Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Back on the Big One seven hundred wlw at is
twelve o eight. I'm Dan Carroll, Bill Cunningham, the Great
American has a day off. And you heard Scott Sloane
say at the end of his show that what's happening
at City Hall right now is an absolute dumpster fire.
And we are going to be all over that a
little bit later on, because what is happening at City
Hall is the result of those in leadership at City

(00:30):
Hall trying to follow the masters and appease the masters
of political correctness, wokeism, and of diversity, equity and inclusion.
My next guest, my first guest today, is a woman
who knows all about trying to serve those masters and
the terrible results of following the policies that come from

(00:56):
those ideas. Tina Daskovich is one of the two moms
who started a great organization called Moms for Liberty, and
she's my first guest today in Tina Daskovic. It is
always great to have you on, and you've got to
be in great spirits coming off the Mom's for Liberty
summit that just wrapped up. I believe it was yesterday
or the day before, but I was looking at some

(01:18):
of the highlights of the event. What a terrific event
that Moms for Liberty just had over the last several days.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, we had a fabulous time. We brought out a
thousand moms and dads. We had I think seventy five
speakers over three days.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
The energy was high.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
We had Real America's Voice out there live streaming the
whole event, and so we unified educated and empowered parents
across this country to save America.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You know, and I said at the top, you know,
you fight against the ideas that come along with diversity,
to come along with wokeness, to come along with political correctness,
because you know that those policies don't work, and you
look at them, you call yourself joyful warriors because you
know that the message that you have and the policies

(02:04):
you endorse are wholesome, They are uplifting, They accrue to
the greater good of everyone who gets involved with those policies.
And so when I look at those who participated in
the No Kings event that we had over the weekend,
I don't see a lot of happy warriors there. I
see a lot of people who are angry. I see
a lot of people who have nasty things to say.

(02:27):
They want to flip people the bird. They want to
mock Charlie Kirk and the way he was killed. They
want to call for the assassination and for the death
of the President of the United States. So I think
that really shows up a big difference between the types
of policies and the types of ideas that you come
out with and those on the left.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I was just notified in watching the video of a
that came out from the protest this weekend of a
woman that was protesting that she wanted all Nazis dead,
and the person interviewing said, well, who would you consider
to be a Nazi? And the lady said, Steven, Oh, no,
it was a gentleman, Stephen Miller, who's in the White
House staff.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
And so I found that bone chilling.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I've been called a Nazi for four and a half
years since he launched Moms for Liberty for standing up
for kids, and so you think I would get used
to the idea that they want us dead, But every
time I hear it or see it, and of course
the Charlie Kirk assassination, it's it's bone chilling.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
And you presented your highest award the Sword of Liberty
to a group of young Well you presented the Charlie Kirk,
but there to accept the award were a group of
young people who have aligned themselves with Turning Point USA.
And when you see, I'm looking at the picture of
you right now, you're standing there and all these young
people standing behind you, that's got to give you great

(03:50):
hope for the future when you see young individuals like
this coming out and standing for those principles.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
And so we Charlie and I were texting the weekend
before his assassination trying to get him nailed down to
be speaker at our gala at Summit this year, and
so the intent was to give Charlie our Liberty Sword
this year, and so we went ahead with that and
then trying to figure out what to do and how

(04:19):
to do it in a respectful manner.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Somebody and our team came up with.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
The idea to invite some local kids and we thought
ten or twenty would show up, but no, they wanted
to be there. You know, the monster in National Summit
is a lot of fun, but I'm not sure how
fun it is for you know, fifteen.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Year olds or nineteen year olds and so to get.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Them off the seven o'clock on a Saturday morning. We
had over one hundred of them there show up and
a number of them get up on stage.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It was hard to holding back the tears.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm not going to lie absolutely, but when you look
at these young people and what they're dedicating themselves to,
you know that this is going to pay dividends for
them in the future and for those who become part
of spreading that message.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yes, it's going to pay dividends for us as a
country if they if they have the same values that
we do, and they're holding up things like goodness and
virtue and conservatism, I think the future of America is right.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah. I'm looking at your x feed right now, and
you posted earlier this year. I don't even want to
say the individual's name, but there's some of the comments
that you get are just some of the most nasty
and vile and disgusting things that you can imagine, especially
when addressing women. And how do you deal with that?

(05:43):
How do you? I mean, I guess you have to
know that when you're going to get involved in things
like this, it's going to be a rough road and
there's going to be things like that. So is it
just a matter of growing thick skin to even let
that kind of stuff influence you or get to you
in any sort of way. But it's amazing to me
that that people can look at what it is you're well,

(06:06):
they're not really looking at what you're trying to do.
They're listening to other people and they're, yes, I'm simply
going on base. And that's a lot of what we
saw in the in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination
is people they want to call him a racist, a
big and a misogynist, but they don't look at the
body of work. They don't look at what he actually
did and the way he engaged with people on a

(06:28):
regular basis, I would say.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And when the attacks first came, it's a little disheartening
and you throws you off balance. You get used to
it really quick like, but over the five years, for
the most part, you let it roll. Every now and
then something comes in that is and it's usually not
on social but maybe it's a letter to my house
or something a little bit more aggressive, a clear threat

(06:54):
with an intent to hurt in a more personal way.
That does rattle me a bit. But you know, we
have FBI agents that we report to, we have local
law enforcement. We have a great relationship with them, and
so we forward those things, you know, And but then
you have the assassination of Charlie Kirk and I think
I walked around here stupid for a week. Just the
lady at church approached me on Sunday after and said,

(07:15):
you know, now is the time everybody's got to come together.
And I just remember saying, how do I come together
with people that want me dead? It was so personal
to me, and she looked shocked and a little bit insulted,
and I just thought, really, lady, they want us dead.
And now to see this person this morning saying that
about Stephen Miller, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I like to say that. Oh I let it roll
and everything's great. It's it's a little bit.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's discouraging, it's depressing, it's intimidating, it's sad like we're
taking it to a whole new level in America, and
it's it's whole it's just so inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, it's got to stop. I mean, you know, we've
got a we've got a situation here in Cincinnati where
the police chief is being dismissed, and they're trying to
create the idea that she's under investigation for not adhering
to her duties. And it's a it's just an absolute mess.
And it's because she she tried to We have a

(08:14):
fire chief that was fired because he didn't want to
play along with all these ideas. We have a police
chief who's getting fired because she tried to play along
with these ideas. And they both wind up in the
same place. And so what does it?

