about that. He told me last He's like, no, what
(01:37):
news smithman's running for council? Well really, he said, yeah,
I knew about it last week. I was keeping a
lid on it until he talked with someone from the Inquirer.
So I figure it's common news. Apparently it is common news.
Joe Drecker knew about it last week. He didn't let
me know. Christopher, what's up? I thought we were friends.

Brian James Ato five for that. At thirty with my
friends from Emory Federal Credit Union, Todd Kine, CEO of
share Facts Credit Union. Actually they've been in they got
into a merger. So the name of the Emory Federal
Credit Union I believe is subject to change. We're going
to ask Todd about that. But we'll also learn about
(02:44):
the golf outing coming up very quickly, Rose Cares since
Ava returns. We'll get a recap of the Voa Country
Music Fight Festival, and then yes, the Veteran Appreciation Day
coming up on August twenty third, and man Ton is
flying Jeez Louise anyway five three seven, four nine fifty
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talko with
(03:05):
Pound five fifty on at and t phones. Someone else
who's running for since I City Council. Steve Gooden, our
legal expert from the law firm Report Variety, chimes in
on matters legal all the time. You're in the fifty
five carsis morning show. Brilliant man he is, and an
outstanding candidate for since I City Council. An alternative to
the same old, same old that we've been engaged in
now for what seems like forty years. Anyway, he posted
(03:27):
on his Facebook post, I just spent some time with
West End residents who described what happened last night. This
post from yesterday, so I'm assuming he's talking about Saturday night.
We wouldn't know because there's been no reporting on this.
He says fifty to sixty shots fired along Clark Street
by the football field, hitting park cars in at least
one house, showing a picture of a bullet that passed
(03:50):
through the taped window. Said automatic gunfire. No arrests, not
in any stats. And along with that he posted I
guess some stats from Thursday. Wow, lots of crime going
on in downtown Cincinnati. Got an assault Walnut Street close
to three pm. I don't know what other is in
terms of the crime stat it's got to leave that go.
Got an arrest at five point thirty Garfield Place, assault
(04:15):
on the seventh again three pm, East Court Street, assault
nine thirteenth Street, and Walnut robbery. This is all again Thursday,
ten pm Central Parkway theft, twelve am Third Street, Cincinnati arrest,
ten ten am Central Avenue at McFarlane. Got an assault
(04:40):
going on seven pm on Vine Street in CINCINNAI. Robbery
Vine Street happened at one twenty eight am. Assault going
on seven pm Vine Street, and finally an assault four
thirty in the morning Walnut at East fifth one day,
small area of City of Cincinnati too addressed by that
crime anyway, don't know anything about the fifty to sixty
(05:03):
shots fired again, Steve Gooden on that one. What else
is going on? Sincinni officials reviewing allegations from the Fraternal
Order of Police. That's what Ken kober is going to
be talking about, calling for Iris Rawley to be fired.
They circulating an online petition which was started by Ken Cobra.
(05:24):
Petition alleges that Iris Rawley quote has been caught on
bodycam multiple times harassing police officers for just doing their jobs.
As of yesterday morning, already twenty nine hundred signatures their
goal five thousand signatures. You can help out sign the
petition court a petition despite clear misconduct, the city continues
(05:47):
to fund her contract with taxpayer dollars. And it's so far.
I got to interject, insofar as misconduct is concerned, if
you or I interfered with an officer doing his or
her job, don't you think we will be subject to
some sort of citation, maybe get arrested. Can you imagine
the police interacting with Iris Raleigh, who perhaps was worthy
(06:09):
of a citation for her interference with police doing their
duty imagine it's a bit difficult for a police officer
to actually consider issuing her a citation, considering her outspoken advocacy,
her connection with elected officials, including the mayor's office and
the city manager she's employed by them, and her outspoking
(06:30):
advocacy against the police department generally speaking. H Yeah, I'm
sure she'd call for an investigation into you, police officer
for issuing her a citation that she may have been
worthy of getting anyway. On the petition, the Fraternal Order
Police posted a couple of body camera videos showing Raleigh
(06:51):
harassing cops allegedly. They also posted an appearance Raleigh made
on podcasts where she quote, wasted no time berating a
retire I heard Cincinnati police officer and others on the
show close quote that's on the petition website. FOP also
posted the videos on the organization's Facebook page, one post
(07:12):
claiming Raleigh is not a collaborator, instead calling her an agitator.
We entered the realm of subjectivity. Uh thank you, Molly
Shram the CPO for reporting Friday Rally responded to petition
and claims the harassment with statements from her attorney. Actually
(07:33):
one of the body came ravi is she asked the
man who's being asked at the time by a Sinceinn
police officer to pour out his beer if he'd liked
to file a complaint against the officer. Huh, right then
and there while he's the officer is doing his job
or her job anyway, the attorney said. Video circulated by
the FOP members and a recent called to we assign
a petition have targeted Miss Rawleigh for encouraging a community
(07:57):
member to follow follow a formal complain procedures and questioning
an officer's response, which have long been part of her
community centered approach to better policing in this city and
are within her rights to free speech and advocacy outside
her formal service for the city. Oh, she wasn't acting
in her capacity as an advisor to the city when
she was doing this.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Humph huh.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But it is consistent with and does flow from her
position relative to the Cincinnati Police Department in her role
as some sort of consultant for the city. The statement
from her attorney also says that her decades long role
in Cincinnati has, in their words or his or her words,
always involved evaluating police conduct and supporting community voices about
(08:43):
policing in the city. Statement also says the fop's allegations
have led to hate messages and threats to rally her
family and business. We'll join the club. Yeah, that street
runs more than one way. How many conservatives out there
(09:06):
have received hate messages and threats? A lot of them.
Welcome to social media, Welcome to you know, your outspoken
advocacy against the police department having some repercussions among those
of us who do support law enforcement. Apparently been a
consultant with the City Managers Office since twenty twenty two.
(09:31):
Guess she does work helping Cincinnati implement its Collaborative Agreement,
which goes all the way back to the riots in
two thousand and one. If I recall correctly, She was
one of the organizers in bringing about the collaborative agreement.
Also described as a prominent longtime organizer with the Cincinnati
(09:51):
Black United Front. Telling the popular People's You Front Joe
campaign Free Galilee Anyway. Molly shram Over at CBO described
that as a social justice collective. Enjoy your own conclusions.
(10:13):
For her part, since they manager share a long in
responsible way. A request from WCPO for a statement describe
her as an essential community and civic leader in Cincinnati. Essential.
Her contributions spanned from origins of the Collaborative Agreement to
her commitment to problem solving resulting in support for teens
at our transit center. She consistently sets up organized steps
(10:36):
up to organize effective strategies and raises her hand to
support the community when others don't. However, in spite of
her praise for Irish Rowle, a city manager, Long had
this to say, anyone doing work on behalf of the
city of Cincinnati must hold themselves to a higher standard.
That includes not interfering with the police who are in
(10:58):
the act of performing their lawful duties. Can't let that
go unaddressed, Sharyl Long, Canyon right, because it's the one
thing in your statement that really makes sense. Don't mess
around with police during their duties five sixteen fifty five
KRC The Talk Station five one, three, seven, four nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three Talk
(11:18):
found five fifty on at and T Funds. Love to
hear from you. You got something to say, feel free to
call me right back.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Fifty five KRC The talk Station Talkstation. Well maybe he's
not running for counsel. Asking about the idea of it,
Christopher Smith. We'll find out together coming up at seven twenty.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I hope he is. What do you think should Christopher
run for counsel? Maybe he's not decided yet. We had
a pretty definitive confirmation yesterday. We'll see what he has
to say. Apparently called into Dustrekker and said I did
not announce and I was running. So uh, swirling question
marks regarding the candidacy of Christopher Smith. Aman anyway, demonstrably
(12:00):
man and of course a voice of common sense and reason.
I think you've be a welcome edition five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three
talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone. What
else is going on in the Greater CINCINNTI area? Well,
the Hamilton County Associated Association of Chiefs of Police chiming
in on one of the problems we've identified here in
this city, which is the judicial component of the criminal
(12:21):
justice system. If you don't have judges willing to set
appropriate bonds, put people in jail for appropriate periods of
times for heinous crimes, they have committed recidivist criminals coming
in and going through the revolving door of the criminal
justice system. You get the best police department, fully staffed
out in the world. You could have the best prosecutor's office.
You whether we've got one of those, you can draw
(12:44):
your own conclusions. But prosecutors wanting to prosecute criminals to
the fullest extent of the law end up in front
of some liberal, woke judge and that's the end of
the process. So that's an epic failure. As far as
the Hamilton County Association of Chiefs Police, they're calling out
what they describe as gaps in the judicial process. Statement
(13:04):
released last week August eighth, they said it's not good
enough to arrest violent offenders if they're swiftly released back
into our neighborhoods due to lacks bail practices or insufficient
sentencing amen. They announced they will be hosting a roundtable
discussion within the next month with members of the judiciary, prosecutors,
elected officials, and other partners about ways to strengthen public safety.
(13:27):
Good Camera Knight since they inquire reporting, appreciated Cameron pointing
out criticism of the judges not new before. Connie Pilich
elected the Prosecutor's office. Formerly the Prosecutor's Office would post
the cases and judges on Facebook, pointing out well the
sentences and while highlighting judges who set bonds that they
(13:50):
believe were too lower lenient. Joe Dieters and Melissa Powers
both did this, In other words, real time accurate reporting
information so we the public could make informed decisions when
we go into the ballot box in November. They don't
do that anymore. Police data and going back to Steve
(14:14):
Gooden on this post about fifty to sixty shots fired
to pointed out no arrest and not in any police statistics.
So if you have an incident involving fifty to sisity
sixty shots fired and it's not reported on any of
the police statistics, how reliable are the police data? Is
the police data anyway? Caver Knight reporting the police data
shows rates as some crimes are up, others have fallen.
(14:37):
Robberies are up nine percent year to date, three more
homicides year to date, however, aggravated assault down six percent
and shootings are down twenty four percent. H do you
feel safe in downtown Cincinnati? Chief? Fiji Police Chief Dji
recently echoed the remarks of the Chiefs Association saying, part
(14:58):
of the problem is, Yeah, that's the revolving door of justice.
Claim your office too often put themselves at risk to
get criminals off the street, to see them released with
little consequence. How are we going to get the word
out about judges? I mean, you can rely on the
fifty five Caurasy Morning Show to the extent I have
information about who's running and who's not running. I know
(15:20):
how difficult it is if you're not engaged in the
criminal justice system to have any awareness about the leanings
of the judges and whether heart or whether they're tough
on crime or soft on crime. Anyway, Chiefs Association set
the goal of the upcoming roundtable to review the impact
of current bail reform policies promoting consistent sentencing and building
(15:42):
transparency and public confidence in the judicial system. That's a
high mark. Let's be clear, they wrote, we will not
allow the dedication and sacrifice of our law enforcement professionals
to be rendered meaningless by systemic failures or the absence
of shared responsibility. Well, one can only hope they can
(16:03):
bear that their efforts can bear some fruit. If you're
a woke jurist. I'm not sure pressure from law enforcement
really change the hearts in or your heart and mind.
It remains to be seen, but therein lies one of
the biggest challenges we face. Sounds like law enforcements stepping up.
We've got some pronouncements from the mayor and the city
council members in the aftermath of that June or July
(16:25):
twenty sixth beat down. Sounds like they're promising to get
tough on crime, paying lip service to the idea anyway.
They have no control over the judiciary. Honestly, neither does
this group that are putting together, This group of folks
that are the haven't kind of association of chief of
police is putting together the harumph over this subject matter.
(16:47):
The judges aren't willing to heed your advice and your recommendations.
It's all probably an exercise and wheel spinning. Five twenty
five fifty five KR see detalk station, local store where

and a happy one, ticket five one three seven nine,
fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three top found

jump over to the phones. Tom, Welcome back, my friend.
It's always a pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Good warnings.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
You have a good weekend?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Uh, yeah, I actually did.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Yeah, that's good. I don't think i've yeah to hear
you say you had a bad weekend. Weekends are good
just by definition, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yes? They are because I can sleep in and for
no other reason, and maybe I didn't do anything, but
I did get to sleep in, which I dearly love.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
So right, Well, yeah, well sleep sleeping in for you
is uh, it doesn't mean it's it's getting up bet
later or something. So you got pretty early.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Paul that'll get up at like six o'clock in the
morning on Saturday because the dog insists, and she is
kind enough to not involve me in that process. So
I get to STARp, stay in bed and do the
nom nom nom nam thing. I think about getting up,
and usually it's like eight o'clock, maybe eight thirty before
actually crawling a bed on.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
Oh that's sleeping man, you're yeah, that's usually your show's
about over and you're you're just getting up. That's awesome,
It is so good for you.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
I can't.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I can't do that anymore. I can't sleep in that late.
So I'm if I'm still in bed by seven o'clock,
that's a miracle. So I just can't later. So anyway,
this whole thing with the you were just talking about
with the judges and stuff, and and all this hand
ringing by the left of of everything that's wrong with society,
(18:54):
and one of the biggest things they screamed about, and
they happened for a while is racism. And I really
think that what should happen is is that a bunch
of the black community leaders should get together and acknowledge
the fact, the fact Brian Thomas that racism is not
going on near to the extent as they claim it is.
(19:17):
But of course if they do that, then that means
they get rid of all the fuel and all the
alleged wind behind their sales of scream and bloody murder
and how bad everybody is. You know something I found
interesting There was a allegedly there was a video clip
that came out about that July twenty sixth feet down
(19:37):
that you reference, and it was allegedly had somebody yelling
or some people yelling the N word, and I didn't
hear any more about it. I don't know if you
brought this up, but obviously they could not link that
whatever was being said to a white person. Therefore it
just doesn't exist anymore. I guess does it really matter
(19:58):
if I hear anybody anybody else complain about the use
of the end word, anyone from the black community complain
about the use of the end word. I'm so fed
up with that the black community. And of course this
is not every black person, so relax if you're out
every black person feels this way. But enough black people
(20:19):
out there are fine with it, and their music, they're
fine with it when they're talking amongst themselves. But as
soon as someone who's too white uses that word, apparently
it's the end of the world. I don't use the word.
I don't know if I've ever used it. I'm not
going to. I agree it's derogatory, shouldn't be used, and
(20:40):
I don't want to get myself in that kind of trouble.
But come on, the hypocrisy is absolutely ridiculous and all that.
And that's just one example of how the left uses
things to their benefit that that aren't even true. They
lie just to try to get their way and push
things around.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I appreciate it. Tom. Yeah, I hear different reactions in
terms of the use of the ND word, particularly in music.
I mean, it's pervasive in music. If you listen to music,
it's there, it is. And yeah, i've heard commentators. Black
commentators know white people are not allowed to sing along
or use that word in any context whatsoever. In spite
(21:22):
of the fact you can find the use of that
word all over the place, and you know, hip hop
and rap and other you know, musical forms. It's ownership's claim.
The black community owns the word. No one else is
allowed it's exclusive use. I noticed that they've actually, I suppose,
in some way, shape or form, sort of transformed that
word from a derogatory term whites used against black people,
(21:45):
and it's acceptable to use under certain circumstances in the
black community, never acceptable in the white community. Just rather
interesting social reality that one can't comment on the brawl.
Don't know who used the word or even if it
was used. Here is a strange, strange local story here
(22:09):
pedestrian dead after a crash happened on Friday night near Dayton.
Pedestrian was trying to get away from a couple of dogs.
According to the high State Highway Patrol troopers, they said
they were called a nine thirty am for a crash
on Lower Valley Pike near Cloverdale Road, Clark County. Plimentary
investigation shows that Donel Sanning, who's thirty five from New Carlisle,
(22:31):
driving her Chevy Cruise on Lower Valley Pike.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
The pedestrian Jason Kappanera, forty six years old from Yonkers,
New York, walking northeast on the shoulder of the road
when the two dogs from a nearby house ran across
the street, jumping on to the pedestrian trippers say he
then tried to escape toward the road and was hit
(22:56):
along with one of the dogs by the Chevy to
Mercy Health in Nan, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Troopers report of the dogs sustained minor injuries. The Chevy
drivers that stayed at the scene and had no injuries.
They're still investigating the crash. Jeez, dogs chase them out
in the street. That's the end. Say call your mom,
(23:20):
tell your loved ones you love them. Be sure you
do that. You never know, never know when the bell's
gonna toll. Five thirty five fifty five KRC DE Talk station.
Stack o stupid or phone calls. We can go either way.
Be right back.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Five thirty nine on a Monday, Happy one to you
a stack of stupid, but I do a phone call
at least one five one, three, seven, fifty five, eight
hundred and eighty two to three talk from Fix My Road,
Fame Fred, Welcome back to the fifty five carssee morning show,
my friend. Good to hear for you today.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Hey.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Let me start off. I gave you some more praise
my best friend. I went to UC to get his
frost State image and they gave him I think that's
it over nine thousand. So he went to your place.
I told him, he said, she uh. They came right
up until he paid less than a thousand dollars affordable
(24:20):
image phrase on that first. You know, you know, I
hate starting out doing this.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
No, you're listen. You helped a friend save a heaplow
of money. Fred. I mean, I'm happy to spread the
news about it. That's one of the reasons I'm so
proud to be able to sponsor him, because I love
to save that kind of money and I love being
It's like recommending something to a friend. I get to
do it, and I'm it's a paid sponsor, but you know,
it makes me please to do that. And I'm happy
you saved six grand. I'm happy your friends save what
(24:47):
sounds like eight thousand dollars. That's real money, man.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
Man, Okay. In the second thing, you know, and this
is the last time I called about race or anything
like this, but I just want people to know that.
You know, I'm an older black man and I have
older black friends and all different friends. But anyway, we
do think independently. We don't follow our sharpening. We don't
(25:14):
follow the NAACP. We know they're watching the TV looking
for something to happen, to pop out of the shadows.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
We already know.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
This, and we just don't. We just want people to
know and understand. Listen, every time you come saying what
black people should do is upsets us because you you
locked us in a.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Small group of people.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
And I just want people to understand that, Look.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
We think independently.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
It's just a few of us, very few.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
That you see out there, because I'm sure that people
work with a whole lot of other you know, black
or asking every way you want.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
To be called.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
That don't have the same fault as everybody else. And
I just want people to say, look, don't paint with
a broad brush, you know, get a smaller brush, you please,
I don't group us, what's everybody else? And I appreciate
you man, and you have a great date.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Thanks Fred. I appreciate your statement. And I don't know.
I mean, I've tried to be consistent in my attitude
toward painting with a broadbrush, and I don't abide by that.
And I share Fred's observations. I don't believe anyone in
the black communities let's monolithic, all one size fits all lockstep.
But isn't an interesting observation on the heels of Fred's
comment that we're in the middle of this jerry mandering
(26:26):
debate and that they are so convinced, are political officials
they're so convinced by drawing a different line they can
guarantee an outcome on whether it's going to be a
Republican or Democrat victory. I don't say they guarantee that outcome,
but it's a foregone conclusion, which meaning, which means those
elected officials who are busily redrawing maps are taken into
(26:49):
account the historic reality that, in spite of Fred's comments
that there is this sort of lockstep, unanimous well Democrat
vote that comes from within the Black community, they know
by redrawing the lines that they're going to guarantee whether
it's going to be a Republican or Democrat in office.
(27:09):
It's frightening stuff. Would it be a wild thing if,
after they get done redrawing the maps, that the public,
who ultimately votes independent of mind, decides to go a
different direction and deprives whichever political parties redrawing the lines
of their guaranteed victory. Huh, that would be cool, wouldn't it.
(27:30):
It'd be cool if it was either Republican or Democrat
redistricting anyway over the sack and stupid got a man
in Texas accused of approaching young girls in an elementary
school parking lot wearing only a diaper and pacifier around
his neck. Why are you doing that? You may have
an order to give out this morning, Joe. According to
police report, two girls riding bikes and scooters to the
(27:51):
neighborhood when they notice the silver vehicle following them, stopping.
When they stopped on the way home, they notice forty
five year old Wesley Warrels in the vehicle the parking
lot of the Andywoods Elementary School. Cord to the affidavit,
World then got out, wearing only a diaper, shouted quote,
Goo goo gaga, I need a diaper change. Close quote
(28:13):
there's no flag for us. Girls rode away, quickly approaching
their family home, where a man and his son were
working in the garage. Man said the girls rode up
so fast they skinned their knees, claiming a scary man
their words, was chasing them, so I went searching for
the vehicle described while the vehicle they described while a
woman in the home attempted to calm the girls, who
were visibly shaking and truly terrified. According to the rest
(28:37):
report details. Girls then told her the man had asked
the girls, will you change my diaper for me? What? Thus,
Gater's labeled to identify Worl as the suspect and arrested
them in his place of work. Arrested charge with criminal
solicitation of a minor, criminal trespass, in addition to several
other charges and accusations going all the way back to
nineteen ninety nine, back when he was seen watching children

in ninety nine, he reported he was only changing his
diaper here that looney, amen Joe. Fast forward to twenty
two two thousand and two, were el seen looking into
apartment windows. Questioned by police, he admitted to watching small
children in a daycare. Two thousand and five, arrested for

inside his shorts. Draw your own conclusions. When questioned by police,
he was said he was checking to see if he
had soiled his diaper, would.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Get deliberate penalties, so we could get into the penalty
box all by himself.

Prosecuted for November five and six July cases, sentenced to
seven years in prison. Twenty twelve, police received word that
he whorl had exposed himself to a child at a

to showing his diaper, given another criminal trustpass warning for
that one. Arrested in October twenty sixteen for criminal trespass
(30:15):
in July twenty five, caught on surveillance going to Walmart
on several different dates. Walmart's manager expressed a desire to
pursue criminal charges. Wow Goo go Gaga, I need a
diaper change series. The biggest douche of the universe, in

reached the top the Pinnacle of Doue.

FLP President on getting rid of Iris, Rollie seven oh

at seven twenty and Mississippi James on the phone, Mississippi James,
always good to hear from me.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
Welcome back, Good morning, Brian, Come in peace, love everybody,
and there's nothing you can.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Do about it. Like your message, James, what's on your
mind today? My friend?
Speaker 9 (31:27):
You know, well, you know I believe will spiritual beings
going through human experience and looking at racism. To me,
it's not necessarily a hate thing. It was a supreme thing.
You know that one race is more supreme than the
(31:48):
other one.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, and when you look.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
At that, you say, okay, that turns can turn into
hate if one person think they are supreme and the
one that think they are supreme. I've heard him say that.
You know, there was a manifesto from God.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That they be over this of the group sounds like
the Nazis.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Hey whoever, it is a human experience as we go
through it now right now here local and we realized
this been Oh that was terrible what happened down at
the fight, the lady getting hit, the guys getting jumped on,
but we're not looking at who started it. You know,
(32:31):
you've had six black people's arrested for joining in on
the fight. But then the one that started to fight,
and I'm here before the slap came that they're that
same guy tried to kick another male. Somebody got in
between them, tried to de escalate it, say go on,
(32:52):
leave it alone, all right, Well this same guy went
and slapped found another black guy to slap. So that's
two incident that I'm hearing that this guy had calls,
but yet he still haven't been arrested for assault whatever
the reason question says lawyer say, you can't even talk
(33:12):
to him, and I'm like, okay, we're going to the lawyer.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
You get the position to stop.
Speaker 9 (33:17):
The police from issuing an assault arrest.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Well, we could assert as fifth moment right to be
free of self incrimination, I suppose with an interview if
he's gout who's lawyered up. It doesn't mean he's not
going to get charged, but I mean your predicate in
your initial statement is I'm hearing I'm here, and I
am hearing similar things, but I'm also hearing things that
run counter to what you're hearing, which results in me
(33:42):
concluding that I don't have all the fact yet. In
spite of this, it's been since the twenty sixth, the
last month, so more video camera comes out. We've got
grand jury indictments being handed down. Obviously they found probable
cause to charge some with the crimes. Let's see if
anybody else gets gets arrested or accused of criminal conduct.
I'm waiting. I got my popcorn out, James. I haven't
(34:04):
put it away, and I haven't drawn any conclusions yet,
but nothing can justify criminal behavior along the lines of
what we see, regardless of who gets blamed for starting
the incident or kicking off the incident. Back go to
stacker stupid. This is a pretty comical one in spite
of the fact that we resulted in two people dad,
(34:24):
a man and a woman are in fact dad after
a car they were believed to be having sex in
fell off a cliff. Pair identified as twenty six year
old Marconi da Silva Cardozo and forty two year old
Adriana Mocado Raberio. We're in Vandanova do Immigrante. This is
(34:46):
in Brazil. Happened on Monday last when they were parked
near a scenic overlook. According to the article, apparent movement
from an intimate moment in their vehicles caused it to
drop hundreds of feet. Cardos and Roberio headed towards the
area where the ground was wet after leaving a party
(35:07):
freezing in the car fell down a hang gliding ramp
vehicle located late in the morning by local caretaker. Man
and a woman found naked in the vehicle. Courting Lydia
The Sun reported the police that leave the vehicle fell
around one o'clock in the morning local time. The man
and the woman were thrown roughly three hundred and twenty
eight feet. Bodies found the base of a rock. You're right, Joe,
(35:31):
roughly three hundred and twenty eight does sound very specific.
Pairs bodies found on the base of a rock. Vehicle
parts scattered all around the nearby vegucatation corner of the
press release, there were no signs of violence at the
scene on the bodies and the car's handbrake was engaged.
(35:52):
They said. Residents reported hearing a loud noise between one
thirty in the morning and two am. Because it was
dark and the vegetation thick, no one saw anything at
the time. It remains under investigation. The case does waiting
for forensic reports. Photographs show the vehicle destroyed after a
plunge several hundred feet off the cliff. One woman witness
I saw the car's engine very far away and the
(36:14):
car fell almost four hundred and fifty feet from the
accident was a shocking scene. The car was destroyed.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
The aerograph.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, I guess mind where you park? Five fifty six

