Speaker 1 (00:04):
Five O five fifty five k RC detalk station that'd
be Tuesday, will.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Vation from this. What the hell?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, that's kind of the way I woke up. What
the hell I in advanced 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
Cobra FLP president comes on at seven oh five to

(01:13):
take the weight off my shoulders this morning, and I'm
talking about downtown safety and how the police officers feel
with our mayor right now. Aaron Winer Charter Committee Canada
for Sinceei City Council joins a program at seven thirty,
we'll hear about his plans for the Sinsint Police Apartment
and how his campaign is going. Fast forward to eight
oh five with the Inside Scoop Right Bart News White

(01:33):
House correspondent Nick Gilbertson talking about the Trump Middle East
peace deal, which the world seems to be celebrating, and
rightfully so, I can only hope that we can parlay
this into some sort of peace resolution between Russian 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 in 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
finding 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 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

(04:10):
and 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 claimed to be skeptical
about the numbers, but it named more than one hundred
and thirty four thousand dead. So no, no, no, it's

(04:35):
not 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, then 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 from 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 Oter 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 a 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 police, three
shellcasings found two suspects, one of whom arrested in over

(06:59):
the r soon after the shooting. The one victim is
a mail between the ages of are you ready sixteen
and seventeen years old?

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Joe?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
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 pro
ball statements and he had a statement from Corey Bowman.
Corey Bowman an alternative to mayor, have 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

(07:29):
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, and
yet violence continues. What what about all the progress we made?
What about MAGA undermining our safety and tearing apart of

(07:50):
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
parvol He's acknowledging that we've got a 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

(08:11):
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 need a change to the
transit hub. I don't know how that became. The Government
Square became a magnet for violence, but it is a

(08:33):
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 Government Square. See here Government Square.

(08:55):
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 have in society that young people are
out there committing crimes. Of course, folks with responsible parents

(09:17):
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. A, so we're gonna focus

(09:38):
on just the Fountain Square district. What do you think
like 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

(10:00):
stick Government Square. Curfews apply 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 unruly behavior and

(10:20):
enforcing laws as they're written. Fine, that's a mayor 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 parwall ends
with police officers being responsible and empowered to proactively intervene
in de escalating unruly behavior, enforcing laws as they're written,

(10:42):
Which is a change in his perspective in terms of
law enforcement. This is a recent change from mayor, have
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,

(11:09):
as well as the communications 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.

(11:32):
They're independent the U 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 in November or even right now, because early voting
is open choose your judges wisely anyway, New Amster, Gary

(11:56):
and Jay on the phone. 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.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
I have a little bit of issue that's not.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
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 5 (12:19):
That's good goodness to listen to you.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Brian.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
I've been retired for ten years and I can tell
you just a couple of observations that I make on
my partners. 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 a modern assembly, right, and

(13:29):
we've 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
stockpile 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. I
can't prove.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
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 literally everything

(15:27):
that we have. In terms of infrastructure. Our electric grid
can be shut down on a whim and the electric
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 Hadter. 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

(17:34):

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

Speaker 6 (17:49):
Thanks ran Hey.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
Just wanted to congratulate the listeners. We're up to sixty
five billion dollars in savings 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

(18:13):
I would love 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.

(18:35):
Your life 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,

(18:56):
what are we going to replace it with? Here's a night.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I don't don't allot 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 gov, 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 try 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 base for everything.
If we want to continue to overfund these overfunded schools
and pay the football tax and 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.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
Now.

Speaker 7 (20:18):
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
point it 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 what idea.

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 the 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.
That's a big hole that we could fill with primary
and second there. But I don't hear anybody talking about

(21:08):
this anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
No, You're right, That's why we have you Jay, to
keep reminding people how much fraud, waste, and abuse there
is out there. Every blank and government program is just
replete with fraud, waste, and 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?

