55KRC Tuesday Show - Ken Kober, Aaron Weiner, Breitbart, Deep Dive

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Five O five fifty five k RC DETOK Station Tuesday, will.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Va.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
What the hell?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, that's kind of the way I woke up. What
the hell? I in advance apologies Brian Thomas here apologizing
for the next four hours ahead of time. Kind of
woke up on the wrong foot this morning. I'm not
one hundred percent. I'm not feeling ill or anything. I'm
just I don't know. It's like my semi circular canal
is out of whack. I feel really unstable and slightly dizzy.

(00:52):
So I have no idea what's going on in my
head right now. So apologies in advance. I hope I
don't drop the ball this morning. I could use your
help if you want to call in feel free five
one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
and eighty two to three talk found five fifty on
AT and T phones. And I won't have any relief
until Ken Cober FLP president comes on at seven oh
five to take the weight off my shoulders this morning,

(01:15):
and I'm talking about downtown safety and how the police
officers feel with our mayor right now. Aaron Weiner Charter
Committee Canada for Sinceei City Council joins a program at
seven thirty, we'll hear about his plans for the Sinsint
Police Department and how his campaign is going. Fast forward
to eight oh five with the Inside Scoop Right Bart
News White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson talking about the Trump

(01:36):
Middle East peace deal, which the world seems to be celebrating,
and rightfully so, I can only hope that we can
parley this into some sort of peace resolution between Russia
and Ukraine, which of course I'm going to be talking
about with this morning with Daniel Davis and the Deep Dive. Yes,
we will talk to him about the Middle East peace,

(01:56):
but also the ongoing saga going on to Russian Ukraine.
And I saw an article this morning, Politico article which
is absolutely insane. When I mean, I listen to fog
of war. I don't know who to believe in terms
of the number of casualties. And you want to read

(02:18):
one site, you'll hear a X number of casualties between
Russian and Ukraine. You read another site and you get
a completely different picture. But all of the numbers, regardless
of which website, media outlet you're looking at, are crazy.
Now I've been to the Washington, d C. And I've
seen the Vietnam Memorial and my recollection is there are

(02:41):
fifty four fifty five thousand names of soldiers who perished
fighting in the Vietnam War, not exactly a declared war.
I might interject, this is from Politico Russia loss. This
is just the first sentence. Russia lost two hundred and

(03:05):
eighty one thousand and five hundred and fifty soldiers in
the first eight months of this year. Two hundred and
eighty one thousand, five hundred and fifty soldiers. Now this
is a report, a document the Ukrainian intelligence say contain

(03:26):
leaked Russian data. So again, you know, recognizing what what
can you believe in? What you can't believe in the
world of news these days. Fine, but you know, Politico,
a left leaning website, I'll acknowledge this is data that
we got from the Ukrainian intelligence, which they say was

(03:47):
sourced from Russian intelligence. So you see how we're walking
down this sort of question mark path. The list, which
was recently published, shows the level of losses for minimal
battlefold battlefield gains, claiming that eighty six thousand, seven hundred
and forty four Russians were killed, You got almost thirty
four thousand missing, one hundred and fifty eight thousand and

(04:11):
a half wounded, and twenty three hundred captured. Now it's
noted in politicals reporting that, you know, there's a Russian
media website called media Zona claiming to be skeptical about
the numbers, but it named more than one hundred and
thirty four thousand dead. So no, no, no, it's not

(04:35):
two hundred and eighty one thousand, five hundred since January.
It's only one hundred and thirty four thousand, So I
mean insane amounts of lives being lost. And then the
article goes on to talk about how Russia is having
a really hard problem recruiting people. Of course, you might
imagine Institute for the Study of War, which described as

(05:00):
Washington Think that estimated Russia is signing up an average
of thirty one thousand, six hundred soldiers a month but
suffering an average of thirty five thousand and ninety three
casualties a month, more casualties than a number of people
that can even sign up. So again I'm waving a

(05:25):
red flag of you know, warning about the numbers, because
clearly you and I have no way of knowing, but
given the difference between you know, the Russian reporting and
these Ukrainian figures, we're still talking about a massive, massive
loss of life, more lives lost than the entirety of

(05:51):
the Vietnam War in just this year. That's a tough
thing to grasp, at least for me. It is. Don't
know where the resolution is. Maybe Daniel Davis I can
comment on that. We'll be hearing fro him at eight thirty.
And finally we'll have Dab my friend from Oto Eggs
and on locally owned, locally made product, Dab at the

(06:14):
helm twenty five years of Oto Eggs at getting rid
of nastiness. That'll take place at the end of the
eight o'clock hour. End of the eight o'clock hour. So
hope you stick around for all that, and again feel
free to call rescue me from myself. This morning, downtown violence.
You heard on the top of the our news. We've
got a couple of people shot. Great two people injured
in a shooting of Fountain Square at the City Bird

(06:39):
Please showed up in response to the shooting. Two people
injured taking a UC medical center with described as non
life threatening injuries. They said the shooting happened through the
window of City Bird exchange of fire. According to the police,
three shellcasings found two suspects, one of them arrested and

(06:59):
over the r soon after the shooting. The one victim
is a mail between the ages of are you ready
sixteen and seventeen years old? Joe? Do we have a curfew? Yeah?
I have to have Provoll spoke to that, so compare
and contrast. I got a big kick out of the
statements after have provall statements and he had a statement
from Corey Bowman. Corey Bowman an alternative to mayor, have

(07:20):
to have Purvoll If you're looking for a change of administration,
perhaps a different direction for the city of Cincinnati after
have parvoal. The recent violence and Fountain Square and Government
Square is beyond the pale and intolerable fine. This violence
is in the literal heart of our downtown. We've been
relentless with a litany of both police and non police interventions,

(07:41):
and yet violence continues. What what about all the progress
we made? What about MAGA undermining our safety and tearing
apart of the community. What about MAGA undoing what we've
achieved together? This is what we've achieved together more violence
in downtown Cincinnati. I guess the violence continues. Words from
have to have Parwell, he's acknowledging that we've got a

(08:02):
violence problem downtown Cincinnati. What an amazing turn of events.
As mayor of our city, my expectation is that every
party is at the table and every change is on
the table. We must collectively consider significant change to the
transit hub and how we police the area. Oh, we

(08:25):
need to change to the transit hub. I don't know
how that became. The Government Square became a magnet for violence,
but it is a magnet for violence. Is it the
transit hub that's at fault? He went on the change
to the transit hub and how we police the area.
That includes working with SORDA to push for changes to

(08:49):
Government Square. See here Government Square. This is a bus
drop off, transit area for whatever reason, and a magnet
for youths and violent crime. Seems to me this is
a police issue beyond that societally a recognized problem we

(09:11):
have in society that young people are out there committing crimes.
Of course, folks with responsible parents wouldn't allow their children
to be out after hours hanging out a government square.
Maybe that's a broader problem, or maybe the solution of
the problem is dealing with people at home. But we
need changes to Government Square. They also said, and creating
and enforcing an earlier curfew specific to the Fountain Square district.

(09:37):
So we're gonna focus on just the Fountain Square district.
What do you think that if you had enforced heavily
enforced curfew in just Government Square, which apparently is the
root of all evil, Government Square is the problem. It's
not the youth and the violence in downtown Cincinnati committed
by people youth and adults included. It's Government Square. So
let's enforce a curfew. I stick Government Square curfews apply

(10:02):
only to the underage people. Adults aren't subject to the
curfew last time I checked. So my directive remains clear.
Police officers are responsible and empowered to proactively intervene in
de escalating unreally behavior and enforcing laws as they're written. Fine,

(10:24):
that's a mayor a have to have pro ball statement,
which I thought was kind of comical. Considering Corey Bowman's statement,
I won't read the whole thing. I'll just go on
because after a parwall ends with police officers being responsible
and empowered to proactively intervene in de escalating unreally behavior,
enforcing laws as they're written, which is a change in
his perspective in terms of law enforcement. This is a

(10:46):
recent change from mayor af to have pro Ball, who
is a big defund rethink police kind of guy. Corey Bowman.
Fast forward three paragraphs. Our city needs to I'm sorry,
our city needs proactive policing patrols focused on de escalation.
Sounds like comparable ideas there, as well as the communications

(11:11):
center of the dispatches accordingly and effectively, immediate efforts to
hire officers to meet designated strength numbers. Pressure on courts
and judges to hold criminals accountable. There's an element that
may be elusive for even a mayor. How do you
pressure a woke left wing judge to enforce the law
to the fullest extent. You can't do that. They're independent

(11:33):
Therau Dictionary, separate, independent from the executive branch. They can
do whatever the hell they want. This is why we
need to make informed choices when it comes to electing judges,
and you have an opportunity to do that November or
even right now because early voting is open. Choose your
judges wisely anyway, New Amster, Gary and Jay on the phone.

(11:57):
I am thankful for your calls this morning, probably more
than any other morning that I can recall. It's five
seventeen right now. We'll get to those just a moment.
I'll be right back. I have a little bad issue
that's not good even, Thank God. Hundred and eighty two
three taught New Hampshire. Gary, you're first. Thanks for calling
this morning. Gary. It's good to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
That's good goodness to listen to you.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Brian.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
I've been retired for ten years and I can tell
you just a couple of observations that I make on
my partner. I have nothing to prove this, but I
think I'm pretty accurate. I think if we look, we
are on the warfare has changed so dramatically. We're almost
like that difference between the Civil War and the World

(12:46):
War One, to where trench warfare was in corporate with
modern industrial age technology made more lethal, rapid firing and
larger weapons more accurate. And now we're on a different

(13:06):
technological transformation with drone warfare, cyber warfare. You know, I
picture just picture this like we built the B twenty
fours in the B seventeen and the twenty nines on
a rapid industrial scale using modern assembly, right, and we

(13:30):
pumped out twelve thousand B twenty fours and almost seven
thousand B twenty nine five thousand. Anyhow, I can imagine
making drones at such a clip and a rapid succession,
and having drones instead of pilots and using swarm warfare,

(13:51):
you know, swarm technology to go after the aircraft, warriers
or even cities and stuff like that. You in corporate that,
or even on the battlefield, you'll also get cyber warfare
at the same time, where they go after the infrastructure, food, fuel,

(14:14):
anything that's banking, transactions, things like that. And you're entering
completely different realm. And we're actually watching this real time,
not just with Russia and Ukraine, but with everybody. I mean,
I think this is one of the reasons we're beefing
up our military reserve, our weapons, and they're kind of

(14:39):
doing it on a low scale like they did back
in the nineteen thirties. Our government knows that something is coming,
we just don't know what, and we're building up our
stockpiles of weapons. And I believe this is why that
plant in Tennessee blew up because they're working these guys
over time and a half trying to pump through because

(15:00):
we need the explosive portinets and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I can't prove that, Yeah, that makes sense. I was
just gonna say, there's no way I'm even speculated on
the reasons for that explosion. But all the observations make
are very are quite clear. I mean, anybody who doesn't
even have any connection with the military is paying even
remote attention to the issues, realizes the reality of modern warfare.
It's drones and cyber We got the Chinese hacking into

(15:26):
literally everything that we have in terms of infrastructure. Our
electric grid can be shut down on a whim and
the electrical lid grid fails. I'm sorry, You're not gonna
have access to your bank account, your four to one
K account, your cryptocurrency account, nothing. Your water will not flow,
your gas will not flow, You will be without literally anything.
I mean, this is the world we live in right now.

(15:48):
It's frightening. And yes, I hope that our American military
and our officials and our elected officials and everybody involved
in protecting us is painfully aware of this reality and
is really literally doing everything humanly possible behind the scenes
to protect us from what seems so damn obvious. Mean,
our biggest threat is the Chinese communist parties hacking into

(16:09):
our infrastructure, but they're not the only ones. We talked
to Tech Friday's Dave had He. Every Friday we find
out how many actors are out there, evil and nefarious folks.
Maybe they're just looking to make a buck, Maybe they're
looking to undermine the United States stability and its ability
to defend itself. But they're all out there in mass
quantities coming after US twenty four to seven. It's frightening.

(16:31):
I hate to even think about how frightening it is.
And yeah, it's easy to make a drone. North Korea's
churning them out, Russia's churning them out, Iran is churning
them out. Everybody's capable of making a drone. They're cheap,
they're inexpensive, they're expendable. How much does it cost for
an F thirty five? How much does it cost for

(16:51):
a drone? How many drones can you buy for the
cost of an F thirty five? Rhetorical question, Jay hang On,
I'll take your call as soon as we come back.
I had to well, Babylon, it's kind of the mood
I'm in this morning, five twenty five fifty five KR

that's Freudian slip on that maybe someday over the pholdes
we go in order, which they received, meaning Jay's first, Jay,
thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
Thanks Brian.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Hey, just wanted to congratulate the listeners.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
We're up to sixty five billion dollars in savings with
this government shutdown. This is really the ultimate dough solution.
Isn't it that instead of trying to pick away at
the federal government and you know, making some wins, but
nowhere near where we need to be, just shut it
down and leave it shut down. And I would love

(18:14):
to see Trump push the accelerator pedal down, starting with
let's undo all the federal bureaucracies the woods Row Wilson
put in place, and Jimmy Carter, you know, I would
start with Department of Education gone, Department of Energy gone,
and just keep going down through every department every day,
get rid of another one, and everybody relaxed. Your life

(18:35):
goes on. We don't need I don't think anybody's calling
nine to one one because the government is shut down.
We're only talking about twenty percent of the government spending.
Believe me, they can do without it. And speaking of
state government, you know, back to the argument of with
what happens if we stop paying property tax? And and
my pet peeve is when people say, well, what are

(18:57):
we going to replace it with? Here's an idea.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Don't all have to be a pet peeve. It's a
legitimate question. Man. I'm not saying I want property tags.
The aftermath is going to be a complicated reality, and
you can't deny that, so they're going to have to
do so hard.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
I can, well, I can, And here's how. If you
get on Ohio checkbook dot go, it'll show you where
the Ohio is spending money. It has one hundred and
eleven billion dollar budget. Forty five billion of that is medicaid.
And I just tried to find the updated listening by states,
because last time we found this, I think it was

(19:34):
Americans for Prosperity that Ohio was last place at forty
five percent. So let's just assume that we're right around there.
Our medicaid spend is forty five billions, our public schools
primary secondary is fifteen billions. If we take the medicaid

(19:56):
fraud out of the Ohio state budget, that pace for everything.
If we want to continue to overfund these overfunded schools
and pay the football tax and you get to take
them the same exorbitant level of spending, take the medicaid fraud.
This is very simple. Take the fraud out of the
state medicaid system and that'll fund primary secondary schools. You

(20:17):
don't have to change the thing now. I would vote
to take the fraud out and scutch and continue to
cut the taxes. But isn't that a simple solution, Brian?

