But I'm not gonna go look it up.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Because I find it interesting that he takes he thinks,
he tells us how great blue Taco is. And I

but I don't know if there was.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
One in Colorado, and that interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Not gonna do it.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I mean, don't don't think that I'm playing lawyer here
or anything, but I listened to what you said. There's
a big gaping hole in what you said. This lawyer
that I used to work for had on his pitney
bows you know, postage machine, uh, the regular postage.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
But there was some.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Saying, and it was something about society and how we
you know, we treat guilty people or we treat you know,
accused people or something. I forget what it was. I
wish I could remember what it was, because it fits
in with another phrase that I've heard, which is a
(03:02):
society reveals its soul in how it protects the innocent,
which is what made me think about what this law
used to having us postage meter. But something along that line.
Society reveals its soul in how we protect the innocent.
Have you been watching a story about Cincinnati. It's several
days old. It's one of these stories that has been
(03:24):
sitting in my pos for.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
A while, and I've kind of let it just percolate.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Because it just seems I kept waiting for somebody in
the cabal to come out and say this is wrong
and this is racist, and a few people have, but
the people who have not, or the people who've actually
said the opposite, really does tell us a lot about
(03:53):
how this darkness, this good versus evil battle is going
on in this country.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Confused, Michael, We've already started. We've already talked about the
Sydney Sweeney jeans ad.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Oh, well, then what am I going to do for
the next hour? I'm totally lost. Now we talk about
waffles or blue tacos. There's blue oyster. There's a blue
oyster restaurant down by us. Is that the same thing
blue oysters tacos?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Well, on the weekend of July twenty five, Cincinnati, I've
been to Cincinnati. Yeah, okay, been to Cincinnati, BFD, right,
But Cincinnati over the weekend showed us that when mob's
roam free, and then those that we elect to govern
(04:45):
to actually, you know, promulgate rules for our safety and
force our laws, you know, to serve and protect to site.
You know a lot of police department mottoes. They look away,
they turn away, and they pretend it doesn't happen. Justice
(05:06):
collapses now in a nation where the rule of law
is the foundational principle, well, one of the foundations. We
have lots of foundations, but the rule of law is
at least one side of the House, Cincinnati's response to
(05:28):
a vicious assault. There was a racial assault. I think
gives us a really chilling preview of what happens when
political cowardice, political correctness, evil all comes together in moral bankruptcy.
(05:48):
If if you want to think this sounds like some
right winging evangelical nut job, I really just don't care.
But I think the country, if anything's going to destroy
the country, there are all of these incidents, and there
(06:10):
are all these movements, and they're all there are all
these laws, but everything is under the canopy of moral bankruptcy.
The country is to a certain degree. I know it's
a generalization, because I do know. This morning I was
(06:30):
going to talk about good versus evil, but in a
different context. And as I was thinking about it driving in,
I thought, but I need to be careful here, because
there are a lot of really good people desperately, vigorously
(06:53):
trying to fight back this veil of evil that is
encompassing the country. And I don't know why, but Charlie
Kirk came to mind turning point. USA, here's a kid
I don't think. I don't think Charlie has a college
degree or anything who has put together.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Maybe he does.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
I just don't know who has put together an amazing
group of young people who think like we do, who
are determined to try to turn the country around. So
it's not everywhere, but these stories like Cincinnati drown those
stories out. Let's start with the facts of what happened
(07:34):
in Cincinnati. It was closing night of the Cincinnati Downtown
Jazz Festival. A white male tourist and a white single
mother were brutally attacked by a black mob. It was
this in Cincinnati's downtown entertainment district. It would be the
(07:57):
equivalent of say the River Walking in in San Antonio,
or Lo doo U in downtown Denver Pearl Street Mall,
like the attack we saw in the Pearl Street Mall
in Boulder. Now you can find videos of these assaults
anywhere on the interwebs.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, it's one of those ones that I'm not fully
comfortable putting at. Michael says, go here dot com and
they're brutal. You can you can find it if you want,
but it's just nothing that I'm Yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
And there there's one photo of the single mother named
Polly who who is slammed to the ground, hits her
head on the concrete and there's pictures. I mean, let's
stop and think about this. This is one of the
most widely videotaped incidents that I can recall in recent history.
(08:51):
That this is just every nobody was doing anything except
they got their phones out. That's modern American society. Oh,
somebody's being attacked, grabbed my phone, you would think. Now,
I understand that Daniel Penny, the guy that protected those
people in the subway in New York City, I know
(09:13):
he was acquitted of those criminal charges. However, he had
to spend all and people came to his financial help.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Forget that Jordan Williams didn't even get charged. That's a
dragon bugaboo right there. That's drag and bugaboo. So Daniel Penny,
uh fights the charges and wins. He's exonerate.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
He's acquitted of all the criminal charges in the death
of that guy named whose name I won't repeat.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Neely.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Now, when the woman named when the when the white
single mother tried to intervene.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
She was struck.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Unconscious, she was left bleeding on the asphalt. Her body
was just still no dignity in the photograph whatsoever. Now
she's required multiple hospital visits. She still in recovery. The
male victim, bloodied and dazed, endured a vicious beating. I
don't see in all the videos I've seen, I don't
(10:10):
see any provocation other than the fact he was in
the wrong place at the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And I would add because I think it was white.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
This was not some after the bar's closed drunken brawl.