Speaker 4 (08:28):
YEA?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
And so you deal with these things all the time,
especially as it relates to education, and it's it's innocent
children who wind up paying the price, whether they don't
know how to read, whether they get indoctrinated or they
get sexualized, they wind up trying to believe in these
ideas that they can become a boy when they're a girl,
or a girl when they're a boy. All these things

(08:50):
and you and there's a there's a clip on you
on this PBS special. I want to talk about that
in a second. But you talk about truth, and really
when it comes to truth, and I guess what really
got me in thinking about this was on Saturday, I
turned on the No King's protest. It was being covered
by c SPAN, And the first person I see is

(09:10):
Randy Weingarten, the head of the Teachers Association national head,
and I thought she had stepped down, but she's still
the head of that, still the president. And I watched
her speak for about fifteen minutes, not a single word
about students, not a single word about teachers. It's all
about political activism. It's all about hate Trump, it's all

(09:31):
about their agenda as a political operation. It's all about
keeping the gravy train going. So you know, here's Randy Winingarden,
who's supposed to be in it for the betterment of children,
but yes, she's not in it for the betterment of herself,
not even for the better event of the union. It's

(09:51):
all for the betterment of her and her political allies.
And it's kids, innocent people who wind up paying the
price for that.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean, that's a whole two hour episode of your show,
I'd say, going to.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
Randy, Well, yeah, the role of the teachers, yeah, of course,
the role Just there's so much there.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Randy Weingarten is a is a nightmare, but she's just
the figurehead of the power of teachers unions in our
country and the role they've played to destroy public education
and in my opinion, our country. And so you know,
year after year, you can just look at the agenda
items they vote on on their annual conferences and it
never has anything to do with education. Let's just look

(10:36):
at her book that she just came out of the
gate with just a few days after Charlie's assassinated, and
on the bullet it says catch fascist. Her book is
about fascists in America. The opening forward mentions Mom for
liberty at least three times, like she is the problem.
And so I said, give me two hours. I'll just

(10:57):
do it tiring on like just a ramp my south.
I got a laundry list complaints there.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Absolutely, And let's talk about this PBS show that you
were on. What's it called deadlocked? Is that that's the
name of the show.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, it's called Breaking the Deadlock.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I think they Okay, breaking the deadlock, Okay, yeah, I'm
seeing it now, Yeah, Breaking the Deadlock, Truth under Fire.
And so this is a panel discussion where PBS and
I see that Ann Coulter was on that panel with you,
and she wrote about this. She writes about an exciting
new TV show that's uncontaminated by facts. So they set

(11:40):
up these scenario that didn't happen in real life, but
yet somehow you're all supposed to talk about this scenario
that they present and find common ground during the debate
of this idea is this? Is this something that? And

(12:01):
the way she describes it, she talks about I guess
you're not allowed to present real world facts in the
course of your argument. Is is that true? Or is that?
How does this whole thing play up?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's so fascinating. So they approached me and asked that
to be part of it. I was very hesitant. Everybody
on my team, everybody I talked to, said no, no, no,
don't go do it because they won't tell you who's
going to be on the show with you, and they
won't tell you even what the topic is. And so
I said, I would like to participate, but you have
to reassure me it's not like about Chinese foreign policy,

(12:32):
because I've got nothing to contribute, Like what are we
going to talk about?

Speaker 3 (12:36):
But they would not tell me.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
They did say that it was, you know, topics that
I wouldn't be knowledgeable about.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
And so we recorded in Manhattan on the day of Charlie.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Kirk's memorial, which was I don't know just I wanted
to be there in Arizona, but I had committed to
this to week weeks prior, and this was about finding
common ground and having civil discourse, so I thought it
was my use of time would probably be the go
to the show to be more important. I found one
of my chapter chairs locally to drive into the city
to record the whole thing on her phone. It was

(13:06):
three hours of recording, just in case they did to
me what they were going to do, what they give
me in sixty minutes. I walk in the room and
you just mentioned some of the people in the panel,
but it's Rick what's his last name, head of the
Lincoln Project. Yeah, head of the Lincoln Project is standing there.
The guy Eddie from MSNBC is standing there, the lady

(13:29):
from CNN, and the other lady from NSNBC is standing there,
and I'm like, oh boy, this is And then I
see En Coulter walk in.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I'm like, oh, at least you know I got someone else,
someone else.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's gonna see things the right way. Roger Severino from
the Heritage comes in. You know, you're just you're you're
kind of your emotions are like you're gauging the situation,
like what's going to go down here. Then they walk
you into the room and the cameras are already rolling
before they tell you the topics or anything, and yeah,
it's a hypothetical scenario. And they came right out the
gate telling me I was a school board member, and

(13:58):
so inside I'm like, OK, I know how to do
that there yet, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, I can do this one.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
And they give you these scenarios and somebody played the
role of a governor and a candidate and a news anchor,
and they're realistic, very realistic scenarios, and then they give
you twists and turns and you kind of have to
debate it out. I think some people were very honest
and forthcoming on how to maneuver through and others probably not.
They were viewing talking points. But it was fascinating. I

(14:27):
actually thoroughly enjoyed it. So I'm looking forward to the
episode tonight. But they're going to take three hours of
recording down to one, and so you have to wonder,
you know, what's left.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Will it be an honest depiction of the conversation?

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Okay, So if I if I tune into my local
PBS station to watch that tonight, is it going to
be worth my time?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, I'm going to watch it. I just in my
local team here in Florida. I was like, if you
want to come buy my house and your Jammy's at
nine pm, I'll make it some Bocorn's watch it. So
we're gonna we're going to watch it. We'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Well, I'll tell you what you're doing. Great work over
there at Moms for Little but you're really you're one
of my favorite guests I have on and I love
Moms for Liberty and everything you stand for. And congratulations
on the National Summit there in Orlando, Florida. What a
great event. And I'm looking at I spent a couple
hours today looking at some of the highlights and some

(15:22):
of the speakers that you had there, so it just
looked like a fantastic event. And keep up the great
work Teina Disco, which I always appreciate the time that
you can give us. I know you've got your own
podcast going on. If people want to find your podcast
that you do, where can they do that?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
They can go to the Mom's for Liberty website and
go under the Fire of Liberty, or they can go
to our YouTube channel and all episodes are posted there.
I appreciate the chance to promote that a bit. We
highlight every Wednesday at ten one of our grassroots leaders
and the stories really are fantastic, really moving and inspiring,
and so I encourage people to listen. You can also
find it on Apple and Spotify. The Fire of Liberty Show.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, and you know, as Rush Limball used to say,
the reason the reason you come under attack, the reason
he came under attack is because he's effective and you're effective,
and you're doing a great job. And again, thank you
so much for spending the time to come on my show.
I always love hearing your message and I hope we
get a chance of talking in so.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Thank you so much for the opportunity.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
All Right, there, you got all right, Tina Daskovich, Mom's
for Liberty and what a fantastic organization. We are going
to shift gears and talk about what's happening at City Hall,
what's happening with Teresa Thigi. I've got Ken Kober coming up.
I know you heard him a little while ago on
The Sloan Show. He'll be here to give his thoughts
on that. Chris Smithman will weigh in as well. So
all that straight ahead. Dan carroll in for Bill Cunningham

(16:44):
on seven hundred WLW. Back on the Big One, seven
hundred WLW, Dan carrollin for Bill Cunningham, the Great American
taking a few days off from what we are seeing
in City Hall right now is the inevitable result of
failed leadership. Leadership that adheres to the policies of serving

(17:06):
the masters of political correctness, wokeism and DEI diversity, equity
and inclusion. You don't have to believe me. You can
go right to the city website and you can read
the policies for yourself. So it matters not if you
go along with or believe in these policy ideas or
if you oppose these ideas, as long as you have
those at the top who insist on incorporating these ideas

(17:29):
into their policy decisions, those who must live under those decisions,
and those who must carry out those policies based on
this kind of nonsense are going to wind up paying
the price. And in this case it's the citizens who
pay through victimization. It's a citizens who gets shot and
made and killed by repeat offenders on the streets on