Speaker 7 (21:45):
You gotta be would 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

(22:06):
choices for all of us.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Who every time you mentioned Central Committee? Rick Herron, 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):
and 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 8 (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 fundraiser drives.

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

Speaker 8 (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 is good.

Speaker 9 (23:37):
It's true.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
It's true. Yes, it is true.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
It is true. We are spending it 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 h But 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 rugby balls

(24:02):
into and oh, here's something for my cause, and oh
here's so here's some more from 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,

(24:22):
getting rid 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 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 people

(24:47):
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 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. This is
fifty five KRC and ihoarstational five forty here fifty five

(25:16):
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.

(25:38):
Reality of getting rid 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

(25:58):
going to fund fill in the black? Thanks? Hmmm, well,
let's look at 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, that's the fund. Maybe that's
the moment of desperation that will bring us about to
some form of a greater oversight which seems to be

(26:21):
in desperate need across every corner of government in the
entire United States. 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

(26:42):
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 don't know. Nobody followed up, Bobby, Welcome
to the Morning Show, and a happy Tuesday to.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
You by 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 6 (27:12):
I've got to repeat something I've discussed a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
The seventy two hour window.

Speaker 6 (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 6 (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. Yah, 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 6 (28:56):
In the state of Ohio. We have eighty eight counties.
Ten percent are run by Democrats, but that ten takes
care of fifty percent of the voting block. 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 to the morning show,
Happy Tuesday. If you can make it one.

Speaker 9 (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, you're.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
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 Carcity talks station,

(30:03):
feel free to call save me from myself. I'll be
right back.

Speaker 12 (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
gore to the phones, starting with Corey. Who's first in line, Cleveland.

(30:37):
I'll hang on brother, We'll get you next. Corey, thanks
for calling this morning, Good morning.

Speaker 11 (30:43):
Haven't called in and for a little bit would this
morning calling from Saginaw, Michigan this morning, listening on the app.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 11 (30:49):
But like Jays 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 a little bit.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Uh 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 calverts and
they tear up what they just did. Little you see
little stuff like that everywhere all the time. And US
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 more money

(31:33):
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 11 (31:48):
The whole system's built to take more and more and
more and more and make everybody dependent upon the government, Yes, sir, 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. Right. Yeah, there you have it, Cory, you
summed it up.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Man.

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

Speaker 9 (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's that's my comment for the day.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (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 gold 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 where 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. Love it 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

(33:45):
in Denver. It is called the International Taco Bell fifty
k Ultra Marathon. Fifty k translates into thirty one miles
described as loop through Denver, including men datory stops, mandatory
at ten taco bells. You must order to compete in

(34:07):
this event. Successfully, you have to order something at nine
out of the ten taco bells, and you actually have
to eat the food food specifically including one Chaloupa 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, so you got a

(34:30):
Chilupa Supreme and a crunch trapp 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

(34:52):
that's in quotes from the instructions they say. 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 at Chilupa Supreme is so no vomiting.

(35:13):
If you do, you're immediately disqualified and you're not allowed
to take stomach medicines like pepto, pepsid ac et cetera.

Speaker 13 (35:22):
I don't make the.

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

Speaker 13 (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 in any way, shape or form
of the event and will not comment on it. But

(35:48):
the 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 CASEE listener lunches are not sanctioned, but
of course they enjoy the publicity. Taco Bell. Wow, I

(36:13):
remember the last time I was at a Taco Bell.
Not a good experience. Five point fifty five five parisee
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 12 (36:31):
Today's tough headlines coming up at the six oh six
fifty five KR see the talk station.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
By the time, I was wishing your money. 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.
And I just asked Joe Strecker, this is the end

(37:03):
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 carsset morning he just calls in and
says he's not going to make it a work today anyway.
Apologies in advance. That's why I'm kind of a I

(37:25):
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 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 in
the fifty five Carsite morning show, Ken cober FLP President's

(37:47):
seven oh five, we'll talk about downtown safet. We've got
a couple of shootings at the City Bird. We have
comments from AFTAB Parvoll on law enforcement. I guess he's
acknowledging we really do have a crime problem. Now welcome
to reality. AFTAB Parvoll operable comments. Well, alternative comments with
Corey Bowman, an alternative to a have to have parvall as.
Since we're in open voting right now, go ahead and vote.