This was a coordinated act of racialized violence, and even
more disturbing than the violence itself was the setting. By
the latest count, more than one hundred bystanders watching recording
(10:40):
doing absolutely not a damn thing. Only one person among
them called nine everybody else while they reached for their phones,
but not to dial nine one one, not to seek help,
but to capture a grotesque moment of what they perceived
to be entertainment. Oh maybe I can sell this to tea.
(11:01):
Oh maybe I can show this to all my friends.
I can put this on my IG account. Oh I
can put this up on x. This is a society
that prefers capturing something that you hope will go viral
and you'll have your not even your fifteen minutes of fame,
your fifteen seconds of fame over virtue. The police chief
(11:25):
in Cincinnati. Her response is grotesque. She didn't condemn the attackers,
or instead of condemning the attackers, she chose to qualify
her outrage with a bunch of weasel wording, absolute weasel wording.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Another topic I want to cover real quick, social media
and journalism.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And the role of play in this incident.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
And yes, guys, that's you, that is you.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Social media. The post that we've seen does not depict
the entire incident.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
What That's the first thing that she has to say
at her press conference is oh, we need more context,
We need more context. People didn't see the full context. Well,
then pray tell me, chief, what is the full context?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
That is one version of what occurred. At times, social
media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation
of the circumstances surrounding any given event.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
What that does? That causes us some difficulties in thoroughly
investigating the activity and enforcing the law.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
How.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I really want to know how, because yeah, you've got
a media onslaught, the one who knows what happened, and
you've got all of these viral videos going around. But
how does that impede your investigation? Yeah, you've got to
sort through all of the videos. You've got to go
talk to witnesses, you have to talk to the victims,
you have to conduct a criminal investigation. Just because there
(13:26):
were more than one hundred people standing around taking a video,
actually I would think would help. Does it provide the
full context?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But that's why you're the faking police chief.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
That's why you have detectives, is to go investigate and
see what happened.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Because what happens that social media post and your coverage
of it distorts the content of what actually happened.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm still waiting, tell me what happened, and.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
It makes our job more difficult. Go ahead, right here
and in the Central Business section, they were working. They
were both in vehicles and like I said, they had
the maneuver through the traffic. Second question is it's that
social media and media storted.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
The consent of what actually happened. One exactly was distorted.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I understand that there was one multiple views of the video,
but exactly what led up.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
To this, I mean, what was distorted?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So I think by the irresponsibility with social media is
it just shows one side of the equation quite frequently
without context, without factual context, and then people run with that,
and then it grows legs and it becomes something bigger
(14:45):
that we then have to try to manage as part
of the investigation.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Do you know what?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
I think she's really trying to say, you embarrassed me
and you embarrassed my city by posting these vidis. Now
I have a degree. Social media can certainly distort reality.
But did you hear anything in any of that about
how there was some context that we were missing. She
(15:16):
never told us what the context was. This woman is
a despicable human being.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Look up Saturday morning to the video the incident occurred.
We got our first call at three oh six am.
First officers are on the scene at three twelve am.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
I thought she told us that there were two patrol
cars in the Central Business District, which I assume is
near this entertainment district. They had to maneuver their way
through traffic. Okay, well, that's what lights and sirens are for.
That's what you know, running hot is for. Andy, I
know you still have to maneuver around vehicles. About six
(16:00):
minutes to respond from the first call, real.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Quick, Michael, before before we keep going on this and
before we hit the break, can I make a few observations.
I'm trying to find this police chief presser and post
it to Michael says, go here dot com. Like I said,
I don't want to post the video because it's just brutal.
But I did find w LWT, a news organization that
they have it listed as the full presser. Cincinnati Police
(16:25):
chief gives update on violent downtown brawl that went violent
or excuse me, went viral. When I think of a brawl,
I think if it's a two sided fight.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, you lie out here in the in the hallway.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
So this was not a brawl.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
This was a mob attack.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yes, this was a mob one attack. Yes, And just
me poking fun at the news organization the way they
labeled their videos like that is that no.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
And just so we don't lose sight of the fact too,
I've used the term racialized. I bet at least three
or four times so far. This was black on white
mob attack.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Basing the bodycam footage that I've watched, That response time
is completely acceptable because the downtown area still had traffic
congestion from all of the events.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Upon arrival, the fight was over with.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
The fight was over with when the officers.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Arrived to your point in Dragon, it was just a
fight again, a fight. It was just seeing that there
are two sides, one going after the other, you know,
each going after each each to.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Your point, each going after each other. Right, No, this
was not this was not a fight. Uh.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
It's like, you know, you're walking down the street. You've
seen we've seen the videos of people walking down the
street of you know, midtown Mantin or downtown Denver and
you get attacked from behind. That's not a fight. When
they attack you from behind and your head goes crashing
into the concrete like Holly's did in Cincinnati, that's not
a fight.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's an attack. More of the chief and point.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
I think this is an important story about the decay
of this country.
