Speaker 1 (00:09):
Five O five.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A fifty by KRC The Talk Days and Happy Friday, say, well.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
It was a vacation.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
There it is. You know it's Friday when they get
the woohoo from Executiveroducer Joe's tracker got Joe, thank you
very much. Got your Christmas shopping done? Joe. You've got
a lot of Christmas shopping to do. Almost done. That's good.
Got finished mine yesterday.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Anyway, Happy Friday. I love my Fridays and a freelom
and a Friday mood. I'm sort of already feeling in
a holiday mood. Wednesdays in the last day of the
year again, I'm looking forward to having Rob Rider in
the studio with his guitar. We'll be singing some Christmas tunes.
Release hee will you don't want me to send Christmas
tunes and celebrate the holiday spirit. Get that going and
as we move on and enjoy Christmas time. I hope

(01:09):
you will enjoy Christmas time anyway. I hope you'll enjoy today.
Two In the fifty five Carssey Morning Show, it is Friday,
which means we get tech Friday. Dave Hatter from Interest
It we're gonna be talking about the one gadget that
can give China backdoor into the United States power grid.
Oh good, one gadget AI toys for kids, they talk

(01:29):
about sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points. I think,
wasn't it last week he said don't get your kids
artificial intelligence toys. Here's another reason why. And finally, topic
number three, Webster's Word of the Year slop a solop slop.
You might have your own idea about what that is,
but what is it and what does it mean? Obviously

(01:51):
it relates to techt least I presume so, given that
it is a subject of Tech Friday with Dave Hatter
Congressman Warren Davidson coming up at seven oh five, we'll
talk about health. Epstein files around the list. I know
the Democrats released a whole bunch of photographs the other day,
and after reviewing what was reported on those photographs, it's
like nothing to see here? Is this a big nothing burger?

(02:13):
I keep going back to the fact that since nobody
really released anything that was that implicated anybody so far,
somebody on one political side of the political ledger or
the other, if they had goods on the opposite side.
Considering these things have been floating around behind the scenes
for a while. I would imagine you and I would
have seen them by now, but what do I know. Anyhow,
that'll be a topic with Warren Davidson. Maybe he'll have

(02:35):
a information about that specific point plus inflation rates. They
came in lower than expected. It was like two point
eight percent, not as low as I think most people
would like him, but lower than what was really anticipated,
which was in the low three point something other. So
that will be a topic with Congressman Davidson. Alex Trout
to Filo ahead of the Ohio Republican Party, he'll do

(02:58):
a year in review and what he's looking looking forward
to in twenty twenty six. And I'm sure the election
will come up on that conversation, brother Dre Andre Ewing
course Breakers three hundred. It's going to be in the studio.
Andre is going to go on a rant. I'm sure
he's good at that. I love seeing what he has
to say on Facebook. Outspoken, absolutely kind of like Signal

(03:22):
ninety nine, who has been outed. Not that she necessarily,
you know, cared one way or another. But article recently
in The Enquiry by Scott Wortman and Camera Knight about
signal ninety nine, and most of the people are rallying
in support of her and what her organization does because
that Facebook website, now I'll always recommended, because she's got

(03:43):
the inside information and backs up what she says with
documents and evidence, and that's what's got so many people irked.
And she made a remarkable post about the article and
the reactions. Of course, there are a bunch of trolls
out there that were going after her, but going after
her only because she stirs the pot. She's you know,
pro police or what about nothing about her post, nothing

(04:05):
to attack her because of her lack of credibility or
lack of legitimate information. So apparently that whole Facebook page
is a collective of north of thirty individuals, all embedded
in various areas of government law enforcement. She says, they're everywhere.
They provide her information. It's not often reported because we
have such a paucity of local reporting going on, and

(04:26):
they're reporting locally. I'm sure you agree tends to be
a bit biased. So she's like, read the comments section,
see how well this went over. And also I guess
she did an artificial intelligence run on signal ninety nine,
and what AI determined that page and the information was

(04:49):
all about, and it came across generally that she is
noted to be a reliable person providing providing sound, fact
based information, even free of bias. It is looking at
all the comments and all the material that have been
posted came out in favor of her and the work
that she's doing, and I know it's appreciated by a
lot of people and considered by many a primary news

(05:12):
source we just got, according to the article from Wartman,
that's got journalism experts pissed off. I'm not kidding you,
journalism expert. You know, talking heads from University isn't a
like primarily because it comes across as anonymous. But now
that we know who she is, and she wants to
keep the other people anonymous because they give her sound

(05:36):
information from the inside, of course, I understand that motivation.
That's do do regular journalists you ever seen talk about
anonymous sources, Joe, Do regular journalists ever do that? Anonymous
source agreeing to speak on a condition of anonymity. That's
exactly what she's doing. So journalism experts stick it. That's

(06:00):
my conclusion. Anyway, Yesterday I was confused. I admitted to
my confusion and not having quite a full understanding about
the seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars Warrior Divident that
Donald Trump promised the other day during his speech. I
didn't have any objection to it, because I think our
service men and women are underpaid generally speaking. But I
was wondering about the source of funding, talking about Congress's
power of the purse, and how is it that he's

(06:21):
able to just say out loud, I'm going to give
a check to every remember of the American military. It
was in the Big Beautiful Bill, and I either I
hadn't read it before or I didn't know it. Either way,
I didn't remember it. Yesterday One Big Beautiful Bill Act
appropriated two point nine billion dollars to the Pentagon to
supplement what they call BAH benefits, their basic allowance for housing.

(06:44):
Those are non taxable benefits that are I guess fall
within the spending So it is from within that the
money apparently comes from the tariffs that have been collected.
But the at least the bill that was passed into
law does provide the vehicle for Donald Trump to provide
this seventeen hundred seventy six dollars Warrior divdend to American
service members, most all of whom are going to get it.

(07:05):
General officers are the ones that are not eligible for
the checks, but active duty service members, most commissioned officers,
and even reserve component service members some of them anyway,
as long as they were on active duty orders for
thirty one days or longer as of November thirtieth of
this year. So there's the category of folks most all
the military one point four five four million service members total.

(07:29):
So just clearing the air on that one, and I'm
experiencing a bit of shodding for it and experiencing a
bit of renewed faith in the justice system. Yesterday at
Jerry Felm Milwaukee County, Judge Hannah Dugan guilty of obstructing
federal immigration agents when they were attempting to serve a
warrant in a courthouse. You remember her ice agents. We're

(07:56):
trying to get Eduardo Flores Ruiz was in her courtroom.
They were trying to serve him a warrant. They were
waiting right outside the courtroom. This is the judge that
helped this Flores Rui's guy and his attorney get out
of her courtroom through a back door. Happened in April eighteenth.
That much time has gone by after she learned the
Ice agents were there, so she got him out of

(08:18):
the building. So they found her guilty on that. The
other charge that she was charged with, they found her.
Jurors reach a guilty verdict after six hours. Acquitted on
a misdemeanor count of concealing an individual to prevent arrest,
but the primary account found guilty. Her defense team, in
a statement had this to say, well, we're disappointed today's outcome.

(08:40):
The failure of the prosecution to secure convictions on both
counts demonstrates the opportunity we have to clear a judge
doing your name, and so she didn't show that she
did nothing wrong in this matter. Continuing in that statement,
we have planned for this potential outcome, and our defensive
judge is just beginning. This trial required considerable resources to

(09:07):
prepare for the to prepare for I love this point,
and public support for Judge Dugan's defense fund is critical
as we prepare for the next phase of the defense,
which is of course appealing the guilty verdict. I love
how the lawyer there her defense team looking out for
their own interests, like we're going to need to get paid. Hey,

(09:27):
if you want us to pursue an appeal on this one,
you better pony up some money to the defense fund,
or we're going to drop her as a client. That's
how I read that. Anyhow, so justice served federal jury
of her peers, found her guilty and sent a clear
message to the American people to respect law and order.
According to the Deputy Attorney chadge Blanche, speaking with the News,

(09:50):
nobody is above the law. This department will not tolerate obstruction,
will enforce federal immigration law, and we'll hold criminals to account,
even those who wear robes along with the Thanks to
the men and women who keep us safe generally, and
I note that we will always protect you. That from
the US Attorney's Office in a general comment to the
ICE agents and other members of law enforcement. So little

(10:13):
victory there in the name of justice and of course
the rule of law. Five point fifteen coming up with
a five sixteen five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
time five fifty on AT and T phone, Trump moving
to reduce the classification of weed. We've got the health
officials finally addressing trans related procedures for children, which shouldn't

(10:37):
happen anyway. Maybe it won't happen anymore after yesterday's activity.
We'll talk about that a whole lot more coming up.
Fifty five KRC right now, thirty degrees at the five
kr CD talk stage.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm Donald J. Trump.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Can I improve this message?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Down gotta be Friday five one three, eight hundred and
eight two three talk. I've cares dot com uh courty

(11:15):
announcement yesterday Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior they're taking
steps to cut down on breast removal and other sex
rejecting procedures for children, stating sex rejecting procedures for children
and adolescents are neither safe nor effective as a treatment
modality for gender dys for you, gender incongruence or related

(11:36):
disorders and miners there note the word miners. This is
who we're talking about here, and therefore fail to be
professional recognized standards of healthcare procedures that will not be
paid for anymore and are no longer considered a standard
of care for young people people who aren't adults. Do
you have insufficient life experience to handle the decision making

(11:59):
that goes along with this vaginoplasties i e. Surgeries creating
quote unquote vaginas, because it's not really on mails and
puberty blockers. Corne Kennedy in the press conference, the declaration
is a clear directive to providers, that's the doctors, that's

(12:19):
the hospitals, to follow the science and the overwhelming body
of evans that these procedures hurt not help children. Department
of healthing Human Services analysis he pointed to regarding these
pre treatments for so called gender dysphoria, concluded that many
of them carry the risk of significant harms like infertility,
loss of bone density, and they recommended what was the

(12:41):
traditional method of dealing with gendertis foria, and of course
that's psychotherapy as an alternative CMMs or CMS as it's called.
They always like to leave the other mut of their
centers for Medicaid, Medicare and Medicaid services going to be
issuing new proposal proposed rules one will bar hospitals that
participate in Medicare and Medicaid from performing the procedures. Oh, look,

(13:03):
the strings that are attached to government money. Sometimes they
can be used to our disadvantage and other times they
can be used to the advantage of now of the
general welfare of young children who are being forced in
many cases to go through gender mutilation procedures. Huh, if
you're taking the money, you can't do it anymore. There

(13:24):
another would prohibit federal money from funding them. Amendment OZ.
Administrator for the division, were not going to let the
taxpayer money go to hurt these children. Now, you want
to see when the money involved is why maybe some
of these highly respected hospitals and institutions went down this

(13:46):
road and got gender clinics up and running according to
Amendment OZ. He cited a twenty twenty two paper that
found that a vaginoplasty will run about sixty thousand dollars
and a procedure to construct a quote unquote penis because
it's not really one, it's just something that kind of

(14:07):
remotely looks like one. After the procedure. You know how
much sat ryns Joe take a guess that tree fitty wrong.
One hundred and forty eight thousand, five hundred and forty
dollars tax payer dollars we're paying for that. Also, moving

(14:30):
to reverse the prior administration Biden attempt to have GENDERDISPIA
added to the definition of disability in federal law. A
disability finding, of course, would allow you to get on
Social Security Social Security disability payments at even a younger age.
Doctor Brian Christine, Health and Human Services officials said in
a letter to families and providers, the evidence quote demonstrates

(14:54):
an unfavorable risk benefit profile for chemical and surgical interventions
in children and adolescents with generatives. For eh FDA, it's
not a warning letter to manufacturers of chest binders. Another what
those devices that cover up the breast of females who
do not identify do not identify as female, that want
to be men? They said. The marketing of the chess

(15:15):
binders to children as a generatives FIA treatment is a
regulatory violation and could lead to repercussions if not corrected. Now, obviously,
there's another argument on the other side and woe cited
in the article from I Think It was Epic Times. Yeah,
Zachary Stebers's article on this. Doctor Jamila Parrott, a president

(15:36):
and CEO of something called Physicians for Reproductive Health. Today's
proposed rules are a deliberate and targeted attack on transgender youth,
their families, and the clinicians committed to providing patients the
care they need. No, it's not an attack on transgender youth.
It's an effort to protect them. And notably, listen to

(16:00):
the words of de transitioner Chloe Cole, who was there
for these announcements. She claims to be a victim in
the sense that doctors essentially forced her into this gender transition.
She's twenty one now. She went through the process of
so called medical transition from male to female between the
ages of twelve and sixteen. Puberty blockers, testosterone injections, double

(16:25):
mass sectity masectomy rather caused her irreversible and permanently affect
her irreversible problems and permanently affected her health. She said,
as soon as the gender was in the picture, none
of my doctors are physio A psychologist asked the real
questions they should have quote. The entire focus was on
my feelings and what I wanted rather than what I needed.