Speaker 11 (36:39):
Today's top stories at the top of the hour. It's
information that matters to me. Fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
It's here at fifty five KR SEV talk station. Brian

the fifty five KRSE Morning Show, Fast forward one hour.
Ken Cober FLP president, got a petition to get rid
of Iris Rawley. Yeah, outspoken anti police activist Iris RAWLEI
(37:13):
coming under some serious criticism and justified interfering with police
officers trying to perform their duties, which I think is
a citable offense. Going to ask that from FLP president
directly out of the gate, like, how come she was
an issue to citation if she's interfering with police officers.
Legitimate question. So Ken on that topic coming up in
an hour, followed by Christopher's Nope, maybe just asking out
(37:36):
loud if it's a good idea. I think it's a
great idea. When he's got a record he can run
on former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, obviously
here on the morning show, regularly, all over media, regularly
with his thoughts and comments, expressing logic and reason and
coming up with solutions for some of the Cincinnati's problems.
So vote Smithman is what I say. Well here from
(37:57):
Christopher at seven twenty let me at corner them on
the day. So different little birds passing along different information.
I just know I was left out of the loop. Monday, Monday,
Brian James, eighth five, we'll talk tariffs and inflation. We'll
talk about whether or not you want crypto in your
four to oh one k and finally, some interesting new
(38:19):
benefits companies are offering that with Brian James. Fast forward
to eight thirty Emory Federal Credit Union golf founding. We'll
hear from Todd Kine from Emory on that great organization,
a great event helping out sint Children's Hospital Charitable Care
Fund Care see Cares we do. Cincinnti VA love helping
(38:39):
out the American veteran sincinnti VA joins us to give
us a recap of the VA Country Music Fest and
the upcoming August twenty third Veteran Appreciation Day. Again, feel
free to call here's an interesting solution and tell me
if you think this is a good idea. Obviously, the
City of Cincinnati decided it's going to start enforcing the
(39:00):
few one of the things that comes out of the
August or the July twenty sixth beatdown that happened in
downtown Cincinnati, and many of my listeners recognize and I
acknowledge the juveniles were not a problem. They the juveniles
were not involved at least don't appear to be involved
in the beatdown. But they did nonetheless change the curfew
and said that the same police will now be enforcing
(39:21):
it to some degree. Well, that's solve the problem. How
about this? Is this a good idea? Uh? We get
a Gloucester township in New Jersey, They just recently enacted
an ordinance holding parents accountable for lawbreaking children. Parents now
facing fines up to two thousand dollars in the possibility
(39:43):
of a ninety day term behind bars if their children
are continually misbehaving.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Accord to the article from New Jersey dot Com, the
ordinance includes twenty eight offenses that could make caretakers liable.
They range from felonies, loitering, break curfew, chronic truancy to immorality,
habitual vagrancy, and knowingly associating with immoral people. Okay, I
got a beg question marks swirling about what constitutes an
(40:12):
immoral person under the law anyway. The report said teenagers
and juveniles in the area have been committing variety of
these offenses. The town's twenty twenty four Gloucester Township Day
upended when over five hundred miners were involved in a
brawl spilling over to a shopping plaza. Police arrested nineteenagers,
among eleven others taken into custody. Three officers were hurt
(40:32):
in that melee. Video footy shows a group of young
people throwing objects at the front of businesses. Officials postponed
the event this year because of social media posts indicating
that that was going to happen again this year, So
the police announced this new ordinance in a social media post.
If a child is reportedly found guilty in juvenile court,
(40:54):
their caretaker could face up the ninety days in prison
and or fine of up to two thousand dollars. Ordinance
takes effects immediately. One person quota, these are your children.
Had you governed them a certain way, this ordinance wouldn't
be necessary. As a parent, I think it's absolutely necessary. Yeah,
(41:16):
So is that a solution to the problem holding parents accountable?
Speaker 12 (41:19):
You know?
Speaker 3 (41:20):
And I think about that you want to hold your
parents criminally accountable for what their children are doing. Maybe
a difficult leap. But if these are minor children who
are out after hours of violating the law on the books,
which is the curfew law, wouldn't you think? I mean,
if involved an infant child or abuse along those lines,
the Department of Child and Family Services to be called in.
(41:41):
Is it too late when the child's a teenager to
call in that group to find out what's going on
at home? Maybe lack of a sufficient parenting I don't know,
but it certainly would make parents who otherwise don't care
about where their children are at night maybe start thinking
about it. I don't want a two thousand dollars fine
(42:02):
and I don't want to go to jail for up
to ninety days. Yeah. Well, actions have consequences, or in
action at least in New Jersey are going to have consequences.
Gloucester Township specifically five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three dog pound five
fifty on AT and T phones and also another thing
(42:23):
you might want to chime in on, Donald Trump considering
reclassifying marijuana under the Federal Drug scheduling hmmm, described as
maybe reclassified as a less dangerous drug speaking with attendees
at his one million dollar played fundraiser in New Jersey,
many of whom were in the weed industry. H Apparently
(42:52):
the cannabis companies have pumped in millions of dollars into
Donald Trump's political groups and political action committees of quart
of it. Maybe that's the reason behind this potential moved
to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule one controlled substances.
Making it a Schedule three drug will make it a
lot easier to buy and sell cannabis. Also been several
(43:13):
bills introduced by in Congress by Democrats and Republicans bipartisanship
to either lower the classification of weed to a Schedule
three drug or remove it completely from the list of
controlled substances. They've also sought to decriminalize marijuana. Forty states
so far have legalized marijuana. Twenty four states plus Washington,
d C. Have also legalized recreational marijuana, as we have
(43:33):
done here in the state of Ohio. Now, more and
more information research is coming out with the decriminalizing it
in states, and we're finding out that marijuana may not
be as innocuous a drug as they've painted it out
to be. So you hit all the propaganda coming out
about medical marijuana, medical medical medical medical marijuana. Well, we'll
just legalize it for medical use. You'll need a prescription
(43:55):
for that. It's great for certain medical conditions, anxiety or
depression or whatever, and so you legitimize it by rolling
it out as a medical product, and then of course
segue over to full legalization. Again. That worked quite well
here in the state of Ohio. But more and more
people smoking weed, the more and more we find out
yew could be very dangerous, most notably to young, developing minds.
(44:18):
This is why parents need to keep an eye on
their children and what they're getting involved with. They've learned
a lot about this with alcohol use over the years. Yes,
in a developing mind, alcohol is very dangerous, so pivot
over to marijuana. Apparently the same thing. Psychosis can develop,
among other problems. So I don't know whether decriminalizing on
(44:39):
a federal level is an effort worth pursuing or what
the end result is going to be. I think the
genies out of the bottle, as noted by the number
of states who provided some form of legalization, complete decriminalization.
So if the genies out of the bottle, maybe get
rid of the Schedule one classification and in so doing,
the one nice benefit that you and I can enjoy
from that is more research will be done. The fact
(45:01):
that it's labeled to Schedule one drug, which makes it
on the same order or degree as heroin. Yeah, that
limits the amount of research you'll be done because researchers
can't get acquire this readily available product to do studies
on it. So more studies are definitely needed along those lines.
And maybe I'll welcome the change in schedules, if for
no other reason but that one right there, Feel free

talk to to the one's got a couple of calors online.
We'll start with Brian. Brian, welcome to the show. Thanks
for calling me this morning.
Speaker 12 (47:04):
Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Monday.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Right back at you, brother.
Speaker 12 (47:09):
Yeah yeah. Places like New Jersey Democrats strongholds, they make
laws like this and it just makes me chuckle. So,
so my child decides to transition, get an abortion, go
on birth control, or you're gonna teach them something I
don't like. You're not telling me a thing, But when
my child acts up, you want to hold me accountable.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
Well, I suppose you might be to link those concepts.
Speaker 12 (47:36):
Well, if you're not gonna tell me my child the
school's gonna hide from me, to my child's gonna wants
to transition, well, and you're supporting that, but you're not
gonna tell me you're hiding it from me. But then
if my child does something wrong and you want me
to be held accountable, I mean, you can't have it
both ways, it's either I'm involved in my child's.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Life or I'm not well. One is a crime and
the other one arguably isn't. Although I guess there's a
debate on whether transitioning could be considered criminal, but you know,
I guess the left use that as a lifestyle choice.
There's nothing, no law in the books that prevents that
transitioning from happening. But there are criminal laws on the books,
and children are regularly breaking the criminal laws. And if
(48:19):
you're made aware that your child is a recidivous lawbreaker
and you do nothing to stop it from happening, you
do nothing to keep them in the house after curfew
rolls around, and maybe there is some possible accountability there
for violating criminal law. I understand your frustration on along
those lines, and the allowing of children to make these
life changing decisions without any parental involvement as disturbing as hell.
(48:42):
But honestly, if a parent does not care if the
child's out at three o'clock in the morning on a weeknight,
then I doubt they probably care a wit whether their
child is transitioning to a different gender. Possible, let us
see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, Happy Monday till you.
Thanks for calling.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
Good morning, my brother Monday to you, I said, it
was another ratty tat weekend we had in Cincinnati. Fifty
some shots fired.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah, Steve Gooden posting that you wouldn't know it from
local media reporting because apparently no reporting on that. Fifty
shots fired along Clark Street by the football field, hitting
park cars in at least one house. So he said,
automatic gunfire.
Speaker 4 (49:23):
Well, when you hold thirty round bags in those sem
sixty two but thirty nine hand held pistols they got,
they can fire off a lot of them pretty quick.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah. Can't you empty a thirty round bag in a
matter of just a couple of seconds?
Speaker 4 (49:34):
Bobby, That doesn't take very long, my friend, as quick
as you can pull the trigger.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Not. Is that not very accurate though? Spray and pray.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
No, that's all it is. I'll tell you what. Until
they correct the problem, the problem's not gonna get corrected.
The problem making it at the top. The problem being
correct the violence in Cincinnati. It's in the top five
most violent cities per capit.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
Okay, but how do we fix the problem of violence?
I mean, you know, I understand taking steps toward holding
people accountable, like, for example, the New York New Jersey
law which is in an effect here, but enforcing curfew,
for example, gets kids off of the streets where they're
up to no good fine, but the motive behind the
criminal behavior this lawless attitude. People have, this disregard for
(50:23):
the law generally speaking. That's a problem that's so broad
and has so many layers and elements behind it. How
do you fix that?
Speaker 4 (50:32):
You have to run it like an insurgency. You cannot
be nice. You have to run it like you would
a military operation. You got to find out who the
people are, where they're at, where they're going. It's easy
to do, but the city's not going to do it
because they're part of the problem. Well, going back, going
to advertise their problem, Well you say, I guarantee you
(50:52):
I got people correct the problem real quick without anything negative,
all positive investigating. But you gotta know who these people are.
Speaker 3 (51:02):
And if you.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
Eliminate a promise one you don't have get them out
of your community. Right. They don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
You say, identify who these people are, or around up
who these people are, and you say that, they claim
they know if someone has an outstanding arrest warrant and
a police officer knows where that person is, yes, they
should be out arresting that person. But if a person
does not have an a restaurant. I made this point
the other day. You give a rap sheet a mile
long if you have served your time or otherwise complied
(51:28):
with whatever a judicial rendering is or disposition is. In
that case, you're in front of a judge. The judge said,
you're on probation. You're on probation, you keep your nose clean,
you're no longer on probation. That is on your quote
unquote rap sheet. That doesn't give police the authority to
pick you up for just being having a rap sheet
that's long. Quite often you have recidivous criminals who end
(51:49):
up in front of a judge on multiple occasions. You're
sitting there going, well, how in the hell is this
person not in jail. Well, it's because due process hasn't
been worked through the system. They haven't had their day
in trial, they haven't had their witnesses show up or
be in front of a jury or a judge the
try or fact to render a conclusion. They're not guilty
at that moment in time. It's very complicated matter with it.
Speaker 4 (52:10):
I agree with you, but you need to know who
they are and where they're at and everything else. And
it's easy to do. But the city can't do that.
They're legally not allowed to do it.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
Right.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
You pop a spider in a six block area and
I'll tell you every human being it has a cell
phone in that area, and you can track them every
seven and a half fifteen minutes, know where they go,
where they're at, and where they've been. Well, it's all legal.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
How would you feel if you were one of the
people being tracked? You say, Bobby would be like, wait
a second, I don't have a criminal record. Why am
I under surveillance? Well, we've been tracking you because oh
I don't know the comments you meant in the fifty
five krs in morning show or something. I mean, what
gives them the right to see a quote unquote track
or otherwise round someone up? What is the legal predicate
(52:55):
for that? That's what I want to know the city.
Speaker 4 (52:59):
The city doesn't have the right to do that. But
independent people do you pop a spider. I don't know
your name, I don't know your phone number. You've got
a customer number, and I know exactly where you go,
how long you've been there. Anytime I want to set
it up on a computer, I know exactly where that
phone's at, and that way I know where you're at. Well,
(53:21):
you have a name on it or a phone number,
but I do have a tracking number.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
I'm at a loss to know how that what good
that's going to possibly do?
Speaker 4 (53:32):
In seventy two hours, I can tell you who the
criminals are, where they're at, and where they're.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
Going the criminals suggesting that a crime has been perpetrated
by one of these unnamed, unknown individuals that you're tracking
generally throughout the day every day. Sorry, Bobby, You're I
just I can't make heads or tails out of what
you're really proposing here. Sorry, man, If you know.
Speaker 4 (53:54):
Where, if you know where the people are, you know
exactly what they're going to do. What people the people criminals?
Speaker 3 (54:01):
The criminals, Well, again, that suggests that they are they
have committed a crime, or that a warrant is out,
or that you know that that particular person there's probable
cause to believe they should be picked up for creative
for committing a crime. And if that exists, then the
police should do it. But in the absence of underlying
criminal activity or allegations of it, they can be justified
(54:22):
for the warrant i e. Probable cause. Then you've got
no right or ability to pick them up, regardless of
what's in their background. Six twenty seven fifty five k
CD Talk Station, Matt, you're next going to mind holding

can save a lot of money with Foreign Exchange, and
they're real creative about recarr repairs. If you're like stuck

Trump has the power to declassify stuff, did he go
to Donald Trump and said, hey, we have information that
(56:23):
will exonerate you.
Speaker 7 (56:25):
Yes, but it's classified. You have to declassify it.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
It's been declassified. That's how he was able to talk
about it. He wasn't previously able to talk about it,
but now that it has been declassified, it's out there
for all to read. Twenty eighteen, I believe was the
year that was released.
Speaker 13 (56:39):
So yeah, did he go to Trump and then Trump
could have declassified it right then and then and then
got all this out in the open.
Speaker 3 (56:48):
Well it has been and it is all this information
is widely reported. I mean for media outlets that actually
reporting on it. Yeah, it looks terrible in terms of
those that engage in this this collusion again Trump and
his administration. So yeah, I mean it's out there for
all to read. It's pretty damning information too, and it's
been referred to a grand jury for potential indictment, so
(57:10):
keep your popcorn out on that. But yeah, it's out
there again, That's how he was able to talk about it.
This is a truly bizarre local story Clark County up
by Dayton. One pedestrian dead. It had crashed your cart
on Friday night. The guy was trying to run away
from some dogs that were going After recording of the
high State Highway Patrol, they were called nine pm nine
(57:31):
thirty pm for a crash on a Lower Valley Pike
and plumbing. An investigation shows dun El Sanning, who's thirty
five from New Carlisle, driving around her twenty fourteen Chevy
Cruise on Lower Valley Pike. Jason Coperna, who was a
pedestrian forty six, he was from Yonkers, New York, was
walking northeast on the shoulder of the same road when
(57:51):
the two dogs from a nearby house ran across the
street and jumped onto the pedestrian. He tried to escape
by running toward the road and was hit by the
Chevy Cruise, taking a mercy Health and Anna and he's
come to his injury, so he's no longer with us.
The dogs sustained minor injuries. The Chevy driver was not injured,
(58:13):
but did stay at the scene of the crash, which
is still being investigated. Freak accident let us see here.
Driver accused of shooting multiple times in another vehicle Monday
night in Claremont County intersection now facing more charges, including
attempted murder. This according to the Climont County Grand Jury.
This was last Monday. Miles Phillip Pop, thirty five, indicted
this past Thursday, in addition to attempted murder and Flonius
(58:36):
assault charges, now facing a discharge of a firearm charge.
Jail record show he's still held in the Clarmont County
Joe on a five hundred thousand dollars cast shirty bond.
That's Claremont County Joe for the Flonias assault charge, plus
a quarter of a million cast last personal recognizance bonds
for the attempted murder charge. About seven forty pm Monday,
(58:58):
deputies called the East Plain Street and Startling Road report
of a person with a weapon. Deputies respond to the
area immediately. Victim, according to Clemont County Sheriff's Office, said
they tried to pass Pop's vehicle to create a distance
when he heard three pops and felt something hit him
in the neck and face area. Office sheriff said. The
(59:18):
victim realized the impact they felt was from shattered glass
from the rear view mirror hit by an unknown object.
The victim not injured, thankfully. Police later apprehend and Pop
on Locust Road he admitted to firing one gun shot
from his vehicle. Search Pop's vehicle also led to a
loaded gun being found in the glovebox Man five point

thirty six fifty five KRC the talk station Affordable Medical
Imaging heard earlier Fred Fred saved six grand by going
to affordable medical imaging, and he referred his buddy, who
was going to be facing what was it an eight
thousand dollars image charge or something like that. He ended
up getting it done for a grand. I may have
the numbers wrong on it. I think the guy I
ended up saving like eight grand. That's Fred looking out
(01:00:02):
for his friend. Here's me looking out for you. You
got a choice when it comes to imaging, like all
medical services, So don't go to the hospital imaging department.
Be like Fred, Be like Jef, be like me. Go
to affordable imaging services and save thousands and thousands of dollars. So,
whether it's an echo cardiogram, mri, CT scanner, ultrasound or
X ray, go to one of the two affordable imaging
(01:00:22):
locations and get it done for a mere fraction. Every
image comes with a board certified radiologist report in the price,
so rather than thirty five hundred dollars for the echo cardiogram.
How about five hundred without an enhancement or eight hundred
with an enhancement of affordable imaging services. Thousands of dollars
can be saved. So do the right thing, save money.

welcome back to the morning show, my friend. Happy Monday

Speaker 14 (01:01:30):
Hey, good morning Brian.
Speaker 9 (01:01:31):
Hey.
Speaker 14 (01:01:32):
I want to say if I could put a finer
point on the previous callers question about brad Winstrip as
I understand it, and I'm gonna put chronological order here.
Twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party brought out
the Russian pokes against Donald Trump. An investigation. Trump gets elected,
an investigation has launched. They find out that this is
(01:01:55):
just garbage and it was an attempt to overturn a
free and fair election.
Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Yeah, to distract from Hillary Clinton's email server problem, I
believe was the genesis of this Russian collusion hoax.
Speaker 14 (01:02:08):
Sure, then in twenty twenty, Joe Biden gets more votes
than any other president in history, which makes a half
the country scratch their head and say something's up.
Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
This can't be right.
Speaker 14 (01:02:23):
It gets buried. Win Strip's report gets buried for four years,
and he doesn't come forward because it's classified that we
may have had two.
Speaker 8 (01:02:36):
Elections in a row.
Speaker 14 (01:02:38):
One for sure, one is under a strict or very
very suspicious circumstances. Joe Biden get getting elected. They the
whole country gets inflicted with the Biden administration for four years.
During Trump's first term, the Russia hoax costs the taxpayers
(01:03:00):
millions and millions of dollars got in the way of
Trump's agenda. As he has to keep being distracted and
the whole country is distracted. Oh yeah, and I think
the previous caller my question is and Winstrip sat on
his hands because it was classified and you couldn't come
forward as a whistleblower. If treason is happening in the country.
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it.
I can't speak for the congressman's actions or you know,
the timing of the matter. I just know that it
has been declassified, which allows me to talk about it now.
That's why it's been so widely reported. All the pieces
of the puzzle were finally put together. That coupled with
the most recent you know, document releases from the Department
of Justice, so they all add up to one big
(01:03:41):
damning you know, development of information, Jay, I you know,
in terms of classification, how things are declassified, and what
people's efforts were behind the scenes, if they were trying
to get it declassified at any given time. Those are
details I simply do not have, Jay, Honestly, I really don't.
Speaker 9 (01:03:57):
No, I know you don't.
Speaker 14 (01:03:57):
I didn't expect you to. But I think the deaths
the question that we have out here is what's it
going to take for a Republican congressman to have this information. Yes,
I understand how serious classified information is. But if you're
a patriot, for crying out loud and there's treason going on,
stand up, be heard. If this was the Democrat party,
they would have leaked it quietly to the press well
(01:04:19):
and got all the documents out there, versus sitting on
your hands and watch the country get destroyed with open
borders and every vent and all and everything else during
the Biden administration. For crying out loud, stand up well,
and you know your whistleblow up protection.
Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
This is one of those things that Republicans have convinced them,
have argued Democrats are doing all the time. It's leaked
to the press, and that leaking confidential information to the press,
of course, can subject to to criminal charges. So you know,
if you want to go down that road and risk
criminal prosecution and the name of patriotism, fine, that's fine.
Speaker 12 (01:04:52):
Yes, I would say so.
Speaker 14 (01:04:53):
I would say that's my expectation of a Republican congressman
if you know treason's going on and classified document the
classification of classified is keeping your mouth shut while the
country goes down the tubes. Shame on, Brad Weistrip, stand.
Speaker 12 (01:05:09):
Up, be a patriot, all right.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):

City of Cincinnati as some sort of advisor.
Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
She's out getting in front of police officers, interfering with
them performing their duties, which sounds like something that's sitable.
I'm going to find out from Kenneth that is a
sitable offense. Christopher Smith Aman at seven twenty. In the meantime,
jump over to the phones. Let's see what Jim's got
this morning. Jim, thanks for calling. Happy Monday, Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 7 (01:06:51):
I have to agree with the previous caller, I got
Winsterm's a nice guy, but he's got no spine. If
you watch what he did. We got rid of d
Schmidt and brought Brad in there. And he would not
take any stand against the party if he looked at
his building record, Oh yes, great conservative record, until you
(01:07:11):
look at the really important votes. And he wouldn't stand
up to the party. Do you think he's going to
stand up for anything else. He's not a Tom Manson
that stands up on principle. It's just, you know, I'm
glad he's gone to my rep I'm not sure about day.
But he had no courage to stand up against anything
that the party didn't say.
Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
He couldn't do fair enough, So he wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
He wouldn't commit treason because or stand up lay anybody
out for treason because he didn't have the spine to
do it.
Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
Well, you know, yeah, I don't have the problems. I
don't have a problem people criticizing him. You can draw
your own conclusions about who the politicians are and how
they vote on what they do. He isn't the only
person that was aware of that that document confirming that
the Democrats in fact created the Russian collusion. Hoaks had
a whole cloth that was confidential, and he obviously couldn't
(01:08:02):
talk about it inspite it because he has security clearance
and had access to it. He made his decision. You
can criticize him for it that say, Okay, I wish
kind of wish he was here to defend himself and
maybe make an argument to that effect. But right, I mean,
that's what elections are all about. I mean, you're going
to throw question, You're going to throw out the good
for the sake of the perfect, and people quite often
(01:08:23):
asked that question out loud when it comes to political choices. Anyhow,
five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight
hundred and eighty two to three dog found five fifty
on AT and T phones. Yeah, I'll just go ahead
and kind of intro this because we're going to get
to FLP President Ken Kober. They are calling the FOP
is for Iris Raleigh to be fired. And this what
(01:08:44):
this this online petition is being circulated for LEEDG is
that Raleigh has been caught on bodycam multiple times harassing
police officers from doing their jobs. At least as yesterday morning,
twenty nine hundred signatures their goal five thousand court of
the petition. Despite clear misconduct, the city continues to fund
(01:09:05):
her contract with taxpayer dollars. They posted the body camera
videos showing Raleigh alleged in what they determined its harassing cops.
Also posted an appearance she made on a podcast where
she quote wasted no time berating a retired Cincinni police
officer and the others on the show Close quote. FOP
(01:09:28):
also posted all three of the videos in the organization's
Facebook page, and one post claims Raleigh is not a
collaborator but an agitator. So we showed one of the
videos Raleigh asking a man who is being then interviewed
by Cincinnati police officers, then telling him to pour out
his spear if he wanted to file a complaint against
(01:09:49):
the police officer. Right in the middle of that going on,
Cheryl on city Manager defending her Her contribution span from
the origins of the collaborative agreement to her commitment to
problem solving resulting in support for teens in our transit center.
(01:10:10):
She consistently steps up to organize effective strategies and to
raise her hand to support the community when others don't,
but long did pivot over to the thing that the
police officers are dressing in their online petition saying anyone
doing work on behalf of the city of Cincinnati must
hold themselves to a higher standard that includes not interfering
(01:10:31):
with police who are in the act of performing their
lawful duties. Thank you, Cheryl Long for addressing the core
of the problem here. She's part of the purvol administration,
but she's out interfering with police officers in the act
of performing their lawful duties. Not a good look for
(01:10:52):
a city of Cincinnati that's under the microscope for its
law enforcement. Some argue failures. Others argue it's perhaps an
administration's problem because of it's a poor allocation of police resources,
failure to acknowledge the problem we have in the city
of Cincinnati, which is one of crime doing the five
(01:11:14):
d's of dodgeball. When addressing the question after the July
twenty sixth beat down six fifty five, can Kober on
that after the top of the UR News followed by
Christopher Smithman, is he running for counsel or not? Sort
of a side issue for Christopher this morning. I don't
know that the end, so we'll let Christopher answer that question.
(01:11:34):
Himself coming up at seven twenty. I hope you can
stick around.