Speaker 9 (18:21):
Next, hey, Michael, just in case you're not aware of it,
that brilliant, wonderful, not at all horrible, soulless hag police
chief from Cincinnati has one great contribution to policing in Cincinnati,
(18:42):
which is trying to launch a program where they use drones, yes, drones,
for first responders.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
She is a waste of space.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
And I'm just guessing she's a DEI hired too. I
just man. Talk about lack of communication skills, talk about
not being able to read the room, talk about an
absolute lack of empathy for the victims in this and
not realizing what kind of crap show she's got on
(19:16):
her hands, or even worse, I think she does look.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Up Saturday morning to the video the incident occurred. We
got our first call at three oh six am. First
officers were on the scene at three twelve am. Based
on the bodycam footage that I've watched, that response time
(19:44):
is completely acceptable because the downtown area still had traffic
congestion from all of the events.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Which again, I mean I could do this all day long.
Begs the question if you knew that this festival was
taking place, and you knew there was going to be
a time when it would end, and you knew that
there were going to be traffic, there's traffic congestion, there's
going to be all these problems. Where were the cops?
(20:20):
Where was the Cincinnati Police Department? Where was your leadership?
Why weren't you there?
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Upon arrival?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
The fight was over with the fight with when the
officers arrived. I heard it and the majority of the
participants were gone.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Participants. We had participants in a fight.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
The officers did exactly what they are trained to do.
They gathered information from the victims that were still at
the scene to complete an offense report.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I will tell you.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
At this time we have victims and suspects identified, and
we have charged five people in this offense. I'm not
going to release that information to you. I will say
if individuals were down there and participated in this event,
(21:24):
it would be in their best interests to come turn
themselves in at one of our police districts. We have five,
we have charged, and anticipate more. Let it be clear anyone,
anyone who put their hands on another individual during this
(21:48):
incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences.
I don't care which side of the incident or the
fight they were on. If they placed their hands on
somebody in an attempt to cause harm, that is unacceptable.
(22:10):
This is still an open investigation and all potential chargers
are being investigated for everyone involved. All investigative tools and
techniques are on the table, including were some of these
(22:30):
individuals overserved at some local establishments.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Why she's now going to shift the blame to the bartenders?
Were In fact, we're going to do such a thorough
investigation that we're going to find out where they overserved. Yes,
were all of these thugs overserved? Yeah, we're going to
(22:57):
go after them.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It is clear to us that alcohol played a part,
a significant part in this incident.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I wonder if Race did brace alcohol. You know.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I want to thank every citizen who has come forward
and provided us with information.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Wait a minute, I thought she was upset about all
of the videos and all of that. So are some
videos more equal than others? That is she mad because
some people put on Instagram before they gave them to her.
What she upset about? You can't have it both way, sweetheart,
you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Some of those tips have led to the charges being signed. However,
for us to have one hundred or so people down
there involved in and were watching this event recording with
their cell phones, and for us to get only one
(24:01):
phone call of this incident is unacceptable in this city.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
She's got a point there, she does.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Person did the right thing and called nine one one.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But apparently there were others that were cooperating with you
and providing information. Were some of those the people that
were I'm not trying to excuse them not you know,
dialing ninety one one, but were they some of the others.
The vice president of the Cincinnati City Council of President
(24:34):
pro tem Victoria Parks. She's been a city council member
since twenty twenty two. She was previously the chief of
staff and the commissioner for Todd Purtoon championing. This is
from her her bio, championing initiatives like declaring racism as
a public health crisis, establishing Juneteenth as a paid holiday
(24:55):
in Hamilton County. With a background in both nonprofit and government,
including at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the
Women's Crisis Center, she has a lifelong commitment to community
service and advocacy for underserved communities. And then she writes this,
(25:19):
they begged for that beat down. I am grateful for
the whole story. That's Victoria Parks. They begged for that
beat down. I am grateful of the whole story. Now
you might expect that from you know, a troll on
the internet, not a public official. So she's legitimizing my violence.
(25:44):
It confirms what the footage shows us, that the victims
were not being seen as human beings but as interlopers.
Deserving of the pain that they inflict that the thugs
inflicted upon them. Now that completely betray our concept of
equal protection under the law. It invites more violence. It
(26:06):
assures all of that would be a sailants that their
behavior will be minimized, no matter what the Chief says,
it'll be rationalized. Fact on the city council, it's being celebrated,
so that gives you the optics. Now we've got to
establish the narrative. Now, to her credit, the chief did
initiate at least some arrest. Three suspects out of all
(26:28):
of those that if you go look at the videos,
three suspects, Montanez Merriweather, Decaiah of Vernon, and Jermaine Matthews
charged with aggravated rioting, felonious assault, and some other related defenses.
There are two that remain at large. And these are
serious charges. Bond ranges from one hundred grand to half
(26:50):
a million, but even that measure of seriousness has got
to be weighed against past decisions. Merriweather, for example, was
previously around less than a month agoing weapons charges and
released on a four thousand dollars bond with a ten
percent option once he paid four hundred bucks to get out.