(16:47):
In that moment, she described herself as a young, yet
tomboyish little girl. She said her doctors never shared the risks,
only touted the quote unquote benefits for stopping female puberty
using testosterone to promote the growth of body, hair, musculature,
and different fat distribution. Quote. There was nothing they could

(17:09):
say to me that would make me understand the gravity
of what I was about to go through because I
was still growing up. I had very little experience in
the world, and I simply would not be mature enough
to be equipped to undergo such a life changing procedure
in every way. Well, yeah, and it goes on other
reasons why this was so terrible. Her parents had no

(17:29):
information whatsoever to come to some legitimate conclusion. The doctor's
just pushed her along that path. She got the hormone
therapy and she had a mass sectomy. She will never
be able to breastfeed, and her status on whether she
can even reproduce is now unknown thanks to the testosterone
the day for well, I would say forced her to date.
Now she grew up and then she's like, I regret

(17:50):
everything that was done to me. As an adult, with
more information, she developed her understanding having gone through the
procedures and the available information that's out in the world
on this even happening has expanded to the point where
even the European Unions saying no to this kind of crap.
I think most of them anyway, So good five twenty

(18:13):
seven a lease you and I aren't paying for it.
Fifty five kr seed talk stations, stick around local stories,
uh p on calls possible, and then we got to
stack as stupid after the next segment. Stick around fifty
five because right now if you five KRCD talk station
five thirty one, Happy Friday, went hour from now Tech

(18:33):
Friday with Dave Patter, which is interesting. I've got a
couple of tech articles, crazy tech articles in the local stories.
Somebody put in all points bullet now for Tom. He's
not on the line right now. Not that we need
to have Tom on the phone, and your calls are welcome.
He doesn't own the segment, just kind of getting used
to it. So over to Blue Ash. Four year investigation
this is Gary stuff led to the arrest of a

(18:56):
Blue Ash man who admitted to filming underage girls by
place cameras in their bedroom. These are federal court documents
that reveal this. David mits Nepez close enough. He's in
jail thirty two years old in the Butler County Jail
for child porn and attempted sexual exploitation. FID, they would say,
he entered the victim's home ten times over the course

(19:19):
of four years, installing installing six small cameras in this
teenage girl's bedroom. Parenthetically, he also kept girl the girl's
bras and underwear, hiding them in his closet. First court
appearance yesterday, Federal Prosecutor Kyle Hally said this guy knew
the victims through religious ties. No great they also live

(19:41):
in the same neighborhood. Heally argued that the suspects should
not receive bond due to the amount of trauma he created. Yes, indeed,
so much so that one of the girls involved canceled
or trip back home out of fear that miss miss
Nez mitt nes Fez would get out of jail or
be released. This was years of breaking into the residence,

(20:03):
he pointed out to the court. In addition to filming
the teens, He says, the thirty two year old already
admitted to the detective that he bought child porn of
victims horrifically less than five years old, including video of
toddlers being sexually abused, baptismal or religious ceremonies involving children
being stripped naked, and kids underten getting undressed in the

(20:24):
locker room. Joe, I think you need to queue up
an award ferious. The biggest douche of the universe, in
all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than you. You've
reached the top, the pinnacle of douchet. Oh yeah, good
goingdue your dreams have come true. Yeah. Fortunately, US Magistrate

(20:53):
Judge Karen Likovitz denied him bond giving the overwhelming way
of the evidence. In fact, he admitted to having child
porn and the following facts which make it even worse.
This is why I was so incensed by this. The
first camera they found September of twenty twenty one, described
as a foul camera. Oh look, Dave Hatter is quoted
by the Fox nineteen reporting they interviewed about this. These

(21:16):
things are available online. Go to Amazon. If you got
twenty bucks, you can get one. Yes, no SD card,
no traceable digital evidence in this. It was it hooked
up to Wi Fi, which means that he could get
the information streaming out of the camera to whatever device
he was listening to or hooked up to it remote
IP location. So they had no they got the law

(21:38):
enforcement of all no we're in no traceable evidence, the
blue Ash detective is nothing really we can do. One
year later, in June, another camera was found in the
same bedroom fifteen year old daughter. At that point, she
was about to get a undressed. She knows the camera
in the exact same spot. Camera taking to the police department.
Again no SD card and the detective was unable to

(21:58):
retrieve data. So didn't I guess where it was going.
More cameras found in the home between twenty twenty two
and twenty twenty three. Now you're living in that home,
what would your reaction be to finding these these strategically
placed hidden cameras? Anyway, After reviewing surveillance footage, cross referencing

(22:21):
people who had access to the house, mitz Nefez our
Award winner for the Morning fit the suspects physical description
and apparently had the code to the home. And here's
where the red flags pop up. He apparently was trusted
by the family. He had access to their home to
bring in the mail while they were out of town,
even helped set up their Internet account. So mind your

(22:44):
p's and q's with who you think you can trust.
And isn't this a huge bubble burst of trust, but wow.
Another local story man courses cincinn eighteen into placing one
of these cameras. Jocko Rossello, He'll share the award course
to sixteen year old girl online to send him ex
sexually explicit videos and made her install a wireless camera

(23:05):
in the bedroom of her home, threatened the girl in
her family. According to court documents, He told her the
threats would stop if she sent more explicit content, and
even forced her to break up with her boyfriend. All
that happened while Rosello, thirties in his thirties, who lived
with his mom in Sycamore Township, was awaiting trial in Kentucky,

(23:25):
where he had been accused of posting online ads seeking
minors for sex. Sentence the sixteenth of this month in
federal court to twelve years in prison. His communications with
the girl took place over social media that Kick messaging
app and email, according to court documents, have been in
a roll of late charging twenty twenty one, after investigators

(23:46):
contacted him about to multi connect him rather than to
multiple Kick accounts, one he called himself Hotter when Smaller
that was his name, transmitted files to picking child sexual abuse.
He had no kid investigators search and apartment where he
lived with his mom again found electronic devices containing hundreds
of images and video of children in varying ages being

(24:07):
sexually abused. Great, do you know what your children are
doing online? Five point thirty six fifty five KRC the
talk station stick around? We got more coming up? Stack
is stupid?

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Fifty five krc quality starts at home from the talk station?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Can you play John the Fisherman? Five forty coming up
at five forty one on a Friday? Yeah, always seventifty
five hundred eighty thirty two to three talks now five fifteen,
eighteen and two phones. Remember fifty five krc. Dot com
get your heart media apps. You can stream the content
wherever you happen to be in your smart device. It's

(24:59):
five forty one. If he didn't get a chance to
listen a great conversation with citizen watchdog toddsz inzor yesterday,
that whole hour of basically what I call Shenanigan's declarations. Boy,
he is on top, and he is bringing his a
game former Inspector general and just using those learning tasks
and his skills to try to bring about some accountability
in the city of Cincinnati. He's doing it for all taxpayers.

(25:23):
So because it's Friday, look naked people in the stack
are stupid as this tradition. Evansville, Indiana, where a man
in there is facing multiple charges after police city was
walking around a southeast apartment completely naked. Why are you
doing that? Let's see if we can find out. Please
call it the Village Green Apartments five pm Saturday, last
reports of fifty five year old Scott Commins walking around naked.

(25:45):
Witness also called saying that when he was returning his
nephew's dog to his apartment, who was found outside comings
in the kitchen. Witness said he'd never met Cummins. Police
got there, they order him to come out of the apartment,
but he refused. Officers entered the apartment and after a
bit of a struggle, took him into custody. One officer

(26:05):
injured while taking him to the police car. That after
the officer fell while Cummings was refusing to cooperate. Another
witness told police they saw Cummins inside of an suv
that did not belong to him. Please say there were
children playing in the area when he was walking around naked.
Court of the officers Cummins also admitted to being ready.

(26:26):
Here's the answer. Joe high on meth amphetamine taken to
the Vanderberg County Jail, charge with resisting law enforcement causing
bodily injury, residential entry, unauthor his entry of a motor vehicle,
public in decency, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication
by drugs. We go to Lufton, Texas, where a man

(26:51):
there has been sentenced to life in prison after law
enforcement found him naked in his bathroom with a phone
containing child porn during a search war Nice Star Linement.
Fifty one year old Choey Chance Evans charged with six
counts of promotion of child porn twenty one counts of
possessing child porn cord to the DA's office. Google reported

(27:16):
child porn uploads on July first and July second of
calendar year twenty one to the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children. They do that, you perverts out there.
Investigation investigators determined materials uploaded from an IP address link
to an account belonging to yes mister Evans. Texas DPS
agents later executed the warrant at his home, where he

(27:38):
was found again naked in a bathroom holding his cell
phone at least razing. I know I was waiting for
that Joe, at least in one hand, officers stated. DA's
office stated the cell phone had a website open that
contained obvious child porn. Further search of Evans's cell phone
revealed numerous images of child pornography webs evidence to confirm

(28:01):
he had access to child porn on multiple access to
child porn on multiple dates or authorities also found that
Evans used apps and web browsers designed to conceal his
online activity, IP address and identity. I'm guessing of EPN.
Initially indicted on twenty twenty two, in September three counts
of possession of child porn. The officials set of changing
leadership of the District Attorney's office prompted a reevaluation of

(28:23):
the case, leading investigators to determine and additional that additional
charges were warranted. Pleaded guilty to all twenty one and
agreed to a maximum sentence. He will serve one life sentence,
followed consecutively by two twenty year sentences the whole time.

(28:44):
Joe a life plus forty Joe, do you think he's
ever going to get any sleep five forty five? Could
you five KRC the talk station. Sorry, I'm not going
to weep a tear for that guy. Don't go away
more coming up, be right back. This is fifty five
KRC and Iheartradios.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Are you sure?

Speaker 2 (29:11):
By forty nine on a Friday? Happy one to you.
Back to student. Hey local boy Joe Cincinnati man pushed
a naked woman out of his Bond Hill apartment, got
sentenced Tuesday afternoon to ten to fifteen years in prison.

(29:31):
Why are you doing that? We will find out momentarily.
Anthony Howard, he pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange
for which the murder and flooding's assault charges were dismissed.
That happens quite often. So apparently the victim, Shannon Ashcraft,
sailor found dead outside of his apartment this in twenty
twenty three. That's going to say he initially didnied even

(29:54):
knowing her, later told her friend that he had sex
with her before her death, and then detective said he
ultimately admitted to an ongoing section relationship with her. So
there's your relationship established court. To the records, he told
investigators that he thought this woman had died from a
drug overdose and upon thinking that, pushed her body out
of a window, causing it to fall twenty feet, then

(30:15):
dragging it into a grassy area, where it ultimately was discovered.
The corner though, said she may have eventually died from
the overdose, but determined that the fall from the window
is what caused her death. Amen. Joe Howard got credit
for the seven hundred and ninety six days he had
spent in jail while awaiting trial. Half naked. Wait a second,

(30:39):
it's Friday. Well we'll let it pass. Thirty one year
old man accused of breaking into multiple Saint Paul apartments
while half naked. Okay. Court to the criminal complaint. Incident
happened December tenth this year, about six o'clock in the
in the Evening apartment complex in Saint Paul. Please called

(31:00):
for report of a half naked guy destroying property. Officers
we can find out got in touch with the property manager,
who said she encountered the guy inside a maintenance shop
wearing a green high visibility top but nothing from the
waist down. She asked him to leave. Man went to
another building on the property attempted to force his way
in that caused visible damage to the doorframe. He next

(31:23):
went to a second building, unsuccessfully trying to enter, then
moved on to another building, broke the window and the
door with his fist crawling inside. They found him sitting
inside the building near a heater without pants when he
was taken into custody. Identified as William Wesley Wright of
still Water. Following his Postmaranda interview, he told officers he'd

(31:45):
been working with a snow removal company, was riding in
a truck with a co worker when he needed to
use the restroom. He said he defecated in his pants
and was then removed from the vehicle by a co worker.
I bet removed from the vehicle. How that one went down,
Joe I told of police he was trying to find
a place to clean himself up and get warm, being

(32:06):
told to leave another After being told to leave another building,
acknowledged that a reasonable person would have indeed called police
for assistance in the city, he did not, and couldn't
explain why. Door damage estimated at seventeen hundred and fifty bucks.
He's charged with first degree damage to property, which is
a felony, alleging the damage reduced the value of the property.

(32:27):
My more than one thousand dollars. If convicted, he's facing
up the five years in prison and a ten thousand
dollars fine or both. WHOA, that's a lot of feces.
How about just walking away? This is one on steroids. Bradenton,
Florida got a woman accused of killing are you ready
both of her ex husbands in two separate shootings on

(32:47):
the same day. What Manateee County authorities say? Forty eight
year old Susan Erica Avalon shot and killed her ex
husband Amanatee County on Wednesday afternoon, then another ex husband
over in Tampa later in the day, using stolen food
from a Panera bread as a trick to get the
Manatee County man to open his front door. According to

(33:10):
the I got yeah right, Joe, I got a bagel
for you, Sheriff's department said. When the victim opened the door,
she started to she opened fire immediately. Thirty shared surveillance video.
Oh shocking surveillance video actually was found showing her walking
into the Panara about a mile and a half from
the scene. She took food from a delivery pickup shelf
without paying for it, then went to the guy's home.

(33:32):
License plate readers tracked her car all over the place.
Court records show that she and the Mantee County victim
had been divorced for eleven years. Yeah, I know, grudge right, Joe,
grudge much with a long running custody dispute and about
four thousand dollars in unpaid child support. She had a

(33:54):
December deadline to pay two hundred dollars or loser driver's license.
Apparently she was paying him child support and anybody that
went through a divorce for that to happen. And I'm
guessing maybe the court thought she was a bit disturbed
on some level. I don't know. Jectives got to the
her Citrus County home. They said they found her cleaning

(34:15):
the mini van with bleach and rags. Nothing to see
you here. During questioning, when asked to discuss her ex husband,
she said which one, which led investigators to ask Tampa
police to conduct a welfare check at a separate residence
that night. That's where they found an adult man inside
the home dead from yes multiple gunshot wounds and damage

(34:38):
to the rear door, which suggested a forced entry. Tampa
police that they believed the shooting related to the Man
County homicide investigation, with detectives saying that the shooter and
victim were both known to one another. Her live in
boyfriend at least it isn't. Third husband told detectives that
he had recently tracked down the Manitee victim, or that
she had recently tracked down the Manitee victim's address. He

(35:00):
said she also told him the day before the shooting
that she loved him quote in case something happens to
her close quote planned event. Maybe best going to say that,
he told him. When Avalon got home after those shootings,
she got in the shower while wearing the same gray
shirt seen in the surveillance video. Now here's your fun fact.

(35:22):
Previously arrested on a child abuse charge in Virginia, OH
for one other child abuse case included Tampa and Pascoe County,
which were ultimately dropped, and those cases were tied to
custody disputes with her ex husband's Yeah, the boyfriend dodged
the bullet. Joe, well, well played, just walk away, Ayma?