Speaker 1 (20:25):
It is assuming that amount of fraud is out there
in the quantities that you describe, and I have no
way of knowing exactly how much fraud is out there.
It is difficult to find the number. I mean, you
pointed out after here's the one that brought it to
everybody's attention. That's not that long ago. But I don't
know where the number is right now. I can't. I
can't see how I do.

Speaker 7 (20:46):
I found something. I found that the national average is
twenty percent, So twenty of forty five billion. What says
that nine billion dollars out of a fifteen billion dollar
primary and secondary budget. Even if we're average, I don't
think we are. Okay, we would still have nine billions.
So that's a big hole that we could fill with
primary and second there. But I don't hear anybody talking

(21:08):
about this anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
No, You're right, That's why we have you Jay, to
keep reminding people how much fraud wasted abuse there is
out there. Every blank and government program is just replete
with fraud wasted abuse. It happens all the time. Geez,
look at the COVID numbers and the PPP loans. I mean,
there's just billions of dollars of people just ripping off
the federal government, and of course state governments go hand

(21:29):
in hand with the federal government because there's not enough oversight.
There isn't enough there aren't enough bodies I guess monitoring
the store. There seems to be something artificial intelligence might
get its head around and stop from happening. I mean,
how difficult is it to eradicate fraud wasted abuse? Right?
You got to be I would.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
One hundred percent agree. And so anytime somebody says, what
would we replace it with, We'll get rid of the fraud, waste,
and abuse. Start with Medicaid. Don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat.
And hey, we're hav anybody for Central Committee, the shadow
people behind the Republican Party. Have they ever reached out
to you, because I'd really love to know more about you,
know how they make choices for all of us.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Every time you mentioned Central Committee, Rick Heron, who's big
on Central Committee being the the important element of getting
better candidates, he keeps saying Jay needs a run for
Central Committee. Be a strong voice, be that actual committee. Rick,
you are the one that needs to be on Central
Committee because you hate it so much. That's his point.

Speaker 7 (22:29):
Jay, who elected them to speak for all of us?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, nobody but everybody. You know, it's just kind of
the way we ended up here. Jay, go ahead, run
for it and tear it down. If that's the end
story for you, then fine, go ahead and do it.
You can be the I don't know the mechanism for
change here in the state of Ohio. Love hearing from you, Jay,
and keep reminding people there is massive fraud, waste abuse

(22:54):
in government. Maybe we don't need more money, we just
need to get a check on the money that we
take in and the number of people were hooking themselves
up to federal programs and state programs who are not
eligible or otherwise committing fraud and doing so. Thank you,
my friend, Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show, and Happy
Tuesday to you.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Oh that's just good stuff. I know, I know. I
got something for Jay to do. Apparently there's a couple
of local high schools that need new stadiums and he
needs to spearhead fundraising drives.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah that'll work. Yeah, he's on that right now.

Speaker 6 (23:31):
Football tax, that's one of the better ones. That I've
heard that. I mean, it could be. And the reason
it's so funny.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
It's true, it's true, Yes, it is true.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
It is true. We are spending in orderate amounts of
money on things that really, when you get down to it,
the taxpayers should not be paying for. It's that simple.
So but you know, now you're asking people to give
up this big pot of money that's there that every
everybody that gets elected and get their grubby balls into

(24:02):
and oh, here's something for my cause, and oh, here's so,
here's some more for my cause. And you know that
that's what you're asking people to give up. And it's man,
the love of money. We know about that. And when
you got all kinds of money, you can do a
lot of stuff. You can grease a lot of wheels,
you know. So that's that's the tough part, getting rid

(24:23):
of all this money and knocking down the amount of
money that's that's available to all these politicians and all
these bureaucrats. And that's both sides of the aisle. And
then there's a very small percentage of elected officials that
realize it's a problem and are and are willing to
do something about it, but a single digit percentage of

(24:46):
people is not going to get anything done. And so
that's why, along with Jay and and many others, that's
why we say don't vote right now and don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom and you two
five th six fifty five kre CD talk station. More
calls coming in which I truly appreciate. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five eighty two to three talk found five fifty
on eight and t phones be right back.

Speaker 8 (25:10):
This is fifty five KRC and IHO facial.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Five forty here fifty five kr CD talk station. Got
a couple of callers online. I just have those, you
know from Jay's comments. Well, you know, I I think
that the elimination of property tax is going to be
complicated for our elected officials and columbus to deal with.
Jay's got a solution, get rid of fraud, waste and abuse,
and there's the money. Well, maybe that's the answer to
the question, the Charlie Fox trot. Reality of getting rid

(25:39):
of property tax in the state of Ohio, if that's
in fact what the voters go for, might bring about
greater oversight, if they are desperately in need of finding money.
It's right there in front of them. So maybe that's
one of the things that they'll accomplish. Oh my god,
property tax is eliminated. How are we going to fund
fill in the block? Thanks? Hmmm, well, let's look at

(26:02):
this program. Let's look at that program. Oh my god,
let us look at the billions of dollars that we
are spending that we shouldn't be spending. Let's put it
in our pocket and then fund these things we no
longer have property tax to fund. Maybe that's the moment
of desperation that will bring us about to some form
of a greater oversight which seems to be in desperate
need across every corner of government in the entire United States.

(26:26):
Where in the hell is the oversight? How much money
do you spend on non or on these on these
non governmental organization we talk about the city of Cincinnati.
They get millions and millions of dollars. What did they
do with it? The original DOGE work going after all
these USA programs, What did they do with the money?
It says they're going to cure I don't know, herpes
among transgender prostitutes in China or something. Did it we

(26:52):
don't know. Nobody followed up, Bobby, Welcome to the Morning
Show and a happy Tuesday to you.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
By blas th Family. In the firearms, my friend, I mean,
we've had six shootings downtown and they've only reported four
of them.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Fair enough.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
I've got to repeat something I've discussed a long time ago, the.

Speaker 9 (27:15):
Seventy two hour window.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
People are not prepared when the power goes out and
the water stops. What are you going to do after
the first three days, because if you're not prepared, you'll
never be able to get prepared.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Good question, even around federal government on federal websites, says
you need to have at least three days worth of
supplies in your house. There's your seventy two hour window, Bobby,
what about day four or five or six?

Speaker 5 (27:40):
People aren't prepared, my friend, I got one thing to say,
and this sums it up. They talk about the taxes,
and it's real simple. You want to talk about the waste,
Go down to any job and family service office and
just walk in there and sit down for a while,
and you'll see exactly what the problems are. Efficiency grifters,

(28:03):
same place, same people. It's not going to change until
you change the faces, and it's not going to change,
and we're not going to be able to change the faces.
Every city in the in the state of Ohio is
run by Democratic mayors, Democratic city councils, all of them.
But they're all surrounded by conservatives. Why are we still

(28:23):
feeding them?

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Well, it's a good question, I guess. I've had many
of my friends, as Steve, you're out there listening wondering,
for example, why Donald Trump is insisting on rescuing and
saving the democratic cities from themselves in the rampant crime.
Let them go, Let them die on their own policies
and platforms. Don't send the National Guard in. Yeah, they're suffering.

(28:48):
Let them continue to suffer. I understand that you can
view that as a broader, perhaps solution to the challenges
we face collectively.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
In the state of Ohio. We have eighty eight counties.
Ten percent are run by Democrats, but that ten percent
takes care of fifty percent.

Speaker 7 (29:05):
Of the voting block.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
Yeah, why do we keep supporting they're surrounded by conservatives.
Quit spending the money, and quit feeding the pig. That's it.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Well, Bobby's final solution cut off the money, so viable
solution there Bobby, I guess, Ted, welcome in the morning show,
Happy Tuesday. If you can make it one.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
The Ohio Lottery when they sold that to us.

Speaker 10 (29:33):
The.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Good go ahead. I'm sorry, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
You're right checked into how much?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
How much does the high Lottery take into do we
even know that? I think your cell phone died. Ted,
I'm not hearing anything from you, but it's a great point.
Just mentioning the High Lottery obviously caused me to break
into laughter. That was the solution to our school funding issues,
wasn't it right? Five forty five If you five car
City Talk Station, feel free to call save me from myself.

(30:05):
I'll be right back.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Fifty five KRC the talk station Buffalo five forty nine
here for the five KRCD talk station, Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Try to make it one anyway. I'm mentioned at the
outside of the program. I'm struggling a little bit this morning,
feeling extremely for whatever reason, dizzy and off balance. It's
kind of impacting my mind in the way it's working
this morning. I don't know why I'm feeling this way,
but I am so. I'm on record, so you can
at least maybe give me a pass this morning. Let's
go to the phones, starting with Corey. Who's first in line, Cleveland.

(30:37):
I'll hang on brother, We'll get you next.

Speaker 12 (30:39):
Corey.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Thanks for calling this morning, Good.

Speaker 11 (30:42):
Morning, haven't called in and for a little bit, yea
would this morning calling from Saginaw, Michigan this morning, listening
on the app.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Thank you, But.

Speaker 11 (30:51):
No, like Jay was saying, I agree, get rid of
the property text. That'll force them to make cuts where
they need to. Governments bloated everywhere you look. Everything you
see is government bloat, and it will force them to
get their their house in order.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
A little bit.

Speaker 13 (31:09):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, by any government job.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
You see any road project, why is it every time
they pave a road, a month later they come back
close it and then they put in new culverts and
they tear up what they just did. Little you see
the little stuff like that everywhere all the time. And uh,
it's a good government programs. They got to they got
to spend the money or they don't get it next year.
So they got to spend more. That way they get

(31:33):
more money the following year.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Most notably in the federal government level. Absolutely, the federal
government is just awful along those lines. Yeah, spend it,
spendet hurry up and spend it. We're not going to
get the same amount or not or more next year.
It's crazy, crazy, yep.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
The whole system's built to take.

Speaker 11 (31:49):
More and more and more and more and make everybody
dependent upon the government, government.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
And the fulfillment of Marxist stream erode and eradicate the
middle class, leaving just two classes out there so you
can gage in a perpetual class warfare argument and then
bring down those that make the most money and actually
employ people.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, there you have it, Cory. You summed it up.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
Man.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's good to hear from you, brother. Don't be a
stranger here on the morning show Cleveland. Now, welcome man,
it's good to hear from this morning.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Good morning. I just wanted to quickly piggyback on what
Bobby said about cutting off the spigot. I think we
need to be reminded that there was a very famous
libertarian who wrote a book and ran actually wrote several

(32:40):
books about exactly what we're talking about. And I think
we all need to become John Galt and basically quit.
I like that. That's my comment for the day.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
As Tom says, don't vote Democrat, Rhino.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Thank you. Appreciate you bringing I ran up to the top. Yes,
who is John galt Atlas Strug? You should probably read it,
although I will point out that there is a very
very extraordinarily overly long winded speech, yes, the radio speech
in the book that I just every time I've read
that book, my eyes just rolled. It's like, Hi, come on,
did you really need to go on for four hundred

(33:23):
pages or whatever on this. Anyway, you've read the book,
you know exactly what I'm talking about. Loved, hated, It's
I think it's a really great book, and that whole
fantasy land also, I don't know, did you need to
go there? Anyway? We go to the stack of stupid
taco bell not a fan. There is a event in Denver.

(33:46):
It is called the International Taco Bell fifty k Ultra Marathon.
Fifty k translates into thirty one miles described as a
loop through Denver, including datory stops mandatory at ten taco bells.
You must order to compete in this event. Successfully, you

(34:08):
have to order something at nine out of the ten
taco bells, and you actually have to eat the food
food specifically including one chalupa Supreme. Don't even have any
idea what the hell that is. It's a made up thing.
I know, Joe, that's exactly what the sound effect was
in my mind, or same sound effect. One crunch Wrap Supreme,

(34:30):
so you got a Chilupa Supreme and a crunch Trap
Supreme by the fourth stop, and then one Burrito Supreme
hit it or one Nacho's Bell Grande by the eighth stop.
You have to finish the thirty one miles within eleven hours.
You need to keep your receipts. Drinks do not count
as food, and that's in quotes from the instructions they say.