(38:09):
So we'll talk about downtown safety with Ken Cobra A
couple up with seven oh five, follow by Aaron Weiner
Charter Committee Canada for Sinceay City Council. He's got a
plan for the CINCINNT Police Department. We'll find out how
the campaign's going. Fast forward to eight oh five Insights
Scoop with Bright Bart News Today we get the White
House correspondent Nick Gilbertson to talk about the Middle East
peace and Trump's victory so far. Keep your popcorn out.

(38:30):
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 Otero Exit will join the program. Talk about that
at the end of the eight o'clock hour. Real quick here, Yeah,
just a couple of observations of the government shutdown and

(38:51):
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
layoffs to the Office of Management and Budget, which he

(39:13):
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
of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act. Democrats are

(39:36):
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
is it really I mean, are we holding hostage a

(39:59):
vast majority of American people in connection with this subsidy? No,
of course we're not so waiting for the November first
to open roll, but 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 of poverty level are no longer going to get
their premium subsidized. Is that going to really amount to

(40:20):
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, a lot of selected officials are going
to start hearing from their what else are they waiting for? Well,

(40:41):
they're waiting shut down to inflict pain upon you. You're flying
an airplane. Yeah. CENA Majority leader John Thune 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 bit personal.

Speaker 14 (41:02):
HM.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Senator Dick Durbin separately noted last week how air traffic
controllers were a driving factor in the last shutdown. Ooh,
the American people are going to be able to fly,
So let's make them feel that pain and 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,

(41:28):
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
was passed in the House that keeps government funding levels
of the Biden era level right that expires November twenty first,

(41:52):
right before Thanksgiving. But the more we TikTok TikTok in
a shutdown. The closer November twenty twenty first comes and
the House being in recess means apparently they're not working
on 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

(42:13):
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 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

(42:35):
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
deadline in a new bill into well just before Christmas,

(42:57):
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 3 (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 craft.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
That's in 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 ament on air that I'm feeling this way.
I'm just trying to give people an explanation for why
and maybe sell like an idiot this morning. So I

(44:06):
appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Well, yeah, I have him to do a blood work
up on you and make sure your platele account's good.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
And I just had 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 3 (44:31):
Well, I'll say, if you know, not to make too
fine a point on it, but that's why God made bourbon,
so I have got it too.

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 3 (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 CONNYE. 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 in

(45:54):
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 to just oh, 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 of 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 have

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

Speaker 3 (47:12):
It's firsthand. I witnessed it directly. And the interest, how do.

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 3 (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 rest of
your ballot will count, just to go. 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 counting machine.

(48:15):
Jack 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):
Dairly'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 enjoying. 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 15 (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 do you
can do a Google Google position with vertigo to see

(50:06):
if the symptoms 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 cronic condition.
Once you start getting it, it keeps on coming back every
so often.

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

Speaker 15 (50:22):
It has a longer name than that, but that's the
short cut version.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Okay.

Speaker 15 (50:26):
Also, you can also see an E.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
And T doctor.

Speaker 15 (50:28):
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 Alisa
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 the
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, man. 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

(51:47):
fiftieth year anniversary yesterday.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
Thank you, Brian.

Speaker 14 (51:51):
And then, you know, if I could, I would bring
my board down to the studio right now 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 14 (52:06):
I didn't even look at it that way.

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

Speaker 14 (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 is this in my head what they feel like
all the time?

Speaker 14 (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.

Speaker 14 (52:43):
Little empathy, little empathy, appreciate it. 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 for me veteran,
and the assisted living Facility put on a phenomenal celebration

(53:08):
for him. The placeless packed, 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 3 (53:20):
You know.

