with Jack Winsor on the failure of the House to

Sturbage running for Secretary of State. He was in the studio.
I like that guy. He's got some good ideas and
he has very laser focused on his principles and his ideas.

(03:46):
council members and may have to have Pervoll, along with
Police Chief three Strategi and City Manager Cherylong all got
together to discuss crime in the city of Cincinnati see
if they can't figure out what they can do to
help try to curb the crime, violence, the the youth
running amok in the street. Of course, the curfew came
up quite a bit, so the unanimously adopted have to

(04:06):
have Provoll's motion calling for a review of several different strategies.
So I guess we need to vote to table the
discussion to hurrumph over it more down the road at
some point. At least that's a takeaway I got. I
could be wrong on that. Cheryl Long said her office
is likely make some recommended changes to clarify some of

(04:29):
the motion's language and ensure it's logistically possible for the
insane Police Department to follow up on it. Long said
the Police Department and Police Chief Fiji are still conducting
an internal review of the policies and procedures and how
those fit with any new ordinance that may be passed,
any new ordinance that may be passed. If you don't
know what the ordinance is, you don't have language and

(04:49):
what the ordinance is, what it's supposed to do, how
can you make a determination about how anyway? Logistics Apparently
a Fiji implied that curfew enforcement may not be the
only change to curb youth crime in the future. See
the problem is they're no longer enforcing curfew the way
they used to and it's interesting statistics posted by David

(05:11):
Ferraro over the Cincinni Acquiring Thanks for reporting on it.
The way things used to be with curfew enforcement and
the way things are now, there's been a sort of
a societal change in how we view curfew and know
and whether we hold these children responsible for criminal activity
or just pick them up and put them in a

(05:31):
youth center or something. Anyway. Fiji, for her part, says
she's still aggressively pursuing some kind of parental accountability initiative.
Maybe that's the ultimate key. I don't know how you
legally get the parents involved, but maybe if there's a
history of the child being out after hours and committing crimes,
parents have knowledge of that, you can charge them with

(05:52):
some measure of responsibility. Because they have a known recidivist
child that they're not watching or taking care of, or
otherwise holding accountable within their homes, there may be a
legal way of getting at the parents for not well
minding their own children. Fiji said she's been working with
the city's law office to determine what that initiative could
be or what form it would take. I will admit

(06:15):
from an attorney perspective, it is a bit complicated issue
there holding parents accountable for what their young people are
doing at night. She also mentioned stolen firearms, a lot
of them from vehicles. Please, please, please, if you're going
to keep a firearm in your vehicle, make sure it's
in a safe that's affixed, like within the trunk space
or something, or bring it inside with you when you

(06:36):
leave your car. Anyhow, she claimed that stolen firearms are
very much a concern, particularly when it comes a youth crime, because,
of course, as she said, every time a firearm is
stolen and increases the risk that it's being used, and
as shooting her homicide. Yeah, G did acknowledge. DG. The

(06:57):
data show some of the crimes being committed by juveniles
in the city have taken place in hours of the
night that of course would be subject to curfew restrictions
which are still in place. Credit to Felicia Jordan reporting,

(07:18):
our first look does indicate there are some specific neighborhoods
in our city that the youth disorder is occurring after
curfew hours. All right, She's honed in on specific neighborhoods.
In other words, it's not happening everywhere. It's predominantly in
specific neighborhoods targeted law enforcement. She said, if the curfew

(07:39):
enforcement is implemented, she wanted it all year round instead
of just and focusing primarily on Friday and Saturday evenings,
which makes sense, but year round as opposed to just
the summertime, which I guess is what the focus is
with the police department in summertime hours of course, because
the kids aren't in school, but makes you kind of
scratch your head and wonder if some kids are roaming
around the street to three o'clock in the morning on

(08:01):
a school night, that they're actually going to school anyway.
Another main focus for many of the council members whether
a violation of the curfew by a minor would result
in here we go criminal charges on their record. Manager Long.
City Manager Long said that in a perfect world, she
would prefer a system where law enforcement took children violating
curfew to what they call a curfew center that would

(08:26):
operate as a safe space to keep the kids out
of harm's way while providing them with education on why
their behavior was wrong okay, And from there the parents
would be contacted to come pick up the child or
the children, or alternatively, the child could stay at the
curfew center until a guardian could be reached. Courted Long,

(08:49):
the main goal to make sure kids are in safe
places during the overnight hours. And I kind of laughed
a little bit on that one. The kids that are
out violating the curfew, I think, aren't they the ones
that represent the criminal challenge to the rest of the community.
Aren't they the ones that have been labeled as the
ones target Are the ones like causing the most problems anyhow,

(09:16):
Council Amika Owens, it sounds like it's a step in
the right direction because we're not approaching it in a
punitive way. We're approaching it in a holistic way. Yeah,
this whole idea of criminalizing or giving children a criminal record,
that's the sea change we've gone through. That used to happen,

(09:38):
and it doesn't anymore because we don't want to label
a child and give them a record and have that
follow them around the rest of their life, even though
they're the ones that did violate the law. Beyond curfew
informentive enforcement. Another topic expanding the banks twenty mill in
over policy to other areas of downtown. Now, you recall

(10:02):
that the businesses at the bank's fund current security details
for the area that surrounds those businesses so people can
walk around with their drinks in the Dora area. It's
exclusive to twenty one in older folks. But now they're
talking about additional funding options. When asked, City Manager Cheryl

(10:23):
Long said there is a possibility the business owners may
ask the city to use taxpayer dollars to fund the
expansion of the twenty one plus era area. Owen said
what Mika owens, what I'm open to is if a
business has impacted as a result of violent crime disruption,
being a good faith partner in that I think requires

(10:44):
public private investment. We see it in all other things too,
and I don't think it should be any different. So
at some point, your taxpayer dollars City of Cincinnati taxpayers
are going to be used to fund additional law enforcement
in certain areas. So the banks we'll get extra special treatment,
extra law enforcement officers which they're currently paying for because

(11:05):
it's their businesses being impacted. It'd be like you hiring
a private security guard to hang out on your front
porch to prevent people from I don't know, doing whatever
around your home. Your home, your expense. That's the way
it currently is around the banks with these business owners.
Now it's being suggested that city taxpayer dollars be used
to increase law enforcement presence in the bank's area. All

(11:30):
the other neighborhoods are scratching their head, going, well, wait
a minute, what about the crime in my neighborhood. Don't
I deserve extra police or private security details? Maybe just
asking for a friend five seventeen Hang on, I see
namster Garam sir, I just looked up and saw your
on the line. I'd love to take your call, but

(11:51):
I am out of time in this segment by at
least a couple of minutes, so we'll be right back
after these brief words. This is fifty five KARC and
Iheartrate Happy Thursday five one three, two three talk. Let's
go to the phones, got new Hamster Gary Online. Gary,
thank you so much for holding over the break there.
Welcome back to the fifty five CARC Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Brian, I was enjoying your government could never be a
poor replacement for a parent or a inrresponsible parent. That
government could never replace that.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Never, never, And isn't it crazy? You know all the
all the societal problems that are created as a consequence
of poor parenting, and we always look for government solutions
for that when the key is literally at home, and
I know there's it's it's it's a challenge and not
everybody's a great parent, find but so much of how

(12:44):
we lead and live our lives is really is the
consequence of what mom and dad taught us and the
guidance they provided to us, and then the absence of
any of that guidance, care, concern or love you in
with some really really toxic people out there.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Hey, what I really called in for, though, is there
is a very good article on the Daily Wire. It's
absolutely horrifying and it involves all of us, whether we're
in it or not. You know, it's organ donor network program.
Absolutely horrifying. The stats are incredible. You know, hearts are

(13:24):
going for two million dollars livers or one million dollars.
And the Trump administration just did a big investigation on
the procurement Transploint network and found out of three hundred
and fifty one cases that were tried, thirty percent we're
showing cognissant response. That is, they were still showing neurological responses.

(13:48):
And out of the three hundred and fifty one, twenty
eight we're still alive. And the article also goes into
talking about people who were cognisant own much that they
were actually saying no, and they actually woke up in
the dissection and harvesting of their plant, their their organs,

(14:12):
and died hours later. And there's actually a case of
several people who were cognizant alive and they survived the
dissection because the doctor stopped and is absolutely horrific. And
here's the here's the bigger thing. You think you remember

(14:36):
when you've got your driver's license, they would always ask
if you're if you want to be an organ doner.
I was an organ doner, Sure, why not everybody was?
And then they how they honor this and all that.
But here's the bigger thing. Back in two thousand and six,
they changed it from a from an opt out opt
in to an opt out the only way. That's why

(14:59):
they don't ask the question. You're automatically in the program
once you get a driver's license.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Well I had never heard that, and I am kind
of struggling with the concept that the state has some
sort of claim to your organs as an automatic opt in.
Whether there's some legal challenge. Yeah, I can't commentate. I'm

(15:27):
a voluntary organ doner, so I'm not worried about what
you're referring to. And of course, if they did something
along those lines, it would be thoroughly actionable. The family
members could sue the hospital for you know, probably punitive
damages for harvesting organs from people who aren't dead yet.
So you run a huge risk if you're doing that
so whatever I've heard this claims over and over. I mean,

(15:50):
my entire life, I've been hearing that, don't be an
organ donor because they'll, you know, they'll take extra steps
to not you know, treat you or try to cure you,
just so they can harvest your organs. You know. Maybe
I'm naive, maybe I'm gullible. I like to think I
don't live in a world like that. But if someone
can use anything I've got in my body after I'm dead,

(16:11):
I don't need it anymore. So please have at it
and make your own life a better thing, because I'm
dead and don't need it. Five twenty five, fifty five
KRSD Talk station. I have to read the article. I'm
not familiar with the research that was done where they
got their statistics and information. But if what you describe
to me actually happen, and it's been documented, then I

(16:32):
see a very clear cause of action right there against
whatever medical clinic or hospital engage in that kind of activity.
It's basically murder. Five to twenty five. Right now, stick
around with local stories. Alternatively your phone calls, which I
always prefer to be right back fast approaching five twenty nine. Here,

(16:53):
if it's five kr CD talk station Friday. Let's go
to the phones' see what Tom's got this morning, Tom,
thanks for calling. Is always welcome back my friend.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Hey, go morning.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
How are you doing today? I'm doing pretty good. I
guess all things considered, you know, close to we're one
day close to a Friday, which puts a smile on
my face.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah, kind of cool. This morning, walked out, walked out
of the house to go to the truck and blow
thehold of family. A deer out in the backyard. Oh yeah,
there looking at me. And I tried to get a
couple of pictures, but it's awful hard to do at
at five o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
We got them all over the place. It's been a
fortune and deer scram Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
See you're you're reading the weather report. Sounds like it's summertime.
So yeah, it's just miserable. It's just miserable out there.
So yeah, we had a reprieve a couple of days
ago when he visited it down. I was able to
do some stuff outside without getting totally drenched with sweat.
But you know, it's it'll it'll be. My advisory starts
a little before Memorial day and it ends October first.

(18:01):
That's why the advisory. It's just not out there. The
reason I called this morning. Anything I want to mention
was the all that that curves you down in Cincinnati.
Oh boy, that's just gonna pick everything. Uh, let's let's
not worry about dealing with anybody that caused it any problems.
Let's just let's just either make a new rule or

(18:22):
or or take this rule and adjust it. Oh, that'll
solve everything. These people down there, they really don't know
what they're doing. They have no clue on how to
deal with crime and problems for the community. They just
they want to get up in front of cameras and
they want to make a statement and have a photo off,
and and they really don't have a cool there. I mean,

(18:43):
obviously they're Democrats, so that's pretty much a given. But
I just I don't understand why it's so difficult for
people to say, you know what, you're breaking the law.
You're going to jail, you're gonna be in trouble, We're
gonna do something to you because you broke the law.
There's there's consequences for your bay. Now let's let's just
say all you kids under eighteen, you got to be

(19:05):
in the house by ten o'clock. There you go, problem solved.
These people are absolutely stupid, and the people that are
more stupid are the people that vote for them. Don't
vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Thanks Tom. He always arrives at that conclusion. However circuitous.
The journey may be five point three, seven four nine fifty,
five hundred, eight hundred eight to two three. You talk
found five fifty on at and t phone.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah. With regard to this this curfew enforcement continuing a theme,
I started out the morning show talking about that meeting
essay with Cincinni City Council, the police chief and city manager,
and the mayor. According to David Farrar's reporting from The Inquirer,
since its introduction in the mid nineteen and mid nineteen ninety,
Cincinnatis had a curfew for people under the age of

(19:51):
sixteen after ten pm, sixteen to eighteen after midnight meeting.
You can't be unaccompanied in public areas after those hours.
Very easy to understand. That's report of the enforcement is
ebbed and flowed over time. Officers in the early two thousands,
they said, used to conduct curfew sweeps sometimes picking up
over one hundred utes in one night.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
HM.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
However, enforcing curfew is described as difficults they manage to
share along said they're looking to ways to make it
easier to enforce and quil rights. Part of the issue
might be how the violations are handled in juvenile court.
Before twenty twenty two, curfew violation heard unofficially and considered
an unruly charge in the eyes of the court. According

(20:43):
to a spokesperson for the juvenile court, if the same
child had a second curfew violation, he or she was
in violation of the court order not to violate curfew,
and then the court could hear the case officially. But
by twenty twenty two, courd to the spokesperson, a nationwide
change pushed back on criminally charging miners for repeat violations

(21:07):
of ordinances that aren't against law, the law for adults.
So if you're treating children the same, that's not fair.
Just sounds like a fairness argument. We can't label these
unrulely children with a repeat violation criminal charge. It would
be bad, it would be on their record forever. I'm
sure this is part of this enlightened view of law enforcement.

