overwhelmed, inundated,
And the idea that these alerts went out in the
middle of the night, I mean, you know, there's only
so much you can do. If you don't have your

(01:44:53):
cell phone on and you're not in a place to
get an alert, you're going to be a victim of
this flood. So yeah, it's just awful, It really really is.

Speaker 1 (01:45:01):
It's really really really awful.

Speaker 7 (01:45:03):
My heart just goes out to those families. And I
also want to say, and I know these these are
not these are disconnected topics. But you know, there's a
lot of chatter about tariffs. I don't think I've ever
spoken about them, but just to say, here's my bottom line,
I'm really tired of the United States getting ripped off.

(01:45:23):
That's really where I am. And I don't mind the
short term pain for the long term gain at at
at at some point, we've got to reign in these countries,
in my opinion, and I don't and I'm not smart
enough to know which countries we need to rein in.
China is obviously one of them. But the reality of
it is, we have got to set a standard here

(01:45:45):
and it's not gonna be easy to do. So I'm
an I'm appreciative that the White House that President Trump
is willing to stand up to some of these countries
and say to them, listen, if if we bring our
cars to your country, and you're gonna are just a
thirty five percent fee, I'm interchanging the word fee and
terror for me to bring those goods into your country,

(01:46:07):
you bring yours in them. I'm not going to charge
you anything that just doesn't seem fair to me. And
so whatever that fair ground is, there's a lot of
smarter people than me who want to deal with you know,
our trade deficit. But I just want to say publicly,
I think the White House and the President they're on
the right track here, and this week we're going to
see things coming to a head. I mean, the reason

(01:46:28):
I'm bringing it up is the tear of deadlines are here.
I think we're going to see things coming to a head.
And I want to be publicans say hey, listen, this
is a good thing. We might have a short term blips.
You know what I do for a living in the
in the stock market. We've got to be as Americans
thinking longer term, not just what's happening on a daily

(01:46:49):
basis with our portfolios. There's a bigger picture here when
we're in this global economy, and we've had globalists be
the President's for a long time, right, who really decimated
the middle class, decimated our manufacturing across our country. And
you can just drive through through the state of Ohio
and see those manufacturing plants that have been closed. Well,

(01:47:10):
where do you think those jobs went? Those jobs went
to Mexico, those jobs went to China. And you have
a president that's saying, listen, I want to build a
middle class in the United States, not in India. I
want to build a middle class in the United States,
not in China. I think that's the right position for
the right house. Now what is the right calibration? Not

(01:47:30):
smart enough to know that, but big picture, I think
he's on the right track.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Yeah, I share your conclusions in that regard. Christopher Smithman,
it's always a pleasure getting you on the program every Monday.
I'll look forward to next Monday, another brother smith have
a great week. Then you know what, folks, I bet
proof is in the pudding. I would never steer you
in the wrong direction and check you in often for
what's developing.

Speaker 1 (01:47:52):
This is just developing out of the Middle East now,
right now, it's developing. Fifty five krc the talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
It's AATO five at fifty five KRCV talk station. And
hope you're having a decent Monday. I hope you had
a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Of course, lots of prayers going
out for the folks dealing with the devastating flooding in Texas.
Just overwhelming video I just I just keeps flashing through
my mind seeing some of the craziness going on and
the overwhelming volume of water that just seemed to show

(01:48:25):
up in a moment's time. So I feel very confident.
I didn't look at Matthew twenty five Ministry's website, but
you want your contribution to go one hundred percent to
those in need, it will be the best place to
donate some money. All the money goes to those folks
in need, and Matthew twenty five usually stepping up to
the plate really quickly in the aftermath of these natural disasters.

(01:48:47):
So I presume that that is the case. This morning,
UH five on three seven eight hundred eighty two to
three talk Go with Tom five fifty on at and
T phones if you have a comment, love to hear
from you. But continuing a theme since started with Kenkober
FLP President at seven oh five on they just the
outrageous amount of violence going on the city of Cincinnati,
Lots and lots of shootings. Of course, the roving gangs

(01:49:09):
of teenagers ignoring curfew, the failure of the judges and
the magistrates that actually enforce curfew when they are picked
up in violation of curfew, makes the cops not want
to do their job. Of course, A depressing report from
Ken on the morale level with the CINCINNT Police Department.
A lot of people planning on quitting the job. And
when you hear that, Ken Reports, a twenty year veteran