(35:48):
After that choose wisely, I Love you, Paulette five fifty
six fifty five care City Talk Station. More to talk
about then, tech Frida mc dave had her coming up
at sixth thirty ish. Hope you canna hang out Today's
top headlines. What if the left ran Christmas? Can you
imagine that? Sean Hannity, Merry Christmas. This is not a

(36:09):
public school.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
We can say it.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Making Christmas great again? Today at three walking in Libro
Cooler KRC the talk station six O six fifty five
KROCB talk station. Right time, I was swishing everyone a
very very happy Friday. Segue into Christmas Week next week.

(36:31):
I just I can't believe it's here already, but it is.
Try to get the Christmas spirit and to do so,
just tune in next Wednesday when Rob Rider returns with
his guitar to the studio. Oh it's Tuesday, that's right.
Christmas Eve is Wednesday. Well, working two days next week anyway,
I'll be off the balance of the year. So anyway,

(36:53):
I can't wait to have Rob Beck in studio. It's
it's been a tradition for so many years, going all
the way back to my dad that Christmas Special. So
I'm a coming in long, long, long before I was
even on radio and joining the Christmas festivities in the studio.
The old studios. So h those were the good old days.
We actually had a Santa Claus back then. How's Rob
Williams doing there? Joe miss that guy? He was brilliant

(37:15):
five on three, seven, four, nine, fifty two three, Talk
found five fifty on eight and t phone bottom of
the Art Tech Frinda with Dave Hatter. We have a
gadget that is giving China backdoor into the US power grid.
One singular gadget. We'll talk about artificial intelligence. Toys for kids.
Don't buy them, says Dave Hatter. Anyway, talking to your
children about sex and uh Chinese Communist Party talking points.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
You bought it.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
And finally Webster's word of the Year. What is slop?
I think you probably have your own figure. You figure
out your own definition for what slop is. Historically, this
is different. It's in Tech Friday segment, so it's got
to be tech related. What is slop and what does
it mean? Congressman Warren Davidson coming up in an hour.
He'll be talking about healthcare. You're talking about the Epstein files,
and I'll also be talking about inflation coming in lower

(38:02):
than expected by a fraction of a percentage point, like
point five or zero point six lower than they actually anticipate,
a good thing. At least it's going down. Plus, the
Senate came up with an omnibus bill. I'm gonna have
to ask him about that in an effort to resolve
the funding issues because they didn't do the twelve Appropriations bill,
which is one of the job functions they have when
they're elected. They know ahead of time every year they

(38:24):
have to do it, and every year gets kicked the
can down the road. Sometimes the government shuts down because
they haven't done their work. Oh does that happen rightly? Anyway?
To put together I believe five over in the Senate
anyway that House and half course have to approve them.
Mini bus is what they're calling five appropriations bills packed
into one minibus bill which would fund most most which

(38:46):
is an important point, to make most of the federal
government through fiscal year twenty twenty six. They're saying that
if this passes and the House approves the sentence version
of this minibus, then the wind will be knocked out
of the sales of shutting the government down because the
vast majority of government will in be funded. This bill
five bill package would fund eighty five to ninety percent

(39:06):
of the federal government. House, of course, will have to
approve the package. Of course President Trump would have to
sign on to it. If the House does approve the
Senate's version, they say that is by no means assured,
of course, and it would mean only the Departments of Homeland, Security, State,
Foreign Operations, Energy and Water Projects, and Financial Services will

(39:28):
be facing a funding deadline of January thirtieth. So can
we do without the Department of State, Foreign Operations, Energy
and Water Projects. Probably, So we'll see what Congressman Davidson
has to say about the concept of the minibus along
with those other topics. Alex Charancefield, he's going to be
joining the program head of the Higher Republican Party looking
at the last this is the end of this calendar

(39:50):
year and what happened during this year, as well as
a look forward to twenty twenty six. Of course, with
the November elections, we're already talking a lot about that.
Head Air Americans for Prosperity. On the other day was
some recommendations and support for endorsed candidates by AFP around
the state of Ohio and various congressional districts. So Fast
and Furious Novembers coming andre Ewing brother dre in studio.

(40:12):
Love that guy. He's got a great Facebook page. Outspoken,
he is telling it like he is. Doesn't rep any
represent any agency, doesn't represent any police agencies. He's andre
Ewing involves citizen. He'll have comments on the eight point
one million dollar civil rights violation settlements. He'll talk about
Iris Rowley's sweetheart deal coming in into six hundred and

(40:35):
fifty some on thousand dollars in a contract that just
keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. What I'm gonna
have to ask him directly, what does Iris Roley have
on our elected officials? How is it that she wields
so much power? It's a great question. I hope he
has some kind of answer anyway. Plus maybe talking about

(40:55):
a F tabs CARF tabs car troubles. Didn't pay your
car payment, you get your car towed, which leads me
over to little revelation. I'm sure you probably have heard this.
I know I brought up some points on this going on,
But since this Tech Friday and after have Purval did
get his name written in the margins in the article

(41:17):
that I'm about to mention some of the facts from
your car is in fact spying on you. I know
you knew that, but they're so filled with much with
so much technology that is really just just just soaking
up everything that you are doing in your car, and
they're of course compiling the data and keeping tabs on
you with it. Over to BMW, their senior vice president

(41:37):
admitted that the company has data from over ten million vehicles.
That data used to, in his words, see what our
customers are doing close quote precise GPS location, the direction
you're traveling, of course, vehicle vitals, you know, oil pressure
and that kind of thing. Incident data sensors, knowing when

(41:58):
you have been in a bumper or an accident or something.
They'd soak that up. And then there's this disclosure that
they have to provide you. You know, those long legal
ease documents that are about, oh, I don't know, one
hundred and fifty pages long and eight point type. That's
where all the information is revealed to you and you
never bother reading it to know exactly what they're doing.

(42:19):
Ford's privacy to closure says cars with connectivity will transmit
things like transmit things like vehicle data, driving data, vehicle
location audio, visual media analytics, and vehicle analytics. Speed accelerator used.
Are you a florid kind of person or do you
engage in like a hyper milling effort to maximize mileage

(42:42):
and slowly accelerate the pay They're paying attention to that
steering use precise latitude and longitude image. Here's an interesting one.
Images from forward facing or interior facing cameras that is
being soaked up images. What music you listen to, the
apps you use, use through the device services, features that
you prefer within the vehicle. All that data Ford collects

(43:05):
and these other automobile companies collect as well. And it's
noted that Ford, among the other manufacturers, still collects your
vehicle's location despite your preferences. Why well, if you read
the small print in that document, to protect and defend
our forwards rights or property, including repossessing a vehicle in

(43:29):
the event of delinquency or to comply with applicable law,
they want to know where the vehicle is in case
you don't make the car payment. AFT tab Ford apparently,
according to the reporting of this article, was looking into
designing technology. I love this for a self repossessing car.
What do we do is lock you out of the

(43:51):
vehicle if you fall behind payments. And then in these
modern days of self driving cars, the car drives itself
back to the automaker, of course, saving save if they
implemented this technology, save for the cost of hiring a
tow truck or some collection agency which they would have
to give a sizeable chunk of the recovery too. Don't
have to do that anymore, just drives itself back to Ford.

(44:14):
Hyundai also notably collects your information when you drive a
vehicle equipped with Blue Link. And see that's that connectivity
comment I hovered around a moment ago. If you are
involved in connectivity. When I bought my car, I had
an option to hook up to the manufacturer's website. Oh,
you'll get all the notices, you'll let you know when
your oil chain needs to be changed, and they'll also
be following you around and collecting up and hoovering up

(44:36):
all this data. I'm like, there's no way in hell
I'm hooking up to that app.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
I got a little sticker for my last oil change.
I know exactly when it need an oil change. You
need to tell me about that. In fact, I kind
of pay attention to that independent of whether I get
a sticker notify me when I need my next oil change,
I can manage it. Okay, something goes wrong in my car,
get a little warning light that will pop up right, Yeah,
you get that too. Do you need the manufacturer to
know that and also to know what music you're listening to,

(45:03):
to take pictures of you while you're in your car,
or to film the surrounding areas where your car happens
to be. Now, how about no? And they can also
sell the data. Third parties love knowing more about you,
and of course that's where the Internet of Things comes in.
That's where the information from Tech Friday's Dave Hat are

(45:24):
always pointing to listen. That app is free, but the
payment you're making is in the form of giving them
all the data that they suck up through the application,
quite often all the data that's on your phone. That's
one of the reasons I don't use apps that require permissions.
But those apps are free. I'm guessing whether you know

(45:47):
it or not, or what slice of the overall expense
of the car deals with incorporating this technology into the car.
But I guarantee you, as you're sitting here right now,
or as I'm sitting here right now, that you did
pay for all this software and all this information soaking app,

(46:09):
all these information soaking apps that are built into your car,
and in most cases you don't have a choice, unlike
an app you would download off the internet. First off,
do you really need it? Are you going to download?
At least you have a choice right there. You can
stop it from happening by not downloading it. Go ahead
and buy a car and see if it is free
of any of this technology. Can you find one out

(46:32):
there that is? I'm betting no sticking around for that.
Jay's on the phone, Jay, Hold on one second. Hold,
I mentioned something that I don't know. Talk Station six
one coming up on six twenty two. Happy, It's Friday.

(46:53):
David's am I five one three two three thought tech
Chriti with Dave had to come on the next in
the next segment. In the meantime, Jays on the phone, Jay,
thanks thanks for havingumber the break. Welcome back to the program.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Hey, good morning, Brian. Hey just wanted to take a
minute and share with the listeners. John three point sixteen.
As we get close to Christmas, that God so loved
the world he sent his one and only Son.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
That whosoever should believe.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
In him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
The emphasis is just on belief.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
It doesn't say baptize, it doesn't say join a church,
it doesn't say take communion. And again, if you read Romans, Hebrews,
all through the Bible, in order for us to get
to Heaven, he is the only path, trust only in Him.
And it's it's unbelievable that it's that simple. But I

(47:49):
am convinced that it's that simple, and let's not lose
sight of that. That's the reason for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Points all well taken. I had I had to have
interject I mean to interrupt you, but I have to
point out he never did specify that it was pursuing
into a specific set of dogmatic or doctrinal principles either
did he?

Speaker 6 (48:11):
No, he did not.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Right, how many have and how many versions of Christianity
are there? Like one hundred and thirty or something. You
got Protestants and Catholics, you have Evangelicals, you have snake handlers,
you have Christian Science. I mean that could go on
for an hour.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think I'm right there with you
that I think that a lot of denominations or Christian
churches have lost their way and they have gone back
into what do I need to do? And the focus
is I hope I've done enough. You can't do anything.
We are in such a lost state that we need
a savior. Otherwise, what was the point of God sending

(48:45):
his son to Diana cross? And all we have to
do is believe? And then it's well, how do we
believe that? There's another Bible verse that says faith comes
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The
more you learn about any topic in our life, the
better we get at it, including spending time in God's
Word understanding all this.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
But it is so simple.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
The travesty is all the complexity to your point, it
gets wrapped up in doctrine to get people confused and
get them convinced that I need some other man, some
other ritual something. None of that is true. And I
think that that is the gift, and that is if
we focus on anything to share with our fellow believers,
that's it.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I think it's it's an excellent point. I mean again,
I always try to use the Morning Shows a vehicle
to talk purely based upon logic, and reason. I try
to let my political decisions, my economic analysis, my analysis
about any given topics spring from logic and reason, because
I know that maybe the way I believe conflicts with
what someone else believes. But if there are there are

(49:46):
facts and information you can provide exclusive of it, or
without reliance upon religion. You don't run the risk of
alienating someone who would incline, be inclined not to listen
to you merely because you believe in a different set
of doctrinal or dogmatic prints then the person giving me
the information. So let's go neutral on religion when talking
about politics, and then you can use it in your

(50:07):
day to day life. And you can use it, of course,
to cope with political realities. You know, at least I
have God on my side, or I have Jesus to
save me, and that's supposed to make life a little
bit easier to live in troubled.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Times, exactly right. And the Bible doesn't say that we
come out. It doesn't say and they live happily ever after.
This is a following world that's continuing to fall. So
this is the truth that we need to grab onto
in the midst of the storm. And I think that
this is the time of year when we kind of
take a step back and think about that. The second

(50:39):
point is you know you do you. I heard a
voice that was familiar the other day when you were
impersonating the Angel Box girl, and I thought, man, he
sounds that just sounds like Grandma and making her Christmas
cake that his dad used to do. So as the
Iris Rawley of the listening audience that represents everybody self
appointed consultant, I don't quite get the money from the

(50:59):
listening audience like Iris gets from the city. We all
want you, Brian. We think it's time for you to
step up. Not play your dad doing Grandma, but it's
time for you to fill those shoes, my friend and
do Grandma in the next few days.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
We all agree.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Yeah, I don't want to insult my dad's good name
or his reputation. I just leave it at that. Yeah,
he was great at what he was. Truly appreciate it.
The talk station six thirty one on a Friday appointment
listening time tech Front of Me. Dave had it brought
to you by his company Interest dot Com. Interest it

(51:38):
there to help businesses with their computer related needs across
the spectrum doing a great job. Business Career says they
are the best in the business, and of course Dave
had to the go to guy for all local media
to contact when it comes to guess internet related things
and tech things. Welcome back, Dave Hat to appreciate you
joining the show and thanks for sponsoring the segment.

Speaker 7 (51:57):
Always my pleasure. Brian, happy to be here and we're
doing some good out there every Friday.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I've been on a tear for a long long time,
but even more so of late, dealing with our energy
shortage in the situation all driven by the idea of
eliminating plant food from our environment. If you get rid
of the word CO two and you quit calling in
a pollutant, everything becomes a lot easier because we've gotten
so good at eliminating genuine pollutants from our energy production.
So you can use natural gas or coal and scrub it. No,

(52:23):
we're not allowed to do that. It's CO two that's
the problem. So we need, oh, I don't know, a
solar array. We need solar panels. But that has created
a security problem. So in the name of eliminating plant
food from the environment, we've invited the Chinese Communist Party
into our house. And affecting our energy grid.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Yep. And we have.