so anyway. Christopher SimMan coming over the next segment in
the meantime, Happy to welcome back for the fifty five
Casey Morning Show. Fop fternal older Pee Chapter sixty nine,
which represents the Cincinnati Police Department heading it up. Ken Coberg, Ken,
good to have you back on the fifty five Casey
Morning Show. Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having all right. Now,
(01:12:33):
if I was out in the middle of the street
and I saw an officer I don't know, interacting with
someone in terms of making a stop, doing their job
and their official capacity as an on duty police officer,
and I got in the middle of it and interfered
with the police officer doing his job, would I be
subject to a citation?
Speaker 16 (01:12:50):
Ken Cober, Yeah, I mean you'd be subject to a
citation or subject to arrest for that matter.
Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
Okay, I guess first question. You have it on video,
and you circulated a petition to well have Iris Rawley
described as a consultant to the City of Cincinnati in
a paid capacity, get her fired from her job, and
you show a couple of illustrations she's been caught on bodycam,
which you did post with the you petition for assing
police officers in the middle of doing their job. Can
(01:13:17):
I ask why that she wasn't cited.
Speaker 16 (01:13:21):
Well, you know, officers had discretion, and in that situation,
it was clear the officer knew exactly who Iris was
and thought that it would be better to attempt to
de escalate the situation than it would be to try
to arrest her, knowing that it was a likelihood that
it was going to get worse. So they made what
I thought was a good decision just to try to
(01:13:44):
let it go under the circumstances. But as I've explained
to the city manager, those circumstances are running out, and
she should expect the next policeman she comes across and
tries to do something like that, she will be arrested.
Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
Yeah, she's on notice now, clearly, most notably because you
circulated a petition trying to get her fired. Now, she's
been around since the days of the riots and the
Collaborative Agreement, and a lot of people, including the city
manager in responsive petition, you know, gave her props. Is
a consequence of her activism. But she has been an
out loud voice against the police department and seems to
(01:14:19):
embrace this defund the police kind of strategy. And she's
certainly an agitator when it comes to well filing complaints
against police officers who are doing their job. Now, I
guess I understand why you're trying to ask for her
to be fired. Do you have any idea what role
she plays now since the Collaborative Agreement has been around
for now for what like almost two decades.
Speaker 16 (01:14:41):
Consultant of the city manager, and that came straight from
the city manager that she consults her.
Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
And you know, and that's fine.
Speaker 16 (01:14:48):
Is all the work that she's done with the collaborative Agreement,
whether you like it you don't like it, the work
that she's done can't go un notice.
Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
However, she's crossed the line.
Speaker 16 (01:14:57):
You cross the line when you decide that you're going
to obstruct official business. When the police are out there
trying to do what they're paid to do, and it's
something that's just not going to be tolerated.
Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
I certainly understand that it sounds like the city manager's
on your site on that, after supporting Iris Rowley and
everything that she's done on behalf of the city. City
manager along said anyone doing work on behalf of the
city of Cincinnati Iris Rowley must hold themselves to a
higher standard that includes not interfering with police or in
the act of performing their lawful duties. So even the
city manager is on your side on this, Kenkober.
Speaker 16 (01:15:31):
Well, yeah, but we'll see if there's going to be
any consequence for her actions. That's going to be where
the proof is in the putting. Is she gonna actually
do something about it, And that's yet to be seen.
Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
It is yet to be seen now so far. How
many signatures do you have on your petition? I looked
at it's just over thirty four hundred.
Speaker 16 (01:15:47):
I can tell you I was working the Sccincinnati match
last night and there are some folks that were talking
about it said that they fully support the police that
they've signed it. I've talked to some officers that are
reluctant to sign it because they believe that somehow the
city is going to get this information and that they
will try to retaliate against them if they do sign it.
Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
Now, I just won't have to be a resident of
the city of Cincinnati to sign the petition.
Speaker 9 (01:16:11):
No, And you know this, this.
Speaker 16 (01:16:12):
Petition is really twofold. It's one it's sending a message
to the city saying that we're not going to tolerate
some consultant from the city that's going to create, you.
Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
Know, uh, have a criminal act, commit a criminal.
Speaker 16 (01:16:24):
Act that's going to harass the police. But also it's
a message because the police are seeing it, and the
police are seeing the support they have. So I encourage
all those that are the silent minority or the silent
majority that are always supporting the police that don't necessarily
want to come out and say it, sign the petition
because these officers are taking notice of how many signatures
are you know, being signed.
Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
Well, I guess considering she's in this consulting capacity, of
course she's an outspoken community activist. Everything in the city
seems to know who iris. Rawly is the fact that
she's going out there and actually interfering with officers doing
their job. Isn't that encouraging others residents of the city
to do the same dang thing, Since if Iris can
do it, shouldn't I be doing it also.
Speaker 16 (01:17:07):
Without a doubt? I mean, they don't understand, you know,
the impact that this is having. I mean, officers are
absolutely furious about this. You know, I was at a
role call this morning. Not one officer had anything bad
to say about this petition. They encourage it. They actually
want me to go even further and take other steps,
and that's we'll see how this all plays out. But
(01:17:29):
they're furious to see that you have somebody that is
supposedly a city leader that is harassing the police when
they're simply trying to do their job.
Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Now, what do you hope ultimately comes to this? Obviously,
if the petition, you know, it serves its purpose, she's
going to get fired. I really am hesitant to believe
that Share along or anybody in the Cincinnati and the
current government, is going to fire her for doing this.
So this really does serve the purpose of putting Iris
specifically on notice that maybe next time around, she will
(01:18:00):
get sided, and also sends a warning to the rest
of the Greater Cincinnati residents. Don't do this, because you'll
see what's going to happen next time we encounter Iris
involving this. I mean, this just brings it to everybody's
attention as something not to do.
Speaker 9 (01:18:13):
Right.
Speaker 16 (01:18:14):
Absolutely, I had this conversation with the city manager on Friday,
and I told her, listen, she should thank her lucky
stars that she came across an extremely patient police officer
who is willing to deal with that nonsense, because there's
a lot of police officers out there that wouldn't have
been willing to deal with it, that would have just
arrested her, which is what ultimately could have happened. Like
(01:18:36):
I said, I respect the officer that was involved. I
think she's a fantastic person. Under the circumstances, I believe
she made the right decision. But Iris is going to
be so lucky next time, and that's going to be
on the city manager to have to deal with. You know,
if they continue to do business with her, they continue
to give her taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Because I believe Iris.
Speaker 16 (01:18:56):
Is not going to stop doing this, it would be
smart if she does. That's what we want is for
her just to stop this behavior. But if it continues,
believe me, there is a high likelihood that she will
be arrested.
Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
Well, and I agree with your conclusion about the officer
involved in not issuing the citation, But doesn't that highlight
the very problem that Iris Ralli has created because she
is such a loud activist and will look into and
with hindsight twenty twenty, look at every single, every single
moment in time of any officer and maybe perp interaction
(01:19:32):
that they're going to be under the microscope, which has
caused law enforcement officers to really question engaging people on
the street for fear of being called out by Iris
Rawli and others of her ILK. Now, doesn't this confirm
that that strategy actually work because Iris avoided getting a
ticket because it was well known to the police that
she was this loud activist. Yeah, I mean, I think
(01:19:54):
you could certainly draw that conclusion.
Speaker 16 (01:19:56):
But I'll just say this, there are plenty of policemen
that I've talked to this said at that was me
in that situation, I would have arrested her. You know,
no one, no one in this police department is against accountability.
You know, the public deserves transparency. They deserve the police
to be held accountable. But if they think that they're
going to allow some bully to continue to harass police officers,
(01:20:17):
it's just not going to happen. There are plenty of
cops out there that we're wishing that that was them
because they would have arrested.
Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
Her fair enough. Well, if folks want to sign the petition,
FOP President Ken Cover, where do they go.
Speaker 9 (01:20:28):
To do that?
Speaker 16 (01:20:29):
Goodness sincy c I n c Y police dot Com.
All the information that is all held by the FOP,
So it's not like the city's getting this information.
Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
We're storing all this information.
Speaker 16 (01:20:41):
It's private and you know, we want to be able
to see that you know how many people are actually
out there supporting the police, because we know there's a
ton of you.
Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
All amen to that. FOP President can Cover. I can't
thank you enough for the time you spent my listeners
and me talking about this important topic. I'll look for
hard to having you back on and if listeners want
to sign a petition, I'll encourage them to do so. Ken,
keep up the great work, my friend, Thanks for coming

a very happy Monday, made extra special every Monday at
this time. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman
for the Monday Morning smith Avan. Christopher, always a pleasure
having on my show.
Speaker 9 (01:22:46):
Oh, thank you so much, Brian for having me on.
So I'll get at the first question that you have presented.
A Yes, I did pull a petition to run for
city council on Friday around four pm. So we're in
the process of collecting signatures to get my name on
the ballot, and we have a short window nine days.
(01:23:08):
The signatures are due on the twentieth, and so we're
excited about it. You know, my frustration is, like with
everyone else. You know, we've seen a city hall that
seems to just miss some very important facts around crime
or safety in our community, brother or dealing with what's
(01:23:29):
happening in Hyde Park with the development there, and it
just seemed to be ignored.
Speaker 10 (01:23:33):
That's a very very, very very big deal.
Speaker 9 (01:23:36):
And so you know, this city Council has really set
race relations back ten years the comment by the President
pro Tem, and one of the reasons I want to
explain this is that thirty years ago we didn't have
the internet the way we have it now. And so
when you can go to Europe and see a statement
from the President pro Tem which is thirty in command
(01:23:56):
that says that Holly was begging for the beat down
that she got right, is devastating for the economics of
our city. It is the devastating for the economics of
our city, is devastating for our reputation, and the President
Protend just seems to not understand it. If the mayor
(01:24:17):
wanted to hold her accountable today, he could strip her
of her title President Protend. He could demand that council
revoke that. It doesn't make sense to me. So there
are a lot of good reasons to put my name
on the ballot to give the citizens of Cincinnati in
our fifty two neighborhoods an option. It's going to be
up to them if they want to keep the status
quo where we're heading, They're not going to vote for me.
(01:24:39):
If they like a change and a voice on Council
of Reason and common Sense, no matter what their political
party is, they'll vote for me. Well, yes, I did
pull a petition. We'll be working incredibly hard over the
next nine days to get the five hundred good signatures to.
Speaker 10 (01:24:53):
Put my name on ballot.
Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Well, what can my Cincinnati City of Cincinnati dwelling listeners
do to help you out on that? A place they
can go to sign the petition? Where's it going to
be circulated? What can we do to put you here?
With the top there?
Speaker 9 (01:25:04):
Christopher, So, Jim and Jack is the headquarters and people
can just come down. Like I said before, it's the
super majority of people that work here. The owner and
it's gym is daughter who runs at Karen Jim.
Speaker 4 (01:25:20):
They all live in the.
Speaker 9 (01:25:21):
City of Cincinnati. I live at Price Hill and so
they're here circulating. They're not open on Mondays, but Tuesday
through Sunday they can just walk into the establishment say
they're here to sign the petition. And sign the petition.
That's what we need, and the key is that we need,
as you indicated, Brian, citizens that live in the city
of Cincinnati, in our fifty two neighborhoods. The second thing
(01:25:43):
that we need is for people to pick up a
petition and take it home. Now, this is a detail
that's important, Like we don't need people necessarily to fill
out the whole petition. Just you come in, husband comes in,
signs the petition, takes the petition home, has his wife witnesses,
his wife's signature is children's signature, and then brings it back.
They might get three or four signatures, but we know
(01:26:05):
all those signatures are good. The key to this is validity.
It's not volume. It's getting the right people in the
city who are registered to vote where their address matches
the Board of Elections to sign the petition so we
can turn those signatures in by the twenty Well, I
appreciate the opportunity to say that and thank you Brian
for that time.
Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
Listen, man, I can't think of a better thing to
happen for the city. Since now you're getting on the
bout and getting elected, you have a record that you
can run on. You can point back to your record
successful it was, to your record on common sense, logic
and reason. Of course, offering an alternative voice to the
lockstep unified voice, we get out of the Democrats, which
quite often doesn't make any sense. So wonderful development, folks,
(01:26:45):
you have an opportunity to help out. Let's change the direction.
Let's get Christopher on the ballot and then of course
do the hard work of getting him elected. Christopher, I'm
really pleased with the announcement. I really really am, and
I'm excited for you, and I'm think about good things
maybe coming for the city of Cincinnati. We got great
options coming up this fall, great options. Just question of
whether the city wakes up and decides they're not going
(01:27:06):
to do the same thing over and over and over again.
Another time. We'll bring Christopher back. Let's wait first, though,
a word for my friends at USA Insallation. Outstanding product,

on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
To Shy at seven twenty nine to fifty five kr
C the talk station Brian Thomas with former vice mayor
of the City of Cincinnati and maybe councilmen again, Christopher Smithman.
Christopher Eric commented to me, he said, when Corey Bowman
gets elected, we can get Christopher Smithemer as vice mayor again.
Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
Maybe well, well.
Speaker 9 (01:29:38):
We'll leave that, yeah, Mayor Cory Bowman, right, But what
I will say is that this will give I hope
the citizens of Cincinnati, you know, an option, and I'm
one of a few good options on there because I
think Stephen Gooden is, oh yeah, a good guy who's running.
(01:29:58):
I served with him, always came prepared, professional, understood the
subject matter, and delivered the vote and didn't mind being
in the minority. People don't realize that the descending vote
is also very important because it means that those citizens
in the fifty two neighborhoods who wanted to hear a
no vote got it, and it meant that somebody heard
(01:30:20):
them and was standing with them on their position. That's
number one, but number two, it also forces negotiations, meaning
sometimes votes are five to four, they're right there on
the bubble, and that kind of pressure Brian Thomas sometimes
makes the other side conceive points that are important to
get the compromise. So we can't keep doing what we're doing.
(01:30:41):
We can't have nine Democrats on council. A mayor that's
a Democrat. They're just running the table as a group think.
And typically those types of board of directors are bad
for cities. We see it in Chicago right now. Chicago
is in so much economic trouble, and often it's because
they've had a group think, you know. So anyway, it's
(01:31:04):
an option, and I'm not gonna harp on that. I
want to say, there was some type of fight in
downtown Cincinnati. We've had shots fired, all kinds of things,
but there was a fight that citizens are talking about
between some white citizens down in downtown Cincinnati. And it
looked like white youth. And so it's important for the
mainstream media to talk about it, right, don't hide that
(01:31:28):
under the carpet. What happened? How are we as a
city managing that. Did they arrest anybody, whether they were
juveniles or they going to juvenile court? How was it
a dressed It didn't look like a fair fight. It
looked like somebody several young men looked like they were
jumping on one or two people. But it looked like chaos,
and it did look like an officer was on team
(01:31:49):
breaking it up. So that's a good thing. I mean
that there was somebody there responding to it. But the
point is that we want to be balanced in our
coverage about what's happening in our city, and this is
one of those opportunities for mainstream media to do just that.
Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
In my opinion, yeah, I agree, And crime is crime
is crime. Whether it's white kids beating up on somebody
or black kids beating up on somebody. The problem is
we've got a bunch of kids runn around beating up
on people, and that's not a good view. I mean,
if you want to paint the city of Cincinnati is
a safe place, does it matter the color of the
person's skin if you're going to probably get a beatdown
if you're going downtown Cincinnati. The point is is crime
(01:32:24):
is a problems.
Speaker 9 (01:32:27):
That's absolutely true. And we can't have leaders undermining law
enforcement no matter what. Because I heard the FOP president
in his interview, and so you can't have leaders in
the city undermining getting in between the work of what
our Cincinnati Police Department is doing. And by the way,
you know, having served as the Chair of Law and
(01:32:49):
Public Safety, that's part of their job, that kind of oversight.
Meaning if I were the Chair of Law and Public
Safety and I had an incident like that, I would
have a hearing on it. I'd ask the person, the
employer who's involved, the contractor police come in and explain this,
meaning this is not something that's normal and not something
that should happen. So part of the problem is the
(01:33:09):
council isn't functioning giving the oversight, and then it triggers
the FOP to have to do the things that they're doing.
It's because city Council is not doing what they're supposed
to do, which is police themselves, police the institution. That's
why they're serving as the board of directors. So again
that's another reason, right, it's important to get people elected
on council because let's say Stephen Gooden was a member
(01:33:32):
of council, he probably would say, here's a motion, I'd
like to have a hearing on the subject matter that
the FOP president was just talking about, which is talking
about it from the outside, but there should be somebody
on council of the nine of them saying this is
a problem. We're going to have a hearing about it
and have a public discussion.
Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
Well, same thing on the President pro TEMs, just unbelievably
horrific statement about this. People deserving a beatdown, including Holly,
who seem to be completely innocent whole thing. So yeah,
you might advance the motion to address that and sanction her,
otherwise remove her from any you know, a membership position
on any given committee.
Speaker 9 (01:34:10):
You know, I the is no question Brian Thomas, there
is no question that out of nine members of council,
the president pro tem who's third in command. So that
means that when the mayor's out of town, the vice
mayor's out of town, the President pro tem is running
the city third in command. So in the country, it's
right the president, the vice president, and then the Speaker
of the House. The reality of it is you at
(01:34:33):
the Speaker of the House, like in the connection of
power in the city, saying that Hollywood was begging for
what happened to her, And you don't have that resolution
that you just discussed by any member of councilor of
the mayor saying we're going to censure her, We're going
to strip her of some committee chairmanships or a committee positions,
(01:34:55):
or we're going to strip her of her president pro
tem and it doesn't her title, because that then what's
happening is and you know this is her comments are
playing in Europe. Yeah, this is around the world community.
It's not like this is local to Cincinnati. People are
discussing what she said around the world, not just the
(01:35:16):
United States of America. And there's not that other voice
in the void that's elected down there saying we don't
agree with this, We're going to hold her accountable. The
peace is we're going to hold her accountable. It's not
okay just to say, hey, I don't agree with what
she said. If you have to take the next step
here to say, here's how we're going to hold this
elected official accountable, Brian Tard, that's missing in the system
(01:35:38):
right now.
Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
Yeah, And I mean the silence from the rest of
the council is really deafening along those lines because that
statement cannot be justified under any circumstances none. So it
is a bad optic for the City of Cincinnati. I mean,
she is an elected official, as you point out, in
the third highest role on the city and said that
(01:35:59):
Holly deserved to get punched in the face. I'm just
I'm beside myself still on that one. Let's continue with
Christopher Smith and at seven thirty five right now if
you five KCD talk station. But after a word for

We all remember that one.
Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Seven thirty nine fifty five KERR CD talk station. Brian
Talling with with Christopher Smithman may Orrill are a council candidate.
If we can get him on the ballot. Get over
to Jim and Jackson the River. Not today because they're
closed on Mondays, but that's where you can find a petition.
Make sure Christopher has valid signatures of residents of the
City of Cincinnati so you can get on the ballot
and we'll have a better option as we get forward
closer to the election of this November. Good Man, he
(01:37:45):
is Christopher, you're talking about the situation Iris Rawley. I
had FOP President Ken Coob we're on earlier, talking about
petition they're circulating to have her removed from her role
as a consultant getting paid by the City of Cincinnati
while out there interfering with police officers. And you know
because you heard it. The point I was making with
him is she is She's got a lot of swing
(01:38:05):
in the Cincinnati area among residents political activists outspoken, clearly
been around since the collaborative agreement, So her voice, in
spite of what you or I may conclude about it,
does carry a lot of weight. So I think it's
important this petition because she is literally committing a crime
by interfering with the actions of police officers. This is
(01:38:26):
a warning to Iris Rawley, as he indicated, to not
do it anymore, or you're going to get sighted next
time it happens. But it's also a warning to the
rest of the residents. Because Iris are roally out there
bothering and interfering with police doing their work. That's incentive
to others to do the same thing. Much in the
same way. Victoria Parks President pro Temps comment that those
folks deserve the beatdown they got is kind of a
(01:38:49):
suggestion to other residents of the city of Cincinnati. Hey,
it's okay to beat up on whitey, or at least
that's kind of a conclusion you draw your take.
Speaker 9 (01:38:58):
Well, look first, if we had a functioning administration and counsel,
the FOP president would not have to do what they're doing,
because the city manager would call that contractor in in
this case Irish Roly and say never ever engage in
this behavior. You cannot go out. And then, certainly on
(01:39:20):
this bodycam, it's saying I think the statement was I
don't trust you or I don't trust the police. I mean,
it was one of the statements something like that to
the officer who was trying to cite the person on
the bicycle and the person the officer was saying in
a very respectful way. By the way, I'd give her
an a plus in how she handled the situation.
Speaker 3 (01:39:40):
I hope you give me.
Speaker 9 (01:39:41):
She did a wonderful job managing that right because she
understood the political ramification right and that she was doing
her best to de escalate. She didn't want to put
handcuffs on Irish Roly, but she needed to do her
job of citing this person back to jail. So it
was a very tough situation for the officers or kudos
to her. But at the end of the day, if
(01:40:02):
the city manager right, if she was doing her job,
she would say, look, not only don't do it, but publicly,
I'm going to make sure that I send the message
to the community that this was unacceptable behavior. So because
that's not happening. The statement that I heard you read
from the city manager was kind of like, these are
(01:40:22):
the great things, yes, that the contractor does for our community,
which is not dealing with the issue that the FOP
president is putting forward. So because and by the way, Brian,
somebody on council, the chair of Lauren Public Safety, the
vice chair of Lauren Public Safety, a member of Law
(01:40:43):
and Public Safety should be engaging here with the oversight. Again,
that's the part of the dysfunction that the FLP president
has to come and do any of this work.
Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
Well, I will give some credit to City Manager Long
she did conclude with anyone doing work on behalf of
the city of Cincinnati, iris Rawley must hold themselves to
a higher standard. That includes not interfering with police who
are in the act of performing their lawful duties. So
she is on record sort of, I guess in a
sense giving Iris Rawley a notice. Look, you didn't get
(01:41:13):
a ticket previously, although you could have easily gotten one,
don't do it again.
Speaker 9 (01:41:21):
But Brian, the problem is that she's trying to find
the balance when right now you have an employee here
and are a contractor, and you should just say at
the end of that that should have been the only statement. No,
because what you were talking about and what the FOP
president is talking about, we don't want anybody else doing
it exactly, meaning this is how Sunny Kim lost his life.
(01:41:42):
There was somebody getting in between. That's what andre Ewing
was saying as an officer, which, by the way, I
have tremendous respect for andre Ewing as an officer. I
served with him on council and his work that he's
doing now because he's calling out things right and wrong
and he's not bathing in race and is so here
on what he's saying. But having said that, the system
(01:42:04):
is dysfunctional. Yet another reason I want to say, highlight
this hyde Park Square deal right now. Remember hyde Park
went to all of the meetings and said hey, developer,
this is not what we want. Right. I think there
were two members of council who said no and seven
that said yes, and so it put Hyde Park in
(01:42:24):
this position where they had to go out collect signatures
like I'm collecting to put my name on the ballot.
They put their issue on the ballot and they're doing
a referendum and they're putting pressure on the developer. If
they had a functioning city council, the council would have said, look,
let's pause this for ninety days. The Planning commissioner said yes.
I served on the Planning Commission for four years, and
(01:42:46):
by the way, I loved the Planning Commission staff, and
that is since there they know I love them. They
do great work. But the Planning Commission is saying here's
our recommendation. When they got to the floor of council,
there should have been a majority of members saying high Park.
The people that we represent are saying they have a
problem with this. We're going to put this on hold
for ninety days. We're gonna sit down with the developers
(01:43:07):
and we're going to negotiate the height and negotiate the issues.
Because the High Park residents aren't saying they don't want it.
They're saying they wanted to conform with the zoning that's
in front of them. Why are you changing the rules
in the middle of the game. That's the discussion, that's it.
And so my point is that it's a shame that
Hyde Park had to go through what they're going through.
(01:43:30):
But guess what. Let's talk about bond Hill. Bond Hill
has development over there, beautiful homes that they're building, five
hundred thousand dollars, homes that people have invested their money in.
There was an absolute discussion that no low more low
income housing was going to go into Badhil. Guess what
council put low income housing right or they're pursuing this
(01:43:51):
right in the heart around these homes that are being built.
And the point is, I'm not saying that people who
don't have means have low value or low bad morals
and blah blah blah, but it's not the agreement that
they made. And most Americans still have the majority of
their wealth in their home. So why would city council
(01:44:12):
take an action where they keep putting great development in
other neighborhoods and then look at a middle class really
solid neighborhood like bond Hill and drop bad things that
the residents are saying they don't want. These are the
things that alarm me.
Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
Yeah, well, I mean it's an interesting reality because forever
council members would pay lip service the idea of redeveloping communities,
like how much money was put into over the Rhine
and making it gentrified and beautifying it and expensive rental properties.
They wanted to bring in wealthy urban hipsters who pay taxes.
Isn't that exactly what bond Hill's doing. Shouldn't council welcome
(01:44:49):
the idea that people are willing to invest half a
million dollars in a home. Those are tax payers, Yes.
Speaker 9 (01:44:56):
And the majority of them, majority of them are African American,
and they're going, what the heck? They're as frustrated as
Hyde Park, meaning Hyde Park has to understand that their
connection to what's happening in price Ville, where there's Warsaw
Avenue which has been devastated, right around Seaton and right
around Elder High School. If those high schools weren't there,
price Hille would have gone the pot they're holding it
(01:45:18):
down there. My point is you have a pattern where
city council. They're not listening to the fifty two neighborhoods.
This connect community thing that the mayor pushed, who heard
most of the fifty two neighborhoods say, we don't want this,
we don't want this, we don't want this. What if
they do shoved it down their throat. That's why I
decided to put my name on the ballot. And we
(01:45:39):
really hope, Brian, that people will come to Jim and
Jack starting tomorrow sign the petition if they live in
the City of Cincinnati. Make this easy for us. Drive
sign the petition, have a coffee, sit down and put
my name. Get my name on the ballot. So we
have a choice because early voting starts October the fourth,
somewhere around there, thirty days of voting, so this is
(01:46:01):
not a lot of time. By the time I get
the signature, my name goes on the ballot and the
fifty two neighborhoods have a choice. Do you want me
back down there to give your neighborhood a voice. You're
not going to always agree with me, but what you
will get is the truth, and you'll get somebody with
common sense who loves the city of Cincinnati. And who
would never say that Holly was begging for the beatdown
(01:46:25):
that she got. I pray that I hear Holly on
this show five fifty. I hope she comes in and