He was free to join a mob three weeks later. Now,
(27:12):
in a sane criminal justice system, repeat violent offenders do
not just roam the streets during a major public event
in a city that is sensibly run by adults, extra
officers would have been deployed to manage the crowd during
a Reds game, a music festival, downtown nightlife. That such
obvious precautions were not taken is more than negligence. It's
(27:37):
a culture of pre empty excuse making. But don't be surprised.
That's not new logic and that's not a new phenomenon
that we see in Cincinnati. It's a worldview, in my opinion.
You know, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffin Deffer called the
(27:57):
attack what it plainly was. She said it was Barbari,
it was targeted violence. The mayor, Afta Purval, a man
not known for his backbone, labeled it, well, it's unacceptable
and disgusting. Now, don't be wrong. At least they said something.
But there's clearly a leadership vacuum in Cincinnati. But let's
(28:20):
do think about the media. For example, were the racial
dynamics reversed and had a white mob assaulted a black
tourist and a black mother outside a country music event.
The country would be in flames. We'd have another George
Floyd on our hands, you know. MSNBC and CNN would
be well, they wouldn't because what's Wolf.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Talking about right now? I can't cairon oh House, Oh House.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
The House leader Hakeem Jefferies is going to talk about
the Texas redistricting controversy.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Uh, were the races reversed, things would be entirely different. CNN,
New York Times largely silent. So it ends up being
the citizen journalists, much like we talked about yesterday with
at Do Better, Denver and places like X to document
(29:19):
the horror the legacy media of the cabal. It revealed
its ideological bias, in this case not by comission, but
by omission. Now, Cincinnati does have some juvenile curfew policies.
They've got soft on crime prosecutors, they've got to catch
(29:42):
and release justice system. They found a perfect opportunity to
show and to showcase their civic dysfunction. There are reports
that the officers repeatedly received instructions not to detain juveniles,
not to cite the parents, to effectively turned policing into
what babysitters and as a result, this lawlessness that we
(30:07):
saw come to a head last weekend is just metastasizing
through Cincinnati. But you know, I could be talking about Denver,
I could be talking about Austin, I could be talking
about the shooter in New York City where you know,
one thing I did yesterday was kind of dig through
exactly why did the security guard at the front desk
(30:27):
not have a firearm? Well, because New York City has
made it so difficult that really, effectively, not legally, but effectively,
the only people that are so called security guards that
can carry a firearm.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
An off duty cop.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
So I see Cincinnati not as just a local issue,
It's a national issue.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Michael I called Cincinnati chief office and the receptions that
actually took my phone call and said that they've received
thousands of complaints against the chief on that press conference
as she put on. I said, she needs to be fired.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Thank you. Wow, one you.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Called the police chief's office and that's what they said
to you, that they've got thousands of complaints about her
press conference.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Wow, that's a pretty good admission against interest.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Maybe not complaints, but maybe they said, just thousands of calls,
all its assuming they're all come.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Right, yeah, I just can't imagine they woul admit, oh yeah,
we've had thousands of people bitching about the chief. But
who knows, maybe they're stupid enough to do that too.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Well, it is hard to believe that you got thousands
of people calling and say, what great job, that's a.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Fantastic what a fantastic job you did? You think about
those victims, Paully in that unnamed tourist. Don't you think
we owe them more than just old medical treatment and
you know, thoughts and prayers. How about justice, notson ball justice,
not a stupid press conference, but we got to get
(32:05):
back to real justice, the swift, certain and you know,
not sentimental. You know what that means. That means those
detectives have a lot of work to do. If there
were more than one hundred participants, if there were more
than one hundred people involved, even those that maybe didn't
(32:26):
lay a hand on somebody, but.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
They're there, may be, you know, a failure to do something.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
But how about calling them in. You know, there's nothing
more kind of unnerving than to receive a knock on
the door, and it's a detective with the Cincinnati Police Department,
and you know you were there and you were video taping,
and you know, we'd just like to ask you a
few questions. You know, where were you, what'd you see?
(32:55):
Blah blah blah, you took a video? Did you did
you call nine one one? You know, you're not accusing,
You're just asking questions, did you call nine one one?
Now I'm not for out intimidating citizens, but if you're
going to conduct an investigation, conduct an investigation, and it
(33:17):
also means prosecuting every participant in that mob, the bystanders,
if you impeded the investigation, if you impeded the response, Yeah,
maybe you should be held accountable too. You know, I
think it does represent just a decay in society and
(33:39):
it's sad and it's infuriating.
The situation.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
The situation Michael untains on the station song in loud.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
And socking queer colla question you hear drag some person
the river's untrack walls at the door. Other people ask why?
Dragon laughs?
Speaker 4 (00:17):
But is our stone high?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The corsa? But the truth won't die depends on streets
through the mountain. Snow, what's you see?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Ain't all that you know? It's been the dial?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Say a signe oh free, you're just a longful to
ride Dragon.

The so called talent would like you to download the
iHeart app favorite the situation with Michael Brown. On the
Weekend with Michael Brown, you can click the red microphone

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I don't know if you ever had a chance to
eat it. The Blue taco it's a chain, actually blue Taco.