(21:30):
The curfew begins being enforced again. Council members stressed through
the meeting yesterday that it would not be about arresting children,
which isn't that what the curfew is for anyway. When
as during since a council meeting whether the children in
violation of the curfew would be charged with a crime,
City Manager Long said she didn't have the answer to
that yet. She's working with the legal department to figure

(21:52):
that one out part along it's plans, including reintroducing curfew
centers where the city could take the miners who are
out too late. They would until their parents would come
and get them. Now, we had these back in the
nineteen nineties. The cord of the Inquirer after the plan
in nineteen ninety four to established citywide youth curfew. Part

(22:12):
of the plan involved extending hours at rec centers in
Evanston and Price Hill. Curfew violators brought to the centers
staffed by wreck workers and AA Sin Saint police officer.
But the Inquiry reports criticism by city police in the
years following that over the costly monitoring of the curfew
centers and that fewer than four percent of juveniles picked

(22:34):
up on curfew violations were even brought there resulted in
their closure. So they've done this exercise before and apparently
it didn't work. Inquiry reports that years later, after an
uptick and gun violence concerned residents in the summer twenty fifteen,
the idea of this resurf fits. Then police Chief Jeffrey

(22:56):
Blackwell proposed the plan that involved once again enforcing the
city's youth curfew and opening curfew centers and districts four
and five. Any teenager breaking the curfew Thursday through Sunday
would have been brought to the curfew center and then
parents would be called to pick them up. Weeks later,
the plan ruse revised, cutting out the curfew centers. City

(23:17):
manager of the time Harry black told the inquired communities
were uncomfortable with the idea. You draw your own conclusions
on what the hell that's supposed to mean, because I
have no idea.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yesterday, Long said the newly proposed curfew centers wouldn't be
at rec centers because she doesn't want the children to
have a negative association with them. Oh, that's the place
where they take the curfew violators. All right, Okay. Hours
of operation outside of curfew hours would be the normal
rec center hours when it's a fun, enlightening place to

(23:49):
safe space to enjoy and have some fun. After the
correct center closes in the evening hours, that's when it
becomes a place to take the curfew violators. I think
we can draw a clear distinction between the hours of
operation of what goes on there anyway negative association. During
the discussion about the curfew of the city council, meaning
Vice Mayor jam Mischelle lemon Kearny said, when the curfew

(24:10):
has been enforced in the past, residents have complained that
it hasn't been enforced evenly in all neighborhoods, which takes
me back to the prior article about this. Apparently, at
least according to the police chief, there are hot spots.
There are areas where this is a more of a
problem than others. Our first look does indicate that there

(24:34):
are some specific neighborhoods in our city that the youth
disorder is occurring after current curfew hours, So we know
where the major violations are happening. The hotspots recurring at
the same spots over and over again, and that's where
the police law enforcement might want to show up to
enforce curfew. And yet that's not even enforcement in all neighborhoods. Well,

(25:00):
not even enforcement all neighborhood because apparently it's not happening
in all neighborhoods. MS Kearney six five thirty six fifty
five k see the talk station stack, Oh stupid coming
up or your phone calls. Maybe you can analyze this
for me and explain it to me, because I'm a
bit confused right now. I'll be right back by forty
one fifty five KRCD talk station Friday Eve Dave Williams

(25:23):
tax Payer Text Alliance at seven oh five. Corey Bowman
running from Air of the City of Cincinnatian Studio at
eight oh five. He also will be talking about the
uh the crime related issues that were discussed yesterday in
the specialist Ince SAT Council meeting and Jay Ratliffe. Of
course I heard me the aviation expert every Thursday at
eight thirty uh five one three, seven, four, nine fifty
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk

(25:45):
Let's dive into the stack is stupid. I don't know
if I'm an old school guy or what beauty is
in the IB holder. Some people like full frame, I
mean from a guy perspective women like I think about women,
and I am not a full frame kind of guy.
One of the reasons why I'm so happy and I
outkicked my coverage with my life. Patit little things she is.

(26:05):
But anyway, some people like the body mod Some people
think having a giant bottom is worth spending money for
plastic surgery on. And I know that goes on, but
it does come with some risks. As we turned the
first stack of stupid this morning, Chelsea Robinson, a self
proclaimed model and businesswoman, apparently enjoys plastic surgery procedures and

(26:27):
has a lot of them done, having spent over one
hundred and forty thousand dollars on various cosmetic procedures. She's
only twenty nine years old, and some body image issues there,
at least from my perspective. Sorry anyway, I booked a
flight to the Dominican Republic from London in twenty nineteen

(26:48):
to get a butt implant procedure. Quarter to the reporting
the New York Post, the Caribbean known for offering more
affordable yet skilled procedures compared to the United States. During
an interview, Robinson recalled the traumatizing story of how her
plastic surgery went wrong. She said, when I got back

(27:09):
from the Dominican Republic, I went to the gym. I
was squatting in the gym and I felt something. My
leg went all tingly and I felt something come out.
My implant was hanging. Described as rare but definitely possible.
It's normal for butt implants to shift around as you

(27:30):
use the muscles in the area. However, if they moved
too much, it could be a cause for problems. According
to Westlake Dermatology quote, excessive implant shifting is typically caused
by a tissue pocket that is too large for the implant,
which leaves room for the implant to shift. Shifted implants
gives your buttocks an unnatural shape and require revision surgery

(27:53):
to properly place and secure the butt implant. So I
grew up in a time when women complained about their
butts being too big and they wanted to get make
them smaller. The concept of making your butt bigger is
just foreign to me. Anyway. She ended up having to
spend eighty five thousand dollars on corrective surgeries to fix

(28:16):
her bottom, and further in the article more problems related
to butt implans. Beyond moving around, patients also have to
be aware of a side effect of butt surgeries, that
being specifically a stinky smell. Doctor Eric Anderson from Chicago

(28:37):
blaze based impressions, face and body. I guess the cosmetic
surgery facility the BBL smell is real, often described as
musty or sour. To cause of the side effect are
not keeping your bottom clean and more fundamentally, tissue death
or fat and necrosis. According to the doctor, when there

(29:00):
is more fat in an area than the blood supply allows,
the fat will die through a smelly process called fat necrosis,
which can lead to infections and need antibiotics, hospitalization, and
even sepsis translated even deaf. Great, I'm gonna sign up
for that. Maybe be prudent not to go to someplace

(29:21):
where you're where you're getting a surgery like that at
a discount. That's kind of red flag there, Doctor Fred Pack,
Doctor Megan Frew, the dynamic duo of dentistry. Get a
great dentist, you're gonna have a great dentist. You're gonna
want to go to the dentist. And I've got a
great dentist, Doctor Pack, And I know doctor fru is
an outstanding dennist. Because my listeners keep telling me about her,
she is apparently amazing. I'm doctor Peck, You're not in jeopardy.

(29:44):
I promise I'll continue to come see you for my
regular dental appointments. Outstanding clinic. Doctor Peck has just been
always at the forefront of all things dentistry for the
benefit of his patients. But he also is one of
the best cosmetic dentists ever. One of only three fellows
at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in the entire
state of Ohio, heat has performed life transforming smile makeovers.

(30:05):
If you do not like your smile, you may have
the benefit of the cosmetic dentistry and you are in
the best possible hands with doctors Peck and doctor Frew
offering her fresh perspectives. She's working on her accreditation with

On a flight from Sarasota ended up blowed. They landed
in jail. Investigators said they received a complaint from a

(32:02):
flight attendant at a Jet Blue flight out of John F.
Kennedy Airport in New York to Sarasota. Happened on the
nineteenth this month. Flight attendants said several children and their
mother witnessed Christopher Arnold, forty two, and Trista Riley, forty three,
engaging in sexual activity during the flight party over. Apparently

(32:24):
they didn't make it into the bathroom there. Sean didn't
get to the bathroom now out in the open. Sarah
Sotamnathy Airport Authority police arrested arnold' reilly from Danbury, Connecticut
after the plane landed, now facing charge of lewd and

(32:45):
lascivious exhibition jail records so that they had been released
on their own recogning since scheduled to be arraigned on
the fifteenth of next month. You know, I I might
remind folks, I don't recommend you going into the bathroom
to accomplish that feat airplane bathrooms notoriously disgusting and filthy.

(33:11):
Just throwing it out there, looking out for your hygiene.
Go to Shreveport, Louisiana. Shreeport Police Department is aware of
the pictures circulating around social media involving one of their
police cars being washed at a car wash hosted by
a local strip club. Department issued a statement, this is

(33:35):
not the image we want representing our department. Statement released
yesterday after Larry flint Hustler Club posted on Facebook a
picture showing several women washing a Shreveport Police Department squad car,
along with a statement. As a token of our appreciation,

(33:56):
all police officers receive five dollars admission every day at
Larry Flint's Hustler Club, stream Port. When you're off duty
're just taking a break, We've got your back. Come
on in, enjoy the night with us. Let us show
you some love for all you do. Exclamation point officers
in uniform will receive a complementary non alcoholic beverage out

(34:21):
came the statement, our officers are held to a high standard,
both on and off duty. We expect to remember this
department exercise sound judgment. It'll hold the values in foster
the public trust. We will support the community engagement in
terrible efforts. The setting and optics of this particular event
are not in line with the professionalism we strive to maintain.
We have identified the officers involved. I guess the ones

(34:42):
that pulled in their squad car to get the wash.
The behavior and behaviors such as this will be addressed.
Mayor's officeition to statement as well saying the city fully
supports the chiefs leadership. We support Chief Smith in its
efforts to the whole officers accountable and take appropriate disciplinary

(35:04):
action when behavior does not reflect the standards of the
department and the expectations of our community. On Tuesday, the
club posted something similar, offering a discount to Shreveport firefighters
and EMS personnel. This time the post included a cartoon
drawing rather than actual photos, although I imagine the Hustler

(35:28):
Club probably had actual photos of the EMS vehicle getting
a wash down. They just didn't want to get anybody
in trouble because they liked the repeat business. Coming up
at five efty sixty five KRCD talk station, Feel free

Looking forward to one hour from now, Dave Williams from

of his favorite topics, know not the streetcar, the post

the free market is, and finally new recycling regulations. That's
what Dave Williams. Coming up in an hour two hours.
Fast forward to eight oh five, we'll get Corey Bowman,
mayor old candidate he is. He'll be in studio to
talk about the crime problem that was discussed in since
a city council exploring enforcing maybe curfew enforcing curfew the

(36:38):
way they used to, although not with any criminal charges
in connection with it. They're concerned about, I guess labeling
children or something. Anyway, they used to enforce the curfew
pretty heavily. I mean it's one report from the enquir
I think it was the you know, pulled in like
one hundred youths in an evening, and some quite a
few years ago. Anyway, Kurfy's been in affects I guess

(37:01):
the nineties, and they just don't bother enforcing it, and
I've heard a lot of complaints with the police officers.
It seems pointless to enforce it because there's no repercussions
ergo that leg of the criminal justice system, punishment and
deterrence not there. So Corey Bowman on the solutions if
he has any to the crime problems in downtown Cincinnati.

(37:23):
I heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliff a variety of

Something I saw that was really disturbed by this and

(37:48):
immediately thought of the Democrats during the Trump administration talking
about Trump putting people in cages, the whole southern border
situation and the problems that Trump was dealing with and facing.
He was the one that wanted to build a wall,
and that was the object and the subject of a
lot of contentious debate. We don't need a wall. We
need a wall. We just need to change our enforcement

(38:11):
our immigration laws. Know we don't. We just need to
enforce the ones that are on the book. You remember
the same old story, but a whole lot of criticism
he'd done on Donald Trump for the way the migrant
population was treated and the children and all that well,
low and behold. During the four years of the Biden administration,
of course, we had the wide oven borders. We all

(38:31):
are painfully aware of the number of small and often
unaccompanied children that were coming into the southern border as
poor children, the victim of all kinds of abuse, sexual
and otherwise, and where they were placed. There seems to
be some big question mark living around over how where
these children ended up, and the fact that a lot
of them fell off the radar. Well. Apparently, last week

(38:55):
the House Committee on Homeland Security had a hearing in
which it was discuss us how these non governmental organizations
are still working to help inadmissible illegal aliens undermined federal
immigration law to the Trump administration. This according to a
Homeland House GOP release. Mike Howell, described as president of

(39:16):
the Oversight Project, Ali Hopper, founder of an organization called
Guard Against Trafficking, and Julio Rosas with Blaze Media all
testified during the hearing. During the testimony, they revealed the
Biden administration allocated six billion with a be in funding
and grants to non government mental organizations through the Department

(39:39):
of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, among others,
six billion dollars going out to non governmental organizations. They
all testified about these unaccompanied children being handed over to
the non governmental organizations at the border. Mostly those organizations
would then pass the children and off to how they

(40:01):
described it as poorly vetted sponsors, resulting in more than
three hundred thousand children unaccounted for at the border. Representative
Michael Gass Republican talking about a specific enngy. You get
a load of this funding. This is one of the

(40:22):
more corrupt elements of this. Not only do you have
the corrupt reality of an open border and the radical,
radical change in the landscape out here within the population,
the makeup of the population change. You know, we have
all these concerns over the criminal elements because a lot
of countries emptied out their jail. So you know a

(40:44):
multitude of problems of allowing having open borders, plus the
weight on the social welfare safety net that it places
on it. But that we were funding, and I'm sure
to the delight of the people who run these ungovernmental
organizations and patting their salaries with this money that's being
shelled out. So I guess when you're hiring a non

(41:06):
government organizations, it's an admission that the government itself cannot
deal with the influx of all these unaccompanied minors. We
need an organization to do it. Here. Let me hold
my hand up. I just created one. We're here to
help children. Okay, here's a check anyway. Representative Michael Guest
said quote in twenty twenty, Endeavors, one of the non

(41:27):
government organizations Endeavors is his name, reported fifty two million
in revenue. In twenty twenty one, they reported six hundred
and fifty eight million in revenue, a six hundred million
dollar increase in one year. Ninety seven percent of that
money came from you, the American taxpayer, via the federal government.

(41:49):
In twenty twenty two, they reported one point one eight
billion dollars, ninety seven percent of which came from the
federal government. He said, you talk about how executives for
Endeavors patted their pockets, that with this increase in revenue
comes to an increase in salary, that the compensation for
the CEO doubled. You know, when you hear someone say

(42:15):
we're a nonprofit organization, fine, that doesn't mean you're not
paying your your your principles. The CEOs and the CFOs
boatloads of money heads of nonprofit organizations quite often make
you know, six seven figures. It's not surprising that this
is actually happening. You're getting a billion one point one

(42:36):
eight billion dollars to provide to provide, you know, resources
for these unaccompanied miners, and as it turns out, they
really weren't. Yeah, you're gonna pad your salary, how the
money was being used by the federal government to protect
women and children's good question described as a shocking moment.