Fifty ARC the Talk Station.
Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
Eight oh five. Here I think about KRCD Talk Station.
It being Monday, It's that time of week. Get to
talk money matters. It's time for money Monday with Brian
James from Allworth Financial. Brian James, Welcome back to the
morning show. Hope you had a great weekend. Good morning,
mister Thomas. Happy hot summer to you. Yeah. Really, I
thought we were done with that anyway, it is August.
I guess we'll have to roll with it until the
cooler temperatures come in. That's okay.
Speaker 18 (01:48:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
It takes a little while for these tariffs to kind
of settle in. You and I have talked a lot
about Trump's on again, off again tariffs. You know, one
minute there's a fifty percent tariff, next minute it's been
held off. Negotiations begin or not, as the case may be,
the point being, ultimately you hope to sit down with
a country negotiate something that's palatable to both sides, sometimes successful,
sometimes not. But higher tariffs everyone has been saying are
(01:48:52):
going to result in higher prices, which does make sense.
Apparently that's starting to trickle in in terms of the
numbers that are reported.
Speaker 19 (01:48:59):
Yep, we're starting to see some. You know, we've talked
about this before. We're hitting the point where, you know,
when the day we start talking about tariffs and the
headlines is not the day they start having an impact
on inflation, right, And in that situation for several months
and the way companies work. And we've talked about this
several times too. Remember there was a spike in economic
activity in Q one that looked fantastic, which wasn't beat
where the economy is still doing okay as we're sitting
(01:49:21):
here right now. The spike in Q one had a
lot to do with countries just staying ahead. Our companies
rather staying ahead when these tariffs are going to kick
in because everybody knew something was on the horizon, we
just didn't yet know what. Therefore, they were front loading
their inventories and things they had to buy just to
stay ahead of the pricing to buy themselves a little time. Well,
clocks taking and we're now those resources are somewhat depleted.
(01:49:41):
We kind of got to get back to where we were.
So course CPI. Let's switch to today's headlines. Core CPI
is projected to increase by about a three tenths of
a percent in July. That's the largest gain since early
twenty twenty five. I hate when we have headlines like
that that compared to some historic period that is not
that long ago, right, largest gain since six months ago.
(01:50:02):
Wooh yeah, it's a point, but it's the trajectory of course,
so yet we are seeing this because this is coming
from tariff induced price increases, household furnishings, recreational goods, those
kinds of things. Headline CPI of course, Now this is
kind of ironic, brind headline. CPI may only rise by
point by by about point two percent, and that is
(01:50:22):
helped by lower gasoline prices. How long has it been
since we looked at gas and oil as something that's
keeping inflation in check?
Speaker 9 (01:50:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
I know, but I mean you can't deny the reality
of it. Gas is a lot cheaper right now.
Speaker 19 (01:50:33):
And we talked about it all summer, right, we skipped
you and I skipped over the entire vacation period. We
didn't talk about the price of the pump. I don't
think I said those words all summer long. No, And
it's the first year, I think, And I mean this
is the heavy driving time. Of course, it has been
since school let out. So the idea that gasoline hasn't
been up when it traditionally spikes, it's a great omen.
Are we are we should we anticipate lower price gasoline
(01:50:53):
into the future, Brian, You know that, though that's always
tough to guess. My crystal balls as broke as everybody
else is. However, we do seem to be in an
environment where things are friendly, supplies are okay, We've we've
got more friendly regulation towards drilling in this country.
Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Uh, And I think that's what's what's keeping it down.
Speaker 19 (01:51:10):
There's a lot of people not happy about that, and
there's you know, there's downsides to all this as well,
but currently that's what pushes it down the list of
stuff we should be worried about in terms about the
overall economy.
Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
Now, I'm not overly worried that we're going to be
talking about gas prices in the near future. Well, I
keep hearing about all these billions of dollars that the
US has taken in as a consequence of these increased tariffs.
Where's where's our slice of that action? Brian?
Speaker 19 (01:51:32):
You know, that's a great question, and I really wish
somebody could get past Carolyn Lovett with that and just
force the president to answer to say, where are all
these dollars going? Great, We're generating all this money, you know,
from these tariffs, where does it actually van is it
getting distributed?
Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Uh, you know, to to the you know, to the
people who voted all.
Speaker 19 (01:51:49):
This into place, my guess is going to be no
otherwise we'd be talking about that because it would start
to sell votes for the midterms.
Speaker 3 (01:51:54):
So my guess is it's simply going in.
Speaker 19 (01:51:56):
To fill the holes that we're that are being created
with some of the the tax cuts on corporations. And
since we focused more on cutting taxes and really haven't
done much in the way of spending, DOSE seems to
have kind of gone away.
Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
Very very quietly, I might add.
Speaker 19 (01:52:10):
I you know, when you read all this on paper,
when it became clear what the platform was going to be,
it sounded like there was going to be a body
that was going to cut costs and then there was
going to be a body that was going to figure
out how to lower taxes in response, so at least
we keep things whatever balanced means anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
But that does not seem to have happened. I haven't
whatever happened to that wall of receipts from DOSE.
Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
That's a long winded answer to say, I don't know,
but I sure am curious just like you.
Speaker 12 (01:52:35):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
I mean, it's a legiti why I asked it out
a lot, it's a legitimate question. But I suppose if
you're looking at all the numbers, let's say at the
end of the year, we've taken in X billions of dollars.
That's money that we got that we otherwise wouldn't have received.
So the numbers, at least in terms of like deficit spending,
will be less, right, all things being equal, just by
virtue of the tariffs coming in. Yeah, and that that
(01:52:58):
is again paper.
Speaker 19 (01:53:00):
I want to see this work mechanically, so let's talk
about the mechanics of it. So when we collect tariffs,
they're collected by the customs and border patrols, sent directly
to the treasury.
Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
They're not ear marked specifically for.
Speaker 19 (01:53:10):
Anything unless that's unless that's legislatively done, which that's not
something we do anymore apparently. But usually it just goes
into the kind of overall general government spending, reducing the
federal deficit. And sometimes there are specific earmarks for subsidies
like we mentioned, but that is in the past. That's
what we've done in the past. Now we are very
not exactly transparent about where it's going. So we're collecting
(01:53:33):
about fifty billion dollars annually, and the average tariff as
we're sitting here right now is about seventeen percent on
imported goods. That's the highest it's been since about the
nineteen thirties, Brian. So somebody is going to have to
explain where all these dollars are going, since we're bringing
in more than we have in a century.
Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
Yep, no doubt. And one of the things I saw
I noted in the article in terms of price hikes,
they say firms are having a difficult time hiking prices
in spite of the fact that they're now facing these
terriffs they have to deal with because real disposable income
growth has not been very good for the household. So
the tail in people who are buying goods and services
don't have any more money to deal with a price increase,
(01:54:11):
which is causing firms and maybe hold off on increasing prices,
which means their profits are lower, which means their quarterly
earning statements are going to be lower.
Speaker 7 (01:54:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (01:54:20):
So the narrative that happened during the during the campaign
and has continued is that other countries are going to
pay for this, other countries will pay Well, that's not
really the case. What we're doing is we're increasing the
cost of doing businesses for domestic company companies who have
to bring in these resources to create and sell their products,
they have to pass those through so and eventually the
(01:54:42):
consumer has pricing power. We live pretty high on the
hog in this country, so yes, when we have to,
that's a good thing. But when we have to, we
can and do tighten our belts. That's what we're starting
to see. We're starting to see the end consumer saying,
you know what, I really don't need this. I can
find another solution for this problem. I don't need to
spend this much. And that means those costs are not
being passed or they are being born, however, by the
companies that produce those products and services, not the countries
(01:55:05):
that sell us the resources.
Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
All right, and the whole hope I believe by the
Trump administrations that over time that will re shore a
lot of the things that we're buying from these higher
tariff countries. Now you'll choose to build the products here
in the United States. But you know, there's still this
long long standing reality that the reason these things got
off short in the first place, manufacturing, et cetera. If
it's a hell of a lot cheaper to do it
(01:55:27):
in those other countries, question whether the tariff makes that
historic challenge, you know, to compete with the United States,
which has all these ocean rules and these environmental rules,
and it has all these labor rules, and instead of
making the price of building something here more expensive, does
that balance that to create a better environment here to
the extent that it's going to negate the tariff So
(01:55:49):
far it would seem to on paper, yes, we are.
Speaker 19 (01:55:52):
We are seeing headlines of companies that are bringing bringing
manufacturing on back on shore. So Apple has committed to
six hundred billion dollars over four years. Right then there's
a huge plant going in down in Heridsburg, Kentucky. That's
going to be that's a corning plant that they make
gorilla glo. Yes, all the glass and iPhones. So there
are things happening. Taiwan Semiconductors is committing a lot in
the United States, Nvidia, Hyundai, Ford. There are a lot
(01:56:14):
of plans to get these factories up and running. However,
but like you mentioned, what is it cost to pay
a factory worker here in the United States versus somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
There are so many moving parts to this, Brian.
Speaker 19 (01:56:24):
You've got countries that we've relied on for I don't know,
maybe a notch or two above slave labor because they
earn nothing, but they work in the factories here. You
can't do that because we do want to maintain a
certain standard of living for our citizens. However, that makes
everything more expensive. So what I have not yet seen
is what falls out. What's the cost of an iPhone
that is manufactured completely in the United States? How much
(01:56:45):
does it go up so that we can have that
stamp on it?
Speaker 7 (01:56:47):
Right?
Speaker 19 (01:56:48):
I don't know what's good or bad about it, but
that's a question has been answered yet for me.
Speaker 3 (01:56:52):
Maybe there's that component or element that, well, Americans would
be more willing to pay a little bit more for
something made here. I know there's still some of patriotism
when it comes to choosing where goods and services are
created and manage.
Speaker 19 (01:57:03):
Absolutely that still results in inflation somehow, some way. So
it does you know, political support purposes.
Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
But money is money. Money is money. Let's come up
on eight fifty fifty five kr CD talk station. Do
you want crypto in your four oh one K? And
some new benefits companies are offering those two more subjects
we'll get in the next segment with Brian James. I'll
be right back fifty five KRC dot Com eight nineteen
fifty five kr CD talk station doing that money Monday
(01:57:29):
thing with all of financials, Brian James A. Brian, We've
talked about this before. Private equity as one of the
things that they're opening up to include in four to
one K program investments, along with maybe cryptocurrencies in a
state of FLUXI appear to be I guess quick question
up front, why can't we invest our four oh one
K dollars in these things? Or haven't been able to
(01:57:50):
deal with these things already? What's what's wrong with them
as an investment vehicle.
Speaker 19 (01:57:54):
Well, in the past, I would say the Department of
Labor has rules in place. By the way, the Apartment
of Labor governs four oh one k's retirement plans, not
directly the SEC. The SEC plays a role, But you
can own a mutual fund inside your four oh one
K that is that the DL has an opinion on.
You can own the exact same tick or symbol mutual
fund outside in just a plain old broker's account, and
(01:58:15):
the DOL has nothing to do with it. So Department
of Labor historically has weighed in on retirement assets and
basically decided that the companies who provide them, your employers
and my employer has a fiduciary obligation to some extent
to make sure that people don't you know, effectively have
enough rope to hang themselves. And so that's why over
the years you've probably seen the reduction and options in
(01:58:38):
your four one K. I would see people early in
my career, they would bring in the list of choices
they have for all their mutual funds and there'd be
like fifty of them on there. The result of that
is people would do nothing and they would leave it
sit in the money market for ten fifteen years, and
then we would have to kind of explain exactly how
much money had been left on the table because they
didn't sit down and figure out how that works. Now
so that we dependulum kind of swung the other direction.
(01:58:58):
Then we saw a lot of reduction to the choices
you have and simplification. That's when target date funds came in.
You know you're going to retire in twenty fifty five.
Here's here's a catch all fund. Throw it all in
there and be done with it. And you saw now
nowadays there are funds out there or fur to one
k's that have very few options. Pendulum is now swinging
back the other way. We're throwing the door open. So
President Trump signed an order on the on August seventh,
(01:59:19):
just the other day called Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets
for four oh one K. I tried to figure out
the acronym for that.
Speaker 3 (01:59:26):
There isn't one. I was looking for qt I. I
was disappointed.
Speaker 19 (01:59:29):
But anyway, this order directs the d L, the SEC,
and the Treasury to update their regulations to enable alternative assets.
This is the kind of stuff such as private equity,
real estate, cryptocurrency, private debt, private equity, private debt. By
the way, what those are. Those are direct arrangements between you, you,
one human being, and some business. There's no exchange, there's
no stock market, bond market behind it. It's just an
(01:59:51):
exchange between you and you know whoever is the borrowing
entity or taking your capital for their investment. Technology these
days allows that to happen and mass, which means it
can look to the sort of like a mutual fund,
but there are just a lot more or a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:00:05):
Fewer guardrails, if you will.
Speaker 19 (02:00:07):
So the reason they're doing this though, Brian, twelve trillion
dollars is out there in four to one case that
currently is limited to mostly stock and bond and mutual
fund type investments. Obviously, there's a lot of people out
there who want to get their pause on those dollars
to push capital endeavors.
Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
Okay, which you know crypto, you know, it's like piece
of God to me, Brian James. There's so many different
crypto forms out there, I can't keep track of even
the names. They seem to come out almost on a
daily basis. Of course, bitcoin's the most widely known among them.
And man, the price of bitcoin has gone through the roof.
But I mean, are are they really more valuable than
anything but ether? Brian?
Speaker 19 (02:00:43):
You know, I have said this before on these airwaves
and I'll say it again, and I'll say it to
my clients. Crypto has a role, It plays a role
somehow in our financial world.
Speaker 3 (02:00:54):
But to me, not yet.
Speaker 19 (02:00:56):
It's just a medium of speculation, that's all. It is,
not being I don't even call it currency anymore. We
just called crypto. Used to be cryptocurrency. Now it's just crypto.
A currency is something that gets exchanged for other things.
This is just something we own and we hope the
price goes up. That's not how it was touted to
begin with. I believe eventually it will take its role
there somewhere, because there are a lot of efficiencies and
things to be gained by doing business on the blockchain. Frankly,
(02:01:19):
but whether it's bitcoin or dogecoin or trump coin or
all of that, that's the speculative side of things.
Speaker 3 (02:01:24):
So I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 19 (02:01:25):
I'm not a little I'm significantly concerned about people again
having way too much access to this.
Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
So think about it this way.
Speaker 19 (02:01:32):
If I'm somebody who has never invested, and now I
can in my four to one K, but I never
had the opportunity, so I didn't bother to learn. If
I just go check a box that, yeah, I want
twenty five percent or fifty or worse in my four
to one k and whatever the new crypto fund is,
then I'm going to about to learn a hard lesson
about life.
Speaker 3 (02:01:47):
Well, and it sounds to me like a bubble that's
ripe to burst. Brian, Yeah, it's tough to say. That's
not the only thing that holds me back on that
is that the demand is obviously still there.
Speaker 7 (02:01:56):
I do.
Speaker 19 (02:01:56):
It's a little different from the other you know, mania
that we've had in the past, because there does seem
to be some utility to it at some point. However,
we are not yet using it that way, and really
our leaders aren't talking about it that way.
Speaker 3 (02:02:09):
Yeah, you can't go to Kruger and pay your bill
with crypto, right.
Speaker 19 (02:02:12):
They don't want it either, because they don't want their
unerceivable to bounce, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:02:15):
And the widely fluctuating value of any cryptocurrency in terms
of its market value, like thirty thousand dollars per coin
on bitcoin, and that could change tomorrow, it could be
worth fifteen thousand. How do you judge the value of
any given transaction with an ever fluctuating, widely fluctuating market.
Speaker 19 (02:02:31):
It's again, all any investment is is the product of
an auction. That's all the stock market is. What does
everybody think it's worth right now?
Speaker 4 (02:02:38):
Today?
Speaker 3 (02:02:38):
Your house isn't an auction. Somebody will pay something for it.
What is the something?
Speaker 19 (02:02:42):
Cryptocurrency changes twenty four hours, seven days a week. The
other thing I'll throw out here for those of you
who might be excited thinking about this, remember, if you're
dipping your toe in the water dip your small toe,
because even if this goes the wrong way on you,
you will not get to deduct the loss because it's
tax sheltered already inside your four oh one k ooh.
Speaker 3 (02:02:58):
Valuable point from Brian James. Real quick here, we won't
have time to dive on really deeply. But is the
market that competitive for employers out there hiring people that
they have to offer all these different extra options beyond
just for one K match and some some medical insurance apparently.
Speaker 19 (02:03:13):
So we've got some companies out there offering some pretty
pretty crazy things out there.
Speaker 3 (02:03:16):
So there's there's the typical, right.
Speaker 19 (02:03:18):
So Amazon will cover ninety five percent of tuition for
in demand career training. Starbucks does similar, Walmart target They're
they're all helping people get higher educations. That's not too crazy.
That's been out there for a while. But we're now
starting to see things such as surrogacy, adoption and fertility
support out there. This isn't a bad thing, it's just
it's an interesting step that we're taking Morgan Stanley into
(02:03:38):
a Deloitte or some of the names on that list.
Speaker 3 (02:03:40):
Here's a crazy one. Some of the fintech.
Speaker 19 (02:03:43):
Providers out there, these these are the these are the
sort of West Coast kind of out there technology companies.
Mortgage as a benefit, so home buying, education, interest rate discount.
So in other words, what they're doing is what is
scaring the pants off of people, and then let's try
to offer that as some kind of a some kind
of a benefit to work here. And of course this
is happening in well, California, because that's where people are
(02:04:04):
most scared of thee Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (02:04:06):
Who can afford a home in California? And of course
something Joe Strecker gets paid vacations with a stipend company
retreats music festivals. There you go add it to the list. Well,
if competition's out there and you're gonna have to step
up to the plate to compete in the market, that's
what they're doing. Brian James Allworth Financial, appreciate your company

Emory branches will be will have the new share Facts
logo on them at some point in the future, but
as of October first, you'll be able to use whether
you're a share Facts member or an Memory member, You'll
be able to use any one of our nine locations.
Speaker 3 (02:07:25):
Across the Greater Cincinnati. Oh, you're increasing the number of
locations with this merger. That's a wonderful thing now for
someone who's been banking with Emory, and I love it.
I can salute to you guys, it's a better way
to bank as the way I always phrase it because
I do have one of those big bank accounts, and
I know there's a distinction there. Are there going to
service is going to change for my Emory friends out there.
Speaker 4 (02:07:45):
No, absolutely not. We're with this merger.
Speaker 7 (02:07:48):
We will.
Speaker 10 (02:07:49):
We will expand services and make more products and offer
enhanced products and services going forward. So we look forward
to this merger and giving members from either Credit Union
more services and better services.
Speaker 3 (02:08:06):
So a better way to bank is going to become
an even better better way to bank. So that's good. Yes, yes,
absolutely wonderful news and will's share factors. Credit Union continue
to do the annual charity event, the golf Outing is
coming up next Monday, the nineteenth annual charity golf tournament
benefiting Children's Hospital Charitable Care Fund. What are you going
(02:08:26):
to continue doing this?
Speaker 4 (02:08:28):
We absolutely will.
Speaker 10 (02:08:30):
You know, Children's Hospital is who we provide the golf
outing for, has been such a huge part in greater
Cincinnati and we want to continue to do the golf
tournament every year to make that donation to the Charitable
Care Fund over at Children's Hospital to help those families.
So this will continue as long as as long as
(02:08:53):
I am involved in any way. The Credit Union has
done this for nineteen years and hope to do it
for night ten or twenty or thirty more well.
Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
And I always appreciate the honor of being able to
say a few words of the golfer before they head
off on their golf round at four Bridges Country Club.
So I'll be there again this year. Give my listeners
the details because it's not too late to sign up. Oh,
it is absolutely not too late to sign up.
Speaker 10 (02:09:17):
We as you said, it's on Monday, August eighteenth, so
a week from today, we'll start registration at ten thirty.
We'll tee it up and get started around one. If
you have any questions want to participate, you can reach
out to Emory directly and Shelley O'Neil can help you
over at Emory. Get signed up and play is either
(02:09:39):
an individual or if you've got four folks that want
to play, we'll take your team and happy to have you.
Speaker 3 (02:09:46):
EMORYFCU dot org is where you sign up get all
the details plus the benefits of banking with them, or
you can learn right there as well.
Speaker 9 (02:09:53):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:09:53):
I'll tell you what are there still opportunities Todd, to
have sponsorships.
Speaker 10 (02:10:00):
There are and just again reach out to the folks
over to Emory. There are a number of sponsorship opportunities
from whole sponsors all the way up to the larger
donations for lunch and other opportunities. So we would love, love,
love donations to help sponsor the golf outing and make
(02:10:21):
that a success. And and all that money goes directly
to directly to the folks over at Children's.
Speaker 3 (02:10:27):
Well before we've heart company today, Todd, do you remind
my listeners about how cool the since a Children's Charitable
Care Fund is. What is it that they do.
Speaker 10 (02:10:37):
That particular part of Children's Hospital With the Care Fund,
the money goes directly to the families in needs, so
whether that be medical expenses or maybe stays in Cincinnati
to be with their be with their children as they're
going through these difficult situations. It does not go directly
to the hospital and into the hospital's general fund. They
(02:10:58):
do a lot of great work with a lot of
other organizations that help support the greater good, but we
wanted to support individual families and folks that are really
struggling and need to be here to support their children.
Speaker 3 (02:11:10):
So this goes directly to the families the need, and
since anty Children's is a magnet from stay across the country.
But you get a lot of folks on life's margins
that come in from out of town that obviously have
living expenses as he mentioned, and other spences that they
really can't manage, but they do need the wonderful care
the Children's offers. So you're helping the charitable care fund
out deal with that, and you're playing golf and having
(02:11:32):
a good time while doing it. So Emory FCU dot org,
get signed up and I'll see you next Monday at
the event. Say you what, keep up the great work, Todd,
and I'm looking for I'm glad you're doing it every
year in spite of the merger. We will see you.
We'll see you next Monday, Brian, looking forward to it,
my friend. It's a thirty five right now. Let's hear
from Todd Sledge from the Cincinni Via care Se does care,
(02:11:53):
and we do care about our veterans in the community.
We're gonna learn about we're gonna find out what happened
to the Voa Country Music festil over the weekend. But
also we're gonna hear a little bit of details about
the Veteran Appreciation Day and opportunity for all of us
to show up and thank the American veterans. That'll be next.
I hope you can stick around.
Speaker 6 (02:12:09):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 3 (02:12:15):
The best approaching eight forty Here fifty five kr CD
Talk Station. Happy Monday, Brian Thomas, happy to welcome to
the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Anything we can do
for the American veterans, which is what the cincinna Va
is doing each and every day, caring for our American veterans.
The return of Todd Sledge and the cincinni DA. Welcome back, Todd.
It's always a pleasure to have you on the fifty
(02:12:35):
five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 18 (02:12:37):
Yeah, good morning to you, Brian, and hopefully you're staying
cool in.
Speaker 10 (02:12:40):
This h really unbelievable. We keep having here and.
Speaker 3 (02:12:43):
Say thank you that. Thank God for air conditioning. Jeez,
little wiz. Yeah, yeah, real quick, did you get the
elevator situation sorted out? Todd Sledge? Real quick? For I
go down that road first?
Speaker 18 (02:12:55):
Yeah no, yeah, no, I'm glad you asked, Brian. Yeah,
it is it's currently underway. We have three operating elevator
base out of our four of those man elevators, so
they're slowly coming to fruition and back up and operating
and that problem fully will be resolved here very soon.
Speaker 3 (02:13:13):
Glad to hear that. So then elevator is no longer
a problem with the VA. All right, moving over, how
did it go at the Country Music vestl you head
out the VOA Park.
Speaker 10 (02:13:22):
Yeah, it was fantastic.
Speaker 18 (02:13:23):
We had an opportunity to showcase one of our mobile
unit assets out there starting Thursday through Sunday, and we
had about approximately over two hundred veterans come through through
our area and engaging us and talk with us. And
one of the things we're really happy about is we
got twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:13:40):
Five new veterans rolled in the VA healthcare.
Speaker 18 (02:13:43):
System over the weekend, but just more and more folks
that's coming. By asking questions, you know, trying to confirm things,
gave out a lot of information. But I got to say, Brian,
one of the things that you and I have talked
about for a long time, and something I've been challenged
with I'm really blessed with for the last thirty years,
is just talking with veterans. But you know there's a
lot of veterans still out there that are not enrolled
(02:14:04):
because you know, well, I don't want to take away
things from other people that need it more than me,
or somebody deserves it more. Every veteran deserves the opportunity
to use their benefits here in Cincinnati. But it was
a good time out there, and kudos to those folks
that put on that event.
Speaker 3 (02:14:20):
Had to be a lot of work, Oh absolutely, and
I'm glad you got this. Twenty five veterans signed up,
and I can't encourage my veteran audience to really consider
signing up. I mean, some I guess are priced out
of eligibility if your earnings are too high. But my
default is to sort of look at it. It's like, well,
you got paid X, but that X salary that you
made when your active duty sort of factored in or
(02:14:43):
didn't include this valuable post service benefit that you get
from the VA. I mean you think about hearing aids
and glasses and mental health services and all these things
the VA provides by way of medical care that's there
and available to the veterans for free. It's why wouldn't
you take advantage of it. He asked, yeah, no, I
(02:15:04):
totally agree.
Speaker 18 (02:15:05):
And we had that question a lot of times a
lot this weekend, and the veterans that said, you know,
I was told I was over income or I didn't
meet this kind of threshold, so you know, which will
lead into our next conversation, talk to a service officer.
I encourage every veteran to talk to a service officer
about filing a claim because you know, depending on you know,
the natural mos that veterans say have, there are conditions
(02:15:27):
that they've probably experienced later on in life that are
result from their service in the military. I was talking
to one gentleman just jokingly. He said, yeah, I was
a rifleman and he had two hearing aids in his ears. Yeah,
And I said, do you get this through the VA?
He goes, No, he goes.
Speaker 10 (02:15:42):
I got him out of the private sector, and I
distantly asked him.
Speaker 18 (02:15:46):
What he paid for him thousand, five thousand dollars five
thousand dollars each, I knew, so when I told him that,
when I told him about what.
Speaker 10 (02:15:54):
We could be doing for him, his his wife gave
him that gentle love cap on the shoulder and said, see,
I told just so. So it's things like that, and
I think a lot of veterans, as we talked over
the weekend, is they don't realize that you can have
private health insurance and use the VA, which is a
huge plus.
Speaker 18 (02:16:10):
It's a huge plus because it allows you to if
something's too expensive or something you shouldn't be paying out
of pocket for it in the private sector, you can
get that done at the VA.
Speaker 3 (02:16:21):
Yeah, you think of the massive out of pocket liability
you've got before insurance even kicks in. Hey, how about
the VA. There's a great option.
Speaker 18 (02:16:29):
Yeah, absolutely, No, absolutely, especially you know when I think
about the prescription program that we have, the you know,
especially the imagery that we do here, the eyeglasses and
the hearing aids, those big bulk expenses, and then of course,
you know you and I always talk about mental health services.
Those are big Those are big financial challenges sometimes, you know,
one of the things that you need, and we can
(02:16:51):
we can really all set and help that here at
the VA here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (02:16:54):
And real quick, some veteran out there going, Okay, you
convinced me, Where do I sign up?
Speaker 18 (02:17:00):
Yeah, it's pretty simple. You know, we have a direct
dial number, uh to our eligibility office and that number
is five one three four seven five six four nine nine.
It's five one three four seven, five six four nine nine.
It's a direct dial number. Talk to our eligibility specialist.
If you're a caargiver out there, if you're the one
that's you know, managing your loved ones healthcare, you can
(02:17:21):
call get some information, but you can't directly enroll that
veteran unless you have a power of attorney. But that's
how simple it is to get the process started.
Speaker 3 (02:17:29):
Todd Sledge will bring it back and talk about the
upcoming Military and Veterans Appreciation Day more with Todd Sledge
from the Cincinntava.

Since ANVA always looking out for the American veteran, and
of course we all have an opportunity to salute the
both active duty military and veterans with the Veteran Appreciation
Day coming up, Todd Sledge, let's talk about the details
on this.
Speaker 18 (02:18:57):
Yeah, Brian, the last couple of years I've talked with
you on your show here, and you've also helped us
communicate this Hamilton County Veterans Service Commission Appreciation Day happened
last year at a Great American ballpark and then a
group of with the Cincinnati v and others, we've been
running an event called Operation thank You, and we've actually
decided to come together and join one force this year
(02:19:21):
with a huge support, and this is a Hamilton County
Veterans Appreciation Day that's going to be happening in August
twenty third down at Sawyer Point. It's going to be
from two to ten pm on that day. Everything is
free to attend. There's free parking, there's some free food,
a lot of great music entertainment. One of the things
I'm excited about, Brian with this with Hamilton County Military
(02:19:43):
and Veterans Appreciation Day happening on that day on the
twenty third, is there's over ninety different veteran resource boosts
that's going to be there in one particular day for
veterans to come through. So if you if you veterans,
you have an opportunity to get out from everything that
you want to know about all the types of resources
that are available to families and caregivers and everybody alike.
(02:20:04):
This is a great event to do that in a
great setting down there. They'll be like I said, from
two to ten. All those boosts will be available first hand,
face to face encounters with folks. There'll be a lot
of different food trucks, there's music entertainment that goes on
throughout the day, and then it ends the evening with
a nice fireworks display down there and down there at
(02:20:25):
Sawyer Points. So folks can go to www dot hcv
SC dot org or you can just google Hamilton County
Veterans Appreciation Day. We're really looking forward to this with all.
Speaker 10 (02:20:37):
Of our partners.
Speaker 3 (02:20:38):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great event. Just chrick or
put a link on my blog page fifty five KRC
dot com son get all the info and details. Do
we need to side? Just do do veterans need to
register in advance to get the free food that's being offered.
I thought there was like a QR code that had
to be scanned.
Speaker 18 (02:20:51):
Yeah, there is a there is a sign up there
on the website for the for the appreciation event we do,
we would be it is recommended to advance and forward,
so they'll be able to do so on site. But
it just makes it easier when veterans get there and
it gives us a nice head count on you know
who's coming forward. I know, the Great American Ballpark event
that Hamilton County had last year, roughly about twenty five
(02:21:13):
hundred veterans that signed up and came through the operation.
Think you had about twelve hundred, So we're expecting a
really good crowd for this, you know, coming together. I
want to thank Orlando so Auza, you know, before he
you know, he departs from his seat. There is a
wonderful partner working with this in the entire office. What
(02:21:33):
Hamilton County has been great and they deserve all the
credit for putting this together. And we're just happy to
be a partner and share the news and be there
with all of our staff. We're going to have people
there from our caregivers, our community outreach, our Veterans Justice
Outreach program. You can enroll again, here's another opportunity two
weekends in enroll to come see us into help out.
So we're looking forward to it, and it really is
(02:21:56):
an appreciation day with the food and the music and
everything that goes on. Well, considering your characterization in the
name of the event appreciation Day, it sounds to me
like all the veterans that you can handle are welcome,
and of course all these different uh uh you know
services that are out there, the ninety booths. But are
the regular joes like ne of the world invited to
show up and show their support for the American veterans. Yeah, absolutely,
(02:22:19):
you know, we want, you know, we want, we'd love
to have the general community come there and do that
and be a part of that. You know, we also
do for our other partner with the Association of the
United States Army. They actually have cadets that have you know,
made the commitment they're going to be taking their oath
that day right there. They go down there in front
of that commander that we'll be doing that. So, yeah,
(02:22:41):
the general community is definitely welcome.
Speaker 10 (02:22:43):
Love to have you there.
Speaker 18 (02:22:44):
If you're a military guy and you want to see
some cool military vehicles and relics, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (02:22:50):
The kids love it, you know.
Speaker 10 (02:22:51):
There they get who day to come down and mister
red it. It really is a festival type of appreciation government.
But you can also get some answers and talk talk
to a lot of people with a lot of resources.
Speaker 3 (02:23:01):
Now, will there be employers there? I means employment opportunity
time for my veteran friends.
Speaker 18 (02:23:08):
There will be a couple of employers there as well.
We've had some people sign up with that as well,
you know, the folks that focus on hiring veterans and
doing things.
Speaker 10 (02:23:16):
And plus one of our.
Speaker 18 (02:23:16):
Divisions from the VA, with our Community Outreach Division, they'll
have one of their employment specialists there as well.
Speaker 3 (02:23:22):
Great employment opportunities as well as all the other services.
Sounds like it's going to be an overwhelming amount of
information and opportunities available for the veteran community. And of
course I encourage my listeners to show up just to
show your support for the American veterans in the active military.
Todd Sledge and the since any VA on behalf of
my listening audience and me personally, thank you for all
that you're doing there for my veterans out there, and
keep up the great work. And I know you're always
(02:23:44):
striving to improve things. Don't hesitate to put a complaint
in the complaint box or address whatever issue you have
with the VA. Todd and the team will do their
best to iron out any hurdles that you're facing over
the VA and getting services right.
Speaker 18 (02:23:56):
Todd, absolutely, you know I always say, you know, we
can't fix something that we're not aware of, that's not operating,
that's the way it's supposed to, and it could be
impacting another veterans. So we definitely need to know and
we want to know when we do that and makes
things better for our folks.
Speaker 3 (02:24:11):
Thank you for doing so, Todd Sledge. Look forward to
having you back on the program and I wish you
all the success in the world again. August twenty third,

about that. He told me last He's like, no, what
(01:37):
news smithman's running for council? Well really, he said, yeah,
I knew about it last week. I was keeping a
lid on it until he talked with someone from the Inquirer.
So I figure it's common news. Apparently it is common news.
Joe Drecker knew about it last week. He didn't let
me know. Christopher, what's up? I thought we were friends.
(01:58):
Seven twenty for the Smith from the former vice mayor