I eat one down in Kansas one time, and they're
all over there in Utah. I don't know if there's
any here in Colorado. An they're up in Idaho. But yeah,
next time you get a chance to try the Blue
Taco restaurant.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Not gonna do it. Not gonna look it up, just
just not gonna. I I don't trust you. No, no,
I ain't gonna do it. That's dragging. Red Beard might
be the best restaurant in the world.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Dragging at iHeartMedia dot com for all your complaints. Dragging
at iHeartMedia dot com. Al certainly you know, if I'm
driving down the street and I see a Blue Taco,
well now.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Know to pull in and try it right now.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No, I'm with you, right yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm not gonna go look it up.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
But I'm not gonna go look it up.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Because I find it interesting that he takes he thinks,
he tells us how great blue Taco is. And I
don't know Pennsylvania and Georgia and Utah and Idaho and everywhere,
but I don't know if there was.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
One in Colorado, and that interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Not gonna do it.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I mean, don't don't think that I'm playing lawyer here
or anything, but I listened to what you said. There's
a big gaping hole in what you said. This lawyer
that I used to work for had on his pitney
bows you know, postage machine, uh, the regular postage.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
But there was some.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Saying, and it was something about society and how we
you know, we treat guilty people or we treat you know,
accused people or something. I forget what it was. I
wish I could remember what it was, because it fits
in with another phrase that I've heard, which is a
(03:02):
society reveals its soul in how it protects the innocent,
which is what made me think about what this law
used to having us postage meter. But something along that line.
Society reveals its soul in how we protect the innocent.
Have you been watching a story about Cincinnati. It's several
days old. It's one of these stories that has been
(03:24):
sitting in my pos for.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
A while, and I've kind of let it just percolate.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Because it just seems I kept waiting for somebody in
the cabal to come out and say this is wrong
and this is racist, and a few people have, but
the people who have not, or the people who've actually
said the opposite, really does tell us a lot about
(03:53):
how this darkness, this good versus evil battle is going
on in this country.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Confused, Michael, We've already started. We've already talked about the
Sydney Sweeney jeans ad.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Oh, well, then what am I going to do for
the next hour? I'm totally lost. Now we talk about
waffles or blue tacos. There's blue oyster. There's a blue
oyster restaurant down by us. Is that the same thing
blue oysters tacos?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Well, on the weekend of July twenty five, Cincinnati, I've
been to Cincinnati. Yeah, okay, been to Cincinnati, BFD, right,
But Cincinnati over the weekend showed us that when mob's
roam free, and then those that we elect to govern
(04:45):
to actually, you know, promulgate rules for our safety and
force our laws, you know, to serve and protect to site.
You know a lot of police department mottoes. They look away,
they turn away, and they pretend it doesn't happen. Justice
(05:06):
collapses now in a nation where the rule of law
is the foundational principle, well, one of the foundations. We
have lots of foundations, but the rule of law is
at least one side of the House, Cincinnati's response to
(05:28):
a vicious assault. There was a racial assault. I think
gives us a really chilling preview of what happens when
political cowardice, political correctness, evil all comes together in moral bankruptcy.
(05:48):
If if you want to think this sounds like some
right winging evangelical nut job, I really just don't care.
But I think the country, if anything's going to destroy
the country, there are all of these incidents, and there
(06:10):
are all these movements, and they're all there are all
these laws, but everything is under the canopy of moral bankruptcy.
The country is to a certain degree. I know it's
a generalization, because I do know. This morning I was
(06:30):
going to talk about good versus evil, but in a
different context. And as I was thinking about it driving in,
I thought, but I need to be careful here, because
there are a lot of really good people desperately, vigorously
(06:53):
trying to fight back this veil of evil that is
encompassing the country. And I don't know why, but Charlie
Kirk came to mind turning point. USA, here's a kid
I don't think. I don't think Charlie has a college
degree or anything who has put together.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Maybe he does.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
I just don't know who has put together an amazing
group of young people who think like we do, who
are determined to try to turn the country around. So
it's not everywhere, but these stories like Cincinnati drown those
stories out. Let's start with the facts of what happened
(07:34):
in Cincinnati. It was closing night of the Cincinnati Downtown
Jazz Festival. A white male tourist and a white single
mother were brutally attacked by a black mob. It was
this in Cincinnati's downtown entertainment district. It would be the
(07:57):
equivalent of say the River Walking in in San Antonio,
or Lo doo U in downtown Denver Pearl Street Mall,
like the attack we saw in the Pearl Street Mall
in Boulder. Now you can find videos of these assaults
anywhere on the interwebs.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, it's one of those ones that I'm not fully
comfortable putting at. Michael says, go here dot com and
they're brutal. You can you can find it if you want,
but it's just nothing that I'm Yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
And there there's one photo of the single mother named
Polly who who is slammed to the ground, hits her
head on the concrete and there's pictures. I mean, let's
stop and think about this. This is one of the
most widely videotaped incidents that I can recall in recent history.