Speaker 14 (53:20):
They played very patriotic music and one of the trustees
was there to make it Hank marsh On day and
Anderson Township. That's great and it reminded me so much
when we celebrated Bob Dulin's 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

(53:41):
your money today, let.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Me tell 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.

Speaker 14 (53:59):
I'm glad that's 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,

(54:22):
you know, 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.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
I mean exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
He was a kid.

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

Speaker 7 (55:13):
It.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
I appreciate it, I really do. Mike, thanks very much.
Feel I appreciate that too. I'm hoping I will with

that we have a problem with gun violence in town. Hm,
the violence continues, the recent violence and Fountain Square Government

(55:58):

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

nothing to see here. Isn't that the word that Aftab

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs seat deep talk station.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Six forty here fifty five kr SEB talk station. World's
in a bit of a subultory mood, seeing that we
have some sort of at least movement toward peace and
parlia 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 of the

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

(58:03):
term October thirteenth looms large. He writes, released to the
last living hostages from their inhumane and indefensible captivity. Trump's
speech at the canness It 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

(58:25):
tell what that all means. Events are still 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 of October seventh,

(58:48):
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 have reassured Israel threatened to

(59:09):
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 Nettyahoo has cemented his place in history of the
Jewish people. He has his flaws and has made his

(59:31):
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 Moishe Diane. Mister Netanyahu imposed his leadership on a
country that yearned to reject him, brought order to an
unruly coalition, and combined flexibility of means with steadfastness of

(59:52):
purpose to bring Israel's greatest and most harrowing war to
a triumphant conclusion. Fourth stripe, 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 the conflict hasn't been and

(01:00:13):
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 Palestinian conflict is far

(01:00:34):
from the only one in Middle East. Ethnic and religious
tensions have ripped Syria and Lobanon 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 at his five points,

(01:00:58):
that may be the core of everything right there religious
disputes which I will call childish fifth. While the Gods
Accords 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 nihilistic force. It was

(01:01:22):
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, whereas
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 part, the careless sentimentalism

(01:01:45):
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 part to play.
But the capacity to incite greta thunbird to join a

(01:02:09):
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 their economies and
attract international investment without the perpetual upheaval of chaos on

(01:02:30):
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 ideological beliefs and get along and quit
killing each other. What a great message. Huh Okay, we

(01:02:51):
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 it and its borders.
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
for thousands of years. Okay, so let's play nicely with

(01:03:14):
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 the
Trump's triph over Moss. They also want to most to
suffer the kind of crushing defeat that would reduce its
ideological appeal among their own citizens. This would be the

(01:03:34):
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

(01:03:57):
was 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 mister

(01:04:39):
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 test
to come. Food for thought. Thank you Walter Russell Meade

(01:07:06):
That's at seven point thirty. In the meantime, related to
absolutely nothing been talking about. I just got a big
kick out of this.

Speaker 14 (01:07:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
With FCC non compliant editorial comments written on the article
by executive producer Joe Strecker Inhaler's 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

(01:07:39):
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 million metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of MISI in the US

(01:08:01):
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 across tens

(01:08:21):
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. That is,

(01:08:43):
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 well as climate change makes air pollution worse.

(01:09:06):
They said, meter dose inhaler is 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

(01:09:27):
can't do a blanken thing 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,

(01:09:50):
you can just forget 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,

(01:10:13):
the trees and the plants are all well very happy
with that reality. Six to fifty five fifty five KRC,

I guess Brian Thomas here. Happy to welcome back to
the fifty five Karsee Morning Show Can Cober, the president

(01:11:31):
of the Fraternal Order Police Chapter sixty nine, which represents
the SINCINNTI 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 had 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

(01:12:01):
in time ago, a tab pervol 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 2 (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 seem and I know Corey Bowman's you know
comment about after 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 Purvol has about where the
police are allocated. In terms of resources, you obviously need
a couple of hundred additional officers. That's been a ongoing problem.