(17:51):
a daily basis. And now it's the citizens again who
are going to be victimized because the city is going
to wind up paying out multi time million dollar settlements.
Look at Mike Washington, decades of service with the Cincinnati
Fire Department, highly qualified to become the chief, but yet
he refused to play along. He would not serve those

(18:12):
masters of political correctness, of wokism, of dei, the masters
that demanded his acquiescence despite his own knowledge that these
things were not going to work, that they were not
going to serve the men and women of the Fire
Department well, and they were not going to serve the
citizens of the City of Cincinnati.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
So what happens Then he gets falsely accused of violating
department policies and is wrongly dismissed by the city manager.
And now he's in line for a multimillion dollar settlement
with the City of Cincinnati. Now we have the police
chief treaties. The THIGI tried to play along, tried to
appease the masters of DEI, wokeness and political correctness, tried

(18:52):
to play the game, and we saw the results. Rampant
crime running gun battles in the city of Cincinnati. People
getting their heads kicked than on national television while doing
nothing more than walking down a downtown Cincinnati street. An
absolute disgrace. And where does that get? The police chief
paid administrative leave under investigation. Her attorney, Stephen M says,

(19:18):
they've passed judgment and now they're looking for a crime.
Doesn't matter if you like the policies or not, you'll
wind up in the same place. Joining me now is
Ken coober the head of the FOP in Cincinnati. And
Ken Kobert, thanks again for being on seven hundred WLW.
And it really is an absolute disgrace the way this

(19:38):
thing is playing out right now.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Thanks for me, And you're absolutely right. I mean, it's
absolutely shameful the way that's it in thirty five years
with this police department's being treated.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
So it's not just bad for the chief, but it's
bad for the men and women who wear the uniform.
It's bad for the citizens of Cincinnati. It makes us
look like on a national level, from those who are
looking at us from the outside, it makes us look
like a clown show. I mean, I think we've all
known that we've had it going on for some time
here in the city of Cincinnati, but now with you know,

(20:11):
on the eve of an election, and someone's got to
be made to answer for problems that have not been solved.
Now they want to turn it and make it look
like the police chief was the one and as Steve
and m laid it out quite clearly this morning, this
whole notion that she is on paid administrative leave. You know,
Ken Cobra, When I saw that last night that they

(20:33):
put her on paid administrative leave, I'm thinking to myself, Well,
did she do something wrong? Did she do something? Is
there some video of her out there accepting a bribe
or treating someone badly, or doing something that she shouldn't
have been doing normally when you're on paid administrative leave?
You know, did she shoot at someone? Was there a
shooting that we don't know about. Usually there's something that

(20:57):
needs to be investigated. In this case, he's as they've
passed judgment and now they're looking for the crime.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Sure, it's a different than a policeman arresting somebody and
deciding what they're going to charge them with. Well, we'll
come up with something, I guess we'll investigate further. It's
not this works. You know the fact that this has
been going on now for nearly a week. You know,
you have a chief that's been ordered to come home
from a conference where she was representing the city of
Cincinnati the police department, and then it's asked to resign.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
If they had.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Something that that was something that they thought was worthy
of termination, why didn't they just terminate her when she
got back in town.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Instead you ask.

Speaker 5 (21:33):
Her to resign, and they're playing all these games for
the last five days. No one deserves to be treated
this way. And you wonder why we have problem with
recruitment and retention of officers in the city, And this
is exactly why. Because if they'll treat a chief of
police that has spent thirty five years here, how do
you think they're going to treat a police officer. And
that's the problem We're going to continue to have these problems.

(21:54):
Were already struggling to recruit and retain officers. This is
only going to make things worse.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Well, the only thing I can think of is that
someone must have shown the city charter to the city
manager and said, look, if you fire the police chief
without cause, we're going to be in line to to
pay out a huge settlement. So I guess maybe they
made a calculation at city Hall that this chief would

(22:18):
simply come in, have a little sit down, and then
decide to resign with whatever settlement they wanted to offer.
So I think they made a miscalculation that when dj
came back from Denver, they had their sit down and
she said, nope, I'm not going along with this, and
she heads right over to the Finny law firm, which

(22:39):
I think was a great move on her part.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Yeah, an administrative lee. Let's just call this what it is.
This is buying them time, and they're buying her silence
because she knows as long as she's still here employed,
she can't say what she wants to say, which is
what's going on for the last three years, which is
why we're in this to begin with. All those confirmed
this morning from this press conference is exactly what I've
been talking about, keeping politics out of policing. I mean,

(23:05):
there's no doubt that the things that she's done has
been because the mayor of the city managers told her
to do it, and now because of that they're going
to try to terminate her. She is more than capable
of running this Police Department. However, she's not been ever
given that ability or that opportunity. It's always been you're
going to do this or you're going to do that.
And this is exactly why we're here. And now, of

(23:26):
course I can sell on the eve of an election,
you know Prime still has and fixed a self big surprise.
Put another chief in there, doesn't matter as long as
you don't give whoever the next chief is, you have
enter in chief Henny. If they don't give the ability
to make the changes that he sees that we should make,
we're going.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
To be in the same boat.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, I want to ask you about Henny in the second,
but excuse me. During the news conference, Steven m was
asked about that particular issue as it relates to the chief,
and I believe the question was phrased along the lines,
and I'm paraphrasing here that this chief really did nothing

(24:06):
more than carry out the wishes of the city manager,
of the mayor and tried to do things along the
lines of what she was told. So she tried, she tried,
I think, for as long as she could to play
that game to have the Cincinnati Police Department fall in
line with these ridiculous ideas that are laid out. I mean,

(24:28):
then you can see him for yourself the way they
wanted to handle policing within the city. And then once
we got the results, and we saw those results played
out on our television sets night in and night out,
and then of course we made national news when we
had that beat down on the streets of Cincinnati. The
political heat gets turned up, and then they've got to

(24:49):
find someone else to blame for their own incompetence and
their own poor ideas. I don't think it really amounts
to anything more than that. And she tried to do
just tried to do exactly what they told her to do.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Yeah, and that just did And that's the end result
of the issue five and not having a chief that
has really any protection you know from a city you know,
the mayor or the city manager. You know, that has
long since gone and was voted on in two thousand
and one, and we're still seeing effects of it. We
saw the effects of it when James Craig was here.