Speaker 7 (52:46):
Unfortunately, and to a large extent. You know, most of
the solar panels are maybe not most, many, if not most,
solar panels are not made in the United States. And
this is something we've talked about before, Brian in a
tertiary with the idea that so much of our society
is now using physical things that have digital capabilities, right, software,

(53:11):
embedded Internet of things, smart devices, and so much of
this stuff comes from on shore, much of it from China.
And there's been concern for a long time from people
like SISA and the FBI, DHS, myself and others warning
about the prominence of this stuff. Right it's coming from
foreign countries, China in particular. We know their adversarial I mean,

(53:33):
you and I just recently have talked about more warnings
of Chinese hacking and so forth, and you know, the
Chinese Communist Party does not seem to be very friendly
with us at this point. So the idea that we're
going to fill our electrical grid and other sectors of
critical infrastructure with devices made in China, with devices full

(53:53):
of software made in China, and we've been doing this
for more than ten years, Brian, how many times have
we talked about software vuner yea, the Internet of things?
Software embedded in these things that have problems don't get updated.
So now you have this situation whereas we become more
and more reliant on solar power, and you have these
devices that are made elsewhere, there's the possibility that they

(54:14):
could be manipulated or just outright turned off.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Shocked, shocked that that would happen. Yeah, okay, Daves. You
always talk about Internet of things devices. They don't think
about privacy and security when they're building them. They want
a device out there to get the revenue from it.
Then like, oh my god, we forgot to deal with
the gaping hole and software which allow people to use
it to remotely hack into somebody's system that exists because
of a failure negligence. Perhaps, are you telling me that

(54:39):
we people don't think like you, Dave, And I'll ask
you directly. Don't you think the Chinese Communist Party, in
selling these devices hooked up to our grid, designed them
to be able to get into and soak up data
or otherwise shut the system down. That was probably initial
motivation for these gadgets.

Speaker 7 (54:57):
I don't think you can rule that out, Brian, because
here's the thing. You know, you can make an argument
or any so called Internet of things device that one
of its benefits besides whatever it's specifically designed to do,
is that it can be remotely controlled, remotely updated, and
by updated, additional functionality could potentially be added through the software.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Right.

Speaker 7 (55:18):
So there's always the potential positive nature of these things.
But you really hit the nail on the head most
of these devices. Now again, when you get into the
industrial sector, it's a little different than the consumer stuff.
But when you get into these devices, they are not
focused on your privacy and security. You know, I have
been screaming about problems with software security. I mean, that's

(55:39):
really kind of how I got out of software engineering
and into cybersecurity. Is my concerns about in the software industry.
Less focus on security, robustness, privacy than speed to market,
ease of use, market share, meeting my budget, meeting my timeline,
that kind of thing, right, And I mean I used
to be that guy was only concerned does it do

(56:02):
what the customer asked for? Did I get it done
on time? And did I get it done on budget?
But over time, as we've become more reliant on this stuff.
It's more critical. Thankfully, folks like Siza out there have
the Secure by Design program trying to get software companies
to focus on security as a fundamental concept, not an
afterthought later. But yeah, you really hit the nail on

(56:23):
the head. Could there be backdoors built into these things
on purpose? You know, we talked recently about robots coming
from China and Chinese Communist Party back doors and the
robots that allow remote control. Again, not necessarily ne farious,
but could be. You know, and I know, before we
run out of time, I just remind folks stucks Net.
Stuck's Net was a virus created so that uranium Uranium

(56:48):
centerp would appear to be operating correctly to the operator
while they were basically destroying themselves because the software was
sending bad information to the operators. People think, this kind
of thing we're talking about here is far facks. It's
already been done more than ten years ago. So the
idea that someday, if it's Taiwan, if it's let's just

(57:11):
cause chaos in the United States or whatever, that a
switch is going to be flipped and you know, autonomous
cars stop working or become weapons, the grid goes down,
the water turns off.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Sadly, this is the reality we're in as long as we.

Speaker 7 (57:26):
Continue to bury our heads in the sand to the
fact that we have to stop buying this stuff from
countries that are adversarial.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Another reason to not buy AI toys for your kids.
Coming up next with Dave hat Or, don't go away
experience a comfort and reliability with Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning.
Six on a Friday, Round two with introit dot COM's
Dave had Or, get in touch with interest it for
your computer needs you business owners out there. Dave had Er,
you've been harping on it for a long time. Don't

(57:53):
buy your kids AI toys or Internet connected toys for Christmas.
And here's another warning from NBA see news on the
same topic.

Speaker 7 (58:02):
Yeah, Brian, you know, every week after the show, I
try to post some notes to the articles that I
used to come up with these topics to discuss with you.
And the one we just talked about that's got a
lot more details in it, you know, the inverters and
the Chinese solar panels and so forth. But this I
really want every parent and every grandparent to go read

(58:25):
this NBC News article because it's very detailed, it's got
some videos associated with it, and I think people will
literally be shocked. Yeah, I'm not that easy to be
shocked by this stuff anymore. And I mean, this is
so crazy. So yeah, I'm not a fan of the
Internet of Things, and anyone that knows me knows that
for all the reasons we just talked about and that

(58:46):
I've been talking about for years now. And now you're
going to take an internet connected toy, something that might
look like a cute little teddy bear or a flower
or some other sort of thing, some popular character, and
you're going to add a interface to some sort of
AI chatbot think chat EPT, Deep Seek Rock whatever. Right,

(59:07):
So now it's not just connected to the Internet op
perhaps a camera, perhaps a microphone, probably both, possibly recording
conversations your kids are having with the toy, Recording conversations
kids are having with their friends, Recording conversations you are
having with your kids, you know, much of which you
may not necessarily want recorded and uploaded to some probably

(59:31):
Chinese AI engine that's doing who knows what with that data,
storing it for who knows how long, selling it to
who knows who, so you know that risk was there
before with the general IoT stuff, but now you're gonna
connect to some kind of chatbot. And then the list
there's just such a laundry list of problems with this, right.
We've seen stories about kids that killed themselves after having

(59:54):
some extended conversation with one of these things. You know,
there's all kinds of recent studies coming out about kids'
mental health and social media and time on screens and
so forth. And when you when you really dig into this, right,
they talk about how this stuff is all new, it's
poorly tested, you don't understand the privacy policy, you don't

(01:00:14):
know where the data is going. Now most of these
things come from China. I'm sure that's not a surprise
to anyone that's listening to this, but it's just it's crazy.
So the Public Interest Research Group was one of the
organizations that tested this, and then NBC did a bunch
of testing. And again, this article very well done in
terms of the amount of detail and the shocking, shocking

(01:00:38):
information that they're putting out.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
It's it's nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Well real quick, here, let's summarize quickly how to light
and match specific instructions in toys A toy, a toy
for children three years old and older, teaches them how
to sharpen a knife. Here's here's here's one enthusiastically responding
to questions about sex and drugs search from some group
called p I r G, most notably the Alilo Smart Bunny,

(01:01:05):
apparently popular on Amazon. Build is the quote best gift
for little ones close kite close quote. They say it
will engage in long and detailed descriptions of sexual practices,
including kink, sexual positions, and sexual preferences. Asked about impact play,
we know what that is, described as where one partner
strikes another. The bunny listed a variety of tools used
in bds M leather, flogger, it said, flogger with multiple

(01:01:28):
se We went into a description of bondage gear. This
is a child's toy, Dave, Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:01:34):
A child's toy. Your child is using it, probably in
their own room without your oversight or knowledge. That is
the most extreme example. But you know, further up in
the same article, they say, you know that. The thing
I'm quoting directly from this NBC News article. Melu, manufactured

(01:01:54):
by the Chinese company Myriad, and one of the top
inexpensive search results on Ai toys for kids on AM
on what at times in tests with NBC News indicate
it was programmed to reflect Chinese Communist Party value.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
I love this one.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Why yeah, ask why.

Speaker 7 (01:02:08):
Chinese president Xijing Ping looks like the cartoon character Winny
de Pooh, a comparison that has become an Internet mean
because it's censored in China. And Malu responded that your
quote statement is extremely inappropriate and disrespectful, since malicious remarks
are unacceptable. And then when asked whether Taiwan is a country,
it said, quote, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China
that is an established fact, unquote or some variation of

(01:02:30):
the sentiment.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Nice propaganda coming from your child's toy.

Speaker 7 (01:02:34):
So yeah, it's it's propaganda. It's you know, dangerous advice.
How to light a match, how to sharpen a knife,
where to find knives, We talked about that one before.
But then you know the the kink angle and so forth,
and again you look at these photos. It's like a
cute little bunny. It lights up in this thing. That's
what this thing is exposing your kids to. So, you know,

(01:02:55):
Internet of things in general, I'm against, but now you
couple this with AI and the idea you're going to
hand this over to a kid, think it's some sort
of innocuous little toy that they're going to play and
quote learn from unquote, and I mean again, you just
I can't stress enough how parents and grandparents need to
understand this and do not buy this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
Read this article. It's a shocker.

Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
And then I encourage people to go share this article
with your kids, your friends, you know, so that folks
realize the potential inadvertent danger they're exposing their children to
through these things.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Just go to LinkedIn dot com and search for Dave Hatter.
That's where he'll post this article. Six forty teven, fifty
five KRCD talk station and finally Webster's word of the Year,
What's slop?

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Not what you want?

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Station six if you want fifty five KRCD talk station.
Happy Friday, Tech Briddy, Dave Hat or interest it dot
Com Day. Real quick, Eric reminded me yesterday was your birthday,
so happy belated birthday from specifically Eric, who have FB
Facebook messaged me instantly and from me the listening audience,
I hope you had a really nice one, And of
course from behalf of all of us, all of us,

(01:04:00):
show me all my listening audience, thank you for what
you do here on the Morning show, and a very
merry Christmas to you and your family. So I just
wanted to get that out. The other thing I want
you to do for me. I saw that there's a
lawsuit that was filed against the state of Indiana, or
rather against porn sites, most notably porn Hub. I've got
billions of people log into that site. Anyway, they outright

(01:04:21):
baned it as an accessible site in the state of
Indiana under the new legislation seeking to keep children protected
from pornography, a notable goal and a laudable goal. But
now because of the use of a VPN, people are
getting around it just by acting like they're in some
other states. So the age verification law doesn't come in
Indiana says you can't do that. You must use porn hub,
and it's soon to be every other provider of services

(01:04:43):
must flag VPNs and prevent VPNs from accessing porn in
the state of Indiana. That doesn't sound like a positive
direction for privacy purposes day, But maybe you can look
into that and maybe commented on it. When we get
back to the Tech Friday segment after the first of
the year.

Speaker 7 (01:05:00):
Look, we can look into that, but yeah, in general,
I understand what they're trying to do, but the idea
that you would ban the use of VPNs is not
a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Indeed, that was my conclusion immediately Slop Merriam Webster's new
word of the Year Dave obviously tech related.

Speaker 7 (01:05:19):
Yeah, so I thought this was kind of funny. So
there's been this talk of slop, the idea that AI
feeds off of the AI and that over time you
go towards something known in the business think of it
as entropy model collapse. You know, if essentially all the
human content has already been sucked up by these things,

(01:05:40):
and now people are using these tools to generate new content,
and this tool sucks down the content from that tool
generates some new content, and you get into this sort
of endless loop of now everything is just aig generated
you just sort of slowly go down, and you know,
there have been lots of people talking about this for
some time. I'm one of the concerns about these generative

(01:06:02):
AI models. Where we started out, you know, the chat
GPTs of the world large language model based things is
that over time, as they feed off of themselves, the
quality continues to go down because you have hallucinations, you
have bias, all these things we've talked about over the year.
So and there have been a lot of people pointing
out the sheer volume of videos and memes and so forth,

(01:06:26):
and how the Internet is now full of this stuff, right,
and it's just sort of taken over social media, and
again you get this thing feeding that thing. Here's something
that's not correct. Over time, you just go down. And
that's where this idea of slop come is in. So
someone I'm not sure who coined the term, someone coined

(01:06:47):
the term AI slop, and it's kind of stuck. And
I think it's pretty relevant where we're at with all
of this stuff. And that's the word of the year.
So I think in light of the sheer volume of
Internet produced garbage, these cat memes and all this stuff
you just see everywhere now, it's like, yeah, this is

(01:07:07):
a I think a pretty good indication of where we
are with this stuff at this point. So when you
hear someone say slop and obviously AI slop, sometimes people
will just throw out the term slop.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
That's what they're talking about.

Speaker 7 (01:07:23):
And it'll be interesting because you know, there's been so
much hype around this stuff, and I think a lot
of the hype has started to wear off and people
are starting to see that while these tools can provide
a lot of value. Again, I'm not saying they can.
I think it's been way over hyped. I think the
capabilities are way over hyped. And there are concerns by

(01:07:43):
people way smarter than me that work in this field
about things like this idea of model collapse and slop
and the hallucinations, and you know, are these tools going
to suddenly replace all of us?

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
I think the answer is no.

Speaker 7 (01:07:58):
Now, as I've said many times, Brian, I don't know
what's in some lab somewhere. I only know what I see.
I mean, we use this stuff, but we understand how
to use it within the guardrails. Yeah, we know what
it does and what it can't do, and where it
makes sense and where it doesn't make sense. So yeah,
I think this is an appropriate term. And it just
kind of makes me laugh a little because I've heard
people in the industry say it. But it's interesting that

(01:08:20):
it's now sort of caught on and bubbled up to
the surface.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Well, good more people understand the concept, more people appreciate
the limitations of AI just based upon that term in
and of itself, and you thank you so much. Dave
had to looking forward to count of your twenty twenty
six and return of this segment, assuming you're going to
continue doing it with us. I consider it to be
so valuable what you do here on the fifty five
CASA Mornings and of course throughout your career helping companies

(01:08:46):
avoid these types of problems interest it dot com. Thanks again, Dave,
and you up you up for next year?