(01:49:32):
police officer, said he has never ever seen things as
bad as they are right now in terms of the violence.
You know, you have a real problem on your hands.
And I would imagine given that police aren't inclined to
do their job and arrest people safe for curfew violations
because it's an exercise in futility, leaving them with hours
of paperwork and apparently no resulting prosecutions. Word of course,

(01:49:56):
among the young people's gotten out about that they don't
have to worry about curfew and you know, damn it,
where are the parents and all this? But Vicki nut
Are apparently a resident of the city of Cincinnati, and
Corey Bowman reposted her post from Facebook and she sums
it up nicely. She obviously is well connected with what's
going on here. And Vicky, I appreciate you going out
on a limon saying what you are thinking about and

(01:50:17):
what you're asking for from the elected officials. Dear Mayor,
I have to have pur of all members of city Council.
She writes, I'm writing you in someone who's lived in
downtown CINCINNAI for almost five years and has a family
legacy in Cincinnati since the mid eighteen hundreds. My family
and I have probably supported the city, believing its future
by opening multiple businesses downtown, but are growing increasingly discouraged

(01:50:37):
by the direction of the city is heading. What used
to be a vibrant in Liverpool City now feels unsafe,
poorly managed, and weighed down by misplaced priorities. The over
one majority of citizens wants the same basic things, and
this is something Christopher agreed with safety, order and clean
functional city. I'm not asking for perfection. We're asking to
do the job you're elected to do. The job is

(01:50:59):
not to pander to fringe ideological movements. It's a lead
and keep us safe. It's not that complicated. Start with
law and order, she writes. The banks and OTR, which
should be a showcase for our city, has become chaotic.
What should be welcoming destination for tourists, families, and professionals
is being overrun by crime, aggressive behavior, in an atmosphere
that drives good people away. Large groups loiter with no

(01:51:20):
regard for the public, fights breakout, cars motorcycles recklessly race
through the streets at all hours, pandering non stop and aggressive.
People feel unsafe and they feel they're either avoiding the
area or leaving the city altogether. Banks Area, Reds Bengals,
J Brady Music Center, Heritage Bank Center, Smell Park, and
many of our best bars and restaurants. It should be

(01:51:41):
a completely safe zone with a strong, visible and constant
police presidence. Crime and homelessness should not be tolerated here,
not because we lack compassion, because the city is set,
because it's the city's front porch and we should treat
it that way. OTR includes our shopping and dining destinations,
Arts District, FCC, Cincinnati Family Market, and Environment residential Area.

(01:52:02):
What used to happen at night, shootings, stabbings and assaults
are now commonplace in the middle of the day time.
Our once beautiful Piot Park front ports of the city
hall overrun with the homeless who use the benches for beds,
water fountains for bathing, and the connect Cincinnati alleys for
garbage picking, restrooms and drug transactions. Ninth Street Historic residential

(01:52:25):
District that includes a school in several churches is a
dangerous racetrack to ice seventy five at all hours of
the day and night. Fountain District has now become like
the Wild West, where shootings and assaults cur almost daily.
We must embrace our police officers and let them do
their jobs. They should not feel uncuffed by policies, public scrutiny,
or lack of institutional support. Officers need to be empowered

(01:52:47):
to enforce the law and hold criminals accountable, whether it's
petty crime or violent offenses. At the same time, we
must begin to incentivize the next generation to join law enforcement.
We continued treating police officers like a problem instead of
part of the solution, we will soon face a staffing
crisis that no amount of policy can fix. Too often

(01:53:08):
we're being held back by regulation, red tape, and hesitation
to act. Across the river in northern Kentucky coming to
the Newport are thriving building out there in riverfronts, adding restaurants, bars, housing,
and more. Meanwhile, Cincinnati sits paralyzed. We should have floating bars, docks,
and waterfront restaurants on the Ohio River. Our greatest natural
asset is sitting under utilized, While underutilized, while investment gets

(01:53:29):
smothered in permitting delays and outdated zoning laws. Sounds like
Corey Bowman, doesn't it. We need to remove unnecessary barriers
to progress and courage entrepreneurs, embrace creativity, make it easy
and affordable to build our businesses. Here Cincinnati is worth
fighting for, but it needs leadership. Real leadership, the kind
of puts public safety before political optics, not the kind

(01:53:52):
of prioritize the common sense. The kind of prioritizes common
sense over ideology, the kind that does not serve a
nod for a profit. Do the city's job to keep
our streets clean and safe, and taxing us a special
assessment for these services. We have the talent, we have
the location, we have the people. Now we need the
courage to act. Cincinnati deserves more. Speaking for frustrated but

(01:54:17):
hopeful downtown residents and business owners. Again, props of Vicky
Nutter and appreciate Corey Bowman reposting it because they don't
know that. I'm not friends with Vicky, so I wouldn't
have seen this. Have some Cory's repost. Let's get over
to the phone. It's got a couple of callers online.
We'll start with patriot. Jeff, Jeff, welcome back, my friend.
It's always good hearing from you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:36):
Good morning, Brian. You and Joe are true patriots.