(42:57):
Representative Ellie Crane, Republican from Arizona, mentioning Miss Hopper, he
asked her what safeguards were put in place to protect
vulnerable unaccompanied children. Her response quote, post placement welfare checks,
which consisted of accord to the reporting, two phone calls,

(43:22):
and if the sponsors didn't answer quote her words, the
case was no longer followed up on close quote. She
then testified, how about a Notice of concern hotline? This
is really disturbing where people could report problems or concerns

(43:43):
with the unaccompanied child's safety. Now, remember, these are going
to poorly vetted families, Families that may have nefarious ideas
about how they're going to treat those children, Families that
might not really care about the children. They are being
compensated to take care of that little tot, but how
well they take care of it? I mean, going back
to the whole problem. We got a curfew problem in

(44:03):
the city of Cincinnati. There's a whole lot of parents
out there that don't care that they're sixteen year olds
running around at three o'clock in the morning in downtown Cincinnati.
How much do you think these poorly vetted families care
about these unaccompanied miners who have been put into their homes.
Good question. They didn't do any damn follow up notice
a concern hotline people could report these problems. From August

(44:26):
twenty twenty three to January twenty twenty five, sixty five
thousand calls into this Concern hotline went unanswered. Sixty five thousand. Now,

(44:49):
some of the complaints, they say, were things like concerns
about the food, but many calls were about abuse of
the children. They pulled out one illustration a case where
a child complained they'd grown men were coming into his
room at night and touching him unaddressed, unanswered concern. I'd
say that's a big red flag. According to Miss Hopper,

(45:14):
testifying at this hearing last week, the Trump administration has
at least gone through the sixty five thousand unanswered calls,
made follow ups, and did welfare checks. And as to
that latter illustration, apparently that child is now safe anyway.
I guess it took a change of administration to even
give a wit about what happened and is happening to
these unaccompanied miners who are somewhere in the ether of

(45:37):
the United States. Representative Crane asked about the ease with
which people could sponsor a child. He suggested it was
like adopting a dog. Miss Hopper said, no, actually, it's
harder to adopt a dog, requires more paperwork for a
pet shelter than it was required to sponsor a child.
Isn't that rather alarming? Described as one of the more

(46:04):
shocking moments, Representative Crane Asthma's Hopper how many staffers were
assigned by the administration to answer the calls on this
Notice of concern hotline. Her response one one. Meanwhile, that
above reference non governmental organization saw a six hundred million

(46:25):
dollar year over year revenue increase between twenty twenty and
twenty twenty one, followed by another four hundred and fifty
million increase in twenty twenty two. Republican Representative Carlos Yumenez
had this to say. One of the greatest failures in
American history, I believe, was not keeping track of children.

(46:45):
And it wasn't like the folks that sit on the
other side of this aisle weren't made aware by people
sitting on this side of the aisle that it was happening,
referring to the Republican Democrat division on this and they
Democrats failed to do anything or speak out again, and
really this atrocity that was happening to children coming through
the border. This hearing is about the enrichment of certain

(47:07):
NGOs and their part in this tragedy. But also one
thing that we haven't talked about is not only that
this administration, Biden administration enriched a lot of these NGOs,
but the billions of dollars that flowed to the Mexican
cartels through human trafficking, and all of it was done
on purpose. Because you can't be that stupid. You can't

(47:32):
be that dumb. In other words, you can't put your
head in the sand and know this kind of thing
was going on. Democrats are painfully aware of it. Their
administration was in charge of all things border security related.
They're the ones that hired the NGOs that were supposed
to keep track of these hundreds of thousands of illegal
undocumented children coming across the border. They're the ones that
were supposed to answer the damn phone calls to the

(47:52):
notice of concerned highline. They weren't, he concluded, And so
the Biden administration lost track of three hundred thousand children,
probably lost track of millions of other people migrants in
the United States. Is they're being trafficked all around, some
indentured servants, the children being indentured servants, and even worse

(48:13):
in sex trade. This has to be one of the
biggest scandals in American history. Well, subjective conclusion on what
is the biggest scandal in American history? And as Summer suggesting,
maybe it was the Obama administration's endeavored to well basically
undermine Donald Trump's presidency. I've heard that referred to as

(48:36):
one of the biggest scandals in American history. But this
is obviously obviously a reflection of massive fraud, waste, and
abuse with non government organization spending not following up on
what the money was accomplishing. In other words, hey, we
gave this Endeavors group one point one eight billion dollars

(49:00):
in calendar you're twenty twenty two. Did anybody follow up
and find out what they're doing over there? Anybody six
eighteen fifty five K City Talk station, Jay, you are next?
You don't mind holding for a moment. I want to
mention Foreign Exchange because you know, I love saving money.
If I can get a better good or service and

(49:20):
spend less money on it, that just puts a smile
on my face. And that's what you get at Foreign
Exchange rather than going to the dealer. If you have
a traditionally imported car Asia or Europe, or if you
own a Tesla, you need to get it into Foreign
Exchange where they will service that car to your satisfaction
and you will pay less money than the dealer, and
quite often a lot less than the dealer. That's what

(49:41):
it's all about at Foreign Exchange. As certified Master Technician,
I'll be working on your car. You get a full
warranty on parts and service. Nothing to worry about there.
Why not if you're going to save a heapload of money,
that's the place to go in The Westchester location is

you need a loaner. They've have access to loaner cars

back to the Morning Show and a happy Thursday to you.

Speaker 8 (51:47):
Hey, Happy Thursday, Brian, Hey, fantastic job on that last
segment talking about the NGOs and kind of filling this
in as you always do.

Speaker 9 (51:56):
The uh.

Speaker 6 (51:56):
You know.

Speaker 8 (51:57):
The one thing about these NGOs we don't want to
forget it that they don't exist because the federal government can't.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Do the job.

Speaker 8 (52:05):
They exist because it's part of the Democrat money laundering machine.
Give give a billion dollars to Stacey Abrams and how
much comes back in the Democrat Party. Same with the
war in Ukraine. And if there's one thing the Democrat
Party can't ever be guilty of, it's having any concerns

(52:26):
about children, whether they're born unborn. What's one hundred thousand
kids If we can at police, the taxpayers well worth it.
And every time there's an election, and we wonder why
is it we're being outspent we as conservatives Republicans do
we how is it we're getting out spent like ten
to one?

Speaker 4 (52:48):
This is the answer. Give money to follow the money.

Speaker 8 (52:53):
And you know there has been sixty million children Americans
aborted since eight so we think that several hundred thousand
illegal immigrant kids are going to keep any Democrats.

Speaker 6 (53:08):
Up at night.

Speaker 8 (53:09):
They're evil and whatever you do, don't vote Democrats. Tipped
my buddy Tom.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Thanks Jay, appreciate it. Yeah, And maybe that's one of
the reasons why they don't ever oughdit the money. They
don't follow the money. The money goes out to the
NGO for a stated purpose like Sesame Street in Iraq
or something like that. So Ango grabs that money and
probably pays their their CEO maybe three four hundred thousand
dollars a year with the money so you got your

(53:38):
own little, you know, built in revenue stream there. As
you're running the NGO, do you actually do something to
accomplish the goal that you're getting the money for. That's
an outstanding question that exists. But where does all of
that money go? Ultimately, after you pay the salaries, you
got some leftover. Does some of it end up back
in the Democrats pockets? Do you think there's a little

(53:58):
nudge and a wink there when the money goes out
the door? Do you think the organizations are chosen based
upon their political leanings, that the money based upon their
political leanings would likely end up back in the hands
of one political party or the other. I think we're
all reasonably jaded and cynical enough to you know, follow

(54:19):
Jay's point, which is, yeah, I bet a lot of
this money does come back into the hands of the
Democrats to fund campaigns or ad streams or political action committees.
It makes perfect sense, and maybe that's why the Democrats
were pulling their hair out over the DOGE cuts. To
us aid they had it sounded like the stupidity to

(54:40):
run around and get all offended over the idea that
we were going to quit funding you know, shrimp on
treadmill research in China or something. You're really gonna die
on that one? Is that the hill you want to
die on. Democrats, you want to defend that kind of
money going out the door. No, maybe the reason they
were so upset about US cutting USA was for that reason.
We just discussed that a lot of the money that

(55:01):
went through USAID ended up back in their own hands.
Sounds a bit conspiracy conspiratory. I a conspiracy theorist or
along the conspiracy theorist line, But it all seems to
make so much sense, and there's so little accountability. We're
left to legitimately wonder whether that's exactly what happened. Six

Sean Hannity Morning Minute.

Speaker 10 (56:36):
All of these people that have been involved and what
was the polluting and altering and this dissembling of this intelligence,
they're going to have a hard time getting out of it.
Because it seems to me my analysis and I want
to see all the information before I come to my
final conclusion is that they purposely antled this information that

(57:02):
was put together by the intelligence community ordering a reassessment
because it didn't have the conclusion that they wanted. The
fact that this is that this declassification is saying it
came directly from Barack Obama. Yeah, that would warrant him
going before Congress and maybe a prosecutor and answering serious question.

and took him to the hospital. At that time, Alarria
Police Chief James Welsh that it was not known if
the suspect died by officer gunfire or a self inflicted gunshot.
Earlier reports of a second suspect at large, but Failing

(01:01:50):
said that there was only one. Thirty searched the woods
out of precaution. Alaria police handling the investigation Department is
also called on the Ohio View of Investigations for assistance.
Governor Mike DeWine had this to say, been briefed on
the horrible officer involves shooting in the rain, which appears
to have been a targeted attack on law enforcement. Brand

(01:02:11):
and I are praying for the three. Lorraine Police Department
officers who were shot in the line of duty, and
our thoughts are also with their families, friends, and fellow
officers in Northeast Ohio. Situation reminds us that those who
work in law enforcement risk their lives every day for
the safety of their communities. We are so very grateful
for the men and women who willingly and bravely serve
and protect. Jeez, anybody notice a trend out there and

(01:02:37):
this kind of thing happening more and more often six
thirty five fifty five krc ME talk station disturbing trend?
I might interject, not disturbing QC Kinetics. You having a
problem with joint pain, me pain, hip pain, back pain,
arthritis pain. Maybe you've been through the steroid shots. Maybe

(01:02:59):
you've been in a cyclist steroid shots. Maybe you're talking
to your doctor about surgery. That's the next step after
the steroid shots. Shots aren't doing you any good, but
they don't last anyway, right, so yeah, it's time to
get surgery. How about getting the second opinion about something
that doesn't evolve surgery or more medication? No going under
the knife. It's QC Kinetics leaders of what they call
regenerative medicine. These are treatments like advanced cellular therapy and

(01:03:21):
platelet rich plasma which placed at the site of the
pain help your body heal itself. This goes to the
root of the problem. The cellular treatments contain growth factors
and healing properties to maximize your own body's ability to
heal itself. And they've got a crazy ninety two percent
patient's satisfaction result. That's that's it's incredible. So if you're

(01:03:43):
one of the ones experience in this kind of pain,
it's worked for a lot of other people apparently, So
why not take them up on the offer and call
them up for free consultation? Free? I love that word.

Dave Williams after the top of the air news multiple
topics to talk about and go over with him. Corey
Bowman Meyrill candidate Bowman in studio at eight oh five
talk about the crime statistics in that CINCINNT Council meeting
yesterday where they were searching four ways to prevent a
lot of it related to the juvenile crime that's going on.

(01:04:29):
Curfeuse discussed quite a bit yesterday at the council meeting
Jay Rattler at eight thirty for the I heard Media
Aviation Expert Report of the Week. I always loved talking
to Jay Rattler and yeah, I know, Maureen, I saw
that and Marine forwarded me some information I wanted to

(01:04:49):
get to anyway, So why not at her prodding in
the has to go ahead and do it right now. Yesterday,
Telsea Gabbert well, of course of doubling down on the
White House Press briefing, saying that Obama administration promoted what
she called a control I have narrative that the Russians
interfered with the twenty sixteen election, saying there is irrefutable
evidence it details how President Obama and his national security
team created, or directed rather the creation of an intelligence

(01:05:13):
community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it
would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the
twenty six the election to help President Trump win, selling
it to the American people as though it were true.
It wasn't. Okay, here we go, interfered to help Trump.
That's the story they made up, at least insofar as

(01:05:35):
the Tulsa Gabbadge concern. They made it up. There's evidence
to suggest there's a lot of documents she released showing
the intelligence community didn't have any information saying that the
Russians interfere with the election. They specifically said they didn't
alter any votes, they didn't manipulate votes, they didn't do
any hacking into our election voting machines. In other words, Now,

(01:05:58):
that's one form of interference, and that one specifically stated
in one of the documents that originally came out. It
didn't say they didn't try to manipulate the American public
by via social media or other types of interference. So
that's one of the arguments the Obama side is making. Oh,
that was just one report. It related only to you know,
interfering with actual votes. But they still interfered, the narrative

(01:06:18):
being they interfered to help Trump. Now maybe that's not
the case, because she released Tulsea Gabert did a second
batch of documents that had previously been undisclosed came out yesterday. Now,
among those documents a declassified report Presidential Briefing in twenty sixteen.

(01:06:44):
December Presidential Briefing twenty sixteen, Barack Obama was provided information
that sort of suggested pretty strongly that the Trump want
orn that Russia wanting to help Trump narrative was not true. Now,
court to this newly declassified document, Russian intelligence obtain DNC

(01:07:08):
communicy Democratic National Committee communications. Now we all know they
hacked into the DNC database, so Russian intelligence got these
communications that showed, among other communications they presumably had, Hillary
Clinton's health was well described as extraordinarily alarming. Quote. According

(01:07:30):
to the report, as of September twenty sixteen, the Russian
Foreign Intelligence Service had Democratic National Committee information that President
Obama and party leaders found this state of the Secretary
of Clinton's health to be extraordinarily alarming and felder could
have serious negative impact on her campaign election prospects. Her

(01:07:55):
health information being kept in strictest secrecy and even close
advisors were not being fully informed. That's within this report,
the Russian Foreign's Intelligence Service possessed DNC communications that Clinton
was suffering from quote intensified psycho emotional problems, including uncontrolled
fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness. Sounds like bipolar me.