(25:25):
He refused to bow down to the pressure of city
Hall and city Council, and they kept him there for
two years and said, ye that it's notime for you
to go and this is no different. The difference is
now is she's tried to do what they tell her
to do and it's been a bysmal failure because crime
is still going through the roof because of these policies
that the mayor and the city manager wanted wanted her
to follow if she did, and the end result is

(25:47):
we're going to try to terminate you for doing what
we told you to do, which makes absolute no sense.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, how many times have we heard from leadership in
this city, from council members, from the mayor, the council
members of council, city manager talking to the rank and
file of the Cincinnati Police Department telling them that this discouncil,
this leadership has your back, We have your back. We
know we want you to go out represent the city. Well,

(26:13):
do you know, do your best by the people of
this city, and we've got your back. So when when
you hear city leaders say that, how does that jive
with the reality of the situation that we're seeing right now, Well, they.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Say that, but the caveat with that is, look, we
gave we just gave you five million dollars. We support you, confusing, confusing,
throwing money at a problem and saying that that support
is just that's very misguided. Uh, you know, support is
these cops don't want extra over time. We're they're up
to their ears in it to begin with. What cops
want or to know that they can go out and

(26:46):
they can do their job without fear of some kind
of political persecution.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
And that's the problem is nobody believes it.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
No cop believes from city Hall that they're actually going
to support them if something happens. And that's that's ultimately
that that is something that is dangerous for the city.
And I don't know how you said. Quite honestly, I
don't know if at this point it's fixible until there's
a new administration.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
You know, we talked about it, you know, all the
times I've had you on, all the times you've been
on this radio station. We talk about all the all
the components of this equation. You've got to have police
that go out and do the right thing. You've got
to have prosecutors that get tough on criminals. You've got
to have a judicial system. You've got to have judges

(27:32):
that stop giving repeat offenders a slap on the wrist.
And you know, when you've got people out on the
street that shouldn't be out there are cutting off ankle
monitors and going and killing innocent people. And you've got
people that wind up who have multiple felony offenses, weapons
under disability, that wind up on the street committing crimes
time after time after time. We all these all these

(27:56):
components need to work together. And steven enpoint it out
during his news conference today that this mayor and the
leadership at city Hall refuses to try to do anything
to make that happen. So I don't know if it
would work or not. The mayor can't control the judges,
but the mayor can certainly try and wield some influence

(28:19):
with them and say, look, we're doing our part over
here as the people who run the police department to
get our police out there making arrests, doing the right things,
trying to stop crying. And you've got to help us out,
Madam prosecutor, You've got to help us out. Judge X,
Y and Z. You can't keep letting these people go.

(28:41):
But none of those kind of conversations apparently ever take place.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Let me take some words a quote from the mayor
last week is that all things are on the table,
All things are on the table as long as it's
comfortable for him, because not once as he ever spoke
out publicly about demanding that judges hold people. Not once
I've asked him about this last year. I know the
Chief have done the same thing. They refuses to do it.

(29:08):
So while he may not have any authority over them,
it's pretty telling when you have a mayor of a
Cincinnati that says, look at the time, for these judges
to hold these people, you are making this dangerous. You
don't have to call them out by name. So anybody
can go and search the website and search the internet
and they can find out what the judges that are
causing this are. You know, I bring it to the

(29:28):
attention all the time on social media. You don't have
to call anybody else specifically. What you should be doing
is saying publicly we need judges to do their part,
and he refuses to.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
So tell me about Chief Henny, what Adam Henny? What
can you tell me about an assistant chief? And now
I guess acting Chief Adam Henny.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
That he's been here for twenty six years, the veteran
of the Navy. I actually worked for him when I
was in the Central Business Section. Fantastically. It was a
great captain. You know, he's been in charge of our
civil Disturbance Response team, he's in charge of our SWAT team.
I genuinely believe that he is here to make changes

(30:11):
that are going to make officers job easier, that are
going to make them safer, that are going to make
the community. For what I call into question isn't his ability,
it's is he going to be able to do what
needs to be done to make changes? And if they
give him full authority and control, there's absolutely this will
be a safer place. But you could say the same

(30:32):
thing about Chief Fiji. If she was given full authority
of control over this department, there would be good changes
that are made. So while I certainly I think the
world of Colonel Henney, it's still going to be yet
to be seen as is the city going to allow
him to do what needs to be done, because if
they do, this still be a safer place. But like
I said, it's the same way with Chief Fiji. Until

(30:54):
something changes at City Hall, nothing is going to change
throughout the city.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I'm just going to make that point. If the
policies from the top don't change, I don't know anything
on the streets and anything in real life is going
to change. Ken Cober, As you look at this situation
right now and it is an absolute mess. What do
you think the best case scenario is for the police department,
for the citizens of Cincinnati, for the for the voters,

(31:23):
attack payers of Cincinnati and Hamilton County? What do you
think the best case scenario is moving forward?

Speaker 5 (31:31):
You know, and this is just my opinion, is simply
a police officer, a union leader. The damage is done
with the chief. My suggestion would be to make her hole.
Whatever that looks like, don't know, certainly not part of
that conversation, don't want to be part of it. But
I've told council members this over the last couple of days.
Figure out what you get to do to make her whole,
do it very very quickly. In this police department need

(31:52):
to move on. That's the reality. I told the chief
last night when I talked to her, I wouldn't want
to come back here if they offered it to the
way that she's been treated is absolutely just disrespectful. In
my opinion, it's beyond repair. So the city needs to
step up, do the right thing. Rip the band aid off,
do whatever you have to do to satisfy Chief Fiji,

(32:14):
let her retire, let her go enjoy retirement, and let
this police department move forward.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Well, hopefully something like that will happen and we can
step into a new era. But as long as the
people of the people of Cincinnati, the people who cast
their votes, and again we talked about at the top,
we are on the eve of an election, and the
early voting has already started. So the people who cast

(32:39):
their votes, the people who can really make a difference
in the city of Cincinnati, are the ones who are
going to have to step up here and not let
this go unexcused. It is an absolute travesty that someone
with the record and the longevity I mean, I mean really,
in reality, what she got thirty four, thirty four years

(33:01):
on the job something like that, is that day was
her thirty fifth anniversary. So in reality, what she got
left ano the two years, another three years, maybe four
it the most maybe she works, you know, makes it
a forty year career. So with with with her already
seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, that
her career comes to an end this way is just

(33:24):
it's inexcusable that this is this is going down the
way it is, Ken Kobra, I'll give you the last word.
We gotta we gotta run.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
No.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Like I said, they need to make the chief right.
No one deserves to be treated this way. The citizens
deserve to know who's going to be in charge of
this department in the future. And with all this hanging
in the balance, we have an arm chief. They've got
to figure this out. They need to figure it out quickly.
Make chief cigi hoole whatever that looks like, and let's
move on. The citizens deserve better.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Ken Cobert, you're the best. Keep up the great work.
These are tough times and I appreciate you coming on
all the time that you that you spend coming on
talking about these issues. Ken, Thank you very much and
we'll talk to you again. So come good.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
All right, there you go, Ken kober the head of
the FOP joining me after the news Top of the Hour,
Chris Mithman, we'll weigh in on this as well. You
cannot serve the masters of political correctness, of wokeism, of
dei and expect different results than we have right now.
Twelve fifty five. Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW.