(08:51):
That this is just every nobody was doing anything except
they got their phones out. That's modern American society. Oh,
somebody's being attacked, grabbed my phone, you would think. Now,
I understand that Daniel Penny, the guy that protected those
people in the subway in New York City, I know
(09:13):
he was acquitted of those criminal charges. However, he had
to spend all and people came to his financial help.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Forget that Jordan Williams didn't even get charged. That's a
dragon bugaboo right there. That's drag and bugaboo. So Daniel Penny,
uh fights the charges and wins. He's exonerate.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
He's acquitted of all the criminal charges in the death
of that guy named whose name I won't repeat.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Neely.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Now, when the woman named when the when the white
single mother tried to intervene.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
She was struck.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Unconscious, she was left bleeding on the asphalt. Her body
was just still no dignity in the photograph whatsoever. Now
she's required multiple hospital visits. She still in recovery. The
male victim, bloodied and dazed, endured a vicious beating. I
don't see in all the videos I've seen, I don't
(10:10):
see any provocation other than the fact he was in
the wrong place at the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And I would add because I think it was white.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
This was not some after the bar's closed drunken brawl.
This was a coordinated act of racialized violence, and even
more disturbing than the violence itself was the setting. By
the latest count, more than one hundred bystanders watching recording
(10:40):
doing absolutely not a damn thing. Only one person among
them called nine everybody else while they reached for their phones,
but not to dial nine one one, not to seek help,
but to capture a grotesque moment of what they perceived
to be entertainment. Oh maybe I can sell this to tea.
(11:01):
Oh maybe I can show this to all my friends.
I can put this on my IG account. Oh I
can put this up on x. This is a society
that prefers capturing something that you hope will go viral
and you'll have your not even your fifteen minutes of fame,
your fifteen seconds of fame over virtue. The police chief
(11:25):
in Cincinnati. Her response is grotesque. She didn't condemn the attackers,
or instead of condemning the attackers, she chose to qualify
her outrage with a bunch of weasel wording, absolute weasel wording.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Another topic I want to cover real quick, social media
and journalism.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And the role of play in this incident.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
And yes, guys, that's you, that is you.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Social media. The post that we've seen does not depict
the entire incident.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
What That's the first thing that she has to say
at her press conference is oh, we need more context,
We need more context. People didn't see the full context. Well,
then pray tell me, chief, what is the full context?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
That is one version of what occurred. At times, social
media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation
of the circumstances surrounding any given event.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
What that does? That causes us some difficulties in thoroughly
investigating the activity and enforcing the law.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
How.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I really want to know how, because yeah, you've got
a media onslaught, the one who knows what happened, and
you've got all of these viral videos going around. But
how does that impede your investigation? Yeah, you've got to
sort through all of the videos. You've got to go
talk to witnesses, you have to talk to the victims,
you have to conduct a criminal investigation. Just because there
(13:26):
were more than one hundred people standing around taking a video,
actually I would think would help. Does it provide the
full context?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But that's why you're the faking police chief.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
That's why you have detectives, is to go investigate and
see what happened.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Because what happens that social media post and your coverage
of it distorts the content of what actually happened.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm still waiting, tell me what happened, and.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
It makes our job more difficult. Go ahead, right here
and in the Central Business section, they were working. They
were both in vehicles and like I said, they had
the maneuver through the traffic. Second question is it's that
social media and media storted.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
The consent of what actually happened. One exactly was distorted.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I understand that there was one multiple views of the video,
but exactly what led up.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
To this, I mean, what was distorted?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So I think by the irresponsibility with social media is
it just shows one side of the equation quite frequently
without context, without factual context, and then people run with that,
and then it grows legs and it becomes something bigger
(14:45):
that we then have to try to manage as part
of the investigation.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Do you know what?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
I think she's really trying to say, you embarrassed me
and you embarrassed my city by posting these vidis. Now
I have a degree. Social media can certainly distort reality.
But did you hear anything in any of that about
how there was some context that we were missing. She
(15:16):
never told us what the context was. This woman is
a despicable human being.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Look up Saturday morning to the video the incident occurred.
We got our first call at three oh six am.
First officers are on the scene at three twelve am.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
I thought she told us that there were two patrol
cars in the Central Business District, which I assume is
near this entertainment district. They had to maneuver their way
through traffic. Okay, well, that's what lights and sirens are for.
That's what you know, running hot is for. Andy, I
know you still have to maneuver around vehicles. About six
(16:00):
minutes to respond from the first call, real.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Quick, Michael, before before we keep going on this and
before we hit the break, can I make a few observations.
I'm trying to find this police chief presser and post
it to Michael says, go here dot com. Like I said,
I don't want to post the video because it's just brutal.