(01:08:19):
Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers,
and while afraid of losing, she remained obsessed with a
thirst for power. The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service also had
information that Clinton suffered from type two diabetes, as semic
heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

(01:08:40):
in the report. Now, why might that be important? The
Russians had this information, If they're trying to help out Trump,
why wouldn't they release it. People release these kind of

(01:09:03):
documents and information all the time. If it would, and
that would really really go against her If that kind
of information was leaked out, of course, it would give
Trump an advantage. But if Vladimir Putin wants to have
the goods on a future president, if he wants to
be able to maybe blackmail them or bribe them, or

(01:09:23):
otherwise get his way in some negotiation with the Russians
in the United States, wouldn't having this information in their
back pocket to be used at a future date help
them out? Because from all I've read, they were kind
of of the mind that Hillary Clinton was going to
win the race. It wasn't until that email server thing
came out and the on again, off again investigation into that. Really,

(01:09:46):
I guess put the nail in the coffin for Hillary Clinton.
But it is a logical and reasonable way of looking
at this information from the side of the Russians to say, hmm,
should keep this information in our back pocket for further use.
But if they really truly wanted to help Trump win,
this is the kind of thing that the American public

(01:10:08):
would have eaten up. So that's kind of where that
is right now. So, yes, Maureen, I was aware of
that one. I go ahead and pull it out. Obama
camp is, of course pulling their hair out over all
this thing. It's all a bunch of nonsense. Six forty

Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, who returns after
the top of the air News got some good topics
talk about with Dave. Trump lost in court again and
then he's win some and you lose some. The other day,
President Trump's executive order about ending birthrate citizenship shot down

(01:13:02):
in federal appeals court yesterday, Knight US Court of Appeals
in San Francisco from the lower Court's decision that blocked
the nationwide enforcement of the executive order denying citizenship to
babies born to people illegally or only temporarily here in
the United States. Three judge panel two to one vote,
so the District Court Judge John Conauer's decision is in

(01:13:27):
place or remains in place. Court a majority of the
District Court correctly concluded that the executive order proposed interpretation
denying citizenship to many persons born in the United States
is unconstitutional. Now. As for as far as the Supreme
Court goes, it did issue restrictions about to lower courts
about issuing nationwide injunctions, although notably they did provide a

(01:13:51):
carve out for like class actions. If there's a whole
bunch of similarly situated people sprinkled all across this land,
you can certify a class action, and then you can
have an injunction from a district court that covers the
entire all the entire country, and apparently that's exactly what
they concluded in this particular case, because there very well

(01:14:12):
could be children born to illegal immigrants in any given state.
States filed the case against Trump administration after arguing the
nationwide order needed to block the executive order in order
to prevent problems that would arise from birthright citizenship being
outlawed in some states but not others. Yes, that will
be a logistical hurdle, judges wrote, we conclude that the

(01:14:36):
district court did not abuse its discretion in issuing a
universal injunction in order to give the States complete relief.
That issue here the citizenship clause of the fourteenth Amendment,
which states people born or naturalized in the United States
or subject to United States jurisdiction. That's in there our

(01:14:56):
American citizens. Department of Justice attorneys are arguing that does
not mean children are automatically American citizens based solely on
birth location. So Trump administration now while facing additional lawsuits
in connection with this, but most likely will appeal to
the US Supreme Court up to the Supreme Court to
decide whether or not they're going to take it and

(01:15:21):
no to the Department of Justice in terms of unsealing
Epstein documents, federal judge ruled yesterday denying Trump's Justice Department
efforts to unseal Jeffrey Epstein's grand jury transcripts from a
Florida investigation. Florida based District Judge Judge Robin Rosenberg, described

(01:15:42):
as an Obama appointing, said the Department of Justice didn't
justify unsealing the records related to the grand juries down
to West Palm Beach from two thousand and five to
two thousand and seven. So Justice Department has separately asked
a New York based judge to unseal grand jury records
related to Jeffrey Epstein's sexual trafficking cases. Those related to

(01:16:05):
the twenty nineteen grand jury indictment charging Epstein with sex
trafficking offenses and the June twenty twenty grand jury indictment
of Julane Maxwell with numero offenses related to the trafficking
coorsion of minors. So no idea about how the New
York judge is going to do it, but one law, Well,
it's actually two losses if you consider both of those
reports to judicial losses for the Trump administration. Can't win

(01:16:28):
them all, but maybe appeals. We'll change the landscape on that.

Welcome back to the Morning show, my friend. It's always

(01:17:36):
a pleasure to having you on the show.

Speaker 11 (01:17:38):
Good morning, Brian, and I have a question for you
to start off the show. The Washington commanders are looking
for subsidy to build a new stadium, right yep, So
in Washington d C. We have now a stadium subsidy
and a street car. So I'm trying to think of
the trifecta here. What would be the third thing to
make this just trifecta of wasteful and unnecessary spending, because

(01:18:03):
I know Cincinnati has the same right, they have subsidies,
they had the streetcar, and I can't think of the
third one to make it a trifecta.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Oh, I don't know, how about some green energy project?

Speaker 9 (01:18:12):
There you go, bingo, you got it. Okay, we had
the trifecta of.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Government waste stupid. Yeah, and I'm glad you chose you
one of our favorite subjects, streetcar. You Aubreity already mentioned
that we always managed to get the street car in there,
even with the only passing reference stadium deals. You and
I talk about that a lot over the years. And
you know, our Ohio budget has six hundred million dollars
going directly to the Cleveland Browns for the purpose of

(01:18:37):
building their two point plus whatever billion dollar projects. So
how that ended up in the Ohio taxpayer's budget is
beyond me. It really irks me, but there it is governed.
He is a lineight in Veto, And what he did
was line item Veto's three or four issues that it
would have been baby steps in the right direction to
providing the Ohio property owners with some measure of relief

(01:19:01):
for property taxes. He struck all those out of the bill,
and yet he stilled allowed six hundred million dollars to
go to the Cleveland Browns. There, I got it out
of my system, Dave. So, But moving over top top
five anyway, list of our favorite topics over the years.
The post office. So let's let's talk about the post office.

(01:19:22):
That's an efficient, well oiled business over there, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:19:26):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:19:27):
It sure is.

Speaker 11 (01:19:27):
Sarcasm noted they just raised the cost of first class
mail again, went from seventy three cents to seventy eight cents.
And I mean, I'm going to sound like, you know,
one of those old guys, but I remember when it
held fifty five cents.

Speaker 9 (01:19:41):
It doesn't seem like it was too long ago. That
was fifty five cents.

Speaker 11 (01:19:44):
And here's here's the kicker is that they're not making money,
is that they keep on losing. And we're not talking
about a little bit of money. We're talking about billions
of dollars. A year, and they keep on raising prices
and it's not working. The Aaron Liza problem is that
they raised the prices and it's not working because the
rest of the system is so messed up. They are

(01:20:05):
spending eighty thousand dollars per truck for electric vehicles.

Speaker 1 (01:20:10):
Oh yeah, see you brought. I had a separate article
that was Olivia Murray over American Thinker did the numbers
crunching on this one, and part of the Inflation Reduction
Act allocated money to go to the post Office for
the purpose of transforming their feet into a fleet into
electric vehicles. Right, Apparently they want forty five thousand electric

(01:20:32):
battery powered postal service vehicles in this in this Grand Plan,
vehicles were supposed to be This acquisition supposed to be
completed by September of twenty twenty eight, funded by in
part is a ten billion dollar total overall cost project.
Three billion of that comes from the so called Inflation
Reduction Act, the Green New Deal Bill, right, President Biden

(01:20:55):
signed in twenty twenty two. So from that three billion dollars,
apparently one point seven billion has been distributed. It's out
the door. They have acquired two hundred and fifty total trucks,
meaning if you do the proper division or math on that,
it comes out to six point eight million dollars per truck.

(01:21:17):
And since they've only acquired a small number, they said,
at this current rate eighty three vehicles per year, it
would take the government another five hundred and thirty nine
years to finalize the plan. It's supposed to be completed
by twenty twenty eight. They can't do anything, right.

Speaker 9 (01:21:34):
No, they absolutely can't.

Speaker 11 (01:21:35):
And the Inspector General at the Post Office has been
warning about this for years and telling them not to
do this, not to buy electric vehicles because of the
maintenance cost, because of downtime, you know, just charging these vehicles.

Speaker 9 (01:21:50):
It takes time to charge the vehicles. So they aren't listening.

Speaker 11 (01:21:55):
And when you talk about the number of vehicles that
have already been purchased, I mean, this is just an
embarrassing to say the least. And there is a new
Postmaster General and hopefully you know he and he just
started I think last week. So yeah, let's see what
what this guy can do. And so his first name
is David.

Speaker 9 (01:22:11):
So I have a lot of faith, you know, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
If that's something that.

Speaker 11 (01:22:16):
Well we'll see. But there's there's management problems. There's so
many deep, deep problems at the post Office. And obviously
the glaring one is spending all this money on electric vehicles.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
I mean, it really is. But it's just one additional expenditure,
you know. I mean, if they're looking, you have an
imagery reported and you know the numbers on this. The
United States Postal Service has lost more than one hundred
billion dollars over the past fifteen years, and they're continuing
down that road currently. I guess how many billions of
dollars have they left had lost so far this year?

(01:22:48):
It's like three billion dollars, three billion dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:22:51):
And if they would end Saturday delivery, they could save
two point six billion dollars a year just in mean
Saturday delivery. That is an incredible number to think that
they could be saved easily.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Well, but that wouldn't even solve the problem. It's a
great step in the right direction. Dave Williams tax favorite
text alliance. But apparently they lost nine point five billion
dollars collectively last year alone, So yeah, save two point
five billion dollars. Let's get that figure down to seven
billion dollars in loss. That'd be a notable improvement, but
that's still seven billion dollars in loss. This is a

(01:23:29):
business model. This isn't even a business model.

Speaker 9 (01:23:32):
No, it's not a business model.

Speaker 11 (01:23:33):
You look at seasonal hiring and we're going to hear
about the post Office hiring people for Christmas. Well, what
happens with the post Office is when they hire someone
for a seasonal work, they offered them a full time
job afterwards. FedEx and ups hire seasonally and they don't
hire them full time afterwards because it's seasonal. It's only

(01:23:56):
for a few months. But because of what the unions
have done in side the Postal service is that they're
required to offer them a full time job after Christmas.

Speaker 9 (01:24:06):
And again you.

Speaker 11 (01:24:07):
Said it, it's not a business. They don't have any
business sense whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
Well, how is it the American tax payer dollars are
supporting all of this.

Speaker 9 (01:24:18):
I'll tell you what it is.

Speaker 11 (01:24:18):
There's a nostalgia about the post office, and rightly so,
because you know, you meet your mail deliverer and he's
a nice guy, she's a nice woman, right and you
have that bond.

Speaker 9 (01:24:31):
But people don't see the bigger picture.

Speaker 11 (01:24:32):
Nostalgia overtakes business sense, and I think if people really
saw the numbers and understood just how much of a
mess the Post Office is, they would really, I think,
change their view. And you know, this is an entity
that tried to get into banking. Elizabeth Warren, Oh my god,
tried to get the Post Office into into the banking.
I mean, that doesn't send a shiver down your spine.

(01:24:54):
Nothing ever will.

Speaker 1 (01:24:56):
Well, I guess I'm wondering. I mean, who's going to
be responsible for initiating some reform. I mean, if the
union contract requires these part time employees to be offered
full time jobs, that's got to stop right away. That
had to stop years ago. Why isn't that element being addressed?
That's clearly a problem, Dave.

Speaker 9 (01:25:15):
I hate to say this, but this is up to Congress.

Speaker 11 (01:25:18):
And Congress did the Postal Reform Act a few years ago,
and their big savings was taking the healthcare costs of
postal employees and shifting it over to Medicare. Well, it's
still a taxpayer cost. They thought that they were doing
the Post Office and taxpayers a wonderful thing by doing this,
but that's just shifting the.

Speaker 9 (01:25:39):
Burden from one part of the government. To another. This
is what Congress did, and the Congress needs to do this.

Speaker 11 (01:25:45):
They need to go inside the post office and completely
reorganize it. And I know when you talk about privatization,
people you know, lose their minds. And I'm not saying
privatize it, but I gotta tell you we may have
to start to look at that and maybe advertising to
certain parts of it because it just isn't working. And
they get a bailout every time they get a bailout

(01:26:06):
from taxpayer. So that's why they don't have the pressure
to make money, is they know that Uncle Sam and
Uncle taxpayer is right there to bail them out.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Going back to your comment about nostalgia, maybe I'm just
a cold and callous guy day, but I don't have
that nostalgia. Every time I go to the mailbox, I
retrieve usually what amounts about three or four pieces of
junk mail. Maybe three times a week I get some
sort of mail that actually is important in some way,

(01:26:37):
shape or form. Now I could go electronic billing. When
it comes to say my cell phone, I like getting
the hard copy of the bill. My wife has paperwork
to do for reimbursement from work, so you know. But
I don't really even need that delivered. I could have
it go to my email. I could pay it online,
and I do pay the bill online. I don't stick
a stamp on an envelope and send Verizon a check.
So I've cut out half of the mail needed for

(01:26:58):
that transaction. But in the final analysis, you know, if
the mail showed up one day a week, that will
be a Okay. I get all my junk mail. I
can sort through it, throw it away because it goes
directly into the garbage, can recycle and pull out the
stuff that really is important. I mean, the times have
obviously changed so dramatically. The need for the post Office,

(01:27:19):
well of its current size anyway, has gone the way
of the DODO.

Speaker 9 (01:27:24):
It has.