Speaker 2 (01:54:40):
Buddy, appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (01:54:41):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
What's going on in your world? What's on your mind today,
my friend?

Speaker 8 (01:54:44):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:54:47):
It's so frustrating when we see us in common sense
and how we were raised. They seem to anyone.

Speaker 21 (01:55:00):
That seems to be in the political spectrum and that,
you know, if it's everybody here and both to northern
Kentucky and Cincinnati, it seems like they've forgotten the difference
between the carrot and the stick.

Speaker 3 (01:55:18):
They seem to think that if we just keep giving
them the carrot, or we get more carrots, or we
bigger carrots, they'll they'll be okay, everybody will work out.
We'll all see Kumbai ya and whatever. And you and
I understand that humans aren't like that. I mean, we
we actually thrive on you know, hardness and pushing ourselves

(01:55:46):
to be better. And yet if you take all the
roadblocks away, especially when you're acting negatively towards the community,
then I don't even understand why people even think it's
going to get better.

Speaker 2 (01:56:01):
Yeah, it's it's a legitimate point you're making, Jeff, I
have to acknowledge that, or want to acknowledge that. Life
is not an easy thing. You know, was it the
old John Winning quote quote? Life is hard. It's harder
if you're stupid. The government seems to suggest, and I
regularly suggests, at least folks on largely the left hand
side of the political ledger, that they can eliminate these

(01:56:21):
speed bumps in life, that they can make everything easy
and smooth the path and avoid all confrontations that you
might encounter. I mean, when you were commenting about programs,
you're like paying people to not commit crime. That's a
legitimate thing. You know. Wait a second, really, no, I
didn't commit crime because I was afraid of punishment. You know,
from starting when I was a little kid my parents,

(01:56:43):
to the criminal justice system, being held accountable, spending time
in jail. There's a lot of reasons why I wouldn't
want to engage in criminal activity. Plus there's that whole
thing of pesky morals and ethics that my parents raised
me with. So oh, you know there's a thought as well.
I don't have the answer to the societal breakdown. I
think largely it's a result of the familial breakdown and

(01:57:04):
the lack of you know, solid nuclear families providing children
with guidance morals and ethics and maybe even religious.

Speaker 8 (01:57:10):
Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:57:12):
I mean if you think about it, uh, you know,
especially when you're an officer, when you're police, you know,
you're it says right there on the cruisers, you know,
serve and protect. I mean, these are people that are
willing to run towards the sound of violence, to to
step in front of the civilians to protect them. And

(01:57:36):
yet we act like they're the enemy. And I'm just
or I should say, the new culture is that they're
and somehow negative, and yet they work so hard to
help us and and protect us, and and and even

(01:57:57):
I'm never well, I mean I understand. And there are cases,
you know, very few in the world where the police
officers do get a little heavy handed. Every police officer
I've ever met never wants to be violent, never wants
to pull their weapon. That they would love for every

(01:58:19):
single person to just do what they ask them to
do and they and everything would de escalate. But for
some reason, now it seems like every walk of life,
our entertainment, everything paints the police as this negative force. Well,
I've never understood that from a young age.

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
Always remember that just because that is widely reported that
people's general attitude is that the police are bad and
need to be re envisioned or remade or gotten rid
of completely. That is the minority voice. That's why I
made a specific point of asking Christopher Smithman, who literally
lives in the Cincinnati and spends a lot of time
talking with folks within the various communities. No, the vast
majority of us actually want law and order. It's the

(01:59:02):
silent majority out there that apparently don't have the social
media weight to control the narrative, a narrative which is
overwhelmed by the far left wing of the Democrat Party,
which is all about defund police, Black Lives matter kind
of issues, and Antifa. Those are the minority. Yet they're
the loudest, squeakiest wheels in the room, and they have
a way of actually getting their non governmental organizations funded

(01:59:24):
by crazy left wing administrations like I have to have
par Ball and the members of Cincinnai City Council. That's
where they're getting their push, that's where they're getting their directive.
I mean, you can't draw or come up with any
other conclusion than that, because the vast majority of us
want law and order eight seventeen fifty five kres through
the talk stationan marine you are in next, you don't