But I did find w LWT, a news organization that
they have it listed as the full presser. Cincinnati Police
(16:25):
chief gives update on violent downtown brawl that went violent
or excuse me, went viral. When I think of a brawl,
I think if it's a two sided fight.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, you lie out here in the in the hallway.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
So this was not a brawl.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
This was a mob attack.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yes, this was a mob one attack. Yes, And just
me poking fun at the news organization the way they
labeled their videos like that is that no.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
And just so we don't lose sight of the fact too,
I've used the term racialized. I bet at least three
or four times so far. This was black on white
mob attack.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Basing the bodycam footage that I've watched, That response time
is completely acceptable because the downtown area still had traffic
congestion from all of the events.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Upon arrival, the fight was over with.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
The fight was over with when the officers.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Arrived to your point in Dragon, it was just a
fight again, a fight. It was just seeing that there
are two sides, one going after the other, you know,
each going after each each to.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Your point, each going after each other. Right, No, this
was not this was not a fight. Uh.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
It's like, you know, you're walking down the street. You've
seen we've seen the videos of people walking down the
street of you know, midtown Mantin or downtown Denver and
you get attacked from behind. That's not a fight. When
they attack you from behind and your head goes crashing
into the concrete like Holly's did in Cincinnati, that's not
a fight.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's an attack. More of the chief and point.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
I think this is an important story about the decay
of this country.
Speaker 9 (18:21):
Next, hey, Michael, just in case you're not aware of it,
that brilliant, wonderful, not at all horrible, soulless hag police
chief from Cincinnati has one great contribution to policing in Cincinnati,
(18:42):
which is trying to launch a program where they use drones, yes, drones,
for first responders.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
She is a waste of space.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
And I'm just guessing she's a DEI hired too. I
just man. Talk about lack of communication skills, talk about
not being able to read the room, talk about an
absolute lack of empathy for the victims in this and
not realizing what kind of crap show she's got on
(19:16):
her hands, or even worse, I think she does look.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Up Saturday morning to the video the incident occurred. We
got our first call at three oh six am. First
officers were on the scene at three twelve am. Based
on the bodycam footage that I've watched, that response time
(19:44):
is completely acceptable because the downtown area still had traffic
congestion from all of the events.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Which again, I mean I could do this all day long.
Begs the question if you knew that this festival was
taking place, and you knew there was going to be
a time when it would end, and you knew that
there were going to be traffic, there's traffic congestion, there's
going to be all these problems. Where were the cops?
(20:20):
Where was the Cincinnati Police Department? Where was your leadership?
Why weren't you there?
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Upon arrival?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
The fight was over with the fight with when the
officers arrived. I heard it and the majority of the
participants were gone.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Participants. We had participants in a fight.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
The officers did exactly what they are trained to do.
They gathered information from the victims that were still at
the scene to complete an offense report.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I will tell you.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
At this time we have victims and suspects identified, and
we have charged five people in this offense. I'm not
going to release that information to you. I will say
if individuals were down there and participated in this event,
(21:24):
it would be in their best interests to come turn
themselves in at one of our police districts. We have five,
we have charged, and anticipate more. Let it be clear anyone,
anyone who put their hands on another individual during this
(21:48):
incident in an attempt to cause harm will face consequences.
I don't care which side of the incident or the
fight they were on. If they placed their hands on
somebody in an attempt to cause harm, that is unacceptable.
(22:10):
This is still an open investigation and all potential chargers
are being investigated for everyone involved. All investigative tools and
techniques are on the table, including were some of these
(22:30):
individuals overserved at some local establishments.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Why she's now going to shift the blame to the bartenders?
Were In fact, we're going to do such a thorough
investigation that we're going to find out where they overserved. Yes,
were all of these thugs overserved? Yeah, we're going to
(22:57):
go after them.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
It is clear to us that alcohol played a part,
a significant part in this incident.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I wonder if Race did brace alcohol. You know.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I want to thank every citizen who has come forward
and provided us with information.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Wait a minute, I thought she was upset about all
of the videos and all of that. So are some
videos more equal than others? That is she mad because
some people put on Instagram before they gave them to her.
What she upset about? You can't have it both way, sweetheart,
you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Some of those tips have led to the charges being signed. However,
for us to have one hundred or so people down
there involved in and were watching this event recording with
their cell phones, and for us to get only one
(24:01):
phone call of this incident is unacceptable in this city.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
She's got a point there, she does.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Person did the right thing and called nine one one.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But apparently there were others that were cooperating with you
and providing information. Were some of those the people that
were I'm not trying to excuse them not you know,
dialing ninety one one, but were they some of the others.
The vice president of the Cincinnati City Council of President
(24:34):
pro tem Victoria Parks. She's been a city council member
since twenty twenty two. She was previously the chief of
staff and the commissioner for Todd Purtoon championing. This is
from her her bio, championing initiatives like declaring racism as
a public health crisis, establishing Juneteenth as a paid holiday
(24:55):
in Hamilton County. With a background in both nonprofit and government,
including at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the
Women's Crisis Center, she has a lifelong commitment to community
service and advocacy for underserved communities. And then she writes this,
(25:19):
they begged for that beat down. I am grateful for
the whole story. That's Victoria Parks. They begged for that
beat down. I am grateful of the whole story. Now
you might expect that from you know, a troll on
the internet, not a public official. So she's legitimizing my violence.
(25:44):
It confirms what the footage shows us, that the victims
were not being seen as human beings but as interlopers.
Deserving of the pain that they inflict that the thugs
inflicted upon them. Now that completely betray our concept of
equal protection under the law. It invites more violence. It
(26:06):
assures all of that would be a sailants that their
behavior will be minimized, no matter what the Chief says,
it'll be rationalized. Fact on the city council, it's being celebrated,
so that gives you the optics. Now we've got to
establish the narrative. Now, to her credit, the chief did
initiate at least some arrest. Three suspects out of all
(26:28):
of those that if you go look at the videos,
three suspects, Montanez Merriweather, Decaiah of Vernon, and Jermaine Matthews
charged with aggravated rioting, felonious assault, and some other related defenses.