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Oh absolutely, you know, Brian.

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
I always appreciate the opportunity you guys give me to
hopefully do some good out there and enjoy check with
you and Joe and appreciate you and Joe and all
your listeners. Mery Christmas, Happy New Year, and now look
forward to talking to you in January.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
That's welcome news, my friend. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
God bless you, sir. We'll get back. It's seven six

(01:09:27):
here at fifty five krs DE talk station. A very
happy Friday. He headed to the Christmas week next week,
and welcome back to the fifty five CASSEE Morning Show.
Love you coming on the program, and I know my
listeners love hearing from your Congressman Warren Davidson. Welcome back,
my friend. Always a pleasure, and Merry Christmas to you
and your family, sir.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
Merry Christmas, Brian, It's always an honor, Thank.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
You, Thank you, and let's dive on into it real quick.
Here I saw the Senate. I don't know if they
actually passed it, but they were pushing towards a mini
bus deal to fund the most of the government, about
eighty and nine eighty percent of the government combining in
this minibus like an omnibus, but not completely on steroids
like most of them. Department's offense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Commerce, Justice, Interior, Transportation,

(01:10:11):
and Housing and urban Development. So rather than multiple appropriation
bills approved individually, this lumps them all into one, so
there only remains a couple of departments that they have
to address. Sounds like it will keep the government running.
In other words, there's no threat of government shut down
if this goes through, although there will be a couple
of bills left. Is that something that sounds appealing to you?

(01:10:31):
Are you familiar with what's going on in the Senate?
And are you think you'd be on with this if
it gets handed over to the House for approval.

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
Well, they're bundling five bills together, and inherently that just
means that they're burying something that Democrats want in labor,
health and Human Services for example, to get things that
Republicans want in defense for example. So that's the transportation
and hud. You know, why do those things go together.
There's no made formula, it's just these are the deals

(01:11:02):
that are able to get cut often. And from what
I understand, they were close to a deal in the Senate,
and that's where it's a little vexing because they got
to have sixty votes and apparently the Democrats withhold their
support for the final package. So the Senate left town
without passing it, which is you know, the House hasn't
passed some of these things because you know, we don't

(01:11:23):
have the votes in the Senate. So they're really going
to be the driver for what the deal that can
get cut. Republicans would probably want something more aggressive than
could pass the Senate, but lately I don't know. I mean,
we got Republicans the speaker kept us out of session
when the Democrats shut the government down last time to
prevent the surrender Caucus from running over and cutting deals

(01:11:43):
with Democrats. And nevertheless, here at the end of the session,
we had four Republicans try to run over and form
a new surrender caucus. And you know, I found no
Republicans that said let's save Obamacare, but apparently four of
them wanted to save Obamacare here at the end. Thankfully
it didn't work well.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Perfect pivot over to the healthcare debate that continues to
go on. The surrenderco because, of course, of those folks
who are willing to extend these unbelievably expensive subsidies masking
the actual cost of Obamacare, which is a lustrative of
the fact that, well, it's an epic failure. Congressman David
the I think you can probably agree on that one.
But where are we in so far as something to advance.

(01:12:23):
I know, House Republicans passed a bill the other day
which I know the CBO said, with lower Americans health
care costs by about eleven percent, but it didn't extend
any subsidies. So I expect that the Democrats are all
against that, which leads us kind of where Congressman.

Speaker 5 (01:12:40):
Yeah, I mean, that's a good summary. Wednesday, the House
passed the healthcare bill. I mean we've I looked it up.
I mean we've had over two hundred hearings since twenty seventeen.
But the jurisdiction split up amongst multiple committees, so there's
not like a single unified Republican plan. There are dozens
of plans. So where the speaker cobbled together over the
last couple of weeks was a collection of things that

(01:13:03):
have overwhelming support by Republicans and Democrats normally would support
some of these things, but you know, they're trying to
steer towards single payer, and they're focused all on the
more free stuff for more people approach of it doesn't
lower the cost. It's n shifts who's paying, and in
fact it raises it. It causes more inflation. And look,

(01:13:25):
you think about Obamacare, this isn't even subsidies. The covid
era subsidies aren't even subsidies for traditional Obamacare. They're like
bonus subsidies generally aimed at the higher end of the
income bracket.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
You know, so.

Speaker 5 (01:13:40):
It isn't working. So if you look at it, well,
since twenty twenty one, these things have been getting paid
out as your insurance been massively better than ever before,
it hasn't. You've been getting double digit increases, you still
got the same big out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Of pocket maxes.

Speaker 5 (01:13:53):
You still have sometimes claim denied or sometimes oh what
are you talking about it? Out of network. I was
in the same building all day, and you get all
those same things that people are frustrated about. And Democrats
are counting on this sleight of hand to try to
blame Republicans for everything that you don't like about your
health care, and the reality is the Republican plan was, well,
let's talk about the broader market, not just the government

(01:14:15):
subsidy side of it, and deal with some things that
will make health care more affordable. It's not everything we
need to do on healthcare. I'm sure we're going to
keep talking about it all year, but it's a start,
and frankly, it puts Republicans ahead of where we were
in twenty seventeen when we couldn't get consensus.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
Well, I guess one thing that really just irks me
to know and want to pull my hair out every
time I read it. When the supplements or the subsidies
are talked about and rejected by Republicans, they Democrats scream,
you're not doing anything to lower the cost of health care. Well,
masking it is. All those subsidies do, is you point

(01:14:52):
it out, it increases the cost of health care. There's
no incentive to reduce the cost. We need a more
market flexible approach to this, something that'll create competition. But
aside from that as a concept, why not don't we
all agree that PBMs are no longer a necessary expenditure,
that they are driving the cost of pharmaceuticals up, that
they benefit no one but the hospitals and the PBM managers.

(01:15:14):
Why why don't we just all collectively agree we're going
to do one thing where you we're gonna all join
and unite to reject the use of pharmacy benefit managers
and then we can all move forward with other elements
of healthcare and deal with those later.

Speaker 5 (01:15:28):
Yeah, we can't get that across the finish line, which
is maddening it is. And so last year this time
this time last year, we had a bill there was
a major reform of the pharmacy benefit management program. It
got rid of stupid things like gag orders, where the
pharmacists isn't supposed to tell you, hey, if you just
do it this way, it costs you like ten bucks
instead of you know, one hundred bucks, or you know,

(01:15:49):
all those kinds of things that are just you know
offensive that they're even in practice. So we did on
the bill Wednesday deal with pricing for pharmaceuticals, but we
didn't do the broader pharmacy benefit management plan. And look,
Buddy Carter is an actual pharmacist from Georgia. He's a

(01:16:14):
member of the House right now, and he's tried to
do this forever. He's like, this is how these PBMs
are wrecking the pharmacy practice, and in particular, they're wrecking
independent pharmacists. So you can deal with the major mail
order outlets in a different way, but they're really trying
to consolidate the industry, which you know, let's the pharmacy

(01:16:35):
benefit managers control a handful of big guys versus having
to deal with a ton of independent pharmacists around the country.
It's bad for everybody, and I think broadly people agree.
But that's the kind of frustrating thing that goes on
in DC. You're like, well, we're trying to make the
speaker put it on the floor, but he's like, well,
we got these other members ten or fifteen that won't

(01:16:55):
vote for it, so it's going to fail.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
Okay, well, okay, in the minute we got here in
the segment, Congressman Davidson. Since everyone sees these well, the
vast majority except for a handful, I just want to
know what the handful of folks who want to protect
the PBMs have. What is their stake in the game.
What is their argument that they're valuable and not just
a cost enhancing thing.

Speaker 5 (01:17:19):
Well, this is exactly what my point is, Brian. You
got to put it on the floor. So then the
people know, Hey, here's the people that agree with the
personal benefit managers. Ask them why they think this is
a good idea. It's indefensible generally. And then that's the
biggest frustration overall. There's so much work that goes into
making sure we don't vote, and it's like, no, you

(01:17:41):
did all this work to get elected. You get a
voting card vote, and look, I get it. Sometimes you
get these tough votes where it's like, look, you don't
get to write an essay.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
It's yes or no.

Speaker 6 (01:17:51):
So so it's frustrating.

Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
Sometimes you're like, well there's a little nuance here. Well
then explain it and in price. When you're defending something
like pharmacy benefit managers, people are going to pay attention
because they're like, uh yeah, please explain.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
How about this as a concept standalone bill? Get rid
of pharmacy benefit managers is the bottom line of what
the bill says. Doesn't include any other provisions or anything
else related to any other element of aspect of healthcare.
Queue the bill up and then discharge position and force
everybody to come out and say out loud why they're for,
or just go ahead and get rid of them.

Speaker 5 (01:18:20):
Possible, Well, the discharge position might be a lane to try.
I don't know that effort's been tried. But that's the
single subject builds. This is the thing everyone talks about
it and just like the appropriations, you can't get a
single subject bill on appropriations because they got to do
the cobbling of the deal making together. It's the way
this sausage is made right and that you know, you

(01:18:43):
could respect it if it was working right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
But it isn't.

Speaker 5 (01:18:47):
And I think a lot of people want the transparency.
So maybe the discharge on the pharmacy that benefit managers
is the path that seems to be the only way
to get certain things to the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
Well, you can go feel free to advent. It's that idea,
and you can take credit for it too. Congressman Davidson's respect.
There you go. I'd love to talk with that guy.
I wonder what's going through his head. Answered a lot
of questions for me. Anyway, Congressman Warre Davidson, we're talking
Epstein files. Today's the day. I guess plus inflation came
in lower than expected by a little bit, which is
obviously a positive thing. Let's continue in a moment after

(01:19:21):
I mentioned calling electric power up your holiday sale that's
going on to the end of the month.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
And I.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Seven one to five KARSI Talk Station Friday with Congressman
Warren Davidson. Moving over. I guess today's the day. According
to the Epstein Act you had, the files have to
be released in searchable form. A lot of people saying
that's not going to happen for a variety of reasons.
Where are we on that one, Congressman Davidson, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:46):
I mean that's the law. It passed, I mean overwhelmingly,
and now the administration's got to comply with it. So
you know, we'll see see what they publish. You know,
we'll see whether it's a clean thing. But yeah, here's
my frustration. This is why I thought, like, well, the
discharge petition is interesting, but the real issue is when
is somebody going to jail and they're not going to

(01:20:07):
jail until Pam Bondi brings some charges or US attorneys
around the country bring charges, and it's like, where's the investigations.
We know these girls didn't traffic themselves because Jelane Maxwell's
in jail for trafficking. She trafficked them to somebody, So
where are the prosecutions? And I think that's where people
are rightly livid. Yeah, you know, even some of President

(01:20:28):
Trump's biggest fans, you know, and you know Trump didn't
take it well. I mean he he kind of unloaded
on Thomas Masky and Marjorie Taylor Green, I don't know,
largely over their their pressure on Epstein and it's like, look,
we love you, but what's going on here.

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
I share the same concern and disbelief. I mean, he
did campaign on releasing the Epstein files. Democrats wouldn't release
them when Joe Biden was in office, and then they
turned into the biggest supporters of releasing them as soon
as Donald Trump selected and after saying he wants some released,
he didn't does a one eighty, and then he says, no,
we don't need to release them. There's no there there.
I mean, that's the most confusing element of the presidency

(01:21:06):
thus far as far as I'm concerned, Congressom Massey, I
just don't get it. It's never been adequately explained to me.

Speaker 5 (01:21:13):
Yeah, and I mean I think that's part of where
the disclosure will, okay, help us understand. I mean, so,
you know, Dan Bongino's leaving. I don't know if this
is the only reason, but you know he was very
intent on this before he went to the FBI. He
becomes the number two at the FBI. You think this
is certainly one of the things that's going to change.

(01:21:34):
And you know, this is the thing I'm just thinking about.
You know, Frederick Douglass, you know, iconic Republican, former slave
earned his freedom, a lot of really good thinking in
some of his writings. But one of the points is
Powerson seems nothing without a demand.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
Here.

Speaker 5 (01:21:48):
You know, Massey led the discharged position, made the demand,
and the concession has been made. We'll see whether it's
made public today, But the real question is what are
the layers behind this that are still holding it back? Yeah,
how are we going to get the FBI, for example,
to be held accountable for anything? So look, I'm hoping
twenty twenty six in the new year is the year

(01:22:10):
of accountability.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Well, that would be nice, I mean, most notably considering
all the details now that have come out about these
the warrant that was issued on Donald Trump and the
storming of his residence in mar A Lago with guns
blazing or guns out and sirens and FBI officers coordinated
effort with CNN to be there on the scene. Apparently
they didn't even have probable cause to issue the warrant

(01:22:33):
in the first place.

Speaker 5 (01:22:34):
Congressman, Yeah, you keep skinning these abuses of the FBI,
And look, we have certain tools in place you want
to be able to stop terrorists and bad guys, but
everything that we use to design against enemies of our country,
these guys were weaponizing against Donald Trump. And so again,
Pam BONDI, when is somebody going to jail? People are

(01:22:56):
really livid about this, and I don't think it is
resonating enough. But you would think of all people. Bean
Dan Bongino totally gets it. You know, a lot of
this reason is podcast surged was this exact kind of
issue where where's the accountability? And he gets in a
position to do it, and you're like, well, who do

(01:23:16):
we need to send to reform the FBI? And maybe
the answer is it can't be reformed. We're just gonna
you know, the government brought the FBI into the world,
the government should be able to take it out. The
result needs to be done. We need law enforcement, but
they're not working. They're not responding, they're not steering. And
it's the same kind of thing usaid. We tried to

(01:23:37):
steer it, they wouldn't steer.