(01:59:45):
mind holding for a moment, Looking forward to having you
on the program. And a recommendation to get in touch
with Zimmer Heating and Cooling. They've been making Cincinnati area
homes safe, efficient and comfortable for a coming up on

Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 20 (02:01:01):
Hi, good morning, Brian. Thanks taking my call. I wanted
to chime in on the information about the crime in
the city. I like to go there once in a
while to visit, and last time I was there a
little over a month ago. The I like to walk
the bridges, so as I was walking them, a person
on a bike came toward me and said you bet
or not? He said you better turn around. I wouldn't

(02:01:22):
recommend going that way. There's a guy with a machete
wielding it who waited, just waiting for someone to attack,
and he goes. I'm thankful I was on my bike
because I was able to get away. So anyway, so
I've been hearing more and more about all of this
on your program. And my daughter's getting married in a
few months this summer. So we sent out a list

(02:01:43):
in the thank you, a list of hotels to stay
at in the invitation. Well, now we're getting calls from
people out of town saying that they are hearing about
the crime in Cincinnati. Can we send them a list
of hotels outside of this city and so that they
can stay there and feel safe. So it's acting the
business this big time, and it's not locally that people

(02:02:03):
are hearing about this. It's making news and other states.
It's unbelievable. But this mayor has got to be replaced.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:02:12):
I agree. You know, I'm a fan of Corey Bowman.
He's not a perfectly polished, you know, one hundred percent
across the board guaranteed low candidate, but he's certainly a
refreshing alternative to Mayor. I have to have purvol who
thinks he can just ignore this problem. But no, you're right,
word's gotten out. I mean we all know about it locally.
I mean even our local news outlets will report when

(02:02:32):
when people get shot. And I woke up this morning
every single story in my local local news involve these
shootings that happened over the past three days. So you
can't cover it up.

Speaker 20 (02:02:42):
It's something.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
Yeah, and statistically speaking, you make the numbers, and of
course national news outlets reported like, oh my god, Citio,
Cincinnatia has a twenty seven percent uptick in violent crime,
and like, oh my god, really, yeah that's true.

Speaker 20 (02:02:54):
Yeah, it's getting a reputation. Another thing too, I can't
let it go on. The weather engineering. Just one thing
that I recommend people if they're trying to convince someone
of this. There's a YouTube video called the Dimming and
it goes into detail. It's got US Air Force brigadier
generals discussing all the mechanisms for the weather modification, the

(02:03:16):
keem trails and everything, and the patents that they've been
that are in place since eighteen eighty in regards to
weather modification.

Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
Yeah, and of course you're marketing back to the story
that I mentioned this morning. After having seen this, and again,
I'm a fence sitter. I have always denied the idea
that kemtrails existed, but I actually witnessed something that you
know pretty damn well, but describes them. When we were
over in Indiana last weekend, it was a high altitude
jet going back and forth in an actual pattern, back

(02:03:46):
and forth with the we'll call it keem trail on
and then a noticeable absence of it for a period
of time and then it came back on again. It
was like, you know, a Morris Code kind of effect
with on dash space dash space and then a turn
and a loop back making a pattern back and forth.
So it's like, no, they can't be on final approach

(02:04:08):
to the airport in Indianapolis because why would they be
doing that back and forth with this pattern going on.
So my kids immediately, Yeah, they believe in chemtrails and
they believe that, you know, aluminum or something being dumped
on crops. Regardless of what they believe, I'm like, wow,
this is the first time I've ever seen it. And
then you couple that with Marjorie Taylor green House US
House Representative and are introducing federal legislation over the weekend

(02:04:32):
to outlaw this, coupled with the built in Florida with
this Santus who actually came out and talked about it.
Their legislative branch voted and in saying we're banning this
from happening in Florida. And I trust Ron de Santas, right,
And why would he go out and say this is
happening and it's a thing, and I'm signing this ban
into law unless it was really going on. Right.

Speaker 20 (02:04:54):
Yes, he's criminalized the atmospherical engineering and weather modification. Yeah,
speak fifty six.

Speaker 22 (02:05:01):
Yeah, I said, believable.

Speaker 5 (02:05:02):
What's going on?

Speaker 20 (02:05:03):
And I hope other states adapt that as well. But
right now we have some major things going on, and awahu,
there's a burner fire out of control, and then there's
flooding in North Carolina Pinehurst. All this is happening right now.
And as London Johnson said, he who controls the weather
controls the world. And I think that, you know, it's
a possibility that there's some deeper meaning to what's going

(02:05:25):
on here.