(34:55):
Obviously challenging for the digestive system, but you must keep
it down. There is a zero tolerance policy for expelling
the eating food. The eating food as much as you
might want to expel whatever the hell a Chilupa Supreme is,
so no vomiting. If you do, you're immediately disqualified, and
you're not allowed to take stomach medicines like pepto, pepsid

(35:19):
ac et cetera. I don't make the.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
Rules, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
I just think them up and write them down.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
You are able to use the bathroom as much as
you like, but you can only use Taco Bell restrooms.
Taco Bell fifty K now when it's eighth year just
happened over the weekend. No winners yet been announced. They
were expecting around six hundred participants for the record. Taco
Bell is not affiliated any way, shape or form with
the event and will not comment on it. But the

(35:48):
organizers say they believe that's probably because of their legal department.
You know, if they endorse it, then maybe they're going
to be liable. And I certainly understand that because fifty
five k see listener lunches are not sanctioned, but of
course they enjoy the publicity. Taco Bell Wow. I remember

(36:13):
the last time I was at a Taco Bell. Not
a good experience. Five point fifty five five Paris the
talk station stick around more coming out. I've got plenty
of talk about in the six o'clock hour, and again
desperately pleading for your calls this morning. I am not here,
I really am not. I'll be right back.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
Today's tough headlines coming up at the.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Six oh six fifty five KR see the talk station.
By the time, I was wishing everybody very happy Tuesday.
I hope you're having a better one than I am.
And again, apologies. I started out this morning show letting
you know I am not I'm not playing with a
full deck of cards this morning. I don't know what's
wrong with me, and thank you Rick for telling me
I should probably get checked out at the er. I
don't feel sick. I just feel really, really really like dizzy.

(37:01):
And I just asked Joe Strecker, this is the end
of my nineteenth year in radio. I'll be twenty years
in radio next year. I have I don't think I've
ever taken a sick day, and this morning I would
have called a red flag on it if I thought, well,
I felt like I would be letting Joe Strecker down.
What the hell do you do when the host of
the fifty five carssee morning he just calls in and
says he's not going to make it a work today anyway.

(37:23):
Apologies in advance. That's why I'm kind of a I
don't want to sound like a desperate plea for phone callers,
but I'm struggling with my cognitive abilities this morning. So
five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, eight
hundred and eighty two to three talk with Tom five
fifty on at and t phones. Terrible time for my
wife to be out of town on a business trip. Anyway,
these shutdown continues, we'll point that out. Coming up with

(37:44):
the fifty five Carsity Morning Show, Ken Cober FLP President's
seven oh five, we'll talk about downtown safety. We've got
a couple of shootings at the City Bird. We have
comments from AFTAB Parvall on law enforcement. I guess he's
acknowledging we really do have a crime problem. Now welcome
to reality. AFTAB Parvall operable comments, well, alternative comments with
Corey Bowman, an alternative to have to have parvol as.

(38:06):
Since we're in open voting right now, go ahead and vote.
So we'll talk about downtown safety with Kenkobra coming up
with seven oh five, follow by Aaron Weiner Charter Committee
Canada for sin Say City Council. He's got a plan
for the Cincinni Police Department. We'll find out how the
campaign's going. Fast forward to eight oh five Insight Scoop
with Bright Bart News Today we get the White House
correspondent Nick Gilbertson to talk about the Middle East peace

(38:26):
and Trump's victory so far. Keep your popcorn out, it
ain't over. Till the fat Lady sings and no fat
ladies singing yet. We'll get the Daniel Davis Deep Dive
with the latest on the Middle East piece, as well
as Rushing Ukraine and oder Exit. My friend Deb from
oder Exit will join the program to talk about that
at the end of the eight o'clock hour. Real quick here, Yeah,

(38:49):
just a couple of observations of the government shutdown and
we're still shut down. A nod to Day this morning
for keeping track of how much money we're saving with
the government being shut down. So Trump took care of
the pressure point that was the military funding over the weekend.
Apparently he's shifting money to make sure our military members
will not miss a paycheck tomorrow. A little bit of
relief there. We of course have him moving forward with

(39:10):
layoffs to the Office of Management and Budget, which he
promised he would do. And state of flux concerning where
we're going right now. No sign that rank and file
Senate Democrats are going to capitulate. You only need five
of them to turn the government back on. But no
sign that the rate to flip. So what are we
looking for? The ultimate pressure point? The November first launch

(39:32):
of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act. Democrats are
waiting for the pain now and correct me if I'm wrong.
My understanding is one point five million people are going
to be affected by the cutoff of subsidies for Obamacare.
We live in a nation of three hundred and forty
or so million people, so that's a rather small segment
of the population. I know they probably will vote, but

(39:55):
is it really I mean, are we holding hostage a
vast majority of American people in connection with this subsidy? No,
of course we're not. So waiting for the November first
to open enrollment. That means constituents, oh my god, I'm
not getting a tax credit anymore this year. So the
small segment of people making north of four hundred percent

(40:15):
of poverty level are no longer going to get their
premium subsidized. Is that going to really amount to some
sort of massive revolt against Republicans. I don't see it personally,
but this is where we are. So wait for the
pain to hit. Wait for the phones to start ringing.
Senator Rubin Golego, Democrat at Arizona. The closer to November first,

(40:35):
a lot of selected officials are going to start hearing
from their what else are they waiting for. Well, they're
waiting shut down to inflict pain upon you. You're flying airplane. Yeah.
Senate Majority Leader Johnathon pointed out wait waiting for the
shutdowns impact on air travels, saying it's one way the senators,
in his words, might start to feel that a little

(40:59):
bit personal. Hm. Senator Dick Durbin separately noted last week
how air traffic controllers were a driving factor in the
last shutdown. Ooh, the American people are gonna be able
to fly, So let's make them feel that pain and

(41:19):
force the Republicans to capitulate and offer these north of
four hundred percent of the poverty level subsidies to continue,
as well as make eligible a whole lot of illegal immigrants. Yes,
there's that in the background as well. And the other
component of this is kind of comical. I think it's
comical personally. Now, the House approved extension. The continuing Resolution

(41:42):
was passed in the House that keeps government funding levels
of the Biden era level. Right. That expires November twenty first,
right before Thanksgiving. But the more we TikTok TikTok in
a shutdown, the closer November twenty first comes and the
House being in recess means apparently they're not working on

(42:04):
the appropriations bill, which is the point of the continuing resolution.
We've got to get the twelve appropriations bill done. We
need a continuing resolution to keep funding levels at the
same rate as last year so we can get the
work done that we have been well charged with doing
since the beginning of the fiscal year. Go ahead and
make fun of every one of them for not getting
that work done in advance of any deadline. They need

(42:27):
a deadline to force them into exactly what we're doing
right now. It's a big game they play every year,
usually ending up with an omnibus spending bill that increases
the amount of federal spending insanely and also includes a
whole bunch of things that Rhinos as well as Democrats
throw in there to well pad the books in their
own state. So now they're talking about maybe extending that

(42:50):
deadline in a new bill into well just before Christmas,
just before Christmas, because of course every lot he's got
to go home for Christmas. This is just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
Let's go to the phone and see what Dennis has got. Dennis,
thanks for calling this morning. I truly appreciate hearing from you.

Speaker 9 (43:11):
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling the way you are.
A couple of things going around that you know, you
want to have your your physician look at your sinuses,
head and ears, and they if your equilibrium is off
and you're feeling kind of punk, it's probably going to
have something to do with that. Maybe it's a bug

(43:33):
going around and we've got to put up with it
in the usual things that public health and medical policy
ignore what putting us through this crap that's in.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
My own personal health. I do not feel congested. I
don't feel I mean, I don't feel ill at all,
except I'm just walking around. I'm just kind of like
off balance and I just feel out of sorts. It's
just the weird. It's the strangest thing, man, And I
hate to even lament on air that I'm feeling this way.
I'm just trying to give people an explanation for why
and maybe sound like an idiot this morning. So I

(44:06):
appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (44:07):
Well, Yeah, I have him to do a blood work
up on you and make sure your platele atcount's good, and.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I just have that done. My cancer doctor just did
that about a week ago and everything was great. I mean,
I got an outstanding report for my cancer doctors. So
unless things have changed in the last seven days or so, uh,
it's not that So I'm at a loss, sir, I
really am.

Speaker 9 (44:31):
Well, if you know, not to make too fine a
point on it, but that's why God made bourbon, so
I have got it.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
It's like the way I feel right now. I feel
like I've been drinking bourbon. That's it's sort of a
drunken feeling. Anyway, go ahead, Dennis. I know you didn't
call to talk about that.

Speaker 9 (44:49):
Well, actually I did, but that's the pretest. Hey, let
me go back to what we're having here in Hamilton
County as we've had a complete takeover of the government
by the by the idiots and the maniacs. And one
of the things that happened in the past five years
is the complete shifts in the way that elections are conducted.

(45:10):
And some of it's above the rows and some of
it's beneath the rose, meaning that some of it was
done openly, but almost all of it was an agenda
that was designed to subvert the ability of the voters
at large to have a significant influence over there of
our environment, and one that I ran across which was

(45:32):
really interesting, and it was the way that the last
election in twenty twenty four was rigged locally, and it
had to do with a smudge, just a tiny, tiny
little smudge over a Conny Pillach's box on the ballot.
This is just one example, but it happened with such
frequency while I, myself and my wife were standing there

(45:54):
in the Board of Elections getting our ballots counted, and
then it became pretty evident the computer program was printing
an almost invisible smudge over Connie Pillage's box in the ballot,
and what that would do is that if you voted
for her Republican opposition, it would kick the ballot. And

(46:16):
then the posts of the Board of Elections employees were
telling people that just don't let it go. The rest
of your ballot'll count. And what they did was is
it rigged a significant shift in the count for the
Prosecutor's office to the Democrat side. And the consequences of
that are being evident right now. With the total restriction

(46:39):
on the ability of police officers to get a warrant
issued for somebody, everything has to go through the Prosecutor's office.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Well, Dennis, I got to be honest with you, I
have never heard anybody, and I've got a lot of
folks on the listening audience that are really keen on
election fraud and all this. No one has ever mentioned
what you're talking about this morning. I don't know where
you got the information, may be your personal experience, but
as far as it's being a widespread phenomenon, this is
the first time I've ever heard of it. So I

(47:06):
have to let you know that right here, because I
have never heard anything to that effect.

Speaker 9 (47:12):
It's firsthand. I witnessed it directly. And the interest, how did.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
You draw the conclusion it was pervasive though you said
you saw it firsthand, but then you extrapolate that into
it being a pervasive problem. I don't know how any
one individual can be aware of it being a pervasive
problem real easily.

Speaker 9 (47:29):
While I was getting my ballot reprocessed number one, the
ballot was marked across and the evidence was destroyed, torn
up right in front of me. I got a new ballot,
went back to the same voting machine, and while I
was getting mine replaced, a young lady was trying to
get her processed and counted exactly the same problem, the

(47:51):
smudge on the ballot that caused the count to go
to pillage, and she was advised all the rust of
your ballot will count just to go had she had
to make it the work, and she let the ballot
go through. And that occurred while the half hour forty
minute period involved my presence in front of the ballot

(48:13):
counting machine directly witnessed, the directly witnessed the election bias
that was there and the destruction of my ballot when
it should have been kept as evidence.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Well, did you bring it to the attention of the
folks that were there, like the Republican side, of those
that were monitoring the ballots of the election officials? I mean,
did you bring it raise awareness to everybody in the
room like this is going on? I mean, these problems,
if you see them, need to be elevated immediately to
everybody's attention, that is, both sides of the political equation

(48:48):
who are there monitoring the integrity of the ballot. Other
than that, I have no way of Again, I can't
even comment on what you're saying because I've never heard
it before. So I appreciate what you're saying. Dennis, but
I mean, somebody's got to bring this to everybody's attention.
I mean, here in the morning show in October of
twenty twenty five, you're raising for the first time that

(49:09):
I've ever heard something that happened in November of twenty
twenty four. So we got a big window here, and
I'm kind of scratching my head over how this has
remained beneath everybody's radar. I appreciate the call, Dennis. I'm
not saying that you're lying. I'm just saying I've never
heard it before. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. That's
why we need people with loud voices to raise it.

(49:29):
Early's attention got to run. It's six nineteen right now,
fifty five ko City Talk Station. You got nagging joint pain? Yeah,
that one that's keeping you well from enjoyment. We're going
straight to the phone, six twenty four to fifty five
Karo City Talk Station. Alan, thanks for calling this morning.
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 13 (49:44):
Hey there, Sorry you're feeling kind of yucky. I just
wanted to share with I just wanted to share with you.
I have a condition to call positional vertigo and my
understanding is that there's small little crystals in the inner
ear that help us to know where we are in
the world. Is to get older, this crystals could get
out of position. To call it a so called room
spinning type of feeling. If you can doog, you can
do a Google Google position with vertigo to see if

(50:06):
the syentems sound like what you're experiencing. There are YouTube
videos and how to diagnose yourself and some simple exercises
you can do at home to get the crystals back
into position. But it's kind of a crony condition. Once
you start getting it, it keeps on coming back every so often.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
There's positional vertigo, right.

Speaker 13 (50:22):
It has a longer name than that, but that's the
short cut version.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (50:26):
Also you can also see an E and T doctor.
They are actually the ones who can determine that because
they do with the inner ear. That's because there's the
actual physical thing going on in there. It's not the
same as just being like regular dizzy. This is actually
your The fact, the way they test it is your
eyes shake back and forth like you're in a washing
machine going really really fast.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Well, fortunately I am not exhibiting that syndrome right now,
but I am feeling the Disney compart. That's why I said,
maybe it's an inner ear problem or something. And I
don't feel like I have any allergies. To uh Elisa
who just emailed me or facebooked me, you know, I
don't feel like I got allergies. I don't know what
the issue is. It's weird, Alan, That's all I can tay.
But I will look up positional vertigo and I hope

(51:04):
I don't have it because this is this is an
onset of some new phenomenon this morning. I'm really I'm
spaced out right now. It just kind of weird. Thank you, sir.
I appreciate the concern. If I have care, see de
talk station. Thanks to the last caller, I just learned
what the Epley maneuver is. Yeah, oh, apparently I may

(51:27):
have that condition he described. Yeah, positional vertigo. That sounds
like exactly what I got.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
Man.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I appreciate the heads up on that. I will I'll
do the Epley maneuver when I got a moment in
time to do it. Let's go to the phones five one, three, seven,
two three talk cribbage. Mike, my submariner friend. Congratulations and
happy anniversary to you. The Navy celebrated its two hundred
and fiftieth year anniversary yesterday.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
Thank you, Brian.