(34:39):
Hi'm a big one seven hundred WLW. It's one o
eight Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham. And we have
the specter now of the Chief of Police luring up
with the Finny Law Firm. Who look, when it comes
to the idea of City Hall facing off with the
Finny Law firm, that is not a good proposition for

(35:01):
city Hall. The Finny Law Firm and Steven m have
just run roughshot over City Hall and they continue to
do so. And Chief Fiji could not have put better
attorneys on her side. And let me read to you
from the City of Cincinnati website and the city's official

(35:21):
statement and commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion is expressed through
its Municipal Code, citywide policies, and the work of the
Department of Economic Inclusion DEI and other departments. The City's
Official Equity Statement emphasizes fostering inclusivity, diversity and equity, and
community engagement for building trust, collaboration, and achieving outcomes that

(35:43):
benefit everyone. The Municipal Code prohibits discrimination in housing, employment,
and public combination. That's all great. The Department of Economic
Inclusion aims to ensure economic opportunity for everyone. Uh, A
community engagement policy was established to ensure clear and inclusive communications.
That's all great, but how's it working out? How are

(36:07):
these policies working out? How are the Cincinnati police policies
of building on? Here's the act for Cincinnati, Achieving change
together in Cincinnati builds on a public health approach to
violence prevention, focusing on addressing the root causes of violence
through proactive strategies. How's that working out? This is a

(36:31):
statement that was put out October thirteenth, twenty five. So
this is this is current policy. Community problem oriented policing
a policing strategy that seeks resolution of troublesome circumstances framed
as a problem to solve. Problems are carefully analyzed and

(36:54):
a wide variety of solutions are considered, often involving non
police agencies as part partners. Well, how's that working out? Scanning, analyzing,
and responsing assessing a strategic and data informed process that
helps us better understand why problems repeat? Why do problems repeat?

(37:17):
Is it because repeat offenders continuously go through the revolving
door of the justice center and wind up back on
the streets to cause even more murder and mayhem. Seems
pretty simple to me. Seems pretty simple that the policies
that you have that serve the masters, and this is

(37:43):
what I'm calling it, serving the masters of DEI, serving
the masters of wokeness, serving the masters of political correctness,
have brought us to where we are today. And I
talked about it before. Mike Washington, the fire chief, didn't
want to go along with that. So what did he

(38:04):
get for his trouble? He gets his name smeared and
he gets fired for his trouble. Now he's going to
wind up probably with a seven at least a seven,
maybe an eight figure settlement that's going to come from
the City of Cincinnati. And when I say the City
of Cincinnati, that means people who pay taxes in the

(38:24):
City of Cincinnati. That's where that money comes. That money
comes out of your pocket. That is what this city
administration has brought to you. Now you just heard Ken
Kober talk about the police chief Teresa Thiji. How can
she possibly go back to being the police chief of
Cincinnati after all this? So his suggestion, best case scenario

(38:48):
moving forward, make the chief hole. And making the chief
hole is going to require probably a seven figure settlement,
maybe an eight figure settlement. Who knows. The longer this
goes on, the bigger and bigger the numbers get, and
that's going to be the City of Cincinnati paying out

(39:12):
large sums of money. This is failed leadership, failed leadership
at the top and again on the eve of an election,
and they're trying to make it look as if the
police chief was the one that thought or were the
one who was at fault. And Chris Smitheman joins us
now and Chris Smitheman, what an absolute mess we are

(39:34):
seeing at city Hall and an absolute disgrace the way
this police chief is being treated by the administration.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I mean, Dan Carroll, you can't set it up any better.
We're in the middle of a tight race, We're two
weeks out. We have a mayor who has clearly concerned
he's probably looking at a poll that speculation. To you
listening audience, I don't like to say things that I know,
but I know that these campaigns go out there, they
do polls, and you know, crime is a number one issue.

(40:09):
Whether we're in an African American neighborhood or whether a
predominantly African American neighborhood or we're in a predominantly white neighborhood.
Everybody's saying the same thing. They're scared to come out
of their house. They don't want to come downtown. You know,
crime is the number one issue. This is a nonpartisan issue.
It's not about Democrat Republican independence. It's about common sense.
And people are tired of getting robbed these low level crimes,

(40:31):
and they're tired of seeing people get killed every other
day in the streets. And remember Dan Carroll, the mayor,
has been saying that Cincinnati has been safe and that
we're having a perception issue. This was prior to the
two shootings, one off Fountains Swear one on Found Square.
So why would you why would you need to fire

(40:54):
your police chief if you're saying crime is down and
you and I are just having a perception issue, is
not reality? Mean, your your police chief is batman and
that person obviously is doing a good job. So she's
clearly blindfided. And I just want to lift up the
Neville family because they deserve it. They've given us two

(41:14):
hundred and forty two years of their service to our
community as a peace officers. They have young people now
who have joined the forest all over the city, in
the county with another fifty years. So it's not an
exaggeration when I say this family has two hundred and
ninety two years of service as all peace officers and
you have a mayor from Dayton. This is our problem.

(41:37):
You've done this. You know this guy is disconnected from
our community and walks in and tell and tells the
police chief Dan Carroll, that has nothing in her record
now want nothing, nothing, no bad citation in her entire
career of thirty five years. This is absolutely diabolical and

(41:57):
I feel really bad. This is a scapegoat kind of
move on his part. It shows you how the mayor
is more interested in his political career. But at the
end of the day, this comes down to the jury,
which are the voters, Dan Carroll. We have an election
on November the fourth, and voter turnout is incredibly low.
Like I don't think I'm exaggerating. I don't think we've

(42:17):
broke twenty percent. Let's just say we're at fifteen percent.
Maybe you'll have somebody on for the BOE to kind
of say, hey, this is where we are. But we
know the apathy is there tremendously. What we need are
places like the West Side, places like Hyde Park and
Mount Lookout as examples. These are just three Devil's Bond
Hill rolls down everything, all of them to get their

(42:40):
families out to participate in the political process. Because the
elections have consequences. What kind of message does it send
in our end here by saying at the end of
this election, Dan Carroll is if people come back and
the same people our council are elected, this mayor is
re elected, you just literally empowered. Then you don't becomes

(43:01):
the tenured member as a mayor, meaning he's never gonna
run again to be the mayor. He's in his he
gets a four of fresh four years. He's not running
for reelection. That is that's very dangerous for Hyde Park
if they're listening to me and listening to us, because
he doesn't have to he doesn't have to do anything.
He's clearly said it doesn't matter what the fifty two

(43:21):
neighborhoods say, whether it's connect communities or whether this project
here in Hyde Park and what his failure has been,
meaning the buck stops with him. I'm just going to
try to use very career language a mayor who's trying
to push this off to the police chief as terrible leadership.
He's the strong mayor. We voted for a strong mayor.

(43:42):
We have a city manager there, she's the CEO. And
at the end of the day, both of them decide
they're going to fire the police chief, use her as
escapegoat going into the election saying it's her problem and
it's her fault. I just say, Daddy, Carroll, this is
really bad. I've never seen it this bad. Never. I'm
talking about collectively, as a council and a mayor and

(44:04):
a manager. Collectively, I've never seen it in my history.
I was born, raised in Cincinnati, been here my whole life,
almost lived in the same neighborhood my whole life, and
I've never seen it as bad.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Chris Bellvin, It's gross and competence. It's failed leadership. It's
trying to adhere to these policies of wokeness and DEI
and political correctness, and it really it is all these
things run am up, and it winds up being a
disgraceful final chapter for someone who should have been able

(44:38):
to go out in a way a lot more dignified
than working for these clowns at city Hall. Her attorney
said Steven m said she did. She didn't do anything
more than try to carry out the orders and the
wishes of those political individuals who were her superiors, her bosses,

(44:58):
and she tried to care out as best she could
walk that fine line between the nonsense that they want
her to engage in and doing the real police work,
the hard police work, the police work that isn't pretty,
that needs to be done on a regular basis. And
for her efforts, this is what she gets.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
We are.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
So on one hand, you've got Mike Washington, who wouldn't
go along with the nonsense that came out of City Hall.
He gets, he gets his name smeared, he gets fired.
Now he's in line for a multi million dollar settlement.
Now we have the police chief who tried to play along,
who tried to do what, you know, what was good
for the police and good for the people at city Hall.