There are two that remain at large. And these are
serious charges. Bond ranges from one hundred grand to half
(26:50):
a million, but even that measure of seriousness has got
to be weighed against past decisions. Merriweather, for example, was
previously around less than a month agoing weapons charges and
released on a four thousand dollars bond with a ten
percent option once he paid four hundred bucks to get out.
He was free to join a mob three weeks later. Now,
(27:12):
in a sane criminal justice system, repeat violent offenders do
not just roam the streets during a major public event
in a city that is sensibly run by adults, extra
officers would have been deployed to manage the crowd during
a Reds game, a music festival, downtown nightlife. That such
obvious precautions were not taken is more than negligence. It's
(27:37):
a culture of pre empty excuse making. But don't be surprised.
That's not new logic and that's not a new phenomenon
that we see in Cincinnati. It's a worldview, in my opinion.
You know, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffin Deffer called the
(27:57):
attack what it plainly was. She said it was Barbari,
it was targeted violence. The mayor, Afta Purval, a man
not known for his backbone, labeled it, well, it's unacceptable
and disgusting. Now, don't be wrong. At least they said something.
But there's clearly a leadership vacuum in Cincinnati. But let's
(28:20):
do think about the media. For example, were the racial
dynamics reversed and had a white mob assaulted a black
tourist and a black mother outside a country music event.
The country would be in flames. We'd have another George
Floyd on our hands, you know. MSNBC and CNN would
be well, they wouldn't because what's Wolf.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Talking about right now? I can't cairon oh House, Oh House.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
The House leader Hakeem Jefferies is going to talk about
the Texas redistricting controversy.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Uh, were the races reversed, things would be entirely different. CNN,
New York Times largely silent. So it ends up being
the citizen journalists, much like we talked about yesterday with
at Do Better, Denver and places like X to document
(29:19):
the horror the legacy media of the cabal. It revealed
its ideological bias, in this case not by comission, but
by omission. Now, Cincinnati does have some juvenile curfew policies.
They've got soft on crime prosecutors, they've got to catch
(29:42):
and release justice system. They found a perfect opportunity to
show and to showcase their civic dysfunction. There are reports
that the officers repeatedly received instructions not to detain juveniles,
not to cite the parents, to effectively turned policing into
what babysitters and as a result, this lawlessness that we
(30:07):
saw come to a head last weekend is just metastasizing
through Cincinnati. But you know, I could be talking about Denver,
I could be talking about Austin, I could be talking
about the shooter in New York City where you know,
one thing I did yesterday was kind of dig through
exactly why did the security guard at the front desk
(30:27):
not have a firearm? Well, because New York City has
made it so difficult that really, effectively, not legally, but effectively,
the only people that are so called security guards that
can carry a firearm.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
An off duty cop.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
So I see Cincinnati not as just a local issue,
It's a national issue.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Michael I called Cincinnati chief office and the receptions that
actually took my phone call and said that they've received
thousands of complaints against the chief on that press conference
as she put on. I said, she needs to be fired.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Thank you. Wow, one you.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Called the police chief's office and that's what they said
to you, that they've got thousands of complaints about her
press conference.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Wow, that's a pretty good admission against interest.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Maybe not complaints, but maybe they said, just thousands of calls,
all its assuming they're all come.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Right, yeah, I just can't imagine they woul admit, oh yeah,
we've had thousands of people bitching about the chief. But
who knows, maybe they're stupid enough to do that too.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Well, it is hard to believe that you got thousands
of people calling and say, what great job, that's a.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Fantastic what a fantastic job you did? You think about
those victims, Paully in that unnamed tourist. Don't you think
we owe them more than just old medical treatment and
you know, thoughts and prayers. How about justice, notson ball justice,
not a stupid press conference, but we got to get
(32:05):
back to real justice, the swift, certain and you know,
not sentimental. You know what that means. That means those
detectives have a lot of work to do. If there
were more than one hundred participants, if there were more
than one hundred people involved, even those that maybe didn't
(32:26):
lay a hand on somebody, but.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
They're there, may be, you know, a failure to do something.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
But how about calling them in. You know, there's nothing
more kind of unnerving than to receive a knock on
the door, and it's a detective with the Cincinnati Police Department,
and you know you were there and you were video taping,
and you know, we'd just like to ask you a
few questions. You know, where were you, what'd you see?
(32:55):
Blah blah blah, you took a video? Did you did
you call nine one one? You know, you're not accusing,
You're just asking questions, did you call nine one one?
Now I'm not for out intimidating citizens, but if you're
going to conduct an investigation, conduct an investigation, and it
(33:17):
also means prosecuting every participant in that mob, the bystanders,
if you impeded the investigation, if you impeded the response, Yeah,
maybe you should be held accountable too. You know, I
think it does represent just a decay in society and
(33:39):
it's sad and it's infuriating.