Speaker 6 (01:23:38):
We just got rid of it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
Congressman Warren Davidson, it is a pleasure to have you on.
I appreciate your willingness to come up on the show,
up in the morning show and talk to my listeners
and me on a regular basis. I'll look forward to
count of your twenty twenty six and continuing this and
on behalf again of my listeners. Joe Strecker myself to
you and your entire family, we wish you the merriest
of Christmas. Is Happy House safe travels if you're moving
about and look forward to hitting the ground running next year, Sir.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:24:06):
Likewise, goeed. Bless you and all your listeners.

topics with Andre right now returning to the fifty five
Cassee Morning Show. Head of the Ohio Republican Party, Alex
Cheronta Filo, always great having on the program. Alex, welcome
back in advance. Happy, happy Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
and your family.

Speaker 6 (01:24:45):
Well, Brian, thank you, and Merry Christmas and happy Holidays
and everything to you and your listeners. And always good
to be with you two.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Buddy. All right, I'm gonna get a we're gonna try
to do a bit of a year in review here
and then we'll look forward to twenty twenty six and
insofar as the latter topic and even the former topic
is concerned. I just wanted to get your reaction to
Governor de wine statements relative to V. Vike Ramaswami, who
I understand enjoys the Republican Party endorsement already. He won't
endorse him yet, and he really tried to salvage this

(01:25:13):
certain degree Doctor Amy Acton Amy Lockdown acting Democrat, he
appointed to be the medical director during COVID lockdown times.
She's the one that came up with the concepts like
let's not drink after ten pm, but you don't have
to go home at a bar. It didn't make any
sense Lockdown Amy Acton, but he provided her cover, saying
the buck stops with him, which I agree, but I
kind of wondered why he was trying to provide her

(01:25:35):
some cover and what his problem is with endorsing VI
vike Ramaswami, who does have the Republican Party endorsement. Alex
Wait covered.

Speaker 6 (01:25:43):
A lot of ground and it's all fair. So Brian,
I want to say this to you. First of all,
the vike Ramaswami did receive our full endorsement. You know,
I go way back with a bake. I've known him
a long time. He's an incredible candidate for the Republican Party,
very strong. Look, no matter what the Governor says, Amy
Actin is going to have to answer to Ohioan's for
her conduct in the same way that Anthony Fauci answered

(01:26:05):
for his conduct. It wasn't Joe Biden or Donald Trump
who made decisions and advised you know, non scientist, non doctors.
So Amy Acting is going to have to answer for
all of those things. You know, you can, the governor
can can continue to do what he's going to do.
But let me tell you it's not going to deter
us one bit from pointing out Amy Acting's absolute failures

(01:26:26):
in her job, and also to talk a lot about
the Viake Ramaswami in the incredible gifts and talents that
he brings in this job. So yeah, look, I I
do Ultimately Brian is the party's leader here in Ohio.
I expect the Governor will endorse the Republican nominee, and
that's going to be the Viake ramis Swami. I think
that's going to happen. I think in the meantime, you know,
the governor is going to stand up for, you know,

(01:26:47):
for what he did and say what he did was
what he did, and in one small way you respect it.
At least you know he's taken them. He's saying, Look,
I was the decision maker and that's kind of what
leaders do. But that is not to absolve Amy Act
in one bit for her lockdowns, for masking our children,
for shutting down businesses, and for all the other terrible

(01:27:08):
and I mean awful decisions that she put upon Ohio
and during the COVID disaster. So you know, there's not
going to be any absolution of her, you know, because
of what other politicians might say.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
Yeah, she's kind of hide behind Well, the information was unfolding.
We didn't have it all in front of us. We
were erring on the side of caution. Well, you didn't
have to shut the kids out of school, one of
the first states to do. So look what Florida did.
They didn't lock down, they didn't have any problems, and
there were multiple directions to go. And of course there
could have been a middle ground somewhere in there, I suppose,
but I mean she would full on shut down and

(01:27:41):
that ruined so many lives. So yes, I agree, we
will hold her fully accountable as we as we head
on into November. Also notable and again which makes me
really puzzled. Why Dwine won't just go ahead and give
his endorsement, which you expect and I do too. Ultimately,
there's no primary challenger. I mean, what's the weight all about?

Speaker 6 (01:28:02):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I've asked him, and you know,
I think he's just going running through his trap. So
what he has said to me is what you have
said publicly, and I wouldn't disclose it any he said
to me privately anyway, as you well know, Brian. But
I will tell you that he has said already publicly
that he intends to endorse. I think Camda Vak are
just having a little bit of a warming up period. Look,
this is all going to come together, and Ohioan's are
going to have a binary choice. I mean we're still nine,

(01:28:24):
you know, ten months away from the election. So the
answer is going to really be the Vake Ramaswami will
be the next governor of this great state. He is
going to have every advantage that the candidate needs. This
is still still very much a red state. The generic
polling which you know we ask people and polls, Brian,
or you're a Republican or a Democrat. It's still about

(01:28:45):
seven percentage points in the state. Donald Trump won this
state by eleven percentage points, so you know, we're we're
going to be in very good shape. And what we did, frankly,
what I did here at the Ohio Republican Party is
we endorse the Vake. We endorse them early. We have
recognized the general rational talent and one of the most
thoughtful conservative leaders in America, and we're lucky to have

(01:29:05):
him and Brian. I mean, I'm on the ground with
a vake all around Ohio, and I really I may
perhaps I'm put to hyperbole. Let me just say this
to you about that. The level of support, the excitement
that I've seen on the ground for vivike Ramaswami is
unlike anything I've ever seen for any politician other than
Donald Trump in Ohio and vivig showed up at Miami

(01:29:27):
University on a cold winter's night two weeks ago, and
their students lined up two blocks in the middle of
campus to hear from vivike Ramaswami. My man, that's not
happening for Amy Acton, That's not happening for even my
good friends on the Republican side, on the establishment side
who might show up. So it's an incredible thing. We

(01:29:48):
have a vake running and no political endorsement or anything
like that is going to Ultimately what gets it done
for him, what gets it done is his skills, his
acumen is a candidate and as a person, as a leader,
as a completely self made Cincinnati kid.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:30:04):
So it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be a fun campaign, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
It already is, yes, and he is such an inspirational speaker,
sort of Reagan asking his ability to charge a crowd
up and get them excited and positive thinking, it's wonderful
to behold. We'll bring Alex Chanance Tofilo back after these
brief worst beginning with plump type plumbing which others for
comedy Talk station seven fifty five KRC detalk station, Happy Friday,

(01:30:26):
Brian Thomas with a higher Republican Party Chairman Alex Chanontafilo.
Before we look forward, and I know the all important
midterm elections where the party that is not in presidential
power usually ends up scoring some extra seats. We'll get
your analysis of that in the next as we look forward,
but looking back on twenty twenty five, anything you're particularly

(01:30:47):
proud of that we got accomplished here in the state
of Ohio. It seems to me, in spite that we
are very red and we have an overwhelming well, the
Republican Party has an overwhelming majority in the state House.
They it's like hurting cats a lot of times. We
expect a lot more because we all think that the
Republicans will play nicely together in the name of benefiting
all Ohiolands. And yet it doesn'tlways seem to work out

(01:31:08):
that way. But what's your take on twenty twenty five
before we get to this upcoming year?

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
Alex, Well, Look, I.

Speaker 6 (01:31:15):
Mean, you know, some of this is inside baseball. But
for instance, my organization we contributed participated in mail for
one hundred and fifty six races. We won more than
one hundred and twenty of those. So look, I mean
in the suburban communities and the rural communities of Ohio,
we do very well. Look if you live here in Cincinnati,
not so good. And I look, I still spend about

(01:31:35):
half my time here, live on the West Side and
love my Hamilton County community. But look, I mean when
you get outside of the Beltway, of the three big
seas Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. You know, the Republican Party
does very well. But listen, Brian, you said it, the
pendulum swings back. I've been at this long enough to
know that the party out of power in fact does
suffer losses in the midterms. So we know, you know,

(01:31:58):
what the potential is here is that we we get
a bit of a correction back to the center, God forbid,
back to the left. So you know, we're fighting every
single day to keep that from happening. My further analysis
of twenty twenty five is that Republicans cannot stay home.
One of the things that's just kind of a natural
phenomenon in politics is that when the things that motivated

(01:32:20):
you to go out have been resolved, sometimes you know,
you tend to just say, well, okay, things are better.
For instance, the one issue that we have repeatedly seen
that motivated voters in twenty twenty four was the problem
at the southern border. Well, that's the problem has been solved.
So a lot of Republicans, you know, not the ones
day to day like you and me that are watching,

(01:32:40):
are like, okay, well, you know, we're not as energized
anymore because of the problem at the southern border, but
a lot of other problems, and we need to stay
fully engaged. Got to make sure they don't impeach President Trump.
So you know, twenty twenty five was a challenge in
the sense that Republicans did not, you know, get out
and vote in the numbers where we need them to vote.
If Republicans vote Brian in twenty twenty six and the

(01:33:03):
same way that they did in twenty twenty four in Ohio,
will win everything again. You know, we won everything in
twenty twenty four, really had blowout losses. Really in twenty
twenty four with Bernie Marino, we won. We ousted two
Democrats on the Supreme Court. You know, we won super
majorities in the House and Senate. So look, from a
political perspective, twenty twenty five left me a little disappointed

(01:33:25):
because our people need to get out and vote. And
that's the simple message for twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Well, and you know, since we move aside from the
whole healthcare debacle, which I think just illustrates the failure
of Obamacare generally speaking, but that is obviously one of
the Democrats' favorite talking points and we go into November,
the subsidies are gone, the supplet you know, the enhanced
premiums of there. Well, you know, that's just revealing the
reality of the failure of Obamacare. But that's an issue.
But the other issue that very difficult for Donald Trump

(01:33:52):
or any president to get on top of his inflation,
and inflation ticked up less this past month than they
were anticipating, but going up two point eight percent as
opposed to three point three percent. That's still going up
and is still beyond the desired rate of inflation. What
can you know? Inflation is so complicated. You know, the
price of eggs went up in large part because of
the bird flu. Who's that wasn't a political decision, that

(01:34:15):
was just the bird flu. The beef herds are way
down to night below nineteen fifties levels, the lowest they've
been since nineteen fifty. Our populations obviously gone up. You
can't just magically create cows to make the price of
beef go down, so that's kind of out of his hands.
So people want to point to these tariffs as being
an inflationary driver, but so far it hasn't been the
disaster that many of the gloom and dumers had predicted.

(01:34:37):
So what are we going to do about inflation if
that's everybody on everybody's hearts and minds as a dominant issue, Alex,
I think I think a couple.

Speaker 6 (01:34:45):
Of things are going to happen. First of all, and
again I'm not this is no spin for me. I
feel like my costs are down, maybe because Brian, I
spend so much time driving around the Great State of Ohio. Yay,
you know, my two dollars and thirty four cents I
know gallons is a significant safeties. I went from you know,
close to seventy dollars to fill my tank now to

(01:35:05):
sometimes as low as you know, under fifty dollars to
fill my tank. So I certainly have seen it. I
see at the end of the month on the credit
card statement that I, you know, peruse pretty carefully just
to kind of track our expenses. And you know it's
so I don't know, I personally have seen this change
on gas prices. Others perhaps have not. The polling kills
us we have not. You said it that inflation is

(01:35:25):
a complex problem. But what I think we're going to see,
what I'm confident we're going to see actually twenty twenty
six is you're going to see more take home paid
because of tax cuts. You are going to see the
tax cuts that we're already in place continue to kind
of drive higher incomes for Americans. You're going to see
a bigger tax return if you're a person who receives
a tax return. And I think you're going to see
this cost of energy Brian, that we just talked about,

(01:35:48):
that lower cost of energy should begin to continue to
bring down inflation. I mean, inflation is at the lowest
point that it's been at since COVID. The policies of
President Trump are working. But again, as the President said,
you know, Rome wasn't built overnight. Joe Biden did, in
fact and us a crisis on the inflation and on

(01:36:09):
the economy. The laws that he passed when he entered office.
That's blooded our economy with a lot of dollars and
a lot of sort of free printed government money created
the ininflationary crisis. And it's just going to take a
while to make it, you know, to fix it. It's
not going to be fixed overnight. The American people must
understand that this is a problem that is complex and

(01:36:30):
it's going to take some time to fix. But look,
I think people are going to see relief and already
seeing relief, but are going to see even more relief
first quarter, if not completely in the first quarter, first
half of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Well, it'll be nice to get a relief from our
Duke energy bill because of course that keeps going up
and up. Thankfully, we're not living in the North East
region of the country where they've gone so far Green
New Deal that they're having rolling power outages and they
have an insufficient supply of electricity to fund the ever
growing demand on the grid, artificial intelligence being one of
the drivers, at least under the Trump administration, we're backing

(01:37:01):
off that nonsense and we're going in a saner direction,
which will provide us relief, you know, cheaper energy prices.
That's just one of the drivers of people's inability to
even own a home because you got to deal with
that energy bill. That's an easily accomplishable goal, but it
does take time. Alex what no question about it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:20):
And I'll tell you this is to talk for a
minute about the vake Ramaswami again, a Vek is just
absolutely eloquent on what we need to do. In this state.
To make this an energy producing state may just free
up the market. The market will drive this, Brian. We're
both free market capitalists. If we allow the free market
to operate to produce energy in the state, and we'll

(01:37:40):
be able to not only keep up with the demands
which are growing, but also exceed those demands and make
us a net exporter of energy. But again, you have
to be a free market capitalist, remove regulation, walk away
from this the Green New Deal scam that we all
know as a scam. So you know, hopefully all those
things come together to drive them as energy prices and

(01:38:01):
bring down the prices of everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
Alex Jeantfilo, you are always welcome on the fifty five
Carcy Morning Show. I appreciate you willingness to speak with

merry Christmas slash Happy Holidays to all members of the
Cincinna law enforce community. We really appreciate you and what
you do. Tiffany, go fine and think about kerc DE
talk station half eight Friday. A man I thoroughly enjoy
his post on Facebook. Outspoken he is. He doesn't speak
for anybody but himself, but excellent observations he makes and

(01:40:16):
speaking truth to power quite often. Retired since a police
officer after a storied, I believe, thirty year career, he
is involved with a group called Curse Breakers three hundred strong.
It's a prison ministry advocate. He is a man of
faith and a man who's outspoken. Welcome back, Brother Dre
aka Andre Ewan. Good to have you on the morning show, sir.