Speaker 11 (01:27:25):
And when you see other companies that go through and
I said other companies, you know my mistake. But when
you see companies go through this, they downsize, they change
their business model exactly. The Post Office has not done that.
They do the same thing over and over again, expecting
a different result.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
All right, which is why they lost one hundred billion
dollars in the past fifteen years. We'll continue with taxpayer
protection lines. Dave Williams got well, the energy industry. Apparently
the Grand Ole Party has forgotten what the free market is.
They tend to do that from time to time. We'll
get that information from Dave seven to fifteen. Right now,
get affordable imaging services now been in New Richmond, they

(01:28:01):
got more than one office. Now right at the Ohio
Indiana border. Get X rays, X rays from Affordable Imaging service.
You know what they cost? Seventy five bucks. I'll go
back to that. CT scans my favorite illustration because five
thousand dollars at a hospital. If I emphasize that enough,
probably pay extra for the board certified radiologist report. No,

(01:28:21):
don't do that. Save literally thousands and thousands of dollars
because a CT scan without an enhancement or out of
contrast is only four hundred and fifty bucks at Affordable
Imaging Services four fifty MRI four ninety five. So whether
you're a New Richmond or off Route thirty two on
icol Troad getting it done, you're gonna save tons of money.
You have a choice when it comes to your medical care.

(01:28:42):
So for echo cartograms, MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds, and X rays,
go to affordable imaging services. Keep that money in your pocket.

rich portions of the country. Now that sounds typical Politico.
They're obviously on the green side of the ledge. They're
rather left leaning rags. That website is and I consolt
political all the time in order to get some balance
in my consumption of news, Dave, So I'm no stranger.
They're reporting on political but I know where they're where

(01:29:52):
the wind's blowing from Politico no pun intended, right, But
apparently what they say is in order to proceed on
land managed by the Department of Interior. They have to
have the personal assent of the Interior Secretary, who is
currently Doug Bergham. So they're placing the authority to thumb
up or thumb down any given project on Department of

(01:30:15):
Interior lands to one man.

Speaker 11 (01:30:18):
Yeah, so read between the lines and read the lines
on this one. And this is very disturbing because listen,
i'mni fan of green energy, especially the subsidies. But you know,
as a country, this is all of the above. If
you want to invest in green energy, if you want
to develop green energy without my money, without tax payer money, you.

Speaker 9 (01:30:38):
Should have the ability to do that.

Speaker 11 (01:30:40):
And what this is is the government picking winners and losers.
And this is something that Trump administration has done a
lot of actually picking winners and losers in the economy.
And this is not going to help.

Speaker 9 (01:30:51):
Now.

Speaker 11 (01:30:51):
Listen, if they said that we are not going to
subsidize any of these projects, amen, brother, Yes, do not subsidize.
But that's not what they're they're saying is that we
are not going to allow this because we don't like
these particular forms of energy. That really bothers me. It's
just weaponization of government.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
Yeah, and you know, Dave. I think everybody has to
bear in mind that we do have changes of administrations,
and while we're all seen to be quite pleased and
happy with the way things are going on, into the
Trump administration, there could be a Democrat elect in an
office and the Department of Interior may no longer be
run by Interior Secretary Doug Burgherm. He could be run
by Interior Secretary or I don't know, Pete, but a judge.

(01:31:30):
So they would be inclined to approve any wind and
solar projects without any additional scrutiny I suppose and say
no to perhaps oil or fracking projects that are done
in that land.

Speaker 11 (01:31:41):
And Brian Darren lines the problem because at the Federal
Communications Commission we have them approving or disapproving of mergers
and acquisitions based upon DEI. Again, no fan of DEI.
I think it has no place in business. But if
a business wants to do that, that.

Speaker 9 (01:32:01):
Is their business.

Speaker 11 (01:32:02):
The problem is that you were having the government is
saying you have to get rid of your DEI policies
or I'm not going to allow you to merge with
these two companies. Well, again, what happens in the next
administration if it's a Democrat and they say, well, you
have to have DEES policies in.

Speaker 9 (01:32:19):
Order to acquire this.

Speaker 11 (01:32:21):
So this is going to bite them in the back
end at some point, this weaponization, and it really bothers
me that they're doing this. And you know, Brendan Carr,
who's the chairman of the SEC, has done a really
good job deregulating.

Speaker 9 (01:32:34):
But this is very troublesome.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
It is. And I understand all day along the points
you're springing from here, Dave, but it and just to
hammer the point home, if private business A wants to
merge with private business B, then my belief is the
federal government shouldn't have anything to say about the terms
of conditions of what that agreement is. I mean, unless
it falls into perhaps Sherman antitrust, realm or some thing

(01:33:00):
along those lines. What's the problem with letting them merge.
Why would you have to say you can't do this
or you must do this in order for us, the
federal government to put a stamp of approval on the merger.
It's a shocking illustration of how much power and control
the federal government has over completely private business.

Speaker 11 (01:33:20):
Yeah, I mean, when you're talking about two wireless companies. Merging,
we're not talking about standard oil.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
Yeah, they're not subsidized. This isn't They're not getting federal
dollars to run their business. I mean, they're just they're
just running their businesses.

Speaker 11 (01:33:34):
Yeah, and that's why, you know, I would love to
see the old Republican Party take hold as you know,
limited government, you know, and really, you know, merging and
acquisitions I think are a really good indication of just
how activist a government is. And unfortunately we see a
disturbing trend in the Trump administration. But again, you know, listen,

(01:33:54):
that's you know, prefaces by saying that it's a heck
of a.

Speaker 9 (01:33:57):
Lot better than it would be under a HIRISGI.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Got to put a positive spin on that. Dave, you
got to Let's do one more with Dave Williams and
taxpayer protection lines. We'll talk about some new recycling regulations,
more regulations, Oh goodie. First words, my friends at Colin Electric,
the folks with the right connections, they will treat you great.
They pride themselves on their honest reputation. They pride themselves
on the efficiency of their licensed certified electricians, and they

(01:34:22):
are good at what they do. And they pride themselves
on the price. You get great service, great price, all
the work done to your satisfaction. You will get a
ten year wiring warranty on whatever they do for you,
big projects, small projects. Everything goes with a warranty. You
can trust the folks at Colin Electric, locally owned and
operate at eight plus of the better business fear have
been around since nineteen ninety nine. So how do you

(01:34:44):
reach them? Two ways Cullin, culln color Electriccincinnati dot com.
Schedule the appointment right there. Learn more about what they
can do for you, call them up directly, and then
say Brian said Hi please five one three two two
seven four one one two. That's five one three two
two seven four to one one two. He's seven twenty
eight here fifty five kir CD talk station. Spending some

(01:35:05):
time with Dave Williams from the tax Payer Protection Alliance.
Always enjoy our conversation Dave, even though they involve important issues,
usually big big money and how it's misspent. We at
least try to keep things a little light when talking
about it. And now we're pivoting over to recycling. What's
going on more regulations?

Speaker 11 (01:35:23):
Yeah, so recycling has really come a long way over
the past ten, fifteen, twenty years, and we see just
really a renaissance in how they're able to deal with plastics.
And of course the government doesn't recognize that, and of
course the companies are bad. They're trying to pollute the planet,
which you know, I never understood.

Speaker 9 (01:35:43):
Why would you.

Speaker 11 (01:35:44):
Want to pollute and kill the people that you're selling
your product to.

Speaker 9 (01:35:47):
I don't, you know, understand the logic.

Speaker 11 (01:35:49):
But the EPA is refusing to acknowledge new ways to
recycle plastics. And you know, part of the problem is
is that a lot of blame gets placed on the
US for other countries that are doing the biggest damage.
And we've seen these you know, flotillas of plastic emotion,
and I think it's like one or two percent of

(01:36:11):
that actually comes from the US, and it you know,
the bulk of that comes from other countries.

Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
Because we have a good sanitation system. We have garbage
cans literally everywhere, they're ubiquitous. We have recycling programs. I
even have a separate recycling garbage can that Rumpky comes
and picks up. We have trash, and we have recycling. Now,
I don't believe it for a minute that those recyclables
we put in that candave are actually getting recycled. But
I try, I do my best to separate them, and

(01:36:38):
we endeavor to conform and try to keep that stuff
because I don't believe in throwing something away that has
a useful life. Now, what Rumpkey ultimately does with it
outside of my realm of knowledge, but you know, there
it is. It's easy to do. That's why we don't
pollute as much as other countries. Other countries don't even
have sewage systems.

Speaker 11 (01:36:55):
And if these companies can take plastic or aluminum or
whatever and turn it into something else, they're going to
make money off of that. Dumping it into a landfill
does not make money for a company. Recycling does and
producing something else. And you know one thing we haven't
talked about our you know, plastic bags versus paper bags.

(01:37:15):
There is a lot of scientific evidence that says that
paper bags take more energy to produce and are actually
worse for the environment than plastic bags, and yet plastic
bags are the ones that are taxed. And yeah, it's
it's incredible the lack of knowledge of science that the
government has, and I think people in general have at

(01:37:37):
this point, well.

Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
You know, and craming if I'm wrong, But I've read
so many articles over the year's dave that recycling doesn't work,
that if there was money to be made in recycling,
then there'll be clamoring out there to you know, collect
all the recyclables out there and make money off of them.
But I've consistently read though, that that's not going going on.

(01:38:00):
And it was a period of time where weren't we
sending a lot of our plastics for recycling to China
and then China said no, we don't want them, we
can't do anything with them.

Speaker 11 (01:38:09):
Yeah, there was and you know, and really China is
such a problem with a lot of things. But when
we talk about recycling or the environment, you know, they're
the ones that are never going to conform to a treaty.

Speaker 9 (01:38:21):
They're the ones that are going to you know, be
the big polluters.

Speaker 11 (01:38:25):
And again, you know, there's a lot of blame America,
and it comes with inside this country. And I got
to tell you that the plastics revolution is fascinating and
companies are coming up with new technologies.

Speaker 9 (01:38:37):
It's not you know, this isn't the seventies, this isn't
the Indian.

Speaker 12 (01:38:40):
Crime on the I remember that, Yeah, the bag feet Yeah, yeah,
we've come a long way, baby as the mixed sort
of metaphors here.

Speaker 1 (01:38:53):
So you mentioned in the article pyrolysis, it's a it's
a different process. They have some newly developed process for
recycling plastics, and the EPAS is not acknowledging that or
preventing that.

Speaker 11 (01:39:08):
Move from preventing it there, they're they're actively preventing this
and this is something that could turn plastics into into fuels. So,
I mean, it's really just short sighted of the EPA. Listen,
this is very little to do with kind of who's
in power. These are the bureaucrats that have been here
for years and that have a singular point of view

(01:39:30):
and vision, and they refuse to look outside, you know, uh,
of their own comfort zone a box, to see what
these new technologies are and what they can bring.

Speaker 9 (01:39:38):
It's it's frustrated, to say the least.

Speaker 1 (01:39:40):
Well, this process obviously exists. You have information discussing the
process and how it works, and you know the temperatures
and everything else. You also have the the the the
cost benefit that had come from this six hundred and
nine UND dollars per time after this process of plastic
is performed. So there it is. It's all there. If
I would the EPA stand in the way of this,

(01:40:03):
allowing this process to come online, I guess is what
I'm looking for.

Speaker 9 (01:40:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:40:10):
You know, if I had the answer, if I could
crawl inside a bureaucrat's head and figure out what the
heck was going on inside there, I'd be a rich
rich man.

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
They don't have to provide an explanation for why. I mean,
they can't say no, this is actually everything you say
is true. But the amount of pollutants and carcinogens that
go out into the world in the environment far exceed
the benefit from this recycling process. Airgo, We're gonna say, no,
none of that's in this.

Speaker 9 (01:40:39):
They slow walk everything.

Speaker 11 (01:40:41):
Look at the process at the FDA to approve vapes
and new.

Speaker 9 (01:40:47):
Tobacco harm reduction.

Speaker 11 (01:40:48):
They have a shot clock of eighteen months, right well,
some products have been under review for seven years. They
slow walk everything and they don't provide any sort of
a rationale for what they're doing. And that's exactly what's
happened at the EPA right now.

Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
God, it sounds like something from a Kafka novel.

Speaker 9 (01:41:07):
Yes, Yes, making blush geez.

Speaker 1 (01:41:10):

You do the same, and get in touch with cross
Country Mortgage. Bet me Suzette Loads the Camp, specifically cross
Country Mortgage. You want to work with Suzette because you
want to work with the best person in the mortgage business,
and that's her customer service superior. I hear from it
from my listeners. I heard it specifically from my daughter.
I recommend my own daughter to work with Susette Loads
of Camp. She and Eric are working with some bank.

(01:42:00):
A week later, nothing happened. They couldn't find out what
was going on. It's like, did call Susette lows Camp.
Lauren doesn't listen to the morning show, so she didn't
know to make that. It's the first step, so I'm
cutting out the problem for you. Call her initially. You'll
be glad she's working for you. Got gazillions of different
mortgage possibilities out there, license in all fifty states, and
where do we go so she can help you out?

(01:42:22):
In thirty five plus years in the mortgage business, the
best in customer service. She acts promptly and quickly. She
had my daughter and Eric's financing within like two days,
and my daughter raved about how pleasant and wonderful it
was working with Susette, and that certainly will be your experience.
So go the extra mile for you. Great rates at
a low cost, no junk fees, no application fees, no problems,
no issues ever with Suzette Low's Camp. Two ways to

fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk
pound FI fifty on AT and T phones. Uh pivoting over.
I guess you can call this another Trump win. Of course,
there's been a back and forth between the Trump administration
and various universities out there, notably regarding how unbelievably anti

(01:43:30):
semitic some of these universities are, you know that from
the river to the sea, and blocking Jewish students from classrooms,
and blocking Jewish students from getting in and out of
the library, and seemingly supporting these efforts. The universities are
if for no other reason than turning a blind eye
rather than actively engaging and stopping this type of abuse
from happening. Also DEI and and admissions practices that are

(01:43:54):
just purely racist. Columbia just reached a settlement agreement with
the Trump administration yesterday. Columbia will be paying two hundred
and twenty one million dollars and also a pledge to
reverse racially discriminatory practices as well as to resolve civil

(01:44:14):
rights violations against Yes Jewish students. Took four months of
negotiations to resolve. This thing started when the Trump administration
pulled around four hundred million dollars in federal grants. Now
that's the leverage over Columbia University. If the federal money
wasn't flowing into Columbia University, the federal government couldn't say
a whit about what Columbia University is doing. There's your connection.