Brian James Ato five for that. At thirty with my
friends from Emory Federal Credit Union, Todd Kine, CEO of
share Facts Credit Union. Actually they've been in they got
into a merger. So the name of the Emory Federal
Credit Union I believe is subject to change. We're going
to ask Todd about that. But we'll also learn about
(02:44):
the golf outing coming up very quickly, Rose Cares since
Ava returns. We'll get a recap of the Voa Country
Music Fight Festival, and then yes, the Veteran Appreciation Day
coming up on August twenty third, and man Ton is
flying Jeez Louise anyway five three seven, four nine fifty
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talko with
(03:05):
Pound five fifty on at and t phones. Someone else
who's running for since I City Council. Steve Gooden, our
legal expert from the law firm Report Variety, chimes in
on matters legal all the time. You're in the fifty
five carsis morning show. Brilliant man he is, and an
outstanding candidate for since I City Council. An alternative to
the same old, same old that we've been engaged in
now for what seems like forty years. Anyway, he posted
(03:27):
on his Facebook post, I just spent some time with
West End residents who described what happened last night. This
post from yesterday, so I'm assuming he's talking about Saturday night.
We wouldn't know because there's been no reporting on this.
He says fifty to sixty shots fired along Clark Street
by the football field, hitting park cars in at least
one house, showing a picture of a bullet that passed
(03:50):
through the taped window. Said automatic gunfire. No arrests, not
in any stats. And along with that he posted I
guess some stats from Thursday. Wow, lots of crime going
on in downtown Cincinnati. Got an assault Walnut Street close
to three pm. I don't know what other is in
terms of the crime stat it's got to leave that go.
Got an arrest at five point thirty Garfield Place, assault
(04:15):
on the seventh again three pm, East Court Street, assault
nine thirteenth Street, and Walnut robbery. This is all again Thursday,
ten pm Central Parkway theft, twelve am Third Street, Cincinnati arrest,
ten ten am Central Avenue at McFarlane. Got an assault
(04:40):
going on seven pm on Vine Street in CINCINNAI. Robbery
Vine Street happened at one twenty eight am. Assault going
on seven pm Vine Street, and finally an assault four
thirty in the morning Walnut at East fifth one day,
small area of City of Cincinnati too addressed by that
crime anyway, don't know anything about the fifty to sixty
(05:03):
shots fired again, Steve Gooden on that one. What else
is going on? Sincinni officials reviewing allegations from the Fraternal
Order of Police. That's what Ken kober is going to
be talking about, calling for Iris Rawley to be fired.
They circulating an online petition which was started by Ken Cobra.
(05:24):
Petition alleges that Iris Rawley quote has been caught on
bodycam multiple times harassing police officers for just doing their jobs.
As of yesterday morning, already twenty nine hundred signatures their
goal five thousand signatures. You can help out sign the
petition court a petition despite clear misconduct, the city continues
(05:47):
to fund her contract with taxpayer dollars. And it's so far.
I got to interject, insofar as misconduct is concerned, if
you or I interfered with an officer doing his or
her job, don't you think we will be subject to
some sort of citation, maybe get arrested. Can you imagine
the police interacting with Iris Raleigh, who perhaps was worthy
(06:09):
of a citation for her interference with police doing their
duty imagine it's a bit difficult for a police officer
to actually consider issuing her a citation, considering her outspoken advocacy,
her connection with elected officials, including the mayor's office and
the city manager she's employed by them, and her outspoking
(06:30):
advocacy against the police department generally speaking. H Yeah, I'm
sure she'd call for an investigation into you, police officer
for issuing her a citation that she may have been
worthy of getting anyway. On the petition, the Fraternal Order
Police posted a couple of body camera videos showing Raleigh
(06:51):
harassing cops allegedly. They also posted an appearance Raleigh made
on podcasts where she quote, wasted no time berating a
retire I heard Cincinnati police officer and others on the
show close quote that's on the petition website. FOP also
posted the videos on the organization's Facebook page, one post
(07:12):
claiming Raleigh is not a collaborator, instead calling her an agitator.
We entered the realm of subjectivity. Uh thank you, Molly
Shram the CPO for reporting Friday Rally responded to petition
and claims the harassment with statements from her attorney. Actually
(07:33):
one of the body came ravi is she asked the
man who's being asked at the time by a Sinceinn
police officer to pour out his beer if he'd liked
to file a complaint against the officer. Huh, right then
and there while he's the officer is doing his job
or her job anyway, the attorney said. Video circulated by
the FOP members and a recent called to we assign
a petition have targeted Miss Rawleigh for encouraging a community
(07:57):
member to follow follow a formal complain procedures and questioning
an officer's response, which have long been part of her
community centered approach to better policing in this city and
are within her rights to free speech and advocacy outside
her formal service for the city. Oh, she wasn't acting
in her capacity as an advisor to the city when
she was doing this.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Humph huh.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But it is consistent with and does flow from her
position relative to the Cincinnati Police Department in her role
as some sort of consultant for the city. The statement
from her attorney also says that her decades long role
in Cincinnati has, in their words or his or her words,
always involved evaluating police conduct and supporting community voices about
(08:43):
policing in the city. Statement also says the fop's allegations
have led to hate messages and threats to rally her
family and business. We'll join the club. Yeah, that street
runs more than one way. How many conservatives out there
(09:06):
have received hate messages and threats? A lot of them.
Welcome to social media, Welcome to you know, your outspoken
advocacy against the police department having some repercussions among those
of us who do support law enforcement. Apparently been a
consultant with the City Managers Office since twenty twenty two.
(09:31):
Guess she does work helping Cincinnati implement its Collaborative Agreement,
which goes all the way back to the riots in
two thousand and one. If I recall correctly, She was
one of the organizers in bringing about the collaborative agreement.
Also described as a prominent longtime organizer with the Cincinnati
(09:51):
Black United Front. Telling the popular People's You Front Joe
campaign Free Galilee Anyway. Molly shram Over at CBO described
that as a social justice collective. Enjoy your own conclusions.
(10:13):
For her part, since they manager share a long in
responsible way. A request from WCPO for a statement describe
her as an essential community and civic leader in Cincinnati. Essential.
Her contributions spanned from origins of the Collaborative Agreement to
her commitment to problem solving resulting in support for teens
at our transit center. She consistently sets up organized steps
(10:36):
up to organize effective strategies and raises her hand to
support the community when others don't. However, in spite of
her praise for Irish Rowle, a city manager, Long had
this to say, anyone doing work on behalf of the
city of Cincinnati must hold themselves to a higher standard.
That includes not interfering with the police who are in
(10:58):
the act of performing their lawful duties. Can't let that
go unaddressed, Sharyl Long, Canyon right, because it's the one
thing in your statement that really makes sense. Don't mess
around with police during their duties five sixteen fifty five

run for counsel? Maybe he's not decided yet. We had
a pretty definitive confirmation yesterday. We'll see what he has

marks regarding the candidacy of Christopher Smith. Aman anyway, demonstrably

I think you've be a welcome edition five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three
talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone. What
else is going on in the Greater CINCINNTI area? Well,
the Hamilton County Associated Association of Chiefs of Police chiming
in on one of the problems we've identified here in
this city, which is the judicial component of the criminal
(12:21):
justice system. If you don't have judges willing to set
appropriate bonds, put people in jail for appropriate periods of
times for heinous crimes, they have committed recidivist criminals coming
in and going through the revolving door of the criminal
justice system. You get the best police department, fully staffed
out in the world. You could have the best prosecutor's office.
You whether we've got one of those, you can draw
(12:44):
your own conclusions. But prosecutors wanting to prosecute criminals to
the fullest extent of the law end up in front
of some liberal, woke judge and that's the end of
the process. So that's an epic failure. As far as
the Hamilton County Association of Chiefs Police, they're calling out
what they describe as gaps in the judicial process. Statement
(13:04):
released last week August eighth, they said it's not good
enough to arrest violent offenders if they're swiftly released back
into our neighborhoods due to lacks bail practices or insufficient
sentencing amen. They announced they will be hosting a roundtable
discussion within the next month with members of the judiciary, prosecutors,
elected officials, and other partners about ways to strengthen public safety.
(13:27):
Good Camera Knight since they inquire reporting, appreciated Cameron pointing
out criticism of the judges not new before. Connie Pilich
elected the Prosecutor's office. Formerly the Prosecutor's Office would post
the cases and judges on Facebook, pointing out well the
sentences and while highlighting judges who set bonds that they
(13:50):
believe were too lower lenient. Joe Dieters and Melissa Powers
both did this, In other words, real time accurate reporting
information so we the public could make informed decisions when
we go into the ballot box in November. They don't
do that anymore. Police data and going back to Steve
(14:14):
Gooden on this post about fifty to sixty shots fired
to pointed out no arrest and not in any police statistics.
So if you have an incident involving fifty to sisity
sixty shots fired and it's not reported on any of
the police statistics, how reliable are the police data? Is
the police data anyway? Caver Knight reporting the police data
shows rates as some crimes are up, others have fallen.
(14:37):
Robberies are up nine percent year to date, three more
homicides year to date, however, aggravated assault down six percent
and shootings are down twenty four percent. H do you
feel safe in downtown Cincinnati? Chief? Fiji Police Chief Dji
recently echoed the remarks of the Chiefs Association saying, part
(14:58):
of the problem is, Yeah, that's the revolving door of justice.
Claim your office too often put themselves at risk to
get criminals off the street, to see them released with
little consequence. How are we going to get the word
out about judges? I mean, you can rely on the
fifty five Caurasy Morning Show to the extent I have
information about who's running and who's not running. I know
(15:20):
how difficult it is if you're not engaged in the
criminal justice system to have any awareness about the leanings
of the judges and whether heart or whether they're tough
on crime or soft on crime. Anyway, Chiefs Association set
the goal of the upcoming roundtable to review the impact
of current bail reform policies promoting consistent sentencing and building
(15:42):
transparency and public confidence in the judicial system. That's a
high mark. Let's be clear, they wrote, we will not
allow the dedication and sacrifice of our law enforcement professionals
to be rendered meaningless by systemic failures or the absence
of shared responsibility. Well, one can only hope they can
(16:03):
bear that their efforts can bear some fruit. If you're
a woke jurist. I'm not sure pressure from law enforcement
really change the hearts in or your heart and mind.
It remains to be seen, but therein lies one of
the biggest challenges we face. Sounds like law enforcements stepping up.
We've got some pronouncements from the mayor and the city
council members in the aftermath of that June or July
(16:25):
twenty sixth beat down. Sounds like they're promising to get
tough on crime, paying lip service to the idea anyway.
They have no control over the judiciary. Honestly, neither does
this group that are putting together, This group of folks
that are the haven't kind of association of chief of
police is putting together the harumph over this subject matter.
(16:47):
The judges aren't willing to heed your advice and your recommendations.
It's all probably an exercise and wheel spinning. Five twenty

It's always a pleasure hearing from you.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Good warnings.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
You have a good weekend?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Uh, yeah, I actually did.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Yeah, that's good. I don't think i've yeah to hear
you say you had a bad weekend. Weekends are good
just by definition, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yes? They are because I can sleep in and for
no other reason, and maybe I didn't do anything, but
I did get to sleep in, which I dearly love.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
So right, Well, yeah, well sleep sleeping in for you
is uh, it doesn't mean it's it's getting up bet
later or something. So you got pretty early.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Paul that'll get up at like six o'clock in the
morning on Saturday because the dog insists, and she is
kind enough to not involve me in that process. So
I get to STARp, stay in bed and do the
nom nom nom nam thing. I think about getting up,
and usually it's like eight o'clock, maybe eight thirty before
actually crawling a bed on.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
Oh that's sleeping man, you're yeah, that's usually your show's
about over and you're you're just getting up. That's awesome,
It is so good for you.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
I can't.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I can't do that anymore. I can't sleep in that late.
So I'm if I'm still in bed by seven o'clock,
that's a miracle. So I just can't later. So anyway,
this whole thing with the you were just talking about
with the judges and stuff, and and all this hand
ringing by the left of of everything that's wrong with society,
(18:54):
and one of the biggest things they screamed about, and
they happened for a while is racism. And I really
think that what should happen is is that a bunch
of the black community leaders should get together and acknowledge
the fact, the fact Brian Thomas that racism is not
going on near to the extent as they claim it is.
(19:17):
But of course if they do that, then that means
they get rid of all the fuel and all the
alleged wind behind their sales of scream and bloody murder
and how bad everybody is. You know something I found
interesting There was a allegedly there was a video clip
that came out about that July twenty sixth feet down
(19:37):
that you reference, and it was allegedly had somebody yelling
or some people yelling the N word, and I didn't
hear any more about it. I don't know if you
brought this up, but obviously they could not link that
whatever was being said to a white person. Therefore it
just doesn't exist anymore. I guess does it really matter
(19:58):
if I hear anybody anybody else complain about the use
of the end word, anyone from the black community complain
about the use of the end word. I'm so fed
up with that the black community. And of course this
is not every black person, so relax if you're out
every black person feels this way. But enough black people
(20:19):
out there are fine with it, and their music, they're
fine with it when they're talking amongst themselves. But as
soon as someone who's too white uses that word, apparently
it's the end of the world. I don't use the word.
I don't know if I've ever used it. I'm not
going to. I agree it's derogatory, shouldn't be used, and
(20:40):
I don't want to get myself in that kind of trouble.
But come on, the hypocrisy is absolutely ridiculous and all that.
And that's just one example of how the left uses
things to their benefit that that aren't even true. They
lie just to try to get their way and push
things around.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I appreciate it. Tom. Yeah, I hear different reactions in
terms of the use of the ND word, particularly in music.
I mean, it's pervasive in music. If you listen to music,
it's there, it is. And yeah, i've heard commentators. Black
commentators know white people are not allowed to sing along
or use that word in any context whatsoever. In spite
(21:22):
of the fact you can find the use of that
word all over the place, and you know, hip hop
and rap and other you know, musical forms. It's ownership's claim.
The black community owns the word. No one else is
allowed it's exclusive use. I noticed that they've actually, I suppose,
in some way, shape or form, sort of transformed that
word from a derogatory term whites used against black people,
(21:45):
and it's acceptable to use under certain circumstances in the
black community, never acceptable in the white community. Just rather
interesting social reality that one can't comment on the brawl.
Don't know who used the word or even if it
was used. Here is a strange, strange local story here
(22:09):
pedestrian dead after a crash happened on Friday night near Dayton.
Pedestrian was trying to get away from a couple of dogs.
According to the high State Highway Patrol troopers, they said
they were called a nine thirty am for a crash
on Lower Valley Pike near Cloverdale Road, Clark County. Plimentary
investigation shows that Donel Sanning, who's thirty five from New Carlisle,
(22:31):
driving her Chevy Cruise on Lower Valley Pike.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
The pedestrian Jason Kappanera, forty six years old from Yonkers,
New York, walking northeast on the shoulder of the road
when the two dogs from a nearby house ran across
the street, jumping on to the pedestrian trippers say he
then tried to escape toward the road and was hit
(22:56):
along with one of the dogs by the Chevy to
Mercy Health in Nan, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Troopers report of the dogs sustained minor injuries. The Chevy
drivers that stayed at the scene and had no injuries.
They're still investigating the crash. Jeez, dogs chase them out
in the street. That's the end. Say call your mom,
(23:20):
tell your loved ones you love them. Be sure you
do that. You never know, never know when the bell's

Fame Fred, Welcome back to the fifty five carssee morning show,
my friend. Good to hear for you today.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Hey.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Let me start off. I gave you some more praise
my best friend. I went to UC to get his
frost State image and they gave him I think that's
it over nine thousand. So he went to your place.
I told him, he said, she uh. They came right
up until he paid less than a thousand dollars affordable
(24:20):
image phrase on that first. You know, you know, I
hate starting out doing this.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
No, you're listen. You helped a friend save a heaplow
of money. Fred. I mean, I'm happy to spread the
news about it. That's one of the reasons I'm so
proud to be able to sponsor him, because I love
to save that kind of money and I love being
It's like recommending something to a friend. I get to
do it, and I'm it's a paid sponsor, but you know,
it makes me please to do that. And I'm happy
you saved six grand. I'm happy your friends save what
(24:47):
sounds like eight thousand dollars. That's real money, man.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
Man, Okay. In the second thing, you know, and this
is the last time I called about race or anything
like this, but I just want people to know that.
You know, I'm an older black man and I have
older black friends and all different friends. But anyway, we
do think independently. We don't follow our sharpening. We don't
(25:14):
follow the NAACP. We know they're watching the TV looking
for something to happen, to pop out of the shadows.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
We already know.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
This, and we just don't. We just want people to
know and understand. Listen, every time you come saying what
black people should do is upsets us because you you
locked us in a.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Small group of people.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
And I just want people to understand that, Look.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
We think independently.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
It's just a few of us, very few.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
That you see out there, because I'm sure that people
work with a whole lot of other you know, black
or asking every way you want.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
To be called.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
That don't have the same fault as everybody else. And
I just want people to say, look, don't paint with
a broad brush, you know, get a smaller brush, you please,
I don't group us, what's everybody else? And I appreciate
you man, and you have a great date.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Thanks Fred. I appreciate your statement. And I don't know.
I mean, I've tried to be consistent in my attitude
toward painting with a broadbrush, and I don't abide by that.
And I share Fred's observations. I don't believe anyone in
the black communities let's monolithic, all one size fits all lockstep.
But isn't an interesting observation on the heels of Fred's
comment that we're in the middle of this jerry mandering
(26:26):
debate and that they are so convinced, are political officials
they're so convinced by drawing a different line they can
guarantee an outcome on whether it's going to be a
Republican or Democrat victory. I don't say they guarantee that outcome,
but it's a foregone conclusion, which meaning, which means those
elected officials who are busily redrawing maps are taken into
(26:49):
account the historic reality that, in spite of Fred's comments
that there is this sort of lockstep, unanimous well Democrat
vote that comes from within the Black community, they know
by redrawing the lines that they're going to guarantee whether
it's going to be a Republican or Democrat in office.
(27:09):
It's frightening stuff. Would it be a wild thing if,
after they get done redrawing the maps, that the public,
who ultimately votes independent of mind, decides to go a
different direction and deprives whichever political parties redrawing the lines
of their guaranteed victory. Huh, that would be cool, wouldn't it.
(27:30):
It'd be cool if it was either Republican or Democrat
redistricting anyway over the sack and stupid got a man
in Texas accused of approaching young girls in an elementary
school parking lot wearing only a diaper and pacifier around
his neck. Why are you doing that? You may have
an order to give out this morning, Joe. According to
police report, two girls riding bikes and scooters to the
(27:51):
neighborhood when they notice the silver vehicle following them, stopping.
When they stopped on the way home, they notice forty
five year old Wesley Warrels in the vehicle the parking
lot of the Andywoods Elementary School. Cord to the affidavit,
World then got out, wearing only a diaper, shouted quote,
Goo goo gaga, I need a diaper change. Close quote
(28:13):
there's no flag for us. Girls rode away, quickly approaching
their family home, where a man and his son were
working in the garage. Man said the girls rode up
so fast they skinned their knees, claiming a scary man
their words, was chasing them, so I went searching for
the vehicle described while the vehicle they described while a
woman in the home attempted to calm the girls, who
were visibly shaking and truly terrified. According to the rest
(28:37):
report details. Girls then told her the man had asked
the girls, will you change my diaper for me? What? Thus,
Gater's labeled to identify Worl as the suspect and arrested
them in his place of work. Arrested charge with criminal
solicitation of a minor, criminal trespass, in addition to several
other charges and accusations going all the way back to
nineteen ninety nine, back when he was seen watching children
(28:57):
in the daycare. When questioned by tyle of police back
in ninety nine, he reported he was only changing his
diaper here that looney, amen Joe. Fast forward to twenty
two two thousand and two, were el seen looking into
apartment windows. Questioned by police, he admitted to watching small
children in a daycare. Two thousand and five, arrested for
(29:18):
stalking his ex girlfriend, sentenced to five years probation. Also
two thousand and five, caught watching a woman near a pool,
given a criminal trespass warning November of that year, given
a criminal trespass warning after being seen watching children from
behind a tree and six six reported walking around Walmart
on Broadway looking at children and women with his hands
(29:40):
inside his shorts. Draw your own conclusions. When questioned by police,
he was said he was checking to see if he
had soiled his diaper, would.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Get deliberate penalties, so we could get into the penalty
box all by himself.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Prosecuted for November five and six July cases, sentenced to
seven years in prison. Twenty twelve, police received word that
he whorl had exposed himself to a child at a
Walmart troop Highway World and that died exposing himself. Admitted
to showing his diaper, given another criminal trustpass warning for
that one. Arrested in October twenty sixteen for criminal trespass
(30:15):
in July twenty five, caught on surveillance going to Walmart
on several different dates. Walmart's manager expressed a desire to
pursue criminal charges. Wow Goo go Gaga, I need a
diaper change series. The biggest douche of the universe, in

Welcome back, Good morning, Brian, Come in peace, love everybody,
and there's nothing you can.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Do about it. Like your message, James, what's on your
mind today? My friend?
Speaker 9 (31:27):
You know, well, you know I believe will spiritual beings
going through human experience and looking at racism. To me,
it's not necessarily a hate thing. It was a supreme thing.
You know that one race is more supreme than the
(31:48):
other one.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, and when you look.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
At that, you say, okay, that turns can turn into
hate if one person think they are supreme and the
one that think they are supreme. I've heard him say that.
You know, there was a manifesto from God.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
That they be over this of the group sounds like
the Nazis.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Hey whoever, it is a human experience as we go
through it now right now here local and we realized
this been Oh that was terrible what happened down at
the fight, the lady getting hit, the guys getting jumped on,
but we're not looking at who started it. You know,
(32:31):
you've had six black people's arrested for joining in on
the fight. But then the one that started to fight,
and I'm here before the slap came that they're that
same guy tried to kick another male. Somebody got in
between them, tried to de escalate it, say go on,
(32:52):
leave it alone, all right, Well this same guy went
and slapped found another black guy to slap. So that's
two incident that I'm hearing that this guy had calls,
but yet he still haven't been arrested for assault whatever
the reason question says lawyer say, you can't even talk
(33:12):
to him, and I'm like, okay, we're going to the lawyer.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
You get the position to stop.
Speaker 9 (33:17):
The police from issuing an assault arrest.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Well, we could assert as fifth moment right to be
free of self incrimination, I suppose with an interview if
he's gout who's lawyered up. It doesn't mean he's not
going to get charged, but I mean your predicate in
your initial statement is I'm hearing I'm here, and I
am hearing similar things, but I'm also hearing things that
run counter to what you're hearing, which results in me
(33:42):
concluding that I don't have all the fact yet. In
spite of this, it's been since the twenty sixth, the
last month, so more video camera comes out. We've got
grand jury indictments being handed down. Obviously they found probable
cause to charge some with the crimes. Let's see if
anybody else gets gets arrested or accused of criminal conduct.
I'm waiting. I got my popcorn out, James. I haven't
(34:04):
put it away, and I haven't drawn any conclusions yet,
but nothing can justify criminal behavior along the lines of
what we see, regardless of who gets blamed for starting
the incident or kicking off the incident. Back go to
stacker stupid. This is a pretty comical one in spite
of the fact that we resulted in two people dad,
(34:24):
a man and a woman are in fact dad after
a car they were believed to be having sex in
fell off a cliff. Pair identified as twenty six year
old Marconi da Silva Cardozo and forty two year old
Adriana Mocado Raberio. We're in Vandanova do Immigrante. This is
(34:46):
in Brazil. Happened on Monday last when they were parked
near a scenic overlook. According to the article, apparent movement
from an intimate moment in their vehicles caused it to
drop hundreds of feet. Cardos and Roberio headed towards the
area where the ground was wet after leaving a party
(35:07):
freezing in the car fell down a hang gliding ramp
vehicle located late in the morning by local caretaker. Man
and a woman found naked in the vehicle. Courting Lydia
The Sun reported the police that leave the vehicle fell
around one o'clock in the morning local time. The man
and the woman were thrown roughly three hundred and twenty
eight feet. Bodies found the base of a rock. You're right, Joe,
(35:31):
roughly three hundred and twenty eight does sound very specific.
Pairs bodies found on the base of a rock. Vehicle
parts scattered all around the nearby vegucatation corner of the
press release, there were no signs of violence at the
scene on the bodies and the car's handbrake was engaged.
(35:52):
They said. Residents reported hearing a loud noise between one
thirty in the morning and two am. Because it was
dark and the vegetation thick, no one saw anything at
the time. It remains under investigation. The case does waiting
for forensic reports. Photographs show the vehicle destroyed after a
plunge several hundred feet off the cliff. One woman witness
I saw the car's engine very far away and the
(36:14):
car fell almost four hundred and fifty feet from the
accident was a shocking scene. The car was destroyed.