Speaker 2 (02:05:26):
Possible. Again, I'm a cynic in this skeptic, but I
remained that way all the times, constantly jaded and cynical,
waiting for real information to come in. But again, when
you look at respectable elected officials with information at their disposal, obviously,
these two folks, Taylor Green and Ron De Santis were
convinced that this is actually a problem. So whether or

(02:05:47):
not you believe in it or not, people in responsible
positions who have an opportunity to view the evidence and
decide whether or not they want to go on record
as believing in it or not have actually gone on
the record saying that yeah, it's happening, allright. I always
appreciate you and what you do and all the texts
and information you provide with me each and every week.
It means a lot to me. Keep me on the

Christina Hall. Coming out from next se segment, got some
programs for caregivers of veterans enrolled in the VA Healthcare
is going to talk about the programs that are there
and what's what they're all about and the kind of
services they can provide to you. My veteran friends appreciate

(02:08:26):
what the VA does for each and every day. Going
back to the violence inherent in the system, well, local
stories all filled with it. We start from this morning,
one thirty in the morning, Hutchins Avenue and Reading Road
in Avondale. A man was killed in a shooting. So
beyond confirming that a man was killed, it remains unclear
whether the police have a suspect. Again, that one just
broke this morning as we were talking about, well, violence

(02:08:48):
in downtown Cincinnati. Oh look, more violence in downtown Cincinnati
West End. Sunday morning shooting injured two people happened to
the seven hundred block at Chestnut Street two thirty in
the morning. According to Lieutenant Cunningham of the Cincinni Police Department,
a sixteen year old boy was shot and taken a
UC Medical Center with serious injuries, and a little bit later,

(02:09:10):
a second victim, a fifteen year old boy, called from
the eleven hund of block of Cedar Avenue, saying he
had been shot on chess Nut Street as well taking
the Children's Hospital for treatment non life threatening injuries. In
that particular case, Local news CPOs Grace Hamilton reporting thank you, Grace.
Apparently two cars are being investigated at the scene that
she witnessed, a car that had crashed into a telephone

(02:09:33):
poll on Lynn Street, another car found on Chestnut Street.
Bullet holes located in the side of the Lincoln Recreation
Center on Lynn Street. Officers couldn't provide a description of
the suspect. No additional information available on that dull look.
Three people hospitalized after shooting near the Bank's Saturday morning,
according again Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham, busy MANNY as these days,

(02:09:55):
shooting happened around one thirty in the morning near Walnut
Street between sixth and ninth Street. Initially, report of the
incident began as a fight that led to shots being fired.
Victims seventeen year old girl and a nineteen year old
man and a twenty year old male with then a
cunning against that All three victims suffered non life threatening injuries.

(02:10:15):
Despite this nearby shooting, Fox nineteen reporting Thanks Queen Shetty,
got City Chapter FOP President Can Cobra says the violence
in the area of the Banks has dropped significantly. He
was on this morning complaining about the violence that's out there.
He said, they've stayed out of the Banks, which has
been a fantastic part for those bar owners down there
for the night life down there. Has been a significant change,

(02:10:37):
attributes the new curfew put into place. No one under
twenty one is allowed of the Banks area between ten
pm and two am on Friday and Saturday. However, if
you do pick up someone for violating the curfew, apparently
nothing is done about it, which is what Ken pointed
out this morning. Magistrates just sort of on their own
decision making authority throwing out charges against kids who've been

(02:11:00):
picked up for violating curview and being involved in criminal
activity there we go. Saturday night, Westwood Police investigate an
incident believe to involve shots fired. Sergeant Anthony Mitchell since
a police department speaking with Fox nineteen said the officers
called a twenty nine hundred block Western Northern Boulevard about
ten thirty pm for a person believed to be having
a mental health episode. Sergeant Mitchell said during that time,

(02:11:24):
officers heard and saw what was believed to be shots
fired at them. Said this prompted the SWAT team to
be called. No one was injured. Please still investigating the incident.
Officers have not stated if they have arrested anyone, at
least as of the time of the reporting. Over to
Winton Hills Yes Shooting to report three people have been

(02:11:47):
taken to the hospital after shooting in Winton Hills Saturday night.
Pleae dispatch the Dutch Colony Drive about ten pm Saturday evening,
police said. Dispatchers say three people were injured in the
shooting and were all taken to the hospital. No additional
details available again Fox nineteen reporting on that and then
it was the Red, White and Blue Ash event. Multiple