(01:44:38):
It's the federal tax dollars that are going into the
institution which allows the administration to make demands on Columbia.
I'm always reminded of my favorite illustration is when Ohio
had nineteen as a drinking age. The federal government said, no,
you better raise your drinking age at twenty one. You
can't have the federal highway dollars that you're expecting. And
of course we had to capitulate to that and change

(01:44:59):
the drinking age at twenty one one because we desperately
needed the federal government's money. There's always strings attached. Now,
apparently the four hundred million in federal grants that were
pulled is going to be returned now to Columbia under
the settlement agreement. So I don't know if you can
really say that Columbia is paying two hundred and twenty
one million dollars since they're getting four hundred million back,

(01:45:20):
But I know this grants are allocated for research purposes,
so effectively this is coming out of Columbia's pocket. Twenty
one million dollars of the total is going to a
claims fund for Jewish employees who were discriminated against during
the anti Israel on campus demonstrations. This after the Hamas
terrorist attack on October seventh. We bought crazies out of

(01:45:42):
the woodwork, supporting a bunch of murderers of children and
elderly folks. Now, as part of the agreement, Columbia has
agreed to end all programming that discriminates against faculty or students.
Of course, that'll bring into compliance with the Supreme Courts
twenty twenty three decision banning race based the Firmative Action,

(01:46:07):
And they say they're going to create faculty positions to
broaden intellectual diversity. In other words, no longer a bastion
exclusively of left wing ideology Columbia is they're actually going
to hire a conservative or two, at least that's what suggested.
I wonder iful put them in their own segregated area

(01:46:28):
of campus. Oh that's the conservative building over there. You
don't want to go in there anyway. The settlement also
calls for Columbia to maintain a trained security force blocking
demonstrations in academic spaces and coordinate with the New York
Police Department to prevent anything like the takeover of Hamilton
Hall by anti Israeli protesters that happened the spring of
last year. The agreement also says the university will ban

(01:46:54):
individuals from wearing masks during protests. Admission's office is going
to be setting up the vetting of foreign applicants, which
will quiz potential students about the reason they want apply
into the US and go to a US university, and
they have to share that data with the federal government

(01:47:19):
HM as part of its participation in the federal Student
Exchange Visitor program. We've got one of those. The school
will now be expected to report any disciplinary actions for
those holding visas, including suspensions, expulsions, and arrests. So that's
the way I'm keeping tabs on those who are in
our country by permission, permission which could be revoked to

(01:47:40):
the extent they engage in problematic behavior at the university.
So this is a mechanism, of course, to enforce the
law to keep them from committing heinous acts and crimes,
things that might get them kicked out. Says The disciplinary
rules will no longer be governed by the faculty Senate,
but rather by the office of the Provost. I suppose

(01:48:07):
to the extent they have a senate body made up
of faculty members that preside over disciplinary actions. Since you're
filling the the college is completely governed by left wing
anti Israeli sentiment professors. I know I'm painting with a
broad brush the likelihood of a disciplinary action being meted
out by one of these anti israel demonstrators, probably Slim
and Nune. So hopefully this will change that and the

(01:48:32):
regional programs they have They cited specifically the Center for
Palestine Studies, the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies, Middle Eastern,
South Asian and African Studies, the Middle East Institute, and
Learning hubs in Tel Aviv and Emon, Jordan will come
under strict review from senior Vice provosts to ensure they are,

(01:48:54):
in their words, comprehensive and balanced. I specifically recall a
class I took in political signs on the Middle East
and the creation of the Israeli state, everything that went
into that, the White Papers and the Balfour Doctrine, and
all the stuff that went into the creation of Israel

(01:49:14):
post World War Two. This guy was Palestinian, and let
me assure you it was a biased class. No fan
of Israel, that guy. Columbia now also will comply with
Title nine and no longer force women to compete with
biological men in sports. Another victory for the Trump administration.

(01:49:38):
So we'll see. Trump's fight with Harvard is ongoing, and
it's not known right now whether the settlement with Columbia
will have any impact on Harvard and its willingness to
either settle or continue obstructing the Trump administration's wishes and
demands to protect the Jewish students at the University seven
forty seven. Right now, if you five krs, the talk

mean it's going to be one hundred and five out

wears the HVAC system out very quickly. Well, you get
some energy, you get some savings on that as well,
because USA's premium films takes some of the load off

(01:50:42):
that system. Because it's easier to get your house to
the right temperature, so it will last longer. Side benefit
of the monthly savings on your energy bill, which are guaranteed,
maybe so much so that you won't it'll cover the
entire monthly payment. That payment only ninety nine dollars a

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
Since Columbia's problems primarily driven by their treatment of the
Jewish students there and their well failure to protect the
Jewish students there, among other things, settling with the Trump
administration costing them two hundred and twelve million dollars to
get the federal government fund research funding pipeline open back
up again. Pivoting over what does the largest nation's largest

(01:53:06):
teacher union have against a Jewish people National Education Association.
They represent about three million public school teachers. Again, the
nation's largest teachers union issued their twenty twenty five handbook,
which outlines their priorities, which they publish this every year
as a guide on the group's priorities and strategic goals

(01:53:28):
for the association's national and state leaders, staff and members.
Incorporates anya's bylaws, updated with new resolutions as well as
policy positions. Amid this surge of anti Semitism we're dealing
with in this country, ANYA Representative Assembly, the union's parliamentary body,
passed the resolution to boycott the Anti Defamation League's Holocaust

(01:53:50):
education materials early this month. The NEA handbook also contains
an interesting change. Handbook used by the union will quote
promote the celebration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day by and
again this is their words, recognizing more than twelve million

(01:54:14):
victims of the Holocaust from different faiths, ethnicities, races, political beliefs, genders,
gender identification, abilities, slash disabilities and other targeted characteristics. Not
a single mention of the German and Germans effort to
annihilate the Jewish population the final solution. Now, I am

(01:54:40):
not arguing that others were not got into that that
there were people with you know, disabilities that were killed
by the Germans. They would rind up people that had,
you know, cognitive struggles. They would round up all kinds
of folks. Gypsies were included among them, were rounded up,
but the vast majority of people, the point of most
of it was the eradication of the Jewish people. You

(01:55:04):
don't think that there's something worth mentioning. I mean, what's
the first thing that comes in your mind when you
hear the word Holocaust? Right, gas Chambers, mass extermination of
Jewish people. And then they talk about the forced, violent

(01:55:25):
displacement and dispossession of at least seven hundred and fifty
thousand Palestinians from their homeland in nineteen forty eight during
the established and of the state of Israel, painting an
obviously one sided picture on the creation of israel. I
guess also failing to take into account the fact that
the nations who were on the other side of the war,
the losing side of the war, those that teamed up

(01:55:45):
with the Germans and for a while the Italians and
of course the Japanese. If you're in the that side,
you lost. And war was fought in the Middle East,
in World War two. I'll how you end up, Well,
did the victor go the spoils is kind of the
way I've always looked at the creation of the state

(01:56:07):
of Israel. Yeah, if you've been on the right side
of the equation, that land still may be there. Don't
a complicated issue, but there's your position from the National
Education Association. In studio Corey Bowman, he'll be talking about crime.
The meeting yesterday among Sincee City council members, police chief,

statistics that are floating around. He'll be joining the program
right after the news.

different topics in the meantime in studio again the return

(01:57:12):
to Cory Bowman Coreybowman dot COM's refine the campaign website.
He of course, is running as a Republican for mayor
of the City of Cincinnati. We got an election this November.
We do have choices. You can do the same thing
over and over again expecting a different result and you
won't get one. So let's move away from the forty
years rule of the Democrats. Maybe give a Republican a shot.

(01:57:32):
Got some great candidates other than Cordy running. Some Charter
right candidates are on the ballot, a couple of different
Republicans are running for council seats, so lots of different
options exist out there. Corey Bowman, welcome back to the studio.
My friend's always a pleasure having your own. It's always
always good being here. Thanks for having me. Brian perfect
timing on the heels of the AF to have provol

(01:57:54):
called meeting. I guess they had a special session of
since any city council for the purpose of me Oh, look,
they acknowledge that we have some crime problems. I mean
no figure. The fact that they had a special meeting
call that they had to come back from the summer
recess break because they wanted to talk about crime. I
think finally the message has gotten cleared through them that

(01:58:14):
we got some crime problems going on the city of Cincinnati, you.

Speaker 13 (01:58:17):
Know, outside of the topic that was discussed yesterday. I
was actually looking at that over the last few days
and I see that, yeah, they do have a summer
break every July and August. Usually is some time between that.
Well I don't know if anybody's aware, but during in
the city time, those months of July and August are
the months where you have the most construction, the most development,

(01:58:38):
the most need for sanitation, the most need for stopping crime.
Crime rates are through the roof during those times, and
so that just for me, I'll be stupid. No, I'll
be completely honest with you. On one of my social posts,
somebody said they finally need to come back from break
from summer break, and I thought they were actually joking,
because I'm like, we're not in school. We don't have

(01:58:58):
like summer breaks and you know, spring breaks and all
this stuff. But then I looked down, It's like, wow,
that is a part of the schedules it is.

Speaker 1 (01:59:04):
That's something we need to actually look at. It's like Congress,
you know, they hurum for a while and then they
get a month or two off, and you know, they
always have to run out of town. So, oh, we've
got things to do. It's Christmas break whatever, I understand.

Speaker 13 (01:59:16):
But for a city government, it's like some of the
most key issues that are going on that need to
be managed are during those months.

Speaker 1 (01:59:22):
That's a great observation because you know, and we all
know that it's a documented, well documented when the heat
goes up, the crime goes up, that's summertime. Yeah, we're
pretty pretty defined seasons in the city of Cincinnati. As
short or variable as they may be, we do get
times a year when it's gonna be hotter, when it's
gonna be cooler. Maybe they should change the schedule and

(01:59:42):
take their recess during some other months.

Speaker 13 (01:59:46):
Well yeah, you never, I mean obviously, yeah, you got
to look at all aspects of I'm not saying that
people don't need time with their families or breaks, but
there's major things going on in the city and these
are things that we don't necessarily need a special session for.
This needs to be something that we need to be
proactive in. I think that's one of the biggest things
that we're kind of pushing with not only our mayoral campaign,

(02:00:06):
but like you said, there's great candidates for city council.
We have Linda Matthews that's running for city council, and there's,
like you said, many Charter rights as well. This has
to be a collaborative efforts where the Democrats spot or
they basically endorsed all the cittying city council and the
mayor and so Aimboy running against. I would encourage people

(02:00:28):
research who's actually going to be on the ballot in November.
Do you research and there's some great people to have
great hearts for the city and they're going to do
what's best for the city.

Speaker 1 (02:00:37):
Yes, I would like to think so, or you know,
at least try try them out. It isn't like they're
going to be permanently elected. You've get an opportunity to
vote them ount office after a couple of years. So look,
you know what the folks currently elected are going to do,
which is really stay silent, sit on their hands, and
let mayor have to have purvol have his own way
on literally everything or you may get someone with some

(02:00:59):
different ideas. That's one of the reason why Miss Liz
Keating at least she would, you know, raise her hand
and interject into the discussion process an alternative idea.

Speaker 13 (02:01:07):
That's all we're pushing for. There needs to be differences
of opinion, There needs to be differences of thought, because
that's how we're actually going to get stuff done, you know.
To be honest with you, I think that there's people
that might even be on city Council right now that
they've shown by their voting records that they do have
a heart for issues with the city, They have a
heart for residents. We just need to have people be
able to work together that have differences of opinion, and

(02:01:30):
I think that's a huge thing that's on the ballot
this November.

Speaker 1 (02:01:33):
It is so yesterday's meeting focusing on crime, you had
posted on your page in mentioning that you're going to
be on my program this morning. Some crime statistics which
are not pretty when you look from calendar you're twenty
twenty one through twenty twenty five. I mean, there's just
been an increase every almost every single year in terms

(02:01:54):
of number of incidents in crime. You got the city
of Cincinnati overall. You've got OTR a separate category, downtown
as a separate category, in the West End as a
separate category, an area near and dear to your heart,
because that's where you live, that's where your church and
your business are. Yes, but you can't look at this
and say crime is down. I mean, looking at OTR alone,

(02:02:16):
twenty twenty one or four hundred and fifty two incidents
this year, I guess so far nine hundred and twenty yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:02:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:02:25):
And one thing before we actually get into the current
statistics right now, let's go back to actually in the
early days of June. That's when they were saying that
crime is down, crime is down, crime is down. We
were seeing that right before summer that that was what
was being said. And I want to throw this out there.
It wasn't what was just being said by the current

(02:02:46):
administration or by the city officials. It was what was
being said by the media in Cincinnati as well. The
media was covering that, Yeah, crime is going to be down,
crime is down. And I'll tell you this, anybody that
was living in the city, anybody that was living in
the downtown area, anybody that had a business knew that
there might be certain statistics that were true that they

(02:03:07):
were stating, but nothing could be farther farther from the
truth when it came to the big picture of everything.
So this is some statistics that were just at the
early June that they were mainly focusing on the homicides.
And they always when they say crime is down, their
justification was that homicide rate was down. Well, we weren't
even getting into for lack of better turn right, we

(02:03:31):
weren't getting into it, you know. So you had a
winter you had I mean, I don't know if anybody
remembers it's actually still going on right now, but the
rain was going crazy during the springtime as well, so
a lot of people were inside. But what was up
was the aggravated assaults and strangulations. If you combine those
two together, what was up was robbery. What was up

(02:03:52):
by ninety three percent if you put it to twenty
twenty one was auto theft. Burglary was up. Peron someone
other theft was up as well. So those statistics kind
of showed everybody that was actually boots on the ground
that hey, this summer is going to be a rocky ride.
If we don't do anything to kind of combat this.
And so now we look at our statistics that I

(02:04:14):
posted yesterday and we see that overall violent crime is up. Yes,
we saw a spike of the homicides, We're seeing a
spike of everything. But this isn't just about the homicides.
This is about overall. And then now their statements aren't
necessarily crime is down. I saw a post yesterday to
where the wording was, well, if you look at overall

(02:04:34):
crime based on this is what they said over the
average of three years, over the average, So they're going
to have their statistics say whatever they want. There's this
term called gas lighting, and it is nothing farther from
the truth. That is what is happening in our city.
And we need to be realistic on things, be truthful
with the citizens. Now, I'm not going to sit here

(02:04:56):
and say that government can fix everything. Actually, that's probably
one of the reasons why I'm running, is because people
need to be reminded that there is other issues personally
and that we have to deal with as a society.
But government needs to focus on its key aspects. And
for our campaign, our key things that we're focusing on
is crime, infrastructure, and spending our money properly.