Speaker 8 (01:40:37):
Good morning, my man, Brian Man. I wanted to see
in person this morning, but ran into a couple of
win troubles from last night. But it's all good. How
you doing.

Speaker 2 (01:40:45):
It's all good when we're talking to you, brother, and
I really would like to be seen across of the
board here, but that's okay. We'll do that again next year.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:40:51):
I'm hoping to have you on during counteryear twenty twenty six.
I'm doing great. You're getting geared up for the holidays,
going to celebrate Christmas. Andre Yes, sir.

Speaker 8 (01:41:00):
Just all about peace and happiness.

Speaker 1 (01:41:02):
That's it.

Speaker 8 (01:41:03):
That's what we're practicing. Just making sure we have peace
that are surpass all understandings.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
Amen to that. That's one of my favorite phrases, Peace
of God. It passes all human understanding. It's like a
lot of things in politics. Maybe it's like the one
point eight million dollars settlement to the protesters during the
twenty twenty Floord protest. Let's start with that one. Andre
I understand from a lawyer's perspective, I understand the argument
that was made by the protesters. Listen, we have a

(01:41:31):
First Amendment right to well, to protest, to speak politically,
to gather together in groups. And the riot situation was
there was a mixed bag of people who were just protesting,
but also people who were breaking the law, and things
got apparently out of control. I know, the mayor put

(01:41:53):
a curfew in place, and so all these people who
were gathered together and put over in the Hamilton County
lock up in that area. I can't remember what they
called that, but it was sort of an outdoor area
and held there for a while, filed this lawsuit claiming
that their civil rights got violated. So, yeah, we do
have the First Amendment, but there were a lot of
crime in there. Apparently the police arrested them for the

(01:42:14):
curfew violation, not for specific crimes like blocking the street
or throwing off frozen water bottle or something like that
that would result in a separate criminal or could result
in a separate criminal charge, but because they were curfew violations,
they claimed it was a civil rights violation, So ultimately
the city wrote them a check for one point or
eight point one million dollars, which translates about twelve to

(01:42:36):
thirteen thousand dollars per protester. As a former police officer
and someone who understands the situation, Andre Ewing, what's your
take on all this and what's your reaction to the settlement.

Speaker 8 (01:42:47):
Well, of course you add over four hundred and seventy
nine plaintiffs and here you have a payout, and people
do understand this. What I call this game is to
get into certain groups, get into a protesting type situation,
and to bait the police so they can actually sue.

(01:43:09):
And this is interesting because this happens in a lot
of different places around the country. I mean, but to
really look deeper into an eight point one million dollar settlement,
I mean, the way the arrests were, they were a
lot of individuals that was told was being reckless. So

(01:43:30):
it's interesting that it was strictly just being a curfew violation.
And that's where city leaders should have came together and
been more specific that am I just going to arrest
you and place you in the Hamilton count of Justice
Center on a specific pod because you violated a curfew,

(01:43:51):
and so is it you violated a curfew or you
were being reckless during this twenty twenty George Floyd Racial Justice.
So the clarity is extremely weak and it would be
interesting to see what was the actual plan, to be
honest with you, buy the police during this encounter to

(01:44:15):
just arrest individuals that were violating the curfew.

Speaker 2 (01:44:19):
Yeah. I talk with former FOP President Dan Hills about this,
and he was very upset about this the settlement. But
I pointed to him and it's like, listen, from a
you know, lawyer perspective, From a constitutionalist perspective, you do
have the right to free assembly, and that trumps the
curfew argument I would make, because you know, adults are
allowed to go out at any given time and assemble.

(01:44:41):
But peaceable assembly is different than breaking an individual law. Like,
for example, in the middle of the street you're blocking traffic,
you can be cited for just that. It doesn't matter
what the time of day is, doesn't matter if you're
involved in protest or free speech. You're out in the
middle of the damn road. You can't be there. Here's
a ticket for that. If every one who was arrested

(01:45:02):
got an individual ticket. Under that type of scenario, then
I don't think you'd see this lawsuit. They wouldn't have
the civil rights argument that they made. But the problem was,
as it was explained to me, is that there were
so many people there it's virtually impossible for law enforcement
to figure out who's standing on the sidewalk versus who's
in the middle of the street, who's peaceably assembling, and

(01:45:23):
who's not. And so you just gather them all up
and tell them they all violated the curfew. That it
was the impetus behind the lawsuit. So what's your having
been a police officer for so many years, I mean,
that's it. I suppose that's a genuine problem parsing through
the lawbreakers and the ones that aren't.

Speaker 8 (01:45:38):
And you know what, Brian, this is why I say
that I would love to see the body cam footage
from from point A to point B where they were arrested.
Let me see the details, what was actually presented that
was there or did you have officers just being reckless

(01:45:58):
and going in and arresting just anybody. And that's where
I'm sure that there were specific individuals that they probably
just gathered up that let's just say were in the
crowd and we're trying to assemble peacefully, and we know
that is what generated the actual complaints. And once you

(01:46:19):
start getting one and two and three good complaints, you're
going to get one hundred more following.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
No question about it. So, had there been better management,
in other words, had the mayor gotten more actively involved
or sharel long gotten more actively involved as city manager
or council getting more actively involved in directions to the
police department. I guess I'm just wondering where the breakdown
comes in, you know, explaining to them, though you just
can't randomly pick up people for peaceably assembling, you got

(01:46:46):
to have a specific crime. Is that the kind of
directive as a police officer when you were a police officer,
as you currently understand things, is that the kind of
thing you would expect council, the manager and or the
mayor to do in advance of the obviously knowing that
these pro tests are going on. Hell, it had been
going on for several days, So what do you expect
them to do?

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
Well?

Speaker 8 (01:47:06):
See, this is what happens, Brian, when the left hand
doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and the
lack of communication and I'm gonna be honest with you
no matter what situation I was in. I remember the riots,
even with Tim Thomas and that particular situation, and at
the time, I'm gonna be the supervisors were ridiculous. And

(01:47:29):
this is where you really have to sit back and
ask what are we doing at this particular time, how
are we doing it? And make sure te's a cross
and i's or dotted. So Somewhere in this particular situation,
somebody clearly dropped the ball and they just grabbed a
group of individuals and said, hey, we're gonna get these

(01:47:50):
officers down here if they across the street the wrong way,
arrest them. And this is where the breakdown is in communication.

Speaker 1 (01:47:58):
And tea.

Speaker 2 (01:48:01):
Fair enough. Now your takeaway, did they collectively learn anything
from this on a going forward basis? New practices or
protocols put into place so we don't have to continue
to write checks andre.

Speaker 8 (01:48:15):
You know what, I guess the answer will be, we
will soon see because we both know that there's going
to be another type of protest, another type of rioting situation,
and this is where leadership matters and making sure that
the right people are in place that these things don't

(01:48:35):
continue to happen again.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
All right, well, I'll tell you what we almost out
of time in this segment. I'm gonna break a little
bit early and let you know in advance on this
particular topic. Law enforcement generally and writing checks want to
hit you for what's the status on the Chief Washington situation?
Do we learn anything from that Chiefdiji? Do we ever
get a reason for why they put her on administrative leave?

(01:48:58):
That one seems to be swirling with question and doesn't
it not look like we're going to be writing a
couple of very large checks in connection with their cases
against the city. Let's continue with Brother Dre Andre, you
and curse Breakers three hundred strong. It's eight fourteen right now.
We'll be right back after these brief words.

Speaker 4 (01:49:14):
Fifty five krc You want to give the gift they'll
actually use this holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
Purec the talk station eight eighteen I fifty five KRCD
talk station, Happy Friday. Brother Dre, you can call him
Andre Ewing if you like. That's his Facebook page Andre
A N. Dre e Ewing e Wing. I follow him
all the time. He does great rants. He's on the
program for this hours talking about matters going on the
city of Cincinnati before we get into the questions I

(01:49:40):
have about former fire Chief Washington and the currently on
administrative leave dismissed police chief three So, Thigi, I see
that you are going to have a brand new web
page after the year. Is that the one you want
people to go to after the first of the year
or are you going to stick with Andrea Ewing. I'm
just letting my friends know so they can check out
what you got to say.

Speaker 8 (01:49:59):
Andre, Yes, sir. After the first of the year, it'll
go back to Curse Breakers three hundred dash, brother Dre,
and all the content will be pushed over to that
particular page.

Speaker 2 (01:50:13):
Fair enough, And you want to remind my listeners what
you do with Cursebreakers three hundred. I know it's prison ministry,
but just put a little more information on the bones
of that general description because I think it's a great
thing you're doing.

Speaker 8 (01:50:26):
Yeah, Curse Break is three hundred dis designed to assist
and help individuals to come over what I call supernatural
strongholds of things in their life, and so it burst
in the prison system to just give people hope before
they get released and to have them in a stronger mental, physical,

(01:50:48):
and spiritual position. So it just expands outside of prison
because everyone in life is going through some strongholds they
need to break.

Speaker 2 (01:50:56):
Isn't that true? And if you had to boil it
down to the single most are the predominant reason any
of the men that you work with in prison and
try to turn their lives around why they got there
or how they got there? What would you point to,
Andre if I can even put you on the spot
along those lines, Because you know a lot of reasons
people get into crime, but I think maybe the deterioration
of the family. I know drugs are quite often involved,

(01:51:18):
but what drives a person to crime in them for
the most part that you've seen.

Speaker 8 (01:51:24):
Is exactly what you said. That stronghold is extremely deep,
that upbringing death surrounding they I talk to kids even
at are ten years old, and we've always asked how
did you start getting hooked on drug? And they say, oh, wow,
I learned it from my dad or my mom or

(01:51:44):
an adult. And so family is a key component on
individuals that are incarcerated and a.

Speaker 2 (01:51:53):
Key component to success as well. Strong family is more
likely to lead to success regardless of income. I would argue, correct, Andre, correct, correct, You.

Speaker 8 (01:52:03):
Be surprised I've seen strong families break through the utmost
just strong holds just because they have that family support.
So it can work both ways.

Speaker 2 (01:52:15):
Yeah, and sometimes in the absence of family, that's where
faith can be a great substitute. There is still some
hope and some reason to be a strong, positive, crime
free individual. All right, brother Dre, let's pivot over here.
We had the whole problem in the lawsuit that ensued
as a result of Chief Washington, the fire chief getting dismissed.
Looks like they're going to be writing a pretty big check.
I think all errors indicate that the city of Cincinnati's

(01:52:38):
on the hook. Now we've got police Chief Threes of
Thigi and after the summer violence, she was put on
I guess paid administrative leave and was left with a
substitute chief. Have you heard a specific reason why they
took that action against police Chiefdiji? Because I haven't heard
a reason. It's almost as if they said, all right,
you're off the job, and then they're going to go
investigate on why they were moved her from the position.

(01:53:01):
Is it like a ready fire aim or Am I
missing some of the facts.

Speaker 8 (01:53:05):
No, you're not missing the facts. And this is the
ridiculousness of the city manager and the leadership. It just
appears that they have blank checks to write for everyone.
And even though I've been outspoken on the leadership of
Chief Thiji and the way things went, the way that

(01:53:26):
the mayor and the city manager have conducted this process
has just been sloppy across the board. Mike Washington, the
fire former fire chief, should have never been fired in
the first place. I mean, there's no reason, no evidence whatsoever,
So to have somebody abuse their authority and consistently abuse

(01:53:49):
their authority, it's interesting how the city is okay with
all these checks that are being written out that they're
going to have to pay. And at some point it's
people are gonna have to prove a point to say
we support this type of nonsense by being silenced, or
are we just gonna not support the city and move out.

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
Well, and I'm sure a lot of people making choices
along both of those lines. But you know, the big
component and all of this for me is usually and
is in this particular case. Why so you can say
they're abusing their authority, Yes they are, at least it
seems to be so. But if they even if they
came out loud and said we have removed Chief Fiji
for this or these reasons. At least you could put

(01:54:33):
look to the reasons they cited and say, well, that
is beyond your authority. There's no reason to dismiss her
for that. Or we could collectively say, you know what,
that's a pretty good reason. It sounds like you got
something to hang your hat on when she ultimately sues
you for wrongful termination or reputation violation or something like that.
Instead we get nothing, and you're not gonna get nothing.

Speaker 8 (01:54:53):
And that's why at the beginning, Let's say you you
make these decisions. At the beginning, when the majority of
pleasolice officers said, hey, look, we don't think Chiefdiji is
the actual best choice, you decide to choose her anyway.
And there are sources that say that Cheryl Long clearly

(01:55:14):
clearly stated that this is my pick and I cannot
get this wrong. Okay, So you fires or put somebody
on administrative lead that you selected. So you are part
of the problem. And so I've always been very very
clear I'm not letting any of them off the hook.
But it still starts with Sheryl Long and where is

(01:55:37):
her experience to start to just fire individuals who may
or may not deserve it and does not do the
proper investigation. And here we are again with this foolishness,
this nonsense, talking about this going into the new year,
making more and more payouts on ridiculous information and how

(01:56:00):
people leave this city. And plus it was a political
move during the time, very strategic to get rid of Fiji,
so at have to kind of separate hisself from that process.