(02:12:08):
people arrested. Fortunately, Blue Ash officers sustain a burn injury
happened Friday night after four hundred what are described as
unaccompanied youth set off fireworks multiple times during the Mad
Treat Red White and Blue Ash fourth of July event
at Summit Park, causing panic intentionally, they say. Police report
that an officer had burned injury to his leg, been

(02:12:29):
treated and release from the hospital, thankfully. One juvenile taken
into custody in connection with the incident is facing a
charge of assault on a police officer. Police did not
describe other arrests that were made Friday night. Blue Police
Chief Roger Pullman said, we understand this was a scary
situation for many, and we hear you. It was an
unfolding situation, and our officers work quickly to apprehend the

(02:12:52):
individuals involved, and we, as we do after every event,
will review security protocols to ensure the safety and well
being of attendees and our officers. And there's video of
this going around. It's just crazy, absolutely crazy. There were
thousands of people there, so you got this unruly pack
of four hundred unaccompanied youth just going at each other
with fireworks, scaring that crap out of everyone there. And

(02:13:15):
you know, let's face it, stating the obvious that could
have resulted in some serious injuries. Eight thirty five, Right now,

I always enjoy talking to folks helping out the American veteran.
And I really praised the work that the Cincinnati VA

(02:14:02):
has done and improvements they have made over the years
trying to do their best for the American veteran. We
hear from Todd Sledge all the time, and today we
get the benefit of having Christina Hall from the Cincinnti
VIA at a call to talk with us this morning
about some programs that are available for caregivers of veterans
enrolled in VA healthcare. Christina, welcome, to the program. Thanks
for coming on.

Speaker 22 (02:14:24):
Hi, thank you very much, nice to be here, and.

Speaker 2 (02:14:26):
Thanks for the work that you do on behalf of
the American veterans. Got a lot of them in my
listening audience, and I do whatever I can to help
spread the word about the benefits that are out there
for veterans. I was like to say, this is healthcare
that you earned. You didn't get paid as much because
they get the DD two FOURT discharge. You're going to
get some great healthcare. Tell my listeners about the programs

(02:14:46):
you have here for caregivers of veterans.

Speaker 22 (02:14:50):
Yeah, so we have a very robust program for caregivers.
We have two programs that fall underneath caregiver support. One
is our general program that's really the core of the
backbone of our program. We provide skills training, self care
and stress management strategies, peer support, coaching, all sorts of
different social gatherings, and just things to kind of help

(02:15:15):
the caregivers have a relief, have a respite, and also
support their own mental health. And then we also have
a comprehensive program and in that program, if the veteran qualifies,
they are able to receive a financial stipend to help
offset caregiving costs, and they get wellness visits and access
to enhance rescite services and insurance for their caregiver if

(02:15:36):
they're not all ready insured.

Speaker 2 (02:15:38):
All right, So both programs are designed to help the
actual caregiver themselves. But the second one sounds like that's
an opportunity for the twenty four to seven you know,
family member caregiver to get a relief very much.

Speaker 22 (02:15:52):
So yeah, and you know, the goal really is to
try to help keep a vetering in their home as
long as possible if that's their goal, and so the
and as the program really helped with that. So rest
it can look like home health care where someone comes
in and helps out the caregiver. It can look like
adult day health where maybe a veteran wants to go
to a program during the day to get out of
the house of bit and engage with others. And it

(02:16:13):
also can be a short term stay. And maybe our
contracted nursing home, our nursing home at the VA, say,
if the caregiver has a surgery or a trip that
they need to go on and they're not able to
have you know, full time care for their veteran, they
may be eligible to access some of those services.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
All right, Now, do you find in terms of the
general program, and again this is these are programs that
are offered to the caregivers themselves, as distinct from the
available services for the veteran. But do you see any
particular type of a service you offer through the general
program as being like the most widely used or the
most popular, or something that you know, people are gravitating

(02:16:49):
towards in a larger percentage.

Speaker 22 (02:16:52):
Yes, And actually it's been interesting because everyone really thinks
at the VA, you know, Okay, everything is geared towards
the veterans, so it has been a little difficult to
get the word out. Yeah, we have services for caregivers
as well, and so I think some of the ones
that people really have really taken to. We have a
program going on with Mustang Journey, which is a program
out in Goshen, Ohio or yeah, Wilds. Yeah, and so

(02:17:16):
we've organized I think we've been there six times so far.
We've had trips out there where it's just been the caregiver,
if they'd like a little bit arrested, and then we've
also set up where they can bring the veteran that
they care for. Is the veterans well enough to go,
And that's been awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:17:30):
That is not even really Yeah, I had the Mustang
Journey people in my program, all going back a couple
of months or so. But that what a cool organization.