Speaker 1 (02:05:18):
All right, well, how do we I mean, it's always
almost a laughable concept that you think government is going
to be able to create a solution to solve the
problem of some juvenile delinquent out there. That's that's a
home based problem. You know, you're gonna get some punk
out there that's run around three o'clock in the morning.

(02:05:38):
That's someone who comes from a home that they don't
really care to keep that kid accountable. They don't have
their own curfew rules in the house that that kid's
not going to be afraid to get his butt tanned
by the old man if he's out late and gets
picked up by the cops, if they pick him up.
So can government really solve the problem? Just sort of
you got to ask that question out loud. But insofar
as what they're considering, there was a ton in the

(02:06:01):
city and the curfew has been around since what the nineties,
and they used to actually enforce it introduce in the
mid nineties people under the age of sixteen you can't
be out after ten pm. Sixteen to eighteen year olds
you got until midnight to get home. But there was
a period of time when they were picking up, you know,
sometimes one hundred youths in one night for curf during

(02:06:21):
curfew sweeps. Yeah, now they're talking about bringing this back.
But the reason they don't do this anymore, at least
the impression I got from the reporting by The Inquirer
and some other outlets, it's this, they don't want to
label these children. They don't want to subject them to
the criminal justice system. They don't want to have a
create a record. Well, that used to be one of
the deterrents for kids committing bad behavior out there in

(02:06:44):
general public. They didn't want a record.

Speaker 13 (02:06:46):
You're exactly right, you know, they're basically saying, oh, well,
we don't want the consequences of your crime to be
the deterrent for your crime. And that's the thing is
that as a society, we have obviously the home structure,
we have parents, we have things that we have to
incurage from a community aspect. But when it comes down
to it, the last straw is you've got to meet
law enforcement. You've got to meet the law of the land,

(02:07:09):
and that can't be something to where we ignore that
just for the sake of, oh, we don't want to
put that record on in individuals.

Speaker 1 (02:07:15):
Let's pause, bring Cory Bowman back to talk about this.
Coreybowman dot com is where you find his website. You
can help him out with this campaign learn more about
what he the candidate's all about. First though, Cover, since
you'll call, you definitely want to make to save you
heap loads of money and get you better medical insurance
at the same time. Irreconcilable concepts. Right, you have better
medical insurance dollar one coverage, catastrophic coverage, you know, a

(02:07:35):
whole package of insurance that gets you in a better
place from a coverage standpoint less money. You think that's
not possible. Just ask the experts at Cover SINCI Just
why I always say you initiate the conversation. Talk to them.
Let them look at where you are. The last few
bunch of different questions. You know, yeah, are you insuring children?
Are you married? Where are you your life? Any health

(02:07:56):
issues out the whole nine yards, and it's probably going
to be that you are paying too much for too little.
They're on your side of the table. They are your
insurance broker. There's hundreds of insurance companies out there, there
are thousands of medical insurance policies. They'll sip through all
of them to find you the best possible place you
can be couples hundred sixty five. They typically save them

(02:08:16):
maybe five hundred to one thousand dollars a month with
better coverage sound appealing, no obligation to you, does not
cost you a nine. They will not sell your information
to anyone, So confidently call them to find out if
they can do this magic for you. Five one three

Station Bryan Thomas with Corybaum and Corter Boman for Mayor.
We all appreciate and fully realize it's an uphill challenge
for Republican to get anywhere in the City of Cincinnati.
But someday the residents of the city Sincenni might wake
up and for the fast four decades and not doing

(02:09:03):
real well by way of city management maintenance, you got
pension problems, you got crumbling infrastructure, you got failure type
prioritize projects, current administrations all in for all these green
projects and dictating and edicts and mandates over all the
neighborhoods on how they can reconstruct and how they can
build Connected Communities program foisted on every single neighborhood. Then

(02:09:24):
ask bond Hill and Hyde Park about how they feel
about the waivers that were given by the city council
in spite of what the residents want to do special
projects for well connected developers High Park that got a
lot of people off their butts and out getting that
campaign signed to get that Reverse eight signature. And I
say every single one of those this happens to all

(02:09:45):
the neighborhoods. You have a potential voter in any given neighborhood.
Anybody out there who is upset that the City of
Cincinnati foisted connected Communities on their neighborhood, depriving them of
the options for development, you should vot for Corey Bowman.

Speaker 6 (02:10:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:10:01):
I mean so, if anybody's listening, I know that we
say that there has been a Republican that hasn't run
for mayor in over sixteen years, haven't had a Republican
mayor and it's almost fifty years that it's been done there.
When it comes to this election, I'm telling people that
this campaign is run on city issues and every time
that I look at these issues, these are not red

(02:10:22):
or blue issues. You will not see this campaign dive
into national politics because this is a campaign for Cincinnati
and there's real issues that impact the city residents. And
whenever I have a one on one conversation with people,
I've had conversations with people that they say, we vote
blue no matter what, this is exactly what we do.

Speaker 1 (02:10:41):
We're always going to be a democratic party.

Speaker 13 (02:10:43):
When I have a one on one conversation with them
about the issues, not about the national politics, we always
find common ground and we always see that we all
have the best heart for the city. And that's what
needs to happen this November.

Speaker 1 (02:10:56):
Well, that's how firmly in entrenched the propaganda campaign is.
If people do not regularly pay attention to politics, and
then which allows them to be capable of coming up
with their own conclusions about the propriety of whatever council
or the mayor does. Like wait a second, I've been
following this issue and what you're trying to do does
not address the problem. You got to do something else.

(02:11:18):
If you pay close enough attention to politics, you can
see through that indoctrination campaign that says I got to
always vote Democrat. That's your one on one conversation going
right there. Once you get into the weeds and you
talk to someone with common sense, logic and reason, they're like,
you know, you're right, Corey, You're all right, and that
other person was wrong, provol or whatever.

Speaker 13 (02:11:39):
Well, this is what I can't get over, Okay, because
there was a stabbing that happened at the beginning of
June of Patrick Harringer and his wife, Sarah has been
overwhelmingly vocal about what is happening to our city right now.
Wasn't until that happened that these issues, these special sessions,

(02:11:59):
these special programs were addressed with so much publicity that
they are right now.

Speaker 1 (02:12:05):
Yesterday's meeting was a consequence of her exactly.

Speaker 13 (02:12:08):
This is my question to the city Council and to
the mayor right now, because I'm being told repeatedly, and
I hate thinking this way, because I'm a pastor and
we see everybody the same. I've been told on this
campaign that the black community won't vote for you, the
black community, that the Democratic Party is the one that
takes care of them. I'm telling you this right now,
why on earth didn't they care about the black children

(02:12:30):
that have been murdered on our streets Up until early June,
they only made their voices clear whenever somebody on social
media was being loud about it. From a stabbing that
was happening in OTR with the Hyde Park issue, they're
being vocal about it right now. But what where were
they when it happened in bond Hill? Where was it when?
Where were they when it happened in West the West

(02:12:51):
End or in Avondale. Whenever these communities are affected, they
don't say anything because it's just this is what happens
with city government. But whenever people are alloud enough and
have the resources to back it up, that's when they
get proactive about it. And that's the thing that we
have to realize is that this is an election season.
They're going to say whatever they can to get elected.

(02:13:12):
They're gonna put whatever statistics out that they can to
get elected. But these people do not have your best
interests at heart. And we are running this race because
my business, my church, and my residence now is all
within the West End. We hear the gunshots every night.
We care about these kids. We care about these communities
and we have practical solutions to fix these problems.

Speaker 1 (02:13:33):
Well, and you know what, isn't it interesting that no
one has made a racial allegation over this Sarah Herringer thing.
A white woman has lost her white husband, white business
owner in over the Rhine. She squeaks, she's the wheel
that gets the grease. And look they're acting. They form

(02:13:53):
a special council meeting, they call in to talk about
violence in the city because she's out there engaging in activism,
bringing all of this crime to everybody's attention. What of
all the black families, what of all the black children?

Speaker 13 (02:14:05):
What about the veteran that lost his life in North
Side the week after because all the officers were deterred
to OTR instead of College.

Speaker 1 (02:14:14):
Hill Another great point. So, yeah, this is what we see.
Maybe we could say councils racists. They don't care about
the black community, they don't care about the black neighborhoods
or the black victims.

Speaker 13 (02:14:22):
Just like what Sarah's saying, that it's all about optics
instead of the outcomes, it's all about being reactive instead
of proactive. We're gonna look ahead, We're gonna look at
the real issues that are affecting our city. Guess what
me as a community leader, I don't have to move
downtown for only one or two weeks to see what's
going on and then return back to my house. That's

(02:14:44):
where my family is, that's where my business is, that's
where my church is. We see it every day and
that's why we're fighting for the city. Corey Bowman dot com. Corey,
always appreciate your enthusiasm and I'll keep pulling for you
and hopefully, I'm sure you and I be talking again
between now and November, probably multiple times at least, I hope.
So help Cory out and again look into the other

(02:15:05):
options you've got out there. I mean, Lord Almighty got
some great options other than the current slated Democrats. So
you know you do have something other to vote for,
and it may very well serve your best interest. A

I heeart media aviation expert Jay rat Left, Jay Ratlift,
Welcome back, my friend. Always enjoy talking to you.

Speaker 6 (02:18:20):
Good morning. It's it's a meme stock week. You know
the memes are backs.

Speaker 1 (02:18:24):
Oh I read a couple of articles about that.

Speaker 14 (02:18:26):
Yes, yes, yes, just leave them alone. Krispy Kreme open
door Coles. Yeah, they've been flying up. That social media
frenzy is what drives them up. And Brian A few
people make a great deal of money, but most everybody
else loses and loses a lot. So you see the headlines,
just avoid that emotional tug and leave it alone because

(02:18:48):
they're good they're not good news.

Speaker 1 (02:18:49):
Isn't it the case that once you see it in
the news, that's whatever meme stock is going through the roof,
that you've already missed the opportunity, and if you invest
any money in it, you're going to be in a
trajectory in terms of your return.

Speaker 6 (02:19:03):
That's about it.

Speaker 14 (02:19:03):
Because it's a pump and dump for a reason, and
that's exactly what happens. And you know, you hear your
friend bragging about how much money he made, which may
or may not be true, and you feel like you've
missed out. So even though the stock's up, you know,
four hundred and eighteen percent, you know, Brian, it could
go up more.

Speaker 6 (02:19:20):
So I'm going to put money in It's right.

Speaker 14 (02:19:21):
No, no, no, no no, it's just that fear of
missing out, that emotional it just tug. It's just too
much for some people, and you just walk away and
leave them alone. I remember Game Stop four years ago
that was trading eighteen nineteen dollars a.

Speaker 6 (02:19:35):
Share, and it's peaked a few days later.

Speaker 14 (02:19:38):
It was five hundred and some dollars in pre market
before it just came crashing down.

Speaker 6 (02:19:43):
It's just it's insane. Just just leave the alone.

Speaker 1 (02:19:47):
Yeah, And I guess the key is knowing which mean
stock is going to pop and buying it before it pops.
Who's the insider that knows the answer to that question?

Speaker 6 (02:19:56):
That's why, that's who the sec would be talking to.

Speaker 14 (02:20:00):
I guarantee that when your stalks manipulate, manipulate the price
of a stock. But it's a lot right now. I mean,
forget the meme stocks. We have so many stocks right
now that are at all time highs and continue to
push higher. The question is, you know, how much further
can these stocks go before there's some sort of a
natural pullback that we see in stocks. And I'm not

(02:20:24):
one of these individuals that, you know, get on people
too hard, But you know, when they go after stocks
at all time highs? Do they do that with anything
else in their life? Do they go buy cars but
only if they're high enough? Or clothes? No, they got
to be a little bit higher before I buy those.
I understand we're talking about investments, but the whole bit
is it's it's totally different than what we look at

(02:20:45):
on any other type of purchase. It's going through the roof,
and we still want to buy it instead of waiting
for there to be a pullback and then buying it
at a discount making a great deal of money like
Warren Buffett and so many others do well.

Speaker 1 (02:20:58):
Daytrade fun dot com where you find Jay Ratliffe you
can learn how to trade stocks and avoid the pitfalls.
And I'll probably get an email maybe an hour or
so from now telling Jay telling me how much money
he made while we were having this conversation, Jay Ratler, No,
I get a kick out of it, honestly, Jay, So.

Speaker 14 (02:21:18):
I think a kick might be the right word if
you want to kick me, But yeah, no.

Speaker 1 (02:21:23):
Just give your hard time anytime. Hang on, brother. We
got aviation things to talk about, and I got an
update here an interesting allegation regarding the Indian aircraft incident
that Boeing crash. So we'll talk about that right out
of the gate and get to the topics that he
provided me. Just don't go away, be right back. Fifty
five krc UK thirty eight thif about KRCY Talk Station

(02:21:46):
Ryan Thomins when I heard med Aviation ning for jay ratlift.
I know it's going to be a long, slong before
we finally get the final report on the Indie Aircraft investigation,
the June twelfth crash that involved the engine cut off,
and the question is swirling around that. The investigator Greg
Feith quoted as saying, it has become very apparent, especially
now with information I know and what's come out of
the cockpit voice recorder where the question is heard, why

(02:22:08):
did you cut off the fuel? That somebody had to
have seen that action to make the statement, so you
just wouldn't have a dual engine failure. He said, something
had to prompt that type of comment. Now we get
to the psychology part of it, and that's really where
this investigation is going to go. And oh, by the way,
it's no longer an accident. It's investigated as a criminal event.