Speaker 12 (51:51):
And then you know, if I could, I would bring
my board down to the studio right now and you
for a therapeutic game of cribbage. I'm sure that would
just bring you right around.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Oh that's what you need me at a disadvantage. Is
that what you're saying since I beat you again last time?
Huh huh huh.

Speaker 12 (52:06):
I didn't even look at it that way.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Oh sure you didn't.

Speaker 12 (52:10):
Hey, I'm not a doctor and I don't play one
on TV. But you know the symptoms that you described
where you're having cognitive abilities and you're a little dizzy
and you're not thinking straight. I recommend you go directly home,
because if you are seen out in public, you may
be mistaken for a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Is this in my head what they feel like all
the time?

Speaker 12 (52:32):
I got twenty four seven Joe Biden reels there you go.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Yeah, well maybe you've stumbled upon Well, now I have
a better understanding of the opposition. Little empathy, little empathy,
appreciate it.

Speaker 12 (52:45):
Yes, Hey, So along with the Navy and our good
friend Joe Strucker's birthday yesterday, a lot of us had
the pleasure of celebrating the one hundred and second birthday
in Anderson Township of mister Hank Marsham. He's a World
War Two formy veteran, and the Assisted Living Facility put

(53:05):
on a phenomenal celebration for him. The Placeless Pack, the
Anderson Fire and Police were there. We had an Army
color guard. We had two representatives from the Hamilton County Pipers,
and you know, I'm a sucker for a bagpipe.

Speaker 9 (53:20):
You know.

Speaker 12 (53:20):
They played very patriotic music and one of the trustees
was there to make it Hank marsh On Day and
Anderson Township.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
That's great and it reminded.

Speaker 12 (53:31):
Me so much when we celebrated Bob Dulan's one hundred
and fifth and this Hank yesterday. I got a chance
to talk to him, sharp as attack. He would give
you a run for your money today, let me tell.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
You well, and pretty much anybody can, but not to
discount Hank. I will give credit to Bob Wetter out there,
mister humanitarian himself, the guy that's responsible for the wistory.
He's the one that sent me a picture of Hank
yesterday and told me. It was Hank's hundred and second birthday,
So I did mention it once on the morning show yesterday,
and I'm glad I.

Speaker 12 (54:01):
Got the word out, and I know the assistant living
facility did a lot, and really the place was packed
and it was kind of a surprise when they wheeled
him in and we all sang Happy birthday and just
you know, that's you know, you get days like that,
and of course it can't beat the news of what
happened in Israel yesterday, but with all the other muck
that you unfortunately have to report every day, you know,

(54:22):
events like that, and I can't help but tag in
two weeks we have our last honor flight for twenty
twenty five on October twenty eighth. You know, you know
what that's like. And that was just a little snippet
of it yesterday, celebrating this greatest generation and a true patriot.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
That's great. And you know what, I can't thank you enough,
Mike for calling in reminding folks about that. I'm always
searching for, you know, wonderful things and little miracles that
happened in the world that we quite often we overlook,
and the fact that he lived that long that he
served his country. I saw the picture of him when
he enlisted. God, he looked like he was twelve years old.
I mean exactly. He was a kid. I mean a
genuine kid.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Just and you know, for everybody who's supported him and
showed up for the event yesterday, and you know, to
PAPIs and Bob Wetter and you, thank you very much
for for acknowledging Hank. And appreciate you, Hank, for your
service to our country. And God bless you, sir. That's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
It was.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
I appreciate it, I really do. Mike, thanks very much.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Feel better.

Cincinnati Officer's dispatch to wes Knowles Lane yesterday and Westwood
reports of a person shot. Officers on the scene performed

CPR on the victim. No further details available. A developing story,
of course. We have the city bird shooting with a
couple of people shot yesterday, requiring have to have purval
to come out and apparently acknowledge that we have a
problem with gun violence in town. Hm, the violence continues.
The recent violence and Fountain Square and Government Square is

(55:59):
beyond the pale and intolerable, said Aftab par of Ball.
I thought we had a peaceful, quiet community. This violence
is in the literal heart of our downtown. We've been
relentless with a litany of both police and non police interventions,
and yet the violence continues. Huh, I thought there was

(56:19):
nothing to see here. Isn't that the word that Aftab
par of Ball put out earlier? Anyway, six thirty five

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krsat deep Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Sex forty here fifty five kr seeb Talk station. World's
in a bit of a subultory mood, seeing that we
have some sort of at least movement toward peace and
part of the Middle East anyway, everybody painfully aware of
what's going on there, and the idea we've got the
hostages released last twenty living still waiting on the remains

(57:42):
of the dead hostages, and of course Israel's getting ready
to release the Palestinian hostages. And Walter Mead had an
interesting observation about where we are on this guess, turning
to and relying on and standing on the shoulder of
giants this morning, give them my mental health state, and
I thought good, given by the standard of Donald Trump's
larger than life second term October thirteenth looms large, he writes,

(58:06):
released to the last living hostages from their inhumane and
indefensible captivity. Trump's speech at the Cannesset and his presence
shortly afterward in Charmel, shake Egypt, at a global summit
that only he could convene, were extraordinary. As much too
soon to tell what that all means. Events are still

(58:27):
moving quickly and it will be months or even years
before the result could be fully assessed. But as joyful
videos of hostages reuniting with their families flooded the Internet,
we know five things about what just happened. The first,
most obvious, the hostages are home. The dark cloud hanging
over Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. Since the atrocity

(58:47):
of October seventh, twenty three is lifted. There is mourning
for the dead, horror at the survivor's suffering, and gratitude
for the heroism of those who gave their lives in
Israel's defense. After the attacks, the nightmare is over and
the healing can begin. The second is that only Trump
could have made this happen. No other living politician could

(59:08):
have reassured Israel threatened a most and passed together a
broad Arab coalition the way he's done. Mister Trump has
his shortcomings, and even he wonders if he will get
into heaven, but he's a leader who bestrides the world
seen like no other. Third, Benjamin Netanyahu has cemented his
place in history of the Jewish people. He has his

(59:30):
flaws and has made his share of costly mistakes, but
the same can be said of ancient leaders like Samson
and David, as well as modern heroes like David, Ben Jurian,
Go to My Air and Moshi Diane. Mister Netanyahu imposed
his leadership on a country that yearned to reject him,
brought order to an unruly coalition, and combined flexibility of

(59:50):
means with steadfastness of purpose to bring Israel's greatest and
most harrowing war to a triumphant conclusion. Fourth strike, Mister.
Despite mister Trump's optimism, the Middle East hasn't yet entered
an era of peace. That the summit in Shuramau Shak
Egypt communicats will be signed, But the core cause of

(01:00:11):
the conflict hasn't been and perhaps can't be resolved. The
existence of a Jewish state in the predominantly Muslim Middle East.
Present East presents an unendurable civilizational and religious affront to
so many of the region's population that Israel has had
to become an armed camp to survive. And the Israel

(01:00:33):
Palestinian conflict is far from the only one in Middle East.
Ethnic and religious tensions have ripped Syria, and Love and apart.
Chie hottest ideology is resurgent in much of the region.
Even so called modern Islamism, as in recept Erdigon's Turkey,
refuses to repudiate groups like Kamas, you know, and looking

(01:00:56):
at his five points that may be the core of
everything right there religious disputes which I will call childish
fifth while the Goazac Cords are President Trump's most spectacular
triumph to date, his biggest international challenge. Why I had
Hamas like its backers in Iran, was and is a

(01:01:20):
nihilistic force. It was the enemy of every Arab government
in the Middle East. It had no positive program for
the people it ruled, and its political goals were utterly impractical.
Its tactics were as revolting as its methods were brutal.
That a movement so deranged and misguided could command such
a wide support among the world's restless youth, reflects in

(01:01:43):
part the careless sentimentalism of people whose genuine concern for
the Palestinians blinded them to the cynical and bloodthirsty duplicity
of Hamas Amen. And of course, the virus of anti Semitism,
to which half educated mind seem particularly vulnerable, had its

(01:02:04):
part to play. But the capacity to incite greta thunbird
to join a flotilla isn't real international power. Mister Trump's
triumph of Ramas comes from his ability to organize a
coalition of realists against the pretensions of fanaticists. The Gulf
Arabs want stability in the region so they can develop

(01:02:26):
their economies and attract international investment without the perpetual upheaval
of chaos on which Amas thrives. That's the lynchpin to
Trump's success in the region. Wake up, idiots, you guys
can trade together. You can live and thrive and survive together.
It'll be good for all of your economies if you
just put down your stupid idological beliefs and get along
and quit killing each other. What a great message. Huh Okay,

(01:02:51):
we here in Saudi Arabia can live a peaceful existence
is a country Saudi Arabia, while oh, look over there,
Cutter is living its own peaceful existence with and its porters.
And look, yeah, we can play along with Israel just fine.
Do we like that they were there? Well maybe not
because they did take over some previously, you know, Arab
dominated space or whatever. But this problem's been going on

(01:03:11):
for thousands of years. Okay, so let's play nicely with
the Israelis. Apparently they got their act together. They have
a booming economy. Look at them compared to where we are.
Uh sorry, it's my mood today. Back over to Trump's
triph over Moss. They also want to most to suffer
the kind of crushing defeat that would reduce its ideological

(01:03:32):
appeal among their own citizens. This would be the Arab
Gulf Arab states. Yes they do. Israel wants security for
its people, stating the obvious. Europeans won an end to
a war that agitated their immigrant populations and increased the
risk of domestic terror. Look at what's going on in
the streets of Europe. Yes, violent protests in the name
of the Palestinian state or whatever. Mister Trump's genius was

(01:03:57):
to find a frame work within which these different powers,
with their different priorities could end could work together toward
their common goal. It is a real accomplishment and deserves
the world's gratitude and respect. But the next steps will
be harder. The Russian and Chinese governments, even when misguided,

(01:04:18):
have a rationally and consistency that Hamas a rationality rather
inconsistency that Hamas never did. Hamas dug tunnels. Russia and
China build nuclear weapons, and I will interject and also
hack into our critical infrastructure. The skill of flexibility, encouraged

(01:04:39):
that mister Trump demonstrated in his campaign against a Moss,
will stand him in good stead in the competition with
Russia and China. But it remains to be seen whether
this president and the country he leads are ready for
this sterner tests to come. Food for thought. Thank you

for Sincani City Council will get his plans for the
insane police Department and figure out how the campaign's going.

(01:07:06):
That's at seven thirty. In the meantime, related to absolutely
nothing been talking about. I just got a big kick
out of this UH with FCC non compliant. Editorial comments
written on the article by executive producer Joe Strecker Inhaler's

(01:07:27):
people that have respiratory conditions, you know, the inhalers you have, Well,
apparently you are killing the planet. You evil inhaler using asthmatics.
The study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association JAMMA. Apparently researchers found that inhalers approve for asthma
and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease generated twenty four point nine

(01:07:55):
million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent a mind in
the US alone between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty four
over a ten year period. They say this is the
equivalent to the emissions of five hundred and thirty thousand
gasoline powered cars every year, gord to the authors, scaled

(01:08:21):
across tens of millions of inhaler's dispense annually. These emissions
drive global warming, exacerbating the very respiratory conditions inhalers are
meant to relieve. Oh wow, it's a circuitous problem here.
Global warming is causing you to have asthma. Asthma were
required to use the inhaler. The inhaler causes global warming
sucks to be I guess us living on the planet Earth.

(01:08:43):
That is, if you believe carbon dioxide plant food is
actually a problem, and I am one that does not.
Twenty eight million Americans have asthma thirty four million of
chronic lung disease. According to the Asthma Allergy Foundation, these
cases are ready expected to grow so as climate change
makes air pollution worse, they said, meter dos inhaler is

(01:09:08):
the most harmful to the environment, accounting for ninety eight
percent of emissions over that decade long period. I think
this is a revealing of the reality that we're facing
here now for folks like me who regularly observe that
the city of Cincinnati can't do a blank and thing

(01:09:29):
about global warming on its own, notably because we have
the Chinese Communist Party belching out emissions that go across
the entire planet Earth's atmosphere. We're all breathing the same
air they belch out more than we remove from the
environment nationally. So City of Cincinnati, you can just forget

(01:09:51):
about your efforts. It's not helping anything. And then we
have this pervasive problem of inhalers. Probably just one singular
product among most notably thousands of products out in the
world that have some connection with putting carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere. And while Greta Thunberg cries, the trees and

(01:10:14):
the plants are all well very happy with that reality.

Brian Thomas here. Happy to welcome back to the fifty
five Karisee Morning Show. Can Cober, the president of the
Fraternal or Police Chapter sixty nine, which represents the sincint
Police Department. Ken Cober, are always a pleasure to have you
on the fifty five KRSEE Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Hey, good morning, Brian, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Too bad. There's nothing to talk about, right Ken? What
your react? You got a couple more shootings. Violence obviously
a real problem. The city of Cincinnati residents at least
feel violence is a problem. You and I could cite
all day long the number of crimes and violence and
shootings and murders and everything else that's going on in
the city of Cincinnati. We I think we have a
crime problem, and that way up until like a moment

(01:12:02):
in time ago, a tab parvol denying that we have
a problem, thinking that MAGA is going to like ruin
the progress we've made in terms of safety. I saw
his campaign literature the other day. He kept talking about
how safe we are, and I don't feel that way.
What is your reaction? What is your perception at least
the since a police department, the officers that you represent,

(01:12:23):
their perception of safety and how what is their perception
of the mayor. I know you got a new confidence
vote with Mayor have tab Purvol, so let's talk.