Speaker 22 (02:17:39):
Oh they're awesome. Yeah, And Troy Day is a veteran
himself and so has a passion for working with our folks.
So that's been wonderful. Some caregivers who haven't participated a
lot before, when they saw that post, they reached out. So, oh, yeah,
I'd really love to do that. Yeah, probably has been
our most popular, but we also have you know, I
would say a lot of veterans in our program have

(02:18:00):
dementia or parkinson or als, and so some of the
more popular programming pieces are when we offer conditioned specific
workshops and talks so that the caregiver can feel empowered
to understand the condition, to know how to work with
it within their veteran and you know, learn some tips
and tools and connect with other caregivers that are taking
care of veterans that have similar issues.

Speaker 2 (02:18:20):
Yeah, and we're learning so much more and more about
how to properly cope with and treat someone who's struggling
with dementia. It isn't the old days of arguing with
them about you know, no it's not. No, there isn't
a burd ness living in your bed. No, no, no,
it's you. Really, there's no way to overcome what is
in their minds. You just kind of have to learn

(02:18:40):
to roll with it, which I thought was an unusual
way of coping with it. But yeah, you're not causing
them cognitive distress by arguing with them when they have
this firmly convinced, you know, belief in their mind, as
crazy as it is. You just got to learn to
kind of roll with it and you know, walk them
through the challenge that's presented you. So that that's something
that I suppose as caregivers need to learn and it

(02:19:01):
can be very frustrating, knowing what my father went through,
which you know, up to his death, and it's just
it's the most nefarious disease I think that's out there.
So I'm glad you have a program to help caregivers
cope with that and the challenges that they face. We're
going to continue with Christina and we're going to talk
about some of the common conditions that veterans struggle with.

(02:19:21):
Whose caregivers are enrolled with with the program and activities
and events, as well as some upcoming events that we
want to talk about. We'll be back right after these
brief words.

mention that eighty seven for the high partly clided with
a slight chance of rain overy night, seventy the low
eighty six the high tomorrow again very humid and a
possible afternoon storm. Partly cloudy overnight again muggy and seventy

he sounds like I'm fifty five KRCD talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:20:43):
Hey forty eight if thinking about KRCD talk station Bright
Thomas with Christina Hall from the Cincinnativa talking about the
programs that they have at the VIA for those who
are caregivers for veterans. So moving away from veteran healthcare,
we need to take care of those who are providing
in home care for our veterans. And you mentioned like,
for example, how to cope with and deal with veterans

(02:21:05):
are struggling with Alzheimer's. But what are the some of
the more common conditions that veterans have whose caregivers are
enrolled in your various programs.

Speaker 22 (02:21:14):
I would say a lot of other veterans are struggling
with Parkinson's. We've seen an uptick in those conditions. Als,
traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorders, final cord injury,
vision impairment, multiple sclerosis. So a number of conditions that
really pop up that those are some of the more
common and the caregiver doesn't necessarily have to be a

(02:21:36):
lot of times you think of the spouse as a caregiver,
but we have caregivers in the program who are children,
as veterrends who are siblings, some in our general program
who are neighbors, are people that kind of help out
the veterrend and take them to appointments and things like that.
So there's a broad definition of caregiver. It's really someone
who's involved in that veteran's life and helping them be
able to live independently.

Speaker 2 (02:21:56):
And God bless each and every one of you if
you're in that role, it's just it's a it's a
beautiful thing you're doing for the for the veteran's That
sounds to me like maybe some of the training might
involve physical therapy.

Speaker 22 (02:22:10):
Yeah, we work a lot with physical therapy. We also
have a program that is called Safe Patient Handling and Mobility,
so they work with the caregivers to teach them, you know,
the veteran falls. What are the steps is something that
you can handle if you're a very tiny spouse, you know,
trying to lift a larger veteran, you may need to
call nine one one as opposed to try to lift.
But then they also talk about different devices and supports

(02:22:31):
that can help, and then occupational therapy pops in to
see if there's any adaptive devices or ramps, or there's
grants to apply for to get improvements made to your home.
So we coordinate with those programs as.

Speaker 2 (02:22:44):
Well well, smoothing out all the challenges folks face.