information that matters to me. Fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
It's here at fifty five KR SEV talk station. Brian
Thomas wishing everyone a very happy Monday. Hope you had
a wonderful weekend and you can feel free to call
as always five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three Taco fifty if you're
on an AT and T phone. Coming up up on
the fifty five KRSE Morning Show, Fast forward one hour.
Ken Cober FLP president, got a petition to get rid
of Iris Rawley. Yeah, outspoken anti police activist Iris RAWLEI
(37:13):
coming under some serious criticism and justified interfering with police
officers trying to perform their duties, which I think is
a citable offense. Going to ask that from FLP president
directly out of the gate, like, how come she was
an issue to citation if she's interfering with police officers.
Legitimate question. So Ken on that topic coming up in
an hour, followed by Christopher's Nope, maybe just asking out
(37:36):
loud if it's a good idea. I think it's a
great idea. When he's got a record he can run
on former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, obviously
here on the morning show, regularly, all over media, regularly
with his thoughts and comments, expressing logic and reason and
coming up with solutions for some of the Cincinnati's problems.
So vote Smithman is what I say. Well here from
(37:57):
Christopher at seven twenty let me at corner them on
the day. So different little birds passing along different information.
I just know I was left out of the loop. Monday, Monday,
Brian James, eighth five, we'll talk tariffs and inflation. We'll
talk about whether or not you want crypto in your
four to oh one k and finally, some interesting new
(38:19):
benefits companies are offering that with Brian James. Fast forward
to eight thirty Emory Federal Credit Union golf founding. We'll
hear from Todd Kine from Emory on that great organization,
a great event helping out sint Children's Hospital Charitable Care
Fund Care see Cares we do. Cincinnti VA love helping
(38:39):
out the American veteran sincinnti VA joins us to give
us a recap of the VA Country Music Fest and
the upcoming August twenty third Veteran Appreciation Day. Again, feel
free to call here's an interesting solution and tell me
if you think this is a good idea. Obviously, the
City of Cincinnati decided it's going to start enforcing the
(39:00):
few one of the things that comes out of the
August or the July twenty sixth beatdown that happened in
downtown Cincinnati, and many of my listeners recognize and I
acknowledge the juveniles were not a problem. They the juveniles
were not involved at least don't appear to be involved
in the beatdown. But they did nonetheless change the curfew
and said that the same police will now be enforcing
(39:21):
it to some degree. Well, that's solve the problem. How
about this? Is this a good idea? Uh? We get
a Gloucester township in New Jersey, They just recently enacted
an ordinance holding parents accountable for lawbreaking children. Parents now
facing fines up to two thousand dollars in the possibility
(39:43):
of a ninety day term behind bars if their children
are continually misbehaving.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Accord to the article from New Jersey dot Com, the
ordinance includes twenty eight offenses that could make caretakers liable.
They range from felonies, loitering, break curfew, chronic truancy to immorality,
habitual vagrancy, and knowingly associating with immoral people. Okay, I
got a beg question marks swirling about what constitutes an
(40:12):
immoral person under the law anyway. The report said teenagers
and juveniles in the area have been committing variety of
these offenses. The town's twenty twenty four Gloucester Township Day
upended when over five hundred miners were involved in a
brawl spilling over to a shopping plaza. Police arrested nineteenagers,
among eleven others taken into custody. Three officers were hurt
(40:32):
in that melee. Video footy shows a group of young
people throwing objects at the front of businesses. Officials postponed
the event this year because of social media posts indicating
that that was going to happen again this year, So
the police announced this new ordinance in a social media post.
If a child is reportedly found guilty in juvenile court,
(40:54):
their caretaker could face up the ninety days in prison
and or fine of up to two thousand dollars. Ordinance
takes effects immediately. One person quota, these are your children.
Had you governed them a certain way, this ordinance wouldn't
be necessary. As a parent, I think it's absolutely necessary. Yeah,
(41:16):
So is that a solution to the problem holding parents accountable?
Speaker 12 (41:19):
You know?
Speaker 3 (41:20):
And I think about that you want to hold your
parents criminally accountable for what their children are doing. Maybe
a difficult leap. But if these are minor children who
are out after hours of violating the law on the books,
which is the curfew law, wouldn't you think? I mean,
if involved an infant child or abuse along those lines,
the Department of Child and Family Services to be called in.
(41:41):
Is it too late when the child's a teenager to
call in that group to find out what's going on
at home? Maybe lack of a sufficient parenting I don't know,
but it certainly would make parents who otherwise don't care
about where their children are at night maybe start thinking
about it. I don't want a two thousand dollars fine
(42:02):
and I don't want to go to jail for up
to ninety days. Yeah. Well, actions have consequences, or in
action at least in New Jersey are going to have consequences.
Gloucester Township specifically five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three dog pound five
fifty on AT and T phones and also another thing
(42:23):
you might want to chime in on, Donald Trump considering
reclassifying marijuana under the Federal Drug scheduling hmmm, described as
maybe reclassified as a less dangerous drug speaking with attendees
at his one million dollar played fundraiser in New Jersey,
many of whom were in the weed industry. H Apparently
(42:52):
the cannabis companies have pumped in millions of dollars into
Donald Trump's political groups and political action committees of quart
of it. Maybe that's the reason behind this potential moved
to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule one controlled substances.
Making it a Schedule three drug will make it a
lot easier to buy and sell cannabis. Also been several
(43:13):
bills introduced by in Congress by Democrats and Republicans bipartisanship
to either lower the classification of weed to a Schedule
three drug or remove it completely from the list of
controlled substances. They've also sought to decriminalize marijuana. Forty states
so far have legalized marijuana. Twenty four states plus Washington,
d C. Have also legalized recreational marijuana, as we have
(43:33):
done here in the state of Ohio. Now, more and
more information research is coming out with the decriminalizing it
in states, and we're finding out that marijuana may not
be as innocuous a drug as they've painted it out
to be. So you hit all the propaganda coming out
about medical marijuana, medical medical medical medical marijuana. Well, we'll
just legalize it for medical use. You'll need a prescription
(43:55):
for that. It's great for certain medical conditions, anxiety or
depression or whatever, and so you legitimize it by rolling
it out as a medical product, and then of course
segue over to full legalization. Again. That worked quite well
here in the state of Ohio. But more and more
people smoking weed, the more and more we find out
yew could be very dangerous, most notably to young, developing minds.
(44:18):
This is why parents need to keep an eye on
their children and what they're getting involved with. They've learned
a lot about this with alcohol use over the years. Yes,
in a developing mind, alcohol is very dangerous, so pivot
over to marijuana. Apparently the same thing. Psychosis can develop,
among other problems. So I don't know whether decriminalizing on
(44:39):
a federal level is an effort worth pursuing or what
the end result is going to be. I think the
genies out of the bottle, as noted by the number
of states who provided some form of legalization, complete decriminalization.
So if the genies out of the bottle, maybe get
rid of the Schedule one classification and in so doing,
the one nice benefit that you and I can enjoy
from that is more research will be done. The fact
(45:01):
that it's labeled to Schedule one drug, which makes it
on the same order or degree as heroin. Yeah, that
limits the amount of research you'll be done because researchers
can't get acquire this readily available product to do studies
on it. So more studies are definitely needed along those lines.
And maybe I'll welcome the change in schedules, if for
no other reason but that one right there, Feel free

We'll start with Brian. Brian, welcome to the show. Thanks
for calling me this morning.
Speaker 12 (47:04):
Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Monday.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
Right back at you, brother.
Speaker 12 (47:09):
Yeah yeah. Places like New Jersey Democrats strongholds, they make
laws like this and it just makes me chuckle. So,
so my child decides to transition, get an abortion, go
on birth control, or you're gonna teach them something I
don't like. You're not telling me a thing, But when
my child acts up, you want to hold me accountable.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
Well, I suppose you might be to link those concepts.
Speaker 12 (47:36):
Well, if you're not gonna tell me my child the
school's gonna hide from me, to my child's gonna wants
to transition, well, and you're supporting that, but you're not
gonna tell me you're hiding it from me. But then
if my child does something wrong and you want me
to be held accountable, I mean, you can't have it
both ways, it's either I'm involved in my child's.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Life or I'm not well. One is a crime and
the other one arguably isn't. Although I guess there's a
debate on whether transitioning could be considered criminal, but you know,
I guess the left use that as a lifestyle choice.
There's nothing, no law in the books that prevents that
transitioning from happening. But there are criminal laws on the books,
and children are regularly breaking the criminal laws. And if
(48:19):
you're made aware that your child is a recidivous lawbreaker
and you do nothing to stop it from happening, you
do nothing to keep them in the house after curfew
rolls around, and maybe there is some possible accountability there
for violating criminal law. I understand your frustration on along
those lines, and the allowing of children to make these
life changing decisions without any parental involvement as disturbing as hell.
(48:42):
But honestly, if a parent does not care if the
child's out at three o'clock in the morning on a weeknight,
then I doubt they probably care a wit whether their
child is transitioning to a different gender. Possible, let us
see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, Happy Monday till you.
Thanks for calling.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
Good morning, my brother Monday to you, I said, it
was another ratty tat weekend we had in Cincinnati. Fifty
some shots fired.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah, Steve Gooden posting that you wouldn't know it from
local media reporting because apparently no reporting on that. Fifty
shots fired along Clark Street by the football field, hitting
park cars in at least one house. So he said,
automatic gunfire.
Speaker 4 (49:23):
Well, when you hold thirty round bags in those sem
sixty two but thirty nine hand held pistols they got,
they can fire off a lot of them pretty quick.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah. Can't you empty a thirty round bag in a
matter of just a couple of seconds?
Speaker 4 (49:34):
Bobby, That doesn't take very long, my friend, as quick
as you can pull the trigger.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Not. Is that not very accurate though? Spray and pray.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
No, that's all it is. I'll tell you what. Until
they correct the problem, the problem's not gonna get corrected.
The problem making it at the top. The problem being
correct the violence in Cincinnati. It's in the top five
most violent cities per capit.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
Okay, but how do we fix the problem of violence?
I mean, you know, I understand taking steps toward holding
people accountable, like, for example, the New York New Jersey
law which is in an effect here, but enforcing curfew,
for example, gets kids off of the streets where they're
up to no good fine, but the motive behind the
criminal behavior this lawless attitude. People have, this disregard for
(50:23):
the law generally speaking. That's a problem that's so broad
and has so many layers and elements behind it. How
do you fix that?
Speaker 4 (50:32):
You have to run it like an insurgency. You cannot
be nice. You have to run it like you would
a military operation. You got to find out who the
people are, where they're at, where they're going. It's easy
to do, but the city's not going to do it
because they're part of the problem. Well, going back, going
to advertise their problem, Well you say, I guarantee you
(50:52):
I got people correct the problem real quick without anything negative,
all positive investigating. But you gotta know who these people are.
Speaker 3 (51:02):
And if you.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
Eliminate a promise one you don't have get them out
of your community. Right. They don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
You say, identify who these people are, or around up
who these people are, and you say that, they claim
they know if someone has an outstanding arrest warrant and
a police officer knows where that person is, yes, they
should be out arresting that person. But if a person
does not have an a restaurant. I made this point
the other day. You give a rap sheet a mile
long if you have served your time or otherwise complied
(51:28):
with whatever a judicial rendering is or disposition is. In
that case, you're in front of a judge. The judge said,
you're on probation. You're on probation, you keep your nose clean,
you're no longer on probation. That is on your quote
unquote rap sheet. That doesn't give police the authority to
pick you up for just being having a rap sheet
that's long. Quite often you have recidivous criminals who end
(51:49):
up in front of a judge on multiple occasions. You're
sitting there going, well, how in the hell is this
person not in jail. Well, it's because due process hasn't
been worked through the system. They haven't had their day
in trial, they haven't had their witnesses show up or
be in front of a jury or a judge the
try or fact to render a conclusion. They're not guilty
at that moment in time. It's very complicated matter with it.
Speaker 4 (52:10):
I agree with you, but you need to know who
they are and where they're at and everything else. And
it's easy to do. But the city can't do that.
They're legally not allowed to do it.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
Right.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
You pop a spider in a six block area and
I'll tell you every human being it has a cell
phone in that area, and you can track them every
seven and a half fifteen minutes, know where they go,
where they're at, and where they've been. Well, it's all legal.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
How would you feel if you were one of the
people being tracked? You say, Bobby would be like, wait
a second, I don't have a criminal record. Why am
I under surveillance? Well, we've been tracking you because oh
I don't know the comments you meant in the fifty
five krs in morning show or something. I mean, what
gives them the right to see a quote unquote track
or otherwise round someone up? What is the legal predicate
(52:55):
for that? That's what I want to know the city.
Speaker 4 (52:59):
The city doesn't have the right to do that. But
independent people do you pop a spider. I don't know
your name, I don't know your phone number. You've got
a customer number, and I know exactly where you go,
how long you've been there. Anytime I want to set
it up on a computer, I know exactly where that
phone's at, and that way I know where you're at. Well,
(53:21):
you have a name on it or a phone number,
but I do have a tracking number.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
I'm at a loss to know how that what good
that's going to possibly do?
Speaker 4 (53:32):
In seventy two hours, I can tell you who the
criminals are, where they're at, and where they're.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
Going the criminals suggesting that a crime has been perpetrated
by one of these unnamed, unknown individuals that you're tracking
generally throughout the day every day. Sorry, Bobby, You're I
just I can't make heads or tails out of what
you're really proposing here. Sorry, man, If you know.
Speaker 4 (53:54):
Where, if you know where the people are, you know
exactly what they're going to do. What people the people criminals?
Speaker 3 (54:01):
The criminals, Well, again, that suggests that they are they
have committed a crime, or that a warrant is out,
or that you know that that particular person there's probable
cause to believe they should be picked up for creative
for committing a crime. And if that exists, then the
police should do it. But in the absence of underlying
criminal activity or allegations of it, they can be justified
(54:22):
for the warrant i e. Probable cause. Then you've got
no right or ability to pick them up, regardless of
what's in their background. Six twenty seven fifty five k

Speaker 7 (55:57):
Oh, good morning, bye.
Speaker 4 (55:58):
Hey.
Speaker 13 (55:58):
I had a question about Brad Windstrip the other day.
Speaker 7 (56:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (56:03):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (56:03):
He said they had information that the Russia Russia Russia
uh was a hoax. Yes, and they had an in Congress,
but then it was classified. Well Mike, uh, yeah, Donald
Trump has the power to declassify stuff, did he go
to Donald Trump and said, hey, we have information that
(56:23):
will exonerate you.
Speaker 7 (56:25):
Yes, but it's classified. You have to declassify it.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
It's been declassified. That's how he was able to talk
about it. He wasn't previously able to talk about it,
but now that it has been declassified, it's out there
for all to read. Twenty eighteen, I believe was the
year that was released.
Speaker 13 (56:39):
So yeah, did he go to Trump and then Trump
could have declassified it right then and then and then
got all this out in the open.
Speaker 3 (56:48):
Well it has been and it is all this information
is widely reported. I mean for media outlets that actually
reporting on it. Yeah, it looks terrible in terms of
those that engage in this this collusion again Trump and
his administration. So yeah, I mean it's out there for
all to read. It's pretty damning information too, and it's
been referred to a grand jury for potential indictment, so
(57:10):
keep your popcorn out on that. But yeah, it's out
there again, That's how he was able to talk about it.
This is a truly bizarre local story Clark County up
by Dayton. One pedestrian dead. It had crashed your cart
on Friday night. The guy was trying to run away
from some dogs that were going After recording of the
high State Highway Patrol, they were called nine pm nine
(57:31):
thirty pm for a crash on a Lower Valley Pike
and plumbing. An investigation shows dun El Sanning, who's thirty
five from New Carlisle, driving around her twenty fourteen Chevy
Cruise on Lower Valley Pike. Jason Coperna, who was a
pedestrian forty six, he was from Yonkers, New York, was
walking northeast on the shoulder of the same road when
(57:51):
the two dogs from a nearby house ran across the
street and jumped onto the pedestrian. He tried to escape
by running toward the road and was hit by the
Chevy Cruise, taking a mercy Health and Anna and he's
come to his injury, so he's no longer with us.
The dogs sustained minor injuries. The Chevy driver was not injured,
(58:13):
but did stay at the scene of the crash, which
is still being investigated. Freak accident let us see here.
Driver accused of shooting multiple times in another vehicle Monday
night in Claremont County intersection now facing more charges, including
attempted murder. This according to the Climont County Grand Jury.
This was last Monday. Miles Phillip Pop, thirty five, indicted
this past Thursday, in addition to attempted murder and Flonius
(58:36):
assault charges, now facing a discharge of a firearm charge.
Jail record show he's still held in the Clarmont County
Joe on a five hundred thousand dollars cast shirty bond.
That's Claremont County Joe for the Flonias assault charge, plus
a quarter of a million cast last personal recognizance bonds
for the attempted murder charge. About seven forty pm Monday,
(58:58):
deputies called the East Plain Street and Startling Road report
of a person with a weapon. Deputies respond to the
area immediately. Victim, according to Clemont County Sheriff's Office, said
they tried to pass Pop's vehicle to create a distance
when he heard three pops and felt something hit him
in the neck and face area. Office sheriff said. The
(59:18):
victim realized the impact they felt was from shattered glass
from the rear view mirror hit by an unknown object.
The victim not injured, thankfully. Police later apprehend and Pop
on Locust Road he admitted to firing one gun shot
from his vehicle. Search Pop's vehicle also led to a
loaded gun being found in the glovebox Man five point
(59:40):
thirty six fifty five KRC the talk station Affordable Medical
Imaging heard earlier Fred Fred saved six grand by going
to affordable medical imaging, and he referred his buddy, who
was going to be facing what was it an eight
thousand dollars image charge or something like that. He ended
up getting it done for a grand. I may have
the numbers wrong on it. I think the guy I
ended up saving like eight grand. That's Fred looking out
(01:00:02):
for his friend. Here's me looking out for you. You
got a choice when it comes to imaging, like all
medical services, So don't go to the hospital imaging department.
Be like Fred, Be like Jef, be like me. Go
to affordable imaging services and save thousands and thousands of dollars. So,
whether it's an echo cardiogram, mri, CT scanner, ultrasound or
X ray, go to one of the two affordable imaging
(01:00:22):
locations and get it done for a mere fraction. Every
image comes with a board certified radiologist report in the price,
so rather than thirty five hundred dollars for the echo cardiogram.
How about five hundred without an enhancement or eight hundred
with an enhancement of affordable imaging services. Thousands of dollars
can be saved. So do the right thing, save money.

Speaker 14 (01:01:30):
Hey, good morning Brian.
Speaker 9 (01:01:31):
Hey.
Speaker 14 (01:01:32):
I want to say if I could put a finer
point on the previous callers question about brad Winstrip as
I understand it, and I'm gonna put chronological order here.
Twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party brought out
the Russian pokes against Donald Trump. An investigation. Trump gets elected,
an investigation has launched. They find out that this is
(01:01:55):
just garbage and it was an attempt to overturn a
free and fair election.
Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Yeah, to distract from Hillary Clinton's email server problem, I
believe was the genesis of this Russian collusion hoax.
Speaker 14 (01:02:08):
Sure, then in twenty twenty, Joe Biden gets more votes
than any other president in history, which makes a half
the country scratch their head and say something's up.
Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
This can't be right.
Speaker 14 (01:02:23):
It gets buried. Win Strip's report gets buried for four years,
and he doesn't come forward because it's classified that we
may have had two.
Speaker 8 (01:02:36):
Elections in a row.
Speaker 14 (01:02:38):
One for sure, one is under a strict or very
very suspicious circumstances. Joe Biden get getting elected. They the
whole country gets inflicted with the Biden administration for four years.
During Trump's first term, the Russia hoax costs the taxpayers
(01:03:00):
millions and millions of dollars got in the way of
Trump's agenda. As he has to keep being distracted and
the whole country is distracted. Oh yeah, and I think
the previous caller my question is and Winstrip sat on
his hands because it was classified and you couldn't come
forward as a whistleblower. If treason is happening in the country.
Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it.
I can't speak for the congressman's actions or you know,
the timing of the matter. I just know that it
has been declassified, which allows me to talk about it now.
That's why it's been so widely reported. All the pieces
of the puzzle were finally put together. That coupled with
the most recent you know, document releases from the Department
of Justice, so they all add up to one big
(01:03:41):
damning you know, development of information, Jay, I you know,
in terms of classification, how things are declassified, and what
people's efforts were behind the scenes, if they were trying
to get it declassified at any given time. Those are
details I simply do not have, Jay, Honestly, I really don't.
Speaker 9 (01:03:57):
No, I know you don't.
Speaker 14 (01:03:57):
I didn't expect you to. But I think the deaths
the question that we have out here is what's it
going to take for a Republican congressman to have this information. Yes,
I understand how serious classified information is. But if you're
a patriot, for crying out loud and there's treason going on,
stand up, be heard. If this was the Democrat party,
they would have leaked it quietly to the press well
(01:04:19):
and got all the documents out there, versus sitting on
your hands and watch the country get destroyed with open
borders and every vent and all and everything else during
the Biden administration. For crying out loud, stand up well,
and you know your whistleblow up protection.
Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
This is one of those things that Republicans have convinced them,
have argued Democrats are doing all the time. It's leaked
to the press, and that leaking confidential information to the press,
of course, can subject to to criminal charges. So you know,
if you want to go down that road and risk
criminal prosecution and the name of patriotism, fine, that's fine.
Speaker 12 (01:04:52):
Yes, I would say so.
Speaker 14 (01:04:53):
I would say that's my expectation of a Republican congressman
if you know treason's going on and classified document the
classification of classified is keeping your mouth shut while the
country goes down the tubes. Shame on, Brad Weistrip, stand.
Speaker 12 (01:05:09):
Up, be a patriot, all right.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
I'll let him address that next time he's on the program.

FOP president Ken Kober FLP circuling a petition to get
rid of irs Rawleigh, of course, being paid by the
City of Cincinnati as some sort of advisor.
Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
She's out getting in front of police officers, interfering with
them performing their duties, which sounds like something that's sitable.
I'm going to find out from Kenneth that is a
sitable offense. Christopher Smith Aman at seven twenty. In the meantime,
jump over to the phones. Let's see what Jim's got
this morning. Jim, thanks for calling. Happy Monday, Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 7 (01:06:51):
I have to agree with the previous caller, I got
Winsterm's a nice guy, but he's got no spine. If
you watch what he did. We got rid of d
Schmidt and brought Brad in there. And he would not
take any stand against the party if he looked at
his building record, Oh yes, great conservative record, until you
(01:07:11):
look at the really important votes. And he wouldn't stand
up to the party. Do you think he's going to
stand up for anything else. He's not a Tom Manson
that stands up on principle. It's just, you know, I'm
glad he's gone to my rep I'm not sure about day.
But he had no courage to stand up against anything
that the party didn't say.
Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
He couldn't do fair enough, So he wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
He wouldn't commit treason because or stand up lay anybody
out for treason because he didn't have the spine to
do it.
Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
Well, you know, yeah, I don't have the problems. I
don't have a problem people criticizing him. You can draw
your own conclusions about who the politicians are and how
they vote on what they do. He isn't the only
person that was aware of that that document confirming that
the Democrats in fact created the Russian collusion. Hoaks had
a whole cloth that was confidential, and he obviously couldn't
(01:08:02):
talk about it inspite it because he has security clearance
and had access to it. He made his decision. You
can criticize him for it that say, Okay, I wish
kind of wish he was here to defend himself and
maybe make an argument to that effect. But right, I mean,
that's what elections are all about. I mean, you're going
to throw question, You're going to throw out the good
for the sake of the perfect, and people quite often
(01:08:23):
asked that question out loud when it comes to political choices. Anyhow,
five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight
hundred and eighty two to three dog found five fifty
on AT and T phones. Yeah, I'll just go ahead
and kind of intro this because we're going to get
to FLP President Ken Kober. They are calling the FOP
is for Iris Raleigh to be fired. And this what
(01:08:44):
this this online petition is being circulated for LEEDG is
that Raleigh has been caught on bodycam multiple times harassing
police officers from doing their jobs. At least as yesterday morning,
twenty nine hundred signatures their goal five thousand court of
the petition. Despite clear misconduct, the city continues to fund
(01:09:05):
her contract with taxpayer dollars. They posted the body camera
videos showing Raleigh alleged in what they determined its harassing cops.
Also posted an appearance she made on a podcast where
she quote wasted no time berating a retired Cincinni police
officer and the others on the show Close quote. FOP
(01:09:28):
also posted all three of the videos in the organization's
Facebook page, and one post claims Raleigh is not a
collaborator but an agitator. So we showed one of the
videos Raleigh asking a man who is being then interviewed
by Cincinnati police officers, then telling him to pour out
his spear if he wanted to file a complaint against
(01:09:49):
the police officer. Right in the middle of that going on,
Cheryl on city Manager defending her Her contribution span from
the origins of the collaborative agreement to her commitment to
problem solving resulting in support for teens in our transit center.
(01:10:10):
She consistently steps up to organize effective strategies and to
raise her hand to support the community when others don't,
but long did pivot over to the thing that the
police officers are dressing in their online petition saying anyone
doing work on behalf of the city of Cincinnati must
hold themselves to a higher standard that includes not interfering
(01:10:31):
with police who are in the act of performing their
lawful duties. Thank you, Cheryl Long for addressing the core
of the problem here. She's part of the purvol administration,
but she's out interfering with police officers in the act
of performing their lawful duties. Not a good look for
(01:10:52):
a city of Cincinnati that's under the microscope for its
law enforcement. Some argue failures. Others argue it's perhaps an
administration's problem because of it's a poor allocation of police resources,
failure to acknowledge the problem we have in the city
of Cincinnati, which is one of crime doing the five
(01:11:14):
d's of dodgeball. When addressing the question after the July
twenty sixth beat down six fifty five, can Kober on
that after the top of the UR News followed by
Christopher Smithman, is he running for counsel or not? Sort
of a side issue for Christopher this morning. I don't
know that the end, so we'll let Christopher answer that question.
(01:11:34):
Himself coming up at seven twenty. I hope you can
stick around.