Speaker 15 (01:12:32):
Well, I could tell you that you know the perception
and it's it's actually reality is that crime is running
rampant right now. And you know the members spoke doing
a vote of no confidence. They don't have any confidence
in this mayor leading the city, which is exactly why
it's done. And you know, I've been throughout the districts
and I know it has gotten full support of every
officer that I've talked to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
Well, he see and I know Corey Bowman's you know
comment about after to have Parvoll. He's been react active.
You know, something bad happens. He doesn't get ahead of
problems with regard to policing, staffing, where they're located. I
don't know how much control Mayor aftab Provol has about
where the police are allocated in terms of resources. You
obviously need a couple of hundred additional officers. That's been

(01:13:15):
a ongoing problem. But does he have any control over
how these police officer resources are allocated or is that
square in the lap of police chief Diji.

Speaker 15 (01:13:26):
Well, I means somebody within city administration, does I mean?
I know the mayor is taken credit for all the
millions of dollars that has been allocated for the police,
you know, as far as how those resources are deployed,
I'm sure it's a conversation that the chief has with
whether it's a city manager or the mayor. I do
believe ultimately it does fall in the police chief. But

(01:13:48):
you know, of course, we have an election year, so
politics are running rampant, and there's a lot of things
that I believe politicians are interjecting themselves in that isn't
necessarily good for the police department.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Well, specifically, what I would I mean, if I can say,
if if if Ken Cobra FOP president is the mayor,
what would you do and what what is your desire?
What are the desires of the men and women in
uniform right now that aren't being addressed?

Speaker 15 (01:14:13):
Well, let the police chief on the on the police department,
you know, and let her make the decisions that she
feels she needs to make without having city leaders tell her.
This is what you're gonna do. I'm a perfect example
of that. And we saw that cops are being ordered
to work, uh you know, work walking patrols on their
off time, on an off day, they cancel their off

(01:14:35):
days and they order them to work and you know,
walk on Main Street and Vine Street from Central Parkway
to Liberty Street. That wasn't something that the police chief
just came up with. This is something that city Hall does.
And it's things like that that you know, we're we're
using you know, resources there when maybe they could be
used somewhere differently.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Well, there's a lot of neighborhoods in the City of
Cincinnati we've seen to be focusing on the you know,
like Government Square proput problems. Ikneway after I was on
a tear about the issues going on in Government Square,
thinking maybe sort of might be able to hammer it out.
What do you just real quick on that issue because
I was kind of scratching my head over the mayor's
comments looking for changes to Government Square. Wow, why is

(01:15:15):
that the magnet? And if you crack down on Government Square,
which is just loading and unloading zone from my understanding
for buses, wouldn't those reckless you know lawbreaking youths or
whoever's hanging out there, just move someplace else.

Speaker 15 (01:15:29):
Well, you know this has been the topic of discussion
for the last two years now, is you see what's
going on with juveniles. You have juveniles that have no
business being downtown, but because they're given these bus passes
after school, they all congregate downtown. So you have kids
that don't belong, that don't live downtown, that are coming
down there, and of course and they're clashing with kids

(01:15:51):
from other neighborhoods that are driving this violence. And that's
that is the really the crux of what the problems
that we see after school, like Government Square, These aren't
kids that are running around downtown that live down there.
These are kids from Evanston, from Westwood, you know, neighborhoods
all over the city that all come to the central
location that quite honestly a lot of them don't have

(01:16:14):
any business being down there to begin with.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
So, Yeah, in spite of my reaction this morning to
what may I have to have Parwell said, so there
is really something to that? Is it? Is it just
the transportation system generally that by concentrating them there and
by requiring all these these school aged kids to you know,
ride the metro buses and end up in Government Square
because it just that's the where the central location is

(01:16:40):
that needs to be rethought or changed.

Speaker 15 (01:16:43):
Well, yeah, I mean you have, it's been suggested and
it's fallen on deaf ears as you have the transit
center under Second Street that that could be used for
a bus depot. That's exactly what it was built and
designed to be. Yeah, and if you're if the kids
are down there, it's not an attractive rut to me, Yeah,
it's it's there's there's less opportunity for them to go

(01:17:05):
disrupt businesses because you're literally, you know, in a in
a concrete area where it is sole purpose is to
get on one bus to go to another.

Speaker 5 (01:17:16):
You know.

Speaker 15 (01:17:16):
Put it in the heart of downtown, you know, at
Fifth and Walna, in Fifth and Maine, and you have
an opportunity with all these businesses with people there, for
kids just to be disruptive. And like I said, it's
been talked about and there's been so much pushback about it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
That transit tunnel sits empty ninety nine percent of the year.

Speaker 15 (01:17:35):
That's what I believe that they should look at moving
that transit center down there to alleviate some of these problems.

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
It sounds like a brilliant idea. You say, there's been
pushback on that pushback in what I mean, maybe not
necessarily so much from whom? But what what is the
argument against what seems like a very logical solution to
the problem, at least something that it's worth trying out? Right?

Speaker 15 (01:17:59):
Well, I know from the metro perspective, and I can
certainly understand where they're coming from, because you have these routes.
They have routes down to literally a tenth of a mile,
how long it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Takes, how much fuel it takes, all these things.

Speaker 15 (01:18:11):
And their contention is if we move at a half
a mile, then the cost of doing business is going
to go up, which I understand that. But the cost
of leaving that where it is and destroying downtown and
businesses I think is probably going to be much greater
than what the cost of fuel is going to be
to move the bus depot half a mile.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Well, if you had to crunch the numbers and the
allocation of police resources and the impact on business alone,
I have to imagine that those two costs combined are
greater than whatever it is would would be the cost
impact of maybe dropping them off down at Second Street.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Now, absolutely, that's what I said.

Speaker 15 (01:18:49):
I mean, we're at the point now where in my
twenty five year career I hadn't heard of of one
shooting at Fountain Square, much less two and five days,
and it's only a matter of time before these businesses
go enough's enough. We're not dealing with this anymore. You know,
you have police officers that are standing in Fountain Square
and there are people shooting each other anyway, So they've

(01:19:12):
got to do something to figure out how to deal
with this. You know, the these traditional methods of a Wow,
we're just going to throw fifty policemen down there. It's
clearly not working. So they're going to have to think
outside of the box and find a way to solve
this problem, and they better solve it quickly.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
FOP President Cankalber, I'm gonna pause, We'll bring it back
and maybe get a few more questions about the situation
in downtown Cincinnati. We do have an election coming up.
We could choose a different path in the city, and
that's been my strong encouragement, most notably since my police
department friends don't have any confidence in have to have
parwall question, do they have confidence in police chief? Teresa Thiji,
let me ask that question coming back Ken preparing you

(01:19:47):
for the next question seven to fifteen right now if
you have Cares City Talks Tea the talk station seven
nineteen fifty five kras De Talk Station. Hope you're having
a decent Tuesday. Brian Thomas with FOP President Kencobra, Chapter
sixty nine represented this in St Police Apartment Ken Cober, Obviously,
no confidence vote means you have no confidence in a

(01:20:07):
marif to have purval you said, you know, leave it
the allocation of resources and police patrols and decision making
with regard to Since Saint Police Department and where they
are that should be left up to police chief three Cythigi.
Do the men and women in uniform have confidence in
police chief? Three cy Thigi. I've heard, and I've heard
it from quite a few of the officers that I know.

(01:20:28):
The answer to that question is no. That's what I
have heard, and I know it's a delicate question to
ask you FOP President Ken Kober, but where are we
with regard to police chief three Cythigi.

Speaker 15 (01:20:39):
Yeah, No, one's come to me and said, look, I
think we should take some kind of vote and no
confidence on the chief. And this is where a lot
of the frustration lies is in two thousand and five,
when the voters passed Issue five that gave the city
the sole authority to hire and fire a police chief,
it completely ruined the position of chief. Now you have

(01:21:02):
the police chief, and it's not just Chief Thiji, it's
been every chief that's come after Chief Shriker when he
retired in twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
They behold to the city manager and the mayor politics
if they say, yeah, it's all politics.

Speaker 15 (01:21:15):
And that's why I've been very very vocal about politicians
need to stay out a law enforcement and unfortunately we
don't have that. We saw when James Craig first got
elected or first got appointed, and he was here for
two years, made some fantastic changes. The troops loved him,
and they got rid of him because the troops loved him.
So now you know, fast forward to Chief Fiji and

(01:21:37):
it's like she's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
And I get it.

Speaker 15 (01:21:40):
Now you have a boss that you have to answer
to that's going to tell you you're gonna do this,
you're gonna do that. And if you don't do it,
then the consequences could be your terminated.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
So would I like to see her do things differently?

Speaker 16 (01:21:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:21:53):
I would, But I also understand that you have somebody
have to answer to. And if the mayor of the city, manager,
or whoever it is that's above you, is telling you
you're gonna do this if you want to stay employed,
that's what you have to.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Do, you know. And I am so glad that I
asked you the question because I had I guess either
wasn't aware or had forgotten the old way versus the
new way. Who is in a better position to determine
who the chief of police is than the police officers themselves?
I mean, you guys are ladies and men, are not
going to select someone that's not going to be in

(01:22:26):
your best interest. You're going to look for the most
competent person, the one who's going to hire based on merit,
who's going to provide promotions based upon merit as opposed
to who's politically connected, who fills in the right checkbox
on some woke identity form. You know, is there any
possibility we can go back to that, Ken? Well?

Speaker 15 (01:22:44):
Yeah, and you know it would take some kind of
bout initiative. But you know, while I understand, you know,
this was the will of the people in two thousand
and five, I think there should be there could be
some compromise to be made. I think anytime you leave
it to one or two people to determine, you know,
whether or not, you know, the police chief is going
to stay in that position, I think that that creates problems.

(01:23:06):
You know what, maybe it's a something where you know,
they put a bout initiative on where you know, we
consider maybe the majority of council decides.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
You know, whether or not we hire or fire somebody.
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (01:23:17):
There's a lot of things that I think need to
be explored. But you know, the position a police chief
needs to come with some protections. You know, if it's
not FOP protection, then they got to be able to
know that they can do and go out and do
what they think is best for the police department, best
for the city of Cincinnati, and do that without fear

(01:23:38):
of making one person upset who's a politician, and and
them have the ability just to get rid of it.
Certainly handcuffs the police chief and that's why you see,
you know, it's not just Cincinnati, but all these major
cities that now have this, they have a new police
chief every two, three four years. Yeah, we've gone through
the same thing here, and it does a disservice not

(01:24:00):
only did the police department to the men and women
that serve this police department, but also for the citizens.
They deserve to have a police chief that is able
to make decisions based off of what they think is
best for law enforcement in the city, not based off
of what a politician thinks we should do.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
And who I would argue that who would know better
as police chief than someone who came up through the
ranks within the City of Cincinnati police department. You hire
somebody from some other city out there in the world,
it's going to take him forever to get up to
speed on how we operate here in the city. You
can't just hit the ground running in that position. I
would believe maybe I'm wrong on that.

Speaker 15 (01:24:39):
No, you're absolutely right, you know, like I said in
James Craig was one of the few. He hit the
ground run and did an absolutely fantastic job. I mean,
he was what this city needed, what the police department
needed at that time, and he did a fantastic job.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
And unfortunately, because he.

Speaker 15 (01:24:53):
Stood on his own two feet and stood up to
you know, at the time, the politicians that were at
city Hall, you know, he was there for two years,
they didn't even offer a contract extension.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
They said, yeah, thanks, but no thanks to you later.

Speaker 15 (01:25:06):
And then of course he went up to Detroit and
did some fantastic work up there. But you know, as
long as this system is in place, you're never going
to have a police chief that is going to stand
there and say, no, I'm going to do what I
think is best as a law enforcement professional. Is you
know if that differs from what a politician says, because
at the end of the day, if they want to

(01:25:26):
stay employed, they're.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
Going to do what politicians tell him to do.

Speaker 15 (01:25:29):
And that's that is a slippery slope and we're seeing
the effects of that now.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
I cannot thank you enough for coming in the Morning
show today, Ken Cober. I appreciate that profound honesty and
eye opening reality of what you're dealing with there. I
think you've hit the nail on the head, my friend,
and first time I've had a discussion involving that component
of the Sinsint Police Department. So maybe we can change
things going down the road. In the meantime, we're stuck
with what we've got and elections do have consequences. FLP

(01:25:56):
President Ken Cober, Thanks again, man, this has been a
really enlightening converce sappreche coming on the shows you about it.
It's seven twenty nine here fifty five krs DE talk station.
Happy Tuesday. We get the inside scoop from bright bart
News on the situation of Middle East peace. We'll get
the Daniel Davis deep Dive coming up in one hour.

(01:26:17):
In the meantime, welcome back to the fifty five cars
morning show run for CINCINNTI Council as a Charter Right candidate,
Aaron Weiner, who also has some congratulations Aaron, welcome back
the FOP endorsement on the heels of ken Cobra being
on the program. Good to have you back on sir.

Speaker 16 (01:26:32):
Thanks for having me. It's great to be back.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
I guess one of the reasons you have the FOP endorsement,
and again, congratulations. I think that speaks volumes right. That's
a really good one. Now you've got an actual written
down for all to see and read proposal, which is
a two pronged approach to deal with the police staffing
shortage and the problems we've got going on the city

(01:26:54):
of Cincinnati. One is the Frontline Home Advantage Program initial
CAP and the other the Officer Retention Incentive strategy. Break
these down for my listeners, because I think that, I mean,
we need more police officers. There's a shortage of officers,
stating the obvious for the world to hear. Everywhere. Everyone
has lost officers because of this whole crap about defunding

(01:27:16):
police and police are all racists and nobody wants to
be a police officer.