Speaker 5 (02:22:48):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:22:48):
But in terms of what kind of activities or events
does the Caregivers Support Program offer.

Speaker 22 (02:22:56):
Yeah, so we do. Social support is a piece of it.
So we just had a Caregiver summit. We coordinated with
the DAV a couple of weeks ago and had a
big event and we talked about the importance of connection
and making sure that caregivers are connected to other people
because it can be kind of isolating if your identity
is that of a caregiver and your focus is just

(02:23:18):
taking care of someone else, you can lose track of
taking care of you. So lots of work around that.
We have social hours at least once a month where
folks can come and connect with other caregivers. We also
have a lot of online support so if you can't
leave the home. Say you don't have care for your veteran,
but you really want to connect, you can join virtually

(02:23:38):
or over the telephone. We have a support group every
other week. We have different workshops and classes. We have
an online workshop coming up at the end of July
that talks about the foundations of caregiving as well as
self care and stress management. And the big event that
we're working towards is in November. November is actually National
Family Caregiver Months, so nationally we support caregivers throughout that month.

(02:23:59):
So we're going to be having all sorts of events,
like a self care fare where folks can come in
and learn about aromatherapy and yoga and taichi and all
that good stuff that can help them relieve their stress
when they have.

Speaker 5 (02:24:10):
A few moments.

Speaker 2 (02:24:11):
Now, I'm glad to provide the social support and these
other outlets for the stress that they obviously face. I
think it's unless you've lived through it and seen it,
it's a stress that I think most people just don't
fully appreciate. It's like, oh, well, they're taking care of
a love one big deal, but now there's a whole
lot more that goes on beyond that, so the July workshop,
the November events, where can my listening audience get the

(02:24:33):
information to hook up with these various programs.

Speaker 22 (02:24:37):
We have a local hotline that they can call. You
can inquire about any questions you have if you're eligible,
and that's five one three four seven five six three
six six. And we also have a caregiver a national
caregiver website that's wonderful and it does have links to
our local and that's just www dotcaregiver dot.

Speaker 17 (02:24:56):
Va dot gov.

Speaker 2 (02:24:58):
Caregiver dot va gov. All right, and again the number
five one three four seven, five sixty three sixty six
or caregiver dot va dot gov. So get in touch
with that, take advantage of these wonderful opportunities. Make you
feel better personally. Obviously, learn skill sets to help you
deal with the veteran you're caring for. Christine, I can't

(02:25:19):
thank you enough for doing what you're doing at the
Cincinntiva and for taking care of my veterans as well
as the caregivers are helping out the veterans each and
every day. It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 22 (02:25:28):
Absolutely my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (02:25:30):
Well, you take care and I'm always here for you
if you want to let people know more about this information,
but check out the July workshop and the November workshop.
Get involved and improve the care you're providing, but also
improve yourself at the same time. That's what the Cincinniva
is all about. And veterans take advantage you earn the benefits.
I recommend enrolling. We hear from our various Cincinnati Veterans

(02:25:53):
Service offices on this program all the time. Claremont County
Veterans Service Commission, Hamilton County Veteran Service Commiss Warren County.
Every county's got one and they are great about helping
you secure the benefits that you've earned as a consequence
of your service. So D two to fourteen discharge pretty
much the only hurdle you've got and some paperwork. So
if you can't figure it out, it's since any dot VA,

(02:26:14):
dot gov. Just get in touch with the local veteran
service community. They will help you in immeasurable ways. Great
show this morning, sad topics subject matters Ken Cober of
FLP President and the violence that's going on and the
problem with since a police apartment faces plus the morale
man it is not Ken did not paint a pretty

(02:26:36):
picture and Christopher Smithman on the same topic, and of
course even people out in the Greater Cincinnati community saying, listen,
where are our elected officials dealing with this violence trend?
Why are they so damned quiet about it? Why don't they,
you know, express out loud direct support for the officers
and try to come up with a solution to the

(02:26:56):
problem that we're facing, an ever growing problem. A little
disheartening to find out that the justice system may be
the failure in this. And I'm not talking about the
police wing of the justice system. I'm talking about the
judicial You can have a prosecutor that wants to prosecute
a kid for a curfew violation, but if you have
a magistrate that doesn't want to do that and chuck

(02:27:16):
the case out, I guess it's a pointless gesture then
even going after them in the first place. And when
you have a counsel and a mayor who do not
express out loud support for the police, I think we
can all draw our conclusions as to how they feel
about the police. Generally speaking. Bright Bart inside scoop the