(45:42):
And they both wind up in the exact same place.
What does that tell you? What does that tell you
about the policies that we have at city Hall?

Speaker 4 (45:50):
Boy, I'll shake in my head. You have laid it out,
and just think about what the frontline officers are thinking
today in this chaos you know, like, this is how
you treat the police chief after thirty five years? What
are you going to do to me? And I've only
got two to five years and I'm still on probation.
I'm a new officer, you know. And this is a

(46:10):
Neville family that they dedicated their life and you and
I both know proactive policing would resolve this, right, but
they've hired a consultant, right, they've empowered that consultant. I
want to state clearly that it was the mayor who
told the governor, I don't need you, meaning governor might

(46:31):
divine Andy Wilson. This is the criminal Justice director for
the governor. Have all said since may we see the spike,
we would like to help. And it wasn't the mayor,
it wasn't the police chief, and it wasn't even the
city manager. It was the mayor through politics. He's a Republican.

(46:51):
I don't want to work with the Republican. This is
what I try to tell the public. Looks, once the
election is over, you got to roll your sleeves up
and you got to get stuff done. You gotta work.
Is this not about who's a Republican or German? We
got to do what's best for the people. This mayor
kept telling the governor, I don't need your help. I
don't need your help. And so now they're only you

(47:13):
using the governor four times a month. Right. The reality
was is we've lost a lot of people because we
have not engaged the governor and his assets. We have
it engaged our sheriff. We haven't engaged our prosecutors, our judges.
You know, we just our atf I'm telling you, Dan Carroll,

(47:33):
when I served as the vice mayor of the city
since night John Cranley assembled every law enforcement arm including reentry,
including the Urban League, including the Cincinnati NAACP. We all
came around the table. We said, here are the ten
or twenty bad guys. I mean, these are the people
that we got to get by name. We know where

(47:55):
they are and we put a plan together to go
find them a rest them. Right. It's like, it's not
like everybody around here is committing crime. We have repeat offenders.
We have a problem with the judges who keep letting
people out. Are cops are arresting. But Fiji Chief Fiji
could not do her job, which is what you're saying,

(48:15):
because you had a mayor and a manager and in
my opinion, a consultant who is pushing defunds, reimagine federal oversight.
And our officers out there are not able to do
the proactive policing that they need, and now they're using
her as a scapegoat because this mayor is concerned about
his reelection. Everybody, please listen, show up and vote. This

(48:38):
is you're in the jury box. It's your decision right now.
It's in your hands. November the fourth, make sure your
children who are away at college. Make sure that your
adult children who might be living with you or live
somewhere else in the city of Cincinnati, make sure that
they are fully locked and loaded. We cannot have in
High Park sixteen thousand registered voters. And fourth that people

(49:00):
show up. That is not You've got to turn out
the vote, Dan Carroll. And and by the way, the
elections have consequences. Brother, so we if we don't show up,
who's responsible for all of this? We are? I mean,
at the end of the day, it reflects on our leadership.
If we don't show up and participate, you are the man,

(49:21):
Dan Carroll, because there are very few people. Please listen.
This is this voice, Dan Carroll, This station is critical
to our community right now in getting the truth out
about the corruption that is happening at city Hall. Here's
what I will tell you. The speculation is, I speculate
that the mayor called the manager and said, if you

(49:43):
don't fire her, I'm going to fire you. Because the
mayor can serve the manager up to council, he's the
only one that can do it and get seven votes.
The manager should have said, go for it. I don't
think you have the seven votes to me. But that's
not what happened. This manager buckled, most likely under that

(50:04):
kind of call and that kind of pressure and says,
you know what, it's my job or her job. I'm
gonna throw her under the bus. Well, we've got a
major problem downtown with this kind of leadership, and we
could change it. On November the fourth, Dan Carroll, Chris.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
S Mitherman, we saw this coming a couple of weeks ago,
that the police chief was going to be teed up.
We didn't know what was going to play out the
way it's playing out. It's an absolute mess. And again
it's just more of the failed leadership that we've seen
at Cincinnati City Hall. And Chris Smitherman. I want to
thank you for taking the time.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Thank you, no no, no, I'm running crazy and I
was late coming on through demand, Dan Carroll, and I
want to thank you so much for allowing me to
have a voice in his most important time to weigh in.
And I want the Neville family, I want Chief DG
to know that their voices out here who appreciate their
service to our community and are standing with them push

(50:56):
back on this council. I love when the lawyer said,
I'm still the chief, she's still the cheap You're not
going to be able to push me out and hurt
my career and my reputation like this. So thank you
so much.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Yeah, they thought she would acquiesce, and they made a
bad calculation there, and now it's going to it's going
to come back to bite him, and then the thing
is going to come back to bite the taxpayers because
there's going to be millions of dollars that that wind
up flowing out the door because of this. Chris Smitherman,
you're the best. We'll talk to you again soon.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Bra I appreciate your thank you.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
All Right, there you go here, the one and only
Chris Smithman. I do want to thank him for weighing it.
It's one twenty five. We got to get to a
break news coming up at the bottom of the hour.
Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 7 (51:36):
If they keep going away to go on, I don't
know what's going happen in our city. Oh hello, hello,
buyet and I'm broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Seg We have an absolute mess going on in city
hall right now, that's for sure. And when and I
want to know what what you're going to do about it.

Speaker 8 (52:01):
Let the police chief be the police chief. That's all
I got to say. You know, they better do our job.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
They talk about that they want to they want to
build a public health approach to violence prevention. What the
hell does that mean? I have no idea that they
want to They want to focus on addressing the root
causes of violence through proactive strategies. What the hell does
that mean? I have no idea. You know, they probably
paid some consultant hundreds of thousands of dollars to say

(52:28):
those big words and put it on What do you
think it is? They want a policing strategy and I'm
reading this right off the Cincinnati website, all right. They
want a policing strategy that seeks resolution of troublesome circumstances
framed as problems to solve. What the hell does that mean?
I have no idea. How about how about you go out,
you arrest the bad guys and you lock them up?

Speaker 4 (52:49):
Right?

Speaker 7 (52:50):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (52:51):
It doesn't seem a lot more complicated than that does?

Speaker 4 (52:53):
No?

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Nope, but yet that but yet they got to make
the police chief look like the bad guy, right and
say that he look, he's doing her job and he's
a scapegoat. Yeah, paid administrative leave and under investigation, and
Steve and m of the f and the lost the
Finny Law law firm is just teating up the city.

Speaker 8 (53:18):
Just at press conference, was like, oh, just chewing them
up alive. Yeah, they've already passed judgment. Now they're trying
to find the crime. Right, Is that the way it's
supposed to work?

Speaker 1 (53:27):
I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't either.
I mean they're doing it.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
Do you know what?