Speaker 9 (01:27:19):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
Fine, so we're competing with every other jurisdiction in the
land for police officers. We're already down a couple of
hundred liars. You got hang a carrot of incentive out there,
and I think that's what your program is talking about.
So let's talk about the Frontline Home Advantage Program erin.

Speaker 16 (01:27:38):
Great thank you. So when I got into this, I
wanted to actually have some plans. I didn't want to
just have ideas get on account. So I wanted to
make sure that I actually had a plan, and I
wanted to use what I knew, and that's real estate.
So the front the first prong of the Frontline Home
Advantage program is a down payment assistance program. Let's bring

(01:28:00):
police officers back into our city. I don't think any
of many live in the city. And the first part
of that is a downtayment assistance program. So let's just
say that you save up to seven thousand, five hundred dollars,
We'll match seven thousand, five hundred dollars. All of a sudden,
you have fifteen thousand dollars to put down on a property.

(01:28:24):
So that's five percent of a three hundred thousand dollars house,
which is probably about the average price of a house
right now. The other portion of that is a rental
assistance program. Not all officers are going to be in
a position maybe they want to buy right away. So
let's develop a plan where we give some rental stipends,

(01:28:45):
you know, two hundred and fifty dollars up to eight
hundred dollars. Let's bring in some of our landlords in
the neighborhoods. Let's talk to town properties, talk to uptown and
see if they can give us some breaks on this
to bring to bring people into the city.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
And well, Darren, I got let me just synerject real quick.
On that component. I always thought, you know, having a
police officer in the neighborhood was a good thing. Like
when we were selling our house in Oak Park, Illinois,
there was a cop that lived about four doors down
the street, and so when someone would come to our house,
my wife would always make a point of the Hey,
you know there's a police officer. It's just a few

(01:29:22):
doors down. It's like, hey, you sort of have this
built in extra protection. Not that you're volunteering that police
officer to do law enforcement twenty four to seven, but
I think it is sort of a peace of mind
thing that goes along with the rental, Like, hey, you
got a cop in the building, isn't that a good thing?

Speaker 17 (01:29:39):
Absolutely, you're touching on Really one of the one of
the main byproducts in the holistic aspect of this of
this program is that it addresses lots of issues and
solving crime is.

Speaker 16 (01:29:50):
Not is not a quick fix. That's a long term process.
So what it does it does it brings leadership into
our communities. All of a sudden, people have someone that
can look up to, Maybe children have someone they can
look up to, maybe want to be a police officer someday.
It also brings, like you said, visibility, they're going to
bring the cop cards home. You know what, Lanlard wouldn't

(01:30:11):
want a police officer living in they're building, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
And I think also.

Speaker 16 (01:30:16):
Also to what it does, Brian, which is, I don't
think anyone would have a problem with this, no matter
where you are politically. It deals with the issue of trust, right,
so all of a sudden, someone is your neighbor. It's
hard to be in different when someone's your neighbors. So
you have that, you build that trust with with our
police officers, which really speaks to the community policing, which

(01:30:36):
is which is a cornerstone of our policing in the city.
So to me, it's just so many It solves so
many issues in this process.

Speaker 1 (01:30:46):
I love the idea. The only counter argument to the
incentives you're suggesting for living in the city of Cincinnati
is does requiring a police officer to live within the
city limits operate as a disincentive for outside lateral hires,
Because clearly we have some issues in the city of

(01:31:06):
sin saying in terms of crime and living and all
that kind of thing.

Speaker 16 (01:31:10):
Let me be clear, first of all, it's not even
legal to require them to live here. This is an incentive.
This is a way to it's a recruiting incentive, and
it's a way to add a carrot to our recruiting
process and just an incentive. And with the cost of
rents now, especially some of the younger police officers, if

(01:31:31):
they're getting a break on their rent, it might be
an easy incentive for them to want to come and
work with us. So it's absolutely not a mandate, and
I do not want that to be misconstrued. It's an incentive.
It's an incentive.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
It's there for the taking. If it operates as an
incentive for a lateral higher than bully for everybody, it worked,
So I like it. I really really like the idea
of having a physical police officer sort of in my
building or as my neighbor. I'll emphasize that yet again,
let's pause. That was the frontline home Advantage program. There's
another component to what Aaron's running on, and this is

(01:32:05):
the officer retention incentive strategy. We'll break that down. We
get back at seven thirty five right now, fifty five
K station at fifty five par CEV talk station and
find him online help out his campaign. Aaron Winer on
the program returning it's winer W E I N E
R four f O R Cincinnati dot com. Check out

(01:32:26):
his website. He's common Sense, Sky and Real quickly before
leaving the frontline Home Advantage program providing some financial assistance
to police officers to get a home or some rent assistance.
You are you've been in real estate for I understand
like twenty five years, so you understand this component. But
the funding for this particular program you're you're suggesting will

(01:32:49):
be from, at least in part participating realtors with a
reduction their commission to help deal with that rent reduction.
That's and the seventy five hundred dollars toward purchase of
a home. So do you have folks who are willing
to participate beyond you Erin?

Speaker 16 (01:33:04):
Well, I think let's let's let's let's start with that.
That to be candid, I would I would recuse myself
from doing this program if I were an elected official, jute,
just to.

Speaker 1 (01:33:17):
You know, avoid the appearance of impropriety. Yes, I get it.

Speaker 16 (01:33:20):
In propriety correct, I would certainly be an ardent supporter
of it. But yes, so as as a realtor, we're
it's basically called an acinity program, and certainly they have
them with the hospitals, they have them with with UC
and we're used to if we're working with the relocation
company bringing someone in with Procter and Gamble, we're used

(01:33:43):
to paying a referral fee for that business. And certainly
it's not ideal and some agents like to do it,
some agents don't like to do it, but it's certainly
a part of our business model. We're independent contractors. Either
you do it or you don't. But these referral fees
can be anywhere between thirty five and forty five percent
of the commissions that's earned in the sale. So yeah,

(01:34:06):
people are gonna say, how are you going to pay
for this? Aaron, Well, we've got an industry that's willing
to participate. And I'll tell you I've I've talked to
local people here at Caldwell Banker. You know, we're a
big company. It has to go up to flagpole. But
I talked to Scott Nelson, who's a dear friend of
mine and a brilliant mind in real estate. He loved
the idea. Has to obviously think through the strategics of it,

(01:34:29):
and I'm sure SIPs decline, haven't talked to them yet,
and a lot of the other agents what would have
follow So yes, it's something that we as an industry
I think can easily do. And like I said in
the beginning of the show, I wanted to do something
that I could do. I wanted to have action plans,
and this is what I know clearly.

Speaker 1 (01:34:45):
And we're not talking about a massive volume of money here.
I mean, how many police officers do we have collectively
it's around nine hundred. We need about twelve hundred or so,
So the number of people that would be able to
participate in this is not significant in terms of loss
of commission. So I I it's sound proposal. I really
do believe eron. Now. The other thing, yeah, I know

(01:35:07):
it's it makes great sense to me and officers who
choose to reside in Since any one final component of
that plan a thousand dollars annual residency bonus, I think
that seems to be quite doable.

Speaker 16 (01:35:18):
Absolutely, absolutely, and honestly, I want to offer this to
the police office that are currently starving our city but
maybe live out in the suburbs. Let's let's give let's
let's give it to them, to let's bring them into
the city as well. I mean, we want people in
the city to let let's bring them there too. Maybe
maybe someone who lives in Green Township. They're empty nesters,

(01:35:38):
Let's bring them to one of our condos downtown something
like that. Let's let's let's offer that to them too.
And I definitely want to expand on this. It's a
pilot program. Let's let's open it up to our fire
at some point. Let's let's maybe talk about do we
want this for teachers again, Let's it's bringing leadership into
the city for for these these long term goals. So

(01:35:59):
this is this is where I see this going long term.
But this is my pilot right now.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
Fair enough, now we are losing experienced officers. I am
painfully aware of people officers who are in the DROP program,
which I think the last about five years, they're just saying,
forget about it. I'm done, I can't handle this anymore.
I'm dropping out a drop and I'm just going to retire,
or they're leaving for other police forces. Going back to
this lateral higher phenomenon, if you're a sin st police officers,

(01:36:25):
some other jurisdiction would love to have you working for them,
So how do we deal with this? You have an
officer retention incentive strategy to address this problem.

Speaker 16 (01:36:34):
Correct, correct, So there's several facets to that as well.
And just to give a background, so you only got
like three pages of three or four pages of this report,
and it's a fifteen page report that we've done research
on me and my staff and it's working in different
in different cities like Baltimore and Detroit and Los Angeles

(01:36:54):
and there have you. So we're used to hearing the
people who are getting buyouts to retire early. Well, this
is a buy in, So this is this is sort
of paying people to stay longer. Just to give you
some data, So let's say you're you're getting ready to retire.
Maybe you'll get five thousand dollars if you stay an
extra year, Maybe you stay three additional years as we

(01:37:18):
ramp up on our staffing, up to twelve thousand dollars
to stay instead of leave. It involves one time retention retention.

Speaker 5 (01:37:32):
Dollars.

Speaker 16 (01:37:32):
Let's say you're maybe you're working in a more stressful
location of the city and you're thinking about a one
time incentive targeted incentives. This is focused on retention for
officers with a five to fifty years experience, who, like
you said, might be attracted to go to Blue ash
or Green Township or Springfield Township where I grew up.

(01:37:53):
So these are just some of the ways of keeping
people rewarding them for staying on and investing in our city.

Speaker 1 (01:38:05):
You know what an interesting concept erin I know that
there are private businesses out in the world to offer
bonuses annually for you know, valuable employees. It's a wonderful
thing to know that you have a big bonus potential.
It kind of keeps you on your toes and gives
you an incentive to work a little bit harder. So
I have no fault with paying our police officers a
little bit more, and I like the idea of keeping

(01:38:25):
them around longer. The experience is so so important. Aaron Winer,
it's a Winerfroth Cincinnati dot Com. You know, how's the
campaign going. You're running as a charter right, and I
know you're a great alternative to the status quo we've
got on council. How you feeling out there as you
go from neighborhood to neighborhood and campaigning?

Speaker 16 (01:38:44):
You know, you know, I feel great and truthfully, this
has been has been a great experience for me. I'm
getting a lot of good reception. I'm listening to people,
I'm hearing their concerns. People are saying they hear they see,
they've seen my name, they've heard me on the radio,
they've read about me. And also I you know, I'm

(01:39:05):
immersed in a lot of different communities throughout the city,
and I've been involved in a lot of different things
through throughout my lifetime, so I feel like my exposure
is good. I would say in terms of the new candidates,
I'm probably one of the strongest, if not the strongest.
So I feel good.

Speaker 1 (01:39:20):
Bold statement that's great erin I'm glad you're that it's
all working out for you and you an impressive resume,
and I'll strongly encourage my listeners to check out your
website and look what you've been up to for the
last twenty five years. Fourth generation in Cincinnati, and you're
involved in a lot of different things, including you have
a history in connection with the Cincinni Public schools. Apparently
your mom a retired special education teacher with since a

(01:39:41):
public schools, so you have connection there, but also on
the boards of the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Federation
of Cincinnati. You served on the board of governors with
the Human Rights Campaign, on and on and on, a
demonstrably strong record and some sound ideas for policing. Aaron,
It's been a pleasure speaking with you again, and I
hope we get a chance to talk again before the
in November. And a reminder to listeners early voting is open.

(01:40:04):
Get over to the Board of Elections, cast the vut
for the ones that count, not all nine. I suggest
maybe throwing a vote Aaron Winer's way. Aaron, good talking
with the great ideas, and I'll look forward to talking
to you again real soon.

Speaker 16 (01:40:16):
Thank you, thank you for the opportunity my.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Fifty three fifty five Kannessy de Talk station. Looking forward
to the inside scoop after the top of the r
new is always looking forward to that Trump in the
Middle East peace, that's the subject matter with White House
correspondent Nick Gilberts and plus Daniel Davis deep dive. Yes,
he will talk about the Middle East and peace question mark.
A lot of details to iron out, but the world
seems to be celebrating and obviously given Donald Trump a
bit of a credit for that. But it was a

(01:40:40):
whole series of events that sort of the stars aligned.
It forced Hamas into a corner, and not a good
corner for Hamas. The site better relations between the United
States Turkey gave Trump the leverage among countries with ties
to Hamas. Let's point it out, many of the Gulf
states a little bit of alarm that the war might
endanger the our own security, notably because the Israeli airstrike

(01:41:03):
against the Hamas in Cutter. No one saw that coming.
Cutters like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's the deal here? We're
getting bombed. Hmm, this is a problem. Hamas is in
our neighborhood and Israelers are coming after him. Allah Donald
Trump and his air strikes into countries against whom we
have no declaration of war. Interesting develop that development, that

(01:41:23):
Hamas was undergrowing pressure at home, no money, not able
to keep up the grilla warfare against the Israeli forces,
which really rolled over at Gaza. And in the aftermath
of Hamas entering this deal, you can see that there
are factions fighting amongst themselves. People that you thought were
all aligned together under the Hamas umbrella really not a
bunch of splitter organizations out there, and they're fighting amongst themselves.