(02:22:33):
So that's the direction this Air India crash has turned.
They had another separate investigation. Apparently there was nothing wrong
with the fuel control switches. They worked and operated properly,
so in other words, they couldn't just be bumped into
and switched off. Given the mechanics of the switch that
prevent that from happening.

Speaker 14 (02:22:49):
Well, you and I talked about how you have to
grab the switch, pull it up at the spring loaded,
put it back over the what that middle buffer thing is,
and then slide it back down into the position either
on or off. And it's a deliberate type of thing
that you would consciously do. It wouldn't be something that
you could bump and accidentally happen.

Speaker 6 (02:23:09):
And since it's the switch that act.

Speaker 14 (02:23:11):
Allows the fuel to flow to the engine, Yeah, you
want it to be designed that way, and it is.
So the investigation comes out and they give us the
initial kind of briefing from the cockpit voice recorder showing
that one of the pilots had said to the other,
without naming which one said it, why did you shut

(02:23:32):
off the engines as far as the fuel flow? Yeah,
and the pass The other one replied, I did not,
And then you kind of hear the raised concern and
then panic.

Speaker 6 (02:23:42):
They're turned back on.

Speaker 14 (02:23:43):
But the aircraft is such a low altitude you don't
have time for both engines to fully respond. One was
in the process of responding, but not enough to provide
the necessary lift, the second one not quite yet.

Speaker 6 (02:23:56):
So now you're.

Speaker 14 (02:23:57):
Looking at the possibility of an accidental oops I did that,
or a deliberate type of situation. Apparently it was the
first officer that was in charge of the aircraft itself,
so the captain with fifteen thousand flight hours would have
been monitoring everything. He would have been the one that
I suspect that would have been the one that might

(02:24:18):
have accidentally intentionally we don't know switched the fuel off
to both engines because the first officer would have been
involved in the aircraft itself as far as flying it,
So we don't know. And when you get into intentions
or what might have happened anything outside of hard critical evidence, Brian,
it's going to be impossible for us to determine exactly

(02:24:41):
what happened here. And that's the saddest part is because
the captain was preparing to retire so he could spend
time with his ailing father and nothing that at least
initially suggests any sort of a mental distress. He had
issues with his mom passing a few years before that
required some assistance, But I mean, I certainly don't fault

(02:25:04):
anybody for that, and a lot of people that I've
talked to in the pilot to the community are saying
it's really unfair for us to get this small little
snippet from the cockpit voice recorder instead of the entire
recording as far as the transcript so that we can
see exactly what was transpiring before that might have alluded
to a little bit more of this.

Speaker 6 (02:25:24):
So it raises a lot more questions.

Speaker 14 (02:25:26):
But the sad reality is absent of a very clear
mechanical situation or something else, we don't know for sure,
and that means that we're not going to be able
to honor the lives of those that were killed by
learning and making aviation safer. It's going to have a
big fat question mark over this because we're just going
to have to give it our best assessment on what.

Speaker 6 (02:25:47):
Might probably happen.

Speaker 14 (02:25:50):
And when you're talking about the all star teams that
are involved in this type of an investigation, they want specifics,
they want answers, they want both sides of that balance
sheet to come out. And when you can't provide an
answer for a question, it just it means forever we're
not going to know what happened.

Speaker 1 (02:26:08):
Well, you know, and maybe that's a sound reason for
putting video cameras in cockpits. So there's no speculation as
to who did what and when. Yes, the recorder does
indicate that the switch was turned off, but that doesn't
answer the why question or who did it question that
we're talking about and struggling with here, which, as you indicate,
we'll probably never know.

Speaker 14 (02:26:28):
So in pilot's fight the camera in the cockpit, they
have fought that big time because they're saying it prevents
them or could be used against them in a non
accident type of thing for further later disciplinary action if
something is uncovered or seen or what have you.

Speaker 1 (02:26:44):
Right, that's what video cameras are for, Jay.

Speaker 14 (02:26:47):
And if you don't own the airline that you work for,
I don't know that you necessarily have a say in this.
But the union's very powerful and they've prevented this from happening.
I know that trucks have them, trains have them, other
types of transportation, you know, devices had those, but they've
been able to be kept out out of the cockpit.
And to me, yeah, it would add another piece to

(02:27:10):
the puzzle allowing us to see a better picture. And
if safety is really our number one priority, I'm sorry
if it defends pilots. I'm sorry if they find it uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (02:27:21):
Oh dang, I don't have any sympothy from them at
all in that standpoint, they were surrounded by cam Yeah,
safety comes first, the passengers come first. We're deserving of
answers to questions why the damn airplane fell out of
the sky. It's Air Egypt, it's some Malaysian aircraft. I mean,
any number of these, although I guess you couldn't find
the video recorder with the air Malayian because they couldn't
find the damn plane anyway. Earlier, I guess we had

(02:27:44):
an Antonov eight and twenty four plane crash. Russian plane.
I know there were two early on details on this,
but you did see that was reporting a twin turboprop.

Speaker 14 (02:27:54):
Yeah, it's the aircraft itself was about fifty years old,
which normally is really an.

Speaker 6 (02:27:58):
Issue in the end because oh, yeah, fifty it's.

Speaker 14 (02:28:02):
A twin engine turboprop aircraft. But Brian, like, if I'm
not talking Russia, I'm talking about here in the United States.
If you've got an older airplane, it's constantly being rebuilt,
the engines, I mean, every aspect of it. Now, when
we're talking about a Russian plane that old who knows,
because they've had a situation with replacement parts and things

(02:28:24):
that have been in part because of the embargo. They've
had a very hard time finding parts because when the
war with Ukraine broke out, there were a lot of
suppliers that stopped selling them replacement parts, so they had
to kind of candle up campbalize parts from other aircraft hoping.

Speaker 6 (02:28:40):
That they would fit kind of thing, what have you.

Speaker 14 (02:28:42):
But on this particular one, there's a video of the
aircraft apparently in operation over the mountains moments before the crash,
and there did not appear to be any indications of
operational distress. Both engines seem to be running, no smoke
coming from the aircraft anything like that, but apparently crashed
to a mountain about nine miles from the airport. They

(02:29:02):
had a total of six or forty three passengers, six
crew members, so a total of we're total of forty
nine souls on board, and the video of the wreckage site,
I mean, there could be survivors, but we don't know
because there's not much left. But it's just a situation where,
you know, it's hard to reach where this was at,

(02:29:24):
and they're going to get there and conduct the search
and rescue and then it'll turn into a recovery mission
after that. But I don't know exactly what that cause was.
But Brian, I don't think you could consciously get me
onto a Russian airport of any kind.

Speaker 1 (02:29:40):
Anywhere fair enough. They're keeping them in the air the
way Boeing manufactures them, going to the spare parts pack.

Speaker 14 (02:29:47):
Know that I would connect those dots, but I can
tell you that, I mean, their safety record has just
not been as comfortable as we would like it to be.

Speaker 6 (02:29:56):
And it's just it's a situation that it's just.

Speaker 14 (02:29:59):
If I'm going to err on this caution and I'm
going to in every aspect that I can, getting on
board a Russian airliner is just not something I'm going
to do.

Speaker 1 (02:30:07):
Low order a priority for Jay Ratlift. Let's past bring
Jay Ratlift, find out what text? What is a family
on the fly program? We'll talk about that a couple
more topics where we part company this morning. Stick around,
be right back.

Speaker 15 (02:30:19):
Fifty five KRC the talk station a neighbor, Oh my god,
eight fifty here fift about their CD talk station in
Bronzoma is doing this thing we call Aviationfday with I
heart met the aviation.

Speaker 1 (02:30:33):
Next Bert Jay Ratlift Jay flipping over to some topics
you provided Family on the Fly program. The TSA did this.
What's this?

Speaker 14 (02:30:42):
It's a separate line for families screening line.

Speaker 6 (02:30:45):
At the airport.

Speaker 14 (02:30:46):
It's a it's going to be a trial situation first
or rolling it out in Charlotte and I believe Orlando
where those with families can go to this specific line.
There's a little bit more room as parents many times
need with their kids traveling, and it's designed for people
that are flying with families.

Speaker 6 (02:31:05):
Maybe they haven't flown that much.

Speaker 14 (02:31:07):
Whatever, and it's going to be a little bit slower
of a process. But what it does kind of gets
everybody that's flying with kids over in one spot, so
that the.

Speaker 6 (02:31:15):
Men and women that are flying on business that kind
of zip.

Speaker 14 (02:31:18):
Through security can do so without being behind a lot
of people that maybe would slow things. Now, it's a
great move from the TSA. In fact, it's one of
those things like, Gee, why didn't we think about this before,
because it's going to be good for the families and
it's going to be good for others as they kind
of get through the security checkpoint. So I'm thrilled to
see it. I think they've got another line that's being

(02:31:39):
made available for the military as well.

Speaker 6 (02:31:42):
Those types of things.

Speaker 14 (02:31:43):
The TSA is always looking to try to expedite the
process of getting us through the security checkpoint, and it's
a really good one because it's going to make things
a little bit easier, especially with people flying with kids.
I know a lot of times those of us with kids,
if they start to slow things back, we feel guilty
because we're slowing process.

Speaker 1 (02:32:00):
From yeah behind us.

Speaker 14 (02:32:02):
This is going to alleviate some of that, and I
think it's going to be very well received. Again, those
two airports first, and then after that it's going to
spread out to other airports across the country once some
of the bugs get worked out.

Speaker 1 (02:32:14):
All right, Well, I kind of had I want to
ask you about this Delta regional jet and had to
what duck, dip, dodge, dive and duck to get out
of the way of a B fifty two bomber. What's
what happened here?

Speaker 14 (02:32:25):
Well, the B fifty two was doing a fly by
over a fair and anytime that's done, they communicate that
long in advance with Federal abshdministration.

Speaker 6 (02:32:34):
Here's our plans. Here's our flight plan.

Speaker 14 (02:32:36):
All of it's approved, and typically, you know, the local
airports made aware of it, and you know, everybody's on
the same page. It was not the case here because
apparently the regional jet was where it should be should
have been, and the military aircraft was flying on its
predetermined and approved flight path. So all of a sudden

(02:32:57):
you have the regional pilots the Delta regional jet look
up and they see this aircraft off to the side,
thing of WHOA, what's.

Speaker 6 (02:33:04):
Going on here?

Speaker 14 (02:33:05):
Weren't expecting that, and there was a little bit of
confusion from air traffic control the tower there, which is
not better employees. It's a separate company that manages that
particular one on exactly the course that the regional jet
needed to take, and it was the Delta captain that
took the initiative to take that airplane in essence fly

(02:33:28):
back behind the B fifty two as it passed. And
it was a pretty severe bank when you listen to
the passengers that were on board the flight, and you know,
they turned around and got back in the line and landed,
and when they did, the Delta pilot came on board
and told the passengers. Okay, here's why we had to
do what we did and was very transparent, and the

(02:33:49):
people on board the flight were very appreciative of that
because they knew something had happened, they just didn't know what.
And the captain of its Endeavor Air it's a flight
operating as a delta connection. The captain explained, look, that's
not normal. That normally doesn't happen, and apologized for some
of those anxious moments. But you know, again, a very
good job and we can learn from this, which again

(02:34:11):
makes aviation safer absent of anybody getting hurt or killed,
and that's always a good thing.

Speaker 1 (02:34:16):
Well, I imagine it shocked the hell out of when
the piles looked over and saw a B fifty two
right there, Well, that big plane.

Speaker 14 (02:34:23):
That are looking at the window saying, I can see
the ground straight down because they were tipped. I meant
a pretty good angle when he was banking that bad boy.
But you know, these men and women that fly these
planes are I mean a lot of them are former
military and very well trained, and you know, they just respond,
they react and they don't sit there and think, and

(02:34:45):
you know it's a situation where you know they do
what they need to do, and they understand they've got
other people's lives at their you know, in their hands,
and they've got to do everything that they can to
protect the people, the souls on board the aircraft.

Speaker 6 (02:34:58):
So yeah, they did a good job.

Speaker 14 (02:35:00):
And again there was a breakdown in communication somewhere.

Speaker 6 (02:35:04):
We'll just have to find out where it was at.
But you know, we're so so not.

Speaker 14 (02:35:09):
So far removed from that January since situation where we
had the helicopter crash of the helicopter in the regional
aircraft is like, you know, shut her, here we go again.
But you know, it ended well and we're going to
learn from.

Speaker 1 (02:35:23):
It real quick. Here, what's it like for travel out
there today? Air travel?

Speaker 14 (02:35:27):
You know, from a thunderstorm steading point, we get a
lot of storms. They're going to be like you know,
giving New Orleans and Des Moines, Iowa ago. But as
far as from a hut standpoint, not really.

Speaker 6 (02:35:39):
Much out there.

Speaker 14 (02:35:40):
Those afternoon aggravating thunderstorms that are popping up all over
the place that are slowing things down by thirty to
forty five minutes, but ryan they're minimal. So if you
picked today to fly, you picked a good one. There's
going to be some turbulence out there as you fly.
Just keep your seat belt on. It's not dangerous, just uncomfortable.
And yeah, get to the airport early because we got
a lot of people that are flying heio.

Speaker 1 (02:36:00):
Thanks so much for the time he spent my listeners
and me every Thursday, and best of health. Loved you
and your better half. I'll look forward to next Thursday
and another great discussion Brian.

Speaker 6 (02:36:08):
My feelings as well, So have a great day.

(02:36:51):
of current topics. That's tomorrow in the morning show. Hope you
have a wonderful day and don't go away. Gunn Back
is up next.

Speaker 14 (02:36:57):
President Trump made clear that a peaceful resolution was possible
if Iran agreed to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions.