the meantime, Happy to welcome back for the fifty five
Casey Morning Show. Fop fternal older Pee Chapter sixty nine,
which represents the Cincinnati Police Department heading it up. Ken Coberg, Ken,
good to have you back on the fifty five Casey
Morning Show. Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having all right. Now,
(01:12:33):
if I was out in the middle of the street
and I saw an officer I don't know, interacting with
someone in terms of making a stop, doing their job
and their official capacity as an on duty police officer,
and I got in the middle of it and interfered
with the police officer doing his job, would I be
subject to a citation?
Speaker 16 (01:12:50):
Ken Cober, Yeah, I mean you'd be subject to a
citation or subject to arrest for that matter.
Speaker 3 (01:12:55):
Okay, I guess first question. You have it on video,
and you circulated a petition to well have Iris Rawley
described as a consultant to the City of Cincinnati in
a paid capacity, get her fired from her job, and
you show a couple of illustrations she's been caught on bodycam,
which you did post with the you petition for assing
police officers in the middle of doing their job. Can
(01:13:17):
I ask why that she wasn't cited.
Speaker 16 (01:13:21):
Well, you know, officers had discretion, and in that situation,
it was clear the officer knew exactly who Iris was
and thought that it would be better to attempt to
de escalate the situation than it would be to try
to arrest her, knowing that it was a likelihood that
it was going to get worse. So they made what
I thought was a good decision just to try to
(01:13:44):
let it go under the circumstances. But as I've explained
to the city manager, those circumstances are running out, and
she should expect the next policeman she comes across and
tries to do something like that, she will be arrested.
Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
Yeah, she's on notice now, clearly, most notably because you
circulated a petition trying to get her fired. Now, she's
been around since the days of the riots and the
Collaborative Agreement, and a lot of people, including the city
manager in responsive petition, you know, gave her props. Is
a consequence of her activism. But she has been an
out loud voice against the police department and seems to
(01:14:19):
embrace this defund the police kind of strategy. And she's
certainly an agitator when it comes to well filing complaints
against police officers who are doing their job. Now, I
guess I understand why you're trying to ask for her
to be fired. Do you have any idea what role
she plays now since the Collaborative Agreement has been around
for now for what like almost two decades.
Speaker 16 (01:14:41):
Consultant of the city manager, and that came straight from
the city manager that she consults her.
Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
And you know, and that's fine.
Speaker 16 (01:14:48):
Is all the work that she's done with the collaborative Agreement,
whether you like it you don't like it, the work
that she's done can't go un notice.
Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
However, she's crossed the line.
Speaker 16 (01:14:57):
You cross the line when you decide that you're going
to obstruct official business. When the police are out there
trying to do what they're paid to do, and it's
something that's just not going to be tolerated.
Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
I certainly understand that it sounds like the city manager's
on your site on that, after supporting Iris Rowley and
everything that she's done on behalf of the city. City
manager along said anyone doing work on behalf of the
city of Cincinnati Iris Rowley must hold themselves to a
higher standard that includes not interfering with police or in
the act of performing their lawful duties. So even the
city manager is on your side on this, Kenkober.
Speaker 16 (01:15:31):
Well, yeah, but we'll see if there's going to be
any consequence for her actions. That's going to be where
the proof is in the putting. Is she gonna actually
do something about it, And that's yet to be seen.
Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
It is yet to be seen now so far. How
many signatures do you have on your petition? I looked
at it's just over thirty four hundred.
Speaker 16 (01:15:47):
I can tell you I was working the Sccincinnati match
last night and there are some folks that were talking
about it said that they fully support the police that
they've signed it. I've talked to some officers that are
reluctant to sign it because they believe that somehow the
city is going to get this information and that they
will try to retaliate against them if they do sign it.
Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
Now, I just won't have to be a resident of
the city of Cincinnati to sign the petition.
Speaker 9 (01:16:11):
No, And you know this, this.
Speaker 16 (01:16:12):
Petition is really twofold. It's one it's sending a message
to the city saying that we're not going to tolerate
some consultant from the city that's going to create, you.
Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
Know, uh, have a criminal act, commit a criminal.
Speaker 16 (01:16:24):
Act that's going to harass the police. But also it's
a message because the police are seeing it, and the
police are seeing the support they have. So I encourage
all those that are the silent minority or the silent
majority that are always supporting the police that don't necessarily
want to come out and say it, sign the petition
because these officers are taking notice of how many signatures
are you know, being signed.
Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
Well, I guess considering she's in this consulting capacity, of
course she's an outspoken community activist. Everything in the city
seems to know who iris. Rawly is the fact that
she's going out there and actually interfering with officers doing
their job. Isn't that encouraging others residents of the city
to do the same dang thing, Since if Iris can
do it, shouldn't I be doing it also.
Speaker 16 (01:17:07):
Without a doubt? I mean, they don't understand, you know,
the impact that this is having. I mean, officers are
absolutely furious about this. You know, I was at a
role call this morning. Not one officer had anything bad
to say about this petition. They encourage it. They actually
want me to go even further and take other steps,
and that's we'll see how this all plays out. But
(01:17:29):
they're furious to see that you have somebody that is
supposedly a city leader that is harassing the police when
they're simply trying to do their job.
Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Now, what do you hope ultimately comes to this? Obviously,
if the petition, you know, it serves its purpose, she's
going to get fired. I really am hesitant to believe
that Share along or anybody in the Cincinnati and the
current government, is going to fire her for doing this.
So this really does serve the purpose of putting Iris
specifically on notice that maybe next time around, she will
(01:18:00):
get sided, and also sends a warning to the rest
of the Greater Cincinnati residents. Don't do this, because you'll
see what's going to happen next time we encounter Iris
involving this. I mean, this just brings it to everybody's
attention as something not to do.
Speaker 9 (01:18:13):
Right.
Speaker 16 (01:18:14):
Absolutely, I had this conversation with the city manager on Friday,
and I told her, listen, she should thank her lucky
stars that she came across an extremely patient police officer
who is willing to deal with that nonsense, because there's
a lot of police officers out there that wouldn't have
been willing to deal with it, that would have just
arrested her, which is what ultimately could have happened. Like
(01:18:36):
I said, I respect the officer that was involved. I
think she's a fantastic person. Under the circumstances, I believe
she made the right decision. But Iris is going to
be so lucky next time, and that's going to be
on the city manager to have to deal with. You know,
if they continue to do business with her, they continue
to give her taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Because I believe Iris.
Speaker 16 (01:18:56):
Is not going to stop doing this, it would be
smart if she does. That's what we want is for
her just to stop this behavior. But if it continues,
believe me, there is a high likelihood that she will
be arrested.
Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
Well, and I agree with your conclusion about the officer
involved in not issuing the citation, But doesn't that highlight
the very problem that Iris Ralli has created because she
is such a loud activist and will look into and
with hindsight twenty twenty, look at every single, every single
moment in time of any officer and maybe perp interaction
(01:19:32):
that they're going to be under the microscope, which has
caused law enforcement officers to really question engaging people on
the street for fear of being called out by Iris
Rawli and others of her ILK. Now, doesn't this confirm
that that strategy actually work because Iris avoided getting a
ticket because it was well known to the police that
she was this loud activist. Yeah, I mean, I think
(01:19:54):
you could certainly draw that conclusion.
Speaker 16 (01:19:56):
But I'll just say this, there are plenty of policemen
that I've talked to this said at that was me
in that situation, I would have arrested her. You know,
no one, no one in this police department is against accountability.
You know, the public deserves transparency. They deserve the police
to be held accountable. But if they think that they're
going to allow some bully to continue to harass police officers,
(01:20:17):
it's just not going to happen. There are plenty of
cops out there that we're wishing that that was them
because they would have arrested.
Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
Her fair enough. Well, if folks want to sign the petition,
FOP President Ken Cover, where do they go.
Speaker 9 (01:20:28):
To do that?
Speaker 16 (01:20:29):
Goodness sincy c I n c Y police dot Com.
All the information that is all held by the FOP,
So it's not like the city's getting this information.
Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
We're storing all this information.
Speaker 16 (01:20:41):
It's private and you know, we want to be able
to see that you know how many people are actually
out there supporting the police, because we know there's a
ton of you.
Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
All amen to that. FOP President can Cover. I can't
thank you enough for the time you spent my listeners
and me talking about this important topic. I'll look for
hard to having you back on and if listeners want
to sign a petition, I'll encourage them to do so. Ken,

a very happy Monday, made extra special every Monday at
this time. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman
for the Monday Morning smith Avan. Christopher, always a pleasure
having on my show.
Speaker 9 (01:22:46):
Oh, thank you so much, Brian for having me on.
So I'll get at the first question that you have presented.
A Yes, I did pull a petition to run for
city council on Friday around four pm. So we're in
the process of collecting signatures to get my name on
the ballot, and we have a short window nine days.
(01:23:08):
The signatures are due on the twentieth, and so we're
excited about it. You know, my frustration is, like with
everyone else. You know, we've seen a city hall that
seems to just miss some very important facts around crime
or safety in our community, brother or dealing with what's
(01:23:29):
happening in Hyde Park with the development there, and it
just seemed to be ignored.
Speaker 10 (01:23:33):
That's a very very, very very big deal.
Speaker 9 (01:23:36):
And so you know, this city Council has really set
race relations back ten years the comment by the President
pro Tem, and one of the reasons I want to
explain this is that thirty years ago we didn't have
the internet the way we have it now. And so
when you can go to Europe and see a statement
from the President pro Tem which is thirty in command
(01:23:56):
that says that Holly was begging for the beat down
that she got right, is devastating for the economics of
our city. It is the devastating for the economics of
our city, is devastating for our reputation, and the President
Protend just seems to not understand it. If the mayor
(01:24:17):
wanted to hold her accountable today, he could strip her
of her title President Protend. He could demand that council
revoke that. It doesn't make sense to me. So there
are a lot of good reasons to put my name
on the ballot to give the citizens of Cincinnati in
our fifty two neighborhoods an option. It's going to be
up to them if they want to keep the status
quo where we're heading, They're not going to vote for me.
(01:24:39):
If they like a change and a voice on Council
of Reason and common Sense, no matter what their political
party is, they'll vote for me. Well, yes, I did
pull a petition. We'll be working incredibly hard over the
next nine days to get the five hundred good signatures to.
Speaker 10 (01:24:53):
Put my name on ballot.
Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Well, what can my Cincinnati City of Cincinnati dwelling listeners
do to help you out on that? A place they
can go to sign the petition? Where's it going to
be circulated? What can we do to put you here?
With the top there?
Speaker 9 (01:25:04):
Christopher, So, Jim and Jack is the headquarters and people
can just come down. Like I said before, it's the
super majority of people that work here. The owner and
it's gym is daughter who runs at Karen Jim.
Speaker 4 (01:25:20):
They all live in the.
Speaker 9 (01:25:21):
City of Cincinnati. I live at Price Hill and so
they're here circulating. They're not open on Mondays, but Tuesday
through Sunday they can just walk into the establishment say
they're here to sign the petition. And sign the petition.
That's what we need, and the key is that we need,
as you indicated, Brian, citizens that live in the city
of Cincinnati, in our fifty two neighborhoods. The second thing
(01:25:43):
that we need is for people to pick up a
petition and take it home. Now, this is a detail
that's important, Like we don't need people necessarily to fill
out the whole petition. Just you come in, husband comes in,
signs the petition, takes the petition home, has his wife witnesses,
his wife's signature is children's signature, and then brings it back.
They might get three or four signatures, but we know
(01:26:05):
all those signatures are good. The key to this is validity.
It's not volume. It's getting the right people in the
city who are registered to vote where their address matches
the Board of Elections to sign the petition so we
can turn those signatures in by the twenty Well, I
appreciate the opportunity to say that and thank you Brian
for that time.
Speaker 3 (01:26:25):
Listen, man, I can't think of a better thing to
happen for the city. Since now you're getting on the
bout and getting elected, you have a record that you
can run on. You can point back to your record
successful it was, to your record on common sense, logic
and reason. Of course, offering an alternative voice to the
lockstep unified voice, we get out of the Democrats, which
quite often doesn't make any sense. So wonderful development, folks,
(01:26:45):
you have an opportunity to help out. Let's change the direction.
Let's get Christopher on the ballot and then of course
do the hard work of getting him elected. Christopher, I'm
really pleased with the announcement. I really really am, and
I'm excited for you, and I'm think about good things
maybe coming for the city of Cincinnati. We got great
options coming up this fall, great options. Just question of

on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
To Shy at seven twenty nine to fifty five kr
C the talk station Brian Thomas with former vice mayor
of the City of Cincinnati and maybe councilmen again, Christopher Smithman.
Christopher Eric commented to me, he said, when Corey Bowman
gets elected, we can get Christopher Smithemer as vice mayor again.
Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
Maybe well, well.
Speaker 9 (01:29:38):
We'll leave that, yeah, Mayor Cory Bowman, right, But what
I will say is that this will give I hope
the citizens of Cincinnati, you know, an option, and I'm
one of a few good options on there because I
think Stephen Gooden is, oh yeah, a good guy who's running.
(01:29:58):
I served with him, always came prepared, professional, understood the
subject matter, and delivered the vote and didn't mind being
in the minority. People don't realize that the descending vote
is also very important because it means that those citizens
in the fifty two neighborhoods who wanted to hear a
no vote got it, and it meant that somebody heard
(01:30:20):
them and was standing with them on their position. That's
number one, but number two, it also forces negotiations, meaning
sometimes votes are five to four, they're right there on
the bubble, and that kind of pressure Brian Thomas sometimes
makes the other side conceive points that are important to
get the compromise. So we can't keep doing what we're doing.
(01:30:41):
We can't have nine Democrats on council. A mayor that's
a Democrat. They're just running the table as a group think.
And typically those types of board of directors are bad
for cities. We see it in Chicago right now. Chicago
is in so much economic trouble, and often it's because
they've had a group think, you know. So anyway, it's
(01:31:04):
an option, and I'm not gonna harp on that. I
want to say, there was some type of fight in
downtown Cincinnati. We've had shots fired, all kinds of things,
but there was a fight that citizens are talking about
between some white citizens down in downtown Cincinnati. And it
looked like white youth. And so it's important for the
mainstream media to talk about it, right, don't hide that
(01:31:28):
under the carpet. What happened? How are we as a
city managing that. Did they arrest anybody, whether they were
juveniles or they going to juvenile court? How was it
a dressed It didn't look like a fair fight. It
looked like somebody several young men looked like they were
jumping on one or two people. But it looked like chaos,
and it did look like an officer was on team
(01:31:49):
breaking it up. So that's a good thing. I mean
that there was somebody there responding to it. But the
point is that we want to be balanced in our
coverage about what's happening in our city, and this is
one of those opportunities for mainstream media to do just that.
Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
In my opinion, yeah, I agree, And crime is crime
is crime. Whether it's white kids beating up on somebody
or black kids beating up on somebody. The problem is
we've got a bunch of kids runn around beating up
on people, and that's not a good view. I mean,
if you want to paint the city of Cincinnati is
a safe place, does it matter the color of the
person's skin if you're going to probably get a beatdown
if you're going downtown Cincinnati. The point is is crime
(01:32:24):
is a problems.
Speaker 9 (01:32:27):
That's absolutely true. And we can't have leaders undermining law
enforcement no matter what. Because I heard the FOP president
in his interview, and so you can't have leaders in
the city undermining getting in between the work of what
our Cincinnati Police Department is doing. And by the way,
you know, having served as the Chair of Law and
(01:32:49):
Public Safety, that's part of their job, that kind of oversight.
Meaning if I were the Chair of Law and Public
Safety and I had an incident like that, I would
have a hearing on it. I'd ask the person, the
employer who's involved, the contractor police come in and explain this,
meaning this is not something that's normal and not something
that should happen. So part of the problem is the
(01:33:09):
council isn't functioning giving the oversight, and then it triggers
the FOP to have to do the things that they're doing.
It's because city Council is not doing what they're supposed
to do, which is police themselves, police the institution. That's
why they're serving as the board of directors. So again
that's another reason, right, it's important to get people elected
on council because let's say Stephen Gooden was a member
(01:33:32):
of council, he probably would say, here's a motion, I'd
like to have a hearing on the subject matter that
the FOP president was just talking about, which is talking
about it from the outside, but there should be somebody
on council of the nine of them saying this is
a problem. We're going to have a hearing about it
and have a public discussion.
Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
Well, same thing on the President pro TEMs, just unbelievably
horrific statement about this. People deserving a beatdown, including Holly,
who seem to be completely innocent whole thing. So yeah,
you might advance the motion to address that and sanction her,
otherwise remove her from any you know, a membership position
on any given committee.
Speaker 9 (01:34:10):
You know, I the is no question Brian Thomas, there
is no question that out of nine members of council,
the president pro tem who's third in command. So that
means that when the mayor's out of town, the vice
mayor's out of town, the President pro tem is running
the city third in command. So in the country, it's
right the president, the vice president, and then the Speaker
of the House. The reality of it is you at
(01:34:33):
the Speaker of the House, like in the connection of
power in the city, saying that Hollywood was begging for
what happened to her, And you don't have that resolution
that you just discussed by any member of councilor of
the mayor saying we're going to censure her, We're going
to strip her of some committee chairmanships or a committee positions,
(01:34:55):
or we're going to strip her of her president pro
tem and it doesn't her title, because that then what's
happening is and you know this is her comments are
playing in Europe. Yeah, this is around the world community.
It's not like this is local to Cincinnati. People are
discussing what she said around the world, not just the
(01:35:16):
United States of America. And there's not that other voice
in the void that's elected down there saying we don't
agree with this, We're going to hold her accountable. The
peace is we're going to hold her accountable. It's not
okay just to say, hey, I don't agree with what
she said. If you have to take the next step
here to say, here's how we're going to hold this
elected official accountable, Brian Tard, that's missing in the system
(01:35:38):
right now.
Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
Yeah, And I mean the silence from the rest of
the council is really deafening along those lines because that
statement cannot be justified under any circumstances none. So it
is a bad optic for the City of Cincinnati. I mean,
she is an elected official, as you point out, in
the third highest role on the city and said that
(01:35:59):
Holly deserved to get punched in the face. I'm just
I'm beside myself still on that one. Let's continue with
Christopher Smith and at seven thirty five right now if

We all remember that one.
Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Seven thirty nine fifty five KERR CD talk station. Brian
Talling with with Christopher Smithman may Orrill are a council candidate.
If we can get him on the ballot. Get over
to Jim and Jackson the River. Not today because they're
closed on Mondays, but that's where you can find a petition.
Make sure Christopher has valid signatures of residents of the
City of Cincinnati so you can get on the ballot
and we'll have a better option as we get forward
closer to the election of this November. Good Man, he
(01:37:45):
is Christopher, you're talking about the situation Iris Rawley. I
had FOP President Ken Coob we're on earlier, talking about
petition they're circulating to have her removed from her role
as a consultant getting paid by the City of Cincinnati
while out there interfering with police officers. And you know
because you heard it. The point I was making with
him is she is She's got a lot of swing
(01:38:05):
in the Cincinnati area among residents political activists outspoken, clearly
been around since the collaborative agreement, So her voice, in
spite of what you or I may conclude about it,
does carry a lot of weight. So I think it's
important this petition because she is literally committing a crime
by interfering with the actions of police officers. This is
(01:38:26):
a warning to Iris Rawley, as he indicated, to not
do it anymore, or you're going to get sighted next
time it happens. But it's also a warning to the
rest of the residents. Because Iris are roally out there
bothering and interfering with police doing their work. That's incentive
to others to do the same thing. Much in the
same way. Victoria Parks President pro Temps comment that those
folks deserve the beatdown they got is kind of a
(01:38:49):
suggestion to other residents of the city of Cincinnati. Hey,
it's okay to beat up on whitey, or at least
that's kind of a conclusion you draw your take.
Speaker 9 (01:38:58):
Well, look first, if we had a functioning administration and counsel,
the FOP president would not have to do what they're doing,
because the city manager would call that contractor in in
this case Irish Roly and say never ever engage in
this behavior. You cannot go out. And then, certainly on
(01:39:20):
this bodycam, it's saying I think the statement was I
don't trust you or I don't trust the police. I mean,
it was one of the statements something like that to
the officer who was trying to cite the person on
the bicycle and the person the officer was saying in
a very respectful way. By the way, I'd give her
an a plus in how she handled the situation.
Speaker 3 (01:39:40):
I hope you give me.
Speaker 9 (01:39:41):
She did a wonderful job managing that right because she
understood the political ramification right and that she was doing
her best to de escalate. She didn't want to put
handcuffs on Irish Roly, but she needed to do her
job of citing this person back to jail. So it
was a very tough situation for the officers or kudos
to her. But at the end of the day, if
(01:40:02):
the city manager right, if she was doing her job,
she would say, look, not only don't do it, but publicly,
I'm going to make sure that I send the message
to the community that this was unacceptable behavior. So because
that's not happening. The statement that I heard you read
from the city manager was kind of like, these are
(01:40:22):
the great things, yes, that the contractor does for our community,
which is not dealing with the issue that the FOP
president is putting forward. So because and by the way, Brian,
somebody on council, the chair of Lauren Public Safety, the
vice chair of Lauren Public Safety, a member of Law
(01:40:43):
and Public Safety should be engaging here with the oversight. Again,
that's the part of the dysfunction that the FLP president
has to come and do any of this work.
Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
Well, I will give some credit to City Manager Long
she did conclude with anyone doing work on behalf of
the city of Cincinnati, iris Rawley must hold themselves to
a higher standard. That includes not interfering with police who
are in the act of performing their lawful duties. So
she is on record sort of, I guess in a
sense giving Iris Rawley a notice. Look, you didn't get
(01:41:13):
a ticket previously, although you could have easily gotten one,
don't do it again.
Speaker 9 (01:41:21):
But Brian, the problem is that she's trying to find
the balance when right now you have an employee here
and are a contractor, and you should just say at
the end of that that should have been the only statement. No,
because what you were talking about and what the FOP
president is talking about, we don't want anybody else doing
it exactly, meaning this is how Sunny Kim lost his life.
(01:41:42):
There was somebody getting in between. That's what andre Ewing
was saying as an officer, which, by the way, I
have tremendous respect for andre Ewing as an officer. I
served with him on council and his work that he's
doing now because he's calling out things right and wrong
and he's not bathing in race and is so here
on what he's saying. But having said that, the system
(01:42:04):
is dysfunctional. Yet another reason I want to say, highlight
this hyde Park Square deal right now. Remember hyde Park
went to all of the meetings and said hey, developer,
this is not what we want. Right. I think there
were two members of council who said no and seven
that said yes, and so it put Hyde Park in
(01:42:24):
this position where they had to go out collect signatures
like I'm collecting to put my name on the ballot.
They put their issue on the ballot and they're doing
a referendum and they're putting pressure on the developer. If
they had a functioning city council, the council would have said, look,
let's pause this for ninety days. The Planning commissioner said yes.
I served on the Planning Commission for four years, and
(01:42:46):
by the way, I loved the Planning Commission staff, and
that is since there they know I love them. They
do great work. But the Planning Commission is saying here's
our recommendation. When they got to the floor of council,
there should have been a majority of members saying high Park.
The people that we represent are saying they have a
problem with this. We're going to put this on hold
for ninety days. We're gonna sit down with the developers
(01:43:07):
and we're going to negotiate the height and negotiate the issues.
Because the High Park residents aren't saying they don't want it.
They're saying they wanted to conform with the zoning that's
in front of them. Why are you changing the rules
in the middle of the game. That's the discussion, that's it.
And so my point is that it's a shame that
Hyde Park had to go through what they're going through.
(01:43:30):
But guess what. Let's talk about bond Hill. Bond Hill
has development over there, beautiful homes that they're building, five
hundred thousand dollars, homes that people have invested their money in.
There was an absolute discussion that no low more low
income housing was going to go into Badhil. Guess what
council put low income housing right or they're pursuing this
(01:43:51):
right in the heart around these homes that are being built.
And the point is, I'm not saying that people who
don't have means have low value or low bad morals
and blah blah blah, but it's not the agreement that
they made. And most Americans still have the majority of
their wealth in their home. So why would city council
(01:44:12):
take an action where they keep putting great development in
other neighborhoods and then look at a middle class really
solid neighborhood like bond Hill and drop bad things that
the residents are saying they don't want. These are the
things that alarm me.
Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
Yeah, well, I mean it's an interesting reality because forever
council members would pay lip service the idea of redeveloping communities,
like how much money was put into over the Rhine
and making it gentrified and beautifying it and expensive rental properties.
They wanted to bring in wealthy urban hipsters who pay taxes.
Isn't that exactly what bond Hill's doing. Shouldn't council welcome
(01:44:49):
the idea that people are willing to invest half a
million dollars in a home. Those are tax payers, Yes.
Speaker 9 (01:44:56):
And the majority of them, majority of them are African American,
and they're going, what the heck? They're as frustrated as
Hyde Park, meaning Hyde Park has to understand that their
connection to what's happening in price Ville, where there's Warsaw
Avenue which has been devastated, right around Seaton and right
around Elder High School. If those high schools weren't there,
price Hille would have gone the pot they're holding it
(01:45:18):
down there. My point is you have a pattern where
city council. They're not listening to the fifty two neighborhoods.
This connect community thing that the mayor pushed, who heard
most of the fifty two neighborhoods say, we don't want this,
we don't want this, we don't want this. What if
they do shoved it down their throat. That's why I
decided to put my name on the ballot. And we
(01:45:39):
really hope, Brian, that people will come to Jim and
Jack starting tomorrow sign the petition if they live in
the City of Cincinnati. Make this easy for us. Drive
sign the petition, have a coffee, sit down and put
my name. Get my name on the ballot. So we
have a choice because early voting starts October the fourth,
somewhere around there, thirty days of voting, so this is
(01:46:01):
not a lot of time. By the time I get
the signature, my name goes on the ballot and the
fifty two neighborhoods have a choice. Do you want me
back down there to give your neighborhood a voice. You're
not going to always agree with me, but what you
will get is the truth, and you'll get somebody with
common sense who loves the city of Cincinnati. And who
would never say that Holly was begging for the beatdown
(01:46:25):
that she got. I pray that I hear Holly on
this show five fifty. I hope she comes in and
gives you an interview. Her interviews are riveting. Anybody that
hasn't heard that your listening audience needs to hear from
Holly and her experiences. And I pray to God that
she comes on your show and gives you an interview.
Speaker 3 (01:46:43):
And I'm pray to God my city dwelling residence going
on over to Jim and Jacks tomorrow and next several
days to sign the petition to get christ from I love.
Speaker 9 (01:46:50):