(01:41:46):
Benjamin Attanyahu had to publicly agree to end the war,
and that helped Hamas realize that, oh my god, we're
the lone holdout man. We're losing. The world's turning against us.
Des by the fact you may have some pro Hamas
protesters in the streets of New York or elsewhere here

(01:42:07):
in the United States, those college educated, woke youngsters aren't
enough to change the tide for Hamas. So the stars align.
You can say it's divine or not. Progress is being made,
and that is a beautiful thing to behold. I'm looking
forward to what Daniel Davis has by way of analysis
on that at the bottom of the next hour. Of course,

(01:42:28):
we'll be talking about that with Nick gilbertson as well.
Seven fifty five right now fifty five Kirsty Talk Station.
And I apologize I mentioned when I started out the program,
and I also commented on the six o'clock hour, got
this dizzy reality going on. I don't know what it is.
It's like vertigo, you know what think I'm glad I
set it out round positional vertigo. My friend John just

(01:42:51):
said he's got that and there's a maneuver you can
do called the Epply maneuver to get rid of it.
But it's like you're dizzy for some reason. I don't
have allergies, I'm not having any problems with my health
or anything, but I'm just feeling that way. I think
you hit the nail on the head. For whoever called
first and said maybe it's positional vertigo, I think that's it.
I'm gonna do the Apple maneuver when I get off
the program. Hopefully I'll solve this problem and don't want

(01:43:12):
to deal with it much more again, or at least
I have a way out of it. But learn something
every day and I'm included on that. So Inside Scoop
coming up next. I hope you can stick around today.

Speaker 8 (01:43:23):
It's tough headlines coming on what's.

Speaker 7 (01:43:25):
Happening, but what's going on around town, around the country.

Speaker 11 (01:43:29):
I need to know the weather in traffic.

Speaker 8 (01:43:30):
Listen then you'll know. On fifty five KRC talkstation.

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
Eight o six Here fifty five KRRC DE Talk station.
It's Tuesday, which means it is time for the Inside Scoop.
Head on over to the website bright Bard and you
get b R E I T b a rt dot com,
bookmark Breitbart dot com, and do what I do, which
is check it out every single day. I do it
in preparation for the fifty five KRC Morning Show, always
reading what White House correspondent Nick Gilbertson's writing about. Welcome back,

(01:43:59):
Nick Gilbert soon writing on Trump in the Middle East?
Piece you ever thought you'd see today. You got two
dozen world leaders, big ones too, Egyptian president, the amer Cutter,
you got the Turkish president. They're all standing there signing
documents to put an end to this ridiculous war between
Israel and Gaza. It's an amazing accomplishment. Nick, Welcome back.
It's good to hear from me this morning.

Speaker 10 (01:44:20):
Hey Brian, it's great to be here. And certainly, yeah,
I know it's I think this is Trump's crowning achievement
thus far in his term. And you know, it's pretty amazing.
I think some thirty countries were there yes day from
all over the world, so just really remarkable, remarkable stuff
and what to show you to.

Speaker 1 (01:44:39):
Be And there's a lot of details that need to
be ironed out. I know one of the remains of
the deceased hostages, which is sad in and of itself
that we were talking about. You know, they didn't even
keep the hostages alive. A lot of them died, so
we've got that really black mark on the whole process.
But finding the remains of the balance of them, Hamas
claims that it does doesn't even know where they are.

(01:45:01):
There's so many different I suppose factions of Hamas out
in the world. They're fighting amongst themselves now. But are
these like splitter groups within the Hamas umbrella that are
keeping these the dead hostages.

Speaker 10 (01:45:14):
Yeah, I think at this point there's been so all
twenty of the living hostages were you know, returned right
day and reunited. But I know they were saying that
there were twenty eight they believed the presidents of last
week that were still or that were deceased tragically, horrifically,
and I know they returned. For of the deceased, I

(01:45:37):
don't think they've been identified yet those remained, so by deduction,
there there's twenty four bodies that need to be you know,
relocated and recovered and brought home and returned to their
loved ones.

Speaker 1 (01:45:50):
Do we know right now? One of the original terms
of the twenty point plan that that Donald Trump rolled
out was Hamas must disarm. A question have they agreed
to do that? And second question is sort of a
follow up to the where are the dead hostages? If
AMAS doesn't even know within its multiple splitter organizations where
the dead hostages are, can it really agree on behalf

(01:46:12):
of you know, like the I don't know campaign for
Free Galilee subset of Hamas. Can they guarantee that all
of these different entities would disarm?

Speaker 10 (01:46:22):
That's a that's a great question, Brian. I know the
President said yesterday and these other countries that were kind
of instra are key here in bringing this deal about
and I know, uh, you know, like Egypt, Turkey, Qatar,
all those other countries. President Trump, when when he was
talking about supporting Gaza yesterday, he put a major emphasis

(01:46:44):
on militarization of Gaza, you know, of of of the
police or rather of gozzins, And he was talking about
a police force that would kind of, you know, be
be separate and kind of you know, keep order in Gaza,
but a heavy emphasis on demilitarization. And I think the

(01:47:05):
term you use was an honest civilian police force to create,
you know, a safe condition for the.

Speaker 9 (01:47:11):
People in Gaza.

Speaker 10 (01:47:12):
So I know that's where we put a heavy emphasis on.
So again, we'll see and this is all very you know,
as this piece skill, I think they're on step six
or seven somewhere in yeah, or seven or eight. So yeah,
this as this goes on, I mean, so far, so good, right,
But you know, we'll see how things continue to work.

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
Out well, Nick, And I hate to be honest with you.
I I want to be very optimistic, but I'm old
enough to remember. You know, everyone in every presidential administration
since I've been born has been trying to negotiate peace
in the Middle East. It doesn't often and hardly ever,
if ever, works out. I know with the Abraham of Corns,

(01:47:53):
Donald Trump made some really great inroads in getting folks
to play nicely together for their own economic benefit. I mean,
who can argue with that.

Speaker 16 (01:48:00):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
Hey, if we quit fighting and spending all of our
money on guns and military, we might have booming economies.
There's an idea. But how do you feel about this
going forward? The devil's always in the details, as I've
said too many times. But you got six of the
steps toward twenty being accomplished, and there's some large stumbling blocks,
notably disarmament, and then how much of the of the

(01:48:21):
gods of territories, ill is Israel going to control if
any and who's going to govern lord knows they need
better government than Hamas. So what about those items, Nick.

Speaker 10 (01:48:33):
Yeah, absolutely, I think I think one thing that is good.
You know, they have going for them here. Everybody in
the steel has going for them as the presence of
President Trump. And I think, you know, Secretary of State
Marco Rubio down to Special Envoy Steve Witcoff, right, And
I think as they go along through this, if there
are any hiccups, I think, you know, these are very

(01:48:54):
competent people, and I think they've shown that they can,
you know, bring different people to the table kind of
work things out between them, whether it be the character
or the stick, right, And I think that that's a
that's a that's a critical thing here, and that's something
we certainly didn't see in the last administration. That couldn't
even you know, get the ball rolling any anywhere close

(01:49:17):
to a potential piece deal here. And uh so I think,
you know, yeah, well we'll see how it all shakes out. Again.
Everything's you know, very tensitive here, but I think so far,
so good. And uh, I think that was such a
strong showing yesterday too in the region to have all

(01:49:38):
those different leaders kind of kind of come together, you know,
I think it's I think it's a very promising sign
and a positive one. So that's that's that's what I
can share that well.

Speaker 1 (01:49:51):
And I suppose that there was a lot of maybe
i'll use the word pressure, whether or not it was
pressure or not to get all of those world leaders
to appear this sort of as a massive showing of
force against Hamas. The rest of the world is on
one side of the argument, you're on the other. I mean,
you're in a losing position Hamas. I think that was

(01:50:12):
on full display yesterday.

Speaker 10 (01:50:15):
Absolutely, you had countries represented from from every single continent.
I think even the President of Paraguay was there yesterday
from the all important but I think that just goes
to show what a what a broad coalition of countries
were present yesterday. And then you know you had all
these not just Trump, right, but you had Western leaders

(01:50:38):
from uh you know, I think Native Secretary General Secretary
Mark Mark Rudy, you had Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney,
uh uh, Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister Emmanuel McCrone
from France, Mark Carney from Canada. So really, you know,
you have the Western world involved, You had all these
countries from Asia as well. I believe you had a

(01:51:01):
Japan over there, and then even countries that Trump has
already broken piece deals with, right so our media Azerbaijan,
they were there together. Trump just ended, you know, I
believe a thirty plus a y or something war between
those two countries a few months ago, one of you know,
seven deals he's made that have held up between countries,

(01:51:25):
but leading up to this right between you know, bringing
him as to the table and getting them to accept
this deal. So you know, he's got eight so far
under his belt since returning to office in January, kind
of averaging one a month here, and I think, you know,
this is a granddaddy.

Speaker 9 (01:51:41):
Of them all so far.

Speaker 1 (01:51:43):
It is truly remarkable, Nick, as you run through that,
it's just absolutely amazing in such a short period of time.
You know, I can be a critic of Donald Trump
from time to time, and everybody is worthy of some
measure of criticism. No one walks on water. But I mean,
just since January of this year, how much he's been

(01:52:03):
able to accomplish. I mean, I don't know. I just
I'm amazed at what this, what Donald Trump has been
able to do. And the other component of this, which
is allowed for this peace process to move forward, Egypt
finally opened its border up so we can have the
flow of humanity going back and forth into the region.

Speaker 10 (01:52:19):
That that was a huge hurdle, absolutely, And I think
that that goes to show too how President Trump's relationship
with Cisi over there is just very different from how
Obama and Biden kind of alienated Egypt does an ally.
And so you know, again, I think it goes to
show Trump Trump being the ultimate deal maker and pragmatists.

(01:52:42):
He works with what he has, right, what do you
give him? And you know, he's very good at understanding
what's going to motivate people and what won't. And I
we've literally seen this from him for the past what
fifty years, going back to his part his private sector days,
you know, when he was kind of repainting the skyline
there in New York City. So for me, it's, uh,

(01:53:05):
it's it's truly remarkable stuff. And uh yeah, it's it's
it's quite something. Well, I'll tell you what I think
to go, oh yeah, and I think to you know,
I just people forget to Like two months ago he
just like broker this amazing or rather historic trade deal

(01:53:26):
between the European Union.

Speaker 9 (01:53:28):
And in the United States.

Speaker 10 (01:53:30):
I think, uh, you know, just just whether it be deadlines.
He hit him as with this this pretty pretty uh
serious statement on October thirties, like he said, look, this
is the last chance for a master agree or quote
all hell like no one has ever seen will break
out against them, right, and you know, within a couple
hours you get them agreeing to come to the table.

(01:53:52):
And and we've seen just Trump use the deadline over
and over and over again, whether it be with tariffs,
whether it be with his legislative agenda, the one big
beautiful bill. He's very good at this and bringing different
sides together and getting them to agree to that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:08):
Well, Nick, because he follows through. Unlike Barack Obama, who
drew red lines left and right, never did bother do
anything after someone crossed the red lines, almost in open
defiance of Barack Obama, and to a certain degree, to
the extent Joe Biden did anything, no one paid any
attention to what he was doing. I mean, if you
don't listen to Trump. He tells you exactly what he's
gonna do and then pull then delivers on it. So yeah,

(01:54:28):
I think that all hell's going to break. Luke's comment
in the wake of an aftermath of him bombing the
hell out of Iran with those bunker busters, with Israel
bombing Cutter, with whom they have no adversarial relationship. If
you got Hamas in your house, We're going to come
after your house. I mean, these are all realities that
everybody was facing. So yes, a strong president who delivers

(01:54:51):
on his red lines needs to be taken seriously. Let
me ask you this along those lines, Nick, what does
Iran make of this? If you can, yes, and I
want to put you on the spot. But Iran's got
to be I think a little bit uh concerned about
these developments.

Speaker 10 (01:55:07):
Yeah, I think you know, this isn't good for Iran.
Yesterday and they're dealing with these massive sanctions. You know,
Trump just kind of set there or you know, made
their neutralize their nuclear program a few months ago with
those strikes on Corduna, tons Esbaham like you were like
you were saying, and that you know, sends a message
to everybody else too, that's a side thing. But yeah,

(01:55:29):
I think, uh, you know this that you have all
these countries in the region and you know, kind of
pushing towards a stabilized region, pushing towards peace. And you
know when we see this, this happened with Hamas yesterday.
I mean if if I think that goes to show,
you know, Hamas is a cell essentially right of Iran.

(01:55:52):
They get funding from there, they traditionally did, so I
think that goes to show, you know, the weakness of Iran.
You know, the President Trump said yesterday he thinks Iran
what wants to make a deal, wants to come along
and make a deal eventually. So he was kind of said, look, uh,
you know, I hope to talk to them and eventually

(01:56:12):
right when they want to come to the table. And
he said he wants to take the sanctions off and
he wants to see Iran prosper also noting too, like
they can't survive with with these massive sanctions they're facing.
So basically seriously, you know, using using the stick there
pretty heavy, also offering the carrot in terms of you know,

(01:56:34):
wanting to bring them middle wanting to bring them into.

Speaker 16 (01:56:38):
You know, uh.

Speaker 1 (01:56:41):
Uh, you know, a peaceful coalition.

Speaker 12 (01:56:45):
Exactly exactly.

Speaker 10 (01:56:46):
You got the words for me. But President Trump said
yesterday too, I think, you know, the Middle East incredible destiny,
and he said is a safe and prosperous, beautiful crossroad
of culture and commerce, faith in humanity, and a geographic center.
He also said it could be the geographic center of
the world. So I think that goes to show his vision.

(01:57:10):
And that's that's also you know, I ran could go
down that path. I think if if they made an
honest and earnest effort and showed President Trump that they
wanted to, then again, if they don't want to, you know,
you can see President trumpell. You know, we'll do what
he feels he needs to do.

Speaker 1 (01:57:28):
Right clearly well, and you know, honestly, if you step
back from whatever is driving and motivating them, and I would,
I would say it's obviously it's hatred toward Israel, it's
religious fundamentalism. There is the core of their problems. If
they just walked away from that ideology and said, all right,
we're going to be Muslims, we're going to be Islamic,
We're going to be you know, enjoy our own faith.
But you know what, it's not worth fighting with our

(01:57:51):
next door neighbor. It's costing us, it's our economy's ruin.
We have nothing to show for all of this war
for decades and decades, if not centuries. If we just
put down our war weapons machine and just start talking
about commerce in industry, we're going to have a healthy,
prosperous country. And we can just abide our own religion,
within our own within the four corners of our own country.