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
That sounds like a political motivation. It sounds like a
pretty strong argument you're making there, Andre Ewing. I'm just wondering.
And we'll talk about this in the next segment when
we continue with Brother Dre. Did Iris Rowley have anything
to do with that? And what's with this six hundred
and fifty some one thousand dollars ever increasing sweetheart deals
she has with the city of Cincinnati And how much
controlled and power does she have. It's an unusual thing

(01:56:33):
we've got going on here in the city. Will continue
with Brother Dre. Take twenty five right now. If you
biy KRSD talk station, this is fifty five KARC and
iHeartRadio fifty five kr CD talk station. A very happy
Frida Aga much like Todd Senser citizen Watchdog, farmer inspector General.
He was on the program earlier this week talking about
some of the shenanigans going on with city council, the
Mayor's office, et cetera. Andrea Ewing brother Dre would like

(01:56:55):
to call him. He calls himself that Andrea Ewing On Facebook,
he rants regularly, you know about some very important topics
in the city. Former law enforcement officer thirty years on
the force, might write on that was thirty full years, Andre,
It was about just.

Speaker 8 (01:57:09):
Short of thirty. So let's just say twenty nine. And
once you get over the half this thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Years, there you are. I'll round up for you. And
well what it's easy to do with you man?

Speaker 1 (01:57:18):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:57:18):
Pivoting over, We talked a little bit about the whole
chief situation and the problems with that. Something tells me,
because she's been around for a long time. She has
a very very big contract with the City of Cincinnati,
and she is a profound critic of law enforcement. You know,
or I guess iris rollie Andre. They just re upped
her contract apparently two days after the election. They didn't

(01:57:40):
want that to be an election issue, so she's got
a bigger contract. And I note from prior reporting that
I've read around from other news outlets that she directed
some of the money to her husband to print T
shirts and hoodies and things of that. She hired her
son to do some of the work on Government Square
with regard to the youth violence, having so a lot

(01:58:01):
of nepotism going on in there, but being a subcontractor
not an employee of the city, I guess she's allowed
to do that, although it looks terrible. What's your take
on her involvement in all this? How did she become
such a powerful player in the city and how is
it they keep bringing her back year after year after year.

Speaker 8 (01:58:16):
Andre Clear was the start here. Iris Rowley is untouchable,
Okay at this point in the game of things that
we've witnessed since two thousand and one, in her direct
involvement with Tim Thomas the shooting, she has not stopped
from that point. And interesting enough, she has done some

(01:58:39):
say good things with police reform, but it has gone
to a point of being overboard. I've been very vocal
about saying what exactly is her position? You got to
remember that Astab got in office strictly from Iris Rowley
beating the streets for him twice. Okay, she was the

(01:59:00):
she was the one who started advocating advocating for AFTAB
early when he was elected, and he of course hired
her to city hall.

Speaker 1 (01:59:11):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (01:59:11):
She's been a consultant for sure long and that's been clear.
And she also was a extreme selection for Chief Aji.
So Iris Rollie right now is above the law and
she's moving in that same direction. So it doesn't matter
basically what goes on or what people say, what's her payout,

(01:59:35):
her husband's getting something. If AFTAB City Manager, council is
allowing it and she and she's a consultant for the city,
then do you look at Iris Rolly or you'd you
look at the leadership that's saying, hey, this is what
we are giving you the power to do, and no
one's gonna touch you, and you're going to have all

(01:59:59):
the backing necessary to do whatever you want. And that's
clear and that as obvious in the way that she
moves and operates.

Speaker 2 (02:00:07):
So because of her, I'll say that we use the
word popularity within a lot of people within the community.
She wields a lot of power over who those folks
in the community vote for I don't understand blind allegiance Andre,
but that's just apparently the way it is. Now. Considering that, well,
we'll just say we've got some issues with Iris Rolly
in these contracts, and let's just say, the City of

(02:00:29):
Sinsinaty is this is too much. We're gonna break ties
with her. You know, I know you said she's untouchable,
and I agree with you because that's the way it seems.
Does anybody really think if they cut Iris Rolly loose
in advance of that election, that Cory Bowman would be mayor? Now,
I mean, could she go out there and all these
blue Democrat, very blue folks that live in the city,
would they actually listen to her and not vote for

(02:00:51):
a haveta have provall since he was the only Democrat
on the ticket. That much power?

Speaker 8 (02:00:56):
Yes, I'm gonna actually say she has that much power,
you know, to see, she's at every political event, She
has her hand in everything. She has the support of
Damon Lynch has a lot of powerful pastors and business
owners in the city. You don't get to move the

(02:01:18):
way she moves without having some serious, serious, major players
that are backing you up.

Speaker 1 (02:01:24):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (02:01:24):
And so when people constantly say, man, how can she
move this way and that way? Hey, guess what if
your big brother says I don't care what you do,
I got you, guess what, you will go in and
bully anybody anytime, anywhere and have a voice in any position.
If you look on any news, speeds or what have you,

(02:01:46):
IRIS is always in the background somewhere. And so it's
been clear that the aftab the council saying, hey, this
is what We're gonna write you a check to do
these things. But I've always just said, hey, where's the
money going, how is it distributed? Let's see the numbers

(02:02:08):
of the total success and make sure you're transparent to
the city.

Speaker 1 (02:02:14):
Yeah, to show these numbers.

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
Yeah, and she's doing a great job and achieving the
goals that she was paid, that she's being paid to do,
then they should all be walking around trumpeting that. But apparently,
and this is kind of thing I learned from Todd
Zinzer and others, all the money that goes out to
these various very political, non governmental organizations to do work
in the community of whatever variety, nobody's following up the

(02:02:36):
scene if that's even being done. The money goes out.
There's no accountability. It just keeps going out. And I
worry about that because when you send out that kind
of money on a short budget we've got anyway, maybe
that money is going out because it finds a loop
right back into the pockets of candidates running for office.

Speaker 8 (02:02:53):
Right there's a lot of issues that's going on, and
I've been clear to say, when you have things that
or this extreme, then maybe a federal audit needs to
come in and just look at the entire process. Just
do a federal audit, see where these numbers, this money
are being moved into certain hands, and get it from

(02:03:17):
the top down. Because then if you do that, I
guarantee you once again follow the money, and then you
will understand exactly how these things are being maneuvered. But
if no one questions that you can do whatever you
want when you're you're the sole bank in this.

Speaker 2 (02:03:34):
Project, yes you can, Undre A young plause will bring
you back. We'll give you get a comment or two
on speaking of money, Follow the money, a ftab's car
trouble money. Receive the talk station A forty if you
have care see the talk station Brian Thomas with Andrea
Ewing Andrea Ewing on Facebook follow him. He's on some
excellent terrors and really things that make you go hmm.

(02:03:56):
He's speaking his heart and mind on matters he's familiar with.
And as we pivot away from Iris, rolly over to
Aftab parval I learned from Todd Zenser the other day
when he was on our Citizen Watchdog. He was a
former Inspector General for the federal government. We were talking
about this very issue Atab missing his car payment and
having his car repossessed. Embarrassing, yes, but he mentioned that you,

(02:04:17):
as a federal government employee, they're not allowed to miss
their payments because it creates an opportunity for maybe bribery
or extortion. So there's good reasons. Do you want your
elected officials or those working in government to be free
from that possibility. So here we have Aftab Purvoll running
one of the larger cities in the state of Ohio,
can't even manage his own finances and a really lame excuse. Andrea,

(02:04:41):
I know you heard it. He came out and said, well,
he had problems with his payment app as if he
wouldn't have gotten notices independent of that app that he
was behind in his car payment so much so that
they were going to come and repossess his car. What's
your take on this, brother, Dre.

Speaker 8 (02:04:56):
That's my take on it. I'm laughing because this is re.
I mean, at the end of the day, how can
you take care of the city if you can't take
care of your own home. And it comes down to
the responsibilities of things that are in place. I'm not
going to give you a pass on that. I mean,

(02:05:17):
I've never missed the car payment, never and avtab is
in control of way more money than I am, so
at the end of the day, it was just a
people can say, an honest mistake. No, it was once
again neglect, just sloppy what I call bookkeeping. And if
you can't even manage your own financial account, then I'm

(02:05:38):
gonna go back to what I said prior to our conversation.
Let's do an entire federal audit on the money since
you've been in office, and let's see where the money goes,
because this is just a tell tale of the issues
and what has been involved since you've been in office.

Speaker 2 (02:05:56):
Yeah, and he's obviously paid well in mouth he should
be able to afford a car payment. I don't know
what his financial situation is, but embarrassing at minimum. So
and again lame excuse coming out of the gate after that,
no follow up either. I haven't heard anybody press them
on well did you get any notices? Did they get
reach out to you? Your car just was gone one
day and you had no idea ahead of time that

(02:06:16):
that might happen. I don't buy that for a minute.
Andrew another one of your rants December fourth, on affordable housing,
the Wizard aftab strikes again. What were you ranting on
about this one? Andre?

Speaker 8 (02:06:28):
Hey, I've said he's deanly he will look you dead
in your face and tell you public safety was number one,
two and three on his list, and I know from
a police officer standpoint that it was not. He only
came forward on it when he was pushed into a corner.
And the Sarah Heringer situation put everyone on blast. And

(02:06:51):
so here we are again with a housing situation. He
knew this was going to happen, it was already in place.
And if you want to build a house, and it's
interesting that Corey Bowman actually talked about that how these
properties are being placed and built and it's just a
setup for say, here's a affordable housing of six hundred

(02:07:14):
a month, but at time when it comes, guess what
it's going to raise through the roofs. So what if
he say, Oh, I had absolutely no clue. I'm just
totally upset. Here we go again. You didn't have a
clue about your car payment, and now you didn't have
a clue about something as serious as property in the
City of Cincinnati that has to come across council when

(02:07:35):
your death. I'm not buying it, and the city better
start paying attention.

Speaker 1 (02:07:39):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:07:39):
One of the things that gave Corey Bowman at least
some traction was how the mayor treated the Hyde Park
residents in the Bond Hill residence with this connected community's nonsense,
this one size fits all. You will build in accordance
with these very limited standards, or you're not going to
build at all. I mean, how do you expect to
achieve afordable housing when you don't give neighborhoods the flexibility
they need to do what they believe in that is

(02:08:00):
in their best interest. I find that very puzzling.

Speaker 8 (02:08:03):
Oh, it is very puzzling. And I've already said affordable
housing is a it's a trick to get other things
in place. And if you look all across the city,
affordable housing is going to be a thing of the past.
You you can't you can't even get anything that's affordable
nowadays in the neighborhood. So this is going to backfire.

(02:08:28):
I've seen it backfire. I've seen how things operate in
this city, and it's going to get worse. I remember,
if you can remind me, Brian, what was the the
train situation downtown that they were trying to promote, and
they they voted the city voted it down, but over

(02:08:49):
time it ended up costing the city millions. Anyway, with
the streetcar, the streetcar exactly now, when that was going on,
let me tell you something. Let me tell you something,
and this is this is a fact. When that was
going on and they said they voted it down, I'm
doing details downtown Cincinnati and I'm and they're digging up

(02:09:11):
the streets. And I asked, what project do you have.
He said, oh, this is the streetcar. I said, well,
I was voted down. He said, well, he said, that's
above my pay grade. They told us to start digging.
It's going to get passed. And guess what it got passed.
And that's a fact. That's not that's not something I'm
sitting here making up. You can go back and look

(02:09:32):
at my say details when I was doing as an officer,
and that was getting placed in before it was passed.

Speaker 2 (02:09:40):
So the rumors that are swirling, and I've heard from
quite a few what I consider connected people that they're
talking about, at least behind the scenes, a second leg
of the street car, even if they deny it, that
maybe coming forward at some point. Considering the history we've
got with the street car here, Andre.

Speaker 8 (02:09:57):
Yeah, at this point, Brian, what is this city doing.
I'm telling you this city is in trouble and people
better pay attention because even in my past posts I
said you want Gotham City overall, you're going to get
Gotham City. Whether it's the streetcar, whether it's this crazy
case going on with Elmwood Jones, theaters and Connie Pillage.

(02:10:20):
This city is on edge, and you got the Henderson
case coming up next month. I'm telling you right now, brother, Brian,
this city is on edge and this is going to
be a hot mess New Year's and spring and summer
coming up. Just get ready.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
I wish you had more better news on that one.
But I can't argue with you on that, Andrea, it
does appear that things are heading in that direction on
that dismissal that murder case. After all the dispositive evidence
and the guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, all the appeals
that that guy went through, he's on death row thirty years,
they ultimately dismiss it. Question, do you think iris Roy
had anything to do with that?

Speaker 8 (02:11:06):
I always ask how did Emwood Jones name even come up?

Speaker 6 (02:11:12):
What was the.

Speaker 8 (02:11:14):
I know they have the innocence projects and they look
into evidence or what have you, But how did his
name even come up? And what's interesting is, of course
Deeters released the letters that was uh uh that signal
ninety nine posted as well, and and Deeters has expressed
his outrage and and even the family had expressed their

(02:11:38):
outrage of talking about where they're disappointed, Connie Tilly said, no,
they are outraged of this. Uh this process. So this
go once again now opens the door to investigate everything
that Deaters and his investigative team has touched and to see,

(02:11:59):
uh is there any wrongful convictions? Because that's what Connie
Pillage clearly said that they said, this office got it wrong.
And that's a deep, deep statement.

Speaker 2 (02:12:10):
Well, it is, most notably considering the appellate record. They
took it all the way from the state court through
the state process, and the defendant moved over to the
federal court and pursued federal processes, and all the courts
said no guilty and there was nothing there to even consider.
So I don't get this, and that's why it's big
question mark for me. And that's kind of why I
threw the irus' early question because who brought this to

(02:12:33):
their attention? And I believe in that project. I don't
think a man should be spending a moment time in jail.
It didn't commit the crime, and let's get him out
of jail if he was convicted wrongfully. But in this
particular case, they just don't have the facts on that one,
at least that's my take on it. Most notably after
what the Supreme Court Justice Deeter said about when he
was Hamilton County prosecutor and how the case was prosecuted.

(02:12:54):
Brother dre Andre Ewing Finem on Facebook follow him you'll
love his rants. I appreciate you joining the program today
and on behalf of my listening audience. Joe Streker, the producer,

in bold and all caps. Take care of brother Dre.