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Backwards? Absolutely crazy, crazy, absolute clown. That's a guy we
need right there?

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Chas Luken come in, Supreme City Commander. That's it. Well, Charlie,
everybody else out council everything charge of the money right now.

Speaker 7 (53:47):
I saw, I saw, he knows what the hell you're
talking about.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
I saw two people on council last night. I don't

Dodgers and Blue Jays World Series Game one in Toronto
on Friday night.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Now, I saw on my social media today, Uh huh,
someone posted that. I think it was Audie. He said,
David Bell, who has led the Blue Jays to the
World Series.

Speaker 8 (55:02):
Well, he's vice president of Baseball Operations as assistant general manager,
so he's had a hand in.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
So has he led them well to the World Series?
I would say that he's one of them. He can
lead the Blue Jays to the World Series. Why couldn't
he lead the Reds to the World Series.

Speaker 8 (55:17):
He's had a year in Toronto, and look what happens
there in the series. Jeff Hoffman as a former Reds
pitcher who is here in twenty one and twenty two.

three this, Afternoon Dan carroll in for The Great American
Bill cunningham taking a few days. Off AND i have
to ADMIT i am a sucker WHENEVER i get on the,
computer which is you know every day WHEN i prepare
for these radio shows AND i turn to my browser

(01:04:20):
and you get all these stories that pop up on
your news, feed and a lot of them talk about
what's going on in the. Universe i'm a sucker for that.
STUFF i, mean and BECAUSE i click on AND i
know a lot of them are, clickbait but BECAUSE i
click on them AND i like to. READ i like
to read About, SATURN i like to read about black,
holes AND i like to read about what's going, on you,
know the comparison of our our galaxy or our solar

(01:04:43):
system to the rest of the. UNIVERSE i love to
read about that kind of. Stuff and then WHEN i
read that tonight there's going to be an occurrence that
not going to happen again in thirteen hundred, YEARS i
got to talk about that. Too and when it's time
to talk about, that we turn to our, Buddie Dean
Regas Astro dean is the Website astronomer to The. Stars

(01:05:05):
Dean regus And Dean, regus it's great to have you
back on the. Show how the heck are?

Speaker 9 (01:05:08):
You oh doing? Great happy to be with, you. Guys
i'm calling in from The Grand. Canyon i'm out here
doing some astronomy with them and at the. PARKS i
do that a couple of times a. Year it's just
gorgeous weather out. Here but always happy to talk to you.
Guys In cincinnati about what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
SPACE i know you had to you had to come
up from the bottom of The Grand canyon just be
able to make a phone. Call so that's.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
That's.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
RIGHT i don't think they have any elevators out, there do.
They you gotta you gotta hike. MAN i gotta call seven.
HUNDRED i gotta be on the radio With Dan. CARROLL
i gotta find a find a signal for my. Phone
it's going to be, unbelievable but it's uh, NO i.

Speaker 9 (01:05:46):
Was it's always you, know when you come back up
from the bottom of The Grand canyon and your phone
they have all these. TEXTS i was, Like Dan, carroll all,
right we're gonna be talking. Space this is good BECAUSE
i know you love this.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
STUFF i.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
DO i do love this. Stuff are you like? Me
are you a sucker for that? Stuff when you when
you click on your computer and you, see oh my,
god they found the biggest black hole lever And i'm, like,
well where's that one? At and then you, know and
THEN i mean all that. Stuff do you click on
that kind of stuff too and read that LIKE i?

Speaker 9 (01:06:12):
DO i, do, unfortunately and it gets me every. Time
and you most of them are non stories or you,
know LIKE i always think THAT i have to like
bring people down AND i call myself the buzzkill astronomer
sometimes because of stories that come through that sound really.
Good AND i hate to say, it but you found

(01:06:33):
some more here about this this comet or comments there's
two comets up in the. Sky, yeah that are, there
but good luck seeing. Them there's one comic Called, lemon
another one Called, swan and so they're both up in the.
Sky now the tricky part, is and, people this is
where they get, you is that they show all these

(01:06:54):
great pictures that people have been. Taken and so both
of these comets are definitely definitely not visible for the naked.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Eye.

Speaker 9 (01:07:01):
Man you need you need a special. Telescope you got
to get your, camera you got to have some, expertise
and so that's where all these pictures are. Coming and so,
yeah it's another one of Those sure you're not going
to see this one particular comet for thousands of, years
but to be, honest you're not going to see that comet.
Anyway you need a. Telescope so that was.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
One it got.

Speaker 9 (01:07:24):
Me so people have been reading about the comets in the.
Sky these are not terribly bright, Unfortunately so that's the
downside of that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
One, well, SEE i was hooked into that Because i'm, thinking,
man how cool is? That see in one comet is
a cool, thing But i'm thinking seeing two in the
same sky at the same time is something that is.
Unbelievable BUT i did See Dean reguez where there is
a YouTube channel that you can tune into and you

(01:07:52):
can see them on some YouTube. Channel is something like
that even worth the?

Speaker 9 (01:07:56):
Effort, well that's pretty cool, too, like because what people
can do is they can set up these telescopes with
these cameras on, it and you could get these these,
uh these type of telescopes relatively cheaply. Nowadays so people
have these uh this ability to like you, know it'll,
track it'll take long exposure photographs and so then you

(01:08:18):
can get some really cool looking pictures with not a
lot of. Money these are these new telescopes are called
Uh enhanced astronomy OR, EA i think that's what they
usually abbreviate. It so you don't put your eye up
to the ipiece and they just are built in cameras
and so well anybody can do that and then.

Speaker 7 (01:08:37):
Yeah put on.

Speaker 9 (01:08:38):
YouTube so for folks in the field and the astronomy,
fuel we're a little bit unsure about this new. Technology
AND i hate to be Like i'm a grumpy old astronomer.
Too back in my day we used to draw pictures
of what we saw in the. Telescope. Uh but it's
it's it's almost, cheating but it is really. Cool, well

(01:09:00):
and it allows people with you, know just the soul's
gonna be PLoP it. Down you, say go to Comet,
lemon and it'll go to it and it's uh uh you.
Know so it's really cool if people can do.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
That.

Speaker 9 (01:09:12):
Uh and so that's probably your best bet at seeing
the comments is watching it on on? YouTube is?

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
It is it Called lemon because that's the name of
the observatory that that.

Speaker 9 (01:09:23):
Discovered, yeah the discovers that one a good. QUESTION i
don't know because a lot of them are are sky,
surveys Like swan is a sky, survey and probably people
have heard of this. One THREE I Atlas atlas is
another sky. Survey SO i DON'T i Think lemon might
actually be a, person But i'm not sure that. ONE i, oh,

(01:09:44):
well could be from the. Observatory, yeah that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Makes more, sense all, right now all, right, now so
the comets are probably going to be a bust tonight
if you go out looking for. Them but what about this?
One what about the the the orioned meteor shower as
we pass through the tale Of Haley's.