(01:13:17):
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 2 (01:13:26):
Well, I mean, is somebody within city administration?

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Does?

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
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 of course we have an election year, so politics

(01:13:52):
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 what is your desire?
What are the desires of the men and women in
uniform right now that aren't being addressed?

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Well, let the police chief the r 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

(01:14:35):
off 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
halls 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 proputms. I knew after that 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, law breaking youths
or whoever's hanging out there just move someplace else.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Well, you know this, 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

(01:15:50):
kids from other neighborhoods that are driving as 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

(01:16:10):
location that quite honestly a lot of them don't have
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 purwell 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 whe where the central location

(01:16:39):
is that needs to be rethought or changed.

Speaker 2 (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. You know.
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

(01:17:27):
been talked about and there's been so much pushback about
it that transit tunnel sits empty ninety nine percent of
the year. 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, Well, I.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
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 takes, how much fuel it takes, all
these things, 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

(01:18:21):
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. 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 enoughs enough, We're
not dealing with this anymore. You know, you have police
officers that are standing in Fountain Square and they're people

(01:19:09):
shooting each other anyway, So they've got to do something
to figure out how to deal with this. You know,
the these traditional methods of 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 Thigi?
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 k 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 Kob Chapter
sixty nine represented this in sant Police Apartment, Ken Cober. Obviously,
no confidence vote means you have no confidence in a

(01:20:07):
may have to have purvol you said, you know, leave
it the allocation of resources and police patrols and decision
making with regard to since St 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 Cythigi. I've heard, and I've
heard it from quite a few of the officers that
I know, the answer to that question is no. That's

(01:20:30):
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 2 (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

(01:21:01):
the police chief, and it's not just Chief Thiji, it's
been every chief that's come after Chief Striker when he
retired in twenty ten. They behold to the city manager
and the mayor politics if they say, yeah, it's all politics.
And that's why I've been very very vocal about politicians
need to stay out a law enforcement and unfortunately we

(01:21:22):
don't have that. We saw it 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
it's like she's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And I get it. Now you have a boss that
you have to answer to that's going to tell you you're

(01:21:43):
gonna do this, You're gonna do that, and if you
don't do it, then the consequences could be your terminated.
So would I like to see her do things differently?

Speaker 10 (01:21:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (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 do.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
You know. 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 your best interest.

(01:22:27):
You're gonna 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.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Well, yeah, and you know it would take some kind
of ballot 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 about initiative on where you know, we consider
maybe the majority of council decides, you know, whether or
not we hire or fire somebody. I don't know. 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,

(01:23:28):
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 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

(01:23:49):
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 only did the police
department to the men and women that served this police department,
but also for the citizens. They deserve to have a
police chief that is able to make decisions based off

(01:24:10):
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 2 (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 running 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.
And unfortunately, because he 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

(01:25:00):
there for two years, they didn't even offer a contract extension.
They said, yeah, thanks, but no thanks to you later.
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

(01:25:22):
know if that differs from what a politician says, because
at the end of the day, if they want to
stay employed, they're going to do what politicians tell him
to do. 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, so I appreciate coming on the show
talking 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. In the meantime. Welcome back to

(01:26:18):
the fifty five CARSSE Morning Show run for CINCINNTI Council
as a Charter Right candidate, Aaron Weiner, who also has
and congratulations Aaron, welcome back the FOP endorsement on the
heels of ken Cobra being on the program. Good to
have you back on.

Speaker 6 (01:26:30):
Sir, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 10 (01:26:33):
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 prong 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. Fine, so we're competing with every
other jurisdiction in the land for police officers. Were already
down a couple of hundred hires. 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.