James from Allworth Financial. Brian James, Welcome back to the
morning show. Hope you had a great weekend. Good morning,
mister Thomas. Happy hot summer to you. Yeah. Really, I
thought we were done with that anyway, it is August.
I guess we'll have to roll with it until the
cooler temperatures come in. That's okay.
Speaker 18 (01:48:28):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
It takes a little while for these tariffs to kind
of settle in. You and I have talked a lot
about Trump's on again, off again tariffs. You know, one
minute there's a fifty percent tariff, next minute it's been
held off. Negotiations begin or not, as the case may be,
the point being, ultimately you hope to sit down with
a country negotiate something that's palatable to both sides, sometimes successful,
sometimes not. But higher tariffs everyone has been saying are
(01:48:52):
going to result in higher prices, which does make sense.
Apparently that's starting to trickle in in terms of the
numbers that are reported.
Speaker 19 (01:48:59):
Yep, we're starting to see some. You know, we've talked
about this before. We're hitting the point where, you know,
when the day we start talking about tariffs and the
headlines is not the day they start having an impact
on inflation, right, And in that situation for several months
and the way companies work. And we've talked about this
several times too. Remember there was a spike in economic
activity in Q one that looked fantastic, which wasn't beat
where the economy is still doing okay as we're sitting
(01:49:21):
here right now. The spike in Q one had a
lot to do with countries just staying ahead. Our companies
rather staying ahead when these tariffs are going to kick
in because everybody knew something was on the horizon, we
just didn't yet know what. Therefore, they were front loading
their inventories and things they had to buy just to
stay ahead of the pricing to buy themselves a little time. Well,
clocks taking and we're now those resources are somewhat depleted.
(01:49:41):
We kind of got to get back to where we were.
So course CPI. Let's switch to today's headlines. Core CPI
is projected to increase by about a three tenths of
a percent in July. That's the largest gain since early
twenty twenty five. I hate when we have headlines like
that that compared to some historic period that is not
that long ago, right, largest gain since six months ago.
(01:50:02):
Wooh yeah, it's a point, but it's the trajectory of course,
so yet we are seeing this because this is coming
from tariff induced price increases, household furnishings, recreational goods, those
kinds of things. Headline CPI of course, Now this is
kind of ironic, brind headline. CPI may only rise by
point by by about point two percent, and that is
(01:50:22):
helped by lower gasoline prices. How long has it been
since we looked at gas and oil as something that's
keeping inflation in check?
Speaker 9 (01:50:28):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
I know, but I mean you can't deny the reality
of it. Gas is a lot cheaper right now.
Speaker 19 (01:50:33):
And we talked about it all summer, right, we skipped
you and I skipped over the entire vacation period. We
didn't talk about the price of the pump. I don't
think I said those words all summer long. No, And
it's the first year, I think, And I mean this
is the heavy driving time. Of course, it has been
since school let out. So the idea that gasoline hasn't
been up when it traditionally spikes, it's a great omen.
Are we are we should we anticipate lower price gasoline
(01:50:53):
into the future, Brian, You know that, though that's always
tough to guess. My crystal balls as broke as everybody
else is. However, we do seem to be in an
environment where things are friendly, supplies are okay, We've we've
got more friendly regulation towards drilling in this country.
Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Uh, And I think that's what's what's keeping it down.
Speaker 19 (01:51:10):
There's a lot of people not happy about that, and
there's you know, there's downsides to all this as well,
but currently that's what pushes it down the list of
stuff we should be worried about in terms about the
overall economy.
Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
Now, I'm not overly worried that we're going to be
talking about gas prices in the near future. Well, I
keep hearing about all these billions of dollars that the
US has taken in as a consequence of these increased tariffs.
Where's where's our slice of that action? Brian?
Speaker 19 (01:51:32):
You know, that's a great question, and I really wish
somebody could get past Carolyn Lovett with that and just
force the president to answer to say, where are all
these dollars going? Great, We're generating all this money, you know,
from these tariffs, where does it actually van is it
getting distributed?
Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Uh, you know, to to the you know, to the
people who voted all.
Speaker 19 (01:51:49):
This into place, my guess is going to be no
otherwise we'd be talking about that because it would start
to sell votes for the midterms.
Speaker 3 (01:51:54):
So my guess is it's simply going in.
Speaker 19 (01:51:56):
To fill the holes that we're that are being created
with some of the the tax cuts on corporations. And
since we focused more on cutting taxes and really haven't
done much in the way of spending, DOSE seems to
have kind of gone away.
Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
Very very quietly, I might add.
Speaker 19 (01:52:10):
I you know, when you read all this on paper,
when it became clear what the platform was going to be,
it sounded like there was going to be a body
that was going to cut costs and then there was
going to be a body that was going to figure
out how to lower taxes in response, so at least
we keep things whatever balanced means anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
But that does not seem to have happened. I haven't
whatever happened to that wall of receipts from DOSE.
Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
That's a long winded answer to say, I don't know,
but I sure am curious just like you.
Speaker 12 (01:52:35):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
I mean, it's a legiti why I asked it out
a lot, it's a legitimate question. But I suppose if
you're looking at all the numbers, let's say at the
end of the year, we've taken in X billions of dollars.
That's money that we got that we otherwise wouldn't have received.
So the numbers, at least in terms of like deficit spending,
will be less, right, all things being equal, just by
virtue of the tariffs coming in. Yeah, and that that
(01:52:58):
is again paper.
Speaker 19 (01:53:00):
I want to see this work mechanically, so let's talk
about the mechanics of it. So when we collect tariffs,
they're collected by the customs and border patrols, sent directly
to the treasury.
Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
They're not ear marked specifically for.
Speaker 19 (01:53:10):
Anything unless that's unless that's legislatively done, which that's not
something we do anymore apparently. But usually it just goes
into the kind of overall general government spending, reducing the
federal deficit. And sometimes there are specific earmarks for subsidies
like we mentioned, but that is in the past. That's
what we've done in the past. Now we are very
not exactly transparent about where it's going. So we're collecting
(01:53:33):
about fifty billion dollars annually, and the average tariff as
we're sitting here right now is about seventeen percent on
imported goods. That's the highest it's been since about the
nineteen thirties, Brian. So somebody is going to have to
explain where all these dollars are going, since we're bringing
in more than we have in a century.
Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
Yep, no doubt. And one of the things I saw
I noted in the article in terms of price hikes,
they say firms are having a difficult time hiking prices
in spite of the fact that they're now facing these
terriffs they have to deal with because real disposable income
growth has not been very good for the household. So
the tail in people who are buying goods and services
don't have any more money to deal with a price increase,
(01:54:11):
which is causing firms and maybe hold off on increasing prices,
which means their profits are lower, which means their quarterly
earning statements are going to be lower.
Speaker 7 (01:54:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (01:54:20):
So the narrative that happened during the during the campaign
and has continued is that other countries are going to
pay for this, other countries will pay Well, that's not
really the case. What we're doing is we're increasing the
cost of doing businesses for domestic company companies who have
to bring in these resources to create and sell their products,
they have to pass those through so and eventually the
(01:54:42):
consumer has pricing power. We live pretty high on the
hog in this country, so yes, when we have to,
that's a good thing. But when we have to, we
can and do tighten our belts. That's what we're starting
to see. We're starting to see the end consumer saying,
you know what, I really don't need this. I can
find another solution for this problem. I don't need to
spend this much. And that means those costs are not
being passed or they are being born, however, by the
companies that produce those products and services, not the countries
(01:55:05):
that sell us the resources.
Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
All right, and the whole hope I believe by the
Trump administrations that over time that will re shore a
lot of the things that we're buying from these higher
tariff countries. Now you'll choose to build the products here
in the United States. But you know, there's still this
long long standing reality that the reason these things got
off short in the first place, manufacturing, et cetera. If
it's a hell of a lot cheaper to do it
(01:55:27):
in those other countries, question whether the tariff makes that
historic challenge, you know, to compete with the United States,
which has all these ocean rules and these environmental rules,
and it has all these labor rules, and instead of
making the price of building something here more expensive, does
that balance that to create a better environment here to
the extent that it's going to negate the tariff So
(01:55:49):
far it would seem to on paper, yes, we are.
Speaker 19 (01:55:52):
We are seeing headlines of companies that are bringing bringing
manufacturing on back on shore. So Apple has committed to
six hundred billion dollars over four years. Right then there's
a huge plant going in down in Heridsburg, Kentucky. That's
going to be that's a corning plant that they make
gorilla glo. Yes, all the glass and iPhones. So there
are things happening. Taiwan Semiconductors is committing a lot in
the United States, Nvidia, Hyundai, Ford. There are a lot
(01:56:14):
of plans to get these factories up and running. However,
but like you mentioned, what is it cost to pay
a factory worker here in the United States versus somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
There are so many moving parts to this, Brian.
Speaker 19 (01:56:24):
You've got countries that we've relied on for I don't know,
maybe a notch or two above slave labor because they
earn nothing, but they work in the factories here. You
can't do that because we do want to maintain a
certain standard of living for our citizens. However, that makes
everything more expensive. So what I have not yet seen
is what falls out. What's the cost of an iPhone
that is manufactured completely in the United States? How much
(01:56:45):
does it go up so that we can have that
stamp on it?
Speaker 7 (01:56:47):
Right?
Speaker 19 (01:56:48):
I don't know what's good or bad about it, but
that's a question has been answered yet for me.
Speaker 3 (01:56:52):
Maybe there's that component or element that, well, Americans would
be more willing to pay a little bit more for
something made here. I know there's still some of patriotism
when it comes to choosing where goods and services are
created and manage.
Speaker 19 (01:57:03):
Absolutely that still results in inflation somehow, some way. So
it does you know, political support purposes.
Speaker 3 (01:57:09):
But money is money. Money is money. Let's come up
on eight fifty fifty five kr CD talk station. Do
you want crypto in your four oh one K? And
some new benefits companies are offering those two more subjects
we'll get in the next segment with Brian James. I'll
be right back fifty five KRC dot Com eight nineteen
fifty five kr CD talk station doing that money Monday
(01:57:29):
thing with all of financials, Brian James A. Brian, We've
talked about this before. Private equity as one of the
things that they're opening up to include in four to
one K program investments, along with maybe cryptocurrencies in a
state of FLUXI appear to be I guess quick question
up front, why can't we invest our four oh one
K dollars in these things? Or haven't been able to
(01:57:50):
deal with these things already? What's what's wrong with them
as an investment vehicle.
Speaker 19 (01:57:54):
Well, in the past, I would say the Department of
Labor has rules in place. By the way, the Apartment
of Labor governs four oh one k's retirement plans, not
directly the SEC. The SEC plays a role, But you
can own a mutual fund inside your four oh one
K that is that the DL has an opinion on.
You can own the exact same tick or symbol mutual
fund outside in just a plain old broker's account, and
(01:58:15):
the DOL has nothing to do with it. So Department
of Labor historically has weighed in on retirement assets and
basically decided that the companies who provide them, your employers
and my employer has a fiduciary obligation to some extent
to make sure that people don't you know, effectively have
enough rope to hang themselves. And so that's why over
the years you've probably seen the reduction and options in
(01:58:38):
your four one K. I would see people early in
my career, they would bring in the list of choices
they have for all their mutual funds and there'd be
like fifty of them on there. The result of that
is people would do nothing and they would leave it
sit in the money market for ten fifteen years, and
then we would have to kind of explain exactly how
much money had been left on the table because they
didn't sit down and figure out how that works. Now
so that we dependulum kind of swung the other direction.
(01:58:58):
Then we saw a lot of reduction to the choices
you have and simplification. That's when target date funds came in.
You know you're going to retire in twenty fifty five.
Here's here's a catch all fund. Throw it all in
there and be done with it. And you saw now
nowadays there are funds out there or fur to one
k's that have very few options. Pendulum is now swinging
back the other way. We're throwing the door open. So
President Trump signed an order on the on August seventh,
(01:59:19):
just the other day called Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets
for four oh one K. I tried to figure out
the acronym for that.
Speaker 3 (01:59:26):
There isn't one. I was looking for qt I. I
was disappointed.
Speaker 19 (01:59:29):
But anyway, this order directs the d L, the SEC,
and the Treasury to update their regulations to enable alternative assets.
This is the kind of stuff such as private equity,
real estate, cryptocurrency, private debt, private equity, private debt. By
the way, what those are. Those are direct arrangements between you, you,
one human being, and some business. There's no exchange, there's
no stock market, bond market behind it. It's just an
(01:59:51):
exchange between you and you know whoever is the borrowing
entity or taking your capital for their investment. Technology these
days allows that to happen and mass, which means it
can look to the sort of like a mutual fund,
but there are just a lot more or a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:00:05):
Fewer guardrails, if you will.
Speaker 19 (02:00:07):
So the reason they're doing this though, Brian, twelve trillion
dollars is out there in four to one case that
currently is limited to mostly stock and bond and mutual
fund type investments. Obviously, there's a lot of people out
there who want to get their pause on those dollars
to push capital endeavors.
Speaker 3 (02:00:22):
Okay, which you know crypto, you know, it's like piece
of God to me, Brian James. There's so many different
crypto forms out there, I can't keep track of even
the names. They seem to come out almost on a
daily basis. Of course, bitcoin's the most widely known among them.
And man, the price of bitcoin has gone through the roof.
But I mean, are are they really more valuable than
anything but ether? Brian?
Speaker 19 (02:00:43):
You know, I have said this before on these airwaves
and I'll say it again, and I'll say it to
my clients. Crypto has a role, It plays a role
somehow in our financial world.
Speaker 3 (02:00:54):
But to me, not yet.
Speaker 19 (02:00:56):
It's just a medium of speculation, that's all. It is,
not being I don't even call it currency anymore. We
just called crypto. Used to be cryptocurrency. Now it's just crypto.
A currency is something that gets exchanged for other things.
This is just something we own and we hope the
price goes up. That's not how it was touted to
begin with. I believe eventually it will take its role
there somewhere, because there are a lot of efficiencies and
things to be gained by doing business on the blockchain. Frankly,
(02:01:19):
but whether it's bitcoin or dogecoin or trump coin or
all of that, that's the speculative side of things.
Speaker 3 (02:01:24):
So I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 19 (02:01:25):
I'm not a little I'm significantly concerned about people again
having way too much access to this.
Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
So think about it this way.
Speaker 19 (02:01:32):
If I'm somebody who has never invested, and now I
can in my four to one K, but I never
had the opportunity, so I didn't bother to learn. If
I just go check a box that, yeah, I want
twenty five percent or fifty or worse in my four
to one k and whatever the new crypto fund is,
then I'm going to about to learn a hard lesson
about life.
Speaker 3 (02:01:47):
Well, and it sounds to me like a bubble that's
ripe to burst. Brian, Yeah, it's tough to say. That's
not the only thing that holds me back on that
is that the demand is obviously still there.
Speaker 7 (02:01:56):
I do.
Speaker 19 (02:01:56):
It's a little different from the other you know, mania
that we've had in the past, because there does seem
to be some utility to it at some point. However,
we are not yet using it that way, and really
our leaders aren't talking about it that way.
Speaker 3 (02:02:09):
Yeah, you can't go to Kruger and pay your bill
with crypto, right.
Speaker 19 (02:02:12):
They don't want it either, because they don't want their
unerceivable to bounce, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:02:15):
And the widely fluctuating value of any cryptocurrency in terms
of its market value, like thirty thousand dollars per coin
on bitcoin, and that could change tomorrow, it could be
worth fifteen thousand. How do you judge the value of
any given transaction with an ever fluctuating, widely fluctuating market.
Speaker 19 (02:02:31):
It's again, all any investment is is the product of
an auction. That's all the stock market is. What does
everybody think it's worth right now?
Speaker 4 (02:02:38):
Today?
Speaker 3 (02:02:38):
Your house isn't an auction. Somebody will pay something for it.
What is the something?
Speaker 19 (02:02:42):
Cryptocurrency changes twenty four hours, seven days a week. The
other thing I'll throw out here for those of you
who might be excited thinking about this, remember, if you're
dipping your toe in the water dip your small toe,
because even if this goes the wrong way on you,
you will not get to deduct the loss because it's
tax sheltered already inside your four oh one k ooh.
Speaker 3 (02:02:58):
Valuable point from Brian James. Real quick here, we won't
have time to dive on really deeply. But is the
market that competitive for employers out there hiring people that
they have to offer all these different extra options beyond
just for one K match and some some medical insurance apparently.
Speaker 19 (02:03:13):
So we've got some companies out there offering some pretty
pretty crazy things out there.
Speaker 3 (02:03:16):
So there's there's the typical, right.
Speaker 19 (02:03:18):
So Amazon will cover ninety five percent of tuition for
in demand career training. Starbucks does similar, Walmart target They're
they're all helping people get higher educations. That's not too crazy.
That's been out there for a while. But we're now
starting to see things such as surrogacy, adoption and fertility
support out there. This isn't a bad thing, it's just
it's an interesting step that we're taking Morgan Stanley into
(02:03:38):
a Deloitte or some of the names on that list.
Speaker 3 (02:03:40):
Here's a crazy one. Some of the fintech.
Speaker 19 (02:03:43):
Providers out there, these these are the these are the
sort of West Coast kind of out there technology companies.
Mortgage as a benefit, so home buying, education, interest rate discount.
So in other words, what they're doing is what is
scaring the pants off of people, and then let's try
to offer that as some kind of a some kind
of a benefit to work here. And of course this
is happening in well, California, because that's where people are
(02:04:04):
most scared of thee Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (02:04:06):
Who can afford a home in California? And of course
something Joe Strecker gets paid vacations with a stipend company
retreats music festivals. There you go add it to the list. Well,
if competition's out there and you're gonna have to step
up to the plate to compete in the market, that's
what they're doing. Brian James Allworth Financial, appreciate your company

Speaker 3 (02:07:25):
Across the Greater Cincinnati. Oh, you're increasing the number of
locations with this merger. That's a wonderful thing now for
someone who's been banking with Emory, and I love it.
I can salute to you guys, it's a better way
to bank as the way I always phrase it because
I do have one of those big bank accounts, and
I know there's a distinction there. Are there going to
service is going to change for my Emory friends out there.
Speaker 4 (02:07:45):
No, absolutely not. We're with this merger.
Speaker 7 (02:07:48):
We will.
Speaker 10 (02:07:49):
We will expand services and make more products and offer
enhanced products and services going forward. So we look forward
to this merger and giving members from either Credit Union
more services and better services.
Speaker 3 (02:08:06):
So a better way to bank is going to become
an even better better way to bank. So that's good. Yes, yes,
absolutely wonderful news and will's share factors. Credit Union continue
to do the annual charity event, the golf Outing is
coming up next Monday, the nineteenth annual charity golf tournament
benefiting Children's Hospital Charitable Care Fund. What are you going
(02:08:26):
to continue doing this?
Speaker 4 (02:08:28):
We absolutely will.
Speaker 10 (02:08:30):
You know, Children's Hospital is who we provide the golf
outing for, has been such a huge part in greater
Cincinnati and we want to continue to do the golf
tournament every year to make that donation to the Charitable
Care Fund over at Children's Hospital to help those families.
So this will continue as long as as long as
(02:08:53):
I am involved in any way. The Credit Union has
done this for nineteen years and hope to do it
for night ten or twenty or thirty more well.
Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
And I always appreciate the honor of being able to
say a few words of the golfer before they head
off on their golf round at four Bridges Country Club.
So I'll be there again this year. Give my listeners
the details because it's not too late to sign up. Oh,
it is absolutely not too late to sign up.
Speaker 10 (02:09:17):
We as you said, it's on Monday, August eighteenth, so
a week from today, we'll start registration at ten thirty.
We'll tee it up and get started around one. If
you have any questions want to participate, you can reach
out to Emory directly and Shelley O'Neil can help you
over at Emory. Get signed up and play is either
(02:09:39):
an individual or if you've got four folks that want
to play, we'll take your team and happy to have you.
Speaker 3 (02:09:46):
EMORYFCU dot org is where you sign up get all
the details plus the benefits of banking with them, or
you can learn right there as well.
Speaker 9 (02:09:53):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:09:53):
I'll tell you what are there still opportunities Todd, to
have sponsorships.
Speaker 10 (02:10:00):
There are and just again reach out to the folks
over to Emory. There are a number of sponsorship opportunities
from whole sponsors all the way up to the larger
donations for lunch and other opportunities. So we would love, love,
love donations to help sponsor the golf outing and make
(02:10:21):
that a success. And and all that money goes directly
to directly to the folks over at Children's.
Speaker 3 (02:10:27):
Well before we've heart company today, Todd, do you remind
my listeners about how cool the since a Children's Charitable
Care Fund is. What is it that they do.
Speaker 10 (02:10:37):
That particular part of Children's Hospital With the Care Fund,
the money goes directly to the families in needs, so
whether that be medical expenses or maybe stays in Cincinnati
to be with their be with their children as they're
going through these difficult situations. It does not go directly
to the hospital and into the hospital's general fund. They
(02:10:58):
do a lot of great work with a lot of
other organizations that help support the greater good, but we
wanted to support individual families and folks that are really
struggling and need to be here to support their children.
Speaker 3 (02:11:10):
So this goes directly to the families the need, and
since anty Children's is a magnet from stay across the country.
But you get a lot of folks on life's margins
that come in from out of town that obviously have
living expenses as he mentioned, and other spences that they
really can't manage, but they do need the wonderful care
the Children's offers. So you're helping the charitable care fund
out deal with that, and you're playing golf and having
(02:11:32):
a good time while doing it. So Emory FCU dot org,
get signed up and I'll see you next Monday at
the event. Say you what, keep up the great work, Todd,
and I'm looking for I'm glad you're doing it every
year in spite of the merger. We will see you.
We'll see you next Monday, Brian, looking forward to it,
my friend. It's a thirty five right now. Let's hear

Yeah no, yeah, no, I'm glad you asked, Brian. Yeah,
it is it's currently underway. We have three operating elevator
base out of our four of those man elevators, so
they're slowly coming to fruition and back up and operating
and that problem fully will be resolved here very soon.
Speaker 3 (02:13:13):
Glad to hear that. So then elevator is no longer
a problem with the VA. All right, moving over, how
did it go at the Country Music vestl you head
out the VOA Park.
Speaker 10 (02:13:22):
Yeah, it was fantastic.
Speaker 18 (02:13:23):
We had an opportunity to showcase one of our mobile
unit assets out there starting Thursday through Sunday, and we
had about approximately over two hundred veterans come through through
our area and engaging us and talk with us. And
one of the things we're really happy about is we
got twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:13:40):
Five new veterans rolled in the VA healthcare.
Speaker 18 (02:13:43):
System over the weekend, but just more and more folks
that's coming. By asking questions, you know, trying to confirm things,
gave out a lot of information. But I got to say, Brian,
one of the things that you and I have talked
about for a long time, and something I've been challenged
with I'm really blessed with for the last thirty years,
is just talking with veterans. But you know there's a
lot of veterans still out there that are not enrolled
(02:14:04):
because you know, well, I don't want to take away
things from other people that need it more than me,
or somebody deserves it more. Every veteran deserves the opportunity
to use their benefits here in Cincinnati. But it was
a good time out there, and kudos to those folks
that put on that event.
Speaker 3 (02:14:20):
Had to be a lot of work, Oh absolutely, and
I'm glad you got this. Twenty five veterans signed up,
and I can't encourage my veteran audience to really consider
signing up. I mean, some I guess are priced out
of eligibility if your earnings are too high. But my
default is to sort of look at it. It's like, well,
you got paid X, but that X salary that you
made when your active duty sort of factored in or
(02:14:43):
didn't include this valuable post service benefit that you get
from the VA. I mean you think about hearing aids
and glasses and mental health services and all these things
the VA provides by way of medical care that's there
and available to the veterans for free. It's why wouldn't
you take advantage of it. He asked, yeah, no, I
(02:15:04):
totally agree.
Speaker 18 (02:15:05):
And we had that question a lot of times a
lot this weekend, and the veterans that said, you know,
I was told I was over income or I didn't
meet this kind of threshold, so you know, which will
lead into our next conversation, talk to a service officer.
I encourage every veteran to talk to a service officer
about filing a claim because you know, depending on you know,
the natural mos that veterans say have, there are conditions
(02:15:27):
that they've probably experienced later on in life that are
result from their service in the military. I was talking
to one gentleman just jokingly. He said, yeah, I was
a rifleman and he had two hearing aids in his ears. Yeah,
And I said, do you get this through the VA?
He goes, No, he goes.
Speaker 10 (02:15:42):
I got him out of the private sector, and I
distantly asked him.
Speaker 18 (02:15:46):
What he paid for him thousand, five thousand dollars five
thousand dollars each, I knew, so when I told him that,
when I told him about what.
Speaker 10 (02:15:54):
We could be doing for him, his his wife gave
him that gentle love cap on the shoulder and said, see,
I told just so. So it's things like that, and
I think a lot of veterans, as we talked over
the weekend, is they don't realize that you can have
private health insurance and use the VA, which is a
huge plus.
Speaker 18 (02:16:10):
It's a huge plus because it allows you to if
something's too expensive or something you shouldn't be paying out
of pocket for it in the private sector, you can
get that done at the VA.
Speaker 3 (02:16:21):
Yeah, you think of the massive out of pocket liability
you've got before insurance even kicks in. Hey, how about
the VA. There's a great option.
Speaker 18 (02:16:29):
Yeah, absolutely, No, absolutely, especially you know when I think
about the prescription program that we have, the you know,
especially the imagery that we do here, the eyeglasses and
the hearing aids, those big bulk expenses, and then of course,
you know you and I always talk about mental health services.
Those are big Those are big financial challenges sometimes, you know,
one of the things that you need, and we can
(02:16:51):
we can really all set and help that here at
the VA here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (02:16:54):
And real quick, some veteran out there going, Okay, you
convinced me, Where do I sign up?
Speaker 18 (02:17:00):
Yeah, it's pretty simple. You know, we have a direct
dial number, uh to our eligibility office and that number
is five one three four seven five six four nine nine.
It's five one three four seven, five six four nine nine.
It's a direct dial number. Talk to our eligibility specialist.
If you're a caargiver out there, if you're the one
that's you know, managing your loved ones healthcare, you can
(02:17:21):
call get some information, but you can't directly enroll that
veteran unless you have a power of attorney. But that's
how simple it is to get the process started.
Speaker 3 (02:17:29):

upcoming Military and Veterans Appreciation Day more with Todd Sledge

Since ANVA always looking out for the American veteran, and
of course we all have an opportunity to salute the
both active duty military and veterans with the Veteran Appreciation
Day coming up, Todd Sledge, let's talk about the details
on this.
Speaker 18 (02:18:57):
Yeah, Brian, the last couple of years I've talked with
you on your show here, and you've also helped us
communicate this Hamilton County Veterans Service Commission Appreciation Day happened
last year at a Great American ballpark and then a
group of with the Cincinnati v and others, we've been
running an event called Operation thank You, and we've actually
decided to come together and join one force this year
(02:19:21):
with a huge support, and this is a Hamilton County
Veterans Appreciation Day that's going to be happening in August
twenty third down at Sawyer Point. It's going to be
from two to ten pm on that day. Everything is
free to attend. There's free parking, there's some free food,
a lot of great music entertainment. One of the things
I'm excited about, Brian with this with Hamilton County Military
(02:19:43):
and Veterans Appreciation Day happening on that day on the
twenty third, is there's over ninety different veteran resource boosts
that's going to be there in one particular day for
veterans to come through. So if you if you veterans,
you have an opportunity to get out from everything that
you want to know about all the types of resources
that are available to families and caregivers and everybody alike.
(02:20:04):
This is a great event to do that in a
great setting down there. They'll be like I said, from
two to ten. All those boosts will be available first hand,
face to face encounters with folks. There'll be a lot
of different food trucks, there's music entertainment that goes on
throughout the day, and then it ends the evening with
a nice fireworks display down there and down there at
(02:20:25):
Sawyer Points. So folks can go to www dot hcv
SC dot org or you can just google Hamilton County
Veterans Appreciation Day. We're really looking forward to this with all.
Speaker 10 (02:20:37):
Of our partners.
Speaker 3 (02:20:38):
Yeah, it's gonna be a great event. Just chrick or
put a link on my blog page fifty five KRC
dot com son get all the info and details. Do
we need to side? Just do do veterans need to
register in advance to get the free food that's being offered.
I thought there was like a QR code that had
to be scanned.
Speaker 18 (02:20:51):
Yeah, there is a there is a sign up there
on the website for the for the appreciation event we do,
we would be it is recommended to advance and forward,
so they'll be able to do so on site. But
it just makes it easier when veterans get there and
it gives us a nice head count on you know
who's coming forward. I know, the Great American Ballpark event
that Hamilton County had last year, roughly about twenty five
(02:21:13):
hundred veterans that signed up and came through the operation.
Think you had about twelve hundred, So we're expecting a
really good crowd for this, you know, coming together. I
want to thank Orlando so Auza, you know, before he
you know, he departs from his seat. There is a
wonderful partner working with this in the entire office. What
(02:21:33):
Hamilton County has been great and they deserve all the
credit for putting this together. And we're just happy to
be a partner and share the news and be there
with all of our staff. We're going to have people
there from our caregivers, our community outreach, our Veterans Justice
Outreach program. You can enroll again, here's another opportunity two
weekends in enroll to come see us into help out.
So we're looking forward to it, and it really is
(02:21:56):
an appreciation day with the food and the music and
everything that goes on. Well, considering your characterization in the
name of the event appreciation Day, it sounds to me
like all the veterans that you can handle are welcome,
and of course all these different uh uh you know
services that are out there, the ninety booths. But are
the regular joes like ne of the world invited to
show up and show their support for the American veterans. Yeah, absolutely,
(02:22:19):
you know, we want, you know, we want, we'd love
to have the general community come there and do that
and be a part of that. You know, we also
do for our other partner with the Association of the
United States Army. They actually have cadets that have you know,
made the commitment they're going to be taking their oath
that day right there. They go down there in front
of that commander that we'll be doing that. So, yeah,
(02:22:41):
the general community is definitely welcome.
Speaker 10 (02:22:43):
Love to have you there.
Speaker 18 (02:22:44):
If you're a military guy and you want to see
some cool military vehicles and relics, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (02:22:50):
The kids love it, you know.
Speaker 10 (02:22:51):
There they get who day to come down and mister
red it. It really is a festival type of appreciation government.
But you can also get some answers and talk talk
to a lot of people with a lot of resources.
Speaker 3 (02:23:01):
Now, will there be employers there? I means employment opportunity
time for my veteran friends.
Speaker 18 (02:23:08):
There will be a couple of employers there as well.
We've had some people sign up with that as well,
you know, the folks that focus on hiring veterans and
doing things.
Speaker 10 (02:23:16):
And plus one of our.
Speaker 18 (02:23:16):
Divisions from the VA, with our Community Outreach Division, they'll
have one of their employment specialists there as well.
Speaker 3 (02:23:22):
Great employment opportunities as well as all the other services.
Sounds like it's going to be an overwhelming amount of
information and opportunities available for the veteran community. And of
course I encourage my listeners to show up just to
show your support for the American veterans in the active military.
Todd Sledge and the since any VA on behalf of
my listening audience and me personally, thank you for all
that you're doing there for my veterans out there, and
keep up the great work. And I know you're always
(02:23:44):
striving to improve things. Don't hesitate to put a complaint
in the complaint box or address whatever issue you have
with the VA. Todd and the team will do their
best to iron out any hurdles that you're facing over
the VA and getting services right.
Speaker 18 (02:23:56):
Todd, absolutely, you know I always say, you know, we
can't fix something that we're not aware of, that's not operating,
that's the way it's supposed to, and it could be
impacting another veterans. So we definitely need to know and
we want to know when we do that and makes
things better for our folks.