(01:58:12):
Problem solved.

Speaker 10 (01:58:15):
Yeah, I think that's that's literally the easiest route for
them to take, right, Like you know, but obviously, you know,
there's there's all sorts of years of fundamentalisms that have
taken place, all sorts of youths that were raised under
this too. So again, you know, it's it's it's you know,

(01:58:36):
it's kind of hard to read the tea leaves, but
it's it looks peace looks promising right now, especially after yesterday,
especially that show of unity you know you have again
from around the globe, every single continent essentially represent maybe
not Australia, right, but.

Speaker 9 (01:58:53):
Uh yeah, I.

Speaker 10 (01:58:56):
Think it shows the show of unity and the show
where everybody wants this to go and everybody's kind of
on the same page here, And I think the key
is those other Arab countries in the region that are
you know, brought into this prosperous coalition already as you said,
and you know, want to uphold that and even brought
in and expand it. And look, I think if you

(01:59:19):
can bring peace to the region too, Like, imagine what
this does for a potential trade route maybe, right, yea,
or what could mean for that. I know much was
made in the first term about a potential iMac corridor,
right and that run from India through the Middle East,
through Europe and the United States. So you know, peace
in the Middle East would be massive for that. And

(01:59:42):
I'm sure China's a little worried about about what happened
yesterday too, So pretty interesting stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:59:50):
Hey, doors wide open for peace. Everyone prospers with peace.
Read about it every single day. White House Correspondent Nick Gilbertson,
always a wonderful conversation with you. I appreciate you and
everybody at Breitbart is doing each day. And again we'll
encourage my listeners the bookmark your website Breitbart dot com. Nick.
Until we talk again, have a great day and week.

Speaker 10 (02:00:07):
My friend YouTube, Brian, thanks again for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:00:11):
Always a pleasure. Eight twenty two. Right now, stick around
the Daniel David fifty five KARC the talk Station, a
twenty nine to fifty five karsite talk station. Tuesday means
his time for the alliterative podcast Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
I'll encourage my listeners to check that out wherever they
get their podcasts and always tune in at this time
and Tuesdays on the fifty five krsee Morning show. Welcome back,

(02:00:32):
retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis Deep Dive boy, and we've
got a lot to talk about today. Good to see
you again. I get to see it.

Speaker 2 (02:00:38):
Good to be here.

Speaker 1 (02:00:39):
It's a pleasure. Well, the whole world was on full
display yesterday. I had representatives from I think every country
or every continent rather except Australia showing up for the
Well the initial signing of what looks like, dare I
even say the words out loud, peace in the Middle East,
at least between Israel and Hamas. What an amazing development.

(02:01:00):
Now your reaction on this. The stars clearly aligned for
a variety of different reasons which allowed this to come together.
But I think the idea that you've got what I
will characterize as the world the leaders from the world
on one side, and you've got Hamas obviously isolated from
a global perception they were backed into a corner.

Speaker 18 (02:01:23):
Well, they were in your right that there were many,
many reasons why this came together. I would say at
the outset that I would not go as far as
to say peace. I would say that the end of
the hostilities have happened, and there is a shot at peace.
But even within the terms that are set out here,
there is a two phased operation. Phase one was basically

(02:01:44):
a ceasefire and a return of the hostages from both sides,
which has taken place. But Phase two hasn't even been
negotiated yet. There's still a lot of problems to go
with that. So I don't want to get too optimistic,
but I am incredibly grateful and happy that this is
hostilities has happened, because I've always said, you've got to
get the killing of the innocent people stopped first to

(02:02:05):
even have a shot at an enduring peace, and it's
going to be really hard. But listen, we got to
give props to President Trump because he put it's not
just that Hamas was isolated, they've been oscillated. It's also
that President Trump was willing to put pressure in both directions,
on Hamas and on the Israeli side, because, as you'd
certainly know, there's many on the Israeli side that did
not want a cease fire. They only wanted a military victory.

(02:02:28):
So everybody had to give a little something to get here.
And President Trump put the pressure wherever it needed, and
then he got the support from all those countries across
the world, like you mentioned, So he gets full props
for that and our great hope that this does translate
into an enduring piece.

Speaker 1 (02:02:43):
Yeah, and no one is more hesitant to declare peace
in the Middle East than me, sir. I've been down
thisfore the road before, only to be met with disappointment.
So yeah, as I've repeatedly said on the show, here,
devil's in the details. One of those devils though, talk about,
you know, getting the players negotiate, getting the border with
Egypt open to allow the back and forth flow of

(02:03:04):
humanity and humanitarian relief, and that was a big step
as well. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 18 (02:03:09):
And then in fact this I think that they're getting
nearly all the old fences and all the entrances opened
up so that you can get up to four hundred
trucks per day for now ramping up to six hundred.
That's to plan anyway, we'll see if that happens, but
that is a massive increase over what it has been.
And also there were only four feeding.

Speaker 1 (02:03:30):
Spots for the entire Gosze strip.

Speaker 18 (02:03:32):
Almost all of the three of the four were in
the far south. Now then they're going to spread that
back out. See I guess the initial withdrawal line, the
so called yellow line perhaps you heard about that was
that will still leave Israel in control of about fifty
eight percent of the strip. So in that remaining forty
two percent, now more vehicles with food is going in

(02:03:53):
to start alleviating and ending the suffering that was going
on with the food shortages. So that's another good, good
start on there. But like I say, there's still a
lot of challenges to face even in the near term.

Speaker 1 (02:04:05):
Now and you're better, you're obviously more knowledgeable and skilled
at understanding what's going on. But within Hamas, the apparently
are fighting amongst themselves inside Gaza. What I perceive is
something along the lines of the movie The Life of
Brian from Monty Python. You get the Judean People's Front,
you get the People's Front of Jidea, you got the
campaign for Free Galley, and they're all splitter organizations. All

(02:04:27):
of them collectively hate the Romans, and this part case,
all of them collectively hate the Israelis. But they don't
sound like they're as coordinated as I think I was
led to believe, or maybe the world was led to
believe under one hamas tight umbrella. That's why, at least
I understand. This is where you are to correct me
when I'm wrong. Why they can't identify or locate some

(02:04:47):
of these dead hostages. They don't quite know where they
are because they're being held by various splitter organizations, or
am I wrong?

Speaker 18 (02:04:55):
Well, yeah, I'll address both of those issues. First of all,
with the issue with the hostage part of the problem.
In fact, the main problem with identifying the deceased hossages
is that many of them were buried or I guess
just laid in some of the areas where subsequent Israeli
airstrikes level the buildings and the whole thing got buried,
so they don't even know where they are or can't

(02:05:17):
reach them, and so that's going to take a lot
of time. And you've seen all those pictures of the
whole gaza strip basically being rubbled, so it's understandable that
that's going to be incredibly difficult as far as that goes.
But the second issue there, I think there's some analysis
that there have been significant firefights between Palestinians and Hamas
of late, because listen, many times I think on your show,

(02:05:39):
I've had issue with the Israeli government, well things they do,
they're the ones that are dropping bombs, et cetera. But man,
you can't go much farther without saying that Hamas has
been the absolute most catastrophic thing to happen to the
Palestinian people since this thing began, because whatever they thought
they were going to accomplish on ten seven two twenty
twenty three, the end result has been mass destruction of

(02:06:02):
the entire place and the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Speaker 5 (02:06:05):
They're tired of that.

Speaker 18 (02:06:07):
They're tired of the as you said, they're tired of
the Israeli side who's been putting the bombs, But they're
as tired and maybe more so on the guys that
kept this going. So they want them to get out.
They want them to leave and give them a chance
to actually have some sort of deal going forward where
they can have a chance.

Speaker 2 (02:06:23):
And a hope for a future.

Speaker 18 (02:06:24):
And I think that if Hamas doesn't make good on
its promises to leave, et cetera, they may find more
trouble with the Palestinians than with the IDF.

Speaker 1 (02:06:34):
Isn't that what I'll say, local conflict like within Gaza
and among the leadership with the Maas or lack thereof.
Isn't that sort of the general concept that the Middle
East is now sort of embracing, beginning with the abraham
peace of courts. If we all just agree that we're
tired of terrorists, we're tired of fighting each other. If
we just start trading and playing nice together, regardless of

(02:06:54):
our differences, we're all going to benefit economically. It's going
to be a powerhouse area of the world. Just put
the damn guns down. So it's kind of a miniature
version of the broader challenge in the Middle East, which
seems that we are definitely making progress toward resolution these
conflicts between the various Arab countries.

Speaker 18 (02:07:12):
Well, listen, the Gulf Corporation Council has been for more
than a year emphatically saying a lot of those things.
They say, we want to have improved relations with Israel.
Of course President Trump it's his signature thing, so he
would love the Abraham Accords to expand. Israel has recently
said that they want ned Yahu specifically, they want normalized

(02:07:33):
relations with the rest of the Middle East. So that
is on the table that all the main parties have
an interest in doing that, but that's going to require
some giving, especially on the Israeli side, because, like I said, internally,
a lot of them want to have a military victor
here and then they want to get this other stuff.
But if it doesn't it results in the Palestinian people

(02:07:54):
having some kind of future and a hope, and whether
that's a distant possibility for a state of their own
or some kind of autonomous freedom where they can thrive
as a people, at least the hope of it. Then
the rest of the GCC probably is not going to
be willing to do that. But if they can get there,
then I think we actually have a broader shot. So

(02:08:14):
there is a possibility, there's a path to potential piece,
but it's going to take a lot, a lot of
hard work, but it is there.

Speaker 1 (02:08:21):
So that is good news. Step in the right direction
and connection with the Middle East. I'll take any step
in the right direction. Daniel Davis, really quickly. You mentioned Hamas.
Obviously they've been the disrupting factor. They ruled that area,
they were the governing force. Who steps in If we
assume Hamas is out, what coalition or what group of

(02:08:41):
acceptable people is going to step in to provide the
leadership for this region.

Speaker 18 (02:08:46):
Well, that's what's going to have to That's part of
the fly in the ointment the difficulties because Israelis said
they have to approve whoever goes in.

Speaker 8 (02:08:54):
But the Palestinians say.

Speaker 18 (02:08:55):
We want to choose who is going to lead us,
not have it given by the you know, our enemy
that over the last two years, et cetera. There is
a guy named more Marwan Bukhari who is long respected
among all the different Palestinian factions and they want him,
but for some reason, Israel has not released him yet,
even though they asked him in this prisoner exchange that

(02:09:16):
just happened. We'll see how that works out. But the Palestinians,
minus Hamas, they want to decide that on their own,
and that's one of the next near term challenges.

Speaker 1 (02:09:28):
Certainly, I can understand their one two the right to
self determination, pivoting over as we must Russia Ukraine. I
read this horrific statistic, and you and I have talked
about the fog of war. How many people are actually
dying and being killed in the Russian Ukraine conflict Politico
article Russia bleeds troops from microscopic frontline gains initial sentence.

(02:09:48):
Russia lost two hundred and eighty one five hundred and
fifty soldiers in Ukraine in the first eight months of
this year.

Speaker 18 (02:09:59):
I'll just tell y'all, I don't believe that for a second.

Speaker 1 (02:10:01):
And well, I was going to say, even if it's
half of that, we lost what fifty four thousand Americans
fighting the Vietnam War for more than a decade, fifteen
plus years. I mean, if this number is even half
of that, the amount of life loss is just amazing.

Speaker 5 (02:10:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:10:17):
I don't think it is even half that. And you've
seen the Institute for the Study of War, which is
big time pro Ukraine, revealed over the last couple of months,
especially that Russia has significantly changed its tactics to where
they have focused on firepower to destroy the Ukraine armed
forces and minimized the exposure to their troops and they

(02:10:37):
are succeeding at that. And I have recently talked to
two separate people in the US military hierarchy, i'll just say,
with access to classified information, and they have not revealed
the exact information, but they said that that is wildly
out of proportion, that that's what people want people to
believe in the West so that they keep supporting to
think they're succeeding.

Speaker 1 (02:10:58):
But they said it is not true.

Speaker 18 (02:11:00):
Russia is not suffering anywhere near those kind of casualties,
and you see that on the front because they continue
to go forward as opposed to the Ukraine side, which
is suffering those casualties. And that's why it's so hard
for them to bring all these reserves and even shore
up the line.

Speaker 2 (02:11:15):
And they're making.

Speaker 18 (02:11:15):
Significant losses in the Koupiansk and in the other areas
of the Donetk Front that have really started to pick
up speed here of late. So it's not I think
some people want that to sound like it's good news
for the Ukraine side, but it's more bad news as
far as I can see.

Speaker 2 (02:11:31):
And even more reason.

Speaker 1 (02:11:32):
Why we need to get this war wrapped up even
more Well, your comments are reflective of exactly why I
brought this up, because I read the statistic this morning
with a huge measure of skepticism because where do they
pull these figures from. I don't know, but the volume
of casualties just seemed unimaginable. Any chance that peace might
break out, given that we've got some steps in the

(02:11:53):
right direction between Israel and Hamas, that it might catch
on between Russia and in Ukraine.

Speaker 18 (02:11:59):
Well, Trump wants that and he would love to have it.
The Russians, obviously they would like to have it too,
on their terms. The problem is, and I just gotta
be honest, the problem is that the Ukraine side and
the European side don't. They only want peace on their terms,
and their pressure hard to get that. That's why Zelenski
will be in town on Friday to talk to President