Speaker 10 (01:27:36):
Erin 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 count 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 and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Well, darn I got let me just introject 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 a 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 10 (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 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

(01:30:02):
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,
Landlard wouldn't want a police officer living in they're building.
I think also 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

(01:30:23):
the issue of trust, right, So all of a sudden
someone is your neighbor. It's hard to be indifferent when
someone is your neighbors. So you have that you build
that trust with with our police officers, which really speaks
to the community policing, which 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 14 (01:31:10):
Let me be clear.

Speaker 10 (01:31:11):
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 they're getting a

(01:31:32):
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 ar CEE talk station and
find them 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 guy 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 the
reduction in 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 10 (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 too, just to.

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

Speaker 10 (01:33:20):
In propriety correct, I would certainly be an ardent supporter
of it. But yes, so as as a realtor, we
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

(01:33:43):
used 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 commission that's earned in the sale. So yeah,

(01:34:06):
people are going to 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 Carbell Banker. You know, we're
a big company. It has to go up to the flagpole.
But I talked to Scott Nelson, who's a dear friend
of mine, in a brilliant mind in real estate. He
loved the idea has to obviously think through the strategics

(01:34:29):
of it, and I'm sure Sis 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 erin 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 10 (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 too. 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 Sat police

(01:36:25):
officers 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 10 (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 buyofs to tire 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 dollars. Let's say you're maybe you're working in a
more stressful location of the city and you're thinking about.

(01:37:40):
It's a one time incentive, targeted incentives. This is focused
on retention for officers with the five to fifteen years experience, who,
like you said, might be attracted to go to Blue
ash or Green Township or Springfield Township where I grew up.
So these are just some of the ways of of
keeping people rewarding them for staying on and investing in

(01:38:03):
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 who offer
bonuses annually for you know, valuable employees. It's a wonderful
thing to know that if 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 winerforth 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 counsel. How you feeling out there as you
go from neighborhood to neighborhood and campaigning.

Speaker 10 (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 for
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
li in November. And a reminder to listeners, early voting

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

Speaker 10 (01:40:16):
Thank you, Thank you for the opportunity my.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Fifty three fifty five kannasy 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 aligne
that forced Hamas into a corner, and not a good
corner for Hamas. They cite 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 Natanyahu 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.
By the fact, you may have some pro Hamas protesters
in the streets of New York or elsewhere here in

(01:42:07):
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 K Steve Talks 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. I 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 12 (01:43:23):
It's tough headlines coming on.

Speaker 10 (01:43:24):
What's happening.

Speaker 8 (01:43:25):
You know what's going on around town, around the country.

Speaker 2 (01:43:29):
I need to know the weather in traffic. Listen and
you'll know.

Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
On fifty five KRC talkstation eight o six Here fifty
five KRRC E talkstation. 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

(01:43:54):
fifty five KRCCEN Morning show. Always reading what White House
correspondent Nick Gilbertson's writing about. Welcome back, 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.

(01:44:15):
It's an amazing accomplishment. Nick, Welcome back. It's good to
hear from me this morning.

Speaker 4 (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, from all
over the world, so just really remarkable, remarkable stuff and what.

Speaker 1 (01:44:38):
To show you to 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 doesn doesn't even know

(01:45:00):
where they are. 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 4 (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 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 of

(01:46:12):
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 4 (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 intra are key here in bringing.

Speaker 9 (01:46:32):
This deal about.

Speaker 11 (01:46:32):
And I know, uh, you know, like Egypt.

Speaker 4 (01:46:36):
Turkey, Qatar, all those other countries. President Trump, when when
he was talking about supporting Gaza yesterday, he put a
major emphasis on militarization of Gaz, you know, of of
of the police or rather of Gozzin's and he was
talking about a police force that would kind of, you know,
be be separate and kind of you know, keep order

(01:47:01):
in Gaza, but a heavy emphasis on demilitarization. And I
think the term you used was an honest civilian police
force to create, you know, a safe condition for the
people in Gaza. 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 still, I
think they're on step six or seven somewhere in yeah,

(01:47:24):
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 out.