Speaker 9 (01:10:01):
Yeah so that is the, uh that's the really good one,
Though so that is probably the highlight of the, month
is The irian in media. Shower so this is what's
caused By halle's. Comment and we can't really See holle's
comment till it comes back around again in twenty sixty.
One but maybe folks at home remember when they saw

(01:10:22):
it in nineteen eighty. SIX i was a little, kid
AND i was, like, yeah, okay comment pretty, good but
maybe before remember. That but The orion And metea shower
is caused by, that the tale left behind By holle's.
Comment we run into it every year About october twenty,
first twenty, second and so that creates this great shooting
stars show up in the sky called The. Oriyonids SO

(01:10:45):
i went out last night to look for, him because
last night was technically the, peak but at last a
couple of days and, YEAH i got to see a
couple shooting stars. THERE i had a group up here
at The Grand. Canyon we were watching, stars and everybody's
going and on while looking up. There so tonight you
have a second chance to go for. It best time

(01:11:07):
is after midnight to really be, looking but you might
see some strays earlier, on but, Definitely, yeah that one's
one of the cooler ones where you can see maybe
ten to twenty shooting stars per hour or something.

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
Around.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Yeah, well, WELL i think you have more of an
advantage if you live out. WEST i at least live
in the high desert Of, california and so you've got
the you, know the horizon that it's really far away out,
there and you're away from a lot of light, pollution
and there's so much more sky to look out in
that part of the. Country AND i used to see,

(01:11:42):
YEA i used to see shooting stars all the. Time
it was not unusual to be out, nine, ten eleven
o'clock at night and you could just be glancing up
at the sky and you'd see something streaking across the.
Sky you see a lot more of them out there
than you do Around.

Speaker 9 (01:11:55):
Absolutely, absolutely and on any given night you can see
a shooting. Star if you're out there long, enough you
know the earth that will. Run we'll run into stuff
a lot of the, time and all of it burns,
Up almost all of it burns up before it hits the.
Ground so you see that shooting star going across the
sky and it looks like it's bright fireball or something like.
That generally, speaking it's the material that's causing that about

(01:12:17):
the size of a grain of, sand and so it
burns up really quickly and hardly ever hits the. Ground
so it's only those rare occasions where you get a
really big enough one that will survive the fiery plunge
through the atmosphere actually hit the, ground and then you
got yourself a. Meteorite and those are incredibly rare.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
Things.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Yeah the other Stuff i've been reading a lot about
AND i see articles all the time about The northern
lights and they, say, oh my, god there was a
giant cme from the sun coronal mass, ejection and it's
on the way To, earth and you might be able
to see The northern lights as far south As kentucky
or you, know you can see him In indiana or
something like. That And i'm, Thinking, wow we're going to

(01:12:58):
be able to see it here In, cincinnati but it
seems like that hardly ever comes to pass when stuff
like that. Happens.

Speaker 9 (01:13:05):
Too oh, yeah it is super rare to see The northern.
Lights we were really lucky to see them twice last
year From. Cincinnati so in twenty twenty four we had
the night Of may tenth we had The Northern lights
visible From, cincinnati and Then october. Tenth and because the
sun's kind of at a maximum activity, level that's what

(01:13:27):
causes These northern, lights is these eruptions to shoot off
the surface and interact with our upper upper. Atmosphere and
so there have been some other close. Calls they've been
some like warnings, say oh we've got a blast coming our,
way but so, far nothing really this year that's kind
of stood out unless you're really far. North so people

(01:13:48):
In michigan got to see some earlier in the, year
but nothing far enough to see this far. South but
probably the best place to go for info on that
is a website called Space, weathered and they kind of
list what's going on in the, sun get to give you,
alerts that kind of. Thing but it can happen even
when there's no warnings. TOO i was out here In

(01:14:11):
arizona last last fall In, september AND i was at
The Grand canyon and doing a talk and somebody was
like interrupted me and, said what's that behind? You AND
i looked behind you and there's this reddish glow and
so we get to see the northern lights In arizona
in The Grand. CANYON i mean that that's how rare this,

(01:14:33):
happened mean once every ten years has. Happened so it's
so we'll cross our. Fingers hopefully we'll get another show
In cincinnati this. Year.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Hopefully, yeah you got to. Hope i'm looking at your,
Website Dean, reguez And i'm seeing upcoming events and you've Got,
Saturn lord of The. Rings what is that? About?

Speaker 4 (01:14:51):
Oh, Well.

Speaker 9 (01:14:52):
Saturn this Is saturn, season that's for, sure because it's
come around the closest. Approach so people can see that
up in the sky right after dark and get a
telescope on. It you can actually see the rings Of.
Saturn they're really edge on right, now so they're kind of.
Skinny it looks like a ball with a stick through.
It but when you See saturn through a, telescope it's

(01:15:13):
one of those things where you just it's really mind
blowing to see this little. World and So i'm doing
a talk out here In arizona at The, flagstaff The
Low observatory And, Flagstaff arizona On thursday About, saturn and
then we're going to go out to the telescopes and
look at. It but anybody that has a backyard, telescope

(01:15:35):
this is a really good time to be looking for For.
Saturn it's in the southeastern. Sky once you get a
telescope on, it it's. Amazing is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
It is it possible to see the rings with the
naked eye If saturn's in the right.

Speaker 9 (01:15:49):
Position, no that one is a little bit Beyond nathan eye.
Vision there's AND i know a few astronomers with some
crazy ice sight like to twenty ten vision and that
kind Of some astronomers can See venus goes through phases
and they can see the phase Of venus with naked,
eye WHICH i need a telescope you'll. See and some

(01:16:11):
people can see the moons Of jupiter with their naked,
eye like super rare occasion that people can see. This
but the rings of saddern nobody THAT i know of.
Has everybody will see them with their naked, eye but
you don't need a lot of, magnification maybe about twenty
power thirty power that would be probably good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
To actually make it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Out here's another QUESTION i got for. You i've seen
people that have those apps on their, phone and you
go out at night and you pull this app up
and you point wherever you're. Standing you can point the
app at a piece of sky and the app will
tell you what is in the view of that at
what you're looking, At so you can point it over.
Here you can point to the, west and you can

(01:16:56):
turn to the north and point it that way and
see what and it tells you what you're looking. At
are those apps? Worth are? They are they? Good do
you know anything about Those are they worth putting on your?
Phone if you're interested in that kind of?

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
Stuff?

Speaker 9 (01:17:08):
Oh, MAN i hate those apps so. Much they're trying
to put me out of.

Speaker 4 (01:17:11):
Business.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Dan they work, though, Right is that what you're telling they?

Speaker 4 (01:17:17):
Do?

Speaker 9 (01:17:17):
YEAH i, Know i'm just joking with, You, dan but,
yeah they are pretty. Amazing, yeah you can get any
of these.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
APPS i just hold an app could never be as
entertaining as you. Are so there you.

Speaker 4 (01:17:28):
Go that's.

Speaker 9 (01:17:28):
RIGHT i, Hope, Yeah, YEAH i hope THEY i hope
they continue to have some glitches every once in a
while just so that people will think fondly of me
and Holy dean was, Here but, no they do really
work very. Well so, yeah anywhere you, are you get a,
signal you can uh aim your phone up at the.
Sky i'll tell you what you're pointed. At it is pretty.
Cool and, uh there's some that are better than. Others

(01:17:54):
but the if people ask which one would you, GET
i would say they all do very similar, Things so
get the cheapest one because there's not much more bills
and whistles and, yeah you're pointing and it tells you what.