Speaker 1 (01:47:33):
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 Korns,
Donald Trump made some really great inroads in getting folks

(01:47:56):
to play nicely together for their own economic benefit. I mean,
who can argue with that.

Speaker 12 (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 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?

Speaker 4 (01:48:31):
Nick, Yeah, absolutely, I think I think one thing that
is good that 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

(01:48:51):
there are any hiccups, I think, you know, these are
very 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,
the stick right, And I think that that's a that's
a that's a critical thing here, and that's something we

(01:49:12):
certainly didn't see in the last administration. That couldn't even
you know, get the ball rolling any anywhere close to
a potential piece deal here. And uh so I think,
you know, yeah, we'll we'll see how it all shakes
out again. Everything's you know, very tensitive here, but I
think so far.

Speaker 3 (01:49:31):
So good.

Speaker 4 (01:49:31):
And uh, I think that was such a strong showing
yesterday too in the region to have all 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 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 4 (01:50:15):
Absolutely you had countries represented from from every single continent.
I think even the President of Paraguay was there yesterday.

Speaker 7 (01:50:23):
From the all.

Speaker 4 (01:50:27):
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 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

(01:50:49):
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.

Speaker 3 (01:51:00):
I believe you.

Speaker 4 (01:51:01):
Had a Japan over there, and then even countries that
Trump has already broken peace deals with, right so our
media Azerbaijan, they were there together. Trump just ended, you know,
I believe a thirty plus a 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.

Speaker 3 (01:51:32):
So you know, he's got eight so far.

Speaker 4 (01:51:34):
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 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.
That that was a huge hurdle.

Speaker 4 (01:52:22):
Absolutely, And I think that that goes to show too
how President Trump's relationship with SISI 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. He works with what he has, right,

(01:52:44):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:53:12):
Well, I'll tell you what I think to go.

Speaker 4 (01:53:15):
Oh yeah, and I think too, you know, I just
people forget to Like two months ago he just like
brokeer this amazing or rather historic trade deal between the
European Union and in the United States. I think, uh,
you know, just just whether it be deadlines. He hit
himas with this this pretty pretty uh serious statement on

(01:53:39):
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. 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, one big beautiful bill. He's very good at

(01:54:03):
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 4 (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 neutralized their nuclear program a few months ago with
those strikes on Foord and a tons Esbaham like you
were like you were saying, and that you know, sends
a message to everybody else too, that's the side thing.

(01:55:28):
But yeah, 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 that, you know, Hamas is a cell essentially

(01:55:51):
right of Iran. They get funding from there, they traditionally did,
so I think that goes to show, you know, the
weakness of Iran. 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 I hope
to talk to them and eventually right when they want

(01:56:13):
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, they're pretty heavy also offering the
carrot in terms of, you know, wanting to bring them

(01:56:35):
middle wanting to bring them into you know, uh uh, you.

Speaker 1 (01:56:42):
Know, a peaceful coalition.

Speaker 9 (01:56:45):
Exactly, exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:56:46):
You've 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 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 4 (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 fundamentalism 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 uh yeah, I think it shows

(01:58:57):
a 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 broad in it, expand it.
And look, I think if you can bring peace to

(01:59:20):
the region too, Like, imagine what this does for a
potential trade route maybe right again, 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 I'm sure China's a

(01:59:43):
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 4 (02:00:07):
My friend, you too, Brian, thanks again for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:00:11):
Always a pleasure. Eight twenty two Right now, stick around
the Daniel David.

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
Fifty five KARC the Talk Station, a twenty.

Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
Nine to fifty five krsite 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,
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 good here. It's

(02:00:39):
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. Your

(02:01:00):
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 13 (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.

Speaker 17 (02:01:49):
But Phase two hasn't even been.

Speaker 13 (02:01:51):
Negotiated yet, and there's still a lot of problems to
go with that.

Speaker 17 (02:01:55):
So I don't want to get too optimistic, but I am.

Speaker 13 (02:01:57):
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 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

(02:02:18):
was willing to put pressure in both directions on Hamas
and on the Israeli side. Because this you'd certainly know,
there's many on the Israeli side that did not want
a cease fire.

Speaker 17 (02:02:26):
They only wanted a military victory.

Speaker 13 (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.

Speaker 17 (02:02:41):
Does translate into an enduring peace.

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
this before, 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, talking
about you know, getting the players negotiate getting the border
with Egypt open to allow the back and forth flow
of humanity and humanitarian relief, and that was a big

(02:03:07):
step as well.

Speaker 2 (02:03:09):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 13 (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.

Speaker 17 (02:03:22):
That's to plan.

Speaker 13 (02:03:23):
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 spots for the entire Gosze strip.
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

(02:03:43):
that will still leave Israel and control of about fifty
eight percent of the strip. So in that remaining forty
two percent, now more vehicles with food is going in
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, they 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 13 (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 gonna 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,

(02:05:37):
because listen, many times I think on your show, I've
had issue with the Israeli government of well things they do.
They're the ones that are dropping bombs, et cetera.

Speaker 17 (02:05:45):
But man, you can't go much.

Speaker 13 (02:05:47):
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 the entire place and
the suffering of the Palestinian people. They're tired of that,
they're tired of the as you said, they're tired of

(02:06:09):
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.

Speaker 17 (02:06:15):
So they want them to get out.

Speaker 13 (02:06:17):
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 and a hope for a future.
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 of 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 13 (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 victory
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 17 (02:08:21):
So that is good news.

Speaker 1 (02:08:22):
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 acceptable people is going to step

(02:08:43):
in to provide the leadership for this region.

Speaker 13 (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, but the Palestinians say, we.

Speaker 17 (02:08:56):
Want to choose who is.

Speaker 13 (02:08:57):
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.

Speaker 17 (02:09:15):
In this prisoner exchange that just happened. We'll see how
that works out.

Speaker 13 (02:09:20):
But the Palestinians minus Hamas, they want to decide that
on their own, and that's 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 over war. How many people are actually
dying and being killed in the Russian Ukraine conflict Politico
article Russia bleeds troops form 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 13 (02:09:59):
I'll just tell you to 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 4 (02:10:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:10:17):
I don't think it is even half that.

Speaker 13 (02:10:19):
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 are.

Speaker 17 (02:10:38):
Succeeding at that.

Speaker 2 (02:10:39):
And I have.

Speaker 13 (02:10:40):
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 17 (02:10:58):
But they said it is not true.

Speaker 13 (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, and they're making significant losses in the
Koupiansk and in the other areas of the Donetic Front

(02:11:22):
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,
and even more reason why we need to get this
war wrapped up even more.

Speaker 1 (02:11:35):
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 right direction
between Israel and Hamas, that it might catch on between

(02:11:56):
Russia and in Ukraine.

Speaker 13 (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
Trump to try and really get him to release Tomahawk missiles,

(02:12:21):
which Trump said.

Speaker 13 (02:12:23):

really is, because that would only exacerbate and raise higher
the possibility of a clash with Russia, which they said,
this is different because the Tomahawk missile can contain a
nuclear warhead where the others can't, so it's a bigger
red line. I don't want to find out if they
mean that or not, so I'm all for getting this

(02:12:43):
deal wrapped up quickly.

Speaker 1 (02:12:44):
Amen to that, Daniel Davis. And Plus you also pointed
out in our previous conversations, if we give him tomahawks,
it's going to require American military personnel to operate them,
which means we're in a fighting war with Russia, and
nobody wants that. Daniel Davis, deep dive. Always a distinct
pleasure to have you on the fifty five carssee Morning
Shore every Tuesday. God bless you, sir. I'll look forward
to next Tuesday, another discussion. See you next week. Take
